Oil Spill - What is not reportedPermalink +
Mon, Jun 28, 2010, 3:17 pm // John Servais
I'll bet this video has scenes you did not even know existed in the Gulf of Mexico. Watching it, I kept wondering when the plane would be ordered out of the air space over the British Petroleum operations area. The video was taken last week, June 21, from a private airplane flight over the gulf. It is almost 10 minutes long, but you can quit anytime you get nauseated.

This game is like a funny and cute version of Galcon. It's got even more to it though because you have power-ups that you can use which provides an extra kick to the standard Galcon style gameplay.
Oh and I was attracted to the app because of the hilarious icon. I have it on my first page on my iPhone because it makes me laugh when I see it.
Played this for hours! Graphics are so funny and music too. Would be great if there was a counter for the number of factories you've destroyed and a zoom out button! :P
Fun, gets harder, add more roosters!
Very fun game, it gets harder the further you get I the game, to the point of having to use power ups. Needs more roosters! I want to play more!

|WikiProject Disambiguation
There seems to be both this article and map projection. Since both seem to be talking about essentially the same things, it might be worthwhile to merge them and redirect the other. If so, someone with a better background in mathematics or cartography would be better suited to the task than myself. -- IHCOYC
This page is now a disambiguation page. -- The Anome 20:49 21 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Projection categories of meaning[edit]
Ref: 10 Quick definitions paraphrase for "projection".
- the act of expelling or ejecting.
- the act of reaching or projecting out from something.
- any peripheral shape that juts or branches from a central shape.
- the mathematical (or other) representation of an object, in a different coordinate system.
* the graphic representation of a 2D or 3D object on a separate surface. [[1]], [[2]]
- the projection of an image from a film onto a screen.
- the acoustic phenomenon that gives sound a penetrating or far reaching quality.
- a mental defense mechanism by which your own traits and emotions are attributed to someone else.
- a prediction made by extrapolating from past observation or experience.
- a planned undertaking.
18.104.22.168 (talk) 02:25, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Projection in databases[edit]
I'm missing the definition of projection in database systems. Can anyone please set the link and write the article? --MauriceKA 09:33, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Geographic use of orthographic projection[edit]
. Many place names in WikiPedia use an orthographic projection image of the earth to more usefully illustrate the position on the surface of the earth. The advantage is that of the orthographic projection is that is gives more 'practical' position & directional information to near-by (same hemisphere) features (coasts, islands, continents, etc.) which are directly usable for aircraft flights, radio propagation, etc.
. It would be useful to indicate how new projections can be generated when someone puts in a new place name.
. Note that there are many types of (ie: there is no 'true') orthographic projection.

Canelo Responds To Marquez, Won't Move From 9/14 Date
By Ryan Burton
Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez appeared on a recent edition of BoxingScene Radio to speak on a variety of topics including his big win over Austin "No Doubt" Trout. There were 39,247 in attendance to witness Alvarez's biggest win to date in his young career. Alvarez said he felt honored to have such tremendous support.
"It felt good and more than anything I feel very grateful. It motivated me a lot to train hard and make sure I got the win knowing that a lot of fans were going to be there," Alvarez stated.
An article recently appeared on BoxingScene in which former four division champion Juan Manuel Marquez said that there is still work to be done before Alvarez can be considered an elite fighter.
"A win over Trout (does) not confirm that (Canelo) is the best, because there are higher quality opponents out there. This (is) an important step for Canelo and (a win over Trout gives him) access to bigger fights. He has to face the right opponents and prove that he is a great fighter - opponents like Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez, Vanes Martirosyan, Erislandy Lara. He has to fight those kind of opponents to prove that he's among the best in the world. That's where it should be confirmed (that he's great) and where (he will) gain greater credibility," said Marquez.
Alvarez took Marquez's comments in stride stating that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
"I don't have an opinion on that. I respect everyone and everyone has the right to their own opinion," Alvarez told BoxingScene Radio.
I also mentioned to the 22-year-old that Top Rank plans on staging a welterweight fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and WBO champion Tim Bradley, on September 14th, which is obviously going to be a head to head event with Canelo's planned return - presumably against Miguel Cotto. Both events would take place in Las Vegas. Canelo-Cotto would be carried by Showtime, while HBO pay-per-view will showcase Marquez-Bradley. Canelo said that he sympathizes with the fans but makes it clear that he had the date first and the show must go on.
"I like challenges and if they (Top Rank) want to do it I look at it as a challenge to motivate me. I feel bad (for the fans) but that is a date we already had. I always fight on Mexican Independence Day," Canelo explained.
You can listen to the show in its entirety by clicking here: http://tobtr.com/s/4598335

Marquez vs Bradley should be the better selling fight regardless. Its 2 fighters coming off a win streak...while Canelo fighting Cotto is a guy coming off 2 losses. People stop thinking with race, leave that Rican Vs Mexican crap along...…Comment by BoxngLove on 04-30-2013
Just think what good fights we would get if they SWAPPED OPPONENTS! JMM vs Canelo @ 150?? Cotto vs Bradley @154??Comment by nycsmooth on 04-30-2013
I will go 2 Vegas 2 c Bradley/JMM, alvarez v Cotto is BS, Cotto's been fininshed 4 more than 2 years, he nothing to bring to a fight...Comment by SlySlickSmooth on 04-30-2013
Sorry, but even if he fights Cotto I'm tuning into Marquez vs Bradley.Comment by iniduoh on 04-30-2013
For Canelo to fight Cotto would be meaningless. Everyone knows he beats Cotto, so whats the point?Post a Comment - View More User Comments (60)

What Comes After Alcohol Detox?
Alcohol detox is the first stage of alcohol recovery, and while it may be the most difficult stage in many ways, it is only the beginning. After detox, the addict has gotten all the alcohol out of his or her system, and it is now time to start forging a sober future. This comes with numerous big questions, including how to deal with old friends who are still drinking, what to do with one's spare time, and how to handle emotional difficulties and stress without drinking. For these and other reasons, it is always a good idea for the recovering addict to continue in a rehab program even after alcohol detox.
First steps
Alcohol detox and the days immediately afterward are a time to take stock. There are certain parts of every addict's life that need to be overhauled or completely dispensed with. Sadly, some friends may have to be left behind until they themselves are ready to stop drinking. Meanwhile, some of the old social habits, coping mechanisms, and patterns of thought are going to have to change.
Sorting through all these issues can be difficult, which is why it is a good idea for the recovering alcoholic to seek help from others. Therapy is recommended for anyone whose drinking habit springs at least in part from emotional turmoil, repressed feelings, or a need to escape one's thoughts. Therapy helps the recovering addict understand why they are the way they are, and this understanding will be crucial in the months ahead.
Meanwhile, it is also advisable to attend support group meetings for at least a few months after quitting. These provide a welcome sense of community while also demonstrating that no addict is alone. There are others who have been through the same trials and have come out stronger.
Long-term sobriety
Another concern after alcohol detox is deciding how one's alcohol-free life should go. For example, you may have to find new social activities, and you might even have to take up some new hobbies to fill all the time you used to spend drinking. It is common to have stumbles and moments of weakness during this period. It is never easy to completely change one's life, but it can be done.
Every recovering addict can benefit from finding a few new things that he or she likes to do. For example, if you have an old hobby or creative passion that you have allowed to languish, now is the time to pick it up again. Throwing oneself into one's professional life can provide welcome distraction, but it is important not to become so immersed in work that you become stressed out. The first year or so of sobriety can be precarious, so it is best to play it safe and do everything in moderation.

Fixed PriceBudget: $30
Start DateFebruary 4, 2013
I am a musician from the UK who normally arranges his own music for students. As a guitarist I am looking for some easy,simple arrangements for a 4 part classical guitar ensemble.
I am looking for someone to arrange Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi for 4 guitars.
I need a short intro of 4-8 bars, a verse, then chorus and an outro/ending.
I usually give guitar 1's the melody, guitar 2 some of the melody and middle harmony, guitar 3 easy harmony, guitar 4 bass line. If you can add chord symbols for a couple of players to strum a chord accompaniment that would be great.
The standard needs to be between grade 1 and 2, so very simple as the players are aged between 8 and 12 years old. Should really only take a couple of hours to do this job.
I have never outsourced music arrangements on here but have used oDesk for several years with my online business. If you do a good job I will have lots more work for you!

Skip to comments.Georgia Obama Ballot Challenge Update: Petition for Writ of Certiorari Filed With (SCOTUS)
Posted on 07/04/2012 9:09:26 PM PDT by Seizethecarp
Powell-Swensson-Welden v Obama, Petition for Writ of Certiorari, US Supreme Court 6-28-2012
Question #1: Does the right to associate force states to accept any candidate from political parties for presentation on state primary ballots when such a candidate does not meet the minimum legal qualifications for the office sought, thereby negating state election laws and state control of elections?
Question #2: Are all individuals born on U.S. soil Article II natural born citizens, regardless of the citizenship of their parents?
(Excerpt) Read more at obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com ...
Ping to GA ballot challenge going to SCOTUS...
Sure would be nice, but, we have Roberts to screw us over, pardon m language, so we would be screwed anyway.
Roberts might object to a situation where there is no remedy for state citizens to object to ineligible national party candidates. If there are five votes to declare Barry NBC assuming a US birth regardless of his alleged Kenyan father, better to have a ruling now and have done with it so Rubios and Jindal and potential backers know where they stand.
SCOTUS knows that Barry could be out in four months and the easy way out is to evade until then.
If Arpaio comes out on July 17 with proof Barry's HI BC is forged, or proof he was born outside the US, then a hearing on his eligibility could become moot if the evidence is strong, and America would have a whole different constitutional crisis!
That's a question that the US courts and their judges do not honestly answer despite numerous Supreme Court cases that give them the natural born citizen definition based on natural law.
Bring it on. Obama is a walking Constitutional crisis. A "crises" that boots him out early is fine and I'm sure with most of us. And no, Hillary or any other Dem candidate could not save the Dem party from destruction in November.
crises = crisis
Question #2 - this morning on Washington Journal, two callers each asked about this. The first was during a segment with the president of the Heritage Foundation who smiled and told the caller that anyone born here is a NBC as the Founders intended it. (!)
The host looked relieved, and later during the next guest segment, a second man called in about the same thing and how the parents had to be citizens also, and this time the host cut him off, saying "the previous guest already addressed that."
Wow. Cspan really didn't want those callers (but I'm glad they got through anyway :-)
If Arpaio releases incontrovertible evidence of 0bamao NOT beinf a citize, and therefore not truly a legitimate president, what effect on legislation signed and what effect on the whole of the demoncrat party?
I would expect a full court press to silence Arpaio and a desire to get 0bamao out of town by January if that came to pass.
Doesn't matter at all.
We are no longer a contitutional republic, and there is no constitution.
It is very inconvenient for "we the people" for SCOTUS to blow town all summer when constitutional ballot issues are pending...but very convenient for evasion of "political issues" that might "damage the reputation of the court."
The president of the Heritage Foundation said that!?!
Good LORD!!!!
Are his children being threatened as well????
I thought we could trust the Heritage Foundation!
GOPe wants Rubio...
We should be so lucky. Why don't I feel more optimistic about this? I was crushed when Breitbart died (and I do NOT think it was natural causes).
And whose opinion does that idiot and high schooler John Roberts hold in deep reverence?
Gee I wonder if it is the New York Slimes? The Washington ConPost? the DC liberal cocktail crowd? Likely all of the above. Puke.
I thought so, too, but was thoroughly unimpressed with this doofus. Can't send you a link on this phone (don't know how :-) but if you go on cspan's site, check their schedule for the 4th on Washington Journal and you should be able to watch online.
If you do, let me know what you think (his segment is about 40 min.).
The Heritage Foundation is out on a liberal lunch break on the issue of the NBC clause. Because a few years ago, there was a natural born citizen clause section in their book the Heritage Guide to the Constitution, which was written by James C. Ho, a whiny liberal who thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger could be president.
Bare naked eyeballing the big numbers on it shows evidence of tampering aka FORGERY!
I think Mark Levin has said the same...
Thanks for the ping.
I realize that's a possibility, but I suspect that neither he nor Jindal nor Haley will be the VP pick, talk about "thoroughly vetting" Rubio notwithstanding. I am convinced that millions, possibly tens of millions of conservative voters are perfectly aware of the two-citizen parent requirement for NBC and will vote 3rd Party or write-in a candidate in the event that the GOP pick for VP is ineligible. I'm one of them, and it's pretty much the only thing that would prompt me to do so, barring Romney (meh) getting caught with either a live boy or a dead girl between now and 06 November.
One of his own sons made a crack about "Obama"'s eligibility for pete's sake, though he was brought back in line quickly. I could be utterly wrong on this, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that there are enough conservatives out there who care enough about this issue that Romney would be defeated in a close election if the constitutionalist vote were to be lost by bringing aboard an ineligible candidate. I don't think he'll risk it.
Of course, if the fix is in anyway, and Romney is supposed to "go down in the 11th," well then we're already in the Globalist Hurt Locker with no foreseeable realistic way out any time soon. At least not without major convulsions.
Domo for the Ping, BD.
This "Hillary will swoop in and is a much more formidable foe than Bamster" line of reasoning has always annoyed me. If Barry were to be incontrovertibly outed as an ineligible fraud, Hillary and a whole lot of others would be lucky to keep their own necks out of the noose, and certainly she wouln't be able to effectively aspire to the Executive.
If the eligibility fraud issue were come to a head, the least of our worries would be whether or not Hillary is a threat. It (the undeniable exposure of the usurpation) could bring down the government entire; at least all of it that had or has responsibility for oversight and protection against infiltration and treason.
Hillary is probably also up to her eyeballs in Fast and Furious, which would just be rancid icing on the treasonous cake.
I suspect we would hear the phrase "good faith" ad nauseum.
Juan Mc C was born on Panamanian soil. Not NBC.
Mutt's daddy was born in Mexico. Again Not NBC.
Coincidence? Hardly!
This is proof of the communist infiltration at the highest levels of the GOP. To run 2 candidates that are ineligible against another ineligible candidate.
Meet the new Boss.
We are no longer a contitutional republic, and there is no constitution"...
I agree with you..It looks as though the Supreme Court Justice might have submitted to some kind of coercion in the gigantic, life changing healthcare bill decision. The US will go into a darkness of life not experienced here before which much of the communist world has known and other nations will follow. Our forefathers gave us the chance to try individual freedom and rule by the people and it worked for 200 plus years. Then, the world became very jealous and envious of our success and the wealth which followed..They desired to steal it and, further more, some of our own saw the benefit of using those same ugly human traits to grab personal power for themselves through dividing us from one another through unconstitutional acts. Now, we are in a shambles, facing drought and God only knows what else. Our media is largely to blame for our dilemma..They are beyond corruption at this point. Who believes them??? We are drug infested and my belief is that the drugs are used everywhere..In government, in church, in school, and in families. Many drugs effect the frontal lobes of the brain where logic and reason reside. It is unthinkable that, say, Supreme Court Justices, other kinds of judges and lawmakers and officials might be subjected to such drug use, but they are just men and women like everyone else. I imagine if we could know the truth we would be VERY afraid. This is what a Godless society looks like and we haven't seen anything yet.
The problem is the GOP forced 2 candidates with eligibility problems upon US at the same time as the DNC did.
They are in bed with each other, and we the people pay the motel bill!
And the Roberts ruling will go something like: The Constitution clearly prohibits someone like Obama from being President, but my last ruling allows such non-citizens to be President as long as enough citizens pay the
penalties taxes to cover the mafeasance. If it was a normal citizen, he or she would have to pay his/her own penalties taxes , but when it comes to the Federal Government, it is the citizens' duty to pay for the crimes being committed against the People.
"Let's talk of eligibility.
Juan Mc C was born on Panamanian soil. Not NBC."
This is based on a strict reading of Minor vs Happerset. Two citizen parents and born on sovereign US soil, so far so good. However, didn't Corsi document in his book that Juan was born on the base at Colon? If true then McLame would have met both criteria.
"Mutt's daddy was born in Mexico. Again Not NBC."
I've seen no evidence (or even suspicion) that Mittens was born anywhere other than in the US nor anything to sustantiate that his father was not at least a citizen at the time of Willard's birth, although George Romney ran into some eligibility flak during his failed presidential look-see, and would've likely faced more, had his try lasted longer. Like him or not, Mitt is constitutionally qualified unless demonstrably proven otherwise, and this is under a strict interpretation via MvH.
"Coincidence? Hardly!"
It does seem a stretch that so many candidates with questionable constitutional bona fides would all end up in the mix within a two-election window.
As recent events once again demonstrate, the Supreme Court is f***ed up. I would not be wanting anything to go before them until we get the loons off the court.
That is the major problem with our courts. They are not aware of the relationship between natural law and a natural citizen. This is a forgotten area of law. Today's judges are only concerned with what some previous court has ruled. Original intent is not even on their radar.
Are his children being threatened as well???? I thought we could trust the Heritage Foundation!
A lot of people have grown up learning that fallacy, and don't actually know the truth. The merely repeat what they've heard. The fallacy that just being born here makes you a "natural" citizen started with Wong Kim Ark. (Which did not use the term "natural born citizen.")
I've so much confidence in the USSC to do the right thing...
No he was not. I have researched this to a reasonable extent and John McCain was born on the U.S. Navy base in Panama, not in Colon. That accusation about him being born in Colon is due to a FAKE McCain birth certificate (cobbled together by some @sshole) claiming such. Please stop repeating this FALSE claim.
Mutt's daddy was born in Mexico. Again Not NBC.
To two American Citizens, which therefore makes George Romney an American citizen, and it makes Mitt Romney the child of two American citizens. Again, Stop with the CRAP!
Coincidence? Hardly!
This is proof of the communist infiltration at the highest levels of the GOP. To run 2 candidates that are ineligible against another ineligible candidate.
Meet the new Boss.
You may want to see a conspiracy behind everything, but there are those of us that Automatically classify any suggestion of a conspiracy as Nut-Burger territory. Now you have two incorrect "facts" upon which you are basing your conspiracy, so you either need to retract your theory, or get some correct facts to back it up.
I'm not saying that there aren't communist minded people attempting to influence American Politics. There are, and they do it overtly. Most of them live in Hollywood and New York. The Selection of McCain and Romney was not the result of some secret conspiracy, it's the result of the other candidates being even worse in some manner or the other. (Except perhaps for the double dealing in Virginia. I think the Virginia Republican party STOLE the election in Virginia for Romney, which had a subsequent domino effect on other states.)
a stretch but his father an, admiral and his mother were both certainly US citizens
As I again hold my nose, I am prepared to vote for Mitt who was born in the US of two US citizen parents
each GOP candidate released all of their supporting documentation ... Obama - not so much
No they didn't. I distinctly remember everything that happened in the Primary election of 2008. Campaigning started in early 2007, and we had a pack of bad candidates. Fred Thompson was the only decent candidate we had, but he didn't bother getting into the race until after everyone else had been campaigning for months. Even then, he didn't put as much effort into it as everyone else already had. I got the impression that he was wanting to be Coronated or something. Everyone else had already secured promises to vote for them by the time Fred got into the race, and there simply weren't enough uncommitted people remaining to give him much support.
Of the remaining candidates, none of them had a widespread national following. They were all regional and niche candidates. Had we picked ANY of the remaining candidates, we would have lost by an even WIDER margin.
I was not happy with John McCain, but of the players on the field, he was the only one that stood any chance of winning at all. I voted for him in the Primary and the General because EVERY BODY ELSE SUCKED WORSE!!!!!!
That's a question that the US courts and their judges do not honestly answer despite numerous Supreme Court cases that give them the natural born citizen definition based on natural law.
That's delusional. The current state of the law is that a person born in the US is Natural Born for purposes of Article II Section 1--you may not like it but that is the current legal rule under the U S Constitution.
What "numerous Supreme Court cases" give a different definition? Miner? The "we hold that . . . " language is mostly dicta--the plaintiff was born in the US so she was a citizen no matter where her parents were citizens--addition of citizen parentage was irrelevant; and the holding is not relevant to the Article II Sec. 1 issue because the argument was not over the eligibility of the plaintiff to hold the office of President.
And, why should citizenship of the parents make a difference? From our point of view, Rubio would make a great President committed to American Constitutional principles of government and the Judeo Christian ethic as a basis for our legal system. And frankly, I think there is a reasonable probability that Zero will ultimately be found to have been born to a multi generational US Citizen father and thus eligible under any any theoretical argument you might want to make about the relevance of citizen parentage.
The reason why place of birth is important is because the government and the head of state of the place a person is born has the power under international law to assert certain kinds of control over the person throughout the course of their life.
A good example is US tax policy. A German national; successful businessman who has earned billions of dollars of income throughout his life; born in the US in 1946 because his father was a prominent anti-Nazi businessman who was significant in connection with post war reconstruction efforts--the father and mother in New York for several weeks in connection with post war financing plans when the birth occurred; the US Government position is that he was liable for US Federal Income Tax on all of his billions of dollars of income throughout his life.
There is further documentary record that kind of issue was the exact reason for use of the NBC term in the Constitution by the founders.
An easy decision for the Court on this issue and correct on the applicable Constitutional legal principles.
Making this argument a centerpiece of our legal effort has hurt our case badly.
An effective lawyer for our side, making the record before the ALJ, would have focused on the place of birth issue. We have rules about evidence--what facts and sources can used to create an evidentary record before a Court or Administration Law Judge.
Whatever the ALJ might rule, the clear evidence is that the image of a Hawaii birth certificate furnished to support the born in Hawaii argument is not a true copy of a certificate of Hawaii birth records but is instead a fraud. That record can be made sufficiently clear to stand up on appeal.
Thus there is only one class of admissible evidence of the place of birth. Statements against interest are admissible as evidence, either because they are not defined as hearsay or because they come in as exceptions to the hearsay rule depending on the status of the person making such statements as a party or interested witness or other factors defined by local law; and further depending on local law as to definition.
Over the years, there is a pretty clear record of statements by Zero that he was born in Kenya. A number of people heard him make those statements--in political coffee hours; in one on one coversation; in public speeches; and he is responsible for publications which attribute the fact of his birth in Kenya to him.
The only legal evidence on the question of where he was born are his own statements against interest.
Now I tend to doubt that he was born in Kenya. But a legal record on appeal on this basis would ultimately put the burden of proof on the question of his place of birth on Zero--in order to defend his eligibility to hold the office, he would need to appear and prove that he was in fact born in the United States which I also tend to doubt that he can do.
In short, effective legal work on this case should have been the key to our success.
Will they seize the moment to slay this beast, or will they slay the Constitution?
Given their recent track record, it could go either way.
I agree with everything you've said in your excellent post, but one line in particular stands out-
"Now, we are in a shambles, facing drought and God only knows what else."
I believe I know what we are facing.
That is the Devil and his Horde, and I do mean that literally. I have learned what communism is. It is relentless Evil. It never stops planning, disguising, entrenching, organizing and executing.
While we sleep, it marches endlessly against us.
I believe that the only people who are not engaged in The March of Hell are those who believe in Jesus Christ, and I mean genuinely believe in Him, not just go to church on Sunday and live otherwise Monday-Saturday.
If a person believes that he/ she must account for the contents of their life upon death, then that person's conscience will not allow them to march in such a fashion.
I believe we have reached the point where only Jesus Christ can save us, and I mean that literally as well.
Oh, the Indiana state Ankeny opinion elevated over the Supreme Court, yes I got it. The current state of law have forsaken original intent. That's not delusional that's a fact. They just make it up as they go or go quack some other erroneous ruling, but that floats both political parties boat so who cares.
The Venus, 12 U.S. (8 Cranch)
Inglis v. Sailors Snug Harbor, (1830)
Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. (1830)
Dred Scott v. Sandford, (1857)
Slaughter-House Cases, (1872)
Minor v. Happersett, (1875)
Elk v. Wilkins, (1884)
United States v. Ward (1890)
Perkins v. Elg, (1939)
Schneider v. Rusk, (1964)
The Supreme Court opinions above whether they are holdings, dicta, or conclusions, taken in totality, make a pretty powerful case, but we know the contemporary courts are blind and mute to them.
Judges today rather act in specious ways promoting administrative and lower court cases to protect Obama, and that's not much difference the way John Roberts did with ObamaCare. It sure floated Roberts' boat.
And, why should citizenship of the parents make a difference? From our point of view, Rubio would make a great President committed to American Constitutional principles of government
American Constitutional principles of government? The man who is obsessed with making illegal aliens legal. The man who is obsessed in pushing his Dream Act. Back in the day, they would have called this a foreign evasion. His "principles" are foreign and counter to the natural born citizen clause's original purpose preventing foreign allegiances.
The reason why place of birth is important is because the government and the head of state of the place a person is born has the power under international law to assert certain kinds of control over the person throughout the course of their life.
When a person is born in a foreign country but has foreign parents does that make him a Natural Born citizen of the country that he was born in, or is he a Natural Born citizen of his parents home country? So you can be a Natural Born citizen of two or more countries at once? It must only be an American thang to have it both and many ways so forget natural law.
The Supreme Court has said people having duel citizenship have an obligation and rights of nationality to both countries. See Kawakita v. US, 1952:
"The concept of dual citizenship recognizes that a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both."
Would Kawakita under the language and intent of the Constitution's Natural Born citizen clause make him eligible for president? So what is the purpose of the NBC clause to the courts? Does the clause have any meaning to you or to these contemporary courts?
A good example is US tax policy. A German national; successful businessman who has earned billions of dollars of income throughout his life; born in the US in 1946 because his father was a prominent anti-Nazi businessman who was significant in connection with post war reconstruction efforts--the father and mother in New York for several weeks in connection with post war financing plans when the birth occurred; the US Government position is that he was liable for US Federal Income Tax on all of his billions of dollars of income throughout his life.
I see courts follow the billions $$. The guy is liable to both countries Germany and US which bring up the next point.
A better example. I have a neighbor who said that his son who is an American citizen, and has American parents, but was born in Germany. The son was called by Germany to duty to do compulsory German military service while he resided in the United States. And I've pointed out in Kawakita v. US 1952, he has a responsibility to Germany. So does that make him a Natural Born citizen of Germany or of the United States? The intent and meaning behind the NBC clause is to prevent to prevent split allegiances for US presidents, but today however, that has been relegated without amendment to the dustbin of history.
Making this argument a centerpiece of our legal effort has hurt our case badly.
I don't make it the centerpiece of the legal argument in current climate of the US judiciary since they go with the winds of political expediency. However, that does not mean I won't point out this obvious folly. I'm not going to remain silent about it. I agree with you that getting Obama on fraud and being born elsewhere leaves little else for the courts to hide behind while they currently protect him.
Have you seen this thread? Many interesting comments. Looks to me as though Roberts is a closeted perv.
Oh, and this one, too.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Removing trees from part of Interstate 385 has reduced the number of crashes and deaths along a stretch of the highway in Laurens County, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
Workers cut down trees within 50 feet of the pavement when part of the highway was rebuilt several years ago, meeting national guidance on keeping the shoulders and medians of highways clear of obstructions.
In the five years before the project, there was an average of about 12 crashes each year where drivers hit trees and six total deaths. In the three years since the trees were removed, there have been an average of three crashes into trees each year and no deaths, according to DOT data given to The Greenville News.
The overall number of crashes per year along the 15-mile rebuilt stretch of I-385 is down 22 percent, according to the agency.
"The data clearly show a significant increase in safety, which is our main goal at SCDOT," said Tony Sheppard, director of traffic engineering. "From six deaths in tree-related crashes to zero during the study period is a dramatic improvement."
The DOT also wants to cut down trees in a 30-mile stretch of the median of Interstate 26 near Charleston. But a number of Lowcountry leaders have fought the plan, saying the trees help keep the highway from looking ugly and that speeding and drunken driving are the problems.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
We cannot answer that question here because it depends what sort of a site you, and any other reader of the forum, is running.
I believe that the pertinent question is "for my type of web site...what sort of CTR should I be hoping for?"
I believe that you have to establish a "base" CTR for your site, then go about improving that by design and optimising against (profitable) key words.
You have to compare your CTR with similar sites, it is not very helpful for you to know some guy is boasting a 30% CTR, if your topic can never achieve that .
Confidentiality. You agree not to disclose Google Confidential Information without Google's prior written consent. "Google Confidential Information" includes (b) click-through rates or other statistics relating to Site performance in the Program provided to you by Google
The full AdSense terms and conditions are here:
[google.com...] and there is some additional information in their FAQ as well.
And cornwall is correct, CTR is going to vary widely depending on a whole host of factors. The same number of impressions can result in completely different CTR depending on the site, content, audience, etc.
i had kind of assumed that because ads very targetted CTRs should be pretty standard, but maybe not.
Cheers for the responses,
IMO what would get 50% CTR would also get you banned by Google
Its a bit like a track race, you can be faster better than the other guys, but if you ran the 1500 metres in 30 seconds, then someone would assume you were cheating...if you ran it in 3 minutes 30 sec then you would be world class
Depending on your site topic, then only x% will ever click on an advert, the skill is in the page design & wording that gets you to that figure. Beyond that you are into diminishing returns on your own time (or you are cheating)
At that point you need to concentrate more on getting a higher unique rate
Do you read every ad you see? Even glance at the title? And after that you would have to click on it :)
<added>And if you're getting 5% I'd be over the moon, do you really want 50% of your visitirs to leave your site anyway? perhaps they like it there! :)</added>
IMO what would get 50% CTR would also get you banned by Google
It seems the higher the CTR you have, the more likely you are to be flagged for possible click fraud. This thread [webmasterworld.com] has some specifics from those who were dropped for "fraudulent activity".
I don't think it is worth the loss of income to try and artificially drive up CTR through any kind of means. I think this is the kind of activity could have a real impact on AdSense publishers who do not employ any kind of tricks to increase CTR.
Except in relative terms. :)
Over the past ten days, my site (which has Adsense on almost all its pages) had page views ranging from 3,500 to 5,000 per day.
The clickthru rate (CTR) varied from X to almost 2X, the average was 1.3X.
The cents-per-click (CPC) varied from Y to 4Y, the average was about 2Y.
I'll also say that my CTR's and CPC's are in the same general ranges as I've seen mentioned here and on other forums.
This info might give others some sense of the variability of the Adsense program in the short term.
My point, don't wait for Google to respond to emails, and hope you never get an email from Google.
>>I just think that Google ads were better than my pages.<<
I think this is maybe just what google is trying to avoid! Though im not saying and doubt very much whether it was the direct cause.
They want their ads to be shown on sites that can stand on their own two feet already, and have some brand already maybe among their own niche markets. Users finding too many of these sites where the ads are better than the content may make Adsense sites branded as similar to highly SEOd "affiliate farms" and everybody (user, advertiser, publisher (in the long run) and Google) would lose...
I think this is maybe just what google is trying to avoid!So a page title with backlinks that has nothing but an adsense ad and a javascript redirect to prevent use of the back button is a bad idea?;)
1) Your readers are in "buy" mode when they are on your site
2) Your site has a low number of page impressions per user, so CTR isn't diluted
3) Adsense has made excellent matches of ads to your content
4) Your site is so horrible that people will click on anything to flee it as quickly as possible
In a former life I had a site getting 12%-24% CTR on DoubleClick CPM banner ads. Needless to say that made us quite a hit with advertisers. Since it was fairly apparent that point #4 was a major factor in this result though, we were substantially less pleased.

There is one, more than any other, who will hear the words of Elie Wiesel on Thursday and see in his mind's eye that same horror and evil that Wiesel saw, who can read Wiesel's gripping book, "Night," and have some of that same fear and terror come washing over him again more than 60 years later.
He would not stand out in any way except for his Hungarian accent. He would blend in with those around him until his past is dissected and what is revealed comes forth.
Tibor Stern is 82. He lives alone at his apartment at 15th and Jackson. His two sons, Charles and Eddie, are grown and have moved. Shirley, his second wife of 21 years, died in 2005. So he plays bridge as much as five times a week.
"If I had money like I have time," he said, "I'd be a billionaire."
Wiesel, author, teacher, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner, will speak to a young generation this week at West Texas A & M University about a generation in their 80s and 90s, a dwindling number of people who have carried their painful past like a permanent scar.
Wiesel speaks and writes for those like Stern, a Hungarian Jew who was forced to dig holes to bury those he worked beside in Nazi Germany.
It never goes away, nor should it. "Never again" is the flicker of this flame, and Wiesel, as much as anyone could, has kept it burning through his books, lectures and appearances.
As a 15-year-old, he and his family were sent to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp and later an Auschwitz sub-camp in 1944. In his 15 months there, Wiesel's mother and sister were believed to have been murdered, and his father died as well.
"I would like to give him a hug," said Stern of Wiesel. "He is quite a man. He's my hero. That is the only word I can think of, a hero. He speaks for me."
Unlike Wiesel, Stern never really knew his family. And unlike Wiesel, he was in a labor camp in World War II Germany, not a concentration camp.
"The difference," Stern said, "is they work you to death instead of gas you to death."
Stern remembers the date - March 15, 1943 - when he had grand plans to flee his orphanage in Hungary for Palestine, to join the British Army and fight Nazis.
"I didn't know how I was going to do it," Stern said, "but, then, I was just 17."
Stern was arrested in Romania, taken to makeshift Gestapo headquarters. He was put on a steel table and beaten, accused of spying, and later sentenced to 90 days in prison for illegal entry. He was sent back to Hungary, but was arrested again at the border in August 1943 and put in prison with 200 other Jews.
"We were sentenced to hard labor for crimes against the state," Stern said. "But if you were a Jew, you were a criminal."
Put on a train boxcar, they were sent to Germany. For nine months, they toiled under the Wehrmacht, the German Armed Forces, and treated humanely. That changed when the 200 were transferred to the SS, the Nazi's notorious intelligence and security wing.
"They hated the Jews," Stern said. "If you couldn't work or you were sick, they shot you."
Stern was part of a labor camp that picked up the dead in Dresden, a city Allied bombs destroyed. They moved on to dig defensive ditches for the impending invasion of the Russians. Work too slowly, or look at the SS the wrong way, and a Jew got a bullet in the brain.
"It's hard to put into words, but it was just the will to live," said Stern. "You wanted to survive, so you did what you were told."
There were only 48 of the original 200 at the end, where the Nazis had them herded in a silo. For three days, they lived on water and ground-up corn for hogs until the Russians liberated them in April 1945. Stern, now 18, weighed all of 88 pounds.
"It was the first time in two years I smile," Stern said. "It's not easy for me even today."
But, like Wiesel, he did survive. Six million other Jews did not, including only 15 of the 200 in his orphanage. For that, he can be thankful.
He left Hungary for a cousin in New York in 1948 in search of a better life. He became a U.S. citizen in 1956, the same year Wiesel did. He learned a trade, how to process rawhide into leather. Stern's company transferred him to Amarillo in 1974, where he continued to work until the company went out of business and he retired, both about the same time.
"I must say," said Stern, "I have had a good life in this country. It is the best in the world. I can not say enough good things about the United States."
That will never be more obvious than when Tibor Stern can hear his hero.

PARIS — France's Commission des Operations de Bourse, the equivalent of the Securities and Exchange Commission, has opened an investigation into the merger of the La Redoute catalog into the Pinault-Printemps retail and distribution group.
The COB described the investigation as "routine," but also said it would look specifically at the trading of La Redoute shares during the weeks just prior to Feb. 18, when the deal was announced to the public.
La Redoute, with $3.2 billion (18.4 billion francs) in sales, is the third largest catalog in the world, offering everything from Karl Lagerfeld peignoirs and Jean Colonna T-shirts to microwave ovens and satellite dishes. La Redoute does business in more than a dozen countries and only the German catalog giants, Group Otto and Quelle, are bigger.
Under particular scrutiny in the La Redoute/Pinault-Printemps merger are the prices of the two groups' shares when the deal was announced. Critics allege that trading of La Redoute shares was manipulated during January and February to make the deal seem more appealing to minority shareholders.
Before the deal was completed, Pinault-Printemps owned 54.36 percent of La Redoute. It now fully owns the company. To complete the deal, La Redoute shareholders received one Pinault-Printemps share for each La Redoute share they owned. Prior to the merger, Pinault-Printemps shareholders received for free an additional Pinault-Printemps share for every 10 they already owned.
The day the deal was announced, trading of both companies' shares was suspended, with Pinault-Printemps shares quoted at $168.64 and La Redoute shares quoted at $162.71.
But it is the performance of Redoute shares during January and February, relative to the value of Pinault-Printemps shares, that is causing concern. La Redoute shares hit a high of $193.96 on Jan. 11, in line with the Paris Bourse, which was hot earlier this year.
Redoute's price, however, began dropping steadily to close at $165.51 the day before the merger was announced.
One analyst said that while it is Pinault-Printemps, and indirectly its shareholders, that will benefit financially from the deal, the structure of the merger is legitimate. In a merger, the boards of both companies must agree to complete the deal, working under the majority approval of their shareholders.
In this case, however, it's important to note that Pinault-Printemps controlled the La Redoute board, given its majority ownership.

Rita Hayworth's Grandson Dead In Suicide: Or Was It?
I knew Andrew Embiricos from the scene.
The 25-year-old grandson of movie legend Rita Hayworth and son of Yasmin Aga Khan and shipping magnate Basil Embiricos, he was a strikingly handsome, personable guy who radiated charm no matter what crisis he was weathering.
He battled HIV and had been in rehab to fight drug addictions.
And now, newyorkpost.com reports that Andrew was found dead, with a plastic bag over his head -- an apparent suicide.
Upcoming Events
Or is that really what happened?
He left no note.
His Facebook comments had recently been cheerful.
He was set to go on a trip to London with a friend.
And his viral load had been way reduced.
Yes, he had tried suicide before, but onlookers felt he'd gotten past that extreme despair.
I'll tell you one thing, though: Andrew was extremely kinky.
Isn't it possible that Andrew was experimenting with autoeroric asphyxiation?
He tried far wilder things just for breakfast.
Whatever the case, I'm deeply saddened by the loss of someone with such radioactive charisma. Put a bag on any negative comments.

Viejas Casino and Resort is a hotel casino and outlet center owned by the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians, located in Alpine, California. The casino has 2,000 slot machines, up to 86 table games, four restaurants, a deli, bingo, an off-track betting facility, lounge, concert venues and a poker room. Opened in March 2013, the hotel has 128 rooms.
In 1932, The Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians purchased the reservation with their share of proceeds from a forced eviction from the area now containing El Capitan Reservoir. The Viejas tribe is one of seven California tribes that signed a modified compact with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger granting unlimited slot machines in return for higher payments to the state.
In 1977, the Viejas Bingo Room opened in the Ma Tar Awa RV Park on the Viejas reservation. The Viejas Casino opened its doors on September 13, 1991. The bingo room was moved inside the casino from the RV resort in 1994. Six years later, a new bingo room was built east of the casino. In 2006 a $19 million project to remodel the casino was completed.[1]
In 2007 the Viejas tribe announced an $800 million expansion project including a second casino, hotel, and parking garage.[2][3] That expansion project was never completed, but as of November 17, 2015, the Viejas Casino and Resort has a newly renovated non-smoking casino area, a 5 story parking garage, and an expanded section of the hotel which was officially opened on October 30, 2015. A poker room is expected to open in early 2016.
On August 31, 2011, the Viejas tribe announced plans to add a 150-room luxury hotel to the casino.[4] Plans were scaled back slightly resulting in a 5 story hotel with 128 rooms consisting of 99 deluxe rooms and 29 luxury suites. The $36 million project broke ground in early 2012 and the building was topped out in November 2012. Hotel construction was completed in March 2013 with the grand opening celebration held on March 21, 2013. Viejas describes the hotel as "modern amenities, streamlined design and handcrafted, boutique feel".[5] The hotel includes a business center, fitness center, and resort style pool with VIP cabanas.
As part of the hotel construction project both east and west entrances to the casino were remodeled and valet parking was moved from the east entrance to the west entrance. Additional valet parking was made available at the hotel entrance when the hotel opened. Bingo was moved into a new 340 seat bingo hall inside the casino and the former bingo hall was razed to make room for the hotel.[6] The east entrance was enlarged and extended to connect the hotel to the casino and the buffet was remodeled and expanded. The buffet is the only restaurant that allows children and persons under the age of 21. Children under 21 are not permitted anywhere else in the casino.
With the hotel opening Viejas was renamed from Viejas Casino to Viejas Casino and Resort. The hotel received the 2013 AAA Four Diamond Award.[7]
On October 30, 2015, the Viejas Casino and Resort held a grand opening event for their expanded hotel and renovated non-smoking casino area.
In February 2013 a Tribal Environmental Impact Report was filed for construction of a 6-story parking structure with capacity for up to 1,000 vehicles to be built on the north side of the casino. The parking garage would provide additional parking for both the casino and hotel.[8] Construction was started in April 2013 and the parking structure opened on November 21, 2013.

Skip to comments.Dirk Nowitzki Eats German Sausage in Bank Commercial, Vegetarians Freak Out (video)
Posted on 01/16/2012 7:14:58 PM PST by nickcarraway
Recently, Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki did an advertisement with Ing-Diba bank in his native home of Germany.
The commercial shows Dirk entering a butchers shop and being offered some wurst sausage from behind the counter.
At first glance, it appears that the advertisement is harmless enough but for some reason, German vegetarians were not pleased with Dirk chowing down on meat:
In the shop an elderly lady behind the counter gives Nowitzki a slice of wurst to sample. A propos of wurst-eating she asks him: What did we always used to say? she asks the 2.13 meter (7-foot) basketball whiz just as he is about to munch his sausage. So you grow big and strong, Nowitzki replies.
First impressions of the ad are that it is folksy and nostalgic. But take a second look and thats when it hits. What is the butcher shop lady giving the player recently voted German Athlete of the Year? Wurst! Dead and ground-up animal! It was enough to unleash a barrage of complaints by vegetarians on the banks Facebook page. The bank responded by appealing to followers to deal with the issue with the greatest possible respect.
So, I guess we still live in a world that an NBA Finals MVP cant eat Wurst sausage in a commercial without someone freaking out:
Thanks nickcarraway. Vegetarian assholes ping.
So they freaked out. So what? Let them shriek.
Gotta be a pseudonym.
I prefer my beef steaks cooked medium rare. That's when they are the juiciest. Nothing is better than eating a good steak across the table from a vegetarian trying to enjoy a chunk of bean curd or textured gluten.
And then there is bacon.
Dirk took a turn for the wurst.
Look folks, those people probably hate blue skies, too. I mean, c'mon! They are probably brain damaged. Brain injury is tragic, but let's not let them dictate public policy or anything like that.
German sausage is pretty good stuff. Tried to smuggle some home with me when rotating back to the states. They believe in _fresh_ sausage, as in, made that morning.
I hear that sacred cows make the best hamburgers.
Eating sausage in a Metzgerei is controversial!!!?
Let me rephrase that - eating sausage anywhere in Germany is controversial!!!?
Germany has turned into one freaky place.
Somebody ought to remind these numbnuts that Schickelgruber was a vegetarian.
It does a body good. Especially with a bit of good Bavarian mustard and a side of red cabbage.
Sounds like the wurst ad of all time!
Sausage and mustard.
Oh yeah.
15 is my limit on Schnitengruben, baby....
Bacon is evil, our own President will not eat it. Something about unclean.....
And then there is bacon.
Or even better - combine the two.
Bacon wrapped fillet...mmmmm.
Opa's Sausage - Fredericksburg TX
This story made me hungry, Texas venison sausage wrapped in applewood smoked bacon.
Dirk could have used more sausage tonight.
Testicular fortitude.
Of course, Fat Khloe probably ate all of the sausage before Dirk had a chance.
these are only sold at Holiday Season from October to New Years
Rice's Country Hams..Mt Juliet TN...best ham sausages I have ever had
Wilson Meats in Crystal Springs MS Hot Hickory Smoked Link Sausage...another standout
Looks like Gorgonzola or Bleu Cheese on top of the filet. At a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse you could have that filet with a heap of jumbo lump crabmeat on top, with Bernaise Sauce over that.
Ooooohh Baby!
With Stilton and on mushrooms. Heaven on a plate!
Why is it your business what others do or don't eat? Hypocritical.
This article is about EATING sausage. What's so hard for you to understand?
ABSURD reply to me, lol.
Get a life!
And what is so "hypocritical" about talking sausage on a post about sausage?? Geezlaweez.
What kind of dervish are you? Dancing, whirling, singing, traveling, what kind besides a non-meat-eater? Is there a sect of vegetarian dervishes?
