It's been too long since we last blogged a wedding! We've just been absolutely snowed under with work and some amazing shoots!
The gorgeous Sarah + David got married by the beach at Long Reef Golf Club. We could talk about what a glorious day it was with all the details, emotions, fun and not to mention the glorious sunset… or we could just let the photos speak for themselves.
We couldn't decide on which photos to include or not include in this post, so we've just decided to post them all up! Enjoy!!
Sarah…looking absolutely radiant!
Loved the unique bouquets created by the same florist from Adam & Ashleigh's wedding!
Gorgeous laughs and smile all round! 🙂
Awesome fun to be had hooning around the golf course! There was some sophisticated driving and camera skills needed to capture these moments while trying to keep out of the way of the pursuing pack!
One of our favourite shots of the day…
A beautiful sunset to finish off a perfect day…

The 2018 World Cup has arrived, and 3.4 billion people around each globe are currently glued to their screens, cheering on their country… and judging some of the horrendous hairstyles in motion. We're not trying to be cruel but, historically, football players have been guilty of sporting some truly hellish hairstyles while playing the great game. From dye jobs to rat-tails, mohawks to mullets; experts in the field of ensure you look at your best in the hair care stakes are, Murdock London who have take a look at some of the World Cup footballers that will be remembered more for their tragic haircuts than their fancy footwork.
Chris Waddle, England, 1990
The first crime against style is our very own Chris Waddle, sporting a mullet that would make Billy Ray Cyrus jealous back in 1990! Though Waddle experimented with many styles over the years, it's his trademark mullet which will forever be remembered in the footballers' haircut hall of shame.
Rudi Voller, Germany, 1990
Rudi Voller's permed mullet gave him the nickname "Tante Kathe" in his native Germany, which loosely translates to "Aunt Kathy" in English. If that wasn't bad enough, the centre-forward's hair also made headlines after a memorable falling out with Frank Rijkaard in a match at the 1990 World Cup. After an argument over a foul and subsequent free kick, Rijkaard famously spat in Voller's luscious locks… and did so again as the pair were leaving the pitch after being sent off. Some sources also say that Voller's mullet took a third phlegm-ing on the touchline afterwards.
Ronaldo, Brazil, 2002
Before the World Cup in 2002, Ronaldo asked his barber for a short back and sides… and middle, top and, well, everywhere except that iconic fringe at the front. The legendary striker later said that he was trying to divert press attention away from his groin injury… though, it may have worked a little too well as his hairdo is often better-remembered than the eight goals he scored for his country!
Lionel Messi, Argentina, 2006
Whilst Messi might be considered to be the ultimate heartthrob by both women and men across the world in 2018, 2006 was a different story altogether. For his debut World Cup, the youngster sported a crop that was reminiscent of something that your mother might style using a bowl and pair of scissors. Luckily the Argentinian sensation quickly got the chop and is now considered one of the most stylish players in the world!
Taribo West, Nigeria, 1998
The Nigerian defender's neon green dreadlocks that matched his kit really does encapsulate everything that we remember about the 90's. Though this look was a definite style-faux-pas, you really have to admire his dedication to stand-out hairstyles throughout his World Cup career – even despite his impending baldness!
Jose Perlaza, Ecuador, 2006
At Germany's 2006 World Cup, José Luis Perlaza sported a hairstyle which had even the most experienced barbers scratching their heads. Was it a mullet, or would you describe it as "short front and sides"? Either way, the burnt curl fringe, cropped top and long locks at back certainly got people talking.
Roberto Baggio, Italy, 1990
Roberto Baggio's iconic rat-tail-inspired style at the 19990 World Cup became so famous that the Italian footballer was given the nickname 'Il Divin Codino'. This loosely translates into English as 'the divine ponytail' – but I'm afraid the jury is still out on that one!
Carlos Valderrama, Colombia, 1994
As well as being regarded by many as Colombia's greatest player ever, Valderrama is also well-known for his iconic 'do at the 1994 World Cup. Serving up 'Sideshow Bob' inspired style, it's safe to say that all eyes were on him as soon as he stepped onto the pitch.
Trifon Ivanov, Bulgaria, 1994
Whilst the bearded centre-back helped Bulgaria to the semi-finals of the 1994 World Cup, he's better remembered by many for his dishevelled look on the pitch. Best known by his nickname 'The Bulgarian Wolf', Trifon Ivanov certainly showed the other countries who to be afraid of.
Romania Team, 1998

Last in the National Customer Service Week series: the importance of people power when serving customers.
Empower staff when dealing with customer service.
We've all heard the old adage: happy staff = happy customers. But we think it's more than that. We think that it's empowering your staff to solve customer issues that makes the big difference.
Yesterday we looked at what customers want from a customer service adviser. One of them was taking ownership for ensuring an issue is rectified. And how do you take ownership? Well you allow your staff the power to solve a problem or surprise and delight customers.
While any business sets out to provide good products and services, the larger a business gets, the more difficult it is to provide good customer service across the board. For those businesses that get it right, the secret is empowering and engaging staff to be good ambassadors for the brand.
In the first blog of this series on Customer Service, we read an example of store staff taking ownership and solving the skirt issue, resulting in a delighted customer who is now a positive brand advocate.
There is such a thing as a free lunch
A number of brands famously allow their staff the ability to surprise and delight customers. It has been widely reported that staff in Pret a Manger are encouraged (not just permitted, but encouraged) to give away free coffees or food each week. Apparently, the policy is a cheaper and simpler alternative to a loyalty-card scheme. And it's not an urban myth: a couple of people in our office regularly benefit from free Pret lunches.
It is a great idea to empower staff to make the customer experience a pleasant one. It has become more and more common for companies to include campaigns to provide 'Random Acts of Kindness' to customers as part of their marketing budget.
Find a fix
As well as surprising and delighting customers, empowering staff to resolve issues has a huge impact on customer satisfaction.
AO.com, for example, recognises that all staff have a part to play in their culture and vision of the business. If something does go wrong, they empower their staff to make it right for customers up to a certain budget.
Timpson have a well known ethos to provide great customer service:
We operate an 'Upside Down' management style.
We believe the best way to give great customer service is to give freedom to the colleagues that serve customers.
They have put guidelines in place and trust their people to do what they can to make sure the customer is happy.
People power
So in short, great customer service is not something a company provides: it is giving power to the people who provide customer service.
As long as your culture and people are aligned to put customers first, your brand should thrive!
We hope you've enjoyed our series of blogs for National Customer Service Week. Catch up on what you've missed by checking out our blog page.

We get up close and personal with the real people behind the headlines as it explores the lives of those living on benefits.

Some have never known what it is to have a job and others have found that work simply does not pay. This new six-part documentary series lifts the lid on the reality of life on benefits in Britain.

I know, it is not Valentine's Day. In fact, we are precisely six months away from yet another manufactured binge of female shame-spending on men who claim to love them.
Consequently, it seems an auspicious time to prepare. That is, if you are blue pill you can go ahead and mark your calendar so you can prepare to translate your hard earned dollars into a reason that he won't leave you.
Red pill women can stock up on popcorn with plenty of time to prepare to watch blue pill women dash feverishly around town, looking for something expensive enough to keep their male "partners" from leaving them.
Hint: Popcorn is way cheaper, amigos.
There are many aspects to The Big Day financially. Candy, flowers, jewelry, fine dining, champagne, romantic getaways and a lot of other things that mandate women to empty their wallets. That's so the men in their lives can be reminded of their speshulness and maybe give a little poon in return.
It is fair and accurate to say that offering up the poon is about the only expectation of men on this day of "romance." Never mind that they like sex, too, and that most will offer it up on any other day. After all, it's the lack of thought that counts.
Indeed, there are so many goodies for men on Valentine's Day that I won't even try to cover them all. Instead I will focus on flowers. The approximate 196 million roses purchased are second only to candy in the 13+ billion dollars spent each Valentine's Day. [1]
Women purchase 73% of those roses. That is a stat low enough that it surprised me a little, till I saw that men purchase 14% of those coveted expressions of love…to give to themselves.
That's right. 14% (27,440,000 or 2,286,666 dozen) of Valentine's Day roses are purchased by men for themselves. I am betting that number drop when The Big Day falls on a weekend and no one is there to see them delivered in workplaces.
I am no math whiz, but without other factors being available it appears that men buy themselves more roses for Valentine's Day for than they do for women.
Men do, however, buy the great majority of Valentine's cards. Those numbers will likely change when Hallmark cards are $100 a dozen. Like I said, it is the lack of thought (and money) that counts.
The money (at least women's) is a very important matter given the fact that over half of men surveyed said they would end a relationship if they were not given something on Valentine's Day [1] – which is to say that 53% of the men surveyed are whores, and just like more garden variety whores, they will take a hike when they aren't being paid.
Ain't love grand?
I am not claiming moral superiority for women, mind you. Every hooker needs at least one John or they would not be in business.
It is the symbolism of cut flowers that I find most intriguing, as well as being analogous to relationships that depend on them as proof of "love." Many flowers resemble vaginas. Some are even named for them. They all have things in common other than appearance and names.
What happens to roses after you shell out some hard earned cash so you can give them to a man who will kick you to the curb if you don't cough up his petals? That's right, they look and smell good for a very short period of time. Then they become useless discards, like the majority of relationships and at least 53% of surveyed vaginas. You have to be blind to irony in order to not see that the men so bent on getting women to waste money on them also happen the same men who are as useless as month old cut roses – the kind you buy at the grocery store.
If you insist on being sentimental, save the flower money and use it to buy a nice colorful arrangement. You can put them on the coffin where any illusions you had about not being with a whore will invariably be laid to rest.
Mind you, those flowers will die in short order, too. They will, however, at least match your dead dreams – and, hopefully, your dead relationship.
Not being one to just point out problems, I am compelled to offer some solutions. The most romantic gift you can give on Valentine's Day is a tiller, a garden trowel and a set of heavy duty work gloves. Throw in a few YouTube videos on how tillers, trowels, gloves and, uh, work works, and you have a man with the ability to perpetually produce flowers of all varieties.
As they say, give a woman a fish and you feed her for a day; teach a woman to fish and you feed her for a lifetime.
Men, our equals, should be no different.
In addition to teaching him the value of work and humility, you will be honoring his agency, his "I can do anything a woman can do, and do it better and do it in heels," way of living life.
If you are so weak you don't have the stomach for that you can always use the garden tools to dig your own grave. You are doing that anyway so you might as well make it more efficient and speedy.
And that is the rub, amigos. If the man who "loves" you hinges that love on whether you shower him with frivolous, wasteful presents; if he will leave you if he doesn't get them, then just stick a C-note in his whorish little bra, show him the door, and find yourself another whore who is a lot more honest about how he does business.
Or, goddess forbid, find yourself a man with enough integrity and maturity that he can feel loved without help from your wallet. They are out there, and you can find them if you quit chasing every Main Street skeezer who crosses your path.
It would be a little more honest if we considered changing the name. Valentine's Day has its murky roots in both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. How it developed into flushing 13 Billion dollars down the toilet every year is unclear. All we know for sure is that it happened and that Hallmark, florists and jewelers and Godiva Chocolates knew a good thing when they saw it.
After pondering this for some time it may be that we need to do another poll. Personally, I am at a loss on what to call Valentines Day to make it more accurate. "Give Me Free Shit or I Will Leave You Day," is really clunky. And it is so long that it will present a problem for Hallmark.
"Whore's Day," is simple and concise, but I am concerned that it would be an insulting affront to prostitutes who are honest enough to tell you who and what they are.
Perhaps AVFM readers, who often prove to have great acumen with glibness and creativity can solve the problem here in the comments.
Me? I am stocking up on popcorn and butter. I have a feeling that Hillary's "War on Men," campaign rhetoric will be in full stride by February and that the advertising and conversations on V-Day will be quite interesting.
Who knows, with the vast numbers of mindless, obsequious Johns this culture has come to call women, we may hit 15+ billion in sales.
Fortunately, we finally live in an age where stock in popcorn will go up as well.

Robbie Sherrard, a stand-up comic, recently made a video explaining why guys don't like being photographed. He couldn't be more accurate. Our favorite lines:
1) "A lot of guys go for this arm around the shoulder thing. It's like 'Oh, you've got a camera? Let's get some photographic evidence of my pit stains.'"
2) "Every once in a while you'll see a picture of a guy with his arm around another guy's waist. It's fair to say this guy made a very poor split second decision."
3) "I think pure joy captured on a man's face in a photo is probably the most embarassing thing that can happen to a man."
Give it a watch and see if you agree.

Nope, I'm Not Trying to Lose Weight

To see the other essays in this series, check them out here, here, and here.
My name is Jes Baker and I am a 300-pound person who is not trying to lose weight. Yep, you read that right. I weigh 300 pounds, I'm not trying to lose any weight, and I don't plan to in the foreseeable future.
I'm also a vintage apron collector and former mental health professional. I won first place in goat showmanship at the 2007 Pima County Fair, I used to be a wedding photographer, and I graduated high school at 16. But in my experience, no one shows much interest in those topics when there is the opportunity to talk about my weight instead.
Now, I know that right now you might be thinking of all of the weight loss advice you could offer me, but allow me to save you some time by addressing the underlying question behind this advice; the question I have heard more times than I can count:
YES. Yes, I have indeed tried dieting and exercise. In fact, exercise and dieting were the two things that my entire life revolved around for nearly a decade and a half. Here is an incomplete list of diets I've tried, starting at the young age of 13—some you'll recognize, some of which I invented myself:
- The SlimFast Diet: Feeling hungry? Drink a SlimFast. And in my case, feeling self-hatred? Drink a SlimFast. Feeling anything at all? SlimFast.
- The Weigh Down Diet: Can't lose weight? It's just because you need Jesus' help!
- The Body for Life Diet: Or, as I like to call it: The Eat-a-lot-of-broccoli-lift-heavy-things-and-then-slather-yourself-in-body-oil-to-get-perfect-abs diet!
- The Diet Pills and Cross-Country Diet: File under: Times when it was impossible for me to procure Phentermine pills (for a damn good reason) but I found a way anyway.
- The White Rice Diet: Literally unsalted white rice for every meal. This was obviously before I was old enough to know any better.
- The Summer Work Out and Starve Myself Diet: Six hours at the gym a day plus drastic caloric restriction: not sustainable, not healthy.
- The Vodka Tonic and Cigarette Diet: Why yes, I did start this when I turned 21.
- The Lifestyle-Change Diet: You've heard of this one, right? It's the one where you tell yourself that your weight loss diet is actually all about "lifestyle." For me, this included a LOT of effort trying to convince myself that every moment of misery (wheatgrass and Pilates classes just don't do it for me) was inspirational.
I have also participated in what feels like every form of exercise available throughout my life. From swim team, softball, basketball, running, tennis, and soccer to weightlifting, bicycling, water aerobics, yoga, and dance. I started with step aerobics when I was a pre-teen; my mom would drop me off at church at 6:30 every weekday morning so I could join my friends' mothers for an hour and a half of step aerobics before school. And yes, if you were wondering, I was the lone child.
Yes, dear reader, I have tried.
I was a disciplined dieter for a significant part of my life, despite the fact that self-loathing was the only driving force of my dedication. I was fanatical about caloric restriction and finding the quickest ways to burn calories, because by participating in these actions I felt like I was not only paying the penance for having a plus-size body, but also because when I shared what unbalanced food plan I was following, it was often met with praise. The performance of attempting to lose weight was always met with applause from those around me and I was addicted to that applause.
What this eventually led to might make you uncomfortable to read: It took me a quarter of a century, but I eventually began to figure out that after years of a lifestyle dedicated to a smaller body and the promises that were attached to it, I had been cheated. I began to realize that diet culture was not going to give me the peace and happiness it promised. It was a thief, and I have spent half a decade trying to recover all of the things it has robbed me of.
I had been robbed of my self-esteem. I was robbed of years of relationships and experiences that I skipped for fear of being judged by my body. Robbed of thousands of dollars spent in the pursuit of unattainable perfection. Robbed of the critical communication between my brain and my body. Robbed of peace of mind. Robbed of the ability to trust myself. Robbed of genuine autonomy. Robbed of internal and external liberation. I was robbed not only because research shows that for most people weight loss diets do not work and can do your body more harm than good, but also because even if I had stumbled onto the "one diet trick" that actually worked, there is no body size that would have given me back the years lost to self-loathing in order to get there.
And so five years ago, with two middle fingers in the air, I walked away from the lifestyle that caused more damage that I can calculate. But as it turned out, leaving that behind was the easy part.
I found myself fumbling in some strange, ambiguous and confusing area; totally disconnected from myself, unable to figure out what my body wanted or needed. I hadn't yet learned how to make decisions for my body and health that weren't in response to the pressures or expectations of trying to lose weight. I was looking for liberation and I ended up lost.
This confusion was bound to happen. When you become obsessed with thinness, the communication channels between your brain and body get obstructed with all kinds of static. At one time you might have had the ability to clearly hear your bodily intuition. But when we starve our bodies and our brain sends out signals that essentially say "HELLO, WE CANNOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT ADEQUATE SUSTENANCE" we are taught not that your body is trying to keep you alive, but that it is working against us. The cycles of famine and feast coupled with shame and guilt of years of trying and failing to override our bodies' need for regular nourishment in order to meet our need for societal acceptance play off of each other until we no longer know how to perceive the signals our bodies are sending us.
And so, without the rigidity of a diet plan, and lacking a working internal compass, I felt completely disoriented. It took years of haphazardly bumping into hurdles to realize I couldn't just throw away diet culture… I also had to learn how to connect internal channels of communication. I had to re-learn how to trust myself. I started with tiny nudges around things like sleep and drinking. My body was communicating that maybe nine hours of sleep would feel better than four and perhaps those Vodka Red Bull days were over. I started to hear a "Hey, you haven't taken your medication!" reminder after a few days of forgetting, instead of after a few weeks. All of these things collectively pushed me forwards, eventually leading me towards seeking different avenues for mental health support. When I sought out different kinds of mental health care, an important bridge was built between my mind and body. They worked together. They healed in tandem. I started working with a "non-diet" dietitian to explore what flexible eating and movement looked like for me. I learned how healing looks different for different people and found the beauty in that. One foot in front of the other, day after day; open to looking at everything in a new way.
My life is now the opposite of a meal plan on a page, written by a stranger. It's instead a series of small experiments—asking my body what it needs or what it wants and then trying that. Listening to the yeses and listening to the nos. Gently collecting this data for myself and knowing full well that it could all shift at any given time. I find myself today in what feels like very uncharted territory and without a map. I used to want the three fastest steps to lose weight, followed by the three fastest ways to love my body. But the real journey is anything but fast and would be impossible to write as a BuzzFeed listicle. This new place is not always a comfortable place to exist, but I've been led here by some of the most brilliant friends, therapists, dietitians, doctors and coaches I know and it feels like exactly where I'm meant to be. I am not trying to be fat and I am not trying to be thin. For the first time in my life, I'm not obsessing about my body size at all because my quest for healing and full-body wellness simply cannot be determined by a number on the scale.
Recovery from the shame and self-loathing of diet culture is a hell of a journey and it often looks like a winding road with no end in sight. But for the first time in my life I've decided to trust myself completely and embrace the fact that I am on a lengthy road, one that I might be on for a long time.
And that? That is a beautiful step towards healing in and of itself.

In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the X-Men, we're doing a poll of the greatest X-Men stories of all-time! You all voted, now here are the results of what you chose as the 50 Greatest X-Men Stories!
We'll do five each day from here on out (until we get towards the end, when it'll probably get down to 3 a day). Here is a master list of every story featured so far. Here are #15-11.
15. "Fatal Attractions" (X-Factor #92, X-Force #25, Uncanny X-Men #304, X-Men #25, Wolverine #75 and Excalibur #71)
Oddly enough, this crossover for the X-Men's 30th Anniversary was the very first one that encompassed EVERY X-title, as Excalibur and Wolverine had to this point not yet been directly involved in major X-Men crossovers (Excalibur had an Inferno tie-in, but not directly tied into the main storyline). Five of the six titles were written by Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza, with only Larry Hama (writer of Wolverine #75) being the exception. The storyline began with two prelude issues, X-Factor and X-Force, which established that someone mysterious is creating a haven for mutants and the seemingly dead Magneto's Acolytes are in charge of it all. In Uncanny X-Men #304, though, Magneto reveals himself to be alive during Illyana Rasputin's funeral (tacky!) and about to wage a war upon humanity, basically the same "out of character" things he did during Planet X. He offers to let any of the X-Men join him. Colossus decides to join Magneto's team. The world decides to act against Magneto first by using the Magneto Protocols, which creates a force field around the Earth. Magneto then destroys the force field, which messes with the world's electromagnetic field and causes major damage on Earth. Professor X thinks that this is enough, so he leads a small team of X-Men into Magneto's outer space base to take care of things. Magneto captures them, though, and in a fit of rage, tears the adamantium out of Wolverine's body, nearly killing him. Xavier flips out and mind-wipes Magneto. The X-Men then save their teammate and discover that Wolverine has bone claws! Finally, in the last part (basically an epilogue), the X-Men cure Colossus of a brain injury that they think causes his defection. He still decides to remain with Magneto, if only to keep an eye on him.
14. "Fall of the Mutants" (The Uncanny X-Men #225–227, X-Factor #24-26, and The New Mutants #59-61)
Fall of the Mutants is a rare storyline in that the three stories that make up the crossover never actually intersect. In the X-Factor one, they deal with Angel being turned into Death by Apocalypse by being given metal wings (he fights Apocalypse's control and becomes the dark but heroic Archangel). The New Mutants suffer a great tragedy when Cypher is killed protecting his teammate, Wolfsbane. Magneto, the headmaster of the New Mutants, flips out and blames humanity for the death of Cypher. The New Mutants decide to leave the school and go off on their own. Finally, the X-Men are caught in a battle in Dallas with first Freedom Force and then with the evil magical being Adversary. Ultimately, the X-Men must sacrifice themselves to stop the Adversary. As it turns out, though, the magical being Roma saved the X-Men and the world just THINKS that they are dead. They are now also invisible to cameras and machines so that they can continue doing good while the world thinks that they are dead. Chris Claremont and Louis Simonson wrote the storyline and Marc Silvestri, Bret Blevins and Walter Simonson did the pencils for it.
13. "Asgardian Wars" (X-Men and Alpha Flight #1-2, New Mutants Special Edition #1 and X-Men Annual #9)
After first manipulating X-Men and Alpha Flight into accepting a gift of special powers in the X-Men and Alpha Flight mini-series by Chris Claremont and Paul Smith (that mini also saw Rachel Summers freak out when she learned that her father and his new wife were expecting a baby BOY), Loki decided to try a new approach with the X-Men. His plan was to manipulate Storm into becoming a new Goddess of Thunder. So he kidnapped Storm and the New Mutants. However, since he didn't want anything to do with the New Mutants, he gave them to the Enchantress. Magik tried to teleport her and friends to safety but her powers clashed with the Enchantress' and instead the New Mutants were strewn about Asgard. The various New Mutants encountered differing challenges, with the most notable being Dani Moonstar becoming a Valkyrie. Meanwhile, eventually the X-Men learned where their friends were so they came to Asgard just in time to see Storm crowned the new Goddess of Thunder. Can the X-Men convince their friend to return to sanity? Can the X-Men even convince all of their New Mutant friends to return to Earth? Will all of them even LIVE through it all? Chris Claremont and Art Adams (doing some of the most famous work of his career) were the creative team on this story.
12. "Messiah Complex" (X-Men: Messiah CompleX", Uncanny X-Men #492-494, X-Men #205-207, New X-Men #44-46 and X-Factor #25-27)
After the events of Decimation, there were no more mutants born...until suddenly a young mutant baby was born in Alaska! This young baby found herself at the center of a war between Mister Sinister and the Marauders (who had secretly infiltrated Rogue's X-Men team), who want the baby for Sinister's...you know, sinister purposes, the Church of Humanity, who want to slaughter the kid and the X-Men, who view the baby as sort of their messiah. However, as it turns out, Bishop remembers a story about this baby from when he was a kid. She is the cause for his dystopic future. So essentially he asks himself "Would you kill Hitler if you went back in time to when he was a baby?" And he answers, "Yes." Of course, he does a terrible job of it, instead shooting Professor X in the head. Hope escapes to the future with Cable, but at least she survives! This crossover was written by Ed Brubaker, Mike Carey, Peter David, Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost with pencils by Marc Silvestri, Billy Tan, Scot Eaton, Humberto Ramos and Chris Bachalo
11. "Inferno" (New Mutants #71-73, Uncanny X-Men #239-243, X-Factor #35-39 and a ton of other issues)
Inferno was the third crossover between the then-three X-titles and it was the first one that became a company-wide crossover. The demons S'ym and N'astirh trick Magik by first capturing her and the New Mutants during one of their stopovers in Limbo and then convincing her to embrace her demonic side and open a portal from Limbo to New York City to free her teammates. Nastirh then use a special device to keep the portal open and the demons then essentially invade Earth. This demonic invasion served as the backdrop of the company-wide crossover as all the other heroes of New York have to deal with the invasion. Meanwhile, N'astirh cuts a deal with Madelyne Pryor where she helps him with his invasion if he helps her find her kidnapped son, Nathan (Mister Sinister kidnapped him). The X-Men and New Mutants stop the invasion but Madelyne still has Nathan, so the X-Men and X-Factor team-up to stop Madelyne, now known as the Goblyn Queen. We learn that Madelyne definitively is a clone of Jean Grey and when she dies, Jean Grey gets all of her memories. The X-Men and X-Factor track down Mister Sinister and Cyclops seemingly kills him. This story was the first time that the X-Men and X-Factor had met up with each other after the creation of X-Factor.
Please, no guessing in the comments section as to what the top ten will entail!

|"The Adventure of the Norwood Builder"
McFarlane visiting Holmes and Watson, 1903 illustration by Sidney Paget
|Arthur Conan Doyle
|The Return of Sherlock Holmes
|Publication date
"The Adventure of the Norwood Builder", one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the second tale from The Return of Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1903 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are visited by "the unhappy John Hector McFarlane", a young lawyer from Blackheath who has been accused of murdering one of his clients, a builder called Jonas Oldacre. McFarlane explains to Holmes that Oldacre had come to his office only a day earlier and asked him to draw up his will in legal language. McFarlane saw, to his surprise, that Oldacre was making him the sole beneficiary and even heir to a considerable bequest, and McFarlane cannot imagine why Oldacre would do so. That business took McFarlane to Oldacre's house in Lower Norwood, where some documents had to be examined for legal purposes. They had been kept in the safe, where the murder allegedly took place. McFarlane left quite late and stayed at a local inn. He claims to have read about the murder in the newspaper the next morning on the train. The paper said quite clearly that the police were looking for him.
The evidence against the young McFarlane is quite damning. His stick has been found in Oldacre's room, and a fire was extinguished just outside in which a pile of dry timber burnt to ashes, complete with the smell of burnt flesh. It seems more than likely that McFarlane did the crime, especially as it is known that he was there around that time.
Inspector Lestrade does quite a bit of gloating in this story, as it seems that he, unlike Holmes, is on the right track. Holmes begins his own investigation into the matter by going to Blackheath, which puzzles Lestrade, who had expected him to go first to Norwood. McFarlane's mother, Holmes finds out, was once engaged to Oldacre years earlier but later wanted nothing to do with the man once she found out how cruel he was: he had let a cat loose in a bird sanctuary. Nonetheless, Holmes tells Lestrade that he can see no other explanation for what happened to Oldacre than the official one, propounded by Lestrade.
Upon examining the handwritten notes given to McFarlane by Oldacre to be rendered into legally acceptable language, Holmes reckons they were written in a very haphazard fashion, as if the writer failed to care about what he was writing. The alternation between legible handwriting and incomprehensible squiggles suggests to Holmes that the "will" was written hurriedly on a train, with the legible writing representing stops at stations. Also, Oldacre's financial dealings are found to have been a bit odd. Several cheques for substantial amounts, for unknown reasons, have recently been made out to a Mr. Cornelius. The discovery by Holmes of Oldacre's trouser buttons in the fire ashes does nothing to help exonerate McFarlane, but Holmes has powers of observation that suggest to him convincingly that Oldacre's housekeeper is withholding information.
Lestrade's gloating reaches a peak when a bloody thumbprint is found at Oldacre's house that matches the accused's thumb exactly. However, Holmes becomes quite sure that something very devious is afoot, as he had examined that part of the house only a day earlier, and the thumbprint was quite surely not there then. Because McFarlane has been in gaol since his arrest at the Baker Street rooms, Holmes deduces that someone is attempting a deception.
Holmes sets up a small fire in one room of the house with a little straw and tells three of his constables to shout "Fire!" Lestrade and Watson are quite astonished at what happens next: Oldacre emerges alive from a hidden chamber at the end of a hallway, where Holmes has deduced it must be, and runs to escape the fire. Oldacre is immediately seized.
It is then revealed that McFarlane being accused of his murder had been part of a revenge campaign against the woman who rejected him years ago, the young mother of McFarlane. Oldacre tries to pass off his actions as a practical joke but is taken into custody, along with the housekeeper as an accomplice. Holmes lightly chaffs his rival for neglecting Blackheath, where he acquired the key information.
As for Mr. Cornelius, the recipient of so much of Oldacre's munificence, Holmes deduces that it had likely been an alias used by Oldacre, who has been leading a double life with the eventual goal of shedding his Oldacre identity so that he would be able to start a new life. The bank account of "Mr. Cornelius" will be seized by Oldacre's creditors. Oldacre swears revenge against Holmes, who serenely dismisses the threats.
Doyle lived in South Norwood from 1891 to 1894, but the Norwood where Oldacre lives is Lower Norwood, also known as West Norwood. The only connection between the story and South Norwood is that South Norwood's railway station, Norwood Junction, is used by Oldacre. McFarlane spends the night in The Anerley Arms, a pub that existed, as of 2011, which has a derelict upper floor (no more overnight guests) and a change of management.[1][2]
This is one of the few Holmes stories in which a fingerprint provides a good clue to the nature of the problem. The wax thumbprint reproduction idea was devised by, and bought from, Bertram Fletcher Robinson (1870–1907), who also helped plot The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901).[3]
At the start of the story, Watson mentions two unrecorded cases that Holmes investigated around the same time as this story:
- "The case of the papers of Ex-President Murillo", which Doyle later wrote as "The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge".
- "The shocking affair of the Dutch steamship Friesland", which loosely inspired the 1945 film Pursuit to Algiers, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes.
- A reference to Professor Moriarty prefaces the story. "'From the point of view of the criminal expert', said Mr Sherlock Holmes, 'London has become a singularly uninteresting city since the death of the late lamented Moriarty'". Moriarty is mentioned in two other 1903 stories: 'The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter' and 'The Adventure of the Empty House'.
Adaptations and differences
The Granada Sherlock Holmes television series with Jeremy Brett was faithful to the original story with exceptions. In the adaptation, Oldacre kills and burns a tramp, but in the book, he refuses to admit what flesh was burned. Next, Mrs. McFarlane is a recent widow instead of her husband being alive but away. Then, Watson instead of Holmes traces payments to Cornelius. Finally, Holmes, instead of Lestrade, warns McFarlane that his words may be used against him.
"The Norwood Builder" was dramatised for BBC Radio 4 in 1993 by Bert Coules, as part of his complete radio adaptation of the canon, starring Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson, and featuring Peter Sallis as Jonas Oldacre, Donald Gee as Inspector Lestrade, and David Holt as John McFarlane.[4] In it, because of his change of attitude towards fame (acquired while traveling in Tibet during his "death"), Holmes, at the beginning, informs Watson that "there must be no more stories" but that Watson should continue to keep notes on their cases to stockpile them for possible future publication. Also, after his capture, Oldacre reveals that he also believed Holmes to be dead.

In cases like this, some people may not see the need or even balk at taking precautionary measures when it comes to the idea of divorce issues. However, setting up legal documents that can deal with property division and other family law issues before a marriage can create a less stressful situation if a seemingly perfect marriage does begin to go downhill later on.
According to reports, more people are looking favorably upon creating prenuptial agreements. These types of agreements are binding legal documents that each party agrees to before marriage that plan out how situations will be handled should certain circumstances arise. A recent study indicated that 63 percent of those knowledgeable in the area of prenuptial agreements saw an increase in such documents being created over the past three years.
A cause of the increase in agreements could be due to the economic improvement as property and other assets holding more of their value. Individuals may wish to ensure that they are entitled to their share rather than attempting to pawn undervalued property off on the other party. Other previous polls indicated that 44 percent of single people believed to have a prenuptial agreement could be beneficial while 49 percent of divorced individuals shared that same view.
Property division can be a difficult process to go through if certain individuals feel that they are more entitled to certain assets than others. Prenuptial agreements could be beneficial if a couple feels it is the right path for them to take. Information on Massachusetts family laws regarding such documents and other legal matters could ease the decision making process for concerned parties.

Valley Cheer Athletics in Kentville has won its first Canadian Cheer Evolution National Championships title.
Two of the club's All-Star teams attended the championships in Niagara Falls, Ont., April 6-7. The International Junior 3 team, Crossfire, was in a 10-team division, having only met one other team in its classification so far this season. The Senior 4.2 team, Bulletproof, was in a six-team class of extra-small entries.
Bulletproof was in first place after day one April 6, and pulled off a zero deductions routine in the final, with the day's score worth 70 per cent of their total mark, to win.
"I am proud of my girls - a small but mighty team," said VCA coach Melissa Morrison. "They believed in each other and they believed in themselves - and they did it!"
Crossfire had a zero-deductions run on day one, meeting their own goal, but had a challenging day two, finishing ninth but taking home an outstanding performance award. Many of the athletes are crossovers, meaning they train and compete with both Crossfire and Bulletproof. With one athlete returning from a concussion after a February competition, and another just back on the floor in the past couple weeks following a broken foot, the teams have come a long way.
"We are unbelievably proud of our teams who competed," said VCA founder and co-president Megan Shepherd. "Crossfire has overcome so much this season and hit a solid routine on day one in a very strong division. They had zero deductions, which is what we set out to do."
Over 360 teams from across Canada and the U.S. competed at the event, which included school, all-star, demo, dance and specialty cheer divisions.
Valley's full club season is not over, with a competition April 13-14 and provincials May 4-5. The club hosts its annual showcase at the Kingston Credit Union Centre April 26 at 6 p.m. as a pre-provincials warm-up, also an opportunity for athletes' family, friends and the public to see all levels of prep and competitive cheer offered at VCA.
Valley Cheer Athletics is in its 11th season of all-star and preparatory cheer programs. This winter, the club certified with Gymnastics Nova Scotia to launch a series of introductory programs. Demand was high with the first sessions announced in March; extra classes were immediately added at almost every level. All-Star cheer placements for Season 12 in 2019-20 get underway June 1; prep programs will start in September. Information on summer day camps, tumbling, cheer and gymnastics sessions may all be found at valleycheerathletics.com.

Mothering is easy.
Mothering is damn hard.
Hair cuts. Easy right?
I mean SUPER easy when your kid is just as happy as can be…
…when your kid don't flinch at the first snip…
…when he's peachy holding a wheel to a fake fire engine…
…when even that loud trimmer don't faze him…
…and he looks this cute with his little man trim.
A $13 dollar hair cut that took 5 minutes and no tears…
…from him.
Turns out nothing about being a mother is easy. From the no-brainers of a hair cut to the heart break of an empty nest. Everything pulls at you, makes you itchy and all panic-y.
And melodramatic.
My baby is turning into a toddler and all I have to show for it is an envelope full of curls. HOLD ME.

Do you see that there? Look around… different, yes?
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen and Whatever-you-are-over-there to my BRAND. NEW. LAYOUT!
*glitter showers*
*thunderous applause*
*giant searchlights*
OK then, moving on.
- Does your baby drink more than 3 bottles a night?
- Does your baby have an increased tolerance to formula or your boob?
- Does your baby try to suck on other people's boobs when you're not watching?
- Has your baby lost interest in that place he shouldn't be going into or the box his toys came in or your remote?
- Does your baby forget that you told him "NO" or when nap time should be or does he have other "black outs"?
If you've answered YES to 2 or more of the questions above, your baby may have a drinking problem. It may be time to provide more solid foods such as diced cooked carrots, fresh blueberries or even ketchup if you're feeling lazy. If those are not an option, try to refrain from vacuuming your home and your baby will find nutrients on your floors. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR BABY!
TISK. Kids these days.

A year ago this week, I was an over-pregnant, sweaty, waddley pregnant woman. I was riddled with fingerprint needle marks and had bumps where there shouldn't have been bumps. Aren't preggo bellies supposed to be round and full and not have a weird flat spot up front that makes you look like you have 2 bellies? Yeah, I thought so. Pregnant bellies are supposed to look like this here:
Carrie and I had a dual maternity photoshoot. She shot me; I shot her. Win/Win you see? Except when in your mind you are a glorious, glow-y, ethereal life carrier and it turns out you look like this:
I'll leave you with the ACTUAL ethereal mommy-to-be (Carrie) so you can cleanse your WTF palate:

Tags: smug mom pregnant baby photo belly arizona garfunkelandoates
I was the smuggiest smugger when I was pregnant. I can admit that. I'm an even smuggier mom. (As you can surely tell.) This is Smuggy Pregnant Amber in Arizona at 16 weeks 6 days gestation. It was taken by Stephanie exactly a year ago (5 days ago)! Oddly enough my Mother tells me that "I" was in Arizona when I was in her belly at about the same time of my gestation. (Gestation is such a smug word. Love it.)
Smugginess during pregnancy is as unavoidable as talking about your child poop as a mother. As soon as that fetus is in the womb, the smug chemicals leak out. This is as adorable as baby drool. Enjoy.
Pregnant Women are Smug by Garfunkel and Oates
(or get the full effect here)
Pregnant women are smug
Everyone knows it, nobody says it,
Because they're pregnant
F-ing son of a gun
You think you're so deep now
You give me the creeps now
Now that you're pregnant
I can't count all the ways how
You speak in clichés now
I can't wait to hear someone say
Don't care if it's brain dead
Don't care if it's limbless
If it has a penis
Pregnant women are smug
Everyone knows it, nobody says it,
Because they're pregnant
This zen world you're enjoying
Makes you really annoying
Bitch, I don't really care
I was being polite now
Since you have no life now
That you're pregnant
You say you're walking on air
You think that you're glowing
But you had been ho-ing
And now you're pregnant
You're just giving birth now
You're not mother earth now
Pregnant women are smug
Everyone knows it, nobody says it,
because they're pregnant
F-ing son of a gun
You think you're so deep now
You give me the creeps now
Now that you're pregnant

…turns out I was just pregnant. Like everyone else.
I was about 15 weeks along here. I blossomed pretty early. This is what I looked like throughout my entire pregnancy. Hands on my belly and a smug little grin on my face*. "Looky… I created life. I'm sustaining it with my mind. What have you done today?"* Turns out there was about eleventy thousands of other woman who were blah blah blah… whatever. Because I created this and they didn't*:
How does that taste? Bitter? Hard to swallow? Yeah, I thought so.* (Umm, Stephanie and I were just discussing this Scrubs quote and I choose to jack it.)
*It's not that I think my kid's better than yours… it's just that he's MY kid and sooo much better than yours I wuv him to pieces. Your kid's cute too. Srsly, that kid of yours is adorable. I love me some children. I wanna see photos! Can I have them when they are all little and new? I like them the best. I'll take good care of them! Nommmmmm… newborns.

That nappy-headed child is me when I was who-knows-what-age. I'm with my very beloved grandfather. I totally would have uploaded a younger photo of me – like fresh from the womb – but this is the only one I had scanned and taking out the scanner is all work and stuff.
In the last year I gained a son. I can live with being another year older. I suppose.

What you don't see is him slobbering on my blanket and kicking his legs with wild abandon.
I'm hoping to have some kind of picture that you can totally tell is a nursery soon. If I have to set fire to a pile of miscellaneous crap in the middle of my living room, I will.

This is our bitty Evan. 2 Days old. Volunteers made the baby hats we received at the hospital, so they were hand knitted instead of the cotton generic kind. Evan got two… and they were way too big.
This is Evan in the same hat. He is about 2 and a half months old here. I had to shmush it on his head to get it to stay on. I was really testing the knitting limits.
They didn't have preemie hats at the hospital and I pray that one day they won't need them.
The cards that were dealt to Evan were great. He was 4 weeks early and only needed an IV and heart monitoring for a day or so. Some are not so lucky. We need to find a way to keep these babies cookin'! 40 weeks and they are nice and plump and all their insides work like a charm. There should never be any of this or this. Parents shouldn't have to lose their house to keep their baby alive. A mommy shouldn't have to wait 5 months before she can hold her little boy. A daddy shouldn't be scared to touch his daughter's hand because it may overstimulate her and cause alarms to sound. Or worse. NO ONE should have to deliver a silent baby. There should never be talk of funerals before labor. A mother shouldn't die because she gave life to her child. I wish my husband and I didn't have to have "I could die" as a reason why NOT to have a baby.
I know this is heavier than anything I've posted here. It weighs on my heart. I never say "I was blessed", because I believe that all those other parents were just as blessed as I was… they just had to have sorrow too… they had to have their hearts broken… but they are no less in love with that child.
Evan was born early because I developed HELLP Syndrome. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason why mothers go into early labor. Sometimes there is no reason why a baby died in the womb. We need to know these reasons and learn how to prevent them.
Feel as helpless as I do? We are little people in this big world. We can all do little things that make big impacts. Here are some little things:
- Walk with me and my family in Grand Blanc on April 26th.
- Live far away in this big world? There are March of Dimes walks across the nation on that very same weekend.
- Sponsor me and donate. Click the box at the bottom of the screen.
- Share my story with your friends and family.
- Share your story with me.
- Learn about HELLP Syndrome so you can spot it in yourself or your friends and family. It can show up as pain right above the pregnant belly or shoulder pain. Mine felt like severe heartburn and a backache. Nausea and vomiting. Headaches. A general feeling of unwell. I was obsessed with knowing all about my pregnancy and I didn't catch these symptoms for a week!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My son is odd. I buy him all the cutest and cleverest toys and right now he is playing nonstop with a plastic set of keys… not even a fancy set of plastic keys. Although, I hear this is normal… the following is not.
Dinnertime. Carrots and rice cereal. Yummy. Veggies, veggies, veggies.
Then, you give the boy fruit and this is what I get! You'd think I'd just slapped his momma. Or stopped his swing. Or taken away his plastic keys.
What the hell? Aren't kids supposed to like the sweet stuff and not eat their veggies? I was prepared for that. Not for this! Wayne is convinced he's playing us and making us think he doesn't like fruit so we always force it on him. I say, "Touché, little boy, touché."
Yes I am. (At least in my own head)

Texas A&M AgriLife is an umbrella for the entirety of the teaching, research, extension and service efforts within agriculture. This includes the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, the 4 agencies (Extension, Research, TVMDL and TFS) and the Vice Chancellor's office. Most of the time, branding Texas A&M AgriLife is used by the VC's office to show the breadth of our reach as well as the interconnectedness and synergy between these entities.
Texas A&M AgriLife as a brand or mark will also be used by the administrative and shared service groups (such as administrative services, HR, IT and Communications) when preparing materials for the whole of AgriLife.
For most folks, use of this logo is confined/restricted to the Vice Chancellor's Office. If you need to use this logo, please contact John Chivvis in AgriLife Communications at firstname.lastname@example.com or (979) 845-2601 to make sure it will used correctly.
If you are printing in black and white, use the black-and-white version of the logo. A "white" or "reversed" version of the logo is also available for printing on dark backgrounds. Always use the right logo for print or web to maintain highest quality. Download a ZIP file of AgriLife logos (Print and Web formats)
The official colors for Texas A&M AgriLife are Aggie Maroon and Cool Gray 11. While secondary colors are available, please note that each AgriLife secondary color is also used to differentiate each agency from the other when collateral is mixed/shared across agencies.
Secondary colors:
Additional approved colors follow Texas A&M University's brand color guidelines. Those colors can be found on the Texas A&M Brand Guide site.
Top questions
Can I use the AgriLife logo if I'm joint appointed?
No. The AgriLife logo should only be used to represent Texas A&M AgriLife as a whole or the Vice Chancellor's office. For joint appointments, you will want to co-brand your material with both of your affiliations. For business cards where you need both college and Research/Extension, these can be ordered through Texas A&M University's Print Acquisition site. For letterhead or other materials, anchoring each logo at the top of the page on either side or stacking them together would work as well. For non-college combinations or special cases, please contact John Chivvis in AgriLife Communications at firstname.lastname@example.com or (979) 845-2601.
Can the AgriLife logo be used to represent both agencies together?
Again, we tend to use the AgriLife logo when it is representing all of the agencies and college. So if you have an event with representation from 2 agencies (or agency plus college), then use of each agency logo (or the college) would be appropriate. This reminds people of the separate agencies involved. In cases where the branded item is reflecting a joint Research/Extension center, the combined "Research|Extension" logo is acceptable.
What do I do with the old logo?
First, do not use any old or previous version of the logo on any new collateral, flyer, or branded item. Any use of older logos takes away from our building, growing and extending the new brand. Except for places where it is cost ineffective (such as replacing agency decals on vehicles) signage, collateral and communication pieces should reflect the correct Texas A&M AgriLife logo. Use of materials with any old logos should be discontinued and recycled.

In 2006, a French novel titled L'élégance du hérisson (The Elegance of the Hedgehog) by a little-known author became a surprise bestseller. Fueled by critical praise and word of mouth endorsement, the novel with an initial print run of 4000 sold over a million copies. Translated into six languages, the book's publishers released its fiftieth reprint in 2007 and it stayed number one on the French best-seller lists for 30 consecutive weeks, beating out commercial titles by the likes of Dan Brown.
The unassuming author of the book, Muriel Barbery, is a philosophy professor who currently lives in Japan, where she is writing her third novel (her first, Gourmet Rhapsody was published in English in 2009).
On Tuesday 18 May, Barbery will be in Cape Town at The Book Lounge in Roeland street to talk about her books. Visit The Book Lounge's site to RSVP.

The Secretary's actions recognize this special area for what it is – too wild to drill
Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 16, 2016
Today the Department of Interior canceled the largest remaining block of contested leases in the sacred Badger-Two Medicine area of Montana. Today's news comes after a decades-long struggle between the Blackfeet Nation and the government to cancel several oil and gas leases that the Wilderness Society believes were issued illegally.
"The Secretary's actions recognize this special area for what it is – too wild to drill," said Peter Aengst, Northern Rockies regional director for The Wilderness Society. "We are happy to see the Blackfeet Nation's longstanding request finally being honored."
The 130,000-acre Badger-Two Medicine, which sits in Montana's Rocky Mountain Front and on the doorstep of Glacier National Park, is central to the Blackfeet Tribe's cultural identity. It is known as a place of prayer, fasts and vision quests—a holy place. The grasslands, forests and rugged terrain also provide necessary habitat for wildlife like grizzly bears, elk, wolverines and many other species.
In 1981, the Department of Interior, under the Reagan Administration, began issuing leases in Badger-Two Medicine without full environmental review or consulting the Blackfeet people, in what The Wilderness Society views as a direct violation of National Environmental Policy Act regulations.
Because the leases were improperly issued and violate key environmental laws, the Department of the Interior had the legal authority under the Federal Policy Land Management Act and moral obligation to the Blackfeet Nation to cancel remaining federal oil and gas leases in the Badger-Two Medicine. For these reasons, in April 2016, Secretary Jewell cancelled the Badger Two Medicine leases held by Louisiana based Solenex who had proposed drilling in the area and sued the government for delay. Today's action applies the largest remaining leaseholder in the Badger Two Medicine, Devon Energy of Oklahoma.
"This area represents the cultural heart of The Blackfeet Nation which should continue to beat strongly for years to come," said Aengst. "The leases never belonged here in the first place. All oil and gas drilling on public lands must be held to a higher standard and subject to proper environmental review."

These past few weeks as we entered your birth month, I've been watching you in bewilderment. Looking at your long limbed body sprawled out on your bed, or sofa, or filling up a chair. Reminiscing about your birth, and every other small detail about your childhood. Conjuring up as many images and memories of little Rocky as I can, as if desperately trying to hold onto the moments of a time that has passed by too fast. And now, after all these weeks of weeping for my little boy with the bouncy hair, big eyes and even bigger smile who is not so little anymore, we have finally reached your birthday...and I get to help you celebrate 13!!
It's a strange thing, watching your child grow. From little infant, to toddler, to a kid growing up too fast...until one day you wake up and in the place of this little boy who you forever hold in your heart, is a grown up teen who has now grown past you! It was still last year that I worried about you going on camp for the first time, when I still needed to linger around you before going to sleep...when I still felt needed in so many ways. I think you've been dependant on our presence for so long, that this giant leap of independence that has occurred almost overnight still leaves me gasping...like is this for real!?
You no longer climb into my bed at the crack of dawn like you used to on a weekend; preferring instead to laze till late and watch YouTube videos on your own. You no longer rely on me to wake you up for school, our phone alarms both blaring a few seconds apart. You no longer collapse simultaneously with me at the end of the day, preferring instead to stay awake and have conversations with Dad. Save for needing me for food, some help with projects, and carting you too and fro, I think I've started relying more on you these days - needing you to print everyone's projects, needing your help with technology issues, needing your length and height when I can't reach the top shelf in the supermarket, and it makes me think of you when you were little, climbing up things to reach the top cupboard all by yourself. It makes me feel like we've gotten here too fast.
But you do still give me little doses of a boy who still needs his mom...when you ask me to choose out your clothes and brush your hair and ask me with puppy dog eyes for treats from the shop. Inside this giraffe-like body is still a little boy who, even though doesn't ask for love and affection often, most certainly enjoys it when the spotlight turns to him. It's the little glimmer that shines and lets me know my vibrant, affectionate boy is still there.
Just last year when your sister turned 13, you promised to never burden me with mood swings (Amen and God bless your soul). So far we haven't experienced any of that , but instead, today, on your 13th birthday, I am pleading with you to not retreat too far into your own world, to always keep the doors communication open and to allow us to peep into your thoughts from time to time. Be a little more open to criticism and keep on reaching for the highest goals, because I know without a doubt that you are capable of achieving them.
These days I wear your bright blue Addidas slippers with pride! The ones that not so long ago fitted your tiny feet and now fits mine. It's a constant reminder that not so long ago you were just a little boy who needed me...and that in no time at all you will need me even less. It's a reminder to take advantage of every precious day and relish in all the moments I have with you. No matter how tall you grow...in my heart you will always be my boy, my jolly Rocky with the razor sharp wit and countless snide comments... who makes me belly laugh like nobody else can...
Happy Birthday Rocky!! Don't ever lose your charm and sparkle; don't ever lose your sense of humour! Keep on drawing people in with your infectious personality and don't ever let the world tell you that you're not enough!
I love you with all my heart...
I love you with all my heart...
Forever & Always
