Well, it was a pretty emotional night, right?
Scarlett Johansson was among the celebrity speakers to precede President Barack Obama's rousing address Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. And while the actress stuck to the issues (specifically empowering the youth vote) at the podium, cameras revealed an unexpected man at her side in the stands: Jared Leto. Photos at E! show Johansson, 27, holding hands with actor-singer Leto, 40, a rumored fling from her past.
PHOTOS: Scarlett's romantic history
In other pics of the pair, Johansson leaned on his shoulder, gabbed animatedly, and took a few casual self-portraits at the momentous event.
But a rep for the "We Bought a Zoo" actress told E! there's nothing to the stunning twosome's affectionate outing.
PHOTOS: Scarlett and Ryan Reynolds, the way they were
"Scarlett is still dating Nate [Naylor]," her rep said. "This is very innocent. Scarlett and Jared have remained friends, nothing more, nothing less. Let's concentrate on the DNC and her speech, which is exponentially more important."
Johansson (who divorced Ryan Reynolds in late 2010 and dated Sean Penn in early 2011) and New York ad exec Naylor have been dating for nearly a year. They took a romantic vacation to Paris last month.
"In 2008, less than half of all eligible voters between the ages of 18 and 24 voted," Johansson said during her Thursday speech. "Young America, why are we only speaking with half our voice when so many issues at stake here directly affect us? You know who I'm voting for. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. I'm here to ask you to commit to vote."

Former Dover mayor James L. "Hutch" Hutchison Sr. announced this week that he will run for a seat on City Council in this year's municipal elections, to be held April 19.
Hutchison, will seek the 1st District seat being vacated by current council President Ken Hogan, who said several months ago that he won't try for reelection.
Also a former at-large councilman and Dover police chief, Hutchison served as mayor from 1994 until 2004.
Hutchison, 68, said in a press release he thinks the council needs more conservative voices.
"In 2001 the face of Dover City Council changed drastically because voters elected new council members with a conservative eye towards budgeting and spending," he said. "The face of council has changed since then and now it is time to once again, take a more conservative approach."
Hutchison, a Republican, ran for the 17th District Delaware Senate seat in 2008 but lost to Democrat Brian Bushweller.
Steve Speed, the former Dover mayor who campaigned unsuccessfully as a Republican for a Kent County Levy Court seat in the 2010 elections, praised Hutchison's candidacy.
"This is exciting news for the residents of the city of Dover," he said in a press release. "Hutch will be another fiscal watchdog for the citizens and bring his perspective, experience and leadership back to City Hall."
Hutchison is the third candidate to file for the non-partisan city elections, joining 3rd District candidate Pastor Howard Earle and 2nd District candidate William F. Hare.
One of the two council seats in each of the four city districts, plus the at-large seat, are up for election.
In addition to Hogan, 3rd District Councilman Jim McGiffin also has said he will not seek reelection.
Sitting council members who have yet to file for reelection include Gene Ruane, 2nd District; Reuben Salters, 4th District; and Tom Leary, at-large.

Bright future
If you want to look at the foundation the Stars are building, it's definitely in the young, skilled players on the team. Their four top scorers are 24 or younger, and those four are accounting for the majority of point production on the team. Captain Jamie Benn is 24 and just made Canada's Olympic team. Tyler Seguin leads the team in scoring and is 21. Valeri Nichushkin and Alex Chiasson are candidates for rookie of the year and are 18 and 23 respectively.

It's 2027. Revolutionary advancements in science allow the augmentation of human beings with mechanical neuro-prostheses and limb replacements that allow for enhanced physical and mental abilities. Who wouldn't want to be super-human?
As with most human vices there is a downside; the body rejects these enhancements making Neuropozine, a controversial and expensive drug that prevents that corporal upheaval, a lifetime requirement.
Sarif Industries, headquartered in revitalized Detroit is a leader in human augmentation research and development. On the eve of presenting groundbreaking new research, the research laboratory is savagely attacked by augmented soldiers leaving many of its key research personnel dead. The slick, gravelly-voiced Adam Jensen, ex-SWAT leader and newly-recruited head of Sarif's security is left critically wounded. 9.3/10

I would say that someone would have to be of low intelligence to pollute his Google account. Of course, you will see loads of new accounts popping up immediately from the same IPs, so I would assume Google may value older accounts more than newer ones. Of course, this is just a guess. But I will definitely keep my eyes on this, because the best way IMO for a search engine to measure quality is by who puts his name behind it. So there will most likely be some algorithm that assigns rank to Google profiles. And no, I do not believe it is based on the amount of followers (at least not exclusively), but rather history, verified ownership, influence and overall quality of sites listed.

Nigel Hamilton's Books
The Mantle of Command: FDR at War, 1941-1942
(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 528 pages) Order the book from Amazon.com
About The Mantle of Command
Hamilton conducted research using the president's own notes and interviewed Roosevelt family members and surviving presidential aides in writing this first volume of a two-volume set. Recounting stories of opposing opinions from allies like Winston Churchill and FDR's own military advisors, the biography depicts 14 key periods in the first two years of the war that demonstrate Roosevelt's tactical genus in selecting personnel and planning military tactics.
Publishers Weekly praises the book as "a definitive volume on this aspect of Roosevelt's career and essential reading for anyone interested in WWII, the Roosevelt Presidency, and presidential leadership."
Critics at the Library Journal also gave the biography a starred review. "This convincingly written and gripping volume is essential for historians, political scientists, and history buffs, for a deeper understanding of the principle of civilian supremacy of the military in the U.S. political system."
Hamilton is currently working on the second volume, Commander in Chief: FDR at War, 1943-1945.
AMERICAN CAESARS: Lives of the Presidents, From Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush
Yale University Press, 624 pages. Order the book from Amazon.com
About American Caesars
Modeled on one of the most famous histories of ancient Rome (Suetonius' The Twelve Caesars penned in 200 BC), Nigel Hamilton's new book, American Caesars, looks afresh at the lives and careers of the twelve leaders of the American empire since World War II, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush.
One by one, Hamilton relates and examines the presidents' unique characteristics,their paths to Pennsylvania Avenue,their effectiveness as global leaders, and their lessons in governance, both good and bad. With uncompromising candor he looks at how these powerful men responded to the challenges that defined their presidencies, including FDR's role as a war leader, Harry Truman's decision to mount a Berlin Airlift, Lyndon Johnson's controversial Civil Rights legislation and war in Vietnam, Jimmy Carter's handling of the Iran hostage crisis, Bush Senior 's effectiveness during the collapse of the Soviet Union, and George W's fateful invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
In the Suetonian manner, Hamilton also looks at the presidents' private lives—some noble, some flawed, some deeply moving.
In this essential book for our times, Hamilton strips away myths and wishful thinking to record our most recent presidents as they really were: leaders guiding the fortunes of an unruly empire, on a world stage. In its scope, clarity, readability, and empathy, American Caesars is destined to become a modern classic.

- Bill Clinton: Mastering the Presidency (2007)
"Hamilton ably illustrates Clinton's strengths and weaknesses as a leader, how he thrived whenever the occasion called for him to inspire or commiserate, and how time and again his failures could be traced to what Hamilton calls his 'inability to function as a manager of men and women in a structured environment.'" – Washington Post Book World Book description and order form
- Biography: A Brief History (2007)
" This zesty romp through millennia of biographical portraits comes from the pen of a master biographer (JFK: Reckless Youth). Hamilton's a friendly spectator to his own art, undaunted by its age, variety or the number and skill of the practitioners who've gone before him...It's hard to think of a better introduction to one of the most popular genres of literature and art today." - Publishers Weekly Book description and order information

COSTA MESA Braeden Stack already had one interception. As soon as he saw the ball coming his way again, he knew he had a shot at another.
As it came down, he brought it in like a receiver, intercepting his second pass of the first half to set up Calvary Chapel in Saddleback territory.
Stack, a sophomore, scored two touchdowns to go with his two interceptions, as Calvary Chapel kept rolling. Seven players reached the end zone for the Eagles as they pummeled the Roadrunners, 63-6, in an Orange Coast League game at Estancia High School on Thursday. In addition to Stack's two-way play, quarterback Danny Mattero threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns and intercepted a pass.
The big victory came on homecoming night for the Eagles (6-1, 2-0), the first homecoming triumph for any of Calvary Chapel's players.
Calvary Chapel fell to Saddleback (0-7, 0-2) by one point last year. Isiah Franks rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries for Saddleback.

Only, if the people involved, allow the frustration of separation and distance affect them
They can, and they don't lessen love. Communication issues is just one of the challenges of long distance relationships, you lose the advantages of non-verbal cues you'd normally give each other when interacting with each other.
yes it is possible that it can lead to frustrated fights but it does not always follow that your love for each other is lessened. it is up to both of you to strengthen your relationship inspite of the distance. if you truly love each other and if it is really meant to be then it will work out. also, consider that frustrated fights can lead to a realization that you really love the person or that you love him / her more after the frustrated fight...
Yes & Yes --two people in love can be calmly talking and all at once some thing is said and an argument is started and neither person is really sure why, but the frustration of being away from each other can add to the stress that might of created the fight. (and) to many fights can weaken the heart which in turn can stop the love from flowing.

How can we represent the complexity of migrants' trajectories within the global sex industry? How can we give voice to migrants while protecting their identities? How can we interrogate the politics of victimhood in representations of all migrant sex workers as either victims or villains within hegemonic fictions and documentaries on sex trafficking?
These issues and questions are at the core of Normal, a 48 minute creative documentary that brings the life stories of male, female and transgender migrants working in the sex industry to the screen. Drawing on original interviews with people working in the sex industry in Albania, Italy and the UK, documentary director and ethnographer Nicola Mai reveals their unheard stories. The viewer is continually challenged by their words, their dreams and the lives that they lead.
Nicola Mai is an Italian ethnographer and filmmaker working as Professor of Sociology and Migration Studies at the Working Lives Research Institute of London Metropolitan University and at LAMES - the Mediterranean Laboratory of Sociology of Aix-Marseille University. His academic writing and films focus on the experiences and perspectives of migrants selling sex and love in the globalized sex industry in order to live their lives.

BRA boys at ho'okipa
A Windsurfing video by umi_pictures - 1,587 views
If you spend any time watching at Ho'okipa it is clear the locals really rule. Levi, Graham, Mark... they know the break and charge it. But after standing on the hill for hours and hours it became clear that the Brazilians really push the locals. Kauli is pretty much a local and kicks arse at any break he sails at from Pozo to Punta Preta. Ricardo is just radical, he can pull the sickest ride without any warning after stuffing the previous few waves. And Marcilio has made Maui his home and is one of the trick masters on the water; he is so confident and consistent it's insane. When the Brazilians roll into town it really hots things up; not only do they rip but they force everyone else to step up their game. So here is our film showing them playing in someone else's backyard - Brazilian style!

As I predicted, Collingwood Council officially closed the town to business, growth and development, last Monday night. And just for good measure, council sprinkled the ground with the salt of malice, just to further deter a particular developer from building here. Which sends a message to everyone about how this town respects and values development.
Anyone who doesn't think this is about ideology or doesn't know this is a personal and petty vendetta hasn't been paying attention to local politics this past decade.
The process of closing our municipal doors to business started earlier this year when council raised our taxes and our water rates while voting themselves a pay hike – knowing full well this would hurt our businesses and seniors. But hey, they got a raise, so what do they care? And they tossed $40,000 of your money to councillor Jeffrey so she could party hearty out of town. She deserves warm camembert and caviar while cavorting around the country, doesn't she?
Then, the development and operations standing committee voted to defer the sale of the weed-infested, near-waterfront property known as Block 9 until the end of the Age of Mammals or thereabouts. After that, all but two members of our bobblehead council agreed to the deferral.
According to the story in the Connection:
"We defer selling the property or making the decisions with regards to selling the property until the completion of the waterfront master plan and the waterfront master plan will be started in accordance with the direction from council," said planner Nancy Farrer. "We anticipate that it will be started as soon as the strategic plan is finished."
That strategic plan is the one Deputy Mayor Brian Saunderson promised sincerely he would have in the public's hands within the first 90 days of this term (it's been 209 days now and counting…). The plan has nothing to do with individual property sales or micromanaging town resources. The mandate for it didn't even mention the waterfront master plan. And don't expect to see anything from the committee until very late 2015 at the earliest.
Since council – rather cunningly – hasn't even raised this nebulous "waterfront master plan" as a project for 2015, it won't even get started until mid-2016 at the soonest. If the delays in the strategic plan are any example of council's dithering, the waterfront plan will be delayed for many more months, if not years. If it ever arrives…
There is no logical reason to assume the fabled waterfront plan will get started immediately after the strategic plan is complete. It's far more realistic to assume any development and growth in town will be delayed until the invisible pink unicorns arrive – because council can continue to use it as an excuse to avoid making decisions and hampering growth.

22 Steps to the Sea Two years ago, I set off on a photographic journey along the Texas Gulf coast. Working with the following idea, I planned to spend at least six weeks traveling the coastline. "Humans have long been drawn to the sea. The ever-changing landscapes combined with the ever-changing lights seem to evoke emotion that's unique. This project explores the relationship between the sea and those who choose to live by it. On one hand, humans seem to have the upper hand, building roads that wind along the coast, staking our claim to the very edge of land that we considered as rightfully ours. The desire to be close to the sea has drawn thousands of people to live there, spawning housing development after housing development. Motels and RV parks are built to accommodate the huge influx of tourists. Various industries have also taken advantage of the easy transport links and the easily accessed waste disposal. But on the other hand, nature is dictating our every move. The very road that allows us to get close to the sea is shaped by nature herself. We try everything to stop her from claiming it back while constantly looking to expand. Houses have to be built to withstand the erosion and storms that come with living on the coast. Every year, many buildings are destroyed and abandoned. The images are taken along the coastal roads on the Texas Gulf Coast. One of the fastest corroding coastlines, allegedly caused by the river diversions carried out by the oil refineries. The photographs in the series were taken along the coastal road, 22 steps to the sea." After 2 weeks, I cut the trip short. In the 16 days that I was shooting, I was stopped on 12 different occasions by the Coast Guard, Homeland Security, Police, Fire Departments and a number of private security firms. All citing national security and terrorist threat as the reason I have to pack up and move on. I was asked whether I have ever worked for Al-Jezzera and was told that since I had been flagged on more than 3 occasions, a report would have been generated to the FBI. That was enough to put me off the project. Two years later, I have decided to retrace my trip, on Google map.

Looking through my family photographs, apart from the customary family portraits in front of the same Christmas Trees and behind birthday cakes, most of the photos taken of me, my brother and my sisters were during our daytrips out at various parks. I have just a few memories of these pictures being taken. However, I still have such vivid memories of all the parks we used to go to. The penguin bins, the bumper cars, the trains and the ice cream stalls are all so clear in my mind, little snippets of memories that make up my childhood. Sadly, nearly all of these parks have long since disappeared, forever living only as memories. This project explores similar recreational spaces found in China. In 1958, at the beginning of 'The Great Leap Forward', when private ownership was banned, many existing parks were renovated and new parks were built all across China for the people, many were renamed People's Parks. Over the years, they became main focal points of the cities, where families have their outings and couples meet. Children's amusement parks and Zoos were often built within these parks to provide entertainment for the local children. China is changing at a staggering pace, the economic miracle means that the Chinese are enjoying a much more affluent lifestyle. Shopping and Internet have replaced bumper cars and Ferris wheels. Many of these parks have fallen to disarray. However, many workers are still employed by the government to upkeep these parks and they remain open for the people. Millions of older Chinese would have grown up with these parks and have memories of time spent in them. Just like the parks, their memories are slowly fading away with time. Like the family photos I have, the photographs in the series act as a record of memories that may soon disappear entirely, along with the People's Parks.

 'Life was hard when the waters around here was full of fish, now that all the fish has gone, life is almost impossible.' Situated on the Eastern Coast of Canada, Labrador is one of the most isolated places on Earth. The Flat Earth Society believes it to be one of the four corners of the world. A mere 12,000 people populate 670 miles of coastline, which is frozen solid for six months a year. The Cod Moratorium in 1992 pretty much killed the fishing industry, many young people left to find jobs elsewhere. The Inuit and Innu nomadic cultures are on the brink of extinction, caused initially by the government's settlement programme, alcoholism is killing what remaining hope there is. The departure of the Nato forces also spelled the end of the busy Air Base and the town that built up around it. This project is a visual journey along the coast of Labrador. The photographs are places where memories were made and people who are left behind to battle on.

Saracen Bay Resort
Seaside chic
What we say:
Saracen Bay Resort has a run of impeccably clean bungalows situated on the sand and spaced out well. They're at the northern end of the bay creating greater privacy, though a couple of other properties -- Rumi and Freedom Island -- are reached on a separate part of the bay via a trail by the overwater restaurant, so a small amount of footfall passing by could be expected. Carefully designed and located, they are one of the top picks on the island for comfort while still representing value for money. The bungalows have three-tier roofs, with thatch for aesthetics inside and out sandwiching metal for rain and insect protection. Mosquito screens allow in light while keeping the little biters away. The tiled bedroom has a comfy bed with a princess mosquito net, a wardrobe, table and fan, while big windows lead onto a large shaded veranda fronting the beach. White painted walls give a less rustic feeling to the bedroom interiors. The sparklingly pristine bathrooms come with flush toilets and big showers. The elevated deck restaurant protrudes over the water and won't be heard from the bungalows -- even the generator is discreetly placed to reduce noise. The restaurant attracts guests from outside too for the setting. Given the high standards and associated prices, customers tend to be older couples on romantic escapes, creating their very own fantasy island experience. By bungalow standards on Cambodia's islands, Saracen Bay Resort is very well priced for what you get. In the same price bracket is Lazy Beach which provides much more rustic bungalows but a private beach. Comfier and costlier alternatives this side of the island include Secret Paradise Resort, Paradise Bungalows – The Villas, or one of the premium bungalows at The Beach.

El Escorial Monastery and the Valley of the Fallen from Madrid
- View all photos
Location: Madrid, Spain
El Escorial Monastery and the Valley of the Fallen from Madrid
Experience the grandeur of Spain on a guided half-day visit to El Escorial monastery and the Valley of the Fallen monument from Madrid. Discover why the Baroque-style El Escorial complex was considered the eighth wonder of the world, and admire the poignant sculptures of the Valley of the Fallen monument, erected in memory of the millions who died in the Spanish Civil War. You'll gain insights into Spain's intriguing history at these symbolic monuments, reflecting the Spanish monarchy, church and 20th-century conflict, and have the option to include a half-day city tour of the highlights of Madrid.
What You Can Expect
Departing Madrid by air-conditioned coach, travel to the Royal Seat of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, the Spanish monarchs' historical residence and royal monastery, 28 miles (45 kilometers) northwest of Madrid. Your guided tour reveals the history behind this massive, regal complex of buildings, celebrated for their architectural perfection and a striking symbol of 16th-century Spanish power.
Your tour of the World Heritage-listed royal complex takes you to the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo El Real, built by King Philip II to house the remains of his parents, Charles I and Isabella of Portugal. The tour guides you through the monastery's basilica, with its important religious relics, highly decorated altar and Baroque dome inspired by St Peter's in Rome.
Your guided tour of El Escorial also takes you to the austere but grand palace and the royal mausoleum known as the Pantheon of Kings, home to the marble tomb of Charles V, the first king of Spain. For insights into the construction of El Escorial, browse the Architecture Room's collection of architects' and builders' equipment dating back hundreds of years. Visit the Weapons Room to see ornate armaments, and admire painted frescoes in the highly decorated library.
Your tour continues from El Escorial to the Valley of the fallen, 6 miles (9.5 kilometers) to the north. Admire the vast basilica built into the side of a mountain, topped by a gigantic granite cross that towers 150 meters (500 feet) high and dominates the landscape. The monument was built by the Spanish dictator General Franco to commemorate the dead of Spain's Civil War.
Take a guided tour inside the austerely modern basilica, with its vaulted crypt and sculpted angels, then look out from the surrounding esplanade of arches to admire the spectacular valley countryside surrounding the complex.
Relax on the scenic return journey to Madrid, where your tour ends in the early afternoon, or where you'll continue your day of sightseeing on a guided 2.5 hour city tour highlighting Madrid's famous monuments and landmarks (if upgrade option selected).

Beverley G
Wonderful tour. Valley of the Fallen was exceptional.
Sandra B
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend.
Robbert S
The drive was narreted and at el escorial de group was split in english or spanish speakers. Be reminded no photos inside, the same goes for valley of the fallen. The sights are worth of a daytrip
Margaret C
Everything was great the guide was pleasant and professional. The tour left on time and came back on time. The bus transportation was clean and comfortable. Terrific and interesting tour well worth the visit.
John C
Excellent organisation, transport and guide. Trip represents good value for money. Happy to use aviator again.
Rocky L
Interesting learning about my Spanish background.Our guide spoke great English and was very friendly and informatative.
Elaine H
The trip and tour guide were very good. The landscape is very picturesque and both the monastery and the tomb of Franco are well worth visiting.
Nyamisi J. M
So much history!!!! I learned a great deal about the Spanish Civil War.
Richard M
The tour was excellent. The location was convenient and easy to find. The bus was very comfortable. The tour guide was excellent. Well educated, friendly, helpful. We had a wonderful time. Hard to imagine visiting Madrid without experiencing this monument. No better way to do it.
Loretta S
Excellent very informative.
Clara K
Awesome must see
Enjoyed both parts of the Escorial and
Valley of the Fallen tours. We did tack on the 3 hour tour of Madrid in the afternoon. That was not as good as the hop off and on tours
Well worth doing. Excellent guide and informative. Franco's basilica at Valley of the Fallen very disturbing but a must see. Hard to imagine that people actually worship in this austere forbidding environment. Would be a much too long day to add Toledo onto the afternoon.
Lucy C
Great tour. Learnt so much more about El Escorial. Would have been nice to have a little more 'free' time after the tour of the monastery. Valley of the Fallen moving, as always. Excellent, knowledgeable guide and good clean transport.
Larisa G
This is a trip worth taking. You can see the enormous cross on the mountain at the Valley of the Fallen from a great distance, and the basilica is built into the mountain and very unique. Our guide was Claudia, and she had Spanish, English, and French tourists to keep informed. She handled it like the professional she is and could go from Spanish to English to French without hesitation. This trip also included the El Escorial Monastery, which is still in use as a monastery and a school. The highlight there was the room where the former kings and queens of Spain are laid to rest though the entire tour was enlightening and enjoyable.
Lisa R
Our guide, Sofia, was extremely knowledgeable and brought the history to life. She let us know what was coming up and how long each part of the tour would take. I highly recommend this tour to others and only wish we had more time in Madrid to take another one!
Joanna N
An excellent tour and highly recommended.
Russell S
Wonderful trip. The guide was great. Would highly recommend.
Vincent E
Loved this trip, very informative, and tour guide was great.

Horrible service, unfriendly staff, high prices. That about sums this place up. OH, and do NOT try and use a coupon -- they will hassle with you as much as they can to make sure you do NOT get to use it.
Jennifer from Sparr in Wildwood Fl.
by Rick Bailey , 03/07/2014
I have shopped at this store on several ocassions and have never had any concerns with the staff or products very well stocked store. A few weeks ago I began thinking about buying some cross ties. I spoke to one of the ladies at the register she gave me the price buy was not sure of what the delivery charge would and since I was not buying them at that time I asked her to have some one call with that information. Early the next day I recieved that call so I then began to plan when I would need them. When I called back to the store I spoke to Jennifer we set up a date to have the cross ties delivered. Jennifer Called me 4 days before they were suppose to get there and said we have a opening today (03/07/2014) would you like them early than we planned I said yes I than met with Jennifer at the store very easy to work with,a wonderful smile and very good at Customer Satifaction she was working with J B I believe. there both very good at there job. Jennifer Thank you for your outstanding service I am very glad to have met you and hope we will do business in the future. Your my Employee of the month
Great Place To Shop For Home Or Pet Food

I like the variety of natural pet food at Sparr. I have also bought fertilizer for my plants. I like the selection of household and gardening items. I go here at least once a week. They offer a military discount.
I love this store
by Happy customer , 10/16/2013
The people who wrote the bad reviews must have them confused with another store. I have had nothing but great service from their staff. I have been going here for years and never had any problems. I am in there almost everyday and would go here before anywhere else.
This place is a joke!
by Megan , 10/14/2013
If I could give this place negative stars I would!! What a joke we special ordered material that took 3 weeks to arrive and when it gets here it's the completely wrong product !! Not to mention it took 3 weeks to arrive. The correct product was ordered and when it arrived not only was it damaged but the employees and manager were very rude and basically told us sorry about your luck. I have spent thousands of dollars at this store and If I could is take every penny back what a terrible place. So much for customers these people are so stuck on themselves they basically attacked my husband and I! Never shop here!
by HappyCustomer , 09/25/2013
Horrible place to go, horrible service, horrible employees, just plain TERRIBLE. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

You Got to be Kidding Me
by Very Unhappy Customer , 09/19/2011
Apparently the other two reviews were written by the staff at Sparr because the store in Wildwood has the most inconsiderate and arrogant female staff I have ever encountered, even if you can get them to waddle over to help you the first thing they do is sigh, I guess asking for help or advice is well beyond there educational background. Shop anywhere else you can, you will get better service, better price and excellent advice and knowledge from anyone else.

Novel Novella Novella Short Stories
Read about WALKING ON RIPPLES in The Irish Times: https://lnkd.in/dDB4Zz5
WALKING ON RIPPLES is now available for purchase from this site for 18 euro (post & packing included). To find out how to order a copy send an email to dmbc(at)gofree(dot)indigo(dot)ie and I will get back to you. The book is featured in the new 2015 edition of the annual Cork Holly Bough published just this week. The feature consists of photos and a large extract from the final chapter – a chapter which has cast a spell over many people. I have been asked by radio interviewers and newspaper editors, as well as general readers via email, if the incident described in this final chapter is true or not. My answer to them is to say: let the reader make up his or her own mind as to whether it's fact or fiction. Yes, I'm sitting firmly on the fence on that one! The book is, of course, still available from the publisher Liffey Press and selected bookshops.
In other news a new short story of mine, a supernatural tale called "The Street", has been bought by the long-established American magazine Space And Time and will appear in due course. And more good news: Season 5 of Homeland is as fine as ever, and the second series of the French language production The Returned is proving to be equally compelling.
Hilary Mantel's much praised short story collection THE ASSASSINATION OF MARGARET THATCHER first saw light of day in September 2014, but I only got around to reading it recently. Like many others I was drawn by the intriguing title story and could no longer resist reading it. Who would not want to discover how Thatcher gets her comeuppance, or at least be mildly curious about how such fictional death is achieved? My opinion of Mantel's collection is now up on the Book Reviews page above and that review might also be broadcast on the radio over the coming weeks.
The perilous state of publishing came to light again at the end of last month in an interesting Irish Times article by Fiona O'Connor. The Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society states that writers' incomes have taken a nosedive. Average earnings of established professional authors amount to £11,000, down by almost a third since 2005. The average for all writers comes in at less than £4,000 and has been declining annually. By contrast, book output is rising. In 2014/15 the British and Irish publishing turnover was £4.6 billion, up from £3 billion in 2013. So how come turnover is up and incomes are down? You figure out the maths, but clearly writers are being squeezed by the corporations and conglomerates that have taken over the industry. Consider the following: You cannot compete with gold-embossed titles and big names. You are non-commercial. Your only option is to be a one-man (or woman) publicist, distributor, agent, stockist, marketer and Jack-of-all-trades. You will have to interface with the increasingly hostile retail trade. Disappointment may be in store, if you'll pardon the pun. As for the chains and bigger stores, genuine book-loving people who work in these palaces of neon-lit, gaudy-covered, best-selling covers no longer have the authority to make decisions about what to put on the shelves. It's all homogenised, stultifying, hive-minded, moneyed titles coming down on high from faceless men and women in suits, marketers and accountants. Big bookshops have become like commercial radio-stations with ever-constricting and predictable play-lists. It's all about turnover and product. When did I write that? Ten years ago. Those italicised words of mine were first published in a March 2006 article. Things have obviously got worse since then.
The Roscommon reading of WALKING ON RIPPLES draws near. The book will feature in Mattimoes of Boyle, on Tuesday week, July 28 at 4 pm as part of the Arts Festival. The first draft of what might turn out to be the follow-up book, a new novel, is now complete and at second draft stage. A lot of hard work still to be done on it, which is great for taking the mind off bad weather and bad politics.
The people of Greece, who democratically elected an anti-austerity government, and then copper-fastened that decision by overwhelmingly rejecting austerity in the recent referendum, are now having austerity rammed down their throats by the EU – so much for democracy in Greece. What does the 'E' in EU stand for? It all smacks of Empire, doesn't it, trampling over the expressed wishes of a small peripheral country. Our pale excuse for a finance minister, a citizen of another small peripheral country on the far edge of Europe from Greece, yesterday described the holding of that Greek referendum as a 'disastrous political decision' – so much for democracy in the EU. The neo-liberals are in charge of the asylum and they are shrieking. Enough politics, back to the writing …
Why am I not one bit surprised by our government's harsh approach to the current economic crisis in Greece? The Irish leader and his finance minister have both adopted a hard-line attitude against the democratically-mandated Greek government's bid to engineer a debt write-down for its people, many of whom are living through a humanitarian crisis in their homeland. But then, our finance minister is the same man who, in 2011 when speaking of what 'we' owed to the bondholders in the middle of our crisis, said that the Irish taxpayer (ie us ordinary Joes) would 'honour their debt to the last red cent' – the debt being what was owed to the bondholders and the EU banks by our out-of-control and unregulated financial institutions. One would hardly expect our government to change tack now. That would put credibility at home and (more importantly) in Europe, in danger.
To hear these two poodles cosy up to the ECB, the IMF and Angela Merkel by touting this über-capitalist viewpoint, is worrying. It confirms that our governing party in Ireland is one that backs big business and the interests of the wealthy above the welfare of the common people. After all, the Greeks had the temerity to suggest imposing taxes on commercial stakeholders and the well-off rather than making the ordinary citizen fork up to bail out the bondholders and the banks. That goes against the grain of our government and the EU, both of which clearly have no real social concerns at heart. The self-interest of big business and making money are their priorities. What we (and the Greeks and the rest of the EU) badly need is a more socially aware, and humane, approach. But we're hardly likely to get that any time soon. We live in a time, and in a culture, that is dominated by greed and the generation of profit at the expense of more important values. We are all expected to sing off the same laissez-faire hymn-sheet, to be good lap-dogs just like our leader and his minister.
Bad weather can be a good thing, especially if you're a writer. The delayed arrival of our summer (if it ever comes at all) has meant that, instead of outdoor pursuits, I've been going full tilt at a new book. A novel. Not science fiction. Mainstream. Irish. Set partly in the nineteenth century though most of it is present day. About three quarter ways through the first draft at the moment. Looking at the forecast makes me think I'll have plenty of indoor time to tackle the rest of it.
Another reading coming up next month: Tuesday July 28 to be exact, in Mattimoes of Boyle, County Roscommon. The time of the reading is set for 4 pm. The event is part of Boyle Arts Festival. With the Tuesday being in the middle of festival week plus the fact that a lot of people will be on holidays anyway, I'm hoping a good crowd will turn up to be regaled with various extracts – from WALKING ON RIPPLES, of course!
Great to hear that the old Seven Towers Last Wednesday readings & open-mic nights have been revived, and named the Sunflower Sessions in honour of the late Sarah Lundberg. The next event will take place upstairs in Jack Nealon's pub, 165 Capel Street Dublin, on the last Wednesday of this month – April 29 at 7.30 pm. I'll do a reading from WALKING ON RIPPLES in Nealon's and will also read from that book at the Ballymaloe Literary Festival of Food & Wine taking place this year from May 15-17. My reading spot at the East Cork event is scheduled for 12.00 pm on Saturday May 16 in the Garden Tent. As well as a general reading I will of course include the book's one and only secret recipe – delicious instructions on how to prepare and cook a salty sea sprat.
The promised Seascapes interview goes out on RTE Radio One between 10.30 and 11 pm on Friday night March 27. All to the good as far as WALKING ON RIPPLES is concerned – the broadcast should help get things motoring in terms of spring sales (twice in January the book entered one of Amazon's Top 30 lists, but only for a brief visit each time). A further boost now would keep things ticking over nicely. Seascapes will be available as a podcast on the RTE site for those who miss the broadcast. On a related note, the LMFM interview (all of nearly twenty minutes) is still available for download on the LMFM site. Just go to the Late Lunch podcasts and click on the December 15 show.
Another excellent review, this in the Spring 2015 issue of Irish Country Sports & Country Life magazine, under the sub heading WALKING ON RIPPLES is NOT your average angling book – dip into it and you're caught like a fly in a spider's web. The article, spread over a generous three pages, contains a number of extensive extracts from the text accompanied by these kind comments: "… we glide between fact and fiction and cannot help but wonder where, if anywhere, is there a crossover point. Yes, this chapter is fiction, we know that. But what a tale is woven; we are wrapped like a spider's fly. Only an angling thread reminds us that this is an angling book; we use that thread to move from what might be an uncomfortable world into the light again. An allegory for angling itself? After a while I forgot to separate the fact from the fiction; I didn't care as the writing is addictive and, like a well-taken fly, I was hooked."
The book should also feature on RTE's Seascapes programme one of these Friday nights. An interview, conducted by Marcus Connaughton, is already in the can so should go out soon.
A good review of WALKING ON RIPPLES has appeared in the January 2015 edition (#466) of the renowned UK magazine Trout Fisherman, where Jeffrey Prest writes under the heading An Engrossing Stroll Through Irish Angling:
"Irish short story writer David Murphy applies a literary flourish to angling in his homeland, in this eclectic book that mixes real-life essays on game and saltwater fishing with several short stories. The book's flap-notes have it spot-on where the overall effect of this blend is concerned –"part fiction, part memoir, part travelogue – this is not a dry fishing manual full of technical jargon but a lyrical tribute to the angling life." It's a book upon which I seized with particular relish because I have unfinished business where the defining book on Irish fishing – the soul of it rather than the mere technical nuts and bolts – is concerned. I thought Dennis Moss had come up with it in IRISH RISE four years ago but the wording and image on its cover proved deceptive; this was a nuts and bolts job, albeit a very good one. Would David Murphy be the man to convey the mood of what it means to fish 'across the water'? Almost, it turns out. Certainly, you get a sense of place – I know now that Tramore is the Republic's Skegness ("vinegar-strewn chippers and gougers on the loose for their annual week") or that Donegal loughs are "the most alluringly beautiful and stunning of Ireland's fishing secrets." All the book lacks is more characters – a genuine cross-section of men and women whose words and thoughts collectively offer an insight into what makes Ireland's anglers tick. But that's just my bias and not one that should deter you from buying one of the better angling books I've read this year. Murphy has a vivid turn of phrase ("Great to be back in sacred, spiritual places where … ghosts of history abound, trout rise and sons and daughters speak") and his short stories are masterly, their darkness gradually unfolding, like a cinematic villain stepping slowly from the shadows."

There's no obvious way to contact you through the website, so just thought I'd let you know that I have in fact reviewed your book, Bird of Prey, for the BFS (British Fantasy Society) — I sent it in a few weeks back but have no idea when it'll finally appear on the website, so please accept my apologies for that. Fingers crossed, it;ll appear some time soon.
Keep up the good work,

The best-laid plans of Lenin and Trotsky are thwarted
Jul 21, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 42 • By J. P. O'MALLEY
The revolutionaries, fighting a Communist war masquerading as a nationalist one, would then be led through Afghanistan and across the frontier into British India. Yet it was a small network of enormously capable British spies, placed in the bleak, remote mountain ranges of Russian Central Asia, that prevented the plan from materializing into a reality.
Milton's strength as a storyteller lies in his ability to whisk the reader along at the pace of a thriller. But it can be a dangerous game when the historian is on the outlook for drama. When Milton tells us that "there was no other option but to rest the fate of the Western world upon the shoulders of a small but highly trained group of secret agents," the reader feels instantly patronized. Still, this is a valuable contribution to the history of the Russian revolution—and a welcome revival of interest in a largely forgotten episode.
J. P. O'Malley is a writer in London.

15 months still in 9% for weight
I don't know that I would be worried unless he keeps slipping off the charts. But I remember when my son was 15 months he kind of dipped down - he'd been at a steady 90% since birth (big guy) and at 15 months he fell down to about the 60th percentile. Now he's three years old and is back in the 75th percentile. I think their size ebbs and flows and unless he stops growing, the percentile really is just comparing him to other babies his age.

Like PP said, as long as he's not slipping in percentiles a ton, and as long as he's not losing weight, I wouldn't worry about it. Breastmilk is very rich and nutrient-dense, so BFing less would likely just exacerbate any weight issues (which I'm not sure there really is a weight issue to begin with...)
I woulodnt be woried as long as he is steadily gaining weight. Every one likes to blam breast milk for lack of weight gain they tend to forget that most of these children if you cut out the breast feeding still wouldnt eat a lot. Some kids just are not big eaters. My son on the other and loves the breast, eats you out of house and home and still is not a chubby baby :) What Im i supposed to do? Just do what you think is best.
How big are you and dh? If you are slender, then its only natural for your ds to be as well. 21 1/2lbs at 15 months sounds just fine.
My odd was 7lbs 10oz at birth. At 6 months she was up to 17lbs 11oz. But at 12 months she was only 18lbs 8oz. Yes she was skinny. But also very active and healthy. She takes after dh, so it was just natural for her to be thin. She is now 15 and is normal in height and weight and is no longer so skinny.

Married 18yrs to my Brian-I am a twin!
On the WHO chart my YDD is just barely under the 15th percentile, she is 23m (today!) and she is just above 22lbs.
As long as she is thriving a gaining, albeit, slowly, then its OK with me.

Ounce for ounce, breastmilk is really high in fat and protein. Chances are, if your LO was filling his belly with other things instead, he might grow less! And I agree with PP who said someone has to be in the 9th percentile. It's not like first or second percentile!

(My DD is almost 15 mo but not walking yet and has actually increased percentiles each appointment since 6 mo which is the opposite of what I expected.)

The pairing of peanut butter and chocolate never disappoints, especially when its Betty Crocker SuperMoist yellow cake made with peanut butter and topped with chocolate frosting.
To make a thinner cake, use a 15x10x1-inch pan and reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.
To add even more peanut butter and chocolate flavor, top the cake with chopped chocolate-covered peanut butter cup candies.
