US apparel retailers see sales soften in April
By Leonie Barrie | 4 May 2012
After the warmer weather and early Easter helped US apparel retailers to higher same-store sales in March, it was perhaps not surprising there would be a slowdown in April.
Add in tough comparisons with the same month last year, which was in turn boosted by a late Easter, and it's easy to see why many US retailers fell short of expectations. Rising gas prices and other economic concerns, including weak job and income growth coupled with stubbornly high gas costs, continue to force consumers to make tough choices.
Overall, though, "the tone is slightly softer than recent months, but on a two-month basis remains relatively steady with its year-to-date trend," the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) believes.
Its tally of US chain store retailers showed a 0.6% year-on-year rise in April compared with a 4.1% rise in March. Excluding drug stores, the pace rose 2.4% in April versus a gain of 6.8% in March.
After last month hailing the early warm weather for drawing attention to its "outstanding assortments of fresh spring goods," Macy's president and CEO Terry Lundgren summed up the challenge facing the department store retailer in April.
"April sales were planned to be weaker than in March, given the calendar shift in which the pre-Easter period fell into March this year versus April last year," he said. "Moreover, April 2012 sales were disadvantaged by a Mother's Day that is later in May this year." Macy's same-store sales edged up just 1.2% in April, versus 7.3% in March.
This year Easter fell two weeks earlier than last year, which helped retailers by pulling sales forward into March. Because of this shift, many commentators believe the best measure of performance is the combined sales for the two months of March and April.
On a two-month basis to smooth out the impact of Easter, the ICSC said comparable-store sales rose by 2.4% in total, and 4.6% without drug stores.
Missing the mark were Target Corp (whose same-store sales were up 1.1% compared with a year ago) and Saks (up 2%), whereas falls were seen at Gap Inc (down 2%), Wet Seal (down 9.6%) and Kohl's (down 3.5%).
On the other hand, TJX Cos Inc (up 6%) and Victoria's Secret parent Limited Brands Inc (up 6%) beat estimates. Other winners included teen clothier Zumiez (up 10.1%), upscale department store Nordstrom (up 7.1%) and discounter Ross Stores (up 7%).
If there is some consolation to be had, it's that retailers seemed to have reverted to fewer promotions than a year ago. And of course there are also hopes that the return of warmer, seasonal weather will help drive sales of summer merchandise in the next couple of months.

Topic: Plant Identification
Title: Plant identification
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Mr. Smarty Plants, My neighbor gave me a plant that is about 3 foot tall, has a main stalk, and leaves that produce small �baby� plants at the edge of the leaves. These plants grow roots and once developed they fall from the leaves. Each groove on the leaf will have a small plant. There are not a lot of leaves on the stalk. The leaves grow oposite of each other on the stalk. The plant seems to be a type of succulent but I am not sure. The leaves are thick with sharp edges (similar to an aloe vera plant but not as thick. I do have a few images that I could email if needed.
ANSWER:Yes, please e-mail us the images. I'm afraid we can't ID your plant even from your very detailed description without a photo or two. Please visit the Ask Mr. Smarty Plants page and read the instructions for submitting photographs there under "Plant Identification". We look forward to seeing your plant.

Major histocompatibility complex haplotype studies in Ashkenazi Jewish patients with pemphigus vulgaris.
Department of Oral Pathology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115.
Of 26 Ashkenazi Jewish patients with pemphigus vulgaris, 24 (92.3%) carried the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II alleles HLA-DR4, DQw3, of which all were of the subtype DR4, DQw8. From studies of the patients and their families, haplotypes were defined. It was found that, of the patients who carried HLA-DR4, DQw8, 75% carried one or the other (and in one case, both) of two haplotypes [HLA-B38, SC21, DR4] or HLA-B35, SC31, DR4. The former is a known extended haplotype among normal Jews, with a frequency of 0.102, and the latter may also be an extended haplotype in this ethnic group, with a frequency of 0.017 among normal haplotypes from Jews. Of the remaining DR4-positive patients, all but one had a presumed D-region segment (defined as SC21, DR4, DQw8 or SC31, DR4, DQw8 with variable HLA-B) of these haplotypes. Only one patient had DR4, DQw8 without any other markers of the extended haplotypes. The number of homozygotes and heterozygotes for DR4, DQw8 was consistent with dominant but not recessive (P less than 0.01) inheritance of a class II or a class II-linked susceptibility gene for the disease. Since the disease is entirely attributable to the presence of an antibody to an intraepidermal intercellular cement substance, it is likely that the class II susceptibility gene (on [HLA-B38, SC21, DR4, DQw8], HLA-B35, SC31, DR4, DQw8, or their segments, in Jewish patients) controls the production of the antibody as a dominantly expressed immune response gene.

This application claims priority from Great Britain Application Ser. No. 0423474.6, filed Oct. 22, 2004.
The present invention relates to a wheel suspension and retraction system, more particularly to a retraction arrangement for an amphibious vehicle capable of powered travel on land and water. The invention has particular, but not exclusive, application for an amphibious vehicle in which a user sits astride the vehicle in the manner of a motorcycle, jet ski, quad bike, or the like.
Amphibious vehicles capable of powered travel on both land and water are known. In a typical arrangement, a prime mover (such as an engine or electric motor) is arranged to provide drive to a marine propulsion unit to propel the vehicle on water and to one or more road wheels for travel on land.
Because of the need to drive a marine propulsion unit and at least one road wheel, the power train of an amphibious vehicle is often more complex than that of a conventional road going vehicle or marine-only craft. This can give rise to difficulties in designing a power train to be accommodated in the limited available space, whilst also ensuring that the weight distribution is satisfactory for both land and marine usage. This problem is particularly acute for smaller "sit-astride" type amphibious vehicles that are similar in form to motorcycles, jet-skis, or quad bikes. Such vehicles tend to have narrower, taller bodywork that makes it difficult to accommodate a conventional amphibious vehicle power train.
The problems associated with amphibious vehicles are not limited to the arrangement of the power train, since the limitations of space also have an impact on other aspects of amphibious vehicle design. For example, the suspension for the road wheels has to be accommodated alongside the power train. This can be a particular problem in the case of an amphibious vehicle in which the road wheels are retractable when the vehicle is being used for marine travel.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,903,831 (Bartlett) is one of many prior art examples of amphibious vehicle wheel retraction arrangements. It uses a single hydraulic ram to retract both of the vehicle's front wheels via a rotatable shaft and a series of linkages and chain drives. The use of a single ram to retract two wheels is attractive; but Bartlett's system has many practical drawbacks. For example, it does not disclose shock absorbers (also known as dampers), and wheel suspension is provided using leaf springs and a single rigid axle. Leaf springs are heavy, bulky, and liable to unpredictable onset of inter-leaf friction, especially as the vehicle ages and corrosion sets in. Furthermore, the live axle design used in U.S. Pat. No. 3,903,831, which is almost extinct in contemporary passenger car production, commits a vehicle builder using Bartlett's design to standards of ride and handling which would be uncompetitive against modem light road vehicles. It should be noted that Bartlett's vehicle is an amphibious motor home; while leaf sprung live axles are still common for heavy vehicles, it is imperative for a smaller vehicle to offer independent wheel springing.
Further examples of retractable suspensions may be seen in U.S. Pat. No. 5,755,173 (Rorabaugh), U.S. Pat. No. 5,590,617 (Aquastrada), U.S. Pat. No. 4,958,584, (Williamson), and U.S. Pat. No. 4,241,686 (Westphalen). U.S. Pat. No. 5,590,617 utilises a dual-piston hydraulic ram as an actuator for retracting a pair of wheels, whereas a lead screw is used in the other cases. In all of these designs, use of a single actuator for pairs of wheels and their associated suspension arrangements is apparently a good way to save money and weight; but it is clear from the cross-sectional views provided in each of these patents that all of these retraction arrangements take up a lot of room in terms of height and width.
There is a need, therefore, for an amphibious vehicle having an improved or alternative arrangement for retraction of the wheels that can be more easily accommodated in a smaller space, particularly, but not exclusively, for a sit-astride type amphibious vehicle.
Japanese patent application JP-63-002712A1 of Ishida describes an amphibious vehicle with retractable wheels. The retractable wheels are arranged in pairs longitudinally, fore and aft, along the vehicle; w. With the wheels of each pair connected to a common rocker member whose rotation can raise or lower the wheels. A separate spring and damper assembly is provided for each wheel. The front wheels are not connected to a common rocker arm, nor are the back wheels. This requires a mechanism which extends along the length of the vehicle, which is difficult to package. It mandates deep and wide bodyside cavities, making occupant access difficult, and would raise the vehicle's center of gravity when compared to a conventional suspension, increasing roll angles on land and on water, and with negative effects on ride motions. Ishida requires this packaging to enable easy connection of each rocker arm to a manually windable handle accessible from the vehicle cabin. The rocker arm of Ishida is a straight member and the wheels of Ishida on retraction pivot about axes running transversely, left to right, across the vehicle. This in turn dictates a suspension geometry of pure leading and trailing arms. This allows negligible camber change on corners, severely limiting roadholding on land. A single suspension arm to a front wheel in particular, may lead to considerable problems with wheel shimmy, and associated unpleasant feedback through the steering system.

In a seventh aspect the present invention provides a wheel suspension arrangement for an amphibious vehicle, the suspension arrangement having a wet side exposed in use to water through which the vehicle travels and a dry side shielded from exposure to the water, the suspension arrangement comprising:
The invention is particularly applicable for sit-astride type amphibious vehicles.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments which, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrate by way of example the principles of the invention.
The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to
The amphibious vehicle 2 has a main body 14 and a hull 16, which are formed separately and joined at a split line indicated at 18. A driver's seat 22 is provided on the main body 14, along with a passenger seat 24 astern of the driver's seat 22. Although only a single passenger seat 24 is illustrated, more than one passenger seat may be provided. The axis of the seating is arranged on the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, or parallel thereto. Handlebars 26 are provided in front of the driver's seat 22, with a windscreen 28 mounted in front of the handle bar 26.
The lower surface of the hull 16 has a planing surface 20, for marine travel. Mounted in the hull 16, the amphibious vehicle 2 has a prime mover 4, typically an internal combustion engine, to provide both marine drive and locomotion. The axis of the prime mover 4 may be along, or parallel to, the longitudinal axis of the vehicle 2.
Marine drive is facilitated by marine drive means 6 mounted at the rear of the hull 16, to the right as viewed in
In use, during marine travel the vehicle 2 is configured to sit in water with the water line substantially in line with or below the split line 18 between the main body 14 and hull 16. The vehicle 2 will sit substantially "nose up", i.e. with the front end of the vehicle, to the left as viewed in
Referring now to
The rear axle of the vehicle 100 incorporates two driven road wheels 104 supported by in-board wheel suspension arrangements indicated at 106 (described in more detail below with reference to
The hull 102 has a substantially V-shaped profile in cross-section over a majority of its length and has a lower surface 112, which incorporates a planing surface for marine travel of the vehicle 100. The lower surface 112 includes covers 114 provided on either side of the vehicle 100 for each hull slot 108. Rods 116 connect the covers 114 to the wheel retraction arrangements, so that the covers 114 move with the wheel retraction arrangements during retraction or protraction of the road wheels 104, as will be apparent from a comparison of
The hull 102 further includes a recess 118 which forms a water inlet for the jet drive of the vehicle, the periphery of which is also sealed for preventing the inboard passage of undesired moisture and detritus.
For the avoidance of doubt, references to "vertical" or "vertically" throughout this specification, including the claims, should be understood as relating to a direction from top to bottom (or vice versa) of the vehicle when it is supported by its wheels or by its hull in an orientation conventional for locomotion on land, rather than a direction that is necessarily orthogonal to the horizontal.
For ease of description, the wheel retraction and suspension arrangement for the rear axle arrangement shown in
The rear axle arrangement is indicated generally at 200 and includes a pair of suspension upright members 202, each having a wheel hub 204 mounted thereon. Each upright member 202 and wheel hub 204 forms a wheel hub assembly. The term "upright" should be understood not to imply that the member extends vertically, but that it is the member to which upper and lower suspension arms are connected with their points of attachment spaced vertically. As can be seen in
A lower suspension arm 214 is pivotably connected to the lower end of each suspension upright 202 by means of a pivotal connection, as indicated at 217 in
As can be seen most clearly in
The arrangement ensures that each wheel suspension needs only one aperture through the hull below the waterline and this aperture can easily be sealed by an annular seal such as lip seal or a shaft seal and avoids the need for a diaphragm seal (which can be difficult to make watertight). If preferred the bearing 900 could also be mounted inboard of the hull, in which case the torsion tubes 216 and 218 would extend through two aligned apertures in the hull, with annular seals provided to seal around each aperture.
The annular seals could be inboard. A flange 219 is provided on each of the torsion tubes 216, 218, (at the lower ends thereof as viewed in
Referring back to
The two spring and damper assemblies 224 are mounted substantially parallel to one another when viewed in plan (
The spring and damper assemblies 224 include a coil spring 226 disposed around a telescopic damper unit 228 having a push rod 230. The components of the suspension arrangements 224 are of known construction and are not described in detail.
The inner ends of push-rods 230 are both pivotably connected to a common rocker member 232 by means of a pivotal connection 234, visible in
The relationship between the rocker member 232 and spring and damper assemblies 224 is such that the rocker member 232 maintains the two spring and damper assemblies in a spaced apart relationship with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
A hydraulic actuator indicated at 242 in
As will be appreciated from
The arrangement shown in
A typical operation of the preferred embodiment will now be described, with particular reference to
If it is desired to move the wheels 104 from the protracted position shown in
Rotation of the rocker member 232 in this manner causes the spring and damper assemblies 224 to be pulled 'inboard', from the extended position shown in
The arrangement of the components 224 and 232 defines a substantially Z-shaped mechanism, with the suspension arrangements 224 forming acute angles with the rocker member 232 when the suspension is retracted. The mechanism is hinged at its vertices so that the angle between a respective suspension arrangement 224 and the rocker member 232 becomes more acute during retraction of the actuator piston rod 246, that is to say that the angle between the suspension arrangement 224 and the rocker member 232 decreases during retraction. The mechanism is such that the retraction of the actuator piston rod 246 causes the two spring and damper assemblies 224 to fold together, relative to the rocker member 232, as can be seen from a comparison of
The inboard movement of the suspension arrangements 224 causes the upper ends of the link arms 220 to pivot inwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as viewed in
Rotation of the two torsion tubes 216, 218 is imparted to the lower suspension arms 214, so that the outer ends move outwardly and upwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as will be apparent from a comparison of
The suspension upright members 202 are connected to the rest of the rear axle arrangement 200 through the upper and lower suspension arms 208, 214, so that they move upwardly to the retracted position shown in
Since the wheel hubs 204 are connected to the suspension upright members 202, the actuation of the retraction arrangement in the manner described above acts to move the rear wheels of the vehicle to a retracted position, as shown in
As described above, the retraction assembly 242 includes a member 232, which is configured to rock about a pivot point 240, with this movement being translated to the suspension upright members 202 for retracting or protracting both wheel hubs 204, in a single operation.
As can be seen from
If it is desired to move the wheels from the retracted position shown in
In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the wheels at the front axle of the amphibious vehicle, for example as shown in
A preferred front axle arrangement is shown in
The front axle arrangement, indicated at 300, is mounted on a suspension support frame or subframe structure 302, which is configured for mounting in the hull of an amphibious vehicle, such as that shown in
A steering assembly, indicated at 304, is also mounted on the support frame 302 in communication with the suspension upright members 202, so as to steer the vehicle on land in a manner well known in the art. The steering assembly 304 includes a steering box input shaft 306, rotatably mounted on the support frame 302, for communication between the wheel hubs 204 and manually operated steering means, for example a handle bar or steering wheel type arrangement, attached to the main body of the amphibious vehicle.
As will be understood from
The general construction and operation of the wheel retraction and suspension arrangements shown in
Whilst above a hydraulic system of actuation is described, an electrical motor system (e.g. an arrangement of a threaded spindle engaged by a rotating nut) or a pneumatic cylinder system could be used.
It can be seen that the present invention provides compact and versatile wheel retraction and suspension arrangements for an amphibious vehicle. In the preferred embodiments, a single actuator is mounted horizontally within the vehicle, for lifting and lowering wheels on either side of the vehicle at each axle. The hydraulic wheel retraction arrangement is effectively isolated from the individual coil springs and dampers, which enables spring and damper rates to be tuned independently of the wheel retraction actuator.
Whereas the invention has been described in relation to what are presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed arrangements but rather is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent constructions included within the spirit and scope of the invention. Where three road wheels are provided, the retraction arrangements described above could be used for two transversely aligned wheels, and a separate system provided for the one remaining wheel. Accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited except by the appended claims.

'Chilling' cyber stalker terrorised girl with Facebook death threats for two years after she refused to go out with him
Jason Smith: Sent up to 30 threatening messages a day to victim he met once
One of Britain's most obsessive cyber stalkers terrorised a girl on the internet for almost two years because she refused to go out with him.
Jason Smith bombarded Alexandra Scarlett with up to 30 threatening messages a day on her Facebook and MySpace accounts.
In a series of vicious rants, Smith, 23, vowed to slash the 20-year old student's face, said he would rape her mother and aunt and also threatened to shoot her father.
Miss Scarlett, who had given Smith her phone number after meeting him at a Manchester nightclub, repeatedly shut down her accounts and opened up new ones - but he always managed to track them down and hound her again.
She tried to block his Facebook page 40 times but he set up new ones and posted further terrifying messages, including threatening to kill her.
Today Smith was under a lifetime restraining order banning him from contacting Miss Scarlett after a judge said he needed treatment for an 'erotic mania' psychological disorder.
He was also given a 12-month prison term suspended for two years after he admitted harassment.
Sentencing him at Manchester Crown Court, the judge, Mr Recorder Stephen Bedford, described Smith's actions as 'chilling'.
He told the offender: 'You had just one meeting with Alaxandra Scarlett and she made what she probably regrets as one of the biggest mistakes of her life.
'It seems you think you are God's gift to women and when they do not respond to you cannot accept it.'
He added: 'You appear to have no idea of the impact that messages like that could have. 'Although she changed address, you continued…this must have been quite chilling for her.'
The victim was too upset to talk about her ordeal. But in statement read to court she said: 'I was petrified that he might find me.
'I felt like I could not go out into Manchester as much anymore and I felt harassed and controlled. I resent the fact that I have been forced to change my lifestyle.'
A friend said: 'Alexandra was in fear of her life. She didn't know what this man was capable of.'
Frightened: Alexandra Scarlett, whose face is pixelated to protect her, tried - but failed - to stop Smith contacting her
The internet hate campaign took place between November 2007 and March 2009 after Smith, of Newall Green, Manchester met Miss Scarlett in Pure nightclub in the city centre.
Louise Brandon, prosecuting, said: 'Miss Scarlet gave him her telephone number. That was the last the pair saw of each other.
'Following that night the defendant began calling and sending text messages to Miss Scarlet.
'In the follow week he began calling frequently, this could be up to 30 times in one day.
'After a week or two she asked him to stop calling her. After that she started to receive text messages saying that he was going to shoot her father.'
Miss Scarlett went to police but Smith then began posting 30 messages a week on her My Space page saying she was a 'slag.'
Miss Brandon added: 'He was saying he loved her and then calling her unkind names in the next message.
'He had sent her a message saying that if he found her he would slash her face, and that he was going to find her and kill her.
'She became frightened, she cancelled the MySpace and set up a new account but he found it. She shut it down again and made another and again he found it.
'He got hold of her new mobile number through a friend or family member on MySpace. He had begun speaking to them pretending to be her boyfriend.
'He also pretended to be her and sent her friends messages say that she was going to smash them up.
'She has blocked him from Facebook 40 times, but each time he has set up a new Facebook page and continued to contact her.
'In some messages he said that he loved her, she was convinced that they were all from the defendant and he was sending her text messages up to 30 times a day - some were violent.
'Through Facebook he sent messages threatening to rape her mother and her aunt.
'When Miss Scarlet moved out of the area he threatened to kill her. He called her a grass for telling the police and then said he was going to slash her face.'
When arrested in March 2009 Smith said he thought he had 'fallen in love' with Miss Scarlett and claimed she had been calling him too.
Alexander Leach, defending, said: 'The defendant has difficulty in grasping the full facts of this case.
'This was obviously a frightening and distressing period of the complainant's life.
'On the other hand Mr Smith is wrestling with the reality of what took place and his understanding of what took at the time. He saw what he thought was the beginning of a relationship.'

Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies (PlayStation 2) review
"After the gimmick-fest that was Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere, which also featured weak enemy AI, I thought it would've been crazy for Namco to repeat this mess on the follow-up, at least without some big enhancements. Mercifully, they instead decided to play it safe with the series' debut on the PlayStation 2, Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. How so? Well, they took the best AC game on the first PlayStation, Ace Combat 2, and expanded on its design and play mechanics. Why they didn't origin..."

I just recently posted a blog titled "Diminishing Solar Output will have little Impact on Greenhouse Warming". The blog is about a UK Met office paper which explains that solar output will likely diminish over the next 90 years, but that it will have little impact in offsetting the warming from greenhouse gas emissions.
Well, it appears that the UK's Daily Mail last Sunday published a misleading story about this paper and titled it "Forget Global Warming - it's Cycle 25 we need to worry about."
The Daily Mail's story by David Rose drew plenty of attention across the globe. The sad part is that the UK Met Office actually spoke to Mr. Rose about the paper before he wrote his article, so Mr. Rose had plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get the story right.
The UK Met Office was obviously not amused by the Daily Mail's version of the story and issued a press release noting the numerous errors in reporting.
Here is the link to the actual UK Met response.
Here are a few excerpts from the Met office response to the Daily Mail story.....
This (Daily Mail) article includes numerous errors in the reporting of published peer reviewed science undertaken by the Met Office Hadley Centre and for Mr. Rose to suggest that the latest global temperatures available show no warming in the last 15 years is entirely misleading.
Despite the Met Office having spoken to David Rose ahead of the publication of the story, he has chosen to not fully include the answers we gave him to questions around decadal projections produced by the Met Office or his belief that we have seen no warming since 1997.
Furthermore despite criticism of a paper published by the Met Office he chose not to ask us to respond to his misconceptions.
Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more of this type of "reporting" when it come to climate change science stories and occasionally it even goes to the opposite extreme as well.
Climate change indicators continue to show the impacts from a warming world.
Despite the rapid warming trend and resulting loss of permafrost, methane levels along Alaska's Arctic slope have been fairly stable over the past 29 years.
This year could challenge 2012 for the lowest sea ice extent minimum in the satellite record for the Arctic region.
Large portions of northern North America have experienced a greening trend over the past three decades.
New research explains why the Southern ocean surrounding Antarctica has not warmed like the rest of the world's oceans.
The warming influence of carbon dioxide has increased by 50 percent above pre-industrial levels during the past 25 years, according to NOAA.

Tustin puts lien on home destroyed in fire
TUSTIN – City officials are attempting to recover costs by putting a lien on a home that was destroyed in a fire in January.
Since the fire, the homeowner died and the city boarded up the vacant property at 1521 Lanai Way in Tustin because of the debris and fire damage.
City employees spent an estimated $16,545 on the home, boarding up entrances, adding a fence around the exterior and blocking a pool and spa, city reports state. Employees also spent time in court asking for permission to enter the property. The lien allows the city to recover the $16,545 during probate.
The house was very badly damaged during the blaze Jan. 4, city reports state. City officials requested the owner begin demolition or repairs by Feb. 24. City workers boarded up the property when the repairs had not begun by the deadline. The fences were necessary, officials said, because the home is near a school and flood-control channel, officials said.
Since then, a niece of homeowner Glenn Bouck has received a demolition permit from the city. Councilwoman Rebecca Gomez said the structures in city photos taken in October were no longer in place when she drove by the property recently.
"It was flat," Gomez said.
The Tustin City Council voted 5-0 to approve the lien at the Tuesday night meeting.

Time to reach for the bottle! Natural blonde Eva Green's light roots spoil her sleek gothic style at Dark Shadows premiere
It was supposed to be all about Johnny Depp, yet Eva Green's striking gothic style stole the show last night at the European premiere of Dark Shadows - but perhaps for the wrong reasons.
While the 31-year-old actress looked striking with blood red lips, smokey eyes and a ghostly complexion, it was clear Eva needed to reach for the bottle and dye her natural blonde hair.
The light roots were peeping through her side parting of the glamorous black mane.
Scroll down for video
Striking: Eva Green had gone all out with her vampish look - including a witchy navy velvet floor-length dress, blood red lips and a ghostly complexion - at the Dark Shadows European premiere in London
Vampish lady: The actress teamed a floor-length blue velvet gown with black heels and bright red lipstick
Green had gone all out with her vampish look, including a witchy navy velvet floor-length dress.
As she posed with her hands on her hip, Green made sure that the two bright gold cuffs she had worn stood out, and a pair of peep-toe heels could be seen underneath her dress.
In the upcoming film - which is directed by Tim Burton - Green plays Angelique Bouchard, a vengeful witch who plots a vendetta against Depp's character, Barnabas Collins and his family.
However, when asked what it was like to kiss her co-star Depp, Green simply replied: 'Not bad.'
Inspired: Green plays a witch in the upcoming film so no doubt this had an influence on her look tonight
Not feeling the cold: The French star didn't need a coat as she posed outside The Empire in London's Leicester Square
Clearly Green's role in the film gave her some great ideas for her dark look tonight, but someone who she could have taken tips from is queen of goth - Helena Bonham Carter.
The 45-year-old, who has been in a relationship with Burton since 2001, looked her usual quirky self as she arrived on the purple carpet wearing a striped ruffled dress that featured lots of black netting.
The dark-haired star teamed the long-sleeved garment with simple black heels and bright red lipstick and nail varnish.
As she posed with her partner - who was dressed entirely in black - she looked pleased to have once again collaborated with him on another one of his films.
Queen of gothic glamour: Helena Bonham Carter wore a striped ruffled dress that featured lots of black netting
Happy couple: The actress posed with her partner and director of the film Tim Burton
Wardrobe malfunction? The dark-haired star was spotted grabbing her chest
Someone else who looked pretty pleased to be there was Australian actress Bella Heathcote.
The 24-year-old brunette looked stunning in a knee-length backless gown that showed off her slender figure.
Heathcote teamed the black and navy ensemble with black strapped heels and minimal make-up.
The young star takes on two roles in the film: Victoria Winters, who is a governess, and also Josette du Pres.
Natural beauty: Bella Heathcote wore a black and navy lace dress to the event
Strike a pose: The Australian actress takes on two roles in the movie
Fooling around: Heathcote and Green were spotted laughing at a giant poster of the film
She was later spotted fooling around with Green as they posed by a large poster of Depp's character in the film.
Another actress who couldn't keep a smile off of her face was 15-year-old Chloë Moretz.
The teenager looked stunning in a dark red velvet dress which she wore with a chunky black waist belt and a 1980's red diamante ring by Susan Caplan.
The Kick-Ass star, who plays rebellious teenager Carolyn Stoddard in the film, wore her blonde hair in a loose wave and looked more than confident as she posed for photographs.
Teenage dream: Chloë Moretz looked stunning in a dark red velvet dress
Speaking to MailOnline, Moretz admitted that it was 'nerve-racking joining a cast that all know each other well,' but added that the stars had 'welcomed her like family.'
Her onscreen mother, Michelle Pfeiffer, also wore a dark red dress in the form of a strapless satin number.
The 54-year-old blonde wore her hair in a scrunched style and wore simple black patent stilettos.
The Batman Returns star the family matriarch in Dark Shadows, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, and was no doubt chuffed to have been reunited with Burton.
Lady in red: Michelle Pfeiffer looked fantastic in a strapless satin dress and black heels
Another star who looked cool, calm and collected in front of the camera was the main star of the film.
Dark Shadows is Depp's eighth collaboration with Burton, with the Edward Scissorhands star revealing that playing the role of vampire Barnabas Collins 'felt right' as he is a big fan of the television show - of which the film is based on.
The father-of-two opted for a monochrome look wearing a black and white blazer with black trousers and dark blue sunglasses.
Depp spent most of his time signing autographs and having his photo taken with fans who resorted to crying as they met the Hollywood star.
