Another preliminary review focusing on fit, features and construction.Although many of you might be more attracted with the (on paper) 1 oz. savings of weight of the Cocoon Hooded Pullover, the Pro Parka has a lot going for it.Let me first dispel one misconception of this garment---this is not a "parka" in the traditional sense of the word. Most parkas are cut discernably longer than a jacket---often over the hip and butt. The Pro Parka is not. For a given size compared to the pullover , this is about an inch longer. However, like most parkas, this does have a full zip, a real boon to ventilation.Designed as a "belay jacket", this has a helmet compatible hood if you size it normally and has a fuller cut and longer arms compared to the pullover to accomadate both thicker layers and free movement. One can also elect to size it smaller---I'm normally a "L" but got this in the "M" as I'm not using this as a belay jacket but instead, as a part of my sleeping system and as a "warmup" jacket. If one looks at the sizing charts of both the Pullover and the Parka, a M Parka has the same sizing as a L Pullover, etc. Even at my 6' plus height and long arms, this works for me without hindering movement and I'll be able to use light and mediumweight baselayers underneath. In keeping with the Alpine/Backcountry Skiing emphasis on the design of this "Parka", it has a different outer fabric than the pullover---another Pertex fabric, "Endurance" which is what I would call a "semi" Waterproof/Breathable fabric. It does have a thin membrane applied to the face fabric (giving it a slightly stiffer hand than the Quantum lining, but still quite soft and only nominally heavier) which makes it highly water resistant. Pertex does not claim it to be totally waterproof---on the Pertex website, the description of the fabric and it's membrane almost makes it sound like a form of "Epic' although unlike Epic, this does have a DWR treatment. Endurance is also supposed to be highly breathable, even at low temps. We shall see. I am hoping it will be breathable enough to use as a sleeping garment in conjunction with my quilt, a general use insulation jacket on backpacking trips as well as being my prime insulation on backcountry skiing trips.Besides the full zip (a light but stout toothed zipper), there are 2 chest pockets (harness and waistbelt compatible) handy for storage of items you want at hand like camera, gloves, lip balm, compass, gps, etc. This is an improvement on the mini pocket of the pullover, in my book.As I once wrote in a review of the original Pullover, I wish these garments had a true droptail (a feature claimed by BMW but very subtle in reality) to protect my heine from the elements. However, used in conjunction with the Cocoon Pants, there is plenty of overlap and certainly wouldn't be an issue as sleepwear. Other additions I'd like to see would be a small interior stash pocket, a more articulated neck (to allow the hood to move with your head movement) and an offset zip at the top so it doesn't hit you in the front of the chin. the stiffened zipper guard is effective in preventing your goatee from being sucked into the zip. I will probably remove the metal zipper pulls and replace w/ corded loops for easier use w/ gloved hands.Quality, is very nice. materials first rate, detailing good and simple--- elasticized hem, shockcord hood adjustment. The hood will be very warm and a much desired addition to my sleeping system. The weight, against all previous BMW precedent runs heavier than the specs (add "shocked" emoticon here). I have weighed both a L ( 12.85 oz.) and a M (11.78 oz.). This is against the 11 oz. for a size L stated by BMW. I wonder what actual weights for the Hooded Pullovers are coming in at?I'll give this a provisional 4.5 out of 5.Update--- I sprayed water at the exterior fabric for 15 min. without any penetration. Wow! Water would get in at the pockets but this is one very water resistant puppy.

I read great reviews about this parka, and I am happy to say that, for the uses I have, it has been great. I live in Australia, and was after a lightweight insulted jacket for ski touring, and also to add to my winter sleep system. Downunder we unfortunately seem to suffer from a significant deficit in high quality lightweight gear - I'm not sure why, as this item was hardly expensive compared with the locally available products.The jacket is extremely well made, and the weight is insignificant compared with the fleece or down jackets we are used to - AND it has a water resistant outer layer!As to design, the size fitted me well, although I would have liked a longer back, by about 2 inches, as I have a cold spot there, between it and the insulated pants I have. The hood fits very well, and as an addition to a lightweight homemade quilt style sleep system, it allows me to use the quilt (500g of 650 loft down) in temperatures down to -5C. However , for my requirments, the pockets are not that great - I would far prefer handwarmer pockets in a parka than the ones offered - in Oz we would rarely ski in such a jacket, so such pockets would not be used for storing skins, camera etc - it would more normally be used in the evenings around the tent, when the handwarmers are far more useful.Overall, I'll give it a 4.5.
I have been able to test the Pro Parka now for about one month. Sizing/Fit: I am 5'6 and 140lbs; the Parka (size XS)fits great with the exception of its length. one or two more inches would have been great. Function: The two front pockest are nice but I also would have preferred hand-warmers. The directionality of the zippers is a bit counter-intitive; up=open and down=closed. Weight is 10oz.Performance: This parka keeps me warm when resting down to 20F with two light baselayers. For me it has been warmer than the Micro Puff Pullover combined with a Possumd Down hat. I have yet to test its water/snow resistance.
excellent review by Kevin Davidson - especially re sizingas a result i also ordered the M which fits fine (normally i would order a L)excellent build quality like the hoodnot sure about the shape/size/location of the pockets (would also prefer hand warmers plus mesh inner)BPL states the L weighs 312gmy M weighs 339g....
Rating: 3 / 5
Build quality and materials are top notch. The Parka weighs 10.3 oz in a small. It abounds in warmth. Used it in temps. down to 13F over a TNF Impulse Hoodie and Marmot Ion windshirt while hanging out in camp during a snow storm. Sheds snow with ease. I'm 5'10" and 165lbs. I ordered the small based on the BMW's recommedation.The torso is too short and was only okay because the waist on my Pro 60 Pants was up to my belly button and covered the gap. Ideally I would want the length of a large the sleeves of a small and the chest of an extra small. I know these are designed to go over other layers and if that was what I was looking for I would have gotten a medium to go over my Mont Bell UL inner jacket. I was looking for a trimmer fit and the small still didn't fit trim enough.Other than fit it is an excellent product.

Ok, I'm new around here, so take this for what it's worth. I ordered this in XXL/Red. I love this thing! I'm very happy with the over-estimated sizing. I am 5' 11" and 285 lbs. In my case the parka fit perfectly! We recently dipped down to 8° here in northern Alabama and I eventually had to unzip this thing as I began to warm up durring a recent hike. I stood out in 30-40° temps for two hours today directing traffic at my church, the bright red color really helped here! Snug as a bug the whole time! I'm about to run out of exclaimation points so I'll end this... Just get it, it works.

To decrease bicyclist and pedestrian injuries and fatalities on North Carolina's streets, highways, and other public rights-of-way by improving these corridors and the travel environment for safe bicycle and pedestrian use, thus promoting increased bicycling and walking.
The Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation (DBPT) is a comprehensive operation, touching all aspects of bicycling and walking; whether designing facilities, creating safety programs, mapping cross-state bicycle routes, training teachers, sponsoring workshops and conferences, fostering multi-modal planning or integrating bicycling and walking into the ongoing activities of the Department of Transportation.
Created in 1974 as a result of North Carolina bicycle program legislation (View the Bicycle and Bikeway Act) and expanded to encompass pedestrian activities in 1992 as a result of federal legislation, the DBPT is the oldest comprehensive state program of its kind in the United States.
We strive to make bicycling and walking in North Carolina better, safer and more enjoyable. Consisting of planners, engineers, and support staff, DBPT works closely with other units of NCDOT and other state agencies as well as regional and municipal agencies throughout the state.
"WalkBikeNC is North Carolina's first statewide master plan to define a vision, goals and strategies for improving walking and bicycling for residents and visitors. Based on input received from thousands of North Carolinians, it remains clear that there is a high level of interest and desire to embrace all of the benefits that are derived from walking and bicycling. The vision and goals for WalkBikeNC have been shaped by this input, which also reflect the foundation established by NCDOT to improve the quality of transportation for all North Carolinians."
It all started in 1974 when the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Bicycle and Bikeway Act that established what was then known as the North Carolina Bicycle and Bikeway Program. The name was eventually shortened to North Carolina Bicycle Program. In 1997, it became a full-fledged division within NCDOT and named the Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation.

NEWPORT–Fans of the North Country girls hockey team who expected to see the team make another run at the Division II state title will have to adjust their plans, as the Falcons will not be in the running in DII.
They will be in Division I.
North Country coach Claude Paul confirmed the decision on Wednesday when we spoke at the track meet.
To say Paul was less than thrilled is an understatement, although he didn't have time for a quote.
Harwood and Rutland will also be making the jump to DI, while Hartford and Burr & Burton are heading down to DII.
Not only does this eliminate a possible, and quite likely, Harwood-North Country rematch at the Gut, it will make it extremely difficult for either team to even make it to UVM, as DI has been ruled by BFA St. Albans and Essex since its inception in 2002.
The Comets have won 9 titles, most recently this past season, while Essex has grabbed the other 3.
The Falcons will have arguably their best team ever in 2013-2014, as North Country will be returning all but two players from their Division II runners-up squad from last season.
Plus, they are expected to gain a few more talented players from the youth leagues as well.

The cartridge has a lot of fun images, but the days of Christmas from the well known song are inaccurate. 12 is Drummers drumming not Lords a-leaping. The inaccuracy carries through number 9.
I thoroughly enjoy this cartridge. There are plenty of uses for this cartridge throughout the year - not just for Christmas and winter.
The 12 days of Christmas is one of the correct versions. There are many out there and this one was written by Salmon in 1855. The only discrepancy is it is "Collie birds" and most people say "calling birds"; so that isn't a big deal to me. I love it. Lots of fun things on this cartridge. Well worth buying.

In conjunction with the exhibition Bauhaus 1919–1933: Workshops for Modernity (November 8, 2009–January 25, 2010), Bauhaus Lab is a new interactive space that reimagines the historic Bauhaus classrooms in which students and teachers of many forms of art experimented with innovative pedagogical approaches. Led by artists, educators, and art historians, an ongoing series of hands-on art-making workshops offers participants of all ages the opportunity to engage in techniques and processes integral to the Bauhaus, such as drawing, collage, graphic design, color theory, and mechanical construction.
Ellen Lupton, writer, curator, graphic designer, and director of the graphic design graduate program at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Baltimore, leads participants in a hands-on workshop about Bauhaus design principles. Use geometry, patterning, imagery, and lettering to create simple, direct graphics that reflect the Bauhaus's aesthetic message of clarity and boldness, and learn basic techniques that you can apply to future projects. All supplies, including paints, paint pens, and basic canvas bags, are provided; you may also bring your own canvas tote bag or shoes to decorate.
This program is free and participation is on a drop-in first-come, first-served basis. Open to all ages.

text: Guest Lecture on Elizabeth Anscombe's Moral Philosophy Thursday, October 13, 2011 The philosophy of the late Elizabeth Anscombe, professor of philosophy at Cambridge University, literary executor of Ludwig Wittgenstein, and widely admired defender of the Church's teaching on contraception, was the subject of a lecture on Friday, Oct 15th, by Dr. Jose Maria Torralba, a professor of philosophy at the University of Navarre in Spain and currently a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago. Speaking on, "Anscombe's Moral Philosophy: Human Action, Moral Ought, and Practical Truth," Torralba explained some of the main themes in Anscombe's moral philosophy, including Anscombe's concern to reject consequentialism through a defense of the principle of double effect and a careful examination of the notion of "intention". Torralba also explained how Anscombe made use of an account of what she called "brute facts" to criticize Hume's "is/ought" distinction. The morning following the lecture, Dr. Torralba met with students at the Bean for continued discussions. Students included the participants in Dr. Pakaluk's "Advanced Readings" seminar, who had just been studying a paper by Anscombe for that class. Dr. Jose Maria Torralba explains a fine point in Anscombe's moral philosophy at the Bean, while Andrew Davis, Leslie Nagel, Maureen Bielinski, and Will Hughes listen on.

T.C. Christensen, ASC has made close to 40 feature films and countless shorts and documentaries over the last four decades. The cinematographer-director has been following his passion for filmmaking since high school, when he started shooting with a 16mm Bolex camera, and fostered that ambition with an "opportunity meets preparation" attitude.
Most recently, Christensen finished a labor of love called Ephraim's Rescue, which tells the true story of Ephraim Hanks, who like most teenage boys, only cares about himself, but finds his way in life, and eventually provides relief and rescue to the suffering Martin Handcart Company pioneers who were caught in Wyoming's early winter storms in the fall of 1856.
"I've done two films up in those mountains now and I'm pretty sure the crew wishes we could do a story about pioneers in the Bahamas," Christensen jokes. "We had the usual challenges of trying to do more in a day than you have time for, but we also had the added challenge of shooting half the film in the summer and half in winter. When you split up units and have to get everyone back four months later, that's certainly worrisome."
For the winter shoot, they were up in the mountains in Utha at night in December and January, and it was extremely cold. But despite that, Christensen says the cameras and film performed flawlessly.
"Part of the reason I chose to shoot on film is that it's such a fast medium," says Christensen, "and especially with a Super 16 camera like the ARRI SR3. You set the sticks, the lens (Zeiss Superspeeds), the exposure, and you're rolling."
The other reason Christensen chose film was because of its timeless believability. To do a period story, he believes it's easier to get the audience to believe it's 1856 with film.
"There's something about the romance of film and the texture of it where viewers don't have to sit there for very long before they get the idea that this is the old west," Christensen offers. "I feel like trying to do that in the digital form would be one more hurdle to get the viewers over."
Based on Christensen's many years of experience with film and having shot many period pieces, he chose KODAK VISION3 50D Color Negative Film 7203 and 200T 7213. About 10 percent of the movie was filmed on an ARRI 435 mounted with Zeiss Superspeed lenses and KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219 and 200T 5213 in the camera for high-speed work and wide shots where Christensen needed details in the distance. The 16mm was used for interiors and night exteriors.
The director/DP has found a particular lighting style for his period films where all a character has is daylight, fire, or a candle to light a room. "I feel like shooting the lower speed stocks give me the edge I want. That 50D is extraordinary – that teeny little negative produces such fine grain and sharp images."
Christensen had the film processed at Filmworkers Club in Dallas, with the final color grade done at The Color Mill in Salt Lake City with colorist Russ Lasson. Christensen notes that he shipped film each night via FedEx from Salt Lake City to Dallas without any problems.
"We've had two screenings of our film on 60-foot screens or bigger," explains Christensen, "and I sit there in awe at an image that started as small as my fingernail and is now spread across 60 feet looking just terrific."
Fifteen years ago, Christensen feels that Super 16 on a 60-foot screen would have been a very different animal. With the advances in film technology and film scanners, the ability to color correct and the digital tools available today, "very few people can believe that Ephraim's Rescue is not all 35mm. I'm so pleased that my intentions come across in the visuals."
Ephraim's Rescue has played in limited release with plans to expand to more cinemas.

The much-improved 2012 Dodge Charger R/T offers a good blend of power and cabin technology, but could use a bit more refinement where efficiency and ease of use are concerned.
The 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 looks good, goes fast, and handles well, while offering useful and modern cabin tech features. Just expect frequent, expensive trips to the gas station.
The revised Charger with a Hemi is American muscle with some unexpected nuance.

Video can be recorded in either M-JPEG or MPEG-4 formats, at a frame rate as high as 30 frames per second. Recording in M-JPEG format ensures every frame is a complete picture, free of any image degradation. Recording in MPEG-4 format saves disk space by decreasing the size of the video files stored. The camera can also be to record while a preset tour is running, and even change settings for exposure based on the camera site.
Depending on the camera servers installed, the resolution of video being recorded can be set to 640x480, 320x240, or 160x120 pixels.

Read: The Most Hated Rangers Opponent
In the latest issue of The Hockey News, they look at the most hated opponent that every team in the NHL has.
For the Rangers, that player is Marty Brodeur. They write of Brodeur and the Rangers "Martin Brodeur is a natural fit as a primary recipient of catcalls from Rangers fans. They chant "Mart-ty! Mar-ty" after every goal. And the venom is mutual: in his biography, Brodeur wrote "I hate the Rangers and Lou hates them to death."

Alice Zelma Harris's obituary calls her a legendary drum majorette for civil rights and social justice and notes that her parents raised her to defy racism and to know and live like a citizen of the United States. She was inspired to action by the arrest of Rosa Parks: Zelma was one of thousands on the evening of December 5, 1955 who gathered at the Holt Street Baptist Church where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called for the protest for the arrest of Mrs. Rosa Parks. Zelma with her 3 young children, participated in the Montgomery Bus Boycott which lasted for 381 days.
Vera Johnson was just as proud to be involved with the Montgomery Bus Boycott. A Montgomery native, she held various positions in the Montgomery Improvement Association, fighting to bring about changes with the Bus Boycott and Civil Rights Movement. She marched with Martin Luther King many miles in her efforts to gain equality for all. Vera was instrumental with the Bus Boycott, in Montgomery Alabama, working closely with Rosa Parks. Having met Rosa Parks at Montgomery Fair, Rosa was a seamstress there and Vera operated the elevator, she was familiar with both sides of the boycott movement.
Sherick Jovan devoted much of his life to the fight for equality: As an advocate for civil rights and equality, he began speaking out against injustice, racism and segregation during the late 60's within his community. During the 70's he actively began writing and expressing himself about life experiences through his poetry and as a storyteller; he taught and spoke out on issues of civil/human rights and justice for all. His chance to meet Rosa Parks came with another honor, as well: In July 2004, he was awarded a Certificate of Achievement where his name was placed on the "Wall of Tolerance" in Montgomery, Alabama, presented by Ms. Rosa Parks, Co-founder, National Campaign for Tolerance, The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). This notable tribute was in appreciation for his community service while in Atlanta, Georgia.
Walter Pratt also got to meet Rosa Parks at an award ceremony – but this fan was presenting Parks with the award instead of the other way around. While at [the University of California at] Berkeley one of Walters most precious memories was when he was able to present Rosa Parks with an award from the university's African American Dept.
Irene Gray Osborne's obituary proudly proclaims her part of the energy that changed our world! Devoted to the cause of desegregation, Osborne worked hard toward the Brown vs. Board of Ed. Decision in 1954. She spent a lot of her career talking to groups across the country such as interracial councils dedicated to desegregation. Irene published several articles supporting school integration from 1953-1959. Her work allowed her to meet many people, including influential leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., and Rosa Parks.
Carolyn McCormack had two notable brushes with fame – as a child, Hank Williams Sr. was her babysitter. But more to the point, she was proud of her connection to Rosa Parks: [in 1955, she] rode the same bus with Rosa Parks, in which her picture was taken by a U.P. photographer and is now a part of history.
Len Turpin's Rosa Parks story was a small one, but no less exciting for the disabled veteran, who did much of his interacting with the world via computer. The most memorable conversation he had on the computer was with the famous Rosa Parks.

Groups call sign hate speech: 'We're not going to let it go unanswered'
EUGENE, Ore. - A banner temporarily displayed over Interstate 5 on a bicycle and pedestrian bridge reads "Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white."
Community leaders call the slogan hate speech.
"We think it was a white supremacist group who put that up, which makes it even more important that we challenge it," said Michael Carrigan with Community Alliance of Lane County.
"The symbol on the sign is called Odin's cross," said Michael Kinnison, Eugene Equity and Human Rights program manager, "and it's an ancient celtic symbol, but the white supremacist movement has co-opted that symbol as part of their messaging."
Kinnison added, "It incorrectly shifts the focus away from the fact that racism is very real and experienced by members of our community."
The photo of the banner has generated a lot of discussion online.
A person who commented on a local news website claiming to be the man pictured kneeling next to the banner disputed whether the banner was affixed to the bridge, which is illegal regardless of what the sign says. The person, whose identity could not be verified, suggested the banner was possibly part of a walking picket that paused on the bridge.
Carrigan said, "We are appalled that it happened and we are shocked that it happened, and we're not going to let it go unanswered."
He said CALC is planning a demonstration in response to this sign to let people know that hate speech is not accepted in this community.
In Eugene, if you think you have witnessed a hate crime, you should contact Equity and Human Rights Center at (541) 682-5177 or email email@example.com.

LOCKPORT, NY - "We did everything together, everything," recalled Lee Rosselli, 64, reflecting on his 32-year marriage to his wife Rose, 51.
Inseparable in life, the two nearly shared death when they were riding their motorcycle down a section of Transit Road during a beautiful fall afternoon last October, when an SUV suddenly made a left turn directly in their path.
"I remember being on the hood of his SUV with my motorcycle, and then sliding off and I heard a crack, and that was when I broke my back," Rosselli told WGRZ-TV. "I remember them telling me that the helicopter will be here in a minute....then I heard them say, we got one for your wife too, it'll be right behind you," he said.
Not far behind Mr. and Mrs. Rosselli, when the couple arrived via Mercy Flight at ECMC, was their son, Matt
"I was pulled into a room, and about 6 or 8 people came in...the doctor had informed us that it wasn't't looking good for either of my parents...and we started to discuss whether to contact a funeral home."
However, five months and twelve surgeries later, Lee and Rose Rosselli continue their recovery.
Rose, is less far along in her recovery. She remains hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury, sustained when she was thrown from the motorcycle, and, after her helmet flew off, landed on her head in a parking lot.
Her husband is now recuperating at the Terrace View long-term care facility, and is learning to walk with a prosthetic leg, after his own left leg was lost in the accident.
The couple speaks mostly by phone, and Lee's eyes light up when he speaks of Rose.
"She's more worried about me than herself and she's worse than I am," he said.
Matt Rosselli, who left his job to tend to his parents affairs, found out they both do not qualify for the subsidized nursing care they will need when they eventually get home, because his dad's monthly supplemental social security income, is two dollars too much.
"When they told me that at the Social Security office I thought it was ridiculous. I mean, why don't they just reduce his benefit by two dollars a month?" he wondered.
His father said an alternative; presented to him by the Social Security office, was unacceptable.
"They told me I could divorce my wife and then she would qualify....that's not happening. I'll manage...and just do the best I can to take care of my family," he said.
To help defray their future costs, Matt has organized a fundraiser on behalf of his parents (details below) for this weekend.
The South Lockport Fire Department is donating the hall to hold it in, Molinaros Restaurant will provide the food, and countless other businesses have stepped up with door prizes.
"I heard about this and just wanted to do something," said Scott Kirkland, manager of Audio One on Transit Road. "It feels good to be able to help," he said, when presenting Matt with a gift certificate toward the installation of a remote car starter, which will be auctioned off to help raise money.
Meanwhile, contractors and friends have provided labor and materials, free or at cost, to help renovate the couple's Clinton Street home to suit what will be their lifelong disabilities. Since January, they have been working to widen hallways and doors to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, and installing a handicapped accessible bathroom among other improvements.
When reflecting on the assistance being provided, Lee Rosselli began to weep.
"I just get so emotional when I think about that," he said. "I never knew I had this many friends."
"If we could just get some support, to raise some money to help my parents it would be great," said Matt. "I'd appreciate anything."

The benefit for Lee and Rose Rosselli will be be held from 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the South Lockport fire hall on Transit Road. There will be a pasta dinner, and live music. A Chinese auction and 50/50 split raffles are also planned.
Tickets $20 in advance and $25 at the door.
Advance tickets can be obtained by calling Matt Rosselli at 341-0463 or Sophia Eddy at 310-4466.
Cash contributions can be mailed to Matt Rosselli, 347 Walnut St., apartment 2, Lockport, NY 14094.

thezeroes wrote:If Brian Roberts is healthy and in pre-concussion form he would be my lead off hitter with Mclouth batting second. If Roberts seems to need some time to readjust to MLB baseball, I would drop him to second in the order and have McLouth lead off.
After further thought you could make the case of trying to keep the left/right symmetry in your batting order so you would have to change it up depending on the starter.
With the ability of Markakis, Reimold, Roberts and McLouth all capable of being lead off hitters it is finally nice to start a season with such a dilemma.
OriolesRedskins28 wrote:Markakis is my number one choice because of how well he performed in the role last year. He seemed very comfortable there for whatever reason.
The notion that Roberts has anything above a TINY shot at being in "healthy pre concussion form" is misguided IMO. He hasn't performed at even a mediocre level since 2010 and he will be 35 for the 2013 season. Players that rely on speed like Roberts usually don't age too well and there's also the fact that his power will very likely be gone due to his predominant inactivity over the past 2+ years due to his series of totally incapacitating injuries.
Matt P wrote:Roberts hasn't played a full season since 2009 and he's now 35 years old. I'm sorry but it is just ridiculous to expect him to be "back to form". Even if he was healthy the last 3 seasons he would still more than likely be declining by now. Add to that the fact he hasn't played I will be shocked if he will even be a league average 2B next season.
I would go with Reimold as he is a great base runner, has a great eye, and can get on base. Markakis would be my second choice but he is not a good base runner and that is the main reason I would go with Reimold over him.
I don't believe in McLouth repeating last seasons performance so I would start off with him lower in the order and let him work his way near the top.
dan72 wrote:I'd go with Markakis. He will give you a .290-.300 avg and a .400+ OBP. I know he doesn't have great speed but I think table setting is more important than the ocassional stollen base....
Mclouth would be my second choice. I doubt that Roberts gets 100 AB's in 2013. Same with Riemold.

No Announcement Today
Brian Costello of the New York Post is reporting that the Jets will not be making an announcement today in regards to their general manager search.
We're a half hour away from 5:00 on the East coast and the Jets have historically made their announcements well before now so this comes as little surprise. We're being speculative here but it's possible there could be a holdup in the negotiation process or the "sources" are off the mark again which wouldn't be out of character given the lack of information the Jets have dispensed in the last two weeks.
Nonetheless, stay tuned. With the Senior Bowl creeping closer, the Jets should be ready to announce their decision shortly.

The Hottest Nutrient Under the Sun
Vitamin Code RAW Vitamin D3 is different from any other vitamin D nutritional supplement available today. In following with the Vitamin Code philosophy, RAW Vitamin D3 is a whole food vitamin D complex that is gluten- and dairy-free with no soy allergens, binders or fillers, and contains raw probiotics and enzymes. More importantly, Vitamin Code RAW D3 is a raw source of vitamin D3.
Why Do I Need Vitamin D?
As vitamin D deficiency has become more prevalent, the attention and focus paid to vitamin D have increased, and for good reason. Most people familiar with vitamin D understand that this nutrient is essential to skeletal system health. Along with calcium, vitamin D is considered vital for maintaining healthy bones. Vitamin D actually regulates the use of calcium in the body by dramatically increasing its absorption and utilization.
Much of the interest in vitamin D stems from the fact that it's found throughout the body in over 600 receptor sites including the brain and the heart. Due to the fact that vitamin D receptors are so prevalent in the body, research has increased on vitamin D, and seemingly everyday new studies tout the health benefits of vitamin D consumption.
Recent studies have also shown that vitamin D supports immune health by helping to regulate the immune system. The brain is home to dozens of vitamin D receptor sites, and vitamin D has been shown to enhance memory and concentration. Vitamin D supports healthy digestion, again since receptor sites are found from the mouth all the way through the intestines. Healthy vitamin D levels support two increasing areas of concern—breast health for women and prostate health for men.
Why Choose Vitamin Code RAW D3?
Typically found in two forms, D2 and D3, both have been shown to be effective in clinical studies to raising vitamin D levels in the blood. However, vitamin D3 is preferred since it's metabolized much better in the body and is in the form that comes from the most natural sources possible—the sun and our food.
Vitamin Code RAW D3 is the only RAW, vegetarian, whole food vitamin D3 formulated with RAW Food-Created Nutrients. Cultivated with live probiotics, antioxidants, enzymes and nutrient-specific peptides, RAW Food-Created Nutrients provide targeted delivery and natural recognition of nutrients by your body to support:
* Healthy Bones & Joints
* Healthy Colon & Digestion
* Memory & Concentration
* Breast & Prostate Health
* Proper Cell Replication
* Immune System
If you are interested in experiencing extraordinary health — when you want the best — feed your body with Vitamin Code RAW D3 — the hottest nutrient under the sun.
Directions: Adults take 1 capsule daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Maybe taken with or without food. Capsules may be opened and contents may be added to water or raw juice. Not intended for children.

|Two Charged in Avery Graveyard Damage
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 12 September 2012 06:07
An investigation into damage to an Avery graveyard has led to two arrests. On Monday, September 3rd, the Eller Family graveyard off Sam Eller Road was severely damaged by a vehicle running into the graveyard and knocking down and damaging several of the headstones.
It could have been a traffic accident, but a witness at the scene saw the incident and saw the vehicle trying to flee. The witness tried to keep the driver and his passenger from leaving the scene, but in fleeing, even more damage was done making their escape. But information provided by the witness allowed the Avery County Sheriff's Office to arrest the two, Larry Carmichael, 39 of Old Beech Mountain Road and 36-year old Crystal Arnold of Montezuma. Both were charged with hit and run and leaving the scene of an accident.

At Loyola University Maryland, service-learning refers to experiential learning within academic courses that is gained through structured reflection on community-based service. In most courses, service-learning pedagogies are combined with more traditional modes of teaching and learning. Essential components of service-learning include: learning and service, which enhance one another; reciprocal partnership with the community; and meaningful, structured reflection.
Service-learning courses at Loyola intentionally contribute to those undergraduate educational aims which promote justice, diversity, leadership and social responsibility. These values are central to the Jesuit educational mission of Loyola University Maryland and of all Jesuit colleges and universities.
Watch our service-learning video >>
Engaging in service as part of a course can contribute to learning about course content just as reading texts, watching films, conducting experiments in the lab, or going on field trips do. In a service-learning course, service is one of the kinds of homework students undertake to learn about their subject matter. Learning occurs through an array of reflection activities and assignments that help students connect their service experiences in the course with the central ideas, hypotheses, theories and methods they are studying.
First and foremost, it is a powerful way to learn about what students are studying at Loyola. It also challenges students to learn firsthand about community, democracy, diversity, justice, civil society, social responsibility, leadership and critical thinking. In addition, it offers students opportunities for personal growth, faith development, improved social and communication skills, job training, and exposure to an array of diverse perspectives that exist beyond the confines of campus life.
For more information, contact Robin Crews, Director of Service-Learning, at ext. 2112 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

We ran a story back in April about Sioux Falls being rated the 31st bicycle-friendly city in the country. (Minneapolis was ranked number one.) The report cited the recrational trail and dedicated bike lanes on city streets.
After a crash on Wednesday that killed a bicyclist, we got to thinking. What do you think? Does Sioux Falls do enough for bicyclists? What about your town? What communities in our area focus on bicyclists' rights?
This morning, Honor Flight took off from Sioux Falls. We'll hear about why these last few trips are even more important.
Also, the Over The Limit program kicks off again today. We're talking to the Highway Patrol about drunk driving and the number of adults that have been involved in fatal crashes recently.

The winner receives this month's vintage 'barely coveted prize." It's a medium sized t-shirt from a 2010 geocaching event organized by Lackeys. It celebrates the 25th anniversary of the movie Goonies.
More than two dozen Lackeys voted to award the winner of the 32nd Geocaching.com Caption Contest a barely coveted prize. It was winter-themed – and coincidentally the voting took place on May 4th. [The joke goes, "May the 4th be with you."] Perhaps not so coincidentally, a Star Wars-themed caption won.

Bullet Trains and Shoguns in Japan
Globotours • Kyoto, Japan
Escape Kit
- An Eight-Day Trip to Japan ($2,299 to $2,499 per Person), Including:
- Round-Trip Flights from LAX to Tokyo via Singapore Airlines
- Round-Trip Ground Transportation from Airport to Hotels and Round-Trip Bullet Train Transportation from Tokyo to Kyoto
- Double-Occupancy Accommodations for Three Nights at the Hilton Tokyo Hotel and Three Nights at the New Miyako Hotel or RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto
- Half-Day City Tour of Tokyo and Half-Day City Tour of Kyoto
- Hotel Taxes and Service Charges Included
- Priced per Person Based on Double Occupancy (See Fine Print)
The Destinations
To the unacquainted palate, Japanese cuisine—raw fish wrapped in seaweed!?—seems exotic. The same applies to its capital, Tokyo. Its compact districts teem with a sharply dressed populace, bouquets of fragrances, and of course, garish lights everywhere, like Times Square on New Year's Eve. But beneath these bold eye snares are centuries-old traditions distilled from calmer times. Such is Tokyo.
While Tokyo always seems to have one foot in the future, Kyoto does its best to hold onto the past. A millenium as the capital of imperial Japan—spanning three shogunates and ending in 1869—certainly explains it. Here you'll find the Shinto shrines, swooping-gabled temples, and rock gardens of archetypal Japan, not to mention the geishas and Kabuki actors carrying its cultural legacy into the present. Paris, Rome, London, Kyoto—it's truly a must-see.
You'll get to experience Japan's present and past with this eight-day trip to Tokyo and Kyoto, courtesy of Globotours.*
The Itinerary
day 1: Board an overnight flight from LAX to Tokyo. You'll lose a calendar day traveling west across the International Date Line, but gain it back on your return flight.
day 2: Touch down at the Tokyo Airport and catch a shuttle transfer to the Hilton Tokyo Hotel, your home for the next two nights. The balance of the day is yours to spend as you please.
day 3: The morning starts by taking in the panoramic cityscape from the main observation platform of the Tokyo Tower—Japan's version of the Eiffel Tower. From there, you'll head to the Meiji Shrine, a shinto shrine built in the old style of all-wood construction amid a peaceful forest. Drive by the Akasaka Palace and the National Diet Building—the Diet being Japan's legislative system—on the way to the Imperial Palace and its fabled East Garden. An inner moat, pine trees, and 15-foot thick walls surround the 250-acre fortress—originally the Edo Castle—that the Emperor and Empress call home. The day's tour ends at the Times Square-like Ginza shopping district, where you'll be free to explore on your own.
day 4: The hotel's shuttle bus will bring you to the Shinjuku Station in the morning. From here, you'll take a quick train to the Tokyo Station, where you'll board a bullet train to Kyoto. Once you arrive at the Kyoto Station, you will either take the five-minute walk to the New Miyako Hotel or a shuttle to the RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto. Your next three nights will be spent in either of the Kyoto hotels.
day 5: A Kyoto city tour begins at the legendary Nijō Castle—once home of the powerful Tokugawa shogunate—where the interiors are decorated with Kanō school screen paintings. You'll move onto the Kinkaku-ji Temple, called the Golden Pavilion because its top two stories are completely covered in gold leaf, with eaves stretching out like the wings of a phoenix and sparkling on the surface of its reflecting pond. Then, you're off to the Kyoto Imperial Palace, where you'll gain exclusive access to the residence of Japanese emperors until the capital was moved to Tokyo in 1869. The palace closes on weekends and national holidays, in which case you'll visit the Kitano Tenman-gū Shrine instead. The remainder of the day is yours to spend scouting around Kyoto.
day 6: You'll have the whole day free to see the sights of Kyoto as you choose.
day 7: In the morning, return to the Kyoto Station to catch a bullet train to the Tokyo Station. Here, you'll pick up a quick train to the Shinjuku Station, where a shuttle bus will transfer you back to the Hilton Tokyo Hotel for one evening.
day 8: Your time in Japan comes to an end as you take a shuttle back to the Tokyo airport, then board your overnight return flight to Los Angeles.
The Dates
LAX departures: April 10 to 20, May 6 to June 9, August 20 to September 30, October 1 to 31, November 1 to 30 ($2,499 per person); September 9 ($2,299 per person)
*Priced per person based on double-occupancy (see fine print)
"Kyoto is the storehouse of Japan's traditional culture and the stage on which much of Japanese history was played out, with 17 Unesco World Heritage sites, more than 1600 Buddhist temples, and over 400 Shinto shrines."-- Lonely Planet

Candied Acorn Squash Slow Cooker Recipe

This sounds great! I'll have to try it with my kids soon...thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the microwave tip - I never buy squash because it's so hard to cut.
- December 7, 2010 at 10:20 AM

Sorry to read people are hassling you about the way you feed your kids. I always asked my kids to give it a try. I got one that doesn't like mushrooms, one that doesn't do cooked carrots but loves them raw, one that didn't like candy or meat, and the other doesn't do peas. They all love raw veggies any way I will serve them, go figure. I going to try this squash recipe and see if I can get Hubby to eat squash.

awesome!! I am going to try this

Brilliant idea about the quick zap in the microwave to soften the skin. I'm a college kid with crap knives (if I buy decent ones, roommates ruin them, so I just suffer and try not to cut my fingers off) so squash is always...a challenge.
- December 7, 2010 at 11:41 AM
Sounds wonderful! Could you use a pumpkin instead of acorn squash? I have two the size of a softball that I am trying to think of a different use instead of baking pie/bread etc.
- December 7, 2010 at 11:42 AM
You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. I am a huge fan of your comments regarding the kids reaction to the dishes you make. It's probably my favorite part since I'm a mother too, and I try to choose my kid food battles carefully. Learning how your kids react to each recipe & whether or not they chose to eat it provides valuable clues for me! Keep doing what you are doing! -Camille

I love squash!! Can't wait to try it out.
- December 7, 2010 at 12:03 PM
- Susan said...
I also think you should keep doing what you are doing. Just more of it! I love your posts and your recipes. This one is sure worth a try. Thanks for the microwave hint.
- December 7, 2010 at 12:17 PM
- Shelly Schmidt said...
Love the sounds of this yummy recipe! MMmmmmm cannot wait to try it!
- December 7, 2010 at 12:36 PM
- Little Ol' Liz said...
I don't know about your kids, but those guinea pigs need a stern talking to! (Hope that makes you smile.)
I've read that you can roast the squash seeds just like the pumpkin ones. Maybe the kids would like those?
- December 7, 2010 at 12:46 PM
I love how you say that it's okay to cut back on the amount of butter and sugar...
Last week when I made acorn squash (love the microwave tip, it's the only way to do it!) I used 4-5 tablespoons of butter and a good sized handful of brown sugar. It was tasty, but this version looks much healthier!
- December 7, 2010 at 12:58 PM
- LindaT said...
We call it "taking a thank you bite," as a thanks to the cook. If my kids don't want more after that, they don't have to eat it, but at least they tried it. This works well with my husband, too, who despises broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus...pretty much if it's green, he doesn't like it. The kids love that Dad has to have thank you bites, too.
This looks yummy! Do you think it would work with almonds?
- December 7, 2010 at 1:15 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
almonds are great, and so are pecans!
- December 7, 2010 at 1:55 PM
- Melissa said...
I was a picky eater as a kid and turned out to be an adult who will each pretty much everything. I'm pretty much the same way as you. I always want them to try a bite, but I can't imagine sending a child to bed hungry. If that's a pushover, I'll gladly be one. :) Sorry to hear people bothering you about it!
This sounds really good! I love acorn squash. Haven't done any squash in the crockpot yet.
- December 7, 2010 at 3:29 PM
- Elizabeth said...
Oh I miss cooked squash!! Since I eat a raw and living foods diet I can't have your wonderful recipe but the kids sure can! They still eat smaller portions of gluten/dairy free cooked items. I'll use a dairy free spread vs the butter. Thanks for sharing your gifts! Your recipes are amazing and easy.
- December 7, 2010 at 5:27 PM
- Shaleena said...
Sounds delicious!! I love squash. I am having a hard time convincing my husband that it is as yummy as I think. I am going to try this recipe! I just pre-ordered your new book! I can't wait to get it!! YAY! Still looking forward to a Totally Together book someday! :)
- December 7, 2010 at 6:19 PM
- greenmomintheburbs said...
This has been one of my favorite recipes for years, but in the oven! I hadn't thought of trying it in the crockpot--thanks!!
(And whoever mentioned it, YES, acorn squash seeds can be roasted and munched just like pumpkin ones--and are just as delicious!)
- December 7, 2010 at 6:53 PM
- Preppy Pink Crocodile said...
I ate a left-over half of these for lunch today! I make mine in the oven but do everything else the same way- microwave first is key to any squash! When I do them in the oven I also take a bit of foil, snake it and then form a little nest for the squash to sit in. This way it won't tip over. I must have been strange because even as a tiny girl I would beg for acron squash with dinner- haha.
- December 7, 2010 at 10:52 PM
- Nan Sheppard said...
Hey, that looks like a really good idea for the christmas table... hmmm...
- December 8, 2010 at 1:51 AM
- Debbi Does Dinner Healthy said...
My kids often eat cereal at night.
This looks awesome. Even thought it's way more work, I like to dice it up first though, for some reason I just think it's creepy to eat it out of the shell. It's super pretty though and I know, I'm just a freak! Either way, I saved this and want to make it!
- December 8, 2010 at 5:14 AM
- Atwood-Family of 4 said...
Looks great! I'm gonna try it! Do you guys eat the skin of the squash?
- December 8, 2010 at 5:39 AM
- jean said...
Thanks for the microwave tip. I'm always worried that I'm going to cut off an appendage while trying to cut through the skin. Squash is going on my grocery list this week!
- December 8, 2010 at 8:44 AM
- Sara said...
I'm an idiot when it comes to squash and have the same question as Atwood - do you eat the skin after it's roasted?
Also, do you poke a hole in the squash before microwaving it so that it doesn't explode?...
- December 8, 2010 at 11:00 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
You're not an idiot. No, don't eat the skin, and no hole is needed---you'd have to microwave it for quite a while to get it to explode.
although that would be a fun experiment!
- December 8, 2010 at 11:23 AM
This tip is redundant if using the slow cooker, but if you are going to bake the squash (or have the oven on for another reason) you can also soften the skin by putting the squash in a hot oven for 10 minutes. This tip has saved my knives (and my fingers).
A skewer into the squash first can't hurt if you plan to microwave it. I've tried to do gem squash in the microwave and, even skewered, they exploded. It was not a pretty sight. (Gem squah are small round squash with VERY hard skin that I've only found in Africa. You can't cut them nohow until they are fully cooked--tricky, as you can't tell when they are cooked... But my kids loved to eat them and pretend they were igloos.)
- December 8, 2010 at 1:34 PM
- Sean Grey Hanson said...
I'm making candies too out of squash. It's really awesome!!!
- December 8, 2010 at 6:47 PM
- Alexis said...
Thank you for this recipe! I love butternut squash and have stayed away from acorn squash because I didn't know what to do with it.I will definitely give this recipe a try.
- December 9, 2010 at 12:06 AM
- DarcyLee said...
Squash is something I discovered after becoming an adult and we really love it. Acorn squash is our favorite but I have some cooked butternut squash in my freezer that I want to make as soup. Yum! Oh, and I just heard recently that it takes a child up to 12 times of trying a food before we can absolutely say that he or she really doesn't like it. I wish I had known this when my girls were little. As someone that rarely didn't not like any food, I didn't know how to handle a couple of my more picky eaters.
- December 9, 2010 at 6:52 AM
- Melissa said...
Awesome!! I have 2 acorn squash sitting on my counter mocking me right now. HA!
And we have "One bite per age" rules, and the rule is if you really don't like it, you can fix whatever you want as long as it doesn't dirty up another pan.. cereal, oatmeal, yogurt or PB and J.
- December 9, 2010 at 6:33 PM

Remember half the battle is getting good foods on the table, the other is getting them to try it. The war is not won at a single dinner, It's growing healthy adults who have learned to make good choices. I love the idea that it is our job to make the foods available, be a model of good eating and to encourage kids to try new foods. Studies show children who are forced to clean their plates eat unwanted foods etc have much more chance of developing eating disorders and obesity. Besides, we as adults cook\eat what we like... My family isn't perfect but my kids eat a lot more variety than they used to, and from what I have seen other children. And yes we have cereal nights too sometimes everyone if dinner is a flop(makes for a happy dog). BTW haven't run into a recipe we havent liked may have had to tweek a few for our families taste. But you have inspired better eating, less fast food for our family and I now use my 7 crockpots regularly making my life so much easier.
- December 10, 2010 at 4:33 AM
- Melynda said...
So about food and kids, when my kids were a bit older (8ish or old enough to know likes/dislikes) we had a New Years tradition that was kid friendly. They got to choose 1 vegetable they did not have to eat in the new year, everything else was fair game! You know you are doing a good job when your kids eat lentils and brussel sprouts. Take care (and don't let'em get you down!).
- December 10, 2010 at 4:46 AM
We bake squash quite often, and I am going to use the slow cooker tonight using this recipe. Is there any easy way to print your recipes? I can't find a print format anywhere.
- December 10, 2010 at 10:13 AM
- Kristi @ Veggie Converter said...
This is one of those vegetarian holiday centerpieces that I keep meaning to try and just haven't found the right recipe. I think this is the one! Thanks again.
- December 11, 2010 at 10:48 AM
I made this last Thursday, and both my husband and daughter watched me cut it up, and announced "I don't eat squash"!!
I proceeded anyway, as it looked like a great compliment to the pork roast I was putting into my other crock pot (1 roast, 1 bottle honey chipolte BBQ sauce, cook on low 6-8 hours).
The squash turned out so tender, I could easily scoop a serving, along with the baked apples, onto each dinner plate. Not a bite was left on the plates!! It tasted like baked apples, and with little sugar or butter, is pretty healthy as well!!
Definitely a "Home Run" meal!!
Thanks for your great ideas and recipes!! You rock, Stephanie!!
- December 12, 2010 at 10:47 PM
I've made a number of your dishes and this is by far my favorite! So so so good! I used granny smith apples and pecans. The leftovers were even good the next day! Thank you!
- December 14, 2010 at 10:56 AM
- Grandma Honey said...
I just had to tell you I made this last night and it's the best squash EVER. I loved it so much that I snacked on cold leftovers about midnight right before going to bed. THANK YOU!!

This sounds delicious! I love acorn squash.

Though there are many memorable on-screen moments that involve Charlotte GainsbourgÂ--Jane Eyre, 21 Grams, and Ma Femme Est Une Actrice just to name a fewÂ--and her storied familial genes are enviable to say the least (mother is Blow Up actress Jane Birkin of Hermès fame, her father is French icon Serge Gainsbourg, and Lou Doillon is her über-stylish little sister), we love her most for her remarkable sense of personal style. Never over the top or vulgar, and often in Balenciaga (it pays to be close friends and muse to the incomparable designer of the French house, Nicolas Ghesquière), Gainsbourg is revered by fashion followers the world over for her perfectly Parisian élan. The lithe mother of two is not as flashy as some stars, but there has certainly been no shortage of opportunities for Gainsbourg to show off her sophisticated brand of insouciance. In between promoting her latest film, Lars von Trier's Antichrist, collaborating with Beck on last year's cult classic IRM album, and being the face of Balenciaga's first fragrance, she has provided her loyal devotees with plenty of eye-candy, and we just couldn't wait to share some of our absolute favorites with you, dear readers. As always, we've got all of the details about her impressive dressing on hand, so get ready to cherchez la femme in today's Style Spotlight story!
Spotted backstage at the Chanel Haute Couture show in January, Gainsbourg looked laid backÂ--save for her Balenciaga Grey Raccoon Fur Coat ($15225, 212.206.0872) from the French fashion house's Pre Fall 2009 collection. Paired with her signature skinny-slouchy signature Notify Jeans ($205), the Antichrist-star looked both pared-down and decadent. Though her covetable coat is no longer available, please be sure to check out 3.1 Phillip Lim's Rex Rabbit Coat ($2500) or try BB Dakota's Annalise Faux Fur Coat ($170) for a more animal-friendly option. Gainsbourg wore a similar outfit to an Italian television appearance in February (above, top right), though instead of a fuzzy jacket she opted for Balenciaga's Black Leather Coat ($4295). We think Tory Burch's Richard Jacket ($795) is a very close approximation of her moto piece, so definitely check it out. Either outerwear way you go, make sure to pair it with Paige's Geo Skyline Peg Jeans ($199) or Current/Elliott's The Skinny Jeans ($216), plus either Steve Madden's Duvaal Boots ($100) or Joie's Elvis Suede Booties ($295), both dead-ringers for Gainsbourg's divinely worn-in R. Sole Irene Tobacco Suede Ankle Boots ($292)!
Of course the French muse's clothing repertoire extends beyond her favorite chic denim. While attending a Christmas lighting ceremony on the Champs Elysees in Paris late last year, Gainsbourg wore Balenciaga's Silk Tiger Print Blue Top, Black Chantilly Lace Bra, and Black Leather Pants, all from the F/W 09 collection. Since lingerie display is all the rage this spring, be sure to try Equipment's Daddy Blouse with Epaulets ($218) or Urban Outfitters' Pins and Needles Tiered Lace Button Top ($58) over Top Secret's Lace Bandeau ($44). All you need after that is Paige's Hyde Park Skinny Pants ($400) or Vince's Stretch Leather Leggings ($870) to get a little bit of luxurious leather into your life and you'll be set tout suite!
Gainsbourg sported another sophisticated separates-based ensemble to attend the Balenciaga F/W 10 show in Paris earlier this month. Her Pleated Leather Skirt ($9995), Beige Suede Boots ($995), and Brown Leather Coat ($2895) are stellar on their own, but worn together it proves that old adage that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. The runway-ready selections are certainly worth considering, but if you love the look we can recommend Myne's Arrow Print Skirt ($198) with your favorite oversized jacket and Marc by Marc Jacobs' Scallop Booties ($248) to mimic Gainsbourg's marvelous brand of chic.
Finally, we have the shining star of the Gainsbourg garment galaxy: the Black Jersey Crepe Dress ($5850) from Balenciaga's Pre Spring collection that she wore to the 35th annual Cesar Film Awards last month. The ruffle and zipper detail at the hem back this dress absolutely divine, and we love the universally flattering halter shape. Since the frock is obviously a dream dress for the rest of us, of course we found you a smart substitute. Be sure to check out Express' Ruffled Halter Dress ($60) for your next evening event! And though we are happy to help you track down all her exact clothing and look-a-like alternatives, when it comes to replicating our Style Spotlight subject's exact brand of chic insouciance, unfortunately, dear readers, you are on your own!Â--KM
