I loved every aspect of it. It was a beautiful stay!
If it was for sale I would buy it on the spot!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the warmest of greetings, helpful hints, the welcome basket which impressed us all, but not as much as the wonderful olive oil! We have been converted to olive oil for life.
Villa Levanda is a gorgeous house with nice gardens and pool and really think we will be back one day.
We stayed 10 days at Villa Levanda last August. This villa is lovely! When entering the high wooden roof in the light tones of grey gives such a pleasant and relaxing feeling. Flowing between the big open living space and the pool and terraces under the sounds of cicadas has been so relaxing.Traveling with a family of five we had absolute privacy in our master bedroom that was covering one floor. Walking distance from the fabulous Aposperitis taverna and the village market.
The caretakers have been very polite and very friendly and gave great recommendations. Thank you for this wonderfull summer.
Superb serviced luxury villas in Crete. Bleverde is known for its tranquillity and privacy. It combines remoteness from vacation flows with closeness to Gavalochori village, one of Crete's well kept secrets. Bleverde Estate spreads over a plot of 8,000m2 and is surrounded by olive groves and overlooking the picturesque village of Gavalochori. Inspired by its mesmerizing surroundings, Bleverde estate is an artistic addition to Gavalohori sun bathed valley. Once in Gavalochori, the Folkor museum of Gavalochori is a site seeing worth your visit.
Villa Elia and Villa Levanda are Bleverde's luxurious accommodations with private pools and breathtaking views of the olive groves and distant Mediterranean sea.
Bleverde is far enough to ensure privacy and tranquillity but close enough to be part of the traditional and welcoming Gavalochori village life. The tavernas in the village are in short walking distance, and the lovely beaches of Almyrida are only 4 kms down the road.

ROCCAT may not sound like a familiar name to you, but in time, that could change. The company has been in the European market for a number of years, and has just broken into the US scene earlier this year. To get a good idea of what the company has to offer, we're taking a look at its Kone[+] gaming mouse and Isku gaming keyboard.
While writing this review and during some heavy Battlefield 3 action, the pair performed great, even if I didn't. The Kone+ tracked extremely well and sat very comfortable in my large hand. This mouse is on the larger end of the scale so those with smaller hands may find it a bit awkward.
The biggest issue that I had was with the placement of the button in front of the scroll wheel. It felt too far forward and required me to reposition my hand to reach it, which resulted in the buttons on the left side now being out of reach. Maybe my grip style is unorthodox and others will have more luck, but I ended up not assigning the forward center button any function.
I was using a Cooler Master mouse up until now and found that it performs on par with the Kone+, but the ROCCAT offering moves across the mouse pad smoother even though it feels heavier in my hand without any weights installed. This extra weight makes the Kone+ a very sturdy mouse that should be able to stand up to some heavy abuse.
The Isku however is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand you have on-the-fly macro recording, a ton of possibilities for assigning different functions to keys and the ability to store profiles. All very cool features and from a feature standpoint I found no problems since they all worked beautifully. Even the EasyShift+ key worked flawlessly to change the functions of my mouse buttons while knee deep in bullet casings.
I also found no problems from a performance standpoint. Subjecting the keyboard to typical and non-typical keystroke combinations resulted in the correct input with no blocked commands.
What I do have a problem with is the cheap feeling wrist rest. As soon as you begin typing you can tell how flimsy it is and a gentle press causes the plastic to flex. There's very little chance of the Isku wrist rest breaking without some serious force but the feel certainly doesn't fall in line with the rest of the keyboard and could turn some people off.
The other, and in my opinion larger problem is with the illumination, which is done with electroluminescent disks. Many of the keys do not light up completely unless viewed from directly above, which is far from ideal. If the keys were lit by individual LEDs this wouldn't be an issue but the price tag would likely be higher.
Speaking of price, this pair will set you back a fair bit. The Kone+ is currently retailing for about $80 US while the Isku will set you back another $90. While I feel that this is a bit too high there's no denying that I love the fact that I can switch between primary and secondary functions on the fly thanks to EasyShift+ on both the keyboard and the mouse thanks to ROCCAT Talk. This in itself offsets the cost for me.
Even with the above average price tag and shortcomings on the Isku, none of which came at the expense of performance, these are two feature-rich products with well designed software. I can't wait to see where ROCCAT goes with its Talk functionality since it could could open the door to a whole slew of new possibilities.
A quick tip of the hat to the folks at ROCCAT who not only sent along the the Kone+ and Isku, but also the Kave 5.1 surround sound sound gaming headset. This great looking and comfortable little surprise doesn't affect the outcome of the review, but I will say that I've had the chance to check out other surround sound headsets and this one performs with the best of them so it's worth a look if you're in the market.
Sept 11, 2012 Addendum: A few months after having used the Kone+, it's begun to display problems that have rendered it broken. You can read more about it in our thread below.

About the Carmen Mini Hotel neighborhood
Erzsébetváros was Budapest's Jewish neighborhood before and during World War II. Its Great Synagogue, built in Byzantine-Moorish style, now stands in gorgeous contrast to the functional Communist-era structures lining the area's narrow streets. At night, this business-by-day 'hood redefines itself as a nightlife hub.

quiet, great swimming and good hiking trails close by. Better with a car due to hazards on the road.
access to the beach is ok, path and roads well maintained, pure nature, swimming snorkeling and view superb, rock beach no sand, totally relaxed
A very narrow side street in the tiny village became even more narrow with a build up of cars in the bushlands and cliffs over this beautiful drop into the sea. Good luck if you want to get down there! Stunning but impossible!
If you like solitary beaches, then this is a must visit place. To access the beach you will have to do small trek down, but it is worth it.
This is a lovely beach and a great place to spend a few hours. It's usually more or less deserted. It is a pebble beach though which makes it harder to walk on. I don't think it's the nicest of the beaches on Northern spain, but it was rainy when I went.
Rugged and beautiful coastline. Difficult to find and a bit of a hair raising drive. Park on the top of the cliff along a narrow road (don't worry, you won't need to turn the car, there is an exit road). Walk down to the beach, including the last bit which involves some steep steps. Stoney beach with beautiful views. Watch...
Challenging to find as its off the beaten track, but beautiful. You park high on the cliffs and walk down the path to the beach. The last steep section is steps, but with a handrail. The views from the top are spectacular. The beach itself has no amenities, and is a mostly pebbly beach, but the seclusion makes up for...
We enjoyed this coast which is rocky with cliffs but has small, secluded sandy beaches too and is natural and unspoilt.
This shingle beach is about 15 mins walk from the village and is not accessible by car. There are some breathtaking views around and lovely walk to reach this beach. Access is via man-made staircase which is narrow and very steep, so not recommended for people with walking difficulty. Lovely place to chill out and listen to the waves breaking...
We visited Playa del Silencio in November and had the beach all to ourselves. We were able to park just at the top of the stairs so that it was only a 5 minute walk down to the beach and the views were simply stunning. Bit too chilly for swimming, the water was murky and the waves were about a...

Strategies for breaking bad news to patients with cancer: as seen in the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing.
SPIKES (see Figure 1) is an acronym for a six-step protocol that outlines important considerations when breaking bad news (Buckman, 2005). Its use can help ease distress for both the patients receiving the news and the healthcare providers who are sharing the news. Setting: Choose a quiet, private setting in which to share bad news. Turn off all phones and pagers (or put them on vibrate) and give patients your undivided attention. Include family members if patients wish. Try to deliver the news while seated, without a barrier (e.g., a desk) between you and patients. Although you may feel anxious sharing the information, try not to let it show in your body language. Show respect for patients by listening to their concerns in a calm and attentive manner.
Figure 1. SPIKES Method
S = setting
P = perception
I = invitation or information
K = knowledge
E = empathy
S = summarize or strategize
Perception: Determine patients' understanding of their medical situation before you deliver any news. Patients may not have a handle on the seriousness of the situation or may be in denial. If so, this may need to be addressed gently over several discussions before breaking the bad news.
Invitation or Information: Ask patients or family members directly what information would be helpful to them. Determine their preferred learning styles and use these during discussions. Some patients may want to know all of the details about their situation whereas others may only want to know where they will go from here.
Knowledge: Give patients a few seconds' warning that bad news is coming by prefacing the news with statements such as "Unfortunately, I have some bad news to share" or "I'm sorry, I have some serious news to tell you." Use clear, lay language rather than technical terms or jargon that may be difficult to understand in times of distress. Make sure patients and family members have time to absorb the information and respond with questions.
Empathy: Acknowledge patients' emotions and reactions and respond to them in an appropriate manner. Use statements such as "I wish the news were better" or "This is obviously distressing news" to show empathy. More information on conveying empathy through the NURSE method will be presented in the next section.
Summarize or Strategize: Ensure that patients understand the information you just presented by summarizing what you told them and giving them the opportunity to ask questions. Present a strategic plan for the next steps the healthcare team or the patient will take. Assess patients' understanding by asking questions such as "Does this make sense to you?" "Are you clear about the next steps?" or "Do you have enough information to make a decision?"
Patients may respond to bad news with a variety of emotions, and often they are looking for an "accepting response" from the healthcare provider rather than an immediate reassurance, rebuttal, or agreement. NURSE (see Figure 2) is a five-step method that may help you provide an empathetic response to patients' emotions (Back, Arnold, Baile, Tuksky, & Fryer-Edwards, 2005).
Figure 2. NURSE Response
N = naming
U = understanding
R = respecting
S = supporting
E = exploring
Naming: Naming an emotion shows empathy for a patient's distress; however, it is better to suggest a name for the emotion rather than declaring it. Saying, "I wonder if you're feeling angry?" is preferred to "You must be angry."
Understanding: Ensure that you have a clear understanding of a patient's fears and concerns before offering a response. Repeat your thoughts to the patient: "My understanding of what you're saying is ..." Although it seems contradictory, even statements such as "I cannot imagine what it is like" show that you understand.
Respect: Empathy and respect go hand in hand. Give patients permission to express their feelings, acknowledge those feelings, and show respect for their expression of emotion. This can be done nonverbally through body language and touch or verbally by matching the intensity of your statements to the intensity of patients' emotion.
Supporting: Share resources with patients and support their ability to cope. Recommendations for support groups can help prevent patients from feeling abandoned and reinforce their coping skills.
Exploring: Asking patients direct questions or clarifying on patients' prior comments can reinforce the healthcare provider's empathy. It also gives patients permission and opportunity to share additional emotions and feelings that they may have hesitated to reveal earlier.
For more information on delivering bad news and responding to patients' emotions, refer to the complete article by Kaplan (2010).

Sermons from the MoundPaganism for Beginners: Wicca
Wicca is both a religion and a magical practice. Wiccans interact with the world on many levels – physical, spiritual, magical and emotional. Witchcraft is the craft of magic.Wicca and Witchcraft overlap – all Wiccans are also witches, but not all witches are Wiccans. But the practice of witchcraft (in the sense of doing spells and so on) is only part of the practice of Wicca.

In those discussions and debates -- and sometimes heated arguments! -- I'm come to the conclusion that the Fire Circle at a large Pagan gathering should welcome and invite as many types of magic as possible.

This seventh book in Roxanne St. Claire's sexy Bullet Catchers series features Dan Gallagher, a former FBI agent turned bodyguard who takes a sabbatical to track down his long-lost love—only to discover the son he never knew he had.
Fourteen years ago, former FBI agent Dan Gallagher put drug lord Ramón Jimenez behind bars—after he fell for Ramón's girlfriend, Maggie. So, when Dan learns that Ramón has been released from prison, he worries that Ramón will hunt Maggie down, seeking revenge. Taking a sabbatical from work, Dan quickly tracks her down and finds more than he bargained for: Maggie has a teenage son, Quinn, who's the spitting image of Dan. Then Quinn is kidnapped, and Dan and Maggie must work together to find their son before it's too late.
"Hot, fun, fast, and fearless! I want one of these bodyguards!" — New York Times bestselling author Cherry Adair
Chapter One
Fourteen Years Later
All he wanted to do was make a clean getaway.
But Dan Gallagher knew the minute he stepped out of the Bullet Catchers' headquarters that this exit would be anything but clean.
Leaning against his Maserati was the one person who wouldn't let him get away with anything.
"Slinking out so soon?" Max asked, crossing his arms over his massive chest, his hair still sweaty from the company touch football game.
"Slinking is generally done through the back door, Roper. I'm going out the way I came in."
Max narrowed dark eyes at Dan. "Out for good?"
"Out for now."
"You're crushed."
Dan laughed. "No, but if you don't get out of my way, you will be." He pulled his keys out. "I got a plane to catch."
"Not taking a Bullet Catcher jet?" Of course he didn't move.
"Nope. It's personal business."
Max just cocked his head, never wasting a word. They hadn't had "personal business" they didn't share in twenty years.
"Come on," Dan said. "I'm seriously late getting to the airport."
"Did she tell you everything?" Max asked.
Dan glanced up to the second-story window overlooking the drive, to Lucy Sharpe's private library and office. She'd probably gone to the back patio to celebrate with the others. These were happy days for her company. For her.
"She didn't have to tell me anything. It's all over her glowing face. And I'm delighted for her."
Max choked. "Delighted?"
"What?" Dan countered. "You don't believe I'm not happy that a woman I've worked for and been friends with for years has found..." Freedom from whatever misery had kept her in an emotional prison for a long time? He'd never had the key to that jail cell, but Jack Culver had proven himself more than capable. "Has found bliss," he finished.
"Delighted and bliss in the same speech?"
"Shut up. She's happy, and I'm..." Free to move on. "Happy for her. We're all just one big, happy Bullet Catcher family. And a growing one, at that." At Max's look, he just shook his head. "I swear to God, I'm not lying."
"You're rationalizing. Which is another word for lying, only to yourself. And while your ability to bend the truth has served you well in countless undercover situations, this is real life."
Dan scowled at him. "Did aliens come and take Mad Max Roper? Or has marriage and fatherhood turned you into Dr. Phil? And since when isn't a UC situation real life?"
"I'm worried about you."
"Fear not, my man. I've never been better. I'm free."
"Yeah. Free. Lucy, in case you haven't surmised from her radiance, has made the ultimate commitment with Culver. Do I agree with her choice of partners?" He shrugged. "Not my problem. Do I wish it was me up there perusing a baby name book? Hell, no. I know you think you've cracked the code with Cori and little Peyton, and maybe you have. But I don't want that key. I like the status quo."
Unrelenting brown eyes narrowed. "More rationalizing."
"Call it whatever you want." He gave Max's meaty shoulder a smack with the file in his hand. "Now go eat some charred meat like a good Rottweiler. You're missing the party and all the gossip about the reasons behind my leave of absence."
"A leave of absence, with a Bullet Catcher dossier still warm from the Research and Investigative Department printer?"
The son of a bitch didn't miss a trick. "Just grabbed a file on an old friend I might look up in the Keys."
"You're going to Florida? Cori and I are going down to Miami tomorrow, to her place on Star Island. Why don't you stay with us for a few days?"
"And get psychoanalyzed by the two of you? No thanks. Anyway, I'll be a couple of hours south, in Marathon."
"Doing what?" Max pressed.
"You don't own a tackle box. What's going on down there?"
"Nothing." He hoped. "I'm taking some time to myself. See an old friend. Learn the difference between a trout and a...nother kind of fish."
"Who's the old friend?"
It was a waste of time to try and sidestep him. "A young lady I knew from my Miami days."
Max's wheels visibly turned. "Not the girl from the Venezuelan money laundering ring?"
Dan sighed. "Do you have to have a memory like a steel trap?"
"How could I forget? For one thing, the takedown of Alonso Jimenez and company was a major operation that involved the DEA and the FBI. And, not exactly a lady, as I recall, though she was young then."
He bristled at the comment. "She's fourteen years older now."
"So instead of licking new wounds, you're going to open old ones?" Max asked.
"The only thing I'm planning to lick is salt with my tequila."
"You sure that's smart, when you're on the rebound and all?"
Dan leaned right in his friend's face. "Let's get this straight, Roper. I'm not on the rebound and I don't need you to judge what's smart and what's not." He pulled back. "But since you're so damn nosy, I still have access to some of the FBI sites and I noticed that Ramon Jimenez got out of prison recently."
"El Viejo's son?"
"Yeah." Everyone who knew the case knew Alonso Jimenez was universally referred to as "El Viejo" — the old man. "I just want to make sure she's okay."
"You think he'll go after her?"
Dan shrugged. "She was never implicated or arrested, and, per my request, she was left out of the trial since her testimony was superfluous, considering all the evidence we had. As far as she or any of them know, Michael Scott — my cover name — was accidentally killed that night in friendly fire. That's the way the agency wanted to play it. But Ramon has had a long time to put together the truth, and he might have figured out the leak was his girlfriend. He's a rat bastard, and I don't trust him."
"So what's your plan? Spring your real identity on her?"
"God, no. And she'll never recognize me, because that cover was thorough and the guy she knew had brown eyes, dark hair, and a prosthetic nose. I just want to check out where she lives and works, make sure she's safe. She goes by Smith now, so she's probably married with kids."
"Could be an alias and she's living in fear that they'll find her."
The same thought had occurred to him. "If that's the case, then I'll introduce myself as a former FBI agent who thinks she should be aware that Ramon Jimenez is out of prison. Then I'll leave, and she'll be safer. This is strictly a standard security check after a prison release. After I'm done, I'll be back." Probably. He gave Max a tight smile.
"Culver is a fact of our life, now," Max said, a warning in his voice. "Can you live with that?"
"Look, I know Lucy and I flirted with possibilities. But it would have screwed up a great friendship, and I'm not interested in..." A baby. "Anything that would tie me down. She knows that, and so do I."
Finally satisfied, Max moved. "Call me when you get there."
Dan reached for the car door. "Why would I even need a wife, when I have you?"
"And the invitation stands. Cori has a week of board meetings at Peyton Enterprises, and I'm going to go apeshit and melt in the heat. Hang out with me in Miami Beach."
"You're so full of it. You love all that time with Peyton."
Max beamed at the mention of his two-year-old. "It doesn't suck."
"Who woulda thunk it? Max Roper morphs into Father of the Year."
"Don't knock what you haven't tried."
Dan circled his throat and mock-choked, then took one more glance at the library window. He'd never have gone there with Lucy, so she really was better off now. He climbed into the car and shut the door.
Snapping on the CD player, he cranked up the volume, then took off down the driveway with the familiar relief that once again he'd successfully dodged a bullet.
"Oh, please, not again." Maggie clunked the empty tray on the service bar and put her hands over her ears but it did nothing to drown out the music echoing through Smitty's. "I swear, I'm going to go down to Margaritaville myself and shoot Jimmy Buffett for recording it."
"That'll just make 'em want to hear it more." From his favorite bar stool, Gumbo Joe threw her a wide, yellow-toothed smile. "Anyhoo, you're the one who put a jukebox in this joint, Lena. Smitty'd roll over in his grave if he saw how you turned his nice little watering hole into a tourist trap full of northerners who want to get wasted away again."
"Smitty, God rest his soul, ought to roll over in his grave, for the debt he left me in." She flipped the service door up and slipped behind the bar, dumping the empties into the recycle bin. "And I see the transformation from bait bar to tourist trap hasn't stopped you from swilling one dollar AmberBocks every Friday night, Gumbo."
"Well, a man's gotta drink after a hard day of trawlin'." He took a swig to underscore the statement while Maggie headed to the cash register to ring up the pitcher of draft she'd just served.
She hip-nudged Brandy out of the way, but not hard enough to make the superskilled bartender splash a drop of the tequila she was pouring. "Don't forget the lost shaker of salt."
Brandy gave her a wry smile and lifted the tequila bottle. "Every time that tune comes on we sell more of this shit, and the markup is pure profit, partner. That song is what you would call a good sign."
"Ka-ching!" Maggie exclaimed as the drawer popped open.
Brandy turned, expertly threading her fingers around six shot glasses. "Oh, and speaking of good signs. Look who just came in. Your boyfriend's back."
Maggie froze, a little thrill tickling her tummy. "Don't care."
"You lie, Lena Smith."
"I never lie, Brandy Istre, and you know that. But I'm not looking, because I don't care."
"You should look, because, whoa, he is even hotter than the last two nights he's been in here, checking you out like you were his favorite library book."
Maggie rolled her eyes, closing the cash register with a quiet click. "Whatev, as Quinn would say."
"In case you change your mind, he's sitting down at the two-top by the window," Brandy continued. "He's looking at the table tent as if he's actually considering a dollar beer, but we know he's an import kind of guy. Look at those clothes, all Ralph Lauren expensive. I bet he came down in his yacht. Yep, he's looking out at the marina, running his hand through that dirty-blond hair, and over his jaw." Brandy dipped a little closer to whisper the rest of her play-by-play. "I don't think he shaved today. He wants your poor li'l thighs to get all rosy with a rash."
Maggie laughed, hiding her weak knees and high hopes.
The last two nights he'd been there, he'd just ordered a Heineken, nursed it, and then left. But the entire time, he'd watched her. No, he pinned her with eyes the same green as the bottle she served him, making her tense and prickly and...aware.
She turned from the cash register, and looked right at him. Another lightning bolt rocked her, this time right between those poor li'l thighs.
Holy mother of all that mattered, the man was edible.
Neither one looked away, and Maggie could have sworn those perfect lips tipped in a smile. She managed to breathe — no mean feat.
"Shots are up, Mrs. Smith!"
His eyes flickered when Brandy called out the order.
Maggie instantly transferred her attention to the service bar, where Brandy stood with a hand on her narrow hip and a smug smile on her elfin features.
"Why'd you have to call me that?" Maggie scowled as she ducked under the bar to get to the other side.
"Thought you didn't care."
"Well, there's no reason to make him think I'm still married."
"Sure there is — now you have to talk to him. Get your butt over there and tell him you're a widow."
Maggie shot her a vile look and scooped the tray full of shots in one hand. "Look, if I want to get a good look at his ass as he runs screaming out the door, I don't need to mention my dearly departed husband. The teenager at home usually does the trick."
"The teenager is at his uncle's fishing for two days...and two nights." Brandy leaned her whole body over the service bar to make her point. "And the merry widow hasn't had sex in four years."
"Four years?" Gumbo Jim slammed down his bottle and let his jaw drop. "Lena, that's a damn sin. Smitty would've wanted you to get laid once in a while. You're a beautiful woman, for God's sake."
Next to Jim, Tommy Sloane inched over and pointed at her. "You know, a hymen can grow back. I read that in Penthouse."
"A brain can grow back, too, Tommy, so there's hope for you yet." She nodded to a tall, dark-haired man who walked up to the bar and took the stool at the opposite end. "Brandy, you have a new customer. You're going to want this one."
Brandy glanced over her shoulder, then let out a low whistle. "Holy hell, the place is swimming in high-quality testosterone tonight."
Maggie balanced the tray. "Go get 'em, tiger. Our song's still playing." She headed toward the group from Philadelphia, who were already a little loud and loose. As she leaned to set down the drinks, she couldn't resist lifting her gaze to the two-top at the window.
He was staring. Hard. Right down the scoop neck of her top.
Oh, had she forgotten to wear a bra? They were small but mighty, as someone had once told her, and every once in a while the girls went free. She smiled at the customers she served, but the twinkle in her eye was for his benefit.
She'd also purposely worn the tight hip-hugging jeans and a little extra makeup. It was true; she didn't care if he came back for a third night — but she hoped like hell he would. Especially tonight...the one time she didn't have a thirteen-year-old and his dog waiting at home.
Tonight, Magdalena Varcek Smith was going to have some fun.
Straightening, she nodded to him. "I'll be right there," she mouthed, taking the empty glasses from the table and wending around some chairs to make her way over.
He made no effort to hide his long, slow appraisal of her, the hungry gaze leaving a trail of heat and a thousand chills over every well-admired inch of her. By the time he got back up to her face, she'd reached the table and slid into the chair across from him.
"You want a Heineken?"
"Among other things." He added an imperfect, slanted, utterly decadent smile that took him from jaw-dropper to heart-wrecker in a pulse beat.
"Name 'em," she shot back.
He dropped his elbows on the table and folded his arms, a move that emphasized the power and size of his shoulders, and leaned closer. She got a whiff of peppermint and spice, a dose of raw sex appeal, and a chance to see that no, he hadn't shaved.
"Mrs. Smith. Are you married?"
His question was direct, simple, and delivered with a baritone that made her wonder if his chest rumbled when he spoke.
"Not anymore." She met him halfway across the table. "Are you?"
"Not even close."
"Well, now that we got that little detail out of the way, how about we finally introduce ourselves?" She held out her hand, bracing for the electricity she just knew was going to zing up her arm. "I'm — "
"I know who you are." He didn't shake her hand. Instead, his long, strong fingers plucked at one of the silver bangles on her wrist. "You make noise when you walk, you know that?"
She just stared at him, unable to look away.
"I've been hearing you jingle in my sleep."
Oh boy. He was good. "What's it sound like?"
She laughed. "I'm no trouble at all. Everyone calls me Lena, and I'm the owner of this fine establishment and jingler of your dreams. What's your name?"
"Just Dan?"
"For now, just Dan."
"How about for later?"
"That assumes there is a later. I don't want to be presumptuous."
She crossed her arms and matched his position, as into the game as he was. "Go ahead and presume. We've been dancing around each other for three nights. How long are you in town?"
"How do you know I don't live here?"
"Because I know everybody who lives in Marathon, which means you're a tourist."
"Are you going to close up again tonight?"
Another zing went through her, this time more of a mental alarm than a sexual buzz. "Maybe."
Since she'd just said she was the owner, it made sense she'd close the bar. But these days, she couldn't be too careful. Not after she'd read the prison release list on that website. Ever since, she'd carried Smitty's pistol in her handbag, made a habit of looking over her shoulder, and had one of the regulars walk her to her car.
And sent Quinn for long weekends at his Uncle Eddie's, so he wasn't home alone when she worked late nights.
"Can I meet you tonight?" he asked. "So we could talk when you're not working."
Talk. Right. "It could be late."
"I don't mind."
"We make last call around one."
He nodded and stood, looming over her, easily surpassing six feet. "I'll be back at twelve thirty."
She pushed herself up, pulled by that gaze and something else. A sensation that numbed her fingertips and toes.
Familiarity. That was it. There was something weirdly familiar about him.
"Have you been in here before?" she asked. "I can't shake the feeling that we've met."
He just gave her that wicked half smile again, revealing the slightest overlap of his front teeth, the imperfection wildly attractive on an otherwise perfect face. "Maybe in another life." He reached out and slipped his fingers right under her hair, flicking the three silver hoops so they clinked against each other. "See you later...Lena."
She didn't move a muscle as he walked away, didn't take a breath or blink an eye.
Lena. He said it as if the name amused him, as if he knew she didn't even think of herself as the name she'd adopted the day she showed up at this bar.
But he couldn't know. No one knew. Except Smitty, who'd given her a new, safe, sane life, along with a completely different name.
" 'Scuze me, miss? Can we get another round?"
She just held up a hand, making her grandmother's silver bangles ding against each other. A tendril of déjà vu curled up her spine and raised the hairs on the back of her neck.
From another life? If so, it must have been a good one. Copyright © 2009 by Roxanne St. Claire

Great book! This was my first time reading this author and I loved this book. I will definitely be seeking out other books by her. This is one of the Bullet Catcher series, although I don't know where it falls in the series. You do not have to read the other books to be able to enjoy this one. I gathered that some of the secondary characters were/are likely featured in other books in this series.
The characters, their history, their shortcomings - all so well written. Believable reactions to the events that happen. I liked both the story and the writing.

Roxanne St. Claire delivers another top notch thrill in Hunt Her Down.
Top Bullet Catcher Dan Gallagher takes a leave from his job to protect the one woman he has never forgotten. Fourteen years ago Dan was under cover and fell for the girlfriend of a high placed drug lord. One fateful night Maggie Varcek ran for her life and thought Dan (then known as Michael Scott) was dead. Now that drug lord is out of prison and Dan will go undercover to save Maggie.
Maggie Varcek now Smith has made comfortable life for her and her son in Florida. She is the owner of her late husbands bar called Smitty's. That along with caring for her son fills her days. She is intrigued by the stranger at the bar and decides to have a fling. But before that can start her and her son are in grave danger.
Maggie is further shocked when Dan turns out to be her long dead lover Michael Scott. Maggie doesn't want his help but soon realizes he can keep her and her son Quinn safe.
Dan and Maggie's passion comes back hotter then ever and makes them both rethink their life's. Before they can make any plans they must save themselves and Quinn.
Hunt Her Down is one hot and sexy read. Dan's story was well worth the wait. Maggie is a strong woman who is perfect match for Dan's strength. The suspense is high caliber and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Watching these strong men fall is love is a real treat. Looking forward to the next book in this wonderful series.

This is the latest in the Bullet Catcher series. I enjoyed every single one. I love the constant twist and turn so if think they are predictable think again. And the romance is great. This is my all time favorite I am telling you if I could give it ten stars I would. It was so captivating from the first chapter. I love lost loves plot. And none of the constant tedious bickering I dont want you, yes I do, over and over it had just the right amount of push and pull with a plot that you think you know but you dont.

Roxanne St. Clair hits another Bullet Catcher story home run. Because it's a stand-alone, you can read this without having read the other books, but if you're a fan, you definitely don't want to miss Dan's story. Dan's one of those guys that you just ache to either slap or kiss senseless, which works out really well in the long run for heroine Maggie. I was a little worried about Dan (after the last book), but clearly I shouldn't have been. There are some truly tense moments in this book, and the chemistry between Dan and Maggie is phenomenal. I read this in one rainy Florida afternoon...which seemed just about right.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

I Also Recommend:
Bullet Catcher Dan Gallagher has a past. Years before, he'd worked undercover for the FBI, infiltrated a family drug business and wooed information out of the drug lord's son's girlfriend. But when the FBI swooped in to raid the operation based on Dan's information, he told his lover to run away and not look back lest she be caught up in the raid. She did look back, however, and saw her lover's dead body carried out. Now fourteen years later, some of the drug dealers are out of jail and Dan is concerned his former lover might be a target. He decides to hunt her down and warn her. When a blond stranger walked into her Florida Keys bar, Maggie Smith didn't recognize him, but she sure felt sparks when he was near. But Dan soon reveals himself to her, and as shocked as Maggie is to find her supposedly dead lover is still alive, Dan is equally shocked when he learns that Maggie has a secret too. HUNT HER DOWN by Roxanne St. Claire has guns, drug money, chases and romance as hot and steamy as a Florida summer. Some faithful readers of the Bullet Catcher series have been upset because Dan didn't end up with Lucy Sharpe, head of the Bullet Catcher agency. However, I beg you to give the book a chance. I double-dog dare you to give it a chance and see if you don't agree that St. Claire not only paired Dan with the perfect woman but put them into a fast-paced adventure that will keep you riveted to the page.Was this review helpful?

Slightly different from the other Bullet Catchers books, this story has Dan off on a more personal adventure but one no less thrilling than any of the others. It's hard to comment too much without giving anything away but suffice it to say that St. Claire allows Dan his story without making any of his past experiences seem trite or inconsequential. Great story!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
I'm a huge fan of the Bullet Catcher series, having read each book in it twice, and I can honestly say this was my number one favorite so far. We finally get Dan Gallagher's story, after all this time of wondering if he would find true love with his boss, Lucy Sharpe. He didn't, and after I read this book, I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.
In this story, Dan goes off to find Maggie, a woman he once knew when he was working as an undercover FBI agent because the drug lord she helped put away is out of jail. He just wants to be sure she's okay, certain she'll never recognize him because he'd had a very thorough cover fourteen years earlier when they were intimate - plus, she thinks that guy "Michael Scott" is dead. But nothing in Maggie's life is what he expects it to be, and some of the most fun in the whole book is when Dan discovers Maggie is the one with the real life-changing secret.
Before long, they have to face the truth (and I really liked that St. Claire didn't drag it out to the end - in fact I loved the way Maggie found out) and some really bad guys are after them for something Maggie has unwittingly kept over the years. They have to figure out a very complex puzzles to find a missing fortune and save their lives. Their attraction is fantastic, some of THE best sexual tension I have ever read. Dan is funny and tough and sexy and Maggie is one of the strongest, smartest heroines without taking over everything. Their past is ugly and dark, and they've both changed so much since they knew each other, but their final declaration of love is completely believable.
I give this one the highest recommendation - I'm already reading it again while I wait for the next one that comes out in a month. (That Bullet Catcher, Con, is introduced in this book and looks like he'll be just as much fun.)

Fourteen years ago, undercover FBI Dan Gallagher was the key player in destroying the drug smuggling operation of El Viejo. He knows his success in sending father and son to prison was due to his informant Maggie Varcek, girlfriend of El Viejo's son Ramon. To protect Dan, the Feds insured he "died", but did nothing for Maggie, left alone, frightened and pregnant.
El Viejo and Ramon are no longer in prison. They want their loot and vengeance on the woman who betrayed them. Now a Bullet Catcher assistant chief, Dan heads to Marathon, Florida to warn and keep Maggie safe. Upon seeing him alive, she feels a zillion emotions, but knows what she felt then was real as she still loves him; however she has one secret he is unaware of; her teen Quinn carries his DNA.
Fans have waited a long time for Gallagher to swallow the bullet of love, but will find the wait worth the time. HUNT HER DOWN is a fabulous tale as Dan must return to the woman he loves but "deserted". Though he wanted to know what happened to her, he knew not to intrude because he could not stay away from his beloved as he proves when he returns from the dead. The hunt for the loot augments a super Bullet Catcher romantic suspense saga.

It does slow the running horses if made properly. Has stopped a couple from going through since it looks solid. Doesn't stop them all though.

We're constantly bombarded with commercials and print ads about how important a good night's sleep is. Since our mattresses are with us for ten years or more, it's worth a little research so we can all cash in on that good night of sleep.
This top 10 list for selecting the right new mattress gives some details regarding pillow top, plush and firm mattresses. Some of the tips seem obvious, but others are helpful to remember. There's no point in rushing into anything. Happy hunting.

Coach Caloy Garcia is out to prove that he is a worthy successor to the ever popular Louie Alas when he debuts for the Letran Knights this Saturday in the opening of the NCAA at the Mall of Asia Arena.
While he admits to feeling the pressure of taking over a proud institution, Garcia declared that he and the Knights are now ready for another tough ride despite some manpower woes.
"When I got this job, I already understood that there will always be pressure. Pero that's what we're being paid for, the pressure of getting your school wins," said Garcia, who previously held coaching jobs for College of Benilde, Welcoat and Rain or Shine.
"It's a new system so we'll just have to rely with each other first," he added.
Under Alas watch, Letran missed the final four only twice since being named head coach of the team in 1998. In five final appearances with Alas, the Knights won twice.
Regardless of the big shoes that he's trying to fill in, Garcia is more concerned of the health of his team, specially his main gunners like Kevin Racal and Jojo Belorio.
Both are still trying to regain their fighting form with Racal out for the entire summer due to a foot injury. He's still waiting for the results of his medical exams if he'll be given the green light to play.
Belorio, on the other hand, aggravated his wrist injury during a summer tournament and is declared day-to-day.
"Yun ang mahirap sa amin, two of our starters didn't play (much in the summer tournaments) so di pa nila gamay yung mga bagong players, so that's going to be our problem at the start of the NCAA season," said Garcia, who is one of Yeng Guiao's assistants at Rain or Shine in the PBA.
Regardless of the injuries, Garcia remains confident they can match up well with all the teams, even with the Red Lions.
Expected to lead the team is the diminutive court general Mark Cruz, vastly improving Raymund Almazan and some new recruits led by Jamil Gabawan, McJour Luib, Fidel Castro, Ford Ruaya and Kevin Buenaflor. "The nice thing about this team is that they know what's important right now. Whoever's playing, whoever's healthy will be given the chance to play so they'll just have to be ready," Garcia said.

ANAHEIM -- It somehow seemed fitting that earthquake tremors rattled Honda Center on Thursday night about 2 1/2 hours before NHL rivals from Southern California and Northern California faced off in Anaheim. (Yes, the press box was swaying high above the ice.)
There also was an aftershock two hours later during the first-period intermission, perhaps caused by the news the San Jose Sharks were called for the first two penalties in the opening period. (Has anyone called Ripley yet?)
Of course, we all knew the first-ever playoff series between the Ducks and San Jose Sharks would produce at least a few seismic jolts, didn't we?
The biggest shocker of all, though, is that the eighth-seeded Ducks are flying back to NoCal with a 3-1 series lead after a 4-0 victory in Game 4 that pushed the top-ranked Sharks to the brink of elimination.
On the NHL Richter scale, that's a magnitude 7.0 stunner, because San Jose entered the playoffs as the Presidents' Trophy winner after leading the NHL with a whopping 117 points in the regular season, 26 more than the Ducks.
That, however, is now ancient history. So is the fact the Ducks had to go 10-2-1 down the stretch to sneak into the playoffs as the eighth and final seed.
And who remembers now that the Ducks were outshot in each of the first three games of the series while taking more than their usual quota of foolish penalties?
Sometimes, it takes a while to learn valuable lessons.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle has been preaching the importance of staying out of the penalty box for eons, but it probably didn't sink in until they lost Game 3 on a San Jose power-play goal after a hooking penalty by Corey Perry in the third period.
But that minor penalty was the only penalty whistled against the Ducks in the second and third periods, which also happened to be their best two periods of the series - until Thursday night.
Veteran Ducks winger Teemu Selanne said it also wasn't a coincidence the Ducks finally outshot the Sharks, 13-8 and 9-7, in those two periods.
"That's how you have to approach the game, to get four lines rolling," Selanne said after Thursday's morning skate. "When you don't take penalties, you can roll all the lines and get your normal game going.
"When you take a lot of penalties in a row, it kills all the momentum. Some guys get overloaded with ice time and the rest of us sit on the bench and get cold. It isn't good for anybody. ... And if we can cut down on their power plays, our chances of winning go way higher."
Guess what happened Thursday night. The Ducks finished with fewer penalties than the Sharks for the first time in the series - and won decisively.
Two penalties by the Ducks in the first period, one penalty in the second and one in the third, in the closing seconds. (More after-shocks?)

I know of some Japanese dog groomer who do reiki on their clients dogs, it seems to have an overall calming effect on man's best friend.
I loved to massage Calvary's head, usually when I do that he kinda lots out a yawn. I read in some dog training books that yawning is a sign of submissiveness to their owner.
This is one trait I notice every time Calvary does something wrong and I used a srern tone of voice he will immediately yawn in front of me. To the novice they would have thought their dog lacks sufficient sleep. For those in the know, it their dog telling them : "you are the boss!"

17.11.08 - by James Slater - In a fascinating article in The Los Angeles Daily News, celebrated trainer Freddie Roach spoke with Michael Rosenthal about the fighters he has worked with in his over twenty year career as a boxing trainer. Roach, who is currently getting Manny Pacquiao ready for his mega fight with "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya, says "Pac Man" is without a doubt the most disciplined boxer he has ever worked with..
Whereas when it comes to the most skilled fighter he's trained, Roach lists current heavyweight contender James "Lights Out" Toney. Speaking first about the Filipino dynamo, Roach praised his amazing work ethic.
"Manny's the most disciplined fighter I've ever had," Freddie said. "He trains like mad and pushes himself to the limit. He's just amazing."
One fighter who never had, or is ever likely to have, Pacquaio's love of training for a fight, is James Toney. However, Roach says, hands down, the 40-year-old who will box Tony Thompson in December (without the services of Roach, as the two no longer work together) is the most skilled boxer he's been associated with.
"Toney is the most natural fighter I've ever seen," Praised Freddie. "When he says, 'All you mother F*****s have to train but I was born to fight,' he means it. The way he moved, the vision he had, to see everything coming at him, he was just so gifted. He's getting older now and getting hit more than ever. At his peak, though, he'd sit on the ropes and make you miss a hundred punches and come back with counter shots. It was something to watch."
Freddie then lamented on how James had no fondness for training.
"He had no discipline," Roach said. "If he had discipline he could've been heavyweight champion of the world and dominated the division. It just didn't turn out that way. I'm not sure why he didn't get in shape and stay healthy. I guess some guys with that kind of talent just take it for granted."
Interesting revelations from Roach indeed. Even more so is the list Freddie gave of his former fighter's best assets when asked to come up with the "perfect fighter." When making the greatest possible all-round "dream" fighter using the talents of men he trains or has trained, Freddie gave the following choices.
The boxing ability of Toney
The punching power of Mike Tyson
The jab of Virgil Hill
The defensive skills of Marlon Starling
The chin of Steve Collins
The work ethics of Pacquiao and Hill
The durability of Pacquiao.
As everyone will agree, if ever such a fighter existed he would have had a hard time losing even once.

Three local fire departments responded to a blaze Wednesday morning at a Rineyville mobile home after a generator the homeowner was working on ignited.
Rineyville Fire Department Chief Shane Crutcher said 19 firefighters and six units from Rineyville, Radcliff and Vine Grove departments responded after midnight Wednesday to a double-wide mobile home at 692 Deckard School Road.
The homeowner sustained burns to his head and arm, but refused treatment, Crutcher said.
According to Crutcher, the homeowner told firefighters he powers his mobile home using generators, one of which broke.
The man brought the generator inside to work on it, Crutcher said. As he worked on it, he was seated next to a radiant heater and gasoline can.
Some of the fuel spilled, causing a flare up which ignited the generator, the chief said.
The homeowner woke up the other two occupants, who exited the mobile home, Crutcher said.
The man also attempted to remove the flaming generator from the mobile home but was unable to do so, so emergency personnel were contacted, Crutcher said.
When firefighters arrived, the fire was at the center of the residence with flames flashing from the front door and windows, he said.
Responders did not attempt to make entry because the occupants had exited and the fire consumed much of the residence at that point, the chief said.
"We went into a defensive operation almost immediately," Crutcher said.
Crutcher was unsure how much gasoline was in the can or how much was spilled but said there were several sources in the home to power the flames, including two propane tanks.
He estimated the fire was controlled in about an hour. Firefighters cleared the scene between 4:30 and 5 a.m., Crutcher said.
The mobile home is a total loss, he said.
According to Crutcher, the American Red Cross also responded and made contact with the family.
