Our Take: This ultra-modern property is popular with trendy travelers.

Posting completed Booksmart Book on website?
I am taking Multimedia classes in graduate school and one of my assignments is posting my completed Travelbook onto my weblog for all to see. I have spent hours and am almost done with my Booksmart book and plan to order a few copies to document my travels around Europe. NOW, I cannot figure out how to post my completed book onto my Weblog. Can anyone help??
Hello Jodi;
Well, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news… but… as far as I know, no-one has yet cracked how to do this – at least in an "un-adulterated" manner…
You can link to the book's preview in the Blurb BookStore, but that only shows the first 15 pages…
The only way I know of doing this is to print the book on your PC to a pdf file, upload the pdf to a host server, and then link to the pdf.
Downside is that Blurb dumps a watermark right across all pages to avoid theft and/or to avoid us getting our book pages printed elsewhere!
If you don't have a "pay-for" pdf maker, check-out CutePDF [click on link]. It's free and very good..
Good luck;
PS: If you DO figure out a way to do this – let us all know!
A bit time consuming, but taking 'snap shots' from your BookSmart pages in preview-mode could be the answer. Use Photoshop to cut them to size if necessary, and upload them to your weblog.

It would be nice if the complete book could be posted on the weblog so that others that may be interested in making a purchase could see what they're getting. That would be nice.

Bernard Siquieros is with the Tohono O'odham Cultural Center and Museum.
Visit the Photo Place
Y OU MAY BE unfamiliar
If there is a front line in the war over illegal immigration from Mexico, the Tohono are on it.
The 2.8 million acres of the Tohono nation include 75 miles of the United States-Mexico border. And while 15,000 Tohono people live on the American side of that line in the sand, another 2,000 live in nine small communities in the Mexican state of Sonora.
Tohono O'odham. The name says it all: People of the Desert.
Bernard Siquieros is a lifelong educator and a Tohono O'odham. He has lived and taught school in a variety of places on and off the traditional lands of his people. Today, he is an educational coordinator for the beautiful new Tohono O'odham Nation Cultural Center and Museum in Topawa, Ariz.
I took a bus trip last week with other journalists to visit the museum, located in the heart of the Tohono Nation in Topawa, a tribal village near Sells, Ariz.
This is a part of the United States few Americans visit. And that is a shame. Chances are you never dreamed anyplace like this existed. Here's why.
Our bus trip began at the tribe's large, striking, nearly new hotel-conference center and casino on the outskirts of Tucson.
The Tohono O'odham built this facility entirely with proceeds from their gaming enterprises, just as they built their equally handsome cultural center and museum, Siquieros said.
Traveling southwest along Arizona 86, the ranches gradually drop off and you enter the enormous reservation lands. Studded with mountain ranges, these lands lie at the heart of the Sonoran Desert. In its unique fashion, this is a dramatic landscape: vistas expanding literally to the horizon--space like you've never known it, particularly if you are from the East.
At the same time, it is a forbidding, utterly inhospitable land, and it is hard to imagine the desperation that would drive anyone to attempt to enter the United States through this country.
And yet, attempt it they do, as we soon see. Up ahead, there is something in the road. The driver slows, stops, for a Border Patrol checkpoint. The officer waves our driver on.

Everyone has a mind map of bad illnesses that may possibly cause an individual. Now, add 'fungal infections' to that particular list. In the title, it might seem a little innocuous, but this factor could be pretty debilitating. Just request individuals who've ever endured Athlete's feet. It isn't limited simply to the feet, though yeast infections can happen virtually anywhere, even in your genital area. Inside a couple of cases, yeast infections may also be fatal. For instance, when the fungus infects the lung area, which too of you aren't a destabilized defense mechanisms, it may and it has led to deaths worldwide. The entire point of the aforementioned 'scare-mongering' is to ensure you get heads-up concerning the whole factor, and demonstrate how bad yeast infections may possibly get. Now now you ask , the way we may possibly avoid this vexing condition. In the end, prevention is the greatest medicine. Doing that, instead of dealing with it after it's happened, will probably be your best choice. We've collected a couple of tips for the reason that regard. They all are the following:
? This sounds really apparent, however, you should avoid individuals who are recognized to have any kind of yeast disease. These illnesses are contagious and when the spores touch the skin, or else you breath them in, then you're going to have one too.
? This is further towards the last point we made. If you have got a bit of yeast illness, then do your behalf in getting rid of it's spread which you'll do by since the infected area, and restricting personal connection with people.
? If you're journeying within the outdoors, mainly in the areas with fungi plant life, then you definitely should cover both hands, and ft to avoid any possible contamination. Infection isn't restricted to the outside, although it sometimes happens within your house too. So, it's recommended that you simply keep the hands from other peoples dirty towels and serviettes, along with other things like individuals.
? Keep your hygiene levels up, always. All the fungi often grow in dirty conditions, and when you allow them that chance, then you need only got you to ultimately blame. Don't limit this simply to the body though, and the atmosphere around yourself clean too. Doing that can lower your chance of this kind of illness way low, helping you save in the difficulty from the treatment.
? This needs special mention: Keep yourself dry. Lots of fungi grow in moist atmosphere, and when you will not dry out the sweat you have produced, this could drive your possibility of a yeast infection up. This ties track of the above mentioned point about hygiene. So, carefully towelling yourself off, let us say, following a workout isn't just a safety measure, it's part of as being a clean individual.
The existence of moles around the various visible areas of the body can be quite embarrassing. People search for various techniques of getting rid of these questions faster way. Mole removal could be completed in two primary techniques. The first includes naturally whereas the 2nd routine includes the scientific system. Which means that for those who have such spots around the face, then its super easy to eliminate them, with one of these two techniques. However, mole removal in your own home is generally preferred because it is cheaper as in comparison towards the other method.
Nonetheless, even prior to deciding to eliminate them in your own home skin doctors play a simple role in analyzing the problem and giving their advice based on their professional perspective. Getting rid of the mole in your own home thus becomes safe.
When the skin doctor verifies the spots in your face aren't worth carrying out the surgery, you might go to execute the indoor methods. This is positive because you will have the ability to save money and also the regular outings that may be designed to the institutions.
For that home-based techniques, they're never hard to handle. The steps are specific. Additionally, the types of materials which are used can be simply present in your atmosphere. Some elements for example fruits and oil are typical in the market at reasonable prices. Which means that it will save you time and money, concurrently.
During the night, garlic clove may be used. It's pounded and glued around the mark. A bandage can be used to lock up towards the following morning. Clean it with tepid to warm water. The marks will shrink and disappear completely.
Some fruits for example pineapple are fundamental if you wish to eliminate these marks. The sap is removed and applied from the involved area. This is done regularly to understand its good results.
For the best results, using castor oil is available in handy. This method is used across the more dark region regularly. This is accomplished until it might be less strong after which fades away, as time passes. You will have to fix it using tepid to warm water after a while.
Also, you should use honey. Aside from its usefulness, this method is simple to find. The sugary liquid is applied to the spots lightly. Once the skin soaks up the items in this juice it will help in getting rid of the dark patches. Clean carefully after a little minutes.
These home-based mole removal tips normally become effective after a while. The outcomes are ever slow but sure when clearing the patches. You shouldn't worry when the mole removal procedure doesn't yield results instantly. If you see the effects aren't apparent, you have to maintain regular application as you are assured of positive but gradual change.

The Short Eyes
I hope that everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve, followed up with an enjoyable New Year's Day and now feels refreshed enough to dive back into San Diego's thriving music scene. Some of the local haunts are still closed to take a small break, but other spots are ready for your patronage and they certainly deserve it. Soda Bar and the Griffin both have ideal lineups on Wednesday for you to get your midweek music fix. If you haven't had the chance to catch the Short Eyes in awhile, this is your chance as they'll certainly rock it out. Then again, maybe you just need to dance it out with Lady Dottie over at Gallagher's or check out the Blooming Rye from North County whose drenched-in-reverb sounds will fit in nicely at the Soda Bar.

Some believe that high levels of software customization in a distributed server environment is the answer to the problem. Instead, this often leads to wasted and unused resources, built-in inefficiencies, energy and floor space concerns, security issues, high software license costs, and maintenance nightmares.
Enterprise-grade servers that are well suited for modern big data analytics workloads have:
- Higher compute intensity (high ratio of operations to I/O)
- Increased parallel processing capabilities
- Increased VMs per core
- Advanced virtualization capabilities
- Modular systems design
- Elastic scaling capacity
- Enhancements for security and compliance and hardware-assisted encryption
- Increased memory and processor utilization
Superior, enterprise-grade servers also offer a built-in resiliency that comes from integration and optimization across the full stack of hardware, firmware, hypervisor, operating system, databases, and middleware. These systems are often designed, built, tuned, and supported together -- and are easier to scale and manage.
For example, many large financial institutions have embarked on aggressive programs to use predictive analytics technology to enhance their revenues. This is placing greater demand on existing compute resources. Using an enterprise-grade server helps these institutions to run thousands of tasks in parallel to deliver analytics services faster, as well as create a virtualized environment that improves server utilization and shares server resources across business units. Server consolidation and virtualization helps reduce the number of physical servers, saving data center space and yielding savings through reduced power and cooling, hardware maintenance, software licensing, and management costs.
To lay it out in more technical terms, there are three important computing requirements for big data workloads:

"Solution: Simply turn the area into an "inside" area so it autodismounts."
what happens when you need to get away from the stone (to repair, etc), you need to mount up to leave the stone..
bad design is the problem, having the summoning stone in a tiny area with 4 entrances.
Would have been better if they had made the stone on the ground underneath Naxx
SINisterWyvern said...
Yes it can autodismount, not the whole thing, but make mounts only available on the actual ledges between the pillars and the problem is solved.
Stop being assholes to the person who said it and actually THINK a little bit for yourselves as I just did and you won't look like morons.
rosencratz said...
They'renot being assholes, they're all right topoint the problems out. There are dozens of issues with an auto dismounting zone, especially a very small one, especially when putting the stone elsewhere is a good solution and especially considering it wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for jerks.
Just imagine the complains of people who suffer just a brief lagspike who "auto-dismounted" too early/late and died, Woot, that'll be fun, asking people to stand right on the ledges? From experience Latency+ledge walking = masses of complaints... Just look to eye of the storm.
There are, quite simply, better solutions to this problem than coding in a special dismount zone for the sake of a few jerks. Some solutions are in the power of the players.... bring a warlock, get off your collective-guild butts and be ready for the raid in advance or be prepared to make the very short flight from Dalaran if it's that stressful.
What SINisterWyvern said. Some people are so quick to dismiss a simple idea because they'll be damned if they're going to spend more than 1 second processing it.
Just to be perfectly clear: The immediate area around the stone should dismount players. A little farther out, there could be enough room to step on and mount up.
No no, I think fall to the doom is pretty good.
So long as they add a "Leaving group whilst inside naxxramas will port you to the graveyard." feature, mention it in the patch notes, all the idiots that cause the problem won't know what's going on.. and we all get hours of entertainment.
Sometimes being a jerk is part of natural selection.
That would work, but only to a certain extent. Many mounts are so big that they would cover the stone area anyway. There's not enough room in there, simply as that.
IMO they should put the stone on the ground below Naxx, like the stone for the Temptest Keep Dungeons.
Deadly. Off. Topic. said...
There's enough space in there so that you can mount on the sides and auto dismount near the stone (something they should impliment btw). Only an idiot who is aware of his lag would be stupid enough to rush to the side.
And the one who is not, well lag happens and you should have expected that possiblity given the current state of the realms right now... you lived with it before, live with it again.
Auto-dismount could work. They just have to move naxx a little to the east, so that it's over water. Then even non priest/mage/druids could fall safely. :-)
It makes sense also, because necropolises are clearly mobile and even the undead can appreciate the beautiful view of a river during sunset.
Matchu- Haha, I was thinking the same thing... then saw everyone flaming you. You must be a druid. Instant Cast Swift Flight form FTW!!!
As far as crowding around the stone... well this isn't a problem on a PVP server. On Ravenholdt, it seems at times that the Naxx summoning area has more or less become an official battleground. It isn't uncommon to see a post announcing that we now have the Naxx Stone. I've never seen it void of players, one faction or another is constantly there ganking anyone too slow to make it into the instance. Beware the Death Knight!!! Of course, since there are more Belf Ret Pallies than there are Alliance on my server, you can guess how often we get to use the summoning stone.... in fact, I don't think I have ever been summoned to Naxx by anything other than one of our warlocks.

With cheerful colors and a subtle fragrance, spring flowers portray the promise of bright, sweet days ahead. They are perfect for classic, yet informal wedding designs.

15 cream parrot tulips
15 cream tulips
raffia or string strong floral wire cream ribbon
How to Assemble
Tulips continue to grow even after they've been cut; they can change the shape of a design that has been arranged too early, leaving it looking slightly disordered. It's best to arrange these blooms on the morning of the wedding.
Strip most of the leaves from the stems, leaving a few odd leaves for color and interest. Get rid of any drooping leaves. Arrange the tulip stems like a spiral bouquet, but assemble it while it is up facing you. Position the flowers at the back slightly higher.
Tie off the bunch with raffia or string.
Wrap a long length of strong wire a couple of times around the stems on top of the raffia. Tie the ends around the top of the pew to secure the bunch.
Cover the raffia/wire binding point with a length of cream ribbon tied in a bow.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia- Peoples Army (FARC-EP) rejected today a report released here accusing its leadership and spokespersons of planning and designing criminal behavior from Colombia and Venezuela. In a communiqué posted on the Internet, in which they refer to revelations made by local Blu Radio station, the insurgents said that "the revelations are based on the alleged tapping of phones, e-mails and other media by FARC-EP."
The revelations were released by the radio station "without the least attempt to verify its authenticity or veracity, which we won't hesitate to condemn as crude falsifications and manipulations by the Colombian intelligence services," said the guerrilla group.
FARC-EP said these assertions coincide with recent announcement of advances on the issue of drug trafficking and illicit used crops, currently under discussion in the talks with the Colombian government that arise optimism among all Colombians who long for a political solution to armed conflict.
The guerrilla said they are trying to prevent the parties in dialogue from continuing making progress in finding peace and to divert the attention about the real interests of most Colombian military commands "that insist on going on with a war that enriches and degrades them to the detriment of millions of Colombians."

Update: The deal brokered by Gov. Nathan Deal on Monday, intended to end a 15-month leadership feud in the state Senate, collapsed on Tuesday when it was rejected in a closed-door vote of the Republican caucus.
The plan was intended to reassert at least some of the authority stripped from Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle in late 2010.
A spokesman for the governor said Deal was under the impression that an agreement had been reached last night, after a three-hour session that brought most of the parties together. But a spokesman said the governor was privy to the reasons for the collapse.
"Senate leaders asked the governor to host a meeting in his office and that's what he did. He was there, and he was hopeful, but in the end, the Senate's business is the Senate's business," said Deal spokesman Brian Robinson. "We want a body operating efficiently and well."
This is the second time that the governor has stepped into the fray between Cagle and Senate Republicans led by President pro tem Tommie Williams and Majority Leader Chip Rogers.
The first time was last August, when Deal's initiative to shift the sales tax transportation vote from this July to November had bogged down. The governor shook hands with Senate leaders on an agreement – but GOP caucus members rejected the agreement.
There are many ways to increase one's clout and reputation in the state Capitol. Wasting a governor's time isn't one of them.
Original file: Gov. Nathan Deal called Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and leading members of the Senate Republican caucus on Monday in a three-hour effort to bring peace to a leadership feud in that chamber – which threatens to derail the governor's newly announced agenda.
Details are still scant, but so far this is what we've got:
We're told that a quiet effort to supplant Tommie Williams, R-Lyons, as president pro tem of the Senate with Ross Tolleson, R-Perry, had achieved significant traction. A vote of no confidence, the necessary prelude to Williams' removal, was to be held in the state Capitol this morning – just as Deal was unveiling his blueprint for the session. Democrats would have been able to provide the swing votes that determined the outcome.
Williams and Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers went to Deal to ask him to intervene. What resulted was come-to-Jesus meeting that stretched into the late evening and included Cagle; Williams; Rogers; Sen. Ronnie Chance, R-Tyrone, chairman of the economic development committee; and Sen. Don Balfour, R-Snellville, chairman of the rules committee.
The agreement that was hashed out: Cagle would chair a reconfigured five-member committee on assignments. The lieutenant governor would also have two appointments to that committee. Williams and Rogers would hold seats as well.
However, an agreement was reached that the committee would make no changes in the current chairmanship roster. Caucus elections this fall, after the November general election, would settle the matter.
Also, William and Rogers were guaranteed seats on this session's budget conference committees.
The agreement must still pass muster with the Senate Republican caucus as a whole – so it's not clear whether this is indeed an end to the 15-month power struggle that began when the caucus stripped Cagle of his authority over the chamber in late 2010.
But the entrance of Deal into the fray means that the governor is seriously worried about the impact the feud might have on his efforts at tax reform and economic development.
Monday's developments also cast the Senate's opening day in a different light. The chamber immediately took up a pair of education bills. The meatiest of the two was S.B. 184, which would bar local school boards from considering only a hiring date when deciding to lay off a teacher – or risk a loss of state funding.
The bill had failed to gain final passage last year – in large part because the lieutenant governor had placed the bill at the bottom of the final day's calendar.
So publicly, Senate Republicans were sending a message that they were ready to do business. Privately, passage of S.B. 184 was a rebuke to Cagle, and a sign that last year's trench warfare would continue.
Significantly, the Senate agreed to all House changes in the legislation – in order to avoid granting the lieutenant governor the privilege of appointing a conference committee.

WOW. Chip Rogers on a state budget committee?
This guy was part of the roach motel fiasco with partner Tom Graves. The 'we could never have repaid that loan' gang. Rogers horrible personal business practices qualifies him to serve on the state budget committee????
Of course since our bankrupt governor is involved it makes perfect sense. LMAO at the Georgia Republican party!

Internecine power struggles go on with every party in every state and federal legislative chamber in the country. While it may be passing news to some (mostly partisan bloggers and reporters), it is not a big deal to voters.
Sounds like this one may have a temporary fix until after the next election.
Partisan posters who stick with attacking Deal, Rogers, and Graves over their PAST personal business problems during the worst recession of our lifetimes which the MAJORITY of voters have dismissed is the proverbial beating of a dead horse.

How hilarious is it that he wants us to forget about our tax-dollar supported Governor and representatives' poor money management histories while they make themselves rich at the expense of the people of this state? Very little comes out of our legislature that does not enrich the legislators, state officers, and their good friends, while the state circles the drain. It has been ever thus, even when this crop of scalawags called themselves "democrats." You know, before they sold out for a better deal.

@ Eric: ALL politicians jockey – it is the nature of the profession. You are not familiar with my politics. I have often stated that I think Obama will be re-elected for the following reasons mostly submitted by the (black) columnist Dr. Walter Williams:
Incumbency creates a campaign contribution advantage, and many strings can be pulled in an election year to buy votes. Obama is going to have a huge money advantage.
The liberal media is firmly behind him, and will get EVEN MORE partisan as the election draws near. After all, to not love him would be racist.
Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing. He's one of us,
Nearly half the voters don't pay taxes, and Obama is the best hope it remains that way or increases.
College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It's really not more complex than that,
Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope,
Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coat tails will carry them to victory nationwide,
Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party,
Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics,
Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more everyday. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda,
Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic.

Encouragement for Democrats early in this election year:
President Obama won North Carolina (0.32%), Indiana (1.04%), Florida (2.82%), Ohio (4.59%), Virginia (6.29%), and Colorado (8.95%). Flipping ALL these electoral votes would give an electoral victory to the Republican nominee. So far only North Carolina and Indiana might flip – Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado are still projected to stick with Obama according to this website: http://www.electionprojection.com/2012elections/president12.php
Obama is currently projected to win by 126 electoral votes compared to his 192 electoral win in 2008.
No change in House numbers with Republicans easily holding it, and the Senate has a 50 – 50 split projection.

Ten years of rabid greed and wholesale giveaways of Georgia taxpayer assets to insiders and cronies, under the guise of providing "incentives" to business and development interests. The only jobs created during this period were low paying construction-related mostly menial labor that evaporated when the housing bubble burst.
And during those 10 years, the state's infrastructure, public school system, court system, parks, forestry department, DNR, Extension Services, District Attorneys Offices, mental health facilities, etc. etc. have been starved and crippled ruthlessly and stupidly by the state leadership. The quality of life of the average Georgia has plummeted.
Georgia has lost any possible claim to being a desirable place to relocate, find a productive livelihood and raise a family. It doesn't matter how many more tax incentives and perks are ladled out. Who wants to live in a Third World backwater?

I'd say the Repubs don't trust Cagle any more than I do. But then I don't trust Rogers at all. There aren't any reasonable folks up there? This sounds like the playground at Kindergarden time. Maybe we should require compulsory remedial Kindergarden classes for all state reps.

Partisans always go back the number of years the out party has been out. They somehow ignore the exact preceding years that caused their party to be out. (True for Republicans too, who only refer to the last 3 years of the Obama administration). Such partisans also ignore the most recent elections that confirm the party they don't favor.

What part of the following statement did y'all (Centrist and td) find unclear?
"It has been ever thus, even when this crop of scalawags called themselves "democrats." You know, before they sold out for a better deal."
The PROBLEM isn't what the self-enriching, pandering crooks in the legislature call themselves. The problem is that the CITIZENS of this state do not hold our representatives accountable for their actions.
WHY is that? My theory: Because they're too busy being distracted by partisan noisemakers who glut the conversation with stupid social wedge issues and pointless yammering about national politics. Guess what? The folks in Washington D.C. don't give a good gosh darn about how far the citizens of Georgia are being sucked down the drain. But the crooks under the Gold Dome appreciate that we ignore what they're doing to focus on everything BUT what truly impacts our local economies, property values, and quality of life here in Georgia. I'm sure you'll get a thank-you note from them any minute now.

Among the many, many things that drive me nuts about politicians is their hopelessly transparent effort to take credit for fixing something they broke in the first place.
Let's take the HOPE scholarship for example. Politcians are falling all over themselves to take credit for stepping in and "saving" HOPE. And that would be saving HOPE from whom? From politicians who broke it in the first place. Remember when HOPE was established? It was established to give "hope" to those who did not have the financial means to attend college. When established, HOPE became very popular so politicians did what politicians do…..expanded the benefit to more voters by removing the financial ceiling for all. That was great if you wanted to make yourself more popular but expanding the pool of those eligible meant that HOPE funds could not possibly keep up with demand.
So…..politicians did what politicians do…..they sat around, year after year, receiving projections that clearly showed that HOPE funds could not be sustained and they did nothing because doing something meant doing something to fix something they broke in the first place and because doing something would not be popular – the number one driving priority of a politician.
When HOPE finally collasped under the weight created by politicians, politicians stepped in and "saved" something that, in reality, they broke in the first place.
What's that you say – democrats had a chance to fix HOPE when they were in charge? Of course they did. This isn't a partisan problem, this is a bi-partisan poltiician problem.
A pox on both of their houses.

My post was not addressing your post in particular but instead a series of post I have read. I agree with you on your statement but disagree with your conclusions. synopsis on why. I think the true problem is that our state and nation has a bunch of apathetic voters that really do not care about politics. If my memory serves me this morning, I read where of our adult eligible population that only 50% of the people are registered to vote. Of that 50% we have at the most in a Presidential election year 60 to 65% turn out to vote. That basically means that only 30 to 40% of the adults in this country vote in a Presidential election. When it comes to State elections then the number is down to less then 30%. The rest of the people just do not care but they sure like to complain when things get hard.

@ n – The Georgia economy is part and parcel with the entire U.S. economy which is in the toilet. Trying to put this on just the Georgia Republican administration is simply partisanship which didn't fly with the voters only a little more than a year ago.
@ GaBlue – I didn't refute your remark about scalawags. Some politicians line their pockets more than others, and it is good when it is pointed out. Assigning credit and blame for good and bad government, and separating the true wheat from the partisan chaff is the problem for voters. Reporters and bloggers who only attack a single party while defending/ ignoring abuses by their preferred political bent creates an opposite backlash from thinking voters.

Rogers and Williams both need to be sent home, but that'll never happen, of course. I wish a couple of viable Repubs would run against them and at least give them a run for their money. The Senate would be better off without both of them.

@ Will – There was a huge backlash from taxpayers who were supporting non-taxpayer children's tuition with lottery money, and such socialistic policies did not sit well with Georgia's electorate. That is why the income cap came off, and Hope was still working for those who EARNED it. It was the model for the nation. What over-stressed it was the grade inflation from pressured teachers and school administrations. Instead of resisting the grade inflation – the hugely expanded base with many marginally qualified recipients are ALL made to suffer, except for those who really earn it via a higher grade threshold or the top of their class.

Since the early 1960s, blacks have tended voted for Democratic presidential candidates reghardless of color. This is simply a result of the fact that democrats tended to address issues and concerns that were important to the black community. No different that the republican strategy in recent years to play to the Christian voters. If you look at the facts, Obama's numbers in the 2008 election were not significantly higher than B. Clinton's two elections. It is not a black thing; it is a Democrat thing that has driven the black vote. Both were above 90%. Kerry pulled almost 85% of the black vote in 2004.
Am I proud of Obama as a black man? No question but that is no the reason he received my vote. If color was the sole criteria, then I would have voted for Jesse Jackson or Alan Keyes in the past. Neither recieved my vote because they lacked vision and were not quailfied. You can debate me until the cows come home about Obama's quailifcation. That is a fair discussion. It is absolutely wrong and ignorant to continue to promote a stereotype that is false. Black people are not as simple minded as your comment would infer. We have shown the ability to think beyond the color of one's skin when it comes to poltical matters.

Any evidence out there that shows what race whites in Cobb county are voting for, same with Gwinnett county. Are Cobb whites racist because they voted for McCain in 2008 and not Obama?
Are all whites racist because they only elect whites? From the local school board on up the ladder, every elected office except one in Gwinnett is held by a white person even though the white population is less than 50%.
Why have we never had a black governor? Why wasn't Cain elected to the Senate?

You are correct. McCain lost because of 4 reasons:
1: African American voter turnout was higher then a usual Presidential cycle. This helped the President in a few states but not as much as people think. The turnout will be just as high this cycle.
2: Youth turnout: This group is not as united (See Ron Paul campaign) and the unemployment rate for students between 18 and 29 is almost 50%. Can not see the same results this cycle.
3: Social conservative. About 20 to 25% of the social conservatives just stayed home last cycle because they did not like McCain's views on his social issues. This may be the same this year but I do not think so due to the 2010 election cycle.
4: White middle class suburban women married with children: This group has been called "independents", security moms, soccer moms and Reagan Republicans. This group has decided every election since 1980. They are conservative in the since that they want to keep what they have (SUV, nice house, good schools for their children, safe place to live and see a nice future for their children). They like Obama personally but do not like a lot of his policies. This group of voters in 10 to 12 states will decide the election and they are still trying to make up their mind.
January 10th, 2012
1:30 pm
Obama was elected with a majority of the white vote – so white racism did not come into play.
Please note that the black vote is just ONE reason why Obama will likely get re-elected, and focusing on this single issue is racist in itself. Below are some statistics instead of politically correct statements:
Black voter turnout in 2008 was 65.2 percent—an all-time high—with about 15.9 million Blacks casting ballots. In fact, for the first time in history, Black voter turnout almost matched White voter turnout (66.1 percent)
Support for the Democratic nominee went from 88 percent in 2004 to 95 percent in 2008. The Black share of the vote went from 11 percent in 2004 to 13 percent in 2008 due to increase black turnout.
The total number of Black votes for the Democratic candidate went from 12.0 million to 15.1 million; close to 3.2 million extra votes for the Democratic candidate in 2008 were entirely due to Black voters. This increase constituted 33 percent of Obama's total margin over McCain. In other words, if Obama had received Kerry's raw vote among Blacks, he would have won by 5 points rather than 8. If we consider some of the battleground states from 2008. In Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, and Florida, the contribution of increased Black Democratic votes to Obama's margin over McCain ranges from a low of 41 percent (Indiana) to a high of 1,106 percent (North Carolina). That is, Obama carried North Carolina by 14,177 votes, but his improvement over Kerry among Black voters was 156,816 votes. Clearly, Obama loses North Carolina and Florida without significant improvement over Kerry's 2004 showing among Blacks. It certainly helped Obama's electoral vote margin.

Today there is another article with details about the importance of knowing whether or not your breasts are considered "dense." The December 17th Oncology Nurse Advisor article is called, "Breast cancer related to changes in breast density as women age" and can be read in its entirety here.
Dense breasts make it harder for radiologists to clearly see tumors or irregularities on a woman's mammogram. You can see other posts which I've written about the concerns surrounding dense breasts here and here. If you look at the side by side comparison image above, you can clearly see the distinction between a dense breast and a regular fatty breast. A fatty breast is much easier to see through so that irregularities will clearly show up, while in a dense breast the tissue is harder to see through and your radiologist may not be able to see irregularities as readily.
Next time you get your annual mammogram, please remember to ask your radiologist if you have dense breasts. It should be noted on your report, but may not be, so ask the question. If you do have dense breasts, it doesn't mean you have or will get breast cancer. It simply means that because dense breasts have less fatty tissue and more non-fatty tissue, it's harder for mammograms to detect breast cancer in them.
Breastcancer.org is a wonderful resource that suggests that women with dense breasts develop a personal screening plan with their physician, which should include:
- Monthly breast self exams
- A yearly breast exam by your doctor
- A digital mammogram every year starting at age 40
Please be your own best advocate when it comes to your breast health. The cost of an MRI is much higher than that of a mammogram (MRI's are about $3,000 at my regional hospital) and so your doctor may not automatically suggest it, but if you have strong concerns about the ability to read your mammogram results you can request that they do an MRI.
I didn't know that I had dense breasts until after I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a lumpectomy. If I had know about this earlier, and understood the implications, I would have lobbied for an MRI immediately and would have been able to reduce the number of surgeries I had from three to two.

No one's perfect. Certainly not I. In the column that appears in today's HaAretz (English Edition), the wrong tasting note was used. No one's fault but my own as when I sent in the column I had simply forgotten that I had re-tasted Carmel's 2006 Single Vineyard Kayomi. Just to set the record straight...the following is the note as it should appear. This is also the tasting note that will appear in my books.
Carmel, Shiraz, Single Vineyard, Kayoumi, Upper Galilee, 2006: Showing even
better than at earlier tastings. Deep garnet with hints of royal purple and
casting orange and green reflections, a concentrated wine, full-bodied and
deeply extracted yet showing remarkably soft tannins and spicy wood that
almost melts on the palate. On first attack plums and currants, those
making way for black cherries, hints of saddle leather and notes of
asphalt. On the long and generous finish with tannins rising a comfortable
overlay of freshly roasted herbs and cedar wood. Approachable now but what
a waste as this one will start showing its best only in 2011. Cellar
comfortably until 2017. NIS 120. Score 93. K (Re-tasted 9 Jun 2009)
