The liquor is nearly gone before I'm out of the shower. I step out, clad in a fresh t-shirt and pants, and the smell hits me like a wave. An uneasy feeling fills my chest, swelling over the edges of the rope which binds my thoughts, my feelings, my everything.
Dad is sitting at the small desk in the corner of the room, looking haggard and tired. There's an empty bottle in front of him, another one half-empty in his hand.
"You wanna tell me what the hell you were thinking back there?" he growls. His voice is heavy and deep, not in a comforting way.
The words I was afraid are stuck in my throat, so instead, I say, "I wasn't thinking."
"Bullshit. You knew exactly what you were doing and now look what you've done,"
Anger bubbles in my throat, past the unspoken (never spoken, ever) I was afraid of you, for me, I was afraid. Because I was trying to help him, not myself, and running away was obviously not in the agenda, and sometimes things just happen.
"Would you rather I had told you the truth?" I say heatedly.
His eyes narrow at that, and his hand grips the bottle tightly. "I had it under control."
I feel the sharp response tingle on my lips before the rope loosens just enough to let it out. "Oh yeah, really controlled there, Dad,"
His eyes glint dangerously. "Don't take that tone with me."
The rope hasn't had a chance to tighten in control yet, so my reply is instant. "Don't blame me for shit that's no one's fault."
Dad stands up with swiftness I didn't think he'd have with all the alcohol in him.
"You need to shut up long enough to realize you're a mistake. You made the wrong decision, kiddo. It's high time you stop letting your brother placate you, and start owning up to your own screw-ups!"
"Aaron would've done the same thing!" I shout, and I know I shouldn't but he's making me so angry and the tightness of the rope isn't tight enough to keep it all inside.
"No," Dad says firmly, and the word is almost a snarl. "Aaron wouldn't have left. Aaron would have followed my orders,"
"Well I'm not Aaron!" I yell fiercely.
"I think we all know that by now," he replies lowly. "Because one of these days, it's gonna get one of us, that ignorance, that stupidity,"
"You don't mean that." You don't, you can't,hecan't…
"I do," he says without missing a beat. "Sooner or later, you're gonna have to start acting like a man, like me. If you don't, that'll be your fault. This just proves it." The liquor bottle on the table glints from the crack of the window shades where the moonlight is streaming through. And I know he's not himself, but the rope is tight around my chest and it's squeezing out logic to make room for emotion.
"…start acting like a man…like me." The thought punches the air from my lungs.
"No." My voice is icy cold, leaving no room for persuasion. But inside, a tiny crack, just like the one in the window shades, is left open. Where words and thoughts and blame can seep through because it has always been there and always will be. I know how to manage it now, but there's always that crack to suck in all the fault and censure, and somehow without it I feel empty.
Dad stiffens at the outright defiance in my voice. "Excuse me?" The words are slightly slurred, but dangerous nonetheless.
Perhaps more so.
"No," I repeat, voice raised. "I will never be like you." There's a poison and hate in my voice that I've never used before and it scares me.
But not as much as the sudden jerk of Dad's hands on my shirt, scrunching the material and lifting me off the ground. Not by much, but enough. My hands automatically come up to push him away, and thanks to the whiskey, rum, and what-the-hell-else, I manage to plant my hands firmly on his shoulders.
It was stupid and I know it from the moment my hands begin to push, but his fingers are wound so tightly in my t-shirt and the rope is bound so tightly around my lungs. I can't think and can't breathe, so I just shove.
The hands that propel me back aren't the hands that helped me take my first step or clapped me on the shoulder or held me so tightly in infancy. These hands are strong, but not in the way I've come to know my father. These hands are baleful and unrelenting as they tighten their grip on my shirt and, with the force of a grown man but the effort of an indifferent spectator, drive me back, off my feet, into the wall behind me.
It wasn't meant to be especially harmful (not that the liquor has a firm differentiation there anyway), and wouldn't have been had I not been standing directly in front of the lamp fixture jutting out of the wall.
Such a small, insignificant thing, easy to ignore, simple to overlook. But the protruding glass cone hits the back of my head like a rocket and I wish I could see stars but all I see is a weary face, animated by anger, framed before me like a grotesque portrait of who I'm destined to become (Oh God, please let that be the Ghost of What May Be and not of What Will Be).
The rope frays as pain explodes from the back of my skull to the front, down my neck, through my face and makes the return trip more than once. The edges of the face blur, but I can still see the anger, palpable, like a living thing only released by the glinting bottle on the table and the empty containers in places I can't see.
"You should've listened to me and now look at how many will suffer." The voice has lost its biting edge, but none of its intensity.
And suddenly, he's right there, inches from my face. His eyes are glassy and hard, like diamonds. Full, dark diamonds glinting with anger and brokenness. There's hate swimming in the brown depths, but I'm afraid to think of who it's for.
He leans in close, those dark diamonds still glinting, shooting daggers at me, fraying the rope even further.
"It was your fault," he exhales roughly. His breath smells like whiskey and rum and regret. "We can't stay. We have to leave. And anyone that's left behind to suffer from your failure?" His grip on my shirt loosens as a large, dirty finger pokes the center of my chest. "You have to live with that."
The last words weren't hard and dark like his eyes, but soft and regretful like the breath slipping out of his mouth in measured puffs. I can't bring myself to look away from the long lines of his face, the stubble on his jaw, the small scar above his eyebrow. The throbbing at the back of my head fades as I picture the glassy eyes instead vibrant, and the smell more sweat and leather instead of rum and regret.
And no matter what my brain tells me or my eyes register…despite the increasing throb in the back of my skull and those dark eyes full of hate…All I can see is Dad. In the driver's seat, at a motel desk, in a bar drinking away. And doing it all with those dark eyes. All I can see is the man who used to pick me up on his shoulders and call me Tommy.
And even though those eyes are still dark and full of hate, they're so much more full of pain that I'm too sad to be mad. He may be drunk, but he's not crazy. He's not stupid.
He's not lying because he's two-thirds full of hard liquor and can't.
Which means he's right and it's my fault, but if I'm honest, I knew that all along.
"You were a mistake, Tom," he says. His hands aren't as tight on my shirt anymore. "You were a mistake and you made a huge one and now you have to live with that." The dark eyes lower briefly.
I don't really know what to say to that, so I don't say anything at all. I'm not even sure if he's talking to me anymore and my head hurts and I just want to cry, but I'm too grown-up for that now.
And just like that, he's gone. His hands let go, leaving me to slide to the floor. Through my foggy vision, I can see him pick up the keys on the table, open the door, then slam it shut. He's gone, probably to either pick up more booze or spend a few hours at the nearest bar, and while the small voice of conscience in the back of my head (battling past the spiking, stabbing pain, making it worse) tells me to go after him (someone could get hurt, he could get in an accident, he's not himself), I can't move.
Because the pain in my head is losing the battle to the pain in my chest. That merciless, ripping pain that comes from inside, from places you just don't talk about. The slam of the door echoes in my mind, and the rope around my chest is tightening because what if he doesn't come back. What if I've fucked up so bad this time that he's just gone and Aaron isn't here and I'm left with the fact that it really is all my fault.
"Come back," my voice cracks. The horrid, rough sound cuts through the room and is swallowed by silence. Tears spring to my eyes (keep them in, never let them spill, never let them out), and I hear the same voice whisper, "Please."
I don't know who I'm talking to; all I know is that I don't get an answer.
A sudden shot of pain in the back of my head reminds me that I should probably get off the floor and check the damage. My legs are shaking slightly as I stand. So are my hands.
I cringe hard as I see the blood slick and wet on the sharp edge of the protruding lamp, and even harder when my eyes fall on the blotchy streak from when I slid down the wall. Moisture slides down the back of my neck and I'm pretty sure it's not sweat.
First things first—clean the lamp and wall. Can't have some maid coming in and seeing the stains, bringing up questions. I stumble into the bathroom (everything is still shaking and I wish it'd stop) and grab some towels.
Making my way back to the wall, I bunch up one of the towels and begin to wipe things down. The blood comes off the glass lamp fixture easily, but when the towel touches the wall, it just smears. I'll have to scrub it with some water.
This time, it's up to me to clean up my own mess, without help from Dad or Aaron or anyone. On one hand, it feels good because it was my fault to begin with and I can make up for it now, fix it. On the other hand, it's lonely and I really want Dad to come back and say he's sorry and it'll never happen again, and for Aaron to appear and tell me everything will be ok.
But neither of those things is happening, so I just keep scrubbing.
When I'm done, I have a small pile of towels stained with red and a little brown with the dust and grime from whatever was caked on the wall and light. There's one clean towel to spare, and feeling the drying blood stiffening in my hair, I figure I should take care of that, too.
The bathroom is small and has dampness to it, but there's a mirror, a toilet, and a shower, so it serves its purpose. The mirror is on the tall side, though, so I have to sit on the countertop and twist my body to see the back of my head.
It looks worse than it is. Blood is matting down the brown hair (Dad says too long, but I act like I don't care what he thinks) and leaves a trail across the back of my neck, seeping a little onto my t-shirt. It's starting to dry now, but still needs to be cleaned up.
I wet the towel and hiss as it wipes the clotted blood from the wound. When I finally get it clear enough to see, I note that the wound itself is only about an inch long and not too deep. But then again what do I know I am a mistake after all. Coupled with the swelling goose-egg just starting to form, it's very tender to the touch, so as soon as I clean all the blood away and stop the bleeding, I lower the towel and sigh.
The lingering pain is still clouding my mind, but I manage to bundle all of the towels together in my arms. I figure, for now, under the bed will have to do. It's late and I'm tired, and the bed looks so appealing.
I shove the dirty towels under the bed without another thought, a hidden secret, a filthy reminder of stupidity.
The thought and memory makes my head hurt even worse, and before I even know what's happening, I'm grabbing the cell phone off the night table (Dad took the keys and left his phone, what if something had happened and I'd never know? Or what if something happened and he'd never know?).
I pick up the phone and hold down the speed-dial because in that moment, I don't know what else to do, and when I don't know what to do, I know exactly what to do.
Talk to Aaron
The phone rings once before he picks up. "Tommy?"
"Yeah," I answer.
There's a curious pause before Aaron says tentatively, "Everything ok? It's almost one in the morning, kid."
"M'not a kid," I mumble. (Can never be a kid, don't think I ever was).
"Yeah, whatever you say…Seriously, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Everything. "Just wondering when you'll be home."
I can hear Aaron trying to muffle a yawn, and realize that he probably hasn't gotten much sleep, if any. I probably woke him up from one of his few rest breaks.
Because I want you, because I need you, because I'm bleeding and it's because of Dad and not some…, and I'm having trouble telling the difference unless I think really hard.
"No reason."
There's a decisive silence on the other end, and in that moment, I know Aaron's leaving and coming here as soon as his bag is packed. It's just something I can tell, but part of me doesn't dare to hope. The other part whispers weak, wrong, disappointment and doesn't want Aaron around to see that.
"Get some sleep, Tommy," his voice says through the line. "I'll see you soon enough."
Not soon enough, never soon enough.
"See you later, Aaron."
The dial tone in my ear sends a dull ache through my skull.
. . .
He's back quicker than I thought he'd be. It's early the next morning by the time he shows up, which means he spent all night driving, probably didn't even stop for food.
By the time he shows up, I've changed and showered, laid in bed for a few hours (couldn't sleep, but it was nice to lay down for a bit), and gotten up again to pack for the next hunt.
Dad hasn't said a word to me since stumbling in late (even later than usual), and I can't tell if it's through guilt or disgust. I'm afraid to find out, so I remain silent as well.
But silence is impossible when Aaron's around.
"Heya, Tommy," he says cheerfully, striding through the door and dropping his bag. He looks tired but content, which is nice because you can sleep off tired.
You can't sleep off fucked-up, and disappointment, which is fine because—like I said—I couldn't sleep last night anyway.
"Hey," I reply. It's too quiet, too suspicious, so I clear my throat and try again (even paste on a smile for the cause). "What took you so long, rat head?"
Aaron smiles back and I consider it a success.
"Shut up, brat, you're lucky I came back at all."
I am. So lucky. I want to say thank you, but I don't.
Dad walks up to Aaron and claps him on the shoulder. His hands are rough yet gentle, nothing like they were last night.
"How'd it go?"
Asking about the job, always asking about the job. I'm not surprised, but it still makes me a little sad.
Aaron and Dad talk for awhile about the job, and I just sit on the bed because for some reason, when they do that, I feel out-of-place, like a stranger at the party of a friend-of-a-friend. I'm there, but I don't want to be.
My head still aches from last night, and an especially hearty laugh from Dad (only Aaron ever makes him laugh, never me) sends a throb of pain through it. I should re-check the wound, haven't done that yet.
They're still talking, so I figure it's safe to slip into the bathroom for a few minutes.
Another inspection in the too-small mirror reveals an ugly abrasion and slightly swelled bruise, but only when I move my hair out of the way. Positioning the locks back into place around the wound, I sigh and lean on the sink counter. The lights around the mirror are so bright, too bright (throb throb throb through my head).
"Tommy!" Dean's voice is too loud, and I try to hide the wince.
"Shut up, Aaron, it's six-thirty in the morning," I grind out.
I shouldn't have said it because next thing I know, a swift hand arcs toward my head, smacking it playfully.
It doesn't feel playful.
Aaron's headslap sends a jolt of agony through my tender skull and this time, I can't hold back the wince, or the cry of pain. I bite my lip after it squeaks out, but it's too late.
Aaron's eyes go from teasing to worry. His brow furrows and before I can stop him, his hands are examining the back of my head. It takes about 3 seconds for his fingers to find the rough wound, and his eyes instantly go hard.
"What the hell is this?" he says. The concern is thinly masked.
"It's nothing, Aaron, chill out."
And what a shock, Thomas Fence fails once again.
"Was it a bully? Did Dad clean you up? Concussion?"
I try to lie and say yes, but the rope is too tight and won't let me. Aaron is still talking, pushing, demanding, unrelenting like Dad's hands, and it's all just too much.
"It was my fault, okay!" I find myself shouting. The rope is looser now and I can't stop. "He was right, I deserved it anyways."
The moment the words leave my lips, I know I said the wrong thing. I can see the wheels turning, Aaron putting two and two together (because people joke that I'm the smart brother, but he's so much smarter than I'll ever be, and stronger and kinder and just better), and I can't decide if I want to take them back or not.
Aaron's voice is small with caution. "Dad did this?"
Mine is small with shame. "It wasn't his fault."
The crestfallen look on his face (even though he tries so hard to hide it) makes me feel as if I've stolen his favorite action figure and pointed out the hidden crack that he never saw and probably never would've seen had I kept my mouth shut.
It takes me about a minute to tell him everything, from the orders to the rum to the shove to the dirty towels shoved under the bed.
He just looks at me the whole time, trying so hard to keep his face impassive. But he's Aaron and he's always been protective, hot-tempered, impulsive, quick to emotion, even if he never shows it.
And being the person that knows him better than anyone, even himself (especially himself), I see all of his slip-ups. I see the glint of anger in his twitching jaw and the raw sadness in his narrowed eyes.
"Stay here, Tommy," he says. He stands up.
"Aaron," I begin, but there is no real argument in my words.
He cuts me off anyway, but not in a way that makes me flinch or look down sheepishly. "Stay here," he repeats.
The door opens and closes again, and I draw my knees closer to my chest. My head is throbbing, but I can still hear the muffled sound of Aaron's voice.
I can't hear what he's saying and I'm not sure if I want to. It goes on for a bit, my head eventually pounding hard enough to drown out the voices (or maybe they just got quieter?).
When Aaron comes into the bathroom a few minutes later, all is silent and his lips are pinched, which I know by now means he's angry. But then he sits down and just looks at me, in a way he doesn't usually, with a horrible mixture of love and fear, as if he's afraid I'll wisp away on a breeze and leave him behind.
But I'd never do that to him. I wish he knew that.
His hazel eyes are still on me, roaming my face as if it were a rare and coveted thing, something really special that scares him to think of giving up.
Only Aaron could ever look at me like that; only Aaron ever had. The rope around my throat tightens while loosening its grip on my emotions. Because only Aaron can make a fuck-up like me feel so goddamn special, just...just because.
Tears prick the corners of my eyes, and before I can move to brush them away (because Fences don't cry, especially not about nothing, but what defined nothing when I was looking at Aaron and it felt like everything?), he has already leaned forward and put his arms around me. They're tight and firm, but so soft I just wanted to melt into the embrace because it makes me feel like a kid again, and when did 14 stop being a kid?
I don't know and don't care when I can smell gel and leather and love all at once.
And when he finally releases his hold, it's slow and careful till I'm at arm's length and he's looking me dead in the eyes. I can tell that he's examining them to see my emotion at this point. I try to turn my head and look at away but he keeps my head steady, not letting it make any movement.
"Aaron," I start again
"No words," he says as he gently slides his hand through my hair avoiding the injured spot. Then he gets up, walks behind me, guiding me to our shared room of our latest motel. Once we enter the room, he pushes me gently to the bed then turns to close the door and lock it.
I look at him wide eyed, wondering what he's going to do or say next.
"Tommy grab your stuff," is all he says making his way to his bed.
"Huh?" is my confused reply.
"We are leaving now, grab your things, Tommy," he says
I look at him in a daze of all the things that I thought Aaron would say, it was not that. Aaron looks up to Dad, for his advice and everything, I never thought he would, well pull a me and run away. I can't say anything; I am in such a shock.
"Tommy," Aaron says again. It still doesn't pull me from my shock.
"Tommy," he repeats this time, when I look up he's kneeling in front of me with his hands on my knees.
I finally look up at him.
"You need to do this little brother. Okay? I promise nothing will happen,"
I nod in reply, finally getting up from my spot on the edge of the bed.
I move next to my bed and bend over to get my bag underneath it when my eyes come face to face with the blood soaked towels and all the memories come flooding back at once and the rope is constricting my lungs, it's getting harder and harder to breath.
"Buddy it's okay, breath alright Tommy," Aaron soothes behind me
The rope slackens slight, allowing me to breath.
I nod looking away from the towels, grabbing the bag then I stand up placing it on the bed.
I start my packing. I walk around the room taking apart drawers, cleaning off the small table, pulling out clothes from the closet, taking my hidden items from between the mattress and then jamming it into the duffel.
I zip it up.
"Where's your backpack?" he asks
I point to the corner, he grabs it and walks back over taking my duffel sliding it over his shoulder.
"Tommy stay in here till I get back,"
I nod as he walks out the door, locking it within before he closes it.
I don't hear my father's voice so he must be either past out on the couch or out getting more to drink.
Pretty soon there's a knock on the bedroom door, I jump.
"Tommy open up," Aaron says from the other side. I walk over and unlock the door.
He walks in then bends down in front of me, I can't look him in the eyes, and I mean I deserved this didn't I?
I stare at an odd stain on the carpet, trying to make myself look fixated.
"Tommy," he says as he cups my chin turning my face upward to face him.
I try to avert his eyes but it's near impossible.
"Come on," he says he gets up and guides me to the front door.
Just as he goes to reach for the door handle, it slams open.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?!" Dad slurring words yell at us. As the fresh bottle of hard liquor sloshes around in his hand.
His words reverberate around in my head causing it to ache. I can feel the rope slowly begin to make its presence known.
Aaron puts a protective arm out in front of me blocking Dad from me.
"You're protecting him?" Dad laughs, "The Mistake!?"
His words don't hurt but the volume of it is causing my head throb ever so slightly.
"Of course! Dad I will always protect Tommy," Aaron replies taking a protective step forward.
"He deserved it you know, it was his fault," Dad replies the hard liquor is having him tell the truth.
Deserved it… my fault…deserved it…my fault the words are repeating in my head as the rope tightens it hold around my skull, causing the pain heighten extremely. I'm too distracted by what's going on inside my head to pay attention to what's going on.
I am in such a daze that I don't see the hands coming at me, till I fall back and hit my head on the too rough to be carpet. I hold in my cry as a jolt of absolute agony surges through me. But the rope is constricting everything making it hard to see and hear.
All I know is that somebody is picking me off the ground and taking me out the front door of the motel. Right now my mind is in swirls of pain and confusion so that all I feel is the wisps of cool air. And that's when I smell it the gel and leather and realize that it's Aaron, who is now placing me in the passenger seat of Nine C, his car. I can feel him buckle me in.
I still don't see anything and it not because of hitting my head. It's the rope that's closing around everything causing the rim of my vision to start to blink inky darkness.
I feel the car start and everything blurs past me.
I don't realize when we stop.
. . .
"Tommy, come on," Aaron says as he unbuckles me.
I slid myself out of Nine C.
I notice that the rope has loosened its deathly grip.
He grabs my forearm and guides me forward, as I stare at the fading black asphalt.
When I feel a rush of air, I look up.
And I immediately regret it, because I am met with a flurry of bright lights that seem to resound off the walls.
"I need help please," I hear Aaron say loudly. I don't understand who he's talking to, the lights are blinding my vision.
I try to focus on anything but the lights. I am finally brought out of that state when I feel a large cold hand my very thin shirt. My vision begins to focus and I make out a face of a man with a concerned look. He is wearing a long white, doctor's coat.
"Son, what happened?" I hear the man ask
I don't hear Aaron's response.
The nice man turns my body so he can see my back, I comply easily.
I feel him touch the cuff of my neck, then we works his way up and then he touches wound.
It feels like an extreme burn and I can't keep it in, I let out a cry and lurch forward.
"Tommy!" I hear Aaron shout.
"I need a gurney now!" I hear another voice shout.
I can't open my eyes the pain it too much for me. I hear squeaking wheels, then I am lifted off the ground and placed face down on something that is thin and hard, but my face hits pillows, soft.
"Don't worry Tommy," are the last words I hear before I feel a prick and something go over my face.
I don't have a sense of what is going on because before I know it my world fades to inky darkness.

6 Amazing TV Shows You Will Never Get to See
Subscribe to our newsletter
In a perfect world, experienced producers would create quality TV pilots which would then be presented to an impartial body of experts who, based on complicated math equations and social surveys, would determine if their show should be made or not. Sadly, by the look of your current love life and bank account, you can easily see the world is not perfect. In this reality, the impartial body of experts had been substituted with a chimp flipping a coin, causing many potentially awesome TV shows to never get off the ground. The most egregious examples include:
Heat Vision and Jack
If this show was pitched 4-5 years ago instead of in 1999, it would not only get picked up and made before the producers had time to blink, it would be one of the most hyped and advertised shows of all time. "Heat Vision and Jack" was meant to be a comedy science-fiction series directed by Ben Stiller and staring everyone's favorite Chris Farley stand in Jack Black, alongside Owen Wilson and Ron Silver.
The plot unveils itself thusly: Jack Black is an astronaut (Hilarious!) who gets exposed to an unhealthy level of space radiation (i.e. more than zero) and becomes super intelligent. But here is the thing– his powers only work when he is exposed to the Sun's Rays, making him one of the few Renewable Energy Powered Superheroes. His catch phrase was "I know EVERYTHING!"
Owen Wilson played Jack's unemployed roommate who got merged with a motorcycle after getting hit by a very specific type of science ray or something. Together they roam the country looking for aliens or werewolves to fight, as Heat Vision and Jack. Or they would if anything more than a pilot episode was ever made.
The show would be like: "Knight Rider" mixed with "6 Million Dollar Man" put in a Comedy blender.
Korgoth of Barbaria
"Korgoth of Barbaria" had the true makings of a timeless animated classic. It was produced by Adult Swim and Aaron Springer (storyboard writer for "Dexter's Laboratory" and "SpongeBob SquarePants"), parodied the Conan the Barbarian "sword-and-magic" genre, and featured lots of gratuitous violence, sex jokes and a kicking heavy metal soundtrack.
The Story involved a post apocalyptic world where the remains of the technologically advanced human race merge with magic in a fantasy setting of goblins and dragons. In this world we meet the titular Korgoth, whose personality can be best described via a scene in the pilot episode when he rips off some fool's arm and beats him to death with it.
The cartoon would undoubtedly feature lots of this type of zany humor and over the top hilarious violence but we will never know for sure, because the series was never continued despite the fans of Adult Swim starting numerous petitions, begging for more episodes after seeing just the freaking pilot.
The show would be like: a less gay "He-man" mixed with Conan the Barbarian mixed with Metallica.
Gay Robot
It's a sad world out there in TV Land where sentient homosexual robots can't get a decent representation of their kind in the media. Humanity has long fought against prejudice not only on the streets but also in movies and TV shows, but we still refuse to acknowledge that android gays even exist, let alone let them star in their own show.
Surprisingly, Adam Sandler of all people tried to fight that by including a gay robotic character in one of the sketches on his fifth album "Shh… Don't Tell". Based on just that, a pilot for a new TV series about a homosexual bot was produced but never aired. Though there have been talks about an animated version of the show.
The story of "Gay Robot" is a pretty standard tale of self discovery and conflicting feelings, when the main character has a wine cooler spilled on him, frying his circuits and discovering he might just be batting for the other team. In this metaphor, the bat stands for a robotic phallus.
The show would be like: Futurama robots mixed with "Darma and Greg".

UH in trouble, 4-1
The Cougars got a run back in the bottom of the first, but the Aggies have answered with another monster blast to increase their lead to 4-1.

Houston Regional: Johnnies strike back (Tied at 1)
Kelley worked himself into a two-on, zero-out jam in the third and nearly escaped unscathed thanks to a sterling defensive play by Padron on a slow roller to first base. But after Padron gunned down Hopkins at the plate after fielding the ball with one hand, Grantham followed with an RBI single to right that […] [Read More]
Red Bulls' Angel out for match against Dynamo
Juan Pablo Angel was a last-minute no-go for the New York Red Bulls Friday evening with flu-like symptoms. Angel, New York's marquee player, did not make it to the airport, and the Red Bulls came to Houston with 17 players, one short of a full roster. The Red Bulls will also miss midfielder Claudio Reyna […] [Read More]
Houston Regional: Cashing in … sort of (Rice 1-0)
Six more baserunners, but at least this time the Owls scratched across a run. Pardon did the honors, slapping a two-out single to left that scored Mozingo. As for Kelley, he caught a small break in the second when, with Benedetti dashing toward second with nary a look from Kelley, Anninos lined a pitch to […] [Read More]
Statement shot: Aggies take 1-0 lead
On the second pitch of the game, Texas A&M's Kyle Colligan blasted a pitch from Houston righthander John Touchton over the 400-foot sign in straightaway center field. The ball easily bounced 20 feet high off the batter's eye wall in center field. [Read More]
College Station Regional: Whose house?
Here's a different twist: The Cougars are in the home dugout – against the Aggies at Olsen Field. The Cougar fight song was even played prior to the game. I have yet to hear, "Whose House?" [Read More]
Houston Regional: Opportunity missed (0-0)
Brown, who entered the game having walked just nine batters in 85.2 innings, walked both Gayhart and Zornes in the first. So how did the Owls come away empty-handed? Well, Gayhart was erased trying to swipe second base, Padron was robbed of a single when Brown deflected a line drive up the middle to Grantham, […] [Read More]

proliferation of cars in China have global implications for climate change? An expanding Chinese automobile fleet suggests that China will become a major petroleum importer; what effect would that have on the world demand for oil? Because these issues were beyond the resources available for the study, it was only possible to recognize their importance and to leave them for examination in later studies. Furthermore, the details and costs of implementation of the committee's recommendations will require a comprehensive analysis of specific urban development patterns, market forces, public revenues, and expenditures that was beyond the scope of this study.
Many other countries have gone through a similar motorization process, though few in so short a time. Some countries provide models for coping with the economic, environmental, and societal effects of rapid motorization in cities, and others offer successful examples of rapid development of a viable, independent automotive industry. Singapore, Hong Kong, Curitiba, and Houston provide different models for attempting to control urban traffic congestion, although none of them was trying simultaneously to develop a local automotive industry. The United States, Europe, and Japan have different approaches to controlling emissions and limiting fuel consumption. The development of an indigenous automotive industry can be observed in the varied experience of Japan and Korea, and a government-industry partnership to develop advanced vehicle technology was recently attempted in the United States. Each of these experiences offers a different lesson, and some were more successful than others in achieving their objectives. Though none of them is closely reproducible in the present situation, a careful examination of their experiences will be helpful to planners in China.
The Chinese automotive industry faces significant challenges in achieving independence. In the medium to long term, the industry must adjust to the effects of China's membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO), which will allow independent foreign automobile manufacturers and importers into China for the first time and may open the domestic market to an increased volume of imports that would challenge even the joint ventures in the growing Chinese market.
Presently, China spends a smaller percentage of its gross domestic product (GDP) on automotive research than any of the automobile-exporting countries and has limited trained and capable human resources in

Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Commissioner Robert Klee this week announced that as part of the ongoing celebration of the state parks centennial, Saturday and Sunday, July 26-27, will be "Free State Parks Weekend" in Connecticut. For the weekend, all parking and museum fees will be waived throughout Connecticut's state park system.
Absentee ballots are available for the Republican Primary to be held in Newtown on Tuesday, August 12. Any qualified registered voter may vote by absentee if unable to vote in person due to any number of reasons. Special hours will also be available for those who wish to apply for an absentee ballot on Saturday, August 9.
The Annual Friends of the C.H. Booth Library Book Sale ended Wednesday, July 16, and while the final tally is not yet in, Friends spokesperson Denise Kaiser said that she is optimistic that the numbers generated this year will be comparable to last year's sale, which generated $108,000. Bills and reimbursement by the book recycling center discoverbooks.com, which takes away the very last of the books for resale or pulp, will determine the final numbers. "If all is perfect," Ms Kaiser said, both the gross and the net "should be about equal to last year's sale." Despite not knowing the exact amount raised, she said that there is no doubt that the Friends will be able to keep its annual donation commitment to the library, and be able to fund another round of the Vision Project at C.H. Booth Library this year.
Town police last week used an electronic display positioned along South Main Street at the Ram Pasture to drive home the message that motorists must make sure that they do not leave children unattended in motor vehicles in the summertime when temperatures inside vehicles can rise to lethal levels. The large black electronic display, which is on loan from the state government, flashed sequential phrases that urged motorists to be aware of the problem. The police public education campaign comes in the wake of a series of recent incidents in the state in which motorists left unattended children in vehicles in which temperatures rose to injurious levels.
A Newtown man, who is a former National Football League player accused of having illegally sold potent prescription painkillers at his home in April and May, on July 15 had his case continued to August 5 in Danbury Superior Court. Gennaro DiNapoli, 39, in June pleaded not guilty to two counts of illegal sale of narcotics. Those charges stem from a US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigation. DiNapoli, who is represented by attorney Gerald Hecht, is free on $150,000 bail on the drug charges.
Superintendent of Schools Joseph V. Erardi, Jr and Health District Director Donna Culbert are both praising a recent unanimous State Board of Education resolution encouraging Connecticut public schools to provide students with training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of automated external defibrillators.
Newtown's post 12/14 recovery and resiliency efforts are about to accelerate with the hiring of a team of mental health experts and case managers, and the distribution of funds to underwrite outreach and support programs being coordinated through several separate town agencies. First Selectman Pat Llodra wasted no time in recent weeks following the delivery of $7.1 million in federal Department of Justice grants, delivering allocations to Kevin's Community Center, Newtown's public health clinic, Newtown Prevention Council, Parent Connection, and Newtown Police Department.
Mrs Llodra said she has also set aside funds from part of the grant designated for school security and facility hardening, and has completed hiring a dedicated recovery team that is being headed by Melissa Glaser, MS/LPC. That team will soon begin its work and interacting with members of the community.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy on July 17 announced that the application process will begin next week for the next round of the School Security Grant Program. The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection will be sending application packets to eligible public and private schools beginning the week of July 21. The program was originally created as part of the historic 2013 legislation on gun violence prevention, mental health and school safety. Including the July 17 announcement, the state has made $43 million available for school security since 2013.

Oh bullshit! Never, _ever_ trust a user.
Seriously, I worked IT at a call center. The first thing you did with the machines when they came in was log in to the BIOS, disable ports like COM & USB, and set a BIOS password. If the thing was shipped to us with a floppy or cd/dvd drive (they were ordered bare but sometimes Gateway f-d up), we would remove the hardware before putting them in service. They were also imaged for whatever floor they were scheduled to be on (outsourced call center - Comcast, ATT&T, Sprint, Hughes Sat.) and out they went.
Once, a Bell South supervisor memo'd and called upper management and said he had to have USB to save and transfer reports, etc. And BOOM, a virus went through the Bell South floor like shit through a goose. That was the end of "educating the user."
Never, ever trust a luser.

This is regarding the two recent front-page articles about tolerance, acceptance, diversity and the public education of them.
I am very glad our three children our grown. I would not want to be responsible for monitoring the Internet or television programming that is available today; cell phones, texting, i-pods -- all new complications to parenting. But parents can make their job a little easier by not worrying that their children will "catch" homosexuality! Sitting in educational classes to promote understanding and acceptance, and decreased hatred, will not make your children gay -- anymore than going to the zoo will make you a giraffe! One child to benefit from this openness is the child who already knows he/she is gay and is confused and needs support. Your children were born the way they are meant to be.
It is oxymoron for moral and religious teachings to include hate, or non-acceptance of any group.
Dan Rush, former educator and family value activist, says that hate crimes should not be a reason to promote gay education in schools and that -- "hate in this world, sadly, is an ongoing thing, in all areas." So these would seem to be the exact reasons to teach understanding, acceptance and tolerance. Hate is not a family value. Education is the answer.
I speak from the experience of having a gay son. He did not choose this lifestyle. He is the person God created him to be.
Be careful who you hate; it could be someone you love.

Telia and AT&T are working with (or against as seems to be the case at times) Sprintlink about peering issues between the two backbones. Trouble tickets are open on both ends. Routing to many other locations appear to be working. In order to "find" sites, however, dialup connections need to be set for "server-assigned" DNS at the moment, rather than our prefered "specified" settings: In Windows machines, for example: My Computer / Dialup Networking / right-click Eskimo, choose "Properties" / "Server Types" tab / click "TCP/IP Settings" button: (*) Server assigned name server addresses (check) ( ) Specify name server addresses (uncheck) Some users have had luck getting to most sites (but still not our own) with the server-assigned DNS servers.

Gear Question
How does the sizing compare to the hornets?...
How does the sizing compare to the hornets? I wear a 9.5-10 street shoe and have a wide forefoot. I had to get the hornets in a 10 and they were painfully tight.
Adam D.
These shoes have a solid fit to them. They won't stretch. You could probably wear a 9 in theses. I wear 10 street shoe and have these in 9's. They will still be a comfy flat shoes once broken-in.

New and looking for advice for my 6 year old
Comments (3)
Well, it's good she is seeing a pulmonologist, it sounds like it's long over due!
Regarding the pneumonia, have she been vaccinated against it? There is the pneumonia vaccine called Prevnar 13, that is typically given to kids aged 5 wks to 5 yrs. Then there is pneumovax 23 which is typically given to people with chronic health issues ages 2-75. The pulm may want to check her immune system to see if she has any immunity to pneumonia.
Has she ever had an asthma check? It's where she blows into a spirometry device. It can be a helpful tool is testing for asthma. It may be something the pulm tries with ehr.
Is she is school? How does she do in gym and at recess?
Anne, mom to Ashton 12yrs, Jackson 10yrs, and TJ 8yrs

Has your doctor suggested doing a CT scan at all? From what you described, it sounds like your dd could have Right Middle Lobe Syndrome, which is what my DD has. That is where a portion or all of the right middle lung collapses.
There isn't a ton of info out there, but if you try googling it you'll find some stuff.
A CT scan is helpful to check for bronchiectasis, which is where the airways get streched out from the constant mucus being trapped there. My dd had repeated pneumonias in the same spot and so we finally did the bronchoscopy and CT scan and that is when she was diagnosed with the RMLS.
It's good that you ruled out CF. You could also do a basic immunology panel that checks the immunoglobulin levels IgG, IgM, IgA, and IgE. They can also give her the pneumovax shot, wait 6 weeks, and then check to see if she built antibodies to the vaccine

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 10/29/12
Several corporate sponsors stepped up to help save the San Diego Chargers the embarrassment of having Thursday night's NFL Network game against the Kansas City Chiefs blacked out locally. The Chargers said the sponsors, including the local CBS affiliate, guaranteed the purchase of enough tickets to lift the local television blackout. Those tickets will be donated to local military bases and military hospitals. The team wouldn't say how many tickets had to be sold by the deadline of 5:20 p.m. Monday, but it was believed to be approximately 10,000. The NFL Network began showing Thursday night games in 2006 and has never had one blacked out locally. The Chargers have had one game blacked out this season, a loss to Atlanta on Sept. 23. San Diego (3-4) has lost three straight games, including two in which it blew double-digit leads in the second half. Kansas City is 1-6.

Too Cute! I love bulldogs! Have 2 at home!
English Bulldog Puppy Finds Nirvana in an Inanimate Object
So any of us with furry, four-legged family members know that sometimes our dogs can be silly. Very, very silly. Whether it's a good old fashioned leg shake while getting a belly rub, or that really cute head shake and snort thing they do when you muss their hair, our pets can find true happiness in the smallest, simplest and sometimes even the most unexpected places.
This is Agnes. Agnes is an English bulldog puppy, and has fallen head over tail for a scrub brush. No, you didn't misread that, it does say scrub brush. Agnes' family bought a new scrub brush for the home, and it's quickly becoming the single best toy in this little pup's life so far. According to the video, it seems the belly rubs she gets from her family with it put this cute little pup in heaven. At one point, she decides she likes it so much, she tries to snatch it and run away!
Sometimes pets, just like people, really know how to enjoy the little things in life.

The Baltimore sheriff's department has scheduled ejectments into August and says it has no choice but to follow the old law permitting them."I would hope that ground-rent owners would be willing to work out payment arrangements, but I'm not sure there's going to be a legal process to block the ejectments," said Steven A. Silverman, chief of the Consumer Protection Division of the Maryland attorney general's office. "At the most extreme, you could have someone with significant equity in their house, and they lose the house."
Under the new law, rather than filing an ejectment lawsuit to seize a property, leaseholders will have to file a lien against the home to recover their debt. Homeowners will have 45 days to challenge that action in court. Homeowners would be able to recover any equity remaining after the debts are repaid through a settlement or a foreclosure; under the old law, a ground rent owner can seize a house through an ejectment process, resell it and keep all the proceeds. Also, the caps on attorneys fees will be lower than the caps in ejectment cases.
The General Assembly overhauled the ground-rent system after The Sun published an investigative series that showed how a small number of investors had used their extraordinary power under the law to seize hundreds of homes over back rent as meager as $24. In many other cases, ground-rent owners have extracted fees of 20 to 50 times the amount of rent owed to settle cases.
Most parts of the new law take effect today, the traditional effective day for new Maryland laws, although an emergency bill banning the creation of new ground rents took effect Jan. 22.
Against the backdrop of the looming ejectment ban, about 600 ejectment suits were filed in the first half of this year in Baltimore Circuit Court, more than were filed in any full year before 2005. R. Marc Goldberg, a Baltimore attorney and ground-rent owner who acts as a spokesman for about two dozen ground-rent owners, had anticipated a flurry of lawsuits as the law change approached. Goldberg's office itself filed 18 cases in a single day last week.
He and other ground-rent owners have contended that homeowners would refuse to pay their rent without the threat of losing their homes. "It only makes sense that if you have rights that need to be enforced, that will no longer be in existence tomorrow, that you would try to enforce them today," Goldberg said.
"I will pursue the cases to their conclusion. If the people would just pay me, then it would go away immediately."
Sen. Brian E. Frosh, chairman of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee, one of the legislative panels that considered the ground-rent bills, said he found it troubling that ground-rent owners have filed so many ejectment cases in recent days.
"They said they don't do this as a matter of course - it's very rare. Obviously, they're doing it now," he said.
Frosh, an attorney and Montgomery County Democrat, said he is not sure why the abolishment of ejectment wasn't passed as an emergency measure and put it into effect right away, as the ban on new ground rents was.
"We may have overlooked the possibility they would try to take advantage of the time lapse for the new remedy," he said. "If it turns out there's a stampede to get things filed early, then we may be looking at some injustices that could have been avoided."
Last week, the trustee for a ground-rent owner in Anne Arundel County filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the ejectment ban and a law requiring ground-rent owners to register their leases by Sept. 30, 2010, or lose them.
State officials maintain that the ground-rent measures were scrutinized for constitutionality before they were enacted.
"Our view is that the remedy was changed but not the substantive ability to enforce a ground-rent obligation," Silverman said. "We didn't take away the ability of a ground-rent owner to obtain the money owed; we just changed the way they go about collecting it. We expect compliance and a fairer system to both sides."
The executive director of Civil Justice Inc., a Baltimore legal-help group, said Friday that his group might intervene in that case to help homeowners who are facing ejectment lawsuits and perhaps even people who have lost homes going as far back as 10 years.
Phillip R. Robinson, executive director of Civil Justice, said he intends to argue that the law allowing ejectments was unconstitutional because "it results in a ridiculous windfall for the ground-rent owner."
"We're worried about the people who may have lost their homes already or are in the process of losing them," said Robinson, conceding that his argument is a long shot. "Maybe they're being charged ridiculous fees. The ground-rent owners should be careful about their tactics, because if we're successful or the state is successful, they may be forced to pay a lot more than they were expecting."

Trying something new
First time trying this on-line thing, so kinda just seeing what it's all about. A little about me: I grew up in the Bay Area but have lived in San Diego for 20 years. I love it and planning on staying here! My favorite thing about living in SD is meeting new people every day. Love to go out and have fun with friends as often as I can and the glass is always half full. I definitely work hard and play hard. That means vacations and travel are always on my radar and I try to have a trip on the books at all times. I love a great restaurant as much as I do to cook a great meal at home. I like to attend all types of sporting events (baseball/football) and concerts ( hip hop,metal, classic rock, hair bands, RB, pretty much everything but country) as often as I can. I'm not a tree hugger but will always jump at the chance to go hiking or camping on a whim too. I am very career driven while working for a beer company the last 16 years. What I'm looking for: Someone who enjoys life and likes to laugh and have fun. It's kind of a deal breaker if you are not confident in your own skin and can not hold your own in many situations. Driven professional would be ideal. Someone who likes to go out on the town as much as couch time with a glass of wine. I really don't have a type because you never know when chemistry is going to surprise you. Ok, that's a good enough start. Gimme a shout if you wanna know more. Good luck out there!
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Football, Golf, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

Sorry about the lack of feedback there lately. I have been reading all of the posts and passing them on accordingly.
Please keep sending feedback. Now that Project 2007 is out - what do you think? what did we leave out?
I want to be able to change the project file name after it has been published. Is that possible with MS PRoject 2007? I also want to be able to transfer tasks to another project.

It sure would be nice if there were a command line switch to open a Project Server project in MS Project 2007. The /s switch lets you specify a PWA path and it's possible to pass in a filename for file-based project, but you didn't provide (or publish) a switch that allows a project to be opened directly from Project Server. I sure hope I'm just not aware of the switch and you can clue me in. If not, this was an unfortunate oversight. I would appreciate some feedback.
I have just downloaded the trial version to evaluate 2007 (I currently use project 2003). The file I have is a .img file but there are no instructions as to how to load this onto my machine. Can anybody enlighten me.
If only every MS product had a site like this! Thanks - Paul - http://www.bmvpropertyleads.com
