Companion forum thread to:2008 LuxuryLite Big Survival Stik Walking Staff REVIEW
thanks doug for the lovely demo on the trail defense system
With the Stik and wearing an OR Ninjaclava, you'd be set for night stealth missions on the trail.
oh man, that video is classic. Thanks for the laugh...
Will the knife section of the staff function as a trowel? It looks like it would work well, any trials? I have the need to poo more often than defend myself from animals! ;)
Brill video! funny!Yer looks like it would be better used as a troul than a knife, and there ant much of killer animals here in the uk!But those ninjas are scary!Like to try one out myself as i dont allways use trekking poles.Anyone else used stafs on the trail??Or Prefer them to poles??
Edited by thedanwhalley on 02/20/2008 11:27:50 MST.
How about a barbed fork so it can be used to spear fish?
I have one of these. The tolerances are pretty tight. I think if the knife was used as a trowel it would quickly develop burrs and/or get gunked up to the point that it couldn't be inserted in the handle, or would bind if it did. Mine is getting this way just due to its age.
Oh my, Doug. I'm speechless. Don
Now we will have to see more videos from you Doug! LOL! Great review with a funny twist! he he
there are now ferral wild boar now in ukthese have attacked people!traditionally (norman times) a spear was usedto kill boar, by putting ones foot on blunt endof spear and pointing the sharp end towardsthe chest of the charging boar. good luckllew-oswestry, uk

Hi Ryan,I agree with Dean. I did use it for a trowel and it worked great but it got pretty gunked up. I don't think this is the ideal tool for that job.However, I found that in our loose Northwest soil that the pole itself was stiff enough to dig a pit. I'm not sure about all soils but the poles was really good for that.Cheers,Doug
Thanks everyone! This was defnitely the most fun review I've done- making that video was a blast! You should see the outtakes!I'm excited for the possibility of more video on BackpackingLight. I'm sure you'll see more in the future (whether they will include trail ninjas or not is another story!)Have a good one!Doug
I was pleased to see that the walking staff, or what used to be called an alpenstock, is still around. My old hickory one has seen considerable service over the years and even deterred an aggressive raccoon once.What I was most pleased about, however, was the lack of a big pointy spike on the end that is commonly found on hiking poles. Somehow, seeing a trail perforated by a gazillion little holes, then tilled up, then eroded away by rain just grates my sesibilities about the Leave No Trace (LNT) ethic that we're all suppossed to be aware of. I put a rubber cap (for canes) that can be had at any drug store on mine, and not only does it not encourage trail erosion, but it has a grip on rock superior to that of a steel spike.
I have one of the earlier models of the LL walking staff and I love it, think it's now 3-4 years old and still going strong...can't remember when I purchased it but I still haven't broken it!!!Dimensions are 1/ pole diameter 1/2inch (1.2cm), 2/ pole length 64inches (160cm)3/ pole weight 5.5oz4/ same prussik cord5/ breaks down into x3 sections longest being 26inches (65cm)Things I like1/ Breaks down into a manageable size for travelling.....can put into or onto my pack when transiting esp on air flights....2/ Extra length works well when going down steep inclines.........move the prussik handle higher up the pole for better ergonomic action4/ Extra length works well with some shelter set ups.........i.e BD Megalite Shelter for the central pole. The pole breaks down to use it with shelters that need a lesser pole height5/ Seems to have the strength to support full bodyweight........I've lost my balance a many times and had to put my full bodyweight on the pole and while it bent and bent it didn't break. However I'm always conscious of the top end of the pole spearing into me if I fell or it collapsed and have put a rubber cap on the top end of the pole........weight gain of .5oz. I use a cap that usually goes over the end of trekking poles.The hollow aluminium end does collect some dirt, but I've now combined that with expoy and closed the end so it doesn't collect new dirt to cross contaminate the areas I'm travelling. The aluminium end piece has good grip on all surfaces and after 3-4 years does not show excessive wear i.e. decrease in usable lengthI agree with previous posts that when using the LL pole I do not walk as fast as when I'm using my Gossamer Gear Lightreks (5.5oz for the pair). I still walk faster and more comfortably with either than using nothing, plus I have my shelter pole/poles thus multi tasking.....an essential for lightweight trekkingI think LL weakened when discontinuing my model pole and went with the big brother model..............now they should be called.......Moderately Lite
"I think LL weakened when discontinuing my model pole and went with the big brother model..............now they should be called.......Moderately Lite"TiGoat, unfortunately, discontinued their CF Staffs as well. They had a shorter, smaller diameter one as well... IIRC, the main difference between TiGoat and LL is that the TiGoats were lighter and non-collapsible...
I would think that some jurisdictions would consider this a concealed weapon of the cane sword type.
Greetings Doug. Kudos for another example of what we've come to expect from BPL reviews: Factually correct, Informative and Entertaining. Good Job!A personal note: I do *not* have *any* vested interest in re LuxuryLite. Over the years I have purchased, used and abused, almost every product LL have ever made available to General Public. And a few not available to the GP. ;-) I am what most would call a "loyal customer." But I am not biased and I have disagreed strongly w/Bruce on more than one occasion. But I do like and respect the man and the staff @LL.WTS, I am indeed an expert when it comes to backpacking in general and LL gear in particular. So I do hope this post helps clarify, inform and entertain. The latter is doubtful; i'm not as good a writer as you are Doug.First some subjective ops: 1) Doug Johnson wrote; "Hand strap is comfortable for all-day treks." "... although this is not a trekking pole." "Then, again, this is not a trekking pole and it serves a slightly different purpose." "... trekking poles ... [are] more efficient when making direct ascents ..."I disagree that the Stik is not a trekking pole. In fact you kinda/sorta disagreed w/yourself. As quoted in the first sentence above. 1a) What is a trekking pole? A pole one uses while trekking. Duh! So, Doug this *is* a trekking pole.1b) I also disagree that the Stik is less efficient during ascents. The stability and ruggedness afforded by Stiks is unmatched (as you wrote)! And during descents, when (IMEO) the worst slips occur .... well, there's none better, if fitted w/a standard basket/tip!1c) The *one handed,* on the fly, adjustability afforded by the prussik strap on the Stik is True Bleeding Genius! Specially on ascents/descents and hilly terrain in general. IMEO it is *the one* attribute which sets the Stiks apart from the rest.Think how often one foregoes the *security* and convenience of properly adjusting a standard trekking pole because it's a PITA to stop in the middle of a descent and lengthen one's trekking pole. Even Flicklocks are usually used as "set and forget" due to the hassle. The prussik strap also allows quick and easy secure hanging of a multitude of items; including one's pack. And there's more .... for another post. ;-)2) You noted that the cylindrical tips are not as positive as standard tips. I agree. Which is why on my Stiks I have two complete sets of tips and baskets. One I made myself out of LL sourced parts. And one, slightly larger, set which Bruce made later for me. They Work Great! I highly recommend them.3) You're not impressed w/the "Needle" and think it just adds weight. Fair enough. I use it often and think that the "Needle" is good enough to replace the 1.2 ounce trowel I used to carry. Ergo: No need for an additional item .... adding more weight than reasonable alternatives. The Needle saved me app one ounce of weight. So, works for me. :-)4) You rightly mention that the Stik is not suitable for all shelters. Which, as noted, applies to all trekking poles. ;-)But what you may not be aware of is that different Stik section lengths may be ordered. Or one could simply cut a section(s) to whatever length one prefers. The latter is of course not an option w/standard design trekking poles.Which brings me to your comparisons ....5) While it is very useful to compare products one must always keep in mind (*I* think you did, but others?) that apples and oranges have different attributes. The Stiks, like most other LL products over the years, are a Modular Concept! And they come from an MFG who is willing to build to suit. While they are heavier than UL poles, the additional weight is mitigated by the far greater degree of utility (more in that re during an upcoming followup post) and the utter reliability.The Stiks won't let you down !You might also not be aware of the fact that the first carbon fiber "Stiks" that LL built and sold, were much, much lighter. I still have two of them which I use for "Fast & Light" hikes. With LL baskets/tips. And custom sections to fit practically every UL shelter made.If you want lighter .... LuxuyLite will build them!If you want baskets/tips .... LuxuryLite will build them!Like any great inventor, innovator and entrepreneur; Bruce wants to make what people want to buy!Contact Bruce and annoy the heck out of him. Because I have a number of Lekis (rental/loaners) that i'd like to replace w/original, small diameter, CF Stiks. And the two I have left, although rugged and although they will still provide years of service .... they are pretty old. BTW, Since I don't speak for LL take my ops as being strictly personal. TIA for your understanding!Finally , of course LL products are not for everybody. But like other unique products they absolutely require a paradigm shift to fully appreciate their positive qualities. IOW; it may take a bit of time to learn how make the best use of them. Fortunately LL have one of the best satisfaction guarantees in the biz!Thx for reading this long winded post. :-)Peace,Richard.

Just like you, we are continually frustrated by the age old question, "What's for dinner?" Often we get so carried away with our quilting projects that we don't think about dinner until the family is walking in the door.
This is your opportunity to share quick and easy recipes with other quilters. Tasty recipes that call for a box of this and a box of that or use ingredients that are most likely on our kitchen shelves are always a hit. We also love recipes that we can pop in the oven or crock pot in the morning and then not think about until dinner time. Of course, we would also love the recipe for those wonderful desserts that you serve your quilt group!
If you have a recipe that you would like to share, please send us your recipe and we will post it here for others to enjoy.
Happy Quilting! – Liz and Marianne

The city of San Francisco has announced that it plans to cover the cost of sex-change procedures for uninsured "transgender" residents, making it the first community in the United States to offer such a service. The Associated Press reported that the city's Health Commission voted November 6 "to create a comprehensive program for treating transgender people experiencing mental distress because of the mismatch between their bodies and their gender identities." San Francisco already offers free hormone therapy, counseling, and other health services to individuals desiring a "sex reassignment" procedure, but up until now had not offered sex-change surgery under its universal health plan.
The plan to cover the surgery came about at the request of "transgender advocates," who want mastectomies, genital reconstruction, and other procedures associated with sex "reassignment" covered under San Francisco's five-year-old universal health care plan. The Health Commission bowed to pressure from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the San Francisco-based Transgender Law Center to drop sex-change surgery from the list of procedures excluded from the city's health plan.
"All Americans, in consultation with their doctors, should be able to receive the medical care they need to live healthy lives," said Kristina Wertz, program director of the Transgender Law Center. "That's why we applaud San Francisco's decision to allow transgender people the ability to receive the medical care they need to be healthy."
But Thomas Moyer, a San Francisco resident and author of A Conservative Survival Guide to San Francisco, pointed out the obvious impact the plan will have on the community. "Taxpayers cannot afford this," he told reporters, "as there are unintended costs and unintended consequences unrelated to the actual surgery, such as their longer-term hormone treatment, psychology needs, and other longer-term health issues."

In two years time, Maine researchers may have new insights into autism. Spring Harbor Hospital in Westbrook and Maine Medical Center Research Institute have been awarded a $1.2 million grant to study the most severe forms of autism. It's a subgroup which, as Patty Wight reports, has received little research attention in the past.
What gets Dr. Matthew Siegel (above) - a psychiatrist at Spring Harbor Hospital - out of bed every day and excited for his work with autistic children is his drive to unlock the mysteries of the disorder. But it's also what makes his job extremely challenging.
"We really don't have a good understanding of things as basic as, what is really different - what is really going on at the genetic level - between an individual who can speak, and an individual who cannot?" Siegel says. "And as basic as that sounds, we do not have a good understanding of that."
Siegel works in a special unit of Spring Harbor Hospital that is devoted exclusively to autism and developmental disabilities. Kids are admitted when they're dealing with severe emotional and behavioral problems, and they typically stay for 30 to 40 days.
"There are only 9 units like this in the whole country, that we know of," Siegel says, "and Maine happens to have one of them," - positioning Spring Harbor well, says Siegel, for research.
Though he and researchers at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute are spearheading the study, they're partnering with six of the other hospitals to gather data on severely autistic kids who are admitted for treatment: "Their emotional state, their intelligence, their communication ability, their mental health - so whether they have anxiety or depression, ecetera," Siegel says.
Researchers will also take blood samples to gather genetic data. Just as doctors and researchers hope this information will begin to explain the differences in the autism spectrum, educators are also eager to learn more about autistic children, says Jan Breton, the state director of special services in the Department of Education.
"Sometimes we have children in schools with very significant needs," Breton says, "and teachers and paraprofessionals who are needing more support, in terms of how to deal with the behaviors, the communication problems."
Breton says there are more than 2,600 school-aged children with autism in Maine. Dr. Matthew Siegel says there are no hard numbers on how many of those cases are severe, but he says generally, about a quarter of autistic kids don't develop functional language, and 30 to 45 percent have an intellectual disability. He hopes the two-year grant is just the beginning of what will become a long-term research project, benefiting anyone with autism.
"Our ultimate goal is to not only characterize them, but then understand the population well enough that we could actually begin to do treatment trials ourselves," reaching a point where that treatment - whether it's behavioral, pharmacological, or something else - is driven by the known biology of autism.
The research begins in February.

CHAMPION The race for town highway superintendent will see two Republicans squaring off in a Sept. 10 primary as incumbent John F. Sech faces challenger Louis J. Waite.
Mr. Sech ran for office with the hope of repairing roads, and that has continued to be a priority.
I wanted to get the road back in shape and keep them up to snuff with the least amount of money for the taxpayers. Also, keep the roads clean and safe in the winter, the incumbent said.
Mr. Sech, a 1972 Carthage Central High School graduate, grew up in Champion on his familys farm. He worked for five years in the town Highway Department as a maintenance equipment operator before becoming the supervisor.
Mr. Sech has been married to Cathy A. Wright for three years. Between them, they have six grandchildren. Mr. Sech has two sons: Brian, who also works for the town of Champion, and Wayne, who works for Pala Wood Services in Watertown.
Mr. Waite has thrown his hat into the ring because, he said, he believes the town needs fresh ideas.
I travel all over the state and see different things in different towns, said Mr. Waite, who is employed as a truck tire salesman for Long-Park Tire Inc. of Watertown.
Before his current job, Mr. Waite worked as a heavy-equipment mechanic on Fort Drum for eight years. He served as Champions town supervisor in 1994-95 and as the Jefferson County legislator for District 7 from 1996 to 1999.
Mr. Waite, a 1972 Copenhagen Central School graduate, has lived in Champion for more than 30 years. During that time, he has been active in the Champion Fire Company, serving for several years as fire chief. Over the years, Mr. Waite has attended a number of training sessions, including ones for leadership through his fire service.
If elected, Mr. Waite said he plans to implement rotating night shifts for the highway departments workers and said he will be available 24-7.
He has been married to Susan J. Waite for 11 years and has three sons Corey, who lives in Watertown and works for Monroe Tractor; Craig, who is a self-employed contractor living in Champion, and Kyle Overton, a painter also living in Champion and two granddaughters.

Tillman also needs to be more aggressive when he has two strikes on a batter. The nibbling at that point results in full count, center cut, fastballs that get crushed. It also costs him about 20 - 25 pitches an outing. I mean, for crying out loud, if your stuff is good enough to get the first two strikes then it's good enough to get the third one. If he ever figures that out he might be an effective ML SP; although I have my doubts he will ever trust his stuff enough.

Carmelo Anthony's Scoring Evolution
Brian DiMennaTom Ley over at Deadspin wrote about Carmelo Anthony's evolution on the offensive end of the floor. We've noted before that while Melo has drawn a lot of praise for his more willing passing this season, his assist rate is at a career low. Now, that particular statistical nugget largely fails to account for his deft passing out of double teams that has led to the ball swinging around the perimeter to open three-point shooters, something that has absolutely keyed the general free-wheeling awesomeness of the Knicks' offense this season, but it does suggest there hasn't been some kind of complete transformation in his game. He still likes to have the ball, and for good reason.
But I think Ley gets it exactly right about what has really changed about Anthony's play, and it has a lot more to do with shot selection than anything else:
Anthony's signature shot, in the past, has been the midrange jumper, usually on an isolation play after a series of jab steps. It was fun to watch him operate with that method at the elbow—shaking his defender enough to get a shot off, even though everyone knew the shot was coming—but it didn't always lead to the most efficient scoring opportunity.
This year, Anthony has traded many of those mid-range jumpers for shots at the rim and three-pointers. With 5.6 three-point attempts per game, he's averaging one whole attempt more than his previous career high, and he's hitting 42 percent of them. He's taking 6.8 shots at the rim per game, his highest level since coming to New York. His attempts in the 16-to-23-foot range—the low-efficiency part of the floor—are at a career low 4.6 per game.
Anthony's past tendency to settle for the long mid-range jumper after a series of fakes, feints, pumps or whatever else he might dream up was always the most easily criticized part of his game. Now, I think this criticism — particularly last season — may have been applied somewhat unfairly — especially by me! — as the Knicks' lack of quality point guard play and reliable secondary scorers largely left it up to Melo to try and create on his own.
But trading in the long twos for a career-high in three-point attempts has certainly boosted his efficiency, especially given that he's currently shooting a fairly outrageous 46% from deep. Again, I'm sort of inclined to the idea that there's less new about Melo's game than better teammates and more wins, but this minor change of approach has no doubt been part of the reason he's got pretty much the whole Tri-State area chanting "M-V-P" basically everywhere he goes, "Seriously, guys, I'm just trying to get some coffee."

Osceola County sheriff's detectives need the public's help in identifying an attempted kidnapping suspect.
Deputies said on January 10 around 9:05 p.m., deputies responded to the Publix Supermarket located at 2338 East Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee.
Deputies said upon arrival, they spoke with the victim who indicated he left his residence at 2419 Knightsbridge Boulevard in the Remington subdivision when he saw two unknown men waving him down at the intersection of Knightsbridge Boulevard and Owenshire Circle.
Deputies said the victim agreed to give the men a ride to Publix, but when he parked the car one of men sitting behind him pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head and demanded that he continue driving.
The victim began honking his horn and the suspects left the area. The victim was not injured during the incident, deputies said.
The victim described one of the suspects as a Hispanic male, approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall with a thin build and a birthmark or blemish on his left chin area. He was wearing black clothing, deputies said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

A state police panel of accident reconstruction experts will conclude this month its review of the July 19 fiery crash in which six people were killed on Route 11 in the town of Antwerp, the Oneida Troop D spokesman said Tuesday.
The panels report is expected to be released at the end of January, Trooper Jack L. Keller said.
The Jefferson County district attorneys office and the state police Bureau of Criminal Investigation has been awaiting a report from the accident reconstruction unit at Oneida to determine possible charges against the truck driver who caused the crash, James A. Mills Jr., 45, Myerstown, Pa. An investigator attributed Mr. Millss driver inattention as a cause of the tragedy.
Trooper Keller said the Oneida unit completed its investigation, but because of the level of severity in the accident, a panel of accident reconstruction experts from around the state convened in Albany to review Oneidas determinations.
The chain-reaction crash occurred shortly after 9 that Thursday morning at a highway repaving project just south of Fox Ranch Road. A line of southbound vehicles was stopped at the site, where Barrett Paving of Watertown, under contract with the state Department of Transportation, was doing the work.
The skidding tractor-trailer driven by Mr. Mills crashed into the rear of a car, setting off a chain reaction that involved a state DOT pickup, a 2004 Toyota RAV4 and two other trucks at the front of the line. Killed were Janet P. Dana, 69; Laurie A. Dana, 42; Caitlyn O. Dana, 14; Lauryn E. Dana, 11; Shannon M. Planty, 14; and Maryann D. Gregory, 59.
The occupant of the DOT truck, Lewis L. Lottie Jr., is recovering from serious injuries he suffered.
Among issues likely reviewed by the Albany panel is whether there were sufficient signs placed by DOT or Barrett Paving to alert motorists that they were approaching a work project.
The signs had been approved by DOT personnel before the crash and conformed to DOT standards, a state police investigator said in July.
Meanwhile, Oneidas accident reconstruction unit is involved in another Jefferson County fatality. An investigator at Lowville said filing of charges is pending completion of a probe into the Dec. 29 morning accident on Route 26 in the town of LeRay in which two women, Laurie DeShane, 43, Harrisville, and Kendra DeShane, 20, Castorland, were killed. Police said their westbound auto collided with an out-of-control eastbound vehicle driven by Heather Miller, 17, Carthage.

Our November Guest Editor, the one and only Leighton Meester, is truly an actress with star power. We absolutely revel in her role on Gossip Girl--particularly the way her character, Blair Waldorf, perpetually plots titillating public takedowns in between bites of Ladurée macaroons--but our love for Meester cannot be singularly credited to this delightful small-screen performance. Said fondness is multi-faceted, much like the actress herself. See, while most young ladies would be content to ride out their time on a hit show, Meester's too creative and talented to do just that. Rather than resting on her laurels, she's working on films like the much buzzed-about Country Strong, a drama set in the country-music world (also starring Gwyneth Paltrow), which is in limited release now and will go nationwide in January. We're guessing that Meester picked this project because the part required her sing, which leads us to yet another reason why we adore this girl: her musical talent. That's right, in addition to acting up a storm, Meester's released two singles to date and is working on her debut album too. Of course, this sort of jaw-dropping range isn't limited to Meester's career; she consistently displays the same sort of skills when it comes to her wardrobe too. Like her natural ability to portray a glorious gamut of on-screen moods, the actress/singer/trendsetter effortlessly bounces between undoubtedly stylish red-carpet looks and seriously killer off-duty ensembles. Whether she's artfully assembled in a runway frock or flawlessly demonstrating how to wear a crop top, Meester routinely wows us with her directional eye and offers us a bevy of sartorial tips from which to take note.
Considering all this, we were naturally curious--okay, waiting with baited breath--about Meester's fashion must-haves and were delighted to hear about what she's currently coveting! The cool, pared-down vibe of Proenza Schouler's Resort 11 collection is at the top of her list, particularly Look 14 and its texturally-intriguing tomboy vibe. But, like the many aspects of our Guest Editor's talent, she's also inspired by Erdem's abstract floral frocks--another one of her favorites from Resort. As for other chart-topping items setting off Meester's must-have meter, well, you'll have to read on to discover her carefully curated mix. We think it's an out-of-this-world selection and have a feeling you'll agree!
Marc Jacobs Cocoa Scallop Embroidery Dress ($1500, 212.343.1490)
As an A-lister, Meester is routinely invited to all the best high-profile events, so she needs a myriad of darling dresses at her disposal. She picked this adorable patterned Marc Jacobs dress as one of her of-the-moment essentials, a selection that would easily fit the bill for any spring garden party or celebratory luncheon. The polka dots and chocolate-and-cream palette are deliciously vintage-inspired while the scalloped, tiered skirt and mixed-and-matched prints make it feel decidedly fresh. We also think she'd like ASOS's Jewel Encrusted Chiffon Dress ($90) as an another option for a party-perfect frock.
Bulgari Save the Children Ring ($370)
Meester's daily bauble of choice seamlessly marries philanthropy with fashion. The sterling band was created by Bulgari in support of Save the Children's Rewrite the Future campaign, which brings educational programs to children affected by conflict. Through sales of this ring--plus a similar pendant and an auction of rare jewels and watches--Bulgari has raised more than eight million dollars to benefit the campaign. In short: this is an accessory you can truly feel good about wearing.
Celine Neon Yellow Python Classic Box Bag ($3950, 212.941.9656)
Meester is clearly over the moon for this striking Celine bag and how could we blame her? The structured shape is classic and refined while the neon hue makes it thrillingly fresh. Use it--or ASOS's Premium Lady Bag ($103)--to accent sleek monochromatic dresses for an elevated Celine-inspired look.
Mario Badescu Azulene Calming Mask ($18)
We love being privy to top tastemakers' beauty routines and this insider tip is just the kind of dirt--er, clean--we love to discover! Meester's go-to soothing mask is filled with chamomile extract that will comfort sensitive skin, so pick up some today if you want to get that marvelous Meester glow!
Proenza Schouler Suede Side Button Shorts($1150, 866.877.8707)
These cool, city shorts are from one of Meester's favorite Resort 2011 presentations--Proenza Schouler--a collection she adored for its unfussy aesthetic. We're thrilled that she would be sartorially fearless enough to try out high-waisted shorts and have a hunch she'd pair them with a lightweight crop top--a style she's also mad for at the moment! In addition to Meester's selection, you might also like Lover's Cord Ono Shorts ($235) for a winter-ready corduroy iteration.
YSL Sleeveless Blouse ($790) in Green Muslin
We happen to know Meester loves a verdant hue, so we weren't surprised when she selected this gorgeous green muslin shell as part of today's picks. Extraordinarily versatile, it will work well into spring, especially paired with diaphanous pleated skirts, but in the meantime we could see Ms. Meester expertly countering its ladylike look by wearing it with slick leather pants to channel her more music-industry minded persona. If you, too, are ready to go green, try A.L.C's Open Back Sleeveless Top ($143) for a less pricey alternative.
Jimmy Choo Ciara Platform Sandals ($2995)
While Meester loves her lace-up booties and cut-out heels, we magpies appreciate that she also knows the allure of a crystal-embellished shoe. The mix of textures at play--tan suede, Lucite, and sparkles galore--are fantastically elaborate and perfect for adding to the drama of her lust-worthy red-carpet frocks. You can also try Chinese Laundry's Crystal Cuff Platform Sandals ($139) or Michael Kors' Lydia Sandals ($152) for equally festive footwear choices we know Meester would approve of!
Lanvin for H&M Sunglasses ($20)
Sunglasses are a must for any lady in the limelight, so we weren't surprised that Meester decided to include a pair in her picks. Unsurprisingly, the shades she can't live without are perhaps the most in-demand style in the country right now, as they are a part of the Lanvin for H&M collaboration. The thick frame sets them apart from other high-street finds, while the classic square shape guarantees they'll compliment any ensemble, making them a very smart choice, indeed!--Liza Kaplan

They are accused of assaulting Tomarken Smith, of St. Louis, near the corner of Fourth and Market streets in Maryville around 1:20 a.m. Friday.
Smith was taken to an area hospital where he died.
Smith, 21, was a senior and studying to be a doctor. Maryville police saidtwo men assaulted Smith, whofell to the ground and hit his head.
Tomarken Smith was the youngest ofsix in his family and is the first to go to college. In addition to studying to be doctor, he was also learning to coach football. His sister said her baby brother did not deserve to die.
"I was there to take him off to college, first visits home, now we have to bury our brother," said Lakeshia Smith. "Anybody that knew him loved him he didn't deserve this."
Smith'ssistersaid he didn't have a mean bone in his body. After years of being in sports and football in particular, Tomarken wanted to be a doctor.
"That was his ultimate goal," said Lakeshia Smith. "That, and to be fly, as he would say."
Lakeshia said her brother's death hasnot only the immediate family that's mourning, but Tomarken's extended family including his brothers on the football field.
"You have to start going back through old pictures just to see that smile to try to make you get through your day," said friend and fellow Oakville High teammate Nick Shores. "I just broke down and cried because I lost a brother and a best friend and now I don't know what to do anymore, its so hard not to know that he's not there no more."
"When anything happens to any of them, it definitely, it hurts," said Tomarken's former coach, Arlee Conners. "Nothing is ever guaranteed you know everyday you have to life to your fullest and hope you touch somebody along the way in the process..."
"Anybody that knew my little brother loved him, he could light up a room with that smile," said Smith.
Lakeshia says the family is still getting together with family and figuring out the funeral arrangement plans.

Fishing success continues to improve just about everywhere. As temperatures cool, fish eat voraciously in preparation for winter. They also move out of deeper waters and may be found close to the shoreline, especially in the early morning.
Benches Reservoir - Biologist Justin Hart reports that spinners, Rapalas, Jake's and tube jigs have been very effective for 12-inch rainbow trout.
Blue Mountains - It is recommend that anglers use spinners and flies in the mornings and evenings and bait during the day for trout at Foy, Monticello, Lloyds, and Blanding 3. Pike fishermen have been trolling with crankbaits at Recapture Reservoir.
Duck Fork Reservoir - Duck Fork has been replanted with Colorado River cutthroat trout and fingerling tiger trout. Duck Fork regulations will protect the Colorado River cutthroat population for future egg collection and fish transplant operations.
The DWR hopes that this measure will help keep the Colorado River cutthroat from being listed as threatened or endangered. If that were to happen, traditional fishing in southeastern Utah could be dramatically impacted. Tiger trout will provide for sport fishing at this water, beginning late next year.
Electric Lake - Hart reports good fishing with silver Panther Martin spinners near the inlet on the upper end, where water is being pumped into the reservoir.
Cutthroat trout are generally around 12 inches. The limit at Electric Lake is four trout which may be taken on any type of bait, lure or fly. In the tributaries, the limit is two trout, which must be caught with artificial flies or lures.
Ferron Reservoir - Fishing has been good with artificial flies and bait. Anglers may take a bonus limit of four brook trout in addition to the normal trout limit at this reservoir.
Gigliotti Pond - The Gigliotti Pond was stocked with 2,000 rainbow trout. Some of them approach one-half lb. in size. Fishing has been very good.
Gooseberry Reservoir - Try PowerBait, or a night crawler-marshmallow combination.
Huntington Creek - Special regulations on Huntington Creek are as follows.
On the right fork (from Flood and Engineer's Canyon upstream to Electric Lake) only artificial flies may be used and the trout limit is two.
On the left fork, only artificial flies and lures may be used, and the harvest of brown trout is encouraged.
Huntington North Reservoir - Additional trout will be stocked this month. The bass limit is two; all largemouth bass over 12 inches must be immediately released.
Huntington Reservoir - (near the top of Huntington Canyon) ) Float tubers using wooly buggers have had good luck. Hart recommends that the bugger be stripped in deep water for best results. Tiger trout have been going around 12 inches. Bait fishermen using salmon eggs and worms off the bottom have been doing well and catching slightly larger (over 12 inches) tiger trout.
Joes Valley Reservoir - The boat ramp is now out of the water. Only hand-launched water craft can be used. In 2003, the trout limit is two. No more than one trout may be over 22 inches. All trout 15-22 inches must be immediately released.
Lasal Mountains - Conservation Officer Vance Mumford says trout are not rising to flies on the surface, due to cooling temperatures and dwindling insect hatches. He suggests sinking bait or wet flies to the bottom.
Miller Flat Reservoir - Slow but steady fishing has been reported. Worms are recommended.
Petes Holes - Good fishing has been reported for anglers using artificial flies or bait.
Price River/Lower Fish Creek - From approximately 1 mile below the Scofield Reservoir dam downstream to the confluence with the White River only artificial flies and lures may be used.
Scofield Reservoir - Boat anglers north of the island have been catching 12-14 inch rainbow trout with Power Nuggets or a worm and PowerBait combination, fished near the bottom.
On the southeast side, bank anglers have been using gold Zeke's, PowerBait, or worms and marshmallows for trout up to 14 inches.

Captain's Report by Capt. Steve
With features like the Convex-V hull and TAPS 2 technology, the Tigé RZ4 can challenge any boat on the lake.
It's sure hard to look at any boat in the Tigé lineup and not see just how cool these boats really are. But looks are only half the battle plan for marketing a boat. If it's all show and no go then the lineup falls flat. So I needed to get on the water with these boats and see what's up. And that's exactly what I did. Here's what I found---
With a pickle fork bow, the Tigé RZ4 has plenty of room in the bow for comfortable seating. A filler cushion turns the bow into a large sunpad.
Taken as a regular general watersports boat, as opposed to a wakeboat, the RZ4 performed nicely. Turns were crisp and well defined with just a little slide to counter the forces that can turn uncontrollable in a hard turn. At any speed, the boat was fully maneuverable and offered nothing out of the ordinary that may surprise the unwary.
Note how low the swim platform is to the water. This eliminates the need for a ladder. There's still a handle in the center of the transom to aid in reboarding.
Now you have to keep in mind that the Tigé RZ4 is an inboard boat, so handling will be a little different than a sterndrive. Some of these differences are good, and some not so much, if you listen to public opinion. The good differences were mostly notable in the high speed turns. There was no prop cavitation at any speed, so you don't have to worry about trim in a hard turn. I was throwing the boat into very hard turns and was surprised that the boat didn't come flying off from the sideways forces, but she hung fast and showed no signs of slipping out…ever. That adhesion to the water is thanks to the three stabilizing fins protruding down from her keel and, of course, she's is an inboard.
Not only is the RZ4 a cool looking boat, it's a great performer, and gives easy control of the wake.
Another characteristic of this inboard drive in the Tigé RZ4 is that it's connected to a V-drive transmission. So unlike other wakeboard boats on the market, there's no big ol' engine box in the middle of the cockpit. This engine is well aft leaving plenty of play room in the cockpit.
And finally on the plus side is the safety factor. The prop is under the boat, not at the stern.
The wraparound observer's seat allows for a lot of seating. The position shown here is just aft of the helm seat and lockable storage is behind the seat back.
The downside to any single-engine inboard installation is in docking, and this boat was no exception. The boat backs to starboard. So it is a matter of getting the hang of it and you will with some experience -- people have been docking them quite nicely for 90 years or so. We'll even tell you the trick...
Inboard Docking Made Easy
How do you do that? Easily. Make all your dockings to the starboard side. Approach the dock slightly off, and then when you back down, the stern will get pulled over. To keep the stern from hitting the dock first, be turned hard to starboard, and just a touch of forward will push the stern away enough so that the boat comes up against the dock flush with the whole side of the boat, rather than one section hitting first.
With a few minutes practice, and some forward and reverse, you can get the hang of it and you'll be an instant pro. Be gentle, you won't feel the transmission "clunk" as it slips into gear. It's silky smooth. Tigé also deals with it by making the boarding walkthrough on the starboard side. It's also at roughly the same level as the dock so loading gear is much easier.
The wakeboard tower is powder coated. The racks swivel out of the way at the push of a button. Check out the tow rope attach point. It has a rear facing camera that attaches to the towline. Note the helm seat. It's mesh for great cooling on hot days, you won't stick to it when driving in a swimsuit, and wet suits won't stain any fabric.
The Wake Maker
So the real deal is in the RZ4's wake handling. Tigé approaches the game a little differently. Where most, if not all, other wakeboard boat hulls have a straight line running towards the stern, and then a hook down to give the stern the "dig in," Tigé actually makes their hull curve up at the stern -- it's called Convex V. Then, the TAPS2 comes into play.
TAPS stands for Tigé Adjustable Performance System, and it's basically a wide plate at the stern that you can adjust like a trim tab. Only unlike trim tabs, this is in the center of the hull at the bottom of the transom. You can run with it up, for a flat wake, or run with it down for a fat wake.
I did find it necessary to use the TAPS plate when running at high speed. There tended to be a bit of bow oscillation and by bringing the TAPS plate down, the bow would be held to the water better.
The corner seat flips over to become a carpeted step making boarding a breeze, and without ruining any upholstery.
Let 'Em Eat Wake!
Now, with the ballast tanks full (four of them, two in the stern, two in the bow) the difference in wake was significant. Moving the TAPS 2 plane up and down resulted in a large change in the wake, from a sporty "jumping for the fun of catching a little air" size wake, to a "jumping into the air and flying from one side of the boat to the other" size of wake.
From a performance and handling standpoint, with the TAPS plane down the boat is converted into a depressing, bow high, fuel burner, but then again, when wakeboarding, the driver's aspect is of little concern… it's all about the wake!! And in the Tigé RZ4, I had complete control of the wake and could make it do whatever I wanted.
It took a little time to get it where I wanted it to be, what with filling and draining ballast bags (about a 15 minute one way trip), but I could definitely get it there and anyone at the end of the towline would be pleased with the customized results. With the TAPS 2 plate you can fine tune the wake, making it bigger or smaller, putting in more curl or less, all with the one hand control.
So if TAPS 2 is all that great, why doesn't everybody do it? Because they can't. Tigé patented it. Smart move on Tigé's part.
The Tigé Touch screen is off to starboard. Having it keeps the panel uncluttered. Notice the Carlotta wheel with cast stainless frame. There's 9" (22.9 cm) of visibility between the dash and the upper windshield frame.
Tigé Touch
But once you get it to where you want it, the question is… can you get it there again? What if you are towing a guy and finally arrive at that sweet spot of performance. Will you be able to arrive at it again for him, and what's more… can you do it for all the other guys (and gals) you're taking out on your boat?
The answer is a resounding yes. And you do it with Tigé Touch. This proprietary device allows you to utilize a touch screen to input very specific parameters and save them as profiles, and even name the profiles. So when Bob decides that you've reached a perfect wake for him, then you save that set of parameters as a profile named "Bob" and then, at the touch of a button, Bob's a happy camper every time. If his skills improve and he wants to tweak things a bit, just edit the profile and you're done.
Tigé Touch is able to control not only the boat's speed, but the levels of individual ballast tanks and the level of the TAPS 2 running plate. All with touch screen capability. I think this is a huge feature.
Tigé Touch allows for a whole host of controls, including inputting specific parameters of speed, ballast, and TAPS2 position and saving those settings as a named profile. Through all the screens (except "Gauges") you will still have the pivotal speed and tach across the top, and stereo and depth across the bottom.
But it gets better. Tigé Touch also gives you control of the boat's lights, all switches for pumps and blowers, as well as the tunes. You can even change the input for the tunes from AM, FM, MP3, Sirius, and Aux inputs. (There's more to Tigé Touch, but we get into it much deeper in its own video demonstration. Check it out…)
Performance and Specifications
The Tigé RZ4 has a LOA of 24' (7.32 m), and a beam of 8' 6" (2.6 m). Her empty weight is 4,485 lbs. (2,034 kgs) and she carries 48 gallons (181.7 L) of fuel. We tested the Tigé RZ4 on a hot Texas day with 10-15 mph winds a light chop and our test boat was powered with a PCM EX343.
Not only is this a superior wakeboat, but as a cruiser, it's equally capable thanks to the amount of room in the cockpit and the pickle-fork bow.
This is a 5.7L MPI engine, and you have to give high marks to PCM for calling it as it is. Their EX343 is 343-hp. No confusing marketing hype here. Her top speed was found to be 41.1 mph and her best cruise came at 3000 rpms and 25.3 mph. At that speed, the RZ4 was burning only 8.2 gallons per hour, and with her tanks topped off, she'll have a range, at that speed, of 133 miles with a 10% reserve. Now that's a lot of wakeboarding.
Overall, I was very impressed with the Tigé RZ4. While not intending to cross the marketing stream between wakeboard boat and cruiser, Tigé managed to pull it off anyway, mostly due to the great handling and roominess onboard.

Gill nets indiscriminately kill many of the fish that swim into them. This includes endangered stocks of Columbia River salmon and steelhead.... What's more, abandoned gill nets will continue to kill these endangered fish indefinitely.
There was a time when fish runs were strong enough in the Columbia to handle gillnetters. That time, however, has long since expired. Banning gill nets in the Columbia is an important and necessary step in restoring our wild runs.
Second, there are substantially more working-class Oregonians—thousands more—who are sport fishermen than commercial fishermen. "Class warfare?" Give me a break. As an avid fisherman, I can say that most of my fellow sport fishermen and women are working-class folks. Sportfishing provides affordable opportunities for people of all income levels to enjoy our public lands and waters.
I find it disheartening that WW has glorified private gillnetters who profit off a dwindling public resource and degrade the environment.
Thanks for an insightful article. Greed under the guise of conservation is an insult to the green movement and a death sentence for family fishing businesses.
Sport fishermen kill far more endangered or threatened Columbia River fish (all species) than the commercial fishers.... Commercial family fishers are the only way most of us will be able to enjoy the bounty that belongs to all.
Oregonians are not so gullible as to eliminate jobs and access when not a single listed fish will be saved.

Regardless of whether there is criminal culpability, Rep. [Matt] Wingard exercised an exceptional breach of trust by engaging in a relationship with a subordinate employee ["A Violation of Trust?" WW, June 13, 2012].
Even worse, it does not appear outside the realm of possibility that he hired her expressly to seek a relationship. The outcome of the matter is exactly what one would expect: The employer stays employed and the employee is out of work.
Wingard appears to have forgotten that he is a "representative." I suppose we have long left behind the days that we expect a higher ethical standard from our elected officials. But it is precisely this type of behavior that has eroded and continues to erode public confidence in our democracy.
The Republican caucus should quickly discipline Wingard to demonstrate it is unacceptable to engage in a sexual relationship with an employee. In doing so he has, at a minimum, compromised his claim to a leadership post.
