It's all on Romney in the final stretch
It's Mitt Romney who has to shake things up if he is to change the election narrative and avoid defeat, writes Craig McMurtrie. But he shouldn't be underestimated in the debates.
Clint Eastwood trash-talking a piece of furniture, Bill Clinton burning up centre stage again: these are the indelible images of the 2012 party conventions.
But in the end, did they change anything?
Most viewers thought the ageing actor and his chair overshadowed Mitt Romney's acceptance speech in Tampa. Barack Obama had the same problem after Clinton soaked up the limelight in Charlotte, though at least Clinton didn't bring an invisible friend to the party.
The president was a shadow of his former oratorical self, offering a small target speech, grounded in the reality that his biggest opponent is a sour US economy.
Four years ago, Barack Obama shone in front of Greek columns in a packed football stadium - this time he was forced indoors because of bad weather, with less than a third of the crowd.
He still drew a bigger television audience than his Republican opponent. Overall viewing numbers were down on 2008, though social media interest in both political gabfests was up.
Following the conventions, the president's re-election campaign appears more energised, though neither camp has caused much of a ripple in the immovable surveys for months now.
At this point four years ago, McCain was surging on the back of a dazzling debut by Sarah Palin. It didn't last, of course.
The 2012 race is still close. Obama has an edge in the crucial swing states of Ohio and Virginia, while Romney has made up ground in Florida. Romney can outspend Obama now and is launching new ads in eight states, though interestingly Wisconsin and Michigan aren't included.
Those states had been on the original Romney wish list, but the path to the White House is narrowing. His advantage in the money stakes may also be less than it appears - the amount of airtime that can be bought in the key battlegrounds isn't limitless.
Besides, voters are already crying for mercy.
It's what Mitt Romney didn't do when Democrats were getting fired up at their Charlotte convention that tells us what really matters now in this race.
He hardly made any public appearances. Instead, he holed up at a friend's Vermont mansion and honed his debating skills. Ohio Republican senator Rob Portman channelled the president. He must be good at it; he reportedly played the same role for John McCain.
Unless outside events intervene, if the former Massachusetts governor is to break through and change the narrative of this race, the televised presidential debates in October now loom as his best and perhaps last chance.
He has already survived a Republican primary ultramarathon of 20 debates. Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich got under his skin at times, and he fought back in occasionally testy exchanges.
Those who assume Barack Obama will easily best his opponent when they finally meet on television are likely mistaken.
There are three presidential debates, on domestic and foreign policy, hosted by journalist moderators, and one with a town hall-style format. Why do they matter so much? They will almost certainly draw bigger television audiences than the conventions, and more undecided voters are likely to tune in.
There's also a rich history of debates providing defining moments in US campaigns.
In 1960, a young John Kennedy sparkled alongside a pale and edgy Richard Nixon; in 1976, Gerald Ford tangled himself up over foreign policy; four years later, Ronald Reagan asked Americans to consider if they were better off now than they were four years ago.
Reagan's attack is one the Romney campaign is reprising this campaign.
In 1984, the wily Reagan did it again. Dismissing concerns about his advancing years, he delivered a sly shot at Walter Mondale: "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience," he cracked.
Then there was the spectacular Dan Quayle put down by Lloyd Bentsen four years later in a vice-presidential debate. The glint-eyed Bentsen admonished the younger man for comparing himself to JFK: "I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." Quayle was left sulking under the spotlight.
And most recently, Texas governor Rick Perry melted down in a primary debate with his helpless "oops" moment, when he couldn't remember which federal agencies he'd cut. It was a train wreck. His shirt collar suddenly seemed a size or two too large.
Obama and Romney are too polished to offer easy openings, but there's no shortage of unsolicited advice for them both. Like this contribution from Obama debate study buddy senator John Kerry, chipping Romney's flip flopper reputation: "Before you debate Barack Obama on foreign policy, you better finish the debate with yourself," he jabbed.
Four years ago, the president won a point's decision over the more combative John McCain by staying cool and calm, traits Mitt Romney shares.
Both have their problems connecting with the disillusioned. For the Obama camp, they're disappointed 2008 supporters, while Team Romney still needs to convince that their candidate understands ordinary Americans and is willing to put distance between himself and unpopular congressional Republicans.
But Mitt Romney faces the bigger challenge when they meet in Denver for the first debate on October 3. He's the one who has to shake things up, because if the swing state polls are right and things stay the way they are now ...
... he loses.

All Mittens needed to do in the GOP debates was lay back and let the others do the work. He had no serious competition for the nomination, his only baggage at the time, with the audience that mattered, being his religion and his record as a liberal governor in Massachusetts. For all their bluster, the Republicans really are only ever about "what have you done for me lately", so flip-flopping on policy was sufficient to cover what would otherwise have been mistakes to the base. He's going to have to do better than Reaganesque quips against Obama. No wonder he holed up to practice.
Meanwhile, Obama is going to have to shut down the lies and obfuscations R-Money will be throwing around, hoping for mud to stick, or stick it will, although that's only ever going to be a problem with the voters looking for an excuse not to vote for the better candidate in the first place. A fair majority of them are probably already holding their noses and voting for the Republican anyway.
Paul Ryan should probably just stay home. His Ayn Rand math won't hold up against Biden.

Obama doubles US Fed Debt in 4 years from $8 Trillion to $16 Trillion. In another 4 years it would be $32 Trillion.
At some point not long from now, that blows the US economy and most of the rest of the world economy, up. Likely Romney will do no better, but to infer Obama is better ignores the facts.
10 Sep 2012 8:30:15pm
Pointless: anyone can do sums. Analysis of the truth is a different matter, and you just failed.
10 Sep 2012 10:27:12pm
Most of the deficit is down to the Republican Party - thats why they are so desperate to shift the blame.
They abolished the old rules brought in after the Crash of 29 and guess what the banks gave us the GFC of 08. Then there were the tax cuts for the rich, the Iraq war of Georgie Boy Bush and the incomplete Afghan war that has had to refought all over again.
10 Sep 2012 10:32:40pm
Yes, precisely. Obama's accrued debt is greater than all of Europe's debt combined. The Obama experiment - despite the warm fuzzy feeling of equality it left us all with - is a failed experiment.
10 Sep 2012 10:58:52pm
Funny how expensive Middle East wars can be
11 Sep 2012 5:41:38am
To infer that it was Obama who raised the debt conveniently ignoring it was all presided over by Bush, Romney offers nothing it's like watching the larger more docile version of Abbott, less taxes for the rich more tax for the lowest paid.
The trickle down ideology has and never will happen. The rubbish that people who are rich because they work harder needs to be shown for the falicy that it is.
There are plenty of people that work hard that will never be rich because the areas they work don't give that type of return yet they do their jobs for the benifet of all, nurses, police, the armed forces to name just a few if the rich need to pay more to ensure a decent standard of living then that's the way it should be. And when the people say I did it all on my own and I'm entitled to have it all see that also for the clouded view it is, none of us do it on our own we are able to do the things we do because others before us paid and built the way to allow us to achieve the things we do.

GC, in the USA it is Congress, not the president, that determines federal expenditure and sets federal taxes. And the deficit is nothing other than the difference between taxes and expenditures.

It is hard to see Obama losing this election.
Contrary to what you've said Obama did get a bounce and Romney didn't, that is very telling.
Obama's popularity went over 50% for the first time in donks and he now leads Romney by 5% points with around 6 undecided. That is not a unsurmountable lead but i9t is getting late in the game and over the next few weeks trends usually show themselves.
Romney will have to wipe the floor with Obama during the debates for it to matter and I don't think Romney has it in him. If there is one thing Obama can do it is talk.

The Yank, I agree that President Obama will win a second term
for a number of reasons. The main one being is Rommey has to
many things to many groups which the swing states will see through.
President Obama was left two unwinnable wars, one he ended and the
other he is withdrawing from by the end of 2014. After inheriting an
economy broken by greed, Rommey still wants to continue tax cuts to
the wealthy. Ohio which has a big automobile industry wil go to the
President as he saved that industry. When Rommey was governor in
Mass. he implemented a health policy like Obama's but now opposes
that policy. Also the media in America is far more balanced, the Murdoch
press and shock jocks are at Obama all the time but there is a more balanced
centre and left leaning media.

10 Sep 2012 9:22:38pm
Well as stated before I hope so. I don't believe that Romney is an evil person just one whose beliefs I don't come any where near holding.
Just like Mccain. Nice enough guy in his way but not a leader.
The funny thing is that both picked VP's that I would really not want near the handles of power.
11 Sep 2012 8:28:26am
McCain was never anyone's 'nice [enough] guy'. Both he and Romney represent a singular problem with the GOP field, as occurs in each cycle: it's about who's "turn" it is to run, that is, entitltements. The Republicans decry the "entitlement culture" of welfare, but when it comes to Presidential candidates, that's actually a lot of what drives the selection process. McCain was the nominee last time because it was his turn, over the upstarts Huckabee & Romney. This time it's Romney's turn - because Santorum, Perry, et al. didn't have the miles. (Nobody but Ron Paul had the tenure, really, but nobody was voting for Grandpa 'Get Off My Lawn'.) Romney's not a nice guy, either. Maybe not evil, but selfish, greedy, and 'due'.
10 Sep 2012 10:35:02pm
I agree. He will likely win it again. After all, the media are with him and he is a populists dream candidate.
And yes...Obama knows how to talk. In fact he hasn't stopped to take a breather in 4 years.
11 Sep 2012 3:45:48pm
You should stop stating what you want to happen, as opposed to the obvious reality of what is most likely to happen.
It is virtually all over.
When ABC journos like Craig Mc Murtrie suggest at this point of the campaign Mitt is close enough to win, they are really saying, Barak is behind the eight ball and he is the one being forced to play "catch-up".
On top of this Michael Moore comes out and says "we had all better get used to saying President Mitt Romney".
Not even blind Freddy would seriously suggest it is hard to see Obama losing in light of these facts of evidence.
I have zero interest in who wins this parody of a democratic contest, converted to an exercise of who can spend the most money.
I will though take your money if you wish to wager basing your logic on sentimental bias.
Just to show I am fair I will point out that the Pres election has been won for some time now, 100% of the time, by the biggest spender; Mitt by all accounts is going to be the biggest spender.

Yep ... he loses.
Too rich and how he got so, Mormon, exported jobs, too easy to hit.
The American people will be most disappointed with Obama but not enough to put this guy into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Nothing is certain, of course but Obama would have to have a brain melt down to lose to this guy. Americans would love nothing better that to kick this Prez out but there is none they'd trust in his place as of now.

The vibe i am getting is that the yanks feel they are caught between a candidate who has demonstrated he can't fix their current problems, and a candidate who is representative of those who caused the problems in the first place. Notice how every setence Obama says now has "middle class" worked into it.

Romney's big problem in his debates against Obama is that he'll have to make his own arguments and can't get his wife to do it for him.
The man's a wet fish and there's no way he's going to be able to out debate Obama.
That's why the GOP is working so hard to disenfranchise Democrat voters. It's their last gasp.
Mitt's campaign team even know it's over, they just stopped all advertising in Michigan after Obama pulled to a 4.7% lead in the polls. That's Romney's home state for anyone playing at home.
David Nicholas:
10 Sep 2012 5:28:07pm
Actually, Craig, it's not the debates but the first debate. It's estimated that 60 million will be watching the first one on October 3rd to get the measure of the two men side by side.
If he does not stand out and decisively win the first debate the rest matter little. The opinion voters already have about this Mr. Romney is pretty much settled and it's not flattering.
He needs to be exceptional on October 3rd and given his public performances so far I don't hold out much hope that he will be.
The line he can never beat from Mr. Obama is: "I am the President" and all that the line entails. That line got heads nodding in Mr. Obama's speech at the Democratic Convention and from my sources that line has made a big difference to those who saw the President speak.
So it will go.

President Obama was left two unwinnable wars, an economy destoryed by
greed from the big end of town and a eleven trillion debt. The President halted
a depression and had the economy growing until the tea party hijacked the
republican party. This process has been devivise and blocking many good
reforms is the way the tea party play the game.

Alf, your comment is one of the reasons why the President will win
a second term. Where it be here or in America the right just throw
abuse about, can't debate the facts which says a lot about their politics.
Every major economic and social reform in the last forty years was done
by Labor except the GST which is just a tax on the low class.
11 Sep 2012 12:33:10am
Are you an American, Alf? Because I can't imagine any Australian observers venturing to call Obama a socialist. On economic policy, even Tony Abbott is probably to Obama's left.
11 Sep 2012 8:29:36am
Yes, the Democrats in the US are probably on about par with the Coalition in Australia. There is no analogous right-wing party like the Republicans in Australia. The Labor-Green aliance would be considered rank commies in the US. (mind you, with the likes of some of the Green Senators that is probably a fair description).
11 Sep 2012 11:30:28am
Parts of the Coalition would be regarded the same way - even the Coalition wouldn't dare raise a hand to Medicare (Socialised Medicine!!!) and the Coalition at least pretends to acknowledge the reality of climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse emissions.

It really doesn't matter a hoot who the next President, or indeed, who the next congress is, there will be no difference.
The USA populace is still dreaming of its glory days, Detroit et all, and somehow hoping to return to them. It seems that they are incapable of facing a new global dynamic wherein they no longer call the tune.
It really is ironic in the extreme that the concept that the USA initiated, free global trade, is the very same thing that is bringing them undone.
Outsourcing and offshoring. And yet they still don't get it.
10 Sep 2012 10:42:21pm
I agree they are a spent force, but for different reasons. America no longer has Christianity to cement its social fabric. In fact, China increasingly is seen as a centre for growth of religious faith and may outgrow America. Interestingly, American society is now so fractured and polarized politically and it seems unlikely to recover from this development. I suppose the real shame of it is that the first black President will be seen as overseeing the decline of the greatest superpower on earth. I am not convinced this will do anything for the already poor state of race relations in that country.
11 Sep 2012 8:26:11am
Interesting to hear someone state that America is not Christian enough. I thought it was common knowledge that America is by far the most religious western nation...
10 Sep 2012 5:57:24pm
Fortunately, both parties appear to have strong candidates. Both could lead America well. I wonder whether America is in a better position with its two Presidential candidates than Australia is with its two Prime Ministerial candidates.

My thoughts exactly. Either of these guys will be OK and fairly safe. For all the nutters in the GOP currently, they managed to get their act together and put up a reasonable and sensible candidate. Shame our Liberals can't do the same.
10 Sep 2012 11:42:48pm
Romney better than Gillard?? Yes, Abbott - of course and poor old Barnaby and some of their merry mates; but not many other Australian politicians given all his Tea Party, fundamentalist Christian, big business, radical gun advocates, etc, etc baggage. Oh, and Clint Eastwood!
10 Sep 2012 6:03:02pm
It would interesting (although unlikely) if Romney comes out with his perspective on foreign relationships, particularly with respect to China, Pakistan and Iran.
It would be good to know if this man is going to take the US into wars with these nuclear (and close to nuclear) nations.
11 Sep 2012 8:47:41am
There is going to be trouble over Iran whoever becomes President, but I suspect Romney will have less patience for sanctions than Obama.
10 Sep 2012 6:04:18pm
Craig, it seems the Republicans have egg on their face for neither Romney nor his running mate Ryan were capable of explaining their policies and costings and according to reports 'couldn't answer questions about how they'd pay for $US5 trillion in new tax cuts and $US2 trillion in new defence spending without raising taxes on the middle class'. No wonder God is on Obama's side.

From an outside perspective Obama showed a lot of promise in 08 but got caught up in his own rainbows and kittens, we are the world message being flogged at every turn. Stoic should not be ordained on a candidate prior to the pudding and the proof. To inherit such a mess and to walk in to hostilities and hold your head high it would seem you have to be a good leader on your own merits. I hope Obama gets a second term and slighty more elbow room to show his people and the world what he can do when not entirely crippled by ghosts of christmas past. Judging by the photo alone, it appears Romney eats babies but should be decent at spouting rubbish to uninterested parties given that he's a former door knocking missionary.

I am glad that the race is close and that both candidates are impressive. Good democracy needs strong alternative candidates.
10 Sep 2012 8:16:57pm
Students of USA history know that the elected leader can only do a little of what is said as policy and promises. Other leaders still run banks, divisions, firms, companies, offices and commissions. Obama might find it hard to get a hotel room, a haircut, a hamburger, especially in some parts of the south. The republican candidates, inadequate misfits as they are, can get away with well publicised extreme statements through friendly media, well before the real bill will come in. Everyone should revise well known lists of presidential rankings; republicans do badly apart from Lincoln. There is little idealism or vision from republicans. One exeption was Eisenhower, a hard working moderate war hero with compulsory attention grabbing cold war details to assess and face. Another was T Roosevelt, an individual of inexplicable complexities and amazing zest. The greats remain, as always, Washington, Lincoln and FDR, because of the efforts and skills used in facing huge challenges. Obama has not shown much voteworthiness for greatness yet; Romney shows little ability to do more than run business situations for personal gain and the ruin of others who lose jobs, by his attitudes. If honesty ever gets a chance in USA politics, unimaginable, Obama'
s policies, supported by congress and courts, by cabinet, media, and the people, could get the country going better. Who is Ryan? You could mould a better candidate out of wet sand.
10 Sep 2012 8:20:46pm
I understand that reporters and politicians would be interested in who the contestants in a foreign land are.
What I dont understand is why anyone but americans care about the pre election - that is nothing has actually happened and wont for some time.
This constant barrage of the study of a foreign political system, must surely be because there is nothing important in Australia for Australian reporters and students of politics to be interested in.
I can only summise that planning should start on Australian policy in case of a change of government in the US; this point would be mute if the current government is returned.
I would be interested to know how much time should be spent planning on an unknown that might not happen.
Seems that reporting on American pre selections is interesting to reporters, in the same way that many Australians watch and talk about reality TV, it is pure fake mindless entertainment, something to pass the time till something happens.
Anyone with the slightest interest in US pre selection has hundreds of sources available to read and access,so why clog the dial with more?
When the election in a foreign land has finished, the result known - then report something that has happened.
10 Sep 2012 8:34:32pm
Obama has done for black politicians in the US what Gillard has done for female politicians in Australia - ruined their credibility for good.

Gee ALF, you'll have real problems if Condaleeza Rice runs in four years time.
10 Sep 2012 8:50:27pm
I, am afraid that Romney has to many skeletons in the closet. Bain Corp, Overseas tax havens, failure to supply tax returns. Also the fact that neither he, his three sons, his father, or his grandfather have never been inducted into the US military. When his time came up to do his time in the service, he got out of it by going to France to preach the Mormon gospel. I dont think that the American voters will accept his background.
10 Sep 2012 9:07:07pm
The Mittbot, a human shaped entity, couldn't win a debate with himself, assuming that such a 'person' exists. His only discernible policy is to have his jawline elected president though his hair is the only part of him qualified for the role.
Perhaps BO, in a 2nd term with nothing to lose, will stop trying to find bipartisan support with TeaBaggers and the scrag end of the GOP. Like our PM, just go for true reform and policies supported by those who elect you, it's called a mandate, and in our case, it might even make Labor competitive rather than a walking corpse.
10 Sep 2012 9:49:59pm
It's a pity Gary Johnson doesn't have a chance. Fiscally conservative, socially liberal, and can balance a budget.
Given how the Republican Party screwed Ron Paul and his supporters, I expect many of them will vote for Johnson, further decreasing Romney's chances. One can hope, anyway.
11 Sep 2012 12:44:58am
Interesting that the article and the commenters didn't mention one of the big issues that may have an impact on the election. Republican governers, voted into office in the 2010 midterms with the support of the Tea Party, have been legislating to take away women's rights as they relate to reproductive decision making. Laws to curb abortion, and limit access even in the case of rape and incest have skyrocketed, and even birth control access has been affected under personhood amendments. Romneys pick for VP sponsored the federal "personhood" bill and Romney has done little to dispel fears as he has announced he will work to overturn Roe v Wade. Given he will be picking replacements for the SCOTUS if he wins repeal would be possible.
So over 50% of the population, if they are exposed to what the Republican platform is, will be deciding who to vote for and given more than 90% of women use birth control, and I suspect many men are happy they do, I think women may decide this election. I hope it is a topic raised in the debates.

As far as I know Romney didn't get any, so I'm guessing that Obama is safe for now.

An observer:

Anybody who can think for him/herself would undoubtedly remember the last Republican president in the Whitehouse.
It's impossible to forget George W. Bush and his ...legacy.
It is now well accepted that the W. Bush administration, from 2000 to 2008, was accidentally the most destructive force to the US economy in its history to date. In the process, it significantly weakened the strategic position of the US as a superpower.
W. Bush administration's foreign policy resulted in the mountain of debts, exacerbated by the GFC which stems from the collapse of banking and finance sector in the US. The fundamental cause of all this was started by the loosening banking controls by US Federal Reserve?s policy. It was done as an effort to support the supply side of the economy as it was sucked dry from the phantom WMD-triggered war. It's interesting to note that the former Soviet Union tried but failed to bring down the capitalist system of the West headed by the US during the Cold War. Had the Soviet Union survived, they would have bestowed the title of hero of the Soviet Union on George W. Bush. Although accidentally.
The US currently owes the world some US$15 trillion. Most of the last 6 trillion was attributable to W. Bush administration's policies. Joseph Stiglitz, former vice-president of the World Bank and a Nobel laureate, estimated the Iraq and Afghanistan war to cost US$3 trillion dollars. Latest estimate puts it close to US$4 trillion.
In the absence of Obama's Keneysian aproach, the otherwise state of play of the US economy and the rest of the world would have made the 1930s Depression no more than a MINOR market adjustment.
Tell-tale sign? The GOP is so convinced of its 'superior' capability to return to its strategic powerful position (i.e. prior to W.Bush taking office), that they quietly disown W.Bush so as not to remind US voters. Mind you, defence of W. Bush by his brother is no more than blood being thicker than water.
That W.Bush was able to do what he did because the majority of voters let him and his conservative forces do it. To be fair to these voters though. It's hard for them to reason in the face of being scared sh*t out of the terrible consequences of WMDs and the likes as presented to them by W. Bush administration.
They simply let the threat overcome their senses.
Scaring voters into supporting a party's policy is no different from the threat of eternal damnation in hell to keep believers subservient to the masters. Whoever that may be.

The widespread acceptance of the WMD scare illustrates the gullibility of the general public, their inability to analyse what is going on and how easily they are manipulated by a compliant media. It was obvious at least 10 months out from the invasion that GWB was going to invade, and that he was going to use WMD as the excuse. As time went by repeated UN inspections were unable to find anything, but Bush and the compliant media got more and more shrill and accusative in pursuing their objectives - it became more and more obvious what was happening -- a trumped up case with no evidence. After about 6 months of this, I concluded that no WMDs would ever be found, but that GWB would still invade.
11 Sep 2012 12:16:26pm
So, let's try to get this right: The American people are asked to reject Obama because he was unable, in 4 years, to fully recover the country from the damage that developed over a few decades of mainly Republican presidencies and reached crisis point during the 8 years of the GW Bush presidency (the GFC, remember)? And, they are asked to vote for Mitt Romney who was (and still is) part of the establishment that caused the whole mess in the first place, and expect that he will fix things up... presumably "painlessly"?
Walt Disney would be already preparing the script for a new "Fantasia" film based on this.... or perhaps Steve Spielberg: "E.N.: the World of Extra-Naive".

Not only that, but the Republicans (through Ryan) have actually promised more of the failed tax cutting policies that brought the economy to this position in the first place. Only people who have access to the magic money tree can pay off debt with lower income. Still, 46% of Americans believe in Creationism over evolution, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
11 Sep 2012 12:27:40pm
How Romney can run on his "successful business career" is beyond me. Failed investments are rife, productive companies were stripped bare, and many assets were bought using themselves as collateral. Romney represents some of the worst of Wall St, taking away productive businesses for cash and then wondering why America no longer has a vaible manufacturing industry. Not only that, but he has many times stated that he felt that businesses should "bend the tax laws to breaking point," inferring that the responsibility of a business to realise obscene windfalls supercedes their responsibility to follow legal framework.
Finally, we have the ultimate paradox, a man who whilst running on his net worth refuses to show the voters how much he paid in tax.

And you're not covering the story about the Republican Party trying to have Gary Johnson (I'm not a supporter of anyone running) removed from the ballot as the Libertarian candidate? Two-party dictatorship.
Awesome, let's sit back and debate about voting for the lesser of two evils!

A look that positively glows! Gleaming chrome silver finish frame and strands of crystal bobeches, chains and pendants provide plenty of sparkle.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I bought this chandelier for my bathroom. It is perfect for my 10 foot ceiling and provides so much light and sparkle to the room. I absolutely love it and it was a great price!
I had mine professionlay installed by a Lamps Plus Electrician. My only cons are that the original crystals were cloudy and not clear. Had to request replacements. Customer service at Lamps plus and the manufacturer provided great service in getting replacement crystals. I will continue to order again. The Chandelier is just beautiful.Images/Videos shared by: Okiebandit
Love it! We purchased and had it installed with a dimer and it looks just great and gives off a nice light whether high or low light. Easy to put together and very decorative.
Bought this beautiful chandelier on Black Friday for my closet. I am designing a closet to rival the stars & this chandelier couldn't be a better fit. Gorgeous & tons of light!Images/Videos shared by: JJK
I love it!
Love this chandelier!! Purchased for our Master Bedroom to go with the mirror night stands I bought through Lamps Plus!! All quality products at a good price!! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to the time it took to assemble it!!
We hung the Vienna Chandelier over our Master Tub and included a dimmer switch. Dim the light for the right mood, also plenty of light when you need it.
I wanted a beautiful crystal chandelier to finish out the master bathroom in our house. We got this chandelier for a great deal during a Lamps Plus sale and it was perfect. While a little time intensive to put together, the finished product is elegant and classy. Much more so than it looks in the picture online. The only con is that you have to hang the crystals just right, or they tend to kink up a bit. My husband accidentally swung his towel in the air one day and knocked a few of them askew, and I had to get the ladder out to make them hang flat again. But overall I highly recommend.
This chandelier is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures do not do it justice. Purchased this during the summer sale so it made it even better and a much easier decision at the great LampsPlus price. Easy to hang and electrically install but takes some time to hang all the crystals so be prepared. Looks great with a ceiling medallion to really showcase the light and the room.
This chandelier is much more beautiful in person. It's elegant, modern, and stylish for any room.Images/Videos shared by: marti1023
More beautiful than the picture!
The only con was it took alot of attention to detail to put it together. Instructions were not perfect but the result is absolutely fabulous! We have six 40 watt lights and the light on this chandlier is very bright. Luckily we have a dimmer on the switch and can tone it down abit. Really a good buy for the money!
It's bright and shinny!

MA/MSc in Environmental Anthropology
Interdisciplinary study into how societies are influenced by the environment & how they manage natural resources and hazards.
The Masters programme in Environmental Anthropology aims to offer you the opportunity to acquire advanced knowledge of how different societies are influenced by the environment and manage natural resources and hazards, in relation to issues in human ecology, biodiversity management, sustainable development, environmental change and the practical applications of such knowledge.
The aims include ensuring that as a graduate you will have a range of both practical and evaluative skills, and experience of conducting empirical or other applied research, to allow you to pursue work as a researcher or to inform whatever position you take up in the future.
It is expected that such work might be undertaken in conjunction with a range of organisations including national or international environmental bodies, governmental departments, and non-governmental organisations.
Our Anthropology research degree allows you to specialise in Environmental Anthropology. Doctoral degrees usually require three to four years of preparation, fieldwork and writing. Research students often forge independent linkages with overseas institutions, while many work with the numerous research fellows and staff in several research centres in the department, particularly the new Centre for Biocultural Diversity, and with our various partners, such as the Institute for Ecology in Bandung, Indonesia, the Centre for International Forestry Research in Indonesia, the Global Diversity Foundation.
Course Structure
The programme is taken over one year full-time, two years part-time. In each academic year there are three terms. Teaching for coursework takes place in the first and second terms. During the third term and the summer period students prepare their dissertation on a topic that reflects their own individual interests and experience. (Please note: All module offerings are subject to change and availability is not guaranteed)
Features of the programme
We follow an experiential and interactive learning method. We continue to experiment with ways of lecturing, running seminars and workshops, writing exams, designing assignments, supervising students, and evaluating essays and theses, to ensure that students learn by doing and so internalise substantive knowledge as well as the methods used by environmental anthropologists.
A typical student will take assessed modules in Environmental Anthropology, Ethnobiological Knowledge Systems, Contemporary Ethnography, Social Anthropology and Research Methods. These modules involve a combination of lectures, seminar discussions and practical laboratories. Additionally students may opt to audit modules taught in DICE (the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology) on conservation biology, nature and tourism and the international wildlife trade.
There are also informal workshop series in Practical Methods in Conservation Social Science (jointly held with DICE), cultural domain analysis, research design, and computer applications. There are also field trips to various gardens, zoos and museums in the Kent area, such as the Powell-Cotton Museum, Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, the Eden Project, the Brogdale National Fruit collection and the Aviary at Leeds Castle.
Often taking time throughout the whole course to prepare for and carry out, the dissertation project is the culmination of the programme. Students often apply for funding from outside bodies and receive support from the department for overseas studies. They prepare proposals, practice methods, arrange for permits and letters of consent, and often take language classes to prepare for roughly 8 weeks of research between April and July 1st. They then write a 15,000 word dissertation that goes beyond a simple research report to argue a theoretical point and discuss research findings in much wider contexts. Increasingly, students are going on to publish edited versions of these projects, and are making substantive contributions to the research, development or conservation projects they work with.

------RETRIVING PRIVATE VID LOG OF SENATOR KENNETH AOZNOL: LOG #53: SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO NETADRESS:S93C17H379-----Mature
Senator Kenneth Aoznol sits at his desk, drumming his fingers, whilst tapping his chin in thought. His gaze was fixed offscreen, perhaps toward some interesting vista scape unavailable to the camera view. His face seemed only serene, and though the rosy youthful brown face of a middle-age man hadn't returned to its former glory, there was at least some flush of colour. He drummed a few more times before suddenly stopping.
"I found the bastard. Well, bastards…and in the LAST place I'd really want them."
Aoznol flicked the thought with a wave of the hand and faced the camera pick up.
"The bastards in question appear to be two of Intrepid's initial investigative recon patrol, listened as K.I.A. But they got out; damn they managed to get out!"
He let a smile edge onto his face and a chuckle roll across him boisterously, as he tried to settle down to continue his log.
"To think that this entire time they went scurrying from a pack of wolves, to a den of hyenas…its damn near brilliant. I'll have to keep that in mind if anything."
The Senator let the smile fade, and his face took on a more serious edge, eyes fixed to the screen as if they were somehow radars for telepathic homing missiles.
"I found them and it's a start, but I need more help. I need YOUR help, and I trust you and only you. I know this is going to be tough concerning the circumstances, but this has to be done. The UEE government is damn near two steps from hell, and we're already in shambles. WE need to figure out what's really going on, and I can only do so much digging from here. You already know that, you were part of the bureaucracy once and you know that things have to be done; any means necessary."
Aoznol typed at a few keys and data screens of all sort appeared. A database profile of a known criminal, Janty, appeared and a wealth of information flooded the screens about him.
"I want you to contact this man; Janty. And I want you to send him a personal message from myself along with a copy of this datapacket. Tell him: Despite what he thinks, he's not as off the grid as he thinks, but if he wishes to be so truly…"
Senator Aoznol's face suddenly flushed with more colour and he edged a little closer to the screen. A quite charming smile spread onto his face, but the dark pools of brown, seemed to have become far more dark and took on an eldritch chill.
"If he wishes to be so truly, he will do a simple task in new hiring."
The data popups all disappeared and only the dark charmed filled smile of the politico was all that remained.
"Good luck kiddo. End Transmission."
The video erupted on, with a gargle of static and distortion. A few seconds pass, before the picture cleared and a figure with cyber-helmet is revealed on the screen. Only the lower portion of the face is barely visible, as it's not covered by the helmet and the voice seemed disembodied and heavily distorted.
"With a Black Wing, there is only Dawnfire as the sun sets on an Edge of Serenity."
The figure paused, and a barely audible click was heard as the transmission commenced encoding, decoding, scrambling, distortion, and a number of other methods to lower its risk for detection and interception. A few seconds letter, the figure spoke.
"Your request has been granted. Janty was not hard pressed to deny what you ask, but he made it very clear and I quote: "The day will come, when the debt will be paid in return and in full." The targets have been contracted to work for Janty for over several weeks now and shows no knowledge of the events in the dispatch you've given me. Both targets have been identified, as one Jack Reynolds, and his former wingman and now pilot Angel; last name unknown. However, upon further investigation, what you've initially sent appears to be correct. They are indeed the two traitors proclaimed K.I.A and somehow involved in the "Intrepid Report." They've managed to get a vessel named Astral Queen and a female engineer; I'm currently doing a check on. At the moment, they are effectively under the protection of Janty, so I surmise to be no interference from any UEE forces. Until you deem it otherwise necessary, I will continue to shadow them, and report back any findings. Senator, I trust will take care of yourself."
The video feed faded into distortion and static garbage before going blank.

Phones, phones, phones. That's the mantra of Mobile World Congress, the smartphone industry event of the year where the world's top manufacturers gather in Barcelona, Spain to showcase their latest products. The show just wrapped up, and this is our look at what stood out as the best hardware at the expo.
This year, every brand has an improved flagship handset made with improved components and finer materials like aluminum and sapphire glass. Prices are getting lower too, bringing these premium features to more affordable devices.
While the main focus is still on traditional handsets, lots of the cool gadgets announced here aren't phones at all. Technology is being shaped around our wrists: fitness trackers, smartbands, and smartwatches are still in abundance. It's been a year since the explosion of Android watches, and we're still trying to figure out what the next big thing will be. Maybe we'll learn a little more in a few days with the Apple Watch event.
Meanwhile, we're happy with most of the things we've seen here. Have a look at our photo gallery to see a selection of the best phones, watches, and mobile gadgets.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The Emirates has rarely been a happy hunting ground for Rovers and that proved to be the case once again on a disappointing afternoon in London.Rovers had shipped 18 goals on their previous 5 league visits to the home of Arsenal and by full time that record was increased to 25 from 6 after a 7-1 loss.Robin van Persie set the tone when he struck inside ninety seconds from close-range, and although Morten Gamst Pedersen levelled with a superbly taken free-kick, van Persie grabbed his second with a carbon copy of his first.By the break Rovers found themselves 3-1 down and a man down. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scoring before Gael Givet was given a straight red for his lunge on van Persie.The second half wasn't any better for the Lancashire side. Mikel Arteta added a fourth firing through a crowded area before Oxlade-Chamberlain finished off a fine move involving Theo Walcott.Robin van Persie has a fine record against Rovers and his hat-trick goal came soon after, the Dutchman having time and space to fire home after good work from Francis Coquelin.The seventh and final goal summed up the miserable afternoon for Rovers, losing possession before van Persie teed up Thierry Henry to complete the rout.
Steve Kean kept faith with the same eleven that performed well without reward against Newcastle United at Ewood Park on Wednesday night, resisting the temptation to give debuts to deadline day signings Bradley Orr and Marcus Olsson.
Whilst Orr made the substitutes bench, there was no place amongst the 18 for Marcus Olsson.
When the two sides met at the Emirates last April Rovers put in a superb display to hold Arsenal to a goalless draw with ten men. On this occasion parity lasted less than 90 seconds in a disaster of a start for the side in yellow which set the tone for the remainder of the game.
There appeared to be little danger as the Gunners made their first foray forward, but when Radosav Petrovic's clearance found makeshift full back Francis Coquelin that all changed. In a flash the ball was worked outside to Theo Walcott and he squared the ball across the six yard box for Robin van Persie to tap home.
It was as easy a goal as the Dutchman will have scored all season, it meant Paul Robinson's first act of the match was to pick the ball out of his own net.
Stunned by the early goal, Rovers struggled to gain any momentum and aside from a sweeping move that almost saw Anthony Modeste get on the end of a Morten Gamst Pedersen cross, it was the home side who dominated proceedings.
Tomas Rosicky saw a shot deflected wide off a diving David Dunn, then after pressure from a corner kick Laurent Koscielny found the roof of the net with a header. A supremely confident Robin van Persie then put an audacious lob just wide of Robinson's goal.
But on 32 it was the home side's turn to be stunned. Modeste had proved to be a real handful for Koscielny in winning a foul 20 yards out. Morten Gamst Pedersen stepped up and hit a sweet free-kick, the Norwegian's strike finding the top corner of the net despite Wojciech Szczesny getting fingertips to the ball.
Could Rovers rally and earn their first double of the season? Unfortunately the following ten minutes couldn't have gone any worse for Steve Kean's side.
Firstly Jason Lowe had to be replaced after injuring an ankle in a poor challenge from Rosicky, Bradley Orr coming on to replace for his debut.
Then Arsenal regained the lead with a goal akin to the first, Alex Song feeding Walcott and again he squared to van Persie to tap home his second of the game.
Two minutes later and Arsenal had daylight, Oxlade-Chamberlain scoring after van Persie had played the youngster in with a sublime through-ball that dissected the Rovers defence.
Then just as you thought things couldn't get any worse Rovers were reduced to ten men. Gael Givet stupidly flying into Robin van Persie with a two-footed challenge leaving referee Andre Marriner with no choice but to show a red card to the Rovers defender.
David Dunn was sacrificed as Grant Hanley was introduced to fill the gap left by Givet's red card.
The first half ended badly for Rovers and the second half started in the same manner with the home side adding three further goals in 15 minutes after the restart.
By 51 minutes the score was 4-1, Mikel Arteta firing through the crowded box after a corner had only partially cleared, before the Rovers defence watched on as Theo Walcott danced his way along the edge of the area to find Oxlade-Chamberlain who added his second of the game.
Goal number six for the Gunners was added just past the hour mark, again the goal came down Arsenal's right, Francis Coquelin having time and space to pick out Robin van Persie who needed no second invitation to grab his third of the game. Unlike his first two he was a little further out on this occasion, but was still afforded too much space to lash home from the penalty spot.
With the game wrapped up with more than 20 minutes to go, Arsenal were able to introduce Thierry Henry and Bacary Sagna as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Laurent Koscielny made way. Yossi Benayoun also introduced for Alex Song.
For Rovers it was a case of damage limitation, Anthony Modeste working hard up front with Morten Gamst Pedersen doing his best to support, but they rarely got out of their own half, let alone sight of the Arsenal goal.
The only surprise was that a seventh goal didn't arrive until added time, but again it was symptomatic of the way Rovers' day had gone, a square pass across the back line saw Thierry Henry capitalise and he found van Persie who squared it back to the Frenchman to apply the finishing touch.
It was a miserable way to end a miserable display and one that they'll need to get out of their system quickly when they face Queens Park Rangers at Ewood Park next Saturday.

Remember Tom Packer, the guy that wanted to crowdfund dates with women because he couldn't afford it? Well he now has a sworn enemy.
His name is Phil Stewart, and he also has a Indiegogo campaign running. His aim? Ruin Tom's dates with an accordion.
Hi I'm Phil. And there is a guy called Tom who is raising £1,300 for 13 dates. I want to ruin them.
So basically, Phil wants £1300 to follow Tom around on his dates playing an accordion that he can't actually play. This doesn't even make me mad.
Although it IS a prime example of how crowdfunding is getting ridiculous, if people want to give their money for outrageous causes like this, then that's up to them. Money is being spent in worse ways all over the world.
Phil signs off on his campaign by saying he'll arrange a piss up for all donators, if his target isn't met.
If I do not manage to complete the task I will dutifully organise a piss up in London for all donators. I hope that we can get together to say goodbye to what's left of society and meet some nice people along the way.
Yeah you better had mate. I might even start my own crowdfund in order to follow Phil around with bagpipes in an attempt to ruin his accordion playing while he's trying to ruin Tom's dates.
That will be a sight.

Life Without Air Conditioning
During this heat wave, many of us are thankful for our air conditioning, despite the power costs. We're talking about the problems with our reliance on A/C and about some of the cultural changes that go with shutting ourselves indoors. We want to know from you, What would your life be like without air conditioning? Would you leave your house more? Interact with more people?
Stan Cox is author of "Losing Our Cool: Uncomfortable Truths About Our Air-Conditioned World (and Finding New Ways to Get Through the Summer)."
He joins us with a look at how air conditioning has changed the way we live in America.
And 71-year-old Sarah Edwards remembers the days before air conditioning. She was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and says she misses sitting outside with the neighbors drinking iced tea on hot summer days.
Comments on Facebook:
"Unfortunately, the air conditioning only makes the heat wave worse. Coal-fired electric plants feed all that cooling. Believe it or not there are those of us alive who remember when there was no air conditioning." —Richard Carlson
"Hot, smelly and irritable." —Tyrone Thorpe
"All I can say is thank god to the one who invented the 24 hour no show deodorant." —Suzanne Joblonski-Philip
"Not any different then it was when I was growing up. Turn on a fan, or find a shady tree and drink lots of water. We, as a nation, are spoiled beyond belief." —Rusty Roy
"Um. we don't have AC — so we drink fluids, move slowly, have a few ceiling fans going, endure. Sure makes a fudgesicle a reward." —Jo Papa Kenney

Submitted by countyroadmusic on Sat, 2007-05-05 13:53.
This is from a song that is in my not finished pile.
Dear Jesus, I don't mean to complain,
All around me there is so much pain.
So much of it goes on in your name,
Dear Jesus, won't you explain?
God gave you soil and God gave you seed -
Yet so many starve - so many in need!
Dear children, won't you explain?
I have music for this - but this is as far as I have gotten with the words. Any co-authors in the house? Feel free to add to this lyrics if you feel moved to do so.
God bless...steve

Date of Stay: March, 2016
Price reflects monthly rate. Our pull-thru site was long and spacious. However, after dumping air down to about 40-50 lbs and leveling, it caused the first step to be well off the ground requiring an additional step. The interior road was very rough and need potholes repaired. There are many long term rigs here and some don't keep their areas neat and orderly. In spite of Hwy 71 being very close, road noise was not bad. Office staff was polite and professional.
Date of Stay: March, 2016
Previous comments accurately describe this RV park. Site was semi-level and all utilities work. Very quite at night. Ok for overnight stop.
Date of Stay: April, 2015
Rate based on one week stay. Management was friendly and efficient and all utilities worked flawlessly. Some pull through sites have concrete pads. Road noise was minimal. Interior roads in need of pot holes filled/graded. Grass in the common area around the office was mowed but, the sites were left in dire need of mowing. If stopping on the east side of Austin, we might stay here again.
Date of Stay: April, 2015
We concur with the previous comment. The site was long enough to not have to unhook the toad and very wide. The pergola and wooden lawn chairs were a nice touch and pleasant surprise. Management was very pleasant, efficient and helpful. We were warned about the water pressure being a little high but had a regulator, so no problem. This is a great park and will stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: November, 2014
Sites are long and wide but our site (H8) need more than usual leveling front to back. Road/train noise was not an issue. Basically, this is a huge gravel parking lot with only ESW. Park is clean but dusty so drive slow. Management friendly, helpful, and efficient. It is conveniently located behind Camping World and a Pilot/Flying J is nearby. This park is/was scheduled to become a KOA 12/01/14. When this happens, I suspect the price will go up substantially. Depending on price, I might stay here again when passing through.
Date of Stay: November, 2014
Easy on/off I-40. There was some highway/train noise but tolerable. Site was level but a little tight. Utilities were no problem. This was our third time staying here and it is a good overnight stop.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
Price reflects Good Sam discount. Check-in was speedy even with many rigs lined up to get into the park. Staff was efficient and professional. Asphalt roads and level, concrete sites with patio and pea gravel between sites. Utilities were good; water pressure seemed high so used regulator. WiFi worked great. When passing through, would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
Rate (then add tax) reflects price advertised on a billboard before reaching the park. Make sure you ask for the "billboard" price. Park is barren but clean. Roads and sites were gravel but close to level. Area between sites was crushed gravel but full of goatheads, so watch your dogs. Utilities were good but water pressure seemed a little high so used a regulator. WiFi was great. They have water & electric locked so they give you a key. If you do not return the key when you leave, they will charge you an extra $10.00 on your credit card. Staff was pleasant and professional. Next time through would probably stay in Albuquerque.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
Price reflects Passport America. All utilities were good. Roadway and parking sites were hardtop; close to level. A picnic table sat on crushed rock. Very handy to Grand Canyon train trip and doggie daycare was great. Didn't use cable but WiFi was good. The staff was efficient, professional, and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Stayed here three nights. Park is near the town and a great base camp for Yosemite NP and surrounding mountain area. Site was adequate for 40' coach with 4 slide-outs & leveled nicely with small amount of tweeking. Utilities were good but water pressure seemed a little high so used a reducer. Our 3 wi-fi hotspots didn't work so paid $4.00 per day to use office wi-fi. Park has many large trees which made satellite reception difficult. Moved on last day and was able to hook-up. We would stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
This is the best FamCamp that we've stayed at. All utilities worked great (with smokin' fast wi-fi) and the concrete pad was level. This was the longest site we've been in. After putting our 40' coach where I wanted it, we parked the car in front and had room for 2 more vehicles to park behind the coach. Check-in was quick, efficient and friendly, and you get an escort to your site. Because pull-throughs are oriented around circles, the sites were extremely spacious. When in the area, we will certainly stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
We stayed here two months and nightly rate reflects 28-day months. We agree with what others have said about the park and believe it is the nicest in the Reno area, especially the views. The Wi-Fi has now been fixed and it is smokin' fast and reliable. Security cruises around often. Freeway and train noise was tolerable. Great deals at the casino cafe. Seems there is always something going on in the Reno area. We would stay here again and made reservations for next year.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
Gravel roads and pads & sites with grill & picnic table. We camped in the lower level & found the sites long, wide & level with all utilities exceptional. Price reflects monthly rate & all utilities included. Propane available on site & discounted to residents. Management friendly, professional & accommodating. Although NOT a park issue, our satellite had occasional problems with the HD channels. The only possible negative might be the highway noise.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
All the previous negative comments are true. The first site we were given was unlevel to the point I asked for another site and was cheerfully given one that was level, but very tight. As others stated, the staff is very professional, pleasant and helpful. I was able to get onto the Wi-Fi at 6:30 AM but 6:30 at night, forget it. This park is way over-priced. We will stay elsewhere when in Santa Fe.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
When we arrived, our first site was blocked by a trailer. Our second site was so far off level the front tires were off the ground. At the third site, the auto levelers over-corrected and when we lowered them, the windshield cracked. We had paid for three nights, but after the windshield incident, we decided to just leave after two nights. management refunded one nights rate. She wasn't obligated to do so and we did appreciate it. All previous positive and negative comments that we read are absolutely true. However, we were able to get satellite TV, Wi-Fi bounced in and out but worked, and the traffic on Oak street wasn't an issue. They sprayed a chemical on the road and there was NO dust.

Monitoring in the workplace must be done lawfully. There are many examples of where employees have taken on employers for unlawfuly monitoring their communications (like telephone calls) in the workplace, especially their electronic communications (like email and SMSs). We can help you to lawfully monitor activities in the workplace. It depends on whether you have the written consent of every employee to monitor, or not.
If you have written consent
Getting all employees to consent in writing is first prize. The consent must be properly worded and can take the form of:
- a standalone written consent, or
- a written consent to monitor clause for new appointments for inclusion in your existing employment contract.
The reasons for having properly worded consents are as follows:
- The employee is contracting out of a constitutional right, which is 'more important' than a non-constitutional right.
- RICA, our monitoring law, deals with paper documents, as well as electronic documents (a fact which is often overlooked).
- It is debatable whether RICA only applies to monitoring taking place in real time (RICA refers to monitoring a communication during the "course of its occurrence or transmission") or to stored data as well. This has very important practical ramifications for the organisation regarding what it can monitor.
We can review your existing consent to check that it is lawful.
If you don't have consent to monitor
Where an organisation has not obtained written consent, it can nevertheless monitor in specific circumstances by following a procedure. You need the following documents as a package:
- Explanatory note how the package ensures you comply with RICA.
- Guidance note on how to use the monitoring package.
- Written Authorisation to monitor (from the "system controller" who is the persons responsible under RICA).
- Policy for users (to regulate monitoring of email in the workplace).
- Policy for technical staff (to regulate what they can and can't do).
- Policy for call centre staff [not part of bundle] (to regulate the company's monitoring of call centre personnel).
- Guidelines for technical staff (to provide with guidance so as to monitor lawfully).
- Pro Forma Monitoring Request re-usable template.
- Pro Forma Monitoring Board Report re-usable template (for King purposes).
- FAQ and Glossary of Terms.
- A properly worded visitor sign in sheet and notice at the entrance to the company building where CCTV cameras are used on company premises.
Automated monitoring legal solution
We have developed legal solution using technology which automates the process for the obtaining of requests to monitor as covered in items 8 and 9.
If you are interested, please complete the form on the right or enquire now. We will contact you to find out more about your requirements and give you a quote.

This is who we are
The girls with their ribs as prominent as
a skyscraper on a sunny day,
The boys with scars, dull and silver-purple,
healing ones that are a new-skin pink.
The girls that glance up occasionally, preoccupied with
balancing the mountain of books they hold in their arms.
The boys that keep their gaze low, afraid to be found out for
what they are, for liking other boys. Afraid to be beaten.
The girls who look stone-faced in the open, but when in the privacy of their
own home, they smooth down the cat's fur, and cradle the baby.
The boys who cook, whistling as move around the kitchen in fluid movements,
shutting themselves within at the sound of the door slamming.
The girls who are scared but be brave anyways,
who still wear blue lace kneesocks, and who refuse to bow down to any king or queen.
The boys who will be mocked for it, but even so
wear black, skinny jeans to top it off. Who blow lungfuls of smoke out their pursed lips.
The girls who wear pastels, who are normal, who seem to blend in.
Who can entice anyone, who can be completely ordinary- it's their superpower.
The boys who wear the expected t-shirts and jeans, who wear sneakers and
play sports. Who are so goddamn unnoticeable- because it's what makes them special.

A therapist can educate your child organizational skills, social skills, and look at skills. They will help your child increase their self esteem. They can help your youngster appreciate how ADHD impacts their lives, choices for managing it, and the way to feel happier about themselves. They will enable you to help your son or daughter wonderful these problems and help you create and maintain a normal parent/child relationship. Father Visitation RightsUnless you'll find extenuating circumstances which can be directly mentioned during the court session, if you are paying support then you've got visitation rights. Some vengeful mothers may try and deny this, keeping you from ever seeing your kids. However, the legal system does enable you to see your children periodically, unless there's reason to fear for safety. It is hardly unlikely which you may not have used the services of an attorney at any point of your time in your lifetime. Solicitor services are important whenever there exists a delicate family matter, civil or financial problems that should be resolved legally or amicably or else you want to create an authorized document to your business or personal needs. In my experience fathers have reached a gender disadvantage if the child is surely an infant which is still breastfeeding. But next the gender gap narrows considerably. There are still issues that occur more frequently for guys than women but you are centered on such things as routines. If a man will be the primary caregiver (as may be dominant nowadays) and mother stays you will find enhance the child, then a court could be not wanting to affect the routine. But this issue is around changing the infant's routine rather than the gender. This result can be determined by routine an not gender. Some couples know their relationship is coming to an end but desire to delay until after Christmas. Maybe they wish to provide yet another check out the Christmas period, but also in January visit the realisation they would be happier apart. Those with children might hold off until January for their children's sake to allow them to have one more Christmas with both their parents together. By the same token, don't act like you're perfect either. Be honest about your weaknesses once they emerged. Own up to your problems and explain the way you are working on improving. This works superior to attempting to appear as if you have it completely. We all have our faults. Don't try to hide yours. Do not hesitate to discuss your heartaches. Let it out. Though it is oftentimes challenging to open your feelings online websites, it is an essential thing to do if you are grieving. It will make you're feeling less alone once you learn that others are alert to your emotions. Another helpful outlet to sort out your emotions is journaling.
The elephant within the room that drives many divorces is money. It is something each party is reluctant to admit, but nonetheless is highly integral to the divorce process. During the divorce proceedings, a legal court may hire a tracing method to figure out what property is assigned to what party. The main point of this tracing is to evaluate which property is community property and what property is separate property. California, as being a community property state, affords different treatment to property acquired during marriage than to property acquired before marriage or through various means like gifts or inheritances. • Getting a Santa Evidence kit is another prudent idea. Although the kits are easily available on the internet, it's also possible to cause them to become in your own home. If you know the signature things that Santa Claus wears, then surely it is possible yourself. You can be more creative by leaving tracks within the fireplace and a few special or magical items specifically for the little one. With all this evidence, he can begin to believe inside existence of Santa. Obviously the laws determining what child expenses aren't in the direct support vary by state, in general, extracurricular activities, uninsured medical expenses and educational expenses are NOT within the basic child support amount unless specifically included in a settlement agreement, in accordance with family law attorney Spencer Williams. According to the statutes, the state will determine how much cash is owed each month depending on certain statewide guidelines. These guidelines are set approximately be sure that the amount of money owned can be a fair amount which no person gets behind inside their support payments. However, family law attorneys are acutely aware of the amount of non-custodial parents try to ignore their support obligations. Sadly, you can find not really enough enforcement agents in the state to follow-up on every delinquent case where back money is owed for the support of the child. Child custody proceedings might be stressful and uncomfortable. Although it is usually best to settle these disputes out of court, sometimes these cases can be too complicated in order to avoid judicial proceedings. Child support lawyers might be priceless help through these custody proceedings, specifically parents have started to a decision to talk about custody with their children. While most states involve some kind of joint custody, there are some conditions that can arise from deciding a reasonable judgment for your kids.
child support garnishent
win child custody
If you're late on your own owed child support, most likely you may be facing additional payments for that interest on the past due supporting your children. While most states today now attach the support fees to your paycheck, some instances need send an inspection by the due date. If you're having financial issues or have forfeit a career, possibly that one could start running behind on those payments. The initial custody challenge throughout the divorce decree, every attorney will advise, is definitely the main. However, most often the Standard Possession Order goes unchallenged for a selection of reasons. Divorces involving children are expensive, and lots of fathers usually are not financially ready to challenge custody. Others, like military fathers, may not be geographically located to launch for shared custody mainly because it involves both parents living from the same school district. Some fathers simply do not know there is a choice. As Portland is in Multnomah county, you need to seek out the county court's website. From this website, you should seek out the public records office or because it is called in some courts - court clerk's office. Every county court in most state features a different program established to access the court records. Some courts are on the forefront of computing and invite access to the internet on the records no cost. While other courts are still during the stone age simply allow access from within the courthouse. In the case of Multnomah, it really is somewhere in between, should your divorce is since 2002, you will find there's method of accessing the records online, but you'll need to pay a big set-up fee. The first mistake you may make in a divorce thinks about the problem your partner will probably be fair are available to agreement on things along. Depending on the situation either spouse could possibly be vulnerable, in denial, or very upset. It is unknown whether or not they will be fair or not, so it's always best to check out on your own also to assume your mate will probably be doing a similar. Do not believe that all of one's demands will probably be met, particularly when they may be unrealistic. This rarely occurs and demands should be reasonable to be considered with the court. Divorce attorneys will likely be able to go over your demands and help determine if they're reasonable. You can talk to divorce lawyers for solutions to questions or concerns you might have related to the divorce. Second, and often linked to the above mentioned, the overall living situation is looked at. Often courts will appoint a forensic evaluator (often known as a forensic investigator) to take an in depth glance at the child's family and what each parent can provide being a primary resource. How big is your home? What sort of relationship does a child have with each of the parents? Are there other family members that the kid carries a relationship achievable mustn't be disturbed? This last point is specially relevant in the event the parents live far besides the other person. The report the evaluator submits will certainly impact, though its severity will in all probability rely on if you can find stark differences between what each parent could offer. According to the convention, not merely may be the health insurance and welfare of the child being looked at, but there is also a financial component. The parents of your child or children will honor their familial obligations, including facilitating the care and feeding of the child. Also, each child has the right to a college degree prior to the standards of his/her nation. Children likewise have the directly to social security and healthcare the assistance of their government. In the UK, family law solicitors are often asked queries about just how much maintenance or supporting your children non-resident parents will probably be anticipated to pay on the resident parent following a divorce or separation. The reality is there's no simple answer: child support law is very complex in the UK which is currently under review. There are also factors for example other children from new relationships and salary which should be taken into consideration. There is no alternative to consulting children law solicitor at the time of the divorce or separation to get advice concerning this, in order to color a one-size fits all picture, this article details the broader facts about UK child maintenance law.
