Cheese spread is one of those products that can be disappointing depending on what brand you buy - it can be bland, salty and have a weird texture. I do love a bit of cheese spread, and I bought a pot of Seriously Strong Spreadable a few years ago when it came out. It has ruined all other spreads for me and I will only buy this one now!
Seriously Strong comes in normal or smoked flavours, a 250g pot costs about £2.50 and a 125g pot is around £1.50, although both sizes can often be found on offer. The pot comes with a foil wrapper which you remove and a clip on lid - although I find the lid a bit flimsy and it doesn't always stay on the pot after the initial opening.
The cheese spread is very thick and dense. The texture is much smoother than spreads such as Philadelphia, which I do like but I find the texture quite grainy. As you can imagine, the taste of this cheese spread is very strong. It's like a mature cheddar but creamy and salty. A little bit goes a long way with it being so strong.
There is no diet version of this spread so it's full fat or go home! As you would expect from a spread made of cheese mixed with other dairy there are a lot of calories and fat - per 100g there are 304kcal and 26g of fat (of which 18g is saturates) There is also 0.9g of salt. This isn't a healthy product, but it is tasty and everything in moderation!
I've used this spread in a variety of ways - on bagels, bread, crackers, breadsticks. It always goes down a treat. Apparently you can heat it up and use it as a cheese sauce but I haven't tried this.
As a product, this is expensive and unhealthy. But it tastes delicious and is a cut above the other spreads on the market. Even when other spreads are on offer, I'll still go for my Seriously Strong to get some taste on my bagel!
Yep I have been a fan of Seriously strong for some time, love the rich cheddary flavour, especially on me hot buttered breakfast crumpet Mmmmm. But `Seriously` cannot understand why Mcllelland have chosen to design a carton which does not have a re sealable lid??? The lid seems to be larger than the carton and therefore once the foil has been peeled back, the lid merely sits on the carton without clipping shut, making the carton less than airtight and requiring the cheese to be consumed rapido. Come on Mcllelland use a bit of `common` and seal it properly!!!

Made with Seriously Strong extra-mature cheddar.
As well as the ordinary Seriously Strong Spread they also make:
Currently £1.48 at Tesco but I got it at half price.
===My Opinion===
The website states - 'Made with extra mature cheddar, which combines a subtle balance of tangy and savoury flavours, producing an intense taste beyond other cheese spreads. Ideal to spread onto toast or crackers, or use as a dip.'.
The tube is narrower at the base than at the top and also has an indentation in the base so it probably seems that you are getting more for the size of the tub than you actually are.
Well I bought a few of these a while ago as I spotted them when I was browsing the Tesco grocery website and as they were half price they seemed a good bet for some tasty snacks - especially as I was also buying lots of different Ryvita at the same time.
The little tubs are sturdy and strong and the two little protrusions make it easy to flip off the lid. The cheese spread is protected by a foiled disc which is sealed down. Once removed you need to use the tub within 7 days, which was easy for me to do, even on my own.
I was a bit unsure when I purchased this that it might have too strong a taste for me, as sometimes cheddar cheese that is too mature is a bit over-strong for me. However I needed have worried as to me I would class this spread as mild.
It may contain 'Seriously Strong' cheese in it but to me the spread was quite gentle. It had a creamy yellow colour and a faint cheesy smell and the same thick texture as Dairylea. Having the spread in a tub rather than triangles is a benefit really as you then only use what you want, rather than having to use the whole triangle up.
I used this cheese spread on Ryvita, in wholemeal sandwiches and on crackers and found it mild and reasonably cheesy. For me I was glad that it was not too strong but anyone buying this thinking they would be getting a strong kick of mature cheddar would be mistaken.
I easily used up a tub within a week and found it a good snack to have in the fridge. It was a bargain at half price but a little more expensive at full price and I may look around for some alternatives.
I have removed one star as, although nice, it is not Seriously Strong in my opinion.
===Star Rating===
4 stars.
===Would I Recommend?===
Cheddar Cheese (53%), Water, Butter, Skimmed Milk Powder, Emulsifying Salts (E339, E452), Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Nisin), Colour (Beta Carotene).
I am a great fan of the Seriously Strong slabs of chees, loving the strong flavour and the nutty texture, expected at least some similarity here but not the case, bland is the best way to describe it, this together with the deceptive packaging and both the packs I bought (special offer) was full of air pockets so seemed to be half full, I will not be buying again
I like the cheese (the little you actually get once you open the deceptive tub...), but how can any serious Food Manufacturer manage to design a tub that has a bottom which does not actually have any grip on the top... or a top that does not have any grip on the bottom???? I don't know about anybody else, but with 3 kids in the house my fridge can get chaotic at times, and I have had to throw away many tubs of Seriously Strong because I found them later...top off.... dry.... Surely it's not rocket science..... ? I wrote to McLelland (quite difficult, in fact, to trace ownership and contact details), and got NO RESPONSE at all... Oh Well! - I won't buy it again - I shall make do with my Dairy Lee with home-added bits.Thanks McLelland!!
In every single pot of this cheese I have purchased, there have been large air pockets. I don't like paying for air in my cheese spread and I also dislike the way the underneath of the carton is hollowed in. This means the pot is misleading the consumer into thinking there is more cheese in the pot than there actually is. I intend to submit a complaint to the company about this practice. But I can't fault the actual product. It is delicious in a bacon sandwich with mushrooms.
I actually brought this McLelland seriously strong spreadable cheese just to allow me to qualify to use a money off voucher on cheese. I have purchased the seriously cheddar cheese on many occasions as Tesco often have it on a special offer but I had always passed the spreadable cheese by for some reason.
I paid just £1.00 for a 125g tub of the spreadable cheese. I thought this was fairly good value until I opened it and realised that the tub is actually deceivingly small inside as the bottom has an indent in which makes it appear bigger than it is when it is sat on the supermarket shelve!
The spreadable cheese comes in a plastic tub which has a lid with two tabs at the top which easily allow you to pull it off. Inside there is a foil seal that again can be easily peeled back with the tab it had sticking out. This allows the cheese spread to stay fresh and you can also make sure that the tub has not been tampered with the first time you open it.
Now I have been using this cheese spread simply on sandwiches and on crackers but I was quite surprised to see than you can also place it in the microwave in its tub to make it into a hot cheesy dip. I thought this was a great idea and certainly something that I will be trying over the festive season when I have friends and family over. To heat the cheese spread you simply remove the lid and foil, place on a plate and heat in the microwave on full power for between 50 seconds and 1 minute obviously depending on the power of your microwave. Although you need to note the warning on the tub that once heated you should not reheat the spread.
Overall although disappointed with the size of the tub of cheese spread I was very impressed with the taste. I have always liked diarylea and to me this was like a grown-up's version, it was not quite as strong as I was expecting but it still had quite a deep flavour. This is probably down to the fact that the spread contains 53% cheddar cheese which is a lot more than other cheese spreads I have tried. This also means that you do not have to use a really thick layer of the spread to be able to taste it, which probably somewhat explains the small tubs size. It was also very easy to spread even onto very fresh bread as it did not tear it leaving you with holes in your sandwich. I would certainly buy this cheese spread again and especially now I know it can be heated as a dip too.
I have liked this cheese spread for years even before it became popular. Although I am not keen on the block seriously strong cheese - I find that a bit too strong for every day eating.
The spreadable costs around £1.25 for a 125g tub.
The spread is quite thick which I like, and it tastes of cheese; which is what you would expect but a lot of cheese spreads are really mild and tastless. It also smells of cheese when you open the tub and it spreads nicely and is not watery. It is a firm cheese spread.
This cheese spread is very versatile it can be used on crackers, bread or to dip things in.
I like to use this when I am cooking a sauce especially if I am making a pasta sauce, although it is very nice in a jacket potato as well.

This spread can be enjoyed by both adults and children. A lot of children don't like strong cheeses but this spread isn't really as strong as a hard cheese would be. A child would just think it was cheesey and a nice smooth spread. My girls love this cheese because it actually tastes like cheese unlike some other cheese spreads (which they also like) that just taste creamy.
I would recommend this cheese as it is enjoyed by all my family as a spread or when it is used in cooking.
I just adore your Chili Cheese spread. BUT the lids do not fit properly, which means the cheese gets a bit dry around the edges. I now cover the pot with cling film and then put the lid back on.Apart from this little moan, the chili cheese spread is absolutely fantastic, either on hot toast, crackers or added to cheese sauce for making macaroni and cheese.
when this cheese spread first appeared on the market, i gave it a try, and quite liked it, however in the past six months 3 tubs which i purchased from local superstores have not emulsified, and could be poured from the container, one i could have accepted as a blip, but it seems this is a common fault. I have been on the McLelland website and tried to submit a complaint, but have found myself obstructed when submitting the form, they certainly do not make life easy. I am going to vote with my feet and not purchase this product again. I notice it is made in France, that speaks volumes!!!
I do like a strong bit of cheese on my crackers, in my sandwiches and on my cheese-on-toast.
Although it is not exactly a difficult job, I really can't stand the process of grating cheese or slicing it up just into the right size for your bread or crackers - especially on those days when you are really starving and really need to get some food in you quickly.
One of my favourite cheeses is McLelland Seriously Strong Cheese, so I was really pleased to see that you can get this as a cheese spread.
First thing you need to remember about a cheese spread, is that it is going to have a bit of a false, processed flavour to it. I am sure most of you are aware of this and have kind of grown used to it over the years.
McLelland's Seriously Strong Spreadable Cheese is just a little different. The seriously stong flavour does move away a little from that processed taste, that you have accepted all these years, simply because it is what was in your lunchbox at school or work.
This stuff is simple to use. It doesn't clag up in the fridge, and is still easily spreadable.
I love the idea that this comes in a tub rather those foil wrapped, triangular portions - getting the foil off these is more frustrating than grating normal cheese.
This comes in a tub - as far as foil is concerned, there is just one peel-back layer, then you can get straight in there with your spreading knife.
This is seriously tasty, quick and convenient. Recommended!
McLELLAND SERIOUSLY STRONG CHEESE SPREAD
I have just discovered McLelland Seriously Strong Spreadable cheese and I am hooked! I am a big fan of cheese and i think that cheese often "makes" a dish, but I have always struggles to find a cheese spread with any real "bite " to it.
McLelland was founded in 1850, their company is known as Lactalis McLelland.
The spread comes in a 125g round plastic pot with a foil lid underneath the plastic one. The pot is mainly red and it has a red rosette on the lid on a cream background with the words :-
McLelland Serious about cheese since 1850
SERIOUSLY STRONG SPREADABLE in the centre of the rosette.
This is repeated on the side along with the nutritional values and ingredients. These are:-
Seriously Strong Cheddar Cheese(53%)
Skimmed Milk Powder
Emulsifying Salts (E339, E452)
Preservatives (potassium sorbate, nisin)
Colour (beta carotene)
Contains Milk

When you undo the foil it really does have a strong cheddar smell, its quite thick and firm compared to other cheese spreads but not too thick to spread on your sandwich. The cheese spread tastes just like good strong cheddar, really tangy on the tongue compared to some other cheese spread which tend to be too mild and bland.
It is suitable for nice crusty bread, crackers and toast (really nice because it melts slightly!) But one of the things I particularly like about this product is the fact that if you remove the foil lid you can microwave the pot and have an instant cheese sauce, cheating I know but after a long day at work its so easy to pour over some pasta, it also makes a really good fondue dip. It makes a very nice sauce lovely and creamy and really cheesy.
I definatly recommend this product whether its for a cheese spread or a sauce it is lovely.
Lovely strong cheddar cheese taste
Can be microwaved to use as a sauce
Very versatile
It only comes in one size pot
It says on the side of the pot that microwave instructions are on the foil lid and when i opened it there was nothing on the foil lid so microwaving is a bit of trial and error.
I think there is a need for me to clarify something here! I entered the chilli cheese spread as a suggested product. Dooyoo did not turn it down, they just said it already existed (under the regular cheese spread). I therefore felt it was acceptable to review the chilli cheese under this heading (I accept my original review did not make this clear, and I apologise if this upset anyone). If I should have done this in a different way, then I am sorry. I am still new.
Being a big fan of McLelland seriously strong spreadable cheese, I was very excited to see there was a new kid in town in my local supermarket - spreadable cheese with chilli!
I love McLelland seriously strong cheddar as I like my cheese to be brimming with taste. I discovered the spreadable cheese whilst away on my Hen Weekend in May 2007 - (yes, I know weird, but as I no longer drink, I have to get my kicks elsewhere!). I had, for a number of years been missing the spreadable cheddar - 'Cheddarie' which made a brief appearance on supermarket shelves in the 90's I think. Dairylea, and other soft cheeses didn't cut it, I wanted a spready cheddar!!!
McLelland was founded in 1850. Archibald McLelland, originally a grain merchant started selling cheese from a stall in Glasgow's fruit market. McLelland is now one of Glasgow's leading cheese brands.
Now, back to the chilli spreadable cheese. It is housed in the same rounded container in which the regular spreadable cheese lives. These tubs are 125g weight with their cheesy contents. Whilst the regular spread tub has the red/terracotta and cream colours of the McLelland seriously strong cheese, the chilli tub is mostly green in colour apart from the McLelland logo and rosette on the lid.
On opening my first tub of chilli cheese, I could barely contain my excitement. I love cheese and I love chilli - no need for a Harry Hill 'fight' moment here, as they are both together in perfect harmony!
I peeled back the protective foil and beheld an orange coloured spread in which I could see little red flecks - evidence of the chilli within!! This spread is far more orange in colour than its regular spread cousin, but smells pretty much the same. Of cheese!
Now the taste - it is fiery!!! Just a small amount, no larger than a 1p piece is enough to make you gasp! At first, you only taste the cheese spread, but it is soon followed by a great big chilli kick! The first time I ate this, I spread a generous amount on a slice of bread the way I normally would with the plain spread. I have to be honest, it was a bit too hot! I like hot, but had not expected this. As everyone has a different idea of what 'hot' is, I will try and place myself on the hot scale. I have never eaten a vindaloo, and neither do I want to! I find korma is not strong enough, and I am usually happy with a bhoona or similar. If something is marked 2 chillis, I am usually ok with it. 3 are too many and 1 is not enough. I love Thai red and green curries, but if something just tastes of hot, I don't really enjoy the experience.
I hope that helps to give an idea of the spice factor of this cheese. It doesn't hold back so is not for the faint hearted!
As it is on the spicy side, it is an ideal sandwich ingredient. I tend to have with some ham, and salad. Whilst I do like this cheese spread, the predominant taste is chilli. It tends to take over so you don't really get to taste the cheesiness of the spread for long. This is not a problem I feel as if it is cheesy you want you can buy the normal spread and if you are a chilli fan you will probably like how spicy it is!
As for nutritional content, it is exactly the same as the regular spread with 1248j / 301kcal per 100g. No surprise it is high in fat 25.6g, 17.9g of which is saturated. It is however high in calcium, so that is the good news!!
This is my first food review, and I don't feel my talents lie here in particular but I felt it important to try and move away from baby related products! I hope you get the chilli cheesy picture.
Thanks for reading.
Based on a review on this site, I recently purchased a pot of McLelland Seriously Strong Spreadable Cheese. I'm always looking for something unusual and easy to spread for my packed lunches, and this looked ideal. Since I do like Seriously Strong Cheddar, I thought I was almost certain to like this spread. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.
This cheese comes in a lovely bright red tub that stands out from the shelf and made me want to pick it up. It's stored in the refrigerated area of shops near the blocks of cheddar and it's sold in most places so is quite easy to find.
At the moment it's on offer at Tesco for 2 for £2, but usually costs around £1.20 for a 125 gram tub. This is enough to make 6-7 sandwiches in my estimation so it's quite a good bargain for a sandwich filling, working out to less than 20p per sandwich.
To eat this, I just spread it on a plain white sandwich roll and then packed it in my lunch to take to work. I didn't add any salad or anything to the sandwich but you could certainly do so if you wanted. The sandwich sat in a plastic bag on my desk for around 4 hours before I ate it and it tasted just fine without being refrigerated for that amount of time.
However, I personally didn't enjoy the taste of this cheese. It tastes processed and fake to me and doesn't resemble the high quality cheddar that I have come to expect from McLelland. Basically, this didn't taste much like cheese to me but more like a thick mayonnaise. This is strange because looking at the ingredients list it does contain 50% cheddar cheese along with other ingredients like butter and skimmed milk powder which shouldn't be too bad. But this just didn't taste good to me and I felt like I was eating something very over-processed and unnatural.
Having grown up in the USA in the 70s, I am very familiar with a product we refer to as "spray cheese". This is also known as Easy Cheese and comes in a spray can so that you can just squirt it onto crackers, bread or what have you. This cheese is about on the same level as Spam in terms of convenience foods that I think are quite humourous and not very tasty. Well, this cheddar spread tastes just about exactly like spray cheese did.
Having said all of that, I do know other people who like this cheese including my boyfriend who says it tastes just fine to him. That's great, he'll be getting the rest of the pot on his sandwiches as I don't want anymore myself.
I would say if you don't mind processed foods you'll probably like this cheese, or maybe it's just me as I suppose I prefer my cheese to be 100% cheese. I'm quite surprised that this product comes from France as I wouldn't have expected them to make something that doesn't taste like real cheese!
This cheese has 198 calories per 100 grams which isn't so bad, as it works out to about 50 calories per sandwich if you make just 5 sandwiches from a pot of this stuff. So that might be an incentive to buy this, but it just isn't enough of one for me to purchase this again.
Having read a review on this cheese a little while ago that praised it to the skies, I decided to look out for it, as I have trouble finding a good strong cheese spread. Luckily, with its lovely red tub, with the rossette style logo on the lid, it was really easy to recognise, and at £1 for 125g, it wasn't too expensive either .
On closer examination of the tub, I can see that not only is it suitable as a cheese spread, but apparently that it can also be used as a sauce, with the packaging telling me to 'see foil for recipes and microwave instructions'. Pulling off the lid, I looked at the foil, to be greeted with - nothing at all, just a blank silver foil . Maybe, for some odd reason, they'd printed it on the inside of the foil, a cunning ploy to make sure we actually bought and opened the cheese to get the magic recipe. Alas, pulling that back, there was still no recipe or heating instructions.
There was however a lovely creamy white cheese, with a very strong smell to it . This smell is a good omen - so many spreads are bland and boring, lacking utterly in flavour, but this small indicated this was something different. Scooping some out, and spreading a generous layer onto a slice of bread, I was pleased with how easily this spread - no tearing of the bread, no hacking at it to try to get even coverage - it just glided on with no trouble.
Popping it into my mouth, I took a big bite - and was very pleased with the result. While being a spread this obviously wouldn't have the texture of a good cheddar, I was amazed that it had something of the taste . A cheese spread that actually tastes like cheese - what joy! And not a weak, namby pamby cheese either, but something with a little bit of bite . Something that on further experimentation proved very capable of fighting it out with marmite on a slice of toast and still being able to taste it . A glance at the ingredients reveals that 53% of this spread is cheddar cheese, which probably accounts for its excellent flavour.
I'm very impressed with this cheese . It is inexpensive, spreads beautifully, and tastes amazing. I'll certainly be picking this up again.
5 stars .

I trust everyone had a fun and safe series of holidays, but it's time to get back to business. There's a whole new year ahead, and that of course means plenty of new resolutions, ups, downs, crazy Apple Rumors, and the MacWorld Expo!! Yup, we're one week away from what are bound to be some big things. If you were skeptical in the least, I think the beautiful new graphic adorning Apple's website should set you straight.
EDIT: It's probably just my history of obsession with Apple moving [back] toward black hardware, but when's the last time we saw an Apple logo in black?? I know, I know. It's just black in appearance because of the contrast from the bright light behind it…I'm just saying. Black [steel] Mac Pro 8 Core towers in a week…?

The Pastoral Clinic

Beschreibung"The Pastoral Clinic" takes us on a penetrating journey into an iconic Western landscape--northern New Mexico's Espanola Valley, home to the highest rate of heroin addiction and fatal overdoses in the United States. In a luminous narrative, Angela Garcia chronicles the lives of several Hispano addicts, introducing us to the intimate, physical, and institutional dependencies in which they are entangled. We discover how history pervades this region that has endured centuries of material and cultural dispossession, and we come to see its heroin problem as a contemporary expression of these conditions, as well as a manifestation of the human desire to be released from them. Lyrically evoking the Espanola Valley and its residents through conversations, encounters, and recollections, "The Pastoral Clinic" is at once a devastating portrait of addiction, a rich ethnography of place, and an eloquent call for a new ethics of care.

It is that time of year once again. Yes, New Year is here. 2011 to be exact. And what do we do when New Year's rolls around? We make resolutions - some we keep, most we do not. Some we wish he had kept when the next New Year comes around. But what about your pets? They really do not understand the whole concept of New Year's Resolutions and how to make them, so maybe we can help them make some great resolutions for 2011. Yes, resolutions that we can help them keep. But what resolutions would you make for your pet? What would be a good one?
Read on and find out what the Top Ten New Year's Resolutions For Your Pet are:
1. Get Fit and Get In Shape: Now is a good time to make a commitment to good health. Check what your pet's weight should be and work at getting your dog or cat into a healthy weight zone. Extra walking and playing time will help burn calories and build lean muscle mass. You will get an added benefit of getting into shape along with your pet! If you have an older pet or one with health issues check with your vet to be sure you will stick to activities that are best for your pet.
2. Drink Lots of Good Clean Water and Eat Good Nutritious Food: Spend a little extra time to be sure your pet can easily meet this resolution! A fresh supply of good clean water is a healthy choice every day of the year. In the summer as well as in the winter, water is needs to be available on a constant basis. Supply your pet with their nutrition needs through good nutritious pet food. Table scraps can lead to health problems. Most all pet food contains the needed vitamins, minerals, supplements, protein, etc, that your pet needs -- you do not have to spend big bucks on holistic and raw food if you cannot afford it -- stick to your budget and still feel good that you are providing nutritious food made for your pet's health requirements.
3. Get Regular Check Ups at the Vet: Taking your pet to the vet at least once a year for their annual examination, shots and physical is a great resolution for your pet to keep. Regular vet visits help keep them healthy, keeps you informed on any changes, and helps keep you on track as far as managing their weight or any health issues. Older pets often need to see the vet twice a year for optimal tracking of their health. Seeing your vet on a regular basis turns out to be much less expensive then waiting for a crisis or serious health issue to occur.
4. Have Your Pet's Teeth Cleaned To Keep Them Healthy and Strong: Regular dental health is another great resolution. You go to the dentist, they can go get their teeth cleaned and inspected. Avoid gum disease and loss of teeth through trauma or the aging process. You can help keep their teeth happy and your pet healthy by brushing their teeth on a regular basis as well as buying them special dental cleaning treats to help you in this important health matter. Many and maybe most people do not brush their pets teeth - it is easier to start when your pet is young to get them used to this; it may make for some tense moments to try and brush a full grown dog or cat who has never had this done before. Talk with your vet if you are uneasy about this or need some tips to get started.
5. Go On A Trip To Relax and Regroup: We often need a break or vacation from work and daily stress to unwind, relax, and just re-kick the great feelings into high gear. Your pet would love this resolution to come true for them! If you cannot take them on a real away from home vacation, taking them to the park, taking them for a ride in the car, taking them with you to the pet store is often a vacation that helps your pet enjoy life to the fullest and to de-stress as well. They may just enjoy home life more when they get a chance to get away for an hour or two.
6. Practice Relaxation Time: I enjoy a short relaxation time at the end of a work day, and your pets can enjoy this too. Turn off the TV or loud stereo. Get rid of distractions. Relaxation may mean just sitting on a park bench watching the world go by. Do what feels good and makes you feel relaxed. Spend some time laying with your pet, hands on furry friend and just enjoy the time doing nothing. Maybe some slow petting or stroking of their fur will not only help them, but help you as well to relax. And if you fall asleep your pet won't mind!
7. Brush Your Pet's Coat For Lustrous Hair And Good Skin Integrity: You remember the old saying about brushing your hair 100 strokes a night for a healthy scalp and hair? Well, the same can apply for your pet as well. You may need to get them used to this pampering experience, and soon enough they'll be begging for their hair brushing! Use a special pet brush made for your pet for comfort and best success. Brushing your pet's coat is also a great time to be observant for any skin issues or painful areas that may need to be checked out further. This is a pet resolution that they will not fight you to do, and it's a great bonding time for both of you.
8. Get Plenty of Regular Play Time: This is an easy one and fun to do too. Play in the house or outside, your pet will just love the time spent with you. Tossing a ball across the room, or hiding treats for them to find, or even setting up play activity centers gives them a new outlook on their regular day, and gives you time to spend with your pet. Play time is also exercise time and this can help with the resolution of getting fit and in shape. It also helps with relaxation and fun time too!
9. Give And Get Hugs and Kisses: A well loved pet is one that does receive special attention, love and maybe even kisses! Even if you are not one to kiss your pet, a pat on the head, a hug, a few moments of stroking give your pet a special loved feeling inside. Loved pets are happier and live longer. It is kind of like being in a great loving relationship with another person - you are healthier, live longer, and are just happier overall -- the same is true for your pet. Give them love and get more than you give back!
10. Stay Young At Heart: Play, Have Fun, Love, Be Loved, Enjoy Life, Eat Well, Drink To Quench Your Thirst, And Just Thoroughly Enjoy 2011 working on all your pet resolutions!
Happy New Year! Happy 2011!!

I use my camera as a means to suggest an aesthetic order or a personal vision of what I see in the natural world. My visual tools are light and shadow, texture, and the shapes of natural objects. These elements have a potential for abstractness, ambiguity, and metaphor. I try to show the connection between ordinary objects and abstraction or metaphor. My hope is that my photos will encourage people to look freshly as what they see or experience.

Why Loan Scams Are Increasing
Bad times bring out the bad guys. Whether it be a national tragedy, natural disaster, or economic downturn, fraudsters are looking to capitalize on people's pain. This time, it's the credit crunch that is fueling redoubled targeting of loan scams aimed at small business owners, says Alison Preszler, a spokesperson for the Better Business Bureau (BusinessWeek, 2/21/08). She spoke to Smart Answers columnist Karen E. Klein recently about the uptick in the BBB's fraud complaints and how entrepreneurs can avoid falling for a con. Edited excerpts of their conversation follow.
Small business owners have seen their access to funding squeezed recently. Are there con artists stepping into this void?
Yes, it seems that they are, given the increase in the number of complaints we've been getting. In 2006, we got 1,700 complaints about advanced fee loan scams. In 2007, that number jumped to more than 3,000. In 2008, we've already gotten 400 or 500 complaints.
How do criminals reach out to the small business owners who become their victims?
They set up sham companies that send out e-mails or call people on the phone to say they're preapproved for a credit line. With the credit crunch, people are digging down into their cash reserves, and they may be desperate to find money to keep their businesses going or to grow. This environment is where we see scammers finding ways to get in and take advantage of the economic downturn.
Are these new scams they're running, or the tried-and-true varieties?
These scams are not new. They've been around for a long time, but it's unbelievable the amount of people who lose money to them.
If they've been around so long, and they're so ubiquitous, why does it seem to be so difficult for law enforcement to shut them down?
The government does go after them, but consumer issues aren't at the top of the law enforcement priority list right now, with a war in progress and the threat of terrorism. Also, it's not easy to prosecute these guys. A number of them are based overseas, primarily in Canada and Africa, and most of them are online. So the scam Web site is up one day and down the next, and the perpetrators have moved on. They're hard to trace. We feel that the best thing we can do is educate the public about how to avoid these frauds.
That doesn't mean that people who get taken advantage of by a scam should just put it behind them. They should absolutely contact the BBB, file a complaint with us, and contact their state's attorney general. Some state prosecutors are more active than others, but it never hurts to file a complaint. If the attorney general's office gets enough volume of complaints about a company, they'll dedicate some time and resources to prosecute them.
How much are small business owners losing in these frauds?
It varies, but most lose a couple thousand dollars up to $26,000, which is the largest amount we've recorded so far.
Can you describe how the most prevalent scam works?
The advance fee loan scam targets small business owners looking for money to grow their businesses. Maybe they're trying to get a construction loan, but they've been turned down by traditional lenders. Then a company draws them in and tells them they are going to qualify for a loan worth a couple hundred thousand dollars. They'll say it's your lucky day, and all you have to do is send some money to cover administrative costs, or taxes—they use any number of excuses.
Next, they ask for a wire transfer or a cashier's check to cover these initial loan costs. Once the entrepreneur sends the money, many of the scammers simply disappear: Their phone gets disconnected and there's no way to get a hold of them. Other times, the scammers manage to string their victim along for a couple of weeks, asking them to send more money to "complete the transaction." They keep this going until the victim finally catches on, then they disappear.
How can entrepreneurs spot an advance fee loan scam and avoid it?
The request for a wire transfer should be a big giveaway. That's because once you wire money to someone, it's gone. You can't cancel it like a check or a credit-card charge. Never, ever, ever wire money to someone you don't know. The same is true with sending a cashier's check. Also, there's not usually a legitimate reason to pay money in advance for a loan. Fees and points typically get added on to the loan amount, so a request for money should be regarded suspiciously. And certainly don't enter your financial information on any Web site. Some of these sites include a Web form where they're asking you to fill in your bank account and Social Security number. That's another giveaway that something's wrong.
Before you do business with any company, check them out online with the BBB. You can also enter the company's name in an online search engine. Use quotes around the name and tack on the word "scam," then see what comes up. If this company is fraudulent, there may be complaints about it from other people who've been scammed.
We've written frequently (BusinessWeek, 2/27/08) about the "government grant" scam. Is there a resurgence of that one also?
Yes. In 2007, and so far in 2008, BBBs across the U.S. have received hundreds of complaints from small business owners who were burned by online offers about receiving government grant money to start their business. People tell us that they paid for help getting grants but never got help from anyone. Anyone who is looking for grant information can go to a legitimate site, www.Grants.gov, and there's no application fee. The information is out there, and the U.S. government does not request payment for any kind of application review or grant award process.
What other resources are available for business owners investigating credit offers to see if they are for real or not?
We have online tips about advance fee loan scams and guidance on getting legitimate loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration. We have also put together a tip sheet on grant scams.

Overwhelming odds mean nothing when everything you love is on the line.
With the freedom of an entire race hanging in the balance, Evalle has two days to make good on a promise that she suddenly has no hope of fulfilling when demonic Svart Trolls invade Atlanta. She takes a leap of faith, seeking help from the one man who recently put Evalle in his cross hairs–Black Ops specialist Isak Nyght. While trying to stop the bloody troll-led gang wars, Evalle unwittingly exposes a secret that endangers all she holds dear, and complicates her already tumultuous love life with the mysterious Skinwalker, Storm. But when Evalle discovers she's the number one target in the Medb coven's ruthless plan to destroy all Beladors, the deadly Alterant is forced to make a game-changing decision with no...
Evalle is an Alterant—half Belador, half unknown. She spent the first 18 years of her life locked in a dark basement with a 20-year-old set of encyclopedias and a banged-up tv. Yeah, she has a deadly reaction to sunlight, but that's not why her aunt kept her imprisoned. When a druid appeared out of thin air on her 18th birthday, and told her she had a destiny to become a Belador warrior, she jumped at the chance. Who...View Character Profile

Cathbad the Druid doth bind Queen Medb
By vow thus struck with blood and blade
Birth afore death and death afore birth
The last shalt rise afore the first
That by fair child of Findabair
Medb queens shalt rule the tower lair
Twenty score years and sixty six days
Not one more breath shalt they take
Until such time the beast doth rise
Of ancient blood and flame green eyes
And bring to power a queen once more
Immortal to rule as none afore.
Prophecy of Cathbad the Druid
"Answer me or accept death," a female demanded.
The smooth texture of her voice was familiar to him, but not the dangerous edge in her tone. Storm floated in a timeless cocoon of peaceful darkness, content to stay here if not for that disturbing ultimatum.
"This is your last chance," she snapped at him, fury powering her words. "I would never have thought you a coward when it came to facing pain, Storm. Speak now or prepare for eternity."
Time. Pain. Death.
Understanding crept into his wavering consciousness. He focused on his body, or lack of one now that he identified this murky sensation as being suspended between life and death. He'd been here once years ago, as a teen.
Threads of awareness pulled together, weaving a tapestry until an image formed of the woman speaking. Kai.
Storm forced his heavy eyelids open to find her. His guardian spirit sat with crossed legs, surrounded by her favorite meadow, where he always met her. He sat in the same position across from her. Acres of wildflowers swayed gently in a soft breeze that swirled with the fresh scent of outdoors. Sunshine blazed overhead, showering golden light across Kai's honey-colored skin and coal black hair that fell past her waist, sliding over the butter-soft deerskin dress. Not the old crone form she sometimes took. He preferred this younger Kai.
Still fighting his way through a haze of confusion, Storm found comfort in seeing the native Southwestern blanket she used as a shawl. The colors of a sunset woven in the wrap reminded him of one he owned.
His thoughts bumped into each other, knocking loose a memory here and there. Such as, that this realm was always a sanctuary, a welcoming place.
It didn't feel like that now.
Kai existed only in the spirit world. Storm didn't recall initiating this visit. That was not normal. Something had happened to him, to his physical body.
He wasn't here by choice.
She folded her delicate arms. Worry lingered in her doe-brown eyes. "I have given you all the time I can."
Though simple, her words were weighted with a finality that washed away the last of his mental fog. He asked, "Am I dying?"
"But I have a choice?"
"You do."
"Perhaps," she amended.
Less good. "How damaged is my physical body?"
"Your human form is close to expiring. I have fought to prevent your spirit from crossing over for three weeks, but–"
"Three weeks? Am I in a coma?"
"You were, but no longer."
He searched his mind, poking at dark corners to open doors to his past. Nobody wanted to die, but he had a strong sense that he had a duty to stay alive, odd as that sounded. Why? "What happened to me?"
"You were attacked, mortally injured. Your spirit burst into my realm, pleading for me to keep you alive, shouting why you must return to the human world. It has been a battle to grant your wish to this point."
Images sheared past the inside of his eyes. His body crashing into a brick wall. Bones shattering. Internal organs exploding from the force.
But not in his human form.
He'd been a black jaguar.
Strange. He'd refused to shift into a jaguar for many years. Why now?
A new image surfaced. Glowing green eyes on a woman who sent his senses into overdrive. An Alterant.
Evalle Kincaid.
He'd used his Skinwalker gift to shift into animal form for Evalle. To help her find other Alterants…before Sen came to take her…to the Tribunal trial. Sen. Liaison to VIPER.
More images. Sen grabbing Evalle. Storm leaping at Sen.
Sen attacking, wielding kinetic power. Slamming Storm into the brick.
A heart-breaking last look at Evalle's horrified face. One brief rush of her emotions across his empathic senses… Desperation. Misery. Had the tribunal locked her away forever? He had to find her.
One thing at a time. First he had to live.
He nodded, letting Kai know his memory had begun to surface. "Where's my body?"
"Safe and hidden."
"How did you manage that?" He didn't think a guardian spirit could physically move bodies around in the human world.
"I shielded your body from view until I could find help. Then I called upon one you trust. She moved your body to a place where she could tend your wounds. She has kept you alive, but you are not fully healed and now your body is weakening by the hour."
Evalle would be frantic about his dying, but if she was taking care of him that meant she had walked free from the Tribunal. Finally, something positive. "But I still have the choice to live?"
"You have the choice to go back. Living will depend upon whether your Skinwalker gifts can complete your healing. If you choose to return, you must do so now."
"There is no if. I have to go back." He paused, to figure out exactly why he absolutely had to return. To fulfill a task, no, a commitment he'd made. "Something…about Evalle, right?"
"Yes, you had dreams that the Ashaninka witch doctor who searches for you has followed you to Atlanta and intends to harm her."
That's right. The bitch who'd killed his father back in South America. His last dreams had shown her threatening Evalle.
Everything rushed back to him with a vengeance.
He would not let that insane bitch touch Evalle. "Can the witch doctor find my body where it's hidden?"
Relief shoved his worry aside. With Evalle tending his physical body she would be safe until he returned. She'd been watching over him for three weeks? With her so close he was ready to leap back into his body. He missed her in a way he never thought he'd feel about a woman again.
Missed kissing her. Watching her emotions flare. He'd do whatever it took to return. But Kai had said his body was close to expiring.
He asked, "Why haven't I healed in three weeks?"
"You haven't been lucid once in that time so you could draw on your gifts to heal yourself. Taking you to any type of hospital–"
"Would have been dangerous for me," he finished. Because he could have shifted back and forth between human and jaguar form while he had no control over his body.
"Yes. If you had not remained on the edge of crossing over for so long, you would have regained consciousness and started healing by now. As it is, the woman has done all she can. You must return to your body or you will not survive."
"Why didn't you call me back sooner?"
She angled her chin to one side and frowned. Clouds appeared, blotting out the sun and draping her meadow in dark shadows, a sign he'd annoyed Kai.
He held up his hand and humbled his tone. "I meant no insult and certainly no criticism. I just wondered why I spent so much time suspended between life and death when it sounds as though I should have returned days ago."
She relaxed, clearly comprehending his confusion. As the sun shined again, she explained, "You have forgotten our many conversations over these weeks. Every time you disappeared I pleaded, yelled, threatened, anything I could think of to call you back from the edge. Your spirit weakened and slipped further from my hold every day. Had you not answered this time…I would not have been able to keep your spirit from leaving."
His blood chilled at how close he'd been to losing any chance of returning. "Thank you for fighting for me."
She nodded. "I will always be here for you."
"I should get going. Can I return on my own?"
"Not this time. I'll send you, but you must prepare yourself for the pain."
"I'm ready."
"I hope so. And regardless of your physical torment, temper your words. She has been most patient."
Not even pain could make him speak harshly to Evalle. He disregarded the warning and joked, "That's saying something since patience doesn't come naturally to Evalle."
"Evalle?" Kai's soft black eyebrows lifted in question.
"Isn't that who you contacted?"
"You did ask me to go to her first, but I could not find her."
"Then who did–"
Kai's eyes flashed with fear. "You must go now, Storm. Your heart is stopping."
In the next seconds everything in the meadow blurred into a wash of color and sound as if someone had flushed the world.
He knew the minute he re-entered his body.
Agony ripped through him.
A fist slammed his chest, with supernatural force behind it. Someone shouted at him. Cursed him. Heat roared across his skin. Nerves caught fire with renewed life, flooding pain everywhere. Perspiration streamed across his face.
His heart beat. Again. The thud echoed in his ears every painful time blood pumped through the battered organ.
He grabbed at his chest, struggling to draw a breath. Jagged claws ripped through his insides. His backbone wrenched forward as he curled into a ball of misery. Another cramp tightened his chest muscles, squeezing a guttural moan from his dry throat.
Had he really wanted to return to this? Every nerve in his body screamed.
Finally, slowly, the pain in his chest subsided to a throbbing ache, enough for him to draw a ragged breath and hear someone near him.
A soft voice chanted words that made no sense.
Long moments later, he uncurled until he sagged into the soft bed and let his arms fall to his sides. He licked his dry lips and tried to swallow, but couldn't draw a spit of saliva.
Opening his eyes, he found the answer to the question he'd been trying to ask Kai.
The woman standing next to him was definitely not Evalle Kincaid.
Adrianna Lafontaine's arms stretched out over his chest, hands turned up, eyes closed and lips moving as words danced off her tart-pink lips. Barely five feet tall with silky blond hair and a robust shape packed into that small frame, the Sterling witch turned heads everywhere she went.
But she wasn't Evalle.
He suffered a wave of disappointment almost as crushing as the pain racking his body. Kai had said she'd found someone he trusted. That was a helluva stretch, but he did have to admit he was alive, and safe at the moment, thanks to this witch.
When Adrianna finished her chant, she opened her eyes and looked down at him. "You decided to come back?"
He croaked out something that should have been yes.
She disappeared from sight then returned with a plastic bottle of water, lifting his head to let a few trickles fall into his mouth before she laid him back down. "I've pulled out every trick I know, but I've reached my limit, Storm."
"I know." He tried to look past her to see where he was, but the only light in the chilly dark room was the faint glow from a lamp near his head. He managed to get out, "Where am I?"
"An underground space in Decatur I convinced someone to offer me, then to forget he'd done so once I got you inside."
She meant she'd used a spell or some other ability.
Over the next couple of breaths, he closed his eyes and searched inside himself for the power of his jaguar, relieved when he felt his animal presence stir to life. With a concerted effort, he forced energy to spread through his chest and limbs, flinching every time the energy struck damage. He had no idea how long he'd laid there, focused on the healing process, until he expelled a long sigh and paused to rest.
He blinked his eyes open, looking around. "Adrianna?"
She stepped into view and gave him another tiny drink of water. That's when he took in the unkempt look of her jeans and sweatshirt. Not her usual fashion statement.
Storm said, "Thank you for all of this."
"You're welcome."
Sterling witches rarely did anything without some form of compensation. He owed her and he paid his debts. "I'll return the favor when you need it."
"I know." Confidence had never been an issue for Adrianna.
"Who knows I'm here?"
"I told no one. I figured you wouldn't want anyone to know where you were since I doubt your guardian would have reached out to a Sterling witch if she'd had another option."
Adrianna made that valid point without any note of insult in her voice, just stating the facts. Spirits of the light, such as Kai, generally did not interact with witches who dealt in the dark arts. He still had one pressing question. "Do you know what happened at Evalle's Tribunal trial?"
"They released her the next day."
His sore lungs relaxed, expelling the breath he'd been holding. So she was free. "She knows I'm alive, right?"
"I doubt it."
"You didn't tell her?"
"I took a leave from the agency. I've been here with you for three weeks."
Storm lifted his hand to hold his forehead. "You should have told Evalle. She'll be worried."
"Let's get this straight." Adrianna put a hand down on the bed when she leaned in close, smoldering blue eyes turned dark with warning. "I'm Switzerland when it comes to you, Evalle, VIPER and anything else. I have my own set of problems that I've put on hold while I played nurse. Your love life is the least of my concerns. Are we clear?"
Kai's warning to temper his words stopped him from snarling. He didn't see how hard it would have been to have called Evalle and eased her mind, but he wouldn't unload his frustration on Adrianna. "I understand. I appreciate what you've done–"
"I'm sure you do and I want you to remember that when I call in this marker."
Could she be as coldly calculating as she sounded when she'd spent three weeks caring for him?
His empathic senses roared back to life, detecting the determination of a war strategist. She had a goal of some sort–one that mattered as much to her as him protecting Evalle from the South American witch doctor. He was sure of it.
Speaking of Evalle, he asked, "Can you contact her for me?"
"I don't have a cell phone and I'm not about to go hunt down that Alterant."
"Why not?"
"I told you, I'm not getting involved. I have no desire to be stuck explaining to Evalle why I'm the only one who knows how you're doing or where you've been for almost a month." She gave a wry chuckle. "Good luck with that."
"Evalle will understand."
"If you really believe that, you're not as bright as I gave you credit for."
Did he have a reason for concern? Evalle tolerated Adrianna at best, but he'd never shown an interest in the witch. But now that he thought about it, he recalled how Evalle had suffered a few flashes of jealousy around Adrianna in the past.
The simplest thing would be to avoid mentioning that Adrianna had been here all this time. That might work if not for his Ashaninka ability to detect a lie, which came with a counter side–he suffered serious pain if he lied.
A gift that Evalle knew all about.
He was too exhausted to think on that at the moment. He needed to focus on healing fast and regaining his strength so he could get out of this bed. Right now, he'd have a hard time lifting the bottle of water on his own. "I'll find her in a couple of days. What day is it anyhow?"
"Last Thursday in September. Think you'll be fully recovered that fast?"
No, but in a couple days he'd just have to suck it up enough to get behind the wheel of his Explorer. "I'll manage."
"From what I hear, Evalle's not the only woman waiting for you to call her back, Casanova."
"What do you mean?"
"I hear there's a female with a Spanish accent asking around about you."
"What the–where'd you hear that?" He'd told no one, except Evalle, about the Ashaninka witch doctor. She'd never say a word.
"From a Nightstalker. I heard about her while I was searching for intel for VIPER the week before you got hurt."
"You trade for information on her?" he asked. The old ghoul Nightstalkers could take ten minutes of human form if they shook hands with someone who possessed powers.
"No. The Nightstalker tried to cut a second deal for intel on a woman with powers from South America who was interested in a Skinwalker called Storm who could shift into a jaguar." Adrianna paused and looked straight at him. "I wasn't aware of any Skinwalkers…then."
Adrianna knowing about his jaguar form wasn't a problem, but Storm had kept that information from Sen who had brought him in as a tracker for VIPER, an agency that protected humans from supernatural threats. Sen's real purpose had been for Storm to catch Evalle in a lie, to get her booted from the team or locked up, but Storm had decided to help Evalle instead.
The question now was if Sen had known the black jaguar he'd crushed against that brick wall had been Storm. Had he meant to kill me? A bigger concern shoved forward.
If Sen found out about the witch doctor, he'd have the perfect anonymous weapon for getting rid of Evalle–permanently. He'd just have to point the bitch in Evalle's direction.
And nobody–not even the Tribunal–would be able to prove that Sen had orchestrated the death of an innocent woman.
Evalle looked up from her menu, expecting to see the tall waitress with blunt-cut purple hair and tattoos for sleeves…not a pissed-off Celtic goddess with the power to destroy everything in sight.
"Hello, Macha." Evalle mustered the calmest voice she could, considering how much trouble she might be in. Macha wanted information Evalle didn't have. Facts about Alterants like her…beings who were part Belador and part unknown.
As an ancient race who appeared human, Beladors shared unusual gifts like kinetic and telepathic powers. Since they all belonged to Macha's pantheon, they weren't a concern. It was that unknown part of Evalle's blood that labeled her Alterant, an outcast among her own people, that bothered Macha. The goddess wanted to know what caused someone like Evalle to shift into a beast with exceptional powers, even beyond those of normal Beladors, when Evalle otherwise appeared human like the rest of the Belador tribe.
Well, except for glowing green eyes. The dark sunglasses she wore day and night shielded that little oddity.
Macha arched a graceful, yet deadly, eyebrow at her. A cool September breeze ruffled the goddess's waist-length waves of auburn hair. Her gown shimmered with colors stolen from an Aurora Borealis. "I have allowed you three weeks."
Evalle had known this day was coming, but not so soon.
Something must have happened to instigate this unwelcome early visit.
She cast a quick glance around the upper deck of Six Feet Under, her favorite restaurant in downtown Atlanta. A few people had given Evalle's dark eyewear a second look when she'd walked in after sundown, but none of this Friday night crowd seemed to notice the gorgeous, glowing female deity.
Macha must be cloaking her appearance and voice.
Think the humans would notice if Macha turned me into a ball of flames? Probably not. They'd just chalk it up to another unexplained incident of spontaneous combustion.
Evalle dug out a Bluetooth earpiece she'd found in a parking lot. Clipping on the inactive communication device provided her the perfect cover for conversing with an invisible person. "I know you've been patient–"
Macha's glare returned with full force. "What gave you the ridiculous idea that I'm patient? I had you freed from the Tribunal prison based upon your agreement to investigate, and deliver, the origin of Alterants. Have you forgotten?"
Let me think about this. No, I generally remember deals made with deities. Sarcasm would only get her toasted. Literally. Evalle explained, "I've been trying to–"
"I know what you have not accomplished, such as bringing Tristan in to swear loyalty to me and the Beladors. You said that Alterant would provide significant details about your kind. Where is he?"
"I don't know…yet." The night Evalle agreed to the deal with Macha, Evalle had been facing imprisonment for the rest of her life, for crimes she had not committed. Who wouldn't jump to make a deal for freedom at that point? And she'd been sure Tristan would agree, since he and his sister were on the run from VIPER as escaped fugitives. But after three weeks of calling out to him telepathically Evalle hadn't heard so much as a whisper in response.
"Perhaps I was hasty in getting you released."
"No, you weren't." Evalle couldn't afford for Macha to change her mind and end Evalle's hope for true freedom. "The VIPER teams need every able body in Atlanta right now, which is why I haven't had time to hunt down Tristan. You told me I had to fulfill my Belador duties with VIPER. We've all been running constantly because of this outbreak of gang wars."
Macha waved a hand in dismissal at the mention. Belador warriors, who lived secretly among the human population, made up the bulk of VIPER assets. Macha's derisive tone left no doubt about where Evalle's other commitments fell on the goddess's list of concerns.
"Gang wars are a human problem."
"Not this time," Evalle explained. "We've found trolls involved with the gangs." She checked to see if anyone watched her talking, but no one seemed to notice. People flowed around them the way water avoided a rock in a stream.
"Your first priority is your warrior queen when her safety is in question."
That snapped Evalle's attention back to Macha. "Has something happened to Brina?" As goddess over the Beladors, Macha's first concern was Brina of Treoir, the last living descendant. Beladors powers depended upon a Treoir alive and residing inside the castle on Treoir Island.
"The answer to that should be obvious since you're breathing."
Macha would never be known as the nurturing goddess.
Evalle asked, "But Brina's not under immediate threat, right?"
"You don't think so? As of now, you are still the only Alterant who has sworn fealty to me and the Beladors, in spite of the sanctuary I offered to all who will." Macha's tone sharpened, making it clear that she considered the lack of Alterants coming forward to be an insult. "Tristan and his group of beasts remain at large, not to mention any other Alterants we haven't located. With so many beasts and that traitor O'Meary unaccounted for, of course Brina is under immediate threat."
Evalle flinched at Alterants being called beasts. She hated that term almost as much as she hated the unknown blood that gave her the bright green eyes and the urge to change into a monster when threatened.
As for the Belador warrior queen, Brina should be safe in her warded castle on Treoir Isle, hidden in a mist above the Irish Sea. But Evalle caught the shift in Macha's demeanor, the chill in her tone when she mentioned the Belador traitor, Conlan O'Meary. She frowned. "I don't see how Alterants are connected to the traitor."
Macha's luminous blue eyes turned to flint. Furious energy whipped across Evalle's skin, singeing fine hairs along her arms. "I'll speak slowly so I don't have to repeat myself. The traitor is working with the Medb coven. You claimed the Medb intend to use Alterants to invade Treoir Island and attack Brina. Even you should be able to connect those dots without paper and pen."
Evalle wiped a damp palm on her jeans and bit back a retort. Three weeks ago, she'd been locked in a prison with no hope of escape because she couldn't bring herself to hand over other innocent Alterants and condemn them to the same fate. She owed Macha for her freedom and for giving her a chance to prove Alterants were not mindless animals and deserved to be a recognized race.
She also didn't want to be turned into a charcoal briquette. "I see your point and with a little more time–"
"Neither of us has the luxury of time, especially you. An Alterant has killed one of Dakkar's bounty hunters. He filed a grievance with the Tribunal, demanding justice and compensation."
On a scale of bad news, that slammed the top. Dakkar ran a bounty hunting operation that VIPER allowed to function as long as Dakkar performed the occasional bounty job for VIPER. But he could be wrong about fingering an Alterant for the killing since Rías were humans who also shifted to beast state, and the Rías she'd witnessed had slaughtered without thought.
Evalle asked, "Is Dakkar sure an Alterant killed his bounty hunter? Could have been a Rías. Their eyes–"
"Yes, yes, I had a report about Rías eyes appearing human in color instead of bright green like yours, but I doubt the dead bounty hunter was able to report the beast's eye color," Macha finished with dry sarcasm.
Evalle started to point out the differences didn't stop at eye color alone, because she could control her beast when shifted and so could Tristan. But she wasn't allowed to shift and, with the exception of two Rías that Tristan had trained, the other Rías she knew of were mindless beasts when they changed forms, immediately mauling and killing any humans within reach. To some, all beasts looked alike.
Macha added, "Until you supply information to differentiate the two, a Rías is simply another version of an Alterant."
Evalle had no argument when she couldn't clearly establish the origin of her own kind. "So what happens now with Dakkar?"
"A hearing is scheduled for day after tomorrow to decide who is responsible to him for compensation and what Dakkar should receive. Deliver me Tristan and his information by the time I return from that meeting or I will withdraw my support for Alterants to become a recognized race."
The goddess disappeared in a flash of blue and pink light.
Evalle hadn't found Tristan in three weeks. What was the chance of finding him in less than two days?
Even less chance if she didn't get something to eat soon. The smell of fried fish saturated the air and brought on another round of grumbling from her stomach. She lifted a hand to wave over the waitress and order something to go when she felt Belador power blast into her mind.
The telepathic voice of Tzader Burke, Maistir of the North American Belador warriors yelled, Calling in Beladors! Gang war going down in Oakland Cemetery.
The upper deck of Six Feet Under overlooked Oakland Cemetery.
At Tzader's call to arms, Evalle threw cash on the table for her drink and hurried down the stairs, then took off running across Memorial Drive. All Beladors in the area would rush to aid their Maistir, but Tzader was her best friend. She ran hard to protect his back.
She called to Tzader, I'm coming from across the street. Where're you, Z?
East end. Potter's Field near Boulevard.
That narrowed down the forty-eight acre landmark. Oakland was the seventh cemetery in the metropolitan area to be turned into a battleground this week.
Gangs had little respect for the living or the dead, but this level of hostility among so many at one time was unprecedented in Atlanta. Why all these throwdowns now?
And why were trolls all of a sudden infiltrating gangs?
Someone at VIPER had suggested this might be connected to the troll crimes that Belador teams had been investigating in Savannah. That some of those trolls had splintered off to create their own gangs here, but that still didn't explain why they were battling in cemeteries or why every attack involved members of multiple gangs. It didn't make sense.
She found a shadowy spot along the sidewalk where no humans could see her use kinetics. Bending her knees, she vaulted over the shoulder-high brick wall into six acres that had been part of the original cemetery established in 1850. Now she could tap into her Belador speed to cover the half-mile run through a moonless black night.
Tzader added, This is bad. Must be seventy of them out here…something's not right.
Like what?
There's– His voice cut off and withdrew from her mind as if sucked out.
She ran faster, ignoring the thump of worry pounding her chest at the sudden loss of connection.
She told herself that something had taken Tzader's attention, not his life. Darting between tall marble statues and elegant grave markers, she navigated through pitch dark easily with her natural night vision where the world looked like daylight rendered in shades of blue-gray, even with sunglasses.
As she watched for any threat, it hit her that there were no signs of the usual spirit activity in the burial grounds. Not even an orb. That was just weird.
Her fingers curled, ready for a fight, but she couldn't use her powers or her dagger that carried a death spell.
Not on humans.
Gunshots cracked the silence, sharp pops then the boom, boom, boom of a higher caliber weapon.
The acrid smell of blood clung to the wind.
Evalle slowed as she neared the battle. Racing in blind would risk distracting another Belador. Especially if any of them had linked their powers, which multiplied their strength. When linked, Beladors were a near undefeatable force.
But kill one Belador while they were linked and they all died.
Evalle called to Tzader, I'm here and opening up to link.
His voice shouted telepathically to all Beladors in the cemetery. Link now with Evalle to share her night vision.
Eleven hits of power bombarded her from every direction.
She staggered against the initial linking, then found her footing and stepped into the open space where Beladors fought hand-to-hand with humans. Looked like a hundred in battle.
At least now the Beladors would have the advantage of seeing in the dark.
A twenty-ish male wearing blue and white colors of the Ice Blood Posse rocketed out of nowhere, slashing a wicked knife in a quick horizontal arc at her throat.
She bent backwards as the blade tip passed below her chin.
The lack of contact threw her attacker off balance.
Evalle spun forward, planting a foot for support and kicked the ganger against an oak tree as big around as a fifty-gallon barrel.
His body slammed the trunk, but he shook his head.
Not dead.
She'd promised Tzader she'd show restraint after putting a gang leader in traction yesterday…and that had been without tapping her Belador powers. That murdering bastard deserved death for killing a young girl he'd raped and beaten.
Too bad his punishment fell to the legal system or she'd have saved the taxpayers some money.
Shots fired from her left.
With the cover of darkness, she risked shoving a field of energy up to stop the bullets as she turned toward the shooter. Fortunately, he was too far away to see the bullets bounce off the invisible wall of power. She couldn't use her kinetics to harm a human, but she could protect herself and others, especially if she didn't expose her unusual abilities.
She sent a mild wave of energy across the field, knocking the shooter backwards off his feet. His weapon fell loose then…flew up to rest in the nearest tree.
Imagine that.
Two wrestling bodies bumped into her.
She wheeled around, expecting to crack a couple more heads when one of the men started changing. His head stretched in two hideous directions and his mouth widened, accommodating fangs.
This just turned way worse than a gang war.
She called out to Tzader, We got a Rías shifting in the open area.
Tzader called back, Rías? Not an Alterant?
Yep. No bright green eyes. His are natural looking.
Get him away from the humans.
Then another voice came into her mind. Evalle, Tristan here.
Tristan called her now?
Before she could answer him, Tzader ordered, Get the beast to chase you. Don't engage him until I tell you.
Evalle? Tristan said louder in her head.
Power surged through her mind when Tzader started shouting orders telepathically to all the Beladors.
Evalle shook her fist at Tristan's sucky timing, but she had to wait for Tzader to finish before she could shield her mind to communicate with only one person. The safety of her fellow Beladors came first. Nine Beladors had died last year while linked when the Alterant they fought killed one of them. Which is one reason Evalle's freedom had been threatened. Those in power questioned whether she might lose control and also harm humans or other beings.
Like the one shifting before her. Unlike the two Rías Tristan had trained, this one showed no signs of restraint.
Which meant it would eat the human it had by the arm.
She ripped the gang member from the beast's grasp and tossed the cursing human thug thirty feet away.
The Rías roared as he finished shifting.
As per Tzader's orders that were still flowing telepathically through her mind, she lifted her hand and slapped the beast with a mild kinetic blast to get his attention.
That worked, aggravating him.
He stumbled back a few feet, shaking his oversized head that had two holes for a nose and a mouth big enough to fit a human head in one bite. Fuzzy red hair stuck up across his scalp in a Brillo-pad Mohawk. His forehead hung like a canopy over soulless hazel eyes. Thick arms had ripped his multi-colored shirt and three fingers on each hand curled with sharp claws.
Evalle had to get him moving before the other humans saw him. She taunted the beast, "Come on you ugly dog. You gonna let a woman kick your butt?"
Tzader's orders kept pouring through her mind as he directed the team then he told her, Evalle, once the Rías charges you, run toward that patch of trees on the west side of the field.
Evalle glanced away just long enough to make a mental note of the distance. A good hundred yards away. Be ready when I get there.
We will.
Tzader and four Beladors would be waiting to capture this beast…unless they were forced to kill it.
The minute Tzader withdrew from her mind, Tristan's voice snapped at Evalle. You want a tip on the traitor or not?
The traitor? Could Tristan know where Conlan O'Meary was hiding? That would buy her all kinds of points with Macha.
About time she had some good luck. Keeping an eye on the Rías as the beast's vision cleared and he focused on her, Evalle called back to Tristan, Where–
A chain wrapped around her neck and tightened with inhuman power from behind.
The beast howled and rushed her.
Overwhelming odds mean nothing when everything you love is on the line.
With the freedom of an entire race hanging in the balance, Evalle has two days to make good on a promise that she suddenly has no hope of fulfilling when demonic Svart Trolls invade Atlanta. She takes a leap of faith, seeking help from the one man who recently put Evalle in his cross hairs–Black Ops specialist Isak Nyght. While trying to stop the bloody troll-led gang wars, Evalle unwittingly exposes a secret that endangers all she holds dear, and complicates her already tumultuous love life with the mysterious Skinwalker, Storm. But when Evalle discovers she's the number one target in the Medb coven's ruthless plan to destroy all Beladors, the deadly Alterant is forced to make a game-changing decision with no time left on the clock.
The Curse was originally title Cathbad's Curse.

Since I've gotten it running i've had CEL codes non-stop pretty much. First there was a problem with my rear o2 sensor. Fixed that CEL went away. My engine had absolutely no power and another CEL came on, now it was the knock sensor, fixed that, car ran perfectly, i thought. Then after that I got another CEL and its a misfire in cyl 2. I tried swapping the coils with cyl 2 and 4 but then it seemed as if both 2 and 4 didnt work, i could barely get the car to move from first gear so i was scared of taking it to the shop. I switched the coils back but now it still seems like both cylinders aren't working. Any ideas?

All-India Human Rights Watch on Sunday evening held a candlelight march in support of the Class-7 student of Atam Devki Niketan School, who was allegedly molested by her schoolbus driver.
The organisation members also took notice of the alleged derogatory remarks made by a woman cop against the character of students of Devki Devi Jain College, and demanded her suspension.
The candle march that started from outside Government College for Girls on Ferozepur Road, finished at Fountain Chowk.
Organisation president Trishul Aul alleged that instead of taking swift action in the case, the police had been threatening the agitating students.
He said making remarks on character of college students by a woman cop was unfortunate and she should be punished.

BeschreibungIn 1989, after several years of discussion and negotiation, the Regional Econornics Applications Laboratory (REAL) was formed. This unique relationship between the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been a significant source of intellectual inspiration for many students, visiting colleagues and members of the participating institutions for the past decade. The idea for REAL was hatched by Philip Israilevich and Geoffrey Hewings in typical Chicago style - in the back room of a local bar. In early December 1997, their collaboration came to an untimely end when Philip died after a three-year battle with cancer. The challenge of moving across a spectrum from theory to model development to implementation and interpretation provided the underlying motivation for REAL's formation together with an equally important component, namely the translation of many of these efforts into a form that could be understood and implemented by policy makers. For Philip, REAL and the Regional Science Association International provided the forums for his intellectual endeavors, although he also contributed many papers in banking. In recognition of his contributions and to provide a sense of the current research in the fields in which he published, many of the authors of these chapters assembled in Chicago in November, 1998 to participate in a small seminar in his honor. Several others who were not able to come nevertheless contributed chapters to this volume. Subsequently, all of the papers have been revised and updated.

Grid-scale approach to rechargeable power storage gets new arsenal of possible materials
Liquid metal batteries, invented by MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his students a decade ago, are a promising candidate for making renewable energy more practical. The batteries, which can store large amounts of energy and thus even out the ups and downs of power production and power use, are in the process of being commercialized by a Cambridge-based startup company, Ambri.
Researchers show that calcium, an abundant and inexpensive element, can form the basis for both the negative electrode layer and the molten salt that forms the middle layer of the three-layer battery. That was a highly unexpected finding, Sadoway says.
