A Simple Matter of Equal Rights: John Yinger Written Statement 1. Introduction One of the cornerstones of American democracy is the "self-evident truth" in the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal." This truth leads directly to the principle that all citizens should have equal rights. The U.S. Constitution made historic contributions, of course, to the establishment of this principle, by, among other things, setting up the popular election of members of the House of Representatives and by allowing even naturalized citizens, after a waiting period of a few years, to run for the Senate or the House of Representatives. It is equally true, of course, that the Founding Fathers did not fully implement the equal-rights principle, and throughout its history, this nation has moved toward completing this task. The Constitution's most important limitations on this score obviously were that it allowed the states to disenfranchise people on the basis of sex and race. The Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Nineteenth Amendments to the Constitution, along with extensive civil rights legislation, have been passed to remove these limitations. The vast majority of American citizens now embrace the principle that all citizens should have equal rights, and our equal-rights legislation has made us a beacon of hope for people around the world striving for freedom and justice. This hearing is about the next step on the path toward equal rights, namely, ensuring that naturalized American citizens have exactly the same rights as natural-born American citizens. The only difference in rights between these two groups is that naturalized citizens cannot run for President or Vice-President. This difference comes from the clause in the Constitution that limits the presidency to natural-born citizens, along with the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, which implicitly extends this limitation to the office of Vice President. Thus, the quintessential dream of our democracy, the dream of being able to grow up to be President, is withheld, for no good reason, from millions of naturalized American citizens, including my son, Jonah, who came to the United States when he was only 4 months old. The provision in the Constitution that limits presidential eligibility to natural-born citizens grew out of the Founders' fear of foreign influence. As I will show in this statement, however, the Founders expressed serious doubts about this provision, and, as the Founders' own arguments make clear, this provision is both unwise and unnecessary. We should not let a misplaced fear of foreigners prevent us from removing this anachronistic provision from the Constitution and thereby reaffirming the principle of equal rights for all American citizens. 2. The Founders' Doubts About the Natural-Born Citizen Requirement The issue of presidential eligibility was first raised at the Constitutional Convention fairly early in the deliberations. On July 26, 1787, George Mason of Virginia moved that a committee "be instructed to receive a clause requiring certain qualifications of landed property and citizenship of the United States in members of the legislature." Two other delegates, Charles Pinckney and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina, then "moved to insert by way of amendmt the words Judiciary & Executive so as to extend the qualifications to those departments." This motion carried unanimously. Hence, the Founders' first instinct was to allow all citizens, naturalized and natural-born, to run for President. Moreover, the first draft of the presidential eligibility clause, which appeared on August 22, includes only a time-of citizenship requirement. The version of the presidential eligibility clause that excludes naturalized citizens did not appear until the final grand compromise on September 4, less than two weeks before the Constitution was signed by most of the delegates. This version was accepted unanimously with no record of any debate. In fact, however, the Founders provided considerable evidence concerning their feelings about restricting the rights of naturalized citizens, and most of these feelings were negative. In this section, I discuss three examples of this evidence: the grandfather clause concerning presidential eligibility, the Founders' recognition that second-class citizenship for naturalized citizens violates the equal-rights principle, and the Founders' demonstrated trust in naturalized citizens. The Grandfather Clause The first source of evidence about the Founders' views concerning the treatment of naturalized citizens comes from the presidential eligibility clause itself, which reveals that the Founders did really not want to prevent all naturalized citizens from running for President. To be specific, this clause grants presidential eligibility to any "Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution." This "grandfather" clause gave presidential eligibility to tens of thousands of naturalized citizens, included seven of the people who signed the Constitution. If the Founders thought that, among people meeting the fourteen-year residency requirement, naturalized citizens were inherently unqualified to be President or that naturalized citizens were inherently more likely than natural-born citizens to be subject to foreign influence, then they would not have included this provision. According to this clause, presidential eligibility was granted to all naturalized citizens at the time the Constitution was adopted in 1789. Based on information available from the U.S. Census, I estimate that roughly 60,000 foreign-born American citizens were eligible to run for President in the elections of 1796 and 1800. Moreover, about 1,500 of these people were born in France and about 10,000 were born in Great Britain, countries that were at odds with the United States in those years. Statements that Second-Class Citizenship for Naturalized Citizens Violates the Equal-Rights Principle Although the records of the Constitutional Convention contain no mention of a debate about the presidential eligibility clause itself, they contain evidence about the Founders' views concerning second-class citizenship for naturalized citizens. This evidence comes from the debates concerning the time-of-citizenship requirements for the Senate and the House of Representatives. These debates took place on August 9 and August 13, respectively. The key issue in these debates was whether to set long or short time-of-citizenship requirements. The delegates all agreed that long requirements placed an extra burden on naturalized citizens, but some delegates thought this extra burden was appropriate and others did not. A few of the delegates raised the issue of restricting eligibility to natural-born citizens, but no delegate moved to include such a restriction in the Constitution, and only one delegate, Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, made a statement in support of such a restriction. In contrast, numerous delegates spoke out against long time-of-citizenship requirements and, implicitly, against stronger restrictions on naturalized citizens, such as making them ineligible altogether. The most eloquent statements on this matter come from James Madison, who is often called the father of the Constitution. On August 9, Madison declared that a severe restriction on the rights of naturalized citizens would be "Improper: because it will give a tincture of illiberality to the Constitution." He was seconded by Benjamin Franklin "who was not agst. a reasonable time [that is, a reasonable time-of-citizenship requirement], but should be very sorry to see any thing like illiberality inserted in the Constitution." Further endorsement was provided by James Wilson of Pennsylvania who "remarked the illiberal complexion which the motion [to lengthen the time-of-citizenship requirement] would give to the System." As the delegates used the term, "illiberal" means lacking in individual liberty. Madison blended these two issues in another eloquent statement on August 13. "He wished to maintain the character of liberality which had been professed in all the Constitutions & publications of America." This endorsement of the principles in existing "Constitutions and publications" was then seconded by several other delegates. James Wilson "read the clause in the Constitution of Pena. giving to foreigners after two years residence all the rights whatsoever of Citizens, combined it with the Article of Confederation making the Citizens of one State Citizens of all, inferred the obligation Pena. was under to maintain the faith thus pledged to her citizens of foreign birth." John Mercer of Maryland wanted to "prevent a disfranchisement of persons who had become Citizens under the faith & according to--the laws & Constitution from being on a level in all respects with natives." Nathaniel Gorham of Massachusetts also seems to be referring to existing constitutions in saying "When foreigners are naturalized it wd. seem as if they stand on an equal footing with natives. He doubted then the propriety of giving a retrospective force to the restriction." At the time of independence, eleven of the thirteen original colonies adopted new state constitutions. Not one of these constitutions restricted the rights of naturalized citizens. Two cases are particularly instructive. In Virginia, a draft constitution was written by Thomas Jefferson in June, 1776. This document has special historical significance because it contains a preliminary version of the grievances that would appear in the Declaration of Independence the next month. In addition, this draft includes the following naturalization clause: The draft goes on to say that "every person so qualified to elect shall be capable of being elected" and thereby explicitly makes naturalized citizens eligible for all statewide offices. Although this specific wording was edited out of the final version of the Virginia Constitution, its spirit remained, and this constitution does not place any restrictions on the rights of naturalized citizens. In the case of New York, the constitution of 1776, which was drafted by John Jay, gives the right of suffrage to "every male inhabitant of full age, who shall have personally resided within one of the counties of this State for six months" and who is a "freeholder," that is, a person who owns property. This constitution also says that the "freeholders" must elect the governor, with no explicit statement about the governor's qualification. Among other powers, the governor was declared to "be general and commander-in-chief of all the militia, and admiral of the navy of this State." Finally, this constitution gives the state legislature the power to naturalize foreigners and to make them "subjects of this State," with no qualifications concerning their rights. Demonstrated Trust in Naturalized Citizens Presidents George Washington, John Adams, and James Madison revealed their lack of concern about nativity by, among other things, offering high-level federal positions to some of the foreign-born delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Washington appointed William Paterson and James Wilson to the U.S. Supreme Court; he made James McHenry Secretary of the Army; he offered to make Robert Morris Secretary of the Treasury and then gave the job to Alexander Hamilton when Morris turned him down. Adams kept McHenry and Hamilton in his cabinet, later appointed Hamilton as Inspector-General of the Army, and made William Davie first a brigadier general and then Peace Commissioner to France. Finally, Madison offered Davie an appointment as a major-general, but this offer was declined. An even more dramatic declaration of the Founders' ambivalence, if not outright hostility, toward the natural-born-citizen requirement came out of the U.S. Senate in 1798. In this year, the Senate was full of men who had participated in the founding of the United States. Two senators (John Langdon of New Hampshire and Charles Pinckney of South Carolina) had been delegates to the Constitutional Convention. All but three of the remaining senators had served in at least one of the following: the American Army during the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress, a state convention to ratify the U.S. Constitution, and the House of Representatives. In December, these men elected a naturalized citizen, John Laurance of New York, to be President Pro Tempore of the Senate. During this year, the notorious XYZ affair stirred up American patriotism, and tensions between the United States and both Great Britain and France were very high. In the summer of 1798, the Senate responded by passing the infamous Alien and Sedition Acts, which authorized the President to deport "dangerous" aliens and also imposed penalties for "malicious writing." Moreover, the year before, William Blount, a natural-born citizen who had been a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, was expelled from the Senate for the "high misdemeanor" of conspiring with the British. Despite the turbulence of the times, however, the Senate clearly believed that a man with a distinguished record of service to the United States, namely Laurance, should not be disqualified for the presidency simply because he was born in another country, even a country at odds with the United States. 3. The Case for Removing the Natural-born Citizen Requirement Thanks to 9/11, this country once again finds itself in a time characterized by concern about the influence of foreigners in the United States. Why is this a good time to eliminate the natural-born citizen requirement? In this section, I evaluate key argument for and against such a change. Arguments for Removing the Natural-Born Citizen Requirement The natural-born citizen requirement (including its implicit extension to the Vice President in the Twelfth Amendment) is the only provision in the Constitution, or in our laws, for that matter, that explicitly denies rights to an American citizen based on one of that citizen's indelible characteristics. The equal-rights principle is fundamental to our democracy, and throughout our history we have struggled to extend it. By sanctioning one exception to this principle, we leave open the door to other exceptions. We will strengthen out democracy by closing this door. The Fourteenth Amendment, which is one of the crowning achievements in this nation's struggle to promote equal rights, says, in part, all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. This amendment prohibits the states from treating naturalized citizens any differently from natural-born citizens. The same prohibition should apply to the federal government. As the U.S. Supreme Court said in another context, "it would be unthinkable that the same Constitution would impose a lesser duty on the Federal Government." In the case of the natural-born citizen requirement, however, the Constitution does impose a lesser duty on the Federal Government than the duty imposed on the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. This "unthinkable" contradiction should be removed. Eliminating the natural-born citizen requirement from the Constitution would also send a powerful message to people around the world about this nation's commitment to equal rights. We will judge all or our citizens on their merits, this change would say, not on their place of birth. In these troubled times, a statement of this type can only serve to enhance our reputation as the world's standard bearer for democratic values. Arguments against Removing the Natural-Born Citizen Requirement Some people have argued recently that we need to keep the natural-born citizen requirement because it makes this country safer. This argument is simply not true. The delegates to the Constitutional Convention obviously wanted to protect the United States from foreign influence. This concern played an important role in many of their decisions, including the creation of a strong central government, the design of the Electoral College, and the system of checks and balances. The relationship between foreign influence and the provisions in the Constitution is discussed at length in the Federalist Papers, which are, of course, key documents in interpreting the Founders intentions. Essays 2 through 5, which were written by John Jay, were titled "Concerning Dangers from Foreign Force and Influence." Although the main focus of these essays is on the need for a strong central government to protect a nation from foreign military action, they also suggest that a strong central government can help protect a nation from "foreign influence." Concern about foreign influence also appears in essay 20, written by Hamilton and Madison; essay 43 by Madison; and essays 66, 68, and 75 by Hamilton. The role of the presidential selection mechanism, and in particular of the Electoral College, in limiting foreign influence is explicitly discussed by Hamilton in essay 68. Neither this essay, however, nor any of the others, refers to the natural-born citizen requirement. To these three influential Founders, this requirement is not important enough to mention. Even John Jay, whose letter may have inspired the requirement, does not bring it up. Despite all the protections built into the governmental system created by the Constitution, some people still insist that we gain additional protection from the natural-born citizen requirement. If naturalized citizens were allowed to run for President, these people argue, foreign powers might scheme to have their citizens elected here. In fact, however, this Manchurian Candidate imagery has two major flaws. The first flaw was articulated by Benjamin Franklin at the Constitutional Convention on August 9. He "reminded the Convention that it did not follow from an omission to insert the restriction [in the form of a long time-of-citizenship requirement for naturalized citizens] in the Constitution that the persons in question wd. be actually chosen into the Legislature." Representative Charles T. Canady echoed this point during hearings he convened on this issue in 2000. According to Canady, eliminating the natural-born citizen requirement would not give naturalized citizens "a right to be President"--only a right to run for President. The second flaw in the Manchurian Candidate image is that any foreign power wishing to undermine our government is more likely to use a natural-born citizen than a naturalized one, precisely because of the suspicion falling on naturalized citizens. This argument was forcefully made by Madison at the Constitutional Convention. On August 9 he said that "He was not apprehensive ... that foreign powers would make use of strangers as instruments for their purposes. Their bribes would be expended on men whose circumstances would rather stifle than excite jealousy & watchfulness in the public." He repeated this argument on August 13. "If bribery was to be practised by foreign powers," he said, it would be attempted "among natives having full Confidence of the people not among strangers who would be regarded with a jealous eye." Restricting the rights of all naturalized citizens out of the fear than one of them might try to undermine our government by running for President is an extreme form of profiling with no basis in logic or history. Does it make sense to discriminate against 12.8 million naturalized citizens, including over 250,000 foreign-born adoptees, because one of them might both harbor negative attitudes toward this country and decide to run for President? Of course not: It makes no sense at all. The natural-born citizen requirement may make some people feel better, but it adds nothing of substance to the extensive protection provided by our constitutional election procedures, by our checks and balances, and by the judgment of the American people. Another argument against changing the natural-born citizen requirement is that it is a poor subject for a constitutional amendment, either because it is tied to the political fortunes of a particular person or because it is just not important enough to justify altering the Constitution. A constitutional amendment to eliminate the natural-born citizen requirement might, depending on its time-of-citizenship requirement, enable two current governors, Arnold Schwarzenegger of California and Jennifer Granholm of Michigan to run for President. Both of these governors are naturalized citizens. Some people have argued for or against an amendment because of their feelings about one of these governors. In my view, however, this amendment is about principle, not politics. We do not disqualify other potential presidential candidates on the basis of their experience or their stands on substantive issues, and we should not disqualify Governors Schwarzenegger or Granholm, either. The principle of equal rights for all American citizens should not have an exception based on nativity--or on any other indelible characteristic--and these two governors should be allowed to run for President if they choose to do so. The argument that presidential eligibility is not substantive enough for a constitutional amendment also does not hold up under scrutiny. The distinguished, non-partisan organization called the Constitution Project has developed a series of guidelines for constitutional amendments. According to these guidelines, a constitutional amendment "should address matters ... that are likely to be recognized as of abiding importance by subsequent generations," "should be utilized only when there are significant practical or legal obstacles to the achievement of the same objectives by other means;" "should not be adopted when they would damage the cohesiveness of constitutional doctrine as a whole;" and "should embody enforceable, and not purely aspirational, guidelines." 4. A Simple Matter of Equal Rights The principles on which our democracy is founded need to be protected, extended, and reaffirmed. The Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment (with a 20-year time-of-citizenship requirement) introduced by Senator Hatch and Representative Rohrabacher and the President and Vice President Eligibility for Office Bill (with a 35-year time-of-citizenship requirement) introduced by Representatives Snyder, Issa, and Frank provide an opportunity to protect, extend, and reaffirm one of our most fundamental principles, namely, the principle that all American citizens should have equal rights. The Natural Born Citizen Act moves move toward equal rights without a constitutional amendment; it creates equal rights for foreign-born adoptees, like my son, but not for most naturalized citizens. In practical terms, the right to run for President is not the most important right a citizen can have. After all, the vast majority of American citizens will never attempt to run for President. In symbolic terms, however, the right to run for President is vitally important. Commentators, politicians, and teachers are fond of saying that the United States is a country where anyone can grow up to be President, because this expression conveys the essence of our democracy. This expression clearly sends the signal that political offices in this country are not inherited or restricted to a select few, but instead are open to anyone who can convince the voters of his or her merit. This message gets through. In an ABC News poll taken earlier this year, 54 percent of Americans between the ages of 12 and 17 believe they could grow up to be President. The power of this symbolism was brought home to me just a few days ago. On September 22, the Syracuse Post-Standard wrote an editorial in support of the amendments to eliminate the natural-born citizen requirement that were introduced by Senator Hatch and Representative Rohrabacher. The author of this editorial knew about me and my work because of my testimony before a House Committee in 2000, and the editorial contained a quote from me and mentioned by son, Jonah. The next day I received a letter in the mail from Ms. Cathy Fedrizzi, one of my son's second-grade teachers. Here is some of what this letter said: Dear Dr. Yinger, As I read this morning's editorial about Jonah, I had a feeling this would be a hard day. I was scheduled to visit Jonah's class to teach about the upcoming election. Part of my lesson involves teaching about who is eligible to become president... ....As we worked our way through the lesson, I noticed Jonah sitting on the edge of the group. That's unusual for Jonah...whenever I've taught guest lessons before, he's been front and center, so I had a feeling he wasn't happy. Before I got to the rules for becoming President, he told me the rule about being born a citizen. I explained that some laws are made a long time ago and seem like a good idea at the time, but I didn't like the law the way it was either. He didn't seem satisfied with my answer, and neither was I. I feel sad every time this situation occurs. .... I hope that some day, before I stop teaching, I can tell eight year old students that anyone sitting on the floor at my feet could one day be president of the United States. My son should not have to feel this way. No American second grader should have to feel this way. No American citizen should have to feel this way. I urge the members of this committee, and indeed all members of Congress, to support Senator Hatch's Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment, one of the comparable amendments introduced in the House, or, as a second-best solution, the bill proposed by Senator Nickles. Let us renew our commitment to the equal-rights principle, one of the cornerstones of our democracy, by giving naturalized citizens the right to run for President. |

The whimsical indie pop group Scouting for Girls formed in 2005 in London, playfully modeling their name after a scouting handbook (Scouting for Boys) published in the early years of the 20th century. Members Greg Churchouse, Peter Ellard, and Roy Stride signed with Epic Records in early 2007 and released their first EP single, "It's Not About You," that June. Soon after, the band's self-titled debut reached the top slot on the U.K. album charts, thanks to the popularity of such singles as "She's So Lovely," "Elvis Ain't Dead," and "Heartbeat." The band returned to the studio in 2009, and the following year released its second album, Everybody Wants to Be on TV, on Epic. ~ Chris True

SHENANDOAH – In a season where he's totaled 71 tackles, 30 of those for a loss, one thing hasn't happened much for Nederland senior defensive end Koby Couron. He hasn't seen many players escape his grasp.
But, that's exactly what happened on Pflugerville Connally's first offensive play, as senior running back LaDaedrix Payton blasted past Couron, carrying him for a six yard run. It was the first salvo in a series of running battles between the powerful Payton and the equally powerful Nederland defensive front during Nederland's 17-10 second-round playoff victory.
"I know we're a good tackling football team, but it didn't look it tonight," Nederland head coach Larry Neumann said after the game. "More of that had to do with him. He's got powerful thighs and you just couldn't get him. You couldn't get a grip on him. Give him credit. He's better live than I thought. I knew he was good on video, but live, he looked better, knowing who he was going up against and breaking tackles."
Payton had 924 rushing yards during the regular season, averaging 6.65 yards per carry. Against Nederland, though, Payton was asked to double up and play quarterback in a Wildcat offense after starting QB Dajon Williams suffered a concussion against Montgomery.
Before the game, Neumann said his scouts heard people refer to Payton as "Little Ricky," as in former University of Texas and NFL running back Ricky Wiliams. It's easy to see why the two were compared, as Payton had a hard-charging running style with strong thighs that made him very hard to bring down.
"He slips tackles a lot," Nederland defensive tackle Brock Pryor said. "He's pretty tough. If you can't get wrapped around him, he's probably going to break the tackle and need a second tackle to get him down."
Most of the Nederland defenders were victimized by Payton's running style, including Pryor, who saw Payton run through one of his tackles in the second quarter. To counter Payton, Nederland resorted to sheer numbers.
If one Bulldog couldn't bring him down, they sent two or three to do the job.
"We're going to work on tackling and all that, but we're in Week 13," Neumann said. "I think we can tackle, we just ran into a really good runner tonight. If anything, it'll make us concentrate on locking up a little bit better at this point in the season."
Payton finished the game with 127 rushing yards on 22 carries, but had just one more run of 10 yards or more (5) than he did rushes for negative yardage (4). Also, the Bulldogs were able to hold him to one or fewer yards on nine carries.
If not for a 53-yard scamper on the first play of a drive in the third quarter, Payton may not have crossed the 100-yard mark for the game.
It was also another in a strong run of performances for the Nederland defense against top running backs. This season, Nederland has faced five backs who had at least 1,000 yards rushing. The Bulldogs held four of the five under their season average and all but LC-M's Alex Sezer under 120 yards.
In their first game of the season, the Bulldogs held Crosby's Austin Walter to just 58 yards. He would rush for an average of 178 yards per game in his next nine contests. Against District 20-4A's leading rusher Montana Quirante, Nederland held him to just 113 yards. Quirante averaged 175 yards in his other nine games.
Beaumont Ozen's Jakobi Jones was also held in check, gaining just 55 yards while he averaged 110 yards in his other nine games. The only back to really gash Nederland this year has been Texas A&M commit Sezer, who gained 178 yards on 27 carries. Sezer only averaged 124 yards in his other nine games.
Nederland will need all the help it can get stopping the run Friday night at Reliant Stadium against Pearland Dawson's standout running back James White. Last season, White rushed for 145 yards on 15 carries against Nederland in the third round of the playoffs.
This year, the 6-foot, 190 pound White, who is also committed to Texas A&M, has rushed for 2,094 yards and 28 touchdowns while averaging 8 yards per carry. That included a 222-yard effort against Stratford on Friday to push the Eagles into the third round of the playoffs.
"We'll have to be better than we were and better than we have been all year to have a chance," Neumann said. "Our coaches know it, our kids know it and Dawson knows it too. We're going to try and have a great effort and we're excited about the opportunity. Hopefully, we'll play at a level we haven't played at all year."

I've installed this rom and the gapps yet none of the gapps show up. Is there a reason for this?
Go to the terminal app, and do "df" (without quotes). If you have less than 160MB on /system partition, you have to TPT to get at least 160MB on system partition. If you have 160MB or more, on clockworkmod, search for and format /system, and then install the rom and only then the gapps..

VIDEO: Boys Noize Releases 'What You Want' Music Video
Today Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) shares his new music video for "What You Want", directed by Patrick Jean, from his critically acclaimed album Out Of The Black. Watch it below!
Boys Noize explains: "This video was designed as a short film narrating the story of an everyday, normal guy moving in a neighborhood where everybody has superpowers. There, he discovers a mysterious cult of superheroes... The idea was to interpret the lyrics "what you want/what you get" as a metaphor of consumerism. It's also a reflection on the concept of normality. In a world where singularity is the norm, is being normal making you the exception? Then, the goal was just to have fun with costumes and visual effects. We wanted to communicate this awkward feeling you have when you're at a costume party, but you're the only one not wearing a costume."
On Boys Noize's third album Out Of The Black, which came out last year via his own label Boysnoize Records, Alexander Ridha returned with his most proud and critically acclaimed album to date. Some stand out tracks on the album are the singles "What You Want", "XTC", "Reality", and Snoop Dogg quoted the album closer "Got It" as "Classic Snoop ishh" sounding.

Description | [edit] |
Looking over the left shoulder of Jillian's megalogwiff, we see the two flights arrayed against each other: spongy gwiffons and their larger ilk float above, to the side, and in front of Jillian, who gestures with her huge sword. Behind its equally mammoth scabbard, Vanna clings to her back. On one of the forward gwiffons is a figure dressed all in black with an orange-brown head and a tiny black hat. Opposite the forces of Faq are the Gobwin Knob forces, rows of dwagons of all colors and additional floating ranks of Decrypted Archons.

C'Shores Council to hold hearing on ETJ ordinance extensionFebruary 07, 2013, 9:50 pm by Alexandria Randolph Cottonwood Shores City Council voted Thursday to schedule a public hearing on the issue of including the citys ETJ in the building and zoning code ordinances.

Another idea for Apple's rumored TV: An 'iDevice'
It still may be a down economy for many, but the veritable cottage industry for jockeying when Apple will enter the TV business is booming. The latest to weigh in on the topic is Forrester analyst James McQuivey with a suggestion that Apple ought to offer a device that sounds to me like something between a giant iPad, and Microsoft's latest version of its Surface computer.
Without mentioning Microsoft's table computing product, which was revamped last January to work both as a table and mounted to a wall, McQuivey suggests a TV set from Apple would be more … Read more

text: The Basilica is an important example of Roman and early-Christian architecture. It is fronted by sixteen Corinthian columns from a 3rd century Roman temple and a courtyard with a bronze copy of the statue of Emperor Constantine in the centre. The basilica was built at the end of the 4th century, but through the years part of it collapsed. It was restored in 1911, 1916, and 1937-38, and can now be appreciated as a mainly early-Christian construction, with Romanesque and late fifteenth century additions.

Actor and singer Jesse Borrego is philosophical about Salute's demise, saying that it's part of the cycle of the bar business and the end of an era.
"It's time for the new generation to take over," said Borrego, 49. "It's gonna be tough to let that go. But even in the demise, we're making new memories right here and now."
Borrego's connection to Azeneth Dominguez's bar, which closes this weekend after 25 years, goes back to its earliest days with his punky band Los Muertos. Borrego explained that he and his dad dropped out of that act fairly quickly because it veered toward Chicano rock.
He says he's proud to perform there one more time with his father, singer and accordionist Jesse Borrego Sr. The actor is helping to produce an album for him with the band at Blue Cat Studios in Southtown.
"This is the first time that we've ever done a traditional conjunto with him," Borrego said. "I wanted to make sure we got it on tape instead of just being a band that plays around town. He's loving it."
In a nightclub situation, Conjunto Borrego plays rancheras, polkas and cumbias. The new album is aimed at spotlighting his dad's "artistic" knack for danzon and boleros. "It's his legacy," Borrego said.
One of Borrego's favorite memories was getting MTV's Daisy Fuentes to come and visit the bar for a "Street Scene" segment during the early '90s.
"We got to Daisy to walk in the door, and we were onstage there at Salute," Borrego recounted. "That was a great memory to get Daisy there."
Borrego also starred in the Jorge Sandoval film "City of Passion," which used Salute as a backdrop. "In the film, you see Salute the way it was," he said. "Valerio Longoria played the band onstage."
About Salute closing: "A lot of times, the choices are made for us," Borrego said. "We'd love to hold on to the things that are dear to us. But in another sense it's good to be able to evolve.
He met artist Jesse Trevino there.
"The memories are still there. The greats were still there," Borrego continued. "It's time for the new generation. For the new generation guys, the trick is going to be to find another place like Salute that supports that types of movement. Azeneth not only had the classicos there, she also had a lot of the young cats coming up . . . she always supported the local artists."

Perfect gift
Classic design enhanced by the contrasting textures and use of tri-color gold was perfect for a gift. Arrived in a plush gift bag, and looked as beautiful in person as on the website. Could be enhanced by the addition of comfort-back keepers.
Look great, classic gold earrings. Only comment would be to be careful of the post - it is very easily bent and the backs are not very tight.
Look and feel more expensive than the price
They are heavier than I thought...feels good quality an sturdy construction. Not heavy on the ears when wearing.
My wife love them!
These are beautiful, very well made with great detail. My wife absolutley loves them.
Buy them!!
Loved my 14k Tri-color Gold earrings, wear them everyday and they go well with my Gold, Rose, & Silver watch! Very happy with this purchase, perfect size too, and arrived fast!
Well pleased.
They were a birthday present for my wife and she was very pleased.
Nice size, looks good with almost everything.
Love these earrings. I needed an everyday go-to stud that would look appropriate with business wear and go with almost everything, and this fits the bill. They do not look cheap in person, would definitely recommend them.
fine for the price.
they were pretty, but very light and hollow, not much gold there.
Great knots!
They arrived quickly; were as shown; had nice long 10mm posts in yellow gold. Happy with the purchase - a 16th Birthday present for granddaughter.
Love them. Goes with anything
These earrings were an anniversary gift from my husband. They're perfect! Not too big or too small; the yellow gold/rose gold/white gold blend together beautifully. Goes with anything. My new favorite pair!
Great pair of earrings! Simple and sophisticated at the same time. These can be worn with any oufit to any event.
Very nice
My wife wanted knot earrings specifically and I searched many sites including Tiffany's. These were the best ones I saw and my wife loved these!
Can't be better!
Love knot earrings are very common. But, the ones I got from Blue Nile are just so unique due to their intricate design and intertwining of plain and textured gold and that too in 3 colors! - I am extremely pleased with them.
Elegant earrings
I purchased these earrings for a friend who loves mixing pink and white gold. Definitely has a classy look to them.
Previous comments on how pleased a buyer was with these earrings helped me decide to buy. It is not easy to find silver and gold with a gold post in 14k for a reasonable price. The size is good...not tiny.....wearing them today....
Great gift
I gave one to one of my very good friends and she absolutely loved it. I almost kept it for myself. Its a beautiful piece and you can't beat the price. I'm purchasing another for my mother and I.
These are beautiful - a nice size without being too large/heavy. The tri-color gold is lovely, and the edging is easily visible. So happy with them that I bought a second pair as a gift!
I love them
I bought these earrings for myself as a birthday gift and they did not disappoint! The tri-gold colors are beautiful and go with anything you wear. I also love the woven details on them.
I did notice that one of the posts are ever so slightly bent. That doesn't change my opinion...they are beautiful earrings.
Exactly as shown in picture. Goes with all other jewelry that is gold or silver. Have received many compliments on how unique they are.

Great Top
By CHRISTINE
from OSHAWA
This is a great top. The material is lightweight but not flimsy. It is like taking your basic T-shirt up a notch by adding the lace detail. Just wear a black bra underneath and you are good to go. As far as sizing goes, if you are on the border between sizes as I am (s/m) go up a size. I ordered the medium and it fit perfect.

There's an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come
Oh yeah
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew
What was up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come
Oh yeah
I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please?"
He said, "Good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees
Yes I was, oh
There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now I believe
That I'm able, I'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been along
And oh it's been an uphill journey
All the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes I had to cry all night long
Yes I did
Sometimes I had to give up right
For what I knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin'
Yes it has
It's been real hard
Every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin' my change is come
Yeah I tell you that
My change is come

- 14 Jul 2013 Björn
- " Very big hostel with lots of people going in and out. The breakfast was fine and the place was pretty clean. The directions are a little confusing. Just a tip, once you get off the tram from the train station, turn right and walk down the street to find the hostel (not to the left uphill because that is wrong). "
- 16 Jun 2013 Anonymous USA
- " If you're booking this hostel because it's the cheapest one on the website, consider the fact that they force you to buy a membership that costs 6 Swiss Franc PER PERSON before allowing you to check-in. "
- 12 Jun 2013 Anonymous Canada
- " The 4 bed dorm had a sink ensuite, with toilet/shower shared on the same floor. This was great and made for less noise in the room. Free breakfast was the best of the whole trip lots of fresh choices to eat. Location was in a quiet neighborhood with very easy to access by tram and a short walk. The cafe/food/souvenirs they sell are extremely expensive. Better off buying snacks/food/drink at the Migros market nearby. Wifi does not work in rooms, so everyone hangs out in the lobby for wifi. "

The program stays in compliance by differentiating between mandatory practices and voluntary development. Weight lifting and conditioning, batting practice, pitching practice, etc. are all voluntary and therefore do not count against the NCAA allotted time. And, every team and every sport plays the exact same game.It is my understanding that the players are typically in the clubhouse by noon every week day (except Mondays - Mondays are there designated days off) and typically leave the clubhouse around 7:00. Weekends are typically shorter - only about 4 hours per day. To manage this schedule and still get their grades these young men show an unbelievable amount of discipline and time management. The physical and mental exhaustion they must experience is unbelievable. This effort is truly commendable. And the coaching staff and the support staff also do an unbelievable job helping the players accomplish this formidable task.

QE 3 will undoubtably drop the value of the US dollar against well parried currencies. Which will help boost exports, particularly in the agriculture and manufacturing industries which are sitting at 15% of total GDP, collectively. This leaves lots of room for growth, both in domestic and international markets. It wont happen overnight, however this boost will pave way for new technologies in both sectors and strengthen the U.S economy in the long run.
Having such a heavy debt burden in times like these also forces policy makers to spend cash where it is needed and to cut spending where it is not. It also works as a cushion for the economy. Inflation like all economic factors is cyclical and should wither away during this period. So long as the American consumers switch the button in their brains from "Spend" to "Save". Probably looking at a bear for the next 5-10 years then a new wave of tech producing a bull market. Exit Mom and Dad investors, enter the value investors.
Articles forecasting doom are actually quite humorous, the U.S economy has the ability to turn weakness into strength within a decade and a little reform. Just check the last few bear markets out and you'll see who comes out clear winner each time..
VERY disappointing payroll numbers, added to the mess in Europe, are weighing on markets today*. The headline was just 69,000, the previous numbers were revised down and the rate edged up again to 8.2%. They will be doing high fives at Romney HQ; this plays into the wrecked economy thesis.
So if economies are slowing, what can the authorities do? The US could, in theory, try fiscal stimulus; after all, its borrowing costs are close to all-time lows. But politically, that's impossible; Congress will never agree. So the Fed will have to start thinking about another round of QE. Will it work? Regular readers will know this blogger has his doubts but let's hope it does. The same reasoning may apply in the UK, where today's manufacturing PMI showed a sharp fall; this will be blamed on austerity even though the actual data showed a 1.6% rise in government spending (ignoring transfer payments like unemployment benefits) in the first quarter. Still, the Bank of England may well do some more QE; at least inflation is falling now. And the euro soap opera may yet have reached such a pitch that the ECB shifts policy again. With the Swiss still trying to drive down the franc and the Japanese threatening more intervention to cap the yen, we could have all the leading central banks turning on the taps this summer. It could make for some very volatile markets, not least in currencies.
* That will teach me not to indulge in bullishness.

December 25, 2013 - Got the turquoise one of these. Very pretty, loved the elegance of it.
December 21, 2013 - Purchased all three colors for my nieces. I believe they will love that they are all similar designs and similar necklaces, but each unique-just like they are. All of them are beautiful. And they will love the cause behind the necklace.
December 17, 2013 - The necklace is beautiful...all of the gifts for my coworkers this year came from the greater good site. So not only will they like their gifts but I know they will feel better about receiving them :)
October 15, 2013 - I bought this necklace in purple. Not only is the color a perfect shade of purple, the quality is amazing! I will be purchasing the matching earrings, along with the turquoise set. I'm thinking about the green as a Christmas present for my daughter. :)
September 24, 2013 - Chalk up another five stars for this unbelievably beautiful necklace. I purchased the purple as a gift for a friend and when I saw how beautiful it is, I had to order a turquoise for me. Simple, lovely, and underpriced.
