Iron Maiden To Serve Up 'Trooper' Premium Ale
Iron Maiden vocalist, pilot and all around renaissance man, Bruce Dickinson, is now about to unleash a first-class beer on the world.
Iron Maiden vocalist, pilot and all around renaissance man, Bruce Dickinson, is now about to unleash a first-class beer on the world.
The Irish car bomb (a shot of Irish whiskey and Irish cream dropped into a pint of Guinness) is a standard St. Patrick's Day cocktail, though its origins aren't commonly known.
Get an early start celebrating Saint Patrick's Day with fun, food and entertainment. It's an Irish Dinner Dance Show at the American Legion in Lapeer this Saturday, March 9th from 6pm until 10pm with dinner at 6:30pm. An awesome live Irish band will be playing and dancers from Tir Na N'Og will be performing.
This study is being presented as a warning about the hidden dangers of alcohol. So is it bad that when I saw it, my first thought was, "Nice! Advice on how to get drunk faster!"
It does not take the well trained nose of a beer aficionado to determine if a beer has gone bad or not. No sir; upscale brew connoisseur and backwoods drunkards alike know that there is only one word to describe the putrid scent of beer gone rotten – and that is "skunk."
The art of home brewing can be a challenging process, as it involves a bit more chemistry than most of us are willing to endure to catch a good old fashion beer buzz after work. Until now, that is.
Everyone freaked out when Twinkies went under, and now some American beers could be next. We can't let that happen to some of America's finest and cheapest beers. The website 24/7 Wall Street looked at beer sales data from the past six years and found eight American beers that have all seen horrible drops in sales.
You no longer need a frying pan and steel arteries to make bacon a regular part of your morning routine. That's because 'Bacontrepreneurs' J&D have turned everybody's favorite cured meat into a shaving cream.
Would you eat more fast food from McDonald's if they delivered it right to your doorstep? The burger mogul intends to find out exactly that when they unleash their new "McDelivery" early next year. The only problem? It's in Japan.
Bacon is one of the few foods on this Earth that is perfect and beautiful all by itself, it doesn't need seasoning or melted cheese. However, that hasn't stopped some scientists from trying to make it even tastier...
The Metamora Lioness are hosting their "22nd annual Ladies Shrimp Dinner" on Friday November 9th at the Metamora Lions Hall located at 3970 North Oak Street in the village of Metamora. The event gets under way at 5pm and goes until midnight.
All you can eat shrimp & potato bar. BYOB. Bring a group and play games.
The first of hopefully many Michigan Food, Beer & Wine Fest events will happen Saturday (November 10th) at Flint's Perani Arena. If you a connoisseur of Food, Beer or Wine, this is for you! ...

City 520 bridge update: neighborhood relations crumbling as fast as bridge itself
The Viaduct is such a media whore. Three miles away, the 520 floating bridge is detoriorating under the weight of Eastside SUV-clogged traffic jams and stress of several earthquakes, neighborhood councils and the city are in disagreement over what massive, expensive construction should replace it (four lanes? six lanes? aerial interchange? tunnel? Does this sound familiar, Viaduct junkies?) and a major move in the replacement debate gets but a puny mention in the P.I.
Last week, we printed a rundown of the pros and cons of the four 520 replacement options, but last Thursday the City Council committee on the bridge narrowed the options to two: a six-lane base replacement and a six-lane replacement with the Pacific Street Interchange. The committee also decided to keep the four-lane option lingering on the sidelines like that unpopular kid in grade school kickball games — to be used only as a possible backup.
Neighborhood groups are incorporated into the 520 planning process via the Stakeholders Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from nine neighborhood associations, the UW, the board of parks comissioners and the arboretum. In addition to the four-lane/six-lane options, the city also did a tunnel feasibilty study back in June that came up negative, but some groups think the study is biased and want a new, independent study.
Currently, the most controversial design is the Pacific Interchange, which moves the onramp/offramp part of the freeway from where it currently squats on Montlake to out over the water near the arboretum. Here's a rendering:
That picture is looking toward Seattle, with the UW stadium on the right. The Interchange option is estimated to cost $3.1 billion. The other option still in the running, the 6 lane base, will cost $2.8 billion and not move the onramp/offramp part of the 520, though it will (like the Pacific Interchange) add bike lanes.
The Stakeholders met on August 8th, here's how they lined up:
Eastlake: "Opposes the so-called Pacific Stret Interchange proposal"
Laurelhurst: ditto.
Broadmoor: "Seattle did not grow up around the Freeway. The Freeway came right through our homes like a scar! Now WSDOT wants to build a COLOSAL VIADUCT the size of several KINGDOMES … isn't our City, our Community, our Arboretum, our University… worth a $70,000 Engineering Tunnel Feasibilty Study?! … Broadmoor opposes any further action towards a Pacific Interchange, 6 Lane Option or 4 Lane Option until and Independent Engineering Study is completed."
U-District: Opposes all designs, "could accept four lanes plus transit only lanes, but NOT HOV lanes."
Portage Bay/Roanoke: Opposes all designs, though "could support a better designed alternative which has a smaller footprint and includes mass transit." Also wants a tunnel study.
Ravenna-Bryant: Opposed to Pacific Interchange. Want the (now dismissed) 2nd Montlake Bridge option.
Madison Park: Opposed to Pacific Interchange. "We want to protect the arboretum."
Board of Parks: Opposes the Pacific Interchange and support the four lane.
Arboretum: Opposes the Pacific Interchange.
UW: Opposes Pacific Interchange because of impacts on Arboretum and increased traffic along Montlake and neighoring streets, plus its "financial impacts" to the medical center and athletics during construction.
phew, that's a lot of negativity for this early in the morning. Let's hear some happy voices:
Montlake: "Controversy on SR 520 is not a new thing. What's different this time is that there is one option, the Pacific Interchange, that a lot of people really like. It accomplishes a lot of our objectives."
North Capitol Hill: "We overwhelmingly support the Pacific Interchange. It eliminates the Montlake bottleneck, narrows the freeway through Montlake and Capitol Hill, makes transit options and reconnects neighborhoods via lids."

New technologies that allow scientists to rapidly analyze a person's genome for potentially deleterious variations are now being used by at least 1 company and an academic medical center for prenatal testing, igniting a debate among scientists about the clinical value and ethical implications of the procedure.
Some scientists say that results of new tests that provide information about a fetus' future genetic risks are often ambiguous and may cause parents unnecessary anxiety.

As we ring in the New Year, we're also ringing the alarm bell to protect one of Illinois's most unique and special places, Starved Rock State Park.
Contact the LaSalle County Board and tell them that Starved Rock and the area wetlands are a state treasure to be protected, not mined!
A proposal for a new sand mine adjacent to the park would dewater a high quality wetland and impact the watershed of Horseshoe Creek, which feeds directly into the park. Sadly, even with the vast benefits that wetlands offer, providing habitat and filtering contaminants out of water, the mine would be allowed to cut this marsh off from its water supply. Starved Rock and the rare, brackish wetlands on the proposed mine site are listed in the state's Natural Areas Inventory among the highest quality natural communities in the state, but this affords them little protection.
Over 2 million people visit Starved Rock State Park each year, for the beautiful sandstone canyons and waterfalls. An active sand mining operation will include the sound of dynamite explosions, a landscape clouded by dust and the ceaseless traffic and noise of diesel-belching trucks.
The mine has passed the first hurdle. After 15 hours of public hearings, the LaSalle County Zoning Board approved a special use permit for the mine. The proposal is now set to go before the full county board on January 12, 2012.
Let's start the New Year right and tell the LaSalle County Board to deny the special use permit for Mississippi Sands, LLC and to protect one of our most valued natural treasures!
Happy New Year,
P.S. If you have not visited Starved Rock in the winter months, it's a sight not to be missed. Bald eagles fishing the Illinois River, the frozen waterfalls, and the silence of the park all come together and inspire awe. I urge you to get out and experience this yourself this season! Check out our schedule of outings to Starved Rock and other special places here.
P.P.S. Tell your friends to help protect these precious wetlands, and get your social media circles involved:

While Lindsay Wagner Romps with Son Dorian, Her Third Marriage Heads for a Fall
Kingi, according to his good friend, A-Team stunt coordinator Craig Baxley, is "despondent." To marry Lindsay, who reportedly pursued him while he worked as a stuntman on her Bionic Woman series, Kingi left his wife and their teenage son and daughter. "Henry seemed to disappear once he married her," says a friend who grew up with Kingi in a lower-middle-class L.A. neighborhood. "It was stormy all the way through. He tried to enter her world, but there was never a comingling of their lives."
Reportedly, Wagner gave up drugs and liquor under the influence of the clean-living Kingi. A devoted first-time mom, she took their son, Dorian (born September 1982), everywhere, including the Toronto set of her recently wrapped movie, Martin's Day, leaving Henry alone in their Coldwater Canyon house. "The child situation is a very sensitive issue with Henry," says a friend.
Added tension apparently was created by Lindsay's pressure on Henry to get out of stunting, which she considered too dangerous a profession for a father. Kingi, who is part black, Caucasian, Japanese and Indian, was once active in the Black Stuntmen's Association and is currently with The A-Team. He reportedly earns $50,000 to $75,000 a year. Although Lindsay collected more than $1 million during The Bionic Woman's two and a half years, associates say that her finances later became precarious. Marilyn Ball, the actress' mother and business manager, is said to have sunk a fortune into Portland, Oreg. property, leaving Wagner cash poor when the real estate market dipped two years ago.
But it is Lindsay's undeclared first love—her career—that continues to get in the way of her love life. Currently she is filming Passions, a TV movie co-starring Joanne Woodward, while another TV project, about a woman geologist who lives in the Amazon, is being negotiated.
How long Kingi will remain in the couple's lush, rustic-style home isn't known. Wagner has moved out with Dorian—the one happy product of an unhappy union.

Alta's got quite a reputation, and most of it is well-deserved. But it's often labelled as an experts-only paradise, and that is just not so. Most of the terrain is actually intermediate level, and there's a ton of beginner terrain on the Albion side. If you want redline hairball skiing, that's just downvalley at 'The Bird.'
The snow here is often slightly deeper than Snowbird, but the terrain is more forgiving if you don't have the quadriceps to go full-on hardcore. It's also kind of nice not having to work around the more clueless subset of snowboard culture, who have a tendency to sit underneath blind rollovers, or flop down right at lift line bottlenecks.
For folks staying in the quiet Alta lodges, it can be superb on a powder day morning when Little Cottonwood Canyon road is closed due to storms, but don't expect the runs to open promptly at 9; the patrol will be bombing for a while.
Despite it's cult reputation and obvious advantages (snow, wide open terrain), Alta does have some downsides:
--It's only 2,000 vertical feet. Quite small, really.
--The best terrain in only available via long hikes and traverses. Most of the powder runs bowl out quickly. Runs on the Sugarloaf/Albion/Supreme side require long flats to get back to the lifts. It makes sense that it's not open to snowboarders, because they'd be clogging the traverses and punching post holes to get around.
--The sidecountry is certainly good, but it's better from Brighton, in Big Cottonwood.
--Alta can be mega-windy, especially Supreme and Sugarloaf ridges.
--The lines become huge on sunny weekends when the snow's good.
--The vibe is low key and anti resort-ish, a welcome relief from the endless luxury pandering of Park City and Colorado, but the 'locals' are often pretentious. SLC newbies and bro brahs definitely radiate the attitude that it's a private club for them and their friends. Lift line cutting by the homies can get pretty obnoxious.
But for semi-lift-access powder skiing, especially on a harsh weather weekday, Alta's top end. Just remember to bring skins, shovel and beacon.

??!! The Best Place to Live in Seattle
posted by March 30 at 10:25 AMon
My old friends at Seattle Metropolitan have a brand new issue on the stands. Somehow they managed to do a cover story that doesn't emphasize a numbered friggin' list, which should be a cause for celebration.
However, this issue's cover story is Best Places to Live. Do you know where Seattle Metropolitan says the best place to live in Seattle is?
Kent is the best place to live in Seattle. Thank you, Seattle Metropolitan! See you next month!

Cajun Potato Salad
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 25 mins
Also known as creole mustard potato salad, or like mamaw called it; Lousiana Tater Salad. I am posting for ZWT5. If creole mustard is not available, you can substitute coarse ground mustard with a touch of prepared horsaradish. This is a nice side dish to the Louisana favorite, red beans and rice.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 lbs red potatoes
- 1⁄3 cup creole mustard
- 1⁄2 teaspoon creole seasoning (or cajun spice)
- 1⁄2 cup green pepper (diced)
- 1⁄2 green onion (diced)
- 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
- 1⁄3 cup sour cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄2 cup bacon (cooked or diced)
- 1⁄4 cup parsley (fresh or chopped)
- salt and pepper
- Add potaotes to lightly salted water, cover, bring to a boil on high heat, reduce to a simmer about 20 minute or until tatters are fork tender, drain and cut into 1" chunks. ( some like 'um peeled, we don't.).
- Combine mustard and creole seasoning in a medium sized bowl; add warm potaotes; toss to combine.
- Toss in green pepper,green onion and bacon.
- Combine mayonnaise,sour cream, & sugar, add to potato/vegetable mixture, season with salt and pepper and parsley (optional).
- Refergerate for at least 3 hours to meld flavors.
Most Helpful
This was good and easy to put together. The only thing I changed is I used red pepper instead of green. Made for ZWT5.
This is a very creative potato salad and tasted delicious! I played around with the amounts for the horseradish/mustard (for the creole mustard) in order to make sure that it wasn't too dry. I also threw in a little bit of miracle whip for the sugar. This had a delicious and different flavor! Made for ZWT5, Dining Daredevils
Both my husband and I enjoyed this tasty salad! I used a ranch flavored sour cream(it's all I had) and it turned out well. Thanks! Made for the Epicurean Queens for ZWT 2009! Edited to add that I used veggie bacon!

Litigation Lawyer
There is a statute of limitations for almost every civil claim in each state. Generally, the statute of limitations runs from 2-4 years depending on the type of claim and the state. Some states in medical malpractice actions have implemented what is known as the "discovery" rule, which will toll the running of the statute of limitations until the date the malpractice is discovered or reasonably should have been discovered. However, after 27 years the odds of you being able to act on your potential claim is likely very slim if not non-existent.
This information is provided for general purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created with the furnishing of this advice. Attorney licensed in North Carolina only.
Personal Injury Lawyer
Sometimes the limitations period starts to run when the victim discovers or should have discovered the malpractice. It appears unlikely that any claim would be appropriate after 27 years had elapsed.
[In accordance with the Avvo community guidelines, this communication does not constitute "legal advice", nor does it form an attorney-client relationship.]
Medical Malpractice Attorney
Every state has statutes setting specific times within which lawsuits have to be filed. In Kansas, medical malpractice cases have to be filed 2 years FROM THE DATE OF THE DISCOVERY of the malpractice. If you have known about the malpractice longer than 2 years, you will probably be unable to pursue a claim.

An interracial must.
That's right, 10 foxy tarts exchange the cum of their male counterparts from mouth to mouth in this sweat-inducing vid, but that's not all. A few of the ladies even swallow, and that's in addition to all the hot sex they engage in to get to that point. Pre-nom the production for Best Interracial Title.

I have an Acer Aspire 5935G. It comes with hybrid grahics solution from Nvidia. It has two graphic cards; Nvidia GeForce 130GT M (discrete) and Intel mobile graphics series 4. I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 but I get no information about what graphics card the notebook is currently using. Also how can I use only one of them permanently (preferably Intel graphics), while disabling the other?
By default optimus is not supported in ubuntu so you are probably using your intel card if you havent installed bumblebee. if you want to use optimus you can use the bubble bee projects to run particular programs through the nicer nvidia GPU. it uses a virtual framebuffer to reroute the whole thing. Pretty tricky stuff but relatively transparent to the end user.

"Dampier, Western Australia" Dampier by 1+1
Dampier Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 20 photos
Dampier is a coastal West Australian town situated just over 1500 kms north of Perth. The town is the port base for the mining industry of the Pilbara Region and the North-West Shelf oil and gas fields. Constructed in 1965 it is typically a company town which finally outgrew its limits. As a consequence the nearby town of Karratha was constructed which has now become the more populated and major centre of the region.
The area is arid which makes for virtually constant fine weather, even if very hot at times. Hence the development of salt (NaCl) drying facilities at Dampier which are the largest salt producers in Australia. The salt drying ponds can be seen beside the road driving to the town. Further north is the huge North West Shelf Gas Project of Woodside Petroleum. Gas drilled about 130 kms offshore is piped to the onshore processing facility from where it is piped to the southern part of Western Australia and also shipped to Japan.
Dampier is also at the base of the Burrup Peninsula, a rocky prominence into the Indian Ocean. The peninsula itself was an island isolated by a mangrove creek and salt flats, but in recent times was joined by a causeway to the mainland by one of the mining companies. Around the peninsula lie the many islands of the Dampier Archipelago. These are popular for fishing and diving, being clear tropical waters with coral reefs. The peninsula and the islands have many thousands of Aboriginal rock engravings, one of the great concentrations of ancient lithic art in the world.
- Pros:Spectacular colourful scenery
Reviews (3)
Gas piped in from about 130 kms offshore is processed here and stored before being piped over 1400 kms south and also... more travel advice
In actual fact Dampier is on the Burrup Peninsula but it's further up the other end that it's at its most spectacular.... more travel advice
The campground was quite reasonable and the amenities good, but the attitude and helpfulness of the staff left a lot to... more travel advice

Dampier and Karratha. Dry, stony and wild. Love your Kangaroo pictures! - How did you get to catch them jumping?
The starting center for my NBA fantasy basketball team is Erick Dampier. This place in Australia looks like it is well off the beaten path. The presence of aboriginal art is a bonus. "Zhong Guo" is 'Middle Kingdom' in Chinese.
Must see. (In spite of the grumpy people. Grumpier Dampier LOL)

I have several breakpoints starting at Class.forName(), then connect = DriverManager.getConnection() and the catch (throw e) in the same method (NewTest()). Same problem - reaches line 21 (Class.forName()) then jumps to line 33 (throw e). Based upon your earlier comment, I'm going to try adding more 'files' to the CLASSPATH. It's odd and frustrating that it stops there... I was going to use Oracle but Derby works (if I can get it to work within a program) with the IDE. Thank you! I appreciate the help!

Chapter 10: AbominationLiberton, Scotland
September 25, 1703
Twenty days. She had been on the run for twenty days from Aurelius and his Order. Lenore had used every trick in the book – breaking into a magic shop to steal ingredients for a spell that would mask her scent (her breed of vampires primarily hunted by scent), sleeping only an hour a night at most, and finally she led her tracks to Galway and bought a ticket to an American ship under the close eye of Sarah, one of Aurelius' main lieutenants that had successfully tracked her that far. Heinrich, the Master had been sent onto that ship with Darla and several others; it was her hope that they believed she had decided to hide in America.
However, Lenore was no fool. No creature was craftier than the Alpha and he would still be searching for her with a fiery intensity that threatened to burn her to ashes. Carefully she had made her way by foot, horse, and the occasional carriage to a small village on the border of the Irish Sea. From there she swam – and ye gods it had been cold! – to the Isle of Man, near Port Erin. After a day of much-needed rest she trekked to the other side of the island, a city named Douglas, and then swam northeast fifty miles to Seascale, a small English village. From there she took a combination, again, of traveling by foot, horse, or carriage to reach her hometown.
It amazed her, really, at how much her vampiric body could take. Lenore had no idea that vampires were this powerful. She was unsure if half-breeds had the same amount of stamina – perhaps in the future she'd ask Spike – but she found it most interesting. Of course, about thirty miles into the sea she had tired but her buoyant body was able to float for an hour until she had regained her strength to finish.
Of course, this also scared Lenore…because if she was this powerful then she wondered just how powerful the older vampires were – especially Aurelius.
The worst part of her travels, however, was not her lack of sleeping accommodations or her intense cardio, but her Need to feed. It gnawed at her constantly and while thus far she was able to sate her thirst with animal blood, she found the taste positively disgusting. The first time she had drank from a stray dog outside Belfast she had thrown up. Following that episode she had been able to keep the blood down but it still disgusted her. Thoughts of human blood haunted her and the desire lay at the fringes of her mind – only her fear of being captured overrode the thoughts of blood and death.
Lenore honestly didn't know what to do. Spike had never seemed that disgusted by pig's blood. Perhaps she was doing it wrong? Oh God, what she would give to hear some advice on the subject.
Actually, Lenore was hoping to hear some advice on all of this…from Elspeth. She knew that after her escape Aurelius may desire to kill her remaining family members and Lenore had to return and warn them.
Well, alright…that was only a half-truth. In reality she longed to see her family more than anything. Her heart had been weighted with sorrow for the last two and a half years since she left them for Summerford. That was a long, long amount of time for a mother to be away from her children and the longing to embrace them almost made her feverish.
She wondered what they looked like now. Alexander would be eight, Elizabeth seven, and little Dawnie five. Good God…the last time she had seen her youngest child Dawn had been only thee – what if she didn't remember Lenore anymore? That was a long time for a child to remember…
But the absolute worst thing that Lenore feared was that she wouldn't be able to control her hunger around her children. Elizabeth was so klutzy – what if she accidentally cut himself? At this stage in her life Lenore wasn't sure if she could control her hunger if the smell of fresh blood was in the air.
No, scratch that. Lenore knew she couldn't control herself if she smelled blood. While it was true that she had not tested that theory yet, there was no way that she wanted to put it to the test. Human blood was still in her system after less than three weeks and she could easily recall its delicious, satisfying taste; like sweet and thick honey wine warmed under the hot rays of the sun…
Lenore halted her steps on the hidden path that took her to Elspeth's house. Thinking of all these 'what if' scenarios were filling her with dread and only making her hungry. She was in no condition to see her children today. No, none at all.
But she didn't want to be alone. Lenore was so lonely…she had been alone for years and all she wanted was to feel loved again, to feel like she mattered. Not force fed bled or beaten or raped. She was tired of pain and misery and craved loved right now. The need for that was almost as strong as the need for blood.
After contemplating a moment more, Lenore made the decision to see Fergus. He was the safest bet. She knew her brother would take her in – after all, if he wasn't squeamish about selling his soul to a demon than her sure as hell could deal with the fact that his sister was a vampire.
After trudging another mile under the cover of darkness, she finally arrived at the tailor shop and old family home. There was only one candle burning in the kitchen and the rest of the house was blanketed in darkness. Lenore took a deep breath and faintly smelled the scent of her brother, as well as a strong whiff of alcohol, but Molly was nowhere to be found. Strange. Where would her sister-in-law be so late at night?
Lenore sniffed the autumn air again for clues and this time the scent of sulfur traveled to her nose. She winced in disgust and looked around, but she could see nothing. Far off she heard a dog howl but that was the only noise on this otherwise peaceful night.
No matter. Lenore would figure it out later. Right now she just wanted to see her brother.
Tentatively, she knocked at the back door that led out of the kitchen; the door that was often used to dump out old cooking water and other waste products. She heard the scrape of a chair across the floor and a glass filled with liquid being set onto the table with great care. However, her brother did not make a move to walk to the door. Impatient, she sighed heavily and stomped her foot – God, why did her brother always find ways to frustrate the living daylights out of her?
"Fergus! It's Lenore. I'm back. Now open the door," she called softly, just loud enough for him to hear but quiet enough so it wouldn't attract any further attention.
She heard Fergus' breath hitch and even heard his heart speed up just slightly. "L-len?" he stuttered in surprise.
"Yes, it's me," she rolled her eyes. "Now let me in. It's been far too long, Ferg," she smiled.
Fergus stood up and she heard him walk to the door and place his hand on the door handle. Slowly he opened up the door and gave her a pained look. "Are you here to usher me into the afterlife, Len?"
Brows furrowed in surprise, she walked in gave him a peculiar look as he firmly shut the door. "Huh?"
Fergus made his way back to the table and poured himself some more Craig, his favorite whiskey for as long as she could remember. "Just let me finish my bottle, baby sister, and I'll be ready to leave wit' you," he slightly slurred. Had she not possessed superior hearing she probably would not have noticed; Fergus had decades of drinking under his belt.
Lenore sat down and gazed at him suspiciously. "What, no hug?" she asked in a light and amused voice. Her brother's actions were worrying her, plus his reaction sure was an awful let down. She had been expecting joyous laughter and hugging and him twirling her in the air like he had when she was young!
Throwing the rest of the whiskey down his throat, Fergus glared at her. "Look here, demon," stated in a low and threatening tone. "Just because you've taken her form doesn't mean you are her, so sod off."
Gasping in surprise at his words and tone, Lenore felt her eyes sting with brimming tears. She bit her lip and quickly wiped away the first traitorous, salty drop from her cheek. This reaction was most unexpected – how could Fergus said such hateful things to her? Yes, she was a vampire but she was still his sister…right?
"Okay then," she said in a small voice. "I'll leave."
Fergus glanced up at her in surprise. "Really?" he asked suspiciously. "After ten years of our deal you're going to let me keep my soul that easily?"
Now it was her turn to turn a suspicious gaze onto him. "Wh-what? Fergus what on earth are you talking about? I don't want your soul."
She could hear his heart beat at a furious rate as he sat back into his chair to stare at her. His dark brown eyes narrowed at her in confusion but then widened as comprehension grew in his mind. Thin lips twitched nervously, as if he wasn't sure if he should smile or not, and he clutched his drink tightly in his hand. "Wait. Lenore…that's really you? Not a demon possessing your dead body?"
A relieved smile broke out on her face as she rushed to his side and knelt in front of him. She grabbed his right hand and touched it to her cheek. "Yes, you doofus it is me." Well, maybe not quite. As far as she knew, her breed of vampires kept their soul but she wasn't sure how much of a 'demon' was in her.
Fergus took in a deep breath and then broke out into laughter as he leaned down and hugged her tightly, even going so far as to pull her into his lap to hold her even closer. Lenore snuggled into her older brother's embrace – she remembered how he had done this for her many times when she had been younger. He seemed much as she remembered but his face was gaunt and when she held him she could feel his bones protruding. It made her wonder why he hadn't been eating – stress about his demon deal she supposed.
He broke away from her and held her face in his hands as he examined her, his eyes running across her features. With a soft smile he said, "You haven't changed since I last saw you."
Lenore laughed nervously – it was amazing the anti-aging efforts of vampirism.
"I've missed you," she said quietly as she held his hand, once again reverting to her girlish days of when Fergus was the only person in her family that really seemed to enjoy taking care of her. Back then she would cry on his shoulder about Stephanie Scotts who always made fun of Lenore for walking around with a dreamy look on her face or tell him about her exciting dreams of people walking on the moon. Fergus had always been there for her – no matter what she would always love him.
Fergus frowned and averted his eyes a moment before returning to her. "I've missed you too, Len." Then he grinned and corrected himself. "Lenore; I suppose you aren't a little girl anymore."
She giggled. "You can call me Len," she allowed. Yeah, she hated it in a way but it sounded so wrong for him to call her by 'Lenore'.
He rolled his eyes at her comment. Then his expression sobered as he gave her a curious look. "Len, what happened? Summerford was attacked by demons, or so said the few remaining servants. Elspeth and I thought you died – especially when we never heard from you again. Hell, Elspeth even tried to find a spell that would summon an angel so she could talk to that Castiel being, but she couldn't find anything."
Lenore's teeth bit into her bottom look as she debated what to tell him. After his initial reaction she was suddenly nervous. Casually she got off his lap and went to pace on the other side of the room as she fiddled with the sleeve of the dress she had stolen off a closing line in Seascale. "W-we w-were attacked by d-demons," she stuttered.
"Len, what happened?" he asked cautiously as his eyes gave her a closer examination.
"Do you remember how the vampires were after me?" she asked with lowered eyes.
"They came for me, led by the Alpha of their kind – the most supreme vampire," she answered as she looked up to watch his expression. "I used magic to kill some and Castiel killed some as well, but the Alpha did his own spell that, I don't know," she shrugged. "It made Castiel disappear; some sort of symbol with my blood drawn on the wall. And then…And then he bit me." Lenore held her hands to her eyes as her body began trembling. "I-I changed. He f-forced me t-to drink h-human blood a-and then…and then he f-forced m-me to do other things as well."
As the words left her lips she was reminded again that her life was different now – she may have taken refuge in her big brother's arms for a moment but Real Life had come back and slapped her in the face. She began crying as she spoke, breathing hysterically as sobs racked her frame and she crumpled to the floor. Twenty-six months. Twenty-six months of pure hell and now she had nothing to experience but hell – at least until it was time to see Willow again.
"Len, don't cry," her brother softly commanded as he sat beside her and let her lean her head on his shoulder. He patted her head awkwardly – while Fergus was always the one to comfort her in her family, he was very uneasy around crying. Like Castiel, he never seemed to know what to say.
Of course, no one was as bad at comforting a crying girl as her former Guardian Angel.
For what seemed like an hour, Lenore cried and released all of her emotional baggage from her past two years. Finally, she sniffed and accepted the handkerchief that Fergus offered her. "I'm sorry," she muttered, her voice muffled against Fergus' chest. "I shouldn't burden you with all of this."
"Oh sod off, he muttered, and she could practically hear his eyes rolling. "Ever since you were a babe I promised that I'd take care of you, luv. Cousin Elspeth said that you were special, even all the way back then, and I believed her."
"Yeah," she snorted. "And now I'm just a demon."
Fergus twitched at the word 'demon' and shook his head. "Well, you don't bloody want to kill folks, now do ya?"
"Well, no."
Well then, bugger it all! No one says you have to. Think about it, at least this way you're immortal. That's pretty neat."
A weak laugh passed her lips. "Yeah," she acknowledged softly.
Then her mind processed his earlier words. "Brother, why did you think I was demon possessed earlier?" she asked as she drew back to carefully inspect him.
"Ah, that," he shrugged. "Time's up, luv. Ten years ago to the day, today is."
Lenore wet her lips. "T-today?"
Fergus gave an unaffected shrug. "Yup. Deal's a deal."
"No!" she uttered with force as she stood to her feet. "I won't let them take you!"
Her brother gave her a wry smile. "Come now, baby sister. Aren't I the one that should be protecting you?"
Lenore folded her arms against her chest and shook her head. "Listen Fergus. I know we've never talked about this deal of yours but you know that I know and I know that you know that I know. Bottom line is, I don't care why you did it or anything – I'm not letting Hell take your soul."
Fergus ran a hand through his thinning hair. After a moment of silence he said, "I was drunk."
"Huh?" she asked in surprise.
"Yeah," he snorted. "Me and Jimmy the blacksmith, remember him?" She nodded. "He got the crazy idea in his head and I agreed. I tried to get the spell out of Elspeth but when she denied me I went looking for it myself. By the time I found it a couple of years had passed but Jimmy was still interested. 'Course, we were nervous though so we drank quite a bit beforehand," he smirked with a shake of his head. "Let's just say by the time we summoned the demon we didn't have our goals very well outlined by then."
Lenore sighed and closed her eyes for a moment. "Listen Fergus, I'm not about to tell you that you were a complete and utter sodding moron—"
"—Thanks," he stated sarcastically.
"But that doesn't matter. Somehow we'll—"
A howl cut through the air and Lenore gave a frightened look towards the door. "What was that?" she gasped as another howl, closer this time, sounded.
In response Fergus just got up, picked up the half-empty bottle of Craig, and then proceeded to chug the entire bottle. When he was finished he burped and then gave her a shrug. "Hellhounds, darling," he answered. "They'll be my eshcorts," he slurred.
Lenore let out a disbelieving laugh at his casual reaction and gave him an incredulous look. "Seriously? Seriously? You're just going to let them take you?" she shouted.
Fergus shrugged again and gave her a serious look. "My darling Len, my beautiful baby shishter, I love you. I'm very happy that I got to see you once more. But honestly? There's no way to get out of this. Believe me, I've looked. So the way I see it, I've got to go. However, maybe once I'm down there I'll figure out a better deal." He shrugged. "Who knows? I am a rather cunning bastard," he smirked.
A large figure smashed into the back door and the wood bowed beneath the creature's weight. Past the door she heard a terrifying and unearthly howl that had shivers running down her back.
Lenore raced to her brother and cupped his cheek. "No," she stated vehemently. "I will not allow it! I've seen enough death, Ferg, and I'm not going to see yours!"
He gave her a sad look and then bent down to gently brush his lips against her forehead. "I'm a survivor, Len. I'll figure something out. Don't worry 'bout me."
She drew in a shaky breath as tears began rolling down her cheeks in earnest. God! She had gone years without barely allowing herself to cry – she hadn't wanted to give Aurelius the satisfaction – and now it seemed that she couldn't stop! "Fergus, but what am I going to do without my big brother?" she asked in a small voice.
Fergus gave her a lopsided smile as the door finally burst open. "Live."
Then something plowed into him – a hound with matted black fur and a snout covered with dried blood – and he fell to the floor. "No!" she shouted as she used her vampiric strength to toss the hound against the wall, causing it to emit a high-pitched whine. A second hound ran through the door – and this one was large, standing at four feet – and dug its teeth into her shoulder as it spun her into the air and she was whipped against the wall.
"Lenore! Just leave!" Fergus grunted. As the hound clawed his chest and bit his hand clean off, her brother let out the most ungodly sound that she had ever heard.
Lenore, heavily bleeding, shouted a fire spell at the two hounds that were now on top of her brother, but the flames did nothing to them – she should have known that hellhounds were impervious to fire. Moron! Instead she hastily jumped on top of the larger hound and threw it off of her brother and kicked the second hound. Peering into her brothers pained eyes, she saw his light dimming as he twitched in pain. Sinking down slowly she placed her hands onto his bleeding chest without thinking. "Fergus—"
Then her brain finally recognized the sweet smell of his blood and she looked upon her hands in horror as her fangs extracted painfully. Oh God. The Need was back. It called to her like a siren; deadly and duplicitous it desired nothing more than to turn her into a beast that would feed upon her very brother. The blood was thick on her hands and the scent of fear mingled in with the blood created a sweetness that reminded her of a plump grape. Yes, her brother was like a plump grape, fully ripened on the vine, pumping full of red delicious liquid. Liquid that would truly satisfy her, unlike the swill that she had been drinking for the past twenty days – the twenty longest days of her life.
So wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when one of the hounds pounced again onto Fergus and sank its gruesome jaws into her brother's neck, finally releasing his spirit. With haste the two hounds departed, and she was alone.
Alone with her brother's body and his blood on her hands.
The hands that she couldn't stop looking at. They were soaked with his blood and its redness perfectly highlighted each faint line on her palms. Her mouth was watering and his scent perfumed the air. Suddenly Lenore was feeling claustrophobic and she wanted to leave, no she needed to leave, but it wouldn't let her. The Need was calling upon her to just lick her fingers, just to lick them clean, mind you, because it would be so inappropriate to walk around town a bloody mess. Besides, it's not like she would be drinking from Fergus – he was dead now and that blood was no good. But the blood on her hands was from before and thus was allowable. And, he was already dead. It's not like he would mind her having a little taste.
Her strength was floundering against the Need and Lenore succumbed weakly to it. Her tongue began licking every inch and crevice of her hands like a frenzied cat and she shuddered and moaned in happiness. Oh yes, human blood was so good. So, so good. Animal blood was far from its equivalent.
A sharp intake of breath startled her and Lenore looked up through the open doorway; the door was lying in front of the frame and was scattered to the side. There, her features barely lit up in the dark of night and the single candle flame, was her cousin Elspeth.
Lenore smiled licked her lips. She was so happy to see Elspeth again! Her cousin had her graying hair tied back into a braid and she wore a simple blue dress that contrasted prettily under her pale complexion. "Elspeth!" she cried out joyfully as she stood to her feet.
Elspeth gave her a horrified expression and summoned magic to provide her with a mystical shield. "Back, you demon!" she shrieked. "Get away from the lad and get out of my cousin!"
Lenore frowned…and closed her eyes in revulsion as guilt knotted her stomach. Oh God, Lenore was covered, face and hands, with Fergus' blood. With his dead body right behind her Elspeth must think that she killed him. Even worse, Elspeth didn't know that the other breed of vampires did get to keep their souls – she thought that Lenore was possessed by a demon as well.
"Elspeth," she said nervously in a quiet voice. "It wasn't me, it was the hellhounds. And I'm still Lenore!"
"Lies!" Elspeth shouted angrily and before Lenore even realized it was happening her cousin summoned a ball of fire at Lenore. The flames tentatively licked her skin and then clung to her body as Lenore let out a scream of pain and used her own magic to extinguish them.
Elspeth stared at her in a mix of shock, dismay, and fear, but her next words were stated strongly. "Listen to me demon – you stay away from me and the children or next time you won't be able to put out the flames." Then she threw a glass vial at the floor that exploded and threw Lenore back several feet into the stove. She heard Elspeth climbing onto a horse and racing away, but Lenore wouldn't follow. Why should she? Elspeth was a powerful witch and she knew the true nature of vampires – they couldn't be trusted.
And after feeding off of her own brother, Lenore had to agree.
Eager to leave this house that stank of death behind, Lenore ran outside and just kept running until she reached the forest one mile away from the village. Then she slowed her pace and leaned against a tree. Her eyes were stony and her face was drawn – Lenore had no more tears left in her.
She was finally, utterly, truly alone in this world.
She wasn't sure how long she was there –many hours at least – but she could feel dawn approaching. No longer black, the sky in the east was now a dark blue and she began wondering what she should do about shelter for the coming day.
"I wondered how long it would take you to come back home," a cool voice stated softly.
Looking up towards the west Lenore saw Castiel standing there in his typical outfit of a green plaid kilt and light wool sweater. "Castiel!" she said happily. "I thought you had died! What happened?"
Castiel frowned and shuffled uncomfortably. "That spell expelled me back to heaven and the process to get back takes a while," he answered gruffly
Lenore bit her lip and took a step forward, then stopped herself. "Well, I'm glad you're okay," she said.
"Yes." His eyes faced downward as he averted her gaze. "I am sorry that you are not."
"Yeah," she sighed. "I really am not," she acknowledge sadly.
"I apologize that I could not protect you."
She gave the angel a soft smile. "It's okay. You did your best. The trouble with fate is you can't outrun it or outwit it. I guess this was meant to happen – at least I'll be able to see Willow now." Lenore's voice was soft but to be honest, after losing her brother to hell and having her mother-like cousin cut her off, she didn't even have much hope in seeing Willow anymore.
"I'm sorry, but you will not be able to do that."
Lenore glanced at the angel sharply and noticed that he actually looked sad, yet resigned, about his words. "Why? Why can't I see Willow?" she hurriedly asked with a voice that was pitched higher than normal.
"You are an abomination now, Eleanor Amelia McLeod. Someone of your talents must not be available for the side of evil." A sleek silver sword appeared in his hand and Lenore shrank back fearfully.
"B-but I don't want to kill anyone – I won't!" she protested as Castiel began to advance.
He looked at her sadly. "But you already have – Magdalene – and you will again. Tonight you displayed your weakness by feeding upon your dying brother. I am sorry Lenore, but you are an abomination. I must end you."
"No!" she screeched. No matter what happened or how she felt about things, Lenore knew that she didn't want to die.
A popping noise sounded behind her, she heard a surprised yelp, felt arms grabbing her around the waist, and suddenly Lenore felt herself yanked out of the village and into somewhere strange and new.
Thanks everyone for reading and reviewing!

From the Terri Schiavo controversy to the stem-cell debate to the conflict over intelligent design, 2005 was rife with contentious issues that portrayed religion and science as wholly separate and competing realms of thought and experience.
Two stories challenge that characterization. In each, religious belief has prompted empirical research, and empirical research has informed religious belief. More important, the creative interplay between religion and science helped to shape consensus among partisans on opposite sides of the debate.
The first story concerns Oregon's physician-assisted suicide law, which is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. The Catholic Church fought the 1994 ballot measure that put the law on the books, and once it took effect, the church prohibited its hospitals from providing lethal medication to terminally ill patients. But it did more than oppose the law. Catholic hospitals, including Providence Health System, the largest provider in Oregon, led the way in a movement for better end-of-life care, including more effective pain and symptom management, spiritual counseling, family support, and patient involvement in care decisions. (Subsequently, a national survey of nearly four thousand hospitals reported that Catholic hospitals were far ahead of other religious, for-profit, and publicly owned hospitals in providing advanced therapies for the terminally ill.)

Today, TiVo unleashed what may be its most compelling device yet, the Roamio OTA DVR. Aimed squarely at the cord-cutting crowd, the Roamio OTA captures and records free broadcast HD signals, bundling in a suite of streaming apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant, Hulu Plus, Pandora and Spotify. Best of all, the box is TiVo's most affordable ever, ringing up at just $50, with a $15/month subscription fee to get at all of TiVo's programming extras. There's just one catch: The Roamio OTA is a limited-edition product — at least for now — so if you want one, you'll need to act now, and you may have to do a bit of searching, as it will only be available at select Best Buy stores in select markets.
TiVo apparently isn't certain there's a big enough market for such a product, and, quite frankly, it has strong relationships with cable companies such as Comcast, so it probably isn't looking to single-handedly usher in a new generation of TV watchers. But with products such as the Tablo, Simple.TV, and Channel Master DVR+ on the market, it's easy to understand why TiVo might want to dip its toe in the cord-cutter pool. Simply put, no other OTA DVR solution offers anything close to the rich user experience TiVo has spent the past decade developing. Plus, TiVo has the manufacturing chops and tech patents to put these together with a modicum of effort. Why not give it a shot?
The OTA DVR sports four tuners and 500 GB of built-in storage for up to 75 hours of HD program recording. Need more? There's an eSATA port on the back to expand storage to whatever capacity the user likes. But perhaps more important than the hardware is TiVo's software which, among other attributes, allows users to search across multiple VOD platforms for various shows and movies — a huge plus for those not interested in browsing around for hours trying to figure out which service offers their favorite show.
Unfortunately, if you want the ability to stream your Roamio OTA recordings to a mobile device, you'll need to add the $130 TiVo stream, which not only transcodes recordings for streaming in or out of the home, but allows downloads for viewing when not connected to the Internet. The Roamio OTA is also compatible with the TiVo Mini for playback on other TV's in the home.
So far, this is the most comprehensive OTA DVR system we've seen. It seems a shame that TiVo seems a little non-committal, but if the public turns out in droves to pick this device up, it's likely we'll see it more broadly distributed in the very near future.
