Shipa

Harry Clearwater is dead. Paul smashed the Rabbit's headlight in. Jacob wonders how he's going to make Bella feel better.

read here as well! 'shipa' means black, 'qahla' means sun, and 'pititchu' means moon in Quileute.

Jacob looks up at the lamppost of the cemetery, the hazy light just barely casting a reflection underneath him, and counts the moths that fly to it. Five, twenty, thirty. He loses count after forty-something, his head starting to hurt. 

Bella gets out of the passenger side of the Rabbit, glaring at him when she brushes past the busted headlight. Not my damn fault. Stupid Paul. Jacob doesn’t even blame him. He knows Paul’s anger gets the best of him, but sometimes Jacob wishes Bella’s punch actually did some damage to his tense, smug face. Stupid quick regenerative healing. Sure, Paul’s face can heal itself, but Jacob is stuck running around La Push trying to find a junk spare bulb for his headlight somewhere. Paul’s empty promises saying he’ll fix it aren’t even convincing enough to give Jacob a sliver of hope. At least Emily bakes him consolation muffins. 

He slips his fingers through Bella’s. He’s really starting to love how casual, simple the move is even if it makes his heart skip a beat when he feels her soft skin against his calloused hand. 

“Shall we?” he says, his little manic chuckle at himself catching Bella off guard. She reaches for his other hand and grounds him to a stop in the gravel road. 

“Are you really okay, Jake?” Bella asks, squeezing his hand. She does that sometimes, making sure she can still feel him. Feel the blood and adrenaline in her own hand, too. “You don’t have to do that, not for me.”

Jacob shrugs. “I’ve been here before, so it helps. But if you want me to cry and get snot on your shirt, I can do that.” 

That makes Bella crack, just a little. “I’m sure you’re a pretty crier.”

He smiles. But he’s not sure he’s cried since his transformation, even out of pain. Bella leaving him would probably do the trick. “Everyone has different ways of coping with loss. I guess it’s easier with the pack to joke around if I want to so I’m not moping around all the time.” Bella looks up at him and he winces, pinching himself. “Sorry! I didn’t mean you, I just meant— dammit. You know what I mean.”

Bella brushes him off and lets him lead her into the grass, the long blades tickling the ankles of their jeans. “Our telepathy is weird, isn’t it?” 

“If only you were a wolf and I could actually hear what you’re thinking.”

“Like a pest you can’t swat away from you. Sounds so fun,” Bella deadpans. 

“It’s not so bad.”

Jacob leads Bella down on the grass with him. “Here it is,” he says.  The grave hasn’t changed since he visited last week with Seth. Harry Clearwater. Father, Husband, Brother, Elder.  

He watches Bella from the corner of his eye, chewing on her lip. She spins the silver ring on Jacob’s finger — the one she gifted him when they started talking again and she began to learn about the tribe’s history. Engraved on the outside is the word shipa, the word for black in Quileute. She concentrates on the words she can’t read on the gravestone, asking for a translation.

“Back to the wolf telepathy thing. How is Leah doing?” Bella asks, still worrying her lip between her teeth. 

Jacob frowns. The last time he heard Leah, she was diving off of the La Push cliffs. Her thoughts weren’t matching her launches into the water; it was like she wanted to jump and never come back up. His body tenses up at the memory of Bella’s blue lips and her still body washing up to shore. 

“Not good. She blames herself for his death and for Seth’s premature transformation. It’s hard not to listen sometimes, like you obviously feel sorry but you’re also morbidly curious.” He sighs. As much as Leah is a downer, he does feel sorry for her. If only there was a way he could get rid of the pain for her, the whole pack would do it in a heartbeat.

A warm spring breeze flitters through Jacob’s hair. He hasn’t cut it again; the spikes on the top are growing out into strands again, the back of his neck no longer shaved, though he does miss the feeling of Bella’s fingers against it. He knows Bella likes his hair long; it’s the only reason he decided to grow it out. 

“What are you thinking about?” Jacob nudges, bringing Bella closer to him. Her head easily finds his shoulder, her cheek pressed against his cotton henley shirt. 

She turns her head away from him. He catches her chin between his fingers and forces her eyes back to him. She studies her lap, fidgeting with the sleeve of her shirt. “There’s real loss in this world. Real people who have left us, like Harry. It makes me feel so pathetic and stupid that I was so wrapped up in my own that wasn’t even real. I mean, yes, he left, but he’s still here. Living and breathing — as close as it gets, anyway. I wasted weeks, months on it. So stupid,” she mutters to herself. 

Jacob doesn’t know what to say. When it comes to things like Bella, they come naturally. He decides to be himself and that, for some reason, works for her. But this — this might be out of his depth. She’ll have to meet him halfway. 

“Oh, Bella. Don’t say that.” His hands twitch to hold her face, but he holds back. “It’s not a competition, or a right or wrong situation. You can only grieve or miss someone in a way that feels right to you, that makes you feel better. Will you let me help you? How can I make you feel better?”

He pleads to her like a god, a deity. She only stares at him, an unreadable expression on her face. “Please?” he tries again. 

His back hits the ground, a firm hand on his chest, Bella hovering her face over his. He blinks and she’s sweeping down to kiss him, her lips moving and gentle against his. Pleasure runs through him, his hair a sprawled-out mess in the grass. 

He laughs into her mouth, his breath hot. He can trace the blush on her cheeks with his fingertips, shaped faintly into two hearts. “In the cemetery, really, Bella?” 

“It’s pretty on-brand for me.” She kisses his bottom lip, running her tongue over to soothe the accidental nip to it. Jacob finds it so endearing he almost asks her to bite it again. 

He kisses her again, just in case it’s the last time Bella kisses him. “Did that help you?” 

She laughs, thinking it’s a joke, but he’s serious. His thoughts still haven’t found themselves back to him yet, his post-kiss haze clouding his consciousness. “Very much so.”

“Huh,” he says, a little confused. He would have stopped being a scaredy-cat a while ago if this was the case. “If that was the solution, why did you wait so long?”

Bella blushes. Her mouth twists to the mouth, stuck in thought. “I didn’t want to risk losing what we have.”

He strokes her cheek. “Don’t worry, honey. We’re still the same. Just Jake and Bella.” He pauses, smiling to himself. “Qahla,” he says. He points to Bella, the sky darkening behind her. “Pititchu.”

Recovering from a storm is a multifaceted process that involves more than just cleaning up visible damage. Post-storm property restoration requires assessing structural integrity, addressing water damage, mitigating mold growth, and restoring essential systems like electricity and plumbing. Here’s a breakdown of the key stages involved:

1. Initial Damage Assessment

After a storm, a thorough inspection is critical to assess the extent of damage. A professional restoration company will examine the roof, windows, doors, and exterior walls for structural damage. They will also inspect the interior for water damage, including hidden moisture that could lead to mold growth.

Key areas that require assessment include:

2. Water Removal and Drying

Water damage is one of the most common issues after a storm, especially in flood-prone areas like St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater. It’s crucial to remove standing water quickly to prevent further damage. Restoration teams use industrial-grade pumps, vacuums, and dehumidifiers to dry the affected areas thoroughly.

Standing water can:

3. Mold Remediation

Mold is a serious concern in post-storm restoration, particularly in humid environments like Largo and Palm Harbor. Mold can begin to grow quickly in damp areas, often in hidden spaces like behind walls or under floors. Restoration teams will use specialized equipment to locate and eliminate mold to prevent long-term health risks and property damage.

Mold remediation involves:

4. Structural Repairs

After assessing the damage, the next step is making structural repairs to restore your property to its pre-storm condition. This may include repairing or replacing damaged roofs, siding, windows, and doors, as well as fixing internal structural issues such as damaged walls or weakened foundations.

Key repairs may include:

5. Restoration of Essential Systems

Storms often disrupt essential systems like plumbing, electricity, and HVAC systems. Restoration professionals will check for issues like:

6. Final Cleanup and Sanitization

The last stage of post-storm restoration is the final cleanup and sanitization process. This involves:

This step ensures that the property is safe, clean, and ready for use again.

Southern Infrastructure Megastructure Gothic

@eightyonekilograms, in a post about why levees and dikes won't save Florida from Sea Level Rise:

dams and levees won't work because southern Florida is a limestone sponge and the water will just come up through the ground— but with a trillion dollars of other people's money to spend, they'll figure out something. That's what real estate investors are banking on, and they are probably correct.

NOAA has a Sea Level Rise map, which you can jack all the way up to 10 feet above "Current Mean Higher High Water", and then scroll around the entire coastal United States to see what gets flooded.

Pensacola is fine; they know what storm surge looks like from being in the splash-damage radius of every time New Orleans gets fucked.

St. Pete/Clearwater loses its waterfront, but retains significant infrastructure inland.

Naples and Cape Coral lose their entire downtowns, but the inland suburban sprawl survives. I guess they'll need to convert some of those tract houses into neighborhood-scale commercial.

Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and indeed most of Miami-Date and Broward Counties are awash, and become the basis of new coral reefs for the Northern Florida Keys.

But West Palm Beach is okay.

By Congressional mandate, NASA adapts the Cralwers to work as amphibious vechicles, in order to continue using Shuttle-derived hardware at Pad 39, with the new Sea Launch System rated to withstand salt spray inside the engine bells at launch.

SpaceX stops leasing in Texas, where South Padre Island is completely underwater, and buys up an entire subdivision's worth of now-island land in South Miami. The neighbors won't complain about concrete dust if there are no neighbors!

Saint Augustine dies, but Jacksonville is like Pensacola, and picks up its skirts to avoid the puddles.

Trillions of dollars of dikes aren't the answer. The solution will be to jack everything up ten feet, from roads to ports to homes. If you can't adapt to life in a saline intertidal wash, you'll move inland.

No, the real issue will be whether they can build a seawall around DC's National Mall and National Airport that won't offend the sensitivities of climate-denying Congresscritters.

Hello once again! New day, new fish! And what a fish we have today!

Today’s Catch of the Day is the Tambaqui (*colossoma macropomum*), otherwise known as the Black Pacu, Black Finned Pacu, Giant Pacu, Cachama, Gamitama, and sometimes simply Pacu, which is the common name referring to a variety of omnivorous freshwater fish of the *serralsalmid* family, local to South America, which are related to piranha.

The Tambaqui is the second heaviest scaled freshwater fish in South America, after the arapaima, and can reach up to 3.6 ft in length and 97lbs, although you’re more likely to see them at about 2.3 ft long and at about 60 lbs. Their similar shape to piranha has led to many misidentifications of juvenile Tambaqui as their carnivorous cousins; the Tambaqui is tall and narrow, with a large arched back. Their most distinct divergence from piranha can be noted at their teeth, which are flat and molar-like, adapted for crushing seeds and nuts. The lower half of the fish is mostly black, with the front half ranging between a gray, yellowish, or olive hue. Tambaqui sit alone as the only member of the genus *colossoma*, though the members of the *piractus* genus were included in the past.

The Tambaqui is native to the Amazon and the Orinoco River basins, ranging from nutrient rich whitewater rivers such as the Putumayo, to blackwater rivers such as the Rio Negro, to clearwater rivers such as the tributaries of the Madeira. They are commonly kept in aquaculture worldwide.

They are largely solitary animals that spend the 5-7 month duration of the local flooding season in flooded forests, moving out to main river channels and floodplains lakes as the water levels drop. The aforementioned months spent in flooded forests comprise their non-breeding season, while their breeding season begins with the start of the next flood season, between November and February During this time they gather in large numbers and spawn in whitewater rivers along grassy rivers and shores with wood strewn about. Tambaqui are long-living fish, known to live between 40 and 65 years old! Not exactly what you picture when you think of a sexagenarian!

These tremendous fish are listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List, meaning that while they are not in major danger of extinction, we must be mindful and diligent in our stewardship of them and their habitats, especially as the Amazon is continuously harvested and damaged for resources. Please, if possible, do what you can to ensure the longevity and conservation of the Tambaqui and their homes, at the link below and in many other places!

Lastly, of course, the Tambaqui places as a Platinum-tier fish on our fishy rating system!

River's Bounty. Freshwater fauna and flora reproduce rapidly and thrive in the waters within 1 mile of the riverine's lair. Foraging in these waters yields twice the usual amount of food.

Spirit Guidance. Tracks appear along the banks of the river within 6 miles of the riverine's lair. The tracks lead to potential shelters and safe passages across the river's waters, while also leading away from areas that the riverine prefers to remain undisturbed.

If the riverine dies, the flora and fauna return to normal levels, and its river dries out over the course of 1d10 days. All other effects cease immediately.

Protect Your Property with Affordable Sinkhole Repair Services in Clearwater, FL

Living in Clearwater, FL, has its perks—sunshine, beaches, and beautiful weather. But being in a sinkhole-prone region comes with its own set of challenges. Sinkholes can wreak havoc on your property, threatening safety, stability, and peace of mind. Luckily, affordable sinkhole repair services are here to save the day. Whether you're dealing with small warning signs or a full-blown ground collapse, professional repair services can restore your property and protect your investment.

Why Affordable Sinkhole Repair Services Matter in Clearwater, FL

Clearwater’s unique geology makes it a hotspot for sinkhole activity. With its limestone-rich foundation prone to water erosion, sinkholes can form out of nowhere. Heavy rainfall, fluctuating groundwater levels, and even construction projects can accelerate this natural process. If left unchecked, sinkholes can lead to:

Structural damage to your home or business

Reduced property value

Expensive repairs down the line

Serious safety hazards

That’s why timely and affordable sinkhole repair services are critical. These services not only fix the problem but also prevent it from escalating, giving you peace of mind.

Spotting the Warning Signs of Sinkhole Activity

Sinkholes don’t always announce themselves with dramatic collapses. Sometimes, the warning signs are subtle. Keep an eye out for:

Cracks in walls, floors, or foundations – These can indicate shifting ground beneath your property.

Uneven floors – If your floors feel like a funhouse, it’s not a good sign.

Dips in your yard or driveway – Visible depressions could be a red flag for sinkhole activity.

Doors and windows sticking – Misaligned frames are often caused by ground movement.

Plumbing issues – Leaks or disruptions in water flow could mean underground trouble.

If any of these signs sound familiar, don’t wait. Reach out to a trusted sinkhole repair expert to assess the situation.

How Sinkhole Repair Services Work

Professional sinkhole repair involves more than just filling a hole. It’s about stabilizing the ground, reinforcing your property, and ensuring long-term safety. Here’s a closer look at the methods used:

1. Grouting

Grouting is one of the most common techniques. It involves injecting a cement-like material into underground voids to stabilize the soil and support structures above.

2. Soil Stabilization

This method strengthens weak soil by adding materials like chemicals or cement mixtures, improving its load-bearing capacity.

3. Compaction Grouting

For larger sinkholes, compaction grouting works wonders. A thick, cement-based material is injected to compact and solidify the surrounding soil.

4. Void Filling

Smaller sinkholes often require filling with a mix of soil, concrete, or other stabilizing agents. This prevents future collapses and restores ground stability.

5. Foundation Reinforcement

If your foundation has been compromised, repair specialists may reinforce it to ensure the structure remains safe and sound.

Why Clearwater Needs Affordable Sinkhole Repair Services

Clearwater’s limestone-rich terrain, coupled with frequent rainfall, creates the perfect storm for sinkholes. Here’s why affordable sinkhole repair is crucial for property owners in this area:

Protect Your Property Value: A stable property is a valuable property. Timely repairs prevent sinkholes from devaluing your investment.

Ensure Safety: Sinkholes pose serious risks to people and structures. Professional repairs eliminate these hazards.

Save Money Long-Term: Addressing sinkholes early is far cheaper than dealing with widespread damage later.

Peace of Mind: Knowing your property is stable and secure lets you sleep easier at night.

Benefits of Choosing Professional Sinkhole Repair Services

Opting for expert help comes with its own set of perks:

Expert Assessments: Professionals use advanced tools to diagnose the problem and recommend the best solutions.

Tailored Solutions: No two sinkholes are the same. Repair plans are customized to your property’s unique needs.

High-Quality Results: Trained specialists ensure repairs are durable and effective, protecting your property for years to come.

Quick and Efficient: Modern techniques minimize disruptions, letting you get back to your routine fast.

FAQs About Sinkhole Repair

1. What causes sinkholes in Clearwater, FL?

Sinkholes are primarily caused by water eroding underground limestone, creating voids that eventually collapse.

2. How much does sinkhole repair cost?

Costs vary depending on the size and severity of the sinkhole. Affordable sinkhole repair services offer tailored solutions to fit your budget.

3. Can sinkholes be prevented?

While not always preventable, regular inspections and maintenance can help detect and address potential issues early.

4. How long does sinkhole repair take?

Most repairs take a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the problem.

5. What materials are used in sinkhole repair?

Common materials include cement, grout, and soil-stabilizing agents like polyurethane foam.

Stump Grinding Is a Necessary Step Following Tree Removal to Enhance Aesthetics and Maximize Space

Stump Grinding Is a Necessary Step Following Tree Removal to Enhance Aesthetics and Maximize Space https://ift.tt/qIFpHGb Stump Grinding is a necessary step following tree removal to ensure safety, enhance aesthetics, and maximize space in your yard. It is a process that involves using a machine to grind the stump and its roots down to below ground level, leaving a hole that can be filled with soil and planted or laid to grass. Stump Grinding is best left to the professionals, as it can be dangerous for the average person without the proper equipment and knowledge. Stumps are unsightly, obstructive, and can prevent you from enjoying the full beauty of your landscape. They also become tripping hazards, are a breeding ground for insects, and can cause damage to lawnmowers and other equipment. Stumps also take up valuable space that could be used for planting or a number of other landscaping and construction projects. By having the stump and roots removed through a professional Stump Grinding service, you can reclaim the area for other uses. In addition to enhancing the beauty of your landscape, a professionally-ground stump is less likely to attract unwanted pests such as termites and carpenter ants. In addition, it reduces the chances of new trees sprouting up from the remaining roots. Leaving an unattended stump can also create tripping and safety hazards, and it is a perfect nesting spot for rats and other rodents. A professional Stump Grinding will eliminate all of these problems by eliminating the root systems and making it harder for sprouts to develop. When choosing a Stump Grinding service, look for one that has modern machinery and is well-maintained. It is also important to ask about their insurance and licensing, as this can protect you in the event of an accident or damage during the process. Burke says that, before the Stump Grinding starts, a professional will evaluate the site to determine the size of the stump and the extent of its roots. Then, he or she will clear the area to ensure safety and put up a safety barricade. During this stage, it’s also important to check for underground utility lines, such as water or electricity. Once the stump has been ground, the final step is to remove all of the debris and clean up the site. In some cases, the team will plant grass for an additional fee if requested by the client.

Essential Roofing Repair Techniques Every Homeowner Should Know

Maintaining your roof doesn’t just enhance your home’s appearance; it safeguards its structure and efficiency. With advanced repair techniques available today, homeowners can take a proactive approach to roof care. Here’s a look at key repair methods that keep your roof in top shape and help prevent costly future repairs.

Detecting Leaks Early

Spotting leaks before they escalate is essential for roof maintenance. Advanced leak detection now utilizes infrared moisture scanning, which reveals hidden leaks by identifying trapped moisture within roofing materials. This precise method allows homeowners to address issues promptly, avoiding extensive repairs and safeguarding the structural integrity of the home. Detecting leaks early helps ensure your roof remains resilient and dry year after year.

Modern Sealants for Enhanced Protection

Roof sealing has evolved significantly with the introduction of high-performance sealants. Today’s options, such as polyurethane and silicone-based coatings, provide an extra layer of defense against UV rays, water, and extreme weather. Silicone coatings are especially effective on flat roofs, creating a seamless barrier that resists moisture and minimizes wear. Regularly applying these advanced sealants can extend your roof’s life, reducing the frequency of repairs and protecting your home from the elements.

Reinforced Shingle Replacement

Replacing damaged shingles goes beyond aesthetics; it strengthens your roof’s resilience. While asphalt shingles remain a popular choice, impact-resistant alternatives offer improved protection against hail and high winds. When replacing or reinforcing shingles, roofers remove the damaged pieces and install more durable options, which fortify the roof against future damage. This technique is especially beneficial in storm-prone areas, adding both durability and peace of mind.

Expert Flashing Repair

Flashing is often overlooked, yet it’s vital for a well-sealed roof. Positioned around vents, chimneys, and skylights, flashing prevents water from seeping through vulnerable areas. Advanced flashing repair involves examining each section, removing corroded or damaged pieces, and replacing them with high-quality metal. A secure flashing barrier keeps water out and improves energy efficiency by sealing out drafts. Ensuring your flashing is intact protects your roof and maintains your home’s comfort during extreme weather.

Achieving Long-Term Roof Health

Using these advanced repair techniques can make a world of difference in maintaining your roof’s durability. By staying proactive with modern repair methods, homeowners can extend their roof’s life, minimize costs, and avoid frequent repairs. Consulting with a professional ensures these techniques are applied correctly, so your roof remains resilient against time and the elements.
