How can I decide where to go?Now you're pregnant, opt for comfort over adventure, a degree of civilisation and an acceptable standard of hygiene and medical care. Ideally aim for shortish flights and bear in mind that heading north or south rather than east to west will minimise jet lag.
Look for places where the temperature will be pleasant rather than baking, particularly as you may feel hotter than usual when you are pregnant.
Think about how many weeks pregnant you will be when you travel, and choose something you and your partner can enjoy together.
Is the US too far to go when I'm pregnant?The West coast is long haul from the UK so you'll have to cope with jet lag. The East coast is a more reasonable flight time of six to 10 hours, but choose your areas carefully.
Much of Florida and the theme parks are hot, humid and hard work with a lot of traffic and very busy beaches.
If you want a beach holiday, why not head over to the Bahamas, which is a short plane ride from Florida? There you'll find beautiful beaches and a laid-back vibe.
If you do fly to the West coast you'll find the water is warm and gentle, and the beaches long and sandy. There's a wide choice of good hotels, many with spas and golf courses. You can also rent houses or bungalows on the beach if all you want to do is chill out. Sit on the beach in the evening and watch the sun set into the sea, you may well spot dolphins and manatees.
The medical care is good in the US, with drop-in medical centres in most towns. Do check your travel insurance though, as medical treatment is not cheap in America.
There is a wide choice of good cheap food though, and it's not all burgers!
If you prefer a city or want to combine a few days at the beach with a city, think about Boston. It's not as frantic as New York, but has that same city buzz. It's great for shopping with shopping centres and markets in the city, and designer discount stores just outside.
There's plenty of history, good art galleries, parks to stroll in and nice cafes to people-watch from. You can even go whale watching out in the bay, if your pregnancy sickness has abated!
Where's good to go in Europe?The advantage of Europe is it's easily accessible by car, train or plane.
This Mediterranean island has had a boom in luxury hotels in recent years, many with spas. That means that prices are very competitive, especially in low season.
It's a reasonable four to five-hour flight. Parts of the island are famous for bars, clubbing and noisy beaches, but there are plenty of quieter, prettier places with charming old villages nestling in the hills.
Harbourside Paphos is bustling, but has fascinating ruins and mosaics to explore. Limassol is a large busy city on the south coast and particularly known for its many festivals. There are some lovely hotels in the nearby bays as well as many historic places to wander.
Or stay up in the Troodos mountains, the ski area of Cyprus. You may not be pulling on a your skis right now, but you can enjoy breathtaking views, lovely walks and beautiful churches.
The food is good with lots of fresh fish and salads. Oranges are grown on the island and the freshly squeezed juice is fantastic, and cheap.
The medical care system in Cyprus is broadly based on the UK system, most doctors speak English and pharmacies are available in most towns.
The Italian lakes are a romantic destination well worth a visit for the good hotels, pretty towns and villages and some stunning scenery.
It's an easy flight to the region too, taking around two-and-a-half hours from London. Ferries run around the lakes, which makes getting out and exploring lakeside towns easy. Do take one of the valley trains which pass through the mountains for some breathtaking views.
The food is generally good, and the air is wonderfully fresh, and you can sit and enjoy the sunshine without feeling too hot.
While away the days by the lakes with ferry rides, gentle walks and sitting on cafe verandas watching the beautiful people go by, after all, in Italy, fashion and looks are all.
Your bump makes you an honorary mamma, so expect indulgent smiles.
The health care system is known as one of the best in world and. And as Italy is part of the EU, you are covered by your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). If you don't already have one, ask at the post office for an application form before you go or visit www.ehic.org.uk. Allow a couple of weeks for it to arrive.
France is a fabulous place to visit, not just because it is so easy to get there. Take the train, fly or drive via the Channel Tunnel or ferry. You can be sitting in a cafe with a hot chocolate and a fresh pastry in a couple of hours.
There are plenty of stunning places to see, from the agricultural wide open spaces of Normandy and Brittany to alpine peaks. Or check out the impressive Atlantic coast, the volcanic region of the Auvergne and chic seaside resorts of the south-east coast.
Choose from the bustling shops, monuments, galleries and attractions of Paris or other historic cities such as laid-back Avignon in the south or Rouen in the north. There are plenty of pretty towns and wonderful hotels, guest houses and gites (holiday homes) to stay in throughout France. Everywhere is easily reached, thanks to the good road and rail network.
Whether you want to stroll markets, explore boutiques or watch the locals playing boules in the square, there's a relaxing feel to rural France.
Known throughout the world for its gastronomy, there is plenty of delicious fresh food to enjoy when you're pregnant. Although you'll have to steer clear of those soft, mould-ripened cheese such as brie, camembert and chevre.
It's reassuring to know that if you feel unwell while away medical care is considered excellent in France. There are doctor's surgeries even in very small towns and the pharmacies are typically well stocked, with expert English speaking advice available too.
What about a break in the UK?Don't forget staying at home! You may not be able to guarantee the weather, but there are lots of good hotels and restaurants in the UK and some luxurious cottages to rent.
Why not opt for a buzzing but compact city such as Bath, Brighton or York? Or you could take a seaside break and walk on some of the lovely beaches in Cornwall, Wales, Norfolk or Northumbria.
Choose a hotel with a spa and you can book yourself and your partner in for a facial, massage or other treat. Perhaps you fancy some low-key pampering during your pregnancy? Try one or two of the smaller, individually owned hotels for personal attentive service, beautiful gardens and home-cooked meals.
Time by the water can be wonderfully restorative. Head to The Norfolk Broads for gentle trips afloat or stay in one of the boutique hotels in the area and watch the boats drifting by. The joy of Norfolk lies in its diversity. There are the wetlands and wildlife of the Broads to wide open beaches, welcoming market towns and buzz of the city of Norwich. So it's easy to spend a relaxing week or so exploring.
While you may not fancy hiking up the hills of the peak district, most are accessible by car for spectacular views. And you'll be pleased to know there's typically a decent pub serving homemade food at the top!
Wales offers a strikingly different landscape with interesting market towns, the very cosmopolitan Cardiff and gorgeous beaches, if a rather chilly sea. Hire a cottage on the coast and wake to the sound of the Atlantic. Then spend the day pottering around pretty villages and then dine as you watch the sun set over the seascape, perfect!
And forget all you've heard about midges and dreadful weather in Scotland, once you've visited you'll be sold on its rugged charm. Stroll the streets of Edinburgh, Aberdeen or Glasgow. Or watch the crashing waves on the wildly picturesque west coast. Take a tour inland to discover a land of sweeping landscape, woollen mills and market towns, castles and national parks.

Diesel Fumes Do Contribute to Cancer
In 1988, the International Association for Cancer Research (IARC) classified diesel exhaust as a "probable carcinogen to humans." In 2012, it stopped hedging its bets and dropped the "probable."
A large study by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health found an increase in the risk of death from lung cancer among underground miners exposed to diesel fumes. The research also found a positive association with an increased risk of bladder cancer.
Diesel Exhaust
We use diesel to power trucks, buses, agricultural equipment, and backup generators. It's more versatile and less expensive than gasoline and other power sources. Diesel combustion produces thousands of gases and fine particles, and at higher concentrations than gasoline combustion. At least 40 of these particulates are toxic and include benzene, arsenic, formaldehyde, and nitrogen oxides, which are all cancer-causing suspects. These particles are less than one-fifth the thickness of human hair and small enough to penetrate deep into lung tissue. They may contribute to cell mutations that lead to cancer.
The Diesel Exhaust in Miners Study also evaluated the risk of death associated with diesel exhaust exposure and observed an increased risk for lung cancer death with increasing levels of exposure. The risk among the most heavily exposed workers was about three times greater than the risk for workers with low exposure.
Certain occupations, such as mining or operating diesel powered trucks or machinery, expose workers to high rates of diesel fuel. However, we are all exposed to some level of diesel exhaust, especially if we live or work in urban and industrial areas.
According to the NCI, more than a quarter million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2012 and more than 160,000 will die from it.
What Are We Doing?
The Mine Safety and Health Administration and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which oversees all other work environments, are establishing workplace standards to limit diesel exhaust exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing policies to reduce the public's exposure to diesel pollution.
State and local agencies are also establishing diesel exhaust guidelines. The California Air Resources Board, for example, implemented a Diesel Risk Reduction Plan, which includes requirements for cleaner burning diesel fuels, retrofitting older diesel engines with particle-trapping filters, and using alternative fuels such as natural gas, propane, and electricity.
If you want to limit your personal exposure to diesel exhaust, the EPA's website offers numerous tips to get you started.

About us
From infants to seniors, Aspire serves people with disabilities across their lifetimes. We offer a comprehensive array of support for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Our name – Aspire – best sums up our approach. We help our participants and their families to aspire to a world of possibilities.
Aspire is one of the largest human service nonprofits in west suburban Chicago. We assist more than 1,000 children, adults and families each year with services focused on achieving potential and independence. Aspire is recognized throughout Illinois for our dedicated team of 250 staff who provide personalized services at 22 locations in the western suburbs. We help infants and toddlers begin life with as many abilities as possible and encourage adults with developmental disabilities to participate as fully as possible in community life.
Aspire was recently featured on NBC's TODAY show by co-anchor Meredith Vieira as a "local nonprofit doing amazing things," and named Chicago's Charity after more than 150,000 people voted across the nation for the Classy Awards.
Aspire's mission is to support the successes of children and
adults with developmental disabilities, strengthen their
families and build embracing communities.
In 1960, ten families of children with developmental disabilities gathered in the basement of St. Domitilla Church in Hillside, Illinois, and started talking about their experiences and shared their challenges. These families knew that their children had untapped potential and could flourish if they only had the proper support. They identified the strong need for lifelong services that would help their children realize their unique potential and live as independently as possible. They knew firsthand that in order to achieve, their child needed to dream. These ten families founded what is now Aspire. Our thoughts are never far away from our founders, and their pioneering spirit lives on today.
Aspire has grown tremendously over the past 50 years. Today, Aspire is one of the largest charitable organizations for individuals with developmental disabilities in west suburban Chicago. Our innovative, person-centered services lead the field with a standard of quality and excellence. We provide services that are tailored to the needs of the individual, supporting each in realizing his or her individual aspirations. Our offerings include:
Aspire Children's Services helps infants and children with developmental disabilities reach their unique potential. Our therapists and professionals work together with families to lay a foundation for the future.
Residential Choices offer a comprehensive menu of housing options that enable adults to live as independently and productively as possible throughout their lives.
Life Skills Training and Employment Options help adults build skills which increase their ability to live independently and encourage people with disabilities to imagine their dream job and succeed.

Jamie spends some time with her friends at her usual hangout, with some humor and surprises along the way.
He, Mikey and I were sat around my usual table at the back of the shop.
'Pretty much,' I answered simply, quietly thinking that I had started to come a lot less since I had actually made some friends.
'Good coffee?' Mikey asked.
'Some of the best,' I replied.
'But like, what do you do here?' Frank wondered, looking around the deserted shop.
I shrugged. 'Write, think.'
'Oh, all that fun stuff,' He grinned.
'Just because you can't form a real thought or sentence doesn't mean other people can't,' Mikey teased.
I laughed as Frank proceeded to smack Mikey with the magazine.
It had been a month since that dreaded strip had turned pink, and already, my life and I were changing. First of all, I had to go to a doctor to make sure that the thing inside of me was doing alright. Secondly, for the first time in my life, I had a belly. What once had been a flat belly, was now a bump, and I was doing everything I could to hide it. All I could say was that I was lucky I owned a lot of baggy t-shirts. Today, Blink-182 was making an appearance on my chest.
'Have you seen them live before?' Frank asked, gesturing to my shirt.
I shook my head, disappointed. 'I haven't really been to any shows that weren't local. My mom wouldn't have it.'
Frank nodded sympathetically. 'Hey, I bet they have plenty more albums in them. They've only had Cheshire Cat and that other EP. And I heard they're recording something at the moment, actually.'
'Yeah. It's got the word ranch in the title. What is it, tennis ranch?'
'Ranch dressing?' I interjected.
'Dude Ranch, you morons.' Mikey rolled his eyes.
'Whatever,' Frank waved his hand dismissively. 'We should go see them next time they come to Jersey, anyway. You'll be eighteen by then, and your mom won't have a say in shit.'
I smiled hopefully at the thought of this. Frank always had a way of making me feel good. I wonder if he knew how much of a ray of sunshine he was.
My thoughts were interrupted by Gerard arriving in the shop and walking up to the counter. After ordering, he sauntered over to the table and pulled a chair over.
'And who said you could join us?' Frank said.
'Wasn't aware that I had to get permission from a hobbit to sit down.'
Frank scowled.
'No, but really,' Gerard continued. 'Does Tolkien know you've escaped from The Shire, or should I call him?'
'For some reason, I don't think Frank's escape would matter much to dear old John,' I replied smoothly. 'Seeing as he's, you know, dead.'
Gerard tore his eyes away from Frank to look at me. He looked amused. 'Well played.'
'Ha!' Frank yelled victoriously, as the usual old lady brought out four coffees and placed them on the table. Great, coffee I couldn't drink. Stupid caffeine. Stupid me, getting pregnant so I couldn't drink coffee.
'If you're going to annoy the shit out of me, I can always take back the coffee I bought you,' Gerard said to Frank, tongue in cheek.
'I'll be good,' Frank glowered at Gerard as he sipped his drink, and I looked on jealously.
'Hey Frodo, are you still having that party this weekend?' Mikey asked, smirking.
'Yeah, but it's been moved to your place cause your parents won't be home, and if you don't stop calling me hobbit names and acting like a fuck, you won't be invited,' Frank snapped.
'My house?' Mikey looked puzzled.
'Yeah, Frank's hiding the One Ring at his house so he doesn't want any guests with sticky fingers hanging around,' Gerard said.
'How could I not be invited to a party at my own house?' Mikey mused.
'Pippin's having a party?' I asked jokingly, tearing my eyes away from the coffee I couldn't drink.
'Nah, he's not Pippin, he's Merry,' Gerard interjected.
'He definitely doesn't seem very merry right now,' Mikey cackled as Frank poured some sugar on Gerard's head.
'Yeah, Frankie's having a party on Friday,' Gerard said finally, shaking sugar out of his hair. 'You should come, Jamie.'
'Didn't I invite you?' Frank asked, frowning.
'Yeah. And it's at our place now, so you should definitely come. You can stay over and stuff if you wanna avoid your mom as well, so it's a win-win,' Mikey smiled.
'Where will your parents be?' I asked curiously.
'Visiting grandma for the weekend,' Gerard replied. 'We'd go, but Mikey's gotta work Saturday afternoon.'
'Okay, I'll come. Mom probably won't even notice I'm gone.'
'Fuck her, who needs a mom past the breastfeeding stage anyway?' Frank winked at me. I laughed and turned back to eyeballing the coffee in front of me.
'If you're trying to have a staring match with the coffee, you know you're gonna lose, right?' Gerard had seemingly been watching me.
'Au contraire, G,' I replied. 'My poor coffee has no eyes, so I think I win based on his disqualification.'
'He's a dude? How can you tell?'
I shot Gerard a sarcastic look.
'Well, are you gonna drink it? 'Cause if you're not, I'm gonna drink it. Us art students don't like to waste our money, you know. We're working towards degrees that are pretty much guaranteed to leave us broke for the rest of our lives,' he joked.
'I'm uh, not really in the mood.' Couldn't I have thought of a better excuse?
Gerard shrugged and pulled my drink across to his side of the table.
'I'm sorry, is the world ending?' Mikey asked, his eyebrows raised. He mockingly took off his glasses and rubbed them clean with his jacket. 'Can I truly be seeing this? Jamie turning down coffee?'
'You better shut up, otherwise the next thing you'll be seeing is my fist in your face.'
'Ohoho!' Frank jeered.
As we walked home from the coffee shop that evening, I walked beside Gerard. His black leather jacket was almost brown, it was so stained and faded. His black hair showed how truly un-black his jacket was. I watched him suck in his cigarette, fascinated.
He noticed me staring at him. 'What?'
'Come on,' he grinned.
'I didn't ask you what you were thinking every time you stared at me in the coffee shop before I knew you,' I retorted.
'You stared at me too, so we were even then.'
'Oh, so now I owe you?'
'Nah, I just wanna know what you're thinking.'
'How about The English Patient winning Best Picture at the Oscars, huh? Well deserved.'
'Wow, you must really not want me to know what you're thinking.'
'Billy Crystal was a great host, too.'
'Why won't you tell me?' Gerard asked.
'There's a reason thoughts are in the head, and not out in the open. Let me have my privacy, okay? I don't have diary like other girls, so my head's where I keep my shit, respect that.'
Gerard simply smiled. 'Billy Crystal, huh?'
'Did you know he was in This is Spinal Tap?'
'No way, I don't remember that.'
'I'm serious.'
We watched as Mikey and Frank walked ahead of us, discussing a movie they had seen earlier that month, Lost Highway.
'Lynch is one weird motherfucker, that's all I can say,' Frank was saying animatedly.
'I still can't even decide whether I liked the movie or not. My brain cannot even process what happened in that movie. Am I dumb? I feel dumb.'
'Well, I didn't wanna say anything...'
'You love my brother, huh?' Gerard snapped me out of my reverie, as he spoke to me quietly.
'He's the first real friend I've had,' I answered honestly. I immediately realized what I'd said and was mortified, but Gerard just nodded.
'Yeah, me too,' he smiled.
We arrived at the front of my house, where the lights were off. I guessed mom wasn't drinking tonight.
I turned and said goodbye to Mikey and Frank, who said they'd see me later. As I turned to leave, I felt a fingertip lightly touch my shoulder. I slowly turned to see Gerard, his eyes wide as he realized he had actually reached out to touch me. This was the first time he'd actually seemed uncomfortable to me.
'I uh, was thinking,' he said awkwardly. 'That I wanted to know you.'
'What?' I asked, momentarily confused and dazed.
'Every time I was staring at you in the coffee shop. And I couldn't tell you because I knew I'd end up looking like a dick, or whatever, so I just drew you, which I never do, because I think it's creepy when people randomly sketch people they don't know. I just thought that if I had a picture of you, even if I'd never talked to you, I'd still be able to remember you. You were the first real thing I'd seen in this town, and I didn't wanna forget you. That's all.'
He looked up into my eyes and smiled slightly, then turned and left, as casually as if he hadn't said the nicest thing anyone had ever said to me in my entire life.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry for the huge gap between updates everyone, everything's been so hectic with uni and moving house and all this dead laptop business that kind of made me lose my motivation for a while, but I started holidays today and thought I would update.
Let me know if you guys are still around interested, and please let me know what you all think! Thanks for being so patient with me :)

The All Blacks have decimated the Wallabies, who couldn't improve on the gains made in last week's drawn Bledisloe opener. The men in gold had no answer to the All Blacks' superior attack up front - the New Zealanders' forwards were instrumental in getting flyers Savea and Jane quick, clean ball. They also out-enthused the Aussies who couldn't get into the match, thanks to a heap of missed tackles and schoolboy errors. All up a horror night for Ewen McKenzie's men.
79th min:
All Blacks strive for the half century as they camp inside the All Blacks' 22. Then Luatua finishes it off with a charging run at the line through acres of free space. Cruden adds the extras.
All Blacks 51 Wallabies 20
78th min:
The Wallabies have won 9 lineouts, the All Blacks 12.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 20
76th min
Folau broke free down the left wing but Barrett brought him down with a wonky kind of tackle that relied more on gravity and luck than technique.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 20
74th min:
Will Skelton coughs up the pill and the Auckland crowd of 48,211 goes wild.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 20
72nd min:
Amazing stat: the Wallabies have actually had more possession: 51% to 49%.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 20
69th min:
Hooper burrowed over from a scrum to score, lunging at the line with his free arm. That's the spirit. Beale converts.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 20
67th minute:
Fan favourite Will Skelton on for Fardy.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 13
64th min:
In a badly beaten team, James Slipper has been very, very solid.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 13
62nd min:
Consolation time. Phipps and Higginbotham combine well to send Folau over. Beale converts.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 13
58th min:
Another powerful pushover attempt, but this time Poite isn't sure so he send it upstairs. A deep Afrikaner voice in the ref's earpiece booms: "You may award the try." McCaw has another, and Cruden converts.
All Blacks 44 Wallabies 6
55th min:
Horrible error form Carter as he knocks on a regulation pass and the All Blacks break down the left flank.
All Blacks 37 Wallabies 6
51st min:
This is turning into a debacle. McCaw scores a pushover try as the Australian forwards are out-powered yet again. Cruden does the honours.
All Blacks 37 Wallabies 6
49th min:
As Savea broke down the left flank he kicked on the inside and Kieran Read was there to claim the five-pointer. Too easy really. The Wallabies' defence out wide is flimsy. Cruden adds the extras.
All Blacks 30 Wallabies 6
45th min:
Hooper comes up with a big play, nailing Savea, stealing the ball then milking a penalty. Inspirational stuff.
All Blacks 23 Wallabies 6
42nd min:
Wallabies win a lineout on the All Black 22 as Kepu almost breaches the line.
All Blacks 23 Wallabies 6
SMH's rugby reporter Georgina Robinson gives her thoughts on the huge challenge the Wallabies face...
"The Wallabies are huddled down on the 22 and the halftime singer are belting out a tragic aria. Actually it could be a belter from the King and I for all I know but such is the feeling after the All Blacks cranked into top gear and got down to business. What will Australia's response be? Let's hope they do something. The blow-outs were for last year. They must challenge."
The Wallabies have been dominated by a slick All Blacks side, who are attacking with precision and flair. Their forwards have paved the way with smart offloads, allowing Cruden, Savea et al to carve up out wide.
The Wallabies' defence hasn't been up to the challenge, with a glaring catalog of missed tackles. Ewen McKenzie will have his work cut out getting them back into this match, but it's not impossible, even though the All Blacks haven't lost at Eden Park having led at halftime since 1973.
All Blacks 23 Wallabies 6
39th minute:
Wallabies mount a last-ditch attack with a lot of pretty passing but not much territory gained.
All Blacks 23 Wallabies 6

All Blacks 23 Wallabies 6
36th min:
The Wallabies' attack has got a touch of the crabs: it's all side to side. And there's Ashley-Cooper spilling the ball just inside the All Blacks' half.
All Blacks 23 Wallabies 6
34th min:
The Wallabies have missed 11 tackles so far. Says it all.
All Blacks 23 Wallabies 6
31st min:
The Wallabies turned over the ball about 15m out and Cruden and Savea performed a 90m duet up the field with the No.11 finishing off without a hand being laid on him. Cruden adds the extras.
All Blacks 23 Wallabies 6
28th min:
The All Blacks tried for a pushover and the Wallabies collapsed in a heap - the ref had no hesitation in awarding a penalty try. Cruden converts from in front.
All Blacks 16 Wallabies 6
26th min:
Retallick crashes over the line with about 100 Wallabies clinging to him, but Poite gets in low and rules he's held up. Phew... that was close.
All Blacks 9 Wallabies 6
25th min:
The All Blacks are finding lots of holes on the edge of the ruck. Ominous signs for the men in gold.
All Blacks 9 Wallabies 6
23rd min:
McCaw is back on - and the Wallabies' advantage dissipates as Simmons is binned for a scrum infringement. "Dangerous play" apparently. That was harsh. From near the sideline, Cruden's penalty kick swings wide.
All Blacks 9 Wallabies 6
22nd min:
The All Blacks are starting to dominate with neat offloads from their forwards, which are creating holes in the Wallabies' defence.
All Blacks 9 Wallabies 6
19th min:
Carter penalised form the kickoff, and the All Blacks advance.
All Blacks 9 Wallabies 6
17th min:
Smith threw a dummy and had the Wallabies on the back foot. But they were too slow and couldn't get onside in time. Poite blew his lungs out and Cruden did the damage from 25m out.
All Blacks 9 Wallabies 6
14th min:
The Wallabies have 10 minutes to make their mark before McCaw returns.
All Blacks 6 Wallabies 6
13th minute:
Massive drama as McCaw is sin-binned for a ruck infringement. The crowd is stunned into silence. Beale steps up for a penalty kick on the 22 and does the job.
All Blacks 6 Wallabies 6
12th min:
Wallabies attack as Beale makes a mini break, finding Folau who is mashed into the green stuff.
All Blacks 6 Wallabies 3
10th min:
McCaw floors Slipper with a bone-jarring tackle. The NZ captain is really fired up this evening.
All Blacks 6 Wallabies 3
8th min:
Wallabies offside from a quick turnover and the ref blows his whistle. Cruden does the business from 30m out.
All Blacks 6 Wallabies 3
6th min:
Cruden pilots the ball between the sticks after a Wallaby infringement in the 22.
All Blacks 3 Wallabies 3
5th min:
McCaw takes a quick tap penalty and dives over but he wasn't on the mark. Big let-off for the Wallabies.
All Blacks 0 Wallabies 3
3rd min:
A big hit dislodges the ball from Palu's grasp and the All Blacks attack in the 22.
All Blacks 0 Wallabies 3
Penalty to the Wallabies from the kick-off as Richie McCaw infringes. Beale steps up to the plate and thumps it over from 35m.
All Black 0 Wallabies 3

Faux Sisal: Woven Vinyl Flooring For High Traffic Areas
We've been intrigued by the idea of wall to wall carpeting coming back into style in a chic, high design kind of a way and not in the brown rental way you might think of. The first example that really started selling us on the idea was Zoe Deschanel's LA pad with a light blue wall to wall. But what about in the kitchen or bathroom? We've all probably experienced the horror of a carpeted bathroom but what about a totally durable, stain resistant, very cleanable natural looking sisal?
A number of companies are creating vinyl weave carpeting that looks (and apparently feels) like a natural weave sisal and can stand up to humidity and heavy traffic while it adds something soft underfoot. And with the trend towards natural textures, wood grains and nubby linen, sisal is a great choice and perhaps cheaper than the classic hardwood floor maybe even in a place like a kitchen or a bathroom.
And if natural isn't your thing, you can also find vinyl weaves in bright colors, stripes, zig zags and metallic palettes.
Here are some resources for more info:

hmmm green?
Love that as a runner in a hardwood floor hallway. Very cool.
The sisal looks very cool, but having been in possession of toddlers during toilet training, there is no possible way you could pay me to put in carpet of any kind near a toilet.
I take that back, you could pay me, you could pay me in the weekly sisal replacements I'd need plus installation. Hey, maybe carpet wouldn't be so bad!
Great idea, but wouldn't a product like this off-gas terribly?
I rented a place once with an aweful teal-blue-green shag wall-to-wall carpeting throughout every inch of the house including the kitchen and bathroom. EVERY SINGLE INCH of the house.
that is all I can say.
I like the striped runner. I have a deck off the back of my apartment, that is only accessible via my bedroom, which has light carpeting, so I've been trying to find a way to not cringe when inviting guests to the back. Does anyone know which source the striped runner is from?
These look great, but probably still too far out of my price range--although my rental apartment DOES have ugly brown carpeting!
I like the look of the rug near the tub in the first pic, but carpeting near a toilet? no no no!
I have Chilewhich mats and carpet tiles. They totally work in wet places. The mat is in the bathroom and the tiles are in my boat! They wipe clean. it looks good and seems to wear well, but it is not a "carpet" feel under your feet though a bit firm.
Does anyone know where to purchase the chilewich plynl modular floor tiles? I live in NYC and have not found a source. Also, what's pricing like? I pray it's like Flor tiles, but I highly doubt it. I have Flor currently in the kitchen, and it's miserable.
It is interesting that dragonshine is using Bolon photography for it's own products. That alone makes it seem concerning that their products cannot be photographed....

A perfect primer and FAQ on baby-led solids.
Love this reassuring, funny, & ultimately tear-inspiring letter from a mother of older children to mothers of younger children.
One day, the children will eat neither pennies nor crayons nor great, gulping handfuls of sand like they have a powerful thirst for sand, sand, only sand. They will no longer choke on lint and disks of hot dog or fall down the stairs, their heads making the exact, sickening, hollow-melon thump that you knew they would make, when you knew they would fall down the stairs. They will still fall out of trees and off of trampolines. They will still scrape their elbows and knees and foreheads, and you will still be called upon to tend to these injuries. And you will be happy to, because they so rarely need you to kneel in front of them any more, to kiss them tenderly, here, and also here.
Connecting Quintillian's ancient thoughts on obedience with modern childrearing.
It's pretty clear that the belief that unruly children need to be disciplined into submission is still alive and kicking in contemporary parenting philosophies.
As Olive approaches 2 years old, and as I look back on two years of nursing her, and as I look forward to what is bound to be at least a little more time of continuing to nurse her, I am struck by how easy it has been to decide to keep going.
Before I had a kid, any breastfeeding I saw was unusual, and nursing toddlers seemed so big to me. But when it was my kid, he just looked like — my kid. Who needed nummies just like when he was a newborn, until he eventually didn't anymore. I do like for it to be gentle and nonjudgmental like that, where people know it's just a child seeking comfort and nutrition and a mother responding. I stopped feeling comfortable in public at some point, though, so I know there was a time when I decided it was best to keep it private, that I knew there were strangers (or not strangers) who would judge us. My second nursling is 20 months, and he just seems so much like a baby to me still — it's hard to imagine that nursing him is odd to anybody.

Signs of Sacroiliac Joint Infection in Children
A review of 15 children with sacroiliac (SI) joint infection shows that early imaging studies don't confirm the diagnosis. In the first week of symptoms, the physician must rely on clinical and laboratory findings.
Common early symptoms of this condition include fever and tenderness over the SI joint. Most of the children in this study also had a positive Patrick's or FABER test. This is a painful response to moving the hip into a position of flexion (F), abduction (AB), and external rotation (ER). Other symptoms can include hip, buttock, or abdominal pain.
Early diagnosis is important to prevent serious problems. The diagnosis can be delayed when physical findings are vague and imaging studies are negative. Lab tests for white blood count (WBC), sed rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are needed to identify infection as the cause of the symptoms. The type of infection (staph or strep) is also determined.
Although X-rays are often negative, MRIs and bone scans almost always show some changes after six days. Once identified as an infection, antibiotics are the first step in treatment. Caught early enough, recurrence of SI joint infection and the need for surgery can be avoided.

Cocktail Recipe: Pure Mexican Margarita
Recipes from The Kitchn
Joanne Weir, a San Francisco chef, tequila expert, and the subject of one
of our early kitchen tours, makes a margarita at her Bay Area restaurant Copita
that is known as one of the best in the region. She says — and I agree
whole-heartedly — that the biggest mistake people make with their margaritas
is that they use too many ingredients like Triple Sec, Grand Marnier, or Cointreau.
It's all about the balance of sweet and tart in a glass with just a few
ingredients: 100% agave tequila (Weir prefers blanco), freshly squeezed lime
juice and agave nectar.
This is as pure a margarita as you can make, with agave in the spotlight: tequila from agave and the sweetener from agave. Leave the Triple Sec and Cointreau behind, this may be your new house margarita recipe.
This week I made a batch of my (well, my tweak on Joanne's recipe) Pure Mexican Margaritas with key limes; they are a major pain to juice, but worth the effort for its uniquely tart flavor. Don't fret if you don't have key limes at your fingertips; the margarita made with regular limes will still make you swoon. Just make sure to use ripe, juicy fruit, and organic if possible. With a recipe this simple, there's no hiding behind sub-par ingredients.
Pure Mexican Margarita
2 ounces (1/4 cup) tequila
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) freshly squeezed lime juice
3/4 ounce (1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons) agave nectar or 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) Simple Syrup
3/4 ounce (1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons) cold water
1 slice lime (sliced crosswise into a wheel)
3 tablespoons kosher salt, optional
Shake the tequila, lime juice, agave nectar, and water vigorously with ice and strain into a chilled rocks glass or coupe filled with ice. Garnish with the wheel of lime.
Optional garnish: before filling the glass with ice, moisten the rim and dip it in a dish of kosher salt.

YES! Perfect! I don't like all the junk in my margaritas. This is more like it :)
I highly recommend using just Meyer lemons, a lovely twist on a classic. My sister and I also made some recently for friends using our Dads Meyer lemons mixed with Ranjupoor limes. I've never seen this lime variety in the markets, but as he has a tree, we use them often in different ways. I also added some Torani Pink grapefruit syrup instead of agave. They were fantastic! Mixing the citrus with the Torani really kicked up the citrus notes.The trick is to keep them simple, good blanco tequila, citrus and agave or simple syrup.
I've never used water just lots of ice. I've never seen a bartender use water either hmmmm
I'm with cym-I don't want the tartness and tequila watered down!
There's a lot of misinformation out there about what exactly constitutes a Margarita.
Rangpur limes are frequently used in Thai cooking, the leaves also for their fragrant lime flavor. They go great with coconut milk for curries.
I have a tree & will try them mixed with limes for margaritas.
Try this yummy idea...use above recipe but muddle 3 ripe blackberries in glass with fresh lime juice for Blackberry Lime Margarita. This was in Bon Apetite last spring & was our favorite summer libation.
The tequila soaked (we used Patron) blackberries were a special treat at end of drink.
This is how my boyfriend (bartender) makes them, only instead of cold water, he uses the juice from a quarter of an orange. Best margaritas ever!
We do the same thing except with a splash of soda water instead of the water. You can also use orange juice. They are the best margaritas I've had the pleasure of drinking, served up in salt-rimmed mason jars from my neighbor in the backyard.
I use orange juice instead of water as well. And if you're going to throw them in a blender, I toss 1/4 to 1/2 an orange per serving.
I've got to go withSterling Archer on this one.
A margarita has "Five ingredients. Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, ice, kosher salt."
Why mess with a perfect thing?
Try this one and get back to me!
Fresh, delicious limes make the drink, no doubt, and the simpler the better. But I'm with the folks who suggest a squeeze of fresh orange juice instead of water. I've also used simple syrup with a dash of orange bitters to emulate the Cointreau more subtly and it's delicious, too.
I started making Margaritas professionally 45 years ago and most folks do make the mistake of getting salt on the inside of the rim of the glass. If you run the lime wedge around the rim, then, holding the glass upside down, sprinkle the salt around the rim, you will have salt only on the outside of the rim. You see, when the cocktail sloshes even the smallest amount in the glass any salt inside the rim will disolve into the cocktail. That can really spoil the purity of the Margarita! (At least that's what my mixology mentor taught me). I've never had a Margarita returned as undrinkable, but I have been served a few that tasted as if they were made with ocean water!
Serve them on the rocks in a "rocks glass" or straight up in a "coupe".
Other than that, this is a very good recipe, very close to the one I was taught. Thanks for posting it!
why not try this with a mescal...my brother in law produces a awesome mescal Sombra...
As a bit of a margarita snob, this recipe intrigues me. I'll admit I've never had one without an orange liqueur of some sort. But I'll try any twist on a margarita at least once. When they're available, the Meyer lemon in my citrus of choice. It's tart, but slightly sweet, and allows for an awesome margarita without needing simple syrup. When they aren't in season, I'll grudgingly use lime. As for the addition of the water, that confuses me. Why isn't the water from the ice enough of a dilution. That I'm much more hesitant to try.
And I must rescind the use of a good mescal. It makes for an amazingly delishious margarita.
Yes, I was going to suggest using the juice of an orange, too!
I'm enjoying one right now, made as written. It tastes very fresh and pure. Nice one for my taco party next week!
This sounds like a nice cocktail, but to me, it's not a margarita. I had my first margarita in Puerto Vallarta in 1962 -- tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice in equal parts served over ice cubes in a salt-rimmed glass. Simple syrup and agave nectar make things too damn sweet IMNSHO.
Ooooh yum! My hubby is usually the margarita maker expert...but I think this post will help challenge his expertise, ha, ha! :-) Fresh, "real" margaritas are the only way to go!!!!
We just had blackberry margaritas with simple syrup and it was just. too. sweet. We're Cointreau fans over here, we do ice, lime, tequila and cointreau. Mostly to taste now, instead of a measured recipe. But I'm loving the idea of Meyer lemons (lemonade, anyone?) and fresh squeezed orange! Might have to try it out.
Margarita = Tequila, lime, triple sec. I assure you this is the recipe. ♥
Wow, this really does look perfect. Can't wait to try this recipe.
YUM I just made this but didn't have agave or simple syrup, so I used some preserved lemon syrup and it is yum.

Broward County detectives are investigating the death of an Oakland Park toddler who was taken to the hospital unresponsive early Thursday morning.
The Broward Sheriff's Office identified the 2-year-old boy as Amari Francis, who lived in the 2700 block of Northwest 44th Street. A BSO spokeswoman said Amari was taken to Florida Medical Center's emergency room after his mother found him unresponsive. Amari was pronounced dead there.
Florida Medical Center reported the child's death to DCF just before 1:30 a.m., BSO said.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Children & Families, Paige Patterson-Hughes, said in a short prepared statement that the agency also is investigating Amari's death. In Broward, BSO performs child abuse and neglect investigations under contract with DCF. Amari's family had been the subject of two prior reports to DCF's hotline, both allegations of inadequate supervision, and both in 2013, an incident report says.
Amari's body was sent to the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy, BSO said, adding "there were no obvious signs of trauma."
The ME's office is awaiting results of toxicology testing to determine a cause of death, BSO said.
Amari's parents had no other children, Patterson-Hughes said.
An incident report on Amari's death said that the boy's uncle put him to bed at around 8 p.m., and his mother returned home from work at 10:40 p.m. At around midnight, Amari's mother found him "unresponsive and not breathing." Amari's mother drove the toddler to the hospital while another uncle performed CPR en route, the report said.
Amari "arrived to the hospital unresponsive and still not breathing," the report said.
Crime scene detectives were at the lakefront, gated apartment complex in Oakland Park early Thursday morning looking into the boy's death. Neighbors in the Bridgewater Place Apartments, across from a golf course, were shocked when they heard the news.
"I had no idea. It's crazy to think because there are so many little kids here," Michael West told Miami Herald news partner CBS4.
Neighbor Mari Cruz told the station she felt for the family.
"I can only imagine what the mom is feeling, and I really feel terrible for her," she said.

I was a slave to pumping."The new mum does give credit to BF'ing for helping shed the baby weight HOWEVER she is not in a hurry to do it again.

How did you find the experience? Read more: Mother asked to stop breastfeeding at a public pool. Breast feeding doll: Would you get your child one?Molly Sims shares her breastfeeding tips
Hated it, hated it, hated it. I don't know if I body dismorphia, but I couldn't look at my breast. I breast feed my first child for 5 weeks, as soon as I stopped my PND got better. My second child for 8 weeks and my third for 2 weeks. With my third he cried non stop for the first two weeks of his life so by the end of the second week we took him to the hospital. They gave him a complete check over and said there seems to be nothing wrong with him so they gave him a bottle and he stopped crying. I was then prescribed medication to bring on more milk but I gave up. I have seen pictures of women with milk spurting from the breast. This never happened to me.
I cant breastfeed i just dont make enough milk, both my babies were on bottles before they left the hospital, i was still breastfeeding when we got out of hospital but id have to top them up with formula, im all for breatsfeeding and praise anyone who can do it, i wish i could have for longer!And after talking to a few other mums i have found out that im not the only one who couldnt breastfeed which made me feel better, i felt like i was useless pretty much.
I thought I was prepared, but no, I wasn't really. What I found difficult was the one hundred contradicting opinions and pieces of advice in those early days and weeks.
