Chapter 1.6
He had nodded in agreement, and they stepped and stomped their way across the hall with the energy fitting for a first dance. They were a mismatched pair, the tall and womanly princess bending down to face the little prince with a gap-toothed smile. James had thrown off his shirtsleeves and came back to ask for Catalina's hand for the second dance, to which she happily obliged. The young prince was exhausted by the third song, during which the Wilderosean princess waltzed with the Duke of Bolenurm. She danced her last dance with the Count of Visconti, then retired to her seat early so that she would be there when Jamie went looking for her. The boy came to her side after the fifth jig, just as promised, with flushed cheeks and shining eyes.
"Please finish telling it now," he begged her as he settled himself upon a plump chair.
"You will never relent, will you?" she said affectionately, already liking this boy as much as though he was her own brother, "All right, where was I? The Battle Raven and her campaigns?"
"Yes, and also where you were during all this," he told her.
"My mother the Warrior Queen of Wilderose had told me and my sisters that none of us will become a Battle Raven like her, for she had wanted us to live a life more luxurious than her own," she began, "We were there during all the battles and all the crusades, of course, but she did not wish this hard life upon us for beyond our childhood. I grew up watching my parents lead countless wars, and my childhood was that of a wandering court, travelling across Wilderose as we conquered more and more land."
"So you lived in a camp for soldiers and knights, and had all the glory of conquerors?"
"Not all the time. There was a particularly hard year where we had to camp outside the fort of the Hastell, waiting for the right time to attack. An enemy had passed by our guards, and set alight our food store. It took some time for my parent's court to recover, but under father's iron will and mother's commanding hands, we conquered that fort."
"So you never had a real palace with a city and everything? It was always camps?"
"No, we did settle down eventually. The year I turned nine my parents drove a great attack towards the famed citadel of the Lindal, and we flew the blue and white flags of the Wilderose royal family overhead as we entered the fortress after a conqueror's victory. But that is a very long story, so I think I will keep it for another day."
"But the dance is barely over!" protested little Prince James, "You always end at the most exciting place!"
"It's late, Jamie," she said, subtly averting her eyes as he yawned, "Perhaps tomorrow, if you would grace me with your presence by my litter again."
"But that will be the last day of our journey," he told her, "What if you never finish telling me all of it?"
"We'll have all the days after my wedding to your brother," she assured him, "I think you will end up being bored to death of my stories."
"Never!" he told her, "Never ever ever, not until I grow old and looks like a prune! Promise me to keep telling me stories, even after I finish escorting you to your wedding?"
"Promise," she told him as she stood up, "Good night, my dearest Prince James. Until tomorrow."
"Good night sister," he told her, and squeezed both her hands heartily.
She said her round of farewells to the Count and Countess of Visconti and all their guests, then glided out of the dining hall with her three ladies at her heels. She was wearied to the very marrow of her bone, for the litter was rather uncomfortable and cold, but her conversations with her brother-in-law had brought much light to her dull day. In her room, she tore the veil off her face and stepped out of her pinching slippers. After some help from a very much moonstruck Adele, she slipped out of her gown and into a fine lawn nightdress, and had her pinned up curls plaited into a long braid down her back. Kneeling by the side of her bed, she prayed to the only true God there is for her parents' welfare. With her last whisper, she prayed that her husband-to-be will be as lively and caring as his little brother. If that one wish of hers was granted, two days from now she would step down from the altar as the happiest woman alive.

Iwelumo vows to repay faith
Chris Iwelumo has vowed to reward George Burley and the Scotland fans for sticking by him.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 20/11/08 6:00pm
Chris Iwelumo has vowed to reward George Burley and the Scotland fans for sticking by him.
The Wolves striker was handed his first international start against Argentina on Wednesday, little over a month after his glaring miss in a 2010 World Cup qualifier against Norway cost the Scots two crucial points on the road to South Africa.
The towering front-man could have been forgiven for cowering away from a possible repeat, but was full of gusto in the midweek friendly contest against Diego Maradona's side.
He claims words of encouragement from national coach Burley, plus positive energy from the fans, have helped him to put his Norwegian nightmare to one side.
"He (Burley) has got faith in me and I will repay that in whatever way I can," Iwelumo said.
"He put a lot of confidence in me after the Norway game. He thought all the other parts of my game were exceptional that day.
"Obviously, the chance is massive and everyone will remember that, but that's part and parcel of football.
"I came off the phone to him and I felt good.
"You always have that little doubt in your head though, so it's fantastic to start and I want many more.
"Scotland haven't seen the best of me, so hopefully if I get into future squads I can get that little bit of luck.
"I think as soon as you get that first goal, you just kick on from there."
Iwelumo also believes he has emerged as a stronger character from having to face his international demons.
"There were e-mails getting sent to Wolves every day from Scottish fans," he said.
"I thank all the fans, because it was fantastic to read them. It just shows there are a lot of good people out there."
The former St Mirren player added: "I thought the reception was great.
"Even after the miss during the match, they were cheering everything I was doing. That's fantastic, you take a lot of plusses from that.
"It does come into my head every now and again, but you have to let it go.
"It's definitely character-building. That's one of the reasons I was delighted to be back. I think it shows some kind of character to come and face the music."

Stevie Wonder performs at the concert for Nelson Mandela in 1988, the era of his album Characters (and nasty shoulder pads). Photograph: Eugene Adebari/Rex Features
There are certain artists, like David Bowie and Paul McCartney, who are forever damned with faint praise whenever they release a new album. Bowie has even joked how everything he releases is greeted with the news it's his "best since Scary Monsters", while McCartney must be sick of his otput constantly being compared to 1973's Band on the Run (not to mention his former band's output).
Much the same can be said of Stevie Wonder. His last truly critically-acclaimed album was 1980's Hotter Than July - and even Wikipedia dismiss the years 1979-1990 as his "commercial period"; which is clearly intended as a pejorative term, given the preceding years are described as his "classic period". But hidden amongst the schlocky hits and bizarre infomercial singalongs of that period was the sublime 1987 Characters album. The album's main single, Skeletons, was an obvious nod to the synth-driven funk of Superstition, and even appeared on the soundtrack to Die Hard. Sadly, the attempt to relive past glories was lost on his 80s audience (despite the rather obvious lyrical theme, one commentator on YouTube seems to have taken the song at face value: "It seems like this song would be played on Halloween because of its title. It's a good song though for any season.") Despite good reviews and a duet with Michael Jackson (Get It) the album was a flop. In the US, it was his first album for 15 years to miss the top five.
Just as galling, a second Wonder/Jackson duet, Just Good Friends, appeared on Jackson's Bad - the biggest selling album of the year (it's now shifted over 25m units).
Characters contained a number of other compositions that have now become live staples for Wonder - You Will Know, Dark 'n' Lovely, My Eyes Don't Cry - but he'd learned his lesson. A proposed Characters Vol 2 was shelved and, according to sources, he's still working on his best album since Hotter Than July ...

Inside of You
Disclaimer: Seriously, if I owned those characters I would have hung myself already for doing such a bad job writing the crap we got to watch last season.
A/N: I know the subject I'm dealing with in this story here is kinda tough and honestly I never wanted to write drama but sometimes life just doesn't ask for a happy fairytale and happens. Some of you might already know why I chose to write it. To the rest: I hope you like to follow my story of Luke and Lorelai dealing with something major happenings in their life. Enjoy.
The story is meant to happen during episode 7.04 when Lorelai and Christopher had their date. I'm sorry that Chris appears in this story but I promise to get rid of him soon ;)
Big thanks here to my beta readers Jessi and Elizabeth. You two are the best!
Side note: It's my third story written in English so please be nice :). I think I'll stick with T rating the whole story. And now enjoy. Reviewing is, of course, always appreciated :D
°°°°° Chapter One °°°°°
Sometimes the answer you have always looked for lies just inside of you.
It was her first date in almost two years and it was a first date with a man she had already had a lot of first dates with. However the time had never been right for them. At least that was what he had told her and she wanted to believe that.
When it came to Chris, her life usually turned into a disaster whenever he showed up, but after all that had happened with Luke he was the only one who still wanted her and wanted to do everything to make it work, and that was exactly what she needed at the moment. A man that would fight for her.
Although the idea of her and Chris as a couple made her feel sick, she was willing to give it a try. After all, he had always wanted to marry her ever since she had Rory and right now that her life was turned upside down she felt the confidence to start over with him. She was willing to forget how happy she had been with Luke. She wanted badly to forget the bad times that were haunting her sleep as well. She wanted her thoughts to be Luke-free and her head filled with memories that didn't hurt. Memories that didn't matter so much and weren't worth holding on to, and with Chris it could work.
So she got herself ready for her date even though it felt weird. She didn't dress up usually, being nervous at the same time about the choice of clothes. She never had had to impress Luke so he would find her sexy. Although she loved making him blush when she wore a short skirt and a top that would play with her female curves. He would look at her in amazement even if she would have worn just jogging pants and a shirt. He had been always that kind of guy that -- She had to stop thinking about the man she had left. It was not good to torture herself and to waste her time thinking of him. She had to focus on the man that would knock on her door soon to pick her up to a very romantic date.
Searching for something that Chris would like, she randomly chose the green dress hanging in the very back of her closet. She had bought it together with Rory when she had been depressed that her coffee maker broke and Luke didn't want to fix it within the next two days. That was because she hadn't listened to him when he had warned her not to plug it in the same outlet as the toaster, saying something about the power line and her circuit breakers. She had been stubborn and Luke had taught her the hard way by not fixing it immediately.
She smiled but it faded soon and turned into a low, calm breath. Of course, another memory of Luke. Another thing she had forgotten to pack into her garage. This man was impossible to get rid of! Everything she owned had a connection to him in some way or the other.
The thought itself caused her a second of a tummy ache and her eyebrows cocked. She got mad at him. Sure, it wasn't his fault that he was present everywhere, but how much did she had to suffer?
"Get finally out of my life!" she thought out loud and grabbed the dress. She would wear it. She would give it another meaning. It would become a dating dress she would choose to wear for Chris and it would no longer hang here and mock her. It looked too nice to be thrown into a box that would mold in her garage for decades. Plus he had told her that he had a surprise for her and she wanted to surprise him with her outfit.
She checked herself in the bathroom mirror as she heard the door bell ringing. She was planning to enjoy the evening. She wanted to experience the whole concept of a new man. She was sure about that and grabbed her lipstick to add some colour and give herself more confidence that this was the right thing to do. When she got on her shoes, she gave the mirror a last glance "I'm starting over today." she told her reflection and nodded while giving it a smile. She didn't know yet that the past would not allow that.
Their date went perfect. They watched a movie, picked up her mom from the police station, and were now heading for her home. Their date had had something romantic, something incredibly funny and now the part with trusting and letting someone into your life would start.
She had sorted it all out in her head while she had been away for her date. Luke had never been the one. It was Chris she had a daughter with. It was him who had wanted to marry her right from the start and he had been there when she had needed someone that night she broke up with Luke. And, after all, he still was here.
She felt happy when she had her mind finally agreeing with her. Her gaze fell on the man beside her and he smiled when she looked at him with her big blue eyes.
She glanced away quickly, though, to look out of the window and took a breath. Who was she kidding?
She didn't feel that ready for him. She didn't feel ready at all to start something new. She felt sick since she and Luke had broken up. She hadn't eaten much nor was she sleeping well. She tried to stop her mind from thinking by working like a horse. This thing here with Chris was a lie but she had to move on.
She looked over at him again and he placed a hand on hers. "Hey, you okay?"
"Yeah, everything is fine," she lied.
The truth was that because of the pain of losing her best friend and the love of her life she didn't feel well. The last weeks full of stress seemed to have had an effect on her. She felt blurry here and there, had been throwing up several times during the last weeks and tonight her belly was hurting from time to time. Of course her body had to mess with her on her date. Yet she didn't think about it much though. She blamed it on the food and that she probably didn't eat enough. And Chris didn't need to know about it. He had been sweet on the date and she would give him a chance to make this evening perfect.
She smiled at him but when she prepared her mind for where the evening might lead, she felt that pain again. It was sharp and she couldn't really decipher the source but it felt like one of her inner organs was cramping.
"Ouch…" she said as her hand went to her abdomen.
"You okay?" Chris asked.
"It's nothing," she waved him off. "Just… ouch," the cramp went right thru her whole body.
"Lor?" he asked again, a little bit worried.
"I.. I don't know. Your food is attacking me," she joked, trying to keep up the good mood.
"My food?"
"Well the food from the restaurant you picked!"
"It's not attacking me, so it must be you."
"How charming," she slapped him on the arm.
He chuckled at their bantering. He was proud that he was going home with her. It was really going well for him. She was open for new opportunities and he liked that. Maybe that diner owner wasn't that important to her after all.
His hand found hers and he intertwined their fingers. She smiled. The pain from two minutes ago had already subsided.
They arrived in the drive way just then and got out of the car together. The air was warm and Lorelai really was considering taking this date a little bit further. She really had had a nice evening. She had managed not to think about Luke the whole time and Chris was being very patient with her. And her stomach would calm down eventually.
"So Lorelai, what do you say about a glass of wine on the couch?" he asked, singing in her ear.
"Uhm.. why not," she answered and tried to get rid of the uneasiness that rushed through her veins. With one quick move she angled his forearm and was leading him in the direction of her front porch.
They didn't come far though. Someone stepped out of her garage, almost bumping into them.
"Oh I'm sorry Babette I didn't mean to take so lo.." the man trailed off when his eyes had finally managed to gaze up from the ground and he could see whom he had almost tripped over. The surprise was clearly written in his face. "Lorelai? Chr.." he swallowed realizing what kind of situation he must have disturbed. "Erm, don't feel bothered... I'll be gone soon."
Lorelai's heart sank.
Closing her eyes as if she could be somewhere else right now, she turned around "L.. Luke?" she managed with weak and shaky voice.
Her wishes weren't heard. She was right. There he was, Luke. The man who had been her fiancé three months ago. The man that had hurt her like no one else before and the one that made her still ache for him painfully.
"Wha.. what.. ar…" but her voice was just gone.
"I'm sorry to disturb you," he said sad with a glimpse of anger when he actually saw Christopher standing right next to Lorelai like it was the most normal thing in the world. "I.. " he took a deep breath and brought more force into the voice. "I was looking for a small metal thing from the boat. It must have fallen off when you sent it to me and since I cannot get it at a shop anymore because apparently the thing is as old as the boat itself, I thought it might still be in your garage."
Lorelai was still starring at him like she was in trance. Her breathing was calm and heavy at the same time. She hadn't seen him in weeks and of all the things in the world she did not wish to happen right now, Luke seeing her on a date with Christopher was definitely high on the list.
"Did you find anything?" he tried to sound hopeful.
"I cleaned the whole room after I got rid of all your stuff."
She sounded icy. It almost seemed like autopilot. The feeling of hurt transformed into a wall of defence when she saw him and he standing there in his blue flannel with his blue baseball cap looking at her like her Luke was like a dream out of an alternative universe. But she knew this here was real and the distance between both of them right there. It had been a desert of communication and now there was just silence left for them. Right now it was just too much for her to deal with.
Apparently her stomach agreed with her on that.
"Ouch," she felt a sharp pain and her hand went down to her abdomen immediately.
Chris saw her facial expression changing from shocked to painful and decided facing Luke and having trouble with the meal they had was not a good combination "Lorelai come on. Let's get into the house and have some ginger ale to get rid of your stomach ache."
Luke was about to say something but one sharp glance from Christopher silenced his concerned look. He couldn't do anything. He was not in the position anymore to be there for her. Even though his anger was rising with every minute because he knew exactly what Chris was up to, he stayed calm. It was none of his business anymore. He had to let her go.
Days after the break up he had already realized that Chris wasn't the only person to judge for what had happened that night. It had been him who hadn't been there for Lorelai in the first place and it was her who gave their relationship the final kick. They all had had their input in this mess and he knew that.
"Luke should go now," Chris stated as he wrapped one arm around Lorelai, who was just looking passively onto the ground, to make it even clearer he was now the man at Lorelai's side.
"Just.. just look out for her," he said quietly before he started moving away from the front yard.
"And Luke…."
"Yeah," he turned around.
"Just don't come here again. You have done enough for her already."
"Chris.." Lorelai spoke up to silence him with the annoyance in her voice. She didn't want to have an argument right now. She was tired and she still could feel her stomach hurting a little. She just wanted to get inside.
Luke took a sharp inhale through his clench teeth "You're not even worth arguing with," he shouted and began again to walk away.
"Don't play the puppy now that got kicked, man. What happened was your own fault," he snapped at him with a small smile appearing on his lips.
He really had to start this now.
"Chris…. Please," Lorelai shut her eyes tight and wished again to just disappear. She could already feel Luke's anger rising.
And as expected Luke stepped angrily forward "Hey, you don't have any right to judge.."
"Luke.." Lorelai pleaded desperately but she sensed it was already too late. They seemed to ignore her begging them not to fight. With a deep sigh, she let her head drop into her palms. "Here we go," she mumbled and listened to the two fighting testosterone-loaded males in her garden.
"I'm with her now. Don't you get that, diner man? I already told you once that you were just the 'for now' guy. Now, she left you," he said with disgust.
"You better shut up otherwise…"
"And if not then what? Will you punch me again like a jealous monkey? You lost her buddy. You messed up big time. She came to me," pointing with a finger at himself to make it visible to Luke that he wasn't welcome here anymore.
"And you couldn't be just a supportive friend, huh? You had to jump her right then,"' he yelled back in the same tone.
"Luke, Chris. Stop it!" Lorelai said angry. "This is not the time."
"Well actually Lorelai this is exactly the right time. Now that we're all here," Chris barked and got louder with every word, waving the red flag for all of them.
Lorelai jumped in. She had to end this. "Chris shut up! What happened between me and Luke is none of your business. I can speak for myself if I have to. I'm not a silly helpless girl that needs a macho man to yell at her ex boyfriend for her," she shouted at him, which caught him off guard.
"And Luke!" she turned faced him now. "You have no right to turn up and be moody on my date. You didn't want to have me. You didn't come after me. You let me go. You kept secrets. You have no reason to act jealous now. So go!" It was hard for her to throw all those things right at him. She knew she had been a factor as well but it was too much to take right now.
"You cheated on me Lorelai. You left me no choice. It had to be right then. You didn't give me time, neither to marry you nor to explain my situation."
"You kept your daughter from me. What is there to explain?" She was yelling now.
He was silent for a moment "And you had to go to him," his finger went to Chris. "Right after we broke up. Oh, sorry, after you broke up and forgot to tell me."
"After you didn't want to marry me."
"You gave me a stupid ultimatum!"
"And you pushed me away!" Her eyes were showing tears now and her voice got almost stuck in the flow of emotions that blurted out together with the words she directed at Luke.
"But him Lorelai? Really?" his finger remained on a lost-looking Christopher. "For god's sake we wanted to marry. We wanted to have kids. Did that mean anything at all to you?"
She just looked at him.
"And after a few weeks you're already dating him?" he continued "Dating the man who let you down with your child?"
That was a point and it hit her right in the guts. A wave of aching returned but she tried to swallow it and not to look weak.
"Hey, hey, hey," Chris interrupted him "You are telling me I'm not good for her? Look in the mirror, diner man. I didn't have secrets I hid from her."
"Chris please," she tried again to silence him but he wouldn't listen.
"And for the records: I did not abandon my daughter!" he continued. Throwing angry words on him.
"No, you just disappeared during history over and over again," Luke said flatly. He didn't have the energy and time to argue with this fool.
"And you?" he started laughing. "You cannot even give her a life. You don't even have enough money to buy yourself some proper clothes."
"I don't leave a woman alone with a newborn child!" he fought back.
"She was gone," he screamed.
"And you didn't search."
"Stop it!! Both of you!" Lorelai yelled at them. "Neither of you has the right to judge my life or the decisions I make and with whom I want to spend my time with."
"Well I'm sorry, Lorelai, that I care about you," Luke said upset and looked right into her eyes. She could feel the sadness that lay in his glance.
"It's too late, Luke," she responded calmer and shook her head when she fought back the tears that wanted to well up. She had a hard time looking him into the eyes. "It's too late now."
He lowered his head.
Chris on the other hand who was still angry about him ruining the evening he planned to have with Lorelai, walked right in front of him.
"Go now, diner man," he barked. "I'll send you a check so that you can buy whatever you need for that shipwreck of yours. Don't bother showing up again."
"Back away right now," he said while trying to keep control of his right fist.
"Chris! Luke! Can you two finally--" but she didn't speak any further. Her stomach hurt again and she pressed her hand hard against her belly, bending over a bit.
"Luke, she wants you to go. So leave," Chris insisted. But Luke ignored him and quickly got on Lorelai's side, touching her shoulders and trying to protect her from falling down.
When she felt his fingers on her, the next cramp followed and her breathing got faster.
"Lorelai are you alright?" he asked concerned although it was obvious that she was not.
"Ow!" A painful groan left her throat and the pain caused her to let herself sink to the ground. Both her arms were holding her tummy and her eyes got wet from the ache she felt inside her body.
"My god Lorelai, talk to me. What's wrong?" Luke was helpless and hated that he didn't know what was hurting her. He kneeled down next to her, running his eyes over her body to find a source for her sudden pain.
"Lorelai?" Chris shook her lightly, his voice also full of worry.
"Luuke…" she called his name and started crying. She was rocking back and forth on her knees with her upper body to breath through the pain. It was a pain she had never felt before in her life. It was as if something was pulling on her guts only to loosen them again and to tie a knot afterwards to have the opportunity to tear it apart.
"Luke," she grabbed his hand and he could feel her fingernails digging into it. She looked up at him with glassy eyes as her gasping for air went from deep to heavy until it was erratic. He could read it in her glance before she even said a word. "Help me," she whispered full of pain when her head fell into his lap. And he also could hear it in her voice that she needed him right now. He could feel it with every fibre of his body that something serious was not right with her.
"Christopher, you drive! " he said when he pushed him up to go and turn on the engine.
"What are you talking about?"
"We have to get her to the hospital!" he shouted. It was an order, not something he would argue about.
Christopher reacted immediately when he saw Lorelai's eyes pressed together in pain. Luke was right. Something was happening to her that needed a doctor. He got his car keys out of the jacked and ran to his car.
Meanwhile, Luke tried to help her up carefully. But when she curled up in a ball because of another cramp he forgot about that and lifted her off the ground. He carried her carefully to the car.
Chris started the motor right after Luke crawled into the back with Lorelai.
"Yeah," he confirmed and tried to give Lorelai as much comfort as possible by stroking over her back. She still was very tense under his touch and he grew more worried with every passing second.
"Hit the gas pedal and don't you dare even think about hitting the brakes," he called from the backseat to Christopher.
On that note, Chris got out of the driveway and headed to the hospital.
During the drive, Lorelai's condition got worse. She was sweating all over and her breathing increased because of a different, much more forceful pain. Luke was holding her hand and she squeezed it hard every time she felt a cramp.
"Lorelai," he was shaking her lightly. "Do you have any idea what is wrong?" It was frightening him not to know what was causing her such physical torture. It was one thing for him to wish that she felt the same hurt that he did after she left him but to see her like that fighting with her health was breaking his heart.
"Hey," he spoke quietly again reminding her of the question and at the same time made sure that she was still with him.
"I don't know." Her breathing was heavy and long. "I don't know. It hurts like hell."
"Where?" he pushed a strand of hair out of her face tucked it behind her ear.
"My tummy." She could barely speak clearly. Her eyes were closed while she tried to be strong and to sit it out and hide how bad it really felt. But the next wave hit hard and she couldn't hold anything together anymore.
"Aahh-hahh!" Tears ran down her face, now covering it in a grey glistening curtain made out of wet mascara and salt. She curled up and Chris too was now worried as hell as he saw her in the rear view mirror.
"How far away are we, Luke?" he asked from the front. He couldn't believe that their food had been foul and she was the only one who had actually gotten sick.
"Ten minutes…. take that right turn at the traffic light there," he said kind of absent, looking out of the window and making sure that Christopher would not stop at the red light. He didn't. He was driving at a steady speed of 65 miles per hour.
Luke felt Lorelai's hand grabbing for his again. He looked down and smiled at her "Hey it will be alright," he reassured her and gently stroked her forehead. Her skin felt hot and sweaty there and after a growl out of her throat she started shaking.
"Shhh" His head went closer to hear ear. "Just be strong a little while longer. We're almost at the hospital and then you'll get help."
She nodded in response but when the pain struck deeper, her breathing turned into frantic gasping for air and she kicked one of her feet against the car door in a weak attempt to fight the pain.
"Hurry up," he said to Chris.
Then it fell silent for a while.
Chris was driving quietly and Luke was sitting there with his eyes on the woman lying next to him. Her breathing seemed to be calmer now and he figured her cramps had subsided a little bit, which was a small relief. He had her head resting in his lap and let his fingers slowly glide over it to give her comfort.
He felt sorry that he had yelled at her earlier. She had told them that it wasn't the right time and he had ignored her comment because he was upset. It had been wrong and he knew that. Now his best friend was in deep pain and he was angry with himself that he had acted like a jerk. Who knew if he had pushed her into that bad state she was in right now.
Luke sighed and let his sad eyes wander onto the street outside. If they would just already be at the hospital!
It wasn't long when a finger tapped him on his arm. "Luke?" Lorelai's eyes searched for contact.
His face went down to see hers.
"I.. I think I have wet myself," she sniffed with a slight trace of embarrassment.
"It's okay," he said and put down his jacked which he had wrapped around her earlier so that it would cover her hips. But when his eyes travelled over her body to her legs he saw blood instead of urine running down her skin.
"Oh my god," he whispered, unable to look away.
"What?" she asked, worried, looking into his eyes and searching for an answer but he didn't get the time to tell her. Helpless, he had to watch as her attention went back to what was happening inside of her. Her face went blank in an instant when a new cramp seemed to overpower her and a loud scream rang through the car and forced her almost fall off the backseat.
Luke reacted immediately and was trying to hold her in place. She was burying her face deep into his side and he folded his arms protectively around her while she cried and curled up in pain.
To get a better grip on her, he wrapped one am around her thighs and it was exactly in that moment that it shocked him to the bottom to his soul. The nerves on his fingertips suddenly felt something like mucous. They also could sense a steady rush of warm liquid running down his palm. And when his eyes moved to search for the source and caught the fresh red blood soaking her panties and half of her dress, his brain was no longer able to tell him that she might just have a hard time with her period. With eyes wide open, he started calling her name several times but it was too late. She had already lost consciousness.
Then suddenly he felt numb for what was happening around him.
They seemed to have stopped at some point and he could tell that Chris was opening the door to get Lorelai out. But Luke didn't know anymore when the doctors had come and taken her onto a stretcher. He also couldn't tell how long they were examining her. He had no idea when he had sat down into one of those uncomfortable hospital chairs and he didn't even remember that Chris sat next to him the whole time. He was sure that at some point he said something about having called Rory and Lorelai's parents but other than that he was just sitting in silence and lost in thoughts, praying for Lorelai to be all right.
"Mr. Danes. Mr. Hayden?" a tall female interrupted him from his wandering thoughts. She was wearing a serious expression on her face, which caught his attention immediately.
"Yeah," both said at the same time and got up, having those concerned looks that were pleading for an answer.
The doctor was looking from Luke to Chris and back again to Luke.
"Who is with Ms. Gilmore?"
Luke wanted to open his mouth and say he was but quickly remembered that things had changed. That he wasn't anymore with Lorelai. That their relationship was just a bittersweet memory that was no longer reality. He let out a sigh and looked down at his shoes as if they would have an answer for him.
"I am," Christopher responded with a certainty that caused Luke's heart to ache.
"Then you come with me," the female doctor said. "Ms. Gilmore will need someone being there for her now," and with that she excused herself from Luke and disappeared together with Chris behind a huge glass door.
"What happened to her?" he called a little bit too late after them and so all he got was his own voice in the form of an echo waving back at him, followed by the empty sound of the waiting room.
When the door opened and Lorelai saw just Christopher and the doctor her face turned blank. She had hoped Luke would still be here waiting. She tried to hide her disappointment and greeted both people silently.
She didn't know yet what had been causing her stomach aches. She had found her arm connected to IV fluids when she had woken up and realized that she must have been unconscious for a while because she couldn't remember when time had run that fast and went from 10 o'clock in the evening to 2 o'clock in the morning.
"Ms. Gilmore?" the young doctor called out. "Hello I'm Cassandra Luis, your doctor." she introduced herself with small smile.
Lorelai smiled politely back at her when she opened her file. Curiosity was now written in her eyes. She watched the young female when she silently read the diagnosis again and searched for eye contact.
Her glance fell on her. "Are you feeling better?"
Lorelai looked away for a moment but then nodded.
"Good. I guess… "she trailed off for a second and looked at Chris. "I guess we should talk then."
Her voice was calm and had a soft sound that made Lorelai feel comfortable in her presence.
"Ms. Gilmore?" she started again, now wearing a sorrowful expression that Lorelai feared to see. She knew something would follow and she might not like it.
"Yeah," she said quietly. Unsure what she was expecting, she sat up in her bed and looked with those big blue eyes at her, forming a question with every glance.
The young lady took a deep breath and began to break the news to her patient.
"When you were brought into this hospital tonight you had strong contractions of your uterus and your body was in a kind of a shock situation." Pause. "You also had lost a certain amount of blood," she stated matter-of-factly.
Lorelai nodded slowly, giving her a sign to continue but clearly not really knowing where she was going with this.
"It wasn't that much blood for your body to be in great danger," she continued slowly, taking a few steps in the direction of Lorelai "but -- for the fetus inside of you, it was lethal." She swallowed, allowing the tone in her voice to show the sadness. "Your tissue was too weak to hold on to the placenta for a reason we haven't found out yet. I'm sorry, Ms. Gilmore, but you had a miscarriage."
To be continued…
Thoughts? Questions? Anything? Let me know. :)

From Mass Street Music owner Jim Baggett:
The 1965 stars were aligned last week! We were fortunate enough to have a 1965 Fender Strat Sunburst and a 1965 Gibson Firebird custom color Gold Mist pass through our hands at Mass Street Music. We took some photos of these guitars for the website, but they sold before we had a chance to list them on our Vintage page, so all we can do is share the cool pics here. We are always looking for nice examples of great guitars for our wish list customers and for our website. Enjoy the photos and keep checking our site as we never know when something like these two beauties will show up!

One area where Microsoft hasn't held back is with the mouse's Teflon feet, which are much larger than the X8's. Their large surface, broad coverage and thickness gives a lovely smooth feel on most flat surfaces, matching even the most expensive gaming rodents available. In general there are no complaints about the X3's build quality either, though it doesn't feel as solid as Microsoft's other mice. Last but not least, the mouse's two-metre USB cable is certainly long enough for most scenarios.
Overall then, the X3 is a basic but decent gaming peripheral. However, this £26 mouse lacks so many of the features of its pricier brethren that for most the saving probably won't be worth it.
Logitech's G9, for example, is currently available for around £40. That extra £13 gets you a better-built mouse with interchangeable grips, more buttons, a higher resolution sensor (3,200 DPI compared to 2,000), Logitech's excellent Micro Gear four-way scroll wheel, internal memory for portable profiles, a braided USB cable and funky adjustable backlighting.
Since we reviewed it Microsoft's own X8 has also come down in price a little and can now be found for around £55. Admittedly this is nearly double the price of the X3, but keep in mind you get 12 buttons, a metal four-way scroll wheel, weight cartridges, an LCD display for sensitivity, a 4,000 DPI BlueTrack sensor which should work on almost any surface and best of all, the option to either play with a wire attached or to go cordless with three-days' worth of battery life.
Of course the one exception here is southpaws, for whom the above mice aren't options. If you do belong to this rather limited demographic you're not exactly spoilt for choice and in this case the X3 is definitely worth considering, though you might also want to check out some of the competition from Razer.
It's not a bad mouse by any means, but unless you're a southpaw there are alternatives to the X3 that don't cost considerably more but offer a greater breadth of features.
"Strangely enough, despite being right-handed where mice are concerned, I actually found the X3 more comfortable than the specially sculpted X8."
All these "specially sculpted" gaming (or not) mice are really much pain in the wrists and very uncomfortable by any means. The most valuable assets of a mouse are good handling (shape) and resolution (dpi). ALL good mice are not "right-handed".
What's the use of a mouse with plenty of features you can't...use and throw it in the garbage can immediately?
Sorry, but, I'm really struggling to see exactly are you trying to say? Ardjuna's wrong? This mouse is rubbish? All ergonomic mice are rubbish?
Ardjuna wasn't saying all good mice are right-handed and sculpted, nor indeed was he inferring anything in particular. He was just saying he normally prefers sculpted right-handed mice but that the X3 was still nice to use and indeed outclassed many of the sculpted ones.
Let's put it another way. Ergonomic, right handed mice are the best, but companies designers seem not able to offer users a proper mouse. Lack of imagination and real life?
I simply said that sculpted mice are usually only for selling fashion.
I agreed that X3 is better than X8 (handling).
My mouse is the Razer Death Adder. Better than most of other mice, but not really good.
I see what you're saying, though I do find Logitech's G5 {http://www.trustedreviews.c...} to be very comfortable - probably still the most fomfortable gaming mouse I've come across, though my gaming mouse of choice is the G9 {http://www.trustedreviews.c...} thanks to its features.
As far as mice in general go, Logitech's MX1100 variant {http://www.trustedreviews.c...} is probably the most comfortable general purpose mouse I've used. It just so happens to be aggressively sculpted for right-handers, so I can't really agree with your point overall - though it's certainly true that not all good mice are right-handed.

Things fall
It's a short fall, and back on my own planet I'd have walked away from it. Here on the Noman Continent with its much stronger gravity, I hit the ground hard, and a sharp pain stabs upwards from my ankle. I roll over, cursing up a storm and end up on my back, my knee pulled up to my chest and both hands around my ankle. It's swelling fast, I can feel it. And somewhere above me is a six-legged creature that has to be least friendly welcome committee I've ever met.
Nothing passes across the hole in the ceiling while I clutch my ankle and bite my lip waiting for the pain to subside, and when it's finally attentuated enough that I can make myself stop clutching at it, I realise that the creature must have lost interest when I disappeared. Which means, I slowly realise, that there must be enough food on this continent for it, that I'm not worth hunting for. Somehow this thought doesn't fill me with relief. If I wasn't a target before in this strong gravity, I'm definitely one now with a sprained, possibly broken ankle.
Looking around me it's hard to see much. There's a rough circle of light from the hole in the ceiling, but the rest is shadowed. I can see enough to make out that I'm in a man-made room though, I can dimly see squared-off walls. The floor is rock and gritty with sand. There's a smell in the air, which isn't quite cinnamon but is the best I can identify it.
I scooch over to the nearest wall glad that I was wearing jeans when I was pulled from my own world; cotton trousers would surely be wearing into holes already by now. Hauling myself back to my good foot, I traverse the room using the wall to support me. The walls are concrete and smooth, but there are doors at both ends of the room. One is plain and featureless, and the other has a frosted glass panel set into it at head height. Both doors look thicker than I'm used to, but I understand that that's necessary in this gravity.
I can't climb out of the hole with a sprained ankle, so I'm going to have to choose one of the doors. I'm just starting to hobble round the walls again to the nearest door when something clatters loudly overhead, like collapsing rubble. I look up, terrified that the wall I was trying to push over is falling in on me, and a single red, high-heeled shoe falls through the hole.

Modified Art
A point that was driven home time and again during Super Bowl mania is that Scottsdale throws a bumping party. Some of us, though, like our shindigs more locally focused and arty, which is why well be in Old Town when the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art shines a spotlight on pimped-out, highly modified lowriders with a couple of dovetailing events.
Radical Mod kicks off the evening with a public showcase of lowrider cars, bikes, and music by L.A.s punk-mariachi-hip-pop party band Los Super Elegantes from 5 to 9. SMoCA Nights: Drive ups the ante from 9 to midnight with a lowrider/bikini-babe fashion show.
Radical Mod organizer Liz Cohen, whose work is featured in SMoCAs current Car Culture exhibit, will be displaying one of her creations, an 87 East German Trabant converted into a 73 Chevy El Camino. Im actually becoming an unusual member of lowrider culture myself, the artist tells New Times. Lowriders raise the question: What counts as art? The cars are amazing, especially the paint jobs -- highly narrative and full of family history.
Radical Mod, she adds, is also about context, lowrider and otherwise. Says Cohen, The show also raises the question: Who belongs in Scottsdale and why?

So long!
Fashion week is almost over, and it has been quite a ride - mainly for Anna Wintour, who started the week with an accidental minibreak in Newcastle (we suspect we will never tire of that one).
As well as the LOLs there have been gasps - as One Directioners pushed us out of the way to get to Harry Styles at Burberry - and sighs of lust, thanks to the blankets at the same show (below). There were collections we adored, like J.W. Anderson's, and there have even been tears of joy, shed by us, during the Christopher Kane show (a slightly over-emotional reaction, perhaps, but it's been a long weekend...)
So we're closing the live blog - thanks so much for joining us for it all. See you next time.
An assault course of hearts - the set for the Meadham Kirchhoff show
Metallics, religious references and futuristic moments on the KTZ catwalk
Glitter! Backstage at Meadham Kirchhoff
Pics just in from Barbara Casasola
More pictures have dropped from Fashion East...
Trends we've noticed so far
1. Breakfast
It's officially fashionable. Anya Hindmarch's show had bags that looked like cereal boxes.
2. Snakeskin
Set to be huge again. At Simone Rocha and Ashley Williams
3. Leon
Specifically, the branch next to the Tate Modern. It contained half the British fashion press today. We recommend the kale and mackerel salad.
4. Polonecks
The front row staple today and throughout the week. Stylist Kate Phelan looked particularly chic in her black and navy sweater.
5. Frills
From Elizabethan on Simone Rocha's catwalk to the doilies on the Meadham Kirchhoff invite, the granny's valance look is in next season.
Lauren Cochrane
The pattern-tastic Tata-Naka presentation
Quick reaction: Fashion East
Young and fun at Fashion East. Debuts from Louise Alsop and Helen Lawrence were all about rebel style: raw hems, slouchy shapes and flats. Ashley Williams proved her status as one of London's brightest stars. Her collection was a yee-hah. It came with cowboy boots, horses and dungarees. The future is bright for this one. Lauren Cochrane
Fashion East: a little breather
Waiting for Fashion East to start is rather fun. Ginger cake to eat, nineties RnB on the stereo (So Good by Destiny's Child and He Wasn't Man Enough by Toni Braxton) and celebs like Yasmin Le Bon and Daisy Lowe to stare at. Not bad. Lauren Cochrane
First look: Osman
More details from Anya Hindmarch
We're calling this Coco Pop chic
First look: Simone Rocha
Frills are in the building at Simone Rocha. They come exaggerated on dresses made of taffeta and PVC. The effect is part Elizabeth I, part prom queen. We like. Also present: Rocha's organza and lace, sugar pink, and a feel for texture. A fuzzy lbd looks the perfect thing for a December night on the town. Messy fishtail plaits will work all year round. Rocha's world of tomboy chic is one we'd quite happily be part of. Lauren Cochrane
First look: Anya Hindmarch
The runway: Anya Hindmarch
The runway has been turned into a giant barcode at Anya Hindmarch's show. Money walks? Lauren Cochrane
First show of day five: Marques'Almeida
Day five started with a burst of colour from Marta Marques and Paolo Almeida, whose latest collection took inspiration from the memoirs of Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe 'Just Kids' , and their time spent in the infamous Chelsea Hotel NY. As you can image it was free spirited and very rock-n-roll Jo Jones
And finally from last night - a bit of Giles
And more from last night... Ashish!
The Ashish collection caused a stir on social media last night, after the brand announced it would be embarking on another collaboration with Topshop in May. The stacked disco trainers, below, are part of the Topshop collection.
More from last night: Michael van der Ham
According to the show notes references included Parker Posey's clothes-obsessed librarian character in 1995 movie Party Girl, and irreverent 1960s fashion mag Intro
Last night's shows: Tom Ford
Tom Ford's catwalk featured Joan Smalls and a star turn by Stella Tennant. The collection was high voltage glamour - as you would expect from Mr Ford - and the Frow was suitably fascinating, too. Our highlight? Anna Wintour seems to have a new bestie: she took James Corden to the show.
Day five - and we're off!
Sad news: it's the last day of London fashion week. But there are still some brilliant shows to come, from Anya Hindmarch this morning to Fashion East at lunch to Meadham Kirchhoff at teatime. (And we're streaming as many of the shows as we can live here, too.) Here's the schedule:

Marco Ostini is a part of the Lunar Numbat project – the Australian part of White Label Space – a group intent on winning the Google Lunar X Prize and seeing the return of Man to The Moon. Marco is certain that there are big scientific questions that can be answered in this endeavour.
Space Science contains the answers to the questions we don't yet realise we should be asking.
Lunar Numbat is a team of Australian and New Zealander volunteers using Open Source technologies and their skill to build mission-critical parts. These parts are needed to help their partner White Label Space win the Google Lunar X-Prize (GLXP); an international private competition to safely land a rover on the moon, travel more than 500 meters and transmit back high definition video and images.
Why go to the moon? It's our companion world, our offshore island. Invariably when you learn about the moon, you learn about the Earth. In more ways than may seem self-evident, they're linked.
Along the way Lunar Numbat is helping the Australian Space Research Institute with AusRoc 2.5, and cooperating with others, all to further the goal of lowering the barrier to entry that surrounds Space Science, and expand the horizons of all people.

Through its Criminal Justice Programme, Barrow Cadbury Trust's principal aim is to strengthen the evidence base for structural and practical change for young adults and women and increase the criminal justice system's ability to support their rehabilitation and desistance from crime. We do this principally by convening, serving and driving the T2A Campaign. It will be expected that all projects funded by the Trust in this programme will include a perspective on gender and race, and many will also enable the voices of those directly affected to be heard.
Programme Theory of Change
The criminal justice system was, and remains, principally designed to respond to crimes committed by men. Although a separate approach to children has been successfully developed over time, the system still fails to adequately account for the distinct needs and contexts of other groups in society, such as young adults, women, those from Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. Changes are needed in policy and practice. To achieve this, a better evidence base of where the system is failing, and what can be done to change it, is required.
By funding and disseminating research, policy and good practice, and by campaigning with others for change, the Trust can influence the organisations that comprise the criminal justice system to implement the evidence, improve the way that services are designed, and support it to deliver better social and economic outcomes.
To date we have:
- Developed a robust case, and advocated for, a more effective approach to young adults at all stages of the criminal justice system. This has been achieved through research, pilot projects and work to support practitioners and policy makers. This programme of work is set out more fully on the Transition to Adulthood (T2A) website;
- Engaged with initiatives that shine a light on the additional challenges faced by women involved in the criminal justice system; and
- Contributed to projects that highlight the over-representation of people from BAME (Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority) and Muslim communities at all stages of the criminal justice system, challenging policy-makers to do more to address this growing trend.
Our objectives for the next five years are:
- Continuing to focus on the T2A initiative and deepen its growing impact across the criminal justice system in the UK, further developing the evidence base for effective, distinct approaches for young adults throughout the criminal justice system, using the multi-stage 'T2A Pathway' framework from point of arrest to prison resettlement.
- Generating and supporting initiatives that focus on gender and race within a criminal justice context, primarily with the T2A age group (18-25). The Trust will support initiatives that focus on the distinct needs of girls and women involved in crime, with an emphasis on early intervention, and further work to highlight and address the disproportionate over-representation of young BaME and Muslim men at all stages of the criminal justice system.
- To amplify the voices of those within the criminal justice system who are less frequently listened to by decision-makers, including young adults who have experienced the criminal justice system. The Trust will also support projects that shines a light on the parts of the system that are infrequently scrutinised, contentious, or rarely discussed, unacknowledged or about which little is known.
In 2017 we are particularly interested in the following areas:
- Policy and research projects to support the ongoing development of the T2A evidence base, with a particular emphasis on promoting practical improvements at the policing, courts and probation stages of the T2A Pathway;
- Projects that highlight specific issues faced by young adults involved in crime, such as leaving care, unemployment and housing;
- Research and demonstration projects that focus particularly on the distinct needs of young adult women involved in the criminal justice system (as opposed to men, girls and older women)
- Research and policy projects that highlight the over-representation of young black and Muslim people involved in crime;
The Barrow Cadbury Trust has strong historic links to the Birmingham area. Additionally, we are interested in supporting the following in the Birmingham area:
- Initiatives that bring together policy-makers, practitioners and the voluntary sector to promote good practice in relation to young adults, women and BaME communities involved in the criminal justice system.
- Work that enables the voices of young adults affected by the criminal justice system to be heard by policy makers, commissioners and service leaders.

Plenty of parking.
Getting ready for the 2016 season, over the winter I'm updating some of the flooring and painting. I have been coming to this property since 1965, last year we celebrated the 50th year. Very nice design, two homes right on the lake front with a nice yard and seawall secluded between the two. This place was designed for summer fun. I stay in the smaller home and I'm here most of the summer. I have two or three large family gatherings here each summer, this place is setup perfectly for family get togethers, lots of fun activities or just relaxing.
Note that effective with the 2016 season I will begin managing a second lake rental. This additional property is also listed on VRBO, #796263. I'm working closely with the owner on preparing this property's debut to the lake rental market. I encourage you to take a look at the listing, note that this luxury home is located within a half mile of Indiana Beach. I'm very excited about adding this property as an option and may add others in the future, please feel free to contact me at 312-802-7076 with questions about either property.
Mike Wilson purchased this house in 2013
This property seems ideal for family vacations (reunions, holidays), group getaway, golf groups, sports events, fishing trip (note boat launch mentioned below), lots of possibilities. This lake home started out as one good sized cottage with a small cottage located on the lakefront. Has had many updates over the years including attaching two cottages into one unit. The lakefront bedroom can serve as an isolated unit, has kitchen, bathroom and door.
There is a cement boat ramp on this property, very convenient for launching a boat. Large 8' x 16' floating pier with 120' cement sea wall. Indoor and Outdoor Movies, Indoor theatre with ceiling mounted projector, 6 foot pull down projection screen very nice surround sound system and three sofas. Outdoor theatre has been very popular this year, very cool experience sitting around the fire pit watching movies. Outdoor movies does require good weather conditions and projector set up, 100 inch by 160 inch projection screen is up all season. Both projectors can connect to the internet for NetFlix etc... and will play DVDs as well. You might want to consider bringing your laptop or tablet which can in most cases can be readily input into the projector. Also note very nice speaker set up in the lake yard for the outdoor movies or just listening to music. Four outdoor speakers surrounding the firepit provide a very unique listening experience. Set up in a manner that allows audio input from your phone, ipod or computer. For music I typically pull up Spotify from my phone or laptop computer, IPod works well too. Popcorn maker, makes great movie style popcorn. Firewood included, I keep a good supply of firewood on hand. I know what a hassle it is to find firewood while on vacation, Some folks bring their own which is always appreciated but don't worry I will always have plenty of firewood. Note that this is a year round rental with reduced rates during the off season. Scenic here all year long, after all you are located right on the water. Works well for holiday gatherings (lots of cooking equipment), sporting events (theatre room), winter getaway, etc...
It was a fun trip! The house is a little quirky but is lots of fun and Mike was great!
We stayed over a month here. Was perfect for us. Mike is a great guy. The house was excellent had everything you could ask for. Highly recommend place.
Our family had a great time....everything you could want was there. The outdoor movie was the hit of the weekend. Will definitely be back. Mike is a great host and made our arrival very simple.
Like many, we have stayed with Mike more than once. Flooring and furniture updates were very nice. We had a wonderful week enjoying the lake, Indiana Beach and everything that Monticello has to offer! We will be back!!
My group came in on a train from Rensselaer. I had scoped out ahead of time that Uber and Lyft serviced the area, as well as that taxi companies were listed as operating there. I didn't think to call to schedule a cab beforehand, which would turn out to be a big mistake. When we arrived, Uber and Lyft both had no cars in area, and every single taxi company we called had gone out of business. We called several more in Lafayette and no one wanted to come out. It was about 10:30 at night when we gave up, and as a last resort I called Mike. He came out with his friend and their cars on Friday night to pick us up. He really didn't sign up to do that when he let us book and we are very, very grateful he did so anyway. In addition, he gave us leftover food from a past party and set up the movie projector outside. He and his friend also drove us back to the station on Sunday morning! Really, an amazing, super friendly guy and he did so much to make sure we were always having a good time.
The house has a wide assortment of floating chairs, life vests, fishing poles, deck chairs, anti-mosquito candles on the porch, and wood for the pit. The projector worked with laptops, USBs, and DVDs. We were a group of 11 college kids and everyone slept on a bed or a couch, with ample space left over. Everyone got blankets, pillows, linens, and towels. The surround sound was a lot of fun, and the sound was well contained inside the house. The river was a beautiful view as well as nice and cold under the hot sun. It was all-around a great time we'll remember for a while, in no small part to Mike's kindness and generosity. I highly recommend this place.
Had an amazing time with friends n family! A lot to do here! Mike is super helpful and super nice! This is my second time staying well stay here next year again!
Indiana Beach Amusement Park just 5 miles away, roller coasters, water slides, family fun. Drive In Theatre 8 miles away located in Monticello. Fair Oaks Farm approximately 30 miles, dairy and pig operation setup for family viewing. Purdue University approximately 30 miles, many attractions in West Lafayette / Lafayette area.

I love reading your blog! I've used your free Zoo Keeper writing strategies with my kinder class and the children really related, always showing me "how many animals (i.e. sounds) they caught" in their spelling words!
You are such an inspiration- Thank you!
Marian M.
Thanks for the question!
The simple answer is that whether you're six years old or sixty, the code doesn't change... only the text-level to which it's applied! And as with any code, you really need all of it to do anything with it!
So the question is, how do we provide early learners with access to the whole code? Especially when it can take forever and a day just to teach just the basic alphabet sounds!
The answer?
By providing logical explanations where there would otherwise be none! You don't have to learn what just makes sense!
The Secret Stories® are "secrets" about the letters which explain all of the crazy sounds they make when they get together—and even some of the strange things they do when they're on their own! Knowing them makes it easy for learners to predict their most likely (and next most likely) sound behaviors, even in words they've never seen! And as with all secrets, it's best to know as much as possible upfront!
And lucky for us, our brains are multi-processors, hardwired to pattern-out various likelihoods based on all of the "ifs, ands and buts," providing the basis for understanding and establishing a thinking construct through which the best decision can be made.
And because the most powerful intrinsic motivator is our inherent need-to-know, it is this that becomes the driving force behind learners' quest to discover the letters' secrets! In this way, learning connections are deepened, as learning becomes three-dimensional, which is the polar opposite of rote skill-memorization!
Think of three-dimensional learning as a locked box sitting in the middle of a county road.
Consider all of the questions that would immediately pop into your head when you spot it....
"Why is it there?"
"Could it have fallen off of a truck?
"Did someone put it there on purpose?"
"Why is it locked"
For example...
I will happily let you know that...
This above scenario doesn't just depict student behavior, but letter behavior too!
He decided to sneak into the closets of superhero e and i and to take their superhero capes (which is where their powers lie!) so that he could use their powers to make their sounds!
So now, whenever he is at the end of a word (where he doesn't think anyone will see him!) he will always be sneaky, and he will always be wearing either his e or his i cape, so that he can use their super powers to say their names, like in: candy, mommy, July, by, etc…
But, when he's at the beginning of a word (where he knows that everyone can see him!) he's like the line leader, and so he'll always be good and make the sound that he should, like in: yellow, yes, you, yak, etc...
|The Sneaky Y SECRET™
That's not Sneaky Y™, that's ey and ay, and they're just TOO COOL (like Fonzie!) and so they always stick up their thumbs and say, "Aaayyyyeeeeee!"
And for more on how to share the SECRETS™ in conjunction with the individual letter sounds, click here and here.
|For a bird's eye view of the the SECRET STORIES® in kindergarten,
check out this post by kindergarten teacher, Kjersti Johnson!
Understanding the brain and how it works empowers teachers, to teach SMARTER, not harder! And by taking advantage of the latest neuroscience—specifically that pertaining to brain plasticity and the affective learning domain, we can alter both where and how the skills that we teach are stored and retrieved within the brain, empowering students to learn smarter, not harder—regardless of age or grade level!

Who Is: Jesse Blacker
Blacker has all the keys to being a successful top-4 blue-liner, but expect him to play a couple seasons in the AHL before seeing his first ice time in the big leagues. The newly turned nineteen year old must also add 20-25lbs to fill out his somewhat lanky frame in order to compete regularly against the leagues best. Though the Leafs depth at defensive has Blacker currently in the bottom third, as long as the Maple Leafs have Burke as general manager, Jesse will be in the system. Truculence and testosterone tops this youngster's resume, with a side of pugnacity and a light sprinkling of belligerence. I would compare the future of Blacker to that of Mike Van Ryn, just without the injuries (hopefully).

Before I left on my trip last week TechCrunch reported that Summify announced that it was being bought by Twitter. I had started using Summify for a few weeks now and it was my goto place in the mornings to catch up on popular news. Earlier, I used to weed through my Twitter feed but having a service that filters and curates content is wonderful. So, while going through the TechCrunch story I started thinking…
Wow, that is awesome for the founders and the VCs that have invested in the company.
If Twitter can use the Summify engine and build the service into Twitter then that would be fantastic.
I read some more and noticed…
This sounds like a talent acquisition on Twitter's part — in other words, the main purpose of the acquisition was probably hiring the Summify team. Some of Summify's feature have been immediately disabled, it's no longer accepting new users, and in a few weeks, Summify says it will shut down the current product entirely. Meanwhile, the startup will be moving from Vancouver to San Francisco to work out of the Twitter office.
My reaction was - damn, these guys sold out to Twitter and don't care about their users. Something here was not right. Sure, if Summify went belly up then the service would be shut down. But, willingly killing the service is not cool.
This got me thinking about what we would do if someone wanted to buy out DeskAway. If DeskAway is getting a bigger, better home then why not. If they are going to kill the app then a big NO NO. If they are going to pay me to kill the app - then even a bigger NO NO. That would be complete injustice to our users who rely on the service each day.
Luckily, we are not investor-backed (by choice) and do not have the pressure to sell or go IPO. Definitely, not at the cost of our current users.
If Twitter bakes Summify into its service then this acquisition makes a lot of sense. Until then I am going to check out News.me.

Civ V lead designer Kickstarting new title, Jon Shafer's At the Gates
Jon Shafer, former Stardocker and lead designer of Firaxis' Sid Meier's Civilization V, has launched Confider Games and kicked off a new Kickstart campaign. The campaign is for the in-development turn-based strategy title Jon Shafer's At the Gates. At the Gates will put players in the role of a barbarian warlord in a world short on resources and sandwiched between the great powers of late antiquity, the western and eastern halves of the Roman empire. Players will have to adjust to changes in the climate and landscape, deal with their friends, and raid their enemies as they attempt to spread their rule over the land.

Montreal begins controversial sewage dump into St. Lawrence River
MONTREAL (Reuters) - Montreal, Canada's second-largest city, began dumping untreated sewage into the St. Lawrence River on Wednesday, angering environmentalists with a repair operation that could release as much as 8 billion liters (2.1 billion gallons) of wastewater into a major waterway.
The city has said the dump, expected to last up to a week, is necessary while work is carried out to replace ageing parts of the waste treatment system that could create a greater environmental hazard if it unexpectedly broke.
The action prompted outrage from cities and citizens downstream - worried about raw sewage in the water and the possibility of detritus such as condoms washing up on riverbanks. Even some upstream were concerned because of the precedent it was setting.
"It's surprising, disgusting and outrageous that the city of Montreal took this path, which is the least costly alternative for them," said Lee Willbanks, from advocacy group Save the River, based in the riverside town of Clayton in New York state. "If Montreal does it, others municipalities might do the same."
Signs advising against touching the water were posted on the banks of the river directly opposite Montreal's main port area. Despite the large size of the dump, waste will likely be quickly diluted and swept away by the huge volume of the river and there was no odor or physical signs of the operation, which has generated the Twitter hashtag #flushgate.
In full-page ads in Quebec's main newspapers on Wednesday, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre defended the operation as vital to protecting the river in the long run.
"As I have repeatedly said, if there were better options we would certainly have considered them," he said. "But the reality is that the option we have chosen is the one with the least environmental impact."
The river runs for almost 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) from Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean, and features migratory birds and a variety of whales. It forms much of the border between New York state and the Canadian province of Ontario. Continued...
