Lupita Nyong'o's Best Looks During Award Season
Considering her rapid rise to fame, and the gruelling schedule of appearances, it is particularly remarkable that Nyong'o has consistently knocked it out of the park. Here are our favourite red carpet moments thus far.

Attending the Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences' Governors Awards in November, Nyong'o wore a classic Prabal Gurung Resort 14 Tuxedo-Inspired Dress with white Christian Louboutin Batignolles 120 Python Pumps ($1165) and a neat Charlotte Olympia Domino Pandora Perspex Clutch ($1195).

At the 86th Oscars Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hilton, Nyong'o looked radiant in a pastel Christian Dior S/S 14 Satin Dress, which she chose to wear with blue and purple accessories. Her Paul Andrew Sapphire Heels ($675) and Dior Tee Shirt Earrings paired beautifully with her Judith Lieber Couture Clutch ($1995) in Plum.

Nyong'o opted for a classic Chanel tweed ensemble for the British Academy Film Awards Nominees Party in London last month. To keep the overall look youthful, she accessorized with Christian Louboutin So Kate Pumps ($625) in Silver.

Nyong'o stole the show when she arrived at the British Academy Film Awards in an emerald green Dior Couture gown from F/W 13. To complement the sleek neckline, she wore a gold metal belt and Ana Khouri Gold Ildeman Cuffs.

At the NAACP Image Awards a week ago, Nyong'o received the Best Supporting Actress Award in a stunning Givenchy Pleated Stretch Viscose Jersey Dress ($4990) in Orange. To keep the look cohesive, she also wore Givenchy's 100MM Metallic Leather Sandals ($866) in Orange and Givenchy's Pre-Fall 14 Clutch and finished the look with a dramatic H.Stern Ancient America Gold Cuff ($25800).

Although this is not awards-season related, it did take place during the whirlwind of award season events so we think it counts. For the Los Angeles premiere of Non-Stop, Nyong'o chose this flirty and youthful Lanvin Strapless Lamè Dress ($4100) and accessorized with Sergio Rossi Metallic Pumps ($640) and Janis Savitt Diamond Arrow Earrings ($3740).
For her appearance at the Independent Filmmaker Grant and Spirit Awards Nominees' Brunch, Nyong'o wore a casual daytime ensemble from Peter Pilotto. Nyong'o matched her Anya Hindmarch Clutch and white Sophia Webster Lola Pumps ($320) to the graphic blue and white Top ($1124) and Printed Shorts ($497).
At the IFP Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York City in December, Nyong'o paired her pristine Lanvin S/S 14 Strapless Dress with the designer's satin pumps from the F/W 10 collection. Her jewellery was from Fred Leighton.
To accept the Best Supporting Actress statue at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Nyong'o chose a custom-made turquoise Gucci gown with an intricate floral neckline. She wisely kept her Fred Leighton jewellery minimal, so as not to compete with the bold neckline.
At the Golden Globe Awards, Nyong'o stunned in Ralph Lauren's red Audrey Cape Evening Gown ($7000). With a silhouette this bold, Nyong'o needed only a hint of lip colour and classic Fred Leighton jewellery.
At the 2013 BAFTA Los Angeles Brittania Awards in November Nyong'o opted for a delicate Lanvin Floor-Length Draped Stretch Dress ($4395) in Black and Cream. Given her typical affinity for bright colours and strong silhouettes, this showed a softer side of her style aesthetic.
Following her appearance at the Late Show With David Letterman, Nyong'o was photographed in a structured J.Mendel Resort 14 Black Bustier, black pencil skirt, Christian Louboutin Geotistrap Pumps and Graziela White Diamond Earrings ($2900).
For the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala on January 4th, Nyong'o chose a coral brocade Elie Saab Couture shift dress, which shone against her dark skin, and accessorized with matching Christian Louboutin Gwynitta Patent Crisscross Sandals ($745).
Attending the 17th Annual Hollywood Film Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Nyong'o wore a sunshine yellow J.Mendel Sleeveless Gown with Monique Pean's Grey Ombre Fossilized Walrus Ivory Ring and Judith Leiber's Fizzy Fullbead Crystal Clutch ($1995) in Silver. She echoed the hue of her dress with gold eyeshadow and finished the look with a bright, tangerine lip.
Seen arriving at The Late Show With David Letterman, Nyong'o wore another printed confection from Peter Pilotto. She paired her Silk Graphic Dress ($1666), with coordinated mint Manolo Blahnik BB Pumps ($595) and Michael Nelson's Box Lucy Box Clutch ($2395).
At the LoveGold event in her honour at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on February 26th, Nyong'o donned a cobalt Stella McCartney cutout dress, Christian Louboutin pumps, Elena Votsi Sun Earrings in Gold and Diamond (prices upon request http://www.elenavotsi.com/) and Sun Ring (price upon request http://www.elenavotsi.com/) gold ring, and a Rauwolf Brutalist Clutch ($2910) in Sapphire. She receives extra style points for the shock of cobalt eye shadow.

Nicolai 2012 mountain bikes – First look
Electric downhill bike, gearboxes and more
Germany's Nicolai have slimmed down their range to just five core designs for 2012 – although they still offer a total of 14 different models – but they continue to push the boundaries of bike design, with frames built to accept Pinion's new gearbox and their own G-Boxx system, plus an electric-assist downhill bike. Check out our gallery for loads more images.
Ion is Nicolai's 'gravity' range. The 220mm Ion20 downhill frame (£2,150) remains in the line-up for 2012 but it's joined by three new models. The Ion18 (£1,800) replaces the Helius AFR freeride frame and offers a lower centre of gravity, with 203mm of rear travel and a 180mm fork up front.
The Ion14 (£1,800) is a versatile beast which can be run with a 100mm fork and short-stroke shock as a four-cross racer or with a 140mm fork and longer shock as a park bike. All feature Nicolai's proven four-bar Horst link suspension design, plus either 1.5in or tapered steerer tubes for improved stiffness.
Nicolai Ion14
The Ion e-bike is the real head-turner though, with a Bosch electric motor to power you to the top of the hill and make uplift queues a thing of the past. The Ion20 E-Boxx has 180/203mm of front/rear travel courtesy of a RockShox Vivid 5.1 shock and a claimed frame weight of 14.3kg (31.5lb).
The shorter-travel (160/170mm) Ion16 E-Boxx comes with a Cane Creek Double Barrel shock and weighs slightly less, at 13.9kg (30.6lb). The motor can also be built into Nicolai's Helius and Argon frames. UK pricing for the E-Boxx models is still to be confirmed.
Nicolai Ion16 E-Boxx
The Helius RC (120mm, race/trail, £1,875), Helius AC (145mm, trail, £1,780), Helius AC 29in (120mm, trail 29er, £1,825) and Helius AM (170mm, all-mountain, £1,780) carry over for 2012, with the latter gaining cable guides for a dropper post. Again, all have four-bar rear ends plus either tapered (bikes with up to 150mm of fork travel) or 1.5in steerer tubes.
The AM will now also be available with Pinion's new 18-ratio P1.18 gearbox. Both lighter – a prototype complete bike shown at Eurobike weighed 15.2kg (33lb) – and cheaper than Nicolai's G-Boxx system, this is said to offer a massive 636% gear range. The first production run of the Helius AM Pinion has already sold out. Provisional UK pricing is £3,150 for the frame.
Nicolai Helius AM Pinion
The Rohloff-based G-Boxx system is still available too, on Nicolai's Nucleon bikes. The Nucleon E2 frame (£4,800) is based on the Ion, with 200/220mm of travel, while the Nucleon AM (£4,400) is based on the Helius AM, with 160-170/150-190mm of travel.
It's not all about full-suspension bikes at Nicolai – they offer a quiver of aluminium hardtail frames too. The Argon is available in versions for cross-country (Argon CC, 26 or 29in wheels, available with Rohloff hub gear or Gates belt drive, prices from £1,150), trail/all-mountain (Argon FR, £1,200), urban/touring (Argon TR, £1,225) and road (Argon Road, £1,175) riders.

TNT : Donjons & Mountains GCJPN4 GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – January 23, 2012
TNT : Donjons & Mountains (GCJPN4) earns its difficulty 5, terrain 5 rating. It also earns a "wow" from the geocaching community. The Multi-Cache has tallied more than 90 Favorite Points so far.
Geocachers spend a day tracking down clues throughout rural Belgium and France. The clues help crack the codes on the cache page.
Once geocachers find the answers they discover coordinates for the final cache. Through it all gecoachers follow their GPS to encounter donjons (fortified towers) seemingly sprouting in the deep forest. They finally finish on a "mountain."
Cachemier created the cache in 2004. He crafted a comprehensive cache page that's worth eyeballing. It lays out all the information a geocachers needs in a clear and playful way.
The cache page is also clear with a warning. It reads, "If you are afraid or unsure of: heights,depths, darkness, small spaces, various wildlife like spiders, snakes, birds, bats, getting dirty, wet, cold, scratched by briers, bruised, tired, hungry and thirsty — then you should seriously reconsider going on this geocache hunt. One or more of the above elements WILL happen to you on this hunt. However, if you like adventurous hikes and you thrive for the challenge and don't mind a bit of discomfort then this is the Belgian Geocache hunt for you! If you do decide to take on this challenge, your experience will be one you will remember!"
The cache page also lists the items you'll need to complete the cache which includes dozens of items like a climbing harness, safety rope and carabiners.
News of Donjons & Mountains is spreading from geocacher to geocacher. It's already on 37 Bookmark Lists.
One geocacher who logged a smiley on Donjons writes, "A while ago, I had a long interesting conversation with a geocacher from Belgium. He highly recommended this cache. Reading the listing, the logs – I decided, yes this cache has to go on my To-Do-List. We really enjoyed our TNT: Donjons & Mountains Trip. Thanks for this adventure and greetings from Germany."

Tough choices…
So there's been some talk out there lately about acquiring a new goaltender, possibly moving one of the young guns to get one, and other things. I'll offer my take.
The Oilers are very stacked with high-flying offense. Currently, we're looking at Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, Nail Yakupov, Sam Gagner, David Perron and Ales Hemsky (who may be gone before the end of the year). This is an obvious position of strength.
On the blue line, the Oilers currently have (at the NHL level): Ladislav Smid, Jeff Petry, Anton Belov, Justin Schultz, Nick Schultz and Andrew Ference. Of these guys, Justin Schultz and Anton Belov are standouts. Neither, at this point, are what I'd consider clear #1 guys, however. They're definitely above average.. but there is no d-man in this group that you feel safe with on the ice in any situation.
In goal, we have Devan Dubnyk and Jason LaBarbera. Of course, questions Continue reading 'Tough choices…'»

So this was supposed to be a remake of the Argentinian flick "The Secret in their Eyes". Unfortunately this turned out to be one of the worst remakes ever made.
Let us crawl slowly through the direction department:
It isn't intense. Doesn't let you connect at all. The office romance of Chiwetel and Nicole lacks the chemistry it was supposed to reach. Billy Ray goes for two parallel storylines which further vexes the audience. Primary reason being, Chiwetel looks exactly the same in both timelines, (his white beard is the only thing that could have probably pin pointed, and the flick's story, which as a matter of fact, compels you to spend minutes wondering what they are really talking about to grasp which timeline you are exactly in)
Moving on to the plot front. So they did change the story a bit with the inclusion of Julia Roberts to the tale. Making her daughter a victim. The initial bits of the movie were quite powerful where she gives a power pack performance whilst grieving. Then she too gets bogged down by the flick's poor direction. Screenplay is sometimes fine, but at most junctures lanced by inappropriate editing.
The story also lacks a proper Dirty War backdrop. Here 9/11 terrorism is taken into account for a distraught system. Although the plot of the movie runs directly on the rails of the Argentinian version, you incessantly feel something isn't right. Music of the movie isn't profound and is the detachable kind, not present at most of the crucial junctures.
Nicole is pretty much simply there, expressionless yet sensuous. You almost don't figure out if Nicole was bluffing whilst challenging Marzin of his manhood. So poorly made! Even the final bits where everything was supposed to actually matter, things become so hazy and bleak you start thinking if it would end in a different fashion altogether.
Chiwetel tries to hold every bit on his shoulders alone, but unfortunately falls in the muck of some weird unfeeling love and looks of his co-stars. A very bad remake, actually. Go watch the original!
