![]() A long levee here has hosted Wood Stork, Roseate Spoonbill, Say’s Phoebe, Couch’s Kingbird, Sprague’s Pipit, Chestnut-collared Longspur, McCown’s Longspur, and Snow Bunting, to list a few rarities. Bald Eagles have nested at spots around the lake, and Rock Wrens appear with some regularity in winter along the dam.Ī few miles northeast, the Okay Landing area of the lake can be productive also. Roads lead to the river just below the dam, which can be worth checking for gulls. Though there are no guarantees, rarities such as Magnificent Frigatebird, jaegers, Little Gull, and Sooty Tern have appeared at Millwood. At times, the lake can be full of dabbling and diving ducks, loons, grebes, American White Pelicans, gulls, and terns. A spotting scope is practically a necessity here. There’s a state park at the western edge of the huge dam, but the Beards Bluff area at the eastern end is usually a better viewpoint. Millwood is a very large reservoir, and covering it requires visiting various lookout points. It’s at its best from fall through spring for waterfowl and gulls, and in spring and fall migration for unusual songbirds. In southwestern Arkansas, the large reservoir called Millwood Lake has long been a hotspot for waterbirds, as well as for an extensive list of rare species of all types. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book will haunt you as it explores themes of love, heartbreak, and what it means to understand and harness one’s own power. That New World, in the late 17th century, is no less a place than Salem, Massachusetts, and the curse is only the beginning of the story. But Maria’s world is thrown into chaos when the man she loves abandons her, causing her to follow him all the way to the New World. Maria is abandoned in the snow as a child, only to be taken in by Hannah Owens to raise as her own, and taught magic. ![]() Alice Hoffman, who wrote the eponymous book the film is based on, has been expanding this magical universe and has just released her second prequel to it, Magic Lessons, all about the origin tale of Maria Owens. At the heart of the film is a curse set on their family by Maria Owens, who had her heart broken by a man. Practical Magic is a classic, mixing elements of horror with a romantic plot full of witches, the living dead, and spells gone awry. ![]() Start off the spooky season with a little romance and drama to ease you into the darkening days. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Skepticism crumbles in the face of so moving a story so beautifully told, the kind of movie Roger Ebert would likely have loved. It helped make the film of Life Itself genuinely worthy of the title, and genuinely worth seeing. Ironically or not, that broadened the film’s horizons-and in ways that probably would have pleased Ebert greatly. James’s film was originally intended to be a straightforward adaptation of that book, but Ebert passed away in 2013, just one month into shooting. The best-known film critic in history was nothing if not prolific, churning out hundreds of reviews for print, television, and the Internet, as well as two dozen books on subjects that included not only movies but also computers and rice cookers-capped by his startlingly unguarded autobiography, Life Itself, in 2011. One challenge facing documentary filmmaker Steve James as he prepared his movie on the life of Roger Ebert is that so much was already known about, and so much had been heard from, the famous subject. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Good story, and probably more worth rereading than most of the Wolves series proper. But then I'd have expected to find some Bells or Murgatroyds around the old town. I can't quite see this Blastbourne turning into Is's - at least, not once Holdernesse turns out to be nice guy - but give it a generation or two and just about anything could happen. Now, back in print, the engaging and suspenseful British fantasy by one of Englands most imaginative storytellers. Read the latest reviews of Joan Aiken books at, the UKs largest childrens book review community with over 130000. For all that, there's hope - there's people who love one another, people striving to achieve their dreams and to help others to the same achievement, and a hopeful - not happy, but hopeful - ending. ![]() Plus, well, a couple kids - upper-class kids, at that - managing for themselves after every adult responsible for them is either dead, injured, or deliberately rejecting them - not very realistic, but still well-presented. This is a far more realistic story than Is's - no magical thought messages or anything like that, just fraud, extortion, vicious pranks and plots, and a grim, dark setting. I was interested to read this view of Blastburn, as compared to the Blastburn/Holdernesse/Playland in Is Underground. ![]() ![]() ![]() But when a simple gift causes a horrible misunderstanding, Carter pulls back out of fear the scars on his heart still cut too deep. Neither Skylar nor Carter are prepared for what fate has in store for them, yet the pull toward one another is undeniable. And then a blonde with curly hair and emerald eyes waltzes into his life and awakens desires he thought no longer existed. At this point in his life, he’s not sure he’ll ever be able to move on. Since his wife died two years ago, Carter Montgomery’s entire world has centered around his daughter Everly. However, the psychic touches on things even Skylar hasn’t admitted to herself, and the whole experience sticks with her-especially when she finds an abandoned purple rainboot at the mall later that day. ![]() ![]() When her mother gifts her a psychic reading on her twenty-sixth birthday, Skylar O’Conner’s jaded outlook has her bored before she even steps inside. With the magical feeling of Christmas around her, will Skylar find her Prince Charming? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And challenge previous sci-fi scenarios." - Tom Shippey, The Wall Street Journal "Potent like Naam's vividly imagined nano-drug Nexus, Crux is a heady cocktail of ideas and page-turning prose. ![]() Count me in." - Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Pirate Cinema "Smart, thoughtful, and hard to drop, this richly nuanced sequel outshines its predecessor with a wide cast of characters and some complicated, uneasy questions about power, responsibility, and the future of humanity." - Publishers Weekly "Crux does what sci-fi is supposed to do: Leave you staring into a future you never thought of. This is a fabulous book, and it ends in a way that promises at least one more. "A blisteringly paced technothriller that dives deeper and even better into the chunky questions raised by Nexus. ![]() ![]() Consider this example that shows the C runtime function memcpy: void * memcpy(Ĭan you tell what this function does?

Pro-life and pro-family religious groups were targeted beginning in the 1990s. ![]() The SPLC expanded its list of “hate groups” to include not just the shrinking numbers of vile KKK and neo-Nazi groups, but groups that were merely controversial and even harmless. ![]() To do this, an ever-widening definition of hatred was required. Money flowed into the SPLC, driven by Dees’s brilliance for direct-mail campaigning and the hope of white liberals that a strong SPLC would mean the end to racism and hatred in America.īut to keep the money flowing, the SPLC kept insisting hate groups and white supremacy were expanding. In the earliest days of the SPLC, the Alabama-based civil rights law firm did target truly racist and hateful groups, most famously the United Klans of America, which the SPLC devastated in a successful lawsuit it launched in 1984. ![]() ![]() ![]() Carrie, without a shining quality, with little to say, with almost no initiative, only her second-rate good looks, her first-rate instinct for soft places, her genius for fitting into such places when she finds them - in brief, her rudimentary femininity - gets a tremendous grip on the imagination of the reader. Withal, the story is interesting in spite of the commonplace character of the personages and the low plane of the gallery in which they move. There is no attempt to complicate the facts as they are with notions of things as they should be morally, or as they might be sentimentally or aesthetically. To an extraordinary degree the book is a photograph of conditions in the crude larger cities of America and of the people who make these conditions and are made by them. She had beauty of a mild sort, a natural sensibility, a rudimentary intellect, a liking for fine clothes and silk and soft places, the good nature which goes with the lack of passion, and no particular burden of education or conscience. He tells what happens to a farmer’s daughter from Wisconsin who went to Chicago almost as a child, and there to seek her level in the world. Except for his provincial avoidance of simple and perfectly understandable phrases, Mr. Dodge & Co., and deserves to be received as a new book, for it did not get a chance for recognition when it first appeared.
