As Schiller understood in his Letters On the Aesthetic Education of Man, man is a creature in whom the "accidents" are truly essential; it is essentially wrong to make an abstract and absolute divorce of essence and accidents in the case of human beings. The business of man, as Hegel phrased it, is to live as a "concrete universal," a living concept who is constantly taking up the particles of life into his organismic wholeness, giving an encompassing meaning to the crazed details of our Babel of objectivity. That we participate in the power or action or genius of the infinite is demonstrated by our constant mediation between phenomena and principles, particulars and universal laws, finite and infinite. We transfigure all that is inert and opaque with the radiance of an ever-living sense of essentiality, of a "concentricity" that is and is-not our own selves.
Kenneth Smith
Contributed by: Dave
Nothing in the matter-of-fact or finite order of experience is directly or obviously grounded in actual authoritative principles; phenomena do not permit us to see through them to their infinite preconditions, and certainly not even to comprehend or conceptualize what kinds of things those preconditions may be. It is only through holistic and variably stressed principles that we can see the formation or architectonics of finite realities, in accordance with those lawful and ordering forces. There is no empirical path to principles, no psychological route to values or ultimate duties or essential character: hundreds of millions of human beings may despair of not having "salvation" who do not and cannot ever comprehend what the issue even is, i.e. the onslaught of the finite order that threatens to make our ambiguously finite/infinite spirit into just another finite particle within the finite world. We have to be always carrying out our self-education dialectically, with one eye on each domain, the finite and the infinite, each of which demands its own peculiar modus of intelligence and insight from us.
It has to be understood that, even though the infinite or intrinsic or essential must be grasped in an "exclusionary" way (cleft apart or distinguished from the finite or extrinsic or accidental), ultimately the two domains belong together as a whole: it is only for the propadeutic purpose of self-clarification or enlightenment that the infinite must be grasped in its relative purity from the finite, a relation of opposition that may mistakenly make the infinite look as finite (oppositional, exclusionary) as the finite (since it is of the essence of the finite to stand in a relation of repellency to its other). The finite excludes everything other, but the infinite HAS no "other." The essential trait of the infinite is its INCLUSIVENESS, its power to embrace all particulars within an organismic whole.
The way of the Buddha involves a metaphysical stoicism, a way of overcoming the power that worldliness has over oneself: the world rules us through our suffering no less than through our desires and appetites and hopes; all of this is Maya, the universe of delusorily desirable and despicable goods. The primal insight of Buddha is not that the suffering of the world must first be mitigated but rather that we must learn to recognize that our DESIRES are no less a form of SUFFERING than are our AILMENTS. This is what qualifies Buddhism as an authentic form of spirituality, its transcendence over the finite and merely psychological domain.
In order to understand what is truly essential in another person that ought to be loved in him or her, one has to be able to dismiss authoritatively and wisely all that that person himself or herself in delusion IMAGINES to be essential to him or her. As rare as any form of sobriety may be in politics or society, it is of course rarest of all in love-relations. "Love" that has no such counterforce against the delusions of Self and World will merely get drawn into the pathos of the unenlightened, by retail methods if not by wholesale. Sharing in others' pathos is not at all the same thing as love; it is merely one finite and obtuse psyche getting digested into the churning life of another finite and obtuse psyche.
Hegel understood the Heisenbergian reality of knowing: yes, it would be nice if we could somehow delicately capture the truth and bring it closer to ourselves without altering it, "like a bird caught with a limestick." But the reality is, every truth we manage to know is altered, deformed by our very "encheiresis naturae," by the act of our taking-in-hand of nature (to borrow the alchemists' phrase from Goethe's Faust).
The truth about human beings is, above all other forms of truth, something far too susceptible to our own willful and subjectivist distortions; by nature we never JUST LET SUCH A THING BE, or accept it as it is. Of all the decisive and strategic things that an intelligent human being needs to know about human beings, primary on the list would be this: human beings are overwhelmingly profoundly RESISTANT to knowing the truth about human nature. The one creature in all of organic nature that is capable of KNOWING its own nature is also, paradigmatic over all other creatures, the one most IN DENIAL about that nature. To ask of mortals that they should "know themselves" is little more than a cruel joke, japing at their crippled mentality and personality. Their grasp of this structural perversity or contrariety within human nature is the basis of all Greek wisdom, their aristic "misanthropy" or principled and profound distrust of human beings as pseudophiliacs. All that human beings are willing to call "truth" (for the most part) is some saccharine or cosmetic sweetness and light, some soporific opiate against all in human existence that might demand the utmost self-discipline, rationality, self-mastery, or spirituality from them.
The demand for sympathy is a major form of rhetorical ploy, freighted with massive ulterior motives: it is a way of shaming higher minds into not daring to characterize or recognize the actual nature of the most pathetic ("lowest," "basest" or "most ignoble") personalities among us; it is a way also of shaming aristoi about their very characterological imperative of being or becoming aristoi, of having the audacity to differ so profoundly from the ordinary self-expectations of humans in general. Sympathy for the most intellectually or rationally pathetic -- a kind of "blind shame" analogous to blind faith -- has become a premier weapon in the psychological class-warfare between one psyche-type and another.
Through the experience of others' great and contagious self-pity, those who have insights and perspectives that ought to fit them for positions of authority and decisiveness are reduced, demoted to positions of ideological subjection, of a crippling susceptibility of being over-considerate of others: this inversion of power-relations that makes the rational and magisterial mind subordinate to the irrational and pathetic is substantively the same as the (distinctively modern) ideological or caste-attitude of "resentment," the peculiar "contempt" that inferior minds have for superior ones. Modernity by these two dynamics alone would already be locked into a trajectory of kakistocracy, systematic rule or domination by the worst forms of personality and mentality: the elevation of the vilest and most self-obtuse to positions of mastery over others.
Source: philosophy, resentment, contempt, modernity, kakistocracy, subjection, self-pity
On all vital existential questions, human beings have biases more deepset than they can begin to comprehend. The task of philosophers is not to work up fanciful idealistic rhetoric designed to appeal to hypothetical disinterested-bourgeois bipeds, but to get to know what the actual or extant preconceptions and worldviews of human beings really are, and WHY they ultimately are such as they are. It may be interesting ad hominem how and why humans might happen to presume themselves to be impartial listeners. But the truly challenging question is Nietzsche's: just how the hell did such a species ever imagine that it might want to know what "the truth" is, in the first place? Why would we presume ourselves to be at all INTERESTED in "the truth"?

Review from Guns.com Website:
"While the DP-12 seems complicated at first glance it may well be the most well-built and reliable shotgun on the market".
The Blue Book of Gun Values Review:
Standard Mfg. Co. LLC DP-12
Merging the best attributes of both a pump and double barrel shotgun, the innovative new DP-12 challenges the conventional action of both pumps and doubles. One slide of the action allows for two trigger pulls, unlike its competition, the UTS-15 and KSG, which require a slide of the action after each trigger pull.
We liked not only this gun's innovative action, but also its quality. Plus, it's made by a well-known manufacturer of premium double barrels shotguns. This new Standard Mfg. Co. LLC DP-12 is quite a departure from what they're known for, and we're excited to see this model hit the market.
What's New
* Watch for the DP-12 being featured on upcoming movies and TV shows.
* We are adding many new DP-12 accessories

i'd like to display an image depending on which element of the menu is cliked or mouse-over.
Having a different id for each element of the menu would be handy in order to handle li elements with JQuery.
how could i wrap each element of the menu with an id corresponding to its title ? Any alternatives to make this working?
so far my function call is as such :
if ( function_exists('has_nav_menu') && has_nav_menu('red sea') )
wp_nav_menu( array(
'depth' => 4,
'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
'container' => 'ul',
'menu_id' => 'nav',
'menu_class' => 'fr',
'theme_location' => 'pages mer rouge',
'items_wrap' => '
%3$s
' ) );
i don't know what that %1$s or %2$s means ?

From Rap's Rhythms, a Retooling of Poetry
By MICHEL MARRIOTT
Published: September 29, 1996
Even before the slaying of Tupac Shakur this month, the generation inspired by rap had started an intense self-appraisal. Its soul-searching has led it, increasingly, to rap's precursor, street poetry, and has given rise to the ''spoken word'' movement, which has been quietly evolving for several years in clubs, cafes and workshops.
Under the spoken-word banner, young men and women have been retooling the use of the rhymes and rhythms that are the foundation of rap, discarding its violent imagery, drugs, misogyny and recording-studio gimmickry. And when these new poets use musical backgrounds, they are only backgrounds; they do not dominate the words, as in rap.
A slew of poets, including some older veterans, are pounding out gritty yet sophisticated meditations that examine issues of passion, pain and poverty. Their heroes are less likely to include the likes of Shakur and his fellow rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, than literary figures like Langston Hughes, Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Gil Scott-Heron, and the Last Poets, the Harlem-based group of poet-revolutionaries who first burst into popularity in the early 1970's and are now considered the village elders of rap and a living bridge to the new poetry.
''More people than ever are slowly but surely turning their ears toward poetry,'' said Saul Williams, a 24-year-old poet and a rising star of this world called spoken word. Mr. Williams, of Brooklyn, has performed in clubs and on college campuses in New York before young, predominantly black standing-room-only crowds that cheer at the mere mention of his first name.
Mr. Williams recently opened his ''Untimely Meditations'' with this:
The fiery sun of my passions
evaporates the love lakes of my soul
clouds my thoughts
and rains you into existence.
Such wordplay and Mr. Williams's cascading delivery and cosmic references -- without music -- are commonly found in the new poetry.
Poetry is a medium that has historically been part of urban America, but many of today's street poets believe that their success may well be rooted as firmly in the millions of words that rap has showered on its listeners, part of the hip-hop culture.
Since the days when rap was considered a fad and many people could not imagine rhyming chants with urban messages taking hold as a musical form, it has done just that. In 1992, industry executives estimated rap's annual sales at $400 million. Now Death Row, a record label created that year, is said to have had sales of more than $100 million alone.
Audiences are already conditioned to accept spoken-word performers because the new medium deviates from rap not so much in form as in content and attitude. Undeniably, the same show-business vein that marked rap runs through many spoken-word performances. Charismatic figures command audiences not only with their words but with their style: whirling dreadlocks, Afrocentric clothing and voices that rise, fall and crash in jazzy zigzags reminiscent of the saxophone of John Coltrane.
But at the core of contemporary urban poetry, especially when it describes the travails of struggling, impoverished Americans, is an attempt to illuminate possible solutions, its proponents say. Just as in rap, there is anger, and sometimes alienation, but the poems are practically always delivered with an underlying optimism.
''We have gats and 40's in our poetry,'' said Jessica Care Moore, a 24-year-old native of Detroit who joined the New York poetry scene in 1994, using rap slang for guns and 40-ounce containers of malt liquor. ''But we also talk about ways to get around them. We just don't celebrate it.''
T'Kalla, a 28-year-old Brooklyn-based poet who was part of a hip-hop and poetry performance tour through Europe with the Vibe Khameleons, said: ''A few years ago there was a lot of black rage: 'Kill whitey,' 'The sister did me wrong.' But people are trying to get up and around all of that. We're just not going to wallow in what we think people have done wrong to us. We're trying to build a new home, instead of ranting somewhere.''
Mr. Baraka, a leading black poet who emerged in the 1960's, as well as a scholar and civil rights activist, said, ''In the 60's, we wanted poetry that was African-American in form and content, that was revolutionary, that was a continuation of the great works of the great black writers.''
He said he was gratified to see that the new poets were ''taking poetry out of the classrooms.''
Mr. Baraka, who regularly invites poets, playwrights and musicians to share their work in his home theater in Newark, called poetry ''the lifeline to the human heart.'' The new poets, including his 26-year-old son, Ras, help convince him that he did not waste his time, ''that I wasn't paddling my feet in the pool.''
Reg. E. Gaines, a pioneering artist of the new poetry who was a co-writer of the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit ''Bring In da Noise, Bring In da Funk,'' is finishing a documentary film called ''Underground Voices'' on the emerging poetry scene.
''People generally equate somebody running their mouth to bull, rhetoric, trash,'' said Mr. Gaines, who is in his 30's but refuses to give his age. ''Now you've got this spoken-word poetry, or whatever you want to call it, and you can go somewhere and be moved by something somebody has said.''

14 reviews | 4.5 out of 5
I originally purchased a cheap Tasco trail camera. Set it in the woods for 3 weeks and got 2 pictures of absolutely nothing. I returned it and purchased this camera. Put it in the same spot for 6 days and came back with 183 pictures and all but 6 had deer in them. The other 6 had squirrels or dogs. The pictures are fantastic quality. Couldn't have asked for better performance. Also, still had 98% battery left after one week too. The daytime pictures are awesome and I only used the 4 megapixel setting. Can't imagine how good the 8 megapixel setting would be. The night time images were great too. I would definitely buy this camera again. I've uploaded actual pictures from week 1 below. The actual quality is much much bigger and better than what's shown in this review. Can't wait to see what I have in week 2!
game cameras come a dime a dozen, the one thing that sticks out about all the different cameras we have bought and used is (THEY DONT LAST PAST ONE SEASON) ! we have bought and used 5 different brands of cameras (NONE) of which we would buy again. we are now using the Moultrie D-444 (NO COMPLAINTS SO FAR) ! BUT! its on its 1st season! when we find one that actually holds up to game scouting we will stay with it! the D-444 however (DOES NOT) have no way to check battery power, this is not a bad thing because batteries are expensive, just let them run down.
This is a decent trail cam. I bought a D-333 and put it out.In a week I had 2,000 triggers all of which were pictures of nothing and about 100 night pictures that worked okay. Way too many false triggers in the daytime.I bought a D-444 and mounted it below the D-333 for comparison.The D-444 only triggered for live game in the day.Only a few false triggers during the day and many good game photos at night. I'm pleased with the D-444 and the D-333 goes back.
This game camera takes great pics, videos, and time lapses. All the bells and whistles at a great price. We've seen a buck and his does, raccoons in our chicken coop, opossums, squirrels and more.
Very satisfied so far. Only had it about a week. The camera has fairly good night range, takes nice photos and fairly good video. The daytime pictures are good, and the daytime range is outstanding. The programming is easy. Overall, the camera is very nice for the money. I'm very satisfied so far.
I have 2 of these now. Both work very well night and day. Bought a 900 series Moultrie that did not work at night. Walmart happily returned my money at the local store. Very satisfied at this point with their service.
grate unit, operating instructions are lacking.
It is my first camera. I got it to monitor my driveway. It was very easy to set up, and operate. It takes good video clips; but individual photos are sometimes very blurred. Overall a good buy.
Everything worked real good and fairly easy to set up. I wished it would take color pictures at night. But for the price it's a real good camera.
easy to operate, quick to receive in shipment
Very pleased with it !
Great camera....
Really like it

Rand Weakens as Dollar Gains, Gold Retreats From One Month High
South Africa's rand weakened for the first times in five days, reversing earlier gains, as the price of gold retreated and investors speculated importers were purchasing dollars at cheaper levels.
The currency of Africa's biggest economy drifted between gains and losses before trading 0.7 percent weaker at 6.9216 per dollar by 4:22 p.m. in Johannesburg, from a previous close of 6.8760. Earlier the currency strengthened as much as 0.5 percent, the strongest since Nov. 10, before slipping as much as 1 percent to 6.9421.
Gold, which typically moves inversely to the U.S. currency, retreated from a one-month high of $1,418.80 an ounce as the dollar strengthened on comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke that the U.S. is unlikely to return to recession.
"We're just seeing a short-term pullback in the rand because of the rebound in the dollar and the fact that the gold price is coming off its recent highs," Ian Cruickshanks, head of research at Nedbank Treasury in Johannesburg, said by telephone. "There's also a lot of dollar buying by importers after the rand's recent good run."
South Africa's currency rallied earlier today as prospects for further liquidity injections by policy makers in the U.S. and Euro zone boosted prospects of inflows into emerging markets. The rand has surged 37 percent since the start of last year as near-zero interest rates in developed nations encouraged investors to borrow cheaply and invest in higher-yield markets like South Africa, where the benchmark rate is 5.5 percent.
'Attractive Destination'
Interest rates in South Africa compare with deposit returns of 0.1 percent in Japan and 0.25 percent in the U.S.
"The yield differential still makes South Africa an attractive destination," said Cruickshanks. "Rates in the developed world are going to stay lower for longer and over time that will benefit alternative asset classes like the rand."
Fed Chairman Bernanke said yesterday that the Fed may expand bond purchases beyond the $600 billion announced last month to spur growth, according to an interview broadcast by CBS Corp.'s "60 Minutes" program. Belgian Finance Minister Didier Reynders also said at the weekend that the European Union's 750 billion-euro ($1 trillion) bailout fund could be increased.
"Policy makers from U.S., euro-zone, Japan and U.K. are likely to keep monetary policy accommodative for longer as they look to support economic growth," Quinten Bertenshaw, a Johannesburg-based currency analyst at Tradition Analytics, wrote in a client note today. "All this liquidity creation will keep the demand for yield intact. This stands to benefit South Africa and further inflows into equities and bonds are likely to be seen in the months ahead, which bodes well for the rand."
Government bonds fell in South Africa, reversing earlier gains, with the benchmark 13.5 percent security due September 2015 dropping 6 cents to 124.37 rand. The yield on the bond increased 1 basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 7.35 percent.

I liked that the parking was right across from the front door and well lit.

Hotel is close to the university and some cities University areas are a little risky looking. NOT the case here! This was in a very quaint neighborhood, quiet...and clean. There wasn't a nice view from my particular window but it was ok because I simply loved the room. The map says its about 30 miles from beach-seems we got to the beach fairly quickly that night...so if one wanted to stay away from beach area noise/traffic this is a good option. The next morning as we were leaving to book into a hotel closer to the beach - I saw some cute stores around the corner-like a smoothie place~! And I LOVE smoothies. I would definitely stay here again and walk around the area. I did not feel threatened I was quite comfortable. Parking in their lot was reasonable too; only $5 a night. ...

This is our hotel of choice when visiting Norfolk, mostly because it is close to where our son lives. But the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is pleasant and all in all it's a very nice place to stay. Not luxury, but that's not how it's rated anyway. There is a bar/restaurant that serves the usual bar fare, and it is right next to Old Dominion University - a huge convenience for those visiting students. ...

Hotel a little older but well maintained. Right on the edge of campus, so lots of close walking spaces and felt safer than in town.

Location is excellent. Booking on Priceline makes a lot of sense because the price includes breakfast and parking. Rooms are clean and staff is fantastic.

Apocalypse: Dawn of the Dead
Alright, so because I'm revamping this story to maximum awesomeness, I thought I should include a new author's note. I'll be editing these at some point, but here's what you need to know
This story began as a collaboration between me and my best friends, all huddled around a computer during band camp. Each of us, me and my friends, are put directly into this story with nothing changed. Names, personality, everything. This story was also started a year before Black Ops II was released, hence another reason why edits are necessary. I simply didn't have the information I do now.
This story at first was something we just did because we were bored. I originally just took suggestions from my friends and put pretty much anything they said into the story, which I didn't take seriously when I began it.
When the Marching Season ended and I was left with the reins of the story, I took it in a new direction, building off of the foundations of what me and my friends have started. I decided sometime into the story…that I wanted something that could build off of such an interesting storyline and make it even better. I wanted it to be serious. I wanted it to be griping, exciting, dark, and memorable.
But most of all…
Now that we have that out of the way, I hope you enjoy my first major story on this site. It may start off a tad slow, but it picks up for sure.
Here it is.
Chapter 1: Apocalypse
"Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success"- Henry Ford
Location: Bradburn County Florida
Time: About 10:00 P.M.
It was the night of the last football game of the season for the Bradburn High School Marching Panthers, and it was one no one would ever forget. It was the night where everything would change. Where innocence would be lost, and the nightmare would begin.
There was two minutes left in the 4th Quarter, and the score was 76-14, and it looked like the football team was losing yet again. The crowd was raving and cheering, or at least the Away team was. As for the Panthers, it was more of a "please let this end so we can go already" sort of attitude. The band watched on, eyeing the football team with distaste and silently thinking that the cheerleaders could probably play better than the football team was doing now.
One trumpet player in the Bradburn High School Marching Band, Nicholas, let out a sigh. He was a pale teenager of medium height of about 5 '10', with short blond hair and glasses that covered his green eyes.
"I think this settles it. Our football team will not be winning this game. Just like last year…and the year before…and the year before." Nicholas said in an annoyed tone.
"Our team sucks" a baritone player named Liam said with a scowl. Liam stood a few inches taller than Nicholas and had a mess of black hair on his head and had a great deal of freckles on his face. He had a more muscular build than Nicholas, but was still fairly skinny.
"Not really, they're good. It's just that some teams get lucky, or are just better." Nicholas reasoned.
"I can see that." Liam said with a laugh.
Nicholas started laughing too and said "At least the band is good, that's all that really matters."
"So true." a trumpet player named Judith said walking up to the two teens. Judith was shorter than Nicholas by a good few inches, with dark-skin and short dark hair. She grabbed Liam's hand and rested her head on his shoulders. Liam looked at his girlfriend with an affectionate smile.
The group watched as the other team got the ball. The player with the ball dashed through all of the Bradburn Football players and scored yet another touchdown with two seconds left on the clock, as though to prolong their agony. The band members all groaned as one, unaware of what horrors lay in wait for them.
Location: Unknown
"Ah…finally, after all zhis time…I can finally begin" a man spoke with a smile as he walked through his lab.
The man stood at the top of a flight of stairs, looking down at the complicated machines with a grin. Attached to the machines was a series of rocks that glowed red and blue, giving off a wicked aura.
Element 115.
Ununpentium…the scared element capable of raising the dead.
Five hundred corpses were on dissection tables, ready-made Zombies awaiting the element's powers. For over fifty years, he had lived in the shadows, gathering his resources and the keys to revenge. He had spent all this time, slowly gathering his strength and power. This would be necessary to enact his grand plan. A scheme of sorts that would change the world forever.
The world would bow at his feet as waves of the damned destroyed all who opposed him. He would create a new world with his powers, and God help those who stood in his way.
"It…is…TIME!" the man yelled triumphantly as he walked over to a panel and threw a switch, causing each of the containers holding the meteorite to shudder and vibrate as their energy began to resonate with the area around them.
A greenish energy filled the cavern, coming from the powerful rocks, and the man's laughs intensified. Each of the corpses on the tables began to shake and rattle. Then, with jolt, each slowly began to sit up. The man's blue eyes suddenly shone with an incredible light, the same color as the Zombies eyes, and as a green aura flickered into existence behind him, he began to laugh manically. The Zombies broke through the door to the underground compound and made their way to the surface.
The man then turned to five men standing behind him, observing the proceedings with interest.
"You know what to do..." the man said in a low tone. The five men bowed to the man with the glowing blue eyes before vanishing on the spot in multicolored balls of fire. The man turned back around and said "Now…to draw those who wish to stop me out…and snuff out their hope once and for all…"
Bradburn High School Football field:
"Hey, do you guys feel that?" Nicholas said as the ground shook slightly.
"It was probably Chuck Norris breathing." a short brown-haired bowl-cut boy named Nick said enthusiastically. He had a wide grin on his face and a cheerful attitude that usually couldn't be stopped, even with a kick to the nuts.
"Really? Another Chuck Norris fact?" Liam said in an annoyed tone. Judith shook her head and another student walked up to them.
"Hey Andrew, what's up?" Nicholas asked his friend, who had walked from the other side of the "Band Zone" to them.
"Guys, there's something serious going on underground, this doesn't…feel right to me" Andrew said to his friends with a frown on his face. Andrew had very short, peach colored hair and stood at about Nicholas's height. He had a muscular sort of build, and could probably beat most of the band members in a fight if he wanted to…he was also a massive flirt with the ladies.
"I wonder if it's an earthquake" Liam said as the ground shook some more, causing them to stumble a bit more.
There was a sudden tremor, the largest one yet, and the crowd screamed in response. There was a low, moaning sound that could be heard in the distance. The coaches were looking at the disturbance while the teams continued to play.
Nicholas's eye caught something emerging from the nearby woods, and after a moment he nudged Liam and said "Hey…take a look at that"
The other teen turned around and saw a group people stumbling out of the woods, looking disheveled and covered in blood and dirt. Their clothing was in tatters, and some of them looked as though they had been dead for weeks. They stumbled toward the field, drawing the attention of the fans and the officials.
"Oh wow, look at that, they're dresses like Zombies" Liam said in an offhanded way. Nick blinked and said "Kind of a weird time to do a prank, I mean the game's almost over"
One of the figure then let out a loud yell that quickly turned into a scream, and Nicholas gasped in surprise. Liam flinched and said "OK…déjà vu…that's a really weird scream…"
"That kind of scream ring any bells to anyone?" Nicholas muttered, getting a bad feeling about the figures stumbling towards the field.
"You mean the fact they've got glowing blue eyes, decomposing bodies, and are screaming like the Zombies from the Call of Duty games, then yes. Bells are ringing like a mofo in my mind, man" Liam replied with an uneasy smile.
"Wait…Zombies?" Judith said in surprise, looking at the two teens. Nick and Judith exchanged a confused glance before Nicholas paled in horror.
"Zombies! Get the hell out of here!" Nicholas yelled as he grabbed brass trumpet and began running towards the buses, followed by Judith, Andrew, Liam, and Nick, who realized what was happening.
The rest of the band stood there, looking at them like they were crazy.
"Zombies? What are you guys, high?" a clarinet player smirked.
"It's some sort of prank from the other team, don't be stupid" another one laughed. The rest of the band followed this logic, as did most of the crowd, but Nicholas began to flash back to the sounds they were making. The low groans and the feral yells, along with the glowing eyes were all too familiar too him.
"Guys, they're not kidding!" A tuba player named Joe said beginning to run with the others, followed by a trombone player named John.
Joe was tall and had brown hair, and had a good natured face and the eyes of someone you could trust, though he was a bit immature. John was about medium height and had light brown hair with a large nose and a rather pimply face. He was a rather smart teen, though he had a knack for complaining when things didn't go his way.
The group ran as fast as they could, the chill of the night upon them, leaving the crowd and the band behind. They could hear the Zombies moans from afar, and they could now hear the screams of the crowd as they realized the truth, though it was too late for them. A green light filled the stadium, causing most of the people to go unconscious from the strange energy flowing through them.
That left them to the mercy of the ravenous Zombies. Easy prey to be turned and new Zombies to be created. A few zombies were roaming the street, surrounding someone from the group that had run.
"And so…it begins again…" a cold cruel voice said with a small laugh, vanishing as quickly as it had appeared.
"Hey, where'd Nick go?" Nicholas asked with a pant as he ran into the road, noticing the Chuck Norris obsessed teen had disappeared.
"He's a goner, just go!" Judith said with a nervous look as she glanced behind her, eyeing the growing horde of undead behind them with apprehension. A lone figure was surrounded by fifteen of them, and suddenly yelled out "YEAH!". Several Zombies crumpled to the ground as their assailant took them down with an unknown weapon.
"Dang, whoever's killing those Zombies must be a complete boss." Andrew said, grinning at the sight of the undead falling to the ground.
Suddenly a flash of brass came up from the horde as a baritone smashed into a Zombies skull, killing it. (Yes, I know Zombies are dead, so you can't KILL them, but for the sake of convenience, I'm saying kill. Deal with it.) Nick came out of the horde, a pile of Zombies lying dead next to him. He jumped up on the pile and yelled out triumphantly "WOLVERINE!"
"Come on Shorty!" Joe said grabbing Nick by the collar and making him run back towards the buses, which were abandoned in the parking lot.
"Should we go back for the others?!" Joe said joining the group.
"No time Joe! They're close behind." Nicholas said as they got to the buses, where they beheld a scene of horror.
A group of Zombies stood in the group's way, blocking their escape, though they seemed a bit disoriented, as though trying to get their bearings. Andrew pulled out a switchblade from his shoe and said "I knew there was a reason I brought this"
Andrew ran at the closest Zombie and stabbed it savagely in the head and then yanked the knife free, sending up a spray of blood. He then kicked it in the chest as hard as he could, sending it crashing onto the ground with a groan.
The others ran forward, using the very instruments they used to entertain people at football games to protect themselves from the undead charging at them. Nicholas bashed a woman over the head with his trumpet and then delivered a powerful strike to the back of her skull, caving it in with the brass instrument and killing the Zombie instantly.
Judith and Liam were able to overcome three Zombies coming at them through teamwork, with Judith distracting and warding off each of the Zombies with her trumpet and then having Liam go in for the kill with his baritone, crushing the Zombie's skulls one by one while they were distracted. Joe managed to find an old pipe lying around and was using that to fend off a Zombie that was going towards him. John then ran up from behind and bashed it in the head with his trombone, killing the Zombie that was giving Joe trouble.
"Now you owe me" John said with a smirk.
"I'll never owe you" Joe replied with a frown.
"Oh? Well guess what?"
"What?" Joe asked, albeit in an exasperated tone
"You just lost the game" John said with a grin as he walked away from the now very annoyed Joe.
The group finally made it to the bus, but they could see through the window that the bus driver was gone, having probably fled. "You think he left the keys in the car or something?" Joe asked in a dubious tone.
"Probably not" Liam replied as he snatched the pipe from Joe's hands and began to bash open the doors to the bus, getting them open after a few moments.
The group carefully stepped onto the empty bus and Nick looked out the back window and let out a groan of despair. The Zombies were coming towards them now, and in much greater numbers than before. New Zombies had joined their ranks, innocent spectators from the crowd. Maybe their own band members and friends were among the undead…
"Can anyone hotwire a bus?" Nicholas asked his friends, sounding a bit doubtful with the answer he was expecting to get. If this didn't work, they'd have to run for it.
"Whose idea was this again?" John asked in an irritated tone, having just gone along with the flow and realizing that they didn't really even have a plan at this point.
"Yeah, give me a sec." Liam said, hoping into the driver's seat a few moments later. Nicholas starred at the black-haired teen in complete disbelief before Judith said "Hey, don't complain. You have a problem with it, you can walk"
"Hurry up man! Go ask fast as-" Nick began to say to Liam before he cut him off.
"Don't say it! I swear to God if you say Chuck Norris, Nick, I will throw you out of this bus and feed your ass to the Zombies." Liam said angrily as he worked frantically.
"OK…" Nick said sadly, looking crestfallen.
"Harsh, but necessary." Nicholas chuckled, a bit of relief in his tone.
"Less joking when we're not about to be torn apart by a Zombie horde." John said sitting down.
Suddenly, a decayed hand burst through the window and grabbed John by the throat, a scream erupting from the undead creature's throat as its electric blue eyes shone through the dark.
"John!" Judith screamed as John's skull slammed against the bus wall. Suddenly an object burst through the window and slammed into the Zombie's skull, causing it let go and fall onto the street below. John scrambled away from the window, panting heavily and looking up at Nicholas and his bloodstained trumpet.
"Thanks." John said breathlessly.
"No prob. Liam, how much longer?" Nicholas asked the black haired teen, who smirked.
"About twenty seconds." Liam said, obviously grinning from excitement and taking this much better than Judith and John, who both looked very worried.
Come on, hurry up!" Joe said angrily, grabbing an abandoned flute on the bus and jamming it into a Zombie's skull with a yell. The Zombie fell backwards and onto its brethren, who were surrounding the bus.
"Come on Liam, we won't last much longer!" Nicholas said bashing a Zombie in the head with his trumpet and knocking it down from the side of the bus. The undead were swarming around them now, dozens of Zombies screaming and clawing at the bus.
"And…done!" Liam said as the bus roared to life. Liam slammed on the accelerator and everyone was thrown backwards, including the Zombies who went flying into the street. The bus sped out of the school's parking lot and everyone got to their feet. Nicholas sat down at the front and said "Liam you get an F in efficiency, but I give you an A plus in dramatic timing."
"Thanks, I try." Liam said with a grin, turning the corner.
"OK guys, the school is gone, and we have no idea how many survived that attack. We're on our own. Options?" Nicholas asked the others. The group had a small moment of silence, contemplating what they could do next.
"We can keep driving, maybe find help." John suggested in a low voice, earning a nod of agreement from Nick and Judith.
"Maybe…but we don't know who is alive at this point, John. The Zombies could have taken over all of Bradburn County by now. No one would be ready to fight Zombies or any kind of threat at this hour…they're goners already… " Nicholas said in a soft and bitter tone, causing everyone to realize just how serious this was now. "I think we should stock up on supplies and weapons. We got really lucky just now…We might get lucky again…The only problem is…where could we go?" Nicholas asked.
The group thought hard as Liam turned another corner. And then it came to them. A place where one could get anything they needed, and was a great place to get stuff for a Zombie apocalypse or any other sort of emergency, and all for a low price…
"Wal-Mart!" everyone said at once except John, who scowled and said "And you guys actually think there's going to be supplies there for us to take?"
"If you've got a better plan, by all means, speak up now John" Joe said in a mocking tone.
"Yeah, we're all ears" Nick added.
"Thought so" Joe said as he plopped down on an empty seat.
And with that the bus turned another corner and the group headed for Wal-Mart, unaware that on the roof of the bus, they had an unwelcome visitor.
"So…you really think they're the ones?" the figure muttered to himself in a low voice. The figure spoke again, in a ethereal tone "Yes…they're the ones who can do it. We have to follow them…help them stay safe…"
"Until when?" the figure asked the voice within him.
"Until it's time for the truth to be revealed…until then…we remain in the shadows"the voice said to the figure, who nodded and held on tighter to the roof of the bus. The bus sped through the streets, trying to outrun the undead no doubt chasing them down…
A lone man standing on an empty sidewalk watched the bus speed by him and noticed the figure riding atop the bus, chuckling a little at the sight. As he looked up at the full moon looming in the sky, the man's chuckle became a dark laugh that echoed in the sky air. The man's laughter subsided a few moments later as he looked back down the street, the bus now gone.
"Run all you want, children…in the end, he'll find you…he'll stop at nothing until this world is burned to ash…" the man said with a twisted smile before he vanished in a flash of green light.
End of Chapter:
This is yet another edit-in progress, hopefully this version is better than what I had before.
Make sure to review and show your support. This may start out slow, but like all stories on this site, they pick up later on.
Until next time, FlygonNick out!

i run a site, which has the "simplegrid" responsive theme installed.
blog address is:
i don't want a sidebar in my blog, and managed to remove it from single posts and pages.
now, if i run a search in the search engine, the excerpts get displayed in 2 columns rather than in 3 -the correct way, same as in home page-. i believe this is due to the fact the sidebar function is still present somehow.
also, i have added tags into posts (a function that doesn't come with the theme). since then, when i try to gather tagged posts on one page, the footer messes up: it displays 2 columns rather than 3.
again, i suspect this is related to the sidebar.
any ideas to fix this??
thank you!

Shoe Storage Tips
With more than 30 years of experience as the storage and organization experts, we've come up with some creative solutions for saving precious space and time.
We also love to hear from customers like you about how you stay organized.
Read up on our expert tips and then share your own!
Life's Little Pleasures. Organized®.
Whether you have five pairs or fifty pairs (or more), here are some tips to keep your shoe collection organized, accessible and protected.
Size up your needs
Consider your entire closet when planning for shoe storage. Ask yourself how you feel the closet as a whole is functioning? You don't want to make room for shoes only to displace other items.
Plan for visibility and accessibility
If possible, avoid storing shoes underneath hanging clothes because they'll be hard to see. Choose clear drawers or boxes so that you can quickly identify the pair you want. Make sure shoes are stored where they're easy to access but also protected.
Review your options
There are many choices for shoe storage — from overdoor organizers and organizers that hang from a closet rod to stackable bins, drop-front boxes and drawers for use on closet shelves.
These questions can help determine which solution is right for you:
- What style do I like?
- Where am I planning to store my shoes?
- What styles of shoes do I have? (Heeled shoes require different storage than flats since they take up more room)
- How many pairs do I need to store? (If you like to add to your shoe collection, look for a modular system that can grow with your collection)
Prioritize your collection
Shoes that are worn most frequently should be easily accessible on lower shelves.
Store less-frequently worn shoes in protective clear shoe boxes so they're out of the way — yet easy to spot when you need them. Switching your shoes between summer and winter is a great way to save space.
Care and protection
Outfit your shoes with shoe trees to help protect the shape. Cedar shoe trees, in addition to shaping your shoe, absorb moisture that will weaken and damage the shoe. Boot Shapers are also helpful for preventing boots from cracks and creases — they even feature a hook for hanging your boots on a closet rod!
