FIC: Touch and Other Unnatural Phenomenon: 2/?: NC-17: Rogue, L/R, others
Expand Messages
- Title: Touch and Other Unnatural Phenomenon 2/?
Series: Sequel to Instinct
Author: jenn (jenn@...)
Codes: Rogue, Logan/Rogue, others
Rating: NC-17, light humor
Summary: The first four months with a new baby and other scary and
unexpected things.
Author Notes: Instinct didn't really need a sequel and I never seriously
thought of writing one. But my darling Sare weeks ago wanted a pick-me-up
and I'm SUCH a sucker for her being cute and writing Liquid!Sex (go ahead,
ask. <g>). Foof. Serious foof in saccharine quantities, with tiny bits
of angst sprinkled through to make a good mix. Think stew.
Dedication: Sare for the beta, Beth, Ally, and Ann, for support, Molly for
everything she wrote that reminds me of just how wonderful L/R can be
(specially the latest that I haven't feedbacked yet, sorry). Thanks.
Archiving: Feel free, just tell me where.
Disclaimer: I don't own them, just play with them. They're always
returned in the same condition I found them in--though probably tired out.
Sorry 'bout that.
Feedback: With soda, accepted happily
One month after James was born, my parents reappeared in my life.
Now, I won't say that they have an instinct for grandchildren--but does
anyone besides me find it all too convenient that, after four years of
silence broken only by highly stilted biannual phone conversations and the
occasional curious question as to if I was 'cured' yet, they show up a
*month* after my son was born?
The last time I'd talked to them had been well before I became pregnant--I
think that backs up my grandchild-instinct theory pretty damn well. I was
in the garden with Logan and James and glanced up--and there they were.
Ten feet away, the Professor just behind them.
Four hundred and forty four thoughts chased through my head all at once and
I couldn't settle on a single one. Shit, I wasn't ready for this.
Years of memories flooded me with that voice, heard live and in full color,
so to speak, for the first time in years. My mother's voice in the hall,
arguing with my father what they were going to do about me--night after
night while I curled up in my bed under layers of blankets and a half a
dozen pajamas and shirts and sweaters and gloves, wishing I could just die.
I took a breath, trying to think of something to say--anything,
really--when Logan looked up from another long contemplation of James'
endlessly interesting characteristics (infant growling, kicking his feet,
gas, things Logan finds amazingly absorbing entertainment. Double hmm).
Caught the unfamiliar sounds and scents of approaching people, tensed
automatically beside me.
Still in mission-mode. Not a good start.
It took him less than a second to identify them--I looked a lot like my
mother. Hazel eyes narrowed for a moment as he took their measure,
instinctively evaluating them for potential threat. I could have told him
my physical well-being wasn't the issue--my emotional, however, was falling
to pieces around me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice just a little too high to
really be anywhere near being mistaken for casual and my body, all of its
own accord, began to press backwards. Logan's hand closed over my thigh
before I could fall over him and James trying to retreat, and both my
parents froze as they came from behind the wealth of bushes and flowers to
get an unimpeded view. Which, granted, had to be just a little surreal,
since Logan had just returned from a mission and was still in his uniform
pants and boots, though the top was hanging over a convenient bush. Large,
slightly growly, sweaty, hairy male in a t-shirt and leather pants playing
with a one month old--yeah, okay, so I could see their point. I'd even
taken a picture and the camera was beside my leg.
Ah, those Kodak moments.
My father frowned at Logan, at the gloved hand that still rested on my leg.
Just like old Dad, focus on the small and insignificant to play down the
significant. Why on earth would it matter if there was someone touching
"Who the hell are you?"
Under normal circumstances, this would have degenerated quickly. But James
sighed and gurgled something (gas again?), instantly reminding Logan of his
presence. With a glance at me, he slowly sat back and waited for me to
handle it. Stand-by rather than full alert, so to speak.
This could have been one of those times I wouldn't have minded if Logan
handled it for me. Being a grown-up and equal and all that crap really
sucked sometimes.
"Hi, Mom, Dad." Thinking, I'm married, this is my husband and son, why the
hell are you here, the biannual phone call really was plenty of contact,
thank you very much. The Professor had always thought I should mend my
fences--Logan was against that, and I understood his reasoning completely.
He'd never forgiven them for throwing me out on my own. This attitude was
formed long before we became 'we', the very first time the Professor
mentioned that I might be interested in re-establishing connection a few
weeks before my eighteenth birthday, when his one letter to my parents (by
my consent, in case they still cared I was alive) was answered.
The Professor thought I should try and mend the fences, placing the
envelope before me like a talisman, proof of my former life, of
possibilities I'd given up on.
It was one of the few times Logan actually went flat against the
Professor's recommendation and meant it. I'd seen them argue before, of
course, over all manner of silly and not-so-silly things. From the
mundane, such as whether or not I should live at home or get my own
apartment in the city when I started college (Logan--home, security, fewer
idiots, better food; Prof--apartment, independence, experience, closer to
school) to the theoretical (my first mission, Logan insisted on going on as
my mentor and basically watchdog; the Prof wanted to send Scott).
Never before or since, however, had it been a non-negotiable,
no-talk-it-through-for-an-acceptable-compromise--the Professor would *not*
tell my parents where I was until the second I was ready. Not an address
or a phone number, not a way to trace me or find me. His words, verbatim.
Simple result of breaking that was a Marie-and-Logan disappearing act for
keeps, and the Professor understood that wasn't a threat at all. That was
a completely sincere promise.
I'd sat in the big easy chair in the corner while they hashed it out and
nodded along, and Logan took me out for ice cream and asked me for the
first time what happened during the months I was on the road before finding
him. And for the first time, I wanted to tell.
After I finished high school and in my first year of college, I used a
campus phone to call them, using the number the Professor had given me,
eyes shut against the noon sun and hunched into the booth, my heart beating
so hard it was a toss-up as to whether I'd be able to hear anyone's voice
if the phone picked up. My mother answered and for some reason, I'd almost
started to cry.
I was getting that feeling again.
"Fuck," Logan murmured, eyes flicking to me briefly. So Logan had no
enthusiasm for seeing my parents show up. The softest of warning growls,
the hand on my thigh tightening briefly, before he gave me a long look that
said more than anything he could have told me that it was my decision.
But he'd never forgive. Never. Doubly so with James now laying inches
away, proof of what parenthood was to him. He'd kill and die for James
without even a thought. He didn't understand, couldn't understand.
And looking down at James, neither could I.
"Marie." My mother's voice was soft, and her eyes went back down to the
James--I followed her gaze and saw Logan tickling James' stomach while he
waved tiny hands in the air, growling cheerfully.
My father was still looking at Logan. I reached down, covering Logan's
hand with mine. Took a long breath. I could do this. I wasn't sixteen
"Why are you here?"
They were staring at Logan touching me--couldn't imagine anyone wanting to,
not with what I was. I could read it in their eyes.
"You--you're cured?" Edged with hope, with happiness lighting their eyes,
maybe their daughter was finally normal, maybe they could finally admit
they had a daughter, maybe she wasn't a freak of nature--*fuck*.
It hurt to see that light die.
I wanted to say--look, see, I'm not so terrible, not so horrible, am I?
Screw you for not wanting me, he did, they did, everyone else here did.
But a breath, a moment to recenter myself, and I was back in control.
James reached up tiny hands towards me, and I leaned down, carefully
supporting his head as I picked him up, remembering Logan showing me the
illustrated guide to baby care that described--in detail--the proper way to
hold an infant.
I needed those memories to remind myself who I was now.
"He's tired," I said softly--maybe my parents heard or not, it didn't
matter. The silky-soft cheek was pressed against mine, and the wide blue
eyes were crinkling closed as I rocked him. Curling a hand under him to
rub the small of his back, I shut my eyes tight and tried to think.
I didn't want James here for this, that was for certain. No way on this
side of hell.
Jean's sensitivity to emotion was perhaps what brought her out--or maybe
the Professor gave her a heads-up and Jean's perceptive as hell anyway. I
could only be mutely grateful. Taking the edge of the blanket, I curled it
around my hand so I wouldn't brush her accidentally and Logan helped me
stand up. Gently, Jean took James and cradled him close, eyes fixed on
"He's sleeping," I told her unnecessarily. She nodded, feeling everything
I couldn't say, understanding.
"I'll lay him down with Nathan." A glance at my parents, then a slightly
raised brow, before pulling the blanket over James' eyes so the sun
wouldn't wake him during their walk. With another smile, she left the
garden as quietly as she had come.
My mother's eyes followed her, and there was something in them that made
the knife twist a little deeper.
She wanted her grandson.
Somewhere in me, I was sixteen and unwanted and tossed out of my home,
because I was no daughter of theirs. Shit.
"What do you want?" I asked firmly, and Logan's gloved fingers laced
through mine, silent support for whatever I chose to do--though I got the
distinct impression that if I wanted to throw them out he'd cheerfully hold
open the gate. Taking a breath, I thought again--hard.
The question might very well be, what do *I* want? Damned if I had an
"We--we wanted to see you, sugar." I shivered at the endearment.
Flat silence--I supposed they remembered my note on the bedside table, the
hasty, wet scrawl of a cross between a good-bye and raw rage translated to
paper, the name signed at the bottom. I looked between them, trying to
read them, define their motivations, something--but my brain was shut down,
too shocked, too angry, too afraid. I couldn't do this now. I simply
couldn't. And call it weakness or childishness or anything you want, but I
wasn't ready--I needed time. Logan knew it, felt it in the grip of my
fingers and turned us both so my back was to them, touching my face
"You don't have to do this." Voice soft, pitched for me alone. I shut my
eyes, leaning briefly against his shoulder. God, he understood. "You
don't need to do this. You can walk away."
There's nothing on earth like your unwanted past coming back to haunt you.
Nothing. Staring up at Logan, at a man who wanted his past so badly it
kept him up at night--it couldn't have been easy to say that. But he
believed it. For me.
"I can't--"
"Marie--" My father, and my eyes burned--oh God, I was going to cry. Too
much. No, not here, not in front of them, I couldn't do that, I didn't
want to do that. Logan's hand dropped from my face, resting on my hip for
a moment, looking down at me for a long moment. Then the slightest nod,
before he lifted his head.
"Tomorrow." Flat voice, no compromise. "You wanna stay until then, talk
to the Professor." And he took the decision out of my hands and turned us
both toward the garden gate.
"Who the hell are you to speak for her?"
Logan turned briefly, and I'd never heard him sound like that before this
moment--not when he went against Magneto, Sabretooth or Mystique or any
anti-mutant idiot. No one.
"Her husband."
Carefully, I opened the door, peering inside, waiting for my vision to
adjust to the lack of light.
Shit. Logan was asleep.
Now, given, the danger of actually being impaled had diminished over time.
Logan had taken in my scent for long enough that his unconscious mind never
interpreted me as a threat, even during the worst of his nightmares that I
woke him from. When I went to sleep right beside him, that is.
Things got trickier when he went to sleep and I wasn't there at the time.
Not that anything like mortal wounding had ever happened--but the danger
factor was still around. And James *wasn't* in the room, which meant my
restless little darling was quite asleep. So getting Logan up was going to
be difficult. I couldn't just yell--I had to be sneaky.
Sneaky. Hmmm.
Logan slept lightly, most of the time. But the last months since James'
birth (not to mention the utterly tension-filled three months beforehand),
had worn down even his energy level, and he was likely to sleep harder now
than before. On the upside, he rarely had nightmares when he was truly
exhausted. A nice boon we'd noted early on in our relationship--a lot of
sex before sleeping also seemed to have a positive effect on his sleep
On the downside, it might take some serious planning to get him awake
without rousing James, the school, or most of the state of New York.
That's okay--I'm an X-Man. I can plan.
First things first--shower. I had Sabreblood on me, not exactly prime
Logan-arousal scent--at least, not the kind of arousal I was going for.
There was also the off-chance that the sounds of the shower would wake him
up. Good to go. I stripped my boots at the door, pulling off my top and
pants as I walked, then my socks, putting them all in the laundry bag in
the bathroom and flipping on the hot water.
Bra next (what, you think I grabbed panties before I left? Ha.), then
stepped inside and grabbed the nearest bottle of shower gel. Melon.
A quick scrub, and since I was in the shower anyway (and on the off-chance
Toad-vomit- scent clung), I washed my hair, then quickly rinsed off and
climbed out, grabbing a towel from the rack and drying myself as I emerged
from the bathroom, pulling my hair up in it when I was done. No more
Sabreblood or sweat or Toad-vomit (ick, yes, but GOD it was fun to watch
him squirm!) or anything else, just me.
And no Logan awake, pantingly eager to resume Sex Night. Damn.
Now for my equipment of seduction. Not that technically I needed it--four
months, for God's sake, he'd gotten seriously turned on watching me try on
shoes earlier that week--but I was all for making marriage full of the
unexpected. Bustier first--nice, left an inch of skin exposed between it's
edge and the tights. Check. Black reinforced silk tights. Check. Black
gloves. Check. One box of condoms--check--hmmm, better make it two.
Black heels. Oh yes, check. New black scarf, wrapped around throat
sensuously, check.
He was going to like this. I just had to wake him up enough to enjoy it.
Or at least enough so I could enjoy it.
As I walked out of the closet, I took in the sight of my sleeping lover.
He looked so much like James when he slept. Same crinkled eyes, flat on
his back, bonelessly relaxed in deep sleep. He's the only person I'd ever
met who still could sleep like that.
Note--don't think of son while trying to decide best way to waken husband
for Great Sex.
Decisions, decisions.
Carefully, I drew the blanket away. Grinned when I noted he'd gone to bed
naked. Good man. Very good man. Very convenient too.
Slowly, I pulled off my scarf.
Even a feral sleeping Logan couldn't consider oral sex a threat.
Logan had strong opinions on what to do about the parent situation. Very
strong. Perhaps even edging into adamant, without compromise or recourse.
Such a surprise.
"Tell them to leave."
I shut my eyes, laying back on the bed, drumming my heels against the
frame, staring up at the elegantly tiled ceiling for inspiration. This
wasn't going to be easy.
"It's not that simple, sugar--"
"It *is* that simple." He was pacing--and God, he was actually jerking
when he moved. Beyond angry. Beyond pissed. Beyond anything I'd ever
seen in him--and I sat up to watch him, fascinated despite myself.
"Logan, they're my parents. I can't--"
"They abandoned you." Flat condemnation. Nothing else needed.
"They threw you out--shit, baby, you could have died out there and who the
hell would have known? Eight fucking months alone--you were barely sixteen
and you weren't--"
He turned to look at me. mouth set.
"I don't want them near you, near our son, period. That's it, Marie.
That's the short version."
I didn't even want to hear the long. Logan has a fabulous memory--give him
a few hours, I could probably hear the entire re-telling of my life to this
point and every single situation I had been injured in or could have died
in marked out with special attention to circumstances and ways it could
have been avoided.
"I didn't die."
"You could have." Arguing this was going to be pointless, I could already
see it.
"Logan, I'm not saying I want them at Christmas or to visit regularly or
"At all."
Shit. This wasn't going to work, and why the hell couldn't he listen to
"You don't control me."
Oh dear *God*, that was the wrong thing to say. That was *so* the wrong
thing to say, so much so that I knew the second the words escaped my mouth
that this was jumping to worse. He turned on me, dropping onto the desk in
a single motion, and the hazel eyes fixed on mine with an intensity that
chilled me.
He'd never looked at me like that before.
"I've never tried to. Ever." Eerily quiet, controlled. Pre-rage. When
he was doing his ultra-control thing, when somewhere in his head he was
carefully chanting his mantra before he became seriously destructive. When
Wolverine would make an unscheduled appearance and pretty much end anything
resembling rational conversation.
"I know--" Appeasement--
"I've never tried to run your life. I've never tried to force you into
anything you didn't want to do."
--was not going to work.
"I never thought I had the right to decide what the fuck you do with your
life. I never even fucking tried."
Logan had never seemed particularly sensitive either about the age
difference or the fact that he was, for all intents and purposes, my
protector long before he was anything else (the Mansion's efforts
notwithstanding). A good thing or our relationship might have had some
serious issues along the way.
But it *was* a sensitive spot, apparently, and hell, I'd never even
guessed. Yay for me, I'd managed to screw with his head on top of him
having to see the two people he blamed for the fact that I currently hosted
two extra personalities in my head. Great. Just great. Real good, I was
going to end up in divorce court the way I was going here.
"Logan, I know that. I've always known that. I'm sorry--that came out
wrong." I stood up, shakily crossing the room before gingerly sitting down
on his lap. A pause, then he slid his arms around me, pulling me
bruisingly close--
--my parents had reminded him how many times he'd almost lost me. Shit.
I'd managed to really wreck things.
"But this time is different, Marie. This isn't just you either--you bring
me and James along on this one."
I sighed, turning my head into his shoulder, trying to pull something
together. Because, and this was the kicker, Logan *was* a parent, so he
saw things from that point of view and couldn't understand. But he didn't
*have* parents, he couldn't remember being anyone's son. The whole concept
was foreign to him.
"Logan, I want you to listen. If--" I took a breath, let it out, making up
my mind. "If you feel the same after I'm done, I'll do what you want,
okay? I'll tell the Professor to send them away and I'll never contact
them again."
He tensed beneath me briefly, weighing the options in his head, then
relaxed, stroking my hair back.
A pause, while I gathered my thoughts. Then I sat up, resting a hand on
his shoulder, meeting his eyes. He needed to see this as well as feel it.
"What they did is unforgivable. I know. I can't--can't forgive them
either, not yet. Maybe not ever. Not completely. Not--not for keeps.
But--" I took a breath, thinking of James. "They're still my parents. I'm
not--I'm not saying that they should be around all the time, or that we
visit weekly, or phone calls every day. I can't handle that, not from them.
But this is part of my past, sugar--I can't turn away from that and think
I'm doing the right thing. They--they get tomorrow, okay? I'll go alone--"
"Fuck that."
Oh. Not alone. Okay.
"With you, just me and you and them. That's it. They can talk. And I
can--I can think about what they say after, okay? Give me time to think
about them, what they want to say, if they're--"
"If they're sorry for almost getting you killed a few times?"
I bit my lip.
I needed this. God, I wished they hadn't come, that they hadn't suddenly
decided that this was the moment they needed to reappear in my life after a
good MIA stretch. But they *were* here. He had to understand how
important the past could be. He had to.
"I need to know why. Why me being a mutant made them hate me. Wh-what was
so wrong with me, that it was enough that--if--if being a mutant was all it
took to hate me so much." I drew in a breath--even to my own ears, my
voice was getting shaky. "Wh-wh-why they stopped loving me, so I know what
I did--"
Funniest thing, until that moment, I never realized how very many ways this
little visit was going to screw with me.
"God, baby." He drew my head back down, sliding his fingers through my
hair. "There's nothing wrong with you. They were--shit, baby, you're
"You always say that."
"I'm right, too."
"You're a little prejudiced."
A pause.
"You're afraid."
I burrowed into Logan's shoulder and he pried me up, holding my face
between his hands, staring into my eyes for a long time. I should have
known I couldn't hide this from him indefinitely.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I need to know so much--I need to know these things." I felt myself begin
to tremble, tightened my hold on his shoulder. "I need to know that it
wasn't my fault--"
"It wasn't--"
"That there wasn't something wrong with me, that made me--"
"Shit." He got it, I could see it reflected in his eyes and I wanted to
hide. "You think one day I'll walk on you? This is what it's about?"
They had me sixteen years before I manifested--how could they hate me just
for that? Sixteen years versus one single episode, one change. I couldn't
understand that and I needed to.
"No." Maybe. "I--but one day, maybe--I mean if even my parents hated what
I am so much, how do I know one day you won't--you won't start hating what
I am too? I don't--I know you'd never leave me, but--but I don't want you
to stay because of obligation either." I took a breath, let it out slowly.
"I know I'm being silly, it's knee-jerk, you know? It's just--"
"I understand." Logan looked thoughtful, then traced my face with a
finger. "And you're right. We'll talk to them tomorrow."
Wow. That was extremely unexpected. I stared at his chest (great view, by
the way), wondering what he was thinking.
"You don't have to--"
A slow, wolfish smile.
"Oh yeah, I do."

1 MY FAVORITE NUMBERS: John Baez September 19, 2008 The Rankin Lectures Supported by the Glasgow Mathematical Journal Trust
2 People have liked the numbers 12 and 24 for a long time: But their real magic is only becoming clear now.
3 Around 1735, Leonhard Euler gave a bizarre proof that = 1 12 Later the mathematician Abel wrote: The divergent series are the invention of the devil, and it is a shame to base on them any demonstration whatsoever. But Euler s equation has been made rigorous and it explains why bosonic string theory works well only in = 26 dimensions!
4 In 1875, Édouard Lucas challenged his readers to prove this: A square pyramid of cannon balls contains a square number of cannon balls only when it has 24 cannon balls along its base = 70 2
5 Indeed, the only integer solution of n 2 = m 2 not counting the silly ones n = 0 and n = 1, is n = 24! It looks like a curiosity, but this solution gives the densest lattice packing of spheres in 24 dimensions! And when we combine this idea with bosonic string theory in 26 dimensions, all heaven breaks loose! But we re getting ahead of ourselves...
6 EULER S CRAZY CALCULATION Euler started with this: 1 + x + x 2 + x 3 + = 1 1 x He differentiated both sides: 1 + 2x + 3x = (1 x) 2 He set x = 1 and got this: = 1 4
7 Then Euler considered this function: ζ(s) = 1 s + 2 s + 3 s + 4 s + He multiplied by 2 s : 2 s ζ(s) = 2 s + 4 s + 6 s + 8 s + Then he subtracted twice the second equation from the first: (1 2 2 s )ζ(s) = 1 s 2 s + 3 s 4 s +
8 Taking this result: (1 2 2 s )ζ(s) = 1 s 2 s + 3 s 4 s + and setting s = 1, he got: 3( ) = Since he already knew the right-hand side equals 1/4, he concluded: = 1 12
9 Euler s calculation looks crazy, but it can be made rigorous! The sum 1 s + 2 s + 3 s + 4 s + converges for Re(s) > 1 to an analytic function: the Riemann zeta function, ζ(s). This function can be analytically continued to s = 1, and one can prove ζ( 1) = 1 12 But why does this make bosonic string theory work well in 26 dimensions?
10 GROUND STATE ENERGY According to quantum mechanics, a harmonic oscillator that vibrates with frequency ω can have energy 1 2 ω, ( )ω, ( )ω, ( )ω,... in units where Planck s constant equals 1. The lowest energy is not zero! It s 1 2 ω. This is called the ground state energy of the oscillator.
11 A violin string that only wiggles up and down can still vibrate with different frequencies: In suitable units, these are ω = 1, 2, 3,...
12 So, a string that can only wiggle in one direction is the same as an infinite collection of oscillators with frequencies ω = 1, 2, 3,.... When we have a bunch of oscillators, their ground state energies add. So, the ground state energy of the string seems to be: 1 2 ( ) = This is the simplest example of how quantum theory is plagued by infinities.
13 But Euler s crazy calculation gives a different answer! 1 2 ( ) = 1 24 Indeed, this seems to be the correct ground state energy for a string that can wiggle in one direction. A string that can wiggle in n directions has n times as much ground state energy. A string in 26-dimensional spacetime can wiggle in all 24 directions perpendicular to its 2-dimensional surface. So, its ground state energy is 1 But what s so great about this?
14 If a string loops around in time, its surface will be a torus: Different shapes of torus happen with different probabilities, or more precisely, amplitudes. Let s see the formula for these amplitudes and see why it s only consistent when the string can wiggle in 24 directions perpendicular to its surface!
15 If our torus is formed by curling up this parallelogram: then its amplitude is: Z(t) = k where E k are the energies the string can have, summed over all states with a definite energy. e ie k t
16 This function: Z(t) = k e ie k t is called the partition function of the string. To calculate it quickly, we ll use two facts: 1) The partition function makes sense for any system with discrete energy levels. 2) When we combine a bunch of systems, we can multiply their partition functions to get the partition function of the combined system.
17 First: what s the partition function of a harmonic oscillator? An oscillator with frequency ω can have energies 1 2 ω, ( )ω, ( )ω, ( )ω,... So, its partition function is: k=0 e i(k+1 2 )ωt Summing the geometric series, we get: e i 2 ωt 1 e iωt
18 Next, what s the partition function of a string that can wiggle in one direction? It s just like a bunch of oscillators with frequencies 1, 2, 3,..., so its partition function is a product: n=1 e i 2 nt 1 e int = e i 2 ( )t n=1 1 1 e int According to Euler s crazy calculation, this equals e i 24 t n=1 1 1 e int This is the reciprocal of the Dedekind eta function which was introduced in 1877, long before string theory!
19 However, the torus coming from this parallelogram: is the same as the torus coming from this one:
20 So: our calculation only gives consistent answers if the partition function Z(t) = e i 24 t n=1 1 1 e int is unchanged when we add 2π to t. Alas, it does change: 2πi Z(t + 2π) = e 24 Z(t) But Z(t) 24 does not change! This is the partition function of 24 strings with one direction to wiggle which is just like one string with 24 directions to wiggle. So, bosonic string theory works best when spacetime has = 26 dimensions!
21 The function Z(t) 24 was famous long before string theory. Its reciprocal is called the discriminant of an elliptic curve. An elliptic curve is a torus formed by curling up a parallelogram. The discriminant is the simplest function of elliptic curves that vanishes when the parallelogram gets infinitely skinny. Why does the number 24 automatically show up when we study these ideas? The answer is easy to state... but not easy to grasp.
22 Two types of lattice in the plane have more symmetry than the rest! One has 4-fold symmetry: One has 6-fold symmetry:
23 ...and believe it or not, it all boils down to this: 4 6 = 24
24 A full explanation would be quite long... so instead, let s see how Lucas cannonball puzzle gets involved! = 70 2
25 THE LEECH LATTICE Last time we explored the densest lattice packings of spheres, up to the E 8 lattice in 8 dimensions. Lattices in dimensions that are multiples of 8 are especially interesting. The densest lattice in 24 dimensions is called the Leech lattice. In the Leech lattice, each sphere touches 196, 560 others! How can we get this lattice?
26 Start with this dot product for vectors in R 26 : a b = a 1 b a 25 b 25 a 26 b 26 Sitting inside R 26 there s the lattice II 25,1, where the a i are integers or all integers plus 1/2, and a 1 + a a 25 a 26 is even. This contains the vector Let v = (0, 1, 2, 3,..., 24, 70) Z 26 v = {a II 25,1 : a v = 0} This is a 25-dimensional lattice. Since v v = = 0 we have v v. The quotient v /v is a 24-dimensional lattice: the Leech lattice, Λ.
27 THE MONSTER Bosonic strings like 24 extra dimensions besides their own 2 to wiggle around in! So, let s cook up a theory where these extra directions form a 24-dimensional torus built from the Leech lattice: T = R 24 /Λ Even better, let s use T /Z 2, where we count points x and x as the same. In 1986, Richard Borcherds showed the resulting string theory has a colossal group of symmetries. This group is called the Monster.
28 The Monster has or approximately elements. It s the largest sporadic finite simple group. Fischer and Griess predicted its existence in 1973, and Griess constructed it in The Monster has profound but puzzling connections to elliptic curves. People call this subject Monstrous Moonshine. It may take another century to understand this.
29 So: different numbers have different personalities. Some seem boring. Others take us on amazing journeys. My favorite is
30 APPENDIX: QUATERNIONS, THE TETRAHEDRON, AND THE NUMBER 24 In the second appendix of my talk on the number 8, we saw how the unit quaternions link the dodecahedron to the E 8 lattice. Now let s see how unit quaternions link the tetrahedron to the number 24 and elliptic curves. Rotational symmetries of a regular tetrahedron give all even permutations of its 4 vertices, so these symmetries form what is called the alternating group A 4, with elements. 4!/2 = 12
31 Since the group of unit quaternions is the double cover of the 3d rotation group, there are 2 12 = 24 unit quaternions that give rotational symmetries of the tetrahedron. These form a group usually called the binary tetrahedral group. (In case you re wondering, the binary tetrahedral group is not isomorphic to the 24-element permutation group S 4, just as the binary icosahedral group is not isomorphic to the 120- element permutation group S 5.)
32 The 24 unit quaternions in the binary tetrahedral group are also the Hurwitz integers of norm 1, which I described in my last talk. There are 8 like this... ±1, ±i, ±j, ±k
33 and 16 like this... ± 1 2 ± i 2 ± j 2 ± k 2
34 ...for a total of 24: These 24 points are also the vertices of a regular polytope called the 24-cell.
35 But the really interesting thing is how the binary tetrahedral group is related to elliptic curves! The space of all elliptic curves is H/SL(2, Z), where H is the upper half of the complex plane, where our variable t lived. But SL(2, Z) doesn t act freely on H, because there are elliptic curves with extra symmetries corresponding to the square and hexagonal lattices.
36 However, the subgroup Γ(3) does act freely. This subgroup consists of integer matrices ( ) a b c d with determinant 1, such that each entry is congruent to the corresponding entry of ( ) modulo 3. The quotient H/Γ(3) is a nice space without any points of greater symmetry. In the theory of elliptic curves it s called X(3): it s the space of elliptic curves equipped with a basis for their 3-torsion.
37 The group SL(2, Z)/Γ(3) = SL(2, Z/3) acts on H/Γ(3). To get the moduli space of elliptic curves from H/Γ(3), we just need to mod out by the action of this group. But in fact, this group has 24 elements. It s the binary tetrahedral group!

The picture here is a bit misleading since it shows a violin string with its ends tied down, but we re really interested in closed strings that is, closed loops of string. However, both have vibrational modes with frequencies ω = 1, 2, 3,.... The closed string also has a mode with ω = 0, but we ignore this in our simplified treatment. In fact, we only consider right-movers : modes corresponding to the functions exp(iω(t x)) for ω = 1, 2, 3,.... For more details, an easy startingpoint is Barton Zwiebach, A First Course in String Theory, Cambridge U. Press, Cambridge, 2004.

For an introduction to partition functions see any decent introduction to statistical physics, for example F. Reif, Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics, McGraw Hill, New York, In quantum field theory the partition function is e iekt = tr(exp( iht)) k where H is an operator called the Hamiltonian, whose eigenvalues are the energies E k. In statistical physics we work instead with tr(exp( Ht)) with t > 0. However, on page 18 we ll take t to lie in the upper half of the complex plane! When it s purely imaginary, we re doing statistical mechanics as usual.
41 17. This calculation (with t replacing it) is what convinced Planck that quantum mechanics was a good idea in the first place. It helped him solve the ultraviolet catastrophe. For more, try M. S. Longair, Theoretical Concepts in Physics, Cambridge U. Press, Cambridge, Also see the Wikipedia article Planck s law of blackbody radiation. In the derivation there, vibrational modes are indexed by three numbers. That s because they re considering a 3d box of light, instead of a 1d string. They also use t where we have it, as explained above. 18. For basic facts on the Dedekind eta function see the Wikipedia article Dedekind eta function. Our variable t corresponds to the more commonly used variable 2πτ. For more, try Neal Koblitz, Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms, Springer, Berlin, Pictures of parallelograms, John Baez. Similar pictures can be found in any book on elliptic curves, but with the number 1 replacing the number 2π, because we use t = 2πτ where others use τ. See for example Anthony W. Knapp, Elliptic Curves, Princeton University Press, Princeton 1992.
42 We can think of an elliptic curve as a torus equipped with a base point and a conformal structure (a way of measuring oriented angles). Two elliptic curves count as the same if there s a conformal mapping between them that preserves the basepoint. So, rescaling a parallelogram doesn t change the elliptic curve it defines. This is why we can assume without loss of generality that our parallelogram has width equal to 1 or 2π, if we prefer. 20. Here we are secretly saying that the 24th power of the Dedekind eta function is a modular form. See the Wikipedia article Modular form. For more, see Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms, op. cit. We ve seen that any point in the upper half-plane H determines an elliptic curve, but different points of H can give the same elliptic curve. The space of all elliptic curves the so-called moduli space of elliptic curves can be identified with H modulo this action of SL(2, Z): τ aτ + b cτ + d.
43 Modular forms are functions on H that change in a specific way under these transformations. But for physics, what ultimately matters is that the partition function of the string be invariant under these transformations: only then is it a well-defined function on the moduli space of elliptic curves. The 24th power of the Dedekind eta function is not invariant. To get a partition function with this property, we would have to consider not just right-movers (see the note to page 11) but also left-movers and the mode with ω = 0. One might wonder whether we could simply ignore the string s ground state energy and leave out the pesky factor of exp( i t). However, the 24 24th power of that factor is ultimately required to obtain a partition function that is well-defined on the moduli space of elliptic curves. For more on these issues see John Baez, This Week s Finds in Mathematical Physics, Week 126 and Week See the section on the Modular discriminant in the Wikipedia article Weierstrass s elliptic function.

Here we are going to take a look at another option with our favorite style of cloth diaper, the all-in-two/snap-in-two. This particular option is the Best Bottom One Size Diapering System. This one size all-in-two system is economical, simple, and durable.
All-in-twos are like an all-in-one except they include a second piece. These diapers usually include a waterproof cover with an insert that can either lay in the cover, or snap to the cover. AI2s have become very popular since they do not require any folding or pocket stuffing.
See also >>>> Cloth Diapering FAQs
Best Bottom All-in-Two features:
- One size fits most (8-35 lbs)
- Three rows of snaps in front, giving it four levels of snap down rise
- Strong snap closures
- Crossover tabs for a small fit in waist
- Dual Leg gussets for leak and blowout protection
- Dual front and back snaps for secure inserts
- Soft and comfortable fleece topped insert with absorbent microfiber
- Double layered PUL shell for extra durability
- Wipable cover
Snap in your insert. Snap down the rise to the size you need. Use the snap or hook&loop closures to secure to baby. When changing baby, if the cover was not soiled, you can simply unsnap the insert and snap in another. This means you can get by with fewer covers, making the Best Bottom system more economical than pocket diapers or all-in-ones.
We love this style of diaper because the dual leg gussets really keep messes contained. Plus, when you wash the covers, they air dry really quickly.
Best Bottom inserts come in two types: microfiber with fleece, or hemp/organic cotton. They also come in three sizes to offer the best fit for your baby. For overnight protection, you can always lay an additional insert over the snap-in insert. Since the inserts have four layers of mircrofiber or five layers of hemp/cotton, they are highly absorbent.
Above, our model baby is about 14 weeks old and weighing 13 lbs. He is wearing the shell on the second smallest rise setting with a large insert. The diaper would fit trimmer with the medium insert. Although, as far as cloth diapers go, the Best Bottom system fits fairly trim considering how much liquid they can hold. This style of cloth diaper has really become our preference in our household because of the reliability and ease. The Best Bottom brand really is a high quality option and it is definitely a plus that they try to source their materials in the USA.
Admittedly, snap-in-two style cloth diapers are our favorite, so we might be a little biased!

POTSDAM, NY- Garrett Sharp (Canton/Canton Central) scored seven goals as the men's lacrosse team defeated Plattsburgh 18-11 on Wednesday afternoon in the Bears final regular season home game. With the win, Potsdam improves to 6-7 overall (2-3 in SUNYAC).
Sean McAulliffe (Watertown/JCC) added three goals and two assists. Kevin Green (Rochester/Fairport), Robbie Ashlaw (North Syracuse/Cicero-North Syracuse), and Derek Frost (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville East) all had two goals each. Ashlaw and Green both had three assists. Kyle Phelix (North Lawrence/St. Lawrence Central), Ben McCullough (Brampton, ONT/Turner-Fenton) and Ryan Paparella (Whitesboron/Whitesboro) all had one goal each.
Tommy Kilderry had four goals for the Cardinals.
Both teams were back and forth in the first quarter as the Bears held a 4-3 after Sharp scored his first of the game with 33 seconds remaining. Green's goal early in the second gave the Bears a two goal advantage but Plattsburgh would score twice to even the game at five apiece. Potsdam would then go on a five goal outburst to go up 10-5 with 6:51 remaining in the second quarter. The Cardinals would score three straight before Sharp scored his fourth goal of the game to put the Bears up 11-8 at halftime.
Plattsburgh kept pace in the third quarter but the Bears would not let up as they scored three straight times inside of seven minutes to go up 15-10. Potsdam continued to pour on the offense as they scored another three goals to come away with the victory.
Billy Richards came up big in goal as he had 17 saves. Logan Carpenter started for the Cardinals in goal and made two saves in 24:25. He was replaced by Danny Caufield who had nine saves in 33:43 of time. Caufield was relieved by Gordie Gehring late in the fourth quarter and he did not record a save in 1:52 of playing time.
The Bears win sets the stage for an important matchup against Brockport on the road this Saturday with the winner securing the final playoff spot in the SUNYAC. Game time is at 1 pm.

Officially, there are no nude beaches in India.
That said... Nude sunbathing gets mentioned in connection with at
least four of Goa's beaches -- all in the northern part of the
Anjuna Beach is occasionally mentioned, but mostly with nostalgia.
It is clear that nudity used to be tolerated at Anjuna. It is
probably that European visitors sunbathe topless (with some
discretion) and it is possible that the occasional leftover hippie
actually strips off for a while and gets away with it. But Anjuna is
more of a former nude beach than an active one today.
Arambol Beach is in a similar situation. Hippies discovered Arambol
when it was unused and turned it into a stop on the trail. Today,
"just a sprinkling of topless white females adorn the sands even as
members of the Goa Police patrol the beach," according to a 2001
article by Goa Today.
They are Ozra Beach and Vagator Beach.
A dozen or so web sites publish this quote about Little Vagator
Beach: "It's a free-and-easy mood at Little Vagator Beach where a
young, hip crowd and nude sunbathing are the norm." It is unclear
that the sites are related (except that they all deal with Goa and
tourism) and it is impossible to tell which site the quote
originates with. But MTV India independently confirms that Vagator
is a de facto nude beach.
Mouthshut.com had this to say about Ozra Beach: Ozra beach is next
to Vagator beach but not as easily accessible.This is also known as
the nude beach as it does have foreign tourists "au naturelle"
sun-bathing near the "Nudity Prohibited" sign!

There are four Domains in Beyond the Veil, each corresponding to the various psychic, emotional, and alchemical properties inherent to the spiritual and mortal world. While Rank is the measure of how powerful a character the Domains a character possesses determines what sort of individual they are, and thus the character's Attunements are a good indication.
- A character may never buy a Domain rating higher than their Rank. If their Rank is reduced extra levels are suppressed and cannot be used. The exception to this is "bonus" ranks granted by Attunements.
- A character is limited in how many Domains they can purchase ranks in by their Rank. If the character has purchased Ranks in too many Domains for their current Rank (such as when circumstances force Transubstantiation to a lower Rank) the character's "extra" Domains are suppressed in order from lowest to highest rating (the character must choose which is suppressed if there is a tie).
Improving a character's rating in a Domain costs a number of Souls equal to the new level times the number of times a Domain of that level has been purchased. Thus a character with Cups 3 who wants to go from Coins 2 to Coins 3 would need to spend 6 Souls.
When purchasing a new level in a Domain, the character receives a free Power from that domain of equal or lower level.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for your question here on Just Answer.
If your liens and judgments were not incurred due to any fraudulent dealings then they should be dischargeable in a bankruptcy.
Once the bankruptcy has been discharged then the liens and judgments would go away and you would not be liable on them anymore.
I do not know what the requirements are for the contractors license but if the application says asks if you have "EVER" had any judgments or liens then you would have to list them even if they were included in a bankruptcy.
But if the application ask if you "HAVE ANY UNRESOLVED" or something to that effect, then you would not have to disclose them as they would have all been resolved by the bankruptcy.
In your situation I would HIGHLY recommend using a bankruptcy attorney to make sure that your bankruptcy goes smoothly and everything is done correctly in order to make sure those judgments and liens are dischargeable and to make sure all the liens get voided in the bankruptcy, which is usually an extra step.
You would have to wait until the bankruptcy was final.
I hope you found my answer helpful, and if so please do not forget to click ACCEPT, this is the only way that I will get credit for assisting you– I receive no credit for helping you unless you actually press ACCEPT, even if you already have a subscription. By pressing the ACCEPT you will not be charged any more money. If you need more information, please use the REPLY button and I'd be more than happy to answer to your satisfaction. There is no fee for follow up questions before or after accepting, if we continue the conversation.
If you feel that I went an extra step to help you, a bonus in the form of another accept or an "add on" (available after you accept) is truly appreciated.
Also if you could take a minute and leave feedback that is also greatly appreciated. If you would like to ask me a question in the future you can put "For HCLegal" at the beginning of your question and I will be alerted and will answer your question the next time I am online.
I am sorry but this does not really answer my question. I understand your points about bankruptcy itself but my question deals with whether I would be able to renew my contractors license while in bankruptcy or after bankruptcy. It seems i would have to speak with an attorney familiar with licensing law in Florida.

Kochi, Dec 12: It seems that controversy is haunting Sreesanth and it is not ready to leave him even on his wedding day. After all hullabaloos over his alleged role in infamous IPL spot fixing scandal, now another controversy involving Gujarat CM Narendra Modi disturbed the cricketer.
Media reports earlier had reported that Modi would attend Sreesanth's wedding at Kochi, Kerala. However, sources close to Modi claimed that the chief minister was not even aware of Sreesanth's wedding. It seems that his name has been falsely dragged into the case.
Earlier media reports quoted one of Sreesanth's close friends -- Junaid Arfi as saying, "It will be a typical Indian traditional wedding. The wedding will be followed by a reception at a hotel. Chief Minster of Gujarat Narendra Modi has confirmed his presence at the wedding."
Narendra Modi has confirmed his presence at the wedding: Sreesanth's friend
Arfi also had confirmed the presence of many cricketers and celebrities from Bollywood and South Indian film industries. Sreesanth tied the knot with his long time girl Bhuvneshwari Kumari on Thursday, Dec 12. The girl belongs to a royal family of Rajasthan.
Sreesanth had made headlines when he along with three other cricketers of Rajasthan Royals team of IPL 6 was arrested from Mumbai. The players were accused of fixing several IPL matches. After spending several days in Tihar jail in Delhi, Sreesanth later was released on bail. The Board Of Control For Cricket In India (BCCI) slapped life bans on Sreesanth and other cricketers.

But jesus fucking christ this Gregary always makes my damn day and inspires me to try writing it again (or continue what I already started so very long ago, it's debatable).

So, I have to say I am totally jealous of Gary. How I could have used random sex at times of finals in college. Like seriously. I would have studied or actually done my work on time if I knew something like this would happen.
Who the fuck am I kidding? I never cared about my finals.
Anyway, carrying on. My favorite part of the entire fic, had to be:
"His knees are hitting the cabinets.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang."
I can't tell you why because I have no idea, but these two lines are what stuck out the most for me.
Here I am going to be critical for once. The one thing that I think would have helped a little, was actually having them move to the bathroom. I mean, maybe it was me reading this just right when I woke up, or something, but I actually scrolled back to see if they did move to the bathroom. That's probably as critical as I could ever get.
Just know that I want to draw some art for you. [there just isn't enough hours in a day to get everything done that I want to get done for you]

Ah, the joys of college stress.
I'm so glad I finally got around to reading this. This was really sweet, and an interesting pairing that I really liked. I especially loved the ending bit, "But fuck finals, and fuck the end of the semester. Seriously." So gpoy it's amazing. You really caught the stress well. Arguments for no reason, staying up until forever, etc., it's all so vivid to me (maybe because it's my life, but whatever).
To be honest, the only thing I could think by the end was 'The Caffeine Addict and the Blonde Sex Addict.'
And then I laughed forever.
The end.

For about 2 years I have been taking different meds to prevent pregnancy. I carefully followed the instructions of my doctor and visited him regularly. Throughout all this time there were no problems or complications, no side effects from the medications I was taking. Then my husband and I decided to stop taking measure to avoid pregnancy and finally get pregnant! Again I went to the doctor and he explained me how to stop taking the meds, what vitamins to consume and how to chart in order to get a baby quickly and without difficulties. However time was passing by and we couldn't get pregnant. At first I was not really worried, I thought just another attempt was needed. But after a year of efforts that were in vain I got depressed. I was 33 and still no kids. So I've undergone several fertility tests, the same did my husband and the results showed that the problem was in me. It was ovulatory dysfunction and my body needed support to start pregnancy. My doctor put me on Clomid and in less than 2 months I was already happily watching at the two sweet strips on my test! Now I'm on my 34th week of pregnancy and everything is just perfect. I feel happy and cool. And I'm glad there are such meds as Clomid for those who are ready to have kids but have difficulties with it.
