Northern Lebanon girls are tough at home
FREDERICKSBURG - There's no place like home for the Northern Lebanon girls basketball team.
With all due respect, the odds were against Hempfield beating NL on Saturday night in the quarterfinals of the L-L League girls' basketball playoffs and that's the way it played out, with the Vikings taking a 53-31 victory.
The Black Knights (14-9), the No. 3 team from Section One, arrived to challenge the two-time Section Three champion Northern Lebanon (22-1) with plenty of firepower. A cluster of shooters, led by Julianna Clark and Paige Diminick, was capable of posting anywhere from 45 to 70 points, as they did throughout the season.
But points don't come easily in the Vikings' gym, not in front of their standing-room-only crowd and rabid student section, where they haven't lost the last two years.
"We love playing at home," NL senior Amber Kintzer said. "There's no place like it. The atmosphere, the support we get from all our fans, it's unbelievable."
Vikings seniors Megan Brandt, Zoe Zerman and Kintzer know all too well that their number of home games left is dwindling rapidly. In fact, only a first-round District 3 Class 4A game is guaranteed.
With that in mind, they turned their win over Hempfield into a replay of past successes, along with a prelude to one last dance.
"That's something we don't talk about," Kintzer said, "our last home game."
After a sluggish start, in which they trailed 14-10 early, the Vikes' defense took over and they outscored Hempfield 36-13 over the middle two periods.
Hempfield's offense consisted primarily or four Diminick 3-pointers and one by Clark. Otherwise, they had six deuces.
NL, meanwhile, placed four players in double figures.
Zerman played lights out defense on Clark, holding her to five points, and scored 17, including four 3-pointers to offset Diminick's.
Brandt worked the paint like Vincent van Gogh, brushing in 11 points to go with a team-high 12 rebounds for a pivotal double-double.
Kintzer was demonic under the boards and on defense, doing all the little things that have led to the Vikes' 50 wins over the past two years. She also worked free for 10 points underneath.
And junior sniper Lizzie Voight got involved with 11 points, including three second-half 3-pointers to help the Vikes pull away.
Next up is merely an epic semifinal showdown with undefeated Cedar Crest. When was the last time two Lebanon County teams with one loss between them squared off this late in a season?
And what does that say about Lebanon County basketball?
"It says a lot," said NL coach Ken Battistelli, a Cedar Crest grad. "This is just a good time for Lebanon County girls basketball. Cedar Crest has a great team. Lebanon Catholic has a great team. And as I said all year, if Elco hadn't lost their two girls to injury, they would have been right there."
But doesn't Cedar Crest pose a little something extra?
"It'll be a huge game," Battistelli said. "We've never played Cedar Crest in my 10 years here. It'll be interesting. Cedar Crest has to be one of the best teams in the state."
Of the Vikes' 50 wins the past two years, only one other came over a Class 6A team, Manheim Township, in last year's league playoffs. They warmed up against Hempfield, the No. 10-ranked team in 6A, and now face Crest, the No. 2 6A team behind three-time PIAA champ Cumberland Valley.
"I'm looking forward to it," Zerman said. "Megan, Amber and I played them when we were in middle school and Cedar Crest crushed us. I'm anxious to see how we do this time."
Clark, whose Black Knights lost to Crest twice, said the semifinal should be good.
"They're both great teams," she said. "Northern Lebanon played great defense tonight and rebounded really well. This was really a tough place to play. Both Cedar Crest and Northern Lebanon are tough to beat. It should be a good game."
The site and time of their semifinal to be determined.

Retaining Residents in Senior Living
Retaining Residents in Senior Living: Why Resident Satisfaction Surveys are Out of Date, and What to Do About It.
We all know the cost of retention in senior living is vastly cheaper than the cost of trying to get a new resident move in.
Wait… we do know this, right?
So, why do we spend so much money on advertising for new residents and not on keeping our current residents happy? I have a lot of personal opinions on this (hire better staff and keep them happy both with higher salaries and meaning; have more engaging and exciting activities; serve better food; etc).
The problem is that we don't have a lot of statistics to help with this fact. So, is it a fact?
In many industries, customer retention almost provides the same profit as getting new customers. Think retail, or sporting goods, for example. But in living environments, specifically senior living environments, it's better to have happy residents. Happy residents will give you better online reviews, they'll write or record testimonials for you, and more importantly, they'll ask their friends to move in, too and will be happy and engaged when potential residents are coming in for a tour.
By now, most of us get this.
But we also struggle to keep our residents. This is a huge cost.
According to AssistedLivingFacilities.org, the retention rate of assisted living residents was close to 50% in 2010, and more than half of them moved to a different nursing home or residential care center.
Competition is fierce, yes. And new communities are shiny and enticing, kind of. But do we really know what your residents are looking for?
Create Enticing Surveys, and then Follow-Up
In my previous position, in 2015, I created and sent out a series of 5 surveys to every single resident asking for feedback for what they wanted more of. The surveys were divided into the following departments: culinary, lifestyles, activities, extracurricular, and lifelong learning.
This was not a resident satisfaction survey like many companies provide. In fact, one year earlier, my company spent thousands of dollars on a big time resident satisfaction survey from a big time resident satisfaction agency, and less than 25% of the residents completed it.
Our survey was different because we got down to the nityy gritty, asking questions our residents wanted to speak about in ways that made them know they would be heard, and provided online and paper options in order for every resident to fill them out.
Over 600 residents across 16 communities completed every one of the 5 surveys we sent.
What did they want?
- Healthier foods, smaller portions, vegetarian options.
- More interesting foods.
- Informative educational opportunities.
- Better volunteer programming in order to give back and teach others life and business skills.
- Better, more interesting wellness options (yoga, dancing, walking clubs, hand weight classes, balance classes, water aerobics).
We also learned which TV programs and stations they watched, what radio programs and what types of music they listened to, if they read blogs, if they used tablets or smartphones, etc, and how they found out about the community.
How does this help with retention?
We asked the residents what they wanted. And then we either implemented these items, or we set up a meeting to go over reasons why some items could not be implemented now.
Essentially, we asked, and then we followed-up.
It took months for my team to read through all of the survey responses, and to type up reports, and to meet with the sales, lifestyles and operational teams to implement these requests. But we did it, and every time I went to a community after that point, the residents would thank me and the associates would tell me stories about the residents thanking them, that their voices were heard, if nothing else.
We all want to be heard.
Is it a fact that resident retention is cheaper than obtaining new residents? I have seen this to be the case, however I do not have hard facts on the matter, nor am I able to find any legit facts on the matter.
What does this mean?
It can't hurt to ensure your residents are happy. But do not assume you know what they want. You have to ask. Only by asking will you end up with a stronger community, happier residents, happier associates, and less move-outs.
How can Craft & Communicate help?
If you're interested in learning more about these surveys or would like for us to set up a series for your company, please reach out to us today. We love data and diving through responses, and most importantly, we love coming up with ways to make seniors' lives better.

Datacenter Edition
An evolution in Datacenter management education
Around 67% of businesses need to improve their educational offering, according to a Harvard Business Review. Simulcation was developed to offer solutions to the traditional problems associated with business training.
By adding all the benefits of simulated learning with gamification, Simulcation immerses users in an engaging environment - providing not just content, but experience.
In Simulcation Datacenter - the first of our simulations - users discover the real-life consequences of their decisions. By finding the right mix of products, services, and skills, they will make better choices and communicate the wider benefits to their organization in real terms.
'People trained on simulations do their job better, have higher skills, retain information longer and develop a strong belief in their ability and competence to perform in challenging situations.'
University of Colorado
Harvard Business Publishing asked a group of simulation authors questions about their experience using simulations (aka "sims") in the classroom. Their answers show that simulations challenge students to analyze available information and make critical decisions to solve a business challenge. While sometimes perceived as "video games," in fact, the best simulations allow students to experiment with ideas and outcomes and ultimately master the application of concepts to real situations.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has claimed that Sunday's cup final defeat was direct reason for our dismal opening interval against Manchester City.
The Gunners succumbed to a distressing 3-0 loss at the Emirates Stadium, while many fans didn't even make it to the match.
Our side has enjoyed a very impressive season in front of our home crowd, with much of our disappointments coming on the road, but with the adverse weather conditions and warnings, a large number of supporters will not have been able to make the trip, and we therefore ended up playing out the match in front of a minimal size crowd.
Manager Wenger is refusing to blame the support, or lack thereof, and claims that morale could well have played a huge part in the end result.
"I knew the first half could be difficult for us because we come out of Sunday's game with a low confidence level, they come back with a very positive mind," Wenger told a news conference. "That's why they took advantage of every defensive weakness we showed in the first half.
"At the end of the day, I must say we lost against a top-quality team who are at the moment the best team in the country.
"A combination of their quality and the fact that they are high on confidence and we are low in confidence played a big part in the game tonight.
"We focus on performances and when the pressure is on like this you have to show that strong organisation and unite, not divide," Wenger told Sky Sports. "You have to stay together, focus and work even harder to get the confidence back."
The Frenchman then moved to rue the missed opportunity to get back into the match-up, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failing to beat Ederson from the penalty spot, and insists the result was destined from then onwards.
"We needed the penalty to get going and gain a bit of momentum," Wenger said. "That was the killer, basically, of the game, after that."
The 68 year-old added that the fans were right to feel disgruntled following the painful result, and insists that there should be disappointment.
"Do you want the fans to be happy when you're 3-0 down? I'm surprised that you're surprised," Wenger said about the crowd reaction.
About the low attendance, he added: "It was a combination certainly of the weather conditions and the fact that we had a big disappointment on Sunday. It was a combination of the two things together."
Is Wenger wrong to defend his players? Did the Frenchman fail to fire up his boys to seek revenge?

Yesterday, Tyler and I decided that we needed to buy the American Idol game with some of our wedding money so that we could show off our skills.
When we got to trusty Target, we realized that American Idol only came with one microphone, whereas Sing Star came with two. We couldn't pass up that great deal!
We decided to buy Sing Star 90s (I am ALMOST a totally 90s girl, you know…Minus that one year of my life).
It is SO FUN!
I'm sure we have bothered our neighbors to no end… But, we don't care!
We rocked out to tons of great songs, and I am proud to tell you that I reached "super star" status on "More Than Words"…Thank you, thank you.
My throat hurts now, but it was totally worth it. I am so much better than Tyler at Sing Star…Now the world knows it.
Okay, okay…I'll admit something. Tyler beat me at the "90s girl mix"…I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not!

Farm Bill; Ag Economy; and, Political Notes
Farm Bill
Neil Shah reported in today's Wall Street Journal that, "After soaring in the years since the recession, use of food stamps, one of the federal government's biggest social-welfare programs, is beginning to decline.
"There were 46.2 million Americans on food stamps in May, the latest data available, down 1.6 million from a record 47.8 million in December 2012. Some 14.8% of the U.S. population is on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, down from 15.3% last August, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show.
"Food-stamp use remains high, historically speaking. The share of Americans on the benefit—which lets them buy basics like cereal and meat and treats like cookies, but not tobacco, alcohol or pet food—is above the 8% to 11% that prevailed before the financial crisis."

I've got a special treat today from the lovely folks at Titan and Freda Warrington.

Also, we've got a copy of The Dark Arts of Blood to give away to one lucky US winner, so be sure to fill out the widget at the bottom of the post. Read on, and enjoy!
The Dead Do Not Tempt Us
by Freda Warrington
"You are arrogant, insufferable, self-centred, vain, ignorant and conceited," said Ilona. "Only you could make a long journey seem literally endless. All you think about is your own pleasure."
Pierre gave a huff of outrage. His breath plumed on the wintry air. "That's rich, coming from you. My pleasure? You are one who must have everything her own way. You also are arrogant, selfish, vain and… all the rest. If I'm in the gutter, you're there with me."
"I carry my vices with style," she said with a smirk. "That's the difference."
"You make a show of despising me, yet you know we're just the same. That must burn."
"Mm. At least I'm not an idiot."
"How am I an idiot, to long for a little glamour, grand balls and easy pickings in St. Petersburg?"
"Because that glamour is all gone, dear." Ilona slipped her hand through his elbow. "Don't you read the papers? It's Leningrad now. Since the Bolsheviks took over, everything is grey and the aristocrats must flee for their lives, or join the party and pretend they were never aristocrats at all. No more grand balls."
Pierre swallowed and looked away into the vast dark forest that crawled past on either side as they walked. He remembered the French Revolution's aftermath. The fact that he'd been part of the peasant class did not make the memory any more palatable.
"That's not the point," he said. "How does it make me an idiot to dream of romance? The jingle of troika bells. Our sleigh flying through the landscape of a winter folk-tale, with snow swirling around us, forests and mountains on every side. You, wrapped in white furs… the two of us, holding hands, flying through the Russian night…"
"What on earth are you babbling about?"
Pierre sighed. "I wanted to give you the fairy tale. Yes, we've done nothing but bicker since we left Prague, and we're agreed that this enterprise has been a disaster so far, but I still wanted to give you the fairy tale."
Ilona went quiet for a few seconds. The only sounds in the wilderness were the crunch of their boots and the whisper of snow falling onto their overcoats. The sun had not quite set, but the forest path already lay deep in blue dusk. Around them the immense landscape rolled on and on into the half-light: wilderness on a scale that made France or Switzerland seem picture-book tiny in comparison. You could imagine, feel the land sweeping onwards through forest, up towards the Arctic Circle, across the vastness of Siberia and east towards the rim of the Pacific Ocean.
"Well, that is almost… quite… sweet," she said. "Especially for you, Pierre. But I want to see the real Russia."
"In all its fresh brutality? That's the sort of thing Karl would do. Haunting battlefields like the Grim Reaper. You take after your father more than I realised."
She shrugged. "Perhaps. Once, I would have knocked you down for saying that… but now, I think Karl is not so terrible a father after all. I must be going soft in the head."
What a strange couple we make, Pierre thought. Not even a couple in any conventional sense; just a pair of vampires, thrown together by circumstance. Pierre, a gleeful predator without conscience, had been Karl's friend, enemy and a thorn in his side for over a century. Ilona – turned by Karl when she reached adulthood because he couldn't bear to lose her to mortality – was even more ruthless than Pierre. Sometimes they were casual lovers, for the hell of it. Much of the time they couldn't stand each other, and did nothing but argue and goad each other…
Something had happened, a whirlwind named Violette who'd torn them to pieces, leaving them both in their different ways exposed and humiliated and stripped back to their naked essence before she'd shown them how to heal. They'd found themselves doing things they'd never thought possible: horrors such as admitting to terror, weakness, or love. Such soul-deep injury left scars.
That was why they'd decided to go away for a year or so. Away from Violette and all the others. Just the two of them, Pierre and Ilona, who cordially loathed each other but were bonded together like reflections in a distorting mirror.
Pierre knew he'd never get the better of her. She knew it too. She looked like Karl, feminised: beautiful pale face with the bone structure of an angel, softly glowing irresistible eyes, and a core of steel. Unlike Karl, Ilona was cruel and pleasure-addicted. Pierre had that in common with her, but unlike her he was weak-willed, and didn't really care who knew it. He rather gloried in his failings.
"Is this it, then?" he said. "Just walking until we fall off the edge of the world? We could at least have stolen that broken-down cart and donkey we passed four hours ago."
"I like the nothingness," she said dreamily. "And there'll be something, dear. Victims. The blood fountain of youth to slake our thirst."
Just her mention of the word, blood, was enough to make his fangs tingle in their sockets. He felt his mouth bend into fierce smile, his eyebrows forming a demonic V. He could even smell blood on the air, a rich savoury smell threading through the numbing cold of the air. Wishful thinking.
"Wait," said Ilona. "Look!"
Not wishful thinking.
A small heap of darkness lay on the track ahead. Vampire eyesight saw deep into the invisible spectrum, perceiving colour where humans saw only black and white. Against the snow-glow, he saw a trail of blood spattered like a red comma around the fallen man's head.
His hunger leapt, like a chameleon's tongue. He gripped Ilona's arm.
"Oh. God. What luck. Hadn't realised how hungry I am…"
He started forward, but she pulled him back. "Don't pounce on him like an animal! He's alive. Can't you feel his warmth, hear his breathing?"
Even at some distance, the life signs were distinct.
"Of course I can," Pierre snapped. "Obviously he's alive. The dead don't tempt us, do they?"
"Well, don't leap in and kill him. I want to know who he is."
They walked cautiously closer as they spoke.
"Because people don't lie around in the snow unless they've been attacked." Her eyes glinted beneath the brim of her thick leather hat. "There's something about him. I'm curious."
The man groaned as they approached, as if he sensed them but couldn't move.
"Looks like just another peasant in those drab clothes." Pierre sniffed. "Still, all the Russians dress like that nowadays. So dull."
"Doesn't matter," Ilona said softly. "They're still people underneath, with their own stories. The real Russia."
Pierre watched as she bent over the man, swallowing his own blood-thirst as if suppressing a surge of inconvenient lust. The fallen man lay curled on his side, dressed in trousers of rough greyish cloth, boots, a shabby overcoat. His breath was laboured, wheezing. One gloved hand lay outstretched and loose on the snow, as if describing the arc of blood-drops that lay scattered around him.
He looked young. The face was unlined, pale and smooth as the snow. His hat was askew, revealing a bristle of red-blond hair. So young, so troubled and in pain. Dying. Ilona investigated all this with rapt care.
Pierre didn't know what had got into her.
"Well? Is his blood good? Can we take him, or are you going to play doctor all night?"
"Shut up," she hissed. "Look at this."
She showed Pierre the inside of his left wrist between coat sleeve and glove. The skin was a mess of cuts, still welling. That was the source of the blood on the snow. Drops had flown out as he'd collapsed.
"He's done this to himself, you idiot. Tried to kill himself." She bent her head, lapped the crimson fluid from the wrist and stifled a small moan of pleasure. Licked the skin clean, then stopped herself going any further.
The man groaned. The whites of his eyes showed, flickering.
"Hello?" Ilona said gently in Russian. "Can you hear me? I'm Ilona. What has happened to you?"
"No. Go away. Nothing."
"He's not made a very good job of it," said Pierre, squatting down on the other side of him. "Listen to his heart. Good and strong."
"Perhaps he does not really want to die."
"That's bad luck, then." Pierre ran his tongue over his lips. He needed to feed. Ilona's stalling was an annoyance.
"What's your name?" she asked, holding out a palm to keep Pierre away.
Now she drew his head onto her lap and leaned over him as if cradling a sick child. "And what are you doing out in the snow? Night's falling. It's freezing."
"Don't care. Let me die. Let me…" He began to sob, pressing the fingertips of his right hand to his forehead. He shivered.
"Why do you want to die, Vasily?" Ilona held his chin and tilted his head so he was looking straight into her eyes. She had him then. Pierre saw the instant connection, saw the youth's soul melt and flow towards her.
"Why do you care?"
"Do you see anyone else ready and willing to listen, aside from me and my friend? This might be your last chance to be heard. You may as well tell us."
"Angel," he whispered, reaching up to touch her cheek.
"Not quite," said Ilona.
His hand fell. "You look like her. Like my Katya."
"Who was she? Dear, tell us quickly, for we need to take you somewhere warm where you may rest and recover."
"Great God Almighty," Pierre said under his breath, now convinced there would be no chance to feed tonight. Ilona was on a mission. Somehow she could do that: switch off her appetite when it suited her.
"My wife," said Vasily. "That bastard! My father-in-law, Dmitri…" In hesitant, coughed-out words, his tale emerged. A tragedy. A struggling artist, he lived in a nearby farm, so happy with his wife and baby daughter until a sudden cruel fever had killed them both. Since then, it had been just him and his father-in-law, cooped up in mutual grief and hatred. For months the old man had been growing drunker and angrier, while Vasily battled to go on painting. He couldn't make a living. He was depressed, desperate.
"Yesterday we had a big row and the old bastard said he'd reported me to the authorities." Vasily was sitting up now, propped against Ilona, his head drooping.
"For what?"
"Degeneracy. My paintings don't fit the regime's vision of what art should be. What Stalin wants. There's a purge coming… Artists must paint what the state demands, or we pay the price. But I cannot – cannot work against what's in my heart. What true artist can do that? I won't sell my soul."
"Quite right too," said Pierre. He was now rather interested, despite himself. Once, very long ago, he'd dreamed of becoming an artist.
"So old Dmitri says the state police are coming for me. I fled, but I have nowhere to go, not a rouble to my name. I have nothing. No wife or child, no home, not even my art."
He began to weep again.
"That is a terrible story," crooned Ilona. "I quite see why you'd want to end your life. However, I don't think you really want to die. You didn't cut your painting hand, did you?"
"So I don't think there's any need for you to die, Vasily dear. First, let us take you somewhere safe."
"There's nowhere. Only the farm, and I can't go back there."
"Oh, can't you?" Ilona gave Pierre a burning, meaningful look. "We'll see about that."
"I can't – I beg you…"
"Don't worry. Everything will be different now that we're here."
"What the hell are you doing?" Pierre began, but she tutted.
"And we are going to help you. Aren't we, Pierre?"
The scene looked to Ilona like a painting. The farmhouse resembled a low barn with slatted walls and snow-covered roof, surrounded by broken-down fencing. Behind it were a couple of outbuildings incongruously adorned with onion domes, rickety turrets and spires. A brilliant orange sunset flamed on the horizon. The sky began fading to grey and lemon even as they reached the place, but just for a few moments all the windows reflected flame as if the cottage were on fire. The landscape around it, thick with snow, looked blue, cold and shadowy. So bleak.
Vasily lay over Pierre's shoulder like a sack of cabbages. Rousing, he saw where they were and moaned.
"No, I can't go back in there. I'd rather die than see his ugly old face again."
"You don't have to," said Ilona. "Is there a back door?" He shook his head. "More than one room inside?"
"Three rooms."
"Pierre, take him in through the back. Use a window if you must. I'll knock on the front door and… distract the farmer."
"Then what am I meant to do with him?" Pierre's expression was exasperated, verging on furious.
"Make him warm and comfortable. Bandage his wound. Stay quiet. And no feeding."
Ilona waited until he'd tramped around the side of the building with Vasily hanging over his shoulder before she stepped towards the front door, soundless in the snow. Ten seconds of silence followed her knock. Then came the sound of boots stomping on a wooden floor, someone grunting and breathing heavily like a bear woken from hibernation.
The door opened, releasing a slab of light and the thick stench of animals, smoke, stored vegetables and human sweat. The farmer was dressed in thick dark cloth, baggy breeches with boots to the knee, a shirt with no collar and an ancient waistcoat. He was well into his fifties, with straggling grey hair and a red face. He glared.
"Not another of his tarts! He's not here."
The man shoved the door towards her face, but she wedged her foot and shoulder in the gap. The door bounced off her, shuddering as if it had hit a wall. His stare widened.
"I'll wait," she said.
"What?" He lurched back as she pushed her way in. She hooked his gaze with hers: not easy, because he was unsteady and struggling to focus. She reeled him in anyway. Her serene brown velvet eyes caught his red-rimmed pin-point pupils, and her hand rested along his sleeve. He went still, his mouth slack.
"I said I'll wait. May I come in?"
He waved the vessel he was holding, a jug of vodka, she assumed from the sharp medicinal smell. "Sure. What the hell. You're already in, aren't you?"
The room was a kind of kitchen cum parlour with a wooden table, oil lamps burning, a big square stove bellowing heat. Ceiling and walls bristled with wooden pans, implements, strings of vegetables.
Distantly she heard Pierre and Vasily entering a room elsewhere in the cottage, scrambling in through a window judging by the row they made. But her hearing was sensitive, and the old farmer's was not. He appeared to notice nothing, except her.
"My name's Ilona. Yours?"
"As if he didn't tell you." Dmitri waved at the table, indicating her to sit down on a bench. He sat facing her, swigged from the jug and clumsily slammed it down, pushing it towards her. "You want a drink?"
She eyed the jug with distaste. "No, thank you. You seem upset, Dmitri."
He huffed. "They say I am kulak."
"What does that mean?"
Dmitri blinked, as if he found Ilona far more fascinating than her question. "Where are you from? Your accent is strange. You don't look right."
"Vienna, once. A very long time ago."
"Vienna? What the devil are you doing here?" His body swayed, giving off sour smells of sweat, farmyard animals, alcohol. His very aura whirled around him like a tornado, messy and uncontrolled. Even the unkempt wisps of his hair and beard danced like white fire. His eyes, though, were still. Fixed on hers. She could make him believe anything. Do anything.
"I like to travel."
"Into the wastes of hell? Vasily has picked up some crazy strays in his time, but you beat them all."
"As models?"
A gruff laugh. "That's what he calls them."
"I'm not a stray dog," Ilona said icily. "Nor am I a 'tart'. You don't think being an artist's model is a respectable occupation?"
"I don't give a shit what you do," he growled, leaning towards her. He waved at an inner door, as if indicating some evidence of horror she couldn't see. "It's what he does. Calls it art! Obscenity. He'll get us arrested. Damn him, damn the very day he met my daughter!"
From her calm centre – the vampire studying the mortal – Ilona watched this man spilling his raging energy and she knew that he was near the end. She put her hand on his and said, "You're obviously in distress, Dmitri. Please tell me."
Because he was in her thrall – although he didn't realise it – and because he was drunk, the words came easily from him.
"We were content, my daughter and me, until she met this rogue. She's at market, he's slumming it from Leningrad, looking for pretty girls to paint. The next I know, they're married, and he's moved in! Brought all his paints and canvasses, because what he doesn't tell us is he's penniless, he has nowhere else to go, so he'll make my farmhouse his studio! I can refuse my Katya nothing. She loves him. So like a fool I let them stay." He dropped his head and began to sob. Ilona regarded his falling tears without emotion. "Last year she had a beautiful baby girl. But a fever came and took them both. So fast! Just like I lost my wife ten years ago… Both times, before it happened, a crow pecked the window. I knew that was a bad omen. Why could not he die, instead of them?"
He wept and drank for quite some time, until he was such a mess that Ilona passed him a cloth to wipe his dripping face. Then he shuddered and sighed and drank again.
"So he does nothing to help on the farm?" she said. "You don't want him here? Why not ask him to leave?"
"Oh, he's going, all right. The authorities come for me, they're damn well going to come for him first."
"I don't understand."
"It's already started. This Stalin, he's coming for people like me. Kulak."
"What does that mean?"
"I am a wealthy landowner, apparently!" Dmitri spread his arms wide and gave a hollow laugh. "Kulak is what they call the 'rich' farmers. They say we are the class enemies of the poorer peasants. Bloodsuckers, they call us. Vampires, plunderers of the people, profiteers who fatten on famine. Their words, not mine."
"You don't look very wealthy to me," she said softly.
"I'm not. But possession of a single cow is too rich for them. Anyway, rumour is that the authorities are coming to take our farms. It's already happening. The OGPU, the state police, they're sweeping towards us like a locust plague, to steal our land and throw us out of our homes."
"I'm sorry. That is terrible."
"So, what is the point of living? He's the vampire, that good-for-nothing artist I have supported for two years. Let them take him. By the time they come back for me – I'll be dead."
"Is that what you want?"
"I don't care. It's over. Without my Katya, all is pointless."
"I am so sorry," said Ilona, sounding as if she meant it, secretly thinking that it was time to end the encounter. The sounds from the rear of the house had ceased. All was deathly still. Did that mean Pierre had defied her, and fed on Vasily after all?
"Well, I'm not gone yet. May have a few months yet." Dmitri laughed in a bitter, resigned way. He leaned across the table, breathing fumes into her face. "Hey, you any good at farm work? You looking for a husband?"
She laughed coldly. "I am not going to marry your son-in-law."
"Not him. Me!"
He roared with laughter. The noise made the wooden walls shake. Something in the atmosphere broke, and Ilona heard footsteps pounding towards the parlour.
Vasily burst through an inner door, wide-eyed with fury.
"The old man dares laughs at me?" he yelled. Pierre was just behind him in a dark passageway, shrugging helplessly as Ilona glared at him. "You old bastard! My wife's dead, and you laugh?"
"Hey, you piece of shit. I thought you were gone for good!"
Dmitri rose and stepped over the bench, turning around as he did so. In the same movement he swung the jug at the younger man's head. Stoneware and bone connected with a thud. Vasily went down on one knee. Then his father-in-law kicked him, catching him in the thigh so he toppled over, aiming the next kick at his kidneys. He was a big man. Vasily looked small and defenceless under the attack.
Ilona grabbed the farmer from behind as if he were a child, almost lifted him off his feet. His fists and booted feet flailed comically in the air. Then she snapped his head roughly to one side and bit deep into his neck.
Dmitri sank to the floor and she fell with him. A rushing red ocean washed away reality. Their two heartbeats joined and she spread along the floor with him as he reached out blindly for… help? A vision of heaven?
She was only bringing what he had sought from his vodka. Oblivion.
Ten years later – so it seemed – she opened her eyes to see Vasily on his feet, staring at her. He stepped back, only to collide with Pierre who was right behind him. Pierre glared over his shoulder, his blue eyes on fire with blood-thirst from witnessing her feast.
"What?" said Ilona. She rose, straightening her coat and dishevelled hair. Without haste she licked the blood from her lips. "Isn't this what you wanted, Vasily? I've set you free. The old man's dead. The farm is yours now, if you want it."
He went on blinking at her, bewildered. Breathing too fast. She saw all the questions in his eyes – what are you, what have you done, are you going to kill me too? – but he couldn't voice them. Didn't need to.
"Since you've dined," said Pierre, "May I…?"
His fingers crept spider-like onto Vasily's shoulders. The young man froze.
"Pierre, patience," said Ilona. "I want to spare him."
"Why?" Pierre snarled at her, but he still obeyed. In their battle of wills, she always won. She knew he hated it, yet he kept coming back for more.
"I don't know. Call it one of my whims."
"You don't understand." Vasily found his voice at last. He rubbed his forehead, leaving blue and black smears from his fingers. Paint. He'd been… painting? "I can't live here. The police are coming for me. And the state is going to confiscate the farm in any case. I have nothing left, nothing."
"When are they coming?"
"I don't know. Tomorrow, probably. Before dawn. If you're going to kill me, do it quickly."
"No need for that," Ilona said, meeting Pierre's cold blue gaze.
"Very well," said Pierre. "Because I once dreamed of being an artist, I'll give him a chance." He beckoned. "But Ilona, you really must come and see this."
The air was dense with the smell of fresh oil paint, underlain by a revolting rank stench: homemade pigments at best, more likely dead rats. Canvasses were propped all around the bedroom, most of them on the floor, a few on easels. The surfaces looked wet in the dancing candlelight, full of jarring colours. The room was full of paintings, as if a mad insomniac had been at work here.
Boris and his comrade looked around the room in a stupor of disgust and contempt. They were OGPU agents, state police, as proud and nonchalant as soldiers in their dark jackets with red collars, blue breeches, their peaked red and blue caps. Pistols by their sides. They looked at each other, then at the supposed art once more. God, that smell. Most of the images were obscene: naked women, contorted in sexual poses. Even the landscapes were wrong, impressionistic, painted with manic fury. The work was not even good. It was grotesque.
Definitely an offence against the state.
"Gods, look at this." His comrade pulled an easel aside and pressed his hand over his mouth. The farmer's body they'd found in the parlour was fresh, but the corpse in the bed was decaying. A young woman… Boris flung back the covers. Christ, she had a baby in her arms. Mother and child lay there, slowly mummifying.
That was the source of the stomach-turning smell.
"Well, we have more than a crime of artistic expression here," said Boris. "We have murder, and we have the apparent concealment of two deaths."
His comrade turned for the door, breathing hard while he controlled the urge to retch. Boris, however, was spellbound by the delicious horror of it all. He stared from the two sad corpses to a portrait of a couple. The canvas stood on an easel in the centre of the room, surrounded by a mess of palettes and rags, so new that the paint was still wet. A man with curly brown hair, fierce expression, hypnotic blue eyes spaced a little too wide. Standing close at his side was a woman with an angel's face, dark red hair cut short but soft in the European fashion, plum red lips and dark eyes to swallow you. The brushwork was messy with haste, dancing with dark energy, yet the faces were clear. They both were so beautiful, so sinister. Boris couldn't look away.
"But where's the culprit?" he said.
"Fled, obviously." His comrade moved beside him, also staring into those mesmeric, painted eyes. Carefully not looking back at the bed. "He's deranged, dangerous."
"Can't have been gone long. This looks like he only finished it last night. Look, the brushes are still wet."
"We'll find him."
"Not if I find you first," said a voice from the darkness.
Both agents jumped, turning to stare as the man from the portrait moved out of the shadows. Faster than they could lay hands on their guns, he was on them, all claws and fangs like a ravenous wolf.
The troika flew at breathtaking speed across the snow: three magnificent grey horses drawing their sleigh so fast they seemed to fly along the forest path. The greys' harness was heavily decorated, and a carved wooden arch rose like a bright arc over the central horse, gleaming blue and red and gold like a stained-glass sculpture against the snow-filled sky, or a huge triumphal garland. Ilona was wrapped in thick white furs, Pierre in brown like a bear.
Vasily sat squeezed in between them, his face patched red with cold and white with terror.
In front of them was the hunched back of their driver. His pockets were stuffed with roubles, his mind blank. Amazing what a mixture of money and vampiric glamour could achieve. Even in these austere times, a troika could be had from party officials who'd ousted some aristocrat from his mansion.
Presently they would send Vasily on to a suitable border, where he could slip across and flee to Europe and paint whatever rubbish he wanted, starving romantically in a garret. They had spared his life, she and Pierre, just because they could. Ilona smiled to herself, feeling rather virtuous.
Whether they'd spared his sanity was another matter. Vasily was hardly stable to begin with, and the vampire's kiss brought madness and delusions. Some mortals recovered; others never did. Perhaps he'd stay like this forever: staring, hands trembling as he pushed his paintbrush over the canvas in his garret, obsessively creating portraits of Ilona and Pierre over and over again, as if to exorcise them… Or perhaps he'd remember them with a smile and a dark, secret rush of pleasure.
For now, though, she lost herself in the rush of speed, the racing hoof beats and stinging snow.
"See, I saved the best for you, Pierre," she said. "Two soldiers. Your favourite."
"You did indeed. Five corpses for the authorities to puzzle over! Quite the haul for one night, cherie."
"Monsters," Vasily whispered. "You're both insane."
"Oh, that's fine coming from you," said Pierre. "The husband who kept the bodies of his wife and child in his bed?"
"I didn't want them to… I couldn't…" Vasily trailed off, went back into his silent trance.
"Where shall we go, once we've dropped our friend here?" asked Ilona.
"Wherever you wish, my lady," said Pierre. He was in a very good humour now. "My troika is at your service."
"Well, it's been fun so far," murmured Ilona. "Thank you for the sleigh ride."
She bent her face into the young man's neck and took a small delicious sip of his blood. He gasped, pressing his eyes shut. His lips moved as if he were praying.
Carefree, Ilona and Pierre held hands across Vasily's lap, the fur of their thick gloves and coat-sleeves entwined, brown and white. Around them snowflakes swirled and rushed past in great flurries, and the three magnificent grey horses leapt onwards through the snowstorm, pulling their sleigh at wild speed, harness bells jingling.
"My pleasure," said Pierre. "I promised you the fairy tale."

What Is Aviane Used For?
Aviane is primarily used for preventing pregnancy, which it does by affecting the cervical mucus and endometrium. As a combined contraceptive, the drug contains both an estrogen and a progestin. It offers many other benefits besides effective contraception, including lighter, less painful menstrual bleeding. Other Aviane uses include the treatment of irregular menstrual bleeding, PMDD, and other conditions.
What Is Aviane Used For? -- An OverviewAviane® (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol) is an oral contraceptive, more commonly known as a birth control pill. Like most birth control pills, Aviane offers the following benefits in addition to being easy to use and effective:
- Less menstrual pain
- Lighter and more regular menstrual bleeding
- Decreased risk of ovarian or endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus).
(Aviane is equivalent to Alesse®, Falmina™, Lutera™, and Orsythia™ birth control pills. The information in this article also applies to these medications.)
Today, women can choose from a large variety of different birth control options. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and no particular method is right for all women. Some of the most commonly used birth control methods include:
- Barrier contraceptives -- Condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, and other methods that physically block the sperm from entering the uterus
- Spermicides -- Foams, jellies, gels, suppositories, and inserts
- Periodic abstinence (known as natural family planning or the rhythm method) -- Avoiding intercourse during the fertile phase of your menstrual cycle
- Withdrawal -- Removing the penis from the vagina prior to ejaculation
- Combined hormonal contraceptives (which contain a progestin and an estrogen) -- Most birth control pills, patches, and rings
- Progestin-only contraceptives -- Some birth control pills ("mini-pills"), injections, and implants
- Intrauterine devices (IUDs) -- Implanted devices that are both effective and reversible
- Surgical sterilization -- Tubal ligation (getting your "tubes tied") or vasectomy (for men).
Like most birth control pills, Aviane falls into the category of combined hormonal contraceptives, as it contains both an estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and a progestin (levonorgestrel). Birth control pills are often a great contraceptive choice for many women. However, combined hormonal contraceptives may increase the risk of blood clots and other problems, and not all women should take them (see Precautions and Warnings With Aviane).
As with almost all methods of birth control, combined hormonal contraceptives must be used correctly and consistently. It's important to note that Aviane does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In many situations, it is advisable to use condoms in addition to Aviane to prevent transmission of STDs.

The MLS Cup between Atlanta and Western Conference champion Portland is going down at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
If you're going to the league championship game to see Atlanta United take on the Portland Timbers in person, there's a few things you should know.
Because the new stadium was built less than 100 feet away from its predecessor, tailgating in the area will be mostly familiar to those who pre-partied at the Georgia Dome. The poised-for-development Gulch — that vast tangle of parking lots and rail lines that sits below Philips Arena and stretches to Five Points — still has a thriving tailgate scene, and the lots alongside Northside Drive are still the primary options for traditional tailgating.
But there are some new, less conventional options as well. Here's your guide to where to eat, drink and play corn hole before kickoff.
SUPER BOWL ATLANTA: Find complete Super Bowl LIII coverage from AJC
RELATED | How MARTA's preparing to handle the massive crowds for Super Bowl LIII
Getting there: Directions to Mercedes-Benz Stadium
To avoid frustratedly driving around the stadium looking for parking on gameday, drivers should purchase a spot in advance through Parkmobile.
As for navigation, the stadium's partnership with Waze allowed officials to map the entrances to parking lots, so drivers should never be directed to an un-enterable side. According to the stadium's site: "Waze is the only GPS program with event day traffic plans and street closures incorporated, providing you with accurate directions and real-time traffic alerts. Please do not use Google Maps, Apple Maps, or any other mapping software."
Using Waze, drivers only need to type in the lot name — not the address.
MORE | A few rules every Mercedes-Benz Stadium tailgater should know
The following parking lots allow tailgating:
·134 and 135 Forsyth St.
·17 Baker
·305 Ted Turner
·AJC Lot
·Blue Lot
·City Plaza
·Dome 2
·Lots 6, 18, 36, 37, 43, 44, 57, 77 and 81
·Lots A (The Gulch), B, C, D, F, G, H, K, L, M, P, R and U
·Marshalling Yard and Marshalling Yard 4 - Cars
·Nelson Street
·North Gate 1
·State Farm Drive
·The Home Depot Backyard and The Home Depot Backyard West
·Yellow Lot
Car-less options
For those who take MARTA, walk or get dropped off and don't have a gate to tail on, so to speak, there are some alternative options. We know it's not the same thing, but sometimes you've got to make do. Plus, you can find affordable food and beer inside the gates.

Tailgating activities at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Like before, fans can go to the parcel of land known as Georgia International Plaza used for pre- and post-game activities. Unlike before, the area known as Falcons Landing is officially called AmFam Village.
For a new option, head to the Front Porch. Inside security but still outdoors, it's a 61,000-square-foot plaza for ticketed guests with live entertainment and food and beverages open before, during and after stadium events.
The new 13-acre park doubles as a tailgate-friendly parking area for about 800 cars during large events. It replaced a portion of the Dome that was demolished on Nov. 20, 2017.
Also expected to go on the site: a new parking deck, and from the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, an 800-to-1,000 room hotel.

The Modern Lodge felt like staying in a five star hotel in the woods. The best of luxury and nature intermingled. What a beautiful and relaxing setting amongst the trees. Our family loved it and we all slept amazingly well in the soft, heavenly beds. Great location and private setting. Sarah provided great local recomendations which made our stay memorable. Modern, luxurious and comfortable, this place is highly recommended.
très bel endroit au calme, maison très bien équipée et très belle, très propre.
We LOVED our girls' weekend at Sarah's place. The home is gorgeous, clean, comfortable and tucked away from the road so it feels super private. A full washer & dryer meant were able to do our beach laundry before we left. Communication was timely and helpful. Sarah was even able to accommodate some late addition guests with an extra inflatable queen mattress (7 people in total - we gave her 2 days notice). Would definitely recommend & return.
A cosy, stylish place in a beautiful pastoral setting. The house is stocked with pretty much everything you would need, has a nice sense of design, and is very clean. No issues using the internet. Great for 2 couples or a family. The view from the living room is peaceful, and the deck is relaxing with a nice glow at sunset . The location can't be beat, and we loved the walk along the main the road. The bottle of wine was a very nice touch.
This place is more peaceful and relaxing than the pictures can capture. My friends and I had a perfect winter weekend away. The wireless speakers we a great added touch. Thanks again for a great stay Sarah. I will definitely recommend this place.

the singing postman
On Saturday evening, anne marie and I had the opportunity to see a play - and listen to catchy songs - in the castle gardens, and to be confronted with the Norfolk accent. It was surprinsingly understandable (unless it is just that we are so talented and clever, and that's my favourite version). On this occasion, the British turned out to be very organised, having all brought a picnic bag with plastic glasses, bottles of wine, crisps, salad, bread or fruit (did I really see someone eating chips or am I just being obsessed???). Well, it all took place in a very relaxing, friendly and pleasant atmosphere, which convinced me once again, if need be, how great the British are!.

An Epitaph is a type of poem which is written for a deceased person. This type of poem is usually a statement or a memorial written in regards to a person who has recently died. Many people use this type of poem of a headstone or during a memorial service. Some people print the epitaph on a memorial card to be handed out during a memorial service or funeral.
An epitaph poem varies in length, with a typical length being between 10 and 25 lines long. The epitaph is meant to convey memory, honor, mourning, or another emotion and or statement relating to the deceased person. This poem is usually written by a friend or a family member who was close to the person who has just died and is usually written in favor and in grief for the deceased. Some people have chosen to write their own epitaph poems, though it is not a common practice for one to do so.
A commemorative inscription on a tomb or mortuary monument written to praise the deceased.
Walter de la Mare
Here lies a most beautiful lady,
Light of step and heart was she:
I think she was the most beautiful lady
That ever was in the West Country.
But beauty vanishes; beauty passes;
However rare, rare it be;
And when I crumble who shall remember
This lady of the West Country?

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
This fantasy novel of 1865 was originally entitled Alice's Adventures Under Ground. It was written by the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, using the pseudonym Lewis Carroll (1832-1898). The tale was first told by Carroll on 4 July 1862, to the three young daughters of Henry Liddell, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, on a river boat trip. The children, especially Alice, adored the story and begged Carroll to write it down. It took him until February 1863 to write out the whole text, taking great pains to write in neat 'manuscript print', designed for the young Alice to read. Once the text was complete, Carroll began to add the illustrations which give a charming impression of his own vision of Wonderland and its inhabitants.
The author gradually revised and expanded the tale, publishing it with illustrations by John Tenniel. Carroll's iconoclastic book is underpinned by encounters with talking animals, magic potions, problems with scale and nonsensical ideas.

Structural Safety of Boats
We help manufacturers ensure the structural safety of their boats.
The structural safety of a boat is achieved through the correct design and manufacture of the boat. It is almost impossible for a boat buyer to assess a boat's structural safety.
The best way of ensuring a sufficient level of structural safety is to buy a boat whose structural safety has been properly verified and documented by a Notified Body.
Structural safety includes the following segments
- Dimensioning of structures
- Freeboard, stability and buoyancy
- Layout and equipment
- Installations
- Steering properties

The turning test was used to test the Finnish Lifeboat Institution's rescue boat PV5's self-righting and operational capability after turning over. The test was carried out in Teijo in 2008.

If you have been a regular customer we will do our best to look back over your orders so we can send you something you don't have already.

Law restricting displays is largely ignored
Tonight we think it's fair to say that most people, including political operatives, and to be sure the media, are suffering from acute election fatigue and are more than ready for next Thursday morning to arrive. For one thing, it would mean an end to all these radio, newspaper and television ads that have both amused and frustrated our society for the past two months. And speaking of all that red and blue, a check of the law reveals that–believe it or not–by election day, all that party paraphernalia like signs, banners and flags is supposed to come down. That's right. The Representation of the People Act states:
(1) No person shall furnish or supply loudspeaker, bunting, ensign, banner, standard or set of colours, or any flag, other than the national flag, to any person with intent that it shall be carried, worn or used as political propaganda, on polling day, and no person shall, with any such intent, carry, wear or use any such loudspeaker, bunting, ensign, banner, standard or set of colours, or any flag, other than the national flag on polling day.
(2) No person shall furnish or supply any flag, ribbons, label or like favour to or for any person with intent that it be worn or used by any person within any division on polling day, as a party badge to distinguish the wearer as the supporter of any candidate or of the political or other opinions entertained or supposed to be entertained by such candidate and no person shall use or wear any flag, ribbon label or other favour as such badge, within any division on polling day.
With all that legal jargon means is that the election day scene that we've all become used to: political signs strung across the street on poster plastered lamp posts while party supporters dressed to a "T" in their respective party's colours converge below…is…illegal. So how do the politicians get away with it? A check with a local attorney reveals that while the intent of the Representation of the People Act is clear, the Constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression takes precedence. Although the constitutionality of the law has never been tested, a compromise of sorts has been worked out under which all party propaganda is kept a hundred yards from the polling station. We'll have to classify this practice under the heading: If it isn't broke, don't fix it. And by the way…those political ads on radio and television, by similar convention, will cease at midnight on Tuesday night.

NAB Wants Stations To Provide Marketing Assist For U.S. World Cup Bids
The National Association of Broadcasters is teaming with the USA committee bidding for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup soccer championships.
NAB is encouraging broadcasters to muster their viewers to the cause of grabbing one of the FIFA tourneys, including providing them with TV, radio and Web ads encouraging them to get them to sign a petition supporting the U.S. as host country.
The petition will be delivered to FIFA in advance of the December date on which the host country decision will be announced, according to NAB.
"This is a great chance for local broadcasters to activate our tens of millions of viewers and listeners in bringing the World Cup to America," said executive vice president Dennis Wharton.
Perhaps the slogan for the games could be: "You Can't Spell Vuvuzela Without USA."
"I think you can safely assume there wil be no vuvuzelas in the PSAs," said Wharton of the plastic horns whose incessent droning was an underlying theme at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
