The Musée du Louvre, situated at the heart of Paris, is the biggest Parisian museum ans one of the greatest in the world with its 160 106 m².
The Musée du Louvre owns 300 000 works of art and more than 30 000 are exposed. The rest of the works are exposed in the Musée d'Orsay for the period from 1848 to 1914 and to the Centre d'Art Contemporain Georges Pompidou for the period from 1914 to nowadays.
The Musée du Louvre underwent a total renovation in 1981 and the construction of the pyramid that ended in 1993 gave a younger aspect to the museum.
The Musée du Louvre is starting a great period of modernization; new architectural project, renovations, multimedia guides, access t everybody… Until 2020, the works will be numerous in order to turn the Louvre into a vanguard museum.
In order to highlight some collections, the museum is starting the renovation of three spaces. The first, gathering the 18th century furniture, was not included in the works of the Grand Louvre. Thus, it will be modernized and brought to standards.
The Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities will be rearranged in a new circuit and the Cour du Sphinx will be entirely renovated.
Finally, the nine rooms of the Sully wing sheltering 17th and 19th century French and British paintings will be reorganized and connected better to the rest of the museum thanks to different footbridges.
The works that already began and those to come for the realization of the vast project "Louvre 2020" concern different steps and places. If some of them will be spectacular – like the creation of a new department of Islamic Arts in the Cour Visconti – some others will be more unnoticed but they are fundamental for the modernization and the evolution of such a museum.
Thus, the opening to disabled people and the installation of a multimedia guide show that the Louvre is perpetually moving and that its aim is to renew constantly.
At the center of cultural initiatives more than ever, today the Musée du Louvre wants to spread its radiation and is developing two annexes: one in Lens and another in Abu Dhabi.
Result of the cultural devolution and democratization, the project Louvre-Lens will enable to present the works of arts of the museum in the region Nord Pas-de-Calais.
After an international architecture competition that began in 2005, the project management of the future museum was won by a Japanese team. The opening is planned for 2010.
Opening hours
- Everyday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on Tuesdays
- Late-night opening until 10 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays
- On Tuesdays and these bank holidays: January 1st, May 1st, November 11th and December 25th
- Full fare – 14€
- Reduced fare – 12€ (from 6 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.): Ticket valid for the late-night openings at the Louvre on Wednesdays and Fridays.
- Free on the first Sunday of each month
- Free for young people under 18, under 26 on Friday night, for the owners of the Carte Louvre Jeunes, the students of the Ecole du Louvre, the "Amis du Louvre", disabled people owner of an invalidity card and his guide, jobseekers and people who are granted minimum integration revenues.

Oct. 06--The Downtown comedy duo -- comprising Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada -- are sitting on a train speeding towards Narita Airport outside Tokyo. It's not like they're going anywhere, or doing anything, even -- they're just sitting there and waiting for something to happen. "Something" in this case is a gag carefully engineered in advance by their team of comedian acolytes.
This is vintage Downtown -- from a mid-1990s episode of the television program "Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji (Downtown's Feeling Real Good)" -- and the pair are in their element, giggling expectantly as they watch suburban Chiba Prefecture whiz by from the train's elevated vantage point. Big concrete buildings give way to houses, which give way to broad rivers and then fields -- and then the gag arrives, albeit in staccato glimpses caught from the speeding train's window.
First there's what looks like a wearable plush giraffe suit lying in a field. A few seconds later, there's another. "Eleking! Eleking's dead!" Matsumoto cries out in shock at the apparent demise of what is not a giraffe at all, but a monster from a 1960s live-action sci-fi TV show.
Soon another dead Eleking appears, slumped in a field -- then another on top of a warehouse roof. Matsumoto breaks into laughter as he sits, nose pressed against the train window: "Elekings are falling left right and center. Who could be doing this?!"
And then, the punch line: The train whizzes past at just the right moment for an apparently rampaging farmer (in fact comedian Itsuji Itao) to be seen using a pitchfork to inflict a mortal blow on yet another hapless Eleking.
Matsumoto doubles over in his seat with uncontrollable laughter.
I was reminded of this eight-minute sequence -- which obviously required not only the cooperation of countless staff, landowners and the Keisei train company -- as Matsumoto was telling me about his television work from the mid-1990s.
"We could pretty much do anything we wanted back then," the now-iconic comedian said, adding that back then they had almost unlimited budgets. "It was a good time for the TV stations and a good time for us," he said with a smile.
And the good times are continuing for Matsumoto. The 50-year-old is still one of the country's most ubiquitous TV personalities -- appearing in numerous regular and special one-off shows. But, more importantly, he has over the last six years branched out into a new field -- one that he says offers far more freedom than is offered by the now belt-tightening TV stations: filmmaking.
In fact it was -- ostensibly, at least -- for the purpose of discussing his latest directorial outing, titled "R100," that he agreed to sit down recently for this interview with The Japan Times.
Nonetheless, in light of Matsumoto having had such a long and varied and, indeed, fascinating career, this writer decided from the outset not to dwell long on "R100? -- a flick starring Nao Omori that's essentially about sado-masochistic bondage -- which is not really the stuff of a family-oriented newspaper such as ours.
So, after politely inquiring into the Matsumoto mind for any insights to be gleaned from that tale of a sorry salaryman's encounter with some particularly indiscreet dominatrices, your intrepid reporter delved into the comedian's past -- his childhood in the working-class city of Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, his meeting with his Downtown partner Hamada and his attendance in the early 1980s at NSC, a then brand-new school operated by one then little-known agency, Yoshimoto Kogyo.
Of course Yoshimoto Kogyo is now an entertainment behemoth -- a status that they owe in no small part to Matchan and Hamachan, as the Downtown duo are generally known.
In the late '80s, the pair were among a small stable of talent that the company -- and in particular a talented manager named Hiroshi Osaki, who is now its president -- brought from Osaka to Tokyo.
In Osaka, Downtown had started out as a manzai act, specializing in two-person routines between a so-called boke (half-wit) -- in their case Matsumoto -- and a tsukkomi (straight-guy) -- Hamada -- who would tend to slap his partner over the head to admonish him for his stupidity.
But Downtown never really followed the formula precisely, and Hamada's tsukkomi was often as half-witted as Matsumoto's boke. They also branched out at an early stage from stand-up routines to skits, and it was their penchant for odd surrealism -- generally accepted to have been courtesy of Matsumoto -- that really propelled their rapid rise through the ranks of Tokyo's TV hierarchy.
In one storied series of skits from a TV show titled "Downtown no Gottsu E Kanji," Matsumoto plays a snotty little boy, recently deceased, who sticks his head out from behind his gravestone during his own sad and staid funeral to torment his older brother.
"Call the monk a 'baldy,' " he urges his sibling, before doing it himself, then quickly hiding so his brother has to take the blame.
Such skits soon gave way to bizarre real-world setups like the the Eleking dramas witnessed through the train windows on the way to Narita airport, and a whole range of the kind of talk-show and variety programs for which Japanese TV is well known.
Matsumoto still appears in countless TV shows, but when we met it was his film work that was uppermost in his thoughts -- so it was with "R100, that we kicked off our conversation.
A man joins a bondage club but finds the dominatrices come chasing after him in real life: The story for your fourth film is not exactly run of the mill, even by your standards. Where did the idea come from?
Well my third film, "Saya Zamurai (Scabbard Samurai)," was probably the most filmic of all my films, so with this one I kind of wanted to really cut loose. The theme this time as far as I was concerned was, "How strange can I make this?" I think I did pretty well.
On a scale of one to 10, just how strange was it?
About a nine, I guess. If you make it too crazy, then it ends up a mess, so it needs about 10 percent that actually gives it some kind of order.
I see, but with the main subject being bondage, you are testing the limits from the get-go. Without going into too much detail, can you tell me what you think it is that human beings might find attractive about that particular pastime?
Well, what I said to the lead actor, Nao Omori, was that, you know, I believe that men have a cunning streak. So, even if their family is in a state like that of Omori's character Katayama -- with the wife in a coma and a young child at home -- the man still has this irrepressible urge to pursue immorality, to go and run wild.
It's like sitting at home to dinner with the family, but in the back of your mind thinking about what you are going to do when you hit the town later that night.
So that desire is represented by the secret club.
Usually, even if someone were to have such desires, they wouldn't normally act on them.
That's right, usually such desires would be suppressed. The film shows what can go wrong when they are acted on. Katayama incurs a kind of divine punishment.
I see. But still, in choosing to act on his desires and embark on his adventure, he is assuming the passive role of a masochist. So, while breaking free, he is also choosing to submit himself to the whims of these mysterious women. Is there a contradiction there? You would be aware, I presume, that one foreigners' stereotype about Japanese people -- men, in particular -- is that they are kind of passive. The salaryman does what he is told, doesn't assert himself, doesn't make a fuss. That Katayama's breakout fantasy involves subjugation seems connected to that. What do you think?
I see, yes that hadn't actually occurred to me, but I think you might be right. There is an element of that in the national character, isn't there.
Just a thought.
Yes, yes, if you were to assign characteristics by nationality then I think you would say the Japanese tend toward passivity.
And that trait appears to be most pronounced in the men -- which accords to the gender division in your film, whose central character is a weak, submissive man being lorded over by an array of powerful women.
Right, yes -- but I think it would have been tough to make a comedy from the perspective of a dominatrix!
Indeed. Name some more of those national characteristics of the Japanese, just for the men.
I think in fact men like Katayama probably are quite common. He has this desire inside him and it grows and grows so much that it starts to have an impact on his life and his family. The only difference between him and the average salaryman is that Katayama actually acts on his desires. I think a lot of people deliberately suppress theirs.
How about you? Do you tend to suppress or act on your desires?
Me? Of course, I have desires I suppress. But I guess you could say I am relatively free at expressing my desires.
What kind of desires do you suppress?
Well I'm much better at coming home early nowadays. On average I probably get home about two hours earlier than I used to.
I see. Being the father of a young child is one thing you have in common with the Katayama character in the film. And one of the key moments in the film is when Katayama suffers the embarrassment of having his son catch him "engaged" with a particularly enthusiastic dominatrix. Is there anything about yourself that you'd rather keep secret from your daughter?
Hah! Well, given that my daughter is 4, and that this film ended up with an R rating, I actually hope she doesn't see it -- at least for a while. She'd be like, "Papa, what on earth are you doing?"
Does she have an understanding of what it is you do for a living?
The interesting thing is that just the other day we were walking down the street together and someone came up and said, "Matsumoto-san, can I shake your hand?" Afterward, my daughter turned and said, "Who was that? Your friend?" Explaining that was hard.
And in addition to your being famous, has your daughter actually realized that your occupation is to make people laugh?
I'm not sure what she thinks now, but initially my daughter had this aversion to Hamada! She was like, "I don't like that man." When she was asked why, she'd say: "Because he always hits Papa."
One thing all your films have in common is that they are about particularly weak men who through various odd sets of circumstances have to fulfill some strange destiny. There was an element of that in 2007's "Dai-Nipponjin (Big Man Japan)," "Saya Zamurai" ("Symbol") two years later -- and now it's there again in "R100." What is it you find attractive about such stories, or such characters?
I don't actually think about it too much, but I guess it is the pathos of man that I find attractive -- the sorrow. It's a sadness, but one with something that you can laugh at, something that makes you giggle. There is a lot of that.
Do you relate to such characters yourself?
I guess I do. You can't shoot what you don't know, so I need that element of sympathy for the character.
Were you ever weak yourself -- like when you were a child?
Absolutely. I was really weak. I was really weak and, hmm, our family wasn't that well off. That's where the laughter came from. I think a lot of myself as I am today stems from that time.
Did you think back then that you wanted to become strong or succeed -- did you have that kind of desire?
Well, I was no good at my studies -- I couldn't do sports and I wasn't popular with the girls. The only thing I had was a reputation for being kind of funny. That was all I had, and I've tried to make something of it.
When did you decide you wanted to be a comedian?
In high school. I couldn't see that I'd be able to do any other job.
When did you meet Hamada?
I was with him right through from elementary school, but it wasn't till junior high that we started being friends. Without him I don't think I would have done this.
What do you think you would be doing now if you had never met him?
Gosh, I think I would have been holed up in some out-of-the-way corner of Osaka living a very inconsequential life. Not that that would have been a bad thing!
Shortly after graduating from high school you were among the first batch of students to enter Yoshimoto Kogyo's newly formed school, NSC. The idea that you could study at a school to be a comedian must have been very novel back then. What made you join?
Up until then, it wasn't possible to become a comedian without spending several years apprenticing with an established professional -- a rakugo (comic storytelling) artist, for example. But right at the time we graduated from high school, NSC opened and, to be honest, we thought it looked easier than spending years with a mentor. That was it basically.
So you entered NSC with Hamada. What kind of work did you do together? Manzai (Comedy duo)? Skits?
Manzai. We did a bit of skit work, but back then it was basically manzai.
What kind of subject matter did you work with?
I guess the most important thing was that we thought that unless we were doing
something original there wouldn't be much point in doing it at all. That was our theme -- to try and do something not being done by anyone else. That was our approach to manzai and it is still my approach to film now.
What was the norm back then? What kind of comedy were you trying to distinguish yourselves from?
It was all really by-the-book. The boke (half-wit) would always say something interesting and the tsukkomi (straight guy) would always come in with, "Don't do that!" I think we broke that pattern down a little.
NSC was located in Osaka, and for the first few years you worked in that city. Why did you decide to come to Tokyo? Did it take guts to make the switch?
Ah, people often talk about the Tokyo-Osaka relationship as though they are almost equals, but that is just wrong. Tokyo is completely the center of Japan and Osaka is just one regional city. It's no different from Nagoya or Fukuoka, really. So, for that reason, as someone who grew up in Osaka then, of course I dreamt of making it in Tokyo.
But it did require guts to actually make the switch. If you're a comedian, then for starters you have the handicap of the Osaka dialect -- which when we were young was still not really accepted in Tokyo. (Downtown helped make it popular.) I wouldn't go so far as to say there was discrimination, but it was close.
You've made all sorts of TV programs in the past. Which would you say was the most enjoyable -- the best?
I guess that would be "Gottsu Ee Kanji," around the mid-1990s. That was when we were most free to do the kind of skits we wanted. I think for me, personally, that was the most satisfying program we've done.
So the skits were more fun than the manzai?
Was that because there was no format -- you were completely free?
I guess that was part of it. But then, back in Osaka when we were doing TV, the stations didn't have much money to spend on shows -- but in Tokyo it was a real golden age in terms of budgets. We could pretty much do anything we wanted. It was a good time for the TV stations and a good time for us.
I imagine in the past you've made countless proposals for new TV shows to TV stations -- and that many have been rejected. Which was the rejection that caused you the most heartache?
Ha! Gosh, there are so many I can't say. There are so many, even today.
Really? Are there any that you are still determined to realize?
No, well -- I guess I don't actually see much future in TV, and that's part of the reason why I'm making films.
It certainly doesn't seem like you suffer many restrictions in your film-making!
One of my own favorites among all your TV programs is "Ippon Grand Prix," which forces contestant comedians to come up with impromptu one-line gags on various topics. Do you see that as a sort of test of their innate talent?
Yes, because the jokes must stem from a single idea, so you really get a feel for the competitors' sense. It is very simple -- but I like that. That's really the foundation of my own work, too. It's good that we invite the viewers to participate from home, too. I like that show a lot.
Watching programs like that, I get the feeling that you have this ideal of how a comedian should be -- like he or she must be able to respond quickly and creatively. It's almost as though you believe that comedy is an art form and you want your colleagues to be striving to achieve a particularly high level of artistry.
I think there is an important difference between comedy and art -- and that is that comedy should not be so proficient, or clever, that it becomes "art."I think if it really became art, then you wouldn't actually laugh anymore. Comedy has to be one step back from art -- but that's not to say it shouldn't have artistic elements.
What kind of artistic elements are you thinking of?
I think if you really perfect comedy too much -- if it is really gets to be too good -- then your audience just ends up being impressed, like: "Oh, my!" As a creator, of course, that is a good thing, but ultimately you don't want the impression of your proficiency to overshadow the actual laughs. If you get too much "Oh, my!" then the audience is in fact responding with surprise more than with laughter.
Your new film's title is "R100? -- with the joke being that it is designed for people over the age of 100. Meanwhile, I believe you are celebrating a very important birthday tomorrow. Could you tell us your thoughts on turning 50 and your thoughts on the prospect of one day turning 100.
I wonder what kind of film I would make if I lived to 100. I'm interested in that. And on turning 50: When I entered this industry, to be honest I thought I would have retired by now. But here I am still doing it, and I have no intention of retiring. I wonder how long I can keep it up ...
Do you think the timing of your retirement will be something you choose yourself?
I wonder. Even if I wanted to keep working, but I couldn't get any jobs, then for all intents and purposes I would have retired. But it's hard to say. I guess my personality is such that if people want me continue, I will.
"R100? was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival and opened in cinemas in Japan on Oct. 5. Screenings at Toho Cinemas Roppongi and Umeda Burg Theater 7 are with English subtitles. See the website at www.r-100.com for further details.

Downtown comedian leans from TV to film
Oct. 06--The Downtown comedy duo -- comprising Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada -- are sitting on a train speeding towards Narita Airport outside Tokyo. It's not like they're going anywhere, or doing anything, even -- they're just sitting there and waiting for something to happen. "Something" in this case is a gag carefully engineered in advance by their team of comedian acolytes.

?It has almost been a year...
It has almost been a year since Dr. Moelleken performed a facelift, mid-facelift, blepharoplasty, mini nose job, and lateral brow lift on me. I look fantastic!! I look incredibly natural, well rested and much younger than my true age. The scars are not noticeable and I receive many compliments about my appearance. It was well worth the time out of my practice and trip from NYC to LA to be treated by Dr. Moelleken. The results have had a positive impact on my social life and dating. Dr. Moelleken as well as his team are also extremely kind, courteous, attentive and caring. As I said in a previous post Dr. Moelleken is the surgeon's choice for a plastic surgeon!!!
Dr. Moelleken is attentive, understanding, kind and caring. He is a true artist and provides a very natural, younger appearance. He is a phenomenal cosmetic plastic surgeon.
I am a well-known, accomplished 45 year old male surgeon from New York City who sought out Dr. Brent Moelleken and traveled to L.A. for surgical treatment. Dr. Brent did a phenomenal job with my surgery. He is certainly the SURGEON'S SURGEON!! All the long, hard hours of work and lack of sleep took a toll on my facial appearance. My body was in good shape as I exercised often however my face didn't seem to match my physique. I had developed excessive laxity in my facial skin that led to a very tired and often angry or sad appearance. My eye-lids were hanging over my eye lashes and my cheeks were drooping which led to a hollowness under my eyes and deep nasolabial folds. I had also developed jowls, a turkey neck and my nose seemed to become bulbous as I grew older. I was looking for a refreshed, rejuvenated and more gentle appearance that was also natural looking and not pulled. I performed extensive research into which procedures would benefit me the most and also researched many surgeons in New York, Los Angeles as well as other areas of the country (reading about the surgeons but also questioning colleagues). I chose Dr. Brent Moelleken for my plastic surgery for many reasons. While he was an extremely well accomplished surgeon with outstanding credentials and many publications, he was truly an artist and an innovator. His patients' results were very natural in appearance and he seemed to individualize each patient's surgery according to their goals and expectations taking into consideration their current appearance. He was a surgeon who paid attention to extreme detail. I met with Dr. Brent and he recommended a treatment plan that included a cheek lift, full face lift, blepharoplasty, nose tip surgery, small chin implant and lateral brow lift. He was very kind, compassionate and understanding with regard to my concerns and very conservative in his approach. I underwent the above procedures during a single operation 3 months ago. My results are fantastic!! The swelling is completely gone. I look entirely refreshed and probably 10 years younger. Coworkers and friends have told me how good I look and asked me if I lost weight or have been exercising. They have no idea I underwent surgery. My cheeks no longer droop; you can see my blue eyes; my nose looks prettier and I have a chiseled jaw and chin. The incisions are well hidden and not noticeable at all. It is even hard for me to find the incisions. It goes without saying that I am incredibly pleased with my surgery and with the care and attention that Dr. Brent as well as his entire staff gave me before, during and after the surgery. Dr. Brent is the BEST!!

5 Thrifty Ideas to Help Put Off a Bathroom Renovation
Have a very basic bathroom? One that is outdated? One that is functioning (for the time being) but really needs a serious overhaul? Just because it's "time" to do a renovation doesn't mean the cash is there, so sometimes a waiting period of a year or two (or more) is the plan. Here are a few ideas to tide your bathroom over, style-wise, until you can take on the big job. Jump below for the list:
1. Switching out old accessories makes a huge difference. A new toilet paper holder, towel rods and toothbrush holders can seriously update a space. Add in new towels and shower curtain and the whole room can feel transformed.
2. Take on a paint job. A fresh coat of new color or pristine white makes any room feel better, and in a small space like a bathroom, it's a weekend job.
3. Regrout. A fairly simple (and very cheap) DIY, this project can make the oldest, worn out bathing area feel 1000 times cleaner.
4. Replace the lighting. A bit more expensive, since an electrician is probably a good idea for bathroom, but new, more flattering, modern lighting is one fix that you can make now to improve the "feel" of the room dramatically, and can possibly leave in place once you take on the larger renovation down the road.
5. Stuck with outdated (or even awful) colors of tiles and fixtures? Make a virtue out of a disadvantage by celebrating those (insert funky color of choice here) fixtures or tiles with matching towels, retro artwork and maybe even some over-the-top wallpaper. You can't hide it, so you might as well embrace it for the time being.

How expensive is it to move a toilet? My bathroom is (should be) laid out exactly like the pic above except the toilet is flipped around - on the opposite wall! It drives me crazy since i can't imagine why it was done that way! Any thoughts?
Hey any chance of getting tips for Man's bathroom and Apartment?
I am not saying I dont like the bath above, it just Aint for me.
Change the color of the wall and replace the shower curtain and you're all set.
petworthdc: moving a toilet is not cheap!
But I agree, that is weird.
So weird that maybe there is an even weirder plumbing based reason for it being that way (translation: even more pricey). I'd try to make the most of what I imagine as being a "nook" between the vanity and the tub. Shelving perhaps?
Thanks wendy-rae. As it is, it is a bit of a zig-zag getting to the tub so I was afraid to put too much there. I'll try the shelving.
I think it should also be noted that replacing an outdated mirror/medicine cabinet with a framed mirror (like the one shown above) is also an instant boost to a bathroom making it look more modern.
My bathroom walls are tiled from floor to ceiling. It's not terribly old looking, relatively neutral with some accent tiles with blue flowers in one bath and gold ones in the other, but not old enough to be chic. The work required to rip it out would be extensive, and expensive. Anyone know if I could just paint over some of the flowered tiles?
petworthdc - the toilet in my bathroom is laid out weird too, similar to how you describe yours. I just got a quote for moving the toilet, and the cost is $600 - $800 because my toilet is on a slab. If yours is not on concrete, it could be much cheaper. However, every plumbing situation is different and, as wendy-rae mentioned, there could be a very good reason for the layout. In my case, it's just very bad design. Keep in mind - I have to tear out drywall, tear up all the tile (it's hideous anyway), and the plumber has to jackhammer the concrete slab to move the plumbing. It's not a small job at all. I'd suggest having a plumber give you a free estimate and then decide if it's worth it. As hard as it is to stomach the cost, I truly can't stand mine the way it is. I'm saving up (thank you, tax rebate!) and I'm going to have it done. Good luck!
Does anyone know where you can find white shower curtains similar to the ones Anthropolgoe sells that aren't around $100??
I need a solution for an ugly sink. My rental's sink has chunks of porcelain missing from around the overflow hole. Of course I can't replace it, but is there some way to diminish the ugly? It chips off a little more every day.

This was recommended to us by the Hotel Telluride staff for watching the Bronco game. The owner is such a hoot and really made us feel welcome. Food was outstanding.
My family and I have been eating this BBQ for over 10 years! It is a must not miss experience in Telluride, Colorado. Also, this is one of the best places to catch sporting events with a great crowd on many big screens. Happy eating!
Poor atmosphere combined with an undercooked (raw) hamburger equals a bad experience. Avoid this place!!
A relatively cheap option in Telluride Oak as Fat Ally is now called is great for a casual dinner or an apres drink and snack. With a cool set up and outdoor seating that is great during the spring, Oak/Fat Ally is worth a visit.
My husband and I went for supper. The service was great, the owner was very attentive. He came back often to check on us and make sure everything was ok. I had the pork sandwich and sweet potato fries. The sandwich wasn't bad but wasnt the best I have ever had either. Also had no bbq sauce on it. I...
The Fat Alley BBQ was buzzing with people when we arrived during the film festival. We sat outside and enjoyed our meal. My husband had the full rack of ribs and they were very good. I had the 3 slider appetizer which was more than enough as a meal. Once our food was brought to us, no one came out...
Ok, this is my first online review and you know it's bad if it prompted me to write a review. We came here after seeing it ranked as one of the top BBQ joints in the country. My brother in law and I love eating in KC at the different BBQ joints and were totally excited to try this out....
Really liked this for a reasonably priced, low-key dinner, and the atmosphere and food quality are very good. Nice place to get dinner on the off night where you don't want to spend big for a fancy sit down. Tasty BBQ!
To hell with this place!!!! And their management too!!!! First off terrible service, worst by far in telluride we have experienced over 6 others we visited. Then to top it off their salmon was rancid and made my girlfriend so unbelievably sick she was sitting by the toilet puking for an hour!!! I called to let them know they may...
The food was very good and the price wasn't bad considering the costs in town. The portions were big and the burgers are about an inch thick.

The Mathematics Department serves essentially every CBU student and is probably the biggest service department at CBU. It provides courses for Arts majors, courses for Business majors, and many courses for Engineering and Science majors. It offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics, a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and a dual degree in Math and Computer Science. There are options in the math degree in bioinformatics with a minor in biology or chemistry, and an option in forensics with a minor in biology. Most people recognize that you can teach with a math degree, and we do have a program for teacher licensure in Math. There are lots of other career options with a Math degree.
Math for some students is a fascinating and wonderful subject. For others it is something initially feared and dreaded. This wide range in attitudes and backgrounds in mathematics provides quite a challenge for the department. To handle this challenge, the departmental faculty have tried many different teaching techniques and use a wide array of tools.
It all starts with trying to place students at the appropriate level. The initial placement is based on ACT scores, but the department offers placement tests for those who think their ACT results do not really indicate their level of skill and knowledge.
The Mathematics Department continues to explore ways to increase student success. To meet the needs of students who require a review of algebra before attempting other mathematics courses, the department has recently created two new ALG courses, ALG ALG 115 and ALG 120 for day students, and it is working to provide three new ALG courses for the professional studies program. They are designed to prepare the student for Finite Math, MATH 105. The department hired Mrs. Sandra Davis a couple years ago to help with the new ALG courses. The Math 103 course was designed as a prerequisite for those that will take Precalculus and Calculus. Both the ALG courses and the MATH 103 course use computer tutorials to supplement instruction by the professor. These tutorials allow students to spend more time concentrating on individual weaknesses.
For those students who need preparation for calculus, the department is adding a third track. It is keeping the three hour MATH 117 Precalclulus course for the better prepared students. It is also keeping the six hour MATH 129 Functions and Engineering Calculus for engineering students how need help in preparing for calculus but who need calculus in their first semester to stay on track in the engineering paradigm. For those students who need more help in preparing for calculus, it is adding as a third track a pair of two credit courses, MATH 107 Functions and MATH 110 Trigonometry, that can be taken simultaneously.
Br. Joel Baumeyer continues to serve as Director of the Math Center which offers free assistance in mathematics, physics and computer science to CBU students. Tutors are typically CBU students majoring in mathematics, engineering or the sciences. These tutors take pride in offering their services to their fellow students. Since moving into the new Math Center room in Cooper-Wilson, student visits have increased from about 1,000 per semester to above 3,700 per semester.
Last spring, Dr. Leigh Becker retired, and this spring he was named Professor Emeritus! Dr. Becker continues to publish papers in his field of differential equations. Congratulations to Dr. Becker! (See the Featured Person article earlier in this newsletter.)
Dr. Raena King joined the CBU Mathematics faculty this fall. She had previously taught as an adjunct while working on her Ph.D. This fall she completed her degree! Congratulations to Dr. King!
The Math Department also provides service to the university and community through the Student Section of the Mathematical Association of America which is part of our featured article on Student Groups earlier in this newsletter.

Associated Press
BOSTON — Prosecutors and a lawyer for a Massachusetts chemist charged in a far-reaching scandal at a state drug-testing lab plan to meet with a judge to discuss a possible guilty plea.
Annie Dookhan is charged with obstruction of justice, perjury and other counts for allegedly faking test results, tampering with evidence and ignoring testing protocols.
An investigation led to the shutdown of the state lab where Dookhan worked. More than 330 state prison inmates have been released from custody and at least 1,100 cases have been dismissed or not prosecuted because of tainted evidence or other fallout from the lab's closure.
A plea conference is scheduled Friday in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston. Dookhan's lawyer tells The Associated Press that a possible resolution of the case will be discussed during the conference.

Barrington boy, 11, expected to recover after being hit by Metra train
Sun-Times Media March 17, 2013 12:12AM
An 11-year-old boy struck by a Metra train in Barrington on Friday will recover, officials said Saturday.
"Few people survive a train accident," said Jeff Arnett, a spokesman for Barrington 220 School District. "He is extremely fortunate, and the family is grateful for the outpouring of support."
Dominic Szymanski, a fifth-grader at The Hough School in Barrington, will need several operations, but his condition has "stabilized," Arnett said.
He is being treated at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.
Dominic was struck by an inbound Metra Union Pacific Northwest Line train just after 6 p.m. Friday as he crossed the tracks on Hough Street/Illinois Route 59 just north of Lake-Cook Road in downtown Barrington, Metra spokesman Tom Miller said.
Several people saw the accident and rushed to provide first aid until paramedics arrived.
In an interview Saturday, Anna Shilov said her husband grabbed towels from the hair salon where he works just across from the Barrington train station and tended to the boy after a passerby asked for help.

During his presentation, Maslennikov discussed the landscape of mobile malware. Malicious mobile software is no longer limited to smartphones and PDAs, explained Maslennikov: normal mobile phones are also under threat from viruses, Trojans and worms.Since 2008, cyber criminals have been making money from malicious software targeting mobile devices, with the number of mobile viruses increasing by 184 per cent since August 2006. Because there is no clear market leader in the mobile phone space, most cyber criminals rely on cross-platform malicious code to reach as many phones as they can. According to Kaspersky Lab's research, many cyber criminals are now using social-networking sites and instant messaging to promote mobile malware (e.g. urging people to phone numbers or send text messages in exchange for various services).Unsurprisingly, pornographic applications are one of the main baits used by mobile cyber criminals. SMS phishing also remains popular. For example, a message purporting to be from the phone owner's bank may urge them to call a number and provide personal information. To combat mobile malware threats, Maslennikov recommended that mobile phone users should learn as many facts about mobile malware as they can so they'll know what to look out for.

So what does Shaw's return mean for the Hawks?
While Shaw will never be confused with Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, or even Marian Hossa, he is just the player the Blackhawks have been missing. For all their shots on goal (averaging 40.4 per game), the Hawks haven't had a ton of net presence. When they have, Smith has had difficulty making saves.
Of all the players currently on the Blackhawks' roster, Shaw is the most willing to plant himself in front of the net and disrupt the goalie and his line of vision. I fully expect Joel Quenneville to use him on the powerplay for Game 6…another "must win" for the Hawks.

Good Question: Where Can I Find Imitation Mustard for Passover?
Here's a time-sensitive request, but we don't have a good answer. Any tips from you readers?
We have a recipe we want to use for Passover, but it calls for mustard. Mustard is not kosher for Passover. Is there a "fake" mustard, or a receipe for "fake" mustard? We have seen a reference to a Passover imitation Dijon, but have not to been able to track down any other information.
We read your answer for the mustard allergy question, but horseradish, would not be a good substitute. Have you ever heard of a synthentic mustard oil and if so do you know who the supplier might be?
We also found some references to imitation mustard, but couldn't find a supplier. There is a recipe, however, in this cookbook:
• Simply Scrumptious Vegetarian Recipes
Also, Susie Fishbein, the well-known kosher cook featured in the New York Times Dining section this week, also refers to imitation mustard in some of her recipes, so you might want to get your hands on a copy of one of her books.
Any other ideas?

a quick google search shows that kosher-for-passover imitation mustard does exist.
if you're doing a dairy dish, i always thought cheddar cheese tasted mustardy. or plain yogurt mixed with white wine might give you some of that tang.
otherwise i would maybe try a dry white wine and grated horseradish. maybe???
You can find imitation mustard at a local kosher market (if you have a local kosher market), but I've heard that it's awful. For knockwurst (which for some reason we always have on passover), we use ketchup, horseradish or now thay have horseradish sauce. From what I understand the imitation mustard just looks like mustard, it doesn't really taste like it.
honestly mustard is mustard seeds and vinegar. how can that not be kosher? on the other hand, how hard could it be to make? you could get out a mortar and pestle and grind the seeds and add a drop of vinegar.
OR is the mustard powder (Colman's brand - English mustard i believe) that you add H2O to, kosher?
however, the point of passover is to reflect on the sufferings of our ancestors, not obsess over food. there are certain foods that you can't have for a week. period. that's the whole point of the holiday! you appreciate regular stuff the rest of the year :)
Wait - am I to understand with all the Kosher Delis in NYC that there is no such thing as Kosher mustard?
Seems impossible!
I too am very curious as to why mustard isn't kosher.....someone please explain.
Mustard IS kosher, but it is not kosher for passover. The dietary laws of passover, just as they do not allow for bread, do not allow for seeds. Since mustard is a seed it is not kosher for passover. People tend to get pretty creative when it comes to passover foods, unfortunatly mustard is not one of the success stories.
noooo, you can't have mustard w/o seeds.... I like the above suggestions, though. I also think if you're supposed to add it to a marinade or sauce, you could sub in vinegar for the acidity and anything else sort of sharp like the suggested horseradish.....
There is kosher for passover mustard like product that uses vinegar, spicing and color to replicate a mustard taste.
check out kosher.com or your local Jewish food store
I've never had it, though

The Venus In-Situ Explorer (VISE) is a mission proposed in the 2000s by the planetary science Decadal Survey to NASA's New Frontiers program as a space probe designed to answer fundamental scientific questions by landing and performing experiments on Venus.[1] Although the mission is no longer listed as a New Frontiers program candidate as of 2014,[2] the Principal Investigators have kept refining and promoting the mission concept.[3]
While on the surface, the Venus In-Situ Explorer will acquire and characterize a core sample of the surface to study pristine rock samples not weathered by the very harsh surface conditions of the planet. Also, the VISE will measure the composition and mineralogy of the surface. The Venus In-Situ Explorer has been proposed for launch in 2013.
Several variant mission concepts for a Venus in-situ explorer have also been proposed, including both surface and atmospheric exploration:

Queen Nancy Really Upset About A Possible Congressional Paycut
And typically unhinged
(The Hill) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of lawmakers' jobs.
"I don't think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. "I think it's necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded."
The sequestor would cause a reduction of pay for lots and lots of federal workers, including those in Congress.
"It's a hard question to ask me because most of my colleagues are the breadwinners in their families," she said. "A pay cut to me doesn't mean as much."
Call me old fashioned, but serving in Congress was supposed to be a privileged and a duty, as well as a sacrifice, not a permanent job designed to enrich oneself. The average American household income was a bit over $60,000. Congressional electees receive $174,000 a year. Plus all the perks and ability to make lots of moola just by being a federally elected official. Meanwhile, out here in the real world, lots and lots of American citizens are taking pay cuts thanks to this Democrat run economic malaise. With the coming full implementation of ObamaCare, of which Pelosi was instrumental in passing, many Americans are seeing their work hours cut.
Scott Ott has some ideas about dealing with Congressional pay, including
Peg Congressional pay changes to changes in the median household income – down about 8.24% since 2007 – putting their pay at about $159,663. Of course, if they really wanted to identify with the people, we could set their pay AT the median household level, a cut of roughly $110,000. Members who serve inner-city districts could have their's set to local rates.
When Nancy P regained control of the House, the country went into a deep, deep recession from which it has yet to recover. Incomes are down, the deficit is high, debt is now over $16 trillion, etc and so on.

You are still only doing one of 7 effects and/or some damage.
Meaning there are only really 8 different types of attacks/powers.
RGB offers 16 million colors, but they are all still made from only 3.
So you are just combining a few rudimentary things to make all these other things.
What if you don't want to do one of those 7 effects, or damage, but something else?
And I am not even talking about how silly some of the powers are. Like Sleep requiring a burst of effect, rather than just being able to put a single person to sleep.
The effects are not all they are cracked up to be.

Then I read the Bigby's Icy Grasp write-up. And my skepticism went away.
The concept was sound and still allows those "odd-ball" magical effects that always made D&D magic so different from, say, Shadowrun magic. If you know one Shadowrun combat spell, you basically knew them all.

These are much larger differences at low levels than the BAB/THAC0 difference from prior editions, and except for the Wisdom bonus, carry over to other basic attacks with any weapon (melee or ranged). Even at high levels, the difference is pretty big, especially if the Fighter pumps his wisdom. And gets even larger if the Wizard and Fighter don't maintain strength parity. Etc.

Thinking of a clever trick that allows a spell to be way more effective than its level indicates shouldn't be possible, even if it seems to be fine by RAW. To exaggerate the point:
Being able to turn a cantrip into an auto-kill spell is not desirable.
Creative uses of spells must always be in line with the spells' level. And it's not limited to spells either. There's a reason the 4E DMG suggests a damage progression for freestyle maneuvers. Thinking out of the box is fun - provided it doesn't imbalance the game.
