Disciplining a Visitor
When Neighbor Girl comes over, she prefers to play with Katie. Katie is 8, she is 10. Jenny is not yet 6, but naturally wants to be included all the time. Naturally, the age gap from 10 to 6 is big enough and is heightened by, firstly, NG being an only child, and secondly, NG having gone to traditional schools which segregate based on silly things like age.
The other day NG was here and Jenny was coming up to me every 10 minutes or so in tears. After a half hour of this, I had had enough. Older children must be nice and indulgent to younger children in my house. I refuse to be the constant arbiter of how much time one child is allowed to pester another child who wants to play with "his" friends alone. Be inclusive...or else!
So I told NG it was time for her to go home. And I told Katie it was time for her to clean her room. Twenty minutes later, Katie and Jenny were playing nicely together (in a clean room). NG took this personally and her mother kept her home yesterday.
How do you handle the neighbor kids? Other times I have doled out punishment (time outs, chores) to everybody, but I just wasn't in the mood that afternoon.
And how do you handle the pesky younger sibling issue? Do you grant older children their "privacy"? Or do you make them learn how to cope with difficult people by enforcing inclusivity?
And any suggestion on gender wars? Man, the battles are raging here. It's boys vs. girls on everything.
10 comments:
My girls are four years apart. My oldest is the youngest in her grade. The age gap certainly causes a problem when my older child has friends over to play. For a good portion of the play date, I usually keep my younger one occupied doing something fun with me. After my ability to distract her vanishes I insist that my older child and her friend allow her to play with them. I've had a few of the guests complain to me about it, but mostly it's my daughter to complains that this is unfair. (Who said life is supposed to be fair?)
My older child understands that if she doesn't include her sister she won't be having friends over for several days. When the visitor is the one who complains I simply ask them if they would like me to call their mom to come get them now or would they like to be nice to the little kid and let her play, too. I have yet to have a child ask to go home when presented with those choices. I also let them know that if they cannot play nicely with both of my girls and any other children who are playing at my house that they won't be invited back.My girls are ten and five, but I still make my older daughter let her younger sister play when the ten year old neighbor girl comes over. Sometimes I have my older daughter be the bad guy and she tells the neighbor girl that she is not allowed to play at our house if she is going to be mean to the any of my younger children. I have seen them be outright mean and I have a hard time holding my tongue if it's going to be me saying something. This may seem harsh, but in the past I have not let the children play again if they have been mean to my little children. That is just not something I put up with and I don't want my children being influenced by kids like that either.
ReplyDeleteNG is definitely NOT someone I would choose to have as a playmate for my chldren. Unfortunately, she is the ONLY kid in the area. I have come to view her as almost a foster daughter. (And I have proven to myself that foster parenting is not for me.) With school beginning next week, her time here will be less, and I think we'll be moving in February, so her influence will be short-lived. No matter where we live, there always seems to be some neighbor children that just don't fit well, so it's an ongoing problem, just with different faces. In this case, especially, I have felt that it was my job to be the good influence, and so they play mostly over here and she eats dinner here very often...sadly, that is the only time she ever experiences "family dinner." I can only hope that in 15 years she remembers my family fondly and tries to make for herself a home life resembling ours instead of hers.
ReplyDeleteI have no advice for the gender wars. Sorry.
As far as other kids, Gabriel is the one who has friends that come over. His best friend is two years older than him, so he's 14. Dominic is 6. But, this particular child is amazing with Xavier and Dominic. He never gives them the impression that he doesn't want to be with them. Since Gabriel has always played with X & D, it doesn't seem to ping on his conscience to want time alone with E. However, I think they need time alone to develop their friendship. They play all together for most of the time he is here. Then, I send the younger boys outside to play for maybe the last 30 minutes. When he spends the night, I just send the younger boys to bed at their normal time and let the older boys stay up as long as they want to. I find it amusing that they are always in bed by 11:30.
I am always the mean mom in the neighborhood. If you don't play by my rules, you don't play. I think that sending her home was probably the best plan. Taking away her playmate is probably the most effective way of getting through to her. Unfortunately for Jenny, she doesn't really have anyone else to play with while Katie and NG have 'alone' time. And, if you don't want them to develop a close relationship (the reason I insist on the alone time), then I really don't believe that it is necessary.- Anonymous9/05/2009 3:08 PM
I just break it up. The older kids do get some time alone with their friends, but I make it understood that at some point, the little guys will have to be included. So far this works okay because I am lucky to say my kids have nice friends who generally don't have a problem at all including the younger kids-one who has no siblings of his own, often is the first to say hey it's fine if the 8 years old comes and plays (whereas my 11 year old, brother of said 8 year old, is complaining about having to include him-:-))) Anyway, it is more often around here, the gender wars because it's one girls and 3 boys, but still my youngest boy often wants to play with his sister and she-being the queen bee of the house- often is the one saying no. So, obviously my kids are the bad ones (ha ha I am kidding, sort of). Definitely there are times when big-sis is made to play with little-bro, even is she doesn't necessarily love to. But for the most part, they all manage to get along, sort of, generally, sometimes. PS I think it is good to try to be that good example for other kids-hard-but definitely good. mcm
ReplyDelete Hi Michelle! Jackie Hofmann, here. You are my hero! We have a NB in our neighborhood who doesn't appreciate our little sibs. My philosophy is: too bad, it's their house; include them, be kind, or go home. As for gender wars, we do a lot of apologizing around here! And dividing and conquering. After enough time spent alone in their rooms, they don't mind so much playing with each other, again. Take care. You go, girl!
ReplyDelete- Mom R.9/08/2009 11:18 PM
Everyone has addressed the importance of sharing, including the younger children when friends are over, etc. What has not been addressed is friend time, alone/privacy time, & shared time. All are necessary. Children should be allowed some time to play with their friends without siblings present. Siblings, by birth order and personality, do not view the family in the same way. They need friends outside the family who can share their views and the time to play with them. Children also need alone/privacy time to think, ponder, daydream, etc. What is needed is balance for each child in all three areas according to each child's needs.
ReplyDelete - Anonymous9/08/2009 11:22 PM
I WAS the older sibling -- of five... and remember well this battle-- still with some bitterness. The older kids really do deserve some time with friends their own age without having to constantly accommodate the little ones. Older kids in big families spend a lot of time entertaining and helping to care for younger siblings, but just as parents need a break-- so do the "big kids" need some time to hang out with "big kid friends." I agree with Karen-- trying to distract the little ones for a part of the play date goes a long way in both age groups!
ReplyDelete - Mom R.9/10/2009 12:57 PM
Oh, Anonymous, you are so right. Only I was the oldest cousin. The killer incident, leaving the most bitterness, was my cousin being told his 7-years younger sister had to be admitted to his room to watch the TV that he had gotten repaired with his own allowance money - topped off by him being told that she had the right to choose the TV program!
ReplyDelete I've got a HUGE age gap in my family, as you well know...10 years between oldest and youngest. And the gap feels bigger when the oldest one is driving and the youngest one hasn't yet made his First Communion.
We do allow each of the kids "private friend time" but we also request that the older ones (nicely) include Little Brother in an activity for a while. We haven't had any friends who have trouble with this.
As to other discipline, friends who break house rules get to go home now. Period. Generally that friend does not ever break that rule again.

SneakersNStuff x Asics GT-II "The Seventh Seal" – Global Release Cancelled
October 26th, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 3 comments
2012′s lineup of collabo Asics pairs just got cut short by a little bit, a little fiasco taking place with the new SneakersNStuff x Asics GT-II 'The Seventh Seal' pair. The shoe was released last weekend at the SneakersNStuff spot, with a global release set for tomorrow, the 27th. Only thing is that the majority of pairs crafted up were produced incorrectly, with the back chess piece hit showing up in blue, a violation of the inspired black and white theme. As a result you won't see these at any other retailers, with the 158 'correct pairs' sold at SNS last weekend being the only ones available. Click through to get SneakersNStuff's explanation and let us know if you're lamenting the Asics GT-II cancellation.

Herriman High School's drama department found out about the cancellation during their first day back from the winter break. The students and teachers met together to learn their show would not go on.
The complaint came to the district right before the holidays concerned the play the High School was working on, "All Shook Up" contained questionable material.
During the break the district looked over the script and decided it did not work with the district's new drama policy.
Sandy Riesgraf, Director of Communications at Jordan School District, told ABC4 News, "Under our newly revised drama policy there are some concerns that some of the content may be offensive to some of our patrons."
This decision was a blow to the student actors. None of them would go on camera, but they did take to twitter.
@LeighAnne wrote: "Musical is cancelled. I had lines and songs memorized."
@ Orgishbliss wrote: "Jordan school district. first they ruin Christmas break, and now the musical."
Riesgraf said, "This is what the community wanted after Dead Man Walking. They wanted a revised and new policy that's what we came up with and we do what we have to do."
After the contention at Bingham High School last year, the district now has a group of school and community leaders who approve scripts. Herriman's "All Shook Up" was chosen before the change and nobody took a second look at it, until now months after rehearsals started.
Riesgraf said, "We wouldn't be doing our jobs if we didn't follow that revised policy."
Riesgraf told ABC4 News the district told the school they would cover whatever money they needed to perform a new play. The students and teachers are trying to select a new script and will get to work on the new production.

Financial Planning
"Whatever failures I have known, whatever errors I have committed, whatever follies I have witnessed in private and public life have been the consequence of action without thought." - Bernard Baruch
A financial plan makes recommendations on a number of topics. It generally begins with a reprise of a person's (or family's) net worth and a list of income and expenditures and/or a budget. Following this picture of the client's current situation are the issues and recommendations in six key areas:
- Day to day finances (budgeting, expense control, mortgages, other debt, emergency funds, etc.)
- Insurance (life, health, disability, property)
- Taxes (exemptions, deferrals, income splitting)
- Investments (asset allocation, security selection, risk management)
- Retirement (pensions, RRSPs, RRIFs, annuities, etc.)
- Estate (wills, powers of attorney, use of trusts, planned giving, etc.)
Not all financial plans include recommendations for all of these topics. For example, a retired person with a mortgage-free residence and a pension that covers day to day expenses may want and need advice only with respect to investments, taxes, and estate planning.

Des Moines residents report gun shots, bullet holes in houses
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say residents have found bullet holes in two Des Moines homes, but no injuries have been reported.
The Des Moines Register reports that three bullet holes were found in a house on Saturday evening. A resident told officers that she'd heard seven shots and told the children in the house to drop to the floor. One of the bullets penetrated a bedroom wall and one went into the living room. The third bullet didn't penetrate into the house.
In a separate incident, two bullet holes were found in a house where a shooting was reported early Sunday morning. A resident told officers that he'd heard four shots around 3:15 a.m.

bump! He's baaaaack!
Think Tanev will be able to find his groove on the big club without traditional partner Keith Ballard to balance out the blue line? It seems Ballard could be out for a while and the Canucks need to know if Tanev is ready for another playoff run.
From The Province:
"Keith's had a sore neck and when you're dealing with anything that involves neck/head it's some-times difficult to figure out if it's concussion-related or a neck trauma issue," Gillis said.
I'd say Tanev was probably propping up Ballard more than Ballard was propping up Tanev. Kid should be fine, but he'll back down before the trade deadline I guess so he's waiver-exempt or something for the playoffs. I don't quite understand it, but I'm sure Mike Gillis does.
I hope he sticks this time.

This was my first trail marathon and a good friend (from CO) convinced me to come out to run the race. The course has plenty of hills and the temperature this year got into the low/mid 80s which was brutal. A beautiful course, AMAZING support at the aid stations and overall organization. Definitely an enjoyable (albeit slow) run. THANKS BLUE SKY!
The course was a challenge but the views and scenery were worth the effort. The race was well organized, had plenty of enthusiastic support at the aid stations, and I liked the fact there were no cups; they just refilled your water bottle(s). This ensures no litter is left behind and that you had water with you since the aid stations were fairly spread out. If you run it you should also be aware the course is long (my Garmin showed 27.16 miles), which I didn't know until someone told while in the middle of the race. The food was great at the end (grilled hamburgers). The only minor negative about the race was there was supposed to be an awards ceremony and raffle at 1:30pm, but it never occurred; no explanation why, but I assume due to the hot day (80's) few runners felt like staying around.
This is a great race. The natural beauty of the course is exceptional with everything from great views (you have to do considerable elevation to get these) to wonderful, remote single-track trail. The org. was perfect. I can't think of a hitch. If I could have changed anything about 2011 it would have been the weather . . . 85 degrees combined with a challenging hill course made this years race a piece of work. It felt like a good 'capstone' marathon for the season . . . if you've done some during the year and are in good condition, it represents a nice way to finish-out the spring - summer season. I'm not a fast runner . . . I had to hustle to meet the cut-off times and to be sure to finish in the 7 hr limit. (Again, 85 degrees doesn't do much for my speed / efficiency.) The medal isn't anything to write home about - except it means more than most others because represents finishing a tough course. There's very few spectators because there's no place for them to spectate from.
My first marathon. I love running the trails and hills and chose this race which had "rave reviews" in the past. It lived up to the hype. Very, very, very difficult for a "foothills" run. Like another runner posted, my long training runs - even on monster courses - were sub-10-min miles. I was expecting 4:30 - but got 5:12. The only part that really killed my psyche was about 5 straight miles on nothing but huge rocks (no dirt!) gnarled together and angled at all directions. Killed my rhythm and all downhill from there. Overall an experience I'll never forget. Challenging and equally rewarding.
This trail event is run in the mountains of northern Colorado, including some challenging hills and very technical running on rocky courses. The organizers put on a great race, however, with plenty of food and well-staffed stations, fun prizes at the end, and a great, laid-back experience all around. I would absolutely run it again.
This was the first year for this race, and the organizers (veteran trail runners in Northern Colorado) did a great job. Aid stations were well stocked and volunteers were abundant and very enthusiastic, and the course is very scenic. It is a trail marathon, so there is quite a bit of elevation gain, and there are places where footing is tricky - perfect for what I like to do, but road runners need to understand that this isn't a PR race. I rated spectators only a 3 because there aren't many (it's basically an out-and-back course on single track, so not easy to get to), but the aid stations cheered everyone on throughout the race.

The recent scandal and dismissal of John Terry as England team captain provides an interesting example of the psychological theory of discourse and subject positions (Edley, 2001; Holloway, 1984)). Put simply, discourses (all the utterances around a particular topic) both produce and subject people (also by themselves and others) to specific discursive positions. Therefore, the way people experience the world and themselves is in part a by-product of discourse. For example, when Terry took up the position of England captain, he will not have encountered the discourse of the England captaincy pre-formed. Instead he will have been re-constituted as the 'subject' of the England captain in the moment of its consumption. In more familiar terms, the moment that Terry became the England captain, he will have been discursively located with a particular identity (Hall, 1988). The identity of the England football team captain presumably carries with it certain attributes e.g. good team leader, sound role model, respectability, monogamy etc. The point I am making is that, the media allegations of his affair with Vanessa Perroncel located Terry in a 'troubled subject position' (Wetherell, 1998). That is, the allegations implied he occupied a subject position of a discourse other than that of the England team captain. Unfortunately for Terry, occupying a troubled subject has resulted in Fabio Capello replacing Terry as England team captain with Rio Ferdinand.

06-01-2007, 01:05 AM #2my mom has an HHR LT and she loves it.. i love it and did you know it was designed after the 1949 suburban.... btw get the bigger 2.4L engine i have heard great things about it and the 2.2 all negative.. and btw those things are really zippy for what they are.... just giving you a heads up
06-01-2007, 08:10 PM #3We've been looking at HHR's for a few weeks trying to find the best deal, my wife deided she wanted one after we had a rental for a week in Vegas. After driving a few I have to agree the 2.4L seems to be the better engine, and I've heard of less issues with them.
A well informed little bird told me their going to introduce a 2.4 intercooled turbocharged model for 2008 so I'm trying to get the wife to hold off a while.
06-01-2007, 09:53 PM #4yep in 2008 they are coming out with the HHR SS which blows cuz the dealership had told my dad that they werent gonna come out with one at all.....
he's really bummed
06-02-2007, 11:12 AM #5SST in Arlington, Texas is working on a Turbo for earlier model HHR's, from what I've seen it's got potential. The drawback to SST turbo's is thier rear mounted leaving the intake where it can pick up water and trash and they loose some horsepower over conventional underhood set-ups. But any horsepower increase is good.
06-25-2007, 07:17 PM #6There may be a change when the HHR-SS comes out. Last year we were seeing it may come out in 2008, now we are finding info that is suggesting 2009, But the best info yet is it will be equipped with the 2.0 turbo solstice engine.

The ash tray in your 1970-1981 Camaro's dash most likely is in need of replacing if you use it often.

Rick's Camaros is happy to offer a new production ash tray with a black pebble grain face plate for your Camaro, built to withstand cigarette use for a long time. Matching factory specifications, this reproduction ash tray will replace your original ash tray easily and be painted to match your color interiors. Trust Rick's Camaros for all of your restoration and replacement needs for your 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, or 1981 Camaro!

CESI SpA hosts the WEC Interconnectivity Task Force in Milan
The Interconnectivity Task Force chaired by WEC Vice Chair Elías Velasco García met at CESI in Milan, Italy on 4-5 June. The Task Force continues its work on a wide range of issues and topics related to secure, reliable and efficient electricity transmission networks, including technical, economical and environmental aspects; markets and regulation; the need for coordination, system standards and pricing transparency. What impact will a CO2 levy have on competitiveness of various options? How to integrate renewables into the grid? What makes a grid "smart"? These and other issues are being investigated by the Task Force, which will also prepare an overview of interconnections in large integrated grids, in all geographical regions, sub-regions and major countries or clusters of countries.
The meeting in Milan included a tour of CESI's laboratories with the world class facilities for testing high, medium and low voltage electrical equipment for AC and DC systems. At the meeting, the Task Force, led by its Director Dr. Alessandro Clerici, reviewed a large number of detailed documents produced since the last meeting in January and agreed on the way to integrate emerging messages into a draft report to be finalised at the next meeting of the Task Force.
The graph below demonstrates transmission cost per kWh for electricity loads between 100 and 400 MW and distances between 200 and 600 km.
Source: WEC Interconnectivity Task Force draft report/A. Clerici
It is assumed that the capitalised cost of transmission losses is 1500 €/kW and costs of transmission construction medium-to-low.
The graph highlights local costs of imported electricity for different types of loads generated by plants located far from the consumption areas. Clearly, using cheap energy from remote areas is costly but it makes a case for utilisation of flared gas or marginal gas fields.
Transport of gas also requires large flows to be economic. The dynamics of gas transport costs are negative for marginal gas fields. From an economic standpoint such fields may not warrant building long distance gas transportation pipelines for the "limited" volumes to be transported.
A good example of this type of development is the Aguaytía Project located in the jungle in Peru with the gas reserves estimated at 12Gm3 (about 5% of Peru's total gas reserves). A gas processing plant located near the field has a capacity of 1.5 Mm3/day and supplies natural gas to an electrical power plant sited about 5km from Aguaytía. The generating capacity of the plant is 160 MW using two open-cycle gas turbines units. Since the consumption load area is remote from the plant and located along the coast of Peru, an electric power transmission line rated 220 kV, 200 MVA connects the power plant to the main electricity grid at the coastal city of Paramonga some 400 km away. Construction of the Aguaytía Project started in August 1996 and it began operation in July 1998. The electricity produced from this marginal gas reserve corresponds to about 5% of Peru's total electricity generation. Current plans include extension of the generation plant capacity by an additional 50 MW combined-cycle unit.

What Price This Thirsty Beauty?
Thursday, November 21st, 2013 © by Susan SwartzMy Indiana friend sent a photo of her dazzling ruby-colored backyard. For your fall fix, she wrote. A California friend visiting Maine posted golden leaves on Facebook and happily reported it blustery enough for gloves and scarves.
Many who don't live in Sonoma County and even locals believe we lack the autumnal graces. Certainly no fall to match the glory of Back East or the Midwest with their leaf peeping attractions, picturesque landscapes, little kids in red sweaters scuffing piles of leaves.
But they are wrong. We are not seasonally deprived. Our wind blusters. We scuff leaves. We are glove wearing people. Our leaves are worthy.
Certainly there is nothing second rate about this golden season. Look at that flash of ash. Check out the canopies of liquidambar. Come take our picture. We have old barns and gap toothed fences and last minute apples. Have you met our maples?
Unusually dry weather plus cold nights push the paintbrush. But are we paying for this beauty? We need more rain.
California is heading for the driest year on record. Photos of some of our reservoirs look like those parched watering holes in Africa where wildlife no longer gather to drink.
But do not miss our pinot colored grapevines, surrounded by redwoods, fit for framing. Our own backyard gingko trees spin off yellow discs into the faded garden with one white hollyhock and three tomatoes. Down the road I spotted a yellowed hill with a lone cow on the top against a rain-is-maybe-coming sky.
It didn't rain that day, but we were graced this week. Our shiny fall was starting to get a little creepy, its beauty like a woman in a lovely gown who twirls to show a smiling Day of the Dead skeleton face. Still, we'll need to dance and howl at the cold night moon for a drought-changer.
A monster typhoon hit the Philippines and its devastated people plead for relief, painting a sign across a road, saying "Help. Water." The UN representative from the Philippines wept and called the climate crisis "madness."
Closer to home, a meteorologist talked about the California drought and said we're messing with the basic support systems of the planet. The starfish are losing their arms, melting into lifeless globs from a wasting disease. A strange anomaly, say marine scientists, trying to figure out what is wiping out these saltwater stars from Alaska to Santa Barbara. Is Fukushima radiation cooking our sea life?
Coastal people have front row seats on the ocean, wrote the New York Times, "where climate change will have a profound effect." Keep a lookout.
Fodor's Travel lists the five most amazing places to visit before climate change and pollution alters them forever. Antarctica is thawing. Mount Kilimanjaro is losing its storied snowcap. The Great Barrier Reef is eroding. The Taj Mahal is crumbling. The Dead Sea is sinking.
Might global warming have anything to do with our exceptional fall? It's hard to remember what is normal. Next worry, what happens to the snow pack in the Sierra if the winter is dry. Can I rationalize watering my kale and spinach if I let the mums and pansies go?

The Red Sox will once again face the Cardinals in the World Series. This is the fourth time the two teams have met in the series. The Sox defeated the Cards in 2004, earning their first World Series win in 86 years. Before that, The Cards beat the Ted Williams-led Sox in 1946 and the Impossible Dream Sox of 1967.
All of the World Series games will air in prime time on Fox.
The one scheduling variable, of course, is the weather. There are already concerns that a storm may knock Game 1 out of place. Forecasters are tracking a Nor'Easter that may or may not bring significant rain to Fenway Park Wednesday night.
Here is the current game schedule:
- Wednesday, Oct. 23, 7:30 p.m.: Game 1 in Boston.
- Thursday, Oct. 24, 7:30 p.m.: Game 2 in Boston.
- Saturday, Oct. 26, 7:30 p.m.: Game 3 in St. Louis.
- Sunday, Oct. 27, 8 p.m.: Game 4 in St. Louis.
- Monday, Oct. 28, 7:30 p.m.: Game 5 in St. Louis.
- Wednesday, Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m.: Game 6 in Boston.
- Thursday, Oct. 31, 7:30 p.m.: Game 7 in Boston.

I have been working at Pacific Gas and Electric full-time
Pros – Lots of opportunities for upward progression as the company's current employees retire, good work-life balance and benefits, focus on turning the company around and investing in operational and customer-related elements is bringing momentum to change
Cons – Stuffy, bureaucratic and conservative culture does not make it an innovative or fun place to work, or an easy place to get things done. As a younger employee, I have few peers and don't feel as though the company is concerned about my development
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Posted By jerseygirl on 10/03/2012 11:43 PM @BMT: have you tried some bonding work outside of your apartment? Say at a friends place perhaps. I'm sorry you might have to take Dexter back. It's never easy. He got a whole month at least, having people doting in him.
Yes. We've tried EVERYTHING. We started the bonding at a rescue away from home and she was a little agressive but not so much that we didn't think it was possible....and since then it's just been a disaster. We've tried bathtub, outside, my office at work, car rides, stroller....and the time limit on them being together before Lola gets agressive is about 5ish minutes...and that's probably on the max end of things. I just don't know if she is SUPER territorial or just young and doesn't get it (she's almost a year). The only time they had been kinda fine is when 2 people had their hands on them on the floor petting them both at the same time and almost instantly when you removed your hands she would start nipping and mounting him. Poor little guy would put up with it for a few seconds before he retaliated and then they'd end up in circles. (They broke a strainer...no joke. ) We paused and took time off for a week and then tried again and it's exactly the same.
Ultimately, I'm throwing in the towel on bonding just because I am most concerned with them injuring each other. The last thing I would want is to see one of them be seriously injured.
Finally for those of you going with Blue withdrawals here are some new pictures
Stop hoomin I am undercover!!
This is now my chair, no hoomins allowed!
what are you doing on the computer?
Stop Blue, I am begging for a treat!!
Well? Lets go hoomin, I want my treat!!!
Hey Svandis!
Yes we're all in Norway, Peter, Penelope and me... Oslo to be precise.
I vary a lot as my buns seem to get tired of the same hay. I buy large sacks of hay at my local petshop at Alnabru and it's local grown, not imported. The sack is guaranteed over 8kg I think, and usually between 10 and 12. It smells fresh and nice and the hay is greenish and quite tough giving the buns something to chew.
It doesn't contain much brown/wilted stuff but still the buns like to drag it all over and pee on it. Sometimes they still eat it though, I guess I can just give up understanding these bullys.
I also sometimes buy the smaller 2kg bags as well as an occational bag of oats hay and such for a treat. The buns seem to like the variation and it reduces the ammount of hay they waste as they usually eat most of the first handfulls of a different type.
The stages of Cinnabun and getting a treat
"Just laying here. Relaxing. Oh what's that? You're going to the kitchen. That's nice."
"Give. The. Apple. To. Me. Now. It is necessary for bunny. I need it. Give it to me and I'll go away. Just hand it over, Hoomin. Now. The apple. NOW."
Molly is such a cutie, I love her colours and such a sweet face. Tan lover, I can never get over how elegant your buns look (well other than that escape photo, which is priceless)
such beautiful buns, makes it even harder not to go out and find a friend for Bunny
All my photos seem to be of Bunny lounging on our bed. That's where she spends most of her time, I think she just likes to be with us when we're relaxing.
This is one of her keeping me company and being super patient while I work on payroll and activity planning. Who needs a dog? :p
So many cute bunnies! I don't even know where to start.
Tanlover - I LOVE seeing pictures of your hyper buns. They almost always make me laugh (I thoroughly enjoyed the one of the aftermath following your attempt to enjoy a morning coffee, haha!).
Chacha - What a cutie! Look at those cheeks! I love that picture of her pre-nail trim.
Bullrider - Blue is beautiful! I really want a flemie but unfortunately would not have room for one at the moment.
Daisybinks - What a sweet picture, and I really like her fur pattern. I don't think I've quite seen one like that yet.
I snapped a few new pics of Luna I would like to share.
I have recently begun expanding her play area to include my bedroom. She LOVES my bed. I just can't seem to keep her off of it. I wouldn't be so worried if Marbles (my previous bunny) hadn't of felt the need to repeatedly treat it like she would her litter dish.
Luna thinks I spend too much time online. I told her I'm only on here checking out how to be a better bunny momma, but she doesn't care. All she wants is more strawberry.
I snapped this picture a few days ago. That teddy bear has recieved a lot of bunny attention over the years. Here's Marbles at around the same age.
It made me so happy to be able to get a similar photo of the two of them.
Memarie -- I feel obligated to show you this picture of Tanger now.... The first night we brought him home, we had his cage all set up nice and pretty... and when I woke up in the morning this is what I came out too....
That brown mush beside his head is what was left after his pellets after he flung them all over the cage and then proceeded to flip his water dish on top of the pellets.... and yes, he's standing up THROUGH where his water dish SHOULD be... and yes, his hay holder is flipped half way off the side (which was actually PHYSICALLY attached to the cage).... Oh, and there SHOULD be one of those toys that hangs from the ceiling made out of nothing but metal welded together with little wooden pieces and a bell on the end ( I think they're called Kabobs?) .... should be there.. but nope, he tore the whole thing down and then apart so we found all the pieces flung everywhere through his CareFresh! Yepp, this was what I woke up to the morning after we got my darling, sweet little Tanger...
Also, Luna is sooooo ADORABLE!!! I love the pic of her on the bed with that one loppy ear!!!!
So, I'm sitting here... once again, enjoying my cup of coffee... when I heard a big bang and crash.. Look over and this is what I see...
OY VEY. They are lucky they are sooooo cuteeeeeee.
Shhhh. Somebunny is sleeping.
A day in the life of Pie. Rabbit Pie.
Early morning clover patch stroll and pondering in the garden.
Pre-breakfast appointment with the fridge. Timing is crucial.
Most important task of the day: menu planning. No hoomin food allowed. Occasional juice and milk allowed.
Hard work calls for a mid morning nap.
Followed by an afternoon nap on the bed as soon as the hoomin has left for work.
Followed by Yoga when the hoomin gets home.
Followed by an appointment with the brush for a whole body groom, and a bed time story from my hoomin.
Then we go to sleep to rest after a full day of hard work. No moving hoomin!

Cooperatives could address global economic problems
The United Nations has declared 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives (IYC), highlighting the contribution of cooperatives to socio-economic development, particularly their impact on poverty reduction, employment generation and social integration. The Government of Nepal and cooperative activists have planned to mark the IYC-2012 by organizing various programmes giving a boost to the countrys cooperatives movement. For this, the government, through a cabinet meeting, has endorsed various programmes to observe the IYC. Celebrating with the theme of Cooperative Enterprises Build a Better World, the event seeks to encourage the growth and establishment of cooperatives all over the world. It also encourages individuals, communities and governments to recognize the cooperatives as a means to achieve internationally agreed upon development goals, such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In this backdrop, Yogesh Pokharel of The Rising Nepal caught up with Keshav Badal, the Chairman of the National Cooperatives Federation (NCF), an umbrella organization of the cooperatives unions across the country, to talk about the programmes and activities of the Nepalese cooperatives movement during the year and other issues of the movement. Excerpts: The UN General Assembly has declared 2012 as the IYC Year. Why do you think has the global body taken this initiative? As both the state-controlled and liberal economy failed globally, the UN General Assembly has declared 2012 as the ICY Year to give a message that the world should address the economic problems in a different way. Thought the state-controlled economy helped promote social justice, it could not increase the pace of productivity. That is why, though it promoted the social equity, it became the equity of poverty. Similarly, the liberal economy has widened the gulf between the haves and have-nots, urban and rural, and promoted a culture that very few chunk of people hold sway over huge properties across the world. How the Nepalese cooperatives sector is going to mark the event? The government and cooperative activists have planned to organize various events such as rallies, awareness campaigns, publicity programmes, conference, tours among other programmes to mark the IYC. We have officially launched the IYC in Nepal on Magh 13. Thereafter, the NCF has formed a national committee that is going to organize an international gathering on June 3-4. We have asked all the cooperatives across the country to organize at least one programme during the IYC-2012. We have already held more than 1,000 various types of programme this year. Although the Interim Constitution of Nepal-2063BS has included cooperatives as one of the three pillars of our economy, neither the government nor the cooperatives movement has brought any significant programmes to enhance the contribution of this sector. What do you say about this? I fully agree with you that the government has no specific programmes to boost the sector. However, we, on the part of the cooperative movement, have been constantly lobbying for introducing some programmes for promoting the cooperatives sector in the country. We are trying our best to include more and more provisions of cooperatives sector in the new constitution. How do you assess the cooperatives movement in Nepal? Largely, the cooperatives movement in Nepal is dynamic. The year 2011/12 is the year in which we had extensive debates on the issue of cooperatives in our country. People from various walks of life, including intellectuals, stepped down to the floor with their perspectives for and against the cooperatives to take part in the debate. This year, the cooperatives sector has been able to be the issue of national debate in its 55-year history. We have formulated a strategic plan, cooperatives policy. Quantitatively, there are around 24,000 cooperatives across the country. There is at least three per cent contribution of this sector to the gross domestic products (GDP). The share capital has exceeded to Rs. 20 billion with the annual turnover of Rs. 150 billion in the cooperatives. The number is growing. However, there is a challenge for enhancing their capacity and knowledge with proper training and education. Besides, the cooperatives sector has played a significant role in creating social harmony, awareness, maintaining gender balance, inclusion and democratization in the economic sector. Initially, the concept of cooperatives had started with an aim of attaining inclusive and equal development. But if we look at the context of Nepal, we find that nearly 80 per cent of the cooperatives are established and operated in the urban centres. First of all, cooperatives are directly related with people. Where there are people, there are cooperatives. Definitely, there is more population in the urban areas. Therefore, it is likely to have more cooperatives in such urban areas. However, we have cooperatives in all the 75 districts and in almost all the villages. What do you think are the reasons behind the failure to develop production-based cooperatives in line with the saving and credit cooperatives? The country itself is in transition. Owing to this, we could not have focused on forming production-based cooperatives. As saving and credit cooperatives are easier to operate compared to production-based cooperatives, their number is undeniably higher. People often criticize that there was only quantitative growth of cooperatives in Nepal rather than the qualitative one. What is the reality? Yes, I agree with you. It is mainly in the dearth of supporting infrastructures, technical guidance and proper knowledge. However, we have asked the government to enhance the Nepalese cooperatives movement. The cooperatives often face criticism for promoting evils and littering the society. As the chairman of the umbrella organization of the cooperatives across the country, what is your say? We have been reiterating that if someone does not follow the seven principles, norms and characteristics of cooperatives, s/he should not join the cooperatives movement. Besides, there are trends that people often see negative aspects. There may be 99 per cent positive aspect and one per cent negative. However, people often notice the negative aspect. However, we should not blame the whole movement in the name of few opportunists and anomalies. You said there is around Rs. 150 billion as a deposit in the cooperatives sector. What types of plan do you have to mobilize such a huge amount? We have been effortful in mobilizing the deposits of the cooperatives in various productive sectors. We have been preparing legal and policy ground to mobilize the deposits in such a way that it will help substitute the imports, promote exports, create employment, alleviate poverty and move the total economy of the country ahead. Hydropower, small and cottage industries are some of the potential sectors. The government has recently established a separate ministry, Ministry of Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation, to look after the cooperatives sector. How do you think it will go further? The establishment of a separate ministry will help promote the cooperatives movement in the country. It will bring this sector into a well-ordered system. The cooperative sector was directionless in the dearth of a proper line ministry for long. There were always problems with convincing the secretaries and ministers on the issues and obstacles of the cooperatives movement. Once we manage to convince them in some way, it would be difficult for us to concentrate them on our business. Now, there will be a particular job for them. They will get some knowledge themselves as they have to lead the ministry. What are the challenges for developing the Nepalese cooperatives sector? Addressing the lack of adequate knowledge, professional and skilled human resources and supporting environment are some of the challenges facing this sector in Nepal. The government should focus on facilitating the movement in several ways such as imparting trainings, building up infrastructure and creating awareness. How do you the prospects of this sector? There are ample prospects of cooperatives in Nepal. There is an increased attraction of people towards the cooperative movement. However, the government should aptly guide the movement with a proper check and balance mechanism. Otherwise, it might get derailed.
