(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Let me get this straight: Carrie Underwood can sing with the Rolling Stones. And then Rolling Stone magazine will review that performance. But she isn't on the cover of Rolling Stone yet? What's a girl gotta do to get on that legendary cover?
It's been eight years since her big American Idol win, so I'd bet that Underwood is more than ready. I mean, I'm sure singing 1974's "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)" with the band, like she did in Toronto on Saturday (May 25), was a bucket list kind of thing.
You could tell that from her post-show tweets: "I just sang with the @RollingStones!" And, "Holy cow! I walked off stage and said, "What just happened?!" Still can't believe it! :)" But still. Don't you think it's about time Underwood — as Dr. Hook sang in the song "Cover of the Rolling Stone" — got her smiling face on the cover of the Rolling Stone?

Intel 8088 Microprocessor
The 8088 was the processor that fueled the personal computer revolution beginning with the IBM PC introduced in 1981. Squeezing 29,000 transistors onto a sliver of silicon using 3.0 micron technology, the Intel 8088 central processing unit (CPU) was produced in two versions: one with a clock speed of 5 MHz capable of 0.33 MIPS (millions of instructions per second) and the other at 8 MHz and 0.75 MIPS. With a 16-bit internal register width, this microprocessor was able to address 1 megabyte of memory.

Intel's first venture in 16-bit computing, the 8086, was not related to the previous silicon electronic devices (4004, 8008, 8080). It featured a new instruction set and different hardware architecture. As a clear case of the semiconductor engineers getting ahead of other hardware and software designers, and because of difficulties connecting to peripherals, the 8086 processor was largely left abandoned. The 8088 was the answer, internally an 8086 with a more versatile 8-bit external bus and marketed at a lower price. The 8088 was Intel's first really successful CPU because it was adopted by IBM for their PC and XT models and by most XT-class clones. Originally produced with simple, but energy-hungry N-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) technology, the 8086 and 8088 chips were produced by Intel in the more up-to-date complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication techniques as the low-voltage 80c86 and 80c88, respectively for the newly arrived battery-powered notebook and sub-notebook computers.
During its fledgling years, Intel had to have other, more established semiconductor manufacturers produce its chips like the 8088 since computer manufacturers such as IBM did not want to bet their entire personal computer line on an unproven entity. Japanese semiconductor pioneer NEC also made the 8088. They later tired of simply licensing rights and designs from Intel and reverse-engineered the processor to create the NEC V20. The V20 was more efficient than the 8088 (increased clock speed), while maintaining complete compatibility and using the same command set as the 8088 processor.

Aspestos Removal Sydenham
Does your home have fibro sheets that contain asbestos? If it is over 25 years and has not been inspected by Aspestos Removal Sydenham then you are endangering the health of your family. Majority of the old homes were constructed using materials with Fibro sheets which can be dangerous when they get broken or are left in poor condition.
It is frightening to know that asbestos can be found not just in roof or external walls but they can also be in the walls of your laundry room and bathroom, garage roof, fences and your vinyl floor tiles. Experts claim that different forms of asbestos can be found in almost 30 percent of Sydney buildings.
Aspestos Removal in Sydenham
You can remain scared and put your family's health at risk for the rest of your life, or you can contact a Aspestos Removal company in Sydenham to inspect your home. It is important that you choose a licensed removal company to help you get a clear picture of the specific areas in your home that contain asbestos. The aspestos removal company in Sydenham will be in a better position to recommend a course of action considering the condition of your home, so that you can avoid a possible health risk.
There was a time when homeowners think of their eroded, unpainted and ill-conditioned home as an eye sore that should be repaired as soon as possible. However, the aspestos removal scare has confirmed that poorly-maintained homes are not only unpleasant to the eyes but are also unpleasant to health.
The Australian government has enacted the appropriate Occupational Health and Safety Regulation laws for aspestos removal. The legislation provides that possible aspestos hazards must be identified and controlled. There is also a provision that requires a licence for the removal of bonded asbestos material measuring over ten square metres.
Sydenham Aspestos removal
Asbestos have been used in construction and in manufacturing since the 19th century not only because it was affordable but because of its ability to resist chemical damage, heat and fire. However, it was only in 1991 when the government became concerned over its health risks and banned its use in Australian building.
Old buildings can have many parts that still contain asbestos fibres which are very fine and invisible to the eye, but can penetrate the lungs when they become airborne. If you leave in an old home or an old office that still contains the asbestos-filled fibro sheets, then you are at risk of getting asbestos mesothelioma, lung cancer or even gastrointestinal cancer. The sad thing is that the symptoms of asbestos exposure can appear after 20 or 40 years of exposure, and can progress even if the exposure has stopped. It is thus important to have your old structures inspected for possible asbestos content and contact Sydenham aspestos removal to have a look at it for you. This is a dangerous task so deal only with licensed contractors like All About Asbestos.

Call of Duty isn't exactly Skyrim, but it does include a sword. You can get it in a campaign mission (maybe more than one) to slice bad guys up.
The video above shows where we first found it. We captured this footage from "Old Wounds", the third level of the campaign. The sword is really easy to find but isn't a mandatory item. Grabbing it is one of a stunning amount of optional, tiny side quests that break off from the game's main campaign and encourage—get this—exploration. No, Black Ops II is not a normal Call of Duty!

to the University of Minnesota women's basketball team for reaching the final four. Since they played Duke tonight, I would have been pulling for the Golden Gophers even had I not read Rocket Man's Heart of a Champion post about the team (but was it the sexist in me that made me feel compassion for the Duke team at the end?). Having read about Janel McCarville and Lindsay Whalen made the game, and the victory, all the more enjoyable.
Since Duke is about as good a women's college team as there is, you have to think that Minnesota can play with anyone they meet in the final four.
HINDROCKET adds: The game was a thriller; the Gophers led all the way, but Duke, rated number one in the country, never gave up. Lindsay Whalen scored 27, and Janel McCarville added 20 points and 18 rebounds, showing again that there is no center in women's college basketball who can compare. Everyone played well; senior Kadidja Andersson scored 17, and defensive wizard Shannon Bolden scored 10 while hounding Duke's superstar, Alana Beard, who shot 4 for 14 and also finished with 10. It's on to New Orleans, and the Gophers are the team that no one wants to play. Lindsay Whalen, meanwhile, has achieved a level of sports celebrity in Minnesota that approaches Kirby Puckett, Harmon Killebrew and Kevin Garnett.
The photo below shows McCarville (#4) and Whalen (#13) in the game's waning moments:

Mises Daily Articles
The Victorian Bushfires
On February 7, 2009, and in the week that followed, bushfires ignited across Victoria, in Australia.[1] The fires raged through many towns, destroying at least 1,834 homes,[2] and killing at least 209 people,[3] more fatalities than any bushfire in Australian history.[4]
Let's compare: in the 1983 "Ash Wednesday" bushfires, seventy-five people died; in the 1939 "Black Friday" bushfires, seventy-one died; in all previous bushfires in Australia, back to data on bushfires in the 17th century, there were a total of 642 fatalities.[5] In short, Australia has just experienced what is far and away the most devastating bushfire in its history.
While the immediate causes of the various bushfires are thought to include arson, discarded cigarette butts, faulty power lines, or lightning strikes, these initial fires transformed into huge infernos and spread uncontrollably across Victoria only because of extremely high fuel loads throughout the state's bushland. The reason? For years, local governments have neglected to manage fire hazards on their land in order to be faithful to the principles of environmentalism — a philosophy that contends that nature has intrinsic value that must be preserved, regardless of any use it has to man.[6] The result has been that people have sacrificed their prosperity and even survival in an attempt to preserve the unspoiled sanctity of nature.
In the case of land management, environmentalists have invoked the alleged intrinsic value of nature to oppose the controlled burning of bushland, the clearing of vegetation and the prevention of excessive fire hazards in government-controlled land and adjacent private property. They have lobbied governments to prohibit the clearing of trees and shrubs and have been eternally hostile to all attempts to reduce the "bounty of nature" that has stoked the deadly fires that have spread across Victoria.
How Environmentalism Contributed to the Bushfires
Under the influence of the philosophy of environmentalism, as well as political pressure from environmentalist groups and an "environmentally conscious" electorate, local councils have refused for years to clear the vegetation that has now served as fuel for lethal infernos. The modus operandi of these bureaucrats and their ecosupporters has been to insist on "rigorous" environmental assessments, which in envirospeak means, assessments that continue until reasons have been found to prevent any interference with the natural state of public land. In addition to perpetually stalling any clearing of trees or vegetation, government councils have also prohibited people from clearing trees and vegetation from their own property, aggressively pursuing those who break environmental-protection laws that place the "welfare" of trees above the property rights and safety of people.
In 2002, Liam Sheahan, a resident of Reedy Creek in Victoria, was prosecuted for disregarding local laws and bulldozing approximately 250 trees on his own property to make a fire break next to his home.[7] Council laws prohibited Mr. Sheahan from clearing trees further than six meters away from his house, but he went ahead with his decision to create a 100 meter fire break. During the resulting prosecution, bushfire expert Dr. Kevin Tolhurst testified on Mr. Sheahan's behalf, telling the court that the clearing had reduced the fire risk to Mr. Sheahan's home from extreme to moderate. According to Mr. Sheahan, "The council stood up in court and made us to look like the worst, wanton environmental vandals on the earth. We've got thousands of trees on our property. We cleared about 247." Mr. Sheahan's prosecution cost him $100,000 in fines and legal fees, but when the bushfires swept through his town in February 2009, his actions were vindicated — his home was the only property left standing in a two-kilometer area, while neighboring properties were destroyed. His disregard for environmental laws saved his home and the lives of his family.
Warwick Spooner was not so lucky. His mother and brother were killed as the bushfires consumed their home in Strathewen in Victoria.[8] He was in no doubt as to why the tragedy had occurred, telling the Nillumbik council, "We've lost two people in my family because you [epithet] won't cut trees down.… We wanted trees cut down on the side of the road, … and you can't even cut the grass for God's sake."[9] He was not the only one to express such frustrations, with another resident complaining to the council that her repeated requests to reduce vegetation growth on public land had been ignored.
In 2003, bushfire experts Rod Incoll and David Packham argued against planning regulations proposed to the council by environmentalist groups. These regulations, which were passed by the council, included restrictions against the removal of vegetation "and worse still, the requirement for planting vegetation around and almost over houses, as part of any planning permit to build a house in the shire of Nillumbik, so it gave the appearance from the outside of being a forest."[10]
Two weeks before the bushfires, Mr. Packham alerted Victorian residents to the critical fire conditions in the Victorian bush, warning them that bushfires could destroy between 1,000 and 2,000 homes and kill 100 people.[11] This frightening prediction may have sounded alarmist until hundreds were burned to death weeks later. During the fires, Mr. Packham followed up his predictions with an explanation of the carnage. He explained that fuel levels in public land had been allowed to reach dangerous levels due to environmentalist hostility to vegetation removal and controlled burning.
It has been a difficult lesson for me to accept that despite the severe damage to our forests and even a fatal fire in our nation's capital [the Canberra bushfires in 2003], the political decision has been to do nothing that will change the extreme threat to which our forests and rural lands are exposed.… It is hard for me to see this perversion of public policy and to accept that the folk of the bush have lost their battle to live a safe life in a cared-for rural and forest environment, all because of the environmental fantasies of outraged extremists and latte conservationists.[12]
Mr. Packham later branded environmentalists as "eco-terrorists waging a jihad" against prescribed burning, explaining that "[t]he green movement is directly responsible for the severity of these fires through their opposition to prescribed burning."[13]
As these incidents make clear, the negligent and authoritarian actions of local councils have contributed substantially to the severity of the Victorian bushfires. But they are the predictable consequence of a political atmosphere saturated with environmentalist philosophy, environmentalist lobby groups, and an electorate that views the Greens party (Australia's third-largest political party) as a benign protest vote, ideal for showing their disaffection with the major political parties. Under such pressure, local councils are faithfully implementing the philosophy of environmentalism, which requires them to reduce humanity's "footprint" on nature, and tells them that the inherent value of nonconscious entities like trees and shrubs is more important than the desires of those rapacious human beings who plunder nature for their own selfish gain.
Response to The Bushfires by Government and Environmentalist Groups
Having failed to achieve damage control in the bushfires through proper land management, the response from government officials has been a predictable game of public-relations damage control. Councils have responded to fierce criticism of their aversion to land clearance and controlled burning with promises that they will reassess their planning and environmental policies. Such promises would sound more genuine if not for the fact that problems of insufficient fuel reduction and controlled burning on public land have been well known for decades. These problems having been highlighted extensively in previous bushfire inquiries, which are a recurring event in a country as prone to bushfires as Australia.[14] For Warwick Spooner, this latest promise of review was little comfort. He told Nillumbik Mayor Bo Bendtsen, "It's too late now mate. We've lost families, we've lost people."[15]
Any attempts to increase land clearing and controlled burning to prevent bushfire damage may also face greater constraints from federal environmental laws in the near future. The Department of Environment confirmed that they have received a public submission calling for controlled burning to be listed under federal law as a "key threatening process,"[16] defined as a process that "threatens, or may threaten, the survival, abundance or evolutionary development of a native species or ecological community."[17] Listing would require the minister to consider a threat-abatement plan for controlled burning, to find the most "feasible, effective and efficient way to abate the process."[18] Already listed as a key threatening process is land clearance, including "clearance of native vegetation for crops, improved, [sic] pasture, plantations, gardens, houses, mines, buildings and roads."[19]
Meanwhile, there is no sign of any self-examination by environmentalist groups. Rather than reconsider their cherished environmental-preservation laws, which have helped fuel the fires, environmentalists have taken the bushfires as an opportunity to selectively find evidence of human-induced global warming.[20]
Proponents of this theory have been eagerly pointing out that the bushfires occurred during a heat wave across southeast Australia that has caused record-high temperatures during the summer.
Referring to Australia's especially hot weather in the last twelve years, Climate Change Minister Penny Wong assured the public that "[a]ll of this is consistent with climate change, and all of this is consistent with what scientists told us would happen."[21] For obvious reasons, she did not comment on whether the simultaneous record low temperatures in other parts of the world — such as the United States,[22],[23] Canada,[24] England,[25] France, Italy, Germany,[26] and India[27] — are also "what scientists told us would happen."
Rather than simply removing coercive restrictions that have prevented private landowners from clearing trees on their own property, the government is set to respond to the bushfires by imposing new coercive restrictions. This time, private landowners will be prevented from having trees too close to their property.[28] Thus, having already seized sole power to remove trees and vegetation on private property (on the assumption that property owners are too evil or stupid to be trusted with these decisions) and having thereby forced Victorian residents into a disastrous inferno through their previous regulations, the government is convinced that it is the proper decision-making body to decide when property owners can plant trees.
While this kind of thinking demonstrates the government's boundless arrogance and insatiable desire for control, the danger posed to human life from public-land mismanagement runs much deeper than the specific environmental laws and policies currently in place, or even the laws to come. The root of the problem is the philosophy of environmentalism, which permeates all land-management decisions, guaranteeing hostility to any attempts to interfere with "the balance of nature." Despite having the legal power to undertake controlled burning on its land, the Yarra Ranges Shire in Victoria refused to do this for years before it was hit by the bushfires, instead calling for "rigorous" environmental assessments to determine the breeding seasons of local flora and fauna and the effect on endangered Leadbeater's possums.[29] So long as such considerations remain above concern for human life and liberty, there is little prospect of reducing the impact of natural disasters.
How Private Land Ownership Would Reduce Bushfire Risk
Because private ownership entails the right to control one's own property, and because some people may not wish to sacrifice their lives to prevent interference with local possums, environmentalists seek to achieve their goals through government ownership of land — land socialism. In this endeavor, they have been very successful. State forests, national parks, and other Crown land in Victoria make up approximately one third of the state but contributed four-fifths of the February 2009 bushfires.[30] And as with all examples of land socialism, the situation in Victoria has created an incentive structure that has destroyed accountability, thereby exacerbating the disaster.
As mere caretakers of public land, bureaucrats and local politicians are not liable for any loss caused by their mismanagement. Nor do they have any personal stake in its capital value. When property is destroyed due to their ineptitude and their enslavement to the philosophy of environmentalism, their savings are not in danger. If anyone is required to pay for compensation, it is taxpayers who have had nothing to do with the whole mess. For the local councilor or the state or federal politician, what matters is getting the green vote, showing how "environmentally conscious" they are, and placating all those green lobby groups and media darlings that might say nasty things about them if they don't toe the line.
Had the bushland areas in Victoria been private property, the owner of the land would be subject to a duty of care to his neighbors under tort laws and would be liable for any damage caused to his neighbors' properties by his own negligence. He certainly would not be able to claim as a defense the fact that his own environmental policies make it difficult for him clear vegetation or conduct controlled burning. And as a result, he would have a strong incentive to ensure that the land is properly managed, neither plundered of vegetation to the point that it loses its capital value, nor allowed to overgrow into a dangerous fire hazard.
Had these bushland areas been regarded as unowned land, ripe for homesteading, then adjacent property owners would have been able to clear fire breaks to their hearts' content, homesteading as much land as necessary for a safe buffer between themselves and the bushlands beyond.
Had the areas of private property adjacent to these bushlands been treated as genuine private property — unconstrained by coercive regulation — then adjacent property owners would have been able to clear trees and vegetation on their own land, and build facilities to cope with bushfires, without groveling for permission from their political masters. They would not have been inhibited by mountains of regulations and armies of bureaucrats who frustrated their attempts at safety. They certainly would not have been prohibited from clearing vegetation before the fire has burned them out and then prohibited from planting trees after the damage had already been done.
The danger of bushfires and other natural disasters is ever present, but it is not a danger that we must accept passively as an immutable act of nature. It is a danger that can be managed or exacerbated. And it is a danger that is currently exacerbated by the philosophy of environmentalism and the land socialism that is used to implement this philosophy. In describing the California bushfires in 2003, Lew Rockwell diagnoses the problem:
What went wrong? The problem is in the theory of environmentalism. Under it, ownership is the enemy. Nature is an end in itself. So it must be owned publicly, that is, by the state. The state, in its management of this land, must not do anything to it. There must not be controlled burning, brush clearing, clear cutting, or even tourism. We can admire it from afar, but the work of human hands must never intervene.
Then the brush begins to gather. It piles higher and higher. Old growth rots. Uncontrolled growing leads to crowding. When the weather gets hot the stuff combusts. Then the winds blow and the fires spread. It's been the same story for several decades now, ever since the loony theory that nature should be left alone took hold.[31]
So long as governments remain under the sway of environmentalist philosophy and arrogate massive tracts of land to their own inept control, no amount of legal tinkering will prevent the next bushfire. How many more will die then?

[14] Less than six years prior to the Victoria bushfires, the McLeod Inquiry, which investigated the 2003 bushfires in Canberra, Australia, found that management of fuel loads in public forests was lacking. This finding was echoed in the subsequent coroner's report on the fires in 2006, which found that the ACT government had failed to follow recommendations for a rigorous back-burning process, and this resulted in heavy fuel loads, which fueled the fires.

With the eight and final season of Game of Thrones coming to an end, there are great career lessons that we can pick from various prominent characters in the show throughout the series.
You may be a fresh graduate, a previous clerk, or someone who is currently employed in a different field who wants to explore an administrative career. If you're new to this line of work, a lot of questions may pop in your mind, like Will I get hired? or With so many applicants for the job, what's my edge? To have a better chance of success at an admin job in Malaysia, here are some pointers and instructions that will get you hired.
Will I get hired?
With so many applicants for the job, what's my edge?
By studying the company's background, its nature of business, job description and requirements, you are placing yourself a step ahead of other applicants. If you know someone from the firm, ask them about its vision, their culture, and goals so you can have a better understanding as to where the company is headed. If you don't, a quick search on the Internet will bring up news articles or materials on the company that will help you understand their goals and values better. Note down any particular words they use to describe the job and use that to your advantage in your resume.
Admin jobs in Malaysia depend on the nature and requirements of the company. Employers look for employees that are competent, committed and have a positive outlook. Familiarity with office procedures and equipment is also an advantage. But most importantly, you must possess great communication skills. To give you a basic idea of your responsibilities, here are some of the tasks that are involved.
1. Creating, maintaining and updating files and records both on books and computer.
2. Sorting, distributing incoming mails and sending outgoing mails, checking and sending emails.
3. Answering phone inquiries, getting necessary information and connecting calls to the right person or department.
4. Issuing receipts and other invoices.
5. Assisting officers and managers in preparation of their reports and paraphernalia.
6. Monitoring office supplies and stocks.
The best way to prepare an administrative resume is to quantify your skills. If the job description asks for a fast typer, test your typing speed and include it in your resume. If it asks for organisational skills, include your favourite methods for organisation and how it has benefited you or your previous employers.
Whenever possible, always have a solid reference on hand. Instead of just including the reference's contact information in your resume, attach an official letter (with company letterhead) from your referrer. This saves the hiring manager from having to call your referrers him or herself, and shows that you're a problem solver.
Practice and develop certain skills that are required as part of the working class. Clerical jobs in Malaysia require employees to be equipped with some basic skills to have an efficient and smooth business operation. Some of the most useful include:
1. Knowledge in computer applications such as MS Word, MS Excel and Powerpoint.
2. Knowledge in basic accounting procedures like bookkeeping and journaling.
3. Knowledge in business writing and memos.
4. Knowledge in operating office machines like printer, scanner, photo copier and fax machine.
5. Typing and stenography.
If there's one important phase in the recruitment process, it is the interview. During this process, dress up neatly and appropriately, make yourself comfortable, and be confident. Most importantly, be sincere with all your answers. For clerk jobs in Malaysia, a great attitude has been said to be the most desirable trait of all. Getting a job nowadays may be hard, but with these actionable tips and instructions, you will certainly land the administrative job of your dreams.

Anomaly Defenders Review
The Anomaly series made a name for itself by reversing the standard tower defence formula, and putting you in charge of the advancing force you usually find yourself repelling. However, for Anomaly Defenders, the final entry in the series, the studio has reversed its own genre reversal, ending its tower offence saga with a normal tower defence game. Has the move unlocked a new dimension to the sci-fi combat favourite, or is Anomaly Defenders one reversal too many? Pocket Gamer's Harr…Watch The Video Review
Bloodstroke Review
Doves, blood, and excessive violenge - director John Woo's fingerprints are all over Bloodstroke. But, while at first glance this new game from Chillingo seems to be relying on the famous director's name and a distinct visual style, it actually adds a lot of interesting twists of its own to the top-down shooter formula. Perhaps the most striking thing about Bloodstroke is its handsome watercolour visuals. This powerful art style uses strong black brush strokes on a white bac…Watch The Video Review
In Fear I Trust Review
In many ways, Black Wing Foundations' take on survival horror ticks all the right boxes. Spooky institutional setting: check. Freaky sanity and fear effects: check. But at some point during the process of freaking us out, In Fear I Trust shifts from unnerving to frustrating. Waking on a rickety bed in a Russian prison asylum, the hero of the tale has no memory of the events that lead him there. The door to his cell is locked, but everything he needs to escape is dotted around the room…Watch The Video Review
Feed Me Oil 2 Review
Holy Water Games's Feed Me Oil was a charming fluid dynamics puzzler that was conceptually simple but mechanically challenging. Now, the team has returned with Feed Me Oil 2, a title that manages to build on its predecessor with the simple addition of water. The goal in Feed Me Oil 2 is to transport oil from a nozzle to a creature's gaping maw. The black liquid spills from its spout with very little force however, so it is up to gravity, and a selection of well-placed tools,…Watch The Video Review
Icycle: On Thin Ice Review
As iOS gamers, we've been exposed to some weird scenarios over the years. Narky birds with porky vendettas; hungry green monsters which subsist entirely on dangling sugar lozenges – to us, these things are just another day in the App Store. Icycle: On Thin Ice is game about a naked man named Dennis, who finds himself riding a tricycle through ever-shifting landscapes. Originally we thought the game might be showing us a dream or nightmare scenario. Then Dennis gets hit by a fish…Watch The Video Review
Anomaly 2 Review
When Anomaly Warzone Earth rolled onto the App Store two years ago, it made a big impact. Not only did it popularise the now well-established tower offense genre, it proved you could port high-quality PC releases to the App Store without compromising too much functionality. Anomaly 2, the first true sequel after the Anomaly Korea expansion, brings back the futuristic sci-fi warfare that made the original game so popular, and adds just enough bells and whistles to warrant you giving th…Watch The Video Review
Mega Dead Pixel Review
So there's this happy little pixel falling through space. If it paints enough shapes or collects enough pixels, it will one day become the mega pixel, a wondrous being of liberation and. It's a fun existance while it last, but the ending of our story is always the same: the pixel crumbles back to its original form, and eventually is snuffed out of existence. A moment of silence, please. Mega Dead Pixel is an endless runner - or an endless faller, if you prefer. You move a descending p…Watch The Video Review
Fright Heights Review
Games which revolve around hotel management usually involve trying to fill up your holiday inn by attracting as many guests as possible. Chillingo's spooky scare-'em-up Fright Heights, on the other hand, is all about scaring guests away. It's essentially a block puzzler in which you arrange guests and ghosts throughout the hotel to clear out floors and empty the building. Each floor has a fear rating which must be hit in order wipe it from the screen. To cajole your guests into paroxi…Watch The Video Review
Steampunk Tower Review
Most tower defence games get their title from the numerous weapon towers which players must erect to protect themselves. In the case of Steampunk Tower, the developers have gone one step further, and put a bloody great tower in the middle of the screen to act as a support structure for your weapon towers. It's a bit like Inception, only with towers. Anyhow, this being a steampunk game, you must use a mixture of 1930s-era tech to fend off wave after wave of moisture-powered monstrositi…Watch The Video Review
Bombcats Special Edition Review
Chillingo has been experimenting with freemium games in recent months. One of these experiments was Bombcats, a game which combined the physics flinging fun of exploding kitties with a freemium gem system. We didn't get around to reviewing the original release, but with Bombcats Special Edition sidelining the gem currency and adding more content, we thought we'd take second look. So there are these trapped kittens. To free them, you chuck an exploding cat (because cats explode now) in…Watch The Video Review
Abyss Attack Review
Abyss Attack is an endless-runner in the garb of a shmup. Here are your instructions: shoot everything, play till you die, use the currency to upgrade your craft, and try to overcome the temptation to spend real money on upgrades. To control your underwater craft, you simply drag your finger around the screen. You fire automatically, while picking up packages will change your weapon. These packages usually contain equippable power-ups like blades and bombs. Each stage ends with…Watch The Video Review
The Impossible Line Review
The Impossible Line features a concept that we've seen before on iOS. The aim of the game is to draw a line from point to point, avoiding all the hazards in-between. The catch is that once you start drawing said line, the obstacles disappear, leaving you to rely on your memory. For this incarnation of the concept, a radar has been added, as well as a few power-ups. But as is the case with many free to play games these days, The Impossible Line is rendered almost impossible to enj…Watch The Video Review

Welcome to purgatory. Welcome to Gloomy Hollow.

Tiny Troopers 2: Special Ops Review
The first Tiny Troopers is a game we missed reviewing when it was released last year. Well now that the sequel is out, we can amend that error. Many comparisons have been made of this series to the early nineties action series Cannon Fodder, and that comparison is quite apt indeed. You take control of a number of tiny troopers (as the name would suggest) who move, fire, and duck out of the way of enemy projectiles as a cohesive unit. You have primary and secondary objectives to achieve…Watch The Video Review

More Moms Staying Home, Reversing Decadeslong Decline
After decades of decline, the share of mothers who stay home with their children has steadily risen over the last several years, a new report has found.
In 2012, 29% of all mothers with children under age 18 stayed at home, a figure that has steadily risen since 1999 when 23% of mothers were stay-at-home, the Pew Research Center reported Tuesday. The share of stay-at-home moms had been dropping since 1967, when about half of all moms stayed home.
Pew attributed the rise of stay-at-home mothers to a mix of demographic, economic and societal factors. The vast majority of married stay-at-home mothers, 85%, say they are doing so by choice in order to care for their families. That rate is much lower for single stay-at-home mothers, at 41%, and cohabitating mothers, at 64%.
The report also found a drop in women working because of the recession, a trend that has lingered as the economy recovers. Pew cited an increase in immigrant families, for whom it is more common to have a mother stay at home with her children, and an increase in the number of women who said they were disabled and unable to work.
A companion public opinion survey by Pew, from 2013, found that mothers are much more likely than fathers to have reduced work hours, take a significant amount of time off, quit a job or, by a small margin, turn down a promotion in order to care for a child or family member. Pew said 42% of mothers said they had reduced their work hours to care for a child or family member, versus 28% of fathers.
A second Pew survey, taken this year, found most in the general public think that children are better off with a parent at home: 60% said children are better off with a parent at home, versus 35% who said kids are just as well off when parents work.
The survey of 3,341 people was conducted in January and February. Groups most likely to say kids are better off with a parent at home include Hispanics, people with a high school degree or less and evangelical Christians, the report said.
The Pew analysis of trends for stay-at-home moms is based on an analysis of data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey. It defines stay-at-home mothers as those who say they are staying home in order to care for their children, as well as those who are not able to find work, are disabled or are enrolled in school.
"This has important implications for the day to day lives of children," said D'Vera Cohn, the report's author.
The share of stay-at-home mothers is now higher than it was during the recession in 2008, when it reached 26%. About 6% of moms say they are home because they can't find a job, up from just 1% in 2000.
The report didn't find lots more college-educated mothers dropping out of the workforce to spend time with their kids. In 2000, 20% of college-educated mothers were at home, compared to 2012 when it was 21%. Ms. Cohn said college-educated workers have done much better in the economy, helping to explain why they might stay in the workforce.
The report also looked at how stay-at-home versus working moms use their time. Those at home spend more time on housework (23 hours per week versus 14 for working mothers), child care (18 hours vs. 11), leisure (31 hours vs. 22) and sleep (63 hours vs. 58 for working mothers).

My days with my trusty old Blackberry Curve appear to be numbered. It (and an Alltel Curve that preceded the Verizon merger) have served me well the past two years. But two years is an eternity in the wireless phone marketplace, and the old girl just can't keep up with all the shiny new Androids and iPhones (and even Blackberries) sprouting like flowers these days.
I've been testing out two possible replacements this week: the Motorola Droid Pro and the new HTC Windows 7 Surround. The Droid Pro was designed specifically for people like me -- a business user who does a lot of typing and can't imagine life without a physical, thumb-able keypad. But for some reason, I find myself more drawn to the Windows 7 phone. I test-drove one from AT&T. It has a sleek design that feels really nice in your hand and a 3.8-inch screen whose colors and images seem especially sharp and bright. For all the hype in the WP-7 commercials about the faster access it allows to social networks and other goodies (and that's true), I was more struck by the fluidity of the touchscreen interface itself. I found myself flicking menus with my finger just to watch the words slide across the screen (ok, childish. I know). Much as I hate touchscreen typing, I could get used to it on this phone.
Which brings me to my main gripe with the Droid Pro. Maybe I've just got chunky fingers, but the keypad is too cramped for me, and the letters are too hard to press. Held up next to my Curve, the width difference between the two keypads is almost imperceptible. But my fat fingers say there's a difference. I also wish the screen could be a little bigger. All that aside, the Droid Pro seems like a worthy and logical next move for more slim-fingered Blackberry addicts. If Verizon gets both the iPhone and the Blackberry Torch next year, I'll have a tough time deciding which way to go.
Suggestions, anyone?

iPhone all the way, they have an APP for everything. Disney - Wait Times, Traveling - Check traffic, Rest Areas, Truck Stop Locator, etc.
iPhone just has a better app store giving one many more options and functionality of their phone. iPhone is simply more then a phone, it's the app store that dominates all others.

Stay away from the iPhone. Apple will eventually cripple the phone just like they have previous models with iOS updates. Just look at the effects on iOS3 and iOS4 on the iPhone 3G. They may do this to push the customers to the latest iPhone.

I have a Windows 7 Samsung Focus. It's a very nice phone and I'm very impressed with Microsoft's new mobile OS. Integreation with social networking is done very well, the app store is growing quickly, and the phones all perform very well. It's much different than the past versions of Windows mobile.
If you have AT&T and are thinking about Windows 7, go with the Samsung Focus. The phone is sleeker, lighter, and has a bigger/brighter screen.

The New World Order
In conspiracy theory, the term New World Order or NWO refers to the emergence of a totalitarian one-world government.
The common theme in conspiracy theories about a New World Order is that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government—which replaces sovereign nation-states—and an all-encompassing propaganda that ideologizes its establishment as the culmination of history's progress. Significant occurrences in politics and finance are speculated to be orchestrated by an unduly influential cabal operating through many front organizations. Numerous historical and current events are seen as steps in an on-going plot to achieve world domination through secret political gatherings and decision-making processes.
Prior to the early 1990s, New World Order conspiracism was limited to two American countercultures, primarily the militantly anti-government right, and secondarily fundamentalist Christians concerned with end-time emergence of the Antichrist. Skeptics, such as Michael Barkun and Chip Berlet, have observed that right-wing populist conspiracy theories about a New World Order have now not only been embraced by many seekers of stigmatized knowledge but have seeped into popular culture, thereby inaugurating an unrivaled period of people actively preparing for apocalyptic millenarian scenarios in the United States of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. These political scientists are concerned that this mass hysteria could have what they judge to be devastating effects on American political life, ranging from widespread political alienation to escalating lone-wolf terrorism.
So, there actually is a group hell bent on World Domination, and they are almost all bound by bloodline to carrying out this fate accompli. Their origins are to be found in the Skull & Bones fraternity at Yale University.

Introducing Sentara Healthcare to Southern Virginia
Feb. 1 marks another milestone in the Sentara Healthcare-Halifax Regional Health System partnership with the formal introduction of the Sentara Healthcare brand to the Southern Virginia community. Sentara is nationally recognized for its quality, innovation, advanced medical breakthroughs, expert physicians, customer satisfaction and patient safety.
Since the merger was finalized in July 2013, Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital has been busy with development and expansion of surgical services, including general surgery and orthopedics, adding a new MRI machine and approving the addition of another procedure room in the hospital's cardiac catheterization lab.
Near the end of 2014, Sentara Woodview and Sentara MeadowView Terrace senior care facilities each broke ground on expansions, adding 20 beds and 18 beds, respectively. Each facility will also add a new rehabilitation gym. The projects are expected to be complete in late 2015 or early 2016.
The primary care and specialty physician offices have also added new healthcare providers at various practices, and Sentara Halifax Pediatrics opened in December. Fifteen new providers were added in 2014, with eight more slated to begin during the first half of 2015.
"Embracing a brand is about embracing a culture," said Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital president Chris A. Lumsden. "The culture we've developed in Halifax over the past 60-plus years marries so well with the Sentara culture that it was only natural for us to move forward with implementing the Sentara brand. I believe our team is proud to see the Sentara brand in the communities we serve."
As part of this Sentara brand introduction, Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital and its related facilities, including primary and specialty care practices, long-term care, home health and hospice are adopting the naming structure associated with Sentara Healthcare.
"Becoming part of the Sentara brand family further positions Halifax as the regional leader in providing quality healthcare," said Lumsden. "We put a tremendous amount of thought into what our facilities' names will be and how they will fit with the Sentara naming structure. The people we serve can be confident that the quality care those names represent will grow and strengthen thanks to the additional resources and expertise Sentara offers us."
Examples of new names for facilities include:
- Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital
- Sentara Halifax Family Medicine
- Sentara Southern Virginia Orthopedics
- Sentara Woodview Sentara MeadowView Terrace
- Sentara Halifax Hospice and Palliative Care
- Sentara Halifax Home Health
Sentara branding is consistent, but acknowledges local identity and geography where appropriate and helpful for patients and residents.
"We are embarking on an exciting time for the health care services we provide in Southern Virginia," Lumsden said. "We've spent the past several months carefully developing our strategic plan for 2014-2017. With the wealth of knowledge and innovation Sentara can provide, I know we are poised to continue delivering the care people expect and the quality they deserve."

My favorite part of the story is when the three elephants get tangled up by their trunks. It reminds me of when kids get in trouble with their brothers and sisters. The pictures in this book are hilarious! The funniest part of the story is when the snake tried to help out and ended up tangled in all the elephant trunks.
I recommend this book to someone who likes to hear or read funny books about animals. It is a great books for kids of all ages, but mainly younger readers.

"There is more to this story than what they're saying," says Dianne Bishop, the mother of a high school football player accused of raping a classmate at an alcohol-fueled party in December.
"There is more to this story than what they're saying," says Dianne Bishop, the mother of a high school football player accused of raping a classmate at an alcohol-fueled party in December.
Bishop reached out to the "Dr. Phil" show in search of help for her son, and to tell a story few in the public have yet to hear.
James "Matt" Bishop, 17, dreamed of one day joining the military and becoming a law enforcement officer. Now, he faces a felony charge of second-degree rape, along with Tyler Scott Garren, 17, Justin "Wess" Ponder, 17, and Vincent Joseph Curto, 17. If convicted, the teens — who are being tried as adults — could face up to 4 years and 10 months in prison and a possible lingering sex offender status.
The victim, who was 16 at the time, told investigators that three of the young men raped her while she was in and out of consciousness on a couch at Garren's home. All four of the accused admitted to having sex with her, but said it was consensual, according to search warrants.
Dianne Bishop said her son is remorseful about the bad decisions that were made that night, but is adamant that none of those decisions included rape. She said her son told her the girl "was awake fully when Matthew and her were having sex, because she initiated the sex with Matthew," and that it wasn't their first time.
"She went over there to be with another person ... and the other boy made her mad," she said.
The boys had been drinking heavily that night, and Dianne Bishop claims the girl "made a conscious decision to start drinking" with them.
The girl told detectives she never consented to having sex with anyone and her clothes were on when she passed out. She told police her clothes were off, however, when she woke up to find one of the boys on top of her, according to warrants.
Dianne Bishop said no DNA evidence was ever found at the home to support the sexual assault.
But, according to a search warrant, the cellphones of all of the accused were seized in a search for photographs of the incident and the girl, which were taken without her permission, and "shown to several students" around school.
Text messages and photos believed to have once referenced the incident were deleted from phones before they were handed over to police, according to the warrant.
Thumbing through a file of discovery evidence, Dianne Bishop said no videos were found in any search, and only one photo was discovered.
"If this was my daughter, I'd be fighting 100 percent the other way. I would do whatever I could as a mother to make sure the boys were punished," but in this case, the girl's story has changed, Dianne Bishop said. "She said one thing to her sister, one thing to her stepmother, and then one thing to police."
Desperate to save her son, Dianne Bishop said she emailed the syndicated "Dr. Phil" show twice a day for weeks on end pleading for help.
"I was emailing him saying, 'Yes, I want to be on the show. Time is of the essence. We need something done immediately. Please help me. Please help me. Please help me,'" she said.
Two of the show's producers eventually picked up the story and called her. "Dr. Phil" is psychologist Phil McGraw, Ph.D., who launched his TV show focusing on psychological issues in 2002.
"We were not compensated by 'Dr. Phil' for any of Matt's legal defense," Dianne Bishop said, adding that they lost money when they rented a car and paid for meals when they were in Los Angeles for the taping. The Bishops were compensated for two days of lost wages incurred during the two-day filming in mid-August.
The nearly 14-and-a-half hours of pre-interviews and filming that Dianne Bishop said they went through will be edited to fit into two one-hour shows, set to air Thursday and Friday.
"I know in my heart of hearts that my son is innocent," Dianne Bishop said. "I don't know if I did the right thing by going to 'Dr. Phil.' I just needed someone to listen to me."
Staring down one of the hardest challenges of their lives, she said she tells her son that these dark days will pass and redemption is attainable.
"There's a lesson that we're going to learn from all of this," she said. It's been "a hard lesson... a very hard lesson... I wish we never had to go through it...
"He's lost everything. He has schools that won't even take him now," she said. "But he's going to be OK."

UCU appoints Joe Roff as CEO
UCU appoints Joe Roff as CEO
Amanda Jones
Joe Roff.
14 June 2012: The University of Canberra Union (UCU) has appointed former Wallabies and Brumbies player Joe Roff as its Chief Executive Officer.
The position has been created as a result of UCU's new strategic plan and direction, to invest in campus life at the University of Canberra. The first task of the revitalised union will be to look at new services that might be provided either directly or in partnership with leading community, sporting and cultural organisations.
Mr Roff said he was pleased to be appointed to the position.
"I am excited by the direction of the UCU and the opportunity to lead the organisation. I have been involved in sporting and community organisations in Canberra for the past 15 years, and I look forward to bringing the skills I have gained working in Canberra business and as a professional athlete to the UCU," he said.
Mr Roff is moving from Lifeline Australia, where he has held the position of Director of Workforce Development since 2010. Prior to that, he was a consultant with The Nous Group. Mr Roff spent 10 years playing professional rugby union in Australia, France and Japan before retiring at age 29.
He attended Marist College Canberra and has a Bachelor of Applied Finance from the University of Southern Queensland. He also has a Master of Arts in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University, and was involved in the Oxford Union, including the chess club, rowing and college activities.
UCU Chair Geoff Riordan congratulated Mr Roff on his appointment.
"Mr Roff brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role, and I look forward to working with him to create a vibrant campus experience for staff, students and the University community," Professor Riordan said.
Mr Roff will begin his new role at the UCU next month.

Mustang Suspension Kits 1964-2019
No matter what year Mustang you have, originally, it came with an adequate suspension from the factory that was perfect for daily driving. Today, that might not be the case, as your suspension has either worn out or just doesn't serve the purpose you have in mind for your Mustang. If that's describes your situation, you can upgrade with one of the Mustang Suspension Kits from CJ Pony Parts and get the perfect suspension performance and stance in no time.

Suspension KitsMustang suspension kits from CJ Pony Parts really serve several purposes. First, a new Mustang suspension kit is really helpful for owners whose whole Mustang suspension is worn out and needs replacing. These are Mustangs where the springs, Mustang shocks & struts, control arms and other components have all been on the road for decades or been through a lot of hard driving and all need to be replaced at once. For those owners, there are many Mustang suspension kits available from CJ Pony Parts which will allow them to completely rebuild their suspension from scratch and get their Mustang back on the road. These Mustang suspension kits are available from brands like Rod & Custom and Ridetech.
Other Mustang owners are looking for new Mustang suspension kits in order to upgrade their Mustangs for performance. The existing suspension might work just fine, but just isn't able to handle the performance situations that they anticipate in the future. Ford Racing is a big name for these types of Mustang suspension kits, which can give any Mustang owner the ultimate performance in virtually any driving situation.
Many Mustang owners also will install new Mustang suspension kits when they're trying to give their Mustang a perfect stance. It's the suspension that helps to dictate the Mustang's ride height, so with Mustang suspension kits from brands like Eibach, you can adjust the ride height while still maintaining a comfortable and safe ride, just with a killer new look. These Mustang suspension kits often don't require the full suspension to be replaced – just the Mustang springs and shocks – but can make a big difference in performance as well. No matter what Mustang suspension kit you're looking for, you can order from CJ Pony Parts today and give your suspension an overhaul that it so desperately needs!

Free radicals generated from UV light exposure contribute to cell damage, aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Antioxidants work to quelch free radicals and stop their harmful effects. Some antioxidants you may recognize include vitamins A, C, and E, selenium, beta carotene, and lycopene. There are literally thousands of compounds in plant-based foods that act as antioxidants, many of which we have yet to discover. These compounds provide the plant protection from excess UV light and when consumed by us as food, end up in our tissues providing a similar benefit.
A study published in the Sept 2007 issue of Molecular Biotechnology found that after about 3 months on a flavonoid and carotenoid-rich diet, volunteers showed a decrease in sun sensitivity. (Mol Biotechnol. 2007 Sep;37(1):26-30.) And in a 2003 study published in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that taking a dietary supplement of mixed carotenoids including beta carotene, lutein, and lycopene, can help protect the skin from damage caused by UV radiation. The study used 8 mg/day of each. Other research found a similar effect when combining vitamin C and vitamin E supplements.
A predominantly plant based diet with occasional fatty cold water fish intake is a great foundation to build your diet around. Cold water fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, anchovies, and sardines are rich in the anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats EPA and DHA. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and beans are naturally rich in antioxidant compounds. A few foods especially high in antioxidants include pomegranates, various berries such as blueberries and raspberries, green leafy vegetables, cherries, plums, even dark chocolate and tea. Generally the deeper the color of the produce, the greater the concentration will be of protective plant compounds.
Green and white teas are a rich source of the antioxidant EGCG. White tea contains the most as it is the least processed, followed by green, then black tea. Emerging research suggests that consumption and topical application of EGCG can help protect the skin from UV damage and skin cancer. One may need to drink 4-5 cups a day to reap the benefits from oral intake. You can also find it in topical beauty products that contain EGCG or green tea extract.
Although cocoa is not a popular summer beverage, this study shows how consuming more antioxidants can really protect skin. A study published in the June 2006 issue of the Journal of Nutrition found that women who consumed a concentrated cocoa beverage-rich in antioxidant flavanols, had a reduced amount of skin roughness and scaling after exposure to UV light compared to women who consumed a cocoa beverage with a minimal amount of flavanols. The higher amount of antioxidant flavanols in the concentrated beverage provided more UV protection. Now, instead of loading up on rich, sugary chocolates you could add natural unsweetened cocoa powder to your protein shakes or sprinkle it into your oatmeal for an antioxidant boost. Unsweetened cocoa powder is just that, nothing else.
Pro-Inflammatory Foods to Avoid Limit alcohol and excessive caffeine consumption as they can be dehydrating, especially if you are going to be out for long periods in extreme heat or humidity. Alcohol dehydrates the body and the skin and can deplete nutrients important to skin health.
Sugar, saturated fats, and trans fats are all pro-inflammatory and increase the rate of aging. Avoiding foods containing these age-accelerating ingredients is always a good idea. Also, avoid foods that you are sensitive or allergic to as they can contribute to increased inflammation in the body as well.
Certain medications can increase sun-sensitivity so talk with a pharmacist to see if you need to take extra precautions when in the sun.
Healthy Fats
Increasing the amount of certain fats in the diet can help reduce the amount of damage caused by UV sun exposure. EPA and DHA are omega 3 fats found in cold water fish. They are important to skin health in general and are a component of skin cell membranes. While they dont block UV rays, their potent anti-inflammatory properties do help protect the skin. Most research has examined the EPA omega 3 fat and has found that this fat increases the amount of time it takes to get a burn and may even help reduce the risk of skin cancer. Tests done by ConsumerLab.com on omega-3 fatty acid supplements showed that all but two were fresh and all contained their claimed amounts of EPA and DHA. None of the products were found to contain detectable levels of mercury. By comparison, mercury levels in fish generally range from 10 ppb to 1,000 ppb, depending on the fish. In addition, none of the products contained unsafe levels of PCBs. PCBs have been found in several fish including farm-raised salmon.
The American Heart Association recommends 1000 mg/day for those with existing heart disease, but other conditions may require more. Many safely take up to 3000 mg/day, but talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are already on medication that thins the blood before taking fish oil supplements
Do Get Some D
For most of the US, they have experienced a long, cold winter with little sun exposure. A little sunscreen-free sun exposure will help boost vitamin D levels. People with lighter skin tones need only spend about 10-15 minutes in the sun 2-3 times a week. Those with darker skin tones will require a little more time in the sun. Remember to still use sunscreen and take the proper precautions when in the sun for extended periods of time! Overexposure to the sun can lead to premature aging and skin cancer, but under-exposure and low vitamin D levels can lead to health problems too.

Mum Found Out She Was Pregnant Just THREE HOURS Before Birth
A British mum did not know she was pregnant until she was just 3 hours away from giving birth.
For Emma Prescott, her doctors and herself had thought she had been suffering kidney stones, a common side effect of the weightless surgery she has just three years previously.
She had been waiting for weeks for an x-ray before she was in so much pain one night and decided to rush to the hospital. When she got there ''She told me I didn't have kidney stones, and immediately my thoughts turned to cancer," says Emma, from Harrow in Middlesex.
"Then, I got the shock of my life. She told me I was in labour."
The 39-year-old was whisked off in a wheelchair before the news could even register. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl just three hours later.
Emma had always been desperate to start a family but was told the because she had polycystic ovaries syndrome; it meant she was unlikely ever to conceive, and she had given up on the dream.
When she was told that she didn't have Kidney stones and in fact was about to give birth, Emma said ''I burst into tears and told him I was having a baby. He thought I was joking, but when I continued weeping hysterically, the shock swept over his face."
But there was no time for either of them to take in the news, as Emma was put on gas and air when another contraction hit her body. She gave birth to a little girl just three hours later.
"Gemma weighed 6lb 1oz, and she was beautiful," smiles Emma. "I told her she was my little miracle, and as I looked up and saw Tony grinning at us, I knew we were going to be a happy little family – despite the suddenness of it all.
"We took photos of us with our surprise baby and sent them to friends and family. We had to laugh at their shocked reactions. I don't think anyone could have been as shocked as we were!"
As she didn't know she was pregnant, she had continued to drink alcohol, eating pate and soft cheeses but it had no influence on her child, as Gemma as given a clean bill of health.
