Marchesa’s little, bauble-covered evening bags are always perfectly fit for brides, princesses and those living in literal fairy tales, and that’s what makes them so great. If you want a fantastical, feminine, fabulous little bag, there’s few options that will serve you as well as these clutches will. This season’s collection also includes some more demure options in bright exotics, but we think that you should go ahead and get your full Cinderella on with the options below.Maria Shriver, her daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger and a PUPPY were recently spotted shopping at Cross Creek in LA. Maria was carrying a gorgeous, red Hermes Crocodile Birkin. From the lovely, slightly slouchy look of the leather, it appears as though she carries it regularly and has for some time. Croc Birkins cost well into the five figures, and the price varies greatly depending on the size.
STORY WRITTEN FOR & USED WITH PERMISSIONPosted: May 5, 2010NASA managers Wednesday cleared the shuttle Atlantis for launch May 14 on its 32nd and final planned flight, a three-spacewalk mission to the International Space Station. The primary goals of the flight are to replace aging solar array batteries, install a backup Ku-band antenna and attach a new Russian module loaded with supplies and equipment. Credit: Justin Ray/Spaceflight Now"We had a very thorough review today, we went through all the things that havehappened on the vehicle, both the shuttle and also the station," said BillGerstenmaier, NASA's chief of space operations. "We're ready to go fly."Launch is targeted for 2:20 p.m. EDT on May 14, roughly the moment when Earth'srotation carries launch complex 39A into the plane of the space station's orbit.NASA's processing team at the Kennedy Space Center has one day of contingency timeleft in the current schedule and can make four launch attempts through May 18. IfAtlantis isn't off the ground by then, the flight likely will slip to late Junebecause of conflicts with other launches and periodic temperature issues related tothe space station's orbit."It was a very smooth flight readiness review," said shuttle Program Manager JohnShannon. "I am amazed at this team because (the shuttle) Discovery did just land 15days ago. We're the beneficiaries of its very trouble-free mission. Atlantis has hada very trouble-free processing flow."But Shannon said NASA managers attending an executive-level flight readiness reviewdid go over two issues related to Discovery's flight.Discovery's Ku-band antenna system failed shortly after launch, limiting data relay,radar operations and live video from the orbiter. After landing, the problem wastraced to a specific transistor and while the same components are in place inAtlantis' Ku-band system, the odds of a similar failure two flights in a row areconsidered remote.Engineers also reviewed work to better secure ceramic inserts, or plugs, that arethreaded into place over bolts used to hold specific heat shield panels, windowframes and other components in place. An insert worked its way loose duringDiscovery's re-entry, posing a potential impact threat.Shannon said the inserts around Atlantis' windows and forward rocket pod were testedand re-installed using a thicker braided cord intended to increase friction and makeit more difficult for a plug to back out."The tone of the meeting was extremely positive," Shannon said of the flightreadiness review. "Nobody mentioned, and it wasn't purposefully avoiding it, butnobody mentioned this was Atlantis' last planned flight. Folks are so focused anddoing their jobs and performing with such pride all the way to the end, it's justnormal business."You might ask, well did you really have to go and replace all the braided cord onall these plugs which have performed pretty well in the past? And the answer is, wethink we'll make it better and because it'll make it better, we're going to go doit. That's the kind of attitude this team has. Their such an asset to humanspaceflight and I could not be more proud of them."So we're ready to go next Friday," he said. "It's 15 days since we last landed,nine days until we launch. This is the kind of pace this team thrives on."Launch Director Mike Leinbach said the shuttle's processing was following a standardflow, with no major changes because it's Atlantis' final planned flight."I was just looking at the previous missions of Atlantis and reminiscing a littlebit," he said after the FRR. "Yeah, she's been around a long time and a lot of ushave known that ship for 25 years. So it'll be bittersweet to be sure. She's flown31 times already, 115 million miles ... about a third of her design life."But our mission is coming to an end, so we're coming to grips with that. The teamis very professional. We know it's the last one, probably, but that doesn't affectthe way we process or launch this thing. We're going to do it safely and surely andwe hope we do it next Friday."Assuming an on-time launch, commander Ken Ham will guide Atlantis to a docking withthe space station's forward port around 10:27 a.m. on Sunday, May 16.The next day, the crew will stage the first of three spacewalks to install a spareKu-and antenna dish, six replacement batteries for the station's oldest set of solararrays and an equipment mounting plate for a Canadian robot arm extension.The Atlantis astronauts also plan to install a Russian module on the Earth-facingport of the Zarya module.The 17,400-pound mini-research module, or MRM-1, will be launched loaded with morethan 3,000 pounds of NASA supplies and equipment. MRM-1 will provide betterclearance between visiting Progress and Soyuz spacecraft and a NASA storage modulethat will be attached to the station just in front of Zarya later this year.MRM-1 will be attached to the station on May 18, the day after the crew's firstspacewalk. The next day, a second spacewalk will be staged to begin the batteryreplacement work. A final spacewalk is planned for May 21 to complete the batteryswap outs.If all goes well, Atlantis will undock from the station around 11:20 a.m. on May 23and land back at the Kennedy Space Center around 8:44 a.m. on Wednesday, May 26."This is a very exciting mission," Shannon said. "Twelve days, three EVAs, tons ofrobotics, we're putting on spares that will make us feel good about the long-termsustainability of ISS, we're replacing batteries that have been up there for awhile, docking a Russian-built ISS module. This flight has a little bit ofeverything."NASA managers originally planned to launch the shuttle Endeavour July 29 on amission to deliver a $1.5 billion physics experiment to the station and to close outthe shuttle program with a final flight by the shuttle Discovery on Sept. 16.But the powerful magnet at the heart of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer slated forlaunch aboard Endeavour is being replaced and NASA does not expect to launchEndeavour before late November at the earliest. If the shuttle misses a short launchwindow, the flight could slip to late February.Whenever Endeavour takes off, Atlantis will be on standby for a rescue mission incase of any major problem that might prevent Endeavour's crew from safely returningto Earth.Because an external tank and boosters will be available for the so-called"launch-on-need" mission, NASA managers have held open the possibility of launchingAtlantis and a reduced crew of four on a final mission to the station next summer todeliver additional supplies and equipment.A four-person crew could, in theory, rely on Russian Soyuz ferry craft to eventuallymake it home in an emergency. Whether NASA can pay for an additional mission, or winthe political support that would be necessary, remains to be seen. But Gerstenmaiersaid Wednesday a decision one way or the other was needed by the end of June.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:STS-132 MISSION PREVIEW MOVIE VIDEO:FULL FLIGHT READINESS REVIEW NEWS BRIEFING VIDEO:RECAP OF THE FLIGHT READINESS REVIEW VIDEO:MANAGERS ASSESS ISSUES BEFORE FLIGHT VIDEO:UPDATE ON PRE-LAUNCH PREPS AT PAD 39A VIDEOROGRAM BRIEFING BY SHUTTLE AND STATION CHIEFS VIDEO:THE STS-132 MISSION OVERVIEW PRESENTATIONS VIDEOREVIEW BRIEFING ON MISSION'S SPACEWALKS VIDEO:THE ASTRONAUTS' PRE-FLIGHT NEWS BRIEFING VIDEO:SHUTTLE EVACUATION PRACTICE VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS BOARD ATLANTIS VIDEO:LAUNCH DAY REHEARSAL BEGINS VIDEO:CREW BRIEFED ON EMERGENCY PROCEDURES VIDEO:TEST-DRIVING AN EMERGENCY ARMORED TANK VIDEO:CREW'S CHAT WITH REPORTERS AT PAD 39A VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS AT KENNEDY SPACE CENTER RUNWAY VIDEO:CREW ARRIVES FOR PRACTICE COUNTDOWN VIDEO:GANTRY PLACED AROUND ATLANTIS VIDEO:SHUTTLE ATLANTIS REACHES PAD 39A VIDEO:CROWDS AND THE CREW CHEER ON ATLANTIS VIDEO:OVERNIGHT ROLLOUT TO THE PAD BEGINS VIDEO:SHUTTLE HOISTED FOR ATTACHMENT TO TANK VIDEO:CRANE ROTATES THE ORBITER VERTICALLY VIDEO:ATLANTIS RISES OFF THE TRANSPORTER VIDEO:ORBITER EMERGES FROM ITS HANGAR VIDEO:BUTTONING UP RUDDER/SPEED BRAKE VIDEOOME SHIELDS AROUND MAIN ENGINES VIDEO:EXTERNAL TANK ATTACHED TO BOOSTERS VIDEOAYLOADS HEAD FOR LAUNCH PAD VIDEO:RASSVET PLACED INTO THE TRANSPORTER VIDEOALLET LOADED WITH MISSION'S CARGO VIDEO:RUSSIAN RASSVET MODULE ON DISPLAY VIDEO:RUSSIAN ENGINEERS DISCUSS THEIR RASSVET MODULE VIDEO:RASSVET HATCH CLOSED FOR FLIGHT VIDEO:FILLING MODULE WITH NASA SUPPLIES VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS VISIT THEIR SPACECRAFT VIDEO:CREW INSPECTS RASSVET MODULE STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

India's midday meal scheme is one of the world's biggest school nutrition programs. State governments have the freedom to decide on menus and timings of the meals, depending on local conditions and availability of food rations. It was first introduced in southern India, where it was seen as an incentive for poor parents to send their children to school.
