There is this one person I know whose status messages on Facebook are full of life and that spreads positive energy always.He writes about the food he wishes to eat , the food that hes eating too - every time its a unique menu,the variety is lovely and he never forgets to appreciate the guy who makes this spread for him :) He is a fantastic human being, a dear friend, a film maker by profession Vivek Sharma who reaches out to people through his Blog.
One such update was about "Nariyal Kheer" - the name just got me plain inquisitive at the way he was raving about relishing it :)) I did my fair share of Google search - figured it out and made it my way.......
1/4 cup Fresh grated coconut
2 tablespoons raw rice (soaked in water)
2 cups fresh milk
A pinch of salt
3/4 cup Sugar -
A pinch of powdered cardamom
Bay leaf
Cashew nuts and raisins fried in ghee
Step 1: Grind together coconut and raw rice with the salt to a very fine paste.
Step 2: Heat milk with the bay leaf .Add the paste to the milk stirring continuously with a wire whisk, as the paste could settle down easily. Whisk until it thickens to a smooth consistency.If by any chance it turns out lumpy, pour it out in a strainer to remove lumps.
Step 3: Add sugar & cardamom powder and stir well. Quantity of sugar could be increased as appropriate. Similarly, add milk if the mixture turns out too thick. Remove bay leaf & garnish with fried cashew nuts and raisins.
Diwali - the festival of lights - signifies the triumph of good over evil !! We reiterate this fact year after year - Hope this season brings peace and prosperity to all.
We did our share of prayers at home ..Happy Diwali again.............

We started off the night in the grounds of St Faiths Church in Gaywood where i really struggled to find anything of interest for me, until I went to the back of the graveyard and found a number of graves using crosses as grave stones.
|70mm F6.3 1/13 ISO 200
The cross in the background, which is the point of focus was leaning over so I made it stand straight and its surroundings lean at an angle. My least favourite part of this image is the stump in the middle which is too bright.
Behind this scene is a cross on the floor and a lone grave a number of meters behind it.
|31mm F4.0 1/30 ISO 200
The sky was very over cast and boring for photography, so I made sure to zoom in and crop the sky out in shot rather than at the editing stage.
The flaking paint and rotten textures make for a real sight and with a bit of exploring some great details can be found easily.
Three of the finer wrecks very accessible for photography. The two in the foreground are on a different side of the water from the one in the background. The further vessel is brought closer by the angle and focal length.
As you can see they were once quite large boats.
Never to be again.

Quite accidentally, I've cooked two (almost) vegetarian dinners in a row! I've been trying to go meatless more often.
Tuesday night was spinach artichoke stuffed shells. There was definitely more veggies in these than the traditional stuffed shells. And they were very good! The picture below is before baking, but you get the idea.
Wednesday night was midwinter minestrone. Now, this was almost vegetarian. We already had the chicken stock, so why buy the veggie stock? It called for sun-dried tomatoes, and I accidentally bought smoked sun-dried tomatoes, which gave the soup a smoky, nice flavor. It had kale in it, which was super tasty as well.
This morning, I was up early enough to make steel-cut oats. I cooked an apple while the oats were boiling away in a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon, and it turned out great! I like the texture of the steel-cut variety. I added a packet of splenda and a splash of vanilla extract in the oatmeal before topping it with the apples.
Tomorrow I will be getting lots of exercise by skiing! My little brother got good grades in his first semester of college, so his reward is skiing. Not looking forward to being in the cold all day, but it should be fun!

On our way to the trail head, we had a lovely view of Mt. Rainier (somewhat in the clouds). Adam has summited twice and enjoyed sharing some of his love for the mountain with us.
Adam had recently been on the trail to Packwood Lake on the SE corner of Mount Rainier and remembered it to be very moderate and doable for our current "combined ability level." After packing all morning (first day of Paternity Leave!!!), we drove away at 2 pm and began hiking at 5:30 pm! Luckily, we made it the 4 1/2 miles to the lake by about 7:30 pm - just as it was getting dark. Elliott did great on the trail. He rode his bike on the relatively flat places which meant fast hiking, and he walked on more steep areas while we carried his bike. He carried his own backpack with snacks, jacket, headlamp the entire trip. As i said, he wanted to go on this trip, so he never thought to complain about anything.
Adam carried all our gear and helped motor Elliott. I carried Arlin on my front and all our food on my back :)
On uphill trails, Adam would give Elliott a "motor" with his hiking pole.
I kept a bored and squashed Arlin placated by slipping him a red mountain huckleberry every couple seconds. He must have eaten 100+ berries over the trip.
Blister care...Adam was recovering from Mt. Rainier the week before.
We made it to Packwood Lake:
View from the eating area of our camp:
Adam kindly set up the tent (I was near useless as far as camp stuff went because I was holding a mobile and rambunctious Arlin) then we feasted on smoked salmon, incredible Gina Marie cream cheese in adorable packaging, and crackers.
Best camp food. Was supposed to be our idyllic lunch picnic, but we got a late start.

APIA down Wolves in downpour
By Corinthian (Paul Green):
NSW – PS4 NPL 1 Men – Round 8 – Feature Game
7:45pm, Saturday 2nd May 2015 – Lambert Park, Leichhardt
APIA-Leichhardt Tiger FC 3 (Brett Studman 24′, Blake Powell 77′, 87′)
South Coast Wolves FC 0
One of the few games to go ahead in any division this weekend, after another rainy few days late in the week, APIA-Leichhardt's clash with South Coast Wolves survived the downpour; but only just.
After earlier Under-18 and Under-20 matches had been subjected to heavy rain at various stages, the main game scheduled to kick off at 745pm seemed safe to go the distance as well.
But even heavier falls during the first grade game made life very difficult for the players, with conditions deteriorating in the concluding stages to the extent that the ball would often move only a few yards at a time in more and more areas of the pitch.
Free kicks, for instance, played to a second player nearby had to be lifted into the air rather than prodded along the ground to allow the latter to try a shot on goal.
Under those circumstances the players from both sides did themselves credit, though it was APIA who emerged with the three points after winning 3-0 against a Wolves side reduced to ten men early in the game after a reckless challenge in centre field by Sam Matthews, adjudged by referee, Ryan Shepheard, to constitute serious foul play.
Even allowing for the treacherous surface, albeit a synthetic one, it looked rash and off Matthews went.
Reduced to ten men the South Coast side, already a goal down after 24 minutes, applied themselves to the task and made the home team work solidly to try and it was an even contest for much of the remaining minutes until, quite late on, puddles began to form in more than one isolated area, but all over the pitch.
APIA then pressed home their advantage of familiarity with the pitch and having the extra man. They'd led from a Brett Studman goal, following a corner, swung over by Franco Parisi on the right.
At that stage while it was raining steadily, the ball was still travelling reasonably normally along the ground, though it was skidding a little at times, it has to be said.
The ball from Parisi was delivered low and hard and Studman got there just before the keeper to steer the ball just inside the left hand upright.
South Coast threatened mostly on the break with David Stojic rocking the crossbar in the 39th and a pass from Peter Simonoski.
The Wolves relied on a wholehearted display from their powerfully-built striker, Bradley Welch, to play target man and use his speed and physique to try and make something of any forward thrusts coming from behind.
The pitch became increasingly difficult to play any passing game on it and both teams looked to improvise in the latter stages.
Parisi ran onto a long ball from deep by Studman in the 64th and got through to face the keeper, but he was just too quick and that chance went begging.
Increasingly South Coast began to look more ragged as the one man down began to tell in the trying conditions.
In the 77th APIA were able to extend their lead, Nathan Elasi being sent through down the left and then with plenty of numbers forward converging in the six yard box it was left to top scorer, Blake Powell, to finish from point blank range and make it 2-0.
The third goal came in the 87th, Powell again, this time being sent away on a run down the right and advancing to the edge of the six yard box, out wide, before angling a shot across the keeper and in at the far post.
Conditions were so bad that it was a wonder the game was completed, which, mercifully it was, with two minutes of stoppage time signalled, but barely needed.
After the game the novelty of a pitch full of puddles appealed to the ball boys so much that after standing in the rain all night and getting soaked they decided to frolic on the pitch and try their own versions of water sports, diving through the water and having a great time of it.
It was noted that some of the beaten Wolves players still had enough energy to join them in the harmless pursuit before eventually heading to the sheds for a much needed hot shower rather than a lot of cold ones.
Nahuel Arrarte, South Coast Wolves coach, did not seem too disappointed with the result as he felt his players had done their best and the conditions were against his team, not to mention losing a man early.
"I'm very proud of my players for their performance tonight, in the conditions," he said.
"APIA are a very good side and they deserved to win. It helped that they are familiar with playing on an artificial pitch, but they're a top side and they're doing well this season.
South Coast were coming off a last start win against Bonnyrigg White Eagles and might have expected to give APIA a hard game and that's exactly what they did do, until the rain spoiled any chance of a normal contest.

Hands up who's enjoying the Paralympics then? Actually, I have a confession. I didn't volunteer during the Paralympics in Sydney. This was mainly due to funding and having to get on with my travels while I could. And partly a little ignorance maybe. And it's taken me until now to realise.
Last week, I raised myself from my bed at 12.30am and went down to see the Paralympic torch pass the end of my road. It was a great moment and the lads and ladies running with the torch did us proud. They'd come a long way to participate in this special event and were part of a sports club I understand.
I heard a few people complaining about the long delays as the convoy was running around two hours late. May I direct them to twitter at this point. Or the Queen, who had to stand all day long on her jubilee. Either way, I was really proud of Team GB, their families, Stoke Mandeville, our police force, volunteers and spectators alike. It gives me goosebumps every time it's claimed London 2012 is shaping up to be the best ever Paralympics yet.
I returned to my bed in the small hours of the morning before having to get up an hour later to feed the baby. But it was well worth the 'hangover' feeling the next day!

One of the options that most people have a difficult time choosing, however, is which blog software they are going to use in order to build their website. Since there are so many different types of software that are available, it is usually a good idea for you to look at some of the blog software reviews online. These will help you to see what each of these types of software brings to the table, along with helping you to determine which one will help you the most in your business. Although there are almost unlimited options that are available, some of the main things that you should look at whenever you are checking out the blog software reviews are what kind of options are available for RSS feeds, along with whether they are easy to administer. RSS, which stands for real simple syndication is going to allow you to get your blog out to more people in a shorter period of time. Some people will subscribe to your blog and will be notified whenever you add new information automatically via the RSS script. Almost all blogs contain this but it would be a mistake for you to choose one that happened to be lacking in this area. The administration of the blog is also very important and this is one of the main areas that the blog software reviews are going to focus. One of the reasons why people go with blogs is because of the simplicity of building a website

Obtain the Look You Want with Contemporary Design
Contemporary interiors are what some people see as being cold and plain. The truth is, contemporary interiors that are designed with a few things to keep in mind will actually be very warm and inviting. Right now, 44% of Americans who were polled said that they thought their home furnishings were what they called "traditional." Only 22% said they had modern furnishings and 13% decided that the best way to describe their home furnishings was to call them "eclectic." Many people take years to decorate their homes; they have a budget that will only allow them tho do one room at a time. Even though this might be the case for you, too, it does not mean that you still can't get the look you have been wanting. Most people do not get the chance to update the interior of their home very often. Almost half of Ameri

I'd placed the order with a company downtown, a mere four blocks from our hotel in Des Moines. But, they called before I left home to tell me I needed to pick it up from a different location, as the downtown one was closed on Saturdays.
So... on a brisk morning, my morning run took me, not along the pretty river path that I'd planned on running, but 40 blocks through and past downtown, to the florist. (Don't tell my mother.)
White roses have become synonymous with remembrance of our dearly missed George, and I wanted to honor him somehow during the show I attended. I wanted him with me. And so I ran the 40 blocks back to the hotel. Gently. With a cardboard box in one hand -- inside, a white rose wrist corsage.
During intermission, I slipped it off my wrist. I entwined a note I had written to him into the bracelet of the corsage and rose from my seat. Delicately making my way to the stage, I closed my eyes, kissed the petals of the rose, whispered my heart, and laid it on the stage -- a gesture I borrowed from a dear friend with her permission.
I was careful with it... I was sure to put it far enough forward that it couldn't possibly be a safety hazard to any of the men on stage.
I stood along the stage, further down, during intermission chatting with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time. But I frowned when an usher walked by me along the front of the stage, picking up the corsage on the way. There may have been stamping of my feet.
After a few minutes, he came back my way, flowers still in-hand, and, outside of my own character, I stopped him. "Please," I entreated. "I wouldn't normally ask this, but is there any way you can put that back? It's for a singer in the show who passed away this year... and it would just mean a lot to me."
He was kind but told me he'd been instructed to pick any of them up and to take them backstage.
And honestly, I didn't know that I wanted that note read by anyone in the show... It's not that there was anything bad in it, it just... wasn't to them. Yeah, I know. I should have thought of that before putting it on a stage where someone was going to pick it up and possibly read it at some point anyway.
I am impetuous. Not well thought-out.
Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe it was the action and the heart and the whispers and the heartache and the missing that matters, and not that a flower didn't sit on a stage for 12 songs.
Maybe none of it matters... but it kind of did.
To me.

A White Rose for George
2 comments:
((hugs)) I hope simply being able to give the rose and the note helped.ReplyDelete
I'm choosing to believe that he really did take it back stage, that it was seen and appreciated. But this may be one of those times when the thought and the action are what's most important, to yourself anyways :DReplyDelete

Christmas crochet projects are now underway! I have completed my first pair of Button-Cuff Boots by Darla Sims... except for the buttons. I'm on a search for something a little bit unique.
This was a fun pattern to make up - and yes, the two boots are indeed the same size and shape! The pattern is made up with two strands of yarn and used just the better part of two skeins of Mary Maxim Best Value worsted. Quick little project to whip up - now to get some puff paint on the soles to make them anti-slip.

Crocheted Wristers
We crafty types are great at making things but we give most of it away. This weekend I worked on a project for me. I crocheted a pair of wristers using sock-weight yarn using this Lion Brand pattern.
They are thin and comfortable and fit well. They are made with a single crochet stitch in either front or back loops, creating a nice little pattern and a decent amount of stretch.

A very special Christmas gift
A dear friend of mine lost her best friend in 2011. I wanted to do something special for her, so we saved some special items of his for a quilt. I wasn't ready to take on this project last year, but this year was the right time. I finished the lap quilt in time for her Christmas gift. As my daughter said, it's a hug from her buddy every time she uses it.

Halloween Wreaths
Thanks to two of my fave crafty ladies for getting together to make these cute yarn-wrapped wreaths. Simple and quick to do, I love how we each put our personal touch on them. Thanks to Eryn for wrapping my second one so I could make one for me and one for my dear darling daughter's house.
This was a simple craft to do. Get a solid wreath (foam, straw, whatever is cheap). With the help of your handy glue gun wrap the whole wreath with yarn. Add ricrac accent trim. Tie on a ribbon for hanging, and decorate as you see fit. We all did something a little different:
Happy Crafting!
- Heather
|This is what serious creativity looks like - I think it's funny just how serious we seem to be since we joked and laughed all night!
|Eryn used grunge fabric (dollar store or Walmart) and a big plastic spider
and her little spider-ette babies.
|I added grunge fabric as well, then stick-on felt spiders
|Heather T cut out this cool spider from felt.
|For mine, I wanted a crow.
|Several dollar stores later my brother found it!

And so it continues...
First photos of the Creative Zone. As is always the case, things are worse before they get better. Right now it's been a bunch of shuffling to make room for rearranging. The left side makes me groan, but the right side of the room is coming along thanks to a burst of energy at midnight last night!
Don't think you need a huge craft room. This room is about 7.5'x10', and set up right it'll be just perfect.

Small Storage for the Creative Zone
Summer visiting and travelling is done. Now it's Fall and time to get productive. Time to get back to a schedule and get crafty. I've such a long to-do list and I've pinned thousands of items on Pinterest - now to actually DO some of the pins! I think I should start a weekly Pinterest Pin Conquered post.
First up - I've started changing my creative zone. I tried something new a few months ago and it's just not working the way I hoped. I've rearranged the furniture and now I'm ready to start sorting through all my goodies and make a sell pile and organize the keep pile. I have a few shelves to put up as well. It's important to have items close at hand, and also to have inspiration hanging up. Lots to do, wheels are spinning.
Here are a few of the ideas I love that will be my inspiration as I get it all sorted.
This is a truly beautiful thing! I love the multitude of jars in the narrow shelving unit. Ribbons, trims, buttons, brads, small stamps, chip board... the possibilities are endless.
Punching a hole in the top of a small jar makes a great individual yarn or ribbon dispenser like this:
Click on the image for a few more jar organization ideas from Home Made Simple.
I also like this idea of repurposing an old wine rack. I've got one that has an Italian flavour and a verdigris look to it. It would be fun to pop it up a notch by painting it fuchsia or turquoise.
One more - this stunning tin can caddy. This will be fabulous on my desk for the items I use all the time. Love this -
Hope this inspires me to get it done in a hurry. When my work space is neat and organized I'm so much more productive.

bacon and eggs
Here's the bacon. And eggs. I just stinkin' adore them!!!! I kind of winged it to make them but have written it down if you want to play too.
- ch 2, 6sc in 2nd ch, slst tog, ch1
- 2sc in each stitch, slst tog, ch1
- *sc, 2sc* around, slst and tie off leaving a long enough tail to sew to egg white
Egg white:
- ch 2, 6sc in 2nd ch, slst tog, ch 1
- 2sc in each stitch, slst tog, ch 1 (12)
- *sc in 2 stitches, 2sc in next stitch* around, slst tog, ch1 (18)
- *sc in 2 stitches, 2sc in next 2 stitches* around, sc in last 2 stitches, slst tog, ch1 (26)
- *sc in 2 stitches, 2sc in next stitch* around, sc in last 2 stitches, slst tog, weave in ends (34)
Stuff and sew the yolk to the white.
Now the bacon! I chained 20, then did three rows of 3sc+inc, 3sc+dec. Then I wove a light thread through the stitches.
Then serve them up on a plate! Pancakes - needs pancakes...

Mathematical Conversations
Topic: Proofs from algorithms, algorithms from proofs
Speaker: Pravesh Kothari
Affiliation: Member, School of Mathematics
Date & Time: Friday December 8th, 2017, 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Location: Dilworth Room
Constructive vs Pure Existence proofs have been a topic of intense debate in foundations of mathematics. Constructive proofs are nice as they demonstrate the existence of a mathematical object by describing an algorithm for building it. In computer science, we, in fact, have to worry about the algorithm itself being efficient. On the other hand, constructive proofs can be quite restrictive in that, they may not be as illuminating or natural to come up with as a non-constructive proof. In this talk, I will explain a method where we can have our cake and eat it too. I'll describe a restricted system of proofs that allows us to work essentially unfettered by the restriction of constructiveness and come up with proofs ``as is'' and still guarantee an automatic translation of our proofs into efficient algorithms. The technical workhorse of this method is the observation that the positivstellensatz theorems (due to Artin, Putinar, Stengle and others) are efficiently constructive: whenever a non-negative multivariate polynomial over the reals has a proof of non-negativity via an equivalent representation as a sum of squares of low-degree polynomials, there's also an efficient algorithm to find such a representation. Far from just being an intellectual curiosity, this sum-of-squares method of coming up with proofs is remarkably powerful. It not only captures and illuminates classical results in algorithm design, but also yields the state-of-the-art algorithms for many basic algorithmic questions in computer science.

Screw piles, sometimes described as helical piles, have been in use since the 1830's when they were primarily installed to support lighthouses and harbour piers on the east coast of America. Manufactured today from galvanised steel, the load bearing capacities and lifespan of this foundation type is greatly increased meeting modern building requirements and specifications.
Designed as both compression piles and tension anchors, they offer a fast, versatile and sustainable option for many comparably lightly loaded structures including roadside signs and gantries, conservatories, single-storey extensions and piers where ground conditions suit. Due to their ability to be removed and reused elsewhere, they are sustainable and produce no spoil often saving considerable costs particularly where land is contaminated. They are also commonly used on the railways, at the side of motorways and other such locations where downtime is costly and/or access is restricted as they can be installed quickly using either a hand-held or mini excavator mounted torque motor.

Drawing straight, accurate lines can be challenging when relying on a tape measure and a scrap of wood as a straight edge. Now there's a better way. The Woodpecker T-Square will help you draw straighter, more accurate parallel lines in less time than you can imagine. In an instant, you can move your pencil from 3" off the edge to 12" and be dead-on without the need of a tape measure.
Each Woodpecker T-Square consists of a precisely machined, laser engraved, aluminum blade perfectly fitted to a solid, billet handle with two support lips to prevent tipping and a perfectly machined edge for true squaring. The blade itself has precisely spaced 1MM holes drilled every 1/16". Stick a pencil in the hole, slide it along your work piece and presto, a perfectly spaced line accurately following the stock edge. The outer edges are machined to a 30 degree bevel for easy reading and laser engraved scales for measuring. Additional holes are machined on exact 1" centers for marking shelf pin locations.
Great care goes into making these T-Squares so you can be sure that every marking is laser perfect and every hole is accurately spaced. In fact, we guarantee this precision tool to be accurate to .001", and we guaranteed it for life. And like all the tools Woodpeckers makes, they're machined in our shop, right here in the U.S.A. Each T-Square comes in its own fitted, wooden, wall mountable case so you can be sure it's safely stored yet always in sight.

Before using lotion for your skin, put a percentage within the palms of the hands and rub both hands together. You could increase the lotion as needed, but extra lotion left onto the skin can leave streaks or dark splotchy areas. It is better to spread the tanning lotion onto the skin and let it completely dry. Use the lotion rapidly but completely, and spread inside a circular motion.
If you're not able to possess someone advise you regarding your backside, you can utilize a sponge on the stay with cover hard to achieve places. Use the lotion towards the backs of the hands last. Make sure to wash off any residue left out in the mitts. Avoid your palms and also the bottoms of the ft. When tanning the face area, it is suggested to utilize a sunless tanning lotion made specifically for the face area. These items are gentler options to sunless lotions for your system.
Make use of a moist towel or sponge to wipe off any excess lotion out of your skin. Also, make use of a moist towel to wipe off areas of your skin that don't normally acquire a dark tan naturally.

X-Men Legacy
Legend: Thoughts = <>
Stray thoughts = ()
Flashback **
Com links []
Ok, guys, all the disclaimers apply, that means all thanks goes to Marvel
For the X-Men, I'm just making the story. And I do read all the other
Stories and they're great, keep up the good work. They inspire me!
"Well, all I'm saying is that next time we go and see a movie, do we have to see something called `Confessions of a Shopaholic'? I mean, couldn't we see `The Last House on the Left'...get a little T&A." Jacob said as he and his girlfriend Martha. They had just been inside to see the flick and while Martha openly praised the movie, Jacob had a different approach.
"You like it, you even laughed!" Martha argued.
"Well, yeah, it was funny." Jacob said, "But seriously, can we go see something not dealing with fashion or women...unless they have their tops off."
Martha playfully punched him, "Jerk." She laughed.
"Sorry, but I have to be honest." Jacob smiled, "You love it."
The couple chuckled as they walked down the street, Martha stopped when she saw a teenage boy get pulled into the alley ahead of them. She looked around, wondering why no one was saving him. She quickly made her way to the alley and stopped at the sight of a large man pulling energy from the boy's chest! Jacob sprung to action, but it was too late as the boy slumped to the floor. Jacob tried to land a punch on the figure, but the figure grabbed him and threw him against the wall! Martha pulled out her taser and aimed it at the man, who dodged her attack and slid his hand around her neck, snapping it like a twig. Jacob cried out, running toward him and meeting the sharp end of a lead pipe.
"Oh my god!" A woman screamed running back into the streets. The figure took this opportunity to leave the grisly site.
Chapter 79: Innate
"Police reports are that an unknown assailant savagely murder a young mutant and two innocent bystanders..." The news report said as Raiden, Connor and I watched. It cut deep. I cannot believe the wording! Two innocent bystanders and a young mutant...like the mutant was the cause of all this. Maybe if they weren't labeling us as weapons one of us wouldn't have become one. It was so...anger inducing.
"That happened a few blocks from here." Connor said looking down the street and seeing police cars, "That one was close."
"Do you think it was a sign?" Raiden asked.
"More like a giant red and blue wake up call." I said, "You guys, we've failed. This thing is out there killing people and we can't even find it."
"I don't think we'll have to." Raiden said.
"Right, he knows we're after him." Connor said, "That night in the alley was our calling card."
"Yeah, well that just sucks, doesn't it?" Raiden asked.
"Majorly." Connor said, "But this could work for our good."
"Your good. Not mine, I'm the weakest link." I said quickly, "I have no active power."
"You can read minds and levitate." Raiden said, "Pretty cool if you ask me."
"I can't read minds...not well, and I can't control the levitation, and I don't even go that high." I said.
"For a guy who didn't want his powers, you sure sound like you want your powers." Connor said, "Besides, we all have things we're good at."
"And that nifty little `no dying' thing you do is pretty hip." Raiden said.
"Hip?" Connor asked.
"Yeah, it's all groovy." Raiden smiled.
Connor smiled back at her. I caught it. I giggled.
Connor cleared his throat, "Maybe we're looking at this all wrong." He said.
"Yeah? How so?" I asked.
"You need to embrace your powers. Learn them." Connor said.
We all turned to see a teenager in saggy pants, polo shirt, and a ball cap on backward.
"Can we...help you?" Connor asked.
"I am..."
"Ian?" I asked.
"You remember me?" Ian asked.
"Duh." I said, walking over and hugging him, "What are you doing here?"
"Gonna introduce us?" Connor asked.
"This is Ian, he's a student at the Institute." I said in shock, "Again, what are you doing here?"
"I thought I'd visit." Ian said.
"That was good, but does he lie often?" Raiden asked.
Ian looked at her.
"She's right." I said, "What're you really doing here?"
Ian frowned.
"Umm, guys, can we have some privacy?" I asked.
Raiden sighed, but reluctantly followed Connor to the back.
"They seem cool." Ian said, looking around, "This place is great."
"It's not the mansion, but it's home." I smiled, "Now are you going to tell me what brought you all the way down here?"
"I ran away." Ian said.
"You what?" I asked, shocked, "You ran away? It's dangerous out there, especially now!"
"I know, but I..." Ian paused.
I stared.
"I don't wanna live there anymore." Ian said.
"So, you decided to come and live with me?" I asked.
"Please." Ian begged, "Just until I get on my feet. I'll...I'll do anything."
"Ian, this isn't a good fit for you." I said quickly, "You deserve to be around people like you."
"You are...were like me." Ian said.
"But there are more gifted people than I." I said, "Besides, this isn't exactly the place for you. You should be around kids your own age."
"You're not that older than me." He said.
"It's alright, ya know, I'll just find somewhere else." Ian said quickly, grabbing up his bags.
"There's still something you're not telling me." I said, "And you're not leaving. You're staying until I can find out what to do next."
"Where do I put my stuff?" Ian asked.
"In the back." I said.
Ian walked to the door and opened it, quickly slamming it again!
"What?" I asked.
"Those two are making out." Ian said.
"Seriously?" I asked, going to look.
The air was thick as Mutants stood at one side and humans stood at the other, both sides protesting the other. Humans were angry because of the mutant that had slayed the young couple, which someone had caught on tape. We were calling this mutant Mega because he had a scar on his chest with the insignia on it. Mega had murdered the couple in cold blood! The question was how did they catch it on camera? That was the killer of it. Mega was also killing mutants, to which the authorities had turned a blind eye. The crowd was deafening and all I could hear as I stood by were the chants and the slurs. It was awful! Suddenly, there was an outcry! One of the mutants had been gassed and now the crowd had erupted into a mass of hysteria! There was pushing and shoving and suddenly, I was lost in the shuffle. People were getting trampled as the riot began! Stores were looted, businesses ruined, and there was a multitude of violence! I felt my hand being pulled out as I tried to find my way out. As I came to a stop, I noticed that a man was holding my hand. The man looked like an exact copy of Tahmoh Penikett. It was really uncanny.
"Thanks...who are you?" I asked.
"Detective Richard Marcus," he said, clutching my wrists, "And you're under arrest."
I twirled around, knocking him back against the wall, "Sorry, sparky, I've got a date." I said.
We just stared for a minute.
"Get lost." He said.
I nodded, "Thanks." I said, jogging away.
"Well, we figured out something." Raiden said.
"Oh, when was this? When your tongues aren't wrapped together?" I asked.
They both blushed.
"The thing is, isn't it a little too coincidental that there were cameras in that alley?" Connor asked, "It's too planned."
"Planned?" I asked.
"Yeah, it makes sense!" Raiden said, "It would be just the push they need."
"Of course, but there's a riot now." I said.
"It worked better than they planned." Connor frowned, "We have to undo this."
"There have been rumblings of a monster roaming the streets, eating mutants. The beast is giant and metallic. Reports are that it ignores the general human populace, but is deadly to any mutant within range. The monster moves impossibly fast, has razor sharp claws, and toxic saliva." The reporter said on the t.v., "All people are told to stay as far away from this monster as possible. If you see him, run. Hide. For more..."
I turned to the t.v. and looked at the drawing, "Predator X." I said.
"What?" Raiden asked.
"Big beast, just like the guy said, feeds on mutants." Connor explained, "He was in the files, weapon X created him."
"Weapon X?" Raiden said, "Aren't they the ones that made Wolverine?"
"Yeah, and if they let loose Predator X, we're screwed." I said.
"You act like you have experience." Connor said.
"Because I do." I frowned, "And then I was uber-powerful...and I didn't take him down."
"Damn." Connor said, sitting, "It's happening, isn't it?"
"Yeah." I said.
"What's happening?" Raiden asked.
"Any day now, they'll be issuing a statement that mutants are to be turned in." I said.
"The question is how do we diffuse the situation?" Connor asked.
"The sentinels are next." I said, "I'm kind of shocked they haven't be..."
"What?" Connor asked.
"Something's wrong." I said.
"Everything's wrong, can you be specific?" Raiden asked.
Suddenly, something materialized in front of us and we were knocked backwards! I looked up to see the mutant killer standing in the middle of the room. I immediately threw my hand up, trying to hurl him backwards, but nothing happened! It was then that I realized I was truly powerless. Before Connor or I could get up, the mutant killer grabbed Raiden and disappeared!
"NO!" Connor yelled, causing echoes through the empty office.
I stood, stunned. Connor joined me. Before we could say anything, we were standing outside, across the street in an alleyway! We looked at each other, wondering how we had gotten here and we immediately heaved into the trashcans! When we had gotten that out of the way, our eyes met the sight that scared the Hell out of both of us! Three government hummers pulled up with MRD written on the side of it and the troops deployed!
"Oh my gosh, Ian..." I said, moving towards them.
Connor grabbed my arm, "There's nothing we can do for him now." He said, pulling me away as I watched the MRD pull the young mutant out and throw him into the back of the Hummer.

Well, if you liked it please tell me so I can start work on the next one. I really need feedback, especially if you like it. If you don't, I need advice and suggestions, please.
