Crime in Lancashire has continued to fall, according to new Home Office figures.
The county saw a 2.1 per cent reduction in all crime from September 2011 to September 2012. This equated to 2,080 fewer victims of crime in comparison to the same period the year before.
During this time 97,070 crimes were reported to Lancashire Police, compared to 99,150 in the previous year.
However, violent crime and burglary both increased.
Violent crime rose by 1.2 per cent, from 21,006 reports to 21,257 – 251 crimes - and reports of burglary increased by 2.3 per cent, from 4,134 to 4,228 - or 98 crimes.
There were 113 fewer victims of robbery, with a reduction of 15.6 per cent, from 724 to 611 crimes, and sexual offences reduced by 0.1 per cent, from 1521 to 1520 crimes.
Theft offences reduced by 2.5 per cent, vehicle crime decreased by 1.8 per cent, criminal damage reduced by 7.5 per cent, and drug offences reduced by three per cent.
But fraud and forgery increased by 9.6 per cent, from 2,498 to 2,739 crimes.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Bates said: "It is reassuring to see overall crime has continued to fall in Lancashire.
"We work hard to keep the county safe and I am pleased these efforts continue to pay off, with more than 2,000 fewer people being spared the misery of becoming victims of crime.
"We know there are challenges ahead of us as we continue to review our services in order to make significant savings. This is set against unprecedented low crime rates – since 2004/2005, all crime has reduced by over a third, which is more than 36 per cent.
"This will prove to be a considerable challenge over the next few years.
"Despite this, reducing and detecting crime in Lancashire will remain our focus and we are determined to continue to provide the best quality of service possible."
Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire, Clive Grunshaw, said the reductions in crime were positive for the county.
He said: "It is proof of the dedication shown by our hard-working police officers, staff, partners and volunteers.
"Clearly, we need to ensure offences such as burglary and violent crime do not continue to rise.
"I know the police are not complacent and will continue to make every effort to improve the police service.
"There are challenging times for Lancashire Police. As commissioner, I want to support and work with the chief constable in finding the best ways to continue to reduce crime in the Lancashire."

For all of you late Adopters of the PS VITA, here is the Perfect solution to the Download issue you were facing.
Basically the Backgrounds Downloads of the content downloaded off the Vita PSN Store stops downloading if the Vita is Manually made to Sleep.
The Right way to make downloads in the Background is to tweak the Power save settings of the Vita so that it goes to a Pseudo-sleep state(much like a Suspended animation, in medical terms) wherein thebodily functions of the Vita(the Background downloads) definitely work though there wont be a pulse (Lit screen).
After the Downloads are started just leave the Vita alone for like a Minute or so untouched and Bingo the Downloads wont be interrupted like before.

The Bottom Drawer is excellent! I would recommend it to everyone. It is absolutely safe, fun and very easy to use. Not to mention their excellent customer service. These guys are super helpful and very professional. I'll give you an example: one of our presents was a set of crystal glasses. Bottom Drawer placed the order for us but half of the glasses were delivered broken. Instead of letting us deal with it ourselves, Bottom Drawer sorted out everything in a timely manner. They contacted the company theselves and followed up with them until replacements were delivered to us. I was amazed by the support provided.
Thank you Bottom Drawer!

Anais Mitchell
In case you haven't met her, Anaïs Mitchell is not a man. She's a woman, quick to laugh and to cry, a fan of Jane Austen and miniskirts. She came of age reading the diaries of Anaïs Nin and blasting early Ani Difranco records. So it may catch a few listeners off-guard when Mitchell cries out, in the opening sequence of her latest album, "I'm a young man!" And it may come as a surprise when, over the course of eleven songs, she seems to be channeling spirits from the Old Testament to modern Americabut mostly, well, from the Y chromosome.
Who is the Young Man in America? The hero of the title track, who Mitchell says "shows up in a few songs," is a restless character on a feverish hunt for pleasure and success. Alcohol, fame, money, sexnothing satisfies him."I think of him as mythological, a Coyote figure," says Mitchell, "but there's a lot of men I know in him. He's very desirous and very sad." The America he inhabits is an every-man-for-himself frontier country, a place Mitchell caught a glimpse of during the recent recession: "I was watching the news, a family getting evicted from their home, all their furniture out in the street. And this word came into my head: 'Wilderland'. This is a wild place. There's not a lot of trust that you will be taken care of."
But there are other voices on the album. "My dad is one of them," says Mitchell. "From him I get my earliest understanding of what it means to be a man. Also my love of language, and my anxiety." Her father is a writer, and her song 'Shepherd' is based on the first chapter of a novel he published in the late seventies, The Souls of Lambs. It's the story of a modern-day farmer whose wife dies in childbirth as an indirect result of his preoccupation with his work. "He was a young man, about the age I am now, when he wrote it," she says. "Some of what he was wrestling with in that storywork, family, the feeling of racing the clock, the question of what's really importantI wrestle with myself now." What's it like to pick up on a theme her father introduced three decades ago? "Like having a conversation with my dad," she says, "except that we're both thirty years old."
Taking on voices other than her own is not exactly new for Mitchell. In 2010 Righteous Babe Records released the recorded version of her folk opera Hadestown, a modern retelling of the Orpheus myth, featuring guest singers Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Ani Difranco and Greg Brown. The album became something of a critical phenomenon in the UK, making "Best of 2010 lists in The Guardian, Sunday Times and Observer, thanks in part to the skillful production of Todd Sickafoose, who also produced and arranged Young Man. There's a vast, lush quality to Sickafoose's imagination that seems to capture the spirit of the underworld and the lonesome valley. "As a producer, he's a storyteller in his own right," says Mitchell. "He's very operatic."
Young Man is not an opera, but it is a story: a sprawling tale with multiple protagonists. And while Mitchell delivers the lead vocals herself this time around, she's joined by a tribe of musicians that make the album feel like a collective ritual. Sickafoose assembled some of Brooklyn's most sought-after rock and experimental jazz players: guitarist Adam Levy and violinist Jenny Scheinman, to name a couple. Chris Thile shows up on mandolin as well as alongside songwriters Jefferson Hamer and Rachel Ries in a harmonic chorus. Michael Chorney, the man behind Hadestown's remarkable score and the producer of Mitchell's two previous albums (2007s The Brightness and 2004s Hymns for the Exiled) makes a guest appearance on guitar. And in a departure from those early recordings, Young Man features not one but two stick-wielding drummer/percussionistsAndrew Borger and Kenny Wollesenthat give the album some of its swagger.
If there's a common thread in Mitchell's workfrom her earliest ballads, to the opera, to this new chapterit's that she's as interested in the world around her as the one inside her. She has a way of tackling big themes with the same emotional intimacy most artists use to describe their inner lives. "That's why," as one journalist put it, "there's a sexual ambiguity about her work and why, even in her most intimate moments, she never sounds like a confessional songwriter." It doesn't matter whether the stories she tells are her own or someone else's. "The emotions are my own," says Mitchell. "As for the Young Man, he's in me too, I feel his restlessness a lot. He's a part of me like my dad's old book or like something an old lover said one time. Those parts of ourselves that haunt us, sometimes we have to appease them with an offering of food and wine so they'll quit haunting us for a while. This album is that kind of offering."

For the past seven years or so, the long-awaited follow-up to Fiona Apple's 2005 album Extraordinary Machine has in certain circles attained near-mythical status, like Bigfoot or the Illuminati or your cousin's best friend's girlfriend who totally had sex with one of the Backstreet Boys when they were on tour a few years ago. But according to industry insiders, it seems that a new Fiona Apple album will "absolutely" be released sometime this year, making the transition from waifish, hyper-articulate, NYU-student dream, to waifish, hyper-articulate, NYU-student reality.
Although rumors of a new Fiona Apple record have been floating around for years, fans started re-crossing their fingers last Sunday, when Epic Records chairman and CEO L.A. Reid tweeted, "Lots of good music coming from @Epic_Records in the next few weeks. Stay tuned music fans. Welcome back Fiona!!!"
Following Reid's tweet, every white person between the ages of eighteen and forty promptly pissed their pants, retweeting the news and sharing lyrics of her old songs. Even notorious sparklegrouch Perez Hilton got into the act, tweeting, "I'm so happy I could cry!"
Of course, any Guns N' Roses fan who became eligible for Social Security benefits while waiting for Chinese Democracy knows that this kind of thing should be taken with a grain of salt. So a skeptical Time magazine reporter contacted Epic Records directly to find out if the tweet was true. A spokesperson for the label acknowledged that Reid's remarks were "taken a little bit out of context," but she did promise that a new studio album was slated for release in 2012. "It'll absolutely be this year, but timing-wise, I don't know exactly when," she said.
I'll tell you exactly what time it'll be released: Awesome O'Clock. Zooey Deschanel, start packing your adorkable bunny-shaped bags, 'cause the Queen of Blue-Eyed Hipsterdom is reclaiming her throne.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for OUTMemphis: The LGBTQ Center for the Mid-South, Memphis, TN, USA
Coming out is a difficult process for someone over 40, at least it was for me. I spent many months last year arguing with myself about which way to turn. Then last November, I saw the MGLCC online newsletter asking for volunteers. Walking into the Center for the first time was such a relief for me. I finally found a place where I could be accepted for who I was. Volunteering has helped me to connect with others and see what a valuable asset the Center is for individuals and the community.

IT is Friday morning, and residents of the Sporthotel Gudauri are engaged in joyless sport. Muki and Theo, the Viennese veterans, are grunting out their umpteenth set of singles in the tennis hall. Four Swiss friends are hunched over the ping-pong table, banging the ball furiously back and forth. They have had plenty of practice since the weather turned nasty on Tuesday.
Half a dozen swimmers are thrashing the pool. Bowling alleys and pool tables are busy. Rudi, one of four Swiss mountain guides at Sporthotel, is in the video room playing a film about carving technique to an audience of three. This is his last tape, because no one can remember bad weather lasting this long before.
For more than three days we have been waiting to heli-ski. Our avalanche transceivers are blinking. Our rip-cord inflatable backpacks - for extra buoyancy in moving snow - are primed, and our fat skis and poles are tied together for easy loading and unloading in the pandemonium of take-off and landing.
After two days of idleness on the hotel doorstep, our aircraft are rumoured to be out looking for clear weather somewhere in the heli-ski area at our disposal - about 3,000 square miles of empty mountains on the Asian and European sides of the Caucasus. More than 250 dropping points serve runs of up to 1,600 vertical metres on terrain varying from light woods and snow-covered farm terraces to glacier-skiing on the shoulder of Kazbek (5,033m), on the Russian border.
This is heli-ski heaven, in fine weather. Every few minutes bathers and tennis players poke their noses outside and peer vertically into the grey cloud, as if we could burn a hole in it by staring.
The other side of the valley keeps coming into view, teasing us with the prospect of some heli-skiing on our last afternoon. Let's not forget Tuesday, when the few who went out after lunch saw the clouds dissolve halfway up the second chair-lift and enjoyed two hours of magical skiing in knee-deep new snow.
Heli-skiing at Gudauri is run by Roland Beeler, a Swiss mountain guide who came as a guest in 1989 and took charge two years later. Shrugging off the occasional hiatus for war or fuel crisis, Roland says that on average the helicopters fly four days a week. The Swiss ping-pong players, who are on their ninth Gudauri holiday, say the same: You can expect a blank day or two, but not four.
At least we had two good days at the beginning of the week, which started in darkness at Tbilisi airport. A warlike Georgian in a woolly hat approached and growled "Gudauri?" We nodded. He beckoned us to an empty bus with a cracked windscreen.
Four hours and thousands of gear changes later, we completed the 80-mile journey to the Sporthotel, a smart low-rise complex built as an Austro-Georgian joint venture 10 years ago.
Urs, Roland's resident hotel manager, organised an immediate safety briefing in the video room. He left us in no doubt that heli-skiing in Georgia is a dangerous business. "Last week one guest nearly died," Urs explained. The poor fellow lost consciousness and it took adrenalin shots from the hotel doctor to revive him. "So be careful with vodka from the bazaar or in the local café." Local women turn out in all weather and set up stalls at the bottom of the chair lift, selling sweets, the gaudy thick socks that are Georgia's staple souvenir and, naturally, vodka. According to Urs much of this stuff is home-made and dangerous.
A Swedish skier came out with the question no one else dared ask. "How old are the helicopters?" Urs said the engines were brand new. There were two turbos, two of Georgia's finest pilots and an engineer in each helicopter, which is capable of lifting four tons and climbing 1,000 metres in three minutes, so we had nothing to worry about. Urs sent us off to select and sign for standard issue fat skis and anti-avalanche gear.
On Sunday and Monday we stayed off the vodka. These were our heli-skiing days. Dividing the Sporthotel's full complement of 40 skiers into groups took no time at all. Without seeing us ski, Rudi lumped all the English speakers together - half-a-dozen Scandinavians and four British - and introduced Nick, the Georgian guide who was to ski behind us for the week. After a quick run-through of helicopter procedures, we were off - two groups of 10 skiers plus guides and crew effortlessly lifted over the mountain in seconds.
Urs had told us bluntly that snow conditions were bad: not enough snow to ski down to the valley and none on the glaciers because of the wind. At middling altitude, where we would be doing most of our skiing, avalanche danger was acute.
It was with some surprise, therefore, when the helicopter left us on some nameless ridge and the snowstorm subsided, that we looked down on an untouched, enormous and irresistible field of powder snow. The snow was so thick and deep that the few who had declined fat skis were scarcely able to turn. For the rest of us it was a dream, as good as skiing ever gets.
Two days of dream skiing followed. The snow was varied, tiring and in places downright hostile; but this only made the pitches of perfect powder all the more enjoyable. Our progress was quite slow, Rudi and Nick insisting on a 50-metre gap between skiers. After a small avalanche buried one of us to waist level, we got the message.
Then the weather changed. On Tuesday evening, after taking us skiing above the clouds by chair-lift, Nick led us across the mountain to Gudauri village, a cluster of ramshackle buildings two miles up the road from the Sporthotel. We entered a building with a Grolsch sign outside and "Welcome" on the door.
The "Welcome Hotel" lived up to its name, and taught us that being careful with vodka in Georgia is easier said than done. How do you carefully down a small mugful of the stuff in one gulp, as one has to do repeatedly at any meal when locals are present.
Perilously close to the heating system - a bent copper gas pipe with jets of flames issuing from it - two dark men were sitting around a mountain of food with beer, vodka and whisky bottles, mostly empty. One of them turned in his chair and offered a tumbler of vodka; not a brand I knew. "You must join us," he said simply.
I told my companions where to find my insurance details, raised the glass and took a sip. This was not what the man had in mind. "No, all!" he said, and a gesture from Nick made clear that there was no escape. After me, everyone else had a turn, Nick getting a double measure, about quarter of a pint.
Every Georgian table has a toastmaster. There is no need to reply, fortunately, because we could not have matched Nick's long incantation. After half-a-dozen toasts we were still waiting for some food. When it came, we wolfed the lot, including the strongest goat's cheese I have tasted. It broke off in chunks like a slab avalanche and exploded in the mouth, requiring a shot of vodka to help it down,
At midday on Friday we gave up waiting for the weather and left for some sightseeing. We knew it was the right decision when we came across one of the helicopters parked beside the river at the foot of the mountain, guarded by a white Caucasus wolfhound. The crew was in the café, a wooden shed with barbecue and sock-sellers outside the door.
We asked our guide, Marika, if we could go in for a quick drink. She came back and said no we could not: "They invite you to join them." Spicy dumplings and more of that cheese were on the table, with much singing and toasting. Compared with the thick local wine they wanted us to drink, vodka seemed the safe choice.
We did well to escape in less than an hour, after which Marika took us to Georgia's ancient capital, Mtskheta, which is quite easy to pronounce after an hour of vodka. As well as battlements and intricate relief carving from the sixth century, we saw an icon that wept before 20 Georgian men were killed by poison gas in April 1989, the incident that ignited war with Russia. In Mtskheta's ancient cathedral Marika made me stare at an image of Christ until I weakly claimed to have seen it blink. An impromptu male choir struck up at the back of the church.
From a derelict palace high above Tbilisi we rode down to the city in an ancient funicular, pausing to inspect the graveyard where all Georgian poets are buried. It was the only well-kept place we saw in Georgia. At dinner, Marika wanted to know what we thought of the state of the novel. Could we send her some Pat Barker or Julian Barnes? We promised we would, just as we had promised Nick that we would return for a horseback fishing safari or a ski tour up Kazbek on skins in April.
The Georgians have no end of adventures up their sleeve; the heli-skiing is sensational, too, if only you are lucky with the weather. If not, you will meet the Georgians, which is almost as good.
After collecting our refunds and before saying goodbye, we asked Roland to tell us, honestly now, when is the best time to come? Roland looked worried for a moment. Then his mischievous features creased into a smile. "Next week!" he said. I wish I was there now.

I would try sending them a Goodwill Letter (ggogle it for samples). That is really the best chance you have, if they deny that request then you will want to call them and try to get them to do it oer the phone (you will likely need to speak to a manager). If they refuse both in writing and over the phone, you will have to wait 7 years for it to fall off of your credit. But if you submitted your auto-debit app before that due date you should have a pretty good shot at getting them to remove it.

Odyssey Wedding Cars
Odyssey Wedding Cars was established in 2005. We have a reputation for efficiency, reliability and a friendly helpful manner second to none. Our reputation made it inevitable that before too long, we were asked by other car companies if we would showcase their cars as well. Naturally enough we were reluctant at first but coming to know some of the companies over the years we finally agreed to showcase 3 other wedding car company's cars on our site. This has increased the choice we can offer to you, the bride and groom, and that has to be a good thing.
Other Wedding Services
You may not have come to us for wedding cars and are puzzled why you have arrived on this site. Several years back, Odyssey, having being asked on several occassions to help organise Wedding Photographers and Wedding Videographers took the plunge and since 2009 have been offering these services to brides throughout Leinster. You can now get your wedding video or wedding photographs either by themselves or as part of a wedding package.
The company has grown from strength to strength since then, and not only do we provide a great range of services, but we now also work hand in hand with various other providers to offer our clients a wider choice. {NB… all associated companies have been closely vetted so as not to damage the reputation we've built up over the years.}
Since 2009 Odyssey has offered Wedding Photography as part of a package or as a standalone service.
In 2010 we joined forces with a Wedding Videographer (est 1996) and have been offering wedding videography as part of a package since then.
In 2010 we also started to bring in outside car companies on an ad hoc basis when we simply didn't have enough cars for the demand – (or if a couple required a car we didn't stock ourselves)
Odyssey aim to please !! This year (2014) we decided we needed to update our website and so we have now added our partners 'wares and services' on our site. Undoubtably, as time goes on we will find ourselves offering more and more services but if at present if we don't offer the service you are looking we'll gladly supply you with the number of a person who can help you instead.
Here is a sample wedding DVD made for one of our clients.We have 2 more samples on the wedding photography page
Where we are based
All undertaken with the same degree of professionalism as our long established car-hire business suggests. We are always happy to answer questions about our business so we have added a FAQ section. Here we have placed the most commonly asked questions and are happy to add any that we think will be of interest to people.

LushLife Sponge Dishwashing Gloves
We usually forget to save our hands from dishwashing stress and skip the gloves altogether. This has horrified some friends (Comet+skin=Bad), who encourage us to change our pot-scrubbing ways.
We are always looking for dual functioning products, though, and spotted these LushLife gloves on Real Simple.
The latex gloves come with attached sponges on the palms and fingers, making the scrubbing a little simpler.
The gloves are available in three different designs (while the functional aspect is for everyone, the colors and polka dots may not be) on Kitchen Kapers, going for $14.99.

Nature Walk #4.4 – Plants & Fungi
Spring is Here!
This Nature Walk edition continues from #4.3 - Reptiles, Amphibians, & Mammals.
I've broken this post up into four parts due to the large number of images:
- 4.1 - Arthropods
- 4.2 - Birds
- 4.3 - Reptiles, Amphibians, & Mammals
- 4.4 - Plants & Fungi (this post)
The images are highly compressed for bandwidth's sake, but you can click on the images for larger versions (and a few are much deserving of an extra click).
As always feel free to give me any species identifications where I have failed to do so or done so incorrectly.
I have next to zero skills when it comes to identifying plant species. As such, the following will consist mostly of images with no real description. Don't get me wrong - I love me some botany. However, every time I learn a new plant, at least five other pieces of information fall from my skull. I'm just not that knowledgeable on plants.
One defining characteristic of the Chapel Hill/Triangle region of North Carolina in the Spring is the blanketing of the land by invasive (but beautiful) Chinese Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis). This stuff is everywhere, covering large swaths of canopy, much like the invasive Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) which is also from China.
Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida) - a perennial Easter visual pleasure
Heavenly bamboo (Nandina Domestica) - Okay, so this is an ornamental as well. It's still cool.
My property has quite a few various native ferns growing wild throughout the woods. I particularly love them this time of year when the new young leaves are still "fiddleheads."
I found this tiny unknown wildflower in the woods as well (anyone care to ID?):
I really love these very tiny spring flowers, also found wild in the woods. They are Azure Bluets or Quaker ladies (Houstonia caerulea)
Another ornamental from home - the classic early bloomer Forsythia.
Climbing ivy from my front yard:
A random pretty leaf growing on the forest floor. I found lots of these and would love to know what they are...
I took this shot just because it was really a quite lovely scene. The sun shone bright as a breeze drifted through a huge expanse of grass on campus.
A nice unfinished (and apparently abandoned) beaver-felled tree:
Epiphytic plants growing in a tree (technically these are probably not even normal epiphytes - the tree is basically acting like a pot, so the plants are probably in the ground for all they are concerned):
My ornamental peach:
The ground of my property is also covered in a variety of mosses:
Finally, I found a nice set of Puffball Fungi growing on the base of a tree. I have no idea what they are beyond that...
And that is the end of this latest collection of my observations of nature. The reason I love doing this is that it gives me the perfect excuse to do a little research and learn a little bit about the organisms surrounding me, particularly on how to identify them.
Hopefully, you all get a little bit out of it as well.

Nature Walk #1 – Hawks, Epiphytes, Woodpeckers and Orchids
As an actively researching scientist, I generally call this blog a "science blog." However, I would argue that most scientists are first and foremost "naturalists." As such, much of my time outside of the lab is not necessarily spent dwelling on all the intricate details of my own research (I try to limit how much "work" I actually bring home - though it is rarely further than a few action potentials away from consciousness). No, much of my time is spent pondering and observing nature. My drives to work usually consist of me staring out the window looking for red-tailed hawks, deer, and any of the other wildlife common along NC backroads and interstate 40, with occasional glances back to the road and traffic.
The point is: I love nature. Paying attention to it is first-nature to me, having been raised as a country boy in the Ozark mountain forests. It is for this reason that I also consider this a "nature blog." In fact, I recently joined the Nature Blog Network - THE community for nature bloggers - which was created by the wonderful Mike Bergin of 10,000 Birds and I and the Bird fame (note: Mike is in Guatemala at a birding conference right this minute - be sure to look out for what is sure to be an amazing photography collection and story when he returns).
In tribute to my own inclusion in the Nature Blog Network, I give you the first in a series of posts consisting of my own observations from taking walks into nature. I've been posting similar things for a while now (check out the SWEET footage I got of a Great Blue Heron with a catfish recently), but I'd like to make this a formal posting event for me - especially since spring is looming and I will no doubt be making many forays into the natural world.
Although it is still very wintery here in North Carolina and wildlife is relatively sparse (I miss the bugs and other invertebrates...) there is still much to see if one looks closely enough.
In fact, I had barely stepped outside my front door when I saw one of my all time favorite creatures: the red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus). When I was a small child I read some tale of a now-forgotten Native American and his spirit or guardian animal - the red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). Ever since then the hawk has been one of my favorite animals. If I had a "spirit animal" it would be a hawk. Yes, it's insanely silly, but I always pretend like it's a good luck sign when I see one - the key word here is pretend. Really, I love all raptors.
As I walked down my driveway, I heard a squawking sound coming from my neighbors yard. When I looked up, I saw two red-shouldered hawks - one in a nest and the other in a nearby tree. I quickly tried to photograph them, though they were still about 40 yards away. I have a great digital camera, though it is NOT a professional DSLR. However, the 12X optical zoom and decent manual options are more than good enough for me until I have cash to burn.
As soon as I snapped the pic above, both of them took flight. I tried to get an in-flight shot, but the one below was the best I could do in the 1.5 seconds I had before they were gone. Luckily, it was good enough for me to identify it as a red-shouldered rather than a red-tailed. My neighbor (Flyzeyes, who has some pretty awesome nature photography himself) and I both hope that the nest is theirs and that they will return - we shall see.
I mosied on past my neighbors house and through the woods behind it, where a small pond lies hidden within the forest. The pond is surrounded by beaver-chopped trees from last spring. Here are two shelf fungus-laden remnants of the beaver's work:
The pond overflows over a small levy into a large swamp below it.
Flitting throughout the trees, flocks of tiny birds surround the entire marsh. I managed to get one decent picture (they tended to keep a good distance between them and me), and through my trusty bird guide I'm almost certain they were
Swamp Song Sparrows (Melospiza melodia) Note: I had it wrong initially - so much for my bird ID skills... thanks to Mark Shields! The lateral eye-mark and streaked breast with dark spot in the middle is the give-away sign.
The swamp was also surrounded by one type of bush (I have no idea what kind) covered with cool looking pollen pods (see my non-existent botany lingo and knowledge?).
One of my favorite things about wet areas (like swamps and marshes) are that there tend to be various epiphytic species everywhere (epiphytes = things that live on other things - usually on plants. Most are not generally parasitic, but just use plants for structure, though parasites like mistletoe are still considered epiphytic in habitat. Small plants, algae, fungi, and lichens are among the most common - or visible anyway - epiphytes).
I also managed to snap two different woodpecker species - both from fairly great distances, so the images aren't superb. I'm almost 100% certain of both of their identities. The first is a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber), and the second is a Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus).
After watching the birds for a while, I made my way to my own back yard, where I found a returning Lamb's Ear (Stachys sp.)
And finally, I took a few photographs of one of two native North Carolina orchid species I've found on my property. The first is the Cranefly Orchid (Tipularia discolor). What's interesting about this species is that they only bear one leaf - and only in the fall/winter. Once flowering season arrives in the summer, the leaf dies and they send up a shoot filled with tiny flowers. In the fall, the flower stem dies back, to be replaced by the single lone leaf, which has a bright purple underside.
Unfortunately, after a while of searching I was unable to find any of the second orchid - which I know I had several of last year. This second native orchid is quite a beautiful plant - and it has an awesome name: the Rattlesnake Plantain - or Rattlesnake Orchid (Goodyera pubescens). We've had 2 years of pretty bad drought, and an unseasonably cold winter - so I am hoping they have not all died. Perhaps I will find more in the spring. Here's a picture of some I took last September. Pretty amazing foliage pattern, no?
And with that, my first nature walk of the year is concluded. I cannot wait for everything to start blooming and for all the insects and other crawly critters come out of the woodwork. Keep an eye out here for more nature photos and stories to come...
If you know the identity of anything above, or if I've misidentified something, please let me know.

To reflect its age-old culture and traditions in the national capital, the Telangana State government conducted a two-day Bonalu festivities in Delhi that culminated on Sunday.
A committee of Mahankali Simhavahini Temple of Lal Darwaja of Hyderabad conducted the Bonalu in Telangana Bhavan and the adjoining streets in the national capital that attracted people. A team of 150 artistes participated in the State festival of Bonalu even as women carried Bonalu – pots decorated with vermillion, turmeric and Neem branches attracted the Delhiites in a big way. After performing special pujas, the participants demonstrated Bonalu festivities in Delhi streets for about one-and-a-half hour and returned to Telangana Bhavan.
Similarly Pothu Rajus' performance, coupled with dance and drum beats were all cynosure on the occasion that reflected Telangana culture and tradition. The Telanganaites in Delhi too attended the ritual and enjoyed the festivities. Later, Manik Prabhu, advisor of the temple committee said a team of 150 artistes participated in the Bonalu festivities. "Last year, we conducted the Bonalu and will do even better next year", he said. Telangana special representative Dr Venugopala Chary, Telangana Bhavan Assistant Commissioner G Rammohan and staff, Telangana Culture department staff helped conduct Bonalu in Delhi in a very grand manner, Manik Prabhu maintained.

Dallas Kimball defensive tackle Justin Manning wanted to get a better feel for Texas A&M on his official visit to the campus over the weekend. On Sunday night, after returning home from College Station, Texas, the ESPN 150 member and nation's eighth-ranked defensive tackle said he was able to do just that.
"I tried to get a good feel as much as possible," Manning said. "From the time I stepped on campus I was paying close attention to everything."
Overall, Manning came away with positive takeaways from his visit to Aggieland.
"It was good," Manning said. "The coaching staff, the players, everything. Everything was good."
The Aggies are one of five schools that Manning is currently considering. The others are LSU, Oklahoma, TCU and USC.
Before he left town Sunday morning, he got to spend plenty of time talking to the Texas A&M coaches, and they hammered home their need for him.
"It wasn't anything I hadn't heard already or anything I didn't already know," Manning said. "They were saying it again so I can get the picture of how much they can really use me. They have three graduating seniors on the [defensive] line."
Manning was hosted by junior defensive end Damontre Moore, who is also a Metroplex-area product. Manning said he already knows several Aggies, including other Metroplex products like freshmen Thomas Johnson and De'Vante Harris, from their little league playing days.
As for the game against Arkansas, Manning said he enjoyed it and was impressed by the Aggies.
"They played a good game against a good physical team," he said. "It was a well-played game."
A&M receivers coach David Beaty has been the coach most recruiting Manning but on the visit, Manning got to know Aggies' defensive line coach Terry Price, who would be his position coach if he picked A&M.
"He's a cool dude," Manning said. "I could see myself playing for him and things like that."
Manning said he got the impression that the coaching staff cares about more than just his football abilities.
"They care about your grades," he said. "They don't want to just use you for football. They want you to do well and graduate.
"It's a good sign this could be a good fit for me."
Manning's decision date is still set for Oct. 19, when he and his Kimball teammates host Dallas Pinkston for Kimball's homecoming game. He has a TCU visit lined up for this coming weekend but said he might have to reschedule his LSU visit because it falls on his homecoming weekend. He still is also trying to schedule an official visit to USC for after the season.
He has a sense for his intentions but is leaving the door open for other possibilities.
"I have a strong idea of where I'm going to go," Manning said. "But that 'what if' in my head keeps calling me."

What have songwriters learned from regular writers? In that video, short story master Tobias Wolff sang along with John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats.
While reviewing Vampire Weekend's star-studded set at the Happy Ending series last week, music critic Simon Reynolds mused that the band's lyrics sound "like short stories where everything's been erased EXCEPT for every third paragraph." His Guardian essay studied songs featuring esoteric re-writes of popular stories. Add your favorite examples in the comments for a future post.
Here's more from the essay: "You could apply that method to other people's films, novels, or plays just as well, and a fair few songwriters have done that, especially when inspiration-starved. The only example that springs to mind right now is E=MC2, one of the few Big Audio Dynamite songs I like, a plaintive ditty that lyrically consists in large part of ultra-condensed movie synopses and highlight scenes from the filmography of Nic Roeg."

School Notey
The course of study at Emerson
school has been arranged for students
who wish to take classical, scientific,
commercial or industrial aits work.
Sixteen units will be required for
graduation, as soon as a full four
years course is established, a unit con
sisting of a subject pursued for a
full year, five days a week, with
periods of not less than 40 minutes in
length. Bookkeeping, typewriting,
manual training, domestic art and sci
ence classes require double periods, as
there is no work of preparation out
side of school. Glee club or orchestra
taken through four years gives one
credit. Music taken under an accred
ited teacher outside of school will be
given credit. Pupils will not be al
lowed to take' more than four units
of work a year, except by permission
of the principal and faculty. No elec
tive study will be taught unless five
or moie pupils demand it. Military
training and physical education for
girls arc required. For military train
ing the state law specifies one-half
credit for year, but the total credit is
not to exceed two units. Pupils will
not be allowed to change from one
course to another without the consent
of the principal.
The student body assembly, held at
Emerson school on Friday morning,
was addressed by Superintendent
Thomas, who emphasized the attempt
which will be made by the faculty and
students to eliminate tardiness. A
strong effort will be made to have
self discipline. A change has been
made in the periods of recitation, the
time for class working being cut down
to 45 minutes. The plan will call for
moro home study.
The Emerson football team is being
brought into shape for the game with
Winslow here in Flagstaff tomorrow,
Coach H. V. Denman doing all in his
power to produce a winning combina
tion. Several of last year's players
havo not returned to school, and a
number of those trying out for this
year's team are now players.
Although the team nas not been
chosen, it is probable that Leslie Mc
Clure will play full back, as he is
showing up fairly well in this posi
tion. Melvin McCormick is one of the
most experienced linemen, and will
probably play tackle. Ed Black is
coming up in good style, and his posi
tion will probably be right end, while
Fred Montoya may be stationed at the
left end. Clifton Williams, a lcccnt
arrival at Emerson, may be nlayed as
a quarterback. In all of his playing
so far he has shown good heauwork.
Fred Nackard is tackling hard, and
will very likely make a back field po
sition. Victor McClure's weight will
be a great advantage to him as tackle.
Joo McClure, another big husky who
is doing good work, will be played in
the back field or in the line. Clyde
Tissaw is showing up the best of all
tho inexperienced players. He tackles
hard, and in another year will be a
fine player. Cecil Curry may take a
guard position. Earlc Thomas may be
used in the back field. Among the
other students who are turning out
are Victor Bartlett, George Marine,
Merwin Schwarz and Paul La Rue.
Miss Myrtle Webber will give sew
ing lessons to some of the students
at Brannen school on Mondays and

Monday and Tuesday were legal
political days in Phoenix. Both par
ties were required by law under our
election laws which cover about ev
ery act of a politician, including just
when and where to dump his cigar
The newly elected state central
committees met according to Hoyle at
the state house at 12 o'clock noon on
Monday. The republicans adjourned
their meeting to the Adams hotel,
while the democrats started to mix
and only adjourned to eat.
Republican Results
The result of the republican ses
sion at the Adams in the afternoon
was the unanimous selection of Judge
P. D. Overfield for permanent chair
man; Roy N. Davidson permanent sec
retary, and Dr. J. Dennett, Jr., per
manent treasurer.
Mrs. Kenneth Littlejohn of Tucson
was unanimously elected vice-chairman
representing the seven southern
counties and Miss Hannah Eggleston
of Phoenix, vice-chairman of the
northern counties of the state.
Members of the state executive
committee were appointed by the
different delegations on roll call. The
two allotted to Coconino county were
Dr. M. G. Fronske and F. S. Breen.
Having completed the election of
officers and other details harmonious
ly except for a short gray streak
caused by some question among the
Maricopa county delegates, who asked
for a recess to caucus, the committee
adjourned to meet Tuesday noon at
the capitol as a party council, which
included in its membership all county
chairmen, state and legislative nom
inees. James P. Boyle, whose name had
been written in on the ticket as the
nominee for the U. S. senate, advised
his friends that he had been out of
the state and while appreciating the
honor, was unable, owing to the pres
sure of personal affairs, to accept.
He made an enthusiastic appeal for
his party and suggested the name of
Colonel James H. McClintock, whose
name had also been written in, though
in less number. The party council
accepted the resignation and unani
mously nominated Col. McClintock for
tho honor.
This completed the republican state
ticket, with the possible exception
of Chas. W. Fairfield, who was not
a candidate, but whose name had been
written in by many friends. While it
was understood that Mr. Fairfield
would not be a candidate, he was ab
sent in California so no formal action
could be taken at that time.
Enthusiastic addresses were made
by Gov. Campbell, Colonel McClin
tock, candidate for the U. S. senate;
Mrs. Guild, candidate for congress,
and other candidates on the ticket. A
strong platform was adopted at the
session Tuesday afternon when the
party council convened at 4 o'clock.
Democrats Elect Officers
Not until 9:30 p. m. Monday were
the democrats able to elect their state
committee officers. They are: Ver
non L. Vaugh of Phoenix, chairman
Louis B. Whitney, of Phoenix, secie
tary. For Coconino county P. J. Mo
ran and T. E. Pulliam were named as
members of the state executive com
mittee. The platforms of the different par
ties were not fil6d until Wednesday

counties on at last getting acquainted,

and not merely oy reputation.

itiative work by the Clarkdale chap
ter of the American Association of

county Chamber of Commerce, the
Camp Verde Commercial club, Flag

ganizations, and, finally, the promise
made at Phoenix last Friday by Gov
ernor Campbell that ho and State En
gineer Maddock will favor the proj
ect. Former Goveraor Hunt, again
candidate, promises his support.
Major W. W. Midgely, chairman of
the Yavapai supervisors, mixed elo
quence, humor, raillery and encour
agement in equal parts and poured
out an address that was Ijvely and to
the point. Yavapai county has woke
up, he said, and now is showing Cal
ifornia's spirit in boosting. Yavapai
and Coconino counties have more to
boast of than California.
Midgely believes if we had a pipe
line to put our atmosphere in Phoe
nix it would be worth millions to us.
We have got to wake up if we are
to capitalize our wonderful natural
advantages. We have got to make
this one of the playgrounds of the
world, with golf links, swimming
places, good hotels, dancing pavillions,
the many other things tourists de
mand in addition to scenery and cli
mate. Midgely said after Oak Creek is op
ened to the world it will become so
popular and famous that land in Se
dona will sell by the front foot
He advised that we turn our back
on Maricopa county and develop what
we have and leave Maricopa and
Phoenix behind. "If I lived in hell
and had a job in Phoenix, I'd go
home." he said,
Dominie W. E. Woodruff, the Clc-
menceau honey man. said the two sec
tidns at either end of the Oak Creek
road are not competitive, but if they
are connected each will supply needs
of the other, each help support the
other, each greatly benefit and enrich
the other. "Once you open up that
road, every benighted son of a gun
who sweats in the heat of the Verde
Valley will be up here every Saturday
night to see you." He said opening
the road and thus improving market
ing conditions would bring in a lot
of new and better agriculturists.
H. DeWitt Smith, superintendent of
the United Verde Mining company, of
Jerome, said this county could take a
lesson from Yavapai, where with an
investment by the, county of $2,500
for road purposes they got more than
$245,000 of government money fori
road building. He said the $0,000
spent on the Oak Creek road survey
this winter, and the $25,000 bond
money .we voted for that road three
years ago and which still is lying, to
our credit in the bank here, if prppe'r
local effort is put forth, and we stand
together and fight in "every possible
way for federal government aid, will
ultimately bring us ,$250,000 for that
road, perhaps $400,000.
Forest Supervisor Ed Miller of
Flagstaff explained the manner in
which the receipts of the department

ter American Engineers association,
stressed the importance of Flagstaff
standing positively, s teadily and clam
orously for the government's aid.
Those two counties get about half of

use our influence we can get more
and the road can be finished in 18
Fred Garing, chairman of the board

he and Supervisor Campbell, both of
whom live in this end of the county
and constitute a majority of the
board, are heart and soul for the Oak
Creek road and will see that the board
does all it can for the road.
Bob Taylor, John McWilliams and
John Loy, candidates for election this
fall to the board of supervisors, each
in turn stood up and went on record
as favoring the building of the Oak
Creek road. Mr. Loy, who lives on
the other north and south road, frank
ly said he'd do all he could to put
the Oak Creek road through.
Joe McCarthy, Yavapai county high

pooled their efforts for government
aid on the Flagstaff-to-Globe road,

ment men's endorsement of their
plans and then Governor Campbell
and State Engineer Maddock secured
the diversion of Coconino county's
share from the Oak Creek load to
the highway east of Flagstaff.
Harry Heap, of Prescott, president
of the Yavapai county Chamber of
Commerce, said Prescott is not con
tent with what they have in Yavapai,
but want the added attractions of Co
conino county to pull people away

Reporting on swarm behavior took National Geographic senior editor Peter Miller in a different direction than past articles. "Other stories I've written were more focused on a person or place," he says, "while this one was about a convergence of ideas. So many types of researchers are interested in collective behavior right now—from mathematicians to physicists to engineers to economists and biologists—that I could act like a bee buzzing from one fascinating interview to another. And since the experts were all eager to talk to people in other fields, they avoided using jargon, which allowed a nonspecialist like me to join the conversation."Best
During my visit with biologists Thomas Seeley and Kirk Visscher on Appledore Island off the coast of New Hampshire, I got to watch honeybees perform waggle dances. It was the first time I had seen this amazing behavior, and it reminded me a little of break dancing, with individual bees doing their moves in front of a crowd. The crowd, in this case, was a swarm of some 4,000 bees in need of a new home, and the dancers were scouts that had found potential nest sites. Each dancer was telling the other bees how to find the site they had visited through a kind of code. And they were very determined. In fact, they were insistent, as if trying to persuade the crowd. At times, I saw several bees dancing, competing for attention. The swarm was so preoccupied with its own situation that I was able to get very close—less than a foot (0.3 meter) away—to observe the bees without being noticed.Worst
Although I'm fond of gulls in general, I didn't appreciate getting buzzed by great black-backed gulls and herring gulls during my stay on Appledore Island. Each summer, the big seabirds flock there to nest and hatch baby gulls. It also happens to be the busy season for scientists and students at the Shoals Marine Lab, who come to the island to do experiments. I learned to keep a close eye on the aggressive gulls whenever I walked from building to building, because they were very good at swooping in to peck at one's head. Researchers who spent a lot of time outdoors took to wearing hard hats to protect themselves. I couldn't really blame the gulls, though. The fuzzy hatchlings they were protecting were awfully cute.Quirkiest
The shuttle boat that carried me to Appledore Island also happened to be delivering several days' worth of food and other supplies. To transport the many jugs of oil, bags of rice, boxes of pasta, and cases of canned goods all the way up the steep hill from the dock to a waiting truck, every able-bodied person was recruited to form a fire-brigade line, of which I quickly became a member. Soon a steady stream of packages was being passed from one pair of hands to another. From a distance, I'm certain we looked very much like a line of ants moving food along a trail to the nest. Since I was writing an article about the virtues of collective behavior, that seemed entirely appropriate.

Petaling Jaya MP Tony Pua saya the Public Accounts Committee's failure to call for meetings means there could be hidden hands preventing the committee.
KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Rakyat MPs called upon the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman Azmi Khalid to call for meetings soon in order to probe several high profile cases.
Speaking at the press conference today, Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua said that PAC had not called for meeting since mid-March despite Azmi's earlier promise to probe several high profile cases.
"Is it a bid to cover up the financial scandals as the general election may be called anytime? This shows that there is a hidden hand trying to cover up the investgations," claimed Pua.
Also present were Tumpat MP Kamaruddin Jaafar, Kepong MP Tan Seng Giow, Teluk Kemang MP Kamarul Bahrin Abas and Selayang MP William Leong.
Besides the NFCorp scandal, PAC was poised to investigate three other issues: former MAS managing director Tajuddin Ramli's RM589 million debt write-off; 1Malaysia Development Board's investment in PetroSaudi; and the KLIA 2 cost increase from RM1.7 billion to RM3.9 billion.
Kamaruddin said that he met Azmi on Monday to enquire of the meetings but received a non-committal answer.
"The PAC committee lasts for an entire Parliamentary term and it can be called anytime," said Kamaruddin.
Tan, who is also PAC deputy chairman, said that this was the reason the opposition bloc had always asked the government to appoint a Pakatan MP as the committee chairman to ensure transparency.
"We will be sending an official letter to Azmi soon," he said.
When met later, Azmi denied allegations that the there were hidden hands trying to halt PAC's probe on the high profile cases.
"No orders to stop PAC meetings," said the Padang Besar MP.
On why he did not call for meetings, Azmi said that he did call for a meeting in April but had to call it off claiming many of its members did not turn up.
He also said that he will call for a meeting next week but said he would only decide on the date after consulting the parliamentary secretary.

Jared Goff got offered by Cal during his junior day visit and immediately the Golden Bears shot to the top of his list.
Goff wanted to take some other visits to see some other schools and he tried to take things slowly but less than one month later, the Kentfield (Calif.) Marin Catholic pro-style quarterback has decided to make his commitment.
When you know, you know.
Article Continues Below
Cal beat out offers from Washington State and Boise State and interest from numerous Pac-12 programs and it's really no surprise since Goff had said pretty much all along that the Golden Bears were the frontrunner.
"I knew Cal was one of his top schools but he wanted to go into this open and unbiased as possible," Marin Catholic coach Mazi Moayed said.
"After having some junior days at some other schools and making some unofficial visits to some other spots he and his family talked it over and felt Cal was the best fit. He had some other places to compare it to and they became convinced Cal was the best spot."
It is a nice pickup early on for Cal since Goff, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound prospect, threw for 3,220 yards with 44 touchdowns and four interceptions in his junior season.
Oregon, Oregon State and UCLA had recently started to show interest along with Stanford, Boston College and many others.
But Cal was the leader for some time especially because Goff has developed a strong relationship with coach Jeff Tedford and some assistant coaches.
During Goff's junior day visit, Tedford said he'd like to see the local quarterback return for spring practice and during the summer. The Marin Catholic standout will go back now as a committed prospect.
"He had a fantastic year and he has a great upside which is scary," Moayed said.
"He's still young, he's still growing. He's going to be a big, strong quarterback. He already is one right now. His upside is tremendous. He's passionate about the game, he's super competitive, he has fun out there and makes it look easy. He's fun to watch and easy to coach."

The City attorney (Joseph Fletcher) spread the Selective Conflict Disorder virus when he infected the city council by advising that it was okay to vote on projects benefiting developers who have given them money because, get this, the Supreme Court has ruled that campaign contributions are free speech. He also infected the council with the understanding that the only people and businesses directly effected by votes moving a development project forward such as the actual developer or applicant applies to the law.

On the Santa Ana Council Agenda Tonight
by Chris Prevatt •
For those who have been watching the 'pay to play' antics of the Santa Ana City Council may wish to show up at their meeting tonight at City Hall. Two items in particular have caught my eye. First is the rescission and re-vote on the reduction and suspension of fees charged to for-profit adult soccer leagues by the city. back in September the council reduced then suspended these fees, costing the city $127,488 in fees, targeted for use in developing additional artificial turf fields, over the next couple years.
Iglesias and Tinajero endorse Art Pedroza for SAUSD Trustee
by Chris Prevatt •
It seems that Congressional candidate Cecilia Iglesias, and Santa Ana City Councilman Sal Tinajero have a few things in common. Both of them have endorsed Art Pedroza for Santa Ana Unified School District Trustee and both of them are parents of 7 to 8 year-old male children. Art Pedroza thinks that men having sex with young boys is funny. He finds the topic so humorous that he linked unsuspecting visitors to his Orange Juice Blog to the main page of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).

Santa Ana Council Special Closed Session Meeting – Yep they screwed up again with Brown Act Violation
by Chris Prevatt •
Mayor Miguel Pulido called a Special Meeting of the Santa Ana City Council for Monday evening at 5 pm. The meeting started late, a little after 5:30 pm. While Mayor Pulido was in the building (at least five of us shook his hand at around 5 pm), he was no where in the conference room. I did look under the table just to be sure he wasn't hiding. Also missing were Councilmembers Martinez and Mayor Pro Tem Alvarez.

Mthethwa's spokesperson resigns for private sector post
Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa's spokesperson Zweli Mnisi has left for another position, the police ministry said on Tuesday.
Mthethwa accepted his resignation and Mnisi was now serving notice until the end of February.
"I was approached and offered a senior management position in the private sector, with one of the multinationals within the information, communication and technology industry," Mnisi said in a statement.
"I have accepted the offer."
Mnisi indicated that he also intended to further his studies.
He has worked as Mthethwa's spokesperson for the past four years.
Mthethwa wished him well in his new position.
"Zweli has served the ministry of police with excellence, dedication, and I am certain this is a sentiment that is shared by many people," Mthethwa said.

From best-selling author Lexy Timms comes a motorcycle club romance that'll make you want to buy a Harley and fall in love all over again. Emily Rose Dougherty had only fallen in love once, in high school with a boy her parents didn't approve of. Emily saw through the tough-guy façade, his leather jacket and motorcycle. She gave her heart to him. An accident on Luke's motorcycle brought things to a screeching halt when her parents forbade her to see him again. Neither forgot about the other. Fast forward 10 years....
Luke Wade built a good life as the owner of a motorcycle repair shop and the road captain of Hades' Spawn Motorcycle Club. When he reconnects with his high school love, Emily, things seem to be falling into place. When dirty dealings within Hades' Spawn, problems created by Emily's ex-boyfriend, and secrets from Luke's past threaten to blow Luke's life and his relationship with Emily apart, it suddenly feels like everything is spiraling out of control. Can Luke and Emily find a way to conquer the obstacles to their love or will they be to each other "the one that got away?"
This is book two of the Hades' Spawn Motorcycle Club Series. Intended for mature audiences only.

"One That Got Away."
This book and the one previous in the series was pretty good reads, however for the price of the books I as well as the other people that had to pay that much money for them deserved more from the author and the product.
"Cliff Hanger Ending"
I didn't really like Em, she was a bit annoying and weak. I liked Luke and the story was interesting. I was shocked at the ending. This was an OK story.
