Synopsis :

SON OF RAMBOW is the name of the home movie made by two little boys with a big video camera and even bigger ambitions. Set on a long English summer in the early 80′s, SON OF RAMBOW is a comedy about friendship, faith and the tough business of growing up. We see the story through the eyes of Will, the eldest son of a fatherless Plymouth Brethren family. The Brethren regard themselves as God’s ‘chosen ones’ and their strict moral code means that Will has never been allowed to mix with the other ‘worldlies,’ listen to music or watch TV, until he finds himself caught up in the extraordinary world of Lee Carter, the school terror and maker of bizarre home movies. Carter exposes Will to a pirate copy of Rambo: First Blood and from that moment Will’s mind is blown wide open and he’s easily convinced to be the stuntman in Lee Carters’ diabolical home movie. Will’s imaginative little brain is not only given chance to flourish in the world of film making, but is also very handy when it comes to dreaming up elaborate schemes to keep his partnership with Lee Carter a secret from the Brethren community. Will and Carter’s complete disregard for consequences and innocent ambition means that the process of making their film is a glorious rollercoaster that eventually leads to true friendship. They start to make a name for themselves at school as movie makers but when popularity descends on them in the form of the Pied Piper-esque French exchange student, Didier Revol, their unique friendship and their precious film are pushed, quite literally, to breaking point

My Comment :

This movie was so great! I laughed out loud for the whole time! =p I thought it was a brilliant yet hilarious comedy/drama. It`s funnier and dramatic than Juno ( 2007 ). I was impressed with the two young unknown leads. It has something for everyone;  laughter, emotion, friendship and nostalgic material from the 80`s.  It is a must watch!!

Catch-22

Size : 1.53mb

A monumental artifact of contemporary American literature, almost as assured of longevity as the statues on Easter Island…Catch-22 is a novel that reminds us once again of all that we have taken for granted in our world and should not, the madness we try not to bother and notice, the deceptions and falsehoods we lack the will to try to distinguish from truth.

“Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. “Be very still,” he whispered, as if I wasn’t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat.”
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because–he’s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel.
Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward’s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst.
The precision and delicacy of Meyer’s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up)

“Shoot,” I muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then. Edward threw himself at me, flinging me back across the table… I tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with my arms thrown out instinctively to catch my fall, into the jagged shards of glass. I felt the searing, stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside my elbow. Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm-into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.

Legions of readers entranced by Twilight are hungry for more and they won’t be disappointed. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. The “star-crossed” lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy’s reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality. bella is SO positive that edward is the man/vampire for her.

New Moon.pdf

Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer’s riveting vampire love saga. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

Breaking Dawn

(The Twilight Saga, Book 4)

When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.

Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella’s life-first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse-seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed… forever?

The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

What its all about

It`s as simple as a flick of the switch

This year, earth hour has been transformed into the world`s first global election, between earth and global warming. For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is the vote for Earth and leaving them on is a vote for global warming.

WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference at Copenhagen 2009. This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, San Fransisco, Rome`s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 million people switching off their lights as part of global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you`re from, but instead, what planet you`re from. VOTE EARTH is global call to action for every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up and take control of the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH  during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of our planet for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

A health boosting diet doesn`t have to equal exotic and expensive. If you want glossy hair, gorgeous skin and sharper brain, it`s the everyday food that count. Every month, a new superfood hits the headlines and get added to our Things To Eat To Make Us Feel Good list. But what exactly is a superfood?

A superfood gives you `added value` – it benefit your body above and beyond giving you the nutrients you need. It has no significant vitamin and mineral content but it`s an amazing food for women because it contains a mild, natural diuretic which helps to reduce water retention and bloating just before their period.

So, how do you know the right ones to choose? Just remember 2 things ; 1) The colour – the more richly coloured a fruit or vegetable, the more antioxidants it probably have [ antioxidants help keep your body`s cells in good condition ]. 2 ) Don`t go exotic when it comes to superfoods. Goji berries might be the superfood du jour, but they will cost more than blackberries and raspberries. So, with that in mind, here are Top 10 everyday superfoods …….

1 ) GARLIC

There is evidence tah garlic is good for the heart. Studies have shown that  eating garlic can have beneficial effect in  lowering blood cholesterol levels. Garlic has anti- fungal properties too. If you haveathlete`s foot, you can speed up you recovery by using garlic in a foot soak. Just get some warm water, add two crushed cloves and two tablespoon of cider vinegar, and bathe your feet.

2 ) BEETROOT

It is thought to have anti – cancer properties, but this hasn`t be proven yet. What we do know is that it increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood – so it`s great for helping to alleviate fatigue. Don`t go for the pickled variety, look for fresh beetroot and try to have it at least twice a week ; roasted, raw, grated or in soup.

3 ) TOMATOES

Packed with vitamin C, they`re great for your tissue and boosting your immune system. Aim to eat eight ripe tomatoes a day. There are four in a teaspoon of puree and two in a dollop of ketchup. If you buy whole tomatoes, choose sun – ripened ones. Lots of tomatoes are picked when  they`re green and ripened artificially. They won`t give you the lycopene benefits ( a caratinoid that acts as an antioxidant ) because lycopene only develops on the 11th of the tomato being in the sun.

4 ) RADISHES

These are full of vitamin C. Plus they`re  packed with potassium, which is good for the heart, and folic acid which is vital for pregnant women because it helps prevent a foetus from developing  spinal problems like spina bifida. And they`re also very good for the stomach and the liver because they help stimulate the production of bile, which we need to digest fats. Six radishes a – day – or two big handfuls a week – would be great for you.

5 ) APPLES

The proverb should be `two apples a day keeps the doctor away`because a study has shown that the pectin – the fibre in those two apples – can lower your cholesterol by 10% in three weeks. French research found that just the smells of apples was enough to bring down people`s blood pressure. ( So if your boss is driving you mad, sneak off for an apple break. ) Apples with deep red skins and pinky flesh contain more betacarotene, which converts into vitamin A in your body, and helps look after your skin, while sourish green apples contain more vitamin C.

6 ) SPINACH

This is really good for you. It`s full of folic acid and contains vitamins A, C and E ( an antioxidant ). Spinach also contains compounds called lutein and zeaxanthine. These are vital for protecting your eyes against age – related macular degeneration ( AMD ; an eye disease that leads to reduced vision. ) In a major American study, following 100,000 women over 60 years, the womenwhohad regularly eaten  spinach  or chard or kale had 50% less chance of contracting AMD than the women who had`nt.

7 ) BLACKBERRIES

Another richsource of vitamin C. Blackberries also contain anthocyanins, compounds that have antioxidant properties. There is some evidence that they help protect against cancer and cardiovaskular disease, althoughmore research is still needed in humans.

8 ) CABBAGE

Otherwise known as the medicine of the poor. It`s full of vitamins and minerals and glucosinolates, which has anti – cancer properties. Everyone should try and eat some form of cabbage – sprouts, kale, broccoli, coleslaw – everyday.

9 ) NUTS AND SEEDS

Containing dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids ( which are vital for our immune and nervous systems ), nuts are packed with goodness. There`s also evidence that they can help protect against heart disease. Walnuts are the best for that. They contain monounsaturated fatty acids, which help the body get rid of cholesterol. Try and have a handful everyday.

10 ) OILY FISH

You should aim to eat four portions of fish a week. Of those, at least two should be oily fish like mackerel, herring, kippers or sardines. They contain essential fatty acids and lots of Vitamin D. Without Vitamin D in the body, women can`t absorb calcium, which is vital for strong bones. Oily fish also contains important minerals like iodine, which helps the thyroid work properly. Without it you`ll feel tired and even depressed.

Buying a new perfume isn`t always as simple as it sounds. These tips will help you on how to select and wear a scent for maximum effect.

SPOILT FOR CHOICE

When choosing a fragrance, the most important thing is that you like the smell and that it makes you feel happy, self – confident and attractive. When you feel that way about the scent you are wearing, you know you`ve made the right choice.

You can simplify perfume buying by learning by learning about various perfume “families”. Perfume consultants always spray a floral, green and an oriental, but they don`t use these terms to the customer. Instead, they describe the smell and then let the customer compare them. You`ll be drawn more to one type. No master perfumer would smell just one perfume. We always compare.

SHOPPING FOR YOUR SCENT

When you first pick up a bottle of perfume, you need to do 2 things :

1 ) Smell the fragrance on a blotter – which will give you the chance to know if the top notes fit into what   your looking for ( citrus, fruity, floral, green, woody, spicy )

2 ) Once you like the top notes ( your first impression of the scent ), apply the perfume on your pulse points to learn more about the middle and base notes.

Building up : A scent is composed of top, bottom and middle notes or smells. Most perfumers create the bottom first, then the middle, and finally they finish with the top. The reason the scent is constructed this way is for it to have a firm foundation or base, so the top notes will last. Each essential oil or perfume has three notes.

The bottom notes are the last things we smell about a scent – it takes about 2 hours to smell the base or bottom notes – and these notes last the longest. The bottom notes are very sensual, and normally made up of woody notes ( cedarwood, sandalwood. patchouli and oakmoss ). Other base notes are leather and amber-based such as vanilla, tonka, peru balsam and tolu balsam ). Some include spices, such as clove, cinnamon and ginger.

The middle notes are what we smell between 30 minutes and two hours. These notes provide the richness and body of a fragrance. They are heavier than top notes and remain on the skin longer, providing a more personalized scent. They range from spicy notes ( nutmeg, pepper, clove, ginger ), to fruity ( pineapple, apple, pear, blueberry, banana ).

The top notes of scents are mainly what we smell during the first 30 minutes, which is why they need to have energy and smell very fresh and exciting, because they vanish quickly. As you wear the scent, the top note starts vanishing within minutes, but never dissapears completely. Top notes are usually either volatile citrus notes ( bergamot, lemon, mandarin, grapefruit ), green notes ( galbanum, grass, cut leaves ), aromatic notes ( lavender, rosemary, thyme, sage ) or, fruity notes ( kiwi, apple, pineapple, raspberry ). One trend now is to have watery notes in the top note, as well as champagne, chocolate and coffee notes.

SEDUCTIVE TOUCHES

Here are a few ways to max the power of your perfume :

* Scent your sheets, pillowcase, and even your lacey bras and undies.

* After showering. forget your usual moisturiser, and go for a scented body cream

* Spray the air before you walk through it. At lunchtime, spritz pulse points ( where the heat will bring out scent ). For evening, spray the scent above your hairbrush and whisk the brush lightly through air before going out ( works great to mask smells like smoke ).

* Spritz a cottonball with sexy fragrance and tuck it inside your bra, or evening purse for a sensual surprise.

* Use scented candles, and find fragrance emitting rings that fit over lightbulbs.
