Indian bank stocks rallied the most since September on expectations Narendra Modi's coalition will win a parliamentary majority in elections, paving the way for policies that may boost economic growth and cut bad loans.
India's government should cut its stakes in state-controlled banks to below 50 percent, a central bank-appointed committee said in a set of recommendations to improve competitiveness and governance. Ownership in private- sector lenders should be allowed to rise, the panel also said.
Canara Bank , the Indian state-owned lender, may sell a 5 billion rupee ($108 million) perpetual bond as soon as today, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The following companies may have unusual price changes in India trading . Stock symbols are in parentheses and share prices are as of the last close .
Canara Bank , the second-best performer on India's Bankex Index for the last three months, plans to sell at least 5 billion rupees ($107 million) in perpetual bonds.
Yes Bank Ltd., the best-performing Indian bank stock last year, has lost almost half its market value in less than a month on investors' concern that a record surge in interest rates will erode profits and boost defaults.
Prashant Jain, chief investment officer at India's biggest money manager, said he sees value in some of the nation's biggest lenders amid prospects of a reduction in bad loans that have made them Asia's worst- performing banking stocks in the past year.
Canara Bank, an Indian state-owned lender, is conducting a forensic audit of accounts of Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd., which faces a liquidity crisis, a ministry official said.
Jagdish Pai , executive director at Canara Bank, India's third-biggest state-owned lender, comments on inflation and interest rates. He spoke in a phone interview from Bangalore.
Dollar borrowing costs for Indian companies fell to a six-month low, bucking an emerging-market rout, as investors rewarded policy makers for efforts to revive economic growth while curbing inflation.

Dance Review: 'Last Touch First'
Choreographed by Jirí Kylián and Michael Schumacher and performed by former members of Nederlands Dans Theater, "Last Touch First" is a triumph.
Dance Review: 'Last Touch First'
Choreographed by Jirí Kylián and Michael Schumacher and performed by former members of Nederlands Dans Theater, "Last Touch First" is a triumph.
While certainly not a disappointment, the Joyce Theater debut of Pacific Northwest Ballet, one of America's finest ballet troupes, was less enchanting than expected.
Ballet Nacional de Cuba: La Magia de la Danza
Appearing in New York for the first time in nearly a decade, Ballet Nacional de Cuba is offering a rousingly entertaining sampler of excerpts from six famous ballets.
This ravishing ballet, based on the Tolstoy novel, is ingeniously choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky and tells its tragic tale through efficient choreography, colorful music, and stunning sets and video projections.
Dance Review: 'Shantala Shivalingappa: Namasya'
Shantala Shivalingappa is a beguiling dancer, and though her evening of four solos includes a work by Pina Bausch, the modest program leaves one wanting.
The American Ballet Theatre presents the splendid 1978 story ballet 'Lady of the Camellias,' based on the Alexandre Dumas novel that inspired both Verdi's opera 'La Traviata' and the Greta Garbo film 'Camille.'
For the first time ever, the Prokofiev estate has allowed the composer's "Peter and the Wolf" to be performed in conjunction with a new work.
Except in Kyle Abraham's fine "The Corner," the dancers far outshine their material in this latest offering from Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's junior company.
This top-notch San Francisco–based contemporary dance troupe is presenting a stimulating program that shows the opposite choreographic strengths of its artistic directors, Brenda Way and K.T. Nelson.
Lynne Taylor-Corbett's "The Seven Deadly Sins," featuring Patti LuPone, is musically and visually stunning, but choreographically it's less eventful than expected.

I was told you'd be able to see the breast implants up top and your breasts loose below it. My surgery is next Saturday, what can I expect? Going from A to C (350CC).
How Do Breasts Look Immediately After Augmentation?
Doctor Answers (22)
Appearance of implants right after surgery
Your breasts will be somewhat swollen and look "tight" soon after surgery. They also may look on the high side for a few months until your body has had a chance to accomodate this change in size. Be patient because your new breasts will improve in appearance as you recover.
Breasts appearance immediately following augmentation
I tell all my patients not to panic when they view their breasts for the first time following a breast augmentation. I warn them that the breasts will appear too large, implants will appear high, they will appear round and feel very firm. Generally it takes 4-6 weeks before a woman will have a good idea what the breasts will look like and 4-6 months before seeing the final results. Be patient; you will love your new look.
Looks can be deceiving after breast implants
What you can expect immediately after your breast augmentation is that your breast will have some swelling especially in the upper breast. If you are wrapped with an ACE bandage after surgery then the breasts may have a flattened appearance initially. All of these things will go away and the breast will settle into there shape in a couple of weeks. Discuss these and other possible changes with your plastic surgeon before the surgery.
Hope this is helpful.

Appearance after surgery
The Breast Recovery and Changes Following Breast Augmentation
It's not unusual for breast augmentation patients to see dramatic changes in their breasts in the first week following surgery. Immediately following surgery, patients experience significant swelling and muscle spasm which causes significant distortion of the breast.
When sub muscular breast augmentation is performed, muscle spasm can cause implants to shift in a superior direction. As relaxation of the muscle occurs, implants gradually drop into a more normal position. This can be facilitated by using upper chest compression bands and ace wraps.
In other cases, severe swelling of the breast tissue and surrounding soft tissue can result in loss of definition of the breast implants. This can give the appearance of large poorly defined breasts. Fortunately, this swelling resolves rapidly with time. Compression following surgery can help minimize swelling as well.
It's important to be patient and realize that significant changes will occur following surgery. If you have questions, make sure you discuss them with your plastic surgeon. In many cases, a little reassurance can make the post-operative experience less stressful for patients.

Thomas Quasthoff Leaves The Stage
Devastating news came yesterday: One of the world's great geniuses of song, bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff, announced that he was retiring from concert life at age 52 due to persistent health concerns. He had announced last September that he was cancelling his singing engagements through the end of 2011; now that decision has been made permanent. With an incredibly empathic feel for text and a tone my colleague Tom Huizenga rightly called "burgundy-colored," Quasthoff's presence onstage will be very sorely missed.
In the official announcement of his retirement released by his management, Quasthoff said, "After almost 40 years, I have decided to retire from concert life. My health no longer allows me to live up to the high standard that I have always set for my art and myself. I owe a lot to this wonderful profession and leave without a trace of bitterness."
I first met Quasthoff in the mid-1990s, during the period he was signed to RCA Victor Red Seal. I worked at one of his label's sister divisions, and later had occasion to interview him a couple of times. He was always a gracious, warm and sweet artist with a ready laugh.
His presence and demeanor were a consistent and utter refutation of all the factors that could have made him bitter and resigned to a lesser life: his profound physical disabilities, difficult childhood (with the first three years of his life spent in a hospital) and later struggles that included being denied admission to a conservatory in his native Germany because he was unable to play the piano, which was considered an unbreakable degree requirement.
When his mother was pregnant with him, she took thalidomide, a prescription drug that caused serious birth defects. As Quasthoff wrote of his body in his 2008 memoir, The Voice: "Here is a 4-foot, 3-inch concert singer without knee joints, arms or upper thighs, with only four fingers on the right hand and three on the left. He has a receding hairline, a blond pig head and a few too many pounds around his hips."
Quasthoff plans to continue teaching at Berlin's Hanns Eisler Academy of Music and at master classes around the world, and he will continue as artistic director of the "Das Lied" international song competition he founded in 2009. He also will continue to host his "Thomas Quasthoff's Night Talks" series at the Konzerthaus Berlin, in which he leads conversations with celebrities from politics and the arts.

Utility infielder Abraham Nunez, who started 51 games at third this season, and opening-day catcher Rod Barajas will have their option years bought out for $300,000 and $500,000 respectively.
Barajas, 32, hit .230 with four home runs and 10 RBI in 48 games. Nunez, 31, hit .234 with 16 RBI in 136 games and started parts of two seasons at the hot corner. In addition, right-hander Kane Davis, who was arbitration-eligible, was designated for assignment. Davis, 32, spent the season with triple-A Ottawa and was a September call-up.
Beerleaguer: Our comments section will never be the same as two champions of chat traffic, Abe and Rod, bite the dust. Besides the obvious "Thank God for this," the most relevant observation is that the Phillies must add a utility infielder to the shopping list. It's always a joy to watch what the Phils come up with: Tomas Perez; Alex Gonzalez; Ramon Martinez; and, of course, No-hit" Nunez, good for about 30 comments a night. Nothing drove traffic like a well-timed Nunez GIDP. Good times.
There doesn't appear to be much cooking internally, so you can bet the next No-hit will come from the outside. Utility players are hard to track. The way it usually goes is on a random day in December, someone posts a comment like "Phillies acquire Oscar Robles, per Rotoworld" or "Phillies trade for Pittsburgh infielder Castillo, per FoxSports," or the one I'm waiting for, "Phillies reacquire infielder Matt Kata, per Phillies.com."
"Our scouts have been tracking him for a long time," said Phillies assistant GM Ruben Amaro Jr.
A second observation would be that Nunez's declined option suggests the Phillies will pursue a versatile third baseman who can both field and hit, assuming they have no desire to head into '08 with Wes Helms and Greg Dobbs as their only options. Mike Lowell is the name mentioned most, but there are others, like Pedro Feliz, Miguel Tejada and Hank Blalock.
The last observation of the night relates to reliever Julio Mateo and the fact that no announcement was made at this time pertaining to his contract status. Mateo, who was acquired from the Mariners at the trade deadline but was never used, has a $1.5 million '08 club option with a $100,000 buyout. The right-hander was charged with assaulting his wife in May while a member of the Mariners.
As for Barajas, we're losing another 30 comments with his departure. The RodFather didn't need to be in the game, or on the active roster, to stir up the conversation.

For women apparel, particularly sweaters made from cashmere are akin to black dresses. Every woman should own at least one, and they are perfect for any occasion with the right accessories. Cashmere wasn't always a fashion staple, but once it came on the fashion scene, sweaters were no longer considered solely for keeping warm. Cashmere apparel had been introduced by designers well before the 1950's; however, anyone who reviews pictures and other media from that decade will quickly recognize the iconic fashion of the day: a swinging poodle skirt with the two piece layered sweater set, often fashioned from cashmere.
Cashmere goats are the primary source for cashmere, but several other types are also contributors to the fabric. Typically, it takes about 3 - 4 goats to produce enough underlying down known as cashmere for one article of clothing. Fibers are gathered each year during the natural moulting season from around the goats' necks. The soft, downy underlying fibers are separated from the coarser hairs using special care and combing. Once separated, these fine fibers are used to make yarn that eventually becomes cashmere fabric; hence, luxurious articles of clothing.
If you are looking to shop cashmere sweaters for women, you wont' be disappointed by the selections you will find, not only in fine stores, but also online at such sites as shop.thecashmereshop.com.

Stuck in a hotel with no car... Four Points Sheraton LAX
So, what is one to do for food when there is no transportation available? What's walking distance, and what's worth ordering delivery for? I'll be stuck there for almost an entire week so, the more suggestions, the merrier.
For Steak Shula's 347 gets very high reviews here. I went about 18 months ago and was very happy.

Also, if you need to escape the hotel living then maybe take a short cab ride to just the other side of LAX to the old town section of El Segundo. A very nice area to walk around on Main Street and get something to eat. Below are two places I get very good sandwiches at good prices. Last weekend I was sitting at Rinaldi's when a cab pulled up out front and the rider ran inside and grabed a bag with two subs while on the way to LAX. Good stuff. Maybe other Hounds can give a rec for other places there on Main St. I noticed several other places that are full of people at breakfast, lunch, dinner. Round-trip cab would need to be set up first because it may be hard to get a cab on Main st. back to the hotel otherwise.

Wow, you're really in a food wasteland. The In-n-Out burger on Sepulveda @ Lincoln is close enough to walk (although it won't be the most scenic route in the world.) Also, there's a coffee shop cleverly called "The Coffee Company" on Manchester about two blocks east of Sepulveda that's gotten ok reviews on the board. I hope others have more suggestions, good luck.
re: writergirl
Ya, In'n out is great and a must try. Is it possiable to walk accross Sepulveda? I think it must be because it would be bad public relations for In'n Out to hang that location in front of those airport hotels just to tease the good people there.

Pann's is a classic googie coffee shop with excellent fare at a good price. It's a close call, but their pricing could almost justify the cost of a cab ride if you're in the mood for this kind of thing. In any case, there have been lots of posts here about the place so you can do a search to see if it's worth the trip.
re: Bob Brooks
Ya, I looked at my map and Pann's is a close cab ride and a good call. Those fried chicken wings are worth driving across town for. Round-trip cab would need to be set up first because it may be hard to get a cab at Pann's otherewise. Also, "googie coffee shop." This is a googie dream classic coffee shop -- back to the future (1956). It is worth the cab ride just to see the inside of this place (Southern California Food History 101).
Pann's (Fried Chicken wings and waffles, pea soup,

A week? Ouch. For classic L.A.-style Mexican dinners and margaritas, I'd recommend "Hacienda del Rey" up Lincoln near Manchester Blvd.:
8347 Lincoln Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90045
(310) 670-8588
I'd check w/ the concierge whether you could get there by bus - I'm sure it's possible, but it's probably no more than a 10-min. cab ride away.
Do you have a room fridge? Why not rent the car for 3 nites, order big and eat leftovers the other 3 nites?
Check w/the concierge. The airport hotels used to have a bus that would p/u guests and take them to Santa Monica. Maybe you can hop on one...
Don't rule out the Palm Grill at the hotel. I've had a couple pretty good business meeting luncheons and dinners there and you wouldn't imagine its a hotel restaurant. Service and food were top notch.
If you can get as far as the places suggested so far, especially InOut, then if you walk a few more blocks up Sepulveda there are many more restaurants. They aren't necessarily good restaurants, but after you do the burger (which, of course, you must do) and the walk doesn't kill you, then go on the same walk the next night and keep walking to find chain units.
If you do this walk, you will also be able to make it to Truxton's.
My suggestion, as someone who has been in your shoes in other cities: Befriend (and nicely tip) the night-shift hotel van driver and get some cheap rides and pickups to this area.
Have a nice stay.
Go back to LAX and pick up the shuttle to Union Station. It's a freeway-flyer and very fast, $3 each way. Dine at Traxx in their wonderful patio. Definitely chowhoundable food. You'll also be in the neighborhood of Patina, for fine dining, or historic Philippe's and many more. From that point you can also get Metrolink to Thai-town in Hollywood, or Pasadena… or walk over to First Street and explore Little Tokyo. Depending on your time of day, there is a downtown mini-shuttle that has tons of good stops.
another choice: Go to your hotel concierge and get directions to pick-up The Big Blue bus. Its behind your hotel. This line will take you along Lincoln Blvd. past Hacienda del Rey for margaritas, Baby Blues for BBQ and beyond into Santa Monica. A definite choice would be to stop at Bay Cities Italian Deli for, arguably, the best Italian subs in the city. But call ahead to place your order. They are packed.
So now you have downtown L.A. and Santa Monica at your fingertips. Go forth, eat and report back!
re: sassille
What a great idea to suggest public transportation that is actually convenient. Also Olvera Street is right across the street from Union Station, and Chinatown is a short walk too.
While in Santa Monica - try The Lobster for the best sunset view and Mojito. On the Prommenade, I like Falafel King. Order extra chips and tahini, so worth the calories. Giraffe is a favorite too. The roasted beet and goat cheese is wonderful. Rafael Lunetta is my food god.
re: diningdivala
Maybe she doesn't drive? Just a thought...
re: diningdivala
If she does drive, Hertz is right across the street from the hotel.
There are several restaurants at the Howard Hughes Promenade. You could probably get a free ride there on the Radisson Culver City hotel shuttle and then walk over from there.
Also, if you are up for a walk or can get a shuttle to drop you off, the Proud Bird is 1.4 miles away. Would let you really continue the airport living theme as you eat and watch planes land.
Here's a posting that just came up that will help you in the "legs" department of your predicament. Westwood can easily take up half a day if you walk, shop, eat, and take in a movie...
I concur with the Shula's recommendation, though I can't remember exactly how far the Four Points is from the Gateway. Here is my report:
This thread might also be useful:
Overall, though, if you are going to be there a week, I'd heed the public transit suggestions...
Try this place, Cantalini's in Salerno Beach, which is the beach side of Westchester - basically due west off the north end of the airport.
Authentic Italian and very good - including such things as appetizer orders of sauteed spinach in garlic and olive oil.
here is the menu:
In a previous life, my organization would have folks fly in for meetings at the Sheraton and then we were on our own for dinner. I live in the South Bay and it is a cab ride to this place, which is also located in a nice, out-of-the-way spot.
very chowhoundish.
re: mc michael
Ended up having a friend come visit me one day (With a car) and we headed over to El Segundo.
For dinner, we ate at the Whole Foods (which by the way, is unlike ANY "grocery store" I've ever seen). They even had a wine bar with amazing charcuterie plates... loved it! I bought a lot of stuff while I was there because there is a refrigerator in the room (but no microwave).
Also ended up having some breakfast at The Palm Grill (?) in the hotel. I'd say, not bad for what they were charging but, I wouldn't come to the hotel just for that either.
For dinner, I had also ended up at the T.H. Brewster's in the hotel. They do have quite an amazing selection of beer for a hotel bar! I was extremely impressed!! I had some kind of Chimay and burger. The fries are really good... they're kind of like the seasoned curley fries you'd usually find. The "regular" curly fries have too much batter and not enough potato but, these fries at T.H. Brewster's 1) weren't curly 2) were a bit ticker (but not too thick and too potato-ey like steak fries) 4) didn't taste entirely like fried seasoned batter 3) were seasonsed quite nicely. Too bad there was no easy way for me to get out to Father's Office in Santa Monica!
Also went to Truxton's and Ayara Thai (both in the same plaza). Truxton's was pleasant as well as Ayara but, still, nothing to write home about. I certainly would not make a long drive to come to either of those places... which I guess means that they're not that chow-hound-ley...
I must say that I was very impressed by Fratelli's Steak House's burger. The person who came with me had a steak (which looked disgusting) but my burger was fantastic. Not much of an alcohol selection though. If only they had these burgers at T.H. Brewsters... now THAT would be perfect!
Also was lucky enough to get a ride out to Houston's. I love that place!! Found out that they don't charge corkage so, went came back another night with a bottle of wine purchased from Whole Foods. LOVE both places!!!
Thank you all for your suggestions... many of them helped in getting me to decent places.
I am not sure if anyone mentioned Whole Foods El Segundo but, that was my favorite find of all. It almost seemed like they had 7 different "restaurants" in the market. Each with their own table/sitting area. Great because you can pretty much have whatever you crave... whether it be Asian, Brazilian, Mexican, Italian, American... they even have an oyster bar. WOW. My favorite though was the wine bar where you can taste wines by the glass.
Will be back again in the same predicament in a couple of weeks but, this time, I'm only there for half a week. I'll report back again soon!

As many of you already know, Edge recently made a cameo appearance via video on Monday Night Raw to promote the Smackdown anniversary.

October 11, 2014
Today is a sad one for professional wrestling fans. It marks the third year anniversary of the death of Randy Savage, one of the biggest legends in WWE history. The former Intercontinental Champion passed away after suffering a heart attack and crashing into a tree while driving. Much like before his death, fans have been begging WWE to induct him into the hall of fame.
May 20, 2014
Since James Storm and Gunner are heading over to England this weekend to work a big anniversary show over there, Kurt Angle has been added to the TNA live events this upcoming weekend in Wisconsin. The move is designed to help with ticket sales, as Storm is one of the more popular performers on the tour. No word yet on who Angle will be wrestling on these shows.
May 1, 2014

Her restaurant, the Squared Circle in Chicago, will be celebrating their one year anniversary this weekend, and they're throwing a big party.
March 13, 2014
This week marks the 15 year anniversary of Big Show signing with WWE. Vince McMahon was able to snatch him away from WCW by offering him a ten year contract worth millions of dollars.

Even though there are still many who believe that the company will be folding at the end of the year, TNA has decided to sign Manik to a contract extension. Official terms of the deal have not been released yet, but reports are saying that is a multiple year pact. Management is also said to be toying around with the idea of a character change for the performer, so he is not restricted in the stories.
September 3, 2014
"My contract was started midway thru the year last year but altogether with salary+appearances I was on pace for roughly $75,000-$84,000 for a year period. That's if my schedule is as busy as it was last summer/fall. Also that's only counting TNA. I'd make a lot more if I kept up with other bookings outside but I just don't. I'm also guaranteed a huge chunk of that regardless of if I wrestle or not. So it's pretty ok considering I do what I love. I'm on the low end on the roster too. Most guys do way better than me." - Manik reveals salary in TNA
April 19, 2014
A fan created this video of a WWE 2K14 simulated match between Manik and Tigre Uno, based on their performance at TNA Lockdown 2014.

You could beat this blistering summer heat by strapping a pair of ice packs on either side of your head, but a far more socially acceptable method would be to tuck into the Ice Cream Festival. And you wouldn't look like you borrowed a hat from Lady Gaga.
The Ice Cream Festival is now underway at Central Ram Indra in Bangkok and is floating among the chain's other branches through most of May.
You can have all the vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream you want, but get festive instead and dare to try something new. Among the unusual concoctions on offer is papaya ice cream with sweet, salty and tangy salad toppings. There's also a sorbet made with not-quite-ripe mango and nam pla waan dipping sauce.
And "dare" is the operative word when it comes to tonkatsu ice cream. Yes, it involves a deep-fried pork cutlet.
More than 30 different purveyors of sweets are participating in the festival. We conducted thorough investigations of three of them but were soon too full to carry on.
It's siblings Panjarat and Navarat Wongnapapan who came up with the "som tam ice cream" with the salad ingredients. At Onemore Ice Cream, they just couldn't resist piling dried shrimp, hot chillies, shredded carrot and chopped guava on top of papaya sorbet. It's only 59 baht (US$1.91) and comes in a little terracotta bowl you can take away.
Meanwhile a miniature terracotta boat transports papaya ice cream topped with guava, pomelo, pineapple, kiwi, dragon fruit, carrot, roasted peanuts and sweet-and-salty sauce.
"We don't just create unusual flavours and unique presentations - good taste is always the first priority," says Panjarat. The shop's name is Onemore, she points out. "One is never enough."
The siblings - who've studied ice cream "cow-to-cone" at various institutes - came up with a new invention for the festival: mieng kham ice cream. You get all the usual mieng kham ingredients - lime, ginger, shallot, peanuts, dried shrimp and coconut wrapped in a green cha plu leaf with roasted-coconut sauce - but with ice cream! And it's great!
Over at i-maru, run by Foodie Plus, Marut Chalotorn has addressed the fundamental paradox of ice cream - that it's meant to cool you down in the heat but can't withstand the heat itself.
The ice cream in Marut's 15-inch Mochi Cream is made from Thai jasmine rice flour, soybeans and milk. You can pile it up as high as its name suggests and it will stay up there, even when hot chocolate is poured on top.
This is the kind of brainstorm that gets attention at the Thai Rice Foundation and the National Innovation Agency, which gave Marut the runner-up Rice Innovation Award last year. (The winning idea unfortunately had nothing to do with ice cream.)
The Mochi Cream has a texture similar to that of chilled pudding, with the chewiness of mochi, the Japanese rice-cake dough. It costs 25 to 30 baht ($.97) for a 70-gram cup and you can decorate it with brown sugar, soy powder, berries, corn butter, kiwi fruit or the aforementioned hot chocolate.
Marut explains that his dessert is fully half jasmine rice flour. "The ice cream can hold its form overnight, but the cold gradually dissipates.
"There are more options these days when it comes to rice grains, and this goodie will appeal to people who don't insist on straightforward plain rice."
Marut is the man behind the successful two-year-old brand i-maru, which offers egg- and breast-shaped ice cream. The wrapper - made from the same rubber they use to make baby pacifiers - serves as both mould and container.
Miluku is the "breast" ice cream, made with rich Hokkaido milk in 10 flavours, including Lemon Cheese, Japanese Melon, Banana Milk and Vanilla Butterscotch. You can suck one up for 39 or 49 baht ($1.5) . You just cut off the nipple (careful, it might spurt) and drink the contents.
Marut's 39 baht ($1.2) "eggs" hold tamago ice cream made with durian and mango. You "peel the egg" by gently rolling it to warm the surface and then tap it with a pointed stick. The rubber wrap pops off. Again, be prepared for a possible explosion if the ice cream has softened.
Feeling wholesomely nurtured, we waddled finally to Teppan Ice. The name on the kiosk is also the name of its only dish, a soymilk ice cream formed in a severely chilled skillet.
The milk is poured into a pan that's been cooled to minus-10 degrees and freezes in about two minutes. The idea is to reduce the cholesterol content, and the healthy ice cream gets even healthier with the toppings.
You can have Soymilk flavour, Ginger Soymik, Dango (like the Japanese dumpling), Wasabi and Green Tea, each 129 baht ($4). The toppings range from whipped cream and soybean powder to mochi, dango and a crispy rice cake.
The Vanilla Group, known for its chic Vanilla Cafe, runs Teppan Ice, but so far it has no permanent outlets of its own. Keep an eye out for a Teppan Ice booth at events showcasing frozen desserts and Japanese culture. Then, if you know at least 150 people willing to try some, you can ask about catering a party.
The Ice Cream Festival continues until May 7 at Central Ram Indra, then moves to Central Chaeng Wattana from May 11 to 17 and Central Pinklao from May 18 to 24. Visit www.Onemore-IceCream.com.

Product Reviews
This belt is a fine product...but...
Posted by William Jeffries on 30th Oct 2014
bought this to use with the IWB holster w/straps. Great belt, great holster...but not together. The holster straps are very snug on this heavy, thick belt. Without a lot of fussing and extra care, every time you try to reholster and push the weapon into the holster, the downward push causes the thick top edge of the belt to unsnap the holster. I'll need to practice until I come up with a solution.
Posted by TXGnr1911 on 14th Oct 2014
This belt was purchased to help manage my daily carry weapon, magazine pouch and illumination tool. I have used several different belts for this purpose but this belt beats them all, hands down. I carry a Kimber Crimson Pro Carry II all day every day along with a dual magazine pouch w/magazines and a illumination tool pouch w/light. Before getting this belt I would feel "fatihued" at the end of the day. However, with this belt, that fatigue is gone. Its extra thickness manages everything I carry and has eliminated the "shifting" I suffered through with the magazine pouch. It has also eliminated the outward tilt of the magazines, which increases the possibility of exposure as a CHL carrier.
I honestly cannot say enough good about this belt. Point in fact, I like it so much I am ordering on in black today. BTW the Brown is very attractive, subtle color.
Posted by Hzgray on 14th Oct 2014

Posted by Larry the Dog on 14th Oct 2014
Just bought two belts and wore one today. The hardware and leather are excellent quality. Absolutely no sag with these belts; really distributes the weight of pistol and holster. I'm very pleased.
Color doesn't match holsters
Posted by Sgt Lumpy on 14th Oct 2014
Belt seems plenty thick and sturdy. Should hold holsters and gizmos just fine. BUT, the BROWN color is very dark brown, almost black. Doesn't match the color of the tan holsters and speedloader holders on the site. Much darker than the photos online.
Still, seems like a good strong belt. If you're getting BLACK, I'd guess it's a much better match.

Extender 1.4 vs 2 III
I actually know there is an answer her somewhere , but I looked for awhile and did not see it apparently.
I have a 5DMKIII with a 70-200 MKII lens and I need more reach and I can not afford a 400mm 2.8 as I do not rob banks nor make that much money.
So I thought about the new teleconverters,but how much am I going to loose in quality.
I spoke to a Canon Techie and he said the 2x III was really good.Then I spoke to another more experienced photographer and he said the 1.4 and crop was better.
So I am confused as they both cost the same ,but I want to be able to sell these photo's of Dressage.
Any help out there please....

Re: Extender 1.4 vs 2 III
I don't use a TC, but I did learn a bit about them when I was thinking of getting one. In the end I sold my 70-200 2.8 II and got a 70-300L instead - as it was the perfect range I needed for shooting Dressage, myself! (Yay for equestrian shooters ) after moving from crop to the 5D3 as well.
From what I've heard, the new 2XIII is a lot better than the 2XII, but its still going to give you a greater loss in IQ and AF speed than a 1.4X would do. The 1.4XIII is good, but I've heard not that much of an upgrade from the 1.4XII
I guess it comes down to what range you want. If you really need 400mm (which is a bit overkill IMO for this sport, unless you aren't the official photographer at these dressage shows and you have to stand far from the ring for whatever reason.) Then the 2XIII is for you. When Im at the shows and not the official photog, I still find that Im able to stand close enough that 300mm covers me plenty.
...and welcome to POTN!

Re: Extender 1.4 vs 2 III
If you want to get to 400 mm, how mant choices do you have? I used my 70-200 2.8L IS I with both MKII converters and was happy with the results. I now have better ways to get to 400 mm. Converters are a great value.

Re: Extender 1.4 vs 2 III
This guy's using the 2xIII and getting good results...
I have the 70-200 f2.8 IS II and used it with the Kenko 2x. But the IQ took to much of a hit, so I ebayed the Kenko. But I'd expect the Canon 2xIII to be much better.
Perhaps rent before buying?

Re: Extender 1.4 vs 2 III
If at all possible, get the 300/4 IS...
Then, since you are using a full frame camera you might also want to get the 1.4X (either the Mark II or Mark III, doesn't matter) to use with it.
I will use either my 70-200/2.8 IS Mk I or the 300/4 IS with 1.4X (II)... but I don't use either with 2X. I only use that on 300/2.8 IS and 500/4 IS. Too much IQ loss on the 70-200. Though I understand the 70-200/2.8 IS II with the 2X III is better... some people will use it... others won't
Check for some examples and maybe some discussion of the combo on the Lens Photo Sample Archive subforum.

Re: Extender 1.4 vs 2 III
I had the x2 MkII on extended loan for a couple of race meetings and was not impressed. It was barely acceptable on the 200 2.8 with huge edge softness; it was frankly rubbish in partnership with the 70-200 2.8 IS. My x1.4 MkII was quite acceptable on both lenses.
I did an unusual thing last month when I bought the x2 MkIII purely on the basis of reviews here and elsewhere. I am not disappointed; it easily matches the IQ of the x1.4 on both lenses. All extenders are going to give an IQ hit to some extent - this version is the least bad I've tried.

Re: Extender 1.4 vs 2 III
There was a question about exactly this not so long here.
You can check it here.
The bottom line is that the 70-200 with a 2x will be F/5.6, and it will be much worst if you compare it to the 400mm F/5.6 which is pretty cheap (at least compared to the 400 F/2.8 you compared earlier).
There is also the 300 F/4, and with a 1.4x you get mpore than 400mm, and still better than the 70-200 with a 2x.
The main problem of the 2x, at least with moving targests, is the AF speed. Its very slow. And yes, there is an IQ loss (makes everything soft unless you go down to F/8). Using the 1.4x is much better: faster AF and better IQ.
Myself, currently I'm using a friend's 300mm F/4 IS with his 1.4x II extender (I'm trying to convince him to sell them to me), and it is so much faster than my 70-200 with the 2x III. I get a 420mm effective reach at F/5.6 on the 5D3, and my 70-200 stays on the 1D4 (so I get 91-260 + 430 reach or 70-200+390/546 if I switch).

Re: Extender 1.4 vs 2 III
There are several examples on this forum of people getting good results with the 1.4x III, unfortunately I was not one of them. I recently purchased the 1.4 for use with my 70-200 and was very disappointed with the outcome. The shot were very, very soft and I could achieve sharper results by cropping shots taken without the extender. It may have been a problem with the one I bought but I decided I will go a different route to get more reach. The 2x will have even more of an IQ hit. Maybe I'm too picky but extenders don't deliver what I need.
It was not my favorite lens because of the variable aperture and push-pull zoom but it looks like I will be getting another 100-400. The 70-300L is also tempting but doesn't come with a tripod collar and I prefer using a monopod for sports. The 300 f/4 prime is a great lens but for my needs I like the versatility of a zoom.
