No contractions

With my first son, I was had extreme water retention but it was a very happy pregnancy. He was due on August 20th, but my due date came and went. I received a letter from the Maternity Ward with an appointment for Sept 6th if there was no sign of the baby! I happened to mention this to my community midwife at a routine appointment and she was horrified. Before I knew it, I had an appointment for a membrane sweep. My sister was obsessed with my baby being born in September for the school cut off so at my appointment I expressed concern that the baby would be born at the very end of August so the midwife agreed to do the sweep the next day. Upon my return the sweep was done and the midwife was dubious of the results so I was booked in for induction on Sept 1st.

Lessons in Life and LimbA visit to the Cambodian Landmine Museum

His name is Hak and his story goes something like this: Born in a small village flanking the banks of the Tonle Sap Lake in northern Cambodia, Hak spent his earliest years living amongst the poverty and destitution that defines much of the region. His home was no more than a small shack composed of wooden beams that had begun to rot as a result of the ceaseless rain, his playground a bare patch of earth beside his home on which his toys a few balls that deflated too easily, a rusty bike-laying in the dirt. Yet Hak loved those balls, and that bike, despite the brakes that squeaked and squealed as he rode, and the wheels that left his legs caked with mud when he pedalled too fast. Hak loved that bike, despite everything, and perhaps above all else, because when he rode it he could feel the hot wind in his face, and the strength in his legs,

Hussey, the code no one can crack

IT IS not so long ago that Michael Hussey was cast as a reliable batsman lacking the special ability required to break out of his mould. At once he was a sound Shield player, an honest journeyman, a skilful operator, and all the other labels that meant he was never going to wear the colours of his country. It is not that observers were fools. The sentiments were universal. Seldom has a batsman so far surpassed his supposed possibilities. More than most, Hussey had to conquer himself before he could conquer the world. He took his time about it but it was worth the wait.

English cricket 'is one of Stanford's WAGs'

When, during the match between Middlesex and Trinidad & Tobago on Monday evening, the camera panned on to David Collier, the chief executive of the ECB, who was sitting on the balcony with Allen Stanford and accepting his hospitality, the picture was an uncertain one. Was that a smile or a grimace on his face? As he jiggled in his seat, with reggae blasting away in the background, was Dave busting his moves (yeah, man!) in a particularly frigid English way or was he wriggling with embarrassment? Because from what we have seen so far, the ECB has pawned the national team off for little more than a rich man's ego trip.

Esquire: With iPhone, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is making his final bid for immortality

"First, he is mortal. Second, the odds against him are not only actuarial -- the inevitable odds we all face -- they are clinical. Four years ago, he announced in a memo to his employees that he had undergone surgery, that the surgery was for the removal of a malignant tumor, that the tumor was on his pancreas, and that the surgery was, as he put it, successful. An exceptional man who specializes in exceptionalizing himself -- he has been an economic force for thirty years, and it's still hard to put him in a category, or even to say exactly what he does -- he responded to his disease by exceptionalizing it as well. He was at pains to say that the pancreatic cancer he had was not that kind of pancreatic cancer -- not the kind that kills you, without much room for exception, in six months or so -- but rather 'a very rare form of pancreatic

YM Blog-a-Thon: Best of the Worst

It was last Saturday, and I was wandering San Francisco’s sunset in a dream state. I was somewhere around 34th and Ulloa with two very good friends of mine, about an hour into our wandering, when we decided the beach was our destination. We hooked a right down Ulloa and started walking. It was 10:30 P.M., and we started talking about only the deepest, most inconsequential, and pointless things possible. We are, after all, youth. Around 47th we took a right, and then rounded the corner onto Taraval, where we encountered my boss and a small percentage of my co-workers gathered outside a bar. Without a second thought I was back around the corner running, my friends in close pursuit.

The eloquence of art and music - MS.COM By Yoly Villanueva-Ong

Once upon a time there was an art director who fell madly in love with a beautiful bank teller. But he was unsophisticated, devoid of social graces and had a face only his mother would love (or so he thought). On a scale of 1 to 10, he rated his chances of winning her at a 2.5. And that was only because he could at least draw! So every day, he would send her a sketch. Sometimes, it was funny cartoons, sometimes flowers that were his ladylove’s favorite, other times her portrait caught in various moods. For one year, he never missed a day, drawing his way to her heart. Today they’ve been married for 15 years. When they have a rare spat, he still sketches an apology.

Where Are the Images from Asteroid 2008 TC3?

One of the big news items last week was the prediction that an asteroid was on a collision course with Earth. Although it was a small space rock – estimates ranged from 1-5 meters (3-15 feet), scientists were excited because this was the first time an asteroid was discovered with an imminent known impact. Granted, we'd all probably feel a little safer if we knew about this asteroid, named 2008 TC3, days or months ahead of time instead of only 19 hours, but it’s a step in the right direction. Astronomers even predicted correctly the asteroid would come through the atmosphere over Africa. So with this prediction, many were hoping someone with a camera would be watching the skies of Sudan. But the flight path of the object was over a remote area and so far the only ground-based image that has surfaced is the one shown here, taken b

O.J. IS GOING TO THE PEN - FINALLY

O.J. Simpson has been convicted in Las Vegas for robbery and that's a shame. I'll admit: I thought O.J. was guilty of murdering his wife and her alleged coke-pal Ron Goldman. And if he didn't do it, I was certain he hired some other person or persons to do it. And yes, I was one of those black people who was outraged that so many black people celebrated when he was acquitted in 1995. I understood the legacy of black men being falsely accused and how that's trapped in some of ours collective racial memories, but I knew O.J. had a rep for being misogynist, abusive to women and that he rolled with some well-spoken gangster-types, so celebrating his 1995 acquittal was out of the question.

She was drunk: blogs; Kuwait DJ said to abuse on air

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 18: A number of bloggers on Kuwait blogs allege that a female DJ was recently drunk while on air on Super Station 99.7. Reportedly, there was a doctor on the program and the DJ was hitting on him, telling him he has good biceps. When another DJ told her she was embarrassing the radio station, she allegedly cussed on air and then they killed the broadcast. The report could not be independently confirmed. According to a blogger, the DJ was drunk on air and was slurring throughout the show. A listener suddenly called in at a time when the radio station personnel thought they were off air. The caller is said to have abused the DJ, telling her she was making a fool of herself and that she was a ‘drunk hoochie’ to which the DJ allegedly replied using the four-letter word several times.

Gilchrist has tarnished his own image: Atapattu

"ICC did the right thing by supporting Murali and it was their decision. There was no pressure from the Sri Lankan Board nor did they threaten to give racial colour to the episode," Atapattu Former Sri Lankan skipper Marvan Atapattu today hit back at Adam Gilchrist, saying the Australian's "chucker" remarks about Muttiah Muralitharan were just an attention seeking tactic."I think this is an absurd thing to say. ICC did the right thing by supporting Murali and it was their decision. There was no pressure from the Sri Lankan Board nor did they threaten to give racial colour to the episode," Atapattu told the media.Gilchrist, in his autobiography 'True Colours' said Muralitharan chucked the ball and alleged International Cricket Council protected him after Sri Lankan authorities interpreted questioning of his bowling action as a racial attac

Boy found dead, parents blamed Call of Duty and video game addiction

November 5th, 2008 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Written by Valay Brandon Crisp, a young boy, had been missing up until today when he was found dead. Brandon ran away from his home after his parents took away his Xbox 360. His parents took possession of the console after they decided Brandon had become addicted to Call of Duty 4. Initially, Brandon’s parents believed that the boy’s disappearance was somehow related to his addiction to video games. It was only after investigators analyzed Brandon’s Xbox 360 analyzed that the link between video games and his disappearance were no longer tied together.

Crash Bandicoot Mind Over Mutant PS2

In the latest Bandicoot adventure we see him up against his arch nemesis Neo Cortex, who's devised yet another fiendish, and dastardly devilish, evil scientist plan to take over the world. This time he's using basically a brain control device to turn the denizens of Wampu island into his unwitting pawns, and of course they fall for it through Neo's clever use of infomercials. So it's up to our friendly neighborhood bandicoot to come save the day once again, this time though he's got some special tricks up his sleeve, or should I say in his pockets. Crash has the ability to 'jack' monsters, or take control of them to do his bidding to help him fight Neo Cortex and his hordes of henchmen. When Crash doesn't need the monster he puts it in his pocket for later use, Crash and his monsters can be upgraded as well by collecting jewels, or Mojo.

Si lends Eoghan his jet to fly home

Simon Cowell is lending X Factor favourite Eoghan Quigg his private jet to fly home to Ireland so he can see his new baby sister tomorrow. The 16-year-old broke down in tears yesterday and was so upset he still hadn't seen his mum Denise or his new baby sis Chrissie-Mia.

Edgar Holloway: Artist best known for his etched portraits

Born in May 1914 in Mexborough, near Doncaster, the son of a Yorkshire miner-turned-pictureframer, he left school at 14 to travel the countryside in pursuit of subjects for watercolours and etchings. Within a year, he was etching and printing copper plates to sell through his father’s shop. His father went to extraordinary lengths to facilitate his success, procuring letters of introduction and moving his family to London. By the age of 20, Holloway had staged two critically acclaimed solo exhibitions in London; his sitters for portraits includedT. S. Eliot, Herbert Read and Stephen Spender, and his works were purchased by the British Museum, V&A and other leading collections.

No spinning this one, the toss was lost and so is Australia's menace

It was a day of dropped catches and missed opportunities for both sides. Twice, profligate Indians gave the Australians a chance to get back into the match. An aberrant hour before lunch cost the hosts three wickets. In the afternoon, India lost their way again as VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar lost focus. Laxman perished but Tendulkar, his concentration deteriorating, survived straightforward catches to long off and a run out as well. On each occasion Jason Krejza was the suffering bowler. It was a tough initiation.

It was supposed to be an easy three points and therefore goal difference was the key - and so is the plus three a good enough return from a game that was as easy as it had been forecast?

I'm not sure just what purpose the league games serve in the CL pre-Christmas stage. Is it to weed out all the teams that the European hierarchy deem 'weak', or should we say, 'not profitable enough', so the knockout stages can actually start filling grounds? Is it just a money generator in terms of the TV rights, and I guess by default, a way to ensure the safe passage of the 'big' teams? Whatever, it serves little purpose to ourselves who although we've gained three points and a plus three goal difference, have lost two players who are key to further success.

Architect Suffers Job Loss - Invents Successful Toy

recently suffered the loss of his job due to the economic downturn in the housing construction market. Sending out hundreds of resumes did not help his situation, so along with his job search he also spent the last of his savings to develop a construction toy for children. His wife and kids encouraged him to use his advanced 3D computer training and architectural software to develop the prototype models and metal molds. From that point forward, it was just a short step to full plastic production. The economy might be bad, but toys are just as popular as ever.

India's big guns silence England

The moment of this one-sided Indian romp came soon after Kevin Pietersen was dismissed with England still more than 200 short of an unattainable target. Run-outs can be infuriating, even more so when you've proceeded serenely to 63, but as Pietersen climbed the steps to the pavilion and made his way towards the English viewing area, he briefly reached out to ruffle Yuvraj Singh's hair. After having pulled a muscle in his back while flailing the bowlers for an unbeaten 138 from just 78 balls, Yuvraj was having a rest, but the little gesture meant a lot after the bad blood, malice and petty sniping that had soured the Australian tour. It was a reminder that, as seriously as we sometimes take it, it's only a game.

The iPhone Without Carriers

When the rumors first began oh so many eons ago that Apple was going to release a cell phone, I scoffed. In fact, I scoffed quite heartily. I dare say that my disdain for the very notion was so contemptuous, my behaviour so arragont that I would have fit in with the blackest Charles Dickens villain. I just couldn't believe that Apple, a company that prides itself on perfection, would willingly shackle itself to such a company as AT&T. I mention AT&T because that is who they ultimately chose, so please don't assume that I am painting the other wireless carriers in a better light. They all suck, just with a different degree of force. And yet I was wrong.
