Designing couture for preteen girls gives Sally Miller a unique perspective on fashion. Not only must Miller take into consideration that tweens quickly outgrow their clothing — both literally, and as a matter of taste — but she must also appeal to the preferences of her customers' equally particular parents. Rather than shrink grown-up designer clothing styles down to size, Miller pays closer attention to girls' changing figures. Launched in 2007, her collection includes lace baby-doll dresses, paisley print tops, leggings, and other designs inspired by Miller's own free-spirited daughters. A shirred panel here, a cascade of ruffles there, layers of chiffon: each detail reflects refinement and modernity while remaining age-appropriate.
Unique kids' clothes from Jacadi, Nellystella, and more.
Perfect-for-fall dresses in the prettiest colors and prints
Adorable, special-occasion outfits embellished with pretty embroidered details.
She'll look picture-perfect in the cutest colors, prints, and party-ready frills.

When I used to get sick in America, I would get congested, a sore throat, sometimes a runny nose, and a fever.
In France, whenever I get sick, it bypasses every other organ and heads straight to my stomach.
I don't know if it's the rich foods, the dubious rules of storage, or a new set of germs as foreign to me as the 14 different tenses of French verbs.
But since arriving in France a few years ago, I've been felled by a few serious bouts of la gastro.
Yes, even though some people think I'm too careful about hygiene than I should be (and no, I don't scrape up chocolate off the floor and re-use it either), I suppose it's just a matter of taking chances before all those unrefrigerated dairy products, rosy-pink, barely-singed beef and pork, eating an unusually large amount of raw cookie dough, and touching the petri dish-like metal handrails on the mètro, would eventually catch up with me.
So last week my descent began when I was at le cinema, watching Walk The Line. I started feeling dizzy. Figuring maybe I was sitting too close to the screen, I moved back. I still felt funny in the gut, so I unbuckled my belt (Now I wonder if anyone was looking and thought I was the neighborhood perv.)
By the middle of the movie, I was fighting the urge to race to the bathroom. The movie was so good and I didn't want to miss the last part, where Reese Witherspoon had her hair all teased-up in the front, real pretty and all.
Luckily I made it through, but I got home and was shaky, feverish, and ready to hit the bedroom.
(After a slight detour to another room pronto.)
I may be shallow, but the good thing about stomach flu is that you can eat whatever you want when it's all over. Hell, you've just lost 10 pounds. The whole experience wasn't pretty nor was it easy, was it? So eat up. You've earned it. And those new abs ain't gonna be around forever.
But while you're lying in bed, semi-delirious, mustering all your energy to lift the remote control, all you want is a bowl of nice, hot chicken soup. Unless if you're Jewish. Since at the same time you're imagining that you're certain to be remembered as the first person in France to fall victim to the Avian Flu.
Which certainly presented me with a deathbed dilemma: If the chicken from the market I ate made me sick and will be the end to life on earth it as we know it, how does one justify eating hot chicken soup as a cure? Is it like making anti-venom for snakebites out of the venom of the deadly snakes? Is it another of the great Jewish dilemmas?
(The other dilemma is bacon at half-price.)
So I got into bed with my laptop, the modern equivalent of the teddy bear, armed with the remote control, to watch the Olympics. A bit too much gyrating, sequins, and glitter…would I later suffer from Post-Glitter Disorder, like Mariah Carey, I imagined? All those twirling, glittery dudes gliding across the rink. (Is there anyone in the universe, outside the skating world, or a few Eastern European countries, that finds those men's outfits even remotely attractive or flattering? And why do the men have more glitter than the woman? And since I'm asking questions, can someone should ask those men who speed skate to slow down a bit as a courtesy to viewers trying to get a closer look?)
The beauty of France is that if you need any medication, there's at least one (usually more) pharmacie on your block and they're ready to send you home armed with as many as you can carry. And the doctors here still make house calls. Gladly, I might add.
The bad thing is if you need something simple like a battery for your thermometer, you need to mètro across Paris to the special shop that sells batteries for thermometers. When you get there, they're invariably closed that particular afternoon. They're open from 9:45am to 11:15am, Monday through Tuesday, and from 2:45pm to 4:15pm on Wednesday.
Except in February, when they're open on Thursday, instead of Wednesday.
But only from 2:45pm to 3:45pm.
Unless the people who sell batteries for thermometers are on strike.
In my stupor, I wondered if the few 'comfort foods' (a word I hate, but it's appropriate here, I think) that I depend on in these rare hours-of-need are available here. If I manage to drag myself to the supermarket, will I find Canada Dry Ginger Ale? (yes) or Campbell's Chunky Chicken Soup? (no).
(I did have one dream-like vision over and over, in my delirious haze. It was the Most Fabulous-Looking Chicken Soup Ever. I swear I had a dream about that soup. Would they send me some? Could I call Germany? How many numbers do I need to dial? Will they think I'm insane? How far is Munich? Do they deliver? Did they really somehow manage to link Bob Ross with food?)
But unless I had some chicken stock in the deep- freeze, chicken soup wasn't gonna happen chez David. The idea of being vertical for longer than 10 seconds was impossible to imagine, let alone buying and eviscerating a chicken, then simmering and straining the stock. And yes, I know all you Americans sitting there all smug with your freezers are loaded up with chicken stock. I hope it's all freezer-burned next time you need it. Ha! That'll teach you to be prepared when I'm not.
Ok, that doesn't make any sense and was kinda mean. I'm still delirious, so at least I have an excuse. (But did you see what Mariah Carey wore at the Grammy Awards? What's her excuse? Is she the only person in the world who can wear couture and make it look like she's getting ready for a gynecological exam?)
The first thing you do when you're better is go to the refrigerator and toss out anything that you ate within the last few hours, before you first got sick. Even if it wasn't the culprit, out it goes. I was more than happy to toss the rest of the leftover rotisserie chicken, or as CNN would have politely said, "He culled his roast chicken."
Most Americans who move to France wonder, "Where can I get canned chicken stock?" For some, canned chicken stock is the magic ingredient in the pantry, able to turn a plate of rice into risotto, or pilaf with the turn of a Swing-A-Way™. Last minute batch of jook? No problem.
When I moved to France and couldn't find it, that surprised me. The land of great cuisine, and no ready-to-pop stock. So I began making my own. And what did I learn? Homemade chicken stock makes everything taste so much better. And from then on, I vowed I would never use the canned stuff again.
Which admittedly is easy to brag about, since I don't exactly have a choice in the matter.
So on the mend, I trekked out to one of my new favorite food shops, where I bought the chocolate bars with quinoa a few weeks ago, called Markethic. They have lots of unusual things from all over the world, mostly organic, and I seem to always find something to bring home, from tamarind pâte de fruit to fragrant shards of brilliant-red mace.
Then I saw them up.
I swore I would never do it. But I picked them up.
The culinary version of going to the 'dark side'…
My only experience with dried soup was years and years ago, and it was so salty and tasted like stale spices that I couldn't imagine using one again. It felt like taking a deer at a salt-lick. It was about the time when we were fixated by all-things-Knorr™, blending the dried-vegetable soup mix with sour cream, thinking how sophisticated we were for graduating upward from Lipton Onion Soup™ Dip. But in my case, with my head facing bowlward most of the weekend, I fondled the tight little box as something to have on hand in case I needed a quick, emergency broth-fix.
But after I got home and opened it up, I sadly looked at the pathetic, dry little square, and tossed it in the back of a drawer where I would most likely never see it again…
…and entered the Munich telephone code into my speed dial.

Pyramids (Mass Market Paperback)
Unlike most teenaged boys, Teppic isn't chasing girls and working at the mall. Instead he's just inherited the throne of the desert kingdom Djelibeybi--a job that's come a bit earlier than he expected (a turn of fate his recently departed father wasn't too happy about either).
It's bad enough being new on the job, but Teppic hasn't a clue as to what a pharaoh is supposed to do. After all, he's been trained at Ankh-Morpork's famed assassins' school, across the sea from the Kingdom of the Sun. First, there's the monumental task of building a suitable resting place for Dad--a pyramid to end all pyramids. Then there are the myriad administrative duties, such as dealing with mad priests, sacred crocodiles, and marching mummies. And to top it all off, the adolescent pharaoh discovers deceit and betrayal--not to mention a headstrong handmaiden--at the heart of his realm.

KINGS MOUNTAIN — Participants for this weekend's Kings Mountain Gateway Trail 5K/10K were met by an unexpected sight.
Snow was falling Saturday morning during the race.
"We certainly weren't expecting snow," said Shirley Brutko, director of the Kings Mountain Chamber of Commerce office. "We are calling this our snow run."
Saturday's run was the fourth to help raise money for the trail. About 100 runners participated this year, Brutko said.
"Since next year is our fifth year, we are hoping to make it a big event," Brutko said. "The money is raised to help maintain the trails."
This year's race was divided into a 10K run and a 5K run, with different routes for each distance.
The Kings Mountain Gateway Trail is part of the Carolina Thread Trials, a regional network of recreation trails.
"We have received about $300,000 worth of grants from the Carolina Thread Trails," she said. "That money can only go towards trail construction."
The Gateway Trail is still under construction.
For information on the trail and next year's run, visit the Kings Mountain Gateway Trail Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kmgatewaytrail.

Rebels lock Luke Jones has been cited for foul play during Friday's match against the Bulls.
Jones lifted Bulls wing Bjorn Basson and continued with that tackle so that Basson's neck and shoulder region contacted the ground while his legs were still in the air.
This contravenes Law 10.4 (j) lifting a player from the ground and either dropping or driving that player's head and/or upper body into the ground whilst the player's feet are off the ground.
Referee Andrew Lees issued a yellow and white card on the field after consultation with his assistant. Upon further review of the match footage the citing commissioner deemed the incident had met the red card threshold for foul play.
The citing is to be considered in the first instance by Sanzar Duty Judicial Officer Mike Heron.

St. Petersburg, Florida
St. Petersburg (often shortened to St. Pete) is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The city is known as a vacation destination for North American and European vacationers.
With a purported average of some 360 days of sunshine each year, it is nicknamed "The Sunshine City." For that reason, the city is a popular tourist and retirement destination, especially for those in the United States from colder Northern climates ? particularly New York City, Detroit, and Chicago. However, in recent years the population has shifted in a more youthful direction.

His one-man confessional and acoustic show comes to the Observatory on April 5. Photo: Zayra Alvarez
Justin Furstenfeld has always been open to sharing his deepest, darkest, at times even suicidal thoughts. It's something he's done for nearly two decades through his songwriting and as mouthpiece for Houston rock band Blue October.
But several years ago he began compiling handwritten notes and lyric sheets with scribbled thoughts, as well as photos from the band's tours and studio sessions, with an eye toward publishing a book.
In 2009 he released the first edition of "Crazy Making," a hardcover treat for Blue October loyalists who have followed the quartet since its inception in 1995 and through a handful of albums, including its 1998 debut The Answers and 2006's Foiled, sporting one of the band's biggest singles, "Hate Me." Later in '09, however, Furstenfeld suffered an intense bout of anxiety and sought professional help, forcing the band to cancel remaining performances supporting its then-new album Approaching Normal.
Most of those gigs were rescheduled for 2010, but things didn't get much better for the vocalist. His downward spiral continued as he endured a divorce, lost custody of his daughter Blue and battled substance addiction.
After coming to the realization that he was a depressed, angry tyrant during the recording of 2011's Any Man in America, Furstenfeld decided to add to his book as fans poured in questions about what inspired certain songs. Those added chapters served as both explanation and apology to everyone the singer-songwriter had worked with on that particular album.
"Now I'm in a much better place in my life," the 37-year-old insists during a recent phone interview. He's in the studio working on a seventh Blue October disc and preparing to head out on a 24-date solo acoustic tour, which kicks off Thursday at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles and arrives Friday at the Observatory in Santa Ana.
Furstenfeld will read from and discuss sections of "Crazy Making," the expanded version of which arrived Monday. He also will indulge a Q&A segment and perform some unheard songs as well as stripped-down versions of fan favorites.
"I've always been so brutally honest with people," he says. "I went back and looked at some of these songs, and the notes that I had made on them at the time and what's in the book is what I had originally written. I left it all in. As pathetically depressing as I was back then, or as dangerously scared as I was at the times when I wrote certain songs, I didn't change a thing.
"I can look back now and go 'Man, I'm happy that I've surrounded myself with the people I'm around now and I got the hell out of that spot in my life.' During Any Man in America it got really dark, and now that I read back over it I have asked myself: 'Is that me? Did I let everything control me that much and sink me that low?' I realize now that I had to go through all of that to get to where I am now and get over it. That's depression."
Furstenfeld hates the word "fan" – he feels his followers have become so much more. His lyrics have provoked an overwhelming amount of personal messages from like-minded individuals battling similar demons. The singer admits he leaned too heavily on their support in the past, though. He now realizes it was never their responsibility.
"I let all of these things – the divorce, the custody battle, the court system – I let it run my life for three years straight. While making Any Man in America I was in hell. I was going to court and trying to see my daughter, and then the album was out and we were touring, and I thought all of these people were relating but no one was helping me. They weren't supposed to. It doesn't work that way.
"As much as I would love to have things be different, the more I tried to change things the more I went crazy. Now I just try to be a great father and a great person. I'm glad I have my wife now (Sarah) who got my (stuff) in shape."
They've also welcomed a daughter, Sayde Bell, now 6 months old. But he's still unable to spend as much time as he would prefer with his eldest child.

Unions relish Obama victory but temper expectations for second term
Wednesday - 11/7/2012, 9:03pm EST
Federal-employee unions have hailed the re-election of President Barack Obama over Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
But despite the excitement, union leaders are tempering their expectations for a second term.
Part of that sentiment reflects the mixed bag of accomplishments and setbacks of Obama's first term: While unions sensed an ally in Obama, he ended up supporting a two-year freeze on federal-employee pay.
Still, unions are relishing the victory.
J. David Cox, the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, described his mood as "cloud nine and a little higher," in an interview on Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
"President Obama certainly understands the role of unions in our country and how you have sound labor-management relationships," Cox said. He contrasted the President with Romney, who had expressed skepticism of unions and large government during the campaign.
Colleen Kelley, the president of the National Treasury Employees Union, told In Depth with Francis Rose Obama's re-election was good news for federal employees "who got a chance to have their voices heard about who would be making the decisions about them and their working lives in the next four years."
Budget issues still threaten
But lingering issues, such as how to reduce the federal budget deficit and the looming "fiscal cliff", will continue to hang over Congress and federal agencies.
Kelley said she's looking to the lame-duck Congress to come up with an alternative to the across-the-board budget cuts, known as sequestration, that are set to go into effect in January.
Sequestration is of particular importance to federal employees because one of the alternatives bandied about the House would have raised feds' retirement contributions.
"NTEU's interest is in the sequestration issue being settled but not on the backs of federal employees," she said.
Cox said he is opposed to including federal-employee pay and benefits on the table in further deficit-reduction negotiations.
"Do not ask them to make a larger contribution to their retirement fund, which is already fully funded," he said. Asking employees to pay more into retirement would be "nothing but a pay cut," he added.
But it's not just federal workers' pay and benefits that are on the line in the deficit-reduction talks, Kelley said, citing the fear of dwindling agency budgets.
"Most of the agencies are having trouble being able to deliver on the critical missions for their agencies," she said. For example, the IRS, which her union represents, received millions less in funding than it requested last fiscal year, Kelley said, constraining its ability to collect the revenue that supports many of the federal government's operations.
Unions want to play expanded role
Both Kelley and Cox said they wanted to play expanded roles in resolving the budget crunch and other fed-specific issues.
In particular, NTEU wants a seat at the table if hard decisions have to be made regarding agency funding, Kelley said.
"I would expect that NTEU would be part of those conversations — that we wouldn't be told about the conclusion after the fact, that they would want our input," she said.
The engagement with unions could come through the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations, a conglomeration of union leaders and agency managers that began under the Clinton administration but was disbanded under President George W. Bush. Obama revived the council in 2009.
"I like the era of partnership that we had in the Clinton administration," Cox said. "And I would certainly welcome those type of opportunities again for the unions and management to work collectively to improve the services to the American public ... I think the message is out there clearly."
Kelley said she doesn't expect major changes in the way the boards operate. "But I believe we will stay on track to continue to enhance those conversations and to have them be more substantive than they are today."
Feds should expect minor tweaks in Obama's 2nd term
Who will stay and who will go in Obama's second term?
Will election results mean more gridlock on budget, sequestration?

During the winter of 2009/2010, Whistler Blackcomb realized a five-decade-long dream of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Olympics.
|The 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games was Whistler Blackcomb's chance to make Canada proud. Though years of hard work went into the planning of a well-executed Games, there could be no accounting for the incredible energy, enthusiasm and pride that spontaneously erupted from everyone who experienced them.
Whistler Blackcomb played host to the world's best athletes and a global contingent of volunteers, and this diversity provided the memories that we will carry with us forever as souvenirs.
With the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games a resounding success, Whistler Blackcomb invites the world to experience the legacies and magic of the Games.
A new addition this season is the Roundhouse Lodge Olympic Legacy Display, showcasing the achievements of local athletes and Games-time highlights. The display includes athlete stories, photos, Didier Defago's gold medal winning Rossignol skis and a wood carved replica of the medals podium for your own Olympic photo opportunities.
The ski area was, in fact, born for the Games. Inspired by a trip to the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics, Franz Wilhelmsen formed Garibaldi Lift Limited, which lead to the launch of Whistler Mountain in 1966. The rest, they say, is history.
In the early 1960's Garibaldi Olympic Development Association searched the Coast Mountain Range for the ideal spot to host the Olympic Games. London Mountain was eventually chosen and renamed Whistler Mountain.
Three unsuccessful bids were made in an attempt to secure the games between 1962 and 1973. In 1974 the B.C. government backed the town initiative and helped Whistler develop the proper infrastructure to make the dream a reality.
Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains merged in 1997, and on July 2, 2003 the International Olympic Committee announced that Whistler/Vancouver and would host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
As the follow up to the Olympic Games, Canada's first ever Paralympic Winter Games became not just about athletic achievement, but about perseverance and overcoming great odds in the pursuit of personal goals.
Gifted athletes from all disciplines inspired the world with their determination, commitment and courageous performances.
The Paralympic Alpine events hosted on Whistler Mountain served to redefine the perceptions of "disabilities" for all of those who watched and marveled at the grit, determination and skill demonstrated by the athletes during the eight day celebration.
While the Games were undoubtably about sport, there was no need to attend an event to feel the Olympic energy. Giant television screens in Whistler Village broadcast live events, highlights and special features, pub and restaurant patios were packed with Games enthusiasts, Whistler's walkways were alive with revelers boasting flags, national colours, costumes and cowbells. The result was an unmistakable spirit of unity and celebration that only the Olympic Games can create.
The bright red, maple leaf-emblazened mittens created specifically for the Games became one of its most enduring icons. While they were intended to represent the patriotic, playful and resilient nature of Canadians, they ended up as the "must have" fun and functional memento of the 2010 Games.
Whistler is an outdoor playground, so it's no wonder that Whistler Blackcomb is a hotbed for young athletes who aspire to one day be on top of the podium. And there are a number who've done just that.
Athletes can take advantage of one of North American's longest ski and snowboard seasons, world-class facilities and unrivaled training camps.
USA half-pipe gold medalist and all-round snowboarding rock star Shaun White, cut his teeth on Blackcomb's Horstman Glacier with the Camp of Champions summer program.
Freestyle skier Alex Bilodeau, who won Canada's first ever gold medal on home soil, has been involved in the Momentum Ski Camps for many years and has recently returned as a coach to pay it forward.
There are a total of 13 Olympic and 5 Paralympic ski and snowboard athletes from the Sea to Sky Corridor who competed in the 2010 Winter Games. They are:
As an athlete with an inspiring confidence and a drive to accomplish whatever goal she sets for herself Ashleigh McIvor was favoured going into the 2010 Games. The Whistler born-and-raised racer didn't disappoint, as she took home the first ever women's Skiercross gold medal and inspired a nation of young people and brought world-wide attention to the relatively new sport.
Squamish snowboarder Maelle Ricker dreamt of winning an Olympic gold medal long before her sport was named an Olympic event. The Vancouver-born athlete placed fourth in the 2006 Turin Games after a crash left her hospitalized with a minor concussion. Ricker's win in Snowboard Cross in 2010 made her the first Canadian female athlete to win a gold medal on home soil, citing her near miss in Turin as the main source of her motivation.
Born in Vancouver and currently residing in Squamish, Matthew Hallat is the Sea-to-Sky Corridor's only downhill Paralympian. His leg was amputated as a result of cancer when he was five years old, and he began ski racing seven years later. He competed in the 2006 Paralympics Winter Games and has since become a five-time Canadian National Slalom Champion and Top 10 competitor on the World Cup circuit. Hallat placed 11th in the Men's Standing Downhill and 17th in the Men's Standing Slalom at the 2010 Paralympic Games.
The visually impaired Vivian Forest is a legally blind Paralympian champion with only 4% vision. Forest's guide, Lindsay Debou, was born in North Vancouver and raised in the Whistler Mountain Ski Club. Together, they are Canada's strongest ski racing duo. Forest and Debou navigate gates at speeds of up to 120 km/h via two-way radio communication. At the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, Forest and Debou stood on the podium at every event they entered, winning a total of one gold, three silver and one bronze medal.
Whistler's unique environment and status as Canada's most celebrated mountain resort made for an ideal backdrop to the Winter Games' alpine events.
The famed Dave Murray Downhill hosted the men's ski events on the same challenging and steep course that local legend Rob Boyd won World Cup Downhill gold on in 1988.
Wild Card and Lower Franz's provided the venue for the women's events, and proved to be a test of the athletes' abilities with its variable and challenging terrain.
The Dave Murray Downhill is named after Dave Murray, one of the original "Crazy Canucks," and one of the most popular ski personalities Canada has ever produced.
After retiring from the Canadian Ski Team in 1982, he joined Whistler Mountain as Director of Skiing and created a series of events and programs targeting mature skiers. The legendary Dave Murray Camps continue to be offered at Whistler Blackcomb to this day. Dave passed away in 1989, after a valiant fight against cancer. The run was named in his honour in 1990.
The steepest section on the men's course is 58 per cent on the Fallaway pitch. The approximate range of pitch on the Dave Murray Downhill is from 29 per cent to 58 per cent.
This original trail was basically a narrow creek bed for the first 13 years. The run was first blasted and made wider in 1978, again in 1983 and again in 1995 (all for ski racing).
In the late 90's the marketing people changed the names on the official Downhill course map but the old names stuck and the new ones disappeared.
The "Toilet Bowl" is near the start of the course and is where there is an abrupt roll-over onto a steep pitch. Since this was originally the main route back to Olympic Station, during the end-of-day ski out there were comparisons made to the "flushing out" action of a toilet as there were so many people in such a narrow corridor. This also led to the naming of the "Sewer" as the place that all this flushing delivered these folks.
"The Weasel" is a steep pitch at the equivalent elevation as the top of the Creekside Gondola (mid-station). Whistler Weasel Workers got their name from the job of boot-packing the Weasel section of the course. "Afterburner" is a steep ledge that crosses Lower Insanity to Coaches Corner. "Coach's Corner" is just past the halfway mark and has been widened in preparation for 2010 Winter Games athletes. "Boyd's Bump" is a short section just before "Murr's Jump" or "Hot Air." "Murr's Jump" is also known as "Hot Air" and is the last technical section of the course before the finish line.
Whistler Blackcomb was founded with the dream of hosting the Olympics, and that same spirit of friendly athletic competition has carried the ski area through to the 2010 Winter Games and beyond.
Just because the Games are over, doesn't mean the action stops. Here are ski and snowboard competitions that continue to help foster the spirit of the Games at Whistler Blackcomb:
The Peak to Valley Race is the longest running team race in the Sea to Sky area and has been running since 1984. An average of 320 racers compete on 80 teams consisting of four racers. Teams are then categorized according to their cumulative age. The race takes place over two days; two team members race on the first day and two on the second.
The course, which consists of 180 gates, begins at the top of Whistler Mountain on a run called The Saddle and ends at Creekside Base. Full Details »
The Kokanee Valley Race Series is held once per week throughout the peak winter season. The series is open to skiers, telemarkers and snowboarders with different gender and age divisions. No racing experience is required to join in on the fun of recreational racing. All you need is the desire to participate and we'll look after the rest. Full Details »
Snowcross events in both the skiing and snowboarding disciplines were in the spotlight during the 2010 Winter Games. Whistler Blackcomb has been fostering the sport for many years in its Nintendo Terrain Park through these two-day Snowcross competitions, which run at select periods throughout the winter.
Events are recreational competitions open to all ages. Amateur skiers and boarders will compete in different divisions on the Nintendo Terrain Park Snowcross course. Full Details »
The King of the Rail is a series of rail jam contests which run on selected nights at the Base of Blackcomb next to the Magic Chair. There are a variety of categories: Snowboarders and Skiers, Male and Female and Adult and Youth.
Category winners receive a percentage of the cash entry fees as a prize and all participants are entered in to win draw prizes from Whistler Blackcomb sponsors. Full Details »
Park Rider Sessions feature Slopestyle, Rail Jams and Halfpipe events, take place on both mountains utilizing the best terrain available. Competitions open to skiers and snowboarders, all ages welcome. Full Details »
This Snowboard specific event, sponsored by Whistler Blackcomb's Showcase Snowboard Surf and Skate shop, has been running since 1997. Taking place in early spring, it has been through several incarnations over the years, focusing on a variety of disciplines, including halfpipe and slopestyle.
Showcase, which celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 2010, was Canada's first and largest Burton supplier. Full Details »
Every April, Whistler hosts the World Ski & Snowboard Festival (WSSF), one of the largest snow sports, music and entertainment festivals in the world. For 10 days, pro skiers and snowboarders impress with their biggest bags of tricks at world renowned competitions, free concerts rock the village, film and fine art events dazzle crowds, and parties pump up the beats. With annual attendance of over 250,000 visitors, the WSSF is the perfect time to discover the latest trends in snowsports, lifestyle and music.
The Grenade Games, a snowboard-specific event - have recently been incorporated into WSSF, bringing the festival back to its grassroots core.
The festival also a great chance for halfpipe skiers to showcase their skills as part of the World Skiing Invitational tour. Thus far, halfpipe skiing hasn't been added to the Olympic event roster, however, with pressure from organizations like the Canadian Halfpipe Ski team, it is in consideration for Sochi 2014.
The recent addition of Whistler Blackcomb's 22-foot Olympic-sized halfpipe continues to elevate the competition to new heights. Full Details »

MARK KEOHANE writes South Africa's lack of leadership in the forwards was exposed in Mendoza, as was the naivety of a pack that is unfortunately a shadow of the beasts who have worn the jersey in the past five years.
Individuals will get blamed and given the South African way it will be provincial specific, but this is not a performance of individual blame but of collective calamity in that the newbies to Test rugby were not equipped to deal with an Argentinean side that scrapped, clawed and fought for a historic first draw against the Springboks.
The lack of a specialist opensider was obvious in that there was no counter to the Pumas love for a group gathering around the ball on the floor. Heyneke Meyer said any player can fail once but there isn't place for a second failure at Test level. His words will be put to the test because certain players are not up to Test standard and when the occasion called for heroes to emerge all we got were imposters in a green jersey.
Perspective is necessary to appreciate the vulnerability of the Bok pack, in terms of experience, impact and influence. Bismarck du Plessis is colossal and Adriaan Strauss will need grander efforts to offer an impersonation. Andries Bekker, forever the next Victor Matfield, has neither the confidence nor the brilliance to match the Bok legend, Jacques Potgieter is no Schalk Burger, Willem Alberts looked out of sorts in that selected loose-trio and for the days of a back five of Bakkies Botha, Matfield, Burger, Smith and Danie Rossouw.
There was no calmness in a frenetic opening 30 in which the Pumas were going to deliver the passion of a nation's rugby history, given the occasion. The limitations of the Pumas meant they could only lead by 10 points at half-time despite the majority of the ball, the rub of the green and the home ground advantage.
The Boks did not deserve anything from this match, but they got plenty when it comes to a reality check. I will never understand the nonsense about not selecting foreign based players because they are not playing Super Rugby or in a development Currie Cup competition.
This match cried out for the experience of a Botha, a Joe van Niekerk and a few more who on a weekly basis star in Europe.
The pack were intimidated, they were out of their depth and they were bullied. It was embarrassing.
Still the Boks should have sneaked it when Morne Steyn missed a penalty with a few minutes to go. It was England in Port Elizabeth all over again and Steyn obviously will be the target of abuse. His job is to kick goals and when he doesn't he stands to be judged.
Young players will be wiser and tougher for the experience but I don't buy an argument that suggests you go to Argentina for a learning experience. Too many kids were grouped with too many provincial players in the guise of a Bok Test pack – and the results were a humiliation.
Meyer picked the side and he takes the pains, as he does the plaudits when it goes right.
The backs can only ever threaten when the Bok forwards rule and the lack of potency made for an ugly 80 minute viewing experience. Too lateral, too isolated and with no momentum. These backs were not going to find any glory in Mendoza.
Frans Steyn, individually, was strong but he was the exception to a performance that is a reminder of the quality of Springboks that went to the World Cup compared to the mediocrity of what was produced in Argentina.
The hosts have beaten Australia previously, beaten France and in recent years been a minute away from beating the All Blacks. The shorter and narrower pitch did not help, but it did expose a team that failed to adapt to the intensity and mongrel of the hosts.
It was a humbling experience for those of us who watched, but it will forever be a humiliating one for those who played. Not so the boys from Argentina.

i'm a huge fan of annick goutal, my first fragrance being eau d'hadrien, which is my day time fragrance, i first fell in love with mandragore, but unfortunately the scent didn't last on me, when annick brought out the mandragore pourpre i found it was an improvement on something i already loved, with small subtle changes which made the scent slightly stronger and lasts so much longer on me. I buy the mens bottle for two reasons, one the scent is unisex and identical only packaging is different, but the price is much cheaper for the mens as the bottle is less elaborate ( not a problem for me as the mens bottle is still beautiful on my dresser) secondly my teenage son also fell in love with this scent and we share even though theirs a 20 year age gap... not only have i had compliments from this wonderful very unique scent but my son's friends all love it and keep asking for some on when ever they visit... this is an unfortunate draw back as it means my bottle goes down so much quicker!... its not the scent for everyone as clearly indicated by the other review on here. I can only say.. go into a store and try it... as you know every scent smells different on each individual... if you love it as i do then don't pay the store price... come back here.... i've made repeat purchases from here and have always been satisfied with the service... if you like a gentle spicy oriental scent with fresh top notes this might be the one you missed... i just LOVE it..... next to eau d'hadrien its my favourite.

I don't even know how to describe this fragrance; rotting lilies and bug spray? It's appalling. I love this line of fragrances - Songes and Eau D'Hadrian, and so many others are my go-to scents - so I took a flyer on this. Blech! Really the worst thing I've ever sprayed on. I recommend it for no occasion and no time of day. I literally couldn't give it away - and I tried!

Candace Parker did a little bit of everything on Sunday to fire UMMC Ekaterinburg to an 84-50 triumph over Wisla Can-Pack Krakow in the battle for third place in the EuroLeague Women.
Parker scored 21 points, pulled down seven rebounds and came up with a game-high six steals as the Russian outfit ended its Final Four in Valencia with a resounding victory.
Ros Casares blew out Wisla Can-Pack Krakow 86-57 on Friday night to set up another EuroLeague Women Final showdown with Spartak Moscow Region.
The Spanish giants showed no mercy in rolling to a big win in front of their home fans at La Fonteta, forcing Wisla to commit 26 turnovers.
The moment of truth is about to arrive for Ros Casares.
The dominant side in Spain for several years, the Valencia club now has its best chance to capture a first crown on the continent as hosts of the EuroLeague Women Final Four.
Hi everybody!! Here I am writing for the very first time since our elimination from the EuroLeague Women 2009-10 tournament.
It's been another great experience for me once again playing at the very highest level of European club competition.

The host Diamond Peak Ski Team enjoyed two great days of Far West giant slalom racing at its home resort this past weekend, with sunny, warm weather and better snow coverage thanks to recent storms.
The Showoff race area was firm and fast, ideal for racing. More than 325 athletes competed, each taking two runs through the course each day. The Diamond Peak Ski Team athletes were ready and took advantage of the home turf, producing outstanding results.
Julia Holm, 9, was Diamond Peak's standout of the weekend, as she raced to first place in all four of her J5 girls runs.
The J4/5 team brought home three first-place podium finishes, six podium finishes total and seven additional top 15 places.
Winston Pretti raced to a first-place finish in Saturday's J4 boys race and a third-place podium finish on Sunday. Casey Delaney placed fifth for J4 boys on Sunday. Belle Johnson, a consistent top performer for the Diamond Peak J4 girls, placed second on both days. Laurel Taylor raced to 11th on Sunday and Emily Donahue placed 15th on Saturday and 14th on Sunday.
For the J5 boys, Aidan Pretti placed 13th. For the J5 girls, Rachell Delaney placed 14th on Saturday and 12th on Sunday.
"What a weekend!" exclaimed Diamond Peak Ski Team coach Josee Lacasse. "The Diamond Peak coaches and staff did a fantastic job preparing the venue and we had some great skiing and improvements were made by all."
The team's next J4/5 race is in two weeks at Squaw Valley, with a dual slalom and a dual giant slalom.
Over at Alpine Meadows, another giant slalom race was held with the Tahoe League over the weekend. Diamond Peak athletes raced to two top-15 finishes, with Otto Albrecht placing seventh in the 7/8 boys' division and Alani Powell placing fifth for the 7/8 Girls.

Today I celebrate the life of my maternal grandmother, Mattie Mae (Springer) Holt. She would have been 92 years old on May 17 had she lived. Although my family has had to do without her physical presence for 13 years now, her influence and spirit lives on in us all.
Mattie was born in 1921 in rural southwestern Tennessee, and she had 7 siblings who survived to adulthood. Her parents worked hard to provide a good life for their family. Her father sharecropped, worked on steamboats and eventually landed what would have been considered a good government job at the Oak Ridge, TN plant, site of the infamous Manhattan Project. Her mother, Effie, was a caring homemaker. My grandmother was the only one of my grandparents I was fortunate to have interviewed and she shared wonderful memories of her childhood. Those interviews, especially looking back today, were a real gift: you don't think of your grandparents as having once been children themselves. She talked about her father telling the kids ghost stories at nighttime, about attending camp meeting at church, and how although her older siblings picked cotton, she never did. She was proud of that.;) She explained how families wouldn't have meat for the winter unless they had a hog to kill, and hog-killing was a big celebration in Tennessee that brought the whole community together.
My grandmother finished about 2 years at Tennessee State University, which was quite an opportunity for her generation. She would go on to marry my grandfather, Luther Holt and move to Dayton, Ohio. True to the patterns of the Great Migration, three of her siblings and eventually her mother Effie were all brought to Dayton to live, many working in the Delco factories of the GM plant. Whatever its shortcomings, in Dayton my mother and aunt were able to grow up free of the legalized segregation that was the experience of most African-Americans during this era.
In Ohio, trailblazer that she was, Mattie earned her real estate license and excelled at this male dominated occupation that required charisma, intellect and tenaciousness. I remember thinking my grandmother was a glamorous celebrity because she had an endless array of fur coats, wigs, jewelry and fabulous clothes for me to play in. She fiercely protected and loved her daughters, and she and my grandfather were able to provide all of their girls with college educations. She had a gleaming black Cadillac (her sister had a silver one) and I would ride around with her to collect rent from various properties she owned–I felt so important! She was a businesswoman way back even then. I've heard that she enabled many blacks at that time to buy their first homes and also connected them with a Jewish friend of hers who owned a store and would let them to buy furniture and appliances on credit. That may seem like a small thing, but it was a necessary step on the march towards blacks living the American Dream.
We all called her "Mama", grandchildren as well. She was smart and funny and loved to keep up with the news and issues of the day–I have this memory of her always listening to the Joe "The Black Eagle" Madison show, on the AM dial here in Maryland. She enjoyed politics. She had a confidence and independence that allowed her to live life on her own terms no matter what "society" thought about it–very ahead of where women were in those days. I'm pretty sure I inherited this trait. She wore the most outrageous wigs in every color and mini-skirts, bikinis–her clothing was entirely out of sync with typical more conservative older women from the South! Everyone you'd interview today will still remember Mattie Holt and her clothes. I think for her it really was an expression of her truest self.
She divorced after 20-some odd years of marriage, a rare thing for a woman of her era to do. And went happily about her life. She and my grandfather later in life became very good friends and she was buried beside him. That kind of bravery and courageousness left a powerful impact on my consciousness as I grew into a young woman. Today, of her three youngest grandchildren, one is in college and the other two will be graduating high school soon. My son Sebastian would have been her first great grandchild. She left a long trail of love in this family and we remember all the gifts she left us. I hope she is looking down with a smile.
Mama, I am missing you & thinking about you on your 92nd birthday~
Your granddaughter Robyn
