text: The depth of this draft has had me thinking; could a team with 22 picks spread across the rounds build a decent to good team of starters from this draft alone? Obviously it's only a thought exercise but it encouraged me to create this little competition/exercise to keep us going through this pre - FA lull. So, if you want to take part, here are the rules. 1. The aim is to create a team of 22 starters on offense and defense from this draft. No special teams. 2. You will be allowed three picks per round ( 3x7=21). Whilst you can have as many UDFA ranked players as you like to get to 22, you must have at least one UDFA (3x7)+1. 3. We will be using CBS Sport's rankings for this exercise (LINK). As these rankings are changed regularly, please specify the date of the rankings when you submit your team (the date is at the top of the rankings). 4. You can choose whichever formation you like. You can go 3-4, 4-3, 4-2-5 etc on defense, go with a FB on offense, five wide or TE heavy. The choice is yours but please ensure it's both legal and realistic. 5. Please specify the CBS ranking/or round for each prospect. 6. No unreasonable projecting. We're looking for a team to win as early as possible. So no trying to tell us that this UDFA QB you've chosen that no-one has heard of will be the next Tom Brady. 7. Haven't decided whether it's worth trying to determine a winner or just doing it for fun. Any thoughts? I did wonder whether we should award the entry with most 'likes' as the winner. I'll be entering my team shortly. If you have any questions, please ask and feel free to comment (politely) on peoples choices. And have fun! Edit: One more rule. We're only focused on the rankins of the prospects, not their projected rounds. So your available 2nd round prospects are those ranked 33-64 and any prospect ranked later than 224 is considered a UDFA.

Microsoft's 2011: Windows 8 Prep, Windows Phone, Android Battles
Microsoft's 2011: Windows 8 Prep, Windows Phone, Android Battles
In retrospect, 2011 could be viewed as the year when Microsoft tried to pivot: away from its desktop-centric focus and toward mobility, from packaged software toward the cloud, from a company in danger of losing its relevance toward ... maybe some semblance of its old, market-dominating self.
Microsoft started the year off with a bang, announcing at January's Consumer Electronics Show that the next version of Windows would support system-on-a-chip (SoC) architecture, in particular ARM-based systems from partners such as Qualcomm, Nvidia and Texas Instruments. The implications were immense: Windows had long dominated the x86 platform used by traditional PCs, but SoC support opened up the possibility of the popular operating system on mobile devices such as tablets.
"Under the hood there's a ton of differences that need to be worked through," Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live Division, told the media and analysts assembled for a Jan. 5 press conference. "Windows has proven remarkably flexible at this under-the-hood sort of stuff."
Over the next year, Microsoft would dribble out more details about that next version of Windows, which it started calling "Windows 8" (not necessarily the final name). The company even started an official blog, "Building Windows 8," in which Sinofsky's engineers and other Windows workers rather loquaciously explained the various features in development. By that point, it became clear that Microsoft's intention with Windows 8 wasn't just to port the traditional Windows desktop environment onto the tablet form factor.
Instead, Microsoft decided to re-engineer Windows 8's entire user interface. Unlike previous versions of the operating system, which centered only on the desktop interface, Windows 8's start screen centers on a set of colorful, touchable tiles linked to applications-the better to port it onto tablets and other touch-centric form factors. The beta is due in February 2012, with the final version reportedly later in the year.
But Windows 8 will face some significant hurdles. For starters, Windows 7 isn't exactly an antiquated operating system; released three years ago, it has sold hundreds of millions of copies and managed to erode the support base for Windows XP, Microsoft's reliable but aged operating system. Microsoft will have to make the case to consumers and enterprises that Windows 8 will be worth the upgrade. Second, Microsoft will have to challenge Apple's iPad and other well-entrenched competitors for a portion of the tablet market, which could prove a difficult feat.
Windows Phone
Even as the company geared up Windows 8, Microsoft did its best to promote Windows Phone, the smartphone platform it hoped would compete toe-to-toe against Apple's iPhone and the growing family of Google Android devices.
Since its launch in late 2010, Windows Phone has attracted some strong reviews from the tech press, but Microsoft's overall share of the smartphone market has continued to decline over the past few quarters. That could be partly attributable to a dip in usage for Windows Mobile, Microsoft's previous generation of phone software. But it also speaks volumes about the level of competition in the smartphone arena, where both the iPhone and higher-end devices like Motorola's Droid franchise have made life difficult for any new platform looking to establish itself.
During a July 11 keynote speech at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, CEO Steve Ballmer described Windows Phone's market presence as "very small." Nonetheless, he went on to insist that other metrics boded well for the platform. "Nine out of 10 people who bought Windows Phone would absolutely recommend it to a friend," he said, reiterating a talking point voiced by many a Microsoft executive over the past few months. "People in the phone business believe in us."
In a bid to invigorate Windows Phone, Microsoft took a pair of massive steps in 2011. In February, it signed a partnership deal with Nokia, with the Finnish phone maker agreeing to make Windows Phone the primary platform for its smartphones. A few months later, it whipped the curtain back on its wide-ranging "Mango" update, designed to bake hundreds of new features into Windows Phone's interface.
According to some analysts, the combination of a more feature-rich platform and a bevy of new devices from Nokia and other manufacturers could help Microsoft gain some traction in the marketplace. In a June research note, IDC predicted that Windows Phone will take some 20 percent of the smartphone market by 2015, surpassing both Apple's iOS and Research In Motion's BlackBerry OS.
However, IDC's estimates hinge on Nokia transitioning smoothly to Windows Phone, something that other analysts perceive as easier said than done. "We would continue to avoid the stock as Symbian smartphone sales are falling off faster than expected and we are skeptical that new Windows Phone (WP) models will be able to replace lost profits," Stephen Patel, an analyst with Gleacher & Company, wrote in a May 31 research note. "Our checks suggest mixed carrier support for Nokia's transition to WP."
By December, Nokia had unveiled the Lumia 710 and 800, its first two devices running Windows Phone; the former is scheduled to hit store shelves in the United States at the beginning of January, its $49 price point meant to compete against the sizable contingent of midrange Google Android devices offered by the carriers.
Bing, Cloud and Android
Microsoft also intensified its cloud and online efforts. Thanks to its search-and-advertising agreement with Yahoo, in which Microsoft's Bing search engine powers Yahoo's back-end search, Microsoft owns roughly a third of the U.S. search-engine market. Rather than compete head-to-head with Google, Microsoft has decided to differentiate Bing by making it the search engine for those exploring very specific verticals, such as travel. In addition, Microsoft entered into an agreement with Facebook that adds a number of social-networking features to Bing.
"Decisions don't get made on rationality alone," Bing Director Stefan Weitz told eWEEK in a May interview. "People ask other people for information. Eighty percent of the people making a purchase online will delay that decision until they ask someone else."
In light of that, he continued, Microsoft decided to evolve Bing by "infusing the emotional into it." That meant adding Facebook-fueled social features, including the ability to see, in search results, which Websites one's friends "Liked."
By November, according to research firm comScore, Microsoft had managed to reach 15 percent market share at the expense of both Google and Yahoo, while Google dipped slightly to 65.4 percent.
The Cloud and Android
In terms of the cloud, Microsoft launched the final version of its Office 365 platform at a high-profile event in New York City in June. Office 365 links Microsoft Office, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online and Lync Online into a platform that costs $2 to $27 per user per month. On top of that, Microsoft began offering an Office 365 Marketplace with productivity applications and professional services.
From 2010 into 2011, Microsoft has pushed an "all-in" cloud strategy centered on subscription products such as Office 365. By embracing an industrywide trend toward the cloud, the company hopes to diversify its revenue stream beyond desktop software such as Windows. Moreover, the cloud model holds certain advantages for Microsoft, as subscriptions ultimately yield more revenue over the long term than a single copy of software (provided the customers in question keep paying for a sustained period of time).
But the cloud comes with its own drawbacks, the most visible of which is the occasional downtime. Over the summer, Office 365 experienced a handful of outages, similar to those experienced by Google and other cloud vendors. The cloud also has yet to generate the sorts of revenue that Microsoft enjoys from its more traditional "boxed" software, with no clear timetable for when those online efforts will start becoming more profitable.
Microsoft's competition ramped up against Google in areas beyond cloud products. Throughout 2011, Microsoft went to companies building Google Android devices with a simple proposition: Either pay us royalties, or face a patent-infringement suit (Microsoft insists that Android violates its intellectual property). That strategy paid off, as a growing number of Android manufacturers large and small (including HTC and Samsung) agreed to pay royalties rather than engage in a wide-ranging court battle.
As for the companies that decided to engage in a courtroom tussle rather than pay up, Microsoft scored a few victories. Near the end of December, the International Trade Commission (ITC) found that Motorola Mobility's Android devices infringe on aspects of one Microsoft patent.
Microsoft executives played up that victory. "ITC finds Motorola patent infringement in Microsoft case. Another indication that licensing is the best path for the industry," Brad Smith, executive vice president and general counsel of Microsoft, wrote in a Dec. 20 tweet, following it up with: "One key step behind us in the ITC. More to follow. But we'll also remain focused on licensing, as we have with Samsung, HTC and others."
Microsoft's competition against Google seems unlikely to abate in 2012, with more legal action in the making, although executives in Redmond likely hope that Windows Phone will gain market share to the point where it can compete more heartily against the growing family of Google Android devices. But Google is just one aspect of Microsoft's challenges for the next year: Apple, Salesforce.com and a variety of other rivals will all continue to fight for their own-and Microsoft's-pieces of the cloud, mobility and operating systems.

Well Packaged
Used these for a candy bar at my daughter's baby shower. Very flavorful and nice presentation.
Great addition to the Candy Buffet
Pros: Taste great.
I ordered this to use on a dessert buffet for a baby shower....it looked so pretty in the glass containers that I used and everyone loved it. Price was awesome and delivery fast and efficient. 5-star service!
Pros: Color
Quick Delivery
I bought several different types of candy to make a display for a baby shower. The candy was premium - fresh and chewy, not the least bit hard. The site was easy to use and made it easy to purchase candy by color. I would highly recommend buying from candystore.com.

Your blog very beautifully narrates the beauty of the place and makes it tempting to go there and spend few days :-) You can also use our blog http://www.couponrani.com/yatra-com to get some discount next time.ReplyDelete
India is a very beautiful country of south Asia which is spotted with natural and manmade attractions which entices tourists to visit this place from every hook and nook of the country.Thanks for sharing the post..ReplyDelete

Hey Guys, Thanks for writing and sharing this up. Have followed your travelogues on Team-BHP as well and have been looking to go to all 3 Sinnadorai bunglows based on what you have shared.ReplyDelete
One question for immediate plans, we (Myself, wifey and 3 yr old kid) are planning to go to either Sakleshpur or Mango Range the coming week end - Sep 7th to 9th. The idea is to drive through wonderful roads, relax, drink and eat (in that order :)). Can you suggest which one of the SinnaDorai settings would be advisable for this time and considering it is forecasted rains at both the places?
Hey guys, I wrote a long comment and seems blogger ate it up. Anyways wonderful post. I also follow your suggestions on Team-BHP.ReplyDelete
One question: Which one would you suggest between Sakleshpur and Mango Range (Both SinnaDorai) for going during coming weekend i.e. 7th to 9th Sep. Considering that we (myself, wifey and 3yr old kid) would like to drive thru beautiful roads, relax, drink and eat and come back.:)
Hi Gaurav,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments. Both are great places. If it is purely a relaxing holiday and want to chill out, my first choice would be Mango Range though Kadamane is equally great. Give me a call @ 98450 44486 if you need any more info. Happy to help.
Best regards,

Watch this Author's files
thanks, saved me making my own script!
You're a champion for creating this!
Thanks very much...
I do have a couple of questions I would like to ask:
When you say "There is no way for the moment to change this number of iterations in EzyFit", I am a bit confused by this. In fminsearch the default for 'MaxInter' and 'MaxFunEvals' are both '200*numberOfVariables'.
I have set these to 2000000*numberOfVariables but I still run into the exact same error when using:
ezfit(x,y, a1*exp(-b1*x)+a2*exp(-b2*x)+y0)
The error is:
Exiting: Maximum number of function evaluations has been exceeded
- increase MaxFunEvals option.
Current function value: 30502.906917
Also, since MaxInter and MaxfunEvals both must be integer values, I do not understand how the iteration above can have decimal values. Or maybe I am misinterpreting it?
The other thing I wanted to say is that if run fminsearch and call fitfun as per the code below, fminsearch is able to generate a perfect 3 exponent decay function in 175 iterations (i.e., much lower than 30502.906917). I should think ezfit should be able to achieve the exact same result if allowed to iterate within definable constraints (see TollX and TollFun below), because it also uses fminsearch.
Finally, probably a dumb question, how come 'showfit' will work when I supply a 3 (or 2) exponent function but ezfit fails with the above iteration error?
Looking forward to reading your answers......this is otherwise a brilliant toolbox.
Best regards,
% Define initial paramters
t = x;
y = y;
% Grab x and y values generated in ginput
TolFun = .000000001;
TolX = 0.1;
% TolFun = Termination tolerance on the function value
% TolX = Termination tolerance on x
% Plot x and y
hold on
h = plot(t,y,'b');
hold off
title('Input data')
start = [0;0;0];
% Define starting lambdas (initial guesses)
outputFcn = @(x,optimvalues,state) fitoutputfun(x,optimvalues,state,t,y,h);
% User defined output function for each iteration of fminsearch
options = optimset('OutputFcn',outputFcn,'TolX',TolX,'TolFun',TolFun, 'Display', 'iter');
% Options for fminsearch
estimated_lambda = fminsearch(@(x)fitfun_v2(x,t,y),start,options);
Hi thanks for supplying this script.
After reading the help file and trying to following the examples (only #2 seemed to work btw), my understanding how this script works is still a little vague. I have three questions:
1) What is the purpose of the variable 'tt' and how is it derived?
2) Why does the script only work when lsq_val is set to 'no'
3) What exactly are the parameters 's' returns - e.g., if I'm running a double exponent, does it return, in the following order:
A1 = first amplitude
t1 = first lifetime
A2 = second amplitude
t2 = second lifetime
yo = offset
Kind regards,
The associated publication in Neuron 63, 747–760 makes this look promising. However, getting this to run based on the instructions provided in the supplementary publication is very trying for those with less than a mastery of Matlab.

When summertime hits,staying cool this summer is of concern to everyone. But when you're pregnant and dealing with hormone surges, extra body weight and ever-changing physical phenomena, the heat can be extra troublesome. Here are some no-nonsense yet creative approaches to staying cool (and sane) during the summer heat.
Beating the Heat at Night
"Since I've been pregnant, I have developed insomnia. I realized that part of my sleeping problem was that I was too hot. So now I sleep with a small fan directly in my face, and I am starting to get almost six hours of sleep (not bad for an insomniac)!"
~ Parent Soup member JLBMc
Coolness to Go
"Here in South Florida it's quite a challenge to beat the heat. Here's what works for me: 1) I turn the car on and blast the air conditioner for a few minutes. I'll go back to the car whenever I need to cool off, fast. 2) I make healthy ice-pops out of fresh fruit juices. 3) I have considered freezing my undies, but have yet to get that desperate!"
~ Parent Soup member Alcar28
Enlist Your Freezer
"I live in Texas, so it is really hot here. I keep cool by eating lots of fruit; especially watermelon. I even froze it. It was yummy and healthy and cold. I also spent part of every evening in the pool. It was great exercise and kept me cool."
~ Parent Soup member killler1
Try Your Tub
" We don't have a pool or access to a pool. So, I just pretend that my bathtub is my own personal pool. I fill it up with cool water, fix myself a nice tall drink, and sit in there until I stop sweating. I also put a cool washcloth on my forehead. Then I stay in until I start to prune. I don't know what I'd do if we didn't have a tub!"
~ Parent Soup member Susanorrie

Coeur D'Alene Mines Moving Headquarters To Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) â¿¿ Gold and silver producer Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp. will move its headquarters from Idaho to downtown Chicago this year and hire at least 60 employees, state and city officials announced Wednesday.
In a joint news release, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Gov. Pat Quinn said they offered the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho-based company a package of income tax credits and other incentives to come to Chicago. They did not disclose how much the credits and incentives were worth.
Mitchell Krebs, Coeur's president and CEO, said in a statement that the move would give the company better access to its business partners and operations.
"Chicago is a global, pro-business city, an international transportation hub and provides access to a broad and deep talent pool," Krebs said. "We look forward to our active involvement in our new community and are proud to call Chicago our new home."Coeur d'Alene Mines was incorporated in 1928. It operates silver and gold mines in Alaska, Nevada, Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina and Australia and employs about 2,000 people worldwide. The company, which will change its name to Coeur Mining in May, plans to complete the move in the third quarter and hire at least 60 employees at its new headquarters by the end of 2014. The state Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity will administer the incentive package, which includes corporate income tax credits and job training funds. "With our diverse economy, our pool of highly-skilled workers and our world-class transportation infrastructure, Illinois has what it takes for businesses to grow," Quinn said in a statement. "We welcome Coeur and look forward to bringing more global corporations to Illinois."

Lennart Poetterings opinion on building udev without having to build systemd:Besides that it would
probably be the first package where you can disable building the main
component.My recommendation for distros who want udev without the rest of systemd
is to build systemd normally and just pick the files you are interested
in from "make install".
But when I had destroyed my dbus installation, I chrooted into the installation and readed the log in the usual way with journalctl.
I don't think the networkamanger project has anything to do with Lennart Poettering.I had a bit of a reaction to LP's stuff at first too but nothing's perfect. Pulse had its problems, but they got fixed. NetworkManager wasn't perfect (still missing Bridging support though I think thats coming in the next version, or at least the groundwork is), and systemd once upon a time would fail to boot every once and awhile. Bugs were found. Bugs were fixed. Projects improved. I can very confidently say now that on all of my arch machines, with varying hardware, I have zero second-thoughts about installing systemd + Pulseaudio + Networkmanager + Avahi. They just ARE the standard to me now because I know they DO work.
Was I pissed when UDEV got forced to systemd, yeah, I got over it.
Do I like systemd? I guess, I am warming up to it.. still not super fond of the daemon setup however.
edit: by not being fond of the daemons I mean this crap "systemctl enable servicename.service" <- do I really need to type .service all the time? fuck.
Last edited by nightmarex; 01-27-2013 at 04:02 PM.
As for the journal thing, why would I want two logs on the same machine? Either make sure that I can recover the logs, from a mostly corrupt HDD as long as I can read at least some of the file, or let me not run journal at all, and pass everything to syslog-ng. chrooting and running the installed copy of journal is not good enough and not being able to get anything out on a partially corrupted file is also not good enough.
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Systemd#Services) has a mediatomb .service, for the record. And if mediatomb doesn't ship a .service file then thats mediatomb's fault, just as it would be if they didnt ship a sysV init or an upstart job

By the end of the course, participants will:
* Have explored the intrinsic relationship between gender and development
* Be able to integrate gender into contextual analysis, and use gender analysis frameworks and tools effectively
* Be better equipped to integrate gender into strategic and operational planning for development and humanitarian programmes
* Have acquired methods of creating gender awareness within development practice.

We'd absolutely strap ourselves into these impossible park rides
Humans, by nature, are thrill seekers. Why else would we leap from a 1,149-foot-tall tower or wait in line to ride the world's steepest roller coaster? The Centrifuge Brain Project is a mockumentary by German filmmaker Til Nowak that challenges the notion that brain activity decreases while riding high-speed, vomit-inducing amusement park rides.
In The Centrifuge Brain Project, Les Barany plays fictitious engineer Dr. Nick Laslowicz and walks us through his "Institute for Centrifugal Research." Through his deadpan performance, Laslowicz's tries to convince us that "gravity is a mistake" and that brain activity actually increases when a person experiences his terrifyingly impossible park rides. Obviously, as a joke, all logic is thrown out of the window.
Which fake ride is your favorite? We can't decide which one we like more, the altitude-extending "Wedding Cake Centrifuge" or the "High Altitude Conveyance System" that lasts 14 hours.
Til Nowak didn't stop at producing just a mockumentary. Accompanying the video is also a fake company website; complete with fake schematics for Dr. Laslowicz's impossible rides, which you can see in the gallery below.

This year, 143 schools applied for the honor. "Minnesotans should be proud of the work going on in our schools.

Excellent Lense
By Chris from Chi-Town
from Chicago, IL
About Me Photo Enthusiast
Comments about Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 SP XR Di LD Aspherical IF f/Nikon-D AF:
This is an great all around use lense. The things I like most about it is that it is very sharp and focuses fast. It is plenty wide enough on a full frame camera. I don't see a need for VC on the D700 considering it shoots at high ISOs with no noise.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Tamron SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Asphe
By karthick
from salt lake city
About Me Casual Photographer
I did a large number of tests, running these lenses through all apertures at 28mm, 50mm and 75mm, shooting several types of test target as well as "real world images" and evaluating images for sharpness, contrast, flare, distortion and chromatic aberration. Note that all test were done using a Canon EOS 20D digital SLR which has an APS-C sized sensor (ca. 22.5 x 15mm). I did not test the full frame performance of the lens using film or a full frame DSLR. Center performance would be expected to be the same, but performance at the edges of a 36mm wide frame would be expected to be slightly worse (lower sharpness and greater chromatic aberration) than that seen at the edges of a 22.5mm frame
Portrait Goto Lense
By Almostgem
from Fort LAuderdale, FL
About Me Semi-Professional
I was originally using the Sigma 50-150 2.8 in the studio. It's a gorgeous lens if you have the room. The Tamron allows me to easily get full length shots without having to leave the studio (an exaggeration).The quality of the pictures is in line with any pro quality lens I've used, and the additional 22 mm at the wide end allows me to easily get full length shots. I switch off between the two when making street photographs, but usually lean more toward the Tamron. I also have the Tamron 90 2.8 macro, and 300 2.8, and the Tamron 180 3.5 macro (love this lense) all of which I heartily recommend.

Great Walk round lens
By NoDo
from Phoenix, AZ
This is a great lens. Ive been using it every day for the last 6 months almost daily. I have used it for everything from product photography to portraits and landscape. It is a sharp lens, focus is ok, kind of loud. Has a little lens creep too. Overall for the price you cant go wrong. I just recently upgraded to the Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 though and the difference in the two is not even comparable. If you dont have the coin to drop on a Nikon version then this is definantly the way to go. Better then the comparable Sigma version too.

Perfect every day lens - indoor and out!
By ~K
from Minneapolis, MN
About Me Casual user, Hobbyist/Enthusiast
I bought this lens for my D50 to replace the 18-55 kit lens and could not be happier. F2.8 through the entire zoom range allows me to shoot faster and get the low light shots that the kit lens had troubles with. The lens is built solid and is heavy enough to let you know it is good enough for the professionals, [...]. Step down to F4 and your pictures are sharper than a Nikon. Plus, if you still shoot film, it will work on all Nikon film cameras.The only things to note on the not so good side are that if you have a D40, it is manual focus only since it focuses through the little screwdriver connection. Also, the zoom ring is a bit of a long throw to get used to, but not a big issue at all. Finally, it is not a true wide angle lens on a DSLR, but it should be good enough in almost all circumstances. Compared to the 18-55 lens at 18mm, it is like taking a step 1 foot closer when shooting at 28mm on the Tamron.

Worth looking at
By David
from Honolulu Hawaii
[...]At f2.8 the world is my oyster. There's almost no indoor scene I cant hand hold, no street-light-lit alley I can't shoot in. However to get the most from this little gym, keep it at f4. Using my D200, this lens is razor sharp at f4....sharper than any shot I've taken with my Nikon 18-200 VRII (*cry). I was going to keep the 18-200 on the d200 full time, but when this 28-75 f2.8 proved its flexibility and quality on my D70, I just couldnt resist making this my night-time/walk-around lens. Get one, or at least try it out....you'll be amazed with how much more you can get for a few hundred dollars less....

Gone Girl Is Smartly Crafted, Well-Acted, and a Bit Too...
By Stephanie Zacharek
By Aaron Hills
In Renoir, a languorous look at the last days of the storied painter, we get a view of the artist at odds with a blue-haired lady's notion of her favorite impressionist. It's a pivotal moment of Renoir family history, with father and son both taking creative and sexual inspiration from a shared love object: Pierre-Auguste's last model-muse. Future filmmaker Jean Renoir (a vulnerable Vincent Rottiers) is the middle son, recovering from a WWI wound at the family farm at Cagnes-sur-Mer in 1915. Renoir père (affectingly played by Michel Bouquet) is 74, painfully hobbled by arthritis, and grieving the recent death of his wife. Christa Theret plays Andrée, the vibrant, pretty-in-petulance model who revives his creative, if not other, juices; a startling scene reveals he wishes otherwise. Yet the film's real star is the color orange-gold with a touch of russet, making an early appearance as the hair-and-clothing-matched Andrée bicycles in the sunlight to her modeling gig. Renoir's set piece shows the artist working on a canvas, with Mark Ping Bing Lee's camera gliding to models in soft focus, a kind of live-action impressionism and a new take on the familiar Bathers. Wisely, director Gilles Bourdos keeps the pace slow, what with all the tensions beneath the surface: Oedipal conflict, career choices, even class struggle. The ambitious Andrée, a/k/a the future Catherine Hessling of Renoir's silent films, tells Jean she won't marry a "plate painter," but a film director might do.

TVGuide: Were you a fan at all of Nip/Tuck going into this role?Jennifer Elise Cox: Oh, my god, I am a stalker-obsessed fan. I've been watching it since Season 1. It's my favorite show on television. So, of course, when I got the call about this, I was jumping up and down.
TVGuide: You know, I've been told by visually impaired people that I'm a dead ringer for Julian McMahon....Cox: Really?! Wow, the ladies love Julian McMahon....
TVGuide: So who called you to say, "We want you to be our grown-up Annie"?Cox: [Nip/Tuck creator] Ryan Murphy and Liz Dean, who casts the show, called me. I mean, to play a McNamara was right up there with getting to play Jan Brady. It's that hot. [Laughs]
TVGuide: What kind of issues is grown-up Annie having? What did her childhood do to her?Cox: I don't want to give away too much, but Annie has witnessed a lot of drama, right? I mean, she saw her mother flush her pet gerbil, Frisky One, down the toilet.... She's seen a lot, so she's going to have some issues.
TVGuide: What kind of a person has she turned out to be?Cox: Well, she may not be the sweet Annie that we once knew. [Laughs]
TVGuide: What, is she turning tricks, a serial killer...? Cox: I just think that she's had some "adjustment" problems. She's 30 now, and living with a lot of resentment toward her parents.
TVGuide: Actually, the episode breakdown says she is 29....Cox: Oh, it does? Let's age down, please! Yes! She's 29! Keep her in her twenties!
TVGuide: What else is life like in 2026? Do we have flying cars, orgasmatrons like Woody Allen promised us in Sleeper?Cox: Ooh, orgasmatrons — I wish! That sounds good. We have phone chips installed in our ears, I know for sure, which I'm a little bit scared about. You just tap on your ear lightly [to dial], and tap to turn it off. You know, the costumer designer, she did such an incredible job with the costumes. I had some Barbarella-looking outfits that were pretty hot. And I have a kind of Judy Jetson outfit as well. The fashions are beautiful in 2026, so that's something that we have to look forward to.
TVGuide: Do you think this might lead to some Nip/Tuck spin-off set in the future?Cox: It's so funny because Dylan Walsh, who plays my dad, kept saying, "I smell spin-off! 'Nip/Tuck 2026!'" [Laughs]
TVGuide: You also have a new series, 10 Items or Less, coming up, right?Cox: Yes! It premieres Nov. 27 at 11 pm on TBS, and it's really, really funny. It's about a mom-and-pop grocery store in Ohio called Greens & Grains, and my character, Amy, runs Super Value Mart, the big chain box store there to crush their business. I wear a pretty spectacular, pink, poly-blend suit. We shot the show in an actual grocery store in Reseda, and I was walking around with my name tag and all day long people were like, "Where's the bread? Where's the milk?" [Laughs] I was like, "I don't know, I'm just a stupid actress, but I would guess... Aisle 5?"
TVGuide: Have you ever clerked at a store, worked as a cashier?Cox: Before I got into acting, I scooped ice cream at Ben & Jerry's, and that was a lot of fun. And I worked at Ann Taylor at the Glendale Galleria. And I worked for this store called The White House, where you had to wear all white clothing. It's cool, and they sell beautiful things, but it was kind of weird wearing all white every day. I'm really slobby, so....
TVGuide: Were you a friendly sales associate, or did you sometimes let the snark out?Cox: I was super-friendly, because I was just happy to have a job. [Laughs]
TVGuide: Any word on a second season of Lovespring International?Cox: We haven't heard anything, so I have no idea. They seem to think that if it doesn't work out on Lifetime, they're going to move it somewhere else.
TVGuide: And did I hear that National Lampoon's Pledge This! might finally be getting released — straight to DVD? Cox: Did you? You know what's so funny? While we were shooting Nip/Tuck, [Pledge This! costar] Paris Hilton was down the block, somebody told me.
TVGuide: Thank you for specifying which Paris. I was thinking perhaps the Greek mythology figure.Cox: [Laughs] Hey, it could have been Paris, France.
