Riding a horse while showing more skin than the classic 1950 animated character ever revealed, this new image of Rella is just the first indication of the changes that Disney has in store.
Disney states that the look, crafted by "Cinderella" director Kenneth Branagh, honors the tradition of the iconic princess while giving it a new spin of Branagh's own, according to a statement released on Monday.
"She combines knockout beauty with intelligence, wit, fun, and physical grace," Branagh says of the Lily James version.
Best known as Lady Rose MacClare on "Downton Abbey," James's Rella has flowing blonde hair and wears a dress that looks somewhat similar to the animated Cinderella's ball gown. Cinderella's outfit also shows off some ... wait for it ... cleavage! And no, the original Disney character didn't come close to showing as much.

Seen gamboling through a field on horseback, Cinderella looks to be a strong and capable horsewoman — an aspect of the character that hasn't been seen much of in the past. Overall, the image suggests that while this "Cinderella" will still be a period piece, it will give its leading character a more modern and independent streak than Cinderellas of yore.

In spite of Cinderella's updates — which include a name change — Branagh plans to honor our favorite moments from the '50s animated feature. "It is impossible to think of Cinderella without thinking of Disney and the timeless images we’ve all grown up watching. And those classic moments are irresistible to a filmmaker," he says.
Matching the updated look, the first official synopsis included in Disney's statement reveals that Branagh and screenwriter Chris Weitz ("About A Boy" and "The Golden Compass") are giving the beloved fairy tale a few modernish twists. In their version, Cinderella begins the story as Ella. Her new name is actually a mean-spirited insult given to her by her Stepmother (played by Cate Blanchett), who turns her into a lowly servant after the death of her mother.
While riding through the woods, Ella meets a handsome stranger who she believes works at the nearby Royal Palace. It turns out, he's really the charming Prince (Richard Madden of "Game of Thrones"), which certainly puts a different spin on their romance. And when Ella is prevented from attending a ball at the Palace by her hard-hearted stepmother and ill-mannered sisters (Holliday Grainger and Sophie McShera), she's given some unexpected help by an elderly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) — who turns out to be more than Ella could ever imagine. Can you say Fairy Godmother?
"Cinderella" is currently scheduled to dance into theaters on March 13, 2015.

The Southern Staple Everyone Should Know How to Make
HOMEMADE PIMENTO CHEESE
Spread this on anything for a zippy, tangy, creamy boost.
Why This Recipe Works: The first few attempts were missing something. After a bit more research, we found several versions of this dish that benefit from a small shot of pickle juice because of its vinegary, sour flavor. This recipe needs a lot of stirring before the mixture starts to resemble pimento cheese, but don't give up if it's looking dry; after some vigorous stirring, the cheese and liquid ingredients start to combine and smooth out. But don't overmix and make it too smooth--those small, cheesy lumps are what gives pimento cheese its characteristic texture.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
¾ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
2½ tablespoons pimento chiles
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon pickle juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Using fork, stir vigorously until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Southern recipes galore in the Complete Cook's Country TV Show Cookbook
This perfect party food requires only 7 ingredients.
Sharp cheddar cheese is used in essentially every recipe for pimento cheese. We cut its sharpness with Monterey Jack, which is mild and zesty at the same time. It's the perfect contrast with cheddar, whose sharpness can easily overwhelm this spread if not reined in by a more mellow cheese.
Pimento chiles are available at every grocery store. This mild chile pepper is small, round, and sweet.
Pickle juice is the secret ingredient. This dish benefits from a small shot of its vinegary, sour flavor.
It takes a bunch of stirs before the mixture starts to resemble pimento cheese. But don't give up if it's looking dry; after some vigorous stirring, the cheese and liquid ingredients start to combine and smooth out. But don't overmix and make it too smooth--those small, cheesy lumps are what gives pimento cheese its characteristic texture.
Pimento cheese is traditionally paired with crackers (saltines or Ritz crackers) or white bread. It also makes a mean grilled cheese, as a burger topping, or mixed into scrambled eggs.

Homemade ChipWITCHES
Ingredients:
¾ cup salted butter, room temperature
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup unsulphured molasses
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ cup crystalized ginger, chopped
1 cup granulated white sugar
½ teaspoon coarse salt
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 pint Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream
Mini chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cream the butter and the brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses, egg, and vanilla and beat until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, spices and crystalized ginger and stir well. Add half of the dry mixture to the wet and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining half of the dry ingredients and repeat. Once the dough is ready, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Combine the white sugar and the coarse salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle some of the sugar and salt mixture onto your work surface. Roll the dough out to ¼ inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or a biscuit cutter that is 3.5" in diameter. You should be able to cut at least 12 cookies out of the dough. Sprinkle the cookies with more of the sugar and salt mixture, and bake for 12 minutes.
Once the cookies have cooled, remove the ice cream from the freezer. Use a serrated knife to cut ½ inch thick slices (cut through both the container and the ice cream!). Peel the paper away from the ice cream and cut each disc of ice cream in half. Layer one ½ slice of vanilla ice cream and ½ slice of Phish Food together to create a circle on top of a cookie. Top the ice cream with another cookie, and roll the ice cream sandwich in the chocolate chips to coat the edges.
Put the sandwiches back in the freezer to refreeze before serving.
Serves 6

Kaleidoskop Luar Negeri 2011
Banyak peristiwa bersejarah yang tercatat sepanjang tahun 2011. Buron paling dicari AS, Osama bin Laden tewas dalam penggerebekan di Pakistan. Di tahun ini pula, AS secara resmi menghentikan perang Irak. Tahun 2011 juga merupakan tahun demokrasi di kawasan Timur Tengah dengan tumbangnya kekuasaan yang selama ini dianggap tiran seperti di Tunisia, Mesir, Suriah dan Libya. Selain itu, dunia untuk pertama kalinya mencatat 7 miliar penduduk. Pernikahan Kerajaan Inggris antara Pangeran William dan Kate Middleton mungkin menjadi pernikahan paling akbar tahun ini. Kabar sedihnya adalah menatian Steve Jobs, pendiri Apple, yang terkenal jenius dengan prudk inovatifnya. Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, ada yang lahir, menikah, meninggal, dan ada yang harus berubah.Sumber : http://infografis.kompas.com/read/2011/12/29/225143/Kaleidoskop.Luar.Negeri.2011
Gunung Berapi di Antara Pesona Keindahan
Siapa yang tidak mengenal pulau Bali yang tersohor karena keindahan alam dan budayanya. Begitu juga dengan pulau Lombok yang dikelilingi pantai-pantai indah. Pada dua pulau tersebut menjulang gunung berapi
yang menambah daya tarik alam sekitarnya, meski bahaya tetap mengintip dari dalam bumi. Kali ini Kompas ekspedisi Cincin Api akan mengulik tiga gunung berapi di Bali dan Lombok; Agung, Batur, dan Rinjani.

Evolusi Gunung-gunung Api di Jawa Timur
Secara fisiografis, wilayah Provinsi Jawa Timur dapat dikelompokkan dalam tiga zona: zona selatan (plato), zona tengah (gunung berapi), dan zona utara (lipatan). Dari ketiga kelompok tersebut, dataran rendah dan dataran tinggi pada bagian tengah (dari Ngawi, Blitar, Malang, hingga Bondowoso) merupakan tanah-tanah yang subur. Dari kesuburan tanah itu juga tersimpan bencana yang sewaktu-waktu dapat menimpa
masyarakat yang tinggal di daerah sekitarnya, yaitu bencana meletusnya gunung-gunung yang membujur di tengah Pulau Jawa dari timur sampai barat. Berkah dari kesuburan itu pula yang menjadikan wilayah-wilayah tersebut pusat pemerintahan dan peradaban sejak zaman kerajaan-kerajaan Nusantara, kolonialisme sampai sekarang. Masyarakat pun sudah hidup bertahun-tahun berdampingan dengan alam yang menghidupi sekaligus menghancurkan. Segala siasat untuk mencegah "murka" gunung-gunung pun telah lama dilakukan. Bangunan-bangunan candi untuk persembahan kepada Dewa Gunung sampai rekayasa teknologi banyak ditemukan di beberapa gunung ini.

Gunung yang Lahir Kembali
Krakatau adalah legenda tersohor dengan gaungnya tak pernah pudar hingga kini. Anak Krakatau terus bertambah tinggi dengan diiringi aktivitas vulkanik yang rutin. Gunung yang terletak di Selat Sunda ini pernah 
meletus dahsyat tahun 1883 yang menghancurkan gunung Krakatau sendiri. Saat itu yang diingat adalah lontaran material yang berjumlah besar dan gelombang tsunami setinggi 36 meter. Korban jiwa saat itu mencapai 36.000 orang, dengan tak terhitung kerugian materi. Krakatau kini melahirkan Anak Krakatau, dan ancaman letusan dahsyat satu abad silam masih mengintai dari dasar bumi.
