You do know that you can set your Tivo season pass to start a few minutes early? Its in the season pass options.

Thats how I deal with broadcasters with slightly off timeschedules.

Ken Krawchuk says his numbers went up, not down. And I'm sure he thinks getting into the debates was a breakthrough for his campaign too.

Being included in the debates would be a huge victory for Libertarians. The presidential debates have a much bigger audience than governitorial debates.

It would be a breakthrough because we're not there now. When Rosa Parks sat in the front of the bus, that may not have seemed like a big deal to people who had rode in the front of the bus regularly for years or who had seen African Americans ride in the front of the bus up north, but it was a very big deal to people previously not given that opportunity.

I took two semesters of Arabic in college and I found I didn't actually get much out of the class itself. I learned the most when I sat down with my friend and just tried to have a conversation with her in Arabic. By practicing how to speak and listen to it the writing and reading bit came much more easily (since, after all, writing is supposed to be a graphical representation of a spoken language).

If you don't know anyone who speaks Arabic then I'm sure you could find a college student or something that needs a little money. Pay them to sit down with you for an hour each day and just speak with you. Don't use them as a tutor for the reading and writing except for the odd question or two! You should be able to figure most of it yourself from a textbook or something if you take it seriously.
