The first debate
is being held at Denver University, located in a high-population density, narrow street area where parking and traffic is a real hassle to begin with. It looks as if they are going to shut down traffic for a mile around the venue, including I25, the major north/south artery through town - as well as some of the other main roads.
During rush hour.
Is all that necessary?
Here is a link that might be useful: link
The debate is not open to the public. Any debate tickets allocated to the University by the Commission on Presidential Debates will be distributed to University of Denver students randomly via lottery.
Don't know who else gets in besides news people and their crews. Largely a TV event.
Colleges and universities have to apply to the Commission on Presidential Debates to hold the debates.
I suspect college/university campuses are the chosen venues to get students interested in modern day politics - they're a block of voters those running for office do well to court.
Aside from Division I hockey, I suppose Centre College in Danville, KY, Hofstra in Hempstead, NY, and Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL could say the same.
My thinking is that they've got to be held somewhere besides a pitched carnival tent. What's the big deal?
Is there a website to email in questions ? I'd like to ask them both if it costs more to jail someone than put them on welfare why are the jails filled up with pot smokers in the failed war on drugs ? Or why are companies like Boeing given big government contracts paid for by taxpayers allowed to manufacture their planes in foreign countries when jobs are desperately needed here ? I expect we'll get more useless blather on tax cuts , gay marriage , abortion , etc. other than real solutions to issues which might actually help the economy a bit .
Criticism Greets List of Debate Moderators:
Fox News, which is the only independent television network that has not been selected to have one of its anchors host a debate, made an aggressive push this year. The commission sent signals that the network was in strong contention, people familiar with the process said, but that changed in the last month. The Obama campaign raised questions about the network because of its conservative leanings. The Romney campaign objected to MSNBC because of its liberal bent and threatened to boycott if one of its anchors was selected.
Advance press of Romney's poor performance:
Washington (CNN) - If it wasn't already clear that Mitt Romney and his allies are trying to lower expectations heading into next Wednesday's debate against President Obama in Denver, the campaign is now making it official.
In a memo about the debates distributed to campaign surrogates and provided to CNN on Thursday, longtime Romney adviser Beth Myers outlines a series of reasons why the president is likely to emerge as the winner of the first debate.
But will the American people get the "memo"?

Hoping that Romney performs better than advertized? If he's less than terrible, he scores points?
Interesting that they are already trying to make excuses for Romney in the debates. At the same time I suppose they think they are raising the bar for the President. Quite frankly I am worried that the expectations for the President to out preform are so high that he will fall short in some peoples eyes. He's good though, he's darn good, so we'll see.
I found this comment of Romney's last week quite telling
"I think the challenge that I'll have in the debate is that the president tends to - how shall I say it? - say things that aren't true," he told ABC News. Speaking about how to tackle his opponent, Romney said he did not know whether he would spend his time "correcting things that aren't quite accurate" or "talk about the things I want to talk about".
Besides basically calling the President a liar, I found the last line interesting. Seems to me he is setting the stage for NOT directly challenging the President in the true spirit of debate. Rather he is going talk what he WANTS to talk about, questions and the principals of debate be d@mned!
There is nothing that bugs me more in debates, and interviews for that matter, as ignoring the question and just regurgitating the official "talking points"
Romney's flip-flopping time frames are growing shorter and shorter. His biggest challenge will be to not flip-flop within 90 minutes.
All Obama has to do is to avoid saying something like he hates white people...though Limbaughdomy and Fox will report that he did anyways.
And on Fox the spinmeisters will play into the Everybody Gets a Trophy Syndrome.
I would like to watch a good debate and not 90 minutes of excruciating pain. Somehow though, with the time frames allowed for answers, I see Romney going off script... which for him is a dangerous thing to do.
Esh, I think it's a Republican specialty, not necessarily reserved for certain political characters.
And I fear Duluth is right... if excuses are already circulating, or being drawn up behind closed office doors, then the final words will be somewhere in the realm of victimhood.
If you can you break Romney of his nervous laughter it could help. If he is the only one laughing nervously it's not quite the same as Reagan did bringing folks in on a lame joke as they do in those lame celebrity roasts.
Glad handers like Clinton & Reagan always come up better than nervous nellies like Romney or kool smooth operators like Obama!
Even our First Lady, Michelle, describes her husband as very steady, very measured, whether we're talking about verbal responses, or about thinking things through to conclusion. So, I would expect him to be calm, collected, and carefully choosing the right wording that best explains what he wants to get across to listeners... minus any nervous giggling.
I would expect it to be much more difficult when a person doesn't have a good command of the issues, is not very good at public speaking, and can't... for all intents and purposes... allow his true feelings to show through. In such a case, he should be the one more carefully choosing his wording, which would fall to his handlers and speech writers, but they always seem to muck it up. Either that, or Romney simply doesn't think he needs writers for the help... though he really does.
Is Obama going to be allowed a teleprompter? A joke.
Obama is as bad as Romney when going off the lines.
They both make bad gaffs.
This debate is so very important, I hope there nothing
to disrupt either candidate.
I also hope they have chosen unbiased moderators but I
don't see how that could be possible since most news
persons are liberal slanted.
A moderator can tip a perception of one by just a voice
I am cynical on anything political. Nothing is fair.
These debates are a farce.
Too bad that Presidential/Vice Presidential debaters aren't required to follow the same rules as High School or College contestants. No interrupting, answer the questions at hand, etc. Every political debate I've ever seen would have been judged very harshly by the sponsors.
I suppose then nobody would agree to participate...
Welcome huachuma!
I find it interesting the excuses for Romney are are being made already . Facts are I believe the minds of most, absent some huge event, are already made up. The electoral vote needs huge swings to matter much. I don't think that kind of uncertainty exists in people minds. The lives are drawn.
As an aside its interesting to note that the polls today are just about where they were at this time Obama/McCain...Obama was slightly more ahead but not much.

Farce? If the debates were ever funny, I would agree. Mostly they're just tiresome and frustrating.
I agree that the debates would benefit greatly if they were governed by the rules Huachuma mentioned. Expanding on that, "news" shows would also be much improved if they would stick to the subject at hand, facts only, no opinions, reserving those for discussion programs.
Would anyone participate? I think they would.
I don't have any misgivings about Romney's performance
in the debates.
Isn't it the left that is always touting "the level
playing field". The level playing field should most certainly be in the debates.
I think Romney can hold his own BUT a moderator can put a slant on a debate if they choose.
Obama owns the MSM. Can it be considered a level playing field?
CW you're absolutely right. The moderator's can always slant it the way they want to. Romney will do better than Obama in the debates, I'm sure of it. Watching the debate will be painful because I'll have to listen to Obama talk about those fantasy jobs that he's going to create, etc., etc. Having to hear the rhetoric from him again and again is annoying. Since he can't brag about what he's accomplished these last 4 years, his only out will be to attack Romney. As long as Romney stays on subject he'll have it in the bag.
Wishful thinking.
I'll say! Boy it must be nice to live in such a fantasy world. Obama will win the debates because "he owns MSM". Not because he's smart, a good speaker, level headed and can think on his feet. Unlike Mr. Romney who can't seem to get out of own way. Can't remember what he said yesterday. Definitely really bad at thinking on his feet. Obama hasn't created any jobs. Except he has created jobs. More than was previously thought. Romney is losing in the polls because the polls are fixed for the dems.
Oh, and about the polls are fixed for dems logic that the right has been trying to push the last few days...Nate Silver has totally debunked that logic (if you could even call it logic)
Here is a link that might be useful: Polls biased? Um, no.
Watching the debate will be painful because I'll have to listen to Obama talk about those fantasy jobs that he's going to create, etc., etc
How about Romney saying he'll create 12 millions jobs in 4 years? Which is exactly the same number of jobs that economists predict would be created if he did nothing and the economy continued on the gently upward trajectory it's on now.
The economy could churn out 12 million jobs in the next four years regardless of who wins the White House in November, economists said.
It's a prediction in line with a promise made by the GOP presidential ticket.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan each pledged in their speeches during the GOP convention that they would create 12 million jobs over the next four years with a series of familiar policies that include reducing regulatory and tax burdens on small businesses and ramping up international trade.
Despite the slowly healing job market, Romney and Ryan have ignored the danger of going out at least part of the way on a political limb, with forecasts of a much faster pace of job growth on their side.
"Most forecasts for employment growth are very close to 12 million over the next four years regardless of who wins the presidency," Mark Zandi, chief economist with Moody's Analytics, told The Hill.
Here is a link that might be useful: source
Any member of a HS debate team could have won those.
And if there really really really is a God, Romney will be conceding shortly after the last poll closes. Can we place bets on Wolf Blitzer and CNN actually calling something right? There's a reason I watch coverage on MSNBC.
Watching the debates will be painful for me just like when Bush was doing them. Romney's gasping fast monotone voice comes off as pathetic and trying too hard. I hope he practiced his zingers. God knows he's been at it for a long time. How many days does it take him to "get prepared"? He must be a little dense. Maybe he can write cheat notes on his cuffs. I liked how Christie set his bar really high. This will be fun.
The hype for this debate is way over the top. You would think it was some sort of defining moment in American history. From what I have read this election has the fewest amount of undecided voters in history. Both camps will tout their guy as the winner or make excuses if he isn't.
Far as I'm concerned it's just the media hyping it to boost their own ratings.
I for one won't be watching, I'll stick with Murder She Wrote followed by reruns of Downton Abbey, so I will have to count of you folk for the postmortem.
As noted before - the debate is closed to the public.
Better you should ask is anyone here is on a news crew or a student at Denver University. The first because that's what they do for a living; the second because they might have won a debate ticket by lottery.
As in every event, HYPE is rampant in America. Super bowl , world series, new TV shows..everything is blown out of proportion including the countdown to the first debate. I will be watching and not down at Obama HQ's where there will be a raucous crowd. I want to watch in quiet, and then may go celebrate depending how many times Mitty goofs..I'll bet $10,000 he will.
I think they should physically fight.... or maybe just arm wrestle.
I'm for jousting--much more showy and traditional, trumpets blaring as the jousts begin, flags waving like it was a used car lot, maybe some clowns and jugglers in the audience. Would make a good TV spectacle, don't you think?
I'm getting the booze lined up for the Debate Drinking Game. Any mention of the following gets a slurp:
"Tax returns and/or 13% rate"
"Chicago-style Politics"
Every 10 times we hear "middle class" - so keep a pencil/paper handy to keep track.
now two slurps if we hear a :
"Car Elevator"
"Cayman Island Tax Dodging"
I was going to suggest a dance competition - bulerias, or alegrias. What better way to impress the world of the manliness of our candidates than a rousing flamenco competition.
The VP candidates can try a cante hondo competition. They'll be hoarse within minutes, and we'll all be spared.
Things you won't hear:
GR:"The liberal media is distorting my tax plan - it's not that it's vague and doesn't seem to add up, it's that it uses special rich-person math that I can only explain to you after the election."
PO:I'd like to begin by apologizing to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
GR:I hope everyone in this audience appreciated my zinger. My staff and I worked very hard to make it spontaneous.
PO:In the immortal words of Rick Perry . . . [stares off into space].
GR:If you want to start a small business, you can always borrow money from your horse.
PO:I'd like to answer that question from a Kenyan, anti-colonialist point of view.
GR:But let's not lose sight of the fact that I'm a Mormon.
PO Look, I'd love to describe my plans for a second term, but I promised Vladimir Putin I wouldn't lay out much until after the election.
GR: Romneycare is functionally identical to Obamaca. . . . Oh, wait, sorry, these are my OLD notes.
PO: What people don't understand is that the U.N.'s one-world government is already in control.
GR:Let me tell you a little bit about dressage.
PO:Joe Biden's actually running the country.
GR:These podiums are the right height. No, really -- our campaign staffs have been arguing about this for months.
PO:In my second term, I plan to impose a unique hybrid of sharia law and the homosexual agenda that I've been concocting in secret over the past four years.

That might be fun...!
Romney's tone and look made me very uncomfortable. When Romney started shouting I thought he was going to lose it. I thought he had a creepy look in a Nixonesque kind of way.
And I still don't know what Romney's plans are if he becomes president.
I just had this horrible thought. Obama seemed very subdued tonight - like he had a lot on his mind. I am wondering if it has to do with the problems with Syria and Turkey. Maybe something is going on or is going to happen that we don't know about yet.
Appearances favored Romney but perhaps the fact checkers won't. Romney may have planned to say what viewers liked and wanted to hear rather than what he had said he would do policywise over recent weeks. Screw the fact checkers? We'll see what is digested and comes out the other end starting tomorrow.
Maybe Obama wanted to seem like the underdog tonite so that expectations of Romney will be ultra high next time. Then Obama can make a big comeback in the next two debates. (heehee, anything's possible).
Foreign Policy debate should be interesting and defining as this one fades from historically short attention spans. The first quarter is over but the game has a ways to go. Thurston Howell clings to the island tonite, but the Professor will be the most likely one to survive.
First, let me say that the set-up was borrrrrring!
Secondly, Obama disappointed me. Why didn't he call Romney on some of that crap?
Thirdly, Romney was so hyper and aggressive that he was beginning to make me nervous.
I say--they both lost.
This made me recall the Ali-Foreman fight in 1974 aka the "rumble in the jungle." That was a Heavyweight boxing Championship where Ali employed his famous "rope-a-dope" strategy.
Tonight, Romney was the dope, a hyper, overly aggressive challenger who punched himself weary.
We expected that.
Obama did what he had to do - avoid any major mistakes and remain Presidential.

I hope poor old lily hasn't taken to her bed with the vapors.
Who gets the $10K?
Certainly not you, Elvis. Romney is a hyperactive bully who made mince meat out of a respected moderator. He doesn't play by the rules, he never did. It's time to get mean. Obama should NOT be Mr Nice guy any longer. Fact checkers, get busy with all the BS Mitt threw out there.
They both twisted the truth.
WASHINGTON (AP) � President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney spun one-sided stories in their first presidential debate, not necessarily bogus, but not the whole truth.
They made some flat-out flubs, too. The rise in health insurance premiums has not been the slowest in 50 years, as Obama stated. Far from it. And there are not 23 million unemployed, as Romney asserted.
Here's a look at some of their claims and how they stack up with the facts:
OBAMA: "I've proposed a specific $4 trillion deficit reduction plan. ... The way we do it is $2.50 for every cut, we ask for $1 in additional revenue."
THE FACTS: In promising $4 trillion, Obama is already banking more than $2 trillion from legislation enacted along with Republicans last year that cut agency operating budgets and capped them for 10 years. He also claims more than $800 billion in war savings that would occur anyway. And he uses creative bookkeeping to hide spending on Medicare reimbursements to doctors. Take those "cuts" away and Obama's $2.50/$1 ratio of spending cuts to tax increases shifts significantly more in the direction of tax increases.
Obama's February budget offered proposals that would cut deficits over the coming decade by $2 trillion instead of $4 trillion. Of that deficit reduction, tax increases accounted for $1.6 trillion. He promises relatively small spending cuts of $597 billion from big federal benefit programs like Medicare and Medicaid. He also proposed higher spending on infrastructure projects.
ROMNEY: Obama's health care plan "puts in place an unelected board that's going to tell people ultimately what kind of treatments they can have. I don't like that idea."
THE FACTS: Romney is referring to the Independent Payment Advisory Board, a panel of experts that would have the power to force Medicare cuts if costs rise beyond certain levels and Congress fails to act. But Obama's health care law explicitly prohibits the board from rationing care, shifting costs to retirees, restricting benefits or raising the Medicare eligibility age. So the board doesn't have the power to dictate to doctors what treatments they can prescribe.
Romney seems to be resurrecting the assertion that Obama's law would lead to rationing, made famous by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's widely debunked allegation that it would create "death panels."
The board has yet to be named, and its members would ultimately have to be confirmed by the Senate. Health care inflation has been modest in the last few years, so cuts would be unlikely for most of the rest of this decade.
OBAMA: "Over the last two years, health care premiums have gone up � it's true � but they've gone up slower than any time in the last 50 years. So we're already beginning to see progress. In the meantime, folks out there with insurance, you're already getting a rebate."
THE FACTS: Not so, concerning premiums. Obama is mixing overall health care spending, which has been growing at historically low levels, and health insurance premiums, which have continued to rise faster than wages and overall economic growth. Premiums for job-based family coverage have risen by nearly $2,400 since 2009 when Obama took office, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. In 2011, premiums jumped by 9 percent. This year's 4 percent increase was more manageable, but the price tag for family coverage stands at $15,745, with employees paying more than $4,300 of that.
When it comes to insurance rebates under Obama's health care law, less than 10 percent of people with private health insurance are benefiting.
More than 160 million Americans under 65 have private insurance through their jobs and by buying their own policies. According to the administration, about 13 million people will benefit from rebates. And nearly two-thirds of that number will only be entitled to a share of it, since they are covered under job-based plans where their employer pays most of the premium and will get most of the rebate.
ROMNEY on the failure of Obama's economic policy: "And the proof of that is 23 million people out of work. The proof of that is 1 out of 6 people in poverty. The proof of that is we've gone from 32 million on food stamps to 47 million on food stamps. The proof of that is that 50 percent of college graduates this year can't find work."
THE FACTS: The number of unemployed is 12.5 million, not 23 million. Romney was also counting 8 million people who are working part time but would like a full-time job and 2.6 million who have stopped looking for work, either because they are discouraged or because they are going back to school or for other reasons.
He got the figure closer to right earlier in the debate, leaving out only the part-timers when he said the U.S. has "23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work." But he was wrong in asserting that Obama came into office "facing 23 million people out of work." At the start of Obama's presidency, 12 million were out of work.
His claim that half of college graduates can't find work now also was problematic. A Northeastern University analysis for The Associated Press found that a quarter of graduates were probably unemployed and another quarter were underemployed, which means working in jobs that didn't make full use of their skills or experience.
OBAMA: It's important "that we take some of the money that we're saving as we wind down two wars to rebuild America."
THE FACTS: This oft-repeated claim is based on a fiscal fiction. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were paid for mostly with borrowed money, so stopping them doesn't create a new pool of available cash that can be used for something else, like rebuilding America. It just slows down the government's borrowing.
ROMNEY: "At the same time, gasoline prices have doubled under the president. Electric rates are up."
THE FACTS: He's right that the average price has doubled, and a little more, since Obama was sworn in. But presidents have almost no influence on gasoline prices, and certainly not in the near term. Gasoline prices are set on financial exchanges around the world and are based on a host of factors, most importantly the price of crude oil used to make gasoline, the amount of finished gasoline ready to be shipped and the capacity of refiners to make enough to meet market demand.
Retail electricity prices have risen since Obama took office � barely. They've grown by an average of less than 1 percent per year, less than the rate of inflation and slower than the historical growth in electricity prices. The unexpectedly modest rise in electricity prices is because of the plummeting cost of natural gas, which is used to generate electricity.
OBAMA: "Gov. Romney's central economic plan calls for a $5 trillion tax cut � on top of the extension of the Bush tax cuts, that's another trillion dollars � and $2 trillion in additional military spending that the military hasn't asked for. That's $8 trillion. How we pay for that, reduce the deficit, and make the investments that we need to make, without dumping those costs onto middle-class Americans, I think is one of the central questions of this campaign."
THE FACTS: Obama's claim that Romney wants to cut taxes by $5 trillion doesn't add up. Presumably, Obama was talking about the effect of Romney's tax plan over 10 years, which is common in Washington. But Obama's math doesn't take into account Romney's entire plan.
Romney proposes to reduce income tax rates by 20 percent and eliminate the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax. The Tax Policy Center, a Washington research group, says that would reduce federal tax revenues by $465 billion in 2015, which would add up to about $5 trillion over 10 years.
However, Romney says he wants to pay for the tax cuts by reducing or eliminating tax credits, deductions and exemptions. The goal is a simpler tax code that raises the same amount of money as the current system but does it in a more efficient manner.
The knock on Romney's plan, which Obama accurately cited, is that Romney has refused to say which tax breaks he would eliminate to pay for the lower rates.
ROMNEY: "What would I cut from spending? Well, first of all, I will eliminate all programs by this test, if they pass it: Is the program so critical it's worth borrowing money from China to pay for it?"
THE FACTS: China continues to be portrayed by Romney and many other Republicans as the poster child for runaway federal deficits. It's true that China is the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt, but it only represents about an 8 percent stake. And China has recently been decreasing its holdings, according to the Treasury Department. Some two-thirds of the $16 trillion national debt is owed to the federal government, with the largest single stake the Federal Reserve, as well as American investors and the Social Security Trust Fund.
OBAMA: "Independent studies looking at this said the only way to meet Gov. Romney's pledge of not ... adding to the deficit is by burdening middle-class families. The average middle-class family with children would pay about $2,000 more."
THE FACTS: That's just one scenario. Obama's claim relies on a study by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research group. The study, however, is more nuanced than Obama indicated.
The study concludes it would be impossible for Romney to meet all of his stated goals without shifting some of the tax burden from people who make more than $200,000 to people who make less.
In one scenario, the study says, Romney's proposal could result in a $2,000 tax increase for families who make less than $200,000 and have children.
Romney says his plan wouldn't raise taxes on anyone, and his campaign points to several studies by conservative think tanks that dispute the Tax Policy Center's findings. Most of the conservative studies argue that Romney's tax plan would stimulate economic growth, generating additional tax revenue without shifting any of the tax burden to the middle class. Congress, however, doesn't use those kinds of projections when it estimates the effect of tax legislation.
ROMNEY on cutting the deficit: "Obamacare's on my list. ... I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS. ... I'll make government more efficient."
THE FACTS: Romney has promised to balance the budget in eight years to 10 years, but he hasn't offered a complete plan. Instead, he's promised a set of principles, some of which � like increasing Pentagon spending and restoring more than $700 billion in cuts that Democrats made in Medicare over the coming decade � work against his goal. He also has said he will not consider tax increases.
He pledges to shrink the government to 20 percent of the size of the economy, as opposed to more than 23 percent of gross domestic product now, by the end of his first term. The Romney campaign estimates that would require cuts of $500 billion from the 2016 budget alone. He also has pledged to cut tax rates by 20 percent, paying for them by eliminating tax breaks for the wealthiest and through economic growth.
To fulfill his promise, then, Romney would require cuts to other programs so deep � under one calculation requiring cutting many areas of the domestic budget by one-third within four years � that they could never get through Congress. Cuts to domestic agencies would have to be particularly deep.
But he's offered only a few modest examples of government programs he'd be willing to squeeze, like subsidies to PBS and Amtrak. He does want to repeal Obama's big health care law, but that law is actually forecast to reduce the deficit.
ROMNEY: "Simpson-Bowles, the president should have grabbed that."
OBAMA: "That's what we've done, made some adjustments to it, and we're putting it before Congress right now, a $4 trillion plan."
THE FACTS: At first, the president did largely ignore the recommendations made by his deficit commission headed by Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Alan Simpson. He later incorporated some of the proposals, largely the less controversial ones. He did not endorse some of the politically troublesome recommendations, such as trimming popular tax deductions like the one for home mortgage interest.

I guess I didn't miss much as I was in bed, fast asleep by 9:15.
Millions of Americans Lose Consciousness
DENVER (The Borowitz Report)�Millions of Americans lost consciousness on Wednesday night between the hours of 9 and 10:30 P.M. E.T., according to widespread anecdotal reports from coast to coast.
The sudden epidemic of sleepiness prevented voters from watching more than a minute or two of the first Presidential debate between former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, which the few observers who remained awake have called the most tedious in American history.
Moderator Jim Lehrer�s opening instruction to the audience that they remain silent proved unnecessary, since within minutes most of them sat with their heads tipped forward, drool visibly dangling from their mouths.
Mr. Obama began the debate with a high-risk tactic that seemed designed to alienate huge swaths of the country�the use of math and facts�but ultimately his words seemed unlikely to turn off many viewers, who were soon off on their journey to dreamland.
Mr. Romney�s much-trumpeted "zingers" were nowhere in evidence, except for a mystifying non-sequitur attack on PBS�s Big Bird.
The only fireworks came at the very beginning of the debate, when Mr. Obama congratulated his wife, Michelle, on their twentieth wedding anniversary, drawing this response from Mr. Romney: "I disagree with your decision to marry Michelle. On Day One, I�ll reverse it."

The city boasts a fine collection of half-timbered houses and interesting monuments. Both the old town and the mine at Rammelsberg have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1992. Goslar lies on the northwestern edge of the Harz massif and makes a perfect base for exploring these mountains.

Hi all,
hopefully a quick one but something I have been trying to configure for some time.
In short, installed OSX 10.6 in VMware without any major issues. I am now at the point of trying to configure graphics but I am a bit lost as to what to expect and what to do.
To start with I installed VMsvga2_v1.2.4_OS_10.6-7.pkg drivers and I had no issues after reboot.
Enabled 3D accelaration in VMWare, also no issues.
Tried various options in vmx and Boot.plist but none gives me expected 3D performance.
Is there a clear guide on how to set this aspect up?
Also, what is the best way of confirming it is working? In my case FrontRow gives blank screen, QuickTime no error but nothing else (doesn't load) and DVD player starts but shows error about no compatible device being found (which from what I read is expected). Any other ways of confirming 3D acceleration is in place?
Many many thanks in advance.

Looking for a Plant
mojavegardener(93527)March 23, 2006
Hi everybody. I used to live in the San Fernando Valley, California and had a plant that had gladiola-like leaves, but the flowers were on a stem and looked similar to a Freesia before blooming, just sort of dripping along the top. Orange blossoms, blooming in June. I don't know the name of the plant, or have a picture. Can anybody help? Dies back in winter, and re-grows in the spring. Thanks all!!

Make Music Chicago returns in its third year to celebrate the ability of everyone to participate in music-making activities. The festival is inspired by France's Fête de la Musique, which began in 1982 and became a worldwide phenomenon celebrating the joy of making music, with 24 hours of live music for all ages and genres in 130 countries and 460 cities.
On June 21, the Driehaus Museum's doors open to visitors one hour early, at 9 a.m. Then, starting at 10 a.m., you'll find Chicagoland artists entertaining audiences in the Driehaus Museum's Sculpture Gallery. Later in the afternoon, the music will move to the Ballroom on the third floor. Make Music Chicago's Grand Finale takes place next door to the Museum with a street party at St. James Cathedral from 5 to 9 p.m.
From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., general admission to the Museum is free. Admission to the Highlights of the Museum Tour at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. may be purchased for $5 per person.
A full schedule of performances throughout the city is available on MakeMusicChicago.com. This program is presented in partnership with Rush Hour Concerts.

Hello! Welcome to my userpage.
I used to be a postgraduate researcher in music at Durham University[1], and have been contributing occasionally to Wikipedia since December 2005. My particular interest is in British composer and music articles, and often other pages that I have written have a link to these, although sometimes my other contributions are not connected at all.
On Wikipedia I tend to write pages about British light music, a branch of music that's fairly neglected, so I'm quite pleased to see that the text from some of these articles is being used on the Light Music Society website.[2] I have also added various other music-related articles, and around November every year I seem to end up writing articles about medieval Christmas carols. I have four "Good articles"; Personent Hodie, I syng of a mayden, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, and Wisbech Grammar School which you can probably guess are where I originate from and went to school.
Outside of Wikipedia, I have presented academic papers about the composers Ernest Farrar[3] and Gerald Finzi, so it's a bit shameful I haven't really improved their WP pages - it's mainly because I tend to focus on serious British music of that era as part of my university research and don't want to end up quoting my internet self! I also used to write and present my own student radio programmes called Absolute Classic[4] and A Little Light Music[5] on Purple Radio, the latter of which got through to the final of the 2009 Student Radio Awards.[6] This programme used to feature a slightly silly radio serial called Forsooth!, which is still available on YouTube.[7]
I have occasionally added a few bits and pieces to British radio and television pages here and there as well, although usually by accident, as I write television articles and other articles under another more active alternative account. (My other account is not used as a "sockpuppet", but exists purely because I prefer to keep my music-related articles separate under my actual name.) Also outside of Wikipedia I co-write a website about media-type things called "Image Dissectors"[8] which features a subsite BBC Radio comedy and drama database called Audion Tube.[9] My latest external website, "War Composers" is about composers who fought in World War I.[10] I should state for the record that none of my edits represent the views of my employer.

What the new realignment will mean
different come playoff time - fo sure
The top three teams in each division will make up the first 12 teams in the playoffs.
The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference, based on regular-season points and regardless of division.
It will be possible, then, for one division to send five teams to the postseason while the other sends three.
The seeding of the wild-card teams within each divisional playoff will be determined on the basis of regular-season points. The division winner with the most points in the conference will be matched against the wild-card team with the lowest number of points; the division winner with the second-most points in the conference will play the wild-card team with the second fewest points.
The teams finishing second and third in each division will play in the first round of the playoffs. The winners of each series will play for berths in the Conference Championship series.
The two divisional champions in each conference will then play in the conference finals to advance to the Stanley Cup Final
Re: What the new realignment will mean
What the new alignment means: no more easy playoff berths for the Capitals!
It's going to be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun seeing them in the bottom half of the conference where they belong!
Re: What the new realignment will mean
since only the top 3 in each division will get automatic playoff spots
I see Pens, Rangers and Isles getting in from our Division

new azalea grower needs info
I would like to grow Azaleas in zone 5, eastern Washington. Can I get some advice on how I can overwinter these plants and where I can order them online?
First, there are evergreen azaleas which are typically more tender and require some protection, especially the first 2 or 3 winters.
Then there are deciduous azaleas which are typically hardier and shouldn't require any extra-ordinary efforts. A good mulch layer should be adequate.
Also, I assume by Eastern Washington you mean you have low rainfall and a more prairie-like climate with hot dry summers and cool nights. When you don't have rain, you will have to irrigate about once a week in summers and less often in winter, and not at all when the soil is frozen.
A good mulch layer will help you conserve soil moisture and keep the roots cools. Since you have cool nights, the mulch helps average the soil temperature.
With evergreen azaleas, first pick out a hardy variety and then protect it from winter sun and winter wind, especially the first 2 or 3 winter. Also, a spray-on antidesiccant will help if applied on before winter and again around mid-winter.
Some Gable evergreen azaleas that are good for hardiness: 'Herbert', purplish red; 'Purple Splendor', rich purple; and 'Stewartsonian', blood orange; hardy to Zone 5, -15 F.
Some Robin Hill evergreen azaleas that are good for hardiness: 'Conversation Piece', pink and white mix; 'Gwenda', pale pink; Nancy of Robin Hill, pastel-pink semi-double hose-in-hose flowers; 'Robin Hill Gillie' , large salmon flowers with red throats; and 'Watchett', creamy pink; hardy to Zone 5.
Some of the hardier Ghent deciduous azaleas include:
* Corneille : 6', -15F. It has soft double pink flowers.
* Daviesi : 4', -15F. It has white flower with yellow centers.
* Irene Koster : 6', -15F. It is late blooming pale rose pink flowers with a gold flare. Fragrant.
* Narcissiflora : 6', -15F. It has double light yellow flowers with pointed petals.
Some of the hardier Knapp Hill deciduous azaleas include:
* Cecile' (Exbury) : 6', -15F. It has red flowers with an orange-yellow blotch.
* Fireball' (Knap Hill) : 5', -20F. It has brilliant red flowers on an upright plant.
* Gibraltar (Exbury) : 5', -15F. It is brilliant orange, flushed with red, ball cluster, on a compact plant.
* King Red (Exbury) : 5', -15F. It has vivid red, slightly ruffled, large ball cluster, compact plant.
* Klondyke (Exbury) : 8', -15F. It has golden-yellow flowers. Striking bronze new foliage.
I highly recommend Gibraltar and Klondyke.
The Northern Lights are a new group of deciduous azaleas from the University of Minnesota for areas where winter temperatures are severe. They are a group of beautiful shrubs that are cold hardy to zone 3 and flower bud hardy to -40 F. Plants are fairly compact and can grow to about 6 feet in height and width. Some of the more notable Northern Lights azaleas are:
* Pink Lights Azalea : 3', -35F. Introduced in 1984. The flower has a light pink color with a sweet floral scent. Mature plants will have a height and spread of about eight feet. The plant is extremely floriferous.
* Rosy Lights Azalea. : 4', -35F. Introduced in 1984. The flower color is a deep rosy pink and plants are extremely floriferous. Plant height and spread is about eight feet.
* White Lights Azalea. : 5', -35F. White Lights is a hybrid of Rhododendron prinophyllum and a white flowered Exbury hybrid. The flower buds have a delicate pale pink cast but open to a white flower with a slight yellow blotch. This cultivar is extremely floriferous and has a flower bud hardiness rating of -35 degrees F. Plant height and spread is about five feet.
* Spicy Lights Azalea. : 3', -35F. Spicy Lights is a selection from hybrids having Rhododendron prinophyllum in their background. The flower has a salmon color with a slight fragrance. Flower bud hardiness is rated at -35 degrees F. Plant height is about six feet and spread is about eight feet.
* Orchid Lights Azalea. : 2', -35F. Introduced in 1986, Orchid Lights Azalea is a hybrid of Rhododendron canadense and Rhododendron x kosteranum. The orchid-colored flowers are 1-1/2 inches across and are sterile, so seed capsules are not produced. Flower bud hardiness is rated at -45 degrees F. The compact plants of Orchid Lights will mature at an average height of three feet and a spread of three to four feet.
* Golden Lights Azalea. : 5', -30F. Introduced in 1986, Golden Lights Azalea is a hybrid of an Exbury seedling and an unidentified azalea seedling. The golden flowers are 1-1/2 to 2 inches across and have a cold hardiness rating of -30 degrees F. The mature plants reach an average height and spread of four feet. Golden Lights has the added advantage of greater resistance to mildew than some other hybrid azalea cultivars.
* Northern Hi-Lights Azalea. : 3', -25F. Introduced in 1994, Northern Hi-Lights Azalea is a hybrid of an Exbury seedling and an unidentified azalea seedling. It is a hybrid with the same parents as "Golden Lights". The flowers are creamy white with a bright yellow upper petal and have a cold hardiness rating of -30 degrees F. Plants grow relatively slowly to four feet high and four to five feet wide. The dark green foliage has some resistance to mildew.
Here is a link that might be useful: How to raise Azaleas
My favorite is Karen's which is an extremely cold hardy Gable hybrid. I believe it is hardy to -25 degrees F. I has a great lavender bloom display and good to often EXCELLENT burgundy fall color. It will need watering in the summer like most azalea's.
Here is a link that might be useful: My blog
Karen and Karens are both very hardy. But the Gable plant is called Karen, not Karens.
The Gable hybrid 'Karen' (a kaempheri and poukhanense hybrid) has purplish-pink flowers and is hardy to -20F. It will bloom in the Fall occasionally. It is a great little azalea with a nice growth habit, heavy spring bloomer, great spring and fall leaf color.
The Pederson hybrid Karens' (Hinode Giri x R. yedoense var. poukhanense) is a hardy low growing azalea with reddish-purple flowers. It is stated to be hardy to -25 F. Leaves acquire copper tones in fall.

The box is cheaply made
Overstock was great with the price and delivery of this product, it was the product I was disappointed with. The chest is very cheaply made, I expected it to be stronger than it was, the books are all great though.Read More
while the case looks really cool it comes in is cardboard and very flimsy. the books are books, but i paid an additional $60 +/- dollars for the cool looking packaging. i could have just got the books for half the price. very disappointed.Read More
Product fine, overstock, not so much
The set itself is perfect. However, overstock did not do their job. This was a gift and the card was not added. My friend almost returned it because she thought someone made a mistake. I was sent a tracking number that was not attached to anything. I started to get worried and contacted the company. They informed me that not all packages are trackable. Then why send me a tracking number of its worthless. I may not buy from overstock again.Read More
Great gift
Bought it for my girlfriend who is a huge Harry Potter fan and she was THRILLED.Read More
best price
I ordered this gift for a family member. I shopped around to different sites to price the item. Overstock had the best price so I had to jump on it and I'm glad I did, because the recepient really enjoyed the set and was impressed by the packaging. I would've given it 5 stars but the product took longer than expected with no current updates for the delivery, so my gift was given after her actual birthday. All in all, its still a great buy and overstock staff was extremely helpful in assisting me with my questions regarding shipment.Read More
happy child
The book set was very nice. My son was thrilled. Unfortunately this was meant as a christmas gift, but he seen it on the deck the day it was delivered when he came home from school. That is my one complaint. It said wht it was in big letters on the outside box that it was shipped in.Read More
I am so glad that I bought the harry potter books from overstock. They were perfect and cheaper than any local bookstore. Fast shipping and perfect condition. I am so happy.Read More
Good, BUT....
Beware if you are ordering these as a gift! The box they are shipped in has the Harry Potter Boxed Set and logo printed all over the outside. So much for the Christmas surprise. :(Read More
I still like it
The books are great, but the trunk it comes in is just printed cardboard. Kind of cheap for a box setRead More

No, the long stream of bickering was caused by the joke about incinerating Jews in the Holocaust.
It's near the top of page 5, at the moment.

Ah, Hitler as the second coming? Is that what that one post was about? That's funny as hell, then, yeah.
As I said at the time, I didn't get it. I was confused if that was supposed to be funny or what. It seems I missed some of the symbology or something.

I am trying to create custom components in Android using Surfaceview and canvas drawing. The components are re-sizable and rotatable by touching. Consider creating an image view its Top,Right,Bottom, and Left edges are scalable by touching and dragging the required edge. I am using
RectF to keep the bounds of the component, For rotation I am using
canvas.rotate(angle, bounds.centerX(),bounds.centerY()) method. The problem is while resizing top edge, the Let , Right and Bottom edges should be fixed, and I cannot able to fix it if the rotation angle is other than 0 degrees. I need a math solution to find out the x,y coordinates of a rotated rectangle with respect to the actual rectangle's bounds.
I can explain it with the help of some images. The following Figure displays two rectangles whose bounds are also known and displayed in respective colors. Consider the Green Rect as the components initial bounds, ie. rotated by -45 Degrees, Center is (10,10). Now going to re-size the Top edge of the rectangle and displayed in next Figure 2.
From the Figure 2 it is understood that the Y position is reduced to 4 from 6. The rotated Rectangle is also shown in pink color. Remember I am doing resizing while the component is at rotation angle -45 degrees, so while dragging Top Edge rectangle's Left, Right and Bottom positions should not be changed. So the Figure 2's Pink Rectangle should have Left, Right, and Bottom coordinates same as Figure 1's Green Rectangle. Comparison of the obtained and expected rectangle is shown in Figure 3.
In Figure 3 the yellow color rectangle is the Expected/Required out put. The obtained rectangle Pink color is shifted upwards compared to the Green rotated rectangle and that is varying depends on the Angle of rotation.
- I have rotation angle = -45 degree
- Bounds of Actual (Not re-sized) rectangle.
- Bounds of Actual (Not re-sized) rectangle at Rotation = -45 degrees.
- Bounds of Re-sized rectangle.
- Bounds of Re-sized rectangle at Rotation = -45 degrees.
How do I calculate the Bounds / Center of the Yellow Rectangle. So that I can implement the resizing of my components correctly? Let me know is there is any mathematics that can be applied?
The required points / coordinates are marked as Red color circles in Figure 3.
