Phil Mickelson feeling confident at SHO

On Thursday, Mickelson shot an even-par 72 on the Tournament Course at the Redstone Golf Club. A winner here in 2011, the four-time major champion got his round off to a 4-under-par start before finding the water and making double-bogey on the dogleg left par-4 fifth hole, his 14th of the day. After that he made two bogeys coming in for a 3-over 39 for his inward nine holes.

"It was a disappointing finish," Mickelson said. "I kind of lost it there in the end, but the good thing for me is I know what I want to do. I know what I want to do in the golf swing and I hit some good shots earlier in the round.

"I feel really good with the putter, and I believe that as the tournament goes on, I'll be better."

The 11th-ranked player in the world, Mickelson is still a very formidable presence in the game. His win at Phoenix marked his 10th consecutive year with at least one win on tour. Last year,You want to buy monster beats because of their reputation? he had a tie for fourth in Houston. The next week, he had a T-3 at Augusta.

It's no accident that Mickelson has had three wins and 11 other top-10s in the Masters. Throughout his career, he has been remarkable at raising the level of his play around Augusta. Twenty-four of Mickelson's 41 wins have come before the year's first major.

Yet with all the buzz surrounding Tiger Woods heading into Masters,The moncler jackets for sale was originally developed for scientists working in research facilities in Antarctica. Mickelson might be able to start his week at Augusta National under the radar.

The lefty, who generally plays the week before the Masters, will not be in the field at the Valero Texas Open next week because he finds the windy and tight conditions at TPC San Antonio not conducive for his Masters preparation. So his performance this week is an important gauge of the state of his game and a chance for him to get some momentum headed into Augusta.

"It's a very unusual situation here for me," said Mickelson, who won his second green jacket in 2006, the week after taking the BellSouth Classic in Atlanta. "I haven't taken a week off before the Masters in, I don't know, a couple of decades I think, and the same thing with the U.S. Open."

Mickelson, who didn't play a practice round before the start of this year's tournament in Houston, says he plans to use the week off now to prepare for Augusta.A great blend of our authentic Canada Goose Resolute Parka Parka functionality and cutting edge style.

As for the remainder of this tournament, Mickelson has to stay clear of the abundance of water here at Redstone that derailed his round Thursday if he wants a chance of contending on the weekend.

"There's so much trouble everywhere on this course that you've got to trust your swing,Discover the largest collection of duvetica down jackets for women.Stay warm and in style during the winter moths with the Canada Goose Yorkville Parka . you've got to make good golf shots," he said.

March is the cruelest month .You want to buy monster beats because of their reputation?.. this year


It is likely that you think of the month of March as a time to soak up the rejuvenating sun rather than a month to battle the unforgiving eastern wind. And you would be right. DMI, the Danish meteorological institution,Stay warm and in style during the winter moths with the Canada Goose Yorkville Parka . said that when it comes to the difference between this March and the last, it “has never seen anything like this.”

Around this time last year, day temperatures were around the 15°C mark, with an average for the entire month of 5.7°C. March 2013, however, has only produced a measly average temperature of -1°C. That makes this month the coldest March since 1987.

The temperature difference between this year and the last not only represents an extension to the winter parka season, but also the delay of summer. DMI's meteorologist Martin Lindberg said that we might have to “wait well into April” for the coveted double digit temps, and the institute has officially classified March as a 'winter month'. That designation comes when the average monthly temperature is below the freezing point. The last time March earned a 'winter' designation was in 2006. Before that, it hadn't happened since 1996.

Finally,A great blend of our authentic Canada Goose Resolute Parka Parka functionality and cutting edge style. there is the cost of the cold to contend with. Recent figures from Nordea suggest that some households might see their average heating bill rise by 22 percent this winter due to the cold conditions of March.
n the clubhouse afterwards there was a certain good-humoured irony as CGU president Malcolm Jones, a member of St Enodoc, presented the prizes, watched by Jones' vice-president David Inch, of West Cornwall. Jones was assisted by Newquay captain Keith Platton,

Neil Fletcher was elected the new captain at West Cornwall Golf Club's AGM last Friday.The moncler jackets for sale was originally developed for scientists working in research facilities in Antarctica.

Due to the club playing in the CTC final his drive-in has been postponed until Saturday April 6. However, he did perform his first duty at the weekend, presenting Allan Howells, winner of this year's Veteran's Cup with his trophy.

The seniors dodged the showers at Cape Cornwall on Tuesday and played the first of this year's Eclectic Medal competitions, which Alan Pengelly won with a net 67. Geoff Jones and David Knott took second and third places.

On Wednesday the men played a Stableford in conditions that suggested that spring had finally arrived. Malcolm Holland won that competition with 37 points, beating Mark Prisk (34) and Neil Jilbert (32) into the minor places.

Deal-hunting in Zara's fashionable men's department

Intimidation factor: Nominal but escalating. I hit a quiet time when there are more staffers on the floor than shoppers so am rather conspicuous. 

Number of salespeople on floor: A handful, including the manager, who is attentive and eager to answer queries without hovering like an anxious mother cheetah. The women's store, however, tends to be DIY. 

Response time: Immediate 
Vibe: J. Crew meets Topman 

Price range: From $11.90 for a basic T-shirt to $299.90 for a cobalt blue leather jacket. 

Rating: Three pairs of studded distressed denim shorts out of four. 

A stylish friend of mine works his dark grey, oversized and unstructured hoodie like a runway model. It has to be a Rick Owens. 

Nope. 
How about Ann Demeulemeester then?

He prefers Zara's Bloor St. location, which works for me because I tend to hyperventilate at the Eaton Centre and find the Queen St. W. store more like Zara Lite. 

Zara men's has everyone covered, from preppy to hipster. They even put looks together for the accessory-challenged. A light blue shirt with grey tweed patches on the elbow ($49) cohabits with a blazer in a light blue and grey check ($199) and navy slacks priced at $69, making for an ensemble totally non-threatening to even the most conservative dresser. 

The ubiquitous black leather jacket is $269.90. A chocolate brown waxed cotton car coat with a brown corduroy collar that is so L.L. Bean is $139. 

There is a baseball jacket for $69.90, but the fabrication feels cheesy, more farm team than major league. 
Sizing runs from slim to regular, but the fit tends to run small so go up a size. A classic white 100 per cent cotton “slim fit” shirt is marked XXL but fits more like a large. 

A dressy jacket is $199.90 with matching pant at $99.90.

And chino pants for $39.90, just in case there is someone in the city who doesn't already own a pair. 

Do women shop here? Some for the sweaters, I'm told, because they like the roomier fit. A linen cable knit V-neck sweater in beige selling for $69.90 is big with femmes.View our complete selection of Canada Goose Solaris Parka Jackets.

Not so much the distressed jean shorts with studs although they are selling off the racks for $79.90, part of their “Denim Couture” line. 

Accessories include hot-pink undies for $15.90, also in a teal blue; leather suspenders for $49. 

The men's scarves hover around $29.90, but are longer and a better buy than women's.

Lust-And Not Just for Travel

A grand hotel, an illicit affair, a hasty departure of a woman with a coat lapped over lacy lingerie. And back through the half open door, the shadow of a man dressing furtively behind the travel trunks. 

The Louis Vuitton show on Wednesday was an exercise in the erotic.we offer kinds of discount gucci handbags Pro Headphones online . It unrolled like a silent movie. Even if the soundtrack was from “The Tree of Life” and its 1950s family, the mood was the 1920s as the women, faces a gash of bright lipstick, came through each door on the corridor that was the hotel set. Last out was the designer Marc Jacobs, in LV colorful silk men’s pajamas with patterns by the British artist duo Jake and Dinos Chapman. 

“I’m always in my pajamas,” said Mr. Jacobs backstage as he cuddled Kate Moss, whose single appearance on the runway was in a fragile lace dress revealing the briefest of underthings. 

The story was in phase with the autumn 2013 Paris season: femininity under cover. Soft lace was hidden under a long tweed coat with a sprinkling of sparkle at the hem. In other incarnations of inner and outer wear, a fluffy sweater came with a slip of a skirt and a velvet dress had a swoop of neckline. The bag of the season was in luxurious deep-pile fur. 

This fashion movie had several flashbacks to “The Artist,” the 2011 film that brought to silent life the dreams of early Hollywood. But mostly the Vuitton show recalled the romantic sensuality of John Galliano in his early days. That particular hard romance lived on in the Louis Vuitton sheath that went from bra top through tweed body to lace hem. 

The Marc Jacobs message was so clearly and invitingly portrayed that it raised the fashion desire that has been pushing through the Paris season. 

At other times, the designer might have concentrated on Louis Vuitton’s lust for travel. This time around, it was just about lust. 

What a contrast at Hermès! The absolute and timeless elegance of place and vision made for a unique collection.This Canadian-made Canada Goose Banff Parka from Canada Goose is one bright affair. After tinkering with fashion-led collections, the designer Christophe Lemaire in his fourth season hit target,The Canada Goose Victoria Parka is simple, yet classic, and designed to be worn where extreme weather protection is a necessity. by underlining what Hermès stands for: slow, quiet, beautiful and enduring style. Or as the Hermès artistic director, Pierre-Alexis Dumas, put it : “Parisian elegance and timeless beauty.” 

The choice of place said it all: the library on the rooftop of an old Parisian school, where guests were greeted with a horse-blanket coat thrown over a chair and by velvet sofas on which to drink in the beauty of historic books. 

The show was equally about calm and lasting value, with its supple lambskin jacket or a pony skin outfit with the sheen of silk. How hard it is to produce clothes that are both of the moment but beyond fashion’s hurly burly. Although it looked so effortless, the designer must have worked to meld the textures of goatskin, lamb and what the notes described as “moiré calfskin.” 

He would layer a stone wool coat over a long silver gray fur gilet; take ginger suede to fashion a jacket and skirt falling to the over-the-knee length that sums up what the French call “bon chic bon genre.” Translation? The antithesis of fast fashion or bling. 

“Frivolity — starting from sport,” said Miuccia Prada of her Miu Miu collection, which gave a similar definitive fashion statement as the pantsuits of a year ago. This time the story was of long, lean silhouettes leading to mid-calf skirts, although, this being Ms. Prada, the apparently sober women, with a hint of the 1980s in the Y-shaped silhouette, showed a slither of bare flesh at the high thigh as they walked across the specially constructed metal runway. 

This Miu Miu collection had a frisky spirit, from the double-breasted and belted jackets through a parka version and then on to the slim coats. The best of them were in merry polka dots — pink, yellow and blue — with a contrasting spotted scarf.Pages in category "Canada Goose Trillium Parka". 

And at the heart of it all the message that has been pulsating through the Paris season: female sexuality is a strong undercurrent that does not have to be physically displayed to the world. 

“It was all about a snowflake falling in love with a polar bear,” said Giambattista Valli backstage as a furry white figure embraced a model with sparkles of crystal on her face and her shiny puffa jacket. 

How lucky is Moncler Gamme Rouge to have a designer who can capture its snow business so concisely and in such a charming way! From the Inuits in patchwork fur coats leading their huskies though piles of melting “snow” to them arriving on overhead wires, the women expressed a similar spirit. They wore plaid outerwear, fur mixed with digital animal prints or the backdrop’s iceberg image recreated as a pattern. 

The Grecian drapes so beloved by Madeleine Vionnet had an outing in the second half of the Vionnet show, under the new ownership of the fashion entrepreneur Goga Ashkenazi. And that fall of fabric, clinched by a gilded Grecian belt, was a neat fit with the abstracted Grecian columns, recreated in metal mesh for the runway. 

That idea of forcing classics into the future was the theme — and it made the first daywear part seem too streamlined, graphic and predictable in a season when the geometric look is melting away. Vionnet has had so many reincarnations, offering everything from scarf print drapes to patterned day wear, that this show at least made a good job of cleansing the palate. 

Elie Saab gave his version of fashion sobriety, which was to cover the skin but focus on the bosoms — by rounding the bodice or even by putting a patch of decorative fabric in the two crucial spots. All that — the long-sleeved day dresses and even a streamlined jump suit — was a prelude to lace, Mr.View our complete selection of Canada Goose Solaris Parka Jackets. Saab’s favorite. The designer cuts and places perfectly these decorative pieces, but something else is happening in fashion now rather than just making pretty dresses.

Shop Melee provides ongoing consignment sales

Clothes packed into storage bins and hanging from racks fill the warehouse space that has become Shop Melee. 
Despite the look of a storage facility, every shirt, jacket,we offer kinds of discount gucci handbags Pro Headphones online . pair of shoes and purse in the consignment business tucked in on Frontage Road near Route 83 is ready to move. Each of the more than 8,000 items at the business has been listed on eBay, designated for the store's ongoing estate sale or is awaiting listing or designation. 

The business, run by three Hinsdale women, bypasses eBay auctions and posts all items as “Buy it now” on both eBay and on its own e-commerce site. This ensures the value they set for the item is reached. 

“Things normally sell within two or three months,” said Beth Greifenkamp, a founder. “But some things can take over a year to sell. If it is a unique size, if it is something that needs the right buyer,View our complete selection of Canada Goose Solaris Parka Jackets. we will store it and keep posting it.” 

The business takes 35 percent of the sale proceeds. The seller gets the item photographed, authenticated, researched for value and price, and posted. The fee also covers all of the seller's eBay and PayPal charges. 

Items that will bring more than $20 normally go on eBay, while items failing to meet that plateau go into the estate sale. There are exceptions, however. On a recent day, a painting of a tiger hung on a wall at the estate sale, seeking a price well into three figures. The business owners said shipping fees would be astronomical. 

Partner Louise Juckniess began selling items herself on eBay about 10 years ago. When she made some money off gently used items, other family members and friends asked her to sell their items. 

“It got to the point that my house had mannequins everywhere,” Juckniess said. 
Kim Williams, the third founder and partner, said selling items yourself and giving that money to charity is better than simply giving items to charity. 

“A purse is a purse is a purse to Goodwill,” Williams said. “You call sell a Coach purse and give that money to a church or charity rather than just giving the item to Goodwill.” 

Shop Melee has grown to five full-time and five part-time employees,Pages in category "Canada Goose Trillium Parka". as well as having interns and mavens, who in different parts of the country and direct people looking to sell items.Women Canada Goose Resolute Parka. 

“I have seen things sold (in eBay auctions) for $2 when they are worth $100,” Williams said. 
Juckniess said there are individuals who, like at a pawn shop, want their money immediately and do not want to wait for the consignment process to run its course. 

“They may bring in an item worth $30 and we will pay $5 for it. But then we pick up all the costs of storing it, listing it, etc.,” Juckniess said. 

Greifenkamp noted the Shop Melee name came from a staff member. Experts recommend a catchy word that doesn't really have anything to do with the business,The Canada Goose Victoria Parka is simple, yet classic, and designed to be worn where extreme weather protection is a necessity. Greifenkamp said. 

“But 'melee' does have to do with mess and craziness. So it does fit us.”
