I hired SepEx Safe Cargo for local shifting within Mumbai, from Kandivali to Kharghar. They were before time, and everything was done very systematically. Though there was a small damage in the wheel of the washing machine, but they replaced the item without any fight or argument. The are very economical with their service. The owner made sure that we didn't have to worry about the follow up with and told us specifically that we weren't to give any additional charges to the workers. I am very satisfied with their services and would highly recommend them to others.

Ramji Cargo Packers and Movers Private Limited had given me the transportation services. One of my friends had referred them to me. We were shifting outside the city, they had moved my household items including my vehicle, from Mumbai to Nagaland. My overall experience was benign; their packing was excellent, they took a little while to deliver the goods, they took 20 days to deliver the goods. Packing was ok. They are very trustworthy and provided me with the quality services. The labour was well trained, and they keeps on updating me until I got the items delivered. Prices were reasonable, and I will surely recommend them for short distance shifting.

Early Warning Signs
Editor's choice in Ecology
Richard P. Grant
Oct 1, 2011
Forecasting the future is a tricky art, but a field test of an important ecological theory now shows that drastic environmental shifts can be predicted, potentially paving the way for preventive intervention. Trophic cascades occur when a layer in the food web is added or removed and an entire ecological system shifts catastrophically as a result. For example, if a top predator becomes extinct—say, by overfishing or hunting—pressure is relieved on its prey. This can have destructive effects on other organisms lower down the food chain as they suddenly experience a higher rate of predation. Steve Carpenter at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and colleagues have now shown that such regime shifts, in this case caused by the deliberate addition of a top predator to a lake in Wisconsin, can be predicted up to a year in advance.
Healthy ecosystems can readily accommodate small disturbances. If the number of fish or the amount of phytoplankton changes, for example, the balance soon recovers. However, in the face of a coming regime shift, ecological theory predicts that recovery will become much slower. But few field studies of entire ecosystems—and none on a large-scale—have tested the hypothesis. Carpenter and his team deliberately created a trophic cascade in Peter Lake, Michigan, using the adjacent Paul Lake as a control, and measured the numbers of each species in both lakes, in order to watch for patterns of change that would precede the trophic cascade. In July 2008, the team initiated the cascade by more than doubling the population of adult largemouth bass—a top predator fish—bringing the total to 81. Paul Lake contained more than 300 adult largemouth bass.
Every summer day for three years, Carpenter and colleagues counted minnows (which eat plankton) and measured the amount of chlorophyll, a proxy for the amount of phytoplankton, in each lake. The chlorophyll could be measured precisely and at high frequency (every five minutes), and it were these data that gave the researchers the first inkling that change was under way. By September 2009, there were large swings in the amount of chlorophyll and "it was pretty clear," says Carpenter, that a major ecosystem shift was already in progress. By September 2010, the shift was complete: the food web was dominated by larger fish.
Many human-driven catastrophes, such as desertification, fishery collapse, or algal blooms, are caused by small or slow changes in management which lead to collapse. Russell Moll, at the University of California, San Diego, who evaluated the paper at F1000, says, "If there was some way to predict when a regime shift is going to occur in advance," it might be possible to nudge it back towards a more healthy state. "Having any kind of advance knowledge that we're about to enter into a regime shift would be useful from both a scientific and a management perspective," he adds.
But Carpenter sounds a note of caution. The appropriate indicators—the "canaries in the coal mine"—for other ecosystems remain to be discovered. "Before we manage ecosystems using this method we need a lot more research," he says.

Census Bureau IT problems remain unresolved
Finally, a source other than MyTwoCensus.com has noticed and reported on the multitude of IT failures at the Census Bureau. H/t to Edwin Mora of CNSNews.com for the following piece…but hopefully the mainstream media — not just Conservative media outlets like CNSNews — will start to address these problems:
Census Still Struggling With IT Problems That May Affect Count's Accuracy
Friday, April 30, 2010
By Edwin Mora
Census Bureau Director Robert M. Groves. (AP Photo/U of Mich.,Paul Jaronski)(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Census Bureau is still having problems with its computer system that handles the data for households that did not return a census form. However, the Census Bureau director said the system has successfully printed out the assignments for the enumerators who will conduct in-person interviews with households that did not mail in their forms.
"We continue to struggle with the software system called the paper-based operation control system, but we passed, just amazingly, a wonderful threshold last week where we printed out assignments for all these enumerators," said Census Bureau Director Robert Groves. "It worked."
The Census director made the comments at a press briefing on the Census participation rate, which took place at the National Press Club in Washington on Thursday.
Groves said the Bureau is not fond of its paper-based operation control system (PBOCS), which is used to manage the non-response follow-up (NRFU). The NRFU, set to begin May 1, is the Census' largest operation and involves census workers personally interviewing millions of people nationwide who did not respond to the mailed Census questionnaire.
"Slightly more than 72 percent of U.S. households believed to be occupied mailed back their 2010 Census forms, the same rate that was achieved in 2000," the U.S. Census Bureau announced on Apr. 28.
"Not that it is the most loved piece of software in the Census Bureau, but it's working well enough to get the census down so far," said Groves.
"We have assignments ready for 600,000 people who are ready to hit the streets on Saturday," he added. "So we're proceeding."
According to a Mar. 25 Government Accountability Office report entitled, "Data Collection is Under Way, But Reliability of Key Information Technology Systems Remains a Risk," the Census Bureau was experiencing problems with two IT systems, one of which is the paper-based operation control system that Groves mentioned during the press conference.
The GAO reported last February that "key IT systems — most notably an automated system used to manage field data collection known as the Paper-Based Operations Control System (PBOCS) and a personnel and payroll processing system called the Decennial Applicant Personnel and Payroll System (DAPPS) — were experiencing significant performance issues."
On Thursday, Robert Goldenkoff, the director of strategic issues for the GAO and author of the March 25 GAO report on the IT problems affecting the Census, told CNSNews.com: "The [paper based] operational control system used to manage the field follow-up operation was still having stability issues last week; the Census Bureau continues to work on it."
On Mar. 25, Judith Gordon, the principal assistant inspector general for Audit and Evaluation at the Department of Commerce, which runs the Census Bureau, testified about the IT problems affecting the Census before Congress, saying that the Census' decennial count's accuracy was "at risk" because of IT issues.
"IT problems place the efficiency and accuracy of Non-Response Follow-Up at risk and final decennial costs remain uncertain," Gordon told lawmakers, and as CNSNews.com reported. Gordon had testified before a subcommittee on the Census of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
In the same Mar. 25 GAO report, Goldenkoff revealed that "an estimated 50 million housing units out of a mail-out universe of about 120 million" would be non-respondents and would require an in-person follow-up to count. The operating budget for the NRFU is $2.7 billion.
Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution calls for a decennial enumeration (census) of the American people to be used for allocating U.S. House seats among the states.

As an "application scale" offering, Microsoft says that the release of TypeScript comes in direct response to the challenge of creating larger-scale JavaScript applications.
In terms of form and function, TypeScript uses the same JavaScript syntax and semantics. It compiles to clean, standard, broadly compatible JavaScript. TypeScript starts and ends as JavaScript, adding only what is needed for large-scale web client applications to the JavaScript standard, so developers will be able to reuse existing JavaScript.
Microsoft is also releasing a TypeScript for Visual Studio 2012 plugin that the firm hopes will improve developers' experiences with the tooling and further help address the challenge of building large-scale JavaScript applications. The TypeScript plugin provides developers with code navigation, refactoring, static error messages, and IntelliSense.
Somasegar says that JavaScript was originally designed to be a client-side scripting language for web pages: "For many years it was limited to event handlers that scripted a Document Object Model (DOM). As a result, JavaScript is missing many of the features necessary to be able to productively write and maintain large-scale applications, namely those that create distinct contracts between components and developers."
As stated, TypeScript is open source and the compiler is available under the Apache 2.0 license on CodePlex, Microsoft's free open source project-hosting site.

Feb. 5, 2014 – What are the intangibles that differentiate lawyers who thrive from those who wither? In this video, talent management, work/life balance, and retention and promotion of lawyers expert, Deborah Epstein Henry discusses where attorneys should focus their attention to develop the necessary skills to achieve the success and status they desire.
"In today's competitive marketplace, it's no longer enough to just be a talented lawyer," said Henry. "It's the extras that differentiate lawyers who thrive from those who wither."
Research shows that a sponsor is required to effectively move your career to the next level. Mentors show you the way, but they won't necessarily help you to the next level of success in business development, compensation, and hierarchy in an organization.
"A sponsor is a powerbroker in your place of employment or in your community," said Henry. "The key with sponsorship is that it must be reciprocal, and it must be earned."
Henry recommends identifying one or more people who are influential in a practice area that you care about; then develop a relationship with them and show how you can be valuable to them. Perhaps you can do work that they don't want to do or show them something that you are good at that they may not be good at, such as social media. Once you demonstrate the quality of your work, they will want to back you because you are helping them and because you have earned it.
Henry urges women to push themselves to get involved and take risks to propel their career.
"Leadership is an area that is awkward for a lot of women who think it is self-aggrandizing to raise their hand for leadership opportunities," she said. "I think it's helpful for women to understand that leadership is really an effective way to provide service and to give back. With a leadership platform, a woman can be that much more helpful to bring junior women up through the ranks or help other people."
It is important to be creative. Henry suggests sharing leadership roles. "You get the experience and visibility of being a leader, and you earn that skillset, but you share the time burden."
Henry presented Blueprinting for Success – Developing Plans for Success in Mentoring Promotion, Flexibility, Networking & Leadership at the State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE® Wisconsin Solo & Small Firm Conference in Wisconsin Dells last November.
Henry is the author of Law & Reorder: Legal Industry Solutions of Restructure, Retention Promotion & Work/Life Balance, a bestselling ABA Flagship Publishing book for 2011. A former practicing litigator, Henry is president of Flex-Time Lawyers LLC, an international consulting firm she founded in the late 1990s. A former litigator in Philadelphia and New York, Henry earned her J.D. cum laude from Brooklyn Law School.

Doctors aided US torture at military prisons, report says
Doctors and nurses working under US military orders have been complicit in the abuse of terrorism suspects, a new independent US report says.
The study says medical professionals helped design, enable and participated in "torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment" of detainees.
The report was compiled by an independent panel of military, health, ethics and legal experts.
Both the CIA and the Pentagon have rejected the report's findings.
The two-year study was carried out by the Institute on Medicine as a Profession and the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations.
The report says the collusion began at US prisons in Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and at CIA secret detention sites after the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US.
Co-author Leonard Rubenstein told the BBC's Newsday programme that the report revealed "the legacy of torture and detainee abuse at Guantanamo and elsewhere on the medical community".
"What we found was that the department of defence and the CIA actually changed core ethical standards to facilitate participation by health professionals in the abuse of detainees. And those distortions still exist," he said.
The report says that while some practices such as waterboarding have now been banned, medical professionals are still being required to force-feed detainees, including those at Guantanamo Bay.
"One [example] is the use of physicians to force-feed detainees and using very coercive restraint chairs in a way that violates the ethical standards of the World Medical Association and American medical groups," said Mr Rubenstein, Senior Scholar at the Center for Human Rights and Public Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
"Another is participation in interrogations where health professionals search for vulnerabilities which interrogators can exploit."
The report calls on the US Senate Intelligence Committee to fully investigate medical practices at the detention sites.
However, the CIA and the Pentagon rejected the report's findings.
CIA public affairs chief Dean Boyd said the report "contains serious inaccuracies and erroneous conclusions".
"It's important to underscore that the CIA does not have any detainees in its custody and President [Barack] Obama terminated the Rendition, Detention and Interrogation Program by executive order in 2009," he said.
Pentagon spokesman Todd Breasseale said that none of the critics of prisoner care had access to the detainees, their medical records, or the procedures at Guantanamo.
He described the doctors and nurses working at Guantanamo as "consummate professionals".
Mr Breasseale said they routinely provided "not only better medical care than any of these detainees have ever known, but care on par with the very best of the global medical profession".

Sooooo awesome.
Sooooo awesome.
Have been playing Blacklight: Retribution, it's surprisingly good.
Go and buy this right now.
Botanicula is the new one and it's wonderful. I've spent the whole time with it, so far, grinning like an idiot.
still playing the Binding Of Isaac to get everything.
and Legend Of Grimrock. if you like old school dungeon crawling like Dungeon Master, then you'll love it.
I've been playing way too much of Tales of Innocence R for the Vita. This game is amazing, and it would be a real shame if they never brought it out in America.
Witcher 2. Having a hard time with it. Very cool game though.
blades of time now , nice fun hack and slash rpg
I've had the Diablo III beta for a while, but haven't been able to play through it until today. I didn't play the previous game - so I have no clue what's going on, but I found my first go at it with a Wizard pretty fun. If anyone wants to have a go with me, my battletag is "Torgo#1433"
I just remembered the Dot Hack games from when I was in middle school.
I'm gonna have to see if I can get all four of those babies back.
I just finished the Dead Money DLC for Fallout:New Vegas, and it was a really awesome sub-plot from the main story, if it wasn't for a shitty problem where it'd CTD when opening any door, it would've been perfect for me.
Spent ages trying to steal all the gold from the vault and make it out alive
Really? The only trouble I had was the autosave/crash glitch.
Bearing in mind I was level 40 when I went to Sierra Madre, even then the BAR you get absolutely rips through Ghost People, and I managed to find and destroy all the hologram emitters before they spotted me.
Friend of mine said she had to cheat to finish, I just didn't see why it was even necessary.
Played a lot of Assassin's Creed over the weekend and I really like it. I never got around to playing it before because I heard it got really repetitive, which it does, but it isn't really bothering me at all. The story is shaping up to be pretty cool and it's a lot of fun going around and taking dudes out and then vanishing. Definitely going to play through the rest of them as well.
I actually tried playing the first one like, a week ago...Shut it off after about 15 minutes. It's impossible to go back to that after playing the others. :P
Yeah I'm playing the first one, I figured I'd better start at the beginning, guess I should've asked around a little more. I only have 4 assassinations left so I might as well finish it since I'm enjoying it. Good to hear that the rest are even better, I am really liking this game but if I wasn't digging the story so much I doubt the gameplay would be keeping me interested. I actually almost gave up on it after the tutorial and a bit of gameplay but then gave it another shot over the weekend and turned out really liking it. Already added the second one to my Gamefly Q so I'll be starting that one within a couple weeks.
Found my PS1 memory card so I'm playing through Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions again.
Getting to play as Gray Fox is so exciting.
Got this from Target for $10.00. Glad I did, it's wonderful! Gonna have to go get the other 2 games sometime. Never really cared for this series before now but I think my opinions have changed.
I just beat Silent Hill Downpour. Not a bad game. They could have taken a liiittle extra time to patch some things up and maybe improved on the whole "every monster is just a dirty-looking person" thing, and the lack of real horror, but on the whole it wasn't bad. Now to play through again for side quests n junk....
It's not bad. I'll probably buy it once the price drops some more. The only ting that reeeally got under MY skin was when the framerate just plummeted for no reason from time to time, as well as almost always while the game was saving.
I will say though, the orphanage is probably the scariest part of the whole game - for a LOT of reasons. (For example, dark hallways with little girls singing and laughing. FUCK.)
Apparently, they've added a patch for Downpour to the big list of things they're working on to fix up the HD Collection, as well. They say it'll help with the framerate and some autosave stuff.
Is it just me, or are developers getting more and more lazy now that they've realized they can just patch up glitches a month or two down the road?
Prototype 2 and Witcher 2.

Tech Update
Advanced-Programming CNC Control for Laser-Cutting Machines
When used for waterjet cutting, Water CAM programming allows the user to select the types and quantities of stored pieces to be cut from one or more plates, optimizing production and reducing waste via automatic nesting. The software generates an automatic estimation of the work and calculates costs, timing and cutting lengths.

About Adrienne Vittadini, Jansport Backpacks, Johnston & Murphy, MOSHI, Rawlings Laptop Bags, JanSport backpacks are probably one of the best known names in backpacks. In fact, their backpacks are some of the best-selling packs on eBags - particularly for school and day hiking. Whether you enjoy scaling peaks on the weekends or prefer to pack a lunch and a book and set out for the park, JanSport offers something for everyone.
The brand began in 1967 with three friends (Jan Lewis, Murray Pletz, and Skip Yowell) and their love for the outdoors. Their first framepack won the admiration of climbers on Mount Rainier and other northwest area peaks and even garnered an award for "The Best New Use of Aluminum". Since then, the company has become one of the largest manufacturers of backpacks as well as luggage, totes, and laptop bags.
Throughout the years, JanSport has lived up to their promise to "equip people with quality, enduring, and reliable products that enable the freedom to experience life's adventures". From their iconic backpacks like the SuperBreak to their equally fun and functional bags and luggage, the brand stands behind their products with their JanSport Lifetime Warranty and strives to incorporate flexibility in every design, allowing you to transition seamlessly from school days to weekend adventures., Johnston & Murphy has been a name in leather goods since 1850. Although best known for their shoes which have been made for every U.S. president since Fillmore, their product line also includes strikingly supple and masculine bags including luggage, business cases, and wallets that set the standard for successful, professional men everywhere.
Founded by an immigrant English shoemaker in New Jersey, today the company is based in Nashville, Tennessee and continues their commitment to quality crafstmanship and refined style that is genuine. In essence, Johnston & Murphy bags are ideal for the man who values excellence and substance. The bags are made from rich, vegetable-tanned full grain leather or high-denier ballistic nylon and feature durable stitching, classic style, and modern functionality. And each piece will complete your professional look without any phony trendiness.,,

Two GOP candidates made Monday's deadline to petition onto the primary ballot. Election officials must now verify that each candidate obtained the proper amount of signatures from registered Republican voters.
Sheriff Dennis Spruell and commissioner hopeful James Lambert filed the paperwork Monday with the Montezuma County clerk's office to be placed on the ballot, said County Clerk Carol Tullis.
"We want to have the results for two or three days," Tullis said. "We have to check all of the signatures."
Neither Spruell nor Lambert received the GOP nod from delegates at last month's general assembly, forcing both candidates to obtain hundreds of signatures in order to be placed on the ballot.
Spruell is seeking a second four-year term as Montezuma County Sheriff, and Lambert is seeking his first term as a Montezuma County commissioner. Sheriff candidate Diane Fox said she opted not to petition onto the ballot after losing the GOP nod to sheriff candidate Steve Nowlin.

Background: The Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) was launched in October, 1998 as a commuter rail service between Stockton, CA and San Jose, CA. Considered only as a dream, the ACE service surpassed everyone's imagination and quickly became a successful alternative mode of transportation. The train runs along an 89-mile corridor between the San Joaquin Valley, Tri-Valley, and Silicon Valley, and carries an average of 4,000 passengers each day.
The Challenge: We desire to encapsulate the success of the last ten years, with anticipation and excitement for the future, in a logo to be debuted at a gala. The logo will symbolize the anniversary as a milestone to the future for the entire year between October 2008 and September 2009.
Points to consider while creating the logo:
- The train - logo must have some representation of the ACE train
- 10-Years - logo must speak to the anniversary
- The future - logo should be energizing and symbolic of the future of the agency.
- Our corridor - Think of our line through the Central Valley, the Altamont Pass, Niles Canyon, Santa Clara/Silicon Valley; may include one or parts of our geographical route
- Use at least two colors or more
- Visit http://www.acerail.com for more information about the agencyKeep in mind, logo must be reproducible in all formats, and should be easy to reproduce in small and large formats (think side of locomotive).
Your logo could be seen by millions of people who travel by rail or by car next to the train.
The Reward: Once an entry is chosen, the winner will be notified and required to submit a W9 form to ACE (SJRRC*). The W9 will be processed, and a check for $500 will be sent to the winner. Winner will not be required to submit the winning artwork to the agency until agency confirms that payment has been processed.Â
*The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission is a public agency and is required to receive a W9 from all its vendors. All personal data will be considered confidential; No information from the winner or the winner's W9 will be shared with the public.

As if we didn't have enough with the stock market going down in flames on its own, computers have decided to screw them a little bit more and make everyone go "WTF" for a few minutes this morning. After dropping around two hundred gazillion points yesterday, today the Dow Jones industrials saw another drop of 700 points, which was suddenly reduced to 125 and then went down again. Everyone thought "rebound" for a second there, until they realised what was really happening.
The reason of the sudden swing was artificial, caused by a large chunk of computer-driven orders that pushed the values up, only to drop down again after these were processed. At least according to the Associated Press, which says that this early roller coaster was "likely caused" by these orders, which "kicked-in when prices had fallen far enough to make some stocks look like an attractive bet. But that buying reflected no lifting of the market's deep despair, and selling continued."
Oh noes. Maybe we should all cheer up and let computers run the whole thing for a while then. Or just send stocks to hell altogether. [AP — Thanks OMGponies]

Back in September, Chanel released the Knightsbridge Collection exclusively at Harrod's to commemorate the Chanel pop up shop at Harrod's. Well, for ladies in the U.S., today is our lucky day because the Knightsbridge Collection has made its way across the pond. Available now in the U.S., the Knightsbridge Collection can be purchased exclusively on Chanel.com. The four-piece collection is inspired by the English Rose (hence the rosy hues) and each item is named for a different neighborhood in London. Get those wallets ready quickly, each item is limited edition and I'm sure they will go fast!
What happens when you combine neon with Chanel? You get the Spring Summer 2012 collection. These pieces were not on the runway but a Spanish blogger was invited to a press preview in Madrid and posted some great pics of pieces from the 2102 Chanel spring summer collection.
I love the sneakers – especially the high tops – and did you see the tennis balls? So cute, but too cute to actually play with. We also get glimpses of new bags, shoes and neon jackets. It all looks very summery and fun – can't wait to see it in stores!

Back in November I posted about the Chanel "Les Harmonies de Printemps" Spring 2012 Makeup Collection. Last week I received more info from Chanel about the collection as well as the Swatches.
From the break of dawn to the descent of twilight, skies reveal an enchanting array of hues with the arrival of Spring. Inspired by this brilliant seasonal change, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, infused glowing, sunlit colour into the Spring 2012 Makeup Collection, HARMONIE DE PRINTEMPS. Subtle gradations of rose, coral and peach sculpt the face, giving it a soft radiance, while rich garnets and vivid pinks dress the lips.
In one elegant compact, five pink and peach tones mimic the luminous hues of sunset. This unique powder blush lends itself to multiple effects: blended together, the harmony is ideal for sculpting and accentuating the natural contours of the face. Using just the pink shades creates a fresh, youthful flush, while on their own, the peach tones produce a warm, sun-bronzed glow. $58.00 Limited Edition
The Chanel "Les Harmonies de Printemps" Spring 2012 Makeup Collection is available for sale online now in the U.S. – get those limited edition nail colours before they sell out!
One of the original boutique hotels, Blakes Hotel & Restaurant is beloved by celebrities including Gwenyth Paltrow. Adjoining the famed restaurant is the Chinese Room – a lounge that is the "epitome of decadence and comfort." Fancy people like musicians, film stars and designers are known to flock there – and why not? The Chinese Room is dedicated to Coco Chanel and Marlene Dietrich, of course. When I go back to London one day, I'd love to have a cocktail there.
A few days ago I mentioned that there was a silver toy train chugging away around the main table at the Chanel Métiers d'Art Paris-Bombay 2011/12 show. Today, Chanel released a video taken from the train – it gives a unique perspective of the show and it gives you the impression of riding on the train. Get ready for your ride on the Chanel Paris-Bombay express…
I've said it before, I've said it again – I'm an accessories girl. I like apparel, but I LOVE accessories. To me, apparel is just something you wear under accessories. The Chanel Métiers D'Art Pre-Fall 2012 Paris-Bombay Accessories were so intricate that they could have had a show unto themselves – oppulent would be an understatement. But for all of their embellishment, Karl Lagerfeld managed to make it look all in good taste.
All of the models wore tikka – jewelry hanging on to the forehead that you attach to your hair – the Chanel version differed on some models by the addition of many chains that hung and draped over the side of the face. Bracelets took on a life of their own with some covering the hand and some with finger attachments. Necklaces ran the gamut from chokers to full bib necklaces to running across the body, across the shoulder and even full body jewelry that looked like a mesh overlay worn over clothing. Fingerless gloves and boots have patterns on them that were reminiscent of mehendi henna patterns normally seen on the hands and feet of brides.
New iterations of the Boy bag had all or one of the following: quilting on the front flap, exotic skins, Double-C clasp, and jewel encrusted thick straps. Some bags were in exotic skins while others looked like they were made of metal, some were in metallic leather while others were heavily jewel encrusted. Chanel showed these little pyramid-esque evening purses that looked like they were made to house treasure. My favorite bag was a snake skin clutch with diamond encrusted clasp. Sandals mimicked the bracelets and looked like foot jewelry while some boots looked like they were extensions of the pants. Gold booties looked inspired by men's footwear but were every bit feminine. I can't wait for this collection to be in stores so I can see all of the details in person!

I know there are always questions about this so here's the playlist of the Chanel Paris-Bombay show as seen on Chanel News…
Paris-Bombay Métiers d'Art show
1. Bombay Talkie "Opening Title"
2. George Harrison "My Sweet Lord"
3. David Lynch "Good Day Today"
4. Moon Duo "Seer" (Psychic Ills Remix)
5. John Lennon "Instant Karma!"
Peter Philips created another gorgeous makeup collection to compliment Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel Métiers D'Art Paris-Bombay 2012 presentation. The ubiquitous kohl-rimmed eyes so popular in the South East was reinterpreted for the runway and were the main focus on the face. Lips and cheeks were kept minimal and natural and all of the emphasis was on the very dark eyes.
Several limited edition products were created for the "Bombay Express" collection including POUDRE COMPACTE in Route des Indes de CHANEL, ILLUSION D'OMBRE Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Nirvana, JOUES CONTRASTE Powder Blush in Brume d'Or, ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Empreinte and LE VERNIS Nail Colour in Diwali. I am most excited about Illusion d'Ombre in Nirvana and Le Vernis in Diwali. Based on the glimpses we saw on the runway, I'm guessing that Nirvana will be black – though I'm wondering how different it will be to Mirifique. Diwali or the "festival of lights" is one of the most joyous celebrations in India. Based on the runway images Le Vernis Diwali looks goldish-luminiscent and based on the name I can imagine the color was inspired by lights. The Exclusive Creation Collection Chanel 'Bombay Express' will be available in select Chanel makeup counters in June 2012.
Here are the details from Chanel on the products used to create the look:
Peter Philips, Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup used the following CHANEL products to create the runway beauty looks:

I'm not sure what it is about February that makes campus so antsy. The weather is a mercurial mix of rainy and beautiful, the absence of football season gives us no justifiable reason to scream loudly once a weekend, and the looming, candy-coated spectre of Valentine's Day reminds us all too well of our romantic frustrations. My normal approach is useless here.
But whether it's midterms, project classes ramping up, or The Man that's gettin' you down, there's no reason too small not to shake it out. As the Daily editors remind you of the importance of free speech on campus, I implore you to heed the words of V from V for Vendetta that
a revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having"
It's times like these that make a student body want to shake its collective groove thang. Good thing the slew of upcoming events on campus is perfectly suited to fulfill that need.
Lunar New Year Festival – Saturday, February 9, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., White Plaza
- The Stanford Vietnamese Student Association is pulling together your favorite student performance groups to celebrate the New Year in style. Watch, dance, and chow down while appreciating our talented fellow students.
Stanford Dance Marathon – Saturday, February 9 – Sunday, February 10
- The infamous annual event unites students from across campus in the common goal of fighting AIDS. And occasionally in the conga line.
- Whether you're stickin' it out for all 24 hours, boosting the energy as a moraler, or swinging by for some much-needed stress detox, enjoyment abounds in the form of glowsticks, pillowfights, sunrise yoga, and guest performances and dance lessons from dance groups on campus. The best all-nighter you've ever spent.
Austria Fortnight – various events, February 9 – 20
- The annual Viennese Ball is preceded by two weeks of free dance lessons throughout campus. Whether you're starting from square one, brushing off your polished moves, or unabashedly seeking a last-minute valentine, these low-key practice sessions are a great way to meet new friends and get the wiggles out.
- No, not those Wiggles. We like them.
Viennese Ball – Friday, February 22, 8 p.m. – 2 a.m., Palace Hotel SF
- Perhaps Stanford's classiest affair of the year, Viennese Ball has brought classical dance and live music to Stanford students since 1978. In its current form, Viennese features a choreographed waltz opening, tasty hor d'oeuvres, a fun photo booth, and swing and waltz rooms with live bands into the wee hours of the morning.
- Whether you're a social dance pro or just learning, it's a great way to meet new people, have fun with a partner, and enjoy live music in a luxurious setting. Ticket sales open next week.
Whether you're stressed, chill, or looking for a few hours to kill, consider joining Stanford's rich culture of dance this winter quarter. Heck, even former Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh is gettin' his groove on.

John of Gaunt's famous words in Shakespeare's Richard II, Act 2, Scene 1, are a fitting introduction to this edition of my blog.
For many years, I have been writing articles, letters, commentaries and blogs, warning against the criminogenic character of the British High Street Banking Industry. I have given evidence to a House of Commons Select Committee, I have written reports for H.M.Treasury, and I sent detailed evidence to George Osborne before the Coalition was elected, detailing the evidence which clearly demonstrated that the financial sector in this country, and particularly the banks, were riddled with a 'get rich quick at any cost' mentality, and that the private citizen would increasingly get a bad deal, as the level of institutionalised greed and white collar crime proliferated.
In my evidence to Government and the Treasury, I demonstrated how the financial regulators were failing to do their job properly, and how, by their laissez-faire attitude, they were encouraging a culture of criminality to flourish within the financial sector.
With the news this week, first of the wholesale rigging of the LIBOR market by Barclays and other British Banks, criminal activities which have been going on since at least 2005, quickly followed by the news of concerted fraud in the sale of interest rate swaps, the London financial market has plumbed new depths of depravity and outright dishonesty, and downright criminality.
Let us not beat about the bush, these activities are manifestly criminal and are dealt with perfectly adequately within section 2-4 of the Fraud Act 2006. It is disingenuous for the FSA to say that they are dealing with this matter civilly, because there is no specific criminality designed to deal with these facts. This is arrant nonsense and demonstrates the lamentable lack of personal courage and moral fibre that permeates the apparatchiks at the FSA.
They should have run an in tandem investigation together with the SFO, using both civil and criminal powers at the same time. The SFO could quickly have identified the identities of the leading traders who motivated these scams, and then they, together with the relevant executives, up to and including Bob Diamond should have been arrested and brought in for questioning. Diamond was the head of Barclays Capital when this activity was at its height, for God's sake, and he was benefiting hugely from the impact of the illicit profits being made.
This entire sorry mess has been predicated by a wholesale lack of regulatory vigour. The FSA has been allowed to develop a 'Good Chaps' syndrome, a 'safe pair of hands' mentality, meaning that they employed people who would focus on the exact letter of their brief, and who would never step outside the line of enquiry, even though glaring criminal offences were staring them in the face.
This was largely brought about by the policy of 'light touch' regulation, inaugurated by Gordon Brown and Ed Balls, when they thought that the City was making money by being left alone. Such tax as was being paid to the Treasury persuaded Brown that the City was doing a fine job.
What this stupid man never realised was that behind the flimsy facade of compliance, the City was doing what all criminal gangs do, making money out of sight and out of mind. They had completely bamboozled the politicos by paying superficial lip service to compliance, thus deflecting criticism of their actions, while in reality, ignoring the rules entirely.
Banks and financial institutions are like the story of the scorpion who stings and kills the frog carrying him across the river to help save the scorpion's family in their blazing house. In stinging the frog, the scorpion, who cannot swim, knows he too will drown, and as they are swept under the water he cries out, 'I couldn't help it, it's in my nature'.
It is in the nature of banks and financial institutions to cheat and steal from their clients. It's in their cultural DNA. It is perfectly useless for politicians to now demand enquiries into the culture of banking to assess why things have gone so badly wrong. The culture of the financial sector is 'get rich quick', 'get it now', and the devil take the regulations. Bankers despise regulators, they treat them like muppets, and they will do everything in their power to avoid the consequences of bank regulations.
They have an army of apologists in the form of the British Banker's Association, the CBI, the IoD, and assorted MPs and Lords. Old bankers are trotted out to opine that things are not as bad as everyone seems to think, no doubt conscious of their own place in the scheme of things.
High Street banks and bankers are now nothing short of organised criminal enterprises. One NCIS definition states that such crime consists of "... those involved on a continuing basis, normally working with others, in committing crimes for substantial profit or gain...", and Interpol's interpretation is "..Any group having a corporate structure whose objective is to obtain money through illegal activities, often surviving through the use of corruption." Finally a UN definition refers to "...transnational, national, or local groupings of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals among which are the purposes of engaging in illegal activity, most commonly for monetary profit..."
Any of these definitions fits the actions of Barclays bank and many others perfectly.
Even Lord Turner of the FSA has belatedly woken up to the scandal he has been gaily overseeing in his Lordly, mandarin-like way! He has said of the banking community;
"..."There is a degree of cynicism and greed that is quite shocking. I think we would be fooling ourselves if we thought that some of the behaviour and culture evidenced in Libor fixing are not found in some other areas of trading activity as well."
Well, he should know, (well you would have thought he ought to know). In reality this statement betrays the root of the problem, people like Lord Turner simply never for one minute thought that the nice chaps in suits were really in the same league as Don Corleone, but merely better at it!
That in effect is one of the key indicators within the white-collar conundrum. Regulators are simply not equipped to equate the activities of businessmen with those of ordinary criminals. Edwin Sutherland, the sociologist who first coined the phrase 'white collar crime' once said "...Probably much more important however, is the cultural homogeneity of legislators, judges and regulators with businessmen. Legislators admire and respect businessmen and cannot conceive of them as 'criminals'; businessmen do not conform to the popular stereotype of the 'criminal..."
William Chambliss, one of Sutherland's students said; "…One of the reasons we fail to understand business crime is because we put crime into a category that is separate from normal business. Much crime does not fit into a separate category. It is primarily a business activity...'
That is what this activity is, it is simply criminal and the only way these people can be dealt with is as the professional criminals they are. We don't need another enquiry, that will just waste important time. We already have the laws with which to deal with these organised criminals and the Government must ensure that they are used, aggressively, if they wish to retain any credibility.
Years ago, when I was a detective, I was sent to the US to study financial regulation. I spent time with the SEC and the CFTC as well as studying with all the major US Exchanges, and I returned a committed admirer of their abilities to regulate their market. When I was leaving to return to London, the Head of Enforcement of the SEC, who had just read the UK White Paper which would become the Financial Services Act 1986,and with which he was deeply unimpressed, said to me;
"...You British seem to believe that the financial market can be regulated by gentlemen in their spare time, in between deals. You assume that everyone who handles someone else's money is a gentleman, and you are shocked and concerned when you find out the converse is true. Here in the US, we assume that anyone who handles another person's money has the propensity to be a thief, and we legislate for the possibility. When you finally take the time and trouble to put in place a system of regulation which will really work, then we'll take you seriously, but until then, don't waste our time..!"
He was right.

Reason Why Wait , Notify and NotifyAll are in Object Class.
@Lipido has made an insightful comment , which is worth adding here. read his comment for full text
"Java is based on Hoare's monitors idea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_%28synchronization%29). In Java all object has a monitor. Threads waits on monitors so, to perform a wait, we need 2 parameters:
- a Thread
- a monitor (any object)
In the Java design, the thread can not be specified, it is always the current thread running the code. However, we can specify the monitor (which is the object we call wait on). This is a good design, because if we could make any other thread to wait on a desired monitor, this would lead to an "intrusion", posing difficulties on designing/programming concurrent programs. Remember that in Java all operations that are intrusive in another thread's execution are deprecated (e.g. stop())."

Quick Look: White Noise by TMSoft
by Rob on
February 17, 2009
Filed under Quick Look, Utility
White Noise has been in the App Store for as long as I can remember. In fact, it was one of the first apps that I installed on my iPhone, shortly after the apps initial release. This is one app that seems to be enjoying a long stay in the 'popular' category and so for that – we decided it deserved a mention here on our site.
Initially released in September, white noise offered users an array of different white noises. These noises ranged from rain and waves to fans and other common sounds used to get babies and ourselves to sleep at night or to bring us privacy and sanity in a noise laden environment. White Noise continues to evolve, even ever-so slowly, and is now a feature rich application that produces many types of… you guessed it: white noise. If you're like me and can't sleep without the fan on, then this app is a must have before any vacation or business trip – trust me, it will save you from sleepless nights.
White Noise is $.99 in the iTunes App Store.
