Last saturday afternoon,me and my hubby watched movie at Marcus theater.we watched THE IRON MAN . 
I really like it.It was Fantastic movie
.The suit is cool, but IRON MAN belongs to Robert Downey, Jr.: His effortlessly nuanced performance as Tony Stark, a heedless, billionaire playboy arms manufacturer cast into a brutal crucible that forces a top-to-bottom reassessment of his life so far, is a dark delight that combines pop-culture wit and genuine emotional depth.
Brilliant, hedonistic industrialist Tony Stark (Downey) inherited a clutch of companies invested in everything from medical research to alternative energy, but the pulsing heart of Stark Industries is weapons: The bigger and more destructive the better. Stark's sound-bite patriotism lies over a genuine, if not deeply considered, belief that Stark munitions are making the world safe for his fellow Americans, a position he's compelled to rethink after being wounded and taken hostage by Afghan terrorists during a mega-missile demo/photo op. Held in a mountain camp bristling with Stark products and tethered to a primitive device buried in his chest -- the only thing standing between his heart and stealthy shards of shrapnel lurking in his flesh – Stark is ordered to build his captors their very own super WMD. He instead forges an iron robo-suit and escapes; his first act back in the US is to make the startling announcement that Stark Industries is out of the weapons business until further notice. While Stark devotes himself to constructing an improved version of the suit that saved his life, rumors that he's suffering post-traumatic stress syndrome threaten to destabilize Stark Industries. The three people closest to him – loyal assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow); friend and military liaison James "Rhodey" Rhodes (Terrence Howard); and longtime right-hand Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) – react in very different ways, both before and after they discover exactly what he's been working on and what he plans to do with it.
Downey, 42, gets under the skin of a character whose devil-may-care arrogance, born of lifelong privilege, is viciously ripped away, an experience that makes a better man of him, but not a different one. He's still cocky, self-centered and superficially imperious, but he knows he's not untouchable, which has as much to do with being obliged to ask Pepper to plunge her hand into the perpetually open hole in his chest and adjust the device keeping him alive as it does his newly awakened conscience. His performance grounds the film's fantastic trappings -- from the sleek Iron Man armor to Pepper's ability to sprint in strappy, sky-high heels – in emotional reality.
| step 1The idea! What is the first thing that you think of when your friend comes to mind? Is it a hobby? An obsession? Something quirky? Chances are it can be put on a cake. The simpler an idea it is, the better executed it can be. For this cake, the idea was inspired by my friend's obsession with ketchup. step 2How do I customize the cake? So I have my idea: a ketchup cake. I've already baked my cake (I usually go for chocolate or funfetti, since I will largely use colored vanilla icing to decorate). Now I need to customize my cake for my recipient. In this case, I went to google images and typed in "Heinz." Many a ketchup bottle came up. The idea is to create a cake that looks like a heinz ketchup bottle but has language that makes sense to the recipient. So, looking at the heinz labels I see a few key things that the cake needs to have in order to look like a ketchup bottle: (1) the cake needs to be red (2) the "wrapper" needs the three-toned color border. (3) the cake needs to say heinz (4) it needs a pickle on it. The rest can be embellished. (1) To get the cake to be red: mix a lot of red food coloring with vanilla icing and spread across cake. You may notice that the icing will be more of a dark pink color. Sprinkling red sugar crystals on top of the icing will help give the cake a more reddish hue. step 3Incorporating other food elements (2) While you can use colored icing for the three-toned border, another texture, such as jelly beans, can be quite visually appealing. Here I have placed a layer of green jelly beans, a layer of chocolate icing, and then a layer of white jelly beans, to vary the textures. The chocolate icing was applied by scooping a few tablespoons into a ziplock freezer bag, cutting a small hole at one end, and squeezing the icing onto the cake. NOTE: freezer bags are much easier to work with than ordinary storage bags. Also note that as long as you get the general shape of the heinz wrapper, it will be recognizable. (3) Using the chocolate icing in the ziplock bag, write HEINZ in large letters. (4) Using extra green jelly beans, bunch a few jelly beans together to look like a pickle! step 4Poking Fun Now you need to add some final touches. Underneath the HEINZ, the bottle usually notes the year that the company was established. Here I will replace this with the year my friend was born, using red colored icing. More recently ketchup bottles say funny expressions on them. Perfect time to mention that it is Michele's favorite food! Finally, at the bottom of every ketchup label is the net weight. Here I add a reference to my friend's age, since this is a birthday cake. I also add happy birthday to the top of the cake, as a more official birthday greeting. |
Have you ever heard parents make such comments as these to their children:
"Boy, are you dumb!"
"Can't you do anything right?"
"Why are you such a pack rat?"
"Stop being such a loudmouth!"
If you flinched when you read the above comments, you probably sensed how negative, harsh, and uncompassionate they are. What do such comments communicate? Concern? Patience? Gentleness? Love? Or do they show disrespect, insensitivity, or dislike?
We are told that we should not negatively label our children. But when we use such language, we do more than give a hostile label. We show we do not really care about them. How can we avoid using such labels? We must repent of unloving feelings and show compassion and patience. It may be that our task is not as much to build confidence in our children as it is to quit stealing it from them.
Yes it's spring time
.This is my favorite season, surroundings are beautiful because of the different kinds of flowers.I love going to some Parks and beautiful gardens.I enjoyed watching those lovely flowers.Here are some of my beautiful collections.
The effects of spring occur beyond the garden, too. Love is in the air, with the birds searching everywhere! Male birds will shed their dreary, muddy-colored feathers in favor of new, more brilliant colors for spring and summer — all the better to capture the attention of a female. After all, what better way is there to impress the females than with colorful plumage? The bright colors also warn other males or suitors to keep their distance. By nature's design, female birds are less colorful, allowing them to hide from predators and protect the nests.
While it is best for birds to get their food naturally from the wild, it's fun to be a voyeur by attracting these lovers to your feeders. To get a front row seat on this love story, offer a smorgasbord of food that appeals to the birds in your neighborhood.
Variety is key to attracting a wide range of birds. If you can offer just one type of seed, make it black-oil sunflower seed, which has the highest meat-to-shell ratio, is high in fat, and is easy for birds to open. If possible, offer more than one type of food. Check with your local bird store for tips on the best menu for birds in your location.
Cluster your feeders. Birds are attracted to a variety of offerings, so your feeder "tree" should have at least four feeders with different foods. Make sure the feeders are at least eight feet below tree branches or any other overhang, and four to six feet above the ground. This placement will minimize problems with squirrels and cats.
It makes sense to place feeders where you can see them, but be sure they are also close to bushes and trees so birds can flee to safety. Small birds, such as finches and warblers, are intimidated by larger birds and tend to dine in greater numbers, so set up separate feeders just for them.
Birds need water, too, so set up a birdbath nearby. Be sure to keep it filled and change the water every few days.
A proper diet consists of a variety of foods from each of the food groups every day. We need meats and animal products, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and grains and starchy roots. (For more information see The Latter-day Saint Woman: Basic Manual for Women, Part A, lesson 22: “Nutrition for the Family.”)
If you agree with two or more of these statements, you may have a strong tendency toward eating disorders. Get help now!
1. I try to be thinner than all my friends.
2. I panic if I gain two pounds.
3. I use laxatives for weight control.
4. I go for long periods without eating much as a way to lose weight.
5. My friends tell me I am thin, but I don’t believe them because I feel fat.
6. I like to eat alone. I make excuses so I don’t have to eat with my family.
7. I sometimes eat huge amounts of food and then make myself vomit.
8. I enjoy making treats for others as long as I don’t have to eat any.
9. The thing I fear most is becoming fat.
10. I get upset if I can’t exercise as much as planned.
11. My family makes me angry when they keep pushing food at me.
12. I tend to be a perfectionist.
• Caloric restriction, binge eating, secretive eating
• Extreme preoccupation with food—preparing food or shopping for others, reading cookbooks and food magazines frequently, dreaming about food, developing peculiar eating rituals
• Preoccupation with dieting and calorie-counting
• Abuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, diet pills
• Evidence of forced vomiting
• Insomnia, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, weak and brittle nails, feeling of always being cold, lack of menstrual periods
• Distorted body image—feeling fat when one is emaciated
• Inordinate amounts of exercise
• Depression
• Inability to concentrate
• Withdrawal from friends and social activities
Most eating disorders start with negative feelings toward self. Often, victims harbor feelings of despair and/or feelings of being flawed and defective. Many factors—including physical, sexual, or emotional abuse—can lead to these negative feelings. (Some victims may be genetically predisposed to depression and might be helped by antidepressants.)
Some eating-disorder victims come from families with poor communication skills and unhealthy styles of relating. Such families may have one or more of the following characteristics:
• The perfect family places undue importance on externals such as appearance and achievement. They are often overly concerned about how others perceive them.
• In the overprotective family, parents leave their children little room for making decisions and experiencing consequences. Family members are often confused about their own identities.
• The chaotic family is usually unstable. Family rules are inconsistent; children often distrust themselves as well as others. Parents may suffer from alcoholism or severe depression, and children are often the victims of physical abuse.
Individuals who struggle with eating disorders appear to go through addictive cycles similar to those suffered by alcohol and drug abusers. The obsession with food and dieting often becomes a way to alleviate inner distress.
