Eight years in to his presidency and the r****ts still make jokes and statements regarding him not being smart. They just cannot stand the thought of a black man who is far more intelligent than they.

In South Portland is the iconic Portland Head Lighthouse (a "head" is a rocky outcropping - it is not a headlight 
) which is probably the most photographed lighthouse in the world. That doesn't mean you won't want it in YOUR collection! The Old Port section of Portland is fun - but you can also catch the Casco Bay Ferry and head out to walk around Peak's Island. There are a few good restaurants near the ferry landing on Peak's Island to get a really decent bowl of "chowdah" for lunch. Have a pint of Allagash Belgian White beer for me! From Portland the one-hour drive to the White Mountains of New Hampshire is very scenic, and doing the loop around the White Mountains (the Kancamagus Highway) provides dozens of photo opportunities of the mountains, waterfalls, covered bridges, etc. And if the weather is clear, take the cog railroad to the top of Mt Washington for a real treat!
Heading north you can go up the coast along Rt 1 - the "midcoast" area. Lots of traditional Maine towns, starting in Boothbay. The Pemaquid peninsula has another iconic lighthouse - very beautiful spot. Camden is a great little town to walk around in. And then you get to Bah Hahbah. I always look online to find the ship schedule before going to Bah Hahbah any more. When a cruise ship docks the town quickly fills up to the brim. But Acadia (not "Arcadia") is a national park as stunning as any! From the top of Cadillac Mountain to the Otter Cliffs. Don't ignore some of the little fishing villages around Mount Dessert Island also - like Seal Harbor. If you REALLY want to see Maine, head "downeast". Downeast, by the way, is a term snatched up by a lot of Mainers, but the true "downeast" Maine is East of Ellsworth and Bah Hahbah. Little fishing villages like Jonesport (with a great day hike on adjacent Great Wass Island - I have a post on that) and all the way to the end of the earth is Lubec with the great West Quoddy Head Lighthouse. (The folks in Lubec argue that "it ain't the end of the eahth - but you can see it from heyah!"). IF you bring your passport you can cross the bridge from Lubec on to Campobello Island (New Brunswick, Canada). At the far end is another famous lighthouse, the EAST Quoddy Head Lighthouse. A spectacular old wooden lighthouse and rescue station.

The real secret is that librarians want to rule the world, and don't really like books or readers.
Thanks for alerting us.

I have used Recuva on both corrupt cards and a card from which my daughter accidentally deleted her photos. In the later case we recovered about 90% of her images. Physically these cards can be tough, but electronically - not so much! I have found something that will almost always corrupt memory cards... They don't seem to handle file changes as robustly as do USB drives. If I put a memory card into a card reader and review the images with MS Photo Viewer, it will not automatically display vertical photos in a vertical format. I can rotate them - but then when I am done it asks if I want to save that image after I have rotated it. If I say "Yes", the card get corrupted. So - I have learned to always transfer the images to a temporary or archive folder before even reviewing the images.

The right believes, like Goebbels famously said, that if you tell a lie often enough people will believe it. Before repeating urban legends and bogus drivle, try actually looking things up... For example, Snopes says ( http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/felon.asp ) that although Bill did a lot of maneuvering to get out of going to Vietnam (just like George Bush and a lot of other now-famous politicians of that era) he did nothing illegal.

ABOUT PORN: I DO wish something would be done about internet porn. You literally cannot Google anything without getting porn among your results. I Googled a destination I was heading to - it turned out it was also the name of a porn star! It wasn't street scenes that I was looking at! I Really liked the proposal to force all porn to have specific URLs like .XXX. Browsers could be set to exclude all sites with porn - unless you were specifically looking for it. Parents could put parental controls which would actually exclude porn but not exclude information on breast cancer, for example.
