Thank you for the book, missionary work and outlook on family history. My fiancés father, George Najeeb Baroody, was first cousins with Naseeb (NB) Baroody. David, my fiancé, and I are both sorry for your lost of NB. Thank you again, Margaret!

Re: “CCPL revisits 9/11 with One Book selection”

Well over a year after Bin Laden’s death and over 10 years since 9/11, American citizens are still blindly allowing their civil liberties to be taken away one piece of legislation at a time. How much freedom are we willing to sacrifice to feel safe? What difference did it make killing Bin Laden and Hussein if nothing has changed? You can read much more about living in this Orwellian society of fear and see my visual response to these measures on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/09…

Re: “NotSo Hostel manager releases how-to book”

I'm reading Vikki's book now. It's a good read, even for someone who will never own or manage a hostel (and has never even stayed in one). Vikki's special personality pervades the Not So Hostel and her book about it. Get a copy!

Re: “NotSo Hostel manager releases how-to book”

It does not surprise me at all that Vikki Matsis wrote a revealing book about a secretive industry. That's Vikki - truthful, upfront, a what-you-see-is-what-you-get person. Vikki is a no guile girl, and you've got to love her for it.

So cool! My stay at the NotSo Hostel added to my decision to move to Charleston two years ago. Keep up the good work, Vikki!

Re: “South Carolina's journalist of the year chronicles the silly, sad tale of Alvin Greene”

...... I remain sickened that the election is mis-reported full of spin and censored facts.... African American Mike Ruckes was a candidate for US Senate days after the 2008 election campaigning in all 46 counties. Judge Rawl, Mike and I were candidates taking Wellstone Training at USC in February 2010 during that rare beautiful snowfall. Judge Rawl left for Costa Rica on a fishing trip instead of campaigning hard building up the shattered shards of Democratic Party remnants. ........................... Any surprise that an experienced legislator, jurist and county councilor could be "beaten" by statewide computer voting is farsical. ..................Leaving out such facts and pretending the June primary is an "upset" of a single white Democrat by Greene via touch screen cybe "voting" is just a tragic crime against real democracy. .................................The racist Democratic Party of South Carolina ran off Mike Ruckes under Carol Fowler. And her replacement Harpo is worse. .....................................................If this book excludes or buries such relevant facts as I am eyewitness to, there is nothing to celebrate here with the hapless military veteran Greene. ........................................... How can people understate the racist trumped up charges of "pornography" by Greene pointing to a screen shot of sunbathing women and asking a nearby student for a date? .................................................Strom Thurmond rapes a 15 year old black girl in his own home at age 23 and her pregnancy is a lifelong story to hide from the world but well known across the state..... ........................... The rapist's child's name is added to the statue in Columbia for all to see after the historic bigot is dead ? ...................................................The Alvin Greene story is just another chapter in this perverted state obsessed with electing closet gays, keeping women barefoot and pregnant out of elective office and elevating the worst of all females to high office blathering on endlessly Reagunisms and tea bagger drivel.... ...............Nimrata Haley is a logical progression of 2010 after she used 2 boy toys at her sexual whim. South Carolina is fucked. ............................... Greene is only another lamb who had the balls to play along with his white masters..... 843-926-1750 www.hireLarryFireBobby.com @VoteLarryDis114 @GREENS926_1750 Larry_Carter_Center@yahoo.com

Re: “South Carolina's journalist of the year chronicles the silly, sad tale of Alvin Greene”

Good story, I look forward to checking this out. I'm glad I'm not the only one who still thinks from time to time what the heck Alvin was thinking. He just gave people so much material to work with... That awkward video from his post election after party, in which no one was there. This would actually be a pretty hilarious movie, too. The Accidental Candidate blog is also funny.

You'd think the 'journalist of the year' would have better stories to cover...

Re: “Jason Ryan spins the tale of the Lowcountry's gentlemen dope smugglers in Jackpot”

I guess I have grown into a real conservative. Don't glorify crime and drugs! I remember all of the teen girl mules that used to hang out at 82 Queen, and probably their life today is not so great. Do you know why the drug king-pins used teen age girls for their mules?

Re: “Jason Ryan spins the tale of the Lowcountry's gentlemen dope smugglers in Jackpot”

I was friends with several of the Columbia guys including a barber, bartender and high school friend for several years in the 70's. I even went to high school with Henry McMaster. l never had any idea of what they were up to. What a great book putting you right in the action from start to finish.

WOW. I didn't know Carrie Ryan had another book out. I knew of 'The Forest of Hands and Teeth', but I didn't realize there was one about feet!

Re: “Chris Dixon’s literary debut paints a portrait of big wave surf spot”

It's a super read. I'm in the middle of it and loving it and I'm not familiar one bit with surfer jargon. I've even watched his 1 1/2 hour google talk video.

Re: “Carolyn Evans shares a sexy method for saving marriages”

mkh1275...Sure, my bead also may be a request for sex too. But it sure would be nice to get some things done around here that have been ignored for too long that I can't do myself. Sure would make me happy and he just may get that sex bead from me right away!

Re: “Carolyn Evans shares a sexy method for saving marriages”

I love this idea and I'm happy I came across her book =)
