1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a hydroponic system and particularly pertains to Hydroponic equipment and a house construction for such hydroponic equipment.
2. Description of the Related Art
Although numerous patents and literatures, regarding hydroponic equipment have been well known in the past, there is available no example of systems intended for hydroponic cultivation which are usable, for example, in tropic, subtropic zones, etc., which have no heat insulating function, which permit easy maintenance and which require only low construction cost.
The present invention has as its object providing a hydroponic system which may be exercised in regions where the ambient temperature is around the upper limit for the suitable temperature for cultivation throughout the cultivation period.
Thus according to this invention, a construction which permits introduction of ambient atmosphere into the environment for cultivation is provided by making each house roof with transparent sheets which shield it from ultraviolet rays and by installing two houses of shed-roofed structure, wherein ridge sides of each shed roof are disposed to face each other with a gap provided between these ridges, thereby making it possible to prevent rain from directly falling on the crops being cultivated and also to keep the temperature of the enviroment inside the house under the upper limit for appropriate cultivation temperature by introduction of outside air thereinto, even when it is under influence of sunshine. Further, by partially spreading a hard plastic sheet or plate below a roof coating member of the transparent sheet, to be fixed in place, the roof coating member may be fixed with a suitable tension with a simple means, or by employing a structure such that cultivating equipment such as cultivation beds, etc., may be readily erected on site, or further, by implementing automation means to control the nutrient solution concentration, etc., enormous advantages will be derived in reduced maintenance care and construction cost.
As will be indicated by the preferred embodiments, the hydroponic house construction is a construction not only capable of minimizing the temperature rise inside the houses, but is sturdy enough to bear strong wind, because favorable ventilation inside the houses is assured without employing such power as blowers', when it is used in regions where high temperature prevails, like in tropic or subtropic zones. Besides, since a hard plastic sheet is fixed on top of the structural members which form the roof in the longitudinal direction along the center of the roof part whereon a soft plastic sheet is spread and tension is applied thereon by thread, even though the structural members composing the roof surface are a straight shape, the soft film can be adequately fixed, enabling a low priced soft film, which is easily mountable and dismountable, to be used as a roofing material. And since the structural members composing the roof surface are allowed to be straight in shape, this system is highly advantageous in both aspects of forming and transporting costs. Moreover, by adopting a hanging structure for the whole of the cultivation beds, not only relief on the initial investment on account of cutback on the cost of members and on the improvement in their transport are achieved but ease of work execution resulting from erection of the facility in erection, simplification of level correction, and ease of heat insulating are provided.
Furthermore, this system is equipped with a nutrient solution controller having a timer which operates for a reset length of time at plural numbers a preset time and is combined with an EC meter. On this account, improvement in cultivation reliability may be expected since excessive top dressing due to failure of equipment is preventable, with the maximum top dressing being specified by the controller. Besides, it is possible to independently control nutrient solutions for cultivation of a plurality of systems with a single EC meter by installing a successively switching relay circuit. Hence, the cost of the initial investment is reduced. Further, initial investment cutdown on component devices is expectable by using a tube pump which permits an equal amount of two fluids to be simultaneously discharged by use of a low priced induction motor having a large output capacity instead of making use of two units of conventional expensive fixed displacement pumps. The top dressing amount may then be controllable by the top dressing time integrated value measured with an hour meter connected in parallel with each pump and other advantages will be derived. Thus this invention's effects on practical applications are enormous.
While the novel features of the invention are set forth particularly in the appended claims, the invention, both as to organization and content, will be better understood and appreciated, along with other objects and features thereof, from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explanation of a hydroponic house construction with the features embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a cultivation bed in a hydroponic equipment with the features embodying the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a hydroponic equipment with the features embodying this invention;
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a nutrient solution controller of this invention;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a hydroponic equipment with the features embodying this invention; and
FIG. 6 is a particular circuit diagram of a nutrient solution controller of this invention.
The preferred construction not only ensures ventilation inside the houses, but withstands strong wind, solves problems on cultivation environment as in tropic zones, etc. This system comprises two houses of shed-roofed structure, facing each other at their ridge sides, with a gap provided between the ridges. The two houses of the aforementioned structure are coupled with girders or substantially horizontal connection means to make an integrated construction, with its sides covered with rolled ventilative sheets. With this construction, wind entering through the sides easily passes through the houses to their ridge sides; and even in a windless state, the air with its temperature raised inside the houses will be discharged out of the houses through the ridge side gap by going up inside the houses. And even when the houses happen to be exposed to strong wind, it is only the roof surface that will receive direct effect of the wind pressure; the wind pressure on the sides may be notably reducible.
At the roof part, on top of a hard plastic sheet spread along its central part in the longitudinal direction, a soft plastic sheet is spread. The roof part is composed such that at positions distanced from the structural members, a tension is applied with threads from its ridge to eaves, thereby making it possible to securely set the soft plastic sheet so as to be withstand strong wind, even if the structural members composing the roof surface are in a straight line shape at the house cross-section.
And because a triangle is built up at the house cross-section between each pillar on the house ridge side and girder, this construction can lend itself to improvement in strength.
Bed bearing fittings are hung at intervals with pipe assembly members between two pipe members installed horizontally by means of house struts, etc., and on these bed fittings cultivation beds are mounted. This cultivation bed is formed of a thin sheet of rust-resistive material into a structure which has a reasonable strength and is adaptable for piling one upon another for facility in transportation of a large number of sheets, yet is adapted to a hanging structure for the cultivation bed. Accordingly, its bottom and edge parts may be held by the bed bearing fittings, so that it becomes possible to form the cultivation bed with a thin sheet, thereby reducing costs. An assembling structure may be adopted with some gradient provided for the side surfaces, so that a plurality of cultivation beds may be piled one upon another for transportation, which will lead to curtailment in transportation expense.
Further, the present invention provides: a hydroponic nutrient solution concentration controller equipped with an electric conductance (hereinafter abbreviated to EC) meter which takes a measurement of the EC value of a hydroponic nutrient solution and delivers a output when the measured value is lower than a preset value; a timer which closes its contact for a preset time period at preset plural times of a day; a two-channel tube pump which is driven by a plural number of EC sensors and a plural number of induction motors; hour meters connected in parallel with the aforementioned induction motors; a plurality of EC sensors; relay circuits whose operation is triggered by the aforementioned timer contact operation which effects successive switching of a plural number of circuits for the input to and output from said induction motors, and delaying circuits for delaying the output after the successive switching.
According to this invention, due to the structure above-mentioned, an output will be delivered from the EC meter when the EC value lowers below the preset value. At a preset point of time, the timer contact will be closed for and kept closed for the specified length of time. Then, the output will be transmitted to the induction motor through a delay circuit, thereby causing the tube pump to be driven. By use of the successively switching relay circuits inserted between the timer and the induction motor, the above-mentioned operation will be successively repeated for a plurality of systems of hydroponic channels.
A hydroponic house construction with the features embodying this invention is shown in FIG. 1. Structures 1 and 1' are formed of a construction of two houses with their ridge sides faced to each other and a gap provided therebetween. The foundation for pillars 2, 2' on the ridge sides of the aforementioned structures 1 and 1' are provided in common thereto, the pillars being fixed in the foundation and widening upward in the distance therebetween. The structures 1, 1' are formed as an integral construction by coupling them with girders 3. On top of the roof structure such as libs 31, 31' of each of the structures 1, 1', a transparent sheet 4 such as a transparent hard plastic film is fixed along the center in a longitudinal direction. On top of this sheet, a soft plastic sheet 5, 5' is spread and a tension is applied with threads 32, 32' spanned from the ridge to the eaves at positions between the roof structural members, to firmly set the soft plastic sheet 5, 5'. In regions like tropic or subtropic zones where ultraviolet rays abound, materials like PVC, etc., having characteristics of shielding and reducing ultraviolet wave lengths shorter than 390 nanometers should be preferable for the soft plastic sheet 5, 5' to be spread on the roof surface. Side walls of the house construction are covered with such a ventilative material 7 as wind shield net, cheesecloth, etc. The ventilative sheet should be provided in a rollable state.
The rain water which has fallen on the roof surface is caught by eave gutters 8, 8', and is led into a water storage tank 9 wherein the organic component contained dissolved therein is removed by means of a water purifier 10. Thereafter, the purified water is fed by a water pump 11 to a nutrient solution tank 13 through a feed pipe 12, so as to be utilized as irrigation water for hydroponic cultivation. In the nutrient solution tank 13, the temperature of the nutrient solution is controlled with regard to its temperature by the nutrient solution cooler 14, and with regard to its nutrient solution concentration by the operation of the nutrient solution concentration controller 15 which automatically supplies fertilizer from a fertilizer tank 16. Then, after passing a solution supply pipe 17, the nutrient solution is fed into a cultivation bed 19 by the action of a water lifter 18 which lifts the nutrient solution by air lift action. The air lift action lifts the solution by means of the upwards motion of air bubbles in the aqueous solution. Numeral 20 designates a bed cover made of a heat insulating material, and 21 a cultivation pot to be filled with gravels for fixing the root of a plant. The nutrient solution which has been used to give nutrient to plants at the cultivation bed 19 again refluxes to the nutrient solution tank 13 through a reflux pipe 22. Numeral 23 denotes an air pump for feeding air to the water lifter 18.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of hydroponic equipment with the features embodying this invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a cultivation bed of the hydroponic equipment with the features embodying this invention. Corresponding parts and components to the first embodiment are shown by the same numerals and marks, and the description thereon made in the first embodiment similarly applies. Differences and features of this second embodiment from the first embodiment are as follows. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, numeral 105 designates cultivation bed struts which also serve as house struts. Numeral 106 designates bed beams bound by pipe fixtures to the aforementioned struts 105. Numeral 107 designates supporting pipes bound to the aforementioned bed beams 106 with pipe fixtures. Numeral 108 designates bed bearing fittings. Numeral 109 desingates cultivation beds. And numeral 110 designates bed covers.
Since the cultivation bed 109 is supported at its sides and bottom by bed bearing fittings 108 hung at intervals of approximately 60 cm from two supporting pipes 107 placed at a distance of approximately 40 cm from each other, the collapse of its sides is prevented even though it is formed of a thin sheet. In this embodiment, use was made of steel sheet of a width of 36 cm which is subjected to a surface treatment, and then, coated on both sides thereof with a hard vinyl chloride resin for rust prevention. The cultivation bed's measure was set to 4 m, plural cultivation beds are coupled with joint members therebetween and with stop members at both ends of the connection.
Then the cultivation bed configurated in the aforementioned manner is filled with water, and the levelings of the cultivation bed are checked. The leveling was rectified by releasing the pipe fixtures one by one.
Since the aforementioned cultivation bed is made with a thin sheet in an inverted trapezoid shape, the beds may be stacked one upon another when transporting them, and thereby are easily transported in a small space.
As hereabove described, according to this invention, by forming the whole of the cultivation beds into a hanging construction, the beds can be made using thin sheets, thereby cutting costs and facilitating the of transportation of the members.
Further, by applying a heat insulative material, for instance by spraying, on the back of the cultivation bed bottom where the heat radiation was largest, its heat insulation has been improved.
FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a hydroponic system with the features embodying this invention. Corresponding parts and components to the first embodiment are shown by the same numerals and marks, and the description thereon made in the first embodiment similarly applies. Differences and features of this third embodiment from the first embodiment are as follows: Numeral 211 designates hydroponic beds. Numeral 212 designates an approximately 300 l nutrient solution tank. Numeral 213 designates a nutrient solution concentration controller. And numeral 214 designates a fertilizer tank. FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of the nutrient solution controller, and FIG. 6 is a concrete circuit diagram of the same. In these figures, numeral 215 designates an EC meter. Numeral 216 designates a timer for setting the top dressing time period and times. Numerals 217, 218 and 218' designate two-system successive switching relay circuits whose operation is triggered by contact operation of the timer 16'. Numerals 219 and 219' denote delay circuits capable of delaying up to 30 secs. Numerals 220, 220' and 221, 221' indicate 10W induction motors and 4 mm and two channel tube pumps which are to be driven thereby, respectively. Numerals 222, 222' designate hour meters which give their indication on the basis of a minimum time length of 0.1 min. Numerals 223 and 223' designate a first EC sensor and a second EC sensor. Actual circuits are as given in FIG. 6.
In the following, the operation of hydroponic equipment with the features embodying this invention is described:
As the EC value in a nutrient solution tank becomes lowered due to the fertilizer absorption by cultivated crops, etc., the EC value will be detected by a first EC sensor 223. And when this value goes down below a preset value, the relay contacts will be closed. On the other hand, the timer 216 will close its contact at the preset time for the preset length of time. The successive switching relay circuit 217 effects a change-over between contacts 218 for the first EC sensor 223 and the second EC sensor 223', and also contacts 218' for changing-over the output circuits D1P, D2 of a plurality of systems while the aforementioned timer contact is closed. When the timer 216 is closed and the successive switching relay contacts 218 and 218' are closed at their first position, an induction motor 220 or 220' is run with a delay of a definite time due to the delay circuit 219, to drive a tube pump. Thereby, an equal amount of each of the two types of fertilizer in the fertilizer tank is pumped up, to be fed into the nutrient solution tank. This operation is continued, until the EC value reaches the preset value or the successive switching relay contact is closed at the second position. During this time period, the hour meter 222 or 222' is driven, to integrate and indicate the time during which the fertilizer has been supplied.
As hereabove described, according to the embodiment of this invention, because crops being cultivated of two systems are simultaneously controlled, the time length for maximum top dressing or the maximum top dressing rate will be determined by adjusting the preset time length and the number of setting times. Therefore, prevention of excessive top dressing to cultivated crops is possible, even if the EC meter makes erroneous operation due to defective EC sensors, etc. Further, by increasing the number of preset times, irregularity in the top dressing concentration may be reduced, thereby enabling an optimal rooting zone environment to be provided to the crops being cultivated. And, control of the top dressing amount becomes possible also by parallel installation of hour meters. On the other hand, in case of a fertilizer containing precipitative Ca2+ salts and PO4 3- which requires equal amount of mixing of the two solutions, a low cost equal amount top dressing has become possible by coupling a two channel tube pump with one unit of an induction motor, in place of the conventional fixed displacement pumps using two units of synchronous motors. Besides, since the tube pump does not utilize any valve, etc., it is not likely to sustain such an abnormality as blockading by foreign matters in the fertilizer.
Although the invention has been described in its preferred form with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure of the preferred form may be changed in the details of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

Officer Darren Wilson spoke exclusively to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Tuesday about his role in the death of Michael Brown.
Protestors shut down Cleveland Shoreway. Demonstrating for 12-year-old shot by police, Tamir Rice
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said Tuesday afternoon that he welcomed an increased National Guard response to Ferguson, Missouri.
Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old Cleveland resident, was shot and killed by a Cleveland police officer. And the police dispatcher didn't relay to the officers the crucial bit of information that came from the 911 caller.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon ramps up the Nation Guard presence to 2,200 and sets in a plan on how they will control the unacceptable violence.
Everything's big in Texas, but even that doesn't fully explain the giant swimming pool sitting on this man's lakeside property.
Hours before Myron May opened fire at Florida State University, a woman he'd never met says she got a voicemail from him, asking for help.
Michael Brown's stepfather is seen in a video calling for the crowd to "burn this b**** down" after learning a grand jury didn't indicted Darren Wilson. The Brown family attorney said no one should judge Brown's parents for their emotional response.
Rev. Al Sharpton said Michael Brown's legacy will not be the "ashes from buildings burned in Ferguson." The Brown family's lawyer Benjamin Crump added that he condemed the violence following the grand jury announcement.

Jun 13, 2013This film made me shed a tear or two (but then I am an emotional soul!). The comedic aspects, such as the total physical difference between the leads and the strength of the Angela were well placed. The reason for Angela coming into the life of Andre and her true identity could have been very tactlessly handled and cheesy in a Disney kind of way, but Besson made it seem as natural as catching a bus. Paris in black and white is also very evocative and the filming was great in my opinion. I would recommend this film to anyone who fancies a fairly short film that makes you think about whether you appreciate your inner beauty and qualities.… Collapse
For his (Besson) fans, Angel-A is an achingly sincere but protracted effort to trade mostly action for mostly dialogue.
Angel-A shows how director Luc Besson can be French in a way that even the French might despise...Quel ick. And très tedious.

I had a friend suggest this story to me. She knows I have a thing for bada** alpha heroes, and who better to read than one deadly dragon with an attitude? A serious attitude, the kind that demands, that doesn't take No for an answer, and roars when things don't go according to plan. You gotta love this man.

Mistress of The Dark Path "Suzie" (The Otherworld) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragon Bound (Elder Races Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
Pia Giovanni has just stolen a treasured item from the horde of an ancient and powerful dragon. A feat that has never been accomplished before. The worst part was she had not wanted to do it in the first place. An ex-boyfriend blackmailed her a few months after their break-up with the threat of revealing secrets she had entrusted him with while they were still together. So for her, she had no choice but to use her unique talents to obtain the item he wanted. Now she is on the run and fearing for her life.
Dragos, the ancient dragon Pia stole from is furious that anyone could gain access to his horde and steal something. His outraged reaction can be felt thoughout New York. He becomes focused on the identity of thief and has every intention of exacting retribution for the crime. Yet once he discovers who the person is, everything doesn't go quite as planned. Pia is like no other woman he has met in his long existence. Soon they are working together to find who orchestrated the theft. They have realized both their lives are on the line as part of a play for power. Before it is all over, neither of them will be the same.
The story line and plot for this novel are great. The book is entertaining and can keep the reader engrossed in what will happen next. The real problems come with the dialog. In most cases, when an author has a character who is thousands of years old, that person tends to speak more formally without a lot of slang. This was not the case with Dragos. He cursed often and generally used modern terminology that is heard from young people. I'm not saying this isn't possible for him to have adapted, but it caused him to lose his own voice. He and Pia spoke nearly the same way. I really couldn't differentiate between the two character's dialog which made the story not quite as good as it could have been. In fact, most of the characters in the book tended to talk this way, including the other older ones. It seemed contradictory to how they should have been.
Despite this being a bit frustrating while reading, I did finish the book. It had a great tale to keep the reader in suspense. Also, the romantic scenes were very well written. Some of the best I have seen. This helped to keep me going even when the dialog became annoying. For those who are a stickler for characters appearing as their nature dictates, this book may be a bit rough to get through. On the other hand, if you enjoy the ancient guys speaking in a modern fashion, this may not bother you at all. Everyone has their own preferences.

This review is from: Dragon Bound (Elder Races Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
I had a friend suggest this story to me. She knows I have a thing for bada** alpha heroes, and who better to read than one deadly dragon with an attitude? A serious attitude, the kind that demands, that doesn't take No for an answer, and roars when things don't go according to plan. You gotta love this man.
Dragos is totally over the top, and I love heroes like this. He is domineering and calculating; he is also dangerous, menacing, and stubborn. I loved every facet of his personality. I loved when he sniffed Pia like the top animal he is, when he bit her in passion, when he was jealous and protective of her. Man, he was so hot!
Pia is also a great character. She's tough in her own way. One of my favorite scenes is when Pia kicks Dragos' crew in the gym. I was so hoping that was going to happen. And she stands up to Dragos too. She is more than a match for him. She is rare and special, in more than just one way.
As a dragon, Dragos loves his pretty, shiny things. By nature, he is curious and acquisitive. No one steals what is his, not even one little penny. Nobody touches or takes what is his, and I loved how Pia becomes his treasure, his most prized and valuable possession. And if anyone touches his woman? Well, look out.
There are so many great scenes in the book, so many great lines, but one line that sticks out for me is when Pia tells Dragos, 'You're like a stalker on steroids.' And that is Dragos, so obsessive, so commanding, so take charge. He is single-minded in his pursuit of Pia. He does learn to temper his steam-roll responses to a degree. For Pia, he will learn to say Please. For Pia, he will learn to do just about anything.
This is a wonderful story, the hero, the fantasy, the romance, all the characters-- I can't wait for the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for more,
Amazon Customer "Salty" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragon Bound (Kindle Edition)
This author was a guest blogger on Nalini Singhs website and after reading her teasers about this book, I decided to check out her website, and there she had 3 excerpts and even before I finished reading the 1st I knew I would be downloading this book (thank god for Kindle, which meant no waiting around 24 hours for a delivery)and could start to read it straight away.
I LOVE THIS début of this series. The book begins with our heroine Pia, whose slimy ex boyfriend has blackmailed her into stealing something precious from the Boss of all Boss the New York Wyrkind Dragos, who is a Dragon shape shifter (now usually at this point I may lose some of you who aren't into these shapeshifter fantasy paranormal books, but I urge you to stay with me) who has lived for thousands of years and in turn over those thousands of years has collected quite a hoard.
Pia's mother at all times,(whilst alive) advised her to protect her true self from others, but in a maudlin moment thinking she might be in love reveals a long held secret to said Slimy boyfriend (before she realises what a moron he is and dumps him,)and he uses this knowledge to get her to steal something so he can pay of his gambling debt and get in with some shady shadowy underworld figures who may or may not be trying to kill Dragos.
Suffice it to say that Dragos soon unearths the loss and goes after her, initially with vengeance in mind, and he can't help slowly becoming amused and then intrigued by this thief who leaves an apology note behind.
Pia isn't all she seems and despite Dragos, after listening to her side of things decides to forgive her, wants her to reveal all her secrets to him, and is less then happy when she declines to do so. Pia is a lovely 3 dimensional character, showing equal sides of her Scared/Feisty and vulnerable personality, but above all doesn't allow Dragos to dominate her to the extend that she loses herself. Dragos character had so many layer, part Lord of the manner, part petulant child when he doesn't get his own way, part cold blooded killer. but throughout you can see how he tries to reign in his more dominating side as he falls for Pia. Their banter is so sarcastic and funny that I had to smile and laugh throughout the book, not to mention that Dragos when allowing his temper to get the better of him, demolishes nearly everything including a perfectly good bedroom lol!
The background characters all come alive and have a part to play in this story, and I can't wait to read their stories too. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series of the Elder races, which will focus of Tiago one of Dragos Sentinel and Tricks who is an Elven Queen.
Some people may suggest the Nalini did it better with Raphael and Elena in the Guild hunter series, but the only parallels to draw to that book is that New York is ruled by 2 ruthless cold blooded gorgeous creature from another dimension and leave it at that.
Try the book, and I bet you'll be pleased,I was!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding new series.,
Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews
Dragos Cuelebre, Lord of the Wyrkind demesne, is an ancient dragon who takes on a human form. He has led all of the Wyrkind for centuries from his demesne based in New York. As founder and head of Cuelebre Enterprises, Dragos is very powerful, financially, politically and magically. He can be selfish, callous, possessive, territorial, wicked, cunning, and ruthless - and those are his kinder traits.
Then something happens that has never before been accomplished. Someone manages to locate his hidden horde and steals a small object. Finding the horde is a miracle in itself, but to somehow slip through all the magical wards and traps - and survive - should have been impossible. Worse, none of Dragos's wards ever warned him of an intruder. His bellow of rage shakes all of New York. He would find and tear the little thief to pieces.
Pia Giovanni's late mother had engraved the lessons into her mind. Pia was never to tell anyone about herself. She was to blend in with the humans. Stay under the radar and avoid scrutiny. Never tell anyone that she was half human and half something else. She was to live her life in secret. But her mother is dead and Pia did not want to be alone. She told one minor secret to her boyfriend, Keith, the man she once loved, while they had been tipsy. No lock can hold her. She can open any lock as if it was not there. Uttering that single fact marked the end of life as she knew it. Months after Pia broke up with him, Keith reappears and blackmails her into stealing an object, any object, from Dragos's secret horde. Pia takes a secret pleasure in retrieving a simple copper penny for Keith instead of anything valuable. Her conscience has her leaving another penny in its place, along with a short note of apology. Before handing the coin over to Keith, she returns the favor of blackmail. To get what Pia stole, Keith has to read a binding spell. Never again would Keith be able to use her or tell any of her secrets. When the Great Beast roars and all of New York trembles, Pia knows her theft has been noted. She must leave everything and everyone she cares for behind. There is no doubt that the massive dragon would find her. Dragos has never shown mercy. Her circumstances would not matter. He would find her. He would rend her to pieces. Pia can only run to dely the inevitable.
Pia makes it to Charleston, South Carolina. It is the seat of the Elven Court and the Wyr, especially their leader Dragos, cannot trespass without breaking all sorts of treaties. So Pia is standing on the beach, feeling safe and secure, at least for the moment, when a humongous dragon dives from the sky, morphing into the form of Dragos, as he pounces upon his prey - her. Stalling, Pia starts answering all of Dragos's questions while wondering when he would begin dishing out justice for her crime against him. Once she finishes explaining how and why she committed the theft, Pia is shocked to hear that Dragos is sparing her life. Of course, she will have to make recompense by serving him (at Cuelebre Enterprise) until he deems the debt is paid.
Upon catching his little thief, Dragos realizes that, for the first time in centuries, he is not bored. Pia constantly surprises him and he is eager for her to remain close. Until Dragos releases Pia, she is his! But getting her safely back to Cuelebre Tower in New York turns out to be a challenge. The Light Fae, goblins, the Dark Fae, and even the sadistic Dark Fae King, Urien Lorelle, stands in the way.
***** FIVE STARS! This is the first title of the Elder Races Series. My synopsis explains the main characters, what first brings them together, and some challenges they must overcome; however, it does not really do the story justice. All the obstacles I mention do not even cover the first half of this book. The second half is in New York, where the pair will face much more danger. Secondary characters (who play vital roles and who may have their own story in the future) have their backgrounds developed. In other words, I cannot name and/or describe the other people and events without more than tripling my review and possibly having spoilers. (I refuse to write spoilers!)
The author has (basically) kept the world as we know it today. Since it is familiar to me, I feel a connection with the story. It is believable to me. Other authors have done this. The "Sookie Stackhouse Series" is a good example and I feel that Harrison's world and characters are just as well done. Readers will find themselves hooked immediately and dread having to put the book down for even a brief time. I warn you not to being reading this story until you are sure that you have plenty of alone time. With this one story, the author has made a fan of me. Thea Harrison's writing is exceptional in every way. *****

darkhunter (UK) - See all my reviews
If you like paranormal romance, your going to love this. If your fans of Nalini Singh and J R Ward, both of which, in my humble opinion, write some of the best alpha males in paranormal romance at the moment, your going to love it even more.
I won't go into detail on the plot, as you can read that on the other reviews. Thea Harrison writes a rip-roaring tale of passion, love and adventure, and I can't wait for the next book to come out. She doesn't fall into the trap alot of romance authors do, and thats have our romantic leads hating each other for what ever reason, all the way to the end, then we are expected to believe they just changed their minds and realised they were in love.
These romances move along at a believeable pace and build tension. I also loved the action in this book, it rattles along and keeps you hooked and breathless. If you try a new paranormal romance author this year, make it Thea Harrison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!,
I really loved this story, so much I immediately bought the next two and pre-ordered the fourth. I just loved the idea of a thief who, in the midst of a dragons hoard would steal a penny and leave another in its place with a note of apology. Good engaging rollicking story with fun and romance, just the way I like 'em.

Mrs Flight (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragon Bound (Elder Races Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
Pia was blackmailed into stealing an item from the hoard of Dragos, one of the Elder races. She manages to achieve the impossible and steals a penny, but this was not just a simple theft and she becomes embroiled in a fight between two Elders who are mortal enemies. Dragos discovers the theft almost immediately and tracks Pia down. However, he doesn't kill her. There is something about her that intrigues him...
The plot thickens; Pia is recognised by the elves due to her resemblence to her mother, but they do not like Dragos. Dragos does not want to let her go, then they are kidnapped. As they try to escape from their captors, things happen that reveal more about Pia and who she is.
I love Dragos - he's been around since the birth of the world and old habits die hard. He's not used to anybody defying him or standing up to him, but he cannot let her go, and there is the matter of the enemy trying to kill him, and her by association. He has to learn to love on her terms, not his and it is wonderful how the two leads learn to cherish each other, both having to learn to trust each other. I thoroughly recommend this book. It's already one of my all time favourites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read,
This review is from: Dragon Bound (Elder Races Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
This book kept cropping up on my recommendations list and I resisted for quite awhile but then tried sample on kindle and quickly bought and read the whole book. I really loved it. Pia was a funny strong heroine and Dragos is ultimate alpha. Their relationship was both funny and touching. Pia is on the run after stealing under duress a very minor item from Dragos' secret hoard of treasures. She isn't on the run for very long and the majority of the book has them together fighting goblins, dark fae and getting to know each other. There is a major thread concerning Pias origins and what sort of shifter her mother was. The scenes back at Dragos' home where his staff and friends come to terms with seeing Dragos in love and Pia finding out about her powers and parentage are fab. Loved it. Was a bit disappointed rest of series wasn't about this relationship. Didn't love the second book so much but this I'll definitely read again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flipping fabulous!,
This review is from: Dragon Bound (Elder Races Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
I have only just got into the 'paranormal romance' genre and have loved some of the books but have found some of the others a bit 'meh'......... I can tell you now that I LOVED this book. Although we all read these books for the gorgeous ripped dudes, the fearless women and the amazing sexy scenes I find that some of the story lines can be a little bit weak, lacking in humour and sometimes incredibly boring (you know, when you keep turning pages looking for the rude bits!). Thea has kept all the great bits in (Gorgeous heroes, fab female lead, good story line) and also managed to make me laugh out loud, absolutely fall in love with all of her characters and get a little misty eyed in the emotional bits. I really liked the way her characters interacted, even though it's all make-believe it all seemed quite real and fun.
I have just downloaded the next book but had to write this quick review to tell other readers to BUY THIS BOOK! I seriously think you won't be disapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Paranormal Romance Author,
K. Ross "kliross" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragon Bound (Kindle Edition)
I saw this book mentioned on Nalini Singh's blog so i decided to read the book and have to say it was great. Pia, our heroine, is half wyr and half human. What kind of wyr she is is a mystery and I am not spoiling it you need to read the book. Dragos is an ancient dragon, normally brutal but when it comes to Pia he mellows, slightly! He is charmed by her and she makes him laugh. Dragos on the other hand scares her (kind of as it does not stop her from saying the most irreverent things) but he also makes her feel warm and safe. If you like Nalini Singh and Alyssa Day, Shelly Laurenston etc then you will like this book and should give it a try. Personally I am running out of authors to read and this one is a nice addition.

While I respect the seasonal raptor closures, obtain the proper permits and follow other access issues, I am conflicted about the lambing season restriction. See the below article:

Perhaps it is best to follow the restriction even if it is nonsensical. For the record I have never climbed at Pusch Ridge.

Oh man, that is a really sad in the history of the Catalinas.
As a young high schooler I once packed camera gear up into those canyons hoping to get shots and see the bighorns. No luck, but I did have the fantastic pleasure of watching a pack of coatamundi come spilling down a tiny drainage. Bunch of amazing, smelly clowns those guys were.
BTW - I thought User Friendly was no give away.

Everything was trending up for Kelvin Herrera. It was April 16 and the flame-throwing right-hander already owned a win, two saves and two holds.
