This is a test …March 10th, 2014
… To see if I can blog from my phone. I can't believe I didn't think of this a long time ago.
11th Blogiversary!December 30th, 2013
Yes, it was 11 years ago tonight that I took the plunge and made myself start a blog. It was so long ago, not everybody knew what a blog was back then, but there were still quite a few of us in 2002 and 2003 that were eagerly jumping into this new medium — so many that at the end of 2003, ABC News named The Blogger as their Person of the Year. And I was part of it! Now, of course, all that excitement has subsided, and blogs have gone mainstream and establishment, and, in some cases, started to supplant the role of Big Media in several areas.
Translation: Blogging isn't as much fun now. Still, I maintain my blog, mostly as a placeholder for my domain name, and for documenting significant life events, such as the stroke I had back in May …
What, I didn't mention my stroke? I blogged all about it on Facebook, keep up.
Seriously, though, yes, I'll post more about that tomorrow, in kind of a year-in-review thing. including pictures.
But still, back to the focus of this post: My 11-year blogiversary! Yay!
Spook music …April 10th, 2013
NaBloPoMo Day 10: Okay, I missed day 9.
But onward and upward. Tomorrow is the birthday of The Spook, my old college buddy as you might recall, and designer/maker of this blog's metal logo whose photograph appears at the top of this page, so today's post is a series of music videos for his listening enjoyment:
So that's it! Happy birthday!
April 7th, 2013
NaBloPoMo Day 7:
Winter is coming to an end, and before too long it'll be too hot to use the stove — in fact, there will be a time in August when even the thought of hot food won't be appetizing. We won't want to do anything but sit on the couch and suck on frozen dinners.
But I digress: My wife took advantage of our semi-cool weather today to roast two big trays of fresh vegetables:
And that picture brings up an interesting point: I do most of my blogging on Facebook now, and I notice that I can link to something really interesting, or carefully craft a very clever paragraph, and my FB followers will totally ignore it — but I publish a picture of a particularly eye-pleasing lunch or dinner, and my likes and comments will explode.
I'm beginning to think I missed the boat: I should look into being a food blogger …
April 7th, 2013
NaBloPoMo Day 6:
So as I mentioned earlier this week, we recently got AT&T Uverse, which also means DVR, which also means we can now watch things that are only broadcast in the middle of the night, including a fascinating video art series called "Off The Air", which is broadcast sporadically by Cartoon Network. I tried to embed a video here, but it's not working, so here's a link to all the videos.
Warning: It gets a little weird, so don't bother if you have a low tolerance for such things. On the other hand, if you're a pothead, you'll be happy as a stone little clam with a fresh bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.
April 7th, 2013
NaBloPoMo Day 5: I don't want to spend a lot of time on this tonight, so, on this month's topic of "Fresh", here's Fresh Prince of Bel Air memes!
April 4th, 2013
NaBloPoMo Day 4: Missed day 3 — OOPS!
Anyway, in keeping with the April topic of "Fresh", we recently got AT&T Uverse — We've wanted it for a long time, but they only recently expanded into our area. Not only is it great, but the whole home package is about $60 less than our previous total for Time Warner Cable and AT&T phone and internet!
Not only are our download speeds 8 times better on this new plan than before, but now we're getting tons more channels, and most of them are HD — in every room! With TWC, we only had the cable box in one room, and that was the only one that we could get the three-digit channels on, not to mention any four-digit channels at all.
And now, I don't work for AT&T, and I'm not getting paid for saying this. In fact, Uverse gave us a lot of problems at first, four significant ones, in fact, stemming from the installation (1. No wifi outside of the computer room; 2. After that problem was fixed, one of our TVs stopped getting a signal from its box; 3. The Uverse power supply in the garage was beeping at all hours of the day or night; and 4. Well, that's an entirely separate post!). But in spite of all that, we still LOVE Uverse.
So, yes, this is a huge new [Fresh!] development in our lives — not just the new channels, but also the easy-to-use DVR system and the extended show info screens.
I highly recommend it.
April 2nd, 2013
NaBloPoMo Day 2: Since the topic is "Fresh", it's appropriate that on Sunday, the Wife decreed that the annual Purification of the Covered Patio commence, culminating in the ritual Pine-Soling of the Porch. Verily, many leaves were swept that day, and several plastic patio chairs were hosed. To paraphrase Invader Zim, Piney-fresh victory is ours!
Poppin' "Fresh"!April 1st, 2013
Okay! I've been meaning to add some fresh posts to my blog, since I intend to kick my career networking mojo into high gear, and having a thriving, current blog would be a huge part of that … and then today, first day of the month, I hear about this National Blog Post Month (NaBloPoMo), similar to NaNoWriMo and NaMoSoAlMo, but not as grueling and yet funnier sounding) — and hey! Just what the "doctor" ordered! [Figure of speech: No actual medical professionals were involved.]
Plus, the theme is "Fresh", which couldn't be more appropriate. My only reservation [Figure of speech: No actual Native American lands, yada yada ...] is that the site sponsoring t his is BlogHer, and I am, through no fault of my own, a blogHIM.
Maybe no one from there will read this, or having read, rat me out.
ANYWAY: Whether or not I'm "officially participating", I have an impetus (look it up — Seriously, look it up, I might be using it wrong) to post daily, plus, I can feel my old blogger-smartassiness raising its unattractive head, and that is a victory in itself.
So keep checking in, and buckle your social media belt. It's gonna be a bumpy month.

The cervix is the tissue that leads from the uterus into the vagina.
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. It is a cancer of the epithelial tissue of the cervix. Pap smear is the screening procedure used to detect cervical cancer. Limited or early cervical cancer (carcinoma in situ, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or dysplasia) requires treatment with ablation therapy, usually in the form of cervical cryotherapy, or a more extensive procedure, called conization, which removes more tissue.
Ablation therapy is frequently performed using a cryoprobe. A hollow metal probe, through which flows extremely cold liquid nitrogen, is inserted into the vagina and applied to the cervix and held in place for 5-10 minutes. This freezes, and thus destroys, the superficial tissues of the cervix which contains the dysplastic tissue.
Conization is a procedure in which a "cone" of tissue is removed. This procedure is performed for more advanced cervical dysplasia, which remains limited to the cervix (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, high grade). It allows the surgeon to remove more cervical tissue. Conization is performed using either a knife, laser, or electrocautery. LEEP, or the loop electrosurgical excision procedure is the term used for conization electrocautery. In this procedure, an electric current is run through a loop of wire, which is used to perform the conization. It is the most common method used for conization.
If the tissue removed by conization shows residual tumor, or invasive cancer, then further treatment is necessary. This often consists of surgical removal of the uterus and cervix (hysterectomy).

Germany OK with 'Valkyrie' filming
The Defense Ministry on Thursday moved to qualify news reports this week that it would ban "Valkyrie" from shooting at German military sites because of star Cruise's belief in the Church of Scientology.
The ministry now says that while it hasn't received an official request from "Valkyrie" producers United Artists to shoot in the country, it would "look agreeably" upon any such application.
"We have always believed Germany was the only place to shoot 'Valkyrie,' as it was the country where this incredible story took place. We are very happy that any apparent misunderstandings surrounding the production are clearing up," said Dennis Rice, president of worldwide marketing and publicity at UA.
The film, slated for a 2008 release, tells the true story of Col. Claus von Stauffenberg (Cruise), the leader of a failed German military plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944. The film's title comes from Operation Valkyrie, the plot's code name.
The producers have expressed interest in shooting at the Bendlerblock memorial in Berlin. It is the actual location where Stauffenberg and his fellow conspirators hatched the plot to assassinate Hitler with a bomb hidden in a briefcase. It also is where Stauffenberg and the other plotters were executed after the attempt failed.
Now a memorial site, the Bendlerblock also houses part of the Defense Ministry.
The Defense Ministry said Thursday that it wasn't even responsible for approving film shoots at Bendlerblock because it is a tenant on the land. The location is under the authority of Germany's Finance Ministry, a Defense Ministry spokesman said.
The source of the "Valkyrie" controversy seems to have stemmed from a posting on the Web site of conservative German member of parliament Antje Blumenthal. Blumenthal posted a statement Friday claiming that Defense Minister Franz-Josef Jung pledged to her that Cruise would not get permission to shoot because of the purported danger posed by his Scientology.
Blumenthal is a cult expert for the conservative CDU/CSU party and a longtime opponent of Scientology.
The German government does not recognize Scientology as a religion and sees it instead as a dangerous cult that brainwashes and exploits its members. Scientology is under observation by Germany authorities as a potential threat to German democracy, putting the organization on par with neo-Nazi groups.
Germany's film industry, however, has embraced the "Valkyrie" project.
The heads of Studio Babelsberg, Christoph Fisser and Carl Woebcken, on Thursday praised "Valkyrie" as one of the "too-few examples of military opposition to Hitler's regime."
Fisser and Woebcken are in negotiations with UA to join the project as co-producers. If UA's Gil Adler and Paula Wagner, who are in Berlin, reach a deal, "Valkyrie" could begin shooting at Babelsberg next month.
"The assassination attempt against Hitler is hardly known outside Germany," Fisser said. "We should therefore be delighted and welcome this wonderful opportunity to improve the image of our country. We are particularly proud that a producer and director of the Jewish faith would come here to shoot a film about the German resistance to Hitler."

Natural- born citizen definedSubmitted by stm on Wed, 08/21/2013 - 00:11
FACT: The US Constitution requires the president to be a NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN
FACT: John Jay wrote a letter to George Washington suggesting the requirement be made
FACT: The description of natural-born citizen was derived from Vattel's work, Law of Nations § 212
FACT: In the SCOTUS decision, The Venus, 1814, Justice Marshall defines 'natural-born citizen' using Vattel's work, but in his own words saying, (#123) 'Vattel, who, though not very full to this point, is more explicit and more satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says, 'the citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or indigenes, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.'
FACT: During the 2nd Session of the 37th Congress in 1862, Mr Bingham defined 'natural-born citizen' on the House floor and NONE disputed his definition. To the nest of my knowledge, NO ONE has ever disputed this definition on either the House or Senate floor since, so the definition of 'natural-born citizens' remains as such (as per last sentence of this paragraph):
"The Constitution leaves no room for doubt upon this subject. The words "natural-born citizen of the United States" occur in it, and the other provision also occurs in it that "Congress shall have power to pass a uniform system of naturalization." To naturalize a person is to admit him to citizenship. Who are natural-born citizens but those born within the Republic? Those born within the Republic, whether black or white, are citizens by birth - natural-born citizens. There is no such word as white in your Constitution. Citizenship, therefore, does not depend upon complexion say more than it depends upon the rights of election or of office. All from other lands, who, by the terms of your laws and a compliance with their provisions becomes naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural-born citizens." (emphasis mine)
To read for yourself, click on link below, click pp 961-1920, type in 1639 in box next to 'Turn to image', click on 'Turn to image'. The above quote is in column 1, paragraph 3.
I would advise everyone to print the image of that page before they 'disappear it'.
I do not know what more proof is needed. It is clear - a natural born citizen is a child born of TWO parents of the same citizenship. This is 'jus sanguinis' not 'jus soli'. It is our duty to know our laws so none pervert them.
Cruz is INELEIGIBLE to be President and so is Obama but in this lawless country no one seems to know how to rectify the latter problem.
- Login to post comments
Do who is not a natural born citizen?
McCain was born for US citizen parents, but in Panama, not even on a US military base.
Cruz was born in Canada of one non-US citizen parent and one US citizen parent.
Obama alleges he was born in the US, but to one non-US citizen parent and one US citizen parent.
To me it looks clear that you must be born within US territorial borders to parents who are both US citizens at the time of your birth to qualify as a natural born citizen.
If someone runs for President and is not a natural born citizen, which he clearly would know, how could anyone possibly think he would respect the rest of the Constitution? Obama has proved that point many times over.
"Bend over and grab your ankles" should be etched in stone at the entrance to every government building and every government office.
No matter how they were born
They sure were not elected in free and fair elections.
For those who are interested
For those who are interested in studying the issue of natural born citizen in much greater depth, I strongly recommend that you check out an expert in the field, New Jersey attorney Mario Appuzzo, who has done extensive research, written extensively on the matter and has brought numerous lawsuits challenging the presidential eligibility of Barack Obama and others. A sample of his writing follows:
Mario Apuzzo, Esq. said...
The Founders, Framers, and Ratifiers relied upon ancient Latin maxims to interpret laws and they would expect us today to do the same when interpreting the Constitution.
"Salus populi suprema lex" was a cardinal maxim of the ancient Roman empire. It means the welfare of the people is the supreme law. Black's Law Dictionary 1202 (5th ed. 1979).
Using this maxim, we are told that we are to interpret the "natural born Citizen" clause in the best interest of the nation and its people.
The Founders, Framers, and Ratifiers believed that allegiance to a nation, its people, and their ideals best promoted and preserved that nation, its people, and their ideals. Hence, they believed that allegiance promote the welfare of the people.
Of all public offices mentioned in the Constitution, only the President/Commander in Chief of the Military and Vice-President are required to be "natural born Citizens." These are unique, singular and all-powerful civil and military positions. With the clause applying only to the unique constitutional office of President and Commander (the Vice-President was included by the Twelfth Amendment ratified in 1804), the Founders, Framers, and Ratifiers told us that we are to give to the clause the highest level of allegiance, for they expected the President to possess that high level of allegiance to the nation and its people. Hence, among all our citizens, it is only the "natural born Citizen" which requires the highest form of allegiance.
With the meaning of the clause being driven by its attachment to the unique office of President and Commander in Chief of the Military, and with those offices requiring that they be held by persons possessing the highest form of allegiance, the clause can only mean a child born in the country to parents who were its "citizens" at the time of the child's birth. Born under such circumstances, the child is born with allegiance, faith, and loyalty only to the United States. Any other selected birth circumstances under the Fourteenth Amendment or Acts of Congress, while sufficient to produce membership in our nation which our Constitution calls "citizen of the United States," do not satisfy such a high standard of allegiance, for the member of our nation is allowed to be born with dual or triple conflicting allegiances. Such conflicting allegiances create doubt, whether real or imagined, in the total and unqualified commitment of the President and Commander in Chief to the United States. In matters of protecting American institutions, foreign relations, national security, and war, such doubts cannot be allowed to exist.
So, if we are to correctly interpret the "natural born Citizen" clause, which applies only to the Office of President/Commander in Chief of the Military and Vice-President, we must give to the clause the requirement of possessing the highest level of allegiance from the moment of birth. It is this high level of allegiance, held by the singular and all-powerful President from the moment of birth, which will best promote and preserve the nation, its people, and their ideals. This means that any person to be a "natural born Citizen" must be born in the country to parents who were its citizens at the time of the child's birth.

McCain Born In A "Colon"?? Ha Ha
I knew it! He's a P.O.S.!! Someone in Panama says "Excuse me. I have to go launch a democrat." Then after giving birth to McCain, notices the sign near the commode: FLUSH TWICE. IT'S A LONG WAY TO WASHINGTON!! Ha! Talk about natural born, What's more natural than pinching a loaf? Maybe that's why he's in the GOP-to hide the fact that he was born a democrat!
"...taxes are not raised to carry on wars, but that wars are raised to carry on taxes"
Thomas Paine, Rights of Man
Vattel is quite clear:
"The natives, or indigenes, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights."
Vattel acknowledges that countries may not be able to sustain and perpetuate themselves with children born in the country to citizen parents. For those children who are not born in the country to citizen parents, their rights of citizenship and inheritance follow the condition of their fathers.
Under this reading, Obama, Cruz, Jindall and Rubio (who are not natural born citizens) follow the condition of their fathers. Obama inherits British citizenship, Cruz and Rubio inherit Cuba citizenship, and Jindal inherits the condition of his father, a citizen of India.
Although the United States recognizes dual citizenship, dual citizenship is citizenship by law and can never be interpreted as natural born.
The major issue to this is
The major issue to this is that it violates the Equal Protection Clause. The government cannot say that "men can pass their citizenship on to their children" without saying that "women can pass their citizenship on to their children".
Now, you may say that this now means that you need both parents to be citizens. However, the 14th amendmentw as clear in that it does not mean to take away any rights or priviledges, but can be used to grant or extend priviledges. So the logical conclusion would be that both men and women can pass their citizenship on to their children.
More to the point, there are also many writings that simply say that natural-born citizen is a citizen who gets his citizenship by value of his birth...they don't have to go to a naturalization process. This would incluse anyone born in the US or those born to American abroad. Yes, in the latter case, you have to file paperwork to become a citizen. But, you technically have to do the same for any baby born here; you need to get a birth certificate, etc. It is simply an easier process.

seems to contradict your statement in the preceding paragraph.
which is it?

Ron Paul
I am merely pointing out
I am merely pointing out multiple ways of looking at it. The EPC argument is given a certain definition of natural-born citizen. The second argument I made is a rebuttal of that very definition of natural-born citizen.

the definition of a natural born citizen
as required by the Constitution does not violate the EPC.
the goal being to prevent foreign influence from gaining the presidency.
both parents must be citizens, the child must be born on us soil.
any other definition renders the clause useless. why is there such intent to create a gray area where there is none?
"The two weakest arguments for any issue on the House floor are moral and constitutional"
Ron Paul
Considering Perkins vs. Elg,
Considering Perkins vs. Elg, where only one parent needed to be a citizen for the defendant to be considered natural-born.
Also, consider that British common law specifically defined citizenship as something that passed through the father, with the highest level of citizenship being that of someone born to a father of England, while in England. The founders heavily borrowed from BCL.
Even Vattel's work, while using "parents", is a stretch to say it meant both parents. After all, littered throughout the law of nations as well as Vattel's other work is the notion that everything is passed through the father, including national loyalty. This is also consistent with how citizenship was decided during the founders' time; it was the father's blood that mattered, moreso even than locale.
Lastly, why didn't the founders simply say that? If they had wanted to say that the president could only be "a natural born citizen of two citizen parents," or "of at least one citizen parent," they could have and would have done so.

if the queen or say a princess gave birth in america the child would not be royalty? i would find that hard to believe.

According to BCL? If the father was not royalty, absolutely. Although in that case, the princess/queen would likely be executed for such an action. But if born to a royal father who recognized the child as his own, the child would be a royal no matter where he was born. Again, it is important to note that royalty laws and different from citizenship laws.
Vattel would probably say that royalty can pass through the father's blood alone, but natural-born citizenship requires being born on English soil.

tsk tsk tsk
Wrong. If you actually read and understood the Constitution, you wouldn't be making wild claims.
Article 1 § 2 Clause 3 Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
The 13th Amendment didn't wipe out the 'three fifths of all other Persons' bit. What it did was do away with slavery except for punishment of crime. With the end of slavery, those slaves were now free persons. Should some new 'other persons' ever become recognized, only 3 out of 5 of them will be counted.
Now my question to you is if that is really the 13th Amendment or should it be the 14th?
As for the 16th Amendment, please see
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.

I do not see how this disproves my points. Those amendments clearly overwrote certain parts of the original Constitution.
Plus, you have the fact that your original interpretation of natural-born could be wrong.
Secondly, the Supreme Court agrees with me. Fundamentally, that is what matters as to whether or not something is "constitutional" or not. Meaning, that Obama is eligible because the Supreme Court says he is eligible. Even if you disagree with the decision (Article 1, section 9, clause 3).

Couple of interesting links ...
... for people to read about the topic of citizenship in general and natural-born citizen in particular, written just after the adoption of the Constitution.
David Ramsey was alive during the American Revolution and was a historian of the time. In 1790, he wrote a dissertation on citizenship. Although he does not specifically address "natural born citizen," he explains citizenship as it was understood at the time of the founding. A couple of interesting tidbits: you have to read it as they understood, which is that there was no federal government citizenship, rather each person was a US citizen by way of being a citizen of a particular state; also, citizens in 1776 or so were required to pledge allegiance to their state, or they were asked to leave because they were suspected to be hostile to the revolution; also, the Constitution says representatives and senators must be CITIZENS for 7 and 9 years, but the president had to be a RESIDENT for 14 years. This is because they wanted the president to be someone who was around during the revolution, and the United States had only existed for less than 12 years at that time the Constitution would be ratified (1776 vs. 1787).
Vattel's treatise, which is referenced in this thread, also discusses citizenship. This was written both as an argument for what SHOULD BE, based on previous works of Locke and others, but also a discussion of what other countries ACTUALLY DO regarding citizenship or subjectship. Some people writing in this thread take his words out-of-context.
He explores the idea of citizenship from a number of angles, but only uses the term "natural-born citizen" one time, where he says:
"The citizens are the members of the civil society: bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens."
Every other reference is about "citizens" and not specifically "natural-born citizens." Also, there is a reference to "fathers" in the next sentence, but he later also discusses briefly the relevance of mothers.
Interesting to read the whole thing.
Every other reference is about "citizens" and not specifically "natural-born citizens."
Vattel clearly discusses natural-born citizens, and naturalized citizens. Do you think so little of Vattel's ability to construct a clear argument that you imagine he intended to create a third category category: citizens by nature at birth who are not natural born citizens?
Alternately you can see that Vattel clearly describes two categories, those who are citizens by nature at birth, and those who are citizens by an act of law (or the sovereign). He describes the simplest case of NBC, and from that draws the principle that he applies consistently not just there, to the case that the birthers like to take out of context, but throughout the passage, namely that presumption that the child's loyalty will follow the father's that shows us that the father's rights regarding citizenship naturally apply to the child as well. That's the principle that he applies in the simple case of NBC, note that the place of birth isn't part of that argument.
So when he gets to the more problematic cases, he applies the exact same argument that he applied to the simple case, arguing more than once that it's not the place of birth that matters, but the father's citizenship and loyalty. He's completely consistent about this throughout. And although he doesn't repeat "natural-born citizen" he clearly says that he's talking about citizenship that is acquired naturally at birth.
I suggest that he talks about natural-born citizens, and children who become citizens by nature at birth, applying the exact same argument throughout that discussion, because it's all the same category. Citizenship acquired naturally, at birth, as opposed to citizenship acquired by naturalization (which he *clearly* isn't talking about when he considers these cases of not being born on the home soil).
You can look at it and instead imagine that this man who writes careful, methodical and very clear arguments intended to describe the categories of natural born citizen and naturalized citizen, and a third category of children who are citizens naturally when born but not natural born citizens. But can you apply such a clownish interpretation and keep a straight face?
Seriously? ...
... are you incapable of having a serious discussion without resorting to personal attack ... or are you just a jacka**?
If you want a debate, that's fine. But don't be a dick while doing it.
Regarding Vattel, you are making the same type of claim that you say others make in error.
You claim that his word "parents" must be of the plural subject and cannot mean both mom and dad. You claim that it must mean all the people's parents, collectively.
But you claim the word "father" is of the individual subject (a particular person's father) rather than all people's fathers (like the "founding fathers").
It makes more sense to read it the opposite way you are.
There is only one instance where Vattel uses the term "natural-born citizen" and that is in context of both parents:
"The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens."
That is a clear and specific statement. No room for ambiguity.
In his next sentence where he mentions fathers, he is using the plural sense (like we do the "founding fathers") to talk about a class of people, not the specific daddys of the individuals:
"As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights."
Furthermore, he does discuss mother once. In that reference, he makes the assumption that both father and mother are of the same citizenship.
It is a shame he is not more clear here, but it is what it is.
Yes, he does talk about children inheriting "citizenship" of their father, but that does not change the fact that he also discusses "natural-born citizenship" as being born on US soil to citizen parents.
If father is not a citizen, then the person would not be a natural-born citizen (according to my argument) nor would he be a citizen at all (according to your argument). So, there is no conflict here.
Any other birth situation, where the father is a citizen, would make the person a citizen according to Vattel (and according to you).
However, Vattel DOES NOT SAY THAT SUCH A PERSON WOULD BE A "NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN," only that he would be a citizen.
So ...
Where is YOUR evidence to support YOUR claim?
Where is the court case?
Where is the reference work circa 1787?
Tell me where you disagree
You claim that his word "parents" must be of the plural subject and cannot mean both mom and dad. You claim that it must mean all the people's parents, collectivel
I missed your point about this intitially, because it really wasn't what I meant to focus on at all, but we can come back to that if necessary. But first here's where I think we really disagree:
Any other birth situation, where the father is a citizen, would make the person a citizen according to Vattel (and according to you). However, Vattel DOES NOT SAY THAT SUCH A PERSON WOULD BE A "NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN," only that he would be a citizen.
Tell me where you disagree. We're talking about the case where the father is a citizen (and loyal) but the child is born out of the country. Section 215.
You agree that the child is a citizen at birth in that case, right?
And do you agree that Vattel says that this citizenship isn't the naturalized kind? He says "By the law of nature alone ..." and "the place of birth produces no change in this particular, and cannot of itself furnish any reason for taking from a child what nature has given him ..." and the reference to 212 makes it clear that by "what nature has given him" Vattel means that the natural right of citizenship (in the father's country).
So if you agree with that, then on your reading this isn't the category of natural born citizen. And it isn't the category of naturalized citizen. it's a third category he doesn't give a name to, but we can describe it: this third category is that of a child who is naturally a citizen when born but not a natural born citizen.
I apologize for calling that view clownish. I do think that reading of Vattel, considering how carefully and consistently he constructs the argument and considering that the argument itself is *exactly* the same for both the natural-born citizen category and the naturally-a-citizen-when-born-but-not-natural-born-citizen category, is a bit strained. I think that when he says "natural-born citizen" he doesn't mean to introduce a name of a category, and then not mention it again, he means to say a citizen who is a citizen by nature when born. And he most definitely discusses other cases of citizens who are citizens by nature, when born, as in section 215.
Ok ...
... it's getting late and this will be my last post on this subject for now. If you reply, I'll read it later.
My position is not that Vattel (or Minor vs. Happersett) or anything else is the "be all, end all" in the debate of who is eligible to be president. My position is that Vattel and Minor both identify born on soil/2 citizen parents as natural-born citizens, and NO OTHER reference ANYWHERE that relies on original intent can be found that shows ANY OTHER SITUATION to be a "natural-born citizen." I suspect this is because the founders all understood what they meant in that era, but we have lost the meaning. I would like to know the meaning, and if I'm wrong, so be it. But I have never seen a denier provide any evidence.
So, I will ask you point blank: Do you have any evidence that shows -- with those words EXACTLY -- that anyone can be a "natural born citizen" by any OTHER way than being born on the country's soil with both parents as citizens?
The answer, I assume, is no. Therefore, there is no debate because the burden of proof is on he who asserts the positive. Any person running for president (or anyone supporting such a person) must make the claim that they are eligible, and that claim must be backed up with proof. Absent the necessary proof, they are NOT ELIGIBLE. PERIOD.
That is my position, and the sum total of my interest in this topic.
Now, to address the topic more, I will say that the whole concept of "natural born" citizen is kinda weird. Vattel talks about citizenship at nature. But there is no such thing. Cave men did not have citizenship (as far as we know). This is really just something invented by European kings and philosophers but it does not exist in a state of nature.
So, anything Vattel or anyone else says about how citizenship flows from parent to child is an artificial construct that is just made up and enforced by people who ultimately want to control others.
It is no different than the "social contract theory," which Vattel wholeheartedly supports. It's bullsh*t, to be blunt.
Having said that, however, we do live in a world where these make-believe concepts are treated as real, and there are real a**holes out there with real guns and real black robes who have been brainwashed to believe it is all real. So, let's at least get a grip on what the hell it means, and we can ONLY do that by figuring out what the people who WROTE it meant.
In order to do that, we must turn to references at the time or court cases that have made declarations that those brainwashed people with real guns and real black robes will want to defend.
People who make excuses for Obama are not interested in truth. If they were, they would not make up bullsh*t arguments and read into things that are not there.
Yes, Vattel is clear as mud in some ways, but everything he writes is within the context of him believing that citizenship is a real thing. And within that context, he states what he understood was DEFINITELY a "natural-born citizen." The Minor court does the same.
Since there is NO evidence ANYWHERE of ANY KIND that clearly states the founders meant anything else when they voted during the constitutional convention on using the term "natural-born citizen," we can conclude this is what they meant. They had a law library handy. They had dozens of men who collectively probably read every book even remotely addressing these topics. THEY knew what they meant. We don't.
If it went to the Supreme Court today, I have no doubt they would justify a different reading because most of them are corrupted by power.
I also have no doubt that if Rubio or any of the others run for president that MOST Republicans will look the other way. I am encouraged that many here are not willing to give an R a pass when they think the R is doing the same dirty deed as the D is. Most Americans do not have that integrity, however. So, nothing will surprise me.
Is Vattel saying that his historical research and his logical conclusion is that the child inherits the citizenship of the father? Yes, unless the country passes a different law.
Does that mean that a person who is a "citizen" is also a "natural-born citizen?" No.
You can read into it anything you want, but your reading is a fantasy if you claim he is saying anything else.
If people want to claim that we should be good little citizens and follow the laws, then let's start by following the supreme law of the land. Let's not make up bullsh*t stories about what the writers meant. Let's understand what they meant. Otherwise, we are not following the law. And if we won't force each other to follow the #1 law, then nobody can legitimately claim that anybody should follow any law. Period.
And besides that ... where is the evidence that anything OTHER than born on the soil to 2 citizen parents equals a "natural born citizen?"
If you are in that camp (or anyone else reading this is), then the burden of proof is on you. I have demonstrated one way to be a natural born citizen. Anyone else have any other EVIDENCE?
Out for tonight.
Natural born citizenship explained
Tommy - Your explanation of "natural born citizenship" is excellent.
PEOPLE OPPOSING TYRANNY - Real Grass Roots!
Are you a POT or a PET - Person Embracing Tyranny?
Your point hinges on "those words EXACTLY." Because (tell me if you're disagreeing but I don't see where you are) in 215 Vattel doesn't say "natural born citizen" but he talks about a child who becomes a citizen, naturally, when born. In in both cases he makes the exact same argument, namely that it's the father's citizenship and loyalty that matter.
So, when you insist on "those words EXACTLY" you're taking the position that in 215 he's talking about a child who becomes a citizen naturally when born but not a natural born citizen. I think that's a very strained reading. He uses the same justification in both places, which has nothing to do with the birthplace, and in one he says "natural-born" while in the other it's natural, and clearly when born, so to me it sounds to me like he's talking about the same category. And if does mean the same category for natural-born citizen in 212 and citizen naturally, when born, in 215, then there's your example right there in 215.
To *not* read this as the example you say you're looking for, on the other hand, you have to take 212 as being about natural born citizens, and 215 as being about children who become citizens naturally when born but are not naturally born citizens, and see this as a distinct third category that Vattel expects the reader to understand. If that seems like a reasonable way to interpret a writer as careful and methodical as Vattel, then we'll just have to disagree.
I'd be curious to know (if you care to get back to this) if you see any historic usage of "natural born citizen," or implicit understanding of it seen in the candidates that were viewed as eligible, that is *not* consistent with the view that Vattel means the same category in 212, described as natural-born, and in 215 (and later), described as natural, when born.
For example, there's the case of the first Republican candidate whose father was a French citizen. That's not the same as the born abroad case but it doesn't fit the birther definition of NBC, and yet there's no indication that Lincoln (who campaigned for him) or anyone else objected to the guy's eligibility. Which, again, makes sense if what they had in mind was my reading of Vattel. But if what they had in mind was the definition you want to apply, then how do you explain it? Wouldn't you have to conclude that he was ineligible and that Lincoln must have understood the Constitution well enough to know that? On the other hand if my interpretation is correct, then there's no conflict, because his US citizenship was acquired naturally, at birth, in the sense of section 215.
Or look at the naturalization act of 1790, just as an example of how the phrase was used at the time. On your reading, if they had the strict definition you suggest in mind, is what they wrote even coherent? On the other hand if they had the definition I suggest in mind, where Vattel intends natural-born in 212 to be the same category as natural, when born, in 215 and 216, then what they're writing is very naturally consistent with that reading of 215 and 216. In fact the last half of that act follows the outline of Vattel from 214 to 216, covering the case of naturalized citizens first (214) then distinguishing that from the cases of children born to citizens while at sea or abroad (216 and 215 respectively).
But again, if they had your strict definition in mind, can you find any coherence in what they wrote? They would, on your view, have understood 215 and 216 as being about a different category entirely, that of citizens naturally when born but not natural-born citizens. And if they had understood it that way, nothing would have stopped them from writing it that way. Since they didn't, doesn't that suggest that maybe they didn't have your definition in mind after all?
So these are two cases where the explicit usage of the phrase in the latter, and the implicity understanding of it in the former, seem to fit well the understanding of Vattel that I'm suggesting (natural-born in 212 and natural [when born] in 215 are both about the same category), but I don't see how you reconcile it if you think that they would have instead had your definition in mind.
Why is it ...
... that you expect me to answer your questions but you refuse to answer mine? Just a disrespectful person? Don't want to "go there" because you (and I) know what your answer must be?
My question: Do you have ANY evidence that the SPECIFIC TERM "natural-born citizen" is ANYTHING OTHER THAN born on the soil to two citizen parents?
And here's another question for you: the year is 1787; the Constitution reads that Representatives must be a CITIZEN for 7 years and an INHABITANT of their state, Senators must be a CITIZEN for 9 years and an INHABITANT of their state, but the President must be (a) a RESIDENT for 14 years and (b) a NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN ... so .... why did they use those different terms for those different offices? Just some of the most brilliant men in human history had a collective brain fart? Why did they use different terminology for the President? And what do those different terms mean?
Now, even though you have showed me disrespect by repeatedly refusing to answer my question, I will answer yours, anyway.
Yes, my position hinges on "those words EXACTLY" because "those words EXACTLY" are what appear in the Constitution, and not other words.
Your reference to section 215 of Vattel is not on point. Section 212 is the only place he uses the term we are discussing.
Your use of the word "naturally" in 215 is akin to "of course" ... as in, "the child, of course, becomes a citizen." But, as you know (but do not want to admit), "citizen" <> "natural-born citizen."
If an American citizen man in 1787 were to marry a British subject woman, their child would be American by your reading. But it does not follow that said child would be deemed a "natural-born citizen," since that particular term is only used within the context of BOTH parents being citizens.
Such a child could grow up to be Senator, but not President, because "citizen at birth" is not the same concept as "citizen at birth AND having no other allegiance."
I'm not familiar with the example about the candidate with the French father, but if you expect anyone to place credibility in that argument by appealing to the authority of Abraham Lincoln, you are sorely mistaken. Lincoln was a wanna-be dictator. Nothing more. He had zero interest in following any law he did not like.
Yes, the Naturalization Act of 1790 is interesting, but that was repealed and replaced just 5 years later and the language was changed. So, it is a mystery that I have not investigated.
So, I have given you the respect of answering your questions, even though you might disagree with my answers. However, I have asked you a question numerous times, and you have ignored numerous times, but I will try one last time.
My question: Do you have ANY evidence that the SPECIFIC TERM "natural-born citizen" is ANYTHING OTHER THAN born on the soil to two citizen parents?
And by the way, I'd like to know your response to the question above about why the founders used citizen and natural-born citizen for different offices.
Remember: silence is acquiescence. If you fail to answer, I can assume your answer. ;-)

Hurray for touchy feely happy endings!
Hurray for touchy feely happy endings!
I really think Derp's a good kid. He's just following some questionable prophets. On some level I think he really knows that paleo is the better WOE. That's why he keeps hanging around here.
I love my new neighborhood. Within easy walking distance there eight places that serve grass fed meat and several more that serve wonderful seafood. There is a cheese shop that has a great selection of raw milk cheeses and a brazilian churascurio. This is a carnivore's paradise.
I was looking for grass fed online and stumbled across this little pub that has wild boar meatloaf and kangaroo tartare. Then I looked at the address and it is one block away from the front of my complex!
It would be easy to never cook again around here if I wanted to get lazy.
I agree with not worrying too much. That would be a waste of time. But trashing your lungs now is going to make later years a bitch to live through. Play with your mind expanding substances if you want but at least consider cutting out the cigs. Besides, they are the opposite of sexy.

What energy sources are used to generate electricity?
A turbine can be turned by many different sources of energy. These vary widely and include fossil fuels, water and wind.
A most common way to generate electricity throughout the world is with high temperature and pressure steam from boiling water. Many different fuels can be burned to heat the water including wood, coal, oil and natural gas. In a nuclear generating plant, a process called nuclear fission creates the heat by splitting uranium atoms.
With our abundant water, coal and natural gas resources, it is not surprising that the most common forms of electricity generation in Canada are hydroelectric followed by thermal coal and gas-fired generation.
In recent years, generation from these traditional fuels has been supplemented with a growing list of emerging technologies that use the sun, wind and even biomass to produce electricity.
Primary among these technologies are wind turbines and photovoltaic or solar cells. Fuel cells are also emerging as possible energy sources for homes, businesses and automobiles.
So far, these new technologies are both costly and limited in their capacities.
Most of the electricity produced in Canada comes from three main fuel sources: water, nuclear fission and fossil fuels, primarily coal. As this chart shows, in 2004, 96 per cent of our electricity came from these three sources.
Although turbines and generators are the basic machinery used to produce electricity, the technology differs somewhat based on the energy source. There are two main categories of generation:
- hydroelectric generation, which uses falling water to turn the turbines
- steam generation, which uses fossil fuels or nuclear fission to heat water to make the steam that turns the turbines

Property Name:
Stone Hall
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
Cuba Road, Cockeysville, Baltimore County
Stone Hall, a 248-acre estate, was originally part of a 4200 acre tract called Nicholson's Manor. Stone Hall is located on Cuba Road, one half mile north of Shawan Road in Baltimore County. The house was built in four sections; the initial stage consisted of a 1 ½-story, 1 bay wide fieldstone structure built before 1783. A north and south wing were added between 1783 and 1798. The main block at the north end is a 2 ½-story gable roofed fieldstone structure. It is four bays wide and one room deep. The windows are of 9/9 sash and have wood lintels. The third bay from the north end is the main entrance, covered by a classically inspired portico. The second story bay above which lights the flanking stairway landing is positioned slightly lower than the other three windows and there are three irregularly spaced and foliated windows. There is a single chimney enclosed within each end wall. The east façade of the building is the same as the western elevation, except for the entrance door which is headed by an elliptical fanlight. It is believed that this was the original entrance because of its design and because the interior staircase faces it. A modillioned cornice continues around the four sides. The centrally positioned portico with its closed denticulated pediment over the main entrance of the west principal façade is supported by four square wooden columns with two matching pilasters framing the stucco area, framing the door. A 1 ½-story fieldstone addition at the south end was initially used as the kitchen, but now serves as a hyphen connecting the main block. In the 1930 addition, the roof ridge runs opposite that of the main block. An enclosed chimney is at the east end. Three domestic dependencies stand in close proximity to the main house. Included in this voucher is a barn, carriage house, and a blacksmith shop.
The local historical significance of Stone Hall can be seen through its owners. The initial tract was patented by William Nicholson of Kent County, Maryland, in 1719. In 1754, the land was sold at public auction in equal 1050 acre plots to Roger Boyce, Corbin Lee, Brian Philpot, and Thinsey Johns. The Philpots sold a 360-acre parcel of land, upon which Stone Hall now stands, in 1775 to Thomas Gist, Jr. Gist was a colonel in the Baltimore Militia during the Revolutionary War. His brother, Mordecai, one of the organizers of the Baltimore Independent Cadets (Fifth, Maryland), was able to aid George Washington during the Revolutionary War. In the later part of the 19th century, the land was bought by William C. Gent. The land passed through several owners until Garnet and Salina Hulings bought the property in 1930. Stone Hall is an example of the Federal style. It is one of the few remaining manor houses of its type in the Worthington Valley of Maryland.

If you suffered an injury in a bus accident, the New York City bus accident lawyers from Law Office of Richard M. Kenny can help you obtain the financial compensation that you need.The term "bus accident" can involve bus passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, school busses, and motorcoaches (large busses). Because of their passenger capacity, bus accidents usually involve a larger number of injuries than traditional car accidents, making them a likely reason for personal injury claims and lawsuits.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board:
Without standards for roof strength, window glazing, and a protected seating area, motorcoach accidents can be catastrophic. . . . Even when the motorcoach remains relatively intact during an accident, passengers lacking a protective seating environment can be thrown from their seating area and killed or injured.
School bus accidents are another source of injury and often involve young children. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 19 children die in school bus accidents every year.
Like any personal injury claim, you must be able to demonstrate that your injury was caused by another person's negligence. Four common types of bus accident negligence include:
Other factors, such as the weight capacity of the bus, can be used to create a strong case for your lawsuit or claim as well. Only a skilled New York City bus accident attorney can help investigate evidence surrounding your case to determine what type of negligence is responsible for your accident.
If you need a bus accident attorney in New York City, contact Law Office of Richard M. Kenny today. When you work with our team, you can rest assured knowing that your case is in good hands. Call our office today to learn more about your options with our team and to request a free consultation with one of our
New York City personal injury lawyers.

Colonial Williamsburg
In 1951, Virginia Metalcrafters began its licensing program with Colonial Williamsburg, the pioneering restoration that would inspire many others to follow. The first restored buildings were opened to the public in 1932, and since then the restoration has grown to encompass the entire 18th-century town with over 500 buildings. In 1936, Colonial Williamsburg began an innovative program to bring high quality reproductions of antiques in its collections to the public.

It might be difficult to compete with the remains of Anna Nicole Smith, but the Security and Prosperity Partnership Ministerial Meeting in Canada on Friday is a subject worthy of some attention from our major media. It springs from a process, set in motion by President Bush about two years ago, involving what many conservatives see as surrender of U.S. sovereignty to a trilateral entity that could assume the form of a North American Union, much like the European Union that now dictates to the citizens of 27 European states.
The Security and Prosperity Partnership was launched in 2005 to ensure continued economic prosperity in Canada, the United States and Mexico, and to increase the security of citizens in all three countries, says a release from the Canadian government. It sounds innocent enough. Those in attendance are supposed to include, from the government of Canada: Peter MacKay, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, Stockwell Day, Minister of Public Safety, and Maxime Bernier, Minister of Industry. Their Mexican and U.S. counterparts are Secretary of Foreign Affairs Patricia Espinosa, Secretary of the Interior Francisco Javier Ramírez Acuña, Secretary of Economy Eduardo Sojo Garza-Aldape, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, and Secretary of Commerce Carlos M. Gutierrez.
The Canadian government says that a media availability will be held so that photographs can be taken and a few questions asked of the various officials. My question would be: what is the legal basis for the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP)? My research can find no legal basis for this complicated process, now about two years old, involving the futures of our three countries.
My interest stems from covering an all-day February 16 conference sponsored by the Center for North American Studies devoted to developing a North American legal system. It occurred to me at this conference, after examining the literature provided to me and hearing the various experts on the panels, that a process has been well underway to merge not only the legal but economic, political, and social systems of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. I wondered how this was all set in motion and what justification there was legally, legislatively or constitutionally, for it to proceed.
On one level, as I discovered at the conference, much of it stems from NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, which was pushed through Congress by President Clinton, getting majorities in both Houses, and bypassing the treaty process that requires a two-thirds vote in favor in the Senate. Clinton knew that he couldnt get the votes that a treaty required.
President Bush, a supporter of NAFTA, entered the picture on March 23, 2005, when he issued a statement with then-Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and announced the establishment of the SPP. I had reported that the statement was signed by President Bush, but was corrected by a reader who said that, according to the SPP website, it was not. The SPP says, The SPP is a dialogue to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries. The SPP is not an agreement nor is it a treaty. In fact, no agreement was ever signed.
Yet I found a statement issued by then-Prime Minister Martin, in which he declared that President Bush, President Fox and I signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership A transcript of a press availability from June 27, 2005, shows Carlos Abascal, the Mexican Secretary of the Interior, saying that, Our three leaders, President Fox, President Bush and prime Minister Paul Martin have signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.
Why would officials of Canada and Mexico say the document was signed when it was not? Are they simply in error?
I found the text on the website of U.S. presidential documents but it did not indicate a signature had been attached to it. It is not listed under the category of executive orders. Im no lawyer, but if the document was not signed, what legal basis, justification or force can it have?
A Canadian report describes the SPP as an international framework for trilateral and bilateral cooperation in North America that is not a formal international treaty or an overarching binding legal agreement. But what is an international framework that commits U.S. officials from various federal agencies to working with officials of two other countries? Why is such a process not subjected to congressional scrutiny and approval?
It sounds suspiciously like the non-binding resolution that the House passed opposing President Bushs policy in Iraq, except for the fact that, on the basis of this allegedly unsigned SPP document, federal officials have entered into other agreements with the governments of Mexico and Canada which have been signed. In other words, this is a non-binding agreement or announcement that has binding consequences on the American people. The SPP refers, for example, to a signed agreement with Mexico on consumer goods and a signed agreement with Canada on pipeline regulations. They are described by the SPP as accomplishments. Who signed these documents? It doesnt say. Why should they be signed when the original agreement creating the SPP is not? It doesnt explain.
White House spokesman Tony Snow has cavalierly dismissed concerns about this process, saying the charge that the U.S. is being submerged in a North American Union and developing a common currency with Canada and Mexico is an urban legend. He must be unaware of the deep involvement in this process of Robert Pastor, a former Clinton adviser and Carter official who was behind the North American legal system conference. Pastor, an adviser to every Democratic candidate for president since 1976, is the brain behind the North American Community, as he calls it. His support for the Panama Canal Treaty and radical forces in Latin America prompted Senator Jesse Helms, then-chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to threaten to prevent a vote on Pastors nomination by President Clinton as Ambassador to Panama. Pastor withdrew his nomination. One of Pastors ideas, a North American Investment Fund to provide $200 billion to Mexico, was introduced as a bill by conservative Republican Senator John Cornyn.
Snows flip comment will not satisfy the growing number of conservatives who find this SPP process to be of dubious constitutionality. Free trade is one thing, but the idea of exploiting NAFTA as part of an effort to develop North American Institutions, including a North American Supreme Court with the power to overrule the U.S. Supreme Court, is something else entirely. Yet these are some of the ideas being seriously discussed by those, like Pastor, who believe in continental thinking.
The Democrats who have taken control of Congress promised increased oversight of the executive branch. The SPP deserves some of their immediate attention. But Robert Pastor shouldnt be left off the witness list.

Tourist kicks up stink about smell of dead fish... in fishing harbour
Posted: September 02, 2011|
A tourist complained in disgust after he was offended by the sight and smells of a haul of dead fish... on a trawler moored in a fishing harbour.
Fishermen were astounded after David Copp complained to the Ilfracombe Harbourmaster in anger that his children had to see 12 crates of dead fish and crabs while they were there on holiday.
The Copp family were enjoying a sunny day on Ilfracombe Harbour when the fishy smell emanated from The Lady of Lundy.
Mr Copp, 46, said: "There were flies flying around and the smell was awful.
"The ship was just sat there not doing anything, and there were 12 crates of dead crabs and fish just lying there covered in flies.
"It's not the sort of thing you want to see on holiday; there was a real stench.
"My children were quite distressed by it. These people should be a bit more considerate to the holidaymakers."
Ilfracombe Harbourmaster Rob Lawson said: "We have the unusual set up of a working harbour which has public access.
"This is generally considered an asset because visitors can get a really good feel for how the industry works, they can enjoy the whole experience.
"My response to him was 'I'm sorry but you shouldn't be taking your children to a harbour if that is how they react to dead fish'."
Mr Lawson said the family's visit was bad timing as the crates were being moved at the time they passed, meaning the fishy smell was stirred up.
He added: "It was unfortunate but the fishermen do a good job at keeping smells at bay."
Tony Rutherford, the managing director of Bideford Fisheries said: "Seeing us in action is often considered a tourist attraction in these parts." He added: "Fish are landed dead."
LATEST: Visitor in stinking fish row says Ilfracombe is 'a dump'

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginTha-Korr was the son King Immanu of Atlantis. When the city was attacked by Skarka barbarians, his father the king was killed and the city decimated. Rather than rebuild, Prince Tha-Korr decided to abandon the city his forefathers had built upon the ruins of the pre-Cataclysmic Atlantis, and lead his people south, to build Antarctic Atlantis beneath the polar ice cap. From there, he forged a new empire.CreationEmperor Tha-Korr was created by Bill Everett in 1939 and appeared in Namor the Sub-Mariner's first published story in Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1.Character EvolutionGolden AgeEmperor Tha-Korr isn't portrayed consistently in this era, either physically or in his treatment of Namor. Sometimes, he is drawn more fish like, with his mustache resembling catfish whiskers and large, black eyes and other times, he looks like an airbreather, except for his skin color.Silver AgeEmperor Tha-Korr only appeared in flashback scenes or retellings of Namor's origins. He is drawn as a normal looking older man with blue skin.Modern AgeIn Namor the First Mutant it is revealed that Tha-Korr didn't perish when Paul Destine destroyed Antarctic Atlantis, but had been attacked and transformed by the Aqueos the night before, and at some point becoming the Highlord of the Aqueos. Physically, he looks completely different from Emperor Tha-Korr.Major Story ArcsIn 1920, the Altantean city beneath the Antarctic polar cap was damaged by ice breaking charges set off by the crew of the Oracle. Tha-Korr ordered his daughter, Princess Fen, to pick a reconnaissance team to discover the cause of the destruction, but instead, she went herself and met Leonard McKenzie.When Tha-Korr discovered what Fen had done, he was furious, but finally agreed she was now the best person for the job, and sent her back to the Oracle. When Fen didn't report back, Tha-Korr sent a group of warriors led by a young Krang to rescue her. Leonard McKenzie was thought to be killed in the raid, and Fen returned to Atlantis and months later, bore his son, and Tha-Korr's grandson, Namor.When Atlantis was destroyed in 1950s by Paul Destine, Tha-Korr was believed to have perished. Later it was discovered he had actually 'died' the night before in an attack by the Aqueos. He eventually became their Highlord.In Royal Blood, the Highlord entered into an agreement with Xarus, to hide the head of Dracula in the depths of the ocean. When Namor recovered the head for the X-Men, he broke the Shallow Peace with the Aqueos, and the Highlord led his vampires against New Atlantis. Namor and the Royal Logomancer found a spell to destroy the Aqueos, but they had to do so in the vampire's own hidden city and it required the blood sacrifice of an Atlantean king. When the Highlord revealed his identity to Namor in the hidden city, Namor fought his once grandfather to the death, and used the Highlord's own blood to complete the spell that all but eradicated the Aqueos. Powers and AbilitiesTha-Korr possesses typical Atlantean physiology powers and abilities, including superhuman strength, stamina, speed and durability and a body adapted to living under water even the harsh pressures of deep undersea atmospheres. His body has also adapted to function in the more extreme temperatures of the deep. Tha-Korr's strength capacity allows him to lift upwards of 3 tons. Physical Characteristics Height: 6' 5"Weight: 200 lbs Hair: WhiteEyes: Blue
