The show has reached its finale week.
The top three contestants - Ripudaman Handa, Doyal Sarangi and Navneet Rastogi - are ready for their final league, and the challenges now put before them will be much tougher compared to previous ones.
The three actors visited the set of the show to cheer and support the contestants in their last challenge before the finale.
Shabbir came in support for Navneet, Gurmeet gave a strong hand to Ripudaman and Pratyusha stood by Doyal's side.
"I am very grateful to Gurmeet for supporting me and appreciating my cooking," said Ripudaman.
The competition is tough this time, and it won't be easy to choose a winner, says one of the reality show's judge, chef Kunal Kapoor. He co-judges the show with Sanjeev Kapoor and Vikas Khanna.
"Choosing India's very own masterchef is no easy task, it's an important decision and the one who fights hard and proves their mettle by presenting the best dish will be the true 'Masterchef Kitchen ka Superstar'," Kapoor said in a statement.

Red-White Game Photos
22 comments:
These uni's are not up to par.
1) Black is not one of our school colors. So it shouldn't be outlining our letters and numbers.
2) CORNELL should be printed larger.
3) CU on the shorts? Really? Every single athletic team is represented by a C except the baseball team. They should have a) left it blank or b) put a C.
Our team deserved better.

Uniforms are perfect. Tarwater is beast. All-ivy as senior with cont progress.
- October 23, 2011 at 12:28 AM
I was wondering from those earlier practice photos who was in the #1 jersey. Cancer was #2 on the roster. Not important; just confusing when the roster and jersey numbers don't match.
- October 23, 2011 at 1:42 AM
Disagree. The unis looked great on the boys. Black is a neutral color and perfect for outlining--it's not like they're wearing black unis with red letters or anything.
They looked new, smart, and professional. You could nitpick any uniform, but these look much more modern and current than the prior iterations.
- October 23, 2011 at 8:16 AM
Yea, objectively, these are better than previous jerseys. But they could have done better. I guess it just depends on your expectation levels.
- October 23, 2011 at 11:11 AM
IMHO, the uni update was like the website update -- better, but just not that great. But neither is as important or tragic than our apparent lack of frontcourt remedies.
- October 23, 2011 at 11:16 AM
You guys are nuts. These stink
- October 23, 2011 at 11:28 AM
who cares less about unis. put em in 1950s unis...just win!
- October 23, 2011 at 2:55 PM
Just because "CU" is in our fight song doesn't mean it should be on our shorts.
I wish the uniforms didn't look so generic. Someone literally made them here: http://classic.niketeam.com
- October 23, 2011 at 5:26 PM
yeah have to agree, who cares about uniforms, just win
- October 23, 2011 at 8:13 PM
where are the reports about the game
- October 23, 2011 at 8:14 PM
The uniforms retain some of the classic Cornell look with a little modern update. Not ugly. Not spectacular. At least they didn't follow the Maryland & Oregon style guide.
Cornell Baseball uses CU on their caps. Can't think of any other team who does. Don't mind the CU on the shorts but would have left it off all together.
I'll agree that I'm more concerned with how the team looks playing the game.
- October 23, 2011 at 9:14 PM
I saw the first half. The most alarming aspect of the event were the 5 injured players, most notably Peck and Groebe. Not sure when they'll be ready to play. The team is small without a dominating front court presence. Tarwater, however, played very well. The guards can shoot, and Ferry hit 3 threes in a row within about a minute and a half.
I have no clue how the season will go, but the big guys have to step up.
- October 23, 2011 at 9:42 PM
I never like uniform changes, but in particular I am sorry to see the Nike logo. Nike has a very poor record of labor practices overseas, and I am sorry to see colleges getting into the commercial world of advertising and the granting of naming rights.
- October 23, 2011 at 10:02 PM
Here's a fairly generic report:
White team shot well, and had more layups overall. Got early lead and kept it. Ferry had 3 threes early and had around 15 pts on 5 threes. Wroblewski and Tarwater each had double figure points. Tomic had 6 or 8 pts on layups. Cancer had 4 pts on 2 layups I recall and a few assists. Don't think Jamal Cherry scored. Figini probably had around 8 pts.
For Red team, Miles probably had 10 pts and a few assists. Gray probably had around 8 or 10 pts. Matthews had 8 or 10 pts, a couple steals and a couple assists I recall. Don't remember much from Eitan but there was little effort to go inside on offense. Sahota had a quiet game, maybe 2 or 4 pts. Don't remember Devin Cherry scoring - he might have had a fast break layup but made no perimeter shots and had several TOs. Scelfo had two threes and a couple TOs. Giddens had one FG I can remember and a couple blocks.
I may have under or over estimated points slightly for a few of the players. Stats are just based on what I recall. Can't remember anyone being a beast on the boards.
For whatever reason the game consisted of two 15 minute halves and that was it. Clock actually ran continuously for awhile early in the first half so it was a pretty short game. Players seemed tired overall. No one made a huge impression. Can't say the abbreviated game left any lasting impression overall. Looked like an early season inter squad scrimmage.
- October 23, 2011 at 10:17 PM
I'm dumber for having read these comments... Are you all enrolled in the fashion school at Cornell? Lets win some games. If they are in potato sacks, I couldn't care less.
- October 23, 2011 at 10:21 PM
I preferred the classic design of the old uniforms. Also, I loathe the encroachment of black into uniforms for teams without black as a historical/official color (granted, Harvard is the most egregious violator of this in the Ivy).
My preference would have been something clean and classy, like Stanford with carnelian instead of cardinal red.
- October 23, 2011 at 10:27 PM
I think that Brandon Sparks put it very well on Twitter. Cornell's old uniforms looked a little dated but were classic. The new uniforms look just like those worn by every other Nike team in America.
I agree with those who say that "CU" looks dumb.
- October 23, 2011 at 10:44 PM
I know it was mentioned that this was alumni weekend for cornell basketball. anyone know who was back for that?
- October 24, 2011 at 10:05 AM
Uniforms (and sneakers) are discussed all the times in sports so the people who act all huffy and outraged about it are tiring. Everybody knows that it's not as important as gameplay, doesn't mean people can't discuss it.
- October 24, 2011 at 11:27 AM
We just got the same Uni's as Princeton, but with our colors :/

Matlab Visualization and Postprocessing on Unstructured Grids and Meshes with FEATool functions
Matlab contour, surface, and visualization plots for unstructured mesh and grid data using FEATool Multiphysics functions.
where is the density, the heat capacity, is the thermal conductivity, heat source term, and a vector valued convective velocity field.
In the FEATool custom PDE equation syntax this equation can in one dimension be written as
-k*Tx_x + rho*Cp*u*T_x = Q
Note that each term may only contain one underscore to indicate that it is a bilinear form to be assembled, meaning that the term is multiplied with a test function to which partial integration is applied as in the usual finite element formulation. The term will then contribute to the implicit FEM system and stiffness matrix. In contrast, this equation looks almost identical
-k*Tx_x + rho*Cp*u*Tx = Q
however, the convective 2nd term, does not feature an underscore and will thus be assembled as a linear term contribution to the right hand side (the force and load vector). The following equivalent equation will thus be solved instead
-k*Tx_x = Q - rho*Cp*u*Tx
If the velocity field is constant or divergence free, these two conservative and non-conservative approaches both lead to the same identical solution, although the latter approach will require a non-linear solver since the right hand side depends on the unknown solution Tx, in this case the first derivative. Also the natural flux (Neumann) boundary conditions will look a little different since they arise from partial integration of the bilinear terms (with the underscores).
To see exactly what resulting weak form contributions results from a custom equation one can use the parseeqn function in the Matlab workspace. For example
eqn = parseeqn( '-k*Tx_x + rho*Cp*u*T_x = Q' , {'T'}, {'x'} )
will result in the following fields (ignoring eqn.m which specifies the mass matrix for time dependent problems)
>> eqn.a.form{:}
2 1
2 2
>> eqn.a.coef{:}
'k' '-rho*Cp*u'
The first row in the form equation field specifies trial functions to use for the terms (1=function value, 2=x-derivative, 3=y-derivative, 4=z-derivative), and the bottom row the test functions. Thus in eqn.a a bilinear form is specified which here contains two terms the first with coefficient k, where is the finite element test function, and the second with coefficient -rho*Cp*u. Similarly, inspecting the right hand side f field, we have
>> eqn.f.form{:}
>> eqn.f.coef{:}
Compare that with the second non-conservative PDE formulation which instead will result in one term for the bilinear form in eqn.a but two linear forms in eqn.f
Let's build a simple heat transfer model with the FEM weak form. First we define a finite element 'fea' struct and name the 1D space dimension to x, we also need a grid, in this case a line from 0 to 1 with 100 grid cells
fea.sdim = { 'x' };
fea.grid = linegrid( 100, 0, 1 );
Furthermore, we name out dependent variable or unknown to T for temperature and use 1st order linear Lagrange FEM shape functions to approximate the solution
fea.dvar = { 'T' };
fea.sfun = { 'sflag1' };
Now we define the equations in the fea.eqn field as described above. The equation coefficient and expressions are specified in a cell array in the fea.coef or fea.expr fields
fea.eqn = parseeqn( '-k*Tx_x + rho*Cp*u*T_x = Q', ...
fea.dvar, fea.sdim );
fea.coef = { 'k', '1e-3 + 0.01*(x>0.5)' ;
'rho', 1 ;
'Cp' 1 ;
'u' 0 ;
Note, that to make it more interesting we have defined a discontinuous thermal conductivity k = 1e-3 + 0.01(x>0.5) that will have the value 0.001 in the first half of the domain (x<0.5) and 0.011 in the second half.
Fixed value (Dirichlet) and flux (Neumann) boundary conditions are defined in the fea.bdr.d and fea.bdr.n fields, respectively. In this case we fix the temperature to 50 and 60 degrees at the two end points.
fea.bdr.d = { 50 60 };
fea.bdr.n = { [] [] };
Finally, the following small script solves and plots the solution for a number of different velocity u values.
figure, hold on
uvals = { '0' '0.01' '0.02' '0.03' '0.05' '0.1' };
colors = { 'r' 'g' 'b' 'c' 'm' 'y' };
for i=1:numel(uvals)
fea.coef{4,2} = uvals{i};
fea = parseprob( fea );
fea.sol.u = solvestat( fea );
postplot( fea, 'surfexpr', 'T', 'color', colors{i} )
[umax,j] = max( fea.sol.u );
text( fea.grid.p(j), umax, ['u = ',uvals{i}] )
ylabel( fea.dvar{1} )
xlabel( fea.sdim{1} )
axis( [0 1 50 100] )
axis normal
grid on
Resulting in the following parametric solutions for the temperature distribution.
For another example of using the weak form have a look at Poisson equation for a sphere in the FEATool documentation.

The Tar Heels have had perfect symmetry at the catching position--Benji Johnson and Tim Federowicz have each been the starting catcher in 29 of the squad's 58 games. They've essentially been two halves of the same whole all season. Finding differences in the duo requires splitting very fine hairs: Federowicz, a freshman, has a stronger arm but Johnson, a sophomore, is a better receiver. (Tar Heel Blue)

I would suggest isolating Digester from Lucene and running a unit test on just the Digester part to ensure you are getting the right things back from Digester.

Warning as full moon to make Irish beaches and bathing spots more dangerous
Irish Water Safety is urging caution ahead of a full moon which will make swimming and bathing around the country more dangerous.
A full moon which is to occur on Friday will make beaches and bathing spots around the country considerably more hazardous.
The full moon, and subsequent spring tides, mean will leave the public exposed to stranding around our coastline and to strong rip currents.
Irish Water Safety have issued a warning as a result, as August is the most popular month for swimming and aquatic activities.
They are appealing for swimmers to swim at lifeguarded waterways and to stay close to shore and within your depth.
Ireland averages around 135 drownings a year, and they can happen at any time.
To stay safe this Bank Holiday weekend, Irish Water Safety urges the public to follow their advice:
- Swim at lifeguarded waterways
- Swim within your depth and stay within your depth.
- Swim parallel and close to shore.
- Swim with others in bathing areas that are traditionally recognised as safe.
- Never use inflatable toys in open water or swim out after anything drifting.
- Pay attention to signs on the beach and supervise children at all times.
- Never swim in the dark, late at night or after consuming alcohol.
- Avoid staying in the water too long.
- In Marine Emergencies, call 112 and ask for the coastguard.
Met Eireann said they expect much of the weather over the weekend to be pretty dull. However, there are expected to be some sunny spells and warm temperatures on Saturday in places around the country.
CEO of Irish Water Safety John Leech, in the past, issued the following advice for swimmers and anglers.
"Walkers should remain alert and stay well away from the edge of ordinarily familiar coastal walks due to the risk being washed in by large Atlantic swells," he said.
"Those walking on our beaches and collecting sea shells should be alert to a fast advancing tide and of being stranded. Please carry your mobile phone and ideally in the company of others.
"Anglers should be extremely vigilant, three having drowned so far this year. Atlantic swells present a clear danger to shoreline anglers and a substantial distance from the edge should be maintained at all times and always wear a life-jacket.
"Swimmers be aware of rip currents, especially on surfing beaches, never swim against this narrow current of water flowing away from a beach. Instead, swim parallel to the shore, out of the narrow current, then swim back to shore at an angle.
Last year, 114 people drowned in Ireland; 55 of them were accidents, while 25 were undetermined.
Males are more at risk of drowning (79%) while 23% of all those who drowned were adults aged 50-59. A total of six children aged 14 and under died by drowning last year.
The most deaths occurred in Leinster (39%), followed by Munster (33%), Connaught (17%) and Ulster (11%).
Dublin (16) was the county which witnessed the most drownings followed by Limerick (13) and Cork (13).

I'm calling on the all the cookie experts!
I know everyone has a different taste in what they like to use best. I just need feeback on what ya'll can't live without in the "cookie baking" world?!?!?
I'm wanting to get started making the famous "sugar cookie with beautiful icing". I need help as to know what are the most helpful tools to buy to get started making and selling them.
Like what type of rolling pin can make all the cookies the same thickness? Tips for icing cookies, like what size tips? Do I need a Kitchen Aid mixer?
Anything anyone can help me with would be great.
Hi there and welcome to CC!!!!
In order to make the royal icing, you definately will need a Kitchen Aid mixer. You turn it on and let that baby go for about 10 minutes. Not to mention how much easier it is to make the cookies with it. I just LOVE my KA!!!!!
I'm no expert, but I got the colored bands that fit on a rolling pin to help roll dough out to the same size. I'm using them for the first time today when I attempt to make some valentine's day cookies.
I don't have a Kitchen aide, or any stand mixer, but my mom and mil have them. My mil has actually loaned hers to me and I'm in love. Trying to score one from Craigslist for cheap b/c money is tight and I'm having too much fun with the cake stuff.
I'm sure others will post as they day gets going.
Good luck!
The single most helpful cookie tool(s) that I have in my stash would have to be a little thing I picked up at ICES last year and I am so sorry I don't remember who made them. Quite simply they are strips of wood about 18" long that you roll your cookie dough out in between. They came in several thicknesses for different uses. Vadavoom---vadabing...you get perfect thickness and consistent each and every time. I have heard others use things like rulers or even hitting good ol' Home Dep#t for some 1/4" flat molding would work too.
I look forward to other responses as I would love to play with cookie more!
it sounds like, maybe, a doboard. I did a search the word doboard on cc and below is what I came up with. It sounds like this may be the wood strip thing you were talking about to roll the dough evenly.
My most important tool when I make cookies is a big stack of parchment triangles for making icing bags. I use royal icing, and like using LOTS of color, even if it's only a little bit of each color. So I make up quite a few parchment bags and half-bags and I'm a happy camper. I can also use them to line cookie sheets if I run out of parchment paper on the roll (it's happened).
I'm pretty good at eyeballing the thickness of cookies, so for me it's more important that I have a pin that I can roll out a large amount of dough with at a time, so that the dough doesn't become tough from being worked too much. I splurged on a really wide SilPin non-stick rolling pin, and oh, what a difference!
I use the colored bands, but am thinking to try the wood strips. I would suggest Americolor for your coloring. You theoretically don't need as much as Wilton and the taste is supposed to be better. I like pastry bags, but I know others here love plastic squeeze bottles, so that is up to you. A 'must have' for me is the lighter weight template plastic you can get at Joanne's in the quilting section. I do a lot of my own designs and I use this to make my own templates (use a fine tip Exact-O to cut out your chilled dough). If I have a lot of a certain original design cookie to do or if the shape is going to be to time-intensive to cut out fo the number I need, I make a cookie cutter out of 26 guage stainless steel I get from Joe at Speedy Metals (866-938-6061). That's a 'must have' for me as it isn't so easy to find foodsafe metal for cutters.
Hands down though the biggest 'must have' is Antonia74's RI recipe that you can find here on CC. I couldn't do without it!
Have fun and welcome to the club!
I am still pretty much a newbie myself and I have found out that one of the basic is plenty of cookie sheets. I have two boys (10 and 13) who always want to help me cut and I was running out of cookie sheets quickly. Also I use the tips number 2 and 3 a bunch for outlining before I fill with Antonia74's RI. I use plastic bottles to fill with so I have a bunch of them also. Also I have the couplers to help me change tips when I need to. I may think of some other things as I work on my own cookies here in a little bit. Just remember this one thing - This is VERY addictive!!!!
I always have a large supply of disposable decorating bags on hand. I also love my Americolor gels, and I recently bought a Dobord and love it! I used the rings before, which worked pretty good. But I hadn't realized until using the Dobord how much time I spent rolling and rolling, trying to get the dough to a "perfect" thickness. My icing of choice is a modified version of Toba's Glace. I like being able to make a small amount or large amount of icing, depending on what I need. Less waste this way! My advice is to experiment with different recipes and icings. You'll find what works best for you.
Things I can't live without.
Roulpat or silpats
Americolor gels
Wilton no taste red gel(for making red icing)
Wilton #2 tips
squeeze bottles with changable tips
simple french(straight sides)rolling pin
good cookie sheets(I love the aluminum insulated)
Oxo thin and flexible cookie spatulas
Lots and lots of cookie cutters!
NFSC recipe and Antonia's Icing recipe found here on this site!
I use all of the above forementioned items and one of the most important for me is stackable drying racks. I have purchased them from Wilton, Pampered Chef, Crate and barrel-I have about 40 of them. I couldn't do large orders without them!
Wow! Thanks so much for all the wonderful tips and ideas. I was a bit over stimulated when trying to figure out what I needed to start with first?
I've looked at some of y'alls cookie pics and WOW, simply goregous cookies! I'm a pretty crafty person by nature so, I'm hoping that jumping into cookie baking isn't going to be a nightmare for me.
I've saved the NFSC and Antonia74 recipes! I guess I need to scout out Ebay and find me a gently used KA mixer and give it a try.
Thanks again y'all.
Oh, one more thing... a new knee high stocking! Try not to laugh, but that has saved me from pulling my hair out more than once! I like to use small tips (PME 0 and 00) and they can easily clog (you might find this with a 1 as well). You take the new knee high, wash it in dish soap, rinsing very thoroughly and dry it. Put this over a tall glass, pulling the excess over the top so you can easily access the bottom of the stocking. Pour your RI in, twist the top, then put a piece of plastic wrap around that area to protect your hand from any icing as you squeeze the RI through. The stocking catches those little bits that would clog your small tips and makes life SO much easier! I can't tell you how much hair I lost at 2 a.m. while trying to pipe before I tried this!
A 'must have' for me is the lighter weight template plastic you can get at Joanne's in the quilting section. I do a lot of my own designs and I use this to make my own templates (use a fine tip Exact-O to cut out your chilled dough)
Hi, Tracy!
I have a question on this... where do you cut the dough? over the counter? I mean the Exact-O can ruin a counter top... thank you all for your fabulous tips...
And for must haves:
Cookie Cutters
Gel Foodcolors
Squeeze Bottles
Tips (the ones I use the most: 1, 2, 3, 67...)
Rolling Pin with Rubber Bands
Plastic (I cover my dough with plastic and don't need to use flour to keep it from sticking on the Rolling Pin)
Cookie Sheets and racks
... I couldn´t live without these... some other tools are not must haves...
Yup!! #2 and #3 tips, piping bags, squeeze bottles (just tried this for the first time, and I'm sold!!), Americolor colors, LOTS of cutters and cookie sheets, and parchment paper.
A lot depends on what type of icing you are going to use. Royal Icing affords a little more flexibility, like you can make stars and things. Personally I think a glace tastes better.
All of the suggestions so far are going to make your life easier. If you have a great sugar cookie recipe, that's the most important thing. I like the NFSC recipe, and it (or slight variations of it) is very popular here. Having a consistent thickness is also important to make pretty cookies. I would love a doboard, but am running out of room with all of the other supplies I have for this addictive hobby! I roll out my dough on a silpat mat and place parchment paper on top (of the dough). For guides to make a regular thickness, I use Home Depot paint stirrers which I cover with plastic wrap. They are 1/4" ...and free! If I'm making cookies on sticks for a bouquet I use 3/8" x 24" wood strips from Home Depot. I wrap them in plastic wrap as well. As others have mentioned, Antonia 74's RI is a great icing. When I started out, I went to Michael's and bought a 100 piece plastic cookie cutter set and used my 40% coupon. It has many of the basic shapes to practice with, or just pick up some basic metal cookie cutters as you see them. Hope this helps, and happy baking!
I don't want to steel this topic, but I was wondering if someone could tell me if you can flavor Antonia's RI? I have made it before, but my kids do not care for the taste. Can it be flavored and if so what's the best way? TIA
I use Antonia74 RI all the time and I flavor it with clear vanilla every time. My boys (10 and 13) like it this way. I put 2 TBSP in the recipe. I know that sounds like a bunch but we tried it and that is the amount we like best. I have not had any complaints from other people and they all say they like it!
Great thank you so much.
Answer to Alagoas along with a hint - I roll my dough out with a layer of freezer paper on the bottom and plastic wrap on the top. Chill it, flip it, veery lightly brush with flour and flip back (this helps the dough to come off easily after being cut). I have found the freezer paper is enough of a barrier before I cut it on my glass top table. I have never had a mark, but you might want to try two layers of freezer paper or perhaps a cutting board underneath, just in case.

lots of great tips, have to look into a doboard!
My first "must have" is this rolling pin from Karen's Cookies:

Dear Mr. Marcus
RE: Resignation letter
I am writing to inform you that I am tendering my resignation with this letter from the position of Accounts Manager at Holmes Accounting with effect from June 15, 2010, giving the required one month's notice.
I regret to inform you of my decision to resign from this wonderful company which I have been a part of for five years. It was quite a hard decision for me to tender my resignation but due to the need to care for my ailing mother at my hometown, I would have to relocate as soon as possible.
Hence, it is due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances that I need to bid farewell to you and all at Holmes Accounting. I thank you for the great support and assistance rendered to me during my tenure here.
Please feel free to contact me if there is any area that I can be of assistance before my last working day.
Yours sincerely,
Kristopher Robinson

Incentive Compatible Reimbursement Schemes for Physicians
We consider physicians with fixed capacity levels. If a physician's capacity exceeds demand, she may have an incentive to overtreat, i.e., she may provide unnecessary treatments to use up idle capacity. By contrast, with excess demand she may undertreat, i.e., she may not provide necessary treatments since other activities are financially more attractive. We first show that simple fee-for-service reimbursement schemes do not provide proper incentives. If insurers use, however, fee-for-service schemes with quantity restrictions, they solve the fraudulent physician problem.

Dave Douglas Meets the Westerlies | SFJAZZ
Dave Douglas Meets the Westerlies
NPR Music's Songs We Love: The Westerlies, 'Saro'
Joe Henderson Lab will see an unprecedented show of prevailing winds on this night, as trumpet virtuoso and former SFJAZZ Collective member Dave Douglas joins the renowned chamber-jazz brass quartet The Westerlies for a night devoted to fresh compositions written expressly for this collaboration. Easily ranking among the greatest trumpeters to emerge in the latter half of the 20th century, Douglas was championed by jazz legend Horace Silver in the late 1980s before striking out on his own in the 90s as a bandleader and member of maverick saxophonist/composer John Zorn's long-lived Masada quartet. Douglas was part of the SFJAZZ Collective from 2007-2009, and has recorded over 40 albums in formats from duo to big band – for the last decade on his own Greenleaf imprint. Always pushing beyond the strictures of straight-ahead jazz, Douglas has worked extensively in classical and chamber music settings, recording with So Percussion and most recently releasing Fabliaux, a suite of exploratory music for the improvising Australian orchestra Monash Art Ensemble. Formed in 2011, The Westerlies are the premier brass quartet working today, with a repertoire of over 50 original compositions, adaptations of music ranging from Duke Ellington and Stephen Foster to Bèla Bartok and György Ligeti, and a history of collaboration with Vieux Farka Touré and Bill Frisell.

On April 21st, 2013, next door to Piazza San Marco, the Louis Vuitton Venice Maison opened its doors to the public. Situated in the heart of the city, the Maison features a cultural space, Espace Louis Vuitton Venezia, the first in Italy and only the sixth of its type in the world. "Venice has always been special to the House" says Michael Burke, President of Louis Vuitton. "A city on a lagoon at the crossroads of East and West, it symbolizes travel and an openness to new horizons. It is also a city of art and design, which has always known how to bring together beauty, elegance and art de vivre. With this Maison, we wanted to pay homage to Venetians and lovers of the city by offering them our most beautiful designs, as well as a space for art and culture wholly dedicated to them."
Upon first arrival on the calle San Marco, visitors encounter the amazing sight of a rationalist and monumental palazzo, designed by architect Brenno Del Giudice in 1936. this is followed by sculptor Napoleone Martinuzzi's haut-reliefs, among which sit a reel of film and the Venetian lions – also used by the Mostra – symbolic references to the building's cinematic past. Today, they are joined by the building's new stars, elegant and sophisticated shoes in specially created windows, the fruit of the region's artisans and their savoir-faire, designed and made in the nearby Fiesso d'Artico.
Once past the front doors, the visitor enters a vast lobby opening onto spaces dedicated to men's and women's leather goods. The architecture and design, with the collaboration of architect Peter Marino, are based on a game of shadows and light, reminiscent of Louis Vuitton's iconic Damier, a geometric symphony of chiaroscuro. On the floor, onyx flagstones repeat the play of light and dark. On the walls, the glossy ivory of the Venetian stucco, decorated with pale golden shelves, contrasts with the dark wood of the floor counters. The concept is one of modernity punctuated by tradition, as seen in the antique Venetian mirror and a collection of carnival masks, homage to the city's craftsmanship.
From bags to accessories to small leather goods, on the ground floor visitors are presented with a wide choice of the house's most beautiful creations. Next to familiar Monogram or Damier bags, the store will showcase reinterpreted icons in mini versions, such as the Petit Noé and the Alma BB, as well as designs in Epi leather reworked in 15 new and vibrant colors.
The Art of Travel
Louis Vuitton has been reinventing the Art of travel since 1854 and the creation of its first flat-bottomed trunk. And today, at the heart of Maison Venezia, visitors will discover its latest creations, all driven by a tradition of innovation. Modern nomads will find the latest ingenious luggage and bags, made from ultra-light and hardwearing materials. During the opening celebrations clients will be treated to demonstrations of the Louis Vuitton's "Art of Packing". The art of travel will also be celebrated in the "Made for Travel" ready-to-wear collection, clothing that is a showcase of innovation. Whether patented quick-drying, antibacterial fabrics, fibres mixed with titanium to become anti-UV shields or longlasting waterproof and stainproof treatments, it all follows the same leitmotiv: to be elegant and immaculate, whatever the journey throws at them.
Men's Universe
A curved staircase takes visitors up to the first floor and the men's collections, a kingdom of sophisticated atmosphere of wood and warm colours. Facing the central skylights is the ready-to-wear collection designed by Kim Jones under the creative direction of Marc Jacobs.
A small salon invites visitors to relax and discover the sheer breadth of the shoe range. In Venice, the house has decided to offer all its models, from the most elegant to the sportiest, crafted in the Manufacture de Souliers in Fiesso d'Artico.
At the heart of the ready-to-wear space is an LV Cup corner, inspired by the renowned yacht race which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year and in which Venice has always played a major role. Clothing, leather goods, shoes and accessories: a whole range entirely dedicated to sailors and aficionados of nautical style.
Endurance and comfort are the two watchwords for a collection that features ultra-light, waterproof, windproof, anti-UV fabrics designed to resist saltwater and the most extreme conditions, whether for the length of a regatta, a long cruise or a simple trip out to sea.
Women's Universe
Ascending a few more steps visitors will reach the second floor, bathed in light from enormous windows that look out onto calle San Marco. Delicate and light colours, with a note of serenity, are set off by gold-flecked stucco: we are in a temple dedicated to women. On the wall is "Vedute", an artwork by Jean-François Rauzier, which offers a dream-like vision of the Serenissima thanks to new and personal perspectives on celebrated views. For the first time in Venice, Louis Vuitton is offering its clients a chance to discover the Marc Jacobs-designed ready-to-wear collection, as well as a space entirely given over to the most beautiful Louis Vuitton shoes, straight off the catwalk. Maison Venezia also welcomes a rare and exceptional space for leather-goods lovers. Decorated with panels lacquered with gold leaf, its walls showcase the house's most beautiful leather creations made by the most experienced artisans in its historical Ateliers in Asnières, near Paris.
Private Salon
For those searching for discretion, this floor houses a Private Room hidden behind two doors made of Macassar ebony. The walls are made from Venetian stucco where bronze lines play opposite large walls padded like the house's renowned Ladies trunk. The beauty of materials, the choice of colours and perfection of the smallest details make for exceptional creations and an exclusive experience.
The final steps of the staircase lead up to the Bookstore. On the way, visitors can admire the chandelier: the unusual and luminous work, 'Fragments', by Fernando & Humberto Campana, which is made from recycled Murano crystal fragments. Venice is a city of aesthetes and writers, a city of culture permanently in motion. Which is why it seemed natural and appropriate to open a bookstore here, offering art books and major publications from Éditions Louis Vuitton. Sofas, a reading space and a selection of prints invite visitors to relax. Here they have arrived at their destination, their journey's end. Unless, of course, is about to begin.

Humor and heart abound in this coming of age home run! It is thoughtful, inspiring, and poignant, entirely deserving of my very enthusiastic recommendation!

Mainstream British drama with big ambitions but useless execution!

* Depiction of the Taylor family gives the film a nice grounding, makes the film relatable.
* Emotionally rewarding conclusion to the film, typical of Gervais/Merchant projects
* The trio of Christian Cooke, Jack Doolan & Tom Hughes work really well together.

Gervais is actually in very little of this film, which is fine since the lead Christian Cooke is actually fabulous. The friendship between the three boys was a good backdrop to the plot and had decent life lessons (family, self confidence, etc). Nice romantic storyline as well.
May 4, 2014
Handful of great laughs, but super boring otherwise. When I see Gervais and Merchant in control of a project, I expect a lot. This film ONLY shined when they were on screen... and that was maybe 10 minutes.

good period piece comedy

Grim and gritty as i expected. Didn't enjoy the Ralph Fiennes character. Thought he was a bit too cliche. Especially the newspaper breakfast scene seemed corny to me. The character that i really was most interested in was Bruce, and his relationship with his father. Enjoyable enough

Some days ago I watched "The meaning of life", but after watching "Pirate Radio" and this film "Cemetery Junction" now I understand better what it means. A smart British comedy. Again the DVD was a courtesy of the British Library in Lima
December 1, 2013
Bit of a pedestrian effort from the Gervais/Merchant team this one. The cliches keep stacking up around the few interesting characters that populate this movie. Unfortunately the central three guys are not the interesting ones but the ones with the cliches. Rewrite!
½ November 23, 2013
Gervais + Merchant = win.

Ignore the bad reviews. It's a sweet film about escapism that nails the attitudes of the folk of the 70s.
½ October 6, 2013
This beautifully made, lovely film is funny, touching and made with both love and positivism. Although almost everything is the whole film is quite predictable and the characters all lack depth and finesse, it's the swell kind of predictability that simply works. For instance, you know from A to Z the fat guy is gonna end up with the ugly yet interested girl, yet their romance development remains interesting to look at. You'll see the one-dimensionality of each character and simply decide to ignore it, because the characters are still fresh, vibrant, alive and well-meant. The bad guys remain bad guys, the good guys remain good guys and a few well-placed interesting twist and turns do the rest. It's heartwarming and believable. A must-watch!

Gervais, Merhcant and co deliver spectacularly with this warm and charming coming of age tale.
August 11, 2013
It's a pretty typical coming of age story, but it's light years better than The Invention of Lying.
June 30, 2013
I liked it more that I expected , very colorful characters.
½ May 3, 2013
do i become "dead from the neck up" putting my time in for the next 40 years, or do i go after it? makes for a good story, and a good movie. not your typical Gervais movie tho. some great funny stuff, but lots more too.
April 26, 2013
It's got a few laughs and a great soundtrack but this coming of age film offers nothing new to the genre.

Hello everyone, so glad you have dropped by. The Woman's Post is for all women to visit, communicate, laugh, cry, pray, and share how you balance your lifestyle, work, money, finances, age and everything else. We hope you will join us and find the time to share your knowledge, your strength, and your passions.
The Woman's Post was created to encourage women to shine with their power and presence in this world that is complicated and diverse. We hope for everyone to read here how women feel and need their presence and understanding. We endeavor to encourage all women to see the importance of empowerment in their life, while talking about subjects which are important to all people across the globe.
Most of the people I know these days are concerned about their children, their family, their faith, their home, their finances, their career, and how to bring it all together with success and balance.
We hope to explore subjects that interest women the most and those which encourage one to become more empowered and fulfilled.
We want you to tell us what you enjoy the most, and give us recommendations and suggestions.
Who Are We:
First, we believe in the Lord, Jesus Christ and prayer.
Secondly, we love to follow people who are making a difference in women's lives as well as the entire human race, giving them worth, value and power. It is always empowering when we find someone who has the ability to achieve in whatever circumstances they find themselves in. We hope to make this blog all about empowering women in all aspects of their life.
I spent a thirty plus year career in mortgage lending working for various Banking and Mortgage Institutions, Broker offices, Mortgage Insurance Companies, and Mortgage Contract Companies. I became a Mortgage Auditor, then a Mortgage Underwriter, Loan Officer, and also Operations Supervisor, and then Senior Vice President of a Broker Office. I learned about working hard, sacrificing family time very often, and about how real leadership must work. I learned that everybody is not going to love you, and in fact, some people will stab you in the back, and hate you, and all for no reason except their own personal gain or insecurities. That is why I love motivating others to be different and explore emotional intelligence (EI).
I have also travel from the mid-south (Memphis), to the east coast, and west coast in my years of auditing mortgage loans, before paperless became the name of the game. I enjoyed time in New York City, Boston, San Diego, Fort Lauderdale and Daytona, FL, up to Settle, WA, and many other cities. Too many to name, and I have met, and worked with a lot of diverse personalities. I try applying my experiences to life, and love writing about how to live in a world where balancing life is sometimes very a hard and stressful process.
We consider our life "real." Yes, we have all experienced, set-back, triumphs, laughing times, crying times, and real life issues. However, we have a firm belief that all things are possible if we work hard enough, long enough and keep faith alive.
Oprah proved that growing up in the South doesn't make you less than, nor more than, it probably makes one more humble. Of course, we all know that the ability to excel is not determined by any geographic location, it is determined by the power within us, and that is nothing to laugh about.
We do have tons of experience (learned the hard way) in a lot of "Life Things," from living life to the fullest and learning from my mistakes.We are an advocate for all things "possible." It is never too late to change course, it may take a little more effort, desire, determination, and just plain old guts, but you can succeed if you work hard enough.
Hopefully our discussions about Positive Lifestyle Approaches to Living With Balance, will give you something to think about while you are enjoying the stroll around; The Woman's Post. Let's have some fun! Let's discuss some real "Life Things."
Regards, and let's live with balance.

Gary Barlow is fuming after learning that X Factor mogul Simon Cowell has declared war on him by secretly campaigning to "get Chris Maloney out".
Now Barlow views Cowell's phone calls and texts to rival judges urging them to criticise his act at every opportunity as the "final straw" in their crumbling relationship.
The new row ignited after X Factor sources revealed Chris, 34, "topped the vote" for the first two weeks of the live performances.
Cowell is said to believe the Liverpudlian's presence makes the show dated and cheesy.
He is said to have urged judges Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Tulisa Contostavlos to criticise him to make sure he is kicked out sooner rather than later.
A source said: "Chris winning or even getting further into the competition is a disaster for Cowell.
"He wants Chris out and the fact that his mentor is Gary Barlow makes him even more desperate to get him kicked off."
The source added that if Barlow, who has already lost two of his acts, is left with no one half-way through the competition that "would make things even sweeter for Cowell because they are at war".
The pair have been at loggerheads for almost a year.
Earlier this month, Barlow told The Mirror they now only communicate through the show's producers.
Last night a spokesman for Cowell claimed he was too busy on the US version of the show to interfere with Gary's acts.
Former cruise ship crooner Chris is the bookmakers' favourite to be kicked out, but he has continued to win fans and has more than 60,000 supporters on Twitter.
Meanwhile, contestant Rylan Clark was in tears as he left the premiere of Skyfall at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday.
Rylan, 23, wanted to greet four screaming girl fans as he left but was ushered away by security. "I'm so sorry guys, I love you all," he blubbed.
A security source said: "Rylan was blocking the service road as the real celebrities were leaving. He's not that famous so we told him to clear off."

Norm processing is simple & fast. But with thousands of rarely used fields it could become a significant factor in update speed. As with all performance questions, the answer requires benchmarking.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – A developer presented an affordable housing proposal to committee members last week that would add 76 units on Rio Grande property near an existing Conifer development.
"When I saw Block 1523, I thought it was really well suited for this type of development," said Jonathan Lubonski, vice president for the Michaels Development Company in Marlton. The property, about 24 acres, has about six acres that with a CAFRA review, could be developed, he said.
CAFRA is the state law that mandates a review prior to any development of coastal land.
"This is a preliminary meeting," Lubonski said during the Nov. 21 work session of the committee. "There's nothing that I'm presenting that's set in stone."
The property is near the newly built Meadow Lark Run apartments, a Conifer Realty project.
In New Jersey, municipalities are legally obliged to provide affordable housing options, based on court precedent and the Fair Housing Act of 1985. But the process by which towns are to provide that housing, and how much housing is required, has been the subject of numerous administrative changes, legal challenges and shifting regulations over the years.
The latest round of rules potentially included an increase in the number of units required from Middle Township, but COAH is still in flux, Lubonski said. No new requirements have yet come down from the state.
Lubonski described his proposal for the property on Rio Grande Avenue as looking ahead to potential requirements.
The six-acre plot could support a 25,000 to 35,000-square-foot building, he said, large enough for 76 units, a number of apartments that would allow for an on-site, live-in property manager.
The development would be deed restricted for 30 years, Lubonski said. "There's no intention for a short-term hold for this type of development," he said.
While the Michaels Company hasn't developed any affordable housing in Cape May County, Lubonski invited Township Committee members to tour a development under construction in Egg Harbor Township similar to the one he proposed in Middle Township.
Committeemen Jeff DeVico and Tim Donohue took no action on the proposal, but agreed to look at Lubonski's plan. Mayor Mike Clark was vacationing, and did not attend the meeting.
"My initial concern is that design looks a lot like Conifer's," Donohue said.
Lubonski, who said he previously worked with Conifer Realty, another affordable housing developer, said there are a variety of designs available, should the committee decide to purse the development.
"We have not formally engaged an engineer at this time," Lubonski said. A real estate agent has advertised the property as having the potential for an affordable housing development, he said, which could meet housing requirements of the New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing, or COAH.
"While the state of COAH is in flux, I think this site lends itself well to COAH credit," Lubonski said.

By Alex Taylor
Arsenal star Jack Wilshere may only be loaned out until January, according to transfer expert Emanuele Giulianelli.
Sky Sports claimed on their transfer centre blog on Monday night (10.27pm) that manager Arsene Wenger will sanction the exit of the club talisman on loan before Wednesday night's transfer cut-off.
It would prove to be a sensational move given Wilshere's status at his boyhood club Arsenal and his long-held reputation as one of Europe's outstanding young players.
Gazzetta Dello Sport wrtier Giulianelli, who has established a reputation for providing Arsenal transfer news and was the first journalist to report their interest in imminent new arrival Shkodran Mustafi, provided an update on Wilshere and his team-mate Serge Gnabry on Tuesday morning.
He suggested Wilshere could be back at Arsenal in January rather than spend the entire season at another club.
Wilshere loan might be just until January, Arsenal trying to get Serge Gnabry to sign a new deal & don't want him to go on a permanent deal.
— Emanuele Giulianelli (@EmaGiulianelli) August 30, 2016
Reports emerged on Tuesday in Germany that Bayern Munich are close to permanently signing Gnabry, before loaning him to Werder Bremen.
Wilshere's availability is certain to alert a host of top Premier League clubs although Arsenal are unlikely to sanction a move to a top-four rival.
The 24-year-old has an extensive injury record starting back to 2009 when he suffered the first of many serious ankle injuries.
Despite having a minor knee injury in pre-season, Wilshere has recovered to be on the substitute's bench for each of Arsenal's three Premier League matches this season.
He has played 37 minutes, including the last 20 of Saturday's 3-1 win at Watford, but has slipped behind Granit Xhaka, Santi Cazorla, Francis Coquelin, Mohamed Elneny and Aaron Ramsey in the pecking order for central midfield places at Emirates Stadium.
With Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alex Iwobi ahead of him in the battle for the attacking midfield slots, Wilshere is now concerned about a lack of opportunities.
The former Bolton loanee has been sidelined throughout his career for 890 days, missing out on 154 matches for the Gunners.
In other Arsenal transfer news, a club director has given an emphatic response on an Arsenal midfield target.

"In the absence of comments or permalinks, the way we responded to someone else's blog post was to write our own blog post, and link to said person's blog. And as ever, inclusion on someone else's blogroll was very flattering. We didn't have Klout or PeerIndex or Technorati, but we did track popularity using the Beebo Metalog. Slightly obsessively in fact. Updated by hand, and with love, this was the ultimate weblogging popularity contest of the time."Katy's first steps, from May 2000 are here.
Glancing over this, I've lately considered the currency of these three posts posted at Geocities in a basic attempt at a blog in late 2000. Should I really be counting that as my blog birth? Feeling Listless began in July 2001 and that's the date I've usually used when considering birthdays, but Katy's blog has gone through numerous titles and venues and she seems to be more interested in the longevity of the activity rather than the "publication".
But the six month gap of indecision seems to make all the difference. After commenting on Christmas television for reasons I can't quite remember I decided to spend most of my time on Metafilter until I tried again six months later and the generally unbroken run up to now. I was offline for a few months in 2002 due to a computer outage, but there's a difference I think, between enforced silence and not being bothered.
My conscience says July 2001, so July 2001 it is. The one thing I can't remember is when this blog became part of the UK blogging community, if it ever has at all. When like Katy's blog it was listed at the UKBlogs updater? When Darren first linked to me? (which happened far earlier than I originally thought). When I met my first other blogger? (incidentally since you've read that linked post, Fani's just had a baby which shows how time flies).
Such things are probably for other people to judge. Sometimes I feel like I missed being a genuine part of the community back then, isolated in my north-western hinterland, sometimes I oddly feel like I was more connected, when none of my closer friends even knew what weblog was. But I'm in danger of going over old ground so perhaps it's time to stop. This blog post, I mean. Not altogether. Like that's ever going to happen.

Toys offer a great opportunity to spend quality time with your buddy, strengthening the bond you share and giving them some exercise during playtime.
Is your fur baby a dog or cat?
Is your dog a puppy or an adult?
If your pooch is 12 weeks or 12 years old, there is most likely a toy or two out there that will get their tail wagging. Whether they love to chew or cuddle (or both!) there is a huge range available which will drive their mental stimulation and help prevent boredom and destruction.
It's important to note that, while many toys are tough and hardy, a 100% indestructible dog toy simply does not exist. Most dog toys are designed to have a little give to provide the satisfaction of destruction for your dog with the overall toy remaining mostly intact. By allowing your pooch to chew or destroy a dog toy, you're also helping to prevent your buddy from digging your garden, ripping up your washing or eating your shoes.
While it's a common belief that sticks at the park make great dog toys, they can actually cause serious damage. Their sharp edges, and the splinters caused by broken sticks can not only cause bleeding of the mouth, but scratches to your dog's eyes and other body parts. Sticks can also lodge in your dog's throat if caught the 'wrong way', with playtime fun resulting in an emergency trip to the vet.
Toys for Puppies
Dogs of any age usually love a good play and chew session, however some toys can be a little too harsh for puppy teeth. Softer, youngster-friendly alternatives encourage your pup to exercise their teeth and gums without causing any damage. These toys can also be great for those older dogs with a more sensitive jaw, due to their age.

Is your cat inquisitive?
Cats are natural predators and love to hunt, stalk and pounce! Having a range of enriching toys on hand will provide your feline family member with physical and mental stimulation, while helping them express some of their natural desires in a way that keeps them happy and safe.
Toys also offer a great opportunity to spend quality time with your cat, strengthening the bond you share and giving them some exercise!
The key is to provide your cat with a variety of toys, but not all at the same time, otherwise they will get bored of each toy very quickly! Instead, provide your feline with two or three options and change it up regularly to keep her interested.
Avoid allowing your cat to chase, pounce and bite on your hands, instead of toys. Your cat may come to believe that this acceptable all of the time, instead of just during playtime, which can become a pain point for the cat's owner!
Interactive Cat Toys
If your feline family member is a bundle of whiskers and energy, interactive cat toys may be just what they need to wear out some energy. These toys either entice active play or encourage your puss to use brain power to work it out.

What choke should i use?
Just wondering wat shotgun choke would be good for rabbit hunting? Something that could possible be effective out to 20+ yards! I'm using lead bb's for a 12 gauge Remington 870!
cylinder should be good enough. only takes one to stop a rabbit. full choke decimates em with bb loads. the times i use a 12 gage on rabbit i use #7 shot that you typically use on skeet. rabbits are super thin skinned.
but im far far far from a shotgun expert
since you are using large shot you can get away with a open choke. I would use an improved cylinder choke for BB shot. Most of the time BB shot are high brass loads, which means you have more pellets per shell.
Im thinking modafied cyl but thats just me playing with bird shot
Thanks guys

Argentina has inked US$7.5 billion in loan agreements with China, at least US$6.8 billion of which will be used for major dam and railway construction projects in the Latin America's third largest economy.
The deals, which were signed by Argentine President Cristina Fernandez and Chinese President Xi Jinping during the latter's first official visit to Buenos Aires, include a $4.7 billion loan from the China Development Bank for the construction of two hydroelectric dams in Patagonia, as well as a $2.1 billion loan to finance a large-scale railway improvements.
The pair of hydroelectric dams in Patagonia will be built by China Gezhouba Group Corp and Argentina's Electroingenieria SA, which won contracts for the construction of the project last year. The dams will provide a pivotal boost to Argentina's energy infrastructure, and will possess a combined generating capacity of 1,740 megawatts.
The $2.1 billion rail loan will see a major overhaul of the freight network run by state rail operator Belgrano Cargas in order to improve its ability to convey the crops produced by Argentina - a leading agricultural exporter, to the country's sea ports.
The railway project will further enhance China's access Argentina's agricultural commodities. Argentina is currently the third biggest exporter of soybeans and corn in the world, with China serving as its chief purchaser of the former.
Fernandez hailed the signing of the loan agreements as being "foundational in the relations between our two countries."
The loans arrive as a major source of succour for cash-strapped Argentina. Despite its status as Latin America's third largest economy, the nation is struggling to raise money via international capital markets as a result of its shaky credit status ever since its 2002 default. The country's currency reserves now stand at $30 billion - their lowest level since November 2006.
China is now Argentina's largest trading partner outside of Latin America, as well as its second-biggest trading partner in the world after Brazil. In 2013, Argentina's trade deficit with China leaped by over 20 per cent to reach $5.8 billion.
Congratulations China! Now our company also needs your help with the construction of 2-3 bio-energy all green distilleries in Brazil producing electricity and ethanol helping millions in Brazil and China!
