Ship Weight:0.10 Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product ShiKai Borage Therapy Dry Skin Adult Formula - 1 oz (29 ml) Borage Dry Skin Therapy Lotion, Adult Formula is for treatment of atopic dermatitis, eczema and other dry skin disorders. Borage Dry Skin Therapy Lotion is specially formulated with magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (stabilized vitamin C) and with the amino acid, L-ergothioneine, to help improve the redness, flaking and moisture loss associated with mature skin. These two ingredients have been shown to boost the cell's ability to utilize ATP which is the primary energy source for all cellular metabolism. With this formula, skin cells receive an extra energy boost that helps them utilize the gamma-Linolenic Acid present in borage oil. If used on a regular basis, the effect is cumulative and will result in long term improvement. "MINI LOTIONS" for trial, travel and gift-giving. Professional StrengthThis rich, non-greasy hand cream can bring fast and lasting relief to dry cracked skin caused by: Regular and repeated hand washing Exposure to harsh and drying chemicals Many people have dry skin that just won't go away and isn't relieved with traditional moisturizers. This is why ShiKai created Borage Dry Skin Therapy. These products have an ingredient so effective, it's been proven in medical journals again and again. In other words, it really works. Borage oil, extracted from the seeds of the borage plant, is a natural source of gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), an important OMEGA-6 fatty acid which is required for healthy skin cell membranes. Without sufficient GLA, cells can't retain enough moisture. This can result in dry skin and other chronic skin problems. Borage oil penetrates deep, delivering GLA and its benefits directly to the cells. As a result, skin retains more moisture and is healthier. Clinically Proven FormulaStudies show that borage oil restores moisture to dry skin and provides long-term relief. ShiKai Borage Therapy is the most effective way to deliver the moisturizing properties of borage because it contains a unique blend of natural ingredients, including borage oil, vitamin C and L-ergothioneine.

When the Lord made Nurses...
He was in his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said " You're doing alot of fiddling around on this one."
And the Lord said, " Have you read the specs on this order? "
" A Nurse has to be able to help an injured person, breathe life into a dying person, give comfort to a family that has lost their only child, and not wrinkle their uniform.
They have to be able to lift 3 times their own weight, work 12 to 16 hours straight without missing a detail, and console a grieving mother as they are doing CPR on a baby they know will never breathe again...
They have to be in top mental condition at all times, running on too-little sleep, black coffee and half-eaten meals. And they have to have six pairs of hands. "
The Angel shook her head slowly and said,
" six pairs of hands..no way"
"It's not the hands that are causing me the problems," said the Lord, " It's the two pairs of eyes a Nurse has to have." "That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.
The Lord nodded. " One pair that does quick glances while making note of any physical changes, and another pair of eyes that can look reassuringly at a bleeding patient and say,"You'll be all right, Ma'am." when they know it isn't so."
"Lord," said the angel, touching his sleeve, "rest and work on this tomorrow."
" I can't," said the Lord, " I already have a model that can talk to a 250 pound grieving family member whose child has been hit by a drunk driver...who, by the way, is in the next room uninjured..and also be able to feed a family of five on a Nurse's paycheck."
The angel circled the model of the Nurse very slowly.
"Can it think?" she asked. "You bet," said the Lord," It can tell you the symptoms of 100 illnesses; recite drug calculations in its' sleep; intubate,defibrillate,medicate, and continue CPR nonstop until help arrives...and still keep its' sense of humor.
This Nurse also has phenomenal personal control.They can deal with a multi-victim trauma, coax a frightened elderly person to unlock thier door, comfort a murder victim's family, and then read in the daily paper how nurses are insensitive and uncaring and are only doing a job."
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the nurse. " There's a leak." she pronounced. "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model."
"That's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear."
"What is the tear for?" asked the angel.
"It's for bottled-up emotions, for patients they've tried in vain to save, for commitment to that hope that they will make a difference in a person's chance to survive, for life"
"You're a genius" said the angel.
The Lord looked somber...." I didn't put it there" He said.

Great news. Christian John Godfrey (my new grandson) was born this morning at 6:07 am, vaginally, with the help of an epidural. The L&D nurse could have been better at the time of delivery (much, much better), but the nurses afterward made up for a lot. He was 20.5 inches and 7 lbs 13 oz.
(We are friends with director of the place [Nurse-Midwife], so that will not happen to anyone else.)
He is adorable. Quiet. Only cried when taken from our warm, cuddly arms to have a bath. My son was horsing around with him (the 32 year old bachelor uncle) and Christian suddenly had a cute little smile and he ripped a loud one and filled his diaper.
My wife and I are trying to catch-up with sleep the rest of today. Tomorrow, we have friends coming over to help clean up tomorrow, so that my daughter and family do not have to stay in the motorhome in the backyard (that's not too bad, 34' Winnebago).
Will attach pictures when I get everything transferred.
Thank you for your well wishes and prayers.

Cute shoe, weird straps
"This shoe was incredibly comfy and very cute. The strap that went around the ankle was a weird size-on the tightest notch the strap was too loose. Wish the fit was different because otherwise-I LOVE these shoes!"

It's that time again for my Friday roundup of what pop culture helped me get through the week. Feel free to add your own picks as well!
Per usual, these go to 11:
1. Bob Newhart. He may be 83, but he hasn't lost his genius sense of comedic timing. Newhart's guest appearance on this week's Big Bang Theory marked one of the season's funniest episodes.
2. Free Comic Book Day. Don't forget to support your local comics shop tomorrow (and grab some free books while you're at it). Here are my top 10 picks.
3. Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan. The father of five young children has a funny parenting memoir out next week. Reading it made me feel like a weakling for having trouble keeping up with just one kid!
4. The Sopranos. HBO Signature reruns the series every night at 8 p.m. ET. Lately it's been my go-to viewing during the week, and I'm surprised how much of this amazing show I'd forgotten.
5. Vader's Little Princess. Jeffrey Brown's new book of Star Wars-inspired cartoons is a must-have for any fan.
6. Harry Hamlin. Mad Men is all about the surprise guest stars this season. Nice to see Harry looking very dignified on Sunday.
7. Ready to Die. No, I'm not talking about the Notorious B.I.G. record. Ready to Die is also the name of the new album from Iggy & The Stooges, and it rocks harder than most bands a fraction of their age.
8. Karate Kid nostalgia. A few special guest stars made this week's How I Met Your Mother a treat for '80s kids.
9. Masters of Sex. Have you seen the preview for this new Showtime series starring Lizzy Caplan and Michael Sheen as sex researchers Masters and Johnson? It's quite, um, climactic.
10. Neutral Milk Hotel. News of the reunion tour has prompted me to break out In the Aeroplane Over the Sea for the billionth time. It only gets better with age.
11. Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you, everyone.

Pri-Mates is a research-based, visual arts project, which began 10 years ago. It has included collaborations and residencies at major international zoos, primate research institutes and my personal research of apes in the wild. Through research into primate behaviour, I have developed an arts project which has been exhibited extensively within Australia and internationally.
This visual arts project examines the relationship between humans and their primate relatives with the resultant art works being in the form of drawings, computer generated photography, sculpture, video and sound installation. Pri-mates—Political Ape consists of a series of seven bronze busts of chimpanzees and a sound installation piece, thereby combining traditional sculptural technique with new technology.
I recorded the sound piece of chimpanzee vocalisations at the London Zoo, which was then edited and designed with the help of renowned musician, Charlie Owen. The concept of Political Ape was inspired by the research and writings of Dutch primatologist Frans DeWaal.
DeWaal's research is based on his observations of a Bonobo chimpanzee colony at a research centre in Holland, highlighting their use of vocalisations in order to communicate and create political order within their groups. These vocalisations reflect on primate use of language, thought to be essential to the development of mankind as we know it today.
The sounds of chimpanzees communicating with each other hits a primal nerve in the human listener, and when combined with the individually expressive faces of the chimpanzee busts, creates the scene of a primal consortium, or conspiracy.

©2006 Susan Richards; (P)2007 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"This is a bracing and likable book, highly recommended for backyard horsewomen and their admirers." (Publishers Weekly)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"If you love"
If you love horses read this book,
If you love animals read this book,
If you love or want to, read this book
If you are hurt from a loss you must...
Read this book!
"Loved, loved, LOVED this book"
As a lover of horses, this book called to me. I recommended it to all my horse-loving and non-horse-loving (don't understand those people at all!) friends. The narrator was spectacular. I thought it must surely be the author reading her own story, though I found out later it was not. The feeling with which it was read was so very genuine. I related to this story in so many ways, I felt as if I were experiencing this book, and by the time there was only half an hour left, I was sobbing so hard, I had to stop listening. My husband was even fighting back tears. By the next morning, we felt we had the strength to finish the story....we finished it. I cried some more. And immediately recommended it to everyone that I know. A wonderful story beautifully told.
"tear jerker"
I cried and braced myself for more crying at this wonderfully written story about the absolute love an animal gives us even tho the animal has suffered beyond words. I felt every emotion as I read through this soul pounding, God bless the horses, and the people who did not know each other but came together for the good of the animal. Get out the kleenex on this one.
"More than a horse tale"
Quite different story than I expected. Very well narrated, the voice of the narrator fits well on the character. The story makes you think; despite our messy past, we should see the future as an opportunity.
"A wonderful story for anyone who loves animals"
As one who has a soft spot for all animals, this is a touching story of a woman's efforts to befriend an abused horse, and later, to heal it. Even after finishing the audible book, I continued to think about Lay Me Down, the horse, and the mystical hold that animals have over our lives.
"Predictable yet Heartwarming"
Listened to this warm yet raspy story while on vacation in the Smokey Mountains this summer. A fitting story for the scenery and surroundings I thought even if my wife and I did find ourselves silent fighting off the emotional wash of tears, understanding, and sympathy. For the pet lover and caretaker in me, it was as much about the broken horse as it was the author's broken heart, life, and tested will. Yes, Murphy's 3rd Law (S#!& Happens) fully applies and makes the whole story at first seem to be a "woe is me" tale but it quickly hits home to the listener/reader that there really is heart, loss, and soul wretched personal emotional trauma that is put on display. It takes a strong will to keep getting up when life loves to do nothing but keep putting you down yet when these two mammals meet it is a resounding reminder of how spoken language is so over rated and how a look, an action, a sound and even behavior is a universal language between souls where no other language exists.
I won't call it my favorite book. I can't even say if I would listen to it again, although very likely. However, I feel that I am a better person for having "read" it if only to be reminded that we are most, if not all, awash in the same sea of life and should do our best to perform our duties as keeper of this great blue marble and its multitudes of all its inhabitants.
"A great story..."
Loved the writing, the humor and detail were perfect and really created wonderful images for the listener/reader. However, the narrator's voice was pretty "over-the-top" theatrical, in my opinion. Richards' writing voice is so honest and straightforward, it did not seem a good match with the narrator's.
"A true story of friendship"
I loved this book so much. I cried while listening to it on my way home and people were concerned. It was very touching and a beautiful book to listen to.
Wonderful, heartwarming story and Lorna Raver narrated it beautifully.
"A "Must Choose" for any Animal Lover"
Yes! And I don't typically re-read books because there are far too many, and such little time. But this one would be an excellent "cozy up and read again" option.
Lay Me Down... while most might say Susan, I think Lay Me Down tells the best portions of this story.
Susan. There is SO MUCH reliability in this character. Any woman can recount her own versions of Susan's past, and any young girl can tell you she has hopes and dreams not unlike those of Susan.
I laughed, mostly at Lay Me Down's antics (and those of the other horses in the pasture), but also at Susan's blunt, truthful reactions to the world. And of course, whenever there is a horse involved in any story, there is likely to be some tears.
Not as good as "Saving Baby," but very, very, very good nonetheless. Well written, very well read, and an excellent reminder of what's important in this world. Highly recommend!
"Sweet Book"
This is a heartbreaking and yet wonderful story of a lady and her horse....... it is a must read for any horse lover
"Bittersweet account of pet ownership"
Whilst this book will generally appeal to horse devotees, it is an account of pet ownership of more elderly animals and the trials and tribulations that goes along with it. It was an enjoyable listen and the narrator was very good. Worth a listen but you may need industrial quantities of tissues to hand
"very sad"
very sad and upsetting, the story portrayed the bond between horse and human very well. slightly annoying how 43 years of age is repeatedly referred to as old..the references to the age of the lady in the book would of been more appropriate for a seventy year old, very well narrated.
"Great book if you love horses"
Yes, if you love horses you will enjoy this book but have tissues out
Was about horses, sad but good
Her love of horses
Yes if I had time
but it made me cry...I was making soup, chopping veg, listening, and reaching for the kitchen roll...
"Loved it!"
Three words wouldn't be enough. It was a beautiful tale of a women finding a horse and herself over a number of years. It was an honest and beautifully revealing journey that didn't dwell on the trials and tribulations, but chose to see the majesty and opportunity for progression.
What made the book for me was the authors honest appraisal of her tough journey and the human capacity to learn and move forward. Also, the story was engaging throughout.
The best narration I've heard. The intonations were heartfelt and carried you through all the emotions of the story

Damiki D Pop 70
The Damiki D-Pop 70 is a well-crafted popper style bait that can also produce a tremendous walk-the-dog action. It sits in the water at a 45-degree when at rest, and can almost walk-the-dog in place if desired to prolong your time in the strike zone. A favorite of FLW Tour pro and 2010 FLW AOY, Brian Thrift, it causes a commotion in the water that smallmouth and largemouth have trouble resisting, and its action can be easily changed and manipulated by the angler. Available in a variety of colors, the Damiki D-Pop 70 features an unbeatable finish and two super sharp treble hooks, including a feathered tail hook.

Comments: Got this popper in the black holo color for an upcoming big bass tournament. was throwing my spro hydro pop. then tied this on so I didn't lose that. bombed it across the clearing and just a slow twitch of the rod to make the bait walk super slow. twitch. twitch. BOOM!! she inhaled it. 5.23 pounds my biggest popper fish hands down. this thing walks really nice. casts pretty decent will be getting more for sure..
From: Dustin: Spokane, WA 6/17/15
Comments: This is my favorite popper. I have both black holo and white. Black holo works the best of the two so far. I've caught bass off these on every trip to the lake this summer. The paints holds up ok. My only problem is that the hooks aren't sticky sharp but a nail file took care of that.
From: John: Clovis, CA 7/15/14
Comments: Ordered two of these, hoping that they could be cheaper alternatives to the Megabass Pop X that I lost on a previous fishing trip. Upon initial inspection, I noticed that the hooks aren't the best quality. Fresh out of the box, one of the front trebles had a point that was "rolled over" (I hope that makes sense). Because the tip of the hook was blunted, I touched it up on small sharpening stone, and realized that the hooks are plated with something...because the coating immediately started to flake off. The second one had a treble that needed a touch-up as well. I do like the action, and they make a variety of noises depending on the retrieve. Haven't caught a fish on them yet though after three trips. To sum up though, they seem okay with the exception of the hooks.
From: Cheng: Worecester, MA 5/27/14
Comments: This is a great little popper, the perfect size IMO. It does it all, from a subtle little "bloop" to a full on "PLOP". Sticky sharp hooks too.
From: Dave: Upperco, MD USA
Comments: I got this bait for clear water reservoirs busting/schooling finicky bass feeding on shad. The bass I was fishing for would not touch my vixen, lobino, or LC sammy. This bait worked, and fooled a lot of bass when the bite was tough(also used 10-12lb mono).
From: Kerry: Southern CA
Comments: Worked great for Smallies up in Maine
From: Paul: NY
Comments: I've used a lot of poppers, have a lot of poppers but this is the only one I throw, black holo is my go to color
Comments: Great popper style lure. Great hooks, great colors, and catches fish when my $20 lobina won't.

Posted on 08/27/2012 10:22:38 AM PDT by helpfulresearcher
There was a fraud perpetrated by a President of the United States. He was not a natural born citizen so he obfuscated his nativity story. He had all his relevant records destroyed to cover up his fraud, and he and his supporters got away with it.
Does this sound like our current occupant of the White House? Actually, it was another president: Chester A. Arthur, the 21st President of the United States. He attained office due to the assassination of President Garfield. This was in spite of the fact that he was not a natural born citizen, in violation of the US Constitution, Article 2, Section 1. His father was not a US citizen at the time of his birth. The fraud was not discovered until long after his death.
You can repeal a law, but you cant repeal evidence, and the Naturalization Act of 1790 is unequivocal evidence of exactly what the US Congress meant by Natural Born Citizen.

There was a fraud perpetrated by a President of the United States. He was not a natural born citizen so he obfuscated his nativity story. He had all his relevant records destroyed to cover up his fraud, and he and his supporters got away with it.
Does this sound like our current occupant of the White House? Actually, it was another president: Chester A. Arthur, the 21st President of the United States. He attained office due to the assassination of President Garfield. This was in spite of the fact that he was not a natural born citizen, in violation of the US Constitution, Article 2, Section 1. His father was not a US citizen at the time of his birth. The fraud was not discovered until long after his death.
Only two classes of Citizen are recognized by the US Constitution. The first is a Citizen. Whether by birth or naturalization, all Citizens share the same rights and privileges. The other is a Natural Born Citizen, a separate class defined by different legal conditions and with different privileges, specifically eligibility to the offices of President and Vice President.
Wikipedias page on the subject of Natural Born Citizen claims that this term was never defined in law, that we must divine the Founders intended meaning by reviewing myriad, conflicting opinions and comments in court cases. This is simply not true. The Founders legislated their definition of that term just two years after the Constitution was ratified, providing clear meaning for a requirement of the highest office of the land. One would expect no less of them:
And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens Naturalization Act 1790
Taking a critical look at this Congressional legislation, we see that the children of citizens is an absolute requirement. There are no qualifiers. No exception is made for the child of a non-citizen. The Founders definition extends to those who may be born outside the limits of the United States as well. They understood that ambassadors such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson would spend years abroad in service to their country, possibly with their families, and did not want to disqualify their own children born during such service.
The US Constitution, written by the Founders, requires the status of Natural Born Citizen to be eligible for the Presidency. This requirement can only be removed through the Amendment process. While the original 1790 Naturalization Act was repealed and replaced by later legislation redefining the means by which one could become a Citizen, the Founders intended meaning of Natural Born Citizen still stands.
You can repeal a law, but you cant repeal evidence, and the Naturalization Act of 1790 is unequivocal evidence of exactly what the US Congress meant by Natural Born Citizen.
Some conveniently insist that the 1790 law is no longer in effect or that it does not provide a currently applicable legal definition. Yet, when doubts were raised about the eligibility of John McCain in the 2008 election, the US Senate referenced that law to confirm his status:
as evidenced by the First Congresss own statute defining the term `natural born Citizen Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a `natural born Citizen under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States. Senate Resolution 511
Birth to US Citizens was thus recognized, in 2008, as the primary condition for Natural Born Citizen status. The Panama Canal Zone was under US Sovereignty until 1977. McCain was born under US Jurisdiction as surely as if he had been born in New Jersey. However, he still had to meet the requirement of birth to Citizen parents to qualify. The definition in the law remains in effect.
Whenever posted, the text of the 1790 law is promptly removed from the Wikipedia page, as it is inconvenient to those trying to cloud the issue and confuse the general public. Furthermore, when this information was posted at a forum owned by a former subsidiary of the New York Times, not only was the posting removed, but perhaps coincidentally, the entire forum was permanently shut down overnight. There has been a concerted effort to keep this information out of the public eye.
There have been no fewer than eight Congressional attempts to remove the Natural Born Citizen requirement from the Presidency since 2003, mostly by Democrats. The only Republican to sponsor them attempted to remove the natural born citizen requirement twice and reduce the citizenship requirement to 20 years. This would in fact nullify the Constitution without the lawful amendments process. All these attempts failed.
We can see that the Founders primary intent was that neither parent be a foreign national, which makes good sense. This minimizes the likelihood that either parent will pass down foreign loyalties or ideology to the would-be President that would dilute his bond with his countrymen and his nations principles. Case in point, the fellow illegally in the White House today who demonstrates abundant foreign loyalties and ideologies hostile to America.
The birth certificate provided by Barack Obama is an obviously altered document, according to multiple digital forensics experts. Have you ever wondered why such a blatant forgery was presented? Were the Obama handlers that incompetent? Didnt anybody in the White House care that such a shoddy piece of photoshop work was made public?
The answer lies within our legal system. Obama and his DNC/Holder Justice lawyers are notorious for using the mechanisms of the system to gain power and abuse it, thwarting the law in the process. This is a part of their strategy.
In fact, the ongoing furor over the place of birth is exactly what Obama wants. It is a red herring, a distraction from the fact he cannot legally be a Natural Born Citizen no matter where he was born.
Some have argued that Obama is the result of an affair in Hawaii by Ann Dunham with communist agitator Frank Marshall Davis (a US citizen born in Kansas) see Dreams of My Real Father. If that were true, it would make Obama a natural born citizen.
However, mere illegitimacy would be unlikely to justify the expense and risk Obama has taken to hide his past. Furthermore, the details of the alleged birth certificate presented by Mr. Obama himself, if false, are a poorly chosen lie because they disqualify him from the Presidency.
It is Barack Obamas foreign parent Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. that disqualifies him. The Democrat-controlled Senate knew this in 2008 when McCains eligibility as a Natural Born Citizen was legally resolved. They did not do the same for Obama precisely because he could not meet the legal requirements.
Barack Obama has gone to great lengths to stir up controversy over his place of birth while preventing legal resolution of his eligibility. He could easily provide court access to his original documents but that would, according to the laws above, work against him. Thats why he instead has teams of lawyers scrambling to block any court case seeking access to his original birth documents. Obamas place of birth is an intentional distraction.
These antics began in mid-2008, well before the election, when Democrat attorney Philip Berg attempted to determine the eligibility of his own partys candidate. Obamas obstructionist response revealed Obamas own knowledge of his legal problem, though the mainstream news media willfully concealed it from the general public and derided anyone who would bring it up as a Birther.
Instead of satisfying Plaintiff and the general publics concerns regarding Obamas citizenship status, or lack thereof, Obama and the DNC have chosen to litigate the matters in lieu of providing what should be simple proof. Defendants have filed two [2] Motions to Dismiss and a Motion for a Protective Order instead of simply solving the matters and providing the proof verifying Obamas citizenship status. Berg v. Obama et al
A Judge vetting Obamas eligibility can only rule based on the legal evidence presented to the court. If Obamas true birth certificate is presented, then the Judge can take legal notice that Obamas father was not a US Citizen and disqualify Barack Obama from eligibility for the Presidency.
Obamas people understood this well in advance and ensured that the only copies of his birth documents that might be obtained by plaintiffs against him were easily identified as altered documents, therefore easily disputed as proof in a court of law. Its a fair bet his own attorneys would dispute their evidentiary value just as they absurdly proclaimed in a Florida court that Obama is not yet the Democrat candidate for 2012 and is therefore immune to lawsuits demanding his eligibility be resolved.
A President of the United States illegally took office while violating the Natural Born Citizen requirements. Not only could it happen; it did happen. Twice. It is a part of history. Barack Obama is not the first to perpetrate that fraud but this time the consequences are more dire. With the news media and cowardly politicians concealing this fact, will the American People be fooled yet a third time?
I hope and pray when Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan win, along with a win of control of the Senate, they move to prosecute O, Pelosi, Reid, and anyone else, including Holder . . . and then remove the unwise Latina woman and the other one from the Court and appoint replacements. Reverse everything he has done, except you can't get the money back that he has squandered.
Impeach Elena Kagan too! She should have never participated in the Health Care decision since she worked in the Obama White House and had a clear conflict of interest.
If Obama is an American born citizen, wouldn't he have been able to get a valid social security card in his home state of Hawaii while he was in high school there?
Most of these early "supporters" of the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF were party to the Communists "spooks".
There's a great volume of history you have to go through to understand this, and it goes back to about 1850.
Read these three articles on one of my earlier post:
It's deep, it's ugly, and most people WILL NOT ... CAN NOT ... accept the truth.
His SS card is from Connecticut, a place he didn't start work in. It should be from Hawaii, bnut it isn't.
I'm hoping that much of the bogus stuff can be reversed by executive orders and some of the misappropriated revenues can be recovered by the courts. If they named a special prosecutor to investigate criminal behavior by elected officials over the last years it would set a precedent which would paralyze future administrations.
The article fails to mention that every time that a state official, when given a chance to rule on the Natural Born Citizen clause, has punted away the opportunity and equated it with a Native Born Citizen. This was the result in Indiana, Florida, Arizona and Georgia.
Therefore, the possibility of a birth abroad is far more damaging than another tired argument about Natural Born Citizens.
You can repeal a law, but you cant repeal evidence, and the Naturalization Act of 1790 is unequivocal evidence of exactly what the US Congress meant by Natural Born Citizen.
And the children of citizens [PLURAL!] of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens" Naturalization Act 1790
"In fact, the ongoing furor over the place of birth is exactly what Obama wants. It is a red herring, a distraction from the fact he cannot legally be a Natural Born Citizen no matter where he was born."
Everything Obama did from the moment he was sworn in illegally should be struck as null and void, better to clean up the spilt milk than to cover it with a new floor.
The only real trusted patriots in America are the ones who believe Obama is an usurper.
Obama should be tried for Treason, along with all the Democrats who certified him.
Hmmm.....I already see a problem with this "Birth Certificate".
The dates provided. Only in the US and a few select places do they order the date mm/dd/yyyy. Most of the world orders the date dd/mm/yyyy.
It would seem strange that a Kenyan document would do this, and yet this date order appears 3 times, once typed and twice in handwriting.
The possibility of a birth abroad is unproven and remains difficult to prove. The legal reason he cannot be President, his lack of Natural Born Citizen status, is proven and apparently indisputable (unless his father was someone else).
The strongest case against Obama is that he is not a Natural Born Citizen due to his foreign Father. We need not seek any other 'proof' than what Obama himself has presented. Yet, as you say, various courts have punted on the opportunity to make a ruling and have him removed from the Presidency. Why?
Public servants and Judges at all levels know full well that the Left have been conditioning their followers to tear this nation apart from the inside if their coup is thwarted. Even John McCain declined to challenge rampant Democrat voter fraud because of fear that Obama supporters, gathered on the streets by the millions, weeping over their 'historic opportunity' to hand a guy the Presidency because of the color of his skin, would become violent if he were blocked from taking office.
"After discussions with his inner circle, which explains the delay in his speech, McCain decided not to pursue the voter fraud in PA and Ohio, despite his staffs desire to make it an issue. He said no. Staff felt they could get a federal injunction to stop the process. McCain felt the crowds assembled in support of Obama and such would be detrimental to our country and it would do our nation no good for this to drag out like last go around, coupled with the possibility of domestic violence."
And that's how the communist coup in America succeeded, via the threat of violence should they be stopped. History will record that cowardice allowed our nation's enemies to take control of the system of government and use it to "fundamentally transform", to DESTROY, what Americans worked so hard to create.
And those enemies weren't even keeping their ambitions a secret.
"The need for de-development [of the United States] presents our economists with a major challenge. They must design a stable, low-consumption economy in which there is a much more equitable distribution of wealth than in the present one. Redistribution of wealth both within and among nations is absolutely essential" - John Holdren, Science Czar to Barack Obama
Take down the US, pillage its wealth and redistribute to other nations, make the world more "fair" for corrupt leaders salivating for a share of the spoils. It is happening. Right now. It cannot be undone.
At least it isn't Frankensteined together with Photoshop and adobe, like the 3 he has submitted to the public so far.
Can one doubt HIS OWN ADMISSION?
Yes, when the video is obviously spliced in numerous places to fake an admission that Barry has never made. This has been debunked. It would be best not to keep posting it on FR.
You're talking about a strategy that is already 0 for 4 in local jurisdictions trying to remove him from the ballot for NBC issues. And other judges can cite these cases as precedence. No way that by November, any official authority will declare Obama ineligible for the ballot on NBC grounds.
And, if he is re-elected, his chances of being asked to leave are moot — there have been countless efforts (starting with Berg and Donofrio) to disqualify him from office because of his NBC status; none has ever made it to trial
What you're saying is that our legal system cannot be used to put an end to this coup, to remove the illegal usurper in the White House, because the courts refuse to take the case. I agree. They refuse primarily on the grounds that the plaintiffs lack "standing", among other excuses ("it's already been twittered" is one of my favorites).
Yes, Obama has been successful in preventing his legal birth document from being entered into evidence. The courts have failed in their sworn duty to uphold our Constitution. They even sent Lt. Col. Terry Lakin to prison rather than uphold the Constitution by requiring the Commander in Chief to demonstrate legal eligibility for the job.
That's how effective the "consolidation of power" by this communist coup is. The highest law of the land cannot be upheld, through the system, to remove the illegal occupiers from office, precisely because individual people fear to stick their necks out and defend the law.
This is a bad re-run of Communist takeovers of other nations. And it's not over yet.
Obama's good buddy, the communist Van Jones, is teamed up with Obama's political mentor, the communist terrorist William Ayers. They are training the Occupy people to engage in violent activities similar to what we have seen abroad recently, as in Greece, when the Left's power is challenged. Ayers helped train the mobs that overthrew Egypt and he's good at that game. These vicious Communists are preparing for the day the American People exert their Sovereign right to uphold their own Constitution via the 2nd Amendment.
Look how far the Leftists are pushing this nation. They're willing to destroy it without a shot fired, bankrupting us via the mechanisms of our own government, or through violence by sparking a civil war between Americans and the Leftists trying to hold on to power. Either way, if they can crash and burn the USA, the long-term goal is accomplished.
It is the doom of this nation that half the population is too stupid and ignorant to comprehend the danger of allowing Leftists anywhere near the reins of power. Too late. We are in for some interesting times.
However, the article stands on its own merits as a demonstration of the fact Obama is NOT legally President and he knows it. So do a whole lot of other people.
The first step in fixing the problem is to admit that there is a problem. This one will not be swept under the rug.
Any FReeper can verify for themselves that this debunked video of Obama you posted, supposedly stating he was born in Kenya, is jerky and discontinuous and/or his mouth is not visible speaking the incriminating words exactly at the moments when he supposedly says those words.
Yosemitest has also repeatedly also posted the debunked "Bomford" BC.
I am proud of my FR posting history which has been dedicated to examining verifiable forensic evidence about Barry.
America ? You didn't birth THAT !
See links at the following FR comment proving that the video at your link seeming to show Obama admitting a Kenyan birth was corrupted, a comment which you have already been pinged on:

I see no proof in that link.
The argument about the Obama video is pointless. Even if he spoke words claiming to be born in Kenya, that does not resolve the legal question and those words out of his mouth are not what would make him legally President or not.
The only thing that matters is the topic of this article - whether he meets the requirements for Natural Born Citizen.
Born to a foreign subject, Obama cannot legally be a Natural Born Citizen under the law, the same law applied in 2008 by the US Senate when confirming that John McCain is eligible. The law requires birth to American Citizens to qualify and has since 1790.
All the surrounding hearsay, even the question of "where" Obama was born, is just a distraction.
The US is now ruled by a communist coup and the "fundamental transformation" is underway.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is UNEP's most influential partner in sport and the environment.
The two organizations have worked together since 1994 to incorporate environmental issues into the world's biggest sporting event. UNEP is represented on the Sport and Environment Commission, which advises the IOC Executive Board on environmental matters relating to the Olympics.
Bringing environment into the Olympic Movement actually started two years earlier at the first UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when the United Nations adopted the Agenda 21 to encourage the global community to play an active part in the sustainable development of the planet. The Olympic Movement decided to act on the invitation and developed their own Agenda 21.

Sev year-old Bhram Guys from Belgium could be a gold-medal winner in men's high jump at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games. He is among 3,600 athletes aged 14-18, from across the world, competing for gold at the event being held in Singapore. However, besides being sports ambassadors, the athletes are also role models and mentors who can be powerful instruments for change in their native countries.
In recognition of their potential to influence an entire generation of young people, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will be educating talented young athletes at the Games on how they can contribute positively to sustainable development in their communities.
Theodore Oben, UNEP's Chief of Outreach said, "These Games are a fantastic opportunity for the athletes to truly engage on important environmental issues. UNEP will organise fun and interesting activities that will educate the youth on wide ranging issues, and encourage them to become environmental stewards."
Previous Conferences have been held in Torino in 2003, Nairobi, Kenya in 2005 and Beijing, China in October 2007. The partnership has also developed the biennial Global Forum for Sport and Environment, which brings together sport and environment stakeholders to recognize best practice in the field and to encourage sport organizations to do more for the environment. Previous Forums were held in Tokyo, Japan, Lahore, Pakistan and Lausanne, Switzerland.
In 1999, UNEP collaborated with the IOC in developing Agenda 21 for Sport and the Environment which is currently being implemented by members of the Olympic Family and by several other sport organizations.
In 2007, the President of the IOC, Mr. Jacques Rogge and the IOC received the UNEP "Champions of the Earth" award in recognition of President Rogge and the IOC's efforts to reinforce the environment in the Games.

Unfold protection.
Fenders are a blessing when the roads are wet. But, they can also be bulky, an eyesore, and a brittle, failure-prone accessory. While the cycling community has seen its share of fender innovation, most of these advancements have turned into novelty gimmicks.The lightweight Portland Design Works Origami Fender sports some innovation that actually works and adds to the fenders' versatility. The best thing about the Origami fender is its incredibly flexible construction. Don't need spray protection in the morning? No problem, just pull the Origami off, fold it up, stash it in your bag, and get on with your commute. The front mount uses a simple strap system that attaches to any traditional down tube without marring the finish, and the rear attaches to the seatpost via a 4mm adjustable cam.

Pretty legit fender
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I got this for my cyclocross bike that I use to commute to my other job at a local Emergency Department. I ordered 5 different fender sets to compare them and decide which one to keep. This one was the runner up. I ultimately ended up returning it only because the front fender mounts to the frame rather than the fork. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I really wanted one that mounted to the fork to ensure as much water protection for my feet as possible.
These fenders are super affordable, and easy to install. And they look really cool!
I ended up going with the sks raceblade fender's
Care to share which one you ended up going with? :)
It's one of perfect rear fender.
light weight, easy install and removal,good shape!!

The option available is for a "front fender", but the rear fender is pictured. Can you verify which one is for sale?
I get the impression that you used to be able to order both from this page, so the rear one is pictured, but all that's left in stock is the front (not pictured for some reason), so if you order the "Front" that's what you'll get, regardless of the picture.

Republicans to kill DP World deal
Determined not to be outmaneuvered on security by Democrats, influential Republicans have decided to defy President George Bush and kill the DP World takeover of operations at some U.S. ports.
What's at issue now is not whether or not the deal poses any kind of real security threat. What is at issue is how the deal is perceived by voters.
A Fox News poll whose results were released March 2 found 69 percent of Americans opposed allowing DP World to manage commercial operations at some U.S. ports. In terms of party affiliations, 81 percent of Democrats, 66 percent of independents and 57 percent of Republicans were opposed to the deal.
With this being an election year, opposing the DP World deal thus becomes a no-brainer for most politicians.
All that's in question now is how the deal will be killed.
Today, the influential Washington newspaper The Hill says that "House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.) is expected to offer an amendment to the emergency supplemental spending bill that his committee will mark up today that would block the deal before the administration completes its 45-day investigation."
You can read the language of the amendment offered by Chairman Lewis here: http://appropriations.house.gov/_files/PortAmendLang.pdf

The Eldorado High School volleyball team knocked off Sesser-Valier in three sets Tuesday night, winning the first set 25-21, while falling in the second set 20-15. The Eagles rebounded for a 25-19 third set victory over the Red Devils.
Tuesday night was also senior night for Eldorado's three seniors in Erica Graczyk, Kourtney Phillips and Sadie Steed.
"I'm so glad that the seniors could play their last home game and come out with a win," head coach Lisa Craig said. "They have lead our team all season, they will be missed when the season is over."
Graczyk finished 16-for-20 on spikes with 11 kills and went 12-for-14 on serves with five aces, while finishing 2-for-2 on blocks with one kill. Phillips finished 12-for-15 on spikes with four kills, while going 12-for-14 on serves with 11 points, two aces and one block. Steed went 12-for-13 on spikes with four kills and 5-for-9 from the service line with nine points.
Abby Steed was 7-for-8 on spikes with one kill and finished 12-for-13 on serves with 13 points and seven aces, while Mary Mitchell had four aces to go along with a 10-for-13 performance from the serving line with 14 points. Mitchell was nearly flawless on sets, going 45-for-47 with one spike.
"Our serving was excellent tonight with 21 aces in the three games," Craig said.
Dresdyn Bramlett was 8-for-11 on spikes with one kill and 9-for-11 on serves with 12 points and two aces. Katrina Beaumont had nine digs for Eldorado.
The Eagles return to action Monday night when they take on Carmi-White County in the first round of the IHSA Class A Regional at Edwards County, starting at 6 p.m.

In a recently released legal memorandum (CCA 201246030), the IRS Office of Chief Counsel concluded that the exclusion from the section 199 domestic manufacturing deduction for repackaging and labelling activities does not apply to a taxpayer that repackages and labels pills that it did not manufacture because the taxpayer engaged in other eligible manufacturing, production, growing, or extraction (MPGE) activities by virtue of its manufacture of the blister packs containing the pills.
This CCA clarifies that the application of the exclusion does not apply to a taxpayer that performs MPGE activities other than packaging and labelling. The CCA should have equal applicability outside the facts of the CCA to any taxpayer that, in addition to repackaging or labelling property, performs other eligible MPGE activities.

By SHERON BEYERSCody, Wyo.
So, if the government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be taken out of the pledge to our flag, and "In God We Trust" off our money, then "so be it."
And if that same government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, "so be it."
And since they already have prohibited any prayer in the schools, on which they deem their authority, then, "so be it."
I say "so be it" because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen.
I say "so be it" because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think that those people have the American publics best interests at heart.
But, you know what else I'd like to see?
Since we cannot pray to God (schools), can't trust in God and cannot post His commandments in government buildings, I don't believe the government and its employees, or any public schools, should participate in Easter, Christmas, Good Friday, or Thanksgiving celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving and Easter. After all "it's just another day."
I'd like the supreme court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving and Easter. After all "it's just another day."
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives not to have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas break." After all "it's just another day."
I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved if all government offices and services, public school, being open on Christmas, and no two week vacation for school children in public schools, Good Friday, Easter, with no one week vacation for public school children, and Thanksgiving with no four day holiday for government and public schools. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a public school and government system that is trying to be "politically correct."
In fact, I think that our government and all public schools should work and be open on Sundays (initially set aside for worshiping God) because the schools and the government says that it should be, "just another day."
What do you think?
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our schools and our elected officials will stop giving in to the minority opinions and begin, once again, to represent the majority of all the American people. "So be it..."Please Dear Lord, give us the help needed to keep You in our country. In Jesus' name, amen and amen.
These are definitely things I never thought about, but from now on I will be sure to question those in government who support these changes.

SAN ANTONIO — R.C. Buford, the San Antonio Spurs general manager who has played such an under-appreciated role in this historic run, was reflecting on their whole glorious time together.
Larry Brown. David Robinson. Avery Johnson. The famed trio of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili, and everything they had accomplished. But when the stories went from past tense to present, when Buford was asked the question about what happens when this Gregg Popovich-Tim Duncan led core rides off into the sunset together, it came as no surprise that Buford's poetic waxings suddenly stopped.
"Why are we talking about this?" he said with a laugh.
Buford knows the answer to his own question, of course: Because that time is coming sometime soon.
It may be this summer, or it may be the next, but the mood of the moment in the Spurs world is more nostalgic than ever because of it. They have a special chance to add to an already-incredible legacy Sunday, when they can close out the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat that they currently lead 3-1. No team has ever recovered from such a deficit in the Finals, meaning the smart money is on San Antonio earning its fifth championship since 1999 while exacting sweet revenge on the team that ousted them a year ago.
GAME 5: Do the Heat have any tricks left for the Spurs?
BORIS DIAW: How once-cut player became Finals star
To that reflective end, Buford — who joined the Spurs as a scout in 1994 and became general manager in 2002 — indulged the small gathering of media members who wondered what this had all been like for him. His players are asked every day about the nightmare of last June and what it did to their competitive psyche. His coach speaks often about how how it drove them at every turn during this regular season in which they recovered to post the league's best record. Buford stayed in the background as he always does, hoping the roster that he built with Popovich would find a way to make those memories disappear.
"I think we're still in the mourning period," Buford admitted. "It's not a time that begins and ends."
It was a lesson learned the hard way that will most certainly be on all of their minds Sunday night.
"I don't know that (the 2013 Finals) left any of our minds, but ... it's not what we do or why we do it," Buford said. "We're trying to put our best team together. Those guys are being thrust into the moment more often than we are, but our commitment to this group doesn't change because of last year. Our commitment is to put the best team we can together with them, for them, and it's fun to see them play well and have success."
Buford remains one of the most underrated executives in the league, which is why it was so roundly celebrated when he won his first Executive of the Year award in early May. The lack of appreciation is mostly in the public specter, as his peers know the significant part he played in the Spurs' near-impeccable track record.
But for all the master strokes that they've pulled off with this roster — from drafting Manu Ginobili 57th overall in 1999 (when he first became vice president/assistant general manager and Popovich was general manager) to landing Tony Parker 28th overall in 2001 to taking the calculated risk of trading George Hill for Kawhi Leonard on draft night in 2011 — Buford knows like the rest of them that losing Duncan and Popovich will be devastating. Or, as Buford put it, numbing. Not that he'll be around to see it.
"Who says I'll be walking into this building?" Buford joked when asked what it would feel like to enter the practice facility without Duncan and Popovich there. "There have been worse ideas (than leaving with them), like showing back up."
HEAT FUTURE: LeBron gets a grim look in Game 4 blowout
GAME 5 SPREAD: Heat historic underdogs in San Antonio
His earnest perspective was far less funny. Duncan has a player option for next season worth $10.3 million, and he continues to indicate that he's too focused on the moment to decide whether he'll return. Popovich, meanwhile, said on Saturday that he'd be just fine returning for next season but has always indicated that he'll head for the exits when Duncan retires. Parker is still just 32 years old, but Ginobili could call it a career soon as well and has just one year remaining on his contract ($7 million).
"Well I think we're always considering (that future)," Buford said. "I don't know that you'll know what the opportunity is (then). Hopefully you've built your program to be as flexible as it can be at the time that opportunities are created. But I can't predict when that will happen, nor know. When you have one of the great players of all time and one of the great coaches of all time, knowing how you're going to fill those shoes (is impossible) because you're not.
"It will be numbing and changing. Those are the people who we've come to work with and battle with, committed ourselves to as they've committed to the rest of us. And that will be hard."
Leonard is widely seen as the one who will lead the next Spurs generation when Duncan retires, and it's highly likely that the small forward will be locked in for the long-term this offseason when he is eligible for an extension. The move that brought this quiet and tenacious 22-year-old to San Antonio may wind up being the crowning achievement of Buford's tenure, as the decision to swap him for Hill with the Indiana Pacers was the rare instance in which this tight-knit Spurs group didn't come to a collective conclusion.
Hill (drafted 26th in 2008 by the Spurs) spent his first three seasons in San Antonio and carved out a significant role. He played well enough that he was seen as a possible replacement for Parker, yet then found himself serving a much different purpose when he netted the Spurs this two-way terror from San Diego State in Leonard. As Buford shared, there was serious concern that stemmed from Popovich on down.
"It felt like we were going to get our ass chewed because we just traded the coach's favorite player," Buford said with a laugh. "Tim, Tony and Manu, those guys had a really strong alignment with George. They'd been through a lot together, and there was concern for them, not only that they were losing a great friend but also a great teammate. So the trust that that group allowed us to make that move — because we don't do that without including them. That trust was vital to them saying, 'OK, we don't like this, but we'll frickin' see.' "
We'll see, alright. We'll see if Leonard's rise can continue with a close-out win in Game 5. We'll see if the slowest of Spurs' sunsets is finally over or if Duncan and Popovich decide to give it yet another go. What we aren't likely to see, no matter how this ends, is another run that's as unique, as sustained and as successful as theirs.

Love them
"I love these shoes, but they are a little floppy on me so I will have to return them. They fit perfectly size wise, but the heal area is a little floppy for me.Other than that, these shoes are great."

Great shoes!
"Shoes were true to size and comfortable on the whole. They dig in just a little on the top of the foot if worn while doing a lot of walking, but I have a feeling continuous wear will help with that. I'd love to have them in every color!"

Not what I expected
"I so wanted to love this shoe--so much that I purchased three pair in different colors. I had to return all of them. The fabric was stiff with very little give making the material cut into my foot. I went up a size and had the same experience. I gave up & returned them."

Far In The Heavens is comprised of recently composed and previously unrecorded works by Stephen Paulus, including two works that were commissioned and premiered by True Concord Voices & Orchestra: The Incomprehensible for their fifth anniversary season in 2009, and Prayers and Remembrances for the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 tragedy in 2011. GRAMMY®-award winning producer Peter Rutenberg of Los Angeles produced the album, and Mr. Paulus supervised the recording in Tucson, Arizona. Tragically, Stephen Paulus suffered a major stroke just six weeks after recording the album. He never recovered, and passed away in October 2014 after being in a coma for more than a year.
Prayers and Remembrances (2011) was commissioned for the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy by True Concord Voices & Orchestra, Eric Holtan, Music Director, and Mrs. Dorothy Vanek, in loving memory of her husband, Robert Vanek, and in memory of friends of the Vaneks from United and American Airlines who were lost on September 11, 2001.
The idea for Prayers and Remembrances began with Eric Holtan. He approached me a few years back with a vision of writing a commemorative work for chorus and orchestra. We had several discussions and emails, especially about the text, and eventually, with the commission in place, I was ready to begin.
My concern was to write a work that would not only honor the 9/11 tragedy and all those who perished, but also one that would address the memories, the grieving and the recovery for anyone dealing with a circumstance in which loved ones had perished. Early on, Eric and I decided we wanted to create a work that would be spiritual but not necessarily religious. The goal was to find a combination of poems that were both secular and sacred—from poets who addressed grief, recovery, and a spiritual focus in life—that would highlight common beliefs across distinct religious traditions. I ended up with a healthy mix of poets from different cultures, centuries and faiths.
The orchestra is approximately the size of the Mozart Requiem (since that was to be the companion work on the concert), with the addition of flute, oboe, horns, harp, and percussion.My approach was to use the orchestra to adorn and emphasize the text. I consider the words such an important part to a piece like this, and my intention, as always, was to make sure the choir could be heard without being overwhelmed by the orchestra.
Throughout the work I have been conscious of trying to bring melodic and harmonic ideas to the fore that would suggest hope, light and a future. To me, this seems to be the hardest thing to accept in any tragedy, whether it involves one person or thousands. So there are sometimes bright, colorful harmonies or melodies in both the orchestra and the chorus: this is not a work meant to wallow in self-pity or dwell in tragedy. I am hopeful that the sounds and words meld, going at least some distance towards repair and healing.
I am so grateful to True Concord Voices & Orchestra and their wonderful director, Eric Holtan, for asking me to create a work for the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. I hope this piece will have reason to be performed in other situations. And I am especially grateful to Dorothy Vanek for her generosity in commissioning the work. Without patrons and wonderful performers, composers would simply be artists working alone, like a tree falling in the forest when no one is around to hear it. —Stephen Paulus

This is the third installment of a monthly series of stories on the work of American composer Stephen Paulus. The previous stories were on Pilgrims' Hymn and The Road Home.
I grew up watching and listening to my Dad compose music on the grand piano in our family house. Over the years, memories of what pieces he was working on start to blend together, but a few stand out. One of those is To Be Certain of the Dawn. My Dad approached writing this piece with a particularly deep level of compassion and empathy that made an impression on me even as a young teenager at the time. The connection between Stephen, his long-time collaborator and librettist Michael Dennis Browne, and Father Michael O'Connell from the Basilica of St. Mary who commissioned this work was particularly strong throughout the entire process. They all seemed to profoundly understand the importance of this piece and its potential impact. Given the tremendous energy that went towards bringing this piece to life it has been wonderful to see it receive over 20 additional performances across the world since its premiere by The Minnesota Orchestra and conductor Osmo Vänskä in 2005.
Stephen did not get a chance to write a personal reflection on this piece, but below is a video interview with Stephen and Michael taken in 2011 as well as note from the librettist, and a video of a recent performance by the Corvallis-OSU Symphony and OSU Chamber Choir. For those on the west coast, there will be two performances this weekend from San Diego State University Symphony Orchestra on Saturday April 25th (tickets here) and the Festival Chorale Oregon on Sunday, April 26th (tickets here).
-Andrew Paulus
This oratorio was commissioned by Fr. Michael O'Connell, rector of the Basilica of Saint Mary, and intended as a gift from the Christian community to the Jewish community. The first performance was at the Basilica in November 2005, a year which marked the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of the death camps and the fortieth anniversary of the Vatican document Nostra Aetate (In Our Time), which had much to do with the renewal of dialogue between Jews and Christians. The twentieth and twenty-first performances of the work are being held in San Diego and Salem, Oregon, in the month of April.
In Part One (Renewal), we hear from the chorus Christian grief at their failure to support Jews in the terrible ordeal of the Shoah and for many centuries of "the teaching of contempt." We hear their desire for teshuvah—repentance, atonement, a return to the spiritual roots of their faith in Judaism. We also hear four blessings sung by the children: this is an example of the impulse to praise God, daily, frequently, even while storm clouds are gathering. We also hear from the cantor the Sh'ma and phrases from the Kaddish, as well as the introduction of the recurring theme "You should love your neighbor as yourself."
In Part Two (Remembrance), the soloists sing dramatizations of four photographs taken from Roman Vishniac's book Children of a Vanished World—glimpses of what Geoffrey Hartman calls "a vanished life in its vigor." The chorus continues with more expressions of Christian remorse together with a wish to "grow and be known by our love." We also hear quotation from the Nuremberg laws of the 1903s with their inhuman constrictions upon Jewish life. The section concludes with Hymn to the Eternal Flame, which is based on the children's memorial of multiple reflected flames at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.
In Part Three (Visions), several themes are woven: the desire for Jews and Christians to walk together in solidarity of interfaith in "the country of justice," however scarred the world; divine promises as revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures; quotations taken from interviews with three Minnesota-based survivors and the daughter of one survivor. At the conclusion, both choruses, together with the cantor, sing "You should love your neighbor as yourself" in Hebrew, and we hear the sound of the shofar, with which the work began.
-Michael Dennis Browne
