Lone Tree police said they teamed up with mall security officials March 30 to thwart an attempted robbery at Park Meadows shopping center. A woman was arrested, and two male suspects, one of whom apparently had been carrying a stolen handgun, still are being sought.
Bernadette Irene Vargas, 51, of Edgewater, was arrested on six charges and booked into the Douglas County jail.
While shoplifting is common at malls nationwide, robberies — especially those involving a weapon — are unusual.
"We don't have a problem with robberies at the mall," Lone Tree Police Chief Jeff Streeter said. "(This is) the one report since January 2012 in which a weapon was used. It's very rare."
The incident started about 6:40 p.m. at the JC Penney store, when a store loss-prevention officer confronted the trio for allegedly taking about $300 of cologne. One of the men reportedly lifted his shirt to reveal a handgun, and threatened the security officer. Vargas reportedly then threw a bag of stolen merchandise at the security officer and the three suspects ran out of the mall.
The security officer and Lone Tree police officer Dennis Boos, who is stationed at the department's Park Meadows substation, caught up to two of the three fleeing suspects in the parking lot. Boos pulled his gun and ordered them to stop. The man complied, but though Vargas stopped, she reportedly started cursing, yelling 'Shoot me,' and walking around the man before running off into the parking lot.
The security officer caught up to her and wrestled Vargas to the ground. She allegedly cursed and attempted to kick Boos when he handcuffed her.
Police later found a loaded handgun under a nearby car in the mall parking lot. The gun had been reported stolen to Thornton police.
Authorities who searched Vargas at the jail reportedly found she was wearing underwear with Victoria's Secret tags still attached to them.
Vargas was charged with aggravated robbery, menacing with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, attempted second-degree assault, theft and disorderly conduct.
Though the incident started as a shoplifting, the suspects' use of threats, force or intimidation elevates it to a robbery, Streeter said.
Streeter praised Boos' calm response during the tense, at-times chaotic series of events.
"They relied on their training," he said. "The officer assessed it properly and we were able to take someone into custody, with no injuries to anybody."
Malls and large shopping centers are frequent targets for shoplifters, many of whom are professionals and some of whom are part of national, organized shoplifting rings.

The BLM has a supporting property and fleet infrastructure that reflects and enables its diverse mission. This infrastructure includes visitor centers and other recreation sites; seasonal fire stations with housing for fire fighters in isolated areas; vehicles able to traverse rugged terrain to access BLM land; fire equipment designed to fight wildland fires in extreme conditions; and administrative offices used by BLM employees, volunteers, partners and contracted support staff.
The primary goal of the BLM's asset management program is to ensure that the infrastructure is maintained in a sustainable fashion that supports the Bureau's mission effectively and efficiently. BLM asset managers are responsible for managing real and personal property (asset management), including property provided by the General Services Administration (GSA) and leased by the Department of the Interior (DOI). To accomplish effective asset management, the BLM places an emphasis on safety and security, functionality, efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility.
There are approximately 290 Deferred Maintenance and Capital Investment projects on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) project list. These projects address deficiencies identified in the 2009 Asset Management Plan (AMP) and reflected in the BLM's Five-year Deferred Maintenance and Capital Improvement Plan. They will be captured, tracked and reported in future versions of the AMP.
The BLM's asset management policy is developed within the Branch of Engineering and Asset Management Policy, Business Resources Division, within the Business and Fiscal Resources Directorate at the Washington Office. The BLM's current inventory of real and personal property fluctuates on a daily basis and includes the items described in the table below.

Adly Mansour, the supreme justice of Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court, was sworn in as interim president on Thursday. He replaces Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted by the military on Wednesday. (July 4) AP
The political situation in Egypt remained in flux Thursday; no date had been set for elections.
CAIRO -- Egyptians welcomed a new president Thursday while military leaders pressed their crackdown on ousted president Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood party.
And questions remained about where the country goes from here.
Most stores opened, sidewalk cafes hummed with chatter and all was almost business as usual in the crowded capital. Thousands gathered to salute the new president, Adly Mansour, in iconic Tahrir Square. And the Egyptian stock market liked what it saw, rising more than 7% in one day.
Still, some people here are not sure whether four days of massive protests resulted in a young democracy being preserved by the military, or democracy being lost in a military coup.
"I'm confused," said resident Mohamed Abu Khair, 36. "I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Mohammed Morsi was a good person. He did not find support from anyone, and Egypt did not give him a chance."
But local jewelry shop owner Essam Abdel Karim, 60, is convinced that the events of Thursday are a "step toward getting another president who cares about all Egyptians. I did not go onto the streets before (this week's uprising) but I did this time because I did not like the way Morsi ruled Egypt."
Mansour, chief of Egypt's High Constitutional Court, was sworn in as the nation's interim president under a transitional plan devised by military leaders. It's Mansour's job until an election is held on a date yet to be set.
In his first remarks as president, Mansour, 67, praised the massive street demonstrations that led to Morsi's ouster after just a year in office. He also hailed the youth behind the protests that began on June 30, saying they embodied "the nation's conscience, its ambitions and hopes."
"The most glorious thing about June 30 is that it brought together everyone without discrimination or division," he said. "I offer my greetings to the revolutionary people of Egypt."
But the arrest of Morsi -- Egypt's first democratically elected president -- and other Brotherhood leaders by the military has raised concerns about the military, said Firas Abi Ali, a Middle East and North Africa analyst at IHS in London.
After autocrat President Hosni Mubarak was ousted in 2011, a small group of generals ruled for more than a year before Morsi's election. After taking office in June 2012, Morsi moved to curtail the power of the military with deep public approval.
His popularity soon waned, however, as he granted himself extended powers and pressed for Islamic law. "That was seen as an extremely worrying sign of his disregard for the rule of law and fear that he would hoard power for himself," said Shashank Joshi, research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London.
The result was waves of violent protests in November and discontent that simmered until June. The one-year anniversary of his administration drew millions of protesters calling for Morsi's resignation and new elections.
STORY: Both sides critical of U.S.
STORY: Egyptians celebrate in the streets, but instability remains
"(Morsi's administration) ended up in a situation where the economy was rapidly deteriorating and their relationship with all the political actors was terrible," said Abi.
Morsi's backers are crying military coup. Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad said the events signify old regime retaliation. "We denounce repressive practices of the police state which have already included killings, arrests, restrictions on freedom of the media," the Brotherhood said in a statement.
On Thursday, thousands of their supporters staged rallies in cities including Damanhour and in Beni Suef, chanting against what they called a military takeover. Cairo remained relatively quiet, with security stepped up in only a few areas.
President Obama expressed concern over Morsi's overthrow. Protests have billowed for days, with both sides blaming the U.S. -- either for failing to more strongly support an elected president or for condoning his power grab. The State Department has ordered all non-essential U.S. diplomats and the families of all American embassy personnel to leave Egypt.
Mansour has pledged inclusiveness, saying that the Brotherhood and their supporters are also part of Egypt "and welcome to participate in the building of the country," according to Egyptian media.
Analysts believe Islamists are here to stay in spite of this setback.
"They still have a strong grass-roots organization and there are still many pro-Morsi parts of Egypt who were protesting in large numbers," said Joshi. "(It was these people) who the coup was intended to neutralize and who will feel very embittered."
"Right now there are too many unknowns," he added, of what is expected for Egypt's democratic development.
While some analysts say the military will control the new president, others said the military was not eager to be involved in the day-to-day politics of Egypt.
"(They) know what a thankless task it is," said Abi Ali of IHS. "I think the military is doing its best not to present itself as governing directly but to put forward a civilian face. The objective is not to present this as a military takeover of power."
Still, despite the uncertainty now, many Egyptians said they were happy to see Morsi gone. The newspapers reflected this sentiment on their front pages Thursday: "Welcome back, Egypt," wrote Al-Masry Al-Youm. Even state newspapers that had backed Morsi were jubilant: "Egypt returns to the arms of Egyptians," wrote Al-Akhbar.

Skip to comments.The Obama Birth Certificate Debate: Two columnists go head-to-head on the birther movement
Posted on 03/29/2011 8:53:35 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
There has been a continued debate within our Opinion department on whether or not Barack Obama's presidency is legitimate, based on the conspiracy of his Hawaiian certificate of live birth. This topic continues to spike up, most recently with the mention earlier this month by potential presidential candidate Donald Trump. Opinion writers have pitched separate, individual articles about the birther topic for quite some time, but with a need to provide both sides of the argument, we created and sent five questions about the conspiracy to William Lolli and Dick Ellis, resident contributers for SanDiego.com.
Question 1) Explain the 'Obama Birth Certificate' debate, as you understand it, from its origins.
William Lolli: The so-called Obama Birth Certificate issue originated in 2007 when Obama announced his candidacy. From the beginning the issue has been mischaracterized by media and governmental forces that are vehemently opposed to the disclosure and validation of president Obamas Constitutional credentials. The term 'birther' was allegedlly crafted by bloggers as a canard but has since morphed into a pejorative denotation of anyone questioning the validity of Obamas adherence to the Constitutions Article 2 Section 1 requirement that the president must be a natural born Citizen. The online New Oxford American Dictionary says a birther is: "a person who doubts the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency because of a conspiracy theory that Obama is not a natural-born US citizen." Whether or not a conspiracy exists is beside the point, and indeed, is a distraction from the point, as are other ancillary charges that birthers are racists or Islamophobes. At the heart of the birther issue are two fundamental positions stemming from the Rule of Law: accountability of government through transparency, and the desire to maintain the integrity of the Constitutional framework.
From 2007 to the present, birthers sought disclosure by appealing to elected officials, the press, and government agencies through FOIA requests, polls, emails, petitions, phone calls, interviews, letters, and lawsuits to try to gain access to Obamas credential-claiming documents. They have not been successful in any of these ventures. More than 17 federal and state lawsuits have been filed, each seeking discovery that could confirm or deny Obamas credential validity. In federal and state cases pre-trial motions dismissed the cases based upon a combination of grounds: insufficient state election laws to compel eligibility compliance, lack of standing by the parties, lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or that the facts had been sufficiently "twittered" into general acceptance as "true". No birther-case has ever been heard on the merits. No discovery has ever been granted, and no one has ever seen Obamas original long-form certificate of live birth, much less any other documentation that would validate his place of birth. Thus Obama has never proven his Constitutional claims, Congress doesnt have the guts to ask, the media exhibits distain on the subject, and the courts will not touch a political issue. The reason for this resistance is rooted in the magnitude of what is unknown about Obama: If Obama is ineligible then everything he has done in office the last two years is invalid and the financial-political effects of that truth would be catastrophic.
Dick Ellis: Obama was concocted in a laboratory by Bolshevik Jews intent on conquering the United States and the world with their one beautiful Frankensteins monster creation: the inexorable, indefatigable, god-head man Barrack Hussein Obama. Their plan was brilliant. First, give him a name that will ring as all-American with the electorate. Second, forge a certificate of live birth and plant birth announcements in the Hawaiian newspapers again because in 1961, Hawaii was as all-American as snüs and kebabs. Thirdly, educate him in madrahsas and teach him to hate the great Satan, USA. Finally, send him to the USA late in his life and abra-cadoodle the perfect candidate for president! Its a natural born conspiracy theory for natural born natural suckers. Delusional natural born xenophobes whose meager lease on free thought has run out are being controlled by corporations who seek to destabilize and destroy the public sector in the United States, and what better way to achieve these ends than by creating doubt about the legitimacy of the President. Do I sound mad? Do I sound like Im espousing a conspiracy theory? Well, lets just sit back and let the porridge call the oatmeal bland.
Its xenophobia masquerading as democratic vigilance. At its heart is a dangerous idea that attempts to paint the democratically elected president of the United States as a kind of vile outsider who doesnt belong, who doesnt share our ideals, beliefs and core values. The president, birtherism ultimately expounds, isnt one of us. Birtherism is thinly veiled monoculturalism. Its evident in its proponents shared beliefs that Obama is a secret Muslim. That Obama hates white people. Its all part of the package. Of course, a person can be an irrational birther and not believe the president is a secret white-hating Muslim, but the overlap in these beliefs is condemning, and these separate and disparate beliefs, which too often hold hands in a single person, are damning to birtherism as a whole.
Question 2) Where is the controversy today?
WL: With the failure of the courts to allow any examination of the merits based upon forensicly obtained evidence, birthers have turned to various other ancillary investigative venues to obtain disclosure.
Recent documents substantiate that Obama only attended Columbia University for 9 months in 1982-1983, contrary to official accounts. FOIA and other requests have been submitted to the State Department for passport and travel records. The Selective Service and Social Security Administrations have been asked for documentation regarding Obamas Connecticut-based social security number 042-68-4425. Investigators have traced the number prior to Obamas [ending in 4424] to Newington, Conn. resident Thomas Wood, deceased at age 19. To date no government agency can explain how Obama obtained the Connecticut number when at no point in his child or early adult years was he a resident of the state. Investigations continue into Hawaiian infant-death records for sequential relationships with Obamas COLB record number 151 01961 010641. The Nordyke twins have made public their long-form certificates with numbers ending in 37 and 38. There are several infant-death candidates that may have had birth certificate numbers issued during the August 1961 time frame. These efforts hope to yield more information now kept from the public.
DE: Today, birtherism is a matter of right wing political convenience. Besides the fact that the birther thing is one big ridiculous distraction from all the actual and very real problems currently facing our country and our world, it is useful for politicians as a dogwhistle. It isnt 100% politically correct or fashionable to call someone a dirty stinking UnAmerican brown shit stain who hates Jesus and apple pie. That kind of talk is simply not allowed, but its possible to allude to that kind of thing. Its very easy to thanks to the f**kwitted, evidence-free birther conspiracy theory. Thats why its beneficial for Donald Trump, a man who has got to be smarter than he looks, to imply that golly gee willickers, guys, you know, hyuck, I just dont know if Obama is an American or not since nobody from his childhood remembers him at all excepting of course, for his kindergarten teachers.
Question 3) Is there a specific party or group pushing this topic? Who has vocally supported it? Who has vocally come out against it?
WL: Vocally supported disclosure of credentials: WorldNetDaily, 450,000 from an unofficial WND poll, Dean Singleton, Notre Dame Law Professor Charles Rice, Chris Matthews, Luke Scott, Tim Walberg, Newt Gingrich, Senator David Vitter, Camille Paglia, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Neil Abercrombie, governor of Hawaii, USAF Lt. General McInerney, Michael Savage, G. Gordon Liddy, Brian Sussman, Lars Larson, Bob Grant, Jim Quinn, Rose Tennent, Barbara Simpson, Mark Davis, Fred Grandy, Rick Roberts, Lou Dobbs, Congressmen Roy Blunt, Nathan Deal, Michele Bachman, Steve King, Bob Inglis, Bill Posey, Trent Franks, JD Hayworth, and a CNN/Opinion Aug 2010 Poll that 25% of Americans think Obama is not born in the US. Vocally against: Most mainstream news outlets including NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News Channel, blogs of the Left, the majority leadership of Democratic and Republican parties, every state Secretary of State, the Executive Branch including the Administration, State Department, Justice Department, Social Security Administration, Selective Service Administration and most federal agencies.
DE: The conspiracy is popular, of course, among the far right wing, which is pretty much the only right wing left in this country. The birther conspiracy theory rests on unbridled hatred of anything different than the person holding the theory up as truth. Its all part of the greater right wing plan for America. The first thing a birther does if you call them on their racist shit is cry and whine and deny it, and then they cry and whine and complain that theyre being represented in the media as something theyre not. If a right winger cant blubber on and on about how theyre being victimized, then theyve got no defense. Its their only card. That mean old left wing media is misrepresenting us and taking our words out of context. Pity us up here on our big f**king cross.
Question 4) Any similarity to this topic, to anything else in our history (or another country's history)?
WL: There has been an ongoing controversy concerning Chester A. Arthur, 21st President of the United States (1881-1885) as to his also not have been qualified for the office. Arthurs father, a Protestant preacher from Ireland, was a British subject who did not naturalize as a U.S. citizen until some years after the future President's birth. There has also been some question about eligibility of presidential candidate Charles Evans Hughes, Sr. (April 11, 1862 August 27, 1948), the 11th Chief Justice of the United States and Republican candidate in the 1916 U.S. Presidential election, losing to Woodrow Wilson.
DE: Its become quite fashionable in politics to demonize the entirety of the democratic process. Both the traditional Democratic left in this country and the howlingly retarded right wing complain of voter intimidation, voter fraud, voter machine fraud and problems with tallying up the peoples votes. The anti-Bush jr. faction claimed he stole the election, and that there was wide spread voter fraud and intimidation of voters occurring in Florida. Now, the right wing goombahs are making allegations that ACORN helped to steal the election and that Obama isnt really an American. Anything to cast doubt on our Democracy stands to serve the corporate masters, and it will continue until the people of this country have no democracy. Until the people of this country have nothing but wild-eyed goons screaming the end is nigh from the doorway of the liquor store. (Basically, a bunch of Glenn Becks without television or radio shows)
Question 5) How do you predict that the birth certificate topic will end?
WL: It is fairly obvious that those who stand the most to lose, if in fact Obama is constitutionally ineligible, will oppose the vetting processes. If Obama is ineligible as president, the reversal-effects of his nullification will have lasting and devastating financial and political consequences. Both political parties, all branches of government, and every Americanindeed, the world-- will feel the impact. Individual and corporate culpability will be widespread, because, to paraphrase Lincoln, all of the People were willingly fooled for some of the time. But truth has a power all its own. Though painful, truth does purify and restore. And the birthers are hopeful that only truth can preserve the sovereign integrity of the Rule of Law and the Constitutional resiliency of our Republic.
DE: It will all end in ignorance and tears. The new right wing of this country is one intent to ignore all evidence. Theyve even made proud assertions to the fact that they do not live in a reality-based community, and thats evident. From the baseless and evidence-free birther and death panel conspiracies on one hand, to the dismissal of the mountains of evidence and scientific consensus concerning anthropomorphic global warming and evolutionary biology on the other. They are a group of heads-in-the-sand denialists, contrarians and malignant dividers. Birthers are but a small symptom of their grand old clan, and arent worth the honest time and attention that has been afforded to them.
Furthermore, and of the utmost importance, this is America motherf**kers, Obama is innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof is upon the prosecuting parties, so bring on your piles of evidence. Lets just manage to get through exhibit A without stumbling down a road of bullshit so dense it forms the birther equivalency of a neutron star. As George W. said, Bring it on! But youve got nothing to bring. Its a conspiracy a-go-go. Conspiracy theories are dangerous. Passion is an exaggeration, and conspiracy theories are the result of misguided passions, leading to ridiculous, but sometimes even dangerous exaggerations that can lead an otherwise rational nation into the depths of genocidal atrocity. How birtherism might result in the same horrors as those brought about by belief in the veracity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is something that from this vantage point in time cannot be seen, but the lesson is easy to see. We must be vigilant against these passionate exaggerations. And stamp them out before they become our national nightmare, our national disgrace and our democracys greatest shame. It is at our peril that we take this viral meme of anti-democratic race-hate as anything but what it so obviously is.
Both of these guys are idiots.
1) William - Good exposure of the facts
2) "DICK" - the name says it all
"If a right winger cant blubber on and on about how theyre being victimized, then theyve got no defense."
D.E. (whoever it is) is a perfect example of the left "projecting" their beliefs and M.O. onto others.
Everyone KNOWS the left (progressives) are the ones crying victimization at the bat of an eyelash.
I think they're scared...as well they SHOULD be.
Where do they contribute, the sperm bank, red cross?They haven't contributed much here.
DE: Typical liberal tactics. If you can't win on the facts, distort, diffuse and resort to foul mouth name calling.
It's real simple. Produce the document.. End of story.. There is no debate.
Ellis, typical liberal, has no defense so he starts out by calling people names and attempting to use sarcasm.
To be honest, I am shocked that a newspaper would print William's comments. He seems to have a good grasp of what is going on and the fact that someone so level headed writes for a newspaper in California is shocking.
I hate the other gentleman's comments, although with some of the language he used, "gentleman" is stretching it...
I give the newspaper a lot of credit for wanting to post both sides of the story and thank them for allowing us to look nice and normal, not crazy. :-)
It's all a big game of Liar's Dice, and the American People have called "BS" on the hand claimed...
But nobody will lift up the cup to see who has won.
"innocent until proven guilty"? No. Sorry. You run for POTUS you demonstrate to the American people you hold the qualifications for office listed in the Constitution.
Trump's little display made it clear to even the MSM: a "certificate of live birth" is NOT a birth certificate.
Why the $2 million in legal expense to fight the American public from seeing a document it costs $39 bucks to obtain?
The best information about Chester A Arthur was that he was frequently a liar and worked hard to hide information. The facts were not found by the press of the day and many were distracted by claims he was really born in Canada.
I hadn't run across Charles Evans Hughes Sr at the time. I have read one site that suggests he was, without doubt, not qualified under jus sanguinis and that a Democrat, FDR's future Secretary of State Breckenridge Long, brought the issue forward at the time. Maybe Hughes was qualified, maybe he was not. It's less important since he was not elected president BUT that is was an issue then, makes it a legitimate issue now.
Neither answers the question of Obama's qualification or address his flippant unwillingness to release his long for birth certificate. I realize his action is purposeful, designed as a red herring and allow him to mock opponents.
It's a scandal the courts, the congress and state legislatures (via eligibility bills) have been unwilling to look at this issue. It's evident there is, as Al Gore once infamously said, "no controlling legal authority."
How is a certified copy of a birth certificate required for a driver's license or state ID card but, apparently, not to become POTUS? What are these legislators really afraid of? Even bills that would bypass the 2012 election, and therefore questions about Obama, are failing.

Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner!
Why would you call the Birther arguments those of an idiot? They were stated more intelligently than I have ever heard them
Since you agree with Darth I will ask you too ...why do you call the birther arguments here those of an idiot?
I agree
It's a shame the "argument" most frequently presented is, "Oh all that's been settled. Move on."
Trump as recently as yesterday was called out by leftist media (Time, etc.) for even thinking of running for president showing only his Certificate of Live Birth — and that's all we've ever seen from Obama.
But in the same articles those JounaLists suggest the Obama issue has been settled.
When? He's never shown it. Lawsuits are pending. Nobody has standing, the courts have said delaying it, and we have a fraud as POTUS.
God bless Donald Trump! Never thought I'd say that..
On July 28, 2009, Hawaii Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino issued a statement saying, "I ... have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen."
So... show it! If it exists, let's see it. Also, if the reason it can't be subject to a public records request is the information contained is private, didn't this records keeper violate the duty to keep the information confidential by making this statement?
Also, speaker confuses "native born" (anchor baby) with "natural born" (both parents U.S. citizens). The statement is false on its face as nobody disputes Zero's daddy was a British colonial subject.
I've already answered you privately, but for the general posting, the answer is YES
The writer of the above sentence lacks education or intelligence. He or she should be talking about anthropogenic global warming (AGW).
With the exception of the first writer, I was not impressed with the statements and comments on the "birther" issue. Generally there is a lack of common sense and too many unsupported assertions about the people with unanswered questions.
Such a dearth of knowledge about a sitting president is unprecedented!
There are lack of information and access to Mr. Obama's writings, his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, selective service registration records, social security number irregularities, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and adoption records.
This information lockout continues in his "transparent" presidency, with organization after organization having to sue under the FOI Act to get basic information about meetings, attendees, motives of people elected and appointed to govern us.
I read it again and while DE comes off as an arrogant fool WL doesn't sound bad to me at all.... so its hard for me to see what is causing people to slam both of the writers
You have correctly encapsulated the entire article in one sentence.
Question 5) How do you predict that the birth certificate topic will end?
Bammy and Co. have had plenty of time to cook up a good-enough forgery. If he is ever actually forced to show something, that's what he'll show. And most of the people, most of the time, will believe him.
Its a shame the argument most frequently presented is, Oh all thats been settled. Move on.
MoveOn.org ring a bell? A common tactic is to declare troublesome issues resolved The blue dress tripped up Clinton. The birth certificate will undo the Kenyan Impostor.
I am a birther.
The saying goes," If the facts are against you, attack the law. If the law is against you, attack the facts. If the facts and the law are against you, attack the prosecutor." Dick Ellis seems to be using a variation of this, not to mention he is also an off his rocker, mad dog, crazy, liberal, Obamanoid.
What if his real biological daddy was Frank Marshall Davis? No flame, please. I'm just asking.
If I just want to stay with the facts #1 is an out right winner.
This is legit? I ask because Dick Ellis (DE) is frothing at the potty mouth through-out it, so much so to be considered a over-the-top satire of the anti-birther opinions which are in fact almost completely name-calling.
I just retired after 22 years in the military. I've had to provide my BC numerous times. I plan on going to school so I filled out the FAFSA. I got a notice yesterday that I need to provide a copy of my BC to verify my citizenship! I also had to give the original as proof when I applied for my passport.
In short, this article reflects the MSM and RINO approach to the issue - dance around the sidelines and never ever cut to the core issue.
IMHO, I think everyone on Obama's side of the issue have realize, some from the very beginning, that the 44th President of the United States of America can well be the last President under the 1787 Constitution. He could also be the last Democratic Party President.
American has always sough a level playing field and prided ourselves in being a nation of laws. When (If?) this core value gets violated the resulting backlash will be disastrous for those who aided and abetted such an act.
We are, perhaps, seeing a massive conspiracy destined to keep the current elite in their bastions of power. A careful reading of world history from the 20th Century shows that their reaction to a crises has been unsuccessfully repeated on almost every content. Who says The US is exempt from this force?
Natural born citizen info:
Donald Trump can be contacted through the following:
for Trump posting and contact:
William Lolli cites Article II Section I on "natural born
citizen" but AFAICS doesn't say that BHO is not one, given
his own statements.
It just occurred to me that although birthplace (jus soli)
is indeed one part of the NBC requirment of Article II
Section 1, focusing on that alone might lead ppl to ignore
the other half, parents' citizenship (jus sanguinis) this
could make ppl somehow think "anchor babies" etc are all

Amy Marx of Orangeville appeared before the City Council with a request to use the Community Center or the city building for a womens exercise group. Five or six women would meet twice a week in the morning from 8:30'9:30 a.m. Because there isn't a TV in the Community Center, the City Building would work better. Amy said they would work with the city to avoid any conflicts in schedules. This group is open to anyone and does not charge a fee to participate. The City Council approved the no charge use of the city building for this group on a trial basis.
The City Recorder Ruanne Leeflang administered the oath of office to the Youth City Council with Adrie Huntington as Mayor, while Courtney Tuttle and Ashley Stilson are Council Members. Carmen Humphrey is the advisor to the Youth City Council.
Greg Jewkes requested an animal permit on his half acre lot. Dennis Tuttle ' Zoning Administrator reviewed this request and found him eligible to have one animal unit. He plans to raise rabbits and could have as many as 26 rabbits in one animal unit. His request for one animal unit permit was granted.
Mayor Pat Jones, led a discussion about increasing garbage collection fees, due to the increase in the cost of garbage collection. The lowest bidder at the last City Council meeting for garbage collection was Emery County Sanitation. If the city had gone with the bid from City Sanitation the city would have been paying $10.75 per garbage can in 2010 and they would have wanted a higher fee this year.
Emery County Sanitation was the low bidder and is the current contractor. As fuel prices go up, there may need to be a fuel surcharge added by Emery Sanitation. The suggested fee increase would bring the cost per garbage can to $6. The second garbage can charge will be $4.50. This change will not be in place until the fiscal year starts the first of July 2011. On the first of July many other city fees will also go up. A public hearing will be held in May to get public input.
Ordinance 2011'1 Solicitors licenses instruction and application was discussed by Carole Larsen'Planning Commission. Without a penalty the ordinance is difficult to enforce. The following has been added to the penalty portion of the ordinance 2011'1. The city may take whatever legal action deemed necessary. This is included on the application and the solicitors business license instruction and in the code. The following has been added under the background check. The applicant will be responsible for any fees incurred for that background check by the city. The city added $35 per day of solicitation. The applicant will indicate that they have read the code. A public hearing will be held March 10 to change the ordinance 2011'1 Residential Solicitation.
Dennis Tuttle ' Zoning Administrator reported that Bob Wilson has property near Orangeville City Cemetery and Mill Dam Road that he wants to subdivide. He has completed the first step by making up a concept plan and has shown this plan to Dennis Tuttle to determine the requirements necessary for a subdivision in and around Orangeville. This will be called a minor subdivision as it is less than 10 lots but more than two lots. Dennis advised Wilson that a sewer line would have to be installed as septic tanks are not allowed for new construction in the city of Orangeville. The utilities would need to be installed by the subdivider along with curb and gutter on the streets. Wilson wants the subdivision zoned RR'1 or agriculture ' residential which means each lot is one acre. Some of his land is in the county and those county lots could be two or more acres. No action was taken as Wilson has to meet with Jacob Sharp of the Special Services District about this subdivision. The city council indicated that they were willing to work with Wilson to help complete this subdivision.
Cindy Nielson asked if the council wants to proceed with building a walking path from Castle Dale to Orangeville. This is a project that has been discussed for several years. She suggested a committee be formed or a council member take charge of this project. No decision was made.
Courtney Cox is asking for city residents to volunteer, if they would like to serve on a city beautification committee this year.
Jeffrey Tuttle spoke about the progress of the Adobe Wash irrigation, pipe line project and snow depth on the mountains. There is more snow on the other side of the mountain this year. Orangeville water usage for last year 2010 was 833 acre feet. In 2009, Orangeville used 727 acre feet of water. In 2008, 805 acre feet of water. The higher water usage last year is possibly due to not having water restrictions during 2010.
There are eight cloud seeders on the mountains. The cloud seeder above Fairview has already used up a 500 gallon tank of propane. There is a lot of snow on the mountains from the Skyline down on that side. "We have very positive news on the snow depth this year. The rains we got early saturated the soil so the snow melt will run off into the reservoirs instead of soaking into the ground. The soil moisture is above normal at this time," said Jeffrey Tuttle.
Tuttle was appointed to vote the water shares owned by the city at the Cottonwood Creek Consolidated Irrigation Company annual meeting.
Mark Tuttle indicated that Jordan and Jonathan Snow were working on Eagle Projects that includes benches and an information board at the gazebo in the cemetery.
Mayor Jones mentioned David Robertson will be putting a rain gutter on the fire station after the snow goes off the roof. He also mentioned the need for a sprinkler system, power and a building to house equipment for the cemetery project. Mayor Jones said the water issue may be solved when the city hooks into the new system. Water isn't expected to be in the new pipeline until 2014.

'GTA V' triples the intensity
Violent franchise takes on virtual LA
LOS ANGELES — I had such a fun weekend.
After seeing a movie, I went down to the beach to ride the roller coaster on the pier and go jet skiing in the ocean. Afterward, I got a haircut and bought a new suit, and then I returned home to unwind with some fresh juice and a yoga session in my backyard.
I live in Los Angeles, but I didn't do any of that stuff there. It all happened while visiting Los Santos, the virtual seaside metropolis cunningly depicted in "Grand Theft Auto V."
For the most part, it's illegal business as usual in the latest edition of "Grand Theft Auto." There are vehicles to swipe, schemes to plan and banks to rob.
Unlike previous installments in the wildly successful — and violent — M-rated series, "GTA V" centers not just on one but three criminal protagonists.
The three men and their adventures are ingeniously interwoven in both the narrative and gameplay of "GTA V," which allows players to switch among them with the tap of a few buttons.
Besides the usual felonious shenanigans, there are leisurely diversions spread across Los Santos, including customizing rides, investing in the stock market and racing jet skis.
With an obsessive attention to detail, the city of Los Santos and its outlying areas feel more alive than any virtual world I've ever visited. Rockstar Games has masterfully crafted a stunning make-believe take on modern Southern California.
However, this Los Santos is not a perfect clone of L.A.
The urban areas don't feel quite dense enough and the rendition of Beverly Hills is basically across the street from downtown.
Fortunately, any shortcomings with "GTA V" feel about as important as a random stranger crossing the street in Los Santos. Rockstar Games has created such a fascinating place. I think you'll want to visit for more than a weekend.

I think Sanchez looked great. The Jets did nothing but ruin him by signing Tewbow and giving him no recievers. I hope he rubs it in the Jets face by drafting Smith. Your Niners pulled one out on Sunday. Be safe Brother.

Thank you for the message and may you also have a memorable Veteran's Day.
Thanks for stopping by. Happy Veterans Day to you and yours.
Howdy, Thanks for your comments. Mom is doing pretty good, however, NOW my wife is having some problems. She was hospitalized last Thursday because of liver problems. Had a liver biopsy on Friday. Doctor said there was no reason for her to have to stay in the hospital over the weekend waiting for test results so she was discharged to home. Our daughter however, stepped up and said she wanted her Mom at her house so now she has two ladies to take care of. I told her she was working on Caregiver of the Year :-) Won't have any results till Wednesday now so will see what happens then. Prayers are appreciated.
Thank you very much. Have a Happy Veterans Day. Tom N

Can wear these all day
"I got these on super clearance at DSW but would have paid full price! They are a great height for work- a bit of a heel but not so much that you need to take them off after a few hours. I wear these with dresses and tights and always get lots of compliments on them. I do not wear leather, and these shoes do not look cheap or low-quality at all. I recently wore them to an out-of- state interview in which I had to walk through 2 airports and drive myself home. I probably had them on for 14 hours traveling and had no trouble at all. I did add a shoe insert (as I do with nearly all of my heels), but I was able to wear them all day traveling with no complaints. I will be researching other shoes made by Impo now because I have had such good luck with these."

Lacks cushioning for ball of foot
"Not as comfy as I had hoped for. They fit nice, toes aren't cramped but lacks cushioning in the sole of foot. Will try using some type of gel insert to see if that helps, I like the look of boot."

Great Shoe For Office!
"I really like these shoes. Wore them to work and forgot I was wearing a heel. By the time I felt any irritation it was the end of the day and I was walking up to my house. Great look that goes with a lot of different outfits especially bootcut pants and jeans."

If your drug is contained in our non-preferred tier (Tier 3), you may ask us to cover it at the cost-sharing amount that applies to drugs in the preferred tier (Tier 2) subject to the tiering exceptions process. This would lower the coinsurance/co-payment amount you must pay for your drug. Please note, if we grant your request to cover a drug that is not on our formulary, you may not ask us to provide a higher level of coverage for the drug. Also, you may not ask us to provide a higher level of coverage for drugs that are in the tier designated as the high cost specialty generic and brand drug tier (Tier 3).
Your doctor must submit a statement supporting your exception request. In order to help us make a decision more quickly, the supporting medical information from your doctor should be sent to us with the exception request.

There is no real use of a portable PC. Or more pokemon in your party. Things like battles would go on for to long. Then there would also be no point for a Pokemon Center, if there was an access to the PC, since you could just deposit pokemon there and heal them. Something like that would cause more trouble than anything else.
the portable pc cannot heal your pokemon?
My biggest issue with gen 4 was the gts and everyone wanting legendaries for bidoofs. That's been remedied with negotiations, but the 4 pictures for comunicating, geez. What's the exclamation mark mean? Anyways, I want better comunication in gen 6, and preferably a better way to tell someone what you want than a trainer card. Another good thing would be a trade level or something. That way high level traders don't end up with low level people insisting that a lilipup is a good trade for a shiny legend.
Free Legit Events!

I have tons of events on file, If you file trade PM me.
I have over 200 Korean and GBA events on file.
Why wouldn't it? It'd essentially be a laptop, which is capable of tue same things as a stationary computer.
If someone suggests some sort of permanent, free and portable healing with the PC idea, I'll add it to the list but credit it with your name, since I'll be adding myself to the Non-supporter list:P My reasoning is that I want a fairly challenging in-game story, where you strategise your Pokemon usage in between trips. Not the heal all at end of battle thingy, which is too easy. So easy that I might as well use action replay instead.

Nothing like a portable PC. You would still have to use the ones in the pokemon center/daycare/etc. Just 2 extra slots for carrying pokemon or eggs. Nothing else changes.

I don't think it is really worth it. Maybe just an extra slot for eggs, so they don't actually take up a spot on your team. But still it causes problems.
Just added Moonlight_Tails' ideas. I'm kind of neutral about it at this point. It does effectively increase the speed of egg hatching by 40%, so shiny Pokemon can be obtained even faster. So it's either a plus for people who wants more shiny Pokemon, or a minus for people who think this dilutes the rarity of shinies even further.
As for training purposes, I rarely have an issue with space management.
Actually, if you can bring in 8 Pokemon to switch around during fights like Elite 4, that's not a plus point for me either.
...the animated sprites weren't all blurry and pixelated.

They aren't that blurry and i think they did a good enough job making them animated. I really like them like that.
If you desire shiny pokemon so badly, learn to rng abuse.
We should be able to mass release multiple pokemon at the same time.
Either by the boxload, or by picking a multiple range of our choice and then releasing them all in one go.
For anyone who breeds, hunts for shinies or just hatches often, having to go down each line of pokemon, box by box and individually click through several different confirmation boxes just to release 1 at a time is the very definition of tedium.

Spoiler:- Shiny card.:
How about you can spend money on getting a pokemon level up? But it would be VERY expensive, like 1,000,000 pokemoney to get a level up (Or around that, not less because it would get boring).
Or a random encounter where you find a way to get to the previous lands (Kanto, etc.)?
Just a suggestion .

Using my old idea a while back if that's okay here.
Natural Ability Change
Let's say... You have a favorite Pokémon in your party that you mostly use in most situations to help you to get further in the game and get good stuff, and your Pokémon feels so special to you because it has good EV/IV, ribbons that you won in contests/bought, a favorite move that is taught in older generations, etc. but you have an ability that your Pokémon have that seems useless or not useful anymore when a Pokémon has a new ability in future generations and you'll have to capture of the same of your favorite Pokémon that you use the most or breed it to get it that, but you have to give up everything that your favorite Pokémon has (moves,ribbons,etc.) that there is no way to get it. Especially when you migrate Pokémon.
Yes, I know this would be a bad idea because that will increase serious competitors to get this to their advantage on their favorite Pokémon to win seriously. To avoid this kind of problem, if you want to earn the option to switch it, it should either pass a very difficult challenge in the game or a special event item. And when you earn it, you can choose one and only one of your favorite Pokémon of your choice to switch the ability.
*In clarification, by saying natural ability, I'm not try to say to change the Pokémon's ability into something else, so they can't make it more powerful like Wonder Guard on Sableye and Spiritomb or Pure Power Weavile and so on, I'm talking about the Pokémon ability that naturally can have like the Abra family has Synchronize/Inner Focus or Riolu family has Steadfast/Inner Focus, that's the kind what I'm talking about.

Ever get the nagging feeling that you forgot something?

I've always wanted something like that in-game. It can get very annoying when you get a good pokemon with the wrong ability.
I think it would be good if smogon left the games alone. I mean i understand banning legendaries but why ban all these other pokemon aswell because they are "uber" i mean i have had a blaziken that is from gen 3 and yet it is still banned because it MAY have a so -called game breaking ability. The thought of one website controlling competitive battling is just ridicoulous.
Because they are broken in the metagame and all. We already have a thread for this so go over there and whine. If you don't like how they do stuff, don't play according to them then. They don't force you to do anything.
I think the game would be better if:
1. The game would have the option to change the difficulty of the AI. That way, veteran players can still get some challenge out of the game without new players finding it too difficult.
2. The games will keep the function of pokemon walking with you. It was a great feature that made the game better for many.
3. The games will stop half-arsing the post-game content. I get it that it's cool to see pokemon not native to the region, but you can at least make those new areas far away so it would make sense. In Sinnoh it's just a big island slightly next to the region and in Unova is just across the ****ing street, which is even more annoying when the whole game was supposed to be a "fresh start".
4. The AI trainers would be program not to use protect / detect unless they have a better strategy then postpone their lost by one more turn. Seriously.

We should be able to change the difficulty of the game. It's too freaking easy.
The ability to design your main character. It would be hard for me to see this in the main series though (even though it would be awesome), so at least if they ever made something similar to Colleseum (sp?) or xD. And if they were ever to do another one of those console adventures they should expand it much more.
Bring back the contests from the 3rd generation and pokewalking (irl and on the game when they follow you). Also, secret bases were awesome. And no more of the stupid contests/fashion shows/musical things. Blergh.
This'll never happen because Nintendo is a cash cow but they should have every pokemon of a generation in both of the generation's games. Like, not taking Growlithe out of this one and Vulpix out of that one. And no out-of-game events to get rare pokemon. Some people don't have wifi or the ability to tread to Gamestop or wherever whenever to download a rare pokemon.
Have sidepaths for your character. Instead of going the direct hero route all the way they could have some side-routes too that your character can accomplish that are different from the main hero path. Like, recording data on all the pokemon can give you the title professor, helping out the bad guys in a sidestory could give you the title of 'bad guy', and so on. Participating in side events in the story (which would give it a lot more depth) and earning titles for it could be pretty addictive.
If there were more save files.
