Dern Talks Billy Bob Breakup
January 6, 2006, 2:26 AM ET
Sept. 15, 2000 -- Since the whirlwind marriage of Hollywood hillbilly Billy Bob Thornton to wild child Angelina Jolie, we've been waiting to hear from the woman Thornton scorned, his fiancée of many years, Laura Dern.
Now the Oscar-nominated actress, who just barely escaped being Billy Bob's fifth wife, is talking about her cruel split from the Sling Blade dude.
How cruel was it? In the new Talk magazine, Dern says, "I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend got married, and I've never heard from him again." Ouch.
Adds the spurned Dern, "It's like a sudden death. For no one has there been any closure or clarity." Um, Laura, we don't think Billy Bob's looking for any closure, except to maybe get back some items from the old homestead, like those string-ties he's so fond of.
If it's any consolation to the Wild at Heart actress, public sentiment doesn't hold out much hope for the longevity of the Thornton-Jolie union.
Dern and Thornton still have Daddy and Them, which they collaborated on in happier days, in movie limbo.

What's Up, Matador?
Matador turns 21, parties like it's 1996
Michael LavineI think I spent my 21st birthday at the venerable Phil's Grandson's bar in Waterloo, Ontario, and while I feel obliged to point out to American readers that our age of majority (as far as drinking goes) is 19 so the 21st isn't actually all that meaningful, I still spent it getting well and truly smashed. I won't lie, It wasn't classy.
Matador Records is looking to spend their coming of age in slightly glitzier environs. They offered some teasers earlier this year but yesterday made things official with an announcement that pretty much met any and all lofty expectations about what kind of party they might throw. Led by a reunited Guided By Voices – the most classic 1993 to 1996 Bee Thousand/Alien Lanes/Under The Bushes Under The Stars lineup no less – the three-day bender will take place in the Palms hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from October 1 to 3 and feature a who's who of Matador artists, past and present. In addition to GBV (GBV!), you've got label stalwarts Pavement (who if they hadn't already reunited might have had to for this party), Belle & Sebastian, Cat Power, The New Pornographers, Yo La Tengo and Liz Phair (whose contract probably has a strict "first three albums only" clause) as well as acts like Sonic Youth, Spoon and Superchunk who might be better associated with other labels but who have OLE catalog numbers in their discographies. In short, for anyone who came of musical age with the golden age of college rock in the 1990s, it's a dream lineup and then some. AND there's gambling.
Full details about pricing and additional acts are coming next week, but if you aren't at least taking a look at how much flights and hotels in Vegas for that weekend will run you, you must have stumbled across this site by accident. That said, my attendance is far from certain but damn if I'm not thinking hard about it.
MP3: Guided By Voices – "I'll Replace You With Machines"
MP3: Pavement – "Gold Soundz"
MP3: Belle & Sebastian – "Another Sunny Day"
MP3: Sonic Youth – "Sacred Trickster"
MP3: Spoon – "Mountain To Sound"

MP3: Sharon Van Etten – "I Couldn't Save You"
Trailer: The Builder
Offering more proof to the theory that they're incapable of doing anything that's not adorable, Mates Of State have released a new video from their covers album Crushes. Actually it's the second video from the record, the first was for this Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds tune, which isn't so much adorable but isn't trying to be. Anyways.
Video: Mates Of State – "True Love Will Find You In The End"
Video: Mates Of State – "Love Letter"
Each Note Secure talks to Free Energy, who've recorded an Interface session at Spinner.

MP3: Best Coast – "Boyfriend"
Miami New Times talk to Tampa's Sleepy Vikings.
NOW welcomes We Were Promised Jetpacks to the Horseshoe on Saturday night. Daytrotter has also posted up a session.
So this past Saturday night's Thao/Mirah show at the Horseshoe was cancelled on account of burning police cars. The guys from These United States, who were slated to support, have some video of their trip to Toronto. Y'all come back now, y'hear?

GBV's Classic lineup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope it goes really really well and they decide to tour. Man that would be amazing.
The Hold Steady show is on the 16th, not the 17th.
Srayze says:
Take this for what it's worth, but I've heard via second (third? fourth?) hand sources that the "Classic" GBV will indeed embark on a short tour in October, with the dates released in a week or so. Apparently no Toronto date, so make sure your passport is in order….
Frank Yang says:
some touring only makes sense if they're going to the trouble of getting back into game shape. Annoyed that they're skipping T.O. on the reunion tour like they did on the farewell tour… though I think Bob is still annoyed about some shit that went down at the Opera House years ago?
Yeah, getting stiffed on the GBV farewell tour sucked. Let's hope it was logistics and not a Pollard grudge, if we want to get them this time around. Could it be that 5.0% is too strong for him? Maybe if we promised weaker beer…
gbvh says:
I believe Bob said he didn't want to deal with trying to play here anymore after spending a long, long time dealing with border BS ahead of GBV's last Toronto show (Earthquake Glue time).
dude, frank, just go.
No mention of Guitar Wolf? For shame!
Phil's! Nothing at Phil's is ever classy, don't worry.

Easingwold District Community Care Association (EDCCA), has launched a new Community Initiative in Easingwold for local residents and the surrounding areas. It is called Men in Sheds and will be joining nearly 500 established groups located across the UK who are part of the rapidly expanding Men in Sheds concept. In 2013 there were only 5, so the question is what is this all about and why is it so popular?
After retirement or when personal circumstances change it is common to feel a little at a loss and to miss workmates, friendships, relationships and banter. Men is Sheds is all about providing a community space for groups of predominately older men, who would like to re-build social connections. Its aim is to give you the opportunity to enjoy the company of others, talking, sharing, creating and doing something practical. The whole idea is to have a reason to bring people together.
Men in Sheds activities are decided by the group. Some groups are involved in D.I.Y, making, mending and repairing all sorts of items, big and small. Other groups enjoy gardening and managing an allotment where they can grow fruit and vegetables. In Easingwold you can do both.
We have acquired an allotment at Stillington Road and are in the process of building a large shed on the site.
Whatever the activity, Men in Sheds is not just about the allotment and the building. It is about the relationships and companionship that develops between the group.
Some men will have skills they can share and some will learn new skills through being involved. Fundamentally it is about enjoying your day with likeminded people and sharing experiences.
EDCCA are lucky enough to be the chosen charity in the Nationwide branch in Easingwold from January until April. We have a picture quiz with celebrities and places for £1 and the prize is a voucher from a coffee shop in Easingwold. We also have an original Art raffle for which tickets are on sale for £1. This gives you 5 chances to own an original piece of art! The winners will be drawn at the beginning of May.
The last cake sale will be on the 26th April. Please feel free to make a cake or pop in an buy one. The remaining little knitted chicks with a crème egg inside are on sale for £1. The have been very popular and will soon be sold out. We are very grateful to Nationwide for their support.
Someone has offered to donate their winter fuel payment to EDCCA as they do not need it. If you are in a similar position please consider donating it to us and we will use the money to support people in our community that do need help. Furthermore, we are now registered for Gift Aid and this can make any donation worth far more.
Tuesday 14th May – Fabulous Whitby!
The event on the 14th November was a great success and it was lovely to see so many people come to support us. Thanks to everyone who organised, helped and attended.
We have launched a new brighter logo and we hope you like it.


Increasing number of pathogenic bacteria are acquiring antibiotic resistance and new forms of resistance are continuously emerging, which enable clinicians to perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) on priority. A rapid multiplexed AST platform provides minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) within hours at reasonable cost, which enables rapid determination of effective targeted therapy, resulting in short hospital stays, few laboratory tests, and decreasing morbidity and mortality along with associated healthcare expenses.
The global antimicrobial susceptibility testing market size was valued at US$ 2.65 billion in 2017 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).
Resistance among various microbial species to different antimicrobial drugs have emerged as a major cause of public health threat. According to World Health Organization (WHO), these resistant microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites are able to combat attack by antimicrobial drugs, which leads to ineffective treatment resulting in persistence and spreading of infections.
Increasing number of multidrug resistance cases in tuberculosis (TB), malaria, HIV, influenza, and others among the global population is expected to result in increasing adoption of antimicrobial susceptibility testing to reduce the resistance exposure during the forecast period. For instance, according to the WHO, in 2016, an estimated 490,000 people worldwide developed MDR-TB. The countries with the largest numbers of MDR/RR-TB cases were China, India and the Russian Federation.
Moreover, development of genotypic-based methods offering rapid and accurate detection or confirmation of antimicrobial resistance is expected to drive the market growth. For instance, the Accelerate ID/AST System or ID/AST System (Accelerate) aims to reduce the turnaround time by using genetic methods. The device can identify infectious pathogens in a matter of hours instead of days, reducing diagnostic time by 30 to 50 hours.
Stringent government regulations is the major restraining factor for the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market growth. Regulatory procedures creates barrier to AST development, as clinical validation and trials are lengthy and often too costly for small-sized or medium-sized enterprises or organizations.
For instance, in the U.S., a manufacturer who intends to market a device of generic type must conform to the general controls of Section 513(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, address the risks to health associated with the AST system, and obtain a substantial equivalence assessment from the FDA.
On the basis of region, the global antimicrobial susceptibility testing market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America is expected to be the most lucrative region in the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market in 2017 due to the emergence of a multidrug resistant strain of Salmonella in the U.S. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), September 2018, around two million people are infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the U.S. annually and around 23,000 people die as a result. Moreover, government agencies in the U.S. have taken steps to prevent and control antibiotic resistance, which is expected to increase the adoption of antimicrobial susceptibility testing in the country.
Asia Pacific antimicrobial susceptibility testing market revenue is expected to foresee significant growth over the forecast period due to high prevalence of microbial infections and increasing consumption of antibiotics, eventually developing resistance among the population. According to a WHO report, in 2014, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis rates were high in India and treatment for the disease is generally limited.
Key players operating in the global antimicrobial susceptibility testing market include bioMérieux S.A., HiMedia Laboratories, Alifax Holding S.p.A., Creative Diagnostics, Resistell AG, Danaher Corporation, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Merck KGaA, and Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) confirms susceptibility, detects resistance, and guides the selection of patient therapy. The tests can guide the physician in drug choice and dosage for difficult-to-treat infections. Antibiotic resistance is a major global health concern which requires action across the globe. It is increased due to antibiotic misuse and has become a major global health concern. Current methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) used to probe for resistant or nonresistant (susceptible) phenotypes of pathogens, typically requires between two days to one week from the time of sample collection.
Emergence of multidrug resistance, globally is impeding the ability to treat common infectious diseases, thereby resulting in prolonged illness, disability, and death. This is expected to increase the adoption of antimicrobial susceptibility testing during the forecast period. Moreover, the healthcare cost for patients with resistant infections is higher as compared to patients with non-resistant infections, owing to longer duration of illness, additional tests, and use of more expensive drugs. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2016, around 490,000 people developed multi-drug resistant TB globally. Also, drug resistance is a major restraining factor for manufacturers that are focusing on developing drugs for HIV and malaria.
However, requirement of regulatory clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and respective government authorities before marketing a diagnostic device is a major restraining for the antimicrobial susceptibility testing market growth. Moreover, in some countries such as China, FDA registration may be a requirement in addition to the local registration needs.
Key players covered as a part of this study include bioMérieux S.A., HiMedia Laboratories, Alifax Holding S.p.A., Creative Diagnostics, Resistell AG, Danaher Corporation, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Merck KGaA, and Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.

The CAWB Tent Ambassadors were joined for a celebration picnic by Special Guests David Shoebridge MP, Dr Mehreen Faruqi MP, Opposition Leader John Robertson, Assistant Secretary for the CFMEU Rebel Hanlon and Local Councillors Leigh Williams, Mary Lyons-Buckett and Barry Calvert.
The afternoon festivities were topped off by a Celebration Cake donated by Rebel Hanlon and the CFMEU.
In what is believed to be a community action first for NSW, concerned local residents have carried out an around the clock vigil, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the past year to protect Historic Thompson Square from the NSW Government's proposed Windsor Bridge Replacement Project (WBRP), which would see the demolition of the historic 1874 Windsor Bridge and its replacement with a two-lane, modern concrete bridge and a major new connecting road through the Square.
In a rare show of defiance and determination ordinary people, not given to protest, from all walks of life, of all ages and from across the political spectrum have given over their daily lives to protect the Square. For twelve months CAWB's landmark tent and volunteers have greeted pedestrians and travellers alike as they make their way through the Hawkesbury's premier tourism precinct.
The Government's plan was approved by the former Minister for Planning in a one minute to midnight announcement last Christmas. Since then CAWB has challenged the decision in the Land and Environment Court, with a hearing set down for October. In a sublime piece of irony, the NSW Government recognised the CAWB volunteers with a Heritage Volunteers Award for 2014.
In a rarely seen move, an interim Green Ban was placed on the Square by the CFMEU in May this year.


01:47 My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition. We studied rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year, and of those, who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students? We partnered with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs? And who's going to earn the most money? In all those very different contexts,one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. And it wasn't social intelligence. It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't IQ. It was grit.
03:00 Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina.Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.
04:51 So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called "growth mindset." This is an idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck, and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort. Dr. Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenge, they're much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.


FAO/Sia Kambou Fishermen offloading tunas at the industrial fish port of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
Climate change arguably presents the greatest threat to ocean health. It is making oceans hotter, promoting acidification, and making it harder to breathe in them by reducing dissolved oxygen levels. Imagine how poorly a fish in an aquarium would fare if we turned up the heat, dripped in acid, and pulled out the oxygen bubbler. This is slowly but surely what we are doing to our oceans.
We can each reduce our own carbon footprint and help decelerate climate change by making smart choices about what we eat and how we travel. The carbon cost of a steak and shrimp dinner, for example, can be greater than driving in a low-emission car from Los Angeles to New York. With 7.6 billion people on the planet, these decisions add up. In our businesses, we can join companies such as Salesforce, Google, and Lyft in going carbon neutral.
More than five trillion pieces of plastic pollution are afloat in the oceans. And the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is growing. For every pound of tuna we are taking out out of the ocean, we are putting two pounds of plastic back in. Bold interventions to reduce plastic pollution are urgently needed.
We can all help by refusing single-use plastics such as straws, cutlery, and food containers. These are in our lives for seconds, but can then spend centuries circulating in our oceans, causing significant damage. Individual actions should be backed by international leadership. The G7 is considering a Plastics Charter that could be a game changer in curbing the flood of plastic pollution entering our oceans.
Almost a third of global fish stocks are overfished. Fish that were once extremely abundant, such as bluefin tuna, are now becoming increasingly endangered. Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing can cost the global economy up to $23 billion annually. Restaurants and seafood markets in many areas routinely serve endangered seafood species that are the underwater equivalent of a rhino or a panda.
New apps, including Seafood Watch, can help us steer clear of these endangered species, and select sustainable and healthy seafood choices instead. Certain seafood sectors can also sustain serious human rights abuses such as child labour and slavery. Some of the same apps can help us avoid these humanitarian pitfalls.
We all know that parks and protected areas on land help wildlife such as bears, deer and elephants thrive. The same is true for underwater protected areas. In addition to preserving charismatic and ecologically important marine wildlife, including sharks, dolphins, and corals, protected areas in the ocean can act like a savings accounts for fisheries. Fish inside such areas grow larger and generate more offspring. These then spill beyond the boundaries of the protected area, and are harvested by fisheries as a return on their investment in the park.
We are behind the curve on setting up protected areas in the ocean. Today, only 2% of our global oceans are included in strongly protected marine parks. Scientists estimate we may need to protect 30% of the oceans to provide properly for the future of ocean wildlife and ocean health.
We need to back local, national and international efforts to set up more marine protected areas. Responsible travel also helps. The tourism industry can be both a key beneficiary and guardian of marine parks. We can reinforce these efforts by patronizing hotels that are financing marine park protection in their ocean backyards, by replanting corals and managing their footprint near these parks.
Every year, governments spend $35 billion on fisheries subsidies, the majority of which directly accelerate harmful overfishing. Subsidies lead to overcapacity in fishing fleets and allow vessels to fish harder for longer, even when it would not otherwise make economic sense. For example, a large portion of fishing on the high seas, where fish are an internationally shared resource, would likely be unprofitable without fisheries subsidies.
There is a crucial opportunity to take a firm stance on prohibiting harmful fisheries subsidies at the 2019 ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization. We must urge our national leaders to reach an agreement to end subsidies, and promote a healthy future for fish and fishermen in our global oceans.


I am looking for some help, trying to satisfy my curiosity by figuring out why Chrome 46.0.2490.80 won't let me access https://www.evernote.com, while Firefox works fine. Chrome was working fine too, until 2 days ago, but now it throws the NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED error.
So, the certificate is not revoked, which is why Firefox works correctly. So what's going on with Chrome? Why does it think that this certificate is revoked?
I am not sure how to interpret this. It seems VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary CA is almost the same in Chrome, except instead of being self signed, it is replaced with something that looks exactly like it, but signed by this other "Builtin Object Token" in Chrome... What does this mean? Could it have anything to do with the problem I am experiencing?
Where is Chrome getting it's certificate chain from?
The only explanation I can think of is that the "evil" version of the "VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5" certificate is already in my certificate store somewhere. It has exactly the same CN and "Authority Key Identifier" as the "good" version, but it references a CA that is no longer trusted by Chrome. I have verified this assumption by direct comparison of the certificate in question between Chrome and Firefox. They are identical, and must generated using the same private key (or they wouldn't both be correctly verifying the signature on the Symantec cert), but one is self signed (the good one), and the other is not (the evil one).
So where is this certificate store/cache, which Chrome is using? Is it internal, or would it be system wide on Ubuntu? I am pretty sure that if I was to find and clear this cache, www.evernote.com would send me a full certificate chain during the next TLS handshake, and everything would right itself (this seems to support my theory: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/37409/certificate-chain-checking).
But how do I blow away all of my cached certificates in Chrome?
First, the good news is the change has been temporarily reverted, and you should find access restored. You can force an update by going to chrome://components and under CRLSet, clicking "Update". You should have version 2698 or later to fix this issue.
To answer the second part of the question, i.e. why Chrome finds a different trust path than the others.
Note that the serial number on the last certificate is different to both serial numbers you have in your text, which means that there are several certificates with the same subject and public key out there which all can be used to built the trust chain.
Depending on the certificates you have installed in your system and the SSL stack used for validation different trust path are possible. For instance with openssl 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 it will also use the longer trust path you've seen with Chrome, i.e. the one which ends with the locally installed CA "Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority". With OpenSSL 1.0.2 the handling of multiple trust path was changed and it will now prefer the shorter path which actually ignores the "VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5" sent by the server and instead ends the trust chain in the locally installed version of a similar certificate (same public key and subject, different serial number).
The version of Chrome you've used had the specific Symantec certificate removed and now one of the possible trust path contains a revoked certificate, which means that the path cannot be trusted any longer. The bug is probably that Chrome then uses this result as the final result instead of looking for a different trust path which still would be valid.

One of the most common mistakes a lot of 4WD owners make is to spend a lot of time and resources on improving engine performance but not taking enough time boosting their ride's exhaust. Although there is nothing wrong with upgrading engine to augment its performance, you should know that your truck's exhaust system deserves just as much attention, JTW Autoparts reminds.
When you choose the right parts to fit into your 4×4, you can gain as much as a 10 percent increase in engine power, sometimes even greater. A complete exhaust system is one of the most affordable ways to boost power without compromising fuel consumption, and best of all, you can get it from reliable 4WD wreckers in Perth. And just in case you do not know where to start, you can always ask for their help in installation.
These serve as the exit points from engines. Factory versions usually have designs aimed at saving space and materials, which means you cannot expect them to perform at their peak. When shopping for manifolds, make sure you get something with a proper header, which will deliver optimum gas flow without giving you pressure issues.
This part of an exhaust system starts from the manifolds and runs through the particulate filter or the catalytic converter. Although it is quite simple to find engine pipes, you still need to make certain you choose those that feature flowing curves, so they do not affect your exhaust. Another important thing here is to ensure that much of the heat remains in the gas rather than having it transferred to and retained in the pipe.
The silencer acts as a system pressure-reducer, which deadens the noise it produces. Make sure that you invest in a strongly built and properly installed one in your off-road truck, as silencers tend to easily sustain damages.
So give that 4×4 of yours a boost in both engine and exhaust performance: work with a reliable wrecking facility now that carries parts and components of 4WD in all make and models.


Whether you are a first-time driver or a seasoned vet, car insurance is a decision that should not be taken lightly. The monthly bill will serve as a constant reminder of your decision, and it will be reinforced when it comes time to file a claim. This is a short list of the best auto insurance providers for the U.S.
Flo from Progressive's TV commercials has become a household name with her corky jokes, and perky personality, but it's not Flo alone that is drawing 1 in 10 Americans to choose Progressive as their insurance of choice. Progressive offers an array of great reasons to pick them. Starting with the competitive pricing, and options to get discounts like Snapshot, which tracks your driving habits, and gives discounts for people who are driving safely.
Progressive also has a "Name your price program" Which lets you plug in the price you can afford monthly, and they show you all the available coverage within your price, adding a sense of ease to picking a plan. On top of all of that, progressive offers roadside assistance and excellent loan or lease payoff programs for if your car has been totaled.
"Like a good neighbor, StateFarm is there" I am guessing you could hear the tune of the jingle in your head while reading that. StateFarm has more than just great sonic branding, they hold true to their slogan by having numerous local offices and agents in towns across the United States. This makes getting individualized service from a real person convenient with StateFarm Insurance. While they pride themselves on their unmatched in-person service, they also offer great online services as well, with one of the best insurance apps in the industry.
StateFarm offers two programs to save money while driving. Like Progressive, they offer savings based on your driving, with their Drive Safe & Save program. They also offer a discount for young drivers who have three years of a clean driving record with their Steer Clear program for drivers under 25.
Liberty Mutual Insurance has numerous perks like its 24-hour claim service that allows you to make claims when they happen, so you don't miss any of the details. On top of their already above average standard coverage, they offer unique add-ons, like accident forgiveness for your first accident, where your rates are unaffected by the accident. New car replacement is great for insuring a new car, they cover the cost of any totaled car within the first year of owning it.
Apart from its great addons, Liberty Mutual Insurance is known for its dependable customer service and willingness to help. They really take care of their customers and make sure they are getting the most out of their coverage. Even if you are not a Liberty Mutual Customer, they offer great tools for understanding and educating yourself on how to pick an insurance provider that is right for you. Like their Insurance Glossary that breaks down all the lingo of insurance terms. No matter where you end up getting insured, Liberty Mutual makes a great place to start your research.

Scene Title
Deckard is innocently minding his own business robbing graves when he's stumbled upon by Simon, who he tentatively holds not-quite-at-gunpoint until the dynamic duo of Abby and Teo shows up to save the day by yelling a lot and jumping on top of him. It's hard out here for a pimp.
Visually, Calvary Cemetery is a busy place. Crosses, angels, slabs, and markers jut jaggedly up at the night sky, black, white, and every shade of grey in between. There are a lot of dead people, here. But at the moment, only one that's living and conscious. The metallic bite of a shovel into soft earth drifts on the wind. Earlier in the day, it might be an innocent sound, but at this hour and in this cold, with no security guards in sight, well.
Bound as warmly as possible in the woolen black of an overcoat, scarf, knit cap, and leather gloves, a scruffy man in sunglasses is waist-deep in an occupied grave, and still digging.
Simon knows he should be here. Not after dark. Not alone. Still, he's done a bunch of probably stupid stuff since he's moved back to the city. Why not add one more mark to his tally? After jumping the north side fence, Simon starts to wander through the mausoleums, statues, and gravestones. He's looking for something in particular.
Every now and then, a light thud reverberates through the mostly empty walkways. It comes from the tennis ball Simon smuggled in with him. It can be heard from far away, and the other living thing in the cemetery, the one playing grave-digger, might even be able to tell that the sound is getting closer to him.
Flowers for Sarah Logan. Teo had never asked her what her favorite sort was, but she was the kind of girl who liked things to be just so — so he'd picked what the book of meanings said. Dark crimson roses. They look black in the darkness of the cemetery, seven of them for luck, thorns still intact and layered away from the possibility of injury by a wrapping of crinkling tissue and plastic. He's dressed casual, though; this isn't the event that the cathedral had made out of grief only a few days ago. Hoodie — sweater underneath, jeans, cigarette hanging out of his mouth and short hair sticking up in odd angles that indicate it ought to be shorter.
"Good to see you're recovered, bella," he remarks to the woman beside him. His shoes click stone without the uncertainty that precedes young men who're wise enough to be wary of the dark, and he breaths deep, expelling curlicued smoke, glances up to see the sparkling Manhattan skyline giving him the finger from a hundred headstones away.
"Recovered from one thing, only to need to recover from another." Abby journeys beside the italian stallion, flowers in her own hands. Not for the intended of Teo's late night visit, but for whomever might be adjacent and be lacking flowers to mark their rest. Sometimes… people just can't make it. "Sergei dropped by to bring me chicken soup and oranges and large bottles of vitamins. Felt like… I was home and someone was taking care of me. Why again are we doing this at this time of the night?" The blonde woman looks around, one hand in pocket, gaze alighting upon stone after stone, little mental prayers spoken for each.
Stooped over in his digging and so nearly invisible from afar, Flint plays the part of the six foot groundhog and stiffens upright at the tennis ball's latest thud. The pop of his back is mercifully muffled by the wrap of his coat, and for a moment he just stands there and listens, shovel in hand. Then, there it is again. Thud. "Damn it." There is a 'clank' when he drops the shovel, and then a more rapid series of clicks while he checks automatically over the gun he's replaced it with. To make things even more awesome, the sound of Teo and Abby's conversation is getting closer too. The wind just makes it hard to tell exactly what direction they're in.
Simon is so busy thinking about what he's going to say tonight when he finds the graves he's looking for that everything else in the cemetery is paid no attention. This includes the clank of the dropped shovel and the whispers of the two terrorists. Still, when Simon rounds a corner and comes up Flint and his hole in the ground, it's hard for Simon's eyes not to take it in.
The boy stops in his tracks and grips his tennis ball extra tightly. He stares at the man in black, then to the hole, and finally back to the man. "Um, hi," is all Simon can manage in his surprise.
"Mostly 'cause I keep an insane schedule," Teo admits. "Not enough hours in the day to get in all the syllabus-writing and ham network reading and other shi— things," things! He does things. He is capable of things other than 'shit,' "that I need to do. Sorry if I'm keeping you from job-hunting or something else, ragazza," he adds, squinting over at her. He remembers: she recently quit her job. Gone to ground. Had to, compelled by the threat of exposure from a one-eyed whelp. "Mostly, I felt like I couldn't leave it too long, after the cathedral proceedings were interrup—" Interrupted.
A more immediate demonstration: the bit of graveyard over there (or there, or possibly over there), just went 'clink,' distorted by the vespertine breeze.
Teo finds himself beset with contradictory impulses, the louder of the two insisting that one ought to run toward the sound of falling metal in a deserted graveyard, the more intelligent recommending fast tracks away. He exchanges a look with the Southerner and reaches behind him. A gleam of gunmetal, faint in the dwindled light; the Para-Ordnance hooked by his hand, not drawn, just in case, roses still in the other. "Or we could come back later," he whispers. Paranoid. They would be, after the week they've had.
"I did that today, then I scrubbed down the place, made it habitable and clean. So far, we'll see. Have to look into getting my name changed maybe. I'll wait and see if my parents get conta…" Abby's gaze mirrors Teo's going over towards the clink. She's not carrying a shotgun today, much less even loaded if she were. So instead, the lithe woman takes the flowers from Teo so he has both hands for his weapon and sinks down behind a stone, all manner of thoughts about who it could be running through her mind.
It's really, really hard to look innocent when you're standing in a half-dug grave with a shovel at your feet, a gun in your hand, and an open bottle of whiskey balanced on the overturned gravestone. Sunglasses and all, Flint snaps to attention when Simon and his tennis ball are suddenly very much right there. Leather glove creaking taut about the grip of his gun, he doesn't actually point it at the kid. Younger than he assumed, maybe. Or with less deadly ammo than he assumed. "Hi…there, Scooter."
"Who the hell is scooter?" Simon's brow wrinkles as he faces off with the strange man who feels compelled to wear his sunglasses at night. That's when spots the gun, which makes his eyes go wide. They flick to the booze bottle, then back at the gun. As he realizes the potential danger of the situation he has found himself in, he lets go of his tennis ball and throws his hands in the air in surrender.
"Fine! Scooter, yeah. I'll be whoever you want me to be, man. Just don't shoot me, alright, because I'm way too young to die."
Abby is hiding. Thus, Teo might reasonably go hiding also. However, the fact that the woman relieved him of his flowers indicates that that was not specifically the plan. He stands like a dope in the proximity of a large, column-shaped marker for a moment, before mumbling something Sicilian under his breath and dropping into a crouch. He glances over his shoulder at Abigail, motioning toward the approximate origin of the sound. And then, his center of gravity low and shoes placed inexactly one in front of the other, he begins to move toward it. Simon's exclamation is diluted by the movement of wind, which steals away all the recognizable parts of his voice and leaves only the note of surprise and fear.
Abby nods to Teo when he motions. Carefully the flowers are placed down on the gravestone that she's hiding behind and in the opposite direction, she starts to crawl, work her way around with the intention of going behind. What they've walked into, she has no clue, but if something happens, she'll want to be close, that's for sure. So, the blonde begins to stealth. Save… Abby's not that stealthy.
"What?" The question hangs humid on Flint's breath before it's brushed away by the wind, and he snorts. "I'm not going to fucking shoot you. You're like, what. Fifteen? Isn't it past curfew or something?" Despite that overwhelming reassurance, he keeps the gun hefted up and at an angle, near his shoulder. Clearly visible from behind, unfortunately. A glance to the left proves to not be the direction Teo and Abby are coming from, and he takes a deep breath before sizing self-declared Scooter up again. "Are you alone?"
Sure, Flint may claim he won't shoot Simon, but the kid has been at the wrong end of a gun too many times lately to believe it. "Seventeen," he corrects the older man. "And not that it's any of your business, but I don't have a curfew." He's probably given too much information already, but the kid isn't exactly thinking as straight as he normally does.
With a quick glance around, he shakes his head. "Nope, are you?" Simon raises a brow and look at Flint curiously. "Because whatever you're doing over there sure looks like you *should* be alone to do it."
The note of dismay seems to have faded from the wind, is replaced by syllables and, eventually, a distinctive strain of voice that Teo's far more used to receiving with the area around him illuminated by a sullen glare almost powerful enough to peel off his face like a lazer. Simon Allistair. He doesn't know any hand gestures that could possibly convey that information to Abby, so he merely sends her an urgent look over his shoulder, even as she creeps up under the full skirts of a dormant angel and he winds up around the corner of a crypt engraved with a family name too thoroughly effaced by the elements to make out in darkness.
Headstones slide past, grass dying of the cold and one dessicated bouquet of violets gone brown, and then— is that a gun? That's a gun. The lanky figure filling in the gap between those two crosses, he's holding a gun, there's— Teo cranes his head. A pit, a shovel, and his erstwhile student making interrogative sounds on the other hand. Teo's mouth pulls around a horrified grimace; he looks at Abby.
Can Teo see a shrug… in the dark. it's not like a) she's used to creeping around in cemetery's at night, b)she's used to dealing with people bearing guns. But Teo's seeming to know who the person is. The blonde bites down on her lower lip, blonde brows pulled downward as she thinks, crouched behind the angelm hands on the feet. Up up up she looks, licks her lips to wet them before the woman darts upward then strides forward with either stupid bravery or… well, stupidity, aiming to be the distraction. "GRAVE ROBBER!" Bellowed at the top of her lungs and pointing at Deckard. "YOU! YOU, SIR, ARE A GRAVE ROBBER!"
"It is my business, because you just caught me misbehaving, and I have a gun. And you don't." The elegance of that illustration of positions of power is lost somewhat in that last reminder. Perfectly capable of having polite conversation under these circumstances, Deckard tips his wrist so that dull moonlight slicks along the barrel of his — "Fuck." Abby's zerg rush is more than enough to draw his attention and his gun around from the (momentarily) lesser threat of Simon. "Hey! Shut up!" Or…what. He keeps the gun up, but looks a little uncertain. She looks kind of familiar.
Simon is about to say something smart-assed. Something that may have very well got himself shot up. He doesn't, though, because Abby stumbles into view shouting accusations at the strange man. He thinks he notices her from someplace before, but being that he live in New York City, that happens often.
"I'm just *wishing* he's a grave robber," Simon says, because the other things running through his mind are scarier than that. For now he remains standing with his hands raised, though he eyes the tennis ball at his feet and inches towards it.
The mouthed no and throat-slitting gesture came an eyeblink too late or were uninterpretable, hard to tell which. Teo knows just enough about firearms to know that putting your gun up is something you do after you've decided not to put holes in a body, which was a good sign: grave desecration, done discreetly in the dark, isn't becoming of a criminal who's especially eager to have to murder civilians. He's met a few criminals who are especially eager to have to murder civilians, so he notices that small distinction, at least until he's not noticing anything except Abby's thunderous entrance onto the scene and Deckard very much pointing his gun at her.
In what might be construed by some as an incredibly dense move, the P-104 goes behind his back, into his waistband, and the young Sicilian takes flight. Runs, hurls himself bodily, at Deckard's outstretched gun arm, his own moving to seize elbow and wrist with about as much finesse as a bull terrier, point that thing at something that isn't capable of bleeding. This category of things includes himself, but he doesn't exactly have the aim of a kung-fu master; his fingers are ridged funny from enough broken bones to remind him of that.
"I'll not shut up! How dare you desecrate a grave! His soul has left and his… or her body is in repose and you are digging the…" Enter Teo. Abby throws her hands up and shrieks. Purposeful. Hopefully to throw Deckard off a little more and then dives for the ground to hopefully avoid being shot as well. Wow. this is turning out to be a great night!
"Jesus, lady—" Suddenly: Teo. The gun goes off. It's kind of inevitable. There's no aim behind the bullet that hisses off after the discharge, and Flint goes down into the pit of the grave, possibly followed by his assailant (because he's so the victim here), depending upon direction and momentum. The gun is dropped, and all manner of creative grunting and cursing accompanies his efforts to wrench away and get a grip on one of his many other friendly weapons. The fact that he's at the bottom of a grave and possibly under a guy makes this difficult.
It all happens so quickly that Simon finds it difficult to take in, at first. There's that girl being all righteous, which is weird in the first place especially in a cemetery at night. Then there's Teo, flying into the scene and, once again, to his rescue. BANG! The gun goes off and Deckard goes down. This sends Simon into a rush of gathering up his tennis ball and running over to the edge of the grave to see what's happening.
"What the Hell, Teo! Are you bringing dates on your nightly stalks now?" The kid glances briefly over at Abby, still looking flustered and afraid despite his words. He looks down at the grave robber/criminal/murderer(?) and sneers.
Cue the swell of orchestral accompaniment, befitting of a hero's decisive action. More of a dry and wooden thump as Teo goes end-over-end into a corpse-sized hole in the ground with the man he's hanging onto. The sweet adrenal thrill of the accomplishment of one minor objective — getting the weapon away — ends pretty abruptly when the fall punches the air out of his lungs. Fear is an appropriate reaction.
Desperation, also: Deckard's going for something, he can feel it, this isn't the frantic scramble of surrender. Unhelpfully, the next emotion that knots through Teo's lobes is annoyance. "I'm not fucking st—!" Fuck it, fuck it, fuckety fuck fuck. Blinded by darkness and deaf in one ear from the discharge of the handgun so close to his face, he gives up on figuring Deckard out, doesn't even try pinning him down. Instead, his fingers grip the edges of the coffin, push him up, back, and then he's bringing his head down atop Deckard's tousled coconut.
A headbutt, graceless and probably self-destructive, but Hell. It's the hardest thing he has on him: his skull, and the metal plate he had surgically nailed into it, once upon a time.
"Teo!" Okay, the other guy knows his name. Abby's scrambling to the grave quickly. "Teo!" Sweet blessed Jesus the blonde's hair is poking comically over the side of the grave, leaning over as far as she dares. Which is far enough that her balance is off and the blonde topples head first into the grave on top of the pair with another shriek.
Deckard has the noble privilege of literally seeing that metal plate floating around with Teo's skull before it rocks hard against his own. Super cool sunglasses knocked away and hat lost somewhere in the fray, the cold light of his eyes burns all the more wickedly exposed in the darkness pooling at the grave bottom. For a split second, he stiffens, back curling automatically against the pain, but the reflex is short-lived. Snip go the puppet strings, and all the the tension goes out of him and the grip he was gaining on his taser, but his eyes keep on glowing. Dazed or unconscious, he is not in a state to appreciate the pain involved in having Abby fall on top of the guy who is…on top of him. The lights are literally on, but no one's home. It's kind of creepy.
Simon looks over at Abby just long enough to see her, too, tumble into the grave. Simon doesn't scared anymore, just truly bewildered by the fight that just occurred. "Crazy. They're all crazy," he mumbles under his breath as he shakes his head and looks down at the pile of people. Since everything seems to be slowing down, what with the headbutt and all, Simon relaxes. "You guys, uh, need some help?" Not that he cares, really. If anything it's more for Abby, who hasn't gotten on Simon's bad side tonight.
Teo's vision has gone a bit fuzzy. By a bit fuzzy, he means it's hard to distinguish the long yellow hair that swats his cheek from the curls scratching his chin by virtue of anything other than the smell of shampoo and the texture of strands. Disoriented, he sort of paddles in place for a moment, gritting his teeth against the ache that starts up inside his head, a ferocious pulsating that rivals Abby's heart hammering on his shoulder. Ow. Oww. He wants his Madre. Simon's saying something, a touch querulous, unmistakably dry. "I don'… I'm… holy motherfucking — che il cazzo fai?" They're glowing. Deckard's eyes— irises. Under the sunglasses— holy— he bucks upright, blinking rapidly, reaching up with one arm to press Abby upright and the other to find a handhold on the edge of the pit. He finds none. Winds up pointing at Deckard's head — and its two or three gently-rotating copies — instead, a query in motion.
"No! No, no I'm good… oh Heavens." Abby's a little shocked. This has not been on the plan and she's pretty sure that it wasn't for any of the other three present. That's a hand pressing her against the side, the two of them orienting. At least, that's what she thinks and for once doesn't give the "ladies" lecture. Instead she too is looking at the unconscious? Flint sprawled beneath them, even as Abby's hand threads to the back of Teo's neck. "He's an insurance salesman. I know him." Even as she drops her voice to murmur quietly a prayer, that rush of tingle and warmth from her to Teo.
The light dims and dulls out entirely to leave dull yellow orange floaters behind in the vision of Flint's attackers turned oglers. Ok, now he's unconscious. He could be having trouble breathing. Because there are two people on top of him. Halp.
Simon frowns at the apparent lack of need for help. He only does this for a moment, because Teo's little freak out draws the kid's attention to Deckard's glowing eyes. His own narrow slightly, but they don't linger long on the scene. "Fine," he says softly under his breath. He gently tosses his tennis ball into the pit, aiming for Teo's head. Returning it might give the Italian a reason to follow him around next time. "See you guys," Simon says as he tosses his hand into the air, before walking off and away from the guns and the graves. He'll have to come back another night to have a chat with his parents.
Simon has disconnected.
Teo is hit on the head. Entirely by someone else, this time, which is a pleasant sort of change if such a thing exists after getting hit on the head. By then, he's managed to pull himself off the coffin and the man lying atop it, his friend as well, unsettled by Deckard's eyes— but moreso as the light from them fade. "What! I—" bonk. His hands jump up to the top of his head; he casts about wildly, upward, sideways, even as his brows draw down in consternation. "Figlio di un cane— Simon, where are you g— what the cunting fu—" Probably more due to Abby's presence than anything else, he stops before carrying his stream of foul verbiage, pauses to mumble a dispirited word of gratitude when he notices the sensation of healing drawing away from his skin, replacing his headache with clarity. Or a reasonable facsimile thereof. "That's not an insurance salesman. At best, he's a fucking liar." A beat. "Is he okay?" Teo cranes his head.
"No Teo, he's not an insurance salesman. I know that, he knows that." Teo's going to be relatively fine. "Get out of here. Go … get your friend. I'll deal with the insurance salesman. He'll be fine" Of course he'll be fine. It's Abby. She'd heal… Sylar even. Maybe. Abby's shifting best she can around the confines of the grave to do the same movement that she did for Teo. Palm to the back of Flint's neck and heal. "He's Flint. He's a customer at the diner."
Blue eyes cut sharply toward Abby, before dropping back to Deckard's conspicuously unlit face. "Alla larga, Abby. No way. You remember what happened the last time somebody left you alone to heal some dillweed who wasn't who he said he was?" Teo bites off the end of that sentence, realizing that might have come out harsher than he had intended. Hadn't meant to, though. He cranes his head; can't hear footsteps anymore, not a one. Curses under his breath even as he turns back toward Abby and her patient, pulls his .45 out of his trousers, finally, clicking it off safety. Dust falls from his sleeve as he sidles up to the healer, and peers down at the prone man, though he's still speaking of the child: "He's a student at the school where I work. I'll call his home after this."
"Flint's not a stranger," Abby murmurs, breaking up her quiet prayers, watching his face as she heals him. "Customer that comes to my.. the diner. He was there too, that day in the street, that's caused all my problems of late. I can't leave him like this. Just… you can watch over him and from atop can't you?" Back to prayers. Teo could be swearing in Italian. How the heck would she know.
Deckard blinks, then squeezes his eyes shut, hard. "Fuck." His voice is a rasp, followed by a cough when he tries to drag an arm under himself to push up. He is still kind of squashed. His ribs hurt, his head hurts, he has the warm tinglies, and he is lying on a casket. Weird night.
Though arguably inexperienced, Abby's never been specifically naive. Knowing the distinction is what allows Teo to assent to her recommendation, knowing full well that the risk to her might well be greater if he's down here and in the older man's face. "Eh, si, si." He grunts his assent, breath clouding opaque from his mouth; reaches up to haul himself out with a one-and-a-half handed grip on the ragged edge of grass and cold-stiffened dirt. He rolls out in a mess of soil and dishevellment and scrabbles clumsily to kneel, gun in one bedraggled hand though it isn't likely to hit much should elite kung-fu suddenly take up residence in Deckard's limbs.
"Now I can breath and he won't try to snap my neck when he…" Then Deckard is moving. "Flint. Keep your but down till I'm done. Cannot believe I'm doing this…" It's that waitress, yeah, that one, that patched him up. "Let me guess. 13 mm armor plating on the coffin you had to get for another customer?" Abby's blue eyes are peering into Deckards previously strange ones.
Decent reflexes for an old guy, maybe, but no kung fu. The sound of Abby's too-close voice sinks in simultaneously with the sensation of contact, and he twists to snatch at her wrist, only to not make it all the way around before he's caught by a hitch in his side. His stun gun falls out of his coat to tumble ineffectually into the dirt, and he seems to make the decision to stay very still. Whether or not he caught a glimpse of Teo's gun and whether or not that's a factor is hard to tell. Still raised up on the one arm, he just mutters a surly, "Fuck you," and frowns at the grave wall.
All right. Teo's up. Sort of upright, also, sitting, feet underneath him, some grass poking out of his head and his gun finally settled into an approximately useful position in his hand. The stun-gun, when it falls, warrants an eyebrow high on his forehead and a moment's study. Bulk and shape are wrong for anything that spits bullets, he notices, grudgingly relaxing from the momentary tension that Deckard's grasping twitch had triggered in him. "She doesn't deserve that," he points out, sitting on his heels.
Scowl. See, she can scowl. "Not till I'm married, and it won't be you, Flint. You can talk decent or I can leave you with a headache." She doesn't pull her hand back. Her blue eyes flickering to the stun gun and then back to Deckard. "Thank you Teo." The warm tingle is steady, suffusing throughout Deckard. the same as from the diner. "Seriously. Everyone swears. Surely there's better ways to swear. We are in a grave, there's a coffin beneath us, which I might add, I will really need to pray that He doesn't think i'm disrespecting the poor soul beneath us. It's night, and your eyes were glowing like your gifted as well and Teo's got a gun trained on you. From what I've heard, he's a pretty good shot, and you're… well you're underneath me. In a hole. So. Without using the traditional swear words, think of something more creative and gentle on a lady's ear hmmm?" a lecture, in a grave by a blonde. "I'm having a real bad week. I deserve at least that."
Flint's nose rankles. Feeling foolish now, and more than a little irritated, he shifts enough to reach for his sunglasses under the pin of his supporting arm. The frame is bent. He drops them again. His eyes do not glow. Maybe even pointedly so, though the absence of that advantage leaves him nearly blind, and twitching against every scuffing movement of Abby behind him and Teo above. He says nothing.
And now quiet. Awwwkward. Teo's cheeks puff out like dandelion clocks as he exhales into the black cold of the night. Questions assail his mind, as they're wont to do when it's terribly quiet; conversations are best started with those, Madre always told him. Taking a well-meaning interest in the life and times involved in what might be a beautiful new acquaintance. Why do your eyes glow? Why are you digging up a dead guy? Do you always walk around armed to the teeth? Me too. His eyebrows move slightly. He takes another breath, exhales again, divides his attention between Abby's prayers and Flint's sullen silence.
"Oh, so, now you can't think of anything to say, so your going to sulk while I heal you? Few more moments, then you should be good as gold and T and I can leave you alone to… this." The young woman shakes her head side to side, dropping back to breathy prayers, giving it a little boost to get out of there quicker.
"Where's my gun?" Evidently having placed the conversation about his cursing firmly on ignore, Flint is content to stare at the grave wall for about five seconds more before he starts moving again, this time more deliberately to shake off Abby. "I'll be fine. I black out in the bottom of graves all the time."
Evidently taking Deckard's insistence that he's quite all right for fact, Teo shifts marginally closer and drops an arm down into the pit, offering Abby a hand up. The .45 remains trained on the recovering man, coincidentally. "I think it's up here somewhere," he says. Isn't sure. Hopes so. "Feel free to look for it once we're out." Dangling into empty air, his fingers open and close three or four times, grasping. It means: come on Abigail, we got to go. "Oh— grab that tennis ball?"
"Grabbing." She doesn't bother to answer Deckard, just "ungrateful" muttered under her breath as she snatchs the yellow ball tucking it into a pocket and maneuvering herself into a spot where she can grab Teo's hand and scrabble herself out. "We're coming during the day next time T. Seriously."
Able to get up onto his feet without more trouble than what residual stiffness has to offer, Flint has definitely noticed Teo's gun by the time his head is above ground level. He eyes it, then he eyes Teo, and keeps eyeing him while he sets to brushing cascades of dirt and dust off of his coat. Still cranky.
"All right," Teo agrees without a whole lot of reluctance. The gun is clicked back onto safety and stowed before he digs his heels in and leans back, hauls Abby's slender frame up to ground level with an easy pull of muscle on bone and traction on dirt. In a moment, he's steadying her with a gentle grip on her elbow, before he releases her and recedes slightly from the edge, studying the disgruntled grave-robber and his project. It's a filthy thing, what's happening here. Though Abby would let him do it, and it is neither his duty nor his inclination to inconvenience all of them by making a fuss. His shoes shift uncomfortably across clumps of dirt and overturned slabs of lawn. Then, the paragon of awkwardness: "Sorry that I hit you, Deckard." He steps back.
Abby dusts herself off, getting dirt from crevises, adjusting scarf and doesn't bother to even make sure Deckards fine. Just starts heading to where the flowers were deposited. "He'll be fine. leave him alone to what he's doing. Lets just go do what you got to do and then get some coffee?" She calls over her shoulder.
"Don't worry about it." Once the worst of the dirt is off, leaving plenty behind, Flint just stands there. No move is made to get back out of the grave while they're both still here and have a gun. "Sorry I pointed a gun at you," is called after them as an afterthought. He doesn't actually sound all that sorry, but maybe it's the thought that counts.
It might be. After all, Teo apologized and he's still armed, and looking down from up here, and… "Ciao." A last glance, and then he isn't anymore, gone in a jogging thump of footsteps and a distant rustle of roses.
The cops were called once Abby and Teo cleared the area. They would've found the open grave but Deckard checked out pretty quick post confrontation.

I am very passionate about life and live it to the fullest. I believe that compromise gives a relationship a better chance of survival. I am a very confident, self motivated, aggressive, open minded, understanding, non judgmental and mentally fit. My finances are stable, which allows me to live independently. I'm a gentle, loving and caring person with a marvelous sense of humor I love to laugh and enjoy the simple things that life has to offer. I am bluntly honest, loyal and expect the same from others. I have my personal shortcomings and issues, as well all do. I can be spontaneous, but I prefer planned events. I love to cook, especially for my significant other and also for friends and family. I love animals, and have 3 dogs and cats. I am seeking a man whose beauty comes from within and in his manner. He must be genuine, responsible, confident, assertive, independent and open-minded. I am looking for a man who wants to be Happy and is motivated to work hard to achieve his goals in life and wants a good woman to share that with. I am looking for a friend, a companion and a lover. I believe that communication is the Key...keeping it simple and being truthful all of the time. A person needs to understand that happiness comes from within and no one can make you happy until you are happy with yourself. A person must be self-accepting and understanding that in order for a relationship to succeed, each person has to be complete within themselves. Relationships fail because one partner takes the other for granted, or make the assumption that the relationship will run on auto-pilot. We are accountable for our own actions roles in our relationships, be it friends or more, and maintain a mutual respect and concern for them, embrace life, Love, and enjoy the moment.. One final thing that I would like to mention...I am a SELFLESS person, which should not be interpreted for anything less or more than what it is... This does not mean that I am a sucker for a smile or anything else ,its just those little things make me happy and its meanin everything i am always thought of .

Первая битва при Мокре произошла 10 октября 1445 года близ горы Мокра (сегодня — город Македонски-Брод, Северная Македония). Это было оттоманское возмездие за послание, отправленное Скандербегом султану Мураду II. Албанские войска под командованием Скандербега нанесли поражение османской армии под командованием Фируз-паши. Это была вторая крупная албанская победа над Османской империей.

Исторический фон
После победы в битве при Варне (10 ноября 1444 года) османский султан Мурад II попытался установить мир с албанским лидером Скандербегом. Султан Мурад II отправил Скандербегу послание, в котором напомнил ему о том, как он принял албанца в качестве своего сына и воспитал его при своем дворе, а также попытался запугать его, напомнив о размерах и мощи османской армии. Скандербег получил султанское письмо и решил ответить. Скандербег напомнил Мураду, как он разбил османскую армию в битве при Торвиолле. Когда турецкий посол уехал, чтобы передать Мураду это послание, Скандербег приказал своим людям готовиться к отражению нового вражеского нападения.

Битва
Когда султан получил это послание, он дал Фируз-паше войско численностью около 9 000 человек. Его задачей было контролировать передвижения Скандербега и не дать ему вторгнуться в Македонию, соседнюю османскую провинцию. Фируз-паша отправился из Скопье, планируя быстро напасть на Крую и удивить албанцев. Во время марша османские воины думали, что они собираются сражаться с Яношем Хуньяди, который восстанавливал венгерскую армию после разгрома при Варне. Фируз-паша слышал, что албанская армия на время была распущена, поэтому он планировал быстро обойти долину Чёрного Дрина через Призрен. Передвижения турок-османов были замечены разведчиками Скандербега, который двинулись навстречу Фируз-паше. Скандербег ожидал турецкую армию в долине близ Призрена и только привел с собой свою личную гвардию из 3 500 человек, состоящую из 2 000 кавалерии и 1 500 пехоты, в то время как остальные его силы были отправлены домой. Албанским войскам было приказано укрыться в лесу у горы Мокра внутри узкой долины, в которой они хорошо знали местность. Турки-османы вступили в долину и не могли найти легкого выхода, так как албанцы блокировали большую часть главных дорог. Османская кавалерия была ограничена в передвижении из-за леса и подверглась нападению албанской пехоты. Османские войска были разбиты, оставив после себя 1 500 убитых и 1 000 раненых или отставших солдат, которые были взяты в плен албанцами. Фируз-паша погиб в этом бою.

После битвы
Европейские дворы были обрадованы битвой при Мокре после поражения при Варне. Папа римский Евгений IV поднял гимн в качестве похвалы тому, что христианскому миру был предоставлен новый защитник после того, как он услышал о битве. Неаполитанский король Альфонсо V Арагонский отправил множество похвал Скандербегу вместе с папой в Дураццо. Папские послы прибыли в Крую привезли сообщение о том, что назначен новый епископ, Питер Перлати. Скандербег послал четыре османских знамени, которые он захватил, королю Альфонсо в знак доказательства своей победы. Скандербег и Альфонсо стали близкими союзниками, одновременно устанавливая связи с другими европейскими государствами.

Knowledge = Power. That's a term I believe in a lot. All to often I see young 'entrepreneurs' launch a company and wonder why they aren't getting any revenue. People are so caught up in the lifestyle and money that they don't educate themselves on their industry, and that is where you can take the advantage.

Kálmán Tihanyi, in  [] (* 28. April 1897 in Üzbég, Komitat Neutra; † 26. Februar 1947 in Budapest) war ein ungarischer Physiker und Erfinder. Er verbesserte die Empfindlichkeit  der Kathodenstrahlröhre und erfand 1928 das Radioskop, ein vollständiges elektronisches Fernseh-System bestehend aus  einer Kamera, einer Bildaufnahmeröhre (aufnahmeseitig ähnlich dem Ikonoskop) und einem Fernsehgerät.

Tihanyi arbeitete in den 1930er Jahren in London für das britische Luftfahrtministerium. Er kehrte nach Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs, aber noch vor dem Kriegseintritt Ungarns, 1940 nach Ungarn zurück. Als Anhänger des Politikers Endre Bajcsy-Zsilinszky wurde er 1941 wegen Propagandaaktivitäten gegen die nationalsozialistischen Deutschungarn zeitweise verhaftet. Nach der deutschen Besetzung Ungarns im März 1944 wurde er von der deutschen SS für fünf Monate inhaftiert. Als die Deutschen im Oktober 1944 das Szálasi-Regime der Pfeilkreuzler installierten, ging er in den Untergrund.

And it's not just the connections of fingertips on the same string. How do they connect from one string to another? For example, moving from third finger on the D string to third finger on the G string is a farther reach than moving the other way, since the G string is farther from your hand. Your muscle memory needs to take note of these things for you; your brain has enough to do and can't understand these relationships in any intellectual way. Another cross-string example: Fingers feel closer together when going from 1st finger on a higher string to 3d finger on the next lower string, than if using the same pattern but on the same string.
Sensing finger relationships is different from just placing fingers "correctly." If you move the 3d finger from D string to G string, it will feel very different to your hand than moving to the same note (C, 3d finger on the G string) from a B (2d finger on the same string, a half-step away).
There's even more to it than than learning how two fingers on one string or even on neighboring strings relate to each other. Finger relationships also have to do with bigger patterns, such as the single pattern used for playing an 8-note major scale (if starting on open string, for example, we simply need the 2d and 3d fingertips to touch). There are simple and frequently-used four-note patterns as well, such as what I refer to as the "Frere Jacques motif" — 0120, 1231, etc. You can painlessly become familiar with all these basic patterns, with animated images, in Technique Video Group #3.
I worked with a boy recently who was having a lot of trouble learning a simple tune. He had memorized which fingers to use when, and more or less understood the timing of the tune, but it was totally unpredictable as to whether he could get through a phrase of the tune or not. Sometimes he would play the correct finger but on the wrong string. I noticed that not only was his 1st finger too low but all three fingers were touching each other. Of course, this finger relationship almost never happens — normally only two fingertips on each string touch each other.
What I realized was that he was totally excluding his ears by learning the tune by reading it and memorizing what notes or what fingers to use. Because his fingers had no sense of the relationships between them, his ears had no idea what the tune sounded like. It was no surprise to find out that in practicing, he focused on getting all the notes in order, but didn't spend time listening to or playing with a recording of the phrases or the tune. Learning notes in this way is not musical and not very rewarding; it is more like busywork ordered up by a teacher.
If the finger relationships are wrong, or if a player is not even aware of them, the ears cannot engage in helping learn and remember a tune. If the relationships are there, the ears know what the tune sounds like and can help you retain it. Even if the notes are not technically in tune, the relationships guarantee that you are hearing the tune correctly, and you can make simple adjustments to play in tune. If the relationships aren't there, you're at square one.
This is why I invented (and patented) the Finger Finder, a slide rule serving as a quick visual reference showing the relationships of the fingers in all keys. I've been gratified to see many players enjoy and rely on their Finger Finder. Some folks don't understand why it does not show the names of the notes, but hopefully after reading this article, you will understand that knowing the names of notes is a whole different matter than learning finger relationships. Although note names are useful for communicating with other players, the relationships are the heart of playing well.
If you have a Finger Finder, be sure to use it, and pick up whatever you can about the connections between fingers. You'll enjoy the way animated images from the Finger Finder are included in the scale and note patterns in Technique Video Group #4. If you don't have a Finger Finder, you can find one here on fiddle-online in the Credits Store, or from my site at this link, or from other sellers, such as Amazon, Shar, and Johnson.
