Through the Eyes of Hope, Something Good Will Appear5 Reviews
Spencer and the guys tell how they really feel about Courtney touring with them. Plot thickens a tad bit more.
huge thanks to laughlikeyoumeanit for being the first reviewer. oh and geets, yes i LOVE saved by the bell. zach was my ultimate crush when i was about 3 years old haha.
Chapter Two: Through the Eyes of Hope, Something Good Will Appear
The piercing screech from the microphone caused everyone around to cover their ears as Brendon apologized into it, making sure not to have the same result. They were playing in West Virginia today at a club-like venue. It was around 11am and the soundboard was not working correctly for any band. Aggravation kicked in and soon the sound technician told the guys to go ahead and do what they wanted, this was going to take a few hours. Back in the front of the lobby, Courtney and Lacey were busy dealing with the merch. It was almost Tuesday, which meant that Courtney had to fax Lisa at Fueled By Ramen the current merch sales and order some more designs that were going low.
"Box 4 has two hundred and four left," Lacey said as Courtney wrote the number down on the clipboard that lay beside her out stretched leg. For it only being her third day on the tour, Lacey had caught on quickly, a huge relief on Courtney's conscience. She was somewhat worried on Lacey's first official day about how she would handle everything, but she did it like a champ. Courtney was very impressed with her approach to the fans that came up that night and bought merch, a smile on her face as she helped everyone who came to the booth.
Courtney's trance on the floor was broken when a body sat next to her; a Monster appearing in front of her face.
"It amazes me how you always know when I'm craving one," she smiled as she grabbed it from Spencer's hand and popped the tab, taking a long gulp.
"It doesn't take a genius to know that you're always craving one," he replied sarcastically.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I take it sound check is not going so good?" she said as she placed the can in between the two and began writing on the clip board.
"Ugh, no. The stupid sound thing is screwed up and right when we think it's going good, something happens. I hope they figure out what's wrong soon, because I really want to go lay down before we do the interview this afternoon," he groaned, placing his head on top of his arm.
"Do you still have that cold? Have you been taking the medicine I got you?" Courtney replied, her sisterly duties kicking in. She put the pen she was holding in her mouth and raised her arm, checking Spencer's forehead with the inside of her forearm. He did feel a little warm and was looking a tad pale. It seemed everyone was getting sick. Brendon had been puking earlier this morning and had only come out of his bunk to do sound check.
"Yeah I have, but I don't think it's helped all that much. I think I'm just gonna go lay down. Will you wake me when we have the interview?" he asked as he started to lift himself off the ground.
"Yeah, I'll make you some soup later too,"
"Thanks, bye guys," Spencer said before turning and walking down the hallway and through the doors that lead backstage.
"I hope I don't get sick," Lacey said as she looked over at Courtney.
"Oh I know, I hate being sick. It's the most god-awful feeling ever," she said as she grabbed her Monster taking another sip before her and Lacey began hanging up the different tee-shirt designs on the wall.
It was a clear day out with a slight breeze. Behind the venue was a little shaded area with an old, worn out, wooden picnic table in the middle of a grassy patch. Courtney and Ryan were sitting on one of the benches, heads resting on their folded arms, facing one another. Ryan's iPod lay just above their heads, Emery spilling out of the headphones.
"Do you think Jon would join the band if we asked him?" Ryan said quietly, trying to not break the mood that had enveloped them.
"Yeah why? Have you guys been talking about it?" Courtney asked bringing her hand up to the side of her face to push some hair that had fallen in front of it.
"Yeah, I mean we've been friends with him for a few months and he fits in. I think we're going to ask him soon though."
"I think he'll accept. He's a good guy and he really likes playing bass. Don't worry too much about it; everything will work out in the end." Courtney sat up to pull her black Just Surrender hoodie tighter over her body as a breeze came by, before Ryan pulled her closer towards him and wrapped an arm around her waist as she rested her head on her arms once again. They had a strange relationship these two. Age had no influence in it though, seeing as he was two years older than her. If a complete stranger had approached these two, it would look pretty obvious that they were a couple, but the truth was they had never pursued anything. The closest they got to remotely showing their feelings were kisses on the cheek and hugs they exchanged. It's not like anything could happen though; Ryan had a girlfriend of four months, Jamie.
"Remember when Spencer told your parents about him wanting you to come on tour?" Ryan asked as he opened his eyes to be met with Courtney's closed ones. Ryan studied her features, noticing the tiny bump near the middle of her nose, a result of her breaking it after trying to copy some skateboard move Spencer was trying to do. She had a few freckles along her jaw line and her cheeks. Her brown eye shadow blended in nicely with her tanned skin.
"Oh God, they freaked out. I thought for sure he had been dropped on his head one too many times," Courtney laughed, opening her eyes to look at Ryan.
"Spencer Smith she is only sixteen years old! Her job is going to be taking care of four adults when she'll be the youngest one! I do not think so!" Ryan said, trying his best to imitate Mrs. Smith. They both laughed, looking into each others eyes.
"I was so surprised when they told me I could come out in January. I know it broke their hearts, but Spencer is a great convincer," she said. A sudden vibration scared them for a second before they both looked at their Sidekicks. Ryan shook his a little to indicate that it was his.
"Hello? - Yeah ok. - No she's right here. - Ok we'll be there in a few." He sighed slightly in frustration for their time being interrupted, slightly in just the fact that he knew he needed to go back to work.
"The interviewer is here. She's waiting in the dressing room for us. We gotta get back and Brendon said you had to go wake Spencer up," Ryan said as he grabbed his iPod, turning the music off before wrapping the headphone cord around the device.
"Ugh, ok. I should make his soup while you guys are doing the interview then," she replied as she sat up, grabbed her Sidekick and stood up. She stretched her arms above her head and Ryan took the opportunity to slap her stomach playfully.
"Hey! That was uncalled for," she said, bringing her arms down and readjusting her hoodie.
"Yeah and what are you going to do about it?" he asked as they began walking. A few seconds later he gave a yelp as Courtney jumped on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I'm going to make you carry me back."
The lady had thick black framed glasses perched upon the tip of her nose as she read questions from a paper that was resting in her lap, a tape recorder being held up in the air. She was from Chart Attack and was definitely on the older side of the people who usually interviewed them.
"So Spencer, your sister is your guys' tour manager. What's that like having her on the road? Do you guys fight a lot?" she asked looking at him then glancing over at Courtney who was sitting at a table, her white MacBook in front of her. She had heard the question but pretended not to.
"Yeah, she's our tour manager. I actually love having her out on the road with me. It gets lonely touring sometimes, and after a while you start getting homesick and being like I'd really love to pick on my little brother or sister right now. So the fact that I can do that whenever I want and just knowing that she's out here with me makes missing home a lot easier to handle," Spencer replied.
"So, there aren't any huge blow out fights between you guys or anything? How are the rest of you affected by it?"
"We're all fine with it. She's been there since day one, when we first decided to make this band, and she's always supported us. Sometimes it's weird knowing that someone younger than us is like our care taker, but she's wise beyond her years," Brendon said.
"We don't really fight all that much actually. I think I fight more with Ryan than I do her," Spencer laughed.
"Yeah, she's one of my best friends besides these guys, so having another best friend out touring with you makes things a little easier," Ryan replied.
"She's younger than you all?" the interview asked surprised.
"Yeah, she just turned 17, so she's about a year and a half younger than us," Spencer chuckled.
"Oh wow. I would've never guessed. So she just packed up and left then I assume?" the interviewer asked as she looked at Courtney. She was certainly surprised a girl of such integrity and poise was younger than the four gentlemen sitting in front of her.
"Yeah. Our previous tour manager quit due to family issues. His wife was going to have a kid, and he wanted to do the family thing, which we totally respect. We were desperately searching for a new tour manager when I thought of her, and the other guys and our label were fine with it. It took about a week of straight convincing from me, Ryan, and Brendon, and Courtney before my parents finally agreed to it. Three days later she started being out tour manager," Spencer stated.
"So she just dropped everything?" the interviewer asked.
"Yeah pretty much. She's finishing her senior year of high school through an independent study program, which is what Spencer did also when we started the band. We're all grateful beyond belief to have her with us," Ryan said. A single tear fell down her cheek as she listened to what was being said. The guys had always made it known how they loved having her out with them, but for some reason hearing them tell it to a complete stranger had really let her know how much they meant it. The topic in the interview changed as Spencer looked over his shoulder at his sister. She really had given up her life to help him succeed in his band, and no words of any kind could ever amount to the thanks he possessed. Courtney saw him looking at her through the corner of her eye and looked at him. She mouthed "You're welcome" to the smile he had on his face, his way of saying thank you.
"Is it working?" Courtney asked as she looked into the camera she was holding out before her.
"The red light is on, that usually means it's recording," Lacey pointed out in a "duh" tone.
"Hey, hush," Courtney replied before adjusting the LCD screen so she could see herself.
"Ok, hello all Panic! fans out there in the internet world. It's Court and I thought you would all like to see my revenge on Jon's little antic he pulled on me this morning, but first I'm going to introduce you to my new assistant. Now some of you may be like, 'Why does she have an assistant, she's only a tour manager. What could she possibly need an assistant for?' Well, now that tours are getting longer, shows are getting bigger, I need help running the merch booth and dealing with some of the paperwork and SoundScan. So without further introduction I bring you Lacey Collins!" The camera was turned and now focused on the brunette wearing a pale yellow girl Volcom Polo.
"Hi!" she said in a perky tone as she waved into the camera.
"So," Courtney said as she stepped next to Lacey and focused the camera on both of them, "Earlier today, Jon decided he was such a jokester and all that and deleted all the songs off my iPod, which is some ungodly amount of songs and videos, then he decided to be funny and hide some of my school books, and then he squirted my crotch with a squirt gun, which resulted in me walking around the little shopping center we went to, looking like I pissed me pants. In return to his scheme, I have not yet uploaded anything to my iPod, haven't finished my economics homework, and I'm feeling in the revengeful mood today. So, this brings me to Plan A. The venue we're at tonight is located right across the street from a Target and Lacey and I went over there earlier and bought some fucking badass Super Soakers. Yeah, we're talking about top of the line, 'if the military used water guns, they would have these kind' Super Soakers. No pussy shit for us. The guys are getting ready for their show tonight right now if I'm correct. So our Plan A is to just douse Jon with our kickass Super Soakers during the last song of their set, but Lacey, being the caring person she is, asked what would happen if his bass got wet. So that has made me think of a Plan B. What is Plan B you might ask? Well my friends, I'm sorry to say but I can't reveal that information yet," Courtney spoke into the camera as her and Lacey walked back into the venue and walked through the backstage halls.
"Ok, we need someone to hold the camera while we do this, who should we get Lace?" Courtney asked, turning the camera so it focused on Lacey.
"I have no idea. Hm...how about him? He looks like a good camera holder," she replied as she pointed to Corey, the guitar tech.
"Yes, Corey will do. Hey Corey, we have a business proposition for you," Courtney said as they walked up to him, turning the camera off.
A black screen appeared as voices were heard in the background. "You have the lens cap on moron," Courtney's voice was heard.
"Oh, just kidding. Calm down, it's all good," Brendon said as he took the lens cap off the camera. He adjusted the strap on his hand before following Courtney.
"So, Plan A was a success my friends, a very big success. Corey, instead of being the camera holder like we propositioned him to, turned into the bass stealer. Lacey and I then ambushed Jon from both sides of the stage, soaking him completely. Once we were all out of water, we gave him back his bass and left like nothing happened. Now, Brendon and I are going to take you to the dressing room where Jon is." Courtney said as she opened the dressing room door, only to be met with Jon holding her Super Soaker.
"Payback's a bitch," he said as he walked towards them, pumping the Uper Soaker as he went.
"Ok, scratch that, Brendon and I won't be taking you to the dressing room where Jon is because -BRENDON RUN HE'S COMMING!"
"HOLY FUCK! RUN COURT RUN FASTER!" The picture started shaking before the screen went black once more.

It's a middle school football team that nobody wants to play.
The seventh and eighth grade team at Smithson Craighead Charter School, a Metro charter school in Madison, has had two games so far this season and both opponents have canceled.
The Smithson Craighead Eagles are a very good middle school football program. The team, led by head coach Maurice Fitzgerald, has won two city championships in the last three years.
Still, Fitzgerald says he's perplexed by the forfeits, saying it not only cheats his kids, but cheats the players of the opposing teams.
Of the four games left on the Eagles schedule, Coach Fitzgerald says he only expects two to teams to actually show up and play
The coach, who is also the dean of students at Smithson Craighead, says he's heard all kinds of excuses, but none of them seem legitimate.
"It's very frustrating. I cannot motivate the kids. It's like a test and you prepare, and you are suppose to have that test on Friday and then the teacher comes in and says we won't be taking that test today," he explained, adding, "You see the deflation in the kids and their attitude drops and it is hard to motivate them to even practice. You see their heads drop and their hearts drop too. It's unfair because they worked so hard to participate and it's unfair to their families who have bought equipment, and in the end we all lose. Everyone loses. The other team loses too. What can you teach them?"
In addition to the 45 kids who play on the team, Coach Fitzgerald says it's also about sixth grade captain Carrington Seay.
The 11-year-old is plagued by medical issues and doesn't get to play, but flips the coin at the start of each game.
It means a great deal to him but he doesn't get to do that when there are forfeits.
Roosevelt Sanders is athletic director for all Metro schools.
He told Nashville's News 2 Investigates other middle school principals say the Eagles are that good they not only embarrass teams but there's a safety issue where some players get hurt and cannot field a team for the following week's game.
He adds there is nothing in the bylaws that prevents a team from forfeiting against another team.
Andy Cordan is following this story and will have more tonight on Nashville's News 2 at 6 p.m.

WASHINGTON May 15, 2012 - Imagine living back in the day when our Sun revolved around the Earth. Then, along comes a guy who says, "We have it wrong, the Earth twirls about the Sun."
It may take years for that idea to trend its way throughout the land and reach your hamlet but when it does, yipes.
If you were a farmer in 1530 with no education other than what was taught by your church, the idea of the Earth not being the center of everything could seem ridiculous, or very frightening. Maybe you would shrug it off, but it could be a seed of doubt that nags you the rest of your rural Renaissance life.
Being an educated man of wealth in 1550, you might read Copernicus' On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres. It could open your mind and stimulate thought unless you are devoutly religious and become scared and angry. If a young man, you might embark on a life of science (women didn't do much embarking then) or burn the book and join a monastery.
Then and now, our perceptions are important to us. They are shaped by our family, culture, background, education, environment, and experiences. We tend to identify with our perceptions, so emotions are triggered when the perceptions are threatened or dismissed.
Back to the Future
Feelings and emotions are not indicative of facts. Just because you feel strongly about something does not make it true or right or best. It may turn out to be the best, but not because you feel strongly about it; and some things never boil down to one answer.
When we argue with our children, spouse, coworkers, or the grocery store clerk, each person is defending their identity, or point of view. Most of us feel strongly about how we see things so no one wants to say uncle.
That is why, if you take the time to understand another person's perspective, and ask questions until you can verbalize his or her viewpoint, they will feel seen and heard. Being seen and heard is what we all want. If our perceptions are acknowledged with respect, there is nothing to defend leaving room for meaningful conversation.
What brings this to mind is hearing about all the security measures being taken in Chicago for the soon to be NATO summit. The effort is to prevent or avert violence which is known to erupt during a clash of emotionally-soaked perceptions.
The frustrating thing about violence is that underneath our individual and group indignations, all human beings need and want the same things.
So, What Are Emotions Good For?
Emotions are not the problem. Life without emotion and feeling would be flat, and tasty as drywall. Knowing what we like and dislike comes from how we feel about things, providing us with a basic sense of self.
Our emotions let us know what is important and help us prioritize the people and events in our life. When feelings are quiet they are a sixth sense that helps us read situations and people, and allow the rising of intuitions and hunches. We communicate and connect through emotion, and it is a language every human being shares.
The problem is giving emotion the reigns. Without being balanced by reason, good sense, and mustered wisdom, we tend to believe feelings are true. However, emotion and feeling are a flow of information, feedback, about our own inner landscape in relation to the outer one, not litmus tests for truth.
This Relates to My Everyday Life How?
Though this article was sparked by the news of the NATO summit preparations, it is really about all of us having better relations with our self and others.
Writers can look at blank screen and feel they have nothing to say. When they start working and keep plugging away, words that make sense mysteriously end up forming sentences and then paragraphs, despite the feeling.
So, do you feel inadequate, like a loser, or as if you are never good enough? That is a feeling not a fact. If you feel anger because someone insulted you that does not mean you were actually insulted. Feeling anxious about a new job does not cancel the fact of your skills and knowledge.
Below all the feeling, life is simple. We each want to be respected, cared about, heard and understood, have our basic needs met, and follow our interests and talents. Unfortunately, everyone has the same talent for complicating things.
Feeling ashamed about having depression or bipolar mania? It does not mean having the diagnosis is shameful, or your fault. Learn more at Healthline.com, and get the help you need.

The most fascinating NBA finals since 2004 (when the starless Detroit Pistons beat Shaq and Kobe) if not 1977 (when the clockwork Portland Trail Blazers stunned the high-wire 76ers of Dr. J and Darryl Dawkins and World B. Free) have imparted some lessons. We'll see if the Atlanta Hawks take note.
Lesson No. 1: Mesh matters more than manpower. This is the NBA, where talent is supposed to count above all. But talent didn't. If you were drafting from the two finalists' rosters, you'd have picked one Maverick in the top four. Of Dallas' four leading playoff scorers, the youngest is Dirk Nowitzki, who turns 33 next week. Yet the Mavs had a clear understanding of what they could and couldn't do, and the Heat had no idea. Miami's biggest shot in Game 6 — a 3-pointer (that missed) with Dallas up by 10 and 2:16 remaining — was taken not by LeBron James or Dwyane Wade but by Eddie House, who hadn't played in the first four games of the series. It seemed, sad to say, rather Hawk-like.
Lesson No. 2: Coaching matters, too. Not to pile on Erik Spoelstra, who was handed an uncoachable roster, but this was among the greatest tactical routs in the history of tactics. The team with the lesser players dictated matchups and tempo. The former Hawk Mike Bibby, who started the first five games of the series, wasn't even used in Game 6.
Lesson No. 3: Zone defense is the great equalizer. Dallas, then coached by Avery Johnson, blew the 2006 NBA finals because it couldn't stop Wade from driving. Dallas, as coached by Rick Carlisle, defused a hard-driving team that blew past Chicago — which played the NBA's best defense this season — in the Eastern finals by zoning it up and rendering Wade a bit less active and turning James into the basketball equivalent of Roberto ("No mas") Duran. NBA teams tend to use the zone as a change of pace, but Carlisle and his defensive coordinator made it a core stratagem.
Lesson No. 4: When in doubt, hire a defensive man. The aforementioned Dallas defensive coordinator is Dwane Casey, who was the frontrunner to become the Hawks' head coach last summer before ownership took a harder look at in-house assistant Larry Drew and his share-the-ball offensive schemes. Drew did OK: The Hawks lost nine more games than they had the season before but put up a better fight in Round 2. The Bulls, who eliminated the Hawks, went from 41-41 to 62-20 by hiring Tom Thibodeau, who'd been Doc Rivers' defensive whiz in Boston, as head coach.
Lesson No. 5: Continuity counts for something, but not as much as Hawks' general manager Rick Sund might hope. Only two Mavericks remain from the losing 2006 finalists, and one of those (Jason Terry) has gone from starter to sub. By way of contrast, the Hawks still have three players who were starting in 2006 — Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Marvin Williams — and Al Horford arrived in 2007. The Mavericks suffered through a spate of embarrassing playoff exits but kept tinkering, trading for Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion and Caron Butler (who was hurt and didn't play in the playoffs) and Tyson Chandler. Better to be wrong than static.
Lesson No. 6: In the biggest games, your biggest name has to be the best player on the floor. Nowitzki was. James was not. Too often Joe Johnson hasn't been — and he's under contract through 2016.
Lesson No. 7: It's never a good idea when your two best players play the same way. Not all great players need the ball all the time. Kobe Bryant doesn't. Nowitzki doesn't. LeBron and D-Wade do. If one has it, the other cannot. In all the hoopla over "The Decision," this essential point got lost. The Dallas defense divided the two and conquered the Legion of Superheroes.
Lesson No. 8: Wade was correct when he said "choke is an overused word," but it applies here. LeBron reached the stage he wanted with the team of his choosing — and was so ineffective he wouldn't have made the all-finals team if the NBA had such a thing. Afterward he snarled at his detractors, telling reporters: "They have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life they had before." But he has to live with the knowledge that he was outdone not just by Nowitzki but by Jason Terry, who seven years ago was jettisoned by the Hawks.

Great piece. The Heat played like almost exactly like the Hawks would except with better players. Lots of awesome looking fastbreak high-flying stuff but when it came to halfcourt, cycling through players trying their best isolation moves ain't gonna get it done. I know this has been said a lot but for goodness sakes LeBron, get a post-up game. LeBron either shoots a three or he dunks, stop one of those, then you end up stopping both and he stinks.

Team over the individual; drives to the basket over 28 foot fall away jumpers; clutch play over LB just walking around nonchalantly; Dallas "getting the secret" of winning champiuonships, and Bron still trying to figure it out. On top of all that; LB makes a really stupid assinine statement. Does he actually think the only people who were appalled by the way he handled the "decision" are living on the streets? Here is my retort: Bron, you get to wake up every day with the knowledge that your ego driven overhyped production got you the same result you've had every other season: no championships. Subtract one from your perceived eight rings.

Reminded me a lot of the Orlando series, Orlando had the best player, but the Hawks had #2 – #6 -players…yes, Miami had lebron and Wade, but Dallas had #3 – #10 players…Bosh stole money, he is a glorified Horace Grant, without the toughness…Heat will be back next year, but after that Wade's athleticism will crater and they will struggle to get out of the East…wish that the Hawks could find a way to get Howard…

LeBron should have paid better attention to Dirk in the off-season. If he had he could have changed his 'decision' and followed Dirk's example and stayed in Cleveland. And, not only in that Dirk stayed but improved his game from '06. No matter how many 'championships' he may or may not have one day, he will never have the satisfaction of taking 'his' team to the finals. Nothing he gets in Miami will ever compare to what he gave up by leaving and that is conquering his demons and the endless adoration of his fans not only in Cleveland but the ones he alienated by leaving. Instead of trying to be compared to Michael Jordon (that notion is caput), he is now trying to be like Dirk.

Recipe to title contention for THE HAWKS
Get a good SF, and a Center that is a scoring threat. Joe and Jamal got doubled aggressively hard because people could leave their players and we had goofy Collins and Zaza on the floor, and we have bad ball movement.
My solution
ANDRE IGUODALA seems available after the emergence of Turner in the playoffs and the trade talk for Monta Ellis. THEY NEED A SG. WE CAN'T AFFORD JAMAL CRAWFORD!!
Let's sign Jamal Crawford to trade him and other players to the 76ers for Iggy. I say….
Iguodala FOR Jamal, Josh Powell, and Etan Thomas
I have faith in this MAGNUM ROLLE guy we have signed. He'll be a good backup PF.
AS FOR THE CENTER, trade Josh Smith and maybe others for Emeka Okafor or Andew Bogut.
That =
Teague, Hinrich
Joe, Wilkins
Iguodala, Marvin
Horford, Magnum Rolle
Bogut (or nameless Center), Zaza, Collins
Might not be Bogut, might not be Okafor, but if we manage to get Iggy in here, trading Josh Smith for a scoring center would be the smartest choice. ONLY if we get a good SF on the team. (Danny Granger, Rudy Gay, Corey MAGETTE, Gerald Wallace, Andre Iguodala)
MIGHT WANNA TRADE JAMAL FOR COREY MAGETTE!! The Bucks need a good SG.

"They have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life they had before." What a dumb comment. So do you, LeBron; you're still not a champion.
Basically LaBron is saying he is rich and you are not. You will never get the hoes he does.

Mark…do you think the ASG learned anything from this playoff series that will help them mold a team for the future?
June 13th, 2011
1:38 pm
Interesting comments, Mark, but don't overlook the fact that Lesson 3 (defense) worked because of Lesson 5 (wholesale change of the roster) so let's not play the blame game with respect to Coach Avery Johnson and the Mavs of 2006 as before he arrived Dallas NEVER played defense under Don Nelson and he did not have a defensive-minded Center like Tyson Chandler.
June 13th, 2011
1:43 pm
Not Don Waddell . . . . Bosh is much better offensively than Horace Grant was and Grant was a better rebounder and defender than Bosh. I am a 40 year Hawks fan but why take shots as guys that simply do what they do. Riley should have known Bosh was not a tough guy( Horace Grant) before he offered him the money. The Heat have 2 exceptional perimeter players and 1 very good one and a young PG. They need Tyson Chandler or Joakim Noah. Very glad they can't get either one.
June 13th, 2011
1:46 pm
So let me get this right, LeBron and the Heat pull a 1977 Sixers Finals and suddenly they are the worst thing since the invention of Cheez Whiz? They are still just a point guard away from the next 3 or 4 years in the Finals. No back hand slaps at the Mavs, they won on the floor and were tough when they needed to be….
Rick Sund is crazy, he has 3 guys playing starter minutes who need to coming off the bench and powering this team… And none of them is named Marvin Williams.
June 13th, 2011
1:48 pm
And, by the way, the Heat Big 3 either choked or gave up down the stretch in Game 6. One could tell the former because they either missed or passed up shots and the latter because they would not hustle to foul a Mavs players when hustle was all that was required. You were spot-on with the Eddie House launching a 3 comment but you should have added that the 3 by Eddie came out of a Heat timeout??? Either Spoelstra drew that play up for Eddie (bad idea) or LeBron who was driving to the hoop decided to pass to him on his own (worse). Next sign, as I mentioned, was that Heat players could have but simply did not make an effort to foul Dallas when they still had time (remember the final difference was only 10 points) to do so, hope for a miss and then make a quick three (hello, Mario Chalmers?).
Very happy for Dirk and JT but most of all Jason Kidd.
Joe Johnson needs to man-up and accept the responsibility that comes with the money and Hawks still need a center (Sund could have obtained Tyson Chandler) but at least we've found a legit point guard.
June 13th, 2011
1:50 pm
Paddy, the ASG is done… I think everyone over there is awaiting the lockout so they can find a buyer (post hence)…. To do what Dallas did, you have to taste the luxury tax… That is not the ASG M.O.
June 13th, 2011
1:52 pm
Mike Bibby was awful throughout the playoffs…glad the Hawks unloaded that guy.The Heat need a PG in the worst way.I'd take a team full of good players over a team with a couple of great players anyday.The Mavs aren't a fluke either…ask the Lakers or the OKC
June 13th, 2011
1:55 pm
Lesson #9: Hawks ownership and management needs to stop selling the public on the idea that Round 2 of the playoffs is good enough. Mark Cuban didn't sell the Mavs' faithful on the idea that simply making the playoffs was good enough, even when Dallas was getting bounced in the first round. Let's be honest–in the NBA you make the playoffs simply by sucking less than three or four other teams. Round 2 simply puts you in the middle of the pack. Granted the Atlanta Spirit's attitude is slightly better than the former ownership (who sold the public on making the playoffs–period–was good enough), but it's the mediocrity attitude from the ownership that eventually got the Thrashers leaving for Winnipeg. The Hawks may be leaving in short order without a change.

Im not a miami fan but save the bashing until labron career has ended because the heat will be back in that position(Finals) time after time.At least we can carve that on stone before we can the hawks.If the hawks don't make a move to get this team in a better position to win,i will not even waist my time to watch or go to see them play.

Mark, all that being true, I would add Lesson No.9 – it doesn't hurt to spend money.
The Mavs payroll is exceeded only by the Lakers.
But, big payroll or not, words can't say how much I enjoyed watching Lebron and Co miss all of the free throws, and just generally choke!

Did anybody besides me think about Joe Johnson's shot at the fans after last years playoff debacle when hearing LBJ dissing those dissing him?

Hey that Tyson Chandler feller is pretty good. Nice how gives the Mavericks a Twin Towers look and you make it all about Miami failing.
They got 1 of the best centers in the league and how about giving DAL their due instead of "STAR POWER" vs team cohesion
they got a center we dont Miami doesnt

The problem with Miami is during the finals they became the BIG 2 and Lebron was not a member. He may have bought in to Pippen's assenine statement that he was MJ comparable. If he left Cleveland for the sun, beach, quality of life then I can't blame him. But if he left because, he felt he was a finished product that was flawless as the game had ever seen,and his team there was just that insufficient and not worthy of his talents, then he missed the mark altogether. Arrogance and pride can be there own pitfall.
June 13th, 2011

My favorite thing about the Hawks is the fact that they don't have crybabies on their team.
June 13th, 2011
2:27 pm
The way I see it, Lebron is immature, period. He doesn't seem like he needs to listen to anyone, much less the fans. Does this sound familiar? Baker(blogger) is correct in saying that these Heat are an talented and upgraded Hawks-like team who imploded when it really mattered. I like Lebron, but like other fans-was exposed to his weakness for all the world to see. Like Magic said in the post game show-Lebron should have accepted the blame himself-he needs to learn how to speak to the media, and like John Barry mentioned, Lebron needs to just shout his mouth and work on a low post game, midrange game-to improve his effectiveness in the paint. The Hawks should learn from these playoffs and finals-from the Mavericks. Also, Dwanye Wade needs to mature as well. Those coughing antics by him and Lebron were frowned upon by the basketball gods and thus that Karma came back to bite both of them in the azz. Lebron showed to be a follower, rather than a leader-thus, he played like a follower-not a leader. This decision to come to Miami didn't guarantee anything. What it did was create a three headed mess. The Hawks players should develop their game as fast as they can, because whenever the next NBA season starts-competition will be fierce. We'll wait and see-if my premonition is true.

Lesson No. 6: In the biggest games, your biggest name has to be the best player on the floor. Nowitzki was. James was not. Too often Joe Johnson hasn't been — and he's under contract through 2016.
And you said the Hawks, for PR reasons, had no other choice but to sign JJ to the max contract. lol I realize that was Sund's mistake not yours but knew it was a mistake.

Forget that Nowitzki talk….Jason Terry was the best player for the Mavs in this series.They would have gotten swept without Terry.
June 13th, 2011
2:45 pm
Lebron, you have no mid-range jumpshot at the elbow(14-21ft) shoot 500-1000 per day this summer and next year you will be unguardable..That shot is extremely difficult to defend!! It works trust me..you'll be able to shoot over whoever is guarding you at 6′8″…
Prediction: Hawks slip to 6th.
AllstarAL= Tyson Chandler….not.. Tyson is 5x better defender and help defender
June 13th, 2011
2:46 pm
Jordan, Pippen, Grant/Rodman AND Kukoc.
Worthy, Magic, Kareem AND Scott AND Cooper AND Rambis
McHale, Parish, Bird AND 6′5 Ainge AND 6′5 Dennis Johnson in the backcourt
The Big 3 is a myth imo. You need a center to win and a competent point guard to put everyone in scoring position. The Heat are playing there wide receivers as quarterbacks.
Until they get 1 more threat or deep teams like Dallas fall off I dont see them getting the trophy

Presentation: M.R., a 28-year-old female experiencing her first term pregnancy, presented to the Rush Fetal and Neonatal Medicine Center at 21 weeks of gestation in January 2008, following referral by her general obstetrician in St. Charles, Illinois, after a routine ultrasound had raised the suspicion of a fetal cardiac defect. A fetal echocardiogram performed by Xavier Pombar, DO, perinatologist, revealed a ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary stenosis and suspected overriding aorta, suggesting a diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot, which consists of four complex cardiac malformations appearing together.
Program staff met with M.R. to provide support and further discuss the fetal diagnosis; the team relayed the fetal echocardiogram findings to M.R.'s primary obstetrician, as well as the recommendation to perform a follow-up echocardiogram in four weeks.
The repeat fetal echocardiogram was performed at Rush at 25 weeks of gestation, re-demonstrating the previous findings. In addition, a narrowed right ventricular outflow tract was also noted, completing the clinical picture for tetralogy of Fallot.
Prenatal care: In consideration of her distance to Rush and the fetal findings, M.R. transferred prenatal care at 32 weeks of gestation, after consultation with her primary obstetrician. During a multidisciplinary conference, M.R. and her family met her care team, comprising a pediatric cardiologist, neonatologist, perinatologist, advanced practice nurses, a social worker and a chaplain. Working with M.R., the team developed an individualized plan for continued prenatal care, delivery, postnatal evaluation and intervention for the infant. Because surgery would be expected to correct the cardiac defect, pediatric cardiovascular specialists from the Rush Center for Congenital and Structural Heart Disease were present as well.
According to plans, biweekly antenatal testing began at 32 weeks and a repeat fetal echocardiogram was performed at 36 weeks.
Delivery: M.R.'s proposed plan for delivery included an anticipated vaginal delivery at term. During the course of her labor, however, Ramkrishna Mehendale, MD, attending obstetrician, determined failure of labor to progress and recommended a cesarean delivery. Jean Silvestri, MD, attending neonatologist, and Ra-id Abdulla, MD, pediatric cardiologist, assembled their teams for delivery.
Baby girl R. was delivered via c-section weighing 9 lbs. 8 oz. She was immediately assessed by the awaiting neonatology and pediatric cardiology teams and transferred to the special care nursery for further evaluation and management, with initiation of maternal-fetal attachment encouraged.
An echocardiogram performed at the infant's bedside immediately after delivery confirmed the antenatal diagnosis and revealed good cardiac function, with reassuring oxygen saturation levels. Following medical co-management by neonatology and pediatric cardiology, baby R. was discharged four days after her birth with pediatric cardiology follow-up scheduled for one week postdischarge. To maintain continuity of care, baby R.'s pediatrician and primary obstetrician were informed of the comprehensive follow-up plan.
Surgical treatment: At subsequent visits with pediatric cardiologists, baby R. was found to have the anticipated cyanotic spells that are a hallmark of her condition. The findings indicated a need for inpatient hospitalization and early surgical repair of the cardiac anomaly. Pediatric cardiac surgeons Michel Ilbawi, MD, and Anastasios Polimenakos, MD, performed complete surgical repair of the tetralogy of Fallot at six weeks of age, including patch closure of the ventricular and atrial septal defects, bovine pericardial transannular patch augmentation of the small right ventricular outflow tract and mono-cusp valve placement. The immediate postoperative course was complicated by junctional ectopic tachycardia (an abnormal cardiac rhythm) that was well controlled by temporary pacing and medications. Within two weeks postsurgery, baby R. was discharged home from the pediatric intensive care unit in stable condition.
Conclusion: Early assessment and confirmation of the fetal cardiac anomaly was integral in devising a plan of care for a medically complex case. The surgical outcome was optimal; on the initial postoperative visit, baby R. was noted to be in satisfactory, stable condition and was scheduled for further follow-up three months later.

The Arnolds Park Okoboji Search and Rescue Team takes us through plans and supplies everyone should have with them before heading out on the water this summer.
Over a million drownings happen around the world every year. While some of those happen in sudden flash flooding situations, experts will tell you many others are preventable. But to prevent a crisis like that experts we spoke to with the Arnolds Park Okoboji Search and Rescue Team say you need to have a plan and know how to execute it.
Thousands of people flock to Lake Okoboji every year to get out and enjoy the water. But the Arnolds Park Lake Okoboji Underwater Search and Rescue Team will tell you not a summer goes by without some sort of mishap on the water. They say things can go wrong when you're out on the water when you least expect it and things can go wrong in a big hurry.
The team says they see accidents every single year. They say they are sent on at least two calls for missing people every summer. Some of them do have a happy ending, but others do not. Back in June of 2010 a man jumped from his boat into the lake to get something that had blown off his boat and he never came back up.
Hoping to prevent further tragedies the team took us out on the boat to go through some life saving steps. We started by talking about what to do if someone goes overboard and does not come back to the surface. Experts say if they aren't hurt, toss them something and pull them back in. That's why you should have something like a safety rope on your boat.
If they are hurt call for help on your cell phone or radio but don't try to drag them back into the boat. The team says you can do a lot more harm by trying to drag them back in. Instead they say give them something to float on, like a life jacket, until help arrives.
If the nightmare situation happens, and someone goes in and does not come to the surface here's what to keep in mind. Experts say time is your enemy if you go under the water and you have a problem. The team says the average person can't hold their breathe for more than a minute, and once they take a gulp of water in, they will start to sink, making recovery even more difficult. Step one is probably the most difficult. Don't panic.
Right away call for help. So make sure you never go out on the water, without a way to get a hold of someone and keep in mind some lakes don't have very good cell reception. That's why you should always have a cell phone and a radio. You also need to have an idea of where you are so you can tell rescuers. Be specific and try to find landmarks on either side of the shore. Giving a generic description of where you are will only delay the rescuers from getting to you. Next, especially if you are on a boat with people who have been drinking, do not let people just start to jump in the water. The team says they've seen many times where people have gone in the water after a person and then the rescuers end up with three victims instead of one.
We want to make it very clear that these dive experts do not recommend just anyone diving into the water after someone. But if you have had some water training, and you think you can get in the water safely here's what to keep in mind. If you saw them go in the water, chances are they are right there, slightly below the surface. So that's where you should start looking. The team says it's a misconception that a lake current will be able to move someone around right away under the water.
Make sure people in the boat are watching where you are entering the water. If you can't see in the water use your arms and legs to search, and if you find your loved one, don't waste time, and get them to the surface. These crews hope you never need to go through anything like this but they do want you to plan for it. Having rescue supplies ready and a plan in place, could very well save your life or the life of a loved one. They also say they've never had to search for someone underwater, who was wearing a life jacket. So when you head out on the water this summer, have one on. It can absolutely save your life.

Police interview and application form examplesMarch 20th, 2009
I have had a few issues this week with the types of example that people are using for both police interviews and indeed the police assessment interview. Two questions that always crop up in one format or another are challenging innappropiate behaviour (on the form) and working as part of a team (on the interview). Candidates pick some really weak examples for these. In terms of challenging behaviour, we are constantly getting forms where someone has been at a bus stop, some yob has made a racist/sexist/homophobiccomment, and the candidate has told them off, so the offender walks away. This is a very weak example. What you need to do is find some example where there has been a chain of behaviour, you have challenged it immediately it comes to your attention, you have a long explanation to the offender about why what they are doing is wrong, they eventually see this, and apologise to all concerned. (Make sure you challenge it as soon as you know about it though. Otherwise, if you let it go for a bit, it can be argued you are allowing it to get worse!) If this takes place somewhere like work, all the better, as it is morally harder to challenge your mates, than someone you do not know. Against this background, you may be able to see where the bus stop example falls down.
Second bugbear this week was on the interview question on teamwork. People always want to tell us about when they were in the street/at work etc and someone else got hurt. They then try to say that a group of passersby/staff/friends worked a s a team on the casualty. This is just too superficial, and in reality probably you handed over to the ambulance crew as soon as they got there. We want to see evidence that you ideally volunteered fo a big event, maybe like a charity fair, or a stock take at work. You realised that the task was too big for you alone, so you got a team involved, who had different skills to you that were also needed. You planned how the task was going to be done, allocating resources by experience and priority. You completed the task on time/budget, and got a thank you letter. Hurrah! Again, against this context, the drunk in the swimming pool will not score highly.
You need to apply this logic to every exercise. Being average when thousands of people are applying for every place just does not do it!

I was getting a tube home one night, when a man got on and complimented me on my "fabulous" trousers.
We got chatting about his fashion company, and he offered to send me a sample. This may be an everyday occurrence for Alexa Cheung but not for me. And then he asked what I did.
"I work in children's publishing," I replied with just a hint of pride.
"Oh," he said, looking me up and down. "But…..you're cool."
If I had just said publishing, the outcome might have been different. But clearly children's publishing ranks below librarian in the fashion stakes. Whatever - his clothes were rubbish anyway.

Bruce Campbell & Co. Introduce A New Wondercon 'Evil Dead' Trailer
There are a million reasons why Evil Dead shouldn't have been remade. It still holds up well. It's the originality and shoe-string budget that made it so compelling in the first place. It won't work without Raimi's sensibilities. Yet, all early reports are that the film lives up to fan's expectations and works as a damn scary film in it's own right. Here's a clip of the film promoting Wondercon, with an introduction from Bruce Campbell, director Fede Alvarez, and producer Rob Tapert.
Evil Dead will be released on April 13, 2013.

If you like this image, please help me by clicking the like button at the top right and consider adding it to your favorites, Thank You! The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial - Bits & Pieces is a small look into the Memorial that is divided into four rooms in honor of FDRs four terms as President. President Roosevelt guided the United States of America through some of it's most difficult times in history: the great depression and World War II.
Over the years Mike has dabbled in painting, sculpting, & wood working as well as photography. Feeling himself a jack of all trades, master of none, Mike returned to school in 1988 to receive a degree in commercial photography. He then honed his photography skills in the large commercial studios in High Point, North Carolina. During this time period he was forced, with one arm tied behind his back, to learn how to use a COMPUTER. This was Mike's turning point in his artistic abilities, being able to combine his love for art with his photographs. "Welcome to the world as I see it. To smile, be happy and laugh as much as possible, that's what life should be about. I hope this shows through my work and makes you feel the same way."...

A Colorado mother says a school's suspension of her daughter's classmate for unwanted kisses was the correct response for repeated harassment.
CANON CITY, Colo. — The mother of a girl involved in the case of a 6-year-old Colorado boy suspended for giving a classmate unwanted kisses says the school did the right thing.
The girl's mother, Jade Masters-Ownbey, told the Canon City Daily Record on Wednesday that the school district did a "great job" protecting her daughter from repeated harassment from the boy.
First-grader Hunter Yelton was given a two-day suspension, with a sexual harassment infraction on his discipline record.
The boy's mother, Jennifer Saunders, insists the punishment was too harsh.
"He is 6 years old, and that is absolutely ridiculous for him to have 'sexual harassment' on his record, even it is (only on the district's) record," she said.
But Masters-Ownbey says the kissing was "not once, but over and over." She said she hoped people would not "start bashing the school that is doing a great job protecting my child from what is sexual harassment."
School officials insist the boy was repeatedly warned and that the punishment was warranted.
Lincoln Elementary School Principal Tammy DeWolfe said the school would "never suspend a student for one minor little violation."
No criminal charges have been brought against the boy.
Masters-Ownbey stated her daughter's older brother has felt like he needed to protect her at school.
"In elementary school, when a boy kisses a girl, the usual response of their peers is 'ewwww,'" she stated. "So why do the other kids rush to tell? Because they've seen it over and over, they've seen him repeatedly get in trouble for it, they've seen the girl repeatedly tell him to stop, they know it's wrong."

text: Fargo, ND (fmredhawks)--The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks opened the 2014 exhibition schedule with a 6-1 loss to the St. Paul Saints on Sunday night at Newman Outdoor Field in Fargo. The story of the game was the Saints pitching, which struck out the RedHawks 14 times and held Fargo-Moorhead to four hits. Nick Colwell drove in the only run of the game for the RedHawks with an RBI single in the eighth inning. St. Paul was led at the plate by Joe Bonfe and Angelo Songco. Bonfe was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Songco was also 3-for-4 with two runs scored. Saints reliever Anthony Claggett was credited with the victory, while RedHawks starter Taylor Stanton was tagged with the loss. Stanton allowed one run on four hits in 3.0 innings pitched. The RedHawks and Saints will play the second game of their exhibition series tonight at 6:00 p.m. at Newman Outdoor Field.

Again, without more details about your sensors, I can only give generic pointers.
Speed and RPM will be in the form of a pulse train. But the amplitude of the pulses will be near 12 volts, so you will still need to limit these signals to 5 volts, even though you are only interested in the frequency and not the amplitude.
Damage to your Arduino could result if you do not do this.
If you have a sensor giving 'spurious' values (without any actual input), it is most often caused by leaving an input 'floating'.
A high impedance input (such as the Arduinos) can, and will, respond to stray signals, such as the AC power field and radio frequencies... or even the capacitance of your hand.
It is general practice to connect the input to ground through a rather high value resistor... much higher than the output impedance of the sensor, but well below the impedance of the input. This will help prevent these 'spurious' readings.
For example, suppose that your fuel level sensor is connected to the Arduino analog 0.
A typical fuel level sensor has an output impedance of much less than 500 ohms.
While the input impedance of the Ardunio analog input is specified to be around 100 million ohms.
So you might connect a resistor, from analog 0 of your Arduino to ground, of 68000 ohms resistance.
Then, in the case no sensor is present, this will ensure that the analog input is 'pulled down' to 0 volts, yet will not contribute any detectable error when the sensor is actually connected.
If you are 'bench testing', use a potentiometer, of the same impedance as your sensor, to simulate the 'real world' signal. In the case of the fuel level sensor, a 500 ohm or even 1000 ohm pot would probably work OK.
In the case where 'real' values are shown as whole numbers, this usually happens when an integer variable is used, where a float value should be used instead.
One more bit of friendly advice.
In your original post you stated that you wanted to test the program itself first, and then work with the sensors.
Might I suggest that you try it the other way around?
Write test programs for your sensors, one at a time until you are certain of your understanding of the sensor and code.
After you have confidence in the individual items, then integrate them into a whole program.
In this way you make your problem space smaller. 'Divide and Conquer!'.

The perpetrator becomes, by magic, the Man Who Wasn't There, and we pretend that sexual harassment/violence is some natural phenomenon, like pollen or bad weather, that women just happen to walk into. We pretend that it doesn't stem from human actions or choices, except the actions or choices of the victim.
Imagine that a man heaves a bucket of cold water all over a woman. Soaked, shocked, the woman appeals to passers-by for help, pointing to the man, who stands there laughing and enjoying her consternation. "Who the hell does he think he is?" asks the woman, but the passers-by completely ignore the man with the bucket. Instead they ask the woman why she wasn't carrying an umbrella, since she ought to have known it might rain.

FreshFantasy: "A Night To Remember"' [Part 8]
Aaron: Mom.. What kind of question is that and I rather not answer that question
Aaron walked away and went back upstairs and saw you on the bed combing your hair and he lay down beside you and puts his head in your lap,smile and looked at you.
Aaron : You are beautiful babe and This is our last night together.
You put the comb down and curled up in the sheets with Aaron and started to talk about the past and went down memory lane.
Remember when I first saw you? You were crying on the little bench in Miami when I had a concert [Season 1 Part 1] Aaron said.
Remember when you sneaked me into your hotel room that night [Season 1 Part]
Remember when back at the Hotel in the Elevator…that moment when I knew I just had to see you again.
You: *Smiles* I remember it all even when he went skinny dipping at the beach.
Aaron: Yeah I think we had a Ice-cream fight right before that too.
Mom : Aaron??
Aaron: Ya Mom?!
Mom: Come down here for a second?
Aaron: Mooom *Whiny voice* You come to me please.
Mom: The Label wants you to come to a open party because New artists got signed and they might you to discuss a collaboration.
Aaron: Oh Okay then [Your name] You should get ready and come along….
Mom: Actually She can't come they just said it should be me and you no guest are allowed just members of them Ncredible Team ,Artist….
Aaron: Wait —Wh—what but its her last night here and I want to spend it with [Your Name]
*Phone rings*
Mom: I'm gonna go answer that real quick and be ready by time I get back upstairs
You: Baby its okay….just go and have fun and be back early so we can spend time together.
Aaron *Shouts* What time are we leaving out? and when will it be over?
Mom: Its starting at 5 pm and finishes at 11 pm
Aaron: Wait *Looks on time now* Its 4:30 pm now…
You: *sad face*
You sit up in the bed and pulled Aaron's shirt and gave him a puppy dog face and told him not to go and he leans to you and kisses you and told you he doesn't want to leave either and you decide not to be a spoil sport so you got up and helped Aaron pick out something to wear.Aaron went into the shower and your mom called giving you your flight number and that made you a little sad knowing you are going home to go back home Tomorrow morning and after you leave Aaron will have his world tour to go on and his career to focus on.
Aaron got ready and headed out to meet his mom in the car.He hugged and kissed you." I'll be back soon,I love you" and he kissed your forehead and hugged you tight.Within the first two hours of the party all Aaron could of was you.Every second he was looking at the clock in the room and the time on his watch rushing every conversation he engaged in and he wanted to think of something so bad to get out of this place fast and home to you.Aaron faked a tummy ache and his mom told him that he could take the car and drive home safely.She knew he was lying but she said "young love" what the heck its her last night so just let him be happen and as he walked out the door the label mates were asking why is he leaving and she covered for Aaron as he walked out the door and drove home.
When Aaron reached the front door and creeping up the stairs into the guest room you were already cuddling up in bed not sleeping but your eyes were closed.Aaron comes over you and you kept your eyes tightly shut just to see what he was gonna do or say.
His lips barely brushed the shell of your ear and he whispers "I love you beautiful" in French.Your body betrayed you and shivered and you say to Aaron "You just know what to do to me huh" Aaron gave you small kisses on your neck repeatedly and told you he couldn't wait to get home just to see you and kisses you go down.He could feel your breast on his chest as you pushed into him ,leaning him back on the cool sheets and you sitting on top of him.He gripped your hips tightly.Aaron's back arched as your delicate fingers traced down onto his fluttering stomach.
Aaron: The whole time I was thinking of you.
You: Yeah??
You leaned down towards him and plastered your tongue all over his face with such a deviant look in your eyes ,teasing him and blowing into his ears.Aaron bites his lips and threw you off him and went on top of you and his tongue delved between your wet lips and you wrap your legs tightly around him and his fingers clawing through your hair. Kissing Aaron is like tasting yourself you thought.He pressed his fingers into your tight……..and fingered you nice and slow while kissing you all over your lips.You take Aaron's fingers and suck them off and stare right into his eyes while he's listening to sound of your voice moaning.Aaron then puts his…….into your …… and start thrusting back and forth into your and he's breathing hard into your ears.Aaron pulled your hair back and held in his hands while F**king you hard and kissed you on your cheek.You had the biggest #Freshgasmn ever!! You lay down on the bed all exhausted and Aaron left you in the guest room and went to his room to get cleaned up and you got up and stood by the window wrapped up in sheets and saw Aaron's Mom approaching the front door and you hopped in the shower while Aaron was getting out……Aaron dried off and got dressed and went downstairs.
Aaron: You're home already?
You: Yeah well without you there….I'm not really necessary
Aaron: I'm sorry Mom I just wanted to spend some time with [Your Name]
Mom: Aaron…this isn't good for you? What do you want? Your Career or some girl?
Aaron: She isn't just a girl ,I really love her.
Mom: You are young Aaron….When you hit off your career you will find plenty more of her.
Aaron: You're wrong …I won't…I won't anymore or anyone like her…Why are you doing this?
*You creep to the top of the stairs and hear the conversation between Aaron and his mom*
Mom: I'm just glad she is leaving tomorrow so you can focus on good things.
Aaron: She is a good thing!!
Mom: Well better things.
Aaron: Nothing is better than love Mother! Nothing at all.With this fame and industry you will always need someone you can talk to and she is like my best friend.I can talk to her about things I can't talk to you about!
Aaron: You have a problem with her don't you.
Mom: I don't have a problem with its just that she…..is brainwashing you.
Aaron: This fame is brainwashing you mom….and its more than that …Is it because where she is from?
You walk down the stairs slowing with tears in your eyes.
You: I'm —I—-I am sorry I didn't know It was bother …just me being here. I'm sorry Aaron. *Storms out of the house*
Aaron: Look what you have done….
Aaron chases after you and hugs you while you cried on his shoulders
You: I just wanted her to like me
Aaron: Well my mom is being a bitch. and it doesn't matter I love you and will do anything for you.So stop crying and lets just go back to the room and watch some tv and cuddle and maybe make out a little.
You: *Laughs* *Wipes Eyes* Okkkays (Baby voice)
You and Aaron went back inside and he went up the stairs
You: I'll be up in a second …I'm going to get some water.
*Opens Fridge* *Grabs Water*
*Aaron's mom walks in*
*Awkward Silence*
Mom: *Opens Mouth*As if she was about to say something to you and then she closes her mouth.You headed back to the stairs and then she stops you and says.
Mom: Listen [Your name] Have a seat in the couch….
Mom: Stop looking so scared….I'm not going to hurt you?
You: Are you going to let me stop seeing your son?
Mom: *Sigh* No…I'm sorry for all the things I said it was just…I don't know what got over me ..I was just too caught up and didn't realize what you and my son have for each other and I'm glad you love and care for him …I really do and the fact that you love him for him. It really means alot to me.Sometimes I just get a little over protective of him..
You: A little?
Mom: Okay alot.
Mom: But I just hope you understand I love you ,I just don't want him distracted.
You: Yeah I understand.
Mom: Now give me a hug Miss Hinton
You: Thanks and goodnight.
The next morning Aaron and his mom carried you to the airport and Aaron walked you inside right up until your gate.
Aaron: I'm going to miss you the moment you look away from me
You: *cries* *Sigh* I love you
Aaron: I love you too.
Aaron kisses and hugs you and watched you walked away with tears in his eyes.
The End
FreshFantasy xoxo. A big thank you to our readers :) You guys have been amazing.

States citizens for immigration law Enforcement (uscfile.org)
is an immigration law enforcement group based in Danbury,
Ct. Our organization was formed out of necessity to
address the influx of Illegal Aliens flooding Danbury
and neighboring towns in search of work.
is with most towns across the United States, Danbury
is being virtually taken over by the influx of Illegal
Aliens crossing our borders without regard to U.S. Immigration,
crime, or employment laws. In short, these Illegals
seek a "short cut" to a better life for their
families and themselves, yet are not interested in following
the laws that allow all immigrants the privelige of
working here and becoming a legal citizen. Uscfile IS
NOT A HATE GROUP, and hold no bias against ANY race
or ethnic culture seeking to become a U.S. citizen LEGALLY.
We are not against
legal immigration. The borders must be closed
to illegal immigration in order to maintain regulated,
orderly immigration. The invasion has to stop. This
is also necessary to secure the United States from terrorism.
While most of the people jumping the border are not
terrorists, terrorists are entering with them.
Employers that
hire illegal aliens must be prosecuted to end
the accessibility to jobs that draws the illegals in
the first place.
Illegal aliens
must be denied bank accounts, apartments, drivers
licenses and access to welfare programs.
We want those
here illegally to go home or be sent home.
If they are denied jobs they will have to leave.
We want repeal
or clarification of the 14th Amendment to end
the misuse of "birthright citizenship" and
anchor babies".
We want English
to be made the official language of the United States.
