OZark:1. So you attack me after I cut you loose? Well, it's instinct, Mason. I'm scared to death. When you think you're going down, you grab hold of whatever's closest. Guns, drugs. God.

The crowd watched as the ship went slowly under. II. if something such as a business goes under, it fails completely and stops operating. Is the film industry going under?

And when going home wasn't an option, because that very same daddy decided he loved liquor just a little bit more than he loved Jesus that night? I went to church. Even though I was a sinner, I knew I needed it. And I felt safe there. Then when I turned about seventeen, I realized where I was headed 我的结局是什么, 后果是什么样的. I'd put one too many friends into an early grave ( an early grave 早夭, 早亡, 早死 death before the natural age that you would expect.

So I went to my pastor, and I threw myself into the loving arms of his mercy, looking for salvation. Or at least a little hope. I told him everything. I believed his forgiveness would make me whole 不在支离破碎. I even told him about the abortions. And he said all the right things.

But the way his jaw tightened, the way his eyes hardened when he looked at me, I knew. I knew he'd never look at me the same way again. And I was devastated. I was heartbroken, and I wasn't welcome. So I left God behind. Because you wanted to leave him behind. Because you never truly believed, right? A Southern preacher and abortions? You knew exactly how he'd react. That's why you told him. How long after did you leave home? Six months. Okay. So you said it yourself. The church was the only thing that you had left. So you needed him to reject you, so that way you had no choice but to leave. But anyone who truly believes can't just walk away like that 收走就走. Anyone who truly believes can't just turn their back on their faith, not even for survival. You leave a church, fine. You leave a pastor, fine. But you find a new one.

Because no one would blame you for it. But that guilt you're feeling it's the Devil tempting 邪恶诱惑, 迷惑 you( The devil tempted Jesus in the Judaean Desert after Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights following his baptism by John the Baptist. The devil appeared to Jesus three times and tried to tempt him into sin. Jesus refused each temptation, and the devil left. Being tempted by the devil means that we are more powerful than we realize, because of Christ. So when we are tempted, we should call upon his power, his precious blood, his mother and the holy angels, to come to our aid. ). Because there's a little boy out there, and he needs you more than anything in the world. And that guilt. It does nothing for him. My sin was pride. You came to us and I knew you weren't believers. I knew that you were lying. And I still thought I could change you. I still thought I could turn you into something that you weren't. 3. Before you say a word, you need to know how this works.

"the ranch's most expansive riparian habitat". II. a legal term denoting or relating to the legal rights of the owner of land on a river bank, such as fishing or irrigation. relating to or situated on the banks of a river. "all the riparian states must sign an agreement". Riparian water rights 河道权利 (or simply riparian rights) is a system for allocating water among those who possess land along its path. It has its origins in English common law. Riparian water rights exist in many jurisdictions with a common law heritage, such as Canada, Australia, and states in the eastern United States. Common land ownership can be organized into a partition unit, a corporation consisting of the landowners on the shore that formally owns the water area and determines its use. ) and eminent domain 不动产征收 ( = land acquisition, compulsory purchase, resumption, resumption/compulsory acquisition, or expropriation 强制土地征收. Eminent domain is a legal strategy that allows a federal or local government to seize private property for public use. Eminent domain is the legal right that a government has to buy private land within its borders and to compensate the owner of the land. Officials planned to use eminent domain to force 18 residents and businesses off their properties. The seizing authority must pay fair market value for the property seized. Let's say John Doe lives in a house on one acre next to Highway 47. The state wants to widen the road due to the higher traffic and the new casino that was built down the road. In order to widen the road, the state needs the space on either side of the road. Because the state deems the road necessary, it seizes John's property and gives him $250,000 for it. John does not have the opportunity to say no, though he can challenge whether the $250,000 is fair market value. The police power of local and federal governments generally is what gives them the authority to seize property for public use. The fifth and fourteenth amendments of the U.S. Constitution permit the government to exercise its power of eminent domain and requires "just compensation" for seized property. In some cases, the property owner starts the eminent domain proceedings. This is called inverse condemnation, and property owners typically apply it when a government has used a property without just compensation (typically, this happens when the government has polluted the property).) enable the government to seize land for the casino if the Snells will not sell. Jacob acquiesces [ˌækwiˈes] 无奈放弃, 被迫接受, 无奈接受(If you acquiesce in something, you agree to do what someone wants or to accept what they do. to accept or agree to something, often unwillingly: Reluctantly, he acquiesced to/in the plans. Steve seemed to acquiesce in the decision. He has gradually acquiesced to the demands of the opposition. When her mother suggested that she stay, Alice willingly acquiesced. acquiesce in/to: Despite acquiescing in the board's decision, he had never really changed his own view. acquiescence [ˌæk·wiˈes·əns] His acquiescence in these policies has made it possible for him to increase his support among some voters. vocabulary: To acquiesce is to agree to something or to give in. If your kid sister is refusing to hand over the television remote, you hope she acquiesces before your favorite show comes on. The verb acquiesce comes from the Latin word acquiescere, meaning “to rest.” If you “rest” or become passive in the face of something to which you object, you are giving tacit agreement. In other words, you acquiesce. If you want to go hiking with your family and your children are not interested, it will be a very tough day on the trail until they acquiesce. ), and decides to kill Darlene to keep the peace. 12. Helen Pierce, um, was curious today as to why $1.8 million was missing from the construction account. I was gonna tell you when you got home. Okay, I'm home.

I don't think we can avoid the Blue Cat entirely. It'll just tip off the FBI that we're onto her. What would you rather do? I'd like to take advantage of the situation and feed them misinformation. Excuse me. That is way too risky 太冒险. What if you slip 不小心说漏嘴 and tell her something you shouldn't? I think I'm capable of a little discretion. The safest choice is a clean break. Since when were you one for taking unnecessary risks? 14. You're lucky Helen called while the situation is salvageable. Albeit with an extremely aggressive approach. Or as it's known around here, 40 minutes of hell. Not sure I follow. The full-court press, pioneered by Nolan Richardson when he led the Razorbacks to the '94 national title? And adopted by Mizzou when his longtime assistant Mike Anderson coached the Tigers? Come on. I've never even been to the Ozarks before, and I knew that. Yeah. Well, just like Coach Richardson's famous full-court press ( A full-court press 全场盯防 is a basketball term for a defensive style in which the defense applies pressure to the offensive team the entire length of the court before and after the inbound pass. Pressure may be applied man-to-man, or via a zone press using a zone defense. Some presses attempt to deny the initial inbounds pass and trap ball handlers either in the backcourt or at midcourt. Defenses not employing a full-court press generally allow the offensive team to get halfway down the court (a half-court press) or near the basket before applying strong defensive pressure. A full-court press takes a great deal of effort, but can be an effective tactic. Often when teams are behind late in a game, they will apply full-court pressure as a means of attempting to produce turnovers as well as tire opponents. Certain teams, such as those coached by Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan, are known for applying full-court pressure during most of the game (this was especially evident for Pitino's Kentucky Wildcats championship squad in the 1996 NCAA tournament). Presses are especially effective against teams with poor ballhandlers, shallow benches 备用人才少 (since players become more fatigued when being attacked by a press), or slow, deliberate offenses (since taking the ball up the court can waste a substantial portion of the shot clock). Once a press is broken, however, the defensive team is vulnerable to a potential fast break or open three-point opportunity since defensive players may be caught behind the play. Effective press breaks employ quick passing more often than dribbling to advance the ball up the floor. Short, quick passes are less prone to turnovers than either long passes 长传 or dribbling. Another effective way to break a man-to-man press 专人盯防, 一对一盯防 is to pass to the center. Most presses keep a "last man back" (usually the center) whose job is to disrupt a potential fast break resulting from the press; this may leave the offensive center unguarded and able to receive a pass near midcourt or near the basket for an easy score. ), our strategy is to play offense and defense with equal intensity 同等强度.

How do you know what our family looks like? Helen. Yeah. Um Tell me about the defensive part of our full-court press. The problem with the US justice system is it doesn't prove innocence, even if you're acquitted. So, it's up to us to wash the stink off by hitting your little FBI problem head-on. So you're going to look gracious about the investigation. Smile it off 一笑置之, 一笑了之 as a misunderstanding. I'm supposed to smile about the FBI threatening to put my kids in prison? Do you want to act righteous, Marty, or do you wanna win? I work with winners. I bet your wife does, too. And she'd know the right answer from her work in politics. 15.
