Panthers Dolphins Betting – Moore Comes Back To Haunt Former Team
Sports betting players know that NFL players always want to do well against their former team, whether it is a preseason, regular season or postseason game. Matt Moore was let go by Carolina after last season and he should get the chance to shine against his ex-club when Miami welcomes the Panthers to town on Friday night.
What: NFL Betting
- When: Friday, August 19th, 7:30 PM ET
- Where: Sun Life Stadium, Miami, FL
- Pick: Miami Dolphins
Why Bet On Carolina Panthers
The big story in Carolina's 20-10 win over the New York Giants in their preseason opener was No.1 pick Cam Newton, who struggled to find his accuracy at time, but he also showed why the Panthers were so quick to take him first overall. Newton has a cannon for an arm and his mobility comes in handy behind a suspect line. Even though Jimmy Clausen outplayed him and has the inside track on the starter's job, Newton isn't far behind him and he will start for Carolina at some point in the regular season. Tight end Greg Olsen got off to a good start in his Carolina career, snagging a touchdown pass from Clausen, and he is going to be crucial to their success this season as the Panthers are weak at receiver outside of Steve Smith, who is still out with a broken finger. Defensively, the Panthers were led by eight tackles from linebacker Thomas Williams and they held the New York running game to 81 yards on 25 carries.
It'll be interesting to see how he gets most of the reps under center against Miami as the home fans booed Clausen throughout the game and even though he threw a touchdown pass to Olsen, he also had an errant pass taken back for a score by the Giants' Michael Boley. Derek Anderson is really on the roster for numbers and will get some work, but he shouldn't be considered a threat to steal the job from either Clausen or Newton. The Panthers also had three fumbles, losing one, and that has to get better throughout the preseason.
Why Bet On Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins came back from 17 points down in a 28-23 win in Atlanta, and former Panther Matt Moore showed that his move to Miami may have been a good one as he tossed a couple of touchdowns along with a pick, while Chad Henne had a score with two interceptions. Of course, you have to factor in that Moore was playing against second and third-string players, but he still looked very comfortable and poised. The defense showed that it has plenty of work to do as the first team was dominated by the Falcons, but Atlanta is tough to beat at home anyway and has one of the most powerful offenses in the league. The lower-string players definitely gave a good account of themselves with their performance to keep the Dolphins in the game. You may see the Miami debut of Reggie Bush in this game as he sat the Atlanta matchup out, and the Dolphins are counting on Bush to add some explosiveness to the offense, which will boost Miami's NFL betting chances.
Coach Tony Sparano can't be encouraged that his quarterbacks combined for three interceptions, and the Dolphins simply aren't good enough to make that many mistakes, especially in a division with New England and the New York Jets. The defense looked out of sorts in the first quarter and will have to get back on track; Carolina should be a good matchup for the Dolphins.
How It Will Play Out
The Dolphins are 3.5-point NFL betting favorites in this contest, and they are a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS in four regular-season meetings with the Panthers, and three of those games came in under the posted total. There should be an NFL betting prop in this game for the number of interceptions that could be thrown, as all four quarterbacks (Henne, Moore, Clausen, Newton) could struggle.
This is a game for the defenses to shine, but we're giving the edge to the Dolphins, as Moore can give them a little insight to the Panthers' schemes and he'll be motivated to show his old team that he could have done a job for them, although Carolina had no choice but to go in another direction. Place a wager on the Miami Dolphins in your online betting picks.

He died on Sunday, November 19, in London around 10pm. He was aged 85.
It was just about two months ago that I last saw Dr. Alex Ekwueme. He was physically present at the Supreme Court for the induction of the new SANs. Such a fine gentleman. His passage is a big loss to the country as a whole. Deep commiseration to the Ekwueme family.
— Festus Keyamo, SAN (@fkeyamo) November 20, 2017
I mourn the death of former Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, a patriot and statesman. His life was marked by an unwavering commitment to the unity and progress of Nigeria; and his personal sacrifices helped lay the foundation for our democracy.
— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) November 20, 2017
A statement from his family read:
"Ekwueme family regrets to announce the peaceful passing away of their patriarch, The sad event occurred at the London Clinic at 10:00 pm on Sunday, 19th November 2017."

Beppu is famous for hot spring.
My classmate lives near Beppu. We met up there, and she guided for me.
In front of Beppu station, there is a bronze statue of Mr Kumahachi Aburaya.
1863-1935 He contributed to the rebuilding of the Beppu which had declined at that time. He liked strange clothes and he liked children. So He have been familiar with the nickname of "Shiny uncle". He is taken up in the textbooks of social study at the elementary schools in Beppu city.
In Beppu, there are a lot of hot spring. One of them is in front of the station.
It is a Hand Bath.
We can enjoy dipping our hands.
This is the map of Beppu.
In about 10 minitus on foot, you can enjoy to see the beautiful view of seaside
and other scenic spots.
My classmate took me to a local restaurant.
I was impressed to see the EXTRA COLD beer.
The beer is minus 2 degrees!!!
In the UK, normally beer's tempreture is warm…
We orderd the EXTRA COLD one!
She orderd a good meal and we had an enjoyable time.

Thermodynamics deals with energy levels and energy transfers between states of matter, and is therefore fundamental to all branches of science. This new edition provides an accessible introduction to the subject, specifically tailored to the interests of Earth and environmental science students. Beginning at an elementary level, the first four chapters explain all necessary concepts via a simple graphical approach. Throughout the rest of Thermodynamics of Natural Systems, the author emphasizes the importance of field observations and demonstrates that, despite being derived from idealized circumstances, thermodynamics is crucial to understanding ore formation, acid mine drainage, and other real-world geochemical and geophysical problems. Exercises now follow each chapter, with answers provided at the end of the book. An associated website includes extra chapters and password-protected answers to additional problems. Thermodynamics of Natural Systems is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students studying geochemistry and environmental science.
1. What is thermodynamics?
2. Defining our terms
3. The First Law of Thermodynamics
4. The Second Law of Thermodynamics
5. Getting data
6. Some simple applications
7. Solutions
8. Fugacity and activity
9. The equilibrium constant
10. Rock-water systems
11. Redox reactions
12. Phase diagrams
13. Affinity and extent of reaction
Appendix A. Constants and numerical values
Appendix B. Standard state properties
Appendix C. Answers to exercises
Greg Anderson is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Toronto. He began his career as a mining engineer and exploration geologist before becoming interested in geochemistry. After completing his Ph.D. at Toronto, he spent five years at Pennsylvania State University doing experimental work on mineral solubilities. Afterward, he returned to Toronto, where he has since divided his time between studies of mineral systems, lead-zinc ore deposits, and theoretical geochemistry. He is the co-author of two other textbooks for Earth scientists, and in 2000 was awarded the Past Presidents' Medal (now named the Peacock Medal) by the Mineralogical Association of Canada for contributions to geochemistry.
"The beauty and power of this book is how Greg Anderson shows us, in rigorous yet practical and pictorial terms, how we can learn about the fundamental behaviour of our complex planet from classical thermodynamics alone. Anderson conveys this [...] with fervor, with humor and with many calculated examples – which all emphasize that asking the right question is the key to meaningful simplification, and to answers that capture the essence of complex natural systems."
– Christoph A. Heinrich, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Switzerland
"Thermodynamics is one of the most universal scientific disciplines [...] But being so universal also requires it to be introduced and taught very differently to students in such diverse fields of science. This 3rd edition is a really welcome and timely book in this context. The book introduces and discusses the most important concepts of equilibrium thermodynamics in their specific applications to geological and environmental sciences. The author has made particular efforts to only use minimum necessary formal mathematical apparatus to present the thermodynamic laws and relationships. However, this is carefully done without any oversimplification or loss of physical accuracy [...] The textbook can be recommended as a very good introductory course in thermodynamics for undergraduate geoscience and environmental science students."
– Andrey G. Kalinichev, École des Mines de Nantes, France

At a hearing in Fulton County superior court Friday, Judge John J. Goger placed the burden squarely upon the City of Barnesville in an appeal of the granting of its permit to relocate at least 103 graves from Wadsworth Cemetery to Greenwood Cemetery.
That permit was issued by the Lamar County commission by a narrow 3-2 vote on July 13, 2016. The city desires to relocate the graves to make room for industrial expansion. The cemetery, which dates back to the early 1800s, is located on city-owned property.
Direct Wadsworth descendants Mike Ross and Cynthia Wadsworth appealed. John Strauss, representing Ross, and Ed Furr, representing Wadsworth, filed those appeals in Fulton County superior court where Goger is the deputy chief judge.
At issue is whether or not Barnesville is a political subdivision of the state. If it is, Georgia law seems clear it should have gone to Lamar superior court to seek the permit rather than the county commission.
The City of Barnesville hopes to remove the graves from the Wadsworth Cemetery to the section of Greenwood Cemetery marked in red. (File photo).

Antagonists: When Vice Becomes a Virtue
With spoilers for: The Dark Knight
A few weeks ago, I did a short piece on Jesse Pinkman and concluded that there are many, often conflicting, ways of making a character likeable. Today, I just want to hit that point home a bit, by turning your attention to antagonists – and how they often come with characteristics which make us support them more than we probably should.
You know my powers, my dear Watson, and yet at the end of three months I was forced to confess that I had at last met an antagonist who was my intellectual equal. My horror at his crimes was lost in my admiration of his skill.
This quote follows Sherlock Holmes' first encounter with Moriarty, and I love it because I think it perfectly encapsulates how most of us react to a good villain. Antagonists are usually the main source of conflict in a story, so it seems to follow that they should be incredibly good at what they do – incredibly good at stopping the hero from achieving his goals. However, by making them this way, writers often endow them with a level of excellence, lacking in most of the other characters, including the hero.
A good example of this is the Unstoppable Evil archetype, home to characters such as the Salamanca twins from Breaking Bad. These are the two silent, almost mechanical cartel hitmen, barely with a moment on screen where they're not shooting someone, beheading someone or trying to find means to facilitate either of those activities. Natural to their line of work, they don't have much going for them on a moral level – and they aren't exactly providing the comic relief either.
Jesse Pinkman: A Lesson in Likeability
With spoilers for: Breaking Bad – Season 1, Episode 1
Jesse Pinkman is not a good guy.
Pretty obvious statement really. I mean, the guy comes from a comfortable, middle-class family, goes to a fairly good school and still ends up as a drug dealer with a drug addiction. He's the worst kind of person. Bad by choice.
And yet I can't help but not want to write that. There's something about his character which is so likeable it pacifies the rational, judgemental part of my brain and makes me want the best for him, makes him one of the heroes. So why is he such a likeable character?
Childlike Naivety
Everything about Jesse Pinkman shouts a kind of childish insolence. His clothes are gaudy and several sizes too big. He speaks in a slang vernacular, peppered with bitches and yos. He greets his elders with smart-ass adolescent backchat – which, naturally, lacks any real venom or sincerity, as it's just a guise to hide his underlying vulnerability.
In fact, he comes across as being half his age a number of times, either through words ("cowhouse", "the dude that sells Starbucks his beans", always calling Walt "Mr White") or by actions. You can take pretty much any screenshot of Jesse from the first three episodes and it'll be there to emphasize his childlike nature.
This all goes to help us forgive Jesse for his shameful behaviour. We appreciate that he isn't really a bad person, just ethically short-sighted – and this moral myopia may be corrected once he realises the full impact of his actions. His naivety, in a sense, promises moral development. I mean, the prodigal son didn't return home only to start acting like a dick again, did he?
It could be that, or it could just be that we have a natural affection for kids, puppies, kittens and the people who remind us of them. I'd ask you: are there any characters you hate because of their immaturity? I can't currently think of any, although I might turn to this question in another post.

More Associates feature in Future London exhibition
Future London is a GLA project that helps Londoners to make their city sustainable, and shows how design and planning can help. The project was launched with a large exhibition in East London designed to show the public that sustainable living is both easy and affordable. The exhibition goes beyond describing the sustainable lifestyle choices that people can make by showing the consequences of these choices, making it easy to see the link between individual actions and local, national and global impacts.Read more...
CarbonCulture launches at seven Whitehall Departments
CarbonCulture is a new initiative started by More Associates for organisations that want to get really good at saving energy and carbon. Structured as a social enterprise, CarbonCulture exists to help all its members find the best 'moves' they can make to save energy and carbon.
CarbonCulture will spread that knowledge amongst the membership so we can all get better at saving as quickly and as cheaply as possible. We've been working for some time with pioneers DECC and Defra to design strategies to achieve initial savings.
After months of work, the first organisations to sign up launched with CarbonCulture's debut tool last week - an easy-to-use reporting tool to allow members to show the public their present energy and carbon practices. These are some of the most progressive Government departments – from HM Treasury to the Cabinet Office.
Shortly, new tools will be offered to members that will help to identify and drive new savings. CarbonCulture will be providing some amazing tools to help to do this in the coming weeks and months. If your organisation would like to get involved, send an email to email@example.com more...

No problem! RIDE/WALK Anywhere allows teams 40 minutes or more away from a RIDE location to be able to register, raise funds and participate for the RIDE-approved charity of their choice.
All RIDE/WALK Anywhere teams must ride or walk on September 29, 2018, to align with our national event and the campaign they are riding for.
The RIDE/WALK Anywhere program is for use by teams who are located 40 minutes or more away from an official RIDE site. Search our list of locations here to see which is closest to you.
All riders/walkers must register online to help us monitor your team size and the average age for safety purposes and, to ensure the online waiver form is accepted during registration. You can't participate without registering online and Team Captains are required to enforce this.
Ride for Refuge
260-659 King Street East
Kitchener, ON
Everyone loves our groovy, long-sleeved RIDE t-shirts. To ensure you receive yours, please read below carefully:
RIDE/WALK Anywhere cannot exceed 30 participants. One large team or a couple average sized teams is the maximum permitted. We carefully monitor team size and location and communicate directly with each Team Captain to ensure compliance.
Team captains are responsible for ensuring all riders and walkers:
Our family (2 adults, 2 kids) is riding (or walking) as a team. Will you send us all a t-shirt?
This calls for some RIDE math! If your family team has raised: ($150 x 2)+($75 x 2) = $450 collectively, then we'd be happy to send you 4 t-shirts to the team captain's home address. Make sure each team member is registered online and has selected their preferred t-shirt size.
Our youth group is riding and one team member raised way more than the others - will you send us all t-shirts?
Not in this case. Family teams are a little different since most will be drawing from a common group of friends and family members for donations, and so we allow them to pool their fundraising results. For all other teams, we'll calculate how many on the team have raised $150 (adults) or $75 (youth by September 15, and send the appropriate number of t-shirts to the team captain. And don't try to tell us all of your teammates are sixteenth cousins...
What if I don't raise $150 / $75 until after the Sept. 15 deadline? Will you still send me a t-shirt?
We sure will - but after Sept. 29th (if we still have your size available).
What do I do with the money I raised for my partner charity?
All donations must be collected online, or for cash donations, settled online using your own credit card or PayPal account. You can enter cash or cheque donations into your page by logging in to FundHub. Navigate to the "Enter $$ or Cheques" tab, and enter your donor's information and donation amount. Once that information is saved, you can pay the pledge by credit card or PayPal. As long as you include your donor's full mailing address and email address, a receipt will be sent to your donor as soon as you pay off the donation.
I have more questions!
We have more answers! Check out the RIDE FAQ page first. If we still haven't answered your questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stroud Open Studios
Sunday, 8 April 2018
It's almost a year since The Mobile Makery (aka Bambi) and I hit the road to take part in Stroud's SITE Festival Open Studios which this year fall on 5th/6th and 12th/13th May.
SITE is a festival of artist-led projects that pop up in venues all across this wonderful little town which nestles in a valley on the edge of the Cotswolds. I have a big soft spot for Stroud. Not only did its mills help forge Britain's textile revolution, they literally stitched it together too as Stroud was a clattering powerhouse of pin manufacture. The town now supports dozens of artisans, boasts an abundant weekly farmers' market and still retains links to its textile past - its home to a company that manufactures cloth for pool tables. A useful thing to know the next time you accidentally rip through the baize with your cue!
Last year I was lucky enough to team up with Atelier Stroud - a hub for a huge variety of unique creative workshops. You can learn how to put together a podcast, sew a teddy bear or fashion a reusable sanitary pad - YES - that's right - Stroud's always been ecologically minded! The lovely Katharina Hveger Child, who owns Atelier Stroud, responded almost immediately to my call out for a place to pop-up during open studios. She not only gave Bambi a generous spot in Atelier's forecourt, she positively welcomed me into the creative world that she's so carefully and imaginately curated in the town.
She's been a huge supporter of my Sew on the Go project and I'd like to thank her and all those who've encouraged me on this journey. You'll all be thrilled to hear that we've funded a massive 38% of the book and we're now tantalisingly close to the half way mark.
Please tell all your friends about Sew on the Go - and see if you can persuade them on board too. It would be great to be able to take to the highways and byways of Britain in Bambi with my new book to promote!

You can help make this book happen. Please share it, and encourage your followers to share it, too.

Sometimes a classic is exactly what you need. This picture of Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin brought back great memories of my childhood and Halloween.
My friends and family are always sending me emails of cute and funny pictures. I see a lot of cute and funny pictures on Facebook and other sites on the internet. After years of just enjoying them I have decided to share them so everyone can get a smile, chuckle or even a giggle when they need one. Please note – I do not know who took the pictures, or worked on Photoshop to create them. I just enjoy them and am sharing them.

When a medical crisis strikes and paramedics show up, they're usually there to help, but this taut (and sometimes hilarious) thriller from writer-director Larry Cohen turns that notion on its head. Comic book artist Eric Roberts is chatting up Janine Turner on the streets of New York when she collapses and is whisked off in an ambulance - but she never makes it to any of the local hospitals. As Roberts tries to unravel the mystery, snappy reporter Red Buttons and cynical cop James Earl Jones help and hinder him, respectively.
Before he was the Terminator, before he was the governor, he was the Barbarian, seeking vengeance against the sorcerer who massacred his village. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in the film adaptation of the Robert E. Howard novels. Writer-director John Milius' intelligent and visceral sword-and-sorcery film features Ron Cobb and William Stoudt's beautiful production design and an inspiring score by Basil Poledouris. Co-starring James Earl Jones and Max Von Sydow.
Can magic and science coexist? Only if Peter Dickinson (John Ritter), a game designer recruited by three wizards, can defeat the evil Ommadon (James Earl Jones). This unusually philosophical animated treat also features the voices of Harry Morgan and Victor Buono.

In 1950, Kuraray became the first in the world to develop PVA resin, which is used as a material for KURALON fibers. With its unique water-solvent properties, PVA resin is widely utilized in such items as paper processing agents, adhesive agents and fiber sizing agents. In addition, PVA resin has high market share worldwide thanks to its use in optical poval film, a basic component of LCDs.
Furthermore, PVB (polyvinyl butyral) resin made from PVA resin is used in paints, inks and binders in fine ceramics, while PVB film has been adopted for the manufacture of window glass for buildings and as an inter-layer in shatterproof safety glass for vehicles. In recent years, PVB film's applications have widened to include sealants for solar power generation panels.

Talent management is the mantra of many sophisticated organisations, however having talented people is not enough. People need development to ensure their full potential is realised. In addition to talented people, the other scarce commodity is time. We don't have the time to allow our talented people to evolve slowly and develop over many years. The AIM WA Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) addresses both these dilemmas.
Exceptional program design incorporating diverse and engaging learning approaches, fully residential format, and an intensive focus on performance improvement is coupled with skilled facilitators and coaches. This approach assures the fast-track development of your future leaders. Participants can expect to be challenged and inspired, their organisations can expect new and applied insight into what it takes to perform at the highest level.
This premium program uses a blended learning approach which includes face-to-face sessions, access to our online learning platform and 12 months Professional Membership of AIM WA. Learn more at aimwa.com/blendedlearning
This program has been designed for talented people whom an organisation believes have the potential to assume a mid to senior level position within the next three to five years. It is likely they will be relatively new in their career (five years or less managerial experience), or have aspirations to manage a team of people.
A wide variety of learning approaches are used throughout the ELP. This approach caters for different learning styles and exposes participants to alternative ways of learning. Each approach has specific objectives and focuses on particular skills, knowledge and behaviours.
Pre-work will be required prior to attendance on this program.
The ELP represents part of the life-long learning journey of participants. Participants come to the program with substantial knowledge and experience. During the ELP we hope to fast-track their development and then offer ongoing opportunities to continue their learning journey through regular events that run throughout the year. Participants will also have access to additional mentoring or coaching sessions (3 x 1 hour sessions).
Fees for Optional/Additional Coaching Package:
(3 x 1 hour)
$900 Non Member
$800 Corporate / Professional Member

Western Australia's most enduring and respected development program for mid level managers and technical professionals, the Executive Development Course (EDCO) is essential for executives moving into a general management role. The EDCO has been an essential component of the career progression for thousands of executives over the past 30+ years.
Whilst technical expertise often gets us promoted, managerial competence keeps us in the new job. This program is designed to improve and develop the management style and skills of new managers. It offers a unique opportunity to explore self-management and managing the performance of others. It introduces participants to the practical tools and strategies needed to succeed in the management role.
AIM WA is pleased to partner with The Pacific Institute® to deliver this globally renowned program aimed at creating mindsets that increase thinking flexibility, enable change and generate high performance. The program has been delivered to 6.5 million people in 60 countries.
Leaders are often required to make evidence based, data-driven decisions. This program will expose participants to a range of tools and techniques to help unpack and resolve complex, multi-criteria problems and forge ahead with confidence.
You need to understand yourself as a leader before you can understand or lead others. This program draws on some of the most up-to-date research on leadership world-wide and focuses on the practical application of leadership skills and principles.
Change is a constant in today's organisations. This program is designed to provide managers with the skills and knowledge to implement and cope with change at the individual, group and organisational levels. The forces provoking change both within and outside organisations are also reviewed as are the causes of resistance to the change agenda.
People who have good ideas, change initiatives, proposals or recommendations they want to sell to senior management need to be equipped with a solid business case. Discover the key components that make up a business case and learn the step-by-step process to increase your chances of success.
The Women in Leadership program is aimed at demonstrating high performance in the workplace, career planning and managing the multifaceted roles of women.
The Filling the Pool research conducted by the Committee for Perth outlines some important strategies that organisations can implement in order to build the pipeline for women to reach senior and influential roles in organisations. This program explores the opportunities and barriers to organisations implementing these recommendations.
This program could be called 'How to be a great employee', but in the Australian culture it is sometimes seen as crawling to the boss. Yet most of us want to make a meaningful contribution to our organisation's success through our work. If that describes you, then this program will help you achieve that goal.
Organisations often require knowledge and skills of specialists who don't work directly for them and the workings of this relationship can have a big impact on the outcomes achieved. Learn a range of skills on how to engage stakeholders and increase the likelihood of positive outcomes.
In order to increase their impact, leaders must understand and influence the people with whom they work and inevitably lead. Before the program, participants will conduct a 360° questionnaire and then examine the outcomes of this during the program. This enables participants to identify how others see them in their leadership role, and examine ways to improve other's perceptions of them.
Explore the nature of ethical decisions in the workplace and learn how to apply a framework that will build competence and confidence in making these important ethical decisions at work.
Being an introvert need not be a hindrance to achieving success as a leader. Explore the essential characteristics of a leader and learn how you can build on your unique strengths and build your confidence as a leader within your workplace. The program may also assist those who provide support, coaching or mentoring to others who aspire to a leadership role.
This program will examine the leadership mindset and give participants the confidence to step forward and take responsibility for existing and new challenges.
In today's rapidly changing business world, people are increasingly required to justify their business decisions. This highly practical and interactive program will provide participants with a clear framework to prepare a successful business plan and tailor it to the needs of the organisation and business unit.
This program will encourage you to look to the future to establish and plan your long term goals. A strategic business plan will help participants to keep day-to-day decisions aligned with their long term goals.
People are an organisation's greatest asset! Their managers' need to take an active part in addressing and responding to specific opportunities to improve behaviours of their employees and thus the performance of their organisation. This program will help participants develop the coaching skills to support and sustain improved performance by others.
This program is designed to develop the personal insight necessary to lead, manage and interact with colleagues effectively and productively. Participants will have the opportunity to identify and practice the key skills of communication, motivation, delegation and problem solving so that they can learn to maximise their own potential and that of their staff.

A shout rang through the deserted courtyard, followed immediately by its source, a running young man. He skidded to a halt and looked around, but saw nothing other than plants and startled avian life forms. "Owen! Owen, where the hell are you?"
Anakin Skywalker cocked his head to the side, considering for a moment. Then he bolted into the house, aiming for the office. "Owen!"
"Slow down, Skywalker," Owen Lars said, not looking up from his paperwork. "I'm not going anywherre."
Anakin laughed and sat on the desk, knocking papers awry. "That's where you're wrong, my friend."
Owen leaned back from his scrambled paperwork and rubbed his tired eyes before he favored his friend with a sour look. "Why does it not surprise me that you just said that?"
"Because I got my ship, that's why!" Anakin grinned. "And you're coming with me."
"Come on, Anakin, you know I can't" Owen started, only to be cut off by his friend.
"You promised, remember?" Anakin reached out and rumpled Owen's dark hair. "Come on, I know there's a brain in there, you remember everything else under the sun! No sense trying to pretend you've forgotten something so important."
"Okay, you've got me there," Owen sighed heavily. "I remember. But why now? Why couldn't you wait until it was winter, for Force's sake?"
"Because," Anakin said, hopping off the desk with an irrepressible grin, "the opportunity presented itself now, not in winter. So are you coming?"
Owen scraped the papers, comprising his quarterly Imperial reports, into a pile and looked at them for a moment, ignoring the impatiently pacing Skywalker. He'd known this day was coming, known it for a very long time, but definitely hadn't expected it today. "You willing to wait until tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Why?"
"I'd like to set things in order here, if you don't mind."
"Oh, come on, Owen! Don't give me that look." Anakin laughed. "I was only kidding. Of course I'm willing to wait. But you're not backing out of this trip, you hear me?"
"Wouldn't dream of it," Owen lied.
"Ha! If you didn't dream of backing out of travelling, you wouldn't be you. But that's okay."
"Why, Anakin?" Owen asked suddenly, looking at his friend with a combination of affection and bewilderment. "Why is it okay?"
Anakin looked back at him with one of his rare serious expressions. "You know. Because you're my friend. Anything you do is okay, remember?"
Owen shook his head slowly. "Sometimes I wonder why you put up with me. We're so different... you're all energy and fire, ready to take on the universe, and, well, I'm not."
"You keep me sane," Anakin said, then lost his seriousness in the flash of his quicksilver grin. "But right now, I bet you have a ton of boring stuff to do, don't you?"
"Yeah, you would think so. Fortunately, it won't take much to put the farm in order, even with all this new Imperial paperwork poodoo. Why they want to have quarterly reports on the state of my vegetables, I'll never know."
"Something's wrong with the system," Anakin shrugged. "First thing tomorrow, then?"
"You're on." Owen smiled. Somehow Anakin never had to try very hard to convince him, even when it was something against his better judgment.
Anakin left, off like a shot. Owen knew he'd be up all night, fiddling with his new ship, making sure everything was absolutely perfect. Anakin had planned for this day for most of his life. Owen finished up his paperwork and put in a call to his brother, leaving a message that he was going offworld for an unknown amount of time. They'd discussed it before, agreed that Sheldon would watch over the farm until Owen returned. Somehow Owen hadn't thought it would be so soon, though...
He shut down all the peripheral power, leaving only the house on. Then he went outside for a walk through the warm moist evening. The gardens around the house, his mother's legacy, filled the air with the scents of opening night blossoms and herbs. He loved this place. His roots were here. His family had owned this farm for three generations. He'd taken over just last year, in time for the harvest, when his mother's health required a move into the city, to be near medical care. This would have been his second harvest... but Sheldon could handle it. Would be glad to, in fact. While Owen... Owen would be off galivanting across the galaxy with his best friend.
Owen smiled suddenly, through the premature homesickness. One thing certain, Anakin would make sure the trip was interesting.
Owen was packed and waiting in the courtyard by the time Anakin staggered in. Owen rose, grinning. "Still not much of a morning person, I see," he laughed. He loved mornings.
"Never have been, never will be," Anakin grunted. "You coming? Port authorty's on me already."
"I believe it." Owen slung his duffel over his shoulder. "Lead on, friend."
"Must you be so damn cheerful? Think I liked you better when you were all sad last night."
"You would," Owen chuckled. "So where's this ship of yours? I'm expecting her to be damn amazing, from the way you were acting last night."
"Huh. Wait until midday. Then I'll be awake enough to give you the tour."
Anakin's runabout was parked outside the farmhouse. Owen tossed his bag in and climbed aboard, glad Anakin had developed the dubious skill of flying safely while more than half asleep. His friend pulled himself into the pilot's seat and took off without a word.
The spaceport was not far away. Owen spent the ride looking out the window, watching the lands pass by that he'd known for all his twenty years. He was a little scared still, but now that he'd actually gotten started on this trip, he was getting excited. After all, they'd only been planning to travel together since they were both little boys... Anakin had never been interested in farming, always looking towards the stars, always saving and scrounging money for the day when he could finally buy his own starship.
"There she is," Anakin said, breaking the silence, when they reached the spaceport. "Third one on the left, the small freighter."
"Not bad," Owen said, straining for a clear look at the ship. Not overly large, but she was neat and trim. She looked fast. "And she's all yours?"
"Paid in full. Got the title transfer and name change registered yesterday."
"So what's the new name?"
"Need you ask?" A quick grin flashed through Anakin's morning grumpiness.
"Fortune's Flyer!" the two said together, then Owen laughed.
"I can hardly believe you named her that," he said, shaking his head. "Hope she'll have a better run than her namesake."
"No doubt about that, my friend. I think a starship, even a small freighter, can outfly fate a bit better than an old tree branch."
"But oh, the adventures we had, before that blasted storm knocked our faithful Flyer flat." Owen chuckled. Then Anakin maneuvered the runabout into the storage area and the two friends hiked across the spaceport, back to the Flyer.
"It's all real now," Anakin said, as the ship powered up. Owen gave him a thumbs-up when the clearance came over the radio. "Here we go!"
With a steady hum from well-tuned engines, the Fortune's Flyer rose into the air and left the planet Terillon behind.

At night, we would go to bars. The house was on a marshy point of land known as Lieutenant's Island, which was only an island at high tide. Some nights, we'd come back to find the road flooded, as if it had never been at all. I was not new to the Cape—I'd spent summers there, or parts of summers, since 1971—but this was a more conditional experience, more elemental and more charged. The same was true of the bars we frequented: dark places, their air thick with cigarette smoke and a kind of survivor's tenacity.
The girl sat up in the passenger seat, smiling at the cokehead show. DePuzzo was so angry we couldn't move. "I pay you motherfuckers for what? I should can your asses now for this shit. " Rener and Marcello stared around him, but Gleason looked right at him. He started to raise his hand, as if to pause the moment, but DePuzzo stepped closer, stopping it. He was too fast. I didn't even see his hands move. I just heard the hard thump of bone on flesh and saw Gleason go down, blood and saliva bubbling out of his mouth.
