Skip to comments.Fox News Declares Ted Cruz Ineligible To Be POTUS Due To Birth In Canada [American Mother]
Posted on 03/09/2013 8:04:06 AM PST by Cold Case Posse Supporter
Now we are finally getting somewhere. Just like Obama is ineligible technically because his fathers British Nationality 'governed' his birth status in 1961, Ted Cruz is ineligible too. Fox News has confirmed it and rightly so. Sean Hannity made a huge blunder the other day and declared Ted Cruz a natural born citizen because he was born to a American mother in Canada. He was so wrong. Cruz is a 14th Amendment U.S. 'statutory' (not natural born) citizen which is something completely different than a Article 2 Section 1 Constitutional natural born Citizen which is explicitly designed only for the presidency by the framers.
It is not part of the US Constitution.
Let me see if I understand. John McCain, a child of two U.S. citizens, born in Panama because his father was an admiral in the U.S. Navy and there due to orders, would not be eligible to be president?
LOL You're working this thing aren't you?
John McCain was born in what was a U.S. unincorporated territory. His citizenship derives from his parents, both U.S. citizens, and from the statutory U.S. citizenship granted by Congress. He is not, however, a Natural born Citizen and has never been eligible to be President.
Sorry Longbow, you're mistaken.
Ever heard of it?
Look, this entire NBC thing is not the cornerstone of America.
George Washington was not a NBC a she was born in Popes Creek which was at the time a British holding.
How the **** could he be a naturalized citizen when the country it self had yet to be born?
The closest definition we have to the founders was the Naturalization Act of 1790 which stated that "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". (Act to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization, 1st Congress, 2nd session, March 26, 1790, 1 Stat.L. 103 at 104, 2 Laws of the U.S., ed. Bioren & Duane (1815) 82 at 83.)
It has been interpreted and reinterpreted by various laws and court decisions ever since, with people on various sides of the issues clinging to whatever interpretation that suits their point. This one is the closest to the founders as it was in part written by Madison and other founders who were in congress at the time.
If FReepers can't even agree on the interpretation of this issue, we shouldn't expect any legal traction out of it.
1. Unless and until Obama submits to unbiased DNA testing we will never know who the actual father was. The VERY best BET at this time is Frank Marshall Davis,...but without definitive proof we're all just guessing.
2. If Marshall was his real father then he is a Natural Born Citizen under anyone's interpretation of any statute.
3. If he actually is a Natural Born citizen then he was and is eligible to be POTUS
4. The question then becomes did this marxist fraud claim that he was a 'foreign' student to gain admission to U.S. colleges and to receive preferential treatment, grants, and tuition plus room and board allowances he WAS NOT ENTITLED TO!??????? I have no idea on the statute of limitations on fraud and mail fraud.
5. If he was the actual son of Barack Obama Senior then he his NOT eligible to be POTUS under any scenario. Period.
Why is Ted Cruz the only hope?
Rand is a decent and good quirky fellow, but you are correct.
Cruz is focused and dangerous.
Because breach of the law is not binding precedent. True, over the course of time, a law can be so completely ignored that it has no practical effect. For example, it is against the law to play cards on Sunday in Alabama. Good luck getting that one enforced. But it is still valid law.
And that's the point. "Rule of law" means we treat everyone equally under the law and don't make exceptions except by legal means (amending the Constitution, for example). I am not taking a position on the Cruz eligibility question. What I am saying is it delegitimizes all our lofty claims to be upset over Obama's flagrant disregard of the law we say we cherish, if we turn around ourselves and disregard that same law for one of our own. That is devolving to a nation of men, not laws, and such lawlessness is the taproot of tyranny.
THANK YOU!... and well said!
Let's assume that we are in a Constitutional crisis over the Punk's eligibility. Will the crisis deepen if Cruz, who was born to an American citizen, is elected? Positively not. If Americans elect him, I'll be very proud to call him President. Bob
Yeah, but Canada is sort of America-Lite, except for Quebec.
"Fox is in bed with someone, who is not on that list."
Karl Rove.
Amen Brother. Amen.
Because we aren't crooked Democrats. The law is the law. I don't even know if this is all accurate, I'm too lazy to go look up the birth date and read the laws definition of "natural born" at that time. If he gets nominated to run for President, I'll take the time and do the homework. But, if he doesn't fit the description, then he is not eligible. Pretty simple.
Sheesh! Read the Constitution! George Washington was grandfathered in!
If his mother was a citizen and his father was a citizen, then he is a natural born citizen. We conservatives have played this game with citizenship logic so much that this should be obvious. Instead, we end up with the absurd.
I can't find his father's name, but it appears the dad came to the US from Cuba in 1957. Cruz was born in 1970, so that gave the dad 13 years to gain US citizenship. His mother was born an American.
Cruz was born in Alberta Canada, and as far as I can tell, unless his parents renounced their US citizenship while there, then Ted Cruz is a natural born US citizen.
By the way I'm a Natural Born Citizen and if you elect me POTUS I'll put Obama, Biden, his entire cabinet and czars, and Pelosi and reid in federal prison. So vote for me!
How many otherwise qualified children of people in the military or in missionary service would be ineligible for the Presidency?
If he were born on base, then some people feel that yes, he would be a natural born citizen.
If he were born elsewhere, then he would be a citizen, not a natural born citizen.
However, if we use the currently popular standard for natural born citizenship, then McCain would have also been a natural born citizen of Panama, just as many say an anchor baby or a child born here to illegal aliens is also a natural born citizen.
These days? As they used to say in the 70s while slowly exhaling, "It's whatever you want it to be, man. Whatever you want it to be." Onward through the fog!
He isn't. But Sarah Palin is though.
Is that you Ron Ely?
Not to mention unfit.
I recall when my sis was born in Ramstein in the early 60's and we learned in school that she was eligible to be P. It was a very big deal back then.
If both parents are US citizens (US passport holders only, not dual citizens) then the child is a natural born US citizen regardless of where the child was born. McCain is a NBC.
Thanks Cold Case Posse Supporter.
Thank you Chaplain. I was trying to bring a little levity to this inane conversation by saying C-Section babies weren't "natural born". You however, have managed to inject a little sober truth to the discussion that probably wont do anything to those who don't want their closed minds to be confused with facts. I think it is time for the Cadillac Open on TV. Have a good day.
I should have mentioned I learned that in on base school in Ramstein, not a regular school
There is no such paperwork that refers to a born citizen becoming a "native born citizen." Why? Because there is NO distinction between a born citizen and a "NBC". There only born citizens and naturalized citizens.
It continues to amaze me that both parties have such difficulty in finding a single candidate born in the U.S.A. of parents who are also citizens!
Sheesh! I figure over 90 percent of Americans fit that bill. And, the parties can't find enough people from that pool to run for Prez???
No wonder our government is so screwed up; they're all a bunch of foreigners, LOL!
You do not have to be born in the US to be a NBC.
You simply have to be born without citizenship to any other country except the US.
The NBC requirement to be president was manly done as a way to prevent war like the wars that had taken place in Europe for centuries as the ruler of one country laid clam to another country simply because of their "birth right".
No president of this country could ever make the claim to another country as his "birth right".
That's incorrect. The following text is from The State Department's Foreign Affairs Manual.
c. Birth on U.S. Military Base Outside of the United States or Birth on U.S. Embassy or Consulate Premises Abroad:
(1) Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to U.S. jurisdiction and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth.
You have my vote LOL
"If he wants to run for President, the Senate will extend to him the same courtesy they did McCain and pass a resolution declaring him eligible."
The Senate explicitly deemed McCain eligible based on:
1. having TWO US citizen parents and
2. on his father being US military on active duty and
3. the Panama Canal being pseudo-US territory.
None of these three distinguishing facts regarding McCain apply to Cruz.
Whether Democrats object to Cruz's eligibility will depend on whether Barry is found to have been born in Kenya sometime before the 2016 election.
If proved to have been born in Kenya, Barry would have similar eligibility status as Cruz: born on foreign soil having only one US citizen parent, the mother, although Cruz's mom met the residence prior to birth requirement to pass US citizenship, while SADO did not.
Barry's legal defense team and the Congressional Research Offiece have already cited the case Marguet-Pillado in the 9th Circus to justify NBC status for any person having a mere biological tie to a US citizen at birth, so Cruz supporters in the GOP would be expected to embrace this dubious legal lower court precedent as well:
In support of the opinion in US v Marguet-Pillado, 9th Cir. 2011, Judge Gwin, writing for the majority in his III Analysis dicta, states: No one disputes that Marguet-Pillados requested instruction was an accurate statement of the law, in that it correctly stated the two circumstances in which an individual born in 1968 is a natural-born United States citizen: (1) that the person was born in the United States or (2) born outside the United States to a biologically-related United States citizen parent who met certain residency requirements. On March 1, Sheriff Arpaios Posse re-opened the possibility that Obama was born in Kenya by announcing that it had found probable cause to believe that Obamas long form birth certificate was forged, newspaper birth announcements were unreliable, and that there was now no proof that Obama was born in the USA. A week earlier, with full knowledge of what the Arpaio Posses findings would be, constitutional scholar Obamas legal team suddenly started citing the Marguet-Pillado case in multiple PA and GA ballot eligibility state appeals. The following language is included by Obamas lawyers in the PA and GA MTD filings: President Obama was a United States citizen from the moment of his birth inHawaii. Since he held citizenship from birth, all Constitutional qualifications have beenmet. Ankeny v. Governor of State of Indiana, 916 N.E.2d 678 (Ind. App., 2009); see,United States v. Marguet-Pillado , 648 F.3d 1001, 1006 (9thCir., 2011). There is no basis to question the Presidents citizenship or qualifications to hold office. www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2011/08/.../10-50041.pdf
Like I said in my earlier post. Please point to case law or the writings of the Founding Fathers that support your definition of Natural Born Citizen.
Please also explain the other Presidents (IE Not including OBama) who failed to live up to your standards of Natural Born Citizen.
Well, other than the crimes he committed in perpetrating this massive hoax in order to get elected.
That is a law that needs fixin.
My question was to make Freepers think. Too many get fixed on one person to save us all. I know better. I have been here a while.
Canadians are Americans.
LOL! Tell that to every SCOTUS that has mentioned the phrase "Natural Born" in their rulings. They admit that there is such a thing as a Natural Born Citizen, but are reticent to define exactly what it is.
What part of the Constitution states that a person must be a "breath of fresh air" to be eligible for POTUS? Don't get me wrong, but "breath of fresh air" is not the eligibility test.
That is just unethical.
So If Pa and Ma are in the service of the country and sacrifice comfort and prosperity to serve the country, their offspring are penalized?
That just aint American.
Or at the very least it should not be American.
I would continue to push Cruz. Lets see how the Democrats react. If the Democrats set a precedent with Obama, I dont see why we should undermine Cruz.
Cruz should be used in this manner to shove the Obama is Ineligible FACT way down the liberal throats in the media, we should call them the pejorative "Birthers" for a change!!!

Rochester Professor Feels Heat for Backing Rush
Please enter your comments below.
Not a First Amendment issue.
He can say really stupid misogynistic things and not face legal jeopardy. He cannot say really stupid misogynistic things and not reveal himself as a really stupid, Limbaughesque misogynist. He's probably in the closet anyway like most of Limbaugh's idiot worshipers. BTW why is that pig still polluting our airwaves? DUMP HIM WBEN
Seligman the classic liberal
Not surprised to read RU president misrepresent your open view point with his obvious biased liberal one. Refreshing to read Mr. Landsburg has an open mind to both sides. Sad to see people like Mr Seligman with so much power and influence get a free pass to spread his toxic ideology.
Go figure
The GOP declares open war on women, then immediately whine that all the victims of their aggression are men. Nice going once again, wingnuts.
Not a First Amendment Issue=Not a clue
"He's probably in the closet anyway..." wow -Way to class up your argument(by argument I mean your hate-filled uninformative rant). I am sure they LGBT community appreciates your derogatory nature. Hypocrite much? I bet in your mind free speech only applies to OWS. If you don't like Limbaugh or what someone says...don't listen.
Please, Enough Lib Views
I'm sick of listening to all the righteous lib views. They've done a great job of helping take this country into the gutter. It's OK when they use obscenities on a conservative, but when a conservative speaks his /her mind they suddenlydecide it's time to get on their horse & preach. The student that spoke to congress, pays 45 to 50 thousand a year for tuition. Now we're suppose to pay for her sex life??
Well, what did you expect?
Yhe proper thing for Landsburg to do is to apologize to the whole world then go out to the parking lot and set himself on fire.
To Please, Enough Lib Views
If you just want lies that reinforce your misinformed worldview, you just keep on listening to Rush and Fox "News" and they'll maintain your illusions for you. They're well paid to tell you lies.
RE Not a clue
"I bet in your mind free speech only applies to OWS." Free speech applies to all Americans; so do the consequences of saying stupid, hateful things like your boy Rush does each and every day.
Seligman should stay out of politics
Mr. Selgiman should worry about his own students and stop worrying about another at a different college. I highly doubt he is "outraged" over what's happened to her. The only thing he is outraged about is that he doesn't agree with Mr. Landsburg's views. So he issues a statement, for no apparent reason, worse yet, a statement that misrepresents what Mr. Landsburg is saying at that. Mr. Landsburg is qualified to speak on such issues and makes a valid point-- and VERY clearly states he does not condone using such language. Mr. Seligman should stop causing problems for his school and students and get back to work.

|In response to Re: dripping frostproof water faucet
Thanks alot Ed. for your help, that fixed it.
: Chris,
: You did not mention the manufaturer but the fix will be similar. You probably have a bad washer, following is some info for Mansfield.
: Mansfield puts out two kits, one #630-7500 to repair the anti-syphon valve, for around $3.00 and the other #630-7755 to rebuild the rest of seals and washer for around $7.00. They should be available at most plumbing supply houses, etc.
: Many times a quick repair for a leak around the anti-syphon cap, is to pry off the plastic cap with a screw driver, being careful not to break it. Work a little from two sides until it pops off. You can then unscrew, counter clockwise, the bonnet (valve retainer) with a pair of plyers. Clean any crud from under the bonnet, which acts like a washer seat. You will find a plunger assembly, clean and reverse the washer in the assembly. Re-assemble the parts you just removed. Tighten the bonnet firmly. Snap the cap back on. With a little of luck you will get many years of additional service before needing a repair kit.
: : My frostproof water faucet is dripping. It can't be turned off by tightening the handle. Any suggestions as to how to stop dripping? Thanks

Tumors in the central nervous system, whether they're located in the brain or spinal cord, typically are referred to as brain tumors. These tumors are among the most common types of cancer in children, and they occur when there is abnormal growth of cells. Anyone can develop a brain tumor, but children need pediatric specialists because of the types of tumors, how they respond to treatment and the long-term side effects of treatment.
Below are some of the types of brain tumors we treat:
Children diagnosed with a brain tumor often have complex needs in addition to cancer care. Patients may develop other health problems related to the tumor, surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Children's Hospital of Wisconsin provides families with support from a team of many different specialists to manage these problems.
Our experts understand that a personal touch matters. The team meets weekly to discuss patients' care, creating individual treatment plans to manage all of his or her health care needs. Your child's diagnosis may feel overwhelming, but we'll work with you to decide the best treatment for your child. We take pride in providing state-of-the-art care with a compassionate approach.
Our patients benefit from access to advanced capabilities such as:
Together, our brain and spinal cord program specialists are dedicated to giving patients and families the education, resources and support they need. From neurosurgery to rehabilitation, our doctors, researchers and many other pediatric-trained specialists provide integrated, comprehensive care for children with brain and spinal tumors.
Michael Kelly, MD, PhD, leads the cancer team.

Spartan girls team
Last week the Emery High Lady Spartans finished the first half of the region season with a perfect 5-0 record as they administered a 53-21 defeat to Wasatch Academy after they had already traveled to Moab and defeated Grand High by the score of 64-51. And then the season suffered a setback when the Spartan team played Carbon for the second time this season and this time the Lady Dinos avenged their earlier loss with a thrashing of the visiting Spartan team by the score of 52-36.
The Dinos outscored Emery in the first quarter by a score of 19-10 and then unlike prior games when Emery has responded well to being down, this time Emery lost every quarter. The Lady Spartan starters only scored 16 points in the game as the starters had a rough time getting anything going against the aggressive defense being played by the Lady Dinos. Hannah Dyer scored 8, Ashlynn Allred scored 7 and Kelsie Cox scored 1, as Emery was unable to pierce the Dino defense.
Sophomore Camrey Johnson was the bright spot for the Spartans as she came off the bench, shot the ball without fear and without hesitation and scored 15 points to lead the team in scoring but Camrey also led the team with 2 rebounds and 3 steals. That is a problem when the leading rebounder in the books has only two rebounds. Camrey was 6 for 7 from the field for shooting while the rest of the team was 4 for 17. Emery also had 17 turnovers in the game.
The only other Spartans two score in the game were Emily Olsen with 4 points and Patyn Jeffs with 1 point. Emery was outscored 10-9 in the second quarter, 10-7 in the third and 13-10 in the final period.
But fortunately the Carbon game is a non-region game and really only counts as a reminder to the players to keep working hard to get to the playoffs in great shape.
Against Grand, Emery outscored their opponent 23-3 in the first quarter and then cruised easily to the region road win. Bailey Rasmussen scored 18 points in the paint in the game to pace the team to the win. Rasmussen also pulled down 12 rebounds to lead the team.
Also scoring in this game were Dyer with 15 points, Ashton Bell, Cassidy Labrum and Kambrie Hinkins with 5 points each, Ashlynn Allred and Emily Olsen with 4 points each, Patyn Jeffs with 3 points and Lexie Huntington with 2 points. Emery was outscored 48-41 over the final three periods.
Against Wasatch Academy, Emery easily won every quarter in cruising to the all-too-easy region victory. The first period was won 9-2, the second quarter was won 12-5, the third quarter was won 16-8 and the final period was won 16-6. Emery had 10 different players score in the game led by Allred's 14 points. Allred is recovering from an ankle injury.
Also scoring in the game were Rasmussen with 9 points, Dyer with 6 points, Jeffs and Labrum scored 5 points, Johnson and Cox with 4 points each and Olsen, Huntington and Hinkins with 2 points each. Emery has a single game this week as the team will travel to San Juan Thursday afternoon and evening to play the Broncos.
Spartan boys team
Last week, the Emery High Spartan boys basketball team traveled to Mount Pleasant to face the number one ranked Wasatch Academy. They returned home with an 82-39 shellacking by the host team. One can see from the score why Wasatch Academy is favored to repeat as the 2-A state champion again this season.
But to do justice to this story, we need to look at who Wasatch Academy really is. The school is more than 100 years old and is actually a college preparatory school that has turned out some great alumni.
The school has between 300-400 hundred students that pay upwards of $50,000 annually to attend this school. The school does a good job of educating the students that go to the school and the school has students from many foreign countries plus they come from over half of the states of this country. This is a boarding school.
Unlike public schools, this school and other private schools in the state can and do recruit students to come to this particular school and to bring their talents there to enhance the school. Emery and other rural schools play the students that live there now and have probably lived their entire lives in this school districtd. Wasatch Academy goes out into the world and brings back enough players to stock their program.
Last week Emery valiantly played the host team but the game was over shortly after it started. The Spartans were down 15-4 after the first quarter and 43-14 at the half. The second half was just a little better but really not much as Emery struggled and Wasatch Academy pretty much did whatever they wanted to do.
Senior Gavin McDermott was the lone bright spot statistically as he scored around 21 points and pulled down double digit rebounds.
Wasatch Academy had four starters score in double figures and the same four also pulled down double digit rebounds. Here are the official stats for Wasatch. Alex Baptist with 14 points and 11 rebounds, Cody John with 21 points and 18 rebounds, Koby McEwen with 19 points and 13 rebounds and finally Geno Luzcendo with 10 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists and 9 steals.
Wasatch Academy has beaten two of the top five 4-A schools in this state this year plus the best 3-A team in the state. They are a great team and after last week's play shows, they will be hard to handle in the 2-A ranks.
Emery will continue region play this week with games at home against Grand on Wednesday and against San Juan on Friday.

There is a small community in Arkansas that sits on the Arkansas River named Toad Suck. It is near Conway. In 1982, Conway began holding a festival to raise money for scholarships to help local students further their education. Over the years the festival has raised over $500,000 for local students to attend Central Baptist College, Hendrix College, University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton, and the University of Central Arkansas. CBC, Hendrix, and UCA are all colleges located in Conway, Arkansas. (photo credit) The festival is the first weekend of May (this year May 2-4th).
What does "Toad Suck" mean anyway?
Well, The answer is quite simple...
Long ago, steamboats traveled the Arkansas River when the water was at the right depth. When it wasn't, the captains and their crew tied up to wait where the Toad Suck Lock and Dam now spans the river. While they waited, they refreshed themselves at the local tavern there, to the dismay of the folks living nearby, who said: "They suck on the bottle 'til they swell up like toads." Hence, the name Toad Suck. The tavern is long gone, but the legend and fun live on at Toad Suck Daze.
The festival has grown to include multiple sports events: basketball, golf, 5K/10K, bicycling, and softball. There are free music concerts. This year some of the bands featured are: Hwy 5, Riverbilly, Blake Shelton , Ben Coulter, Culpepper Mountain Band, FreeVerse, KickBack, The Blue Meanies, Shaw Blades .
Each year they sell T-shirts (photo credit), lots of food and craft vendors, and there are toad races. This year as in the past few years there has been some difficulty finding the toads (don't confuse them with frogs). The article below may help explain why the numbers are decreasing.
There is a nice article on Amphibians (frogs, salamanders, and others) slipping into oblivion in Defenders (a conservation magazine of Defenders of Wildlife). You can read it online here. The photo below is of a female marsupial frog and her offspring (credit) and is from the article. The article states that amphibians are the most threatened group of animals in the world.

Picturing Takings
Lee Anne Fennell
University of Chicago - Law School
March 15, 2012
Notre Dame Law Review, Vol. 88, p. 57, 2012
University of Chicago Institute for Law & Economics Olin Research Paper No. 595
U of Chicago, Public Law Working Paper No. 381
Takings doctrine, we are constantly reminded, is unclear to the point of incoherence. The task of finding our way through it has become more difficult, and yet more interesting, with the Supreme Court's recent, inconclusive foray into the arena of judicial takings in Stop the Beach Renourishment. Following guideposts in Kelo, Lingle, and earlier cases, this essay uses a series of simple diagrams to examine how elements of takings jurisprudence fit together with each other and with other limits on governmental action. Visualizing takings in this manner yields surprising lessons for judicial takings and for takings law more generally.
Note: a PowerPoint version of the diagrams is available on the author's faculty webpage or can be obtained by emailing the author.

Category name i.e.HOME OFFICE
There's something undeniably beautiful about Samsung's Series 9 (900X). It's not that it's just thin; I've reviewed many ultrabooks where the adjective has merited use, but whereas ultrabooks remain wide and tall, the 900X doesn't.
Samsung has tried to make it small on all fronts and the effect is profound for two reasons. The obvious one is it is petite, donning the same width of an A4 page, albeit marginally taller.
The second reason—and this is fundamental in making the user experience all the more magical—is its design is incredibly functional.
It's built from sturdy aluminium that effectively eliminates chassis flex when picking it up from one of the base's corners. Although the screen isn't as rigid, exhibiting little signs of flex, it by no means dampens the experience.
The ash black top is only interrupted by the Samsung logo. It exudes charm, so much so that you inextricably gravitate towards it, wanting to use it for anything, even if the sole purpose is to just hold it. Whereas Apple computers mould aluminium to a clean, conservative design, Samsung has been a little more daring, masking the hinge and connectivity ports with swooning curves. Best of all, they have no intention of hiding these design traits, choosing instead to accentuate them through shaved-steel edges that punctuate its statuesque physique.
With a notebook so slender you'd expect several compromises, and yet the 900X is so perfectly balanced, with the base not only weighing more than the screen, but also distributing it evenly. This allows a user to open its lid with a single finger without any fuss and is the first sign the Series 9 has been thoroughly engineered.
Bordering the shaved aluminium edges are a few ports. On its left (facing the screen) are a USB 3.0 port, microHDMI (adaptor excluded), Gigabit Ethernet (a micro option which comes with the adaptor) and the DC power port. Boarding its right are a USB 2.0 port, microphone/headphone 3.5mm input and a micro VGA port (adaptor excluded). Beneath the edge lurks the most intriguing SD card slot, complete with its own trap-door cover.
Keyboard & Mouse
Once open, you're greeted by a black Chiclet keyboard that is subtly broken up with the ash black interior tone. The keyboard is attractive, practical and easy to type on, cultivating a pleasurable experience over prolonged use. An evenly spread blue backlight simply adds to the charm and although automated, it can be adjusted according to four levels or turned off entirely through keyboard shortcuts.
The track pad is a little confronting at a first glance because it doesn't sit in the middle of the notebook, clearly marked by the adjacent lip used to open it. Its position has been dictated by the keyboards elongated enter, shift and navigational keys, shoving across the customary QWERTY arrangement, and choosing its skewed residence in the interest of ergonomics.
The off centre placement aside, the track pad is one of the best Windows iterations yet. It's characterised by a smooth texture that encourages sweeping strokes and multi-finger gestures, making it easier for Windows users to interactively alternate between open programmes. Even our pet hate—two finger scrolling—has been diligently handled here, and is certainly superior to the current ultrabook range.
These days, coming across a new product without Corning's Gorilla glass is a rarity, but the series 9 is such an occurrence. Its 13.3 inch LED screen has a matt finish, a high 1600x900 resolution and can produce 400 nits worth of brightness. Samsung's proficient TV technology shines through the 900X's screen, producing punchy colours right along the ultraviolet range, rendering images with precise clarity and barely compromising its integrity, even at difficult angles.
If anything the 900X's screen is better than average, which makes its skinny profile all the more impressive.
Most notebook/ultrabook manufacturers cram speakers beneath its hinge, and often the result is a little mixed. Samsung has opted to place two small 1.5 watt speakers on either side of the notebook at the very front and the move has paid off. Sound has more body than you'd expect, remains clear at higher volumes and tends to the sound plane evenly. Although bass is scarce, it's ideal for watching a simple YouTube clip as it clearly communicates dialogue.
Inside the Series 9 is an Ivy Bridge Core i5 processor clocked at 1.7GHz. It's a dual core arrangement that cooperates with the 4GB of RAM and the 128GB solid state drive to execute instructions promptly. Although it doesn't feature a quad-core processor, the setup is more than capable of handling everyday tasks.
Instead of a dedicated graphics card, the 900X has taken the ultrabook route by using integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 to handle—as the name suggests—graphics, and it proves a competent addition for handling movies and everything else under the mediocrity umbrella. However, this isn't the kind of notebook you'd buy to play console-grade games on.
To provide an insight into what 'everyday' entails, we opened ten tabs on Internet Explorer (two of which were streaming video simultaneously), Skype, MSN messenger, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Word, Windows Media Centre and the file manager without enduring much strain.
The 900X impressed is when we performed a Windows Experience Index assessment. The Index rates computers on a scale of 1.0 to 7.9, and as illustrated, the processor was awarded 6.9 for its calculations per second, while the SSD scored an expected 7.5 for its rapid hard disk data transfer. The lowest score (which is the score the Windows Experience Index awards computers) was 5.9 and owed to RAM performance.
Putting the 900X through a Cinebench test produced results less encouraging. The CPU scored 0.77, which is fairly average, while the Open GL test awarded it 8.12 frames per second. Numbers aside, the 900X isn't ideal for intensive applications, such as Adobe InDesign, as is foremost a mobile solution.
Built into the unibody enclosure is a 4 cell battery that will manage six hours with average use, but will drop down to under five when the ante is upped. When conducting a typical video test, which involves playing YouTube movies back to back at half of the screen's brightness, the Series 9 fought off sleep for 4 hours and 43 minutes, which is simply on par.
Our review unit donned a $1,600 price tag—which even for the world's thinnest notebook (12.9mm) is expensive—and the price will continue to climb if an Intel Core i7 processor or 8GB of RAM is nominated.
Rather than condemning the 900X to the dark quarters of your bag, you'll gladly brace it under your arm with the Samsung logo pointing outwards. It's not a powerhouse computer—nor was it meant to be—but it will browse the web, handle multimedia and create office documents effortlessly. You might pay a little more for it than an Ultrabook, but between its functionality and unparalleled styling, the value is there.

If so the granularity is fairly course but a node can then have "points" etc and monitor/control a lot of things. But is there provision for a node that say just monitors a single switch?
Hi Dario, we met on the italian home automation forum
I'm studying your approach to home automation, I decided to use some arduino UNO (4, maybe 5) to control some sensors/actuators (about 30, I would say) connected via Ethernet, and it seems I could use souliss, is this correct?
I made some tests on my own in writing a really small and stupid home automation 'framework', to excange state message and commands between nodes: it was almost working, but I had serious RAM issues: as I tried to debug with Serial.print commands, everything got messed up (RAM exausted, I believe) with strange outputs and/or Arduino reboots.How do you cope with Arduino's small RAM? Did you have to face memory issues? How much RAM does Souliss use? Thank you
I'm an experienced java developer, but my C++ is rusty and I'm an hardware noob. Do you think I could contribute to Souliss if I decided for this library? I'm already registered on sourceforge ...

During the early history of Indiana, beavers were a very valuable fur species. Their pelts were used in place of currency by fur trappers, traders, and Indians throughout the newly explored Midwest. In fact, it was disputes over trapping rights for beaver that fueled the French and Indian Wars. During the 1920s, large beaver pelts were worth as much as $100 each. Unfortunately, the demand for beaver was too great, and by 1840, beaver were considered rare in Indiana. In 1935, the Indiana Department of Conservation obtained a few breeding pairs of beaver from Wisconsin and released them on Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area. As the population grew, some moved into adjacent counties while others were trapped and released in other parts of the state. Presently, beaver are found in almost every county.
The beaver (Castor canadensis) is the largest rodent found in North America. Its appearance is similar to that of a large muskrat with a broad, flattened tail. Most adults weigh between 30 and 70 pounds and measure about four feet in length. Like other rodents, the beaver's front teeth (incisors) grow throughout its life. The back surface of their incisors is softer than the front surface so that when they gnaw, the teeth are constantly sharpened and maintain a chisel-like appearance. The beaver's front feet, although not webbed, are skillfully used for digging, grooming and carrying objects. Their large hind feet are fully webbed and aid in swimming. A unique feature of the beaver is that the second toenail of each hind foot is double or split and is used as a comb to groom their fur.
Of course, the most unusual part of the beaver is its tail. The tail is used for many functions but is seldom used a trowel for carrying mud. The tail is used as a rudder and a propulsion agent during swimming, and it supports the body when cutting trees. One of its main functions is a signaling device. When startled the broad, flat tail is smacked on the surface of the water, alerting other beaver in the area of possible danger. Beaver dive under water to escape danger and can remain submerged for up to six minutes before resurfacing for air.
These "engineers of the wilderness" are best known for their abilities to cut down trees and construct dams. Indiana beaver restrict most of their cuttings to brush and small saplings, although they are capable of felling large trees. In cutting a tree, a beaver turns its head sideways and anchors its upper teeth into the tree. Then, by bringing up its lower teeth and twisting its head, the beaver tears out a large chip. It continues working around the tree, cutting a deeper and wider swath until the tree topples.
Although all beaver are capable of building lodges, most beaver in Indiana build a modified bank burrow. One of two tunnels leads from below water level up into the bank to a nest chamber above water level. The nest chamber is about two feet high and 4 to 6 feet in diameter. Frequently, a pile of interlaced sticks and branches mixed with mud is placed on top of the bank directly above the nest chamber.
During the 1950s, the principal beaver range was the Kankakee and Tippecanoe River drainage systems. More than 8,000 miles of flowing water and thousands of acres of lakes and ponds are available in Indiana for beaver to inhabit.
Beaver have few enemies and predation is limited primarily to man. Because they live in small, isolated colonies and are intolerant of newcomers, disease is not spread and has very little effect in depressing population growth. It is estimated that without control, the beaver population would increase by about one-third each year.
Beavers are strict vegetarians. During the winter months, their diet consists primarily of the bark and twigs of trees and other woody plants. Before winter arrives, beaver eagerly fell trees. Each branch is clipped from the main log, cut in appropriate size and then stashed under water in a large brushpile. When ice covers the waters surface, food is readily available by swimming from the lodge to the brushpile. During the spring and summer, beaver feed on both leafy parts and roots of aquatic plants such as cattail, duck potato, water lily, spadder dock, grass and sedge. Beavers are also very fond of young blackberry canes, and when cornfields are nearby, large quantities of corn may also be appropriated.
Due to their small size, lack of rich color, fur coarseness and heavy hide, Indiana beaver lack the qualities sought by the fur industry. Only a small portion of the state harvest is actually used by furriers. About 30 to 40 percent are used to make partially-furred garments such as pieced coats, hats and gloves, and less than 10 percent are used to make high fashion apparel. As a result, demand for Indiana beaver has been quite low and average pelt price has seldom exceeded $10. Low prices combined with the amount of time required to properly skin, flesh and stretch the hide produce very little incentive for trappers to trap beaver.
Although beaver harvest has steadily increased, it is not indicative of the economic demand placed upon the resource. Instead, it is in response to the beaver's increasing availability and attempts by landowners to remove nuisance beaver during the legal season. At present, the owner or tenant of any property may take without permit during the closed season, any beaver discovered in the act of damaging such property.A beaver dam is not the location where a beaver lives. It is simply a mass of woody debris that may be able to be removed without a permit from the DNR, depending on its location and the equipment to be used. An outline of permit requirements is at: http://www.in.gov/dnr/water/files/wa-Logjam_Removal_Guide.pdf. Be sure to obtain permission from the property owner(s) if the dam is on property other than your own.

In addition to criticizing Congress over Hurricane Sandy relief, President Obama hit the ground running on the first day of his re-vacation.
After landing in Honolulu early Wednesday, Obama quickly went to work out at a gym on a nearby Marine Corps base; he later played a round of golf on the base course.
The president had interrupted his vacation last week to tend to fiscal cliff talks; after Congress passed a bill on Tuesday, New Year's Day, Obama flew back to Hawaii after boarding Air Force One around midnight ET.
A timeline of the president's day, according to the press pool, with Hawaii times:
4:47 a.m. -- Obama landed at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Honolulu.
5:40 a.m. -- Obama at his Hawaii residence.
6:15 a.m. -- Obama arrives at the gym on the nearby Marine Corps base for an early workout.
6:31 a.m. -- The White House staff releases a statement in which Obama criticizes House Republicans for adjourning without passing Hurricane Sandy.
Later in the day, Obama calls Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y.
7:35 a.m. -- The president leaves the gym and returns to the residence, arriving at 7:45 a.m.
10:00 a.m. -- Obama leaves the residence again for the Marine Corps base golf course, arriving at 10:10 a.m.

|In response to Re: Shower diverter repair is killing me!
: I am trying to remove the front seat on a 1960's three piece shower diverter valve. I haven't had luck finding a stem sealing washer (not an O ring, it is about 3/8 deep by 3/8" O.D.and is either threaded or appears that way after years of seating). The stem retainer has a white plastic washer that is also threaded outside for the "appearance cap" to screw onto. The knobs said Noland but one plumber said he didn't think it was and the noland place didn't have any washers. I can try to take and post a picture if you want it.
: The seat that retains the stem has 2 slots 180 degrees apart that I guess are used to remove it. I am gonna look for that tool if there is such a thing. Does anyone have any idea what brand this might be or how I can determine that. I know this isn't a very good description. Thanks

Liveblogging Book-Writin' Sarah Palin Chattin' With Oprah
Noted author Sarah Palin is on Oprah, right now. Let's watch it together!
First, Oprah would like to get this out of the way: remember the actual outright lie that Drudge printed about how Oprah "snubbed" Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin says it was a whole lot of nonsense! And she didn't even think about it! Lies about lies, already, and it is two minutes in. Palin's hair looks even bigger than it did in 2008 btw.
Sarah Palin says getting vetted was fun! She has a joke about it: she got a D once, in college (which college?) And Oprah is like, wait, your teenage daughter was pregnant why are you pretending that anyone cared about a D? And Sarah Palin is like "they did not give us an allowance to take care of Bristol," and also a lying PR person lied to her about how she loved being a grandma. Sarah Palin did not love being a grandmother!
Oh, hah, Chris Lehmann is doing this, too. He is funemployed!
"Of course, though, not knowing how intriguing it would be, for SOME OF THE HATERS, for some of the critics, to really delve into our personal life, and really make MORE of some of the issues that were there." Also the story where Barack Obama said that Sarah Palin's kids were off-limits? In Sarah Palin's imagination, that was Barack Obama telling the media that his kids were off-limits but that everyone should just go fuckin' nuts on Sarah's kids.
4:13 Oprah is pretending that the things in Sarah Palin's book are true! Now they are doing the famous "a fat man told me to eat a balanced diet" routine. Also: Sarah Palin doesn't like to shop. And: it wasn't a controversy where other candidates got their clothes, why was it a controversy for Palin? BECAUSE OTHER CANDIDATES WEREN'T GETTING NEW CLOTHES WITH CAMPAIGN FUNDS, SARAH.
4:16 Hillary Clinton! Drink!
4:17 The staff was hired to write the script. But her staff couldn't find the script! So they couldn't stay on the script. She was told to stay on the script, "and that was always puzzling to me."
Now she is doing a hilarious impression of someone (McCain?) saying "you screwed up, you went rogue on us."
4:19 Sarah Palin doesn't think she could be blamed for winning the race any more than she could've been credited for winning the race, if they had won! This is an official acknowledgment that she lost the race I think?
4:21 Oh man, a LIBERAL MEDIA ELITE MOVIE TRAILER just MADE FUN OF SARAH PALIN, during the commercial break! But don't worry, The Corner: Hugh Grant and Carrie SexintheCity will learn important lessons about the superiority of life in Real America, in the course of their wacky misadventures among the hicks of Wyoming, all of whom will be played by famous movie stars, like Sam Elliott.
4:23 A network evening news anchor's interview of a major party's Vice Presidential candidate was supposed to be a "fun, light-hearted" interview about the challenges of being a working mom. And then Katie Couric tricked Sarah Palin with questions about politics!
4:25 Oh, good, Oprah is actually playing a clip of the interview. Let's see how Sarah does when challenged with reality! Remember how she couldn't remember a magazine or newspaper? Oprah: "Obviously you've read books and magazines. Why didn't you just name any books and magazines?" SP: "Obviously, I have been a lover of books, all my life." Conspicuously she still has not named a book or magazine that she has read.
4:29 "Are you asking the same thing that I am asking, why, God?" And Todd said "why not, God?" Oprah was "touched" by this line, from Todd: "I'm happy, and I'm also sad." Touching. Also Oprah is mocking her, right?
4:31 Tomorrow: porn! Oprah has questions for Jenna Jameson that we are kinda wishing she'd also ask Sarah. HOW MANY MEN HAVE YOU BEEN WITH, SARAH?
4:33 Levi Johnston just got a round of applause! (Also, drink?) How does Sarah feel about Levi? "Most of the discussion of Levi has to do with his most beautiful baby son, Tripp." She is disappointed that he is doing the porn. Oprah is laying out most of the things that Levi has said about her, and Sarah says you know he is a liar because he said Sarah never went to hockey games. Everyone knows she went to hockey games. Also, beautiful boy, precious, Bristol in college, at home, and Bristol's mission is to remind her sisters that there are consequences to unprotected sex. Like I guess your boyfriend will lie about your mom and then do porn. Tripp is "the most beautiful child," again. This lady loves babies.
4:39 Haha Andrew Sullivan is liveblogging too!
In the last segment, Palin was actually forced to be more critical of her campaign than Oprah is. One wonders: is Oprah this desperate to boost her ratings? Is anyone on TV actually interested in finding out the truth?
4.39 pm. Who is Auntie Katie?
4:41 Oh no, the package piece from Wasilla. Sarah changing diapers, all by herself! Todd staying home with one of the miracle babies! Sarah at the gym! Oh, it is Halloween. This is a wonderful look at a regular American family. A family where no one has a job. Piper appears to be dressing as her own father, in a "snow machine" outfit, for Halloween.
4:44 Hah. Being "physically apart" from each other has always worked for Todd and Sarah! But what the hell do they do now, when neither of them are working?
4:49 Ok, FreshDirect just came, so I had to pause the LIES ABOUT THE CONCESSION SPEECH for a minute. Sorry. Sarah Palin was disappointed that she was denied one last opportunity to remind Americans that we needed to move forward. And so America was unable to move forward. All because of Steve Schmidt and his lies about VP candidates not traditionally giving concession speeches!
4:51 Sarah Palin's "support system" would blow you away, Oprah!
4:52 "Even after finishing the book, I still don't know why you stepped down?" She does not really have a good explanation! It was because Barack Obama sent in too many FOIA requests. Obama hammered Alaska and she was shackled behind the governor's desk. With FOIA requests. She could not speak about what she believed in. Oprah is still baffled.
4:54 "She's not retreating, she's reloading." That is what dad said. Sarah Palin is concentrating on 2010, because obviously we will be dead, in 2012. Oh, and Trig will be in kindergarten. Space kindergarten, hopefully.
4:56 "One final question: should I be worried?" Yes, Oprah, probably. But you needn't be worried about this inarticulate rabble-rouser having a talk show. Now Palin is sucking up to Oprah, who she used to watch, back when she was a stay-at-home mom (Sullivan you should probably fact-check this). THE END. "Thank you Piper," Oprah says, and then the camera cuts to DAVID LETTERMAN AND A-ROD TAG TEAMING A CHILD, AN UNDERAGED CHILD.
5:00 That was the most boring episode of Oprah I've ever watched!

"just put them on for the first time today. The fabric is not as soft as it seemed last year for the yellow floral pair. I might just need to get them wet. How they feel like my last pair, as they felt like slippers soon after I put them on."

"I bought these last year at the beginning of summer. went back in august to get a second pair and they were sold out. I bought 2 pair this year. they are really comfortable. I love them."

"This flip flop is so cute but Rocket Dog has changed their footbed for their flip flops from years past. The footbed is not as squishy comfortable and the flower on the heel causes a squawking sound every time you step that is loud and really annoying. I wasn't willing to squawk until the footbed was worn in so I returned the shoe."

"I bought these last year n a different colours. I have bought two pairs in the same style this year. Beautifully made, extremely comfy, great price and durable as I wore them solid for nearly six months. I popped them in the washing machine (at your own risk and went again and again). This year they seem to have a reinforced heel."

Blending a fast feel with plush and protective cushioning for heavy training, the Saucony Ride 6 is a treat for neutral runners looking for a dependable everyday shoe.
The Ride 6 is Saucony's go-to trainer for neutral runners. We saw the high mileage trainer take on a lower heel to toe offset in its previous update, and in this newest version, we continue to see the shoe take on a more streamlined ride, while retaining the cushioning and protection you'd expect in a shoe built to handle heavy training.
Like its predecessor, the Ride 6 has a soft underfoot feel that soaks up impacts, though testers did find the forefoot to be slightly more responsive than the previous model. This shoe isn't the most flexible out there, though increased flex grooves in the forefoot do give the latest version a slight edge over previous iterations for a smoother transition from heel to toe.
Though the upper takes on a sleek new look, aided by a number of bold colorways, testers experienced fit and feel not far off from that of the Ride 5. Thin and flexible overlays give the breathable mesh upper a supportive structure that holds the foot securely without being too tight. The fit is fairly open and will accommodate higher volume feet, though a 2E width will come in handy for those who need it.
"No big changes here. Saucony kept the Ride 6 true to its DNA, and those who liked the previous version will fit right into this one."
"The Saucony Ride definitely sits on the softer side of the spectrum, which isn't a bad thing for runners who want to save their legs over long runs and rigorous training."
"The 8mm drop makes the Ride 6 a versatile shoe, easily allowing any footstrike and rewarding the runner with a silky smooth run."
