A paper sheet having a recess along one edge thereof with a non-drying adhesive applied in said recess and a removable protective strip covering said adhesive, the combined thickness of said adhesive and strip being substantially equal to the depth of said recess to provide a sheet of uniform thickness having a protected pressure-sensitive adhesive edge.
1. A paper sheet comprising,
an attachment marginal edge portion,
a recess formed along said attachment edge portion having a predetermined depth,
a layer of non-drying, pressure-sensitive adhesive applied only in the recessed marginal edge portion,
a protective strip removably applied to the layer of adhesive in said recess,
the combined thickness of the adhesive and protective strip being no greater than the depth of the recess so that the thickness of the attachment marginal edge portion of the paper sheet is no thicker than the remaining portion of the sheet to permit processing of the sheet through a conventional processing operation such as printing and copying in a conventional manner.
2. The structure set forth in claim 1 wherein the combined thickness of the adhesive and the protective strip is substantially equal to the predetermined depth of the recess to produce a marginal edge thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the remaining portion of the sheet.
3. The structure set forth in claim 1 wherein the width of the layer of adhesive is less than the width of the recess, and the width of the protective strip is slightly wider than the layer of adhesive to provide an unattached starting flap along the portion of said strip overlying the portion of the recess to which adhesive has not been applied.
4. The structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein the adhesive is sufficiently aggressive to permanently adhere the sheet to an underlying surface.
5. The structure shet forth in claim 1 wherein the adhesive is of a type to permit the the sheet to be readily removed from an underlying surface to which it has been adhered and to be reattached to an underlying surface.
6. The structure set forth in claim 3 wherein the space between the edge of the recess and the adhesive provides a fold line adjacent to the adhesively attached edge which facilitates bending said sheet along said fold line without removal of the adhesive.
In the past, paper stock having protected pressure-sensitive adhesive applied only to a marginal edge portion thereof has been incapable of being processed because of the added thickness to the edge portion produced by the adhesive and protective strip thereon. This prevents the sheets from being stacked for printing, or die cutting as is required for making envelopes, or from being copied on a conventional copy machine. In the past, the only alternative to the thickened glued edge has been to apply the glue and protective sheet to the entire under surface of the paper as when pressure-sensitive name tags and the like are being produced. This is obviously expensive and unnecessary when only a pressure-sensitive glued edge is required.
The present invention provides a versatile paper sheet which can be processed through normal printing, copying, and die stamping operations where the sheets are stacked and must be of uniform thickness throughout their entire surface area. This construction provides a pressure-sensitive glued edge with a suitable protective strip overlying the adhesive portion with both the adhesive and protective strip being received in a preformed groove having the same depth as the aggregate thickness of the adhesive and strip, so that the thickness of the sheet is uniform throughout its entire surface area.
The use of the protective strip over the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface portion not only provides a sheet having an attachment portion along a marginal edge thereof when the protective strip is removed, but also provides a sheet of uniform thickness which has a reinforced marginal edge portion for use in loose leaf binders and the like, if the protective strip is not removed and is made from suitable reinforcing material such as mylar or the like.
FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially along the line 1--1 of FIG. 2 showing apparatus for providing a recess in a sheet of paper;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view of a sheet of paper having a recessed groove formed therein;
FIG. 4 is a similar view with the adhesive and protective strip applied to the sheet in the recessed groove;
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of a single large sheet adapted to be divided into a plurality of single smaller size sheets for efficiency in manufacturing;
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of an individual sheet; and
FIG. 7 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially along the line 7--7 of FIG. 6.
FIGS. 3 and 5 show a sheet of paper 10 which includes a recess groove 12 of predetermined depth formed therein. A ribbon of adhesive 14 is applied in the groove 12 and a protective strip of material 16 is adhered in the groove by said adhesive. The combined thickness of the adhesive 14 and protective strip 16 is no greater than the depth of the recess 12 and is preferably equal to said depth. The ribbon of adhesive is somewhat narrower than the width of the groove 12 to provide a free, unattached strip edge 16b along both sides of the protective strip as best shown in FIG. 4.
Suitable apparatus for forming the groove in the paper sheet 10 is provided, such as a pair of opposed rollers 20 and 22 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. The roller 20 has a smooth uniform outer circumferential cylindrical surface 20a. The two rollers are positioned in opposed, slightly spaced-apart relation and the roller 22 has a raised center portion 22a of larger diameter than the two side portions 22b. As shown in FIG. 2, this raised center portion 22a of the roller 22 compresses the paper to produce a recess 12 of predetermined depth therein. Sheets 10a of the desired dimensions are ultimately produced by cutting the larger double width sheet 10 along the dotted line 24 down the center line of the recess 12 with the adhesive 14 and protective strip 16 applied in the recess. This bisects the protective strip 16 into two strip portions 16a which will then form the adhesive edge 10b of the smaller sheets 10a after the two bisected sheets are cut along the transverse lines 25 illustrated in FIG. 5. The half width glue portion is designated 14a, and the half width protective strip is designated 16a as shown in FIG. 6. The individual sheets 10a having an attachment edge 10b with the adhesive 14a and protective strip 16a formed in the recess portion are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
The adhesive material is of two types; one which will permit the sheet to be permanently adhered to a substrate or underlying surface of the other which can be removably attached to the underlying surface and subsequently reattached to the same or a different underlying substrate surface. An adhesive which is found to be suitable for permanent attachment of the paper wheet is a hot melt pressure-sensitive type adhesive Formulation No. 1P84024 manufactured and sold by Swift Adhesives, a division of Eschem Inc. of Chicago, Ill. A reusable adhesive which has proved to be satisfactory is a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive No. HM1618 manufactured and sold by the H. B. Fuller Company of St. Paul, Minn. The protective strip 16 may be manufactured from a number of different materials; however, a polyester tape such as Mylar manufactured by Dupont Company of Wilmington, Del., has proved to be satisfactory. Such a polyester tape also serves well to provide a reinforcing strip if the paper sheet is used without removing the protective strip such as would be the case if the paper sheet is used in a loose-leaf ring binder.
The manufactured sheets 10a may be quickly and easily attached to an underlying surface by first removing the protective strip portion 16a to expose the pressure-sensitive adhesive portion 14a. The free, unattached inner edge 16b of the strip 16a facilitates initial lifting of the strip from the adhesive and facilitates removal of the strip. It should be noted that the use of the permanent attachment adhesive permits the number of sheets to be easily bound together along the marginal attachment edges 10b thereof to form a permanently bound-together booklet. The clear space between the edge of the adhesive and the edge of the recess provides a reduced thickness portion of the recess adjacent to the bound-together adhesive portion which in effect, produces a hinge line which, because of its reduced cross-sectional thickness, bends more easily than the adjacent portion of the sheet.
It will be seen that this invention permits a sheet of paper having uniform thickness throughout its entire surface area to be provided which can be processed with conventional equipment after the adhesive and protective covering strip has been applied thereto, while still permitting the sheet to be quickly attached to another sheet either permanently or removably, depending upon the adhesive used, after removal of the protective strip.
It will, of course, be understood that various changes may be made in the form, details, and proportion of the components shown and described without departing from the scope of the invention which is set forth in the appended claims.

Preppie Killer Robert Chambers Gets 19 More Years In Jail
Robert Chambers, the "preppie killer" who served 15 years for the 1986 murder of Jennifer Levin in Central Park, pled guilty this past week to selling cocaine and assault on a police officer. Chambers, who served the maximum sentence for strangling Jennifer Levin during what he characterized as "rough sex", was released from prison in 2003. During his original prison term, Chambers was cited for several violations, including drug possession. In November of 2004, Chambers was arrested after traces of heroin and cocaine were found in his car, which he was driving with a suspended license. He was then sentenced to an additional 100 days in prison.
During a three month undercover investigation, Chambers and his girlfriend apparently sold 246 grams of cocaine to police officers for $9,600 from a midtown New York apartment. When they were arrested last year, officers had to use a battering ram to enter the apartment, which was littered with 10 crack pipes and several tin cans of cocaine residue, among other drug paraphernalia. During a violent struggle with the police, Chambers broke one officer's wrist.
Under the plea deal, Chambers has been promised a sentence of 19 years and 4 months. Had he pled not guilty, he faced life in prison if convicted after trial. Chambers will be 62 years old when he completes his jail term in 2027.

SPOILER ALERT! This story reveals key plot details of Big Love's series finale. Don't read any further if you haven't watched yet.
At the end of Big Love, Bill Henrickson got his wish: His trio of wives remained a cohesive and loving family unit despite attacks on several fronts.
Over its five seasons, HBO's Big Love masterfully divided story lines between its polygamous foursome — Bill (Bill Paxton), Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn), Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) and Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin). But cocreator Will Scheffer points out, "This is Jeanne's year. Barb has been utterly transcendent." Her journey, and all the reunited Henricksons' (Amanda Seyfried is back as daughter Sarah), comes to a close in Sunday's emotional series finale as Barb is finally able to embrace her life as an independent woman/wife/mother... and priesthood holder.

Our bond
is more than
a relationship
it binds us
like glue,
we're in this life
together now
joined at
the head, heart and hip.
Our bond
started long ago,
a friendship it was,
now linked we are
as we get along
and no longer clash,
we want this connection
we have
to one day be
a union under God.
Our bond
was formed
before we even knew
what love can do,
how souls can bind,
how it can make us blind,
but we see so clearly now
and only want
to live as one
forever and always.

I truly enjoyed my visit to the Milkweed Mercantile Eco Inn. I stayed in the Wallace Stegner Room, which is the small room downstairs. It is the perfect space for one person, cozy and welcoming. I came to the Eco Inn to relax and regroup away from the city. Alline was such a lovely host. The food was superb! (Pizza night is Thursdays!) And the ambience was warm and friendly. I loved having my morning coffee on the verandah. Since I am studying Sustainable Business, it was important to me to have a mini-vacation that is both sustainable and relaxing. The eco-toilets are just like normal toilets except you don't need to flush them. She shower was like a normal shower. This was my first eco-vacation, and I was impressed with how comfortable -- and luxurious -- an eco-vacation can be. I will absolutely return to the Milkweed Mercantile Eco Inn.

If you're at all thinking "Ecovillage?! Compost toilets?!" just wait! The Milkweed Mercantile, located in the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage amid the lush green rolling hills of rural Missouri, is a feast for the eyes and a balm for the body and soul. Imagine the graceful lines of adobe structures and the welcoming feel of a farmhouse - the Mercantile would be the baby of these two architectural styles. The beds are that perfect combination of firm and cloud-like. There are two toilets (that function beautifully and don't smell at all), two showers and a bathtub. The whole place is clean and inviting. And there is a sense of serenity and peace. And the food! Plan your trip to arrive for dinner on Thursday, because you do not want to miss weekly pizza night (you need to order ahead and let them know what toppings you'd like). All of the meals were delicious and wholesome, locally sourced with unique twists. There was always plenty of food and we never left the table feeling bloated and uncomfortable. I brought my 5 year old daughter, who is your typical picky eater and she very much enjoyed the majority of the food - and the chef even made child-sized scones, biscuits and muffins specifically for her. Before arriving I was asked if we had any dietary restrictions and what my daughter liked to eat - and they listened and provided some of her absolute favorites. The staff was warm and welcoming, and abundantly accommodating. I cannot say enough about how lovely our experience at the Milkweed Mercantile was! Perhaps a downside for some would be the very rural location. However, when you think about the "amenities" offered (a pond for swimming in, woods and rolling hills for hiking in, quiet for just relaxing - thinking - and being in, and a warm and welcoming community that is happy to stop and talk - there is plenty to do that eases the soul and restores the body.

We had a great stay at the Milkweed Mercantile! Our rooms were clean and comfortable with plenty of space. The atmosphere was friendly and everyone was very kind. Toilet and bathing facilities were clean and just like home. Their food was phenomenal! We'll definitely be back!

Staying at the Milkweed Mercantile was a very pleasant and energizing experience. The accommodations were simple, comfortable and beautiful; and we were encouraged to enjoy the entire village, both exploring on our own and being given a personal tour highlighting the incredibly diverse eco-friendly houses, gardens, renewable energy sources, artistic endeavors and warm dynamic folks who live there. Our room was lovely, the shared bathroom areas were fresh and accommodating, the food was wonderful, the other guests were fun to visit with, and the hosts were welcoming, delightful, inspiring people. We came away with heads full of new ideas and good feelings of personal connections.

The Milkweed Mercantile is an amazing place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and find a quiet place with amazing food and amazing hosts! Even if you aren't into the "green" lifestyle, you should stay here for the tranquility and amazing food. The Mercantile is eco friendly and so much more. One dinner we had a chocolate pecan pie from scratch a la mode and it made me weak in the knees.... My mouth waters still thinking about it. Alline and Kurt were amazing hosts that met our every need and even turned down our bed when we were at dinner. Everyone at the Dancing Rabbit were friendly and had incredible stories of how they all wound up at this eco village. We will definitely go back for the great food, the peace and quiet, and the friendly faces around every corner.

My husband and I have visited Dancing Rabbit before, but this was our first stay at the Milkweed Mercantile B&B. It was a wonderful experience all around! The owners, Alline and Kurt, were wonderful hosts and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience, and we plan on a return visit soon!

I selected Milkweed Mercantile Eco Inn specifically because I wanted to get an idea of what it was like at Dancing Rabbit Eco-village. Since I have followed this community online, and knew about their environmental covenants regarding building materials and resource use, I was expecting to 'rough it' just a little. Ha! If this is roughing it, I wanna rough it forever! This isn't your typical B&B and for that I say THANK YOU! The Mercantile Eco Inn is a great sneak peek at life in an environmentally friendly eco-community, and you give up nothing during your stay. Cheery, no-pressure breakfast, free wi-fi, excellent meals available on request, an impressive variety of IPO beers, as well as places to chill out, read a book, or enjoy the sites and sounds of Dancing Rabbit, capped off by as much (or as little!) interesting evening conversation as one desires before heading off to a warm comfy bed. I felt a little sad and almost 'homesick' when I departed after a 4 night stay, and THAT'S never happened at a B&B before. I suspect I'll visit again.

We stayed 2 nights at this B&B which is located in Dancing Rabbit Eco-Village, and exemplifies all the principles of intentional and sustainable community living. Do not expect an en-suite bathroom! But understand that water conservation is one of the core principles, and so flush toilets and multiple drains are luxuries that this community considers unaffordable from the earth's standpoint. Having said that, the composting toilets are odor-free and easy to use. Aside from toilet paper, other paper products are replaced with cloth alternatives. The B&B doubles (triples) as a cafe and general store, which makes for a great buzz, with neighbors dropping in for a beer or coffee at the bar (just a counter, really). Our room was spacious and homey, with a great bed and high-quality bedding. Breakfasts were very generous and delicious. Other meals are also available, with all diets catered for, and consisting of local, organic food as much as possible. Go here if you are interested in how sustainability can work, if it would make you happy to know that the lights in your room are powered by wind and solar, and to meet wonderful, friendly people who are trying to make a difference for the environment while living wholesome, fulfilling lives.

Stayed four days at Milkweed Mercantile Eco Inn Bed & Breakfast at Dancing Rabbit Eco-village in northeastern Missouri. Kurt & Alline were amazing, friendly, and accommodating hosts. At the last minute my daughter and her fiance decided to join me for part of my stay, and Kurt and Alline made them both feel every bit as welcome as if they'd been expecting them all along. The B&B itself is straw bale construction and solar powered, and the food is conscientiously sourced, much of it locally. If you're interested in learning about ways to live that are sustainable and satisfying, you absolutely want to make it a point to journey to Dancing Rabbit and the Milkweed Mercantile B&B.

The Milkweed Mercantile Eco Inn is a straw bale building that demonstrates how to achieve a high quality of living with a very low environmental impact. The rooms are beautiful and generous and benefit from a private lounge shared with the other guests only (maximum 4 others). The breakfasts are exceptionally good with fresh tasty and varied food. The Mercantile is run by the most friendly, helpful and interesting couple who have chosen to set up their business within Dancing Rabbits, an ecovillage inhabited by a group of good humoured, sociable and adventurous individuals. If you are into sustainability this is a must, if you are not it is still well worth it for its setting within nature, the community feeling and the hotel itself. Paola, Oxford, UK.

text: During the month of June – grad season for the majority of high school students – the number of alcohol-related collisions is at its highest. What's more, young drivers, aged 16 to 20, account for the highest number of impaired drivers at 34 per cent. With a rise in impaired driving across B.C. and tougher impaired-driving laws, BCAA believes it's important to lay a foundation for today's students to make responsible choices regarding alcohol, drugs and driving in the future. Prom dresses and tuxedos, hair-do's and corsages are often times higher on the priority list than making plans to celebrate responsibly. That's why BCAA supports high schools which choose to hold dry grad celebrations which provide a safe, drug- and alcohol-free environment where students can celebrate the milestone of graduation with their friends. The BCAA $6000 Dry Grad Video Challenge gives students an opportunity to help raise funds for their Dry Grad celebrations and encourages them to create and share a message against impaired driving. Need help planning your Dry Grad event? Check out Life Starts Now – How to Plan a Dry Grad (PDF), a guide from the Province of British Columbia.

Chris Mackowski's Spotsylvania post from last week brought up a few questions as to what should be interpreted and how should it be interpreted. As I was walking to work this morning, I noticed a clump of interpretive signs in Pittsburgh's Strip District.
The one that caught my attention is below. It is a sign interpreting a parking lot. Why is a parking lot important? Is it more important than a battlefield? Obviously the group who installed the sign thought it worth the $2,500-$3,000 to install the sign. I believe this is a great example of what Chris was getting at with his post: what is important and should be interpreted.

I lay here next to Bob, fully satiated with my head resting on his chest. I listen to his heart still rapidly beating in the afterglow of our first time making love. Bob had this night planned out perfectly, it was so romantic. He cooked dinner for me and we ate under candlelight. While I did the dishes Bob went upstairs to prepare the bedroom, though I didn't know it at the time. I was finishing up when I felt his strong wrap around my waist and then he whispered in my ear. "I have a surprise for you upstairs." He lifted me up bridal style effortlessly and carried me up the stairs. As we approached the bedroom I could smell the scents of roses. He opened my bedroom door it was filled with candles and red rose pedals strewn across the bed. It was amazing. Not just the atmosphere either. Bob definitely wasn't that fifteen year old boy I coerced into having sex all those years ago. He did things to me that Gerard has never done and though my body is spent and sore there is something still missing. He has his arms wrapped around me and gives me a little squeeze. I look up at him and smile. His hands softly ran down my jaw line then he moves in closer to kiss me. It's just a small peck. He smiles again and says, "I love you."
I sighed happily, "I love you too."
We were laying in bliss just holding each other when we heard pounding at the front door. We looked at the clock and it was just after one in the morning. Who the hell could it be?
"If Toro and Christa got into another argument I'm gonna fucking kill him." I couldn't help but smile at his frustration.
I threw on a pair of shorts and a tank top, while Bob just threw on some pajama bottoms. "This better be fucking important," he spewed, as we made our way down the stairs.
There was more pounding on the door. "Who is it?" Bob asked gruffly.
"Please open the door," pleaded the woman's voice from the other side.
Bob opened the door and there stood Sarah Howell and Emily. They both looked distraught. Emily ran into my arms and I held on to her for dear life. I could tell something huge happened here.
Sarah then looked at me and the tears flowed from her eyes. "I'm sorry for what we put you through." She turned to Bob, "especially you."
"Mrs. Howell what are you talking about?" I asked.
She looked down at Emily and I got the hint and took her upstairs to her room.
I laid her down and I could see that she was trembling and looked scared. "Can you tell me what happened?" I asked softly.
She just hugged me and held on crying. She never said a word before she rubbed her eyes. "I want to go to sleep."
"Okay we'll talk about this in the morning," I said. I started to shut off the light and she asked if I could leave it on. She never did that before.
"How about I leave the door open a little and leave the hall light on?" I asked.
She thought about it and then nodded yes. "Bob will be up to say goodnight."
She shook her head furiously, "Please no."
"Okay. Do you want me to stay with you until you fall asleep?"
She nodded her head yes. She scooted over to make room for me. I wrapped my arms around her tiny frame and before long she was asleep. I quietly left the room and made my way down stairs.
Sarah Howell was in the kitchen sitting at the island slowly drinking what I assume was Herbal tea. I remembered the calming affect it had on me when I showed up on Bob's steps so long ago.
I knew Bob was done with being courteous when he blurted, "What the fuck happened tonight?"
Sarah explained the whole story how Lawrence had been doing this for a while, that it was in fact she who was physically abusing Emily. She just couldn't keep her temper in check. She always hated herself afterwards but tonight she realized she was no better than her husband. Tonight she knew that Bob and I would be better parents to Emily.
"Whatever papers you need me to sign I will."
She headed towards the door when she was done. "You can come by and pick-up Emily's things tomorrow."
"Where are you going?" I asked the torn woman.
"I'm going to finally do the right thing and throw that bastard in jail."
As she left Bob and I just looked at each other. We weren't sure what to say, was this nightmare finally over. Suddenly the tears overcame me. After all these years I have my baby back. Bob wrapped his arms around me and though I know we have a long road ahead of us for the first time in years I feel at peace.
Narrator's POV
Gerard woke up suddenly he couldn't get this feeling out of his system. He felt that something major was happening and he felt torn. He felt sad but at the same time at peace he couldn't describe it but only knew it had something to do with Alyssa. He got up and lit a cigarette looking out at the landscape of the latest city. New Jersey was only a week away but he felt the need to be with Alyssa so badly. He knew he wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. His mind was swarming around how he was going to find his way home but most importantly back to her arms where he belonged. He dealt with it the only way he knew how, he took out a pad of paper and started to write.
The hospitals halls were silent except for the clunk of the police officers boots. The doors to post op opened and Lawrence Howell walked out still in his scrubs.
"Lawrence Howell," the taller officer said. Lawrence nodded, "Put your hands against the wall and spread your legs."
"What's the meaning of this?"
"Just do as I say and then I'll explain."
"You'll hear from my lawyer if you do not tell me right now."
"Mr. Howell we can do this the easy way or the hard way. My preference is the easy way."
Lawrence indignantly did as the officer said. The smaller officer patted him down, then brought his arms around back and handcuffed his wrist.
"I demand to know what this is about!" screamed Lawrence.
The taller officer took out a small piece of paper and started reading, it was Lawrence's rights. "Mr. Howell you are under arrest for the underage rape of Emily Howell."
"What the hell makes you think that?"
"There was an eye witness and earlier today your daughter was examined by a doctor. The evidence collected should corroborate with the eyewitness story."
Soon after Sarah left the house Bob and Alyssa called Joanna. Joanna instructed them to get Emily to the emergency room as soon as possible for a rape examination. Joanna then turned around and contacted Judge Patterson for an emergency hearing telling her everything that was happening.
By ten o'clock the parties met in a courtroom where papers were to be signed for final legal custody of Emily. Sarah signed had earlier signed the document giving up all rights to Emily.
"Are you sure about this Mrs. Howell?" asked Judge Patterson.
"Yes your honor, neither my husband nor I have the right to be anything to her. We have failed her in the worst way."
"Mrs. Howell though I'm disgusted by you and your husband's treatment of this child, I do commend you for in the end doing what is best for her. I understand that you are charged for the abuse of Emily and what happened here will not go unnoted."
"Mr. Bryar I will grant you full custody of Emily Howell. She is to start therapy as soon as possible and social services will be conduct weekly visits regarding her well being."
Bob spoke softly, "I have a question your honor?"
"Go ahead Mr. Bryar."
"Because of everything that's happened here, would it be okay if I take her back to Chicago? The department of social services there can follow up. I just want to get her far away from it all."
Judge Patterson turned to the children's advocate in the courtroom. "Would this be an acceptable arrangement?"
"We'll contact the state agency in Illinois."
Bob couldn't look at Alyssa he knew she would be standing there in shock. Since the night he found her strung out he knew if he got Emily they couldn't stay there. Slowly he was arranging things back there via his mother. He had an apartment all set and once they were there permanently he would start looking for a house.
"Good luck Mr. Bryar I wish you all the best. Take good care of your daughter. Court is adjourned."
Alyssa was fuming as Bob and Joanna walked by her, like she never existed. She followed close behind and when they got to his jeep she grabbed his arm and spun him around. "You're not taking her anywhere." Alyssa screamed as she pointed her finger at his face. "We had a deal."
"Yeah we did Lys but you fucked up, remember?"
Alyssa bowed her head in shame. Yeah she fucked up all right, all for someone who didn't give a shit about her.
"Lys I never wanted you out of Emily's life. I wanted to ask you in definitely a more romantic setting than the parking lot of a courtroom. Come to Chicago with us?"
"Really Lys what do you have here? We can rent out your parent's house if you want to keep it, or better yet let Ray and Christa live there. Come with me to Chicago and raise our daughter. I don't think I can do it alone especially right now. It's back the way it used to be. I didn't even do anything and she's scared of me."
"When do we leave?" asked Alyssa.
"A week from Sunday okay with you?" Bob said with a half smile.
Alyssa smiled weakly and through her tears she shook her head and spoke softly, "Yes I'll come with you. And you'll see in time she'll be okay once she realizes you're nothing like Lawrence Howell."
"I hope so." Alyssa wrapped her arms around Bob, and held him tight as reassurance. Bob looked down at her and smiled "You're going to love Chicago."
Gerard looked at the schedule in front of him. Maxwell's in Hoboken a week from Saturday and he knew that there was things that needed to be set for that show. First and foremost for many reasons to get back his best friend and lead guitarist. Mikey was right about how about how he would have reacted if he knew the truth. He also wanted to thank Ray for being there for Mikey when Mikey thought he couldn't. There was also something else he knew Ray might even help him with where he stood with Alyssa.
As the week wore on, Bob, Alyssa and Emily were starting to pack all their things that were going to be shipped to Chicago. Bob noticed a newspaper ad, "Coming off a Successful National Tour New Jersey's own "Splitting Hairs" will be playing at Maxwells on Saturday night. Pre-sale tickets will be $15 and door tickets $20. Come join us as we welcome them back. Part of the proceeds will be going towards the Patrick Morrisey Foundation. Bob crumpled the paper not wanting Alyssa to see the ad. "Honey," cried out Bob, "It's getting nippy in here I'm gonna start a fire."
Without waiting for a response Bob made his way to the fireplace lit the newspaper and through it in.
Ray Toro was sitting in what used to be his practice room staring out his window. He missed the feeling of his fingers flying through the fret board. Christa looked in quietly and saw her boyfriend and noticed a tear rolling down his cheek, as she walked in the room to talk to him she noticed the advertisement for "Splitting Hairs." She walked up to the chair and crouched next to him, next she took his hand and squeezed it. He turned to her and softly kissed her forehead. He turned back to the window and continued to stare out. Christa got a chair and joined him, nothing was said as nothing needed to be said.
It was Thursday afternoon when Ray heard his door bell rang. He opened the door and no one was there just a guitar case with note attached. "Meet us at the practice space in an hour." Ray opened the case and there was his guitar that Bob sold a few months back. Entwined in the strings was a picture of the band, he couldn't help but notice that Matt's image was torn from the picture and replaced by a kid he knew he'd seen around.
Ray took out his phone and texted Christa. "I think I'm going to practice, I'll explain when I get home."
Ray closed the case, grabbed the handle and flew out the door and into his car. Ten minutes later he was at the studio. Even though he was early he decided to knock on the door hoping someone would let him in. That someone was none other than Gerard Way.
"I see you got my note."
"Yeah and thanks, anyone else here?" Ray said a little uneasy.
"I'll call them when we're ready. We need to talk you and I."
"Listen if you want me to apologize and say I fucked up I won't. Bob asked me not to tell anyone and I kept my promise. I always keep my promise."
"I know, I imagine that's why you didn't tell me about Mikey."
Ray put looked his friend in the eye, "He felt he couldn't talk you. He was afraid to tell you he thought he killed Patrick."
Gerard ran his hand through his raven hair, "How the hell did this get so fucked up."
"Don't be so hard on yourself we were all kids back then."
"But I knew better, I hated Bob for taking Patrick away and it was my fault. I changed and Patrick was better than that. I hated that I couldn't be that friend for him, and it was so fucking easy to blame Bob. Even almost twelve years later. But all that is changing. I wasn't with Patrick that day because I chose not to be with him. I wanted the booze and the drugs. In the end I blamed everyone I could even you and Alyssa, next to Mikey and my parents the two most important people in my life. Can you forgive me?"
Ray wrapped his arms around his best friend, "Always."

A couple of minor suggestions:
A lot of your news and intrest articles are headlined like this:
"Scrapped Princess/Polyphonica's Sakaki Pens 'Vocaloid' Work" The article in question had nothing to do with Scrapped Princess or Polyphonica other than "oh yeah, he wrote those too". I realize this is an attempt to grab eyes, however, even knowing you use that format I feel let down and iritated. It is sort of a form of bait and switch.
I would have used something like "Author Sakaki pens 'Vocaloid work' (author of prior works Scrapped Princess and Polyphonica).
The other suggestion is that when ever you provide news or reviews of a show currently streaming. Please at least say where it is streaming, better yet provide a link to the site if not to the specific show.

You know what would be cool? "Writer Ichiro Sakaki pens 'Vocaloid work'" and then when you mouseover the name, the top 2-3 titles (based on ANN's rankings) that he was the writer on would pop up. The downside would be that the news crew would have to adopt a sort of standardized article naming scheme to get it to work automatically. Also, that might be harsh on the servers if a story gets a lot of views.

I buy 2-5 BDs a month (and I either answered '4' or '5' for the question), but most of the time they're all imports from Japan rather than US releases.

|I see that ANN is only interested in people who buy 12 or more DVDs / BDs per year ~ "divide how many you buy per year by 12" doesn't give a number 1 or bigger for everyone who buys DVDs or BDs.

I think ANN is great. I like all the news and interest articles. Another important part of ANN is the personalities. The people that work for ANN or provide reviews or other commentary are as equally important as the actual content itself.
True there is always room for improvement, but you guys and gals are doing a great job, and it makes ANN a required daily visit.

I too had to put 0, simply because I buy maybe 3-4 box sets a year--unless I'm supposed to count each disc in the box set? I know the fraction thing will be changed for next year's survey, but maybe it could be worded to clarify how to handle box sets?
I wanted to throw my two cents in and say that aside from being a convenient place to get all my anime and manga news in one place, my favorite aspect of ANN is the sheer amount of experience and knowledge in the staff. Answer Man has always been one of my favorite columns on the internet, and ANNCast is the only podcast I listen to. I still go back and refer to the interviews with Geneon and ADV staff members after their respective collapses. I feel like your contacts in the industry allow you to provide a service that no one else can, which is why I keep coming back.

Oh god yes... Some of those headlines are downright irritating to read. But just to be clear, I feel like this one is perfectly fine: "Zero no Tsukaima Author Yamaguchi to Leave Hospital", because obviously the article is about the person and NOT about another of his or her creations (which would make the headline probably more confusing to read than it should).
That being said, I've been reading the site for almost 10 years now and I still love the place. But I have to admit that, as a whole, it didn't evolve as much as I would have liked. I love the new columns (The Stream was a great addition for example), but ANN changed so little in recent years that now it does feel a bit old (at least when compared to other anime sites, Crunchyroll being the most obvious/recent example).
Not that I would dramatically change everything here, but I'm REALLY looking forward to an eventual layout change (which Tempest kind of hinted to), and I strongly hope it's not going to be some minor tweaks. Visually (and navigability-wise), I feel like ANN is due for a major shake-up.
And since my survey is filled already, and I totally forgot to add Fandom Post as one of my favorite sites, I'll just post here that it's my #3 after ANN and A-P.

In response to some of the other criticisms, I'd like to throw my two cents in and say that I love ANN's encyclopaedia feature. As well as news, it's my favourite thing about the site. The only complaint there is, as has been mentioned elsewhere, the lack of truly comprehensive coverage, mainly in the more obscure shorter unlicensed manga from less popular manga magazines. I'd estimate a good third of my manga entries on MAL are not on ANN because of obscurity. But I understand the reasons behind it.
I would like to see a few less articles on games not related to anime/manga franchises, but I get the fandom crossover and can live with it.
In regards to streaming services, I don't do that and couldn't care less. And I agree with the point that Anime News Network is a news site.
In regards to the survey, I hope the results are helpful and illuminating. Keep doing a good job, guys.

Hi Matt,
Did you get anywhere with this? We don't have to do it very often, but an automated process would make it a little less painful. You missed a step by the way: rename the zip to reflect the Capita case number.
TBH it wouldn't take much to knock it up as a batch file: 7-Zip has good commandline options and although FileZilla's are rubbish, PSFTP's seem fine.
Next time I have a spare few hours, i.e. probably never, I could also do with automating the process of moving our live SIMS data over to our SIMS test/training server.

|Complete your path to enlightenment... or not.
This achievement can only be obtained while playing as Michael and involves a very long process of tedious missions and monetary donations. To begin, pull up your in-game cellphone and access the internet. Type in "Epsilon" in the search bar, click on the first website that comes up, and complete the Epsilon Program Identity Evaluation on the homepage. As soon as you quit out of the internet, there will be a new Strangers and Freaks mission on your map in Raton Canyon. Approach the red truck there and watch the cutscene that ensues. Following this cutscene, Michael will receive an email informing him to donate $500 to the Epsilon website in order to unlock the next mission.
These purchased cars will be sent directly to Michael's garage. If you do not have the cash for these three vehicles, all five can be found throughout the city of Los Santos (if you need further guidance, the video below shows these vehicle locations starting at 2:31):
After delivering all five vehicles to the Epsilon Garage, you will need to complete another short mission. After this, you will need to make TWO $5,000 donations to the website for the next mission to appear, which tasks you with buying the Epsilon Robes from their website for $25,000. You must now wear the robes for 10 straight days, so return to Michael's house and simply sleep for 10 days straight in order to speed this up. Once this task has been completed, you will receive a text from Jimmy Boston asking you to go Fort Zancudo; complete the next mission there. Following this, proceed to the next Epsilon icon when it appears on your map and make sure you are still wearing the Robes. Talk to the crew there and they will inform you that you need to wander 5 miles in the desert. Distance covered is tracked onscreen above your radar after every 0.1 mile.

Rumor: iTunes "More Popular" Premium Songs Go Up To $1.29 Each On April 7th
Ugh. How weak. While rumors can be both good and bad, this is definitely bad. As if iTunes doesn't make enough money as it is. Do they really need to increase the price of popular songs to $1.29?? Thankfully I don't listen...

and most of all, love.
always ask.
" Sometimes you can't let go of the past without facing it again. "
Gail Tsukiyama, The Samurai's Garden (via thatkindofwoman)
(Source: simply-quotes)
For women who are tied to the moon, love alone is not enough. We insist each day wrap it's knuckles through our heart strings and pull. The lows. The joy. The poetry. We dance at the edge of a cliff, you have fallen off. So it goes. You will climb up again.
You rare girl, once again, you have a body that belongs to no lover, to no father, belongs to no one but you. Wear your sorrow like the lines on your palm. Like a shawl to keep you warm at night. Don't mourn the love that is lost to you now. It is a book of poems whose meters worked their way into your pulse. Even if it has slipped from your hands, it will stay in your body.
You loved a man who treated you like absinthe, half poison and half god. He tried to sweeten you, to water you down. So you left. And now you have your heart all to yourself again. A heart like a stone cottage. Heart like a lover's diary. Hope like an ocean."

" I want you to know that it is not always easy to love me. That sometimes my chest is a field full of landmines, and where you went last night, you can't go tomorrow.

But still, you touch me anyway. "

By Christy Millweard - bio | email
CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - Friday night at midnight is an important deadline for area seniors. It's the end of open enrollment for Medicare.
Open enrollment began on November 15, and ends December 31. Ruth Dockins, with the Southeast Area Agency on Aging is worried seniors don't realize how close the deadline really is.
"Monday is too late," Dockins said.
So far she estimates they have enrolled more than 600 Missourians into Medicare plans during the open enrollment season. But, Dockins is worried about all the people they haven't seen.
"The majority of people do need to change plans every year because the plans change....the last plan that a person joins is the one that they're going to be stuck with for the next year," said Dockins.
The reason she's worried? Usually, the Southeast Area Agency on Aging is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. But tomorrow, it will be closed. So if you haven't already enrolled in a new Medicare plan, you might have to do it via phone or online, by tomorrow at midnight.
The phone number is 1-800-MEDICARE.
The web site, is www.Medicare.gov
"If I were in that situation I certainly wouldn't wait, I wouldn't take any chances because if you're out, you're out," said Dockins.
Dockins says if you need to make changes, you need to have your physical Medicare card with you.
"There's a couple other dates on your Medicare card that you need to know," said Dockins.
Dockins says you also need a list of your medications, the size or milligram amount, and how often you take the medication. She says even if you sign up tonight or tomorrow, the plan will still go into effect Jan. 1. But with that late enrollment, she says there will be a problem.
"For the past couple weeks I've been telling people, now you probably aren't going to get your card by the first of January...and we give them a paper that says Enrollment Request Received and I tell them to hang onto that until they get their card," said Dockins.
Dockins says with that paper, you can still get medications until your card comes. She says next year, the dates will be earlier in the year, from October 15, to December 7 in order to get Medicare cards to people before plans go into effect on January 1.
Dockins says one important thing to note, is the police called Advantra Rx Premiere. She says if you had this plan in 2010, it will end Dec. 31. If you don't enroll in a new plan, she says you will be without one all together. Dockins says this is Advantra Rx Premiere, not Advantra Rx Premiere Plus.

You Never Learned A God Damned Thing2 Reviews
Gerard's having second thoughts...
I had been having my doubts about this since the phone call. I mean, I was a lot different from last time Bert and I spent any amount of time alone. What if he didn't like me like this? What if he thought I'd turned into a pussy and wasn't worthy of his time anymore? I tried to convince myself that it wouldn't happen- but the worry was still there.
I wasn't worried about drugs and booze; contrary to popular belief amongst My Chem fans, Bert never forced drugs and alcohol into me. He never made me take anything. That was my choice. All Bert did was supply me with the stuff and take it alongside me. I was sick of people thinking my fuck ups were his fault.
I jumped out of the car and walked up to the front door before my stupid second thoughts stopped me. I knocked three times and the door opened. Bert smiled at me. "Hey, man," he said softly. "You okay?"
"Not really," I sighed.
"Come on in and we'll talk," He stepped aside and let me in. "You want some coffee?"
"Please," I smiled. Bert disappeared into the kitchen for a few minutes then returned with two cups. He handed one to me and then sat on the couch, insisting I do the same.
"So. Tell me again what happened?" He asked. I took a deep breath then explained to him all over again.
I was crying by the time I finished. Bert held me so my head was resting on his chest. His shirt got soaked but he didn't seem to care. "Poor Gee," He said. There was a pause then. "I always told you Frank was a total asshole."
"He's not usually like this," I sighed.
"He must be an ass to believe you'd be capable of that," He kissed the top of my head. "You'd never hurt anybody on purpose, would you?"
"No," I sighed.
I hated myself for it, but I had the feeling that Bert was right about Frank.

Chapter 16 (Once Prince Charming)1 Reviews
Brynn shrugged her shoulders and sympathetically stared at her once prince charming now wilting.
The next day was Saturday and Brynn, deciding to finally embrace the warm air, hooked Max to his leash and walked outside. With calls from Zoe to "be back in 30 minutes or else" Brynn left the inhospitable "home" house. Brynn thought about how her circumstances in the last week had somehow become worse. She had deceived the man of her dreams, lost her mom's bracelet, and lastly received the news to not expect her father home 'til Thanksgiving. Brynn was starting to lose faith...faith in ever being really happy.
She crossed the street and ventured down an unfamiliar block. Max tugged on his leash pulling Brynn farther from the place she called home. It wasn't her home really. She would never call it that. Living with Zoe, Clair, and Cher was anything but home. It was a nightmare. In fact, it was…but Brynn's thoughts stopped there because Max gave a tremendous tug and sent Brynn flying forward face down on the front lawn of a careless homeowner. Max's leash slipped through Brynn's fingers, but she didn't care her face felt flattened. She pushed herself up halfway silently cursing and rubbing her face.
"Whoa! Are you okay?"
The voice came from above Brynn and she didn't even have to look up to know who it belonged to, but she did. And of course, it was Brendon.
"I'm fine," she stammered climbing to her feet. She self-consciously clamped her hand over her nose certain it was in some distorted shape after her fall.
"Is your nose hurt?" Brendon asked giving Brynn a confused look.
Brynn suddenly realized how stupid she probably looked with her hand clamped on her nose like a leech. "Oh yeah, fine," Brynn said carefully removing her hand.
Brendon smiled giving a grin at her behavior. Brynn mimicked his only hers was painful due to embarrassment. Once Brynn looked away she saw Max sitting obediently at Brendon's feet.
"Max!" Brynn scolded grabbing his leash and pulling him back to her.
Brendon laughed. "Yeah sorry, I guess he saw me sitting outside and ran over."
"Um, yeah," Brynn said not having any other answer to the comment.
They stood facing each other falling into an uncomfortable silence. This was so awkward! Brynn thought. Why as Ann she could talk to him fine, but now…now it was just painful to have his attention.
"Um," Brendon said breaking the cricket symphony. "You're Roz's friend." Brynn smiled. He remembered that at least. Maybe she hadn't been as invisible as she thought. "It's Brittany. Isn't it?" Okay she spoke too soon.
Brynn gave another forced smile. "Close, Brynn."
"Oh yeah Brynn," he said putting on a sorry expression. Brynn looked away tangling her fingers in Max's leash. Now would be a good time to go. "Um, I'm Brendon," Brendon said suddenly.
Brynn looked back at him shocked he had spoken again when it was the perfect opportunity to get rid of her. "Yeah, I know," Brynn answered.
Brendon laughed. "Yeah I suppose to whole school knows me after my embarrassing banner to the girl who never showed."
Brynn cringed. He was standing too close. Brynn nonchalantly rocked back. "Uh yeah, but I guess banners don't get every girl."
"What do you mean?"
Brynn was surprised at his quick question. She had meant it as a joke, but was he really looking
for an answer. "Well," Brynn started noticing she had Brendon's full attention. "Sometimes girls like more subtle gestures."
Brendon nodded so Brynn continued. "How much do you really know about his girl? Did she seem the flamboyant, take me away kind of girl?"
Brendon arched his eyebrows and looked away. "Well all I really know is her favorite song and American Idol."
Brynn caught herself smile remembering their conversation.
"I remember her hair was light brown and reflected in the moon," Brendon turned back to Brynn and she suddenly became very warm. "I remember her green eyes and how they pierced into me." Now Brynn felt like running. Why had she steered him here. He was going to realize it was her, and then what'd she do? "I remember her smell." Brynn stepped back. Brendon didn't notice though. He was staring right at Brynn now. What had she done? It seemed like hours they stood there, two people and a dog on a front lawn, one trying to escape the other. Suddenly Brendon turned away and sighed. Brynn sighed too releasing her tense muscles. "Who am I kidding?" Brendon said scaring Brynn. "I'll never find her." Brynn felt a sinking hit her stomach. Why was she doing this to him? Just tell him. No! She couldn't. If he didn't know she was standing right in front of him, she wasn't going to help.
"You'll find her Brendon," Brynn said trying to shed hope where she could.
Brendon looked back at her and gave a laugh. "Yeah there's like 300 girls in just the senior class, and I don't know what grade she's in."
Brynn shrugged her shoulders and sympathetically stared at her once prince charming now wilting. "I'm sorry," she said having nothing better to offer. Brendon acknowledged it and turned away.
"I gotta go," he said. "See ya Brynn." The he returned to the dapple house closing the door behind him.
Brynn stood on the lawn feeling Max whimper with restlessness by her side. What was she doing?
