Read an Excerpt
OneIt was already dark by the time I zoomed out of themountains, heading east toward the deserts and the town ofMagellan. The elevation dropped, the cool green of pinecountry fell behind, and the heat returned. Lightning forkedfar to the south, the approaching storm tingling through mybody like a lover's touch.
By the time I reached Winslow and glided through itstraffic lights, clouds had blotted out the stars, but still therewas no rain. I took the road under the railroad bridge at thesame time a freight train rumbled over it, then I headedsouth to open desert, my Harley throbbing in the quiet.
Fingers of lightning lit the clouds with intense white,and I lapped up the residue like a greedy cat. I'm a Stormwalker,which is my father's people's way of saying I canharness the power of storms for my own use. On a calmday, I can't work much more than simple spells, but put astorm near me, and I can make the wind, lightning, and raindance to my bidding. I'm good at it. Deadly.
Storm magic drove me crazy and left me more hungoverthan a three-day bender, but too long between storms hadthe same result. I hadn't tasted a storm in the two weekssince I'd moved to Magellan to investigate the disappearanceof Amy McGuire, the police chief's daughter. I neededa fix.
I took the turnoff that led to Magellan. The smudge ofthe small town's lights beckoned to me from twenty milesaway. The larger glitter of Flat Mesa, the county seat, laya little north. The red taillights of a pickup bobbed aheadof me as it dipped and rose through the washes. Half of theleft light was broken, giving the truck an uneven look. Noone else was on the road with us.
A sudden gust of wind threatened to knock me off mybike, and a voice floated on it across the dark desert.
I skidded to a halt, heart hammering, and dragged offmy helmet. Wind buffeted me, clouds flowing toward methick and fast.
Daughter. The whisper was feminine, soft, almost loving.
Oh, holy crap.
The other reason I'd come to Magellan was to face mymother and stop her, like I should have stopped her yearsago. But I'd been too young then, too scared. The invitationto investigate Amy's disappearance gave me the opportunityto return, and this time, I would fight her. As soon as Ifigured out how to.
Six years had passed since I'd met my mother in, of allplaces, a diner in Holbrook, where she'd scared the shit outof me. It was easy to convince myself that I was ready toconfront her while safe behind the heavily warded wallsof my new hotel, not so easy out here in open desert withthe vortexes beckoning to me. Here in the darkness, aloneunder this vast sky, I had to admit that she still scared theshit out of me.
Come to me.
"Like hell." When I'd met my mother, she'd done herbest to make me her willing slave, but I had this problemwith free will. I liked it.
"Not this time!" I shouted.
The whisper died on the wind as lightning flared. Theelectricity of it sparkled through my fingers and pingedacross my helmet.
The storm magic was earth magic, which I'd inheritedfrom my grandmother, a small Navajo woman who wasstronger than she looked. My mother came from Beneath,the same realm that created the skinwalkers, and I'd inheritedmagic from her too. My mother didn't much like earthmagic, because although earth magic had enabled me to beborn at all, it also made me strong enough to withstand her.
I put on my helmet, my fingers shaking, and glided onward.A curtain of rain washed over me, its sudden chillwelcome. I caught up to the pickup, whoever it was travelingslowly, and I realized that the encounter had taken onlya few short moments.
I pulled into the oncoming lane of the two-lane road topass the truck. Another sheet of lightning ran through thesky, reaching from the mesas to the south and spreading inall directions. It lit the clouds in cold, white radiance, andin that light I saw a giant figure burst from the side of theroad, heading directly for me.
I hit my brakes, cranking my bike sideways, trying desperatelyto avoid the impact. A horrible stench filled the airas the figure missed my front wheel and struck the pickupwith a resounding boom.
My back tire skidded out from under me on the rain-soakedpavement. At the same time, the pickup rose intothe air, almost in slow motion. It rotated once, twice, beforeit crashed to the pavement, landing on its cab. The pickupscreeched forward upside down a few yards, sparks flyinginto the night, before it lay still like a dead thing.
My bike kept skidding. I missed the truck by inches,was thrown free of the Harley, and landed facedown in arapidly filling ditch.
I lay unmoving in the wet dirt, the face shield of myhelmet cracked. My bike sprawled on its side next to me,front wheel bent, my legs just as bent under me.
No one moved inside the pickup. It was black dark outhere; I couldn't even discern the color of the truck. I couldstill smell the skinwalker, though, lurking in the darknessbeyond us. My mother could control the things, who thrivedon the energy of the vortexes, and she'd sent this one to disciplineme. Not kill me—I knew she didn't want me dead,just obedient. I wouldn't be useful to her if I were dead.
I struggled out of my helmet. My gloves had ripped,and blood slicked my grip. I unfolded myself painfully andclimbed to my feet, dragging in aching breaths.
I heard the skinwalker coming back. The legends of mypeople said that skinwalkers were human sorcerers whodabbled in dark magic, wrapping themselves in skins ofdead animals to take on that animal's characteristics. Trueabout the dead animals part, usually after they'd torturedthem, but skinwalkers weren't human. They were throwbacksto the previous shell world, the one Beneath, wheremy mother was a goddess. Skinwalkers were evils, like demons,that should never have made it through to this worldwith the rest of humanity. But they had, clawing their wayout and breeding down the generations.
It charged me. The thing was huge, about eight feet tall,wrapped, as far as I could tell, in the skin of a dead bear.Faster than fast, stinking like the worst charnel house, itpicked me up and slammed me down on the road again. Ihit and kicked, making no more of a dent than if I'd hit awall. It put its filthy face close to mine, lips pulling backfrom yellow teeth.
I screamed. Not that it would help. No one lived out here,and whoever had been in the pickup wasn't getting out.
The storm answered me. Thunder cracked in the distance,and I reached desperately for the lightning. I couldn'tcreate storms or move them; I could only use what naturedecided to give me, but if the storm was close enough . . .
Lightning flowed from the black cloud and into my outstretchedhands. I exhaled in relief. It wasn't very strong,the storm still too far away, but it would help. I gatheredwhat lightning I could and threw it at the skinwalker. Theskinwalker grunted with the impact and danced back a yardor so, but that was about all I could manage. I scrambledto my feet.
Skinwalkers are damn hard to kill. This one was shamblingtoward me again. I reached for the wind and raisedmy hands to direct it at the disgusting thing. The skinwalkerstumbled. I hit it again and again with wind power, throwingsparks of lightning into the mix.
The skinwalker ran at me again, bent on destruction. Ididn't think my mother wanted it to kill me, but did it knowthat?
The creature made it back to the road. Instead of pummelingme, it turned and kicked my bike.
"No!" I shouted. That bike was my baby. This old girland me had racked up a lot of miles. She symbolized myfreedom, my independence, me. I grabbed a handful oflightning and blasted the skinwalker. Electricity arcedaround him, but he still didn't die.
At times like these, I regretted riding away from Mick,my man of wild fire magic. I'd seen Mick burn up a skinwalkerwithout breaking a sweat. Mick had made me crazywith his mixture of bad-boy charm, protectiveness, andelusiveness, but my time with him had also been the bestof my life.
Before we'd parted ways, Mick had given me six lightspells locked into little silver balls. I had one in my pocketnow, the last of the remaining two. The balls, when activated,radiated a white light that drove away every shadow—temporarily. They had no heat, only light, but they wereuseful in emergencies, against skinwalkers or demons orNightwalkers, creatures that shunned the light.
The electricity ebbed, the storm diminishing. The skinwalkercame at me, a murderous look in its red eyes.
The situation definitely qualified as an emergency. I duginto my pocket, digging out the spell that was about thesize of a ball bearing. It didn't take much magic to activatethem, which meant I could use them whether I had a handystorm or not.
The skinwalker loomed over me, huge fists ready tocrush me. I lifted the spell ball, but before I could call it tolife, the skinwalker gave a sudden cry of anguish. A bluenimbus sprang up to surround it, one not created by me. Theskinwalker fought it, trying to beat its way out, while I stoodwith my palm outstretched, watching in astonishment.
The skinwalker ran off into the darkness, still surroundedwith glowing blue, until it was lost to sight. I blewout my breath in sudden relief and returned the spell ballto my pocket.
The stench receded, a sure sign the thing had gone. HadMama called off her pet? Or had some other entity interfered?I didn't know, and at the moment, I didn't care.
I limped toward the pickup. The next burst of lightningrevealed a dusty red truck that looked familiar, and myheart sank as I read the words on the now upside-downdoor. "Fremont Hansen, Install and Fix-It."
"Shit," I whispered. Fremont was the plumber I'd hiredto help me restore the derelict hotel I'd bought on the outskirts of Magellan. He was a friendly guy with a recedinghairline and innocent brown eyes, who claimed to have alittle magical ability of his own. "I can fix anything," he'dboasted, wriggling his fingers.
I closed my bloody hand around my cell phone, but thefall had smashed it. Plastic shards stuck to my fingers, andthe battery dangled from useless wires.
I tossed the phone aside and crouched on the road nextto the pickup's cab. Blood coated the inside of the driver'swindow, and I saw a head pressed against it.
"Fremont." I tried the door, but I couldn't budge it. Ihobbled around to the other side of the truck, my leg hurtinglike hell. The passenger window was open. I saw no gleamingpebbles of glass, so the window must have already beenopen before the wreck. The man lay in the blackness inside,upside down, neck bent unnaturally.
I fumbled in the debris inside the truck and found no cellphone, and the frame was too crimped for me to open theglove compartment. I withdrew, my nose wrinkling withthe stench of death.
Another flash of lightning lit the sky, farther to the east,the storm moving on. The lightning died, and red and bluelights took its place, accompanied by the wail of a siren. Isat down, exhausted, my back against the pickup, as a vehiclecame charging toward me, headlights blinding.
An SUV with "Hopi County Sheriff's Department"painted on its side stopped a few feet from me, its tiressliding a little on the wet pavement. The door popped open,and booted feet hit the asphalt, followed by sharply creasedkhaki pants. The boots were polished to a sheen, strangefor a man who worked in the dusty desert all day.
Nash Jones, sheriff of tiny Hopi County, squatted downnext to me, regarding me with eyes ice gray in the glare ofhis headlights. Blearily I heard another truck pull up andmore boots crunch on dirt and pavement.
"Janet Begay." Nash's voice was flat and hard. He didn'tlike me. When I first arrived in Magellan, I'd tried to talk tohim about Amy McGuire, and he'd shut me down before I'ddone more than introduce myself. Amy McGuire had beenhis fiancée. Jones had hated me before he'd even met me.
He turned on a pinpoint flashlight and trained the lightright into my eyes. "You all right?"
"I'm alive," I croaked.
"You ran into him with your motorcycle." His voice heldno sympathy. "The impact flipped the truck. Am I right?"
"Something hit him. Not me."
He didn't believe me. "Can you get up? Do you needthe paramedics?"
"I think I'm okay."
Nash didn't believe that either. A woman in a blackcoverall came over at his signal, and she helped me stand.Nash abandoned me while the woman got me to the backof a paramedics truck and cleaned the blood off my hands.She checked me over, took my blood pressure, felt mylimbs for breaks, asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital.I said no but asked her for a lift into town, my motorcyclewheel bent like it was. She agreed but said she had to waitfor the sheriff's okay.
I felt hollow inside. Fremont was dead in that truck.Dead because a skinwalker sent by my evil goddess motherhad missed me and hit him.
Nash Jones and his deputies surveyed the accident andstarted cutting the body out of the truck. I sat there sickand miserable. The storm was dying, leaving me drainedand sick as usual. I really wanted some coffee. Or a stiffdrink. I was a lightweight drunk, so I never drank much,but tonight I'd make an exception.
Nash returned and beckoned with a curt gesture. "Begay.Come with me."
Probably the only reason he didn't manhandle me wasbecause the paramedics woman might get mad at him.
Nash Jones had made it clear as soon as I arrived in Magellanthat he resented the hell out of my presence and the factthat Chief McGuire had asked me here. Nash had neverbeen officially charged regarding Amy's disappearance, buthe'd been questioned as a suspect, and the talk on the streetwas that no one knew for sure. The things Chief McGuirehad told me about Sheriff Jones were . . . interesting.Nash didn't touch me, but he made me hobble in front ofhim to his SUV. He opened the back door. "Get in."
"Why? The nice lady with the blood pressure cuff isgiving me a ride home."
"I'm taking you to the sheriff's office. For reckless driving,possible manslaughter."
"You are kidding, aren't you?"
"I don't kid."
Jones could glare. He had gray eyes that could turn onyou with the intensity of a supernova, black hair cut in themilitary style he'd brought back from his army time in Iraq,and a hard, handsome face. I'd seen women in Magellanand Flat Mesa turn their heads to watch him go by, hislooks marred only by a scar on his upper lip.
"There's something out there," I said. "It hit Fremont'struck, hard enough to flip it. It ran off, but the storm's dying,and it could come back anytime. It can tear this SUVapart like a paper bag if it wants to. Skinwalkers are friggingstrong."
He answered me with a flat stare. Nash Jones was anUnbeliever, one of those people who didn't buy the fact thatMagellan was built near a mystical confluence of vortexes,where the paranormal was normal. He'd grown up herebut derided those who made money from the tourists whoflocked to Hopi County in pursuit of the supernatural.
"Get in before I throw your ass in."
"Were you like this in the army? Not believing anyonewho warned you of danger?"
"There I was with trained men. You're a Navajo girlfrom a sheep farm. Get in the damn truck."
"It killed Fremont, easy as anything." I was close to hystericaltears. I liked gossipy, quirky Fremont.
"It's not Fremont."
I looked at him in shock. "What?"
"It's his assistant. Charlie Jones."
I'd seen Charlie helping Fremont work on my hotel'splumbing, a quiet, kind of scruffy kid in his late teens who'dkept to himself. I'd known his first name was Charlie, butthat was about it.
"Jones?" I repeated.
"My fourth cousin."
"Oh, Nash, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Nash gripped me under the elbow and all but threw meinto the backseat. "Stay there."
He slammed the door and clicked a remote, and the locksengaged. As I suspected, the windows wouldn't roll downfor the prisoner in the back, and a black grill separated backfrom front, with another one blocking me from the storagespace to the rear. I decided to be thankful that Nash hadn'thandcuffed me.
I slumped down in the seat, but I knew I couldn't hide.If the skinwalker wanted to find me again, it would. I didn'tsense it nearby, though. The flashing emergency lights andactivity might be keeping it away. Skinwalkers didn't likelight, noise, crowds. That didn't mean it wouldn't rise outof the desert and attack again when Nash drove me away.
I also worried about my bike. Would Nash leave it bythe side of the road like a mangled toy? I could imaginehim doing that, sending impound to retrieve it when he feltlike it.
I didn't have much in the way of possessions, feelingfreer without them, but that Harley was important to me.I'd ridden her across this country and down into Mexico,first on my own, then with Mick, then alone again, whenI'd finally left him five years ago.
The bike represented my means of escape. No matterhow many roots I put down or how much trouble I got into,I could always throw a change of clothes into my saddlebags,swing my leg over my Harley, and disappear into thenight.
I saw the poor thing in the flicker of police flares, thewheel bent, the handlebars sticking up forlornly. It was amachine, a piece of metal, I told myself, but it was likelooking at the twisted body of my own child.
When Nash finally opened the driver's door, I smelledno stench of skinwalker on the night. I inhaled, tasting theozone tingle of the storm. I toyed with the idea of snatchingthe lightning's power and zapping Nash with it, but thatwould make me no better than the skinwalker. Hurting forthe fun of it. I shuddered.
"Should I consider myself under arrest?" I asked.
Nash slammed the door and put on his seat belt. "Beingtaken in for questioning."
"My bike?"
"Deputies are impounding it. It's evidence."
"Damn you, Jones. I didn't run into that truck."
"Save it." He put the SUV in gear and pulled out past theflipped pickup as the deputies lifted my Harley and tossedit carelessly into the back of their truck.
Nash didn't turn on his emergency lights, but he gunnedthe SUV and roared down the highway. Ten miles along,the road ended in a T-intersection, another narrow highwayheading north to Flat Mesa, the other south to Magellan. Myhotel stood here, at the Crossroads, a dark, forlorn squareagainst the darker sky. The Crossroads Bar, which shareda parking lot with the hotel, was lit and swarming withpeople.
I gazed longingly at the hotel, picturing my bedroomin the back with its waiting bed and bathroom, even if thewater didn't work yet. That hotel was my haven, my defiance if you like.
Nash turned left, passing the hotel without stopping,and drove north toward Flat Mesa.

Janet Begay, a Navajo Stormwalker through her father's family, is able to command the power of storms though powerful magic. She is also half-goddess, thanks to her estranged mother, a goddess herself trapped in the mystical realm of Beneath. Janet travels to the Southwestern town of Magellan to investigate the disappearance of the police chief's daughter. Magellan is located near several vortexes, gateways to the world of Beneath. Janet suspects her mother may be involved in the young woman's disappearance, as she will stop at nothing to find the key to open a vortex and escape from Beneath. Shortly after arriving in Magellan, Janet's mysterious ex-boyfriend Mick shows up in town, someone she hasn't seen in five years. Mick also possesses supernatural power, though Janet is unsure of what type of magical being he is, and he will tell her very little about himself. Janet knows that Mick can brandish fire without getting burned, and he is unaffected by her storm power. But what does he really want with her? Can she trust him to stand by her during the biggest battle of her life? Wow! I've been waiting for this book's release since I read the prequel A Little Night Magic in the anthology Hot for the Holidays. It was well worth the wait. Stormwalker was a page-turner! It was an action-packed urban fantasy, sexy paranormal romance and mystery/suspense all in one story. The plot is full of twists and turns, and you're never quite sure who's on the side of good or evil. The author has created a cast of fascinating characters - from a trickster god that changes from man to coyote to a bi-sexual talking magic mirror! I loved the first-person perspective of Janet Begay. She is an engaging heroine who had me fighting, cringing, laughing and crying along with her. She's the first character in a long time who could rival Sookie Stackhouse (Southern Vampires Series)! Any fan of urban fantasy or paranormal romance would enjoy this story.
I gave Stormwalker such a low rating for a few reasons. First of all, four chapters of info dump. I had to force - F-O-R-C-E myself to read through them because a) it's a book club book and b) a friend had already read it and said it was fantastic. Second of all, my issues with the main character. I know that these are both reasons why I rated this book like I did, and with that said, I can also understand why people would like this book. There are large expanses of it written well with engaging material and exciting 'stuff' going on - for me though, I couldn't forget either point a or point b. The Setting -- is a small town, in the middle of the desert in Arizona. There's not much detail given to the setting through the narrative except to depict it with a few, sparse words here and there. Usually it's to remark about the heat or the presence of a storm - which from the title you can denote is a fairly important aspect of the story. I thought that there was more of the beauty and misery of the desert could have been brought out to make the setting seem more alive. For an area that is supposed to be alive with energy and magic, I thought it could have come through more vividly. The Characters -- are going to get a bashing and a lot of loving from me. First off, there is Janet, the Stormwalker, who is an idiot. Okay, she's not a flat out idiot, and I know my distaste for her stems from my own biases to do with women who intentionally stay in bad relationships. Yes, her relationship-in-question turns out to be a good thing, but ladies, if a guy is bad for you - he's bad for you and you need to get out. Not romanticize what he might be and stick it out. You get out, suck up the losses, and move on. For a big chunk of the book I had to talk myself into reading it because I simply got very frusterated with her. I'll be honest and say that I finished the book because of Mick; the love interest. I will not give up the big surprise about him, but he made the book worth reading - for me. I thought that after reading one of the reveals about him that he could have come across as experiencing things more in relation to his true nature, but I still like him. He's what you want in a hunky hero. He has something dark in his past that makes it difficult on him, he's protective, he's sexy, he has this awesome power and he's the only person Janet can be around and not hurt. You can't help but love Mick for what he sacrifices and how you see him grow, or at least get the revelations of how much he's changed. Besides these two, there are other characters, like Coyote and Nash that make the story vivid. While I don't necessarily like all of these characters, they contribute to a very interesting cast of characters. The Plot -- was overall, straight forward. You went into it knowing that the big end game was. There was a caviate for what brought it about that's rather anticlimatically unfolded. The most interesting bits to me were the action parts when Janet was attacked or used her powers, and those concerning Mick. I liked the way the book ended and I'd be tempted to read Firewalker for Mick alone.
I think this book has the bones for a really good series. I really liked the main character Janet and to be honest was a little hesitant to read this after reading the other reviews. I got to say they are being a little nit picky this is a good book. Mick seems so sexy and mysterious to me I hope to find out more about him. All the characters in this book were interesting and that's why I think this series will do well, because I have an invested interest in all of them and can't wait to see how it all pans out. I'm looking forward to Firewalker. Keep an eye on this series I think its going to be a good one.
I had a lot of fun reading Stormwalker. I normally don't pick up paranormal romances, because I'm not usually in the mood to read a lot of sex, but even though there was a few sex scenes in this book, I didn't find myself rolling my eyes, or thinking "oh gag" due to overly mushy or purple prose. Which is refreshing, because sometimes, even in an urban fantasy (which I would expect to have pure adventure with maybe a bit of sexual tension, not a lot) where you are dealing with kick-ass women, sometimes you get some very mushy, way too tender scenes that don't fit in (well, to me they don't fit in). I'm just over the that, if I want romance, I look for a romance book. ANYWAY - that's why I usually don't pick up a paranormal romance, but I have to say that this book didn't seem to follow that paranormal romance formula (THANK god). This is about Janet Begay - who is a stormwalker. She can pull power from storms and use the power as magic. She also has a bit of a problem - she has two types of power battling inside her. Her grandmother is a Navajo magic woman. Her mother a mysterious figure. She grew up on Navajo land, with her father's family feeling like an outcast (ME TOO! not a Navajo, but I felt different than the rest of my family) She has quite a past....and quite a boyfriend from the past that shows up. He is the only person that could "siphon off' her excess energy after using storm magic, and the only time she didn't feel a horrible hangover is when her boyfriend Mick used her excess energy. In this novel, Janet has come to a small town to look for a missing daughter of the police chief. She has also bought an old abandoned hotel and is trying to renovate it to keep busy and have a place to stay. While she is dealing with finding a person who has been missing for a year, and trying to renovate a motel she has to deal with some hostile people (the missing girl's fiancee, who also happens to be sheriff), a coyote trickster, a snarky magic mirror (I want one) and her own magic mother who is making her presence known. I enjoyed the narration and the dialogue of this novel. There's one electrician that's been hired that just hates Janet, and yet Janet tries to make friends with her in a snarky way. The sheriff is a by-the-book sheriff that harasses Janet as much as he can, within the law. Mick - her ex-boyfriend shows up and refuses to leave, because he wants to protect Janet and Janet can't seem to force the issue. All of this could have been a melodramatic mess, but Allyson James works it in such a way it seemed to work well together. There were also bits and pieces of Navajo customs that were interesting to read - tidbits about characters of Navajo people and some of the rituals. I would have liked to read more about that, but it might have turned into a textbook. There is a sequel (Firewalker) releasing in November, so hopefully there will continue to be bits and pieces of the Navajo culture woven into that book as well. The main character and a lot of the other characters were Navajo or Mexican, which reflects more accurately the world I live in - which is nice to have in books. I wished the cover model of the book looked more Navajo. She has the dark eyes, and looks like she might have olive toned skin, but it's hard to tell. There are lots of clouds and lightening and an odd tint to the woman, possibly depicting evening, but the woman is not obviously Navajo, other than the silver band on her bi
Everyone spends a part of their life fighting off the demons that chase us. In the case of Janet Begay, a Stormwalker who has the ability to call the power of any storm and bend it to her will, that is a literal statement with actual demons chasing her down and trying to kill her. Janet's mother is the evil Goddess of the Beneath who is trying to convince Janet to join her in ruling the dark side of the underworld and taking over the planet. What Janet's mother needs is a body to serve as her vessel to rise from the Beneath and she sees opportunity in Janet's body and mind. But Janet knows she is key to whatever her mother is up to and fighting off everything that comes her way is not always easy and when she goes home because being that close to the mystical energy of the vortex from where her mother rules is dangerous but has to be done. Janet did not turn out to be the daughter of her mother's nightmare and running from the past has worn Janet down and now she has come home to face the demons literally and rid herself of their controlling influence knowing full well it may mean losing her own life. But trouble seems to come along for any ride Janet takes and before she has dusted her boots off she finds herself in jail and squaring off with the local sheriff, Nash Jones who is none too pleased to have her in his town. Janet is there to solve the disappearance of the sheriff's fiancé who one day never came home. He is part of a group of non-believers in all things mystical and believes if he the sheriff could not find her she is dead and he does not want anyone stirring up bad memories. But Janet is a master of stirring up all kinds of bad things and this is one mystery she will solve, once she gets out of jail. While she is there Janet also decides to reopen a hotel and renovate it to its former glory - what the heck it gives her something to do between demon fights and working out the issues with her boyfriend Mick who refuses to answer any questions with a straight answer. How is it possible she knows this man's body so intimately but not his last name? She knows he has magic and supernatural abilities but he refuses to give her a real reason for anything. There is so much trying to stop her and few helping that when even a coyote turns out to be on her side she says okay to his help. But some truths are revealed that even Janet discovers she didn't want to know about and tries her best to reconcile fact from fiction and fight to keep both feet planted in reality. Wow what a great book this is. The action never stops, the characters are so believable you feel they might be your neighbors, the romance is over the top hot and storyline is scary enough to make you not want to stop reading until you figure everything out - which you never really do because there is more books in the series...

Action packed enjoyable fast read.
I could not place this book down. I enjoyed the storyline so much that I can't wait to get to the next book.
I'm hooked on Janet! What a great series! Always something going on!
Great beginning to a wonderful new series. I love this author and I look forward to reading more. I highly recommend this book.
Awsome series. Adicting
Unoriginal, that is one word to sum it up. It was such an exciting read. The best thing about this was that you never knew what was going to happen and the author does such a great job of keeping things exciting. Every page was a page turner to see what would happen next. Each character had their own excitement and secret. Allyson did a great job of creating a world of hidden creatures, from demons, skinwalkers, dragons, witches and unworldly Gods. I like that the main character Janet, was a strong female character with her head on her shoulders. She is not the damsel in distress who needs to be saved on every page. I am very excited to continue the series with "Firewalker", which is about Mick. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
This is a Great series, I have loved them all....
Good series for those who enjoy the paranormal and romance. You have a half godess and half elemental witch. She is in a relationship with a dragon but the relationship is not easy. The series has gods, goddesses. Dragons, and shifters . It is set in a native American theme and she does give some history to help paint the picture for the setting. I realy enjoyed this series and look forward to any future releases.
Previously only read shorts by this author but was intrigued enough by what I knew to get and read this story. Loved the characters, the graphic landscape the author builds. You can see it all. Allyson James' story telling is powerful, fast paced, and natural. Loved this one enough to get the next two in the series. I will be adding Allyson James to my must read author list.
Book description on this site accurate. The most accurate review I can give this book is that I am now immediately starting the followup, Firewalker. Some of the other reviews seem to really rant or rave; I didn't get the extreme reactions after reading this book. I liked the odder mix of paranormal/spiritual/mythological blend in the worldbuilding of this book, not the same old stuff you find in the genre -- but, not completely 100% unique if you are at all familiar with some of the more popular Native American beliefs/legends that have also run through some other paranormal series (while in no way derivative, Mercy Thompson books come easily to mind because of coyote and skinwalker references). Caught up immediately in action/storyline. Very clearly set in American southwest (Arizona) and very much a modern day setting versus completely in a fantasy world or a modern/futuristic society with a lot of new stuff; one brief trip into realm of her mother. Would have rated another star if characters were a little more fleshed out; main character is one you root for and needs just a little more depth; love interests and other characters tantalizingly interesting but need more as well (the macho sherriff and chip-on-shoulder local hispanic girl a bit too stereotypical for me) -- with an urban-fantasy, modern-day setting the characters or worldbuilding or something needs just a little bit more to get a 4 star from me; the story/action really kept my interest so I enjoyed and will read further in series and by author. I put in paranormal and in urban fantasy genres (for being modern world) but no real "urban" to it, strictly small town and not as "light" toned as most paranormal romance..
I didn't really care for the style of writing but the story itself was interesting and kept me reading.
I really enjoyed this book. The whole series has been extremely clever with interesting twists on the shapeshifter/vampire theme. I can't wait for the next one.
These books are really good. I can't wait for the next one. How lucky she is to have Mick. Wow. I also really like the Highland Pleasures series she writes as Jennifer Ashley. Check them out too if you like that genre. If you want an exciting paranormal fantasy series this is the one!

Trend Micro Posts Net Sales Record
Trend Micro officials tout the company's in-the-cloud strategy and the acquisition of Provilla.Officials at Trend Micro reported a strong end to 2007 in the company's earnings report Feb. 14. The Tokyo-based security vendor posted a record $231 million in net sales in the fourth quarter, officials said. In yen, that figure represents a 13 percent year-over-year increase, and a 6 percent jump from the third quarter. The growth in sales was driven largely by sales to businesses, with enterprises and small and midsize businesses contributing to 74 percent of Trend Micro's revenue. The consumer business made up the remaining 26 percent.
Trend Micro CEO Eva Chen credited the company's financial success in a large part to its strategy of pushing security into the cloud and its focus on stopping data leaks.
Click here to read more about Trend Micro's acquisition of Provilla.As part of its security-in-the-cloud focus, Trend Micro launched an SAAS offering and a Web site reputation service dubbed TrendProtect. The growth in Trend Micro's business mirrors reports of increases in the security business of its two biggest rivals, McAfee and Symantec. Trend Micro made a major acquisition in the DLP (data loss prevention) space, buying Provilla for an undisclosed sum. Other relatively recent acquisitions in the DLP market include Symantec's purchase of Vontu, McAfee's acquisition of encryption vendor SafeBoot and Websense's purchase of Port Authority Technologies for $90 million. Trend Micro rebranded Provilla's flagship data leak prevention product suite as Trend Micro LeakProof 3.0 in December, baking in interactive endpoint alerts that IT administrators can customize to educate their companies' work forces.

Are there any issues with the clutch in the new Mahindra XUV500?
By: Gurgeet on 26 may 2016
1 Answers:
Mahindra has improved tonnes in the recent years and with this the common issues like clutch etc. have really been worked upon and rectified. Same is the case with the Mahindra XUV500 clutch. It no longer has the issues that had risen in the year 2012-2013. The company had replaced all the defective clutches even then with new plates. With these changes, XUV500 has started rising the popularity charts. You shouldn't worry and go ahead with this purchase and enjoy the drive to the fullest.

Mercury Mariner ProblemsKnock/Pop Noise from the Steering Column when Turning
Looseness in the steering shaft and steering shaft coupling U-joint can cause a knocking / popping noise from the steering column when turning. The steering shaft and coupling U-joint will need to be replaced.
If the transmission oil leaks out of left side half shaft area, it may be from a worn axle shaft seal. The seal can be damaged by a poor surface finish on the axle shaft. The axle shaft and seal should be replaced to correct the problem.
The check engine light may come on due to failure of the Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) solenoids. The VCT solenoids will need to be replaced if they are the reason the check engine light came on.

BradPlays posted a topic in VideosJust put together a quick tutorial to show you how I fixed my memory errors whilst loading. So as I was trying to load into the server the other night I had about 20-30 memory errors in a row and I was f~@$ing screwing! So I sought out a fix ! and here it is, this worked for me! it may or may not work for you but its worth a try
eraser1 posted a topic in ScriptsDo you want to spawn weapons with attachments, but are annoyed by the trader attachment "dupe"? Well, you can paste this script in your init to work around it! What this script does is that it checks to see if the player's weapons (both primary and handgun) spawn with attachments by default. If it does detect that they have those attachments by default, then it will 1) Find a replacement by checking the parent classes of the weapon (which usually contain the "stock" weapon version, at least for vanilla ArmA 3 weapons. I haven't tried any modded weapons yet) 2) If a suitable replacement is found, it will then save the configuration of the weapon (which attachments it has, what magazine and how many bullets are in the mag). 3) Remove the original weapon, and add the replacement. 4) Re-add the attachments that were on the original weapon, including magazines, with the correct amount of bullet. The script will replace GL ammo as well, again with the correct # of rounds (if using a 3GL). 5) In the event that the replacement weapon got loaded with extra magazines from the player's inventory, then those magazines will also be re-added to the inventory (again, with correct # of rounds, even with a GL). The player shouldn't notice that anything has happened, and at most the script might disrupt an animation, and it might move a magazine or two around (I could ensure that the magazines are kept identical, but I think it's pretty minor and hardly worth the effort). Other than that, I can't guarantee that it will work on any modded weapons, that's for you to test out. INSTRUCTIONS: Paste the script directly in the mission file after line 8, where it says "if (!hasInterface || isServer) exitWith {};" will automatically add it to the Exile thread system on a 30 second delay. The delay can be adjusted at the top. Edit the "ExileServer_system_process_preInit.sqf" in the "exile_server\code\" folder: Comment out line 21: //call ExileServer_system_process_noobFilter; This script will work just as fine in any other mod, or even in vanilla (if you take out the Exile thread system part ) in case you have any use for that. Leave any questions/concerns/issues below!

SpiRe posted a question in ServersideIf you are a player and you server having these issues contact your administrator to check this post. If you are server administrator/owner please read bellow. "You are not in your territory" building problems. Mostlikely you forgot to update your mission config.cpp file It should contain this: Lootspawn - mostlikely you forgot to update your exile_server_config / config.cpp It should contain this: if not you forgot to update your configs. This topic is for people to realize that they made a mistake somewhere and give them a headstart. If you dont declare some variable in these settings it will break your server and you will see problems depending on what you missed in your settings. Also if you use some outdated fixes from old patch you can have the same/similar problems.
Kayne711 posted a question in ServersideSo i've made a new Exile Server which is running on a customized Altis map which was converted to Esseker. Before I added more mods to the server, vehicles were spawning around the map as usual. Now after I added all the mods and everything works, but now no vehicles spawn on the map, the only vehicles that spawn on the map are Old Bikes, and Mountain Bikes and those only spawn around the spawn zones. I'm not sure where to look or even start looking to fix the problem. Cars spawn with my AI Missions though, just not sure why they won't spawn on the map anymore. The mods I am using are:AllInArmaTerrainPack, Esseker, Exile, ExileServer, InfiSTAR_Exile, RyanZombies, Defents Mission System and R3F Logistics. All are up to date and installed correctly.
Imperius-MA posted a question in ClientsideHello everyone, Since day 1 I begin playing exile there was a problem with the numbers on my HUD. They simply just don't show the hole number. For exemple: When you adjust the zeroing of your weapon it should show a number like 300 in the HUD, right ? Mine just show 00. He cuts the first number. this happen with altitude when flying and thirsty too... This pic should explain it better. I have tried everything to fix it, but nothing seems to work, anybody have a solution to this ? its getting kind of annoying. Thanks for the help ^^ Sorry for my bad english, I'm brazillian.
TheHound posted a question in ServersideWasn't sure where else to put this guys, anyways I found the reason random spawn positions weren't working inside the spawn position markers. Line 18 of Exileserver_object_player_createBambi.sqf needs to be changed to _spawnAreaRadius = getNumber(configFile >> "CfgSettings" >> "BambiSettings" >> "spawnZoneRadius");Hopefully this will make it into the next server file update, also wasn't really sure where else to put bug fixes.
eraser1 posted a topic in ConfigurationHave you had a player get kicked while riding in a helicopter, only to spawn falling to his death? Or maybe the server crashed, and the player was in a heli. In any case, it ends the same way: "ADMIN, I spawned in the air and fell to my death". The easy "fix" would be to spawn everybody at ground level, but there are several "Side Effects" to that. As a result, I edited "ExileServer_object_player_database_load" so that players will always spawn on the highest solid surface on login. That can be the ground, a building, or a base. No more falling to your death. How to install: Replace "exile_server\code\ExileServer_object_player_database_load.sqf" with this pastebin or copy from the following spoiler:
FordDefect posted a question in ClientsideSometimes you can't sell an item in the trader dialog, its not dependent on the item but its slot position and that position can be random also. I have narrowed the problem to ExileClient_gui_traderDialog_updateInventoryListBox.sqf ~ lines 100-110 if (_salesPrice > 0) then { //this the error? should it be _indexEntryIndex instead of _salesPrice //_inventoryListBox lbSetValue [_salesPrice, -1]; _inventoryListBox lbSetValue [_indexEntryIndex, _salesPrice]; _inventoryListBox lbSetTextRight [_indexEntryIndex, format["%1", _salesPrice]]; _inventoryListBox lbSetPictureRight [_indexEntryIndex, "exile_client\texture\ui\poptab_trader_ca.paa"]; } Making this change had resolved that intermittent bug I was getting. I could be wrong as i've just started scripting ("though not stranger to programming") but I assume you wanted to set the index value to saleprice rather than set index reference by saleprice as -1;

A fan-fiction take on the legendary series!
Over There
Full length clay animation from Dustball and gel!
It's like a party in your mouth!
It's Ok...
Now, this is an unbiased opinion, since I haven't watched Saladfingers. This is a pretty good game, but it is sort of generic, since there have been a lot of these drop and catch games. The guys that walk across the bottom become hard to avoid when they come in pairs. It's not impossible, but it's extremely hard to do so without taking a hit. But otherwise, nice game. ^_^
Any way, this was a fun game with good interaction.
Good stuff.
it's a lot better than the cartoon but that game style is over played
Pretty Good
It wasent the best thing in the world but if i were you i would add more bad and good things. But anyway good job.
It wasnt great...
Ok, it had salad fingers in it(by the way, you spelled it wrong) but other than that, it wasnt a great game.
Jump, dodge, collect games arnt fun anymore but nice try anyway, at least you got front page, with your FIRST submission.

Even Apple's
ABI Research data finds that the iPhone claimed a 16.6% slice of the global smartphone market during the holiday quarter, a sequential dip from the 18.1% it notched during the third quarter.
This sounds grim, at first. Apple's latest resurgence has been triggered by the wild popularity of its wireless devices. If the iPhone has peaked in popularity, it comes at a lousy time, with the iPad -- essentially a larger iPhone, though technically closer to an iPod touch on growth hormones -- set to hit the market next month.
In a Wall Street Journal blog entry, an analyst from the research firm compared the iPhone to Motorola's
I don't buy it -- and not just because I upgraded my 2G iPhone in December.
"The last time the iPhone took a dip in market share was in the fourth quarter of 2008," notes the blog entry.
Wait a minute! Clear the shovels and open the casket. This isn't the iPhone dying. This is just a case of seasonality.
It makes perfect sense. Apple has updated its phones every summer, so naturally they're going to be hot sellers during the calendar year's third quarter. Early adopters jumped on the 3GS this past summer, just as the iPhone 3G served as their trampoline a summer earlier. Comparing iPhone market share sequentially doesn't make sense, especially with its rivals typically flooding the market just before the holidays.
Strategy Analytics -- another data tracker -- pegged Apple's slice of the smartphone market at a mere 10.8% last year. In other words, let's not bury the iPhone until we see year-over-year weakness.
Killing the iPhone prematurely would be stupid.
There is a glut of product out there. Research In Motion
This is a market that will intensify. Microsoft

The process of injection of a magnetic domain wall (DW) by means of a 25-100 ns current pulse flowing through an adjacent conductive track has been studied in detail. We find that the probability of creating a DW through this method is 100% for a wide range of amplitudes of the current pulse and of the external magnetic field, including zero external magnetic field. Micromagnetic simulations show that the DW is created in the first nanosecond of the pulse, and its movement is strongly influenced by the induced Oersted field, which can reach considerable values, especially in the perpendicular-to-plane direction. The edge roughness and temperature play also a crucial role in determining the type of DW that travels through the wire. Experimentally we show that a map of the probability of injection of a DW by a current pulse can be a very powerful method to check the structural quality of the nanostripe, which has very important practical consequences for research in this area. © 2011 American Physical Society.

In this paper, a procedure of decomposition of nonlinearly filtered sequences in primary characteristic sequences has been introduced. Such a procedure allows one to analyze structural properties of the filtered sequences e.g. period and linear complexity, which are essential features for their possible application in cryptography. As a consequence of the previous decomposition, a simple constructive method that enlarges the number of known filtered sequences with guaranteed cryptographic parameters has been developed. The procedure here introduced does not impose any constraint on the characteristics of the nonlinear filter. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. Source

This study explores experimentally the stochastic nature of the domain wall depinning in permalloy nanowires using notches of various shapes and depths. The presence of the domain wall in the notch is detected through its anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), which is measured with high precision in order to detect even small changes in the domain wall profile. These measurements showed that variations in the depinning field are related with changes, sometimes very small, in the AMR profile, which indicates that small changes in the pinned domain wall profile can affect largely the depinning process. As these small changes are many times unpredictable and uncontrollable, the stochastic nature of the depinning could have negative consequences for practical applications based on permalloy nanowires. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

In this paper, a method of obtaining cryptographic sequences based on discrete time chaotic dynamical systems is presented. The importance of the proposal is due to that such cryptographic sequences are also output sequences of a nonlinear keystream generator known as generalized self-shrinking generator, which is still considered secure for symmetric cryptography. It is remarkable that the linearity of the proposed chaotic model based on additive one-dimensional cellular automata might be used to launch a cryptanalysis against such nonlinear generators. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Diffeomorphism-invariant covariant Hamiltonians of a pseudo-Riemannian metric and a linear connection

Let M → N (resp. C → N) be the fibre bundle of pseudo-Riemannian metrics of a given signature (resp. the bundle of linear connections) on an orientable connected manifold N. A geometrically defined class of firstorder Ehresmann connections on the product fibre bundle M × N C is determined such that, for every connection γ belonging to this class and every DiffN-invariant Lagrangian density Λ on J1(M × N C), the corresponding covariant Hamiltonian Λγ is also DiffN-invariant. The case of DiffN-invariant second-order Lagrangian densities on J2M is also studied and the results obtained are then applied to Palatini and Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangians. © 2012 International Press.

Watching Jeremy, Watching Me, Watching Jeremy (2016)
Posted in Art and illustration, Video and audio on 4 August 2016| 1 Comment »
Editor: Although Rodrigo Firmino's long running Panopticam project has stopped working, this is worth knowing about.
Watching Jeremy, Watching Me, Watching Jeremy
About this Project
The idea of this project came from the irony of having the skeleton of the British philosopher Jeremy Bentham (with a wax head and real clothes) – known, among other things, for designing and proposing the panopticon, later explored by the French philosopher Michel Foucault – recording images of passers-by and visitors in one of the rooms in the main building of the University College London (UCL).
In his will, Bentham requested that after his death, his body be displayed in public, in what he called the "Auto-Icon". At the UCL now, it is possible to see what is left from his body in a glass case. As part of a research project called PanoptiCam, from UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL Centre for Digital Humanities, UCL Public and Cultural Engagement, and UCL's Bentham Project, a webcam was installed on the top of the Auto-Icon watching the reaction of passers-by looking at Jeremy's remains, and broadcasts the images live online via twitter and youtube.
Archive: Sculpture of Foucault by Harmut Wilkening (2010)
Posted in Archive, Art and illustration on 25 June 2016| Leave a Comment »
Re-posted with updated links and youtube videos
For full story see the Foundation for Art and Public Domain site. (Now only available on wayback machine).
On Thursday 24 June 2010, a piece of sculpture by Harmut Wilkening was placed on the first floor of the De Burcht nursing home in Hoogezand. It is a head weighing more than seven tons and is titled Vrij geestig (Quite witty). Just before a start was made with laying the roof in 2009, the sculpture was installed with the aid of an enormous crane. Prior to the installation, a programme was held in the carcass of the building with a presentation by the artist and an introduction by Douwe Draaisma, titled 'Wisdom comes with the years, but is preceded by forgetfulness'. Douwe Draaisma is Professor in the History of Psychology at the University of Groningen.
The building of the De Burcht residential nursing home has the form of a panopticon. From the open well on the first floor there is an all-round view of the galleries on the upper floors where the entrance doors of the apartments are located. Inspired by the idea of a central point in the building from which everything can be seen in a single glance, and which can itself be seen from all angles, Harmut Wilkening proposed to make a large sculpture depicting the head of Michel Foucault, the theoretician of 'panopticism'. The concrete portrait of the French philosopher sports a broad smile, his arm emerges from the floor and his hand is resting on his bald head.
As its first inhabitant, Wilkening's sculpture is being incorporated into the construction process, as a built-in part of the building. Before the placing of the roof, the sculpture was hoisted in with a crane, under the watchful eyes of the future residents and other invited guests. After that the building work has been completed, during which time the sculpture was protected in a wooden crate. At the festive moment on June 24, 2010, when the building comes into service, Foucault's head will be unveiled again. A large panel with a photographic account of the making of the work of art will hang next to the building's entrance. The story of Foucault as the 'first inhabitant' can then be told to visitors and newcomers.
For the residents of De Burcht, Wilkening's sculpture will be a fixed component of their changing entourage. The central open well will be used in diverse ways: as a reading room, theatre and party room. The sculpture refers further to the philosopher's ideas and to the fact that the human head is the storeroom of memory – that essential mental function, particularly for the people who live here. Wilkening compares the building with a library, as a great collection of the knowledge and experience of all the residents together. He also sees the library as a translation of the social order. For him, the piece is about panopticism: the form in which knowledge is generated, ordered, disseminated and guarded. In De Burcht, Foucault's head – with a wink – occupies the place of the globe that was also centrally displayed in old libraries, symbolising the all-seeing world.

The Art of Thought (2016)

The Art of Thought
April 13th – May 6th 2016
Exhibition at The Cob Gallery
205 Royal College Street
London NW1 0SG
All artworks are available for purchase.
The Cob Gallery is delighted to present celebrated Russian artist Sam Kaprielov's new exhibition 'The Art of Thought' on 14th April.
The show is a series of 40 oil on canvas portraits depicting renowned thinkers. They range from history's founding Philosophers to modern day Royalty and Rock Stars.
Kaprielov suggests that the mind is the most potent tool known to mankind. Its used by the philosopher to ponder metaphysics and by the artist to create images that lead to thought and inspiration. With 'The Art Of Thought' he has brought these two fields of human endeavour together as friendly bedfellows.
His extraordinarily agile and, yet, very precise brushwork has conjured up on canvas a collection of some of the most influential thinkers of centuries past so that we may retain a modicum of cognition, lest we forget the contribution that these fellows have made to the development of humanity throughout history, leading us to where we are now.
Amongst the portraits of more traditional philosophers such as Plato and Socrates, Kaprielov has included a few of what he describes as 'red herrings', such as Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister, Prince Philip and Roberto Cavalli, to name a few.
The works are straightforward painterly interpretations of likenesses found on Google, and not an attempt to visually represent philosophical concepts of the thinkers. The mono coloured canvases represent those personalities in the history of philosophy whom we know nothing about.
In most of the paintings the ice-cold precision of the philosopher's outlook is nicely balanced out with the warmth of palette. During his formative years, Kaprielov spent countless hours in Leningrad's Hermitage Museum contemplating somewhat yellowish old master works and came to firmly believe that a truly good oil painting should be yellow.

The Philosopher's Jumper – apparently modelled by Beckett, Foucault and Sartre
Posted in Art and illustration, Merchandise on 2 June 2015| Leave a Comment »
I'd like to think this was satire, but it appears not… The Philosopher's Jumper. Though I guess if you're prepared to pay £150 then the joke's on you anyway…
Thanks to James Kneale for the alert.
They try to suggest various people, including Samuel Beckett and, right, Foucault and Sartre are modelling it.
If you want sartorial satire, the picture below wins every time…

Bankruptcy Assistance from A Bankruptcy Lawyer
Bankruptcy via Chapter 13
The most common method employed by dallas foreclosure lawyers on behalf of their clients to combat foreclosure is when a homeowner makes use of a chapter 13 bankruptcy repayment plan. In so doing, they are exercising their rights under federal law to stop all collection activities, all lawsuits, and included in this group—also stopping foreclosure.
Bankruptcy Via Chapter 7
Chapter 7, while uncommon for dealing with foreclosure, can still be a method of dealing with foreclosure. In some cases, filing chapter 7 bankruptcy is used to simply buy more time but not necessarily to keep you in the home long term. If a homeowner files ch 7 just prior to the home being sold at foreclosure auction, the foreclosure is stopped immediately. Foreclosure proceedings do not proceed to completion because the automatic stay issued from the bankruptcy court orders all these activities to stop until the lenders attorneys have the time or the sense to file a motion to lift stay.
In Most Cases the Automatic Stay Remains in Place Through the Entire Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
While it is common for a chapter 7 bankruptcy to have an automatic stay run the entire course of the bankruptcy in a 3-4 month period, it is important to realize that the banks have the right to file a motion to lift stay of foreclosure. In so doing, they are required to bring valid deed of trust or proof and chain of custody regarding the title and ownership of the mortgage.
But Why Do I Hear So Much About Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
Filing chapter 11 bankruptcy is common because it is constantly splashed across the news as companies file to reorganize their financial affairs through bankruptcy restructuring. As a result, many people approach a bankruptcy attorney with the request that they be assisted in filing a chapter 11 bankruptcy.

I find it lol that abs is a progressive according to this, also find it weird that progressive is so close to libertarianism on this yet they are almost polar opposite.
Progressivism has been used as a dirty word by much of the right, usually being associated with leftist economic policies. While I'd say that it's true there are fiscal progressives, I'd say that the main thing about progressivism is that it's based more on your social stances - in which case, libertarians and the like are very progressive.
Remember, this chart is based on the US political system, which leans toward the top right - hence why the center is modern liberalism. -------http://www.youtube.com/user/Bud2400

Sheesh social conservatism only has a decade or two of life left.
It's always shifting. Perhaps 30 years in the future, where what would have placed us in the libertarianism section would place us in the progressivism or conservatism section. -------http://www.youtube.com/user/Bud2400
