The Keys
"How much money do we have," asked Billy. His sky blue eyes flashed over to me briefly and then back again to the road we were driving along.
"I'd say about $170 or so, give or take a silver dollar," I said smiling, rolling the silver dollar he'd given me for good luck around my fingers. The dollar winked sun spots of light onto the ceiling of the car.
Billy chuckled, leaned over the gearbox of the Honda and buried his face in my breasts. "Oh, we're gonna have a good time tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah."
"Billy," I screeched, "watch the road!" I reached for the steering wheel, straightening it out before we careened off the side and into a canal to become alligator bait.
"Where'd you wanna go, sugar puss?" Billy asked me. He really was in a good mood, I was not often consulted on what or where or even when we would be doing anything.
"Surprise me." I said beaming at him.
"All right," he said grinning, "that's just what I want to hear." Billy turned the wheel and steered the car to the South, out of Miami proper, past Homestead, past the Lake, and toward the Keys.
I leaned my torso out the open window feeling the warm air wash over me, not minding how it ruffled my hair and blew it around my face. The sky bluer than it ought to have any right to be. I then I thought about Elliot and I on Christmas Eve, just a few short weeks ago. It felt like aeons ago. I suddenly flashed on to the memory of Elliot sitting shirtless on the hood of his maroon Datsun 280 Z bent over playing his bass guitar. I had sat inside with my feet up on the dashboard stunned to be in the Keys with Elliot. While just seven days before that moment I had been walking down the grey slush soaked streets of Madison, Wisconsin where I had been gloomily trying to feel some of the delirious Christmas spirit from the people doing their holiday shopping on State Street.
There I had been inundated with black ice and road salt whereas here was the smell of sea salt and the raspy tang of oysters in my nose. A child like laugh bloomed deep in my chest, I spread wide my arms awed at my inability to discern where the air ended and my skin began. My hand dropped into my lap dancing along the wind ruffled dress hem pulled up over my thighs.
"Whatcha doin'?" Billy asked turning and looking at me with lust in his eyes.
"I, uh, nothing, Billy," I said fumbling with my dress, re-arranging myself in the seat to get a better view of Seven Mile Bridge. The longest bridge in the world, chains of pylons and pelicans floating over aqua blue and green velvet seas and white sand shoals.
"Oh, I dunno. That didn't look like nothin' to me," Billy said turning again toward me cat faced with his cheshire grin, "kind of like watching you do that. The whole of his eyes smeared with the blue light reflecting from the sun and water and sky. "Maybe we better get a room, Baby Girl, before you get too carried away over there."
"Sure Billy, whatever you want to do," I said not looking at him but blankly forward to the horizon which seemed to have suddenly lost its color.
"Yeah," he said nodding and licking his lips, "let's get a room, we can just call in sick tomorrow, Mike won't care. Leon and Elliot can handle a day without us. And Mike will really appreciate me better when he sees how little the guys get done without me."
"Are you sure? I kinda thought Mike was counting on us finishing the roof of the house off the avenue." I drew in my breath as Billy's hand settled on to my thigh and his fingers dug into it; the next day there would be a welter of small bruises on my thigh like dark wilted violet petals.
"Fuck 'em, Mike ain't doin'shit without his foreman."
"Ok, ok." I forced a smile to my face. "Let's get a room, play some hooky, yeah, sure, that sounds good," I said with forced enthusiasm. And then I realized that I would definitely enjoy a hot shower, some clean sheets on a real bed, a little cable TV, an ice machine even, ah luxurious ice. We crossed another bridge and turned off the freeway at just after Deer Key stopping briefly at a K-Mart for supplies.
"I'll be right back, you want anything?"
"Pack of Camel Light 100s in a box," I replied not knowing that it was the last time in weeks I would smoke brand name cigarettes.
"Sure thing, Baby Girl." Billy mashed his face against mine, rubbing his thick brush of a mustache on my mouth for a good-bye kiss. Then he sauntered away through the parking lot, his tight butt twitching in his overalls. He didn't have a shirt on underneath his bibs and he pulled up the front and buckled them up before disappearing into the store. After I saw him go in I fiddled with the radio dial. My eyes unexpectedly welled up as a Jethro Tull song floated out of the speakers, a band Elliot had introduced me too. I closed my eyes and remembered the last talk about music I had with Elliot before becoming Billy's old lady.
"Quit messing with the radio," said Elliot leaning into the car window. I was sitting in the parked car at the Lake reading through the worst heat of the day.
"What," I teased, "you know I love that song."
"Well I'll just have to get you the new Whitney Houston for your birthday next year."
"Ick, you will not." I grimaced and stuck my tongue out at him.
"I'm going to put in an album now." Elliot rifled through the tapes and put in Aqua Lung.
"Not bad, I suppose."
"Well, if it bothers you, you can get out of the car."
"You always gotta have the last word, eh, Martines?"
"Ugh," Elliot grunted. Then he closed the door.
He walked away, disappearing behind the car and into the burn of sun. I dropped the visors down in the car trying to angle away the glare of the sun and picked my book back up. I read for a few pages then set the book down again. I leaned my left elbow out the window of the Datsun and lit a cigarette. I slid my feet out of my flip-flops and pulled my knees up onto the steering wheel and stared at the sky meandering by. The straps of my dress fell off my shoulders and I ignored them to drag slowly on my cigarette. I did not hear Elliot sneaking up behind me.
I felt a warm, soft, breath on my arm and turned just as Elliot leaned over and kissed my elbow.
I was startled and turned toward him. Elliot was now crouched down along side the car at face level with me. He looked into my eyes and opened his mouth, nothing came out. His pupils dilated. I heard the squeak of coral underneath his boots as his weight shifted. He leaned into the open window, then suddenly he stood up. He wiped his hands down on the thighs of his jeans and walked silently away as I sat and savored the sensation of his mouth still warm on my skin.
"Quit your daydreaming!" Said Billy slapping my arm as it hung out the passenger's side working a farmer's tan. "Jaysus, Baby Girl, somebody could have come and fucking stolen the car and you wouldn't have even noticed, where'd you go?"
"Nowhere," I said rubbing my elbow. I sighed and then lit a cigarette from the pack Billy tossed in my lap and brought my attention back to the present moment.
We drove down to Key West. Billy showed me the sights, the bars he used to hang out in when he did construction there, the concrete curb he poured for the first Kentucky Fried Chicken in the islands. I nodded my head dumbly through the story wishing we would actually stop and look at Key West rather than drive around it. But we stopped nowhere, Billy deemed the Key too expensive for us to play on. I could have sat for days on one of the open-air verandas lining the streets, just sat and watched people walk on by. Billy circumnavigated the key and we headed back toward Key Largo looking for a cheap place to spend the night.
"This looks good," Billy said pulling into a dilapidated pink stucco lodge on the back edge of Key Largo. We got out of the car and walked into the dim hotel. I spun the wire rack of postcards on the counter while Billy checked us in. I pocketed a postcard on the hotel back in its obvious heyday, circa 1965 or so, when the clerk was distracted counting out the bills Billy laid out for the room. The lobby was covered with cracked flagstones and the wrought iron stair rail that appeared to be tethered very loosely to the steps.
Our room was dingy yellow with the smoke of cigarettes and moldy smelling from the recent rains. Billy peeled off his overalls and draped himself across one of the beds. I went to explore the bathroom. It too was small and pinched, drab with yellow and brown water stains bleeding down the walls. It was no Ritz Carlton, but it had running water. I rinsed off my arms and hands and then peeled open the white paper wrapped mini bar of soap next to the plastic covered drinking cups. I washed my face and scrubbed the grime off. I was about to strip down and take a shower. When Billy called for me.
"Baby Girl, come here!"
I looked longingly at the bath tub then snapped off the light in the bathroom and padded barefoot out into the room. Billy was lying on the bed naked, his body shaking with laughter and the vibrations coming from the bed.
"Hot damn, check it out, they vibrate!"
"What," I said, playing dumb, the entire room seemed to be shaking from the hokey bed.
"Come here," said Billy patting the bed.
"Make me."
"Girl," he growled flipping over onto his stomach and getting up on his hands and knees, "don't make me make you." His cock was suddenly erect and dangerous.
"Make me," I replied stood at the end of the bed eyes downcast and defiant.
Billy growled and leaped off the bed, I whooped and ran giggling around the room. Billy bounded after me, leaping from one bed to the other, howling in the back of his throat.
"Oh shit," I said gasping with laughter. We were stymied on opposites sides of one of the beds. The bed stopped vibrating.
"Quick, Baby Girl, get a quarter out of my jeans pocket." His jeans lay in a crumpled heap on the floor at the foot of the bed.
"Truce!" I called, looking up at him from underneath the fall of hair in my eyes.
"Truce," he said waving the white flag his underwear.
I slowly edged to the foot of the bed, easing down to reach for his jeans, not taking my eyes off him and his wide grin.
"What?" He said, eyes crinkled with laugh wrinkles.
"I don't trust you as far as I can throw you."
"I ain't doin' nothin'." But his grin grew larger and the dimples in his cheeks deepened.
I reached out with my toe and grabbed onto a belt loop, dragging the pants toward me. I heard the tinkle of change splashing out of the pockets; saw the river of silver roll under the bed.
"Oh, shit," I said leaning down to grab the quarters.
Billy pounced.
"No fair!" I squealed and dove under the bed. Billy grabbed my ankles and dragged me out. He flipped me over and crushed his mouth on mine. He covered me with his body and ground his hip into mine. I ground right back, my skirt rising up my legs, the carpet Indian burning my skin. Billy's hands reached up into my hair pulling my head back and pinning it against the foot of the bed.
"Now go plug the bed," he said.
"Nope." I said with a crooked grin of my own.
"Ohh, does somebody want it bad?"
I suppressed a smile and bit his mouth very softly, just barely sinking my teeth into his lower lip. Then I shook my head back and forth. It was as aggressive with Billy as I had ever been.
Billy sucked in his breath and raised his right hand drawing my head up, all my hair caught in his fist.
"Go on now," he mouthed into me directing my body toward the mouth of the coin slot mounted to the vibrating frame.
I back pedaled up the bed; Billy crawled with me, his other hand fumbling under my dress, pulling down my panties, as he pushed me up the bed. The box was screwed into the headboard just left of the brass lamp protruding from the wall.
"Put in all the change, you're gonna get it, bad."
Three hours later I asked for a potty break.
"Make it quick," he said rolling off me.
I went to the bathroom. I squatted, avoiding my reflection in the mirror over the sink. My knees creaked, I could already feel the bruises blooming, and the tops were a bright raw red, even in the low light. My shoulders ached and I tasted blood in my mouth; I tongued the coppery spot of it away from the inside of my cheek.
"Hurry up in there, Baby Girl!"
I wiped myself and winced. I washed my hands again and wet down my face. I did not bother with a towel, letting the water sluice down my shoulders, feeling it sting along the scratch marks on my back.
"Damn, you took long enough. Come here, I want to finish you up." Billy was sitting on the edge of the bed stroking himself.
I crawled up on the bed and buried my face in a pillow. I dug my fingers into the edge of the mattress where the bed sheet had pulled away revealing a sky blue faux satin quilted top with frayed and unraveling plastic threads. Billy caressed my back, my ass, my thighs, stroking them, raining his fingers along the inside perimeter, trailing his hand along the outside palming the small of my back. Taking measurement.
"You ready to take it like a woman?"
I nodded my head into the pillow.
He slapped my ass, "I asked you a question."
"Yes." I raised my face out of the pillow just high enough to clear my mouth so that he could hear my affirmation.
An hour later I sat in the bathtub, tears rolling down my face.
"Why are you crying," asked Billy walking in on me to use the toilet.
I wiped off my face and breathed in my nose, out my mouth before answering.
"You can't use shampoo as lube, Billy, it has alcohol in it, it stings."
"Oh shit, Baby Girl, I didn't know, you were just so damn tight, I didn't want to tear you up. I'm sorry honey; I just thought I was helping. I don't want to hurt you, baby, not you."
"Ok Billy, alright." I sighed softly. "I know."
I leaned my forehead against the cool porcelain lip. Billy sat down on the toilet nest to the tub and massaged the back of my neck. I closed my eyes.
"You're so beautiful," he said stroking my arm, "I got the best looking old lady there is, I ain't gonna hurt that."
"Shush Billy."
A momentarily contrite Billy suggested we go out to a bar that he knew. The bar from the road looked like a Corona ad, but as we got closer, it appeared dilapidated and dusty. It was still hung with Christmas lights that had yet to come down and cob-webbed nautical gear. It opened up onto a wooden deck that redeemed its cheap tourist allure by overlooking the beach and the full moon riding the waves. The bar was more than half empty, the suddenly silent jukebox made the room appear even emptier.
"I'm gonna plug the jukebox," said Billy, after ordering himself a beer and me a wine cooler, "whaddya wanna hear?"
"Dance, Dance, Dance, by the Steve Miller Band."
"What is it with you and the Steve Miller Band?"
"Nothing, " I could not tell him that it reminded me of Elliot, talking about Elliot was always a way for me to get into trouble with Billy. "I just want to hear it that's all. Play whatever you want."
"No, no, I'll play what my old lady wants to hear." Billy scooped up the change on the bar and left me sipping my Bartles and Jaymes. The jukebox suddenly roared to life, Merle Haggard, spilling out into the room.
I sighed and played with the label on my wine cooler, peeling it slowly off the bottle. A few men sidled by eyeballing me. I ignored them and lit another cigarette. The label was a shredded pile on the bar as I nursed the final few drops of my pink lemonade cooler down. I finally went looking for Billy. The bar was lined with local bikers and women whose skin attested to the fact that they never left the Keys, leathery and wrinkled with time. They were sparsely dressed in short cutoffs and fluorescent neon Ron Jon bikini tops. Their hair done up in bleached blonde pony tails and spiky bangs trying to hide the crows feet at least until the last call lights came up.
"Billy," I said pushing myself between a woman too drunk to notice that Billy wasn't paying attention to her and the man to her left he was in a conversation with.
"Baby Girl," he said, snaking his arm around me, burning my eyes with the fumes tumbling out his mouth. He must have had a few shots while I was waiting for him to come back.
"Oh man, you weren't shittin' me," said the large man in black leathers sitting next to him. He looked me up and down twice. "You've got one helluva old lady."
He smacked my ass.
"Hey!" I startled back.
"Baby Girl, meet Bear," Billy introduced us, ignoring the spanking I had just gotten from his new acquaintance.
"Pleasure, I'm sure." I leaned into Billy's opened legs, settling myself against his crotch, protecting my backside.
Bear kissed my hand with a hot mouth juicy with spit. I blushed and tried to not wipe my hand off immediately.
"Check it out," said Billy gesturing toward the bar. Spread between the two men were various assorted metal roach clips twisted into names, palm trees, beer bottles. Billy pointed at the one that had caught his eye, "whaddya think?"
"Definitely that one," I concurred with his choice, a roach clip twisted into the shape of a motorcycle. Billy frequently talked about getting enough money together to get a hog.
"She's got taste, too," said Bear, "but taste comes at a high price, my friend, that one there is twenty."
"Bullshit," said Billy, spraying spittle from his mouth with vehemence.
Bear calmly wipe the spit off his forearms, shining up the tattooed mermaid leaping and dancing on the waves of muscle.
"Ten." Billy countered.
"Hell no."
"Fifteen then."
"Fifteen it is."
Billy slapped down a ten and a five, the last of our money, as I found out later.
"Come back and do business again anytime," said Bear, scooping up the money, "y'all enjoy that now hear."
"Let's go, Baby Girl." Billy shook hands with Bear and led me off.
We drove around Key Largo, blasting the stereo, howling at the moon, running with the wind. Billy pulled over alongside one of the black brackish canals that lined the roads and dug out his sack of weed from the glove box. He rolled up two fat joints and sucked them down just as fast. I climbed out and fished a six-pack of Bud out of the cooler in the trunk and two bottles of Boones Strawberry Fields. Billy had stocked up the cooler before we had left the KMart. We killed it all.
We sat with the windows wide open, the moonlight and mosquitoes streaming in. I randomly slapped at the mosquitoes, but slowly my hands fell to my sides as the sweet wine sunk further and further into my system. I slumped down in my seat and soon fell asleep. Billy woke me up slapping a mosquito on my arm.
"Damn, Baby Girl, you're crawling with bugs, we got to get you outta here."
"'Kay." I nodded slowly, rolling my head back against the head rest.
He wheeled out, kicking up dust, which settled thickly in my mouth with the hot sugary strawberry flavor of the wine. I hiccupped.
"Billy, I don't feel so good." He reached over and pushed my head out the open window without slowing the car. I vomited along the car, moaning, I passed out with my head hanging out the window doing what must have been 65 miles an hour.
Later in bed, Billy rolled me over and tried to have sex with me from behind.
"No." I mumbled thickly. I could not handle another round of sex. I would throw up again.
"Whaddya mean no?"
"I mean no, Billy, I'm sick," I stumbled to the bathroom. I splashed water on my face and sank down onto the cool tile. Every part of my body itched. I had mosquito bites on the bottoms of my feet, behind my knees, in the whorls of my ears, in my scalp, between my fingers, underneath the crease of my thighs, even on my eyelids. I cried while I rubbed my shoulder blades against the sink cabinet trying to relieve the itchiness on my back.
The next day we drove back silent, except for the rasp of my nails scratching at the 128 bites on my body; I had counted. We pulled up to the Lake late afternoon on Monday, just bare moments after Leon and Elliot drove in.
"Where the fuck you been, man?" Leon asked Billy as he climbed out of the passenger's side of Elliot's Datsun.
"Went down to the Keys, had a little party," said Billy reaching for the six-pack of Bud Leon held in his hand.
"Uh, huh, man, this shit's mine, I worked long and fucking hard for this shit, no thanks to you two assholes."
"Whatever, I'll catch you back tomorrow, you know I'm good for it," Billy said again reaching for the beer.
"Ain't no tomorrow, motherfucker," said Leon cracking the pull tab loudly on one of the beers. He drank a long pull of the foamy beer, then wiped his mouth off with the back of his hand. He belched loudly then looked over at Billy while handing him a beer, "Mike done fired your asses."

#151: Sony reveals updated PS4 numbers, PS5 Logo at CES 2020
TODAY: Vacuum up wacky bounties in Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath on Switch — PlatinumGames will start self-publishing thanks to Tencent money — Over 10 million levels created for Super Mario Maker 2
Top Story
Sony presents incredible PS4 sale numbers and reveals PS5 logo at CES
Sony has been the undisputed leader of this console generation ever since the PlayStation 4 was launched back in 2013. At CES, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan revealed that the PlayStation 4 has sold 104 million units, which makes it the second best-selling console behind the PlayStation 2, which sold 158 million units. Sony has sold 5 million PlayStation VR headsets, and no less than 1.15 billion games for the PlayStation 4.
Jim Ryan also introduced the PlayStation 5 logo, which looks exactly like you might expect. The font and logo keeps the style introduced with the PlayStation 3 Slim and used for all models of the PlayStation 4. Considering how well-established the PlayStation name and numbering is and how much ridicule Microsoft recently suffered, Sony's probably smart to play it safe.
PS4 owners on average purchase eleven games throughout the console's lifespan
Sony has been pretty careful about revealing too much about the PlayStation 5, but we know the core features: GPU featuring hardware ray-tracing, 8K output and SSD storage. The actual CPU and GPU specifications are still under wraps, but it is most likely similar to the next Xbox, since AMD is delivering the chipset for both consoles. All will most likely be revealed over the course of the year.

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath blasts onto the Nintendo Switch this month
First released for the Xbox in 2005, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath told the story of a furry bounty hunter and his quest to raise money for life-saving surgery. Almost 15 years later, the genre-bending first/third-person action-adventure is finally hitting the Switch. There's a trailer out right now, and you can pre-order in the Nintendo eShop.
Heatran returns to Pokemon Go
The legendary Lava Dome Pokémon Heatran from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl is returning to Pokémon Go for the first time since December 2018, and this time you will be able to catch a shiny one! Heatran replaces the current legendary Virizion, so better get a move on if you haven't caught one already.
Heatran will appear in 5-star raids from January 7th, and don't forget that the Adventure Sync Hatchaton event is still on until January 16th – it's your best chance to nab an Unova Stone.
Daily Fact
Turning platinum into gold
PlatinumGames is known for their stylish action games, and was co-founded by Hideki Kamiya who rose to fame as the director of Resident Evil 2 before creating Devil May Cry. In the years before PlatinumGames got started, Kamiya was part of the Clover team and directed Viewtiful Joe as well as Okami. He is also famously grumpy on Twitter.
At PlatinumGames he has directed Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta, and was in charge of the sadly cancelled Scalebound. Kamiya is one of the most influential game designers of the last 25 years, but he says Resident Evil 2 is the closest to his heart – and one of his first: He was just 25 years old when he took the reins on the project. Any regrets? Being too ambitious, and not taking the time to slow down and smell the roses.
Join up with our community on Twitter and Facebook to discuss today's fact.
Daily News
Tencent invests in Platinum Games
PlatinumGames has confirmed that the Chinese tech giant Tencent has made a capital investment in the company. According to PlatinumGames President and CEO Kenichi Sato, the money will be used to "strengthen our foundation as a business and expand from game development into exploring self-publishing." In other words, PlatinumGames will not only remain independent – it will probably grow even more independent.
Perhaps surprisingly for a company with such a strong identity, Platinum hardly owns any IP. Bayonetta belongs to Sega, while Nintendo owns Astral Chain, despite being developed from the ground up by PlatinumGames. The Tencent investment should help the company build its own IP portfolio and pave the road towards much greater creative freedom.
Platinum currently has two new IPs in the works owned entirely by the studio
If you worry about the potentially stifling influence of Chinese capital on game developers thanks to incidents like the Blitzchung controversy, it's worth noting that Tencent is an investor in Activision Blizzard. On the other hand, they also own parts of Nintendo, Ubisoft, Epic Games and Riot Games, so unless you feel like those companies have played it safe to avoid angering their Chinese paymasters, there's probably nothing to worry about.
Nintendo increase the level limit to 100 per user in Super Mario Maker 2
Nintendo has finally increased the course limit in Super Mario Maker 2 from 64 to 100 in the latest update. Over ten million courses have been shared so far, which must be some kind of record for the biggest amount of user-generated content ever for a game – especially considering Super Mario Maker 2 was launched just over six months ago, in June 2019.
Super Mario Maker 2 was a critical darling at release, but the most hardcore fans were not tremendously impressed with the content available at launch. Since then, Nintendo has slowly but surely released new features, building blocks and characters with the Zelda update from December being the biggest change so far, including P Blocks and Dash Blocks and a new power-up that transforms Mario into Link.
Can we have a Kirby power-up too?
What lies in the future? It's hard to tell, since Nintendo's pretty tight-lipped about upcoming updates. There could be more styles on the way, since there's clearly room for more in the UI, and only the Super Mario 3D World style has been introduced since launch. Let's hope there's more updates like the Zelda one coming up. Maybe some Metroid, or Kirby?
News Bits
Official PlayStation Twitter account claims Overwatch 2 will launch in 2020
When Blizzard revealed Overwatch 2 at BlizzCon 2019, the developers were careful to avoid talking about any release date – but it looks like PlayStation Brazil's Twitter account has spoiled their surprise. The tweet was hastily deleted, but said that "2020 will be the year Overwatch 2 arrives on PS4" and linked to an article from 2019 that doesn't say anything about the release date.
The tweet was probably an accident, but could also mean that Blizzard is gearing up to make an announcement and is sharing information with their partners. On the other hand, Overwatch 2 would make a great launch title for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, so we could be waiting until next Christmas.
Is Destiny heading to the big screen?
Bungie is independent once again, and is the sole steward of the Destiny franchise. Could they be adapting it for other media?
Bungie creative lead Robbie Stevens and narrative designer Nikko Stevens talked about the potential for a TV or cinema adaptation of Destiny with The Hollywood Reporter: "Anything is possible," says Stevens. "One of the advantages of Bungie fully owning the Destiny IP is that we have the freedom to make those choices whenever we think the time is right. That's all I can say about it."
Considering the success of The Witcher on Netflix and the positive impact it has had on sales of the games, the time just might be right for a videogame-inspired space opera.
Quiz Answer - Did You Get It Right?
Which of these is NOT the name of an Oddworld game in the series?
Answer: Oddworld: Tasty Oddysee!
The Oddworld series is one of the weirdest and most characteristic game franchises of all time. The series has slowly but surely made its way to nearly every console since the original PlayStation, and now the most ambitious game in the series – Stranger's Wrath – is appearing on Switch. If you haven't played it yet, look out for spoilers! There's a big twist in there.

text: jcc5018 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Hey guys, I am working on trying to rebuild my website to make it a little cleaner and I am still having problems with my header/ navigational system. I want something that will be constant among all pages. I created a nice set of horizontal links using fireworks which has the UP/ Over/ Down/ and Down over state and it automatically imports a code that handles the roll over function. unfortunately, I have not been able to figure out how to set it up so that the active link will display depending on the page loaded. My plan is to make the header a separate php file that can be included into each of my pages so that I dont have to copy the code for each. My thought for how to make this work was to have some sort of code on each page that would identify it and the header would read that code and display the down state with the javascript code already included. I dont really know JS so trying to interpret the code from fireworks is difficult for me. And Although I know PHP a little, I'm not sure about how to go about using the includes and identifying the page loaded. I am hoping to use dreamweaver cs3 and making a template so that I can easily just plug the Header/ footer and content into the boxes and be set. here is the javascript code that was automatically inserted // JavaScript Documentfunction MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0 var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array(); var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}}function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01 var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) { d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);} if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n]; for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document); if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;}function MM_nbGroup(event, grpName) { //v6.0 var i,img,nbArr,args=MM_nbGroup.arguments; if (event == "init" && args.length > 2) { if ((img = MM_findObj(args[2])) != null && !img.MM_init) { img.MM_init = true; img.MM_up = args[3]; img.MM_dn = img.src; if ((nbArr = document[grpName]) == null) nbArr = document[grpName] = new Array(); nbArr[nbArr.length] = img; for (i=4; i < args.length-1; i+=2) if ((img = MM_findObj(args[i])) != null) { if (!img.MM_up) img.MM_up = img.src; img.src = img.MM_dn = args[i+1]; nbArr[nbArr.length] = img; } } } else if (event == "over") { document.MM_nbOver = nbArr = new Array(); for (i=1; i < args.length-1; i+=3) if ((img = MM_findObj(args[i])) != null) { if (!img.MM_up) img.MM_up = img.src; img.src = (img.MM_dn && args[i+2]) ? args[i+2] : ((args[i+1])? args[i+1] : img.MM_up); nbArr[nbArr.length] = img; } } else if (event == "out" ) { for (i=0; i < document.MM_nbOver.length; i++) { img = document.MM_nbOver[i]; img.src = (img.MM_dn) ? img.MM_dn : img.MM_up; } } else if (event == "down") { nbArr = document[grpName]; if (nbArr) for (i=0; i < nbArr.length; i++) { img=nbArr[i]; img.src = img.MM_up; img.MM_dn = 0; } document[grpName] = nbArr = new Array(); for (i=2; i < args.length-1; i+=2) if ((img = MM_findObj(args[i])) != null) { if (!img.MM_up) img.MM_up = img.src; img.src = img.MM_dn = (args[i+1])? args[i+1] : img.MM_up; nbArr[nbArr.length] = img; } }} one problem i have with this code is that I dont understand it, but also that when fireworks imported all the slices, it broke them up into a large number of boxes and stuff that I guess are used as spacers. I feel I could do the same thing by just having one picture with my logo, one for the colored bar underneath, and the rest as links, all placed in relative position to one another. To see what I'm talking about, you can check http://www.personal.psu.edu/jcc5018/start.htmI also really would like to set this up so that an appropriate title will be displayed above the links in that empty space, depending on the page loaded. I also plan to include a second row of links that will be placed over the red bars that will have the same effect. That is, the active link of both the red links as well as the active link in the second row will both be highlighted. The second row will change depending on the 1st level links.So if anyone is able to explain how to make this javascript code work for me, or If you know how to do it with PHP, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Veteran LGBT activist Alvin McEwen notes that the Family Research Council's longtime point man for homosexuality and conversion therapy, Peter Sprigg, has no expertise whatsoever in his primary areas of focus, mental health and sexuality.
Despite being an ordained evangelical pastor, Sprigg's focus at FRC is consistent not with pastoral ministry, but with his bachelor's degree in political science and economics. Given his decades of political extremism and hostility toward much of the faithful, it is questionable whether Sprigg is still welcome in pastoral ministry circles.

25 Saskatchewan reserves miss midnight transparency deadline
Pelican Lake First Nation filed just before deadline, officials withhold money from non-compliant bands
Reserves across Canada had until before midnight yesterday to show Ottawa the money.
As of yesterday, 26 of 70 First Nations in Saskatchewan had not yet published financial information, including on-reserve business transactions and salaries for elected chiefs, councillors and band office staff.
But that changed Wednesday morning when the number of First Nations that had yet to report their records dropped to 25.
Pelican Lake First Nation waited until the final hour to publish its financial information and made it just in time for the midnight deadline.
It is one of six reserves in Canada that vanished from the list this morning.
Disclosure became mandatory last year under the First Nations Financial Transparency Act.
"Canadians expect transparency and accountability from their government and we are committed to ensuring that First Nations community members have that same level of transparency and accountability," said Kelly Block, a Saskatchewan Conservative Member of Parliament.
Accountability and transparency'
Block first brought the law before Parliament five years ago as a private member's bill.
"We'd hope that First Nations chiefs and councils would see this as another tool in their toolbox to keep their community members informed about the business that is going on in their communities," she said.
"Ensure that there is accountability and transparency for their members when making decisions around who they would like to see leading their community as well as the kind of business that is transpiring on their community," Block added.
Block could not say how much money Ottawa has withheld from reserves to date.
Money withheld
Several bands, including the Lac La Ronge First Nation and the Buffalo River Dene Nation, were slow to file financial information after mass evacuations due to forest fires earlier this summer. Officials say they'll extend the deadline for them as well as other reserves intending to file.
But Ottawa has already withheld money from the Onion Lake Cree Nation, Ochapowace First Nation and Thunderchild First Nation for refusing to publish financial documents last year.
The matter is now before the courts.
Onion Lake's chief has also written to the United Nations arguing the law violates longstanding treaty rights. Chief Wallace Fox said the Conservative government, "is trying to impose their misguided agenda on our peoples."

What are the Pros and Cons of going officer?
What are the Pros and Cons of going officer?
Money, lol! At least in the long run.
Well becoming an officer for my dh is a huge debate right now in my house. When he was going in he was all for it. Then he changed his mind and enlisted. Now he is thinking its a huge mistake for several reasons. One, He said that he always wanted retire as an officer (the leadership). Two, the money. The best con for him and the reason he didnt do it in the first place was chosing his occupation. He has his degree in health care management and thats what he wants to do. Not knowing what his job is going to be was a bit much for him....
We were talking today and he said soon as we get to our first duty station, he is going to talk to someone so he can get is packet together.
(Disclaimer: The following information is coming from a Army wife who doesn't actually know any specifics 100%. Often told to her by husband or other wise ones. Though, they all will admit that at times they dont know the specifics neither. The information received should be considered unstable and possibly flammable. Do not disseminate. )
I guess it would be the career path that you chose.
My dh was enlisted for 17 years prior to being commissioned. We've been on both sides of the fence. He's benefited from both sides. Everyone always talks about the money.....but for him is wasn't about the money, it was about the leadership abilities/possibilities and which direction he wanted his career to go in. He always wanted to be the Cheng....and he finally achieved his dream. That's what it's all about, for him, achieving the dream.
Perks for me? The parking spot!!! Drawbacks for me? He's always gone, cell phone turned on 24/7, and being the boss'es wife...no one ever wants to be my friend....
Officers move around more/have shorter tours. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

The boy, Fernando, who would, one day, be known to us as St Anthony of Padua, was visiting the family villa with his father, Don Martin. It was harvest time and the plants were ripening under the amber rays of the sun.
As he looked happily across them, Don Martin's face suddenly clouded. He saw that a great flock of sparrows was circling overhead. This meant disaster to the crops, for the birds would assuredly swoop down and destroy the harvest as soon as its owner had left the field.
Turning to the boy at his side, Don Martin said to him:
"Fernando! You are old enough to have some care, now. See those sparrows overhead! They are a threat to our crops, for they have come to feed here. I must leave you for a while. You must stay here, and, whenever you see the sparrows preparing to descend, you must drive them off! Later, I will provide some means of safe-guarding our harvest."
Now, Fernando had been thinking of other business that he wished to carry out. This business was a visit to the nearby chapel. He was always happy when he was in the church.
Don Martin left, leaving Fernando alone in the field.
Looking up, Fernando saw that the sparrows were patiently waiting for their opportunity to come down and feed, and they would probably not be afraid of a little boy.
But Donna Teresa, his mother, had instructed him in many lovely ways of communicating with the heavenly hosts. So, now, Fernando was ready with an improvised prayer.
"Brother Angels, my father has told me to stay here and guard our field against the sparrows. But I want to visit my sweet Jesus in the chapel! Please, Angels, help me to obey my father and go to the chapel too."
Innocently and trustingly, Fernando waited for the answer to his prayer.
It came. He seemed to hear soft voices addressing him. They told him to call the sparrows, lead them to the villa, open the front door, and allow them to fly in, then close the door upon them. Fernando immediately followed out his instructions.
Then, he ran off to the chapel.
When Don Martin returned to the field shortly after, he found Fernando missing, and the sparrows, as well. This seemed strange. Knowing where to find his son, he went to the chapel. There was Fernando, kneeling before the tabernacle. Don Martin waited until the boy came outside. Then he confronted him.
"My son, why did you disobey my orders?
What about our harvest? The birds must have eaten their fill before flying away."
Fernando smiled brightly as he replied:
"Don't bother about it, Father. The birds didn't touch anything. When you open the door of the villa, you will find them inside. I locked them up there."
Don Martin now had a new cause for anxiety. The birds could do grave damage to the house, as well as, to the fields. He hurried to the villa and swung open the door. There were the sparrows, clustered inside, perfectly quiet. Don Martin observed with gratitude that nothing in the place had suffered the least damage.

The next 12 months may not prove as rich for initial public offerings as the last year. But to Wall Street bankers, 2014 still promises an abundance of opportunity.
And that could include what may be one of the biggest market debuts in years: that of Alibaba, the Chinese Internet behemoth.
(Read more: Here's what the 2014 tech IPO pipeline looks like)
Even as global merger activity turned in another lackluster performance, the business of taking companies public soared. The amount raised by IPO's in the United States last year jumped 40 percent over 2012, to $59.3 billion, according to data from Thomson Reuters.
Overall activity in equity capital markets banking totaled nearly $797 billion for the year, up 27 percent and one of the best years in recent memory. Fees for bankers in the field rose 34 percent from the previous year, to $17.9 billion, in what Thomson Reuters described as the highest level in three years.
The FTSE Renaissance Global IPO Index, which tracks the returns of newly public shares, returned 31.7 percent last year through Dec. 17, outstripping the MSCI All Country World Index's 15.4 percent.
Advisers are quick to caution that such a run — one with a number of big stock market debuts, like those of Hilton Worldwide, the animal health company Zoetis and, of course, Twitter — will be hard to duplicate. But as long as the economy holds up, so will the stock markets, prompting private companies to look to share sales to raise money.
"I would be surprised if the overall market is up 25 percent or more next year, but I'm optimistic and think it's still trending upward," John S. Daly, the head of Americas equity capital markets at Goldman Sachs, said.
(Read more: Five memorable tech IPO moments)
Behind the IPO boom are the usual factors, bankers say. Encouraging economic conditions drove impressive stock market growth, particularly in the United States. (Last year was the first time since 2004 that the highest share of IPO proceeds were raised in North America, at 34 percent.)
Investors proved especially eager to buy into new stocks: The flow of money into stock mutual funds outpaced money going into bond funds last year, providing a big source of capital waiting to be spent on new offerings.
"The economy is improving and that there's a lot less risk of a big downward shock," Cully Davis, a managing director of equity capital markets at Credit Suisse, said. "Investors' risk tolerance changed."
At the same time, Mr. Daly said, investors have been disciplined about what they have been willing to pay for IPO's.
The presence of ready buyers has prompted a spate of entities, including corporations looking to spin off divisions and private start-ups looking to seize on years of work and rising hype. Bankers say that the backlog of IPO's is strong, if not nearly bursting.
(Read more: Twitter effect? Expect a barrage of tech IPOs, experts say)
The boom has been fairly evenly spread, though financial and consumer companies were the majority, according to Renaissance Capital. Even sectors that had fallen out of favor, like biotechnology companies, look poised to recover.
For many investors, the most attractive type of investment remains companies that are poised for double-digit revenue growth. A new crop of technology start-ups that many analysts and bankers predict may go public in 2014 fits neatly into that mold, even if none will equal Facebook's $16 billion offering or draw as much attention as Twitter's.
Among them are Dropbox and Box, two of the big online storage companies, and the Lending Club, the biggest player in the peer-to-peer lending industry.
But the most highly anticipated offering is that of Alibaba, whose vast e-commerce operations make the company a Chinese amalgam of Amazon, eBay and a host of others. The Internet giant has not picked bankers for its forthcoming offering, according to people briefed on the matter, but that has not stopped an army of senior-level deal makers from making regular trips to Hong Kong to pay their respects to the company's founder, Jack Ma, and its executive vice chairman, Joseph Tsai.
Fevered speculation about Alibaba's potential market value has only increased, with bankers and analysts now guessing that the company could fetch a valuation of more than $150 billion.
(Read more: High-quality IPOs coming for end of the year)
Other companies expected to go public are not considered high-growth stories, but nevertheless have strong financial performance that could draw investors all the same. Ally Financial, the lender that once was General Motors' financing arm, is among those weighing a potential IPO to help repay its government bailout, according to people briefed on the matter. And General Electric plans to spin off its huge consumer finance arm.
Private equity firms have also been eager to seize on the roaring markets to sell their investments. Last year, the Blackstone Group took a number of its portfolio companies public, including Hilton and SeaWorld.
Repsol Completes Sale of Natural Gas Assets to Shell
Markets Buoyant, Merger Activity Picks Up
Regulators Reviewing Volcker Rule Provision
Such firms often do not sell any shares in the IPO; Blackstone sold none of its shares in Hilton when the company went public last month. According to Philip Drury, a co-head of equity capital markets for the Americas at , leveraged buyout shops have multiyear plans to sell off their holdings. Though investors had worried in the past that the firms would dump their investments, the firms now hold on to big stakes in their companies in hopes that the stocks will continue to rise.
Even as the enthusiasm for 2014 remains strong, advisers warn that any number of unexpected developments — a new war, uncertainty over a government debt impasse, an unforeseen market stumble — could damp the prospects for a prolonged renaissance in stock offerings.
"I think we've all understood that IPO market windows open and close pretty quickly," Mr. Drury said. "History has taught us to be somewhat cautious."

7 Tips for Maintaining Your New Home
We love the look on our clients' faces when they walk into the final reveal of their newly finished custom homes. All the features fit to their likings – brand new and ready to accommodate comfortable living. What makes us even more ecstatic is hearing years after their build, just how good-as-new their home is. We recently met with Charley Wasson, owner of one of our first builds, (full interview with Charley coming soon!) and were delighted to hear that his home is just as breathtaking as it was day one.
More often than not with homes, we see people wait until something is truly broken to fix it. We always harp on remaining proactive and maintaining every aspect of your home with routine maintenance tasks. Too often, people move to replacing items over maintaining. A simple walkthrough can save you the time and effort raised by would-be problems stemming from neglect.
Your home is an investment and your place of relaxation; take the time and steps necessary to keep it at tip-top shape. If you perform these tasks regularly, you'll be able to sleep soundly at night knowing you're protecting the value and status of your forever home.
Outdoor Tips

- Trim trees and shrub life that are 3 inches are closer to the house.
- Inspect door and window caulking yearly. Apply proper weather stripping to protect from the elements.
- Test your garage door monthly, looking for obstructions on blockages of the door or sensor.
Indoor Tips
- Clean out your clothes dryer's exhaust duct frequently to protect against fire hazards.
- Vacuum and clean your refrigerator coils located beneath the appliance.
- Test your smoke detectors quarterly, replacing their batteries yearly. Use this time to also check fire extinguishers on hand and review fire drills with your family.
Following these easy steps will go a long way in protecting your home in the long term, keeping your interior and exterior in a condition that you'll love to show off. If you're looking for more tips, just give us a call! We'd love to share more of our expertise with you.

"For over 20 years PTFE has been used as an implantable material for various conditions including vocal cord defects, arterial grafts, orthopaedic joint implants, and facial plastic surgery. More recently, advances in its manufacture have seen an increase in use of ePTFE in facial augmentation, either for reconstructive or cosmetic purposes. ePTFE is more commonly known by the brand names Gore-Tex® and SoftForm®."[1] PFTE is not as hard as silicon and much less hard than TiN. PFTE molecules are ideally less than 100 microns in diameter during the coating process.
Coating Procedure Conventional coating of a substrate with PTFE involves the atomization of PFTE by infusing liquid PFTE with compressed air, forcing the liquid into tiny droplets which coat the surface of the substrate. [2] Electrostatic spray guns are used for this process.
