Summary: Victor has won gold at the Turin Olympics, and Yakov should be enjoying a well-earned rest. At least, he would be if Victor and Chris hadn't decided to put Victor's gold medal to some creative use...
A substantial portion of the blame for this fic lies with naraht for egging me on. Also, a bunch of students years ago who decided that what their art show catalogue cover really needed was creative use of ring doughnuts and caused me a busy morning at work.

Apple Remote keeps unpairing with iMac
The title says it all, my Apple Remote keeps unpairing for some unknown reason.
When it happens I have to manually unpair it on System Preferences then pair it again and it works fine. Later on - could be minutes, hours or days - it unpairs itself and I have to redo the pairing procedures all over again.
We do have Apple TV upstairs with its own remote and I'm using my remote on my 2011 iMac 27" could it be that when some other person is using the Apple TV upstairs it has some sort of software priority over my iMac thus unpairing with my computer and pairing with Apple TV? But if so why nobody complained when I'm hopelessly trying to use the remote downstairs, wouldn't it be changing channels upstairs if it's paired with the Apple TV and I'm clicking every button out of frustration?
I'm confused with this whole thing, anyone knows what's going on? :P
Is this a good question?

Well, it is but ten more weeks. Tuesday September 3rd, 2002
In about ten weeks we, here in the good ole US of A, will be going to the polls to elect Congressman, Governors, Senators, Mayors, City Councilmen, and others to rule over us. Many of you will forget the fact that the worst members of the US Senate are or were Republicans. Many of you will forget that here in Maine, the pro-life candidate for the northern half of the state is not Republican Raye, but Democrat Mike Michaud.
Around 1950 years ago the half brother of our Lord and Saviour Jesus, wrote to us to remind us that we should judge the person and his positions, not based upon clothing, looks, or political parties, but by his proven positions.
My brethren, have you not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons? For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; and ye have respect to him that wears the gay clothing, and say unto him, "sit thou here in a good place"; and say to the poor, "stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool": Are ye not then being partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
Hearken, my beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy Name (Jesus) by the which ye are called? (James 2:1-7)
Let's look at James writings a bit more carefully in light of the upcoming elections. When you go blindly and vote for a candidate based upon his appearance, party affiliation or the such, and not upon his stands and how they line up with the teachings of Christ, you, in the words of James: "Are ye not then being partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?" In other words you are honoring the man, not for his voting record or positions taken, but instead just because he is a republican or looks good or promises to put an extra chicken in your pot.
In the Second Congressional District of Maine there are two men running, one is a Republican, his name is Raye and he is every bit as pro-abortion as Maine's two Senators, Snowe and Collins. Yet on the other hand there is also running a Democrat, His name is Michael Michaud, he has been a State Rep and then State Senator for years and has the most Pro-Life voting record in the Maine Legislature. Raye on the other hand is a former Collins and Snowe lackey, having bent the knee to both on various occasions and sharing identical political philosophies. He, through his ads, claims to have identical positions as Snowe and Collins on abortion. Snowe and Collins have perfect 100% pro-abortion voting records.
I want this to sink in: If you vote for a candidate who is pro-abortion, you are pro-abortion! It is your responsibility to know where the candidates really stand. For had the two Republican Senators form Maine, Collins and Snowe, voted to uphold the ban on partial birth abortion, partial birth abortion would now have been illegal in the USA for five years and a half million or so babies would be alive.
I don't care what Democrat Mike Michaud's positions on taxes, health care, or anything else are, he is pro-life and has the voting record to prove it and if you call yourself anti-abortion and pro-life and vote for Republican baby hater Raye in ten weeks, then you are a liar, you are not pro-life, you are pro-abortion! I will even go further, I will say this with no hesitation, if you are not pro-life, you are not a Born Again Christian!
Now, in the First congressional district of Maine, just the opposite is true, the Democrat, incumbent Allen is the pro-abortion baby hater, while Steve Joyce the Republican is the one that offers the baby in the womb a chance of life. And while Steve Joyce is not as pro-life as Mike Michaud, he is light years ahead of Allen.
Since 1973, over seventy million babies have been murdered while trapped in the supposed safety of their mothers wombs. Do you really think God is going to turn the other check as you vote for men who will support the continuation this slaughter?
Read this carefully: A bit over two thousand years ago, God left the comfort of His throne room and came to earth as a speck in the womb of a young Jewish Virgin named Mary. God spent nine months in Mary's womb and then was born as a human child named Jesus. Do you think for even one moment that God is going to forgive the slaughter of what He once was, a baby in the womb?
Do you not think He will ask you; What did the baby do?, Why did you kill your baby?
When you support, by your vote, those who support abortion, you spit in the face of God. You support the destruction of one who is made in God's image. For God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: Who is the US? Who is the Our? The Us and the Our in Genesis 1:26 is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. What is the image of Jesus? Jesus started His time here on earth, not as grown up, but as a speck in the womb of Mary. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, "Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, "Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call His name JESUS." (Luke 1:26-31)
We who are Christ's hold the deciding votes. If we vote Pro-Life, the Pro-Life candidate will win. If we stay home or vote for the pro-abortion candidate, the pro-abortion candidate will win. If you put anything ahead of the candidates position on abortion, you may very well be condemning another seventy million babies to death by slow torture, by being ripped apart or slowly eaten up by a salt water solution. You have ten weeks to decide where you stand, are you going to be a good little democrat or republican and vote the party line. Or are you going to take a stand for Christ and vote based solely upon what that man will do with his vote when the life of the baby in the womb is on the line?
Once again: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon! (Matthew 6:24)
The decision is yours, President Bush is a president that can and does read the political wind. If he sees a strong Pro-Life vote, he will be strongly Pro-Life.

Instagram Strategy: What Can We Learn From Our Impressions?
I think it's safe to assume that if you're reading this post, you have an Instagram account. And I'm guessing that that Instagram is also probably a business account, or you're thinking about making the switch from personal if you haven't moved over to business already. In the age of influencers, it can be so easy to get blinded by numbers (specifically your follower count). But there are some numbers that can be of use to you—that you can look at and analyze to draw conclusions about what you're doing that is working well and what you could improve upon. Wow, If only my AP statistics teacher could see me now! Don't worry I'm not going to be doing any fancy math here, but rather look at some numbers, identify common themes that I notice on my Instagram account and draw conclusions about what kinds of photos people like, and what they scroll past faster than you can say "#sponsored."
First, let's clarify some terminology. Today, I'm just going to be focusing on impressions. Engagement is any way a user interacts with your post. This can mean a like, a comment or a save. On the other hand, an impression on Instagram means that someone has seen your post—maybe they've clicked on it on the explore page or maybe they follow you and it appeared in their feed. In my case, posts with higher impressions are the result of one of two things: 1. One of my followers saw the photo and went back to look at it again or 2. Many people who don't follow me saw the photo for some reason. Both are great because in the first case it means my followers like what they see so much they've gone back for a second look or that something about the photo (maybe the geotag, a hashtag, or the content of the image) caught the attention to someone outside of my follower sphere. And if they liked that, there's a chance they may go to my profile to like more photos and may even take it a step further and click that follow button.
With an Instagram business account you have access to your analytics, and one thing that I find fascinating to look at is my impressions. I recently went onto this page and took screenshots of my photos with the most impressions and my photos with the fewest impressions over the last year.
Let's start with my photos that have the fewest impressions. Now this is not to say that they're not great photos or that I don't love them, it just means that in terms of overall performance and the kind of content that people expect on my feed, there was something about them that just didn't amaze my audience. Here are some of the common things I notice that these photos have in common:
Flat lays + Product specific shots
Looking back at some of these photos (most of which were posted 6-12 months ago) I can totally see why they didn't get a huge amount of impressions. Many of the product shots look a lot like ads or content that would be coming from a brand. If I were to re-do some of those, I'd incorporate them more into my own environment rather than isolate them on a marble background. I find that that looks great on my blog and Pinterest, but it doesn't come across as well on Instagram.
I also now know that unless I create a vertical crop of a video with a great still image, I probably wouldn't put it on my feed. Instead I post my 15-second teasers on my stories where more people are likely looking for them.
Scenic photos with no people in them
I think that for a lot of these, my caption didn't say a whole lot about the photo. They didn't necessarily provide context and in that way they didn't provide value. One shot of the NYC skyline simply read "It's rooftop season as long as I say it is." It's cute but it certainly wouldn't make you come back to it for any reason or look at it for longer than a few seconds.
Fashion week photos
This is the one time of the year where most of my own personal 'gram rules go out the window. I know I spam my feed with content from fashion week and I'm sure the people who follow me follow other editors too. I know that content is much better served on stories but sometimes there's a look I love and don't want to forget like the lemon yellow Claudia Li dress or the Eugenia Kim hats.
There are a few photos mixed in here that are crisp, well-lit photos of me that just seem to have not done that well? Those I don't understand! Maybe it had something to do with the time I posted or what the captions were.
Let's move on to my photos with the most impressions. Here are some common themes I noticed:
This doesn't surprise me at all because Andrew is very easy on the eyeballs. But for real, I get it. I'm a human, you're a human, we're nosy by nature! We want to know about each other's personal lives and romantic relationships whether we admit it or not.
Food pics
This is why food Instagrams have hundreds of thousands of followers. People love to look at photos of great food. It's just a fact. And New York has so many places with Instagrammable foods. So the prosecco donut, the salmon bagel from the Tiffany's cafe, the cotton candy ice cream, and the taro smoothie from Tayaki that comes with its own unicorn floatie are things that I would stare at all day too. I bet the geotags played a big part in the high impressions for these.
Again, this is pretty self explanatory. Although I do find it funny that my photos with Hilary Duff and Whitney Port aren't up there with Hari Nef and Rachel and Bryan of Bachelor fame. But hey, they're all great!
My bedroom
This is part two of that whole being nosy thing. Whenever I take photos in my bedroom, where I spend so much time, people feel like they're being let in on something intimate and personal, and they are! I also feel like my room has a lot of red in it which really makes it pop on my feed.
Bathing suit photos
It also appears that people like to look at other people's bodies and I think we have the Kardashians to thank for this. I have to admit this is a little intimidating thinking that all of those people are just sitting there looking at your body, likely criticising parts of it whether they express those opinions via comment or not. But hey, if you're feeling good in the swimsuit, POST THE PHOTO.
Classic New York shots
The rooftop shots, the street style, the colorful restaurants...anything that is quintessential New York is something my followers love to see.
There's also a fashion week photo here that did really well! It was taken at Lauduree Soho where J. Mendel hosted his presentation. I mean it's gorgeous so I get why people liked it, but it's interesting that other fashion week photos were at the bottom of the spectrum. I guess those are just hit or miss sometimes.
Have you ever gone back and looked at your Instagram impressions? What can you learn from them?

Dear Blue Floral Shirt Lady in line at Starbucks around 2:30 today,
Thank you so much for allowing me to hear your entire phone conversation. Every time your phone would make that obnoxious "beep-beep" noise, I waited with bated breath for the next tidbit to spew forth. I am really glad that your phone has taken the speaker phone concept to the next level and works as a walkie-talkie. How novel!
I particularly enjoyed the story about your vaginal infection and how your "man wouldn't come near [your] coochie with a ten foot pole". The comment about your 15 year old sister being "a hoe and knocked up" was also great listening.
So, Blue Floral Shirt Lady, if you're reading this, thanks again. I learned WAY more than I ever wanted to about you (and your coochie) today.
Really Grossed Out

Every decision that you make can alter your lifestyle – whether it is something that you notice every day in your household or the inconspicuous linear shower drain, everything has a bearing on how relaxed and comfortable your feel at home. In the latter case, you will notice that there is something missing precisely when the drainage system becomes faulty. If it wouldn't happen so, then you might as well not even know that this small detail actually counts very much. After all, the quality of life depends also on the body's hygiene. And when the musty smell of water beneath the tiles manifests itself, or when water begins overflowing, taking your daily shower won't be so relaxing at all.
Of course, patching the old drainage system is always a viable option – however, these signs mean for certain that you should be on the lookout for a new linear wetroom drain with traps. Stylish, robust, and easy to maintain, this is the perfect choice that you should make – forget all about the standard point drains, because the modern days belong to the linear ones.
There is a large variety of linear drains that can be found on the market right now – and the best ones are, obviously, made from stainless steel. Basically, if you choose a lengthier linear drain, you shouldn't worry about water infiltrating beneath the tiles or about the stagnant water above them. Whether it is in the corner or tightly pasted on the wall, it is the same thing – when it comes to this choice, it all depends on your preferences.
Of course, you must take into consideration some factors when choosing the right type of linear drain, such as the types of tiles that you already have or you want to replace. But, more importantly, you need to choose the opening of the drain – if it is too narrow, then water will overflow. If it is too wide, then most definitely it will clog very easily. Usually, the opening for the linear shower drain is about 2.5 inches – but it all depends on what you want.
This isn't all, since your new drains can be customized, particularly the grates on the drain (if you opt for a wider opening). Besides the led lighting (which, besides looking very modern, is very helpful during the night), you could always have some inscriptions of your own on it – after all, it is your own and it should be just the way you want it. This is also the best way in which you could choose the right retailer – the one that could meet these types of eccentric needs (which aren't at all that eccentric) is the one that, most likely, has everything that you need.
Of course, one you have installed your new drainage system, you shouldn't just leave it to that – while the linear drains are durable and reliable, they should be cleaned every now and then, in order to prevent clogging and in order to keep their shiny new look.
Of course, you could always go for the ready-made linear shower drain systems – while you cannot make so many choices and while you cannot customize them, they are as reliable as any other.

Grosvenor Construction believes that the most important factor in any business is its people. Along with this comes a recognition that there are many hundred's of years experience in traditional building skills retained within the Company as a whole.
Our services and knowledge attest to the general principles of building conservation and include:
non-destructive investigation and assessment,
- understanding of damp in historic buildings,
- timber decay and its conservation,
- the principles of stone cleaning.
- Assistance with Quinquennial Inspections
The following skills complement this approach:
- Use of traditional lime mortars,
- wood and stone carving,
- material, cleaning, consolidation and sympathetic replacement,
- traditional plastering techniques,
- traditional roofing techniques
- use of hydroscopic building materials
We don't, however 'rest upon our laurels'. Grosvenor Construction recognises that such valuable skills need to be nurtured and passed on. This is exemplified by our commitment to encouraging a framework for continuous development of our staff through a systematic appraisal and training programme, which includes the recently pioneered CSCS Heritage Skills Card.
Our programme not only ensures the development of our staff, but also the reduction of logistical nightmares through lack of resources, thus ensuring that we have a professional team covering the full spectrum of conservation based skills and services at all times.

I'm looking forward to my 4th year performing at the FoCoMX festival in Old Town Fort Collins as an acoustic folk musician. I'll be doing a singer-songwriter set, joined by Bob Montgomery on keyboards and accordion. We'll be at Elliot's Martini Bar on Linden Street from 5:30 - 6:15 p.m. for a 21+ ages show. Wristbands can be purchased at www.focomx.focoma.org. Hope to see you there!
I'm happy to announce that all of the music from my three self released albums is now archived on You Tube at this link: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCNrGhvZNhKZi4h1YxMGM3Tw/playlists?view=1&sort=lad&flow=grid ~Please listen and enjoy~
Looking forward to my performance tonight with the Rosann Winn Trio, in the Denver area at the Park Regency Senior Care Village. It will be a Silent Auction & Event raising funds for the Alzheimer's Association. And I'll be traveling and performing with my great musical friends, Bob Montgomery on piano and Ron Holleman on trumpet. We'll do a mix of jazz standards, some favorite acoustic covers, and my original songs.
Last week I was honored to perform at the Avogadro's 6th Annual Labor Day Jazz Festival with three groups - The Colorado Swing Big Band, The Just Jazz Quintet, and The Montgomery Jazz Group. What a day for jazz in Northern Colorado, with two stages of music running all day, inside and outside. It was also a great day for Northern Colorado musicians to network and support one another in our craft. Other groups playing that day were the Steve Johnson Group, The Twirling Zucchini Trio, Aakash Mittal Trio, The Poudre River Irregulars, Square Peg, The Jazz Cookers, Dave Lunn & the Ft. Collins Youth Jazz Project, and The Denver Jazz Club Youth All-Stars. Thanks to Rob Osborne, owner of Avogadro's Number for continuing to host this fantastic event year after year. Thanks also to Ron Holleman and Bob Montgomery for their time in organizing the event!

This warm apple rice pudding is comfort in a glass. We need loads of it right now, people.
Is this America right now?! It's 2018 and we're seriously out here having to defend our right to exist over and over and over and over and over again.
Is it not enough that we have done whatever it took to assimilate?
We grew up and left our slang behind, or at the very least only code switch in majority brown spaces. We didn't associate with people who were deemed 'trouble'. My entire adolescence was defined by the phrase 'dime con quien andas, y te dire quien eres' (tell me who you hang with and I will tell you who you are). We dropped friends who participated in questionable behavior due to an instilled fear of ending up a drug addict or in prison.
We monitored our grammar and diction to belie our immigrant beginnings. We pick up some ridiculously boring sport like golf – that until Tiger Woods came on the scene was a majority white sport. We brunch and expertly grasp wine stems to assimilate into spaces which increasingly view us as… Threats. We're too loud, or too slow, too extra – but what they really mean is we're too brown, too black. We are labeled uppity or ungrateful if we dare enter with confidence and feel at ease inhabiting these spaces; a right we have earned.
We are viewed through the prism of our enslaved ancestors – Hardy, indestructible, volatile, dangerous, angry. Our ancestors were property – Stolen, branded, beaten, raped, forcefully assimilated into a foreign culture – And we managed to survive it long enough to continue procreating, to thrive even. We are seen as impervious to abuse, as if we're not fragile, which is why it's done so often and so easily.
We are treated as if our freedom is designed to be tenuous. These publicized incidents of racist ass, fragile ass people calling the police on people of color for merely living their dang lives cements the belief that People of Color aren't free – We're just loose. And apparently the racists know this. They thrive on calling the police to serve as THEIR enforcers. I mean, by law we cannot be excluded or kicked out of restaurants or schools or venues. By calling police officers and merely stating they feel 'nervous' or 'threatened' they stay playing with our lives.
If you viewed the latest incident at Yale University where a white graduate student called the police on a black graduate student for napping in a common room area, you'll understand what I mean. The smugness in which she states she had 'every right to call the police. You cannot sleep in that room' as she took photos… Lord. This bitch was bothered by the mere PRESENCE of another person. A person who lived in the VERY SAME building. She was so bothered that she called the police to enforce the point: She didn't belong.
When I hear people state racism is a thing of the past – Why do we bring it up – They must inhabit spaces where people look just like them. My son attends a majority African American high school. A vast majority of the teachers are either African American or Latino – The students are either African American or Latino. They lived in innocuous environments where – As the majority and in varying shades of brown – They do not face micro aggression or racism. This may soon change and as much as it hurts, I'm preparing for son for it. Almost all the boys in my son's High School will graduate and attend college in majority white spaces. Spaces that may be welcoming, or spaces where some racist will believe our sons don't belong because the color of their skin. A person who instead of engaging or interacting with our brown sons and realize the only thing that set them apart is skin color – Will immediately view them as a threat and put THIER lives in jeopardy.
People truly need to understand what it means to be brown in America right now and stop this both sides 'you don't know the whole story, wait for all the facts' – ESPECIALLY when there is VIDEO PROOF OF INJUSTICE – bullshit. If you find what is happening appalling, speak the hell up. Don't be a spectator, don't grab your phone and take video and then discuss how unfair shit is with your friends. That changes nothing.
Stand the hell up. Be an ally. Like a true ally – not 'Facebook or Twitter status' ally. We need you on the ground, right now. We need people to stop playing with our lives.
Now flow with me quickly – I made you this bomb ass Warm Apple Rice Pudding. I'm not going to lie, I made this rice pudding in November (I think). I took a long break and didn't get around to posting this. It's here now. Sorry about the leaves. And it's just as good today, as it was back in November. If you made apple butter (and I hope you did) – You should have some left over. Store bought is fine too.
Rice is steeped in apple cider and spices for about an hour. The rice is then brought to a boil. As the liquid reduces the apple and spices bond to the granules of rice, infusing it with flavor. Milk – Whole, evaporated, and sweetened condensed are added, followed by apple butter and maple syrup. We roll deep in flavor here. A bit of vanilla extract for another layer of flavor. Finally, some raisins. Golden ones. This mixture is cooked over low heat. It's stirred and stirred. There's a rhythm to stirring. You'll get it. Be sure to stir often, as no one enjoys burnt rice pudding.
Serve it warm.
Serve it cold.
Just serve it.
Warm Apple Rice Pudding
- 3 ½ cups apple cider
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup white rice preferably long grain
- 5 cinnamon sticks
- ¾ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups apple butter (homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3-4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup Golden raisins (heaping)
- In a heavy 8 quart saucepan, soak the rice, cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, ground ginger and grated nutmeg, apple cider, and water for about 1 hour.
- Once the rice has soaked bring the rice mixture to a boil over medium/high heat, uncovered. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 12 to 15 more minutes or until water is almost evaporated. You should still see some moisture.
- Add the apple butter, whole, evaporated, and condensed milks to the rice. Stir to incorporate and taste. Add maple syrup, followed by the sugar - one tablespoon - at a time. Stir and taste the mixture. Don't be tempted to add too much sugar or all the sugar. The rice pudding will get sweeter as it cooks and thickens. Also, the raisins contribute greatly to the overall sweetness of your rice pudding. Always start with a tablespoon at a time and add more once the mixture thickens if it's not sweet enough for you.
- Add the salt, vanilla extract and raisins to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring carefully and often until the mixture thickens and desired consistency has been reached, about 25-35 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks and allow rice pudding to cool slightly. Portion into ½ cup serving dishes. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, garnish with raisins, and enjoy!
- Note 1: I eat my rice pudding while it's still hot, but cold rice pudding is just as amazing.
- Note 2: Rice pudding thickens as it cools, so if you like yours on the thinner side remove from the stove after about 15-20 minutes.
- Rice pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days.
- Makes about 8-10 1/2 cup servings.

BURLINGTON, Iowa -- Police are looking for a man they say is connected to a shots fired call reported on Friday morning, November 17.
According to the Burlington Police Department, officers responded to the 500 block of South 8th Street for reports of shots fired just before 11:00 a.m. on Friday morning.
Police say they found several shell casings near Angular and South 9th St. There were no injuries reported but police were able to gather multiple witness and victim statements. A suspect was developed based on those statements and video surveillance of the area.
Later Friday afternoon, officials say a search warrant, related to the shots fired call, was conducted by the Des Moines County TRU team in the 700 block of Lewis Street in Burlington.
Two warrants were issued for the arrest of Adderryl Harris, 29, of the Lewis Street residence in Burlington. He is charged with attempted murder and possession of firearm by felon.
Officials say Harris is considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is encouraged to call the Burlington Police Department at 319-753-8366 or Burlington Area Crimestoppers at 319-753-8370.

Tell us a little about yourself. At what age have you started listening to punk and goth music? What inspired you to create your first band?
Jacques: I started to listen to punk and goth at the age of 15. I got in the genre with classics, Sex Pistols and Cure. When I discovered that music, I was so thriled that I wanted to play it as well. I got my first guitar and created my first band with a few friends the week after. Basically, I wanted to escape from my daily misery playing music and express myself.
My first bands were complete crap. In 2000 I co-founded a cold wave band called Regard with other Parisian musicians. We released a demo, played only 3 gigs then I left and created Sleeping Children back in 2003.
First of all I'd like to know your way from Sleeping Children to Secular Plague and from Secular Plague to Virgin in Veil , but then I decided not to stir up such a distant past and concentrate on the period from Secular Plague to Virgin in Veil.
Why did you decide to play deathrock again?
Jacques: Most people don't get it, but I've always been into both deathrock and punkier stuff. For me, there's not such difference between let's say, Christian Death and Amebix. Of course, the way of playing is different, but the core of the music is the same: a dark, pessimistic and angry music. So "switching" back to deathrock has been something extremely natural for me. I just play the music I enjoy listening to, that's it.
As I told you before the spirit of Secular Plague can be clearly heard in Virgin in Veil, because you know , both of you and the drummer are from that band , but Suzi Sabotage also took part in the recordings. For obvious reasons, you are involved in each other projects (I mean your marriage , but we won't directly get to it in the interview)
Is it a constant cooperation or just a temporary part? Can you call "ViV" your joint project?
Jacques: Suzi is indeed an influence to me, as I'm to her. I think we have both really benefit from the experience of the other in the different projects we are involved in. She hasn't only sang backing vocals on the recording, she also wrote "Heartthrobs" lyrics and helped me mixing the demo. It is not sure as of now is Suzi is going to be a permanent member of Virgin in Veil, but it's a definite that she is going to cooperate on future recordings.
In April you and Masquerade are going for a tour to Finland , and later will visit Russia , what do you expect from these two tours?
Jacques: Fuck man, I'm excited! I'm really looking forward those two tours, in whom I'll play with my three bands. Russia is in my opinion the best place to play punk I ever played in, so I'm really looking forward playing there again!
Russia has always had a relatively small audience of old school fans, who loved the sound of early 80's & 90's, as well as the yearly changing generation of Herkos (that's how we called fans of gothic metal and alternative rock with dark image) (A.K.A Baby Bats).
In the past few years Shoegaze, Post-punk and Witchhouse has gained popularity in Russia (in fact a bunch of obscure tags showed up such as Crime wave, Black wave, etc.) aimed groups that soon became associated with the goth movement.
How do you feel about such phenomena and what do you think of the Goth and post-punk scene in the world in general?
Jacques: Honestly, I think the scene was better 10 years ago. Well, not only better, but also a lot easier for bands to find gigs, record labels, etc. Nowadays when you play somewhere, most of the time the venue doesn't even offer musicians a free beer. But there's lots of great bands in the current scene, such a shame they doesn't get the recognition they deserve.
Can you name a few young little known attention worthy bands?
Jacques: My latest crush is Sierpien from Moscow, we're going to play with them in their hometown. I also love Valse Triste a lot, which is a punk band from Finland.
And finally , when can we expect a full Virgin in Veil album?
Jacques: We are currently looking for a label which feels suicidal enough to release it. If you're a label reading this, and if you are not afraid to deal with difficult people with oversized rockstar egos, you're warmly welcome to contact me. I'm writing new songs, so a full length could be ready in, let's say, a few months.
Final words to our readers and listeners?
Jacques: Well Russia, we're coming and we're going to corrupt your youth… Thanks for your interest and see you very soon!

Does size matter? Yes, at least to the gossip magazines and TV shows when the topic is a celebrity diamond engagement ring. But a big rock clearly doesn't help couples stay together in a marriage.
Elizabeth Taylor received a 29.4-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring from producer Michael Todd. The marriage lasted one year. This ring was minuscule in comparison to the 69-carat pear-shaped diamond ring Richard Burton gave to Elizabeth in 1969. Alas, the famous duo was twice married and twice divorced. Elizabeth has received several gorgeous rings in her lifetime from seven different suitors/husbands, yet no diamond nor man has been able to keep Liz happy for very long.
Modern celebs in love haven't fared any better than their glamorous predecessors. Before "Brangelina", there was "Bradifer." Brad Pitt proposed to Jennifer Anniston with a 3-carat Damiani ring, which was just perfect until a little project titled "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" came along. (The still ring-less and unmarried Angelina appears to be quite in love, albeit without the symbol on the left ring finger from the father of her six children.)
Jenny from the block, AKA Jennifer Lopez, was indeed fooled by the rock that she got from Ben Affleck. A 4-carat pear-shaped diamond wasn't enough to keep Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey together. And although Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah's couch and professed his love to Katie Holmes with a 6-carat oval diamond ring, my guess is there's some sort of contract between the two and once that's up, she's out of there. Still, the publicists continue to keep the dream alive...
I have high hopes that some of these favorite recent celeb-marriages will work out, in spite of the giant bling they flaunt in front of the paparazzi: Jennifer Hudson (5 carat center diamond); Ali Larter (4 carats); Katherine Heigl (4 carat pear-shaped diamond); Beyonce (18 carats); Eva Longoria (5 carat emerald-shaped diamond); and J Lo (14.5 carat cushion-cut from Marc Anthony. It's a wee bit larger than the 6.1 carat pink diamond she wore when engaged to Mr. Affleck.)

Walking home from Abcb after work, Kyousuke and Madoka run across a beat-up girl. She is Oryu, an old friend of Madoka's. Madoka stands off a female gang in the alley while Kyousuke hides Oryu. The gang leader rides up on her skateboard, and tells her members to keep looking. Back at her house, Madoka bandages Oryu's wounds. Madoka wants to help, but Oryu doesn't want her to get involved, ``Didn't I tell you its none of your business?'' Madoka tells Kyousuke ``She was unbeatable around here, when she was in junior high.''
The next day at school, many students have been beaten up or mugged. ``It's a gang from the next town.'' They all think someone should do something, but everyone makes excuses not to. Madoka is watching this from behind a tree. Kyousuke, it turns out, is watching Madoka, but she notices him. He's worried about her returning to her old ways.
Inside, Komatsu and Hatta are trying to get some sympathy out of Kurumi and Manami. Both are heavily bandaged. It doesn't work the way they planned; they get into a fight, and the girls leave them, tied up together in their bandages.
On the school roof, Hikaru is talking with Kyousuke about his worries. She tells him, ``She told me lots of times that if she gets involved with those kind of fights, she'd get to know the police too well, so she'll never get involved.'' Then the idea comes to Hikaru, ``but maybe for Oryu's sake...'' This doesn't reassure either of them.
At Abcb, a group of girls come to tell Madoka that Oryu has been captured by the female gang. They also state that no-one around here can go up against these gals.
Madoka remembers one rainy night. A group of gals wants her to join their gang. She is standing there calmly flipping a guitar pick. They are ready to force her, when a mysterious figure jumps in and knocks them out with a kendama toy she wields like a pair of nunchucks. It's Oryu. She tells Madoka it's good she didn't get involved with these kind of girls. Returning to the present, she opens her ``Pupe-house'' box, which is filled with her special guitar picks and straps a full pick carrier on her leg. Hikaru has just stepped into the room; Madoka hadn't answered the doorbell.
Kyousuke is running over to Ayukawa's when it begins to rain. He hears a cop car pass by and their radios say that the Red Wolf gang is starting to move.
Hikaru tries to stop Madoka from going. She even holds the door shut against her. Yuusaku opens the door on her though; he's dressed for Karate and came to help. Madoka asks him to stay behind with Hikaru, ``If you come with me, I'll ignore you for the rest of your life.'' Failing to stop Madoka, he gives her his bamboo umbrella to take with her.
Madoka runs through the snow, remembering what's happened this past year. The memories come as a series of photographs set in the falling snow. They start with her remembering Kyousuke catching the Red Straw Hat and them meeting for the first time, him crushing her cigarette, Hikaru jumping on the train after they resolved the first confusion with Kazuya, Kyousuke hypnotizing himself in the mirror, him asking her out, Hikaru finding them practicing tennis, herself at school with her arm in a sling, Kyousuke falling asleep studying, him catching her changing, Kyousuke and Hikaru together, him hugging someone else at the disco, Kyousuke and Kumiko undressed, and on the hillside, him saving Hikaru from drowning, him and Yukari at the movies, Madoka slapping Kyousuke, him carrying her down the beach, the two of them on the ground after Kazuya pushed her off the jungle gym, him in a phone booth looking at her when she stopped trying to break off the relationship, a hypnotized Kyousuke complimenting her at the disco, the two of them on the swings when she decided not to go to America, them on the subway, by a tree, almost kissing on the desert island, resting during the marathon, holding hands, her asleep on his shoulder, him holding her, her almost kissing him, the two of them seeing a UFO, swimming at the desert island, running the marathon, holding each other, her taking a picture of the two of them from Kazuya, her saxophone, the Abcb sign, the room 3-A sign, him sticking his tongue out at her, the two of them close dancing, her throwing a hypnotized Kyousuke into the fountain, the two of them at school, her taking her torn notebook from him, her playing the saxophone, her sticking her tongue out at him, and finally, again, their first meeting.
Kyousuke catches up to her on a bridge, just like in his dream. He begs her to stop. ``Sorry,'' she can't. He runs after her, but slips on the bridge and falls into the river.
Ushiko and Umao are dressed up doing a traditional style play on the sidewalk. He is begging her not to go and do something. The wind from the passing police cars upsets their act, and they are dumbfounded when Kyousuke runs after the cars and disappears, teleporting. He sets up a barricade across the street ahead of the cars, so they don't catch Madoka. ``That should do the thing for a while,'' and it does, stopping the police cars.
Oryu is tied up and being tortured by the female gang. They are trying to get her to give up her territory. Meanwhile, Madoka attacks the two unsuspecting guards outside by a fire. They were thinking that no-one would rescue her on a night like this. ``It wouldn't be interesting if there wasn't at least one idiot like me.'' Inside Oryu gives her final no. The gang leader tells her to say her prayers and flings her skateboard at her. Halfway there, in midair, it is cut in two. ``It's Ayukawa!'' And Madoka reveals herself, ``If you move an inch, that face will be cut in half.'' The gang attacks, but Madoka handily defeats them with the umbrella. The leader dodges that, but gets a guitar pick instead.
Madoka unties Oryu and then stands up in front of the gang and drops her picks. ``I didn't come here to fight,'' She says, ``Let's settle the matter with this,'' and picks up a skateboard. The gang leader, who has the nickname of ``Skateboard Wolf,'' can't believe that Madoka would challenge her that way, but accepts.
Kyousuke sneaks into the hideout. He sticks his head around a corner straight into Yuusaku's behind. Hikaru and Yuusaku tell him that Ayukawa is in the unfinished building going against the head leader on skateboards. Kyousuke calls to her.
Madoka and Wolf start high up on the girders of this building. The first one to the bottom wins. If Madoka wins, the gang will leave town. If Skateboard Wolf wins, Oryu will give up this territory. Kyousuke wants to try to stop them, but they are stopped by the other gang members. The gang turns over Oryu. ``Why don't you enjoy it with her?''
Madoka follows her opponent down the girders. She successfully dodges the pipes dislodged by the Wolf and catches up to her. The two wrestle for a while, but then find themselves on a dead-end girder. They try to stop, but Wolf doesn't and falls off, screaming. Madoka manages to catch a beam and hold on. Kyousuke stops Wolf from falling all the way to the ground by using his power to get the pipe in her hands caught in the girders. She's hanging from it well above the ground; her gang members faint. Madoka finishes the race, comes down off the building and runs into Kyousuke. He catches her, they hug, and then happily look at each other. Oryu watches this with a smile on her face.
Madoka is visiting Oryu who is recovering in the hospital. Kyousuke, carrying a bouquet of roses, stops at the room door to listen to their conversation. Oryu takes a cigarette and offers Madoka one. Madoka declines saying that she's quit. ``Oryu, If you smoke now, you won't be able to have healthy babies. --- A certain person told me that.'' Kyousuke drops the roses he was carrying in surprise, and Oryu laughs a knowing laugh. Madoka blushes, embarrassed by this, and Kyousuke is happy that she has returned to the Madoka he knew.

CLIFF TOP Greece retreat - June 2019
*UPDATE 01.05.19: Two places have come newly available on this retreat! Choose to share a room or to have a room to yourself, both with ensuite bathroom*
Kick start your summer with a week of yoga, delicious food, sun and relaxation in gorgeous Greece
What better way to start your summer than a week of Greek sun in our gorgeous cliff top villa, complete with its own infinity pool and private beach? Practise yoga morning and evening on our choice of yoga platforms with panoramic sea views; relax and take in the spectacular views from our terrace, keeping an eye out for dolphins in the bay below; cool down with a dip in our pool, or snorkel in the clear, calm sea; or maybe walk, swim or take our private motor boat to a local taverna or one of the many small beaches along this stretch of coastline. Return home feeling revived and rejuvenated!
All the details you'll need are below. Or to secure your spot with just a 25% deposit click here!
The yoga
We'll practise yoga morning and evening. Start your day with an energising but mindful vinyasa flow, with panoramic views of the sea and Pelion mountain beyond. You'll set yourself up for the day ahead by moving in time with your breath and strengthening and stretching all your major muscle groups. There will be ample opportunity for personal attention, and to deepen your practice by learning how to adapt the postures to best suit the needs of your own body. After practice perhaps choose to cool down in the crystal clear sea below, following the steps that lead directly from our yoga terrace to our own private diving platform.
Each evening we'll wind down with a calming and grounding practice drawing on yin and restorative styles of yoga, rounded off with a guided relaxation. You'll float out of our evening sessions feeling relaxed, renewed and restored. In addition, we will also practise some simple meditation and breathing techniques that are perfect for keeping the stress free vibe going even after you get back home to real life. Additional private or small group sessions are available on request. We will provide yoga mats, blocks and bolsters, but you are of course very welcome to bring your own if you prefer. One day mid week will be kept free of classes to allow you time to rest, explore further afield or develop your own practice.
Enjoy exceptional vegetarian meals carefully prepared by our cook with fresh, daily and locally sourced produce. After working up an appetite on your mat, brunch will be served on our terrace overlooking the sea. Feast on delicious Greek yoghurt and honey, seasonal fruit salads, nuts and seeds, pastries, eggs, omelettes and frittata, all washed down with freshly squeezed juices, teas and coffees. Our hosts even make their own extra virgin olive oil from olives harvested on their estate.
After our evening practice round off the day with a delicious 3 course dinner. On one evening we will head in to a nearby village to eat at a traditional local taverna. Our fridge will also be kept fully stocked with Greek yoghurt, fruit, nuts and seeds in case you get peckish during the day.
Our house is built of local stone, totally in keeping with the surrounding landscape, and blends naturally into the contours of the hillside. It is flanked by olive trees and the natural flora of the Pelion forests. We have our own spectacular infinity pool with panoramic sea views. Dolphins have been spotted in the bay below in the summer months on several occasions. This area is also a well-known yachter's paradise, and we will have a small motor boat available for use if you wish.
Each of the clean and comfortable bedrooms has sea views and individually controlled air conditioning. We have double, twin and triple rooms available or you can choose to have your own room. If you are coming with a friend or two please let us know, so we can make sure you are all together. Or if you'd like to share a room but are travelling alone we can pair you up with another lovely solo traveller.
Our venue is set on the side of a cliff on the Pelion peninsula of mainland Greece, with stunning 180 degree sea views. If you've never heard of sleepy but beautiful Pelion, check out what Conde Nast Traveller has to say here or Lonely Planet here. Pelion combines both mountains and sea and according to legend was the summer residence of the twelve Gods of Olympus and the mythical country of the Argonauts and the Centaurs. We will be just a 10 minute walk along our private beach from the nearest village, where you'll find a village shop and choice of tavernas.
Other activities
We think you could easily spend a week just relaxing in the sun and taking in the views from our beautiful villa. But if you're feeling more adventurous our pretty nearest village with its tavernas is just a 10 minute walk away. The footpath to the village leads across our private beach. There are also stunning longer walks from our doorstep along the coastal footpath to neighbouring larger villages, with many hidden sandy coves waiting to be discovered en route.
A week here would not be complete without a dip in the calm sea below our villa. Snorkelling is also very popular in this area. You can access the sea via steps that lead directly from our yoga terrace down over the rocks (perfect for cooling off after morning practice!). We also have a small motorboat available for use if you would like to explore the beaches further along the coast. One day mid week will be kept free of yoga classes to give you time to explore further afield, rest or develop your own practice. You can also choose to book a massage with our lovely English speaking masseuse.
You can choose to have your own room or to have your own bed in a shared room (either twin or triple occupancy - come with a friend or two or we can pair you up with another lovely solo traveller). You can secure your spot now with just a 25% deposit.
Choose from the following room types:
SOLD OUT - one space in a shared room with shared bathroom
SOLD OUT - your own room with shared bathroom
One space in a shared room with ensuite bathroom - reserve with a 25% deposit of £198.75 (£795.00 total)
Your own room with ensuite bathroom - reserve with a 25% deposit of £318.88 (£1275.50 total)
Payment plan available on request.
How do I book?
Click on the 'book now' button above. Click 'sign up now', then after login choose 'make single reservation'. Then choose the room type you'd like to reserve (making sure it's marked 'GREECE') and follow the steps to payment.
Please note:
If you are coming with a friend and wish to share a room in our main house you each need to book your space individually. But let us know and we can make sure you are in the same room
If you'd like to share a room but are coming alone that's completely fine - lots of people do it! Just let us know and we can pair you up with another lovely solo traveller
When is it?
Arrive any time after 3:30pm on June 15 2019 and depart by 10am on June 22 2019.
What's included in the price?
Everything you need for the perfect rejuvenating week is included:
7 nights accommodation in our cliff top villa
10 yoga classes
fresh, wholesome brunch every morning
6 delicious dinners
a fridge stocked full of yoghurt, fruits, salads, bread, nuts and seeds for snacking on throughout the day
unlimited tea, coffee and herbal teas
yoga mats, blocks and straps (but feel free to bring your own if you prefer!)
What's not included?
your flights
airport transfers (we can arrange a transfer for you from any Greek airport)
travel insurance (this is required)
massages or extra excursions (if you choose to book one)
dinner at our local taverna on one evening
lunch (we find that after a big brunch and with a substantial dinner in the evening guests prefer a very light lunch. Fruit, yoghurt, breads, nuts, salads and soft drinks that you can help yourself to will be available all day. Or you can easily pick up a snack on a day trip to a local village)
How do I get there?
Volos is our nearest airport, and is approximately 1.5 hours drive from our villa. Easyjet, Monarch and Small Planet airlines offer seasonal charter flights from the UK to Volos. Easyjet fly to and from Volos on Saturdays and, at the time of writing, most of our retreat attendees have chosen to arrive in Volos with Easyjet. We have arranged a group transfer that will meet the Easyjet flights which you can choose to join if you like.
Our nearest large airport is Thessaloniki, which both Easyjet and Ryanair fly to direct from London. It is about a 3 hour drive to our retreat from Thessaloniki. Another option is to fly to Athens airport, which has flights from all over the world and is around a 4 hour drive from our retreat. Previous guests flying into Athens have taken the opportunity to do a bit of sight seeing before heading to our villa. We can help you arrange solo transfers from any Greek airport – just let us know which flights you're coming on and we can give you all the information you'll need.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely, lots of guests on our retreats arrive independently. There is always a warm and welcoming atmosphere with communal activities available, plus ample opportunity for you to take some quiet time for yourself too. You can choose to have a room to yourself, or we can partner you up with another lovely solo traveller to share a room.
I'm coming with a friend. Will we be in the same room?
Each person will need to reserve their space in our main house individually so that we have their details. But of course if you let us know when you have both booked we will do our best to make sure you're sharing. We have double, twin and triple rooms. You can always drop us a line to check on availability beforehand if you want to make sure!
Is it all group activities or can I take some quiet me time?
We will eat brunch and dinner together and people often group together to go on trips, take a walk or just have a chat. But everyone is also positively encouraged to take time to themselves to read, take a stroll on the beach, relax with a swim, go on a solo adventure or just nap in their room.
How many people will there be in class?
Numbers will be limited to a maximum of 14 people, so lots of opportunity for individual attention. Because we keep our attendee numbers low, please be aware that our last retreat sold out 6 months in advance.
I have a question - is there someone I can speak to?
Of course! You can message Olivia directly through our contact form with any questions you might have.
What if I reserve a place then can't make it?
If your circumstances change and you cannot make the retreat in June 2019, we will try to fill your place. If either we or you can fill your empty space we will refund your deposit to you. We normally have a waiting list for our retreats. So if you do realise you can't attend let us know as soon as possible and we can speak to them on your behalf!
What have other people thought of your retreats?
"I thought the yoga was great, the food was delicious, my room and the villa were absolutely delightful, and the company was lovely. Thank you for organising such a lovely week! It was much needed, massively relaxing, and I learnt loads too, as well as it being tons of fun." (Anna, Spain retreat 2018). See more reviews of our retreats here!

I love this idea! I can't wait to start. I do have a question...what's the cover and backing made of?

Hi, Sharkey, Thanks for the comment, you made my day! I took chipboard and just covered them with the paper. That's it, nothing too fancy. I hope that helps! Take care, Michelle

I don't mean to sound like a dingbat, but I see this type of journal everywhere and LOVE them! I can sooo get into the creation of it. But (here comes the dingbat part)what is the purpose once it is created? Only to journal your thoughts in? As a dayplanner of sorts?
- September 18, 2013 at 5:07 AM
- A Creative Operation said...
Hi JANEY*** Thank so much for stoping by! That is a good question, so here is my answer. You can use them for anything you want. I have used some as recipe collectors, writing them in or adhering clippings. I use some as smash books to collect everyday odds and ends. Some use them as journals, and some folks use them as planners. Some use them as notebooks for everyday thoughts and ideas, just to collect them in one central place. I have made a Halloween themed one that I collect ideas for Halloween themed recipies and decorations. This one here I made for a friend that wanted it themed for her boys, to use as a journal/smash book. The possibilities are endless. You can truly make a junk journal with all sorts of junk or recycled papers, or theme it to suit your desires. That's why I love them so much, they are so versatile. I hope this answer helps, and if you give one a go, please send me a message so I can see it!! Thanks for looking!! Michelle

Macfarlanegray wants you and your family to have the peace of mind that insurance can provide. Here are some basic questions and answers about insurance:
How does insurance help our community and society in general?
Who buys insurance?
What is insurance and why is it important?
How does insurance help our community and society in general?
Our society could not function effectively without insurance. There would be so much uncertainty, so much exposure to loss that business, as we know it, might not be able to exist. It would be difficult to obtain any type of financing of assets since very few lenders would be willing to risk funds without a guarantee of safety for their investments.
Insurance helps society by protecting assets and minimizing financial risk. Insurance helps by reimbursing people and businesses for covered losses, encouraging accident prevention, providing funds for investment, enabling people to borrow money, and reducing anxiety.
Insurance provides funds to help businesses grow and create jobs. A significant portion of insurance company premiums are invested within our economy which promotes and stimulates economic growth.
Who buys insurance?
The answer to this question is simple. Almost everyone buys insurance. Insurance protects personal assets (home, auto, individual life and health). It also protects business property, employees and the risk of third party suits against your business.
In addition, most states require insurance for automobiles and for employees (workers' compensation).
What is insurance and why is it important?
Insurance in its many forms touches the life of virtually every person. It provides financial protection for homeowners, renters, car owners, business owners and their employees. It also provides protection for people who suffer personal injuries or property damage at the hands of others. Its value to society is enormous. However, many people don't fully understand how insurance works or the value associated with insurance.
Insurance is fundamental in our day-to-day lives. Insurance is essentially a system by which risk is transferred by a person, business or organization to an insurance company which reimburses an insured for covered losses. Insurance also provides for the sharing of the cost of losses among all insureds.
By transferring risks to insurance companies, insureds exchange the possibility of large losses with potentially devastating financial effects for smaller, certain and manageable costs (insurance premiums).
We will assist in any way we can by reviewing Insurance so that you have a good idea of what to expect before you purchase. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us on any insurance related matter.
