..Our little one..
Chapter One
This part of the chapter is from Lucius Malfoy's point of view.
We look at the young girl in front of us. The story the nurse told about her life is still going around in our minds. We've made our decision, and we can only hope that she can accept us as well.
"You are Olivia, aren't you?" I ask. She startles, and takes a step backwards. She looks totally terrified, like I had threatened her.
Then she seems to calm down. "Yes, I am," she replies. "Who are you?" She still looks very scared.
"These gentlemen are interested in adopting you, Olivia," the nurse says, placing a soothing hand on the girl's shoulder. "They aren't going to hurt you in any way."
I feel Remus's hand trembling in my own. I understand him well. This is horrible simply horrible. No one should be afraid like that especially not anyone at her age. "We aren't going to hurt you, Olivia," I explain. "We'd never hurt you. We only want to know if you'd like to have a home."
"Who are you?" she asks again. Then, a little bit cautiously, "Are you married?"
I force myself to smile a little bit. "Yes, we are married," I tell her. "My name is Lucius Malfoy. This is my husband, Remus Lupin Malfoy."
"We'd like to adopt you," Remus tells her again. "We want to give you a home."
"Give me a home?" she asks. "Why would anyone want to take me to their home? I can't even cast proper spells." She still looks very cautious, but at least she's not as afraid as before. Good sign. At least I hope it's a good sign.
"That doesn't matter," I tell her firmly. "We couldn't care less about whether you can use magic or not. And you are good at Potions, are you?" Of course I know that she is that. The nurse has told that she's been brewing different potions every day since she learned her first one.
"I I guess so." She looks at us, looking very doubtful. "But why would anyone want me? All people want little children. Little girls, who play with dolls and love princess dresses and want a nice pink room. You looked at the younger girls at first I saw it."
I feel a little bit guilty. She's right. We were thinking about taking a younger girl, right. But now, the more I think about it, the more I find it impossible to us. I wouldn't be able to handle a little child. "You see, we " I begin, but I get interrupted.
"We were looking at the younger ones, because we didn't know that there were any older," Remus tells her. "We only wanted a child, and we thought that there weren't any older. I know that it would be possible for me to handle a little girl, but I don't think that Lucius would find it as easy." He gives me a teasing smile. "I looked at him while this morning, and I noticed that we can't take a little girl like we had thought. An older one, though, would be very good just like you."
"My only son left home five years ago," I tell her. "I didn't think I'd miss him, but now I've come to notice that I do. We see him very often, of course, but our home is now very quiet. We want someone to read the books in the libraries again. Someone to once again explore the gardens, to annoy the house-elves, to look at the fish in the aquariums, to walk in the corridors, to live in the rooms."
"Not to mention someone to again worry about boys," Remus says with a smile, "and to wear the family jewellery, and to amaze people in parties. And, of course, someone we could buy new jewellery and clothes and stuff to."
She looks at us, a little bit doubtful. Then a little smirk begins to play in the corners of her lips. "'Worry about boys'?" she echoes softly. "You mean that your son worried about boys?"
"Why, of course," I reply, smiling. "Or, if you aren't sure, you should maybe ask his boyfriend. I'm sure he could answer your question."
She smiles a little bit. Then the smile fades away. "I still can't imagine why anyone would want me," she says. "I'm not good at magic, nor am I beautiful I'm not even cute like the younger girls. I'm not happy and smiling, and I'm scared of nearly everyone. And I'm shy and quiet, and not intelligent."
"I don't think so," I reply. "As we said, we couldn't care less about whether you're good at magic or not. You're good at Potions, and only very intelligent ones are. And you will be beautiful. We want to make you happy and smiling, and we want to make sure that you don't have to be scared or shy or quiet any more."
She stares at me. Then she says, with a very quiet voice, "You can't be serious." Nothing more, only one simple sentence. And that sentence is enough to tell how terrible her past has been.
"But we are." Remus squeezes my hand tightly while talking to her. "Lucius said it just like it is. We want to give you a real home, Olivia. The only thing we don't know is if you want a home." He gives her a little smile before asking, "Do you?"
She's silent for a while. A very long while. We all wait for an answer from her.
Then, at last, she speaks. "I do," is all she says.
She doesn't have to say anything more.
"When can we come to fetch her?" I ask from the nurse.
"Well, it's usually at least few days," she begins. "You know, all the bureaucracy and the like. And when she's older than usually, it's "
"We'll return tomorrow," I interrupt her. "Is that soon enough?"
"But I can't " she tries to say, but I interrupt her once again.
"Tomorrow, you said. Right?"
She opens her mouth, but closes it then. She nods, and says then, "Tomorrow. Right, Mr. Malfoy."
"This is the first thing you should learn," I say to Olivia, smirking a bit. "When we adopt you, you'll become a Malfoy. And a Malfoy always gets what he or she wants. Never accept a negative answer."
She looks confused at first, but then she begins to smile. It's not a big smile, and it fades soon, but it's a smile, and very pretty one. "I'll try to remember that," she whispers.
"Good. We'll come back tomorrow. Pack your stuff and prepare for moving to the Malfoy Manor. What's your favourite colour?"
"Err... What?" she asks, totally confused because of my sudden change of subject.
"What's your favourite colour? We have to prepare a room for you. And I bet that Remus would love to buy some clothes for you. Would you?" I ask then, looking at my husband. He smiles and nods. He's not as obsessive as Draco who could be? but he loves shopping. Especially shopping for clothes.
"Umm... Green," she replies. "Green, and sometimes silver, or blue or black." Then she smiles again, that slow-coming and fast-going, pretty smile. "But I don't think that the colour helps you to pick up clothes of the right size."
"You're right," Remus laughs. "Lucius isn't very aware of those things. Most of his clothes are tailored especially for him, so he doesn't have to care about the size. But if you have some clothes that fit you perfectly, I'd like to have a look at them to see what's your size."
"Are you really serious?" she asks, still doubtful. "Why would anyone want to buy anything for me? Isn't that only waste of money? I already have some clothes not maybe many and not very pretty, but clothes."
"Are you serious yourself?" Remus asks as a reply. "You're going to be our daughter. We want to give you pretty clothes and stuff. We want you to look as beautiful as you only can, and we want you to be happy." He smiles a bit. "Could you now show me those clothes?"
"I guess I could." The two walk away, Olivia showing the way. She still looks very shy and cautious, but at least she's talking with Remus. It's not a big surprise nearly everyone seems to like Remus. I don't wonder that; he's simply the best person in the whole wide world.
"That's a miracle," the nurse says, when they're out from the sight. She sounds impressed.
"What's a miracle?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "That someone wants to adopt her?"
"No that she smiled. And many times. We've counted every time, and it hasn't been very difficult. After she came here, she's smiled two times. One of them was at Christmas, when the little children presented a play they were awfully cute, I admit that. And another time was when our youngest child, a two-month-old little girl, got adopted."
"Two times?" I echo. "It's really about the time then! If she smiles twice as much in a moment with us than in a year here, I think that we can maybe make her happy."
"I hope so," the nurse says. "But I must warn you - it won't be easy." With that she turns around and walks away.
I stare after her. Then I shrug, turn to the direction where I saw my husband and soon-to-be-daughter going, and walk away as well.
"I I don't know what to say." Olivia stands in the doorway of her room and stares around it.
"I take that as a sign that you like this," I say, glancing sideways to Remus and smirking. "Remus really did wonderful work, if you ask me."
"That's that's just incredible." She takes some steps inside the room and looks once again around her.
I follow her gaze around the room. I must admit that Remus and the house-elves did really good work with it. The walls are light, silvery grey pretty different from the original dark grey, it was so dark that it was nearly black. There is a big four-poster bed with forest-green curtains and beddings in the other end of the room. It's the same colour as the large, fluffy carpet covering the cold stone floor. A little bit from it stands the wardrobe, made of leaf-green wood with some engravings; the dressing table is in another corner, opposite to the bed, and it's coloured with a bluish green shade that reminds me of the sea. On the other end of the room I see a big, soft green desk, accompanied with a chair of the same colour. The curtains of large windows are green, and they're tied on the sides with chains of pure silver well, that's clearly the house-elves' doing, as Remus couldn't do that himself. There are silver and green candles in candlesticks all over the room, and I can see one big wall hanging - it's green and silver, and it has the Malfoy crest in it, as well as the cover of the bed.
She places her little suitcase on the floor and walks a little bit forward again. She still looks all around her like she didn't believe this to be true.
"Go and look inside the wardrobe," I urge her. "Remus did some shopping yesterday, and there are also some dresses in Malfoy colours my ex-wife left behind when we had a divorce."
She walks cautiously to the other end of the room. I and Remus follow her, some steps behind her. She opens the doors of the wardrobe. And stares.
"Do you like them?" Remus asks, carefully.
"I I adore them." She hastily fingers the dresses, shirts, trousers and skirts, all in good order. Then she takes one shirt it's pale green, with some black snake-figures in the sleeves. "This is this is beautiful. Absolutely."
"Thanks," Remus says, grinning. He walks forward and stops standing next to Olivia. She takes some steps backwards, looking startled. Remus, however, doesn't seem to notice. "Look at this one," he urges, taking out a long, misty green dress. "This wasn't ever Narcissa's Lucius's ex-wife's. It has been in Malfoy family for centuries. It's a tradition that every daughter of Malfoy family wears this for their sixteenth birthday, and of course also after that. It's yours now."
She takes the dress from Remus's hands and looks at it for very long time. It's beautiful, for anything that I know about women's clothes which is not that much. I've seen a painting of my grandmother in that dress on her sixteenth birthday. It's the only picture where Grandmother looks actually beautiful, and it's all because of the dress.
At last she speaks. "This is wonderful," she whispers. "And and you say that I can wear this on my birthday?" She looks up at both me and Remus. "You can't be serious."
"Not only you can wear it, but you absolutely have to," I tell her, smirking slightly. "And honestly, Olivia, if you once more doubt if we're serious or not, do please remember that we've already adopted you. We wouldn't have done that if we weren't grave serious about this whole thing."
"Sorry about him," Remus says to her, winking and motioning towards me. "He never thinks before he speaks." He carefully takes the dress from her hands and places it back into the wardrobe. "But there's one thing I'd like to show you and it has nothing to do with me. It's completely from Lucius."
She looks curious as she follows Remus to the dressing table. She takes a fast glance over it. I do also. I see all the hair brushes, ribbons, perfume bottles, hair pins and other stuff laid there in a good order. Remus really doesn't left anything undone.
I see also a little box. It's pure silver, and I know it's covered with green velvet from the inside. "Can I put my jewellery inside that?" she asks shyly.
Remus laughs. "Of course you can it's yours," he replies. "But look inside it at first. That's the thing that Lucius did."
She does so. I hear her surprised gasp and grin a little bit. I'm not surprised. I kind of expected that kind of reaction.
She stares at the jewellery in front of her. It's mostly silver and emeralds, but also some golden stuff and other jewels, like sapphires, or obsidian. Necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets anything a young girl could ever want. "But what are all these " She isn't able to finish her sentence.
"The Malfoy jewellery," I tell her. "It's gone down in my family for generations after generations. It's all yours now. I and Remus don't care very much about women's jewellery, as you can maybe imagine, and Draco doesn't, either. So, as our adopted daughter and therefore a Malfoy, you get them all."
"That's that's impossible." She closes the box and turns around. "How can I ever repay you all this?" she asks, simply stunned.
"You don't have to," I say, snapping my tongue inwardly. She's so uncertain and surprised about everything! "As I said, you are our daughter. We want only the best for you. The biggest thing you could do for us is to wear those clothes and jewellery they aren't meant only for parties. My mother wore a full ball dress every single day in her life, and no one ever wondered about it. If you're a Malfoy, you can't overdress even less, if you're in the Malfoy Manor."
She smiles a bit. I once again adore her slow-coming, fast-fading smile. It still fades away almost immediately, but it stays on her lips a bit longer than ever before I've seen it.
I'm going to make her smiling always.
This part of the chapter is from Olivia's POV.
I see the men who are coming nearer to me, and I'm terrified. I'm only fourteen, and I don't want to die yet. And I know that I'm going to die if they get me.
One of them comes nearer. He raises his hand, trying to touch me. I take a step backwards to avoid him. He follows me, as well as all his companions.
The sleeve of his shirt falls down when he reaches out towards me. I see a tattoo on his forearm: a green skull, with a snake going through it. It's disgusting. These men are disgusting. I want to run away, but I can't move.
He grasps my wrist, and I scream. I try to struggle against him, but I'm only a young girl, and he's an adult man. I see the other men gathering around us, laughing, when he starts to pull me nearer...
And I scream.
"Olivia!" I hear someone saying. "Olivia, wake up! Olivia!"
When I hear the voice, I stop screaming, although I still can't stop myself from crying and sobbing. I'm totally horrified. I don't exactly know why so, but the nightmare almost scared me to death. It was it was simply terrifying.
"Calm down, Olivia," the voice continues to soothe me down. "Nothing or nobody is going to hurt you. Everything is all right. Calm down now."
I open my eyes to see the speaker. No one has ever talked to me like that before. Well, maybe my mother, when I was just a kid, but that's a long time ago. At least it feels like a long time. Probably forever, if you ask me.
I see a man about my father's age sitting on the edge of my bed. He has chin-length, shiny hair. I can't tell what colour it is in the light of the moon and candles it looks half white, half golden. His eyes are nice he looks like he's worried about me. I try to figure who he is, and what he's doing here.
I blink. What am I actually doing here myself? This isn't my room, not the one at home or the one they gave me in the orphanage. It looks like I've come to the Heaven there is so much space, and everything is so luxurious. Or maybe I'm still asleep, and having a pleasant dream instead of a nightmare?
That can't be possible. I've only had nightmares forever now.
Then I remember everything. The man in front of me is Remus, and this is my room. My new room. In the Malfoy Manor. And Remus is my new father, well, one of them. He actually does care about me or at least that's what he's been telling me.
"Re-Remus," I sob. "I I had a nightmare." I know this sounds stupid. It has to sound stupid. For most of my life I've been told that nightmares don't matter at all. Or that's what I've figured out no one has ever cared if I've had a nightmare. So they can't be that important, then.
"What kind of nightmare?" he asks, softly. "Do you want to talk about it?" He places a hand on the cover of my bed, leaning towards me. He looks like he really cares. I'm confused. No one ever cares about me. Not even the nurses in the orphanage, they had enough work with the little children. No one has ever had time for me.
"There there were some men," I explain, trying to not sound childish or stupid. I don't want Remus to think that I'm stupid. For some odd reason, I want him to like me no matter how improbable that is, looking at the people in my past. "One of them grasped my wrist and it was scary. I don't know why. It just it just was."
He merely nods. "Don't think about it anymore," he advises kindly. "Forget about it." He stands up and looks down at me. "Fancy some hot chocolate?" he asks, smiling a bit.
"What? Oh, yeah I'd love it." I'm very surprised. I've never been allowed to eat or drink anything in the middle of night. I've done it sometimes, of course, when I've been awake very late, but I've never been allowed to do it. Leave alone that someone would actually suggest it to me, least of all an adult.
I get up from the bed. I'm only wearing a thin nightshirt, and the stone floor is very cold under my feet. Fortunately, I found green, flurry slippers next to my bed and put my feet into them. They are very warm, and I feel a little bit better.
"Take this, too." Remus reaches out a morning gown for me. It's green as well, made of soft velvet that feels lovely against the skin of my hands. The sleeves are long, but it isn't too large for me; that's the way they're meant to be. Or at least I figure so, because the morning gown seems to otherwise fit me very well. The belt is silver, and all the edges are lined with the same colour.
He looks at me when I tie the belt on a loose knot. "Follow me," he says then. "This way."
I walk after him. We go through a long corridor that seems to continue forever. Fortunately, it doesn't. At last we turn to left and come to another corridor. It isn't long, and in the end of it we find a small wooden door. Remus opens it, and we step into the kitchen.
Compared to the dining room I saw earlier today it isn't very large. Compared to any other kitchen I've ever seen it's huge. It looks more like a smaller dining room, especially because there isn't an oven or anything there. All the cooking stuff is seemingly in the room next to this one at least that's where all the house-elves are, looking through the open door at us.
There's already a man in the kitchen. I startle and take a step backwards before I realize it's Lucius. Lucius. Another one of my fathers. No reason to be scared.
He looks at us and smiles. He gestures to the chairs opposite to him. "Good morning," he says as we sit down around the huge table. "Or maybe good night would be a better choice?" Then he notices the worried look on Remus's face and becomes serious. "What's wrong, Remy?" he asks gently, then turns towards me. "Did you have a nightmare?"
I merely nod. "There... there were men in the dream," I explain then. "They looked evil... And one of them... he had some kind of a tattoo in his forearm. A skull and a snake, I think. They were very scary, and they came nearer..." My voice fades off. I don't want to think about it.
He nods and looks very thoughtful. Then he asks, "What did the tattoo look like?" I open my mouth to answer, but he interrupts by raising his hand and continuing, "Was it like this?" Then he rolls up the left sleeve of his black robe.
I gasp and am near to fainting. In the forearm of my new father is a tattoo, exactly similar to the one in my dream. It looks even more threatening now, when it's real, and so near to me. "But... how..." I manage.
"It's the Dark Mark, Olivia," he says, letting the sleeve fall down again. "Every Death Eater has one of these. Death Eaters are Dark wizards, and they're always trying to hurt people." His expression darkens for a moment. Then he continues, "I'm not one anymore. But I used to be. I'm not proud of it; I regret every single moment I've ever spent being a Death Eater. Even when I was spying for the Light Side, I felt sick every time in our their meetings. But unlike other former Death Eaters, I don't try to hide my Mark."
"Don't criticize", Remus snaps. "Severus doesn't hide it anymore. And even when he did, he had a good reason how could a teacher of Hogwarts walk around with a Dark Mark when no one knew that he was a spy like you?"
"True," Lucius says, a little dry smile on his lips. "And I don't say that I'd been running around yelling, 'I have a Dark Mark! I have a Dark Mark!' or something equally stupid. But Severus is still a bit cautious about it, you have to admit that." Then his smile becomes softer, and he glances kindly at me. "But this is not the right time nor place for a conversation like this. Let's get some hot chocolate and forget it all for a while, shall we?"
I nod. "Exactly," I reply. "Let's forget it."
Just forget...
A/N: The next chapter: First Meeting
Harry and Draco receive a letter, and they visit Remus and Lucius. Also, they meet Olivia.

Buyers in Minn., N.J. hit $448M Powerball lottery jackpot
MIAMI (Reuters) - Three tickets matched all six numbers in Wednesday's Powerball lottery drawing and will split a $448 million jackpot, authorities said on Thursday.
The Multi-State Lottery Association said two of the winning tickets were sold in New Jersey, while the third was in Minnesota.
The numbers drawn on Wednesday night were 5, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32.
No one had stepped forward as of early Thursday morning to claim their share of the jackpot.
Powerball officials had said the jackpot stood at about $425 million on Wednesday afternoon but swelled to $448 million by the time of the nationally televised drawing at 11 p.m. EDT (0300 GMT).
The odds of winning the jackpot were about one in 175 million.
The largest jackpot in history stands at $656 million, won in the Mega Millions lottery in March 2012. That prize was split among winners in Maryland, Kansas and Illinois.
The biggest single-winner Powerball jackpot, $590.5 million, was claimed in June by an 84-year-old Florida woman who opted for a lump-sum payment of nearly $371 million rather than the 30-year option.
Powerball tickets are sold in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

We broke up after 3 years a couple weeks ago. He wants time to figure himself out and needs some space from me. This is probably a crap answer, but I'll admit that it made me feel better that it wasn't purely about me.
I do want to be with him and we haven't talked with each other in a week. Do you think he'll try to text me soon? How can I catch him before he moves on? Especially if he needs space.
Can I catch him before he moves on?

I wouldn't. If he's asking for space, I think it's in your best interest to give it to him and let him contact you when he wants to. I know it's hard because as women we want to be with them in the physical sense but that is a bad idea. I think that if he's really serious about the relationship and cares about you, he'll come around but don't you be the one to initiate contact. If he moves on then you need to let him go, allow yourself to heal and do the same. Good luck.00|00|0
Hmmmm, mm that's a tricky one... You could send him a friendly text just saying: just thought I'd say hi and I was wondering how your doing? (Keep it simple and keep it cool and keep confident and act like you are ok without him)00|00|0
Confidence is key!
- Show AllShow Less
I played it cool and waited 3-4 hours to text him back to that text as I was busy and wansnt by my phone and said I was glad to hear that I put a smile on his face and asked how his day is going. As I know his job is keeping him busy as he said he wants to have quite a bit of free time so he can spend it with his kids and with me. Does it sound like he is going to come back to me in July and ask me out again? He said his family (the members I met), his kids and his friend (the ones I met all like me a lot as does he as he told me when we broke up he likes me a lot and added a lot). Sorry to bring up my situation. by the way waiting a week sounds good and just play it cool when you contact him. :)

If you attended SpiceWorld 2008 you should have received an avatar badge. However, I couldn't locate all users so if you were there and need a badge just send me a PM.

Thank you to everyone at SpiceWorks for a great event. I was impressed with the organization of the conference. I shared with some attendees that I had to explain the conference name "SpiceWorld" was a legitimate IT event. But it was easy for them to understand because our conference is named "Lean, Reliable and Lubed". My company is in the manufacturing sector focused on machine reliability, oil analysis, and lubrication.
While the SpiceWorld conference is smaller than ours, the SpiceWorks team ran it superbly. I shared the material that I brought back with our own conference team and they were impressed. They mentioned that for the items received at conference, food, drinks, cost to attend that it would not be a surprise if SpiceWorks actually went in the hole to have the conference. Yet this can be counter balanced with vendor sponsorship.
I was able to rub shoulders with engaged IT Directors and Managers just like myself, who are challenged in the same way on a day by day basis. It also gave me the opportunity to speak face to face with vendors, and SMB media companies like bMighty.com.
Also thanks for the avatar badge, I know I am a geek when I got excited when I saw it.

Thank you SpiceWorks team and all of the vendors who sponsored SpiceWorld 2008. I have attended a lot of conferences, but I have never felt to welcome, so "at home", at any of them. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, was friendly, the event was well planned, the food was top notch (especially the breakfast tacos and the pizza, they were primo!!!), and the after event happy hour Friday was cool (my first taste of Shiner Bohemian Black Lager, WOW!). The co-founders of SpiceWorks are every day folks who love what they do and listen to the end users. What a great bunch of guys! I can't let the women go without a compliment either...not only does Austin have the prettiest women in Texas, they were all so nice, they were always smiling and helpful, and that made the event even more special for the guys!
I am counting the days until next year's conference! Cheers to all who went, and tears to those who missed out!

Let's not put the Sun Belt Conference on the same level as the other Group Five conference. The two Georgia schools have each had a moment in the spotlight, and App St isn't even as good as they were as an FCS team (obviously they're building successfully). The MWC, American and MAC each have at least one or several teams that can compete come bowl season. Only the C-USA which is still gutted from the Big East fiasco is as bad as the Sun Belt.
Like every moneymaking entity in America, the Pac-12 is training its gaze overseas in search of growth.
There's our problem. Universities and conferences are just trying to make money now.
I think Bama might be the only team in the SEC that can stop LSU, even though I think LSU is the better team overall. I don't see Fournette running over Bama's D-line and LSU is pretty one dimensional. They're just really, really strong in that one dimension.

I think they were pretty fair. They definitely could've done a whole Armageddon piece but I think they realize, like most level-headed fans, that there are issues that can, and most likely will, get fixed.

Awesome. Thanks for the replies.
Eh, like the 2014 Hokies ended ours?
Add the fact that there are more former OSU players commenting in one way or another than any other school, maybe any other conference. If there is an anti-OSU bias on ESPN, it is kept in check by guys like Galloway, Smith, Herbie and even Carter (I'm missing a few).
1 OSU WR > 2 Bama LBs
Its science.
That's unfortunate. The "loudness" comes from the thick red border IMHO. Keep the flags.
This was mentioned a month or so ago on 11W. The ban was to keep him from working out at OSU, not to keep him off campus entirely. OSU specified after he made the move to CLE that he would be allowed to participate in the scrimmage at The Shoe as that was not the intent of the punishment.
I'm with you. I love watching the whole offense when JT is under center. But Cardale's highlights are like crack, I just can't get enough of him destroying D-linemen, safeties, and misguided, would-be intercepting Illini.
If that didn't happen in January, they're blind.

During her stump speeches in the Gaspé region as part of her provincial election campaign, Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois questioned Queen Elizabeth II's place in Quebec's political structure. Ms. Marois presented the monarchy as an institution that separates the province from English Canada.
In her speeches, she was particularly critical of the office of the Lieutenant-Governor, stating, "It seems to me that it takes away from the institutions that we have. There's the Lieutenant-Governor [Pierre Duchesne, the Queen's representative], which is a waste of money. His job is to sign into law legislation that he has had nothing to do with and to accept the request of the Premier to have an election. I think it's a relic and we have to challenge it."
For a politician whose campaign includes a promise to reinforce the teaching and research of Quebec history in schools, her remarks display a lack of knowledge of both the Crown's role in shaping modern Québécois political structure and the role of the Lieutenant-Governor. The place of the monarchy in 21st-century Quebec cannot be effectively debated or critiqued without a comprehensive understanding of its history and political role within the province.
Monarchical government does not separate Quebec from the rest of Canada but is instead a political structure that shaped both English- and French-Canadian history. When explorer Jacques Cartier landed in the Gaspé in 1534, he declared the region surrounding the St. Lawrence River to be under the sovereign authority of King Francis I of France. The first royal viceroy in Canada, Aymar de Chaste, was appointed by King Henry IV of France in 1602 and included Samuel de Champlain in his expedition to North America.
As Nathan Tidridge states in his book Canada's Constitutional Monarchy, "Today's governors-general trace the roots of their role as the personal representative of the sovereign in Canada all the way back to Champlain, making it the oldest Canadian public office in existence."
The origins of Quebec's distinct society and autonomy within Canada date from unique agreements between French Canada and the British King George III. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 created Quebec, a region where the monarch's French-Canadian subjects could speak their language and practise their Roman Catholic faith. The Quebec Act of 1774 allowed the province's Roman Catholics to hold political office, reinstituted French civil law and restored the seigniorial system that governed land use in New France. The current political structure of the province where Ms. Marois aspires to become premier has its origins in the guarantee of French-Canadian culture by the British Crown.
The contemporary role of a lieutenant-governor is far more complex than Ms. Marois implies in her recent campaign speeches. As D. Michael Jackson and Lynda M. Haverstock state in their chapter, "The Crown and the Provinces," in the book The Evolving Canadian Crown, "the lieutenant-governor is at the constitutional apex of the province, holding royal prerogative powers in the name of the Queen, and is, so to speak, the legal incarnation of provincial autonomy in Canada." In his role as Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, Mr. Duchesne holds the vice-regal reserve powers of dissolution, prorogation and dismissal and serves as the patron of local charities.
Ms. Marois's comments about the Lieutenant-Governor signing into law "legislation that he has nothing to do with" is especially inaccurate in the case of Mr. Duchesne, as he is the author of two works on Quebec parliamentary procedure.
The future of the monarchy in 21st-century Quebec and the rest of Canada is a valid subject for popular debate. Discussion of this issue, however, should be informed by a thorough understanding of the Crown's role in the history and political structure of both English and French Canada.

Tweezerman Slant Tweezer Reviews
Tweezerman Tweezeri love this brand tweezer it pull hair easily no pain easy to use. — 3 years, 8 months agoperlita | 24 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
AwesomeThis is my go to eyebrow tweezer. I do not tweeze my eyebrows often but when i get them threaded. About a week or two in, the hair starts to grow in. I use this to get those suckers. My only hiccup and it's my fault is the price is a little bit much, considering i lose these things quicker than i buy them. — 3 years, 9 months agoDazedNdConfused | 40 reviews
Love em!These tweezers are great! They get every little hair. I know that I've had them for at least a year or more and they havent lost their grip! Most Def would recommend these!!! — 4 years, 5 months agomariana_m_alvarado | 9 reviews
Best out thereYep best out there. As simple as that — 5 years, 11 months agoalessa63 | 27 reviews
I would die without theseOkay, I have two pairs of these tweezers (would have three but one went missing.....) and I LOVE them. Tweezer man offers free sharpening on their tools, so whenever I send one to get sharpened, I still have a back up at home! After using these, I cannot use any other tweezer, they just don't live up to the standard set my Tweezer man. They are so definitely worth the extra money! — 6 years, 5 months agoJamcelhinney | 6 reviews
love themI love them I really dont need to say much more. They are amazing little tweezers — 7 years, 8 months agoMeganM8380 | 10 reviews
the bestthis tweezer helps get rid of even the tiniest hairs. i love my slant tweezer, its the best ive ever used. — 7 years, 9 months agomicaelalala | 7 reviews
Wonderful...My last pair of tweezers were very dull so I decided to buy a new pair, I found these in a pretty Zebra print & thought to myself $20 dollars for a pair of tweezers...that's ridiculous. Well, I can say that it was money well paid. These get every single tiny hair on the first try & are great for those short, stubby hairs that are hard to get & with lifetime free sharpening, you can not go wrong. — 7 years, 9 months agoThis1sAhKilla | 58 reviews
GreatThis is a great tweezer. Very sharp so be careful — 8 years agolaclay | 10 reviews
Worth every pennyTweezerman slants are the very best tweezers that I have ever used. They get the tiniest of hair and never "dull-up" the way other tweezers often do. I have been using the same pair for 5 years and the are still as sharp as when they were new. I always recommend Tweezerman brand to anyone looking for a great tweezer. The cost is a little more, but they pay for themselves by not having to purchase a new pair every year. — 8 years agofoontou | 22 reviews

Kung Fu Saloons Agree to Stop Discriminating
Minorities have just as much right to hang out at douchey bars as anyone, according to a settlement that ends the U.S. Department of Justice's complaint against Kung Fu Saloons in Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
Triggered by a would-be patron's 2013 complaint against the Dallas location, in which an African-American man was turned away from the bar for allegedly improper footwear while a white bro with the same sneaks was ushered right in, the federal complaint and settlement agreement were filed June 30 in a Dallas federal court. Although the complaint is short on specifics — it doesn't actually list any incidents at the Austin and Houston locations — all three locations have agreed to implement non-discriminatory standards and practices.
The consent decree is meant to eliminate what federal prosecutors said was Kung Fu's pattern of practices that deny, or limit the amount of, African-Americans and Asians at its bars. The complaint alleged that, since at least May 2011, the bars' employees have turned black and Asian would-be patrons away, forced them to wait in line longer than white patrons, and "screened event booking requests to limit the number of event bookings by African-American or Asian parties."
This clearly goes against the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who had a dream (and we paraphrase) that, one day, little white brahs could sit down with little black brahs and totally bro out while imbibing drinks with names like "Dirty Sachez."

According to a statement on the DOJ's site, "The terms of the decree require the defendants to comply with federal law by not discriminating against patrons on the basis of race, color or national origin; to post and enforce a non-discriminatory dress code policy; to implement a system for receiving and investigating complaints of discrimination; and to conduct monitoring to ensure that Kung Fu Saloon's employees are acting in a non-discriminatory manner consistent with federal law."
This hopefully resolves things, and we hope that no one else is deprived of their Constitutional rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of total douche-osity.

This has been confirmed by county officials in Half Moon Bay, California, who conducted radiation tests and found a 500% increase in radiation on the beaches there. Alarm has been raised over the past few days thanks to amateur videos like this one showing alarmingly high Geiger counter readings on the beaches. "The videos follow other alarming news last month that starfish were mysteriously disintegrating along the West Coast, a trend that has not been linked yet to any cause," writes the Half Moon Bay Review.

Since the time of the Aztecs, music has been an important part of Mexican culture. Because of its diverse geographical areas, Mexico has several types of music that have distinguishable regional characteristics. Weddings, funerals and birthdays are only a few of the celebrations where different types of music are used to draw out feelings, tell stories and reveal the thoughts of Mexican musical artists and fans.
Ranchera is a form of mariachi that was developed early in the 20th century. Ranchera, a Mexican country music, was prominently featured in several movies, making it popular in Latin America. Themes of ranchera songs vary between love, patriotism and nature, all taken from the everyday lives of farmers. The rhythm of ranchero is either waltz, polka or bolero. The form is standardized and it includes an instrumental introduction, verse and refrain in the middle and instrumental conclusion.
Mexican Son
Mexican son was established in the 18th century and it has many similarities with Cuban son. Several different styles of son can be found and the style changes from region to region. Regional variations in the text and the instrumentation started to show the differences between the regions and the influences Cuban, African and Creole Mexicans had to the areas they lives in. By the 1930s, at least 10 son styles were popular, the most popular form of son being mariachi. Mexican son was historically most often played in the countryside. If you have a chance to enjoy a live Mexican son performance, be prepared to participate by stomping your feet in a counter-rhythm. Most Mexican son bands use string instruments and lyrics are often improvised.
A traditional folk music, mariachi is one of the country's most known forms and it is still popular in Mexico, mostly because of its romantic meaning. Mariachi music is a mix of numerous regional music styles, dances--such as waltz and fandango--originating from Europe and rhythms and melodies from Africa. Bolero, ranchera and son music forms are all part of mariachi music. A traditional mariachi band has six to eight violins, two to three trumpets, one vihuela, one guitar and one guitarron. In addition, a good mariachi band knows at least 1,000 songs that represents the opinions and feelings of ordinary Mexican people.
Bolero is a love ballad that can sometimes have a complex melody. It is, however, always a slow song with simple rhythm. Bolero was originally established in Cuba but it became quickly popular and a tradition in Mexico. The son music from the Yucatan Peninsula has many similarities with bolero, provoking a debate that bolero has Mexican influence and roots in Mexican culture.
Corridos were developed during the early 20th century to tell stories about heroes, exploits, battles, crimes and betrayals from the Mexico's revolution in an epic ballad form. The ballads are traditionally performed either by a single guitarist or a variety of small ensembles. Regional variations are common and corridos are still a vital part of the regional music scene in Mexico. Today, the topics of the corridos are more modern, even taboo, and they can vary from drug and human trafficking to illegal immigration.

Meghan Meros
Associate Director
Meghan is grateful that her position allows her to serve in an office setting that incorporates her love for mission and her strong ties to Latin America. Among her various duties, Meghan serves as the day-to-day operations leader, leads/co-leads short-term domestic and international trips, engages in international field evaluation through site visits, helps coordinate the Returned Missioner program, and cultivates the values of FMS within the organization.
Meghan first heard about FMS in 2011 when she met FMS missioner Nora Pfieffer while Meghan was volunteering in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Meghan received her undergraduate degree at Goucher College where she majored in Spanish and English. After graduation, she received her masters in the Spanish: Latin American studies program at American University. Meghan was a Spanish teacher for a few years and has also led trips abroad for high school students to Peru and Ecuador. These experiences allowed her to engage her love for teaching outside the traditional classroom setting where she could empower her students to broaden their minds and their understanding of the world.
Originally from Thousand Oaks, California, Meghan has lived in the DC area since 2006. Before coming to FMS, Meghan worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as a Management and Program Analyst.
Emily Norton
Programs Manager
Emily enjoys overseeing Franciscan Mission Service's expanding programs, and is grateful to be in a role that allows her to combine her program management skills with her passion for faith-based service. Emily has worked at various local, national, and international NGOs, all of which shared her goal of serving marginalized populations and promoting social justice. Prior to working at FMS, Emily managed different service-focused programs at The Salvation Army National Capital Area Command and The George Washington University.
Latin America holds a special spot in Emily's heart, and she has studied and served in Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru, and Ecuador. During her time in Ecuador, Emily volunteered with a Catholic service program similar to FMS. Her time living simply in an intentional community, focused on ministry of presence, and living in solidarity with the poor was transformational for her, and she is eager to help support the FMS missioners during their life-giving time on mission.
Emily is a proud native of Portland, Oregon, and a proud Bucknellian (i.e. she graduated from Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA), who loves learning about different cultures, exploring new places, being active and going on spontaneous adventures.
Kim Puchir
Communications Manager
Kim grew up in North Carolina and graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology from Warren Wilson College in Asheville. Her first job out of college was working in a state psychiatric institution, and this interest in people living with mental illness carried through to later positions as a psychiatric social worker at Fountain House and a job with the National Alliance on Mental Illness. In between, she spent a year of service with Mercy Corps in the greater New York City area, where she developed an interest in people experiencing homelessness or poverty.
Always interested in people's stories, Kim later turned her attention to communications work, but it's at FMS that she has found a way to combine her spiritual journey with writing and editing. Kim is very inspired by the Franciscan charism, as well as inspiring others about FMS programs.
Nonprofit Servant Leadership Associates:
These young adults volunteer in our office 35 hours a week and spend Wednesday afternoons serving with marginalized populations in the Washington, D.C. area. Interested in serving in our office? See the program page to learn about this unique opportunity.

I am looking for an developer with experience in developing widgets for Wordpress and experience with Xenforo.
My site has a Wordpress front page. We are also using Wordpress for articles. Xenforo is our forum.
Basically, I am looking for custom widgets that extract threads from a linked Xenforo forum and display them on a Wordpress front page.
For each widget I need to be able to have the option to choose the threads/articles either:
-based on most recent reply/comment - need to display thread title (number of replies), time, username of most recent reply
-based most number of replies/comments - need to display thread title (number of replies) , time, username of most recent reply
-totally randomly - changing with each page reload - need to display thread title (number of replies) , time, username of most recent reply
I need to be able to specify this in the admin section.
I also need the same functionality as above for Wordpress articles (where articles are extracted from Article categories and where comments are used instead of replies)
I need this to be mobile friendly.
I also need tabs on the front page (to be mobile friendly as well). I have purchased the Divi theme which allows for mobile friendly tabs - so if you wish to use that then that is fine.
If you have experience with this and can show me examples of work done to that effect then please message me. This is a paid job

A millionaire financier, accused of stealing a Colorado Supreme Court justice's Cadillac and disappearing in 1973, pleaded not guilty today to a 23-year-old charge: car theft.
The man, George I. Norman Jr., 66, offered his plea at a hearing before Magistrate Richard Borchers. A trial was set for Feb. 3 in Federal District Court. Action on a possible fugitive charge is still pending, and Mr. Norman still faces a two-year prison term for a previous embezzlement conviction.
If convicted, he will face the penalties called for under the law as it was in 1973, when he is said to have stolen the car and vanished from Denver while waiting to go to prison on the embezzlement conviction.
Mr. Norman's arrest on Nov. 27 in Knoxville, Tenn., ended a bizarre search that began in downtown Denver on March 12, 1973, and involved Justice Edward Day of the Colorado Supreme Court and Orrin G. Hatch, the Republican Senator from Utah who was then Mr. Norman's lawyer.
Mr. Norman is said to have amassed about $50 million through stock deals and legitimate companies in Houston and elsewhere. He was facing a two-year prison sentence in Denver for embezzling more than $500,000 from a bank.Continue reading the main story

Why do all my field labels for each questions get clumped up to the left instead of spread out throughout full width?Asked by dlxdlx on January 04, 2015 at 04:51 AM
I did choose the TOP alignment for the text. In my preview, they are spread out over the text area.
The issue with the labels was that they were set to a certain width which broke them up as shown on the screenshot.
Going to the jotform I see that you have already resolved the issue yourself, but do let us know in case you have any further questions.

Each week, many of our residents meet for Creative Writing Group with Lisa McKenzie. The class offers a creative outlet and the opportunity to flex their writing muscles.
This month, we'd like to highlight a short story by Win Swormstedt:
Two Visitors
I opened the door early in the morning to retrieve the newspapers, as always, and there stood a tiny barefoot girl in green sleepers.
I literally gasped.
A child on the 15th floor of our retirement home—in her sleepers and bare feet!
Who was she?
Was she a mirage?
"Good morning," I said.
"It's my birthday!" she exclaimed.
"Well, happy birthday. How old are you?"
"Three!" She held up three fingers.
The door across the floor opened and an unrecognized woman appeared.
"Good morning," she said. "This is my grand-niece. She called at 7 o'clock this morning, 'It's my birthday! Are you going to take me to McDonald's?' "
The little girl peered into my apartment.
"Would you like to come in for a few minutes?" I asked. 'Oh, dear,' I thought, 'what do I have for a little girl's birthday? Most of the toys have been sent to the great-grandchildren in New Jersey and Maine.' Then I thought of the birds. A few were left on the little bedroom windowsill—authentic Cornell-sponsored plush birds—a present to my ornithologist husband Dave.
"Would she like a bird?"
"Oh, yes. I have a cabinet full of china and glass birds."
The little girl slowly looked over the Audubon collection of Wild Republic Plush Singing Birds—perfect replicas of the Red Cardinal, the ugly Roadrunner and the bright Western Tanager. She chose my favorite—the Painted Bunting.
My mind went back 20 years to the South Carolina home I'd shared with Dave; and another early morning door opening to an amazing sight: a Technicolor bird—red, yellow, green and blue—sitting on the limb of the hickory tree!
"Dave, Dave, come out here. I think someone's pet has escaped."
Dave's eyes widened. "It's a Painted Bunting—first I've seen on Hilton Head!"
We watched until the Bunting flew off in a burst of color, and Dave went off to consult his Birds of South Carolina.
Two sights I shall never forget: a tiny barefoot girl in her green sleeper on the 15th-floor hallway of our Kenwood, a rainbow colored bird in the hickory tree in our parking area.
Two visitors.
I'm glad they've met.

Hi there! I'm Megan.
Originally from San Francisco, two years ago I moved with my fiance, Kevin, to Florida so he could pursue his Masters degree. My desk job turned into a remote job, and I quickly needed a creative outlet and a reason to get dressed again. Feathers & Freckles was born, we got married, and now we're back in California where I spend a lot of time eating Indian food, thrift shopping, and cuddling my cat.

Super Clean is a cleaning product for any household that provides the fastest and easiest way to clean by just spraying and wiping away.
The Claim
The Super Clean infomercial claims that Super Clean is the fastest and easiest degreaser that you can use to clean up greasy mess that usually takes hours to get rid of. All you have to do is spray the formula, let it sit for a minute then wipe away the grease. There's a Super Clean formula for the kitchen that works well with oven, stove tops, coffee pots and wipes out microwave messes. The Super Clean Household Formula, on one hand, is designed to get rid of nasty stains in clothes and carpets. It also cleans the bathroom making it shine in the process. It comes with a super cloth which you can use to wipe away grease, stains and dirt. As an added bonus, two other formulas are included. The Super Clean Foaming Degreaser is for cleaning dirty, greasy engines and doubles as a wheel shiner. While Super Clean Foaming Grill Cleaner can be used to clean barbecue grills. No scrubbing needed, just spray and wipe the foam with the purple super cloth.
Total Cost Breakdown
0 Visitors rate it 0 Stars
What is it?
Super Clean is a powerful cleaner-degreaser that will clean objects inside and outside your house in minutes. It comes in four varieties, including the household variety, for your bathrooms, laundry stains, and carpet stains; kitchen, for dirty coffeepots, stovetops, and microwaves, plus burnt ovens; outdoor, for cars and lawn furniture; and barbecue, for grimy barbecues. With all varieties, you can use the accompanying SuperCloth, which is machine-washable and made out of microfiber, to aid you with your cleaning tasks.
How does it work?
Super Cleans spray-on, foaming formula, contained in each of the four varieties of bottles, eats away grease from virtually any surface. After spraying this formula onto a dirty object, all you need to do is sit and wait for a few minutes, and then use the microfiber SuperCloth, which doesnt leave streaks, to wipe the formula away. After that, your dirty surface will look like new.
How to use it:
- Select the appropriate type of Super Clean for the cleaning task youre going to perform.
- Spray one to several sprays on the dirty objects surface, depending on how much area it covers.
- Let the sprayed formula sit for several minutes. You can move on to spraying other things in the same way during this time, if needed.
- After those few minutes have gone by, use the SuperCloth to wipe the formerly dirty area clean. Scrubbing and rubbing is not required, as wiping should be enough to remove all the dirt.
- Kitchen version cleans virtually any kitchen object, no matter how large or small
- Household version will make your toilets and sink shine, as well as getting rid of hard-to-remove stains on carpets or laundry items
- Outdoor version can be used to shine filthy car wheels and clean dirty car engines, as well as making outdoor lawn furniture look spic and span
- Barbecue version can be used to spray entire barbecue so you can take a hose to it, with no wiping required
- Included microfiber SuperCloth wont leave streaks on the items that you clean; plus, it is machine-washable
- Super Cleans fast-acting formula, which is easy to spray on and wipe off, will speed up cleaning time
Why is it better than standard degreasers?
Super Clean works much more quickly and efficiently than many other degreasers. With many standard products, you need to scrub and rub for up to hours to get a dirty surface clean. With a lot of these standard products, you may end up using a fair amount of each bottle to clean one surface, but with Super Clean, you will only need a few squirts to clean a medium-sized surface such as a stovetop. Furthermore, hosing does not work well with a lot of degreasers, but it works with this one.
Those of you living a busy lifestyle will find that Super Clean makes cleaning your house, both inside and out, much faster and easier. Theres a variety of Super Clean to use for basically any mess, and even a large-sized surface can be totally stripped of grime in only minutes. Plus, with this cleaner-degreaser, you will be able to multitask, increasing your chances of finishing the job more than twice as fast, since you can move on to spraying even more surfaces as Super Clean works its magic on some.

Balsamic-Shallot Green Beans
Recipe by rochsann
I have made these for holiday dinners and they've been very popular. From the October 2001 issue of "Bon Appetit", they're easy to make and can be partially made ahead of time. Double easily.
Top Review by mrichard
I royally screwed this recipe up but it still turned out great. By the time I had a 1/2 TBS of liquid left and I removed it from the heat, it turned into a sticky ball of mess. I added the butter and mixed with the balsamic/onion anyway, then discarded the balsamic/onion clump and mixed in the green beans. They tasted really good. I'm new to cooking so I guess maybe next time, I will remove it from the heat earlier. Thanks!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1 lb green beans, washed and trimmed
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine vinegar and shallots in small saucepan, and bring to boil medium heat until most of the vinegar is absorbed, about five minutes, leaving about 1 tablespoon of liquid remaining in the pan.
- Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Add butter, and blend.
- Boil beans until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes; drain, and refresh under cold water; pat dry.
- Balsamic-shallot butter and beans can be made 1 day ahead; covered separately and chilled.
- Combine beans and butter mixture in large nonstick skillet over medium heat, tossing gently until beans are heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.

We raced to the tower when we heard that we could go, but when we got to the stairs everyone stopped and we slowly and carefully approached the top. There was one group before us and we heard Tarzan say 1,2,3 go and the whole tower shook. When they were done he called us to come and he checked us and we waited until the runner brought the caribiner to us and Tarzan clipped us in. Everyone screamed to me BE BRAVE and Tarzan said 1,2,3 and I jumped.
"You can do it Advik" said Faizan, as I sat on what seemed as it was a cliff, but, it was just a wooden platform.The second Tarzan said "go" I had to be brave. With my legs dangling down towards the ground, I pushed myself off and I felt terrified, but like 2 seconds later, I felt like I was soaring through the air. All the " Whoas, Wows, Yippees, and Wahoos" filled my ears. While we were coming back, I heard " Good Jobs, and You Surviveds" I had Ziplined.
I yelped in my mouth,I was afraid.I clenched onto the hand rails as tight as I ever could,there were a million butterfly's n my stomach,each fluttering around getting bigger and bigger. Finally I took the last steps I timidly walked up the stairs it was time. I kept thinking to myself,"Be brave,be be brave,be brave.",But I couldn't,I hesitated.Thinking to myself then I had realized I had been waiting for this moment for two year's .I couldn't lose it.I leaned forward and zoomed down.I was living my greatest dream.
I went to camp Thurman,and when I was on the zip-line,it was fun,but so very scary. I tried,and that was fun,and the many zip-lines,like the wood,and rope ones were very fun and challenging. I just looked at that,and I thought the zip-line is for safety.and I was not very scared when l jumped off.
"Ahhhhh" I screamed as I jumped I sliced through the air as light as a feather as fast as a comet. I felt happy I was sailing 35 feet in the air on the zip line. My hair flew after me. Past all the teachers and soon I became slower and I screeched to a stop I got of the zip line I had so much fun. I can hardly remember why I did not want to go on it. I guess I saw my classmates on it and I thought be brave.

text: In little under two years, blue-eyed soul duo HONNE have become the band to fall in love with, and to. In fact, it is hard not to fall in love with the sound of soul, R&B and electronic, which made its first breakthrough with "Warm On A Cold Night". Over 20 million Spotify streams, several Hype Machine number 1s and sell-out worldwide tours later, HONNE are writing songs which feel both quintessentially of the moment yet charmingly gentleman-like in their worldview.
