I Am Not a Teflon Mom
In short,he looked really bad.
So we talk about how he feels and he tells me that his tummy really hurts.
And then he says "May I be excused?" and of course we say yes and he says "I have to go throw up."
Which he then does.
All night long.
It goes on until about 4am, and this is where I have to admit something.
OMG I lay there in terror, in between the vomit, hoping that he didn't sit up and puke all over me. Some moms get all barfed up and they must have Teflon skin - not me. I cannot STAND it. I mean - I'm THERE for him, wiping his mouth, giving him a drink to rinse and spit.....getting towels, giving hugs.
Oh GOD please don't puke on me.
He wanted to snuggle up and lay on me and that just kept me awake even more. I could hear every gurgle of his tummy, every moan in his sleep even better and I'm a ball of tension - don't barf on me please don't barf on me.
The next morning he bounces out of bed completely excited and off we went to school - he was feeling great and I chalked it up to something he ate. (Of course by then I'm not feeling go at all).
Of course the school called a few hours later. They had 150 kids have to go home due to vomiting and mine was one of them. The board of health showed up and they've closed the school because it's more than 10% of the school population.
All I know is - nobody barfed on me, and that is all good.
I leave you with a pic of the twins, on pajama day.

Fall Comes to Georgia
It's official. Fall is here. We marked the occasion by heading to the mountains to the Mecca of pumpkin acqusition - BURTS FARM.
We had to start with that most joyous of all fall traditions - THE HAYRIDE. Why oh why is this so much fun? Is it because we don't have HAY and wagons in our daily lives (well, we nonfarmer types don't). I mean, it's messy, everyone's allergies go nuts, there's a bumpity ride. But still. It's absolutely joyous fun - especially for the munchkins - you can absolutely see the joy.
And well you know, then we had to get some pumpkins!
First up - the FAMILY pumpkin. We opted NOT to get some hundred pound monstrosity this year.
And then the boys each got to pick one out.
You can see Miles is being an awfully big boy getting his own.
The littlest one kicked this white one - so we decided THAT one was his.
And then Mommy picked out a blue one and Daddy picked out an old fashioned one.
So as you can imagine - we've got some pumpkin carving to do! It's going to be a busy night one night VERY soon I tell you what.

The Boy Has Got To Go
You know you are there.
His brain doesn't do that for him.
Thus - he SEEKS sensation.
It can take easy paths like spinning objects and wringing his hands.........
or like we're going through now........
holding onto his poop.
See, that pain - it's sensation. He desperately craves sensation that you and I take for granted.
We calculate it's been at least three days - and he hasn't gone. We've put prunes and dried apricots in him three days on a row (lots of them) at the doctors advice. We took him to a new doctor to HELP us with him because we're a little overwhelmed.
Because see, he's at the point now that while he's still the master of his domain - it's causing him terrible physical pain. So he screams. Blood curdling shrieks, to be exact. Last night it was all night, and my exhausted husband sat up with him, holding him until sleep took over and then carrying his giant 45 pound body up the stairs to bed.
The boy has to go poop.
This morning I tried making the sweetest, creamiest coffee in the world and then iced it. He spit it out. The other two kids gobbled it up. One was already a coffee addict so put the eyebrows down. My mother started drinking coffee when she was like 4. They're fine.
This lack of poop is creating havoc and chaos family wide. Everyone's nerves are shot from the screaming and crying. You can't reason with him. You can't even BRIBE him - he doesn't understand "Mommy will buy you a puppy if you will poop!"
This morning he ate three more prunes and some dried apricots in addition to his breakfast.
Somethings gotta give.
Or it'll be Infinite Ease with the One Handed Squeeze I tell you what.

Popcorn Up The Nose - Redux
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Advanced Maternal Age Is A Valid Diagnosis
Sarah and I sort of have a philosophy about being high risk, it goes like this. "SWEET! MORE PICTURES"! I realize that sounds a little snarky, but - in my case anyway - it's like being high risk without being high risk at all.
What is boils down to, is that they have diagnosed me as being OLD.
Seriously. Are you fecking kidding me?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the red carpet treatment. I love knowing that my odds of having a Down Syndrome or Trisomy 18 baby are LOW LOW LOW after the testing was done, we have none of the genetic markers. Next we'll do neural tube defect testing so you know - MORE PICTURES! Plus I get to see the sex by then so that'll be fun.
I'm just not worried.
I saw that tiny human on the screen, with it's arms and legs stretching and rubbing it's head....and I can see that it's fine. Maybe it's because I didn't even start having kids until I was 34 that this just doesn't seem like such a huge deal to me. I was always "an older mother".
But I refuse to treat being pregnant like a disability. It's a gift, it's my hearts desire. And I will not see it otherwise, regardless of the testing and screenings that are required.

Unrepentantly Spoiling Him
Not this year.
For his actual birthday, we just had the small family affair - like we've normally been having the past few years. He made his own cake as is his wont, and as you can see he even did his own decorating this year. That was possibly the CRUNCHIEST red velvet cake you ever had, due to the amazing quantity of sprinkles on top.
We got him his heart's desire, a NERF GUN which he has asked for literally for the past two years. It's hilarious and huge and despite my VERY anti-gun opinions, I'm afraid it tickles me a bit. I don't know why. Can you tell he liked it?
He took it outside and shot up the worlds largest mushroom that was growing in our front yard. THAT will teach you, damned fungi!
You might think that this was a pretty nice birthday - but we wanted to do something special - something different - because this little boy is different, IS special in ways I cannot adequately share in words.
So we rented a train car at the Southeastern Railway Museum north of Atlanta.
And we invited his friends and classmates to come and share in our joy - which they did with great enthusiasm.
Why? Why a second party, that is pretty lavish and full of excitement for a little boy who already had a pretty darned good birthday? Why SPOIL him?
Because ladies of the jury, this child is not spoiled in his life. His entire life revolves around accommodations for two demanding special needs brothers. "Change the channel, that show is upsetting your brother - I don't CARE change it now!" "Just give him the toy, you can play with it later!" "Put that away, don't play with it now, it's pieces are too small - Lil Birdman will eat the pieces!" "Pick up the pieces of that broken toy so no one eats it - quick get them!" "Watch your brothers Mommy and Daddy will be in the kitchen."
He's their keeper, their warden, their guardian angel. He gives up and gives up and gives up. He shares bites of food and treats when they have eaten all of theirs and want more. He is patient with them, especially when they are unreasonable to the point of insanity.
So we played games, and had a really expensive fancy birthday cake complete with a dinosaur that lept from the cake and roared (ok that was REALLY cool) and we got to tour ALL of the trains in the museum......
And to end our day, we got to ride on a real train - all of the kids piling into the gondola on top of the caboose, to ride up on top looking out the windows at the freezing rain that was falling outside.
This child is some days like a small saint to me, despite his flawed human self - who is in fact only seven. As I watched the other children at the party I really understood how different he is, and how different his life is. He doesn't have the LUXURY of selfishness or even the opportunity to be ME centered the way the other children do. It makes me sad - but in a lot of ways it makes me proud. I think in the long run it will make him a better person.
Thus - once in a while, this child gets his hearts desire. Because this is right and just.

Popcorn and Down Syndrome Screening
Such as - why is my child making that noise with is nose?
And - why is he gingerly touching his nose making a snuffing sound?
When I tilt his head back......I see the problem.
He's stuffed popcorn kernels into his nostrils.
Both of them.
I try to dislodge them with my pinkie fingernail but quickly realize that this is pushing them further back. So I gingerly push from his cheeks toward the opening of his nose and VOILA - it rains popcorn kernels out his nose.
Ahhhhhhh.......the stuff they don't put in the books - eh?
Know what else they don't put in books? Well, they might put it in books, but like - they don't properly beat you over the head with it - is that they're gonna scare the bejesus out of you about down syndrome if you're an older mother.
We're going tomorrow to get the baby screened for down syndrome. It's a fancy ultrasound that looks for physical markers. If they see the physical markers they'll recomment amniocentesis.
85% of all Down Syndrome children are born to women under 35. My chance of having a Child with Down Syndrome is only 2% - which is 98% chance of it not being a problem at all then isn't it?
Yet I fret a little.
I suppose at this point all I can hope is that some day he or she grows up, and doesn't stick popcorn kernels up her nose.

The Pregnant Nightmares
I find that to be disturbingly true.
Some people apparently have dreams of killing, or being killed or axe murderers and stuff like that - of doing things that are unthinkable. They awake terrified that these might be things they will do, when in fact their hormones are just running wild during their REM sleep.
I also dream crazy, horrible nightmares - more and more lately.
Mine are always what I consider the Sophie's Choice/Kobayashi Maru variety. I'm always presented with the unwinnable situation - which could result in death for my children - and in it I spend my nightmare working out HOW I would thwart that.

Avon Has Magic Makeup
I mean, she's practically a LENO she has such an amazing chin. Yet - in page after page of the Avon Catalog ........she's a normal chinned human.
If AVON makeup can do this for Reese Witherspoon - imagine what it can do for mere mortals like me! YAY!

Pregnancy reduces your immune system's efficiency. This is how it keeps your body from destroying that little creature you are growing - which to your immune system is an intruder.
I've learned this the hard way over the last two weeks. H1N1, a UTI and now......ready for the icing and little candy baubles for the cake?
Sinus infection with PNEUMONIA!
My regular physician holds office hours on Saturdays - so I went down there yesterday after a crappy sick birthday and feeling even worse Saturday when I awoke.
He sent me straight to the hospital.
I also learned that we have two hospitals in this county and one ER is full of people who have been shot, and one plays genteel new age music while surrounding you with soft wood tones and pastels and each ER patients gets a private room with a door that closes.
Guess which one my doctor sent me to?
They dropped an IV on me and a sent respiratory who pronounced pneumonia and everybody came by to jam stuff in my IV of various ilk and I napped until the ultrasound lady showed up to check and monitor the baby.
My best story of my visit was that after they had me doped up and hooked up, they decided they wanted some pee. So the IV and I waddled down to the bathroom - and I do the WIPE of the va-jayjay and I've got the cup in my teeth......and.....I am sort of really sleepy and suddenly I realize I've peed.
In the toilet.
Not in the cup.
So I had to go back and tell my RN that I had FORGOTTEN to pee in the cup.
Which she thought was fairly funny.
They sent me home after several hours where I promptly went to bed, waking only for some dinner and then back to bed. My plan today is to lay on the sofa and watch football, and sleep.
Not necessarily in that order.
I leave you with a pic of the boy, executing a very stylish dart throw at the fair.

What was waiting for me at work
41 So Far Isn't Doing It For Me
Enough already.
Enough germs, virus and bacteria. My entire chest feels like it's full of snot. I'm drenched in sweat and I just came from the shower. I need to get up from this chair and drive toward work.
Oh god....how am I supposed to work with this much snot? Will they let me bring it into the building? I work in a fancy building,I'm sure this much snot is not allowed.
Did I mention the delightful butt explosion that I enjoyed right after my shower, courtesy of the UTI meds I'm taking? At least it cures the constipation from my prenatal vitamins - right?
I'm 41 today. This does not bode well for the rest of this decade.
Maybe Zoltar has some answers

Fair Food and Fun
But it's ok. You know there are the animals....
and heck even the Little Birth of Cool braved petting some of the critters.
This slide pic is one of my faves. The big boy was the student of the week, and got to bring home his class mascot.
So we took it to the fair - and he took it on rides and through fun houses and the like.
But you know as always, the good stuff is the fair food. I was a little disappointed at the lack of deep fried foods on sticks, frankly. Florida fairs have MUCH better selections!
My corn dog was nasty, and I think I'm going to swear off of them. The twins didn't seem to mind theirs - but we checked theirs and it seemed just fine. I got the funky one.
The best meat product we had was this delicious grilled chicken.
Mmmmm this is deep fried cheese cake with caramel sauce. But when is one dessert enough at the fair? NEVAH! So we also had deep fried Milky Ways.
And, I learned at the end of the night .......that my son is a Sith Lord. Who knew?

More Dick Moves For Jon Gosselin To Pull
- Half the dishes. (take cups not saucers, cuz that's funny)
- Half the sheets- top or bottom but not both
- Half the food - bring Tupperware to dump out the bit you are taking with you Jon
- Half the curtains - I say depending on if you are right or left handed, choose the curtains on that side and take those
- Half the books and half the records/tapes/CDs
- Half the Wagon Wheel Coffee Table (see when Harry Met Sally)
- Half the kids- just take the 4 that don't sass
See it goes on and on. Just split that shit up. Like King Solomon and the baby, divide it in two and to the victors go the spoils. That works really well right? RIGHT?
In all seriousness, these are like the two sorriest people I have ever had the media keep forcing down my throat. Can't Paris Hilton do a porno film or pose naked with a snake or something?

But ...
I remembered that together with all the Sonlight science books came two TOPS books, both about growing things. And so we've pulled out the "Green Thumbs: Radishes" book and started the 4 weeks long project.
|This is our master list of
what needs to be done when.
I love when it's all neatly arranged
and I don't need to think too much :-) .
|Preparing the base for the seeds to grow on.
|20 radish seeds are neatly placed
on a wet paper towel inside a previously cut opened milk carton box.
|Making tiny planters by wrapping aluminium foil
around a battery and taking it securely.
|Tiny planters are marked
and ready to be filled up with potting soil.
|Filling the planters with moist potting soil.
|Can you see the tiny seed?
|Planters are ready: 2A and 2B have two radish seeds each,
2C and 2D do not have seeds.
Now we have to wait and see what happens.
|After only one day the seeds are starting to sprout.
|We observed three different growth stages today.
|This is the graph showing how many sprouts
are at each stage of growth.
|Time to tick off today's work.

When 19.10.2012
Dr. Jenn Berman from VH1 reality counselling show 'Couple's Therapy' discusses Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison's controversial relationship as well as 'Real Housewives of New York City' stars Alex McCord and Simon Van Kempen with photographers as she is approached in the street and Beverly Hills.
Jenn is asked how she feels about Courtney marrying the 52-year-old 'The Green Mile' star aged just 16. 'I think it was a bad choice to allow her to marry at the age of 16, I think that is way too young to get married especially to a man that age', she admitted. 'That said, this is a legitimate couple who has marital issues that needed 'Couple's Therapy' and I was honoured to get to help them.' Jenn also mentioned that she disagrees with Wendy Williams' comment that Alex and Simon only went on Jenn's show for fame, and insists that their problems are very clear on the show.

Want to do more around the garden but find it a bit of a chore? Maybe you're a novice and unsure on where to start? Perhaps you've already got green fingers and want to take gardening to the next level?
Say hello to technology.
If you want to bridge the gap between earth and electronics, here are some gardening gadgets to help make nature a little bit more manageable.
1. Gadgets that help you plan
Gardening is always easier with a little bit of planning. Understanding how your plot and plants collaborate will not only help create a fertile garden, but one that's enjoyable to work in.
But where to begin? Well, like everything else these days, just download an app. With so many currently on the market, you'll easily find a gardening app to match your level of ambition. So whether you're simply after some advice and inspiration, an easier way to identify weeds and specific plants, or even guidance on how to grow your own vegetables, you'll soon have a wealth of knowledge available on your smartphone or tablet within minutes.
2. Gadgets that do the job for you
So, the overgrown lawn you've been putting off mowing for weeks now looks more like a jungle. Yet pushing a battery-assisted, petrol or electronic lawnmower around for hours isn't exactly appealing.
The solution? Buy a robotic mower.
Husqvarna has a great selection of products that mow the lawn for you, at any scheduled time and without the need for supervision. The built-in functions mean they can adjust according to changes in the weather, the growth speed of the lawn and whether the grass is higher in a specific area. It will even find its way back to the charging station once finished, making this gardening lark pretty effortless.
3. Gadgets that lend a helping hand
For some gardeners, it's the gentler jobs that hurt the most. Simple pruning tasks can leave hands stiff and painful, and can increase the risk of arthritis.
That's where multi-functional, rechargeable handheld tools come in handy. Bosch has a good range of cordless gadgets that perform well using less force, taking the pressure off as you add those finishing touches to your shrubs.
If your landscape trimming expands to cutting limbs off trees, don't put yourself at risk by balancing on a rickety old ladder. Cordless pole saws are basically miniature chain saws on an extendable pole, and are a great help with those hard-to-reach bits.
Of course, there's no need to be too ambitious. Only use these tools if you're confident in operating them and always leave the larger branches and unwanted trees to professional tree surgeons.
4. Gadgets that help monitor progress
It's good to let nature do its thing… but sometimes a little nudge can work wonders.
Mechanical watering systems and electrical pollinators can certainly help your garden grow, but it's being able to monitor progress that will help keep it healthy. wifi plant sensors and solar powered systems are designed to track the wellbeing of your favourite plants; observing soil moisture, temperature and light intensity before sending you notification updates with precise care advice.
If you're more into visuals, you could always keep a close eye on development with a time-lapse camera that blends in nicely with your garden's surroundings.
5. Gadgets to help keep pests away
It would be a shame for all that, ahem, hard work to be undone by vermin. But unfortunately, pests that consume vegetation are a common problem for gardeners who can't keep guard on a daily basis.
When it comes to dealing with the larger ones, there's no need to opt for chemical control. Try an electronic garden defence instead. Go online to order an electronic owl - a modern update to a scarecrow, which uses battery-powered movements and hooting sounds once sensors are triggered by nearby creatures. Some also come with a slightly disturbing 360-degree head turn.
Admittedly, these are an acquired taste. So if you're not quite convinced, perhaps the next step is to think bigger and a little further into the future.
The Garden Gnome Drone is a prototype that currently features sensors to detect intrusion. These trigger the drone to take-off from its charging station and complete a pre-planned flight path around the garden before returning, scaring off any unwanted animals that shouldn't be there. The model is not available to purchase yet so, in the meantime, the original consumer drone (to which the project is based on) should give you an idea of its fearsomeness.

De todos nós da Stewart Mountain Lodging estamos ansiosos para hospedar a sua estadia.
My husband and I splurged to have a few nights in the mountains before a conference in Salt Lake City. We do quite a bit of traveling and have stayed in some amazing places and this is one of our favorites of all time. Wyatt, who manages the property, was super cool. He hooked us up with maps and directions for a perfect hike up to Stewart Falls (which we could access by walking right out our front door). He also showed us how to access another spot (only available to renters) down the mountain next to a babbling brook with another tipi and amazing party area. He was very helpful. I am a graphic designer so I was gaga over the way this place is decorated - very graphic. I loved it. The hot tub rocked and is below the house so we felt protected. I got some great photos of the wild sunflowers growing all around the property. Beautiful.
We had a hilarious experience while at the cottage. We had bought a giant homemade chocolate chip cookie to have for later and set it on the bar counter in the kitchen next to the window. A few hours later I went to get the cookie and it was gone. We were supposed to share it so I was not too happy with my husband, but he denied taking it. Next thing you know we see a little squirrel skittering around the front porch. My husband made a funny comment about the critter taking it, but the cookie was bigger than he (or she) was! I go back into the kitchen and inspect the area and see a tiny little hole in the screen. Funny thing is, there's no ledge or anywhere to perch on the outside of the window. This little squirrel must have been hanging on with his little claws nibbling away at the screen to get that giant cookie. Meanwhile my husband shouts that he found the plastic wrap in the yard. I turn around and THERE's THE SQUIRREL! Inside the house staring me down in the kitchen demanding another cookie!!! Ha ha ha! I got a blurry pic before he ran off! We closed the window and he came peeking around a few more times then we didn't see him again. Gave a great laugh!
Ridgetop Cabin was everything we needed for the perfect mountain getaway! There is so much fun to be had in the surrounding wilderness, but it was hard to leave the incredibly cozy and relaxing cabin! Here is a quick rundown on our memorable stay. First things first, the listing was spot on. The photos accurately portrayed all aspects of the property and both dwellings (cabin and tipi), and the description made it completely clear what we could expect. Before our stay, we were personally engaged by the concierge with directions and assistance on anything else we might have needed before our arrival. We didn't take them up on many of these offers (activity bookings, grocery shopping, etc.) but were pleasantly surprised, and relieved to know they had everything covered in case we needed it. When we arrived, the cabin was spotless, fully stocked with everything we needed, and the hot tub was warm. We cooked all meals for ourselves in the fully-equipped kitchen and even used the grill one night! Though there was minimal cell service (trust me, you need it) Wyatt made himself available to our every need through email (there's free wifi that always worked perfectly) and he answered any miscellaneous questions we had about activities and outings. We fly fished and hiked in the surrounding area and it was so refreshing to know we had our cozy base camp to go back to. We just felt right at home. This isn't the biggest property in the area, but it's very homey and cozy inside and you'll feel so relaxed during every minute you spend at Ridgetop. I highly recommend this property and the entire Stewart Mountain Lodging group for any Sundance getaway.
We stayed in the Ridgetop Cabin and had a wonderful time! The cabin had everything we needed including a fabulous view!! This was the perfect combination of being secluded, but having access to all of the Sundance amenities (dining, skiing, snowshoeing, yoga, spa, etc.). In fact, our favorite day was the day we stayed in by the fire, read a book and had a drink in the hot tub. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation for our anniversary.
In addition, Wyatt with Stewart Mountain Lodging couldn't have been more helpful! He helped us plan the perfect trip and was always available to answer our questions. Looking forward to coming back next year!
I absolutely loved this property and will definitely stay again. The teepee is nothing less than charming and the main cabin has a wonderful use of space. The view is great and the peace and quiet was just what I needed to write. The property was immaculate with all of the needed amenities. Wyatt, the manager, was always available for any questions or help. His assistant even brought by a wonderful welcome gift on our first day! I will definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a charming and quiet getaway.
I have to admit it was the tipi that first caught my attention on this cabin even though I knew we wouldn't be able to enjoy it this stay. The cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. We needed a quiet and simple getaway. It was myself, my husband and 11 year old daughter wanting to experience winter.
The cabin has a great wood burning fireplace and the hot tub was positioned perfectly to enjoy the views of the mountains.
We skied, tried cross country for the first time and snowshoed until our legs couldn't take us a step further. The kitchen was small but very functional.
For a small family or a couple this was perfect. We brought games to play at night because we were told there was no TV. Our daughter did take advantage of the wifi and her ipad loaded with shows and apps.
Can't wait to come back for summer hikes, biking, fishing and most of all experiencing the tipi. Might even invite Sampson the family dog next time.
Thanks Stewart Mountain Lodging for all your expert guidance and recommendations.
We feel like we are part of the family now.
We will be back before you know it.

Taylor to Kallis, no run, a bit of outswing there, but it started wide enough for Kallis to let it go
Taylor to Kallis, no run, gets closer to Kallis this time, stays full, gets some shape, Kallis's pad comes in the way of the bat, but he is hit outside the line of off
Taylor to Kallis, no run, pulls the length back a little, Kallis looks to cut, gets the bottom edge towards Bravo at second slip
Taylor to Kallis, 1 run, this is full, shaping away, played down to third man, Kallis is off
Taylor to Smith, 1 run, back of a length, angling across, played with an open face towards point
Taylor to Kallis, no run, another full delivery, played towards cover, no slower deliveries from Taylor in the first over
Taylor to Kallis, no run, Kallis is looking to manufacture now, backs away and looks to go inside out, but Taylor bowls back of a length and follows him, hit to mid-off
Taylor to Kallis, FOUR, yorker gone wrong, nice fulltoss on the pads, flicked away, very fine, easy four runs
Taylor to Kallis, SIX, lovely shot, makes room and this time Taylor doesn't follow him, bowls the cutter but Kallis sees it well and lofts it over extra, sweet timing again
Taylor to Kallis, 1 run, doesn't move around this time, the ball angles into him, and he gets one to wide of mid-on
Taylor to Smith, 1 run, there it is, the first misfield, full delivery played towards short midwicket, where Dwayne Bravo doesn't get down properly and lets through one
Taylor to Kallis, FOUR, now we know why Taylor hasn't been bowling the slower bouncer, because the first one he tries is picked by Kallis who rocks back and pulls it emphatically into the vast open spaces on the on side
Taylor to de Villiers, FOUR, welcomes Taylor with a front-foot pull, the front leg is out of the way, and this is not even very short, just quick hands
Taylor to de Villiers, OUT, big wicket again, Gayle keeps his cool wearing those yellow-rimmed glasses, AB makes room and goes for the big hit down the ground, splices it to the orbit, Gayle at extra cover gets under it and holds on to it, finally those glasses are working
AB de Villiers c Gayle b Taylor 17 (15m 10b 2x4 0x6) SR: 170.00
Taylor to Morkel, FOUR, bowls a bouncer, but gives him width too, upper-cut easily, finds the gap too
Taylor to Morkel, no run, that's a better bouncer, from round the wicket, angling in, chasing his throat, Albie pulls his head out of the way
Taylor to Morkel, no run, short, cut away, straight to point
Taylor to Morkel, OUT, bowled him, yorker, base of off, lovely bowling, Albie looks to make room and play it behind square but is late on it. Will these wickets slow SA down?
JA Morkel b Taylor 10 (10m 8b 2x4 0x6) SR: 125.00
Taylor to van der Merwe, no run, full and straight, beats van der Merwe on the flick
Taylor to van der Merwe, OUT, another one goes down, VDM plays like only he can, his head falling away and slogging big, gets a top edge that goes nowhere but straight up into the sky, another dot ball too
RE van der Merwe c †Ramdin b Taylor 1 (1m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
Taylor to Boucher, 2 runs, yorker on the leg stump, pretty well played, turned away to square leg, gets two
Taylor to Boucher, 2 runs, good running, another yorker, dug out, goes slowly towards long-on and they scamper hard for two
Taylor to Boucher, no run, slower ball, just short of a length, Boucher looks to pull, but plays over it
Taylor to Boucher, no run, nice stuff, the orthodox bouncer, Boucher is beaten on the pull again, very nice comeback by Taylor

That brought an immediate denunciation from Lord Howe, s former Cabinet colleague was being 'recklessly irresponsible'.
He argued that the breakdown of the system added weight to calls for a European single currency; something that John Major has ruled out.
Lord Tebbit told BBC radio's World at One: 'The Government should say, 'We now realise that the critics of the Maastricht treaty have been right all along; that it is based upon a potential act of supreme folly, that of creating a single currency'.
'That concept is dead and should be interred, and should be buried, and we should jump on its grave at the conference which should be called now to establish a new treaty.'
Lord Tebbit said he did not expect the Prime Minister to do any of those things. 'That would be too much for him to take,' he said.
However, Lord Howe rejected Lord Tebbit's views, saying: 'I think it's very important not to be deluded by the kind of simplistic absolutism which has characterised his conduct of the debate in recent times.'
He said the greatest period of post- war stability had been achieved by the Bretton Woods agreement, under which a system of fixed but adjustable exchange rates had run from 1945 to 1971. The breakdown of that agreement was regularly cited by Margaret Thatcher as one of the reasons for keeping sterling out of the ERM until 1990.
However, Lord Howe said that the EC had been quite right to try to achieve a similar system, and to talk of 'dancing on the grave of the system is to be recklessly irresponsible, quite frankly'.
Having left the ERM last September, he added, no one was arguing that the British should rush back to the rescue. 'But for the system as a whole, I think that the objectives of a fixed but adjustable system are necessary for a single European market. It would probably be more and not less necessary in the end, I think, for a single currency because of the huge impact of currency movements across the exchanges.'
As for the mechanism's current problem, Lord Howe suggested that the Germans might temporarily withdraw, 'rather than everybody else being dragged down with it'.
The rejoicing was not confined to Lord Tebbit and other Maastricht opponents on the Tory benches of the Lords and Commons. Peter Shore, the former Labour Cabinet minister, said: 'Nothing could be more beneficial to the peoples of France, Spain, Denmark and the European Community than the break-up of the existing rigid ERM system and a fall in European interest and exchange rates . . .
'All those who consider that mass unemployment is the main threat to European stability and prosperity will rejoice if exchange and interest rates can be freed from the German- dominated ERM.'
Mr Shore, MP for Bethnal Green and Stepney, added: 'The break-up of the existing ERM would also expose the sheer nonsense of the Maastricht treaty and put a stop to its dangerous plan to establish an economic and monetary union.'
That view, shared by Lord Tebbit, underlined the political danger of the ERM collapse for the Prime Minister - with the opponents of Maastricht using the money market turmoil to reopen the dispute that Mr Major had thought resolved by last week's Commons vote of confidence.

Members of my lab work on the
ecology and evolution of plants and insects. We work on a variety of different topics, but share a general enthusiasm for understanding how the traits of these organisms influence their individual interactions, and how those interactions in turn influence patterns at the scales of populations and communities. We study such things as the evolution of plant defense and growth strategies, herbivore movement, density dependence and population dynamics, and how plant and herbivore communities are influenced by each other. Our main focus is on understanding basic natural processes, but we also all share an interest in how our research relates to conservation and the management of natural and agricultural systems.

In times where successful companies highly depend on attracting and binding young talents to survive the hard competition of being always on top ranking of innovative companies, it becomes more and more important to find useful and attractive ways to motivate workforce to educate on a regular basis. Gamification is one of the key methods to educate people using different intrinsic engagement elements. SAP has built an own Innovative Gamification Platform (IGP) with G-learning telling a story around SAP and its various global and diverse subsidiaries. Focusing on gamification elements, team-work, live progression and mixing online and live exercises, G-learning has become a frontrunner of attractive learning and networking methods at SAP.
Download the Whitepaper
Remember when game designer Jane McGonigal mentioned in her talks that she is aiming to have a game designer win a Nobel Award? Well, we are closer to that. This year's Nobel Award for Economics went to Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmström for their work on contract theory. What may sound pretty dull at first glance, is actually a pretty interesting piece on human behaviors and how it can be used to make better contracts.
Their work did not only explain how contracts are negotiated, but how the contracts become better. Contracts are an important piece in our modern life. Without them we would fall into a messy chaos. Hart and Holmström described how an ideal contract would look like and created a theoretical framework for that. But theory is one thing, real life another one. Especially when we have to consider human behavior in contracts and contract negotation.
And here it becomes interesting, because the laureates elaborated in their work on specific incentives that influence human behavior to make the contract outcome better for both sides. The Nobel Committee explicitely referred to car insurance contracts and deductibles, as well as work contracts with salaries and bonus payments.
Gamification is the concept of applying game elements to real life contexts like business or education, with the aim of creating behavioral change, enhancing motivation and performance of individuals. Even though there is a rising trend in popularity and an increase in deployment, many attempts however fail their objectives. The field is still missing theoretical foundations, valid research and best practices. It is dominated by misconceptions, poor design of practical approaches and controversial opinions amongst experts. Nevertheless, motivational theories like the self-determination theory or the concept of flow can serve as valuable foundations for understanding how game elements can influence human motivation. Taking them as a theoretical basis and thoughtfully considering their implications for the design of a gamified process can thus lead to higher success of applications.
In this thesis a gamification framework was built based upon the existing body of literature on gamification to more easily describe the processes in how a gamified experience is developed. We interviewed different international gamification companies that are currently working with gamification to test if the theoretically developed framework had practical relevance. The results from the empirical findings indicated that the framework had practical relevance and indeed represents the processes in how the companies work with gamification in real world scenarios. However, some of the companies do not utilize the different parts integrated in the framework the same way as they are described in the thesis.

Two men.
One night of passion.
They never expected to see each other again.
They were wrong.
Tobias Bennett is a quiet and unassuming man who teaches yoga and enjoys parkour. Though he is proud to be gay, an abusive relationship with a domineering man has left Tobias wary of romance, and he keeps to himself in his tidy Los Angeles apartment.
Pro football player Sullivan Archer is Tobias's complete opposite: loud, brash, fond of the spotlight… and deep in the closet. When a hamstring injury sends Van to Tobias as part of his therapy, neither of them is expecting to come face-to-face with his one-night stand. Now they're stuck together throughout Van's healing process, and the close proximity will force them to deal with some hard truths. For Tobias, it's realizing his hookup is a celebrity. For Van, it means accepting that he likes Tobias more than he wanted. They'll both have to acknowledge that if they choose to pursue a relationship, their lives will change in big ways.

Video footage shows moment of London attack
A VIDEO emerged of Westminster Bridge on Wednesday (March 22) showing the moment a car was driven into pedestrians earlier in the day in the worst attack in London since 2005.
Five people were killed and about 40 injured after a car ploughed into pedestrians and a suspected Islamist-inspired attacker stabbed a policeman close to Britain's parliament.
Patrons of The Middle Ground enjoy priority access to our best stories. To become a patron, click here.
The dead, in what police called a "marauding terrorist attack," included the assailant and the policeman he stabbed. The other three victims were among those hit by the car as it sped across Westminster Bridge before crashing into railings just outside parliament.
It was the deadliest attack in London since four British Islamists killed 52 commuters and themselves in suicide bombings on the city's transport system in July 2005, in London's worst peacetime attack.

The web hosting companies offer a portion of the disk space and bandwidth accessible to a customer for a monthly fee. Once the client is signed, they can upload files to their personal space on the Web server and the information will be visible to anyone who is interested on the Internet. The monthly fee for the web hosting company charges will be far less than what it would cost to run a server of your own home or data center. This is why these companies exist. They provide all hardware, software and other technical requirements for you.
Photo hosting is usually a web hosting service that allows individuals or even business firms planning to make a website, in order to upload pictures thereon. The web hosting services basically keep images System.Drawing.Bitmap server and possess different types of constraints to their consumers to allow his or her web website visitors view these types of images Visit Here .
Image hosting internet websites generally offer an upload software that is a form whereby you discuss the location associated with an image record on your computer method, using a Search button. When you press the particular Submit press button, the record gets published onto the particular server of this image coordinator. Many photo hosts in addition allow you to suggest several data files at the same time straight into this form, you can also even post one Diddly file that will consists of quite a few images. Apart from, a few photo hosts perhaps allow users to have FTP access, such that either single or multiple files can be uploaded in one session by using FTP software, or a browser compatible with the FTP. This process enables the users to sponsor their images on the hosting companies server, which means it then becomes available on web with regard to public seeing.
Some image hosts also allow users to create inline links to the images being hosted, to embed them on other websites. This may include connecting with HTML code and BBcode, and a clickable thumbnail which is linked to the full image. The hosts generally put restrictions on the maximum image size allowed, hard drive space or bandwidth allowed per user.

Dear Phoenician, did you know that autumn (the season between summer and winter) can also be called fall?
Did we just blow your mind? If so, all we gotta say is, le sigh.

We promise that succulents will be the only suck-oriented word being thrown around on the garden grounds during this shindig that also features answer-ready horticulturalists and a used book sale.

Struggling AstraZeneca today faced yet another blow when it had to dump a new arthritis treatment because clinical trials showed patients were hit with side-effects including the common cold.
Pulling development on fostamatinib, a rheumatoid arthritis pill, means a $140 million (£93 million) impairment charge. But analysts were more worried about Astra's floundering pipeline. The experimental medicine was one of the very few late-stage drugs in Astra's research labs, and Britain's second-biggest drugmaker had put it through clinical trials for two and a half years, on more than 2100 patients.
Fostamatinib, which Astra was working on with US biotech Rigel Pharmaceuticals, was seen as a potential competitor to drugs such as Abbott Laboratories' Humira, the world's best-selling prescription medicine, in an arthritis market worth $20 billion (£13 billion).
But Astra admitted patients taking part in the drug's trials had faced a cocktail of side-effects including hypertension, diarrhoea, nausea, headache and colds. Analysts said that meant more than six drug failures from Astra's pipeline in recent years. A string of AstraZeneca's big-selling drugs fell out of patent last year, leaving revenues down 17%. The US patents for its best-selling drugs, Nexium ulcer pills and cholesterol-buster Crestor, expire within three years.

"BJP is an ill (bimar) party and its thought is rotten (soch sadi hain)," said Nitish Kumar, targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party for creating a hue and cry after the Bihar Police gave a clean chit to state Minorities Welfare Minister Shahid Ali Khan over his alleged connection with two agents of the Indian Mujahideen or Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence.
Nitish Kumar said the BJP changes its colours when it comes across a Muslim face, whether it is a minister or a common Muslim. "BJP's communal mindset was reflected when it was reported that police gave a clean chit to Khan," he told mediapersons here.
Kumar: BJP changes its colours when it comes across a Muslim face
Nitish Kumar argued that BJP leaders, a few them in his cabinet till last year, must have known Khan well.
However, by demanding Khan's resignation and a probe by an agency from outside the state, the BJP leaders made it clear that for them a Muslim name made things different, Kumar said. "This issue again exposed BJP's anti-minorities face," he said.
Police on Friday night gave a clean chit to Khan.
"Police enquiry found it was not true. The minister has no connection with the two suspected IM or ISI agents," Additional Director General of Police Ravinder Kumar said after media reports started speculating on Khan's connection with terror suspects.

Val D'Oca is located in a beautiful setting amid rolling hills between Asolo and Conegliano at the foot of the Treviso pre-Alps. Established in 1952, the consortium currently groups together 600 growers and 614 hectares of vineyards - a major wine-making concern at both local and national level. Alongside the strong commitment made in the early part of the production line, Val D'Oca has implemented a technological update programme aimed at maintaining the quality of the harvest.
This involves investments in the vinification, foam forming and laboratory control sectors.
Val D'Oca annually harvests and processes about 800 tonnes of grapes from the 614 hectares of land belonging to its 600 Members. About 90% of this production is made up of white wines, with the Prosecco grape representing around 90%.
All company technology consequently focuses on processing this type of grape in order to obtain excellent bases for spumante or sparkling wines.
As soon as the grapes come in (normally starting in September), these undergo an inspection to ascertain their condition, levels of sugar and acids and establish quality parameters and standards. Afterwards, depending on quality levels, the grapes are conveyed to different production lines.

White House Says More Than 40K Illegal Immigrants Detained Over Last Three Months…
From Breitbart:
On Friday evening, the White House announced that there have been over 40,000 illegal immigrants–children and adults–detained at the border in the last three months alone. Claiming that the Obama administration has made "unprecedented investments" in border security, the White House pushed for amnesty and talked up various initiatives with Central American nations to deter migration.
They did not mention any specific programs in which the Obama administration has explicitly told migrants there is no "amnesty" on the other side of the border. For all the accomplishments the memo touts, Obama has still not gone to Central America or the U.S.-Mexico border to address the crisis.

Robert Powell: Good morning.
Vanek-Smith: Robert, yesterday it seemed like the Gaddafi regime was going to topple. Now, it seems like there's a litte bit more uncertainty. What does that mean for Libya's governmet and for Libya's economy?
Powell: There's a considerable level of doubt -- we are in the midst of a fog of war. And of course in terms of investment, in terms of business, in terms of that country's economy, we really cannot move forward until we have some certainty on the way ahead.
Vanek-Smith: Oil is obviously one of the big topics. Libya's very oil rich. In your opinion, is that going to make it easier for Libya to move forward or potentially more difficult?
Powell: It should make it a lot easier. It's also, if you keep in mind, they have about $100 billion plus of relatively easy-to-access foreign assets as well, which they can draw down while they get the old sector back on its feet. But it does at least give them an easy source of foreign exchange. It will bring in considerable sums into the fiscal coffers -- which means the government can spend money to rebuild the country and pay the civil servants.
Vanek-Smith: Are there any countries with toppled dictators that provide any lessons for Libya right now?
Powell: I guess a lot of eyes are on Iraq. It was seen as the next frontier, an it was making many oil executives salivate. Libya's not quite to that extent, but if you look at least in terms of time lines in terms of how long it took for production to return to its earlier levels. Iraq could potentially reveal some lessons. So if you look in the Iraqi case, the regime fell in 2003; it was not until 2008 that Iraqi oil production returned to its previous levels. And in the case of Libya, it will probably take a few years before oil is back up again to its pre-war levels.
Vanek-Smith: Robert Powell is senior economist with the Economist Intelligence Unit. Robert, thank you.
Powell: Thank you very much.
