TIARAS E PINGOS DE LUZ PARA ARRAZAR NAS FESTAS

A moda pede acessórios chique e simples nos penteados de Natal e Réveillon

Há menos de um mês para as comemorações de fim de ano, assuntos relacionados ao look para as festas e confraternizações rondam a cabeça das mulheres. Como arrumar o cabelo e usar a maquiagem adequada são dúvidas freqüentes de mulheres modernas ligadas nas tendências da moda.

A maquiagem depende muito do tom de pele. Com o intuito de passar uma imagem mais harmoniosa, a utilização de roupas chamativas e brilhosas pede uma maquiagem mais discreta, sem brilhos nos olhos e no rosto. Além disso, é importante adequá-la com os acessórios, a fim de causar um efeito chique e sutil no visual.

Para os penteados, a tendência mostra que as mulheres são a favor do cabelo elaborado, porém com aspecto natural.

Segundo o cabeleireiro Leverson Lino, também do Spazio Personale, aqueles penteados conservadores totalmente presos estão fora de moda. “Hoje em dia, elas procuram algo diferente para os cabelos que fujam do efeito conservador, muito sério e duro de tanto laquê. Por isso, deixar as madeixas com ar natural, com movimento é a melhor solução para as festas de fim de ano”, afirma.

Além disso, Lino sugere a utilização de pingos de luz, presilhas, fivelas, tiaras gregas aquelas com flores, para chamar atenção nos penteados. “Esses acessórios garante um charme a parte no penteado”, conclui.

Presos ou soltos, as mulheres podem ousar na hora de arrumar os cabelos. A principal dica é, antes de mais nada, adequar os penteados com o estilo da roupa e com os acessórios.

Pele clara ou escura, cabelos lisos ou enrolados, o que vale é caprichar no visual e aproveitar as festas de fim de ano.

The cause of cancer lies deep within the building blocks of a person’s cells (genes and DNA). If these blocks become disorganized, cancer may develop.

Some forms of cancer may be inherited; they are passed down from parents to their children. For example, if a woman has close family members who have had breast cancer, she is more likely to get breast cancer.

Some cancers are caused by outside factors. For example, anyone who smokes is more likely to get lung throat or mouth cancer.

A tumor is a mass of abnormal cells. Tumors are either benign or malignant. Benign tumors usually grow very slowly and generally do not spread. Doctors can remove most of them. In the beginning, cancerous (malignant) tumors, usually stay in the organ where the cancer started. This is called localized disease. As cancers continue to grow, they are more likely to spread, or metastasize into the lymph nodes. This is called regional disease. When the cancer spreads beyond the nearby lymph nodes it is called distant disease. The more advanced the cancer (the more the cancer has spread) the more difficult it is to control or cure.

Doctors usually cannot tell if a tumor is cancer until a biopsy test is done. A tiny piece of tissue is removed with a needle or by surgery. A special doctor called a pathologist studies the tissue under a microscope to see if it is cancer. Often, more tests are done on the tissue if it is cancer. These tests let the doctor know more about the cancer. This information guides treatment. The pathologist might “grade” cancer from one to four. Grade one tumors have cells that look very similar to normal cells. Grade four tumors have cells that look very different from normal cells. Higher grade tumors are more likely to grow and spread.

Tumors also are “staged” to indicate the extent of the tumor. For example, tumors may be “called” stage one to stage four. The oncologist stagers a tumor based on the pathology report and other tests. Patients with the same stage and type of cancer have similar treatment in general, the higher the stage of cancer the more difficult it is to treat.

There are hundreds of different types of cancer. They are identified by the type of body tissue involved or by the body part involved. The major classifications of cancer are:

Carcinoma is a malignant tumor found in the outermost covering or lining of body surfaces or organs. These tumors are found on the skin, in the mouth and throat, stomach and bowel, or in organs like the breast, prostate, colon, lung or bladder.

Sarcoma is a malignant tumor found in connective tissues such as bone, muscle and cartilage.

Leukemia is a malignant disease found in bone marrow and other blood forming organs.

Glioma is cancer in the brain, spinal cord or nerves.

Lymphoma is a malignant tumor of the lymph glands or other lymphatic tissues.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra was formed in 1996 by Paul O’Neill who immediately approached long time friends and collaborators Robert Kinkel and Jon Oliva to form the core of the writing team.

While producing and writing for a number of years with various rock groups Paul was always looking for ways to make the music have greater and greater emotional impact. He tried to write the music that was so melodic it didn’t need lyrics. And lyrics that were so poetic that they didn’t need music but once you put the two of them together, the sum of the parts would be greater than the whole, and you couldn’t imagine them apart. Once he’d done this, he was still looking for a way to take it to even greater heights and he realized that putting the songs within the context of a story would give it a third dimension that wou ld make that additional emotional impact possible.

Hence, he started writing not just albums, but rock operas.

He realized then, that there was an inherent problem recording rock operas within the standard rock and roll band makeup. Rock operas by their nature need the voices to change as the characters change. Rock bands normally only have one (or if you’re lucky) two great vocalists to work with, therefore limiting how far you can go. You’re forced to make the music fit the band, as opposed to allowing the music to go wherever it needs to.

With Trans-Siberian Orchestra, first the music is created with no artificial limitations, and then we seek out within the classical, rock, Broadway and R & B worlds, the very best singers and musicians to bring each song to life. This also in many ways forces us to operate on a higher level. This environment has the additional benefit of causing a cross pollenization of musical ideas, creating hybrid forms of music that normally never would have occurred, such as an R&B singer doing a classical style melody and bringing gospel touches to it that causes it to glitter in ways that even the creators could not have predicted. Another very important aspect in the creation of the band, is that there could be no limits on the members; we mix all races and ages.

The young get to mine the experience of the old musicians, while they can’t help to be inspired by the enthusiasm of people just entering the business. This has created a vast constantly changing musical group that even we do not know what it is going to do next.

Once when asked what Trans-Siberian Orchestra was about, Paul O’Neill replied, “It’s about creating great art. When asked to define what great art was, Paul said, “The purpose of art is to create an emotional response in the person that is exposed to that art. And there are three categories of art; bad art, good art and great art. Bad art will elicit no emotional response in the person that is exposed to it, i.e.; a song you hear in an elevator and it does nothing to you, a picture on a wall that gives you the same emotional response as if the wall had been blank, a movie that chews up time. Good art will make you feel an emotion that you have felt before; you see a picture of a forest and you remember the last time you went fishing with your dad, you hear a song about love and you remember the last time you were in love. Great art will make you feel an emotion you have never felt before; seeing the pieta, the world famous sculpture by

Michelangelo, can cause someone to feel the pain of losing a child even if they’ve never had one. And when you’re trying for these emotions the easiest one to trigger is anger.

Anyone can do it. Go into the street, throw a rock at someone, you will make them angry. The emotions of love, empathy and laughter are much harder to trigger, but since they operate on a deeper level, they bring a much greater reward.

Guitar Hero World Tour (initially referred to as Guitar Hero IV) is a music video game developed by Neversoft and published by RedOctane and Activision. It is the fourth main entry in the Guitar Hero series. The game was launched in North America in October 2008 for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 consoles, and a month later for Europe and Australia.

While the game continues to feature the use of a guitar-shaped controller to simulate the playing of rock music, Guitar Hero World Tour is the first game in the Guitar Hero series to feature drum and microphone controllers for percussion and vocal parts. Gameplay is similar to the competing Rock Band series of games. The game allows users to create new songs through the “Music Studio” mode, which can then be uploaded and shared through a service known as GHTunes.

World Tour received generally positive reviews, citing the quality of the instrument controllers, the customization abilities, and improvements in the game’s difficulty compared with the previous Guitar Hero III. However, reviewers commented on issues with poorly laid-out note tracks, the limited Career modes, and the difficulty of the music creation tool and the poor quality of the resulting songs.

Best Known For:

Walter Gropius was a German architect and art educator who founded the Bauhaus school of design, which became a dominant force in architecture and the applied arts in the 20th century. Gropius taught that all design should be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. The Bauhaus school pioneered a functional, severely simple architectural style, featuring the elimination of surface decoration and extensive use of glass.

The Bauhaus school attracted many artists, including painters Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, graphic artist Käthe Kollwitz, and expressionist art groups such as Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter.

Related People:

When Gropius resigned from the Bauhaus School in 1928, architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe became the next director. Other influential Bauhaus architects included:

·         Le Corbusier

·         Richard Neutra

·         Philip Johnson

More About Walter Gropius:

Although Gropius is best known for the Bauhaus style, his architectural reputation was first established when, working with Adolph Meyer, he designed the Fagus Works (1910-1911) and the office building for the Werkbund exhibition in Cologne (1914).

After several years in England, Gropius began teaching architecture at Harvard University. As a Harvard professor, Gropius introduced Bauhaus concepts and design principles – teamwork standardization, and prefabrication – to a generation of American architects.

Between 1938 to 1941, Gropius worked on several houses with Marcel Breuer. They formed the Architects Collaborative in 1945. Among their commissions were the Harvard Graduate Center (1946), the U.S. Embassy in Athens and the University of Baghdad. One of Gropius’s later designs, in collaboration with Pietro Belluschi, was the Pam Am Building (now the Metropolitan Life Building) in New York City.

Papa roach BIO

Starting out as a punk- and rap-influenced band, the northern Californian alt-metal group Papa Roach grew into a straight-ahead hard rock ensemble with strong heavy metal leanings. Consisting of Coby Dick, Jerry Horton, Dave Buckner, and Tobin Esperance, Papa Roach formed in 1993 and began releasing EPs soon after, including 1994’s Potatoes for Christmas and 1995’s Caca Bonita. By 1996, the group replaced original bassist Will James with Esperance and hired a new manager; the following year, Papa Roach released their first full-length album, Old Friends from Young Years, which became a surprise hit on local radio. The band’s regional success led to more prominent gigs, including dates with Suicidal Tendencies, Sevendust, and Powerman 5000, and a deal with Dreamworks Records, which released Papa Roach’s second album, Infest, in early 2000. The album went triple platinum thanks to the success of the single “Last Resort.” Two years later, frontman Coby Dick opted to go by his given name of Jacoby Shaddix. A second album, lovehatetragedy, appeared in June 2002. Stylistically, the band had begun to grow beyond its rap-rock roots and the new tracks showcased a slightly more mature, melodic, and straightforward hard rock sound. That same summer the band joined a number of rap acts including Ludacris and Xzibit on Eminem‘s Anger Management Tour. In 2004, the band released their third studio effort, Getting Away with Murder. Bouyed by the success of the single “Scars,” Getting Away with Murder sold well and eventually went platinum. Two years later, Papa Roach began work on their fourth studio album at the infamous and historical Paramour mansion in Hollywood — once the home of silent movie star Antonio Moreno. Released in fall 2006, The Paramour Sessionsalso featured a heavy L.A. rock aesthetic. Heather Phares, All Music Guide.

Dio is an American heavy metal band led by vocalist Ronnie James Dio, who formed it in 1982 after leaving Black Sabbath. In an interview, available on the special edition re-release of Holy Diver, Dio states that he never intended to begin a solo career. His intention was to form a new band with fellow former Black Sabbath member drummer Vinny Appice. Naming the band Dio made sense from a commercial standpoint, as the name was already well-known at that time. Dio in Italian and Latin means “God.

Dio was formed in October 1982 in the United States.

Reportedly, guitarist Jake E. Lee very briefly played with the band Dio, but was replaced by guitarist Vivian Campbell before the recording of Holy Diver.

The band released their debut album, Holy Diver, in May 1983. It featured two hit singles, “Rainbow in the Dark” and “Holy Diver”, which gained popularity from MTV. Ronnie James Dio and Jimmy Bain played keyboards in the studio, but recruited keyboardist Claude Schnell for live shows in 1984.

Now a quintet, the band released their second studio album, The Last in Line, on July 2, 1984. It was followed by their third album, Sacred Heart, which was released on August 15, 1985. Several songs were recorded during the tour for that album.

The band released along with the studio-recorded “Time To Burn” on the Intermission mini LP. In 1985 Ronnie also wrote the song “Stars” for the Hear ‘n Aid project, with Campbell contributing on guitar.

In 1986, Campbell, citing creative differences, left the band to join Whitesnake and was replaced by Craig Goldy. On July 21, 1987 their fourth album Dream Evil was released. Goldy left in 1988, also because of musical differences. In June 1989 18 year-old Rowan Robertson was announced as Goldy’s successor but further changes were to follow, with Schnell, Bain, and Appice leaving the band.

They were replaced, respectively, with Teddy Cook, Jens Johansson, and former AC/DC drummer Simon Wright. The new band released the album Lock up the Wolves in the spring of 1990. During the tour, Ronnie had a chance meeting with former Black Sabbath bandmate Geezer Butler which led to that band’s short-lived reunion, producing one album, Dehumanizer. After this Ronnie James Dio reassembled Dio once again, retaining only Appice on the drums. By late 1994 guitarist Tracy G, keyboardist Scott Warren of Warrant and bassist Jeff Pilson had all joined. During this era, the band adopted a more modern sound, leaving many fans disappointed. As a result some fans regard the albums made during this period–1994’s Strange Highways, 1996’s Angry Machines and the live album Inferno – Last in Live–as the worst in Dio’s catalogue, while others view them positively as a step away from the outdated sound of the 1980s. Dio himself has made it clear in interviews that he intensely dislikes this point in his career (particularly the Angry Machines album) and asked Craig Goldy to return in June 1999. Reportedly, Tracy G was asked to stay as a rhythm guitarist, but declined.

Craig Goldy’s return facilitated the release of Dio’s eighth studio album in 2000, Magica, which was regarded by many as the band’s “comeback album” and reached #13 on the Billboard independent charts. It featured the return not only of Goldy but of Simon Wright and Jimmy Bain, although on the European tour Chuck Garric played bass. A concept album, Magica features a return to the band’s older, more successful sound, while increased use of keyboards gives it a modern feel. During the following tour, however, tensions rose between Goldy on the one hand and Bain and Dio on the other, as Goldy was dealing with the obligations of a family. Goldy left the band in January 2002 and was replaced with Doug Aldrich, whom Bain had met while recording a tribute album for Metallica. Because of his late arrival, Aldrich did not contribute much to Dio’s ninth work, Killing the Dragon, which was written primarily by Dio and Bain. Killing The Dragon was released in 2002 through Spitfire Records and was well received in the metal community, even reaching the overall charts in the UK. Aldrich would stay in the band until April of the following year, when he, like Campbell before him, joined Whitesnake, prompting Goldy’s return. Soon afterwards, Bain left the band.

In 2004 Dio released their tenth studio album, Master of the Moon on August 30, 2004 in Europe through SPV Records and on September 7, 2004 in the United States through Sanctuary Records, The album features multi-instrumentalist Jeff Pilson (formerly of Dokken) on bass duties; however, because of prior obligations with Foreigner, he was only available for the recording sessions, and so was replaced by Rudy Sarzo.

2005 saw the release of the Dio live album Evil or Divine – Live In New York City, which featured the same show that was released on DVD in 2003. Dio has claimed he did not have much input on this release, as he had already left the label that released it. Dio toured South America, Japan, Europe, and Russia in 2005. Their fall tour was titled “An Evening With Dio” and featured a regular set, and then a second set of the band playing his 1983 album Holy Diver in its entirety. The band was purportedly going to film a date from this show in Russia for future DVD release; however, the show on the DVD was actually filmed in London, England. The audio of this performance, a double CD named “Holy Diver Live” was released in April 2006.

In 1999, an animated spoof of Dio appeared in an episode of South Park titled “Hooked on Monkey Phonics“. The band appears performing “Holy Diver” at an elementary school dance. Although Ronnie James Dio’s appearance is somewhat like himself in reality, the rest of the band just appears as a “stereotypical” heavy metal band with no reference to the real band members.

In 2006, Dio made a brief appearance in the Tenacious D film, The Pick of Destiny. In a scene where a young Jack Black appeals to a poster of Dio for advice, Dio’s image comes to life and offers instruction. The appearance is also available on the soundtrack for the movie, in the song titled “Kickapoo”. There is also a song about Dio on Tenacious D‘s first album. The song is called Dio.

In 2007 it was announced that Black Sabbath would reunite with Dio and go under the name Heaven and Hell. This has some people debating if the band Dio will release a new album during 2008, though Dio states that his time with Heaven and Hell will end before 2008 to give him time to make another Dio album before he has anything to do with Black Sabbath again. However, Recent Press releases which cite Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell Bassist Geezer Butler as a source, suggest that Heaven And Hell are in talks with various record labels regarding a new full Studio Album for 2008, but the official Dio website have yet to comment on this.

Dio’s official website had the following to say: “If you’ve been wondering what Ronnie is up to, wonder, no longer: After taking some well-deserved time off after last year’s monster Heaven and Hell world tour, Ronnie will be heading off to the UK in March to begin writing the new Heaven and Hell record with the guys. Tony Iommi will then travel to LA to reunite with Ronnie, Geezer and Vinny to continue working on the record during April and May.

Then, Ronnie will take a break during the summer to play a few special up close and personal dates for the Dio fans. The dates are now coming together, so check the tour section for the latest info on concerts.”
