The NY Post's Larry Brooks confirms that the Rangers will be
announced as participants in the 2012 Winter Classic when the schedule for next
season is released later today.
The game is scheduled to be held January 2nd in Philadelphia against the
Flyers, who played in the Winter Classic in 2010.
The allure of the outdoor game increased exponentially last
year thanks to HBO's "24/7: Road to the Winter Classic" which took fans behind
the scenes with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals leading up to
the game.
The Blueshirts will be one of the subjects of this year's
show and are sure draw lots of league-wide attention thanks to the multitude of
subplots surrounding the team.
Here are some of the things to look forward to on "24/7":
John Tortorella. The
colorful coach has been involved with public confrontations with the media
several times before, and that was without HBO's cameras shoved in his face at
every moment. Tortorella may try to tone
down his act, but the Rangers' coach may have trouble maintaining control after
a bad loss or two. Tortorella may give
Bruce Boudreau a run for his money.
Young chemistry. One
of the things we constantly hear about the importance of developing homegrown
talent is that it's essential for players to spend years together on and off
the ice to develop chemistry. The young
Rangers developed nicely last year and it will certainly be interesting to see
how they interact behind closed doors.
Sean Avery. The left
wing has one of the most intriguing personalities in sports and even if he's
not a huge part of New York's
plans this season, he's sure to get plenty of air time. HBO will have a field day following Avery on
shopping trips and around New York
City followed by a scene of him punching an opponent
in the face later the same night.
Henrik Lundqvist's competitiveness. Lundqvist is renowned for being as
competitive as they come and the HBO special should give us a pretty good look
at just how intense Lundqvist is in the locker room before and after games. We've seen Lundqvist beat himself up in
postgame press conferences, but this should take it to a whole new level.
The rivalry. The
Flyers and Rangers aren't exactly friends and unlike Pittsburgh
and Washington,
this hatred hasn't been born over just the last few years. The distaste between these two teams is
palpable and assuming each is in the thick of the playoff hunt next year, these
games should be fun to watch.
Glen Sather uncovered? Sather has been an extremely polarizing figure during his tenure with
the Blueshirts and in recent years he's done his best to stay away from cameras
and microphones. Capitals GM George McGhee
wasn't a main character on last year's "24/7," but he was involved. There's a chance we'll get a closer look at
how Slats operates.

Jennifer Lawrence is a pervert ... at least when it comes to John Stamos.
The "Silver Linings Playbook" star revealed she'd love to share a "Full House" with Uncle Jesse last night on "Conan." Have mercy!
But the 22-year-old completely freaked when she met her celebrity crush.
"I was [like] a perverted guy," she told Conan O'Brien. "I was like following him into rooms and staring at his ass. I lost my mind."
It got so awkward Stamos actually asked if she "was on mushrooms."
This girl can do no wrong. After referencing "Mean Girls," "The First Wives Club" and "My Super Sweet 16" during acceptance speeches and being candid about her "uneven breasts," J-Law has become one of the most likeable and relatable stars out there.
Check out another clip from Conan below, where she revealed a very embarrassing role she had on "Monk" back in the day:

More information for Verus Forte Satellite Speaker Pair
Expertly cast as the supporting member of the Verus Family, the Forte Satellite Speaker is poised to bring you amazing surround sound from a speaker that's barely 9" tall.
The secret is our brand new Aperion PhaseSync driver, which bundles our patent-pending Axially Stabilized Radiator tweeter with a woofer in a space-saving design. Teamed up with the Verus Forte Center and one of our Bravus Subwoofers, the Verus Forte Bookshelf delivers an astonishing wall of sound. They're also ideal for use as surround speakers in any home theater situation.
But these small speakers won't just keep your ears happy--your eyes also get in on this party. We've encased the Verus Forte line in slender, curved cabinets, then finished them in either gloss cherry wood veneer or gloss piano black. The only thing more stunning is the price.
Key Features
- One 4.25" Aperion PhaseSync Driver with Integrated ASR Tweeter
- 2-way bass reflex design
- 5-way gold-plated binding posts
- Furniture-grade gloss cherry wood veneer or gloss piano black finish

- FREE lifetime technical support
*Free shipping value is based on ground shipping costs from Portland, OR to New York, NY. Individual rates vary.
Customer Reviews For Verus Forte Satellite Speaker Pair
- Amazing Little Speaker! Scott A.
- Intro:
First off, let me say that I'm no audio expert and do not have much experience at all with high end audio products. The Aperion Verus Forte Bookshelves were my first 'real' speakers that I've had in my home, and the first 'real' speakers that I have spent more than ten minutes listening to. I've had these speakers for about a month now and have spent quite a bit of time with them listening to both music and movies. With that being said, I'll get on with my review.
Setup and Room:
Currently, I'm running a pair of these speakers as my main left and right speakers in my living room. I have them paired with a HSU VTF-15H subwoofer for the low end (crossed over at 80hz) and these are mated to a Marantz 6005 receiver. My listening area is about 13ft by 13ft, but the room is about 21 feet long by 13 feet wide. The VFB is not quite large enough to really 'fill' the room with sound, but for its size it does a really good job! I'm planning to exchange for a larger Aperion Bookshelf speaker soon, but I wanted to see how the VFB performed in a room about my size first.
A quick note on 'filling' the room with sound:
I'd just like to clarify that when I say that the VFBs can't properly 'fill' my room with sound, I'm not saying that they can't get loud enough, but rather that they don't sound 'big' in my room. I can easily get these speakers loud enough to be easily heard throughout the whole house. But in my living room, these speakers still sound just a bit 'small' instead of providing a nice 'large' sound.
Build Quality and Aesthetics:
Again, I'm no expert. These speakers are heavy for their and they look great! The cabinet is solid, beautifully designed, and oozes quality.
First Impressions:
Upon hooking the speakers up for the first time, and before they had any time to break in, I could immediately tell that there was a significant leap in sound quality, imaging, detail, and clarity over most other speakers I have heard before.
Thoughts on Music Listening:
Everything is clear, detailed, and imaging is great! Vocals sound very natural, instruments sound great, you can hear all the little nuances in a piece of music, and all of the space between the left and right speaker is filled with music! For being Aperion's smallest Verus line speaker, this thing sure sounds good! It handled all the music I could throw at it well, except perhaps for very heavy rock music. When playing that kind of music, things sounded just a little congested to me. This may not be the speaker, it may be the receiver not being able to deliver enough power to the speaker, or me having to turn it up too loud in order to compensate for the VFB's non-room filling size. But aside from that, I've been rewarded with amazing sound for the last month!
Thoughts on Movies:
The imaging of these speakers really helps out with movies. Despite only running a 2.1 configuration, the dialogue always sounded like it was coming from the center of the screen. The VFBs made voices sound natural, provided great detail on every scene (whether it was a calm scene or action packed), and overall sounded very good and provided a very decent movie experience. The speakers never completely 'disappeared' with any of the content I listened to, but they came close. Movies were definitely more immersive than I'm used to.
Really, there are only two shortcomings of the VFBs in my opinion. Firstly, as mentioned before, they can't 'fill' a large room well. But again, they weren't designed to. If you have a small listening area or don't mind if your whole room is filled with sound then the VFBs would be a great choice for you. Secondly, the VFBs don't have great bass extension. This isn't a huge issue for me because I'm running a sub with them, but if you don't have a sub or like to listen to 2 channel music without one, you'll be missing a lot of low end.
Aside from these speakers sounding a little congested on some heavy rock music, not being able to fill my room super well, and lacking in the bass department, there's really nothing not to like about these speakers. They provide very clear and detailed sound, they image very well, and they sound very natural. Female and male voices sound great, and instrumental music is a treat! I really enjoy these speakers, and I'm sure you would too!
- Now this was fun! Randy M.
- Having suffered my collection of MP3s and Apple Lossless on an old MAC G5 with poor computer speakers, I thought I'd jump into a new trend. I used my TOSLINK optical out to a V-DAC with a Pyramid power supply (PS-3KX) and old Yamaha two-channel amp and a pair of Aperion Forte satellites.
This topic has as many opinions as, well, you know. But here I started with one element at a time: Aperion with amp. Just that alone was good. Then added TOSLINK and V-DAC. Wow. And finally, I added the power supply. Fantastic.
This is a solid coaxial speaker with a -3db at around 78 Hz and a crossover it seemed around 1700-2000Hz for the tweeter. Can't remember the readings exactly.
The imaging is wonderful at this computer distance, but I was astonished by how well it filled the room. The definition and articulation in the midrange is excellent while the higher frequencies seem a tad aggressive, but with some burn-in this should soften a bit. Regardless i can listen for hours.
My first pair arrived with one speaker having a disconnected tweeter presumably from shipping and Aperion jumped right on it with an immediate replacement.
Well done. Highly recommended.

Pro Reviews For Verus Forte Satellite Speaker Pair
- Great speakers - my system is complete
- Thees speakers were one of the best investments I made in my home audio system. They pack a punch and I feel that my system is complete, for now...
- Home Theater Review Evaluates the Verus Forte Satellite Speaker
- Performance: Four out of Five Stars
Value: Four out of Five Stars
Overall Rating: Four out of Five Stars
"It's hard to fault a speaker that sells direct for $350 a pair and looks and sounds as good as the Verus Forte Satellite loudspeaker does. Sure they don't have subterranean bass nor do they possess earth-shattering dynamics but as surround sound speakers, they're phenomenal and even as stereo mains in smaller rooms they'll impress - especially when it comes to vocals. Plus, when you consider you get a 30-day, risk free trial to see if they're you're cup of tea, there isn't much risk in deciding if the Verus Forte Satellite loudspeakers are right for you."

Maybe they just love to be loved, because Aperion's Verus Forte Speaker Line has exactly the types of products you'll want to call them up and thank them for."

- Digital Trends "Editors' Choice" Award Given to Aperion's Verus Forte Tower System
- "9 out of 10. Due to their excellent musicality, large sound in a small footprint and high value, the Verus Forte Towers earn our Editor's Choice Award."
"We were equally impressed with the satellites. The high frequencies they put out were a dead-on match for those emanating from the mains and center channel. They clearly lacked the bass authority that the other three channels offered, but did a solid job as a surround speaker. For those who do a lot of multi-channel listening, a larger surround may be warranted but we think that, otherwise, the Forte satellites are a strong candidate as a musical speaker in a number of small room or close-in listening situations. Paired with a subwoofer, the satellites would make pretty dynamite computer speakers or even handle background music for a small room."
"Aperion's Verus Forte speakers, particularly the floor-standing tower model, offer an appreciable improvement over the company's already solid Intimus offerings. The differences between the two lines is most obvious in the high frequency section where the tweeters higher-power handling and lower frequency capabilities serve to make the speakers sound articulate, accurate and detailed enough to satisfy just about any critical listener. Their more stylistic cabinets add to the speaker's refinement and make a pleasant statement in a room. At $495.00 each, the Verus Forte Tower represents a very solid value, if a bit more expensive than the company's Intimus line. We think these speakers will appeal to budget-audiophiles who want a speaker that challenges the law of diminishing returns by offering an incredibly refined, full bodied sound in an attractive package under the $1k price point. Add to the towers a very capable center channel and surrounds and you've got a surround speaker system that will most certainly be the envy of your friends and neighbors."
- Caleb Denison, DigitalTrends.com, March 2011
New Aperion PhaseSync Driver
The Verus Forte line is intended for intimate spaces, and we wanted everyone in the room to have the best seat. So we built a new driver that optimizes on- and off-axis performance in the smallest size possible. The PhaseSync Driver packs the woofer and ASR tweeter into a single space-saving package. Coupled with the midrange driver, the Aperion PhaseSync lets Verus Forte deliver as much true-to-life sound as speakers nearly twice the size.
New Aperion Axially Stabilized Radiator
We engineered the new silk dome ASR to handle frequencies beneath most tweeters. Now the mid-high frequencies emit the same crystalline tones as their counterparts in the penthouse. From the pluck of a violin string to the screech of tires, the result is pure, authentic sound.
Furniture-Grade Finish
The slim curves of the Verus line's first-rate cabinetry make us think "supermodel"—but the primo acoustic qualities means she'd have to sound as good as she looks. The finishing touch for every Verus speaker is a high-gloss cherry-wood veneer or piano-black lacquer that's so right for every décor, your coffee table will be jealous.
5-way gold-plated binding posts
The 5-way gold-plated binding posts let you connect your speakers any which way you choose: bare wire, banana plugs, spades, round pins or flat pins. Not only does the gold plating give your system some bling, it also serves a more practical purpose: to resist corrosion and provide the best possible connection to your receiver.
Magnetically Held Perforated Metal Grilles
To protect the speaker innards from accidents, pets or curious fingers, the entire Verus line sports perforated metal grilles that let sound flow through unchecked, improving imaging and reducing high-frequency reflection. Hidden magnets hold the grilles in recessed baffles.

fueledbycoffee wrote:Wikipedia wrote:The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
In the practice of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a living person, acting as proxy, is baptized by immersion on behalf of a deceased person of the same gender. The baptism ritual is as follows: after calling the living proxy by name, the person performing the baptism says, "Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you for and in behalf of [full name of deceased person], who is dead, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." The proxy is then immersed briefly in the water. Baptism for the dead is a distinctive ordinance of the church and is based on the belief that baptism is a required ordinance for entry into the Kingdom of God.
Community of Christ
Some members of the early Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now known as the Community of Christ) also believed in baptism for the dead,[1] but it was never officially sanctioned by that organization, and was considered highly controversial.[2]
A revelation and two letters written by Joseph Smith, Jr. appertaining to baptism for the dead were removed from the RLDS Doctrine and Covenants by a church general conference in 1970.
Other Latter Day Saint churches
In the Restoration Branches movement, which broke from the RLDS Church in the 1980s, the question of Baptism for the Dead is at best unsettled, reflecting their RLDS origin. Many adherents reject the validity of this ordinance completely.[3]
Other Latter Day Saint denominations that accept baptism for the dead include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite) and The Church of Jesus Christ (Cutlerite). The Strangite Church performed baptisms for the dead during the 1840s in Voree, Wisconsin and later during the 1850s on Beaver Island, Michigan. In each case, the practice was authorized by revelation given by James J. Strang. The question of whether the Strangite Church still practices proxy baptism is an open one, but belief in it is considered orthodox.[4]
Cutlerite practice permits baptisms for the dead to be performed in baptismal fonts in Cutlerite meetinghouses (of which only two exist today, one in Clitherall, Minnesota and the other in Independence, Missouri). Though Cutlerites believe in the concept of temples, it is not required that baptisms for the dead be performed in one. The meetinghouse baptismal fonts are used for baptism of the living and for the dead. Cutlerites have practiced baptisms for the dead sporadically throughout their history (including during the early 1990s), but it is not known if they still do so. As with the LDS Church and the Strangite Church, belief in this doctrine is considered orthodox.
If that's correct, any of my descendants who do that to me are gettin' their asses haunted. I want my beer and strippers, not some boring-ass Mormon heaven.

The League of Women Voters will have their monthly Lunch with a Leader at 11:45 a.m. Nov. 8 at Mesa Library.
Their leader in November will be the new County Attorney Becky Ehler.
After working in Alamogordo for 19 years as the city attorney and as the legal advisor to the City's Department of Public Safety, she came to Los Alamos in June 2012 with her husband of 34 years.
They purchased a house in White Rock where they live with the animals their kids left behind when they moved out.
Ehler has worked in Gallup and Roswell and had brief experience with the federal government as a summer intern in a congressional office.
Ehler thinks working in local government is the best choice because of the increased opportunity to directly interact with residents.
She also believes she has a better opportunity to make an impact on the community at this level. " It's very gratifying to be able to see the outcome of a project upon which I have worked and see the genuine benefit to the citizens at the end of the project."
The event is open to the public. To attend, call Karyl Ann Armbruster at 661-6605 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Food is ordered from the co-op.

Product 203/242
Contemporary childrens' garment wear.
Katie began making these undies for her own children and created the pattern with both comfort and style in mind. Now, she's drafted the patterns in sizes 2-4-6-8 for both girls and boys. There is no longer any excuse for having boring undies, get out your scrap bin and start mixing and matching!
What makes these undies special? First, there is no elastic involved. The waist and legs are finished with bands of cotton/ lycra fabric which holds the undies comfortably in place. The undies are made with a child in mind, so the style is modern yet modest. Using a variety of knit scraps makes these a fun, economical sewing project. Since you only need a little bit of fabric for each pair, this is a great way to repurpose outgrown tees, too!
What you'll need:
· scraps of knit fabrics. The legs and waistband require cotton/lycra blend fabrics for greater stretch and recovery, but the other pieces can be cut from 100% cotton knit (jersey, rib knit or interlock). If you're buying fabric specifically for this project, 1/2 yard will make 2 pairs of undies.
· matching thread.
Sewing pattern delivered via electronic download.
Format: PDF File - Available for Instant Download.
Pages: 42 (Instructions + Illustrations - 19, Pattern Sheets - 23).
Designer Terms of Use: This pattern is for use only by the purchaser. Individual garments made using this pattern may be sold by independent seamstresses. Not for mass production.

Anansi Boysby Neil Gaiman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Fat Charlie Nancy's normal life ended the moment his father dropped dead on a Florida karaoke stage. Charlie didn't know his dad was a god. And he never knew he had a brother.
Now brother Spider's on his doorstep — about to make Fat Charlie's life more interesting...and a lot more dangerous.
"If readers found the Sandman series creator's last novel, American Gods, hard to classify, they will be equally nonplussed — and equally entertained — by this brilliant mingling of the mundane and the fantastic. 'Fat Charlie' Nancy leads a life of comfortable workaholism in London, with a stressful agenting job he doesn't much like, and a pleasant fiance, Rosie. When Charlie learns of the death of his estranged father in Florida, he attends the funeral and learns two facts that turn his well-ordered existence upside-down: that his father was a human form of Anansi, the African trickster god, and that he has a brother, Spider, who has inherited some of their father's godlike abilities. Spider comes to visit Charlie and gets him fired from his job, steals his fiance, and is instrumental in having him arrested for embezzlement and suspected of murder. When Charlie resorts to magic to get rid of Spider, who's selfish and unthinking rather than evil, things begin to go very badly for just about everyone. Other characters — including Charlie's malevolent boss, Grahame Coats ('an albino ferret in an expensive suit'), witches, police and some of the folk from American Gods — are expertly woven into Gaiman's rich myth, which plays off the African folk tales in which Anansi stars. But it's Gaiman's focus on Charlie and Charlie's attempts to return to normalcy that make the story so winning — along with gleeful, hurtling prose. Agent, Merrilee Heifetz of Writers House. 16-city author tour. (On sale Sept. 20)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"The result, though less dazzling than American Gods, is even more moving. Intermittently lumpy and self-indulgent, but enormously entertaining throughout. And the Gaiman faithful...will devour it gratefully." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"[A] romantic screwball comedy seasoned with murder, magic, and ghosts....[Gaiman is] the folksy, witty, foolishly wise narrator to perfection, drawing us into the web he weaves as skillfully as any...spider." Booklist (Starred Review)
"[A]pparently, there isn't much Neil Gaiman can't do. Anansi Boys is one of the finest screwball comedies to come along since To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis....[A] remarkable and entertaining book." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A fun book with a little of everything — horror, mystery, magic, comedy, song, romance, ghosts, scary birds, ancient grudges, and trademark British wit....Another lovely story as only Gaiman can tell it; necessary and recommended." Library Journal
"With Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman's delightful, funny and affecting new novel, the bestselling author has scored the literary equivalent of a hole in one, employing the kind of self-assured storytelling that makes it all look so easy." Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post
"Set in a dreamlike world of reality and circumstance, Anansi Boys belies Gaiman's admonitions. No, it is not big, and it may not even be serious, but it is laugh-out-loud funny and scary as a spider on your arm." USA Today
"The genre-busting novel is very creative and very funny, two Gaiman specialties. Its sweep is less epic than American Gods, but it works well on its own terms. (Grade: A-)" Christian Science Monitor
"Gaiman is witty and engaging, but his power is more as a storyteller than as a stylist, and I think what his fans find so appealing about his stories is that they are comforting, no matter how scary, like a good bedtime tale." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"[F]unny and subversive, a comedy of ill-mannered gods and bad-hearted mortals....Gaiman's mastery of language carries the reader through to a satisfying conclusion." USA Today
"[A] giddy but somewhat unsatisfying ride. Whenever Gaiman runs into a narrative jam, he veers off in an exhilarating new direction, a diversionary tactic that starts to feel like a cheat. (Grade: B-)" Entertainment Weekly
"[Q]uite inventive, if not revolutionary....I found [it] immensely fun to read, very clever and sharp....
"With its quirky, inventive fantasy, this is a real treat for Gaiman's fans....Darkly funny and heartwarming to the end, this book is an addictive read not easily forgotten." School Library Journal
One of fiction's most audaciously original talents, Neil Gaiman now gives us a mythology for a modern age — complete with dark prophecy, family dysfunction, mystical deceptions, and killer birds. Not to mention a lime.
Charlie's dad wasn't just any dad. He was Anansi, a trickster god, the spirit of rebellion able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, and baffle the devil. When he dies on a karaoke stage, things get very interesting for Charlie.
About the Author
Neil Gaiman is the critically acclaimed, award-wining creator of the Sandman series of graphic novels; author of the novels American Gods, Stardust, Neverwhere, and Coraline; the short fiction collections Smoke and Mirrors and the upcoming Fragile Things; and the bestselling children's books The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish and The Wolves in the Walls.

I've never been a fan of MOBA, but I will play this.
What an awesome group of people on stage... gotta love them.
Either people are watching closely, or this isn't a very popular topic... o.O
Looks good so far.
Small article here with some info: http://www.ongamers.com/articles/ini...storm/1100-69/
lol at the Q&A. Obv they have never played a MOBA and only watch pro players. Talking about communication and team work. If there is a soloq, there wont be any of that cause all ppl in MOBAs want to do is have the most kills. Win or lose.
And no one asked if this will be a free to play,like Hearthstone ?
Only skins that costs money ?
Like other MOBA I believe so :S
The Red Shirt dude sure put alooooot of effort in his presentation today, good job dude!
As for soloq. People go there to win, whether they have X or Y kills is irrelevant to the game since it's not how you win it, not necessarily.
Apparently it is free to play
Ok, it´s free to play, only question remains for me is skins, I read in blizzcon you can choose skins but no one asked//have been said if the skins will be able to pick for free // pay // achievable through achievements etc etc etc ...
I'm not a huge MOBA fan but the setting and characters in this game could actually get me into the genre. Never thought I would be excited for a MOBA.
wow i just want to play this game... any clues about when they will giving out beta or something like that? i really looking forward to 20 min fast phased games full of heros you like that you will always hesitate what to pick because they are all awesome
So Chaud, Are we gunna get a Heroes of the Storm thread like Heathstone has ??
Everyone missing the 20 minute time limit. Not a serious moba. what a joke.

As professional fashion-appreciators, we spend a good deal of time pouring over images of our favorite ladies, trying to understand the mysterious quality that distinguishes their stellar ensembles from the more average fare. We also consider it part of our duty to experiment and try to reproduce our own version of their lovely looks! For this month's installment of WWW Styling Tips, we have gathered six examples of girls whose ability to inspire with their outfits separate them from the pack. Hopefully, you will find these tips helpful, and instructive for your own closet quandaries. After all, imitation (or in this case, inspiration) is the highest form of flattery, right?
Tip #1: Mix a body-con dress with an oversized biker jacket.
While the body-con dress has been a wardrobe staple for some time now, we have usually seen this silhouette paired with a tight-fitting leather jacket or shrunken schoolboy blazer. It-girl Annabelle Dexter-Jones decided to play with this proportion by wearing a fitted Kate Moss for Topshop Suede Dress ($250) with an oversized motorcycle jacket (in this case, borrowed from her brother) to a private dinner celebrating Topshop's New York flagship store. We were quite taken with this new combo and suggest that you try a contour-hugging dress, like Tutu Blue's Black Eyelet Dress ($179), with an oversized moto jacket or boxy bomber to achieve an equally masculine-feminine look.
Tip #2: Try a ruffled, single-shoulder cocktail frock.
As brand ambassador for her family's fashion label, Margarita Missoni knows how to wear a seriously busy pattern. Though it is usually the print of her garments that catch our eye, we were actually besotted by the shape of the Missoni Navy One Shoulder Dress ($3150) she wore to the Missoni cocktail party in London. With spring upon us, we highly recommend investing in a similarly shaped one-shouldered dress for an al fresco evening event or a night on the town. We like Mason by Michelle Mason's Asymmetrical Ruffle Dress ($375); it's a completely fresh and modern take on more traditional cocktail attire!
Tip #3: Wear a long tux vest as a blazer alternative.
Lately, we have been noticing a preponderance of cap-sleeved duster coats and sleeveless jackets on some of the most fashionable trendsetters. Natalia Vodianova, for example, chose a tuxedo vest to wear to the launch of the lingerie line she designed for Etam. Dressed up or dressed down, this abbreviated version of your favorite blazer will help you look tailored and polished well into the warmer months! We suggest including a similar style in your spring wardrobe repertoire, like Helmut Lang's Sleeveless Blazer ($390).
Tip #4: Enliven your outerwear with a bold band jacket.
Though Sara Blomqvist may not be as familiar as some of the paparazzi favorites we usually feature, this model certainly can teach us a lesson about off-duty style! Seen backstage at Lanvin's Fall 09 show, the Swedish mannequin looked ready to lead the charge in a red military-meets-marching-band coat, complete with gilded buttons, epaulets, and frogging details. We love the idea of swapping out your usual jacket options with this well-decorated alternative. To get this uniform-inspired style, be sure to check out sites like eBay.com, your favorite local vintage boutique, or Army-Navy surplus stores. These shops will be your greatest allies in helping you get an especially authentic accent piece!
Tip # 5: Pair a chichi tutu skirt with an easy t-shirt.
Voluminous bottoms have been a major fashion fascination for the past few seasons, and we couldn't be more interested in seeing the different variations of this versatile style. Nicole Richie opted for a full, short skirt in black satin for the Rachel Zoe and Decadestwo charity benefit during Los Angeles Fashion Week. After researching Richie's selection, we were pleasantly surprised to find that hers was originally a long vintage find, which she had shortened to create a darling new shape. We love the young mother's D.I.Y. spirit, but the look can be just as easily achieved by picking up Topshop's Tie Back Full Skirt ($55). Pair the statement skirt with a basic tee to achieve Richie's perfectly unfussy ensemble.
Tip # 6: Play up your shoulders this spring.
At a launch event for Topshop's New York store, Michelle Monaghan looked on-trend by wearing spring's most noteworthy fashion story: the strong shoulder! Monaghan mixed a gray suede Barbara Hulanicki for Topshop Puff Sleeve Shoulder Jacket ($260, available April 28th) with monochromatic staples, so as not to look overdone. Her nude Topshop Boutique Cashmere Mix Top ($40) and tapered black trousers allowed her strong-shouldered silhouette to take center stage, creating a masterfully composed outfit! Of course, the strong shoulder is a tricky look to get right, so try Marc by Marc Jacob's Glove Leather Jacket ($798) or Banana Republic's BR Monogram Stepweave Wrap Jacket ($275), which are both artfully constructed to help you get the drama of the modern bold-shoulder without looking like the ghosts of eighties-past have come to haunt you!

The Rangers could use the Islanders right about now. Not as a shoulder to cry on but rather one to lean on. A crushing loss of two pivotal playoff points to the Buffalo Sabres last night -- who were without their stud goalie Ryan Miller -- did not color the playoff picture they were hoping for.
Instead of distancing themselves from playoff hopefuls, they allowed the Sabres to jump to seventh place in the East for 87 points all while the ninth place Carolina Hurricanes were pouncing the Montreal Canadiens and gaining ground. The Hurricanes are now only three points away from the eighth place Rangers.
Another troubling number: the Blueshirts have just three goals in their last four games. Enter the Isles who seem to bring out the best in Broadway's offense. The Rangers have outscored the Islanders 25-16 this season. A large margin victory could swing the Rangers right back into the upward trend they were taking last week. A defeat could send them into a familiar temporary downward spiral which they can't afford. There's no time left to lose. With only five games left, the points are that much more vital.
The Rangers and Islanders will both be coming off of back-to- back games and one goal losses. The Islanders comeback hopes from a two goal deficit were thwarted by Andy Greene who propelled the Devils to a 3-2 victory last night in New Jersey just after Isles forward Frans Nielsen scored twice in the third period to make it interesting.
Rangers' winger Marian Gaborik had five shots on goal last night and was itching to score on the Sabres rookie goaltender Jhonas Enroth. He hasn't scored since March 20 against the Penguins but the Islanders seem to awaken the slumbering sniper in quiet stretches. Gaborik has six goals and three assists in five games against the Islanders this season.
The Isles are a mediocre 4-4-2 in their last ten games while the Rangers backstopped by "the King" have been on a tear, though lately on the brink of fizzling out. They are 8-4-1 for the month of March.
Henrik Lundqvist is playing with the desperation and urgency the Blueshirts need for a playoff berth. He's posting a 1.67 goals against average and has three shutouts in his last 10 games. The Rangers have won the last four meetings between the two teams.
Bottom line: The Isles will be looking to save face while the Rangers are hoping to save a place in the playoffs.
Rangers @ Islanders
Nassau Coliseum, 7:00 p.m., Thursday
Rangers record: 41-31-5
Islanders record: 29-36-12
vOy Vey: Wojtek Wolski continues to be highly impressive at being unimpressive. For a forward with crafty hands, his consistent lack of ability to generate any kind of energy on offense is surprising, especially at a time when the Rangers can use all the goals they can get. He can typically be seen on the bench in the third period and has filled into Alexander Frolov's (season ending knee injury) "role" seamlessly since being acquired in a trade.
Go Shortie: Islanders' Frans Nielsen leads the league in shorthanded goals with seven.

MASSENA - The villages Board of Trustees has approved a plan to move ahead on a proposal to repair water pipes near Highland Road.
Department of Public Works Superintendent Hassan A. Fayad has prepared a plan that will replace the existing water pipe along Old Orchard and Leslie roads but not re-loop it.
The estimated cost is $245,000, down from the previously proposed $475,000 project. The costs of the project will be split between village ratepayers and the town ratepayers who utilize that system.
The board will hold a public hearing at its Feb. 19 meeting on the proposed plan, after which the board may choose to vote on it.
I think this is a good plan. I think weve got (the plan we want) now, I think its a fair plan and lets move forward with it, Mayor James F. Hidy said.
Under the plan, village homeowners would be billed $8.05 per year for a five-year period, while the homeowners who utilize that system will be billed $56.69 for the replacement of pipes in that area. In addition, there will be a permanent maintenance fee, which will cost village residents $3.76 per year and residents in the Highland Road area $26.49 per year.
Trustee Timothy J. Ahlfeld and Department of Public Works Superintendent Hassan A. Fayad prepared a zero to 100 percent chart for the villages contribution to the repairs. At 100 percent village cost, the homeowners near Highland Road would be charged the same amount as homeowners within the village limits. At zero percent, the costs fell entirely on those homeowners near Highland Road.
The motion passed by a 3-2 vote, with trustees Albert C. Herb Deshaies and Francis J. Carvel voting against it.
Mr. Carvel, who was previously the foreman for the villages DPW. said he is against the plan because he believes the work could be done for much less than $245,000 if the DPW does all work in-house, rather than hire a contractor.
I dont think weve explored all the options; I dont think weve explored doing (the work) in-house, which is what we should have done from the very start, Mr. Carvel said. I hate to say well need this much, and we dont even know how much itll cost.
Mr. Fayad requested $245,000 because thats the estimated cost for hiring a contractor for the work. The DPW could handle the project, but Mr. Fayad said the project would delay their work on extending, relooping and replacing other water lines in the village. He estimated the project would take approximately a month to fully complete.
I have no problem doing the work in-house, as long as (the village board) knows that other projects might not be completed (while work is being done along Highland Road), he said.
Mr. Fayad also said he is open to utilizing the towns Highway Department as a way to offset costs on village ratepayers, should the DPW choose to do the work in-house.
Mr. Carvel pointed out that doing the work in-house avoids paying for the contractors profits, and that this method utilizes equipment and personnel that the village pays for anyway. He also said the work is not particularly difficult, costly or time-consuming, estimating the bulk of the project could be completed within one to two weeks.
Its not a major job to put in a couple hundred feet of pipe. Its not building the St. Lawrence Seaway again, Mr. Carvel said. The trucks are paid for, the men are already there and the town has offered to help out. I think we owe it to the people of Massena to do the work in-house.
In December, the village board considered a plan that would have put the full costs of replacing and relooping the system on the ratepayers near Highland, totaling $5,000 over a 10-year period.
Ratepayers along that pipe on Old Orchard and Leslie roads are billed a monthly village water bill, but their homes lie nearly a mile outside the village limits. A half-century old agreement brought village water to that section of the town.
It is infrastructure outside the village. We do have a responsibility to the people inside the village, Trustee Patricia K. Trish Wilson said. I think this is an equitable way to (fund the maintenance costs).
Mr. Carvel and Mr. Deshaies both expressed a dissatisfaction with the amount the plan charged the homeowners near Highland Road in arguing their case against the plan.
The village took over ownership of those lines. The village has responsibility (to fund maintenance), Mr. Carvel said.
He stressed he felt the new maintenance fee was unnecessary. Why are we adding another maintenance fee? he asked, suggesting the new revenue would simply be dumped into the water fund. Its for forever. Everybody already pays a maintenance fee.
Residents near the pipes dead-end began experiencing rusty water a couple of years ago. The water was still drinkable but looked bad and was problematic for laundry. In the meantime, the DPW has allowed the end of the pipe to leak to prevent the homeowners from receiving rusty water. Mr. Fayad has estimated the pipe could be losing over 200,000 gallons a month.
Theres the loss of revenue, the risk of (the pipes) icing up, and weve had complaints from (one property owner) that theres water ponding up in his property, Mr. Fayad said.
Mr. Fayad had set aside $100,000 in his 2012-13 budget to repair the line, a cost which would have fallen to all village ratepayers. But village board members told him after budget workshops earlier this year to come up with other options to pay for it.
Replacing that line and looping it another 2,300 feet to eliminate the dead-end would cost $475,000, village officials had estimated. That proposal was panned by town officials and ratepayers in that area who attended the village board meeting last month when the proposal was discussed and later tabled. Many feel that because the village has sold water to those ratepayers for more than 50 years, it is obligated to foot the bill.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray, who was a vocal critic of the previous plan, has called this plan an improvement over previously discussed alternatives.
With the relooping, after the pipe is replaced there will be a dead-end, which the New York state Department of Health frowns upon, Mr. Fayad said.
They hate dead-end lines, they dont want dead-end lines, but there was so much conflict in regards to the rates and who was going to pay (for the work) that we scaled this back, and the DOH is OK with what were going to do, Mr. Fayad said.
Mr. Fayad said he is also OK with the proposed project.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Long time allies on drilling for gas in the Tavaputs Plateau, Bill Barrett Corporation and Carbon County have been at odds for a couple of months over efforts by the by the the Denver-based company to remove obstacles to its five -year pursuit of federal approval for year-round drilling in the 60-year old West Tavaputs gas field.
But at least some of that was settled this past couple of weeks when in three separate negotiating sessions, the three groups (Carbon County, Barrett and the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance), along with the state and with the cooperation of the Bureau of Land management, came to a tentative agreement on the issues involved.
"Along with all the partners we have this tentative agreement that will move this thing forward," said Carbon County Commissioner Mike Milovich on Friday. "The agreement is not yet public because it still needs some fine tuning by all those involved."
The original negotiations began with SUWA and Barrett sitting down and were centered on balancing multiple uses on lands on the eastern portion of the plateau and involved the company's request to gate roads on the eastern part of the plateau. The closures would be for the life of the project, estimated to be approximately 30 years.
The company cited protections of resources during year round operations as well as public safety.
"We are in an era where proposals on federal lands generate a lot of stakeholder involvement," noted Jim Felton, a spokesman for Barrett. "And the more folks involved, the more complex the negotiations. Everyone has been willing to make concessions, fortunately. We hope all of us are getting to the point where everyone feels the concessions are fairly distributed among the parties involved."
County officials have expressed their concerns about Barrett's proposal, and have expressed concern that the company was not keeping the commissioners informed about the negotiations that were conducted without the knowledge of the county until a few weeks ago.
"What upset us was that they started doing these negotiations without telling us they were doing them," said Milovich. "They told us about five months ago they were going to talk with SUWA but we didn't think they would move ahead with actual negotiations without us."
Local discussion has centered on talks of trading closing off some roads in the Tavaputs area for avoiding court challenges and appeals by SUWA so that drilling can begin in the West Tavaputs area.
The details, while not public as of yet, consisted of asking the BLM and county to allow gates across some designated roads in the area.
"We have a billion dollars invested in this area and are hoping to have the opportunity to invest twice that amount over the next couple of decades, but getting there has required, as business deals so often do, compromise," said Felton earlier last month during a meeting with some business people. "Our efforts are in the context of building our company. That said, we know the county, which has done so much in the past to assist our efforts, has a different perspective relating to operations on federal lands and our request. Time is money in business. Investors are asking if the cost of waiting further is worth it, or if we should be investing elsewhere."
The county, for its part, has always been against closing any kind of public access, regardless of the reason. They mostly feel that if gates are allowed on any public access, it will set a precedent that could lead to many more closures in the future.
"Bill Barrett Corporation does not downplay the importance of roads and access on federal lands in the west. They are every bit as important psychologically as they are economically and politically," Felton said. "We see the commissioners' position. At the same time, we are trying to get to an agreement that lets us continue to operate. Our ability to do so is obviously important to our company, and I would argue that it's extremely important to the state and Carbon County as well. The county commissioners are the first to acknowledge that, and they, like us, are being as creative as possible in getting this thing done."
At the Chamber of Commerce luncheon held on May 20 Felton was the guest speaker and once again related their situation to the crowd gathered there.
`The question and answer session that followed Felton's speech including comments on both sides from land use advocates that don't want to see any closures to others that said if it wasn't done the county may as well forget ever getting any more substantial gas revenues and economic benefit out of the Tavaputs field.
At the time Felton cited a University of Utah study showing oil and gas to be a $22 million industry in Carbon and Emery Counties, as well as a Carbon County study showing energy companies to be paying millions to the county as nine of the top 10 payers of property tax.
In 2009 Barrett was ranked second highest payer into the county coffers.
But taxes aren't the only thing that need to be considered. Jobs and payrolls are also going to be important in the ability to drill wells. Overall the project could be worth about $300 million over the next 10 years.
But now it seems the problems of those early negotiations have been cast aside as the groups have worked together to get things moving.
"In these negotiations we had to look at the global picture," said Milovich. "We needed to look at what was good for the county (taxes and expanded payroll of new jobs), what was good for the environment, what was good for Barrett and what was good for our country as a whole."
Once the agreement is signed the details of it will be released to the public.
