Strictly sparkle takes over the High Street! KATE GARRAWAY shows off the latest fashions inspired by the ballroom craze
As I slipped on the silver flapper dress, I felt a tingle of excitement run down my spine.
The fringes swung around my knees and, instinctively, I lifted my arms and shimmied. Suddenly, I felt fun, flirty and fabulous.
Not content with dominating our Saturday nights, it seems that Strictly Come Dancing has also infected the High Street with dance fever. I may not have learned much about dancing during my own Strictly stint in 2007 — I'll never forget Arlene Phillips saying I was 'as sexy as a coconut' — but the show taught me about the transforming power of a glamorous dress.
I used to be chaotic and unkempt. I had the biggest dry-cleaning bill on Daybreak because I was always on the run and spilling coffee on myself.
When my professional partner Anton du Beke arrived for our first rehearsal in a suit and tie, I couldn't understand why he was frowning on my sloppy clothes and ancient trainers.
'Why don't you wear something that makes you feel good?' he asked. 'Nobody's watching us!' I protested. 'I'll smarten up when I'm on telly!'
When I took to the studio floor in one brightly-coloured, low-cut, sequin-encrusted number after another, I realised he was right.
Now, as the days are getting darker and colder, the nation's women are about to get just the blast of glitz and glamour they need. I decided to try the best of the High Street's Strictly fashion.
Rumba razzle-dazzle
£99 Marks & Spencer
This has me itching to try out my rumba steps.
I was sure this was from an expensive designer boutique and couldn't believe it when I discovered it came from M&S.
Like most 40-something women (I'm 46) I'm a huge Marks fan but I think of it as a place to get jumpers — and knickers — rather than elegant evening wear.
Clearly, I'm going to have to re-think.
For me, this dress epitomises the best of Strictly style. It is very glamorous but so loose and comfortable, I could almost imagine myself doing the splits in it.
The clever thing about the designs on Strictly is that the razzle-dazzle comes from the materials used in making the dresses rather than because the cut or style is plunging or revealing.
This dress is a great take-off of that technique.
The shimmery fringes dazzle but the cut slides over your curves rather than clinging to them, so you don't feel you have to hold yourself in.
It would be perfect to wear to any party and you could even take it out to lunch with the girls if you wore a long black jacket over the top.
'I wish you owned this dress,' sighs my seven-year-old daughter Darcey. 'Because you look like a proper dancer in it. And I could have it when I grow up.'
Hot for a foxtrot
£160 Coast
Coast is my go-to store for any awards do — it's brilliant for occasion wear. I love this cobalt blue dress with its beautiful frothiness, and could even imagine wearing it for a romantic foxtrot if it were a foot or so longer.
It's flattering, too — the wide bottom makes my own bottom and waist look tiny, and because it's cut under the bust, it hides a multitude of stomach sins.
I put it on and immediately feel like a million dollars.
And the colour is fabulous. In this autumnal period, it can feel like we're stuck in black and grey until February, but since doing Strictly, I've learned that bright colours are nothing to be afraid of — they can make you feel happier and look younger, too.
Funky in Feathers
£195 John Lewis
I don't feel confident about wearing this feathered dress, as I'm worried I'll end up looking like Sesame Street's Big Bird.
But once I wiggle into it, I'm relieved to find I look elegant rather than eccentric.
The modern, understated colour tones down the flamboyance of the feathers and makes the dress look funky, not fussy. And the simple halterneck top shows off my arms and contrasts beautifully with the skirt.
Gazing at myself in the mirror, I feel chic and well-turned out; I can see myself wearing this dress if I have to interview an A-lister on the red carpet and it would be perfect for formal work dinners.
Tango Temptress
£495 LK Bennett
The other dresses have a subtle sexiness about them but this one screams seduction.
It looks like it was made for an Argentine tango and is so tight, I have no choice but to walk with a wiggle. I feel like such a minx!
And yet it is not too revealing, showing no cleavage and not too much leg, either.
Although this isn't cheap, it's a great investment buy. I could imagine wearing it in 20 years time and still knocking my husband dead.
I show it to my friend, TV presenter Clare Nasir. 'I can imagine you funking it up with a pair of crazy boots,' she says. Close your ears, Anton.
Fabulous flapper
£325 Jigsaw
I've always been a bit wary of 1920s styles — I've got big hips and a small waist so assumed they wouldn't suit me.
But I think this actually looks great. There's something incredibly elegant about this period and this dress feels beautifully-made, with the tiny beads and all the detail. It's the opposite of grunge.
This one is definitely my mum's favourite.
'You look so elegant in this,' she says.'It's nice to see you in a skirt of a proper length for a change.' Hmm.
I can't say I feel overtly sexy, but I feel free, comfortable and smart. And again, it's a dress that I could imagine hanging on to for a long time — long after my Charleston days are behind me.

Valentia Even Glow Vitamin C Serum
Valentia Even Glow Serum, with 20% vitamin C, I had tried many vitamin C serums from Avon to GNC. They were all very oily, greasy, and stinky. It was like putting medicine on my face. The Valentia serum is very light and fresh, skin quenching, and has a pleasant citrus-Y scent. Not at all what I expected. I immediately saw an instant glow on my face without the tiny glitter particles that a lot of companies hide in their beauty products. It was a natural healthy glow, not a fake one. I've been using the product for two weeks and can see it evening out my complexion. Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My New Cassani Fogless Mirror
Cassani fogless shower mirror! Although there's a man on the cover of the box I think women can benefit from it in many ways too. Having a mirror in my shower now makes shaving facial hair and my nightly beauty routine so much easier. The steam in the shower opens your pores and softens your skin making for a closer shave. I use the mini facial razors from the dollar Japanese store which hang perfectly on the wall mount holder. No more red skin irritation from shaving on dry skin. I have a facial mask obsession and find the mirror convenient when thoroughly rinsing off my face. It will also come in handy when rinsing off hair dye. I can catch any spots I might have missed on my hairline or scalp. Usually I have to step out of the shower dripping water to check out my hairline. Having the mirror up in the shower opened up the space, making it visual and room like. You can see I'm already enjoying myself in my new Happy Meal Monster High glasses. Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

NEW from Neil Diamond- "Melody Road"
He's baaaack and still looking good! Neil Diamond is back with a new album titled, "Melody Road." He is an American icon, a classic, with his unique, one-of-a kind rich enveloping voice. But you already knew that! Growing up, I was one of those kids whose mother continuously looped his vinyl album, "The Jazz Singer" over and over again. I remember my mom and my God mother going to his concert making friends with B.B. Kings niece who they met in line. This collection is very reflective, dreamy, with storytelling, love stories everyone can relate to representing the past, present and future. My favorite song on the album is "Seongah and Jimmy." It's a pretty song, charming, and has a lot of melodic stuff going on in it. I also like "Alone at the Ball," I visualize the people in the story in my mind, like a music video. These songs could be used in movie soundtracks. Also "Ooo...Do I Wanna be Yours." It got me moving my feet. I think I would appreciate this music even more listening to it live in concert. Look out for his upcoming tour in 2015. I think I'm getting my mother tickets. We'll make it a night of reminiscing. An outdoor venue would be nice with lots of wine. That's the vibe I get from this album. "Melody Road" is available right now at iTunes and Amazon. Don't forget to check out the Official Neil Diamond website. or YouTube channel. Disclosure statement: I participated in the Neil Diamond Melody Road album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided a free album to review but all opinions are my own.

Seattle-based icebreaker called off from Antarctic rescue mission
The Seattle-based U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker Polar Star won't be needed after all to help free two ships that had been trapped in heavy pack ice in Antarctica.
The Associated Press
The Coast Guard says its Seattle-based icebreaker, the Polar Star, is no longer needed for an Antarctic rescue mission after both a Russian research ship and a Chinese icebreaker that tried to help the Russian vessel broke free of heavy pack ice.
The Coast Guard Pacific Area command center in Alameda, Calif., said Tuesday it had been told by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority that both ships were free and the Polar Star's help was no longer necessary.
The Polar Star, the Coast Guard's only active heavy polar icebreaker, left its Seattle homeport last month on a mission to break a channel through the sea ice of McMurdo Sound to allow the resupply and refueling of the U.S. Antarctic Program's McMurdo and Amundsen-Scott South Pole stations. It was asked last Friday to help the stranded ships.
The 399-foot-long ship will now return to its original mission.
The Russian research ship, the Akademik Shokalskiy, which had been at the center of a rescue drama, broke free from heavy pack ice hours after a Chinese icebreaker that became trapped while trying to help it.
The Akademik Shokalskiy had been trapped in ice-clogged Commonwealth Bay since Christmas Eve, while the Chinese ship that came to its rescue, Xue Long — Snow Dragon in Chinese — reported last week it, too, was stuck.
But the Snow Dragon was able to use its helicopter to retrieve 52 scientists, journalists and tourists from the Russian ship. They are now on their way home aboard an Australian icebreaker, Aurora Australis.
The Chinese official Xinhua news agency reported from the Snow Dragon on Tuesday that it had successfully escaped after making a 100-degree turn and pushing away the ice, and opening up a channel of water.
Russia's state news agency ITAR-Tass reported that the Akademik Shokalskiy, with its crew members who had stayed on board, was making its way out of the dense ice on its own, too.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority's Rescue Coordination Centre, which is responsible for rescues in the region, said it was informed early Wednesday that both ships had managed to break free and were making slow progress through lighter ice conditions toward open water.
The Snow Dragon had advised that it no longer required further assistance. The center was awaiting confirmation from the Russian ship on Wednesday that it also did not require further assistance.
The Polar Star cut short an Australian stopover on Sunday to head to the rescue of the two icebreakers by clearing a navigational path. The journey from Sydney was expected to take the 122-meter (399-foot) cutter a week.
"Polar Star will continue to head toward the area until it is clear that both vessels are free of the ice field and no longer in danger," the center said in a statement.

Scargill: plot victim or 'brat'?
Sunday 01 August 1993
Two books, scheduled for publication during the Trades Union Congress and Labour Party conferences this autumn, offer conflicting views of the decline within a decade of a leader who took control of the most powerful union in Britain.
Seumas Milne, labour correspondent of the Guardian, concludes in The Enemy Within that the National Union of Mineworkers has been reduced to its present divided and impotent state by a conspiracy.
Mr Milne, who has described his book as a whodunnit, will claim that Conservative ministers used the security services to sabotage the 1984-85 miners' strike and infiltrate the union's national executive committee to thwart its freedom of action. The Government then manipulated energy policy grotesquely to ensure contraction of coal-mining and NUM power, he claims.
Mr Scargill, a proud Yorkshire proletarian, has co-operated with Mr Milne, son of Alasdair, the former director-general of the BBC.
But Paul Routledge, a former labour editor of the Times who is also proud of his Yorkshire proletarian roots, has met tight-lipped resistance to his biography, suitably titled Scargill: The Unauthorized Biography. The NUM president refused him an interview, and so did members of the small circle of ageing activists still loyal to Mr Scargill; others, once close, have been candid and damning.
Fearful anticipation of what they might say was rumoured to have led Mr Scargill to encourage Mr Milne's book, to limit damage threatened by the Routledge researches. The rivalry between a pro-Scargill scion of the Establishment and an anti-Scargill, determinedly unsophisticated Yorkshire nationalist has delighted the labour movement.
Mr Milne, who dug into the story from the Scargillite left, began his book several months before Mr Routledge, from a more sceptical starting point on the left, foresaw a conclusive round of pit closures and decided that the time was ripe for a full biography.
It will run from cradle to political grave. At the TUC and Labour conferences, Mr Scargill can expect to be marginalised by unambiguous condemnation of his leadership of the NUM, which has shrunk to a membership of around 15,000.
Mr Routledge believes many sources were unwilling to speak to him either under persuasion from Mr Scargill or because of the 'extraordinary' loyalty felt to the NUM. 'The argument goes: an attack on Arthur Scargill is an attack on the union which is an attack on you.
'Arthur plays on the loyalty of the men. He's traded on it shamelessly over the years, and when you come close to a man like that, it is a voyage of disillusion.'
Mr Routledge and Mr Scargill once enjoyed 'a sensible professional relationship, as close as any in his days as Yorkshire NUM president'. But a schism opened during the strike; Mr Routledge does not know why.
Mr Milne has told friends that only Roger Windsor, the former NUM official who later accused Mr Scargill of maladministration, refused him an interview. The NUM president gave one.
It is expected to endorse 'some spooky things' Mr Milne discovered about the activities of GCHQ, MI5, and those who have criticised Mr Scargill in newspaper and television disclosures.
Mr Routledge, using erstwhile private archives and some 60 interviews, has a less conspiratorial explanation of the NUM president: 'Forget politics - he's a spoiled brat.'

• Metrolinx expects to save $20 million by procuring 10,000 Presto card readers for the TTC in-house rather than using a private provider for the procurement. A Dec. 13 article about the rising costs of the Presto card incorrectly said that Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig did not provide a figure for the estimated savings.
• A Dec. 10 editorial calling for an inquiry into missing aboriginal women in Canada mistakenly said that many of serial killer Robert Pickton's victims had been abused while at residential schools. In fact, the article should have stated that an inquiry into the Pickton investigation heard evidence that some of the victims carried intergenerational scars left from Canada's Indian residential schools.

delight' at the beauty of bugs, but still clinging to Christianity
THIS is the first part of a projected two-volume biography. Charles Darwin: Voyaging covers the period from Darwin's birth in Shrewsbury in February 1809 to his long-delayed decision, in May 1856, to write out his book on the theory of evolution. Janet Browne has an impressive knowledge of the archive (she worked for years on the Cambridge edition of Darwin's correspondence) and plenty of room to demonstrate it: her two volumes should add up to at least 1,000 pages.
She begins with a brisk introduction to Darwin's financially comfortable family, his mother a member of the Wedgwood potter family, his father an astute doctor whose own father, Erasmus Darwin, propounded evolutionary ideas in his book Zoonomia and his poem "The Temple of Nature" (he also turned down a request from George III to be the royal "mad-doctor"). She adds little to previous accounts of his outwardly unremarkable childhood, however, and makes no use of John Bowlby's striking discussion (in Charles Darwin, 1990) of Darwin's reaction to his mother's death when he was eight.
The academic politics and general intellectual set of Edinburgh, where Darwin spent two years as an increasingly discontented medical student from 1825-27, are well described, and Browne's account of Darwin at Cambridge from 1828-31, ostensibly preparing for ordination but more often occupied with shooting ("bliss on earth"), riding, dining and increasingly passionate beetling ("I am dying by inches, from not having anybody to talk to about insects") has a good flat clarity.
Darwin combined ambition with dilatoriness, high spirits with reserve, geniality with ob- stinacy, conservatism with innate intellectual radicalism, and deep independence of mind with a habit of intellectual discipleship that seemed to some like toadying. He was kind to many; to others he appeared proud, "aloof, snobbish in a certain withdrawn way". All in all he was a rather normal, clever young man, uncertain of his calling.
Browne allows herself 180 pages for the voyage of HMS Beagle from 1831-6, and is able to give a more measured sense of the whole than Adrian Desmond and James Moore (in their Darwin, 1991), for all their happy laconic zip. As she points out, Darwin spends nearly two thirds of the voyage on land - his mind, as he says, "a perfect hurricane of delight" on the Cap Verde islands, "a chaos of delight" in the Brazilian forest near Bahia, "red hot with spiders" near Rio de Janeiro, where he writes in the saddle: "twiners entwining twiners - tresses like hair - beautiful lepidoptera - silence - hosannah". He has enormous stamina. He rides all day, shoots well, sleeps rough, practises throwing the bolas, smokes cigarritos, grows a black beard. In Tierra del Fuego he feels like a bear in an overcoat, a chimney sweep, a grand "banditti". He witnesses an earthquake and a volcanic eruption on the west coast of South America. He sees that the earth is a harsher thing than the "soft green object" (in Browne's words) of England.
As a collector he concentrates on insects and very small animals: "Many of these creatures so low in the scale of nature are most exquisite in their forms & rich colours. - It creates a feeling of wonder that so much beauty should be apparently created for so little purpose." Wonder like this tips into scepticism about divine creation, but Darwin remains a believer (according to his autobiography) throughout the voyage of the Beagle.
Back home he takes up his life's work, publishing The Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle (1838-43), his Journal of Researches (1839), and his books on coral reefs, volcanic islands, and the geology of South America (1842-46), spreading his nets of correspondence wide, filling his notebooks with wonderful speculations on the origin of species, and launching into eight years of work on his "beloved barnacles". In January 1839 he marries his cousin Emma Wedgwood. The first of their ten children is born in December 1839, the last in 1856. His chronic illness establishes itself (Bowlby argues plausibly that it was hyperventilation syndrome), and in 1842 the family moves from Gower Street in London to Down House in Kent. Darwin's first sketch of the theory of evolution dates from 1838; he writes it out in some detail in 1844, but hesitates to publish, anxious for further proofs, afraid of the controversy and the offence to his wife's Christianity.
Browne handles the great tide of facts reasonably well, but this is not the "definitive natural history" of Charles Darwin, as David Bellamy claims in the publicity material. Browne's exposition of Darwin's theories is often rather unclear, and is not always sufficiently complete even for biographical purposes. She also regularly and frustratingly fails to give any clear indication of whether the theories are right or wrong. Her book lacks the penetration - and factual brilliance - of Desmond and Moore's biography.
There is a more serious problem. Whatever her conscious sentiments, Browne does not appear to like Darwin very much. As the book progresses, it acquires a backtaste of animosity. It is as if she feels that Darwin has been too much and too easily loved, not least by his biographers. This is her right, but her apparent ill-spiritedness, however well suppressed, interferes with her understanding. So does her obsession with class, and her mistaken determination - which she shares with Desmond and Moore - to see Darwin's theory of evolution as quintessentially a product of the social and political conditions of his time.
She asserts that "the theory of natural selection could only have emerged out of the competitive context of Victorian England", and that "Darwin could only have hit upon it by thinking of the living world as a financial balance sheet". There is no reason to believe this dogmatic historicism. Like many others, Browne cannot feel the autonomy of the realm of ideas, scientific or otherwise. She underestimates its openness to accident and the contingency of genius, and the extent to which it has its own imperatives, its own internal dynamic, its own processes of evolution, its own history. If David Hume had become a passionate naturalist, and had gone round the world a century before Darwin, I have no doubt that he would have hit on the theory of evolution by natural selection, and that the historicists would have dutifully referred us to Adam Smith and the origins of the industrial revolution.
Letters raise very special and delicate issues of interpretation. Browne misreads homesickness as prejudice, unexceptionable patriotism as ugly nationalism. Mocking Darwin for his prejudice with regard to other cultures, she displays exactly the attitude she criticises. Her Darwin "gushes", "crows" and "brags", as Darwin did not. There are other objections to her gen-erally worthwhile book - the clich-shattered opening, the mistake on the second page, the shifting of an 1836 letter well into 1837 for the sake of a neat ending - but the main problem, perhaps, is one of temperament. Sympathy is an indispensable research tool, and Brown doesn't sufficiently understand her subject.

Relatives, legislator want more security for convenience store workers
Briggs, 45, shot in head Wednesday during robbery
INDIANAPOLIS - The gas station clerk who was shot in the head Wednesday night remained in grave condition Friday.
Harry Briggs, 45, was shot multiple times during an attempted robbery at the gas station where he worked on the city's southwest side.
The latest shooting of a convenience store worker has many calling for legislation that will provide better security in the workplace.
Legislation proposed last session didn't go far, but Perry Tole has not given up.
His sister-in-law Marci Birnell was shot in the head at a Village Pantry on the city's northwest side in 2011.
She survived the shooting, but will never live independently. Tole wants store owners to build barriers that will protect the store workers from gun-toting criminals.
"The stores that have barriers are not the ones that are being robbed. Those aren't the stores where people are being shot and killed. If you put the barriers up, you will protect people. It's physics. Put a solid barrier between a gun and an individual and that individual is much less likely to be shot. But these people refuse to do it because of their corruption and their greed," Tole said.
"Other states, Florida and others, have taken real steps. I had a draft bill that was a compromise, it would have gotten a lot of this done and reduced the risk. Maybe the alternative is we have to pay people $15 an hour if they have to risk their life. These people are getting $7 to $8 an hour to risk their lives, this really can't go on," Rep. Ed Delaney, D-Indianapolis, said.
Delaney said he is undeterred. He will reintroduce legislation that was squashed last session.

Ryan Howard is in the Best Shape of His Life
Nov 6, 2012, 6:48 AM EST
Man, it's starting early this year. Take it away Ruben Amaro:
Amaro said Ryan Howard's offseason conditioning program has already shown results. "I think he's lost a significant amount of weight, which bodes well for him," the GM said.
Good for Howard. And good for Amaro for making it safe for all general managers and agents to make reference to a player's offseason conditioning program as if a player getting into decent shape is a net positive as opposed to the rectification of previous problem. It's a long offseason and we have to fill it with stuff that doesn't really matter at all between now and spring training.
In other news, tell me how these two statements later in the article, separated by a mere couple of sentences, conflict with one another:
The Phillies have a reputation for being a by-the-book organization that values good citizenship. It's difficult to envision them making serious plays for [Josh Hamilton or Melky Cabrera]
"I don't have any problem with Brett [Myers], as long as he could help us," Amaro said.

Saudi Arabia's Stonehenge-Like Site Still a Mystery
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Sanskrity Sinha | December 21, 2011 5:21 PM EST
There is much about this world -- the physical and the spiritual -- that we still do not know or understand. Principal among these mysterious objects is collection of some 50 groups of stone columns erected at what is today called Al-Rajajil (translated as The Men), near the ancient oasis town of Sakakah in Al-Jawf province in northwestern Saudi Arabia.
The monument is located at 040.13.199 longitude and 29.48.664 latitude and the site itself is on high ground, overlooking a large low-lying area to its north, according to the Saudi Commission for Tourism & Antiquities.
The pillars, dubbed the "Stonehenge of Saudi Arabia," are believed to have some sort of connection to (and are roughly aligned with) sunrise and sunset and date back to the fourth century B.C.
A signboard at the site tells the curious visitor that many stone tools, such as arrows, drills and scrappers have been discovered, over the years, at the site; some of these tools have been traced to the end of the Neolithic area, providing researchers with some clue about its origin.
However, there is still no idea why people actually built these pillars.
Interestingly, a 2011 SCTA report explained that the stones appeared to be in compact and straight lines. The report also says that while some stones rose to more than 3.5 meters in height, others do not exceed 50 cm. It is presumed that the shorter columns are the fallen remains of the longer ones. The thickness of the columns, on average, is roughly 75 cm and some of the stones carry engraved texts which are still being deciphered.
"These columns are believed to be primarily a religious site or second-class graves," SCTA's Thamer Aud Al Malki, the author of the report, notes, adding, "We hope researches and excavations will reveal to us the secrets of the site."

Microsoft slashes US Xbox 360 to sub-Wii price
Microsoft will slice the price of the Xbox 360 in the US this Friday, making an entry-level version of its game console less expensive than a Nintendo Wii. Microsoft Xbox 360 Microsoft confirmed today the Arcade model will retail for $200 beginning 5 September, which is down from its previous price of $280. The standard model …
RE: Boring comments
I mean seconded.
In other news, I'd also like to call for a moratorium on the use of the popular (but shit) spelling of the term "fanboi(s)".
Reasoning: It's shit and I hate it, and all who use it. :P
straight to the point
"Team ICO", thats all i want to say.
@"Team ICO"
"Produce one game every 5 years" is what I want to say to that. It's not much of an argument to sway you one way or the other, no matter how pretty (in stills; the framerate is painful) Shadow Of The Colossus was.
The Wii costs pennies to make. It's just one SoC. It has about as much power as an Xbox 1, from seven (7!!) years ago. And costs now as much as the xbox 1 did back then!!! HAHAHA. Nintendo is rolling in dough.
Correction to "[the Wii] has about as much power as an Xbox 1"
alex d states:
The Wii costs pennies to make. It's just one SoC. It has about as much power as an Xbox 1...
I beg to differ. My XBOX 1 was able to do 720p and 1080i on several games. So I contend the Wii has much less power then the first generation XBOX. Your other comments are still relevant.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. --East Hamilton picked a terrible time to play their worst softball game of the season.
The Lady Hurricanes have a productive offense and collected 10 hits en route to scoring six runs.
Unfortunately, the defense didn't do its part as they committed seven errors, which was one of the biggest reasons East Hamilton went straight to the losers bracket after dropping a 12-6 verdict to the Chester County Eaglettes.
"I'm really disappointed as we basically beat ourselves," said East Hamilton coach Cara Stiles after her team dropped to 25-13-2 for the season.
"The good news is that we're still here, but we just made a very long road for ourselves. That was our best chance to stay in the winners bracket and we just played our worst game of the year. Just so happens that it comes at the most important time.
"We hit the ball well enough to win and Maria Walshe pitched well enough to win, but we were just guessing at the plate. We weren't attacking on offense like we should have been. They didn't earn that win as much as we gave it to them," Stiles said after admitting that Friday was her 28th birthday.
Chester County took a 1-0 lead in the second before East Hamilton regained the advantage in the third when Kelsey Payne slugged a three-run homer.
The Eaglettes then took the lead for the final time with five runs in the fourth. Two more scores in the fifth extended the difference to 8-3 while a four-run sixth basically put the game out of reach.
While Payne was the early hero, Tori Barnes drove in the fourth run in the fifth. Her single to left, drove in Maggie Woods, who had led off the inning with a double. Payne followed with a single before Walshe reached on a bunt single. Payne went to third on a fielder's choice by Amber Phillips before scoring on a wild pitch.
Chester County's four-run sixth was highlighted by a three-run homer just inside the foul pole in left by pitcher Sammie Jo Ivey.
With the Lady Hurricanes down by seven runs in their final at-bat, Payne slugged her second homer -- a solo shot to right -- to conclude the scoring before Ivey ended the game with her 12th strikeout.
"East Hamilton has a great hitting team, but we just took advantage of their mistakes tonight," said Chester County coach Brandon Pipkin after his team improved to 29-12.
"Take away all of their errors and we still have a close game. But we're playing our best softball right now and we've been hitting it well lately. Sammie Jo is a grinder who normally doesn't get down on herself. She didn't have her best game today, but it was good enough," he added.
The Eaglettes finished with 14 hits, including two each by Madison McCaskill, Presley Beth Robinson, Cynthia Beene, Jana Frye and Ivy. Presley included a two-run homer while McCaskill's big blow was a three-run double in the fourth.
Payne had three hits to lead the Lady Hurricanes and scored three times while driving in four runs. Shaliyah Geathers and Woods both had two hits while Barnes, Walshe and Rachel Gamble all finished with one apiece.
Chester County will face Gibbs on Wednesday afternoon while East Hamilton is slated to face Greenbrier on Wednesday morning at 12:30 Chattanooga time.
The weather forecast isn't very promising as heavy rain is predicted for most of the day Wednesday.

10 who made a difference in 2010
In the past year alone, Ebay, Procter and Gamble, Black Diamond and Adobe have all opened or expanded offices in Utah. Eccles and his team at the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) were instrumental in convincing each of these firms to expand in Utah or relocate here. During the past fiscal year, Eccles and his GOED staff provided opportunities for the creation of more than 4,000 new jobs in Utah.
"Our success is due to the leadership of the Legislature, the governor and our team," said Eccles, the executive director of GOED. "And at the end of the day, our success is really the success of Utah businesses."
Eccles' job at GOED is to stimulate new growth in Utah by encouraging businesses already here to expand, and businesses outside of the state to come here. They are also a support organization for existing Utah businesses, especially small businesses, which Eccles views as the backbone of the Utah economy. According to Eccles, 80 percent of the companies in Utah are small businesses, creating thousands of jobs for Utahns.
Eccles attributes the state's recent success in attracting national companies to Utah's economic "secret sauce": "Our secret sauce is that we work well together here in Utah. The state, county, city and municipal governments all work well together as well as with the academic community and the private sector," Eccles said. "We get told all the time by out-of-state companies that here in Utah, we do things right."
As for the future? Eccles readily admits that there is room for improvement as far as jobs go, but asserts that GOED is striving to be more focused, more effective, and more efficient.
"Our pipeline is full," Eccles assured. "We've got a lot of companies right now looking at Utah to expand or relocate."

Chris Hill and Tom Holmoe
University of Utah athletic director Chris Hill and Brigham Young University athletic director Tom Holmoe forever altered the landscape of college athletics in Utah in 2010. But their influence will extend beyond sports. Thanks to the moves Hill and Holmoe made this year — Hill was key in Utah's jump to the Pac-12, and Holmoe was one of the principal architects behind BYU's move to independence — both institutions increased their visibility nationally.
For the Utes the Pac-12 means more money: they'll receive significant increases in TV and BCS revenues. It also means better athletes; kids who would never have considered Utah before will now give the school a good look. There will also be more opportunities to play on national television because the Pac-12 is one of six major conferences in college football. As far as academics go, the school could gain more recognition for its advances in a variety of different areas of study by being part of a conference known for its academic excellence.
Making it into the Pac-10 has been a dream of Hill's for a long time, one that he never let die, no matter how unlikely it seemed. At the Pac-12 announcement in June, Hill said, "We all need to be dreamers with no limits and no rearview mirror. This is one of our dreams, to be here. We'll work hard every day to make the Pac-10 proud we're a member."
For the Cougars, the decision for the football program to go independent, "came down to two pillars," Tom Holmoe said earlier this year, "access and exposure." Aiding in this quest for greater exposure is an eight-year contract with ESPN. According to the deal, every home football game and men's basketball game will be televised nationwide. While breaking with the MWC was a risky move because of the scheduling difficulties independence presents, the partnership with ESPN will make scheduling much easier, because everyone wants the chance to play on the national stage. Already, BYU has scheduled games with Texas, Ole Miss, West Virginia and Notre Dame.
"This is our first year of independence," Holmoe says. "As we look down the road, we have an opportunity to bring in some nice teams and be able to play on the road against some traditionally great college football teams. It's going to be fun."

Provincetown, leather shops and cat t shirts
... We have both discovered a new love for lobster! The sunsets here are phenomenal and it's a really pretty place but we struggled to find stuff to do for a day and a half in this ghost town. We even ventured further afield and went trekking in the woods where I spent an hour trying to photograph a squirrel. Holiday highlight. Everyone knows everyone here, which has always put me at unease. Next stop, hopefully some signs of life at ...

The night was warm and dark and so quiet that we had no trouble sleeping at ...
Cape Cod and New Haven
... cafes and inns. We parked up and had a little look around to try and find somewhere to stay and found a little B&B called the Chicago House. It was beyond the upper end of our budget, but after scoping out the competition we weren't going to find anywhere cheaper. Plus, breakfast was included and they had a boxer dog and two talking parrots. Sold! On checking in we got told that it was Women's week, the biggest event ...
