The candidates running for City Council have been quiet lately. Likely they’ve been sharpening their rhetorical blades for the political pit fight coming up this Tuesday, July 24.
Ok, so there will likely be little bloodshed, metaphorical or otherwise. I’d guess it’ll be a fairly tame affair, especially with the Chamber of Commerce’s director hitting the would-be politicians with nerfish salvos. (However, you can expect the Chamber to drill the candidates on the Ericksen-Hildebrand road connection issue).
Turnout to this debate anyhow. It could be your only chance to see the candidates before the primary. Ballots are poised now for mass mailing.
The first bout is for the central ward, where Bill Knobloch hopes to defend his place on the council. He’s facing the wily John Waldo, ‘lil Lauren Ellis and jack-of-all-whosiswhats CarolAnn Barrows.
Then it’s the south ward fight, with road warrior Curt Winston, admiral anti-affordable housing Robert Dashiell and wetland watcher Kim Brackett.
The rest, including north warders Matt Van Winkle and Hilary Franz will sit this one out since their big face-off isn’t until the general election in November.
Meanwhile, Barry Peters, who is running unopposed for the all-island position, is getting his posterior measured for a custom tailored council seat.
The show starts at 7 at the Senior Center on Bjune Street near Waterfront Park.

Thanks for the tip. I also hear the Veterans group (American Legion??) is planning some more candidate debates. There definitely should be more on the island. Hopefully, they'll also be televised by BITV. It'd be great if they were moderated by our local media (Review, Islander) as it's done on the national level (ABC News, Fox).
Here's my assessment of the evening's performance:
Curtis Winston: bombastic, shooting from the him, tell it like it is sorta guy. Wants to keep Bainbridge as-is.
Robert Dashiell: a little shakey. Similar views to Curtis. And, yes, he is oddly-enough an opponent of affordable housing.
Kim Bracken: quiet and really wants to win. Can't remember anything she said.
-----
John Waldo: a good speaker. Pro-Winslow Tomorrow.
Bill Knobloch: surprisingly a little shakey. I think because he, as the incumbent, can easily get tagged with the council's dysfunction.
Lauren Sato Ellis: needs a bit more seasoning and familiarity with the community. Smart, with lots of potential.
Carol Ann Barrows: well-spoken, but a little out there for me. Pro-environment, and I think for keeping the status-quo.
Based on the campaign material left at the debate, I'd say John Waldo is by far the candidate with the deepest pockets. His 4 page color brochure was obviously professionally done. It put Knobloch's one-color sheet to shame.
There was a real contrast between how the local papers covered this event. The Bremerton Sun was fairy short and opinionated. It inserted little comments about how "well" each candidate did and included the "reactions" from the crowd. The Bainbridge Island Review's coverage was more extensive, and I think balanced. Probably less fun to read, but contained more useful/reliable information.

S&P признало самыми прозрачными VAB, банк «Форум» и «Укргазбанк». (ИА «Новый мост», Тимур Хаджинов) Сегодня служба рейтингов корпоративного управления Standard & Poors сообщила о результатах исследования информационной прозрачности 30 крупнейших украинских банков. Самыми прозрачными признаны VAB Банк, банк «Форум» и «Укргазбанк». Об этом говорится в сообщении Standard & Poors, текстом которого располагает ИА «НОВЫЙ МОСТ». [url=http://www.new-most.info/news/economics/20842.htm]VAB Банк[/url] «Результаты исследования показывают, что, вопреки пессимистическим ожиданиям, индекс информационной прозрачности банков Украины с 2008 г. вырос с 45 до 49%. Из 28 банков, которые попали в выборку как в 2008-м, так и в 2009 г., 16 продемонстрировали улучшение прозрачности: в среднем на 11,2 п.п., а 12 — ухудшили свои прошлогодние показатели: в среднем на 5,5 п.п. Разброс баллов прозрачности сузился — с 51,5 п.п. в 2008 г. до 43,9 п.п. в 2009 года. В тройке лидеров этого года по сравнению с 2008 г. произошли некоторые изменения. Наиболее прозрачным в 2009 г. признан ВиЭйБи Банк с результатом в 71,4%, занимавший по итогам 2008 г. 3-ю позицию. Банк улучшил свой показатель на 5,1 п.п. Вторую позицию в 2009 г. занял банк «Форум» с результатом 68,8% (в прошлом году банк не входил в десятку сильнейших). Третье место досталось победителю прошлого года — Укргазбанку, балл которого снизился с 71,2% до 66,2%», - говорится в сообщении. «Основной причиной повышения индекса информационной прозрачности стало более полное раскрытие информации о банках через ресурсы регуляторов (Государственной комиссии по ценным бумагам и фондовому рынку и Национального банка Украины). Наиболее полный источник информации о банках Украины в этом году — информация, распространяемая регулирующими органами: она содержит 53,7% от объема, необходимого среднему международному инвестору. В прошлом году этот уровень составлял 26%, — Стимулом для повышения общего уровня прозрачности стала реализация регуляторами концепции комплексной подачи информации, которая подразумевает использование перекрестных ссылок на другие источники», - отметила директор службы рейтингов корпоративного управления Светлана Бородина.

If you feel that you will be unable to discover this, then perhaps you should seek to find a licensed therapist with a track record of helping individuals with anxiety.

I would only get the 450 anytime minutes plan which I'm guessing is the cheapest plan, if there is something cheaper let me know. I would want 1,500 text messages and obviously the unlimited data it comes with. Ive been searching but different sources tell me different things, some say $75 some say up to $95 a month. Does anyone ahve a plan similar to this for the iphone 3g that can help and say what their monthly bill looks like?
