I have always wondered about this. I was an avid rubber stamper years ago and this is a wonderful idea. Now I can stamp on my projects too. Glad I saved the stamps.

Chapter 1 Liam
When everything turns to black
You don't know where to go
You need something
To justify your soul
Silence is broken
Confidence is gone
Everything you're holding on to
All the people selling truths
On every corner now
The wait until the fear
Has knocked you down
All the rules are changing now
You're living in sin
Everything around you is caving in
All you're holding on to
Slipping like water through your hands
And you sing
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
Ya you sing
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
Far off in the distance
Somewhere you can't see
Allegiances have formed your destiny
Opposition all around
Feeding off your soul
Trying hard to swallow up you whole
And the demons all around you waiting
For you to sell your soul
They're singing
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
They're singing
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
Oh la la la la la
Oh la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
Song Black sung by Kari Kammil
The night was here and it was quiet, an owl hooted and the crickets made their noises. It was warm night as the summer was ending and the new school year was about to start. The graveyard is quiet right now but it'll be quiet for so long. A vampire climbed his way out of the ground and looked up seeing a red head girl standing before him.
"Evening," She greeted him and he hissed. The vampire got to his feet and went to lunch at Willow but someone grabbed him.
"I got him!" Xander yelled and Oz came running with a stake as Xander held him. Xander was losing grip on the vampire as he thrashed around. The vampire jumped and kicked Oz back and then jumped again and flipped over Xander and shoved him away. Willow went to break Xander's fall but she fell to. The vampire took off running and Oz picked the stake up and aimed. He then threw it and the stake hit a street lamp and the vampire was gone. There was a collective sigh of defeat as Xander helped Willow off the ground and Oz joined them.
"That went well," Oz deadpanned.
"I was always amazed how Angel fought, it takes three of us to take one vamp down but he can take three vamps down by himself." Xander said and he looked to everyone. "Took him for granted."
"He'll be back," Willow sound optimistic. "He needed some time and Senior year starts tomorrow." But Oz and Xander didn't look so optimistic at all. "Wouldn't it be cool if Angel just shows up tomorrow like nothing happened?"
"He can't, he got kicked out." Xander reminded them as they left the graveyard.
"I know, I just wish, I just wish we knew where he was." Willow sounded sad as they left.
Angel was walking on a dirt path in the woods. He has his crossbow with him as he hunted and looked to the distance and saw a graveyard. Angel watched it as he scanned the area but something caught his attention. Someone was walking in the graveyard moving and she was all in white. Angel held up his crossbow to fire but didn't.
Angel headed down the hill and search for this person and then saw her standing in front of a headstone. Her blonde hair cascaded around her shoulders and down her back. Angel walked to her and she turned around and smiled at him. Angel stood there and dropped his crossbow as she walked to him getting closer. Angel lowered his head in shame and she reached out. He could see the ring on her finger as she reached out.
Angel leaned into her hand and she smiled again. She reached with the other hand and now cupped both cheeks and got closer to him looking into his eyes.
"How did you find me?" He asked her.
"I can always find you my Angel," Her voice was so soft as they got closer. He put his arms around her pulling her in as their lips were about to touch.
"Stay with me Buffy," He begged if this is a dream then he didn't want to wake up ever.
"Forever, that's the whole point. I'll find you no matter what," She placed a soft kiss on his lips and then got on her tiptoes leaning into his ear. "Even if you killed me." She whispered into his ear and his eyes widen.
Angel rolled over and opened his eyes. He was in bed in a small studio apartment away from home. Angel sat up and got out of bed and walked to his window and looked to the back ally and heard sirens. Angel opened the window and put his hands on the sill. He then saw something on the other building, a figure standing there as if it were looking at him. Angel pulled his head back inside and closed his window.
"You're not real, you're dead." He whispered to himself getting ready for the day.
Angel was behind the diner bar serving lunch to the costumers. He would be off of work in a few hours and then leave to read a book. At least he had a job it paid next to nothing but it gave him a roof to sleep under. Angel saw a couple walk in and he hated couples. Angel went to go get their orders as they came to sit at the bar.
"Can I help you guys?" Angel asked and the boy looked at Angel smiled.
"Yeah uh," He then saw the nametag. "Liam," Angel's middle name was Liam. He thought about not using it because it's not the most common name but he was in the lower parts of LA and no one would find him here. The man reached into his pocket and pulled out change. "What can we get with this?" He asked. Angel looked at it and it summed up to two dollars well roughly.
"Cake, can we get cake?" The woman asked and Angel's sworn he's seen her but where.
"We have to eat healthy, can we get pie?" The man asked and Angel thought to himself there was no hope for humanity.
"Peach or apple?" Angel asked but he didn't care.
"Shouldn't have blown all of our money." The girl complained and the guy got closer to her pulling in close.
"But it was worth it right?" The man asked the girl smiled. "Here, look at this," He then pulled his sleeve up and so did the girl. They both had half of a heart with each other's name in it.
"Nice and permanent," Again Angel didn't care.
"It's forever, that's the whole point." The man leaned in to kiss the girl. Angel tried to brush that line out but it's been a while since anything has repeated. Then the girl looked at Angel smiling.
"Do I know you?" She asked and Angel shook his head no. "Where are you from?" She asked.
"I'll get you that pie," Angel knew where she was from and something told him he needed a new town and a new job.
Back in Sunnydale the library was busy as students were getting their books. Giles was there and even though Angel wasn't he was still acting as a Watcher as the A-Team was in his office.
"How was patrol?" He asked and Willow shrugged.
"Vampire got away but we're getting better." Willow answered.
"I'm very grateful for your help but please be careful. Until Angel's return I…I feel responsible for you guys." Giles stood up to head back out into the library. "Can't have anything happen to you guys."
"When will Angel come back?" Xander asked. "It's been what close to four months, he should have pulled himself together by now." But that made it sound like what happened wasn't a big deal.
"Xander, he killed Buffy that takes time." Willow defended Angel.
"How do we know he killed her? What if he killed Elizabeth?" Xander asked.
"The point is he killed one of them and that takes time." Giles went into the library to help some students leaving the A-Team behind. Willow and Xander left the library with Oz but he followed.
"Where you going?" Willow asked him.
"You remember when I failed last year?" Oz asked and she nodded.
"Yeah that's what summer school is for." Willow answered.
"Yeah, and remember I didn't go to that either?" He asked and Willow looked mad. "Well now we're Seniors together and I thought you'd find it kind of cute," Willow rolled her eyes and then Xander looked up seeing Cordelia and she smiled at him. They walked to each other and Willow and Oz left them behind to catch up.
Angel sat in his little studio on his bed. He was so withdrawn from the world these days that he kept alone. Angel stood up and tossed the can of soup away and headed out into the night. He wore his black over coat hoping to warn off anyone. He hated people now because of what they took for granted, for what's he done for them but what they do to him. As he left the complex Angel looked to the building cross from his and saw the figure again. He recognized the shape and turned away and closed his eyes and looked again and it was gone.
Angel kept walking down the street seeing homeless people. What was the point of saving the world and fighting when there were people suffering? Angel crossed the streets not knowing where he was going but somewhere.
"Liam?" A voice asked but he didn't answer. "Liam?" The voice asked again. "Angel?" Angel responded to that name and turned around seeing the girl from the diner earlier. She came up to him smiling. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone." She assured him.
"I know who you are you wanted to be a vampire." Angel stated.
"Yeah going by Lily now." She answered. "Why aren't you home?" She asked and he kept quiet. Angel then started to walk and she followed. "Where did the name Liam come from?" She asked trying to make small talk.
"It's my middle name." Angel answered but he wasn't all there.
"Angel Liam, that's pretty." Lily commented. "You know I never did thank you for saving me." Angel looked to her. "So thank you and I promise I won't tell anyone you're here I know what it's like to get and stay lost."
"You live around here?" Angel asked and she shrugged.
"A few places with Ricky." She answered and he nodded which meant she was homeless. Just then an old man bumped into them.
"I'm no one." He said and walked into the streets. Angel saw an oncoming car and couldn't allow it even if the man said he was no one. Angel raced into the streets and grabbed the man and pulled him away from the truck and saved his life. A few people saw that and clapped as Angel helped him up. "I'm no one." The homeless man kept walking.
Angel walked away from the crowds wanting to get away and he went to home it was a stupid idea to go out for a walk. But he wasn't paying attention and ran right into a man knocking his flyers everywhere.
"Sorry, sorry," Angel got down to help him gather the flyers.
"It's ok," The man assured him as they stood up. "Ken," Held out his hand for a handshake but Angel didn't responded. "Here, take this," He handed Angel a flyer. "We don't just feed people but help them in other ways. This is the last place someone like you should be. Kids that come here die from despair." The man explained. Angel took the flyer and went into the night.
Angel shoved his hands into his coat just wanting to get back to his place but felt someone following him. Angel used the shadows to hide and saw a figure walking. Angel jumped out and attacked the thing.
"Whoa, whoa!" The thing cried out as Angel pulled away. "You are strong, not going to hurt you babe." Angel looked down at the…thing maybe. He wore a hat but had a green face. "I may look like a demon but…ok I am demon but I'm a good demon." He assured him as he got up but Angel still held a fight pose. "The boy slayer, it is in an honor, Lorne Greene," He held out his hand and then shrugged. "Right, probably haven't had good run in's with demons."
"What do you want?" Angel demanded in a dark tone as Lorne looked to the young man. He looked so broken, so lost, so far from home. You kind of want to give him a hug but you know that won't do anything for him. He's seen so much in so little time.
"Been watching you for a month now had a uh…vision so to speak and someone has gone way off the beaten path." Lorne explained and then took something out of his pocket. "You'll see what I mean and when you do stop by." He handed Angel a card and the green demon walked away. Angel looked at the car and it said Caritas. Angel looked back up seeing the demon still leaving.
Back in Sunnydale Joyce was at home in the dining room paying bills. The house was so quiet that it was slowly driving her crazy. She filed a missing person's report but in three months no word. Angel empty out his account and you can't really track cash. Also he left his car here so right now there was no finding him. As Joyce filled out a check she heard a knock at the door. She prayed it was Angel coming home. She hoped everyday that he would come home. Joyce answered the door and it was Giles and he knew he disappointed her. She let him in anyways.
"I went to follow up a lead but no Angel." Giles said knowing that's all she wanted to know.
"I can't even leave the house," Joyce started. "I'm afraid he'll call and need me and don't want to miss it."
"Angel's one of the most mature person I have met for being seventeen, I know he can take care of himself." Giles assured her and she nodded.
"I just wish I could talk to him, hear his voice, the place is so empty and lonely. I told him to get out but I didn't mean it and I wish he knew that." Joyce paused and sighed.
"Don't blame yourself." Giles knew that wasn't going to help.
"I'm not I'm blaming you. You and him had this relationship behind my back. You've guided and influenced him something that I couldn't do not well enough to make him stay or understand." Joyce needed to put blame on some even though this wasn't anyone's fault.
"Joyce, misses O'Brien what happened to Angel isn't our fault." Giles assured her.
"Then who's is it?" Joyce asked.
Morning came and the after noon took over as Angel was back at the diner. He was at the bar restocking some sugar and cream thinking about the demon Lorne. He looked up and saw Lily come in. He didn't want to talk to her but she walked right up to the bar.
"Ang…Liam," She correct herself. "I need to talk to you Ricky's gone." She said. Angel looked up to say something but then saw someone standing outside the window. She was all in white staring at him. Angel looked down closing his eyes and looked back up slightly but she was still there.
"I, I can't help you." Angel stammered and brushed Lily off as he continued to look out the window and she was still there. 'You're dead, you're dead, you're dead. You're not real.' He repeated in his head.
"Please, he never just leaves and you help people right?" She asked and Angel looked up and back out the window and she wasn't gone.
"I don't do that anymore." Angel insisted trying to go about his day.
"I don't know what to do." Lily sound scared and upset. "I don't know where to start." Angel lowered his head and sighed.
"I get off at three." Was Angel saying yes to her. He looked out the window and she was gone.
Lily took Angel to a local blood bank as they walked around.
"We donate blood a few times, get paid a few bucks plus free food." Lily explained and a nurse came up to them.
"Uh, hi," Angle greeted but it felt like he lost his people skills.
"Here to donate?" The nurse asked.
"No, no just looking for a friend Ricky have you've seen him in the last day?" Angel asked.
"Let me check the chart." The nurse walked away leaving Angel and Lily there.
There was no luck at the clinic so Angel was going to stop by at some of the place Ricky and Lily hung out. They were all broken down buildings as he walked through them. There were squatters, druggies and prostitution in these places. Angel poked around hoping that Ricky got high and passed out and then he could be done with this. Angel looked around and his heart dropped. He found Ricky but whatever happened it was too late. The old thing was he knew it was Ricky but he looked eighty years old.
Angel returned to his place where Lily waited and paced. Angel locked the door behind him and she turned around.
"Did you find him?" She asked but Angel said nothing.
"Lily, Ricky…" But he didn't have to say anything and Lily started to tear up and backed away.
"Oh, no, no," She cried and for some reason Angel reached out and pulled her in for a hug. She responded and held him back sobbing.
"I'm sorry," He whispered knowing what it was like when you lose someone you loved. Angel held her but he was thinking about Ricky, when he checked him he was drained dry but there were no bite marks. Something wasn't right so once Lily leaves he was going back to the blood bank. He didn't like that place when he stepped in.
Later that night Angel went back to the bank. Breaking in wasn't hard and now it was time to poke around. He opened up a filing cabinet and pulled out files. He found Ricky's and opened it. He kind of wished he had Willow with him to make sense of this but when he got to the bottom it read candidate but for what? Angel tossed his file away and opened up another on to look. The nurse from earlier that day came in.
"What are you doing?" She asked but Angel didn't even bother to turn around and kept looking.
"Breaking in and going through your files." Angel answered like it wasn't serious. "Candidate for what?" Angel asked.
"I'm calling the police." The nurse stated and Angel reached for the phone on the wall and ripped it from the wall. The nurse took a step back in fear. Angel kept looking through more files and didn't an answer.
"You have lots of candidates here," He picked up a file and turned around holding it. "What's it for and not asking again?" Angel was getting frustrated and he tosses it aside. Now he wished he had his crossbow that would intimidate anyone.
"I'm not doing anything I just give them the list of the healthy ones." The nurse answered.
"Who's they?" Angel asked walking closer to the nurse knowing she was going to crack.
Angel found the place and wanted to talk to Ken. He walked right up to the door and didn't bother to knock and just kicked it down. Two men came running after him as he fixed his collar on his coat. One man threw a punch and Angel caught it and twisted his arm breaking it. Angel used that man as a shield and the guy punched the first guy. Angel threw the first guy down and the second man reached for Angel. Angel grabbed his wrists and threw him over his back and then slammed his foot into his face. As he walked away the first guy was about to get up but Angel kicked him in the face and he was out.
Angel kicked down a door and Ken stood up and he saw Lily was here.
"Stop that." Angel demanded and Ken threw Lily into some black water. Angel charged at Ken and they both fell in. Angel landed on his back and rolled over and saw Lily and he got up to her and started to help her up.
"My face," Ken complained. "You have any idea how long it takes to put it on!" The man ripped his face off revealing a demon.
"Run," Angel said to Lily grabbing her and they ran. Angel led her around and they came to a huge room that looked like a welding factory and the people working were human slaves. Demons ran the place as he looked. He couldn't back away from this now. Then something hit Angel in the back of the head and he went down. Lily screamed as she was face to face with the demon.
"You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. He is my refuge and my fortress. You shall take refuge. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence." A soft voice said as Angel was lying down. He then saw her standing there in white again and she held out her hand and he reached for it.
She pulled him up as they were now standing face to face. He wanted to hug her as their hands were still in one another's.
"Buffy?" He asked.
"Wake up Angel!" She yelled.
Angel woke up and looked around and he was on a dirty floor. He slowly got up and saw Lily sitting in the corner and then the demon that calls himself Ken.
"Angel," The demon said. "The boy slayer, heard about you. You killed the Master and you killed Elizabeth finally its honor. The whole demon underworld knows you but you disappeared for a while. Now I have found you and there's a big price on your head." He smiled as Angel sat up. "Welcome to hell."
"You work us until we're to old then we're gone." Angel stated.
"See in hell, time moves faster, a few years here more like a hundred years is just a day on earth. Oh and there is some one here that you might know, Buffy." The demon said.
"Where is she?" Angel asked getting up grabbing the bars ready to kill the demon.
"Well, maybe not in this hell dimension but she's in one and my god, never heard a scream like that before." He smiled seeing how it angered Angel.
Angel and a few others stood before a demon slave driver. He was giving orders and then walked up to a frighten young boy.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Aaron." The boy answered the demon cut his head off. The demon then walked to Lily.
"Who are you?" The demon asked.
"No one." Lily answered in tears. He asked another boy and he repeated what Lily said. Then the demon stood before Angel.
"Who are you?" He asked and Angel smiled a little.
"I'm Angel, the vampire slayer." He said then demon went to slam his axe to Angel. Angel caught it and broke the demon's arm and the other two demons ran to. Angel jumped and slammed the axe into one demon's head and then spun to the ground and embedded the axe into the second demon's chest. Angel stood up as the people looked shock and Angel twirled his axe. "Follow me." And they did.
Angel led them under a stairwell as the other people worked. Angel took everything in and then turned to Lily.
"Listen to me very carefully," Angel started. "I need you to take these people up the stairs once I take out a few guards.
"No, don't leave me." Lily begged him.
"If you don't do this then we all die." Angel stated and she nodded and he put his finger to his lips meaning to stay hushed. He handed her the axe and she took it then sirens went off and Angel then left the small group. Angel led some guards to chase after him giving the group sometime to run. Angel ran through whatever this factory was meant for and jumped on a plate form and jumped to the pole and swung around it and kicked two of the guards back.
Angel did a few backwards flips and blocked a move from one demon and kicked him back taking its axe from it. Another demon charged at him and swung the axe killing it while two more came his way. Angel rolled to the ground and when he rolled back up he spun and tripped another demon. Angel sliced its head off and the other demon came running to him. Angel charged at it and both axes grinded against each other. Angel kicked the demon and then kicked the axe from it and caught it. He spun and swung both axes into the demon and it fell. Angel stood up and twirled both axes and felt an amazing surge of energy go through him, it felt good to slay evil again.
"Humans never fight!" The demon called Ken yelled.
"Strong is fighting," Angel whispered to himself. He took back who he was in that moment. Angel threw an axe and it landed in the head of a demon and he fought off a few more.
"Enough!" Ken yelled holding Lily with a knife at her throat. Angel stopped and Ken stood at the edge. "You're mine slayer!" He yelled and Lily in a split second pushed Ken over the side. Angel kicked a demon back and sliced it's head off. Angel jumped off the plate form as Ken got up and Angel jumped into the air and threw the second axe and Ken was dead. The people of the place started to rebel fighting the demons too. Angel ripped the axe from Ken's head and looked up to Lily and she smiled. Angel went to help the people as he was born too.
Angel got the people out and headed to certain place for answers. He found the place Caritas and walked in. It was a karaoke bar as people were singing and the people were demons. He wasn't sure how he felt about this.
"Oh, don't worry Angel cake they're not bad demons." Angel turned around and saw the demon Lorne holding a drink. "So," Lorne walked and Angel followed him to an empty booth and they sat.
"You knew that was going to happen." Angel stated and Lorne shrugged sipping his drink.
"All I know is you were going to face something to help you take the next step." Lorne answered. "You see her don't you?" Lorne asked and Angel looked up. Angel was seventeen but he looked twenty-seven from all the horrors he's seen and the fighting he's done. But how does this demon know about Buffy and what happened to her? "She came into this business to help fight and to protect you. She's still protecting you and now guiding you. You stray away you'll see her. So what have you been doing out here?" Lorne asked.
"Stuff," Angel answered leaning into the booth. "Things," He was vague but Lorne nodded.
"You're a key player in this Angel it's time for you to see that. You have many people working for you to fight this." Lorne finished and Angel looked to the demon. "Time for you to do stuff and things back in Sunnydale because there is evil brewing out there and it's a nasty one."
"What are you?" Angel asked.
"Just one who wants to help. I tell the truth. You come to a bend in your own personal uphill road. Whether that slows you down well that's up to you." Lorne sipped his drink.
"You saw something?" Angel asked and Lorne shrugged.
"I send people on their paths ok. You're at a crucial juncture Angel. The question is what happens now?" Lorne asked and Angel leaned back in the booth thinking.
Back at Angel's place Lily was there. On the bed was a bag of everything Angel had brought with him.
"It's yours and you start work tomorrow at seven in the morning." Angel said to her and she smiled and then hugged him.
"Thank you," Lily whispered and pulled away. Angel smiled but it was faint and he grabbed his bag and left. But before he did Angel looked out the door and looked to the building but there wasn't anyone there, she wasn't there.
Angel got off the bus at the Sunnydale bus station and grabbed his stuff, which was very little. He then walked the streets of the town remembering the place. It was the same small little, no nothing town that hasn't got a clue. Angel kept walking ignoring most of the people as he passed by.
After what seemed like the longest walk he finally was in his neighborhood and now just had to find his street and house. He kept walking and then stopped. Could he face his mom? Would she let him in? He had the chance to turn back and run, to get on a bus and go to the East Coast far from here. But his feet went forwards, something told him to keep moving and there was his house. It hadn't changed and he saw his mother's car in the driveway parked next to his. Angel took a deep breath and kept walking to the house.
Joyce was in the kitchen cleaning up and sighed but a knock made her jump. She set down the towel and ran to the front door and opened it. Angel looked to his mom and she broke down in tears and reached out and pulled him in for a strong hug. Angel dropped his bag hugging his mother. He couldn't help but let a few tears fall himself, he was home.
"Oh, Angel," Joyce sobbed holding him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Please come home." She begged and Angel nodded with a few more tears. Joyce pulled away cupping his cheeks and pulled him close so their foreheads rested against one another. She kissed his forehead and hugged him again. She pulled him inside grabbing his bag. It smelt like home and he missed it. Angel headed upstairs with Joyce following him to his room.
His room was the same as he left it and the bed looked too comfortable that he laid in it now he'll sleep for a week. Joyce set his bag on the bed and the look she gave him was a look of relief. The look was also 'I'm going to cook everything we've got for you.' She left him alone to be by himself and regain himself to. Angel sat on the edge of the bed and let out a sigh and looked around his room. Part of him felt great to be home but the other part felt like he should run.
A few hours passed and Angel laid in his bed looking at the psalm 91 prayer card. On his neck was the medal and cross along with the ring. He couldn't wear the ring not on his finger but he was still wearing it. His mom fed him until he was on the verge of throwing it up and then he took a hot shower and felt good. Angel lowered the card and looked around his room. He was home but still felt lost.
That's chapter one. Some similarities and some differences. I like how I left it that Angel's home but he wants to leave again. Also hope you like Buffy's appearances. I felt Angel didn't have enough in the show. More insight to this chapter in the forum and how I went about things it'll be posted under TCOAB 3 Chapters in Review and the forum title TheBuffyAngelWhedonVerse. So you guys want more? Got a small look into chapter 2 and a longer look in the forum. Thanks for reading, comments, reviews are all and always welcomed.
Chapter 2 Back in Black
"Nothing settled yet but I wish you didn't have to be so secretive about being a slayer."
"Well, I have to ok it's for your protection from me." Angel stated as he was at the sink looking out the small window and saw a flash of a figure in white walking across the yard. Angel closed eyes quickly to shut that out and looked to his mom as she tossed the dishrag to the counter and went to empty the trash.
"Well, if people knew like the cops you might be able to help I mean you are a superhero right?" She asked and Angel sighed looking out the window again and then to his mom.
"Whatever," He blew her off and she got the hint that he didn't want to talk as she opened the back door and then something came running inside. Joyce screamed seeing the cat they just buried yesterday running in. Oh yes, it's going to be a long day.

Chapter 11.8Mature
"Hey, baby," a female voice said.
He glanced over and saw one of the club workers having a cigarette. She was looking at him with lust in her eyes.
"Taken," was all he said to her before looking over to Caelan and Beth who were standing by the car, talking quietly.
"She's a lucky girl then," the stripper muttered.
He raised an eyebrow at her. She thought he was straight? He almost laughed.
He walked over to Caelan and kissed him deeply. "Let's go," he whispered, moving to get into the car.
He shot the stripper one last glance. Her mouth was wide open in shock. He stifled a laugh.
"What was that for?" Caelan asked as he got in the passenger seat.
"Do I need a reason for kissing you?"
"No, just... wondering."
Zeke smiled at him, leaning over to kiss him gently. He almost forgot that Beth was in the seat behind them. He pulled back before he dragged Caelan into his lap and had him right there.
"I love you," he whispered.
Caelan smiled. "I love you too."
Zeke started the car and pulled out of the car park, speeding down the road. Beth yelped a little when he put his foot down. He apologised; Caelan was used to his driving, but Beth wasn't.
Zeke kept his eyes on the road for the rest of the journey. He turned the headlights on, though he didn't need them; he just didn't want to get in trouble with the police right now. He passed few cars; it was late and they passed more lorries than cars.
He was vaguely aware of Beth and Caelan talking but he was too busy thinking and watching the road to notice.
"Zeke? You alright?" Beth asked, about two hours into their journey.
She'd had a little sleep and had just woken up. Caelan looked like he was sleeping, his head flopping onto the seatbelt so he was facing away from her.
"Zeke?" she said again.
"He can't hear you," Caelan said without facing her.
"Why not?"
"He's just not listening. He's too busy thinking. Were you there earlier?"
"I was in the living room. I didn't hear much. I just know that he killed them all."
"I thought so. He practically refused to talk about it."
"Are you alright?" she asked him, concerned.
"Me?" he asked, turning to face her. "I'm fine. Just worried about him. He's really... scared about this. He wouldn't admit it but he is."
Beth noticed the way Zeke's knuckles were white on the steering wheel and his shoulders and jaw were tense.
"Where are we going?" she asked Caelan.
"I don't think Zeke's decided yet. Not consciously anyway. I think we're heading for Glasgow."
"What's in Glasgow?"
"I don't know who lives there but he goes up every so often."
"He's never told you?"
"I've never asked."
"Oh. How long does it take to get there?"
"With the way Zeke drives and how little traffic there is, another two and a half, maybe three hours."

Item description for Facing the Music by Robert Dusek...Overview
Facing the Music is a book about worship leading. But it is also a book about much more than just the act of leading or the theory of leadership. It dives deep into the calling, spirit and motivation of the worship leader. It invites us to move beyond "singing the song" and towards "becoming the song." It speaks of worship not as something we do, but rather something we are. It celebrates a lifestyle of worship and leads us to a level of transparency and intimacy before Jesus Christ. Facing the Music may challenge your preconceptions about worship leading-it may make you uncomfortable about some things. But in the end, the call, as A.W. Tozer once said, to "Take worship out of the hands of man and place it in the hands of God where it belongs," rings loud and clear throughout its passages. Dr. Robert Dusek is the Worship and Arts Pastor at Centerpoint Community Church in Arvada, Colorado. Prior to being called to the ministry, Dr. Dusek toured as a concert pianist and had several of his compositions and performances published and recorded. His passion now is for a rebirth of authenticity and transparency in the worship of God, and to that end he has worked with and coached several Denver area praise teams and has been a proponent of multi-church praise and worship gatherings. Robert lives at home with his wife whom he loves and his dog whom he tolerates.

Dad Enraged By Argument Over Earth's Shape Charged With Mischief
An Ontario dad who threw a bunch of stuff — including a propane tank — into a fire during heated debate about the Earth's shape has been charged with mischief.
CBC News reports the defender of the Earth's roundness said the argument was "stupid."
The flat and the furious
The 56-year-old made headlines earlier this week after Brockville, Ont. police revealed they were called to a park after a debate over the Earth's shape got out of hand.
The man began hurling things into the campfire after his son's girlfriend, a woke individual, insisted the third rock from the sun was flat.
In his frustration arguing with a round-Earth denier, he chucked a propane take into the campfire. But by the time firefighters arrived and put out the flames, the man was gone, according to Inside Brockville.
CBC News gloriously points out that it's unknown whether the woman involved has changed her views about the planet's shape.
The man will be appearing in court this summer, likely with the giants of the scientific world watching over him proudly from the heavens.
Is this the ultimate case for live broadcasts from inside Canadian courtrooms? Probably.
Also On HuffPost:
The disappearance of MH370 can be traced back to Pitbull and Shakira's 2012 track "Get It Started," according to YouTube commentators. Pitbull's lyrics include "Now it's off to Malaysia" and "Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day." Conspiracy theorists have said that the two passports relate to the stolen Austrian and Italian passports used by two Iranians to board MH370, the three cities refer to the capital cities of Malaysia, China and Vietnam and the two countries are Malaysia and Vietnam. Obviously. The lyrics "No Ali, No Frasier, but for now off to Malaysia" meanwhile were linked to the "Mr Ali' the press have been referring to for one of the two Iranian passengers – despite Malaysian authorities having confirmed the 19-year-old is actually called Pouria Nourmohammadi.
A wild claim bouncing around the Internet links ISIS and former presidential candidate John McCain, a vocal proponent of escalating the US response to the militants. It started with a photo McCain posted online of a meeting with Free Syrian Army fighters during a 2013 trip to Syria. The photo was later inaccurately framed as showing McCain meeting ISIS militants and posted on social media and conspiracy theory blogs. From there, speculation grew, suggesting McCain had a role in ISIS' creation, and had a relationship with ISIS leader al-Baghdadi, with photoshopped images of McCain pinning a medal on the chest of the ISIS leader as evidence. Senator Rand Paul referenced the McCain-ISIS conspiracy in an interview with The Daily Beast, saying, "Here's the problem. He [Sen. John McCain] did meet with ISIS, and had his picture taken, and didn't know it was happening at the time." The theory has been thoroughly discredited. According to The Washington Post's fact-checker, "there is zero evidence that any of the men that McCain met with in Syria are linked to the Islamic State."
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Isis, was trained by Mossad and the CIA, and his real name isn't Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai but Simon Elliot. According to internet kooks, he's a Jewish actor who was recruited by the Israelis to play the part of the world's most wanted terrorist, and that the beheadings of journalists like James Foley and aid workers like Alan Henning were staged. There's also a claim that NSA documents released by Edward Snowden "prove" the US and Israel are behind al-Baghdadi's actions has gone viral. "It's utter BS," Glenn Greenwald, the investigative journalist who helped break the NSA story, told Mehdi Hasan. "Snowden never said anything like that and no [NSA] documents suggest it." Snowden's lawyer, Ben Wizner, has called the story a hoax.
It sounds like an absurd rant on Facebook, but the conspiracy theory that either Mossad or the CIA are funding and advising ISIS in order to "smear" Muslims is an idea gaining traction across the Middle East. The swirling and obviously false rumours, which are particularly widespread in Lebanon, have even forced the US government to publicly deny any links to Islamic State (IS). Social media users across the Arab world have shared screenshots entitled "Password 360", which they allege is an admission by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an excerpt from her book, which theorists say "admits" the US has been engineering IS. The screenshot does not bear any reality to what is in the book, which is not even called "Password 360", nor is there any mention of such a thing in the book, which is called "Hard Choices".
This notion was given credence by Russia Today, who filed a report suggesting that Putin's plane flew on the same flight path less than an hour after the attack. Cue frantic speculation that everyone from President Obama to the Rothschild family were to blame for an attempted assassination on the Russian leader that went wrong. This theory was significantly beefed up in an editorial on the website Before It's News: "Adding in the fact that dozens of Malaysian passports were conveniently found at the scene of the crash, we can clearly see an attempted false flag to launch WW3 unfolding. The occult/illuminati connection to this plane crash are laid out in the 2nd video below and are absolutely stunning as the NWO [New World Order] attempts to start WW3 as their grip on power falls apart as the US dollar dies and on the same day TWA Flight 800 was shot down in 1996."
One of the more bonkers theories suggested that the plane that was attacked over Ukraine was actually the still missing MH370, the Malaysian aircraft that disappeared over the Indian Ocean earlier this year. How or why is not expanded upon.
This theory has had a lot of circulation on the internet, that the North Koreans hijacked the plane and flew it back to Pyongyang, for some reason. A reddit user wrote: "There's no telling what crazy logic they [North Korea] might have for taking a plane. They literally have no grasp of reality and have been caught red handed kidnapping foreigners, making s**t up and generally being d****es."
The Guardian quotes an email published on the website UFOSightingsDaily.com which claims a to be from a whistleblower from the European Space Agency. "Comet 67P is NOT a comet," the letter says. "Some 20 years ago Nasa began detecting radio bursts from an unknown origin out in space. It would later be known that these had likely come from the direction of the now named comet 67P. It does show signs on its outside of machine like parts and unnatural terrain. "Do not think for ONE MOMENT that a space agency would suddenly decide to spend billions of dollars to build and send a spacecraft on a 12-year journey to simply take some close-up images of a randomly picked out comet floating in space." Ending on an ominous note, it adds: "Whatever this object is, it did not ask to be found or scrutinised." One of the site's users said that he believed the comet was emitting signals to humans, friendly ones. "I believe the landing of the ESA craft was the equivalent of a first handshake," he is quoted as saying. "They will make another move soon probably. Alien structures are on the comet."
This is an incredibly serious problem that has led to aid workers being put at real risk, chased out of villages and contributed in part to the difficulty in stopping the spread of the infection, because people have begun to believe aid workers are spreading the virus. Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, was one of the key proponents of the theory that Ebola had been developed to kill Africans, saying the virus had been designed for that purpose. "If you are black or brown, you are being selected for destruction," he said. Iran's PressTV even ran a debate on the subject " to see whether or not Ebola is a man-made phenomenon used by the US as an excuse to control more African resources."
Actually, hold on a sec...


text: Monogrammed shirts are certainly unnecessary. They are tacky when they are part of a program of ostentation, as they often are, especially when the monogram is visible, such as when it is on a cuff. Monograms should be discreet, on the tail or on the pocket. They should always be covered when a suit jacket is worn. I guess monograms come in handy if you have amnesia—one look in the mirror and you have a clue as to who you are.

One of President Barack Obama?s protective limousines broke down in Israel on Wednesday but did not affect his ability to move around Jerusalem, a Secret Service spokesman said.
The black, heavily guarded limousine experienced mechanical problems before Obama landed in Israel for a state visit. Various news reports said it had been mistakenly filled with the wrong fuel, but the Secret Service did not confirm this.
?One of our protective vehicles experienced mechanical problems in Israel earlier today. This is why we bring multiple vehicles and a mechanic on all trips,? Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary in Washington.
?Situations like this are planned for extensively by our advance teams so that the president?s itinerary is unaffected by these types of issues.?

Navy Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, CA
INTRODUCTION:A tracheobronchial foreign body (TFB) can be a life-threatening emergency which requires urgent intervention. TFBs occur most commonly in childhood as a result of aspiration. Traumatic TFB is less commonly reported in the literature. We report a case of a TFB resulting from an impaling injury more than 30-years prior to presentation.
CASE PRESENTATION:A 45 year-old Hispanic male fell from a tree at age 13, impaling himself on one of its lower branches. The patient recalls being taken to a local hospital in Mexico where a piece of wood was pulled out of his right posterior chest, and a right-sided chest tube was placed. The chest tube was removed three days later and the patient was discharged from the hospital. The patient reports that he had no further problems until age 39 when he developed a chronic cough with intermittent episodes of hemoptysis. Over the last several years he had also experienced frequent episodes of pneumonia. On physical exam, a 4 cm well-healed scar was noted on the mid aspect of his right posterior hemithorax. Rhonchi were auscultated in the right posterior lower lung fields. A chest CT revealed a foreign body extending from the right lower lobe bronchus up into the bronchus intermedius. On rigid bronchoscopy, the patient was noted to have a large brown foreign body extending from the right lower lobe and causing near-complete obstruction of the right bronchus intermedius. Using rigid forceps, several pieces of yellow-brown splintering material were removed from the right bronchus intermedius. Pathology of this material was consistent with wood. Because the foreign body was firmly impacted into the right lower lobe bronchus, the majority of the body could not be removed. The patient underwent right thoracotomy with right middle lobe and right lower lobe resection. A 5 * 2.3 * 1.5 cm piece of wood was removed with the surgical specimen. The patient's post-operative course was uncomplicated and he did well following hospital discharge with no further episodes of cough or pneumonia.
DISCUSSIONS:Since its inception in 1897, bronchoscopy has been used to assess and manage tracheobronchial foreign bodies. The overwhelming majority of these occur in children, as a result of aspiration. Although the literature has several reports of traumatic tracheobronchial foreign bodies, these events are exceedingly rare. The clinical presentation of TFB in adults may be insidious, with cough as the most commonly reported complaint. Radiographic changes in adults, if present, more commonly show pneumonic or atelectatic patterns. Our patient exhibited no symptoms attributable to his retained intrathoracic wood fragment for more than 2 decades. Others have reported a clinical presentation more than 60 years after the initial injury causing the TFB. Migration of the TFB is also rare, but has been reported. We postulate that in this patient, the gradual migration of the wood to an intrabronchial location explained the delayed symptom onset. Removal of the TFB may occur bronchoscopically, or may require surgical excision, as with our patient.
CONCLUSION:Adult TFB is a rare event, which may present with a non-specific constellation of insidious symptoms years after the initial injury. Accurate diagnosis often requires a detailed history, early use of CT imaging, and bronchoscopic evaluation. To our knowledge, all of the reported cases in the literature to date have involved an initial projectile injury; gunshot, explosive device, etc. We believe our case is the first report of an impaling injury causing a delayed TFB.

A $280,000 draft project to progress options for improving and expanding sewage disposal at Mangawhai is in a capital works programme which Kaipara commissioners last week approved for inclusion in the 2014/15 draft annual plan.
The draft project, considered at a Kaipara District Council (KDC) meeting on the Otamatea Marae at Batley last month, said operation evidence indicated the present disposal system's capacity was limited and there was a risk of non-compliance with resource consents.
Last month, when Auditor-General Lyn Provost was presenting her office's report on council handling of the Mangawhai sewerage scheme, she said the KDC had entered the scheme construction contract without a plan to dispose of treated effluent.
"The council allowed $361,000 for effluent disposal and it eventually cost about $14 million," she said.
The draft project to improve the disposal system, now lined up for the coming year's annual plan, says options for expansion include disposal at the Mangawhai golf course, the Te Arai golf course and subdivisions and at Mangawhai Park.

The reasons for its decline are well-rehearsed. The American economy is in good shape, but low interest rates, combined with concerns over the twin budget and current account deficits, have sent the greenback plunging.
Unlike the Bill Clinton/Robert Rubin administration, which preached the mantra of a strong dollar, the Bush White House has been sanguine about a cheapening currency. Officials are banking on a nice, smooth decline to correct the double deficits.
What does it mean for us? The impact of a falling dollar on the UK goes beyond tourists being able to enjoy cheaper holidays in America. It makes investment in Britain a less attractive proposition for US firms, and will hit shareholders who receive dollar denominated dividends.
The pound is caught between a depreciating dollar and an appreciating euro. Exports to America will be hit, but that should be offset through our trade with the eurozone, which is much greater.
Interest rates in the US are likely to remain low, which might discourage the Bank of England's rate- setting committee from pushing through hikes here.
The key question is whether the dollar can avoid collapse. As Andrew Clare, financial economist at Legal & General, puts it: 'We need a lower dollar, the question is how quickly we get there. A dollar crisis is a definite possibility.'
Asian central banks have been content to amass vast reserves of greenbacks, but will not want to do so indefinitely, and a rush to sell could send the dollar into a tailspin.
So far, the dollar's fall has been an orderly one. The risk, identified by the IMF in its most recent world economic outlook report, is that it becomes disorderly.
Shares v Homes
THE received wisdom of middle Britain is that bricks and mortar are invariably the best investment. That view has come under assault recently, with experts suggesting that shares are likely to outdo the housing market this year.
If you compare the Nationwide house price index with stock market returns including gross dividends reinvested over the past 40 years, it appears as if shares have hugely outstripped homes.
But the national obsession with property investment is not as irrational as the charts might suggest. The Nationwide index does not take account of imputed rent - the money people would be shelling out to a landlord if they were not buying a home.
Nor does it take account of gearing. Banks and societies are not usually keen to lend people money to invest on the stock market. But mortgage borrowers can potentially notch up large gains on their homes on the back of a relatively small deposit - though, as thousands in the late Eighties discovered, the downside is the risk of negative equity.
The housing market may seem off-putting at the moment. Commentators are almost unanimous in predicting a slowdown in the rate of growth. Some, including hedge fund guru Crispin Odey and economist Roger Bootle, are convinced prices will fall. But on a long-term view, buying a house is still a pretty good way for most people to build up a store of wealth.
School for scandal
A COUPLE of City indices soared relentlessly upwards throughout the bear market: those tracking fraud and scandal. Financial News, the Square Mile's parish newspaper, has devised a scandal index that has soared 300% since 2001, while fraud has doubled. Crisis, fortunately, is down 57% since 1998 - although that was the year of the collapse of the Long Term Capital Management hedge fund, and the Russian bond default.
Purists might jibe that, because the indices are based on articles in the newspaper, they are more of a guide to what journalists enjoy writing than anything else.
But the Parmalat debacle has certainly set the scene for another bumper year.

Sen. Tom McInnis Wins $70K From 'Malicious' Neighbours
HALIFAX — A Conservative senator has won more than $70,000 in legal costs from his rural Nova Scotia neighbours after they attempted to seize part of his oceanfront property.
Senator Tom McInnis, a 71-year-old former deputy premier, found himself feuding with his new neighbours in Sheet Harbour shortly before he was appointed to the Senate in 2012.
Daniel and Francine Stone claimed a piece of McInnis' property, and called police repeatedly when the senator and his wife went on the land, according to an Aug. 12 ruling from Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice Arthur Pickup.
Senator Tom McInnis is shown with former prime minister Stephen Harper in this handout image.
"When we did go to the property just to go for a walk or sit in our chairs, Mr. Stone called the police and they would come to our home, no matter the time of day," McInnis said in an affidavit. "We have been literally shut out of the McInnis property virtually since the Stones moved in ... and put their boat in the water in 2011."
The Stones excavated and graded part of McInnis' property, and installed a fire pit on it.
"On one occasion in 2013 on a Saturday afternoon, I saw Mr. Stone at the fire pit that he had constructed ... Mr. Stone looked at me and smiled and said 'Tom, I am going right down to the bottom' and waved to the water," McInnis said in the affidavit.
Pickup said McInnis bought, surveyed and registered the land — adjacent to family property he inherited — and the Stones were "very aware" the disputed land and water access were not part of their property.
'Virtually robbed' of his own land
Their actions "virtually robbed" McInnis of his own land, the judge said.
"I find the actions of (the Stones) to have been calculated, malicious, inexcusable and a departure from a standard of decent behaviour," Pickup ruled.
The judge had earlier awarded McInnis $5,000 in damages; the new ruling awarded him another $70,569.69 in legal costs.
McInnis should not be put to any expense to defend himself and his property, Pickup said.
"Despite being told they had no claim to Mr. McInnis's land at the time they purchased (their property), they did everything possible to take Mr. McInnis's lands, including preventing him accessing his lands. The Stones systematically advanced into his lands, then cobbled together legal arguments after the fact to justify their actions."
McInnis, who is a lawyer, represented the area provincially for 15 years, but lost to the Liberals in 1993 after the electoral map was redrawn.
Experience in provincial cabinets can go a long way at the federal level. Just look at NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, who served as Quebec's minister of the environment (2003-2005) and minister of sustainable development (2005-2006) before making the jump to the House of Commons. Of course, Mulcair has also had to defend his record in Quebec. Click through the slideshow to see other current MPs who served in cabinet at the provincial level.
Tony Clement, a former federal cabinet minister, cut his teeth in Ontario as minister of transportation (1997-1999), minister of the environment (1999-2000), minister of municipal affairs and housing (1999-2001), and minister of health and long-term care (2001-2003).

MaryAnn Mihychuk previously served as Manitoba's minister of industry, trade, and mines (1999-2003), minister responsible for international relations coordination (2003-2004), and minister of intergovernmental affairs and trade (2003-2004). She currently serves as the federal minister of labour.
Jenny Kwan served British Columbia as minister of municipal affairs (1998-1999), minister of women's equality (1999-2000), and minister of community development (2000-2001).
Remember Ontario's only NDP government? Well, David Christopherson was a key figure in that cabinet. He served as Ontario's minister of correctional services (1992-1995) and solicitor general (1993-1995).
Irene Mathyssen also served in Ontario cabinet as minister without portfolio (culture, tourism and recreation) from 1994-1995.
Joyce Murray held cabinet jobs in B.C. before becoming an MP. She served as minister of water, land, and air protection (2001-2004) and minister of management services (2004-2005).
Judy Foote held a number of important roles in the government of Newfoundland and Labrador before going federal. She served as minister of development and rural renewal (1996-1997), minister of industry, trade and technology (1997-1998), minister of education and training (1998-2000), minister of education (2000-2003), and again minister of industry in 2003. She now serves as the federal minister for public works.
Yvonne Jones served as Newfoundland and Labrador's minister of fisheries and aquaculture and minister for the status of women in 2003.
Jean Rioux served as Quebec's minister of labour from 2005-2007.

Len Webber spent about 10 years in the Alberta legislature, where he served as minister of aboriginal relations and minister of international and intergovernmental relations.
Peter Fonesca served in the Ontario cabinet as minister of tourism (2007-2008) and minister of labour (2008-2010).
Robert Morrissey held a number of key jobs in P.E.I., including minister of transportation and public works (1986-1989), minister of industry (1989-1993), and minister of economic development and tourism (1993-1996).
During his 14 years in the Nunavut assembly (1999-2013), Hunter Tootoo held a number of roles, including minister of education and human resources. He also served as the minister responsible for homelessness, the Arctic College, and the Nunavut Housing Corporation. Tootoo briefly served as federal fisheries minister, but resigned from the role to seek addiction treatment in May 2016.

OK, so I made that up, but the blacksmith does play an interesting role in country life. He (and it nearly always is he, which is significant) is a pleasing blend of ancient and modern. You no longer take your horse to the village smithy. Instead, white van man arrives complete with mobile forge and gas canister. He also has a leather apron, an anvil and a box of tools that haven't changed much since Thor's time.
Whereas Napoleon's army marched on its stomach, the horse marches on its hooves and once they're messed up, so is the horse. The farrier is the physician who teaches youngsters to endure hammering, filing and smoke, as hot metal sizzles against hoof.
One sign of the times is that whereas once blacksmiths would have dealt almost exclusively with men, now the proprietors of riding schools, livery yards and horse owners are largely women. Recently a magazine ran a competition to find the sexiest farrier and I'm pleased to say that ours was in the final 10. What could be more appealing than a man steeped in earthy tradition, broad-shouldered, a fount of knowledge, bringing a touch of Mellors into the stableyard? And then there's their undeniably satanic aspect - all that heat and metallic banging.
We don't chase foxes. Our yard is a sanctuary for beetles rescued from water buckets, field mice in hay bales and refugee pheasants. Instead, we simply ride around our idyllic neighbourhood and wait for the next visit from the farrier.

By Anne D'innocenzio, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK Online retailers — grappling with a sharp drop in consumer spending from even their most gung-ho Web enthusiasts — are becoming pushier with e-mails that pitch the latest deals.
With pleas like, "Last chance to save 20%," or "Hurry, final sale ends," retailers from pure online players to land-based stores with a Web presence are hoping to get consumers to open their wallets — quickly and in a cost-effective way.
AnnTaylor Stores Corp.'s recent e-mails promote knit tops as low as $9.99, while Saks Fifth Avenue's e-mail messages tout up to 60% off on new women's fashions. But such attempts to pump up sales threaten to drive away shoppers, who may already be starting to get bleary-eyed over the bombardment.
And if consumers are fed up with the e-mail blasts now, just wait until the holiday season gets underway in earnest — with merchants expecting to increase the pace as they do whatever they can to make their sales goals.
"I find them annoying," said Cory Porter, a Web shopping fan from Washington D.C. who says he now receives about seven per day, twice as many as about two months ago. He had signed up with about nine retailers including Barneys New York, Banana Republic and Safeway to receive e-mail promotions, but thought they would be customized to his needs.
"I am a 32-year-old guy who lives in an urban area with no kids," Porter said. "In other words, I don't need blouses, high heels, or kid's juice boxes." As a result, he's opted out with some stores, directing the rest to his spam account.
The frenetic pace of offers comes as Web shopping — which had held up better in the slowing economy than store-based retailing — has been starting to slow dramatically since the financial meltdown intensified in September.
Sucharita Mulpuru, an analyst at Internet research company Forrester Research, expects online retailers to fare better than regular stores this holiday season because of the convenience, the breadth of selection and the perceived value. But "there is definitely a significant slowing down" in online shopping, she said, noting that the stock market tumble, weaker job market and tighter credit have spooked even the most enthusiastic Web shoppers.
Amazon.com, considered the bellwether of Web shopping, announced late Wednesday that it was slashing its full-year sales outlook, saying it had slower growth rates near the end of the quarter and now expects annual revenue below analyst expectations.
Porter, who does public relations for government contractors, noted that he slashed his spending on clothing and gadgets to $200 this month amid "all the economic uncertainty." That compares with the $500 per month he had been spending. He said he typically does about half of his buying on the Web.
Kurt Peters, editor-in-chief of trade publication Internet Retailer, noted that stores can easily react to a sharp sales slowdown in a matter of hours by sending out e-mail blasts, which is faster and more cost-effective than redoing a mailer to consumers. Julie M. Katz, another Forrester analyst, estimates that it costs about $2 for every thousand e-mails sent. The Direct Marketers Association estimates that marketers reap $45.06 in return on investment for every dollar they spend on e-mail campaigns. That compares with $7.28 for catalogs and $15.55 for direct mail pieces.
Analysts say that during the last recession in 2001, stores didn't have the vast data bank of consumer contacts they could mine as they do now.
Internet Retailer's recent survey of 174 Web retailers, including those that operate stores, found that nearly half have increased the number of monthly e-mails they send compared to a year ago. Chad White, director of retail insights for the Email Experience Council, the e-mail marketing arm of the DMA, reports an 8% increase in the number of e-mails stores have sent for the week ended Oct. 17, compared to the same week a year earlier.
Overall, Forrester predicts that retailers and wholesalers will send 158 billion marketing e-mails this year; that's expected to increase 63% to 258 billion in 2013. At the same time, consumers are becoming turned off with e-mail. Forrester said it is finding that online consumers were annoyed with e-mail volume and are beginning to turn to social networking sites, texting and other communication channels.
Michael Wagner, CEO of etoys.com, said e-mail campaigns drive about 12% of overall revenue but noted that he's not sure if they will do more this holiday season than last year. "We are concerned about exhausting the customer," he said.
The big problem, according to Stephanie Miller, vice president of market development for consulting group Return Path Inc., is that less than 20% of retailers' e-mails are customized even though stores have the capability of targeting their messages. She thinks it's because marketers don't get the resources they need. That will change, she said, because just stepping up the frequency is not going to work in this challenging environment.
Dan de Grandpre, founder of dealnews.com, a site that keeps track of store bargains, said that he's noticed that stores are sending out more reminders and are blasting e-mails that offer discounts across many categories instead of just one item. The bulk of the e-mails are coming from apparel and furnishings chains, which have been hardest hit by the economic slowdown as shoppers cut back on non-essentials.
Forrester's Katz expects that stores may pull back on e-mail campaigns after the holiday season; she added such programs still cost companies a "chunk of change" given the millions of e-mails they send out.
"Consumers just don't have the dollars. The reality is going to sink in," she said.
