Travel Smart 7/8/11
Consumer Reports Money Adviser says plan ahead is so you don't face unnecessary fees or get gouged on the exchange rates. Here's how.
A European vacation - enjoying the sights, dining out, buying souvenirs. But your money will go a lot further if you know what to watch out for. "You can get blindsided by the foreign transaction fee that many credit-card companies charge on overseas purchases. It can add up to as much as three percent of everything you put on the card." But there are cards with no foreign transaction fee, including Capital One, HSBC's Premier World Master Card, the American Express Platinum Card, and Chase Sapphire Preferred card. Be aware that at places like gas stations, your credit card may be rejected, no matter which card you have.171674
Greg Daugherty, "Europe is switching to a new, more secure type of credit card. And American credit cards aren't always accepted. You'll be okay at restaurants and hotels, but you may need to pay cash at gas stations, train stations, and smaller shops." To get local currency, your best strategy is to go to a bank ATM and use your debit card. It's more secure than bringing lots of dollars and you may get a better rate than at a currency exchange service. Greg Daugherty, "Be prepared before you use a European ATM. Most of the keypads don't have letters on them. So be sure to memorize your debit-card PIN as a number before you go."
Finally, it's a good idea to tell your bank where you'll be before you head overseas, so the bank won't suspect your card's been stolen and put a freeze on it.
Another money-saving tip from Consumer Reports Money Adviser, when using a credit card for purchases, be sure the merchant charges you in local currency. If you're charged in dollars, you could end up paying a lot more.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
I meant to post this recipe for Valentine's Day, but it didn't happen! But, better late than never-- these beauties would be delicious any time of the year. I based them on the white bean/oat waffles that I developed for Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes-- low in fat; high in protein, fiber and other nutrients. They also just happen to be gluten-free.
My two 12-year-old granddaughters ate quite a few of these for brunch this last Sunday after a sleep-over at our house. They were quite surprised when I revealed the "secret ingredient", white beans, but that didn't deter them from eating more!
Don't be put off by having to put the beans in water to soak the night before. This takes just minutes before you retire for the night and then, in the morning, the batter is quickly made in the blender while the waffle iron heats up. They can be reheated quickly in a very hot oven for a short time (you just want to crisp and heat them, not dry them out), or in a toaster. Keep some ready-made in the freezer for quick toaster snacks-- they are great eaten out of hand with a little low-sugar jam.
It's best to use a newer nonstick model in order for this no-added-oil recipe to be successful. I use either a Cuisinart Classic Round waffle maker that makes 7" waffles, or a model that makes two 4" square waffles at a time. Do not use a Belgian waffle iron (one with deep depressions that makes thick waffles), or one with very tiny depressions. Just an ordinary "classic" or "traditional" waffle iron! There are various brands that make them.

Bryanna, this looks like a great recipe. I will try these myself and also share this with two gluten sensitive friends.
Btw - I just made your Okara/Miso 'parmesan' sprinkles last night and they were a big hit with an omnivore friend who was over for dinner, so I gave her a jar to take home. Among others, your 'beefy' broth recipe is a regular in my kitchen, both for Soy Curls and for seitan.
Being a big fan of yours, I always refer people to your blog. Thank you for all your work and for sharing. Best regards from Connecticut.

Lovely looking! I will definitely share this with my gluten free friends and readers of my blog. My sister has recently become vegan (and she's GF) and I've already sent her a link to this recipe. Thanks!!!!

Made this at my friend's house as I do not have a waffle iron. The batter broke her blender, it overworked it. I was so embarrassed. The waffles got stuck in the waffle iron and we had a hard time opening it. They stuck to the iron and were quite mangled by the time we finally got them off. We've made vegan waffles in her iron before and they too stuck. Maybe her waffle iron isn't suitable for eggless batter.
The waffles were really really tasty thought and I want to make them again. Perhaps I will use the batter as pancake.

Sorry to hear that, Anonymous. I did caution readers in my recipe about what type of waffle iron to use and I have added some recomendations about blenders, etc.
- Tue Feb 21, 08:00:00 AM PST
The print-friendly version omits the cornmeal, sugar, & flax seed. I just went back to check the recipe as I was planning to try it in the morning. I was wondering why they were "corny" since there was no corn in the recipe I printed out. I expect they will turn out better with the cornmeal, sugar & flax seed than they would have without. ;)

Grrrrr... this was happening with some other recipes and I wrote to PrintFriendly and they said they would fix it! I guess I'm going to have to quite using PrintFiendly. Sorry about that, Christine!

I have given up on PrintFriendly and added a Google Document link at the top of the recipe.

I knew you guys were already thinking 2012 recruiting, so here goes.
Buckeyes already have 3 commits from this list's top 10 (#1 Kalis, #5 Dunn, #9 Ball) and 5 of the top 15. At least five more of the top 10 are likely to be Buckeyes before it's over (McMullen, Bradley, Washington, Ringer, Stanford?) If they can pull Wormley away from Michigan, it could be a sweep of the entire top 10 because Pittman likes OSU too.
They only have about 15 scholarships, maybe one or two more than that.
Like they say, Tressel is selecting more than he is recruiting.

GoingOutGuide Museums
Subscribe: Home Delivery | Digital
Alexander Wu and Sasha Papernik, at American Art Museum, need to iron out partnership, but solo work is crisp.
At American Art Museum on Sunday, the pianist offered a staid program of Mozart, Debussy, Chopin and others.
The museum, housed since 1968 in the Old Patent Office Building (now the Reynolds Center), shares a home with the National Portrait Gallery. One of the biggest changes visitors will encounter is that the two museums don't occupy clearly delineated halves of a single building, as they did before the massive renovation that was completed in 2006, but that they now flip-flop from floor to floor. The Portrait Gallery, for instance, formerly restricted to the south side of the structure, now sits to the east (Seventh Street) on the first floor. On the second it leapfrogs to the west (Ninth Street), while coming around to the south side (F Street) only when you get to the third floor.
Don't worry, say representatives of the two museums' public affairs staffs, the signage will be ample and clear. Look for the nearest wall label. If the subject of the artwork is listed first (e.g., George Washington), with the name of the artist second (e.g., Gilbert Stuart), you're in the Portrait Gallery. The American Art Museum does it the other way around.
This intermingling of spaces, with the division of real estate based on what looks best where, and not an arbitrary slice down the middle of the cake, is part of a newfound spirit of cooperation between the two museums, whose relationship has not always been harmonious. Shared spaces include the 346-seat Nan Tucker McEvoy Auditorium and the Lunder Conservation Center, a new, one-of-a-kind facility that will allow the public to watch conservators do their jobs preserving art behind the windows of state-of-the-art, glassed-in workshops. The museums also have joint use of the enclosed Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard, a year-round gathering spot with an undulating canopy by architect Norman Foster.
The museum also houses the Luce Foundation Center for American Art. This three-floor, library-like "open-storage" facility is unique in Washington in that it will allow visitors, for the first time, to take a behind-the-scenes look at 3,300 works from the museum's vaults that were not chosen for display in the public galleries.

Audi A3 to be first US car with a 4G data connection
Audi has announced that its 2015 A3 Sedan will be the first North American car to come with a built-in 4G LTE connection. The data will come courtesy of AT&T and be available in two plans: a six-month plan with a total of 5GB of data and a 30-month plan with 30GB (no pricing details have been confirmed as yet). All A3s with the connection available will come with a six-month free trial of the tech, however, and an accompanying app will ensure it plays nice with your smartphone – ensuring you don't have to fiddle with your phone while you're behind the wheel.

Sony's new Blu-ray can store up to 1TB of data
Sony and Panasonic have announced the Archival Disc, a next-generation version of Blu-ray that can store 20 times the amount of data: 1TB to a standard Blu-ray's 50GB.
The format, which is designed for professional rather than consumer use, will launch in the summer of 2015. The first available discs will offer 300GB of storage, with 500GB and 1TB versions following later. The discs are write-once and intended for storage use in the likes of film archives and cloud data centres – so don't expect to see a PS4 update adding Archival Disc compatibility any time soon.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game remastered for 30th anniversary
The video game adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of the most famously difficult text-based adventures of all time, but don't take our word for it – the BBC has restored it to life (and added a great deal of spit and polish) for its 30th anniversary, and now you can play it in your web browser.
Like we say, it's difficult and you will die a heck of a lot (so don't forget to save regularly), but it's also incredibly amusing and very, very British. So pull on your tatty dressing gown, make yourself a cuppa and enjoy.

The music composition Izanami (for Alexandra Fol) is from
Vincent Berger Rond - Elle avait raison Hathor (2012) :
an inside voice told me to look for new posting about my album Elle avait Raison Hathor (I rarely do) and then I found this. A real honour to be among so many big names !!
AMN Best of 2012 (So Far)
We are nearly half-way through 2012, and therefore it is a good time to revisit some of the best releases that have come to my attention so far this year. Of course it is important to keep in mind that there are plenty of releases I've yet to hear, so this list is far from comprehensive.
The best so far:
Vincent Berger Rond - Interview for gajoob
It was good to collaborate with you Viveka Eriksson, I am grateful for all the works that we have done together, I am sure you will be happy in your new life :)
I did not remember this collaboration with the guitarist Roger Sundström.
Another movie with a sense of innocence that children tend to censor really fast in their lives (for good and bad reasons). Not a movie you can feel if you only look for the story to follow with an half-dead brain and defensive attitude. One of the best movies I ever saw about a child inner life, hoping you can still access this part of you.
I watched this short animated movie made for Adults many times. I still don't understand the story and most of the visual metaphors either. But I am fascinated by the many dimensions like I rarely am for so long. It is far from being only about the visual and sound dimensions like it is so often the case in most animated movies made by computer technicians (received on my yearly dense Ars Electronica compilation by example : http://www.aec.at/news/).
- Vincent Berger Rond's 10th music collection release is also available on Spectropol Records, on Bandcamp too
One of the most beautiful videos found on this server. Really stands out in its striking emotional force. I have seen this 7 hours movie many times already and connect much with Arvo Pärt's music.

Woman is the n... of the world is a song that is god awful. First of all, who is john Lennon? and what gives him the right to use the N-word? That song is disrespectful to black and it's not cool. I know it's a methaphor but it's racist and it's weak.
What if John said "Klein is a money, hungry ki$% of the world" or "Paul is the Irish drunk of the world"..or Yoko is the n%$ of thew world"...It's just lazy song-writing and horrid lyrically ,too.
I'd like to see how Lennon was able to record that song with some of the brothers who were in Elephants memory. Man, they should have went upside his head for that insult man. I'd like to see somebody like Deacon Jones or James Brown give John a little reality check on how some of the homies feel about the N-word. [:(!]
There is no truth that Snoop dog is going to re-make "Woman is the ni...of the world" with his boyz. [;)]

Information related to the Band activities will be posted soon.
Welcome to DSU from the Choral Director
I am excited to know that you are interested in choral music at Delaware State University!
Welcome to our celebration of many wonderful years of great choral singing. The unique aspect of the Delaware State University Choral Program is the intertwining of many musical styles, presenting them with great distinction, precision and heart. We seek to meld together classical, gospel, sacred and secular classics, spirituals, and vocal jazz styles into a unique musical tapestry. We are proud of this diversity and we celebrate it.
An audition (or interview) is required in order to participate in the choral ensembles. The audition/interview is a simple one, and most (though not all) who attempt it are successful.
Whether you are planning to major in music or simply want to participate in the various choral ensembles available on campus, we are confident that your experiences will be rewarding.
I look forward to meeting you!Dr. Lloyd Mallory, musical director
Audition Information
Audition Procedures
There are two categories of auditioning for the choral program at Delaware State University. The first category is vocal music majors/minors and the second category is non-music majors/minors. All students will audition with the choral director. Those students who are vocal music majors/minors will audition for the music faculty as well. Auditions take place during the first week of every semester. You may also contact the Office of Choral Activities [1] at 302.857.7399 to schedule your audition time. Vocal/Choral scholarships are available to all students regardless of major/minor.For scholarship consideration, regardless of major/minor: Students should prepare to perform two vocal selections of contrasting character (If you have been taking private voice lessons, you might want to bring a repertoire list at the time of the audition). It is suggested that you select repertoire that best demonstrates your vocal range, quality and musicality. (Please do not bring choral music to perform, unless you are singing a solo from a larger work.) An accompanist will be provided. You will have time to prepare and practice prior to your audition. The choral director and music faculty will be present for your audition. Scholarship funds are limited and are first come, first served.

US Paralympic Athletes Fight For Silver And Bronze In Brazil
A USA Judo team of visually impaired athletes is bringing home a silver and bronze medal from the 2013 International Grand Prix Infraero Judo held this weekend in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Coaching the team was Brad Daniels of Judan Judo in Portland, Indiana. The three judoka competing were Paralympian Ron Hawthorne (USA Judo Training Site, Olympic Training Center, CO), Josh Farra, (Liberty Bell and Georgian Judo Academy, Coatesville, PA), and Angie Moran (Washington Judo/Georgetown University, Brandywine, MD).
USA Judo strives to provide visually impaired athletes with the same opportunities as fully-sighted athletes. A silver and bronze medal from the Paralympic Games in London last summer demonstrate success.
Josh Farra had a very good day, said coach Daniels. "His first match was against an awkward fighter and after he figured him out, he threw him with a powerful drop seoinage for ippon. In the semis he attempted a koshi guruma which didn't score but lead to a kesa gatame pin for the win."
In the finals, Farra attacked repeatedly but couldn't land a score. Then his opponent threw Farra for yuko and then ippon with a drop seoinage. "He ended up with the silver medal which was a big confidence booster," said Daniels. "A little confidence goes a long way."
The team will attend a raining camp until May 3.
Hawthorne fought at 60 kg. in a nine-man pool. His first match was against the eventual champion. Hawthorne was caught in hadaka jime and forced to submit, landing him in repechage fighting for bronze. "He threw his second opponent with sasae tsurikomi ashi for ippon," coach Daniels said.
Hawthorne's third round was a battle that lasted 15 minutes in real time after the referees had several discussions about applying new rules, Daniels said. "Ron threw his opponent for yuko with seoi nage then he was thrown for yuko with harai goshi. They grip fought several exchanges until Ron countered a kouchi gari for wazari. Another kouchi gari counter for wazari earned him the victory."
In the bronze medal match, Hawthorne landed "a beautiful uchi mata sukashi for ippon and a spot on the podium," Daniels said. "The best part was that Ron worked through his frustration and disappointment in losing and showed the heart and desire of a champion."
Also fighting was Angela Moran in 52 kg. division. She normally plays at 48 kg and the weight difference proved daunting, said Daniels. She fought very hard but went 0-4 in a round robin pool.

Hot Time, Summer in the Trophy SeriesRacking up points in the 2012 Trail Runner Trophy Series Presented by GORE-TEX
With a little over four months left in the 2012 Trail Runner Trophy Series, we've tallied points from 42 race results (received by June 7).
Leading the men's Ultra Division is Jeremy Bradford of Denver, Colorado, who most recently completed the Rocky Mountain Double Marathon in Laramie, Wyoming, on July 27. Despite relentless wind, Bradford says it was an enjoyable day. Due to the multiple-out-and-back format of the course Bradford was able to see and cheer on his wife (who was running her first marathon), other friends and racers.
His win, though, was a surprise. "Looking at past performances for that course, I really did not expect to place so well," says Bradford, who clocked the 12th fastest time in history on the course, 8:19:05.
"In the first out-and-back, at least 15 people were ahead of me. I was shocked to find out that everyone ahead was actually in the marathon. From that point on, it was all I could do to hang on to first. Second place was gaining on me considerably in the last 13 miles." The second place finisher finished than five minutes back.
Next up in the series for Bradford? South Dakota's Black Hills 100 Mile on June 23.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (614 votes).
Date of review: March 31, 2011
In short: Great funDate of review: March 26, 2011
In short: Amazing support from people and great overall organisationIn full: This was a great race as it had a great mix of running through town and also running in the country. The support from the people who came to watch was amazing and made a huge difference to the atmsphere!The organisation was brilliant and clear in terms of what you had to do and where you had to go.This was a great race and one to remember for a long time!Date of review: March 24, 2011
In short: Good race, well organised, great support. Date of review: March 23, 2011
In short: Running through the High Street, twice, was very special In full: Good first half, and ending to the race. The countryside part was lethal though. Maybe because I was running with a dodgy back which pretty much marred the whole event....one part felt like a never-ending incline. But hey, it was good - maybe back next year if my back problem doesn't stop me running altogether....Date of review: March 23, 2011
In short: Excellent well organised and supported raceIn full: Really enjoyed this race (and not just because of another PB). Support through town was excellent and very uplifting. Even that hill 1/2 mile from the end didn't dampen spirits as flying down the other side was a fun way to finish. Well organised and easy to get to and, importantly, away from after the race. Would recommend this event to anyone and will be back next year.Date of review: March 23, 2011
In short: Well organised, but tougher than it looks!In full: Really well organised race. Congested start, but that probably can't be helped. Interesting through town, and then pretty through the countryside (save for when going over the M3!) A fair mix of speeds - speedy winners, but I came in at 2 hours 20, and there were still another 1000 behind me, so I didn't feel too bad. The organisers could have done without the bunch of minging male runners having a pee in the locals gardens though - there were loads of portaloos, so no need - and it just gives the rest of us runners a bad name!!Date of review: March 23, 2011
In short: Well organised and supported. New location of the start was an improvement, although some tight turns and a bit congested during the loop round the houses. Finish was well organised, with medals, water and bananas being given out. Date of review: March 23, 2011
In short: First DNF for me.In full: Not my day for this one, and jacked it in after the first loop (just too tempting). Scenary not the best, at least around Fleet town. Would probably have enjoyed the loop out into the country mor.The start was congested - not the organisers fault, just the usual hopefuls pushing to the front and ignoring the timing banners, though after 2 surges before the start I think Id moved from 1:40 to 1:15 in the crowd. Lots of turns in the first 2 miles, combined with slow runners made it difficult to hit a steady pace.Would probably come back next year for another crack as its local, but wish Id gone to Hastings. (Its better, honest)Date of review: March 23, 2011

Physical Description
Sphyraena barracuda is a long silvery fish with two widely separate dorsal fins, characteristic of its family, Sphyraenidae.They have large scales and a pointed head with a large mouth and long knife-like teeth (Lieske and Myers 1999).Great barracuda have a large gape (Paterson 2000). They can reach up to 2 meters in length (Grosvenor 1978). Many fisherman used to think that barracudas were closely related to pikes because of the similarity in their body form. Sphyraena barracuda has a lower jaw projecting which is helpful in biting. They are a grayish brown above and silvery below which is quite universal throughout their geographic range. They often have dark ink-like spots that are arranged in no pattern on their sides. The young have dark crossbars on their backs and blotches on their sides. The young also have a soft dorsal fin and the anal and caudal fins can be blackish (Beebe and Tee-Van 1933). Males and females are indistinguishable to humans (Paterson 2000).

Skip to comments.U.S. city looks to penalize Bible believers
Posted on 07/25/2013 7:04:15 AM PDT by GailA
Think its hot in Texas these days? Just wait a few weeks, until the San Antonio City Council ends its summer hiatus and resumes work on a proposed change to its nondiscrimination ordinances that apparently will discriminate against all who take the Bible at its word and follow it.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
This is an infringement of 1st Amendment rights.
This crap is supported and pushed by the mayor of San Antonio, Julian Castro.
This is a clear violation of the First Amendment. The entire city council needs to be arrested and tried for violating the Constitutional rights of Americans living there.
Commie Castro Ping.
* Four Fried Chickens and a Coke *
Good tagline!
We've lost America, folks. Without faith, without God, without Christianity and the Judeo-Christian ethic upon which we were founded, America is gone.
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. -John 15:18
This "ordinance" will apply to Muzzies and their Koran also, right? I didn't think so. COWARDS!
Why, if they did that, then the peaceful Mohammedans would riot.
Its a shame we have to waste money better spent elsewhere to take such people to court , but alas that appears to be the only way to INFORM them of our Inalienable RIGHTS.
Jay Sekulow will doubtless be discussing this issue on air in the next few days.
I had no idea that Texas had that many Godless dope smoking "liberals"
Boy, this makes me feel better that the Spurs lost.
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. -John 15:18
These words occurred to me as well.
Thank you.
Does he have Lion breeding program ?
Julian Castro, isn't he the d-head that spoke at last year's Rat convention? Figures.
If the world hates you, you are doing it right.
San Antonio is full of liberals. Outside of a few of the largest cities, we are very conservative, including many Hispanics (most that I know espouse conservative beliefs). It's easier to get your gubmint bennies when you are where the welfare offices are.
Not surprising at all. I truly believe God is going to start separating the Wheat from the Chaff. I believe since Christians here in this nation had it good unlike their brothers and sisters in other nation where they are physically persecuted. I believe this is just the beginning things will get worse. It will get to a point that this nation will no longer be a safe haven for Christians and Jews, yes even if they are liberals. The Liberals Christians will have to decide whose side will they on. STAY STRONG BROTHERS & SISTERS, GOD WILL PREVAIL!!!
Each council member who votes in favor of this ordinance demonstrates by both word and deed a bias on the basis of religion against anyone who opposes homosexuality for religious reasons. Acts of discrimination by elected officials conveniently are outside the scope of this ordinance.
When does CWII start?
Yep, San Antonio, west to Castroville and North to Austin is a one party, Liberal Democrat Zone of despair. Somewhat like the City of Houston; elections are altogether pointless.
The State legislature needs to take the route that other states are pursuing that forbid any political subdivision from enacting these contrived non-discrimination ordinances that are not mirrored by the state. I think Kansas is one of them.
No, it is full of Hispanics. And Hispanics only look for the "D" on their ballot like good little drones, and so get the Party of Perversion when they vote.
"...nor prohibit the free exercise thereof."
If there is more than one involved, then prima facie, this is a conspiracy to deprive a group of a fundamental Civil Right, and is actionable civilly and criminally under the United States Code.
To quote WKRP:
They should "be sued into the very fires of Hell"
Our High School allowed prayer meetings before school in one of the home rooms.
When they forcibly try to take our kids.
"And Hispanics only look for the "D" on their ballot like good little drones"
Pardon me, sir-I am Hispanic, and neither a liberal or a drone, nor is anyone in my family, or any other people of Hispanic ancestry of my acquaintance. Generalizing about, and labeling people by ethnicity is really not something I expect to see at a conservative site-leave that to people like the Chavez wannabe mayor of SA and his mother, who brought him up like that....
Please read TStro's post-it is absolutely correct. SA is surrounded by conservative counties and small communities-it is no different from Austin(gag) or any other major city-liberals of all kinds live there like flocks of those noisy Grackles-they are totally helpless away from their services and stuff. And most of the liberals I've known were/are Anglo/WASP...
You are correct-lawsuits are a good thing in this case-the more the better to suck away the city's revenue-I lived in SA for many years, and lawsuits and the resulting loss of money are the only things they understand.
I did imply in general, and yes, overwhelmingly, Hispanics vote for the "D" candidate. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a raving liberal like Castro in the mayor's office.
They seem to populate the large cities, not the rural ones. It's the same here in TN. Nashville and Memphis are the most dem, liberal controlled cities in the state and both are high crime, high taxes. No way the minority which is white can vote out bad elected officials, in many districts all that run are dems, gutless old party won't waste a dime to fight for those districts, they know it's a lost cause.
Which is why we moved out of Shelby Co and into Tipton, car ins. house, etc went down, along with taxes. Just a 22 mile move. Now in a GOP district. And ya know what our neighbors are all colors and they fled the cesspit long before we did. All are very friendly and helpful so far.
most of what this administration is doing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and cities and states are following in their foot prints.
We are seeing signs of the Last Days with each new attack on Christians. We had better keep prayed up, read up, and informed.
I've read the fiction Bible based Left Behind series, and it follows a lot of what is happening in the world now to a T.
One day God will tell Gabe to blow the Rapture horn and those that are His will rise both the living and the dead, gone in the blink of His eye. Then follows the Tribulation period of 7 years, and Bowl judgements. When it is finished Jesus will bind satan for a 1,000 yrs in Hades. But between the sounding of the Horn and the 7 years of Tribulation and judgements comes much pain, death and suffering for believers who turn to GOD to after the Rapture.
LIBERAL Christians will be LEFT BEHIND, as they do not follow GOD's word which is un-changable. Two will be standing side by side, both confess to be Christians, only the true Christian will be taken, the other will not.
Interesting this comes out as Holder is coming after Texas on voting issues. If the libs can remove their opponents from government, it'll make things that much easier for Holder and his crew to inflict their will on us.
I lived in the burbs of SA whenever not traveling with the military from 1970 until 2002. The anglo liberal bunch in SA has been around since the 70's and the old GGL, buying votes and electing raving loon mayors and council members-I remember them because as soon as Carter got into office, they went wild with doubling utility bills and saying how good for the environment it was.
My husband didn't have much rank then, we had a little kid, and were not long out of college, with our first house-we didn't see it that way. That was when I decided I was returning to the country come hell or high water. I was not brought up to live on a reservation.
The area we lived in had a repub councilman once-Ed Garza-he became mayor, but he turned out to be a rino.
The only Hispanic liberal I took note of before the last 20 years was a councilman named Bernardo Eureste, who got into a hilarious scandal involving a young female staffer-he was married-a tryst in his Volvo in a dark part of Breckenridge park, and him being chased around the park in his underwear by a couple of guys who surprised him en flagrante. The cops came and saw most of it, then the news stations got ahold of it and the jokes wrote themselves for months...
"liberals of all kinds live there like flocks of those noisy Grackles"
Good analogy! You know what Grackles are noted for, beside noise? They shit on everything.
Thanks-you can't get away from Grackles in cities-even in the burbs where we lived they would congregate in the trees in the evening, squawking and chattering-and making a mess on any vehicle you left near a tree. You never see them out here, fortunately.
Since Grackles are Canadian birds, why are they even here-isn't it too hot?
"Since Grackles are Canadian birds, why are they even here-isnt it too hot?"
Grackles are tough migratory birds that range all the way down into Mexico. Heat does not seem to bother them at all. I often see thousands of them roosting at dusk in Houston. They are a plague. For those that don't know, Grackles are very aggressive birds and unafraid of humans, much more so than crows. I consider them the "Amish" of the avian world.
fer later
No, that was Jake. Elwood liked dry, white toast! lol
like in Memphis they vote for the person who has the same skin color as theirs or as you said a D after their names. Only exception is when a black conservative runs and they can't be elected.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (25 votes).
In short: Muddy but rewarding experience. This was certainly longer than the 10km advertisedIn full: Huge queue for the toilets at the beginning was the only thing that spoiled it for me so in the end opted for the woods like many others. No waterstation either until the end. Would do it again and i'll bring some XC trainers next time !Date of review: December 28, 2004
In short: Leave your watch at home, because the laps are more like 6km, making time irrelevant. Also, watch out for the big hill right at the end, when you're already starting to realise that you've already run at least 5.5km!In full: Lovely atmosphere. Starters megaphone really could do with batteries, or just someone with a loud voice (anyone here the prize giving announcement? No? Neither did the prize winners!!!). A lot of beginners, but a lovely atmosphere, supportative and friendly. And they didn't run out of water this year either! Infact, they had so much left over they were deseperately trying to get rid of it, which is impressive compared to most similar races. Date of review: December 28, 2004
In short: Better event than my individual scores probably suggest - very enjoyable!In full: Nice surroundings and great crowd, both running and supporting. Check lap distance (closer to 6km than 5) and watch for small hill at the end (feels bigger after 2 laps!). Bring spare batteries for starter's megaphone.Date of review: December 28, 2004
In short: Entered expecting a Multi Terrain mud fest, very disappointed! Flat metalled road mixed with firm bridle -path.Date of review: December 28, 2004
In short: What a great run!In full: What more could you ask for? Sun, lovley clappy spectators, great atmosphere, lots of wildlife toodling along...all made for a lovely run! My first ever and I must say I enjoyed every bit of it!Date of review: December 28, 2004

What is the pizza stone size?
MightyPizzaOven,Can you post a photo of your grill with the unbaked pizza being placed on it? Thanks.TomN
Do you have a price figured out yet for the mighty pizza oven?
I didn't think about numbering them... That would of been a nice touch. Bob, definitely you have top priority, including any member of this forum. Actually, few members have already asked to reserve one from my first order of 100 ovens. I should have them by the end of the month, I hope.If anyone interested, please send me an pm by May 15. I need to know before I submit my project to Kickstarter.
I commission you to stamp yours with # 1 ... How about that.
MightyPizzaOven,Thank you for the photo of the grill. i am looking into a Weber Grill that is specifically made for pizza. It has it's own round pizza stone built right in. I have seen photos of the grill on the forum, but i have yet to see any photos of the finished pizza? Also, i do not see any comments of either the positive or negative. it looks like the Weber pizza grill would be great, but i need more feedback before investing. Thanks again.TomN
Nick,What is "whf"?Peter
CrAzY dough....looks damn good Bert!
How do you think your formula would work in a electric oven? Mine goes to 550 or so, and I use a stone. I like the idea of having whf in the skin, mainly for the healthier aspect. Was it crispy with a light bite, or was it dense and very chewy? Your pies looked fabulous, and I would think the combinations of the flours would make for a tasty crust.
Definitely Chau... but how could you overlook Norma, the unmatched Queen of Experimental Dough?

Topic: Using a variable in an Array.select statement
this seems like such a simple thing to do but i can't get it to work.
new_array = %w{"first_entry" "second_entry"}
puts new_array.select {|v| v=~ /entry/}
This will select and print all entries in my array that contain the string "entry".
But now I need to use a variable to search the array and i can't get it to work because it seems that a select statement is looking for a regular expression only.
I tried a few variations of the following but can't get it to work:
search_variable = "entry"
new_array = %w{"first_entry" "second_entry"}
puts new_array.select {|v| v=~ /"#{search_variable}"/}
can someone please show me what I'm doing wrong?

Long Waits, Luck Can Get You In These Clubs
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. ( MainStreet) -- For anyone who hasn't been in a nightclub since Studio 54 or The Limelight, a visit to any number of new bars or nightclubs popping up from New York to Los Angeles wouldn't look all that different from back in the day -- at least from the outside.
At many of these new clubs, you'll have a long time to contemplate that -- as you wait in line to get in.
|After becoming the most exclusive nightclub in Southeast Europe, The Bamboo nightclub is making its way to Miami Beach via Bucharest.
Take Le Baron , widely considered to be one of the world's top nightlife brands. Owner Andre Sariva recently debuted an eagerly awaited New York installment of his original Paris nightclub (there's also an outpost in Tokyo and pop-up locations that trail the elite from Art Basel Miami Beach to Cannes). In late January the proprietor, also the man behind New York's Le Bain atop the Standard Hotel New York, opened the starry Le Baron along Mulberry Street in New York's Chinatown.
A two-year wait sprinkled with endless press and speculation resulted in a mob scene outside the club's opening (with a doorman wearing a full plush bunny suit dealing with the ambitious 2 a.m. insiders). Le Baron attracts a well-off bohemian elite and their scruffy graffiti-artist friends in a nightly ritual reminiscent of a modern-day court of Versailles alit in impromptu performances by rock groups such as MGMT and Dita Von Teese.
Leave it to Chicago's most famous chef, Grant Achatz, to create one of the most novel nightlife concepts in the country as a cocktail cousin of his Next Restaurant. The Aviary puts white-glove service on the quintessential cocktail bar, coupled with an ingenious small-plates menu by Chef Craig Schoettler. A staff of dapper bartenders assembles a menu of molecular-inspired cocktails derived from "produce and herbs carefully sourced and procured fresh daily."
Even with its more grown-up appeal, don't expect The Aviary to be free of lines. Would-be spirits seekers descend on the bar from 6 p.m. to score one of its first-come, first-served tables, and the line wraps around the block on busier nights. A limited number of daily reservations are available via email, but limited same-day notice via cellphone makes it just as easy to do in person. Inside you can book the Kitchen Table for a 10-course cocktail tasting menu and paired edible bites for $165 per person that may even include a summons to The Office (the basement VIP lounge that's strictly invitation only).
In Miami, nightlife is an insider's game, with proprietors and promoters keeping a tight rein over the hottest venues and club nights. This year, however, an invasion is coming from an unlikely place: Romania's most exclusive club brand is taking over the former Paris Theatre in South Beach to create a nightlife spectacle that's part show and part VIP ultra lounge. To understand Bamboo Club Miami one must look at the original Bamboo, in Bucharest -- one of the most exclusive dance clubs in Southeast Europe, evolving to include a private members' destination a la Soho House with summertime pool club, affiliated fitness center and glittery following.

Skip to comments.Politics as Usual? A Glenn Beck case study(Video-Murtha Watch)
Posted on 11/19/2009 4:58:27 PM PST by smoothsailing

(Excerpt) Read more at video.foxnews.com ...
Murtha Watch Ping!!!
Its disgusting that one "man" can abuse power like that right there on the floor of the house.
If you missed this on the tube you should see the video.
To be added to the Murtha Watch ping list please notify me.
Here's hoping Glenn Beck stays on top of the corrupt Murtha.
I'd love to see Fat Jack's face and the veins popping out on it when he sees that segment.
I happened to catch that segment today. It was really good.
Sen. John Murtha should be tried for treason, in my opinion.
It was a good segment by Beck, and hopefully he will followup with more!
(image credit-RedRover)
I'm waiting for the day, as you are too. :-)
Murtha's latest cut and run scheme.....
Yep, Murtha's got it all figured out.
It's fine with him to raise taxes to pay for this awful war because the money going to it now is cutting into his pork projects through earmarks and no bid contracts.
Like you say, it's just another scam to get backing for his cut and run.
Nope, they'd rather get everybody riled up at the military and the job our troops are doing.
Can you imagine them coming out openly like this with a plan to raise income tax rates to pay for nationalized health care.LOL!
Of course not, but blame our economic woes on what it costs to feed the Army, hey, there's the ticket.
Murtha and the Dems, what a bunch of sorry excuses for Americans they are.
Great footage.
Does LTC Russell have this for his campaign against Murtha?
Yes, I e-mailed it to him just before I posted this thread.
I hope he uses it, maybe link to it on his website.
On the laptop now but I will watch it tomorrow. I truly hate Murtha!
Boy have you got that right, they'd be saying goodbye to their political careers. LOL!
I'm turning out the lights, buddy, maybe we can do something with that AFP article tomorrow....
G'Night! :-)
Sounds good, talk atcha tomorrow.
I was in the dentist chair when this segment came on Glenn last night. I was beside myself wanting to hear what was being said. The doc and I stopped to watch, but the sound wasn't up.
Y'all know what I think of John al-Murthawi, so no further comment is necessary.
I imagine the sound didn't have to be on for your Dentist to get and earful. :-)
CQ Politics has a short piece on it too.
BTW, he "did not vote for THIS healthcare..."
He has 3 children in college...all in one form of medicine or another. He is NOT happy with what is going on. Huge practice with LOTS of employees and they all seem to feel the same way.
We have never talked politics until last night. I told him I was soooo relieved to hear what he was saying, because after 25 years I would hate to leave his practice. He laughed and gave me a hug. ;*)
ROFLOL! I knew you'd get your message across to him. :-)
Sounds like you have a darn good dentist. Being he has 3 kids in college and a practice of his own I can understand his attitude toward the RATS health care.
My Sisters husband is a retired surgeon and they're both rabid about what's taking place with this proposed obamacare.

Luke called this morning to give me an update�and perhaps get some encouragement. It was time for him to get on his bike but�he was having a little trouble getting�motivated to get started. �He had stayed overnight in Bigfork Montana which he said was supposed to be just a�quarter mile�off the route, he ended up rolling 2 miles downhill and was going to have to climb 2 miles this morning ot get back on the route. ��He said he looking forward to the seventh day when Tour Divide veterans have told him that all the pain�and suffering will just fade into the background.
He has no specific pains or aches which is�good, just a general ache and a fatigue setting in. It seems maintaining�energy may be one of the biggest challenges
he's facing. He told a story illustrating the problem.
Luke went to a subway one might after riding 130 miles�and was waiting in line when he began to feel faint�and sick. He went its the gas station Connected�to the Subway and filled a cup with ice and�tried to drink from the cup. the was unsure�why no Soda was coming from the empty�Cup So he started to leave. The cashier was�yelling at him to come back and pay for the�soda he replied, "what soda," than saw the�cup of ice in his hard and was like, "oh I forgot�to fill the cup." �I told him he should think about maybe�taking the effort down a notch.
From the way Luke describes his interaction with�the others riding I'm reminded of a rolling brotherhood. �No secret identification handshake is needed for this society, the heavily loaded bikes and dazed appearance on the riders face is all that is�necessary�to claim membership. �Luke�said, "All these people are batshit crazy." And I'm�thinking, you're right there with them, in fact you're in front of most of them. �
Luke commented that if he doesn't finish this year he'll try again when he's 50. �He was amazed how many old guys there were out there in fact he said, "These 50 year old guys are insane, they never quit riding."
Luke commented on how useful the GPS was in navigating the route. �This is very releaving to me because I helped him set the GPS with maps and routes and whatnot. �I was pretty sure I did it right, but well… I didn't want to be held liable if it navigated him off a cliff. �After losing his GPS a couple of times during his pre Tour rides Coach Eli recommended tying the unit to the bike for extra insurance. �After a long descent yesterday he looked down and saw his GPS was gone from its mount, but was luckily hanging from its string. �THANKS COACH!

I had locs from December 2008 until July 2012. Then, after agonizing over my decision for about 30 seconds, I cut off all my hair with a pair of scissors.
change and commitment by Amy at Grrrl Revolution
"This decision has been a lesson in commitment and going all in. Eventually I had to stop wondering and criticizing myself, and instead take action. We cannot make change – be it personal or social – if we don't commit. And sometimes commitment looks like a pair of clippers."
When I cut off my locs over the summer, my hair was wet and deliciously curly from having washed it. It wasn't just the length I adored, but the way it looked. I love curls – especially if they're loose and make an excellent wash and go.
But it wasn't long before I discovered what my hair was really like, though still soft my dried hair just looked like a puff ball. Almost immediately after cutting my locs – which weren't looking all that great from lack of care anyway – I wore a hat. Even days after, I began to fret, being forced to deal with my frizzy and non-curly hair. But it was more than that – my hair was not wash and go.
As someone who seeks to create a life of bare minimum physical upkeep, not only did this completely dampen my mood, but it highlighted that I just didn't have the type of hair that I wanted. Even when I saw other black women with natural hair, theirs was long, flowing, curly, beautiful.
I kept wondering what the fuck? How come my hair isn't what I want!?
Then, last week, I discovered hair types and being able to give a name to my hair (and by extension, experiences) has given me the language to figure out WHY I never liked my hair.
At first, when my hair was longer (shoulder length), I still hadn't known what to do with it. I wore a pony-tail throughout high school, stopping to get my hair permed once or twice. In college, I wore a silk headscarf for almost a year – with the occasional perm – before adopting locs that suffered from great neglect almost from the day I got them.
But now I know.
So now I have to make a decision: do I keep my hair super short so that I never have to worry about styling my hair or grow it out and figure out how to take care of it?
Honestly – I'm not sure. But not that I have more information about my hair type, I can make a more informed decision about what kind of relationship I want with it.

Skip to comments.In Hawaii in 1961, there were three different birth certificates
Posted on 05/12/2009 11:46:25 AM PDT by cycle of discernment
Townhall.com May 12, 2009
Generally, folks don't know that Hawaii law, even in 1961, provided for multiple kinds of birth records, most of which are not what people think of when they think of birth certificates. The following is a description of those, including certificates for people not born in Hawaii. Go figure!
1. In the State of Hawaii, back in 1961, there were three different birth certificates that were obtainable: a. If the birth was attended by a physician or mid wife, the attending medical professional was required to certify to the Department of Health the facts of the birth date, location, parents identities and other information. (See Section 57-8 & 9 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961). b. In 1961, if a person was born in Hawaii but not attended by a physician or mid wife, then, up to the first birthday of the child, an adult could, upon testimony, file a Delayed Certificate, which required endorsement on the Delayed Certificate of a summary statement of the evidence submitted in support of the acceptance for delayed filing, which evidence must be kept in a special permanent file. The statute provided that the probative value of the Delayed Certificate must be determined by the judicial or administrative body or official before whom the certificate is offered as evidence. (See Section 57-18, 19 & 20 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961). c. If a child born in Hawaii, for whom no physician or mid wife filed a certificate of live birth, and for whom no Delayed Certificate was filed before the first birthday, then a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth could be issued upon testimony of an adult including the subject person) if the Lieutenant Governor was satisfied that a person was born in Hawaii, provided that the person had attained the age of one year. (See Section 57-40 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961).
2. In 1982, the vital records law was amended to create a fourth kind of birth certificate for children born outside of the Territory or State of Hawaii. HRS Chapter 338 was amended to add a new section authorizing the Director of the Department of Health to issue a birth certificate for a person NOT born in Hawaii either as a Territory or State, upon sufficient proof that the legal parents of such individual had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth of such child.
3. The language of the statute clearly applies to births in the days of the Territory of Hawaii, so also births in 1961.
4. A press release concerning numerous questions raised across the country as to whether or not Obama was a natural born citizen was issued on October 31, 2008 by the Hawaii Department of Health by its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino.
5. In that very carefully worded press release, Dr. Fukino said that she had personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obamas original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
6. The intentional ambiguity of that statement raises more questions that it answered.
7. That statement failed to resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation across the country over the issue of Obamas birth and qualifications for the office of the President of the United States, including: a. The specific type of certificate was not identified. Could it be the certificate for someone born outside of the State of Hawaii? b. Being on record could mean either that its contents are in the computer database of the department or an actual vault original. If the latter, those are the words used to describe what is there. The data base record could have been entered based on a birth record for someone born outside of Hawaii. c. Therefore, the value as prima facie evidence is limited and easily overcome if any of the allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained and verified with a Court Order.
8. It should also be noted that in the face of all this litigation, the simple presentation of Obamas vault birth records would put the questions to rest.
9. Obama has not taken this approach to a single one of the cases, but instead has hired legal counsel across the country at no small expense to defend the claims with motions to dismiss on standing and similar procedural grounds.
10. Such response to the request for proof that he is qualified to serve as President of the United States of America only serves to raise more questions about this election.
I hope this issue continues to hound him until we get resolution on it.
Well, once 0's handlers tire of him they'll likely dig it up.
Maybe the GM bondholders can sue to see his birth certificate. One would think that since they are being damaged financially that the suit couldn't be thrown out for lack of standing or whatever that legal term is.
I have no idea what a "long form" even looks like compared to the COB.
Actually, O should be wearing a RED diaper.
Mine is in my home safe and is required when I apply for a job or go to school.
This has always been a bugaboo for me and illegals going to school or work. My daughter had to produce hers and her shot record and SS#. How can an illegal waltz into a school and not a word be said?
Just like Animal Farm, some pigs are more equal than others.
What people should do is continue to sue. Force Bambi's attorneys to spend spend spend on defending this.
That's what Reagan would have done. He bankrupted the Soviets and we all saw the result.
Perhaps they are not the only ones who have a copy of the true documents.
Remember Bill Clinton's abrupt trip to Africa as soon as 0bama became a real threat? Why was that, do you 'spose?
As long as 0bama is pointing the country towards the status they want it to have when they take over he's safe. They get a dictatorship with that most precious of things - someone else to blame!
Why on earth is Barry fighting this so much. The more he resists, the more I think something is there. Maybe it wouldn't disqualify him - but maybe it would be embarassing. Perhaps Barack Obama Sr isn't his real father. He may have been born in Hawaii, but that someone else was his father ?? He would be still qualified to be Prez, but it wiould raise more questions.
I have this url from 1963
" If a child born in Hawaii, for whom no physician or mid wife filed a certificate of live birth, and for whom no Delayed Certificate was filed before the first birthday, then a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth could be issued upon testimony of an adult including the subject person) if the Lieutenant Governor was satisfied that a person was born in Hawaii, provided that the person had attained the age of one year."
The "Original" birth certificate that "O" posted on his campaign site had "Date filed by Registrar" as August 8, 1961, so I wouldn't see how he could get by with going over as an adult to create what was supposedly in existence in 1961.
I do, however, think they will trial float whatever scam they are going to try on venues such as FR, just to see what kind of holes people will poke in it.
Oooops gotta go, black caddy in front of the house.
Obama was born in Hawaii. For a while it looked possible that this wasn't the case, and it was worth close and careful investigation. That investigation has been done. Some of you ask, "why won't Obama produce his birth certificate, if it will make this whole thing go away?" It occurs to me that maybe it's in his best interest not to. Sure, maybe he was secretly born in Kenya, but a vast conspiracy of people who wanted him to become President 47 years later placed a birth announcement in the newspaper, and then conspired with Hawaiian record-keeping agencies, hitherto non-partisan, to risk their quiet, bookish careers to lie about the records they have on file.
But maybe it's in Obama's best interest, given that most people have accepted the overwhelming evidence that he was born in the United States, to let a sliver of his most vociferous opponents waste their time chasing their own tails while looking rather silly to the rest of the country. Maybe he'd rather you were spending any time, even five minutes a day, pursuing an absolute dead end instead of criticizing his budget, or his homeland security policies, or his immigration stances, or his health care plan. If he provided his birth certificate, that waste of your time would go away, and you'd spend more time mounting arguments about things Obama actually cares about. Maybe, just maybe, you're being used by this issue. If there's any conspiracy here, that's the one I'd believe first.
The same way they can waltz into an ER with a common cold, demand a Spanish interpreter and not be asked to produce a health insurance card and make a co-pay . . . and most likely will be served ahead of the American citizen who is bleeding on the floor.
We should have NEVER let HI become a state! They were not ready.
True.....But you never know with this scumbag. That's why Polarik's tag line reads "forgeries are forever"
That is not prima facia evidence of the location of his birth. That said,
I don't think it's a waste of a few people's time and efforts to chase this down. I'm perfectly willing to lean back and watch how it all develops. If nothing comes of it, so what? These few intrepid souls have already been branded as kooks by the media.
There's nothing to see here really /sarc goron
Obama has lived for 48 years without leaving any footprints none! There is no Obama documentation no bona fides no paper trail nothing.

Factcheck is discredited.
Do you subscribe to the same approach regarding his non-release of all his college, most of his medical, selective service and passport records?
Just what will comprise the Obama presidential library one wonders, since he has covered his history with opacity, numerous akas and undisclosed biographical information?
Remember Obama told us in Dreams of My Father that he used his "birth certificate" as a bookmark, kept it close at hand as cherished.
Surely such a well-worn and tattered momento shares no resemblance to the freshly "minted" ( read photoshopped) COLB offered up on factcheck, do you think?
A lot of people contrive US citizenship for their children in order that they may gain the advantages of such citizenship. Mexican anchor babies are one example. A mom having a kid in Kenya would plausibly fake a US birth for her child too, given the chance.
I have this url from 1963
Vedddy interesting, on Townhall too ;^)
She wouldn't need to go through that. The child would be a US citizen because the mother was, though not natural born.
Plus his father, if it's who he says it was, was not a US citizen therefore anyway you look at it, zer0 is ineligible.
I have this url from 1963
Wow thats a pretty old url! ;)

Updated, with thanks to Gemsbok:
0bama has lived for half a century
without leaving any footprints none. Why would (and how could) that be?
Here is the tip of the iceberg. The Noelani Elementary School Kindergarten records are oddly missing from the the State of Hawaii Department of Education.
There is a citation for this on the megathread:
This is an important feature because K-records for original school entry would have contained the following:
1. His REAL Birth Certificate.
2. An application with the following:
1.. His Legal name.
2.. Parents or Legal Guardians names.
3. Date of Birth
4. Place of Birth
5. Vaccination Records (revealing a timeline to the place and DOB.)
It also is important for two reasons:
A. The Dept.of Education does not lose the records of one particular student. (So, ... Who paid whom what sum to make this record disappear?)
B. There would have been NO shameful low-test scores, NO embarassing Equal Opportunity advancements, and NO trails of fraudulent funding to hide which could possibly excuse the quashing of public school Kindergarten entry records. For the rest of his life he attended very expensive private schools and has had his records legally sealed to deny the public, his true life story.
This is different. Hawaii should be able to verify he attended their school since he is featured in class photographs. State and federal tax dollars paid for his initial year of education. Why is there no documentation?
This is the tip of the iceberg of an intentionally erased life of a fraudulent conman and it reeks of complicity by officials within the State of Hawaiis

I don't think it is to Obama's advantage to keep this going.
Conservatives are not "chacing their tails" on it so much that they are ignoring the other problems of dear leader. It just chips away at his credibility - and according to you - for no reason.
BTW, Annenberg Center was also a funder of Obama's community activism with Bill Ayers to "immprove" education in Chicago. Obama lies; they swear to it.
She wouldn't need to go through that. The child would be a US citizen because the mother was, though not natural born.
Not true
The laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama's mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a "natural born" citizen
There was that thing about residency requirement back then that she couldn't meet. She probably didn't want to have to go through the paperwork of making him a citizen later, easier to fake a Hawaiian birth by putting an announcement in the paper and submitting for a certificate of birth.
I've read different accounts though on the laws regarding conferring citizenship to an underage mother's child, whether the birth occurred in or out of the country.
It is a well established fact the father was not a citizen, therefore zer0 is not eligible. But that would only count in a country where race doesn't trump the law.
In fact it's getting difficult these days to surprise me with anything
Heck if it turns out there was a conspiracy deep enough to put that together we are screwed anyway.
If Bambi was born in Hawaii, doubtful at best, and his father was a "Green Card" holder then Bambi would be a NBC. Because Obama, Sr. was on a student visa, The 1948 British Citizenship Act. is applicable and Bambi is full of sh-t!
Wow even older than I first thunk it! ;)
Not a conspiracy, just utilitarian.
I'm sure in 1961, Obama's mother wanted all the privileges of a child born in the US...this alone is motive to lie on the affidavit to gain some iteration of certification for her offspring.
Rather than risk red tape, maybe bias.
What was she doing in Cuber and where did you get this info?
It doesn't necessarily have to be a conspiracy that goes that far back, there are other compelling reasons those announcements might have been placed.
That aside, you have no curiosity as to why he won't just show the proper documentation, not to mention the disappearance of all his other records?
"FactCheck.org, funded by the Annenberg Center (as in appointee-of-Nixon-and-friend-of-Reagan Walter Annenberg), has thoroughly debunked every angle of this story"

The ability to capture CO2 is likely to apply only to new coal plants. Retrofitting the thousands of existing plants is, at the moment, a pipe dream."It may turn out that capturing CO2 will require shifting to an entirely new kind of plant, called IGCC, or "integrated gasification combined cycle," which uses heat and pressure to transform coal into a gas, which is then burned to generate electricity. IGCC has lots of advantages, but most important is the fact that CO2 can be removed during the gasification process, when the volume of the gas is much smaller than it is when it is released up the stack of a conventional coal plant. The disadvantage of IGCC is that it is new and different and expensive, and this industry has a long history of fighting anything new and different and expensive. In any case, the important point is that the ability to capture CO2 is likely to apply only to new coal plants. Retrofitting the thousands of existing coal plants is, at the moment, a pipe dream.
Until CO2 is priced at about $40 a ton, power companies will find it cheaper to keep dumping it into the air rather than capturing and burying it underground."Liability is also a large and unresolved problem. If a micro-seep of CO2 asphyxiates five girls in a basement during a slumber party in Illinois, who is going to be held accountable? Injecting CO2 can also push briny salt water from deep aquifers up toward the surface, potentially ruining drinking water supplies. If a town's water is ruined, who pays? One solution that is frequently discussed is a version of the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnities Act, which assures power companies that if their nukes melt down, they won't be liable for the full cost of the disaster. That might be a good deal for Big Coal, but not such a good deal for the rest of us, who will essentially end up holding the bag if something goes wrong.

The externship program at the Animal Emergency Clinic of Maury County, LLC (AECMC) actually involves three distinct sections: Emergency Medicine, Private Practice and Humane Society Spay/Neuter. Our externship program provides a wide range of experiences with multiple points of view from many different people.
The Emergency Medicine section involves time at the AECMC shadowing the veterinary and veterinary technician staff providing care for patients that are referred to the clinic by area veterinary hospitals for care after regular business hours. We currently serve parts of 10 counties and over 35 veterinary hospitals. Our staff consists of licensed veterinary technicians and technician students from the local college. Our hospital has also volunteered to allow technician student interns to rotate through our hospital as part of Columbia State Community College's technician training program. The clinic is a full service hospital with in-house blood analysis, radiology, and a modern surgical suite.
The Private Practice portion of the externship can be divided between a mobile veterinary practice owned by one of the current AECMC associates and time in a traditional small animal veterinary practice.
The Humane Society Spay/Neuter portion of the externship involves spending time at Nashville Humane Association with Dr. Louis Lembo. Dr. Lembo currently performs more than 150 spay/neuters per week with a team of 3 assistants. The student extern will not only be exposed to high volume spay/neuter setting but will also learn about shelter management and medicine. At the extern's digression, they may participate in special situations, such as cruelty investigation or education opportunities, as they arise. The extern will be supervised and will not directly participate direct in these events, other than as an observer.
Associate Veterinarians and special expertise available
Louis N. Lembo, DVM, MS
Educational Resources
None on record
- Knowledge: We expect that our externs arrive with a minimum knowledge base. We also require that interns spend time researching cases and conditions that they come across during the externship. We understand that the extern will not come with all the skills needed to practice, however, we expect intelligent conversation based on scientific evidence and a rational thought process. The doctors and technicians want to learn from the extern as well.
- Participation: We expect that externs arrive ready to read radiographs, interpret blood work, perform basic physical exams and make attempts to formulate basic treatment plans. We also expect that the extern be willing to ask questions of the doctors and staff. The extern will have access to a wide range of individuals, including veterinarians, technicians, humane society management, and clients. We expect the intern to use this opportunity to engage these people and learn from them.
- Interaction with the staff: The extern will have contact with a wide range of people, clients and staff included. We expect that they treat everyone with respect and courtesy.
- Attendance: The emergency clinic is open night weekends and holidays. Much of the work occurs outside of regular business hours. We expect the extern to manage their own schedule to maximize their time at the various locations.
