A/N: The lyrics in this chapter are from the song "Punk Rock Candy Mountain" by the Bone Fags.
Part III: Punk Rock Candy Mountain
Spike turned in the rental SUV just before they left California. On the same night, he found a bank teller's window that was open after sundown and withdrew all of the money from William and Katie Conner's account. He'd open a new account once they were settled. Or maybe he'd just stuff it all under the mattress…
He'd decided he didn't want to make it too easy for Peaches to find them. Sure, nothing would stop his sire if Angel really put his mind to it, but there was no need to leave the bank account open as a neon sign pointing the way.
That done, they went about getting themselves a new set of wheels. Red came in handy for that. Once Spike spotted a car he liked – a perfectly restored vintage Ford Mustang, black with a red stripe – he sent Red over to lurk around until the owner showed up. When the middle-aged man arrived, his comb-over failing to hide a bald spot, Red stepped out of the shadows, a tearful look on her face. In minutes she had the old sod wrapped around her finger and ushering her into the car.
Once they'd driven off, Spike crossed the street and waited where the car had been parked, lighting up a smoke. One and a half fags later, the Mustang came back around, shuddering and starting. It seemed that Spike's princess was a little too nutters to drive a stick shift.
Spike made short work of stowing their belongings in the back seat, and then he made Red shove over so that he could drive.
"I did just what you said, my Spike. I broke his neck so that his blood wouldn't make pretty pictures all over me."
"Did you put him in the boot?"
Red nodded.
"We'll snack on him in a bit, before the blood gets too cold." Spike caressed her cheek, leaning over to plant a kiss on her lips. "You've done well, pet."
She leaned into his touch, beaming at him.
Red watched Spike drive for a while, taking note of when he shifted gears and when he used the clutch. The human Willow had never learned to drive stick, and so the vampire didn't know either. She paid close attention now, not wanting to look foolish in front of her Dark Prince again.
Eventually, she got bored. She wanted to ask Spike so many things, but she wasn't yet ready to let him know that her crazy act was just that – an act. So she settled for occupying herself with changing Rose's clothes and combing through the doll's hair with her fingers. When that stopped being amusing, she fiddled with the radio stations until Spike snapped at her and turned the station to punk rock. Finally she was reduced to pressing her face against the glass of the window, staring out at the passing scenery.
"Bored now," she whined.
"We'll stop soon, kitten," Spike promised.
"Bored now," Red repeated, dropping into game face. Her demon had little tolerance for being made to wait, and she was irritated and hungry enough not to even attempt to control it.
Spike grinned at her, and suddenly the car was filled with the smell of desire. He liked the look of her demon. He enjoyed her defiance.
Without replying to her again, Spike pulled the car over onto the shoulder of the road. Red clapped her hands, sensing both lust and violence within him. Seconds later and they were out of the car, Spike roughly pulling Red along by the hand.
She reveled in the feel of his fingertips digging into her wrist, in the bruises that he would leave. She pushed, and Spike pushed back. This was what she wanted, what she craved.
This was what Angel hadn't been able to give her.
Spike shoved her down, one large hand grasping her throat. If she needed to breathe, she'd be choking. He slipped into game face, and Red raised her hands to caress his ridges, his beauty making her thighs wet. She put up a token resistance, and then they were rolling along the ground in a haze of intermingled pleasure and pain. It was Red's punishment, but also her reward. In one tangle of blood and sex, Spike was asserting himself as her elder, her sire for all intents and purposes.
But her Brother in Blood, he who shared a maker with her, was giving her a distraction, alleviating her boredom as he played her body like a musician, eliciting waves of pleasure one moment, and curling her toes with pain the next.
Perhaps the intricacies of the act and all its underlying meaning would confuse and horrify her human self. But to the Vampiress Red, it was perfectly simple.
They made their way leisurely down the west coast, heading south, to the border. Spike was thinking they'd hole up in the dark jungles of South America, and he'd teach his girl everything she needed to know about being the Big Bad. He wanted out of the United States for a while. All it had done recently was kick his ass. The Slayer, the Initiative, the bloody Prince of Poofs – they could all have their precious United States.
He'd briefly considered Europe, showing Red around his old stomping grounds, but ultimately decided against it. Europe was the seat of the Watcher's Council. One day Red would be able to walk fearlessly through the front door of their headquarters and all the stuffed shirts would piss themselves in fear, of that he had no doubt, but for now she was newly turned and believed too much in her own immortality. Spike would keep her safe.
And besides, she'd nattered on one night about wishing they could go back in time to the years when he'd been part of the Scourge of Europe. Spike didn't quite have the mojo for time travel, but he could do the next best thing: Take Red to a South American country where the jungle was filled with beasts and people still believed in magic.
They began each night with a hunt, Red killing Spike's Happy Meals for him so that he could drain them without the chip firing. She was still messy, though getting better with practice. But Spike hadn't taken time to teach her much yet. That could wait until they'd found themselves a more permanent lair. Instead, he carefully avoided choosing targets that might be able to put up too much of a fight. He didn't want Red dusted, and the chip would keep him from coming to her rescue.
They'd spend the rest of the night driving, stopping only when the internal sense that warned them of the impending sunrise drove them to take cover in a cheap motel or abandoned factory. Spike made a mental note that Red didn't like the abandoned places. She preferred living amongst humans. It gave her a kick to smile and chat to them, knowing that they never suspected she was the thing that went bump in the night.
She might be as loony as Dru, but there was a twist to her demon that smacked of Angelus. If the poof didn't have his little soul problem, Spike was sure that Red would be his favorite grandchilde.
Hell, soul or no soul, she probably still was his favorite grandchilde.
"What's making puppy growl?" Red inquired from the passenger seat. She was playing with Rose. She'd taken a scarf from the woman they had drained for dinner and was busy fashioning it into a dress for the doll.
Spike blinked, having not realized he was growling. But there it was. Thoughts of Angelus loving Red, taking Spike's princess from him just like the ponce had taken Dru… It was enough to make him grind his fangs together.
"Not a puppy, pet," he corrected Red, easily sidestepping her question.
"If you were my puppy, I could make you bark," she teased, a little white hand coming to rest on his thigh.
Spike smirked at her, quirking one brow in invitation.
She returned his expression with a wicked grin of her own, her eyes flashing amber. Turning, she gently placed Rose in the backseat, and then she leaned down, burying her face in Spike's lap. He groaned at the feel of her tongue and teeth, leaning back and turning up the radio.
In the Punk Rock Candy Mountains you can never break your legs.
And for the price of a forty ounce you can buy yourself a keg.
Cause stores are made for you to loot and ya never gotta pay.
Oh I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Just the kind that you put up your nose
In the Punk Rock Candy Mountains.
Cruising down the highway flush with fresh blood, a smoke in hand, and a beautiful woman sucking him off… This was the bloody unlife.
They were in an internet café, a few days from crossing the border into Mexico. Spike was browsing through the coeds, trying to decide who to seduce back to their motel room. A group of college girls was standing around him, all drawn to the handsome bad boy in the leather jacket who could talk to them about poetry.
Red's gaze darted to a computer, and then to Spike. He looked busy enough. He probably wouldn't notice. It had been weeks since Red had been able to use a computer, and she found that she missed it. And now that she wasn't held back by her human self's goody two shoes nature, she could use her skills much more lucratively.
She'd just finished stealing money from the offshore accounts of various rich jerk faces, just for shits and giggles, when she felt Spike's eyes on her. Immediately, she clapped her hands, spouting some nonsense about the magic box making pretty pictures.
Spike's eyes narrowed.
Through their bond, Red felt a simple command laden with anger that sent chills down her spine. Come with me, sister.
Then he was out the door, one of the coeds on his arm.
Red waited ten minutes, and followed.
Once they'd drained the girl and dumped her in an alley (Red keeping the girl's pearl bracelet as a necklace for Rose), they returned to their room. Spike immediately flung himself onto the bed, though he didn't start flipping through the television channels as usual. Instead, he stared at Red.
She crawled onto the bed after him, tucking herself into his side and laying her head on his chest. He put his arms around her, and she felt safe, a ball of tension she had been unaware of loosening in her gut. Her demon fidgeted within her. Spike was unhappy, and when Spike was unhappy, so was she.
"You're not half as crazy as you pretend, are you?"
Red turned her head to look up at him, lips stretching into a faint smile. "Half as crazy, twice as twisted."
Spike closed his eyes, and Red frowned to herself. Was that … hurt? Did she see betrayal in his face?
"Why?" he asked her, and nothing else.
"Because it was fun," she answered honestly.
"Fun?!" Spike exploded, seemingly flying from the bed. Red was knocked back by the force of his movement. She spun in the air, trying to land on her feet, but instead slammed into the rickety table in the breakfast nook and stumbled to her knees.
She got up and dusted herself off, the broken ends of the splintered wooden table making her nervous. Her Dark Prince wouldn't stake her, would he? He needed her, if for nothing else than to kill his dinner for him. Staking her would make Mummy mad.
Spike was yelling.
"If this is some bloody joke you and Peaches have cooked up," he sputtered, in full vamp face. "Get me out here having the best time I've had since the soddin' chip, only so you can take it away and point and laugh – "
Understanding dawned on Red. She felt her heart stop, and wondered how that could be, since it didn't beat.
Oh, her poor, broken prince. He'd been so cruelly used by the world. She longed to hold him in her arms, to suckle and coddle and whisper that they were together now, born in blood, and soon the only cruelty he would know would be that which they inflicted. The vampiric bonds of family sang a siren song, and maybe a bit of the human she had been was there too, aching to comfort.
She launched herself at Spike, trying to pull him into a kiss, only to have him backhand her, sending her crashing to the ground. Her demon rose, ridges forming on her forehead as she looked up at him, both frightened and aroused by the way he loomed over her and the steely set to his jaw. He snarled at her, pinning her chest to the floor with a knee on each shoulder, and she whimpered, writhing beneath him. He was stronger than her, and a much better fighter. There was no way she could escape him.
But then, she really didn't want to.
He was threatening her with exquisite torture, with tying her up, alone, to meet daylight. His deep voice was filled with the hard edge of a growl, his eyes glowing yellow, his fangs protruding over his lips. It would have been beyond sexy if she hadn't sensed the real despair beneath his rage.
"No one else knows," she squeaked once she could drag in enough air to make her voice box work. She may not need to breathe, but no air meant no speaking.
Spike paused, giving her a calculated look.
She did. She told him how she had fooled Angel, assuming a Drusilla-like persona as a matter of survival. How she had kept it up because it made Angel's lackeys underestimate her. The secrets that had been spoken in front of her, simply because all assumed she wouldn't be able to repeat them with coherency. And she told him that she had not planned to fool him forever, and now she didn't even know why she had done it at all.
Spike got up and started pacing.
Red watched him warily, her eyes tracking his every movement. She chose to stay on the floor, in a clear show of submission.
Going to the dresser, Spike pulled a cigarette out of a half empty pack and lit it up, never mind the 'No Smoking' sign hanging on the wall behind him. But hey, they were evil demons. Smoking in Non-Smoking rooms was a given.
"What the hell are you doing with me then, Red?"
"What?" she asked, sliding back into her human visage.
Spike clutched at his head. "If you were a nutter, then yeah, I can see why you'd come with me. Need someone to look after you and ol' Spike has got plenty of experience, hasn't he?" He let out a strangled laugh. "But if you're not, and I have this thing in my head, can't even catch my own bloody dinner," Spike continued, working himself into a froth. "Is it pity, or curiosity, why would you – "
It's me, isn't it? I'm not really the kind of girl vampires bite.
Willow, William, Will.
"Because you're my brother and I love you," Red interrupted Spike's tirade, getting to her feet. Approaching him cautiously, she paused, and then wrapped her arms around his waist when it didn't seem like he was going to throw her across the room again.
Spike stood dead still. "Real vampires don't love."
"You do," Red countered, running her tongue along Spike's neck to keep him from chiming in that he wasn't a real vampire. She shuddered in anticipation of drinking from him, tasting that heady elixir that was his centuries old blood. "I do. We may not love wisely, but we can love well."
"You sound like Dru." Spike's face relaxed, his demonic ridges fading away.
Poor baby. He was afraid. Afraid of her leaving him. Knowing that she meant so much sent a coil of smug contentedness through her undead heart.
She shook her head. "We are everything we were when we were human, but more," Red told her Dark Prince, feeling down to her demon that what she said was true. And it was. They were the distilled essence of what had been – what was left when all the namby pamby softness of moderation and conscience had been burned away. "Willow was smart. I am cunning. William was a man of love, and Spike is a vampire of all consuming passion."
She kissed him, and he returned the embrace, his fingers winding into her bright red hair.
"How do you know about William?" he murmured in her ear, some of his rage returning. She hummed at the feel of his nails slicing tiny cuts into her scalp.
"Mummy told me. How many times do I have to tell you we were made for each other?" she whispered against his lips.
They made love throughout the night and well into the day, gentler with each other than they had ever been before. They weren't Red and Spike so much as they were William and Willow, the remnants of their despised human selves somehow a balm to each other. William seemed like a man at sea, desperately clutching at Willow as if she were the only thing keeping him from drowning. He still didn't believe her. William couldn't bear to believe, and then find out it was a lie.
But Willow didn't mind. She had an eternity to prove herself to him.
And Red liked being the focus of Spike's fear.
The night they reached Mexico, Spike stopped just before the border and found a payphone. Peaches had said to call when they were safe. Spike had a… complicated relationship with his grandsire, but he'd let the poof know they'd got out of the country, if only to keep himself from a dull lecture the next time he crossed paths with the git.
And he wanted to listen to him speak to Red. He wanted to look her in the face to see if she was lying to him.
After Dru leaving him, first for Angelus, and then for other demons, he couldn't find it within himself to accept that Red wanted to be with him. It was just asking for trouble. Beyond stupid to believe that she'd willingly travel with a neutered vampire, master or not. She thought Angel was a ponce with his soulful reluctance to kill. She'd said as much. Why didn't Spike's chip make him just as pathetic?
"Angel Investigations," the cheerleader's voice came over the phone.
"Put the poof on," Spike commanded.
The chit sounded scared. That put Spike in a marginally better mood.
There was a screech that hurt Spike's ears, and then a long pause. Angel said, "Spike?"
"We're about to leave the country."
A sigh of relief. "Good. Good."
Neither of them knew what else to say. Static buzzed over the line. Then, casually, Spike offered Angel the chance to speak with Red.
"Yes. I'd like that."
"C'mere, poodle," Spike motioned Red over. She rolled her eyes at him, but she came, her doll tucked into the crook of her arm. He'd expected her to stop carting the thing around once she'd admitted she wasn't really crazy, but to his surprise she was actually attached to it. And she kept up the barmy talk when they were anywhere another demon might see them.
"Might come in handy one day. Give us an edge we need," she'd said when he questioned her about it.
He hadn't been able to argue.
But still, his suspicions lingered.
He handed Red the phone, watching her face as she put it to her ear. She kept her eyes locked with his.
"Granddaddy," she said in a tone that screamed of boredom.
"Willow," Spike could hear Angel return. He chatted at her for a minute, asking how she was, asking where she was, as if she might forget herself and tell him. On and on the poof went, with little halting pauses between topics as he waited for Red to reply to him. She never did, until finally, a twinkle of mischief in her eye, she said, "Hanging up now," in that same bored tone.
And then she did just that.
Spike sucked at his cheeks, feeling uncertain and hating it. He was the Big Bad – he shouldn't be reduced to this by anyone, not his sire, not his sister.
Not the bloody Initiative.
Red took a step closer, raising her hand to twine black painted nails in his hair. She'd gotten into his bottle of polish during the day. He'd woken to find her touching up the enamel on his nails, her own already painted.
She pulled his head down, and he let her, closing his eyes as he buried his face in her neck. He inhaled, taking in her scent. She smelled like leather, cigarette smoke, vanilla, and him. It calmed him, soothing the fears he wouldn't admit to out loud.
"Ready to go, my prince?" Red asked him softly.
He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight against his chest. A human would have been crushed, suffocated in his embrace.
"Let's go, princess," he said at last.

Special report
Atlanta's pitching dynasty rests on Millwood
Chris Colston, USA TODAY Baseball Weekly
MEMBERS of the Atlanta Braves' pitching staff on a fishing trip, stomping through
Florida woods thick with sweet gum and water locust. One of them is a wily veteran;
the other is a novice, still learning his craft. Lizards scurry into the brush
as the veteran and his homeboy, Darrell, crunch past in their Caterpillar work
They find a cool, mossy spot by the pond, and
the novice feels good about his chances of catching something, because the veteran
and his buddy have that reassuring way about them: calm and relaxed, like everything
is going to be just fine.
The novice casts. It's a good
long one. Oops, too long; the hook gets caught on something. Rookie mistake. He
pulls but it won't give. He feels like a fool, and the veteran and Darrell could
have a big laugh at his expense, but that doesn't happen.
they just sort of nod. Aw, it ain't no problem. Darrell just gives the novice
that look like he's seen it before and drawls, "I'll get it," and pulls himself
up and plops into the waist-deep water, just like he's going out to pick up the
morning paper.
He yanks the line free and there's nothing
on the end of it but dripping green muck that looks like wet, frizzy spinach.
now that novice is 34-year-old Greg Maddux and the wily veteran is Kevin Millwood,
"We didn't catch anything that day," Maddux says,
shaking his head, flashing a quick impish grin. "Not in that pond."
didn't matter to Maddux; he's no fisherman. Golf and Nintendo are his specialties.
thing is, Millwood is a fisherman. He takes this stuff seriously.
last surprise is that it didn't bother him, either.
WILL HAPPEN when Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz have left and gone away?
Will Atlantans look to them with lonely eyes, or will right-hander Kevin Millwood
become the chosen one, the one to gather 'round the pupils and dispense the wisdom
bestowed upon him by his esteemed elders?
Is this big
ol' country boy from Bessemer City, N.C., the one to keep the hallowed trio's
flame burning?
Two years ago it appeared certain that
he would carry that torch. He went 18-7 with a 2.68 ERA, finishing third in the
Cy Young voting, and was nearly unhittable in the NL Division Series against Houston.
last year things went awry "He had absolutely no luck, right from Opening
Day," manager Bobby Cox says and he finished 10-13 with a career-high 4.66
The Braves are taking a deep breath and hoping
Millwood will bounce back. Like Cox says, he had some bad luck, and, at 26, he's
still young, and he has no history of arm trouble. Last year was just one of those
"You can't win 18 games every year," right-hander
Smoltz reasons.
Plus he's got the right mentality. "He
never gets too high or too low," Smoltz adds. "He's not going to get carried away
with too many things."
But this spring has been even
worse, with batters hitting .461 against him. At one point his ERA soared to 20.25.
He couldn't have pitched much worse.
During the first
two weeks of March, Braves pitching coach Leo Mazzone wasn't overly concerned
with his big man's control problems. He knows, at 6-4 and 220 pounds, Millwood
will always have some long motions in his delivery.
when Millwood's problems persisted through the month, Mazzone invited Hall of
Famer Don Sutton down from the Braves' broadcast booth to offer help.
1999, Sutton worked with Millwood on shortening his stride, and he won 17 of his
final 22 decisions. While that sounds like a good idea, keep in mind pitching
is like a golf swing; when you're struggling, everybody wants to offer advice.
You start hearing so many different things ...
best way for me to help him is not to fill his head up with too much advice, which
was what happened to me," Smoltz says. "I had 100 people telling me 100 different
things at his age, giving me advice on how to pitch. Everybody had a theory. But
nobody knew the inner workings of what was going on with me."
Glavine concurs.
"There's as much information as you
want on pitching," he says. "I've always said it doesn't hurt to listen, but you
ultimately have to be smart enough to figure out what works for you, and Kevin's
good at that.
"There's an abundance of information out
there, but not all of it is going to pertain to him."
has always asked questions who wouldn't pick the brains of a Maddux, a
Glavine, a Smoltz but, according to Glavine, "Kevin is smart enough to
realize that the information he's getting, he doesn't have to go out and do it
that way. He's gotta figure out how that information relates to him."
though he still had some terrible innings in his next-to-last start of
the spring, he allowed Cleveland nine hits and six runs in five innings
Millwood processed enough of the advice to start plodding in the right direction.
In an exhibition game against Cleveland three days before the season opener, he
went three innings without giving up a hit, bringing his ERA down to 12.46.
said Millwood was "good in spurts," and Millwood said things on the mound weren't
as "nerve-racking" as before.
Uh-oh. A laid-back guy
such as Millwood, using the words nerve-racking? Is that what happens when a good
outing brings your ERA "down" to 12.46? Could this be a red flag? A shift from
his relaxed demeanor?
Or maybe, could the guy be just
a teensy-weensy bit nervous because he and wife, Rena, were expecting their first
child in a week?
He said as much to the Atlanta Constitution
before the club headed to Atlanta.
"I'm sick of this
place," he said of Orlando. "I'm ready go home and have our baby."
HIS PROBLEMS are more serious than stress induced by the prospect of changing
dirty diapers, then the future of the Braves could be in trouble. Although it
seems like Maddux, Glavine, 35, and Smoltz, 33, will pitch forever, one day their
run will end. There are some good pitching prospects in the organization, but
none of them higher than Double-A.
Matt McClendon, a
promising 23-year-old right-hander, has pitched just 22 games beyond the Class
A level; right-handers Matt Belisle and Billy Sylvester, zero.
Jason Marquis, an intense competitor, could provide help as a setup man, but right
now he's no better than a fifth-starter type in a pinch.
top pitching prospect, right-hander Adam Wainwright, hasn't pitched beyond rookie
When you consider the ballclub recently fired
10 people from the scouting and development department, it makes you wonder, what
happens if this crop doesn't pan out?
was set to pitch his first playoff game, he rode to the game in Smoltz's truck,
eating fried chicken sandwiches and waffle fries, sipping Cokes and listening
to Clint Black on the stereo.
He was 24 years old.
Millwood's style more closely resembles Smoltz's than anybody else on the staff,
he's been his unofficial mentor.
"We're more power-type
guys," Smoltz says. "We don't try to get too picture-perfect, too fine."
advice that October day in 1999: "Find the dangerous batter and don't let him
beat you."
In this case it was Houston first baseman
Jeff Bagwell. Millwood took his friend's words to heart, throwing a one-hit complete
game, striking out eight. Only two men reached base: third baseman Ken Caminiti
hit a homer, and Bagwell reached on a throwing error.
wasn't Don Larsen, but it was close.
"That's as good
a pitching performance as I've seen in a long time," Astros manager Larry Dierker
said after the game.
Millwood and Smoltz hang out a
lot, but sometimes they go days without talking baseball.
thinks we talk shop all the time," Smoltz says, "but that's not the case. We try
to get away from that."
They might listen to some country
Millwood likes Black just fine and he "digs the Dixie Chicks," but George
Strait is his favorite because "he's kind of old-time, you know. He still sings
some of the older country, along with the new" or they might argue college
hoops. Millwood is a big Duke fan; Smoltz, born in Warren, Mich., favors Michigan
State. Both teams were in the Final Four, so the discussions have been particularly
animated lately.
Then again, the two might sit down
and discuss the true meaning of the Wedding Feast of the Lamb in Revelations.
MANY BRAVES FANS, the Holy Trinity is Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz.
Millwood it has the more traditional meaning.
Thursday morning during the offseason he and Smoltz, teammate Keith Lockhart and
about a dozen others met at J.R.'s Place in Duluth, Ga., to study the Bible. Comedian
Jeff Foxworthy sometimes joined them.
"There were no
redneck jokes," Millwood says, "but Jeff did keep everyone relaxed.
the best thing about it; we're in there learning, but we're having fun, too."
had been attending the studies for five years; Millwood, the last year and a half,
when he began exploring his faith a little deeper. Since then, he says, he's "really
gotten into it."
"It's, maybe, turned my life around
a little bit more than it was in the past," he says. "Studying with John, Keith,
different guys, we open up a little bit and we talk about things you wouldn't
expect people to talk about.
"No, we don't get into
too many discussions about dinosaurs or how much dust there is on the moon.
in there trying to learn a little bit more about God."
says the sessions give his life balance.
"This is a
pressure business," he says. "There are expectations to win pressure from
the media, from the fans. Our jobs are played out on TV in front of millions every
day. We're well-paid, but it's tough.
"My faith gives
me the right foundation. Without it I would never be able to be consistent in
my job."
The same goes for Millwood. "It helps me forget
about the 50,000 people in the stands and just worry about what I'm doing," he
says. "I don't get bothered by things. It's kind of all taken care of for me.
I just go out and relax and have fun."
Getting thrown in with Glavine, Maddux and Smoltz can be a blessing, and it can
be a curse. There's the opportunity to learn from the best, but, like Smoltz says,
expectations are high.
"A lot of guys have had the chance
to be the fourth starter on this staff," Mazzone says, "and they couldn't do it.
They either didn't have the ego or the emotional makeup for the role.
Millwood has been able to do it."
It's not easy being
a kid trying to fill a spot on a perennial playoff contender. Then, on top of
that, you gotta fit in that golfing foursome, too.

have definitely been other guys here who have been intimidated by being a part
of this rotation," Glavine says, "but I never got the sense that Kevin felt that
way. I don't think he was caught up in trying to prove anything to anybody or
become one of the 'Big Four' or anything like that. He just tried to go out there
and do his thing. I think that's one of the traits that stuck out about him
he didn't seem to be (intimidated).
"If he was, he hid
it well."
Millwood just looks at it as another chance
to observe and learn.
"I watch how those guys
carry themselves around the clubhouse, on the field, off the field," he says.
"That's the biggest thing, seeing how true professionals handle themselves."

Kevin wants to play, he's in," Glavine says. "When he doesn't, our golfing coordinator,
Smoltzie, will find somebody.
"But Kevin always gets
asked first."
So, yeah, Millwood makes his good ol'
boy thang work to his advantage. Ain't nothin' gonna get him too riled.

"He's at ease about everything, really,"
Glavine says. "His demeanor is what it is. So you can always tell when he gets
hot about something. And when that happens, you better get out of his way.
it takes some time to get him to that point."
Like what,
a bad tee shot?
"It won't take one tee shot," Glavine
says. "It will take several bad tee shots. But to his credit, it generally doesn't
last too long."
Between tee shots, the topic of pitching
might come up. But most of the time, Millwood just talks to the Big Three about
life. Things like the price of gas or standing in line at the ATM.
the great thing about our pitching staff hanging out as much as we do on the golf
course, because that's more time we can spend together," Glavine says. "Whether
we're talking about pitching or life, there are things to be gained there. There
are friendships to be had, people to lean on, and you need those things over the
course of your career."
WHEN KEVIN MILLWOOD talks, he
takes his time. There are lulls and you just ride them out, because you can't
be in a hurry and have a conversation with him. If he had a mantra, it probably
would be, "go with the flow."
But he isn't the kind
of guy who would use the word "mantra."
He's an avid
outdoorsman, but he's not hard-core. Whether he fishes or golfs or hunts depends
on the day.
"I don't like to fish in the cold, and I
don't like to hunt in the heat," he says.
When he hunts,
he looks for deer or quail. "I haven't had the chance to go after too many exotic
animals," he says, "but I'm thinking I'd like to get a bear. Probably a brown
bear or something like that. But that season is always in the springtime, and
I'm always working then, so ..."
Teammate Chipper Jones
recently bought a 4,200-acre ranch in south Texas, just 15 miles north of the
Mexican border, and Millwood already has made plans to check it out when the season
is over.
"Chipper has already invited me down there
to kill one of his deer," he says. (Don't be surprised if Jones talks Millwood
into throwing him a few pitches. He's set up a batting cage in one of the big
The offseason is nice, he says; it affords him
more time at home with Rena, and it gives him a chance to indulge in one of his
favorites things: breakfast.
"I think I could eat grits
and eggs twice a day, every day," he says. "But during the season, I rarely get
the chance. We play mostly night games, so I'm lucky if I'm up before 11 a.m."
Then, you know, it's time for lunch.
He might never
get sick of grits and eggs, but he does start getting restless around January.
"In all the things I do in my life, my favorite time is that hour when I'm just
getting to the ballpark," he says.
"Not that I don't
enjoy being at home; I love being with my family. But I love arriving at the ballpark,
just hanging around, playing cards, talking to the guys. That's a pretty good
time for me. I enjoy that."
MAYBE MILLWOOD'S WOES are
something to worry about. Then again, maybe they're not. There is no physical
problem; it just seems to be a matter of mechanics. Hitters have slumps; why can't
"I wouldn't draw him up as picture-perfect,"
Mazzone says. "He has trouble sometimes repeating his motions because he's such
a big man.
"But he always fights his way through it.
He keeps his mouth shut and does his work, and since he's been here he's never
missed a start. He's a big horse you can go to war with. He's a professional."
the great thing about Millwood; he'll pitch when he doesn't feel well. He gives
you innings. He has the manner that can steer him through troubled waters
even when the enemy is batting nearly .500 against him and the fish aren't biting.

September 2016
While great progress has been made, millions of Americans who could benefit from the ACA's health coverage opportunities remain uninsured.
Enroll America has developed recommendations for the next presidential administration to preserve the gains made in health coverage since the Affordable Care Act was enacted and continue the momentum to reach the remaining uninsured. The five recommendations are focused on the specific steps the next administration should take to control costs and ease enrollment for consumers.
- Invest in an aggressive outreach effort to reach the remaining uninsured.
- Make in-person enrollment assistance available to every American.
- Ensure consumers have affordable choices on the marketplace.
- Double down on data transparency.
- Operate a state of the art, accessible enrollment system via HealthCare.gov by OE5.

Indian swimmers top Emporia at home meet
Facing a quick turnaround from last week's home meet on Wednesday, the Manhattan High girls' swimming and diving team still had enough in the tank to win on Monday.
The Indians scored 426 points to finish ahead of second-place Emporia (361) and third-place Garden City (316). Hays (153) and Thomas More Prep-Marian (37) rounded out the field at the KSU Natatorium.
"Monday meets are tough," Manhattan coach Jerry Carpenter said. "It is always good to have a few days at the beginning of the week to get in some practice prior to competing, with a meet on Monday, that's not an option. But we had some girls step up with best times and I saw many great races where we won our share."
Monday's meet was the first chance for the Indians to see another league favorite in Emporia. Carpenter said there were a couple things working in Manhattan's favor Monday that could be much different at the Centennial League meet in May.
"From a team standpoint we had quite a battle with Emporia," he said. "Their 'A-team' 200 medley relay had a false start and they left their divers at home. Without these variables, the meet would have been very close. I'm certain the league meet is going to be battle. We need to have great focus in the coming weeks and continue to work hard and tighten up some technique issues if we are going to be successful."
The Indians won 8 of 12 events to bolster their team score on the day, including two of three relays.
Manhattan won the 200 medley relay (2:06.20) and the 400 freestyle relay (4:00.67), while taking second in the 200 freestyle relay (1:54.84). Individually, Hannah Funk won the 200 free (2:11.82) and the 100 free (59.31), while Mariah Scipio won the 200 individual medley (2:30.90) and the 500 free (5:45.98). Katarina Zdolsek won the 100 breast (1:19.84), while Alyssa Sheff won the diving event with a 150.45.
Other top three finishers included Alana Bucholtz in the 200 individual medley (2nd, 2:31.63) and 100 fly (2nd, 1:08.37), Zdolsek in the 50 free (3rd, 27.92), Kristin Queen in diving (2nd, 134.45), Makayla Walters in the 100 fly (3rd, 1:09.83), Cris Oropesa in the 100 back (3rd, 1:11.49) and Katie Bussman in the 100 breast (3rd, 1:23.43).
"The girls are training very hard now, so fatigue is definitely a factor," Carpenter said. "We will continue with a high volume of training which includes our 100 x 100 workout on Friday."
Manhattan will take the rest of the week off before hosting another home meet on Wednesday, April 24.

Artist: Frederic Remington (American, Canton, New York 1861–1909 Ridgefield, Connecticut)
Date: 1908, cast ca. 1916
Medium: Bronze
Dimensions: 10 7/8 x 6 1/4 x 6 in. (27.6 x 15.9 x 15.2 cm)
Classification: Sculpture
Credit Line: Bequest of Jacob Ruppert, 1939
Accession Number: 39.65.51a, b
Remington created The Savage, copyrighted in 1908, as a pendant to his only other bust, The Sergeant (39.65.52a, b) of four years earlier. Both, miniaturized in scale, represent early twentieth-century stereotypes rather than specific individuals. The physiognomy and defiant facial expression depicted in The Savage represents one of Remington's primary characterizations of Native Americans in his sculptures, including in The Cheyenne and The Scalp. Only one cast of The Savage, which Remington wrote of seeing in the window of Tiffany & Company in 1908, appears to have been produced during his lifetime; its location remains unknown. The Metropolitan's example, cast number 10, was authorized by Remington's widow, Eva, and recorded in the Roman Bronze Works ledger in May 1916.

Race and Ethics of Alterity in Richard Wright's Native Son
€ 49,90
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Februar 2015
BeschreibungIt is clear that the problems of race and racism will never finish. This book focused on the racial problems that who is responsible for the superiority of whites and for inferiority of blacks in white dominant societies. Emmanuel Levinas's moral philosophy known as Alterity deals with the concepts of responsibility, the encounter with the face-of-the-Other, the responsibility from this encounter and the reaction to this responsibility resists the question of race and racism and offers the ways of having an ethical life. This study within Levinas's framework and through his notion of Alterity intends to examine familial and social relationships of black and white characters in Richard Wright's Native Son that obviously shows the supremacy of whites and inferiority of blacks in order to find whether their relations are ethical or not. It shows that instead of discrimination in racist societies, people can have the moral society with accepting equality among each other.

Disclaimer: I own nothing about this story. Only my own twist to the plot.
Thanks to my betareader BrittanaLover88, this was posted today tehe.
Chapter 3.
'Santana, pay attention', mister Schuester said in Spanish class.
She just rolled her eyes. Why didn't anyone in this school understand that she was fluent in Spanish. Many others were too, why were they wasting time in Spanish class? She didn't get it. She sighed and ignored her teacher's orders and continued drawing doodles in her notepad, occasionally staring out the window. It had started to rain now. She sighed again. That would make her hair curl and she decided that she'd stay inside the building for the remainder of the school day and then she would hurry home and don't care anymore.
Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted as she heard the door to the classroom open and as she turned her attention to the intruder, her jaw almost dropped. By mister Schuester stood an amazingly beautiful blonde girl. She was tall, thin but looked muscular, golden hair and delicate features. She was the most beautiful girl Santana had ever laid eyes on. She suddenly snapped out of it and felt her cheeks start to burn as she had finally realised what she was doing.
'Alright class, please welcome Brittany Pierce to the class. She just transfered here. Brittany you can take the empty desk right over there.' Mister Schuester pointed towards an empty desk and seat next to Santana. She nodded slowly and sadly and walked over to the desk that he was pointing to. She sat down, not looking in any direction at anyone. She just wanted the day to be over with. She hated first day of school, first day of dance class, first day of everything really. Most of all she hated first day without her mom in her life. She almost started crying again, but managed to stop the tears from spilling over. Suddenly she felt eyes on her and she glanced to her left. There sat a brunette girl with chocolate brown eyes and latina looks. She was beautiful and Brittany smiled a faint smile, causing the other girl to smile back.
As the girl got closer to her and the empty desk, Santana could see something was up with this girl. The way her body language spoke told her something was wrong. The girl looked sad, the way she moved was sad. She got curious and wanted to know the girl better. As the girl sat down, she continued to watch her, throwing glances at her, and as the blonde girl turned her head and made eye contact with the latina, she noticed piercing crystal blue eyes. She could drown in those eyes, however right now they were very sad and she could see tears glisten in them, threatening to fall over. She wanted to comfort the girl, but didn't know how to, or what was wrong. She just knew she wanted to, so she smiled. When she was rewarded with a smile in return, yet a faint smile but still a smile, she felt better but she knew nothing about this girl and she wanted to now. She intrigued her.
Finally the class ended and the other students and mister Schuester hurried out of the classroom, leaving Santana and Brittany behind. Santana because she wanted to get to know the blonde, and Brittany because she didn't want to be in school. She felt so alone and lonely, that feeling was the worst when you felt both of those things.
'Hey, I'm Santana' the latina tried to start conversation and brought her out of her thoughts.
'Brittany' she replied quietly.
'Are you okay?' Santana asked abruptedly.
Brittany started to slowly nod, but gradually went to shaking her head instead.
'I just .. I want the day to be over' she said so quiet she almost whispered.
'Don't we all' Santana said, as she rolled her eyes, trying to sound funny so the blonde would at least giggle, but got no response.
The blonde stood up, gathering her things as she sighed.
'Sorry, I just ..I don't know' she said and started walking out of the classroom, leaving a surprised and somewhat disappointed Santana behind her.
'Wait' Santana called after her, making her stop in her tracks, but her back still facing Santana.
'Wait' Santana quickly gathered her things and hurried after the taller blonde girl.
Brittany turned around slowly, and faced Santana with a sad, questioning look.
'I just want to get to know you, and you need friends in this school' Santana said, starting to feel a bit uneasy with the girl for the first time. Not that they knew each other or even spent more than five minutes together but still, she was uneasy with the blonde for the first time, and she didn't know why. She looked up into blue eyes and felt herself start to drown again before snapping out of it.
'Trust me, you need friends in this school, and that's what I want to be. Your friend.' She smiled a crooked, faint smile up at the girl.
'Why?' came the question, throwing her off guard a little bit.
'Why? Well I .. uh ..' Santana didn't know how to respond to that. 'I just .. thought you needed a friend is all, but if you don't want to then fine. I'll leave you alone. Don't come and say I didn't try when you need a friend.'
Santana brushed past the blonde, almost fuming with anger. What the heck was up with her. All she did was offer her a hand and it felt like she cut off the entire arm.
Brittany sighed. That was not what she wanted to do on her first day of school, but she didn't want to do anything about it right now. She understood that school was about friends as well, not just homework and learning things. She should get some friends. The latina girl was just offering friendship, and she had put her off completely.
She sighed again, unsure of what to do now. The day was not over yet, in fact lunch hadn't even happened yet. More than half the day was left. She held her things in a tight grip, and exited the room heading towards her locker to install herself in it.
A/N sorry it took me a while to update. Hopefully this makes up some of it. R&R please and no flames.

Representative Tom Rooney Flip Flops on Everglades Protection
Rooney: When I voted against the Everglades, I really meant to vote for the Everglades
Will Representative Rooney stand up for the Florida Everglades?
Depends which way the wind blows.
Two weeks ago, Representative Rooney voted against protecting 600 acres of Florida Everglades. Then, today, he flip-flopped and voted the other way.
"Rooney's opinion of the Everglades seems to change by the day. First he voted against protecting 600 acres of the Everglades. Then, when it was politically expedient, he changed his tune," said Jessica Santillo, Southern Regional Press Secretary for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "What will Representative Rooney try to do next, turn the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon into landfills?"
- Sec. 7107 of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act contains a provision to allow Everglades National Park to purchase 600 acres of land and water from the Nature Conservancy.
- Representative Rooney voted against the Omnibus Public Land Management Act [Roll Call Vote, 3/11/2009].

Poem--'Scared of Tomorrow'
Poem by: Mike Stevens
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
No Houses
Scared of Tomorrow
In the dark of my room, the specters shows the face
of my imagination's worst possible scenarios; they freeze me in place
I fight a losing battle with my darkest thoughts
It's like I'm chasing a ghost that refuses to be caught
Not seeing it clearly is so much worse
than seeing what it really is and dealing with what, of coarse
It grows and grows in my mind, till it's this ferocious beast
that looms over me with blood-red eyes, and then it will cease
to be something that I can solve
It grows more terrible, until it evolves
into a hopeless situation that I cannot defeat
It just sits there and grinds away; it won't let me be
With each pass through my brain the what-ifs change around
until they're insurmountable, and then they'll drag me down
Even as I think of them I realize what I do,
but that realization doesn't help; each what-if is a new,
even higher wall that towers over my head
Impossible to climb, they fill me with dread
For that reason, I'm scared of tomorrow
For what's to come next, I just don't know

Great job!!! I got scared... Lol and that takes a lot!!!
I am interested in the inspiration!!! Future worries is vague...but also extremely relevant and compelling. Amzing job...
I can relate to this Mike. Always "What-if" with me and so panic attacks and all that goes with them follow. So funny you wrote this and I read it today as today is a big "what-if " day for me. Why can't we just take today and forget about tomorrow?? If only it was that easy.
Great write dear friend and made me realise I was alone. God bless you...... Pat

Sorry Mike meant to say "wasn't".... Pat

WASHINGTON - The US Army has brought charges against 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers after they allegedly appeared having sex on a gay pornography website.
Three of the soldiers face courts-martial, where they will be charged with sodomy and engaging in sex acts for money.
Four others have received so-called non-judicial punishments. The Army has recommended that all seven men be discharged from the service.
The military-themed website was apparently run from an address in the North Carolina city of Fayetteville, which adjoins the 82nd Airborne's headquarters at Fort Bragg.
The operator of the website has yet to comment.
A spokesman for the 82nd, Major Thomas Earnhardt, said: "It's isolated to the unit, and our investigation determined that these seven individuals were the only ones."
Steve Ralls, a spokesman for Servicemembers Legal Defence Network, which helps gays and lesbians in the military, said:
"I'm not going to make excuses for service members who are taking part in sexual conduct for money."

New Jeep, strange radio
Hey everyone,
I just bought a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara and since its only 1 day old (to me that is), i'm checking everything out but have a question about the stereo.
1. Has UConnect buttons but says it isn't configured, is this a software change or hardware, i'm asking because of the second strange thing about it...
2. The radio is labled DVD and the installed package says "AM/FM Stereo Radio w/In-Dash 6-Disc DVD/MP3 Player".
This thing doesn't have a screen to watch any DVD's nor does it have NAV. No one at the dealer had any clue as to the "DVD" part of this stereo.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
It probably just has an output on the back for a dvd player to be added. Kind of like when a head unit says changer on it and has the controls for a CD changer. Just my guess though
google the manufacture and model # and download pdf instructions
I googled all I can on the part number (05064920AE) and all I can find is that it a REQ. I removed the vent cover and removed the radio and found out that it does have connectors for uconnect and DVD but could not find any PDF file on it online.
I guess my next thing to find is the uconnect module (at least for a resonable price). I'm shocked that it's price is that high. Once I get that worked out, then i'll hunt down the DVD portion.
Thanks for the replies.
This head unit can, with aftermarket support, read DVD's and send the video to screens. It can also read audio DVD's that can hold more songs/info than CD's. The U-Connect "feature" is a joke! $285 for the module and microphone? I think they finally put it in the 2010s.
Yeah, looks like i'm just going to replace it with a MyGig RBZ so I can have NAV too. I've seen them on ebay for about $300-350. Question I have is, does the RBZ have everything built in or is there anything that I would need to get? It looks like it would just swap out. If anyone knows of the right model that I can use that has NAV to swap out with the REQ, please let me know. I don't want to buy a RBZ if it won't work.
Anyone have an idea if I can replace a REQ with a RBZ? If so, is there anything extra that I would need for the RBZ?
GeoCoordinates in Navigation 2010 Wrangler
Hi. I'm a geocacher and was super excited about having built in Nav with my new Wrangler. Only problem is, the geocoordinates aren't coming up right. I've checked the settings and am using the decimal Long/Lat but something isn't right. Can anyone help?

We ate here on 14 February having previously eaten here some 4 years ago. We returned due to our previous experience. Another very good experience.

This is a small place where clearly those visiting know why they are coming here. The food is excellent and the menu is a dream for anyone loving fish and seafood. We had a great time, thank you for that
One of the best lobsters I have had in Paris. Service was on point, although that day they were short of staff. Our waitress was so gracious and apologized for anything that may not have been perfect at the close of our lunch.
The restaurant was recommended by our hotel. We enjoyed our first visit so much we returned two nights later and it was equally as good. The restaurant is quite small and was full for both our visits so would recommend pre-booking. There were two of us. Price was not our main concern. Our meal for two was about 90 euros...
This is an excellent seafood restaurant a block or so from the Louvre Museum. The Vin & Maree (Wine & Tide) accommodated our part of five and one infant for lunch on June 21, 2015. Two of us had a seafood pasta dish that was cooked and served in a foil tent. Juicy bits of mixed seafood over pasta in...
This restaurant was recommended to me by a French friend & we were not disappointed. Even though this says Boulevard Voltaire we actually ate at the one on Maine. It was within walking distance of Pullman Montparnasse hotel & Gare Montparnasse. It is a good idea to have reservations which our concierge did for us. It has a delightful ambience...
We went here on our last evening in Paris as we fancied some seafood. The waiters were all attentive, politely spoke to us in English, and we're patient with our indecisiveness.
We went for the 'Prestige' platter for two. To be honest, it was a little too much food for us, and I think the smaller platter would've been a...
So we tried going to another seafood restaurant on the same night (Monday) only to be told no reservation, no luck. Found this place just down from Gare Montparnasse by accident and couldn't have been luckier! The staff was great, the restaurant very comfortable, and the food was beyond great! The two friends I was with had never really tried...

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My brother has original copy of fathers will. Stepmother said he made another will and then tore it up. Never saw it so don't know if second will actually existed. Will will that brother has be valid?
If that prior will revoked the former will then it become null and void once the new will was signed. So you must find a signed copy. If that is the case then the first will is void. As a result, the father died intestate and the rules of intestate succession would control who gets his estate.
