Come celebrate the traditions and culture of the
Mid-Autumn Festival all over Hong Kong
Whether you're a born-and-raised Hong Kong kid, or a newbie to this bustling city, Mid-Autumn Festival is a great holiday to celebrate with the family! We've got the lowdown on the history, the festivities, and the food. Plus, a couple of ideas for fun things you can do over the long weekend, from indulging in mooncakes (we've listed our faves) to checking our the infamous Lantern Carnival with the whole clan, here's our Mid-Autumn Festival Guide for mamas in Hong Kong…
The History of the Mid-Autumn Festival…
Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most colourful and quaint events in Hong Kong, lighting up our city with bright lanterns, light shows and fiery dragon dances.
Traditionally celebrated as a Harvest Festival, this a long-held tradition dates back to the Tang dynasty (from around 600AD), and was traditionally a harvest festival. This occasion shared a dual function, as it meant that many family members working away from home had a chance to return home to their extended family for the holiday. At the time, people would gather to make offerings of food and drink to the moon Goddess, Chang'e, paying their respect, and giving thanks for the crops harvested during the year. Legend has it that Chang'e blesses her worshippers with beauty, so people lit lanterns in her honour (and to make sure that she could see them clearly from the sky).
Mid-Autumn Festival is all about light, so a household really wouldn't be complete without a fabulous lantern to guide the way. Historically, the lanterns were made from paper and lit with candles but nowadays they tend to be plastic, battery operated (safety first, right mamas?) and come in every shape and cartoon character you can think of. Beware that some come with electronic tunes that play non-stop!
Mid-Autumn is about being grateful for what you have, your relationships and your fortunes. A feel-good holiday, our favourite type!
The Family-Friendly Activities in store…
Throughout Hong Kong, you'll find lanterns strung about ready to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. As you may or may not know, Hong Kong is never one to shy away from celebrating local customs on a grand scale. There are several ways you can bring your family out to join in the revelry of this festival. Here are a few places you can check out!
The Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance
Touted as one of they most important events to check out over the holiday, this a definite one to cross off your check list for Mid-Autumn events around the city. The Fire Dragon Dance can be watched all over the city, but the one that draws the large crowds for it's liveliness, origin and reputation is found in the heart of Tai Hang village.
This traditional dance dates back to the 19th century when the villagers of Tai Hang village were dealing with catastrophe after catastrophe. From a raging typhoon, to an awful plague, to an alleged python eating their livestock… the Tai Hang villagers simply just couldn't get a break. To break the cycle of bad luck, a soothsayer said they needed to perform a fire dance for three days and three nights during the Mid-Autumn festival. So the villagers created a large dragon made out of straw and then covered it with incense to ward off the evil spirits. Along with loud fire crackers and drummers, the villagers danced for three days and truth be told, the plague ceased.
To this day, you can catch this fiery and smokey performance every year in the back streets of Tai Hang village. We're talking about 300 performers, 7,000 incense sticks and a 67 metre long dragon that will leave you in a wide-eyed trance! If your little one is not a fan of loud noises and the smoke, we would recommend you standing further away from Wun Sha Street. You can still see the wonderful spectacle but at a safe distance.

The Lowdown on the Mooncake…
You either love 'em or could do without 'em. Regardless, the entire Mid-Autumn festival revolves around having a sliver (or a quarter!) of this seasonal treat. Celebrated as a thanksgiving for the harvest, the main symbol of this season is the full moon represented in a mooncake. It is said that in the Yuan dynasty, mooncakes were used as a means to pass secret messages between revolutionaries. Well, many centuries later, the mooncake has evolved into an assortment of different tastes. Typically shared between the entire family after a special dinner gathering, the cakes are traditionally filled with a smooth but dense lotus seed paste encasing an entire egg yolk at the centre. An acquired taste for some, but once appreciated, you'll be wondering what you ever did without one!
But not to fret mama, if you're not a fan of the traditional mooncake as there are many different variations nowadays to suit the changing palettes of Hong Kongers. From decadent pure chocolate and praline ones to custard filled to the mochi and ice cream variety. You're bound to find one you'll like to share with the family and friends this holiday.
Here are our top three for this season:
Fook Lam Moon
The highly awarded Fook Lam Moon Restaurant is known for their famous traditional mooncakes. You can order their classics like the White Lotus Mooncakes and Golden Custard Mini Mooncakes, or try their signature Seaweed Sugar Lotus Mooncakes.

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. At Relief Dental, our mission is to help patients of all ages learn the right way to protect their smiles.
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health. During your routine six month check-up, our Tucker dentist will thoroughly examine the overall health of your smile, checking teeth and gums for signs of wear or decay. We'll take x-rays to gain an in-depth look of your dentition as a whole, and may recommend more comprehensive imaging if we identify an abnormality.
Regularly visiting our dentist in Tucker allows Dr. Washington to monitor changes to your smile over an extended period of time and make recommendations for treatment to prevent further damage from compromising your smile as a whole. Early diagnosis also helps our patients avoid serious and costly dental problems in the future.
We know that visiting the dentist can be a stressful experience for many patients, particularly for individuals who haven't had a dental cleaning in a long while. At Relief Dental, we prioritize your comfort and tailor dental care to your comfort level. Call our Tucker dental office today and schedule your next dental exam and cleaning - we look forward to seeing you smile.
I have been a patient at this practice for many years before its rebranding to Relief Dental. My visits have always been pleasurable and I have been satisfied with my treatments; however, with the arrival of Melvin Washington, DMD, things have gone from good to GREAT! Not only is Dr. Washington knowledgeable and highly skilled, he actually listens to your concerns and makes a conserted effort to meet your expectations. Equally important, he has excellent "chair-side manners" and puts you at ease by interacting with you as a person rather than just another patient. Furthermore, the staff at Relief Dental is friendly, professional and customer service focused. Everyone knows their role and they work together as a highly effective team. They are committed to helping you achieve your ideal smile and I am an example of that effort. Dr. Washington put me in braces for six months (I'm 68) which corrected some lower front teeth and the results are remarkable! Thank you Relief Dental!
Mike J.
Dr Washington and ALL staff are wonderful. They take the time to get to know you and your dental needs. Personally.....I don't like going to the dentist. In fact, it's probably one of my LEAST favorite things to do. 😂 The Relief Dental staff make the experience as close to delightful as possible. 😉

This review WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS and CAPSLOCK because I have so much to rant about.The first 100 or so pages of this book are good. Not particularly well written but the story is intriguing and there is some genuine emotion. I was moved when Rachel was re-apprehended by the Nazis because she fought so hard and became so ill, all for nothing, that it was tragic. More tragic than the situation with Michel if you ask me. I liked Sarah's chapters.Where this book fell absolutely flat to me was Julia and her 'plight'. But a few things I'd like to mention about the people around Julia first. Bertrand. I didn't understand why Julia claimed to love her husband and find him so charming but all she seemed to feel toward him was contempt and annoyance. And rightly so because he was an arrogant jerk!Julia's daughter Zoe was ...not a child. At all. I'm so sick of the wise-beyond-her-years kids. Sarah had a reason to be mature, Zoe was just badly characterized and a tired trope.Finally there's Julia herself. I really, really didn't like her. At first I just found her boring in a "Bleh, get back to the tragedy of human suffering!" way but as the story progressed and Sarah's chapters were dropped I began to find Julia, her problems, and her goals insufferable. So, ok, you're pregnant after 2 or 3 miscarriages and your husband doesn't want the kid. Yes, that's a problem and I was mildly curious how it would turn out. But then you decide not to go through with an abortion because this baby is the most important thing in your life. So you randomly fly from Paris to the USA.Then USA to Italy.In the matter of days.And then you feel a little annoying 'tug' and think nothing of it.WOMAN YOU HAVE HAD 3 MISCARRIAGES, YOU ARE IN YOUR MID 40'S AND ARE RANDOMLY GALLIVANTING ACROSS THE GLOBE GHOSTCHASEING BUT YOU CLAIM THIS BABY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU ARE A HORRIBLE, IRRESPONSIBLE, SELFISH PERSON AND A BAD MOTHER!Seriously?!Even all that aside, the amount of arrogant rich white woman hubris Julia has is revolting. Why should she dig up the past? What right had she? Obviously Sarah wanted to keep it behind her. Obviously she didn't want to burden her family with it, nor the Tezac's wish to remember the burden of it either.And then of course there was all this eternal monologue about how Julia "would always remember the tragic day they rounded up those Jews" and "She knew what it was like" because she wrote an article about it. That is just as bad as "I know what it's like to be in a wheelchair/blind/raped because I played one on TV".Finally, the writing. While the writing wasn't strong, I never really seemed to notice a problem with it until near the end. The word "Ironic" 4 times in 4 pages? Really? And it was "ironic" that you missed Paris after moving back to New York? No it wasn't! Remember near the beginning of the book Julia, where you said you had always loved Paris, more than in the romantic cliche way, but in all the other ways? You had always felt a tug and longing from and for Paris! You met your husband there, you had friends there, you had your daughter there, you had a good career there. Of COURSE you would miss it! There is nothing ironic about that!There was an awful lot of telling, not showing. One of the most blatant examples occurs after she almost has a miscarriage and is told to lie down and work from home. We're told that. And the time just zooms by! We don't get Julia's frustration at being bed-ridden, at her lingering pain or guilt that she almost caused the loss of a third or fourth child, or anything like that. Nope! "I remained horizontal while my 11 year old made me breakfast in bed for X amount of days."Am I supposed to be getting some sort of parallel from all this? How humanity hasn't change much since the Holocaust? That the problems of the upper-class are just as valid as the tragedy of thousands rounded up then carted off to death camps?You know what? I was going to give this book 2 stars but no. One. One star for Sarah and Rachel and Michel. No stars for the rest of this book.Now I'm off to watch the movie adaptation.

Photoshop is an easy tool to use and a difficult one to master, but help is at hand with our comprehensive list of tips, tricks and fixes for Adobe's showpiece software. Whether you're looking for tips on using layers, advice on mastering the pen tool, a guide to using RAW, or ways to improve your brush work, it's all here!
Most of these tips were originally published in Practical Photoshop magazine – now part of Digital Camera World. If you're a photographer, we recommend making DCW a rest stop on your travels around the web!
Here are the best Photoshop tips, whether you are using an older CS version or the very latest Creative Cloud software. We've grouped them by category to make it easier for you to find the stuff that's the most relevant to your work right now, but be sure to check them all!
Let's get started…
Hold down Alt to start a selection at the centre point with any Marquee tool, and then hold Space to temporarily move the selection around.
You probably know that Cmd/Ctrl+Z is Undo, but you may not knowCmd/Ctrl+Alt+Z lets you undo more than one history state.
Go to Edit>Preferences>Performance to change the number of History states up to a maximum of 1000. Beware though of the effect that this has on performance.
Shift + or – will cycle through different layer Blend Modes, so long as you don't have a tool that uses Blend Mode options settings.
Photoshop tips: Rotating Patterns
You can make amazing kaleidoscopic patterns with the help of a keyboard shortcut. Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Alt+T lets you duplicate a layer and repeat a transformation in one go. To demonstrate, we've made a narrow glowing shape by squeezing a lens flare effect, but you can use any shape, image or effect you like. First, make an initial rotation by pressing Cmd/Ctrl+T and turning slightly, then hit Enter to apply. Next, press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Alt+T repeatedly to create a pattern.
There's a really easy way to overlay an image on top of text. Drop an image layer over a type layer then hold down Alt and click the line between the two layers in the Layers Panel to clip the image to the text.
When zoomed in close, hold down H and drag in the image to instantly dart out to full screen then jump back to another area. One of the best Photoshop tips for viewing work!
Photoshop tips: Funky backgrounds
Want to change the default grey background to something more funky? Shift–click over the background area with the Paint Bucket tool to fill it with your foreground colour. Right-click it to go back to grey.
To close all of your documents at the same time, Shift-click any image window's close icon.
While using any tool, hold Cmd/Ctrl to temporarily switch to the Move tool. Release to go back to your original tool. Note that spring-loaded keyboard shortcuts work for other tool shortcuts, too.
For interactive zooming, hold Cmd/Ctrl+Space then drag right to zoom in, or left to zoom out. The zoom targets where your mouse icon is, so it's one of the quickest ways to navigate around an image.
Photoshop tips: Diffuse effects
The Diffuse Glow filter can give highlights a soft ethereal feel, especially when you combine the effect with desaturation. Hit D to reset colours then go toFilter>Distort> Diffuse Glow. Keep the effect fairly subtle, then go toImage>Adjustments>Hue/ Saturation and drop the saturation down to complete the dreamlike effect.
A: Copy Blue Channel
Photoshop tips: Copy Blue channel
Go to Window Channel then drag the Blue Channel to the New Channel icon to duplicate it. Hit Cmd/Ctrl+L to access Levels, then drag the white and black point sliders in dramatically to make the sky totally white and the land black. Now use the Brush tool and paint with black to tidy any bits in the land.
B: Load a selection
Photoshop tips: Load a selection
Hold Cmd/Ctrl and click the Blue Copy Channel to load a selection of the white areas. Click back on the RGB Channel then go to the Layers Panel and add a Curves Adjustment Layer. The selection is automatically turned into a mask. Drag down on the curve to darken the sky.

Mastering these shortcuts will help you work smarter, save time, and graduate to true Photoshop guru level! (These are tips 14–42.)
Next page: Tips for working with Layers
Converting a Layer Style to a normal pixel-based layer gives you greater control to edit the contents. To do so, add a style then right-click Effects and choose Create Layer.
If you're working with multiple layers and you want to view one layer on its own, there's no need to hide all the others manually, simply hold down Alt and click the Eye icon of a layer to make every other layer invisible. Hold down Alt and click again to reveal them.
After adding any Adjustment Layer, hit Cmd/Ctrl+I to invert the Layer Mask and quickly hide the effect, then paint back over the image with white to selectively reveal the adjustment.
You can move either a mask or an image independently of one another by clicking the link between the two thumbnails in the Layers Panel. Highlight the thumbnail you want to reposition, then grab the Move tool.
Hold down Alt and drag a mask, style or layer to
quickly duplicate it.
Double-click the Background Layer and hit OK to convert it to an editable layer
Always use Adjustment Layers rather than directly editing a layer. This gives you three advantages: you can edit it at any time, control the strength with Opacity, and use a mask to make it work selectively.
When using the Move tool, right-click over a point in the image for a list of all the layers you're hovering over.
The Layers Panel is the most important box in Photoshop, so you'll want to make sure it's set up properly for your needs. Choose Panel Options from the Fly-out menu to select different thumbnail sizes and content.
You can move layers up or down the stack in the Layers Panel while watching the image change. Hold down Cmd/Ctrl and press ] or [. Add in Shift to move a layer right to the top or bottom.
You can press Alt+Backspace to fill a layer or
selection with the Foreground colour, Cmd/Ctrl+Backspace to fill a layer or selection with the Background colour, or Shift+Backspace to quickly access the Fill Options.
A new layer filled with 50% grey is useful in lots of situations. For example, you can dodge and burn with it, add texture, or manipulate a Lens Flare effect, all in a completely non-destructive way. To create a 50% grey layer, make a new layer then go to Edit>Fill, then set the Blend Mode to Overlay.
Layer Groups are incredibly useful, but don't bother clicking on the Layer Group icon, as you'll have to add layers to the new group manually. Instead, you should highlight several layers and either drag them to this icon or alternatively hit Cmd/Ctrl+G.
To apply a change of font or size to multiple type layers at once, hold down Cmd/ Ctrl and click the layers in the Layers Panel to highlight them, then simply select the Type tool and change the settings in the Options Bar.
Hold down Alt and click a Layer Mask thumbnail to toggle between a view of the mask and the image. Hold down Shift and click to turn the mask on or off.
You can Alt-click on the Layer Mask icon to add a full mask that hides everything on the layer.
Hold down Cmd+Alt and drag any layer to instantly make a copy.
Use colour coding to organise your Layers Panel. Right-click over a layer's eye icon to quickly access 8 colour code choices.
To quickly select all layers of a similar kind, such as shape or type
layers, highlight one of them and then go to Select>Similar Layers.
When not using a painting tool, you can change layer Opacity
simply by pressing a number key. Hit 1 for 10%, 5 for 50%, and 0 for 100%.
You may be familiar with Color Range in the Select drop-down menu. But did you know that you can access a similar command through the Color Range button in the Masks Panel? (Window>Masks). This allows you to quickly make a mask by sampling colours, which can be used for making a quick spot colour effect.
A: Copy in the firePhotoshop tips: Copy in the fire
Open a portrait image and a generic fire image, then grab the Move tool and check Auto-Select Layer and Show Transform Controls. Drag the fire image into the girl image to copy it in, then change the Blend Mode of the layer toScreen.
B: Position and warpPhotoshop tips: Position and warp
Click the bounding box to transform the fire layer, then resize, rotate and position the layer. Right-click while in Transform mode and choose Warp to wrap the fire around the body. Hit Cmd/Ctrl+J to copy the fire layer and transform again to build up the effect.
Next page: Tips for mastering Photoshop's tools
Almost all tools have a contextual menu that's accessed with a simple right-click. This usually gives you the tool's major controls and a few handy shortcuts. As well as the tool you have active, where you right-click affects the menu, too. For example, a right-click over a layer thumbnail or mask thumbnail gives different options.
Being able to quickly and easily move around your image and
zoom in or out will speed up your workflow more than anything else. UseCmd/Ctrl and + to zoom in, Cmd/Ctrl and – to zoom out. Hold the space bar to temporarily access the Hand tool and drag around the image.
With any selection tool, hold Shift to add to an existing selection and Alt to subtract from it. Shift+Alt together allows you to intersect selections.
The Rectangular Marquee tool has a useful 'Style' setting in the Options Bar that lets you make a selection at a fixed ratio or size. This is helpful if you want to select a specific area to use as a wallpaper or for web pages.
You can transform a selection in just the same way as a layer. Just go toSelect>Transform Selection. Right-click to choose from familiar transform modes like Skew and Warp.
Cut and paste a selection to a new layer and Photoshop will place it in the middle of the screen. If you want to paste it to a new layer, but keep the position the same, use Cmd/Ctrl+X to cut and Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V to paste in place. Similarly, you should hold down Shift while dragging layers between documents with the Move tool to keep the same position.
Press Cmd/Ctrl+H to hide or reveal a selection's 'marching ants' line.Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+H does the same for a Path line.
Use the Cmd/Ctrl+click shortcut on any layer thumbnail, mask thumbnail, Channel or Path to load its shape or contents as a selection.
When using the Lasso tool, hold Alt then release the mouse
button to temporarily switch to the Polygonal Lasso tool.
If you're new to the Pen Tool, this is one of the best Photoshop tips out there! As a new user it can be frustrating when plotting anchor points, as often you're not entirely sure how your next curve will behave. There's a useful feature hidden in the Options Bar that can be a godsend for beginners. Click the 'Geometry options' drop-down (next to Auto Add/Delete) and check Rubber Band. Now, as you use the Pen tool you'll see an interactive preview of your next curve before you add it.
A little-known feature of the Crop tool allows you to hide, rather than delete cropped areas. To do this, you'll need to make the Background Layer editable first, so double-click it then hit OK. Next, grab the Crop tool and drag a crop window, then instead of applying the crop, check Hide in the Options. Now you can re-crop at any time by dragging outside the window to reveal the previously cropped areas.
Next page: Tips to help you master the Pen tool
When using the Pen tool, hold down Cmd/Ctrl to temporarily switch to theDirect Selection tool. This lets you move anchor points and control handles.
To add a point, hover over the existing path line and the Pen tool will automatically change to the Add Anchor Point tool.
Remove handles from a point and make it into a sharp angle by Alt-clicking over it.
Turn any active selection into a path by clicking the 'Make Workpath from Selection' icon at the bottom of the Paths Panel.
Add handles to a point by holding Alt then dragging outwards from the point.
Once you've made a path with the Pen tool, right-click for lots of options, including Make Selection, Fill Path and Stroke Path.
For a magnetic Pen tool that behaves just like the Magnetic Lasso tool, choose the Freeform Pen tool from the Tools Panel then check 'Magnetic' in the Options Bar.
Next page: Brush and painting tips
For tablet owners, Adobe Eazel is both fun and a serious painting tool. Finger-painted brush strokes have a fluidity that's difficult to create on a computer. Wireless transmission between tablet and Photoshop streamlines the painting process.
When using a non-circular brush, you may find the need to change the angle of the brush tip. To do this, click the Brush Panel in the Options Bar then highlight Brush Tip shape and drag the circle to change the angle of the brush. You can also flip it horizontally or vertically with the check boxes.
Clone around corners by rotating a clone source. To do so, use Shift+Alt+ < or >. It helps if you have Show Overlay checked in the Clone Source Panel, so that you can see the rotation.
The Bevel and Emboss filter is often used by digital painters to make brush strokes look like ridged layers of paint. Merge a copy of all the layers, then set the Blend Mode to Overlay and apply the Bevel and Emboss filter.
When using the Brush tool, hold down Alt and the right mouse button for a preview of the Brush tip's size and hardness. Drag down and up to increase or decrease hardness, and drag right or left to change the size.
Photoshop tips don't just come in the form of shortcuts. When painting, it's often easier to rotate the canvas rather than try to bend your wrist into an uncomfortable position. Just as a sketcher would angle a piece of paper, you can angle your canvas by holding down R then dragging it around. Release R and you'll flip back to your original tool. To revert back to normal, hold down R and click Reset View in the options.
Smudge painting is quick and immensely satisfying. To paint with the
Smudge tool, fill a layer with an off-white tone, duplicate the Background Layer and set it at the top of the stack, with Opacity at about 13%, then highlight the Smudge tool, check Sample All Layers, and start painting. It's that simple.
As a finishing touch, you can make your paintings look much more authentic by adding a paper texture. Copy a texture on top of your image, then experiment with Blend Modes and Opacity until you get the right effect. The Darken or Multiply modes will usually provide you with good results.
You can create a brush tip from any image you like. Simply convert to monochrome, then make a selection and go to Edit>Define Brush Preset. Only dark parts are recorded; any parts that are pure white aren't included in the brush tip. So if you want the shape of the brush to be clear, you need to isolate the object or shape against a white background.
If you want to turn a photo into a painting, adding sketch lines can make the effect look more realistic. To do so, duplicate your layer then go toFilter>Stylise>Glowing Edges, then invert the colours, desaturate and use the Darken or Multiply Blend Mode.
The Brush Panel is the control centre for hundreds, if not thousands, of different brush effects and settings. The best way to find out how it works is to grab the Brush tool, choose a colour, open a new document and start painting. You can take this further by trying painting on different layers and using different Blend Modes, or adding Layer Style effects to your painted layer.
A: Set up the BrushPhotoshop tips: Set up the brush
Load up a generic portrait image and then load the Square Brushes from the Brush Picker drop-down menu.
Select a square brush, then open the Brush Panel and use these settings: Brush tip shape: Spacing 631%. Shape Dynamics: Size, Angle, Roundness Jitter – all 100%. Scattering: Scatter 638%, Count Jitter 50%. Colour Dynamics: Foreground/ Background Jitter 20%, Saturation Jitter 20%. Brightness 30%.
B: Paint mask and coloursPhotoshop tips: Paint mask and colours
Use the Lasso tool to select the girl then hit Shift+Backspace and choose Fill: Content-Aware. Hold down Alt and click the Add Layer Mask icon then set Foreground colour to white and paint on the mask over the girl to hide parts of the body. Next, add a new empty layer and hold down Alt to sample colours from the girl, then paint to add coloured fragments. Add a second new layer, paint larger strokes, then blur slightly with Filter>Gaussian Blur.
Next page: Get precise with colour and lines
To draw a straight line with the Brush tool, hold down Shift and then click two points.
With the Brush tool selected, hold down Alt and click to sample a
colour and then set it as your Foreground colour.
Press Caps Lock to switch your cursor to a crosshair.
Use , and . to cycle left or right through the brushes in the Brush Preset Picker.
When painting with the Burn tool, you can hold down Alt to switch

As you probably know, the ] and [ bracket keys change your brush size, but you can also use Shift+ ] or [ to change the brush hardness.
When using the Brush tool, press any number between 0 and 9 and the Brush Opacity will set to it. 1 for 10%, 9 for 90%, 0 for 100%. Press Shift and a number to adjust Flow.
Next page: Do more with Adobe Camera Raw and Bridge
The following Photoshops tips focus on Camera Raw. To quickly batch process a group of images, open them all in ACR (the easiest way to do this is through Adobe Bridge) and then click Select All. Now, any changes you make to one image will be applied to all the open files.
Hold down Shift in ACR and the Open Image button switches to Open Object. Now the file opens as a Smart Object, which means you can double-click the layer thumbnail in Photoshop to go back and edit the layer in ACR.
The Masking slider in the Detail Panel lets you control which areas of an image are sharpened, but it's impossible to judge unless you hold down Alt as you drag. This displays a greyscale view, in which black areas are protected from sharpening, enabling you to isolate the sharpening to edge areas.
Double-click any slider to reset it to 0. If you click once, then the slider jumps to the point you're over. So if you keep the mouse still, you can single-click, thendouble-click over a point for a quick 'before and after' view of any adjustment you've made.
Square crops can help to make your images stand out from the crowd. For a list of different crop ratios, hold down the mouse button over the Crop tool. Remember, like everything else in ACR, cropping is non- destructive, so you can try out different ratios and adjust the crop at any time.
It's always best to adjust exposure before you move on to colour correction.
The Adjustment Brush is perfect for selective toning in ACR. The brush works by setting pins, each linked to a painted mask that specifies the area you want to tweak. You'll need to view the mask when painting, and hide it when using the sliders to adjust the area. Hit Y to switch the view of the mask on or off.
When painting with the Adjustment Brush, hold down Alt to erase parts of the mask.
Deep blacks give an image extra punch, so it's okay to clip the blacks a little. For deep blacks, drag the Black point slider inwards while holding down Alt until a few dark spots appear.
Hold down A and drag a line to straighten your images.
Hold down Alt while dragging the Exposure, Blacks or Recovery slider to see any clipped pixels, or click the icons at the top right and left of the histogram to see them all the time.
Make the most of your screen size by hitting F to switch the ACR display to Full Screen Mode.
Looking for Photoshop tips to view images in interesting ways? Look no further. All you need to do is hit Cmd/Ctrl+B to see your images in a snazzy 3D carousel. Scroll through the images with the left and right arrow keys and hit down to remove an image from the view.
You can copy ACR treatments from one file to another in Bridge. Right-click any file with the circular ACR icon, then go to Develop Settings>Copy Settings.Right-click another file (or hold down Cmd/Ctrl and click to select more than one) then choose Paste settings.
Stacks can help you keep your workspace tidy and easier to navigate by grouping similar images together. Select a group of files (hold down Shift and click the first and last) then go to Stacks>Group as Stack.
Raw files open automatically into ACR, but you can open JPEGs and TIFFs, too, by right-clicking them and choosing 'Open in Camera Raw', or simply hitCmd/Ctrl+R.
You can load a group of images into layers of a single document by going toTools> Photoshop>Load Files into Photoshop Layers.
A: Make a cone-shaped curvePhotoshop tips: Make a cone-shaped curve
Open an image in ACR, then click the Tone Curve Panel. Drag all the points off the curve to delete them, then make one single point in the middle. Drag this down, then drag the bottom left of the curve to line up to the top, making an inverted cone shape.
B: Convert to monoPhotoshop tips: Convert to mono
Click the HSL/Greyscale Panel and check 'Convert to Black and White'. Use the sliders to tweak the black and white conversion. If you want to add some colour, go to Split Toning and adjust the sliders to add colour to the shadows and highlights. One of the top mono Photoshop tips!

One of my greatest childhood discoveries was being able to pick up one of the local television stations on my FM radio. I was soon hooking up to my father's cassette recorder to tape my favourite sitcoms. (We only had 60-minute tapes, and so recording movies was way too much trouble.)
This was my first taste of being to replay a show (even though I only had the sound), and to re-live the emotions from when I first saw it. Admittedly this was the late 70s/early 80s, and back the emotional scenes were about as subtle as a sledgehammer. But it still amazed me that I could feel happy or sad at the push of a button. To me, it was a bit like magic.
Years later, when I moved out of home and got my very own VCR (my parents didn't get one until my final year of high school) I recorded hundreds of movies. Most of them got played once before I recorded over them with another show. And some didn't even make it past the first scene before being overwritten.
But every so often I'd record a movie that made me feel happy, sad, heroic, romantic, etc. When that happened I'd quickly pull the tab on the video cassette so I couldn't tape over it. (Well, not easily. Anyone else do the sticky-tape trick when they couldn't find a blank tape?) And if I ever felt down I'd just put the tape in, press 'Play', and by the time the show was over I'd be feeling a lot better. Again, magic.
These days I do most of my movie-watching on DVD, which means I no longer have to worry about tapes wearing out. (And believe me, a few of them did.) It also means I longer have to watch the entire movie to get that wave of emotion washing over me. Sometimes it's a particular scene that does it for me, and now I can go straight to it.
Sometimes it doesn't work that way. Sometimes you need everything that comes before the scene for it to have the full effect. But sometimes a scene can stand alone, and it's all you need to see for the magic to happen.
The good news is I can now put these movies on my iPhone, and with a few taps I can make the magic happen wherever I go.
So if you see me sitting somewhere looking at my phone with my headphones on and a huge grin on my face, don't worry.
I'm just enjoying a little bit of magic.

How to Feel Amazing During and After Pregnancy
Tips For Trainers // September 19, 2017
It's curious that one of the most incredible miracles the human body can do wreaks so much physical havoc. I'm talking about pregnancy. Yes, an amazing little creature emerges that parents instantly fall in love with, but the poor mother spends the next several years mending her body.
Thankfully, the GYROTONIC® Method exists to help handle the physical changes of pregnancy, strengthen the body more quickly afterwards, and provide much needed, gentle movement throughout.
Below are some suggestions for maximizing Gyrotonic exercises and principles during this time. Always consult with your physician for specific exercises guidelines for your pregnancy.
Among the many benefits to moving during pregnancy include decreased back pain and constipation and possibly a lower risk of gestational diabetes. The American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists suggests 150 minutes weekly of moderate aerobic activity, which could include Gyrotonic sessions.
However, it's also important to avoid a sudden increase in intensity during pregnancy. This relates to the number of times per week you exercise, as well as level of the exercise, speed, number of repetitions, and weight provided either for support or resistance.
A former client who described herself as a life-long athlete and avid exerciser said that:
"Gyro is the one method that enabled me to stay active because it gently and safely opened up my body and connective tissue while making me feel lighter, even during those last few weeks. Don't be fooled: It's definitely a lot of work!!! Even post-natal, it's a perfect balance to my normal high intensity workouts like running and barre."
2. Plan your trimesters wisely
Trimester #1
Core: Until a client starts to show, there are no specific contraindications to movement, so this is a great time to focus on comfortable abdominal and spine strengthening exercises. It will be more challenging to strengthen these muscles later on. It's also optimal to stretch the abs as well to help ready the area for the upcoming expansion.
Breathing: This is also a good opportunity to start working on diaphragmatic breathing, specifically by expanding the rib cage posteriorly and laterally during inhalation and feeling the transverse abs connect on exhalation.
Pelvic Floor: The concept of "narrowing" and training the pelvic floor to be elastic are also key and easier to feel during this time.
Flexibility: Relaxin secretion peaks for the first time during the 1st trimester, so it is particularly important to watch out for overstretching. New clients may want to work in a comfortable range, while existing clients may want to be mindful of their pre-pregnancy ranges. Continue being mindful of ranges throughout the trimesters.
Trimester #2
Modifying Movements: You may want to start modifying ranges of motions and movements. Avoid prone and supine positions. Use yoga mats, pillows, cushions, and the green wedge to help adjust the supine incline. Try to limit supine hamstrings to 15 minutes or less or before you feel discomfort.
Special Points: When doing the supine hamstring series, allow the legs to turn out as needed and try to keep the legs from going too low or too high as these may strain the back. Also, remember to avoid overstretching through all three semesters of pregnancy.
Coming Off the Bench: To help roll off the bench gently, stools can be placed on the side of the bench to offer more support for coming upright via the side.
Trimester #3
Adjust Exercises and Length: The goal is to keep moving as much as comfortably possible and continue to work on breathing, which will help with labor. It may be helpful to do shorter, more frequent sessions, i.e. thirty minutes four times per week instead of two hour-long sessions.
3. Listen to Your Body
Every women experiences pregnancy and the post-partum period differently. It's important to respect your unique challenges and enjoy the times when you do feel well. If an exercise doesn't feel comfortable, you probably shouldn't do it.
Personally, I felt dizzy and nauseous when lying down during my first trimester, but I also was able to resume moderate activity quicker after giving birth.
4. Work Back Slowly
It takes about 40 weeks to grow and deliver a human being, so expect the road back to pre-pregnancy strength to take at least equally long.
While it might be tempting to jump right into intense activity to lose "baby weight," it is also important to regain core and pelvic floor strength. Heavily modified Gyrokinesis exercises can be a quick home routine to start from as soon as one is cleared for movement, and Gyrotonic concepts can effectively rebuild the neuromuscular connections that might have been lost. For example, the idea of "pulling up the vagina" rather than "trying to not to pee" can be a more effective cue to engage the pelvic floor.
Another client commented,
"With simple prompts she helped me regain muscle tone that had been lost since the birth of my son almost 10 years earlier. I do the simple exercises she suggested daily and have seen a world of difference in both my pelvic floor and lower abdominal tone."
If you listen to your body and work with your physician to determine the appropriate exercise intensity/contraindications, Gyrotonic exercises can be a great way to stay more mobile and stronger during and after pregnancy.
Note: Many of these tips were inspired or taken from the Gyrotonic Applications for Pre and Post Natal Program taught by the late and great Leda Franklin. For fun, inflate a balloon and place it under your shirt to simulate the size of being pregnant.

Is there still a pre and post natal program being taught?
Hi, Kendra. There is currently a course being developed. We will announce it when it's approved and ready, so stay tuned. Be sure to follow us on Facebook to keep up with our ongoing announcements!
Ahhh <3 I did the Gyrotonic Application for Pre and Post Natal Program taught by the late and great and dear friend, Leda Franklin ..Thanks for posting Nina… One point I would like to mention.. for those of us who had built up restrictions and asymmetry through our sport in the body, pregnancy can be a great time to address these with the relaxin present … my son's head was stuck in the right side of my pelvis …due to my right hip and pelvis restrictions, I had to have a C-section ..I had an inkling that this was the case but only discovered this when I started doing Gyrotonic a few yeas later ..so of course I have sorted it out now ..
Thank you for your insights, Fiona!

The pink plate is really pretty.... Appeals to my inner Nanna!ReplyDelete
The photo you took of that pink plate is brilliant. I think if you took the photo straight on filling the whole frame , it would be like a gorgeous shiny pink gerbra or zinnia and you could frame it for your little girl's room.ReplyDelete
The apron is very cute too, and frankly if you don't see A Current Affair sniffing around, you are not yet in scary hoarder territory. If your kids can only weave a tiny well worn path through your house due to piles of stuff, perhaps a small alarm bell should be sounding.
Great idea Bungalowgirl! A Farmers Wife - it's funny, I used to sell this type of glass because I didn't find it appealing (now I keep it). My inner Nana is alive and well.ReplyDelete

Thousands of users are using our software to conquer their algebra homework. Here are some of their experiences:
Thank you so much Algebrator, you saved me this year, I was afraid to fail at Algebra class, but u saved me with your step by step solving equations, am thankful.
The first time I used this tool I was surprised to see each and every step explained for each equation I entered. No other software I tried comes even close.
Algebrator is a great product. I love how easy it is to use, and how easy it makes algebra seem.
My husband has been using the software since he went back to school a few months ago. Hes been out of college for over 10 years so he was very rusty with his math skills. A teacher friend of ours suggested the program since she uses it to teach her students fractions. Mike has been doing well in his two math classes. Thank you!
Our algebra helper software helps many people overcome their fear of algebra. Here are a few selected keywords used today to access our site:

When the US House of Representatives unanimously backed measures to re-authorize the Federal Helium Program at the end of September, in many respects it was a case of crisis averted. For the helium business and end-users alike, it brings an element of conclusion to a storyline in the making for some time. The market is able to take a step back from the edge of the 'Helium Cliff'.
September 25, 2013 was almost a momentous day; the US House of Representatives passed the resolution that would suspend its procedural rules and adopt the Senate version of legislation, to thereby re-authorize the Federal Helium Program, a vote unanimously in favor at 367 - 0.
This eliminated the need for a conference committee, as both the House and Senate had backed the Bill and all that remained was a journey to the White House for President Obama's signature. The long hoped for Helium Stewardship Act of 2013 is, in effect, now law and the industry's access to one of the world's biggest sources of helium - the BLM-operated Federal Helium Reserve in Texas - is secure for the immediate future.
There had been fears that the Federal Helium Reserve would stop selling commercial helium this October (7th) as it would have technically paid off the Federal Helium Program's debt and funding was not provided for to take it beyond that point - a move that would have cut access to half of the domestic (US) supply and caused significant disruption to a helium supply chain that continues to experience supply shortages.
With no new legislation in place for this resource, and the possibility that funding for the BLM's helium program would run out at the end of 2013's third quarter, it had been feared that up to 4 BCF per year of capacity linked to the BLM Pipeline could be at risk.
The passing of the Act is, therefore, a major development in the helium business, providing continued stable access to the taxpayer-owned helium supplies while industry commissions and continues to develop new helium supplies. SGR understands the BLM program will continue to offer helium from the stored reserves, albeit under different terms, until it reaches the strategic level of 3 BSCF, at which time the BLM will only sell to Federal Helium Users.
Work to do?
The news appears to have been met with widespread satisfaction from some of the biggest names in the gases industry. Air Products, Praxair, Inc. and Linde North America have all been quick to issue statements to this effect.
But the work doesn't end with President Obama's signature on the Bill, however. In fact, it is the start of a considerable deal of work to be done in the rulemaking. SGR understands there is a great deal more discussion to be had concerning the terms and intent of the legislation. The rulemaking process itself means that there are still several stages of the document to be thrashed out; the legislative language needs to be clarified via drafting of regulatory language consistent with the legislative intent and there is room for both interpretation and negotiation.
SGR understands there is a great deal more discussion to be had concerning the terms and intent of the legislation.
There are also thought to be several 'flaws' in the draft Bill, with potentially difficult issues including the process for determining the price for crude helium sold from the Federal Reserve, price auction mechanisms for crude helium sold via auction, and clarifying the cost and availability of third-party tolling of crude helium by the helium refiners. Much of the doubt or debate in this area is derived from the current language of the Bill; the intent is to provide greater access to the Federal Helium Reserve for non-refiners so that the stockpile is no longer the private reserve of four companies. The tolling language, however, is currently considered vague. With this in mind, there will likely be continued maneuvering between the helium refiners and non-refiners in the coming months as they seek to exert their influence on the implementation of the legislation.
Activity has also begun within the US House of Representatives' Committee on Natural Resources to develop a second helium bill. While this bill is primarily intended to address existing bottlenecks which slow the development of new helium sources on federal lands, it could also be a vehicle for fixing some flaws in HR 527.
With the passing of the Helium Stewardship Act (HSA), there will be continued stable access to the taxpayer-owned helium supplies while industry starts-up and continues to develop new helium supplies. Speaking of which, IACX Energy has reportedly commenced helium production and sales from a new facility at the Harley Dome in Utah. The facility is the first helium-only application to extract the rare gas from federal lands and is IACX's third helium plant.
But neither the Harley Dome project or the passing of the HSA is the end of a currently tight helium market. Shortages still exist around the world; the start of production from new sources in Qatar, Algeria and the US is thought to have either been delayed or is ramping up slower than anticipated. Even with new legislation in place, there is no escaping the fact that the Federal Helium Reserve is slowly depleting - its current security merely averts an even bigger crisis in the global market.
All projections point to growth in the MRI market, learn more:

Happiness is a Warm Puppy, the classic Peanuts gift book, seems to resurface fairly regularly. Coming around Christmastime – in fact, listed as shipping the day before Christmas, and thus to late to actually get it by Christmas – is an edition from yet another publisher. This time, it's coming out as part of the Penguin Workshop brand… this is an imprint intended specifically for those 12 and under. Certainly, the book was not specifically targeted at that age range; like Peanuts itself, it was something that would be readable by them but more fully grasped by more mature folk. But if the kids want to read it, there ain't nothin' wrong with that. It will be available as both a physical book and an e-book.
The same publisher is simultaneously rereleasing another volume in that gift book series, Love is Walking Hand in Hand.

The morning after my first night in a boarding school, I heard what sounded like rain splashing on the tiles right outside my door. "Ah beautiful rain" I thought. I desperately wanted to go see it, but I was in the peak of my illness and couldn't find the energy to move.
Eventually, I moved out from that room and settled in a room further away from the typical dorms. It was a classroom of a public school, nestled within the boarding school, that was used to house guests who could no longer be accommodated in the dormitory. It was after settling in that room that I learned that my first morning at the boarding school wasn't met by the sound of rain but rather by the pitter-pattering feet of many little girls heading to class.
Having never lived in a boarding school before and then having a bedroom in the midst of classrooms, it fascinated me how school and boarding co-existed. My schedule was different than everyone else's which afforded me a couple more hours of much-needed sleep in the mornings before I had to get to my one-hour long class for the day. By the time I returned, break time was over for the little girls and the walk back to my room was often marked by candy, chocolate, and chip wrappers strewn across the floor.
It became a habit for me to greet the two sisters who were responsible for cleaning up this mess, and often I would apologize to one as I continuously neglected to greet her with proper respect by using the plural form of address "Kayfa haalukum?" as opposed to the singular form which I was more accustomed to using "Kayfa haaluki?" She would always respond with a forgiving smile. Our conversations were usually quite simple because my Arabic is too weak and her Arabic is much too dialectal for me to have had much hope of understanding her words without taking up a lot of her time and patience (though I'm sure she had plenty in the patience department, masha'Allah).
There aren't many things that bothered me about life in Yemen, but litter was certainly an exception. Six days a week these ladies cleaned the school of garbage that could have been easily placed in a garbage bin by the guilty litter bugs. But it seemed not to bother others much, and thoughts of this type were definitely a part of my "Western baggage" that I needed to deal with.
One Western sister advised that the untidy garbage is problematic for us because it reflects a diseased condition of the spiritual heart and soul both of which need to be purified. I imagine some might want to challenge her words, but she's absolutely right. I suppose the first counter-response would be that cleanliness is an essential part of our deen. Sah, it is... but being personally bothered by the less-than-desirable habits of others is not.
For one to be able to clean the filth of others, in my opinion, points to some admirable characteristics of the soul.
I remember once when I returned from class and headed to the sinks to make wudhu. There I was met by, as you can imagine, the repulsive sight and stench of one sink clogged with vomit. When I returned much later, it was cleaned up, most likely by none other than one of the two sisters who I often greeted.
My respect for them is great, and I love them for the sake of Allah. In my eyes, they have hearts of gold and the way that they carried themselves is well worth reflecting upon. It's reasonable to expect that we may never meet again in this life, and I may never have the opportunity to thank them and to tell them how special I think they are. I suppose even if I did get such a chance, they wouldn't easily accept my words as true, such is their humility and bashfulness. May Allah unite us in Jannah, ameen.
I pray that one day we can be among the internally purified, and I pray that Allah blesses them and the many others like them with goodness in this world and the next. Ameen.

Opening Night Butterflies
- October 20, 2015
It's beginning to feel like that time of year again. We've got excel sheets and guest lists, programme schedules and catalogue designs, press releases and posters- all the multiple strands that make up a festival- running through our heads.
It's hard to sleep at night, between the adrenaline and check-lists, so we lie awake in our beds as the clock ticks us closer to November.
We know you're tired of waiting too. It's difficult, with a programme this good, to be patient. But you must. We all must.
But don't be morose. Because we have something to announce. There's a buzz around DIFF…something fluttering enticingly in the air…
So try and control your excitement, as we announce the Opening Night film for the 4th edition of the Dharamshala International Film Festival! Titli will officially inaugurate the festival on 5 November, and director Kanu Behl and actor Ranvir Shorey will be present to introduce the film.
The film follows Titli, the youngest member of a violent car-jacking brotherhood, as he plots a desperate bid to escape the 'family' business. Behl's directorial debut takes on patriarchy and the entrenched family system, breaking new ground in Indian cinema. Official Selection at Cannes 2014 and Winner of the Best Film Award at the South Asian International Film Festival in New York, Titli promises to be an unforgettable film.
What are you waiting for? Register here for passes… or else.

Hey guys! So last week I made a post about the Prada sunglasses I purchased whilst in Mexico. I also mentioned I got a second pair (it was 25% off your 2nd pair don't judge) so I opted for these lovely D&G sunglasses. I actually picked these ones up first because they were more of a classic pair the red on the Prada ones scared me a little as I usually don't go for colour on sunglasses. I think these are a lovely animal print alternative to a classic black cat eye sunglass.
These sunglasses sit so lightly on the face that I barely notice they're there until I try to scratch my eyeball or something and end up whacking my sunnies. The fact that they are lightweight can also be dangerous as you may not feel them slipping off your face if you're doing something. I asked the cashier at the store to tighten up the arms of the sunglasses so they can sit tight on my head that way I know they won't slide off easily. Unless I'm surfing or something… that's another story.
I love how the cheetah print on these glasses doesn't go all the way around the frame. I'm very cautious of animal print as I feel it can very easily turn tacky and cheap looking. But this is just the right amount and the colour of the print is so dark on these glasses that the effect really is quite subtle. The hard cheetah half black adds a little quirky detail which I really love about these.
On the arms the "Dolce & Gabbana" logo is printed in full which I much preferred to the other sunglasses which just said DG in bigger typography. I feel the petite logo works really well and looks a lot more feminine on the glasses.
The dark lenses work fabulously in the sun and do really well to protect my eyes against the sun. I like how simple the lenses are and feel that this really compliments the cheetah print. A colourful lens would have drawn attention away from the animal print frame which wouldn't be as nice.
I love these just as much as my Prada ones! I'll also be taking these to L.A for the more sunnier times. What do you think about the D&G glasses? Are they something you'd buy? Do you prefer them to the Prada ones or do the Prada sunglasses hold a special place in your heart?
Also the reason I'm pale as fuck in these photos is I used a powder with Silica which makes you look super pasty on photos. Oops.

"Crossing Over" will make you weep, but not for the reasons its makers intended. Forced, heavy-handed and overdone, it's a pretend serious film that offers crass manipulation in the place where honesty is supposed to be.
Written, directed and co-produced by Wayne Kramer, "Crossing Over" has designs on dealing seriously with the problems of immigration, on showing how the desperation to get legal in this country leads to a damaged system that corrupts almost everything it touches.
But instead of anything commendable, "Crossing Over" stands in a long line of exploitation melodramas that just want to get a rise out of audiences, a film that uses its nominal issue as an excuse to put thuggish violence, lecherous nudity and crude profanity on screen. And that makes the film sound a lot more entertaining than it is.
That's because, following in the footsteps of "Crash" and "Babel," "Crossing Over" is also in the grip of a terrible earnestness, the conviction that its conventional dialogue and contrived scenarios are actually telling us something worth knowing. As if.
Like those two films, "Crossing Over" is a multi-strand story that moves from vignette to vignette, introducing numerous characters who star in their own mini-dramas, each one faker and more obvious than the last, as well as occasionally interacting with the folks in other episodes. The film is set in Los Angeles, and its use of aerial shots to move from neighborhood to neighborhood is so widespread it threatens to cause airsickness.
Harrison Ford is "Crossing Over's" biggest star, and it's his Max Brogan we meet first. A lonely agent for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE for short) whose only companions are the animals on the Nature Channel, Brogan has been on the job so long he's gone native. "Everything is a humanitarian crisis to you," an exasperated co-worker snaps at him, and soon enough Brogan becomes concerned about the small boy left behind when his factory worker mother (Alice Braga) is nabbed in an ICE raid.
Ford gives "Crossing Over's" most effective performance, and Max Brogan's story is not as bad as the others, but it's downhill from there. Brogan's ICE partner Hamid (Cliff Curtis) is originally from Iran, but his American-born sister Zahra (Melody Khazae) doesn't want to act like women from the old country, and that causes all kinds of family tensions.
Ditto for 15-year-old Taslima (Summer Bishil), whose passionate classroom tirade pleading for understanding for the Sept. 11 bombers leads to problems for her and her parents, illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Also causing family difficulties is a young Korean boy (Justin Chon) who hangs with local gangbangers.
Wait, we're not done. Ashley Judd plays a compassionate immigration defense attorney whose husband, Cole (Ray Liotta), works the other side of the street, adjudicating green card applications for the government.
Another couple of sorts is wannabe Brit rocker Gavin (Jim Sturgess) and his sometime girlfriend, aspiring Aussie actress Claire (Alice Eve), who'll do anything (and I mean anything) to get a green card. One of the film's more maddening bits of business is its old-school sexist insistence that women who are desperate enough to allow themselves to be horribly sexually exploited have commited a greater sin and need to be punished much more severely than men who blithely lie. What a world.
This is pretty much business as usual for "Crossing Over," which has a weakness for bludgeoning emotional responses out of viewers, as well as a tendency to sound more promising than it is because of the caliber of the name actors involved.
Maybe those performers didn't focus on the exploitative nature of the film's persistent sex and violence, maybe they ignored the banality of the proceedings and were seduced by the possibility of being in a film that said something worthwhile about an important national issue. "Crossing Over," a project that diminishes everything it touches, is nowhere near that film.
'Crossing Over'
MPAA rating: R for pervasive language, some strong violence and sexuality/nudity

Christian Bale won't be charged in an alleged assault on his mother and sister, in part because they didn't want to press the matter but also for lack of sufficient evidence, prosecutors said Thursday.
Britain's Crown Prosecution Service ordered police not to take any further action, saying there was insufficient evidence to make a conviction realistic.
The service said in a statement that it treats domestic incidents seriously but feels it's important "that the views of complainants are also taken into account when making decisions in such cases."
Bale, who denies the allegation, said through his spokeswoman, Jennifer Allen, that he was relieved the issue had been settled. The actor "hopes to put the matter firmly behind him" and will be providing no further comment, Allen said in a statement released by Bale's lawyers.
His family had previously declined to comment, saying the issue was a personal matter.
British media had reported that Bale's mother and sister told police he assaulted them at his suite at the luxury Dorchester Hotel on July 20, a day before he attended the European premiere of his film "The Dark Knight." Bale has denied the accusation.

AUDITION & PERFORMANCE LOCATION Dempster Park Hall, 82 Phoenix St Sunshine, VICTORIA
CAST: 5 W – 1 role is Lolita plus 4 others work as a Greek chorus with interchanging/cross cutting words/sentences, a great acting challenge and similar to my 2009 What's the Matter with Maryjane? OAP that did very well on the OAP festival circuit.
CAST AGE: approx. to look mid 20s-early 30s – need to look like you went to school together – nationality is irrelevant and open to all.

SYNOPSIS: Slut is a play with a central character, Lolita, and a chorus of young women who watch her rise and final devastating fall. Only girls get called sluts. No, sometimes boys get called sluts but it's like the biggest compliment. And sometimes girls try to own it. A girl might say, 'Yeah, I'm a slut, and I love it.' But in the end she'll be worn down by it. It's a no-win situation to be a slut no matter how much a girl thinks her life's her own and she can do whatever she wants. A slut's a slut. One young woman described it as being like a bag to piss in. Lolita is the queen of sluts. And she puts in an almighty fight to maintain her reign. Eventually she is hauled mercilessly from her throne.
