i knew sea planes were makin a comeback!
The airlines did a very good job of getting their fleets out of JFK and LGA thank goodness!!! American repositioned all of their 777, 767, and 757 (not sure on 737 or MD80's)
Delta got their entire wide-body fleet out with the exception of one B767-432ER Tail N844MH Ship 1820. This aircraft weathered the storm, and was one of the first Delta flights out once JFK reopened.
On another note things are very bad in the NYC metro area currently. Many people lost their homes including several of the communities around Kennedy Airport. People are have no electricity, little food, no next to no gas, and a damaged transportation system.
Dude, you've been hanging around with Al Roker too much...
By the looks of it, GSE is going to be busy for a while.
they were right to move the planes from LGA. what idiot would leave multi-million dollar jets in the wrath of a flood. now i dont live in the states but from the pictures ive seen it was awful.Earlier today it was anounnced that some airports are being opened up again after the flood water was removed and very limited amount of flights are running to supply relief to those affected and to get tourists out of the areas
So...after all of that is said...let's have a marathon while the people in "Staten Island" are pulling dead people out of the debris! Are you kidding me? Sea Planes, pressure washing...best thing that ever happened to LGA? What's wrong with you people???
They cancelled the marathon yesterday. You are not only an asshole, but an uninformed asshole.
You know LGA is not on Staten Island?
The world doesn't stop for a rain and wind storm, no matter how many died or are dieing. There is another 2/3 of this country that are fighting other battles and don't forget there is still an election on Tuesday. We do what we can for the unfortunate folks, and keep them in mind and prayer while we do what we can with what we have. There is little doubt that we have to change this government on Tuesday. Government is being evidenced as part of the problem of getting gasoline and food to needed areas and the mayor first insisting on the marathon then reluctantly canceling or postponing it is an indicator of that. That Obama would have to order barriers (red tape) out of the way is yet another indication that government regulation is hindering not saving us. Mayor (Nanny) Bloomberg evennturned away the National Guard the governor wanted to send

Don't see any hate. If you look I was responding to another comment. You just disagree with me and don't like reading what I write. That's Ok. Don't read it.

New York's LaGuardia Airport Flooded (Picture)
New Yorkers and residents along the Eastern Seaboard are just beginning to emerge today from the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy - millions remain without power, thousands of flights have been cancelled and transportation throughout the region has been severely disrupted.
And to think some people thought it would be better to keep the airplanes in LGA, so didnt have to cancel so many flights... right.
Yea. Those are the folks who have never seen a airplane flying at it's tie downs.
beware of this site. It brings porn pop-ups. I just had to run a security scan.
I see NO problems with this site. In any event, I have blocked pop ups.
I have parked many times at Gate 34. Looks like it's cleaner today than I ever recall
Finally LGA got a goo pressure washing. It gives new meaning top Flushing Bay.
I saw a picture of the Jersey Shore yesterday . The picture was of the Mantaloking Bridge at the intersection of rt 35 where it runs the length of the barrier island. It appears there is a new inlet South of Brielle and North of Barnagat light. It will save the trip through the canal. What a mess
I believe it makes infinite sense to move these mobile things on roller skates out of harms way. As far as I know, all airlines in the hurricane corridor routinely do that.
I thought I'd ask a question: IF an airfield is prone to flooding as a result of storm surges, is there any merit to building protective barriers around at least 3/4 of it?
Same for subway stations.
BTW: many developing countries have cleaner and more presentable airports than LG
They are no doubt newer as well.
BTW: I heard a report today of people defalcating in the hallways of their apartment buildings in NYC. That reflects an attitude. Why would you think those same people would even redecorate and airport. The NYC mayor thinks it's more important to hold the New York Marathon than to locate the lost and feed the hungry on Staten Island. It's more important that you don't get a soda bigger than 16 oz than get gasoline for your generator. It's more important that you have a union card to work than it is to get power back up with qualified linemen from out of state.
Forgetaboutit !It's good enough. Attitude needs adjusting.
Attitudes and priorities."Both,need adjusting!!!Starting with the Mayor himself!!!
Which gate do you want to dock your boat?
They probably should make LGA the new cargo and cruise ship dock. Luckily for me, my current job as opposed to my previous job is easy in and easier out of LGA. Backtaxi down the runway and cleared for takeoff ahead of the 35 airplane line. The joy of "Lifeguard..."
probably the best thing to have happened to that airport in awhile. =P
LGA needed a good bath! One of the most unclean airports I flew out of over the years.
JFK reopened Wednesday ... Any floats manufactured for Jetliners ? Maybe after this one, NYC will relocate KLGA
How sad it is to see this devastation, I have really never seen anything so bad.
Remember Katrina?
But they had some sort of preparation. Also remember that that area of the country typically gets hurricanes. New York hasn't quite had one this bad.
Since the '30's.
true....I saw a pic on the news that showed the water all the way up to gate c34 at KLGA
@ Joseph Howes:
I monitor both local traffic and GC at BWI, just South of Baltimore. I listened to both as pilots moved iron out of BWI to safer havens,only hours before the North winds freshened. to a gale. You wouldn't know it from BWI's METAR reporting but 3 miles away I had a constant breeze of 35 -45kts gusting to 70 while 6-8" of rain blew sideways for hour on hour. It all hit here before Nwe Jersey and New York City but only because we were South of landfall and it was 100 miles off shore with another 60 miles or so of continental plane for the wind to cross. I'm guessing that the same scenario played out at DCA, PHL, EWR, TEB, and points north and West. Leaving your assets worth millions behind when they are mobile would be foolhardy. Leaving them in a tin shed so the wind can collapse it all in a pile wouldn't speak well for the planners either. You don't have top move them far just out of harms way.

1. Is Evgeny Grachev the super-prospect we thought we had
before last season, or the guy who struggled mightily in Hartford?
The tournament alone won't answer this question. But both Grachev himself and the organization
could use some reassurance that Grachev is indeed poised to be a goal-scorer at
the NHL level. In all likelihood Grachev
will have one more full season in Hartford
to refine his game before he's expected to make the Rangers next year. A solid showing at Traverse City would do wonders for Grachev's
confidence and would really help him get this season off on the right foot.
2. Is Dylan McIlrath the goon defender TSN's analysts led us to
believe on draft night, or a potential Chris Pronger in-the-making, a
comparison we've heard more and more as the summer has gone along?
Obviously, McIlrath is somewhere in the middle of these two
extremes. He has a long, long way to go
before he's even NHL ready, let alone a perennial All-Star. The organization had an incredible amount of
faith in McIlrath going into the draft, and Dylan himself seems like a very
confident young man. But Rangers fans
would be thrilled to see McIlrath post a couple points on offense and play
shut-down defense on top of his seemingly inevitable fight (or fights).
3. Are any of the non-roster players worth signing?
The Rangers are bringing four players: Brandon Shinnimin, Kelsey
Tessier, Jason Bast and Daniel Manning, to Traverse City that have previously had
nothing to do with the team. The
tournament is a huge chance for all four; with good performances they could be
offered contracts by the Rangers or any of the NHL's 29 other teams. Of the three, Manning appears to be the most intriguing
as he plays a solid two-way game and has decent size. It will be interesting to see how these four
look next to the best prospects the Rangers have to offer.
4. Is Ryan Bourque's monster preseason a sign of things to
Ray Bourque's undersized kid has his share of critics. Many believe that he's too small for the NHL
and if he does make it, it will be in a defensive forward third line role. Bourque has scored 10 points in four
preseason games and appears to be on a mission to prove everyone wrong. He's not frequently mentioned among the
Rangers' top prospects, but Bourque is certainly showing that he's not going
down without a fight.
5. Is Roman Horak set to be the next out-of-nowhere Rangers
Jess Rubenstein certainly thinks so. Horak has flown under the radar a bit since
he was drafted, but he's got a lot of offensive talent and can play pretty will
on both ends of the ice according to Jess. We'll see if Horak catches the Rangers' eyes.
6. Is Ryan McDonagh ready?
McDonagh should be looking at TC as a tune up for the real
test of Rangers training camp next week. Many folks expect him to make the team, so he needs to dominate the
competition at TC. Anything less would
be a disappointment.
7. Are either of the goalies legitimate NHL prospects?
Scott Stajcer had a rough year following his draft selection
and may soon be out of the Rangers plans. Really, unless something happens to Henrik (God forbid) the Rangers
won't need any of their young goalies to be NHL starters. However, it's always good to have depth, and
trade bait. Cam Talbot has come out of
nowhere and has surpassed Stajcer on the depth chart.
8. How will the rest of the 2010 draft picks perform?
There's no doubt that the most pressure is on McIlrath. But this is also our first look at Andrew
Yogan, Jason Wilson, Christian Thomas and Randy McNaught. Each has a well-documented weakness: Yogan's
consistency and desire, Wilson's
health, Thomas's size, and McNaught's one-dimensional goon game. It will be interesting to see how each
handles their first serious competition in a Ranger uniform.
9. Is Derek Stepan AHL or WHL bound?
Many members of the Rangers front office insist that Stepan will
play with the Rangers at some point this year. That's a little premature, as it's very possible Stepan won't even play
in Hartford
this season. TC and training camp will
be good barometers of Stepan's development.

Now, in a year dedicated to Darwin, a group of reformed Christians have taken up battle against evolution and starting actively promoting creationism. Offcourse, they can promote creationism. But now they started a so called: civiliansinitiatif (more later), a plan to get creationism though alongside evolution in all Dutch schools. Offcourse no creationism teachings without all teachings. So If they succeed the teachings of the FSM should be thaught to.
I shall now explain what a civilianinitiatif is. If you have an idea, and it applies to certain rules and you get autograhpes, names, adresses and birth dates of 40000 people or more (no autograph if you sign up digitally, although they will test some people and ask for theyre autograph to test it isn't all fake). Then it will be going to the government and they will have to seriously decide about the subject.
Basic Rules that need to be aplied to roughly translated are:
1. It's a new proposition that hasn't been in political debate for 2 years atleast.
2. The proposition has to aplie to stuff the big government goes about (not that of the provinces or city's)
3. It shouldn't go against the deepest valeus of Dutch society
4. It's not about taxes or money spending or altering the constitution
(correct me if wrong, it's from here: http://www.tweedekamer.nl/hoe_werkt_het ... /index.jsp )
Now, since there are still more then enough reformed people in the Netherlands to get the 40000 autographs they will probally push on with it and succeed.
But, as generous we are. why wouldn't we do the work for them? They're just making some plans now. But what if we did it already for them with the flying spaghetti monster? The situations are the same, they both want theyre story of human existence to be co teached besides the teachings of evolution in schools as all three are equally (un)proven (even though two of them are based on abvious evidence and christianity isn't).
If the government will decide that all children have to spend time of there lessons on how the flying spaghetti monster created us to the likelyness of pirates (somehow I think the teachings of the flying spaghetti monster will be much more objectively evaluated in politics then that of the creationist as alot of people in the government are christians themselve and I haven't seen anyone dressed as a pirate in there). Them christians shouldn't go through the hassle and save them a lot of work. Might it fail the christians don't even have to try, saving them alot of work. They will most certainly be gratefull, also the lore of the spaghedeity shall be more commonly known throughout the Netherlands as the media will most likely pick this up. This will give us the change to show the teachings and maybe convert more people, and in that way maybe stop global warming.
Now I'm asking especially Dutch people how this could be realized, as not being 18 myself I cannot set this up. But I think it will get alot off support from pastafarians, agnosts, atheists and many more.
Edit: Not Dutch people are also welcome to give ideas or plans or advice or just theyre opinion and arrrgh.

WATERTOWN - The mission to find a crashed MQ-9 Reaper drone will resume this morning after a search in Lake Ontario was called off Tuesday evening due to bad weather.
The cause of the crash, which took place about 1 p.m. about 20 miles northeast of the Port of Oswego, has not yet been determined. It is the first crash of the unmanned aircraft for the 174th Attack Wing, Syracuse, since it started operating the drones from Fort Drums Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield in October 2011.
The mission was going as advertised, up to the point where we did lose control of the airplane, said Col. Greg A. Semmel, commander of the New York Air National Guard unit.
Col. Semmel said during a news conference Tuesday evening that an investigation has been launched. In the meantime, all of the units training flights have been suspended.
Safety is our No. 1 priority at this point, he said. Were going to let our investigative team do their job and, as we come up with the results of what happened, we will use that to make things safer.
The aircraft crashed while flying in approved airspace during a routine student training exercise after taking off from Fort Drums airfield. No injuries or property damage were reported in connection to the crash, and the aircraft, which Col. Semmel valued at approximately $4 million to $5 million, had no weapons or hazardous materials on board.
Boat and helicopter crews from the U.S. Coast Guards stations in Oswego and Buffalo took part in the search effort prior to it being called off for the night. A plan for todays search still was being developed, Col. Semmel said Tuesday.
At Fort Drums airfield, the attack wing has a local crew that serves in a launch and recovery role, controlling takeoff of the aircraft before transferring control by satellite to a remote cockpit in Syracuse, where much of the units pilot training takes place. The local crew also performs maintenance work.
The aircraft has a wingspan of 66 feet and weighs approximately 8,000 to 10,500 pounds, depending on how much fuel, gear and supplies it is carrying.
Col. Semmel said a second Reaper drone was airborne at the time of the crash, and that aircraft was able to return to Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield without any damage.
Despite Tuesdays crash, Col. Semmel said he was confident in the aircrafts safety record.
Its as safe of an airplane as any other airplane that the Air Force flies, he said.
The commander did not specify what the weather was like at the time of the crash, but said conditions were good enough to fly.
The unit currently has video of the crash, but a timetable for the release of that footage was not announced during the news conference.
The crash took place less than a week after the unit opened up a new $5,194,860 hangar to store two of its drones at the Wheeler-Sack airfield. Last month, the unit reached its 2,000th flight hour with the unmanned aircraft at Fort Drum.

In an interview with Dengeki Online, Niikawa described his entry into the gaming world. Apparently, as a child, Niikawa dreamt of being Indiana Jones. "I wanted to have adventures across the globe." Niikawa reminisced. "I seriously planned on being a freelance archeologist traveling to ancient ruins around the world after I graduated college."
The turning point for the potential whip and gun-toting snake-hater came when he got his hands on a certain game. The game was Final Fantasy V for the Super Famicom. Niikawa was instantly fascinated by the game system. "The customizing through the job and ability system was so interesting I couldn't stop thinking 'Who thought up this system and how did they make it?' and 'I want to make a system like this!'' Niikawa recalls. Apparently, the experience was so profound that Niikawa immediately switched gears and began searching for jobs in the game field that very day. Although Niikawa had been playing video games since he was in elementary school, the thought to actually work in the video game industry had never occurred to him until he played Final Fantasy V.
"When I explained my reasoning to my seminar teacher, he just stared blankly at me," laughed Niikawa. "Just a few days ago I'd wanted to be an archeologist, and now suddenly I wanted to be in the game business."
Game companies at the time were numerous, and the larger the game company, the less likely a new employee would be able to have a hand in actual game development. Niikawa learned of the existence of Nipponichi Software from an ad in a gaming magazine for one of their games. Upon visiting the company, he found it to be small enough (Nipponichi Software had only 10 employees at the time) that he thought he might be able to do what he wanted there. Said Niikawa, "I found out later that the ad I saw was the only ad Nipponichi Software had placed in a magazine at the time. I just happened to see the only ad and sent in an application and was accepted. You never know when serendipity will happen."
I guess we can thank Square Enix for Disgaea. Thanks, Square Enix!

Comments about Hal Leonard Megadeth Rust In Peace Guitar Tab Songbook:
I have owned this tab book for several years now. My biggest complaint about this particular tab book, compared to all the others i own, is that every song is written out completely, unlike more recent Tablature publications. Every single song is written out bar for bar, no shorthand notes such as "Play Rhy. Fig 1 (4 times)", with the exception of the occasional side note for one-time fills and such.
That being said, when first learning a song that has multiple D.S. and Coda skips, it can be frustrating to play through a section, but have to stop to go back to another section, play through it and jump to the next section several pages later, Especially in the longer songs, i.e. Holy Wars, Hangar 18, and Rust in Peace.
On the plus side, most of the tabs themselves sound accurate when played in context, like along with the recorded song, but there are notable printing errors in the copy I own, such as two distinctly different patterns printed together in the same set of bars that are NOT supposed to be played as such (check out the end of Holy Wars and Hangar 18 if you do own this version).
I have learned how to play most of the album from this book alone, and referred to other tabs available elsewhere. As i said, the biggest downside is merely how the book was printed, not the transcriptions themselves.
Comments about Hal Leonard Megadeth Rust In Peace Guitar Tab Songbook:
I would say that about 85% of the Rust in Peace Guitar Tab Songbook is accurate. There are some very aggrivating problems regarding the accuracy of the tabs. Do not put complete trust in this book, trust your ears. If you think something doesn't sound right, it probably isn't. However, most of the tabs will get you to where you're going. Some of them, however, you will need to reference to other tabs from different sources to get the song down the way it should be.
Comments about Hal Leonard Megadeth Rust In Peace Guitar Tab Songbook:
Megadeth's best album is in your hands. All of the songs are great. I owned it for a week and i already learned Holy Wars (except for the solos). the only downfall is the price
Comments about Hal Leonard Megadeth Rust In Peace Guitar Tab Songbook:
I got this for my birthday and so far it's pretty good. I noticed though that for some songs the solos arent 100%, but they're played so quick you can't really tell, and I also noticed that for the verses on Holy Wars that the chords on it are off, but it's the same story as the solos. Overall it's pretty accurate and it's the only tabook for this album out there that I know of.
Comments about Hal Leonard Megadeth Rust In Peace Guitar Tab Songbook:
It is tough to learn from the book somewhat but that is only because I suck and megadeth has awsome guitar especially in this album.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Complacency is dangerous, so it was no surprise to see some market jitters ahead of Sunday's referendum that saw, as expected, citizens of the Crimea region vote to secede from Ukraine, setting the stage for the return of the Black Sea peninsula to Russia.
Amid tensions between Ukraine and Russia, the vote produced what most observers saw as a foregone conclusion: Reunification with Russia.
Late Sunday exit polls showed 93% of voters in Crimea chose to secede from Ukraine and rejoin Russia. The U.S. immediately said the vote violated Ukraine's constitution and was held under "threats of violence and intimidation from a Russian military intervention that violates international law."
Ukraine and the European Union also contend the referendum was illegal. But most observers expect Russia to move quickly to reabsorb the region following the ballot. Many also see little prospect for long-lasting market turmoil barring a significant escalation of tensions or violence, with the U.S. and Western powers in position to do little beyond imposing sanctions on Moscow.
A vote in favor of rejoining Russia would likely be followed by a round of U.S.- and European-led sanctions against Moscow. But that scenario is already "baked in the cake" from a market perspective, said Ed Lalanne, strategist at Macro Risk Advisors, a New York firm that advises institutional investors.
U.S. stocks fell ahead of the vote, with the S&P 500 SPX, +0.07% and the Dow DJIA, +0.20% posting their biggest weekly declines since late January. While analysts cited jitters over Ukraine as a factor, investors are also weighing signs of a slowdown in China and gauging the Federal Reserve's effort to scale back monetary stimulus. Reports Thursday that Russia had massed troops and armored vehicles on Ukraine's eastern border didn't help the tone.
Gold and oil futures both gained ground on Friday, though oil posted a weekly decline. Talks between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov didn't produce a breakthrough.
Equity markets in the U.S. and elsewhere are unlikely to react much to Sunday's expected result, Lalanne said. However, any sign Russia is preparing for military action with designs beyond the Crimea to other predominantly Russian-speaking portions of Ukraine or a round of heavier-than-expected Western sanctions that prompt a harsh response from Moscow would be likely to create turmoil.
Indeed, Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist at BlackRock, noted that while events in Ukraine temporarily sent markets reeling earlier this month, stocks rebounded within 48 hours to set new highs.
"Does this suggest that events in Ukraine don't matter to markets? The short answer is no," Koesterich said, in a note. "However, investors are unlikely to respond to the events in Ukraine without a significant escalation in violence or clear evidence linking the events to the global economy, such as a disruption of oil or gas markets."
With that in mind, here's a look at how markets could react to Sunday's vote:
Let's start with oil and natural gas. Both jumped in late February and early March as tensions rose and Russian-backed forces took control of the regional parliament and swarmed Crimea. Memories of how Russia twice shut off natural-gas exports to Ukraine in the last decade were briefly revived. But Nymex WTI crude has since sunk back below $100 a barrel, while gas futures have also retreated.
Nymex April crude futures US:CLJ4 rose 69 cents, or 0.7%, to settle at $98.89 a barrel, but futures lost around 3.6% this week on a nearby-contract basis, undercut by China worries.
"On the oil side, Crimea is a mild form of risk premium supportive to U.S. crude and slightly supportive to Brent," said Richard Hastings, macro strategist at Global Hunter Securities.
The U.S. government on Wednesday announced it would make a "test" sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a move some commentators viewed as a warning to Moscow, though many industry observers dismissed the measure as a purely technical operation.

"If commentators were right in seeing this as a signal to Russia, we would tend to say that this signal will be too weak to reach the Kremlin. It would be a different story if crude exports were to be allowed (temporarily), as this should effectively pressure the Brent/Urals complex by helping Europe to decrease its dependence on crude imports from the East," wrote analysts at JBC Energy.
If there is a market likely to do something "crazy" in the aftermath of the vote, it's crude oil, Lalanne said, emphasizing, though, that any strong reaction remains unlikely.
The yellow metal is a traditional safe haven. April gold rose $6.60, or 0.5%, on Friday to settle at $1,379 an ounce. Gold saw a 3% weekly advance, contributing to its 2014 rebound, but analysts remain reluctant to fully tie recent strength to worries over Crimea.

Race to 100, 10 ball.
First night of three started Friday and went til someone got 35 (Shane leads 35 to 19, after Dennis had cut it to a 5 or 6 game difference by halftime).
They run each night's match on a repeat loop until the next match day. Shane makes 2-4 on the break and then has been on fire to get out, handling the tight Diamond pockets like they were bar-box bucket pockets. Dennis stayed with a center table break at medium speed to mixed and/or poor results. After the match he stayed and practiced his breaking, harder.
Shane had Alex down in a prior race to 100 and Alex came back (perhaps from not as far back, however). Both commentators say Dennis must improve his break results or he will have no chance, and I must agree with that.
I finally got the laptop up to the big screen tv, and it's a great look up there. Highly recommend it, and you cannot ask for a better pairing to watch.

NEWTON FALLS Solving the hamlets long-standing sewage problems has become paramount, with emergency improvements planned for this fall in anticipation of the permanent shut-down of Newton Falls Fine Paper.
The mills going to stop accommodating Swill Hill, said Dianne M. Goldie, a resident whose house is hooked to the mills sewage treatment system. Theres going to be a delicate situation.
About 15 houses in the hamlet are part of the system the mill used for its own dirty water. One area of the hamlet earned the nickname of Swill Hill.
On a hot day, you can smell it, Ms. Goldie said.
A plan has been in the works since 2007 to build a system that would handle all of the hamlets 130 potential users.
A majority of the on-site systems are failing, said Dustin J. Clark, an engineer with the consulting firm of Barton & Loguidice, Watertown. Thats been demonstrated consistently over the last 20 years.
Small lot sizes and bedrock make it difficult for individual septic systems to work.
Funding has been secured for construction next year of the $4.3 million hamlet-wide system from grants, principal forgiveness, and an interest-free loan from state and federal sources. The design is being adjusted since the mills closing will reduce the size needed. The projected initial annual cost per user remains at $577, Mr. Clark said.
I think it will go forward, no problem, said Charles R. Hooven, who was appointed Clifton supervisor in August. Everybody involved seems to think this is the best way to go.
The work could not come soon enough for Nicole L. Knable and Blake R. Peabody, who bought a house that had stood vacant for years, little knowing the problem that awaited them. The house on County Route 60 toward the end of the line operated by the paper plant was once the mills guest house, Mr. Peabody said.
Almost immediately, the couple faced a sewage backup in the cellar that spread to their kitchen sink and overflowed a toilet.
It ruined a lot of things, Mr. Peabody said.
A rented drain cleaner had little effect while the family used buckets for toilets, so Mr. Peabody dug a 4-foot-deep trench until he found the exterior pipe and broke it so the sewage could drain out of his house.
Its slowly receding, he said.
Perhaps more frustrating than the sewage backup was finding help.
The town said its the mills problem, Mr. Peabody said. The mill said its the towns problem.
They called St. Lawrence County Public Health, the state Health Department, the Adirondack Park Agency, the DEC and wrote letters to politicians.
On Tuesday, they received a letter from Clifton attorney Marcia L. LeMay that a temporary holding tank would be put in place pending installation of the new system.
Mr. Peabodys problem is probably caused by a blockage in the pipe, Mr. Clark said.
Its one of many issues in the system, he said. This is a hurdle but well accommodate it. Now it becomes an emergency improvement.
The 10,000-gallon tank will be used somewhere in the permanent system, Mr. Clark said.
The paper mill remains open but not operating as liquidation of its equipment continues.
A spokesman for its parent company, Scotia Investments, Halifax, Nova Scotia, did not return a call. The DEC has not yet received a closure plan, due at least 60 days before its implementation, DEC spokesman Stephen W. Litwhiler said.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Last year, in a one-of-a-kind program, a project to place a flower on every grave in Carbon County's cemeteries on or near Memorial Day was started. The idea sprang from the fact that many graves do not get the yearly decorations others do because families have moved away, died off or some people just never had anyone who took care of their last resting place.
In the end, more than 1,500 volunteers from the county participated in the program either making flowers (with materials provided by the Sun Advocate) or by placing those remembrances on graves in the week before Memorial Day. During the two months before the holiday, many, many people and businesses contributed time and money to the project.
During the days the Sun Advocate was sponsoring that project, the paper got a lot of inquiries from Emery County residents who saw it and they asked "Could we do that too?" Last year the paper's staff had their hands full just arranging for the project they had bitten off, so I told those who asked me, "wait 'till next year."
Well, now next year is here and with this article we are announcing a No Grave Unadorned project that will cover both counties this year. The project will have joint sponsorship from both the Emery Progress and the Sun Advocate.
This project is for both counties' residents to pay homage to those that built their community, regardless of what part they played in its history. Currently newspaper personnel are mapping out the entire project, but we need everyone's help.
First, this year, we have a goal of making 40,000 flowers for the two county area. A "clock" with the flower countdown will appear on the front page of the Sun Advocate in each issue telling residents where we are at concerning that goal. Last year everyone from individuals to civic groups to church groups to schools helped us achieve our goal and then some. We will also keep you updated with a small article on how the project is going in each edition of the Sun Advocate.
Flowers will be placed on graves starting on Saturday, May 21. The efforts will continue through the evening of May 27, just in time to finish for the Memorial Day weekend.
The project is a true gift we as current residents of the area can give to those that created, built and helped our communities to prosper.
I hope all of you can participate, even in a small way, by either making flowers or placing them on the graves.
For information on volunteering or for contributing to the effort please call Shayla Winder at (435) 637-0732.

Yeah, look at the FA class. It's pathetic that Cesar is probably the best option for us out of all of them. We could go a completely different direction and sign Uribe, but his defense is so horrendous that his bat does not make up for it. I think a platoon of Cesar and Lugo might work. Lugo's proven to be a nugget of sorts for us. And I'm not ready to give up on Andino yet.
Yeah I'm not one of those guys that will sacrifice defense for offense in the middle INF. The Cards are in it every year and they pretty much only go with D up the middle. Lugo has done OK as a MIF sub, but that's about the best you'll get out of him, and Andino was a AAA player before we gave him a shot, then this year making 25+ errors at AAA was enough to black list him from the roster for me. It's not like he hits like Uribe even.
Andino's been good so far in September though. It's probably the same false hope that Hernandez gave us a few years ago, but it's still hope. He's a better hitter than Cesar, but that's not saying much.
Yeah a little better with the bat, but not much, but yeah I think it's false hope. I mean he passed through waivers and NO one took a chance on a cheap MIF prospect with semi-decent bat, that should tell you something's off.

Chicago Fire
Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On the response by the team to a tough draw
"Obviously very disappointed to not come away with 3 points today, especially going 2-1 down in the game, fighting back to 2-2, and having a penalty kick with no time left; I think it was almost storybook, but it would've been great for us to win the game in that manner. Having said that, for a neutral, great game to watch; you guys are watching it, it's a difficult pitch, we need to sort that out. Other than that, I had a talk with the guys at halftime. I questioned them a little bit about 'Did we really want to win? Did we really fancy our chances to come back into this game?' I thought we responded well, I thought we showed heart, and that's all I'm asking for, and we had a chance to win the game. So, disappointed we didn't win it, but all in all, maybe our luck could turn in the next game."
On Philadelphia's second goal and set pieces
"Well, I think the set-up, to be honest, a very good service, it's set up to do that: you're aiming for the back post, you're getting runners across the goal and goalkeeper. It either bounces and goes in the far post, or someone gets a touch, so it was a great service. We've been really, really poor; and I wouldn't say it's just individual stuff, but really poor on set plays generally, conceding goals. We have to clean that up, and it's something that we've been working on, we've looked a little bit better at it, but it's still something that's hurting us, so we need to address it and keep going. Again, I go back to the last 10 minutes of the game, and we're pushing to try and get something out of it, and I'd like to say I'm proud of the guys, the way they kept going in a difficult match, and didn't lie down and die, didn't accept the tie. We tried to win the match, and you'll be talking to Mike [Magee] later on, he'd love to have that back. Listen, penalty kicks are difficult, it's a precious situation, and sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't. I just saw it, and the kid [Philadelphia goalkeeper Zac MacMath] made a great save on it, so, tough."
On the issues behind set pieces
"Second balls. We talked about it, we've shown them, we've worked on it in training. You can't force us to be like that, but you can make habits out of it, so we'll just keep working on it. We'll address it again on Monday, we'll go over video, we'll go over it in training, we'll talk about being alert when the ball is bouncing about, getting to errors. It's dangerous, it's not always about staying with your guy, it's about heading the ball out, and I think we kind of get a little bit caught with 'I've got my fellow, but in the end, you could've helped out and cleared the ball.' So, good service, I thought it was a good service by the fellow [Philadelphia midfielder Leonardo Fernandes], and I think that in the end, we couldn't deal with it; but it was a pretty good goal on their behalf."
On the performance by the Fire midfield
"I really think, and I'm not blaming the pitch, but we couldn't really get into rhythm, especially in the first half, to play any stuff we wanted to. I went with Matt [Watson] and Jeff [Larentowicz] because I felt the center of that park is strong with Maurice Edu and [Brian] Carroll, so I wanted to match up with them, and I thought Patrick [Nyarko] would be a good matchup for anybody wide…I thought he had a good first half, he's not played for a little bit, and I thought he did well. I thought the matchups were good. Young Harry [Shipp] plays a little bit inside, so I wanted to maybe have a little bit of balance. I thought we played great for 20 minutes, to be honest…we scored a goal early, we could've gotten the second one. All in all, formations are formations. What I will say, is that subs made a difference again, and that's why they're there; like I always say, it's about guys that don't play, or substitutes in the match, to be ready to go, because you are the difference in the match. I thought Dilly [Duka], Juan [Luis Anangono], and Alex made a difference, I think that in the end, it's not just the 11 starters, it's everybody that contributes."
On learning more about the team and looking for the right team to field
"I think so. We've played preseason games, but in the end, it doesn't really matter, there's nothing on those games. These are the games, four points, that matter. I'm still learning about a lot of players, I'm still learning about the squad. We're unbeaten in four, by the way, so that for me is always a good thing for a coach. We haven't won in five, which is not a good thing, so I try to look positive; we have to look for the next game. I thought we did enough to win this match today; I'm not saying that Philly weren't very good or anything, which they were, but I felt in the end we pushed, we had two really good chances to score late, Mike having both of them, the penalty kick and the left footed shot. I think it would've been a deserved win. We're not far off, we have to keep going and not worry about not winning, because if you start worrying about it, you won't play well; so, it's my job to make sure that they don't worry about it, take the pressure off them and just get them to play, and the wins will come once we get that."
Mike Magee, Chicago Fire Forward
On what he saw on the penalty kick:
"I saw the goalie save it, which was unfortunate, and then I tried to tap it in and it was saved again. Obviously it was more his moment than mine."
On his goal:
"It's hard to talk about that to be honest. It's good to get the monkey off my back, but the only thing on my mind is not winning. I had a pretty sweet opportunity to be the hero, but it wasn't meant to be I guess."
On another draw:
"We want to win, and we need to win at home to be a successful team. I hate to lose more than I love to win, which is pretty cliché, but as long as we're not dropping games at home I feel like we're heading in the right direction. Sometimes when you squeak out games you don't deserve to win it's unjust, but tonight we deserved to win and we deserved three points. We're not getting it but I feel like it's going to translate."
On the importance of getting the first win:
"The first one is the hardest. I feel like the longer you go without winning, your confidence goes down, plays become harder and you over-think everything. Sometimes when you're winning, plays become easy because you don't care if you lose. The first win would have been perfect for us tonight. The stars were aligned for it and it didn't happen."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire Midfielder
On midfield's performance:
"It's another example of how we're not getting beat in open play. I think we had a very solid scouting report coming in and I think we did well to shut it down. We gave up some fouls in dangerous places and they scored on restarts."
On playing his partnership with Watson:
"It's good. Matt's an honest guy, he's going to run all day long and he's been fantastic since he's gotten here. He's playing right back where he's never played before. We put him in the midfield, where he's more natural, and he'll run and cover ground and do all those things. Whatever the coaches decide going forward, it's good, if it's Matt, then great."
On what the team needs to do to get a win:
"Once we get a lead, we need to hold onto it. I think every game we've tied, we've been ahead and we haven't held on. It's all about having a consistent performance the whole game. In the first half we played well, then we had a lull and gave up goals."
On the emotions on how the game ended:
"There's no catharsis. We continue to seem like we're there, but we're not. You try and pick a bright side and say we're not losing, we're coming back, we're fighting, the substitutes are making a difference, new guys are coming – there are a lot of positives but in the end there's a hole, there's not a win, there's not three points in the standings.
It was a cold and windy training session on Friday at Toyota Park. After the team went through their final preparations for Saturday's match vs. Philadelphia, they hurried in to join the Fire Front Office staff in wishing head coach Frank Yallop a very happy 50th birthday...
Frank was much obliged by the gesture...
Want to thank all the fire front office and staff for a fantastic birthday surprise #cf97

After picking up a point on the road in D.C. last week, the Fire are back at Toyota Park on Saturday afternoon to face the Philadelphia Union (3:30pm CT My50/TWCSC) looking for the club's first win of the season and to extend their unbeaten streak to four games.
Here are a few things to look out for from a tactical perspective…
A change on the wing? Going with a veteran over youth
In last week's match in D.C., youngster Benji Joya again started on the wing for the Fire but again failed to last the full 90 minutes in his third start in a row. Defensively, Joya left his outside back Greg Cochrane exposed on more than one occasion in the first half before Frank Yallop switched Joya to the right wing.
In the attack, Joya also found it difficult to get into the game before he was substituted in place of Patrick Nyarko. The Ghanaian had an immediate impact; setting up Qunicy Amarikwa for the equalizer after a brilliant nutmeg.
Saturday seems like a perfect game for Nyarko to get his second start in 2014 for a number of reasons. First, his speed in the attack will cause Union left back Fabinho trouble. In the Union's last two matches, the Brazilian's lack of pace has been a weak spot.
Nyarko also provides ample cover defensively, something the Fire will need against a Philly team who's tactics emphasize getting as many players forward as possible when they attack.
Bringing the strikers closer together - pushing Magee closer to the goal
In D.C., Mike Magee cut a frustrated figure, trying his best to get into the game but with not a lot of chances to influence it. Magee started in a deeper role behind Quincy Amarikwa and both players were unable to link up on many occasions throughout the match, but not for lack of trying.
Against Philly, I expect Magee to be a lot closer to his striker partner with the Fire playing more of a 4-1-3-2 role instead of a 4-1-4-1. Moving Magee further forward allows Alex to further influence the game from midfield, something he wasn't able to do in D.C.
At this point in the season, coach Yallop favors the Magee/Amarikwa partnership in the attack and in a home game, I expect a formation that fosters as much interplay between the pair as possible.
Stifling the Union attack - limiting opportunities for
Jack Mac
In last week's match away to Montreal, striker
Jack McInerney caused major problems when he was able to get on the end of through balls from the Philly midfield.
In the attack, players like Le Toux and creative mid Vincent Nogueira are always looking to play
McInerney in behind while U.S. international Maurice Edu can also do the same from his deeper midfield role.
While much of the focus will be on
McInerney, Brazilian Leonardo Fernandez has impressed coming off the bench in Philly's last two matches, scoring in one, and it would be no surprise to see him on the pitch from the start on Saturday.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Jack McInerney was traded to the Montreal Impact in exchange for Andrew Wenger Friday morning, hence his name being struck through. It is not known at time of edit if Wenger will join the Union in Chicago for Saturday's match.
Prediction: The Fire will finally get a first win of the season - 2-1 with goals from Quincy Amarikwa and Harry Shipp.

From Brandon Marshall to Ron Harper, and Ozzie Guillen to Richard Dent, the new Harry Caray's Chicago Sports Museum and Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch at Water Tower Place was packed with familiar faces of Chicago sports' past and present on Tuesday night. You can add Chicago Fire's Mike Magee to that mix, as well.
Joined by teammates Quincy Amarikwa and Gonzalo Segares at the museum's VIP grand opening, the 2013 MLS MVP checked out various displays of Chicago sports memorabilia, among which was his own game-worn Fire jersey sitting in a glass case next to other jerseys worn by fellow Chicago professional athletes.
Magee's jersey wasn't the only Fire representation in the museum; Brian McBride's game-worn Fire jersey also sits among an elite group of Chicago sports gear, including Derrick Rose's Simeon High School jersey.
After exploring and engaging in several interactive sports displays, Magee, Amarikwa and Segares enjoyed an evening of Chicago sports camaraderie, chatting and mingling with a few fellow professional athletes and celebrities from area (such as James Denton and Billy Zane).
Magee even managed to reel in new Fire fans, including Brandon Marshall and Jarrett Payton as well as catching up with Fire fan Ozzie Guillen, who expressed interest in checking out Chicago's most recent MVP in action soon.
Outside a bar at halftime, one team was up a man and four goals. The crowd outside was split, not between teams but between ideals. Who would go back to watch the second half? It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the beginning of spring and a few of us wanted to go sit in a park. The game was all but over. But for some reason, everybody followed one guy back in, back to their seats at the bar. "It's part of the contract," he said. "It's what we do."
What contract? It's the contract we sign as fans. The contract to watch and be a part of the sport in America. But what responsibility do we have to the game? What do we owe it? Are we ever allowed our Saturday afternoons?
My annual fan contracts have evolved over the years with regards to the Fire and the sport of soccer in general. Whereas I used to sign up for the atmosphere, or the results themselves, now I sign for the athletics, the ideas, and the story of the competition. Sometimes, I even take my Saturday afternoons soccer-free.
I don't have to sing or cry anymore. I salute those fans, those who sign the emotional fan contract. They're stronger than I. They're the ones singing at Toyota Park against Red Bulls in the cold. They're the ones proving the word fan comes from fanatic. They're the ones spending hours upon hours on tifo or travelling all over the country, dealing with airports and buses and Kansas City. Those fans carry the club. They're as much a part of the team as the players.
- TIFO TIMELAPSE: The work put in to create home opener tifo
But then, I'm not one of them. I'm a different kind of fan. I'm a supporter, in the true sense of that word. I want the team to do well and I want to support it towards its goals. My contract with the team is to be a part of that progression.
Nowadays, that supporter contracts costs me two things: my money and my time. I pay to watch the games and I give my time to watch and read about my team.
But as a supporter, I can't stand the occasional debates about who the "real" fans are. They're tiresome. The truth is that it's simply difficult in MLS to figure out the "right" way to support your team. Young, and comprised of mostly young organizations, it's a unique league in the world of soccer. Doesn't it come with a different kind of contract for us to sign now as fans, supporters, consumers, and participants?
In MLS, there is for us American soccer fans the first chance in a generation to support our local team. Our team in our city. Our contract with the league and our team in the league is about something bigger. It's about the idea of growing something that is ours.
Our participation, now, is the basis of American soccer.
It's in that umbrella of growth, that fungal tarpaulin, under which we all stand together. Hipster craft beer MLS fans, soccer moms, whatever. We all struggle with our responsibility, caught between fandom and supporterdom, between Saturday afternoons and the bar - but that's ok. That's part of the uniqueness of our American soccer contract. We get to carve out our own relationships with the team and the league. Like a cartoon rumble, we define it as it defines us, and we roll together down the hill.
Some of us will go to the stadium once a year for the tailgate while others go every week out of unshakeable loyalty to the badge; some of us will go to see a new tactical development while others want to see a guy they played against in high school - the point is that we're all there. Supporters and fans, side by side.
In the end all the arguments about MLS fans are pointless because there is only one way to watch the game. It's the way that makes you want to watch, follow, and maybe buy a shirt or a ticket. That's the way we build this thing - so go and find your way.

Alright class, we've already been through what #QuincyTime is... and if you were sleeping through the lesson here it is again, but nothing really explains it better than these two GIFs below, made possible by a nice meg from Patrick Nyarko to equalize the score on Saturday...
Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On how he felt entering the match
"Confident, you know, we have not lost in two matches and I always look at the positive if I can, and you know we haven't lost in three, that's the way I look at it. We haven't won a game yet this season but again, it's not easy to win games, especially away from home in this league so we are looking forward to playing at home next weekend and hopefully we can get that in."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire Goalkeeper
On the team's defensive effort:
"I thought it was good, to be fair. I thought it was just a bit unfortunate. The second goal there was a bit of pinball action around. They got good forcing and I thought we had some similar situations where we had the ball in their box and things didn't really fall our way, but that's just the way it goes, that's soccer for you. I think we've done well and at the end of the day we've got to look at it. We got a point. We came in and I think we deserved three. We played well enough to get three, but it is just up to us to really push over that hump and turn the ties into wins."
On the tough field conditions:
"It's alright, I mean it's part of the game. We train in Chicago – it's been snowy, it's been rainy, it's been cold, so the conditions we are used to. You know, so it's nothing we don't see on a regular basis. The conditions were tough, but at the end of the day, we are professionals, it's what we signed up for and we deal with it."
Quincy Amarikwa, Chicago Fire Forward
On having three consecutive draws
"It's the third straight game we got points, I mean that's how you got to look at it. Not dropping points, especially on the road, is huge in this league. If you look at teams that make the playoffs on a regular basis, they don't lose, they at least get a draw or a win and you know that's how it goes. And if we can come away with points every single time on the road, I will take them."
On the difficult conditions
"You know, whenever it is raining like that it can get a little slick and hard to control the ball at times. You saw that last play; Pat played a good ball in behind that took a touch, on a regular field that holds up, for me today, it skips away. Just the elements you've got to deal with, and hopefully it starts clearing up everywhere across the league because everywhere we've been, the elements haven't been too kind to us."

PHILADELPHIA The town will increase its tax rate slightly to account for rising state retirement costs, according to its 2014 budget set for approval Nov. 7.
Compared with this year, Philadelphias rate will rise from 5.82 to 5.89 per $1,000 of assessed value. The total levy, or amount to be raised by property taxes, will increase by 1.9 percent, from $506,175 to $515,630. Total spending will jump by $10,465, or 1 percent, from $1,002,045 to $1,012,510.
The most notable expense in the budget is the increased contributions into the state retirement fund for four town officials and five employees of the Highway Department. The retirement expense is expected to climb by $10,900, or 21 percent, next year, from $51,900 to $62,800.
State retirement costs have increased substantially since 2012, when the town contributed $37,500 for its nine employees. Supervisor Cheryl K. Horton said those costs have forced the town to raise more in property taxes. The state expects retirement costs to drop in the coming years, she said.
We dont have the fund balance that would make up for retirement costs, but we have kept the tax rate down as much as possible, Mrs. Horton said. But the town is stable financially. Weve held our nose to the grindstone and are hoping for a better situation next year.
Sales tax revenue from Jefferson County is expected to climb from this year by $19,680, or 15 percent, from $129,290 to $148,970.
Raises were authorized in the budget for the following nine employees: two town justices, $12,000 to $12,240 (combined salary); court clerk, $6,500 to $6,630; supervisor, $18,360 to $18,730; assessor, $9,600 to $9,800; clerk, $20,400 to $20,820; assistant clerk, $9,140 to $9,330, highway superintendent, $43,860 to $44,740, and engineer, $2,000 to $4,000.
Four Town Council members, who are paid $2,500 a year, will not receive a raise for 2014.

By now, you've probably assembled the majority of your fall necessities, but having the raw goods and knowing exactly how to wear them are two totally different things! To help you build the best outfits ever, we've rounded up an excellent assortment of tastemakers to give you a little guidance. From Rashida Jones' masterful take on minimalism to Carey Mulligan's of-the-moment LBD, the muses in our October Styling Tips are equipped with accessible, interesting personal style that's sure to inspire. Read on for all the details about their darling ensembles and our suggestions on how to interpret these key looks in your own way!
TIP #1: Style a slim, knit dress with an equally chic bag.
Claudia Schiffer's personal style never fails to knock us out. From the '70s-inspired combos she favors for daytime errands to the bombshell dresses she wears for evening events, the supermodel is always enviably attired. Late last month during Milan Fashion Week, we spotted Schiffer in yet another look we love, this time a slim sweater dressÂ--specifically Salvatore Ferragamo's Wool Multicolor Bronze Knit Dress ($870, 212.754.5200)Â--in a yummy cocoa color. Her selection is refined, completely current, and looks marvelous styled with our favorite new accessory, the Ferragamo W Bag ($2850) in a complementary chocolate suede and saddle leather combination. If you're seeking a less pricey alternative to Schiffer's sweet selection, we've found a few options for you. Ralph Lauren Blue Label's Turtleneck Sweater Dress ($398) in Autumn Heather is one excellent choice, or you could pick up The Limited's Cowl Sweater Dress ($80) in Mocha Brown. Additionally, we highly recommend checking out Talbots' Turtleneck Sweater Dress ($149), which comes in a number of wonderfully rich colors!
TIP #2: Wear a ladylike jacket with your worn-in skinnies.
Ladylike dressing is one of the most buzzed about trends for fall, but that doesn't mean it's all kitten heels and full skirts. You can still hint at your girly side by simply incorporating a sophisticated, tailored, feminine jacket into your wardrobe. In addition to wearing the ladylike jacket with a classic pencil skirt, you can always give this key piece a downtown twist by pairing it with your favorite distressed skinny jeans, as model Veronica Varekova did at the première of Stone at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City earlier this month. To approximate her outfit, finding an equally refined and demure jacket is essential. Fortunately, your options aren't Chanel or nothing; there are lots of reasonably priced styles out there. As for the ones that top our list, be sure to check out J. Crew's Tweed Tatum Jacket ($278), Topshop's PU Trim Tweed Cropped Jacket ($135), and By Malene Birger's Jasmina Tweed Jacket ($635). The latter is a bit more of an investment, but it's definitely worth it! Style any of these options with your favorite worn-in skinny jeansÂ--bonus points if they're a great gray colorÂ--and you'll have an MOD-inspired outfit you're sure to love.
TIP #3: Mix a prim top with a racier leather skirt.
We love the new minimalism trend, especially when it's executed perfectly. For an uber-chic example of how to wear it, we suggest taking a look at the lovely Rashida Jones and the impeccable ensemble she wore to Proenza Schouler's S/S 11 show in New York last month. Jones paired a Proenza Schouler Button Down Shirt ($490) with the label's black leather skirt, Rag & Bone Harrow Boots ($450, 212.278.8214), and a classic Helmut Lang overcoat for an outfit that's understated, cool, and seriously chicÂ--much like the actress herself! To emulate this fabulous fall ensemble, you simply need a few easy pieces, starting with Cynthia Steffe's Pleated Leather Skirt ($395). Pair the swirly leather skirt with a crisp and classic white button-up shirt, like Theory's Larissa Top ($190) or Character Hero's Pleated Back Button-Down Tunic ($54), and a timeless overcoat (ASOS White's Elbow Crombie Coat ($202) and Whistles' Celeste Crombie Coat ($379) are both great options), and you'll be well on your way to getting Jones' must-try look!
TIP #4: Pair bold cocktail shorts with sleek and solid neutrals.
One of our key shopping mantras is to make sure whatever we buy can we worn in multiple ways and for a number of occasions, which is why we were so excited to see jewelry designer/society swan Eugenie Niarchos demonstrating the versatility of a great pair of cocktail shorts. Snapped at the Moncler fashion show in Paris a couple of weeks ago, Niarchos paired her tiger-print cocktail shorts with a simple camel sweater, black tights, and ankle boots for a terrific transitional outfit. To mimic her statement style, pick up either Dallin Chase's Chester Animal Print Shorts ($122) or ASOS' Leopard Print Jersey Culottes ($27) and style them with matte opaque tights and a simple, neutral, solid-colored sweater or top for a fresh daytime look.
TIP # 5: Break out the black lace for evening events.
While black lace used to conjure up visions of gothic princesses, lately designers are making this material look more elegant by using it to create incredibly striking cocktail dresses. Take Carey Mulligan, for example: last month at a special screening of Never Let Me Go at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, the actress looked memorizing in a black lace Elie Saab frock from the F/W 10 collection. We love the fact that Mulligan's pick has a peek-a-boo bodice; it makes the full-skirted silhouette a little more modern. If you're ready to add a little lace to your next night-out ensemble, we have some suggestions for you! Topshop's Peter Pan Swing Lace Dress ($100) has three-quarter length sleeves that are quite nice, or you could go for Winter Kate's Anais Mini Lace Dress ($165), which features a high neckline and a body-conscious fit. Want something that has a touch more of Mulligan's fifties vibe? Try the full-skirted Solid Lace Neck Dress (98) by Free People; it definitely has a likeminded vintage spirit. If you'd rather just add a lace blouse to your favorite skirt or trousers, we have three recommendations for you as well: Equipment's Lace Crescendo Blouse ($188), Nasty Gal's Lace Sweetheart Top ($45), or Tibi's Short-Sleeved Lace Top ($230). Each style is slightly different, so you're sure to find the perfect pick for your personal style!
TIP #6: Be sure to buy a classic camel coat this fall.
If there's one outerwear essential for fall, it's definitely the camel coat. This timeless staple is sure to work with anyone's wardrobeÂ--no matter what your personal style is like! In addition to complimenting fall's ladylike and minimalist looks, the camel coat is also an excellent partner for more casual outfits, as Alexa Chung so deftly demonstrates. Spotted earlier this month leaving the a preview party at Channel 4 in London, Chung looked ever-so-cute in her own Alexa Chung for Madewell Greta Coat ($275) in Sawdust with Karen Walker's Balloon Sweatshirt ($136), skinnies, red ballet flats, and a mahogany Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola Bag ($3730, 866.VUITTON). While there are lots of designer iterations this season, as we've discussed, you donÂ't need to invest your life's savings to get a similarly cool coat. Whistles' Deanne Double Breasted Coat ($328) is a great option, as is Ann Taylor's Double Breasted Coat ($398); either one will look current for seasons to come!

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Mike Ribeiro's goal 9:24 into overtime gave the Washington Capitals the upper hand once more in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the New York Rangers, with the Southeast Division champs taking a 2-1 decision in a pivotal Game 5 clash from the Verizon Center.
The third-seeded Capitals returned home off back-to-back 4-3 losses in New York that evened the set, but will head back to Madison Square Garden on Sunday with a chance to advance thanks to a stout defensive effort headed by goaltender Braden Holtby.
Holtby surrendered a goal to Brian Boyle in the game's first minute, his lone blemish in a sharp 24-save performance. Joel Ward contributed a power-play tally for Washington, which topped the Rangers at the Verizon Center for the 10th time in the past 11 postseason meetings between the clubs.
Henrik Lundqvist came up with 33 saves for New York.
