Hey jjcheno...
I had a similar issue when I first installed the plugin. The announcement took over the top left hand corner of every page. The dismiss button didn't work either.
If you are comfortable with commenting out a line in the plugin code you can do the following:
Go to Plugins > Editor and choose NextGen Gallery.
Pick the nextgen-gallery/nggallery.php as the one to edit.
Look for the following:
// Display "Photocrati Acquisition Announcement"
add_action('admin_init', array(&$this, 'display_update_notice'));
and comment out the add_action line like this
// add_action('admin_init', array(&$this, 'display_update_notice'));
That got rid of the announcement things. They don't pop up anymore.
Hope this helps!
Thanks Jeremy, worked perfectly!
No prob! Glad I could help.
Thanks Jeremy..what were they thinking?
I am worried about the NG plugin it was so 'original wordpress' ;)
strange, clicking dismiss worked for me. i only saw it once. just in case it pops up again for me, are you guys up to date on wordpress? what other plugins do you have installed and what browsers are you using?
Hey Natalie...
I tried 3 different browsers and all did the same. IE, Chrome, Firefox.
The only other thing that I had running was a fresh install of WordPress, Buddypress and NextGen. I have since added other things but when I installed NextGen that was it.
Thanks Jeremy, that worked fine. easy fix!
interesting... one other thought i had @jeremykerr... what is your url string like? meaning, do you have a 'www' in front of your domain name, or does it load without. if you were to go to your site does your domain look like:
Hey Clive...
No prob! :)
Hey Natalie...
My site loads both ways. With and without the www in the front.
which one redirects to which? does the www url result w/o it or the other way around. if i were to go to your site, how does your url load? i understand that both lead your site, i'm just wondering how it loads by default.
Here is my url's (mind you it is still under construction)
In the end it loads with the www in the front.
ok, the w/o www is redirecting to www. interesting. i have tested on each type of domain url on my server and the 'dismiss' works for me. thanks for sharing your site, i was just curious if that had anything to do with why it wasn't working for you. +1 on the superman trailer on your site, i am SO excited to see that movie!
Thanks! :)
Good Grief this is driving everyone crazy! I've got a right mind to find something else if the folks at Photocrati aren't willing to fix this themselves. I have hundreds of installations of NextGen, and this is so **BLEEPING** annoying.
Thanks JeremyKerr for the solution. I have a lot of changes to make.
No problem. :)
There is another pop up like this, it´s on the "add new Gallery"
The pop up say
"Client side resize
You can now resize the images before you start with the upload."
How can i delete it?
Hey Jano...
That can be found in the pointer.php file right at the top of the code. It looks like this:
// create an array if pointers for each page
$this->pointers = array(
'nggallery-add-gallery' => array(
'id' => 'image_resize_pointer',
'content' => __('
Client side resize

You can now resize the images before you start with the upload.
', 'nggallery'),
'posititon'=> 'top'
$page = ( isset($_GET['page']) ) ? $_GET['page'] : '';
$this->settings = ( isset( $this->pointers[$page] ) ) ? $this->pointers[$page] : array();
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', array( &$this, 'enqueue' ) );
I have not seen the pop up myself and I do not know what would happen if you commented out the lines of code. I would make a backup of the file, place // in front of each line and save it. I would not delete the code straight out and try it though.
Once you do that try the "add new gallery" area and see if it still pops up or if you get any errors.
Just started to get this annoying pop-up after most recent update... this worked a treat. THANKS Jeremy! :-)
No problemo :)
had the same problem. they just released an update last day or two with a fix for it: http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-1-9-6/. seemed to do the trick. may want to check if you still have the issue after updating to 1.9.6.
Yeah it says:
Bugfix: Fixed an issue with users not being able to dismiss the "Photocrati Acquisition Notice"
So they probably fixed it. :)
I still have the same issue in a copy of 1.9.6 that I installed today. One I installed last week doesn't seem to have the problem. Not sure what the difference is.
I looked into the new code for the updated files. I see that that line in not commented out as I believe they had fixed the issue. You can try and comment out the same line I mentioned above and see if that works.
Hi Jeremy and all,
We did introduce a fix in 1.9.6, but a small number of people are still having some difficulties closing the box or getting it to stay closed. There's a another thread on this issue with some longer responses from us here:
It includes some trouble shooting steps plus the same short term fix that Jeremy also suggested above for those who are still having the issue.
Thanks and best,
Thanks Erick for the info. :)

So yummy! Went light on the sauce so I didn't have the problem with toppings sliding off but could still taste the alfredo perfectly. Didn't use avocado. Also put the veggies on under the mozzarella cheese. Looks a little neater, but that's just aesthetics.
This was a really nice pizza. I liked the avacado on it, although I thought it was "different". It surprisingly turned out to be a very nice combination of flavour. Thanks for posting. I will certainly make this again!
I enjoyed this combination. I didn't use avocado, and I added some slices of pepperoncini and some kalamata olives. I probably only used about 1/2 cup of the alfredo sauce, and even that was quite rich tasting - when it was hot my husband had a hard time with all the toppings sliding right off the crust, so I may play around a bit with the sauce next time - but the flavor was great and it was quite pretty to look at. Thanks!

Just go, President Bush. Just disappear.
No advice. No appearances. No speeches.
You've hung your presidency on terrorism, but you forgot the nation.
You've given illegals a reason to fight but have taken away our ability to fight illegal immigration.
You've been the head of our party but destroyed it for years, if not decades to come.
Just go. Never come back.

Thank you Mr. President, for your steadfast strength and honor. Thank you for protecting our families and supporting the families of those who died on 9/11 in the Towers, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. It saddens me to realize that in your lifetime and in ours, your great leadership will not be as recognized or appreciated as it will years from now. It will take non partisan historical writers to document one of the most dangerous eras in our history, and how fortunate we were as a nation, to have you at the helm. God speed to you and your wonderful family.

And yet it didn't sink in with you. Take a couple of aspirins and drink a lot of water before you pass out. You'll thank me in the morning.
P.S. President Bush has been great on the war, the SCOTUS, and taxes. Those three are HUGE. But he was way too leftist (or wimpish) on so many other things. He was most definitely a mixed blessing.
Having said that, under the same circumstances we were in at the time, I still would have voted for him.

eaglewingz08 on November 29, 2008 at 8:22 AM
Bush is at 26%, Congress is at 12%. That should tell you something about how the public views all of our elected officials. Bush is doing better than twice as good a job as Congress based on the public's perception. Given the challenges that he has had to face and a hostile media determined to undermine everything he has done, he did wonderful. I'd vote for him again.
JohnB on November 29, 2008 at 8:25 AM
Ya play the cards your dealt. Bush did what needed doing. To say he was a bad President is ridiculous. He didn't ask for 9/11, he responded to 9/11, he bundled in pulling a tyrant out of leadership, and made the world a safer place for us. I thank Bin Laden's ilk for screwing up our freedoms. I can't fully sight Bush for that.
The real screwups are coming. Just wait and watch with the Dems working the peddles for Obama. Heh, I wonder who they'll blame? Bush will be gone.
W will be treated with much respect after we see how the next administration handles a terror attack.
He was tough and smart in the end about our safety.
If people expect perfect they are being unrealistic- Bush was hindered by his view that conservatism needed "compassion", undercutting it and buying into big government which will be his biggest black mark.It also emboldened the RINO's in congress to our electoral detriment.
But considering who we could have had in 2000 and 2004, he was best by a mile.

Jamson64 on November 29, 2008 at 8:55 AM
I am mixed on "W", while I thank God all the time that he was our commander and chief when 9/11 happened, and I am pretty happy with the supreme court appointments that he has made. I believe that he has caused irreparable damage to the conservative movement and has allowed us to lose our identity as a party. For the first time in my life I no longer consider myself a Republican. GWB did that. Oh sure, RINOS like McCain and others caused it too but Bush created the environment and blurred the lines between the parties that caused our current situation. Americans had a clearer choice in the past between Republican and Democrat, now they don't see much difference. Bush is responsible for the bulk of that attitude.
conservnut on November 29, 2008 at 9:04 AM
Bush played the hand that was dealt him, but not as well as many others could have. He apparently refused to consider views contrary to his own, which might have stopped a few of the major misteps he made, and placed a huge premium on personal loyalty rather than intelligence. I think Kerry or Gore would have been better than Bush.
jim m on November 29, 2008 at 9:07 AM
Don't expect any pictures of the chosen Emperor sharing the frame with a turkey. I'm sure Reuters will Photoshop in angels, sunrises, smiling children, and a new error of neo-Baroque propaganda shots will adorn all dispatches suitable for the masses.
George Bush is the end of an error of American presidents that loved this country as the nation the founding fathers intended. His faults were magnified and exaggerated far beyond what foreign enemies found true by our own agenda driven media, and obviously was lapped up over and over again like regurgitated vomit by the skin hounds that value the color of a man's skin over the man underneath.

OK he was a great leader on 9/11 but since then he hasn't done one thing right.
– a 5 year war in Iraq
– failing to kill Bin Laden and the AQ leadership
– nation building in Afghanistan
– amnesty
– medicare D
– highways bill, farm bill, 11 trillion deficit, selling the country to China, Japan and the Saudis
– complete wasted opportunity in 2002 with the GOP congress to allow drilling, cut government, get rid of entitlements, get rid of fannie and freddie

not to mention handing over the entire economy to a Goldman Sachs insider and signing into law the No Bank Left Behind act of 2008. He should have fired Ben Bernanke also
lodge on November 29, 2008 at 9:27 AM
I agree with most of the faults his critics here have pointed out, but…
He cut taxes again & again.
He restored prosperity after the Clinton recession & after 9/11.
He was the most pro-life President ever.
He restored honesty & dignity to the Oval Office.
He appointed some awesome SC justices.
He greatly enlarged faith-based/gov't partnerships.
He was GREAT fighting Islamofascism.
eh, I dunno. Its not easy being the worlds hitman. He's taken out Saddam for violating the first gulf war cease fire conditions, and has taken out some pretty high ranking Al Quaeda's. Count 'em up. Plus, kids in Iraq are in newly built schools, people are walking the streets without too much fear like they had, they don't have to appease a ruler for fear of having their hands or tongue cut off or eyes gouged out or family killed over things as stupid as whether you hung a picture of your leader facing the wrong direction or things equally as ridiculous. There's lot of healing going on and a new life for those folks. CLinton didn't dare touch it. He couldnt even go after those responsible for the Cole bombing, but Bush did, and got 'em too. Having to do all that AND keep unemployment and interest rates down until late isnt too too bad. I guess the question to ask is could it be worse? yes. If this is where we are with a tough guy at the helm, imagine how bad the world must truely be. Tough job. I wouldnt want it. There's a lot of plates to keep spinning in the air, first to spin them, then to keep ground under your feet so you can keep spinning them. Damned if ya do and damned if ya don't. For all we know Osama is in 10,000 little pieces some place.
"Kerry or Gore would have even been better than

Should be interesting to behold and compare next Thanksgiving season what President Bush was able to manage and avoid compared to what happens to this country when the feel good vote President, and the wealthy factions that wish to see this nation reduced to the lowest common denominator control the banks, military and creation of laws.

We are damn lucky. If Gore had been at the helm on 9-11, by now we would be Britain, and if Kerry had been at the helm on 9-11, by now we would be Spain.
drunyan8315 on November 29, 2008 at 9:54 AM
– a 5 year war in Iraq
That we're winning?
– failing to kill Bin Laden and the AQ leadership
Clinton failed to capture him when he had the opportunity.
– nation building in Afghanistan
– amnesty
I think we can all agree that 80% of the politicians failed on this.
– medicare D
Don't need socialized medicine.
– highways bill, farm bill, 11 trillion deficit, selling the country to China, Japan and the Saudis
I will thank the Democratic party for drastically increasing minimum wage. Honestly, who has worked a job that's paid that lately? Ridiculous.
– complete wasted opportunity in 2002 with the GOP congress to allow drilling, cut government, get rid of entitlements, get rid of fannie and freddie
Republicans warned the Dems in charge about Fannie and Freddie. Don't believe me? Go look at footage of them saying there was no issue. There wasn't a gas shortage in 2002. I'll agree on big government. I have no opinion on entitlements.

Clarifying the point I was making, by making it so companies pay workers ridiculous amount of money to employees why not ship jobs over seas to people that are happy to work for the wages.
scrubbiedude on November 29, 2008 at 10:01 AM
CLinton didn't dare touch it.
Unless there was a cigar between it and his fingers.
Clinton turned out to be a despicable liar, with no honor or code of dignity. The military suffered under his and Gore's budget cuts, which stripped the military, much like Barrack Hussein intends to exercise (or at least that is what he promised).
I love when some armchair general starts crying that Bin Laden might still be alive, when they are dumb enough to elect a president with a name that Ted Kennedy can't even distinguish from the man and the culture they want dead. Clinton had multiple chances to stop Bin Laden before the attack on this country, but memories are very convieniant.
Hening on November 29, 2008 at 10:02 AM
One further strength Bush exuded during presidency. He did not respond to trolls…..talking head trolls, right and left wingnuts, talk-show gas bags, the list goes on and on. One of the best things he did, is his restoration of dignity to the office. That, in my estimation, is what gets the left so frothy. They lost the moral and ethical high ground with Clinton. President Bush re-elevated the the bully pulpit. Thank you for that President Bush.
Cold Steel on November 29, 2008 at 10:02 AM
There are a few points I have disagreed with Pres. Bush, the border and illegals, but I believe that he is an honest man who stood by his principles… I am fed up with the BDS, and the ilk that it has produced. I say to any Democrat who tells us we all need to get along and root for Pres ELECT Obama, I will treat him with the respect that you have treated Pres. Bush.
reshas1 on November 29, 2008 at 10:08 AM
One further strength Bush exuded during presidency. He did not respond to trolls…..talking head trolls, right and left wingnuts, talk-show gas bags, the list goes on and on.
But that also hurt him. He never really did master the art of the bully pulpit–of sidestepping a frequently hostile and disdainful media and getting his message directly out to the American people as Reagan did so masterfully. To a large extent, the generally and unfairly poor opinion held of his presidency is because of this failure to do a good job in communicating why he did what he did and why it was necessary. For the most part, he was poorly served by his press teams and media advisers as well as suffering from his own weaknesses in communication.
Much of his low popularity could have been averted by a much more effective public outreach–that–more than anything else is what has hurt him the most.
Matt Helm on November 29, 2008 at 10:15 AM
I take to heart Bush didn't do things for political reasons. Heck, he got rid of Rumsfeld the week AFTER the 2006 elections. If he'd have done it the week before, who knows, maybe a dozen Repub seats could have been saved. He never whined, or complained. He told his press secretary not to defend attacks against him. He said we'll know in 40 years if going into Iraq was the right thing to do. LBJ didn't want to be the 1st prez to lose a war, so he escalated Vietnam. Bush, he's one of the few presidents who cares little about his legacy, compared to doing what he thinks is right for the country. Bush was a very decent, principled man. Compare to Obama, whining and complaining. And what are Obama's values, his principles? Does he ever have any? Oh, I'm just too stupid to know what they are. His pragmatism passed all understanding.

Watch those same people mindlessly cheering Obama for the next 30 years, whether he does a good job or not.
Idiots let others do their thinking for them.

You've GOT to be kidding!! If either of those two had been in office, the world would STILL be waiting for our response to 9-11!!! There would be no Quwait, and Sadaam would be selling A-bombs all over the Mideast!!
There also might be no Taiwan, with the result that all electronic goods would be much more expensive and trade with China would be at a much lower level. Flat screens would still be a laboratory curiosity and much too expensive for consumers.
Either of these two would have been bad for us, bad for the Mideast, bad for China, bad for the world.

not going to have a popular 2-Term GOP/Conservative POTUS without doing something about the MSM. Unless one gets office when suddenly there are no major national security threats and 'big things' that have to be confronted.
bush stayed at 50% popularity or higher until some point in 2005, the constant bad press then the lies spun out of Katrina was the nail in that coffin. Downhill from that point.

jp on November 29, 2008 at 10:33 AM
I remain inordinately proud of my 2004 vote for George W. Bush, and immensely proud of the man himself. I have enormous affection and respect for the man.
And more to the point, I'm utterly secure in the knowledge that my respect and affection are well-placed. I had no ideological or partisan blinders on; he is the first Republican I voted for at the presidential level. And I recognize his failings, most notably in communicating his vision.
But I have exactly zero doubt that history will prove me – and President Bush – right. Even the most casual student of history can cite dozens of examples of great men (American and non-American alike) condemned in their time and later revered by history.
President Bush will be one of them. In fact, its already happening; I expected the current situation in Iraq to take at least another decade to develop.
Historians will get it right. No one else really matters.
Professor Blather on November 29, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Sorry, gotta disagree. Bush made some major mistakes and IMHO they happened primarily because he didn't want to hear bad news and didn't want to consider opposing viewpoints. I don't know if that was because he was scared, because of his principles or because he just couldn't belive he could be wrong. I think Kerry or Gore would have listened.
His failure to sell the Iraq war to the US public and the Wall Street collapse ultimately led to Obama's election. On the Iraq war, he probably could have sold it if he hadn't used the WMDs as the primary justification, and there were others he could have used.

Brian1972 on November 29, 2008 at 8:08 AM
Doing the right thing is not always the popular thing to do. President Bush told us shortly after 9-11 this was not going to be an easy war, some of our soldiers would come home dead, but not forgotten. Democracy and freedom bear a price, which has been the burden of the United States wherever we can find it.
President Bush inherited this financial mess from the Clinton administration, as admitted recently by former president Clinton, who admitted that he was mostly to blame for Fannie/Freddie getting out of hand.Guess he too busy with that cigar thing to give a shit about the future of the United States.
Anyone care to think what kind of moonbat society we would have with Al Gore as POTUS?–well, hang on to ure asses because the american people have elected the new HMIC (head moonbat in charge)who will take us to even greater levels of stupidity than ever thought possible.
In the days and months ahead, the Republican Party needs a new start, a focused agenda which is more than "we aren't them!" clearly stating objectives and giving us an obtainable goal through responsible legislation and leadership.
Sarah Palin has a huge opportunity to lead us out of the wilderness (no pun intended) and back into the mainstream, but we need a way to stop the moonbats from spreading their outright lies, and we need to stop them wherever they appear, from `joe the plumber filing massive lawsuits against the state of ohio, to thr republican party getting into the 21st century and being superior technologically than the moonbat party/and press. We really need to "take the gloves off" and smack these punks around a bit so they get a real taste of whats coming.
Thank You Mr President for not getting my ass blown up, poisoned, suitcased bombed, or otherwise fucked with so that I can enjoy my freedoms right here right now and enjoy my new granddaughter.

As i was asking last night about what Kerry and Gore would have done about Iraq, the mystery still is out there on that subject. None here or myself seems to know what they would have done. Kerry never did explain what he would do but still had plenty of Monday morning quarterbacking on the subject. This alone I think helped Kerry lose back in 04. As for the Amnesty issue, I can't think of any demo that put security before amnesty on the borders. There are not that many gop ones who are for that either. Bush was pretty stubborn on this issue alone. Now it looks like McCain and BO have identical opinions on the border issue.
garydt on November 29, 2008 at 11:35 AM
They had a majority. They should have done something about it. Instead they cowed to the "you're racist!" remarks from the Dems.
Do they have enough majority to do anything about it? No probably not. But it's kinda nice how Dems turned it around on Bush and blame him for it.
scrubbiedude on November 29, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Kerry who? Where is he and where the hell is the VP elect Biden hiding? Oh maybe at his favorite Home Depot having coffee with his buddies. Ya never see these guys anymore.
I cant believe some of the posts on here. This article is truely articulating the beliefs of the commenters here. I thought this was a conservative site but its obvious that a good deal of the people on here are of the Peggy Noonan Kathleen Parker dredge. Whats the matter? Tired of coworkers calling you a repuke? Rethuglican? Have to refute President Bush on his way out the door? Do you feel better now?
Let me tell you something, Clinton stuck his finger in ther air made policy based on the current political winds. He is looked at as one of the finest presidents in history. Not for me. Bush came into office and governed with morals and values and swore that no American will be hurt again on American soil as long as I am president. If he asked me, I would grab a gun and stand a post because I know he would be asking me out of his belief that he would do it himself if he could.
His problem, he wouldnt go on tv and tell them American people why the media was wrong. He did what he thought was right and never apologized for it. I will run into battle with that type of character 3 times from Sunday.
Give it 10 years, lets see what happens with the history books when the Iraquis build a statue off President Bush in Baghdad. Until then, I will start standing in line now to buy his memoirs that will be coming out in the next few years.

Again well said Broker the only difference between Clinton and Kerry is that you knew what was coming down the pike with him. He would stick his finger to test the winds. Kerry was just not informing us on how he would do things. Lincoln and Truman never would do such things. They were of what was right for the nation instead of what is right for the party or Kerry himself.

AnotherRightWingConspirator on November 29, 2008 at 12:28 PM
As i was asking last night about what Kerry and Gore would have done about Iraq, the mystery still is out there on that subject
I think Gore would've taken down Saddam, and had he done it exactly the same way W did, the nation would be much better informed by the media over Saddam's history and ties to terrorist. They would've made him out to be a national hero and rallyed the nation behind the Democrats and their "strong leadership" in the face of barbarians.
Go to Youtube and see the 1992 Gore video in which he criticized the first Bush for Allowing Saddam to stay in Power and cited all his terrorist ties.
What I think happened was Bush was hugely popular after 9/11, the GOP won an off-year election in 2002 and talk of "permanent GOP majority" set in. THe Dems/Media/Leftist could not allow such a thing to happen and had the power to Lie, Spin, Mislead, etc. about the war, or even Katrina for that matter and it gradually wore on the American people.
Had the Democrats not politicized everything, they would've lost the courts forever to conservative judges not to mention political power which they covet as their god. Its sick, if Obama is faced with a national crisis, criticizing him will not be tolerated in this culture by MSM and they'll try to make him an FDR style war-hero and consolidate long-term political power from it.

If we all knew what Bush and Cheney know the conversation on this board and across America would be much different. Immigration and the other domestic issues would likely look like small potatoes.

Man oh man…lots of people with lots to say. Much of it 20/20 .
MOST of it with one hand in their pants,and the other in a bag of cheato's. With the occasional typed word every two minutes.
W will be remembered as a great president if Iraq and aphganistan succeed. Simple as that. Nothing else will matter. The risk of all risks.
The fannie freddie stuff wont matter. Especially since its going to hang on the dems. They own it from the non action that they took in 2002 and 2006 and they will own it during B.O.s tenure. It wont be pretty.
There isnt a single thing that W will be judged by other than 9-11 related issues.
Thats that.
The economy was fine (what did the market peek to? 14000 PLUS??) before the dems killed it with the credit crisis.
The immigration thing is just a non starter. We conservatives are killing ourselves on the handeling of this issue. And it appears that we are going to continue stepping on our well formed tushey's on it. Too bad. I hate to see smart, informed people stepping in a bag of burning poo over and over and over again. Cuz it forces me to keep asking myself.."We are the smarter party, right?"
Nope….'W' will be remembered for 9-11 handling. And for liberating Iraq and Afghanistan. And those are mighty big accomplishments. That and his court nominees were his tasks. And he hit it out of the park on those tasks.
God Bless ya "W".
You are more president than half of this country deserves and sadly more president than some in the other half are smart enough to appreciate.
Handel on November 29, 2008 at 1:43 PM
The problem with Bush is he didn't use his Bully Pulpit. He should have made fools out of the Democrats when they refused to buy in on regulating of Freddie and Fanny. But alas he never had the media on his side so that message never would have gotten out. He tried to tackle some dangerous issues. Not as big as "don't ask don't tell" but pretty big ones.
No student left behind, Medicare the immigration issue. I didn't agree with him on immigration but he wasn't afraid to try to solve it. The war I agreed with, yes! It was an imperfect plan, but no war plan has ever been perfect. If you listen to his speeches in the beginning of the war it went the way he said. Long and hard fought.
Bush never said we would walk in and finish the war in 2, 3 years time he said it could last generations. It probably will.
The problem with Bush is he isn't a communicator and the communications industry wanted payback for Clinton's impeachment. I always loved the Clinton Kool-Aid drinkers who said we wasted million on impeaching the President over sex.
Well the Dims wasted 10 X that trying to get President Bush.
And will continue long after he is gone.
Bush is a man of principal. His mind was never governed by polls.

I wish he had some free-market principles.

In the lifetime of every American, we will have many presidents. For each of us, though, we will each come to love and respect one president more than any others. For me, George W. Bush is that president.
conservative_in_texas on November 28, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Me too.
Bush inherited some problems, and was confronted by tragedy and did his best to deal with these issues. And as many have remarked, we haven't been attacked since 2001. And that is to his credit.
I will always believe that the war in Iraq was the lesser of two evils. Do it now, on our terms when we have some chance of controlling and minimizing causalities, American and Iraqi, or wait till later when an unprepared administration will be forced to react to a situation far worse with the consequence of millions of lives lost. It's difficult to believe that Saddam Hussein, who shot his way into power in Iraq, would sit peacefully and calmly and watch Al Qaeda take the First place prize among Islamic terrorists for inflicting the worst damage in recent history on the US.
The war in Iraq obviously cost the US a great deal of money. But our economic situation was mostly generated by greed and the abandonment of capitalistic principles and ideology by people in the market – investors, bankers, brokers, and consumers. It's idiocy to solely blame Bush for the state of the economy.
Bush has a strong character. Some people are just threatened and put off by that.
God bless Bush and his family. I wish him well.

You know, every effort that President Bush made to reach across the aisle and work to assure bipartisan agreement, for example with No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D, was a concession to heal the breach with the Dems. Yet they sniped and snarled and downright lied when their own partisanship proved more important to them. Conservatives were not happy with Bush's compromises, but just as Reagan did, W chose his own battles.
Multiple issues around the world beyond Iraq and Afghanistan faced this president, and he handled them with grace under pressure. His decisions were made with our nation's interests in security and economic stability at heart. He was not motivated by courting public opinion, for it is fickle.
Gore, Kerry, and now Obama are so subsumed in their own grandiose egos that it is difficult to fathom any of them making a decision and having the courage and humility to stand by what they deemed right, knowing what was known at the time.
Obama seems to have sobered up and backed away from his high-flying rhetoric, having been privy to national security information.
The Dems' all-purpose empty promise to "negotiate" as a panacea to conflicts ignores the reality that negotiations at the international level are taking place all of the time. Successful negotiations are arbitrated when both sides see a possibility for a face-saving win/win and when both sides rely on carrots and sticks. Gore, Kerry, and Obama have given the impression that negotiation means that we are willing to secure "peace in our time" by making all of the concessions.
It is part of the BIG LIE that President Bush did not listen to contrary opinions when making decisions. The ones who perpetrated that narrative were partisan opponents buried in career positions. They leaked security information to the media and created the "bubble" template. From the beginning, the media were adversarial (unlike the uncritical, uninquisitive treatment afforded Obama).
Similarly, the charge that he surrounded himself with cronies has to be laughed at with abandon when one objectively looks at the Clinton staffing and the Obama staffing of Clinton-redux.
And speaking of laughter, Bush able to laugh at himself and joke about his personal foibles. I have yet to hear a Democrat politician laugh at himself and not at a vicious slur against a member of the opposing party.

hamer500 on November 29, 2008 at 6:16 PM
I still see the bush haters what Kerry or gore's alternatives to be in regard to keeping Saddam in check. If they negotiate like they did to Bush's overtures to them then their negotiating skills with our enemies would be about as fruitless. I guess I will have to wait another four years to find out what Kerry's plan was.

reagant on November 29, 2008 at 11:17 PM
Sorry, gotta disagree. Bush made some major mistakes and IMHO they happened primarily because he didn't want to hear bad news and didn't want to consider opposing viewpoints. I don't know if that was because he was scared, because of his principles or because he just couldn't belive he could be wrong. I think Kerry or Gore would have listened.
His failure to sell the Iraq war to the US public and the Wall Street collapse ultimately led to Obama's election. On the Iraq war, he probably could have sold it if he hadn't used the WMDs as the primary justification, and there were others he could have used.
jim m on November 29, 2008 at 10:37 AM
You're making what you think is a reasonable point, but it's all based on media misinformation. There's utterly no evidence that Bush refused to hear bad news or opposing viewpoints. That's a drive-by media smear.
And it was not Bush who fixated on the WMD's in Iraq. The msm got very frustrated with the Bush administration for giving multiple reasons to go into Iraq, rather than just one. They kept insisting there could only be one reason. It was the msm that basically decided that WMD's were that reason.
For the past eight years, the media have shown a hostility to President Bush that could only be compared to their hatred and loathing of Reagan. They smeared him repeatedly for "botching" Katrina, when it was really botched by the local government, specifically Mayor Ray Nagin in New Orleans and Governor Kathleen Blanco in Louisiana. The state of Mississippi had no such problems, even though Katrina actually touched down on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, not in New Orleans.
I can virtually guarantee that if Katrina had been handled exactly the same, but the president had been a Democrat, no one would be talking about how Katrina was botched.
The media gets it wrong, as always. The real problems with the Bush administration stemmed from his attempts to be a "uniter, not a divider." He didn't hold the line on spending, because he was trying to get a Democratic congress to work with him. He tried to give them the spending they craved while structuring it to give more power to the people rather than the government.
But it's plain to see it was a waste of time. His approach worked in Texas, where even the Texas Democrats had tremendous respect for their Republican governor. But in the nation's capitol, it's a Total War situation. And the infamy will be seen in the number of people who mock him as a "divider, not a uniter." Sadly, you can't be nice to Democrats in the federal government. They'll only take advantage of the opportunity to smear you.
So why is the federal government a different ball game? Probably because the media largely ignore state governments, and focus all their attention on the federal government. And the war against President Bush was fought in the media, specifically.

Care to provide some examples of Bush's lawlessness.
The border between Mexico and America, the actions of the INS, the persecution of Border Agents who try to control the law breaking
the head of Homeland Security threatening that he might soon have to start enforcing the law on border control (and still retaining his job under Bush)
The pretense of the construction of the Fence at the border
The diversion of funds to build the fence to slow the construction
The dog and pony show of prosecution of a few select businesses for employing illegals, during which prosecutions, the illegal employees are released to continue being 'illegals'
I can find a bunch of illegal and improper acts by the Clintons, from the misuse of FBI files, to improper campaign comtributions, to lying under oath about an affair, and a whole bunch of legal but despicable acts by the Clintons, like allowing intercontinental ballistic technology to be transferred to China etc
However, nothing can match the blatant interference with law and order at the border by Bush and his blatant encouragment of hiring illegals in all businesses, and his games played with dog and pony fines and raids to pretend to the public he was enforcing the law, when his own deputy admitted on his behalf that they were not enforcing the many many laws on this issue.
Bush did something that exceeded the petty and personal corruptions of the Clinton administration, and exceeded IMHO the dangerous mistakes of the Clinton administration in handing out technology to equalize the world balance.
Bush decided that our border was not to be protected, despite his Presidential oath to the contrary. He blatantly had his agents restrict enforcement. He made a decision to ignore and defeat an entire body of law because he did not like it. He acted through his agents to punish government employees who tried to uphold the law.
Bush could have wirked to legally end the border control laws. However the laws stand because the public wants these laws. So Bush and like minded politicians made a decision to keep the laws but ignore them preferentially.
This is something Bush can take credit for and it is as bad as can be for our nation.
If Clinton started a trend that 'oral sex' is not really 'sex'
Bush has begun the trend that a President must ignore and thwart the enforcement of laws he disagrees with
This makes the friendly Bush the more dangerous man to hold the national trust

The DEMS would hardly impeach Bush for aiding them politically and demographically by selectively enforcing border and immigration law. Bush's open border policy fed the motor voter demographic that helps DEMs. Even if Bush's moves were no longer needed, the DEMs would still not impeach him on this issue, because it would insult the new demographic that proved so useful in the recent election, and that they are counting on for the next.
Ultimately the buck stopped at the chief executive. Impeached or not he set the most dangerous precendent, deciding the Executor of the law has the right to select which laws he will enforce
There is no question he had decided it was for a higher good

and given succour to illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigration was a problem long before Bush: you're conveniently forgetting that President Reagan (even though we love and honor him) gave over 3 million outright amnesty and many more took advantage of it.

As soon as Barack Obama's election was announced, Russia began rattling its sabre, threatening missiles in the Baltic and claiming Alaska for its own. Al Qaeda launched a major attack in Mumbai. We'll see more of the some, certainly; Joe Biden (incredibly) was not wrong about this.
What it demonstrates is that the world's leaders, and especially the world's bad guys, respect George W. Bush. They did not do these things on his watch, because they'd learned the hard way that his responses had teeth. We'll know some measure of what we were spared during his administration by the incidents that will follow in the coming months — and if Obama responds weakly, then we'll learn the full measure of what we were spared, the hard way.
George W. Bush did plenty that deserves criticism: spending out of control, well-intentioned but wrong-headed education policy, expanding the federal medical bureaucracy, a poor approach to immigration, and the failure to use the veto pen over such abberations as McCain-Feingold. His worst failure was his complete inability to sell his agenda to the American people; he was entirely the hockey puck of the leftist media.
However, historians will note his success at protecting the nation during a particularly dangerous era; and if my expectations about Obama turn out to be correct, we'll get a very, very clear picture of how well Bush protected us from the negative image of how poorly Obama will.
For the past eight years, the media have shown a hostility to President Bush that could only be compared to their hatred and loathing of Reagan
Consider that those who have experienced the (economic)wrath of Reagan have pushed for a prompt end to his ideology. They have nearly all of that in their hands. For their efforts, they have been rewarded.

One of those values that our President likes to be so smug and self-righteous about was that of allowing our Sovereign southern border to be seriously breeched with the resulting chaos. Especially along the border states. As a Nation we may never recover. George Bush and his fellow GOP "transnationalists" are pushing the eventual global governance by organizations outside of our Nation. ( LINK ) George Bush was not the "Cowboy" that we elected but a product of Ivy League universities. A globalist/elitist. He did a few good things but all good was canceled out. Some of the values that the President carries are flawed and wrong. We had a chance to become a strong sovereign Nation again under GOP governance. They sold us out. Darvin Dowdy

Highest-Paid Female Executives Also Earn Less Than Men
And are vastly outnumbered.
Bloomberg did a gender analysis of America's most high-powered executives: "Last year, of the five best-paid executives at each of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index companies, 198 were women, or 8 percent of the total. Those high-achievers on average earned $5.3 million, 18 percent less than men." Lean on.

Florida to receive $170 million in education grants
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced recently Florida will receive $170.2 million through the School Improvement Grant program to turn around persistently poor performing schools throughout the state.
The money comes from the $3.5 billion set aside by last year's federal budget and the federal stimulus.
The tax rate imposed by the Suwannee River Water Management District will go up for the first time in 20 years if its governing board holds to its tentative tax rate approved on July 13.
The SRWMD's Governing Board approved a tentative $61.6 million-dollar budget for the upcoming fiscal year and and a tax rate of 0.4934 mills at the last meeting held in Live Oak. The tax rate increase represents 0.0535 of a mill. A mill is a tax rate of $1 per every $1,000 of assessed property value.
The Levy Association of Retarded Citizens is losing clients and funding is being cut, but the doors are still open and the insurance needs to be paid to keep them open.
That was the situation outlined by LARC Executive Director Betty Walker at Tuesday's Board of County Commissioners meeting.
County bookkeeping makes the grade
The annual audit of the county's books drew a good grade from the auditor Alan Nast of Carr Rigga & Ingram LLC .
Nast said the report was "unqualified" — meaning good, no exceptions were found — for the fiscal year 2008-09.
"That is the highest level of assurance that we can give," he told the Levy County Board of Commissioners in their regular Tuesday meeting.
The only recommendation Nast made was for more internal controls on purchasing.
Fanning Springs voters will go to the polls on Nov. 2 to choose three council members and a mayor in a nonpartisan election, according to a resolution passed by the City Council.
Voters may also find themselves going to the polls for a primary on Oct. 5 if more than two candidates file in one of the four offices.
City voter registration books in Levy and Gilchrist counties will be closed on September 6.
Anyone not registered to vote in Levy County has until 4 p.m. July 26 to get registered for the Aug. 24 primary.
The Supervisor of Elections Connie Asbell will be closing the books at the close of business on that date. The office is located at 421 South Court Street, Bronson, Florida.
If you have any questions, please call 352-486-5163 Ext. 4.
Early voting begins on Aug. 9 and continues through Aug. 22.
A one-vehicle crash on Thursday evening on County Road 326 east of the intersection of Southeast 160 Avenue has left six members of a Bronson family hospitalized.
No one asked Levy County Sheriff Johnny Smith about the 3 percent pay raise he gave deputies in May when he spoke at the Levy Board of County Commissioners' budget workshop on Monday.
When Smith mentioned it, he was told how he spends money budgeted by the commissioners is up to him. He was also told to cut his request down by 5 percent from this year's funding.
That pay raise was on the minds of many as a parade of county department and agency heads pitched their budget request, then said while workers were glad to have jobs, they would like to get a 3 percent raise.
City residents will end up paying less property tax this year if the city commission holds to last year's tax rate.
"I don't want to get shot over increasing taxes," Commissioner Rollin Hudson told the other commissioners at Monday night's first budget meeting of the year.
The other commissioners agreed that the rate should once again be set at 4.75 mills. A mill is a tax rate of $1 per every $1,000 of assessed property value.
Technology has come a long way in terms of communications, especially in emergency management.
Satellites, the Internet and other forms of technology have contributed greatly to keep people in touch when disaster strikes. But a form of communication that is almost a century old is still the most reliable way to stay in contact.
Ham radios are still in use today, and they play a key part in emergency plans. The devices are a central component of Levy County's communications tools.

This is huge. ICE Union president Chris Crane was invited on the Mark Levin Show tonight to explain how the Obama administration is cooking the books on immigration enforcement. What he said was pretty shocking.
According to Crane, ICE agents can no longer make street arrests of people they suspect to be an illegal aliens, illegal alien gang members or illegal alien criminals, despite having the authority to do so by laws enacted by Congress. He says they are under orders to wait until the illegal alien commits a crime, gets arrested by law enforcement and booked into a jail before they can even intercede.
Then they must wait until the illegal alien is convicted of 3 or more criminal offenses before they can put them in deportation process.
When it comes to cooking the immigration books, Crane says the record number of deportations that the Obama administration touts is a complete fraud. He calls it a shell game, saying what really happens is illegal aliens caught crossing the border by the Border Patrol and then sent back across are now added to ICE's numbers of deportations, thus inflating the numbers immensely. Crane said last year over 50% of the deportations in ICE's numbers were from those the border patrol agents caught and sent back across.
In reality, Crane says they now have the numbers to show that since 2008, the actual number of ICE deportations has plummeted since 2008.
Crane explains in more detail to Mark Levin in the clip below:
If you'd rather listen to the full interview, it also includes discussion on the current immigration bill and how Crane says he is being almost completely ignored by the gang of eight in the Senate. He's had hardly any input into the bill.

That's like saying 4 July is all about hot dogs, hamburgers and fireworks.
Celebrating beating a French Army…Bet a lot of places can do that.
Looked this up, on Wikipedia, so it wasn't exactly deep research:
The French army at the time was on a roll… no losses for many years. The Mexicans were outnumbered and not well supplied. The victory was significant and had an impact on the American Civil war as the French were supportive of the Confederacy.
Just imagine if the Mexican patriots had lost to the French? Now imagine the CSA and French Mexico signing a mutual aid accord during the American war between the States? Now think of various nightmare scenarios of the Civil War being lost by the Union, Stalemated, drawn out to 10 years or more. See where though this wasn't the end of the French-Mexican war it was a significant win for the Mexican side at that time.
So true ….great to look at history and imagine what if. If the British had colonized Mexico I wouldn't have a job now ha! I teach ESL in Mexico!!!
They never mention the second battle of Puebla, France ended up capturing Mexico City. But the French and the conservatives, Mexico's traitors who supported the French army and their phony Austrian Emperor, were defeated using only guerrilla warfare tactics.
we beat the French before it was cool!

Seaview House Hotel4

"As described, the hotel was full of antiques. The soft furnishings also seemed to come from a byegone era. We were disappointed with the way..."
About the hotel
s Kathleen O'Sullivan says: "I would never have called it Seaview with so many trees in the front. " Equally, she's ponders how to describe her establishment. "It's really a country house - with country house cooking," she says.
In that case, it's country house cooking of a very high order indeed, having won many international plaudits and here, in particular, one detects the particular passion that puts this establishment high on the 'must visit' list. Dozens of homely and cosy touches help sustain the warmth of the welcome well beyond the front door. There's the absence of 'hotel furniture', in favour of many fine antique pieces. A dining room with many nooks and crannies, is fuelled by a kitchen of great quality and a very good cellar and there's a relaxing sitting room that also includes a well stocked bar. All this, set in a coastal country that is a joy for leisurely touring. Indeed, anyone in a hurry will miss the point - or worse, miss Seaview House Hotel. Whatever name it goes by, a host of satisfied visitors would be pleased to call it home. Two AA Rosettes for food. Gilbeys Gold Medal Award for Catering Excellence.

Hotel still in the 1940s, lovely breakfast but dirty towel
As described, the hotel was full of antiques.
The soft furnishings also seemed to come from a byegone era. We were disappointed with the way the staff managed a housekeeping problem - we asked for a replacement towel, as one of them had been through the wash but was still marked with make-up. Although they replaced it quickly, we were repeatedly told that the towel was clean despite the staining and we were making a fuss over nothing, when really it should have been taken out of service. Also embarassingly, the hotel did not know how much late rooms had charged us, so we had to log onto our email to look it up before we could check out. On the plus side, the breakfast was lovely.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2013
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:09.
Courses taught by Kelly Doran
01211: Landscape Architecture III: Third Semester Core Studio (STU 0121100)
Landscape Architecture
Core Studio - 8 credits
Tuesday Thursday 12:30 - 6:00
Pierre Bélanger, Philippe Coignet, Robert Pietrusko, Luis Rodrigo Callejas Mujica, Kelly Doran, Rosetta Elkin, Andrea Hansen, Niall Kirkwood
Course Description
Addressing the inertia of urban planning and the overexertion of civil engineering in the 20th century, this course focuses on the design of large, complex, contaminated brownfield sites with a regional, ecological and infrastructural outlook. Employing the agency of regional ecology and landscape infrastructure as the dominant drivers of design, the studio involves the development of biodynamic and biophysical systems that provide flexible yet directive patterns for future urbanization. Through a series of contemporary mapping methods, field measures, case studies, readings and design investigations, the course results in a series of collaborative exercises leading to a large scale design project and future scenarios. Drawing from canonical case studies on regional reclamation strategies from across the world, the studio is further enhanced by a robust, regional representation program. Focusing on the metrics of geospatial representation and remote sensing, two intensive workshops throughout the term of the studio didactically deal with the interrelated subjects of regional cartography and site topography as operative and telescopic instruments of design across scales. Contributing to a complex, multi-layered profiling of the site as 'system' and the reformulation of program as 'process', the studio establishes a base platform for engaging an array of complex issues related to site contamination, biophysical systems, regional ecology, land cover, urban infrastructure and economic geography. Precluding conventional forms of urban development such as housing or retail development, the penultimate objective of the course is to explore and articulate the potential effectiveness of broader and longer range strategies where biophysical systems prefigure as the denominator for re-envisioning public infrastructures and regional urban economies in the future.
02141: Landscape Representation I (VIS 0214100)
Landscape Architecture
Lecture Workshop - 4 credits
Tuesday Thursday 10:00 - 11:30 Gund 124
Zaneta Hong, Kelly Doran
Course Description
This course introduces students to the history, techniques, and conventions of representation used in the field of landscape architecture. Rather than a static description of a set design agenda, landscape representation is an active means for understanding and building complexity in design work. The primary objective of the course is the cultivation of a drawing practice that facilitates critical thinking, the testing of design ideas, and effective communication. The course begins with a five-day pre-semester workshop that introduces students to orthographic projection through a reading of precedent drawings. Students work with a range of two- and three-dimensional drawing and representation types, including orthographic, axonometric, and perspective projections, sketching, and model making. Emphasis is placed on concurrent and iterative development of analog and digital representation techniques; analog media include graphite, ink, and mixed media; and digital software includes AutoCAD, Adobe Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign) and Rhino. Classes consist of lectures, assignment tutorials, and pin-ups.
Topics and assignments for GSD 2141 are closely integrated with GSD 1111: Landscape Architecture I Design Studio and are designed to provide strategies and tools for approaching studio work. Evaluation will be based on class participation and a series of weekly exercises; grades will reflect growth made throughout the semester. There are no prerequisites.

I have a problem in understanding the exact meaning of degenerate eigenvalue. I have some database and I calculate the covariance matrix among it. the obtained eigenvalues are same ( all of them =5000) and the obtained eigenvectors are different each other and orthogonal. what does that tell? I know in this case covariance matrix is symmetric and diagonal. eigenspace forms a sphere. But is there any advantage of this eigenspace ( any special property)?
Let your covariance matrix be $X^TX$, where $X$ is the data matrix. Put your eigenvectors together to form an invertible matrix $P$. Your computation result shows that $X^TXP=5000P$, i.e. $X^TX=5000I$.
Since every set of $n$ linearly independent vectors (be they orthogonal or not) form an eigenbasis of a scalar matrix in $\mathbb{R}^n$, I don't think there is anything special about the eigenbasis you obtained. What is special, however, is the data matrix itself. The fact that $X^TX=5000I$ indicates that, without a change of basis, the random variables in question are already uncorrelated and have identical variances ($5000$). If these random variables are jointly normal, we can further conclude that they are mutually independent.

WASHINGTON The United States will face pressure to open its borders to more foreign workers in the service industry in talks slated to start later this year, a difficult issue for U.S. trade negotiators over the past decade, business officials said on Friday.
"It's inevitable that that's going to be on the table," said Jake Colvin, vice president at the National Foreign Trade Council, which represents major U.S. exporters such as Boeing Co (BA.N), Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and Caterpillar Inc (CAT.N).
Peter Allgeier, president of Coalition of Service Industries, whose members include Citigroup Inc (C.N), FedEx (FDX.N) and Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N), agreed it would be a major demand on the United States in the talks, which are expected to start in coming months.
Professionals from around the world would like to work in the United States temporarily, Allgeier said.
The proposed talks covering service sectors such as telecommunications, finance and express delivery are expected to include the United States, Japan, the European Union and a mix of 18 other developed and developing countries.
The aim is to establish the rules for international services trade in the 21st century, including in new areas such as the Internet where countries are increasingly imposing barriers on cross-border data flows, Allgeier said.
Although big emerging countries such as China, India and Brazil are not currently part of the proposed talks, participants hope they will eventually join.
The United States is already is the world's largest services exporters and could benefit significantly from the pact.
Calls for the United States to provide more visas for skilled workers has been a sensitive issue in the past.
Many U.S. lawmakers objected in 2003 when the administration of former President George W. Bush agreed in free trade pacts with Singapore and Chile to provide additional H-1B1 visas for their business professionals to work in the United States.
That led to a letter by then-U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick promising the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee not to include such provisions in future trade pacts.
The issue also hung over the unsuccessful Doha round of world trade talks. India became convinced the United States would not provide more visas and resisted demands to open its manufacturing and agriculture markets, Allgeier said.
However, the Obama administrations and senior lawmakers are promising action this year on a comprehensive immigration reform bill, which could include more visas for high-skilled workers.
That potentially could free the United States' hands to deal with visa demands in talks on the services pact.
The United States also will likely face pressure in the negotiations to lower barriers in sectors such as shipping, telecommunications and air travel, Allgeier said.

Lubbock, Texas
Lubbock is an American city in the state of Texas. Located in the northwestern part of the state, a region known historically as the Llano Estacado, it is the county seat of Lubbock County, and the home of Texas Tech University.
Lubbock's nickname is the "Hub City" which derives from being the economic, education, and health care hub of a multi-county region commonly called the South Plains. The area is the largest contiguous cotton-growing region in the world and is heavily dependent on irrigation water drawn from the Ogallala Aquifer.

Product Description
`Elegant, rigorous, fresh, P. K. Page's work sings with a voice of independent character and maenad conjecture. It is a creature that lives on its own terms and terrain. It is startling, authoritative, and anti-sentimental, able to bear cool as well as passionate gazing at our own species. Her poems are always thinking -- each line is thinking, while its six senses remain impeccably alert. Her poems live by wit, wisdom, sass, suspense and a muscular lissome synapse and diction. They are daring in scope, meticulous in accomplishment, and boldly moral -- with a lovely flavour of amoral verve! We fall under the charm of her reasoning, of her fecund, fastidious imagination, of her many musics, and of her necessariness to us, her essentialness.'(Griffin Prize citation)
`There is an irony to moving: while the primary change seems to be an external one, it is often the subtle, internal one that is the most profound. The more exotic the locale, the more exotic the inner change. Canadian poet P.K. Page tracks the course of this transformation in her book Brazilian Journal. In 1957, Page moved to Brazil with her husband, where he was assigned as Canadian ambassador. Loath to move there at first, she is slowly drawn in by Brazil and soon comes to love it. Gradually, a change takes place. While a writer by trade, Page begins to gravitate towards the visual, becoming entranced by Brazil's natural beauty, eventually turning from poetry to drawing and painting in an effort to capture her surroundings.
`Despite being seduced by the outer world, Page's journal entries remain rich in observation. Each page luxuriates in description of the nature – an insect with ``black lace wings and a green brocade head and a noise like a DC-3 revving up'' finds its way into Page's bedroom, the world ``throbs'' with green, and a ``wild palm leggy as colts'' appears before her on a bay. Most of Page's entries are filled with this kind of reverent, indulgent description, roping the reader in and making Brazil's beauty visceral. In fact, Page's writing is often observational at the expense of the personal – the reader rarely, if ever, is allowed into her inner life, though this doesn't mean it isn't there. Indeed, Page, who passed away in 2010, apparently excised many of her more reflective passages while preparing to publish her journals, choosing to edit out some of her darker thoughts about Brazil and about her inability to write poetry.
`There are certain passages that make the reader chafe, including ones in which Page complains about lazy servants, and uses outdated, racially charged language. She also makes observations about Brazil's prejudiced, divided society, which, while uncomfortable, serve to capture Brazil's complexity. Nonetheless, despite being very much a product of her time, Page adjusts to the strange new environment with poise, and it is clear that something about Brazil makes Page feel more alive. ``Something mad is happening to me,'' she writes. ``I seem to be falling in love with the world. And something in me is afraid. It is hard to know joy from pain – just as it is hard to know hot water from cold, if either is hot or cold enough.'' Anyone who has gone somewhere new and has been touched profoundly by the place will be able to relate to Page.
`Brazilian Journal should appeal to a wide array of readers. Poets, naturalists, language enthusiasts, and fans of Page's work alike will enjoy, and perhaps be awakened by it.'(Lia Skalkos ForeWord Reviews) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
