Key Info |
The Bushman's Hideout is an old colonial-style luxury villa set in the natural African bush gardens of Zanzibar Villas' private estate. The villa is built on solid ancient coral reef rock and is surrounded by a natural African paradise garden, full of wildflowers, game such as Dik-Dik antelopes and bush pigs, and a variety of colorful bird and butterfly species. Many animals come to drink at the watering hole or graze on the grass in front of the main veranda in the early mornings and evenings.
Originally built in 1996 for an Englishman who worked for 20 years in the African bush, the decor is a mix of hunting lodge, traditional Zanzibari and rustic African styles, which all contribute to its unique atmosphere.
The villa layout is all on a single level with solid wooden floors elevated above the bush and gardens, with a large front veranda and walkways leading around the building to more private terraces set outside each bedroom. The whole building, including the terraces and verandas, is covered by a massive traditional makuti (coconut leaf) roof.
The lounge, dining areas and open kitchen
This spacious area is fully furnished with a large dining table offering seating for six people, a bureau and chair, two large sofas/beds and a coffee table. There is satellite TV and a DVD player and Wi-Fi (wireless internet ) available all over the building and the estate. There are also games and books in the cupboards.
The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances, cutlery and tableware for six people. In the storeroom there is ample cupboard space and a large fridge freezer with ice cube maker.
The veranda also features a second dining table for six people, large sofa and two big hammocks for total relaxation. In the garden you'll find a small private bar area and BBQ
Bedrooms and bathrooms
Both bedrooms can be accessed directly via the verandas outside and from the living room. They are stylishly decorated with unique antique and African art pieces, bedroom chairs, full-length wardrobes, and bedside tables and night reading lamps next to the beds. A traditional king-sized Zanzibari four-poster bed with quality mattress and mosquito net is the centerpiece of each room. Additionally there is a traditional mangrove pole ceiling with ceiling fan and split level air-conditioning. Each room has a large Zanzibari chest with padlock for your use as a safe.
Towels and linen are included and are changed at your will by the housekeeper who can come every day if you so wish.
The bedrooms boast spacious en-suite bathrooms with romantic sunken baths carved out of local terrazzo that can fit two people, hot and cold showers with large rain head and good water pressure, washbasins, mirrors, hairdryers, WCs and opening windows.
Shared swimming pools and relaxation area
at the communal area in the center of estate, you are welcome to use the 14m x 12m swimming pool with built-in children's pool of 3m x 7m and surrounding recreation area. You'll find fully equipped barbeques, and cooking equipment and plates, shower, WC and changing room. The area also features a large dining table for 14 people, an honesty bar with fridge, lots of games and inflatable's, darts and table tennis. The pool is surrounded by white sands on which there are tables and chairs, hammocks and plenty of sun loungers, as well as plenty of shaded areas with large makuti umbrellas. This is a fantastic place to relax and socialise. We now also offer the services of a resident cook and a new massage area with Spa next to the pool area

The Zanzibar Archipelago region
Bwejuu beach
Bwejuu beach is a broad and continuous beach sheltered by a broad coral lagoon and backed by palm trees, private houses and small hotels; this is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches on Zanzibar. Its wide pure white powder sands stretch for kilometers from Dongwe village in the north to Jambiani in the south. Bwejuu offers the quietest spot with few tourists on the beach; you will feel like Robinson Crusoe. The beach at low tide offers wonderful views of seaweed ladies about their daily business of harvesting their seaweed crops and small fishermen on their traditional canoes. Sunrise is a spiritual event every morning! What a way to wake up. Later on children gather after school to search the beach for washed up shells. In the last two years, this has become one of the Mecca's for kite surfing and snorkeling. But it will always retain an enchanted desert island feeling – lost in time, you can only give in and relax…
Coral reef snorkelling by local canoe
This trip is organized by our local fishermen who are able to take you out from our beach in their wooden dug out canoes. The reef is only a couple of hundred meters away and the snorkelling is just a couple of meters deep. This is a wonderful few hours spent admiring the many coloured corals and fish. A very nice trip for children…
Price fluctuates But is +- USD.15.p.p.
Jozani Forest Sanctuary
Is a zoological collection of the reptiles and other small mammals such as Hyrax and antelope native to Zanzibar set in a small natural forest.

There are now about twenty five species of snake and lizard kept in enclosures putting the animals in their natural habitat. The snake collection includes pythons, a Mozambique spitting cobra, Boomslangs (tree snakes), and a green mamba as well as smaller species. Chameleons, hyrax, small antelopes and monitor lizards are on view as well.

"a dream"
Everything was ok. it was our second vist, and we will surely go again; It is Africa, so you have to consider this . The manager was very helpfull, and I"m pretty sure no one could have a warmer welcome than the one we receved from Mr Ali ! The house is spacious and well equiped. You can find everything you need at the village nearby.

"Massive place with great pool"
Stayed here with friends last year. Mr Ali helped us with any questions and organised taxis etc. Most evening we walked along the beach in to the town and ate at the restaurants which are popular with kite surfers. The beach is stunning. The Bushman's hide is very large. Both bedrooms are very nicely decorated. The shower room was clean and well maintained. You can see a lot of wildlife from the veranda at the front and we spent a lot of time on the veranda talking. There is a fully functioning kitchen which we used on one night. Would recommend a trip to the rock restaurant with a quick trip to see the sunset on the other side of the peninsula. Also trip to stonetown and prisoner island and spice planation tour. Great accommodation, great place.

Once you click on the progress bar to give it focus, if you slowly swipe your finger across the top of the Magic Mouse you can advance the play pointer. While I am listening to my local radio station's podcast, I can slide the play pointer past the traffic report and to the weather. You can control the speed and how much the pointer moves based on the speed and directions based on the movement of your finger on top of the Magic Mouse.
It's not an Earth-shattering hint, but it's cool!

Relax and enjoy yourselves
The villa was lovely. It was a great value for the money, and was one of the nicer places we stayed in Costa Rica. We loved having the private pool. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed walking to the "neighborhood" waterfall. There was a small snafu with check-in, but it wasn't a big deal and both the owner/host and the on-site property manager were extremely apologetic. Chris was very friendly and always very quick to respond in all of our communications.
What I didn't realize from the description on AirBnB was that it's essentially a duplex...even though the two villas don't share a wall, they're really close together. It was still very private as there is a concrete wall separating the two patio areas. It wasn't a problem for us, but just thought other potential guests might like to know. Our neighbors were a quiet family. The internet was pretty slow, even compared to other places in Costa Rica...maybe this is because it was the busy season. Again, not a problem for us since we weren't working, but it would've been very hard to do anything more than send a simple email.
Overall we had a wonderful experience...the valley and views are beautiful and we enjoyed the sunsets and wildlife. I would recommend this villa to a friend for sure.
The reservation was canceled 53 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The Bhagavad Gita has been called India's greatest contribution to the world. In this audio version of his classic book The Bhagavad Gita: A Walkthrough for Westerners, Jack Hawley makes its wisdom clear to Western seekers.
©2001 Jack Hawley (P)2011 Jack Hawley
"The Bhagavad Gita: A Walkthrough for Westerners"
I really loved this. The author reads his own work here, and he does a very good job. He has a pleasant voice that seems suited to the material. It is not a literal translation word-for-word, more like a distillation in modern English and with the intent to explain the Bhagavad Gita to westerners in particular. He explains the concepts and some of the vocabulary, which I found helpful. There is a sort of soundtrack to the reading, which I did not find intrusive and which I actually thought added something to it - I liked it - but I think some people may find it distracting, so listen to a sample before you buy it. Overall the sound quality was pretty good; I heard papers rattle occasionally, but I became so interested in the material itself that I stopped noticing it if it continued throughout the book. I would recommend this work to anyone who is interested in learning about the Bhagavad Gita or in world religions and beliefs. As soon as I finsihed it, I started it again, because there is a lot to it, and I was fascinated. I wish I'd found this when it was first produced.
"A Walkingthrough, not enough Thinkingthrough..."
It's good, but not great. The "translation" takes too many liberties... colloquializes too much.
Sri Krishna's self-revelation to Arjuna.
I liked that the speaker was clear. However, I did not like the speaker's repetitive overemphasis.It made the delivery seem cloying. A professional reader should have been used.At various points the reader made Sri Krishna sound almost condescending. That is not at all a part of Sri Krishna's attitude.
The Gita is very inspiring, elevating. It prompts the reader to self-examination and improvement.
All in all the "translation" and delivery mar the grandeur, intellectual depth and expansive spirit of the original work.Though I think the author/reader made a noble attempt, with good intention.
"Jack Hawley's Bhagavad Gita"
It was my second audiobook, and it was fantastic.
When the author talks at the end of the book of his personal experience and how the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita helped him and his wife.
A book I will surely listen to again.
"Good choice"
He made the text very understandable. I enjoyed the reading very much. I would purchase other narrations by this man.
"A great interpretation of a legendary story"
For something as complex and historied as the Mahabarata, it is fantastic to hear a clear and educational version of the Bhagavad Gita. The assistance in understanding terminology is very helpful throughout. The personal anecdotes add a significant value to the overall experience as well.
"Great audio book"
Exactly what I was looking for, to begin my journey on Geeta's teachings. An easy to understand book
"The bible to a worried soul"
This book is beauty. If you are at a time in your life where you feel overwhelmed or worried, please, get this book.
It will not merely subside your anxiety, it will act as a constant go to for you to all but alleviate it.
The story is beautiful
The characters are beautiful
And this adaptation is beautiful
I am ever grateful to it's author for taking the time to write this western adaptation.
"Great book! I did not liked the speed."
If speed allows the words to sink in my soul.
Krishna' s advice just infinitely deep
Fantastic version, he knows the subject very well. I would have preferred a slower, much slower read speed because the subject is so deep.
Yes also!
I like this because Jack has clearly done the hard work of assimilating many different sources (as he says in the preface), and his rendering shows a sweet understanding of the content and intent, which he expresses in a devotional reading. I have seven other English versions of the Gita. This one unites the others nicely into a text that offers much food for contemplation and uplifting thought.
Highly recommend.
"The Razor's Edge"
While difficult to date, the Bhagavad Gita is generally accepted to have been written well before both the Christian Bible as well as the Buddha. Some place it as far back as 4000 years or more. Academically, it is not generally dated that far back, though. Its relevance to the present day is that it supposedly contains universal truths.
People can believe what they want to believe and it makes little difference to me. This review being written in a supposedly Christian nation, however, my personal opinion is that all Christians should be required to read the Bhagavad Gita at least once in their life. Why? The carefully crafted version of history that was -- and still is -- spoon fed to Christians is that anyone in ancient times that wasn't a Christian was sacrificing babies on alters. That Christians think they have a monopoly on The Truth is somewhat of an understatement.
That said, "The Bhagavad Gita: A Walkthrough for Westerners," by Jack Hawley, would make a fine choice for a first time reader. The audiobook, read by the author is superb, as well. I normally cringe a little bit when I see an author read their own book, but in this case, Hawley did a great job. I can't imagine the book being read by anyone else.
The amazing thing about this translation is that it speaks to you as if it was written last week, not thousands of years ago. And just what wisdom can be found in these ancient texts that is relevant to today?
Note the following words on diet and eating:
[K]now that there are subtle elements in food that significantly influence the mind ... Tamasic people eat old, overcooked, stale, tasteless, impure, and dead food with no nutritional value.
As of this review, America is second only to Mexico as the most overweight nation in the world. We are looking at the fruits of eating old, overcooked, stale, tasteless, impure, and dead food. Our hospitals overrunneth. By just moving away from America, you could cut your risk of cancer by up to 200%.
A few years ago, U.S. News and World Report used an independent panel of 22 experts to rank the best diets. Many were surprised that the Raw Food Diet won second best weight-loss diet (a raw food diet is a nutrition plan that is based on uncooked, fresh and live...mostly plant-based foods).
Even more surprising is that thousands of years ago, the hazards of eating dead, overcooked foods was not only known, but written about. And here I was thousands of years later being surprised something that old is still relevant. It's almost as if I stumbled upon a universal truth or something.
Anyway, whenever I think about Bhagavad Gita, I'm always reminding of the movie The Razor's Edge, with a very cold Bill Murray sitting in a hut somewhere on the Himalaya mountains, while on his vision quest. At some point, he became so cold that he ripped the pages from the old copy of the Upanishads he was reading and used them to build a small fire. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always took that to mean that he figured out: there is only so much you are going to get from a book.
I think at some point, the spiritual was supposed to be experienced, not simply read. The Bhagavad Gita should be read, but don't let it be the end of your journey...
"Not great"
Way too casual and chatty. Too dumbed down, rambling and almost patronising. Seemed to be made up as he went along in parts. I'm sure there are more succinct and engaging audible commentaries on the Gita out there. I gave up after less than 20 minutes.
"SBG (Super Bhagavad Gita)"
I arrived to this version of the Bhagavad Gita after listening to many other audiobooks of the book. Without doubt this version provides the deepest understanding of the Bhagavad Gita. Good sound quality of the recording done by the author, who obviously is passionate about the book.
Highly recommended.
"A great listen to a genuine voice."
Absolutely. The Bhagavad Gita is an excellent story and contains some profound wisdom. It is striking how some of it is very similar to biblical proverbs and stories about Jesus too. I love that Mr Hawley has narrated this himself too. It is a testament to his passion for the subject matter and this comes across in the reading. The quality of the audio is not 100% but it is engaging and I found no issues with clarity or diction. The touch of reverb was a nice change too.
I would much rather this than yet another dry, compressed nauseating voice actor.
The way the dialogue between Arjuna and Krisna plays out echoed how much of my own thoughts and questions would evolve if I were playing the role of Arjuna.
To kill or not to kill - is that the question?

8th Annual Pavement Maintenance Show Wows Contractors - National Pavement Expo West 2008
There's no question the current economic situation had an impact on the 8th Annual National Pavement Expo West event, held Nov. 20-22 in Las Vegas, but that didn't dent the enthusiasm of the contractors who attended.
NPE West Show Manager Loretta Miles said trade shows in just about every industry are feeling the economic heat, and NPE West was no different.
"This is a rough economy to ask people to drive or fly to spend money, even if it is to help them improve their business," Miles said. "But despite all that, word of mouth from the conference program and even the exhibit floor was very positive, and we're looking forward to NPE 2009 in Charlotte and being back in Las Vegas again in December 2009."
"Our seminar attendance was down but that didn't affect the overall quality of our program," says Allan Heydorn, Conference Coordinator for NPE West. "According to seminar evaluations 95% of the contractors said the seminars fulfilled their expectations, and that's a number that's been consistent over the years, and it's a level of success we're very proud of."

The kit
07. June 2011 | Intersolar Europe 2011 |Aleo solar brings theroof-integrated aleo KIT_3000 to the Intersolar Europe trade fair.
With the aleo KIT_3000, operators of a photovoltaic system can profit quite simply by the high tariff rates for building-integrated installations according to the company. In the simple, flexible modular system, the aleo modules, a high quality inverter and the assembly system are all carefully matched.
This solar energy package contains all components required for installing a three kilowatt-peak photovoltaic system that is integrated into the roof. Sixteen high-output aleo S_16 modules are at the heart of this PV unit according to the company. The SMA Sunny Boy 3000 inverter as well as lightning protection are also part of the solar package. SOLRIF, a stable mounting system that enables easy and rapid integration of the unit into the roof is also offered. This true in-roof system allows its operators to profit from the higher feed-in tariff.
A new ten-year product guarantee for aleo modules has enabled the company to create a safe package with a long useful life as the company states. All components have been tried and tested in practical applications for many years. The Avis Technique of the CSTB for the aleo Kit_3000 is in preparation.

Some viewers use their second screens to look things up on the Internet Movie Database site, though others are still reluctant to employ their mobile devices while the TV is on, he told Pocket-lint.

Moran, Leslie J. (2009) Transcripts and truth: writing the trials of Oscar Wilde. In: Bristow, J. (ed.) Oscar Wilde and Modern Culture: The Making of a Legend. Athens, Ohio, USA: Ohio University Press, pp. 234-259. ISBN 9780821418376.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Oscar Wilde and Modern Culture: The Making of a Legend explores the meteoric rise, sudden fall, and legendary resurgence of an immensely influential writer's reputation from his hectic 1881 American lecture tour to recent Hollywood adaptations of his dramas. Always renowned—if not notorious—for his fashionable persona, Wilde courted celebrity at an early age. Later, he came to prominence as one of the most talented essayists and fiction writers of his time. In the years leading up to his two-year imprisonment, Wilde stood among the foremost dramatists in London. But after he was sent down for committing acts of "gross indecency" it seemed likely that social embarrassment would inflict irreparable damage to his legacy. As this volume shows, Wilde died in comparative obscurity. Little could he have realized that in five years his name would come back into popular circulation thanks to the success of Richard Strauss's opera Salome and Robert Ross's edition of De Profundi. With each succeeding decade, the twentieth century continued to honor Wilde's name by keeping his plays in repertory, producing dramas about his life, adapting his works for film, and devising countless biographical and critical studies of his writings. This volume reveals why, more than a hundred years after his demise, Wilde's value in the academic world, the auction house, and the entertainment industry stands higher than that of any modern writer.

Chico Whitaker
Francisco "Chico" Whitaker Ferreira (born 1931), is a Brazilian architect, politician and social activist. A devout Catholic, Whitaker inspires his work in the liberation theology, while maintaining close ties with the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace, a body linked to the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil. Whitaker served as an alderman for the Workers' Party in the Municipal Chamber of São Paulo from 1989 to 1993, when he acted as the majority leader for mayor Luiza Erundina. He left the party in 2006, and currently serves on the Advisory Board of the non-profit organization Wikileaks.[1] He is also a member of the interim consultative committee of the International Organization for a Participatory Society.[2]
From 1953 to 1954, Whitaker was the chairman of the Catholic University Youth of Brazil, formed by Catholic University students from all over the country. He then served on the strategy group of São Paulo governor Carvalho Pinto, which spanned from 1959 to 1963. He was also head of land reform planning during the João Goulart administration. Following the coup d'état that overthrew Goulart, he joined the opposition movement against the military dictatorship. From 1965 to 1966, he was an advisor of the National Conferences of Bishops of Brazil (Conferência Nacional dos Bispos do Brasil, CNBB) at the First Joint Pastoral Plan. In 1966, fleeing political persecution in the country, he went into live in exile with his wife and four children.
Until his return to Brazil in 1981, Whitaker lived and worked in France and Chile as a researcher and advisor for the Catholic Committee Against Hunger, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, among other organizations. From 1982 to 1988, he served as an advisor for the Archdiocese of São Paulo and the CNBB. In 1988, he was elected to serve in the Municipal Chamber of São Paulo for the Workers' Party. There, he acted as the majority leader for then mayor Luiza Erundina.
In 2001, Whitaker helped organizing the World Social Forum. In 2006, he received the Right Livelihood Award, an annual prize given since 1980 to support people who not only dedicate themselves to social justice and the environment, but who live according to those principles. The prize – 220,000 euros (around 285,000 U.S. dollars) – is shared among three other winners, and was awarded in December of that same year. During the local elections of 2008, he helped organizing the Ficha Limpa project, which aims to prevent the candidacy to public offices by citizens responding to legal actions.
In addition to being part of the Advisory Board of Wikileaks, Whitaker is also a founding member of the nongovernmental organization Transparência Brasil, which is affiliated to the Transparency International and aims to fight against corruption in Brazil. He also is a member of the World Future Council. The World Future Council brings the interests of future generations to the centre of policy making.

Review quote
"Exciting... Mr. Tolkien's invention is unflagging" -- W.H. Auden
Back cover copy
In celebration of The Hobbit's fiftieth anniversary, the authoritative edition of its stirring sequel, The Lord of the Rings, is elegantly presented in handsome, uniform editions. The First Part of The Lord of the Rings finds Bilbo Baggins (hero of The Hobbit) preparing to celebrate his 'eleventy-first' birthday. Sixty unremarkable years have passed since his triumphant return from the orcmines, where he outwitted the horrible Gollum and carried off his magical ring----a feat that cannot go forever unavenged. The ring may hold more power than anyone suspects; indeed, dark forces are already conspiring to snatch it back.

Subject: | archwire removal for cleanings |
Wondering how others handle the "archwire removal for cleaning" issue. My personal bias is that in most cases the hygienists can scale around the brackets, bands and wires just fine. It is a little more work but not enough to justify all the hassle of removing the wires. The hassle I am referring to is all the extra shuttling around for the patients/parents and logistical problems between offices. I realize that there are exceptions but it seems to be becoming more of the rule. Interested in your thoughts.

Cellular shades can block sunlight from damaging a book collection
Apr 5 2011
A home reading nook should have window treatments that protect books from sun damage.
If dedicating a whole room to a library is out of the question, then arranging a comfortable book nook may be the answer. One way to create a division within in a room is to place a piece of furniture such as a free-standing bookcase or a low dresser perpendicular to a wall to separate the space.
Storing books will depend on how much room is available, but the key to making the best use of the space is to organize them well. Books can be arranged alphabetically, by subject or by color.
Separating hardcovers from paperbacks is generally more attractive, unless the soft-covered books are the same size as the hardcovers. Lining up two rows of paperbacks, with taller ones in the back row, doubles the storage on one shelf. Children's books should be on lower shelves so a child can reach them easily.
To protect books from sunlight damage, cellular shades can block strong sunlight while offering the added benefit of insulation from window drafts. These energy-saving window treatments come as both single cell shades or double cell shades for more insulation.

While Harold Evans and Gloria Steinem rail at Ralph Nader for supposedly denying Al Gore his rightful inheritance, New Democrat apologists like Andrew Sullivan ascribe the Vice Presidents failure to his sudden turn to the left. "Gores candidacy," Sullivan wrote just before the election, "is simply too liberal for the country. After a career of extreme moderation, Gore chose the most important campaign of his life to run as Ted Kennedy And Gores newfound leftism is almost perfectly designed to scare the independent voters he so badly needs." No doubt Democratic Leadership Council types will spend the next four years parroting this mantra and urging the party to saddle itself with a Clinton clone. Yet Sullivans analysis does not bear serious scrutiny.
Whatever ones view of Gore I cannot stand him he did as well in this election as any Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976, and perhaps even since LBJ in 1964. Gores real problem stemmed from the Reform Party. Or, rather, from Pat Buchanans failure to capture any of Perots supporters. Perot won 8 percent of the vote four years ago. That vote broke by more than 2 to 1 in favor of Bush. Buchanan managed to win only 1 percent of Perots voters.
Gore won 49 percent of the popular vote same as Clinton in 96 while also fighting Nader off on the Left. He won more votes than Bush, who faced no serious challenge to his right.
Moreover, the long-term outlook for the Democrats is far brighter than it is for Republicans. The Democrats have proven themselves extremely adept at holding onto their voting base. Gore made serious inroads into traditional Republican constituencies, while Bush failed to make any headway with the Democratic voting blocs. Take the most secure Republican voters imaginable: the very rich. Those earning over $100,000 preferred Bush to Gore by 54 percent to 43 percent a handy, but not an especially impressive, margin. In 1996 those earning over $100,000 went for Dole by 54 percent to 38 percent. In other words, the Republican vote remained the same, while the Democrats had made up some ground.
There are no comparable Republican breakthroughs among traditional Democratic voters. Despite all the inane and cheery talk of "diversity" and "inclusiveness" at the Republican Convention, this year the Republicans made their worst showing ever among blacks. Blacks went for Gore by 90 percent to 9 percent. This was worse than 1992 when Clinton beat Bush the Elder by 82 to 11 percent, and 1996 when he beat Dole by 84 to 12. Nixon in 1972 had managed to win 18 percent of the black vote. There was grim news as well on the Jewish front. Gore beat Bush 79 to 19 percent. Clinton had beaten Dole 78 to 16 in 1996. So W made some progress. But its a far cry from 1988, when his father managed to win 35 percent of the Jewish vote.
This year the Republicans made a determined effort to make inroads among Hispanics. They took out ads on Spanish-speaking television. Young George P. Bush, Ws nephew, spoke in Spanish at the convention and talked of "fight[ing] for our race." The upshot is that Gore still trounced Bush 62 to 35 percent among Hispanics. Gore even beat Bush among Hispanics in Texas 54 to 43 percent. To be sure, Bush did do better than Dole, who only managed a miserable 21 percent in 1996. Yet he did not do better than Nixon, who won 35 percent of the Hispanic vote in 1972. Even Reagan secured 37 percent in 1984.
This is a real problem for the Republicans. According to the website Hispanic Trends, foreign-born Hispanics today comprise 45 percent of Hispanic voters. "There is now little doubt that foreign-born Hispanics will become a clear majority of this electorate by the 2004 presidential election Gore receives his strongest level of support from new immigrants foreign-born Hispanic voters who became citizens after 1994." The Census Bureau estimates that Hispanics will comprise 17 percent of the population by 2020. Blacks are estimated to be about 13 percent of the population. Therefore, almost a third of the electorate will be unshakably Democratic in every election.
So to whom should the Republicans appeal? Well, there are men. Bush beat Gore 53 to 42 percent among men. Yet Gore held his own. Clinton only won 43 percent of the male vote in 96. He did better than Carter in 80, who won only 36 percent; better than Dukakis in 88, who won 41 percent; better even than Clinton in 92, who also won 41 percent. Bushs 53 percent sounds impressive compared to Doles feeble 44 percent. Yet it is far worse than the 57 percent won by his father in 88, or the 62 percent won by Reagan in 84. Moreover, the Republican advantage among men is offset by their disadvantage among women. Among women, Gore beat Bush 54 to 43 percent. Gores 54 percent was the same as Clintons in 96. But it was better than Clintons 46 percent in 92; or Dukakiss 49 percent; or Carters 50 percent in 76. Bushs 43 percent is certainly better than Doles 38 percent, but it is worse than his fathers 50 percent in 88, and even Gerald Fords 48 percent in 76.
More troubling for the Republicans is their inability to win voters who should be their natural constituency. Fourteen percent of the population identify themselves as "white religious right." Eighteen percent of them voted for Gore. Thirteen percent of Americans believe abortion should always be illegal. Twenty-two percent of them voted for Gore. Twenty-seven percent believe that abortion should be "mostly illegal. Twenty-nine percent of them voted for Gore. Gore supports partial-birth abortions. Yet he beat Bush 50 to 47 percent among Catholics. Thirteen percent of American voters believe Bush is "too liberal." Yet 81 percent of them voted for Gore, 15 percent for Bush and only 1 percent for Buchanan. By contrast, of the 9 percent who believe Gore is "too conservative," 42 percent voted for Bush, 45 percent for Gore and 10 percent for Nader.
Whether Bush becomes president or not, the Republicans will have to come up with an agenda to inspire their natural voters, otherwise they are heading for oblivion.

BISHOPS MAKE PROGRESS; MUCH WORK REMAINSJuly 23, 2002

by Dr. Richard C. Lukas Nowhere is the politicization of history and its practitioners more evident than in the recent writings of a number of historians of the Holocaust era.

Ibra happy at Inter
Zlatan Ibrahimovic insists he wants to forget the speculation and focus on Inter Milan after returning to training with the club.
The Sweden international has been linked with moves to several top European sides this summer including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
But, although he earlier hinted that he wanted to test himself outside Italy, he says he is now happy at the San Siro and is not interested in rumours.
Asked if he had been reading the newspapers in recent weeks, he told Inter channel: "Yes, but I haven't found anything interesting.
"What happens happens.
"I am happy to be here - as happy as the first day I arrived."
No surpriseInter boss Jose Mourinho, meanwhile, claims he fully
expected Ibrahimovic to stay.
"It doesn't surprise me to see Ibrahimovic here," he said.
"I said last season and during the summer that I never thought he would leave."

A search has been launched for a missing Mercer Island man after his unoccupied boat was found washed up on the shore in Kirkland on Friday night, and family members fear he may be dead.
The King County Sheriff's Office began investigating the mystery at about 7 p.m. Friday when a resident in the 300 block of Lake Avenue West in Kirkland called police about a boat that had drifted into the shoreline, said Sgt. Cindi West of the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies inspected the boat, the "Tern," and found a portable generator onboard running and an electrical cord outside the boat dangling into the water.
Sheriff's officials then checked the boat registration and attempted to contact the registered owner, Richard Sweezey, 67, at his home in Mercer Island, but no one was home.
Officers then found paperwork in the boat that indicated the vessel is usually moored at a slip at the Queen City Yacht Club in Portage Bay. Deputies went to the marina and found Sweezey's vehicle parked in the parking lot but did not find Sweezey.
Fearing that he might have fallen into the water, the Sheriff's Office started a search of Lake Washington between the area of the slip and where the boat had run aground. Assisting with the search were the King County Sheriff's Office Guardian 1 Helicopter, the U.S. Coast Guard and Seattle Police Marine Patrol, West said.
After the search came up empty, deputies contacted a friend of Sweezey's at the Queen City Yacht Club on Saturday morning. The friend said he had talked to Sweezey at the marina Friday around 1 p.m.
The man said Sweezey had intended to take his boat into the Lake Washington area to do some repairs. The man said Sweezey had no life jackets so he gave him one to use for the day. Deputies said the lifejacket was still on the boat when they found it.
Eventually, deputies were able to contact Sweezey's wife, who had been out of town. She said she had been unable to get hold of Sweezey on Friday despite repeated attempts. She is now driving back to the area.
If Sweezey can't be found, he'll be remembered.
Janice Beckett, a family friend and neighbor, called him a "very caring" person who was always ready to help.
Sweezey's stepson released a statement saying, "My father is an extraordinarily capable person with a lifetime of experience boating on Lake Washington, a long career running his family's electrical contracting firm, and a habit of being safety conscious."
Investigators say they may use underwater sonar equipment to try and locate Sweezey in case he fell from his boat and is underwater.
Meanwhile, they are asking for anyone who may have seen the boat on Lake Washington on Friday afternoon to call the King County Sheriff's Office at (206) 296-3311.

Hungry? Billy and Maria Shea invite you to try breakfast at the newly renovated Sheas Pancake & Waffle House.
By Allison McAlister Did you know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? It give us the fuel we need to jumpstart our day and helps us perform well in our daily activities. In fact, research has shown that people who eat a healthy breakfast every day have lower cholesterol (which reduces the risk of heart disease), have more strength and endurance and are less likely to become obese. With all these benefits, why wouldn't you eat breakfast? Not to mention that breakfast can be incredibly delicious. Especially the breakfasts served up daily at Shea's Pancake & Waffle House in Essex. The Sheas were onto something when they opened the restaurant, which only serves breakfast fare, approximately 10 years ago. Unfortunately, owner Bill Shea, passed away about two years ago. His daughter took over but soon had to bow out due to her own health problems and family obligations. That's when son Billy, who'd helped in the kitchen while his sister ran things, stepped in and officially took over the family business about three months ago. Billy grew up in the restaurant business and had worked in the kitchen at his aunt and uncle's place, Jad's Caddyshack, for years. While Billy works his magic in the kitchen, his wife Maria takes care of the business side of things such as bookkeeping, payroll and more. I've waitressed, I've bussed, I've done it all, she laughs, explaining that she, too, has worked in the restaurant field since she was a teenager. With new owners comes changes, and Shea's restaurant has undergone quite the cosmetic transformation. Everything has been redone, explains Billy. We've done quite a bit of remodeling to brighten up the place for our customers. From paint and décor to ceiling fans and fresh flowers on the table, if you haven't been to Shea's in a while, it looks like a totally different restaurant. But, as always, the food is just as delicious. We've got the same great food and the same great prices, but the restaurant just looks better, Billy says. The food is certainly great. With so many options available, I didn't know what to try when my dining companion and I visited recently. There's specialty omelets, pancakes, waffles, breakfast burritos, crepes, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast pizza - it all looked so good. Billy and Maria have even added a few new items to the menu, including Candy Cakes, which are pancakes filled with bits of candy such as Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Cinnamon Roll French Toast, a popular seller and highly recommended by both Billy and Maria. How could I resist? It did sound scrumptious. And, boy, was it ever! I ordered the gooey cinnamon roll French toast topped with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Wow! Definitely well worth the indulgence. Every bite was heavenly. I opted for a side of home fries to go with it, and they were quite yummy as well. My dining companion ordered an omelet with sausage, cheese and green peppers, along with an everything bagel. She raved about her meal, too. I mooched a bite of the omelet, and it was really good. She wants to go back and take her grandkids for the Candy Cakes. I want to go back to try it all! The staff at Shea's is welcoming and friendly, the service is top notch and the food was served in no time at all. The restaurant exudes such a homey feel, it's no wonder there are customers who come in daily, or at least several days a week. The atmosphere and the regulars make Shea's feel a little like Cheers. We're Cheers without the beer, says Maria. We have eggs instead. Shea's is home of the $1.99 Rouse Special - two eggs, home fries and toast - available in-house only, excluding weekends and holidays. In fact, the most expensive item on the menu is under $15, so even in these tough economic times, most folks can still afford to treat themselves to a wonderful breakfast away from home. You know it always tastes better when someone else does the cooking. And it is the most important meal of the day, so start yours off right with a delicious cooked-to-order breakfast at Shea's. Shea's Pancake & Waffle House is located at 215 Back River Neck Rd. in Essex. Open seven days a week, excluding Christmas Day, the restaurant serves up breakfast from 6 a.m. - 2 p.m. Dine in and carryout service available. For more information, call 410-238-4877.

The potato, from the perennial Solanum tuberosum, is the world's fourth largest food crop, following rice, wheat, and maize. The Inca Indians in Peru were the first to cultivate potatoes around 8,000 BC to 5,000 B.C.
In 1536 Spanish Conquistadors conquered Peru, discovered the flavors of the potato, and carried them to Europe. Before the end of the sixteenth century, families of Basque sailors began to cultivate potatoes along the Biscay coast of northern Spain. Sir Walter Raleigh introduced potatoes to Ireland in 1589 on the 40,000 acres of land near Cork. It took nearly four decades for the potato to spread to the rest of Europe.
Eventually, agriculturalists in Europe found potatoes easier to grow and cultivate than other staple crops, such as wheat and oats. Most importantly, it became known that potatoes contained most of the vitamins needed for sustenance, and they could be provided to nearly 10 people for each acre of land cultivated.
In the 1840s a major outbreak of potato blight, a plant disease, swept through Europe, wiping out the potato crop in many countries. The Irish working class lived largely on potatoes and when the blight reached Ireland, their main staple food disappeared. This famine left many poverty-stricken families with no choice but to struggle to survive or emigrate out of Ireland. Over the course of the famine, almost one million people died from starvation or disease. Another one million people left Ireland, mostly for Canada and the United States.
Potatoes in the United States
Potatoes arrived in the Colonies in 1621 when the Governor of Bermuda, Nathaniel Butler, sent two large cedar chests containing potatoes and other vegetables to Governor Francis Wyatt of Virginia at Jamestown. The first permanent potato patches in North America were established in 1719, most likely near Londonderry (Derry), NH, by Scotch-Irish immigrants. From there, the crop spread across the country.
Idaho, the present-day largest producer of potatoes, actually did not begin growing potatoes until 1836, when missionaries moved west in an effort to teach the native tribes to grow crops instead of relying upon hunting and gathering methods. However, it wasn't until 1872 when the Russet Burbank variety was developed, that the Idaho potato industry began to flourish.
A. Parmentier helped King Louis XIV popularize the potato in France in the 18th century. Parmentier created a feast with only potato dishes, a concept he realized was possible when he was imprisoned in Germany and fed only potatoes. Benjamin Franklin, ambassador to France, was in attendance of Parmentier's feast in 1767.
French Fries were introduced to the U.S. when Thomas Jefferson served them in the White House during his Presidency of 1801-1809. Collinet, chef for French King Louis Phillipe (reign 1830-1848) unintentionally created soufflés (or puffed) potatoes by plunging already fried potatoes into extremely hot oil to reheat them when the King arrived late for dinner one night. To the chef's surprise and the king's delight, the potatoes puffed up like little balloons. In 1853 railroad magnate Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt complained that his potatoes were cut too thick and sent them back to the kitchen at a fashionable resort in Saratoga Springs, NY. To spite his haughty guest, Chef George Crum sliced some potatoes paper thin, fried them in hot oil, salted and served them. To everyone's surprise, Vanderbilt loved his "Saratoga Crunch Chips," and potato chips have been popular ever since.
Did you know…
- During the Alaskan Klondike gold rush, (1897-1898) potatoes were practically worth their weight in gold. Potatoes were valued for their vitamin C. And gold, at that time, was more plentiful than nutritious foods!
- In October 1995, the potato became the first vegetable to be grown in space. NASA and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, created the technology with the goal of feeding astronauts on long space voyages, and eventually, feeding future space colonies.
The Incas had many uses for potatoes other than dinner:
- Placed raw slices on broken bones to promote healing
- Carried them to prevent rheumatism
- Ate with other foods to prevent indigestion.
- Measured time: by correlating units of time by how long it took for potatoes to cook.
- Various folk remedies recommend using potatoes:
- Treat facial blemishes by washing you face daily with cool potato juice.
- Treat frostbite or sunburn by applying raw grated potato or potato juice to the affected area.
- Help a toothache by carrying a potato in your pocket.
- Ease a sore throat by putting a slice of baked potato in a stocking and tying it around your throat.
- Ease aches and pains by rubbing the affected area with the water potatoes have been boiled in

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Los Angeles Times Editor-in-Chief Davan Maharaj will open the 36th annual Writers Week at the University of California, Riverside on Feb. 4, 2013, in a lecture addressing the battle to save journalism.

Maharaj, who was named editor of the Los Angeles Times in December 2011, will deliver the 45th Hays Press-Enterprise Lecture, a series devoted to addressing issues in journalism and the media that was begun in 1966 by the late Howard H (Tim) Hays when he was editor of The Press-Enterprise newspaper.

Kincaid is a professor of literature at Claremont McKenna College.
Phillips wrote her first book, "Black Tickets," when she was 26. The collection of stories, published in 1979, won the prestigious Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction. Her novels include "Machine Dreams," nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award and named one of the 12 Best Books of the Year (1984) by the New York Times Book Review; "Shelter," winner of an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and named one of the Best Books of the Year (1994) by Publishers Weekly; and "MotherKind." She is a professor of English and director of the Master of Fine Arts program at Rutgers-Newark, the State University of New Jersey.
Shields is the author of 12 books, among them: "Jeff, One Lonely Guy," which was co-written by Jeff Ragsdale and Michael Logan; "Reality Hunger: A Manifesto," named one of the best books of 2010 by more than 30 publications; "The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead," a New York Times bestseller; "Black Planet: Facing Race during an NBA Season," a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; "Remote: Reflections on Life in the Shadow of Celebrity," winner of the PEN/Revson Award; and "Dead Languages: A Novel," winner of the PEN Syndicated Fiction Award.

Abstract | In recent decades outdated noise, planning and liquor laws, encroaching residential development, and the rise of more lucrative forms of entertainment for venue operators, such as poker machines, have acted singly or in combination to close many live music venues in Australia. A set of diverse and quite unique policy and planning initiatives have emerged across Australia's cities responding to these threats. This paper provides the results of a systematic research effort conducted in 2008 into the success or otherwise of these approaches in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Archival and legislative reviews and field visits were supplemented by interviews with key authorities, venue operators, live music campaigners and others in each city. The research sought to categorise and evaluate the diverse approaches being used and to attempt to understand best ways forward to maintain opportunities for live music performance. In Brisbane a place-based approach designating 'Entertainment Precincts' has been used, re-writing separate pieces of legislation (across planning, noise and liquor law). Resulting in monopolies for the few venue operators within the precincts, outside the threats remain and venues continue to be lost. Melbourne instead liberalised liquor licensing, resulting in a profusion of small bars, many of which have provided for live music performance. And Sydney, where perhaps the situation was most acute, undertook a review of NSW liquor laws in late 2008, seeking to find solutions. The paper explores these efforts, and points to ways forward for improved urban management. |
