Product Description
From Amazon
In this latest from bestseller Elizabeth George, China River, recuperating from a failed love affair, agrees to accompany her ne'er-do-well brother Cherokee to the Channel Islands to hand-deliver a set of architectural drawings to an expatriate millionaire whose plans to fund a museum commemorating the war-time exploits of his Guernsey neighbors comes a cropper after he's found dead under suspicious circumstances. George spins an intricate and lively plot that spotlights the efforts of series regulars Deborah and Simon St. John to help Deborah's old friends free themselves; in the process, she introduces a fascinating cast of secondary characters, many of whom had much more obvious motives to wish Guy Brouard dead than the California siblings who seem tailor-made for a frame-up. A fine addition to George's ouevre, this thirteenth outing in her popular series will delight her fans. --Jane Adams
From Publishers Weekly
Fans disappointed by George's atypical story collection, I, Richard (2002), will be relieved to find the bestselling transatlantic author back at the top of her form. This exquisitely plotted mystery bursts with well-developed characters, notably forensic scientist Simon St. James and his photographer wife, Deborah. Lured by the free airline tickets and the $5,000 fee, China River, an old friend of Deborah's, and her half-brother, Cherokee (their mother was into the hippie counterculture), agree to fly from sunny California to rainy England to deliver a package containing architectural drawings to Guy Brouard, a rich landholder on the Channel island of Guernsey. The drawings are for a museum Brouard plans to build on the island honoring those who resisted the WWII German occupation. When the philandering philanthropist gets murdered and the police arrest China, Cherokee turns to Simon and Deborah for help. Curiously, for all the victim's wealth, no one seems to benefit from his death. The theme of hiding-of hopes, of the past, of secret places-underpins this intricate story about friendship, anger, loyalty and betrayal. Comic touches provide some relief as the suspense builds to an unexpected and explosive climax. With her flair for language, George reinforces her reputation as one of today's finest mystery writers.

This time, two characters-Simon Allcourt-James and his red haired, moody wife Deborah-who have always been supporting players, take center stage. The book pays tribute to George's many strengths in character development-any of the characters that she has written about over the years could easily become the focus of a book.
The plot: Cherokee River,a California friend from Deborah's past, shows up on the doorstep of the Allcourt-James' in London. His half-sister, China River (there mother was a child of the 60's), has been arrested in Guernsey on charges of murder. He enlists the help of the Allcourt-James' and their promise to travel to Guernsey.
The murder victim is Guy Brouard, a wealthy hotelier, who escaped the Nazis as a child. He lived with his sister Ruth in a mansion on Guernsey. His life was--and the book is--filled with an assortment of wives, mistresses, children, hangers-on, local friends. Plenty of evidence points to China: however, she is the only one who has no motive.
George's book explores human relationships and dynamics in a way unknown to most mystery authors. The passionate yet challenging marriage of Simon and Deborah--with her numerous insecurities (she can't bear children due to an abortion, her father is his servant)and his embarassment over his crippled legs--is explored in depth. The loyalty that Ruth, the murder victim's sister, feels to her brother-despite her knowledge of his weaknesses--is woven masterfully throughout the book. Several other family relationships are also presented and worked through in the pages.
Of course the mystery itself is great: plenty of twists and turns, a Nazi or two from the past, lots of atmosphere.Read more ›
His sister, who had been something of a lifelong companion, is dying of cancer and has considerable pain. In fact, the dead man was swimming the morning of his death in order to help alleviate his anxiety over her condition. It would be hard to find the person who wished him ill. It would be hard to find a motive.
The island had been occupied by the Germans in World War II. A great deal of Nazi memorabilia has been discovered and there is a plan to create a museum for it. The decedent, though, made no provision for this in his will. His will is very surprising to everyone, his sister included. Something strange had been going on and his sister isn't sure what it is. She explains the Norman customary law to Simon St. James to explain the Guernsey laws of inheritance. The deceased had circumvented these.
Things are not what they seem. A son has to face the fact that his heroic-seeming father was a collaborator. The supposed plans for a museum are unsigned and are stock plans for a spa. The estate is missing a lot of the expected funds.
It turns out a sibling is untrustworthy and this suffices to set up everything else in this picture of misunderstandings. The plotting is wonderful. Elizabeth George is the best mystery writer. It is to be regretted that Inspector Lynley and some of the other regular characters play hardly any role in this adventure.
Even though Lynley only makes a cameo appearance and Havers doesn't appear at all, it really doesn't matter since the story is so bloody good.
Simon St. James, forensic specialist friend to Lynley whom we have met on previous cases, and his red-haired photographer wife Deborah who just so happens to be Lynley's former lover prior to marriage, lead the way in this mystery. Their marriage takes a roller coaster ride as they work together (and apart) to solve the puzzle.
But who is taking the lead on this mystery isn't really all that important. What leads the way in this story is the lush character portrayal both of the people and physical locale involved. Deborah and Simon come to the channel island of Guernsey to help free her American friend accused of murdering a local wealthy philanthropist. What is so fascinating about all the characters involved is how you discover them. They become 3-dimensional as you meet them in first person, then through the eyes of more characters. You think you know a character, then you meet him/her through another person's eyes and it sometimes takes a paragraph or two to identify who it is.
I'd like to see Lynley and Havers back for the next mystery. But, meanwhile, I was very happy to uncover the mysteries hiding in Guernsey in this latest installment of my favorite mystery writer.

Basically the setup is almost the same as [[ One callback for multiple json requests ]], but I think the solution is too hacky and that it should be handle-able in a cleaner way in MVC.
'Tickets' and 'People' are distinct models and there is a getAll method to each. I need to initialize a plugin with data from both getAll methods. They could be ajax requests, but I want to make it oblivious to the plugin caller. I can't think of a way, but I have no experience in MVC, any help guys? Or how should I clean it so that the mvc is cleaner?
I am trying to go after something like this. Thanks!!

Children with developmental disabilities are eligible for admission at age 18 months if they have a developmental delay and age 12 months if they have no delays. Parents must complete an application packet including an Admission Information Form signed by a physician stating that the child is able to participate in a child care program and has current immunizations. Children are enrolled depending on space availability and must be able to benefit from participation in a group setting. During the first six weeks of attendance the teacher, therapists and educational coordinator will complete curriculum-based and standardized assessments for children with developmental delays. Following the assessments, an Individual Intervention Plan (IIP) meeting will be held with the parent(s) to review the assessments and write goals and objectives.
All eligible children are admitted independent of race, color, and national or ethnic origin.
The Rise School of Dallas tuition is $1082 per month. This includes all full-time school and integrated therapies (occupational, physical, speech and music). Siblings who are admitted will receive 30% off their tuition. Tuition for children without developmental delays who attend part time is $433 for two days and $630 for three days. Children with developmental delays must attend full time. Tuition will increase to $1100 for the 2016-2017 school year.
Tuition is based on the full year program costs with 12 equal monthly installments and a 13th tuition payment collected in July. Our 13th tuition payment is a 13th installment of your tuition payment that, encourages families to fund raise throughout the year. Any money or items donated, or events attended, on on behalf of the child will go towards this amount in hopes that the families will fulfill this amount throughout the year.
Tuition is not reduced during school breaks, family vacations, schedule adjustments, or absences unless special arrangements are necessary and approved. Tuition is to be paid on a monthly basis, due by the 1st of each month. After the 5th, a late fee of $25.00 will be charged with a $5.00 daily fee until tuition is paid, unless otherwise arranged with the Director. If the tuition payment is not received by the 10th, a notice of possible termination will be sent. By the 15th, disregard of the notice or continued non-payment will be grounds for termination.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is available on a limited basis depending on availability of funds. This aid could provide assistance from 20%-80% of the regular tuition cost based on the family's net household income and the number of persons living in the household. Part time students are not eligible for financial aid. To apply for financial aid, click on the FAST icon below and follow the online instructions. All forms will be mailed to FAST and reviewed in confidentiality. Once a determination is made you will be notified by the Director regarding your eligibility for financial aid.
For any questions or concerns, please contact our administrative office at (214) 373-7473.

What We're Wearing: Isabel's Floral Shorts Kick Winter To The Curb
Isabel Cafaro, Editorial Intern
What I'm Wearing: "The Sweater and tights are from H&M, the shorts are from Forever 21, and my boots are from a random store near my apartment in Chelsea (don't know its name — sorry!)."
My New Year's Resolution: "To eat healthier! More leafy greens, no carbs with protein, fewer sweets, and no more junk food. I know it's only been a week into the new year, but so far, so good."
My first big purchase in 2012: "I was curious and went to check out Joe Fresh, since it's sold in grocery stores where I'm from in Canada. I ended up buying an entire outfit! They have a lot of cute things and they're great for basics."
The one movie I can watch endlessly on repeat: "I'm a huge film buff, so this is a really hard question to answer! But, I have to say I can watch Frida over and over. I love the art, the costumes, and the music — and Julie Taymor is one of my favorite directors."

This is one bad pharmacy. They lost one of my prescriptions (an important one) and not only they did not ask me if I needed to take it right away, but they kept me there 40 minutes and gave me attitude in addition. They also charged me a fortune for a prescription (having two insurance plans) and when I asked them if they had generic, the guy behind the counter just shrugged his shoulders and said no, he would not bother looking, of course. I changed pharmacies and yes, there is a generic. Avoid at all costs: unfriendly, lazy and incompetent.
This is a great convenient place to shop for not only prescriptions but lots and lots of other necessities. Stop in and see what all they carry! Save some of that high priced gas by shopping on the Island!

Weekend Wrap
By Graham Houston
It wasn't exactly dramatic but Saul Alvarez nevertheless gave an accomplished display in outclassing British veteran Ryan Rhodes in their junior middleweight title bout on Saturday night in Mexico. Alvarez is still learning his craft at just 20 years of age, but to make a fighter of Rhodes's experience look as if he didn't belong in the same ring stamped "Canelo" as a bit special. Rhodes gave his best effort but it was never going to be enough. It was Alvarez who looked like the more seasoned fighter because he was treating Rhodes almost like a sparring partner. (more…)

Sunday's UFC Live event in Pittsburgh is filled with intriguing storylines, fan-friendly matchups, and a handful of TUF alumni looking to keep the ship moving in the right direction.

Felix Sturm: Patron for "Kids for Future"
Story by Wolfgang Schiffbauer
Pictures by Marianne Müller
In the week before an important world title fight, most boxers are not keen on being in public that much. They participated in the final press conference, an open workout and the weigh-in – but that's about it. WBA middleweight world champion Felix Sturm made an exception to this rule yesterday. After attending the presser for his Saturday clash with Ireland's Matthew Macklin, the 32-years old Sturm had another appointment. He made a stop at the charity project "Kids for Future" and visited a group of children at a boxing workout. The three-time middleweight champion took the time to explain the cause, did a little training routine with the kids, posed for pictures and wrote endless autographs. (more…)
Lee to make comeback
By Joe Koizumi
Having been dethroned by Akifumi Shimoda in his initial defense, former WBA 122-pound champ Ryol-li Lee (AKA Retsuri Lee) will make a comeback against ex-national super-bantam ruler Rikiya Fukuhara (24-5-1, 18 KOs) in Tokyo, Japan, on August 6. Lee (17-2-1, 8 KOs), a legitimate featherweight as he had held the national belt at this weight, moved down to the 122-pound category and surprisingly captured the WBA throne by an upset verdict (115-113, 115-114 and 118-110) over Pongsaklek Kratingdaeng-Gym last October. After his forfeiture of the belt to Shimoda last January, Lee, suffered a pitiful passing of his manager/promoter Kazunori Miyakawa this May. Fukuhara is a slick-punching boxer-puncher who is never an easy trial horse for Lee, a lanky counterpuncher, who is gunning for a shot at a world feather belt in the future. On the same bill, once-beaten bantam prospect Ryosuke Iwasa (8-1, 6 KOs), ex-national high school champ, will also participate in a comebacking bout against Indonesian titlist Rasmanudin after his failure to win the national belt from world-rated Shinsuke Yamanaka in March.

The twelfth round knockout scored by the new idol of Mexican boxing Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on Saturday night at the Arena VFG, left the door open to catapult him to the fight of his dreams in his short career. There is already talk that his next opponent could be Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Angel Cotto, tentatively on September 15 somewhere in the United States. Cotto has been penciled in to fight Antonio Margarito in December, but that hasn't stopped speculation of a possible showdown between the two 154lb champions. (more…)

WBA middleweight kingpin Felix Sturm and former European champion Matthew Macklin came face-to-face for the first time since announcing their world title clash on Saturday today at the final press conference at the luxury Wasserturm hotel in Cologne, Germany. The championship bout will draw an 18.000 plus crowd at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne.
"We had a great camp and I believe I'm better than I was in my previous fights", the champion told the assembled media. "I expect a great fight on Saturday night and I don't believe it will last the distance." His coach Fritz Sdunek added: "We will expose Macklin's flaws. Even if our plan A won't work, we have a plan B in place that will. Felix is really strong and ready. He will keep his WBA belt for sure." Clive Salz, Sturm's fitness and nutrition specialist, praised his protégés work ethic: "Camp is a tough time but he did a great job as always and will be a hundredth percent ready for Macklin."

Soto-Sasaki Update
By Gabriel F. Cordero
On Saturday at the Parque Andrés Quintana Roo in Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico, WBC lightweight champion Humberto "Zorrita" Soto (55-7-2, 32 KOs) faces Japan's Motoki Sasaki (36-8-1, 23 KOs) in defense of his world title. "I trained hard for this fight and I hope for the victory," said Soto. "Fights between Mexicans and Japanese are interesting and I hope Sasaki is a great fighter. Sasaki is an aggressive fighter and strong and will surely come well prepared. We analyzed the video of one of his fights and in truth it won't be easy, but I'm coming to do my thing." Sasaki has already arrived in Cozumel. photos…
Akaho, Sato collide in August
By Joe Koizumi
Highly anticipated is a forthcoming encounter of world-rated Japanese 115-pounders Ryo Akaho (16-0-2, 10 KOs) and Yota Sato (20-2, 12 KOs) with the former's OPBF super-fly belt on the line in Tokyo, Japan, on August 4. Akaho lately acquired the vacant OPBF throne by halting Australian titlist Fred Mundraby via fifth round stoppage this May. The challenger Sato is a WBC#4/WBC#5 contender, holding his national belt which won't be at stake this time. Sato, making his third defense, recently kept his Japanese title against world-rated veteran Kohei Kono to his credit. The unbeaten Akaho is fast and can punch, while Sato is more skillful and experienced. It will be a very important and competitive confontation of the near-future world challengers.
There's a funny story. Masaru Yamada, of Yokohama Hikari Promotions that handles the defending OPBF ruler Akaho, took a plane from Thailand back to Tokyo, Japan, some weeks ago. He enjoyed a chat with a stewardess therein, saying he's a boxing person. He boasted of his gym's hot prospect Akaho and mentioned his next bout with the national champ Sato. She then replied, "The opponent Yota is my brother." Yamada was greatly stunned by the coincidence. Good luck for both.

Sasaki departs for Mexico
By Joe Koizumi
OPBF super-light champ Motoki Sasaki (36-8-1, 23 KOs), a cagey veteran of Japan, left for Mexico yesterday (Saturday) to have an ambitious crack at the WBC lightweight belt against Humberto Soto (55-7-2, 32 KOs) this coming Saturday. Sasaki, 35, once experienced a shot at the WBA welter ruler Viacheslav Senchenko only to lose on points in Ukraine in September 2009. But the seasoned campaigner captured the OPBF 140-pound belt by dropping defending titlist Randy Suico en route to a split verdict in July of the previous year and kept it twice by halting Geisler AP and Pansoo Kim to his credit. WBC#12 Sasaki, who previously visited the fight place Cozumel as a traveler, seems willing to cause an upset and bring back the WBC green belt to Tokyo.
Other Guerrero Victorious
By Kurt Wolfheimer
Friday night at Harrington Raceway and Casino, Salisbury Maryland's Alex Guerrero (7-0-1, 4KOs) took another step up the cruiserweight ladder with a one sided second round stoppage of thirty five fight veteran Chris "Cold Steel" Thomas (17-16-2, 14KOs) in the four round main event of the evening.
Guerrero, the older brother of Alex Guerrero seemed relaxed right from the opening moment, snapping sharp jabs which opened up several tight combinations. Thomas of Chicago, Illinois tried to step back and counter but the Salisbury natives' defense was tight and he began to time his opponents advances. Guerrero timed one of those advances late, in the opening round and sent Thomas reeling to the ropes from an overhand right. Guerrero tried to end it and was battering him in the closing seconds, but the bell to end the round temporarily saved him. (more…)

Yori Boy gets 98th win
By Ahmed Santos
In a fight that was turning into a war veteran former champion Luis Ramón "Yori Boy" Campas controversially defeated young power puncher Rogelio "Porky" Medina, in the main event of the card held at the Explanada Tecate of Navojoa, Sonora, México. The result ended in a TKO victory for the local fighter, "Yori Boy" (98-15-1, 77 KOs), who put down "Porky" (25-2, 19 KOs) with a punched that seemed clearly under the beltline, but the referee ruled it as good and started applying the count, and due to that he had to get up, with difficulty, and right after Campas jumped all over him and the third man in the ring acted again –prematurely, to call a halt to the duel, which was scheduled for 10 rounds at middleweight.

Immigrants and second-generation students who are children of immigrants confront a number of unique academic challenges, including limited proficiency in the host-country language and greater barriers in preparing for college and careers. Research here focuses on student educational attainment and in particular on English Language Learners (ELLs), who have persistent and wide achievement gaps with native English speakers. Adolescent ELLs face a greater workload, learning English at the same time they are studying core content areas in English—with resulting challenges in passing tests and completing graduation requirements.
In contrast to other European countries, the idea of "mainstreaming" immigrant integration policy has not caught on among policymakers in Germany. This report explores the history and recent trends of integration policy in Germany as well as obstacles facing policymakers moving forward.

Battle of the Undead, 1
"I am Britannia. I am your protector. I will fend off the hungry hordes of undead hands that reach toward you. I am your steadfast defender. I will stand between you and the zombie masses as they try to taste your flesh. I am strong, unyielding, and dedicated to your survival. All I ask from you… is your blood."
A 500 year bloody game of vengeance will need to be put on hold if vampires are to survive the zombie uprising. Bitter enemies, Britannia and Nicholas must work together to save un-infected humans, delivering them to a stronghold in Scotland.
Unable to drink the zombie blood, vampires need humans to stay alive. But will they tell the survivors who they are, and what they want from them? Will Britannia be able to hold back her vengeance? Is survivor Josh the reincarnation of Britannia's murdered true love? And can she bring herself to deliver him to the safe hold?
Survival instincts run deep, but bad blood can run deeper.
14+ for violence and adult situations
We ran to the hospital. On the way, we encountered hardly anyone, alive or dead. Where were they all? When we arrived at the hospital car park, I understood. Zombies were pack animals. A massive crowd of them were crammed in and around the main building like they were waiting for a concert to start, all barely paying attention to their surroundings and seemingly swaying against the force of gravity. The other thing was the smell. When watching horror films filled with shuffling zombies, the horror came from their ghastly looks—the reminder that death has a tight grip on us all, well, most of us. But what the filmmakers should focus on—if they could—was the acidic rank odor zombies gave off. They had been dead barely twenty-four hours. It took a normal human body at least thirty-six hours to really start to smell, and that was with a vampire's heightened senses. These guys smelled like they'd been out in the sun for three weeks covered in rubbish and besieged by wily maggots. They were mostly intact, though. Maybe this hospital had been Zombie Ground Zero. Most had turned so quickly their comrades hadn't had time to feed.
"Maybe we should try a less populated target." Nicholas twitched his nose and turned away from me to dry retch.
"Maybe you should grow a pair."
"Maybe you should act like a lady." He now had his hands on his hips, squaring up for yet another argument.
"Acting like a lady isn't going to help now, is it? What do you want me to do? Drop my handkerchief in front of the zombies and watch them fight one another to scoop it up for me? Moron!"
"Always to the 'nth degree with you, isn't it?"
"Shut up. Look, the doors are holding, and they're outside, not inside, which means there must be some people left in there alive to have barricaded this place so tight."
"Or maybe there are just more zombies in there."
"Well, there's definitely a blood bank in there, and that'll help matters no end!"
Nicholas looked thoughtful then nodded. He of course didn't want to actually say aloud that I'd had a good idea. "So, how do we get past them?"
I assumed it was a rhetorical question, so I started down to the car park entrance, where most of the zombies were mobbing. I opened the outer door as quietly as possible.
"Ladies first," Nicholas whispered in my ear.
"I thought we'd agreed I wasn't a lady." And with that, I shoved him as hard as I could into the throbbing throng of zombies.

For my Halloween special post this year, I was sent Bad Blood, an upper YA novel by Nicky Peacock, about vampires saving humans during the zombie apocalypse.
It might sound strange, and it is, but in the best way!
Britannia is a 450 year old vampire, turned without permission by Nicholas, a pompous vampire who fell in love with her and wanted to keep her with him for eternity. He even killed her fiancé.
She spent centuries hunting down his vampiric children, but now they must work together, because the vampire Elders need as many humans saved from the zombies as possible, or else vampires will starve.
But when the spitting image of her lost fiancé shows up, things get even stranger...
Young adult vampire novels are often cheesy. Young adult zombie novels are often pure violence and no story. Bad Blood is neither of those things. Think, Darren Shan and Poppy Z. Brite had a lovechild.
The story is a very quick read, very violent and very emotional. You get love, hate and every little thing in between. There are twists, but nothing too complex.
Britannia is a wonderful lead, with snark and depth. Nicholas is the perfect antagonist, and the supporting characters will imprint themselves in your memory.
My only problem here is, will we get another book about them? You won't want this story to end and you will ask yourself, "Why isn't this a movie?" Ms. Peacock has so much untapped potential here. I'm excited to read more from her.
Posted by Tracy on 21st Oct 2014
OMG this book is fan freaking tastic....
A shorter story than I was expecting, but the author didn't hold back, I was riveted, completely captivated by the story.
This is in no way your run of the mill doom and gloom vampire/zombie tale. In fact this book has plenty of action, adventure and laugh out loud moments! I mean calling a zombie cross vampire a zambie... Brilliant....
The world has been hit by a Zombie virus, Britannia a Scythe wielding kickass vampire along with her sire Nicholas set out to rescue as many human survivors as they can taking them to Scotland where the vampire elders have set up a strong hold. Brit and Nicholas have a feisty relationship and quite often end up butting heads.. wont give any spoilers, will just say READ IT !!
I really enjoyed this book the storyline was fast paced, addictive, with awesome characters. And I will be waiting ever so impatiently to read more about Brit, Nicholas and their companions to see what they get up to.
Recommend this book to all fans of YA/Paranormal. We all love a vampire story, well I sure do.. This one will be going into my favourites and re-reads..
* I received this book in exchange for an honest review*

I received a copy of Bad Blood for an honest review.
Oh no London has been taken over by zombies!!!
If any of you frequent the blog you know I love Vampire novels. Any vampire novel I can get a hold of I will read it no matter if I have read the story line before or not. Despite the fact that the main character is a vampire and my love of all things vampire I still was a tad hesitant about reading Bad Blood because the story also contained another supernatural creature I loath to read about or watch. Zombies. I hate all things zombies I think they are so yucky.
While the zombie thing was a tad putting off it did not stop me from tearing through this book in about a day. I loved Bad Blood! Britannia is such an amazing protagonist! She kicks major butt, has an awesome sense of humor, and despite her being hundreds of years old she is insanely relatable.
Zombies have taken over London after a virus hits full force. Britianna and her arch enemy and creator Nicolas are the only two vampire left and their job is to find any survining humans and bring them too the Elders. The problem? The zombies seem to have a ruler and that ruler is stronger than they were would have thought, and it's someone they know.
Loved this book! Ah so good. I couldn't put it down! Bad Blood is action packed with a semi love story but not really. I honestly loved it because the main character, she totally made this book for me and I would highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys vampire or zombies books and enjoys a kick ars adventure!
Thank you author Nicky Peacock for sending me this amazing book I honestly and truly enjoyed and appreciate it.
Posted by BookAngelRV on 6th Sep 2014
I really enjoyed this book. It is another vampire book but honestly I have enjoyed vampire books before they were popular, during and still to this day. This story also has my other favorite characters in it which is zombies.
The book starts out just before the zombie outbreak but jumps right into the action and the path to safety for not only the humans but the vampires also. There seems to be very few survivors of the zombie plague and unfortunately vampires can also be turned if bitten enough times or if you drink the zombie blood. There was a bit of a debate in this book about whether a vampire that has become a zombie should be called a zompire or vambie. Personally I have to side with Nicholas on this one and go with zompire because vambie does sound like a Disney character. By the end of the book they are still trying to get themselves and the survivors to safety so I am looking forward to the next book.
I really liked the conflict between Nicholas and Britannia. With all of their previous history I am curious if they will ever be able to atleast be civil to each other. Those two really helps to make the conflict in the story even better instead of just being a fight between zombies and vampires. They are able to unite together to fight against a common foe but then they go right back to fighting.
What I did not like was not really a big issue. I would have liked Britannia to stop being so blinded by the past and her hatred for Nicholas. However this also as stated above helped add a little depth to the story as well so kind of the fence about it. I think as we move along in the story we will get to see Britannia grow as a vampire already I see a little change in her.
All in all I really enjoyed reading this book and I will definitely be reading the next one.
*I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.*
Posted by vals_hemi on 6th Sep 2014
I loved it.. Not really into a Zombie Book, but because it had Vampires I gave it a try and wow.. really a fast paced action book for a short read. It comes down to Humans made a grave error in the science research and a virus is born. Can the vampires save themselves, and others?
I love the character of Britannia, head strong, fiesty, dominance. Takes no crap from her maker Nicholas which I find funny. He does put up with her testiness quite well. Philippe was a surprise... let me just say. I cant say to much cause I hate to give things away... but I definitely want to read more.. !! Bring it.

Nicky Peacock is an author I hadn't read before. My son bought her book and passed it to me. Despite my advanced age I'm still a Buffy and Angel fan although they are starting to look slightly "so two decades ago". Bad Blood introduced me to a new vampire heroine; she's feisty, tough and everyone loves a girl with blue hair and a root regrowth issue. Nicky Peacock writes good characters and wastes no time getting them into the action.
I'm looking forward to reading all Nicky's output - its light-hearted, tightly written and leaves me waiting for the next book breathlessly.

Motorola Talkabout walkie-talkies
Rugged, tough, rechargeable batteries included
Only two-mile radius
Getting out and about is one of the great charms of the summer, but then getting out and about can also mean that your mobile phone bill racks up as you try to keep in touch with friends also out and about whether it's a sponsored walk or a festival. In steps Motorola with the Talkabout walkie-talkie.
The pack consists of two units, two rechargeable batteries and a charger that, wait for it, allows you to charge both units at the same time. On the verge of embarking on a mammoth 100km walk for charity, we decided to put them to the test in a situation that was make or break over 24 hours. The Pocket-lint team took one while the support team took the other. The result over the day was very positive.
For a walkie-talkie and especially anyone who remembers the days of portable CB Radios, the units are small, light and robust. Through out the day the units got a beating, either by the British weather or by the sheer amount of use they got and at the end, not a scratch or a dent. The manual boasts roughly two miles of reception and on the whole across the hills of the South Down Way this was fairly accurate making it ideal for the team to talk to our support crew some 20-25 minutes out from the checkpoint.
So you don't get cross wired with someone else there are eight different preset channel frequencies to choose from and a further 38 interference eliminator codes to separate the signal further. Setting these up or changing mid-way through a conversation is and was easy and there were a couple of times when we got cross wired with someone else on the same frequency.
To alert the person at the other end the units come with a ring button and then communication is carried out via the standard walkie-talkie protocol of push to talk, then wait to listen.
In our test we started the day at seven in the morning - 12 checkpoints and 19.5 hours later and they were still going strong. One of the units was starting to lose power, but still we had given them a good run with plenty of liaising at each checkpoint and in between where possible.
So are they a five-minute wonder where you think you're on some secret mission and want to spout "Roger", "Over and out" or "Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Alpha, Romeo, Tango" all the time? Not in the slightest in fact, if you're planning any group event where you are all in the same vicinity, but apart this is a great tool for the job, whether you're walking stupid lengths across the countryside, going to the summer festivals or even skiing in the alps these are sure to be one gadget that comes in handy and the beauty of it all is that there is no price to pay once you've bought them - unlike the phone you really can rabbit on. Just remember to recharge them.

I just installed this theme and think it will work well as a starting point (yes, I always use a child theme), except for a few quirks with the mobile menu.
1. There is a link in the dropdown menu called "Navigation" which takes you to the home page. Why on earth is this here? And how can I remove it?
(I see that some people have asked this before and didn't get answers, but the links to their websites show they got it solved.)
2. Depending on the browser, an arrow will appear over the little blue menu lines. Is there any way for that not to happen?
I can't share my client's site, but both issues happen on just a regular install so go to http://wordpress.org/themes/attitude and make the window mobile size to see both issues.
