Waitomo finds are nature from the past at its best
The living, or at least the once-were-living, have the power to be just as quirky as the manmade stuffLOUISE RISK
Relevant offers
The living, or at least the once-were-living, have the power to be just as quirky as the manmade stuff, or so it seems at the Waikato Caves Discovery Centre.
Ammonites and belemnites might sound like names a Hollywood celebrity would choose for their children, but these works of nature are far more enduring, and endearing.
A replica of a giant ammonite (the real deal is in Te Papa) stands snail-like in the entrance to the museum.
The centre's managing director, Celina Yapp, puts a couple of missing chunks from the model down to "human nature" and our desire to touch things.
Belemnites, fossils from a squid-like creature, could easily be mistaken for little finger-sized dark grey bullets.
Lindsay Hawke, the collections manager at the centre, says the ancient objects are easy enough to find washed up on the beach at Kawhia.
"Cave pearls" are another example of nature's incredible ability to create objects that look geometric enough to be mistaken for being manmade.
Like their oyster equivalent, cave pearls start with a grain of sand and then the calcification that occurs around them eventually creates pearl-like balls.
The calcification process that occurs in the mines around Waitomo also creates other impressive sculpture-like shapes, but Miss Yapp was quick to point out the importance of not touching or removing these artistic objects from caves.
On the subject of jewellery, a necklace estimated to have come from the "moa hunter culture period" takes pride of place in one of the cabinets.
Made from pierced oyster shells, the fibre that held the shells together has gone, but the necklace would not look out of place being worn today.
Miss Yapp and Ms Hawke debated the actual existence of a "moa hunter culture period" as an actual period, but neither doubted the appeal of the moa itself.
"Bertie" a large bush moa, stands proudly over two eggs.
"He's a beautiful beast," Miss Yapp says affectionately about the strong-legged skeleton.
Bertie is a composite – his front and back halves came from two separate birds – but the untrained eye would never tell.
An array of skeletons from a delicate little bat to kiwis and even a goose keep Bertie company.
"This is quite an extraordinary goose," Miss Yapp said.
"It's rather a big goose if you know anything about goose anatomy."
And an extinct snipe-rail – a Capellirallus karamu – looked like it would have been a funny little bird, all beak and legs if its skeleton was anything to go by.
The flightless snipe-rail was first discovered in the Karamu Cave, not far from Hamilton, in 1954.
As well as the myriad of skeletons, the Waikato Caves Discovery Centre had its share of taxidermied creatures too.
Rats and a possum are furry examples of the types of critters tourists could potentially encounter if they decide to go on one of the many caving adventures on offer at Waitomo.
Miss Yapp said she did not think anyone had been put off going on a trip after learning about their possible cave-companions.
"Not as far as I know, they haven't."
We move from the extinct to the arguably all too common, an empty tank display was all that remained of something in between, a "rare" longfin eel.
That a museum had a live eel in the first place is fascinating, but not nearly as fascinating as the eel himself.
Wally, of unknown age when he was captured, lived in the centre for 16 years.
Miss Yapp says for most of that time he was content to live on steak, and he did have the odd freshwater crayfish to keep him company during that time.
"Until he ate them."
But when Wally hit the mature "migratory" phase, porterhouse no longer satisfied his discerning palate, and he got a taste for worms.
Big fat juicy worms laboriously dug from Miss Yapp's own garden at the height of a drought about three or four years ago.
"He wasn't sure about them to begin with, but once he got a taste for them there was no stopping him," she says.
"My garden was well dug over by the end of it."
Wally would have eventually refused to eat and died had he not been released from his tank after the urge to migrate struck him, so after being trained to eat live pray, he was returned to the same creek he had been captured in years earlier.
The exact breeding ground of the New Zealand longfin eel seems to be something of a mystery, but is believed to be somewhere near Tonga.
After the huge journey, Miss Yapp, who admits to being a bit light on scientific eel migration details, says the chaps like Wally do their manly duty, and then presumably die, leaving their larvae offspring to float back across the ocean to New Zealand.
Miss Yapp and Ms Hawke are both clearly enamoured with Waitomo and its surrounds, and all that lives or had once lived in the area.
A thoughtful road-worker working near Otorohanga had been the instigator of their latest acquisition – some large pieces of rock with a fish and a whale vertebrae fossilised in them.
This latest find shows the centre is on to something by backing nature as being able to provide something more impressive than man could make.
Another example is what appears to be a full fish fossil, an impressively-sized fish, but which is actually only the head of a fish that once swam in Waikato water.

'I always wrote I Love You to Daniel Craig,' Sienna Miller tells phone hacking trial
Published: 31 January 2014
Updated: 16:32, 31 January 2014
Actress Sienna Miller today told the phone hacking trial that she always ended her messages to Daniel Craig with the words "I love you."
But she said this was not "some incredibly important declaration of love" and something she said to all her close friends and family.
The James Bond actor had been a close friend "for a long period of time," she said.
The Old Bailey has heard that her voicemail messages were intercepted in 2005 by News of the World reporter Dan Evans.
A message she left for Craig stating that she could not talk because she was with her then partner Jude Law in the Groucho club and finishing with the words "I love you" led to a NoW front page story that the two were having an affair.
Speaking by videolink from New Orleans Miss Miller said that it was "likely and not impossible" that she had left the message.
"I was in constant communication with him during that period of my life as he was one of my closest friends," she said.
"But the thing that has been slightly misconstrued about this voicemail message is that the fact I said: 'I love you' and that it is some incredibly important declaration of love.
"Since becoming friends I have always ended my messages with 'I love you' and that's the same for my close friends and family. It's how I ended my phone calls with him."
Miss Miller said that she was a frequent visitor at the Groucho and, although her actual membership was "a bit of a hazy area" she was always treated as a member there.
She also confirmed that it was "feasible" she had left a voicemail message for interior designer Kelly Hoppen in July 2005.
At that time Miss Hoppen was the actress's "step mother from my age of five to 18", the court heard.
It was Evans's hacking of Miss Hoppen's phone which led to the reporter being pinpointed as a phone hacker, the court has heard.
Miss Miller told the jury that she did not find it easy to remember voicemail messages from 2005.
"It's very difficult to recall nine years ago. It was a very confusing time of my life," she said.
The court has heard that Andy Coulson, who was editor of the NoW in 2005, claims that the phone hacking did not lead to the front page story alleging the affair between Miss Miller and Craig.
Through his barrister Timothy Langdale QC he says that the paper had a number of other sources including a close member of Henry V actor Jude Law.
Coulson has denied all knowledge of phone hacking being carried out at the paper.
He, and six other defendants in the trial, have pleaded not guilty to all the charges they face.
The case continues.

Weekend Preview: No. 10 Gonzaga on upset watch?
Jan 4, 2013, 10:00 AM EST
Who's getting upset?: Sat. 8:00 p.m.: No. 10 Gonzaga at Santa Clara (ROOT)
Generally speaking, when a ranked team goes on the road in league play, they are just about always going to find a way to get picked to be upset. That's just the way it works in college hoops. It's not easy to win on the road, especially when you're coming into the game with a target on your back. And that much is very true for Gonzaga, as they've been picked off by one of the WCC's middle-of-the-pack teams on the road each of the last three seasons. Last year, it was San Francisco. The year before that, it was Santa Clara and San Francisco. In 2010, the Dons got them again.
And this Santa Clara team happens to matchup with the Zags very well. Most importantly, they have the kind of size up front to matchup with Mark Few's sterling front line, starting with Marc Trasolini. But where things are going to get very interesting will be in SCU's back court. Kevin Foster is one of the nation's best scorers while Evan Roquemore is one of the WCC's best kept secrets. Those two can matchup with any back court in the conference — they may be the league's best back court — and it's no secret that Gonzaga can struggle defensively against talented guards.
Gonzaga is as good as they have ever been under Few, so the Broncos are going to have to catch some breaks to pull this upset. Kelly Olynyk cannot take over the way he has in the second half of games this season, and someone is going to have to find a way to permanently keep a hand in Kevin Pangos' face. But don't be surprised to see SCU give Gonzaga a fight on Saturday night.
Who else is on upset alert?
Sat. 2:00 p.m.: No. 15 Georgetown at Marquette (ESPN3): I almost hesitated leaving this game off of the upset alert list despite the fact that it is another example of a ranked team playing an unranked league opponent on the road because I don't think that the Golden Eagles matchup that well with the Hoyas. Georgetown has a ridiculous amount of length and athleticism on their perimeter, and when they sit back in their 2-3 zone, they can be a nightmare to try and score on. Marquette has some perimeter playmakers, but they shoot just 30.2% from beyond the arc. Will there be enough space for them to score in the lane?
Sat. 4:00 p.m.: Bucknell at No. 12 Missouri (ESPN3): Don't laugh. Bucknell is the real deal. If you haven't seen their center Mike Muscala play, he's the real deal. I'd expect a very high number of NBA scouts to be in attendance in this one, as he'll be going up against a guy with NBA size and strength in Alex Oriakhi. Bucknell's key to pulling this upset, however, will be finding a way to keep Phil Pressey out of the paint. I'm not sure they will be able to.
Sat. 4:00 p.m.: No. 23 NC State at Boston College (ESPN2): I like this matchup for Boston College. For starters, they are a lot better than anyone thought they would be this season, and while they still aren't exactly going to compete for the ACC title — they have lost to Charleston and Bryant — this is a team that can make some noise and pull some upsets. Power forward Ryan Anderson is the real deal, and he has support with Joe Rahon and Olivier Hanlon. The Wolfpack have the talent to be a Final Four team, but they have issues putting together a quality game on both ends of the floor for 40 minutes. That makes them susceptible to the upset.
Sun. 12:00 p.m.: No. 7 Syracuse at South Florida (ESPN3): Remember what I was saying about ranked teams on the road? We've learned it so many times the hard way. The Orange better be ready to play, especially considering that both Anthony Collins and Victor Rudd are back are being injured last weekend.

The rest of the first unit on the offensive line was John Martinez at left guard, Mark Brazinski at center, David Harding at right guard and Xavier Sua-Filo at right tackle.
Lewan is continuing his rapid rise from pre-season prospect, to post-season star. Watching Lewan, you see a lineman who looks like what a college OL coach dreams up. He's strong, athletic, long, technically sound and uses his hands well. Michigan has seen this movie before in Jake Long. And his upside is still off the charts.
Next to Lewan, Kevin Graf had a very good day as well. The top offensive lineman in the West, Graf has been impressing us since we saw him as a sophomore at the Los Angeles Scout.com Combine. He's another tackle who is fundamentally sound, and physical.
Harding was steady throughout the day and does a good job in pass protection. He uses his hands well and has some of the best feet we saw today.
The two Utah natives, Sua-Filo and Martinez, both had good days and Stan Hasiak, the Hawaii native, also performed pretty well. The offensive line definitely had the advantage over the defensive line on day one, aside from one particular play where the line broke down and Justin Chaisson and Corey Adams both ended up in Richard Brehaut's face.
As is often the case in All-American games, the exchanges between the center and quarterbacks were sketchy, at best, and the shotgun snaps were a little erratic from Brazinski, but once he contained it, it went without a hitch.
All in all, it was a pretty good day by the offensive line.

Harry Redknapp Out At Tottenham Hotspur
LONDON – According to multiple reports out of England, Tottenham Hotspur has fired manager Harry Redknapp.
Redknapp, 65, once linked to the England national team after Fabio Capello's abrupt resignation, will be officially relived of his duties at White Hart Lane with one year remaining on his contract. During his time in North London, Tottenham finished in the top five in each of their last three seasons.
Redknapp, who would once have Tottenham in contention for a Champions League spot, would see his Spurs stumble down the stretch. Chelsea's victory over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League final may have been the last straw as Tottenham would see their qualifying slot for next year's tournament slip away.
After arriving in 2008 from Portsmouth as a replacement for Juande Ramos, Redknapp would guide the Spurs from eighth to a Champions League birth in 2009-10 with a fourth place finish. Tottenham would miss out on a Champions League birth in 2010-11 with a fifth place finish.
A run of one victory in their final matches would see Tottenham slip from fourth—and thanks to Chelsea's Champions League victory—to out of European contention for the 2012-13 season.
Early names who that have been mentioned as Redknapp's replacement at Tottenham are former Chelsea manager, Andre Villas-Boas, former Liverpool manager Rafael Bentiez and United States men's coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
With local rivals such as Chelsea and Arsenal adding quality talent in the form of Eden Hazard and Lukas Podolski, the loss of Redknapp will be off-set due to the current on-pitch talent of Rafael van der Vaart, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric.
The loss of Redknapp will be felt on the sidelines as Tottenham must now find a world-class manager who must deal with the intense pressure of contending for a Champions League spot, while at the same time finishing above both The Gunners and Blues immediately.

During his visit to Latin America, Obama said on Saturday the allegations against Tim Tracy, 35, were "ridiculous."
But Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres insisted that intelligence agents tracking Tracy since late 2012 had uncovered ample evidence he was plotting with militant anti-government factions to destabilize Venezuela with violence.
"When you want to do intelligence work in another country, all those big powers who do this type of spying, they often use the facade of a filmmaker, documentary-maker, photographer or journalist," he told state TV. "Because with that facade, they can go anywhere, penetrate any place."
Obama's comments about Tracy, and others questioning socialist leader Nicolas Maduro's democratic credentials after last month's disputed presidential vote, have infuriated the government and revived accusations of "imperialist meddling."
Late on Saturday, Maduro's government issued a formal protest note. In a remark reminiscent of his mentor and late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez's tirades against U.S. leaders, Maduro even labeled Obama "the grand chief of devils."
Maduro, a 50-year-old former bus driver who rose to be Chavez's foreign minister and vice president, has alternately railed against Washington in the same terms as Chavez and fanned prospects of a rapprochement by offering dialogue.
"I think he actually wants to improve relations with the North, but because he's vulnerable domestically right now, he needs to revive the old blood-and-thunder rhetoric to shore up support," said a Western diplomat in Caracas.
The Tracy case is a crucial test of Maduro's intentions toward a country that remains the main export market for the OPEC member's oil despite years of political hostility.
Friends and family of Tracy, who was a director and producer at Los Angeles-based Freehold Productions according to his LinkedIn profile, say he became passionately interested in Venezuelan politics and had excellent relations on both sides.
"Understandably, we have been living in a nightmare since a week ago last Thursday, when we feel our son/brother Timmy, a filmmaker, was mistakenly detained by Venezuelan authorities while attempting to return to the United States to attend his/our Dad's 80th birthday party," Tracy's family said in a written statement released to Reuters.
The family said that they had been communication with him and had that he had been treated well.
"We love and miss our son/ brother very much and want nothing more than to have him home safely as soon as possible," Tracy's family said.
Interior Minister Rodriguez, however, countered that Tracy had "disguised himself" as pro-Chavez for credibility in some circles. Some 500 videos of him, and email exchanges with opposition activists, proved he was in the midst of violent plotting with students, Rodriguez added.
"In those videos, those radical, fascist kids ask the 'gringo' for dollars," he said.
U.S. diplomats have still not been able to visit Tracy in prison, where he awaits formal charges after being arrested in late April.
According to LinkedIn, he attended Georgetown University, and his work has included the "Madhouse" TV series about stock car racing for the History Channel, plus a just-finished comedy called "Angry White Man."
A group of several dozen Venezuelan film-makers and others in the local cinema industry appealed for Tracy's release in a petition published in a newspaper on Sunday.
"Everything that's been described, from all sides, about Timothy Tracy's activities, show a filmmaker carrying out a deep and serious documentary about us," their statement said.
"We urge the government to show maximum transparency and objectivity in his case, and to release him quickly, given that this is a case of an audiovisual professional whose work has been brusquely interrupted for political reasons."

Sixteen years ago Garry Kasparov vs Deep Blue in computer chess was the ultimate test of man vs machine.
Now in the age of the iphone, it's man vs computer vs bird...or more correctly malevolent green pigs.
This week in Sydney a group of researchers from the Australian National University will conduct what they hope will be the first of many artificial intelligence challenges involving the incredibly popular game Angry Birds.
In what is bound to be one of the most popular elements of the 25th Australasian conference on artificial intelligence, computer programmers will compete on Wednesday in solving 10 new levels of the game.
The challenge for the progammers is to create a system that will solve the levels.
Their results will then be compared to human players, who will tackle the levels on Thursday.
Associate professor Jochen Renze, one of four ANU researchers involved, thinks this first year will be a human's only chance to beat the computer, because the computer programmers have only had four weeks to prepare.
"That's my guess, this will be the humans' only chance. Some of our computer programmers have done a really impressive job already. At the moment we're not looking at the hardest levels, when we get to them, humans have a massive problem," Professor Renze said.
According to Professor Renze, the reason Angry Birds is so addictive - and so appealing as an AI challenge - is more than just the simple fun of catapulting a variety of attack birds at egg-stealing green pigs.
He said it tested a range of sub-disciplines of AI, including computer vision, machine learning, knowledge representation and planning.
"It is about particular problems that exist in the game. The special relationship between the blocks, which ones need to hit another one.
"They [behave consistently], so if you hit a block in the exact spot the same thing will happen again, but you can't test all of these in advance."
Professor Renze said the Angry Birds challenge was more than just a contemporary version of the man vs machine chess battle, it was quite different.
In chess, each move might have 10 or more options, but the challenge was to plan many moves ahead. In Angry Birds there are only a small number of birds, but each shot "could have a million possibilities".
And, strange as it may sound, he said the battle to the death between pigs and birds was closer to the real world than chess and therefore offered new possibilities for developing intelligent machines.
"Chess is really an artificial problem. Who has to solve a situation similar to chess in daily life? But Angry Birds birds is more relevant to real life, if you knock things they will move and fall."
In a surprising admission, Professor Renze, whose fields of expertise are knowledge representation and reasoning, says the green pigs are safe whenever he takes command of the catapult.
"I'm actually very bad at the game, usually the computer beats me."

LEGO record player plays records with horrifying tones
You must have seen LEGO replicas for a number of things but this one will surely amaze you. A record player crafted completely out of LEGOs has been created in a very beautiful manner. YouTuber Old Music on Vinyl's LEGO turntable uses LEGO and technical components for its base and is fully functional. The platter is made using a huge gear from a toy kit named as "The Gear Box" and is not made up of LEGOs.
Though it's a fully functional player but it doesn't play in synchronization. The instability of the player makes it produce awful tones as if produced by some scary movie. Though creating a record player with LEGOs was not a practical idea but what is worth noticing is that people are trying to make creative innovations.

We've been talking about getting color into your diet on the Feed this week. "Eat produce from around the color wheel, and you'll get nutrients that are thought to reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more," writes BA Senior Associate Editor Meryl Rothstein. We also contemplated why even the color of the plate you serve that colorful food on matters. Basically, the rule of thumb: DO taste the rainbow.
All this talk of color reminded us of the groovy video above, which we spotted last year but which still makes us want to have a rainbow-colored powder-throwing party with our homies. Enjoy watching, and then if you can take this attitude towards putting color onto your dinner plates, you'll be strong and healthy for years to come.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fielding questions about health
Layton's case a lesson for voters: experts
TORONTO -- A year after his death, Canadians are still in the dark about what killed Jack Layton, who had asked voters to let him lead Canada mere weeks before dying.
His family has held firm in keeping the precise cause of Layton's death a secret. And Canadians in the main don't seem to care; many chastised journalists who raised questions in the period after Layton's rapid decline and death last summer.
Widespread admiration and affection for the late NDP leader may be behind the difficulty the electorate seems to have in separating emotion over his passing from the issue at stake. Canadians may be missing a key point about why people should care about the health of their would-be leaders, some experts say.
It's not even about Layton. It's about whether voters have the right to know if, to the best of their knowledge, politicians believe they'll be able to fulfil the role they're asking voters to give them.
Dr. Lawrence Altman has explored the health of U.S. political candidates for decades as the medical reporter for the New York Times.
He says it's surprising at this point in history a political leader could die of an undisclosed illness -- and says it is unlikely American media outlets would have let the issue go easily.
"I think the Times has taken the position that this is information the public is entitled to know," Altman says of the issue of leading politicians' health. Altman is researching a book he hopes to write about political leaders and their health status disclosure.
"My position is that there should be transparency," added Altman, who while still writing for the Times is also a senior fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.
"There's no reason any illness should keep somebody from running for office. It's up to the public to decide whether that illness interferes with the ability to carry out the functions of office or whether that person should be elected. The issue to me is that the electorate should be fully informed."
Questions linger about the degree of information voters had about the state of the NDP leader's health when they went to the polls in May 2011.
Layton had disclosed a February 2010 diagnosis of prostate cancer, though he never revealed what form of treatment he received for it. (By contrast, former federal health minister Allan Rock disclosed he had surgery when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer while in office.)
And Layton was vague about surgery he'd undergone to repair a hip fracture incurred while exercising in March 2011 -- an unusual event in a seemingly fit man of his age.
(This fracture figures prominently in a theory advanced by Dr. Lorne Brandes, a Winnipeg oncologist and CTV.ca health columnist, that Layton had metastatic prostate cancer. His article can be read here: http://healthblog.ctv.ca/post/Did-prostate-cancer-kill-Jack-Layton.a spx.)
When a shockingly gaunt Layton announced in July 2011 he was temporarily stepping aside to again fight cancer, he told Canadians the new battle was against a second, previously undetected form of the disease.
He declined to name it. And to this day, his widow, MP Olivia Chow, and his children have declined likewise.
Chow says to disclose what killed her husband would discourage people fighting that form of cancer. In a recent interview with The Canadian Press, she said she believes withholding the information is the right way to go.
"I think that (I'm) even more convinced that it was the right decision, that we don't have to (say more)," she said.
"People know, it's a cancer, it's cancer cells. It's not as if we're not saying what he died of, he died of cancer. We don't need to go into what kind of cancer because those people that have that kind of cancer will not react well and why inflict that on people?"
Chow says the only people who ask her about the cause of her husband's death are reporters.
Journalists who have given voice to suspicions Layton's second cancer was metastasized prostate cancer have been chided by news consumers.
Patrick Lagace, a columnist for Montreal's La Presse, wrote a couple of pointed pieces on the issue.
"Readers were absolutely incensed that I would bring up the question. To most of those who did react, it was an entirely private issue," he says in an email exchange.
"To some of them, which is shocking to me, if Mr Layton did run knowing his odds were grim, well it was up to him and we had nothing to say. All in all, I'd say that a very large majority of my readers thought it was not a matter for reporters to discuss or question."
Norman Spector, a former senior political aide and now a political commentator, says at this point, the cause of Layton's death is a matter for historians.
Whether they'll delve into it, or whether Layton's family later chooses to reveal which form of cancer killed him, there's no pressing public interest at this point, Spector says.
There was, however, a public interest before the election, he says. And there is something to be learned for the future.
"The lesson we should draw from this whole experience is that political leaders in Canada, as in the United States, should have regular health exams and should release that information to the public. That's my view," says Spector, who was chief of staff to former prime minister Brian Mulroney.
Voters have a right to know if they are likely going to be led by the person seeking their support, he says.
"I think it's important just as the parties have a responsibility to put forward their platforms and their commitments and their fiscal framework that we have a sense that the people we're voting for are going to be there."
In our system of government, a leader who steps aside due to ill health or who dies is replaced by their party, not the public, Spector notes. So if the NDP had won the 2011 election, Canadians would have ended up with a new prime minister -- picked by NDP party members -- just two months after Layton had been sworn into office.
"If I'm voting Conservative, I want to know if it's Stephen Harper or Vic Toews who's going to be the leader," Spector says.
"I mean, (it's) pretty important, right? Especially if Stephen Harper is making a commitment that he won't open certain issues that somebody else might open."

The next big three? How the Celtics could acquire both Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Love
The NBA is all about stars. And usually, it takes three such stars to win. LeBron-Wade-Bosh, Pierce-Garnett-Allen, Duncan-Parker-Ginobili, Bird-McHale-Parrish, Magic-Kareem-Worthy. Sometimes, two great players can make it happen if one of them is transcendent (Jordan/Pippen being the best example), but usually it takes three Hall of Fame talents coming together for a team to win...

Joel Anthony unsure whether he'll use his player option and return to the Celtics in 2014-15
If you're like me, you sometimes forget that Joel Anthony is on the Celtics. He rarely plays (81 total minutes despite being on the roster for 36 games), and flies well under the radar when he does enter the game.But Anthony is very much a part of the Celtics, especially when you stop and consider his salary. The 31-year-old Anthony made $3.8 million this season, and if he so...

- No child left behind June 2
Her one-month-old baby must have been the "something new" Shona Carter-Brooks needed for her wedding this weekend in Tennessee.
A Bride Actually Tied Her Baby To Her Wedding Dress Train And Dragged Her Down The Aisle http://t.co/6mWRkiCE0V pic.twitter.com/kv93NBXIMG
— Rachel Zarrell (@rachelzarrell) June 2, 2014
Carter-Brooks posted pictures to her Facebook page showing infant daughter, Aubrey, somehow attached to the train of her wedding dress, nestled in the white fabric. The photo of mother dragging her baby down the aisle went viral online, with reactions ranging from, "What am I looking at?" to "This has to be Photoshopped, right?" to *blank stare* (actually, those all came from me).
Carter-Brooks turned to Facebook once more to defend herself, BuzzFeed says, stating that the baby was "awake" and "well secured" to the train. "The answer is we do what we want when we want as long as Jesus on our side everything worked out fine," she wrote.

Gale Force Winds Blow Through Central Ohio
Gale force winds blowing through Central Ohio caused disruption on the roads, in homes, and in the skies.
A federal appeals court has ruled that President Barack Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on a labor relations panel.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit says Obama did not have the power to make recess appointments last year to the National Labor Relations Board.
The ruling also threw into question Obama's recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Cordray is a former Ohio attorney general.
Obama claims he acted properly because the Senate was away for the holidays. But the court says the Senate technically stayed in session when lawmakers gaveled in and out every few days for so-called "pro forma" sessions.
The Obama administration is expected to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.

Cowell was interviewed by Tom Bower for Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell and the book's sensational stories, including allegations he slept with his The X Factor co-star Dannii Minogue and details of his grooming regime, hit headlines across the world.
The music mogul admits he spent a week avoiding newspapers and hiding in bed after the allegations emerged, but showed his support for Bower by turning out for the tome's official launch at London's Serpentine Gallery on Wednesday.
Cowell said at the event, "I spent the week under my pillow, and banned newspapers from my house.
I knew it was bad because friends were sending me sweet messages saying, 'Are you ok?' Being invited here is like being a mouse invited to a dinner party by a cat. But I do like Tom, I've grown to like my captor."
Cowell jokingly added: "Actually, since my friends are all here, I want to announce I'm taking a year off from TV tonight. I'm bringing out my own book - the sordid sexual life of Tom Bower."
