Horsecrap. He should run. I expect he will run.
But you do expose your reason for wanting to flog this issue.
"Its too bad the framers did not take an extra paragraph in the Constitution to explain Natural born citizen."
They couldn't foresee that there would be people retarded enough not to know what the word "natural" meant and would try to distort it to mean things never intended. Cruz is a natural born citizen by all definitions of law.
If a person is a citizen by birth they are a natural born citizen. Instead of that definition, we get all kinds of creepy conspiracy theorists types thinking they are great legal minds and want to claim all kinds of crap the founding fathers did not intend. Hells Bells, if they meant a person would only be considered natural born if any only if two parents were married, present in the US all their lives, with multiple generations of previous citizenships, and the birth was in a US hospital, and, and, and, they would have said so.
Our LAWS say a person has citizenship at birth under certain conditions and Cruz meets those conditions. Any idiot that cannot understand that is an idiot that wants to re-write law. Hopefully they never serve on a jury as they are too stupid to understand plain English.
These same idiots that claim anyone born in another country must be a citizen of that country and only of that country are therefore supporting anchor babies born here in the US and that isn't even law. The child must meet certain criteria and is not a natural born citizen because the child is not granted US citizenship automatically because they are born here.
These idiots claim if a pregnant woman is visiting another country, even for a day, and goes into labor the child loses their US citizenship. Who are they to say pregnant women must stay in country? Who are they say a child loses it citizenship because mom stepped into another country? A baby that has had 8 months and 30 days of pregnancy in the US has its citizenship destroyed by being a single day in another country when mom gives birth? Mom visits Niagara Falls, goes into labor, nearest hospital is in Canada, oops, baby is without a country because these pinheads think the baby is not a US citizen and Canada does not recognize her as legal to give birth to a Canadian. How retarded is that?
A US citizen working in another country is still a US citizen, and that other country may consider any child she has a US citizen and not recognize the birth or give the child citizenship. What then? A baby without a country, because these pinheads claim the child is not a US citizen either, so the child is without a country. Stupid. Absolutely stupid.
Not a single one of these idiots knows how to read the law. It is written in English and they dont have the basic civics skills to find it and read it: Title 8 Section 1401. Yet, they couldnt find it any more than they can find their ass with both hands. That section defines who is and who is not a US citizen at birth, a natural born citizen, yet, they argue as though they know everything. Dunces. Put a pointy hat on them and stand them in the corner.
"The fact that there is murkiness and that Cruz for any reason can be tainted by it - that there can even be a conversation about it - is in of itself enough reason for him not to run."
You liberals ran Obama with massive taint on his record. So, we'll run our guy and FU if you don't like it.
"its about the law."
Of which you have never read, so don't give us that crap.
Absolutely. We have a number of liberal trolls here.
I listened to Rush years back and got a lesson about these types. Rush had the goods on them when they would call, claim to be conservative, hold their noses and say something conservative, but then try to sow seeds of FUD, fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Rush calls them "Seminar Callers" as they attend seminars to learn how to call into the Rush show and sow FUD.
We have dozens of them on FR right now.
Nah,you're stuck on your interpretation of the 'law'.
Be not afraid of the Left. They'd be the laughingstock of the nation if they would ever think of going "Birther" on Ted Cruz.
Barry was born in Kenya and I am going to stick with that.
They won't need to. There are enough on the right who are doing that for them.
I refuse to let you stuff something in my mouth that I didn't say. It's pretty dishonest of you to imply that I'm defending attacks on Ted Cruz, when I've said the exact opposite on this thread.
For the record, I'm a Texan who voted for Ted Cruz in the general and the run-off election last year. I couldn't be happier with his service to the people so far.
My position is that freedom includes the right to discuss any subject, no matter how unpalatable. What position one takes on a subject is a different matter, and yes, some opinions are unwanted (and even verboten) on this site.
I've been here a long time, and those who know me, know that I'm fully in accord with FR's mission. I don't agree with the left, and take every opportunity to express that here, and elsewhere.
See my post 75 for further explanation of where I'm coming from.
No they won't, the left is never disparaged by the left....aka MSM.......they have signaled their intent to use this issue, they want to try to seed doubt among the conservative base, making inroads through the birthers. they want to dispirit us any way they can, this is one of the ways.
I like wf's take at post 75, it's the road most of the sane conservative birthers take.
Did Mark Levin go into why Cruz is a natural born citizen and why Obama is not ?
Cruz...yes..Arnold no
Yep Arnold had zero parents that were American citizens!! Besides that he isn't very smart and a Liberal RINO to boot!!!
I like Windflier's post as well. What burns my chaps is the FR posters who would then accuse wf of 'betrayal', 'treason' and being an 'apostate' of the Constitution for not agreeing with their interpretation of it.
C Edmund said it best when he said the intransigent ones who didn't understand that the framers were most concerned about someone holding the office that was under foreign influence (ideas, and worse), that those that did not understand that fact were niggling (racist?) pharisees. In my mind, and on that basis, the entire democrat party and some of our RINOs are unfit for the office
You people should be asking yourself. Why is it that all the choices you get for president are people who were not born in the US to Two US parents. What are the chances of that? You are all being pawned and you don't even realize it.
I have followed the nbc issue since I came here. What seems obvious by the ussc refusing to rule on ob they have left a situation in which the law may not have been followed
I would vote for Cruz, dement and maybe 1 or two others, but I sure like to get a court ruling sooner than later
"This question has been settled on FR. Several freepers have been zotted over the subject. Cruz is eligible."
You sound so German.
You can read earlier in the thread where Jim stated his position. It is settled on FR. Freepers have been zotted over pushing the issue. Those are facts.
Having one American parent would be enough if the parent lived here a certain number of years and the baby was born overseas. The problem in Obama's case if he was born overseas would be that his mother only lived here 4 years after age 14 when it needed to be 5. She was only 18 at his birth. This requirement was lowered to 2 years at some point after his birth.
But even if Obama was determined ineligible, since we can't retroactively undo his presidency, the Supreme Court should give us one exception to the rule of our own to balance things out in the interest of equal protection. But let's not push the case since that would open the door for RINO Arnie...
I wonder what that Second Swear-in-Ceremony was really about?
yes and the heavy DUTY!
It will be amusing to see if Cruz runs, the leftists suddenly become birthers (again....remember they are the ones who brought up the whole issue with McCain).
Ohh, what a complex web we weave....
I thought it was about Roberts not thinking to write down the presidential oath before he got on camera and forgot it?
With this bunch, you never know.
I'm not a liberal, quite the opposite, and your low grade attempt at character assasination is exactly what a Dem would do. You should be ashamed.
You have no way of knowing what I have or have not read - so why do you post such wannabe belligerent nonsense.
I have, at length. Try reading.
newsflash: they already are.
We may all know what it means but we all may have different definitions of what it means. Even Freepers can't agree on what it means. I personally think no one except a fringe even care what it means and the fringe disagree amongst themselves on the rules / definitions.
Thus I hope Cruz runs and will gladly support him.
"wannabe belligerent nonsense."
That's been your whole posting history so we know you have not read the law. It's been just a bunch of ignorant nonsense from you.
You are the one that summed up people saying Cruz is not fit to run as "communication". That's BS propaganda to attempt to categorize such attempts at FUD against Cruz as "communication". Hell, everything is communications.
"You should be ashamed."
I am never ashamed to support our Constitution, our laws, and Cruz. You, however, haven't supported any of it. You come here simply to bash Cruz. You liberals run scared of the man. "Seminar Callers", nothing more.
Ted Cruz was an American citizen *at birth*. THere is no problem. Bob
Vattel doesn't write our laws. Never did. We rejected the Law of Nations and adopted our own. Vattel can kiss my ass as can anyone attempting to utilize a foreign document to control these united States.
Thank you, I feel the same way - that we should be able to discuss and dissent. I like Cruz, but the hysterical defensiveness about him on FR is troubling to me. It's how the Dems function.
My position is that our presidential candidate needs to be strong politically and have absolutely no murkyness in his background - it shouldn't be possible to even have a conversation about his origins, etc because there should be nothing that could provoke a question.
Actually, I'd be fine with an amendment that changed eligibility to anyone who has been a citizen (and not a dual-citizen of any other country) for at least 35 years. Essentially, it makes the minimum age for President 35 + your age at citizenship, which would be 0 for Cruz, but a fair bit more for someone like Schwarzenegger.
Post WWII babies sired in Europe from visiting US soldiers; birth creates US citizens in Germany, Japan, etc.
Hookers and girlfriends have babies from US men in their third world country are magic US citizen babies. Wonderful.
Passing on citizenship via birth and location is old fashioned. Viva anchor babies!
You know what this thread needs?
A heaping dose of Parsifal.
And more cowbell.
Pan_Yan, who misses some of the long gone FReepers.
"Is that why George W (Washington, that is) kept a copy of Vattel on his desk while he was president?"
Use whatever personal reference you want but that doesn't make it something the rest of us must use. I have a copy of Bloom County on my desk, suppose we use that?
I suppose if a judge in court said, "Well, let's look at the Law of Nations to figure this trial out", you would agree?
I pray that we can primary out McShame. And here is my prediction, if we successfully primary out McShame, he will pull a Charlie Crist and jump on the Dem bandwagon.
"Hookers and girlfriends have babies from US men in their third world country are magic US citizen babies."
I think you're reading a bit too much urban legend. A hooker in Vietnam having a baby from a US soldier did not give birth to a US citizen. many were granted a visa, but not citizenship.

Editorial Reviews
Freelance "cleaner" Jonathan Quinn is hired to make a body disappear. When he discovers that the victim is a friend, Quinn violates the first rule of his profession and becomes personally involved. Quinn, female ally Orlando, and apprentice Nate travel to Singapore to prevent an assassination and rescue an innocent woman. Lots of tradecraft and a growing relationship between Quinn and Orlando make this a successful sequel to The Cleaner. Highly recommended.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
The stench of rotting food and diesel fuel hung over the dock like it had been there forever. Even inside the small warehouse, the foulness overpowered everything. That was until the man in the light gray coveralls opened the door of the shipping container. Suddenly death was all Jonathan Quinn could smell.
Unflinching, he scanned the interior of the container. With the exception of a bloated body crumpled against the wall to the right, it was empty.
"Shut the door," Quinn said.
"But Mr. Albina wanted you to see what was—"
"I've seen it. Shut the door."
The man—he'd said his name was Stafford—swung the door shut, locking the handle into place.
"Why is this still here?" Quinn asked.
Stafford took a few steps toward Quinn, then stopped. "Look, I got a dock to run, okay? I got a ship out there that's only half unloaded." He sucked in a tense, nervous breath. "I got customs people all over the place, you know? It's like they knew something like this was coming in today."
Quinn raised an eyebrow. "Did you know it was coming in today?"
"Hell, no," Stafford said, voice rising. "Do you think I'd be here if I did? I'd've called in sick. Mr. Albina's got people who should take care of this kind of crap."
Quinn glanced at the man, then turned his attention back to the container. He began walking around it, scanning it up and down, taking it all in. After a slight hesitation, Stafford followed a few paces behind.
Quinn had seen thousands of shipping containers over the years: on boats, on trains, being pulled behind big rigs. They were large, bulky rectangular boxes that moved goods between countries and continents. They came in black and red and green and gray.
This one, with the exception of where the paint had chipped away and rust had started to take hold, was a faded dark blue. On each of the long sides, tall white letters spelled out baron & baron ltd. Quinn didn't recognize the name, but that wasn't surprising. At times it seemed as if there were nearly as many shipping companies scattered around the globe as there were containers.
When Quinn reached the point where he had begun his inspection, he stopped, his eyes still on the box.
"You're going to get rid of this, right?" Stafford asked. "I mean . . . that's what Mr. Albina told me. He said he was sending someone to get rid of it. That's you, right?"
"Manifest?" Quinn asked.
The man took a second to react, then nodded and picked up the clipboard he'd put on the ground when he'd opened the container's doors.
"What's supposed to be inside?" Quinn asked. With the trade imbalance the way it was, nothing came into the States empty anymore. Any container that did would be suspicious.
Stafford flipped through several pages, then stopped. "Tennis shoes," he said, looking up.
Quinn glanced over at the man. "One pair?"
"That's really funny," the man said, not laughing.
"Who found it?" Quinn asked.
Stafford seemed unsure what to say. When he did speak, his words didn't match the evasiveness in his eyes. "One of the dockhands. Said he smelled something when the crane set it down on the pier."
"From that ship out there?" Quinn asked, motioning toward the door that led outside. "The Riegle 3?"
Stafford nodded his head. "Yeah. It was one of the first ones off-loaded."
"So this dockhand, he just brought the container in here and called you?"
"You didn't call the police?"
"I run everything by Mr. Albina. He said to wait for you." When Quinn didn't reply right away, Stafford added, "That's the way it happened, okay?"
Quinn continued to stare at the man for a moment, then he turned and started walking toward the exit.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Stafford asked.
"Home," Quinn said without stopping.
"Wait. What am I supposed to do?"
Quinn paused a few feet from the door and looked back. Stafford was still standing near the container.
"Where did the crate come from? Who found it? And why did they let you know?" Quinn asked.
"I already told you that." This time there was even less conviction in Stafford's words.
Quinn smiled, then shook his head. There was no reason to blame the man. It was obvious he was only saying what he'd been told to say. Still, Quinn didn't like being jerked around.
"Good luck with your problem."
He pushed open the door and left.
"That was quick," Nate said.
Quinn climbed into the passenger seat of his BMW M3. Nate, his apprentice, was sitting behind the wheel, a copy of The Basics of Instrumental Flight in his lap. Just a week earlier, Nate had begun small-aircraft flying lessons. It was just one of many outside training courses he'd be taking during his apprenticeship.
While his boss had been inside, he'd also rolled down the windows to let the cool ocean breeze pass through the interior while he waited. His iPod was plugged into the stereo playing KT Tunstall low in the background—a live cover of the old Jackson 5 hit "I Want You Back."
"Turns out they didn't need us," Quinn said.
"No body?" Nate asked, surprised.
"There was a body. I just decided it might be better if they take care of it themselves."
Nate let out a short laugh. "Right. Better for who? Them or us?"
Quinn allowed a smile to touch his lips. "Let's go."
Nate looked at Quinn for a moment longer, seeming to be expecting more. When that didn't happen, he tossed his book in the back and started the engine. "Where to?"
Quinn glanced at his watch. It was 11 a.m. The drive back from Long Beach to his house in the Hollywood Hills would take them over an hour. "Home. But I'm hungry. Let's stop someplace first."
"How about Pink's?"
Quinn smiled. "That'll work."
They drove in silence for several minutes as Nate maneuvered the car through the city and onto the freeway.
Once they were up to cruising speed, Nate said, "So what exactly happened?"
Quinn gazed out the window at nothing in particular. "They didn't tell me all I needed to know."
"So you just walked?"
"I had to," Quinn said. He turned to his apprentice. "We don't need to know everything. That's not our job. But to do it right, sometimes there are things we have to know."
He started to tell Nate about his meeting with Stafford. When he reached the point where he questioned the man about the discovery of the body, his cell phone rang. He pulled it out, looked at the display, then frowned. He knew the call would come, but it didn't make him happy.
"This is Quinn."
"I understand you're not interested in helping us out." The high pitch of his voice was unmistakable. Jorge Albina.
Based out of San Francisco, Albina was an expert at getting things in and out of the country. Money, people, guns, and apparently now bodies, too. His services didn't come cheap, but his success rate was one of the best in the business.
"We can pretend that's the reason if it helps," Quinn said.
"It doesn't help if it's not the truth."
"That's exactly where you and I agree."
There was silence.
"Stafford told me you just left. No reason," Albina said.
"He was mistaken."
"That's not an answer."
Quinn took a deep breath. "Jorge, what's the most important part of my job?"
There was a hesitation. "Whatever I say is going to be the wrong answer."
"Not if you really thought about it," Quinn said. "But I'll tell you. Trust."
"Trust," Albina said as if he was trying out the word for the first time.
"Yes. See, you're trusting me with the knowledge of what happened, aren't you? You're trusting me to get rid of a problem so that it won't surface later, right? And you're trusting me that I'll never use what I've learned against you. Seems pretty important to me."
"A little dramatic, don't you think?" Albina said, irritation creeping into his voice. "You're a cleaner. Your job is simple. Just get rid of the body."
The muscles around Quinn's mouth tensed. "You know, you're right. It's the simplest job in the world. So I'm sure you can find someone else to help you from now on."
"Wait," Albina said. "Okay. I'm sorry. I know what you do isn't easy. And I trust you, all right? I trust you."
Quinn took a deep breath. "I have to trust you, too. I don't need to know a lot. Sometimes I don't need to know more than where the problem is. But when I do ask a question, there's a reason. I have to think about who else might know about the situation, and if they need to be steered in a different direction. I have to concern myself with where potential problems might come from while
I'm working. I won't take on a job if I don't trust the information I've been given."
He could hear Albina take a long, low breath on the other end. "So where was the issue?"
"I asked your man how the container got there, who discovered the body, and why they called him. He lied."
Albina sighed. "Look, two days ago I received a phone call, okay? I was told a package was on its way to me. Something for me personally. I was given the name of the ship, the Riegle 3, and the container number. My people were already scheduled to unload it, so controlling it wasn't difficult."
"Who was the call from?" Quinn asked.
"I don't know. It was ID'd as a Hawaiian number, but that was a dead end. Who knows where it really came from?"
"Man or woman?"
"But you didn't recognize the voice," Quinn said.
"No. I didn't."
Quinn contemplated for a moment. This explanation made a hell of a lot more sense than what he'd been told at the warehouse. But Albina was a smoother operator than Stafford, better at lying, so Quinn wasn't ready to trust the information yet.
"Is your decision not to help a final one?" Albina asked.
"Who's the dead guy?" Quinn asked. "One of your people?"
He had seen the body for only a few moments, and even then it had been bloated and discolored.
"Is that really something you need to know?" Albina said.
"It is now."
Albina was silent for several seconds. "Not one of mine," he finally said. "The man on the phone told me the dead guy's name was Steven Markoff. I've never heard of him."
Quinn tensed, his eyes frozen on the road ahead, but his voice remained neutral. "Markoff?"
"Yeah. He spelled it for me. M-A-R-K-O-F-F. You know him?"
"Name's not familiar."
"Whoever the hell he is, I just need to get rid of him." Albina hesitated a moment. "It's my fault Stafford lied to you. My orders. I just didn't want to get dragged into this more than necessary." Another pause. "I need your help."
Quinn knew Albina was holding something back. Only now it didn't matter.
"Quinn?" Albina asked.
"If I do this, you need to follow my instructions exactly," Quinn said. "No questions, no deviations."
"Of course."
Quinn tapped Nate on the shoulder, then pointed to the next exit. Immediately Nate began moving the BMW to the right.
"First you need to get the container away from the port," Quinn said. "You can get it past the customs people, right?"
"I can do that."
"The trailer you put it on should be untraceable. You won't be getting it back. And make sure the truck you use doesn't have any tracking devices. If it does, I'll know it, and you won't hear back from me. If everything goes right, I'll leave the truck someplace where you can pick it up when I'm done."
"Okay. No problem."
"There's a truck stop along the I-15 east of L.A., toward Corona," Quinn said, then gave him the name of the exit. "Have your driver park the rig there and leave the keys under the seat. You should have someone follow him in a car so they can leave together. But that's it. No one else, understand? If I pick up even a hint that I'm being followed by anyone, the deal's off."
"Call me once they've left the port."
Quinn hung up without waiting for a response.
"So," Nate said, "does this mean we're back on?"
Chapter Two
They made a few stops on the way out of town, picking up some items they'd need.
"Park over there," Quinn said when they reached the truck stop. He pointed toward a group of big rigs parked just behind a row of cars. Albina had called only five minutes before to tell him the container had just left the port, so he knew it hadn't arrived yet. Still, he did a quick scan of the trucks to be sure Jorge wasn't playing any games. The container wasn't there.
After they parked, Quinn got out and had Nate pop the trunk. The storage space was covered by a dark gray carpet Quinn had installed himself. On the left side, on top of the carpet, were the items they'd purchased on the way.
Quinn ignored those and lifted up a section of the carpet on the right. Underneath was what anyone would expect, the metal bottom of the trunk. The only exception was a small black square mounted at the junction where the floor met the rear of the car.
Quinn placed the pad of his left thumb on the square. A moment later, the base of the trunk hinged up an inch, exposing a custom-built compartment below. He reached into the gap and released the catch, freeing the panel to open all the way.
The space below held his standard kit, things he might need at a moment's notice. There were several cases, most made of hard plastic, and a few simple leather pouches. He ran his fingers over the cases until he found the one he wanted. After pulling it out, he grabbed one of the leather pouches, then shut the panel and put the carpet back into place.
He walked up to the open driver's window. "You watch from here," he told his apprentice.
"Got it," Nate said.
Quinn opened the leather pouch and removed one set of communication gear. He inserted the earpiece into his right ear, its small size making it all but invisible, then attached the tiny transmitter inside his collar.
"Let me know if you spot anything I should know about," he said, handing Nate the bag with a second set of radio gear still inside.
The interior of the truck stop was a familiar one—restaurant, gift shop, restrooms. Quinn wandered around looking at the postcards, the T-shirts, and the discount CDs as he checked out the other people inside. No one registered as a threat.

Quinn is the Best! This series will not disappoint!!
Excellent book. Not sure why Brett Battles is not a more well known.
looking forward to more in the series
The Deceived is definitely a thriller and Battles has no trouble keeping up the pace or making his book engaging. The main character, Jonathan Quinn, is a professional 'cleaner'. When Quinn is called about a dead body in a shipping container he is shocked to discover that the dead body is his friend Steven Markoff, a ex-CIA agent. Quinn now has to find Markoff's girlfriend Jenny in hopes of discovering why Markoff's body was sent to him and why he was killed. And what he finds along the way is quite surprising.
Just finished The Deceived. I also read The Cleaner. I like this one a lot better than the first. The pace of the book was tremendous as well as the locale of the overseas. The book leaves you guessing until the end. I also like the book is set perfectly up for the 3rd Quinn book that Battles is working on. I recommend it to anyone who likes spy novels.
As a CIA Cleaner, Jonathan Quinn has only one restriction as he rids corpses that must vanish without a trace his one personal decree is to insure nothing can ever trace in even a remote way to him he must ¿disappear¿ once the job is done. His current assignment is to clean up the violation of his basic rule of survival. At a Los Angeles port, a shipping container arrives holding a special cargo inside is CIA agent Steven Markoff, who once saved his life. Quinn knows that besides cleaning the mess, he must inform Steve¿s girlfriend, Jenny Fuentes that he is dead and find who sent him this corpse as a special cryptic message. To Quinn¿s shock, Jenny is missing and many people want her to stay vanished, which means killing Quinn and his two cronies. Quinn and his buddies globetrot to Europe following clues that ultimately leads to what appears to be an international conspiracy focused out of Singapore. However, he needs to turn to additional underworld help to close in on his main adversary. At an incredible pace faster than the speed light in spite of stunning plausible twists, fans will relish this electrifying thriller that in many ways is more political than espionage (though some might say all espionage is political).------ Harriet Klausner

Come Together: The Official John Lennon Educational Tour Bus Guide to Music and Video (Mixed media product)JLSC Educational Bus Tour, Mark Garvey
Mixed media product Published: 21/01/2007
- Can be ordered from our supplier
John Lennon's legacy continues with "Come Together: The Official John Lennon Educational Tour Bus Guide to Music and Video". This beautiful full-color book features interviews with music and songwriting tips from outstanding musicians including John Legend, "The Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am", Macy Gray, "The Eagles' Don Felder", and "The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir", with a foreword by Yoko Ono Lennon. 'This is precisely the kind of project that John would have loved', says Ono. Filled with photographs and featuring a companion DVD-Rom, "Come Together" is part how-to, part celebrity interviews, part technological showcase, and part travelogue. It's truly an enlightening read for music aficionados, fans, students, songwriters, producers, engineers, teachers - anyone with an interest in music. The non-profit John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a professional mobile recording and multimedia studio outfitted with the latest in audio and video technological advances as well as traditional musical instruments. Since 1998, the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has provided free hands-on programs to hundreds of thousands of people at high schools, colleges, Boys and Girls Clubs, music festivals, concerts, conventions and community organizations. Across America throughout the year, students work with the staff of onboard engineers to write an original song, record and mix the song, and create a music video of the song's performance - all in one day! Many celebrity recording artists work with kids on the one-of-a-kind Bus, providing music and production expertise as well as guidance and encouragement. A portion of the proceeds from this book go toward supporting the non-profit John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.

Customer details stolen in Sony Playstation Network debacle
Passwords and credit card details compromised
ONLINE GAMING OUTFIT Sony has suffered a severe security breach on its Playstation Network and Qriocity services that has compromised users' personal data including passwords and credit card details.
The latest twist in this growing debacle is Sony's admission that between 17 and 19 April there was an "an illegal and unauthorised intrustion" onto its network that resulted in customer account information being stolen.
Sony revealed that the data stolen included users' names, addresses, countries, email addresses, birthdates, passwords, login-IDs and usernames for the Playstation Network and Qriocity services.
The company said that a number of other details might have been obtained, including credit card information and password security answers. Sony said that there is no evidence yet that credit card details were stolen, but that "out of an abundance of caution" it was advising customers that their full credit card numbers and expiration dates might have been exposed. The security codes on the backs of credit cards are believed to be safe.
What this means for customers is that they could become the victims of scams via phone, mail, or email that ask for additional details needed to steal their identity or make use of the credit card information. Sony is warning customers to be vigilant and stressing that it will never contact them asking for their personal information.
Sony also advised people to change their passwords, especially if they use them on multiple websites, and to avail themselves of fraud prevention services, such as filing a fraud alert with a credit bureau. Sony has not said as much, but caution suggests that it might also be a good idea to cancel credit cards and get new ones.
This security breach elevates the seriousness of the attack on Sony's network in the eyes of the law and could mean big trouble for whoever is behind it if they get caught. Anonymous has denied organising the attack, but admitted that some members may have acted independently.
Sony said it is working around the clock to bring its services back online and has hired a security firm to investigate the attack. For customers who have merely been angry about losing access to Sony's online services, this has just become an even bigger and more serious headache. µ

We were recommended to stay here by the Lamb and Lion Ministries and it was an excellent place to stay. It was very convenient as we were going back there the next morning to Lamb and Lion. Rooms were very clean and nice and this was our first night of staying in Comfort Inn and was an enjoyable stay as we were there long enough to enjoy the amenities. Breakfast was very good.

Good 3.1 /5 from 143 reviews
Room was very small. Fridge/microwave were added which was good but made getting our suitcase into the room impossible. Bathroom was clean and modern. Furniture had seen better days, scratched, dented and even had holes in it. Breakfast was uninspiring.
Location was perfect for any gieven tourist looking to get outdoors and exploring.
Staff was very kind to accommodate our situation. The location is right on the main street which is on the road to everything in Taos. The bed was very comfortable.
Hotel Location
Very impressed by the room. Smelled great. Clean and comfortable. Nice view of the mountain range. Nicest Super 8 I've ever stayed in. Would love to stay here again.

A master of piece activity! A genius of Bishop Play! A true hero of positional chess! The good doctor Rubinstein was all of the above and more, and in today's video GM Bojkov continues to relish in the legacy Akiba Rubinstein left behind. What starts as another typical Tarrasch, leads to an unbalanced middlegame/endgame where the Bishop and Knight are set to battle it out again. Learn from Rubi's deep understanding of how to outplay the less powerful pony! | Watch video
What happens when one endgame master attempts to outplay another? It's dynamite! Today the good doctor Rubinstein puts on a clinic against a fellow well known master of technique: Richard Reti. The battle of Bishop vs Knight in all its glory is on display here, and eventually, we see the Bishop's ability to "play both sides" and create more than one weakness leaves the knight feeling ill equipped in the critical moments... | Watch video
A tragic chess comedy? Not for Smyslov! The first game GM Dzindzichashvili reviews shows the former World Champion's defensive tenacity and his positional stubbornness as well as any game he ever played. Truth be told though, it didn't mean he deserved to win -- but when your opponent pushes a King and Pawn Endgame past the point of no return, it's time to cash in! | Watch video
Another Diamond -- or should be say "Rubi" -- in the rough! GM Dejan Bojkov keeps the Greatest Chess Minds train rolling today with a detailed look at Akiba Rubinstein's first victory over the World Champion Emanuel Lasker. The youngest has no fear when facing one of Lasker's pet lines, he quickly earns a slight positional advantage, and if you make your way through the complex middlegame, you will see some excellent Rook Ending Technique by Rubinstein. | Watch video
Fear the Python! FM Liu concludes his "featured author" installment for this month with a second, even more frightening example of Positional Strangulation! In this well known battle, one of the first true positional geniuses (former World Champion Wilhelm Steinetz) performs unwilling surgery on his opponent, exposing one positional weakness after another to eventually leave his opponent breathless... | Watch video
To conclude his coverage of the 2012 World Open, GM Shankland brings us Part 2 of his battle against Mongolia's top Grandmaster! In this highly instructive, and ultra-complex endgame from round 8, Shanky must make a critical decision right off the bat. He challenges the Chess.com Members to decide on how they would continue play. He then explains the struggles of converting his "tiny yet clear" advantage. | Watch video
In today's Member Analysis video, GM Bojkov highlights an extremely interesting example of a "jailed piece"! When white misplays the critical moment and allows his own bishop to get trapped behind a seriously dysfunctional pawn structure (tripled pawns), black must show good technique to keep the piece "out of the action" and convert an otherwise equal ending. Enjoy member Sangralo's impressive play! | Watch video
He's well known for his tactical prowess, his lightning fast calculation skills, and great fighting spirit... but what many people don't know about Super-GM Hikaru Nakamura is that he also possesses great endgame skill! Today's video highlights a brilliantly developed, deep plan by the U.S. Champion that helped him convert a small position advantage against Chess.com Video Author, GM Gregory Kaidanov. Principle of Two Weaknesses is on display and GM Perelshteyn leads the way! | Watch video
He's hungry, and he can't be stopped! Today GM Lenderman displays multiple examples of how the world #1 continues to press, push, and pull for any kind of advantage in his chess games. Carlsen's objective, accurate decision making along with a strong appetite to win chess games makes him the most feared chess player in the world... | Watch video
When he finds himself on the worse end of an Opposite Colored Bishop ending, GM Shankland must make a critical decision: Either try to improve his defensive setup before his opponent increases the pressure, or just stay put.

Lynda Carter proves to be a better actress than people conceive her as in
her portrayal of a Wife and Mother that poses for Playboy. Another great
character is the "slutty" twin sister played by Josie Bissett of Melrose
Place. Josie's acting in this movie is much better than in the cheesy
Overall, this movie is credible, but might be a disappointment for people who want to see skin.
This movie was thought provoking in a sense because it shows how men separate the women that they love from the women they see in girlie magazines! In this flick the women needed to affirm their physical beauty by going to a girlie magazine photographer! Where are the husbands and the fathers? It also makes this decision to pose seem self-centered (not that the characters were self-centered; they were well acted). The women that make an emotionally charged decision to pose rarely think about the loved ones that they will hurt once the pictures are made public! It also serves to turn an otherwise complex, multi-faceted character into an object!This movie also should warn all the husbands and fathers out there to not neglect their wives and daughters; so that they won't resort to drastic measures to feel attractive!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Posing inspired by three real stories. A housewife, a Yalestudent, a
Chicagobroker: an interview. Of course: never, ever is something free
and has to be payed. The stockbroker (her answer to her colleagues: "I
pose for Playboy when you've posed for Playgirl") loses her job and is
for ever on the black list. The same for the housewife: punished that
she dared. The family business will never be 'after' what it was
'before'. The Yalestudent, against Playboy what it stands for and does,
is banned by her professor-father, forbidding the publication His
'perfect' daughter answers: "It's too late". When she confronts him,
why he doesn't answer her calls: "I don't take calls from strangers
("I'm your daughter, not a stranger") "
Not anymore. You are not a
daughter anymore of mine." The stockbroker (behind her success-career
is ' the fat schoolgirl') loses her work and wins love. The same for
the housewife. For one single day she is not looked at. But seen and
special: "I was flattered, who would't be" not taken for granted as a
furniture in her house, by neighbors and dear friends. Why did these
three women do what they did? Beside their very own reason, being
neglected of what they are, want to be and are not: they where pushed
by society to do what the did. "But", as Janets mother asks, "there
must be another way" and Janet: "Maybe, but it didn't come along." They
saw suddenly a way out of their one-way-street: and made the deal with
Playboy's devil. Society saw it as a joke, never believing they would
do it. At stake was their image, their family, the career at work. The
three turned the limelights beam on the veil. And the veil became
transparent, everybody not looking but suddenly seeing behind. The
settled every-day-housewife knew: with the birth of her children she
was not special anymore, but 'a furniture' of the household. The
success-money-broker, burdened by her image of the fat schoolgirl. And
the Yale student remembers the five minutes that transformed her into
the 'shining-perfect-example'. The moment at summer camp when her twin
sister helped her stage frightened sister as a stand in: "It's amazing
how five minutes can change a whole life." When, still against
Playboy's values, she accepts their offered bait, she pretends the
first moments to be her sister. The perfect Abigail, reconnects with
her twin sister, sees herself on the same level, being suddenly
imperfect. The housewife discovers that her husband subscribes Playboy.
"For gods sake. I subscribe to a new magazine. What's the big deal.
It's only a magazine". And to her friend: "Jimmy looks rather at a
Playboy magazine than at me". As the other two, she knew that she
crossed the line and had to pay - would she do it again? Without
family: she would. Society's values, the values of the white, the
normal, the values of men the boy's club. The housewife to her boyish
husband: "You look at me and do not see me. Where is the promise for
better and worse?" Her best friend, believing all is a joke, that she
never would do it, asks what choice they have as married women: if you
choose this you must sacrifice that.
The message: when the stockbroker tells her mother what her daughter has done. "Why didn't you ask for the 500 dollars?" "Five hundred dollars I make at work in five minutes. I did it for me. Just for me." Her mothers values are questioned: "What do you want of me, my approval? Well, I can't give you that." And when her daughter asks for her just-once-understanding her mother, she herself an exploited piece of furniture, answers: "Alright. Help me understand." Her boss at work: "I'm not firing you; even if I want. I do not need a lawsuit. I don't think you are very happy working here from now on." Easy are other instruments that she quits of free will. Janet admits that she has today a better sense as a woman, that she had the courage to tell Michael what she wanted.
And that she knows: "The rules for men and women are very different. I learned it the hard way."
Described by Slavoj Zizek. It is the obscene other side, the dark side of the Superego. Rob Reiner has it in the movie A Few Good Men. Everybody knows the red code. But not allowed to pull it into daylight. Used when the ethic code of togetherness is in danger. The official, written Law vs the 'obscene' unwritten Law - the spoken traumas sound of the Superego. For a short moment the three "Few Good Women" limelighted the Behind behind the veil.
Disregarding the French Civil Code Book (1804) § 340 Scrutiny as to paternity is forbidden... But: ... § 341 Scrutiny as to maternity is admissible.The (fe-) male director Stephen Stafford, ends the TV-play with the following text "Altough inspired by three true stories, certain characters, names, places and events have been created or altered for (male) dramatic purposes."
Seeing recently, September 2015, the movie again together with my Colombian sister: we believed that the 'hollywoodending' was needed but: ... not necessary.

Round Juicy Butts
|If you look at Micah Moore and your dick doesn't instantly get hard, then you must not be looking at her round juicy butt. It's mesmerizing!
It's nearly impossible to take your eyes off of it, her juicy, tanned ass is perfect and goes along perfectly with her flat stomach and perky new boobs. When Derrick Pierce walks in he's drawn in by her almost naked booty, and spends his time caressing it and licking it.
Micah is starting to get really wet so she gets down to suck on his thick rod so her tight, pink pussy can get pummeled.
Round Juicy Butts
|Goddamn – Latin stunner Luscious Lopez looks fucking amazing in a bikini! This short but perfect babe has got a fantastic ass and some of the hottest natural boobies that you'll ever see.
As she strolls around the grounds, the camera panning up and down her perfect body as she smiles seductively, your dick will be rock hard with every jiggle of those perfect melons! She gets it on outside with her man Rusty Trombone and then he leads her inside to continue the action away from the prying eyes of the neighbors.
Luscious loves it from the rear and Rusty spunks on her tight ass crack after an especially vigorous bout of anal.
Round Juicy Butts
|This hot brunette has some serious curves. She has huge tits, a nice little set of hips and a nice round ass. She is a full package that has the womanly curves that are such a turn on.
When Alanah Rae bends over and lets her large tits dangle and you see her slurping on cock, it is truly a thing of beauty.
Will Powers the stunt cock makes sure he can get a good view of that ass he likes so much when he is jack hammering his cock into her twat and making her scream. With a face as fine as hers you just know he's got to drop his load all over it.
Round Juicy Butts
|Riley's an 18 year old girl next door type who thinks she's got enough junk in the trunk to impress us.
Once she got oiled up, her assets became very apparent. Shy and quiet, she let me have my way with her as I jammed her deep and slapped my balls against her pillow-soft pussy.
For a young girl, she really knows how to work it from on top. My cum looks so good dripping off her chin.
Round Juicy Butts
|Vida's a confident girl who can back it up with a booty to die for. But where this ebony beauty really shines is in sucking and fucking.
Watch her gag on my big white cock and make some crazy slurping noises. When she pulls her floppy tits together, she makes one super tight fuckhole. Almost as tight as her dark meat pussy that I rammed hard from behind.
Vida's sure got plenty of cushion for the pushin.
Round Juicy Butts
|This hardcore hottie in hotpink stiletto's lets her ass hang out wherever she goes. She loves to have her ass eaten and beaten. (Wait till you see how red it gets!)
She swallowed my big cock as I stuffed it down her skinny throat then demanded to have her pussy pounded into submission. What Tyla wants, Tyla gets.
See her taste her own round juicy butt after I give it a fresh coat of baby batter. Finger-licking good!
Round Juicy Butts
|If you like a round juicy butt then brunette hottie Tiffany Tyler is the babe for you. She has long legs, perky tits and a firm heart shaped booty. She struts around the house in a white tank top and panties jiggling her ass.
She gets sprayed with water to make her clothes see through, giving us a glimpse of her hot young body. She waits on the bed for Mike Adriano to arrive and give her the pleasure she has been seeking. He gets the first taste of her sweet pussy sticking his tongue inside her hole.
She kneels in front of him to get a taste of his meat, deep throating his pulsing dong then taking him into her tight hole.
Round Juicy Butts
|Sexy Alexis Breeze has perky little tits and a big round ass. Her juicy butt looks great in a thong bikini and seems to float on the water when she get in the pool.
Laying on her belly on the bed, clenching her ass cheeks together her thong is removed and oil is slathered all over her mounds. With her body glistening she crawls towards Falco and his waiting boner.
She raises her ass in the air as she polishes his knob to a shine before climbing on top of him and slipping his cock into her pussy. Her squeezable ass provides all the cushion Falco needs to thrust his shaft deep inside her.
Round Juicy Butts
|Hot blond co-ed Aubrey Addams has a sweet round ass and loves to have it shiny and glistening in the light. She walks upstairs into the house and crawls onto the waiting bed arching her back like a cat and shaking her butt.
Talon is eager to get his hands on her, bends her over and shoves his fingers into her juicy hole, then pulls her to his waiting boner so she can lube it up with her warm mouth.
Gripping her hips he pulls her wet snatch to his the tip of his cock and slides it deep inside her with one hard thrust then keeps pounding her until she cums and he is ready to blow his load in her open mouth.

David Dunlap Observatory
David Dunlap Observatory information
North of the Toronto city limits, the David Dunlap Observatory houses Canada's largest optical telescope (the reflector measures 1.9m). On Saturday evenings, the observatory presents introductory talks on modern astronomy, followed by some interplanetary voyeurism. Check that weather conditions are favorable and book ahead for limited tickets.
Take the subway north to Finch station then transfer to the 91 Bayview bus (operated by York Region Transit) and request a stop at Hillsview Dr, from where it's a 1km walk to the observatory. Otherwise, drive north on Bayview Ave past 16th Ave to Hillsview Dr, turn left onto Hillsview Dr then head 1km further west until you see the white dome on your left.

A friend had me try some Trader Joe's blended whisky, and I had to wash my mouth out with a good Ardbeg to feel right again. At least I can now tell the difference between good whisky and whisky meant for mixing.

Street Sk8er User Reviews
Street Sk8rSummary:
Before there was the skateboarding giant, Tony Hawk, there were few skateboarding games for Playstation, all of which were trying to make a name for themselves. The most popular of all of those was Street Sk8er. Being able to play from one of many skaters including a monkey and even a ninja. The tracks were plentiful and there were even competitions. So far it is shaping up to be a great game, but what was it that made Street Sk8er such an unpopular game, and fail horribly once the big skateboarding bully, Tony Hawk came out? Was it the trick count? No, there were plenty of tricks for each ...

CCJ gapped up today but did not hold - what does this mean ? My thought is that it is headed down short term.
Yup, there's definitely a little doji there, and a couple of the oscillators are showing a likely pullback, but I wouldn't expect anything much other than the usual couple of points, not worth a trade for scalping unless you are trading at least 10,000 shares and don't mind taking the risk of missing the boat in getting back in. Use the short term trend line, and the 20dma for best timing. Then make sure the oscillators are changing. Otherwise, just don't waste your time, and simply hold. CCJ is not an easy stock to trade very often. Most of the techies I've seen on this talk-a-thon are not good enough to do what they claim. Most are full of BS. There's only been a couple who've been helpful and knowledgeable about the subject that don't act like fools. :)
thank you for your comments
I would not waste one second worrying about what happens to this stock in the short term! Unless of course you need the money within a month or so. Here is a quote from today's Dines letter. I have been a subscriber for only one month and it has paid for its subscription several times over-How people react to news can be very revealing. Forexample, Kuwait has made the incredible revelationthat their largest oil field is past its peak output andwill plunge. That�s right, Kuwait�s Burgan oil field willnow reduce its planned output from two-million barrels aday to around 1.7-million barrels per day, quite a shockfor the world�s second-largest oil field that has beenpumping for almost sixty years and which accounts forover half of Kuwait�s proven oil reserves! All currentforecasts for higher oil output from Kuwait must now beconsidered completely wrong. We do not do bookreviews, but we did mention Twilight in the Desert: TheComing Saudi Oil Shock in a recent TDL, by MattSimmons.
thank you
Starcon...appreciate the exerpt, but are you allowed to "reproduce" anything from TDL without permission? Good day for us all with CCJ.Good luck with all your investments!
