A Music Hall for Tony.\ pandy.
A Music Hall for Tony. pandy. [SPECIAL TO THE LEADER."] The days when people never mentioned music halls, except under their breath, and then never in the "presence of chil- dren. are happily gone by for ever. Those places of entertainment, which were once regarded with holy horror by everyone who had any pretensions to respectability, have demonstrated pretty clearly that they are not the dens of iniquity that they were commonly supposed to be. It is possible that ten and twenty years ago the entertainments provided by the "Halls" were not quite so refined or quite so proper as they might have been; but, after all, we are not living ten or twenty years ago, but in the present, and to-day, and it would be an untruthful and an unjust man who said that the type of amusement provided by the Halls was not every bit as wholesome, laughter-making and profitable as the great majority of regular plays. It is an great majority of regular plays. It is an accepted truism—rendered wearisome by frequent repetition—that the present age is an age of rush and axeitement. The majority of mankind is working not merely steadily, but with feverish haste. A man must cram the pleasures and amusements of his life into a few hastily- snatched hours. It may sound exagger- ated, but it is none the less true, to say that music halls were a great national want, and that to-day they are becoming national institutions. To-day the average music hall is a marvel of architectural and artistic beauty, and there the average man may sit amid pleasant surroundings, in company with his best-loved pipe, and for an hour or so forget the black dog of care which he has left behind him in the street, and he will go home to bed a better and a braver man, because his heart is lighter. Tonypandy is to have a music hall—in fact, Tonypandy has a music hall—for next Monday sees the public opening of one of the prettiest and most comfort- able halls out of London—the New Empire of Varieties. The architect is Mr. G. F. Ward, of Birmingham and London, who has had world-wide experience in modern theatre construction. Mr. Ward has acted in conjunction with Mr. J. T. Jenkins, of Porth, who has superintended every detail of the construction with painstaking minuteness. The front eleva- tion, which occupies 75 feet of the road- way, is a very handsome one of a. modern type of architecture, viz., rusticated terra cotta relieved with cement panels. The height of the building is increased at each end, and forms a couple of towers. The windows are irregularly and quaintly placed. The construction of the building has been entrusted to Messrs. E. R. Evans and Bros., contractors, Cardiff. One of the members of that firm-Mr. E. 'K Evans-courteously conducted me over the building. I was first shown the vesti- bule rapidly being decorated by a busy army of workmen. I then went on the stage, where I obtained a splendid view of the auditorium, which consists of stalls, pit, grand circle, upper circle and gallery. The arrangements behind" were of a complete and perfect character. The dressing-rooms, both behind and below the stage, are roomy. A capacious band-room runs the whole length of the stage, and the whole is shut off from the front of the house by iron fire-proof doors. The stage itself, which is nearly 22ft. in depth, is planned on the most modern system. The width of the actual proscenium is 30ft., and the stage will be illuminated with electric footlights and electric battens. The height of the build- ing over the stage has been carried to nearly 70ft., so that it will be unnecessary to roll any of the scenery. An asbestos curtain wiii shut off the stage from the auditorium, and with the iron fire-proof doors, completely obviates any danger to the house should the scenery at any time catch fire. The floor of the house has a rise of over an inch in the foot, The scheme of colour in the house is dark red and terra cotta, while the ceiling is of cream picked out with pale blue and gold scroll work. There are capacious boxes, one on each side of the stage, which are capacious and comfort- able to a degree, and will doubtless com- mend themselves to family parties. I was much struck with the marvellous sighting of the house. A house some 60ft. in length and 50ft. in height can- not be called a small one, and yet a per- fect view of the stage can be obtained from even the remotest corner of the auditorium, not even excepting the gallery. This is probably due to the fact that the house has been constructed on the modern principle, which does away with all columns, girders being used in- stead. What an improvement this is can only be appreciated by those who know what it is to be obliged to crane their necks round some obstacle to obtain a glimpse of the stage. Some of these girders are simply gigantic, and some of them weigh no less than four tons apiece. The front of the grand circle is composed of panel work in cream and gold, from which branch sorays of electric lights. The roof and boxes being also decorated in similar style. The whole building, it may be mentioned, will be lighted by electricity, with the exception of the big sun" burner in the ceiling; the elec- tricity being generated on the premises by an electric dynamo of the latest con struction, driven by a gas engine of 42 horse-power. Although this installation alone has run away with no less than -960, gas has in addition been laid on throughout the building, in case any necessity should arise for its general use. Fire appliances are laid in readiness, and these have been tested and found satis- factory by the Mid-Rhondda Fire Brigade. The seats in the grand circle are com- fortable—tip-up chairs covered with crimson plush. At the back of the upper circle is a nicely fitted bar, and at the side of the circle is arranged a lounge, which will form a welcome retreat for such as desire to have a chat or smoke a cigar in peace, and even from here an excellent view of the stage can be had. Similar lounges are also fitted up under the boxes. Especial care has been taken to secure proper ventilation for the build- ing—a very necessary step, for few places can become so hot and stuffy as a music hall. However, there is no need for any fear in this direction in regard to the Tonypandy Empire Theatre of Varieties, The most modern ventilators have been called into requisition, while air shafts to the roof from the pit enable the air t& be renewed in the lower portion of the building. ITie most elaborate pre- cautions have been taken to secure against all danger from fire. It is worthy of mention that in no case is the cltiQr used as an entrance—to no matter what part of the building—employed as an exit as well. There are a number of extra exits, opening out to the sides and back of the building, rendering escape easy. Fireproof material has been utilised to its fullest extent; indeed, wood has played a very small part in the con- struction of the building. The stairs leading to the different parts of the building are of stone and easy to mount. The manager and clerks will have no cause t° complain of close quarters, for the offices provicM for^ these gentlemen are of a most convenient nature. The general impression that tue build- ing gave me was one of great strength, beauty and comfort, and I congratulate Mr. William Morgan upon the result of his efforts. It was Mr. Morgan who, struck with the unique position of this site for the purpose to which it has been utilised, secured the ground, got together the syndicate to erect the building, car- ried out the negotiations with the lessees, and, in fact, has been the moving spirit of the whole undertaking. The London syndicate who have acquired the lease, have elected Mr. Morgan as one of the directors, and have appointed Mr. S. M. B. Hoole, late of the Hippodrome, Crouch End. N., as manager of the Tony- pandy Empire. The formal opening will take place on Friday, when many of those people who have so frequently passed it while it was building, and have speculated upon what it would look like inside when completed, will be able to satisfy their curiosity. To commemorate the ceremony a luncheon will be provided on the stage for upwards of 100 invited guests, when Mr. Leonard Llewelyn will preside. I venture to predict that on Monday night the auditorium, which will accom- modate about 2,000 persons, will be filled to overflowing with an audience who will be agreeably surprised, and find their rosiest anticipations fulfilled beyond measure.

--Co-operation and Competition.
Co-operation and Competition. A nublio meeting was held at Old Bethania Chapel, Tonypandy, on Wednes- day, the 3rd inst., under the auspices of the Mid-Rhondda Co-operative Society, when Mr. G. H. Bibbings, B.A., Vaydif-r,, delivered a lecture on The Relation of Co-operation and Competition." Mr. Ben Davies presided. The speaker explained that the law of competition extended throughout the jMii verse. It was natural; but in olden days iu }ValS a, competition of desIre-a. desire to help Olie's TieigiiuvW, WOT it meant fightiiig-fighting to get above one another, not caring whether in doing so they threw their rivals into poverty. Money-getting was the object aimed at with the result that one man wag obliged to overburden himself with sweated labour for a poor living, whilst the other got all profits. Co-operation, continued the speaker, did away with all this. All were equally improved by it.

All roads out of Bucharest are closed. The first heavy snow of the season is proving a challenge, even for seasoned Romanians. As the locals continue to persevere with their daily business, a group of marooned IARD (International Architectural Regeneration & Development) students turn their attention to the virgin snow of their nearest park. The awe inspired by the conditions varies, from grumbles of cold feet to the excitement of experiencing snow for the very first time. Amidst the musings somebody mutters the word 'Igloo' and the challenge becomes clear.
Without the conditions to cut blocks of ice in the traditional manor it is decided that a mould would be required to generate building blocks of compacted snow. Adapting to their environment, the students set about sourcing the appropriate tools. Yards away from the site, a corner shop yields results in the form of a mop bucket and dustpan, tools that turn out to be highly suitable for adhoc, urban igloo construction.
Theorists among the group express concerns over the dislocated vernacular of the Igloo, answered by questions of the very definition of vernacular and whether it need be historical or even traditional at all, whether local materials, tools and craftsmanship are equally defining.
Following the successful casting of a test block, an area of snow is cleared and a rough circle is drawn with a diameter somewhere between an optimistic ten feet and a sceptical five. The first block course acts as a calibrator for the block casting technique which quickly becomes the first skilled role on the build. Certain attributes of the process, including the several rounds of compacting during the bucket filling and the desired smooth finish to the base of the block become the coveted intricacies of that particular craft. The second skill to emerge is that of mortaring between blocks and preparing for the next course, something that requires patience and a gentle hand. Master builders start to emerge in the various trades just as team members begin to falter and retreat to the warmth of the hostel, in the fast paced training and handing over of tasks, the knowledge and experience of the craftsmen is apparent in their protectiveness of the correct technique.
As construction speed increases with the confidence of experience it becomes clear that brick production needs to be accelerated. Much to the dismay of the group's would-be quantity surveyors, the decision is made to double the build cost to almost twenty five Romanian Leu (five pounds) with the purchase of a second bucket and dustpan.
With the height of the structure escalating there is growing concern over the prospect of angling the walls into a roof to complete the dome. The need to decrease the size of the blocks becomes apparent but without a smaller mould it is necessary to cut the blocks insitu, the process of resizing offers the opportunity to chamfer the top of each course providing the desired angle to start leading the walls inwards. As the overall shape of the structure changes from simple cylinder to something vaguely igloo-like, the most sceptical of the group begin to see the real promise of a completed dwelling.
Throughout the build passers-by are both mystified and enthusiastic. The Igloo becomes a temporary Bucharest celebrity as locals come to have their photographs taken with it, greeting the construction team with interest and encouragement.
Inevitably the onset of darkness increases the pressure to reach practical completion. As the temperature drops, fingers and joints become stiffer and dexterity is severely affected but the conditions are ideal for the construction material and bonding greatly improves as the most technically challenging stages of the construction begin. With an increase of pace problems arise, sub-standard building blocks are having to be rejected and inadequate mortaring culminates in a near wall collapse. The event only highlights the need for patience and respect for the materials. As the curvature of the walls intensifies one of the most overlooked trades begins to show its worth, the gentle methodical work of the external plasterer reveals itself as pivotal to the adhesion of the blocks.
Working above head height to install keystones is physically demanding and as staff turnover rapidly increases, the passing on of skills becomes a furiously intense process. The construction of an entrance arch tests patience and skill and the experience built-up over the course of the project is invaluable. The final task is to connect the arches with the main dome. Being over six foot tall becomes an essential trait as the constructors work shoulder to shoulder holding blocks in place while the mortar is teased into the joints. With completion in sight, the structure becomes ever more stable as every block placed seals out the wintery elements.
Twelve hours from conception, after eight and a half hours on site, the build is complete, a testament to local materials, the dedication and skill of true craftsmen and the questionable use of spare time by IARD students. On a freezing January night as snowfall continues in the darkness of Bucharest, an Igloo offers shelter.
Not sure why I received this notification of a new post, Trevor, but I did enjoy reading it again!

Fox claimed: "They couldn't remake it because it would destroy it, but I've always loved The Lost Boys."

Megan may have recently quit the Transformers franchise, but the actress also revealed that she will not be making any romantic comedies just yet as she feels that she 'isn't old enough.'
Fox stated: "I'm wary of doing romantic comedies, you could end up doing them all the time. Business-wise, those movies are very safe."
The actress continued: "But I'm 24, I don't belong in a romantic comedy yet. A black comedy like Jennifer's Body maybe, but I don't know if I could do something like The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants."

Please feel free to get in touch here, there or really anywhere. I'm really pleased to hear from readers.
Rosina Lippi is a former academic and tenured university professor. Since 2000 she has been writing and researching, haunting the intersection where history and storytelling meet. She does this by wallowing in 19th century newspapers, magazines and and street maps and consuming a lot of academic historical research. And she never gets bored with any of it.
Most writers of historical fiction are obsessive-compulsive. That's her story and she's sticking to it.
As Sara Donati she is the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in the vast forests in upstate New York from about 1792-1825, with particular attention to the War of 1812. Her newest novel about the Bonner family (forthcoming 2015 with Berkley Books) is The Gilded Hour which jumps ahead two generations to follow Nathaniel and Elizabeth Bonner's grand- and great granddaughters into the twentieth century.
Rosina writes contemporary novels (and academic work, for example here). The majority of her book reviews can be found at Goodreads; you can also find her on Facebook and (less often) Twitter (@RosinaLippi). She lives on Puget Sound with her husband, daughter, a rambunctious dog and murderous cat.
Sara lives with Rosina and her family, but refuses to answer the phone, do windows or make herself useful in any way at all.


Ben Duckett has been selected as part of the Lions squad who will travel to Australia this winter to take part in a training camp in November and December.
They then head west to Perth for two weeks focusing on white-ball skills during which they will play three T20 matches against a Scorchers team who will be preparing for the Big Bash.
Duckett is one of four members of the squad who have played Test cricket, with Keaton Jennings, Tom Westley and Mark Wood also selected. The Lancashire all-rounder Liam Livingstone is the fifth member of the squad with senior international experience.
In addition Chris Silverwood, the head coach of the county champions, will join the Lions for a second consecutive winter, as fast bowling coach - with Adam Hollioake, the former Surrey and England captain, also appointed as fielding coach.
Porter and Lawrence made their debuts for the Lions this summer and the England selectors have included four players yet to play for the Lions – Dom Bess, Paul Coughlin, Alex Davies and Amar Virdi – although both Bess and Virdi spent time training with the Lions squad in the summer, and Coughlin played in the North-South Series earlier this year.
James Whitaker, the National Selector, said: "This camp provides an opportunity for emerging young talent and some players with international experience to work hard on their game in Australia, in excellent facilities, under the guidance of Andy Flower and our other lead coaches. The players selected have a range of experience, and we believe they are an exciting group.
Lions: Dom Bess (Somerset), Joe Clarke (Worcestershire), Paul Coughlin (Durham/Nottinghamshire), Alex Davies (Lancashire), Ben Duckett (Northamptonshire), George Garton (Sussex), Nick Gubbins (Middlesex), Tom Helm (Middlesex), Keaton Jennings (Durham/Lancashire), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Jack Leach (Somerset), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Jamie Porter (Essex), Amar Virdi (Surrey), Tom Westley (Essex), Mark Wood (Durham).

Short Story: Is This Closet Mine or Yours?
Blythe stared up the ceiling, silently begging the Creators to grant her patience. Sol was the only person on the planet who could get into an argument with a cat.
"Is this closet mine or yours?"
Sol's affronted voice echoed through the wagon, breaking the comfortable silence of a lazy afternoon. Adair, who had been sitting at Blythe's feet, lost in whatever he was sketching, instead lost control over his pencil. Blythe heard a snap and then a curse, then Adair went scrambling. As he wedged himself half under the couch, Blythe simply lowered her crochet and stared in the direction of the kitchen. This raised so many questions. When did Sol come in without them noticing? How long had he been in there? How did he fit in there? And the most important question...
"Why is he in the pantry?" she hissed to Adair who she just knew was going to get himself stuck. It wouldn't be the first time she had to tug him free after an attempted pencil rescue.
He gave her a muffled "It's Sol, don't ask," and went back to reaching. For Petra's sake, there was an entire jar of pencils not three feet away. Blythe snatched one and tapped him on the butt with it. She'd have preferred to knock some sense into him via a different appendage, but his head was trapped in the world of dust bunnies and missing art supplies. He must have realized this pencil was a lost cause, too, because he sighed and scooted backwards, taking the one she held with a look of resignation. Good, maybe now that he was paying attention, he could help her figure out why their friend was in the pantry muttering about how it belonged to him. Sol didn't even live here.
She brushed the expected fuzz from Adair's hair and called out, "Solei, who the frit are you talking to?"
From the pantry came the sound of a scuffle, as though Sol tried to move quickly in a space that barely fit him in the first place. "Willow's trying to steal my closet!"
"She probably wants you to feed her." Adair, seemingly unfazed by the situation, had one eye shut and was squinting at the pencil. It was a pencil. It was identical to the previous one in every way, except in not currently being lodged under the couch. Although if he kept staring at it much longer, Blythe was going to dump the entire jar behind inaccessible pieces of furniture.
The pantry door popped open and a perplexed cat was deposited on the other side. It opened again just long enough for a can to roll across the floor.
"She's not going to eat chickpeas," Adair pointed out as the cat began washing herself with a hauteur that suggested she was above dealing with stupid humans. She probably was.
Blythe certainly wished she was. With a roll of her eyes, she went over to stand next to the door. "Sol, why are you in the pantry?"
A clatter followed by "ow ow ow ow ow" came from inside.
That really wasn't an answer. She caught sight of Adair going after the damn pencil again and nudged him with her foot. "You speak Sol. Get him to come out."
Clattering became a loud crash. Now Adair's attention was caught. He clambered to his feet and pushed at the door with all of his strength. The door remained stuck. "When did we get a lock?" he muttered, then said louder, "If those were my preserves smashing on the floor, you're in a lot of trouble! I'll do something drastic!"
He paused and scrunched up his nose, apparently catching on to how untrue his statement was. "Okay, wait. I'll... I'll send Blythe in there! And she'll do something drastic!"
"Oh no you don't! You're not bringing me into his nonsense. Not this time." Sol's groaning and grumbles were mostly covered by her vehement words, which was all for the better. She was sick of always being the one used as a threat. What would she do, anyway? Drag Sol out of the pantry by his collar and toss him out the door? He was a grown man, for Petra's sake. So was Adair. They could sort out the jelly situation on their own.
She had just picked up her yarn and hook when the door flew open. Unfortunately it was not the one Sol blocked, which meant another member of her wonderful family was about to be bothersome. Sure enough, Dray stalked and seethed their way into the wagon with their entire body wreathed in flame. Through gritted teeth they asked, "Where's. My. Bracelet."
Blythe didn't even look up. It would only encourage Dray and she was done encouraging any of these dorks. Sol could stay in the pantry and Adair could live under the couch if it meant she could have some pleasant silence again. "I don't know. Where'd you lose it? Why would it be here?"
Dray didn't live here either, although you wouldn't know it from the way they constantly barged in. "I did not 'lose it'. I keep a good eye on my possessions, unlike some people."
Dray's comment was directed at Etri who had slunk in behind them. Etri did live here, but if he decided to also be a pest, Blythe wasn't above kicking him out, too.
Without a word, Etri rested his hand lightly on Dray's shoulder. There was an audible hiss as the fire snuffed out, instantly lowering the temperature of the room. Dray spun around and glared at him. "I hate when you do that! Did I say you could touch me?"
"I did not say you could burn down my home, so I believe we are even." Etri's tone remained as neutral as ever, however his words were perfectly arranged to continue the quarrel.
Of course they would be. Creators forbid the others allow Blythe silence for five minutes. Knowing she wouldn't be able to focus on stitches with all this distraction, she slid the hook inside the skein of yarn and placed the blanket aside again. If she stayed out of this, maybe everything would fizzle out and they would all leave.
A girl could dream.
While Dray spluttered that they were in complete control over their fire, Etri held up an hourglass-- or what was left of an hourglass.
A thud pulled Blythe's attention away and over to Adair who had given up on trying to pry the door open. With one final kick, he let the cat take over. Willow, presumably unimpressed by the idea of a dinner of chickpeas, began to scratch at it after Adair walked over to the others. "I'm pretty sure that's supposed to have sand."
"Yes. Strange, is it not? Hourglasses do require sand, so I wonder what could have happened to the grains once inside."
"Maybe there's a crack in-"
"It's only a stupid piece of glass," Dray scoffed, cutting off Adair's suggestion. "You can use it as a paperweight or get another one. The bracelet was made custom and is worth far more than- can you shut the cat up?"
Adair scooped up the meowing cat before she could swipe at the pantry door again. "Willow! Bad! No damaging our house!"
Willow let out a startled "mrrrt" before beginning to purr, showing a feline's usual reaction to being chastised. At least one being in the room was content. Blythe doubted ear scratches would work on any of the others.
"Thank you." Dray spun on their heels to glare up at Etri again. "As I was saying, a bracelet is worth far more than a simple timer."
"This 'simple timer' is irreplaceable and held the exact amount of sand to guarantee safe passage to the place of shadow."
Adair, now having a conversation directed solely at the animal held in his arms, pushed against the pantry door with his shoulder. "Look, as soon as I can get this open I'll feed you something better than legumes."
Blythe's plan to let everything fizzle clearly wasn't working. Someone needed to put a stop to this and it wasn't going to be any of the others at this rate, so once again it fell on her. While the cat could wait a few minutes for her to pry the door open to get her food, the bickering needed to stop five minutes ago. She rose to her feet and positioned herself between the arguing pair. They continued to squabble around her until she grabbed both by the hair and tugged to get their attention.
"What are you so upset about, anyway? We'll find the bracelet and... we'll get you more sand?" Blythe realized how stupid this sounded before the words finished leaving her mouth. She rallied and continued, "Arguing over what's more important won't fix anything."
"No, but it makes me feel better," Dray muttered as they carefully disentangled themself from her grip.
Blythe kept hold of Etri's hair, counting on Dray to follow through in a way she thought they might. Sure enough, Dray reached up to free Etri far more gently than someone might expect from two people who had just been in a heated argument. This is, if that someone didn't know them. As annoying as it was, bickering was how their friendship manifested. The only way she'd found to reliably stop one of their squabbles before it got to the point of wanting to bang her head against a wall was to give Dray and Etri a mutual enemy. Usually it forced them both to work together for a few minutes of blissful quiet. Occasionally it backfired and all three of them ended up covered in oatmeal. That had been a strange day.
Etri's lips twitched at his partner-in-crime before he focused on Blythe. "As I was going to ask Atair, where is Sol?"
Ahh, now they were getting somewhere! Everything always boiled down to Sol, didn't it? "He's in-"
Adair's words barreled over hers. "Sol who?"
"Sol who?" Dray scoffed. "Try your best friend who has a habit of taking stuff to use in his inventions. Ring a bell? Where is he?"
"Oh, that Sol. I dunno, I haven't seen him in days."
Dray's eye roll put Blythe's own to shame. It was probably all the makeup Dray wore accentuating their eyes. "You're a terrible liar considering the two of you were having a muffin eating contest this morning. Where are you hiding him?"
"Oh, right. The muffins..." Adair mumbled to himself. He proved Dray's point by adding, "I didn't hide him anywhere! Honest! He hid himself!"
Dray snorted and leaned over to look under the couch, like a six and a half foot tall man would fit. Blythe was surrounded by idiots. "Dray, he's in-"
A sneeze erupted from the kitchen.
"Ah. He's hiding in the pantry," Dray said.
Adair didn't comment, which was probably for the best. Sol, who would never know what was best if it bit him on the backside, said, "No..."
Dray strode over and shoved on the door to no more avail than Adair's effort. "Solei Celeste, what did you make?"
Sol all but whimpered. Use of his full name had that effect. "A mistake?"
"That wasn't what I meant and you know it."
"Nothing! I didn't make nothing!" The four outside the closet- minus the cat who was busy kneading Adair's arm- exchanged a look. That was as much of a lie as Adair claiming to not know who Sol was. When no one said anything, Sol continued, "I didn't! I had an idea and then I knew you guys would look for me so I've been hiding in here the whole time."
"If you didn't make anything, then where's our stuff?" Dray asked. "You have five seconds to hand it over. Five, Four-"
"Don't count at me! It's in the drawer of my workbench! I wanted to give it back, but I was afraid you'd be madder if you knew I took it."
"Too late." Dray shot an angry look at the pantry door before stalking back out of the wagon with Etri close at their heels.
When they were gone, Adair leaned his forehead against the pantry door. His voice was much calmer than Dray's when he said, "I have to get dinner started. Can you please open the door?"
There was a rustling and another crash that made Adair flinch, then Sol said, "I can't! I'm stuck!"
"You're the dope who went in there in the first place." Blythe pushed at the door only to have Sol cry out "ouch!" It did, however, open a crack, and she peeked in to see him wedged between the shelves, more or less upside down.
Adair put his eye to the opening. More concerned about dinner than his best friend, he asked, "I wonder if we have any crushed tomatoes?"
Sol's hand appeared under his nose. "Can we have this instead?"
Adair took the can and read the label. "Sol, this is cat food."
"I know! Willow says it's really good and I want to try it!"
Sometimes Blythe wondered if Sol really could talk to the cat. Most of the time she just wanted everyone to stop talking. She pulled the door shut and ignored Sol's pleas to get him unstuck. "You know what, Addy, let's just go out to eat. My treat. I bet we can find a place selling hot pepper chicken."
"Awww, that's my favorite! Bring some back? Please?"
Ha, she knew that might work. Sol enjoyed food almost as much as Adair did. "If you promise not to go in there again."
"But it's my hiding place!"
Almost. A bribe that would have worked on Adair failed on Sol. It did, however, give Blythe ideas for the next time Adair tried to wedge himself under the couch.
She grabbed her coat and nodded to Adair who was giving the cat food to its intended recipient. "Come on. We'll leave the pantry to think about what it's done. We can grab a crowbar on the way back."
(I'm pretty sure the sentence prompt I'm using as a title/first line was one I borrowed from a writing friend, but it was too perfect not to use for my dorks! This story would take place sometime after the trilogy and is a look inside the daily life of my characters- cats, pencils, arguments, and all.)

I would like to share with you a link to a truly glorious archive on Wiki Commons, but first some information about the artist.
the author of these photos was Narcyz Witczak-Witaczynski who was a career Polish soldier and a popular photographer of Polish world between the wars, especially of Polish cavalry.
so born in Warsaw in 1898, in 1915 and being only 17 years old he run away from home to join the uhlans of Polawy Legion, then a part of the Russian Imperial Army.
The Pulawy Legion uhlans were converted into the 1st uhlan regiment in April 1917, and continued fighting on the Russia's western front against the Germans and increasingly against the marauding Russian army deserters and communists and banditry.
They fought the famous and nowadays forgotten battle of Krechowce near Stanislawow (present day Ukraine) on July 24, 1917.
For his actions at Krechowce young uhlan Narcyz was awarded a silver cross of Virtuti Militari (in 1921).
In Septemebr 1917 the regiment became a part of the First Korpus Polski under general Dowbor-Musnicki and engaged in fighting the communists and protecting the countryside, which led to fighting against the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution. In May 1918 upon the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and especially under the pressure from the German Army the Korpus Polski was disbanded and soldiers were left to fend for themselves. Young Narcyz was captured and arrested by the Bolsheviks and forced into a Bolshevik cavalry unit known as Masovian Regiment of Red Uhlans, where in fighting near Kazan he was wounded while trying to cross over to the other side. When his Red Ulans unit was disbanded he was mustered into the 1st Latvian Cavalry Regiment (Red Army), He run away near Riga but was captured and held in Mitawa (Jelgava) by the Bolsheviks until the city was taken by the German army and he became a prisoner of war of the Germans. Sent to Frankfur on Oder River as a prisoner/deportee he run away and returned to Poland in July 1919. On July 22, 1919 he returned to the Polish military, joining the 1st Uhlan Regimen (Krechowiecki). From there he was ordered to the Szwadron Przyboczny Naczelnika Państwa ( Chief of State Guard Squadron). He campaigned in the Ukrainian front of the Polish-Bolshevik war in 1920 and after the war continued to serve in the Guard squadron until its dissolution in 1926 upon the May Coup d'Etat by Pilsudski. Then he was order to the NCO school, worked for the Ministy of Military Affairs and eventually in 1928 he returned to serve in the 1 Pułk Szwoleżerów Józefa Piłsudskiego (1st Regiment of Lancers of Jozef Pilsudski), where this regiment served as a de facto guard unit to the head of state.
In September 1931 he was ordered to the 1 Pułk Strzelców Konnych (1st Regiment of Chasseur a Cheval ) where he was stationed until the beginning of the World War II.
As a chorazy he drove along with the his chasseur a cheval regiment to fight during the September invasion of Poland (1939) ( the chasseurs dismounted their horses for the last time in June '39 and were turned into motorized 'cavalry' and became part of the Warszawska Brygada Pancerno-Motorowa during that summer of 1939) and shared the fortunes and misfortunes of his unit that ended destroyed during the fighting around Tomaszow Lubelski.
It was a sad war, mostly because with an able army and spirited population (although about a third of the 35 million of Polish citizen were minorities rather more than less estranged from the Polish state) the dictatorial government consisting of top officers of the Polish military mixed with some civilian leadership had been duped into an empty, paper-only alliance with Britain and even more droll one with France in the Spring of 1939 that promptly led to a solitary war with Hitler's Germany and Hitler-allied Stalin's Soviet invasion of Poland (respectively on September 1 and September 17), thus a complete obliteration of the 2nd Polish Republic and her elites between the fall of 1939 and Soviet Conquest 1944-45.
Pan Narcyz, returning from the war to his town of Garwolin in the fall 1939, joined the underground armed struggle against the Germans, run the counterintelligence unit of the local chapter of the Union of Armed Struggle and Home Army, was arrested by the Germans in July 1942, held at the Pawiak notorious and heinous German prison, and then the Germans murdered him in Majdanek on March 27, 1943.
He was an photographer since 1919, eventually became known for his art in the army and outside, and was one the few who were being allowed to photograph Jozef Pilsudski.
His photographs appeared in numerous magazines like 'Wiarus,' Jedziec i Hodowca,' Polska Zbrojna & Ilustrowany Kurier Codzienny.
Today, almost 5000 [sic!] of his photos are available at wiki commons and National Digital Archive of Polish Republic (NAC). They were given to NAC by pan Narcyz' grandson Jerzy Witczak and great grandson Rafal Rekawek in 2014.


In a very Donald Trump-like move, the president tweeted a very bold, combative message only an hour after tweeting "Happy Easter" on Sunday. Trump is no longer supporting DACA, a move that he naturally discussed on his favorite social media platform.
In one tweet, Trump eloquently wrote, "NO MORE DACA DEAL," along with a string of reasons why he has flopped back to the disapproval of the program that supports dreamers. He tweeted, "Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. "Caravans" coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!"
In another tweet, he wrote, "Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S. They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!"
The President is spending Easter Sunday at Mar-a-Lago with First Lady Melania Trump and daughter Tiffany. According to NY Daily News, before Trump attended Easter service, he told reporters the U.S. needs to focus on border security. "Mexico has got to help us at the border," he said. "A lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of DACA." It is unclear what exactly provoked the president to bring up this topic once again.
Trump moved to end the DACA program in September 2017, but lawmakers were given six months to come up with a solution or alternative to the program. Trump again blamed the Democrats for not reaching a solution. "They had a great chance," Trump told reporters. "The Democrats blew it." President Trump implied that he might do away with the DACA budget since an alternative has not been found.

Albert Goodman accountant, expert witness in legal inheritance case
I am sure that almost all the readers of this article will have heard of cowshed Cinderella. This was the case of a farming family in Wales, where one daughter Eirian Davies claimed that she had been promised the farm.
Eirian worked on the farm and was paid very little, with the understanding that the farm would pass to her one day. Unfortunately, Eirian and her parents fell out, and a battle commenced, with Eirian winning the legal case, and substantial compensation.
Since then there appears to have been a number of legal cases where family members say that they have been promised part or all of a business, and for one reason or another they have not received what they believe they were promised.
There was another recently published case called Habberfield versus Habberfield, in relation to a farming business near Yeovil, Somerset.
Lucy Habberfield left school in 1983 and came home to work on the family farm. At about that time the dairy herd was set up on the farm, and Lucy started a full time job of milking and looking after the cows. At around that point, Lucy's father said to her that "they are your cows, and if you want them you should milk them".
Lucy worked on the farm for many years, but acrimoniously left the farm in 2013 after a fight with her sister Sarah. Lucy's father, Frank, died in 2014 and as the property was held as beneficial joint tenants with his wife Jane, the farm passed to Lucy's mother. Following her father's death Lucy did not receive the farm or the farming business.
Lucy then claimed the farm, on the basis of the promises she believed were made to her, by her late father. According to the judge in the case, there were various representations made by Frank, using different words, but they fit together and amount to a coherent promise to Lucy that she would inherit a viable dairy farm.
In cases such as these the determining factors are as follows.
That one party made a promise to the other.
That the promise was relied upon.
That the individual acted to their own detriment.
In this case, the judge decided that Frank had made, what amounted to a coherent promise that Lucy would inherit the farm, and that Lucy had relied upon his promise.
With regard to detriment, the judge decided that Lucy was paid lower than she could have reasonably expected to be paid for her work, long hours, few holidays and the continued commitment to the farm.
Therefore the judge found in favour of Lucy. He then decided that suitable recompense was that Lucy be paid a sum of £1.17 million, which was the value of the dairy farm (excluding the farmhouse).

THE ROLE OF THE ACCOUNTING EXPERT IN HABBERFIELD VERSUS HABBERFIELD
Whilst we are accountants, not lawyers or barristers, we do get involved in legal cases, often as expert witnesses, either for one party, or jointly appointed by both parties to a case.
The role of an expert witness is to provide opinions and technical analysis, which will help the court reach its decision. In the case of Habberfield versus Habberfield, I was appointed a joint expert by both Lucy and her mother Jane, with the aim of providing expert evidence to assist the case.
In this case, part of the method of determining whether Lucy acted to her own detriment was decided by examining the level of drawings that Lucy received from the business, and comparing this to the wages that Lucy would have been paid at open market value.
My role was to calculate the remuneration that Lucy would have received from 1983 until 2013 based upon various assumptions.
This involved assessing the pay for an agricultural worker doing Lucy's work. This was a long process as it covered a period of 30 years. This included spending time getting acquainted with the old Agricultural Wages Orders, then making judgements with regard to the type of work undertaken and the wages that would be paid for that work.
The results are then summarised in a report for court, with the aim of assisting the court to reach its decision. Whilst the work can be onerous it is also very satisfying. In the case of Habberfield versus Habberfield, my calculations were taken as fact, without me being cross examined in court, and the information used to help the judge in reaching his assessment of the case.


Poor diet is associated with many of the chronic diseases we see increasing in the United States, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. And, we are seeing diabetes in an alarmingly high number of younger and younger children. Although there have been many new takes on the original food "pyramid" released by the Department of Agriculture in 1992, we know that a healthy diet includes multiple servings of various grains, fruits, and vegetables per day, and limits the amount of saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and sugar that we consume.
The best way to teach children about nutrition and healthy eating is with a combination of actual food experiences and fun lessons that back up the real life learning. Hands-on nutrition activities help kids develop healthy eating habits and can complement other learning, for example math, science, language, social development, cooperation, and respect for culture. Then we can support this learning by incorporating food themes into other classroom activities.
Help build self-esteem at the same time you teach good eating habits! Allow children to plan, prepare, and serve simple nutritional snacks. Some fun ideas: create smiling faces using rice cakes, cheese and cherry tomatoes; instead of popsicles, make frozen banana sticks or freeze applesauce; make ants on a log (celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins). Kids won't always like new foods, but if you introduce them in small portions and allow children to participate in in the preparation, it is easier to encourage them to taste their creations.
Create a food themed center in your classroom, where all the games and activities in the center are related to food. For example, add food group puzzles, food bingo, food memory games, food themed books, and food posters for decoration.
As part of your math lesson, look at, and even prepare recipes. If you add 1 Cup of Flour and 1 Cup of sugar, how many Cups do you have now?
Use both real fruits and vegetables and pictures of fruits and vegetables to examine the edible parts of various plants. You could even conduct a taste-test on a variety of raw and cooked vegetables. Children can then discuss the nutritional value of each vegetable. Children can also work together to make vegetable soup and create labels for their own soup cans.
In relation to your social studies lessons on other cultures, work in the particular foods from a culture as a theme for a day's meals and snacks. Discuss at mealtimes how factors such as climate, availability of water, and trade customs might help shape food habits. Learn some of the food words in the language of the culture of the day.
Under adult supervision, young children can bake their own whole grain breads. Make it fun by shaping the dough into different animal shapes. Discuss the importance of integrating whole grains into your diet.
This type of outing will put children in touch with local surroundings and create an awareness of how food is grown and sold in places other than a supermarket.
It is important that parents, caregivers, and teachers work together to establish a mutual understanding of how best to meet each child's individual nutritional needs. And we should try to reinforce our healthy eating lessons throughout the day, both at school and at home. Offering some take-home activities for parents to try over the weekends is a great way to make sure that the lessons carry over to home, as well. Teaching children to eat wisely and moderately is an investment in the future, and establishing healthy eating habits in the early years is not only important, but we now know it can also be fun!
Aside from eating healthy young, what else can you do to support healthy habits in your children. Visit our other nutrition blog articles to learn more.

Washington lawmakers, officials and members of the public file into the Capitol Rotunda to pay tribute to George H.W. Bush as his body lies in state.
As America celebrates the life of President George H.W. Bush and the "kinder and gentler" era in politics he represents, the current president, who rose to power in open mockery of that style of democracy and who hates to surrender center stage, will have to endure the tributes from a pew in the audience.
President Trump plans to attend Bush's state funeral Wednesday but is not scheduled to speak, according to the list of eulogizers released by the Bush family on Monday, marking the first time in nearly half a century — since President Nixon failed to eulogize Lyndon B. Johnson — that a sitting president has been left out of the memorial of a predecessor.
The omission will put the cultural and personal gulf between Trump and Bush and what they represent in sharp relief. It will force the White House for the second time in a little over three months to deal with inevitable and unflattering comparisons to a well-liked predecessor.
Unlike Sen. John McCain, whose family kept Trump out of his funeral entirely and used the September service to highlight their differences, President Bush and his family chose not to make a loud statement with his funeral, even though Trump built his political brand in large part by mocking the Bushes and everything they stood for.
Presidential funerals are planned years in advance, with even the most mundane details accounted for. Bush, who believed strongly in the dignity of the office, appears to have sided with history in welcoming Trump to attend, preserving decades of tradition when it comes to sitting presidents.
"His respect for the presidency meant that, just as he wanted President Trump invited to his funeral, he was always trying to figure out how to make it work," said Sen. Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican who early in his career worked in Bush's administration and last visited him in September at Bush's family retreat in Maine.
Moreover, Trump's central economic policy is a repudiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada. The pact was negotiated by George H.W. Bush, and Trump has called it "stupid," a "disaster," "job-killing" and the "worst trade deal" ever made.
In choosing nominees for staff positions and judgeships, Trump is known to look askance at people who served in the administration of either Bush, though Trump has found it impossible to blackball all of them, given their prevalence in Republican politics.
Even as the eldest Bush grew older, frailer and more well-liked by the American public, Trump continued his assault on the family, choosing a few months ago to mock Bush's signature slogan for volunteerism as the silliest form of "presidential" rhetoric and a contrast to his own nationalist branding.
Trump has kept such insults at bay since Bush's death Friday night, releasing a magnanimous statement and canceling a news conference in Argentina planned for Saturday, which he said was out of respect.
But as Bush remembrances dominated cable news Monday, and the former president's casket made its way from Texas to the Capitol, where he would lie in state, Trump let off a slew of angry tweets about the special counsel investigation that has engulfed his presidency, displaying his reluctance to put his own grievances on hold amid the mourning.
Trump's allies say he is likely to be on his best behavior during the tributes to Bush, however, in gratitude that he was at least invited to the funeral.
Marc Short, a former legislative affairs director for Trump, predicts the media will make more of the comparisons with Bush than Trump will.
Caputo, who worked for Bush as well, said the Bush family had arguably more reason to resent Trump than did the family of McCain, whose military service was mocked by Trump.
Former presidents tend to see their public approval rise as their tenure slips further into the rear view. And Bush is no exception. A February poll by Gallup showed his approval at 64% — higher than any living ex-president at the time and third highest among the last 10 presidents.
Trump, by contrast, has suffered some of the lowest approval numbers of any recent president through much of his tenure, usually at least 20 percentage points below Bush's. His allies say he is merely a casualty of a rougher moment in politics, rather than, as his critics charge, a symbol and cause of the nation's polarization.
But Bennett believes Bush is also a symbol of the rejection Trump has long felt from the establishment, despite his efforts to brand himself as a wealthy celebrity.
Indeed, in 1988, when Trump openly campaigned to be Bush's running mate, Bush saw the lobbying, one of the first signs of Trump's political ambition, as not only unseemly but also ridiculous.
But it was not just in style that the two men differed. Bush painstakingly built an international coalition to invade Iraq. He worked to expand NATO when the Soviet Union fell. He so much valued international cooperation that his critics accused him of ignoring domestic concerns.
Trump once called NATO obsolete and has ridiculed other international pacts as signs of American stupidity and weakness.
Portman, who stood quietly in the rear when he attended his one and only Trump rally in his home state in October, is one of many in his party caught between the two men's visions for the presidency and the Republican Party.
"Donald Trump ran a presidential campaign saying all those things, and he won Ohio by 8 points," Portman said, reflecting on some of the insults Trump lobbed at the Bush family and others. "President Bush respected that. He respected the presidency. But he also looked for ways to work together.
