I want to finish this scene. I think Baz is finally going to tell Simon he loves him." "He'll still love him tomorrow." "It's a big chapter." "It's always a big chapter." "It's different this time." Cath had been saying this for the last year. "It's the end." Wren was right: Cath had written this story, Baz and Simon i...
This is where legends placed the prehistoric landings all along! The European copies of Ptolemy's maps included a name for a place in the midst of that mythical land, Cattigara; the location, Ibarra Grasso wrote, is "where in fact Lambayeque is situated, the principal center of gold metallurgy in the whole American con...

We read in Genesis that when the Pharaoh elevated Joseph, who interpreted dreams, to high office, he gave him as was appropriate to an Egyptian official a new. Egyptian name: Zophnat-Pa'aneach.

In other words, \(\hat{y} = y_i\) where \(i = \arg\min ||\boldsymbol{X}_{i,:} - \boldsymbol{x}||_2^2\). The algorithm can also be generalized to distance metrics other than the \(L^2\) norm, such as learned distance metrics (Goldberger et al., 2005). If the algorithm is allowed to break ties by averaging the \(y_i\) va...
As we drove away, I watched through the back window as he took a drink and raised the bottle in my direction, as if toasting me. His eyes looked so sad. I felt kinda bad for him, to be honest. We finally got home around six, and I was exhausted. I just wanted to sleep, but Mom made me eat some cheesy pasta, although sh...
"If you weren't crying because of Ayd leaving, then what on earth has all of you in tears? I don't like it one bit and I'm ready to beat someone up for all of you." Shaw jerked her gaze away from her friend and stared at me for a solid minute before blinking her big, green eyes at me. She let out a high-pitched laugh a...
He played jauntily and with flair, crisp and looping figures in the minor mode, as if glad to be there with his mechanical friends, enclosed in the universe he had created, never once looking up. It went on and on, always finally the same, and yet the longer I listened the harder I found it to leave. To be inside that ...

"But tell me, why are you here?" She blinked at him fuzzily. The open collar of his shirt had buckled, baring his collarbones and the colorful edges of his tattoo. "Free lunch," she mumbled. "I meant, in Hades." He refilled her drink, shooting away the waitress when she came by to check on them. "You couldn't be more t...
It is very important when studying formal systems to distinguish working within the system from making statements or observations about the system. I assume that you began the MU-puzzle, as do most people, by working within the system; and that you then gradually started getting anxious, and this anxiety finally built ...

This aggressive instinct is the derivative and the main representative of the death instinct which we have found alongside of Eros and which shares world-dominion with it. And now, I think, the meaning of the evolution of civilization is no longer obscure to us. It must present the struggle between Eros and Death, betw...
Sorren's rules." "I know. He called and read me the riot act yesterday," Griffin said as he unbuttoned her top button with a deft flick of his fingers. "He's very protective of his property." "I can't say I blame him." Griffin leaned back on the bed and stared her up and down. "Strip for me, beautiful." At thirty-four,...
I could just remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time. And when I would have to look at them day after day, each with his and her secret and selfish thought, and blood strange to each other blood and strange to mine, and think that this seemed to be the onl...
Ma sews me two new puppets out of little socks from when I was a baby, they’ve got smiles of stitches and all different button eyes. I know to sew but it’s not much fun.

She says my name quietly, but her voice sounds off. Something's not right. "What? What is it?" Is Hardin in the hallway? I zip over to where Kimberly is just as she bends down . . and grabs my suitcase. Dread takes over, bringing me to my knees. I barely feel Kimberly's arms around me as I open the front pocket of the ...
You both endured enough that no one would blame you if you danced off into the sunset like Miryam and Drakon and never bothered with anything else again.

"What's the occasion?" he asks coolly. Brooke offers us a broad smile. "Celebrating the engagement, silly!" She flips her hair over her shoulder. "Unofficially, of course, because there'll be a proper engagement party once we get the details squared away. Somewhere decadent, like the Palace or maybe the King Edward? Wh...

My next words were quiet, slow, and I decided I did not mind stealing from them, not one bit. "There are things that are public knowledge, and things that are not. My relationship with him is well known. Its current standing, however, is none of your concern. Or anyone else's. But I do know Tamlin, and I know that ther...
So long as I didn't focus on the rippling depths below me, I was fine. Better than fine. It was a gorgeous day, the breeze making the scorching sun downright hospitable.

The most famous (and perhaps only) transsexual male porn star is the cigar-puffing Buck Angel. Buck Angel combines a number of visual cues of masculinity with the single feminine cue of a vagina. Straight men express no interest in Buck Angel, and some find him disquieting. Many gay men, however, find Buck Angel extrem...
As a middle ground, we might obtain gradient access only to foundation model inputs, 58 which are considerably lower dimensional than foundation model parameters.

You know that to spend excessive time looking into their eyes or hugging them hello would be a compromise of your heart's depth and your body's fullness.

I hadn't bothered with a bra but I was wearing panties. His eyes flared with heat as he gazed at my breasts. I loved knowing that the sight of my swollen stomach didn't make him want me any less.

He thought of the PET scans he had studied, always looking for his mother, hands in his pockets, nodding as the radiologists spoke, and sometimes tears twinkling behind his lids--the enlargement of the amygdala, the increase in the white-matter lesions, the severe depletion in the number of glial cells. The brains of t...
Oh, tell me, who first announced, who was the first to proclaim that man does dirty only because he doesn't know his real interests; and that were he to be enlightened, were his eyes to be opened to his real, normal interests, man would immediately stop doing dirty, would immediately become good and noble, because, bei...
This leads to a conflict. For an objective observer evaluating the episode from the reports of the experiencing self, what counts is the “area under the curve” that integrates pain over time; it has the nature of a sum. The memory that the remembering self keeps, in contrast, is a representative moment, strongly influe...

It could obviously lead to a sexual relationship, and I even found that reassuring; I needed to sense that all of me was appreciated. Whether or not I found immediate sensory satisfaction was less important. That, too, was written off in profits and losses. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that until I was about th...

Jamie guided Duncan to a spot from which the western slopes below the ridge were visible; there were natural breaks, or "coves" in the forest, now overgrown with tangles of wild grass, but ultimately suitable for cultivation.

His stubble was longer than usual.

There he stood, a cut on his cheek, his clothes wrinkled and gray, even his hair saturated with dust. His hands, his face-dust clung to every part of him, except his eyes.

When the rapture hit and my mind registered the force of it, I emptied my lungs on a wild scream. Screaming. Screaming.

He collapsed ove...
