ABRAHAM GALINDO, PETITIONER,v.ED FOULK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RESPONDENT.
Petitioner, a civil detainee currently confined at Napa State Hospital, is proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On April 7, 2009, the undersigned ordered respondent to file a response to the petition. On June 24, 2009, respondent filed the pending motion to dismiss, arguing that petitioner has failed to properly exhaust his federal habeas claims by first fairly presenting them to the highest state court. Petitioner has filed an opposition to the motion. Respondent has not filed a reply.
In 1994, in the Glenn County Superior Court, petitioner was found not guilty by reason of insanity of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Petitioner does not challenge that underlying criminal conviction in his habeas petition pending before this court. Rather, he challenges the Glenn County Superior Court's subsequent decisions, rendered in proceedings under California Penal Code § 1026.5(b), extending his commitment pursuant to that judgment of conviction. (Pet. at 1-2 & Resp't's Lodged Doc. 1.)
The record before this court establishes as follows. In 2004, the Glenn County District Attorney petitioned the Superior Court to extend petitioner's commitment for two years from August 31, 2004, to August 31, 2006. Following a court trial in February 2005, the Superior Court extended petitioner's commitment to August 31, 2006, as requested by the District Attorney. On appeal, the California Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District reversed the trial court's decision and remanded the case for further proceedings in light of the decision in In re Howard N., 25 Cal. 4th 117 (2005). After a second court trial in September 2006, the Superior Court found sufficient evidence to sustain the petition and again extended petitioner's commitment to August 31, 2006. (Resp't's Lodged Doc. 1.)
In March of 2006, the Glenn County District Attorney again petitioned the Superior Court to extend petitioner's commitment through August 31, 2008. Following a jury trial held in September of 2006, petitioner was found to suffer from a mental disease, defect, or disorder that made it seriously difficult for him to control his dangerous behavior. It was also found by the jury that he posed a substantial danger of physical harm to others. Based upon those jury findings, the Superior Court again extended petitioner's commitment to August 31, 2008. (Resp't's Lodged Doc. 1.)
On appeal from that determination, petitioner argued that there was insufficient evidence introduced at both trials to support the finding of his serious difficulty in controlling dangerous behavior. On December 11, 2007, the California Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District affirmed petitioner's ongoing commitment. On January 14, 2008, petitioner filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court. On February 20, 2008, the petition for review was summarily denied. Petitioner did not file any habeas petitions with the California Supreme Court. (Resp't's Lodged Docs. 1 & 5-6.)
On April 29, 2008, petitioner commenced this action by filing a federal habeas petition, asserting the following five claims: (1) a single psychiatric opinion does not constitute substantial evidence to support the extension of an insanity commitment; (2) the trial court and the District Attorney erred in relying on evidence of petitioner's past mental condition as opposed to his "current mental condition"; (3) experts testified that petitioner needs to take psychiatric drugs, but those drugs actually induce violent behavior; (4) psychiatry and psychology are "pseudo sciences" -- there is no cure for mental illness; and (5) the experts testifying at his commitment trials were improperly motivated by financial gain. (Pet. at 4-11.)
I. Respondent's Motion
Respondent has moved to dismiss the pending petition, arguing that petitioner failed to exhaust his habeas claims in state court as required. Specifically, respondent notes that petitioner has raises five claims in his pending federal petition. Respondent concedes that petitioner presented these same claims in his petition for review filed with the California Supreme Court. Respondent argues, however, that petitioner failed to raise any of these claims in his appeal filed with the California Court of Appeal. According to respondent, where, as here, a petitioner raises his federal habeas claims for relief for the first and only time to the state's highest court on discretionary review, he has not fairly presented those claims for purposes of the exhaustion requirement. Accordingly, respondent concludes that petitioner's federal habeas claims are unexhausted and that the pending petition should be dismissed. (Resp't's Mot. to Dismiss at 3-4.)
II. Petitioner's Opposition
In opposition to respondent's motion to dismiss, petitioner argues that he presented each of his claims to the California Supreme Court, thereby satisfying the exhaustion requirement. In addition, petitioner argues that if his failure to present those claims to the California Court of Appeal is an issue, it should be noted that he did not personally choose which claims were presented on appeal. Rather, petitioner contends, his appointed counsel made those decisions and is responsible for any procedural default or errors stemming from that decision. (Pet'r's Opp'n to Resp't's Mot. to Dismiss at 2.)
I. Exhaustion of State Court Remedies
State courts must be given the first opportunity to consider and address a state prisoner's habeas corpus claims. See Rhines v. Weber, 544 U.S. 269, 273-74 (2005) (citing Rose v. Lundy, 455 U.S. 509, 518-19 (1982)); King v. Ryan, 564 F.3d 1133 (9th Cir. 2009) ("Habeas petitioners have long been required to adjudicate their claims in state court - that is, 'exhaust' them - before seeking relief in federal court."); Farmer v. Baldwin, 497 F.3d 1050, 1053 (9th Cir. 2007) ("This so-called 'exhaustion requirement' is intended to afford 'the state courts a meaningful opportunity to consider allegations of legal error' before a federal habeas court may review a prisoner's claims.") (quoting Vasquez v. Hillery, 474 U.S. 254, 257 (1986)). In general, a federal court will not grant a state prisoner's application for a writ of habeas corpus unless "the applicant has exhausted the remedies available in the courts of the State." 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1). The exhaustion requirement will not be deemed to have been waived unless the state, through counsel, expressly waives the requirement. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(3).
A petitioner satisfies the exhaustion requirement by fairly presenting to the highest state court all federal claims before presenting the claims to the federal court. See Baldwin v. Reese, 541 U.S. 27, 29 (2004); Duncan v. Henry, 513 U.S. 364, 365 (1995); Picard v. Connor, 404 U.S. 270, 276 (1971); Wooten v. Kirkland, 540 F.3d 1019, 1025 (9th Cir. 2008). A federal claim is fairly presented if the petitioner has described the operative facts and the federal legal theory upon which his claim is based. See Wooten, 540 F.3d at 1025 ("Fair presentation requires that a state's highest court has 'a fair opportunity to consider . . . and to correct [the] asserted constitutional defect.'"); Lounsbury v. Thompson, 374 F.3d 785, 787 (9th Cir. 2004) (same) (quoting Picard, 404 U.S. at 276)); Kelly v. Small, 315 F.3d 1063, 1066 (9th Cir. 2003), overruled on other grounds by Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1146 (9th Cir. 2007); Weaver v. Thompson, 197 F.3d 359, 364 (9th Cir. 1999); see also Bland v. California Dep't of Corrs., 20 F.3d 1469, 1473 (9th Cir. 1994).
II. Discussion
If a habeas petitioner presents for the first and only time his federal claims to the state's highest court on discretionary review, without more, he fails to satisfy the exhaustion requirement. See Castille v. Peoples, 489 U.S. 346 (1989); Casey v. Moore, 386 F.3d 896 (9th Cir. 2004), cert. denied, 545 U.S. 1146 (2005); see also Chambers v. McDaniel, 549 F.3d 1191, 1196 (9th Cir. 2008) ("However, Castille does not address the question presented here, as Castille involved only a state court's rejection without comment of a new claim in an extraordinary motion and does not tell us what to do when a court has in fact spoken on the issue."). In Castille, the Superior Court in Pennsylvania had affirmed Castille's conviction on direct appeal. Castille then unsuccessfully raised his federal claims for the first time in two "petitions for allocatur"*fn1 in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Castille next filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in federal court raising various federal claims, some of which he had raised only in his allocatur petitions. The district court dismissed the petition for failure to exhaust state court remedies. The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed and remanded, concluding that Castille's inclusion of his claims in his allocatur petitions filed with the state's highest court satisfied the exhaustion requirement. Disagreeing, the United States Supreme Court held in a unanimous decision that petitioner had not exhausted his federal habeas claims. The Supreme Court explained that a habeas claim remains unexhausted where the claim has been presented for the first and only time in a procedural context in which its merits will not be considered unless "there are special and important reasons therefor." Raising the claim in such a fashion does not, for the relevant purpose, constitute "fair presentation." (internal citations omitted)
Id. at 348 & 351.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has similarly held that a habeas petitioner does not satisfy the exhaustion requirement by raising his federal claims for the first and only time in a petition for discretionary review filed with a state supreme court. See Casey, 386 F.3d 896. In that case, Casey raised his federal claims for the first and only time in his petition for review filed with the Washington Supreme Court. The Ninth Circuit explained that Casey's petition for review was analogous to Castille's allocatur petitions because the Washington Supreme Court will grant a petition for review not as a matter of right, but within its own discretion. The Ninth Circuit determined that there was "no principled or logical distinction that . . . would set Casey's case apart from the precedent in Castille" and concluded that "[b]ecause . . . Casey raised his federal constitutional claims for the first and only time to the state's highest court on discretionary review, he did not fairly present them." 386 F.3d at 917-18. See also Nichols v. Hartley, 1:08-cv-01017-OWW-BAK-GSA HC, 2009 WL 3153710, at *4 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 24, 2009) (recommending dismissal, recognizing "Casey stands for the proposition that if the filing in the state's highest court is one for discretionary review, the petition[er] must have presented all of his federal claims at the lower levels of the state courts."); Gurnsey v. California, No. Civ. S-07-1900 MCE KJM P, 2008 WL 4104316 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 2, 2008) (recommending dismissal pursuant to Castille and Casey where federal claims were presented to the California Supreme Court in a petition for review); Hill v. California Bd. of Prison Hearings, No. C 06-3080 MMC (PR), 2007 WL 2318976, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 10, 2007) (where claim was presented only in a petition for review that was summarily denied by the California Supreme Court, it was not fairly presented for purposes of the exhaustion requirement); Reynoso v. Lamarque, No. Civ. S-03-0272 RRB EFB P, 2007 WL 707521, at *7 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 6, 2007) ("Because petitioner raised claims 4 and 5 for the first time in a discretionary appeal to the California Supreme Court, he has failed to exhaust those claims for purposes of the federal habeas corpus statute.").*fn2
As noted above, in this case, petitioner asserts five claims for relief in his federal habeas petition pending before the court. He raised these same five claims in his petition for review filed with the California Supreme Court on January 14, 2008, following the California Court of Appeal's affirmance of the judgment. (Resp't's Lodged Doc. 1.) In California, however, granting a petition for review of a lower court decision is discretionary. See California Rules of Court, Rule 8.500(b) & (c). In this regard, Rule 8.500(b) of the California Rules of Court enumerates the limited circumstances under which the California Supreme Court may choose to exercise its discretionary power of review, as follows:
The Supreme Court may order review of a Court of Appeal decision:
(1) When necessary to secure uniformity of decision or to settle an important question of law;
(2) When the Court of Appeal lacked jurisdiction;
(3) When the Court of Appeal decision lacked the concurrence of sufficient qualified justices; or
(4) For the purpose of transferring the matter to the Court of Appeal for such proceedings as the Supreme Court may order.
In this way, a petition for review directed to the California Supreme Court is analogous to the allocatur petition filed with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court as in Castille and the petition for review filed with the Washington Supreme Court in Casey. Pursuant to the decisions in Castille and Casey, if petitioner raised his five federal habeas claims for the first and only time in his January 14, 2008, petition for review to the California Supreme Court, he has failed to satisfy the exhaustion requirement.
After carefully reviewing counsel's opening and reply briefs filed on behalf of petitioner on appeal to the California Court of Appeal, petitioner's pro se petition for review submitted to the California Supreme Court, and his pending pro se federal habeas petition, the court finds that petitioner has failed to exhaust his second, third, fourth, and fifth federal habeas claims for relief. However, contrary to respondent's contention, the undersigned concludes that petitioner has properly exhausted his first claim for federal habeas relief.
As respondent acknowledges, in petitioner's direct appeal of right to the state appellate court, petitioner argued that there was no substantial evidence introduced at the proceedings below to support the extension of his commitment. This first claim of petitioner's pending federal petition, is virtually identical to the first claim of his petition for review filed with the California Supreme Court in which he similarly argued that there was no substantial evidence before the trial court to support a finding that he has difficulty controlling dangerous behavior. In fact, petitioner on this point has lifted entire passages from his opening brief to the California Court of Appeal and repeated them here in support of his federal claim of entitlement to habeas relief. Petitioner has presented essentially the same argument, that there was insufficient evidence presented at the September 2006 proceeding before the Glenn County Superior Court to support the extension of his confinement, to the California Court of Appeal, the California Supreme Court and to this court. The state courts, including the California Supreme Court, were given an adequate opportunity to address petitioner's first claim for habeas relief. Accordingly, petitioner has satisfied the fair presentation requirement with regard to this claim. (Resp't's Lodged Docs. 2, 5 & Pet. at 4-6.)
If these findings and recommendations are adopted, petitioner's federal petition pending before this court is then a "mixed" petition, containing both exhausted and unexhausted claims. A federal court cannot grant habeas relief based on a mixed petition. However, recent developments in the law leads the court to conclude that respondent's motion to dismiss should not be granted at this time. Instead, petitioner should be given the opportunity to inform the court as to how he wishes to proceed in this case after considering the three options set forth below. See Jefferson v. Budge, 419 F.3d 1013, 1015-17 (9th Cir. 2005).
First, petitioner may elect to seek a stay and abeyance order to allow him to return to state court to exhaust his unexhausted claims. The Ninth Circuit recently analyzed the two procedures available to habeas petitioners who wish to proceed with exhausted and unexhausted claims for relief. See King v. Ryan, 564 F.3d 1133 (9th Cir. 2009). First, the Ninth Circuit explained "the Kelly procedure," which it had originally outlined in Kelly v. Small, 315 F.3d 1063 (9th Cir. 2003). Under the three-step Kelly procedure, (1) the petitioner amends his petition to delete any unexhausted claims, (2) the court stays and holds in abeyance the amended, fully exhausted petition, allowing petitioner the opportunity to proceed to state court to exhaust the deleted claims, and (3) petitioner later amends his petition and re-attaches the newly-exhausted claims to the original petition.
King, 564 F.3d at 1135. A petitioner who elects to proceed under the Kelly procedure will be able to amend his petition with his newly exhausted claims if they are timely. If a petitioner's newly-exhausted claims are untimely, he will only be able to amend his petition to include them if they share a "common core of operative facts" with the claims in his original petition. In this regard, the Kelly procedure, unlike the alternative procedure discussed below, is a riskier one for a habeas petitioner because it does not protect a petitioner's unexhausted claims from expiring during a stay. See King, 564 F.3d at 1140-41; see also Duncan v. Walker, 533 U.S. 167, 172-75 (2001) (unlike the filing of a state habeas petition, the filing of a federal habeas petition does not toll the statute of limitations).
As the Ninth Circuit explained in King, the United States Supreme Court has authorized an alternative procedure which it outlined in Rhines v. Weber, 544 U.S. 269, 277 (2005). Under the Rhines procedure, the petitioner need not amend his petition to delete unexhausted claims. Instead, the petitioner may proceed on a "mixed petition," and his unexhausted claims remain pending in federal court while he returns to state court to exhaust them. See King, 564 F.3d at 1140; Jackson v. Roe, 425 F.3d 654, 660 (9th Cir. 2005) ("Rhines concluded that a district court has discretion to stay a mixed petition to allow a petitioner time to return to state court to present unexhausted claims."). A petitioner who elects to proceed under the Rhines procedure can, in many instances, avoid an issue with respect to the timeliness of his federal petition. See King, 564 F.3d at 1140. However, the United States Supreme Court cautioned that a "stay and abeyance [under the Rhines procedure] should be available only in limited circumstances," and "district courts should place reasonable time limits on a petitioner's trip to state court and back." Rhines, 544 U.S. at 277-78. The Supreme Court explained that district courts should not grant a stay if the petitioner has engaged in abusive litigation tactics or intentional delay or if the unexhausted claims are plainly meritless. Id. at 278. In addition, federal proceedings may not be stayed indefinitely and reasonable time limits must be imposed on a petitioner's return to state court to exhaust additional claims. Id. at 277-78. Here, if petitioner chooses to pursue this option (i.e., a stay and abeyance order), the court will issue a separate order granting him thirty days leave to file a motion for a stay and abeyance under the Kelly or Rhines procedure.
Second, petitioner may elect to abandon the unexhausted claims set forth in his petition before this court without seeking a stay and abeyance order and proceed solely on his one exhausted claim. Petitioner is advised that, if he chooses this option, a subsequent petition challenging the same commitment proceedings may be barred as second or successive. If petitioner chooses this option, the court will issue a separate order granting him thirty days leave to amend his petition so as to include his first and only exhausted claim.
Finally, petitioner may move to voluntarily dismiss this action and complete exhaustion of his unexhausted claims and then file a new federal petition presenting all of his exhausted claims. Petitioner is advised, however, that if he chooses this option, any future federal petition for writ of habeas corpus may very well be time barred. The habeas corpus statute imposes a one-year statute of limitations for filing non-capital habeas corpus petitions in federal court. In most cases, the one year period will start to run on the date on which the state court judgment became final by the conclusion of direct review or the expiration of time for seeking direct review, although the statute of limitations is tolled while a properly filed application for state post-conviction or other collateral review is pending. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d).
In sum, the court will recommend that respondent's motion to dismiss be denied at this time. The court will also recommend that petitioner be granted thirty days leave to notify the court by declaration as to how he wishes to proceed in this case. If the assigned district judge adopts these findings and recommendations and petitioner elects to pursue this action by filing a declaration, petitioner is advised that his declaration need not be lengthy. Petitioner only need state whether he wishes to pursue the first, second, or third option described above. Then, upon review of petitioner's declaration, the undersigned will issue an order granting petitioner thirty days leave to either: (1) file a motion for stay and abeyance pursuant to the Kelly or Rhines procedure; (2) file an amended petition containing only his exhausted claims; or (3) file a motion for dismissal.
In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:
1. Respondent's June 24, 2009 motion to dismiss (Doc. No. 11) be denied; and
2. Petitioner be granted thirty days leave to file a declaration notifying the court as to how he wishes to proceed in this case.
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty-one days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any reply to the objections shall be served and filed within ten days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

The very best New York Harbor Fishing Experience…,Dec 1st, 2016. Don't let the month of December scare you. The fishing is very good, and the water temperature is 51 degrees, and it is documented that the Striped Bass hit eagerly until the water hits 39 degrees. That water temp. usually occurs around February 1st. Plenty of Striped Bass in the 17 to 22 inch size( about 7 to 10 fish per hour ) Big Stripers up to 27 inches are still hitting, but not as abundant as the smaller fish……. Sunday November 27 Frank and John shared the boat for 6 keeper blackfish up to about 6#s Along with 3 just under keeper size bass and unlimited school size Striped Bass Black fishing remains very good. The Blackfish might be the easiest fish to catch and if it is windy we have out of the wind places to catch them. Also I am proud to announce that in 96 trips this season so far we only went one time with out catching any fish and that was on a shorter two hour trip. Furthermore, that is not likely to happen again till Late January, because Fall and early winter are great times to catch lots of fish. I am now guaranteeing that fish will be caught on all trips. Trips start at $85.00 per person. Pay by Pay pal, cash, check, or credit card. Gift certificates also available. I've been fishing New York Harbor, the East River, and the waters around Manhattan Island as a Charter Boat Captain for over 30 years. My name is Captain Joe Shastay. Personally I am approaching about 2500 charters.
Bio: Captain Joe Shastay, grew up in Jersey City on the shores of the Hudson River, where at age 5 his dad started him fishing from those shores.
As a teen he probed those shores, digging up bait from the marshes, exploring the shoreline in a series of water-craft from oar powered rubber rafts to his present day 23 foot sea worthy Mako center console. While finishing his Biology degree with an emphasis on Fisheries, Captain Joe worked for an Environmental company called Normandeau Associates, where he could be found tagging, measuring, and aging Striped Bass from the waters surrounding Manhattan.
Also working as the Fire Captain, on Jersey City's Fire boat "Lovero" Captain Joe is constantly on the NYC harbor waters. Which equates to a safe, knowledgeable, productive trip for you
The areas that we fish read like a sightseer's handbook: The Statue of Liberty , where we'll be catching 28″ – 38″ stripers; and, in front of The United Nations Building, we'll catch a mix of Bass and Blues with bottom and top water action. The panoramic view of the city is simply incredible. The Brooklyn Bridge, The South Street Seaport and Ellis Island are all within a cast length with our guided tours.
Value oriented: An extremely popular sightseeing boat of similar size offers a 1.5 hour sight seeing tour of the harbor @ $56.50/hr/person. My tours not only give you the sight seeing . You also get 12 fishing rods to choose from, bait, lures, cold drinks, snacks, and KNOWLEDGE of the harbor and whereabouts of the fish you seek for the great price of $67.50/hr/person on the two hour trips and $47.50/hr/person on the four hour trips.
The season runs year round. However, February is the most challenging fishing month. We fish seven days a week with trips starting any time with very Reasonable Rates. Additionally, there is usually a spectacular view of the sunset while on a twilight trip!
Pickups can be arranged from either the Pier 25 at 225 West Street NY, NY in Manhattan or the Liberty Harbor Marina at 11 Marin Blvd Jersey City, New Jersey 07302

I love Harry Potter characters and to see them reach some sort of final happy ending was great to see. It's not a film that will dwell in my mind for months but it was most enjoyable to watch and pretty entertaining stuff Felt like a pretty good conclusion to the series too - so all around a job well done and definitely worth watching. I've watched the Harry Potter films and been reasonably impressed - not blown away I must say - but they are good watching. I was a little nervous about the final film as it had a lot to do to satisfy some of the die-hard fans.

Thousands of police and U.S. military service officers are expected to line the streets of Manhattan for a funeral for a U.S. soldier and New York City police officer killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan.
Fox News reported that the service for Joseph Lemm will be held Wednesday at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The 45-year-old Westchester resident was a technical sergeant in the Air Guard's 105th Base Security Squadron and a 15-year member of the NYPD. He was killed last Monday when his patrol was attacked by a suicide bomber outside Bagram Air Base.
On Thursday, the remains of 31-year-old Staff Sgt. Louis Bonacasa of Long Island will be returned in a ceremony at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh. Bonacasa was also killed in the attack.

The northernmost distribution of Anhinga anhinga leucogaster is in the United States from North Carolina to Texas. It has however been spotted as far north as Wisconsin. Its range also includes Mexico, Central America, Panama, and Cuba. The individuals found in the more northern areas of the U.S. migrate there in March and April and stay until October, then return to Mexico and more southern parts of the U.S. Anhinga anhinga anhinga is found in South America from Colombia to Ecuador, east of the Andes to Argentina, and in Trinidad and Tobago. The range is limited by cool temperatures and low amounts of sunshine.

occurs (regularly, as a native taxon) in multiple nations
National Distribution
United States
Origin: Native
Regularity: Regularly occurring
Currently: Present
Confidence: Confident
Type of Residency: Year-round
Global Range: (>2,500,000 square km (greater than 1,000,000 square miles)) BREEDING: central and eastern Texas, southeastern Oklahoma, southern and eastern Arkansas, southern Missouri (formerly), western Tennessee, southern Illinois (formerly), north-central Mississippi, southern Alabama, southern Georgia, and coastal North Carolina south to southern Florida, Cuba, and Isle of Pines, and from Sinaloa and Gulf Coast south along both lowlands of Mexico and through Middle America and South America (also Tobago and Trinidad) west of Andes to Ecuador and east of Andes to eastern Peru, Bolivia, northern Argentina, and Uruguay (AOU 1983). NON-BREEDING: southeastern U.S. from central South Carolina, southern Georgia, Florida, and Gulf Coast southward; essentially resident in breeding range in Cuba, Isle of Pines, Middle America, and South America. Casual northward after breeding season (AOU 1983).
Physical Description
Anhingas have an average body length of 85 cm, weight of 1350 g, wingspan of 117 cm, and bill length of 81 mm. The head is small and appears to be merely an extension of its long snake-like neck. In the neck, the 8th and 9th cervical vertebrae create a hinge-like apparatus that allows the quick catching of prey. The long, sharp, serrated bill also aids it in hunting. The wings are broad, allowing it to soar, and the feet are webbed to facilitate swimming. The physical structure of the legs is, however, more suited to crawling out of water onto land and for climbing bushes and trees. The tail is long and is used for providing lift, steering, braking, and balancing. When spread in flight, the tail resembles that of a turkey. The overall body shape of anhingas resembles that of a cormorant; the hunting action of the head and neck is more similar to a heron.
Anhingas are sexually dimorphic; males have brighter colors than females. Males have greenish-black plumage overall, accentuated by silver-gray feathers on the upper back and wings that are edged with long white plumes. They also have black crests. Females are brown with a lighter brown head and neck; juveniles are a uniform brown color. Molting of all flight feathers at the same time render them flightless for a while. Unlike some aquatic birds, all of the body feathers become completely wet upon contact with the water, allowing them to dive through the water more easily. This feature, however, causes them to have little buoyancy, to lose heat quickly, and hinders flight.
Average mass: 1350 g.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: sexes colored or patterned differently
Average mass: 1080 g.
Average basal metabolic rate: 3.2258 W.

Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
- Freshwater
Anhinga anhinga prefers freshwater and coastal aquatic habitats that include shrub or tree-covered islands or shores; these habitats include lakes, marshes, swamps, mangrove swamps, shallow coastal bays, and lagoons. Within such habitats, anhingas are able to stalk slow-moving prey and seek refuge from danger in the water, and perch and sun itself in the treetops.
Aquatic Biomes: lakes and ponds; rivers and streams; coastal
Other Habitat Features: riparian ; estuarine
- Owre, O. 1967. Adaptations for locomotion and feeding in the Anhinga and the Double-crested Cormorant. Ornithological Monographs, 6: 138-276.
Comments: Freshwater swamps, lakes, and sluggish streams at low elevations and, in tropical regions, primarily around brackish lagoons and in mangroves (AOU 1983). In Louisiana, most nesting areas are freshwater, some brackish; mainly cypress swamps, sometimes in freshwater marshes (Portnoy, cited by Johnsgard 1993). Favored habitats have areas of open nonturbid water (Palmer 1962). Nests near top of tree or shrub 1-6 m above water or ground, often near wading birds and cormorants. Male establishes nest site, both sexes build.
Non-Migrant: Yes. At least some populations of this species do not make significant seasonal migrations. Juvenile dispersal is not considered a migration.
Locally Migrant: Yes. At least some populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.
In the U.S., northerly breeders are migratory, arrive in breeding areas March-April, depart by early October (Palmer 1962). Basically nonmigratory in south.
Trophic Strategy
Anhingas prey primarily on fish (Percidae, Centrarchidae, Peociliidae, Cyprinodontidae), but their diet can also include aquatic invertebrates and insects. Although not particularly fast swimmers, they are effective aquatic hunters, relying on their quick necks and sharp bills to catch prey. They target slower-moving species of fish and stalk them underwater, finally striking out with their long neck and spearing the prey with the beak. They then bring the prey above water and manipulate it in order to swallow the fish head first.
Animal Foods: fish; insects; aquatic crustaceans
Primary Diet: carnivore (Piscivore )
Comments: Eats mainly fishes; also other aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates (see Johnsgard 1993 for details). Dives from water surface or while flying or from perch, spears fishes on bill (Palmer 1962).
General Ecology
Generally alone or in pairs.
Life History and Behavior
Normally quiet birds, vocalizations include clicks, rattles, croaks, and grunts. Anhingas typically call while on or near the nest, and occasionally while flying or perching. They are particularly silent and elusive when flightless due to molting.
Communication Channels: acoustic
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Life Expectancy
Range lifespan
Status: wild: 16.4 (high) years.
Average lifespan
Status: wild: 143 months.
Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
Anhingas are monogamous and pairs may reuse nests from year to year. The male begins courtship by soaring and gliding, followed by marking a possible nest location with leafy twigs. Then he performs behavioral displays to attract the female. Once the pair is formed, the male gathers nesting material, while the female builds a platform nest, which is usually on a branch overhanging water or in open areas in the tops of trees. The female constructs the nest by weaving sticks together and padding it with live twigs and green leaves. Usually, the highly territorial males defend any threats to nesting territories with extensive displays and even fighting. If another male approaches the territory, the resident male spreads its wings and snaps its beak. If no retreat occurs, fighting will commence by pecking at each other's heads and necks. Females are less aggressive, but will defend the nest if necessary.
Mating System: monogamous
Anhingas are believed to reach sexual maturity around two years of age. Breeding occurs seasonally in North America. In sub-tropical or tropical latitudes, breeding can occur throughout the year, or be triggered by wet or dry seasons. The female lays one egg every one to three days, until she has a clutch anywhere from two to six eggs. Average clutch size is four eggs. The oval-shaped eggs are bluish-white or pale green, sometimes occurring with brown speckles.
Breeding season: Anhingas may breed seasonally or throughout the year, depending on latitude.
Average eggs per season: 4.
Range time to hatching: 25 to 30 days.
Average fledging age: 6 weeks.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; year-round breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; oviparous
The parents share in incubating the eggs for 25 to 30 days. In Mexico, anhingas were documented as performing particular displays when males and females switch incubating duties at the nest. These displays included two parents vocalizing to one another, and the incubating bird neck-stretching toward the mate. After the birds intertwined necks and the returning bird passed nesting material to the incubating bird, the two switched places. Upon hatching, anhinga chicks are naked and helpless. They eventually grow a white down on their belly side and a dark down on their back side. At first the parents feed the chicks by dripping fluid and regurgitated material from partially digested fish down their throats. As the chicks grow older, they shove their heads down the parents' beaks to get this food material. The chicks are in the nest approximately three weeks, but if threatened, are able to drop into the water and swim away, later climbing out of the water and back into the nest. At the end of three weeks, they are able to climb out of the nest to a branch, and fledge at approximately six weeks. They stay with their parents for several more weeks before becoming independent.
Parental Investment: altricial ; pre-fertilization (Provisioning, Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Male, Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Male, Female, Protecting: Male, Female); pre-independence (Protecting: Male, Female)

Eggs are laid from February through June (peak from mid-March through April) in Florida, April-early June in Texas-Louisiana (limited data), July on the west coast of Mexico (see Johnsgard 1993). Clutch size usually is 2-5 (mean between 3 and 4 in the U.S.). Incubation, by both sexes in turn, lasts about 25-28 days. Young are tended by both parents, can fly by 6 weeks, independent at 8 weeks. Sexually mature probably in 2 years. Nests singly or in small colonies, up to 100s of pairs, separated into clusters of 8-12 pairs.

The Admiral's Daughter
A Kydd Sea Adventure
By Julian Stockwin
McBooks Press, Inc.Copyright © 2007 Julian Stockwin
All rights reserved.
Nicholas Renzi nodded to the man sharing with him the warmth of the log fire at the Angel posting-house and regarding his deep tan with suspicion. It was not an attribute often seen in England after a hard winter. Renzi was newly returned from tumultuous experiences on the other side of the world that had left him questioning his reason. He had sailed to New South Wales as a free settler, determined to forge a new life there, but it was not to be. And now, in just a little while, he would see Cecilia ...
The ship that had brought him home had docked three days ago and, having signed off on the voyage, he and Thomas Kydd had made for Guildford. It had been cowardly of him, Renzi acknowledged, to have asked his friend to arrive first to prepare his sister for their sudden reappearance. Cecilia had nursed him through a deadly fever and touched his heart, but such was his respect for her that he had vowed to achieve something in the world before he made his feelings known to her, and had left without a word.
He had laboured long and hard to try to create an Arcadia of his small landholding for Cecilia, in that raw land. Eventually Kydd had rescued him: he had suggested that Renzi make use of his education by devoting himself to the elucidation of natural philosophy from a new standpoint. Where Rousseau and his peers had pontificated from the comforts of rarefied academia, Renzi's studies would be rooted in the harsh reality of the wider world, which he had encountered at first hand in places as varied as the Caribbean and the vast South Seas, the sylvan quiet of Wiltshire and the alien starkness of Terra Australis.
He would distil his observations and experiences into a series of volumes on the extraordinary variety of human response to the imperatives of hunger and aggression, religion and security — all the threats and challenges that were the lot of man on earth ... That would be an achievement indeed to lay before Cecilia and, it must be confessed, it was a prospect most congenial to himself.
This he would owe to Kydd, who had said he would employ his friend as secretary aboard whichever ship Kydd might captain.
For Renzi, performing this role — more of a clerk than anything — was a small price to pay for the freedom it bestowed on him; he had learned the tricks in Spanish Town long ago and knew that his duties would not be onerous. He had never set store by the petty vanities of rank and was glad to withdraw discreetly from the hurly-burly of tasking and discipline to be found on deck. Above all, he and Kydd, old friends, would continue to adventure together ...
A boy brought the other man's pot of flip, beer spiked with rum, and looked doubtfully at Renzi, who shook his head and stared into the fire. It was all very well to have found for himself an agreeable position but the wider world was now filled with menace: the recently concluded hostilities had ended with the worst possible consequences. Prime Minister William Pitt had been replaced by Henry Addington, whose panicked response to the spiralling cost of the Revolutionary War was to trade away all of England's hard-won conquests round the world for peace at any price. And Napoleon Bonaparte, now squarely atop the pyra mid of power in France, was energetically accruing the means to succeed in his greater goal: world dominance.
The King had recently delivered an unprecedented personal message to Parliament. In tones of bleak urgency, he had pointed to the First Consul's naked aggression since the peace — his occupation of Switzerland, his annexation of Savoy and more: there was little doubt now that Addington's gamble of appeasement had failed, and that England must brace herself to renew the struggle against the most powerful military force the world had ever seen.
Kydd, an experienced and distinguished naval officer, would not languish in unemployment for long and Renzi felt a stab of concern: might his friend be prevented from keeping his word on their arrangement?
He glanced at his pocket watch, his thoughts now on his imminent meeting. Cecilia's image had gone with him in his mind's eye on his long journey and stayed with him to be burnished and cherished: soon he would face its reality. He drew a long breath.
Kydd's mother handled the capacious muff of kangaroo skin dubiously; its warm, fox-red fur divided pleasingly to an underlying soft dark grey — but might not other ladies disdain it as an inferior substitute for fine pine marten?
"T' catch 'em boundin' along, Ma, it's so divertin' t' see! They hop — like this!" To the consternation of the house-maid, Kydd performed a creditable imitation of a kangaroo's leap.
"Do behave y'self, son," his mother scolded, but today Kydd could do little wrong. "Have y' not given thought, dear," she continued, in quite another tone, "that now you've achieved so much an' all it might be a prime time t' think about settlin' down? Take a pretty wife an' sport wi' y'r little ones — I saw some fine cottages on the Godalming road as might suit ..." But her son was clearly not in the mood to listen.
The commotion of his arrival began to subside a little as the rest of the knick-knacks expected from a voyage of ten thousand miles were distributed. His father, now completely blind, felt the lustrous polish of a Cape walking-stick fashioned from walrus bone and exotic wood as Kydd presented Cecilia with a little box, which contained a single rock. "That, sis, y' may not buy, even in London f'r a thousan' guineas!" he said impressively.
Cecilia examined it quietly.
"It's fr'm the very furthest part o' the world. Any further an' there's jus' empty sea to th' South Pole — th' very end of every-thin'." He had pocketed the cool blue-grey shard when Renzi and he had gone ashore for a final time in the unspeakably remote Van Diemen's Land.
"It's — it's very nice," Cecilia said, in a small voice, her eyes averted. "You did promise me something of your strange land in the letter, Thomas," she said. "I do hope the voyage wasn't too ... vexing for you."
Kydd knew she was referring to his captaincy of a convict ship and murmured an appropriate reply, but he was alarmed by her manner. This was not the spirited sister he had known and loved since childhood: there was a subdued grief in her taut, pale face that disturbed him. "Cec —"
"Thomas, do come and see the school. It's doing so well now," she said, sounding brittle, and retrieved the key from behind the door. Without another word they left the room and crossed the tiny quadrangle to enter a classroom.
For a space she faced away from him, and Kydd's stomach tightened.
"T-Thomas," she began, then lifted her head and held his eyes. "Dear Thomas ... I — I want you to know that I — I'm so very sorry that I failed you ..." Her hands worked nervously. Her head drooped. "You — you trusted me, with your d-dearest friend. And I let him wander out and be lost ..."
"Wha —? Cec, you mean Nicholas?"
"Dear brother, whatever you say, I — failed you. It's no use." She buried her face in her hands and struggled for control. "I — I was so tired ..."
Kydd reeled. He had sworn secrecy about Renzi's feelings for his sister and the logic that had impelled his friend to sever connection with her. They had prepared a story together to cover Renzi's disappearance: it had better be believable. He took his sister's hands and looked into her stricken face. "Cecilia, I have t' tell ye — Nicholas lives."
She froze, searching his eyes, her fingers digging painfully into his own.
"He's not lost, he — he straggled away, intellect all ahoo, y' see." It seemed such a paltry tale and he cursed yet again the foolish logic that had denied her the solace of just one letter from Renzi.
"He was, er, taken in an' attended f'r a long time, an' is now much recovered," he ended awkwardly.
"You know this?"
Kydd swallowed. "I heard about Nicholas in Deptford an' hurried to him. Cec, you'll be seein' him soon. He's on his way!"
"May I know who took him in?" she continued, in the same level voice.
This was not going to plan. "Oh, er, a parcel o' nuns or such," he said uncomfortably. "They said as how they didn't want thanks. Th' savin' o' souls was reward enough."
"So he's now recovered, yet was never, in all that time, able to pen a letter to me?"
Kydd mumbled something, but she cut in, "He tells you — he confides in his friend — but not me?" A shadow passed across her features. She stiffened and drew back. "Pray don't hold my feelings to account, Thomas. If you are sworn to discretion then who am I to strain your loyalties?"
"Cec, it's not as ye're sayin' —"
"Do you think me a fool?" she said icily. "If he's taken up with some doxy the least he can do is to oblige me with a polite note."
"No! I'm strong enough! I can bear it! It's just that — I'm disappointed in Nicholas. Such base behaviour, only to be expected of — of —"
Her composure was crumbling and Kydd was in a turmoil. Where did his loyalties lie? The words fell out of him. "Th' truth, then, sis, an' ye may not like it."
Now there was no going back. She waited, rigid.
"Ye have t' understand, Cec, that Nicholas is not like y' common sort o' cove. He has a rare enough headpiece."
"Go on."
"An' at times it leads him into strange notions." She did not stir. "Er, very strange." There was no help for it: she would have to know everything. "He — he cares f'r you, sis," Kydd said. "He told me so himself, "I own before ye this day that Cecilia is dearer t' me than I c'n say.' This he said t' me in Van Diemen's Land."
She stared at him, eyes wide, hands at her mouth. "He was there with you? Then what ...?"
"Y' see, Cec, while he was abed wi' the fever he was thinkin'. Of you, sis. An' he feels as it would be improper for him t' make it known t' ye without he has achieved somethin' in th' world, somethin' he c'n lay before ye an' be worthy of y'r attention. So he ships out f'r New South Wales as a settler, thinkin' t' set up an estate in th' bush by his own hands. But I reckon he's no taut hand at y'r diggin' an' ploughin', an' he lost his fortune and reason toilin' away at his turnips."
Kydd took a deep breath. "I offered him passage home. Now he'll come t' sea wi' me an' work on an ethnical book. It's all a mort too deep f'r me, but when it's published, I'll wager ye'll hear from him then."
Cecilia swayed, only a slight tremor betraying her feelings.
Kydd went on anxiously, "He made me swear not t' tell a soul — an' it would go ill wi' me, y' understand, Cec, should he feel I'd betrayed his trust."
"Nicholas — the dear, dear man!" she breathed.
"We conjured up th' story, sis, as would see ye satisfied in th' particulars, but ..." He tailed off uncertainly.
"Thomas! I do understand! It's more than I could ever ..." A shuddering sigh escaped her and she threw her arms round him. "Dear brother, you were so right to tell me. He shall keep his secret, and only when he's ready ..."
"Why, it's Mr Renzi. Just as y' said, Thomas!" Mrs Kydd was clearly much pleased by Renzi's reappearance and ushered him into the room. His eyes found Cecilia's, then dropped.
"Why, Nicholas, you are so thin," Cecilia said teasingly. "And your complexion — anyone might think you one of Thomas's island savages." She crossed to him and kissed him quickly on both cheeks.
Renzi stood rigid, then pecked her in return, his face set. She drew away but held his eyes, asking sweetly, "I'm so grateful to the nuns who ministered to you. What was their order? I believe we should thank them properly for their mercies to our dear brother restored to us."
"Oh, er, that won't be necessary," Renzi said stiffly. "You may be assured that every expression of gratitude has been extended, dear sister."
"Then a small gift, a token — I will sew it myself," she insisted.
Kydd coughed meaningfully, then grunted, "Leave him be, Cec. Tell us your news, if y' please."
She tossed her head. "Why, nothing that might stand with your exciting adventures." She sighed. "Only last week —"
"Oh dear!"
"What is it, Mama?"
"I've jus' this minute remembered." Mrs Kydd rose and went to the sewing cupboard. "I have it here somewhere — now, where did I put it?"
"Put what, pray?"
"Oh, a letter f'r Thomas. From London, th' navy, I think." She rummaged away, oblivious to Kydd's keen attention. "I thought I'd better put it away safely until — ah, yes, here it is."
Kydd took it quickly. From the fouled anchor cipher on its face it was from the Admiralty. He flashed a look of triumph at Renzi and hastened to open it, his eyes devouring the words.
"The King ... orders-in-council ... you are required and directed ..." Too excited to take in details, he raced to the end where, sure enough, he saw the hurried but unmistakable signature of the First Lord of the Admiralty — but no mention of a ship, a command.
Renzi stood by the mantelpiece, watching Kydd with a half-smile. "Nicholas, what do ye make o' this?" Kydd handed him the letter. "I should go t' Plymouth, not London?"
Renzi studied it coolly. "By this you may know that your days of unalloyed leisure on half-pay are now summarily concluded and you are, once again, to be an active sea officer. If I catch the implication correctly, Lord St Vincent has knowledge of your far voyaging and therefore is not sanguine as to your immediate availability for service. He directs you, however, to repair at once to Plymouth where, no doubt, the admiral will be pleased to employ you as he sees fit." He frowned. "Yet within there is no mention of the nature of your employment. I rather fancy you should be prepared for whatever the Good Lord — or the admiral — provides."
"Then we should clap on all sail an' set course f'r Plymouth, I believe!" exclaimed Kydd.
"Just so," said Renzi, quietly.
Cecilia's face set. "Nicholas, you're sadly indisposed. You need not go with Thomas."
With infinite gentleness Renzi turned to her. "Dear sister, but I do."
"Come!" The voice from inside the admiral's office was deep and authoritative.
Kydd entered cautiously as the flag-lieutenant intoned, "Commander Kydd, sir," then left, closing the door soundlessly after him.
Admiral Lockwood looked up from his papers, appraised Kydd for some seconds, then rose from his desk. He was a big man and, in his gold lace, powerfully intimidating. "Mr Kydd, I had been expecting you before now, sir. You're aware we'll be at war with Mr Bonaparte shortly?"
"Aye, sir," Kydd replied respectfully. It was not the navy way to offer excuses, whatever their merit.
"Hmm. The Admiralty seems to think well enough of you. Desires me to give you early employment." The gaze continued, considering, thoughtful.
"Now I can give you an immediate command" — Kydd's heart leapt — "in the Sea Fencibles. The whole coast from Exmouth to the Needles. Eighty miles, two hundred men. Immediate command! What do you say, sir?"
Kydd had no wish to take a passive role ashore with a body of enthusiastic amateurs and fishermen watching and waiting on the coast. He clung stubbornly to his hopes. "Er, that's very generous in ye, sir, but I had hoped f'r a — f'r a command at sea, sir."
"At sea!" Lockwood sighed. "As we all do, Mr Kydd." He came round the desk and stood before Kydd, legs braced as though on a quarterdeck. "You've come at it rather late for that. For weeks now I've had all the harum-scarum young bloods to satisfy and you as commander and not a lieutenant ..."
It had come back to haunt Kydd yet again: as a lieutenant he could be put instantly in any one of the large number of cutters, brigs, armed schooners and the like, but as a commander only a sloop as befitting his rank would do. "Ah — I have it. Command? How do you feel about taking Brunswick, seventy-four, to the Leeward Islands, hey?"
A two-decker ship-of-the-line to the Caribbean? Kydd was dumbstruck. Was the admiral jesting? Where was the joke? Then he realised: the only way he could captain a seventy-four was if she was going to sail en flûte — all her guns removed to make room for troops and stores, a glorified transport, which would effectively remove him from the scene of action. "Sir, if y' please, I'd rather —"

Family Retreat
Exactly as described. This is a great weekend home (would be great for a longer, stay also!). Kevin provided details ahead of time and everything was great upon our arrival. We spent the evenings sitting outside - enjoyed watching deer graze throughout the houses, while still being able to catch Astros games as we sat on the front porch. House was very clean with great amenities (has a Keurig for coffee drinkers). Anything you might have forgotten to pack is a quick trip to Brookshire Brothers, just a few minutes away. We truly enjoyed a relaxing weekend at this house.

The innovative Browning A-Bolt delivers dependable, pinpoint accuracy that exceeds the stringent standards of the modern rifleman. The A-Bolt feeds very smoothly because of its unique, patented cartridge depressor that stays in position, independent of the bolt rotation, as the bolt slides gently over the cartridges in the magazine. The bolt face is recessed, completely surrounding the cartridge base. A cocking indicator located at the rear of the bolt offers visual and tactile firing pin status. The Medallion edition features a blued finish, free-floating, hand-chambered target crown barrel and a checkered, select gloss walnut finish stock with a Rosewood forend and grip caps. This 1987 manufactured left-hand rifle features a tang-mounted safety. Its wood is in fair condition. Its metal and bore are in good condition.

Nothing worse then the feeing of engorged breast filled with milk
I didn't know the milk we produce now can be pumped!
It lasts 3-6 months or so in the freezer. Don't store it in the door because it can thaw and refreeze with all the opening and closing. I'll link you to a great resource for breastfeeding and pumping info.

That's pretty cool how you pumped cause I don't have anything coming out yet.

Snow Fairy is a shower gel available exclusively at Christmas time. This particular scent is also available in other products, so if you're a fan, you can buy the whole line.
Although this isn't my favourite scent from Lush, it's still nice. It's very, very sweet and sort of smells like candy. The gel itself is very pink and has a touch of glitter to it, though I don't notice it much. I don't find that it lathers quite as well as some of their other gels, which glide on smooth and silky and require the smallest amount of product to really foam up.
I would recommend this if you really like sweet scents and the novelty of a girly, pink shower gel. This one just isn't my personal favourite, but it's by no means a poor product.
This shower gel smells like heaven . You can purchase it at lush at Christmas time . It leaves my skin smooth and smelling so delicious . I hate that it only comes out once a year so I stalk up . They do have scents that kind of smell like snow fairy and if I'm desperate I purchase the knock off .
This shower gel is so nice!! It smells amazing, like bubblegum! I even tried it to wash my hair and liked it! It's a little expensive, but I bought it during Lush's BOGO sale after Christmas so it was very worth it!!
Can't wait to buy it again!
Amazing shower gel! I love this product for many reason. First of all, the colour is very pretty. It also lathers very well and leaves the skin feeling nice and clean without drying it out. And the smell...AH! It is just such a great way to lift the spitits! When your down, to wake up in the morning, for comfort: it's awesome!
Every year during the holidays I stockpile enough of this to get me through until the following year. If you love sweet, shimmering, moisturizing girly scents then this is for you!
I love, love, love this shower gel! I wait for it to come out every Christmas. I love the sweet candy-like smell and find that the scent stays on my skin longer than most shower gels I have purchased. I am not a huge fan of the sparkles that are inside...but it's worth it! I do find it expensive for the amount you get....that is my only negative.
I just used mine up and I loved the scent!
I have the whole set of snow fairy products and I definitely like it. The massage bar is a bit too sweet sweet for me but in general I really like using the snow fairy products from lush :)
This stuff is a pure gimmick. The glitter stains the tub, it doesn't lather and it doesn't smell good. Do not waste your money
I really wish this product wasn't just limited edition for Christmas each year. My only problem with it is having to stock up all at once rather than being able to buy throughout the year. A,lovely sweet, candy scent that makes those not so nice early morning wake ups for work incredibly more pleasant.
