Rubens Vieira Marques (Vieira) and Rubião Vieira (Vieirinha) were two brothers from Itajubi, state of São Paulo, that formed one of the most traditional duo of brazilian caipira music of their time. Singing and playing viola since their childhood in the late-30's and the 40's, the duo was discovered by Tonico & Tinoco, that invited the two brothers to play with them in local cinemas.
After some years playing in local festivities, radio stations and bazaars, Vieira & Vieirinha went to São Paulo in 1951, searching for an opportunity at Rádio Nacional, the most popular radio station from São Paulo at the time. There, they hosted the program 'Sertão na Cidade'. They also appeared for some years in the program 'Alma da Terra', from the famous Rádio Tupi.
Vieira & Vieirinha released their first album (78 rpm) in 1963 ('O Canoeiro Não Morreu' / 'Nova Londrina'), and since them the duo release almost 35 LPs. Their musical journey only ceased with Vieirinha's death in 1991. After some time away from the musical scene, Vieira started recording and performing with his son, forming with him the duo 'Vieira & Vieira Jr.'. Vieira died in 2001.
Vieira & Vieirinha were mostly known for their performances and recordings of catira, a sort of brazilian tradicional dance in which the performers clap hands and stomp their feet on a wood plataform, generating a percussion effect that is accompanied by viola variations.

Owen Parker, who has died aged 76, was best known as sailing master for former prime minister Edward Heath aboard the series of ocean-racing yachts named Morning Cloud which, during the 1960s and 70s, raced in major sailing competitions, including the Admiral's Cup. A winner of three consecutive Round the Island races, Parker competed all over the world, but the Solent was his own particular playground, where his personal knowledge was said to be worth a minute in every race. He was the last of his calling - a paid hand who raced aboard other peoples' yachts, and who bridged the social divide between amateurs and professionals that existed when he began sailing.
Born in Southampton, the son of a shipwright, Parker spent most of his life afloat. He left school at 14 and was hired as a deckhand aboard a 96ft ketch, Leander, owned by Air Commodore Howard-Williams. His early experience included the ritual of rising at dawn, scrubbing decks, chamois-leathering the varnish and polishing the brass before going below for breakfast. When he first started, he was not allowed into yacht clubs because he was paid to race. They were places where the amateur code was held inviolate. He did nothing to upset the order - it happened without his influence, but he was always grateful of the change.
In such circumstances, Parker developed his signature attitude, one of calculated deference. He always addressed yacht owners as "Mr" and when offering advice, invariably added "sir" or "skipper".
In 1960 he accepted an offer to join Lewmar Marine, a new company producing paints for boats, and quickly moved on to work for its sales agent, Montague Smith, who were the first to develop a polyurethane varnish for sea-going vessels that did not require two components to be mixed. Parker told how he applied this new varnish to a boat being built in a boatyard at Hamble, Southampton. After haggling over union rules, he became the object of derision from the yard's workers when the varnish collected in runs on the boat's sides. It took him a week to make it good, a fact the men never let him forget.
Parker first joined the Morning Cloud crew on its journey to Australia in December 1969. This was the vessel that won the 635-mile Sydney-Hobart race and was the first of the five boats to carry the name. On arrival in Hobart, after the 34-foot yacht was declared the overall winner, an invitation was delivered to the leader of the opposition, as Heath then was, to dine at Government House. Heath replied: "There are six of us you know," and the whole crew attended the dinner. Parker remembered that the only crew member whose luggage had not arrived by air was the skipper, and while five were besuited, Heath dined in his sailing trousers and sweater.
Parker's memoirs, Tack Now, Skipper, published in 1980, contained none of the many hilarious anecdotes of their relationship afloat, as Heath was still alive, but fellow crewmen had been spinning these yarns for years. Perhaps the most famous was of when Parker instructed Heath to "bear away" - turn the boat away from the wind. Heath luffed, turning into the wind. Parker, coolly but firmly, said: "Bear away the other way, sir." Parker would also put his foot unobtrusively on the bottom of Morning Cloud's wheel to steady the boat's course as the "guvnor" waved to other sailors on the way up the Hamble river after racing. There was always some doubt as to whether they were waving at the then prime minister or Parker, who knew everyone that mattered in sailing on the south coast.
Parker's first marriage ended in divorce. He is survived by his second wife, Christine, a son and daughter by his first marriage and a son and two daughters from his second.
· Ronald Cecil Maurice Victor "Owen" Parker, sailor, born May 19 1932; died July 9 2008

Authenticity is the Key to Confident Parenting, with Aaron Kennard – RFL022
Authenticity is the Key to Confident Parenting – Episode Overview
There is a great quote – "Be an amazing original not an average copy." Most of us want to parent like others. We check in with what they do, then we act out their script in our situation, with our kids. The results are never what we expect – how could they be when we use others' solutions in our situations? What we really need is to be real, true and authentic – then to bring that person to every aspect of our parenting relationship. We then show up in the moment, with this kid, in this situation – and trust we can make a good decision. See, when you are in tune with who you are, you will trust yourself in all of your decisions – including your parenting decisions.
Attention and Intention
This week, my attention is on great parenting. My intention is to help you see that you have all the right stuff to be a great parent when you tune in and be who we really are. When you come from your truest self, you have access to amazing wisdom. You have just been told that others know more than you, so you follow them. Today, learn to trust and be confident in you – after all, you are truly amazing.
Meet our guest Aaron Kennard
Aaron Kennard is an author, speaker, blogger, podcaster and founder of Truly Amazing Life. He challenges people not to accept mediocrity, the status quo and the belief that good is good enough. Follow his 12 steps – a roadmap – for a Truly Amazing Life of how to tap into your greatness and improve the quality of each day.

Episode's Key TakeAWays
- Remembering who you are is the key to helping you show up as your greatest self – to you, your parenting, your relationships and your world.
- Make time for yourself – to discover what is different, unique and amazing about you. Our answers about ourselves are on our inside, not on the outside. We will need to tune out to tune in – tune out to the loud voices that control our thinking and directions to tune in to our own sense of who we really are.
- As we learn how to spend time discovering and remembering who we are, we show up more authentically – more aware of what makes us an amazing original. From this place we are better able to connect with our kids and then guide them to do this same work for themselves. And knowing ourselves, as some cultures share, is the greatest work that each of us have to do in our lifetimes.
- Many times a traumatic or challenging life event is what gets our attention and shifts out of our auto-pilot lives, into lives of intention, authenticity and purpose. How can we connect to lives of intention, authenticity and purpose without needing the trauma or challenge to bring us there?
- When you are in tune with who you are, you have access to your greatest wisdom which helps you have greater confidence in your responses to all situations – particularly parenting.
Some question for parents:
- How are you aware of what is best in you, and that you access this in the way you live your life and parent your kids?
- How are you being authentic and inauthentic – can you notice the difference and see how each makes you feel?
- How are you helping your kids learn how to see what is unique and amazing in them – so they can be confident in themselves as they approach each day?
- In what ways are you living a truly amazing life?

Barack in the U.S.S.A.
ALT. TITLE: A Maverick, a Hockey-Mom, a Jackass and the Messiah walk into a bar…
Ah, here we stand on the precipice of history. Either we get our first female Vice President, who sadly John McCain cannot even raise the roof for, or Barack H. Obama becomes the first President of the U.S.S.A. (for the slower of you out there, that's the United Socialist States of America), thus robbing the olde United States of its first black President.
I never thought I would say this, but I truly hope Obama is a greedy, corrupt, say whatever it takes to get elected politician. But my biggest fear is that he is not; that he is actually sincere. He hasn't apologized for his socialist rhetoric, and thanks to the national media he's never had to. He may actually be the first candidate who ran on a platform of CHANGE who actually meant it.
In 2004, I had gotten to a point of utter frustration with the Kerry/Edwards supporters, that I almost wished he had gotten elected so his supporters would get exactly what they deserved. I am almost at that point now.
If he does indeed get elected, (and believe me I am not naive enough to believe that one man will be able to effect the wholesale change that he preaches, but he will get alot of help from the Congress) I am as eager to write my blog Are You Happy Now, Assholes? as you will be to read it sometime next year.
To demonstrate that I am not simply looking at things with my Red State Glasses on, I do have to say that Obama'a camp did a far better job of running his campaign than McCain's did with his. Barack has come off more presidential than McCain especially at the end. I mean, who thought it would be a good idea for Johnny Mac to go on SNL and appear with Tina Fey and make jokes about losing? But, after all of that, if McCain does win, the feeling that will warm my heart watching the look of disbelief on Obama's arrogant face will rival the feelings I had when my three children were born.

Welcome to another edition of the Emerging Writer Interview Series! I'd like you to meet Meaghan Rauscher, a lovely lady who has a talent for bringing out the child in all of us and tantalising our imaginations with her tales of mermaids. I downloaded meaghan's book a while ago so that I could relive my Little Mermaid Fantasties and I will be sure to put a review about it when exams finish.
Why don't you first tell us a little about yourself?
Where should I start? I guess I'll begin with family, because if there's anything I treasure in my life it's my family. I grew up, and still live, in Augusta, GA with my family. I am one of seven kids and have enjoyed the benefits of a big family atmosphere. When I was eight years old, I started to swim on a year-around club team and spent the next twelve years of my life in the pool, or so it seemed. I spent two of those years at East Carolina University where I swam on the varsity team, until I decided to transfer. Last May, I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in English and last fall I spent six months down in Orlando, Florida working for the Walt Disney Company. Now enough about my life, let's talk about writing!
Did you always possess a passion for writing? When did you have the epiphany that you actually wanted to write a book?
That's a really tough question. Unlike some writers, I can't pinpoint an exact moment where I had this amazing idea to write a book. More than anything, I think my passion for writing has come from my love of storytelling! When I was little, I shared a room with two of my sisters, and we did everything together. From Barbie's to baby dolls, we always played together and I think it was during those times I found out I had the ability to make up stories. As I got older, I took some writing classes and fell in love with it! It was so fascinating to create something out of nothing and have readers enjoy it! I do remember when I was about fourteen years old, my dad had me write down the goals I wanted to accomplish in life on a little index card. The first goal had to do with swimming (my obsession at the time), but on the second line I wrote: "Write and publish a book". That was the first time I had ever written the idea down and around two years later, I began the first draft of DROPLETS.
What is it about the fantasy genre that draws you to it?
I think it's the endless possibility which I find so exciting! With fantasy, you can do whatever you want in a story. There are worlds you can set up with different rules, such as people who can fly, or in my case merfolk who also walk on land. There is something about the genre that's fantastic in its ability to transport a reader into a world they have never seen before. But there is also a challenge in writing fantasy that I love as well! With fantasy, you get the chance to create something new but you also have to make it real, real enough that your readers not only comprehend the world you're describing, but see it.
There was a quote from Stephenie Meyer, which I read years ago, that I loved. When she was asked why her vampires were so different, she responded saying she could do whatever she wanted with them because they're mythical. That quote really affected me, and it was a driving factor in the creation of the merfolk world my characters live in. To say the least, these aren't your typical mermaids and mermen.
Do you have any advice for aspiring writers that are struggling getting their book noticed?
First, you must know all writers go through this, I'm still going through it, so it's normal to feel overwhelmed by the millions of books out there. One of the biggest things I have found to be helpful is social media. After I self-published DROPLETS, I felt as though it was lost in the Amazon database where no one could find it. Now, through the help of some really great friends, I have begun to create a fanbase which is really quite exciting! So my tip here would be to use social media as wonderful tool to get some notice!
My other tip, and I learned this one the hard way, is get a cover which attracts a person's attention. When DROPLETS was first published, the cover was very simple and poorly made. This year I decided to purchase a new cover and released a second edition on Amazon which has resulted in tripling my sales in the last two months!
DROPLETS is set in Coveside, Maine where seventeen year old, Lissie Darrow lives with her family. One night, when Lissie is out on the deck of a boat singing to herself, she hears a murmur reach out over the water and when she goes to look, a splash reaches her ears. The following evening, she is swept overboard in the grips of a horrific storm only to be saved by a mysterious merman who returns her to her family, but not without a price. The merman transforms her into a mermaid, with the ability to both sprout fins and walk on land; she now finds herself a captive of the dark merman and flees into the night. When she ends up, exhausted, on an island and meets the mysterious and handsome Patrick, she thinks she has escaped the merfolk world. But as events begin to unfold, Lissie realizes that meeting the dark merman wasn't just a mere twist of fate. And the closer she gets to Patrick, the more she learns that Patrick's past is entangled with her own future.
Where did the inspiration for this come from?
Oh, this is tough to answer and I have been asked this many times. I know one of the main inspirations came from my childhood. As I said, I was a swimmer and as a child, I loved being in the water. Most days I would pretend I was mermaid, so that's where the idea for a story about mermaids came from. As for the rest of the story, I remember my younger siblings were watching Disney's The Little Mermaid and I wondered how the story would be different if Ariel could have walked on land. From there, the idea of merfolk being able to sprout fins and walk on land became the foundation for my story. I then decided to create a character who was unwilling transformed into a mermaid and making these creatures different from the ones you read about in myths.
How did you keep motivated to write during high school?
Honestly? Writing was what kept me relaxed and sane through the years of high school. One of the greatest benefits was that I was home schooled, and was able to get my school work done earlier in the day than had I gone to public school. More than that, were the swim practices. There were many times during the two to three hour practices that I spent my time thinking about writing and actually, most of the plot for DROPLETS was written inside my head while I was swimming. Usually, after I was done with practice, I would rush home to tell my younger sister, Lauren, who has been my go-to critic since the beginning, and the next day I would flesh it out on paper. So to answer your question, I mainly stayed motivated because I loved it! It was something which made me excited and in a sense it was similar to reading a book. As I wrote, I couldn't wait to see where it would end.
How did you go about writing your book? What is your planning process (if you have one)
As I mentioned, my sister is one of the biggest tools in my writing process. Sometimes we go to lunch or on a walk and I simply talk about the book. She is a great listener and contributes here and there, but more than anything I have found this process to be helpful in getting my creative side into full-throttle. Usually after one of these meetings I am ready to sit down and write as much as possible before the day is done. My next step, after speaking everything out loud, is to write down the major points which need to take place in the plot. Typically there are only about ten of these when I start, but as I go along, there can upwards of a hundred. In a sense they become the chapters broken down into little pieces.
The only other important part of my process is that I really have to "see" a scene before I can write it. Often times, when I get stuck in the middle of a part or in between chapters, I listen to instrumental music and it helps to get the story moving. In particular, I listen to movie soundtracks and I typically listen to them in the background while I sit down to write.
Your main character goes through some really trying times. How do you make her reactions to her circumstances realistic?
Great question, this is something that comes from personal experience and through reading. Some of Lissie's reactions are simply my own response when things happened to me, but accentuated. Other times, she goes through things I have never experienced and this is when being a well-read writer is important. If there is anything I love as much as writing, it's reading. I think by reading so much, I have picked up important aspects that make a character's reaction human and realistic, but it's not always an easy thing to do.
You have created an intense love between Lissie and Patrick. How do you create a spark between your characters that comes off the page?
Again, this is something that comes down to being an avid reader of the young adult fantasy genre. There are many things about Lissie and Patrick's relationship which are influenced by other books, but I think a lot of their differences come from the situations they go through. This is not a typical romance and the trials they face intensify the emotions between them. Whenever you see the vulnerable side of a person, you feel closer to them, I used that idea to create a deep relationship between both characters which I hope my readers enjoy as much as I do!
At first, it was really hard. I found it difficult to even send my work out to someone I didn't know, and to then have it denied over and over again was very demeaning. In some way it made me think they hated my work, but as time passed I had a few agents who held onto my book until turning it down in a second round. Although those ended up as disappointments too, I soon realized what they really meant; my work wasn't bad, it just wasn't specifically what they were looking for.
I would say, to aspiring writers, that the most important thing you can do is write what you want. Sometimes when I got a denial from my queries, I felt I should tweak the story so it would fall into a more definite genre, but now I see how wrong this would have been. More than anything else, keep true to your story, but don't forget to learn from each disappointment.
What was the trigger that finally made you self publish Droplets?
This is a rather embarrassing question because it has to do with my pride. As I was busy querying, and hating the process, I had several people mention self-publishing to me. I nodded my head, but I was really thinking "Yeah, right. I'm going to do this the real way". Two years later, and not having gotten any farther, I finally decided to look into self publishing and was hooked! I have found self-publishing to be a really great route to take.
What benefits have you experienced in doing it this way instead of the traditional route?
Keep in mind that I haven't published a book the traditional way, but I think one of the best parts of self-publishing is that you get the opportunity to reach out to readers on your own. At times it can be time consuming, but it's worth it! I have met people through social media and gotten to know them as people rather than just their book review. I would think publishing the traditional way gives you a greater separation from you and your readers, where as I have found that I get to know them on a more personal level.
You are currently writing the second book of the Droplets series due to its success, congratulations! Can you hint for your readers where the story might be going?
Yes! I am very excited about the second installment, RIPPLES, which will be coming out next month! If you have read DROPLETS, you know the story was left at a bit of a cliff-hanger. All I can say is this problem will be resolved early on in the book. However, there will be even larger trials for Lissie to go through. All the suspense, drama, and action of the first book will be back again and this time it will be even bigger! And can I tell you a secret? In my personal opinion, I love this book even more than the first!
Thank you Meaghan, this has been a great interview! You really bring my childhood dreams to life and to be honest every time I went to the beach I scouted for mermaids (and I still do haha). I wish you the best of luck in publishing the next instalment of Droplets and I will eagerly be anticipating its release. So get cracking on that draft!
Thank you so much for taking the time to interview me!

That's termed the money line bet. There's a difference between the two alternatives though. If you decide to bet about the favorite, you should bet significantly more than you stand to earn. The reason for that is you're taking away the purpose spread and rendering it better to get the bet. If on the other hand, you determine to select the underdog, you are expressing the underdog will probably gain the game not merely address the spread. In this case, you stay to get significantly more than you bet.
If you've never inserted a bet on either of these gatherings, currently could be the period to do this. Nevertheless, betting on horseracing could look daunting, and conjures pictures of men who'ven't changed their garments since the 1970s position in lengthy lists in grubby interior-city betting shops.
Sports betting is just putting a gamle on a sporting event. You're betting that your team, mount, dog, or driver may gain. Whenever they do get, so can you! When they lose, you lose your bet amount. Sports betting takes place all over the world, though inside the Usa this kind of betting isn't as highly accepted because it is in Europe.
Be reliable. Bet exactly the same volume on each game. Some participants bet $200 on games they assume are locks and $100 on types they truly are not so certain of. It's those not so sure of bets that holder up the cutbacks. If you're uncertain of a game, do not bet it. We have included a few basic things about click here, and they are important to consider in your research. There is a tremendous amount you truly should take the time to find out about. Nonetheless, you will find them to be of great utility in your search for information. Once your understanding is more complete, then you will feel more confident about the subject. Continue reading because you do not want to miss these critical knowledge items.
With exchange betting the odds are not established with a third-party or middle-man; they are fixed by the guessrs themselves, who spot demands for possibilities at which they are willing to place bets (whenever they wish to become a regular guessr), or position offers of possibilities at which they're prepared to set bets (whenever they need to act as a bookie).
While the national quest horseracing season proceeding towards its climax using the Cheltenham Festival in March followed by the Great National in May, interest in two of Britain's largest and many popular betting functions is about to attain fever pitch.
The 'fectas': The trifecta and sueprfecta are essentially extensions of putting bets on a champion. Nevertheless, these bets up the ante by needing guessrs to properly anticipate the finishing order of the race. In the event of the trifecta this implies correctly predicting roles someone to three, whilst the superfecta requires guessing the final standings from first to fourth-place.
The battle card isn't employed in order to select the horse with all the best looking stats. Rather it is used-to fit a horse to a given contest or course, using sort and new trends within the race to choose which athlete gets the best prospects. This implies it is typically useful exploring contest tendencies aswell, including age, sx and type information regarding previous race-winners.
Position your bets delayed within the week. By waiting until the end of the week, you may learn about any accidents to key participants that might affect how you bet. Occasionally, participants are injured or intensify an injury used. Or what felt just like a slight injury on Wednesday might come out to become the one that will keep the player out from the game. Additionally, climate conditions might affect your bet. Inclement weather often maintains the rating down.
By selecting football as your chosen hobby for betting, you've previously granted oneself an "border" against people who bet on or supply odds on other sports. To make use of this "side" to create money regularly, nevertheless, you'll need to understand two fundamental concepts first. Then implement the power of math.
Knowing that notion, the rest will start to fall under position. You will have a benefit over many players.
In case you bet about the house team? Generally no. Nevertheless, if you're able to be objective, you've an advantage. You almost certainly learn more about your house team than those in the rest of the country because the regional media allows comprehensive protection for the property group, coverage that is not distributed to the others of the country.

it just might be, your system has really been good
how would you play it, front split or back? or all three?
Not sure Jr. If I played it I would play it 99 and the 2 also 99 and the 3 992 993 . $2 bucks. No guarantee though. Don't know what I will play yet. Here is a list for tonight and tomorrow Mid draws: 60 63 67 68 69 80 83 87 88 89 3rd # 6 or 7 Doubles from this list show 606 636 676 677 686 696 886 I will have to keep the previous list in mind thoug the way it has been going.
Good Luck,
Just got back from VA...I tried to play 1111 and 7777.... sold out.
Also cashier said they sold a $20-1 million dollar scratcher over the weekend.
congrats to the winner
WOW, What store and town
If OBAMA'S The ANSWER
How STUPID was the QUESTION?
Peoples in Ridgeway, Va .
'evre da...7777
20 Draws now.
Wish I had that kind of luck, Well I may tonight in the Raffle
Ok so today I played 289 and 140. VA today is O93….The ironic thing is if you add +1 to 289 you get 390 and if you subtract -1 for the 140 you get 039…..This has happened to me in the past. What GIVES!!!!!
If I would only remember to add one and subtract one from the number I am really feeling....Today I was feeling the 289 but never thought to add 1 and subtract 1 and then play that number as well.......
I said it before and I will lament yet again, this is the first time I have not had one WIN all month...Since joining LP I have been so enamored with the various systems and just all of the place, I have abandoned some of my "tried & true" workouts....
***Blackie you are really on to something, what exactly are you using to arrive at the "pairs"? Not sure if you mentioned it in this thread. If you did, kindly redirect me...
Happy Winnings ALL!!!
Last year Jan 01 had triples 1s, I'm thinking that to night drawing being so close to New Year we may see triples 9s. Hmmmmmm Sounds good to me
Ooooooh yea...I got one also
Thanks LoveHappiness, I hope I am onto something but in the few years I have been putting numbers on here and as everyone here knows, you find a "method" that works for a while then everything changes and you have to do tests to find another "method" until that fizzles out. I have been using pairs for quite a while now and it does OK for me. One thing though is I have had to change the way I find them many times so what I may say will work today may change tomorrow. Here is one way I used to find them for anyone that hasn't seen this yet: Say you use 093 A TTT would be : 065 794 893 Numbers missing are 1 or 2 Pairs would be : 61 62 51 52 41 42 65 64 54 they came from the 6 on top and two missing #'s the 5 on top and two missing and the 4 on the right and two missing. then the 65 on top, 64 on top and right, and 54 top and right. the missing numbers from that pairs list would be 0 3 7 8 or 9 That would be the 3rd #. I'm testing another way so it is not the same right now but what I just wrote helped me alot in the past. Good Luck !!!
There it is boxed 90 pair and the 3rd # 3
Congratulations Blackie!
You are doing well with your tests.
I think I need to compare #s from the posters and take it from there.
Hang in there, we will get some hits tonight.
Tomorrow is a new day and a new year.
Thanks Increase. HAPPY NEW YEAR all!!!!!
Still testing 50 51 40 41 30 31 54 53 43 3rd # 5 or 6
Congratulations to all winners!
Happy New Year!

Sept 20, 2013: The Artists of Xultun: Recent Discoveries of Maya Mural Paintings
Available for download as audio (.mp3, 48.5MB) or video (.m4v, 269.3MB).
Question and Answer Session
Available for download as audio (.mp3, 6.0MB) or video (.m4v, 31.7MB).
Heather Hurst, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Skidmore College.
Lecture: The Artists of Xultun: Recent Discoveries of Maya Mural Paintings.
Friday, September 20, 7:30 PM, 112 Anderson Center, Hamline University,St. Paul, MN.
Cost = $5 (Maya Society members, students, Science Museum staff and volunteers free).
Workshop: Maya Mural Painting Workshop: The Bonampak and San Bartolo Murals.
Saturday, September, 21, 9:00 AM-12:00 PM, 304 Anderson Center, Hamline University, St. Paul, MN.
Cost = $10 (students free).
Dr. Hurst will discuss newly found ancient Maya mural paintings from Xultun, Guatemala. These 9th century paintings, contemporary with the well-known Bonampak murals, are unique in their content and their location. The lecture will summarize the recent work to excavate, analyze and conserve these murals, as well as discuss the role of the artist-scribe in Classic period Maya culture.
This workshop will examine the iconography of the San Bartolo and Bonampak murals. The first goal of the workshop is to train your eye to the study of symbols and themes in Mesoamerican art. Second, we will consider how the meaning of the artworks deepens the archaeologists' ability to studying past societies and events – what information does the artwork convey about the people who made it, viewed it, used it?
Questions? Contact the Maya Society at email@example.com or 612-625-8606 (Phyllis Messenger, IAS).

U.S. Unemployment Now Lasts Longer Than Benefits: Chart of Day
For the first time, the average amount of time it takes fired employees to find a new job exceeds the length of their standard unemployment benefits.
The CHART OF THE DAY shows the average duration of unemployment is now 26.2 weeks, longer than the 26 weeks of state benefits normally provided to workers who lose their jobs. It's the first time that has occurred since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began keeping records in 1948.

|Ghost Files: A Sign
|The crews of the Haste and Teamhair are given a message.
|Jantine Leodhais Alandra Ruin Volouscheur Aleksei Rillitan Gennadiy
|Air Date:
Ungstir Landing Pad <Resilience: Ungstir>
- Rough hewn walls of iron and basalt, grooved by machinery used to carve this spaceport facility out of the glinting black and gray rock, rise on all sides and arches above of the broad pad that provides ample room for starships to rest during their stay on Ungstir.
- Bright sulfurous lights seem to cast the chamber in permanent daylight despite the gloomy darkness and stars that loom beyond the huge portals, protected by the hazy shimmer of the prot's atmospheric containment fields. Through the force screens, silhouetted by the glow of the distant star Perseverance, one can make out the rolling, drifting shapes of rocks and planetoids - remnants of the world to which this chunk once belonged.
- Squat, dark-haired technicians with pale skin and gruff demeanors move from ship to ship, checking fuel levels and mechanical fitness of the vessels. An archway leads out of the landing facility and into the city of Resilience, via the customs station.
- Several large bays are set aside for ship maintenance and repair, serving as a general purpose drydock facility.
- You can hail a Transport Rockhopper from this location. Type +hopper/hail.
Jantine is seated on the Haste's ramp, legs dangling over the edge.
'Skully' walks down the recently opened ramp of the IND Old Daisy, kicking a flattened can out onto the landing pad before walking over towards it. Today shows a choice of colour, having decided to wear a red skullcap. Wow.
Jantine doesn't seem to notice 'Skully' yet, just sitting on the Haste's ramp and looking off into space. There's a slight smile on his face.
Aleksei the 'Fox' isn't so foxlike, as he doesn't notice 'Skully' either. He's rather busy looking over the faux with a frown on his face.
Rillitan heads over and leans down to pick up the can, after noting Aleksei patrolling the area. No trouble here, honest. He pulls himself back up to full height and heads over to one of the pad officials.
Jantine just keeps looking off into space, the slight smile not leaving his face as he rocks his legs back and forth a little, over the edge of the ramp.
Aleksei now mutters to himself: "The Faux..the *hooping* Faux! That's all I need nov. Now I got to wonder what they're smuggling here *this* time. Ah well." Al gives a small sigh.
"Hey." Rillitan nods to a short man with a clipboard, "You part of a mechanic crew?"
Ruin steps out of the airlock of the Teamhair, absently binding his hair with a loop of dark green jade beads. "Residence or not I am glad to be off that planet," he says.
Jantine is seated on the Haste's ramp, just looking off into space. He's got a slight smile on his face, dangling his feet over the edge of the ramp. Rill is approaching some pad officials, while Aleksei is looking at the Faux.
Leodhais follows Ruin out of the airlock a few seconds later, running his fingers through his hair absently. "Mmm," is his erudite response.
Aleksei is standing near the Faux, now sneering at it and also occasionally muttering things about it's crew..nothing good. "What stuff are they smuggling now..Hope I get to search it.", just as an example of what he mutters.
Volouscheur walks off one of the shuttles, carrying a basket. She looks around, aura glowing pale green-gold.
"Am not commecial." the Ungstiri replys to Rillitan with an impatient look.
The Timonae grunts, cocking his head down to give an unimpressed expression back, "Fine." he manages, lightly throwing the buckled can down towards the Ungstiri. He turns around and shakes his head as it lands on the clipboard, a splash of brownish liquid jumping over the dockworkers hand. for action
Ruin heads down the ramp, looking around. "Hey, Scheur," he calls, waving. "Hope you missed the bloodshed - was hoping to see you at the festival until it all went wrong."
Jantine looks over from his position on the Haste's ramp, waving towards Ruin, Leodh, and then Scheur at the sound of voices "Hey." he says simply, the slight smile still not leaving his face.
Leodhais frowns at the mention of the festival, but other than that, he seems fairly normal. He waves to Jan and Scheur. "Morning, I think?" he ventures.
Blue smoke presages Gena's limping self at the top of the haste's ramp, a lit cigar firmly in his teeth. He doesn't go far, just - well, down in the direction of Jan, "Privet, Jan - vi see our passenger to be, lately?"
Volouscheur offers a feeling of greeting to Ruin, Leodh, and Jan, ~...there was bloodshed?~ Seems like Scheur hasn't heard yet.
Aleksei is still looking over the Faux, half in admiration, half in annoyance. He's not paying attention to ongoing conversations, not as yet anyway.
Mr. Skullcap makes his way back to the IND Old Daisy with a sour expression and it appears the man he was talking to thought it easier to get on and ignore the Timonae. Rillitan stops at the base of his ramp, pulling his PDA out from a back pocket and proceding to use that.
Ruin makes a face. "You'll catch up when you read the news," he says. "I'm glad you missed it; what with it being a wine festival I thought you and Iast would go."
Jantine looks up to Gena "Hey Gena, nope, haven't seen her. Her weapons are still in your locker though." he says with a shrug.
Volouscheur shakes her head, ~No. We were enjoying an evening to ourselves.~ She smiles a bit, ~Iast even made dinner.~
"...mm," is Leodh's response. He smiles at Scheur at the mention of dinner.
Gennadiy taps an ash, shaking his head. "Am nyi willing to simply take guns and bolt - vi keep eye out for her, da? Want to get that done before we move on. Is trouble with passengers."
Aleksei snorts at the Faux and moves on to the Teamhair to look at. His facial expression changes to more admiration, and little to no annoyance. From the way he's looking, the Teamhair he's got zero problems with.
Rillitan mumbles to himself, words of which nobody not so close would get the priveledge to hear. By the expression on his face, though, you might guess he's not singing songs. Unless they were angry songs.
Ruin grins over at Gena. "No boats," he says. "No boats, no Nemoni, no Norton...I'm really getting to *like* Ungstir."
Leodhais stretches a bit. "No Norton," Leodhais agrees. Everyone's on the landing pad - the two crews are sort of nearish each other. Sort of. Jan, Scheur, Gena, Ruin and Leodh are chatting at any rate. Sort of.
Jantine nods to Gena "Alright, I'll tell you if I see her." he says simply, the slight smile on his face is still there. He's sitting on the Haste's ramp, legs dangling over the side. for action
Volouscheur moves to go sit under the Teamhair's ramp, noting quietly, ~I brought some lunch, if anyone wants.~
Aleksei is now looking at the Teamhair, with some admiration, more than he's just given the Faux. He's not paying attention to any ongoing conversations at this time of shift, although that could easily change.
Rillitan turns his head around, spinning with his waist so that he's able to giving a quick check around the landing pad. He looks back to his PDA a moment before putting it away, turning, and heading towards Aleksei.
Ruin grins. "Leodhais, turn down food?" he asks. "Now why would he do that? And I wouldn't mind either, if it isn't - er. Special."
Leodhais looks over at Aleksei looking at the Teamhair, and frowns, clearing his throat. "...can I help you?" he asks. To Scheur he nods, somewhat distracted. "Am I breathing? Of course I do."
Gennadiy nods, limping his way off the ramp, down and around Jan - "Will check coffee shop later. Oh! Have cargo loaded for hop to Demaria later, too - watch step in hold, is full." He grins, then offers a wave across to the group at the Teamhair.
~Nothing special about it at all,~ Scheur replies. ~Although there are some spices that are fairly hot.~ She adds to Leodh, ~I brought tea, too.~ Settling down under the Teamhair, she starts to unpack the basket.
Jantine nods to Gena "Alright, I will." he smiles "Doesn't mean you can get away with not doing your target practice today, though, once that cargo is out of there, make sure you get it in." he says with a bit of a smile, before pushing himself off the ramp "I could do with some lunch."
Alandra comes out of the Haste and looks around her as she stretches. Heading to where Jan is sitting she gives a smile and nods greeting to everyone. "Morning," she says to everybody.
Aleksei turns and looks and Leodhais. "Nyet, just looking over the ships. I especially noticed yours, as the ship's name seems to be in Ungstiri, yes?" He points to the ship's name on the hull. Because he's looking at Leodhais, he does not see Rillitan coming over to see him, yet.
"Ah. Yes," Leodh says with a nod, and then turns his attention to the One With The Food and Tea. "Teeeeea."
"Hey. Any news on the case?" Rillitan asks of Aleksei, presuming he'd know what he's talking about.
"Are still making ya practice?" Gena winces. "Are evil man. Entirely evil." He chuckles, and starts across to the Teamhair, calling back - "Did vi ever ask /her/ by the way?" He waves a hand at Alandra.
Jantine smiles a little to Gena, before he turns to Lan "Hey, Scheur has lunch, think I'm going to get some, want any?" he asks, smiling, before he turns back to Gena, blinking "What...you mean propose?" he blinks again, twisting his lip "No...guess I haven't yet...I'd need a ring, though." he murmurs, now scratching the back of his neck.
Alandra nods, "Food sounds good," she says softly. "A ring isn't necessary. I believe I told you that already," she adds taking one of Jan's hands in hers.
Ruin turns as his ship's mentioned. Seeing a Kommissar, and one that doesn't actually seem aggravated at him, Ruin briefly has the look of a man for whom the universal rules may have inverted. "Um - hey," he says, a bit awkwardly. "Ruin Pia, captain of the Teamhair. You wouldn't happen to know how marriage agreements work here, would you? Where you go for the paperwork, the witnesses, all that? Or is there any?"
Volouscheur grins to Leodh, ~Yes, tea.~ In a teapot, even. The pot is set out, on a hotplate, and the Vollistan retrieves a few cups. Then the unpacking continues, Scheur bringing out a rice dish and what looks like stuffed mushrooms, and a bean salad. There's a meat dish as well, slices of steak and mushrooms mixed together.
Gena actually looks up at the rock roof, calling back - "Nothing about wedding is /necessary/. Point is is entirely /unnecessary/. Jan, will loan you credits, da? Vi talk to ya later." He shakes his head, giving Ruin and Leodh a /look/ as he approaches. "Is as bad as vi two. Necessary. Bah."
Leodhais grins at Jan and Lan, as he settles down near Scheur, as if she's his new best friend. "I commissioned Ruin's on Sivad a few months back," he says. "/If/ you find it's necessary? I can give you a referral, you'll get a good deal that way." Then Scheur has his rapt attention. "Oooo..." After looking with wide eyes at everything, he helps her arrange everything neatly. "Looks great."
Volouscheur puts out the plates and flatware, smiling, ~It's not much, really; a bit of leftovers from dinner last night, and some stuff I made for lunch today.~ She smiles at Leodh's compliment, though, bringing out one last item: a small bowl with a Volspak glyph on it. ~Can't forget the karaeth,~ she murmurs.
Aleksei turns to the Timonae. "No, last I heard, Kommittee was still going over the case. The wheels of justice grind slowly, or so saying goes, yes? Although if you want a rumor, I heard she might just get a, ah, 'decent' fine. She is tourist and sometimes they get a certain..what is the term? ah, da..'leeway' in cases like this." Al then turns to Ruin. "Ah Kapitan Pia. Nice ship. Also, welcome to Resilience. Ah..marriage, marriage..usually you'd have to see someone on Citizen's Kommittee about paperwork and things of that nature. Sadly, they probably closed at this time of night. You could try during first shift, though. Usually, they might hold marriage ceremonies in garden or Kommittee chambers, if you want to hold it here. Then again.." Al gets an impish grin on his face as he adds "I hear Kapitans can perform marriages, yes?"
Jantine just...blinks again, before beginning to move over towards the food, leading Alandra "Ah...uh, alright." he replies to her, nodding a little to Leodh "Alright...thanks." he then appears to adress everyone, yet no on in particular "So should I propose, then?"
"Spacer rules." Rillitan jumps ahead of Aleksei with a nod, looking down to Ruin, "Thy captain is thy god an' all." he gives the Lunite a slight sneer, "Wouldn't say it about you though." with that, he turns around, "Cheers, -comrade-." he struts back towards his ship.
Alandra follows Jan without protest. "Food sounds good," she says with a grin and not commenting on the last part of what he said.
"Good for you," remarks Ruin, mildly, to Rillitan. "I don't particularly hold with blasphemy. And *I* keep my crew out of *jail*." To Jan, he says, "Leodh gave me a ring, I gave him a choker...he did actually *ask* me, though." Nodding to Aleksei, he adds, "I just needed to know the forms and where to drop them off. I'm light on ceremony." Hiking a thumb at Jan, he adds, "I'm fairly sure they'll make up for it."
Leodhais raises an eyebrow at the mention of Captains performing marriage ceremonies. "Not their own, I don't think," he says, looking at Ruin.
Volouscheur rolls her eyes at Jan briefly, ~Of course.~ She notes, ~The karaeth might be a bit too hot for some of you; the food will taste just fine without it, though.~ She peers over at Rillitan as he leaves.
Gennadiy snorts, and ends up arriving after Jan and Lan - he's not the fastest, after all - "Vi /do/ need to ask. Assuming will just get vi in trouble later - is about her day, in end." He nods across at Rill and the Kommisar.
Jantine nears the food, and everyone else "So I should, then? Now?" he questions, still leading Alandra, and now beginning to look the slightest bit nervous.
Alandra is not hearing any of this as her stomach is guiding her to the food. "This looks good Sheur," she says as she lets Jan's hand go and sits with Leodh and Sheur.
Aleksei sez to Leodhais with a small snort: "Nyet, I was referring to marrying others, not own ceremonies. I heard somewhere that Kapitans have authority there, yes? But that's up to the Kapitan, I also think. Like I knov." Al's scar distorts his smirk slightly.
Volouscheur pours tea into the cups, offering one to Leodh first. The second goes to Alandra, and the rest are left to whoever wants a cup. This done, Scheur sets the teapot back down on the hotplate, glowing gold-green. She smiles to Lan, ~Thank you.~
"Thas because your crew're a bunch of twigs." Rillitan turns around, stopping his trek backwards. He gazes over those who look to be connected to Ruin. Arms cross over his chest.
The happy little lunch is abruptly interrupted. A teacup that's just been set down, and the container of Karaeth slowly lift up from the tarmac, supported by absolutely...nothing. Eerily, they drift out from underneath the Teamhairs ramp, between legs if necessary, and over towards the Haste, levitating a foot or so above the pad.
Once they align themselves in front of the Hastes cockpit, they settle down, drifting lazily back onto the tarmac, the teacup to the right, the Karaeth to the left.
Leodhais hides an amused smile at Rillitan's commentary, and then blinks several times. More blinking. "...I obviously don't sleep enough."
"Your welcome, and thank you, Scheur," she says with a smile which quickly becomes a frown as the items float away, "What the..."she trails off.
Gennadiy watches, as a teacup floats past, blinking - that cigar of his getting ashed - "Is neat trick, Volouscheur."
"Better than being a tin man," Ruin shrugs, but his attention's diverted by the floating teacup parade. "...Scheur, you're getting good with the telekinesis. But your stuff's going to get a ship parked on it."
~What'd be even more impressive would be if *I'd* been the one who did it,~ Scheur replies to Ruin. ~But I didn't move the things over to the Haste. Why would I?~
Aleksei is looking at leodhais, so he does not notice the flying teacups. Then again, he hears from the ongoing conversation that *something* just happened. He starts to look confused, not an unusual condition for him.
"...huh?" is Leodh's response, as he looks around. "What on Sivad...?"
Jantine frowns, twisting his head to watch the flying things. Once Ruin speaks though, the frown disappears, replaced with a nod, but his lips twist once Scheur responds, he doesn't say anything yet, just standing there.
Alandra nearly drops her tea as her mouth falls open in shock, "You..you...did...didn't do that Scheur?" She stammers.
Rillitan remains stood, a little dissapointed that nothing more was slung his way. Still, he's patient, looking over at Ruin with raised brows.
Ruin is also frowning, reaching in front of him to touch - nothing? His other hand comes up to rub at an eye. "Not you...where's Iast?" Outstretched fingers grasp nothing. "Think there's something in my eyes."
Gennadiy blinks. "Vi are only one ya know of with that sort of thing, Volouscheur - unless is Gau playing prank, and thought was nyi quite up for that." He frowns, blinking.
Leodhais shakes his head. "No, he was asleep, I tucked him in myself," he says absently.
Jantine just keeps frowning, looking over at the cup and spice, before turning back to look at Scheur, and then his attention goes to the frightened Lan. He moves over to her and just places a hand on her shoulder, frown still there, however.
~Sleeping, back on New Luna,~ Scheur replies to Ruin. ~It wasn't me, it couldn't have been Iast, and if Gau's asleep, it can't be him either.~ A feeling of comfort is offered absently to Lan.
Alandra calms a bit and she smiles wanely at Jan and Schuer in thanks.
Aleksei looks on in confusion. "Ok, what the hoo..I mean what the *hells* just happen here?!" Yep, that's Alek, really on the ball today.
Gennadiy absently rubs at the bridge of his nose, reaching up with his free hand to lean on the Teamhair's ramp. "Right."
Rillitan's frown deepens, he's not getting any attention -at all-. He makes his way back over, careful to make sure he's got a disinterested expression.
Leodhais wraps his arms around himself as though cold, gnawing his lower lip. "...mm."
"Okay, we've established who it isn't," says Ruin, walking over to the moved objects with a hand on the grip of a gun belted at his waist. "Scheur, can you tell me who it *is*? Or at least where?"
The area immediately around the teacup and Karaeth is surprisingly cold...very cold. The hot tea no longer looks all too warm. But besides that, everything looks perfectly normal, no tea seems to have been spilled, and the two objects are just resting there, absolutely still.
"If ya end up having to order /another/ titanum bar set, am going to be very put out." Gena continues rubbing at his nose, speaking more to himself than to the rest of the bunch.
Jantine just stays where he is, silent. Looking between Ruin and Scheur, but most of his attention is still on Lan, and the hand on her shoulder.
Alandra looks at Gena, "Are you refering to the insident with the bunk a while back?" she asks, "Do you think this is related?"
Volouscheur is quiet as well, looking around. Her gaze is distant, as if she's not exactly focusing on what's right in front of her. ~I can try,~ is all that's said to Ruin.
Aleksei is still looking on confusion. "Can anyone tell what just happened, please?"
"Not sure," Leodhais replies in flat, emotionless voice, shivering a little.
Gennadiy glances up at the Kommisar, taking a moment to focus on him. "Teacup and carton learned how to fly. Is positively amazing moment in history of teacups everywhere."
Jantine still just keeps silent, he raises a brow at Lan's question, still frowning. He looks over at Ruin, then to Scheur, and finally Gena.
Rillitan stays quiet, frowning slightly. Of course, he's not interested at all... Uh. Nope.
Volouscheur shakes her head, ~There isn't anyone around here who could do this, Ruin.~ A pause, ~No one alive, anyways.~
Ruin - for his part - is circling the now-unmoving objects. A little closer, a little farther out...feeling out a radius? And little attention to spare for anything else. Frowning, he reaches behind his head to undo the cord of beads that binds his hair. The beads are wrapped around the fingers of his 'feeling' hand. "Something's here," he says, by way of non-explanation. "Scheur, can you feel it?"
Alandra raises a brow at Gena's comment, and waits for an answer to her question. She glances to Scheur when she speaks. A look of concern still on her face as she does so.
The radius of cold isn't much, perhaps a few feet out from the objects, it seems to be decreasing however, the temperature beginning to rise back to normal levels.
Aleksei nods in some amazement at Gennadiy. "Spaciba. Da, just what we need nov; flying teacups and cartons. Glad I missed out, yes?" Al shakes his head dourly and adds: "So, ve have mystery here. Might be able to help. Or not, as case may be." Alek shakes his head again.
Rillitan turns his head around, he still remains a notable distance from the group but he's picking up what they're talking about. His eyes narrow as he looks between the people milling about on the landing bay.
Volouscheur shakes her head, ~I sense no one who's not alive, Ruin.~ Just the same, she gets to her feet, heading over towards Ruin and the teacup and jar.
Leodh...keeps on breathing and remaining conscious at any rate, as he remains very firmly in place, his expression flat and emotionless as he looks over at Ruin and Scheur.
Gennadiy nods to Aleksei - "Are welcome to try, da?" He nods across to the cup. "Be careful - am used to odd things having force to bend titanium bedframe - flying teacups are new variation."
Jantine is still silent, squeezing Alandra's shoulder slightly, he just watches Ruin and Scheur, and now Gena, raising an eyebrow.
Alandra looks to Leodh and offers him a comforting hand, "Are you alright?" She asks softly.
Ruin shows Scheur the diminishing radius. "Getting warmer, and the radius smaller, as it goes," he says. "Residual effect from moving them, maybe, if you can't sense anything." He looks over at Gena. "With the bedframes, Iast definitely sensed someone."
Leodhais looks over at Alandra, taking her hand and squeezing it with a faint smile. "'m all right," he says, letting go. "Just..." He shivers. "Weird."
Cautiously, as if just trying a theory, Volouscheur says, "Aiena EehAso haan ceai" A shrug to Ruin, ~I think Iast was guessing as much as anything.~
As Scheur speaks, the cold surges, although weakly. The tea cup teeters, almost as if someone is straining to push it over, before it does fall over, in the direction of the Karaeth, tea seeping around the base of the jar. Immediately after that, the cold fades rapidly, more so than before, and it's completely gone in seconds.
Aleksei nods to Gennadiy. "Alright, flying cups can hurt if they break against you. Have seen that over at Hopper's, yes. Da, will be careful if such starts to happen."
Gennadiy studiously avoids looking at the Haste, at this point. "Is more fun, at Hopper's. Is hoopin' grand party when glasses fly."
"Crazy bastards." Rillitan mutters and turns around again, heading back toward his ship, he continues to complain lowly.
Ruin bends down to pick up the items, when the cold's gone. "Well...you got a reaction, Scheur," he says. "What'd you say?"
Jantine nods slowly to Leodh, but he's silent, hand still lightly squeezing Lan's shoulder. Otherwise, nothing out of Jan.
Alandra looks at Scheur, "If this is like before, you are the one that felt whatever it was that bent the frame. Did it feel anything like that?"
~I asked if it was my uncle,~ Scheur says to Ruin. She studies the spilt tea, as if hoping to see some pattern in it.
"...was it?" Leodhais ventures quietly.
There's no acctual pattern in the tea, except that it seems drawn to the jar of Karaeth. Once the jar is lifted, it remains in the the circular pattern from the base of the jar.
Aleksei nods. "Least it's fun until one of those glasses break against your head. Then you have fun stuff like concussions, yes? " Al looks around in lesser confusion than before. "Be interesting how this turns out, though. Always did like a good mystery. And this from a Kommissar too; supposed to be used to this by now, da?"
Still, Gena focuses on Aleksei. "Would imagine, da." He grins, then. "But is far cry from idiot tourist setting off fire alarm in residential corridor."
Ruin hands the items to Scheur. "Any significance in these two things, from a potentially Nait perspective?" he asks. "It's you he's focusing on. Always you that gets the reactions." He looks over at the Haste. "Maybe thinking you're on the wrong ship?"
Skully dissapears into his ship, leaving the boarding ramp open for the moment.
Jantine just raises and eyebrow at all of this, otherwise remaining completely silent, dividing his attention between the group with the items, and occasionally a glance down to Lan.
Volouscheur takes the jar and the teacup, peering down at the spilt tea and blinking as it holds to the pattern left before the jar was picked up. She shrugs to Ruin, ~...not that I know...of...~ Her 'voice' slows and she closes her eyes, aura flickering white for a moment, ~Except the letters.~
"Letters?" Lan asks curiously. She gets up and goes to where Scheur and Ruin are, looking at the tea herself.
Leodhais gets up and walks over to look at things, taking out his glasses and putting them on so he can see better. And also for eye-protection. "...Letters?" Leodh echoes Alandra's question.
Ruin just waits, looking at Volouscheur. "Clarify, please."
Jantine follows after Alandra, staying close to her, yet keeping a bit of distance from the items and tea. He however, keeps silent.
~Tea and a tea cup,~ Scheur replies, lifting the tea-cup slightly, ~And karaeth.~ The jar is lifted. ~With the tea spilt so that it circled the jar.~
"This makes letters?" Lan asks looking down at the circle curiously.
Leodhais steps back a little bit to see if he can see them.
Gennadiy shakes his head, finally looking back across at the Haste. "Pride self on being rational man, da? Is just sometimes rationality fails in face of overwhelming evidence."
"...Message, maybe," says Ruin, somewhat doubtfully. "If it's letters, it's Vollistan letters...nothing I can decipher."
NSF Edanna navigates through the customs area, increasing speed slightly once it reaches the spacious cavern. Even then, it doesn't seem to be in any particular hurry.
Leodhais glances over at the ship, all the color draining out of his face. "...we have to go. Now," he says his voice soft, flat, but commanding.
~No, not letters made by the tea,~ Scheur says to Ruin. Traces of ruddy orange wind around her. ~Letters made by the *names* of the items.~ Movement near the customs area catches her eye, and her eyes widen as she sees the ship. Leodh's comment spurs a flicker of silver around her. ~I'll go pack up then.~
"What is that?" Lan asks looking at the ship, "Is that one of those ships...like in the news?" Concern clouds her face and she takes Jan's hand.
Jantine glances over towards the ship with Leodh's comment, frowning "...they caused the massacre on New Luna, right?" he says, then looking to Lan "Leodh's right, lets get out of here." he says, a little sternly "Back to the Haste, you too Gena." and with that, he begins moving towards the Haste, leading Lan.
NSF Edanna heads towards the group, its path heading towards the main entrance to the landing cavern. Aleksei says to Leodhais: "Now what's going on? First flying teacups I do not see, now what?" He doesn't as yet notice the tiny Nemoni cruiser. Yeah, Al. Good job paying attention to what's going on in front of you.
Ruin tilts his head. "Tea, cup, karaeth...letter o if you want the ring," he says. "In standard, you get 'tock'. Unless you add in the Haste, in which case I could make an argument for 'chokti'..." but his attention's distracted by the Nemoni vessel's arrival. "....Now *that* is a shiny piece of engineering," he says. "But after the festival - Aleksei? I'm thinking official presences are required here..."
Gennadiy pauses, blinking, glancing up from his spot next to the Teamhair's ramp. He frowns, glancing at Jan - "Da. Get her on ship, Jan - " Shaking his head, as if to clear it, he limps carefully in Ruin's direction.
Leodhais takes a hold of Ruin by the hand, and then gets Scheur. "Forget about that for now, we'll get it later," he says, unable to keep the shrillness out of his voice. "Let's go. Now."
From several ventilation shafts, two squadrons of Nemoni fighters appear, banking towards the Edanna as they form up around it. A nearby commlink crackles, apparently picking up intership chatter between them. "Edanna base, this is Falcon 1. Nemoni Pirate base negative... no signs of re-construction sir. If they've set up, it's not there." A moment later, there is a response. "Acknowledged. You are cleared to land, prepare to get underway to check site Beta. Over."
Volouscheur offers a feeling of calm to Leodh, ~I wasn't referring to the cup, Ruin. And I don't think the Haste was meant as anything but...a reference to what took us to the place the letters refer to.~ She tilts her head at the chatter, but simply says to Leodh, ~I'll pack quickly.~
Alandra follows quickly behind Jan, "What happened at the festival yesterday?" She asks concerned now running to get up the ramp of the Haste. "Gena, be careful!" she calls out as she does so.
"Gena, you too, remember what I said about not doing something stupid?" Jan calls out, a look of concern at Ruin, but he says nothing, turning to Alandra "Ruin said...thousands dead." is his only reply, before he disappears into the Haste's airlock, with one more concerned glance backwards.
Aleksei turns to Ruin: "What do you mea.." Then Al overhears something the Nemoni conversation. He turns and notices the Nemoni ships flying straight at them. "Ah, *hoop!!*, Al draws his nightstick and calls to the Nemoni ships. "What you mean, Nemoni pirate base? You telling us that you are nyi responsible for that those bioweapons used at Demaria and New Luna?"
