I'm using the p2p_connected shortcode to display connected posts in my page template. What I need the shortcode to do is create the link to the connected post as it does but rather than output the title of the post I just want it to display "Overview". Also it really doesn't need to be in a ul but I can live with that if need be.
Thanks for any assistance.

Orion reports profit, acquisition of Fla. lighting manufacturer
Orion Energy Systems Inc. (OESX) on Wednesday reported higher sales and earnings in the fourth quarter that ended in March, and announced its intention to buy a Florida maker of fluorescent and LED lighting systems.
The Manitowoc-based maker of energy-efficient lighting systems said net income was $500,000, or 3 cents per share, compared with a loss of $200,000, or 1 cent a share, in the same period last year.
Sales rose 4% to $22.3 million in the quarter.
Orion also said it has signed an agreement to acquire Harris Manufacturing and Harris LED, both located in Green Cove Springs, Fla., for $10 million. Harris makes energy efficient lighting systems as well as daylighting products.
Harris had $14.5 million in sales and profit of $900,000 in 2012, according to Orion.
The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of September, and is expected to add to the company's net income during the fiscal year that just began, said Scott Jensen, chief financial officer.
Harris provides lighting for the new construction market, providing a different set of customers than Orion, which has focused on lighting retrofits at existing buildings, company executives said during a conference call.
Although most of its sales are not LED lighting, Harris has developed a new LED product for offices that provides a simple conversion from fluorescent to LED, said Scribante.
Company executives did not discuss the status of a dispute between Orion and its former chief executive officer, Neal Verfuerth.
Verfuerth had filed a whistleblower complaint against Orion after he was replaced as chief executive last fall.
In its filing with securities regulators in February, Orion said it incurred higher expenses in the third quarter in connection with "the favorable investigation and dismissal of a whistleblower complaint from our former CEO."
Verfuerth was replaced last fall but remained on the company's board of directors. He resigned in late November, saying the board was interfering with his ability to serve as a board member.
In his Nov. 27 letter of resignation he made reference to a whistleblower complaint he had filed.
The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday reported that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was continuing to investigate a complaint filed in December by Verfuerth.
The complaint alleged that the company reassigned him "after he raised internal concerns about what he says was wrongdoing that could affect shareholder value," the newspaper reported.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Chris Rainey was arrested in Gainesville on Thursday morning and charged with one count of simple battery after allegedly slapping his girlfriend across the face. "At approximately 8:26am on January 10th, 2013, the Gainesville Police Department received a 911 call from a witness that reported a male subject and a female subject involved in a verbal altercation that turned physical," a Gainesville Police Department statement read. "Officers arrived and identified Christopher J. Rainey as the male involved. Witnesses told officers that Rainey and the victim got into an argument over Raineys cellphone.

Ferries in Greece: Best to book online or in country?
We'll be traveling to Greece next month, going from Athens to the Cyclades and back by ferry. Assuming our schedule is fixed, is it best to book our ferry tickets ahead of time (e.g. using a company like Paleologos) or to book them in Greece. Any benefit to booking them over there?

My Mom hated that I was interested in anything with an engine. I did my first sub-11 second pass on a drag strip at 8-9 with by father. My first ride on a motorcycle was with the nextdoor neighbor at maybe four. No shirt, No shoes, no lid, NO PROBLEM (this was 1982-1983) I dragged my first non-functional dirtbike home in return for raking a yard....at 8 years old. My Mom STILL 26 years later bitches at me every time she sees a motorcycle...whether or not its mine or if I'm riding it or not...my father has passed, so I can't call him for carb advise anymore.
My Pops was a gearhead, he was a mechanic by trade, but he wasn't a rider, he knew how to ride a motorcycle, he took off on mine more than once, it just wasn't something that got him going, 1/4 mile was his thing, always was.
They made their opinions on the subject known ...loudly, in some case (something about a block long wheelie
) but for the most part I was allowed to make my own decisions, it was rare that my parents flat put their foot down, unless it was something illegal.

GREENFIELD — The Greenfield-Central football team won't hit the road for another month, but G-C administrators and coaches will visit various other high school stadiums well before the Cougars head to Mt. Vernon on Sept. 5 for a Week 3 battle.
A committee commissioned by the G-C school board two months ago is planning to tour several area high schools which have switched from natural grass football fields to artificial turf.
The committee was formed to study the possibility of a field upgrade at G-C and, through three meetings, the group has come to at least one conclusion:
"Whether it's replacing it with natural or going with artificial … we need to do something with that field," committee chairman and high school associate assistant principal Dave Beal said Tuesday during its most recent meeting.

Overland Expo 2013
I was sorting through photos and came up on a collection from the Overland Expo last year in Flagstaff. This expo is nothing short of inspiring and is guaranteed to make you want to quit your day job and wander aimlessly around the planet. A big highlight for me was meeting the legendary Ted Simon. He possesses a calmness and confidence about him which can only be achieved from decades of wandering. He is a true adventurer.
My buddies Tim, Jimmy, and Billy all flew into Phoenix for the event. Tim arrived from New Jersey, Jimmy from Seattle, and Billy from the UK. It was great great to reunite with the three of them and ride again.
They rented bikes locally and we took the long way up to the Expo. One can easily drive the Interstate between Phoenix and Flagstaff in under 2 hours if you are in a hurry. Our route was 297 miles mostly off road and took nearly 9 hours. A much better option.
We launched from my home into the 105 degree weather and descended into the Apache Trail. This follows the Salt River Canyon as is meanders along the Saguaro, Canyon, Apache, and Roosevelt Lakes. We then headed into the mountains to the quirky little town of Young, Az.
From here, we hopped on Forest Road 300 and rode along the majestic Mogollon Rim above Payson, Arizona. A stunning ride with dramatic views and great twisties. Finally, we jumped on Lake Mary Road to end up at the Expo at Mormon Lake.
The Expo itself was quite a spectacle. There were numerous venders offering every service and luxury imaginable for the serious overlander. I was envious of some of the rigs these people had. We are talking about vehicles in excess of $500,000. I was immediately drawn to the earth Roamers and the Sportsmobiles. Those beasts are the bomb!
Until I hit the jackpot, I will stick with my 2 wheeled setup. It can get me anywhere I need to go and costs less than $20 to fill up.
Numerous bikes were on display including BMW and KTM. All the tire vendors were there showing off their new rubber. Classes and clinics were ongoing throughout the day and included first aid, rollover techniques, and riding techniques. Rayhyde put on a great demo for Dual Sport riders and had participants ride their bike along the man made course with hill climbs, whoops, and jumps.
I decided to suit up and give it a shot. A fun little course!
The group stayed at the Monte Vista in downtown Flagstaff. This quaint hotel is in the heart of Flagstaff and is quite the scene. The lobby bar has been a gathering place for weary travelers for decades. Like usual, we stayed up late, drank too much, and suffered the next morning.
The next day, Tim and Jimmy headed out to check out the Grand Canyon while Billy and I wandered the Expo.
That evening,Billy decided to camp out at the expo and froze his ass off. I believe the temp dropped down into the high 20's. I decided to opt for more luxurious accommodations and stayed at a friends house in town.
Billy woke to find this ugly little FF staring back at him!
We headed back to the "Valley of the Sun" the next day. Our route home did not include any gravel roads, but it was just as much fun. The temp steadily climbed from 50 degrees back up to over 100 degrees.
It is hard to act manly when you are posing next to a pink jeep!
From the expo, we dropped down into Sedona along the Oak River Canyon. This provided miles of twisties through a deep canyon. We then proceeded to the historic ghost town of Jerome AZ...the wickedest town in the west. We had a great lunch at a restauratnt overlooking the valley, and then blasted off for another long section of fast twisties before arriving back in Phoenix.
My wife and I are going to attend the EXPO again this year in Flagstaff. We are going to camp out this time and soak it all in. Billy Ward, who is Charley Boorman's tour manager, will be there with a stand this year. I am still waiting on final confirmation as to whether Charley himself will be there. If you are in the area, stop by Charley's and Billy's booth and share your story. We will all be camping out, riding motorcycles, drinking beer, and sharing stories. It should be a great weekend!
A single adventure can change the course of a life...

Today, collectors owe thanks to the 100 or so contemporary collectors who ordered double eagles from the Denver Mint in 1931 to keep their collections updated. Without those few collectors, the 1931-D twenty might become another unknown issue such as the 1873-S Seated dollar or the 1964-D Peace dollar. Estimates of the number of surviving examples fall in the 100 to 150 coin range, a small population for a member of so popular a series as the Saint-Gaudens double eagles.
This impressive twenty has a bold strike with beautiful rose-gold at the centers, and a frame of light greenish-gold near the borders. Both sides have the usual quota of small marks associated with the grade, and they are more evident on the reverse of this specimen. Population: 34 in 64, 19 finer (11/10).(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 26GP, PCGS# 9193)

What's so good?
By sweeney kovar | Oct 17, 2012 | Total plays: 9,899
Fast-forward to earlier this fall, I'm in L.A. once again and I find that Cohenbeats is back there, too. We ran into each other at a Shafiq Husayn performance and, once again, I was given a CD of tunes to check out. I must admit the hogpile of miscellanous crap that is in my vehicle swallowed up said CD for a few weeks before I found it again. I'm glad I did. The growth that the Israeli producer underwent in just under a year was noticeable and impressive.
One of my favorites from that batch was this re-working of the seminal "T.R.O.Y." by the grand architects Pete Rock and CL Smooth. With a new sample in tow and pitched just a tad bit lower than usual, Cohenbeats found a way to give a timeless classic a fresh spin.

I have a linux box that runs VmWare server 2. Several VMs that run on the server are assigned non-private network IPs directly and connected via bridged interface vmnet0 to eth0. The problem is that it is possible to sniff the traffic of one VM on the other VM. It looks like vmnet0 works as a hub. Is it possible to make vmnet0 work as a switch and not as hub, so sniffing was not possible? Or is there any other way to assign real (non-private) IPs to VMs?

Product description
For nearly a century the two most powerful nations on earth, Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia, fought a secret war in the lonely passes and deserts of Central Asia. Those engaged in this shadowy struggle called it 'The Great Game', a phrase immortalized by Kipling. When play first began the two rival empires lay nearly 2,000 miles apart. By the end, some Russian outposts were within 20 miles of India. This classic book tells the story of the Great Game through the exploits of the young officers, both British and Russian, who risked their lives playing it. Disguised as holy men or native horse-traders, they mapped secret passes, gathered intelligence and sought the allegiance of powerful khans. Some never returned. The violent repercussions of the Great Game are still convulsing Central Asia today.

Edwin Coleman
How do you define leadership?
I define leadership as a quality that entails not only being in the forefront of a cause or organization, but more importantly, being extremely humble and sacrificial in all of one's actions and intentions.
I do practice leadership from day to day. For example, I am a part of three leading executive boards: Crazies Who Care, Students to Unite Duke (STUD), and Prism (the multicultural selective living group).
"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God."

Gear Question
Since the bottom has no insulation this...
Since the bottom has no insulation this bag can't be used as a single, correct? It's not like zipping two bags together.
Todd Cox
Um, not exactly, no. It's one big honker bag with two pad sleeves (the sleeves are the uninsulated bit on the bottom.) If for some reason you had two pads and wanted a really huge not very heat efficient single bag, you could use it solo. If you don't have both pads in it though you'll have some SERIOUS draft and conductive heat loss issues.

36 year old woman | Redondo Beach, CA, USA | Seeking men 34-45 within 30 miles
Looking for the suspenders to my happy pants! :-)
Please, no one-liners about my Batgirl costume. :-) Over the years I have met a number of successful people in business and in life, and the happiest and most enlightened all have one thing in common: they know what they DON'T want, and they don't tolerate any of it if they don't have to. So take some time today and decide what standards you are going to set for yourself - then have some fun enforcing them. :-) I've been married, and I have a beautiful daughter, so I don't have a "biological clock" pushing me into a relationship. I want to find the right person for me. I realize that this will take time, but I know that he will be worth the wait. In fact, he could be staring at my profile right now! ;-) My ideal man is thoughtful, successful, driven, funny, and compassionate. He enjoys the finer things in life but realizes that the most important thing of all is who you are sharing your life with. Whether it be family, friends, or a lover, he chooses wisely and it shows. I believe in emotional and mental chemistry. By Date #2, we will know whether there is potential for a long-term relationship. If there isn't, I won't waste your time or mine. Little more about me: I have a great career and am raising a daughter on my own. I'm strong and independent, but a big ball of mush in the right man's arms. I have a sarcastic yet witty sense of humor, and I love to laugh. I'm a girly girl. This means I like to look nice, get my hair and nails done, stay in shape, etc. I don't like spiders and I'm not a fan of camping in the wilderness. This doesn't make me "high maintenance" - it just makes me a woman. I was raised on the East Coast, and can handle things like dirty jokes and opinionated family members. Sarcasm and a sense of humor keep life interesting. I sing in my car while I drive, I lose my sunglasses often (and find them on my head), and I love nothing more than laughing till I cry. As an HR Consultant, I have some great stories to tell. I once was chased out to my car by an employee that I fired – and when I turned around, he was naked. True story. So, if you're looking for a woman with drive, brains, femininity, and a sense of humor, you've found your match. But you better bring it! :-)
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts
Aerobics, Dancing, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I haven't had the opportunity to travel as much as I'd like, but I pretty much enjoy any place near the water. I've been to Belize, Miami, Cabo San Lucas, etc. I'm originally from the East Coast and like to visit often.
California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA
I'm a Foodie! :-) I love trying new restaurants. Now the bad news: I don't care for wine. :-/
Dinner, dancing, comedy clubs, happy hours, and enjoying the beautiful South Bay weather!

Cartier opens the doors to the new Cartier & Aldo Cipullo, New York City in the '70s exhibition tomorrow at the Cartier Mansion, 5th Ave, New York to celebrate the work of the iconic jeweler Aldo Cipullo and the release of the new Juste Un Clou collection, based on Cipullo's original 1971 design.
Also credited with the creation of the significant Love bracelet, the theme of hardware as fine jewelry was a concurrent theme throughout his career at Cartier, and has gone on to inspire a number of humble-luxe jewelry designs since.
The exhibition highlights this innovative period at the French jewelry house, and presents a number of iconic pieces and provides an insight into the influential work of Cipullo.
Visit the exhibition at The Carter Mansion, 653 Fifth Avenue

"Rico doesn't feel like he fits in too well in New York City. He's a Cuban boy who looks and sounds white, his mother nags him and his father drinks too much. Running away to Wisconsin, Rico finds that he hasn't managed to leave behind all the jerks or all the questions. However, he does find a community of teens, all dealing with issues of race, imperfect families, and how to use their talents to make a future."
— Julie Leonard, Troubadour Books, Boulder, CO
In the 1960s, Rico Fuentes, a pale-skinned Cuban American teenager, abandons drug-infested New York City for the picket fence and apple pie world of Wisconsin, only to discover that he still feels like an outsider and that violent and judgmental people can be found even in the wholesome Midwest.
About the Author
Oscar Hijuelos was born of Cuban parentage in New York City in 1951. He is a recipient of the Rome Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation, among others. His five previous novels have been translated into twenty-five languages.
Oscar Hijuelos nacio de padres cubanos en Nueva York en 1951. Sus otras novelas incluyen Mr. Ives' Christmas, The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien, Our House in the Last World y A Simple Havana Melody (Una Sencilla Melodia Habanera). Vive en Nueva York.

4 Perfections of God's Transforming Word
from Joel Beeke Jul 01, 2015 Category: ArticlesWhat are the particular traits or characteristics of God's Word that render it so useful a tool and so powerful a weapon in the hand of the Holy Spirit? Hebrews 4:12 and Psalm 19:7–9 address this question directly. From Hebrews 4:12, we learn that God ... Keep Reading
True Gratitude
from Karisa Schlehr Nov 26, 2009 Category: R.C. SproulOne of the grand traditions of America is our tradition of taking one day out of the year and setting it apart as a special holiday--a holy day--a day to commemorate the benevolent providence of God. It was originally called Thanksgiving. The idea of Thanksgiving day has its roots in our own history, in the bitter struggle that the original founding fathers of this country had with the elements. Keep Reading
The Gift of Knowledge
from Karisa Schlehr Nov 25, 2009 Category: Ligonier ResourcesThe Bible, philosophy, apologetics, and theology can be rather intimidating areas of study for most people. Yes, they are very important to learn but where do you even start? R.C. Sproul has produced what we refer to as Overview Series. In these four resources, he provides a thorough, yet easy to understand examination of each of these topics. Start knowing what you believe and why you believe it. Keep Reading
Tabletalk 2010: The First Six Months
from Chris Donato Nov 24, 2009 Category: Tabletalk MagazineFor more than thirty years, Tabletalk has existed as a magazine for the church. So it strives to help explain important, biblical doctrines and events that shape the church while encouraging people to reflect the image of Christ in both word and deed. We are proud to follow that same trajectory in 2010--dealing with issues that challenge, exhort, and encourage God's people. Keep Reading

Keep Reading
Social Darwinism
from Gene Edward Veith Nov 23, 2009 Category: Tabletalk MagazineCharles Darwin's theory of evolution was never just about biology. Nor were its consequences just about religion. Rather, the origins and effects of Darwinism were largely cultural and moral. Darwin's Origin of Species was published in 1859, which was at the height of the Industrial Revolution and the Capitalist Revolution. Keep Reading
Resting on the Promises
from R.C. Sproul Nov 22, 2009 Category: ArticlesIt seems astonishing to the layperson that anybody would go to the extremes René Descartes went to simply to discover that he existed. What could be more self-evident to a conscious being than one's own self-consciousness? Keep Reading

from R. Fowler White Nov 20, 2009 Category: ArticlesHow is it that we saints persevere in the faith? The grace of perseverance becomes ours as we receive and rest upon Christ alone as He is presented to us in the Word. Let us look in this study at the teaching of Heb 1.4-14. Keep Reading

Call Divert
Quick Overview
- Divert calls to any phone.
- Voicemail included if no answer.
- Choose your own greeting message.
- Can be combined with other services.
With the Callagenix Call Divert service you can forward calls instantly to any number so you can always be reached. If you don't want to or can't answer, the caller will be played a recorded message and directed to voicemail, which can then automatically be sent to your smartphone or email address.
Forward calls to your office, to mobile, or to your home phone. In fact, forward your calls to any number wherever you are. For example you could use it with an 0800 Freephone number for toll free forwarding, or with an overseas number for international call forwarding. With the Callagenix Call Divert service you decide where your calls should go!
How does it work?
If you've ever wondered how to divert calls from one of your phones to another, the Call Divert service is for you. It's a quick and easy way to use call divert to always get your calls, no matter where you are. You simply decide where you want your calls forwarded to and our system does the rest.
Click here to watch our Call Divert Tutorial video
You can easily change your Call Divert settings via your online control panel or by calling the service number, pressing hash and entering your PIN. There is also an API available for more advanced users. You can instantly change the destination number as often as you need to, giving you complete flexibility and control to forward calls – diverting calls has never been easier!
You can also set up a 'whisper message' to pre-announce where the call is coming from, so the person answering can choose whether to accept or reject it. For example, if you are working from home, the service can pre-announce when you have a work call so you can either accept it and answer, or use phone diversion to send it to voicemail. When used with your caller list, the 'whisper message' can also tell you who is on the other end of the line before you're connected.
Call Divert can be combined with any of our other advanced services and with multiple destination mailboxes to create a comprehensive and professional system to perfectly fit your needs.
You can use our online management system to specify every aspect of the service, giving you 24/7 control from any location.
Typical Uses
The Call Divert service can be used on its own or along with other services. For example:
- Make it simple for customers to reach you wherever you are by giving them a single number to call – just divert the calls to wherever you are.
- Use alongside other Callagenix services such as Time of Day, Answerphone, and Virtual Switchboard to create the ideal solution for your business.

Remember Whenby Jd Robb
A HEROIC BELCH OF THUNDER followed the strange little man into the shop. He glanced around apologetically, as if the rude noise were his responsibility rather than nature's, and fumbled a package under his arm so he could close a black-and-white-striped umbrella.
Both umbrella and man dripped, somewhat mournfully, onto the neat square of mat just inside the door while the cold spring rain battered the streets and sidewalks on the other side. He stood where he was, as if not entirely sure of his welcome.
Laine turned her head and sent him a smile that held only warmth and easy invitation. It was a look her friends would have called her polite shopkeeper's smile.
Well, damnit, she was a polite shopkeeper-and at the moment that label was being sorely tested.
If she'd known the rain would bring customers into the store instead of keeping them away, she wouldn't have given Jenny the day off. Not that she minded business. A woman didn't open a store if she didn't want customers, whatever the weather. And a woman didn't open one in Small Town, U.S.A., unless she understood she'd spend as much time chatting, listening and refereeing debates as she would ringing up sales.
And that was fine, Laine thought, that was good. But if Jenny had been at work instead of spending the day painting her toenails and watching soaps, Jenny would've been the one stuck with the Twins.
Darla Price Davis and Carla Price Gohen had their hair tinted the same ashy shade of blond. They wore identical slick blue raincoats and carried matching hobo bags. They finished each other's sentences and communicated in a kind of code that included a lot of twitching eyebrows, pursed lips, lifted shoulders and head bobs.
What might've been cute in eight-year-olds was just plain weird in forty-eight-year-old women.
Still, Laine reminded herself, they never came into Remember When without dropping a bundle. It might take them hours to drop it, but eventually the sales would ring. There was little that lifted Laine's heart as high as the ring of the cash register.
Today they were on the hunt for an engagement present for their niece, and the driving rain and booming thunder hadn't stopped them. Nor had it deterred the drenched young couple who-they'd said-had detoured into Angel's Gap on a whim on their way to D.C.
Or the wet little man with the striped umbrella who looked, to Laine's eye, a bit frantic and lost.
So she added a little more warmth to her smile. "I'll be with you in just a few minutes," she called out, and turned her attention back to the Twins.
"Why don't you look around a little more," Laine suggested. "Think it over. As soon as I-"
Darla's hand clamped on her wrist, and Laine knew she wasn't going to escape.
"We need to decide. Carrie's just about your age, sweetie. What would you want for your engagement gift?"
Laine didn't need to transcribe the code to understand it was a not-so-subtle dig. She was, after all, twenty-eight, and not married. Not engaged. Not, at the moment, even dating particularly. This, according to the Price twins, was a crime against nature.
"You know," Carla piped up, "Carrie met her Paul at Kawanian's spaghetti supper last fall. You really should socialize more, Laine."
"I really should," she agreed with a winning smile. If I want to hook up with a balding, divorced CPA with a sinus condition. "I know Carrie's going to love whatever you choose. But maybe an engagement gift from her aunts should be something more personal than the candlesticks. They're lovely, but the dresser set's so feminine." She picked up the silver-backed brush from the set they were considering. "I imagine another bride used this on her wedding night."
"More personal," Darla began. "More-"
"Girlie. Yes! We could get the candlesticks for-"
"A wedding gift. But maybe we should look at the jewelry before we buy the dresser set. Something with pearls? Something-"
"Old she could wear on her wedding day. Put the candlesticks and the dresser set aside, honey. We'll take a look at the jewelry before we decide anything."
The conversation bounced like a tennis ball served and volleyed out of two identical coral-slicked mouths. Laine congratulated herself on her skill and focus as she was able to keep up with who said what.
"Good idea." Laine lifted the gorgeous old Dresden candlesticks. No one could say the Twins didn't have taste, or were shy of heating up their plastic.
She started to carry them to the counter when the little man crossed her path.
She was eye to eye with him, and his were a pale, washed-out blue reddened by lack of sleep or alcohol or allergies. Laine decided on lost sleep as they were also dogged by heavy bags of fatigue. His hair was a grizzled mop gone mad with the rain. He wore a pricey Burberry topcoat and carried a three-dollar umbrella. She assumed he'd shaved hurriedly that morning as he'd missed a patch of stubbly gray along his jaw.
He said her name with a kind of urgency and intimacy that had her smile turning to polite confusion.
"Yes? I'm sorry, do I know you?"
"You don't remember me." His body seemed to droop. "It's been a long time, but I thought..."
"Miss!" the woman on her way to D.C. called out. "Do you ship?"
"Yes, we do." She could hear the Twins going through one of their shorthand debates over earrings and brooches, and sensed an impulse buy from the D.C. couple. And the little man stared at her with a hopeful intimacy that had her skin chilling.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little swamped this morning." She sidestepped to the counter to set down the candlesticks. Intimacy, she reminded herself, was part of the rhythm of small towns. The man had probably been in before, and she just couldn't place him. "Is there something specific I can help you with, or would you like to browse awhile?"
"I need your help. There isn't much time." He drew out a card, pressed it into her hand. "Call me at that number, as soon as you can."
"Mr...." She glanced down at the card, read his name. "Peterson, I don't understand. Are you looking to sell something?"
"No. No." His laugh bounced toward hysterical and had Laine grateful for the customers crowded into the store. "Not anymore. I'll explain everything, but not now." He looked around the shop. "Not here. I shouldn't have come here. Call the number."
He clamped a hand over hers in a way that had Laine fighting an instinct to jerk free. "Promise."
He smelled of rain and soap and...Brut, she realized. And the aftershave had some flicker of memory trying to light in her brain. Then his fingers tightened on hers. "Promise," he repeated in a harsh whisper, and she saw only an odd man in a wet coat.
"Of course."
She watched him go to the door, open the cheap umbrella. And let out a sigh of relief when he scurried out into the rain. Weird was her only thought, but she studied the card for a moment.
His name was printed, Jasper R. Peterson, but the phone number was handwritten beneath and underscored twice, she noted.
Pushing the card into her pocket, she started over to give the traveling couple a friendly nudge, when the sound of screeching brakes on wet pavement and shocked screams had her spinning around. There was a hideous noise, a hollow thud she'd never forget. Just as she'd never forget the sight of the strange little man in his fashionable coat slamming against her display window.
She bolted out the door, into the streaming rain. Footsteps pounded on the pavement, and somewhere close was the crunching sound of metal striking metal, glass shattering.
"Mr. Peterson." Laine gripped his hand, bowed her body over his in a pathetic attempt to shield his bloodied face from the rain. "Don't move. Call an ambulance!" she shouted and yanked off her jacket to cover him as best she could.
"Saw him. Saw him. Shouldn't have come. Laine."
"Help's coming."
"Left it for you. He wanted me to get it to you."
"It's all right." She scooped her dripping hair out of her eyes and took the umbrella someone offered. She angled it over him, leaned down closer as he tugged weakly on her hand.
"Be careful. I'm sorry. Be careful."
"I will. Of course I will. Just try to be quiet now, try to hold on, Mr. Peterson. Help's coming."
"You don't remember." Blood trickled out of his mouth as he smiled. "Little Lainie." He took a shuddering breath, coughed up blood. She heard the sirens as he began to sing in a thin, gasping voice.
"Pack up all my care and woe," he crooned, then wheezed. "Bye, bye, blackbird."
She stared at his battered face as her already chilled skin began to prickle. Memories, so long locked away, opened. "Uncle Willy? Oh my God."
"Used to like that one. Screwed up," he said breathlessly. "Sorry. Thought it'd be safe. Shouldn't've come."
"I don't understand." Tears burned her throat, streamed down her cheeks. He was dying. He was dying because she hadn't known him, and she'd sent him out into the rain. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"He knows where you are now." His eyes rolled back. "Hide the pooch."
"What?" She leaned closer yet until her lips almost brushed his. "What?" But the hand she had clutched in hers went limp.
Paramedics brushed her aside. She heard their short, pithy dialogue-medical codes she'd grown accustomed to hearing on television, could almost recite herself. But this was real. The blood washing away in the rain was real.
She heard a woman sobbing and saying over and over in a strident voice, "He ran right in front of me. I couldn't stop in time. He just ran in front of the car. Is he all right? Is he all right? Is he all right?"
No, Laine wanted to say. He's not.
"Come inside, honey." Darla put an arm around Laine's shoulders, drew her back. "You're soaked. You can't do anything more out here."
"I should do something." She stared down at the broken umbrella, its cheerful stripes marked with grime now, and drops of blood.
She should have settled him down in front of the fire. Given him a hot drink and let him warm and dry himself in front of the little hearth. Then he'd be alive. Telling her stories and silly jokes.
But she hadn't recognized him, and so he was dying.
She couldn't go in, out of the rain, and leave him alone with strangers. But there was nothing to be done but watch, helplessly, while the paramedics fought and failed to save the man who'd once laughed at her knock-knock jokes and sung silly songs. He died in front of the shop she'd worked so hard to build, and laid at her door all the memories she thought she'd escaped.

When I'm not working or studying, I love going to the gym, cross-fit, being outdoors, scrapping, making art, hanging out with friends or taking a spontaneous trip somewhere beautiful. Recently earned my Open Water Scuba Diving certification and looking forward to exploring the underwater world! I enjoy looking at art and do oil painting myself as a hobby. Although I haven't being doing it lately, I think it's time to pick it up again. I often paint landscapes and always give them away as presents. Nothing better than giving a friend something really significant, something you made with your own hands. I'm a very goofy funny gal and yet serious about achieving personal goals. When you get the chance to know me, you'll see that I'm really exited about life, I'm passionate by nature. I'm really easy-going and easy to talk to. I'm looking for someone who is a good listener and great communicator. It is really important to have those qualities in my match. I'm looking for someone who is passionate about life, and someone who knows what they want in life.
