Slayers and Vampires and Bob Oh My!0 Reviews
A horrible venture meets a twisted fate.
"We are the uglies Becky" Ray interrupted.
"I don't want to be an ugly" Berry whined.
"We are not the uglies okay? I just meant that We should be careful, after all Athena said there were slayers out there which is why We have to stay away from the convenient garlic
grocery store"
"Man how could Bob NOT tell that was a garlic infested store?" Gerard asked.
We had all figured out that Bob was the one who went shopping since all of Us were still here and Bob wasn't.
"Just because We have forever to think about this doesn't mean We can. Now just stick with Your lover and everything will be just fine" I stated and then walked out the door with Frankie.
"It's time Bob"
I looked up to see Clara the slayer.
"We are going to kill Your clan, and then We will kill You as promised, But first We need to lure Them to Us. Can You lure one group?"
I nodded.
"Then go get Them" She smiled.
"Nothing! Not a single bite in sight" I grumbled as We walked on.
"It feels like They knew We were coming" Mikey replied.
I looked up and noticed an awful amount of crosses on the doors, windows and rooftops of every home.
"Do those things work?" Mikey asked.
"One way to find out" I whispered as I walked carefully up to a door with a silver cross on it.
I gently placed My hand on the cross and waited.
Nothing happened for a moment, but that moment faded quickly because of the seering pain I felt in My hand.
Almost immediatley I pulled My hand away and walked back to Mikey so He could take a look.
It was red and pulsing like My hand had touched fire, but before Mikey could voice any concern the wound disappeared.
"So it works, but not for long" I whispered, still remembering the pain.
"I wonder though" Mikey replied as He turned around and stared at the cross.
I watched as Mikey effortlessly bent the cross into a heart.
"Mikey" I whispered.
He turned around to look at Me, then froze as He looked behind Me.
I turned to find a guy not much older than Us with a machete.
"Oh crap" I mumbled.
"It's too quiet" I whispered.
"Maybe We should make some sounds of Our own" Gerard suggested as He wrapped His arms around My shoulders.
"We make enough noise as it is" I smirked and kept walking.
I paused.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard.." I turned around and saw a slayer taking aim.
"DUCK" I yelled as I shoved Gerard to the ground.
Something whistled past My head and I turned to see a knife in the wall lodged right where My neck would have been if I didn't move.
"You're going to pay for that, and the currency I take is blood" Gerard growled.
"Berry if You keep humming like that all the food will be gone" Ray whispered in My ear.
I pouted.
"But I like to hum before a kill"
"I know You do and I love hearing Your voice, but We haven't seen a single soul for hours so maybe We should be a little more cautious"
"My humming has nothing to do with lack of food. In case You hadn't noticed this is a town being protected by a couple of slayers"
"Why do You say that?" Ray asked as He stopped walking like I did.
"Because there's one right here" I whispered.
"The only thing that will be slayed tonight will be Her" Ray growled.
"Is it just Me or is this a ghost town, without the ghosts" Frankie mumbled.
"No it's not You, everything just seems…dead, present company exlcuded"
"Likewise" Frankie replied.
I walked hand in hand with Frankie down the street noticing little things that scared Me more and more.
Abandoned toys, as if the parents had plucked their kids up out of the blue.
The crosses at every possible entrance to every home.
I stopped suddenly as I saw someone walking towards Us.
"Hey guys" Bob greeted as He stepped into the fluroescent light of a lamp.
"Hey" I said uneasily.
"I know where there is food, You coming or what?"
I shook My head no and stepped in front of Frankie.
"What's wrong Becky?" Frankie asked.
"It's a trap" I growled.
Bob sighed and looked Me straight in the eyes.
"You can either come with Me without getting hurt, or You I can carry the both of You" Bob reasoned.
I turned to Frankie, nodded, and walked straight up to Bob.
"Where are We going Brother?" I asked.
"To the heart of the woods" Bob replied as He turned.
"What's waiting for Us there?" Frankie asked.
"Our deaths" Bob answered.
"How could You do this Bob?"
"I think the better question is why did You have to come back?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Frankie growled as He squeezed My hand.
"If You hadn't come back I would still be Me, and that goes for My friends- every last on of them would only dream about being a vampire, not having to change every night and kill someone just to survive" Bob muttered.
"That's not true! Becky's opened Me up to a whole new world and I love every minute of it, in fact I love Becky!"
'I love You too Frankie" I whispered quietly.
"As for You Bob" I growled and pushed Him hard against a wall, knocking Him out.
"I have nothing to say to You" I added as Frankie and I walked on.
"Why didn't You just kill Him before?" Frankie asked as we walked on.
"Because We had to know where We were going without Him AND because I wanted to know why He was doing this to Us. And by the way, He's not dead, So let's go to the heart of the woods"

After banging out a couple of podium finishes at the New Zealand Winter Games. Jossi Wells stepped up at The North Face Open in Wanaka, NZ and took the top spot on the podium in Slopestyle last week. Big shout out to Jossi, who was nagged by injuries most of last year, for finally being healthy and on form. I'm sure Jossi will take the momentum from the slopestyle win to the pipe and big air. Best of luck Jossi and congratulations on the win.
On the women's side, Devin Logan is on an absolute rampage crushing everything in her path. Devin just chalked up another victory in Halfpipe at the TNF Open, following top-of-the-podium finishes in her last five events with four wins and a second place. I would go ahead and say that's pretty dominating wouldn't you? Congrats again, Devin.
Check out a recap of the Slope qualifiers from Downdays here.

The British singer-songwriter has been touring around the United States for the last few weeks alongside Pakistani pop star Asim American Punjabi newcomer Amar Sandhu. This is a far cry from his original plans.

Trading off driving when everyone is a zombie is frightening. Setting up the sound system, merch table, and video gear is trivial compared to finding and training volunteers to handle any of these areas.
All at once I had an epiphany: these puzzling creatures that are yelling at you are human souls -- as unpredictable, perplexing and unpredictable as I am.
When it comes to being a traveling author, it helps that I did so much theater in college, and that I've taught for many years as well. I generally feel comfortable as a performer of my own work -- and my own life. And yet there's always a trace of sadness on the road, too.
Drivin' N' Cryin's "sleep when you can" attitude may have indirectly led to over three decades of music from a band Rolling Stone magazine compared to The Replacements, if Paul Westerberg had worshipped Angus Young instead of Alex Chilton.
If we told you at first that we weren't a little apprehensive to go on tour with Rihanna, we'd be lying. How would her crowds react to our very different sound and how would our creative process change writing music whilst being away from home for two and a half months?
For over 20 years, Carbon Leaf has been honing their musical craft that deftly blends folk, country and Celtic and rock elements. While their musical identity has evolved and matured on the road, so, too, has the band's ability to find healthy sleep while touring.
People always talk about how you'll meet unique characters if you embrace travel, but you don't always expect to meet someone who's personal story is jaw-dropping. That's what happened when I met Brad.
Touring is a difficult job, and Sons of Bill are doing their best to find ways to balance their love of music and need for sleep.
There is a good deal of curiosity about the private lives of string quartets, as if they were bizarre, secret societies. I answered a small variety of questions this way I can begin to give you some idea of what it's really like.
Over the past thirty-four seasons my world has grown to enormous proportions of extraordinary depth and richness because of the places and people now as familiar to me as my own home, and in some cases, as my own family.
TV Girls, Trung Ngo and Brad Petering, are long time San Diego friends. Their groovy beats make me wanna cruise on the PCH and stop off for a milkshake, go roller skating and jump in a pool.
Villainizing the entire organization is a mistake. It ignores, and dismisses, the services Planned Parenthood provides that we all -- regardless of our political views -- can agree are important.

Using Math with Fields
Here is a little tip on using math in fields that reference other fields. How could this help you? Let's look at an example where we will create a field that shows us 1/3 of the length of a line.
- Run the FIELD command.
- Under "Field Category", choose Objects, then choose "Formula" for the "Field Name".
- Right click in the Formula area and choose "Insert Field".
- A second Field dialog will appear. Select "Object", pick the select button then select the line.
- When the dialog returns choose "Length" as the property and click OK to close this dialog.
- Now back to the original Field dialog. It should look like the one shown below, where the length of the line is shown with a grey background (so you know it's a field). My line length is 8.9216.
- Place your cursor at the end of this field, add a space, and then add the math formula. In this example, I'll add * 0.3333, to get 1/3 of the length.
- Now press the "Evaluate" button and the look in the upper right of the dialog. The result of your formula will be displayed.
- Press OK to place the field in the drawing. I used the additional format button to add a text prefix to mine.
This same process holds true for just about any type of numeric field. It could be a sheet set property or a system variable. Unfortunately Dates do not work with math using this process. But there is another way to use math with dates in fields, stay tuned for a post on how to do this.

Monday, June 17 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Harvard University, 1730 Cambridge Street, CGIS South in Lecture Hall – S010
This event, hosted by the Institute of Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University and organized by the Center of Complex Network Research at Northeastern University on June 17, brings together social scientists, computer scientists, economists, physicists and mathematicians to discuss the quantitative laws and patterns behind success.
During the past few years the availability of massive data on individual performance has prompted many scientists to start exploring patterns that govern the path to individual success. The take on this important topic can be rather diverse — from exploring citations to influential scientific papers to the emergence of runaway videos on YouTube, from the popularity of hash tags on Twitter to the path to success for countries. As such the tools and perspectives vary, involving social scientists, computer scientists, economists, physicists and mathematicians. The results are published in venues with non-overlapping readership.
The goal of the Science of Success is to form discussions on the subject of measuring and predicting individual performance and success.

text: Popular Chronicles October 15, 2001 Issue Art for Everybody By Susan Orlean View Issue» Art for Everybody The New Yorker, October 15, 2001 P. 124 ABSTRACT: POPULAR CHRONICLES about painter Thomas Kinkade, 43, and the large, publicly-traded business he has created to market his work… Writer visits a Thomas Kinkade Signature Gallery during a Master Highlighter Event at a shopping mall in New Jersey… it's hard to distinguish one Kinkade from the next, because their effect is so unvarying-smooth and warm and romantic, not quite fantastical but not quite real, more of a wishful and inaccurate rendering of what the world looks like, as if painted by someone who hadn't been outside in a long time. In a Kinkade painting, if there is a bridge or a road or a gate (as there often is, since Kinkade likes visual devices that carry you into the picture frame) the bridge or the road or the gate is finely detailed, and the burr on the cobblestone or the grain in the brick is so precise it could have been drawn with a whisker… The effect is wee and precious-the cottages look as if they had been built out of cookie dough and roofed with butter cream, more suited to elves or mice than to human beings… By and large, art critics consider Kinkade a commercial hack whose work is mawkish and suspiciously fluorescent, and whose genius is not for art but for marketing-for creating an "editions pyramid" of his prints, each level up a little more expensive, which whips up collectors' appetites the way retiring Beanie Babies did. Last year, his Media Arts Group had a hundred and thirty-two million dollars in revenues. It has been traded-first on the Nasdaq, then on the New York Stock Exchange-since 1994, making Kinkade the only artist to be a small-cap equity issue. What Kinkade's fans will tell you about his paintings is that they are much more than just paintings-overlooking, of course, the irony that they are also much less than paintings, since they are really just reproductions… Describes customer banter during a highlighting session at the shopping mall in New Jersey… Writer asked Kinkade what he would have done with his life if he hadn't become a painter. "What would I have done?" he repeated, gazing across the room. "I would have probably become a motivational speaker."… Writer had toured the manufacturing area of Media Arts in California and had watched a crew of Hispanic workers peel images off wet paper and smooth them onto canvases and then slide them onto racks like pies set out to cool, and describes seeing boxes in New Jersey, fresh from the factory with titles scribbled on them… View Article Susan Orlean began contributing articles to The New Yorker in 1987, and became a staff writer in 1992.

HMV is entering the digital video-on-demand (VOD) market with a new online service, which will allow customers to stream and download hundreds of films.
The music retailer has teamed up with FilmFlex Movies on its latest attempt to offset declining sales of DVDs in its stores.
The deal with FilmFlex Movies will allow HMV to offer the latest movies through deals with over 30 distributors and suppliers including Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros and Walt Disney.
"Our deal with HMV illustrates perfectly the benefit of combining their well-known brand and high traffic volumes with our own expertise in technology and content," Jeff Henry, chief executive officer at FilmFlex, told reporters.
Spotify and iTunes lead a digital music revolution

Unique Root Domains and SEO
SEO experts often perform massive studies of the Web, trying to figure out what the best way to rank on Google actually is. Dozens of theories have been proposed, and they change as Google changes its algorithm. A decade ago, it was PageRank that seemed to be all-important; a short time after that it was the total authority of your incoming link funnel. But through all of it, there has been one attribute that has been the most consistent in matching up well with your Google rank: the number of unique root domains that your page has incoming links from.
The Power of Unique Root Domain Backlinks
For example, let's look at a hypothetical webpage. This webpage is new, and it's focused on a keyword with remarkably low competition – only 400 competing pages. The website's author has a friend that works for Wikipedia, and manages to get the page linked to from seven different pages on Wikipedia. That's a lot of authority, and the page gets quickly indexed and appears in the #1 spot for it's keyword on day one.
Then, along comes another webmaster who has stumbled upon the same phrase, and wants to win. He doesn't have a friend at Wikipedia, but he does know the value of unique root domains. He starts a blog on WordPress, writes a Squidoo lens, gets his site listed in the Yahoo! Web Directory, puts an article up on EzineArticles.com, fits his website into an answer at Wis.Dm and squeezes in a guest post on a friend's blog that has it's own unique URL. That's six different unique root domains — none of which has the authority and power of Wikipedia behind it — but the effect is that he knocks the first webpage off of the #1 spot less than a week after he went into business.
Some Important Details
Just to be clear, what we're talking about is the number of unique root domains linking to your website versus the number of unique root domains linking to your competitors' websites for any given keyword. For example, if the keyword is "betta fish" and you have 120 unique root domains linking back to you and your competitor has 150, chances are good that he will outrank you. For the keyword "fighting bettas", however if the number one spot has only 90 unique root domains linking to him, your 120 are likely to defeat him and take the number one spot.
It should be noted that while the number of unique root domains linking to your website is a strong indicator of your website's potential rank for any given keyword, it is only a strong indicator. The best studies indicate that the statistic is wrong in just over a quarter of all cases — so there are clearly a lot of other factors to take into account.
How to Take Advantage
The outcome of this research is clear: if you want to rank highly for any given keyword, your first goal should be to record the number of unique root domains linking back to the top 3 sites for that keyword, and do whatever it takes to obtain backlinks from more unique root domains than they have. It might not win the day on it's own, but it's a very solid place to start.
Talking about taking advantage, why don't you read my free people search article and take advantage of this useful information to find and reconnect with long-lost friends? It might be a good idea to try.

15 Response to Unique Root Domains and SEO
TrafficColeman on July 8, 2011
Zarko here is the thing..Google see each page like a separate website if you know it or not..so if you can just build links for a certain page then you can out rank anyone..I been doing it for years now.
But I do say those root links do hold some value though.
"Black Seo Guy "Signing Off"
Mark @ TheBitBot Organic SEO & SEM Blog on July 8, 2011
I definitely see the value in having links from as many unique root domains as possible.
Generally, this increases the variety of unique C-Class IP addresses pointing to your site.
If I had a choice between 100 links from one domain or 100 links from 100 domains all other things being equal, I would definitely choose the structure with the most variety.
Naturalness in terms of appearance definitely counts.
Djordje@Los Angeles SEO on July 8, 2011
I would agree with you, it is important to have links from different domains. Also, it is natural, as it is not logic that you have link from some big authority site, and that you do not have a lot of them from small sites.
Martin@CDL Practice Test on July 8, 2011
This is news to me, i wasn't aware these kind of link are so powerful. I'l have to rethink my strategy. Looks like i still have a lot of work in front of me.

>>>Zarko here is the thing..Google see each page like a separate website if you know it or not..so if you can just build links for a certain page then you can out rank anyone..I been doing it for years now.
This is kind of the problem.. since they are treated as separate pages, it makes the task of building individual links for everything look so daunting
Ryan Ward on July 9, 2011
Hey Zarko,
You've shared a very important article. Completely true that the number of unique root domains linking to our website is a strong indicator of the website's potential rank. I've read a couple of your other articles on link building and has been thinking of ways to implement some of the techniques you shared on link baiting. Thanks and I hope to come across more helpful articles.
Mark of Success on July 9, 2011
Interesting findings, Zarko! I liked the fact that links from 6 small sites could beat 6 links from Wikipedia. Pretty interesting! Did you ever try it yourself and see similar results?

Kristina L.@TonerBoss Coupon Code on July 12, 2011
Hey there, Žarko,
It seems it is still the problem that unique domain roots which are linking to website are just an indicator of the potential rank of the site…therefore, not a guaranteee. But,I understand it is a very strong indicator, and other factors have to be taken into account in order to come to the best result we were hoping for. SEO is always a big topic for discussing, I feel there is constantly something new to be learned.
Arrmondo@Memphis Hotels on July 13, 2011
Great post. This was actually sent to me by a friend, because I kept bugging him about this question. I consistantly see competitors with mutliple liks from one domain. Good to know that there is still a chance.
seo resellers on July 14, 2011
Yeah. It will be better having back links from different domain than having it from same domain..but If you're getting links from same domain but from different pages then you're absolutely getting PR link juice from it & it'll also work for some pages for improving SERP
Roland@rome hotels on July 15, 2011
Agree with you about that, the figure in unique root domain which is linking to our website could be a sign that we can attain a good website ranking. It is just a good barometer in gauging this website potential ranking.We area expecting more every time you have a post and absorb the information you are sharing. Just continue your good intention because you are helping you spectators.
Amit@Forklift Training on July 25, 2011
Well, it's true i've seen websites with 100 backlinks from the same number of domains outranking websites with 10000 backlinks from 10 domains, but i've also seen the opposite. What matters the most is the quality of that website linking to you, and that's hard to get.

D.J.Rony on March 1, 2012
It's always the quality of the sites linking to your end. The quantity is not a fact anymore. And these days Google has gone far beyond ranking the root domain. It is now ranking each and every pages of a blog. Which was actually the plan when PR was created.

DKP ing the fragments postpones by a lot the moment when someone, anyone, in your raid will complete the mace.
What good is having ten people with a tenth of the mace, when one could already have one personn have it fully ? Or taking 5 years to have 10 maces when you could have 1 mace in 6 months instead ?
My guild's loot council goes by "whatever helps the raid more", with a bit of fairness thrown in. ie, the one who got the first fragment will get all of them until he's completed his thingy. And it was an officer+ raid lead with very high attendance, who deserved it for effort, for high attendance... and we know he won't stop sowhing up once his mace is complete.

…[extract]…"He picked a Salinger Book and sat me down on the dark blue carpet in the middle of his Loft.
Circling me in a slow pace he read me the story of the soldier and little Esme.
It wasn't John Beauregards voice I heard now. This one had a cold baritonish feel to it. Much in contrast to his other soft and deep manly voice. I knew he was an entrepreneur of sorts, in business with variations of characters, all split from himself but still manifested in him. He was an actor and a businessman. A mad genius and a crook. I closed my eyes and his voice threw me into the cafe with the little girl and his brother and her handing over the watch to the American soldier and then it was war and disaster and bombs and his limbs, all the limbs flying. With her well wishes for nothing. And his heart, in shreds on the paper.
He pulled me back up when his echoes died by the end of the letter to Esme. And he looked at me, ready to wake me up. It took me a while to realize I wasn't in the story entwined with Salingers brain and excellence. I wasn't anywhere, I was somewhere. I was here. I was in his arms.
His eyes wandering, hectic and almost shy. Sometime resting on my collarbone, grazing the poetry inked in my skin. I didn't wear any clothes under his stare, no safe barrier between us. His character and mine, and then all I felt was home inside of me.
I had slept with New York City."
I watched him stare at her. Watched his face lose its stern expression by the thought of her being in the same room. His mouth twitching funnily before it would widen to a warm and absent smile. "You see this woman?" he asked without directing his eyes to me. Making it unable for him to see with how much admiration I kept studying him. "She's homeless. She makes a few bucks every day writing bad poetry on the street. She's buying red lipstick and black ink to keep her from realizing how poor she really is. It works, I see her stroll the waterfront in Brooklyn on the weekends. Once, I walked up to her and she showed me a black can, she said she saved up all week to buy it. She confused she shit out of me. Being so pretty but so odd and broken. She worked hard to keep her smile from fading. And when she explained that the man that had sold her the can told her it contained a ghost, I couldn't help but fall for her."
I kissed his temple. "You'd make a fortune asking people for a penny for your thoughts."
His head moved to me and he shrugged. "Who's gonna pay a bum in this town? There are too many."
We did this almost every day. Picking a place somewhere in New York, our Home and Blood and beating Heart. We'd ravage our brains, spit out ideas, make up stories.
"What is life?" I wanted to know.
"A streak of miserable jumps into the unknown where for the splitsecond of rare moments in time you feel weightless and safe inside a crumbling and self-destructive case shutting out endless darkness?"
He made me smile. I didn't belong to him but he made me ignore the numbing pressure life had on me. He was weird and dangerously smart. His smile promised happiness but his eyes spoke in sadness with every blink.
I steered his attention to another girl sitting by the window.
"His father left her when she was six. A raging alcoholic. Now she sits in this bar. Every single day. Alone. Always alone. All the men in her life never wanted her. They broke her. Just like her Dad did. The old pathetic classic case. She wants to be somebody's muse. She craves weirdness and intelligent conversations. She's so scared of failing. Basically because it's all she was ever good at. But most of all, she's tired of fate fucking her up. Throwing her up for a single inhale of joy but letting her rush down in seemingly never ending streams of beating ups. She's been fucked up so badly it makes her loathe herself so much,she developed a habit of smashing every mirror she passes." Sometimes when I was finished telling my story, I felt pushed out to sea. Struggling with water rushing in, eager to keep the memories out but overwhelmed with storytelling. We made it a rule not to speak the truth even if we knew, even if we hurt. But here I was, failing. I pushed his hand away. Ignoring him trying to make it easier for me. He knew. He always knew.
"You oughta take a shot at fiction." he nudged my head, playfully displeased.
He got up and walked to the big arch window. My fingers traced his steps, my eyes always on his back. The bar was dark mostly. Dark wood, just a dim light so the bartender could at least pretend he was working. But his back turned to me lit it up. His plain white shirt was my light, bright like the center of everything. His brown hair ruffled and tousled to a point I doubted he could ever get rid of the snarls again. His right hand always lifted up, scratching his beard. He never did not look like a picture perfect lumberjack waiting for a freight train to arrive so he can jump on, unnoticed, leaving behind ghosttown after ghosttown.
"He who belonged to this city right away. He came to this wondrous place and expected the world. Only now realizing that the city was his world. It was his creation. Every moment he spends touching lifes of the millions and millions of people he meets he comes home a little more. He doesn't wait for that train any longer even though he still looks so lost. But he got here with heavy boots and a cut out heart. He got here pleading to be healed. And look at him now. Filling up a tiny room in a tiny street on a tiny intersection in a tiny part of a tiny neighborhood in a tiny borough of a tiny city in a tiny state in a tiny corner of a tiny country on a tiny continent on a tiny planet in the infinite universe. He fills it up and it's his doing alone. And he makes the girl so unbelievably, utterly happy to be standing behind him. Touching his flawless features showing underneath the white fabric clutched to his broad shoulders."
He turned around, looking at my fingertips writing words on his bones.
"Why, oh why. Does he never see me?"
He looked at me then. So much of this city in his eyes. And with a gesture so wide and welcoming he shoved me closer to the window, the back of my head resting on his chest. "I see you. And this. Is Home."
I smiled at myself in the mirror behind the dozens of booze bottles stacked at the bar. Wondering if I should be smashing it with my fist or the fine vintage tumbler glass they served the Whiskey in. He was long gone. Without ever actually talking to me. Just a figure I made up in my head. But he was good. He was my favorite. That's why I kept him so alive in this place. At least in my imagination I knew someone I hadn't disappointed. Someone who would get lost with me, letting a day pass, never once looking at the time. Creativity and oddness. Moments more valuable than everything there has ever been before. At least in my imagination I did have someone like New York City.
And he did. He looked at her. In a hazy moment he stared at her and for a while their gazes lingered. In that dark alley, surrounded by screaming lights. The girl remembered nothing. She just still felt so wrong. Every moment she and him shared, she had felt wrong. Like all the potential she had been so much in love with didn't even try to stop haunting her like she had wanted to believe. All she ever felt for him, always bound for wrecking. She knew that even now, more than fours years after they first met. "I wanted to remember Paris." she thought. "Wanted to remember the good and how I'm done with our story." Her fucking big mouth. He hovered over her, he still rushed in and out of her like that disaster he had always been. And she was still paralyzed by him. Still so unbelievably angry by everything he said that was not directed towards her alone, by how he moved when it was not for her only. She had always said that he takes up a room like a king, with fanfares and trumpets. That what to others felt like a revelation of sorts, to her it was an unnecessary mask. For her, he was art alone. And she remembered well. How tiny it could make her feel. All the hustle and bustle of his act and her in the middle. Stripping it all down until it was just the two of them again. Like, to her, he was the only person alive in this world.
He was back. "Stay, Stay. Stay." she whimpered to herself.
But of course he would leave. And naturally, it left a hole behind. But then. She was the girl with the Open Heart surgery. She was the girl in Paris. The girl seeing him walk off, vanish into SoHo's Bustle a million times. She was the girl sitting on the red bench alone, smiling the tears away. It was funny. After all those years, she could still watch her heart break inside of him.
Thank You For Existing
She knew nothing could ever hold her down long enough. All her life, she moved places without seeing anyone or hearing anything. But wherever she went, her fingers would trace a map until she would find a Lighthouse on top of a Hill. Like clockwork this place would become her favorite Place in the world and she would find ways to escape, every day. Moving lightly, up the trodden pathways with the surges of wind lifting her feet. Strangers Thoughts and Resolutions lying on the side, crunching beneath her shoes. She smashed hers down, too. Making those Hills graveyards, leaving something of herself behind everywhere she went. She stripped down. Until she was nothing more than a blank page, swaying in the wind. Making it swoosh through her clothes, pushing her back and forth so the beautiful force of nature was all she would feel for a moment. They pinched her eyes that day. That day, exactly one year ago, gales of the ocean entering Boston Harbor, they made her blind for a second or two. And when she reopened them, still blurred from her lashes slowly parting, she saw him wandering down this long empty hallway. Coffeecup in one hand, his Home embroidered on his cap covering most of his face. And she felt what everybody must have meant with 'seeing things' or 'hearing things' or 'feeling…someone'. Fresh impulses reached the deepest corners of her unwritten mindset. Overwhelming, new impulses of everything there was. All of him. And when they clashed in smiles and Hellos she got overrun by the world. She learned about gratitude. Which up until him had felt like the strangest concept to her. She learned about it that day. Gratitude that was pure and sincere. Gratitude that felt no longer strange but inevitable.Trials and Tribulations of this life swirling above her head,dancing and wafting like there was no weight to them anymore now that she had let go and seen him. He became all there was. Her beaming ray of sunshine. Her windwhirls and her Lighthouse and her Escape. He became her plan. The only plan she'd ever have.

Elkhart, Ind. The Elkhart community is refusing to let the tragic shooting at a Martin's Supermarket on Jan. 15 define them.
Thousands of people have logged on to an 'Elkhart Strong' Facebook page since then, sharing messages of hope and support.
Michael Bailey started the page shortly after the shooting as a way to honor the victims, 20-year-old Krystle Dikes and 44-year-old Rachelle Godfread.
"My family decided we needed to do something to help in any way we could," Bailey said.
The response is something he never expected – the page has grown to nearly 10,000 likes
And, it inspired the idea of creating a t-shirt to honor the women. Skinner the Printer in downtown Elkhart is printing the shirts, with all proceeds going to the victims' families.
"Everybody thinks about what it is that they can do, how can I help, what can I do?" said Kristina Cooper with Skinner the Printer. "Well, what we do, we print shirts."
The store has been flooded with calls for the shirts and plans to keep filling orders until they stop coming in. And, the support for the community and victims' families is coming from far beyond Elkhart.
"We're getting orders from Colorado, Tennessee, out of state," Cooper said. "And, the response is just very heartwarming."
But, Bailey wants people to do more than just wear the 'Elkhart Strong' shirt. They all bear an important message: pay it forward.
People are asked to commit two random acts of kindness in honor of Dikes and Godfread. And, the idea's already taken off.
The 'Elkhart Strong' Facebook page describes instances where people have paid for strangers' groceries or picked up tabs at restaurants.
"I want people to do something nice for somebody just because it's the right thing to do," Bailey said. "Not because it says so on the shirt, just because it's the right thing to do."
And, while the heartache from the tragedy will linger for a long time, the t-shirts will serve as a reminder of the legacy Dikes and Godfread leave behind – and how much easier it is to cope when you do it as a community.
"We adapt, we overcome, we heal and we become stronger," Bailey said. "And, this proves it."

Please note: This is a slim fitting style, for a more comfortable fit you may wish to order a size above your usual.

- Women's microfleece by Trespass

Celebrate National Park Service's 96th Birthday: Enjoy a Fire Island program on August 25
Contact: Paula Valentine, 631-687-4759
This Saturday, the National Park Service (NPS) celebrates the 96th anniversary of its establishment on August 25, 1916. You can join the celebration by visiting one of your local national parks and joining a special ranger-guided tour or program. Fire Island National Seashore (which was added to the National Park System on September 11, 1964) is offering a variety of programs this weekend and into the fall.
"We have regularly scheduled canoe tours at Watch Hill and Sunken Forest tours at Sailors Haven to help you get to know the natural resources preserved and protected in this national park," said Fire Island's Chief of Interpretation Kathy Krause. "Our Junior Ranger: Path to Discovery program this Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at Sailors Haven and at Watch Hill focuses on maritime history, and we're offering a 1½-hour maritime history tour at 4:00 p.m. at the Fire Island Lighthouse this Saturday. The Secrets of the Seashore program will be held at the Wilderness Visitor Center this Saturday at 10:30 a.m.," added Krause. A wide variety of programs is planned each year to appeal to many interests and to represent the broad diversity of park resources. Of course, you may always just visit your local national park for a stroll on the beach, a swim at a lifeguard-protected beach, or a tour of a nationally significant historic site, like the William Floyd Estate (home of one of New York's four signers of the Decalaration of Independence) or the Fire Island Lighthouse (which now displays the rare, original first-order Fresnel lens that was installed at the top of this lighthouse from 1858-1933).
See "What's Happening This Week" for a complete list of programs at Fire Island National Seashore. An expanded Calendar of Events is also available on line.
