Rundle: Romney sorta won the debate because Obama didn't
Mitt Romney won the debate for the simple reason that Barack Obama lost it, our man in the US reckons. And the latest polling shows voters tend to agree.
One day after the second debate, and the results are in — everyone thinks Barack Obama won it, or at least fought Mitt Romney to a draw. Instant polling after the event also gave Obama the win, with the CNN poll showing a seven-point edge over Romney: 46% to 39%.
It's worth noting there's a 4% error margin on that poll — but it's also worth noting the sample was 33/33/33% Republicans/Democrats/independents, where the Republicans are actually only about 24% of the general population. So, to use a technical statistical term, eeeeh y'know.
The figures are also borne out by the qualitative analysis, with most pundits in the Mitt moshpit known as the National Review scoring it a draw, and the Left pundits who were tearing their hair out at Obama's initial performance have come back to suckle at the teat.
Andrew Sullivan, ex-conservative and continuing doofus, was best: having previously dubbed Obama the "black Reagan", he declared the election lost after the first debate, now returned, practically weeping, saying it was the "Obama I always knew".
Well, maybe. Your correspondent, perhaps on a pessimistic jag, judged the debate a sort of win for Romney, which garnered a few hits from the peanut gallery. And when you look at the event in clips, with Romney's various turns — cross-questioning Obama like a motel cleaner suspected of stealing his cufflinks, Obama saying that Romney's five-point plan was a "one-point plan", moderator Candy Crowley correcting Romney as to whether Obama had spoken of a "terror attack" the day after the Benghazi attack and, last but not least, Romney's bizarre remark that people brought him "binders of women" to choose amongst in staffing his Massachusetts executive — there were no real clips showing Obama in a similar light. So that counts as a win.
But these are all victories on the pundit principle, of performance and besting. It's not necessarily the way people watch the debate, especially those clowns (sorry, citizens) who are yet to make up their mind, between two substantially different ethical and political approaches to the organisation of society.
There, I thought, and still think, that Romney won the debate for the simple reason that Obama lost it. Though the President took the fight to Romney right from the top, he failed to follow through — coming back to his own record. Yet Obama's own record only passes muster by reference to what would have happened had he not done what he had. The only thing that the middling American recovery looks good beside is the potential depression, unemployment spike and auto industry collapse that would have occurred — or can be argued would have occurred — had the Republicans got their mitts on the big House again.
That's arguing a counterfactual, and difficult to do, but essential. The great example of that is Paul Keating's 1993 victory over John Hewson, in which the prime minister stooped to jam it up the opposition leader's freckle. The spectacle of the Blade Runner style blasted earth that would be implemented days after Hewson landed in the Lodge was sufficient to drive a grumbling populace back to Papa.
Obama hasn't swung that, and there's no chance he will really try. In the absence of such, Romney's economic plan — ze plan, ze plan — continues to impress people. The polls bear this out. A CBS poll had Romney rated as better on the economy: 65% to 34%. That's a major lead in the area where people will be listening very carefully. In that respect, I suspect there will be no major bounce back to Obama on the basis of his overall win.
Mind you, one poll had Obama winning by 51% to 17% among undecided voters. The poll in question was taken by, erm, Xbox, via a survey on Xbox Live's "election channel". Say what? No, me neither. But the Italian plumber vote is sewn up, blah blah, other sad lapsed cultural references, signs off, opens beer, sigh.

Could not agree more. While there is something to be said for politics as sport/entertainment, it seems strange to me that so many are "floaters".

Guy is getting the vote out going to make as big a difference this time as it did for Obama last time ? Has that tree been shaken and all the low hanging fruit is now taken into account ?

Well Guy, when it comes to who won or lost, it seems to me that you've fallen for (or been dragged into) the curse of the deadline. I think I prefer Nate Silver's take, that it will take a few days to see just what the second debate has done to the polls.
Meanwhile, it *did* manage to give us the "women in binders" meme and that's no bad thing.

This morning a Professor from Wollongong University was interviewed on ABC 97.3 and he added the most important fact - the lies that Romney is premising his statements with! His 'math' just don't add up? He also mentioned that Obama's support could be higher than posted? Perhaps Obama could've challenged him on more of these 'incorrect policies'? When Romney asserted his ability to employ more people, he should've been challenged with his comment, that he likes sacking people? Such compassion for the unemployed? His taxes? His refusal to be accountable re his yearly incomes for the past 10 years or so? Why is that?What does he have to hide? Claims by him of Obama fostering companies in China, but wasn't made to tell us how much of his investments are in China? Talks with a forked tongue in my view!
I watched the debate all the way through, and I kept on 'talking' to Romney about his so-called plans for the economy. He's voted against much of what he now asserts while in front of the people. His running mate's view of how he'll 'fix' the economy has been disputed by people with heaps more knowledge/experience than I have. It's more of the Republican's war cry - tax cuts for the rich, and their distorted view of the 'trickle down' effect, which is bs, and most middle income and poor people know it - in all capitalist countries, not just the US.
Look at the so-called 'remedies' for countries like Spain, Greece etc. No tough restrictions on the rich, only the poor. Extreme hardship leading to huge increases in the suicide numbers. People starving including children, while the so-called 'Leaders' are still being driven around in their Mercedes? None of them look like they've had to tighten their belt? No weight loss that I can see? Still living OK in the top paddock? It's obscene!
The Republicans will only cause further harm to those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder. Romney has already let us know what his opinion is of anyone on social security etc. Every accusation against Obama re the economy was caused on George W's watch? The wealthy were allowed to commit crimes in order to feather their own nests. Monies, trillions of them, taken from the 'ordinary folk' to bail out the wealthy? THEN, when things started looking up, they were going to engage in the same behaviour/s? They were lucky not to have been lynched - such was the anger among the masses. Wonderful capitalism - bail out the crooks and greedy, and make the 'little people' pay. It's called 'socialising the losses and privatising the profits'?
Who started the two wars, that took trillions away from health and education for example. Romney's pathetic example of his so-called positive attitude to women was a joke - except I wasn't laughing! One thing extreme right wing politicians have anywhere in the world, is their attitude to women - patronising, churlish, inhibiting and sexist, misogynist even - that is, an ingrained negative view re the rights of women, from the cradle onwards. Romney's "binder full of women" didn't impress me. At the same time, he'd vote against 'Obama Care' even though it's the same as what he introduced as Governor? Why is that? To make the misogynist Republicans in Congress etc happy, and to appease the Tea Party followers.
When they berate the Democratic Party for 'big government' it doesn't include the sexual health and reproductive lives of women. No way! Some even go so far as to insist on women being 'raped' by an invasive vaginal ultrasound prior to having a termination. How can anyone who believes in the US Constitution have anything to do with such a gross view!If you believe that women are only chattells, play things, sexual toys even, it's easy! I shakes me head! Freedom of speech, perhaps? More like 'free if you agree speech',(certainly was that way under Bush - I don't think the PATRIOT Act has been repealed, has it?) the right to bear arms, too right! But the right to control your own personal space - your own body, NO? Hypocrites!
I don't like what Obama is doing re foreign affairs, or should I say, war mongering and deliberate assassinations of 'enemies', particularly in Pakistan at the moment, but on domestic issues, they run rings around the Republicans re the whole country, certainly poor people and education! Hilary Clinton's outrage over the attempted assassination of that very brave young woman almost made me puke? Every Tuesday, according to reports, Obama chooses who'll 'get it' that week via drones? The 1.6 million dead in Iraq, and the almost 50,000 in Afghanistan - that's the first time I've even seen a figure re Afghanistan. It's probably way out - probably a lot more! No grief for them though!
The ordinary American person doesn't seem very militant to me. They appear to put up with a lot without any protests or rallies etc. Perhaps we just don't hear about them! They need to take more interest and start making some demands - such as free and fair elections! That'd be a good place to start! My understanding and from the 'How Bush Won Florida' experience is that the political parties/leaders have too much involvement with the electoral process. While that remains, it's hard to take this seriously!

"I suspect there will be no major bounce back to Obama on the basis of his overall win.."
Well, we in the peanut gallery* might quibble over that statement. Obama is still leading in at least 8 of 12 critical "decider" states (and the rest are too close to call; most are technically too close to call but the electoral math(s) requires Romney to win most of those, and he's not even clearly winning Virginia …).
So BO only had to halt the slide which was not some giant momentum as some deluded Republicans convinced themselves of. It was a pretty modest overall improvement but even less in the states that will decide the election. If Obama's figures even just hold, let alone show some slight improvement, in several of those critical states, Romney is screwed. We have to wait another week for trustworthy poll results but I will be surprised if BO hasn't held the line.
Then there is the third debate on MR's weakest area. It's not a slam dunk because if BO takes the diffident professor line again (and who could discount that?) he will score an own goal again. But he has already, with Candy's aid, largely shot down the GOPs nonsense on the Libyan consulate.
*(but actually I suspect Guy is the one hoovering up those copious free peanuts in all those American bars!)

About the X-boxers and the "get out the vote" campaigns: yes, they still matter hugely. As does the vote early campaign because of the demographics. They young X-boxers will vote Dem if only the sods can be engaged away from their games for a millisecond or two, so it was brilliant to use the X-box in that way. Bill Gates is reluctantly working for BO!
Every election cycle brings some new advantage to the Dems. Four years of new voters which favour the Dems. Four years of the relentless transformation of certain states by the immigrant, especially Hispanic vote. Florida is already a purple state while even Arizona is trending that way in this election (in crucial Senate elections) and ultimately it will be Texas' fate too. As discussed way back at the beginning of the convention season the Tea-Party GOP is losing their votes.
By the way, Guy, you must be seeing the same repeated excerpts from the debate: those same 3 wins by BO which are magnified by the media. The spitting fury of the GOP and Fox brigade about Candy Crowley and the calling the debate a draw even by the conservative media, tells you all you need to know.

Intrade money went on Obama immediately after the debate, putting him up to 65% from 60% for the win. (And it's exactly there as I type.)

Don't agree with you this time, Guy, on the required Obama strategy. Do you really think that that dumb electorate - especially the really dumb swinging voter contingent - is going to be able to follow a counterfactual on the economy? Especially if the first time they hear it is in a one minute grab during a debate. I would agree that the Obama team do need to package up the counterfactual into baby-steps, and then run an ad avalanche on those. Maybe, only maybe, if it is given that intensity of exposure, say ten percent of them might get it. That might be enough. But Obama was right to concentrate on undermining Romney's credibility in the debate.

Guy, I think you are just getting too cute with your analysis. I prefer to read those who really know what they're talking about, like Nate Silver of the New York Times. As a dual American/Australian citizen who lives half the year in Sydney, half in Massachusetts, I find Australian coverage of the US elections pretty pathetic.

on the binders thing, one presumes after that John Edwards inspired movie Ides of March, that Mitt is shown binders of resumes and photos of pneumatic executive staff rather than be distracted with personal interviews, not to imply anything but you can't be too careful with the political career and all. As the movie script says 'you can start a war … but you can't &%#$@ the interns'.

The United States of America in its illegal, undeclared war against Vietnam:
- murdered more than 3 million civilians
-dropped more bombs on this relatively small country than were dropped in ther whole of the European theatre in WW2
-caused generational, widespread birth defects due to its reckless use of chemical defoliants
-reneged on the $8 billion reparations it faithfully agreed to pay at the Paris Peaqce Conference to end the war
-kept Vietnam out of the IMF developmental funding cycle until the 1990's to punish it for humiliating the US armed forces
The GR8 Satan is an evil empire has been controlled by the MIC since 1945, and over the past 25 years, a foreign government's DC lobby group.
And now, both Obama & Romney, are war mongering against Iran, to feed the MIC monster that President Eisenhower warned the US citizenry about in 1960.
And to think that this DC assembly of human scum is our principal ally.

Whiney adlosecent Vs the programmed Plutocrat. I must agree with Rundle, who is as desperate a partisan as I am disdainful, that because BO didn't wipe the floor and piss on the remants to wash them away, then he lost and the Mittbot blanded & bullshitted & smarmed through, to what passes for the consciousness of the great moronic masses.

Liz45, thank you for your analysis of where Obama should have attacked, but unfortunately didn't. Who knows what his ideas were in not addressing Romney's lack of compassion and hypocracy.
KH, all valid points although I don't believe Obama want's his government involved in another disaster in the Middle East, that an attack on Iran would be. Of course, if Romney and his lunatic right get in, I am certain he will stand by their ernstwhile ally Israel and launch strikes, which will be another unmitigated disaster for the whole world.
Agreed, the MIC has to be fed. All those aircraft carriers (an offensive weapons system) have to be employed somewhere.

@Kevin Hubert - The US still hasn't admitted to using Agent Orange let alone taking responsibility for the unbelievable death and misery caused by this substance. Shameful.
I had high hopes prior to Obama's election but, like many, it was business as usual - worse even! I certainly won't get up to watch his inauguration if he's re-elected.
My understanding of the whole bs against Iran (not that I'm a supporter, I just don't like the hysteria and hypocrisy of the US etc) started over a speech that the President gave where he allegedly said that Israel should be wiped off the map. I've read an article where the full interpretation of that speech was translated, and he didn't say that at all. What he did was quote someone else who'd said something similar - but not that autocratic or 'severe'?
It's suited the West ever since to go along with the claims that he allegedly made in his speech. Even Bob Carr and others have alluded to this assertion, which is awful, but he didn't say it! I'm sure the article could be found if people have the desire to. I don't know why the President of Iran hasn't put the record straight. I don't like him, I don't like his autocratic ways etc, attitudes to women, but he's no worse than Putin, or many other dictators who we suck up to - Saudi Arabia and the like!
I read a really good book called 'American Torture' written by an American called, Michael??? which discusses the US's history of using torture from after WW2 until Hicks, Habib and so on. Most revealing. It states that at least 30,000 Vietnamese were murdered by the CIA and military during the Vietnam War - that's apart from the several million who died. It also gives an insight into the US use of same in Central America and other places that we are aware of. Why the US has the gall to boast of their 'freedom and democracy' values is beyond me - they should be cowering with shame!
@mary singh - What a load of rubbish! Who are our 'enemys' (sic)? The word you're looking for is 'enemies'? Obama a "Socialist/Dictatorship"? Are you serious? Hugo Chavez has just been re-elected by 55% of the population. Many Western leaders would love that to boast about. When it comes to the economy, Obama inherited a basket case, all done by the Bush Administration. When it comes to trouncing the Constitution, you can't go past George W? Remember the PATRIOT Act? I suggest you watch, Unconstitutional'The War against Civil Liberties' and 'How Bush Won Florida'? Both are on the net at http://www.freedocumentaries.org
Then you could have a look at the environmental protections etc that Chaney instigated that allowed Coal Seam Gas companies to do untold damage, and it's still going on. The two illegal wars started by Bush And Co? Guantanamo Bay; Abu Graib; the detention of children and the torture of same in both Iraq and Afghanistan!
President Chavez, in complete contradiction to the dictatorial attitudes/behaviours of the 'world's biggest democracy' has turned the economy around; enabled the poor to get an education; women seeing a doctor to care for them during their pregnancy; making oil companies and others pay their back taxes or kicked them out; is providing housing for the low income people (gradually - takes time); providing supermarkets for the lowest income people at a reduced cost; WITH the people, the Constitution has been re-written and then after several progressive ballots, the people voted overwhelmingly to accept the final draft. Women in their 70's going to Uni? Community meetings; some businesses taken over and operated by the workers in a free, democratic and productive manner - many are doing well! And the list goes on!
Incidentally, unlike the US, Venezuela has had each election overseen by reputable people from other countries, and it's been confirmed, that the elections were free and fair! Jimmy Carter oversaw these elections a few times!
I think the Middle East is "ablaze" because after decades of oppression (overseen and endorsed by past US Presidents, not just the current one) the people said "enough"? Both the US, Britain were the countries that sold weapons to dictators who they endorsed. The US has sold/given weapons to Israel to use against the Palestinians for decades. It's the past US presidents who propped up the awful cruelty of past despotic Presidents of Middle Eastern countries - I include Iraq in this as well. In fact, both George W and Clinton entertained the Taliban prior to them being 'out of favour'? Similar to their relationship with Saddam Hussein! Lots of US and British government people received lots of pressies from Saddam over the years! We averted our gaze because it suited the 'big picture'? Just as we do the same in many African countries. As long as the US can remove their resources, they don't mind how the citizens suffer! Un-important to the 'national interest'?

Like how they just follow US on Hugo Chavez and his recent election as President! By 55% of the vote! Our pollies would only dream of such a record! The people have gone to the polls, I think 10 times? in 12 or so years? And yet msm keeps on attacking Chavez for his so-called autocratic ways? Most frustrating indeed! I wish I could speak Spanish (get 3 of my grandkids to teach me?)and had the money, I'd have gone to Venezuela just to witness the huge rallies, the excitement and all the good things that country has achieved since Chavez was elected President! Amazing accomplishments - WITH the people! They've been involved all the way - from re-writing their Constitution to cutting poverty by huge amounts; growth in their economy, much better than ours for instance! Still more to do, but from accounts of Aussies who've been there, it's an inspiration to see it in action! I wish I could go! Just once would be good!
Just one stat! Over 200,000 dwellings have been built since Chavez won that first election. And there's more to come! Imagine if we had a govt that placed such emphasis on the homeless!

The once and future closer
Posted by Gordon Edes, Globe Staff March 22, 2007 03:26 PM
Tim Wakefield, who pitched six innings today, said he hadn't heard from manager Terry Francona that Jonathan Papelbon would be closing, but said if it's true, "it makes us a better team.''
"He was lights out last year. I'd love to have him back as closer. It makes us a better team.''
Papelbon is in his third inning of work. He gave up a run on a couple of singles in the seventh, struck out two in a 1-2-3 eighth, and is now in the bottom of the ninth inning with the potential winning run on second after a walk and sacrifice.
4-4. Wily Mo and Kevin Youkilis both hit long home runs for the Sox. Chase Utley took Wakefield deep.

BRANTFORD, Ont. - A southern Ontario couple has been charged with animal cruelty after 40 ball python snakes and five eggs were found in a motel room.
The reptiles, some of them more than a metre long, were found last week in plastic storage bins in a room at the Bell City Motel in Brantford, Ont.
The Ontario SPCA says the snakes were dehydrated, and didn't have water or enough space.
The snakes' owners weren't there when the animals were found, but the SPCA says they later surrendered their pets to investigators.
A man and a woman are charged with causing distress to an animal, failing to provide care necessary for an animal's general welfare and failing to provide adequate and appropriate water.

Earlier this month, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee dropped his plan to implement stop-and-frisk policies in the city amid a roar of citizen opposition and outcry. As reported by The Bay Citizen, Lee previously expressed an interest in the tactic used in major cities such as New York and Philadelphia to help reduce gun violence and lower the crime rate.
The policy gives police the right to detain and pat down anyone they deem suspicious. However, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and community and civil rights advocates argue that the policy would result in racial profiling and increased tension ...Read More »

Preventing Tooth Decay in Young Children
Topic Overview
Tooth decay, called dental caries, is caused by bacteria eating away the outer protective layer (enamel) of a tooth. Help prevent tooth decay in young children by adopting the following healthy habits:
Normal amounts of fluoride added to public water supplies and bottled water are safe for children and adults. If your child needs extra fluoride, your dentist may recommend supplements. Use these supplements only as directed. And keep them out of reach of your child. Too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth.
When your child's first teeth come in, start cleaning them with a soft cloth or gauze pad. As more teeth come in, clean teeth with a soft toothbrush. Because too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth, ask your doctor or dentist if it's okay to use fluoride toothpaste. For more information, see the topic Brushing and Flossing a Child's Teeth.

News and notes on health, medicine and fitness
Tiny mayfly preserved in amber provides a snapshot of life 100 million years ago
The fluttering mayfly, driven by the urgency of a single day in which to live and procreate, landed on a glob of tree sap and, before she could lay her eggs, became trapped. One hundred million years passed before her fossilized remains were found in the Hukawng Valley of Burma, now known as Myanmar.
Today, lady mayfly's legacy is an article by an Oregon State University researcher in the journal Historical Biology, pointing out that she represents a new subfamily, genus and species of mayfly.
"Understanding the ecology and history of mayflies is important, in part, because they are one of the most important fish foods in the world," said George Poinar Jr., a professor of entomology at Oregon State and co-author of the new paper. "This is the first time we ever documented such long antennaeand an ovipositor in this order of insects."
An ovipositor is an egg-laying mechanism used by insects to place their eggs in a specific location. Mayflies today no longer have this mechanism.
Poinar named his find the genus Vetuformosa, Latin for "old and beautifully formed."

The Nephilim walk among us. Society and civilization have been ruled and manipulated by them since the "Fallen Ones" descended onto earth many centuries ago. Yeshua foretold in Matthew 24:37 "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be". Those days are upon us. We are in the end times and the end of an age is fast approaching. Know thy enemy.

This is great for my cats
posted 7 years ago
I really do like this product. My cats are flea free and no ear mites or hook or roundworms. They stay mainly outdoors, so I do have to have protection for them. Would highly recommend it, I am not really sure about long term use. Just like anything we put into our bodies, is it safe in the long run?
Pros: Really does protect from fleas,ticks,earmites and worms
Cons: Is expensive when you have more than one cat

Great product!

I used Revolution on my kitty that I adopted from the Humane Society. Upon our first vet visit I discovered she had ear mites and the vet recommended Revolution. It was very easy to apply, alot easier than putting medication in her ears. The mites cleared up right away and have not been back!
Pros: Very easy to apply
Cons: somewhat expensive

I've always just used Advantage on my 3 cats, but my vet recommended I try Revolution. For about 4 days after applying the product, my cats had appetite loss, were lethargic, and they lost their hair where I applied the Revolution. It may be just mine, but I think I will stick with Advantage.
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, fairly effective...
Cons: Cats had reactions to it.

Excellent Product
posted 7 years ago
This is great for cats but you need to be careful that the applicatoin is put on the proper place so that the cat cannot lick it. Always make sure other cats can't get to the medication once applied (my cats groom each other) But really worth the effort as it works wonderfully
Pros: Gets rid of fleas
Cons: need prescription
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
Did you?
This works
posted 6 years ago
Overall this stuff is pretty good for most of our cats. It keeps fleas away and also prevent internal parasites, including heartworms. It does seem more likely to cause skin irritation/hair loss than other preventatives but the benefits so far have outweighed the side effects.
Pros: works to keep fleas away
Cons: can cause minimal hair loss

The CIA tracked bin Laden to a five-year-old palace compound custom-built for bin Laden and protected by 12- to 18-foot walls topped by barbed wire, owned by two brothers in a rich suburb of Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, last September, senior Obama official told a group of us news people in a midnight conference call (Update: Click for a transcript from of the call.)
The suburb, Abbottabad, is home to retired Pakistani military officers, one official said, adding the mansion where bin Laden stayed was by far the biggest house in a neighborhood of comfortable homes.
Another official said suspected al Qaeda supporters detained by the US had told US authorities a courier they were tracking was working with bin Laden, but al Qaeda security made it tough to nail his location until last summer, when US officials figured the large size and extraordinary security at the compound made it likely bin Laden was there.
By February the CIA and other agencies felt they had enough information to plan an attack. Starting in March, the agencies began planning an attack, and the attack was authorized April 29.
A third official defended the attack, calling bin Laden a key figure in targeting the US as a target by supporters of his al Qaeda movement ten years after the 9/11 attacks. Some analysts have said he didn't appear to have direct control over today's Islamist terrorists but still served as an inspiration.

When times are darkest
All hope already lost
There shall come heroes
That fight at any cost
To right the wrongs
And fight for truth
They shall be brave
Cunning, and aloof
But their mission
Shall be cut short
Until the time comes
When one of the court
One of the moon
One of the trees
One of the sword
And one of the cheese
Shall come forth
And save the world

NaNo Prophecy by kuroinamiWatch
©2006-2016 kuroinami
Made ahead of time for Platinummyr as a part of a poetry trade, this is the prophecy that drives my story XD Hope you all get as much a kick out of reading it as I got out of writing it.
Lawlz... woww.... I was like. Reading this and thinking "ew boring... EWw.. it's one of those same-old prophecies..." and then suddenly I'm like "one of the... what now? ... cheese..? CHEESE?" and suddenly, you are a genius XD
Glad that I didn't dissapoint you. You should read the actual novel. You should get a kick out of that too
I love this!... What story is it for????
National Novel Writing Month. I would have finished then, but I fell asleep (had been up two days straight...)
LOVE IT!!! Thanks Kuro I am working on yours!!
Cool, and I'm glad you like it^^
It made me giggle..but then again alot of animes and various shows have little children as enemies. I mean...the younger the evil the scarier.
Yes, well, you've already seen her. Cana is the evil it was speaking of.
Rawr...ya know? She's not too evil.
I know, which is rather amusing when the heros finally meet her, because they are expecting her to be all evil overlord and stuff, and instead she invites them in to tea.
I knew there was a reason I loved you. This is awesome, and would make an awesome 'prologue' to your NaNo, like one of those prefacey things that they sometimes do at the beginnings of novels that aren't prefaces or prologues, just a quote or a poem after the dedication.
Hehe, glad you liked it, and yeah, I'll probably end up doing that, if only to up the word count

Mine would be:
Isabelle Aurora Grace "Bella"
Arianne Eleanor Kate "Ari"
Olivia Wren Camille "Liv/Olive"
Why? Why does anyone love the names they love? I would attempt to explain it but I cut my finger at work and the bandage is causing a ton of annoying typos. Mostly, they honor family, values I respect, composers and literary characters I love. And Isabelle, Arianne, and Olivia are that perfect blend of feminine sweetness that's not too frilly, but not too formal, either, and that would all look good on a resume. They're cute for little girls, but they're respectable for grown up women with grown up dreams.Ashley

To learn about the re-introduced Attorney Client Privilege Protection Act, click here.
The Costco case took a circuitous route through the courts. The appellate court summarily denied the writ of mandate. The California Supreme Court reversed and instructed the appellate court to look at the issue substantively. The appellate court reviewed the issue and then denied the writ, finding that Costco couldn't make the required showing of "irreparable harm" if it was ordered to turn over the redacted document. A second appeal to the California Supreme Court finally yielded Costco, and defense counsel everywhere, the relief they sought. The court ruled that the order for Costco to disclose even part of the memo was an error.
"The attorney-client privilege attaches to a confidential communication between the attorney and the client, and bars discovery of the communication irrespective of whether it includes unprivileged material," Judge Kathryn Werdegar wrote for the unanimous court. "It is the actual fact of the transmission [of documents,] which merits protection, since discovery of the transmission of specific public documents might very well reveal the transmitter's intended strategy."

I worked with Michael, who is a skilled mechanic. He got my car back on the road and provided excellent service. Terrill was extremely helpful as well. I highly recommend Emerson Street Automotive!ClassicCarFanAugust 29, 2015
Very nice Mechanics work at Emerson Street Automotive who go above and beyond to help solve your car issues. I had a check engine light issue on a car I just bought. I was told it was an Oxygen Sensor issue by the Seller. Lee did a diagnosis and popped the lid. He knew exactly what was wrong. Oil had been leaking from a faulty oil cap and had fouled up the plugs. He ordered a new cap and cleaned up the plug wires. I left the shop and the light came back on after 10 miles away so I came back. It was another plug misfiring this time. Further diagnosis found oil had gotten into the distributor and rather than replace it the previous owner did a quick fix to cover it up long enough to sell the car so another mechanic cleaned the distributor cap and recommended I get a new distributor. I drove away and this time the light came back on again after an even shorter distance. Lee did a another diagnosis and found it was misfiring again so he re-cleaned the plug wires. Even though we all figured it was going to come back on again because I needed a new part the car did run better when I went home. The guys did everything they could on their end to help me and could have done more if my budget allowed but I went home with more knowledge and a better running car so it was not a wasted trip. Even though I came back twice they did not charge me and a lot of other shops might have.GinaFloridaOctober 05, 2014
