This show was fantastic. It was about a group who had these extraordinary abilities. One girl could smell and taste everything. One guy had excellent aim. One guy could see all electronic signals as pictures. Another girl could make people do exactly as she wanted, but only simple things.
High school is full of challenges.Everything from grades to body development. This story is about Russels and Kevin who come out to eachother. It's written by Brent Hartinger. Hartinger is the founder of a gay and lesbian community center in Tacoma, Washington. He is a talented playwright as well as an author. It has 15 chapters and 226 pages. I read this book in three days: January 25, 2013-January 28, 2013.
Russel was petrified of coming out, even to his two best friends. He took showers after gym and felt like a soldier among enemies. That is until he made plans to meet with a student, who he met online, at the playground. It was Kevin Land.
Russell is in the lockeroom after his shower and afraid the boys would figure out he was gay.
Mrs. Toll was having a heated conversion with the Reverend and the principal about her showing kids how to use a condom on a cucumber. The school got rid of Ms. Toll, because she wouldn't stop defending her idea of putting a condom dispenser in the bathrooms.
Russel, Min, Terrese and Kevin started the Geography club, because it would be the only way for them to meet safely and talk about stuff that was on their minds. The club would meet twice a week. Anything said in the group stayed in the group.
Russel agreed to go on a double date with Gunnar which turned into three. Trish tried to kiss Russel. They went to Trishs parents beachhouse for the third date. Russel thought they were going to the movies as they did the for the first and second double date.
Someone else wanted to join the group. Belinda joined the geography club, which killed the gossip and hanging out.
Russel joined the baseball team to be close to Kevin.
Trish kissed Russel. She wanted to have sex with him as well.
Kevin kissed Russel later that night. Kevin wanted to kiss Russel ever since they met, which surprised him.
All the baseball players were chewing tobacco, so Russel was trying it, but hated it.
Belinda came late to the next geography club meeting. So they expanded the meaning of the club to being an outsider. Belinda became the token draught member.
Russel won the first baseball game. At school people were awwed by Russ winning the game. At lunch he was 50 cents short, the lunch lady let him go. Russ went back into the school to get books. He heard voices in the hallway. Jeered and Nolan to baseball jocks, had stayed late to practice their hitting. Brian Bond, the kid everyone thought was gay, came down the stairs.
Jeered and Nolan saw him. They made fun of him, and Russ joined in. Min came down as well, she glared at Russ. Min didn't talk to Russ all afternoon and the next day and sat with her old girlscout friends at lunch.
Min wanted to reach out to Brien Bundle, who was an outsider as well. They voted on it, and it didn't pass.
Trish, Gun, Russ, and Kimberly went out to get pizza. They surprised Russ by going to Kimberlys parents cabin that night.
Russel wanted to go home. Gun didn't want to. Kevin picked him up when he called.
At lunch, someone smeared lipstick and rouge on Brian Bund and pushed him in the cafatera to thunderous laughter.
The geography club was no more, because Min wanted to help Brian Bund and her vote didn't pass again.
Russel thought Gun told everyone he was a fag. They were going to try to put the geography club back together. Jered told Russel, everyone thought he was gay.
He was eating lunch with Brien Bund, and getting advice to deal with life now, not always hope for the future. Kevin wasn't talking to Russel. Gun didn't start the rumer, Kimberly did.
Min apologized to Russel. Kevin left Russel, because he was afraid the kids would think he was gay. Kevin wanted to get back together with Russel, but Russel said no.
Gun came over to apologize for how he acted the other night.Gun knew he was gay for five years and was cool with it.
Jerrad apoligezed for yesterday, calling him a fag, which surprised Russel. Brien applied for a gay straight club.
Russel sat at Brians table yet again. The geography club turned into a gay-straight allience.
This book was one of the best non-startrek books I read in a long time. It was about a Russels coming out and all the troubles he had in high school. I really felt what that Russel was going through.
The micro world is all around us. We may not think about it or see it but it does exist. The book was partly written by Michael Crichton and Richard Preston. They both are Science Fiction writers. The book is split into three parts; Tensor, A Band of Humans, and Tantalus. I read it from December 14-31, 2012. It has 529 pages. This was an adventurous book. The micro-world is an ever growing, ever expanding world.
The main characters were graduate students from Cambridge University. Rick Hunter who was an ethnobotonist who studies medicines used by indigenous people. Karen King who was an arachnologist who is an expert in spiders, scorpions and mites. She was also skilled in martial arts. Peter Jansen who was an expert in venoms and envenomations. Erika Moll an entomoligist and coleopterist which is a beetle expert. Amar Singh was a botanist studying plant hormones. Jenny Linn who was a biochemest studying phermones the signaling scents used by animils and plants. Danny Minor was a doctorial student writing a thesis on scientific linguistic codes and paradigm transformation. I liked all the characters, since they all studied a different branch of science. Eric Jenson was the founder of Nanogen and the brother of Rick. This book reminded me of The Andromeda Strain.
Eric comes to Cambridge to ask Rick and his colleagues to come to Hawaii and work for him at Nanogen. He comes in three red convertables, which get everyone's attention. Nanogen is located near the Hawaiian rainforest, so it would be easier to get resources for making drugs.
Nanogen appeared to the public as a regular forty square foot warehouse. The company worked on the creation and improvement of nanotechnology. The smallest were about the size of a thumbtack. The only security the company has is a lock and key.
Marcus Rodriguez was a private investigator hired by Willy Fong for an unknown client. Rodriguez found the client bleeding from a gash which origins were not known. Three men were found dead of similar causes. The police were baffled.
Everyone in Peters family, except Eric, died in a plane crash. Eric struck it rich off a startup. Drug companies were the major backer.of Nanogen.Peter found a tiny model of an airplane in Erics car. After Eric left Cambridge, Peter called him up about this, and was told to bring it to Hawaii when he came. Peter was playing with it. Amar saw it, and asked Peter to see it. Peter gave it to Amar. Under magnification they saw it was very detailed.
Everyone thought Eric was bullshitting them, but that didn't stop them from going to Hawaii. Before they went to Hawaii, Eric sent Peter a text warning him not to come, however Peter never didn't get it until he landed in Hawaii. They learned Eric had a boating accident and went missing presumed dead. Ethenol was the probable cause of the accident. To add to this Eric had no life jacket and made no distress call, however he was an exceptionally strong swimmer.
Alyson Bender, VP and CFO of Nanogen, was standing on the hill overlooking the gulf, where Eric was lost. When questioned by the police, Peter denied knowing her.
When Peter went to the shipyard to look at Erics boat, a man yelled at him saying he needed to register in the office before he could be in the shipyard. Alyson identified him and he was let in.
The grad students met Vin Drake and he gave them a tour of the facility. He caused an alarm to go off and took the students to a room and shrank them. Drake dropped them into a bag and gave them to Alyson, who he told to drop them in the ocean. She was angry at him, because this whole thing was getting out of hand, so she dropped them in the grass not killing them as he wanted.
Vin Drake couldn't trust Alyson, because she carried Peter and his team out of the crate. He had to get rid of her, but couldn't now because all of the police there since Erics disappearance. She entertained the idea of dropping the bag in the surf, but decided against it. Drake was going to blame their disappearance on alcohol.
A Band of Humans
The group wanted to go to the other Nanogen site for a better chance of becoming their normal size. It was only fifteen miles away, however to them it was a hundred times further.
They had to be very careful in the world they were in now. One thing they had to look out for were big headed ants, which are the most ferocious ant in the world. They found out they were a lot stronger in the Micro World. This helped with the perils they faced. They found a supply tent, which was put in place just in case of emergency. They were debating whether to call for help, however they decided against this, for fear of Drake overhearing. They found weapons in the tent which would help them survive the unexpected perils of this world.
Dan Makele, chief of Security, was taking care of the micro-tents, which were set up for micro teams. He was shaking the bunker which the students were in.
Jenny hurt herself bad, they were using a leaf as a stretcher. It started to rain, so they ran under leaves and somehow lost Jenny. They survived the rain, but with heavy losses.
They scared a mosqueto away with a harpoon. After that they got poison from a millipede. Then they took turn standing guard, while the others slept. They heard a Daddy Long Legs pass. They were awakened by Earthworms then heard bats.
They were attacked by a Centipede which trapped Amar on the roof, Karen distracted him, and Amar got down. They saw a butterfly feed off nectar and they did so as well.
They decided to go to Tantelis Base, another Biogen site, to hopefully find people to help them.
Danny woke up to.find himself in a wasps clutches. Karen and Erika jumped off a tree and went through a spiderweb. Amar wanted the group to leave him, he had the Bends and would slow the group down. Amar and Peter died of a sniper shot.
Tantalus
There was an unknown man who was shooting.
Rick didn't know if anyone was still alive. Karen was about to be shot. However, Rick saved her by killing him. A spider saved Karen.She hit it with a rock to make it madder, and he ate the gunman.
Rick, Erika, Karen and Danny were the only survivors. Terrible emptyness fell over them for their lost friends. The fact that Peter was dead really saddened them, because he was their leader. They took the Hexapod, and Rick stated the were driving to Tantalus.
Eric Jenson was at the gate of Nanogen. He couldn't get in to Biogen. He was listening for electronic chatter.
The police found Alyson Bender body. Alyson had Jennys wallet. The hunters who were hired to kill the students were presumed to be dead, so Drake was happy because at least he didn't have to pay them.Drake found out the Hexapod was going to Tantelis base. Amar wanted the group to leave him, he had the Bends and would slow the group up.
Rick was.dissecting a beetle for its poisonous pouch. Dorothy and Wanabe found a minature vacuum. Erika took a swim nude, Rick and Karen joined
Erika was eaten saving Karen, but she was ok in the birds digestive track. Erika lost consiousness when the bird landed. She was formulating a plan to get out. Rick recognized the bird when it came back looking for more food. Rick lodged a harpoon within the birds neck causing the bird to commit, and Karen came out
Dan Wanabe went to Nanogen other location.Makele was talking with Dan. Makele was the head of security at the other.office. Karen was looking for a spider to help Rick. Karen used Wasp venom to incapacitied a spider she needed for Rick. They finally got to Tantalus base.
Ben Rourke welcomed them. Ben was planning to chop Ricks arm off to prevent further infection.Rourke was one of the founders of Nanogen.
The biggest mysterious thing that came from the shrinking was lack of forming blood clots.
Karen was thinking about staying small
They were going to fly to Nanogen. They are going to be so small the shields are not going to register them. Everyone, except Danny, slept within a magnetic chamber.Daniel was outside.
His arm started coming off, a grub was transforming, he called Karen but the magnet she was in was sealed. So he called Drake through a computer but it was giving him trouble because it was after hours. Daniel told Drake all about the base as well as Rouke.
Danny went to the Tantelis branch of Nanogen. He flew between two people kissing by mistake. Then he almost collided with a moth.
Drake burned down the Tantalus site, just as Karen and Rick left. Rouke, unfortunately died. Eric came back looking for people; but couldn't find anyone so he left. Karen got his attention by blinking the lights on her plane and then landed in his hands. She communicated with him by use of her planes radio. She told him what happened to his brother. He took her back to Nangen. Then he was going to speak with Drake.
Drake sent bots after Rick and Karen. The bots cut through both their wings, making them both eject. A bot killed Rick by cutting through his forehead to his eye. Then the police arrived and were told what to expect by Eric. They asked Drake to come out immediately.
Eric and Drake fell in the generator. Drake landing on top of Eric. Eric got the controller and smashed it. They both lunged for the gun. Drake shot Eric in the thigh. Drake lied to Eric saying he did everything to save his brother.
Karen and Rick went in the Hexagon and became normal sized and the bot was the size of a refrigerator. Drake was locked in the generator with hundreds of Micro bots and big bot. The police called and he begged them to get him, however the gigantic bot killed Drake. They brought an industrial size magnet to get the bots out after they went through Decon. The big bot, however, drilled through the floor of the generator. Edward Catel was still in Nanogen. He took the data from Nanogen.
Karen saw a humpback from here camp on the beach with Rick. Karen was intent on finding a way back to the micro-world. Once something was invented it was out there. Karen saw a reflecting in the air and it could of been a plane.
The micro world has its own logic and adventures that appear to be much different then our own. They are just the same as ours in the normal sized world. However, that you are tiny, so they seem very magnified. This is only a perception.
The different times brought a new age of supernatural entities. In the 1950-1960 there were a lot of mutants that became such through a radiation accident, dracula and the like. In the 1970s posessions were in, The Exorcist. Followed in the 1980s by slashed and fairies, such as, Tinkerbell. Now there is ghost stories such as Ghost Hunters, which make death less scary.
Dr. Who started in 1963. The TARDIS stands for time and relative dimension in space. Originally the TARDIS had a chameleon circuit inside of it, which would enable it to shapeshift to blend in to its surroundings.
Britain represented the Earth as in Startrek the United States represents the Earth. Surprisingly in 2011, Dr.Who outsold Modern Family and Glee. It was closer to fantasy then science fiction show. Funny how it increased bowtie sales worldwide. When the doctor regenerates, a different actor plays him.
"Welcome to our genitic world. Fast. Furious and out of control. This is not the world of the future. It's the world of the now."
"Next" is a fantastic book to end the Michaels reign of the pen and a great way to hang up his writing gloves. I will surely miss his writing style as well as his directing style. He has written such masterpieces as Jurrasic Park and The Lost World, which were made into movies.
"Next," is the last book he wrote, with such an appropriate title was about the genetic world, and what is happening, and also he discusses what will happen if we are not careful and cautious.
In almost all of his books, they were in some way having to do with science which is probably because he was a medical student in his youth.
Most of his books begins with some quotation. The quote that started this book so masterfully is: "The more the universe seems comprehensible the more it also seems pointless."
To me this means, the more we pay attention to the details, the interest that the larger picture dwindled. This describes life in all ways. The more you figit with the little things, the more the pointlessness of reality takes hold. For instance, in a puzzle, when you work on a particular section you can't really see the whole picture, until you have finished with the whole layout. However sometimes you cannot figure out the whole picture if you haven't done of the details to the best of your knowledge.
The story begins with the discovery of a novelty gene, D4DR, which is in charge of thrill seeking behaviour. It also makes reference to some of the Chimpanzees man experiments that were conducted under both Stalin and Hitler. Then the story continues to a conference called "Make it happen now."
It then is back to the interactionof a Chimpanzees boy at school and how he gets terrorized at school. The chimp boy was home school because of this. When he went to school one day, he ended up biting a boy, or being accused of this, because of this his serogate mother was called and he was removed.
When the introduction of a species to another must be handled very delicately. Meaning you cannot force similar relations. In essence they have to occur spontaneously. If and when they occur properly they have a greater possibility of success. After all, aren't familiar relations a spontaneous response to begin with? How can you constructs and organize a spontaneous response.
This novel is by Seth Green. He wrote Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It had 396 pages. Within those pages are three parts: when he was a boy, when he was mainly a.vampire hunter, and when he was the President of the United States. He had two major loves Anne and Mary-Todd.
BOY
Lincoln killed his first vampire at 7. He then went without food for the next two weeks as his family ate the kill. Abe had a brother who died a month after birth. His mother taught him to read despite his fathers objection. He and his father, Thomas, were both good storytellers. Thomas was considered the best carpenter so work was easy to find. He made a tiny one room schoolhouse, which Abe attended. He only attended school for a year total, though.
His mother died when he was nine. Thomas got married a year later. His new wife encouraged Abe to read as well even though she was illiterate.On Abe's 11th birthday Sarah got him a journal.
Abe's father watched his dad die before his 21st.birthday, by a vampire and his mother also. This caused Abe to want to kill every vampire in America. Sarah liked how Abe read. She adored him.

He awoke with Henry Stuffed, who had rescued him, and asked immediately about the boy, who was safe now.
His belonging which Abe lost were rescued.
Abe asked why he didn't kill him. Henry responded with "are vampires not individuals." He was obsessed with searching for the source.Only those Vampires possessing the strongest will, survive past the fourth century not bored. Henry taught Abe how to hunt vampires.
By the nineteenth year of his life, Abe had filled his journal. He then meets Edger Allen Poe who he mistakes for for a vampire because of his black dressings. Poe met his first vampire when he was writing.

Vampire Hunter
He was introduced to Graham Offutt, who was a schoolteacher and shared Abe's love for books.
Graham proofread and corrected Abe's writing.
Abe vampire hunting stopped for the time being until he was stopped by a vampire. Jack wanted to know all that Abe know about killing vampires.
Abe lost his job due to a store opening closer to the river. He continues to train Jack.
Abe was elected to serve captain of his platoon against the Indians. He led a person who played an important role in his political career, John Todd Stuart, the cousin of his to be wife. 23 votes separated him from a seat in Congress. He set out to run a profitable store in New Salem. His store closed with a $200 dollar dept. He was elected to Illinois State Legislators on August 4, 1834.

John MacNamer posed the only real threat to their happiness, because he asked for her hand already. Ann died, when John came and visited her.Just like Abe's mother, she died by a vampire.
Abe wrote Henry and asked him to kill John. For the next few days Abe was stripped of all his weapons for fear of him killing himself. He almost killed himself with a rifle his friends forgot but at the last moment did not. Henry offered Abe to bring her back, he refused because it would not be the same.
Henry then captured John, the person who killed Ann, and offered Abe to take his vampirous life.
Henry killed Ann. It took Abe a while to get over her death. He won't help others because there was no profit in it. Abe now was a legislature, so his vampire huntings were left when he traveled from town to town with his fellow judges. Lincoln was fighting Elizabeth Schildhaus.
He killed her by use of fire. He used to set vampire houses on fire in mid day and they would either burn by flame or light.He thought less of Anne Rutledge for his legislature duties in the day and his hunting of vampires at night. Stuart introduced his sister Mary Todd, to Lincoln. They both lost their mothers early in their life. She and Abe were engaged in 1820. Mary Todds father had slaves for his mansion. He got her fathers permission.
He broke off the engagement with Mary. He went to Lexington and saw tons of slaves. In the house in Lexington his nightmares were no more. The sight of slaves make him sick. Speed didn't mourn his fathers death because of what he did for slave and vampires. A vampire was fighting with Speed
Abe saved him. Abe got married to Mary Todd.They had a son, Robert. In 1843 he hung up his hunting of vampires and won state legislature. A vampire, Armstrong, was teaching anatomy. Abe was told of a Dr Joseph McDowells laboratory with humans waiting to be harvested on shelves.
Jack ruined the lab with a gun shot through the tombs.
On August 3, 1846, Abe was elected to the House.He arrived in DC in December of the following year. Had a son Edward Baker in March.of 1846.Washington DC wasn't completed when he took office or in his lifetime. He didn't like the abundance of slaves in DC. Abe introduced a bill to end slavery that never past. There was so much talk of vampires within DC.
Abe had a dream of his house being robed and vampires killing his son. Vampires seemed freedom in Europe so they came to America.America let the vampire consentration out of Europe. Abe didn't run for congress after his term
Both his boys were killed. Mary-Todd didn't know about vampires or that her husband killed them. Abe had another son, William. In 1857, Abe survived his first assination attempt. Abe dreamt he was at a play of Macbeth, and the friends he went with and his wife died. His voyage to the White House began February 11, 1861.
Just a month after election South Dakota suceeded. Three days Abe left, the south made a Constitution. On March 4, 1861 he was sworn in.
The first shot of the war was on April 11, 1861. Vampires were fighting with the South. Lincolns son, Willie, got sick because he was bitten, his father saw that he was cared for by the best doctors, he died. Lincoln wanted to strike God down because he took his son.
Mary mourned her son for a very long time. After Gettysburg, Lemon resigned his position as Abe's vampire bodyguard. When Abe began his second term the war was almost over. April 9, 1865 the war officially ended. Vampires moved to South America, Europe and the Orient. John Wilkes Booth was a vampire. John was a very emotional actor, he had outburst. His first shot didn't kill Abe. He died two days later

Memory often slips away with age or certain injuries. Sometimes it is so well covered up, that it seems to be lost, until something, anything small happens to remind you of the event that is hidden from the light. This book is about a troubled adopted baby and her life to the finding of her mom. Within its three parts and its three hundred sixty five pages, it really shows you how many problems a child has, let alone just being adopted. From a lousy home life to looking forward to school simply because of the free lunches, this really makes you think about what being human really entails.
PART 1
Hannahs family was religious. Hannah had an adopted sister named Bethlehem Rose. Everyone called Bethlehem Bethie for short. Hannah was six months older than Bethie, and she was a genius in school. Bethie, on the other hand, didn't talk until she was six. She went to speech classes because of this. She also learned sign language.

Aka White Whale
By Herman Melville
The sea is a majestic entity. That which the Greeks gave a separate God to is unique and awe-inspiring. Some see it as life eternal and others a mere entity, however no one has a greater respect for it than the people who sail on the great waves. No passenger has enjoyed it as much as Ishmael, or so it is said. He always goes to sea as a sailor. Sailors always get paid, the amount is dependant on what they do, of course. However the hardest job is of being a captain, for the mere fact of keeping track of the finances.
The monstereosous whale peaked his curiosity because his power was unmatched by any other living thing. He was more powerful than Alexander the Great who was one of the mightiest emperor's in known history. He owned the sea as Alexander owned Persian Empire.
Captain Peleg who preceded Captain Ahab was obsessed with the boat. As it was being repaired from a recent whaling expedition he hadn't left it, to make sure it all was going well.
Whaling vessels are more likely of accidents then any other ship. It has extras of all exept the captain or the crew.
Ahab had a sister. Her name was Charity. She was extremely charitable with the crew. She brought them all they needed and desired.
Ahab is known as "Old Thunder." He's the captain of the Pequad. His first mention is of him being sick. He is first mentioned losing a leg on a whaling expedition. He got injured off the Cape of Good Horn, which is off Africa. He is known to be a good whale hunter as well as captain.
Starbuck was Ahabs first officer. He was a very tough man. His skin was very tough, both physically as well as emotionally. His skin was baked from the sun, even though he grew up in the cold parts. He was not afraid to go whaling and did not fear the legend of Moby Dick. Courage was as much a way of life for him, as a useful essence to be used.
Whalemen have royal blood within their veins. For the whale is said to be a royal fish. The dignity in whaling is great. Men have devoted their entire life to this. There is said to be a man who took 350 whales in his life.
Ahab was a superstitious man from his intellect of the sea. Starbuck would not have a man, especially a captain, who wasn't afraid of a whale; for the best courage is not the absence of fear but the knowledge that something's greater than your fear. This courage was in rare supply, and not to be wasted foolishly. Starbuck thought this was a great staple of not only fishery, but life itself.
Starbuck had lost his brother and father. These events gave him even more courage. His bravery was truly intrepid. These aspects help him in his fishery because his strength gave him drive as well as risk taking ability which surpassed others by far.
Stubbs was the second mate. He was happy taking life as it unfolded. He thought their is no telling when death will come, so live life as you were going to. His pipe also helped him cope.
