Spiderman of Superman? Watter tipe persoonlikheid is jy? Einde Oktober is Halloween en dit beteken dat baie van ons, ons gunsteling superhero uitrusting aantrek, maar wat beteken jou keuse van jou gunsteling superhero regtig? Superman: Jy is tien teen een die oudste broer of suster en die presteerder, so jy is gewoond daaraan om `n voorbeeld te stel en die druk te hanteer wat daarmee saam kom. “You’re ready to save the day”. Jy hou van lojale mense en sien altyd die beste raak in alles, behalwe mense wat van Batman hou.
Aquaman: Jou gunsteling plek om te wees is in die water, weg van mense en ver weg van jou spanmaats.
Batman: Jy hou in die geheim daarvan as Superman seerkry. Jy is `n realis wat daartoe kan neig om partykeer negatief te raak. Jy het al die ergste gesien en dit maak dat jy die lewe van vooraf weer waardeer.
Iron man: Jy is baie gewild en hou daarvan as al die superheroes pret saam het en vertrou jou instink. Jy hou van duur goed en geskenke.
Wonder Woman: Sy beteken eintlik niks vir jou nie en dit is hoekom jy besluit het op `n vrou uit die Amazone. Soos die Superman aanhangers, sien jy ook die beste raak in alles, maar jy weet mense kan verkeerd wees ook. Green Lantern: Jy het `n groen broek, dis al rede hoekom jy van die Green Lantern sal hou.
Captain America: Jy is patrioties, dus lojaal teenoor jou land en staan op vir wat jy glo, asook slim, lojaal en dapper.
Spider man: Spiderman is die “underdrog” van al die superheroes. Jy is sensitief, verantwoordelik, altyd betyds en wil altyd die regte ding doen. The Hulk: Jy word vasgevang in emosies en dit kan soms lei tot `n uitbarsting en daarom het jy spasie nodig.

Slow Food Markte - iets vir die gees Indiese kerrie, vars speserye, vars handgemaakte pasta met egte souserige sous, stadige gebakte koffie bone, donker geurvolle sjokolade, melk -en heuningterte, nat hoog geryste koeke, warm vars Franse brode, groot volkleurige vars organiese vrugte en groente, kase, plaashoenders, plaaseiers, organiese verouderde vleis. Dit is ‘n idee wat mens kry as jy dink aan plaas markte en slow food markte. Hierdie nuwe beweging is kenmerkend aan die beweging teen die gejaagde lewe van vandag. Markte bring die geurige happies van die ou dae terug. Die fees om kos te maak,
die samesyn van ‘n gesin of vriende - dié nostalgie heers by markte. Die markie trend het begin toe mense agterkom dat ons lewe te veel in die rigting beweeg van fast foods. Die slow food markie is presies wat dit sê, dit is die uitkoms van vervaardigers wat produkte groei, grootmaak, vang, oes, inlê of selfs kosse herskep. So leer die gebruiker ook hoe om die kos te proe en te deel. Dit bring nuwe betekenis aan hoe ons kos keuses die aarde beïnvloed asook die plaaslike ekonomie. Slow food markies skep geleenthede vir plaaslike boere, beboude gebiede se groente tuine om hul produkte te verkoop. Dit herlei die
gemeenskap, weg van die haastige leefstyl, na `n leefstyl wat weer waarde heg aan die dinge wat saak maak. Die Kaap bied vir ons besondere geleenthede om goeie kos en wyn bymekaar te bring. Kos wat maklik is om uit te vind waar dit vandaan kom, sonder enige kunsmatige groei metodes. Dit gee ons die kans om op `n ou manier in `n nuwe, moderne wêreld te koop, ‘n plek waar die bestandele vars is en nie vir kilometers aan gery hoef te word nie. Bestanddele wat ontstaan uit die liefde van kosmaak en die liefde van menswees. Om resepte uit te ruil, jou kos te proe, die ou langs jou se kos te proe en
te onderhandel vir ‘n goeie idee en resep, is aan die orde van die dag. Ons moedig julle aan om julle plaaslike markies uit te soek ,besoek hulle, ondersteun jou plaaslike omgewing en help om die aarde en haar opbrengste te spaar vir geslagte om te kom. Hier is net ‘n paar van die markies in die omgeweing om te besoek: Stellenbosch Slow Food Market, Woodmill Friday Night Market, Blaauwklippen Vineyards Family Market, Country Craft Market, Franschhoek Farmers Market, Moddergat Farm Market, Nitida Farmer’s Market, Riebeek West Funky Fresh Market, the Market Place, Windmeul Farmer’s Market.

Children and oral care The importance of dental care is often overlooked; not only in childhood but through adulthood as well. This negligence affects not only the health of your teeth, but also their appearance. Preventative dentistry for children is the best way to ensure healthy teeth-everybody wants shiny pearly whites! The pain associated with dentists that children learn to fear has been removed from the field, thus ensuring that children do not worry when their biannual appointment looms. Below we list a few ways in which to ensure that your child has a positive attitude towards dental care to guarantee a lifelong bright smile. 1. Choose a child-savvy dentist There are dentists with additional training and interest in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dental issues. Look specifically for a paediatric dentist; alternatively find a dentist with a positive attitude and happy staff to make sure that your child has a good experience. 2. Get acquainted with the place Before the time of the appointment, take your child to the office to get acquainted

with the practice. Or bring them with you on your appointment so that they can get used to the idea and the atmosphere. 3. How do you feel about the dentist? If you as a parent have any negative memories or associations with the dentist; put them aside so that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass them on to your child. Allow your child to have a positive experience. 4. Respect the baby teeth Even though baby teeth are lost, proper care of them ensures the health of â&#x20AC;&#x153;big teethâ&#x20AC;? and the growing jaw. Your dentist might even have suggestions for your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dental care that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have when you were young. Ask about fluoride that will help protect baby teeth from tooth decay and the permanent teeth busy developing. 5. Routine, routine, routine You only see your dentist twice a year; which makes maintaining good oral health at home the other 363 days of the utmost importance. Here are some suggestions: â&#x20AC;˘Children must brush twice a day- after breakfast and before bed. Try supervising
With this self help remedy kit you can experience rsthand a gentle but eďŹ&#x20AC;ective way of healing your children. Free from side eďŹ&#x20AC;ects, homeopathy is perfectly suited for everyday minor, acute complaints which can be safely dealt with at home. This handy combination of remedy-kit & guide can be kept in easy reach at home or on holiday.
brushings for children under seven years old. â&#x20AC;˘Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to avoid scraping gums and get a new toothbrush every 3 months at least. â&#x20AC;˘Put a timer for two minutes in the bathroom and only stop brushing when the timer goes off. This is the best time according to dental recommendations. â&#x20AC;˘Get some sort of fluoride- either toothpaste, mouthwash, rinse, Zymaflore etc. â&#x20AC;˘Avoid decay and cavities by avoiding sugary foods and drinks. Good dental care at home, coupled with a healthy relationship with your dentist will lead to your child having a healthy smile for the rest of their life.

1. Dit begin by jou gene: Jou risiko op kanker word deur jou leefstyl, omgewing en gene bepaal. Daarom is dit goed dat die familie van iemand met borskanker soos â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n ma, suster, niggie of tannie hul risiko met toetse uitpluis. 2. Skep â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n kankervrye leefstyl: Jou leefstyl maak â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n ongelooflike verskil aan jou vermoĂŤ om kanker vry te spring of te hanÂŹteer. Dit maak mens bekommerd hoe baie mense feite ignoreer soos dat rokers se risiko op longkanker verhoog, of dat aartappelskyfies â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n groot hoeÂŹveelÂŹheid van die sterk kankerwekker, akrielÂŹÂŹamied, bevat en dat kleefplastiek waarÂŹskynlik nadelige stowÂŹwe vrystel in die kos wat daarÂŹdeur bedek word.

Adenoid Surgery in Children Dr. A.C. van Lierop
Adenoids are small glands in the throat at the back of the nose. They are there to fight germs in younger children. We believe that after the age of about three years, the adenoids are no longer needed. Your body can still fight germs without your adenoids. We only take them out if they are doing more harm than good.

Adenoid surgery is very safe, but bleeding may occur which may need a second operation to stop it. However, bleeding after adenoidectomy is very uncommon.

Movember in November It’s the month that most women despise when men grow moustaches to raise awareness for men’s health. For the entire month, these selfless and generous men known as Mo Bros, effectively become walking, talking billboards for 30 days. Through their growing efforts they raise awareness for the often ignored issues of men’s health, by prompting conversations wherever they go.
Movember’s not just for men. The women of Movember, are known as Mo Sistas. They play a vital role in the success of Movember by supporting and encouraging the men in their life to get involved. Are you growing your moustache for Movember? Go to www.awsum.co.za and vote!
Sometimes children have adenoids so big that they have a blocked nose, so that they have to breathe through their mouths. They snore at night. Some children even stop breathing for a few seconds while they are asleep. The adenoids can also cause ear problems by stopping the tube, which joins your nose to your ear from working properly. For children removing the adenoid at the same time as putting grommets in the ears seems to help stop the glue ear coming back. Removing the adenoids may also make colds that block the nose less of

Wenke wat die skryf van eksamen makliker maak Margot Malan Oktober en November is vir die meeste van ons “eksamentyd”. Eksamen stres en studiemetodes beïnvloed beslis ons uitslae. Is jy voorbereid vir die eksamen? Voldoende voorbereiding sluit 3 komponente in. Verstandelike voorbereiding beteken dat jy jou werk ken. Stel ‘n studieskedule op, 3 weke voor die eksamen en spandeer genoeg tyd aan elke vak. Fisiese voorbereiding beteken dat jy genoeg eet en slaap. Moenie meer kafeïne en suiker inneem as gewoonlik nie. Kry genoeg rus en oefening en hou jou lewe gebalanseer. Emosionele voorbereiding beteken dat jy strategieë het om jou angstigheid te beheer. Berei goed voor, moenie deurnag studeer nie en gebruik positiewe selfspraak om angs teen te werk.
Praktiese wenke: Probeer aanpassings in medikasie vermy tydens die eksamen. Werk vooraf vraestelle deur en sorg dat jy betyds is. Maak seker dat jy genoeg van die regte skryfbehoeftes saamneem. Maak seker dat jy die korrekte vraestel ontvang het. Lees die vraestel noukeurig deur. Let veral op na die hoeveelheid vrae wat jy moet beantwoord en onderstreep al die werkwoorde, sodat jy weet wat verwag word. Beplan rofweg die struktuur van jou antwoord. Skryf duidelik en leesbaar en nommer jou vrae korrek. Begin elke nuwe afdeling op ‘n nuwe blad. Skryf soveel moontlik, maar onthou die kwaliteit van die antwoord as geheel word bepunt. Pas jou kennis toe. Gebruik die vereiste formaat bv. ‘n opstel, ‘n program, ‘n oorsig, ‘n berekening ens. Gee al jou antwoord boeke/addendums/bylaes in. Moenie Paniekerig raak nie. As jy “blank” slaan, ontspan en vra jouself wat jy wel weet – skryf dit neer. Sterkte aan julle almal. Opvoedkundige Sielkundige Pret en Leer Opvoedkundige Sentrum Paarl Tel: 021 872 9299

Op jou mooiste: 5 praktiese Stop die horlosie! grimeerwenke Toe Bobbi Brown onlangs hul nuwe produkte in Kaapstad bekend gestel het, het die internasionale grimeerkunstenaar Eliano Bou Assi ’n paar goeie wenke met ons gedeel. Eliano is deur Bobbi Brown self opgelei en reis regoor die wêreld om sy grimeerkennis te deel. Hier is ’n paar van sy beste wenke: 1. Poeier is nie gemaak om kleur aan jou gesig te gee nie. Dit moet bloot jou onderlaag set. Wend ’n tikkie poeier net aan op dié dele van jou gesig waar jy geneig is om te blink. 2. Wanneer jy ’n oogomlyner gebruik, is daar drie belangrike reëls om te onthou: a. Die oogomlyner moet donkerder as die kleur van jou oë wees. b. Wend dit so na moontlik aan jou wimperlyn aan. c. Die lyn moet dik genoeg wees sodat jy
dit sien wanneer jou oë oop is. 3. As jy oogomlyner en oogskadu sáám gebruik, moet een van die produkte ’n neutrale kleur wees. Moenie ’n kleurryke oogskadu saam met ’n kleurryke omlyner gebruik nie. 4. Blosser moet altyd natuurlik op jou wange lyk. As jy ’n ligte veltoon het, gebruik blosser met ’n ligte skakering. Jy kan ’n donkerder skakering gebruik as jy ’n donkerder veltoon het. 5. Moenie ’n oogpotlood gebruik om jou wenkbroue in te kleur nie, want dit kan maklik soos ’n tatoeëermerk lyk. Gebruik eerder oogskadu. Die oogskadu moet dieselfde kleur as die wortels van jou hare wees. deur SARIE.com-span
Why is it important to plan nutritional meals? 9-15 October is National Nutritional Week to create awareness of the importance of nutritional meals. Healthy eating can stabilize children’s energy, sharpen their minds, and even out their moods. By encouraging healthy eating habits now, you can make a huge impact on your children’s lifelong relationship with food. Top tips to promote healthy childhood eating 1.Have regular family meals. Knowing dinner is served at approximately the same time every night and that the entire family will be sitting down together is comforting
and enhances appetite. 2. Cook more meals at home. Eating home cooked meals is healthier for the whole family and sets a great example for kids about the importance of food. 3. Get kids involved. Children enjoy helping adults to shop for groceries, selecting what goes in their lunch box, and preparing dinner. 4. Make a variety of healthy snacks available instead of empty calorie snacks 5. Limit portion sizes. Don’t insist your child cleans the plate, and never use food as a reward or bribe.

proteïene in jou vel, wat ’n proses genaamd glikosering tot gevolg het. Dit is die interaksie tussen suiker en kollageen, wat die struktuur van jou vel se kollageen afbreek.”
“Selfs al is jy nie geneties geneig om lyntjies en plooie weens sonblootstelling te kry nie, moet jy steeds versigtig wees,” waarsku dr. Daniel Maes, senior vise-president van Estée Lauder: navorsing en ontwikkeling wêreldwyd.
Volgens Dr. Maes het suikers ook ’n effek op die vel se ensieme wat jou beskerm teen vry radikale. Só word jou selle meer vatbaar vir besoedeling en sonskade.
“Al het jou ma ’n goeie vel op 70, beteken dit nie jy kan die son sonder beskerming aandurf nie.”
Skadetelling: 7/10
Dermatoloog Izolda Heydenrych van Kaapstad stem saam: “Ultravioletstrale lei tot die vorming van vry radikale, wat veroudering tot gevolg het. Die kollageen in jou vel ondergaan kruisverbindings, wat die soepelheid van die vel verminder. Sonskade verlaag ook jou vel se natuurlike weerstand.” Jou suikertand Skadetelling: 8/10 Jou voorliefde vir soetgoed ís toe een van jou stoutste plesiere! ’n Lus vir lekkernye kan jare by jou voorkoms voeg, glo dr. Maes. “By Estée Lauder het ons ontdek verfynde suikers en geprosesseerde kosse wat baie koringstroop bevat, is nadelig vir jou vel. Geprosesseerde suikers reageer met die
Stres
Jou vel is soos ’n spieël wat alles weerkaats wat binne jou aangaan – ook wanneer jy gespanne is. “Jou leefwyse het ’n geweldige invloed op jou vel,” sê dr. Maes. “Spanning bring voortydige veroudering mee en kan jou immuunstelsel aftakel.” Hy verduidelik daar is twee soorte stres: akute en chroniese stres. “Akute stres sit inflammatoriese reaksies soos rooiheid aan die gang en dit lei tot voortydige veroudering. Chroniese stres is langdurige spanning wat veroorsaak word as gevolg van situasies soos egskeiding en finansiële probleme. Dis ernstiger, aangesien dit jou immuunstelsel beïnvloed en jou meer vatbaar maak vir siektes.” deur Mariska van Rooyen

Stellies wen interskole
Die 0/13A-rugbyspan van Laerskool Stellenbosch het die seisoen op‘n hoogtepunt afgesluit met hul 32-0 oor-winning tydens die interskole teen Laerskool Hermanus. Op die foto verskyn die wenspan saam met hul twee afrigters, mnre Jacques Horne en Francois Gerber en die skoolhoof, mnr. Hawkie de Villiers.
Onnies vier Loslitdag Die tema vir Loslitdag op Vrydag 6, September was: “Gaan Groot”. Jy kon enigiets groot dra van groot skoene en groot pruike tot groot brille. Die geld wat ingesamel is, is aan Huis Horison, geskenk. Natuurlik het Stellies nie op hulle laat wag nie en hierdie kans om civvies te dra goed benut deur ‘n plakker te koop en groot te gaan! Hier is van ons Onnies wat lekker saamgespeel het en soos altyd die leerders verras het deur snaakse kostuums te dra. Ons het ‘n stewige bedrag van R5000 ingesamel. Dankie vir almal se bydrae.
Laerskool Stellenbosch se o/13 A-netbalspan het met ’n oorwinning van 22-9 teen Laerskool Hermanus gespog. Op die foto is die twee netbalspanne.
Ons hoofleiers vir 2014 Hier is Rochán Simonis (hoofdogter), Alex Aldrich (hoofseun), Alet Müller (onderhoofdogter) en Auret Lochner (onderhoofseun). Hierdie hoofleiers was tot dusver vanjaar ware ambassadeurs vir Laerskool Stellenbosch. Hul leierskap was uiters waardevol vir die skool. Die redes vir hulle sukses as hoofleiers is beslis die feit dat hulle besondere waardes nastreef, oor positiewe geaardhede beskik en altyd regverdig en empaties optree. Dit is werklik ‘n voorreg om sulke jongmense te onderrig en te sien hoe hulle uitstyg as toekomstige leiers van ons land.
Revue 2013
Jongste skaakspeler Op sesjarige ouderdom neem Lisa Brugman deel as o/8-speler en eindig tweede in die Boland Kampioenskappe vir dogters. Sy wen onder andere die DSK Grand Prix Toernooi vir seuns en dogters, die Manyanani Grand Prix Toernooi vir dogters, die Steinitz Grand Prix Toernooi vir dogters en sy is dus die jongste dogter wat Suid-Afrika verteenwoordig in die Common-wealth Skaakkampioenskap. Sy speel teen alle ouderdomspanne in hierdie toernooi en wen 2.5 wedstryde.
Baie geluk!
Die hoogtepunt van die derde kwartaal by Laerskool Stellenbosch was ongetwyfeld die Revue. ‘n Revue van so ‘n omvang, waar 630 leerders van die skool deelneem, verg baie kundigheid maar veral entoesiasme van leerders, personeel en ouers. Met hierdie produksie is die uitdaging van so ‘n reuse poging aangegryp en het die opgewondenheid van die leerders geen perke geken nie. Die motivering van Hoera
Tennis Die Curro Tennis toernooi is op 5-7 September in Durbanville gehou. Oor die algemeen het ons vier spanne (seuns A,B en dogters A,B) goeie resultate behaal. Daar het agt skole se seunsspanne en ons B-Span het sewende gekom. Die seuns A-span het ons verras en tweede gekom nadat hulle teen in die finale Grey verloor. Daar het ses skole se dogterspanne deelgeneem en ons B-span het vierde gekom. Ons is baie trots op ons meisies A-span wat die toernooi gewen het. Baie geluk aan al die spanne wat gespeel het.
Rentia Meyer lewer praatjie Rentia Meyer ’n leerder van Laerskool Stellenbosch is deur die Kogleêre Inplantingseenheid van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch se Mediese Fakulteit uitgenooi om op Vrydag, 6 September, by die Carel du Toit Sentrum by Tygerberg Hospitaal ‘n praatjie te kom lewer. Dit het gehandel oor haar ervarings en aanpassing in ‘n hoofstroomskool, as ’n kind met ‘n gehoorgestremdheid. As deel van Dowe Bewustheidsmaand is so ‘n inligtingsdag gereël vir professionele mense om hulle meer bewus te maak van sosiale en emosionele aanpassings van gehoorgestremde kinders in ‘n hoofstroomskool. Die gehoor het bestaan uit dokters, spesialiste, arbeids- en spraakterapeute, oudioloë, onderwysers en ander professionele mense.
Clara en Wiaan presteer by WOW spelkompetisie Ons leerders het hierdie jaar weer aan die jaarlikse WOW-spelkompetisie deelgeneem. In hierdie kompetisie moet deelnemers woorde spel en skryf, of soos die hoofbeoordelaar sê: “krabbel en babbel”. Tydens die Stellenbosse Kringkompetisie het 8 Stellies deurgedring na die Distriks rondte. In dié rondte het hulle met die 7 wenners van die ander distrikte meegeding en senuwees van staal getoon. Wiaan Janse van Rensburg het ‘n eerste plek in gr. 5 behaal en Clara Dudley ‘n tweede plek in gr. 6. Hulle het op 21 September aan die provinsiale kompetisie deelgeneem en onderskeidelik „n 12de en 4de plek behaal.
vir die Lekker Lag Dag, lê beslis in die feit dat daar soveel talentvolle leerders is, maar ook in die opvoedkundige waarde wat so ‘n produksie aan kinders bied. Dit was vanaf dag een duidelik in die wyse waarop ons kinders met entoesiasme en oorgawe geoefen het dat hulle hierdie leerervaring geniet. Die opoffering van ‘n talentvolle en entoesiastiese produksiespan het die sukses van die produksie verseker. Die
personeel en ouers se bydrae sonder wie se hulp en ondersteuning hierdie produksie nie moontlik sou wees nie, was enorm. Elke leerder wat deelgeneem het, kan die woorde van Sam Ewing onthou: “Sukses het ‘n eenvoudige formule, doen jou bes en mense sal daarvan hou.” Dit was vir my opvallend hoe die kinders elke oomblik op die verhoog geniet het. Hierdie skouspel sal deur deelnemers en toeskouers nog lank onthou word.

Laerskool Hendrik Louw
Laerskool Hendrik Louw se nuwe nasorg fasiliteite Laerskool Hendrik Louw het op Dinsdag 1 Oktober die nuwe uitbreidings aan hulle nasorg fasiliteite en Grade RR en R klaskamers in gebruik geneem toe die skoolhoof, Lewellin Brown, en die voorsitter van die beheerraad, Alida Kruger, amptelik die linte geknip het. Al 130 voorskoolse leerders het die funksie bygewoon, die skoollied gesing en ballonne losgelaat. Die skool se leerdertal groei op die oomblik en die beheerraad het besluit om vir die 2de keer in 4 jaar die skool se geriewe te vergoot. Daar is plek vir 250 leerders in die baie goeie nasorgsentrum waar ‘n leerder
‘n volle pakket van etes, huiswerkklasse en baie goeie toesig ontvang (skoolvakansies ook). ‘n Werkende ouer kan met groot gemoedsrus hul kind soggens by die skool aflaai en weer laatmiddag kom haal, wetend dat alle Louwtjie nasorg leerders baie goeie versorging geniet. Tans is daar 110 leerders in 4 graad R klasse en 20 leerders in een graad RR klas. Die beplanning is om dié deel van die skool volgende jaar uit te brei. Die volledige opgradering en mooimaak van die speelterrein is ‘n projek wat oor die volgende
jaar afgehandel sal word via oueraksies sodat die area een van die mees kind-vriendelike in die Helderberg gaan wees. Die twee Engelse klasse vir 2014 is reeds vol met nog enkele plekke vir leerders ouderdom 5 of 6 in die Afrikaanse klasse. Dit is vir die skool ‘n voorreg om die puik fasiliteite aan die voorskoolse ouers en leerders van die Helderberg-kom beskikbaar te stel.

Movie Review: Battle of the Year - PG13 In the 1970s, a new form of urban dance known as breakdancing began to emerge among African-American and Puerto Rican youth in New York City. It incorporated rhythmic dance moves that combined flips, spins and jaw-dropping physical feats more akin to gymnastics than dance. Gradually, breakdancing—part sport, part art— spread across America and around the world. Practitioners came to be known as b-boys, and by 1990, an international, Olympic-like competition to identify the world’s best b-boy “crews” was established. It’s called Battle of the Year. Battle of the Year, the movie, offers fans of b-boying (as breakdancing is now commonly called) a fictionalized take on that actual competition, albeit one that includes real-world competitors and footage from director Benson Lee’s previous documentary on breakdancing, Planet B-Boy. Cast: Josh Holloway as Jason ‘WB’ Blake; Laz Alonso as Dante Graham; Josh Peck as Franklyn; Caity Lotz as Stacy; Chris Brown as Rooster; Jon ‘Do Knock’ Cruz as Do Knock; Ivan ‘Flipz’ Velez as Flipz; Anis Cheurfa as Anis; Jesse ‘Casper’ Brown as Rebel; Sawandi Wilson as Sniper; Richard Maguire as Lil Adonis
The ultimate gift - PG In 2007, The Ultimate Gift introduced us to Red Stevens, a deceased Texas oilman whose last wish was to bequeath his multibillion-dollar trust fund to an heir who wouldn’t squander it—someone who would prove a worthy, noble steward of that massive inheritance. The ultimate recipient? His grandson, Jason Stevens, who first has to pass a series of character tests administrated by his grandfather’s lifelong friend and lawyer, Ted Hamilton. While on that journey out of self-absorption, Jason falls in love with Alexia Drummond, whose beautiful daughter, Emily, is dying of cancer. The Ultimate Life picks up three years later. Jason and Alexia’s love has deepened following Emily’s tragic death. Alexia wants to believe things are moving toward marriage. And they are … if Jason can ever find the time to actually propose to her amid his never-ending responsibilities running the Stevens Foundation. What Jason doesn’t know is that absent such a proposal, Alexia has increasingly felt convicted to put her nursing skills to work … in Haiti. Jason does get around to at least trying to pop the question, but at the very moment of emotional impact, he’s served legal notice that his role as the head of the Stevens Foundation is being challenged by one of Red’s sons, Billy, whom the old oilman didn’t deem a fit heir. Cue more melodrama … and cue Alexia’s exit to Haiti. When tragedy jolts Red into seeing he’s spent too many years investing in thewrong legacy, it proves to be a lesson Jason needs to hear too if he’s hopes to win Alexia’s heart back once more. Cast: Drew Waters as Red Stevens; James Garner as Old Red Stevens; Austin James as Young Red Stevens; Bill Cobbs as Ted Hamilton; Bechir Sylvain as Young Ted Hamilton; Logan Bartholomew as Jason Stevens; Ali Hillis as Alexia Drummond.
Game Review: Planes - PG Nintendo & Wii Dusty Crophopper knows his job. And it’s a good one. But in this world of living, breathing cars, planes, trucks and trains, he dreams of being so much more than simply a plane that dusts farm fields with vilesmelling vitaminimulch. He wants to dive and cut, swoop and soar. Well … maybe not soar so much because he’s, ahem, just a little afraid of heights. But he wants to really fly. He wants to be better. Dusty longs to fly among the P-51s and turboprops, zooming off in the renowned Wings Around the Globe air race. He also knows it’s not going to be a glide in the park. There are plenty of aerodynamic reasons why he shouldn’t be able to compete. Puppeteer - 10+ Playstation 3 Every once in a while gamemakers surprise us by unveiling a colorful amusement that’s creative and more than just a little quirky. And even less often than that they also inject a certain unique something into the gameplay mechanics that pushes the fun from “novel and fresh” right up the scale to “just this side of brilliant.” Puppeteer is just such an every so often game. Set in a Japanese puppet theater—with rich velvety curtains and thump-in-place wood and cardboard set pieces—it has a fairy-tale-like story at its core. The game is an interactive stage play of sorts, a show that features magical happenings and an otherworld of wistful dreams. It’s the adventure of a puppet named Kutaro. Pikmin 3 - 10+ Wii What do you do when your little home world’s resources are tapped out and there’s a serious shortage of food? Well, we earthlings might wring our hands and notify cable news. But on Pikmin 3’s planet of Koppai, it’s time to take action. So this humanoid civilization sends a space crew of three—the stalwart captain Charlie, first mate Alph and brainiac botanist Brittany—to the outer reaches of their galaxy, heading for a green orb they’ve spotted and labeled PNF-404. This hopeful planet is a place with just the right environment and food resources to support all those worried people of Koppai. But, oops, an unexpected accident upon entry into the planet’s atmosphere leaves the three crew mates stranded on the alien surface.
Disney Infinity - 10+ Xbox, Playstation 3 & Wii Disney Infinity starts with a floating spark. It’s an ember of imagination that gathers other little glimmers as it begins piecing together―with a wand-waving, soaring, musical charm―a whole host of colorful Disney characters that we all recognize. There’s Wreck-It Ralph with his oversized galumphy fists and Woody straddling his faithful stead Bullseye. Jack Skellington waves at us, dressed in his boney best, and the smiling speedster Lightning McQueen salutes with a rev of his engine. Rapunzel sighs and Mr. Incredible flexes. And, of course, Mickey Mouse looks out over it all with a knowing royal grin. And that, in a simple introductory reel, is Disney Interactive Studios’ wish-upon-a-star goal: to give House of Mouse fans a magical bedspread on which they can unfold worlds and set up adventures with a toy box full of characters to play with. For the Mickster understands that if you give kids (or those who are still kids at heart) a box full of toys, they’ll build up quests full of childlike joy and jump-and-run glee. Then they’ll knock everything down and start all over again. Oh, but you may not have heard his squeaky mouse voice mention, with the music swelling so grandly behind him, that your piggy bank will feel the full weight of filling your fabled toy chest. (And we’ll talk about that more in a bit.)
