'Dancing With the Stars' Recap: Melissa Rycroft's Perfect Night
The seven remaining couples danced twice on Monday night's episode: once to honor veterans, and again in the Latin trio round.
The seven remaining couples danced twice on Monday night's episode: once to honor soldiers and service people for Veterans Day, and again in the Latin trio round. Iraq veteran and former Dancing champion J.R. Martinez was in the audience, while cohost Brooke Burke-Charvet kept a happy face on, making no mention of her thyroid cancer scare that made news late last week.
With a double elimination this week, the contestants were obviously stressed. But one couple managed to not slip up once, and earned perfect scores through the night: Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani.
Get a recap of each performance below.
Shawn Johnson, reunited with Derek Hough, took on the Viennese waltz set to "In the Arms of the Angel," by Sarah McLachlan to honor of injured veterans. "Showing my emotions is not what I'm best at," she said nervously during rehearsal. Nonetheless, the dance had the desired effect on the judges. Len Goodman said it was "poignant," while Bruno Tonioli thought it was "heavenly perfection, absolutely exquisite." Score: 29.5
Apolo Ohno and Karina Smirnoff were eager to top their "9″ scores from last week. For a grand entrance, he zip lined onto the dance floor to kick off their aggressive tango to "I Need a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler. "It was like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible," Tonioli said. "You're my hero," Goodman added, though he had a few minor criticisms about their form. Score: 29.5
Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy chose a slow, sweeping Viennese waltz to "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. Carrie Ann Inaba thought the dance was entertaining but wanted to see more difficult moves, especially this far into the competition. Goodman added that it was by far her best routine yet, and Tonioli praised their style and elegance. Score: 27
It's been a roller coaster for Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy, who have been near the top and on the bottom of the leaderboard. Their graceful Viennese waltz to "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain drew mixed reviews from the judges. Goodman was clearly disappointed: "The movements were a little too sharp for me," he said. When Inaba protested, Goodman replied, "I have my standards. She has none." Tonioli had no problems with the performance. "She was really giving all of her soul," he said. Inaba got the last word: "You are growing every week and it was beautiful," she said. Score: 28
Watch our favorite performance of the night!
Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd were gunning for a perfect 30. "We've been sliding down the leaderboard week after week," he said in rehearsals. The two focused on technique, going so far as to tape his arms into the right position during practice. Ultimately, their quickstep to "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins just barely missed the mark. "Almost Top Gun," Tonioli said. "There were a few little slips. It was so close," Inaba said. Goodman only had good things to say. "Now that was a quickstep," he raved. Score: 29.5
Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke took their criticism from last week to heart, working on Smith's upper body movements during their Viennese waltz. Inaba didn't love the routine. "It was very smooth and effective, but you slipped a little. I want to see you push yourself. You're still riding in your comfort zone," she said. Goodman disagreed. "There was a little slip, but overall, I liked it." Tonioli acknowledged the stumble as well, but thought their artistry was top-notch. Score: 28
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani were focused on maintaining their top spot on the leaderboard. Dressed in sailor outfits, they delivered an upbeat quickstep to The Andrew Sisters' "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" that fulfilled their goal. "I want to join the Navy," Tonioli said, comparing them to Gene Kelly. Inaba loved it too: "You're on fire, two weeks in a row." Score: 30
Then came the Latin trio dances.
Johnson, Hough and Mark Ballas teamed up for an impressive, tribal-themed samba. Goodman couldn't get past the rule-breaking in the choreography. "If I was in the audience, I'd be cheering, but I'm not, because I have to judge a samba," he said. "There was very little samba content. If you go home tomorrow, don't blame me; blame those two." The other two judges were more forgiving. "Creatively it was outstanding, but even I have to admit that it wasn't really a samba," Tonioli said. Inaba agreed that the routine was lacking in actual samba moves, but thought the performance was outstanding. Score: 26, for a total of 93.5 when combined with this week's and last week's scores
Who had the best routine of the night?
Ohno, Smirnoff and their third partner, Sasha Farber, danced a jive trio to "Greased Lightning" by John Travolta. This time, the judges agreed that it was a standout dance. "You took a huge risk with this, but you conquered this brilliantly," Tonioli, noting that Ohno mirrored his professional counterpart expertly (Ohno was the only contestant to choose a professional trio partner that was his gender). Inaba thought it was "one of your best, most vibrant performances," while Goodman appreciated the group's technical mastery. Score: 29, for a total 91.5
Alley, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and their third, Tristan MacManus, wore angel wings for part of their paso doble to "Bring Me to Life' by Evanescence. The panel wasn't wowed. "I love the costumes and the presentation, but it was a little sloppy," Inaba said. "I thought it had attitude, but it lacked finesse," Goodman agreed. "As a paso doble, it could have been a little more refined," Tonioli concluded. Score: 24, for a total of 79
Monaco, along with a shirtless Val Chmerkovskiy and Louis van Amstel, jived to "I Want Some More" by Dan Auerbach. Goodman said it was "fun and fabulous," and Tonioli loved how Monaco held her own against the two professional dancers. Score: 28.5, for a total of 92.5
Chelsie Hightower joined Marini and Murgatroyd for a fast, sexy salsa. For the most part, the judges loved the routine. "Tres, tres bien, but you lost timing a couple of times," Tonioli said. Goodman praised Marini for not hiding behind his professional partners. Score: 29, for a total of 92
Smith and Burke invited Kym Johnson to their salsa trio, which included plenty of his signature hip swaying. "That's the Emmitt we love, when you're out there wiggling your hips," Inaba said. "You dance naturally and that is great to see," Tonioli said. Goodman praised Smith for keeping control with both his partners. "It was like working two yo-yos at the same time," he said. Score: 30, for a total of 92.5
Dancer Henry Byalikov joined Rycroft and Dovolani for their paso doble to "Rumor Has It" by Adele. The performance capped off Rycroft's night of perfect scores. Goodman admitted that Rycroft is the most impressive celebrity dancer of the season, while Tonioli told her she deserves a spot in the finals. "I love seeing you so in control out there. You owned that paso," Inaba said. Score: 30, for a total of 99
Tomorrow, the seven contestants will become five. Who do you think should go home next? Vote!

Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader fighting to hold his seat in Nevada, said on a taped television appearance on Sunday he planned to bring legislation that would create a path for some illegal immigrants to gain legal status to a vote in the post-election session of Congress.
The move may thrust the issue of immigration into the heart of the political debate in the hours leading to Tuesday's midterm elections.
Mr. Reid announced his intentions on Univision's "Al Punto," a Spanish-language political talk show. His appearance was a pitch to Nevada's Hispanic voters as he fights for re-election against Sharron Angle, a Tea Party-backed Republican with whom he is essentially tied in polls. Immigration is a dominant issue in the Nevada Senate race. And Hispanics, who turned out in droves to help elect President Obama in 2008, could give an edge to Mr. Reid.
The legislation, called the Dream Act, would grant conditional permanent residency to illegal immigrant students and illegal immigrants who agree to serve in the military.
"I have the right to bring that up any time I want; that's why I brought it up the first time. I am a believer in our needing to do something," Mr. Reid said in the interview, which was taped Thursday in Las Vegas.
Mr. Reid said he would bring the measure to the floor in the lame-duck session regardless of the election's outcomes.

Red Moleskine plannerThree years ago, I gave up on trying to organize my life with technology. My cell phone calendar wasn't efficient enough; I wasted time trying to enter dates and times and locations, and hated having to abbreviate my thoughts. I tried iCal on my Mac but that was just inconvenient when I wasn't around my laptop, or if I had to start it up just to check a single detail. The "random bits of paper everywhere" method was also a failure and needs no further explanation. I realized something had to change because I was stressed out and disorganized.

That's when I splurged on my first-ever Moleskine planner. It was a beautifully old-fashioned, paper notebook-style planner, with a weekly layout on one side and a lined page for notes on the other. I chose a bright red one that would be easy to find in my purse. Soon it was full of crucial information that had previously been scattered throughout my house. For the first time in months, I felt relaxed and confident that I could manage the many demands of my life at that time. I've never looked back. Every December, I look forward to the special ritual of opening up my brand new planner -- always red -- and filling out the birthdays, holidays, and events that will take place the next year. There are, however, lots of reasons why I love my planner beyond being organized:

1. There's no battery to recharge and pens are available everywhere. It's lightweight and versatile, with pages for my preschooler to scribble if he's bored.
2. I feel more polite pulling out my planner to scribble a note than disconnecting from a conversation for the time it takes to fight with my phone. (Maybe some of you are better at it than I was, but I always found it very disruptive.)
3. Moleskine products are high quality and worth the extra pennies. The paper feels sturdy and silky and doesn't bleed; the hard cover is durable. The planner comes with colourful stickers to mark special occasions.
4. It's a conversation starter. People are always surprised to see my planner come out and most say they want one, too. (I think everyone's fed up with the impracticality of phone calendars.)
5. My collection of past planners is an instant collection of diaries. Without any extra effort, I essentially have a complete record of everything I've done for the past three years.
So if you're looking for an alternative way to stay organized in 2013, give a good old paper planner a try. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at how effective it is.

"We've become much more thought leaders in the industry, versus just experts within our category, and that has been a huge change for us. It takes us to a new level of discussion we haven't been in before," he said.
Now, one his top challenges as CEO, he said, is to "ensure we continue to improve as individuals, attract the talent, and bring the knowledge solutions that the future will require."
It doesn't mean Bilbrey isn't thinking about foreign markets.
The failed attempt to buy Cadbury was a low point for Hershey. It focused attention on the fact that Hershey derives only 15 percent of its revenues from markets outside North America.
Some analysts concluded that, given the size of Hershey's competitors and their head start in emerging markets, Hershey's prospects for global growth were dim.
But three years later, when looking at Hershey's revenues and stock price, that's no longer the case.
Its stock price is trading upwards of $70, more than twice what it traded for during the first half of 2009.
Bilbrey sees considerable potential for growth in North America.
Moreover, he insists Hershey has carefully positioned itself for growth in global markets, especially emerging markets.
He pointed out that in markets such as Europe, where competitors are well-entrenched, gaining market share requires heavy advertising and isn't highly-profitable.
The best opportunities, he said, exist in markets including China, Brazil, Mexico and India, where gross domestic product is growing at an annual rate of five percent or better.
"There is a direct correlation and a parallel line between GDP growth and consumption of our category," he said. "As people's lives improve, they enter the category.
He can point to numbers to make the case Hershey is on the right path.
Hershey, with annual revenues of $6.5 billion, is in the midst of a five-year plan to attain $10 billion in annual revenues. The plan calls for international growth of about 15 percent per year, leading to $1 billion in international sales in 2015. However, international sales have been growing 20-25 percent annually, putting Hershey a year ahead of it goal, he said.
As have many iconic American manufacturers, The Hershey Co. has evolved considerably over the years, shifting production outside the U.S.
A global restructuring carried out a few years ago closed seven North American plants, including one in Reading, eliminated 1,500 U.S. jobs, and added a factory in Mexico.
Yet the company managed to sustain a substantial presence in its central Pennsylvania birthplace. The company has closed its century-old factory in Hershey and replaced it with the newly-expanded West Hershey chocolate factory. West Hershey is the company's largest and most technologically-advanced facility, churning out products including 70 million Hershey's Kisses per day.
The $300 million expanded facility has a core workforce of about 1,000, plus 100 temporary employees who work as needed. But the expanded plant, being more efficient, requires fewer workers and the local workforce shrunk by about 500.
The workers, who are unionized, also made wage concessions that mostly affect new hires, in order to prevent Hershey from sending production elsewhere.
A current sore spot for workers is that, as the plant works out bugs and deals with production delays, many workers are enduring excessive overtime, said Dennis Bomberger, the business manager of the Chocolate Workers Local 464.
"The issue here is we're saying we can't get any time off because we have to work all the time, sometimes seven days a week, for more than eight hours," he said. "They are grateful they have a job, but eventually it gets old working all that overtime."
Some veteran workers are convinced the company is using overtime to drive them out so they can be replaced with new hires at lower wages.
For his part, Bilbrey has been publicly praising the workforce, saying they have a higher "sense of purpose," for reasons including the fact that generations of them have worked for Hershey, and their love of founder Milton Hershey and his devotion to community and humanitarian causes including the Milton Hershey School for disadvantaged children.
The company plans to house about 1,000 administrative employees in part of the century-old factory on East Chocolate Avenue, which was sold for $50 million to a Delaware-based trust.
Hershey has signed a long-term lease. Other parts of the historic factory will be renovated to house possible uses such as offices, a hotel and loft space.
Two miles away, the West Hershey plant can accommodate further expansion, including production of new products. Asked about the possibility of local expansion, and more jobs, Bilbrey said it's impossible to predict what might occur.
"I'm optimistic about our company's health. I'm optimistic about our company's future," he said. "Hopefully, that means more investment, and more people, in all of our communities."

Diving Into The Fashion World, Feet First
Let's be real here. Fashion is a hypercompetitive industry full of people who can be witheringly (but often hilariously) critical of each other. So when it comes time for an awards gala, wherein the members of the fashion scene must play nice and hand out plaudits to their peers, most people cope by sighing into their free Champagne and mumbling that so-and-so was sorely overlooked…as usual. But every so often, an award is given out to a designer who is so self-evidently deserving that only the most vicious fashion misanthrope could protest. Such was the case recently at the Footwear News FN Awards, where Charlotte Dellal took home the Designer of the Year honor for her rapidly expanding five-year-old brand, Charlotte Olympia. This has been a threshold year for Dellal, one that saw her launch a range of bridal footwear, collaborate with Victoria Beckham, and open her first stateside store on New York's Upper East Side. More generally, 2012 was the year that Charlotte Olympia firmly and finally established itself as a go-to brand for VIPs looking to rock a glam shoe on the red carpet. (Or anywhere else, for that matter.) Here, the cool and impeccably coiffed Dellal talks to Style.com about gilded platforms, her brand's evolution, and the importance of having a sense of humor.
Congratulations! I guess this is as good a time as any to ask you that burning fashion question: What is the deal with women and shoes?
You mean, why do women love shoes? I always have a hard time with that one. They just do. I think, maybe, it has something to do with the fact that they're objects—beautiful objects that you can wear. They look good on, and they look good off.
Did you always know you wanted to design shoes?
Actually, I wanted to do fashion design. Or so I thought. But when I did my foundation course, my tutor suggested I go into Cordwainers and train to make shoes. All my sketches of clothes were heavily accessorized. So I was accessory-focused from the beginning, I guess. And I do love accessories. I love how they personalize a look—you can be wearing the most sober outfit, and add an amazing shoe, a crazy bag, a hat, whatever, and make it something else entirely. It's that old Hollywood, 1940s thing that I love so much; a way of not just finishing a look, but really elaborating it with your own sense of style.
You have a very distinctive, '40s Hollywood-inflected personal style, and that's reflected in Charlotte Olympia. When you design, are you designing for yourself?
Yes and no. I mean, as a designer, you create things that you love, don't you? And as a female designer, it's pretty inevitable that you create things that you love and want to wear. They go hand in hand. For me, anyway. So, of course, my sensibility is in the brand; it wouldn't work otherwise. But my experiences as a woman also inform my sense of what's missing in the market. Launching bridal—that came pretty directly out of my own experience of being a bride. I was looking around at the shoe options, and it was all, various shades of white and off-white. Like, peep-toe heels and things. And of course, I love color, I love pattern, and I just felt like, well, on your wedding of all days, you should be wearing a pair of shoes you really love, that represent who you are. I had on a huge dress, no one was going to see my shoes, but it made me happy knowing that I had on a pair of leopard-print pumps. And then, in the meantime, I did have women coming to the shop, and buying, like, red shoes to wear at their weddings. So I saw this niche.
How do you see your line as having evolved since you launched five years ago?
Well, this is obvious, but it's gotten a lot bigger. My first few collections, I was only doing 140mm heels, with the recessed platform. That was about establishing an aesthetic, by the way; it wasn't that I thought all women should wear super-high heels all the time. But I wanted to establish a silhouette, and a certain…I guess the only way to say it is a certain glamour. You know, as an aside, my true signature, initially, was the recessed gold platform. Some people saw that as really bling-y, but my thinking was, you know, it's a recessed platform; when you wear the shoe, it's under your foot, and so all that is is a little golden glow underfoot. A little magic, because—why not? Anyway. Sorry to digress, I just always felt like that gold platform was misunderstood. And of course now I design all sort of shoes—flats, sandals, the whole lot. Plus bags, now, too.
Are there other categories you'd like to explore?
There are lots of things I'd love to do, eventually. Like hats—I'm a big fan of hats, and I've been working with Piers Atkinson on some styles. I don't need to do hats in-house; not right now. There are a lot of milliners I respect. Down the line, who knows? But anything that develops, it will develop organically. I like to joke that my accessories have accessories. Like, the bags started because I wanted a Perspex clutch to match the Perspex heels in a collection. And here we are, doing all these bags. And I love it. The novelty bags we make each season, they're like the exclamation point at the end of the collection.
Do you have any shoe heroes?
Salvatore Ferragamo. The old Salvatore Ferragamo—the man. He used all this wonderful color and amazing materials. And of course, he was from the era that I love and made special shoes for the Hollywood actresses that have inspired me. And then, of course, when I was a child, my mother's closet was full of Manolos. And when you're a child, you're always in your mother's closet, trying on her shoes. Again, so many wonderful colors. And such a distinctive femininity—I still really appreciate that.
People tend to talk about your shoes being glamorous. It's a word you use quite a bit yourself. But I feel like they rarely point out that your shoes are also kind of…funny. You know they're funny, right?
Of course! I like to bring a sense of humor to my designs. A little silliness.What I really love to do is to play with the obvious—my collections are usually inspired by places, and I love doing things like, when we did the Paris collection, playing on all these Parisian super-clichés, like frou-fy poodles and the Eiffel Tower. I like to make the obvious more obvious. But it's like I was saying, about the gold platform—why not? It's so much easier to be bold or silly or over-the-top with your shoes than with pretty much any other part of your wardrobe. I can easily understand women who are shy about wearing some kind of crazy dress. But having fun with shoes? That never hurt anyone.
Footwear News' Lifetime Achiever Has The Kate Middleton Vote Locked Up
According to Stuart Weitzman, earning a lifetime achievement award could be considered a nudge toward an exodus from the industry. "Twenty-six years ago they gave me my first award, which was Man of the Year," recalled the designer who took home the Lifetime Achievement Award at last night's 26th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards held at the Museum of Modern Art. "Now I think they're trying to retire me." Despite his jests, the 71-year-old designer (above) shows no signs of slowing down. Selling two million pairs of shoes each year, Weitzman continues to outfit well-heeled women across the globe in his signature 50/50 boots and demure heels. He counts Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé (who even sent in a congratulatory video tribute for Weitzman), and Kate Middleton as fans. Most recently, the latter turned up at London's Olympic Games in his Corkswoon wedge, turning the stacked style into an instant hit. "She didn't change her shoes for nine days," he said. "It was a big deal."
Among the flurry of footwear fanatics on hand were Miranda Kerr, Tali Lennox, and pop star-turned-designer Fergie, who paired a turquoise Pucci dress with her own Holly pumps. "I love a platform because my husband is so much taller than I am," the singer admitted. "He's always leaning over to kiss me." Even presenter Victor Cruz revealed he's a "heels guy" and prefers his lady friends in Christian Louboutin or Charlotte Olympia. "I know my stuff," beamed the New York Giants' wide receiver. Among the winners of the evening, Charlotte Dellal and Tabitha Simmons (left, with Kerr) took home trophies for Designer of the Year and Style Influencer of the Year respectively, while Rebecca Minkoff earned praise for using Instagram photos in her first print ad campaign (which debuted, by the way, in Style.com/Print). "It was another way that we could connect to our customer and make her feel empowered," explained Minkoff who, hours earlier, uploaded sandal options for the evening and let her 114k followers decide. No stranger to posting sartorial selfies, Man Repeller's Leandra Medine lamented over the cons of public forum sharing. "Shoe porn instigates the most heated conversations," the blogger told Style.com. "The reactions are funny. Amid all the 'OMG, I love your shoes!' There's always the 'Girl, shave your legs! Why aren't your toes pedicured!' It can get pretty hostile."
A Shoe-In: Charlotte Olympia X Agent Provocateur
Agent Provocateur seems to have found its go-to girl in Charlotte Dellal. Just last year, the shoe designer lent her fashionable hand to the luxury lingerie label's ad campaign, starring Josephine de la Baume, and now she's done a sexy Charlotte Olympia shoe collaboration for AP's premium Soiree line. Two styles of sky-high heels (pictured), the Candice, a modern take on a classic boudoir slipper, and the Bellatrix, a black patent leather stiletto with zipper detail, will make their debut tonight at Seven Bar Foundation's Lingerie London Fashion Show and Gala. But those who are itching to get their hands on a pair right away are in luck. Both variations ($1,190) are available on Net-a-porter.com starting today.

From the handbags at Phillip Lim's latest ready-to-wear show to the sand-filled Plexiglas heels at Rodarte this past February, it's pretty safe to say that clear accessories are having a fashion moment. And if we needed further proof, Tommy Ton caught an early adopter of the trend in Milan as she rummaged through her see-through Chanel bag while en route between menswear shows. Here, we've rounded up some of our favorite show-all-you've-got Perspex accessories from the likes of Charlotte Olympia and Christian Louboutin to buy right now.
From top left to right: 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel, $650, available at www.barneys.com; Illesteva Leonard sunglasses, $180, available at www.madisonlosangeles.com; Christian Louboutin Just Picks pumps, $1495, available at www.netaporter.com; Charlotte Olympia Pandora clutch, $845, available at www.netaporter.com.
Charlotte Olympia's Glamazon Jungle
The story we are hearing all week from designers is that stores are requesting more and more products for Resort delivery, and the sell-throughs are higher and higher during this particular season. And for her part, Charlotte Olympia delivered—her latest collection of accessories, on display at the Carlyle Hotel this week, filled three whole rooms. It was so extensive, I found it hard to keep my attention on one pair before I was distracted by another, each one better than the next.
In the entrance room was the Encore collection, including the Dolly (the designer's famous platform pumps), the Paloma (evening platform pumps), and the Kitty flats. The far back room was the bridal footwear—for sure the most exquisite bridal shoes you can possibly find in the market—classic but with an edge (think: leopard print). In the largest room, I found her main collection, called Glamazon, inspired by her Brazilian roots. There were fuchsia, orange, and turquoise shoes and bags with "Senhor do Bonfim" ribbon (colored wish ribbons) prints; Baianas' faces made up the little pouches inside the designer's famous Pandora's clutches; and large tote bags with Ipanema and Copacabana-inspired prints. Wood heels were intricately etched with the country's landscape on them. Just looking at the accessories made me think about how much fun it would be to wear them. As a Brazilian, I can safely say I can't recall seeing a collection that illustrates the country as well as Olympia's. Each piece is unique—playful and young yet sophisticated, just like Charlotte herself.

"Everyone had written him off, kind of," Jay said. "It could have been a season-ending injury, where he could have just gone home and said, 'See you later.'"
The top rib on Carpenter's right side was removed, along with muscles that were constricting blood flow up there. After Wednesday's game, he squeezed his big right hand with his left, explaining, "Basically, my nerves were getting squished down by all the scar tissue and all the muscles and everything. There wasn't enough space."
Still adjusting to the way breathing feels different, he returned Sept. 21, going 0-2 in three starts totaling 17 innings, so it wasn't clear how he'd fare Wednesday.
Yeah, right.
Carpenter allowed seven hits and walked two across his 5 2-3 innings to improve to 10-2 over his career in the postseason. That includes a 4-0 mark while helping another group of wild-card Cardinals take the title in the 2011 World Series, when he won Game 7 against Texas.
The 10 victories tie Carpenter for seventh-most, behind Andy Pettitte's record 19.
"If the baseball world doesn't know what an amazing competitor he is by now, they haven't been paying any attention," Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday said.
Carpenter collected a pair of hits, including a double off the wall in the fifth that was about a foot or two away from being a homer. When he reached second base, he raised his right fist.
Earlier, Carpenter stepped to the plate for his first at-bat and chatted with umpire Joe West.
"I say hello to him. And he said hello back, and he talked about what a beautiful day it was to play a baseball game. And I was like, 'You ain't kidding,'" Carpenter recounted. "Beautiful weather. The crowd is going crazy. ... There's no question you take time to reflect on that."
NOTES: Holliday fouled a ball off his left leg in the eighth, stayed in to deliver a two-run single, then left for a pinch runner. ... Lohse beat the Braves in the wild-card game. ... Detwiler will be making the first postseason appearance of his career. His last regular-season start also came against the Cardinals, and he went only 2 1-3 innings, giving up seven runs. ... Wednesday was the 88th anniversary of Washington's only World Series championship, won by the Senators on Oct. 10, 1924.

To say that it starts off sounding a bit '80s would be something like describing the Pope as a tad religious. For all the modern vocals over the top it still sounds like someone's taken a slice of vintage Madonna, thrown in a bit of Human League whizzed it round in a blender and stuck a sparkler and paper umbrella in the top. At least they spared us the glace cherry
It's one to get used to though, as it's so blatantly aimed at the Radio 1 'Inoffensive to Grannies and Small Children' slot that you're going to be hearing it in various remixed forms from now until Christmas, when hopefully a new batch of novelty pap will kick it into the bargain bin it belongs in.

Winged Enemies
What my suburban enemy teaches us about our spiritual enemy.
It isn't just people that congregate at my church. The lawn between the building and parking lot attracts Canada geese. For those of you unfamiliar with the species, or who are blessed to live in a region beyond their imperial ambitions, allow me to explain. Canada geese are evil.
They swoop in like alien invaders and occupy a community's grassy areas, especially golf courses, parks, and playing fields. At first their presence is viewed as benign, particularly as their little goslings add a storybook charm to the scene.
But these are not graceful swans or timid ducks. Draw too near and the birds extend their wings, lower their heads, and release an unholy hiss like a fell beast of Mordor. If the warning is unheeded, they will charge and attack with astonishing speed—something I witnessed firsthand in high school as a friend on rollerblades nearly lost his ear to a rogue goose. With their lifeless black eyes and taste for blood, Canada geese are the Great Whites of suburbia.
Why are they attracted to my church? I cannot say for certain. But the presence of these demon birds (I'm convinced they were the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's film) illustrates something about the spiritual enemy we contend with.
Like the unseen "powers and authorities" the apostle Paul says we strive against (Eph. 6:12), the geese are not always visible on Sunday mornings. But their presence is still felt by all as we dodge their copious droppings on the sidewalk.
Every week as we prepare to exit our minivan, my four-year-old daughter pauses and reminds us of the danger: "We're going to church. Watch out for poop." Indeed, I think to myself.
In many church communities, mine included, talk about spiritual powers is uncommon. Some have dismissed it as residue of an antiquated worldview, like believing the sun orbits the earth. Others avoid the topic because it may be uncomfortable for newcomers or associated with unflattering portrayals of Christianity in popular culture. For many reasons we may deny the role of evil spirits, and we may not acknowledge their opposition in our work. But like the geese at my church, even when they're unseen, we cannot deny the evidence of their presence.
Like the minefield of poop that is our church parking lot, our communities are littered with the debris left by destructive spiritual forces: domestic violence, addiction, pornography, injustice, racism, materialism, dishonesty, and abuse. If your community is soiled by any of these (and how could it not be?), you are engaged in a spiritual battle with unseen forces.
[To read the rest of this column, which first appeared in Leadership Journal, click here.
Sitting alone in Panera today, this made me laugh out loud:
"We're going to church. Watch out for poop."
I'm making tee shirts.
I have never heard it put so, and yet...I kind of like the way it illustrates the whole spiritual warfare aspect of our daily lives.
I wrote a snipit to our local paper many years ago about geese attending church. A local church had constructed their building on what was obviously, and had been for years, a gathering spot for geese. Now, every Sunday, there seems a battle over territory.
Often times, the "demons" that anoy us aren't anything other than the aftermath of decisions we've made. It would be foolish of me to buy a mobile home in Kansas and cast blame as it spins off into oblivian in the vortex of a tornado.
Man has been given the role as caretaker of our environment, not control. The storms (demonic Canadian geese) of life should be considered before we lay our decisional foundations. More importantly however, should be our ability to be honest with ourselves. When the geese of life are nipping at our heels, we must be willing to ask ourselves the question; who is to blame. Are the negative events in our lives demonic, or simply the aftermath of our own godless nearsighted decisions?

Cloud Based Solutions
LAN Creation has been providing cloud based Messaging, Security, Internet connectivity and offsite Backup Redundancy services for many years. Our services have rapidly expanded with the release of various Microsoft cloud services including Office 365 which is perfect for many small to large busines. LAN Creation is a certified Microsoft Cloud and Telstra T-Suite Partner.
Microsoft Office 365
Microsoft Office 365 brings together cloud versions of the best and most trusted collaboration and communications software with the latest version of the desktop suite in one incredible package.
Benefits of Office 365
- • Microsoft Exchange 2010: Enterprise class advanced email, calendaring and Industry-Leading collaboration features for Outlook and
- • Office 2010 Web Apps: The Office suite you know and love, plus new online collaboration features.
- • Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Create external and internal websites to share and control documents libraries, blogs, Wiki, Calendars, Surveys and much more.
- • Microsoft Lync 2010: Instant Messenger + Online meetings make Lync a communication powerhouse.
- • Mobile Access: Whether you're on Windows Phone 7, Android, Blackberry or iPhone, get access to your data. 99.9% Uptime with Microsoft and Telstra guarantees.
Outlook Web Access (OWA), accessible anytime, from anywhere.
Cloud based services have been around for a long time under many different names. Common Hosted Cloud Solutions can be categorised as one of the following services:
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Includes services like Microsoft Hosted Exchange Email, SharePoint, Office 365, MailGuard Security services, numerous offsite file sharing and backup solutions. The end user does not need to purchase or maintain the hardware, connectivity, operating systems or service software.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Cloud hosted computer operating system enabling the end user to develop their own applications/services without having to purchase and maintain the underlying hardware, operating system and connectivity. Costs can be less for many businesses needing high availability for remote branch users.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Allows clients to create multiple servers and network without having to purchase or maintain hardware and connectivity. Great secure solution for clients with no central office and most staff working remotely, messaging, sharing files and collaborate over the internet. Fault tolerance is often built in with multiple redundant servers located in at least two Data Centres that could be anywhere in the world.
On-Premises Solutions
Providing our solutions on-premises means we offer you a higher degree of customisation and flexibility in-house on your own trusted infrastructure. If you are looking for more control over what you can do with those legacy applications, transferring large data between users or requiring quick response times to improve staff productivity, then On-Premises solution is still likely the right choice for you.
LAN Creation offers a variety of On-Premises solutions from Windows Servers to Network, Security and Storage solutions (We are certified Microsoft Small Business and Technology Specialists).
We have been installing and supporting Microsoft Small Business Server implementations for over 10 years.

Still confused about whether to be Cloud, On-Premises, or even Hybrid?
Cloud solutions can offer some great savings in implementation, Support, licensing and infrastructure costs. However, a Cloud solution may not be suitable for some third party vendor Line of Business Application requirements. Organisation may have internal regulations or local government requirements where hosted or SaaS software is not a preferred or allowed option. Regional areas can suffer from internet connectivity constraints reducing performance of online services and excessive data bandwidth costs. This is especially concerning for end users requiring interactive real-time operation, and transferring large amounts for data.
LAN Creation is experienced in identifying all these constraints and making sure our clients are offered suitable solutions based on their business needs, budget, future growth and current infrastructure available in their location. This may even be a Hybrid solution combining many benefits of both Cloud and On-Premises solutions.
Data Management Solutions
Loss of business data may ruin your company's reputation or may lead to expensive litigation. Most importantly, it interrupts or stops your business continuity. The ability of an organisation to recover from system failures is vital. We provide the expertise required to minimize the risk and impact of such failures or avoid them completely. LAN Creation provides full backup & redundancy solutions to protect & preserve your data in case the unthinkable disaster happens.
Examples of Data Management Solutions
- • Secure, protect and back up your company data.
- • Recover data quickly to maximize business.
- • Create archival storage off-site or in remote locations.
- • Engage in Fault Tolerant technologies.
- • Options to backup data virtually anywhere.
- • Establish best practice data retention guidelines.
- • Review and Monitor Internet Usage and E-mail management.
Infrastructure Renewal and Migration Solutions
It is inevitable all companies have to review the prospect of renewing their IT environment at some point in time. If you have inadequate capacity to handle predicted growth projections, require feature enhancements, wish to rectify performance or stability issues, or simply address a total failure, we can definitely give you the professional advice you are looking for. There may many more options than simply out with the old, in with the new. It may be cost effective to move some of the On-Premises infrastructure into Cloud services or even a hybrid combination
Remote Desktop Services Solutions
Leveraging Microsoft Windows Server platforms, Remote Desktop Services solution enables us to deploy common user desktops, software applications and data file accessibility to our client's end users regardless of their location anywhere in the world. The connections are optimised for very thin bandwidth connections catering for locations with only mobile data coverage. We can engage in third party vendors such as ThinPrint and Ericom Blaze to further compress and optimise data connection improving performance of end user desktop experience. A Remote Desktop (Terminal) Services server could be hosted in Cloud or local On-Premises.
Virtual Server Solutions
We have assisted many clients to consolidate their servers into the one physical hardware server, running multiple Virtual Guest servers within this one box. The number one reason to do this would be to increase physical server utilisation to maximise return on your investment. If you have multiple physical servers you need to supply hardware, ongoing maintenance for each server, environment cooling, power and find suitable real-estate to securely house the servers. Disaster recovery solutions and clustering of servers for redundancy are also available benefits to tap into in this solution. These servers could be Hosted Cloud or local On-Premises.
Security Solutions
In the old days we mainly worried about local theft of data or losing the whole server hardware. The Internet has become the conduit for business interconnectivity on a global scale. Clients rely on an Internet connection for communication, research, intelligence, interaction to suppliers or customers, online banking, Line of business applications and many more reasons. It is imperative that proper security measures are in place to safeguard against outside threats. We have all heard of Spam… Malware … Viruses … Trojans…. These are only a few of the types of threats or "attacks" we should expect to encounter on a daily basis whilst connected to the Internet and even on our local networks exposed to other devices. Whether it be malicious intent, a rogue application with less desirable intentions, direct theft of intellectual or personal property, LAN Creation has the resources, experience, and solutions to cover you.

Welcome to another OMG:Wiki progress report. All glory to the Hypnotoad.
OMG:Wiki has over 1500 articles with over 340 of these being
substantive. It has all sorts of information related to the mod. These
articles consist of everything from unit information pages, OMG content
information (maps, doctrines, veterancy, unit costs, etc) and unique
community information.
There is still plenty of content left to be added, despite the progress thus far. Things that you (the community) can help by adding to unit tactics material, information/guide pages, User:Pages, and
other content they feel should be included in the OMG wiki.
Again, for added emphasis, I'll stress the need for input. Currently 87% of the edits are mine, which makes me a sad panda. Mappers can help out by filling out their map information pages, experienced players can write strategy guides, and everyone else can find some small thing to add.
Grammar, spelling, and formatting are appreciated when adding new content. Please note that all contributions are subject to editing for clarity and spelling.
Be sure to check out the how to edit a page article on Wikipedia. It has some good information on it.
I've made a number of aesthetic changes to mega tables, so now they're much easier to read, better laid out, and sortable.
I got some good help with the upgrade tables which I am happy about. Thanks a lot to Apparition and Supahpingi for their work.
The best news I've had in a while is that I got info boxes to work. Info boxes are the bars on the right side of a bar giving you basic information. They look simple, but are deceptively hard to figure out. They work now, I've added them to every appropriate article, and I entered in the needed information. As of right now I'm out of stuff to work on until I get the WarCP images and Beta2 information.
Thanks for reading.

You are here:Commercial Property For Sale & LeaseNewsNews details
April 03, 2012 | Development Sites | Commercial
Developers are turning their attention to medium density residential sites in the sub-$4million market in Melbourne's east, according to Colliers International.
Colliers International Executives Hamish Burgess and Ben Baines have witnessed a growing focus on these sites from developers in the eastern suburbs.
"While infill high density sites have boomed in recent years, developers are now favouring medium density sites in the eastern suburbs that have strong arterial transport amenity and links to retail centres," Mr Burgess said.
"Developers in the Melbourne East metropolitan market have proven that they are on the hunt and are willing to acquire sites."
Along with Colliers International Director Peter Bremner, Mr Burgess recently concluded a successful private sale campaign for a site of this kind at 1 Eastway Avenue in Donvale.
"The property had a permit for 15 double-storey dwellings and sold, after receiving significant interest, for $2.6million," Mr Burgess said.
"Another property at 5 Eva Crescent in Box Hill North recently sold for $1.27million and the purchaser plans to develop four townhouses on site, while another at 1213-1217 Centre Road, Oakleigh South also recently sold for $3.76million."
Mr Baines and Mr Burgess are currently marketing sites which are generating significant interest from residential developers.
37 William Street, Ringwood, a 1.3ha site within close proximity to Eastland Shopping Centre and Eastlink zoned residential 1, is for sale by tender (closing April 5).
"This property has being held by the same family for in excess of 55 years and is one of the last remaining residential sites in the Ringwood area," Mr Baines said.
"In addition to this, we are marketing a site on behalf of the Department of Treasury and Finance on the corner of Cathies Lane and High Street in Wantirna South, which is to be auctioned on March 28.
"Both sites have generated significant enquiry from developers for the purposes of medium density residential development."

The vacuum that I decided to buy ( a Dirt Devil ) worked great until the replaceable filters clogged up. Even with regular rinsing they eventually became useless.
Boy, did I have trouble locating replacements! Until I found 'buy spares'. They had just what I needed in a handy pack AND at a good price. I don't use anywhere else for spares now.

Cyprus - a country of fascinating natural beauty and great diversity of landscapes. With a panorama of mountains: spectacular bright green valleys, emerald forests and vineyards on the slopes of the mountains, the city's neighborhoods, terracing to the small coves, wild rock canyons, and winding shore fast mountain rivers.
Cyprus is situated at the crossroads of routes between three continents - Europe, Asia and Africa. The island joined the flora and fauna of all three continents.
One of the main natural wealth of the island is the famous Cypriot forests. In ancient times the whole of Cyprus was covered with forests. The ships, built from the Cyprus pine and cedar, were considered the best in the Mediterranean. Now the forest is growing, mainly on mountain slopes and a narrow strip lined coastline.
In Cyprus, you can always enjoy the harvest of vegetables and fruits. At each step of growing lemons, tangerines and oranges. Vintage gather here several times a year. Autumn ripe apples, pears, plums, apricots, peaches, figs, grapes, olives. Early spring pick vegetables. In the summer of mature watermelons, melons and bananas. Winter is the collection of orange, grapefruit, almonds and vegetables.
National Cypriot cuisine has absorbed the best of the culinary secrets of the neighbors on the Mediterranean. It is based on the traditions of Greek and Turkish cuisine is very tangible impact as the Armenian and Arabic, have contributed, of course, and the British cook. The heart of the Cypriot cuisine are meat and vegetable dishes. The food is healthy, light, frequently consumed vegetable fats instead of animal origin. Seafood in the diet is not very much, because the fish off the coast of Cyprus almost caught her transported from other regions of the Mediterranean and the world. As a result there are higher prices for fish dishes. The local varieties of fish include trout, Cyprus (in Greek "pestrofa"); its breed in bodies of water of the island.
Mesa - not just a single dish, but a special gastronomic ritual. About that, what dishes should be part of meze, each chef has his own opinion, but "compulsory" set and order of serving dishes are strictly enforced. It consists of approximately 20 meze dishes. First, the table will make salads, cheeses, cold and hot appetizers of vegetables, meat, seafood, and then appear "real" meat dishes, but at the end of the meal waiting for you sweet dishes and fruits. Besides meat, in some taverns serving fish meze. Before meze you should "work up" your appetite, and then there are in small quantities and at a slow pace, otherwise you will not withstanding the load. "Shiga, Shiga" - as they say Cypriots. The cost of one set of meze begins from 8,5 € (5 CY). Sometimes a minimum order must be two meze. This is due to a difficult process of its preparation.
If you want to try out Cyprus meals, see beautiful terrains, and beautiful girls then it's definitely the best choice you will ever have.

U.K. Corporate Manslaughter Fine Set at $630KCorporate Counsel 2011-04-13 00:00:00.0 The first company to be convicted under the United Kingdom's corporate manslaughter act was fined about $630,000. It could have been worse -- the British sentencing guidelines set no maximum limit. Mills & Reeve, a top 50 British law firm, reported in its April newsletter that Cotswold Geotechnical Holdings Ltd. was told in mid-February that it could pay the penalty over the next 10 years, because of the company's poor financial condition. The case arose in September 2008, when a 27-year-old geologist was working alone in a deep trial pit, which caved in on him. The mining company became the first business to be convicted under the U.K.'s Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act of 2007. The law holds a company liable when a death is caused by "senior management's" gross breach of duty of care. In this case, a jury found that the company standard for trial pits was "extremely irresponsible and dangerous" and that it had not complied with industry standards. "It is apparent from this case that the company was found to have a cavalier attitude to health and safety," the Mills & Reeve update concluded. Another main message, it added, "is that a bigger company would have received a substantially higher penalty and that fines causing liquidation cannot be ruled out" in corporate manslaughter cases. |

Are you irritable in the mornings when that alarm clock goes off yet find yourself clock-watching and counting sheep at night?
Many people struggle with stabilising their sleeping pattern and don't connect the importance of food to their mood.
The Hour's food psychologist Dr. Christy Fergusson has found that different foods can help give you that all-important boost in the morning and aid with your sleep at night.
Adding the way your food is consumed and tackling the types of food eaten can help conquer both issues, as Dr. Christy explains with her low-down on how to get the most from mood foods.
Boost your energy levels:
1. Support healthy digestion
Healthy energy production starts with a healthy digestive system. If you eat lightly and stop as soon as you begin to feel satisfied then you will need to eat more frequently.
This places less of a burden on your digestion and makes you feel lighter and more energetic.
You can increase your intake of gentle forms of fibre with foods such as golden linseeds.
2. Eat low-glycemic load foods
Low glycemic load food gives your body sources of longer lasting energy and helps avoid spikes and drops in your blood sugar levels.
Good examples of low-glycemic load foods are berries such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
3. Eat whole grains whenever possible.
Whole grains are one of the best sources for the full spectrum of key vitamins for energy generation, especially the B-vitamins.
A good example of wholegrain food is wholegrain spaghetti.
4. Eat a good source of protein
Include a good amount of protein within each meal, especially during the first half of the day.
Good examples of protein include eggs and fish.
5. Eat foods rich in antioxidants
Vitamin C is critical to cellular membrane health as it plays an integral role in recycling vitamin E back to its active form and protecting the mitochondria (our energy powerhouses) from potential damage by free radicals.
A good example of vitamin C include papaya and chilli peppers.
Adjust your evening meal for a restful sleep:
Sleep is influenced by our levels of serotonin. Eating foods higher in carbohydrates raises our blood insulin level as they are digested quicker than proteins or fats.
This allows an increased transport of amino acids to our brain, including tryptophan, which leads to more brain production of serotonin and increases the likelihood of a good night's sleep.
1. Emphasis low-to-medium glycemic load carbohydrates such as brown basmati rice, mixed green salad or vegetables
2. Include a small portion of healthy fat-containing foods such as olive oil or nuts and even some chamomile or peppermint herbal teas.
3. Try and eat your evening meal about four hours before going to bed to ensure that your main digestive effort is finished.
4. If you do need a snack a couple of hours before going to bed then a small carbohydrate-based snacks such as wholegrain bread with a little almond butter or a small cup of herbal tea and a small serving of fresh fruit or even a small handful of raw nuts or seeds are most desirable as these include both a little protein and fat.

Redesigned PlayStation 2 Drops November 1
Our previously rumored PStwo release has been all cleared up. Rather than being a brand new product launch, it is more of an alteration to the current product. As you can see by the picture, the PlayStation 2 has been redesigned to be smaller, lighter, and just more compact. It reminds me of a thin DVD player. Sony has even taken the liberty of adding an on board ethernet port for those of us wanting to jump online while gaming. The updated console is about the size of a book, or thin laptop, making it a lot more portable than the previous iteration.

Why Are Chimps Stronger Than Humans?
Even though they're quite a bit smaller, chimps harbor exceptional strength. The reason why may come down to the difference between a Fabergé egg and a hand-dipped Easter egg: fine details.
Our muscles aren't that much different in size from a chimp's, but we have many more nerves feeding each one. This means we can exert much finer motor control and flex our muscles in many increments. Our motor control system also limits the degree to which we can flex our muscles in order to protect our fine motor control. A chimp has no such safeguard.
They also have longer muscle fibers (which can exert more force) and have been molded by evolution to maximize strength. For a chimp, with fewer nerve endings connecting to its longer muscles, it's a more all-or-nothing extreme rage flex. I also wasn't aware of their connection to Lithuanian knife smugglers, so watch out for that.
What would it be like to fight a chimp? One biologist described it like so:
Picture fighting a 300-pound olympic weightlifter with the reflexes of a hockey goaltender, whose main goal is to rip your face off your skull.
But can it master the fine motor control necessary to play Angry Birds?! I rest my case.

But despite cramping and discomfort, retained soap solution shouldn't have any lasting effects.

HISTORY OF THE EAGLES Documentary to Premiere on Showtime, 2/15
As previously announced at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT, Showtime has exclusively acquired the broadcast rights to the two-part documentary HISTORY OF THE EAGLES.
Granting unprecedented access, the iconic rock band partnered with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room), to produce this inside look into the history of the band and the legacy of its music. Part One will make its Worldwide television debut on Friday, February 15 at 8 PM ET/PT (two hours) and Part Two will premiere The Following night, Saturday, February 16 at 8pm ET/PT (one hour).
In an exclusive interview with Showtime about this project, Don Henley recounts: "We've traditionally, in this band, been very private...we haven't allowed a lot of access...especially backstage and when we're not performing. Some of the things in this documentary are rare glimpses into that world that we've really never allowed before."
Glenn Frey elaborates: "... this documentary is about survival; worthwhile relationships survive because people care about each other. And there are always going to be peaks and valleys, it's never going to be perfect. You enjoy the good times, you weather the bad times, and you know, you try to remember that you love each other. And here we are, you know, forty-two years later ...and we're still sitting here talking about it, it's fresh..."

District turning to electronic alternatives to allow students access to information
San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/24/2013 -- It appears that there may be no longer a use for the term "take out your textbooks", as the state budget for textbook purchases is now nonexistent.
That lack of funding is driving the search for a new way for students to gain their information. Naturally, it appears to be the electronic variety that is interesting students the most.
Schools are making do with the books that they do have, stretching the replacement cycles and repairing the worn volumes that are at all salvageable.
State funding has now dwindled from $21 million in 2008 to nil in the current year, says Nancy Rodriguez, who works as Kentucky Department of Education. The department of the state Board of Education has lobbied for more money in 2013, but there seems to be little hope of improvement, according to Rodriguez.
At the start of the century, when Mark Baker served as principal for the Lewis County High School, his district was on the receiving end of more than $50 per student from the textbook fund. Nowadays, the district-wide program director of Greenup County school says "It has been several years since the state has financed the purchase of books."
Baker's district replaces the current books only when it is deemed absolutely necessary. That term, according to Baker, is p to the teachers to define, and those teachers are urged to use the term sparingly. It uses money it otherwise would allocate to other functions when it buys books.
Textbooks are often much more expensive than the best of bestsellers at consumer bookstores. The average text can cost $65 and up per volume, according to the educators interviewed for this history.
The district has begun to buy netbooks and iPads to allow students to use their own smart phones to access information, rather than have to foot the bill for the books that are often necessary tools for learning.
