Our old Swiss Army knife just rusted shut in shame. Behold the Bar10der ($49.99), a new gadget that seems far better suited for the emergencies we actually encounter in our day-to-day existence. Equipped with 10 tools — a muddler, a reamer, a channel knife, a jigger, a zester, a knife, a stirrer, a strainer, a corkscrew, and a bottle opener — it may just be a lifesaver at the end of a long, sober day. Find it at Kendall Square gift go-to Xylem in mid-October.WHERE TO SHOP | Xylem 287 Third St, Cambridge :: 617.494.9953

- Lee Chang-dong's oblique, affecting film
Mija (Yun Jung-hee) is 60ish but still a looker, a quality she's aware of. She dresses elegantly even when she's going about her chores as a cleaning woman — which include bathing Mr. Kang (Kim Hi-ra), the elderly, paralyzed patriarch of the family who've hired her.
