Very organized and professional. Linderhof castle is breath taking!!! A real nice unexpected surprise! One of the most beautiful castles i ever visited (talking abt the inside decoration not the castle architecture) It is as beautiful, if not more, than Versaille. This tour is a MUST do in Munich
Great trip to castles and Oberamergau.
Weather cooperated, which was good for late September!
We really loved tour. Right amount of time for each stop. While we could have stayed a day at each location, we didn't have that luxury. So with that in mind, we saw everything we wanted to see in one day.
The castle tour was great, tour was on time Elizabeth and Simon did a great job, getting tickets was easy we avoided long queues, lunch reservations were made in advance, tables were waiting when we arrived. It was a great day well worth it and would highly recommend
The pure splendor of these castles cannot be described in words. Mesmerising views especially atop the hills of Neuschwanstein. Although it was a pity that during my visit in winter, the outdoor statues at Linderhof was covered for protection.
It was fabulous! The tour guide was so good, She had the schedule down to the minute, had an interesting commentary during the journey, friendly, made the trip fun. The bus driver was awesome also, smooth ride, great trip. The layout of the tour was just what we had hoped for. We loved the castles and the countryside that we traveled through.
It was wonderful trip.
We had a lot of time to visit all castles
Our tour was fantastic !!
we had a great time and the castles were a sight to behold
This tour was great and our guide Monica was fantastic. She had great knowledge about all the places we drove through and the main attractions. A little more time in some of the stops would be good but overall an amazing experience !
great but be prepared to walk a lot especially uphill
Wonderful trip! Great guide and driver!
This tour was amazing!
Wonderful trip into Bavaria to visit the castles. Very well organised tour and an extremely knowledgable tour guide. I wonder whether it would be worth cutting out the stop in Oberammergau. It's a lovely little place but that time would probably be better spent at Neuschwanstein. Beautiful memories!
This tour was amazing. The tour guide was fantastic . Spoke English realy good with a British accent. It took about ten hrs. Wish the weather was better. Found out that the Germans are very prompt. So if they say the bus lease at 8am. You better be there at that time. Great time.
Stunningly gorgeous. Neuschwanstein is simply amazing, a must see for anyone in the area. Seeing the castle as you walk up to mountain towards it is breathtaking. When you finally get to the top (a 15 minute walk), you can then choose to go yet further up. This is also a must do, you can climb up to a bridge that overlooks the castle. This is where the beautiful photos really come from, as you can get a bird's eye few of the castle, and the land falling away behind it. Linderhof was more of an interesting place, than it was gorgeous. The castle is full of eccentricities, that make it interesting but also far out of touch with todays tastes. That being said, the trip into the alps, and simply being in that mountain range around Linderhof is worth the trip. Unbelievable area, gorgeous landscape, fresh air! The trip to that area alone, made the trip to Linderhof worth it.
All told, this trip really makes for a fairy-tale day, with the mountain ranges, fantastic castles and quaint little villages.
The whole tour was fantastic but Mother Nature had other plans-heavy fog that blocked any views. Our guide was great, informative and personable. Would do it all over again. Well run! We rate the tour as a five star. Definitely worth it.

Renting land for garden in/near Tuscaloosa
I am about to move into an apartment in Tuscaloosa (North of the river) and am looking for some land to possibly rent? Or something..just so that I can have a real garden versus some pots on my balcony. I'm open to most any option, just curious as to what I could do! I'd love to hear any suggestions/ideas you may have! Thanks so much!!
If you really want to rent a piece of land, I'd put ads on Craigslist for Tuscaloosa. Under the "for sale" section I'd put one in "Wanted", "Farm & Garden" & "General". I think your ad will be seen there more than anywhere else. But since ads turn over pretty quick on Craigslist you may have to place them more than once before you get any responses. But hey, at least it's free.
I'd also ask around at nurseries, garden shops, the local county extension office to see if they know of any community gardens already in existence in your area. There could be one already going that you don't know about.
And if you're renting in an apartment complex you might approach the mgmt. about starting a small community garden somewhere on the grounds to be shared by the residents. Just a thought.
Good luck!

New fund opens up access to extracurricular activities
When money is tight and just putting food on the table is a struggle, it's impossible to provide things like swimming lessons, summer camp or therapy. That's the reality some families at 360 Communities Rosemount Family Resource Center face.
Volunteer coordinator Shira Rabinowicz has long wanted a fund to help provide extracurricular activities to school-aged kids at the center but budget restraints just wouldn't allow it. So the Rosemount Rotary Club stepped in.

Valentine's Day, RTC buses, Metro works add to the woes
Traffic snarls continued for the second successive day in the twin cities as the ongoing marriage season peaked on Thursday. With a combination of the Valentine's Day celebrations and marriages all over, most roads packed to capacity as vehicles moved in and out of the numerous hotels, function palaces and other venues.
With most marriage halls located on the far ends of the capital, roads leading to these areas witnessed heavy concentration of vehicles. These areas include Champapet, Uppal, Nagole, Secunderabad Cantonment, Mehdipatnam, Retibowli, Dilsukhnagar and also a few localities around Madhapur.
Adding to the congestion was VIP movement in these areas as several bigwigs from the Chief Minister to the senior officials criss-crossed the city blessing the newly-weds.
"Being a normal working day, the traffic flow will be usually heavy on Thursday. Apart from this, the combination of the Valentine Day and the large number of marriages being performed has increased the traffic volume," a senior police official said.
Rise in number of buses
Special RTC buses coming from districts along with many private carriers also contributed their share in increasing the burden of already creaking road infrastructure thus aggravating the problems of the city motorists.
People have also been facing the slow movement of vehicles or traffic jams on the metro rail corridors where the construction of piers is in full-swing as in Nagole, Miyapur, Begumpet and other sites.

simply the best biriyani in the whole of melbourne.. both chicken and lamb.. just awesome and yummylicious!
3 Days in Melbourne
One Day in Melbourne
Guide to Melbourne Outdoors
Pros: Nothing
1. Very very expensive
2. Orders a baby corn starter costs 20$ and quantity was for 2$, taste was also rubbish
Not going again
Love the veg biryani, Gobi Manchuri and Dosa here. My husband enjoys Goat and chicken biryani. Price is bit expensive but tasty food. Great place for friends , coupled or family. It's inside the Melbourne central. Gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights.
The restaurant served Malay food, it was fresh & good although not very exceptional.
We had beef curry which is quite nice, shrimp was also fresh & delicious. I also recommend the duck in coconut broth.
The place was busy and full of customers and overall it was a good place to get malay food.
We arrived close to 3pm before they close for lunch break so we weren't sure if they will serve us. Upon inquiry to the kitchen they gladly did. We really appreciated their efforts. Two mains, a roti with sauce and two teh tarik later we were satisfied customers. Give it a try very reasonable price food.
The worst Malaysian food o have ever eaten. Couldn't really tell which dish was which, first course arrived but no cutlery. Then it turned out to be the wrong dish. Don't bother with this place.
One of the good place to have a good indian desi food in melbourne!!! Must go if seeking for variety!!! Thank u!!!

A little difficult to find but once you do you wont regret it. Great food at very good prices. A regular dinner spot.

ATLANTA - DECEMBER 06: Michael Vick #7 of the Philadelphia Eagles rushes upfield against the Atlanta Falcons at Georgia Dome on December 6, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
Per a report from Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com, citing the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will not be will be willing to renegotiate his contract in order to remain with the team. It may be Vick's intention to force a release since he is due $15.5 million, a number that is highly doubtful the Eagles would pay him. Although it is unlikely any other team would pay Vick anywhere near that amount, if he is released in early February, Vick would be weeks ahead of other players in the free agent market. The early February release is speculation based on the $3 million guaranteed the Eagles would owe him if he was on the roster. Interesting that Vick would refuse to bend a little for the only team that would give him a chance once he re-entered the NFL. Vick signed with the Eagles as a free agent in 2009, and after seeing sparse action in the first year, he had a career year in 2010. Playing 12 games, he completed 62.6% of his passes for 3,018 (then a career high), 21 touchdowns and four interceptions, good for a career-best 100.2 passer rating. The 2011 season showed some regression from his 2010 season, where he threw for a career high 3.303 yards to go with 18 touchdowns, but also had 14 interceptions and his passer rating dipped to 84.9. This season, Vick has struggled with turnovers and injuries behind an injury-riddled offensive line and after suffering a severe concussion, he has missed the last seven games. He is slated to start in the Eagles season finale in what could be a final audition for teams that could be interested in Vick once the season ends. The post Report: Michael Vick Will Not Renegotiate Contract appeared first on DOWN & DISTANCE.

" Jeff and Vinny's comments whenever Ghoul came up during Shuffle Time were hilarious.
gamerover's forum posts
"@PeasForFees said:I would have to disagree with you then. the other times they were wiped out it was some boss fight or the fight was already going downhill. Today's episode 81 it was a simple routine battle that in the first round of move GG. Vinny's expression was priceless and was definitely a moment. "" I would disagree, that moment is very similar to the other 5 times the were wiped out "
I've been taking a break from playing 'real games' over the past 8 months or so. Been staying on Giant Bomb though so I'll have a stackload of recommendations ready for when I'm ready to dive in again.
The Hama right at the end was probably the best moment in recent memory. Too bad they'll have to spend another hour recompleting everything.
Aside from that, all of the running jokes about Funky Student, Fox and the Meat Dimension also probably rate fairly highly.
I know that Metal_Gear_Sunny has sort of already started this but I thought that it would be a good idea given that we're coming up to episode 100 that some of the best moments from the Endurance Run get compiled together into one awesome video. While I would like to re-comb through all of the goodness, if you would like to list your favorite moments (preferably with an episode number and time), then I might just have the time to render a best-off video before the centenary episode.
Its a shame that it came down to this. Why did the guy think that by doing this, he would get anywhere in the first place? I kinda feel sorry for the guy, not in that he couldn't release it, but because he obviously needs some help given what he's tried to do over the past few weeks. Not that I'm thinking it'd be any good, but hopefully that game will end up somewhere so that some people will have a chance to take a look at it.

"Can you imagine Brad's voice while making important Presidential speeches?
'This is a day that will live in infamy...'"
"your right, together they are like a Giantbomb!"Before you know it, their gonna make a video about it. Now that would really make the community go haywire.

I'm trying to use TIpsy http://plugins.jquery.com/project/tipsy to show usernames when hovering over linked images.
Here's my HTML for the linked images:

As you can see, I'm using the same class, because I want the names to appear differently for each image.
Sadly, I can't seem to get it to work on an individual basis for classed items, it seems to only work for items with individual IDs.
Here's my jquery Code:
// Show username above each .user_tile image
$('.user_tile').tipsy({gravity: 's'});
The issue is that, the "tip" appears next to only the first '.user_tile' element.
As you can see from this image, the 'Tip' is no appearing above the relevant images.

San Antonio Preparing to Arrest Christians Who Speak Out on the BibleSubmitted by Ed Thinking on Sun, 07/28/2013 - 08:48
The San Antonio City Council is about to adopt an ordinance that could get any Christian arrested for preaching the Bible or sharing their faith. They are looking at passing some nondiscrimination ordinances that would make it a crime to exhibit or express any form of bias that could offend someone. The proposed ordinance says:
"No person shall be appointed to a position if the city council finds that such person has, prior to such proposed appointment, engaged in discrimination or demonstrated a bias, by word or deed, against any person, group or organization on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, age, or disability."
Anyone found guilty of violating the new ordinance would be given a lifetime ban from being able to hold a city job, being involved with city government or even doing business with the city.
In other words, if a Christian works for the city as a garbage collector or street repair and they tell someone that the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, they could lose their job for expressing their bias. Or, if you contracted with the city to provide a service, say computer maintenance or repair and you quoted what the Bible says about homosexuality, you could lose your contract with the city.

I say bring back gladiatorial
I say bring back gladiatorial arenas. As long as "Christians" are going to scream about how persecuted they are, might as well get our money's worth.
self refuting law.
"The proposed ordinance says:
"No person shall be appointed to a position if the city council finds that such person has, prior to such proposed appointment, engaged in discrimination or demonstrated a bias, by word or deed, against any ... religion, ...""
So basically, whoever supports this ordinance is guilty of what it addresses and should be removed from office.
I could also see this being abused with false accusations used to remove people from office.
Where does it say arrest anyone?
It's still stupid but I don't see any mention of arrest or fining.
It's pretty much a too intrusive job application.
There is some community in MA, I think Middleboro(I could be wrong on the town), that passed an ordinance banning swearing in public parks and proposed a fine for doing so.
Settlers came from Europe to escape religious persecution.
Now their descendents spit on their ancestors by accepting this nonsense.
We live in an ever increasing immoral society.
This is not the first instance of suppression of truth and will by no means be the last.

Mike and his family were super guests. A very friendly family, really pleasant and straightforward to deal with, and highly appreciative & respectful of the house which they left in perfect order. They were also very interested and keen to explore the local area, and seemed to really enjoy what it has to offer (connecting with their Irish roots along the way). Overall you couldn't ask for better guests, and I would be delighted to welcome them back any time. Enjoy the rest of your trip guys!
To meet Mike, Allison and their two teens Megan and Adam was a great experience. They are all pleasant, friendly, smiling and warm people. Everything was easy (even when my cooktops broke down obliging them to get organized otherwise!). Our exchanges were rich and enriching.
Concerning the apartment, they took great care of it and everything was perfect when they left. I warmly recommend them!
I thank them for everything and for the kind gesture they had before leaving: a so nice art reproduction with kind words
People very friendly, careful with the apartment . Always welcome my house
Voyageurs très sympathiques et respectueux des lieux.
Recommandés par "Secondflooravignon" !
Mike and his family were absolutely delightful. We had a chance to talked when they first arrived, and they all were very keen on finding out all they could do and discover in our region. They were perfect guests too! They took great care of our apartment and left us the sweetest note in gratitude. This is one of the best things about Airbnb. You meet great people like Mike and his family.
Fantastic experience! Allison and Mike, and the kids, are a fantastic family and they are more, more than guests. They let me a letter with a drawing of an artist from Ontario. They washed the towels, they let the house clean and tidy. But the most important think is their smile, their joy. Thanks for your words, I am happy to have meet you and I will think to you!

Google Apologizes For Berlin Street Being Renamed "Adolf Hitler Platz" On Google Maps
In a story reported by NBCNews.com's World News, the popular Berlin square Theodor Heuss Platz was momentarily renamed "Adolf Hitler Platz" on Google Maps.
Google apologized for the error in an email sent to NBC, stating, "We were made aware of a wrong and inappropriate Berlin street name on Google Maps and have corrected this as quickly as possible."
Spotted by a Google Maps user, NBC said Google didn't know how long the inappropriate street name had been listed on Google Maps; although, the news network claimed local media reports suggest the error had been in place for a couple of hours.
Most likely, the street name had been changed via Google's Map Maker, a tool that allows users to contribute to and edit Google Maps. According to the report, Google executives said they, "Had no explanation for the incident, but are now investigating the error."
German Internet expert and blogger Sascha Lobo explained to NBC News that during Hitler's rise to power, the street was at one time named after the leader of the Nazi Party. "The name Adolf Hitler Platz was then probably approved because it is historically correct," said Lobo.
I was at Adolf Hitler Square today—as of GoogleMaps. I thought sb. renamed it before the WWW https://t.co/mT5dal25zz pic.twitter.com/HSxUHZIEEC

Anyone using par38 LED's in the kitchen?
Hi All,
I tried a few of the feit Par 38 LED's available from HD. They light up instantly, are quiet and have great color and brightness. Only thing I find is the light is so concentrated that the counter below the light is great, I could do surgery there is so much light. Trouble is the diffuse light common with a par30 standard light or CFL doesn't seem to be there. Also I get quite a shadow under the upper cabinet despite my xenon undercabinet lighting. I don't know what the beam spread of the bulbs are but I really like them otherwise. Any ideas or opinions?
Recessed cans are already directional lighting devices with no indirect component. Add to that the fact that LEDs are by nature directional, and you have what you see.
If CFs give a beamspread that you find satisfactory, that would be the way to go.
Alternatively, you might install one or two good quality linear-lamp fluorescent fixture(s) in the middle of the ceiling, to provide better general room lighting. That way you could use the LEDeified cans for what they're good at - accent lights.
There are LED bulbs out there that have a beam spread like a flood light. You may have purchased a spot light. Here is a website I've been looking to buy some bulbs from. Scroll down and you will see some of these bulbs have as little as 25 degree beam but some have 100-120 degree beam (flood)
Here is a link that might be useful: LED bulbs

3.0 out of 5 stars Magic strikes but doesn't quite hit the mark
It's 2 months since MAGIC BURNS. Up to her eyes in work when the tech dominance ends, the last thing Kate Daniels needs is for Saiman to tell her that he's caught the young werewolf Derek breaking into his apartment. Knowing what Saiman is capable of Kate has no choice but to come to Derek's aid. Doing so involves her in the Midnight Games, an illegal preternatural...

The third book in the Kate Daniels series, MAGIC STRIKES is just as brilliant as the first two. Stop reading here if you're a newbie-go back to MAGIC BITES and start there! Promise you won't regret it.
Anyways, in Magic Strikes we are introduced to the Midnight Games, part-owned by Saiman (the shape-shifting "sexual deviant" who wants into kates pants), where teams of 7 sign up to battle it out to the death in the arena. It kinda reminded me of gladiators. With her usual skill, Andrews manages to think up new and varied weapons, creatures, fights and gruesome wounds, all of which are a delight to read (in a non-wierd way) just because they are so original in such a saturated market. Although it is more of an urban fantasy, and not a paranormal fantasy as I am prone to reading, you still get to a saturation point where you feel like you've seen/read it all before.
This is part of the reason why the series is so good-not only are the characters well-fleshed out and believable, they are original too. Same goes for Atlanta, same goes for the magic/technical mix, same goes for the love affair between Kate and Curran...all are written about with just enough skill and detail to get you hooked and caring, but not so much that you switch off with boredom.
Mmmm Curran...where to start...the sexual tension that is ripe throughout Magic Bites and Magic Burns, is cranked up a notch (or two) in Strikes, and is all the more delicious for it. Another thing that Andrews has done so well: instead of falling straight in-love and straight into bed, you actually believe that these two characters are made for each other. In fact, only in this book have I noticed that Kate is starting to describe Curran as a bit of a hunk; not that we all failed to notice, but at least it is personality first and looks second for these two, which also makes a nice change from many of the other love stories out there!
Back to the plot: behind the Midnight-Games is a dark plot that threatens the shapeshifting community, and when shapeshifters start turning up dead or seriously injured, Kate steps in to investigate.
We learn more about the histories of quite a few characters in Strikes, which bulks them out even more, and even more 'hints' are dropped about Kate and her bloodline. If you didn't work it out from the previous two books then you will from this one.
I can't really write much else without giving the plot away; needless to say, if you loved the previous two books, then this one is a keeper. More of the same, but with all the same originality, this series certainly isn't boring or predictable when it comes to its plot-lines...although by the end of Strikes I think it is fairly obvious what the basic plot outline of the sequal is going to be. 'Uh oh' is all I can say...
I personally cannot wait for the next book to come out. Write faster please!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kate is back and as kick-ass as ever - oh it's soooo good!,
L. Stubbs (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I have waited 10 months to read this book and it was defiantly worth it.
The story starts two months after Magic Burns and the results of the flare in Atlanta have left kate working long hours leaving her tired and overworked, to top off her day she receives a call from the order to investigate a Pack death and another call from Saiman to rescue Derek...All in a days work!
Kate gets herself entangled in Pack problems between Jim and Curran (not a bad place to be) and trying to save one of her friends while trying to hide from Roland. This is Kate's biggest challange so far and her friends new and old are right there with her. Andrea, Raphael, Derek, Doc Doolittle and Julie are back and we are introduced to some new characters as well.
Kate and Curran's developing relationship is brilliantly written and is not forced, it moves slowly which run's true to Kate & her worries but boy is there alot of sexual tension.
There are some hilarious scenes in this book especially the story told by Raphael about is mum and dads courtship, my husband thought i was crazy i was laughing so hard:)
This story like the previous books magic bites and magic burns is excellantly written and is the best Urban Fantasy series around, A must read.
Ilona please dont make us wait another year for the next book we need another one NOW......

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome,
Claire Mill "Cem" (England) - See all my reviews
I really can't say how much I love this book and I don't really want to give anything about it away either. I love this whole series because it's dark and gritty, but with great humor and there is something very real and believable about Kate. And that continues through the other characters too and how she interacts with them. Her relationship with the Beast Lord, Curran for example. Not smooth sailing, not the usual kind of relationship you find in urban fantasy books. It can be really volitile and they have seriously tried to kill each other multipul times. Also, it isn't something where they fell for each other at first sight. It's developed slowly through the first three books and it's much better for it.
Magic Strikes completely lives up to the expectations from the previous two books. It reveals more of Kate's hidden past and sees her come closer and closer to showing everyone who she is in order to keep her friends alive. We also learn a little more about certain members of the pack, and just how much they care for each other. The idea of the Midnight Games is done well, with enough on it and enough shown without it being constant fight, fight, fight. And I think this book has some of the funniest lines I've read, several laugh-out-loud moments (not least of which is the final page, making it a great ending!).
Easily the best book I've read in the past few months and some of the very best newer Urban Fantasy around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fan-Flamin-Tastic,
Ellis Turner "Book Worm" (wolverhampton) - See all my reviews
I am a huge fan of the Kate Daniels series and i always look forward to the next installment. I have to say Magic Strikes does not dissapoint it is easily my favorite of the series so far.
The setting for this one is the midnight games an anything goes fighting tournament which Kate enters in an attempt to find out who brutally beat Derek her friend and werewolf sidekick. Through this tournament kates big secret is finally revealed.
I also love the way Andrews has developed the relationship between Kate and Curran (Swoon). Troughout magic burns it seemed like curran was playing a game he was determined to win, but towards the end of this book he proves how much he really cares about her. i was also glad to see things finally getting steamy between the two of them (hot tub scene).
I found this book highly entertaining and had me laughing out loud especially after their first fight in the pit
I can't wait for the next installment Ilona Andrews please write faster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action chick,
E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
Ilona Andrews is one of those rare urban fantasy authors who just keeps getting better and better with each book.
Seriously, the woman spins up lightning-fast action, magic and a strong, self-deprecating heroine who knows her way around the sword like few ever could. Her third Kate Daniels book "Magic Strikes" is a brilliant example of all three -- Andrews has gotten solid footing in her unstable, magic-soaked world, and spins an elaborate story with no easy answers or solutions.
Kate was already having a rotten night (involving an elderly banshee on a telephone pole) when Saiman called -- her werewolf buddy Derek tried to break into his apartment.
To save Derek's hide (and avoid charges), Kate agrees to accompany Saiman to the Midnight Games, a fighting-anime-style tournament where supernaturals of all kinds fight to the death. It turns out that both Saiman and Derek are interested in the Reapers, a gang of inexplicably powerful humans who are winning round after round. Unfortunately, Curran has forbidden any weres to get involved in the Games (due to a past disaster involving a werebear).
At the same time, there are a series of killings in Atlanta -- horribly murdered weres that somehow didn't change shape -- which Jim has kept secret. When Derek is found beaten and savaged almost to death, Kate involves herself deeper by following the Reapers into their jungle lair... only to discover their true horrible nature, and a magical stone that may be able to destroy all the weres. The only way to stop the Reapers: win the tournament!
Ilona Andrews is rapidly becoming a sort of female Jim Butcher -- her books are made out of a tangle of interconnected subplots, a tough heroine with a very unglamorous job, and lots of werebeasties, monsters, and mythic creatures. "Magic Strikes" actually jumps up another notch above "Magic Burns," especially since Andrews reveals some interesting new facts about the characters (for instance, we FINALLY learn what Saiman really is -- and it's a shock).
Fortunately she also has the writing chops to keep the storyline moving, mainly because of her horrific descriptions of the disfigured and dismembered weres (including poor Derek, who gets turned into hamburger) and the savage magical duels in the Games. But there's also some wonderfully snappy lines ("I drive you mad and you want to strangle me." "Once! I did it once!") and some moments of relaxed humour (Raphael's tale of how his dad won his mom).
She also delves into some unusual monsters for an urban fantasy -- the rakshasa, Indian monsters with lotsa powers and not too much brains. Also in the games: a very old vampire, a lamia, an oni, a Fu lion, a silver golem, and so on.
Though she was once too angry and gung-ho, Kate is now an outstanding urbfantasy heroine -- she's tough, strong, caring and has a rather unglamorous job and self-deprecating sense of humor. She also spends most of the book doing the sexual-tension tango with Curran, who finds his iron-clad laws in conflict with the Pack's well-being. And Andrews shows a bit more of the personalities of the mysterious trickster Saiman (including his TRUE form) and the werewolf teen Derek.
"Magic Strikes" is a brilliant blend of gritty fantasy, high-speed action and twisty-turny conspiracy -- and it promises to become even more thrilling in future. Fans of strong women and lots of action need apply.

M. O'Toole "Avid Reader" (Ardee, Ireland) - See all my reviews
I had so much to do this morning, but I foolishly picked up this book, which I got late yesterday, thinking to just read a couple of chapters while I had a cup of tea.
3 hours has now passed, my child is hungry, my kitchen is still wreaked, but I've finished the best book I've read in months.
If you haven't read the first two, do that first, you'll spoil it if you don't.
One last thought - I understand and appreciate that fabulous books are worth waiting for, but please don't keep us waiting so long for the next one...

lili (london) - See all my reviews
I have been looking around for ages to finally find a book as good as this one.
Ilona Andrews (Ilona and her husband Gordon) is an amazing writer: an original universe, amazing characters that manage to stay human despite their 'magical' abilities, a great writing style, great action and story line and witty dialogues. THE BEST BOOK OF ITS GENRE. The romance, which is very secondary to the plot, is also extremely well written. I love Curran and Kate!
I hope someone would make a film or a tv series based on it. It has all the keys to success. I think that by the time the series finish this will become cult. It is just perfect! And I can't wait for more (unfortunately I will have to wait a whole year for Book 4!)

5.0 out of 5 stars It gets better and better and better...,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Magic Strikes (Kate Daniels, Book 3) (Paperback)
When magic strikes and Atlanta goes to pieces, it's a job for Kate Daniels! Drafted into working for the Order of Merciful Aid, mercenary Kate Daniels has more paranormal problems than she knows what to do with these days. And in Atlanta, where magic comes and goes like the tide, that's saying a lot. But when Kate's werewolf friend Derek is discovered nearly dead, she must confront her greatest challenge yet. As her investigation leads her to the Midnight Games - an invitation-only, no-holds-barred ultimate preternatural fighting tournament - she and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, uncover a dark plot that may forever alter the face of Atlanta's shapeshifting community . . .
Book 3 in the fabulous Kate Daniels series (Magic Bites, Magic Burns) is possibly my favourite so far. It's all starting to come together and Kate has come into her own as an amazing heroine. She's got smart, sassy, mouthy, strong, funny and gorgeous ticked, so can she tick the romance box finally?
If you're only just coming to this series, then start with Magic Bites, it's quite necessary to read all the books in order, plus it only increases your enjoyment of the series to read them in order.
Derek (Kate calls him The Boy Wonder) is a young werewolf who seems to have fallen in love for the first time; the course of true love doesn't run smoothly for him and he ends up getting attacked and nearly dies at the beginning of the book. Jim the Chief of Security for the pack goes AWOL and Curran is getting antsy... Kate is trying to keep all of them safe in her own kind of way (violence, smart-mouthing and humour) and her investigations lead her to the Midnight Games (think 'the hunger games on steroids). Pack law means that shapeshifters aren't allowed to compete in the Midnight Games so a select few have to go behind Curran's back to start a team and enter so that they can save Derek's love, and avenge him at the same time. Obviously Curran finds out... eek!
This book is soooo good, it's longer than the others so far, and the story is strong and beautifully written. Kate is getting deeper and deeper involved with her friends and she's starting to realise that her relationships with them are a little bit more important than locking herself and her heart away from everyone in the belief that this will keep them safe from the demons in her past.
We learn even more about her past in this book, and the reasons she is motivated to behave the way she has. We also get to meet the Bouda's in more detail, who can resist them! They are possibly my favourite of the shape shifter clans, and Rafael is awesome. We also get to spend a bit more time with the characters we've grown to love whilst they are together at the Midnight Games, and we finally (FINALLY!) get to see Kate's feelings for Curran. There are some wonderful scenes between them in this book. I think their constant bickering is fabulous, it's funny and it's touching. I must have read some of their scenes 10 times before I let myself move on to the rest of the book.
I think if a book can make you smile, whilst transporting you to another world and making you ignore all other duties while you're reading it then it's a fine book indeed.
This is urban fantasy at it's very best. Read it, and then read it again. Fans of Patricia Briggs, Jeaniene Frost, Seanan Mcguire should love this book and series. It's in my top 3 and I read ALOT of urban fantasy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kate the Great and the Midnight Games!,
Persephone (England) - See all my reviews
Kate Daniels is a down on her luck mercenary who also works for the Order of Merciful Aids Atlanta Chapter. Kate isn't a fully fledged knight of the Order, but she works for them nonetheless and also "enjoys" Friend of The Pack status with the local shapeshifters. The Beast Lord who rules over The Pack in particular has taken an interest in her. In Kate's world magic is well and truly out -- leaving the inhabitance to battle its effects as it constantly wipes out technology in unexpected waves.
Magic Strikes sees Kate scraping by two months after the events of Magic Burns and she's a busy girl. She's approached by Saiman to escort him to the Midnight Games on security detail and to observe some probable non human fighters -- the Midnight Games being a kind of illegal paranormal gladiator competition to the death. Kate is asked by Derek AKA boy wonder to deliver a message for him to someone at the Games. But he won't tell her what it's about. Suspicious? Yes. There's also a murder that The Pack is investigating, but the Beast Lord doesn't know about it... On top of that despite declaring his intentions, Curran hasn't contacted Kate for months and she's feeling a little confused (and relieved).
Kate is reluctant to give into her hormones with regards to Curran because she thinks if she sleeps with him, he'll get what he wants, lose interest, and walk away untroubled leaving her heart broken. Their relationship is still beautifully written and nuanced. There's some fantastic interaction between the two of them in Magic Strikes; I loved that Curran offered to make Kate coffee and ask her about her day -- something she told him she didn't have someone to do for her in the last book. Kate finds herself embroiled in a right old mess. I loved every single minute of it. The writing was fast paced as usual, and I think the plotting benefited from the slightly higher page count. We learn a lot about almost every character -- Saiman, Jim, and we're treated to some particularly amusing personal stories from Raphael who explains to Kate how his father wooed his mother (hilarious!) There's also vital information and insights into Kate's mysterious lineage and past. Curran's past was touched upon as well; I really enjoyed learning more about all of the characters because it was not only interesting, but it felt earned.
I love Andrea so much. I have no idea what it is about her, but I just adore her. She has this wonderful caring sweetness to her. The fact that she wouldn't let Kate forget her and became BFFs was cute. Raphael has also won my heart with his crush on Andrea and doing funny things like teasing Curran and Kate about one other. It makes me happy that there's going to be a short story about Andrea and Raphael in Must Love Hellhounds.
Jim was surprisingly interesting; I was intrigued by his back story and find him quite funny in places -- especially his reaction to the first fight. Derek broke my heart. It's nice to care about the characters and I was very happy to see Julie back. Kate was fabulous in this book. She was strong and brave and put the people she cared about before herself. Kate really has changed and grown over the course of the books and is a better person for it. The revealed back story also served as insight into her character; why she is the way she is.
Overall the book was as excellent, if not better than the prior offerings. I thought the story was emotional, romantic, hilarious, and there was a lot of rewarding pay off for some arcs. The ending being particularly genius. May is too far away for Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, Book 4).

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant yet again!,
finalguy (Newport (Wales)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magic Strikes (Kate Daniels, Book 3) (Paperback)
I think after finishing number three in the Kate Daniels series, I have officially turned into a little bit of an Ilona Andrews fanboy. This really is a series that just gets better and better with each entry, and I am really looking forward to the next one.
The setting for this one featured a gladiator style event called 'The Midnight Games', which allowed for some good fight scenes, an introduction to the worlds more unusual beasties, and more information on Kate's ancestry and Roland. This book (like the one before it) continues to be a lot more fantasy than most urban fantasies out there, with it's flying castles and ancient hindu orders. I would normally dislike that as fantasy really isn't my genre, but it works here very well.
If there's any gripe I have with the series as a whole, it's that the action scenes tend to be a bit on the short side, leaving little suspense as to whether Kate is going to win. There's no tension, like in the earlier Anita Blake's for instance. Even in 'The Midnight Games' where the fights are supposed to be epic and a spectacle, Kate more often than not, one hit kills everything. They aren't unenjoyable by any means, but I would prefer a little more detail and suspense in them.
Overall, another great entry in one of my favourite urban fantasy series.

David Dallas - Pay Off
Artist: David Dallas
Producer: 41
Album: Falling Into Place
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 9 votes )
If you want your hustle to Pay Off, there's no room for half-measures—you've got to pursue success with every fiber of being. David Dallas isn't afraid to take that leap of faith, as evidenced by the latest single (and Tom Gould-directed video) off his forthcoming full-length. Here, 41's serves up a synth-driven, determination-drenched beat as the Auckland, New Zealand-bred emcee pledges to give the game his all. Feeling it? Stay tuned; Falling Into Place has yet to receive a solid drop date, but fans can stay tuned for the latest details.
