The Americans are coming
Posted: Friday July 02, 1999 06:37 PM On the eve of the Wimbledon's final weekend, CNNSI.com caught up with Sports Illustrated senior contributing writer Frank Deford to talk about the possibility of an all-American men's final on the Fourth of July and the emergence of Alexandra Stevenson.CNNSI.com: Pete Sampras was trailing by a set when his opponent, Mark Philippoussis, retired from the match with a knee injury. Did the defending champion get saved Friday and how will this affect him later in the tournament? Frank Deford: I don't know if he could have come back against Philippoussis. I suspect he could have, but Sampras was facing three days of tough matches, back-to-back-to-back because of the rain, without really being prepared for it. He hasn't had a good year, he hasn't been tested in this tournament, so it's been a while since he had a tough match. The real break he got was that he won't be as tired physically. Of course, the flip side may also be true. If he has a long match in final, he may not be prepared for it since he's had easy matches all the way. Plus, Sampras has a history of not being physically prepared. So he got lucky in one way, but it may come back to bite him in the long run. CNNSI.com: Most people were expecting Andre Agassi to have a difficult time against former French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten, but he had little trouble, dispatching Kuerten in straight sets. How was Agassi able to roll through the Brazilian so easily? Deford: What happened was people thought Agassi would prefer to play against a serve-and-volleyer, and that another baseliner would give him difficulty, but he just was better than his alter ego {Kuerten} at their game today. He played a very superior match today; he's going to be tough to beat. He's done it before here, and when he's in top form he's shown he can win. CNNSI.com: Amid all the controversy about her paternity, Alexandra Stevenson has kept on winning, all the while facing some very good competition. Will playing in as big a stage as the Wimbledon semifinals rattle her, or do you think she can beat Lindsay Davenport Saturday? Deford: I saw nerves in her earlier on [against Lisa Raymond], but she's been challenged. Friday against Dokic she got ahead and thought, 'Wow, I'm gonna be in the semis," and promptly lost the second set, but she regrouped well. It's hard to read a child's nerves and these are children; albeit she is a very mature child, but it's impossible to figure out how she's going to do. We've seen many men and women win championships in their teens, so it can be done. Sometimes they profit by the fact they are young and they don't think the same way as old people. So nothing that happens will surprise me. But Stevenson is amazing, she doesn't seem to be affected in any way by what's surrounding her, she's completely nonplussed. And physically, she moves exceptionally well for a big girl, and she's improved since she's been here. That could really work to to her advantage. CNNSI.com: Is the women's tournament Steffi Graf's to lose? Deford: Yeah, I suppose you have to say that. People forget, though, because so little people pay attention to her, that Davenport can be a dangerous player. She's the U.S. Open champion, but she hasn't proved herself on grass. Graf is certainly the prohibitive favorite -- the only question she has to answer is whether she's up to back-to-back championship runs when she, before the French, didn't think she had one in her. CNNSI.com: What are the chances of an American showdown in the men's final? Deford: Wimbledon couldn't have ordered a better semifinals. You've got the homeboy, Tim Henman, and the defending champ in one matchup, and Agassi and Rafter, probably the two most popular players on tour, in the other. It's an absolute dream semifinal. I can't imagine a men's semifinal that would be more attractive. Coming to the finals, I think it's 50-50 for the Americans. All these guys have legitimate chances to win. Each time they play Henman gets closer and closer to beating Sampras, which means more confidence for Henman and more doubts for Sampras. If Henman hangs in there, Sampras' not having played in a close match may come into play. But you've got to think that both Sampras and Agassi are favorites to make it to the final. |

Marie and Pierre pursued their interest in science together. Fascinated by the newly discovered phenomenon of radiation, they discovered two new elements-radium and polonium. For their discoveries, the Curies shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 with Antoine Becquerel, the discoverer of radioactivity. Marie was also awarded a second Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911.
Posted January 15, 2009
This biography is very educational. It taught me the facts about radium the discoveries of radium and the theroies. This is not a very detailed book or an indepth book. At times it was interesting but at most times it was uninteresting.I wasn't fond of how the book was written, it took you step-by-step through the events almost like a children's book. It was not a very challenging book because the vocabulary was simple.It was also a short book which made it unchalleging. Another reason why I did not enjoy the book was because it only had one page on Marie Curie's childhood and the rest was about her dicoveries of Radium and how she did not enjoy being famous. Some reasons why I enjoyed this book was because it was humerous at times.For example, when she was returning home from the United States to Paris, her driver twisted the steering wheel and crashed upside down in a ditch.When he went to go see if Madame Curie was dead she laughed and said "No". I found it humerous that she laughed when she got in a car accident and also that she cared more about the Radium than herself. I also like how not all of the book is about Marie Curie. It showed the relationships between her and her family, and if any of her relationships had an effect on her discoveries of Radium. If you are a an of Marie Curie and you have read some of her biographies you might like this book. If you are not a fan of Marie Curie and have not read any of her biographies you may not enjoy this book. I gave this book one star because it was not at my grade level and it was a very tedious book.

This is a color I wad intrigued to try. I was thing that green would look good against my sometimes brown/sometimes green/sometimes amber eyes. I hate to speak badly about it but it is not anythig special. I feel like it lacks pigmentation and staying power.
Wow. Urban Decay have scored the jackpot with this one. It has great staying power and it is very easy to apply as thickly or thinly as required. The colour is wonderful for my fair skin and green eyes. This is my HG of eyeliners.
this is only eyeliner that looks good on me and it is the only one i wear. people with dark brown eyes, you NEED this eyeliner! i have fair skin with dark brown eyes and hair, i cannot wear black eyeliner because its too harsh. but i swear this color makes my brown eyes glow. without stash, my eyes just look plain 'dark', but once i apply it, my eyes turn into a beautiful shade of warm chocolate brown.
like others have said, stash is an olive green with just enough shimmer and no giant specks of glitter. it is so soft and easy to apply for make-up beginners such as my self. suitable for day or evenings because it does not look harsh or too dark once applied. i have oily lids and this does smudge a little, but a little primer keeps it locked into place for 12 hours. i have such love for stash. one of the few makeup items i've actually repurchased over and over. if this color is ever discontinued i will cry. there's nothing else like it.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm really mad at myself for using this eyeliner for so long. I'm sorry to be the downer here, but it really isn't very long lasting. It does feel really nice on my skin, and doesn't irritate it as much. It also admittedly looks nice if you're just going out for a bit. The thing is, the lead breaks off so easily, the makeup doesn't last long enough, and the pencil itself sharpens away in no time.
Urban Decay 24/7 liners are the BEST!! I LOVE this product because it stays on yet will blend easily, doesn't transfer to my oily upper eyelid, and comes in fabulous colors. I really do love the Stash color. It's a nice change from basic black or brown. The metallic is great for everyday--not as dramatic as glitter. Easy to apply and seems to come off pretty easily with a basic facial cleanser.
I love this eyeliner. I've been using this as a base under my green and brown eyeshadows and the combinations are beautiful. I'm so glad I got this during the 30% off urban decay sale.
It is a great eyeliner. I also recommend this for hazel eyes. However I find this eyeliner a little heavy for daytime. But it is gorgeous for a nighttime look. Worth the price.
this is my favorite eye liner!! i first off love urban decay e/ls anyways but when i saw this color, i fell in love...my eyes are hazel, so this e/l really brings out the green in my eyes and draws very good attention to them...i would recommend this e/l to anyone!! this color is really easy to put on when you need to give a little color to your eyes without over doing it...and of course, ud always stays on a long time for me

Valbonne, France
Project: The renovation of the facade of a 16th century house within the historic village of Valbonne.
Our assignment was to produce a renovation scheme. As the building was within 500m of the classified buildings in the center of the village and also within 500m of the abbey of St Mary the approval of The Architecte des Båtiments de France was required.
Valbonne village was created in 1519 by Prior Don Taxil, the abbot of St Mary's, who set out with strict rules its appearance. These have largely been maintained to this day.

Mayfield, England
Project: The repair of a Norman church tower in the picturesque village of Mayfield in East Sussex, England.
The church tower of St Dunstan's, Mayfield was built by the Normans during the twelfth century. In 1389, the church was destroyed by fire but the tower remained. It was rebuild between 1410 and 1420 and today is a Grade 1 Listed building.
The problems had been caused by the inappropriate arrangement of
the bells. The force of the swing bells had caused cracks to appear
in the tower. So the bells had to be removed and a new way found
to hang them.
The work enabled the bells to be replaced and for the peel to be
heard across the village and surrounding area once more. This is
part of village life in England and something which stirs the heart of
all who hear it.
The tower was restored once again in its history without changing its
appearance in a manner that, one hopes, will last for centuries to

Shanghai, China
Project: The first major renovation of a colonial building in Shanghai.
The building was once a secondary school in the French concession in Shanghai. It was built circa 1907 and remained a school until the Cultural Revolution. After this time it was used as housing and fell into disrepair on a large scale.
The challenge was to return this old building to its original elegance. It was to be the centre piece and entrance to a commercial centre containing a shopping centre, a 5* hotel and 37 storeys of glass clad office space behind it.
This project lies at the heart of the commercial centre of Shanghai.

On ManPower's list of the 10 hardest jobs to fill in the United States were some highly technical jobs like engineers and machinists, as well as some that may seem surprising, like administrative assistants and sales representatives. Prising says those jobs have changed dramatically in recent years. For instance, strong typing skills used to be the critical skill for administrative assistants, but these days, the position often requires information technology skills such as coordinating webinars or using publishing platforms like Microsoft PowerPoint.
[See Want Seasonal Holiday Work? Start Applying Now.]
Prising's biggest concern is that many of the unemployed get left behind in today's leaner, more educated economy. In addition to what Prising calls the "unprecedented" long-term unemployment rate, he also points to a high youth unemployment rate. About 25 percent of teenagers are currently unemployed. "There's a clear bifurcation between the 'haves' and the 'have nots,'" he says. "You have large parts of the population that just aren't employable."

Poll: France The Gloomiest Country
December 23, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
PARIS, Dec. 23 (UPI) — A poll conducted for the French newspaper Le Parisien indicates the country's people are the most pessimistic in the world.
Five-hundred to 2,700 people were interviewed by telephone and Internet Oct. 26-Dec. 13 in 51 countries in the BVA-Gallup poll, The Local reported Friday.
France got an overall negative score of 79, the lowest in the history of the poll.
"We have never seen a score this low in 34 years of doing the study," said Celine Bracq of BVA-Gallup.
The second unhappiest country in the survey was Ireland, with a score of negative 68, followed by Austria and Belgium, each with a score of negative 54.
Nigeria was found to be the cheeriest country in the poll, with a positive score of 80, followed by Vietnam at 51, Ghana at 50 and Uzbekistan at 45.
Anthropologist Gilles Boetsch said there were several reasons for gloom in France, including the economy and the uncertain future of social benefits.
"Parents know that their children won't necessarily have a better situation than them," he said.

hey guys...Some of you have helped me twice now, and sadly the problem is still at large. Little bit of the history behind my problem; My video card like, blew up. So i got a new one, a 7800GSOC(AGP), and after that, funny things started happening. At first it was good, but then it started to slow down. SO many of you told me to get a new harddrive, so i got Rosewill RP550-2 and installed it. Since then, it's been fine. But a few days ago my PC would run Chkdsk on my second partition every time i booted, regardless of if it was a crash or just a normal reboot. My games (that are all installed on the partition it was checking) would lag extremely bad. So i finally did a /chkdsk /f Xdriveletter) via run, and it fixed something, box went away before i could read it; but since then it was fine, seemed thatr was the real problem. But now it's happening again, and anything involving my harddrive(chkdsk /r) is now taking several hours, as is any kind of scan or anything. But now its happening again. Is my harddrive defective? Do i need to dish more dough!? Or is my Video Card Defective? as always, thank you for your help in advance. <3
Hmm, never tried the cables..I'll do that. I'm doing a chkdsk /r right now and it moves about 4% every 5 minutes. Starting ot realy bug me :/
I just did a Benchmark, and it appears my video card is in 3rd out of 9(9 being the best). ...9 is a 64mb geforce 4 mine is a 7800GSOC
That doesn't sound right at all. It sounds like your HDD is messed up though. Find another HDD if you can, take what you need off of your current HDD, if it doesn't work enough for that, try putting in a ziplock bag, wrapping iti n a towel and then putting it in the freezer for 20 or 30mins and from there trying to get the files off. What benchmark is this? SOunds pretty old.
Fresh Diagnose. Some thing i pulled off of the internet. The computer isn't slow, unless i'm gaming. When i start to play any game, it's pretty slow. Oblivion is like 2FPS, as opposed to the 40 i usually get.
Well i installed a different video card and it appears that the 7800GSOC is defective, and i'm going to RMA it back to newegg.

Magazine Article | November 1, 2005
Integrated POS System Garners 17-Store Installation
The Miller Group is an Arby's franchisee based in Bloomington, IL that operates 17 restaurants throughout the state. The franchisee was using a point of sale (POS) system that was not meeting its performance needs. The company needed a fully integrated system from the POS to the back office to the corporate office.
After examining solutions from four systems providers, the Miller Group selected Prism Data Systems. Prism had installed systems for the Miller Group's VP of operations when he worked for a different Arby's franchisee. The integrator's previous experience with Arby's was one of the reasons it was awarded the business.
Prism Data Systems configured a solution for the Miller Group consisting of ParTech's POS4XP hardware and Exalt POS software. Prism integrated the POS solution with the back office by installing its Paseo software and Above Store Sendero software integrated at the corporate office. Each system cost about $28,000 per restaurant, depending on the exact configuration. "This POS solution gave the Miller Group full integration of all its applications, something it didn't have before," states Larry Ohls, VP of sales and marketing for Prism Data Systems.
Prism Data Systems' biggest challenge was scheduling the installation around the restaurants' daily operations without negatively affecting sales. As a result, installation at all 17 stores took three months. This installation included four to five days of end user training at each location.
The Miller Group is pleased with the new POS system. "Because of the installation, the Miller Group has more accurate and timely management information to eliminate problems at the restaurant before they affect the operations," says Ohls. Now the franchisee can address labor or cash control issues before they become a significant problem.
The franchisee now subscribes to Prism Data Systems' annual maintenance programs for software upgrades. The Miller Group has since referred Prism Data Systems and its POS system to other Arby's franchisees.

I need to clarify this:
] ] Carolyn, I have always thought that she didn't think much of her own work- does this book bear that out?
] Yes. GH was often bothered by the tax man and many of her books were written under pressure to get them done and up for sale, so she could pay her taxes. These books, while thoroughly researched, often did not live up to her own extremely high expectations, and she panned many of her own novels.
She was the harshest critic of her own work.

Playing the Enemy, Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation
by John Carlin
- 2009
Carlin shows how Mandela helped the national rugby team host the 1995 Rugby World Cup and used their victory to unite a badly divided country -- part of a remarkable ten-year effort, during which the leader worked with proponents of apartheid from his jail cell and won the presidency. Beginning in a jail cell and ending in a rugby tournament- the true story of how the most inspiring charm offensive in history brought South Africa together. After being released from prison and winning South Africa's first free election, Nelson Mandela presided over a country still deeply divided by fifty years of apartheid. His plan was ambitious if not far-fetched: use the national rugby team, the Springboks-long an embodiment of white-supremacist rule-to embody and engage a new South Africa as they prepared to host the 1995 World Cup. The string of wins that followed not only defied the odds, but capped Mandela's miraculous effort to bring South Africans together again in a hard-won, enduring bond.

Railway bomb kills 3, wounds 35 in South
- Published: 18/11/2012 at 12:55 PM
- Online news:
Three defence volunteers were killed and 35 people including passengers and train staff were wounded, many seriously, in a bomb explosion that hit a local train in Rueso district in Narathiwat province on Sunday morning.
Pol Lt-Col Jakrit Wongprommet, deputy chief of Rueso police station, said the incident occurred at about 7.30am when a bomb planted on the railway track at the Bukit Yure station near Ban Salo in Rueso district was detonated while the Yala-Sungai Kolok train No 453 stopped at the station.
After the bomb, which was made of a gas cylinder and weighed about 100kg, exploded, militants hiding nearby opened fire at the station.
The huge explosion badly damaged the train's passenger cars. The dead defence volunteers were identified as Prasarn Chatree, Panakorn Choonkaew and Sooksawat Raungnam.
The wounded included one railway police officer and two train ticket inspectors.
The rest of the wounded were passengers. Four or five of them had their legs or arms severed by shrapnel.
All of the wounded were rushed to Rueso Hospital.
The explosion left a hole about 3 metres in diametre and 2 metres deep in the rail track. Two passenger cars were derailed.
Train services on the route were suspended.
State Railway of Thailand governor Prapat Chongsa-nguan said he would travel down South on Sunday to inspect the damage.

In Narathiwat's Rangae district, a woman was killed and her son seriously wounded in a gun attack on Sunday morning.
The incident occurred at about 8am on a road near Ban Luk Khao in tambon Tanyong Limo in Rangae district.
Police said Halimo Royi, 53, and her son Abdulloh, 25, were returning home from work at a rubber plantation at Ban Lubo Diyae on a motorcycle. Two men followed them on another motorcycle and the pillion rider opened fire at them with an AK47 rifle.
Both Halimo and Abdulloh were hit in the body. The mother was killed instantly while her son was seriously wounded.
Police recovered more than 10 AK47 cartridges at the scene.
In Yala province on Sunday morning, about 300 people, including civilians, religious leaders, government officials, police and soldiers, took part in a religious ceremony, praying for peace and an end to the continuing violence in the deep South.
On Saturday morning, a woman was killed and 33 others injured in a motorcycle bomb attack in Yala's Muang district.
More than 5,000 people have been killed and more than 9,000 hurt in over 11,000 incidents, about 3.5 a day, in Thailand's three southern border provinces and four districts of Songkhla since violence erupted afresh in January 2004, according to Deep South Watch, which monitors the regional violence.

DHS reported yesterday that its "National Asset Database," the list of potential terror targets that partially dictates Homeland Security Grant Money, is really, really goofy. Here, via the New York Times, are some of the critical assets in that database:
- Old MacDonald's Petting Zoo
- Amish Country Popcorn factory
- Mule Day Parade
- the Sweetwater Flea Market
- "Beach at End of a Street."
- "Nix's Check Cashing"
- "Mall at Sears"
- "Ice Cream Parlor"
- "Tackle Shop"
- "Donut Shop"
- "Anti-Cruelty Society"
- "Bean Fest"
- Apple and Pork Festival
The state with the most to fear? Indiana, with 8,591 potential targets — handily beating New York, though in the ranking of states with the greatest number of targets that should be attacked by terrorists, New York moves up a notch, bested only by California.

Welcome to the OOC for The King of Skulls!
King] - One of our main guys to focus on. The name says it all; He rules over a castle, treats his servants like crap, and is the true entity of evil itself. But even the coldblooded path of evil can have room for feelings, such as depression, anger, and madness. Taken by Wolfbat9008 (because I'm selfish).
Queen - Another main character. The Queen is meant to comfort her husband during times of need, as well as actually defend him during battle. She is almost as cruel as her husband, and will actually be required to wield a weapon skillfully in order to keep her place. She defends the King with her life. Open.
Offspring - This role is entirely optional, although quite important and quite a focus should it be introduced. This role is basically that of a 16-year-old prince or princess, who will overtake the throne of the King or Queen when either dies. They are susceptible to influence by anyone, even servants or heroes. So you can be the son or daughter of the Master, but be against him in the fight between good and evil. Taken by LJCOMICS.
Servants - Servants are pretty self-explanatory. They serve to take care of the castle, thwart the hero, cook the food, even do laundry. They are often treated like dirt, but if you swallow your pride and become an unquestionably faithful servant (and you just don't irritate anyone), you will get much better treatment. If you're of the opposite sex, there's even a tiny chance the King will flirt with you. He's not particularly faithful to his wife. Always open. Three spots taken by UnendingEmpire (court necromancer), BigPapaBelial (Executioner), ActRaiser (Traitor from the Hero Side), and Kaptian Johnson (Enslaved Hero).
Pets - Yes, even pets are a role in this castle. We haven't decided a setting yet, but the possible pet options will certainly be many. Most pets of the Master are probably going to be talking animals, mythical creatures or just really intelligent. However, some servants with certain privileges can be allowed pets as well; Do enough dishes and you can keep that stray cat you found in your trash yesterday. Several spots are Open, One spot taken by Wolfbat9008 (Enfarius the Wyvern).
Hero - The hero is supposed to stop the Master and his evil ways, like most heroes often do. He is righteous, valiant and brave, and willing to sacrifice himself to save others. The hero gets one artifact to fight the evil powers of the King with, and he gets companions that are the equivalent to Pets and Servants. The only difference is that they will be referred to as something else int he character sheets. Pets are called "Companions" and servants are called "Allies". The Hero is allowed to try and influence the Offspring of the King, trying to turn him good. Open, can have three Allies or Companions at one time.
Character Sheet Skeleton
Name: [What is your birth name?]
Title: [Optional]
Role: [King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Servant, Pet, Companion or Ally?]
Gender: [Male or female?]
Race: [Human, undead, dragon, goblin, demon, ect...]
Appearance: [Either detailed description, a picture at the top of the CS, or both.]
Weapon(s): [Swords, axes, spears? What do you use?]
Armor: [Clothing also counts as armor.]
Abilities: [Only available to the King, Queen, Offspring and Hero. Maximum of five are allowed.]

I just finished giving a photo workshop for Helen on the North Shore of Kauai.
It is really a rush to spend time with someone lost in the photographic process.
The workshop environment allows for a wonderful process of immediate feedback and renewed attempts that accelerates the learning curve.
And the learning curve in photography is immense when we open up to the possibilities of photography as a way of seeing, a way of being in this world.
Last week we spent time for the workshop on the South Shore that can be seen in this previous post.

you can do mail/email as one Rep says but I found out that you can only mail your own direct representative; recently I tried reaching to a other Rep not in my district re a crucial vote impacting the entire state and I was rebuffed! So it is not just you can't be heard by your own Rep you have no way to really be heard on all the items affecting your State.

This seems like an understatement of how far short our congress falls from representing the racial diversity of our country. Census.gov has the U.S. non-hispanic white population at 63.4%. Congress, however, is 87 percent white; 85 percent in the House and 96 percent in the Senate. This is a real issue, that needs to be dealt with head-on. I commend Andrea Seabrook, and Decode DC for all the work they're doing.

2nd listen (great new show, always loved your NPR work as well).
While the stat is alarming and I wish it weren't so, this seems like it may be an unsolvable problem, or at least unsolvable via the obvious solution.
After all, countries with a better ratio are also *smaller* in population—if we were to get back to Reps with districts of 60k or even 100k, there'd be so many Reps (10-ish x the number there are now if I understand the stat correctly), how the goodness would govt function?

The podcast was interesting, but I don't think that adding more representatives would make any difference and I wouldn't agree to the additional cost. It doesn't matter if there are 50 or 500,000 people represented, these Representatives do what they want anyway, and most certainly don't speak for me. Our government has strayed far from the original intent of many of the founders.

Good morning all,
Let's do some math: at present figures, taxpayers annually contribute about $7.5 million to the salaries of Members of the House. If we cut the number of Americans represented to 100,000 per representative, that jumps to $542 million and if you take President Washington at his word and cut even further to 40,000 Americans per representative, we're talking serious money at $1.4 billion. I think that would be money well spent, but not bloody likely.
Do all you can to make today a good day,
Jeff Hess

Average food with above average prices. Good thing is you can use the beach chairs, tables etc etc if you order food/drinks from them. Watch out for those sand flies, specially around sunset!
We were staying at Fosters for our vacation, but we travelled around a bit to other restaurants at first. After a few tries at other places down the beach, we ended up eating almost every meal at Fosters. We found the quality and the service much better.

We were the only customers in the place, a bad omen, but not so. The food, atmosphere, and service were all very good. Everyone was eager to please despite the lack of business. This place is worth a shot.

Myself, my husband, and another couple spent our port day at Foster's. We were picked up and given a tour of the island by Foster's son, who was wonderful.

Morrisons acquisition begins push into ecommerce and delivery
By Ed Owen, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 11:15AM
Morrisons has bought online retailer Kiddicare for £70m, in order to adapt its website technology and roll out its own ecommerce offering.
Morrisons remains the only major supermarket lacking both ecommerce and delivery.
The deal cements Morrisons' plans to move into online retailing, but the Kiddicare brand will remain and continue to be led by its previous owners, Scott and Elaine Weavers-Wright.
Kiddicare operates a large warehouse near Peterborough, and this will form the core of Morrisons' non-food delivery business. Morrisons' first ecommerce website will go live in 2012.
Dalton Philips, chief executive of Morrisons, said: "This acquisition brings not only a respected, successful and fast-growing specialist retailer into the Morrisons group, but also a robust, scalable and highly advanced technology platform around which we can begin to build our ecommerce offer.
"We are delighted to welcome Scott and Elaine Weavers-Wright to Morrisons, along with their team. They are two of the most talented and respected operators of online retail today and their experience and track record with Kiddicare.com has been outstanding. Their knowledge and expertise will be invaluable as Morrisons builds its online business."
Kiddicare remains the largest privately owned baby retailer, founded in 1974 by Neville and Marilyn Wright. It turned over £37.5m in 2010. Its online offering has grown sharply, with more than 80% of sales now online.
Morrisons was found to be losing customers to Tesco, because it lacked either an online or delivery business.
Tesco and Morrisons successfully challenged some of the ads used by Asda in its initial price guarantee push.
Group marketing director Angus McIver left Morrisons in January, as the company begins to focus on own-brand.

MP welcomes fall in migration figure
12:00am Wednesday 3rd October 2012 in News
CLAIRE Perry, MP for the Devizes constituency, has welcomed the first fall in net migration into the UK since 2008.
Recent figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that estimated net migration in the UK fell to 216,000 in the year to December 2011, from 252,000 in the year to December 2010, as a raft of recent reforms to the immigration system start to bite.
The MP, whose constituency covers Tidworth and Ludgershall , said: "I know that immigration is an issue that concerns many people in the constituency and I know how deeply frustrated they are about the chaos which was the hallmark of our immigration system for too long.
"For years under Labour, immigration was out of control with net migration to Britain reaching more than 2.2 million people between 1997 and 2010.
"We now have a Government which is doing what is needed to bring immigration under control.
"Economic migration has been capped, bogus students are being turned away, and the rules on family migration are being made more robust. Immigration is still too high but I know the Government is committed to continuing.
"Its aim is to bring it down to sustainable levels, from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands."
We asked local people for their views on the issue.
Robert Hickman, from Andover, is pleased to hear about the net fall. He said: "I welcome the reduction, the country is far too densely populated as it is.
"Large proportions come here and seek welfare benefit and receive more than older pensioners who have been here all their lives and it's worse with some gaining false asylum."
Adelle Kness, a student at Winchester University, said: "Unemployment is a major concern all over the country now and with more people coming into the country the competition for vacancies is increased, but with the net fall this will lessen.
"Also it costs and this means others don't get enough including the elderly."
Norman Burgess, 90, a lifelong Andoverian, said: "The falling numbers sound like a good thing to me as at the moment there is barely enough money to help the people that really deserve it and have worked here during their lifetime.
"They should be entitled to support and help."

Unless my maths fail me, I think 2.2 million people over 14 years is an average of 157,142 per annum which is considerably lower than your 216,000 Ms Perry!
One can only pray and hope you don't one day get into the cabinet as Education Secretary.
