diamonds Civil War in Sierra Leone Civil War in Sierra Leone RUF The RUF (Revolutionary United Front) was known for murder, rape, mutilation, and recruiting child soldiers. At first, they were only interested in overthrowing Sierra Leone's corrupt government and bringing equality to it's people. However, they quickly became interested in only gaining power and taking over the diamond industry just like government they were trying to overthrow was. End of the War In 1999, the rebels behind the RUF seized parts of Freetown from Ecomog. After weeks of bitter fighting they agreed to a truce leaving behind 5000 dead. This truce than fell apart in 2000 when the rebels captured Freetown. In 2002, the war was officially declared over. The People of Sierra Leone The RUF affected Sierra Leone in many horrible ways and the people of Sierra Leone were left traumatized by all the things they witnessed the RUF do. The RUF maimed and killed their people. During the election for a new government the chopped people's hands off to stop them from voting. They amputated limbs of thousands, including children, using machetes and axes. They kidnapped and recruited child soldiers, and gave them cocain and other drugs to make them kill and maim others as well. Young girls were often taken as sex slaves. While some were escaped or freed, all the people of Sierra Leone were left traumatized. Diamonds Mining for Diamonds resulted in a change of Sierra Leone's Landscape Diamond miners in the Kono district of eastern Sierra Leone have left behind thousands of mining pits. Wildlife has vanished, topsoil has eroded, and land once suitable for farming is now a desolate moonscape. Abandoned mining pits have created a public health disaster as well. When the pits fill with stagnant rainwater, they become infested with mosquitoes, spreading malaria and other water-borne diseases. Former army corporal, Foday Sankoh and his Revolutionary United Front (RUF) begin to campaign against President Momoh (the president of Sierra Leone) by capturing towns on border with Liberia Diamonds form under extreme heat and pressure. This extreme heat and pressure in the earth transformed the carbon into crystals and turned it colorless. Although diamonds formed deep in the earth, volcanic activity is what brought them to the surface. Hence, these volcanic pipes have diamonds in them. Works Cited

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. It comes from the Norman personal name and was originally spelled Berte. That name is derived from the word berht, which means light. Hence the name could have been a nickname for someone who was "bright, clear or splendid" having derived from the Anglo Saxon word "beorht." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Burte Spelling Variations
Burte Spelling Variations
Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Burte family name include Burt, Burte, Birt, Burts, Berte, Burte, Birte and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Burte family to immigrate North America:

It's pretty clear that consumers are hesitant to buy professional video content much less amateur content. Given that I've sold exactly 13 copies of my "best of Nalts DVD" it's no surprise to me to see that Brightcove is abandoning its "pay for content" model:
On July 31, 2008, we plan to discontinue the Pay Media (Beta) functionality within Brightcove. The Pay Media functionality allows publishers to rent or sell their content directly to consumers. Since its beta release in January 2007, less than 1% of our customers have tried the feature and an even smaller percentage of our customers use it routinely. Given the minimal adoption of Pay Media and the feedback we have received from the market, we are going to discontinue this beta functionality.
Too bad. I was thinking about selling "White Bucks" for $250.

The UCLA Oral Surgery Team at Care Harbor LA 2015
Every year since 2009, UCLA physicians, dentists and ophthalmologists provide mammograms, fill cavities, complete cancer screenings, screen patients for glaucoma and cataracts and perform other health exams at the annual Care Harbor free clinic in Los Angeles.
UCLA's Department of Family Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine coordinates the UCLA effort, including the Jules Stein Eye Institute, which in 2011 provided free surgery to 10 patients and screened about 500 eye patients at risk for eye diseases such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
In 2011, the clinic, formerly called the CareNow Clinic, saw more than 3,500 patients over a four day period.
Care Harbor, a nonprofit organized in 2009, sponsors what it says are the largest free clinics in the country. These community-based events draw on local resources and volunteers, including hospitals, medical and dental schools, professional associations, community clinic networks and local healthcare agencies.

Experience the natural world in an exciting new way at – The Adventure Park at Virginia Aquarium. Kids (age 5+), teens, adults and groups can "take to the trees" above the Aquarium's Nature Paths and across Owls Creek on one of our many "treetop trails" with thrilling "crossings" between tree platforms. (Imagine zip lining over Owls Creek!) With various levels of challenge from beginner to expert, there is something for every skill level!
Suitable challenges for beginners through advanced climbers. The self-guided trails do not require previous climbing experience. After receiving a harness and a safety briefing, each climber selects a trail at their comfort level and then navigates its different "crossings" or "elements" moving from tree platform to tree platform. The trails include zip lines as well. All climbers wear safety harnesses that employ "double-clipped-on" technology to help keep the climber continuously connected to a safety cable throughout their time in the trees.
The Adventure Park is both fun and full of learning opportunities about nature and one's self. Families love sharing a climb together. For more information on how The Adventure Park at Virginia Aquarium can bring high-flying adventure to your family vacation, click here.

Greek official criticizes proposed Athens mosque referendum
Turkish Press
A proposal for holding a referendum on the building of a mosque in Athens will damage Greece's international reputation, a senior Greek official said Thursday.
In a written statement Yorgos Kalacis from the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, criticized the proposal from Aris Spiliotopoilos, the New Democracy Party's candidate for mayor of Athens at May's local elections.
Greek parliament approved a plan in 2011 to build a mosque in Athens, after demands from thousands of Muslim residents.

Jonathan Water Shower Purification System is rated out of 5 by 21.
Rated 5 out of 5 by GodLovesYou from Yes...best purchase ever from Qvc If you color your hair at all, this is the best item you will ever buy. I use the best products on my hair- the best shampoo. But nothing truly protects the color and condition of my hair like this filter. I noticed it the very first time I used it years ago and still do. My hair and skin both are noticeably never dry after showering and my color never fades (when combined with great shampoo as well). It's very clean pure water and if QVC ever stopped carrying it I would be devastated. Thank you Jonathan and thank you QVC!

Rated 1 out of 5 by nymom from Had opposite effect on me! I was looking forward to this water purification system for a while. Based on the reviews I was expecting a nice improvement in my hair. Unfortunately for me, with each wash my hair became more and more dried out. I tried switching hair products, leaving in more conditioner, etc. After a week I decided to take it off and go back to my normal water. While it is not perfect (the reason I was looking at this product in the first place) it is much better and softer. Too bad, I was hopeful!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JacquieL from LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I have looked at this for a WHILE, and now that I've had it a week...all I can think is: WHY DIDN'T I GET THIS SOONER!! From the first shower, my skin and hair were so much softer, and I got a compliment on my skin the next morning after my FIRST use!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsRoose from My 3rd one :) I Love these .. wish they would go on sale tho .. I have found that it all works better when the shower head is replaced often as well . so I try to buy the complete set once a year and new filter once every 6 months ..

Rated 5 out of 5 by Newkicks2012 from MY SKIN THANKS YOU! I have used this filter before and just purchased a second one. I absolutely love the way it makes my skin feel. The water feels so soft that I don't feel the need for body lotion because my skin isn't dry after a shower! I had actually purchased this for my hair but I must admit it is just as good for the body! Now, about that TSV with auto-delivery on the filters with free S & H...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Carolyn7777 from It's good It works. I've noticed some positive changes. My color treated hair is maintaining its color longer, plus my hair is softer and fuller looking ('sold' right there!). But my favorite part about this system is that it makes my hair look just like after I swim in a lake, or go to the mountains and shower with fresh water: soft, full of body and really clean. Just love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sk8Fan from Money well spent!!! If you have really hard water this is money well spent. To be honest if your water is already pretty good then you will probably not notice much of a difference.....but if it is VERY hard like mine is you will be very happy with your purchase. After living with extremely hard water for the last nine years I was desparate to try anything. Everyone noticed an IMMEDIATE difference in my hair and I noticed a big difference with my skin as well. If you have water like mine you will find yourself replacing the filter more often. With two people using it daily I replace mine every three months. This may sound like a lot of money but its not if you were like me trying all kinds of expensive salon shampoos. With this filter I can buy any drugstore shampoo and have great results. I have had mine for almost a year.....my only regret is that I didn't have it sooner.

Rated 1 out of 5 by 21stcentury from Don't be fooled Tested the filtered water with a water testing meter...and the filtered water has the same number of particles (parts per million/ppm) as my tap water which doesn't have a filter. Actually tested two of these filters which resulted in the same outcome. Would actually give it zero stars if that was an option.

I have been with my fiance for 4 years. But it seems the closer and closer we get to the wedding, the less and less he seems to appreciate me. We have drama on the side also. We disinvited his sister from the wedding because she is bipolar and harrassed me (threatening phone calls, facebook posts etc.) because she was convinced that I was going to steal her son away from her just like I stole her brother away. She has treated him (my fiance) like crap all his life. When we first got together he had really low self esteem. So I told him to stand up for himself. Which he did leading to her rampage on me and the disinvitation. Now his family keeps pressuring him to invite her. I could care less if he really wanted her to come, I mean its still his sister. But I don't like the fact his family is trying to strong arm him into inviting her. I also don't like the fact that his family doesn't consider my feelings in the equation either. I am going to be his wife so they should also consider not only his feelings but mine also. I mean she cursed our wedding, and said she hoped that we get divorced or that I die. I don't really want someone like that in the front row on our special day. If she disapproves our union then she shouldn't be there. I want to allow her to come for the sake of my fiance, but shouldn't his family respect our wishes? Should I have the right to tell him not to invite his sister? Should he understand? I don't know I'm lost. But it seems to me he is paying less and less attention to me since the ordeal. He isn't as loving anymore...like he just knows ill be his forever so why put in the effort anymore...And whenever I try to talk to him about it he freaks out...tells me I'm overreacting...but if he can't regard my feelings and stand up for them...how are we going to make a marriage work? Or is this just the curse of his sister coming true? I am at a loss. I love him more then air...but I can't spend a marriage with someone else, feeling alone...sigh what should I do?
Most Helpful Guy
It's really hard on your part if your in a situation were a family member of your future husband is against your relationship specially the marriage..Your making your guy choose over you and his sister.But the truth is at the end of the day, in your current relationship the 2 of your are the ones who is there to help and understand each other..both of you handle the relationship..not the relatives..If your guy doesn't understand that knowing she will ruin the wedding you better thinks of calling it off.. so what if she says she will jinx or ruin the marriage if your guy can't put a socket to her sister's runts you won't have a decent marriage..Some couple go the distance just to prove to their families that they want each other and make things work..Unless he stands up for you marrying him won't be worth it but if you still want this to work try to cancel this or postpone the wedding before you regret any decisions further..You can't make his sister like you..if she acts like a psychopath then leave her alone..your relationship is not with her but his brother11|00|0
Give her the opposite and let her show up at the reception or whatever, just don't stoop down to her level and be cordial..if she is there to ruin things up then I guess she will have a problem with her brother and your future in-laws..no need to block her from coming just focus with your festivities on the occasion..Advance congratulations

Heidelberg overhauls financing to cut borrowing costs
Company partially redeems high-yield bond gaining greater room for manoeuvre in future
Germany: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is improving its financing structure, the company announced on 14 March.
The print giant said it has decided to redeem a further sum of around EUR64.5m from a high-yield bond (with a coupon of 9.25%), which runs to 2018 and currently totals about EUR115m.
Issued in 2011 with an original volume of some EUR300m, the bond was a key element in using long-term capital market instruments to diversify the company's financing and has gradually been repaid since then.
The latest repayment is being made from cash on hand and the annual interest saving of around EUR6m will have a positive impact on the financial result, said Heidelberg.
As well as investing in growth areas such as the digital and services sectors, the company is thus also in a position to further strengthen its financing structure. As part of the reorientation of Heidelberg, reducing the level of debt will create additional options for the company's strategic further development.
"We are continuously working on optimising our financing framework step by step," said CFO Dirk Kaliebe. "Thanks to the annual savings, we have succeeded in giving the company greater financial scope for making acquisitions and investing in growth and innovation."
The early redemption will take place by means of a public announcement with effect from 15 April with a redemption value of about 102.3%.

First of all, yes, I realize I'm a crappy blogger. However, in my defense, I've been juggling writing, working, school, working, writing, and studying things that almost literally make my brain hurt. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to force a brain and set of senses that evolved in a three-spatial dimension universe where the fourth dimension is a connected tunnel that can be traversed only in one direction (without technology) into thinking the way that a being from a universe with four spatial dimensions and two temporal dimensions which, when gravity is in play, can be traversed either linearly or in a punctiliar manner?
It makes me dizzy. I have actually tipped over and fallen out of my chair a few times doing this. I have a note reminding me to revert back to native mode before standing because, if I don't, I will fall on my ass.
At any rate, did you miss me?
In my time on this planet, I've learned that I, like most of my acquaintances and friends, am something of an acquired taste. Then I started realizing that the handful of people I consider close friends all have things in common with me that causes the world to eye the lot of us in askance. We get hit with a lot of labels — weird, strange, odd, eccentric, sociopath, psychopath — but the truth is none of those things can tell the whole tale.
We are an acquired taste unless you are one of us.
For example, on my Facebook wall, there have been multiple discussions ranging from topics including Sherlock's likelihood of hooking up with various characters from the show. No arguments, mind, but simple discussions drawing evidence, examples, and data. It's extremely calm compared to the fandom "discussions" that take place over at Tumblr where, if you so much as point out a single in-universe inconsistency with someone's OTP, you will get flamed.
That's why I don't hang out on Tumblr much.
Other discussions have included which NuWho companion is the most awesome (Donna and then Clara). There's also been discussion over how to protect flags on the Moon so that they won't lose their color so quickly, methods for getting off the planet and establishing a lunar base, a general shared disdain for authoritarians of all stripes, general smart-assery, and making fun of idiots. I really only have a core of about ten people who regularly pay much mind to what I post because most of it just isn't of interest to the vast majority of my Facebook "friend" roll.
All of this got me thinking about why there are so few people like me and these others. I mean, we're all probably well above average in intelligence (which gives us an evolutionary leg up). Most of us are healthy and can do useful things (shooting, repairs, computer programming). We're also pretty good at communicating and do know how to make friends. We're just turned off by the vast majority of humanity because they don't interest us. However, unless our traits are all recessive (which they very well could be; I'm not up on the biology and hereditary nature of intelligence and cognitive processing), there should be a lot more of us. Maybe there are and we simply haven't found them because we're limited by our language (my friends all speak English or French though I can generally muddle my way through German, Italian, and Spanish when it's written down). Maybe it's because there are so few of us that the likelihood, in the pre-Internet era, of us stumbling across each other was rather small so we didn't and generally wound up either never marrying or marrying "normal" people who could tolerate our quirks and whatever it is in our genetics (if anything) didn't make it to the next generation to the degree that it is present in us.
Yeah, I think about weird stuff. Get over it.
This also leads me to wonder just how large a game-changer the Internet is going to wind up being with regards to human evolution. Now that those of us who are a bit on the quirky but brainy side can find each other, the likelihood of two of our kind meeting and having children together increases. That may increase the chance that our kind's offspring inherits whatever (if anything genetic) it is that makes us "tick." Play this out through a few generations and, by the middle of the next century, we may be living in a very different world simply because the skills, traits, and tendencies that under-gird social interactions now may no longer be as relevant in the future. I'm not certain if this is good or bad but I am certain that it's going to be very fucking interesting.

This past weekend when I was at my mom's, I saw that my dad had a video cam that was the same format as our old one and she let me borrow it. Found our wedding reception... difficult child 1 when he was a toddler, and a very funny one of the three kiddos, aged 5.5, 3.5 and 1 dancing in the livingroom. They were sooooo funny and soooo cute! Sigh. Why can't they stay that way forever?

Most Effective Ways to Overcome the Headache of Water Damage Repairs
If you or someone you know has recently experienced water damage, you know
how difficult the situation can be. The situation itself can be extremely stressful,
but the outcome after it's over shows the real damage. Flooding in a home can
destroy countless items in you belonging. Many of them may be irreplaceable
such as family heirlooms, photos, videos or more. The devastation can be
overwhelming. However, while some things may not be able to be replaced,
your home can almost always be saved.
If you have insurance, your worries may not be quite as bad, although waiting
on a check for your claim could feel like it takes forever. But instead of using
that time for worrying, you should try to mitigate the damage done in the first
place. Follow these tips for keeping your home as dry as possible after a flood
or burst pipe.
Floods may be disheartening as you can't simply "turn them off," however, if
your problem is water leak from a pipe or other source, shut off the flow of
water as soon as possible. If not, a hidden leak may continue to flood your
home without you even realizing it!
Removing Standing Water
If any considerable amount of water has built up, removing it is the next
before you can even start the restoration process. The longer the water sits in
the house, the worse the damage will become. The old bucket approach will
not be very effective nor fast, therefore, is this best done with Shop-Vacs or
similar equipment to suck the water out in as little time as possible.
Removing and Documenting Damaged Property
Once all of the water is completely gone, the damaged property must also go.
Even if it wasn't damaged by the water, it should still be removed to make
room for the restorations. Everything that does seem damaged should be
documented for your insurance claims to ensure you get all your money back.
After the entire affected area is cleaned out and ready to be restored like new,
you'll need to find a construction company that has experience in repairing
water damage. A safe bet for water damage repair is IPC Restoration and
Renovation. They do all types of restoration project for clients suffering from
recent disasters. Whether the water damage was only a small leak or ruined
the entire home, IPC can fix the problem even if that means replacing the
entire structure! Their services and examples can be found listed here
Adjusting After the Experience
Flooding or general water damage can be extremely stressful. At times, it
may be difficult to see thing going back to normal in the future but they will
with time. By the time the restoration work is done, the insurance should
have replaced your lost belongings with all new ones and you'll be back to
living life in your home once again as usual.

UK Casino Bonus Offers
Casino Bonus Bob reviews all the very best new online casino bonus offers available to UK players.
The UK online casino industry is big and growing, so there are new and updated casino bonus offers introduced daily. So how do you know which is a good offer and which to avoid? Should you take a no deposit bonus or a free spins no deposit bonus? There is a lot to consider.
A casino with a UK Gambling Commission licence is a good start but it's not enough. The first thing we carefully examine are the terms and conditions of each bonus. The bonus is then compared to offers available at other casinos. Equally, the reputation of the casino is important and so is the quality of the customer service available…and much more besides.
Casino Bonuses – A Quick Overview
There a few things to consider with every casino bonus:
Wagering Requirements
Almost every bonus comes with wagering requirements (WR). The WR means the number of times that the bonus must be gambled before you can withdraw any winnings. A good deal has a low wagering requirement. An average WR is 35x.
Matched Bonus (%)
A higher matched bonus generally means a better bonus. So 200% up £100 is better than 100% up to £200. But then you have those pesky wagering requirements…let us guide you.
Bonus games
Bonus terms vary depending on the game that you want to use them on. So the bonus might be a better deal on slots than live casino or classic table games.
Types of Casino Bonus
There are a wide range of casino bonus offers promoted by online casinos.
Bonuses for New Players
Online casinos are desperate to attract new players so they offer great introductory bonuses to tempt you to visit them. These bonuses are ideal for casino rookies but are also available to experienced players hunting for better deals.
No Deposit Bonus: Open a new account with a casino and a no deposit bonus gives you free spins or free casino credits just for signing up. These tend to have high wagering requirements.
Free Spins: Most players love free spins on slots. These are usually attached to real-money deposits and can be part of a welcome package, as part of a new slot launch or with a weekly promotion.
Welcome Bonus: Most casinos will offer you a welcome bonus with your first real-money deposit. These give you extra funds to extend your play and tend to come with lower wagering requirements. Some welcome packages offer matched bonuses with your first few desposits.
Bonuses for Existing Players
Online casinos also offer regular promotions to their existing players.
Prize Draw: Holidays, cars and cash prizes are all on offer in online casino prize draws. Entry into the draw is usually offered after reaching a set level of play.
Loyalty Bonuses: Just like your local supermaket, most online casinos have a customer loyalty program. Rewards can range from free spins to prize draw entry and can be quite generous.
Reload Bonuses: A re-load bonus is effectively a matched deposit bonus. So your real-money deposit will be matched by the casino at a set percentage. Generally, the percentage is not as generous as the welcome package for new players.
Frequently Asked Questions
You probably have lots of questions but here are the most popular:
What is a wagering requirement?
The wagering requirement is the amount that you need to bet with the bonus before you can withdraw any winnings. This is expressed as a multiple.
So a 35x wagering requirement with £10 bonus money would require you to bet a total of £350 before you could withdraw any winnings.
What games can I play using my bonus?
This will vary between bonus offers but most casinos will let you play a range of slots, classic table games or live casino with your bonus. The wagering requirement that apply will depend on the type of game you are playing using the bonus. Slots usually contribute 100% towards the wagering requirement whilst video poker and table games tend to contribute less.
Can I withdraw the full bonus amount without playing?
No. You will normally only be able to withdraw a set amount and you must pass the wagering requirement to do so.
Make sure that you check the terms and conditions for every bonus before you play.
You can find out more about online casinos and casino bonus offers on our Glossary and Frequently Asked Questions pages.

If Mitt Romney had a dollar for every piece of debate advice he has received in recent days, the Republican nominee would be a far richer man than he already is.
The abundance of unsolicited pointers is illustrative of the make-or-break proposition Mr. Romney faces as he takes on President Barack Obama in their first presidential debate on Wednesday. The encounter at the University of Denver could be one of the GOP hopeful's last chances to reverse the course of a campaign that is steadily trending Mr. Obama's way.
As many as 60 million Americans are expected to tune in for the 90-minute debate on domestic issues. Jim Lehrer of PBS, moderating his 12th presidential debate, will lead the candidates through a discussion on the economy, health care and the role of government.
Despite their differences on policy, Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama are similar politicians. Both prefer to talk about facts and figures rather than about what makes them tear up or tick. Both are studies in self-control who prefer written scripts over spontaneity.
The debate could go to the candidate who most forces the other outside his comfort zone.
Who has the most to gain/lose?
Judging by the way each candidate and most of his surrogates have been attempting to play down debate expectations in recent days, neither Mr. Romney nor Mr. Obama wants to be seen as the favourite. In a debate without major blunders by either, a candidate's failure to live up to expectations could make some voters rethink their support.
"Governor Romney, he's a good debater. I'm just okay," Mr. Obama mused at a campaign rally on Sunday before holing up for intensive "debate camp" in suburban Las Vegas, where Democratic Senator John Kerry has played Mr. Romney in practice sessions.
In reality, far more voters are betting on Mr. Obama than on his rival to win the debate. In a Pew Research Center poll released Monday, fully 51 per cent of voters picked the President to "do a better job" in the debate. Only 29 per cent picked Mr. Romney to win. A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday showed a similar result, with 54 per cent picking Mr. Obama to prevail; Mr. Romney was chosen to win by only 28 per cent.
As a result, Mr. Obama has more to lose going into the first debate. He is already ahead in the polls in almost every critical swing state. But as much as that gives him an incentive to play it safe in the debate – sticking to his prepared script regardless of the questions or Mr. Romney's attacks – he must also ensure he lives up to voter expectations.
"Because he tends to be behind, Mitt Romney has more to gain from the debates," explained William Benoit, a communications professor and debate expert at Ohio University. Mr. Romney failed to get any momentum from what his campaign hoped would be the first two "pivot points" of the race – choosing his vice-presidential running mate and making a memorable convention speech. That means the first debate, traditionally the most watched of the three, has taken on added urgency for him.
Mr. Romney has an incentive to take more risks, and be more aggressive, than Mr. Obama. The Republican nominee has had plenty of formal debate preparation in recent months – Ohio Senator Rob Portman has played Mr. Obama in those practice sessions – and aides have indicated he has prepared "a series of zingers" to attack Mr. Obama.
Still, the Romney campaign has played down New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie's Sunday comment, according to which the debate would "change the entire narrative of this race." Why set expectations you are not sure you can meet?
What are their strengths and vulnerabilities?
With one debate line in 2008 – "You're likeable enough, Hillary" – Mr. Obama exposed one of his biggest weaknesses. He can come off as smug, never more so than when he is debating someone he does not particularly like. And he reportedly likes Mr. Romney even less than Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic nomination in 2008.
Mr. Romney could try to provoke outbursts of condescension from Mr. Obama, who is still considered the more likeable of the two by voters. That is why Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen, writing on CNN.com, had this advice for Mr. Obama: "Stay nice. No 'You're likeable enough' comments; no jokes about dogs on top of the car; no snarking about how rich Romney is; no patronizing lectures when he has his facts wrong."
That may be a tall order for the President. On the campaign trail, he has repeatedly ridiculed Mr. Romney for once driving to Canada with his Irish setter strapped to the car roof, harped about his rival's wealth and berated the GOP nominee for playing loose with the facts.
Still, Mr. Obama has an opportunity to solidify the narrative about Mr. Romney as a profit-driven corporate raider. He could slip in references to his controversial record at private equity firm Bain Capital and the emergence of a video in which the GOP nominee slams the 47 per cent of Americans who do not pay income taxes.
Mr. Obama's biggest challenge will be avoiding putting voters to sleep. He tends to give long, windy replies where short, snappy ones would help him make his point better.
"If Mr. Obama faces any risk in this debate it is taking the bait – slipping back and trying to persuade voters that his first term was successful and the U.S. is on the right track," Stanley Greenberg, a former presidential debate coach to Bill Clinton and Al Gore, wrote in the Financial Times.
Indeed, Mr. Romney will try to put the President on the defensive. But the GOP nominee must also avoid having to defend his past comments or record, and instead focus on what he intends to do to get the economy moving. Or as Mr. Greenberg put it: "Lay off the welfare state and lay out bold conservative policies to boost business and jobs."
Though he is stiff on the campaign trail, Mr. Romney was effective during the Republican primary debates, making short shrift of Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich when he needed to. As long as he executed the plan he and his debate coaches laid out in practice, Mr. Romney did well. But his spontaneous remarks, such as challenging Mr. Perry to a $10,000 bet, got him in trouble.
"Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney are both better when they're on script. Neither of these guys is particularly good in the moment," noted Allan Louden, chair of the communications department at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. "That could make for a rather staid debate. But my guess is that each is going to try to get the other to go off script for that reason."
What is the potential impact on the race?
Given the personalities and debating styles of each of the candidates, most pundits are not expecting the Obama-Romney encounters to go down as classics. After all, almost no one remembers Mr. Obama's duels with John McCain in 2008. Pundits may pine for a major blunder – such as Gerald Ford's denial of Soviet domination of Eastern Europe in 1976 or Mike Dukakis's impassive 1988 reply to question involving his wife's hypothetical rape and murder. They should not hold their breath.
"The likelihood that campaigners with this much experience will make huge gaffes is probably very low," Ohio University's Prof. Benoit said. "But you don't need to change attitudes toward one candidate to prevail. You just need to strengthen existing attitudes, making people more likely to vote for you and donate to your campaign. And the first debate usually has a greater effect than the others in this regard."
Still, unless Mr. Romney is an obvious loser, he could benefit from the media's desire to depict the contest as a horse race. That is why many Democrats are already warning against the post-debate spin that declares Mr. Romney the winner.
Indeed, winning the post-debate spin cycle has become as critical as winning the debate itself. Mr. Gore discovered that in 2000. The depiction of his performance as full of "sighs and lies" stuck even though overnight polls after the first debate suggested the Democratic nominee was the winner. Mr. Gore went into the debates five percentage points ahead of Mr. Bush but slipped five points behind his Republican rival after the encounters.
If there is an obvious loser on Wednesday night, Prof. Louden suggested he will be able to take consolation in the fact that, in a multi-platform media world, debates may be declining in importance: "Unless something dramatic happens, the afterlife of any debate has been shortened by all the [media] competition."

Johannesburg - Award-winning photographer Alf Kumalo has taken a man to court for calling him a "bloody kaffir" in a restaurant and threatening to hurt him, according to a report on Monday.The Star newspaper said the incident happened on January 29 at the Ocean Basket in Sunninghill, Johannesburg."This is about history and respect. I have to go through with this," Kumalo reportedly said.The Star newspaper quoted restaurant manager Romalin Moodley as saying the trouble started when he approached a man in the restaurant to quieten down.He was apparently shouting profanities while watching the Australian Open.Moodley said the man continued to be loud and aggressive.Kumalo approached him and said: "With all this noise, how do you expect us to eat?"The man then called Kumalo a "bloody kaffir" and threatened to hit him with a wine bottle.Kumalo laid a charge of crimen injuria and the case was heard in the Randburg Magistrate's Court last week and postponed to March 27 for further investigation.Kumalo is the curator of the Alf Kumalo Museum and has a photography school in Soweto.
Good for you Elf, I hope he gets what he deserves ( a big fine or a long stunt in jail )
yip loud drunken idiots... realy have no time for them.
one thing i must say though, the article does call out the race card holders to start racialy motivated fights. it wasnt an article about "james peterson is taking a drunken man to court for swearing at is 5yr old son" but rather mr kuhmalo is taking loud racist to court...
Financial strength and perceived affluence will not cover ill manners low morals and ill cultured individuals in any race. Theres a lot like him going around unfortunately excessive drinking does expose them - like they say " in vino veritas"
Clearly the behaviour was atrocious but I just dont agree with the method for correction.
Why not? It has already been proved that asking nicely did not have the desired result.
What do you suggest?
what punishment do you recommend?
The best way I would think would be to get up and leave, or preferably to ask the restaurant manager to sort out his patrons. it cannot be that we get into this mindset of using the law to fight our battles. we are all grown ups, we do unfortunately from time to time face tossers like this, running to the police is simply not an option.
The restaurant owner is an Indian, do you think this ill-mannered man would have had more respect for him? No, because he doesn't even have respect for himself. Why must people who can't stand noisy and disruptive people leave rather than try to get the disruptive party to quiet down a little so that everyone can enjoy their time out?
TJK, you are wrong. The accused called the cops. The best way is not to get up and leave. If i had chosen to treat myself or/and my family at OB,why should I sacrifice a nice dinner because some idiot feels the need to be well, an Idiot.
Jaded, treating people like this is in fact criminal behavior. Deemed so by our constitution. It is an infringement of a person's fundamental rights. Sadly, this behavior will not stop if people aren't made to feel ashamed and punished for doing something unacceptable in society. This man felt that it was acceptable to use this disgusting racial slur, to treat another human being like this. he and the entire country must be shown that this is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in a democratic society.
Shows how far back in history(even beyond apartheid) South Africans are still living...just call someone with a k-word for asking you to lower your voice...
Racial utterings are only acceptable when uttered by the ruling party.
Would you feel the same if a black person called whites pink pigs? Because I've been seen that name being mentioned often lately. Racism goes both ways
Who said it was okay to attack others with racial slurs...even jim paid a price for his speech malfunction and I believe so should this guy get his medicine.
What I like about South Africa is that judiciary doesn't discreminate when it comes to matters like this...
Kevin, you are well within your rights to lay a complaint should you wish to. Afriforum took Malema to task for his racist views and behavior.
I often wonder if someone would ever try to have BEE declared unconstitutional. Not being eligible for a job because of your color is discrimination, an illegal and direct violation of constitutional rights.
What makes SA so special that we expect that we have no racists?? People get WAAAaayyy to sensitive when it comes to this subject and it ends up been blown completely out of proportion. Let the man use his legal rights to enforce his right to dignity/respect. As the the accused, if found guilty they should make public who he is and he should face the full brunt of the law, make him go clean up in the townships so he can see the ordeal people do go through in SA.
I have been fortunate to live in many countries and surprise, surprise, every time it was mentioned that I was South African, the local racists climb out the woodwork.
So don't expect this to become a model country, it never will.
Why was the TV on in the first place?
Tacky restaurant.
How many restaurants have tvs these days? If you want a good quiet and relaxing dining experience stay away from the likes of Spur. Rather pay the extra and tackiness you will not get.
Let's see the comments now because when it was the lady in the gym you guys said the insult was justified as she was the instigator by making noise. Shoe is on the other foot now. Well its Bab' Kumalo's right to go through with this and this has to stop! As young as I am I've had more than one of these experiences and it was my white friends that encouraged me to take matters further so I don't ever resent white people in the future because they aren't all the same.
Vuks01 think we are all the same. Read his comment above. I also can't stand loud mouthed drunks. No reason to call Alf that word, but I think we are to sensitive about name calling. Where does the "k....r" word come from and what does it mean? When I hear the "niger" word, I think that this guy must come from Nigeria or from the country Niger.
Thank you Nonku, we aren't all the same and thank goodness for that.
There is an old saying "there but for the Grace of God go I" and that is so true. Just hope the atheists won't be on my case now.
Great comment !!!
And so good to see, that for most,
this kind of behavior is totally unacceptable !!!!!1
I'm a European white and I had to put up with drunken sports louts like this, who feel they have the right to verbally abuse and threaten others. Take him to the cleaners. Brawn gets handled by the police now, only intellect has any place in the future.
What on earth is a European white?.
A white person who hails from europe/whose parents or ancestors hail from europe or who just identifies himself as such,no big deal
@ Jacqui. Go to Europe and see how many "black" Europeans there are. Just as I consider myself a white African.
African black
I see almost daily there is an article about racism, racism is like sex, they sell
soon will start my own daily paper called "The Daily Racist", will sell like condoms at a brothel
@Elle, but you fall for it everytime as I see you commenting furiously on them at times... in your own little racist way.. :)
Kick his ass Alf!!
this is unacceptable, but its happens both ways, thanks to Mr Malema, another unacceptable incident last week were the taxi driver racially insulting the cops when they arrested him for driving drunk without a license.
The restaurant manager/staff should have dealt with the loud and unruly client.
Absolutely agree. Had same thing happen to me as well; also at Ocean Basket, Waverley, Pretoria. Horrible white jerk, swearing non-stop while chatting to the manager. My asking him to stop, just made it worse. The manager did not utter a sound or lift a finger. Guess what? I've never went back to that restaurant.
if the cap fits, wear it!!!!!
i suspect your cap is a tad to tight
Yeah why not, he can wear an orange one in prison.
storm in a tea cup. when will they ever get over it. what about bee and affirmative action racist policies, the whities have been hoodwinked and they actually believe it shame on the poor poor people. vooitog hulle is mos nog steeds kinders
Until someone calls you "pig skinned" then you will also cry like a baby
I don't cry, I usually just say "munkisezwut?"
Dumb@ss says what?
News 24 has 2 kinds of people commenenting: the Objective comments that are non-racist and want justice for another human irrespective of race AND the Racist Comments who Are racist and always use Malema as an excuse 4 supporting "white racists"/ that man should be taught a lesson that racists will not be tolerated!!! Even if it where a black being racist towards a white they should be dealt with, the guy asked him nicely to calm down!!!!
Hear Hear! Absolutely correct. People comment without looking at the issue on it's own merrit and generaly speak from an us against them point of view.
Just another story that will make the divide between south africans even greater....
This behaviour cannot be tollerated, but if it is to insinuate that only whites are racist, it is not true. A lot of racist slurs against whites are prevalent in the black community.
I'm going to make it easier for you & ask you to name just one.
I agree, name one..we are waiting.
I think you should name one if you have one Andre, because I'm black and i have no idea what you are talking about.
On another note, if you are white/coloured/indian and subjected to racism from another group then report it!! It's not being a pansy, it's taking a stand with regards to your dignity as a human being not to be subjected to such.
Sazi, pig skin for instance?. Don't try and be holier than thou.
Pink Devils,
Sotho's using the same adjective for inanimate objects as for white people.
So Jacqui I presume those that say the K word is our generic name are holier as well??
Jacqui, r u serious?. You cannot compare the "k..." word which has 500 years of oppression behind it....
Racism is racism Ismail. Are you now trying to say that its ok as long as iots not the 'k' word? When is this country going to stop surfing the 'apartheid wave' and move on?
do you know that a soccer ball is called pig skin?anyway I am yet to hear my black friends/family utter a racist slur.The worse I have heard is calling someone a dog,which makes no reference to race.
Lets face it,during apartheid white kids were taught to be racists by uncles,parents,teachers,the rev at NGK etc.Black families never embarked on an elaborate scheme of imprinting racist views on their kids.However due to the inhuman treatment from whites(in general)during apartheid,some started to resent white south africans,which may be interpreted as black racism.I repeat,non of my friends,family etc grew up with a superiority complex over whites or a general hatred for them.
Seriously? You comparing insulting names?? Good grief, grow up you lot..!!
We are not comparing. We were asked for examples because the dude thought none existed.
@Koo....Surfing the apartheid wave?....So everything that the oppressed went through, the horror, the terror, the violence of the "k..."...is just an excuse????....r u serious?....are you that ignorant?....Yes, racism is racism in the dictionary, but you cannot compare it when it comes to the mindsets of people......yes, its easy for you to say racism is racism, tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people emotionally scarred, hurt, the violence, the deaths as a result of apartheid - and you wanna tell me racism is racism....? Would you really be saying that if you had personally experienced apartheid?.....No....
I get called an Emperialist and Settler every day and I'm not suing anyone?
Was it used against your people for the past 50 years?
Sazi, probably longer.
What is this 'your people'?. Are you their leader?.
Geez, stop steaming.
Exactly Sazi...you cannot compare the 500 years of racism, oppression to a simple "imperialist" comment.....Dont you white racists get it?....
where do you get 500 years from?
Ismail. 1) Where do you get 500 years from? Are you from the year 2462? 2) Who are you labeling white racists? A whole bunch of people you DON'T KNOW? So, you are telling me your are making a blanket call over a bunch of people you don't know personally, purely based on the color of their skin. Do you not see the irony in that?
@Hi Jack ....are ur people not Settlers?
@Kgolane, so are yours.
Kgolane, just like "your" people are settlers, the only difference is you came without a boat. You were at war and had to retreat to southern africa.
Learn your own history dammit!
@kgolane if you so wish the bantu nation are settlers too.
@Koo...you are obviously as ignorant as i thought? Are you really gonna ask where 500 years comes from? Are you serious?....that is frankly ,laughable.....Go read up on history you poor ignorant soul....
@HIJack....yet another ignorant party?.....i was told that news24 had a bunch of ignorant persons, who deny the past - BUT this is just astounding.....Do you knwo how long the "K....." word has been used....heres a start point for you.....in certain of our SA archives you will find ship logs of the original slave ships that brought slaves from all over the world, (does the word slave ships ring a bell as to what century i am speaking of) to SA....go and check what the slaves were named....all names were started off as "K..."....and surname ".....".....Only an idiot who does not know the history of oppression and the significance of the "K..." word would make such ignorant comments.....please go read up on your SA history (true SA history, not what the apartheid govt taught you)....
The racial slur issue aside, Alf had every right to ask the man to quieten down - especially as he was also using bad language. The Ocean Basket is not a sports bar. I guess Alf behaved like a gentleman - he should've given the a.h. a snot squirt!
He should have licked the man's prawns.
Oh hell is sunninghill the capital of racist..Big up Alf but when Malema called Indian koolies or as said amakulas it was justified a sorry was good enough..Why cant we have equality all round instead of power passes when suitable...White black brown whatever everyone should be reprimanded equally...
There is no room in SA for that kind of HATE SPEECH. People who use racial slurs ruin it for the rest of us. I hate when I judge an entire race by the actions of a few, but I catch myself doing it - it's a gut reaction and it works both ways. We are still at a sensitive stage when it comes to race and it's soon to tell people to just get over it.
Where the hell has the moral fiber of the world gone to? It has NOTHING to do with chilling, illiteracy, skin color, racial prejudices etc. These are reasons we go to war, enslave, cause extinction, pollute and commit genocide. What if we all just loved our neighbors with the respect that they earned, loved the earth with the respect it needed...Surely the world would be a better, safer place for our children...or don't we care about them either?
What charming behaviour!
If i was Alf i would have taken a few photo's of a near extinct species, so rare these days, but alas, dying from an incurable disease, only contagious if you are affected by their behaviour so beware Alf, you might become a racist by taking that man to court and in doing so secure their survival for our children to marvel, thank you for conserving our heritage Alf, you're a freakin hero.
As I said above, any person of any race should report it if they are subjected to racism. No one thinks you are a coward...I don;t mind being called black (because i am) but it also depends very much on the context and tone which it is said in. People must stop advocating racism because Malema did this or Jimmy did that, screw that!! All racism must be exposed and punished, finished and klaar!
Its so funny how people made comments about the lady at the Virgin Active gym, that she 'deserved' it, now when a white person makes noise disrupting others, its also 'justified'?? Just make up your small minds!!
Thankx 4 pointing that out...Some whites are trying to justify this one also (opposing their comments on da Virgin Active article)
Um, Sazi,I have read and reread the comments looking for where people say it is "justified" and mostly what I have seen is white people supporting Alf and saying go for it, sue the bastard. Get over yourself.
Why is it that these places all think they have to have the television on or worse lots of darn music?.
Surely the manager should have dealt with this problem. If he had kicked the man out like he deserved this would never have happened.
Come to think of it, why is it that fellow patrons seem to think it is right to have loud conversations on their cellphones while sitting next to me?. I am not interested and wish they will keep quiet. Now I do tell them that and some even have enough manners to apologize. Others think I am from another planet, and that is soooooooo nice of them to notice the difference between them and me..
Well done Alf. Make an example of him. I am born here and Afrikaans, and a proud Euro-African. No, NOT white because my arm does NOT dissapear when I put it on a piece of A4 Bond thank-you very much.
Calling someone a k****r is NEVER ok, never was ok, never should be ok and if going to court is what it will take to say that loud and clear then I will be in the front row supporting you Alf. You make me proud.
All the fuss for a derogatory word that doesn't even exist in the dictionary! whilst there is so much injustice
oppression and unlawfulness going on now than ever before. Shame on you.
He was not ONLY racially insulted, but also threatened with physical harm. We all deal with these issues differently and Alf kumalo feels this is the way he wishes to deal with it.
I remember from my days working at Spur how awful Saturday nights could become when there was a Stormers (I live in the WC) or Springbok game on. These idiots would sit around drinking for two hours and screaming at the top of their lungs. An especially unpleasant side-effect of this rugby and drinking is that the waitresses are seen as "extra entertainment".
If you can't function in a social setting, you should do the honourable thing and stay home. Besides, the food and drinks bill is usually about the same as a month's DSTV subscription.
I don't agree with suing the man, but he definitely deserved to be smacked around and (literally) thrown out of the restaurant. I had the pleasure of using a stun gun on one of these guys one evening. It was the high point of my three-year career as a waiter.
But on that note: anyone who gets excited about a tennis match is probably a poof and could have been dealt with without breaking a sweat.
Agreed. I was at a small Primi Piatti where two youngsters, not even paying customers, were watching rugby. The one in particular, arrogant looking, was shouting at the top of his lungs, huffing and puffing at every move. I left there with a massive headache. I'm fine with people enjoying the match, but there are limits.
I will be glad to bring my stun gun along if you need assistence in the future.
Sue the bastard, there is no place in SA for people like that!
Make this fool pay
Pay for what exactly?
For slander..
What is the market value of slander? How do you quantify it? is it measured in grams? units? liters? Square meters?
How much for 90dB of slander?
gees and i thought only black people were racist
Den, you've missed something over the past 18 years - there is no such thing as a balck racist in SA - it's a one way street. Not that I condone it either way but when last did you read about a fuss when a white has been called a 'white pig'? When a white kills a black it's a racist killing - when a black kills a white it's just plain crime. At the end of the day, murder is murder, it doesn't have to be labelled any other way - and common behaviour is exactly that. Glad though that Alf has taken a stand against the 'white pig'.
Well done Alf Kumalo, go through with it all the way, some people
have no respect!
I'm sick of some white people who behave like total a$$holes and when they are asked to behave they get all huffy. I hope this guy learns something out of this, though people like him doesn't, they always blame others. Point is, everyone is sick of this political and racial environment, actions like these makes it worst and it's unnecessary.
WHy do you hold white people to a different standard?
So true Riette...
Why only white people, are you ashamed of your breeding? is it only whites that behave like this? Just asking. When we are called F.. Boers we don't go squealing because some of us are proud of our heritage, unlike you, it seems!
Whilst not condoning the insulting language used by an obviously drunk man, Khumalo should not have got involved. The manager should have got the customer to behave under threat of banning him and calling the police if he got no joy.
By the way, none of the trolls at Luthuli house compained when Malema called a reporter a bloody agent and have the police remove him and when he sings 'kill the boare'. Or how about when he said it is not rape if the woman gets taxi fare and breakfast afterwards?
He has been expelled,webantu kanti what do you want Grant?
Grant, there is no justification for racism regardless from which quarter it comes.
Black people constantly direct racial slurs at white people in the work place. But they do so in their native languages and thus go undetected.
@ Lif and ofcourse you have a masters in native languages so you are ablt to pick it up right?
Maybe if you decided to educate yourself by learning the "native" language things would better for you don't you think??
@Elle/Sazi, I agree! Eeek, believe it or not! @Lif, are you fluent in any of those languages?
'm black and 'm yet to find a racial slur word against other races- yes they might exist but i honestly can't think of any- the only slur words i know are about homosexuals
@Sazi The apartheid government thought you would be better off knowing the native language called Afrikaans. But when they tried to teach you it you rioted and eventually had the government overthrown because of it. Just a little history lesson. Use it, don't use it...
now this isn't funny anymore!!
Honestly, is every little comment going to go to court now - grow up and tell the dude to F-off.
Gosh...why can't people just get along with one another...
Really!!! Wow!!! People give yourselfs a pat on the back, well done!!! YALL DECIDED TO BE HUMAN TODAY.
As to all the vitriolic comments about "naming and shaming". Do your own homework - 30s on Google and the correction of a stupid spelling mistake - it's not rocket science
"With all this noise, how do you expect us to eat?- what a stupid question..!!! You eat with your mouth whether there is noise or not. The photographer was just looking for attention. Shame..
Don't give up your day job..
Wow Kgolane, really? Tell me, how does it feel to be a complete moron? You do know that the NP only enjoyed a 56% vote? Yup, only 56%, they never ever won by a majority.. You obviously don't go out often do you? To assume MOST WHITE PEOPLE are racist is evidence of yours because you clearly do not know many white people... You are the weakest link, goodbye.
Point Blank...since u want to get techincal, Pls do this calculation for me 100% - 56% = ?....then plz go get a dictionary and check what "most" means...moron.
That's strange because a month ago when that Virgin Active furore was in full force, the white people on news 24 said that lady deserved to be racially abused for shouting "yebo" in a spinning class. Now the white guy is making the noise in a public place and what do you know our white friends say the black guy was looking for attention. I wonder if you can spell hypocrite!!
Way to go Alf! That language is unacceptable.
I have met this wonderful South Africa icon, and have always found Alf to be helpful, respectful and a complete gentleman. He did not deserve to be disrespected in this manner, he has earned the respect accorded to him. I am 100% behind Mr Khumalo.
THe very best of luck in this matter, Bazil Raubach, fellow photographer
Timing is quickly fading off for racists who continue to insult balck people in general and Africans in particular. I know what I will do if labelled with such derogatory names - i will go to police to report and surrender myself for what I would have done and not the other way round.
