Jaguar is the most successful British marque at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Here's just a hint of the excitement created by the company's seven victories at the legendary track.
Drivers: Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead
Car: C-type
Laps: 267
Distance: 2244 miles (3611km)
Average speed: 93mph (149 kph)
Winning Le Mans – the most internationally recognised of all motor races – was hugely important to Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons as he bid to raise the profile of his new cars. After a promising debut with the XK120 in 1950 (running as high as third before clutch failure), Jaguar's new racing department created a lighter-bodied XK120C – the C-type – with a fabricated steel tube frame and an aerodynamically honed aluminium skin.
Three works entries were sent to Le Mans in 1951, and the C-type instantly proved the pace-setter – the car of Stirling Moss and Jack Fairman clipped six seconds off the lap record. By midnight, the Moss/Fairman car and the entry of Clemente Biondetti and Leslie Johnson had retired with oil-pressure failure, left only the car of Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead. Fortunately, the fast pace of Jaguar's 'hares' had left the competition reeling in their attempts to keep up, and Walker and Whitehead could easily control their 45-minute lead to score a memorable first Le Mans win for Jaguar. It was the first car to cover more than 3500km (2174 miles) in the race.
"During practice, Peter Walker – a very good driver indeed – came in complaining he couldn't go any faster. He had some strange tinted goggles, and I told him to put clear ones on. He went back out and broke the lap record. Towards the end of the race, Walker and Peter Whitehead had built up a lead of three-quarters of an hour, which I felt was quite sufficient. I hung out the SLOW sign to conserve the car. However, someone had persuaded Sir William Lyons that this lead wasn't sufficient and he told me to put out the FASTER sign. I did, but in a way that Walker couldn't see it. Obviously, he continued at the same pace, and Sir William noticed this. 'Sure he can see it, England?' he asked me. 'Better stick it out a bit further'. We then had a situation where I was showing FASTER when Sir William was looking, and SLOW when he wasn't. Poor Walker got rather confused, so I had a word with Whitehead before he took over. I gave him a stopwatch and told him to keep to a certain time and ignore all signals. We hung out FASTER signs regularly, but as Sir William commented, 'It's not making much difference, England'."
Competitions manager Frank 'Lofty' England on unusual race tactics for Le Mans in 1951 -
Drivers: Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton
Car: C-type
Laps: 304
Distance: 2540 miles (4087km)
Average speed: 106mph (170kph)
After the first Le Mans success of 1951, improvements to the C-type for 1952 focused on improved aerodynamics with a streamlined body, but this caused engine overheating which forced all three cars to retire. One piece of then revolutionary technology that improved performance was Jaguar's innovative disc brakes. Although some rivals were more powerful, the disc brakes gave the C-type a huge advantage into corners. With the old 1951 bodywork back on the C-type, Duncan Hamilton and former war hero and Colditz escapee Tony Rolt dominated, winning Le Mans with a 100mph-plus (160kph) average speed for the first time in the event's history (this was despite Hamilton suffering a broken nose – and the car a smashed windscreen – after hitting a bird at speed). It was the first time a car had covered more than 4,000km (2485 miles) in the race. All three works Jaguars finished in the top four, with Stirling Moss and Peter Walker second, and Peter Whitehead and Ian Stewart fourth, while the privateer C-type of Belgians Roger Laurent and Charles de Tornaco finished ninth. The result – against the greatest Le Mans line-up of drivers and cars to date – was praised by The Daily Telegraph as "Britain's greatest motor-race triumph of all time".
"The disc brakes gave us a great advantage over our principal adversaries and we knew they'd last the 24 hours without having to be nursed. At the end of the Mulsanne straight, we Jaguar drivers could bring the cars' speed down from 150mph to 30mph in less than 300 yards."
1953 winner Duncan Hamilton on the significance of the C-type's disc brakes
"We realised that competition was the best way of producing publicity. If you were in a Jaguar, people would pull up beside you and ask: 'What is it?' But, as soon as we won Le Mans, people would immediately know what a Jaguar was. That win put us on the map. And winning Le Mans didn't cost much. I'd be surprised if it cost more than £15,000. But it was most important, for it helped our sales hugely in America."
Competitions manager Frank 'Lofty' England on the benefits of those first Le Mans wins
"My proudest moment was when my Jaguar first won the Le Mans 24 Hours race – the first time a British car had won since the Bentley boys. A manufacturer has to remember that participation in racing is for the benefit of business, and this attitude can dilute the pleasure. I must say, however, that I do get pleasure from racing, even if a great deal of it is spoilt by the anxiety which one cannot help but feel during an important race that one hopes to win. To hear one of the timekeepers in the pit announce that so-and-so who is in the lead is overdue compares unfavourably with the most hair-raising nightmare."
Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons on the thrill of racing. -
Drivers: Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb
Car: D-type
Laps: 307 Distance: 2570 miles (4136km)
Average speed: 107mph (172kph)
An all-new Jaguar – the D-type – was produced for 1954, moving away from space-frame construction to a lighter, and more rigid monocoque design. A sleek body profile (made even more streamlined by turning Jaguar's distinctive vertical air intake horizontal) helped improve the car's straightline speed and cornering over the C-type. Despite fuel problems for all three works cars, the D-type proved instantly fast on its 1954 debut, with Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton missing out on victory by only 105 seconds (a blink of an eye in Le Mans terms). In 1955, it was the car to beat, with Mike Hawthorn setting a new lap record of 122.39mph as he raced to victory with Ivor Bueb. It was a hollow, bittersweet win, though. In addition to another manufacturer's tragic pit-straight accident which resulted in the death of 80 spectators, the Jaguar family had its own reasons for grieving – John Lyons, the 25-year-old son of founder Sir William, had died in a road accident on the way to the circuit. -
Drivers: Ron Flockhart and Ninian Sanderson
Car: D-type
Laps: 300 Distance: 2507 miles (4034km)
Average speed: 104mph (167kph)
The 1956 Le Mans 24 Hours would be Jaguar's last official appearance as a works team at La Sarthe (for a while), but there were already a host of privateer teams ready to take the Jaguar endurance-racing baton. One of the most prominent of these was Ecurie Ecosse founded by Scottish businessman David Murray. The team's cars were finished in a metallic blue to match the Scottish flag. At the start, two of the three works D-types crashed out at the Esses, while the third works car would later be hampered by fuel injection problems that would limit it to sixth place. Into the breach stepped Ecurie Ecosse drivers Ninian Sanderson and Ron Flockhart, winning by just one lap. On October 13, 1956, Jaguar announced it was withdrawing from motor racing to return its focus to the international expansion of its road-car business. Le Mans had proved good to Jaguar, but there was still one more win for the D-type to come… -
Drivers: Ron Flockhart and Ivor Bueb
Car: D-type
Laps: 327 Distance: 2732 miles (4396km)
Average speed: 114mph (183kph)
With a new, three-litre engine limit due to be introduced at Le Mans for 1958, the 1957 race would prove to be the last hurrah for many classic post-war sports car designs – including Jaguar's D-type. The Ecurie Ecosse entries of Ron Flockhart and Ivor Bueb, and Ninian Sanderson and John Lawrence scored a memorable one-two, while the French Equipe Los Amigos D-type of Jean Lucas and Jean-Marie Brousselet, and the Belgian car of Paul Frere and Freddy Rousselle made it a clean sweep of the top four. Rounding out the top six was former works driver and 1953 winner Duncan Hamilton in another privateer entry. It is still the best-ever performance by any marque in Le Mans history – five cars entered and five cars at the finish, in first, second, third, fourth and sixth. -
Drivers: Jan Lammers, Johnny Dumfries and Andy Wallace
Car: TWR Jaguar Sport XJR-9LM
Laps: 394 Distance: 3313 miles (5331km)
Average speed: 138mph (222kph)
Although the Jaguar E-type was a 1960s style icon, and was raced with success, it never won Le Mans. A new, V12-powered XJ13 was designed, built and tested in secret, setting a 161.6mph record at the UK's MIRA proving ground in 1967 (a benchmark which stood until 1998), but it was never raced. It wasn't until Jaguar's XJS won the 1984 European Touring Car Championship that Jaguar returned to sports car racing. In 1987, the V12-powered XJR-6 dominated the World Sportscar Championship (WSC) and finished fifth at Le Mans. An all-new XJR-9 was built for 1988, with a low-drag aerodynamic package (designation 'LM') for the long straights of Le Mans. A mammoth five-car entry was put together, but it was the lead car of Jan Lammers, Johnny Dumfries and Andy Wallace that narrowly pipped the works Porsche 962C, marking the first time the German marque had been beaten at Le Mans since 1980. Another XJR-9 finished fourth. The car also won a second WSC title for Jaguar, all celebrated with a parade through the streets of Coventry.
"The Mulsanne Straight … is a public road, a Route Nationale, complete with trees, cafes, houses, telegraph poles and everything else. Trucks run down it, and produce tramlines in the road. And this is where we're flat-out for over a minute at 200mph. It scared the hell out of me. Then there's the Mulsanne Kink. It's not a kink, it's a bloody corner. But somehow the Jaguar Le Mans cars felt totally at home there. It was like riding a bike. When you've done it once, it seems easy thereafter."
Martin Brundle on his first impressions of Le Mans with Jaguar in 1987
"The car handled so well. Because the chassis set-up was so good, we could run a lot less wing than the other cars, so we were absolutely flying. We managed to reach about 390kph on the Mulsanne Straight."
1988 winner Jan Lammers on his view from the driver's seat
"The Porsche Curves [a series of corners near the end of the Le Mans lap] were a revelation in this era. It's one of the best sections of the track, and I couldn't believe how good the Jaguar was through there. Turning into the right-hander it's a case of smashing it down a gear or two, dabbing the brakes then nailing the throttle to the next left. In the Jaguar, you just kept your foot flat."
1988 winner Andy Wallace on the high-speed challenge of the Porsche Curves -
Drivers: John Nielsen, Price Cobb and Martin Brundle
Car: TWR Jaguar Sport XJR-12LM
Laps: 359 Distance: 3034 miles (4882km)
Average speed: 127mph (204kph)
The addition of chicanes on the Mulsanne straight may have changed the nature of Le Mans for 1991, but it was still renowned as a circuit where raw power and straightline speed were key. So, although the turbo V6-engined XJR-10 and XJR-11 were used for more conventional circuits in the World Sportscar Championship (WSC) and IMSA series, the V12-engined XJR-12 was retained for Le Mans. The TWR Jaguar Sport team scored a memorable one-two, with the car of Jan Lammers, Andy Wallace and Franz Konrad coming in a close second. This would be Jaguar's last Le Mans 24 Hours victory to date – the TWR-run XJR-12s would win a third WSC title for the marque in 1991, and score a memorable two-three-four finish at Le Mans that year, but the end of the Group C rules era would be the last time Jaguars fight for overall victory.
"At night, you need five laps before your pace settles down. Le Mans is not particularly well illuminated out in the country. Another problem is flash photography, especially when you leave the pits. Within a minute you're doing well over 200mph. When you get flash cameras in your eyes when you're tired, it's bad news, so you have to keep your wits about you. I think it's unfair to say that sports car racing is a one-race championship, as some of the Fleet Street boys think, but there's no doubt that – along with the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix – Le Mans is truly one of the great events."
1990 winner Martin Brundle on racing at Le Mans at night

Some suggestions and concerns: Successful E could allow a free jump. This will help him avoid being kited with people who can dash away after his first jump and also provides some unique chase strategies in the jungle. Or if not a jump, AT LEAST grant vision on a successful hit so he can jump if in brush. Does his Predator Radar Vision extend for the entire duration of his ult, or only until he jumps? Previously, radar vision was used to find and hunt down specific targets before bursting them down very quickly. They died fast enough that true vision was not necessary after the first jump. However now that his damage is spread out over more time, it may be necessary to keep that true vision after the initial jump to really stick to them. Especially for the team, since true vision no longer sets him up for an insta-gib, even 3 secs of continued true vision like the move speed boost would seem reasonable. If would be awesome if Rengar could keep some aspect of his stealth. Maybe 1 sec stealth after entering/leaving bush while ulted, or a 1-time 3 sec stealth at some point during ult (maybe reactivate ult to trigger this). Taking away all his stealth ability destroys his character so much. As I understand it now, Rengar's ult has been changed from stealth and true vision to basically a combination of TF reveal (but longer duration, non global) and Quinn's move speed boost (but without attack speed buff and ending aoe damage). Without seeing the numbers, I'm a little concerned that this wont become a major nerf long run. Taking out something as major as the best stealth skill in game and replacing it with a move speed buff that could easily be heavily nerfed in the future is a bit scary. Especially since his ult gives no boost to damage, it's a lot of utility with no damage for an assassin. Also when any champ has a skill with that much power in one single area (HUMONGOUS move speed) I could easily see people complaining later about it, causing it to get nerfed and leaving Rengar with a good (but not ult-worthy) move speed boost with no damage instead of his current stealth. Since his ult currently gives no damage for an assassin character, what if Rengar recieved +percemt AD or +armor pen during the duration? That way it would truly be a steroid that would help him to both fine and catch prey but also kill them. I'm thinking about how Riven's ult allows her to do sustained damage throughout a teamfight.

You know what's funny? He was just here a few posts ago when people were praising the changes, and now he's nowhere to be seen when everyone realizes they don't like it. Coincidence?
Enfys Ellezard
This is not a rework. This is butchering.
Bonetooth necklace, have it affect minions too.
So you remove the key skill that made REGNAR, REGNAR, And added move speed? *clap clap clap* So much for our ultimate hunter. Khazix is laughing. Maybe you should remove Khaz's evolution's too. Cause you know, they make him stop to do them. While your at it, take Noc's darkness and tf's vision. Real Riot, get ****ed. Please continue to run your game into the ground. I can't wait for November when I can put this dumb**** obsession of a game to rest.
Jimmys Rustled
So today I looked over the Rengar changes and wow, am I disappointed. I love playing Rengar for the simple fact that if there's a team fight, your come in late and you survive and there's a straggler, you can use your ult to find them and hunt them down or use your ult to get to the adc behind the front lines using your stealth. But now I find that Rengar's stealth is removed and replaced with nothing more than a Movement speed buff. Why is Rengar becoming another Yi/Hecarim/Rammus? Lots of players love Rengar for the literal thrill you get when you go into stealth and start hunting down your prey. But with the removal of your stealth, you're left to an open eye and can't be the "Predator" you're supposed to be. What I don't understand the most is how Riot said that players loved the movement speed of Rengar's ult. Since Rengar was released, not once have I ever heard that. You can ask any pro Rengar player and they will tell you that they love Rengar's ult for the stealth and hunting feel to it. Absolutely no Rengar player wants the change to his ult. The only ones who I can see wanting this are the main ADC's that get blown up from the only good Assassin left in the game who has the fun aspect left in them. Riot, please be the company we want you to be and provide some answers to this. And don't just say "We made the changes so it leaves a bigger pool of opportunity." The only opportunity he has now is getting seen running straight at their front line.
Toru Itai
honestly.. i'd rather you just remove rengar than do this.. please leave rengar alone.. this is horable..
uh...you just destroyed rengar. this is absolute ****. weakened q damage, no durability on W, no stealth...what the heck does he have exactly? you completely made him into the standard run of the mill bruiser, and a bad one at that. that ult is horrendous. its just a movespeed bonus? gee wiz golly thanks for that. i honestly don't even know what else to say. you completely ruined the feel of rengar and turned him into an entirely different theme. oh and the necklace sucks too. 28ad at level 18?... again...that ult change is nothing short of laughable. thank you for completely rendering rengar useless. and try not to release anymore champs with stealth if you're going to just take it away.

Double Indemnity is easily one of the best films ever made, both in the film-noir genre and in general as a complete masterpiece. Not only does the film have stunning cinematography, lighting, acting, and the undisputed champion of film-noir directing, Billy Wilder, but the way in which the story is told is genius. The plot, it goes without saying, is a deep and interesting storyline, which is bound to keep an audience hooked from the outset. The plot follows the story of an experienced and well-respected salesman, Walter Neff, who meets the extremely seductive wife of one of his clients, Phyllis Dietrichson, who proposes to kill her husband for the proceeds of an insurance policy, in which Walter devises a scheme to gain twice the amount under the double indemnity clause. However, like all classic dramas, this does not go smoothly as planned, as Walter's best friend, Barton Keyes, suspects them of their illegal doings. The performance by Barbara Stanwyck is undoubtedly one of the most remembered, as her 'femme fatale' provides the film with twists and turns throughout. The film deals with great depth in terms of lust, betrayal and undeniable greed. An undeniable, undisputed classic by one of the greatest directors of the 20th century, the Billy Wilder.
Directed by seven-time Oscar winner Billy Wilder, a cinematic legend (to say the least), this film was one of the first 'noir' films that I had the divine pleasure to lay my eyes on, and it did not disappoint. Herein we have stunning performances from the magnetic William Holden, as a hack screenwriter, and the charismatic Gloria Swanson, as the dwindled silent-film star, as well as the unforgettable supporting role of Erich Von Stroheim.
Its intricate plot of an obscure screenwriter, Joe Gillis, who is taken under the wing of Norma Desmond, a faded silent-movie star, who believes he can make her script a masterpiece, ends up in a spiral of events of murder, love and total anarchy.
The film was beautifully set up, with the iconic swimming pool scene at both the start and the end. This impressive idea of starting the film at its resolution was one of the first of its kind, and has set the paving stone for many, many films we see today. A true classic that was worth every Oscar it was nominated for — and won.
On first viewing, this film will seem a little bizarre (to say the least), and more than likely you will not understand the film on first viewing. After doing a little reading on the film, this is completely normal; it takes many viewings to fully comprehend the depth in which the film seeks to go.
It follows the story of a director who struggles to find a new idea for his upcoming film, which leads him to delving into a battle with his own conscience, in which he recalls major events in his life through a series of dreams and fantasies.
Federico Fellini, furthermore, completely epitomised the 'film noir' genre, and with some serious style; in doing so he gained wide recognition and founded the idea of 'Felliniesque' cinema. For any avid cinema watchers, 8 ½ is a must-see.
8 ½ is an exhilarating, confusing, unique, fascinating, and inspired journey into a director's consciousness, and a great opportunity to observe the master of Italian neorealism — Federico Fellini — at his very best. It stands out as one of my all-time favourites, for pushing cinematic boundaries. A timeless classic!
It goes without saying that Alfred Hitchcock needs no introduction as one of the greatest directors of all time, and this film further proves that point under the genre of a film-noir thriller. Inspired by Patricia Highsmith's novel Strangers On A Train, Hitchcock proved to have an avid fascination with a lot of her work, this being evident with the elements of murder, mishaps and intensity in most of his films.
The storyline seems innocent enough, when Guy Haines (Farley Granger) bumps into Anthony (Robert Walker), but they share an eccentric secret: they both have somebody they want out of their lives — a wife and a father. This leads them to a series of crazy ideas, blackmailing, guilt and an undeniably iconic finale.
Strangers On A Train offers not only an intense thriller, surrounding the two strangers having a dark secret which they both have in common, but also a somewhat black comedy, with a few bizarre and intricate laughs along the way. A must-see for any Hitchcock fanatics, a hidden gem in Hitchcock's widely established filmography.
German Director Fritz Lang offers another timeless, classic thriller under the title of the widely innovative and profound 'M'. Like all classic films, we see mesmerising performances by the lead actors, in this case by the actor Peter Lorre, a strange-looking actor (to say the least). In saying this, Peter Lorre's character is one of many 'strange' things about the film, and it is this obscure strangeness about the film that makes it such a beautiful piece of cinema. It follows the story of a number of young children being killed in the city of Berlin; as well as traumatising the police force, who send out an intense manhunt for this child serial-killer, other criminals and murderers assist to seek out this sinister murderer. A film that will undoubtedly stay with you throughout your life, and one that will definitely have you hooked from start to finish — well it did me anyway. A film that displayed parallelisms and corruption, in pre-war German society, with a powerful finale to match.
It is widely considered a 'cornerstone' of film noir, with its sparing use of symbolic shadows, intricate dialogue and impressive character developments throughout the film — not to mention an outstanding cast to match, with the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. The plot, however, is far from simple, which made it difficult for director John Huston, who also wrote the screenplay, to select key scenes from the novel by Dashiell Hammett, as his script was practically written for him. The plot follows a private detective, Sam Spade, who is seeking out the murderer of his partner, which ultimately leads him to getting mixed up with a group of three outlandish criminals and a woman, who speaks far from the truth. The film spirals into catastrophic events, filled with murder and the desire for the statuette of the Maltese Falcon. A must-see for any film-noir or Humphrey Bogart fan, as this is simply one of his greatest achievements — up there with Casablanca.
A classic example of film noir, down to the tee, as it combines an intense soundtrack, amazing visuals, and innovative dialogue, in which many critics have considered it well above its time and to be better fitted as a noir film of the 60s/70s. When watching this for the first time, there is no doubt that you will pick up on its above-impressive cinematography, sharing standards with Citizen Kane.
It follows the story of a pulp fiction novelist, Holly Martins (played by Joseph Cotton), who returns to a post-war Vienna to greet his old friend, Harry Lime (played by Orson Welles), only to find out that he has been killed in a freak accident. However, on listening to different variations of the disappearance of his associate, the pieces do not fit together, and he takes it upon his own hands to seek out the truth.
For any die-hard film-noir fans, any of Carol Reed's films are well worth a watch, as in this classic, he brings the 'urban nightmare' world of America into a less recognised setting, in which he provides the foundations for one of the greatest films of the late 40s.
La Strada is the film that completely established Federico Fellini as one of the greatest Italian directors of his generation, undoubtedly on par with the likes of the "spaghetti western" director Sergio Leone. This film, like all perfect film noir, has so much more to offer than the plot, the beautiful photography, the mesmerising musical score, and the beautifully elegant setting. The plot follows the sad story of a waif, Gelsomina, who is sold to a travelling entertainer, Zampano, for a mere 10,000 lire. Unfortunately, Gelsomina endures psychical and emotional pain under his supervision, with romance, betrayal and deceit throughout the film. All of this makes for a beautiful film that ultimately displays humanity's finer aspects, and questions them, with a truly moving plot and with a stunning performance by Anthony Quinn as the baneful Zampano.
A year after the Second World War, came the genius thriller by Alfred Hitchcock, a film never considered his greatest, when put alongside his more acclaimed horror/thrillers such as Psycho, The Birds, Rear Window, and Vertigo, but personally I believe it is one of his more perfect films. The perfection comes in the precise dialogue, the beautiful cinematography and the flawless performances from Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. It follows the story of a woman, Alicia Huberman, whose father is convicted for treason against the U.S and ultimately commits suicide in prison. This leads to her taking to drink and men, in which she is confronted by a government agent, T.R. Devlin, to spy on her father's Nazi friends operating in Rio de Janeiro. However, the story only deepens, as a romance develops between the two. It goes without saying that this is a stand-out masterpiece by Hitchcock, and highly underrated, with a stunning, symbolic and penetrating script. It also goes without saying that the cast alone should be a reason to give this gem a watch.
Like The Third Man, also Carol Reed's, the film is placed in a lesser-known environment, Northern Ireland, which was concerned with the political and social unrest. The film follows Johnny McQueen, an Irish Nationalist, who leads a clandestine Irish organisation, and for his organisation to continue, he plans to stage a hold-up, which will guarantee funds. However, the hold-up does not go to plan, and the police stage a manhunt to find him.
Throughout the years, Odd Man Out has been considered one of the greatest films in its genre, and is spoken with high regard by many directors, including Roman Polanski, in which he found inspiration. A must-see for any fans of Carol Reed's The Third Man. A classic neorealism film, which dealt with aspects of the social and political unrest, with terrific acting by James Mason and his bravura performance, along with his beautiful counterparts Kathleen Ryan and Cyril Cusack. A film that is often overlooked as a classic, but, nevertheless, is considered a gem of film-noir cinema.

PRETORIA, South Africa — Prosecutors unveiled what seemed to be damning testimony Wednesday against Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, accused of murdering his girlfriend. But as the day wore on, the defense attorney savaged the state's case, portraying the investigation as bumbling and shoddy.
Laying out what probably will be the basis of their future case, prosecutors told Pistorius' bail hearing that a witness heard noises sounding like a quarrel shortly before model Reeva Steenkamp was fatally shot the night of Feb. 13. Another neighbor heard a shot, a woman scream, then more gunshots, they said.
The police investigator on the case, Hilton Botha, said Pistorius didn't phone an ambulance after the shooting. The athlete had a history of threatening people, he told the court, adding that boxes of what the officer first identified as steroids but later called testosterone were found in Pistorius' home.
"I believe that he knew that Reeva was in the bathroom and he shot four shots through the door and killed her," Botha said.
But after defense attorney Barry Roux succeeded in raising questions about the evidence, Pistorius' hopes of getting bail appeared to have improved. He said he shot Steenkamp by mistake, convinced that she was a burglar.
Under cross examination, Botha admitted that he found nothing at the scene inconsistent with Pistorius' account that he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar. He also said the victim had no defensive wounds, nor were there any signs of a struggle or an assault.
Botha acknowledged that the woman who heard what sounded like quarreling at Pistorius' house lived 600 yards away. Botha later modified that to 300 yards, muttering that he would like to measure the distance.

text: Faith, Hope and Love – an exhibition about sailor's tattoos Pausa Starta Faith, Hope and Love, an exhibition about sailor's tattoos. The Exhibition will run until the end of 2014. The museum owns a collection of approximately 170 original tattoos of the 1920s and 1930s. Among the themes are nautical stars, fully rigged ships, exotic animals, women in various states of dress and undress, swallows, roses, anchors, and much more. A few of the tattoos have previously been used for an occasional exhibition or book illustration. Most of them have never been shown to the general public before.What is a sailor's tattoo? While revolving around the actual physical tattoos, the exhibition examines them in a much larger context. Why did sailors get tattooed and how did they choose their themes? If the tattoos were meant to speak for the sailors, what were they trying to say? The issue has taken on new life in recent years as classical sailor's tattoos have become fashionable again. Tattoos that resemble those of the museum are seen everywhere and referred to as the Old School. But if they are no longer the jealously guarded property of sailors, who wears them instead? Who longs to adorn their body with an anchor, a rose or a swallow? And what meaning do they attribute to these ancient symbols? Faith, Hope and Love looks at gender issues as well. How do sailor's tattoos reflect traditional concepts of femininity and masculinity? A tattoo is both a decorative and a communicative statement. It's not surprising then that they offer a glimpse into various historical ideals of gender and sexuality. Why did so many sailors chose tattoos that portrayed women in various states of dress and undress? And where did all the male symbols go? Just as interesting is to explore why contemporary women chose tattoos of the female form to express their own femininity. Faith, Hope and Love will run from 13 December 2012 and will run until the end of 2014. Sjöhistoriska

I need some help finding the name and artist of a song.
I managed to catch some of the lyrics throughout the song:
'Move move closer sit on the sofa in between as you move to my
Drink red wine from the lips of another
Your lips are just like mine tripped out on the circle line
Curse my name with your passionate cover
Rinse the sparkle from your hair
Strawberry blonde with your p rickly stare'
They don't all come in a chunk like that, i couldn't get all of them.
I think the song was released between 1999 and 2002 and was played on Viva Zwei.
I remember what the video was like, if that is of any help. The band were in what looked like a maze which was quite misty and the lead singer had red facepaint over one eye. It's a fairly moody song, definitely of the alternative genre. It isn't particularly heavy and i'm not certain but id' hesitate to put it in the electronic category.
Any help would be great- i've already tried searching the lyrics but i'm coming up with nothing.

The Girls star posed for photographs at the L.A. Loves Alex's Lemonade event on 29 September (12) in a long teal tunic with a barely visible pair of shorts underneath, but the following day she received a backlash for showing too much skin.
The 26 year old has now defended her decision to flaunt her curvy figure, insisting her look would not have made headlines if she had a body like actress Olivia Wilde's.
Speaking to reporters at a New Yorker Festival event, she said, "Last week I wore something to an event... a big top and little shorts, and a bunch of (blog posts) came out that I had been out without pants. I actually saw it... 'Love it or hate it: The no pants look.' My mum... thought it was so funny. My boyfriend (Fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff) was like, 'People seem to be worked up about you going out without pants.' But I didn't go out without pants! I had shorts on.
"If Olivia Wilde had gone to a party in... little shorts, she might have been on a 'weird dressed list' or been told her outfit was cute. I don't think a girl with tiny thighs would have received such no-pants attention.
"I think what it really was... 'Why did you all make us look at your thighs?' My response is, get used to it because I am going to live to be 100, and I am going to show my thighs every day till I die."

Numerous fantasy analysts have touted Jon Lester as a buy-low candidate, and given his poor first half, there is certainly a course correction in order. This course correction will not result in improved fantasy contributions, however, and Lester's owners would be prudent to take advantage of current perceptions. Think of Lester as a bubble stock: he has value, but the superficial indicators mask broader trends and obscure an impending collapse. With so many analysts promoting the value he does have, astute owners have a last opportunity to capitalize on his decline.
The case to acquire Lester is clear. In 112.2 innings, Lester has gone 5-6 with a 4.49 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. ERA indicators paint a different picture, showing his underlining skills to be in line with better results: a 3.57 FIP, a 3.60 xFIP, and a 3.69 SIERA. A quick glance at Lester's profile and performance would seem to indicate ERA improvement of nearly a full run.
Lester also benefits from the halo effect of a couple seasons as a truly elite fantasy option. In 2009 he went 15-8 with a 3.41 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 203.1 innings, with 225 strikeouts for a ratio of 9.96 K/9. In 2010, he was, if anything, better, with a line of 19-9/3.25/1.20 with the same 225 strikeouts in 208 innings for a K/9 of 9.74.
Problems arise, however, when we examine Lester's career trajectory. Looking first at his strikeout rates (all rates below are K/9) we see a clear trend from 2009 to the present:
2009: 9.96
2010: 9.74
2011: 8.55
2012: 7.53
With regard to this year specifically, Lester has posted a tERA of 4.52, nearly identical to his actual ERA and a strong indication of what we can expect in the second half. Metrics like FIP and xFIP brush pitchers in broad strokes by attempting to neutralize batted ball data like home run rate, while tERA accommodates the fact that hit trajectories are, to some degree, within the pitcher's control. Lester's tERA is adversely affected in comparison with his FIP and xFIP because his line drive percentage has jumped from 15.9% last year to 23.3% this year. In other words, hitters are not only hitting Lester, they're squaring up and hitting him hard, and this seems unlikely to change.
Lester's velocity has declined steadily since he entered the league, which in itself is not concerning. All pitchers see their velocity decline in an absolute sense, so Lester's movement from 93.5 MPH with his fastballs in 2009 to 92.2 MPH this season is not at issue. What does affect his pitching is the differential between his pitches. While his fastball velocity has declined, his other pitches have remained static. In particular, his change-up velocity is marginally higher than it's ever been, at 85.9 MPH compared to 85.7 MPH and 85.6 MPH in his 2009-2010 peak. With virtually identical change-up velocities, the decline in his fastball has resulted in less separation, and his change-up, formerly an asset, has become much less effective. Lester also stopped throwing his slider after the 2010 season, favoring instead a sinker, which is much less effective per pitch values.
These changes have manifested most directly in his platoon splits. While his performance has declined against batters from both sides, right-handed batters have gone from .235/.299/.350 and a .292 wOBA in 2009 and .216/.304/.316 and a .285 wOBA in 2010 to .276/.328/.455 with a .335 wOBA in 2012.
The conclusion is clear: with the decline in velocity differential between his fastball and change-up, Lester no longer has a weapon to confront opposite-handed batters. With the transition from devastating slider to relatively ineffective sinker, his ability to challenge same-side hitters has also declined.
Since the start of June, Lester has been moderately more effective than in the first two months of the season, but the improvement is a mirage. Looking at his game logs, he gave up two runs in six innings at home against Baltimore. He had three mediocre outings at home against Washington, at Chicago (Cubs) and at home against Atlanta. He was roughed up by Toronto, gave up one run in 6.1 innings at Oakland, and was tattooed by the Yankees.
Lester is now a matchup option and little else. He performed adequately against National League teams and at one of the most pitcher friendly parks in baseball, and suffered against stronger offenses. Looking forward to the second half of the season, Boston has one of the most challenging schedules of any team. Buster Olney ranks their schedule the second most difficult in all of baseball. Starting Friday, the Red Sox play at Tampa Bay, the White Sox and Blue Jays at home, at Texas, at New York, and at home against Detroit. After a series with the Twins, they go back to Texas, play at Cleveland and Baltimore, and then again in New York before a home series with the Angels. With that schedule, Lester won't have more than one favorable matchup in the next month, and depending on how the rotation lines up, he may miss that series. Lester's season line could well get worse before it improves.
Lester has reached a new level of performance. He is no longer a fantasy ace, and is not even a must-start in standard leagues. Unless and until he either defies the linear progression of time and regains his lost velocity or slows his change-up to regain the fifteen MPH differential between his fastball and change-up, and until he either masters his sinker or returns to his slider, Lester will not be a top starting pitcher.
Lester will probably have another nice season or two in which everything breaks right and he helps fantasy teams, but he's simply no longer reliable. If an owner in your league looks to his improved recent performance or the fallacies of his FIP, xFIP and SIERA, you should move him while you have the opportunity.

How to end the bullying and harassment of MPs' staff
By Lucille Harvey It is farcical that the employment regulations that MPs put into law are not accessible to their own staff. Revelations about the treatment of MPs' staff are unsurprising to those of us who have worked for a Member of Parliament. Sexual harassment, on the scale that Channel 4 News uncovered, is symptomatic of a culture where abuse of power and impunity are rife. A culture that allows … Continue reading

Accessibility - Key Standards
BSI provides a range of products to help businesses assess and implement measures that ensure compliance with disability discrimination legislation.
Companies must make a concerted effort to ensure that as many disabled people as possible have full access to places of interest, goods and services.
This legislation states that if a company does not meet the required level of disability access at their premises they may face prosecution. Disability access is not restricted to building access alone, but also the introduction of additional features such as grad rails, touch legible signs and visual/ audio alarm systems.
These guides and standards:
- Detail necessary guidance and best practice
- Can be combined to create compliance manuals
- Integrate with existing documentation/systems
- Aid the Management of actions and review
- Report on 'gaps' in business systems
- Allow flexible reporting options including export to PDF.
The implementation of the Equality Act in October 2010, means that a "concerted effort" also covers the provision of information (the law states that where a service "relates to the provision of information," the steps reasonable for a provider to have to take "include steps for ensuring that in the circumstances concerned the information is provided in an accessible format").
The British standard on web accessibility BS 8878 Web Accessibility. Code of Practice, published in November 2010, builds upon the 2006 publicly available specification Guide to Good Practice in Commissioning Accessible Websites (PAS 78). 'BS 8878 Web accessibility.

Egg Drop Soup with Clams
Egg Drop Soup Recipe
3 eggs (beaten)
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 pound clams (rinsed and scrubbed)
4 oz. tomato (diced into small pieces)
1 stalk scallion (finely chopped)
Salt to taste
3 dashes white pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine
Bring the chicken broth and water to boil. Add the diced tomato into the soup and bring it to a quick boil. Add a thin stream of the beaten egg into the boiling broth by circling around the soup pot in a clock-wise manner until the eggs are used up. Wait for 1 minute or so until the eggs are cooked then add the clams and seasonings. As soon as the clam shells are open, add the chopped scallions into the egg drop soup. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
Cook's Note:
When you pour the eggs into the boiling soup, don't stir the soup with ladle or it will break up the eggs too much.

Oh! I actually kind of like the sticky egg drop soup (or maybe it was just the last one I had in new york?). But I've no doubt this is definitely much more delicious and elegant! :)
ahhh, a simple meal that can be prepare~
as in the pic taken, its mouth watering!~Very, very nice dish!
Now this is my kind of egg drop soup! The clams surely gives it a brothy goodness!
What a pretty egg drop soup! I've always been a big fan of egg drop soup, and the clams sound fantastic in it.
I love the looks of this…I've had clams on the brain lately so it would seem you've given me a fantastic excuse to cook some.
i do love a good egg drop soup. i mum makes it with spinach and meatballs. it's well good! x
ooh, this looks great. must go buy some clams today. thanks!
Perfect. Gonna be eating this one. You know I have a love of clams, and this soup looks like a perfect showcase for them. Lovely photo too.
Hi Bee,
Thanks for this simple, easy to prepare soup. Eggs and clams are really good for me now. I will go get some clams and make it for tonight's dinner
I want to have this just for the broth! :)
I have to give it to you, RM. Your obsession with seafood and shell fish has no boundaries. I had similar version but without the shell. I think the clams are smaller, too. Yours definitely look fresh and ready to savor.
Wow! your blog has wonderful recipes and perfect pics.
I'm totally with you on American Chinese restaurant eggdrop soup. Given the choice of MSG water with hocky pucks (wonton soup), salty wallpaper paste with sponges (egg drop soup) and hot and sour soup, I always opted for the hot and sour soup if for no other reason than the anti bacterial properties of the vinegar.
I could see how a soup like this would change anyones mind and erase all those bad experiences.
Oooh, I love egg drop soup. And the eggs look so fluffy in this soup. Amazing. I admit I don't do it 'right' either. My eggs don't look like this at all…..:(
This looks really yummy!!! I will try to make this soup one day.
the soup looks so delicious!
I do not like sticky egg drop soup (due to the cornflour added to thicken the soup) but I do enjoy the "silky, smooth" version. Usually, I will turn off the heat, then stir in the whisked egg and make sure the egg is just cooked and not overdone.
Thanks for the recipe. I also hate the 'artificially' thickened soups around here.
I've been following your blog for some time and like the challenge of trying to make it vegetarian. I would gladly eat your version but my wife is vege.
Cut some old ginger into thin strips and add to the soup to boil for more flavorful veg taste. And/or soak tofu skins and cut into smaller pieces to add into the soup for something to eat instead of just drinking soup.
For variety you can put some tom yam paste (or cubes) to make tom yam egg drop soup.
Actually you also can add cabbages or any other type of veg suitable for soups. Improvise and experiment.
We are talking about EGG drop soup, something clear, light and easy. It is perfectly OK to replace clams with tofu or more leaf vegetables as some people may not eat meat. When you change the soup base to Tom Yum, it is totally a different dish. What about curry or Chinese herbs?
Thanks for the recipe, this was great and extremely easy! (Definately going into my keepers. :) ) Thank you.
blog hopped here from another blog. Your recipes and photos are making me hungry. But they all look easy enough for me to try one of these weekends. I have already bookmarked a few to try it out soon. THanks for sharing. :)
Hi Rasa Malaysia,
i am just wondering what kind of chicken broth you use… thats all. Thanks :)If you have time, you can boil your own stock for hourse on whole chicken, scallions, rice wine, ginger and whatever vegetables you like. After simmering for several hours you can let the stock cool down, skim of excessive fat and remove chicken and vegetables. I sometimes make "ice cubes" of out of stock and store in freezer.
What can i replace with on the chinese rice wine and sesame oil? Can i exclude the both of this ingredients?
Hi Bee,
Had same type of soup with chicken instead of clams in Hong Kong. This was a completely different experience. MSG is very hard to avoid completely, but the best broth is definitely homemade. Sometimes I have to cheat by using Knorr haha as my work schedule is tight. But whenever there is time and leftover chicken parts, I cook broth. I cook mine with rice wine, chicken meat and bones, spring onions, ginger and various greens.
Good to see that you also use white pepper powder. It adds a excellent little "kick" to sauces and soups. I found sugar and white pepper to nearly do the same trick as MSG.
But as you mentioned MSG; have you tried anything named Mushroom seasoning or anything like that? It's supposedly a thing they sell instead of MSG now. I received this tip from a chinese guy.
Love the broth, but I really like a soup loaded with a bunch of things so instead of getting clams, which can be pricey here, I just fill it with chinese veggies and tofu, plus extra eggs.
Just made this and it was absolutely amazing. First recipe I've tried from your site and I can't wait to see what else I can try to make. :D
Wow, egg drop and crab rangoon sure brings back memory of chinese rest in Iowa.
Will surely try some of your recipes. Great to find this site. I am very weak in estimation when cooking is concern. Would be helpful if you can indicate how many persons each recipe is for :)

Ricky Hatton: Amir Khan deserves his chance against Mayweather
Amir Khan deserves his big chance against Floyd Mayweather Jr in the ring, according to Ricky Hatton - even if he'll probably lose.
Speaking at Canary Wharf on Tuesday, former world champion Hatton believes since Manny Pacquiao has come unstuck with two straight defeats, the Bolton-born boxer has the best chance of challenging Mayweather.
"I'll be made up if Amir fights Mayweather," said Hatton, who was at Jubilee Place mall signing copies of his autobiography for fans.
"Mayweather is running out of opponents he's been that good and if anyone deserves a shot it's Amir Khan. There's very few fighters who can match him in speed.
"Normally people fly at Floyd but If Amir can jab, move and keep out the way and, if Floyd has to be the attacker, it could be different.
"I don't think he'll beat him and I don't think Amir will mind me saying that - I think most would class him as an underdog - but it will certainly be interesting if Amir swallows his pride for one fight and doesn't go to war. If he keeps his head and boxes you never know."
The fight between Khan and Mayweather has yet to be confirmed but looks increasingly likely to go ahead next year.
Less likely is Pacquiao and Mayweather - both victors against Hatton.
"I don't think that fight will happen now, unless Pacqiao comes back with a real storming performance," said Hatton. "He struggled against (Timothy) Bradley and got beat by (Juan Manuel) Marquez as well. That fight lost him his shine a bit."
But if it does go ahead, then Hatton will be wanting his former arch-rival Mayweather to win, despite their being no love lost between the two before their fight in 2008.
Because 35-year-old Hatton said the success of the man nicknamed Pretty Boy - unbeaten in 45 fights - makes his performance against him in Las Vegas stand out.
"With every fight Floyd faces my performance is looking better and better," said Hatton. "For the first five or six rounds I had him under the cosh. I've seen Floyd mention a few times that I was the only one from start to finish who tried to beat him.
"A lot of people think 'I'm not going to beat him' and coast a little but I didn't."
Regarding the talent coming through on these shores, Hatton believes a host of British boxers will be competing for top prizes, starting with middleweight Billy Joe Saunders, who won the British Boxing Writers' Best Young Boxer award for 2013 this week.
As well as Saunders, Hatton said he has his eye on the Olympic 2012 successes such as Anthony Joshua and Luke Campbell.
"Billy Joe Saunders won the award and the majority of those who win it become world champion," said Hatton. "Hopefully he will. He is very talented and has a great chance.
"As do all the Olympians who had a great Games last year and are now turning professional. It will be great to see how they progress. Boxing is in a really healthy state."
Hatton was at Canary Wharf publicising his autobiography War and Peace at an event organised by Waterstones.
It's a tale of glorious success, followed by bitter defeat, shocking falling-outs, drink binges, drugs and a depression which nearly cost him his life.
Now back on his feet, Hatton said there was never any doubt it would be a brutally honest book.
"That's what people liked about my fighting style - there were no airs and graces," said Hatton, who retired last year following a defeat in his comeback fight against Vyacheslav Senchenko - his third in 48 professional fights. "What you see is what you get and that's because I'm honest.
"When I got beat by Floyd Mayweather Jr I had no excuses and when I got beat by Manny Pacquiao it was the same. And also when I lost my last fight. I try to be honest."
But he told The Wharf at the Waterstones organised book signing that opening up about the depression was very difficult.
"I'm still hugely embarrassed about my problems," he said. "I was a very, very poorly person as people will find out. There were lots of things.
"Everyone thinks it was the Mayweather defeat, the Pacquiao defeat, but it was more. I fell out with my family and I fell out with my trainer, Billy Graham, then there were the defeats and all of it together was why.
"I still don't speak to my parents and I don't speak to my brother (fellow boxer Matthew), I got destroyed in two rounds and was not going to be boxing anymore. I didn't care whether I lived or died.
"But now I've got two lovely little girls, Campbell's now 12, I have a wonderful girlfriend, I'm promoting fighters, I've got my health and fitness club which is doing really well. It couldn't be better."
War and Peace is priced £20 and available at both of the Waterstones stores in Canary Wharf.

Is Ricky back on something or is he just punch drunk? He must be if he thinks Khan deserves a shot at Mayweather. What a deluded comment. Khan has never fought at welterweight, he has no belt, he has lost two of his last four fights and got dropped by lightweight Julio Diaz last time out. So how does Khan possibly deserve a shot? He doesn't.
I would certainly get the pay per view just to see Khan get battered. I agree that he doesn't deserve a shot but I would love to see him get demolished. Maybe then he would stop talking nonsense about being a great fighter.
'...deserves his chance' Hatton's having a laugh en-he?
There are other boxers Khan SHOULD Fight before he gets "his chance". A rematch with Garcia for a start and I would love to see Kell Brook KNOCK HIM the F OUT! Khan don't deserve nothing more than a beating.
Well. Looks like the idiot buffoons that have never been in a ring know better than Hatton. Khan will put up a great fight and all. Icing fans should be excited at the possibility.

What is Jatly?
Jatly – as used by IT For Schools, is a tidy little app that delivers messages, coupons, and alerts from your local area.
- What if a parent of a lost child could immediately call on their local community for help the moment that they discover their child is missing?
- What if a coffee shop owner could invite in passing commuters with a 2 for 1 coffee deal or half price breakfast special?
Jatly is kind of a live community bulletin board – in that everyone in your local area gets to read the messages and participate in the conversation.
Is the Jatly phone application free to download?
Yes, the Jatly app is free to download and use.
Where can I download the app from?
The app is available from our home page or from the Google Play store or the App Store. In the play store or app store, just search for Jatly.
I thought I installed the app but now can't find it. What does the icon look like?
If you have installed it, it should show in your installed apps.
Look for the Jatly icon in your list of installed apps.
What smartphones will the app run on?

Is there a FAQ for Businesses?
Yes, click here http://www.jatly.com/for-businesses-faq
How is it used for Fundraising?
The Jatly smartphone app is a community communication tool, where local businesses can advertise. The advertisements are in the form of coupons sent to the phone user. When the user receives a coupon – which usually come through in batches of about 4 at a time, they show up in the phone's notification bar. They then select the notification and the phone will display each coupon in turn about 2 seconds apart. As each coupon is reviewed, the user taps the big accept button to move to the next one, and that tap – earns the school the value that is displayed against the coupon – normally around ten points. So to accept 4 coupons will take you about 10 seconds, and you will earn about 40 points or about 40 cents..
Jatly Fundraiser Overview
When a smartphone user downloads the Jatly app from the Google Play Store or App Store, they select the Community Organisation they would like to benefit from the commission earned.
The Jatly app will send up to 12 coupons per phone per day, usually in batches of about 4 at a time, depending on the number of advertisers targeting their local geographic area. Allowing each phone the chance to earn around $1 a day worth of points, for their nominated Beneficiary.
To earn the points for their chosen beneficiary, the Smartphone user needs to press the Accept button to show they have read the coupon.
This confirmation step is what gives this advertising medium an edge over other advertising methods.

Lonavla is a popular town and a hill station in the Pune district of Maharashtra. This hill-station is located on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and is about 111.5 kms from Mumbai. Lonavla is famous for a popular candy known as 'chikki' and is also a major tourist stop-over between Mumbai and Pune. The lush blanket of green surrounding this hill-station springs to life during the Monsoon season. Many popular Bollywood films have used the picturesque backdrop of Lonavla which is blessed with waterfalls, lakes and greenery. The name 'Lonavla' is derived from 'Len' and 'Avali' that roughly translates to 'the resting place of stones'. This scenic hill station was initially a part of the Yadava dynasty. Later, the Mughals used this beautiful hill-station as a strategic location against their rivals. In 1871, Lonavla and the sister hill-station, Khandala, were discovered by Lord Elphinstone. Nearby attractions are Lohgarh fort, Lion Point, Tiger Point and the Duke's Nose. With a population of 60,000 souls, Lonavla is must-visit hill station on the way between Mumbai and Pune.
Places To See
When in Lonavla, there are a variety of places a tourist should visit. Apart from the breathtaking views of the lush-green trees and shrubs, the hills, the waterfalls and the Lonavla Chikki, there is a lot more to see at this mystifying hill station. Tourists can visit Khandala as well, which is a neighboring hill-station. The Karla, Bhaja and Bhedsa caves are a must-visit for those wanting to soak in medieval splendor. There are a few hill station points that offer a tremendous view, some of them being Rajmachi Point, Tiger Point, Lion Point, Duke's Nose and Shooting Point. The Wax Museum is located 3 km from the railway station is a fairly new attraction for tourists. The Tungarli Lake and dam are also worth visiting, especially, during the monsoon season. For those seeking history-based adventures, the Lohgarh Fort offers a palatial view of the battle-station of Chhatrapati Shivaji.
Shopping in Lonavla is all about purchasing the local and the most famous sweetmeat-the Lonavla 'Chikki'. The different kinds of chikkis are available in a variety of flavors and no tourist should leave the hill station without buying a bag full of them! A few places where chikkis can be purchased are 'Maganlals', 'A1', and 'Coopers'.
Eating Out
There are many mouthwatering restaurants available aplenty in Lonavla. Gujarati food is extremely popular at this hill station and should not be missed. Tourists should try the local 'vada pao', Masala Chai and roasted corn served by local hawkers all around the town. For those wanting to eat south Indian food, 'Kamat's' is a popular restaurant in Lonavla that serves lip-smacking delicacies.

Quinoa-Stuffed Poblano Peppers
by Amie Valpone in Thanksgiving, November 21, 2012
Meet the tastiest, most nutritious Thanksgiving appetizer around. This easy dish comes together in under an hour and makes delicious use of beautiful poblano peppers. Poblano peppers are mild chili peppers from Mexico, and their spiciness helps to bring out their taste. If you aren't a fan of spicy foods you can always use bell peppers instead. Flax seeds and veggies offer meaty texture and flavor while quinoa and chickpeas pile on the protein. I added a touch of marjoram for garnish as it adds extra flavor, plus pretty flecks of color. Serve hot out of the oven or bake ahead of time and reheat before your guests arrive. If you have any extra cooked quinoa leftover try my tasty little Quinoa Bites, which make great hors d'oeuvres and are the perfect finger food for kids to munch on.
Quinoa-Stuffed Poblano Peppers
4 large poblano peppers
2 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup quinoa, uncooked
5 button mushrooms, finely chopped
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup salsa
¼ cup Barlean's ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh marjoram
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rub peppers with olive oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Roast until slightly blackened and softened, 15 to 20 minutes, turning once.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook quinoa according to package.
Remove peppers from oven; set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Discard pepper skins; slice a small hole in each pepper to remove seeds.
While peppers cool, spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add mushrooms, corn, chickpeas, sea salt and pepper; cook for 3-4 minutes or until fully heated through. Add in cooked quinoa.
Prepare a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Stuff each pepper with quinoa filling and place in the prepared baking dish. Cover with salsa, flax seeds and fresh marjoram. Return to the oven and bake until golden brown, approximately 20 more minutes.
Remove from oven; set aside to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

"Extremely useful program"
Version: DiffEngineX 2.20
Program allows you to rapidly compare large volumes of data in two spreadsheets. We have found dozens of uses for the program.
Learning curve is a bit steep if you are not reasonably comfortable with Excel. Color coding is difficult to understand.
One of the most useful programs I have ever used. Does one thing and does it very well. I have used this program on a daily basis to compare enormous spreadsheets containing hundreds of thousands of lines and nothing makes it easier to identify duplicates and/or unique lines. You will find uses you never dreamed of.

Director Gilles Paquet-Brenner's Sarah's Key, or "Elle s'appelait Sarah", is an upcoming movie about a journalist living in Paris who is working on a story about the Holocaust. She quickly learns that the story is connected to the story of her family. Little by little the story coalesces and moves quickly along and soon the viewer will be halted in their tracks by the events of the film. This is one case where the movie may be better than the book.
In fact, Tatiana de Rosney's best-selling book is the basis of "Sarah's Key". It has been seamlessly adapted for the film by Serge Joncour and Paquet-Brenner. The film was acquired last week by the Weinstein Co. after its debut in Toronto. The new movie release will do especially well in Europe. It's about the darkest part of modern French history.
The story is told in two different times: Kristin Scott Thomas is journalist Julia Jarmond, an American woman living and working in Paris, and writing a story about 1942 and the French deportations of Jewish families. Melusine Mayance plays 10 year old Sarah who is a member of one of the families in 1942 who is deported to the camps.
Frederic Pierrot plays Julia's husband, Bertrant Tezac, an arrogant man, who is busy fixing up their apartment for himself, his wife, and their eleven year old daughter. While working on her article, Julia finds out that it's Bertrand's family that acquired the apartment when the Jewish family that had lived there was deported to the camps.
In the 1942 story, Sarah hides her four year old brother in the closet in the bedroom just as the police arrive to take the family away. When taken by the police, Sarah promises to return and get her brother but is taken away to a camp and, desperately wanting to save her brother, escapes.
This box office movie moves between two worlds: Julia's 21st century world and Sarah's world of 1942. Julia becomes obsessed with finding out what the outcome of Julia's and her family's situation was. What she discovers changes the way she sees her own family and her roles as wife and mother. Her discoveries make her take stock of her own situation and make her think about her future.
As Julia learns more about Sarah's family she learns more about some awful truths about France's past.
Certain members of the movies cast are magnificent: from Mayance as the young Sarah to Niels Arestrup, who plays a grouchy farmer to a French policeman who is kind to young Sarah.
Kristin Scott-Thomas is as fine in her role as Julia as Melusine Mayance is in her role as Sarah.
Aidan Quinn, George Birt, and Charlotte Poutrel are also memorable in the roles that they play.
"Sophie's Choice" is perhaps the movie that is most like "Sarah's Key". It, too, is about the haunting of people long after WWII by ghosts of the Holocaust.
Francoise Dupertuis' production design and costumes by Eric Perron are wonderful for both of the times in history that they represent. Editing by Herve Schneid is excellent.
Sarah's Key is a poignant memoir of a not so long ago time that still has repercussions on family's of today. Go see it.
