Kate Mara, Simon Pegg to Star in Thriller 'Inheritance'
Kate Mara and Simon Pegg are in negotiations to star in the independent thriller "Inheritance" with British director Vaughn Stein attached.
The film explores what happens when the patriarch of a wealthy and powerful family suddenly passes away, leaving his wife and daughter with a shocking secret inheritance that threatens to unravel and destroy their lives.
Highland Film Group launched foreign sales at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, Calif. this week. UTA and Highland Film Group are co-repping the U.S. rights.
Matthew Kennedy wrote the script, and Richard B. Lewis is producing through his Southpaw Entertainment banner alongside David Wulf of WulfPak Productions, and Convergent Media's Dan Reardon and Santosh Govindaraju.
"Inheritance" is Highland's second collaboration with Stein; it previously partnered on his debut film "Terminal," which was released earlier this year.
Mara's credits include Ridley Scott's "The Martian," "Meagan Leavey" and "Chappaquidick." She received an Emmy nomination for her work on "House of Cards."
Pegg recently reprised the role of Benji Dunn, starring alongside Tom Cruise in the Paramount's "Mission: Impossible – Fallout," and also starred in Steven Spielberg's "Ready Player One" earlier this year. He can next be seen in the horror action comedy "Slaughterhouse Rulez," which he also will executive produce alongside frequent collaborator Nick Frost under the pair's Stolen Picture banner.
Mara is repped by UTA, Mosaic and Sloane, Offer, Weber and Dern. Pegg is represented by UTA and Dawn Sedgwick Management. Stein is represented by UTA and Grandview.

Al Jazeera repels cyber-attacks that sought to disrupt media network
John Leyden 10 June 2021 at 14:39 UTC
Cyber-attacks Network Security Cybercrime
Attacks 'aimed at accessing, disrupting, and controlling' news platform thwarted
Media network Al Jazeera claims to have overcome a series of cyber-attacks that were indented to "access, disrupt, and control" some of its news platforms and websites.
In a statement, Al Jazeera condemned a series of linked attacks that ran from June 5-8, peaking on June 6 before the screening of an episode of Al Jazeera Arabic's Ma Khafia Atham ('What is Hidden is Greater') documentary series.
"Between June 5 and 8, 2021, Al Jazeera websites and platforms experienced continued electronic attacks aimed at accessing, disrupting, and controlling some of the news platforms," it said.
"Al Jazeera's service provider was able to monitor and fend off all the… attacks and prevent them from achieving their goal."
Catch up on the latest cyber-attack news and analysis
The Daily Swig asked Al Jazeera's press team to clarify the nature of the attacks. A variety of possibilities ranging from DDoS, through to account hijacking and malware – or some combination thereof – are consistent with its explanation of the assault.
We also invited Al Jazeera to offer comment on who might be behind the attack and what might have motivated it.
"Al Jazeera condemns these cyber-attacks and affirms its right to pursue legal recourse against the perpetrators," it concluded.
Attack on media titans
Cyber-attacks against television stations and media networks are rare but not unprecedented.
For example, French channel TV5Monde was hit by a severe cyber-attack in April 2015 that disrupted broadcasts and affected the network's social media account.
Carried out in the name of the 'CyberCaliphate', the attacks were subsequently attributed to APT28, elsewhere identified as a unit of Russian military intelligence.

Spike TV to award Floyd Mayweather "TBE (The Best Ever)" despite multiple domestic violence allegations, jail time served
Human rights organization Breakthrough calls on Spike TV to "restore a bit of balance to the moral universe" and "to support gender equality."
NEW YORK — Yesterday, Spike TV announced that it would honor boxer Floyd Mayweather as "TBE (The Best Ever)" at its 2015 Guys' Choice Awards. This announcement comes despite Mayweather's history of domestic violence allegations, including jail time served for a domestic violence-related offense. Global human rights organizationBreakthrough's Vice President of Communications Lynn Harris issued the following statement in response:
"Today, Spike TV is the best ever at excusing domestic violence. To honor Floyd Mayweather for anything other than world-class shamelessness is clueless at best, callous at worst. And when our sports, media and other powerful cultural institutions fail to send the message that violence is unacceptable, we must send that message ourselves. That's what we did in May with our #noMayPac campaign, which reached nearly 45 million with the call to do literally anything else rather than watch Mayweather v. Pacquiao. Now Spike TV has given us the chance to do that again. We hope Spike TV advertisers will think twice about what they're buying into. We hope fellow honoree Salma Hayek—who has done important, effective work to fight gender-based violence—will challenge Spike TV to higher standards.
"We call on Spike TV to take this opportunity to restore a bit of balance to the moral universe by giving a bit of its awards show airtime—or revenue—to support gender equality, which we know is guys' choice. And we know viewers and sports fans will continue to join the real fight of the century: the fight for safe homes, healthy relationships, and human rights for all."
For more information on Breakthrough and how to take a stand against violence, go to www.breakthrough.tv.

"We're in slip fifteen, don't forget," River said, tossing a grin over her shoulder at Simon. He hesitated on the threshold between Serenity and Taggamort station, and Kaylee gave him a little shove.
"Go on, have fun," she admonished.
"You should come," he said, tugging gently on her hand.
"Captain wants the cargo in, fast," Kaylee said apologetically. Jayne grunted extravagantly behind her as he wheeled a red-stamped crate up the ramp, clearly pointing out that he was doing work, damn it, and anyone else who was standing around should be doing some too and not mooning over each other. "Besides, I have to get those new couplings in or we're going to have a mighty short trip out of here. Go get your stuff."
Simon smiled at her, kissed her quickly, and headed down the busy corridor after his sister.
"Kaylee is planning a welcome-home party. Be certain to bring her a gift," River said when he caught up with her. Simon blushed just a little, and coughed.
"Right. And where are we going?" he asked.
"To see the photosynthesis effect in plants warmed by two-point-six billion wavelengths of light," she said instantly. "They have one of the best atriums off-planet in this system."
Simon smiled in spite of himself. Mal had been taking a lot of ship-to-ship and ship-to-station jobs lately, and Simon was seriously starting to long for seeing something growing that wasn't mold on food. That amused him whenever he stopped to think about it; he hadn't even thought about something as simple as good scenery in a while. It was amazing what you could stop to consider when the fierce edge of fear of discovery had faded. Ever since Miranda, Alliance heat had been turned down slightly on the Tams. None of the higher-ups wanted a repeat of the Mr. Universe broadcast.
Ahead, the market announced itself with colorful banners and an increase in chatter. Taggamort Station was on the border between Core space and Outer Rim space, which made it a good place for smugglers and thieves (and the occasional semi-honest businessman) to sell their goods. Simon's eyes lit up at the tables of medical supplies, locked and guarded, and subtly felt for the coins in his belt pouch. Yes, he had enough to resupply, finally. Serenity had been doing decently, for a change.
River nodded at him absently and continued to stroll in the direction of the atrium. It was only a stone's throw away from the market, lit up with three nearer stars and billions of farther ones, and Simon only felt a faint hint of his usual unease as River vanished into the crowd. She'd gotten a lot more independent, confident, and stable in the last year, and little of it had to do with the drugs he'd given her. Confronting her demons had done more to heal her than Simon could have hoped for.
Shunting aside his near-reflexive worry on her behalf, Simon walked up to the merchant's stall to begin a thorough bargaining session.
Undoubtedly Zoe would have gotten him better prices a lot faster, but Simon's genuine medical knowledge had finally impressed the seller enough to get him what he needed. Turning away from the bustling crowds, he entered the atrium, listening closely for River. He knew he didn't dare go back to the ship without something for Kaylee, and heaven help him, he needed River's assistance to find the right thing. It was astoundingly quiet amidst the lush trees, bushes, and flowers, and the scent in here was rich and sweet. It reminded him of Inara's perfume, and he wondered if Kaylee would like something like that.
"Unlikely. It would clash with engine grease," River said from right behind him. Simon didn't even start.
"Do you have any better ideas?" he asked, hefting his now-heavy medical bag into a more comfortable position.
"Run," she said quietly, eyes fixed behind him.
Simon blinked. "What?" He peered over his shoulder and his heart almost stopped. The man strolling the paths behind them wasn't wearing the full Alliance uniform, but the patch on his arm and gun in his holster proclaimed his allegiance. The man looked right at them, squinted fixedly, and then his eyes flew open wide in recognition.
"Halt!" he barked, and Simon took River's excellent advice. They ducked down the paths of the atrium, shredding foliage in their wake, and burst back into the market. They could hear the Alliance officer shouting behind them, muffled by the distance and the crowd, and kept elbowing their way through.
The docking ring was the next corridor down, nearly within sight, when alarms starting wailing, lights flashing, a synthesized voice telling everyone that the station was about to go on lockdown. If that happened, more Alliance military would show up, and there was little anyone could do to stop it. Simon and River ran into the docking ring in time to see pressure doors start to close all along the corridor. The docked captains were sealing up and blasting off, not daring to risk their business with more Alliance on the way.
Seven, eight… Simon was mentally counting the slips, hunting for a familiar face, while trying to keep up with River's lighter, unburdened step. Ten. Another door slammed down next to them, sealing off another ship. Twelve.
"HALT!" A magnified voice boomed through the corridor, and Simon could hear the tramp of feet quick-marching in unison. They were close, too close!
"Fourteen!" he gasped out loud, and his eyes strained ahead to look for Serenity. Something ricocheted off a beam next to them, and Simon ducked, his heart pounding. He twisted to look behind him, feet still flying, and saw a small squad of security officers only a half-dozen slips away. Terrified, he faced forward, and saw the familiar red-stamped crates Jayne had been loading this afternoon. He grabbed River's hand and nearly flung her into the slip, both of them tripping and landing on the deck in their haste. The pressure door slammed shut nearly at their heels.
"Get a move on before they try to override the dock controls!" someone yelled, their voice distorted on the aged comm system. He'd assumed it was Mal, and closed his eyes for a moment in relief as Zoe overrode the docking couplings and engaged the engines.
Simon's eyes flew open again. The deep rumble that vibrated the ship was nothing like Serenity's quieter susurration. He sat up, looking around more closely, realizing the spacious cargo bay, while somewhat beat-up, was not a Firefly. He didn't know what kind of ship it was (Kaylee might know, but the roar of the engines as the drives were revved up to full meant Kaylee was nowhere near to ask), other than aged and spacious. River just looked around curiously, taking in the surroundings with a calm Simon wished he felt.
"We've fallen in with rough folk, Simon," she said serenely.
Simon opened his mouth to ask for clarification when he heard the uncomfortably familiar sound of someone priming a shotgun. He turned to see a pale, red-haired woman leveling the weapon at him, her attractiveness mitigated by her somber demeanor. More cocking guns drew his attention to a freakishly tall man who looked like he could have bested Mal in a fair fight, and Jayne in an unfair one.
This is just not fair at all, Simon thought faintly.
"Hello Sam," River said, and turned to look up at the red-haired woman. "Anna."
"Sam, what the hell is going on down there?" a gruff voice demanded over the comm. Now that Simon wasn't hearing it through a haze of adrenaline, it clearly wasn't Mal's voice.
"Looks like two of Mal's crew ran on here by accident when the alarms sounded," Sam called as he slapped open the comm.
"Who we got?"
"The Tams."
There was a beat of silence, and then a curse. "Anna, you mind taking these two to Bobby? I'm gonna call Mal before he accuses me of crew-napping."
Sam holstered his weapon, but it took Dean coming back on to say, "Anna, stand down," to get her to shoulder her piece.
The tall man reached down to haul Simon up from the floor.
"Welcome to The Impala."
"He's taking this badly," Dean said over his shoulder.
Sam could see the view screen, and the view wasn't pretty. To say Mal took the news badly was a bit of an understatement. Sam knew Dean had Bobby take the Tams to their infirmary to keep them occupied while he contacted Serenity, because he didn't need an audience for this. It wasn't unusual that Dean and Mal got into a shouting match, but Sam thought this one was more colorful than most. Mal was downright tetchy about the Tams, and Dean had been right to keep them out of the conversation.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Mal demanded, looking furious even over the bad connection.
"Oh, you know, just the usual; get my crew out of any Fed entanglements. I thought you, of all the ships I know, might appreciate that!" Dean snapped right back.
"How am I supposed to get my medic back?"
"What, you want us to keep little sister?"
"Hey now, that's our albatross you're talking about," Mal said, sounding irritated.
"Be that as it may, we both rabbited from Taggamort. Feds will be watching for both of us," Dean pointed out.
"So we head for one of the border moons, do a hand-off there."
"I don't know about you, Mal, but we blasted off with only half our fuel and cargo. And we have got a job on Deadwood and another on Chiron. If we get enough off those two, we can meet you on Whitefall in two weeks."
"Two weeks?!" Mal all but sputtered.
"I got a crew, and two more mouths, to feed." Oh, if looks could kill, Dean would be dead, dead, dead. He hadn't known Mal would get so bent out of shape over this.
"They better be in one piece. I know how you run your ship," Mal warned.
"Scout's honor," Dean said shortly, with a sharp gesture off-screen. Castiel discommed before Mal could launch another volley. Sam knew it pissed Dean off that Mal was right to threaten him. Despite the fact that the whole crew of the Impala could and did take up arms, Serenity was far more likely to be able to get past Alliance patrols. With their registered Companion and wealth of crew onboard with no outstanding criminal records, they could appear innocuous if they wanted to. But the Impala's mercenary reputation earned it a much harder look from anyone official. No one on his ship appeared innocent. If the Fed found both ships, they'd board Mal's but shoot Dean's out of the sky. And that just wouldn't make his day.
"Cas, let's get to Deadwood, quietly," Dean said. Castiel nodded solemnly and set a new course.
Simon was appalled at the state of the Impala's infirmary. He'd seen more modern amenities in the back alley chop-shops that had made Cortex news on a slow day. When Bobby had shown Simon into his "second office," being the resident sawbones, Simon had tried to keep a neutral expression. Mal had kept a better infirmary due to his military background. It looked like the Winchesters' crew spent their passion, and money, elsewhere on the ship.
"Mal speaks highly of you. Mind putting' yer talents to work while you're here?"
Simon nodded his head in assent, grateful he'd taken his bag with him to restock before he'd hopped into the wrong cargo bay. He didn't want to think about touching the motley collection of primitive-looking knives and unlabeled bottles of pills and powders.
"Don't worry, I got a few more things than whiskey and chewing gum," Bobby said with a faint smile. He unlocked a half-hidden cabinet with a much better selection of tools and medicine. "Gotta keep 'em locked up with all the apes around here. Too many hunters think they can sew their own guts back in."
Simon was startled into a laugh at the last comment. "Hunters? I thought you were mercenaries."
"The appellation is convenient, but their true title is more descriptive." River stood on tiptoe to look over Simon's shoulder, not at the supplies, but at Bobby.
Simon turned back to Bobby, getting concerned all over again. "What are you hunting that needs five of you?" Five of them, all heavily armed, with an armory Simon had passed by that was as big as Serenity's galley. Jayne would have been green with envy.
"A lot of nasty things most folks don't want to believe exist," Bobby said after a moment's thought and a hard look at both of them.
Simon went pale. "Reavers?"
Bobby shook his head violently. "We're not that stupid. Reavers don't have rules."
"And what you hunt does?" Simon asked.
"Salt and iron, sulfur and blood, silver and spell," River chanted softly. She looked over at Bobby sharply. "Anna told me."
"Anna did no such thing," Bobby said positively.
"She carried them in her coat. One of her ribs is broken, Simon, will you fix it?"
"Of course," he said automatically.
Bobby snorted. "Better you than me."
Bobby left, and River ducked out briefly, and returned all but towing the reluctant Anna. Though physically she didn't seem that imposing, Simon had lived on the same ship with Zoe for two years. He knew better than to underestimate anyone Zoe was impressed by. And Anna had really impressed her once.
"My brother will make you well," River said earnestly to Anna. "He's very clever. And properly terrified of making a mistake."
It was a sign of both Simon's filial love and physician's patience that he didn't even sigh.
He carefully manipulated Anna's rib back into place and wrapped her ribcage tightly to keep them aligned. She hadn't even winced at what had to be at least a sore procedure, and left him with barely more than a nod of acknowledgement. Simon just sighed quietly and began cleaning up.
Bobby came in a moment later, looking slightly shocked. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." He shook his head. "Anna's fought me tooth and nail before letting me treat her."
"Simon's learned on the most reluctant patients the 'verse has to offer. He's the best. Top three percent of his class," River said. Simon had to agree with her. Despite his promises to Jayne after Ariel, Jayne had to be drug into the infirmary, bleeding and semi-conscious, before he'd go to Simon on his own. Not to mention River herself wasn't exactly lining up to take her medicine all the time, even if she needed less of it nowadays.
"Well, hell, son, we could use you here," Bobby said. "I patch them up as best I can, but I never had proper schooling. Learned most of what I do from a couple of animal docs and a few war buddies."
"Your crew," Simon said slowly. "Do they need patching up often?"
"Like yer sister said, we're hunters. Most of what we hunt is smart, strong, most often with teeth and claws."
Simon desperately wanted to ask exactly what they'd gotten themselves into on this ship, but stopped himself. He worried that if he knew too much, Dean might make him stay. Every captain had secrets, and everything he knew pointed to the fact that the Winchesters had quite a lot.
"Anna and Castiel are a hell of a lot tougher than they look. Anna took that rib shot from a vampire that tried to rip her heart out," Bobby volunteered, just itching for Simon to ask questions, prodding at him.
Simon wasn't going to rise to the bait. The last time Serenity's crew had dealt in any way with the Impala, River had had screaming nightmares for three days straight.
"They destroy creatures of darkness, Simon. We can trust them," River said.
"What do you call Reavers, then?" Simon asked.
"Chaos," River said flatly.
"What she said. You think about what I said. We got a contract to clear out a wendigo tribe on Deadwood in two days, so if you'll excuse me, I need to go check the flamethrowers."
Bobby left, both Simon and River looking after him.
"We can trust them?" Simon asked.
"A very little," River amended.
It seemed Simon's successful treatment of Anna had gotten the attention of the redoubtable Captain Winchester. He'd never met the man face-to-face; the last time the Impala and Serenity had been at the same dock, Simon had been asked to stay on board, not that he'd needed much encouragement. He'd remembered Jiangyin, and nearly being burned at the stake, all too well to go exploring.
Simon had barely gotten cleaned up when Dean Winchester loomed in the doorway. Simon looked up, craning his neck a bit. While Dean's younger brother was ridiculously tall, topping Jayne by a head easily, Dean wasn't much shorter. Simon finished putting the bandages away before turning his attention to the captain; he'd learned not to back down in front of Mal.
"So, Bobby tells me you have a way with women."
Of all the things that Simon had been expecting to come out of Dean Winchester's mouth, that hadn't been among them.
"Ah, yes," Simon said slowly, with all the dignity he could muster. Dean grinned and took a step inside the infirmary.
"Mal ain't half mad that you ended up here, so you know."
"We didn't mean to impose-."
"You just had Alliance goons on your tail," Dean finished. Simon got a sinking feeling in his stomach. Mal already knew what he was getting into, sheltering the Tams, and while Dean didn't have a squeaky-clean record, he didn't deserve that same kind of heat involuntarily.
"Don't be sorry yet," Dean said. "You're gonna be stuck here a while."
Sam didn't wince when the outraged, "What?!" echoed through the cargo hold and corridors. Dean had the tact of a boot to the head sometimes. He was trying to be a little kinder in breaker the news to the younger Tam.
"Simon's frustration is understandable," River said, before Sam could open his mouth. "He's come to think of Serenity as home, a stabilizing influence on me. He fears I may backslide."
"Backslide?"
"Mental stability. You know."
Sam was both worried and a little embarrassed by River's knowing stare. Somehow she knew something he hadn't discussed with anyone but Dean. Granted Mal was closemouthed about his pet fugitives, and rightly so, but Sam had gotten the impression he thought River uncanny in a way that couldn't be easily explained. Face-to-face with her, Sam was put in mind of Pamela, but without the seer's earthy warmth. River was almost unworldly, but reachable. She didn't have Anna or Castiel's remote calm.
"What do you know?" Sam asked carefully.
"What you dream isn't what you mean to, not what's in your mind, but in others," she said, and touched his temple for a moment. "My dreams aren't often my own either."
Sam put his hand over her fingers and slowly pulled her hand away, closing his hand gently around hers. She did know, and wasn't afraid. Sam had caught Dean looking at him when he didn't think Sam was watching, worry in his eyes, but not her. And she knew more than Sam had ever managed to articulate to Dean.
He kept his hand around hers when he answered, "Ever afraid to sleep?"
"Sometimes." River squeezed his hand and pulled away. She looked over in the direction of the infirmary and picked up the thread of Sam's original conversation. "We can't meet up with Serenity for a while, to deflect suspicion. So Simon and I should make ourselves useful and keep out of the way," River said brightly, taking Sam's words out of his mouth.
"You already have," Sam said.
River smiled guilelessly. "I mustn't backslide, Sam. Nor should you."
He nodded solemnly. "Deal," he said, bowing his head briefly to seal the promise. Even if she were normal, trying to adjust to life on the Impala, albeit temporarily, could be hard. Actually, the fact that River wasn't normal was a plus in this situation.
He nodded his head at the corridor beyond the cargo hold. No time to start like the present. "Tour?"
River reached out and took his elbow as if she were a debutant at a fancy ball. "Of course," she said, as if they'd had a long-standing date.
Inexplicably blushing, Sam led River deeper into the ship.
"Two weeks?!" Simon said, finally managing to hold his temper.
"Shortest we can manage, and I'm not even sure I can hold that date. If one of our jobs goes on long, or Mal runs into trouble, could be longer."
Simon took a deep breath and let his frustration run out as he let it go. An old technique, but valuable even for a Core-trained doctor. Doubly so in this life. Simon's knew Mal's schedule was more guesswork than anything else, subject to the vagaries of engine repair status, route choice around Alliance patrols, state of anyplace they docked, and cash flow for fuel. Other Outer Rim captains were the same. The trains, as it were, almost never ran on time out here.
"You ok with that?" Dean asked, when Simon's silence stretched on.
"I'll have to be, won't I?" Simon said tightly, and winced internally at his bad manners. "Thanks for keeping us." Dean had been more than courteous in letting him and River stay on board. He could have dropped them on the nearest station or planet, handed them over to the Alliance, or even just shoved them out the airlock. Having two more people on board drawing on their air and food, not to mention drawing down more Alliance attention, wasn't a small thing.
"I'll help your crew as long as we're here," Simon added. Making the offer to the captain made it official. And it was the only way of repayment he had.
"Good, that makes us even." Dean hesitated before going on. "Bobby told you what we do?"
"A little," Simon said, not bothering to keep the skepticism out of his voice.
Dean grinned. "Think we're a bunch of crazies, don't you? Been out on the Rim too long, thinking every outlaw and hungry wolf looks like some sort of monster?"
"You're mercenaries," Simon said. "I saw the size of your arsenal. If people pay you to get rid of their problems, fine-."
"Doc, I know you ain't been out here that long, but you've seen how many people out here go armed. Aside from a few peaceful religious types, I don't think there's many who wouldn't be able to ward off a predator- human or animal. We go after what falls in between those definitions."
Simon gestured in acquiescence, not wanting to fight, no matter how mad he found Dean's beliefs. "You do what you have to. That's what Mal does."
"You believe in Reavers, but not wendigos?" Dean asked.
"Ok, one, I don't even know what a 'wendigo' is, and two, Reavers are people driven into insanity through chemical exposure. They're not some kind of Earth-That-Was legend," Simon said.
"Doesn't mean they can't still kill you," Dean said darkly.
"I'll believe it when I see it." Simon was a lot wiser in the ways of the 'verse than he had been since he left Osiris. Even Reavers left behind evidence; surely rumors of whatever Dean claimed to hunt would have crossed his ears at least once in three years.
"Pray you never have to," Dean said, and sighed. "Look, we keep the ship pretty safe and do our hunting away from her. But if someone tells you to get down, run away, or lock the door? You do it. You don't want to mess with the things we hunt.
"Right." Simon nodded instantly. He certainly wouldn't be risking putting himself into the line of fire… but he wasn't sure he could vouch for River. She'd become a lot more independent since Miranda. Simon wondered, with a pang, if there was any chance he could get a wave to Kaylee before they got out of communication range. It was just then he realized it was a little too quiet. "Where's River?"
Sam didn't quite understand when his tour of the ship had turned into a date. He'd barely gotten through a brief run-down of a few storerooms and gestured vaguely in the direction of the engine room when they'd gotten to the galley. Food had been laid out for anyone who cared to eat, and River had plied them both with plates and cups, settling them down like a couple at a restaurant.
"I didn't-," Sam began, trying to figure out how he'd ended up here.
"I know you didn't," River said serenely, and took a bite of the crispy noodles and vegetables on her plate. The Impala worked a lot of agro worlds, and food-barter was good a payout as any.
"Then…?"
"I want to know what we've gotten ourselves into. You hunt dangerous things, things few others believe in. But you're not weak, not been lied to about this. You have a good purpose."
Sam didn't quite know what to say to that.
"I fought and killed two dozen Reavers in hand-to-hand combat," she added casually, and speared a square of squash on her chopsticks with precision.
Sam's jaw dropped. "That was your ship? You sent out that recording?"
"We lost two of our crew," River said, nodding.
"I'm sorry," Sam said, mind going furiously. He was impressed – he would have thought the Alliance would have wiped out the people who'd upset the status quo so badly. With all the little fires that recording had stirred up, the Impala had been able to slip through the cracks a lot easier. But right on the heels of being impressed was a stab of fear. Nobody sane tangled with Reavers, nobody. Anyone that had fought them instead of running away had usually blown up the pursuing ship in any way they could. Anyone that could fight a Reaver hand-to-hand and come out on top was someone to be reckoned with. Someone that could fight and kill two dozen and not be scarred or maimed for life… that was a person you might want to avoid.
Except that you could almost say the same for any of the Impala's crew.
"What exactly are you going to hunt on Deadwood? Bobby said wendigos."
Sam pondered his usual reticence around hunting subjects. He also pondered that the young woman in front of him had killed Reavers and wasn't maimed or dead. He didn't even entertain the idea she was lying; you didn't lie about Reavers.
And River had said her dreams weren't her own. What he didn't tell her, she might find out the hard way. After all she must have been through, if it was anything like what had happened to him, she didn't need another hard lesson.
He started talking.
Simon found River in the galley, talking animatedly with Sam, both of them using their chopsticks for emphasis. Simon quietly sighed in relief; he'd been half-afraid things had gone very wrong. River didn't often talk with those outside the ship. He quashed his overprotective physician's instincts and got himself some food, sitting on the other side of the room to give them a little privacy. He kept stealing glances at the two, when he wasn't in silent raptures of joy over the fresh food. And after a few minutes, an entirely different and rather rusty set of protective instincts came to the fore.
He could remember the last time River had smiled that way at a boy, just a year or so before the academy. Simon had been deep in his residency, but he'd made sure to pass a wary eye over Trey, just enough to make the kid nervous. It hadn't gone any farther than that, but Simon had mentally put together the whole program. What he'd say before their first real date or dance, the speeches about not daring to break her heart; he'd been ready for that.
And honestly he'd thought he'd never have to use them after he'd gotten River out of the academy. Simon had privately doubted, somewhere in the place where he hid all his shameful thoughts, that she'd ever be whole enough to think about dating again. To discover that maybe, just possibly, he'd been wrong, made him both elated and terrified at the same time.
Simon reapplied himself to his food and kept his mouth shut. They'd just gotten on board, just met the crew, just barely started to fit in. It could be that those old instincts were off-base, or maybe that River wanted a little bit of privacy and conversation with someone who wasn't excruciatingly aware of all of her past problems. If so, Simon couldn't blame her a bit.

HCDF Founders — Joy & Jean Thomas
The HCDF ministry began with the Thomas family, which has lived in Fond-des-Blancs, Haiti since 1982. Jean was born in Gonaives, a town in central Haiti. His father was a noted Baptist pastor in the area. Jean attended Carver Bible College in Atlanta, Georgia and Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana. After seminary he taught at Carver for two years and then worked with John Perkins at Voice of Calvary Ministries in Jackson, Mississippi. This is where his passion for Christian community development began and grew. Joy grew up in Oregon and while in college at George Fox University, she volunteered for a summer at the Voice of Calvary. Eventually, Joy moved to Jackson to work full time with the Voice of Calvary. It was here that Joy and Jean met. They were married in 1981 and have three sons: Lemec (January 26, 1985), Jacques (September 5, 1987), and Josiah (February 21, 1991).
John Perkins developed three guiding principles for Christian community development, which HCDF adopted: Three Rs: Reconciliation, Relocation, and Redistribution. Jean and Joy's hearts have always been for ministry in Haiti and where they could put these three principles to work. In cooperation with Jean's brother, Paul, they selected Fond-des-Blancs as the area in Haiti which was best suited for an intensive effort at Christian community development. Contributing factors in the selection of Fond-des-Blancs were the great physical needs of the area combined with the cooperative spirit of the local people (a concept Jean Thomas refers to as "Haiti Freshness" — unspoiled by a dependency concept of living).

The Sea daffodil is a stunning flower which appears on beaches in late summer. It grows from a bulb. The leaves come out in winter and dry out before the flower appears. The plant is endangered because its natural habitat - sandy beaches - is developed for tourism.
There are some fascinating facts about Pancratium maritimum as well as botanical drawings here if you are interested.

Armed Forces Medical College
The Department of Dermatology, AFMC & CH(SC) provides inpatient and out-patient treatment to dermatological, sexually transmitted infections, leprosy and immune-surveillance (HIV/AIDS) cases of Pune garrison and referred cases of Southern Command. It is responsible for training of post graduates (MD/DDVL), undergraduates (MBBS) and paramedicals (nursing cadets, STAs & NAs). The formal establishment of the post graduate teaching, Dept of Dermatology and Venereology of Armed Forces Medical College and Command Hospital (Southern Command), Pune was in the year 1965 with Diploma in Dermatology and Venereology in Ward no 3 of Command Hospital (Southern Command), Pune. It was later shifted to one of the oldest garrison accommodation of 1826 vintage in the Pune Camp. Currently, Dermatology department is housed in the first floor in Block 1 of the new command hospital building. The civil OPD runs in the first floor of the civil OPD complex. The Department of Dermatology at AFMC was accommodated in 2010 in newly constructed building having requisite facilities behind the lecture hall complex next to Dhanvantari auditorium. At CH(SC), in addition to an 85 bedded Skin, STD & Leprosy Centre, the department also manages an Immunodeficiency Centre (IDC) within existing resources since 1992; including inpatient care, documentation and surveillance of HIV/AIDS persons registered at this Immunodeficiency centre.
Brig AS Sohi was instrumental in introducing a comprehensive MD programme incorporating Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, as no other university was offering a MD degree encompassing the three subjects. Over the years, more than a hundred Dermatologists have done their post-graduation from AFMC, which has been consistently ranked amongst the top Medical Colleges of the country. Over the years, the department has made remarkable progress under the guidance of various luminaries and stalwarts.
The present department of dermatology is doing pioneering work in the field of research activities. It has a fully functional dermatosurgery unit where procedures like vitiligo surgery, acne scar revision surgery and hair transplant is being regularly carried out. The department is also equipped with latest pigment removing lasers, fractional CO2 laser, Low level light therapy unit and a phototherapy unit.

Discussion in 'Photography' started by LondonDragon, 23 Apr 2008.
I have posted these elsewhere in the past. Comments always welcome.
Wow, he almost looks plastic! Lovely specimen Was he hard to care for or easy? What sort of things would he eat? I assume he'd munch on fish if given a chance?
I would feed it some vegetables, it liked peas quite a lot, also catfish pellets, proper crab/crayfish pellets, and I had lots of guppy/endlers breeding in that tank so I would often find it eating one or two It kept the population under control.
That's some crazy blue colouring on him! Never been very inclined to keep crayfish, but he certainly is a fine specimen.
Awesome crayfish, shame you had to return home.
Those pics are soo clear.
He looks like a fine specimen! How big was he when he was re-homed?
About 25cm without the Antenna.
Nice creature. I was always liking crayfish in the childhood. We had plenty in the river in Moldova where i was born.
Beautiful Pictures, colours are fantastic!


We woke up on January 1, 2018 and figured it was time to put together a new reel for our company. When we looked back at 2017 it felt like there was a national pervasive negativity that we needed to shake. And so as we filtered through our footage we kept a keen eye open for all the good advice that we had been given from our subjects. One of the best things about our work is the process of interviewing people who have been through tough experiences and have communicated to us the valuable lessons they have learned. It was with this that we turned to the open canvas of 2018.
1 in a series of 4 short films created on behalf of bike accessory brand Blackburn Designs. This film, about the art of bikefishing, follows cyclist Brian Ohlen down the Pacific Coast as he marries his passions of fly fishing and bikepacking.
Noah Maze's approach to yoga is both pragmatic and philosophical, which is what sets him apart in a crowded space and has led to his enormous following. Creating a video which captured his point of view about committment, practice, and adventure required a long period of listening and questioning before we even began to roll tape. But through this process we got to the heart of what Noah's brand of yoga is about and we became fans a long the way.
A short branded piece for Black Diamond Equipment that checks in with a group of local Puerto Rican climbers after their experience in the 2017 Category 5 hurricane, Maria. This short film was distributed digitally pulling in over 100,000 views on Facebook within the first three days of pushing it out online.
Coming To My Senses is our first feature length documentary, 100% self-produced. It premiered at Austin Film Festival in 2017, where it won the Hiscox Courage Audience Award. It was acquired for distribution by The Orchard, and is now available to stream on Netflix.
The film is about former motocross athlete Aaron Baker's 14 year recovery from a near fatal accident which rendered him a complete quadriplegic. It asks important questions about agency, motivation, and how our medical system is failing the disabled and chronically ill by not providing resources for them to reclaim mobility which is truly possible.
In 2012 we went down to Rio to create an independent short film about kids from Rio De Jainero's most notorious favella who were learning to climb in their backyard. 4 years later, client Black Diamond sent down their most accomplished athletes to elevate the program and inspire the kids to keep climbing. What came out of it was this short film.
One of Red Bull's more story-oriented pieces, this 7-minute road trip follows chef, restaurateur, and avid cyclist Justin Severino and his band of quirky buddies. Severino proves once-and-for-all that there is no need for compromise when it comes to biking tours and fine dining.
As longtime burners Dom and I had wanted for years to create some sort of film about Burning Man, it's just too visually rich not to be attracted to it as filmmakers. The opportunity came in 2016 when we received a commission through Outside Television to make a 10-minute film covering the Burning Man Ultra Marathon. Ultramarathon you say! Yes, in the middle of the dust, wind, searing heat, and hedonistic temptation that surrounds it over 200 people decide to run a 50K race. Clothing optional!
The film also toured the adventure film circuit playing at 5 Point Film Festival, DC Adventure Fest, Breckenridge Film Festival, Vancouver Mountain Film Festival, and many more. Winning Best Running Film at SHAFF film festival in the UK.
Red Bull had some big dreams for this project. Until they had decided to film Rafa's descent, the only people that had been on the center flake of the river were those in kayaks running the falls themselves. In order to get a film crew into position and on to the flake, it took whole extra team of rafters and paddlers who could ferry upstream. With all of their might they succeeded to get 8 crew members and their gear into various positions, only to spend the entire day filming in the rain.
Dominic cut his filmmaking teeth on this project. He acquired tandem bike and flew to the tippity top of Alaska alone, where he quickly realized his plan of finding strangers to ride on the back of his seat was going to be near impossible in an underpopulated area with hundreds of miles between towns. But he stuck with it and by the time he reached White Horse he had a few lucky (or unlucky?) companions take up his spare seat. When he reached the bottom of Argentina he had cycled over 20,000 miles with 270 new friends and run an additional 300 just to set up shots. Too bad neither the GoPro or the drone was yet invented when he undertook this journey in 2006-2008.
Out of that came an award-winning one hour film and then two-seasons of a television series in the US.
This video is a highlight real from the various journeys under the banner of Take A Seat and a few photos from these adventures as well.
To see more about these projects please visit www.takeaseat.org or email us through the contact form to request a copy of the original film.
Last summer we were commissioned by the non-profit organization The Elephant Project to make a documentary about the plight of Myanmar's former timber elephants. Elephants were traditionally used to haul timber. Forests have been logged to such a degree that even governments traditionally unsympathetic to environmental issues have taken note, changing laws surrounding logging. As a result, this has left 25,000+ related parties (5000 domesticated elephants, and many elephant owners) in search of new jobs and, in some cases, new homes.
This short film won film agency Mofilm's competition for a digital Reebok story that helped visually conceptualize the idea of focus through sport. It features slackliner David Kingston at one of his favorite haunts near Crestline, CA.
Riders of Destiny is Encompass Films second feature length documentary, which is currently in the works. It is co-produced in partnership with German production house 7T1 Media, with which we have worked as their North American production partner for programs airing on German public television sports network ZDF.
Riders of Destiny follow several child jockeys from the remote Indonesian Island of Sumbawa as they go through a season of racing horses. Child horse racing is a cultural pastime which is largely undertaken by an improverished class of rural families who's economic actions are severely limited. The film touches on aspects of class, education, child welfare and income inequality.
Red Bull Air Force swoopers Mike Swanson and Jeff Provenzano soar over the changing fall foliage of Vermont's Jay Peak. Mike and Jeff find themselves surrounded by the beauty of a New England autumn, staying young and adventurous in the process. This was another collaboration with Red Bull, and one which was as challenging as it was rewarding. Who knew the Jay Cloud, a weather phenomenon of its own right, would try to keep us down. With some willpower and a slight change of scenery, however, nothing could keep our swoopers out of the air.
A short documentary with Blackburn Design, Roll With It follows a group of unlikely traveling companions on a biking and overnight camping trip. The catch: they must fit all they can carry on their bikes. Each with a different skill level when it comes to cycling, they work together to uncover the joys of bike travel. Learn more about the film on the official movie site.
Rich Roll is the epitome of endurance and lifestyle change. When a near-heart attack made him look closer at his life, he changed everything from exercise regiment to his diet. Now he is vegan, and went from struggling to climb a flight of stairs to competing in Ultraman World Championships as well as other high-endurance competitions. This story, an installment for Outside TV's Dispatches series, takes a run alongside Rich and looks at motivation and its ultimate benefits.
One of the Timbuk2 Ambassador series that focuses on individuals combining love of city, love of bike, and love of craft. This episode follows 1990's DQM brand icon Dave Ortiz and his perspective on trying new things.
Louisiana's delta is home to a plethora of estuarine life, supporting a robust commercial fishing industry, fertile oil fields, millions of migrating waterfowl, and at the heart of it all the mighty Mississippi -- a navigation channel that allows the passage of goods worldwide. Under the surface however, it is the location of one of the greatest environmental threats the US faces today. Every hour a chunk the size of a football field is lost. Each year 25 square miles of land is gone forever, and without a mitigation strategy the marine economy, oil and gas, and even the citizens of New Orleans will be seeking refuge elsewhere in 50 years or so.
Kehu Butler Jr. comes from a generation of New Zealand surfers. At 15 years old, Kehu was a child prodigy, surfing from an early age. Now he is mastering his craft, armed with a love of the sea and an impressive collection of trophies. As one of the We travelled to New Zealand to tell a story of surfing, training, career, and family pride.


RELATING is simply being a light and building meaningful relationships with the community (those who are still outside of the kingdom of God).
We should always ask ourselves how can we relate to the community?
Do I know neighbors names?
Do I have actual people to pray for?
Is my ministry seeking ways to relate to the community?
REACHING the curious is inviting those we have built relationships with to something where they can meet other believers and be introduced to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
RALLYING the Committed is what we do with those who have come to faith and attend WBC. This is the process of inviting people into the 'Bulls Eye' of the three E's by being equipped.
We have been 'rallied' when we can clearly articulate where the three E's are specifically happening in our lives.

For a number of years, Cochise College has subscribed to Intelliboard, an analytics engine for our Moodle online learning management system. Intelliboard has a ton (that's a statistics term) of analytics available and I'm just now starting to look at some of the data to determine how we can leverage that for our decision-makers. As an example, here is a graph that shows the number of page hits on our Moodle system over a one-week period.
Note: the above graph indicates the number of page views ("hits") students make in class, not how many students accessed a class. We do not have 30,000 students attempting to sign in on Tuesday evening, but we do have a couple thousand who would be clicking around in their courses during that time.
As another graphic, here are the aggregate visits to the site by day and time.
Most instructors believe, I think, that students tend to work on classes on Sunday evening, and, of course, some do. However, these graphs make it clear that the most common times to work on classes are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon and evening. Perhaps that information would help inform instructors' decisions about when to make assignments due. For a class that has a "heavy" load, it may be reasonable to break up those assignments so some are due on Friday and some are due on Monday, encouraging students to work on them during the mid-week and again on weekends.

Roundup: Hands-on with Apple's new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR [Videos]
- Jun. 3rd 2019 5:42 pm PT
In addition to all of the software announcements made at WWDC 2019 today, Apple also unveiled its new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. Those in attendance at WWDC received a close up look at Apple's new pro-grade products.
The new Mac Pro features a completely redesigned body, harkening back to the cheese grater style machine that predated the 2013 trash can Mac Pro. The Mac Pro can be configured with powerful Xeon processors up to 28 cores, with 64 PCI express lanes. It provides 300W of power and features a modular and easily accessible internal design, as well as wheels and a handle.
"We designed Mac Pro for users who require a modular system with extreme performance, expansion and configurability. With its powerful Xeon processors, massive memory capacity, groundbreaking GPU architecture, PCIe expansion, Afterburner accelerator card and jaw-dropping design, the new Mac Pro is a monster that will enable pros to do their life's best work," said Phil Schiller
The Pro Display XDR features a 32-inch Retina 6K display with P3 wide and 10-but color, as well as a 1,000,000:1 contest ratio. It is available in a glossy finish as well as a new matte option called nano-texture. This features "glass etched at the nanometer level for low reflectivity and less glare."
Here's what Phil Schiller said about the Pro Display XDR:
"Pro Display XDR is the world's best pro display and the perfect companion to the all-new Mac Pro. With Retina 6K resolution, gorgeous color, extreme brightness and contrast ratio, and a highly functional design, Pro Display XDR delivers the most comprehensive set of features ever offered on any display at this price point."
The new Mac Pro will be available this fall starting at $5999 for an 8-core processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. Meanwhile, the Pro XDR Display will be available for $4999, while the nano-texture model will cost $5999. If you want the adjustable Pro Stand, that will run you another $1000.
Apple had the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR on display at WWDC 2019 today, and setup a Pro Studio showcasing the new technology in a real-world environment. Watch some of the first look videos below.

Viewpoint: Michigan has a growing lawsuit problem, with far-reaching impacts on citizens
Bob Dorigo Jones, guest writer
The most recent edition of a nationwide survey of the lawsuit climates in all 50 states has a sobering message for state officials: We're slipping.
According to a survey performed by the Harris Poll, Michigan is no longer ranked in the top half of states having a fair and reasonable legal system. Now ranked at just number 33, Michigan fell further in the rankings than all but five states from 2017 to 2019.
Lawsuits have been used for financial disputes ever since there have been lawsuits, but nowadays, they're often being used as a weapon to intimidate or to deflect responsibility by those guilty of misconduct or negligence. That happens in both the private and public sectors, and the Flint water crisis – the focus of so much attention in Lansing over the past five years – is a prime example.
The people of Michigan know this tragedy was perpetrated by local and state officials. And yet, four years after state prosecutors said they were going to pursue criminal investigations against the state and local officials who perpetrated the Flint water crisis, every charge has been dismissed without a single guilty plea.
Instead, the state continues to pursue frivolous lawsuits against private contractors (a judge recently dismissed the lion's share of the state's claims) while failing to make any progress against the officials who were directly responsible.
Citizens should wonder if state officials are trying to use these contractor lawsuits to deflect public attention away from their own mistakes in the Flint water situation.
The state department involved in that crisis is now being accused by Macomb County Public Works Administrator Candice Miller of bungling another investigation of pollution that caused green slime to ooze onto a Detroit highway.
More from LSJ opinion
Michigan is behind the curve, needs to enact voting by mail to improve turnout
A 'Clean Slate' for rehabilitated people means opportunity
Express care without touching during coronavirus pandemic and quarantine
Coronavirus concerns should not mean less government transparency
Critically, the state's approach has emboldened out-of-state trial lawyers who are now trying to score their own quick payday in the Flint water situation with no promise of true accountability.
Litigation has a far-reaching impact on our lives in many ways. How will it affect the availability of safe drinking water in Flint and other Michigan communities in the future? How will it affect the ability of the auto industry to develop autonomous vehicles? How will it affect the availability of medical care and life-saving prescription drugs?
These questions are crucial to the future of our state, and that's why our consumer watchdog group, Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, is coming back after disbanding several years ago. It's time to eliminate the burden that excessive litigation is placing on job providers, families and communities.
Bob Dorigo Jones is president of Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch.

National activist from South Azerbaijan visits Khudafarin bridge
04 December 2022 [16:12] - TODAY.AZ
On December 4, the national activist from South Azerbaijan, Head of "Gunaz TV" television channel Ahmad Obali visited Khudafarin bridge, a unique historical monument, Trend's Karabakh Bureau reports.
Ahmad Obali was informed about Jabrayil city, which was liberated as a result of the efforts of the Azerbaijani Army under the leadership of Supreme Commander-in-Chief President Ilham Aliyev during the 44-day Second Karabakh War. He was told about the Khudafarin bridge and the atrocities and crimes committed by Armenian armed forces in Azerbaijan's ancient lands.
Khudaferin bridges are unique monuments of Azerbaijani architecture due to their connection with historical events of world significance, beautiful landscapes, high architectural and engineering solutions, and other features. Historically, one of the bridges located on the Silk Road has 15 spans, and the other has 11 spans. The bridges, which are relics of the XII-XIII centuries, testify to the development of craftsmanship in Azerbaijan in the Middle Ages.
These lands, as well as other liberated areas, were ruined, houses were looted, and nature was destroyed during the years of occupation. Many historical and religious monuments were insulted by Armenians, mosques were used as stables for animals. The graves were also destroyed. Now, life in Eastern Zangazur is restored after the liberation, and Azerbaijan is implementing important projects here.

don't you wish they were?
the other day, a couple friends of mine took me to the mall for christmas shopping. being early in the morning and not wanting to be up at that time, coffee was the thing for all three of us. i would have been content to go to Tim Hortons but they wanted me to try another kind of coffee. the expensive kind. turns out i was paying too but thats ok. we get to the counter of this shop and i ask for regular coffee two cream and two sugar. right away i am labeled as a freak for being so plain. my response being that i dont need to bring a list when i order my coffee, the two of them then proceeded to order some double late espresso, al pacino, that you eat with spoon and need a cart to push to one of the little tables off to the side. oh and dont forget the candy cane sprinkles. hmmmm. in my innocence of the ways of the coffee world i then asked why my coffee was black when i asked for two and two. they educated me as to how to put the cream and sugar in myself. now for the tip. what tip? i asked. i have to give a tip and they make me put the cream and sugar in myself? so i go around to the side and they dont have creamers but open cartons of milk and cream. wow this is service. all to the tune of just under 10 bucks for 1 cup of coffee self serve and two cups of something that looked more like the special from Dairy Queen than caffine beverages.
i guess i just wasnt cut out to be high classed.
merry christmas. im off now to have a cup of no name coffee from Needs. sugar and canned milk. yum.
remember hearing this when you were a kid? you can do anything you put your mind to. what other cliches can we think of here? good things come to those who wait. things like this i tell my own kids from time to time. and i believe its true for them. and it will remain true until the time comes when they put their mind to a certain something and find no matter how hard they try, no matter what amount of energy and focus they put towards the thing they want to achieve, they find that one certain something to be unachievable.
which leads me back to myself. i have achieved things that i wanted to.they may not be the type of things others find important, and they may not have been the right thing, or good thing for myself, yet, nevertheless i did get what i wanted. i used to say to myself, i always get what i want one way or the other. im sure alot of us have said that to ourselves at certain points in life. just got the job you wanted. set your sights on a certain someone and got them too. really theres only those two things to achieve isnt there? something material or something emotional. i am not too concerned with material. there are very few material things that i am really attatched to. my guitar, a few books, some music. a couple pieces of clothing. if i wanted to im sure i could do much better for myself in that department. but the ambition for it is not there. as for the emotional, there is a few things there i have achieved also. so you set a goal for yourself and then you set out to achieve it. what causes you to want it is another thing totally. each goal more than likely has a different set of underlying factors that makes you desire something. so you set a goal for yourself and then you try to achieve it. now some might say this is a very selfish way of looking at things. especially when it comes to the emotional aspects. but im not saying for example that i regard all things this way. im just breaking it down into the simplest form that i can think of. so what happens when you do not get what you set out to get. another cliche. if at first you dont succeed, try try again. ok. and if you try try and even put one more try in there and you still dont get what you wanted, what then? never give up. isnt that a cliche too? so whats left in the end for a person who wants to look at things realistically? they give up. admit defeat. face the fact that there are some things that just will not happen no matter what you do. and that is a lonely place to be. at the end of a long day, when you want to sleep and cannot. when you wake up in the morning and not one thing from the day before has brought you any closer to where you wanted to be. the sound of defeat, is laying in bed at night, in the dark, with nothing but the sound of your heart beating in your chest and the thoughts in your head repeating over and over empty words of consolation. you tried. you did your best. there was nothing else you could have done. and finally you give in to them and agree, just so you can have the peace of a fitfull sleep for a few hours. once upon a time, i would have crawled into a bottle and not come out for days. those days are thankfully past for me. i like to think writing about it is a bit more constructive. and i find that i have written more than i thought i would. maybe later on, in a few days or weeks ill write a poem about defeat. but, right now there are no words to describe it properly. its late and i have to get up early this morning.
look on the bright side. hehe. cliches. well, i have found that i can write in another form besides poetry. and i think i needed to. now it will be here for me to look at in the real world. to remind me of what i know that is real and true.
like i said, i have to go to bed. its late. i think ill listen to my heart beat for awhile and then fall asleep.
And regret that a memory is all I am.
