Re-Entering the Workforce
An increasing number of women are taking a few years off from their careers to have children and then re-entering the workforce once the kids are in school, so-called "sequencing moms." According to a survey by marketing strategy and research firm Reach Advisors, approximately 84 percent of Gen-X stay-at-home moms are considering returning to work after having children.
Returning to the workforce after such an absence can be a nerve-wracking experience for many women. Who will hire you? How do you explain that seven year gap on your resume? How do you get back up to speed with new technology and business practices? How do you turn your years as a PTA volunteer or bake-sale organizer into marketable experience?
In years past, companies did shy away from returning mothers, overlooking their former work experience and more recent time-management and life experience. But an increasing number of companies are beginning to recognize the valuable assets this group of women possesses and are now courting them. In fact, in 2004, more than a dozen large companies and prestigious law firms in the US and Britain created the "Hidden Brain Drain," a task force to advance women and minorities in the workplace. One of the topics discussed in their very first conference was how to create so-called "on-ramps" for women trying to get back into the workforce. According to a recent study, more than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies say they would likely hire a sequencing mom on a contract or short-term basis. And top business schools, such as Harvard and Dartmouth, are helping sequencing moms get back in the game by offering special training programs.
Sequencing moms have more career and life experience and proven skills, and tend to be highly educated, highly trained and motivated. The tide has turned in your favor, so if you are considering diving back into the work-a-day world, here are some tips to get you back in the swing of things.
Search Your Soul. Before you begin, ask yourself what you really want to do. Do you want to go back to the same industry you left or strike out in a new direction? In many ways, this is a golden opportunity to follow your dreams. It's so easy to fall into an unintended career path after college (who among us actually used our major?). If you weren't especially fulfilled by your last career, why not choose one that stimulates and fulfills you?
Revamp Your Resume. Fill in that gap in your resume with any volunteer projects you worked on. Did you manage your child's school bake sale? Were you treasurer of the PTA? Turn those experiences into management and finance experience. If you haven't been much involved in outside projects since you had your children, get out there now. Join the PTA, volunteer with community groups and take leadership positions if possible.
Network. If you haven't stayed involved in any industry organizations or professional groups, join up now. This will not only get your head back in the game of your chosen industry, they're great opportunities to meet potential employers and peers that can steer you in their direction.
Reconnect. Check in with your old employer. He or she knows your previous experience and qualifications better than anyone else and may be thrilled to have you return. Some employers are even willing to hold jobs if you want to take time off - an extended sabbatical of sorts. Two such companies, IBM and Deloitte & Touche, allow qualified employees to leave for several years, stay connected through a mentor program, keep their skills current using company resources, and then return to their old positions.
Educate Yourself. Take a few classes to brush up on your old skills or learn new technology. Or, if you want to head in a new career direction, consider getting a Master's or finishing that undergrad degree you never wrapped up. Classes can get expensive, though, so make sure you have fully researched the industry and really want to do it before you sink thousands of dollars into a new education.
Be Flexible. Consider working part-time or on a contract basis to get your foot in the door. This is also a great way to explore new career paths before you invest time and money into education or committing to a full-time, permanent position. Many companies will allow you to retain a flexible schedule once you are permanent. More and more employers are realizing the benefits to them and their employees of allowing them to work flexible schedules or telecommute.

ok, i've made a few references to this in general threads.. but posting it here is where you put up or shut up so to speak..
Sasuke, since 'gaining' his MS, has used it a few times and is apparently already starting to feel the effects of the 'losing your sight' aspect of the MS. before I get into my theory, lets review the known facts about MS/EMS and how Sasuke's different path to each
FACT (at least up until Sasuke): the upgrade from 3 tomoe sharingan to MS ends up with a MS pattern with 3 distinctive sides.. Sasuke's MS - 6 sided..
FACT (up until Sasuke.. and to an extent kakashi. but we've never learned how kakashi was able to activate his MS): to activate the MS, you had to kill your best friend. Sasuke has, if we really want to be overly technical, only killed Itachi (and to an extent, even that is questionable). he didnt kill Orochimaru, he allowed him to start the soul transfer ritual, then simply overpowered him in his own dimension with his willpower. Oro was effectively trapped in Sasuke's body with no say in what was going on (at least until Sasuke totally ran out of chakra fighting Itachi). and the MS techniques he does have (the ones we've seen him use at least) were transferred to him by Itachi right before he died. its possible that Itachi's were just the base dojutsu that all uchiha MS get upon activation, but thats a theory for another day
FACT (again, up until Sasuke): the six sided EMS was gained by removing your brothers MS activated eyes and implanting them in your own head. Sasuke's MS is already 6 sided..
FACT (up until sasuke again, though we havent seen Madara activate his beyond normal 3 tomoed sharingan yet as a comaprison): when a person activates the MS (at least when thier eye is open to see it) the tomoes from the sharingan 'evolve' into thier MS pattern. Sasuke has never has his eyes open during the evolution process on the MS that we know of
ok, heres where my theory comes in..
1)unless Itachi was Sasuke's true best friend and not Naruto, he shouldn't be able to activate MS at all. let alone have a 6 sided EMS style pattern
2) Then there's the MS pattern itself. Kishi has gone to at least some effort to make every other MS at least look like the next step in sharingan evolution, yet makes Sasuke's MS 6 sided. there has to be plot hole no jutsu explanation somewhere down the line
3) the EMS pattern we have seen (along with being 6 sided) is the melding of the 2 MS patterns used to create it. Sasuke's natural 6 sided MS seems to have no compatibility with Itachi's 'normal' 3 sided MS pattern. this is the part where I am the most confused about, and trying to figure it out is making my head hurt.. so i'll leave this be for now
4) if Sasuke's MS is really an EMS, he hasn't met the requirement for THAT either (though he has itachi's eyes handy should that prove needed). and as a result, his eyes are burning out at least twice as fast as they would if it were a 'normal' MS. Assuming Itachi didnt totally burn out his eyes during thier fight (which is entirely possible), I suppose he can at least fill that requirement
I've probably left holes in this big enough to put the hokage's mansion in, but im doing this in total off the top of my head mode using as many actual facts as possible, and its 1 in the morning as im writing it
I hope its an enjoyable read, and lok forward to the more in the know types here blowing it to shreds or actually supporting it

Marzipan Bars Set of 2 Bars
From Niederegger, the Masters Of Marzipan, Bars Drenched In Opulent Dark Chocolate
Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Organic Gardener DELICIOUS These taste the way marzipan bars should. The paste is not too sweet and the combination of almond and dark chocolate is REALLY yummy. An annual treat not to be missed. January 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by giraffelady Excellent Marzipan These bars make a great stocking stuffer for the marzipan lover. The local bakery that made marzipan and also imported marzipan has sold to another group and does not make or sell really good marzipan anymore. This is the best alternative I've found. December 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KathEd Marzipan This product has an "aftertaste" not really that good... We always buy See's so we are comparing to that. Thanks! December 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Geely Never too late for friends or chocolate A year or so ago, a co-chocolate loving friend & I were discussing our favorites. She got gooey-eyed, clasped hands to heart and told me how much she loved marzipan. I thought marzipan had something to do w/ cake icing and shuddered internally. I found some onsite here while looking for a Christmas gift for my grandson. After Christmas, I returned to buy the marzipan for my friend. After Christmas, I returned to buy the marzipan for my friend and due to Eastern storms, it was late in arriving but of course it is never too late to give or receive chocolate. It was a perfect Valentine gift to a new friend and I had the pleasure of watching her ecstasy and joy, and I learning something new in what marzipan truly is. Thank you for stocking family and friends variety of gifts! I am exceedingly pleased! February 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LoritheSmorts Marzipan bars is simple and delicious This made a nice snack for me, but if I were to entertain, it would be nice to add to a plate with crackers as well. I actually had not tried marzipan before, but because I like almonds, I thought I'd give it a try. It was a hit with me, and you can believe that I will be trying more marzipan in my future! February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by marzipan lover authentic marzipan My mother in law is from Germany and she says this is the best and only brand to buy. She loves it! I try to send her some every Christmas season as it is seldom available in local stores in the States. Other brands are more about sugar and less of the almonds. VCS seems to carry good German products and I recommend them to anyone wanting authenticity. February 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mellow Soooo Good Can't get enough. They are so good. January 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mr marzipan Best marzipan I had in years My wife and I like marzipan but for the longest time we'd find mediocre marzipan, either in NYC or stores in resort areas. But, we were delighted with this product and are becoming addicted to it. January 15, 2014

At Brighton Constable was particularly fascinated by the beach with its boats and fishermen. In this oil sketch he depicted beached boats with sails partly set, and showed a fisherman in the foreground, possibly mending his nets. He portrayed a tumbling sea and brisk wind with rapidly moving clouds. Using heavy impasto he captured the immediate sensations of light and atmosphere.
This is the oil sketch that Lucas used as a basis for the mezzotint, A sea beach .In the text for the mezzotint Constable observed that 'the continual change and ever-varying aspect' of the surface of the ocean suggested 'the most impressive and agreeable sentiments' (Beckett, Discourses, p. 19). He claimed that nothing in creation is 'so imposing as the Ocean' and nothing in nature presents 'a scene that is more exhilarating than a sea-beach, or so replete with interesting material to fill the canvass of the Painter' (ibid.). Constable began this text for the mezzotint with a quotation from George Crabbe's The Borough (1810) – describing the sea at Aldeburgh, Suffolk:
But nearer land you may the billows trace,
As if contending in their watery chase;
Curl'd as they come they strike with furious force
And then reflowing, take their grating course.

By MICHAEL SWENSONPayson
Dear Editor,
Regarding Emery County's and the State of Utah's lawsuit to quiet title to seven roads in the San Rafael Swell, BLM spokesman Don Banks claims that the county agreed to the BLM plan that resulted in closure of the roads. However, what Banks did not say was that BLM's planning process deliberately ignored Emery County's RS-2477 roads and refused to address the issue. Under BLM's planning scheme, the county was never given the opportunity to disagree. BLM cannot be surprised that a planning technique that overlooked obvious legal issues has resulted in litigation. BLM has attempted to use the same "ignore and close" technique in its current land plan revisions throughout the state.
However, counties and the state, having learned the hard way from BLM's San Rafael plan and the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument plan, are now compelling BLM to consider, rather than ignore, RS-2477 highways. Federal law requires that vested rights be considered, not ignored, during federal land use planning. Federal law also requires that federal plans be consistent with local land use plans to the maximum extent possible. BLM must follow the law or expect litigation. Governor Huntsman, Attorney General Shurtleff, and the Emery County officials are simply reminding BLM of these realities. Utahns overwhelmingly support these officials' actions.

Ducks' Blake turning back the clock
Was Jason Blake really the missing piece for the Ducks? Is there some sort of Peyton Manning Effect at work here?
Perhaps it is all a coincidence, but the Ducks' winning ways have at last resumed upon Blake returning to the lineup on Jan. 4. They've won five of six games and the veteran winger is playing a larger role as he has worked himself back into top shape following a 34-game layoff because of a major wrist injury.
In the 10 games that Blake has dressed, the Ducks are 7-2-1. Otherwise, they were an awful 8-20-6.
Coincidence? Perhaps, but the 38-year-old forward is playing as if he has turned back the clock after putting his teammates on his back with a two-goal, one-assist, 10-shot performance against powerful Vancouver on Sunday night in a 4-2 victory over the Canucks.
"It's amazing," said Nick Bonino, whose rebound goal came off an initial shot from his linemate. "Especially with the year he's had, how he got hurt and came back. He got his first goal last game and came back with two more. I guess the plan right now is to get him the puck and it's going to go in the net."
Blake has three goals and three assists in the seven games he has played since becoming available again. He's now on a line with Bonino and Andrew Cogliano and his offensive capabilities could come in handy for a third line that's starved for consistent production in recent years.
Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf said Blake was missed while he was injured and that he brings added experience to the lineup.
"I think that 'J' brings a lot to the table," Getzlaf said. "He's an experienced guy that brings a lot ... and also to a step down to the third line. He could have come back and pouted because he wasn't back with Saku [Koivu]. When things are going, everybody's buying in and everybody's doing the right things."
Blake said strength coach Sean Skahan and the rest of the Ducks' medical and training staff played a big part in him returning two weeks ahead of his original timetable of mid-to-late January after having the tendons in his left wrist torn when he was cut the skate of San Jose defenseman Brent Burns back on Oct. 14.
"A lot of people said it could have been worse," Blake said, pointing to the veins in his wrist. "I looked at it and I'm like, 'I don't know if it can be worse because I can't feel any of this still to this day.'
"Obviously if it were cut there, it would have been a lot scarier. I knew if I had just stayed patient, did my rehab, did my therapy, did everything that they told me to do ... They thought around the All-Star break, Feb. 1. Great job by the guys behind the scenes to try to get me back sooner. I'm just starting to hopefully turn that corner."
The chance of another contract in the off-season can also serve as a motivational tool. Blake will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1 as he in the final year of his $20-million deal that he signed back in 2007 with Toronto.
It remains to be seen if the Ducks would like to bring him back at a lower salary or consider moving him if they remain out of the playoff picture and a contending team is looking for a veteran who can provide some secondary scoring.
Blake is making $3 million this season and carries a $4 million cap hit that would be significantly lowered by the Feb. 27 trade deadline.
"When you're in your last year of your deal and you miss (34) games and you're at the age he is, you probably start to wonder what's going on," Boudreau said. "He started off a little slow but every game he's played a little more. Every game he's played a little better. He's gotten his legs.
"The first game on the trip (against Calgary), he wasn't very good. I talked to him a little bit about it. The game in Edmonton was a lot better. (Sunday), he was really good. When he's going, he's a big contributor on that other line. When you can get three lines going, it makes quite a difference in a hockey team."

Posted on 09/12/2013 12:51:09 AM PDT by lbryce
MOSCOW RECENT events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and their political leaders. It is important to do so at a time of insufficient communication between our societies.
Relations between us have passed through different stages. We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international organization the United Nations was then established to prevent such devastation from ever happening again.
The United Nations founders understood that decisions affecting war and peace should happen only by consensus, and with Americas consent the veto by Security Council permanent members was enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The profound wisdom of this has underpinned the stability of international relations for decades.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Not only has this POS ( I am referring to Putin), outperformed and clearly beaten the US, now he's engaging in classic PRAVDA propaganda backup to his policies.
He is on a roll and why shouldn't he be? He KO'd Obama, 30 seconds into Round One.
Now comes the direct appeal to the American people...to hell with you Putin and when you descend down to Hades, take the POTUS with you.
Putin floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
I see it now. Obama on Russian TV; My fellow Comrades....
International politics makes for some strange positions. obamber arguing for American exeptionalism ?
Anyway, thats where vlady lost me.
If only we had a leader.
That said, don't think for a minute that you can now be "king" of America. Try to step into that role and the still exceptional, free, American people will give your cute little chest a titty twister to remember. Thanks again. And have a nice day.
"This internal conflict, fueled by foreign weapons supplied to the opposition, is one of the bloodiest in the world."
Putin is pointing the finger at the United States under the Obama Syndicate. The conflict in Syria is being fueled by U.S. supplied weapons. This is the area of illicit arms trafficking. It is this type of covert action that has set world opinion against the United States. There has been a move to curb the proliferation of military-style small arms to insurgent forces and other non-state actors. On 2 April 2013, the General Assembly adopted the landmark Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) to address the following:
"the international trade in conventional arms, from small arms to battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships. The treaty will foster peace and security by putting a stop to destabilising arms flows to conflict regions. It will prevent human rights abusers and violators of the law of war from being supplied with arms. And it will help keep warlords, pirates, and gangs from acquiring these deadly tools."
This is why Putin states,
"We need to use the United Nations Security Council and believe that preserving law and order in todays complex and turbulent world is one of the few ways to keep international relations from sliding into chaos. The law is still the law, and we must follow it whether we like it or not. Under current international law, force is permitted only in self-defense or by the decision of the Security Council. Anything else is unacceptable under the United Nations Charter and would constitute an act of aggression."
I believe under the definition of "force" comes the idea of weapons proliferation. It is the heart of Fast and Furious, the Benghazi scandal and its coverup. It is this action by the Obama Syndicate that is out of step with UN law and it could wind up blowing up in Zer0's face.
" There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lords blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."
I believe Vladimir Putin means to do good. I know he believes in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. His father was a communist and atheist, but his mother was a devoted Russian Orthodox Christian. She had Vladimir baptized as an infant, and he attended church with her often. He attends church on a regular basis. Contrast this with the Obama family who rarely attend church.
I'm sure that Putin still misunderstands some things about the heart of American traditional beliefs.
However, it was a very mature and constructive communication.
Points made about who's who in terrorism are probably the most important part. It give credence to the Russian attempt to warn the US about the Boston bombers.
Not trashing Obama allows the American left to listen.
I see less posturing here than in nearly all American politicians, today.
Also, did he take a shot at Obama or America when he said this:
And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States policy is what makes America different. Its what makes us exceptional. It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lords blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.
Far be it from me to think that Obama considers America "great"...on the contrary, I believe Obama hates the Constitution, Christianity and capitalism.
What makes America great are those three things, not in that order.
Putin is wrong to think America is not exceptional...we are. Obama is wrong because he says we are exceptional, because he says this only to stroke his ego.
I agree with most of what you say...
Syria is Brer Zer0's Tar Baby . . .
The more Brer Zer0 pokes away at the Tar Baby, the more he will get stuck to it.
I reserve the right to oppose both Obama and Putin.
Yes, Putin misunderstands what American exceptionalism is, and Obama is the epitome of that arrogance and self righteousness.
Putin may think Obama is representative of America, God help us.
His OP-Ed wouldn't get his picture in Times Square, let alone right next to Lincoln.
Well, why not? They're both on the same team.
If only we had a leader.
We're the leadership there actually is. If you're waiting for something more charismatic, you're probably going to be disappointed.
Maybe Putin thinks Obama isn't exceptional. I would agree with that.
He sure ain't American.
This position also locks in the status quo; it ensures that those in power remain in power and that the ability to replace a repressive regime is removed from the hands of the people.
Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing.
What I did like about the letter: (1) The mention of God: it's refreshing to see a former head of KGB appealing to God, whether he meant it or not. (2) The insistence that the rebels are Islamic fundamentalist jihadists. I agree with that, and I know that supporting them is signing a death warrant for Syrian Christians, and signing a license to attack Israel in the future, and to give them control of vast quantities of WMDs which they will use against their enemies, the US being their major enemy. (3) The acknowledgement that Obama has screwed this up. He has. Royally.
ROTFLMAO!!!! Well put!
Wait 'til the word breaks that Vlad is looking for real estate on Central Park West?
LOL. 1.(WWSD?) 2. Let's Party, Comrades!
Putin's Op-Ed and "appeal to the American people" says out loud what US State-controlled media dare not utter: Obama is too stupid to be U.S. President and an international leader. It is dangerous when an idiot takes the controls. It is very dangerous indeed when an idiot at the controls believes he is a genius.
Putin is no stranger to arrogance, but his is based on ruthless intelligence and longterm personal success. How galling it must be to see Obama strut about, chin jutted Il Duce-style, proclaiming himself exceptional, while he knows nothing about diplomacy and hypocritically jettisons the "international concensus" he used to champion whenever it disagrees with his jihadi agenda.
US arrogation of a unilateral right, even an obligation, to attack countries that suppress internal minorities (e.g., Chechens; Islamic militants) or even use WMD within their own borders, would be seen as an existential threat by Putin, and by China (which systematically suppresses Tibetans and Uighurs). Were Obama and Kerry too dim to know that before starting this fiasco? Do they have no experienced advisors? Or are they too arrogant to listen?
So you really think Putin is on par with Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Roosevelt? Really?
Zerobozo, Kerry, McAnial, and Grahaministry are now totally irrelevant in the real world outside of the beltway.
The chess player is taking the High Moral Ground and making Obama look like a the fool he is, and Obama can't call him a Racist. We are being regulated to death, invaded by millions who are breaking our immigration laws but I dare not even get a parking ticket. And I'm sick and tired of being lied to, thieved from, and being spied on!
Right. Exactly right.
When enemies fight the best
course is to let them.
He has no respect whatsoever for Obama and this translates to no respect for the US.
Putin would never have written such editorial when GW Bush was president.
GWB wasn't as arrogant and stupid as our present occupant of the white house.
There wouldn't have been a need for Putin to write a letter like that to GWB.
And I disagree with Drudge's bi-line. I do not believe he was mocking the US - I would expect any non American to hold the same opinion concerning American exceptionalism.
In a way he is correct. We have fags all in our faces and the military, queer marriage, exploding debt, gutting our defense, porous borders, heavy tax burdens, half our population on welfare, our achievements now are social media widgets as opposed to putting men on the moon, industry is shrinking... Compared to what we were in the 80's or before we have lost a lot.
However, I will only say to him if we are so bad why does everyone want to come here? (Inside I know that most just want a free ride)
I think Putin, while seeing the US as a rival (not as necessarily an enemy), truly is concerned about what he sees happening in the West....the guy is a fan of Solzhenitsyn, who tried to warn us about the decline of the West.
Russia is an oppressive government. America isn't far behind. Anytime a government becomes as massive as America's government has, it will be oppressive and over-reaching.
We win a few skirmishes to beat it back and we celebrate, but it doesn't even register as it is so massive. We're throwing pebbles in an ocean.
American exceptionalism might return if we toss out most of our institutions. Toss 75% of government, government schools, government colleges, welfare, dependence on government in general.
I can see what Vlad is trying to do here: Obama has repeatedly Knocked American exceptionalism and said it's no big deal and Americans will have to accept that we're not the top country in the world anymore.
He has simply used Obozo's words against him, daring him to disagree and flip flop once again. Putin plays chess while our POS plays cards with Reggie Lover.
"while our POS plays cards with Reggie Lover."
Is that what they call it now? I learn a new euphemism every day. ;)
Putin is totally right on the above statement... Please God, let Hillary, Kerry and all the other liberal idiots understand the above truth...
Well, 'Fast and Furious' was used against the American right - but other than that the tactics are similar...
Let's see: who was it that invaded and killed their neighboring countries, and tried to conquer the world by force? Hmmmm, was it the Evil Russian Soviets?
And who was it that stopped these Evil Bastards? Hmmm, was it the Exceptional Americans?
Putin is correct about exceptionalism based on the false, jingoistic way in which Obama described it. Putin is calling Obama on Obama's own shallowness. I don't think that Obama even understands what American exceptionalism is. He views it with disdain as moral superiority, with which he let his speechwriter run wild. Putin understands, however, and hangs Obama with his own words. No offense was intended to American patriots. This was just some business he had with Obama.
The US Left is going nuts over this.
He has dared to speak some truth about Obama, and that simply cannot be allowed.
Putin takes leadership role. Putin makes Bambi look like a chump. Lots of headlines here.
Dude. People can change. Countries can change (we know to well).
Putin funds Islamic nutcases everywhere except within Russia and republics that attack Russians, then, he is merciless but don't worry, all that Russian aid and Nukes for Iran will come back to haunt the SOB when they turn on Moscow...

We arrive at our hotel, the five-star Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, right at the top of leafy Collins St, and can't help admiring the flower-and feather-festooned horse heads dotted around the lobby.
Even better is the view from our room up high with Melbourne stretched out below us, with its parks, old buildings and grid of streets. Thankfully, nearly everything we've planned to eat, see and do is within a short walk or tram ride.
The central city is a virtual ghost town on the morning of Melbourne Cup day - it's a public holiday. No-one bats an eyelid as women in full makeup and fascinators eat breakfast. We receive a warm greeting and hot coffee from HeliServe - the only helicopter company allowed to fly into Flemington raceway.
We are treated to a bird's-eye view: snaking motorways, the Dandenong ranges, and the coast.
It's the only way to arrive at Flemington - a great move considering the crowd this year topped 105,000.
One of the biggest surprises is how pretty the racecourse is - surrounded by roses and pansies - a minor miracle a local tells us given that the previous week there had been a storm then two days when the mercury hit 35C. We can feel the tension mount as the clock ticks down to the race that stops the nation.
Good food and drink is abundant and Melburnians have understandably high epicurean expectations. Visitors are rarely disappointed. We grab an early coffee at Cumulus Inc, nearby. It oozes chic. Most importantly, the coffee is fresh, hot, tastes great and is reasonably priced at A$3.50 ($4.40). Led by our stomachs, we devote an entire day to exploring the Yarra Valley nearby. Only 45 minutes from the city, it feels like the Yarra is to Melbourne what Wairarapa is to Wellington, with green rolling hills, vineyards, boutiques and has a weekend feeling.
We stop for hand-made chocolate at Kennedy & Wilson Chocolates in Healesville followed by beer tastings at the White Rabbit Brewery.
We love the clink of the bottling line on one side and open fermentation tanks on the other.
Our host positively exudes his passion for craft brewing - well worth a weekend trip when these ever-changing beers are put on tap.
Next, we stop for lunch at the Rochford Winery, but are whisked away on a Segway tour with a group of Brazilian tourists. It's great fun sailing around the vines. Rochford also hosts a monthly farmers' market and concerts, with Hoodoo Gurus, Simple Minds and Elvis Costello already confirmed for the next season.
Just down the road is the Yarra Valley Dairy. Inside is small, but perfectly formed, with the cheese counter, a small deli, sweet treats - including caneles, small French pastries with custardy centres and a caramelised crust - and a wine-tasting corner which stocks boutique local wines not found at other cellar doors. They also produce glorious soft cheeses and it's easy to see why some of Melbourne's top restaurateurs shop here.
There's just time for high tea at the historic five-star Chateau Yering before we return to the city. Set on 101ha and surrounded by heritage-listed gardens, it's the perfect end to a perfect foodie day.
One of our best finds is Miss Chu, known as the queen of rice-paper rolls. We're hustled in and mark our selections on the checksheet on our table: sashimi tuna rice-paper rolls to share and a chilli prawn Vietnamese warm vermicelli spring roll salad washed down with young coconut juice. The food is fast, fresh and reasonably priced - with no dish over A$15.
To round off our gastronomic exploits we dine at George Calombaris's restaurant, The Press Club, to experience modern Greek cuisine. George is known here as a judge on Australia's Masterchef. We ooh and ahh through a nine-course degustation menu, accompanied by the Victorian Bird on a Wire chardonnay we'd spied at the Yarra Valley Dairy. Our final dish is a dessert called Zeus & his 8 mistresses that contains nine types of chocolate and is almost too beautiful to eat. As George once said, "Good food is not just about the flavour and the taste, it's about the experience," and The Press Club has that in buckets.
Like many New Zealanders, we make a beeline for that mecca of cheap and cheerful Scandinavian chic - Ikea. The Richmond store is a short tram ride from the CBD through Little Vietnam.
We're also within walking distance of Bourke Street Mall - one of Melbourne's main shopping areas.
We go into a mini-frenzy in Spanish clothing retail giant Zara. Melbourne also houses Gap and TopShop and whispers around town are that H&M; and Uniqlo are also looking to open stores.
However, we stumble upon shopping treasures almost accidentally. We stock up on quirky Christmas gifts at art and design gift shop Monster Threads and covet the folksy-cute fox handbags in Chi-Chi Leonard St.
We only have time for a quick visit to ACMI, or the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, which celebrates film, television and digital media.
In central Federation Square, entry is free and it's fun for all. You can film a time slice clip of yourself Matrix-style (and email it to yourself).
After such an action-packed week, we spend the last day unwinding.
We start by taking the tram out to St Kilda to swim laps at the Moorish-style, historic St Kilda sea baths which are surprisingly uncrowded given its prime seafront location.
After eating and drinking our way around Melbourne, it feels lovely to be in the warm seawater.
Back in the city we arrive at East Day Spa for our 135-minute Sakura package that includes a 60-minute Balinese massage and Elemis oxygen skin calm facial. It's a great way to end our trip: buffed, polished and gently kneaded into total relaxation. We float out of the spa feeling 10 years younger.
Melbourne - you wooed us and won us over with your cosmopolitan, but laidback style. A truly modern great city, we've loved it so.
Jane Caple visited Melbourne with the assistance of Victoria Racing Club and Tourism Victoria.

The breakthrough of the German 6th panzer army - Composed of Waffen SS divisions famous for their fanaticism and savagery, the 6th Panzer Army, commanded by Field-Marshal Sepp Dietrich, received the order to cross the Meuse between Huy and Liège. The spearhead of the attack would be a Kampfgruppe (Task Force) of 1. SS commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Joachim Peiper. Although surprised by the start of the offensive, the American units reacted vigorously to restore their lines of defence, and managed to inflict a considerable delay to the push. The Kampfgruppe Peiper was finally stopped at La Gleize. The 12th, 2nd and 9th SS Panzer was also stopped. The breakthrough of the 6th Panzer Army was brought to a stop.

Nice shoes, just not for my husband
"Sadly, I returned these Calvin Klein slip-ons. They looked great online and in person, but they weren't the style my husband prefers. He said they fit true to size and were comfortable."

Stylish and comforrtable
"Bought these on clearance a few months ago and love them. I leave them at work during the winter so I can change out of my boots at the office and always have a fresh, clean pair of shoes ready to go. These are very comfortable and stylish. I typically can't wear designer shoes due to a high instep but these feel great so if you normal need a wider shoe try these out. Quality seems to be average but they do mark up a little easier than other shoes I've worn so I keep a quick bottle of polish in my drawer and touch them up once a week or so just to keep them looking new."

A prison shrouded in horrific legends, valuable historical collections, a beautiful view over the city and many cultural events held throughout the year – all of this is Špilberk Castle. One of the two most important dominant features of the Moravian capital and a place which became synonymous with the most horrific of dungeons throughout the whole of Europe is nowadays one of the most valuable monuments in Brno.
+420 542 123 611
Špilberk's importance and role changed fundamentally over the course of the centuries. This leading royal castle and seat of the Moravian margraves, gradually transformed into a monumental Baroque fortress, the toughest prison of the Austrian monarchy and later a military barracks. Nowadays it is home to Brno City Museum and one of the most important cultural centres in the city.
This monumental fortress, which rises up over a steep slope directly over the historical centre of the city, is a popular place for walks and relaxation among the locals. Here, you will meet young couples, senior citizens walking their dogs and athletes keeping in shape.
Špilberk was founded in the middle of the 13th century by the Czech king Přemysl Otakar II. He conceived its construction on a very grand scale, both as firm support for his power and also as a dignified seat for the rulers of Moravia. However, it made its mark on history mostly as a prison for the toughest and most dangerous of criminals. It was not only "regular" murderers, thieves or arsonists who did their time here, but also so-called state prisoners. This concerned people from the upper classes such as Italian nationalists or people fighting against Habsburg absolutism.
The list of most famous prisoners at Špilberk for example includes the Austrian commanders Bonneval and Wallis or the famous Colonel Franz Trenck. The Italian poet Silvio Pellico also spent eight years here against his will, during which time he wrote "My Prisons", a book which made the name Špilberk famous all over Europe. An exhibition is housed here nowadays, where you can gain an insight into the history of Špilberk as the famous "prison of nations". Everybody can walk through the crowded and dark rooms here, which came to be feared all across Europe.

Grant: Why the Angels could tire 'real quickly' of ex-Texas Ranger Josh Hamilton
Texas Rangers beat writer Evan Grant answered reader questions during a live chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights:
Over/under on when Josh "drops the ball" in Anaheim (literally or figuratively)?
Evan Grant: Think there is every possibility for that clubhouse to have an implosion. Mike Scioscia was having to do some explaining for Hamilton yesterday. Guys get tired of that real quickly and with no real team spokesman, it can become a pain. Michael Young was always willing to be the team spokesman in Texas. The Angels had one in Torii Hunter. I think they are going to miss him.
Will the ridiculous contracts the Angels have in just two players (i.e. Hamilton and Pujols) make it difficult to keep Trout in a few years?
Evan Grant: I think the Angels will act quickly to try and get Trout signed to a deal that buys him out of at least two years of free agency. That deal won't be a backbreaker since he's not yet eligible for arbitration and will really need that security. He'll have to give up a couple of years of prime free agency for the first long-term contract, which is all about security.
Here's another over/under...how many years before Angels think about trading Josh (assuming they can)?
Evan Grant: I'd think after the third year for sure. He'd be 35 by then, surely out of the prime of his career. Who knows what other issues may be involved.

Love them!
"Great, stylish and very classy dress shoe. It's very nicely made, looks great on my feet from every angle. I wear size 8 and I have slightly wide feet and short toes. It runs true to size (both the length and the width) and considering the height of the heel it's still easy to walk in them (if you are used to walk in high heels). The chunky curved heel is very sexy and gives some extra support while walking which is great, but most of all gives this shoe an attitude! That's why I think this shoe is timeless!It looks amazing on skinny jeans, capri pants or with skirts and dresses, too!I'm ordering the pony hair style of the same shoe for sure! :)Would highly recommend it to a friend!"

Manti-La Sal National Forest Proposes Recreation Fees
PRICE, UT - Recreation managers on the Manti-La Sal National Forest
are interested in hearing your comments on a proposal to charge fees
at one new group site and three single family campsites at Miller Flat
Ferron/Price Ranger District: Miller Flat, a loop within the Lake
Canyon Recreation Area is adding three new sites that would charge $5
per vehicle per night for a single family campsite and $50 for the
group site which is identical to fees charges at other sites in Lake
Canyon Recreation Area.
"We recognize how important these sites are to our local communities
and those who use the sites," said Bill Broadbear, Manti-La Sal
recreation program manager. "These fees will help us maintain the new
and improved sites to the level and quality people have come to
All fee proposals will be presented before a citizen's advisory
committee, Utah BLM Recreation Resource Advisory Committee (RRAC).
Committee members represent a broad array of recreation interest
groups to help ensure that the Forest Service is proposing reasonable
and publicly acceptable fee changes. Committee members will help
ensure that the Forest Service addresses public issues and concerns
about recreation fees. The public is welcome to attend and comment at
all advisory committee meetings. The next RRAC meeting is expected to
be held the winter of 2013, the exact meeting time, location and
agenda will be announced on forest website and through local media.
These fee proposals will also have extensive reviews by both the
Forest Service Regional and Washington Offices.
In 2004, Congress passed the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act
which allows the Forest Service to keep 95 percent of fees collected
at certain recreation sites and use these funds locally to operate and
maintain and improve these sites.
Most recreation opportunities on Forest Service-managed lands are
free. The Forest Service manages about 20,800 developed or primitive
recreation sites, of which about 4,000 currently charge fees under the
Recreation Enhancement Act. Of those sites charging fees more than 60
percent are campgrounds and lookout/cabin rentals.
The sites at Miller Flat may be reserved. Visitors wanting to use
them must make reservations via toll free number (877) 444-6777 or
online at www.recreation.gov
For more information, questions or comments about these fee proposals
please contact: Bill Broadbear, Ferron/Price and Sanpete Recreation
Program Manager, (435) 636-3516 or email at email@example.com. All
comments should be sent to Bill Broadbear, Manti-La Sal National
Forest, 599 West Price River Drive, Price, Utah 84501 by October 31,
Further information about the entire fee proposal is located on the
forest website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/mantilasal/; or by
contacting Ann King, Public Service Group Leader (435) 636-3535 or

FGD: No More Blues in St. Louis
Kent Wilson
February 15 2013 03:35PM
It has been a long, laborious rebuild in St. Louis over the years. For a long time, they resembled one of those clubs who is always lousy, always picks high, but never seems to get anywhere (*cough* Islanders and Oilers *cough*).
Until a couple years ago. All of sudden, the Blues hit a sort of critical mass of quality players and things started to click. David Backes emerged as a Selke quality center. He's joined by David Perron, Patrik Berglund, Andy McDonald, TJ Oshie, Alex Steen and Alexander Tarasenko up front these days, backed by a blueline featuring quality kids like Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk.
As you can see, there aren't any established superstars on the Blues roster (maybe in the future), but what they do boast is line after line of quality, effective skaters. The Blues can shut you down in waves, as evidenced by their league leading shot against/game average (21.9). The only other team even in spitting distance of the Blues by that measure is the Kings (24.9). No one else allows less than 25 shots per game.
St. Louis has some of the best shot metrics in the league (both this season and last) so don't believe their recent struggles. Like the Flames their primary issue this year has been goaltending (spiked by injuries), but that's unlikely to last. Even if they just settle out to average puck stopping, the Blues will be one of the best in the West.
Calgary's obviously in tough this evening. The Blues will be the best team they've faced this year, so it will be interesting to see how the Flames do shot and scoring chance wise against a true contender.
The Line-up
There will be some changes to the roster despite the win over Dallas. Paul Byron has a broken hand and will be replaced by Roman Horak. The third defense pairing will be turned over completely as well with Anton Babchuk and Derek Smith replacing Butler and Sarich. The latter two guys have looked behind the pace for the last two contests, so their ouster isn't too much of a surprise. Babchuk isn't the fleetest of foot either, but at least he offers something in the offensive zone.
Here's how the lines may settle out based on how Hartley managed things against Dallas.
- Cervenka - Tanguay - Hudler
- Cammalleri - Stajan - Stempniak
- Glencross - Horak - Iginla
- Comeau - Jones - Jackman
- Bouwmeester - Giordano
- Wideman - Brodie
- Babchuk - Smith
- Irving
Irving gets another go after a so-so start last game. The kid has made some nice saves in just about every appearance, but the overall performance just isn't quite there. He always allows at least one stoppable puck by him every night and there's segments of the game where he seems to over-commit, lose his net or just look jittery in general. In five games he now has an .895 SV% and he managed precisely one quality start out of four thus far (quality starts = 91.7 SV% in game, or at least 89.8% while allowing 2 or less goals).
Those aren't notable results by any stretch. Of course, four and a bit appearances is a tiny sample. Irving's problem is he doesn't truly have the organization's confidence so he needs to be outstanding more often than not to change some minds. If he has another 3+ goal against outing tonight, you can be sure MacDonald will get the next shot and Irving will likely find his way back to the AHL once Kipper is healthy.
The Opposition
- Perron - Backes - Oshie
- Mcdonald - Steen - Tarasenko
- Schwartz - Berglund - Stewart
- Sobotka - Nichol - Reeves
- Cole - Pietrangelo
- Jackman - Shattenkirk
- Russell - Polak
- Allen
The big concern up front is the Backes line. They are Hitchcock's PVP unit and they tend to win the shot and chance battle more often than not. The second line is also threatening, if partially because Ken is giving them the Sedin treatment through the early going: Tarasenko, Steen and McDonald would be worrisome as a unit in general, but with zone starts cresting 70% they are getting the high ground almost exclusively.
If the Blues have a true weak spot, it's that third unit. Berglund is a quality middle-tier forward but the other guys aren't. Jaden Schwartz is a former first round pick, but he doesn't quite have his pro legs yet. Chris Stewart is known for being a big guy with a great shot, but he's had terrible underlying numbers since his Colorado days. When he's not running hot, Stewart is a liability which is why he has spent some time in the pressbox under Hitchcock over the last calender year. Of course, they also get sheltered quite a bit (Kenny buries his first and fourth lines to give his middle rotation as much of a push as possible), so they'll be difficult to take advantage of.
Of course, Jake Allen is also a question mark. The rookie 'tender is in because Jaro Halak is hurt and Brian Elliot has come crashing back down to earth after his high water mark last year. Allen has been a good but not great goalie during a two year stint in the AHL, so there's no reason to expect the 22-year old to suddenly step in a become a stud at this point.
Sum it up
The Blues are legit. There's no Crosby or Malkin types in their line-up, just great coaching and a strong collection of good-to-very-good skaters. The Blues can choke the life out of the opposition's offense, so they will be a very stiff test for a Calgary team that has been pretty decent at getting shots and chances through (if not goals quite yet).
The Flames are in a familiar position: they need to start collecting wins and points sooner rather than later if they hope to be a going concern in the Western Conference playoff race. The slow start means the club is rapidly running out of runway, leaving little room for moral victories if the post-season is the true goal.
February 15 2013, 07:51PM
WTH was that??? It's definitely going to be one of those nights now.
February 15 2013, 07:51PM
We can still get back in this game... but THOSE have to go in the net.
February 15 2013, 07:51PM
how the eff did that even happen?
February 15 2013, 07:52PM
Babchuk has more icetime so far tonight than T.J. Brodie. That should literally never happen, ever.
Hey wasn't Jake Allen the goalie that choked for Canada vs the States in the Gold Medal game
February 15 2013, 07:52PM
Seeing the replay, that save was INSANE
February 15 2013, 07:54PM
Put Irving back in.
February 15 2013, 07:54PM
The Flames are running out of goalies to pull. They just cannot play a 200-foot game tonight whatsoever.
@Kent Wilson
Damnit Kent
February 15 2013, 07:55PM
I'm gonna lose it faster than the flames are right now if this continues.
February 15 2013, 07:55PM
for the record, that's why I like Steen so much.
How is Stewart a +3?
Wideman a -3. I blame Kent.
February 15 2013, 07:56PM
Bad luck happens. Just keep working.
February 15 2013, 07:57PM
Hey wasn't Jake Allen the goalie that choked for Canada vs the States in the Gold Medal game
thought allen played well wasnt it visentin chokin in back to back years?
February 15 2013, 07:58PM
flames gotta keep their feet movin
February 15 2013, 07:59PM
Somehow this is ALL Babchuk's fault.
February 15 2013, 07:59PM
Allen wasn't very good at all, but he was the de facto starter, so Canada repeatedly went with him (sound familiar?). He (finally) lost the starting job to Martin Jones in the gold medal game.
February 15 2013, 08:01PM
Time to start drinking, gang...
February 15 2013, 08:02PM
yup. that's how this game is going. probably only be 2-0 if irving wasn't who we thought he was tonight.
...Stop, in the name of love, before you brake my heart...
February 15 2013, 08:05PM
Tonight's Post-Game will be brought to you by... whiskey.
February 15 2013, 08:05PM
pull the goalie go with six skaters
February 15 2013, 08:06PM
Stajan has probably been the only good Flame tonight. That is exactly as depressing as it sounds.
February 15 2013, 08:07PM
Chances were 6-3 Blues.
I have 600 - 1
February 15 2013, 08:08PM
painful first period
February 15 2013, 08:08PM
Irving allowed 2 goals on 4 shots. MacBackup allowed 2 goals on 8 shots.
Flames were out-shot 12-8.
Wideman, Cervenka, Hudler and Tanguay are each minus-3.
The 4 goal lead is the worst lead in hockey, right? Right.
February 15 2013, 08:09PM
The Blues have given up a tonne of goals. Flames can come back. Chip chip chip away.
February 15 2013, 08:09PM
If this massacre gets any worse, they're gonna move Valentine's Day to the 15th.
February 15 2013, 08:10PM
anybody see the captain.
February 15 2013, 08:11PM
Irving allowed 2 goals on 4 shots. MacBackup allowed 2 goals on 8 shots.
Flames were out-shot 12-8.
Wideman, Cervenka, Hudler and Tanguay are each minus-3.
I was just about to say the same thing.
I don't even know what to say about this one.
When JW is the positive one, you know things have gone bad.
February 15 2013, 08:16PM
flames need to find that albert kid from canadian tire fame
Look what I find. This will cheer you up
February 15 2013, 08:20PM
RYAN CULKIN has a goal and an assist, including the potential game-winner. Quebec leads Baie-Comeau 4-1.
February 15 2013, 08:20PM
@Kent Wilson
Yes. Yes they can. Apparently he was great tonight but the Heat still lost.
...they can still recall Taylor, right?
Is Hasek still available?
February 15 2013, 08:24PM
@Kent Wilson
At the very least you should steal his fashion sense. #SharpDressedMan

Don't even get us started on the average lifespan of a suitcase these days—twin thank-you's to shoddy craftsmanship and oh-so-delicate baggage handlers. But there are some companies that still place a premium on durable materials, functionality, and timeless design. We've put together a list of products that will be reliable travel companions from now till you take that retirement trip to Mars.
Briggs & Riley Medium Expandable Upright Suitcase Nothing faces more wear-and-tear than a checked bag. But Briggs & Riley is so confident about the durability of their suitcases—from the ballistic nylon fabric to the lightweight fiberglass frame—that it guarantees them for life. If it's ever damaged (even by an airline!) the company will repair it for free. briggs-riley.com; $499
Davek Travel Umbrella If $79 for an umbrella seems steep, just add up the cost of all the cheap, flimsy ones you've had to replace in the past 10 years, and we're guessing you'll come up with a much larger number. Davek's solid steel shaft, reinforced frame, and 190 thread-count fabric mean it's an investment piece that will last. And if it doesn't, they'll replace it for free. davekny.com; $79
L.L. Bean Camp Sleeping Bag In 2012, L.L. Bean celebrates 100 years in the outdoor gear business. That century of wisdom goes a long way when it comes to making quality products like this flannel-lined sleeping bag. The scroll quilting prevents the high-loft polyester lining from shifting or clumping. And if it should ever do you wrong, send it back for a new one. llbean.com; $79
Patagonia Nano Puff Hoody Weighing in at just 12.7 smooshable ounces (with teeny carrying case), the windproof and weather-resistant Patagonia Nano Puff Hoody protects you from the elements without taking up too much room. And it comes with the company's ironclad guarantee—if it doesn't live up to your expectations, they'll replace or repair it for you. patagonia.com; $199

An Ireland side depleted by the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia brought Canada to earth with a thud on Saturday with a 40-14 Test triumph in Toronto.
Canada came into the contest riding high, after victories over Tonga, Fiji, the United States and Russia.
Ireland, in contrast, were without many of their biggest stars. Nevertheless, the eighth-ranked team in the world lived up to their favorites' billing, breaking open the contest in the second half after taking a 12-9 lead into the interval.
Fergus McFadden scored three tries for Ireland, who also had tries from Darren Cave, Andrew Trimble and Tommy O'Donnell.
In front of a crowd of 20,396 – a record for rugby in Canada – the hosts put the first points on the board with James Pritchard's penalty six minutes into the contest.
Ireland responded quickly, with Ian Madigan launching the move that ended with a try by Trimble and Madigan adding the conversion.
Pritchard converted two penalties, putting the hosts back in front and overtaking former Canada international Gareth Rees as the country's all-time leading scorer.
A try from McFadden put Ireland back in front at the break, and, after Tyler Ardron drove over to score a try for Canada early in the second half, things unraveled for Canada as Ireland scored 28 unanswered points.
"It got a little away from us there," said Canadian captain Aaron Carpenter.
"It was unlucky for us but I thought we were in there until the end."
Canada will now turn their attention back to the Pacific Nations Cup. In their first year in the tournament, Canada are unbeaten in three matches with wins over Fiji, Tonga and the United States.
They will finish their campaign in Japan on Wednesday.
They will face the United States again in August in a home-and-away series as part of the World Cup qualifier.
