Nancy Silverton's New Book: Canned Heat
Christine Muhlke writes about Nancy Silverton's new book, A Twist of the Wrist: Quick Flavorful Meals With Ingredients from Jars, Cans, Bags, and Boxes. According to Muhlke, the book "green-lights prewashed salad, canned peas, jarred mayonnaise, boneless chicken breasts, and more—a gigantic leap for someone for whom a chicken sandwich always involved roasting a chicken and making a batch of mayonnaise."
The strange thing is that the two recipes in the story don't have much in the way of jarred, canned, bagged, and boxed ingredients. Serious Eats will investigate in future posts.

Bureau of Land Management
Duane Christian, a native of Richmond, Virginia, spent his early years enjoying the "Old Dominion," the name given to Virginia by King Charles II when he regained the throne in 1660, after England's civil war. Duane says his interest in archaeology began at an early age after being exposed to the voluminous amount of history that Virginia offers. His family's interest in history was also influential. Duane has a bachelors degree in anthropology with a minor in sociology.
Duane has been a resident of Bakersfield since 1984 when he transferred from Arizona to California. Up to then, he had served in several temporary positions with the BLM as an archaeologist. He has been with the BLM for 25 years, although he initially started working for BLM in 1976. After several years break, he returned to BLM in 1981.
His first job for BLM was in Cedar City, Utah with the first assignment on the "hot desert archaeological survey" as part of the planning effort for range management. From there, he went to the Salt Lake District where he was involved in various support programs as archaeologist. He was later employed on the "Timber Draw Dam" excavation project for BLM in Safford, Arizona. At the Lake Havasu Resource Area, he served as the first archaeologist developing the cultural program for the office. Other duties included surface protection, recreation, processing mining plans of operation and notices, and team leader for the YACC on the Colorado River. With the sundry duties associated with being program lead archaeologist in Bakersfield, Duane also has responsibilities for Native American coordination and paleontological resources management. Additionally, he provides support to the Carrizo Plain National Monument.
Although he spends most of his time on planning and project support activities, Duane considers the tangible items as being the most rewarding accomplishments. This includes preservation and interpretive efforts that enriches the public's appreciation of cultural resources. Personally, Duane enjoys spending time with his children and five grandchildren, he is also particularly interested in dogs. His best pal, Haydn, is a dachshund rescued from the streets of Bakersfield.

Original recipe yields 8 servings
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the ginger, turmeric, black pepper, cloves, fenugreek, garlic, and one teaspoon salt. Continue to stir until the spices and garlic are well coated in oil, about 30 seconds. Stir in the onions; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, and cabbage; cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato puree and the water. Continue to cook over very low heat, until vegetables are soft and the tomato sauce thickens, about 30 to 40 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Really simple recipe with surprisingly good flavours. I followed the suggestion and doubled the spices but didn't change anything else. I was worried that it wouldn't have much flavour as the smell wasn't that strong, and before it finished cooking it was a little on the bland side. I resisted the urge to add more spices and it proved to be the right decision. Thanks for the great recipe.
This was tastier than I imagined it would be. My husband, who is a meat lover, actually enjoyed it. Of couse he said he thought it would be great with beef stew meat. :) I think lamb would be a good choice. We did eat this meatless, but I did sprinkle a small bit of good fresh goat cheese on top. Yum. The house smelled wonderful while cooking this. I would suggest cutting the potatoes rather small so that they get nice and soft. I cut mine in larger cubes and had to cook this an additional 45 minutes and they were still rather hard. Overall, this was good, and the hubby requests it again.
This recipe was a great base for a warming vegetarian stew! I decreased the garlic by half, used about 1.5 inches of fresh garlic, and increased the tumeric and cloves. It made a GREAT sauce :) I also added some pumpkin in place of about half the potatoes and ate it with brown basmati rice. I think a squirt of lime juice at the end would've be a nice touch... if I had a lime ;) This seems to be one of those things that gets better the longer you cooked it... i cooked mine for a little over an hour. So good! Thanks for posting it!

Indianapolis — Boone County has been added to the growing list of Indiana counties declared natural disaster relief areas as the result of drought.
Indiana Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman this week announced that 14 additional counties, including Boone, had been added to 36 counties named primary natural disaster areas earlier this month because of drought.
"As drought spreads havoc, particularly for those in our agriculture sector who provide the basics, we continue to work with our partners to minimize the impact, Skillman said.
Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses.

You know - the kind where that interesting soccer game that the folks with funny accents play gets cowboyed up to the point that you need helmets and pads to reduce the probability of severe cranial injury.
That's reduce - not prevent.
And what's all of this about having to be a Global community? I realize that the United States must cohabitate with the rest of the nations on the Globe, but I am a citizen of one country and one country only.
I have neighbors. I cohabitate with them on the same block. But I only live in my house. And if I decide to put up a fence, I don't ask them for permission. I don't feel any guilt. And if their roof is leaking, I certainly don't feel obligated to pay for the repair to improve their quality of life.
I've been thinking about this since reading Brohica's last post. I, too, believe in peace through superior fire power. You say that in some circles and the listener will laugh a nervous laugh and hope you're joking.
I'm serious. And I'm proud of that fact. I would open up a discussion with Ahmadinejad. I'd call him up and say:
"You know, Dinny. Can I call you Dinny? Whatever, I will anyway. See, Dinny - [insert sound of me eating potato chips here] - you're way behind the 8-ball in this whole nuclear arms development thing. We've already got a program that's pretty awesome. I mean, seriously. It's...it's just awesome. Just take my word for it. You don't wanna take my word for it? Fine - I guess I'll just prove it, then. Later, Dinny."
Bam - problem solved. One way or another, that is.
Of course, I'm being a bit facetious. A bit. I just wonder what happened that you have to hide your fervent patriotism so people won't think you're a right-wing nut job at worst and a Republican ideologue at best. Why is it I feel like I'm Axel Foley and I've found myself in the twilight zone known as Beverly Hills?
Axel Foley wasn't looking for trouble, he just possessed some good ol American Grit. He knew that sometimes when defending your territory you have to get bit disreputable. Being liked is not the issue. Protecting that which is valuable to you is. And my country, the freedoms it gives me and the ideals on which it was founded are very valuable to me. To protect them, I'm prepared to get a bit disreputable.

Lübeck's research programme "Infection and Inflammation" focusses on microbial noxae and inflammatory reactions.
As inflammation is the steady reaction of cells, tissues and organs to potentially injurious agents, the goal is to reinstate a patient's physiological integrity by eliminating or neutralising the noxae.
The underlying procedures are essentially similar, with minor differences governed by the injurious agents, the sensors that recognise the danger, and the reaction arising at the location following the infection.
The contributing scientific groups concentrate primarily on understanding what takes place at various levels at the site of infection. For one, they compare the sequence of events that occur in the skin, lungs, intestines and tissues from physiological and pathophysiological perspectives and consequently analyse their connection to neurohormonal feedback mechanisms. Secondly, they also investigate organically similar cell groups to study inflammatory processes within and among individual cells in order to characterise paradigmatic triggering factors (such as microorganisms, parts of complement systems, autoantigens) and devise inhibition strategies.
The research findings are given direct clinical access by the Comprehensive Center for Inflammation Medicine, following regular interdisciplinary consultations among the clinics involved.
Roughly 80 scientists at twelve different departments are collaborating in this programme. They are organized in the Center for Infection and Inflammation Lübeck (ZIEL).

Snow Fight
Snow Fight (Free) by Sauce Digital
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I didn't realize it when I pulled this app out of the review queue, but I reviewed a game called Nano Rally from this very same company a couple years ago and it was good! Snow Fight is good, too, but its major limitation is that you only get 7 levels to play and then you have to buy the rest. Bummer.
Snow Fight is a Capture the Flag game where your mission is to take out all the other little punks in the field of play by bombarding them with icy snowballs of fury and ultimately make it to their flag. You can send your troop(s) into the field by drawing a line they'll follow and, with some well-timed taps, you can launch your ammo at the enemy along the way.
Overall this is a pretty good game and, unlike a lot of other seasonal games, it's actually kind of fun. It may seem hard at first, but it won't be long before you figure out how to pull off quick hit & run attacks and earn the medals the game offers. The main thing that stands out in the Improvements department is that you can't pinch to zoom in and out of the playing field! Dragging your finger around to see who's camped out where isn't all that convenient. I'd also like it if reloading snowballs was a lot faster, but I think that's just the game's way of forcing you to strategize.
Last thing I want from this game… is for it to tell me how much the extra levels cost! Tapping on "Unlock All Levels" prompts me for my iTunes password without telling me how much I'm spending. Blech.

BELLINGHAM - Sehome seniors Daniel Ziegler and Austin Vosburgh wish they could come back to play another season with the Mariners' young, potential-laden offensive line.
But the future is now for two of the quickest threats in the Northwest Conference in the wake of Sehome's 57-12 victory over Bellingham to end the regular season on Thursday, Oct. 31, at Civic Stadium, in a Northwest Conference Class 2A matchup.
While the Mariners (4-5 overall, 3-4 NWC) savored being handed "City Champ" T-shirts for the first time in the senior class's history, they were also thrilled to realize they still have a shot at the postseason.
Sehome, Burlington-Edison and Anacortes will play a Kansas Tiebreaker series on Saturday, Nov. 2, at Sedro-Woolley High School, starting at 7 p.m.
According to a pre-season numbers draw, Sehome will face the Burlington-Anacortes survivor for the NWC's No. 3 and final spot - behind Lynden and Sedro-Woolley - for the right to play a Week 10 game that could send the Mariners to the state tournament.
"I had a dream of state when I was a freshman, but I wasn't really very hopeful of it," said Vosburgh, who scored two touchdowns and had five sacks of gutty but beleaguered Bellingham quarterback Eric Thompson. "But this season, everything changed."
Ziegler, playing at quarterback only in the first half, needed just 31 plays to guide the Mariners to seven touchdowns, including his 81-yard kickoff return in the first quarter and his 39-yard scoring run on his final play.
Ziegler ran for 73 yards and passed for 151 to increase his total offense from scrimmage - not even counting his huge return yardage - to 1,828 for the season. He has 1,024 passing and 804 rushing.
The shifty senior threw scoring passes of 18 and 29 yards to senior Evan Miksovsky, who caught four passes for 73 yards. That increased the veteran basketball star's season totals to 39 receptions for 654 yards and nine touchdowns in his only high school football season.
"Our line has improved so much," said Ziegler, stressing what a pleasure it is to play with dedicated juniors Drew Norvell, Austin Rosas, Tyler Haggen, George Loeppky and sophomore Jeremy Johnson. "I feel they have great potential."
Ziegler also found Vosburgh for a 32-yard touchdown and Blaise Black chipped in with a 7-yard scoring run. Junior defensive back Gabriel Weight added the Mariners' last score with a 94-yard interception return in the fourth quarter. Senior kicker Sam Diehl went 7 for 7 on conversions and even threw a 2-point-conversion pass to Vosburgh when another conversion went awry.
"I'm so excited for the kids," Sehome coach Bob Norvell said. "It's so exciting to have a shot at the playoffs - just to have an opportunity to give it our best. I keep thinking how the kids have developed attitude and discipline - how they have learned to respect everyone."
The Red Raiders (0-9, 0-6), who suited up 24 players, finished the game on Sehome's 1-yard line, which pretty much summed up Bellingham's luck. The second half was played with a running clock, and Bellingham limited Sehome's offensive reserves to seven plays from scrimmage after intermission, due in part to Weight's interception return for the Mariners.
The Red Raiders played seriously throughout as Melvin Deal rushed 15 times for 88 yards. They scored in the first quarter on sophomore Kole Jorgenson's 4-yard reception from Thompson following wide receiver Kailen Hayes' 41-yard pass to Tristan Hurley in the first quarter. The Raiders tallied in the third quarter on junior Elijahwa Ninnemann's 66-yard fumble return.
Bellingham coach Steve Wilson could be proud of how his players responded to Sehome's first touchown with a 10-play, 69-yard scoring drive, aided by a 15-yard penalty against Sehome when the Raiders punted early in the drive.
Sehome standout Taylor Rapp was held out to give an injury more time to heal.
"This just feels so great, to have a shot at the playoffs," said Ziegler, whose kickoff return was a dazzler, considering he took the ball on one sideline and ran across to the opposite sideline before heading goalward. "I'm very, very happy for our coaches, who are just so dedicated to making us better. They're great - they'll talk football before practice, after practice, any time we want to."
Considering that the future is now, they'll be a whole lot of talk Friday at school and at practice. Ziegler and his crew wouldn't want it any other way.

One of travelers' biggest gripes--the charges that hotels slap them with for using telephone calling cards--may soon be on the way out.
Hilton Hotels plans to announce today that it will eliminate the lucrative but annoying charges--ranging from 75 cents to $1 per call--on telephone calling cards. Although they raise millions of dollars in revenue, the fees also generate the largest number of customer complaints, said the Beverly Hills-based company.

JCP shirt (Liz Claiborne $4) | Old Navy Cords (old) | Shoeland Booties (old) | Baker's Shoes Clutch (again...old) | Chain Link Necklace via Ebay
For some odd reason, when I first laid eyes on this shirt, my initial thought was of a Grande Nonfat Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. Mmmm Starbucks... (in my Homer Simpson voice)
Considering it was super cold today (45 degrees), I also wore a chocolate cardi. For this picture, I decided to do without.

Lily Collins was in London last night with co-star Taylor Lautner, for their "Abduction" Premiere which was held at the BFI IMAX Waterloo.
The actress wore a Versace Resort 2012 mini dress, the second look from this collection we have seen this week.
Her chic black cocktail dress with black leather bodice and gold grommet details is an edgier look than we're used to seeing on the youngster.
In keeping with the dark mood of her dress, she opted for smoky eyes and black nail polish for a slightly gothic look.
Black Christian Louboutin platform peep-toes, David Yurman earrings and a gold and black Alexander McQueen completed her look.
I'm glad to see Lily is experimenting with different styles whilst promoting this movie.
The only thing I don't favour about this look is her hair.
Her purposely messy tresses just looks unkempt.

The park was built after the foundation of the Republic of China. It is not the People's Republic of China found in 1949.

Berkeley Unified School District educators devised an 18-month plan to close the gap between black and Latino students and their peers.
Wednesday night, the school board will find out how well it's working.
The plan "has held us accountable to take action to achieve the promise of the 2020 Vision," district spokesman Mark Coplan said in an email message,"the elimination of the racial predictability of our children's achievement and health by the year 2020,"
The plan identifies strategic steps focused on five areas:
- Curriculum and instruction success
- Family/community engagement
- Cultural and linguistic relevance
- Generation and allocation of resources
A recently released state report on California schools shows that while the district's native Spanish speakers made steady progress from 2008 to 2011, black students lagged behind.
"It's not our English language learners who are at the bottom, it's our black students," and in particular, black male students, board vice president Leah Wilson said at last week's discussion of an English language learner master plan. "That is where the crisis is in our schools."
Wilson said the schools must recognize the "civil rights imperative" to concentrate on the group.
"There has been some improvement, but we have a long way to go," said board director Josh Daniels.
The BUSD Board of Education meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 27 in the second floor chambers of the Maudelle Shirek building, 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way. This item is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. The meeting is also broadcast on Berkeley Cable Channel 33 and it will be posted on Vimeo.com.

Biography of EratosthenesEratosthenes was born around 276 B.C.E. at a Greek colony in Cyrene, Libya. He was educated at the academies of Athens and was appointed to run the Great Library at Alexandria in 240. While serving as head librarian and scholar, Eratosthenes wrote a comprehensive treatise about the world, called Geography. This was the first use of the word, which literally means "writing about the earth" in Greek. Geography also introduced the climatic concepts of torrid, temperate, and frigid zones.
Eratosthenes' ExperimentHaving heard of a deep well at Syene (near the Tropic of Cancer and modern Aswan) where sunlight only struck the bottom of the well on the summer solstice, Eratosthenes determined that he could discover the circumference of the earth. (Greek scholars knew that the earth was indeed a sphere). To calculate the circumference, Eratosthenes needed two things. He knew the approximate distance between Syene and Alexandria, as measured by camel-powered trade caravans. He then measured the angle of the shadow in Alexandria on the solstice. By taking the angle of the shadow (7°12') and dividing it into the 360 degrees of a circle (360 divided by 7.2 yields 50), Eratosthenes could then multiply the distance between Alexandria and Syene by 50 to determine the circumference.
Remarkably, Eratosthenes determined the circumference to be 25,000 miles, just 100 miles over the actual circumference at the equator (24,901 miles). While Eratosthenes made mathematical errors in his caculations, these fortunately canceled each other out and yielded an amazingly accurate answer.
A few decades later, the Greek geographer Posidonius thought Eratosthenes' circumference was too large. He calculated the circumference on his own and obtained 18,000 miles, 7,000 miles too short. During the middle ages, most scholars accepted Eratosthenes' circumference though Christopher Columbus used Posidonius' circumference to convince his supporters that he could quickly reach Asia by sailing west from Europe.
In old age, Eratosthenes became blind and died of self-induced starvation in either 192 or 196 B.C.E. He had thus lived to be about 80 to 84 years old.

(December 19, 2012) According to an Associated Press report, Serena Williams has had surgery on her big toes which forced her to withdraw from an exhibition match with Victoria Azarenka scheduled for later this month in Thailand.
The AP report states:
"A medical certificate from Florida podiatrist Jeffrey Rockefeller says Williams "was treated for a chronic foot disorder which involved minor procedures on both of her great toes."
He said she needs to minimize activity to fully recover."
No. 3 Williams, a 15-time major winner was named WTA Player of the Year after capturing Wimbledon, the US Open and the gold medal in the Olympic Games. She was off the tour for a year after capturing Wimbledon in 2010 due to foot surgery and a blood clot in her lung.

Poll: 35 Percent of Republicans Want to Impeach Obama
Wednesday, December 09, 2009 at 10:38 am
Public Policy Polling has another mind-bending partisan number from its national survey. Right now, 20 percent of Americans "support the impeachment of President Obama for his actions so far." That number includes 35 percent of Republicans, to only 15 percent of independents and 10 percent of Democrats.
"I'm not clear exactly what 'high crimes and misdemeanors' they are using to justify that position," said PPP's Tom Jensen, "but there may be a certain segment of voters on both the right and the left these days that simply think the President doing things they don't agree with is grounds for removal from office."
Without probing further it's hard to say, but like the post-Iraq War opposition to George W. Bush, the first-year opposition to President Obama has included a lot of rhetoric about the president's supposed violations of the Constitution. With Bush, it was war-related; with Obama, it's Glenn Beck critiques like "where in the Constitution does the president have the right to take over a car company?"

So where in the Constitution is the President given the right to take over a car company and fire the CEO?

With Bush, it was war-related…
To a large extent, yes, but there are also the matters of the USA firings, politicized prosecutions and government agencies, violating the Fourth amendment and FISA on an unimaginable scale, authorizing torture…
If there's a legitimate reason to impeach Obama, it's probably for doing nothing about, if not continuing, the above, and shielding the perpetrators from any consequences of their actions.

"War-related" issues? That is a bit of an oversimplification, isn't it? What about the fact that he tortured people and jailed them indefinitely? A bit more serious than taking over an auto company if you ask me. I don't think they should be mentioned in the same breath. And that's only one of the worst offenses.

And according to PPP, Obama won the 2008 election with 47% of the vote.
I'll pass on this, and any other polling done by PPP until they iron out their inaccurate sampling.

Where in the Constitution is the President given the power to command an air force? Article I, Section 8 outlines that Congress can establish and fund an army and a navy and Article II, Section 2 identifies the President as Commander in Chief of the army and navy, but the air force is unmentioned. Perhaps we need to impeach Obama for taking over a car company–since it is not explicitly allowed in the Constitution–and retroactively impeach all presidents since Truman for commanding a not explicitly authorized air force…
Comment posted December 9, 2009 @ 10:39 pm
That car company ASKED for help and money. We invested in that company. Investors have a say in how that's company is run including firing the CEO if he's doing a lousy job. Why do you hate the free market so much?

And, of course,during WWII, President Roosevelt took over all the car companies. He told them what they could produce and what they would be paid. So I guess we need to impeach the greatest president of the 20th century, FDR.
President Obama's real crime is Presidenting While Black. The winguts really believe that's an impeachable offense.

Obama is continuing to jail people indefinitely. Habeas Corpus was suspended by Executive Order. That means Obama has complete control over the situation of indefinite imprisonment without a trial. All he has to do as president is rescind the original order. He should bring back Posse Comitatus to unless you want the National Guard fiasco that happened to New Orleans to happen everywhere in the US.

Impeach Obama or face a national crisis. The country is too big to fail because of this idiot. Our image is tarnished with every speach soured in hypocrisy and untold truths. For instance, the REAL reason we are in Afghanistan is not to fight the Taliban. It is to ensure that the gas, oil, and water pipelines from the Caspian Sea are not terrorized.

Herrence Meritocracy: I guess you don't know history very well, there was no Air Force until after WW2, before that the Air Force was part of the Army and it was called The Army Air Corps.
The President is Commander in Chief of ALL armed forces!

"I guess you don't know history very well, there was no Air Force until after WW2″
Yes, I do know that, which is why I stated "all presidents since Truman" since Truman was president when the Air Force became an independent service branch in 1947. I guess you need to work on reading comprehension skills.
"The President is Commander in Chief of ALL armed forces!"
The U.S. Constitution states, "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States." Thus your statement is an interpretation of the Constitution, not a direct quote. And unlike strict constitutionalists, whom I was mocking and who like to say things like "the Constitution does not allow Obama to take over a car company," I agree with that interpretation.
Thanks for playing, though. I hope you understand my point now.

Because his Kenyan Citizenship was still in effect in 1983, Obama may still be a Kenyan Citizen. Neither the President nor any of his surrogates have addressed this issue. Locate where he legally changed his name to Barack H. Obama? It is fraud to run for and serve as President under an "alias" name. What about Soetoro/Obama's Indonesian citizenship? We have the school record, which Soetoro/Obama has admitted too.Obama released two (2) forged images of a Certification of Live Birth, claiming it to be his birth certificate. The Hawaii Health Department has NEVER verified the images placed on the internet. Law 101: No agency or person can look at an online image and state the document came from their agency or location, unless the person making such statement was the one who personally printed the document in question (Soetoro/Obama's Certification of Live Birth in this case) and handed it to Soetoro/Obama and can prove it is in fact the same document. If in fact Soetoro/Obama was a U.S. "natural born" citizen and eligible to serve as our United States President, why in the world would he spend in excess of a million dollars litigating these cases instead of just proving his citizenship status? because Soetoro/Obama can't.

Just because he was born in a foreign country does not make him a ineligible to be President. Many American citizens have children born out of the country. I was serving in the Air Force in Germany when my daughter was born there. She is an American Citizen as any child of American parents is no matter where they are born. Look it up, its totally legal. Believe me, I hate everything this guy is doing and am all for removing him from office, but let's not get stuck on one item and go, no matter what the facts are. Yes, he should answer the questions and provide the documents and it he doesn't then that is suspicious. There are many reasons he is no fit to be in office but where he was born really isn't the one to stand up on. His mother was an American citizen and he was born somewhere that we do not yet know for sure

The Constitution does not say "American citizen" though. It specifically states "Natural-born citizen." I believe the courts have accepted the notion that individuals born in U.S. territories to be citizens of the United States, however if (and I'm not saying he was) Obama was born in a foreign country, and only one of his parents had U.S. citizenship, it is questionable as to whether he would qualify as a natural-born citizen. The whole point behind this clause in the Constitution was to assure that foreign individuals could not infiltrate our political system.

Obama … BECAUSE he knew we were in trouble and instead of HELPING the people … rolling his sleeves up to work with us as he says he has done with the 'down and out on Poverty Street' … he put financial chains on us and acted like our 'master' of the plantation (USA) … Now, WHY would he do that if he loves America???

If he wasnt born in america, he cannot be president. In the constitution, one of the main qualifications for the presidency is that he/she be born HERE. look it up. Your daughter is a citizen because you and your wife are citizens. Also, if she was born in a hospital on the base, that is considered American territory, as we usually lease those lands from the countries where those bases are built. Even if his mother was a citizen, unless he was born on American land, he wasnt born HERE. I'm not a birther, just spreading some knowledge.

How exactly due you impeach someone who isn't legally serving???
Why don't you all think, about this highly complex issue regarding Natural Birth! (Joke!)
1. Our country was founded on Natural Law. Not Man's Law! (Admiralty/Commerce Law)! As, written in our Declaration of Independence, Treaty of Paris, and our Constitution.
2. Our constitution is Man's Law! It declares Natural law to be the Highest or supreme law and or power in our land.
3. Natural law is natural rules that are clearly relevant like, Gravity! Man can't do away with gravity!
So, our country was founded with this order of hierarchy.
a.. Natural Law and or Natures God!
b. The Citizen
c. The State
d. The Federal Government
4. How it works Now!
a. Money!
b. The Federal Government
c. The State
d. The Citizen
e. Natural Law and or Natures God!
5. Still wonder, why everything seems to work backwards from your beliefs.
The word Natural in (Natural Born) invokes Natural Law, If you have to refer to Man's Law, it is not Natural Law! So, the mere fact that Obama's father was a British citizen meant he had a choice under under man's Law, he could chose to be British or American, in making the choice you invoke the use Man's Law, not Natural Law. It's like this if I mate a Beagle to a Beagle I get a Beagle, I don't need a lawyer, or Man's Law as this is truth in Natural Law. If I suddenly find my dog (the Beagle) had pups and I didn't know who the father is, I would have to go to the AKC for a ruling, to say its pup, is a Beagle. So, the AKC would represent Man's Law. It's really sad, that 300,000,000 Americans don't seem to know anything about the law our country was founded on! (Natural Law)! Provided, for us by Natures God! The Constitution doesn't say (Native birth) It says Natural Born to invoke natural law! For the Stupid Americans!!!!
See the quotes below:
a. US Constitution, Article II, Section I – "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution"
The addition of a grandfather clause in this paragraph says a lot as to the meaning of natural born. The first thing it says is that being born in the US is not enough to be Natural Born; otherwise the grandfather clause would not be necessary. If it were the framers would not have included the clause.
This means you had to be a citizen WHEN the Constitution was adopted by the founding fathers, i.e.: it applies to people here up to the date of September 17, 1787. It does not apply to anyone AFTER that time. It was made to say that, so that the people of the original colonies, who were not Natural Born Citizens (they were Citizens of Britain and through the adoption of man's law (the Constitution), Gave themselves the necessary ability to form the new government and with full Knowledge, set out to restrict the Office of President to the higher standard of Natural Law, to their own children. This in-fact requires both standards you will here about from the misinformed or disinformation pundits, often referred to as by blood (Jus sanguinis (Latin: right of blood)) or geographical/Land (Jus soli (Latin: law of ground)) as it requires the parents to have been citizens of the United States and have been born on U.S. soil.
b. When asked to define natural born citizen, John Bingham, the author of the 14th amendment which extended the bill of rights to former slaves, stated, "Any human born to parents who are US citizens and are under no other jurisdiction or authority."
c. The Naturalization Act of 1790, also passed by this congress, declared "And the children of citizens of the US shall be considered as natural born, provided that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been a resident of the US." Some will argue that, neither of these definitions, one from US law, mentions birthplace, only the parents' citizenship. But given the statement "under no other jurisdiction or authority" they must, be born in or on U.S Soil or Jurisdiction to have that statement apply, So, again in-fact both forms that are generally discussed, are in fact required as evidenced by John Bingham's definition, our constitution, and the 14th amendment.
6. Look up the meaning of "AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION"
For example, when you go adopt a dog from an animal shelter, the contract you sign will say somewhere, that "AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION" this shelter relinquishes all care of the animal to the ADOPTER. It means WHEN YOU ADOPT SOMETHING, or in other words, the shelter IS NOT responsible for the care of the animal AT THE TIME WHEN YOU ADOPT IT. When you adopt a child, it will say somewhere in the contract that AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION the adoption agency relinquishes certain things or care to the adopter, or meetings will be set up with the parents AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION. Again, it means AFTER SOMETHING IS ADOPTED, something else does or does not apply, and the Constitution CLEARLY states: No person EXCEPT a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION of this Constitution. IF IT DID apply to a person born of one NON-Citizen and one American citizen AFTER THE TIME OF ADOPTION, it would clearly say AFTER THE ADOPTION of this Constitution…Obama is NOT NATURAL BORN, no matter HOW you try to argue it. It's VERY SIMPLE and easy to understand. Unless you are a complete idiot, Try studying the Constitution. It's not that hard.
7. But again Stupid Americans!!!! Give away your rights and your children's as well!
You can try to argue what's written, but you have no argument! It's only your liberties, your freedoms and those of your Children's at stake. All the politicians and judges no this! That's why they can't let it go to trial, as then they, and person's who have taken their oath to support and defend the constitution and are still holding office!, could and possibly should be tried for treason.
8. The Citizens are the supreme authority, as long as the constitution is intact, the citizens don't need the Courts to correct this issue they just need to say enough is enough you're fired!, and do it in mass! Then proceed to Trials. Trials based on Natural Law!

The LawsuitThe Federal Trade Commmission vs. CompuCredit Corporation and Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC filed on June 10, 2008
OutcomeNot yet decided. The FTC is asking for a $200 million penalty.
According to the lawsuit complaint, CompuCredit marketed a subprime Visa credit card with a $300 credit limit. However, they did not make it clear to customers that they could be charged up to $185 in upfront fees leaving only $115 in available credit.
Another part of the lawsuit includes a credit card with a $3,250 credit limit marketed to consumers with higher credit scores. In this case, CompuCredit didn't make it clear that only a portion of the credit limit was available for the first 90 days as their spending habits were analyzed. Then, after 90 days the remaining credit could be reduced if the cardholder shopped at certain places inluding: tire treading shops, massage parlors, bars, billiard halls, and marriage counselors. The FTC is not suing because of the screening, but because the process was not disclosed to consumers.
Finally, CompuCredit and Jefferson Capital, its subsidiary, marketed a Visa credit card that could be used to pay charged-off accounts. The companies promised the customer's credit report would be updated to reflect the account was paid in full. The companies failed to properly disclose that cardholders would be enrolled in a debt payment program and would not receive credit cards until a certain percentage of the debt had been repaid.
Law(s) Violated
The FTC alleges both companies violated the FTC Act and that Jefferson Capital violated the FDCPA by calling excessively and calling outside the allowed hours.
Related Case
In 2006, CompuCredit entered a $11 million settlement with New York Attorney General (at the time) Eliot Spitzer for similar allegations. The company agreed to change their marketing practices after that suit.

Radio Lazer off a bit, but still tops on radio
KHAY second in Arbitron ratings
An Oxnard Spanish-language radio station is so popular that a loss of nearly 2 percentage points of its audience share couldn't topple it from the No. 1 spot.
KXLM-FM (102.9), known as "Radio Lazer," was Ventura County's most-listened-to station during the April-June spring ratings period, according to data released last month by Arbitron Inc., which tracks radio listening nationwide.
The station, operated by Oxnard-based Lazer Broadcasting Corp., has held the top spot since early 2005.
KXLM had an average 6.9 percent audience share in the spring, down from 8.8 percent last fall but well ahead of Ventura County's 16 other commercial radio stations, according to Arbitron.
Runner-up was country music outlet KHAY-FM (100.7) in Ventura, owned by Cumulus Media Inc. It drew an average 6 percent of listeners, up from 4.8 percent in the fall. KXLM averaged 49,300 listeners weekly, while KHAY had 43,900, Arbitron reported.
Ratings are computed by tracking the listening habits of about 1,200 county residents, ages 12 and older, who keep diaries of their listening from 6 a.m. Monday to midnight Sunday over a 10-week period.
Ventura-based Gold Coast Broadcasting LLC's hip-hop powerhouse, KCAQ-FM (104.7), captured third place by boosting its audience share half a percentage point from the fall to 5.5 percent. Its chief competitor, Cumulus' KVYB-FM (103.3), took fifth place with a 4 percent share, up from 3.1 percent in the fall. Spanish-language KMLA-FM (103.7) in Oxnard was fourth with a 4.4 percent audience share, up 0.2 percent from the fall.
In the survey, 13 Ventura County stations generated ratings in the overall 12-and-older category, along with 10 based in Los Angeles.
Local stations KVEN-AM (1450), KUNX-AM (1590), KKZZ-AM (1400), all in Ventura, and KMLT-FM (92.7), Thousand Oaks, did not show up in the general ratings, but did draw numbers with their target audiences. Most radio stations sell advertising by targeting audiences in specific age groups and demographics.
Consistency counts
Since launching KXLM in 1991, owner Alfredo Plascencia has watched it earn consistently high ratings. The station is the flagship of the 20 operated by Lazer Broadcasting throughout California, all in Spanish. He said KXLM keeps its advertisers happy by focusing on its listeners.
"We have been very consistent with our listeners, providing the most important things for them and our clients," Plascencia said. "We try not to experiment with any new music. We stick with our most popular promotions and contests to build listener loyalty."
He credited morning host Salvador Prieto, who has worked at KXLM for more than 10 years, with building an intensely loyal audience by bringing in doctors, attorneys and other experts offering free advice to listeners. The station also airs numerous contests. Among the most popular, Plascencia said, is one in which KXLM pays all the costs of a quinceanera (a girl's 15th birthday) party for two families annually. Those parties can be lavish, costing as much as weddings, he said.
Gold Coast Broadcasting's KCAQ had the hip-hop format to itself locally when Cumulus's KVYB began airing the same music in 2005. Chip Ehrhardt, Gold Coast's executive vice president, said his management was concerned, but intensified its focus and "tightened up our game." As a result, the station stayed ahead of its new competitor.
"It's difficult when someone tries to go head to head against you because ... if you have a restaurant that's been established for several years and suddenly another one opens up, you're going to feel some impact for a while," Ehrhardt said. "When the newness starts to wear off, you hope that what you have for all these years is proven and true and successful in the long term. That's what happened with us."
Challenger makes changes
Still, KVYB got solid ratings, and Cumulus management intends to make them even better, said Market Manager Bruce Pollock. In the spring, KVYB dropped its "Rico & Mambo" morning show and changed its imaging slogan from "Hip-Hop Y Mas" to "The Beat of the Central Coast." It still airs rhythmic top 40 music, but dropped the hard-edge fare of the past to attract a wider audience.
"It's really made a difference," said Pollock. "The station has a whole different feel. The music is much softer than it was. We're already No. 1 in Santa Barbara."
Cumulus' KVEN also made changes recently, replacing morning show host Lee Marshall, who retired, with controversial talk-show host Don Imus' nationally syndicated program. The station still airs oldies music, but instead of being played locally, it is provided by a national satellite programming service.
Gold Coast's KFYV-FM (105.5), a pop music station, jumped from 10th to seventh place in the new ratings with a 3.3 percent audience share. Ehrhardt called that a big improvement, but pointed out that ratings can change quickly.
"When we do poorly, I don't want to dwell on them, and when we do great, I don't want to get too gassed up on them because it could just as easily come back the other way on us in the next ratings period," he said.
Because they rely on listeners to recall what stations they heard and write the information in diaries, the accuracy of ratings can be suspect, Ehrhardt said.
Arbitron started measuring ratings in Los Angeles and a few other large markets this month by distributing pager-sized electronic devices to survey participants. The devices automatically track what stations each participant hears and how long he or she listens. Arbitron plans to be using the devices in the country's 50 biggest markets by 2010. But Ventura County is the country's 116th-ranked market, Ehrhardt said. There is no prediction on when the devices will be used here.

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." — Anne Frank
My friend Jerry passed from this world into a better place several months ago, but I can still hear his laughter and see the twinkle in his eyes as he told his stories. This is one of his true stories that I won't forget:
Jerry was in the hospital recovering from pneumonia when a cleaning lady came into his room. My friend, who seldom met a stranger he couldn't create a conversation with, began talking with the young woman, who looked as though she might be pregnant.
They chatted and laughed and made small-talk while she tided his room. When she finished her work and started to leave, Jerry asked, "May I pray for you and your baby?" When she agreed, Jerry prayed and asked God to bless the woman's unborn child and to give the mother a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. When he finished the prayer and looked up, he saw tears in the woman's eyes. He said, "Your baby is very special in God's sight. Did you know that?"
As the tears continued to fall, the woman made a confession — she had planned to get an abortion. She then told Jerry that his prayer had created new thoughts in her mind. When she left the room, Jerry didn't know what decision the lady would make. However, he had a peaceful feeling that he had obeyed a quiet nudge from God, and he eventually forgot about it.
Years later, when he was shopping in Wal-Mart one day, a woman walked up, tapped him on the shoulder, and asked, "Sir, do you remember me? Fifteen years ago, you prayed for me, and I'm so glad you did." She then turned to the boy beside her and said, "This is my son. You told me he would be very special, and he is; he has blessed my life."
When Jerry Bratu responded to a silent nudge and prayed with a stranger that day, a life was saved.
In her book, "One Perfect Word," Debbie Macomber writes: "I get those nudges — like I ought to call someone I've wronged or I should take a casserole to a grieving family — I need to learn to recognize God's voice. The more we practice listening to His voice and acting on it, the better we get at recognizing it."
Imagine how different this world could be if all of God's children were sensitive and obedient to His nudges!

Is the church honestly a "counterculture for the common good"?
Click on the order button below to download this Current Issues Bible Study as a Microsoft Word file.
Most of us probably have a ready qualifier when unbelievers question us about faith issues—a way to distance ourselves from the often silly, and sometimes terrible, things perpetrated by so-called Christians. "Well, yes, I'm a Christian, but not like those abortion clinic bombers. And not like that CEO who defrauded his company. And not like…"In the CHRISTIANITY TODAY article "The Church's Great Malfunctions," Miroslav Volf writes, "Christian faith has been put to the most scandalous uses.
