After another prediction that the world is about to end from a radio evangelist, one small business has demonstrated just how to make the best out of a bad situation. Reverend Harold Camping, from California, announced that Rapture will be taking place this Friday October 21 - the day when Jesus comes to save his Christian followers, leaving the rest of humanity damned to the apocalypse.

The Centre on Wednesday filed a fresh affidavit in the Gujarat High Court in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case, saying it never justified the action of Gujarat police and had no objection to an independent inquiry in the case.
"The Central Government was not concerned with the merits of the action taken by the Gujarat Police and anything stated in the (earlier) affidavit was not intended to support or justify the action of the State police," the fresh affidavit filed in the High Court on Wednesday said.
"If, on a proper consideration of the facts it is found that an independent inquiry and investigation has to be carried out, the Union of India would have no objection to this and would abide by the decision of the Court," the affidavit filed by Under Secretary, Internal Security-VI in the Ministry of Home Affairs, R V S Mani said.
Judicial inquiry in the Ishrat Jahan case by magistrate S P Tamang had concluded that the encounter of Ishrat Jahan was fake.
After Magistrate Tamang's report, Gujarat government quoting an earlier affidavit filed by the Centre in the High Court, had tried to justify the encounter by saying that as per Centre's affidavit Ishrat and three others were linked to Laskar-e-Toiba terror outfit.

Movie (2001)
Compelling Academy Award-winning biopic of brilliant mathematician John Nash, whose prospects for a promising career with the CIA were confounded by paranoid delusions and schizophrenia as the stress of the job proved too much. It certainly makes fascinating viewing, but it's not always easy to watch - and many critics felt the 2001 Best Film Oscar should have gone elsewhere. Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris and Judd Hirsch star.

Buffalo Inn Restaurant Review: Buffalo Inn's interior has a predictable Western motif, but the trellised, outdoor patio, pleasantly shaded and decidedly laid back, is a great place to enjoy a signature buffalo burger, spicy Cajun chicken sandwich, good chili, value-priced steak, and homemade potato chips. An eclectic selection of beers is offered --- more than 20 on tap and an equal number by the bottle. The patio also sports fire pits at night and live bands on the weekends. |

Fuel Type Use these filters to select the type of fuel for you gas grill. Choose between propane grills and natural gas grills. | Fuel Type | Propane |
Burner Configuration Most grills come with one of two types of burner configurations either conventional or infrared. Conventional is the standard and most common configuration. It lights a flamed burner that heats a cooking grate which then cooks the food. Infrared burners heat up through an infrared element that then heats a cooking grate which then cooks the food. The appeal of the infrared burner is that they reduce flare ups and vaporize any dripping to add flavor back into the food. Yet the grills with infrared burners are typically more expensive. Some grills also come with a hybrid configuration of both conventional and infrared. | Burner Configuration | All Conventional |
Gas Grill Type Select the type of grill you want from the widest selection of gas grills for all uses. Our offering includes post mount grills for a more permanent yet durable approach, portable grills for camping and picnics, and our most popular, grills on carts. | Gas Grill Type | On Cart |

Liberty Ross is no longer wearing her wedding ring after the news of her husband having an affair with Kristen Stewart broke. A source now tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Liberty believes Rupert is in love with Kristen and the photos of them making out were much more than a fling!
Photos surfaced of Kristen Stewart cheating with her SWATH director Rupert Sanders on July 24. Just two weeks later on August 7, his wife, Liberty Ross was seen without her wedding ring.
Although previous reports have said that Liberty wanted to attend therapy to repair their relationship, especially for the sake of their two young children, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that things have changed.
"When Liberty first found out about the affair she wanted to go to couple's therapy and save the marriage for the sake of her children. But now she believes it wasn't just a momentary fling. Liberty thinks Rupert fell in love with Kristen and is STILL in love with her. No amount of therapy is going to change the way Rupert feels about Kristen," a source close to Liberty tells us EXCLUSIVELY.
"Liberty is devastated that Rupert would do this to her and the kids. Her main priority is the welfare of her kids and all of her decisions have and will continue to be been made with this in mind."

Looking at the pics and watching their interviews, yeah, he's in love. They BOTH talk about and look at each other with total adoration. I think Rupert's wearing his wedding ring and apologizing to his "beautiful wife" because it makes him look a little better in the media. And I'm not a fan of Kristen. I think Liberty's way better. But Rupert is obviously a pig.

Any info on the Cosworth 2.3 280BHP Engine Swap?
Hey everyone! :)
I wanted to start piecing together information and any problems that might arise from swapping the Cosworth 2.3L 280BHP (20001727) Engine into the 2006 MK1.5 ZX3 SES Focus I have. This is going to take me quite some time to acquire the funds to do the entire swap and purchase. But, basically I wanted to plan out any modifications I make on the vehicle in the mean time to be transferable to the new engine when done. Obviously there are a lot of parts I would need to rule out completely as there will be Cosworth parts installed on pretty much the entire engine. The real question is what is there that I can do that they wont be installing automatically. Also, I'm assuming an engine like this would be race application only and this would not be streetable. If I am able to retain street compliance then that would be nice in that I can drive it to shows and meets. If not possible then I'll keep this puppy garaged for race days only and buy me a daily after the wife gets our next vehicle. They install BOLDED, with everything in Underlined Italics is optional. ______________________________________________ Engine Matrix -2.3 Forged Pistons (CR 13:1) -Cosworth Piston Ring Pack -2.3 Forged Connecting Rod Kit -2.3 Big End Bearings (VP2) -2.3 Billet Crankshaft Fuel System -High Flow Fuel Injectors -Large Capacity Fuel Rail Cylinder Head/Valvetrain -Cosworth Ultra Race Camshafts -Cam Friction Washer -Ultra Race Valve Spring -Cosworth Extrude Honed Cylinder Head -Heavy Duty Head Bolts Lubrication System -Modine Oil Cooler -High Flow Oil Pump -Cosworth Stage 2 Dry Sump Coolant System -Cosworth Large Pulley Water Pump -Thermostat (82* C) & Housing Induction System -Cosworth Roller Barrel Throttle Assembly -Carbon Fiber Airbox and Foam Air Filter -Throttle Position Sensor Exhaust System -Exhaust Gasket Electrical System -Starter Motor -Ignition Coil -Spark Plugs (Temp 7) -Loom Kit -ECU (Flashed with Base Calibration) -Calibration Interface Kit Auxiliary Drive -Lightweight Alternator (40 Amp) -Lightweight Alternator Brackets -Alternator Pulley (64mm) -Accessory Drive Belt (1,310 mm) Miscellaneous -Lightweight Flywheel -Clutch -Spigot Bearing -Heavy Duty Flywheel Bolt Set -Engine Lifting Eyes (Pair) -Cosworth Carbon Coil Cover including Fitting Kit Engine Assembly and Test -Cosworth Assembled -Engine Hot Test -Full Engine Break-In & Performance Test -Dispatch Kit ______________________________________________ My idea is that I should focus (no pun intended) on in this order of preference. -Agressive Suspension -Wheels & Brakes -Lightening the Vehicle with Carbon & Lexan Lexan Windows Roof Hood Hatch Fenders Bumpers -Exhaust? -Hose Work? -Competition Radiator? -Any modifications you guys can think of. A pretty hefty project to take up on, but time & money are on my side. :) I'm also looking to see if this would be best as a naturally aspirated engine application or if its possible to Supercharge or Turbocharge the vehicle. I noticed the 13:1 Compression Rating and I would be afraid to do so. -Tochi

Hey we may all be without jobs and our economy go off the fiscal cliff, poor natl security and government control BUT WE GET TO SEE MICHELLES DRESS!! AND REPORTS FOR FOUR MORE YEARS YAY That's what matters! I have such faith in our country's intelligence.
2 years
she does have great style! Some of the outfits might be rented, borrowed from her stylist or assistance, but the First Lady still has to pick them out herself, she knows what works for her. I also really like the fact that she recycles her clothes.. Ann Romney's outfits are even more $$$ than Michelle Obama's..

I love her, and not just because she has great arms (which she does). Her style is very first lady appropriate in my opinion.

Wow, this woman is stunning! I love how she just oozes class, confidence and vivacity; her wardrobe complements all of that perfectly. I also like how she and Mr. President hold hands and such in public. It's so cute!!
2 years
I must admit these are 3 of her best (I applaud her for giving 'no name' designers a chance-start . . ) however, all the $ in Chin a (no pun intended!) can't give her class. You have it or you don't. Try as she may, she doesn't have it because class reaches far beyond your clothing style!!!!

In the summer of 1998, Schneider traveled to Moscow where he told two ballet instructors at the Moscow State Academy of Choreography that he was willing to provide "assistance" to students attending the academy. The instructors identified a 12-year-old student whose family could no longer afford to pay his board. Schneider convinced the boy's parents to allow him to live with Schneider in an apartment a few blocks from the school. From the fall of 1998 until 2004, Schneider engaged in a sexual relationship with the victim, bringing him to Philadelphia for a summer program in 2001, and then returning to Moscow with the victim in August 2001 to continue the sexual relationship.
Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2011. The defendant faces a maximum possible sentence of 15 years for count one and 10 years for count two.
The case was investigated by ICE HSI and the FBI, with assistance from the Investigative Committee of the General Procuracy of the Russian Federation, the ICE's attaché in Moscow and Interpol. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michelle Morgan-Kelly and Vineet Gauri.
The investigation that led to this case was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to identify, investigate and arrest those who prey on children, including human traffickers, international sex tourists, Internet pornographers, and foreign-national predators whose crimes make them deportable.
Launched in July 2003, ICE agents have arrested more than 12,800 individuals through Operation Predator. ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-347-2423. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

Wildwind: Erica visits Caleb on Christmas Eve and encourages him to reach out to Asher. She tells him her story of how Kendall was conceived. That she was raped. Wow! That is brave. Caleb calls her Dorothy again and says she is an amazing woman and suggests she go home and be with her daughter. Slater home: Father Clarence tells Kendall his car stalled. Kendall thinks this is a sign and asks him to bring Zak home for her. Uh he can't do that Kendall!!!! She reminds him he has always helped them in the past, but Father Clarence tells her a priest can only do so much. Yeah Kendall!!!! He suggests she listen to her heart, but her heart is screaming for her husband. She's not ready to say goodbye to him and let him go. He reminds her she doesn't have to and encourages her to listen to Zak's message, which is in his journal. The journal opens to a specific page and as Kendall reads it, Father Clarence poof disappears. Kendall reads Zak's words, which point out Fusion is her safe haven and where she finds her way again. Later Erica shows up but Kendall isn't there! Father Clarence is!!! Erica finally meets the good father. He says he knows Erica is a generous, caring, strong woman who will do anything to protect the people she loves. He brings up Jack and how much he loves her, but Clarence thinks her heart is taking her to a place she never expected to go. Chandler Mansion: Colby gives Asher a Christmas present. Oh it's sneakers. Why Colby? Does his other sneakers make his feet stink? She asks if he is going to see his father. Asher says he doesn't care about him, but Colby says yes you do. Colby gets a call from Opal who is volunteering at the hospital and needs some backup. Before she leaves, Colby encourages him to call Caleb. Asher starts to dial, but then puts his phone back in his pocket. The park: Madison is out!!!! Greenlee tries to wake her up. She then tries to call for help when Madison wakes up!!! She is so very worried about her baby. Greenlee helps her up so she can take her to the hospital. The hospital: Colby finds Caleb looking at the newborns and quickly calls Asher. Hey I thought Colby as supposed to be volunteering?! Well anyway she calls Asher and tells him to get there quickly. Colby leaves him alone with Caleb, who invites him to watch over the babies with him. Caleb tells Asher how small and perfect Asher looked as a baby. Caleb thought he'd be better off without him, but he was wrong. Awww! Come on now HUG! Caleb apologizes, but Asher just walks away. Colby stops him and informs him that Caleb donated money to the neonatal unit in honor of his mother Sonia And there is a plaque!! Aww! Meanwhile Greenlee learns Madison and the baby will be fine!!!! Madison thanks her for bringing her to the hospital. She admits that before tonight, the baby didn't seem real, but now that she could have lost it, she knows she wants her baby. However, she doesn't want anything from Ryan and would like to just leave Pine Valley, but she can't afford it. OY! She also said that she never had anything that was just hers!!!! Uh Madison? The baby is Ryan's too!!! Not just yours!!! Greenlee offers to help her find a job and an apartment in New York. Madison accepts because it's too hard to be around Ryan. Oh boo hoo!!!! Tell him he is the father damn it! Greenlee makes her promise not to ever let Ryan find out about his. Oh Greenlee!! If you don't tell super hero Ryan and he finds out, oh boy!!! He won't be happy!!! Madison says she owes her for saving her in the park tonight, so this is their secret. Frankie and Randi rush to Madison's side and learn she wants to keep her baby. And she gets an ultrasound. The park: Asher is at the bench and Colby shows up. Uh and again I ask, aren't you supposed to be volunteering Colby?! Asher tells her he might have been wrong about Caleb. Wildwind: Caleb tells the portrait of Palmer he will fight for his son no matter what it takes. YAY! Fusion: Greenlee calls Ryan to tell him she's stopping at Fusion cus she forgot Christmas gifts, and will be home shortly. She gets on the elevator, but it gets stuck. DOH! Kendall shows up and hears her yelling for help. Kendall is angry with Greenlee, who vows she would take away her pain if she could because she loves her. Oh there is so much gushing in this scene! UGH! Greenlee wishes she were dead instead of Zak, but Kendall doesn't want her to die because she loves her too. UGH! Kendall calls an elevator repairman to get Greenlee out. Once she's free, Greenlee feels horrible Kendall had to save her once again. So much boo hooing and gushing! BLECH! Kendall assures her friend they are fine and cries as she admits Greenlee isn't the reason Zak is gone. She's angry, but she never should have blamed her. She misses her friend and hugs Greenlee, who says through tears this is all she ever wanted for Christmas. BLECH! Hey where is the repairman? ROFL! He went into the elevator to try to fix it and poof he is gone! Was he sick of hearing the gushing too? Kendall thinks Zak sent her there to find her and wants to think of this as a Christmas miracle. Casa D Lavery: Emma tells Ryan and Jack she wants a baby sister. DOH! Well you will be getting one soon! Ryan tells her their family is perfect the way it is and Emma heads off to bed. Jack asks Ryan if he's okay with Greenlee not being able to have children. Ryan just needs to be with Greenlee because he loves her. Erica rushes over to Ryan's place and jumps in Jack's arms to tell him that she loves him. Awww! YAY JERICA! Greenlee returns home with hugs for everyone, including Erica. She then reveals Kendall is with her and that they are friends again. UGH! Jack brings Erica to the rooftop so she isn't haunted by what happened up there. He assures her everything will be alright. Awww! Yeah it's very therapeutic for Erica.

Ryan McBride/Staff photographer Peg Johnson, right, greets Elodie Hutchings, left, and Haylee Lapiana as she helped host the Fairy Princess Tea Party at the VFW Post 1772 in Rochester Saturday morning.
ROCHESTER — "Do you know Tinkerbell?"This question was on the mind of three-year-old Aubrey Ramsey when she, dressed in a sparkly pink, ruffled dress and shimmering silver shoes, met Fairy Princess Fiona.Aubrey, twirling around as she listened to Princess Fiona's answers was delighted to learn fairies are real, at least for the two hour tea party event held at the Rochester VFW on Highland Street to benefit the Junior Girls Program, a youth program under the leadership of the Ladies Auxiliary.Princess Fiona, brought to life by Peg Johnson, was apparently familiar with Tinkerbell as young Aubrey suspected. She told Aubrey it was Tinkerbell who'd stolen the gold shoes she'd wanted to wear Saturday.The fundraiser will help make possible a trip for members of the Junior Girls Program to Kentucky for a VFW annual convention.Ladies Auxiliary President, Donna Knapper, said the girls, ages five to 16, volunteer at a variety of veterans events with the auxiliary.Though the tea party is intended for the youngsters dressed head to toe as fairy princesses, the girls hosting the event said they really enjoy it, too.
"Seeing all the pretty girls come in dressed up and get their nails done and face painted is really fun," Bonnie Nicholas, 16, junior girls president, said."We just do a lot of fun stuff," she said.Nail and face painting were just some of the fun offered to visitors. Other activities included coloring and cookie decorating.Ellie Delworth, 7, and sister Alyssa Morse, 6, were dressed in fancy outfits complete with tiny crowns atop their heads. Jenny Morse, mother, said they both liked to dress up in the princess outfits.Their aunt, Jes Bryant, said she learned about the event on Facebook and thought it would be fun for the girls to attend."Anything for a good cause," she said.

text: Hello world I've been using zlib-1.2.5 for a few days and something I've noticed is that Firefox has become quite crashy (particularly when I try to download something). Thunderbird has also become crashy, there are some emails which cause it to crash as soon as I try to view them. Both Firefox and Thunderbird were compiled with --enable-system-zlib so to see if it was due to the new zlib I recompiled everything (with zlib-1.2.4) and they haven't crashed since. Has anyone else had any problems with zlib-1.2.5? Andy

Kenwright calls for investor
04 Sep 2008 - 08:01:00
Everton owner Bill Kenwright has reiterated his desire to find a billionaire buyer for the club after admitting he is a "pauper" in relation to some of his Premier League counterparts.
Speaking at an EGM on Wednesday evening, the Toffees chairman offered a frank assessment of his ability to take the club forward following a summer where they have struggled to attract top-quality players to Goodison Park.
"I cannot go on like this," said Kenwright. "We need a new owner and we will continue to try to find one.
"I cannot see an alternative. This summer's transfer window has been the worst and most difficult I can remember.
"Now Arabs have bought Manchester City, making it even more difficult for Everton football club. I am a pauper when it comes to other chairmen.
"I want this club to have its billionaire, but it is not me. My shareholding has been for sale from the day I bought in.
"Every year it becomes more difficult to find the money. It is impossible to continue in the financial way we are at the moment."
Meanwhile, acting chief executive Robert Elstone has defended the club's proposed plan to relocate to a new stadium outside of the Liverpool city boundary.
The proposed move to Kirkby has been criticised by some supporters who want the club to remain at their traditional Goodison Park home.
"We believe that there is no other financially available option in Liverpool. We have been offered only two other sites in the city and they were not viable," he said.
"If we try to develop Goodison Park, we will have to revise our club budget and expectation.
"It will cost £230million to rebuild Goodison Park and that is not viable.
"The board will not put this club at risk and we retain our commitment to Kirkby."

Skin Blues wrote:Only 5 baserunners allowed through 6 innings, and it took him 98 pitches. To be honest, I'd be pretty happy with that all season. Might lose a win or two, but since every pitching stat in a roto league is basically on a per-inning basis, going one less inning per game is in a way a bonus. He probably wouldn't be able to maintain that K-rate if he attacked the zone more and went deeper into games.

Valhalla: BreakHe was kneeling on the beach with his back to her when she saw him.She moved quietly. Once in a while, Valhalla fell silent as their war came to a temporary halt. He rarely left her alone, getting into petty squabbles, then violent wars, just to pass the time. There was very little else to do except destroy half the city in exponentially creative ways. Because of all her running around, all this fighting, she never had time to examine the terrain. It was only now, while she stood at the top of the beach, that she saw the crystals, scattered in a rainbow of colors across the sand, twinkling faintly in the gloom.She waited a bit to see what he would do. Usually, he gave himself a bit of quiet time before returning to normalcy. She expected him to leap up at any second.Rarely did he remain inactive this long. Neither of them needed rest, of course, which meant that in theory they could go on fighting for eternity. Already, the length of time he had spent there without moving was seepin
Cordially Invited, Part 1Caius & Lightning AU | Cordially InvitedThe paper between her fingertips felt crisp, the title of her high school embossed on the beautiful ivory card, her name written in black cursive by someone's talented hand – her real name, not her self-chosen title – on a straight golden line situated a short distance beneath a holly wreath embossed in gold and red about midway down. It felt like a waste to do anything but prop the thing up on her mantle (if she had one) and admire it. It was that beautiful, and even she couldn't ignore something so beautiful."Really, guys?" she muttered.Beautiful or not, though, it was an invitation to something she'd rather they'd have not even bothered with. In many flouncy words, it invited her to a spontaneous reunion of her high school class over in the smallish city of Academia a few miles from the crystal pillar's base. Since the reunion was so close to the be
Xanadu, Part ICaius x Lightning | Set 1-4 of 26 | XanaduAffectionThey touched like ripples on a pond, his left hand holding her right wrist in an iron grip while she did the same to him, staring at each other with uncertainty. This was dangerous; they knew it like they knew the patterns of their own breathing. Too long, and the willingness to forget the past would overrule common sense. They would throw down their swords.Caius wasn't sure he wanted that. This endless war gave him purpose. It gave him the feeling of being alive. Yet he couldn't take his eyes from hers, in love with her beauty, tenacity, intelligence. She gave him more purpose than just waiting to die. They were stubborn, headstrong, and far too devoted to their causes. And different. She was the cold wind bringing the chill of winter and ice, stoic, emotions buried deep inside her. He was the sun, fiery and passionate, always fighting to control the emotions raging within him. He could s
A New FutureLightning x Caius | A New FutureAfter a battle that took forever, Lightning dragged herself into the remains of the temple and collapsed to her knees under the star-filled sky.For a short while, it was peaceful. Body sore, arms and legs aching, she stayed there, half-stooped, her breathing still somewhat labored. Her rival had beaten her down more harshly than usual and made sure she got slammed into the ground harder than ever. Though she had finally kicked him into the sea and punched her sword clean through his chest, stopping his human heart, she knew he wouldn't stay down for long, and in a bit he'd be back.But Lightning had long ago lost her will to fight. She knew how this would end. She knew that no matter what she did, he would win.She rubbed one arm across her forehead, wiping away the sweat.There was more to it than that, though. Beneath the razor wire and steel walls guarding her heart, there was a special, deep, silent secret no one knew and only she had
Divisions of Time--Chapter 6The VillageSerah stared at the back of Noel's head, struggling to suppress the pity in her heart. None of this was real, of course, or else Noel would be able to see her and Caius would've at least noticed her. The only hole in that idea, though, was that the girl had seen her. She knew she had. But if this was hundreds of years in her future, how could Yeul have actually, truly seen her?Noel finished his mourning, picking the girl's lifeless body off the dirt and walking into the settlement. In the pale moonlight as the celestial body tracked across the sky, Serah saw stones, chunks of wood, spots where the ground had been disturbed, lining the pathway. Two fresh graves had been dug and patted down, marked with tree branches stuck in the ground. Noel laid the girl on the ground and proceeded to dig a third grave beside the others with his bare hands, which didn't take long because the soil was so weak and dead. Once it was deep enough, he placed her in it and pushed th
Divisions of Time--Chapter 5No Waiting for Late RisersLightning hauled herself out of bed in a panic, noting the sunrise outside her window. Running her fingers through her hair, throwing her clothes on, and locking her door hurriedly, she was still groggy even when she finally reached the plaza near the city entrance.Caius was already there, well-rested and bright-eyed, and gave her a haughty smirk as she approached. It set her teeth on edge."You made it barely," he said.Oh, shut up. "Guess I was, uh, more tired than I " A yawn caught her by surprise; she struggled to finish it even as her charge continued smirking at her. Would it be a violation of her Focus to crack him in the teeth? "I was way more tired'n I thought."As he sighed and looked away, she noticed there were two others in the group: a young woman with sunburned shoulders and blonde-streaked brown hair and a hunter she recognized from the previous day. All of them looked energetic; Lightning groaned inwardly.The other woman
Divisions of Time--Chapter 3-----------------FraysLightning quickly suppressed her violent instincts, flexing her fingers instead. Caius looked roughly the same age he had become immortal at, carrying himself differently in this past age with his shoulders back and the usual haughty look replaced by something more neutral. His outfit bared his upper arms and the inside of his forearms, with nearly-healed marks and scratches on the skin. One shoulder was faintly bruised. It seemed the outfit, which was essentially a purple-white-and-black version of a modern Farseer hunter's guise, was meant to look intimidating. The effect was not lost on her.Instead of bowing in respect like the girls, she looked him right in the eye."You must be the Haerii warrioress." He planted a fist in his hip, looking suddenly lazy. "There's no need to look so hostile. You aren't going anywhere."Lightning wondered if he thought she was going to try to escape. "I'm good."He cocked an eyebrow, but didn't pursue the matter.
Like Yesterday's DreamKain x Lightning | Like Yesterday's Dream"Hey, purple wonder."For the past ten minutes, it'd been extremely peaceful, really, with a nice wind blowing off the mesa and the smell of the land below hanging thick in the air. For ten minutes, more than he was usually given in this arena of endless battle, he could get his thoughts organized again. There was no telling just how long it would be before the next battle was called and he was rotated in. That was his lot in life.Kain just wanted peace and quiet, but it looked about to be interrupted.Again."Lightning," was his greeting, glancing over his shoulder at the woman. She looked tired, eyes soggy with sleep.As she drew closer, rubbing her left eye with the heel of her palm, he wondered about the name. "Purple wonder"? It wasn't the most creative name he'd been called, but it seemed oddly good-natured coming from this woman. He seemed to have developed a reputation within this cycle already, though it had just began b
Hearts in Chaos--chapter 2020 ForgivenessThe next few days passed slowly. Each sunrise felt like someone had knifed him in the gut and then kicked it in until he couldn't dig it out. Despite his insistence that she work alone for the rest of the week, Caius returned out of an obligation to his job. However, he kept his distance, still angry, but at himself. It hurt every time she looked at him, and far worse when she refused. She handled the recruits alone, and Caius stayed away from her, not so much angry now as not feeling much at all. The days went by slowly and the sky cleared up, and Friday evening the two went home without having said a word to each other since Wednesday.Saturday morning, Caius got up and went into the house at six, the sun beginning to rise.Snow was awake, barely, and blankly stared into his coffee. The smell of it permeated the house; Caius gave him a small berth as he inspected the brew. It was dark and rich, which he liked, but he wasn't really in the m
