The two debate lies that could nail Mitt Romney
Has Obama given Romney enough rope to hang himself with?
By John Stoehr Published 05 October 2012 15:58Most observers here are saying President Barack Obama lost the first presidential debate with Mitt Romney, and perhaps they are right. The Republican nominee was eager to make his case before millions of television viewers. He was polite, witty, sympathetic to the plight of the middle class, and in command of the format. More importantly, he looked like a human being.
The president, on the other hand, was wonky and dry, more Explainer-in-Chief than Commander-in-Chief. He let Romney push him into a corner. He was on his heels. He didn't fight back. And he didn't use an arsenal of counterattacks available to him, like, "How can you stand there and tell the American people that you care about them when we know how you feel about 47 per cent of them." Predictably, this drove liberals, Democrats, and admirers crazy.
As The Daily Beast's Andrew Sullivan, an Obama supporter, said:
[T]his was a disaster for the president for the key people he needs to reach, and his effete, wonkish lectures may have jolted a lot of independents into giving Romney a second look.
Obama looked tired, even bored; he kept looking down; he had no crisp statements of passion or argument; he wasn't there. He was entirely defensive, which may have been the strategy. But it was the wrong strategy. At the wrong moment [my italics].
James Carville, who was President Bill Clinton's adviser, said on CNN:
I had one overwhelming impression [that] it looked like Mitt Romney wanted to be there and President Obama didn't want to be there. ... I think he wanted to be there. I think he knew he needed this, and I think Obama gave the sense he wasn't happy to be at this debate.
Matt Bai, a reporter for The New York Times, suggested that perhaps the president expressed a lack of enthusiasm for the job of being president.
Mr. Obama's goal, it seems, was to indicate his continued willingness to serve in a job he believes he can do better than the other guy, but that doesn't really seem to enervate or enliven him. That's a problem, and not only for the duration of the campaign.
Yet much of this is surely overblown. If Obama did lose the debate, it's in part because the commentariat tells us he did, and much of the commentariat is telling us he did because, I suspect, it's applying the normative values of "American Idol" contestants to the ambiguities of presidential candidates.
That's why we are hearing so much about how Romney looked like he really wanted to be there, how confident he appeared and ready to be in charge. Obama, on the other hand, didn't appear to have anything to prove. He didn't want it enough. Meanwhile, the pundits forget Obama is the incumbent, and by nature of being the incumbent, he doesn't have anything to prove. It's the challenger's burden to prove the president is no longer fit to serve.
Still, when seasoned liberals start panicking, you worry. Bob Moser, of The American Prospect, wondered which Obama will show up next time, and what he will do when Romney hurls salvos of equivocation and mendacity.
The question for the remaining debates is no longer the one people were asking prior to Denver: 'Which Romney will show up?' It's which Obama will show up—the half-asleep one who declined to debate on Wednesday night, or the jolted-awake one who so effectively hammered his opponent's dishonesty half a day too late?
But here's the thing: What if the real Obama was there? Think about it. What if the president was setting a trap for Romney? It's not as odd as it sounds.
First, the real effect of this debate, as with any debate, probably won't be felt for another few days during which time pollsters will attempt to measure public opinion. Meanwhile, the punditocracy will cycle and recycle the debate until no one remembers what happened, only what it says happened.
While there will be time spent wondering why the president wasn't more assertive, and time spent speculating on how Romney's "win" will give him a bounce in the polls, that will fade, and eventually the substance of the debate will come to the fore, and that's where the president has set a trap.
Romney's fundamental liability, among many cosmetic liabilities, has been that he lies. A lot. Steve Benen, who blogs for MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, has attempted to document them all (a heroic effort), but Romney's reputation as a dissembler has not yet risen to the level of national consciousness. With 58 million people watching the debate, however, that may soon change.
The president did appear to be on the defensive, but like a counter-punching boxer, that may have been to his advantage. I don't mean to make Obama seem cleverer than need be here, but he was able to do in 90 minutes what many journalist have failed to do since Romney began running: pin him down. And knowing that he was being pinned down, Romney did what he does. He lied.
What happened? Obama told the truth.
Romney's budget proposal includes tax cuts for the rich, tax hikes for the middle class. I won't go into the details, but that's right. It has been known for months, and many say the effects of the plan would be a campaign-killer if the effects of the plan were well known. So guess what was Romney's reaction was? Nope, nuh-uh. I don't support a $5trn tax cut, no tax hike on the middle class.
So Big Lie No. 1.
Second, Obama said Romney wants to repeal Obamacare but doesn't say what he will replace it with. Romney said his plan will prevent private insurance companies from discriminating on the basis of so-called preexisting conditions, as Obamacare does. That's true except for being entirely false.
Romney has said anyone who already has insurance will enjoy health care protection under his proposal. As for everyone else, his senior adviser told Talking Points Memo that the Romney replacement plan will actually leave that up to states. In other words, Romney has no plan to protect the sick from discrimination unless they already have insurance, which is already the law.
So Big Lie No. 2.
Remember, the president is the incumbent. The burden of proof is on the Republican nominee's shoulders, and for all the talk about his victory, no one is saying that he made a convincing case that the president's time is up.
Conversely, all Obama has to do to win is cast doubt on Romney. He continued to portray himself as the most reasonable man in the room, above the fray, and deeply concerned about the health and welfare of ordinary Americans. At the same time, he made one solid point. That Romney isn't on the level.
Romney says he'll repeal Obamacare, but doesn't say what he'll replace it with. He says he'll cut taxes by 20 per cent, but doesn't say how he'll pay for it. Over the next few days, as the commentariat chews on the debate, all the talk about posture, eye contact and poor moderating will dissipate, but what will rise to the top is that Romney lied about two of the major concerns of the day.
All of this combined may cast an enormous shadow of doubt over the Romney campaign. If voters are doubtful, they may choose to stick with Obama.
By remaining cool and likeable, and by speaking the plain truth, Obama might have given Romney just enough rope to hang himself with. Time will tell of course, but time is the very thing that's on the president's side.

It's "pored", not "poured".
Heard of 'rope a dope'?
Romney was on some speed to keep his awake since he did not sleep the night before. His face look bad and angry. He looked sick. His hair did not look the same either. During the debate I was sure he was on something for sure. No one questioned this.......his outrageous, rude behavior.
If I find it interesting the alternate universes leftists in the U.S. as well as their counterparts in Europe like to erect, where governments are permitted to spend mythical amounts of money on programs which ultimately enslave their people with unending taxes, but do not ultimately defy the economics of extreme debt, as these leftists wish. Open your eyes: the socialist experiment is failing...again! Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and now it looks like France is joining in on the collapse. You can spin this any way you like, but reality is showing that socialism is collapsing. It's only a matter of time, and you in the U.K. will be on the ropes, too. The U.S. is struggling because of it's ridiculous foray into socialism a la the Community Reinvestment Act and pumping the housing sector with phoney money all as a result of a corrupt overreaching socialistic government along with bank collusion. We did better as a country when we actually were about the private sector, and were not mirroring European socialism. Obama bit the dust in the debate, because he is nothing but a figment of the left's imagination, an empty chair masquerading as some sort of charismatic leader. He's the left's mythical leader who has piled an additional $6 trillion in debt, has not had the leadership to pass a budget in his entire presidency, presided over the worse unemployment record since the depression, and shoved another huge entitlement down the throats of our country, which is turning into a debacle. And now his foreign policy is collapsing. He has made our country weaker and more divided just about through every decision he's made. HE is the American Idol president. He's been nothing but an empty suit, masquerading as an empty chair. The Emperor has no clothes, etc. and this past Wednesday the American people actually saw what the left-wing media (our very own US version of Pravda) has been trying to conceal for the past four years, he's nothing but a hollow man wedded to a failed ideology. On Nov. 6th, the U.S. will hopefully end the Truman Show we've been stuck in the past four year, will face the facts and kick this guy out, along with all his Alinskyite sycophants, and begin the real work of repairing all the damage his presidency has caused. You like him simply because he's as deluded as you on the European left are. Well you can have him along with your failed experiment. We're moving on.
"We're moving on."
and you are deluded enough to think that by electing a bloke who is indistinguishable from G.W. Bush you will achieve progress?
or can you explain just how Romney's policies are different from those of Bush?
Greece is not a "socialist experiment", and Ireland is not failing for the reasons you think. Because europe is more socialistic than the US, and it has problems, you assume that's due to overspending on welfare, etc.?
But that's not what's actually happening at all. In reality, Greece's welfare state is well below average for the EU. Ireland, despite a high basic welfare payment, actually has relatively low spending on social protection overall.
What's happening in europe is more down to the opposite- a failed experiment with deregulation/neoliberalism. Things like welfare, spending can be caught from budget to budget, but crony capitalism, housing bubbles and forced bailouts can't. If socialism was a "failed" experiment, it wouldn't have justed suddenly exploded.
Also, can you explain how the strong social democracies of Scandanavia are not collapsing?
People will disagree, have different views on how to drive an economy. But there's something really wrong when so many people based their views on a factually incorrect idea.
Here's some real stats on Greece:

But he can sing! Biden said he is intelligent and well-spoken. Hope there is no October "wag-the-dog"...
Do you find comfort in labeling? Does it assuage the growing panic you feel over the fact that your candidate is a fumbling liar who apparently isn't aware that he's on record taking every conceivable side of every issue? And why are you even speaking about macroeconomics? You clearly don't understand the discipline, so why venture an opinion, especially when your guy's plan LITERALLY balloons the budget past what President Obama is spending. If you don't like the current deficit, why are you voting to make it larger?
Really, I'm seriously asking here: is the success of the Republican Party really worth more to you than the health of the nation? Because you can't defend Romney's record of lying. I'd love to see you try, but it would be a fairly simple matter to BURY you in audio and video of Romney's mendacity. So either you're of the opinion that the guy who's got a track record for lying would make a great President, or you just really want the Democrat out of the White House, consequences be damned. Which is it?
MSNBC reported on the afternoon of the debate that Romney was so tense that he did not sleep. He looked terrible, face and hair, and appeared to be frantic and sleep deprived. What drug did he take to make him so hyper.
His domination of the time was nasty and rude. Who in their right miond would be impressed. The moderator was treated as if he was not there. Romney could have cared less he was there. His answers to his questions were those that he memorized before the debate and he was hell bent to spit them out.
He was nothing but rude and did not follow any of the agreed upon debate rules. Obama had to be shocked with all the lies, so which was he to respond to. He did not get down to his level and did follow them. He pleaded with the moderator to enforce the rules. But he stayed Presidential and answered all the questions asked in his cool manner without telling lies.
The alleged commentators were impressed with Romney's bulling and did nothing to talk about his lies, frantic behavior, and rudeness. Matthews and Ed Schultz of MSNBC were out of control as well since the President did not clear what he would say with him and had a check off list of what he wanted them to say. Maddow was ineffective as well while going along with Obama.
(BTW, NATE SILVER SAID THAT MOST SITTING pRESIDENTS LOOSE THE FIRST DEBATE. ) BUT i AM NOT SURE BARACK DID.
Romney's mean, Big bird, dog on roof, "he lies", he's a Mormon, too rich, not enough taxes, no taxes, ships jobs overseas... whew! How about Obama has no plan ,no budget, too many unelected Czars, Obamcare/tax, caught lying about Bengazi embassy murders while in Vegas, caught lying about Mexico Fast & Furious Gun running project, has no message except "it's not that bad and wait for me, I can do it if you give me another 4 years please"? He's in over his head! I'll bet the NS columnists & bloggers are busy writing their dual articles about our election outcome. 4 weeks from today. Love to know how they are going to spin this Democrat flop! I'm going to bet Racism...
It seems that this article forgets to mention that Obama also made plenty of lies in the past 4 years with loads of unfulfilled promises waiting to be fulfilled.
They are both bad and both liars, it comes down to track record vs track record and Romney simply has the better one even though it's not on same scale and there's a big chance of him blowing it up when it gets to the large scale.
You need to read a dictionary to explain the word lie. Obama's broken promises are not lies but in ability to find enough republicans to comprise with in the congress.
Romney stance on abortion and taxes are lies.
Nice, well written article, it's interesting that you bring up how Obama may be leading Romney into a trap, as it's something I've seen mentioned a couple of times in the past two days. The points appear to be further validated by the polls remaining more or less steady, and It will be interesting to see wether Obama capitalises on Romney's statements.
Excellent analysis and something that occurred to me also; that just letting Romney talk (complete with bug-eyed over stimulated affect) would be enough rope to hang him with. I wonder however whether the American public is up to the nuance of this approach. They were looking for punches to connect and blood to be let. It appeared as though Obama didn't feel well and I think the observation by Al Gore that he had just arrived in Denver a few hours before may be salient; I flew into Denver from sea level myself once and it takes days to acclimate and get rid of the headache and sleepinessfrom the lower oxygen levels. There's also jet lag and the time difference to take into account. Romney reportedly had been in Denver for quite a while practicing for the debates.
Also look into today's stink about whether Romney snuck notes onto the podium; unless he was just putting a hankerchief onto the dais in advance, it sure looks suspicious. I wouldn't put it past him, he reminds me so much of one of those kids in school who tried to bewilder the teacher with BS rather than just doing the homework.

"Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive."
— Josephine Hart (via filthyandfine)
I definitely consider myself damaged. I don't think that damaged is necessarily a negative thing though. This quote makes perfect sense to me. I've been through very hard times, and I've survived. I will keep surviving.
God doesn't give you things you can't handle. Despite how it sometimes may seem sometimes.

Dear writer friends o'mine …
I found a new site today that is a link between writers and publications. I have submitted an article and plan to submit more, just to see if it "works." You have to sell full rights and the article prices are quite low. It's a great find for me as an editor, but it may or may not work for you as a writer.

Nest is a nonprofit dedicated to changing the lives of women in developing countries. It supports women artists and artisans in the developing world by providing micro-credit loans to be used for the purchase of the supplies and materials necessary to begin and/or maintain art- or craft-based businesses.
The funds for these loans are generated by selling a unique line of clothing, accessories and merchandise for the home produced exclusively for Nest. Recipients of Nest loans in developing countries also make their crafts available to Nest as repayment for the micro-credit loans.

Lost & Found: A Memoir
by Kathryn Slattery
[GuidepostsBooks, $17.99]
release date: March 2008
Lost & Found is a book Kathryn Slattery needed to write. Unfortunately, it's not one that everyone will enjoy reading. It's a painful story. The memoir recounts a sad childhood in a dysfunctional family, then a young adult life spent trying to make sense of it. Thankfully the story's tone begins to change when Slattery encounters Jesus' grace in her adult life and then makes peace with her childhood as she cares for her ailing elderly mother. While some readers will enjoy the flawless writing and even identify with the struggles of the writer (an alcoholic father, eating disorder, chronic anxiety), one can't help but feel weary of the memoir format.

Book Review: 'Authentic Parenting in a Postmodern Culture'
Posted by davisbaby under Book Reviews1 Comment
Authentic Parenting in a Postmodern Culture: Practical Help for Shaping Your Children's Hearts, Minds, and Souls
by Mary E. DeMuth
[Harvest House, $12.99]
release date: July 2007
If you've ever watched the ultra-popular National Geographic Channel television show called "The Dog Whisperer," you'll notice that the show really isn't about getting dogs to behave. It's about training the owners on how to interact with them. Obedience follows proper instruction and handling.
In a strange way comparison, Authentic Parenting isn't so much about getting your kids to behave; it's about becoming the kind of follower Jesus is calling you — the parent — to be in this postmodern culture. So if you're looking for 10 quick tips to trick your kids into being angels in public, look elsewhere. This book is intellectual, meaty and challenging to the reader.
While the writing easy to read, the challenge the content presents is a little more difficult to digest. "Parenting, boiled down to its essence, is modeling," the author, Mary DeMuth, writes. "How you want your children to be on the inside must match your own insides – and your insides need to be surrendered to the kingdom of God" (p. 44). DeMuth, a speaker, writer and church planter, spends plenty of time showing you how to take steps to do just that.
But the book isn't without practical application. DeMuth encourages being polite and respecting one another (novel idea!); to practice forgiveness in the home; to coach instead of direct older children; to spend time in nature; to value the arts. She also goes into great depth into the intangible bigger picture: how to bring truth, authenticity, community into your home to prepare your children for the world we live in today. She advises:
• Engage your children in conversation. She gives an example of how they do this: "Our practice over the last several months has been to play 'high-low' every night with our children as we eat our dinner" (p. 59).
• Read with your children: "Reading creates a haven because it gives families shared experiences. It opens up imagination. Good books teach lessons, not by preaching but by unveiling a well-told story" (p. 100).
• Create a safe environment: "Home is the place our children return to, the compass they guide their lives by. As they leave our homes, they'll be more apt to return to what we value if home was a refuge" (p. 103).
• Live out a vibrant faith: "What kind of faith do we want our children to bring to this postmodern world? A stoic, stuffy religion that beckons people to rules and regulations? Or a vibrant, life-giving, grace-abounding relationship with Jesus that infects and affects the people around them?" (p. 216).
"Children shape us," DeMuth writes. They are also a reflection of our faith: "Through our children, we see ourselves, where we are with Jesus" (p.88). What a wonderful tool God gives to shape and mold us as we shape and mold others. Regardless of how fast the culture changes around us, the way we love and instruct our children can sustain them for a lifetime.

My 6-month-old daughter loves gadgets. Already! Remote controls, cell phones and most of all, my laptop. She loves the lights and movements she sees on the screen, and the feeling of pressing those irresistible buttons that light up on the keyboard. Sometimes she'll just run her hand over the smooth part leading up to the keyboard.
I dug into my closet and brought out my old laptop that's probably more than 10 years old. It would be a perfect toy for my gadget-loving girl, except that she wants nothing to do with it at all. She wants Mommy's shiny new laptop, the one she sees me using (probably too much).
The same tendency happens among the ministry. We often desire to do the jobs that are most public (preaching, singing, leading) because, well, they're the most visible. It's human nature. Ministries that are behind-the-scenes are just as vital: bus ministry, cleaning, prayer, administrative duties.
Jesus modeled what we now call "servant leadership" in His time here in the flesh: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45, New International Version). In his writings to the Philippians, Paul instructs us to follow Jesus' example: "Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion" (Philippians 2:7-8, The Message). Matthew 6:3-4 implies that God will reward what is done in secret.
I saw a beautiful example of servant leadership this past weekend. I arrived early for afternoon singing practice and saw our worship leader's wife, who has a very public role singing and leading the choir sometimes, with a bottle of Windex and paper towels. She was cleaning the front doors of the church, fully dressed for church that night. She saw a need and fulfilled it — out of the public eye. Her small, simple act reminded me that worship isn't just a public act. It's the daily pursuit of loving God and serving others, no matter what form that may take.
30-Second Prayer
God, help me to realize when I'm coveting title, position and visible roles for the purpose of self-fulfillment. Open my eyes to needs that can be met in secret. Forgive me for not wanting to get my hands dirty in the work of the Kingdom. Thank you for the beautiful example of servant leadership You set for us with Your life recorded in the Scriptures.
I once heard a writer and prayer-ministry leader share with a group that he and God have secrets. There are things that he does that only God knows about. He gave us one example (but only one, so the rest would remain secret). He was in a public restroom when he happened upon a stall whose toilet seat was covered in vomit. Instead of recoiling in disgust and using a different stall, he cleaned it. He realized that someone was going to have to do that, and it would probably be someone who has to deal with the nastiest of human filth every day, so why not give that person a break? Actions like that build character, and no doubt make God smile. Find something to do this week that can become a special secret between you and God.
More Scriptures on being a servant: Ephesians 6:6; Matthew 10:38-39; Mark 10:43-45

Last Day at the Hospital
June 19th, 2011 by Erin WilliamsFriday was my last day at the hospital in Paita. I thought it was just going to be a regular day in the Internal Medicine clinic. But after about an hour visiting with patients, Dr. More told me to head to the OR. For my last day I got to scrub in on two more surgeries, and learn how to do stitches! I assisted the surgeon throughout the surgery, and then at the end he slowly stitched the patient up and explained how to do it as he went. He then let me practice using the forceps and needle, so that I could get the technique. I had never used the instruments before, so I was a little shaky at first. It was an easy process, but took a little bit to get the feel of the forceps. Even learning something as simple as stitches was exciting, and I appreciated the surgeon taking time to teach me!! After the two surgeries I thought we were finished, but we walked outside the OR to find a boy about eighteen years old who had been in an accident. He had lost the tip of his left ring finger. It was very bloody and the tip of his finger bone was exposed along with his entire nail. After he gave the boy a local anesthetic, I helped the surgeon by cleaning the wound and putting pressure on the opening while he cut the bone down. Once the bone and nail were even with the skin and tissue that was left on the finger, he sutured the opening closed. The nurse and I then cleaned the boy's finger and wrapped it in gauss. It was a very successful day, and I learned a lot about performing and controlling my nerves in pressure situations.

For those who want to save some money, see how the locals travel and get to work, or are just feeling intrepid, Septa is the way to go. Septa — the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority — offers subways, buses, and a few trolleys all over Philadelphia. For now, we're going to focus on how to get around by bus without garnering evil looks from impatient Philadelphians trying to get to work.
One of the best tools Septa offers is a trip planner on its website. Much like Mapquest, you can just type in where you want to leave from, your destination, and the approximate time you want to leave, then hit "Plan My Trip" and select your mode of transport (bus, in this case). A plan will pop up, complete with exact times of buses and estimated traveling time. Septa has many many routes — there will usually be more than one way for you to get somewhere — so using this tool will help you immensely. Unfortunately, a complete map of the bus system does not exist, so your best bet is using this tool or asking someone which route to take. Once you identify the proper route, you can find a map and schedule on Septa's website by clicking on maps and stations or schedules, then selecting buses. Here's what you might encounter (this one is for the 40 bus, which runs from West Philly through Center City):
Hmm, that trip planner is looking better and better, isn't it?
Anyway, once you've got your route selected, you'll need a few tips on traveling by Septa. First of all, you MUST have exact change, which is currently $2.00. The driver will not let you on without exact change. The other way to travel — a far cheaper way — is to buy tokens ahead of time, which you can buy at the larger subway stations, some tourist destinations, and some supermarkets…Ask the concierge at your hotel about this or use the website's comprehensive list of token vendors. If you use tokens, each ride only costs $1.55, so it's definitely worth the extra hassle of trying to find somewhere to buy them. You can only buy tokens in packs of 2 or more.
Another great option for visitors is the One-Day Independence Pass, which lets you take an unlimited number of bus (and subway and trolley) rides in one day. This costs $11 for an individual and $28 for a family of up to five. Sounds like a great deal, if you ask me! You can buy these passes at the aforementioned places, or, if your trip isn't for a few weeks, you can purchase them online here and wait for them to arrive by snail mail.
Keep this in mind when figuring out how to pay for your rides: travelers over the age of 65 with either a valid PA senior citizen transit card OR a Medicare card travel free. And children under 4 (accompanied by an adult) also travel free, as long as you don't have more than two per adult. Woohoo! If you do have small children with you and are traveling with a stroller, Septa kindly requests that you fold it up before boarding the bus so as not to inconvenience other passengers. Riders with disabilities also get a discounted fare of $1.00 (and Septa buses do accommodate wheelchairs).
And another thing you should know about: transfers. Once you board the bus (after you've slid your money into the little machine by the driver or deposited your token in the slot), you can slide an extra dollar into the machine and ask the driver for a transfer. This ticket lets you get on another bus going in a similar direction, so it works if you have to take two or three buses to get to one place — but it's not valid for buses going in the return direction. Also, check the time punched on your transfer ticket; you may be able to dawdle for a few minutes before getting on that second bus, as long as you don't take too long.
Before we get to the ins and outs of actually being on the bus, there's one more thing you should know: Septa buses rarely stick to the posted schedule (sorry, Septa, but it's true). You might be standing under the Septa sign at a corner (see below) for 15 minutes waiting for a bus that's supposed to run every 8 minutes. And then, of course, 3 buses will go by at once (it's like Murphy's Law, but for Septa…Septa's Law).
Okay, so you've paid your fare and you're on the bus. Are there any rules? Well, there are, but people rarely follow them. You'll see people scarfing down full meals right in front of the signs that say no food or drink. But, if you want to be polite, it's worth heeding those signs. You're free to sit wherever until the bus gets crowded, at which point seats in the front are supposed to be given up to the elderly and to others who look like they might need a seat (that pregnant woman carrying three bags of groceries, for example). You'll also see people blatantly ignoring this common courtesy, while the pregnant woman or the little old lady gives them the evil eye.
During rush hours and on popular routes, buses can get quite crowded — once in a while a bus might even fly right past a stop, invariably too full to take on any more passengers. If you have to stand, the most important thing to remember is either to move to the back (as the driver will probably loudly remind you) or to make sure you let people pass you as they board. Nothing gets people angrier than a bus appearing full simply because everyone is standing at the front when there's plenty of room in the back!
When your stop is approaching — when it's the next corner the bus could stop at — pull the cord or push the button on the side to signal to the driver that you'd like him or her to stop. You'll have to pay close attention to where you are as you're traveling, unless you are able to stay near the front of the bus and happen to have a friendly and helpful driver…The electronic notification system telling passengers what intersection the bus is at often doesn't work or is poorly timed — not to mention the fact that it only exists on newer buses. My advice is to ask someone at your hotel what landmarks to look for as you approach the right bus stop. If you're on the bus and are thoroughly confused as to where you are, don't be scared to ask someone politely for their help. Philadelphians can actually be pretty helpful and friendly, despite the grumpy scowls we wear on our faces.
While many Philadelphians get quite a bit of satisfaction out of griping about Septa (the fares! The untimeliness and frequent detours! The drunk man talking loudly to himself in the back of the bus!), it is actually quite convenient, and it's certainly cheaper than taking cabs everywhere. So go find those tokens and get ready to act like a real Philadelphian!

Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.3 in G major may have been written while he was at Weimar, given that it (along with Nos.1 and 6) is reminiscent of the Italian concerto, a genre with which Bach was fascinated at the time. The motoric rhythm, clear melodic outline, and motivic construction owe a lot to the comparable works of Vivaldi, but the clarified harmony and more interesting counterpoint are unmistakably Bach's. The work's two main sections, both in G major (one alla breve, the other in 12/8 time), are separated by a brief Adagio which may be realized as a short violin cadenza. The concerto is originally written for three violins, three violas, and three cellos, with bass and continuo. The relationship between the instruments is subjective to the listener; as the positioning of the parts fluctuates, it may appear that there are no soloists, that the players are all soloists, or that the violins, violas, and cellos occupy their own solo groups. The Italian concerto grosso's distinction between concertino (a small group of soloists) and ripieno (the full ensemble) becomes in Bach's hands, and especially distinctively in the Brandenburg Concerto No.3, a kaleidoscopic range of colors and shades.
This arrangement is for standard string quartet, with an optional double bass part for use with string orchestra.

Economic and population growth, greater urbanisation and increased mobility are boosting demand for new infrastructure and straining the capacity and effectiveness of existing infrastructure. Single mode approaches are no longer viable as governments and stakeholders recognise the need for multi-modal solutions across the whole supply chain.
Across the whole transport spectrum of aviation, marine, roads and highways, rail and transportation and logistics, our team provides integrated transport services throughout the project lifecycle from initial policy, transport economics and business case advice, through concept, procurement, detailed design and construction to operations, maintenance and asset management.
We help clients develop sustainable solutions which balance infrastructure investment with demand reduction, land use strategies and system efficiencies.

A range of previous studies, including the Corridor Selection Report, identified the need for a northern busway to provide a new public transport line haul (high quality, high frequency) route to support existing and future north side suburban services.
Read More . . .
GHD is in the initial design stage for the first of three bus priority lanes, along the Columbo Street corridor. The project involves the widening of this main arterial allowing for dedicated and on-peak-only bus lanes for travel into and away from the CBD. The lanes will extend for approximately 3.5 kilometres. Other design features include bus stop relocation, B-signals, PTIPS, cycle lanes and changes to roadside parking allowances.
The investigation, design and construction is being delivered by the City East Alliance (CEA), comprised of GHD, Leighton Contractors, NRW and Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads). The project presented key risks in areas of utility impacts and road network operations. The team generated more than 100 qualifying innovations during the costing phase of the project spanning technological, process, methodology, materials and delivery improvements.
The contract calls for investigation, feasibility analysis, preliminary and detailed design of road safety improvements. To meet these requirements, GHD has carried out and supplied Auckland City Council with:
The extension was designed and constructed on a fast-track basis, which enabled its completion within just six months. The new section has given Qatar Airways additional gate boarding lounges, a first class lounge and cafeteria, increased check-in area capacity and additional baggage handling systems.
Our scope of work involved studies and preparation of plans, specifications and estimates for USD8 million of road, drainage, signalization and landscaping improvements. The project was prepared in accordance with AASHTO guidelines and Federal Specifications Standards. GHD was responsible for the design of the geometry, utility relocation, drainage, signalization and traffic studies. This project required extensive coordination with the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation, the Saipan Department of Public Works, and the Office of the Governor Planning Office. Construction documents included culverts, street paving and sidewalks, signalized intersection, landscaping features, signing and striping.
GHD was part of a team of international designers who developed the concept for the 190ha Highbrook Business Park, adjacent to Auckland's Southern Motorway. Highbrook Business Park has attracted tenants from a wide range of businesses and will eventually accommodate up to 12,000 employees in 550,000sq m of industrial and commercial floor space.
Considerable stakeholder management was crucial for this project and as part of the review process, included liaison with various groups including Cycling Action Auckland. The co-ordination of three contracts into one (OHUG, Physical Works and Resurfacing) was successfully executed to ensure optimum timeliness and cost saving.
This includes traffic signal optimisation, incident management, special events management and optimising traffic flows.
GHD delivered a number of route optimisation reports detailing before and after evaluations using in-car groups to determine fuel, travel time and CO2 reductions of route optimisation.
GHD has been engaged to provide the engineering design services for the contractor, Urban Superway Joint Venture, which comprises John Holland Pty Ltd, Macmahon Contractors Pty Ltd, and Leed Engineering and Construction Pty Ltd. SMEC Australia and International Bridge Technologies (San Diego) are supporting GHD as subconsultants.
While Puerto Williams is the gateway to Antarctica, just 2000 tourists visit annually, roughly equivalent to the town's population. This is in stark contrast to the Argentinian town of Ushuaia – located just 40 km (24 mi) across the Beagle Straits – that welcomes more than 200,000 tourists and 250 cruise ships every year.
A paramics micro-simulation transport model, developed by GHD, was a key feature of the assessment, allowing highly effective testing of the proposed impacts of the development on internal and external road and rail networks.
Key features of the project include two grade separated interchanges, the widening of more than two kilometres of motorway, the construction of local arterial roading as well as a large roundabout and a 200-metre long bridge. This challenging project required carefulcoordination to avoid interference with an adjacent power station cooling pond.
The solutions researched and developed focused on Travel Demand Management (TDM) and maximising the public transport services in the district. Since the completion of the study, GHD has been assisting stakeholders in implementing the recommended strategy.
Efficient and strategically located intermodal terminals facilitate the transport of freight from one mode to another.

Donovan vetoes latest Bergen freeholder bid to merge county police and sheriff
Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan on Thursday vetoed a freeholder-approved plan to merge the County Police into the Sheriff's Office, calling the move an illegal attempt to diminish her authority.
The veto, which was widely expected, is the 29th that Donovan has issued since becoming County Executive in January 2011. In a six-page veto message, Donovan also accused the board of violating a temporary restraining order that she obtained earlier this month when she sued the board to block their rewrite of the county administrative code.
She noted that when Superior Court Judge Menelaos Toskos issued the order earlier this month, he restrained the board from taking "any substantially similar actions."
Donovan contends code revisions and the police merger are part of the same pattern.
She said this latest merger ordinance "reflects a continuation of the Board's quest to diminish the authority of the County Executive."
Freeholder Chairman David Ganz said he will ask the freeholders on Wednesday to override Donovan's veto, just as they did on her veto of the county code revisions.
"The queen of vetoes has struck again," said Ganz, arguing that the freeholders do have the right to reorganize county government.
"We will continue to fight to defend real savings and improvements to public safety, putting money back in the hands of the working men and women of Bergen County," he said.
"Veto is Latin for 'I forbid,'" he later added. "But here in Bergen County 'Veto' can be translated as 'Kathleen Donovan will cost you money.'"
The Democrats, who control the board by a 4-3 majority, contend the merger will save between $90 million to $200 million over the next 25 years.

Comments about NSI International 1012089 Nickelodeon Gak - Electric Blue:
This stuff was horrible!! We bought one-exchanged it, bought another one-exchanged it again, 3rd time was the last. Every single one was like scrambled eggs-it did NOT mold together. Our young one left in tears he was so disappointed, but we explained we were not going to keep doing this. We had bought more for Christmas and returned them unopened as well.

Self-censorship of that type is already more likely to result in the message being designated as spam, than using proper English, depending on the particular spam filter being used, i.e. how intelligent it is. > Can Spam filters one day become > redundant?

Currently, I'm of the view that spam filters that use rules sets *and* a bayesian filter component are likely to continue to be much more practical and effective than using white and black listing of addresses. A couple of months ago I installed SpamAssassin as implemented in NoSpamToday for Windows www.no-spam-today.com (which has only been on the market since about last November). I then spent a bit of time figuring out how to train the bayesian filter in the SpamAssassin part. Since then I've been absolutely amazed at how clever it is. It catches about 99.5% of the spam I receive and I've had no 'false positives' that I would actually call a false positive. The 'FP's have been when someone posts a message containing spammy stuff to a list like Link. (The message Jeff sent to the list almost got caught because of the use of spam filter 'avoidance' language, which is a sure sign of spam to sophisticated spam filters). My filter could be tweaked to stop that happening, but I haven't bothered to get around to doing it, because it's usually smart enough to work out that it's a message discussing spam, not actual spam. I think bayesian filters are the key, and I think they probably work better when trained on the type of email a particular individual (or small group of individuals) receives rather than when trained on the wide range of types of email that travel through an ISP's system. They can be pretty good even on an ISP's system (probably very good depending on how careful the ISP is about proper training of the bayes filter). Irene

Has the hip-and-shoulder become a low act?

I'm afraid the game's unique and time-honoured hip and shoulder is beginning to look grubby. The spectacle of the classic bump (hip-and-shoulder against hip-and- shoulder) has been a source of wonder for followers of other sports.
It can be a thing of beauty but it has degenerated into a dangerous art form.
Previously when Kade Simpson heard things go bump in the night, he assumed he was imagining it. That was before Friday night last week when he heard a bump, and a crack, and his lights went out.
Despite harsh penalties being imposed by the AFL over an extended period now – remember Michael Long's collision with Troy Simmonds in the 2000 Grand Final – the awful sight of players heads being hit with shoulders continues.
There is something intrinsically malicious about the legitimate hip-and-shoulder. It has always been the one legal outlet for certain players to act on their aggressive impulses. In the past it provided the game's celebrated "hard nuts" with an opportunity to make a statement and instil fear into opponents.
Even for the more timid player, choosing the heavy bump over a tackle is often the result of anger or frustration.
But the days of theatrical posers are over. No longer do players have the time or permission to strut around like Dermott Brereton dishing out punishment and receiving it in due course.
The modern game has few pauses and is played at breakneck speed. Players arrive at contests at a fierce velocity. If bumps are to be permitted then the consequences are clear.
Now while it's not the intention of most players to make contact with the head – althugh Matt White's premeditated shot on a crouching James Frawley came close – it appears that "making a contest" is the sole aim.
What was Sharrod Wellingham trying to do exactly when he approached Simpson? In a panel discussion involving Wellingham, Tim Watson was charitable enough to claim that he was originally going for the mark.
Wellingham didn't say what his intentions were, only that he didn't mean "to hurt him [Simpson] that much".
Part of the problem lies with the code of courage enforced by the playing group and more importantly the coach. Now while coaches don't recommend certain courageous plays like backing into a pack – they expect their players to do everything to win the ball; including forceful dispossession.
When Collingwood successfully appealed against Nick Maxwell's suspension for his jaw breaking bump on Patrick McGinnity in 2009, the defending QC argued that if Maxwell had not committed the bump he was going against the "spirit" of the game and the orders of his coach Mick Malthouse.
"I'm a tenth of a second away from impact. I'll pull out of this. Sorry Mick", said the counsel.
The argument that such a collision was unavoidable was dubious, of course. Maxwell was quite fee to run alongside McGinnity and contest the rolling ball, just as Wellingham could easily have stayed behind Simpson as Heath Shaw contested the mark.
But they were only doing what was expected of them; to make a contest. Unfortunately that meant the accidental breaking of jaws and serious concussion.
In any case, the bump is often ineffective in gaining possession. A tackle is more likely to produce a turnover or a free kick for holding the ball.
If the speed and the 'spirit' of the game aren't going to change then perhaps it's time to get rid of the iconic hip-and-shoulder.
Admittedly, it may be difficult to enforce because the umpires would have to decide whether a hit was a deliberate act or an incidental collision. There is also the self preserving bump - wrapping yourself up in order to protect your abdomen and ribs from damage.
Many old-timers certainly wouldn't want the bump outlawed. Ex-players like Malcolm Blight wax lyrical about legitimate bumps such as the one by Lenny Hayes that flattened Dale Thomas a couple of years ago: "He got down low and just met the body. It was beautiful!"
Contact is inevitable. The game is about aggressive men with the ball and similar men trying to get it back.
Adrenalin, desperation, anger and coaches orders are a dangerous cocktail so perhaps it's time to limit the contact to tackles.

Ian Whitchurch said | July 15th 2012 @ 12:35pm | Report commentHunt's hip and shoulder against Monfries of Essendon argues that the bump has now become a specialist's tool.
July 15th 2012 @ 2:40pm
BigAl said | July 15th 2012 @ 2:40pm | Report commentThat hit should be made illegal, if it's not already !
Monfries had eyes only for the ball/the man with the ball – and Hunt only had eyes for Monfries.
It reminds me very much of that low incident years ago when Brereton lined up Van der Haar – that was outrageous and gross !
Brereton could see that Van had his eyes on getting the bal and that he was on his blind side, so he just forgot about anycontest for the ball, lined him up and severely hurt him from a great distance – and Brereton thought he was the big tough guy that he just loved to think of himself as lEven in Rugby League where they love that sort of stuff it's illegal unless you have the ball I believe, and in Union it's outlawed all together !
The whole concept is uncontrollable, unmanageable, and down right dangerous – not to mention grossly unfair to the player who has eyes only for the ball
July 15th 2012 @ 10:31pm
GCS said | July 15th 2012 @ 10:31pm | Report commentI'm with you on the Brererton hit on Van Der Haar. There was only one player there showing courage, yet I remember at the time that the media made Dermie out to be the hero, with "Demolition Dermie" headlines.

BigAl said | July 16th 2012 @ 2:16pm | Report commentWeak ?
Well just imagine if in the 2 cases discussed here, the player taken out of the play had been done so by being grabbed and dragged down ? There would have been screams of outrage and an immediate free kick given.
If a player doesn't have the ball then he can't be tackled – so he shouldn't be be able to be bumped out of the play.
– stupid !
July 17th 2012 @ 8:38am
hawker said | July 17th 2012 @ 8:38am | Report commentNo , if he's within 5 metres of the ball he should be expecting contact… Besides that Hunt hit was good karma for Monfries for being a diving cheat
July 17th 2012 @ 1:44pm
BigAl said | July 17th 2012 @ 1:44pm | Report commentThat 5 metre rule is ridiculous !
It lays it open for a player to be taken out, even if there are 2 or three of his team mates closer to the ball than he, by someone who just has a grudge against him?
This is the scenario that the the good old-fashioned sniper loves . . .
July 17th 2012 @ 2:56pm
Nathan of Perth said | July 17th 2012 @ 2:56pm | Report commentFive meter rule is about the right distance – important to be able to clear paths and as for heavy bumps, well, some players just need a lot of convincing to clear the way.
We are proud of the 360 degree nature of the sport, this is part and parcel, you have to keep your head on a swivel. Beau Waters is a master at the legitimate bump and it would be terrible to see that lost to the game.
July 16th 2012 @ 2:49am
DJW said | July 16th 2012 @ 2:49am | Report commentAnd this is why I watch rugby union. Afl will soon be non contact with visits to the tribunal for looking at your opponent the wrong way.
A hip and shoulder when performed correctly is part and parcel of the game. A method used to shepherd or get the opponent of the ball.

BigAl said | July 16th 2012 @ 1:43pm | Report comment??
But in the 2 examples mentioned (Hunt & Brereton), there was no 'battle for the ball" !!One guy has the ball in mind, and the other has his eye on him and thinks . . .
'… he doesn't see me, stuff the ball, I'll just take him – out easy/peasy ! '
July 16th 2012 @ 2:30pm
BigAl said | July 16th 2012 @ 2:30pm | Report comment'…performed correctly' ?? – what does that mean ! – surgery is safe when performed correctly.

Zenyatta posted a 4-furlong work in :47.8 at Del Mar yesterday, and today looked very peaceful in her stall at trainer John Shirreffs' barn.
Her next start will most likely be as the defending champion in the Lady's Secret Stakes on Oct. 10 at Oak Tree, which would serve as her final prep for the Breeders' Cup in November.
You can see a photo of her in her stall yesterday, and a video from the Milady Handicap at Hollywood Park that shows Zenyatta strutting her stuff, here.

"A mostly feline home! Sounds purrrrfect to me…"
Gypsy photo courtesy of KarenFayeth.
… and sounds purrrrfect to the cats' best friend as reported by the video poster:
Riana Van Nieuwenhuizen, the sanctuary worker shares her South African home with not one but FOUR orphaned cheetahs, five lions and two tigers.
Forty-six-year-old Riana said: I love them all. But they're a handful.
Riana bought her first cheetah, Fiela, in 2006. After realising the big cats were in trouble and heading for extinction with only one thousand left in Africa, she left her full-time job working for the Department of Justice – a position she had held for twenty-two years – and found temporary employment on a game ranch where she could raise her beloved big cat.
But Rianas real dream was fully realised after she set up the not-for-profit Fiela Funds Cheetah Breeding Project in South Africa to ensure the long-term survival of the cheetah and their ecosystem. The project spreads over a hectare of land and visitors can meet Fiela and the other cats and even have their pictures taken. If you want to outdo your friends in the wedding photo stakes, the project also offers newly weds the chance to be snapped cuddling up to a big cat.
The cats in Rianas' own home are truly part of the family and are allowed to roam freely. They make it known when they are hungry, even jumping up onto work surfaces in an attempt to snatch a bite of whatever is going. Luckily Rianas two dogs aren't on the menu but instead romp with the cats and even snuggle down with them for a snooze. silverlake159

Displaying your cellulite-free legs at the beach will let you feel as confident as the lifeguard who allowed himself to be swallowed by a shark so that he could beat it up from the inside. Be the star of the beach with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $129 for two Lipo-Light treatments (a $250 value per session) and whole-body vibration sessions (a $40 value per session; a $580 total value)
- $199 for four Lipo-Light treatments and whole-body vibration sessions (a $1,160 total value)
During appointments, specialists target fat deposits with an LED light. It permeates fat cells, causing them to release fatty acids, water, glycerol, and triglycerides. The procedure results in loss of inches and reduced cellulite. Whole-body vibration aims to accelerate weight loss by causing muscles to quickly contract, helping increase circulation and improve muscle strength.
McDonald Chiropractic
When Sly and the Family Stone sang the lyrics "different strokes, different folks" in their 1968 hit "Everyday People," they probably weren't thinking about chiropractic and weight-loss techniques. But the song's general principle—that everyone is different and should be accepted—applies at McDonald Chiropractic, where Dr. Greg McDonald and his team tailor their techniques to fit clients' unique needs and goals. Dr. McDonald specializes in spinal decompression and treatments that target lower back and neck pain, but his service menu also includes advanced therapies such as brain-based neurological rehabilitation.

Beauty Make-Over Motivators and the Movers and Shakers That Bring Dramatic Results
Isn't it funny how when something new is going on in your life (whether it be a heart-wrenching break-up or a new mind-blowing relationship/happiness that has you walking a foot off the ground) the first thing you want to do is get even more gorgeous than you already are?!? It's kind of that "make everything an opportunity" thing…I think. Well either that, or it's the look at "what you could have had thing?" or the, "you're so amazing I want to keep you around" thing! Either way, I think it's just simple human nature...not drama.
I used to say, if they could bottle new love or freshly brewed heartbreak…it would seriously be the biggest beauty marketing phenomenon since the days of Egyptian or Roman Empire Henna! One could count on it as an effective weight-loss aid (whether it be a motivator to get to the gym or a complete loss of appetite), a reason to buy cosmetics and the newest skincare treatments (no matter the cost), or even a complete change in style which may include an all new hair-do/cut/color/etc., a change in wardrobe or even a complete overhaul of one's personality, spirituality and intellect.
If you have found yourself in this precarious predicament (no matter the cause), you'll want to take note of a few of these beautifying must-have items that will indeed be just the right stuff!
Jan Marini C-ESTA Mask is a soothing, moisturizing and skin tightening mask which is nothing short of a skin care miracle in a tube! It's the proverbial 57 dollar facelift!
Calvin Klein's seductive fragrance, the aptly named Euphoria Eau de Parfum. It's so sexy, yet so versatile…it's light, yet long-lasting and a perfect scent for day or night!
And the final touch…a big pouty pair of lips! Talk about a one-way ticket to a man's heart or memory…depending on our reason for our recent motivation to up the (get beautiful) ante! For serious lip plumping action turn to Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme!
No drama here...only dramatic results!
