Hooray for Hollywood! From Henry Rowengartner to Clu Haywood, how much would these well-known dramaticized ballplayers go for in the fantasy game?
April 14, 2017 6:00 am
Let's dip into why bat speed is one of the most important components of hitting, why there's more than one kind of bat speed, and which prospects might be best to target based on the nature of their swing.
Last week I kicked off this series with a primer, to which I will refer you with questions on the nature of this beast. For our first foray into the weeds this week, I was piqued by a question in my chat queue last week about the difference between bat speed and power. The latter is a topic I'll surely spend a bunch of time dissecting in this space over the weeks to come, because who plays in a dynasty league and isn't willing to trip a sibling in order to read about power-hitting prospects? For today's run, though, we're going to talk about bat speed.
It's a skill that can be on the more difficult side to identify for the untrained eye—most swings taken by professional baseball players are, after all, objectively quite fast. And it's one of those terms that even mainstream prospect reports written by not scouts will utilize frequently without much context about why it's important. Intuitively it makes sense: if you swing faster, you have a better chance of hitting a ball that has been pitched fast. But understanding how and why certain players have better bat speed than others is useful when trying to map out valuation and a long-term dynasty league strategy.

Applying PFM valuations to the My Model Portfolio exercise and testing the results against mixed Tout Wars teams.
Every March, at least a few readers ask me "Why don't you just use the PFM instead of your bids, Mike?"
Over the years, I have answered this question a few different ways. But today I thought I'd take a different approach. Inspired by a reader question last month, I decided to take the Player Forecast Manager's valuations for a 15-team mixed league and apply them to Baseball Prospectus' My Model Portfolio exercise from March. As a reminder, this is what our authors did in that series.
In the "My Model Portfolio" series, the fantasy staff will create its own team within a $260 auction budget using Mike Gianella's latest mixed-league Bid Limits for 2017. The scoring is 5x5 standard roto. The roster being constructed includes: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, 5 OF, 2 UTIL, and 9 P.
The Process
The only change I made to this exercise is that I added a second catcher to the team and removed the second utility player, since my bids are designed to mirror the Tout Wars mixed-auction format. At the end of the season, I want to test this team not against the model portfolio teams but rather the mixed Tout Wars teams.
The Offense
This is a fairly risk-averse team. Where my bid limits are somewhat cautious with Joseph and Travis, the PFM believes that they'll be solid contributors. Calhoun and Ellsbury are not the most exciting players, but the PFM thinks that they will at least contribute at the levels they did over the last few years.
The Pitching
You can't argue against purchasing Clayton Kershaw. While my bid limit sits at $42, it is admittedly a compromise with at least three separate goals: trying to spread money across a pitching staff, building in some risk because he is a pitcher, and also giving deference to Clayton Kershaw. I have no qualms with spending $50 or more on him in a mixed format.
The PFM spits out mostly veterans, which isn't surprising. A former AL Cy Young winner, a reliable-yet-aging workhorse, and a solid arm who had one poor year with the White Sox back up Kershaw at $10 apiece. This is a very strong base for a pitching staff. With a pitching staff like this, my strategy typically would be to bottom out with one dollar starters and spend $77 on the entire staff.
The Prediction
This is the section of the model portfolio where our staff came up with predictions for their teams. For a league that doesn't play out, going with a balanced team is a solid approach. Something the PFM cannot do that a human can is look for one-dollar fliers that the PFM puts below replacement level. Someone is going to get this year's Aledmys Diaz—we just don't know who that is yet.
I will revisit this team at the end of the regular season. Like any "test" of the PFM, it is far from perfect, but this is the goal of the PFM: to build a hypothetical team that is a successful fantasy franchise.

Twenty fantasy baseball experts from around the internet compete in a deep rotisserie-style dynasty league. Get tips from the best by taking a look at this periodic analysis of their transactions.
Welcome to the first edition of this year's TDGX Transactions. I'll be taking the torch from the world's foremost expert on leaping relievers, George Bissell, who did an admirable job of recapping transactions. He also had the first pick in this year's draft, which you'll find plenty of thoughts on below.
For those not already acquainted with The Dynasty Guru Experts League, it is a 20-team (40-man roster), 5x5 rotisserie dynasty league founded by Baseball Prospectus managing editor Bret Sayre back in 2014. It is intended to satisfy the deep-league needs of all, right down to just the right amount of Alexi Amarista. We roster 23 starters: C/1B/2B/3B/SS/MI/CI, along with two additional utility hitters, five outfielders and nine pitchers. We also roster seven bench slots and have 10 spots designated for minor leaguers, although a quick scan of the league finds that most teams utilize a majority of their bench spots for additional prospects. That means there are an additional 100-120 prospects that are rostered above the 200 spots reserved for them.

Attention, rebuilding teams: Fear not what early and active bidding can do for the quality of your draft.
Last weekend I partook in my respective AL-only and NL-only keeper auctions. Before we get to the takeaways, some background information as to where this year's takeaways are coming from:
After spending the second half of 2014 rebuilding in the AL and all of 2014 rebuilding in the NL, I came into 2015 fully stocked with keepers, picks, and minor leaguers with the full intention of competing for championships; ditto 2016. The takeaways from my "Keeper League Auction Takeaways" articles over the past two years have thus come from someone entering the auctions with very few players to select (I often kept the max or nearly the max number of keepers—15.)

'You go from picking top 10 four years straight to picking 104. What doesn't change is our preparation and our expectation to do well.'
Jason McLeod's first-ever draft pick as a scouting director was Dustin Pedroia, 65th overall in 2004. Since that point, in stints with the Red Sox, Padres and Cubs, McLeod has overseen the selections of talents such as Jacoby Ellsbury, Clay Buchholz, Anthony Rizzo, Joe Ross, Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber.

You can get a lot of information on draftees in one year, so here's what the first round of the 2014 draft would look like now.
It has now been 375 days since the first round of the 2014 MLB draft kicked off with the Houston Astros by selecting Brady Aiken. Of course, we know how things have changed with Aiken, who failed to sign, had Tommy John surgery and was drafted 17th overall by Cleveland last week. While the last calendar year or so hasn't been that eventful for the names below, it's been eventful enough that we decided it was time to break back out one of our favorite exercises from last year: the redraft.

With the new CBA, two primary ways to attack the draft emerged. Which teams embraced extreme versions of each strategy?
One of the consequences of the decisions to create the allocated draft pool fund in 2012—intended or not—was that it essentially gave teams three choices for how to approach the draft:
Plan 1: Attack the draft early with high-reward players who will eat up most of your allocation, and then trust your scouting department to find and develop lesser-known "names" in the later rounds.

A look at some of the prospects selected on day three who could someday find themselves in the bigs.
Let's face it, day three of the MLB Draft is not exactly must-listen/view entertainment. A large portion of these players will end up being organizational fodder—if that—and the players that you have heard of are likely going to attend college or return to their respective university.
With that being said, there's a reason this day exists; and every year there are diamonds in the rough that slip into the late rounds that end up making a contribution at the big-league level. Here's one player for each club that has a chance to do just that, ignoring the players who went late who have a snowflake's chance in you-know-what of ending up with the respective organization.

A look at some of the steals, reaches, and most MLB-ready players taken on day two of the draft.
Day two doesn't get a lot of attention from fans, but in terms of building a system, it's the most important day of the draft. The best groups always do well on this day, and it's a chance to not only pick up depth, but there's always some star quality to be found in the middle rounds. And 2015 is no exception, even with a less-than-stellar class on paper.
Here are some of the highlights of day two of the 2015 MLB Draft.

As the season opener against Northern Arizona approaches for Arizona State, head coach Todd Graham offered a rundown of his expectations for the personnel who should start on the Sun Devils' offensive line.
With just one returning starter in senior left tackle Evan Goodman, ASU entered fall camp with four positions up for grabs. And with preseason practices coming to an end, Graham indicated many of those positions remain in flux.
Despite practicing with a consistent group of five players along the offensive line for much of fall camp and into game preparations for Northern Arizona, Graham listed off seven to eight players he indicated could start for the Sun Devils this season.
Though sophomore left guard Sam Jones and redshirt freshman right tackle Zach Robertson seem relatively secure in their positions, Graham said the team is still determining where senior Stephon McCray will start and whether to keep sophomore Quinn Bailey in the lineup or go with junior college transfer A.J. McCollum.
"There's more than five, but I would tell you that right now, I project the starters being Stephon (McCray) or A.J. (McCollum) at center, Stephon or Quinn (Bailey) at right guard," Graham said. "I think Evan (Goodman) and Zach (Robertson) at the tackles, with you've got Stevie Miller, you've got Alex (Losoya) as a backup left guard right now, and then Quinn can kick out to tackle and obviously we've got Cohl Cabral at the other tackle. That's kind of the group that's working."
McCray has the versatility to play both center and guard, and has worked with the first team offense at center for most of camp. On Wednesday, though, McCray began taking a greater share of reps at right guard, which could indicate the Sun Devils are taking an extensive look at McCollum at center.
A transfer from City College of San Francisco, McCollum spent the first half of fall camp sidelined with a hamstring issue, but has performed well enough to merit starting consideration since his return to the practice field.
"He (McCollum) is a very tenacious young man, very physical, almost kind of somewhat of a throwback center," Graham said. "I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, he's kind of just a mean tough guy, you know what I'm saying. He's still got a lot of work to do fundamentally, but he's done well and helped us."
Graham also said offensive line coach Chris Thomsen has been impressed with the work of the group as a whole, including depth options like Miller and Tyler McClure. Miller suffered an injury earlier this week that forced him to watch Thursday's warmups on the sideline in a walking boot, but Graham said Miller has the potential to contribute this season.
Graham did say one of the drawbacks of breaking in four new starters along the offensive line has been an increase in the number of penalties in practice, but overall, the head coach is satisfied with improved depth at the position group.
"We are talented, I do think there's more depth, than what we've had in the past, but we're going to have to know where that line is of keeping it simple," Graham said.
News and Notes
- Senior safety Laiu Moeakiola was not in attendance at practice Friday during the media viewing period. Moeakiola missed Thursday's practice to see a specialist for his hamstring, and after practice, Graham said safeties Chad Adams and J'Marcus Rhodes are competing to start at ASU's bandit safety position in Moeakiola's absence.
- Redshirt freshman defensive tackle George Lea wore a green jersey at practice for the second day in a row. Lea was injured last week, and has not participated in individual drills open to the media since his injury.
- Miller arrived in a walking boot to Thursday's practice, but was out of the boot on Friday and working out at Muscle Beach during the individual periods of practice.
- Junior defensive back Marcus Ball wore a green non-contact jersey and did not participate in individual periods at practice. Ball wore a walking boot for a day of practice at the beginning of last week, and has not participated in any team drills open to the media since an injury suffered two weeks ago.
- Freshman Kyle Williams worked at safety for the third consecutive practice after spending most of August at wide receiver.
- Freshman wide receiver Jack Smith worked with the quarterbacks during the individual periods of practice Friday, and Smith is expected to lead the scout team offense.

Do you think Red Bull has an MHL team now to get prospects for the Austrian league or DEL? 100% no! They are somehow preparing the next step but can't yet join KHL due to arena issues. As you mentioned there were some talks in the past about a new multipurpose arena for Red Bull Munich and maybe as a joint project with Bayern Munich's basketball team.
What also could be a big plus for Munich is that they have almost no DEL history and the interest in DEL by fans in Munich is only laughable. Where else if not in Munich should KHL get a German franchise?
Two traditional DEL teams (Frankfurt and Kassel) only wait for a chance to get back into the league asap!

Eagles 24, Ravens 23
Associated Press | Last updated September 16, 2012
Michael Vick scored on a 1-yard TD run with 1:55 left, helping the Philadelphia Eagles overcome a slew of turnovers to beat the Baltimore Ravens 24-23 on Sunday. Rookie kicker Justin Tucker made field goals of 56, 51 and 48 yards for the Ravens, but Joe Flacco couldn't get Baltimore (1-1) in his range in the final minute. Flacco overthrew Ray Rice on fourth-and-1 from the Ravens 46, and the Eagles ran out the clock. Vick threw four interceptions at Cleveland last week, but rallied the Eagles (2-0) to a 17-16 win. He did it again, though the replacement officials almost made a costly mistake. Down 23-17, the Eagles started at their 20 with 4:43 left. Vick threw passes of 24 and 13 yards to Brent Celek. A 19-yard pass to Clay Harbor coupled with a roughing-the-passer penalty put the ball at the 3. Vick then threw incomplete as he was being hit by Haloti Ngata, but the play was ruled a fumble. It was recovered by the Ravens, but replay overturned the turnover and Vick scored on the next play.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - December 1, 1982, New Braunfels, Texas Dallas, Texas #?5?~ flieroplex# lac.SS: S^isr* dalles, Tr-x^s 75?i>5 Comp. Reimer backs higher drinking age By JACQUELINE SMITH Staff writer When it comes to drinking and driving, Texas laws are way behind the times in the opinion of County Attorney Bill Reimer. But local attitudes on the subject — specifically the attitudes New Braunfels' parents have concerning teenage drinking — are also in need of improvement, Reimer said Wednesday. "Texas is one of a very few states that does not have an open container law," said Reimer, who spoke out in favor of such a law at Tuesday night's PACT (Parents and Children Together) meeting. PACT is a parent peer group that is actively supporting the drinking age being raised to 21. "It's time for an attitude change in Texas For years it's been Texans are known for being hard lovers and hard drinkers," he noted in a telephone interview Wednesday. "But ifs time to change that attitude — let's not continue to take away other peoples' freedoms," he said reiterating his Tuesday night stance. "There are 5,000 people killed each year that have to do with drunk drivers. That's 70 people every day — that shows the time has come to change our attitude." Reimer estimated that a "vast majority or as many as two-thirds" of the other states currently have open-container laws, making it illegal to drink alcoholic beverages while driving. As he told those gathered at PACT, where Louis Yeager, an agent with the Texas Liquor Control Board also spoke, Reimer would like to see Texas pass similar legislation. Local feelings have also got to change, said Reimer, who was highly critical of those local parents who might have permissive attitudes concerning teenage drinking. "There's been this attitude of boys will be boys and Comal County Kool-Aid (beer) won't hurt anybody," said Reimer, noting that he'd been " raised here...under the German ethics." "That's a bad attitude that's been here too long. Kids will experiment enough on their own without us encouraging it," he said. "But with the epidemic of teenage drunk drivers...ifs time we re-evaluated our stance. The young people are killing themselves." The county attorney specifically criticized those parents who throw "keg parties" for their teenagers and their peers around graduation time or over the Christmas holidays. Ifs time for parents to say "hey we're not going to have these parties and you (other parents) shouldn't either," said Reimer. Currently some parents think these parties are alright and follow "other parents' leads," since they're throwing these parties too, he added. However, Reimer continued, if one of the teenagers from that party I who has drinken alcohol) were to get in a wreck after that party, the parents (throwing the party) are "as responsible as the kid that drank the beer," said Reimer. And what some parents also don't realize, he added, is that it is "a crime to give alcohol to a teenager unless it's your own child." There's a fine See REIMER, Page 16A MHMR seeks donations for Christmas card It's called the "Community Christmas Card," and ifs the Comal County Mental Health Mental Retardation Center's way of saying "Merry Christmas." The MHMR Center is again asking concerned county citizens to forego sending Christmas cards locally, and making a contribution to MHMR instead. During the week of Christmas, an ad will be placed in local newspapers listing the names of all those who have chosen this way to wish their friends a Merry Christmas, while showing their concern for the needs of others. Names will also be read over the air at the local radio station during the holiday season.

Adam Trollinger waves excitedly at Santa, who came to witness the event Kennedy out of '84 picture WASHINGTON (API Sen. Edward M. Kennedy announced today that he will not seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984. "nor would I accept a draft." He said that while it is no mystery he'd like to be president, obligations to his three children override politics. Kennedy, 50. said his announcement dealt only with the 1984 campaign and that he might well run another time. He did not endorse anyone for the nomination, but said he would not rule out doing so later on. Kennedy made his announcement at a news conference that had tile trappings of declarations of candidacy. He entered to applause, read his statement, then answered questions. He said he believes that if he were to run, he would win the nomination "Were the decision to be made solely on political grounds. I would have made a different announcement today," the Massachusetts senator said. A loser last time, a leader now in the public opinion polls. Kennedy said "for the members of my family, the 1980 campaign was sometimes difficult and it is very soon to ask them to go through it again." "I am involved in a divorce," he said, calling it painful for him; his estranged wife, Joan; and their children. The Kennedys are working on a divorce settlement that is expected soon. As for his children Kennedy said. "I believe my first and over-riding obligation now is to Patrick. Kara and Teddy." Kennedy said he would be active in national Democratic politics "I want to see a party that wins the presidency in 1984. not for the sake of winning alone but because its philosophy, its programs and its nominee deserve that victory," he said. He also said President Reagan can be defeated, and that in other circumstances. a tough race with the Republican incumbent would have been a welcome challenge While he wouldn't say so, his withdrawal from the crowded field of Democratic prospects leaves former Vice President Walter F MOildale the leading potential candidate "I don'tMiink ifs any my story that I would like to be president," Kennedy said "Hut I have also indicated that I would not be a candidate in 1984, nor would I accept a draft either for the presidency or the vice presidency?*' leaving open the possibility of another try for his party's nomination, Kennedy noted his abortive race against Jimmy farter and said, "Actually, I enjoyed campaigning a lot in iowa in 1980 and, who knows, some day I may do it again." Helen Gurley Brown offers helpful advice to all 'mouseburgers' By NANCY SHUtlNS Associated Press NEW YORK (API - The PROBLEM, dear girls, is STATISTICAL. "The latest U S. Census reveals that, between the ages of 35 and 39, there are 13 million women for every IO million men. Bottom line: There are too many of us, too few of them The SOLUTION, pussycats, is to "mouseburger" your way to happiness. And here to show you how in her new book, "Having It All," is Helen Gurley Brown, the single girl's guru, the editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, and 105 pounds of pure mouseburger If you, too, are a "mouseburger," Mrs. Brown's buzz word for waifs everywhere who have more bravado than beauty, more ambition than affluence, more character than confidence, do not despair. Instead, work hard Exercise. Go easy on salt. Scrub. Moisturize. Condition. Tuck. Repair. Reduce. Augment. Give him compliments. Give him gifts. Tell white lies. Feed his ego. And don't expect him to be perfect. That's YOUR job. "The question is, do you want a man in your life or DON'T you?" Mrs. Brown asks, her voice lapsing into the trademark italics that pepper her magazine. "If you do, we're talking about a precious commodity I think men and women are totally equal — there are dodo men and there are dodo women. But we are not equal in numbers." If we were, obviously, young women w ouldn't have to do all this dieting and exercising, conditioning and repairing, bikini waxing and perfuming. All this MOUSEburgering And Mrs. Brown wouldn't have to do all this worrying over what her critics are likely to say about "Having It All." "Some feminists will say there's too much emphasis on man-pleasing. Some women will say ifs too manipulative, that I advocate using trickery and guile And some people will say I have a double standard about married people w ho cheat." Personally, Mrs. Brown, 60, prefers fidelity. She has been happily married for 23 years to David Brown, a successful movie producer. But she has NIGHTMARES about him DYING, or her becoming INCAPACITATED, or a thousand OTHER things. Once, there was plenty to worry about for Helen Gurley, the poor-as-a-church-mouse daughter of a Little Rock, Ark., mao killed in an accident when she was IO.

Among the biggies, Guaranty State Bank was given a twu-year depository contract, and the Senior Citizens Center contract was extended for three years. Guaranty was awarded the depository contract on a 3-0 vote, with trustee Robert Orr (also president of Texas Commerce Hank-New Braunfels) abstaining. Texas Commerce, along with New Braunfels National Bank, also bid for the contract. The five-year lease contract with the Comal Senior Citizens Community Center expired Tuesday. The board approved a three-year lease contract Tuesday, in which $8,700 in permanent improvements will be accepted in lieu of rent. The permanent improvements, scheduled for completion within the three-year period, include closing in the front porch area with heating and cooling ($7,000), repairing and painting the roof with fibered aluminum coating i $1,2001, and replacing restroom fixtures i $5001. in other action, the board approved two different bid authorizations on computer-related items. "The first approval we got was to go out for bids on tele-communications equipment," Utilities management information services manager Barry Allison said Wednesday. "This will give us the ability to buy equipment which will allow us to communicate with our remote sites, like the water department, etc "The second thing we got approval to go out for bids for was tease-purchase finance contracts with different lending institutions We have committed to buy the computer equipment from Data General, but we want to bundle the deal in a package, and spread the payments over a five-year period," Allison explained See UTILITIES, Page ISA Planners wrestle with subdivision statute By DYANNE FRY Staff writer Paragraphs concerning sidewalks, street dedication requirements and inspection fees will need more work before the Planning and Zoning Commission is ready to send its revised subdivision ordinance for City Council approval. "Of all of them, sidewalks bothers me the most," said commissioner John Dierksen, who chaired tile group at Tuesday's workshop meeting. "We'll probably have two more workshops before we type this thing in its final form," said Mel I sequel lien t, representing the consulting firm Freese & Nichols. He suggested that commissioners pick out tile areas of concern and concentrate on those in subsequent meetings. Sections governing electrical easements and Die laying of water and sewer pipes are still being worked out with New Braunfels Utilities, reported Planning Director Dobra Goodwin. They'll also be ready for consideration at a later date. The sidewalk section, as read Tuesday, would require walks at least four feet wide along all major thoroughfares and arterial streets, on streets feeding into major thoroughfares, and in ureas of heavy foot traffic: for example, near schools and parks. Sidewalks would not be mandatory in areas of ojHii development, or iii single-family residential areas with large lots. Commission members agreed it made sense But considering tile cost, some wondered whether the city really wanted to force developers to put sidewalks in See Pl.ANNl.KS, Page ULA Shift photos Oy Cmd* Rnhot ;

Maybe you don't understand that in some states the simple act of ignoring the sign is criminal. Not refusing to leave when asked, but just ignoring a sign, without ever being asked to leave, without ever refusing after being asked.
If the owner has a no shoes/shirt sign posted but you pop in anyway to grab a quick drink, you can be asked to leave immediately, but that should not result in a criminal charge because you walked past a sign.
If the owner has a no-smoking sign posted in an aria you could otherwise lawfully smoke, but you want to try and get your fix real quick and light up, you have to stop when asked, you have to leave when asked, you have to pick up your cigarette but, and the owner has every right to tell you not to return. But that shouldn't result in a criminal charge.
These are civil matters. The criminal code should not apply.

Ukraine, 1952, ages ago, yet true. The girls still carry the heavy cross of the sexual innocence. A Russian girl, 22, rowing medalist and coach, fall in fiery, forbidden love with a cocky, witty boy, 14, listed as a Jew. Yet, he is above all that and plans to swim to Turkey if SSoviets try to ship the Jews to the starving, icy Siberian mini Zion named the Jewish Autonomous Region. The bedlam of arraigning the alleged Jewish moles of AmeriKKKans mirroring that in their country too crafts just a fading set in this truthful, intriguing book. S.I. Fishgal wanted to title MEIN KAMPF (My Struggle), but someone did that before. For ignoramuses in German, not you surely, krampf means cramp. His PIDDLER ON THE HOOF and KOSHER HOOKS show the boy's earlier years. As a gentleman, Fishgal made his books independent, with the horse sense, crisp and funny language, topsy-turvy idioms and plays of words.

Chapter 9: Metine City :Nova's POVMature
The city was incredible looking, reflective glass buildings, futuristic cars and even the people were advanced in anatomy, on the way here the leader of this group told me that their bodies reflect the sun's heat. The group leader's name was Thenylia, she said that the mayor wanted to talk to me immediatly, so we headed to what i was told was the 'Goverment Building' as we approached the place i saw the doors open and Alice being dragged out. As far as she knew, i was safe and probly at home "ALICE!" i ran towards her and hugged her tightly only to be separated in a few seconds of embrace "Nova, Nova! I love you." She was crying, and i havent seen her cry but maybe twice. "I love you." Then she was dragged out of my sight, and it was my turn to meet the mayor of Metine City. We went throught the building to the top floor, then through some doors, "oh, hello My name is Fritz and I am the mayor of metine city" i looked around but didn't see anybody "hello?" "Over here." I looked to where I heard the voice and saw a older looking man standing by a fish tank looking at the exotic f ish "hello my name is Nova." He sniled and said "nice to meet you Nova." His smiled creeped me out, especially when his eyes scanned my body up, and down. "excuse me Thenylia, but i would like to speak to miss Nova, Alone." Thenylia looked at me, then back at the mayor "Yes sir" and she left. The mayor walked toward his desk and sat on the edge of it. "come and sit down in the chair here." He motioned to a chair in front of his desk and i moved near it "so, Nova how young are you?" I could feel my legs shaking "im, uh seventeen." His face tilted "really? You look much more, fresh." I clenched in disgust "wht do you want with me?" he sighed "what would any man want with a young exotic beauty like you." He paused and smiled "you will live with me and my family, you will be the family maid, and my personal assistant." I felt my stomach drop when he said "personal" because he made sure to emphasize that part. "so, all i have to do is figure out if you are good for the job." He got off of the desk and walked behind me, I felt his hangs rub my neck, then to my shoulders. I felt his lips touch my neck and i got goosebumps all over. He bit down tenderly, but his teeth felt like razor blades and it could feel them pierce my neck. "Damn, I didn't expect you to be this tender, I will have to make sure tobe a little more careful." I could now see a trickle of blood run down from my neck to my shoulder and down my shirt. he leaned down and licked up the blood in delight ,he reachedc the edge of my shirt when I jumped out of my seat "Get the hell off of me perve!" stunned by my reaction, the mayor was speechless . it did not take him long though to gain back composure and say "Nova if you wish to be safe, to be happy, and free, its best if you cooperate with my minor requests." I squirmed in my seat "so, im supposed to sit here and let you rape me." He turned his back to me "don't think of it as rape, think as it as a compromise, i get to fulfill my needs and you don't have to do anything for the rest of your life. You will live problem free." I couldn't help but roll my eyes "yes, then we will all live happily ever after right?" he turned back to me. "listen, I am giving you a great deal, and you are going to deal with it." He pulled me up and pushed me over on top of his desk, his strength was incredible. He could have picked me up and thrown me into the wall across the room if he wanted. He layed me down on the desk and ripped off my clothes, leaving me lying on his desk naked. It didn't take him long to be standing in front of me naked, his body shining in the light. At first i couldn't see where his penis was, but then it came out from his skin and it was big. I guess the woman of this race have deeper vaginas because his cock was as long as his arm and about the same width. He jumped on top of the table onto me and screamed in terror for what was going to happen.

Alzheimer's hits women hardest, report finds
Women are nearly twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer's disease, according to new studies.
Researchers say women have a 1 in 6 chance of developing the disease at age 65 compared to a 1 in 11 risk for men. What's more, 70 percent of caregivers for Alzheimer's patients are women - a demanding job which takes a toll.
"When you're in your mid-50s, you're looking at retirement, and what's going to happen after you retire," said Angie Wallace of herself and her husband. "John and I had a whole plan. And all of a sudden, that was not going to happen."
John is 66-years-old and suffers from Alzheimer's, making Angie one of the more than 15 million people in the U.S. caring for someone with the disease.
It's a demanding job, both physically and emotionally.
"Women actually report that they are more likely to suffer from depression and stress than men in their caregiving role," said Dr. Maria Carrillo of the Alzheimer's Association.
Angie had to change the way she sees the relationship with her husband when she was thrust into the caregiver role. She now sees herself as a widow with a child.
She said that new outlook made the situation bearable because being a caregiver can be lonely and a great financial burden. Angie recently had to move John out of their home and into a private care facility, which costs more than half of her monthly salary.
"This one's private pay, so it's all on us. And I just don't know what's going to happen."
The monetary value of unpaid caregivers in the U.S. tops $220 billion.
The Alzheimer's Association also finds women caregivers are much more likely than men to switch from working full time to working part time or giving up their jobs entirely.

Im Not Bitter, but I've seen Better Days (teddy geiger fan fic)Mature
A story about Teddy Geiger and a lawyer in charge of babysitting him
"Jury, have you made your final verdict?"
I looked up towards the jury, eyeing them in a somewhat threatening manner. My ice-like eyes shot through their souls, causing a shiver to run down the man's (who was speaking for the jury) spine. He took a deep breath then turned to face the judge. I looked back towards the Judge, my un-natural dark brown hair moving along with my rotation of my head.
"Yes, your honor. We, the jury, find Mr. John Theodore Geiger II guilty of drug and alchohol abuse." He stated. I turned to face Geiger with a slightly smug look on my face. He scowled at me then turned back to the judge. i too turned back. I just had to hear this spoiled musician's sentence. The Judge nodded and turned to Mr. Geiger.
"Mr. Geiger. You are hear by sentenced to a year in a Rehabilitation Center." He stated. Mr.Geiger suddenly leapt up.
"Your honor, please! I'm in the middle of a tour! isn't there some other way?" He asked. The judge simply shook his head. Mr. Geiger's lawyer ran up and began talking to the judge. i leaned in, trying to see what they were talking about. Something suddenly caught the corner of my eye. I turned to see Mr. Geiger winking at me. I glared at him and sat back down, looking forward calmly as Mr. Geiger's lawyer ran back down. The judge cleared his throat, then began to speak.
"Mr. Geiger, your lawyer has stated to me that you have seen the error of your ways and are wishing for a fresh start. is this correct?" He asked. Mr. Geiger turned to look at his lawyer, who simply gave him a look. i knew that look. the say yes or your screwed look. I rolled my eyes and turned back to the judge.
"Yes your honor. this is true." Mr. Geiger said. The Judge nodded.
"Well then, if you can prove this to me, i will take away your sentence." He stated, "you will be spending the next few months being observed by another person. if you can prove to them that you are able to stay away from drugs for that amount of time, then you will not have to go to rehab. Court is now closed." The Judge stated. Mr. Geiger walked past my table and smirked, casting me another wink. I glared at him and stood up, walking back out into the light. I walked past all of the paparazzi and into my car that was waiting for me. I angrily opened the door and sat inside. I looked out the window as the car took off, irritated.
"Fucking hell!" I snarled.
"bad day?" A voice asked. I spun around to see Mr. Geiger in the car next to me, raising an eyebrow as his mouth turned into a cruel smirk. I turned back around, muttering as many curse words as i could muster up. Mr. Geiger sighed.
"Come on, at least let me buy you a drink." He suggested. The car suddenly came to a halt at my appartment. I opened the door and walked out. i bent down and looked at Mr. Geiger straight in the eyes.
"Mr. Geiger. You're on probation for drugs and alchohol abuse. Buying me a drink might not be the best idea." I stated, then slamed the door. The car almost immediately took off. I stormed upstairs into my appartment and began slurring curse words as i unwrapped my microwavable meal. The phone suddenly started ringing. I sighed and answered it.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey Vandenberg." My boss said happily.
"Hey Mr. Ramsey" I said calmly. My boss, Mr. Josh Ramsey was in a band for awhile until one day the band fell through and he became my boss, and a good friend of mine. note the casual greeting.
"So you lost the case, Vandenberg?" He asked. I sighed.
"Yeah. Geiger's lawyer-"
"Is that another microwaveable meal, Vandenberg?" He asked. I gave the phone a weird look, despite the fact that he couldn't see it.
"No... why?" I asked. Mr. Ramsey laughed.
"Well, i can hear the microwave in the background. Anyways, i have a job for you. How do you feel about babysitting?" He asked.
"Mr. Ramsey, I'm a lawyer. I havent babysat since Highschool." I stated. Mr. Ramsey sighed.
"Come on, Vandenberg. You're the only one that I can trust enough to do this." He moaned.
"Fine. on one condition." I said.
"What's that?" He asked.
"I get a raise." I stated. Mr. Ramsey made a clicking noise with his tongue.
"Fine. you'll get a raise. now hurry on down to the office now. You'll meet you client there." He said.
"Got it. See you soon." I said, hanging up. I grabbed my jacket and scarf, then looked in the mirror. my hair had fallen out a bit. i quickly pinned it back up, then walked out of the house, locking the door behind me. I walked down to the street and hailed a taxi, then rode down to the station. I walked in, sighing. I placed one hand on Mr. Ramsey's office door, then slowly opened it, closing my eyes. I walked in blindly.
"I'm here Mr. Ramsey. Now who's this guy that I..." I started, opening my eyes. But my voice stopped when I saw the client in front of me.
"Your kidding me. This is the girl?" Mr. Geiger asked.

This forum is full of geniuses, you people that can articulate better than most newspaper and TV reporters, so I think you will excel at this task.
I am just wondering what kind a 60 second PSA (Public Service Announcement) you guys and gals could write about one of these subjects: Concealed Carry, the 2nd Amendment, The Castle Doctrine, gun safety, and any other weapon related topic.
So try your hand at screen writing and see what we can come up with.
Tell us what, if any the background music will be and if it is a TV spot tell us what the visual would be.
Then let's figure out how we can get them made and out to the TV and Radio Stations across this great country.

If it is not in the US Constitution then the Federal Government should not be doing it.
"Carrying a gun is a social responsibility."
you want all that in 60 seconds?
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.
Randy Cain.
Ego will kill you. Leave it at home.
Signed: Me!
I was watching a 101 dalmations the other night with my daughter, and started laughing when the two hired bad guys did a home invasion to kidnap the puppies.
I was thinking to myself that this would make a great commercial with the caption at the end "Britains gun control obviously did not stop the criminals."
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
Miggy, that was so nerve racking. It gave me chills to listen to her scream.
Anyway, here is my little pea-brain idea.
The antis like to control the population with fear... Be afraid of the guns. Guns kill and COULD KILL YOUR CHILDREN. People who carry are bad and evil and will shoot you if you cut them off in traffic... and so on and so on...
Fear is a powerful motivator. In fact it is the second most powerful motivator second only to love.
I, personally, don't like trying to scare people into being pro gun. People are already scared in general. They are ALREADY scared that someone is going to break into their house, why else to they get alarms and dogs and so on. They are already scared for the safety of their family, they are already scared of wackos and weirdos (and because the media has painted us as such they are afraid of us).
I think the best thing to do would be to start showing the positive, peaceful side of weaponry and concealed carry. That, yes, while it is a means to protect ourselves from evil people we are still loving, gentle, considerate, helpful people.
I would love to see commercials where we directly refute the common myths.
Commercial #1
Lets say the commercial starts out showing a man getting ready for the morning and strapping on his gun.
He gets in the car and is driving down the road and someone cuts him off and almost gets him in an accident. They then over correct and get into an accident themselves.
The concealed carrier stops, gets out of his car and goes the the person's aide, calling the police, assisting in any way possible and showing compassion and care.
I think that message would be a strong one.
Commercial #2
Or perhaps another commercial where a mother is getting ready for the day and straps on her handgun.
Later she goes to her child's soccer game and is supportive and encouraging even though another mother or father is criticizing her son's playing ability. She ignores the insults and continues to be supportive and positive.
After the game she hugs her son and tells him he did a fabulous job and gives him a kiss and asks him if he wants to get some ice cream.
Commercial #3
Another good one would be at a young man who decides to go out with his friends. Again, you see him strap on his concealed weapon.
His friends want to go to a sports bar and get sloshed. He volunteers to be the designated driver and you see him be responsible as he ensures that all of his friends get home safely.
Commercial #4
Or another one where you see a man and a woman getting ready to go on a date together. Each straps on their handguns and go out together.
You see that they are very much in love and they hold hands and smile at one another and are polite and courteous to their wait-staff, and you get to see how completely comfortable and happy they are despite the fact that they both are carrying guns. Maybe to add a little drama you could have a waiter or waitress spill a drink on one of them and they calmly, and happily say that it's alright, and not to worry about it and laugh it off.
I think showing the compassion, gentleness, love and affection of those of us who carry guns would be more beneficial than trying to scare people.
The general populous needs to see that we are normal, helpful, family oriented people.
They need to SEE that just because we have guns doesn't make us scary or evil or bad parents or paranoid or crazy.
But that's just Lima theory.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you that have commented here, but I think we have a screen writer in our number. Limatunes, you have ideas and you can write. I looked at your blog site. You have the eye of a graphic artist. Are you using a Macintosh? Very nice blog. And as always well thought out post.

Yes, I use a Mac.
I thought of more "commercials." I guess I could spit out one a minute.
I also think that if you were going to do those type of commercials you would have to have a way to drive home your message.. not sure how just yet.. but I think the message would be pretty clean and positive rather than scary and intimidating.

Lima had some good ideas, Can't watch Miggy's video here.
How about this, with the theory in mind that exposure quells fear of the unknown:
Shots of everyday, normal people (preferably clean cut), all ages/races. The caption on the bottom gives an age and occupation, and maybe city and state?
Anyway, each person says : "I'm (name), I'm an American."
After each person in the clips has said this, then we start over, except this time they say : "I'm a normal guy/girl, and I won't be a victim." End with big emblem of concealed carry organization and waving US Flag and voiceover that says : "Many of your neighbors already choose to protect their families, Choose to protect yours."
Maybe the script could use tweaking? But the greater number of these clips, each with different people starring, the better, I think.

Another Idea, my above idea could use fewer people per clip, maybe even just one or 2, and they could start wiith "I was raped/beaten/stabbed, etc" then maybe " the police couldn't help me." and the punch line : "I won't be a victim again. True stories and real people a big bonus.

Interesting...Dick Morris was on the radio last night.
He stated that he thinks in 30 second sound bites.
He sez that there is no thought or idea that he cannot articulate in 30 seconds.
So 60 seconds should be no problem for you folks - you get twice the amount of time.

BeschreibungAfrican historians documented the histories of their tribal people and have not investigated the role of slavery and colonialism in the shaping of the African personality; or how the two evils have in some way or other contributed to the slow economic growth of Africa. It is the belief of the author that reparations should be sought not to bring about economic development or to reduce dependence but redress wrongs the degradation, vandalism, terrorism and other inhuman treatment Africans have experienced nor is the demand racially motivated. The demand is for indemnity for inhuman acts committed against African people and is made in the belief that the international community will accept the reality of slave trade and later, imperialism and colonialism are crimes against humanity.

Paul Kenyon of the Providence Journal writes that "there are signs the normal downhill trend has begun" in regards to the play from Patriots QB Tom Brady. Kenyon points out that although Brady's completion percentage was a respectable 63 percent this season, it was his lowest percentage since the 2006 season. Kenyon adds that the percentage of his passes that went for touchdowns dropped to 5.3 and yards per pass was 7.6, which is his lowest since 2008. Kenyon believes New England should consider reducing Brady's workload next season and lean on their young running backs Stevan Ridey and Shane Vereen. There's no question that Brady still performed at an elite level this season and should be able to come close to that production again in 2013. Pro Football Focus actually rated Brady as the No. 3 quarterback this season and it's worth noting that three of the their top four quarterbacks are at least 34 years old. With that being said, Brady's stats are starting to trend downward, which probably isn't surprising given where he is in his NFL career. By making a few adjustments to their offense, it seems realistic that they could be in the hunt for the AFC Championship again come next January.

Always on the Wrong Side of the Street
We had an amazing day and covered so much ground. Again we started off early today. We needed to get on the HOHO bus before 11:00 a.m. because that's when our 24 hour ticket expired. We made it.
We headed downtown to Circular Quay as a starting point. I just needed to touch the Opera House at Bennelong Point (Architect Louis Kahn) and climb the 72 stairs up to the massive sails. Since the time this opened ...
Take Off
After what seemed to be very few hours sleep we were awoken to the sounds of the alarm. A quick shower and a repackaged if cabin luggage we were in the shuttle on the way to the airport at the ungodly hour of 330am After a slight panic of my Epassport not reading and minor delays at getting the mug shots taken we made it through customs. We boarded on time and left Auckland quite excited. Excitement that lasted all of 5 ...

Hi from sydney
... Floor four was a blessing for sure. The ship has finally stopped swaying. We are in Sydney port and boy I'm glad we are not moving. As I didn't have anything to eat yesterday I am starving. I complete my questionnaire for the cruise and we go to Horizons for coffee. As I am not too sure about food we go to the Terrace so I can start small. We say our goodbyes to everyone we see and we disembark the ship and obtain our luggage. From here we find a taxi stand ...

Fic: World Enough and Time = episode 1
Author: Seraphim Grace
Fandom = Supernatural
Pairing = Castiel x Dean (god is love in all it's forms) Sam x Ruby and CFC,
Rating = NC17
spoilers = season 4 ep 9-18
AUish - set in the world of american gods and sandman but also the spn universe, I just stretched it a little
Notes - Sam Centric, title from Andrew Marvell
suggested by [info]keire_ke
betaed by [info]bellajayd who deserves more praise than me for this - she's certainly doing more work
Sequel to Set the Fire to the Third Bar - .
This story starts at the end of chapter 20 from Set the fire to the third bar, and tells Sam's side of the story from here on in.
Previously in the 'angel verse
When Dean finds Sam with Ruby he takes off to clear his head, but the forces of Hell are eager to please Sam, whether he wants to or not, so Castiel hides him among other supernatural creatures. As a hunter Dean earns favours from these creatures which are shown as beads upon a charm bracelet. After Dean is told some hard truths about his return from Hell and his mother he runs from Castiel back to Bobby's, where an angel waits for him. It murders half of him leaving a more powerful version behind.
Episode 1
In which Sam is aware of the seduction of the Darkness within him, and Bobby's books offer little hope.
Soundtrack: Keith Caputo - Razzberry Mockery
The first time Sam manifested a Darkling he emptied both barrels of Dean's favorite shotgun into its face. This just caused two more to appear and laugh at the first's misfortune as it slammed both hands over its mouth and yelled "by dose, by dose". It was also when Sam realized that he wasn't getting rid of them that easily.
It was a spindly little green creature with huge eyes and a larger mouth. It was basically humanoid and wore a little red waistcoat. It took weeks to realise that they were a manifestation of this new thing within him, that it was manifesting to serve him.
They were the first manifestation of the whispering dark. There had been many others since then.
Next came the voice, whispering in the dark places of his neck and hair. It called him Sammy and made him promises of control and order in a voice that sounded like twenty voices all melded into one and slightly out of time with each other.
By the time Dean returned from Hell, Sam had gotten used to sleeping with the lights on.
It didn't like the light, and dwelled in the dark places, in the shadows of his skin, and it hungered, but it had its uses it was quick to show him. It could exorcise a demon faster than his psychic powers. It could throw a body like it was a piece of paper.
Without another name to give it, he calls it the Darkness and it calls him Sammy just like Dean does.
Bobby's house is as close to a home as Sam has ever known.
Dean lives and breathes in the Impala, it's his sanctuary, but it has always been someone else's space to Sam: his dad's car and then his brother's. Just like his time with Jess was felt as if it was someone else's life, lived in someone else's apartment. But, Bobby's house is home.
Even if Bobby does make him sleep on the couch in the parlor because the rest of the house is full of books and so much other magic esoterica that not even Bobby knows what half of it is.
The books more than Bobby, more than the place, make it home.
Sam has always been at ease surrounded by knowledge. It reassures him in ways that people, that places can't. There are more pleasures to be found, he knows, between the pages of a grimoire than there is in the flesh.
Disturbingly the Darkness agrees.
He sits at the kitchen table, a large mug of coffee and a copy of the Red Dragon in front of him. It's old and easy to understand, but sometimes even the most pointless books can prove useful in the right light. Sam doesn't care, he reads it and catalogues it in his memory, in the Darkness' memory just in case because it learns what he learns, because you could never know.
Dean has been missing for two months.
It has been two months since Dean just drove off in the middle of the afternoon, leaving Sam in the midst of a hunt, without a word.
He's phoned three times since then. It's not their longest separation, but it feels longer than when he was in Hell where there time apart had no defined end. Sam seethes with the feel of it.
In the shadows the Darkness within him languishes and lashes.
Bobby has gone to town, complaining about the amount of food that Sam eats, but Sam sees the kid on the stoop and wonders how much food Bobby slips her too.
The Darkness doesn't like her, so Sam doesn't either. It's animosity leeches over between them. She just sits there, with Lacey beside her and watches the road.
Dean phoned late yesterday morning, saying that he was on his way back. That whatever he had had to do, he had done. That he had made his decisions.
Part of Sam really doesn't care anymore.
He fills the void left by family with information, with magic, with seals, with law, with crappy Star Trek novels stolen from libraries when he was a kid and read over and over until the binding fell apart and pages would get left in Des Moines, with others in Boise.
Then another library and another book that he thought that no one would miss.
The other part of him loves his brother to distraction and can't think without him there.
The Darkness whispers, assures him that this is natural, that it wants, that it needs, that he should take, but Sam's not sure what that means, not yet.
The Darkness is old.
Books mention it in asides, in footnotes, in references to other references: the Creeping Dark, the Whispering Dark, the Great Dark.
Bobby has one of the greatest supernatural libraries in the world and nothing there mentions this voice, these creatures, these hungers and the spiraling feeling of being out of control.
Sam calls it the Darkness because it's the only name he can give it. Nothing else quite seems to fit.
It tells him that no one will love him as it does.
It tells him that no one will need him as it does.
It promises him everything.
It promises him Lilith's head bloody on a platter.
It promises him the end of the Apocalypse with blood and horror and fire and control .
It promises him the death of the demons.
It promises him Ruby.
It promises him Jess.
It promises him Dean .
And all he has to do is turn off the lights.
What terrifies him is that it can make its promises come true. What little he knows about this thing that has infested within him, the more he knows that that its pledges are true.
It found him in Nazareth, North Texas, back when he was still torturing demons for information to get Dean from Hell.
Bobby had given him the info on the hunt. Bodies were turning up torn apart with their hearts missing, which normally suggested werewolves, but there were sightings of great black snakes devouring parts of the corpses and small imp like creatures.
Bobby admitted he didn't know what the fuck it was and Sam was to be prepared for the worst. Bobby warned him it might be one of the lesser Hell Spawn, a creature greater than any demon, that was tearing through the town.
It wasn't.
The kid was twenty one at the most, with half of his head wide open to the elements, his brain pulsing wetly in a pool of street light. His hands pulling at the hair that was left as he screamed "Just make it stop! Just make it stop, just make it stop!"
And it did.
The boy just fell over, like a puppet with its strings severed and just behind him for the first time Sam heard it's voice, "See ya, Billy," and it's voice was a mismatch of discord and rhyme, of women, of men, of children, of death exhalations and birthing screams, and then his name, "Sammy."
He whirled around, shotgun at the ready, but there was nothing there.
The murders stopped that night.
Sam meets Ruby just outside of town and they leave, after all whatever it was is gone.
Sam always thinks, looking back, that it should have been apocalyptic - that the skies should have opened - that the ground should have creaked and moaned.
Nothing happened, and it was days later that the Darklings first manifested and he opened fire on them with both salt laden barrels of Dean's favorite shotgun.
With Bobby in town the primary three Darklings, the ones he privately refers to as the 'usual suspects,' are milling about in the shadows of the house.
One brings him books, and drinks his coffee. Another lies under the table reading a fourteenth-century book of recipes, lusting at the naked ladies in the illuminations, and the third is in the cupboard complaining that there is nothing to eat here, and can't they just eat the kid . . .
Sam thinks that there is cold meatloaf in the fridge, and mustard, and bread, but if the Darkling opens the door it will turn to dust.
If an angel filled this room with light, all three Darklings would turn to ash.
They are deathless, relentless, and cruel, but vanish into nothingness when someone switches on the light.
They are nameless, infinite, and he suspects there may be more of them than he can count.
Normally, it is just these three creatures that appear, calling him Boss, cracking crude jokes and trying, in their own impish way, to make his life easier, to serve him, to please him.
He still can't get them to leave him alone.
The book is boring him, the Darklings are amusing themselves like a pack of movie gremlins, and he's waiting for them to start singing "Hi ho," just because.
Dean is on his way back.
Sam's thoughts turn to the child that calls herself Ezraqueel, an angel's name, but other than general disdain the thing inside her couldn't care less for her, even if it tried.
Her human body interests the Darkness, because it's hungry and she's convenient. "They use corpses," it whispers, "it won't feel a thing, kid's already dead," and at the back of his throat he can taste her blood, hot sweet and metallic, and the slip slide of something large slide down his throat. It's the Darkness remembering what it feels like to gulp down a human heart.
"We're so hungry," it's a whisper and he is caught.
It's an angel, she's not a civilian, not a child, and it's a vessel, and the light is starting to fade, it wouldn't matter if it took a long time, because she's already dead. She's just meat and it's hungry.
So very, very, hungry.
Any action that he might have taken is cut short when a battered white Chevy Nova pulls into the yard with a familiar flourish, looking out of place with the unfamiliar car. Dean has returned, and done so with the usual handbrake turn and a screech of Die Hard the Hunter.
The kid'll never know just how lucky she is and how close she came to being meat for the beast.
Dean gets out of the car and a lumbering dog exits behind him looking like some spider monster from one of Dean's old b-movies, the ones that cram themselves into tiny holes and emerge in a flurry of long spindly legs.
A million and ten words go through Sam's head, but when he stands up all he says is, "I missed you."
And Dean looks good, better than he has in months, better than he did that first time Sam opened the door to him after he returned from Hell - that time that Sam failed to save him from Hell - but he still has that haunted, shadowed look that screams "I have seen, I have seen."
Then Dean speaks, "Man, you look like shit. Did you eat at all when I was gone?" Not an apology, not an explanation for his absence, just that doubled faced worrying that Dean does that makes Sam feel like he's failed. "If I find out you are under another one of those starving to death curses and Bobby didn't deal with it, I'm going to kick his ass."
Within Sam the Darkness lashes, he can feel it like a great serpent inside a backyard pool, thick with slime and ordure, choked with vine, like something from a Lovecraftian nightmare. His entire body tenses to hold it back, to rein it in. "You don't get to judge," he mutters.
Terrified that Dean will feel the thing move under his skin he pushes his brother away and damn near runs inside.
It's been so hard to hide this from Dean since his brother returned from Hell and two months on its stronger, it wants more, and it's so god damn hungry. Perry, the Darkling with no nose, the first one who ever appeared, is sitting in a shadow on the stairs, "You okay, boss, you wants me and the boys to," he gestures obscenely, an intimate violent gesture.
"Don't you touch him," Sam snarls, "he belongs to me."
The Darkling, Perry, shrugs, "If you wadt, boss, do skin off by dose," and in the shadows behind him another one laughs.
The next time he talks to Dean it ends badly.
Dean is trying to explain but what he's saying makes no sense, he talks of oddities and miracles and Frederick Douglass but one of the Darklings is sitting on the bookshelf and it's distracting Dean.
He's not supposed to be able to see it.
He never did before.
It makes things more complicated. It means Sam has to work harder to keep his secret because he knows that if Dean knows about the Darkness he won't hesitate to do whatever it takes to make sure Sam stays dead. Two years ago Sam would have been exactly the same.
Two years ago, Sam would have put his own head on the block.
He can't die now.
He has too much left to do. Maybe once they've averted the Apocalypse and Lilith herself leaves a bad taste in the Darkness' mouth. Maybe then he'll let Dean try out some sort of magic and try and destroy him. But he's just so hungry, no matter how much he eats.
Even as Dean is leaning over the prone body of a Darkling, bright pink blood in the twilight gloom, his face and ugly sweater spattered with it, Sam is just so hungry. The Darkling is called Mal, short for Malodorous, it's not dead, Sam knows, just playing dead long enough to get away, because they don't die.
He wants to eat it, to consume it, to swallow its blood and broken bones and brain matter and consume it because he's just so damn hungry.
He's going to have to go into town soon, a couple of stray dogs should make it manageable, should quiet it long enough that he can think.
The last time it was quiet he stopped a rapist in an alley and it tore him apart like paper, swallowing him down in quivering, twitching lumps.
But Dean is kneeling over the darkling and Bobby is there in the doorway and Sam has to react, and he can't recognize the creature. So he says the first things that pop into his mouth. "Dude, you just killed Dobby the House Elf."
Sam is woken by the sound of voices in the next room, the room where Dean has crashed.
He can make out maybe one word in three because the two men are muted. Dean is talking to the angel.
He hears the words "grace" and "suppress," because Castiel is louder when he says his S'es, and Dean murmurs something about "talking to you," and then there is a chuckle which could be either of them, and then Dean says "I know," and he sounds resigned.
They talk low and quiet for a few moments and the darkness whispers, "I can hear them, I can show you how." But before Sam can learn this new trick Dean opens the door to reveal that he is alone in the room.
There is a bright red ring of blood around his neck on his tee but his skin is perfectly clean.
"What? Dean? Your neck."
Dean just pulls out the tee and looks at the stain. "Must'a had a nosebleed."
"Is it the angel? I heard him," Sam can't help but accuse, he can feel the Darkness' hatred.
He hates the angel and only part of that hatred is his own. He can taste Ruby's fear of them, with her half a world away, on the back of his tongue like the lingering of vinegar.
"What?" Dean asks, shocked, playing with the bracelet on his wrist, at the stones that jingle jangle there. It's his new nervous tic. "Nah, must have just rolled over unto the dog funny. Is Bobby out of the shower yet?" And as simple as that it's all done with, Dean changes the subject and Sam seethes.
His brother is hiding things from him.
They are maybe an hour from Bobby's, in the comfort of the Impala, when Dean pulls into the parking lot and rearranges himself in his jeans, "You think Dunkin' Donuts sells pie? I have the worst sugar craving."
He comes back in with four boxes of a dozen donuts each, and two cups of coffee. He's gotten Sam a bran muffin. And he sits there, as Sam watches with wide eyes, and demolishes them one after another.
It's like something from a freak show.
When he's done he licks the sugar from his fingers in a display that's just obscene, and then eyes Sam's muffin speculatively.
Sam has lost his appetite and just hands it over.
Dean licks off the icing and then eats it, looking at the door to the Dunkin Donuts . "I don't know what's wrong with me today but I could eat that again."
Sam thinks of the amount of sugar he's already eaten and retches. Even the Darkness thinks it might be disgusting and it has fantasies of breaking into the meat counter at Wal-Mart for an all you can eat buffet.
"I found a job," Sam says, still pulling the face as Dean obviously, seriously, considers putting himself into a sugar coma. "Haunted showers. Woman says the ghost pushed her down the stairs and apologized."
"Haunted showers, point the way, Sammy, we're there already." And Dean's grin is so familiar, so comforting, so homey, that Sam decides to ignore the shining white bead batting against the steering wheel of the impala.
