'Till My Heartaches End' Starring Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson Showing on October 27
Kimerald topbill a new romantic movie offering of Star Cinema titled "Till My Heartaches End" under the direction of Jose Javier Reyes who took over the directorial job from Laurenti Dyogi.
It's Kim and Gerald's second movie this 2010 and becomes the only loveteam who have 2 movies this year.
The first was the Star Cinema's 2010 opener "Paano Na Kaya", which was a boxoffice success and is so far the 5th Top-grossing Pinoy film this year.
"Till My Heartaches End", which opens October 27, is Kim's 3rd movie in less than a year, after "I Love You Goodbye" shown in December 2009 and "Paano Na Kaya" last January.
Here is the plot outline of "Till My Heartaches End":
Paolo "Powie" Barredo (Gerald Anderson) is out to prove to the world that he is not just a son out of wedlock, but that he can succeed in life independently. Though he started out roughly, he soon picked up pace and climbed the ladder of success. But as things started falling into place, other important things in his life had to take a backseat as he experienced the thrill of finally achieving his goal.
Agnes Garcia (Kim Chiu) has always longed for the time when her family will finally be complete again. At the young age of 6, her parents left the country to work abroad – her mother was a medical technician in America, while her father worked as an engineer n Riyadh. Despite the distance, Agnes held tight to the inevitability that she will reunite with her parents once again when she passes the nursing exam and applies to work in the States.
The moment these two saw each other at the café, they couldn't take their eyes off each other. Their attraction was apparent and it seemed that destiny brought them together. As they got to know the other better, they found solace and comfort in each other's company. But the security they found in each other soon started to shake when their different life paths take them to different directions. Despite the love they both still have for each other, one must choose to decide when to let go, even if the other is still holding on.
Mark Herras Webcam Scandal Photos Leaked!
Read below Ogie Diaz' report related to Mark Herras' webcam scandal (Oh My G!):
HINDI NA KAILANGAN pang i-blind item kung sino ang diumano'y guwapong young actor na may webcam scandal. Magmumukha lang kaming tanga, dahil kalat na kalat na sa mga networking sites.
Nalaman namin ito sa twitter. Tinatanong kami kung totoong si Mark Herras ba 'yong nakipag-chat at ipinakita pa raw ni Mark ang "ari" nito sa webcam.
Kung ito nga at kung kumpirmado ngang si Mark ito? Ba't niya 'to nagawa? Sino ang kanyang ka-chat para makumbinsi siyang ipakita ang kanyang ari?
Uulitin namin, kung si Mark nga ito (na gusto pa rin naming maniwalang hindi siya ito), titili ang mga bading ng, "Nakakalokah! Daks pala siya, huh! Above average. At least, hindi naman siya dyutay!"
SA PINOYEXCHANGE.COM, BINASA namin ang lahat ng pahina ng forum na may titulong "Mark Herras, totoo ba 'to?" at doon ay paulit-ulit na pino-post ng mga respondents ang dalawang screen shots kung saan kita ang half body ni Mark na hindi maikakailang si Mark Herras nga.
Sa ibabang bahagi naman ay naka-close-up na sa "naghuhumindig na ari" ang webcam na halatang tinatakam ni Mark-daw ang ka-chat.
Ang oras ng kanilang chatting na nasa webcam si Mark-daw ay 1:54. Siguro, madaling-araw na ito. May Korean writings sa ilang task bar sa ilalim (na siyempre, di namin kayang basahin), kaya feeling namin, ang ka-chat ni Mark-daw ay nasa internet cafe na pag-aari ng Korean.
Ayon sa isang computer expert na nakausap namin, "Mahirap i-photoshop 'yung picture na kita 'yung ari, dahil 'yung background nu'ng Mark-daw sa first two photos ay 'yun din ang background nu'ng ipinokus ang ari niya.
"Yung sa oras naman sa third photo, ito 'yung kita 'yung ari na, sa screen sa extreme right, 2:11 'yung nakarehistro. Pareho nu'ng sa box nu'ng webcam, so hindi siya basta ipinatong lang doon.
"Lumalabas na lalaki 'yung ka-chat nu'ng Mark-daw, dahil sa conversation nila, ang sabi ni Mark-daw sa ka-chat, 'Di ka gumagalaw Dude!' Na sinagot naman ng ka-chat na 'W8 naghang lang pc,' At 'yung naka-webcam din na kausap ni Mark-daw ay lalaking nakahubad sa extreme right (na baka nagpakita rin ng pagkalalaki).
"May intensiyon 'yung ka-chat na ikalat 'yung kanilang supposedly private chatting nila ni Mark-daw, dahil initiman nu'ng guy ang name niya. At nagtagumpay siya."
BAGO ITO AY tinawagan namin sa kanyang celfone si Mark Herras at ikinuwento sa kanya 'yung kumalat sa twitter at pex, "Ano 'yon? Hindi ko alam 'yon. Ikaw lang nagsabi sa akin.
"Saan daw kuha 'yon? Kelan daw kuha 'yon? Matagal na?"
"Hindi ko alam, eh. Pero parang ngayong taon lang, eh." (Nakalagay sa webcam ang petsang April 8, 2010.)
"Baka 'yan lang 'yung dati pa. Ewan ko. Itse-check ko din!"
"Sana nga, hindi ikaw, pero 'yung pusod mong parang singkit, ikinumpara ko sa ibang photos mo, pareho, eh!"
"Sige, itse-check ko. Babalikan kita. Ite-text kita."
Na hindi na nangyari.
Pero according to Gorgy Rula, nakausap nito si Mark at ang sabi lang daw nito na natatawa ay, "Hindi ako 'yon. Ang galing naman nilang mag-imbento!"
KUNG ALAM NI Mark Herras sa kanyang sarili na siya 'yon, pero wala siyang choice, kundi idenay ito, tama lang ang kanyang desisyon.
Imagine, kung aamin siya, eh, 'di ang next question ay, "Ba't mo nagawa 'yon?" at hindi lang 'yon, meron pang isa: "Ba't hindi babae ang ka-chat mo? Ba't lalaki?"
Sa pinoyexchange.com nga ay ipinapalagay ng ibang respondents doon sa forum na "silahis" o "bisexual" si Mark. Pati ang kanyang mga friends sa Facebook, ang comment ng isa, questionable ang gender.
NOVEMBER 13, 2007 nang Ininterbyu ni John Lapus sa Showbiz Central sa segment nitong "Don't Tell A Lie" si Mark kung saan ipinaskel pa sa pex ang bahagi ng interbyu ni John dito.
JOHN: Mark, isa kang certified techie. Oo, madalas ko 'tong nakikita sa mga internet cafes. Mahusay itong mag-computer. At ayon sa makakating dila, kadalasan ka raw inuumaga sa pagtsa-chat.
Ang gusto kong malaman ngayon, Mark Herras, ay totoo ba na mahilig ka raw magpakita ng katawan sa ka-chat mo sa webcam. Naghuhubad ka pa raw ng t-shirt. Aba'y topless ito. Mark Herras, don't lie to me, yes or no?
MARK: No.
JOHN: O, Mark, papano 'yan? Lie ang lumabas. Baka naman nainitan ka minsan at hinubad mo?
MARK: Hindi. Unang-una kasi, ba't naman ako maghuhubad sa harap ng webcam kung ganito kaliit ang katawan ko?
JOHN: Sa bahay, wala kang webcam, wala kang computer, ha?
MARK: I have a computer, pero hindi ako gumagamit ng webcam at nagtsa-chat. Alam ng mga tao kung sino ang gumagamit niyan. Ako, addict ako sa mga games.
Isinulat namin ito, hindi dahil gusto naming ilagay sa kahihiyan si Mark Herras. Kung hindi talaga siya ito, sana nga at ma-karma sana ang gumagawa nito.
Isa rin itong babala sa mga artistang pinagpaguran ang kanilang pangalan, pero kung minsan, pag "nasa totoong buhay na" ay nakakalimutan nilang maaaring magamit ang kanilang pangalan, dangal, katawan sa hindi magandang paraan.
Sa araw-araw na pagbabago ng teknolohiya ngayon, lalo tayong mag-iingat, dahil sa isang iglap lang, maaari itong mawala, dahil lang sa ating "kapabayaan" o ang pagbibigay ng pahintulot sa ibang tao na tayo ay bastusin at hiyain.
According to Nadia Montenegro Mark just laughed off the said scandal and says it was not him, and even said "palpak ang pagka-edit, d lng mn inayos".
Lolit Solis says "Kung totoo aminin!, Kung hinde eh dedma na lng", Lolit also say if bongga or not, when tell bongga she says "lalo nilang pagnasaan si Mark nyan".
But even before Mark personally breaks his silence on the issue, some online users have already been showing proofs that he is indeed the guy in the webcam photos.
The alleged webcam scandal
Allegedly, the lookalike and Mark Herras have exactly the same "balbas" and "bigote":
Same sando daw according to PEX user Mam Wilma.
Another PEX user, TriciarELLAs, also makes a comparison of Mark's "pusod" and "puson" with that of the webcam guy...
As well as the same wall/background on the cam and a picture inside Mark's home.
A certain "Pandesal" at Pinoy Parazzi commented a link to this picture and he/she took notice of the same necklace.
Even a video about Mark's home posted on Youtube last year has been reposted on Facebook. Jham Santillan posted it on his Facebook wall and said, "watch the video and compare the ceiling, the walls, the edges of the frames, the electric fan, you be the judge on the video scandal..."
Now, you tell me...is he or is he not the guy on the webcam scandal?

Manny Pacquiao, Dyan Castillejo and Piolo Pascual Will Lead 'Run for the Pasig River' this 10-10-10
Pacquiao, who is in the middle of his training for a November bout, will show his support for the river clean-up of ABS-CBN Foundations' Kapit Bisig Para Sa Ilog Pasig by hosting the pre-race program at the starting line along Ayala Avenue. The boxing champ will be joined by ABS-CBN senior sports correspondent Dyan Castillejo and actor Piolo Pascual. All three will run the 10k race thereafter.
Comedienne Pokwang of Pilipinas Win na Win! and Umagang Kay Ganda anchor Winnie Cordero, on the other hand, will entertain the runners at the 3k starting line in SM Mall of Asia grounds.
At the 5k starting point in CCP Complex, ABS-CBN Foundation managing director Gina Lopez will host the program while Bro. Mike Velarde will do the invocation. Internationally-acclaimed director Brillante Mendoza, who directed the public service announcements for KBPIP, will run in the 5k category.
Former President Fidel V. Ramos will fire the gun at the 3k starting point to signal the start of all the races.
After the simultaneous running event, a post-race program will be held in SM MOA featuring ABS-CBN stars Rhap Salazar, Luis Manzano, Jovit Baldivino, Karylle, Melai Cantiveros, Jason Francisco, and Studio 23 hosts Juddah Paolo, Aaron Atayde, and Angel Aquino.
ABS-CBN Chairman Eugenio Lopez III will also take part in the fun run, which aims to raise funds for the cleaning of Estero San Miguel, a tributary of the Pasig River.
In 2009, KBPIP successfully began dredging operations in another tributary, Estero de Paco, and relocated 1,200 informal settlers to Calauan, where they are given free shelter and livelihood through ABS-CBN Foundation's BayaniJuan.
"10.10.10 A Run for the Pasig River" hopes to break the Guinness World Record for the most participants in a footrace set by San Francisco's "Bay to Breakers" race in 1988.
With the participation of Pacquiao, Piolo, and other celebrities, KBPIP hopes to inspire more Filipinos to take part in saving the Pasig River.
Court Decides to Defer Judgment on ABS-CBN's Request to Issue TRO Against Willie Revillame; ABS-CBN Issues Statement
In this regard, ABS-CBN released an official statement regarding the foregoing:
ABS-CBN's application for TRO has been submitted for resolution of the Judge, who ordered both parties to file all pleadings by Oct. 15, after which he shall decide on the application.
ABS-CBN reiterates that the issue on Willie Revillame is all about honoring a contract. To the Kapamilya network, it is the ethical and right thing to do. It is a noble act of a person who values honesty and integrity.
So when Willie chose to ignore his contract with ABS-CBN, we were left with no choice but to ask the court to intervene. We have not been negligent in reminding Willie about his contract obligations and when he asked for the rescission of his contract, ABS-CBN chose to apply for a TRO and fight for what is right and honorable."
TV5 has announced that Willie Revillame is launching his new show on the Kapatid network entitled "Willing Wille" this coming October 23.
This prompted the Kapamilya network to ask the Quezon City RTC to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) and a writ of preliminary injunction to stop Revillame "from committing further violations to his contract with the network" by launching his new show.

Imortal opens with Angel Locsin, as Lyka, protecting her daughter from a group of vampires. She turns into a werewolf and starts attacking every bloodsuckers who attempt to kill her daughter. Unfortunately, she gets outnumbered and was badly injured. A group of werewolves come to the rescue but its too late.
Then the next scene narrates how vampires came to shore in the 1500s. Known as the Bampiras, their menace quickly spread throughout the land. But a powerful clan also lived in the islands, a group of beings who can transform themselves into powerful wolves – the Taong Lobos. The Taong Lobos were the humans' protectors and they immediately formed an army to destroy the vampires. The blood drinkers were no match to the Taong Lobos because a bite from these creatures is fatal for them.
Angel Locsin once again assumes the character of a she-wolf as she brings life to the character of Lia, the daughter of Lyka. John Lloyd Cruz, on the other hand, will portray the role of Mateo, a vampire who will be attracted to Lia.
With the foreseen battle between the Bampiras and the Taong Lobos, we got the hint that Mateo (a vampire) and Lia (a werewolf) will find themselves drawn to each other. They come from rival clans but they will still fall in love despite their opposing nature.

Mariel Rodriguez vs. KC, Toni, Vice Ganda, Anne and Luis. So, Who is Telling The Truth?
4. Toni Gonzaga. Sa lahat ng mga taong nakaalitan ni Mariel, kay Toni Gonzaga raw siya talaga nasasaktan dahil malalim ang kanilang pinagsamahan. Hindi lang sila naging magkatrabaho sa maraming Kapamilya shows kundi naging matalik pang magkaibigan.
Matatandang naunang nagsabi si Toni ng sama ng loob niya kay Mariel sa presscon ng Kokey@Ako. Hindi man idinetalye ni Toni noon ang ugat ng pinag-awayan nila ni Mariel, ayon sa mga naisulat na bali-balita ay may sinabi diumano si Mariel na ikinasama ng loob ni Toni.
Pakiramdam daw ni Toni ay na-betray siya. Dinamdam ito ni Mariel at sinabing never siyang nag-traydor sa kanyang mga kaibigan.
Hirit ni Mariel: "Gusto kong maalala yung friendship namin ni Toni for how it was. Pinapahalagahan ko ang mga kaibigan ko. Marunong akong mag-value ng kaibigan. I never said I was perfect but I know in my heart and I'm sure lahat ng mga naging kaibigan ko at mga kaibigan ko, alam nila na ni minsan wala akong kaibigan na trinaydor. I've been a good friend."
May mensahe pa si Mariel kay Toni: "Toni was like a sister to me. I'm not here para makipag-away. I'm here to entertain people, to spread peace, love and happiness. That's my message for Toni... love and happiness."
Buwelta ni Toni: Absent sa The Buzz si Toni last week nang ipalabas ang interview kay Mariel, kaya kahapon lang siya nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na magsalita.
Ani Toni, "I guess siguro para sa akin, once and for all, a lot has been said and done. Marami na ang naisulat, marami na ang nagbigay ng opinyon, marami na ang nag-pass ng judgment.
"Sa lahat ng mga taong na-involve, pinili na nina Anne, Luis, Vice na huwag nang magsalita pa kasi mas lalaki pa, mas marami pang taong mai-involve, masasaktan.
"Siguro one thing that I would take away from this whole experience is that I learned so much about the guys in the industry, about friendships. And that's one thing siguro na babaunin ko siguro yung mga natutuhan ko dito sa mga naranasan ko."
Makahulagan naman ang naging pahayag ni Toni, nang mapadako ang usapan nila kung nakapag-usap ba sila ni Mariel.
"Okay yung confrontation, e, okay yung diretsahan, e. Pero ang hirap at hindi ka mananalo kapag ang kausap mo ay hindi na nagsasabi ng totoo. You will lose in an argument pag ang kalaban mo ay hindi na nagiging totoo sa iyo," sabi niya.
Tila may patama pa si Toni kay Mariel sa mga sunod pa niyang sinabi:
"This will serve as a lesson not just for me but for everyone watching. Bakit nangyayari lahat at the same time? Bakit sunud-sunod?
"Because what you sow is what you reap. Yun ang sana baunin nating lahat na kung ano yung tinanim mo kasi, magbubunga 'yan, e."
"Because I want peace. Naniniwala ako na bigyan lang kayo ng oras, magkakaayos kayo. Hanggang ngayon, 'yan ang paniniwala ko. Because ang pinakagrabe sa problemang ito ay it was you, Toni, and Mariel because you were closest.
"Sabi ko nga, ang hirap sumali sa problema na hindi ka naman talaga kasali. So, I was talking about my position.
"So, when Mariel said it was the last time she will talk about it, ako sinasabi ko with hope and a prayer na sana down the road, really one day, lalambot ang lahat, mapag-uusapan, mapagtatawanan.
"And Toni is right, we will remember our learnings."

Past to Present: 11 Women Who Couldn't Resist Robin Padilla
Jobelle Salvador
Robin and Jobelle Salvador met on the set of his indie film "Carnap King" in 1989. That started a love affair that brought forth a son, Jeremiah Joseph Leroy Salvador, now 19 years old. Based in the US, he was named after his grandpa, the late filmmaker Leroy Salvador.
Despite the attribution to Robin as Jeremiah's dad, the identity of the boy's father was the subject of a puzzle--was it Robin (a.k.a. Binoe) or Jobelle's former boyfriend, broadcaster-writer-actor Erik Espina? Salvador did not confirm anything publicly and even Erik, as a matter of fact, had requested for a DNA test, which has not reportedly been done to date.
Leah Orosa
Robin and Leah Orosa were paired off in Viva Films' "Sa Diyos Lang Ako Susuko". Then sprung a love story between the young Casanova and the mestiza model. The liaison bore them a daughter, Camille, who now lives with Orosa abroad.
Kris Aquino
It was Pinoy showbiz news icon, the late Inday Badiday, who introduced Robin and Kris Aquino to each other. It was a colorful romance. Kris was 18 when Robin, then in his early 20s, became her boyfriend. Rumor had it that the two had planned to elope. They eventually broke up because Robin was still in his "unstable" stage back then. In 2003, Kris and Robin made a movie whose title described their former relationship, You and Me Against the World. In 2003, Robin and Kris teamed up on TV for ABS-CBN's "Basta't Kasama Kita."
Melissa Perez-Rubio
What did Melissa Perez-Rubio, Kris Aquino and Sharon Cuneta have in common? Robin, of course, and Richard Gomez (a.k.a. Goma), too. All three women became the girlfriends of Robin and Richard.
Sharon Cuneta
Robin and Sharon Cuneta fell in love on the set of Viva Films' "Maging Sino Ka Man" in 1994. Binoe and Goma were rivals in the heart of Sharon. They were rivals too, in popularity, and were each other's nemesis. They even physically punched each other because of their love interests.
Liezl Sycangco
Robin and Liezl Sycangco were married in Muslim wedding rites in 1996 at the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa where Padilla was incarcerated for illegal possession of firearms. Everyone thought Robin and Liezl's union would last. In 2008, however, the two called it quits officially. They have 4 children.
Vina Morales
Robin and Vina Morales's love story is said to be the most sensational. It was the very first time Morales ever fell in love. The two first met when they did the movie "Miss na Miss Kita: Ang Utol Kong Hoodlum 2."
Ruffa Gutierrez
It was again Inday Badiday who introduced Robin to a lady love, this time, beauty queen-host Ruffa Gutierrez. They were paired off in Badiday's film production of "Lab Kita, Bilib Ka Ba?" (1994). Unfortunately, there were several obstacles that kept them from getting any closer. For starters, Ruffa's mom Anabelle Rama wasn't exactly into Robin. That was also the same year that Robin got arrested. Still, rumor had it that he had gone as far as proposing to Ruffa.
Dolly Anne Carvajal
The public went gaga when Dolly Anne, the daughter of Inday Badiday, revealed that she had hooked up with Robin. While Robin was mum about the issue, Dolly Anne has been more forthcoming. In an article by showbiz writer Chit Ramos, Dolly Anne was asked what is was like to be with Robin. She replied, "Kailangan pa bang itanong 'yon? Marami namang nakarelasyon niya ang nagsasabi ng sinabi ko. Tinatrato [kang] reyna, iyon 'yon." When asked to elaborate, Dolly Anne revealed that Robin was a tireless lover.
Judy Ann Santos
When Robin and Judy Ann starred in the ABS-CBN action-drama teleserye Basta't Kasama Kita, which aired in 2003, it wasn't long before they were rumored to be together. However, showbiz pundits who were sympathetic to Judy Ann's plight, said there was nothing going on between them. In fact, Boy Abunda wrote in his Philippine Star column: "Judy Ann Santos is being forcibly dragged into the marital imbroglio of Robin Padilla and wife Liezel Sicangco, now based in Queensland, Australia with their four children. This is grossly unfair for Juday, who to my mind is one of the most hardworking actors in showbiz."
Mariel Rodriguez
TV host Mariel Rodriguez is Robin's latest conquest despite a 17-year age gap. They met this year on the set of ABS-CBN's noontime TV show "Wowowee." He married Rodriguez in India last August after a whirlwind courtship.

Associate WERC faculty Aaron Dotson discusses organic contamination of surface water from snow dumps during snow melt.
Friday Seminar Series
- What: Snow Dumps: Where Urban Snow Goes to Melt
- Who: Aaron D. Dotson, UAA-Civil Engineering & UAF-WERC Associate
- When: 3:30-4:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 7
- Where: Duckering 531
Snow scavenges organic contaminants from the atmosphere and has been shown to retain a variety of contaminants. Concentrated release of organic contaminants during onset of melting due to interstitial melting suggests an immediate transfer of organic contaminants from snow pack to surface water via storm drainages. Urban environments in climates with extended periods of snow such as Alaska, Maine, Minnesota, Canada, and Northern Europe therefore may experience organic contamination of surface water during snowmelt. This talk will present the past two years of results on a multidimensional assessment of concentration and changes of organic contaminants, specifically 1H-benzotriazole (BT) and its methylated forms 4- and 5-methyl 1H-benzotriazole (tolyltriazole TT) during snowmelt in an urban creek that passes through Anchorage, Alaska and discharges into Cook Inlet and in multiple snow dump sites. Measured concentrations of BT and TT are comparable to those in streams passing through larger industrial Cities in Eur ope and TT peak concentrations are even higher than those previously determined in streams in the U.S. The talk will provide insight into the role of the engineered urban ecosystem on the capture and storage of the organics present in these snow facilities using bulk data measurements such as dissolved organic carbon, ultraviolet absorbance and fluorescence.

The controversy over the use of nanoparticles in everyday cosmetics has been going on for a while now. At best, the evidence is inconclusive - it is too early to say whether there is a risk or not. Regulators have no specific research findings to act on. Cosmetic firms of course claim that their products are safe and comply with all the relevant laws and regulations. On the other hand, they fight tooth and nail to have to label their products containing synthetic nanoparticles. The cosmetic industry's stance is even more perplexing given the common sense approach that regulators are taking.Posted: Oct 30th, 2007
Liquid crystal displays (LCD) have become an integral part of our everyday life. LCDs are everywhere, on your digital watches, cameras, iPods, laptop computers, television screens or car navigation displays. LCDs get their name from the special liquid crystal solution that is contained between two thin glass plates inside the display. Recent research findings suggest that embedding doped metal nanoparticles (MNP) in liquid crystal materials increases the performance of certain display devices. So far, however, the main problem with this approach has been that the inclusion of nanoparticles destabilizes the LC material. Researchers have now succeeded in synthesizing metal nanoparticle embedded stable liquid crystals in a single step, without using any external reducing and stabilizing agents. As a bottom-up strategy, this work is a further step towards synthesizing three-dimensional macro structures using small nanoparticles as building blocks, and an elegant method in fabricating soft organic architectures; particularly when it is combined with electronic, magnetic or photonic properties of inorganic materials.Posted: May 4th, 2007
Imagine a toothpaste that not only seeks out but actually repairs damage to tooth enamel. For those who dread their annual visit to the dentist, this may sound like science fiction. For people in Japan, it is a reality. Using nanoparticles, Japan's Sangi Company, Ltd., has sold more than 50 million tubes - and continues to expand its line of products containing nanoparticles. Scientists have learned to synthesize hydroxyapatite, a key component of tooth enamel, as nanosized crystals. When nano-hydroxyapatite is used in toothpaste, it forms a protective film on tooth enamel, and even restores the surface in damaged areas. Availability of similar products that claim to actually repair cavities is just around the corner. Unlikely as it seems at first blush, the $200 billion global cosmetics industry is one of the major players in the emerging field of nanotechnology. According to the Centre for the Study of Environmental Change at Lancaster University in Britain, the cosmetics industry already holds the largest number of patents for nanoparticles - and be it toothpaste, sunscreen, shampoo, hair conditioner, lipstick, eye shadow, after shave, moisturizer or deodorant, the industry is leading the way.Posted: Dec 4th, 2006
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is considered a workhorse of technological development exhibiting excellent electrical, optical, and chemical properties with a broad range of applications as semiconductors, in optical devices, piezoelectric devices, surface acoustic wave devices, sensors, transparent electrodes, solar cells, antibacterial activity etc. Thin films or nanoscale coating of ZnO nanoparticles on suitable substrates are viewed with great interest for their potential applications as substrates for functional coating, printing, UV inks, e-print, optical communication (security-papers), protection, barriers, portable energy, sensors, photocatalytic wallpaper with antibacterial activity etc. Various methods like chemical, thermal, spin coating, spray pyrolysis, pulsed laser deposition have been used for thin film formation but they are limited to solid supports such as metal, metal oxides, glass or other thermally stable substrates. Coating of ZnO nanoparticles on thermolabile surfaces is scarce and coating on paper was yet to be reported. Paper as a substrate is an economic alternative for technological applications having desired portability and flexibility. Researchers from the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan found a way of coating paper with ZnO nanoparticles using ultrasound.Posted: Nov 16th, 2006
With the advent of nanoscience and technology, a new area has developed in the area of textile finishing called "Nanofinishing". Growing awareness of health and hygiene has increased the demand for bioactive or antimicrobial and UV-protecting textiles. Coating the surface of textiles and clothing with nanoparticles is an approach to the production of highly active surfaces to have UV blocking, antimicrobial, flame retardant, water repellant and self-cleaning properties. While antimicrobial properties are exerted by nano-silver, UV blocking, self-cleaning and flame-retardant properties are imparted by nano-metal oxide coatings. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles embedded in polymer matrices like soluble starch are a good example of functional nanostructures with potential for applications such as UV-protection ability in textiles and sunscreens, and antibacterial finishes in medical textiles and inner wears.Posted: Oct 13th, 2006
The discussion about the health scare caused by the Magic-Nano sealing spray (which, as it turned out, was neither magic nor nano - see this article) has barely ebbed when questions about another nano consumer product arise. This time, it is not a health scare but rather the opposite - alleged health benefits of nanoparticles.Posted: Aug 8th, 2006
The use of nanoparticles in sunscreens is one of the most common uses of nanotechnology in consumer products. Well over 300 sunscreens on the market today contain zinc oxide or titanium oxide nanoparticles.Posted: Aug 3rd, 2006
An electrochromic display is one of the most attractive candidates for paper-like displays, so called electronic paper, which will be the next generation display, owing to attributes such as thin and flexible materials, low-power consumption, and fast switching times.Posted: Jun 19th, 2006

Ozzy Osbourne worries about the future state of rock and roll. In the new issue of Kerrang! , the 65-year-old rocker -- who has arguably engaged in some of the most outrageous "rock star"-type behavior in history -- agrees with the interviewer's question about the lack of leadership in the hard rock world these days. "That might be a very true statement," says Ozzy. "I honestly don't know who's going to carry the flag in the future, but I wish someone would hurry up. None of us are getting any younger, you know."
When asked about his pick for ultimate rock star, Osbourne surprisingly chose David Bowie , calling him "always original with his image and music. Nowadays, I have a problem telling who's in the band and who's in the crew — no one looks like a rock star!"
Ozzy Osbourne was named to the magazine's list of "50 Greatest Rock Stars in the World Today" and boasted that he was simply because "I'm Ozzy Osbourne!" He also cited his recent reunion with Black Sabbath and the success of the band's album, 13 , as being contributing factors.
Osbourne and Black Sabbath are slated for a trio of headlining dates in the United Arab Emirates and Russia in a month or so, before playing the festival circuit in Europe this summer.

2014 FORD FIESTA: First seen in Chicago at last year's auto show, the 2014 Ford Fiesta returns for a second engagement during the 106th Chicago Auto Show, Feb. 8-17, 2014. The latest Fiesta redefines the small car with a stylish new appearance, special features and technology that proves sometimes "small is smart." Ford projects that Fiesta will be the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid subcompact in the USA. The '14 edition is the most dramatic and distinctive Fiesta to date, combined with increased fuel economy ratings up to 40 mpg and "European-like" driving dynamics. Available in Fiesta S, SE and Titanium and new ST series, the '14 Fiesta wears a new hood and front chrome grille, and a freshen, upscale interior. Two powerplants are offered, starting with the diminutive 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder that develops 123 horsepower and comes exclusively with a five-speed manual gearbox. Also offered is the 1.6L four-cylinder that produces 120hp and can be ordered with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. In addition, there is the high-output version of the 1.6L that creates nearly 200hp (197 to be exact) installed in the North American Fiesta ST five-door hatchback. As Ford's newest contribution to the world of hot hatches, the ST comes coupled with a heavy-duty six-speed manual gearbox and enough racing DNA to back up the aggressive styling. In fact, the '14 Fiesta ST is one of Ford's exclusive global performance brand that is the result of the combined efforts of Team RS in Europe and SVT in the United States. Special packages are for custom exterior design graphics and sexy new paint color choices. Chicago Auto Show Fact: Word from the upcoming 2014 show is that the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder is projected to offer more than 40 mpg without the expense of purchasing a hybrid powertrain.

Zucker also squashed rumors General Electric Co. — owner of NBC Universal — will sell off the division after the Olympics. "We are not for sale," he said, noting the 18 months following the Olympics should be profitable, considering the presidential election and Super Bowl returning to the network in 2009.

START THEM YOUNG: Teenagers, specifically her own, make Vera Wang feel like an unfashionable mother. Her daughters often reject mom's idea of what looks good on store racks. "I have high anxiety from having two teenagers who tell me I have no taste," she said at Teen Vogue's Fashion U. event on Saturday. "I love them, and even though they insult me, and make fun of me, it is what it is." Luckily, the teenagers at the three-day Teen Vogue event were more forgiving — more than 500 budding fashionistas hung on every word of advice from Wang and other participants, including Tommy Hilfiger, Jill Stuart, Erin Fetherston, Phillip Lim, Rebecca Taylor and Cynthia Rowley. Of the group, about a hundred were return attendees from last year's inaugural program, many wearing their own designs and even passing out business cards and resumes to fashion's top brass. While ambition is key to success, Wang told the youngsters not to go at it alone too early during a Q&A session moderated by Teen Vogue editor in chief Amy Astley. "Get a job!" Wang said, repeating the words her father told her when she wanted him to pay for design school. "When you get a job, you are getting paid to learn." Wang spent 16 years at Vogue and then a couple of years as design director at Ralph Lauren before launching her own bridal line in 1990.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A former Green Bay Packer has donated some rare pieces to the team's Hall of Fame display at the Neville Public Museum.
Berlin native Bill Butler has donated his 1959 Packers team blazer and his Packers basketball uniform.
The basketball uniform was worn by Butler when he played on the Packers winter basketball team that toured the state playing Wisconsin high school alumni and faculty teams in 1959.
"People that are my age they can say I remember those guys and for the younger fans today it shows good history of the what the Packers did and how far they came," Butler told FOX 11.
The sport coat was issued to every player and coach. The custom tailored jacket was worn for official team photos and media events.
Butler was a running back and kick/punt return specialist for the Packers. He was a 19th round pick in the 1959 draft, which was Vince Lombardi's first year as head coach and general manager.
The items are on display at the Neville as part of the temporary exhibit "Touchdown! Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, Inc." They will move back to the Hall of Fame at Lambeau Field once the Atrium renovation project is complete in 2015.

Date Reviewed: May 9, 2014
Strengths: Good light and strong frame. That's it !!!!
Weaknesses: The parts on this bike are made of chocolate !! I bought this bike 6 months ago and now only have 3 original parts left standing . All other parts have been upgraded due to how poor the original ones were.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: August 18, 2013
Strengths: Bullet proof frame. S.A.V.E system is great for soaking up bumps and hits. Frame can take 650b tires I converted mine and its great. Very light frame Im a a Clydesdale rider and this frame has no problem going through very tech trails has taken abuse and kept going with out any problems.
Weaknesses: paint is thin and very easy to scratch off.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: June 25, 2013
Strengths: The geometry of the frame is perfect for an intermediate rider, as it allows you to stay upright and comfortable. The components are really excellent for an entry level bike. The gears shift very smoothly and it's a nice cosy ride. I love the adjustments on the suspension. The bike is fairly lightweight and really easy to handle. It feels solid and very top quality, considering the price.
Weaknesses: You should definitely change the tires. The factory tires are really pretty lame, so I went tubeless and very happy now. I also had to change the grips as the factory grips were causing blisters. Other than that, the bike is pretty ideal.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: March 9, 2013
Strengths: Frame, Headstock and Bars, Brakes, and excellent design geometry.
Weaknesses: Drivetrain, Forks, Rims.
Bottom Line:
Surprisingly, although cheap, the Shimano hydraulic brakes work very well, not that much below my other XT brakes.
Bottom line- excellent design with very cheap componants. Cannondale is looking greedier and greedier to me every year, which is disheartening as they have been my mainstay for a decade and a half.

Strengths: frame, controls, seat
Weaknesses: pedals, fork, brakes
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: August 6, 2012
Strengths: Frame, Wheels, Rear Derailer, Cranks. Seat post, Stem, Bars.
Weaknesses: Pedals, Seat, Front Derailer, Brakes. Tires.
Bottom Line:
Strengths-Wheels and main components of frame feel solid and function well. Fork, although a cheap brand, functions very well. Rear derailer gave me no issues at all. Cranks feel very solid no play or noise what so ever.
Weakness-Pedals are plastic, and have very small studs I found myself readjusting way too often. Brakes are terrible, although they will slow you down they make horrible noise wet and dry when applied hard and are very uneven and gummy. Front rotor began rubbing occasionally after some very light use. Seat extremely uncomfortable and not durable, ripped very easily. Front derailer is no good, functions good but occasionally has issues and jumped the chain once. Contemplaying removing it completely for now. Frame gemoetry good all around for me (5'10) but stem slightly too long for me. Feels a little off when going down steep hills and larger jumps, enough so that I will be looking into a different frame more suited for downhill and jumping.
All around Im happy with this bike. Good for all around and XC. If you ride it nicely and stay up on maitenence should last you a very long time with all stock parts. If I did it again I would have saved for another month or two and gotten a more exspensive main brand, probably full suspension.
Date Reviewed: August 4, 2012
Strengths: Very smooth ride. Looks great. Brakes stop on a dime. Seat is comfortable. Tires grip well on the trail. Fork handles obstacles beautifully in technical areas.
Weaknesses: Handle bar grips are sliding off handlebars. No other weaknesses.

Strengths: beautifully made frame, fantastic looks, very very light. all-in-all i struggle to find fault with the bike. my local bike shop upgraded my rear mech to an XT item which im sure has made all the difference.
Weaknesses: if i was to split hairs i"d say white grips.
Bottom Line:
fast rolling rapid rob tires on black rims again look very purposeful and do the job well, grippy and also fast clearing, though not recommended for proper sloppy mud. brakes are good, and look great in anodised green, levers and calliper housing. saddle looks sleek and is very very comfortable. a friend kept on at me about this bike and really talked me into it. glad he did have yet to do any epic journey but judging by what i have ridden it"ll be more than up to it an comfortable. the shifters work very well , the only non-stock item on my bike is the rear mech which the shop let me upgrade to an XT item for £30.............happy days!

Sierra Wireless Releases Linux SDK
Maker of embedded software Sierra Wireless has released a Linux software development kit (SDK) for its 3G wireless modules.
The SDK supports both CDMA and UMTS technologies and is targeted to OEM development teams producing embedded products. Vancouver company Sierra Wireless cites as its secondary target group software developers specializing in mobile broadband networks. The SDK should support application development for the devices in the company's palette of wireless products. Among them are the AirCard PC cards, Compass USB modems and AirLink mobile devices. Specific applications can be for mobile devices, vending machines, fleet management systems or machine-to-machine (M2M) systems. The idea is to connect all kinds of machines in mobile broadband networks.
Included in the SDK is an API, sample applications, utilities and documentation. It also provides access to the Sierra Wireless Command and Status API (CnS) with commands for voice, SMS and data connections. A login page is available for developers. According to the LinuxDevices.com, the SDK is based on Ubuntu and Debian Sarge-based reference designs. X86 platforms support Ubuntu 8.04 and require at least 256 Mbytes RAM and 3 Gbytes available storage.
Beginning of December the company acquired the Paris firm Wavecom that specializes in M2M applications. The purchase price was about $305 million in the current exchange. Sierra Wireless hopes to expand its market in Europe and Asia with the acquisition.

Hey, all -
I got my first kernel panic ever on my late 2008 MBP. It seems to be a Mountain Lion issue. Rebooted. All seems to be well now.
Just in case anyone else has the same problem, here's the article from Apple.
P.S. I used to "panic" regularly on my G5 running Leopard. I finally solved the problem by erasing and reformatting the HD. I hope to replace the G5 this year with a Mac mini when they're next updated (next week, according to the latest rumors). I really don't need pro performance for my secondary machine.

Perspectives Exhibition by Tom Stoddart from Hulton Archive on Vimeo.
'This is designed for people to come at a time when there's a great party in London. It's not meant to shock, it's just meant to make people think a little more, at a time when the whole world is drawn together with this great sporting event, that there are areas of the world where people don't have access to clean water or medicine, there's problems with human rights. So it's just kind of to keep it in perspective.'
Tom Stoddart speaks about his exhibition, Perspectives, now up in London.

Purchased at iHerb
The price on iherb for the product is pretty good. I compared it to the price at a whole foods store in the U.S. last year, and the price on iherb was more competitive. I listened to a podcast about the owner once, and he seems like a respectable, down-to-earth business owner. I like buying from a company where I can put a face to the name, not a big corporation. (I don't mind paying a little bit more for a quality product). I have used this flour to make gluten free wraps, hamburger buns, and even marzipan. (Yum)
Love This Stuff!

This is the brand I always purchase and use frequently in baking/cooking. The consistency is good and uniform, it bakes up nicely and has a nice, mild flavor.

Party Tip: How to Manage Your Time Like a Pro on Party Day
You can have the absolute best menu and everything could come out just right but if the timing is off on party day it can leave you unnecessarily stressed and unable to actually enjoy the evening. What to do? Here are some tips for managing your time and getting everything to the table without too much stress.
This week, we had a request from a reader who loves throwing dinner parties, but finds herself pressed for time after work with only a few hours to pull everything together. I can relate; even when I have an entire day to prepare for a dinner party, I often find myself racing around all day and only allowing myself to relax when the doorbell starts to ring. I realize this defeats the purpose of having guests over for a mellow, enjoyable evening.
While thinking about this reader's question, I couldn't help but recall how recently over on Food52, Amanda Hesser posted about starting to throw more weekend dinner parties, chronicling the planning, timing, and serving of the meal itself. Hesser writes about her most recent party and how she structured the week, from buying flowers to making pie dough in advance. I called up friends to ask for their tips. I even asked my mom. Here's what I discovered:
• A Week Before: For all of you folks with little ones, Hesser has a great suggestion to make the kid's meals for the entire week at once on Monday or Tuesday. This way, you're not thinking through how to feed your family while also preparing to feed a house full of friends at the end of the week.
• A Few Days Before: My mom suggests making sure the entryway and yard are all in order a few days before a party. This is just far too organized for me, but I suppose watering the plants is a good idea — for those of you that even have plants to water. Hesser suggests making the salad dressings and any pie or pastry doughs as they'll keep for a few days in the refrigerator and not having to think about this step on the day of will save you quite a bit of stress. If you need to order any cuts of meat or specialty foods, this is the time to do that, too.
• The Day Before: Buy flowers and wine today. I also make sure I have enough ice on hand and start making it like crazy. Because I'm such a visual person, I like to set out platters and serving trays the day before so I can start to think through how I'll lay everything out on the table. I find it too hectic to tackle this on the day of the party. Superficially, I think through what I may want to wear and throw in a load of laundry if need be.
• Party Day: Party day I reserve for preparing the food. Plain and simple. I'll also arrange the flowers. I always begin early and prepare anything I can in the morning so the late afternoon and evening are as calm as possible.

If I am making a lot (Thanks giving) I always make a time table for myself. This table usually includes a list of things I'm making before the day of, so I know each day what I need to do. I also always plan in breaks so I don't get too stressed.
When I throw a big party (more than 20 people), I make a time table for the entire week. I get it down to 15 minutes during the day of, which is very specific, but really helps me stay focussed. It also allows me to cook multiple dishes at once & not mix up ingredients. I do the timetable at least a week in advance which allows me time to correct & update. So I've been able to host a holiday open house brunch where 75 people showed up & have a great time.
When my MIL threw a 90th bday party for her mother, I did a time table for the woman hired to help plate & serve. It helped all 3 of us, so we didn't forget anything. Of course, my husband laughed at me, but we were all relaxed & were able to really enjoy the party.
Now, for just a regular dinner where another family comes over, I don't make a time table. I have shifted from making complicated dishes to easier, more forgiving items where I can do as much in advance as possible.
I entertain a lot - anywhere from 12 or so people for a dinner party to 20 for a bunco group. I do a lot of the very same things (setting out the dishes I'll need, making dressings a few days before) but I do a lot more in the days leading up to the party. I prep any and all ingredients I possibly can a few days ahead of time. Cut all the veggies, make sauces and also bake whatever needs to be baked the day before (like a cake or bread). Nothing makes me more frazzled then staring at yeast demanding it rise while counting down the hours/minutes until guests arrive. I try to plan a menu that I can have everything prepared ahead of time and just cook once guests are here. (I made this decision after spending a few dinner parties blanching veggies in batches then sautéing them in a pan, or pan searing meats or making stir frys - while my guests stand around and ask if they can help. No, all good here!) I'm still busy getting drinks and putting out food and setting the table even with things being done ahead of time. I guess I like seeing everything done before people come so I can gage if I made enough food or if I'm missing something. (We need an extra veggie! Start peeling carrots to roast!)
I'm also a firm believer of making pitchers of cocktails instead of making one drink at a time when guests arrive. At my bunco party, I had 2 drinks to chose from in pitchers (plus wine - that's easy) that just needed to be poured over ice or shaken in a cocktail shaker and strained into a martini glass. Made it a lot easier to get a drink in everyone's hand when all 20 people arrive at the same time.
@tallsarah that is what we in the event industry call a production schedule! Good for you!!!
That was going to be my suggestion too!
The timetable was my suggestion too. I used to be a crazy mess gettiing things prepared the day of a party. The more parties I throw the more I learn I can push things to the days in advance. Some of the cooking of course, but also some of the little things that take don't take much time but can add up when combined, such as setting out cutlery, napkins, table cloths, portable tables, coolers, etc. All of that is done days in advance now.
Great suggestion for the kids meals! That can go for the adult meals too!

Though I admit the title of the film is slightly dumb, I can't really fault much else going on here.
Turn off your mind, though, and there's some fun to be had from some of the better whizz-bang sequences.
This is a movie about street racers... criminals in fact, and there was nothing grimy or dirty about it at all.
The stars look bored out of their minds when the fourth episode of the franchise stalls between racing sequences, which is all too often in a flick where 106 minutes speed by in what feels like at least four hours.
People who want nothing more out of a movie than an extended rap video -- there's lots of hip-hop, close-ups of cars, and women in shiny tiny shorts -- may be satisfied. But this movie isn't much more than a re-do of the first film in the series.
The tagline for this film is: 'New Model, Original Parts'. It should be: 'Are you dumb enough to pay for the same film twice?'
As hard as it is to believe, having the old gang back really does make a big difference, just not big enough. Lin isn't the director to offer anything new enough to make Fast & Furious worth your time unless you're a hardcore fan of the series.
Here's hoping this is the last, but after the huge amount of money it has taken already in the States, don't be surprised to see a 5th.
One of the film's biggest laughs is showing title credits. Clearly, after a prologue in which thieves play chicken with a burning, tumbling oil tanker, the possibility exists this is a Steven Soderbergh experimental gamble. Dumb, fun & entertaining.
Lin makes the few set pieces sandwiched between the many flat, talky scenes count as much as they can.
'Fast & Furious?' The stars of this sequel are more like Sluggish & Vaguely Grumpy, though it's nothing a little bit of fiber in their diets couldn't cure.
'Neat to watch' summarizes the film quite nicely. The revenge subplot that drives Fast and Furious is uninteresting since we haven't seen these characters in eight years.
Fast & Furious is a piece of junk, but at least it is an entertaining and endearing piece of junk. For a franchise I actively dislike, this is the best of the bunch.
General unoriginality contributes to 'The Fast and the Furious' series' own issue as a 'seen one, seen 'em all' series.
If it's not fast and furious automotive action you're after, hoping instead for a cohesive character driven plot, then you're more likely to just get furious pretty damn fast.
Fast & Furious could be called Grand Theft Autopilot. Lin knows that his demographic doesn't care about truth. They want to see stuff smash up - and in as outlandish and outrageous a way possible.
The dialogue resembled bad '80s porn with extreme overacting and cheesy one-liners. Ironically, Fast & Furious is like porn, you want them to shut up and get to the action!
works as a mindless collection of racing sequences and cool cars, made all the better because of Diesel's extremely likable bad-boy persona and a director who knows how to keep his foot on the gas, action-wise
%u03B7 %u03B5%u03B9%u03C3%u03B1%u03B3%u03C9%u03B3%u03B9%u03BA%u03AE %u03C3%u03BA%u03B7%u03BD%u03AE %u03BC%u03B5 %u03C4%u03B7%u03BD %u03B1%u03C1%u03C0%u03B1%u03B3%u03AE %u03C4%u03C9%u03BD %u03B2%u03C5%u03C4%u03AF%u03C9%u03BD %u03B5%u03AF%u03BD%u03B1%u03B9
It definitely could have used more humor and, according to the alpha males in my viewing party, more sex appeal...and we're not talking about injectors and camshafts.
With his sleepy-eyed gaze and biceps that no shirt can contain, Diesel quietly commands the movie.
Audience Reviews for Fast & Furious
Super Reviewer
So Walker is now an agent in a suit for the FBI, so he looks even more like Keanu Reeves in 'Point Break', really helping his impression ten fold...totally bra!. Toretto's girlfriend has been killed by a drug dealers henchman, the same drug dealer O'Conner is after, so both end up going after the same cartel. At the same time Toretto is still on the most wanted list which is still causing O'Conner morality issues, anyway to hell with all that! cue the pointless street racing!.
This film really does feel completely and utterly generic in every way. The plot just seems so pointless and uninspired, 'Letty' is killed for pretty much unknown reasons (we don't find out why for ages), but I assume its mainly because Rodriguez wanted out of the franchise. From that point on its just watching Vin Diesel swagger from one set piece to another beating guys up or generally running away from the law.
I mean really, the main bad guy drug kingpin organises a street race through downtown LA just to recruit a driver for his drug smuggling operation. The whole sequence is so pathetic, all the drivers line up like they were top guns of the chav world...bling city, one guy is black, one guy is white, one guy is Latino etc...PC much?. Its not even a sensible race, more like a destruction derby and completely unrealistic. I realise this is not a serious action film but come on, lets at least make the racing sensible, it is the films main selling point.
Oh...A hyper modded Skyline struggling to beat an US brick (American Muscle), really? I don't think so, import will always win. That Skyline should have been pushing 1000BHP, should have been if properly modded.
The tanker hijack sequence at the start of the film is just as dumb as the exact same sequence in the first film. Once again I gotta ask...why not just stop the tanker, take the driver out at gun point and then calmly take the fuel?? surely that's easier?. Oh no wait the director wants to have an exciting chase sequence with lots of fast cars and a big explosion at the end, oooooh gotcha.
Then there is the quite plainly idiotic chase sequences through these underground tunnels across the US border into Mexico. I can't even begin to express how stupid this whole concept is let alone how awful it looks with terrible CGI. For starters who built these tunnels? how? when? how did the US border patrols not notice this massive undertaking??!. How the hell does anyone know exactly where the entrance is to these tunnels when they are disguised as a rock face and you're travelling towards them at about 200+ MPH!.
The sequences within the tunnels are just dreadful, it looks like a videogame. As the actors sit in the mock cars you can laugh at the hideous CGI rock formations whizzing past in the windows/rear windscreen. Again I know this isn't a serious flick but come on...this takes the piss. And we are to believe they are all zooming down these narrow badly lit mine shafts in super imports and US muscle cars at well over 150MPH?! really?.
What I love about this franchise/film is the fact Toretto always seems to have a modded muscle car. Doesn't matter where he is or what's happened, he turns up with a newly charged up car...always American muscle. I wish it was this easy in reality haha. Even at the very end, O'Conner and what's left of Toretto's crew pop up to bust him out...all driving more expensive heavily modded cars!. Where do they get them from?? how many Dodge Chargers have they gone through now? how many do they own? do they clone them??. Do any of these guys have insurance? wait silly question.
This film did well simply because the original cast came back, but I can't for the life of me understand how that helps. Yes I like Vin Diesel but the rest are terrible, the plot is formulaic and dull, the film is choppy and they have started to slide towards the action genre meaning actual street racing is out. But even the racing sequences are poor here, just ridiculous and show more resemblance to James Bond. Not to be taken seriously of course but this film has lost its originality and simply become a common action mess.
