Adriana Island Cats #1 (Humor)
Holly and Ben take early retirement, moving to five acres on a small west coast island. The situation is not as idyllic as it sounds, however. Ben wants a second career in market gardening but Holly hates the country. Holly wants a cat, but Ben thinks cats are boring and useless. They agree that if Holly truly cannot stand the farm after a year has passed, they'll move back to the city. Holly crosses her fingers that she can keep the cat forever.
When George the Magnificent, tabby/Siamese ruler of all he surveys, is adopted by the couple, it doesn't take him long to convert Ben to an animal activist. The menagerie quickly expands to include Henry, a stray cat with a Buddhist nature, a Samoyed dog and chickens, never mind the wild birds, deer and raccoons that Ben thinks he should feed. Add to this mix the renovation of dilapidated farm buildings, unexpected guests, invading cattle, and a well that runs dry, and Holly begins to wonder if the year will ever end.
And when it does, will she have the heart to deprive Ben of the land he loves so much?
What People Are Saying
George's funny antics will have you nodding your head and very often laughing out loud. I really enjoyed this cute, funny story and highly recommend it.

The charming tale is a wonderful cat story, but it also works on another level, about needs and hopes and reaching to be more than you thought you could be.

I had to yell to make myself heard over the night club's orchestra and the shouts and laughter of other New Year's Eve revelers. "If you insist we buy a farm, I insist on having at least two or three cats around!"
"I don't want cats on our farm," Ben shouted back across the table. "They're boring and brainless. All they do is sleep and shed hair."
"That's not true! Cats are a lot of fun. And they catch mice. Didn't you listen to all those stories I told you about how funny they are?"
"I listened; I just don't believe it."
This ritual argument had been going on for the entire fifteen years of our marriage. We lived in a condo near Beacon Hill Park and pets weren't allowed but I'd managed to partly assuage my longing for those furry, cuddly, crazy little characters called cats by visiting my Aunt Peggy, who always had two or three in residence.
Now my life was changed completely. Ben had just taken early retirement so he could fulfil his life-long dream of living on a small farm. Aunt Peggy, much to my sorrow, had passed away in November. She'd left me the house but her cats had gone to a friend. I'd tried persuading Ben to move into the house, where I could keep Peggy's cats in their familiar territory and he could have a big garden in the back, but he was determined to have his farm, far away from city noise, traffic and hectic work schedules.
Reluctantly, I'd rented out the house and quit my job. I wouldn't miss the job, but I didn't know how I'd survive without the city, my friends and my bridge group. I had to keep telling myself I'd finally have enough peace and quiet to write the short stories I'd been playing with for years. I wouldn't have to get up early or wear pantyhose. I could have as many cats as I wanted and prove to Ben, once and for all, what wonderful animals they were.
Rusty, who had been Ben's ex-boss for all of five hours, tapped my arm and said, "This farming fantasy of Ben's won't work, you know. You're both city people."
"That's right." Jean, Rusty's wife, shook her head at me. "Holly, you don't have a green thumb; you can't even grow house plants."
That was true. My thumb was so brown it was darn near black. It was Ben who loved gardening and wanted to grow carrots and peas and potatoes, not me.
"I grew up on a farm," I said.
"And I've done a lot of reading," Ben added.
"Doesn't matter." Rusty signalled the waiter for another round of drinks. "You don't have any experience and that's what counts."
"We've agreed to give it two years," Ben said. "If I can't make a go of market gardening, or Holly really can't stand country life, we'll be back."
"I'll bet you're back within a year!"
"Wanna put your money where your mouth is?" Ben winked at me.
"Sure!" Rusty pulled a bill out of his wallet and waved it around. "Fifty bucks says I'm right. And I'll even give you your job back so you can pay me off." He looked at me mournfully. "Best cost accountant I ever had and he's gonna go raise chickens and goats!"
Three months later we stood at the gate of our new property on Adriana, a small island in the Strait of Georgia.
"There it is, two hectares of the best soil on the island." Ben beamed as he gave me a hug. "And look at that view!"
"Don't talk to me in metric," I said, "it's five acres." He was right about the view, though.
The land lay on the eastern slope of the central north-south spine of hills, facing the Strait. Fifty yards beyond the maples, cedars and Garry oaks fringing the bottom of our meadow, the sea sparkled blue and serene under the March sun. Robins and sparrows warbled. Crows flapped lazily across the sky and seagulls soared over the beach. The air smelled of new growth and salt sea. I looked at the dilapidated buildings and moaned.
"We'll have the place in shape sooner than you think," Ben said, giving me another squeeze.
The old two-story house was big – at least we could have plenty of company – and I loved the wide front veranda facing the island-dotted sea. I could see myself sitting out there every morning with a mug of coffee, watching sunrise spread gold over the water and listening to the sleepy chirping of birds while I scribbled immortal prose. But not until we fixed the cracked siding and completely renovated the interior. Then there was the back door, which faced the road where we stood and seemed about to fall off its hinges. The chicken house resembled a pile of rubble. The two-foot high lawn was booby-trapped with abandoned iron bedsteads and bits of wire. The orchard looked like it hadn't been pruned since the Second World War.
"I've got it all planned out," Ben said. "Renovating won't be a problem."
I thought he was as overly optimistic about the renovations as he was about my learning to love living on a farm. Mora Bay, the ferry terminal and main town on Adriana, was small and we'd probably have to go to Victoria for major supplies. The five miles of gravel road to Mora Bay, twisting through cedar-scented forest and a scattering of tiny farms, took fifteen minutes and the crossing to Victoria an hour. Add the amount of time it would take to drive to a building supply store, pick up materials and make the trip home and we'd blow a whole day just getting a bag of nails. I reminded myself that clocks didn't matter any more.
Ben had assured me, all through the purchase negotiations, that the house looked worse than it was. He said the structure and plumbing were sound and the only major expense, other than replacing the inner and outer shells, would be some electrical work.
Ben patted my arm. "Come on, Holly, quit worrying. The house is livable."
"Just barely." One burner was gone on the stove, the fridge motor gave a death rattle when it shut off and the linoleum was worn down to the backing. In the first glow of finding affordable land that pleased Ben and a view that consoled me – a little – for leaving the city, I hadn't paid much attention to these little problems. Besides, Ben kept consulting his cost estimates and telling me to look at the big picture. So I had. I'd looked at the meadow and the sea and dreamed of going back to the city. And shut my eyes to that disaster of a house.
But renovating, no matter how tough, had to be less of a pain than my years of being a legal secretary, where the only good thing was the salary. And Ben had agreed to my having one cat. A far cry from the six I wanted, but it was a start.
"Don't forget the pool," he said. "When the weather gets warmer we can have a leisurely dip every night before cocktails. More luxury than we had in the condo."
The real estate agent told us that the pool had been put in six months before, the only new structure on the place. Ben was yearning to strip off the blue plastic cover and dive in but the pool wasn't heated and, even for a water enthusiast like him, March is not the time to go swimming in southern British Columbia. As far as I was concerned, water was only useful as a hot shower or in a glass with ice. A pool was merely something to sit beside with a book, a plate of munchies and a martini.
Footsteps crunched on the gravel road to our left. A lanky man with graying carroty hair sticking out from under a baseball cap stopped beside us. He held out his hand. "I'm Cal Peterson from next door. Saw your furniture van come yesterday." Cal towered over me and looked to be a good six inches taller than Ben, which made him well over six feet.
We introduced ourselves and Cal asked, "You folks work in Victoria?"
"We're retired," Ben said.
"Go on, you're way too young."
Blond, blue-eyed men are lucky; Ben looked forty-five rather than fifty-five. Aging had merely turned his hair and beard the color of faded straw and he could outlast me at the gym without even breathing hard. Dark women aren't so lucky; my long braid of black hair was laced with silver, though Ben tried to convince me that I hadn't changed a bit since our wedding day.
"Well, I'm not really retired." Ben waved his hand at our land. "I've always wanted to have a little farm. No more rules and regulations, no more eight-to-five routine. Fresh home-grown vegetables and fruit." He looked at Cal. "Have you lived here long?"
"Born in that house right there." Cal pointed to a mossy, cedar shake roof barely visible beyond the blackberry bushes marking our northern boundary. "Anything you want to know about the island or getting things done, just ask me."
"Thanks." Ben nodded at the set of parallel iron bars set flat into the ground between our two gate posts. "Okay, first question. What are those for?"
"Cattle guard. Guess you folks don't know much about farming."
"I learn fast," Ben said. "But I never saw one of those before. How does it work?"
"See, it hurts the cow's feet, stepping half on the bars and half on the empty space between. So they stay off it. You planning on raising any cattle?"
"Maybe one cow and a calf each year for the freezer."
"We might raise cats, too," I said, tongue in cheek. "I've had some experience with that."
"We aren't going to raise cats," Ben retorted. "I know purebred kittens sell for big prices but the costs are bound to wipe out any profit."
I should have known Ben would do the research. Cost accounting was in his blood and he'd even got into the habit of applying profit principles to our private lives. His desk was always awash in detailed budgets. I was hoping retirement would cure him, because I had no intention of raising kittens to sell. If I lucked into any kittens, I intended to keep them forever.
Ben pointed to the right of our tattered house. "See the fenced area there with the little shed? Figured I'd plow it up for a garden and sell vegetables."
Cal rubbed his jaw. "That's near two acres. You'll need a better fence to keep the deer out. Anything under eight, ten feet, they'll jump it."
A rabbit popped out of the blackberry bushes hedging the west side of our land from the road. I hadn't noticed there were vines on three sides of the property; Ben's first cash crop might be blackberries. Unless I took up making blackberry wine to drown my sorrows. The rabbit stared at us in astonishment, waggled its ears and scooted away.
"Could have a problem with rabbits, too," Cal added.
"Not with a good dog around," Ben said. "I'm going to get a pup and train it. But first I want to build a carport and a workshop, fix up the chicken house."
"Our house needs fixing, too," I reminded him.
Cal removed his cap and smoothed back his hair. "The agent tell you that well's inclined to go dry in summer?"
The well was fifteen feet from the back door, on the orchard side, and the real estate blurb had referred to it as 'picturesque.' It was four feet in diameter, protected from the elements by a thigh-high stone wall and a peaked wooden roof. A wooden lid kept debris out of the water but the small oaken bucket and crude winding handle suspended beneath the roof were purely for show. The pump house, attached to the back of the house, had apparently been built for midgets. The only way Ben could get in was on his hands and knees. When, at his suggestion, I'd crawled halfway in to see what a water pump looked like, spiders and strange little black insects scuttled in every direction. I backed out too fast and banged my head on the door frame.
"The agent said it was only twenty feet deep," Ben said, "but with all the rain we get on this coast, I don't think there's much danger of it going dry."
"Uh huh." Cal reached in his shirt pocket. "Well, you want any help, let me know. I do electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, just about anything you need." He handed me a business card that said 'Mister Fix-it'. "I'll drop around again when you're settled in. Gotta go feed my Angoras."
After he strolled away, I said, "Do you suppose he has Angora cats or Angora goats?"
"Could be either. He seems like a bit of a character."
"If he meant cats, I want to see them. But I guess that can wait." I gazed at our tumbledown kingdom. "We need a name for our farm. How about Adriana Acres?"
"This country has been using metric for years. Make it Holly Hectares."
"No thanks!" I'd finished high school before the government introduced the metric system and I still hadn't got the hang of it. Mostly because I didn't want to.
"Let's finish unpacking. We can think of a name later."
"I'm going to organize my office." It was hard to believe I actually had my own space. Now, with time and country quiet, perhaps I could polish the short mystery stories I'd been scribbling for years. I'd picked the big room in the northeast corner of the house, with one window overlooking the veranda, meadow and sea and another with a view of the old orchard screening Cal's farm from our house. The scenery would keep my mind off the peeling wallpaper until we redecorated but the place stank of mouse droppings.
"I want to get a cat soon so we can put the run on those mice."
"Traps work just as well. And they'd be cheaper."
"Ben, cats have personalities the same as people and they're a lot of fun. You'll enjoy having a cat once you get to know it."
"When we get a guard dog, you can make a pet of him. I just don't see the point of having animals unless they earn their keep."
Ben's attitude was another challenge, like the house, the chicken coop and all those things Cal had said about rabbits and deer. With the right cat, though, I was sure it would be the easiest to overcome.

The company denied that US Food and Drug Administration has put any restriction on import of Dabur's product in market and would not impact its business there, Dabur said in a filing to the BSE.
"USFDA had not put any restriction on import and sale in the US, of products manufactured at Dabur's Alwar unit. The USFDA has, however, sought some additional information and we are in the process of submitting the same.
"This is a routine procedural matter and will not impact our business in the US," the company said, adding that it would have "no material impact on Dabur India".
Dabur manufactures churans and guar gum at its Alwar plant.
The company also said that the issue had no linkages with the recent decline of its share price as it was market driven.
"Decrease in the share price of the company by 5.83 per cent (moving from Rs 273.19 to Rs 257.25) is a market driven and aforesaid news item and has no significant bearing on the same," Dabur said.
The company said this as a response to queries raised by the bourse, which had sought clarification from the company in the wake of some news reports over the USFDA issue.

It's time for another bloghop, this one I am rely exited about. First because I rely like the subject and second because Samhain is my favorite sabbath. So this post will come to you via the timed posting function here on wordpress because I will be out celebrating 🙂 .
So the topic for this bloghop is: Explore your Shadow side. Isn't that a wonderful topic?
For me a big part of Samhain is to acknowledge and embrace the dark part of one self and of everything. It is a opportunity to understand that the darkness isn't a bad thing per say. It's just another part of everything and whiteout it the lighter part wouldn't be light.
So what is my shadow side? Well to be honest, I have more than one… But the one that I'm going to wright about (I can't wright about them all for then we would be here all week) is the one that probably effects my surrounding the most. From time to time I tend to withdraw in to my self for a period of time. I get rely unsocial and philosophical and… well deep and dark. I have been this way since I was a child, it's my time to contemplate the world and to make sense of it all. My dad was the same way, he also had his deep periods when he contemplated life's great mysteries.
Some times when I try to describe it to people it sounds like a depression, but that's not what it is. I'm not depressed or sad, I just need to think and I often wright a lot during this periods, to get all of it out. It is during these periods I try to put words to what I believe and why and I reed books on philosophy and religion like crazy. So in a way it is during these periods of my life that I form the base on which I build my life. My life philosophy is built during these periods.
Well, you might say, that doesn't sound so dark or shadowy. Maybe not, but there is a down side to these periods and that is that the outer world become a minor thing for me. I'm so busy whit my own thoughts that I forget there are other things and other people around me. So my family and friends get a bit sidetracked and if they fore some reason decide I need to be more social and try to socialize whit me I'm not good company. I get grouchy and short tempered because I don't want to be dragged in to the real world, I'm not done whit my thinking. And I know I'm not the best company so I try to be happy and listen but deep down I just wish that they would leave me alone.
These periods usually last a week or two and come around once or twice a year and I like them. I wouldn't want to be whiteout them because so many people go through life whiteout taking the time to think about things in their life. But I wish that they didn't effect the people around me so much.
When I lay down my tarotcards and one of these periods are on their way the Hermit pops up constantly. And that is the card that I associate whit myself during these times.
Someone that is alone whit his or her thoughts, trying to find their way.
So that is one of my shadowsides. But I would like to wright a little about Samhain to. As I said, this is my all time favorite sabbath. It is the time when I celebrate the new year and that is one of the reasons I love it. It is the time when you can sit down and really look at yourself and your life and then decide what you like and what you don't. It is the time for new beginnings and of hope. There is an old saying "It's always darkest before dawn" and that is what Samhain is for me. The darkest period just before things get better, the dark that makes us appreciate the light. For me the card of Samhain is:
The Wheel of Fortune, that reminds us that everything is moving forward but also in a circular way. It is never to late to start something new, to be a better person, the person you want to be. Nothing is stationary so why should you be?
And whit that my friends, I wish you a very happy Samhain, may the gods be whit you and don't forget to hop on:

Youth News Roundup: Crime & Punishment Edition
Criminal records can haunt young adults for years: "95 percent of young people enter the juvenile justice system for nonviolent crimes like theft or vandalism . . . but because some juvenile court records remain open to the public when they should have been sealed or expunged, these young people can be denied jobs, housing and even admission to college." New York Times
What Happens When We Send Minors To Adult Prisons: "Alonza Thomas was one of the first minors convicted under Proposition 21, which strengthened California laws allowing minors to be tried as adults. The 15-year-old, who was a first-time offender, faced a possible four-decade sentence but received a reduced sentence of 13 years in an adult prison for pleading guilty to committing armed robbery. He was released just last year. The "Frontline" documentary "Stickup Kid" chronicles Thomas' journey, during which he spent the majority of his time in mental health treatment facilities and solitary confinement and even attempted suicide. Even today, Thomas takes medication for depression, anxiety and psychosis to cope with the "psychological duress" of his prison sentence." Huffington Post
A Shooter, His Victim and Race: "IAN MANUEL is a black man who has spent most of his life in prison. Yet he still has a most unusual advocate calling for his release: a white woman whom he met when he shot her in the face. Manuel fired the bullet when he was barely 13, and he fit all too neatly into racial stereotypes, especially that of the black predator who had to be locked away forever. One of the greatest racial disparities in America is in the justice system, and fear of young black criminals like Manuel helped lead to mass incarceration policies that resulted in a sixfold increase in the number of Americans in prison after 1970. Yet, as his one-time victim points out (speaking with a reconstructed jaw), it's complicated." New York Times
How mentors helped one former a girl gang leader become a Benedict College graduate: "When the Benedict College president officially conferred the title of graduate on Monica Watts and her classmates Saturday morning, the Southeast Washington native pumped her right fist above her head in triumph. That same fist had earned Watts the nickname "KO" for knockouts she posted whenever she squared off with girls, women and even young men as she fought her way through the Woodland Terrace neighborhood in Ward 8 as a leader of a girl gang during high school. . . . The path to graduation day is filled with obstacles for any college student, but particularly for young people trying to emerge from streets and lives that have been impacted by poverty and violence. They often don't make it for many reasons: lack of money, the lure of the streets." Washington Post
How Subway Dancing Became A New York City Art Form -- And A Crime: "In recent months . . . dozens of performers have been arrested for reckless endangerment -- a serious charge that can result in a day or two behind bars and a criminal record that never goes away. For many of these kids, the subway quite literally represents a potential path from poverty to a better life. Huffington Post
Police Patrols in New York Public Housing Draw Scrutiny: "Amid broader calls to ratchet down the pressure on low-level crimes, little scrutiny has been paid to a routine patrol tactic used by the Police Department: In public housing, officers walking a beat are watching not only for offenses big and small but also for behavior that is not illegal at all. . . . Attention from the police to noncriminal rule-breaking — recorded on forms known as field reports — is growing, frustrating some public housing tenants as well as elected officials who say the police should be focusing on crime, not acting as what amounts to armed hall monitors." New York Times
Marijuana May Soon Spark Just a Ticket in New York: "The new guidelines would allow people with low-level marijuana possession to be issued a court summons rather than requiring them to get handcuffed, arrested, and brought into the precinct for finger-printing, the New York Times reports.
Police arrested some 50,000 people a year on minor marijuana charges during the administration of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg." Time
No Progress on Marijuana Arrests: "The new analysis of state arrest data . . . shows that between March and August this year [2014], during the de Blasio administration, officers made 15,324 misdemeanor arrests under the statute that contains the "public view" provision — or about 500 more than in the comparable period in 2013, during the Bloomberg administration." New York Times
The Problem With New York's Marijuana Policy: "While running for office, Bill de Blasio promised that as mayor he would amend the practice of singling out young black and Latino men for unfair and, in some cases, illegal arrests for possessing minuscule amounts of marijuana. . . . The [new] policy, however, does not reach the fundamental problem of discriminatory policing . . . Moreover, by shifting marijuana cases from the regular courts into the summons system, which does not identify the accused by race, the city loses the ability to track the disparate impact that petty marijuana prosecutions are having on minority communities. The city has to make the summons system more transparent." New York Times
Teenagers to See Counselor, Not Judge, for Minor Crimes: "Teenagers arrested for minor crimes will soon be diverted to counseling before they ever come before a judge under a new pilot program in Brooklyn and Manhattan . . . The program will apply to 16- and 17-year-olds arrested for the first time for low-level offenses, like jumping a subway turnstile, shoplifting or trespassing, the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., said." New York Times
In a Safer Age, U.S. Rethinks Its 'Tough on Crime' System: "The fall in serious crime was accompanied by declines in other social ills such as teenage pregnancy, child abuse and juvenile delinquency, emphasizing the role of cultural shifts beyond the ken of the justice system. 'Young people are growing up in a safer environment and behaving more responsibly,' said Jeremy Travis, president of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York and co-editor of a 2014 report by the National Academy of Sciences on the consequences of mass incarceration." New York Times
Crime and Punishment: "One thing the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Mo., has sent back to the surface is just how difficult it is to have cross-racial discussions about crime and punishment in this country. That is largely because, perceptually and experientially, we live in vastly different worlds, worlds in which phrases like "bad choices," "personal responsibility" and "tailspin of culture" must battle for primacy with "structural inequity," "systemic bias" and "culture of oppression."" New York Times
Stop-And-Frisk Is Declining, But Advocates Say The NYPD's Real Problem Hasn't Changed: "A study released last month by John Jay College showed that the number of misdemeanor arrests in New York City has tripled since the early 1980s. There were over 225,000 total misdemeanor arrests in 2013, the study found, compared to over 110,000 in 1990. Blacks were arrested for low-level crimes over 100,000 times last year, but just over 56,000 times in 1990. Latinos were arrested nearly 80,000 times last year for misdemeanor crimes, compared to nearly 31,000 of those arrests in 1990. Whites, meanwhile, were arrested for misdemeanors just 29,000 times last year, a smaller uptick from the nearly 22,000 such arrests in 1990." Huffington Post

The Count of Monte Cristo
Edmond Dantes Enemies
What crime did each one of Edmond Dantes enemies committed against him.
What crime did each one of Edmond Dantes enemies committed against him.
Fernand Mondego was the fisherman who betrayed Dantes because he was in love with Mercedes. Military glory brought him a fortune, and he changed his name to Count de Morcerf. He commits suicide after Monte Cristo reveals his military treason. He betrayed his benefactor in Greece, Ali Pasha. He surrendered the Greek city to the Turks, and sold Ali's wife and daughter into slavery.
Danglars is the mastermind behind the letter, which incriminates Dantes. He becomes captain of the Pharaon once Dantes is imprisoned. He becomes a banker with an incredible fortune and a Baron. He has one daughter, Eugenie. His wife and he are alienated, especially when his wife, as money hungry as he, ruins part of his fortune. Monte Cristo ruins the other half. He destroys Danglars by destroying his fortune.
Monsieur de Villefort is the public prosecutor of Marseilles who was responsible for Dantes' incarceration. Much to Villefort's chagrin, Villefort's father was a known Bonapartist, thus his policy for Bonapartist conspirators was harsh. He sought to protect his own name. He succeeds in becoming the public prosecutor in Paris. His first marriage is one that is politically advantageous. He has one daughter by that marriage, Valentine. He also has a son by his second marriage. Monte Cristo ruins Villefort at Calvacanti's trial. Calvacanti reveals that his father, Villefort, buried him as a newborn baby. He was saved by Bertuccio who had been spying on Villefort waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge on him. Villefort had failed to seek out the man who had killed Bertuccio's brother. Villefort is thus ruined. His wife also poisons his daughter, son, and herself. He becomes crazy.
Noirtier is Monsieur de Villefort's Bonapartist father. It was to Noirtier that Napoleons' letter, which Dantes was to deliver before his arrest, was addressed. When Villefort noticed this, he quickly imprisoned Dantes, though he realized that Dantes was a mere pawn in the transaction. Twenty four years later, when Dantes returns as Monte Cristo,Noirtier has suffered from a stroke and can no longer speak. He lives with his son, and is extremely close to his granddaughter, Valentine. He saves her from marrying Franz d'Epinay by informing the Baron that it was he that was responsible for killing d'Epinays father. Noirtier will bless the marriage of Valentine with Maximilien.
Caderousse is originally Dantes' neighbor. He is incredibly jealous of Dantes. Caderousse's greed destroys him, for when Dantes returns as Abbe Busoni, Caderousse is given a diamond by the Abbe. Caderousse, however, kills the jeweler who buys the diamond. He also kills his wife. He himself is now incarcerated. A few years later Dantes visits his prison as Lord Wilmore and helps him escape. This is merely part of Dantes' punishment. Caderousse has not changed, he is still the same greedy man. Thus he dies in Monte Cristo's house murdered by his old friend Benedetto. The Count reveals his identity to Caderousse just as he is dying.

ATLANTA, Ga. - The 23rd ranked and 3rd seeded NC Wesleyan College Men's Tennis team rallied from a 3-1 deficit to come back and outlast the Tigers of Sewanee University (TN) on Friday afternoon in the South Regional semifinals of the NCAA Div. III Tournament at Emory.
The men improve to 22-2 on the season and now advance to the Regional Final (Sweet 16) on Saturday at 2:30 pm to face 3rd ranked and top seeded Emory University.
Senior 19th ranked Giannis Brokakis clinched the win for the Bishops at #1 singles as he ran away with the final set 6-1 to take the match in 3 sets (6-2, 5-7, 6-1). Wesleyan officially won 4 of 5 singles matches while sophomore Aditya Iyer was winning 5-0 in the third set of his match which would have made the score 6-3 Bishops. Iyer won a momentum-changing 7-6 second set of his match as well.
After the men won just one of three doubles matches to trail 2-1, Sewanee (22-7) extended their lead to 3-1 with a 6-1, 6-3 win at #4 singles. However, senior J.D. Telles then started the Bishops' 4 match win streak by taking the #6 singles match 6-2, 6-3 before freshman Jhonny Acosta tied the bout at 3 with his 6-3, 6-1 win at #5 singles. 20th ranked sophomore Roberto Puig then gave the Bishops their first lead at 4-3 with his straight set win at #2 singles (6-4, 6-3).
Telles and junior doubles specialist Ingmar Remmerswaal got Wesleyan on the board early with an 8-5 win at #3 doubles while Brokakis and Puig lost a heartbreaking 8-7 match at #1 doubles falling 10-8 in the tiebreaker.

Is Chivalry Dead?
There's a lot of debate amongst men and women whether chivalry is an archaic behaviour that no longer has a place in the dating game or if it's still a respected yet dying ritual. After all, it is firstly defined as a medieval knightly system with its religious, moral, and social code, and secondly as a man's courteous behaviour, esp. towards women.
Some women believe chivalry is sexist because the treatment is gender-based while others simply see it as good manners.
Feminists might say acts of chivalry are a way a man takes charge and puts himself in control, that by exhibiting this behaviour a man expects something in return. Do men only act chivalrous to women they want to fuck?
When a man helps me put on my cardigan or opens a door, I don't see it as a display of dominance, I just see him as being polite and thoughtful. I don't help guys on with their coats, but I do hold doors open for those around me, and not just men.
If a guy does have ulterior motives for his 'courteous behaviour', I think it is usually transparent and evident by other deciding factors such as location, demeanor, and mannerism. I don't need a man to do anything that is considered chivalrous; I'm a strong, able, confident woman, but I am attracted to a man who acts like a gentleman.
I say to men: keep chivalry alive! If you run into a woman who is offended by it, well . . . she isn't the right one for you.
The word chivalry isn't even part of many young people's vocabulary. So is this behaviour still deemed a worthy characteristic for men to possess, and do women still appreciated it?
How do you view chivalry? Is it part of your personality?
Tell us what you think! 2 Comments
I think chivalry just means to be courteous nowadays. No self-respecting man is going to ruin his coat for a high maintenance woman regardless if she is going to be giving him herself later on.
Although always walking on the side of traffic whether in a parking lot or on a sidewalk is something a man can do to make her feel safe.
Putting on her coat for her is a nice gesture, but generally today women aren't dressed for such occasions. ie. "dressed up"
Opening doors should be for anybody.
Also helping the elderly should be something everybody does. These people paved the way for you. It's a matter of respect to help them whether you're male or female.
This whole "chocolates" thing is a tad overdoing it. Think about it. You see a guy coming to your door with a rose and some expensive chocolates in his hands. Unless that woman is his girlfriend who has her monthly "friend", she's really not going to care.
Now bringing a single rose us a nice gesture. That doesn't happen too often though.

Like most commuters, the main focus of my time outside of work was getting in and out of London as quickly as possible. However, I never failed to be captivated by the sense of history, diverse architecture and the hustle and bustle of the city.
Then one day I was handed a leaflet outside Waterloo station for a company called Hairy Goat, which provides photography tours of London, and thought this would be a good way to combine several interests.
The photography tour was excellent and really opened my eyes to what is not really hiding in the City, but just often simply missed by the majority of people too busy just getting about, like I was.
With my interest duly piqued, and now finding myself working in the very heart of the City, I am taking the opportunity to make an effort to explore my surroundings and seek out the tucked away, unusual, often ignored or just taken for granted buildings and objects of the City of London.

Right across from marketplace concessions, section for standing-room only. Not bad.
Oct. 9/16. Game 3 ALDS. Blue Jays swept series. Seats are a little far from home plate, but not too bad.
Amazing seats! These seats are right between the mound and first base! Row 25 sounds a lot farther away than it really is! This is a true scale view from the seats!
Afternoon game. 1 pm start. No protection from the sun. It was brutal on a hot day. Being to the left of the open aisle blocked the view of home plate while people continually went up and down. Would be better seats for a night game.
June 17/15. 10 rows from the visitors' dugout. Excellent view. You have to be alert at all times for foul balls.
Nice view of CN Tower from seat. You can see people walking along edge ("EdgeWalk"), which I also recommend. Blue Jays won this on an Encarnacion walk-off.
Amazing seats. Can look to your right and see CN Tower. Dome opened overhead. Very close to action; players look larger than pic shows.
121R seat 9 and 120LrnSeat 108 are beside eachother. Best experience. Jeters last time in T.O
Seats are consecutive. Full view of both dugouts. Batters box. Engaged in every pitch. Best seats
April 5/14. Can see right into Jays dugout from these seats. Close enough to hear the players yell. Amazing seats.
April 5/14. "In the Action" home seats. Right next to Jays dugout. Food and non-alcoholic drinks included. One of the best experiences you can have at Rogers Centre.
You'll be on TV in these seats. They are called "In the Action". Only row 1 and 2 are in this area.
excellent seats right behind home plate up close and personal, right in the game!
Right on top of the dugout. Amazing view of the players coming back into the dugout. Just be prepared for all the autograph-seeking kids (and their parents) jockeying for position in this neighbourhood!
Great seats nearly right on the field (there is a box just in front of you). Great view with CN Tower with the roof open.
April 11/17. Excellent view. Aisle seat. Easy access to concessions and restrooms. No climbing of stairs. Protected from sun.
May 14/13. "In the Action" third base seats. First row. Food and non-alcoholic beverages included in ticket price. Excellent view.
Great view of field, with a DSLR camera we could easily zoom in on Yankee (visitor) dugout. Could see the jumbotron screen easily
Oct. 17/16. ALCS Game 3. Seats are in last row of section, which provides convenient access to restrooms and concessions. Nice view. Overhang can slightly obstruct pop flies, but not a big issue.
Seats are good but for $80 you'd think they'd supply a drink holder. Also other fans are up and down constantly
Blue Jays game vs. The Minnesota Twins with the Wood Twins. Blue Jays won 6-5 in extra innings
Very short on knee room and you have to constantly be looking to your right. It is 3rd and 4th seats from end of row and you have to crawl through railing to get to and from seat faster.
Great views. Seats aside, the Rogers Centre May have the worst food and beer selections of any ballpark I have ever been to.
Nice view! A little far from the action and can't quite see in the Bullpen but great value!
Close to home team bullpen, can't see jumbotron, smaller TVs show SportsNetwork and lineup. Great view of outfield, and with DSLR camera you can zoom in on both dugouts. Not bad seats for the price!
Rows 1-8 in the sun, we were the first row in the shade. Great seats and pricing for the junior Jays club
Seats are okay but not spectacular. Good view of right fielder but not close to warning track.
Great seats. Gets very hot if the roof is open on a sunny day. Pay attention.. lots of foul balls!
2017 Home Opener! Excellent seats. Unobstructed view of the whole stadium! Fantastic value.
Amazing seats! Great view of the whole field, jumbotron, visiting bullpen. Highly recommended!
Excellent Seats. Had a great view of game and the jumbotron. In direct sun so it can be hot.
Good seats to view right field and scoreboard. Can see home plate action. Covered from sun when roof open for afternoon game.
Sept. 6/15. Very nice view. Can get very hot during day games. There's more shade on the third base line.
Great seats. Gets a little warm when the sun comes out. There is an overhang that shades you for a little while.
Really good view. Thank you Jose Bautista. Probably the last time at the Rogers Centre
The CN Tower, no zoom... The contrast makes the cloud more ominous than it really is. : )
First time at the Rogers Centre and so thrilled the roof is open so we get this awesome view of the field & CN Tower
Great seats. Although this seat isn't under an overhang, I stayed in the shade all day.
This is the best section in my opinion. Less people up here and the washrooms and the beer are right outside the entrance. With a flex pack paid $42 per seat
ALCS Game 5. We lost 3-0. No view of Jumbotron/right field/center field
Pretty far out there from the infield, and pretty high up. Can't see some of the right field corner. I'd suggest sitting closer in towards the infield at least.
Even though this seat was in the nosebleeds, it was still a great view of the field and you can't beat the price of just $13 a ticket
Although these seats were high up, they still offered a great view of the field.
Beautiful with the dome open however, better view if you're in row one. Can also see CN tower to your right
Great view... Can see everything from up here. Really cool view of the CN Tower when the roof is open.
It's a panoramic photo -- to show that the view of the field is not obstructed, either behind home plate, or in the outfield corners.
Spectacular view of CN Tower. This section is in the open part of the roof. When you are sitting in row 1 it doesn't feel high. However, walking and standing in Level 500 is steep and not for those afraid of heights. May 30, 2016
I waited exactly 316 days for this show and drove over 12 hours from Long Island. I can honestly say this was one of the best shows I've ever been to. I was farther from the stage than I expected but Ed isn't one of those artists you need to have a front row seat for to have a great time. He really puts on a mind blowing show and I suggest you go see Ed Sheeran asap if you've never seen him before because it will truly change your life for the better. 08/30/18
Picture doesn't do justice. View is perfect! Close enough to see everything but without having your neck broken at the end of the night!
Sure, it's a little far from home plate. And there is a slightly obstructed view when it comes to plays made against the outfield wall. But you're in your room, with your own bathroom, and room service if you want it. Better than any stadium suite!
No ticket to the game but rented a suite in the hotel attached to center field.

Refreshing. The word describes what a good cocktail should be, and the Gin Rickey is the embodiment of refreshment. I'm enjoying a Gin Rickey as I write this and it is certainly the perfect drink for a summer day. Don't be afraid of it if you're not a fan of gin; it's not overpowering. All of the ingredients in the Gin Rickey work together to create an incredibly "drinkable" drink. The lime juice balanced by the inclusion of a touch of simple syrup provides the perfect combination of sweet and sour, while the gin and club soda provide a balance of dry and wet that make this cocktail appealing no matter who's enjoying it.
The Rickey can really be made with any base liquor, but the Gin Rickey has been, by far, the most popular over the course of the 20th century. The Rickey was created in the 1880's by a Washington, D.C. bartender named George A. Williamson, at the request of a congressional lobbyist, Colonel Joe Rickey, by adding lime to his regular cocktail of bourbon and tonic. As the addition of lime to the base liquor/tonic combination continued, the version of the drink based on gin gained popularity and became the Gin Rickey.
Here's how I make my Gin Rickey:
2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. lime juice
Club soda
Dash of simple syrup
2 lime wedges
Coat the bottom of highball glass with simple syrup. Fill the glass with ice. Add the lime juice and the gin. Fill the rest of the glass with the club soda. Stir the drink.
Add the lime wedges. And there you have a beautifully crafted Gin Rickey.
Enjoy this refreshing Rickey during a beautiful summer's day…in fact, have two if you'd like!

Writing Letters of CondolencePosted: September 1st, 2011 | Author: writer | Filed under: Articles and guides | Tags: condolence card message, online sympathy cards, sample condolence message, sympathy card condolences, sympathy card examples, sympathy card messages, sympathy card sayings, sympathy card wording, sympathy greeting cards, writing condolence message | No Comments »
Writing a letter of condolence is a daunting and delicate task. When it comes to writing one, you have to be emphatic and personal without being overly dramatic. The skill of condolence letter writing is not usually learned at home or in school but oftentimes, you are called to write one at some point in your life. When writing this letter, you do not want to write the wrong words or make blunders that could embarrass or write something that will offend the bereaved or the family.
Although writing this letter is very difficult, its impact on the bereaved is immeasurable. You should never underestimate the power of sending a condolence letter since this letter will be treasured by the person in grief for many years. Your letter must talk about the life of the departed or a fond memory of the person besides expressing your heartfelt condolences.
Condolence letter writing is not really that hard so long as you write from the heart. Try to write as if the bereaved is right next to you. You do not have to use fancy words since the best sympathies you can offer to the grieving person are your support and sincerity at this very difficult time.

New research, now published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, investigates whether the order in which we drink beer and wine has any impact on the severity of our hangover.
Many people — from all around the world — will have heard different myths about drinking and curing hangovers.
They range from the "hair of the dog," the belief that the best cure for a hangover is to have another drink, to the greasy morning-after meal that supposedly "soaks up" the alcohol.
Lots of people do believe in hangover remedies and prevention strategies, but these are rarely backed up by research.
One such belief concerns the strength of the alcohol consumed. Some believe that it is "better" to start with a drink lower in alcohol volume, such as beer, and continue with higher-volume alcohol, such as wine, to avoid getting a hangover.
Does such a claim withstand rigorous research? Scientists at the Witten/Herdecke University in Germany — in collaboration with the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom — set out to examine the literal truth behind the saying, "Beer before wine and you'll feel fine; wine before beer and you'll feel queer."
To do so, the researchers examined the effects that drinking beer and wine in different orders had on 90 study participants who were all 19–40 years old.
Dr. Kai Hensel, a senior clinical fellow at the University of Cambridge, is the senior author of the new study paper, and Jöran Köchling is its first author.
No truth to 'beer before wine is better'
Dr. Hensel and his team divided the 90 participants into three groups. One group drank around 2.5 pints of beer and then four large glasses of wine, while the second group started with the glasses of wine and then drank the beers.
There was also a third (control) group that drank either beer or wine. A week later, the participants in the study groups that had both beer and wine reversed the order of drinking, and those who drank only wine the first time had beer the second time, and vice versa.
The scientists asked the participants to self-report on their level of drunkenness using a scale from 0 to 10 at the end of each drinking session.
The next day, the team assessed the acuteness of the participants' hangover using an 8-item scale that included the hangover markers "thirst, fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, stomach ache, tachycardia, and loss of appetite."
Overall, the three groups had a similar hangover intensity, and the order of drinking did not make a difference. Women, however, had worse hangovers than men.
As Köchling reports, "Using white wine and lager beer, we didn't find any truth in the idea that drinking beer before wine gives you a milder hangover than the other way around."
Dr. Hensel also comments on the findings, saying, "[A] clear result in favor of one particular order could help to reduce hangovers and help many people have a better day after a long night out."
"Unfortunately, we found that there was no way to avoid the inevitable hangover just by favoring one order over another."
Dr. Kai Hensel
"But this study," he goes on, "was also about showing, in a public-friendly manner, how a rigorously conducted study can provide a solid answer to a specific question and be engaging at the same time."
"We hope," he explains, "it will help inspire [the] next generation of young doctors and researchers to be engaged in a research-driven environment."
In the United States, 1 in 6 adults engage in binge drinking about four times per month, with men being twice as likely as women to binge drink.

The industrial park is expected to create direct and indirect employment for about 12,000 persons, when fully operational. The proposed multi-product industrial park will be developed under the aegis of Gujarat Industrial Policy 2015.
Anita Arjundas, Managing Director, Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd., said, "With a visionary government at the helm, Gujarat has over the years emerged as a future-focused and sought after industrial destination with a strong focus on sustainable development and inclusive growth. Mahindra Lifespaces is delighted to make its entry into Gujarat with the establishment of a multi-product industrial park that will offer business infrastructure and attract more manufacturing investment into the state."
Sangeeta Prasad, Chief Executive Officer, Integrated Cities and Industrial Clusters, Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd., added, "Strong port infrastructure, a robust base of both large scale industries and MSMEs, and a young and agile workforce all contribute towards creating an enabling ecosystem for manufacturing in Gujarat. As a policy driven state with emphasis on ease of business, Gujarat is well poised to drive the Indian Government's vision of Make In India and we look forward to being a part of this journey of transformative growth."
Mahindra Lifespaces has pioneered the development of sustainable, integrated business cities – Mahindra World Cities - in partnership with state governments in India. Based on the philosophy of 'Livelihood, Living and Life', the Mahindra World City (MWC) developments in Chennai and Jaipur span over 4,000 acres and have emerged as business destinations of choice for more than 130 reputed Indian and transnational companies, who have set up operations in these Cities to cater to both Indian and global markets.
Moreover, both MWC Chennai and MWC Jaipur have been developed on 'green' or environment-friendly principles. Mahindra World City, Chennai is an Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Stage I Certified (with a Gold rating) integrated business city. Mahindra World City, Jaipur is Asia's first city (and the world's largest) to receive Climate Positive Development Stage 2 Certification from the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40), a global network of large cities taking action to address climate change.
As part of its journey towards creating a network of industrial clusters across the country, Mahindra Lifespaces, through a joint venture between its subsidiary Mahindra World City Developers Limited and Sumitomo Corporation of Japan, is also setting up an approximately 263.80-acre industrial park in North Chennai (the NH5 corridor).

Fictitious Dishes
The thing about good writing is that it transports you in time and place. You can see, smell, and imagine without leaving the comfort of your house or your subway seat. Ever read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle? Have any desire to visit a meat factory after that? I didn't think so.
But following these written cues can be hard, especially if you've never experienced anything like it in real life. Seriously, how unfathomable is the ocean journey of Pi Patel in The Life of Pi for those of us who have never been stranded in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger? Luckily for us, Fictitious Dishes changes all of that by bringing literature to life – or at least the meals. CHECK OUT PHOTOS OF THE REAL-LIFE MEALS FROM TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD AND ALICE IN WONDERLAND – AFTER THE JUMP!

The Zen Photographer
After 4 trains and a walk through shin-deep slush yesterday, I got to work with soggy feet and terrible hair. Things started looking up, however, when one of my coworkers came back from lunch with a 6-pack of fresh men's socks to share. You'd think I'd been stranded in the wilderness for decades the way I talked about those fresh socks all afternoon. They were so WHITE. And so PLUSH. Ladies, women's socks are a scam – it was like wearing a sheep on my feet.
But back to commuting. People are calling this artist the man who hacked time for his stunning work on underground trains. See why after the jump!

iPhone Photography
How many selfies are in your camera roll this very second? Count them and then repent. We need to raise our smartphone photography standards, people!
We are constantly (and mindlessly) snapping pics – but Brock Davis really raises the bar on iPhone photography. For the last 2 years, he's been taking these simplistic, yet witty, photos that I love. Davis is the Don Draper of an ad agency in Minnesota, so it's no wonder they're so creative. I'm actually a little sorry that his geography makes us mortal football enemies.
Enjoy his work – I can't even decide on a favorite, but Emo Pineapple is the frontrunner. TO BE CONTINUED…AFTER THE JUMP!

It's a rainy day in NYC, which means I'd rather be about a zillion other places. It means soggy ballet flats, frizzy hair, and heavy eyelids, so I appreciate these uplifting, bright photos of umbrella canopies in Portugal.

Pantone Colors in Real Life
Is anyone else really bummed about the color Pantone chose as 2014′s color of the year? Radiant Orchid is said to be purple with pink and fuchsia undertones. But mostly it reminds me of doctor's office upholstery. (Bon Appetit, I applaud your efforts to make this happier news than it is with your post about purple desserts, but it's just not going to work.)
In the spirit of Pantone, however, I will still share this fun photo project by Paul Octavious who matches Pantone paint chips to his real-life environments. …AFTER THE JUMP!

A fight centered in what seems to be one of the most contentious blocks of downtown Dallas continued last week with developer Tim Headington asserting that Texas law doesn't guarantee apartment dwellers the right to access "air, light or a view." He was talking about tenants in the Wilson Building on Main Street, which used to be next door to several buildings knocked down by Headington's company in order to build an outlet for luxury goods store Forty Five Ten.
Forest City, the management company that owns the Wilson and several other apartment buildings downtown, says it was misled by Headington about the Forty Five Ten project. It didn't expect the store to be five stories high, as now proposed, or just 5 feet from the Wilson. Multiple units on the Wilson's south side, Forest City says, will be virtually uninhabitable if Forty Five Ten gets built in its current guise.
"Headington's proposed use of the adjacent property to construct a retail structure will constitute a nuisance and will substantially and unreasonably interfere with Forest City's use and enjoyment of the historic Wilson Building. Headington's actions are intentional and Headington knows that its proposed development will cause damage to the Wilson Building. At least eight apartments in the Wilson Building will be denied almost all access to air, light, and view by the proposed development, and the damage resulting from this substantial and unreasonable interference will cause permanent damage to the Wilson Building and thereby significantly diminish the market value of the property," Forest city said in a lawsuit filed against Headington last month.
Thursday, Headington responded to Forest City's claims with a big "so what if it does:"
"Plaintiff's nuisance claim and requested relief should be denied because they conflict with well-established Texas law for at least five reasons: (i) no legal duty exists under Texas law to provide access to air or light or to refrain from blocking a view and, therefore the proposed building does not constitute a nuisance as a matter of law; (ii) diminution in property value due to the legal use of neighboring property is not a cognizable injury in Texas (iii) a nuisance does not exist under Texas law merely because of aesthetical-based complaints, as is the case here; (iv) Plaintiffs inclusion of a redundant request for declaratory relief solely for the purpose of requesting an award of attorneys' fees is improper in Texas; and (v) Plaintiffs requested injunctive relief is not cognizable under Texas law given the nature of the harm alleged in the Petition. Thus, Plaintiff's nuisance claim, including all the relief requested, should be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Headington says Forest City's lawsuit should be thrown out with prejudice, because the management company can't prove any potential damages that don't arise from Headington legally developing his property. Additionally, according to Headington's filing, Texas courts have never found a nuisance to exist merely because of aesthetical based complaints. That is because a nuisance generally requires an invasion of property by light, sound, odor or "foreign substance." In this case, Headington is merely potentially denying the affected Wilson-dwellers light and air, not adding anything new to their environment.
A hearing to discuss Headington's request for dismissal is set for August 31.
(Note: I live in the Wilson, but my apartment would not be one of those affected by the development.)

How to Celebrate Fat Tuesday. Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, a Catholic holy day. It precedes the 40 days of Lent. Lent is a time for reflection leading up to Easter Sunday. In New Orleans, people celebrate Fat Tuesday with masquerade balls, parades and fun in the French quarter. Here are some ways you can have fun celebrating Fat Tuesday.
Celebrate Fat Tuesday by attending one of the lavish parades. Watch the extravagant floats pass by and try to catch some beads. "Let the good times roll" or in French, "Laissez les bon temps rouler!"
Attend a masquerade ball or throw one of your own. Wear decorated costumes, and don't forget to bring your Mardi Gras mask. Decorate in a festival theme if you are throwing your own party.
Delight in some Cajun cuisine or New Orleans treats. Have some traditional Cajun dishes such as gumbo, crawfish and jambalaya. Try a packzi, a rich donut or a King cake for a sweet treat.
Listen to a blues or jazz band. In New Orleans, you can find a band on practically every street corner. You can also visit local bars to catch some great live music with a New Orleans flair. This is a great way to celebrate Fat Tuesday.
Make your own Mardi Gras costumes to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Decorate a Mardi Gras mask with feathers, glitter and beads. Make a jester hat out of colorful felt with bells attached. Head out to a Fat Tuesday party in your new costume.
Dance on the street. You can find street dances in New Orleans, and dance to the sounds of a jazz band. Feel free and uninhibited as you dance with other party-goers in celebration of Fat Tuesday.

Yes we have made it week 5 relatively unscathed. Uniforms all bought and nearly all labelled just need a pump bag for Popples and I'm done.
To be honest I was dreading the big summer break, 3 kids at home apart from her three sessions at nursery and at first it did not look like it would go well. The boys are usually out at school or placement so Miss P usually has me to herself during the day. "You're my mummy!" has been heard regularly for the first two weeks and I've had to explain that I'm everyone's mummy even Emily's even though she doesn't live with us anymore. For a just turned 3 year old this concept has been hard to grasp but we have persevered and there's no more griping, as everyone gets mummy time and everyone gets daddy time as well as all time together. The sharing of toys has also been tricky with many arguments turning into fisticuffs. For a tiny person, Popples can certainly hold her own. "That's not nice. Let's share. No fighting. There's enough for everyone"- honestly got sick of the sound of my own voice! When it comes to sharing food, no one has a problem everything is distributed fairly with no complaining or hogging.
I also decided this summer to give everyone a break from hard learning. The speech therapist, Vicki, has discussed with me how Oliver takes time to process things and should be given time when the pressure is off to just kind of make sense of things. So we went back to mainly play based learning, taking turns, colours, numbers letters- etc. Still learning but not at a desk with a pencil and work sheets. I can not believe the progress they have made. My non verbal Oliver has not shut up! We bought Sing! for them and Secret life of pets a while ago and these have been great for both of them. Oliver made a stage and microphone out of stickle bricks and was singing proper words to proper songs When he wants to watch it he comes up to me and says "shake it off shake it off" which is what the pigs sing "piggy power". His negatives have improved but Vicki said that's usual as he is more motivated to declare his objection to something "no more bed time" "no more car" "leave me alone" but he has also started verbally requesting things "more juice. Want crisps. breakfast now" and telling me just things "bumped head. it's raining". Now for a child who had 20 words at best before the summer, well I'm impressed. But what made me really proud was yesterday and him voluntarily sharing. They have a set of secret life of pets figures each, just little ones that were about 2 quid a set from ebay and they love them. Usually they still fight over them but Oliver split them into two piles and then came over to Popples and said "Peppy's" (he has always called her Peppy) and then when he found another 2 Gidgets in his set he brought her one. Obviously I then text and told everyone I knew what he'd done- I was so proud!
I think the turning point in their relationship was when it was raining hard the other week. The weather is not great in the summer holidays- it's like the universe wants to see who'll go crazy first. They'd had enough of staying in so I ran them a bath and opened the back door. There was a huge muddy puddle in the border I hadn't finished planting in and they both dived in running up and down, screaming and laughing, in the pouring rain, getting wet through and muddy head to toe. I'd done the bath so when they came in they were warmed straight away and into warm clothes- last thing we need is poorly! Now Oliver joins in when we play chasing, obstacle course, racing, and everything. He was the monster yesterday so put his Gruffalo gloves on (they are like claws) and chased "Peppy" round the garden shouting "Raaaaaahhh!" and attempting to tickle when he caught her.
We have a week and a bit to go before Oliver goes back to school and I'm worried he may lose his speech? It's busy at school and he doesn't have much confidence in his voice yet- he's only just found it. But I'm going to put that aside and enjoy what I have right now. I've heard her helping him with his words and I've seen him helping her with her confidence in climbing. Maybe it's the start of a beautiful relationship, best friends.
