Nina Ricci Spring 2012
For the setting of his enchanting Nina Ricci show, Peter Copping veiled the gilded plasterwork walls of a stately ballroom on the Avenue Foch in filmy white muslin. In his collection too, the house's past was revealed in sweet little winks and nods—from the trellised straw cache-chignon hats (a nod to the fanciful creations of the great hairdresser Alexandre, who once coiffed the Ricci girls) to the cork-heeled winklepicker stilettos, laser-pierced to resemble eyelet, but Copping had added a layer of sportif modernity that washed over the ladylike, ultrafeminine romance for which Ricci has been known since the heady days of the 1930s and 40s.
It was during that period that the eponymous founder commissioned the Russian-born artist Zina de Plagny to scatter her frocks with blossom and bloom patterns. Copping found some of those print designs and recalibrated them for his collection, which he named for the artist.
Copping does urban clothing with more than a dab of L'Air du Temps, the house's iconic fragrance. A little bomber jacket in midnight satin, perhaps, or the elements of a biker jacket translated into an enveloping coat in sorbet-pink cloque, or wide, slouchy pants worn with a matinee jacket of flowering white cotton lace. He also deconstructed some of his looks, proposing the underwear-as-outerwear bra tops of the season under cardigans perhaps.
For grand evenings, bare shoulders and artisanally draped bodices were traced with trembling golden petal embroidery—"very couture-y," as Copping himself said.

LAGUNA BEACH – Investigators will be back at the scene of a fatal collision Tuesday morning, trying to determine how the deadly crash occurred last week and the role a third vehicle played.
Laguna Beach police will shut down Laguna Canyon Road in both directions from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, from the 73 toll road to El Toro Road, said Sgt. Louise Callus.
The closure is part of the continuing investigation of a fatal crash involving a Tesla sedan and a Honda Accord carrying Armando Garcia-Gonzalez, 38, and Alberto Casique-Salinas, 47.
Garcia-Gonzalez and Casique-Salinas were killed when the Tesla's driver veered into oncoming traffic on April 2. The two vehicles crashed head-on.
Why the Tesla's driver went into opposing lanes is unknown, Callus said.
The Tesla's driver, who has not been identified by police, reported a white Mercedes-Benz also was involved in the crash, she said.
Callus would not say what role the Mercedes-Benz played in the crash.
"They're still putting all the pieces together," she said of crash investigators.
Police have located the Mercedes-Benz and interviewed its driver, she said. No arrests or citations have been issued.

Jackson falters early, Cubs' rally falls short
Right-hander gives up nine runs, three homers in 3 2/3 innings
CHICAGO -- Edwin Jackson didn't hold back when assessing his outing on Saturday.
Jackson surrendered nine earned runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- in just 3 2/3 innings as the Braves pounded the Cubs, 11-6, at a humid Wrigley Field. The outing ballooned Jackson's ERA to 5.64.
"It was just one of those games where it was just embarrassing, how horrendous -- flat-out, no other way to put it," he said. "The team does a great job of battling back, and you continuously go out and give up the lead -- pretty much just unacceptable.
"It's one of those games to put way back in the back of the memory bank."
The game was up for grabs after three innings with the score tied at 3. Then came the fourth, in which the Braves sent 10 men to the plate, pounded two homers and hung a six-spot on the board.
Chris Johnson smacked a two-run homer to left two batters into the inning, but Jackson retired the next two on grounders. One out away from getting out of the inning down just two runs, Braves starter Mike Minor smacked a solo shot to left for just the second home run of his career.
Jackson then loaded the bases on walks to B.J. Upton and Freddie Freeman sandwiched around a single by Andrelton Simmons, and the starter was yanked. Carlos Villanueva came in and served up a three-run double to Justin Upton that put Atlanta ahead 9-3 and closed the book on Jackson.
"To me, today was just not his day," manager Rick Renteria said of Jackson. "Both sides were kind of going back and forth with scoring runs on each other, and we just tried to help him out there a little bit, but it just wasn't his day."
The Cubs fought back with three runs in the fifth, when Arismendy Alcantara, Justin Ruggiano and Anthony Rizzo loaded the bases on singles. Alcantara scored on a passed ball and Chris Coghlan drove in two with a two-out double to left.
Chicago took a 2-0 lead in the first on Ruggiano's RBI single and Coghlan's two-out RBI double four batters later. The Braves responded in the second on Johnson's first two-run homer, which came after a Jason Heyward one-out walk.
"Hopefully, that's just another aspect of my game I'm trying to work on, that power stroke," Johnson said. "But I'm not trying to hit home runs. I hit the first one pretty good. The second one was just a line drive and caught a good day in Wrigley."
The Braves tallied a run in the third on a B.J. Upton double, and the Cubs tied it up in the bottom half. Ruggiano led off with a double and scored on Welington Castillo's two-out double that Justin Upton misjudged in center, as the ball deflected off his glove while he was jumping.
The bright spots of the day came from Alcantara, Ruggiano and Coghlan, who combined to go 7-for-12 with four runs, four doubles and four RBIs.
Coghlan is hitting .429 with eight doubles, two homers and 10 RBIs in 12 July games, while Alcantara is 7-for-18 with three RBIs and five runs scored through his first four Major League games.
Jackson, meanwhile is tasked with figuring out what went wrong during a rough first half. His overall ERA is skewed by a 6.05 mark in 10 road starts, and prior to Saturday's outing, he had a 3.86 ERA in eight home starts.
Either way, it hasn't been pretty. Jackson fell to 13-27 with a 5.23 ERA since joining the Cubs last season.
"At the end of the day, you have two options. You can accept it and fold or take it as a slap in the face and turn around and do something about it," Jackson said.
"We have a long second half. There's definitely a lot of baseball left. I feel like I can definitely turn things around and have a better second half and have the whole first half forgotten about.
"But at the end of the day, those are pretty much the only options. There's no in between."

Double R Burgers With Ham and Cheddarby Robin Miller in Uncategorized, September 24, 2012
When I think of college fast-food runs, no memory is complete without including the Double R Bar Burger from Roy Rogers: a char-grilled beef burger with melted cheddar and thinly-sliced deli ham. For greater perfection, I always added tons of pickles. Just writing about it makes me salivate.
These days, when the craving for the Double R Bar strikes, two problems occur. One, the burger isn't available nationwide. Two, when you DO find it, you're faced with a sandwich that has 549 calories, 27 grams of fat (11 of which are saturated) and 1349 milligrams of sodium. The calories might not seem horrific, but that explains my unquenchable thirst. And as if that's not enough, there's even a Double Double R Bar Burger with 876 calories, 49 grams of fat (20 saturated) and 1997 milligrams of sodium (a good year, not a good number for salt).
Happily, I created a similarly fabulous burger in the comfort of my own home. I used ground turkey instead of beef and cut the sodium in the ham and the fat in the cheese. Here's the best part: I tested the recipe on a bunch of 10 year old boys (at my house for a sleepover). They all demanded seconds!
Note: Grilling the burgers on a stove-top grill pan really helps add that Roy Rogers flavor.
Double R Turkey Burgers
Cooking spray
1 pound ground turkey breast
2 teaspoons minced dried onion (sold in the spice aisle)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese (4 slices)
4 hamburger buns (regular or whole wheat)
4 ounces thinly sliced reduced-sodium smoked ham
Coat a stove-top grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high.
In a large bowl, combine the turkey and onion and mix well. Shape mixture into 4 equal patties, each about 1 inch thick. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper. Place the burgers on the hot pan and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Top the burgers with cheese and cook 30 seconds, until cheese melts. Arrange the burgers on the buns and top with sliced ham.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/1/2014 (1317 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It would be grossly premature, of course, to suggest this proves it really was Claude Noel's fault all along.
But it is also undeniable that the Winnipeg Jets who took to the ice at the MTS Centre Monday night in head coach Paul Maurice's Winnipeg debut demonstrated an enthusiasm and work ethic under their new boss that were both in short supply under Noel this month -- and absent entirely for the past week.
Maybe it was the message Noel's firing on Sunday sent -- no one's job on this team is safe anymore. Maybe it was the collective shame that this team's woeful underperformance had cost a good man his job. Maybe it was just the shock that this is what it had finally come to.
But whatever it was, the Jets team on display in a 5-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes looked a lot like the team Noel steadfastly maintained all season this group could be, but so seldom actually was.
They won the battles in the corners, played solidly in their own end, took advantage of their offensive opportunities and got the kind of confident goaltending from Ondrej Pavelec that comes when you actually give the poor guy a little support.
Should you order ticker tape this morning for the championship parade down Portage Avenue? Hardly. While this Jets team looked immeasurably better than they did in woeful losses last week to Columbus and Tampa Bay, it is also a cold, hard fact that Monday night's heroics came against a Coyotes team that limped into Winnipeg having lost four of their previous five games and who looked every bit like a struggling team last night, getting outshot 24-8 at one point in the second period.
Still, there's life once again in what was beginning to resemble a corpse in recent weeks. And where there's life, there's hope.
"It's huge. Everyone can kind of take a breath and get back to work," Jets captain Andrew Ladd said last night. "It was a tough time -- a five-game winless streak. And everyone in here wanted to get back on track, but it didn't seem like anything was going right.
"So nice to get a win and get some excitement back in this room."
Special night for new boss
Ladd gave Maurice the game puck after the game -- a memento the new Jets coach says he will treasure.
"I'm going to give it to my family," said Maurice. "I'm not much of a collector. I've got a jersey from every team I've ever coached. And I've got three or four pucks that mean a whole lot to me and that's certainly among them."
Maurice said he was blown away both by the MTS Centre crowd and the surprising speed of his team Monday night and felt his team's energy levels were extraordinarily high. But one win, Maurice cautioned, does not a season make.
"It's one game. And tomorrow we'll go to work like today never happened, except we'll smile a little more before we start barking," said Maurice. "It's there -- but we have to take another step forward. It was good enough for tonight but we can't rely on that being good enough for the next game. We have to get better."
A team effort
After falling behind 1-0 midway through the first period, it was all Winnipeg the rest of the way as the Jets got goals from Olli Jokinen, Eric O'Dell (his 2nd in two games after scoring his first ever in the NHL on Saturday), Blake Wheeler, Michael Frolik and -- for the first time in 19 games -- Devin Setoguchi.
And, for a change, Winnipeg matched a solid offensive effort with some decent defensive play in front of Pavelec, who was solid in turning away 18 shots and flashed some serious leather all night long.
"It wasn't easy, that's for sure, what happened (on Sunday)," said Pavelec. "And I think we responded really well...The whole team was really focussed and everyone did a great job."
Buff shining
Playing in his second consecutive game at forward, but on a new line this night that had him on the wing with Jokinen and Setoguchi, Dustin Byfuglien once again was an impact player -- notching two assists, driving the net at every opportunity and, most importantly, not making any of those costly giveaways that were so maddening when he was lining up on the blue-line.
Put it altogether and Byfuglien now has three points in his last two games as a forward and looks very much like a guy who's found a renewed lease on life playing up front.
Did the Jets seem to be playing better Monday night under Paul Maurice? Join the conversation in the comments below.

Fly Fish Texas: You're One Day Away from a Lifetime of Fun
ATHENS—Tie a fly. Cast a fly. Catch a fish.
That's all there is to fly-fishing, and Fly Fish Texas is the place to learn it. The annual event takes place March 12 at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center.
Show hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All Fly Fish Texas activities are free with regular paid admission to the center.
"Fly Fish Texas is a great show and the only event of its kind," said Walter McLendon of Lufkin, who has organized the show since its beginning. "Other shows cater to people who are already fly-fishers, but we try to introduce people to fly-fishing."
Fly Fish Texas emphasizes hands-on learning and immediate application of newly acquired skills. Visitors can collect aquatic insects from the center's streams, tie a fly to imitate one of those insects under the supervision of a skilled tier, learn to cast it from a certified fly-casting instructor, then use it to catch a rainbow trout from one of TFFC's stocked ponds or streams.
Vendors will be displaying and selling fly-fishing gear, and seminars will brief visitors on where and how to fly-fish in Texas fresh and salt waters for a variety of species. The program will include presentations on fly-fishing locations such as the Devils River, the Texas Hill Country, tailwaters below dams and urban waters.
Speakers will also detail where fish are and how to fish for them in both salt and fresh water. In addition, instruction will be available on rigging a kayak for fly-fishing, leader making and Spey rod casting. For a complete schedule of activities and seminars plus a video of the event, visit http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/ and click on the Fly Fish Texas link.
The Dallas Fly Fishers will teach classes for beginning fly-fishers; pre-registration is required and is available by calling Craig Brooks at (903) 670-2222. Instruction will lead to basic fly-fisher certification by TPWD and will focus onlearning about fly-fishing equipment, performing the basic four-part cast, sampling aquatic insects to see what fish eat, discussing freshwater ecology, how to tie useful fishing knots, learning about safety and ethics issues associated with fly-fishing and fly-tying.
Food service will be available including Cajun crawfish boils, Texas barbecue and fair-type food.
Event sponsors include Sabine River Authority, Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites – Athens, Dallas Fly Fishers, Temple Fork Outfitters, Red Hat Rentals, Best Western Royal Mountain Inn – Athens, Friends of TFFC and Cripple Creek BBQ.

The Battle of Trenton
26 Dec 1776 — Trenton, New Jersey
John Sullivan led one of two columns troops during the famous Battle of Trenton against the Hessians on 26 December 1776. Surprising the Hessians (who contrary to myth were not drunk), Sullivan's troops attacked from the west and south, while Nathanael Greene's troops attacked from the north. Henry Knox led the artillery. Despite lacking their full strength of troops, the Americans won the battle in less than an hour with very few casualties, providing them with a much-needed morale boost.

I just got the same TV but 60"
Also transportation is a bit iffy, since you only should transport a Plasma vertically, don't lay it down or the display could take damage.
I wish I had $1,000 to spend...
