Furtado, Michael Anthony, 1958- (University of Oregon, September , 2011)[more][less]Furtado, Michael Anthony, 1958- 2012-03-28T16:53:34Z 2012-03-28T16:53:34Z 2011-09 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/12098 xiii, 322 p. : col. ill. Before Spain encountered the Americas, it first encountered the sea. This dissertation explores the roots of that encounter by examining perceptions of the sea in late medieval Castile-Leon reflected in art, literature, and law. It analyzes the changing attitudes of the Castilians towards the sea through an examination of its perceived place in their world, underscoring the complexity of Castilian attitudes toward the dangers and opportunities presented by the marine environment. Conceptual separation and union serve as the two foundational concepts employed for the analysis of evidence from each of the three genres under examination. Each genre highlights in various ways either the strong contrast drawn between land and sea or their seeming union conceptually. These complexities are manifest in a broad variety of sources, from collections of miracle tales to fifteenth century romances. Analysis of legal distinctions between land and sea reveal significant differences in perception regarding the nature of each environment and the rights and responsibilities of Castilians acting in either. Findings include that artistic sources reveal that a fearful attitude toward the sea accentuated by helplessness before its power dominated thirteenth century imagery, contrasting with the greater unity of land and sea reflected in miniatures from fifteenth century sources. A similar pattern of separation and union emerges in the literary evidence, where fear of the loss of agency when traveling at sea in early sources gives way to fifteenth century examples that praise its value. A comparison of the laws contained in the Siete Partidas with the late medieval records of the Cortes of Castile-Leon reveals that while the Castilian monarchs tended to consider the sea as firmly outside of their realm throughout the majority of the period of this study, strategic necessity led to an inexorable growth in the importance of the sea in the affairs of the kingdom generally. Together, the evidence supports the conclusion that by the mid-fourteenth century the view of the sea as other, typical of all early Castilian sources, gave way to a fifteenth century perspective that welcomed it in many respects, laying the foundation for the development of a great maritime empire.

"I really like these shoes. They are light, comfortable and incredibly cute. I thought I would like the black more but these really look nice against my dark skin. I do notice that after wearing them all day (at work and out shopping with friends after work) the "thong" part started to get a little annoying between my toes. Other than that, I think these are a great addition to any collection."

"This sandal is very comfortable. I wore it the same day purchased for a business casual dinner. The only down side is that the label under the shoe says not to wear it too often because the decorative studs are subject to falling off. Bummer! I will still wear it a lot."

Skip to comments.CRUZ releases birth certificate
Posted on 08/19/2013 6:05:19 AM PDT by praytell
WASHINGTON Born in Canada to an American mother, Ted Cruz became an instant U.S. citizen. But under Canadian law, he also became a citizen of that country the moment he was born.
Unless the Texas Republican senator formally renounces that citizenship, he will remain a citizen of both countries, legal experts say.
That means he could assert the right to vote in Canada or even run for Parliament. On a lunch break from the U.S. Senate, he could head to the nearby embassy the one flying a bright red maple leaf flag pull out his Calgary, Alberta, birth certificate and obtain a passport.
(Excerpt) Read more at dallasnews.com ...
But if Obama is not qualified because of dual citizenship then isn't the same true for Cruz?
Renounce and that solves it.
"Ted Cruz became an instant U.S. citizen."
The author lied to the readers. Ted Cruz DID NOT immediately become a U.S. citizen at birth. His parents or he had to APPLY to the U.S. Secretary of State for approval of a request to claim U.S. citizenship. Consequently, Ted Cruz is a U.S. citizen upon approval of the U.S. State Department, and he is not a "naural born citizen" of the United States.
Sorry but you are incorrect. Title 8 section 1401 subsection G clearly shows that Mr Cruz has US citizenship from birth. Thus he is a naturally born citizen and has never required naturalization.
Why would he have to renounce his Canadian citizenship? He should run for president of both countries at the same time
He needs to release his college transcripts too. And while doing so, announce that he will keep no secrets from the American people...
Go suck on that Obama!
Everyone trying to make their "favorite candidate" fit the letter of the law is not my idea of "right".
Two citizen parents who is born in the USA was the law until all the abstractions of McCain and Obama. ( I am not saying McCain was wrong, only that congress saw the need to clarify a citizen stationed on an official duty area. Now Obama is another problem entirely, as is Rubio.)
If the Constitution needs to be updated for the current qualifications there is a process to do that!
Cruz just rolled a nice T**D on to the Table politic!
Betcha Cruze's certificate wasn't photoshopped.
Unlike Quota baby's.
You think out of the box. I like that.
Then again you might just be crazy. And I might be crazy for liking your idea.
Invade Canada!
Buy the t-shirt:
Wrong. Cruz is a statutory U.S. Citizen. He is not a Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizen eligible for the presidency. He father owed allegiance t a foreign sovereignty.
Representative John Bingham, the father of the 14th Amendment who was well aware of the founders original intent defined a natural born Citizen as this:
Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen. (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
A statutory citizen (bestowed by man's pen) can never be a "natural born" citizen (bestowed by God/nature).
Thank you for that succinctly stated view.
What do you believe the founders would say about the child of an English lord who had visited the U.S. a few years after its war with England (and its new Constitution) and sired the child by a U.S. citizen?
10-4 on that, rubber ducky. Over.
CruzToVictory ping.
Wouldn't he also be a citizen of Cuba as well? He could be president of THREE COUNTRIES!...................
Why does only our side have to play by the rules?
Dual citizenship does not disqualify anyone for President.
Only if you conflate the terms Citizen and natural born Citizen.
The two terms are not equivalent, with respect to presidential eligibility.
The simple sentence construction the Founders used in Article II clearly demonstrates this fact.
The media is already mounting its offensive against Cruz. That earns him my support.
If Ted is smart, he will petition the SCOTUS to rule on his eligibility as a POTUS candidate.
I would bet that all four lib Justices vote to allow him to rum to protect Obama from post-2016 attacks on our 44th President.
Then, just one vote will allow Cruz. Any of the five other Justices simply needs to dislike Hillary! in order to define NBC.
I would be a lot that at least one Justice would prefer Cruz over HRC and would settle the issue.
Now, I would prefer Palin run for Senator as part of a R takeover and she gets some resume-enhancing committee assignments.
So, who for VP? I think it needs to be a female to counter HRC. A non-Hispanic female with either superior governing skills or foreign affairs/security would probably neutralize many of the usually attacks on the R candidates.
Suggestions? I would rule out Condi Rice to avoid the Bush Derangement Syndrome from erupting.
Elaine Chao maybe?
"Rafael Cruz, now a pastor in suburban Dallas, fled Cuba for Texas as a teen in 1957. He remained a Cuban citizen until he became a naturalized American in 2005."
Many Cubans kept thier citizenship with dream of returning home after Castro.
One of the arguments that have been put forward as a reason why Obama is not Constitutionally qualified to be president is that dual citizenship negates natural born citizenship.
Exactly so, and there are good reasons for this.
This, btw is what some of us brought up long ago. It's good to see FR finally starting to catch up.
Bring on the North American Union!
"But if Obama is not qualified because of dual citizenship then isnt the same true for Cruz?"
Yes. Anyone who is claiming that Cruz is a natural born citizen is very dangerous to this country.
Wrong, I have nieces and nephews born in Canada, with an America and Canada parent at their birth, instantly, they had dual citizenship.
weird, that had paragraphs when I posted it..... sorry everyone.
My opinion is Marco Rubio is dangerous because he is a devout liberal democrat Amnesty supporter.
Cruz on the other hand is fantastic.
They are very scared of Cruz, aren't they?
Please review this post and #13.
They seem to clearly state my understanding of the law. I can not find any other answer except people searching for the meaning of "IS", Clinton Speak, that will allow their desired result in qualification for President.
Marky is a little shit who owes me $150!
Cruz could be the best guy in the world and it still does not make him eligible to be president.
BTW... Have you ever wondered why it is that every candidate choice put before you is inherently flawed. Either they are a wolf in sheep's clothing or now they are not just normal US citizens born in the US to US parents. Is that really an accident?
And I think there is an intentional effort under way to destroy the natural born citizenship clause of the constitution. It is very inconvenient for the global power establishment.
Bet he does..."release his college transcripts"
Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock
A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be genetically related to the child to transmit U.S. citizenship.

Support Senator Ted Cruz, sign & endorse, the "www.dontfundobamacare.com" Cruz/Lee defund Obamacare petition, right now....TODAY!!!
Wrong WhiskeyX
My son was born in The United Kingdom of American Parents. I did not have to file for citizenship for him. I had to file a CRBA "Consular Report of Birth Abroad" with the United States Embassy in London. My son was automatically a United States Citizen.
Link to details of CRBA for birth abroad. http://travel.state.gov/law/family_issues/birth/birth_593.html
He is also a citizen of the United Kingdom. I filed for and obtained a UK passport for him, and it was perfectly legal. My son can not be President of the United States as he is a dual national with dual allegiance. He can be President is he renounces his British Citizenship.
Ted Cruz can be President is he renounces his Canadian Citizenship. It would be very amusing if he has already done this and these attacks on him are moot.
You mean he didn't have to send lawyers to Canada to retrieve it? He actually has a copy of his own birth certificate?
That is exactly what I was thinking. :) I will laugh when we find out he did so many years ago.
Obama, on the other had got free stuff for claiming citizenry from another country. THAT is the issue.
I think Obama denounced his American citizenship somewhere. I think THAT is what the cover up is about.
'What Difference Does It Make?'
Title 8 section 1401 subsection G is commonly referred to as The Immigration and Nationality Act. Ted Cruz would have to be an immigrant to the U.S. before title could apply to him. Congress does not have Constitutional authority to pass immigration and nationality legislation that applies to citizens at birth.
Congress has a Constitutional mandate to legislate rules and regulations with respect to aliens and immigrants who wish to become U.S. citizens. Consequently, Cruz had to be an immigrant before Title 8 could be applied to him.
Isnt that grand? No hiding. No cloak.
We need to scan Cruz's birth certificate and see if it has layers and halos in it like Obbama's that he released on April 27, 2011.
For some reason, I'm laughing my self silly over this. Why did Ted choose to release his birth certificate at this particular time? Sounds like a game of chicken with the Won to me. Maybe he is trying to goad zero into coming clean - what's next? I fully expect Ted to release his college transcripts too.
Sorry, this just tickles me.
Baloney! The people dangerous to this country are those now in control. You seem to have a warped sense of what's good or bad for this country.
Once more, the meaning of "natural born citizen" was determined in 1787 not whenever title 8 was written. Title 8 has no impact on what the CONSTITUTION means.
You can't change the meaning of words AFTER THE FACT.
If Ted Cruz wouldn't be a "natural born citizen" in 1787, then he isn't one today.

Ms. Elaine Kneeous
Jennifer is a one in a million stay-at-home mom. (More like one OF a million stay at home moms!) She graduated from a liberal arts college but there is nothing liberal OR artsy about her. She is married to Kevin Fischer of This Just In, and together they have a beautiful young daughter Kyla Audrey. In no particular order she loves dogs, wine, a good bargain, her family, pizza, and entertaining. Follow her blog of all things miscellaneous including but not limited to cooking and baking, entertaining and party planning, being a mommy, and homekeeping.
So many celebrations & activities!
It's painfully obvious that I haven't blogged much these last two weeks. It's with good reason. Our wonderful little girl just completed her first year of school. K-4 has been an adventure to say the very least. We have had such a wonderful time at St. Anthony's School that I can't imagine being anywhere else.
Let me recap Kyla's final week of school. On June 6th (Friday) all the K-4 classes enjoyed "Beach Day." The teachers created stations for the kids that included water tables, sand boxes, bubbles, hula hoops, beach balls and more. They spent the morning playing themselves into oblivion. I had the privilege of helping out the entire morning and was happy to treat Kyla's class to Beach Bear Cupcakes.
That following Monday June 9th we took an all K-4 class trip to the Racine Zoo. I was able to chaperone and had two of Kyla's best friends, Amirah and Johnny, in my group. Since the Racine Zoo is manageable in size, we spent the rest of the afternoon playing at the Kid's Cove Play Area along the lake. It was delightful. You won't be surprised when I say that the ride HOME from the trip was considerably quieter than the ride GOING there. ;-)
The next day Kyla participated in an awards ceremony. Students with excellent attendance were recognized by their teacher and the principal. Kevin & I were in the audience cheering her on, of course. Kyla's teacher was extremely proud, as you can see:
Finally, on Friday June 13th, the ENTIRE student body of St. Anthony's grade school participated in mass at the Basilica of St. Josaphat. Students from all campuses walked with the aid of several police escorts who closed streets and directed traffic. It truly was a sight to behold. Since I was busy helping to corral many enthusiastic and not-very-attentive K-4 students I didn't get any photos of this spectacle. From the Basilica's Facebook page…
After what seemed like a particularly lengthy mass we all walked back to school and Kyla's campus (K-4 through 2nd grade) enjoyed an all-day carnival. Three "bouncy houses," a DJ, and game/activity stations were loved by everyone. I was able to help out at this as well so my photos were limited:
Candy was awarded for prizes; juice boxes kept the kids hydrated; popsicles were handed out for treats; and Kyla's classmate celebrated his birthday at the end of the day with cake. Let me tell you, the crash from the sugar rush was something THIS mommy doesn't care to repeat any time soon!
To thank every teacher (not just the ones she had for her own classes) and other staff, Kyla proudly handed out Custom Confections by Jennifer's hand-dipped coated Oreos:
The teachers at St. Anthony's are an amazing group. We are truly blessed to be a part of their "family." This was such a simple thing, but judging by the amount of hugs & thank-you's we received, I know they were appreciated!
WHEW! There you have it… the many reasons why I haven't blogged lately. I wouldn't have traded a single moment I spent with Kyla for anything in the world. I feel so fortunate to have been included in all the festivities.
The next few months promise to be full of fun and many activities. So far we've signed up for the summer reading program at the Franklin Public Library, and have swimming lessons and Irish Dance lessons on the calendar. Our Summer Bucket List is a long one but I look forward to all of it!

EFF is defending the First Amendment rights of a citizen-journalist to link from a public "wiki" to electronic copies of damaging internal Eli Lilly documents relating to the controversial prescription drug Zyprexa.
EFF warned ABC not to pursue its bogus copyright infringement claims against 'Spocko' -- a blogger who sparked nationwide debate over a San Francisco radio station -- and asked the media giant to retract its baseless threats.
EFF joined with attorney Venkat Balasubramani of the law firm Focal PLLC to represent The Oatmeal creator Matthew Inman in a bizarre lawsuit targeting the online comic strip's fundraising campai
In March 2010, EFF filed an amicus brief urging the Illinois Court of Appeals to protect the identity of an anonymous critic who upset a local politician. Our brief set forth the appropriate First Amendment standard that should be applied to protect the online critic's identity from curious or vituperative opponents. In November, the Court of Appeals overturned the trial court's order and protected the identity of the anonymous speaker in question, adopting much of the substance of our First Amendment argument.
EFF helped protect free speech rights of users who provide online forums for the views of others. In this case, a breast implant awareness activist was sued for defamation in part for re-posting an article written by someone else. On November 20, 2006, the California Supreme Court upheld the strong protections of Section 230 of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, reversing an earlier ruling by the Court of Appeals. Agreeing with EFF's position, the court held that the 1996 law protects individuals from civil liability for posting to an Internet newsgroup a statement created by another.
EFF protected online speakers by bringing the first successful suit against abusive copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
When internal memos exposing flaws in Diebold Election Systems' electronic voting machines leaked onto the Internet, Diebold used bogus copyright threats to silence its critics. EFF fought back on behalf of an ISP, winning an award of damages, costs, and attorneys' fees. Equally important, the case set a precedent that will allow other Internet users and their ISPs to fight back against improper copyright threats.
EFF defended online journalists and their rights to protect the confidentiality of sources as offline reporters do.
Apple Computer sued several unnamed individuals, called "Does," who allegedly leaked information about an upcoming product to online news sites PowerPage and AppleInsider. As part of its investigation, Apple subpoenaed Nfox -- PowerPage's email service provider -- for communications and unpublished materials obtained by PowerPage publisher Jason O'Grady. EFF successfully defended the journalists -- a California state appeals court held that they were protected by California's reporter's shield law and the constitutional privilege against disclosure of confidential sources. The court also held that Apple's subpoena to Nfox was unenforceable because it violated the federal Stored Communications Act.
Anthony Elonis was convicted of making interstate threats on the basis of violent posts published on Facebook, where he fantasized about killing his ex-wife and law enforcement.

Michael Tanner: Debt ceiling exaggerated
Sometime in the next 30 to 60 days the federal government will reach the legal limit on its ability to borrow, setting up the next potential budget crisis in Washington. The debt is currently $16.4 trillion, technically in excess of the statutory limit, and the Treasury Department has been using "extraordinary measures," such as delaying payments to federal retirement programs, in order to push back the final day of reckoning.
But Treasury's ability to push off the deadline is almost spent, and unless Congress authorizes an increase in the debt limit, we will face yet another financial cliff. With Republicans in Congress calling for spending reductions as the price for increasing the debt limit, and President Obama insisting that he will not negotiate on the issue, we may soon be looking back on the fiscal-cliff deal as a model of relative comity.
Unfortunately, much of what we are being told about the debt limit and the upcoming fight is simply untrue. For example, President Obama warns that failing to increase the debt ceiling would "force the government to default on its obligations." Not so.
There are two parts to the obligations subject to the debt ceiling: that part of the principal maturing during the time in question and the interest payments that the federal government must make on its debt. Between Feb. 15 and March 15 of this year, the federal government will owe roughly $38.1 billion in interest payments. Failure to make those payments would indeed result in default. However, the federal government will also collect an estimated $277 billion in taxes and other revenue over that same period, meaning there will be more than enough money available to make those interest payments.
True, the federal government would not have enough revenue to continue spending the $452 billion that it otherwise would over that period. It would have to prioritize its expenditures until the debate was resolved. But there would be, for example, enough money to afford the interest on the debt, military salaries, Social Security and Medicare, with at least $90 billion left over for other things.
As far as the principal goes, roughly $500 billion in debt will mature within the window between Feb. 15 and March 15. Of course, the federal government does not actually pay off this debt (if it did, our debt would be going down rather than up) but rolls it over, substituting new debt for the maturing debt. As outgoing Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner testified in 2011, "Under normal circumstances, investors who hold Treasuries purchase new Treasury securities when the debt matures, permitting the United States to pay the principal on this maturing debt." Since there is no net new debt as a result of the rollover, the new securities do not run afoul of the debt ceiling.
The president also claims that the debt-ceiling debate is about whether "Congress should pay the tab for a bill they've already racked up." Wrong again.
As noted above, we are not actually paying the bills we've already run up but simply rolling over the borrowing on those bills and paying interest on our debts. Moreover, those bills amount to the $16.4 trillion we owe as of this month. Interest payments can also justifiably be considered part of past debts, and those payments will amount to roughly $220 billion this year. Even if we raised the debt ceiling to accommodate those interest payments – something that is not strictly necessary, as discussed above – that would mean a new debt ceiling of just $16.6 trillion for this year. The administration is seeking an increase to $18.5 trillion, which would theoretically allow borrowing through 2014.
The administration wants an increase in the debt ceiling beyond current debt and interest payments in order to accommodate additional spending and borrowing for this year and next. True, there is a certain element of hypocrisy to Congress's appropriating money for this year and then refusing to carry out the borrowing necessary to pay for it. But there is nothing wrong with Congress's forcing government not to spend money that it had planned on spending.
Don't get me wrong – failure to raise the debt limit would not be a good thing. Financial markets would likely react badly. We could even see another downgrade of the U.S.'s credit rating. Increased uncertainty would further slow economic growth. Unknown potential consequences abound.
But none of this would be worse than a failure to take meaningful action to reduce the debt, federal spending, and the growth of government. If we want to see more credit downgrades, market turmoil, and slow growth, all we need do is continue on our present course.

English painter A.J. Munnings (1878–1959) was a painter of horses and landscapes. He lost sight in his right eye as the result of an accident when he was twenty. A visit to the Lavenham horse fair sparked a lasting enthusiasm for painting horses and gypsies. Ineligible for active service because of his sight, he spent the first three years of the First World War mainly in Cornwall. Early in 1918 he went to France as an official artist for the Canadian government, attached to the Canadian Cavalry Brigade. In 1919 he took a studio in London and entered London's artistic social life, centred around the Chelsea Arts Club and the Café Royal. He also lived at Castle House, Dedham, which is now the Sir Alfred Munnings Art Museum. While president of the Royal Academy between 1944 and 1949 Munnings caused embarrassment and controversy by attacking modern art.
Lambert would have drawn this portrait shortly after the thirty-nine-year-old Munnings returned from France and forty-five-year-old Lambert from Palestine. He vividly captured his subject, showing him looking into the distance, with a glazed right eye. His raised eyebrows and gently smiling mouth suggest that he was entertained by Lambert's company. The rapid pencil lines Lambert used to convey his hair give Munnings a somewhat dishevelled look.
This drawing drew favourable attention from Claude Phillips of the Daily Telegraph , London, who described it on 15 October 1918 as 'a fearlessly characterised portrait'.

"This shoe is so cute! I just ordered them/ wore them, and the design, colors, and comfort of the shoe are all so great. It does have a different cut, so when I first put on the shoe it almost felt like my foot was not all the way in the shoe enough.. but after wearing them for a couple hours, they broke in and feel great. They do come with an interesting smell due to the fabric, but I aired them out and they are good to go."

"I bought these shoes few weeks ago. I love them! They are simply gorgeous. Looks so different and beautiful! Also the leather makes them look like good quality shoes! My only concern is that they may fall of the feet after a while (because of the cut shape), but I will stick some of these heal liners inside and it will hopefully help. For now no issues anyway!"

Source: Plan is for Gronkowski, Amendola to play Sunday
Posted by Zuri Berry, Boston.com Staff September 27, 2013 04:50 PM
The Patriots will likely get a boost on offense Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons with the return of All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski and wide receiver Danny Amendola, according to a league source.
Gronkowski, who has been rehabilitating after undergoing back and forearm surgeries, is expected to play, as is Danny Amendola, who was been hampered with a groin injury.
The source said that, as of today, the two are playing against the Falcons, but there is "a lot of time between now and Sunday night."
While the Patriots are taking it day by day, the plan is for the two to have a limited role in Atlanta.

Psalm 18.4,1
Their voice has gone out into all the earth.
Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.
IN THOSE DAYS, King Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense: "I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who journeyed with me. And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It hurts you to kick against the goads.' And I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But rise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you to serve and bear witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles-to whom I send you to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' "Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance."

State Department admits Kerry was on yacht day of Egypt coup
Posted by CNN Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper
(CNN) - After the emergence of photographs showing Secretary of State John Kerry on his 76-foot yacht Isabel on Nantucket Sound on Thursday, the State Department issued an embarrassing correction Friday morning, back-tracking and acknowledging that the Secretary was in fact on the yacht on Wednesday, the day the Egyptian military staged a coup against democratically-elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy.
Originally, State Department officials were quick to deny a Wednesday tweet from CBS News Mosheh Oinounou that: A @CBSThisMorning producer just spotted Secretary of State Kerry on yacht in the Nantucket Boat Basin. No response when she shouted Morsi.

Secretary Kerry was aboard his yacht, the "Isabel" this afternoon http://t.co/R6v1UDFNGu Mosheh Oinounou (@Mosheh) July 03, 2013
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki issued a statement Wednesday saying any report or tweet that he was on a boat is completely inaccurate.
(Excerpt) Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ...
Did the DoS just admit it was a coup?
Entire executive branch of our government are nothing but blundering "vacationing entitlement" slugs. Never has this country seen such incompetence.
Here we go again......It never ends with this bunch of thugs. They lie, get caught then change the story.
No worries; his good buddy Juan McCain should be coming out warning the GOPe that criticizing Kerry would be unpatriotic and wrong-headed.
McCain is such a Maverick! /sarc
was that the same yacht they he tried to fraudulently register in rhode island to avoid the Massachusetts excise taxes?
OOPSIE!!! you mean they were LYING yesterday when they denied it?
And you know damn well they KNEW where he was...
If it was not for PHOTOS they would still be lying
They are not admitting it to be honest they are admitting it because they were CAUGHT RED-HANDED
Frankly, at any critical juncture I'd rather see him on his yacht and Obama on the back nine than at work where they could have some incompetent and malicious influence on events.
What !!! and I thought Kerry lived in the Middle East trying to find his Nobel Peace Prize
That boat had a different name.
But they were in Viet Nam together don't you know?
I wonder if he ever paid his taxes on his ship.
It's the crazy commies who don't party and don't sleep we have to worry about. Guys who dream of remaking the world in their image at all costs. Guys like Soros...
"The Lurch"
"The Sloth"
"Incompetent Beneficiary"
or my fav
"I married lucky"
"It was merely an erroneous statement." James Clapper
does anyone really care where he was, it is not really any of our business what other countries do....sticking our government noses into others politics gets us in trouble as the busybodies of the earth, (unless its an ally that asks for our help.)
Yeah the one he has docked in RI so he avoids the MA taxes on it.
The first inclination of this administration is to lie. You can believe nothing coming from their mouths.
We have a government full of Marxist Progressives who are more into the Power/Social/Status aspects of their jobs than actually doing the job.
This is bad because they are incompetent, lazy and feckless which is damaging to our country.
On the other hand, these same traits preclude them from implementing their policies and any effective way so they are self limited when it comes to implementing their agenda.
These are not people who have a lot of practical job experience and I don't think Kerry or many others have actually worked a day in their lives.
It went well beyond lying; they were demanding a retraction from the CBS reporter who reported it. John Effin Kerry is one arrogant POS.
Agreed. The government is run by Valerie Jarrett and the Center for American Progress. Obama, Kerry, et al are mere puppets.
And don't forget George Soros.
My in-laws are rabid Obama supporters. They foam at the mouth if you dare criticize Obama, Kerry and especially HILLARY!
WHERE is the torpedo with that yacht's name on it?
Doesn't even have to be an expensive one.
Don't forget that if we speak badly of any dim that we cost ourselves votes.
Offcourse, he also declines to pay the higher voluntary tax rate in MA as well.
He must not be patriotic or a racist, not sure which.
A coverup!
Yup, caught in the act again. Now where was our CIC on the night 4 Americans were murdered in Benghazi?
That boat was the "Scaramouche" if I recall.
Scaramouche, douche
Tomato, tomahto.
That's what I thought.
What became of it ?
Zero said he would bring Hope and Change. Now we know what he meant.
When they screw up they "hope" no one finds out and when they are caught they "change" the story.
My feelings exactly.
"Let them eat caviar!"
Country club douchebags running this country into the ground in the name of red diaper doper baby Marxist dreams.
" was that the same yacht they he tried to fraudulently register in rhode island to avoid the Massachusetts excise taxes?"
You r correct. Jen Psaki is the worst political hack to ever hold that position. I don't believe a word that comes out of her mouth.
What, no dacha on the Black Sea?
The nuances are important to this little story. When the 2 CBS reporters found Kerry on his yacht, one called out "Morsi!" to see what JF'nKerry would say or do (like give a thumbs up or down).
Kerry ignored them.
So they reported that Kerry was on the boat.
Now, reporters are easily cowed by a Left-Wing Administration, typically.
So the State Department just denied that Kerry was on his yacht, figuring that the reporters would back down.
...but these two CBS reporters are Egyptian!
They took pictures of Kerry on his yacht, and they aren't happy with 0bama for trying to prop up Morsi.
They didn't back down.
This turned the tables on the State Department, which then had to admit lying.
[This turned the tables on the State Department, which then had to admit lying.]
So, did they happen to get any photos of who was accompanying Prefect Biggus?

Wednesday was a Holiday Eve at Fox. I guess the assumption by Fox management is that nobody is watching. This would never have happened if there had been a Zimmerman Trial Verdict that day. But an historical revolution in Egypt apparently isn't news at Fox. More important to give their anchors a rest and play some pre-recorded infomercial quality faux-news.

Summary: Tom Kraeutler, host of the Money Pit home improvement radio show, shares his favorite products for fall home improvement projects. This segment features Pella Designer Series 750 energy efficient replacement windows.
TOM: Hey, it's Tom Kraeutler from radio's The Money Pit, and now is a terrific time to think about replacing your windows before the tax credit runs out at the end of the year.
This is a great window to do just that with. This is the Designer Series 750 from Pella. It's available at Lowe's. There's a couple of reasons I really love this window. First, it's all wood construction, so it's beautiful, it's natural, it's organic. Plus, it's incredibly energy efficient.
Check this out. There's triple-paned glass in this window, and between two of those three panes of glass, Pella has designed in a shade or a blind. Check this out. Look at it.
You can open or close the blinds inside the glass, you can raise it, you can lower it. If you think about it, you've got no dust, you've got no dirt, you've got no cords hanging out. This is the total package.
Beautiful window, very functional, and very energy efficient. The Pella Designer Series 750, available at Lowe's.

The goal? Transforming government for efficiency, savings
Business Roundtable sponsored a substance-heavy conference on "government transformation" Wednesday, featuring CEOs, political leaders, and experienced hands in government management.
The BRT-member CEOs represented were Jorge Benitez, Accenture; Mark Bertolini, Aetna; Davis Melcher, Exelis Inc.; and Matt Rose, BNSF Railway. Cosponsoring the conference was GOVERNING magazine, with top executive Cathilea Robinett capably moderating several panels.
In his welcoming remarks to the "Transforming Government for the 21st Century" conference, BRT President John Engler said budget pressures -- think sequestration -- have elevated the case for government reorganization to create efficiencies and savings. BRT-member CEOs and the private sector can offer some lessons from their own experiences, he observed.
The companies they operate are complex, global operations. And they have learned to cut, restructure and transform themselves when necessary – whether the pressure for change comes from mergers, technology, or the realities of the competitive global marketplace.
One reason they can achieve these changes? They have the authority to make them, unlike U.S. presidents. who have lacked the ability to restructure the Executive Branch since 1984.
Danny Werfel, Controller of the Office of Management and Budget, was the opening speaker, bringing the perspective of a presidential appointee who began his OMB career as a civil servent, serving administrations of both parties. Government Executive magazine covered his speech and Q&A, really capturing the tone of the day.
The chief impediments to streamlining federal functions are "parochial stakeholder interests" and a lack of urgency among managers implementing laws and programs, U.S. Controller Danny Werfel told a business group on Wednesday.
The solutions include relying more on independent commissions in deciding how to "rightsize and reshape" government as well as "changing the culture to channel the urgency" commonly felt during a crisis into everyday situations.
The panels:
- Transformation in the Public and Private Sectors -- Lessons for the Federal Government" featured BNSF's Rose, Exelis's Melcher, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty -- now at the Financial Services Roundtable -- and former Indianpols Mayor Stephen Goldsmith, now at the Harvard Kennedy School.
- Transformation in the Federal Government: Opportunities and Challenges" with Accenture's Benitez; Bertolini of Aetna; former HUD Secretary Steve Preston; and David Walker, the former GAO Comptroller General who now leads the Comeback America Initiative.
- View from the Senate: Legislative Oversight of Executive Organization and Management, with Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK)
Speakers acknowledged the obvious: Business and government are different. Companies are simply more responsive and efficient. Beyond that, other themes recurred:
- Executive leadership is critical. Leaders evangelize, motivate, maintain a consistency of message and action, persist in in keeping employees' focus on the overarching goal, not the particular task they've been assigned (which can become a fiefdom). But executives must have the authority to make decisions and put them in into effect.
- Shared services across agencies can achieve efficiencies and big savings, particularly in procurement reform; you want to encourage the purchase of good supplies quickly, rather than bad products through a rigorous process.
- Rigid or protective personnel rules should be reformed so executive can reward those who do a good job and get rid of those who are not.
- There's too much federal real estate! As Sen. Coburn noted, in fiscal year 2009, 24 federal agencies reported having more than 14,000 excess and 45,000 underutilized buildings costing more than $1.7 billion annually to operate.
- Change often comes from action-forcing events, i.e., crises, as Pawlenty noted. (See Star-Tribune, "Pawlenty tells execs of political dysfunction.")
- Government needs to focus more on the people it serves, i.e., customers or clients.
Business Roundtable videotaped the conference and will post highlights in the near future. We also plan a paper that summarizes the day's comments and recommendations.

|In response to Re: Bathroom Vent Fan
: I have a large master bathroom with a cathedral ceiling, jacuzzi tub, shower stall and skylight.
: The bathorrm has no vent fan. Moisture and moisture drop residual slowly gets on the skylight and walls. Surprizingly over the years there has been no moisture problem.
: The cathedral ceiling is about 6 feet higher than the shower stall. The shower stall is located below the straight wall. The rule of thumb is to locate the vent fan in the shower stall however if I locate it at the top of the straight wall opposite the slope ceiling it will not only get the moisture that eventually rises but also the heat in the summer.
: If I locate it here however it will run into the attic just below the top of the roof.
: What would be the best choice. Could I run the exhaust line down to tie into the vent line from the other bathroom. The attic does have a good sized thermostatically controlled attic fan.

Skip to comments.Romney was right
Posted on 12/03/2012 8:55:02 AM PST by T.O.K.
Its hard to be honest in politics. Perhaps that has been Gov. Mitt Romneys real problem all along. Romneys candor came out in a recent conference call that was reported by the New York Times in which he said that President Obama offered free gifts to both illegal aliens and American citizens. Romneys observation about rewarding illegal aliens with citizenship and giving free benefits to people exploiting the system is not the same as criticizing minoritiesbut for decades the Left has manipulatively used racism, sexism and discrimination to intimidate the Republican Party into cowering into the aimless, weak institution that it has become today. When Romney made the highly publicized 47 percent comment during a Boca Raton fundraiser in September, he was obviously making reference to the fact that it was not a campaign priority to reach out to that sect of the population for votes. He was right because most of those people were not going to vote for him anyway.
(Excerpt) Read more at bizpacreview.com ...
Romney had no problem being a lying, mean bastard when he was attacking conservatives like Newt and Santorum. His kid gloves treatment of Obama betrays that he is more on the side of the liberals than the conservatives. He hates conservatives; he only disagrees with socialists, and only in degree. That is why he lost. He needed to take out Obama, but the case against Obama requires that you describe what he really is. Liberals don't like to describe soclialism as evil, because they buy into most of it. And so, Romney lost.
How many here stated there was little difference in core political beliefs between MR and BO, only to be shouted down by the mittbots.
Mitt was able to convincingly wage war with the true conservatives because he shared none of their beliefs.
Does anyone actually KNOW a committed, passionate Romney voter - you know, the kind of voter who truly believed he was going to turn this nation around? It stuck me that this was a guy that inspired no one in his own party - except the GOP Elite types who weren't so much enamored with him, but they thought we needed Romney to "win the Senate" - which is also an epic FAIL of the GOP Elites. There was absolutely no passion for Mitt Romney - from anywhere. And it showed in the lack of votes he got vis-a-vis Obama.
Exactly....Romney was yet another "He Sucks Less" candidate.
Romney lost because he ran a poor campaign and was a poor candidate.
His comments about the 47% were simply stupid and inaccruate. CONSERVATIVES admit the economy is in the tank, job opportunities are compromised, businesses are not hiring and this jerk comes out and actually states he doesn't want the votes of people who are forced into unemployment, food stamps and even welfare as result of the Obama generated recession? STUPID. INACCURATE.
At a time Americans who ARE working are concerned about KEEPING their jobs he says "I like to fire people." DUMB and DUMBER.
I said before the one way the GOP could win the election was to make it about OBAMA and that if Obama made the election about the GOP candidate, he would win. He did and he did.
Romney had a reputation as a flip-flopper on nearly every social issue, was tied to Massachusetts health care when MOST Americans reject Obamacare, and was successfully, in accurately, portrayed as a rich elitist corporate raider who stole American jobs.
When he COULD have won Florida and a large number of Hispanic votes, he blew it by picking a guy tied to [ushing grandma over the cliff, again inaccurately, but successfully.
Romney was a BAD candidate, NOT a conservative and ran a BAD campaign.
Add to that the collapse of ORCA, Hurricane Sandy and Chris Christie playing Iago, Judas and Benedict Arnold all rolled into won and that is why we lost/
STILL the popular vote difference was only 2% AND the Obama bastard got LESS votes than last time and even 10% of the black vote did NOT go to him.
So much for this crappy article.
For example, I know many seniors who believe in small government, oppose taxes, hate socialism, but at the same time support both Social Security and Medicare. They no longer regard these senior programs as socialism.
And, by the way, they show up to vote in every election.
" Romney had no problem being a lying, mean bastard when he was attacking conservatives like Newt and Santorum. His kid gloves treatment of Obama betrays that he is more on the side of the liberals than the conservatives. He hates conservatives; he only disagrees with socialists, and only in degree.

NAILED it.
" Crap.

I said before the one way the GOP could win the election was to make it about OBAMA and that if Obama made the election about the GOP candidate, he would win. He did and he did."
A lot of principaled conservatives, many who visit this site, who could not stand Romney, obviously stayed home, based on all the numbers.
I understand that those that paid into Social Security or enjoy Medicare right now did nothing wrong; they are not "takers" and can still be conservative - but that doesn't mean that they bought into the Mediscare tactics of Obama and voted for him in self interest.
All those people voted to keep their free stuff coming.
What we didn't explain well enough that the stuff will be gone for everyone if we don't get our financial house in order. No one fears the "Greece" scenario because it looks far off in the future. It might be, if idiots still keep buying our Treasuries. Once they stop, however, there will be hell to pay.
I think the 47% comment was right on, without disparaging the group mentioned above.
I do not expect to have Soc Security when I reach retirement age and same for medicare. (Unfortunately, neither are that far off!) I have accepted that I will work until I die. Retirement is only for the gov't and union workers going forward. We in the private sector have to keep working so they can enjoy their (unfunded) government retirements.
Fortunately, I like what I do. I better. Till death.
"Romneys candor"
Filed after "frog hair" and before "rooster lips".
In time to reflect on why Romeny lost, I have realized that it was a done deal long before election day.
The election was lost by Romney when on August 7 he agreed to allow the Audit the Federal Reserve" to be added to the GOP platform. Form that point forward he was done. THere are those who will never allow an audit of the Fed to occur....ever.
The rest is just window dressing.
If I wanted that kind of "smart" comments that turn out to be really stupid and harmful, I would have voted for Newt.
More likely, after a good, hard-hitting performance in the first debate, the weak sister consultants got to him - horrified that the sight of white man beating up a somewhat blackish man on TV looked too "racist". Romney is on Romney's side, and if he had remembered that he could have won.
Admittedly, Mitt blew it. He didn't get it right, but most candidates make their points and show how different they are from their opponent early on, and then try not to open up any wounds in the last month.
Try it different next time and we'll see if it works any better.
There is nothing honest about Mitt Romney, that is why no one can pin down his politics, they change to fit each conversation.
Governor Mitt and wife Ann, were interacting with the Guatemalan illegals at their private home for 10 years. The landscaper that the illegals worked for, was a naturalized Colombian himself, personally chosen by Mitt, (A naturalized Colombian, Guatemalan illegals, and a sitting Governor during 4 years of that period), IDs better have been checked.
In December of 2006, the republican Governor was exposed, and suffered national embarrassment for using illegals for 10 years.
In December of 2007, in a national debate, Rudy Giuliani accused Mitt Romney of having run a Sanctuary Mansion. On national TV, Mitt Romney indignantly denied the claim.
A few days after the debate, the Boston Globe decided to look again at Mitts house, and guess what, they found Guatemalan illegals, they were working for the same Colombian, MITT HAD NEVER FIRED THEM!
Ten years and a national scandal, turned into 11 years, and into a second national scandal, with all the same players, the same contractor, Guatemalan illegals, and the same Mitt Romney and his wife interacting with them at their home during the week.
Voters bought into the RAT party's and MSM's propaganda that they'd lose the "free" stuff if Romney was elected. When was the last time that people lost the "free" stuff from the gummint? Lettuce recall that Obamaphones are actually Bushphones, that Social Security and unemployment are not "free stuff", as workers and their employers have been paying into these insurance pots, and that Fed's foo stam expenditures have only been growing and growing. I suppose on our side there are plenty of believers in this silly myth too, but the welfare state is, as it has been, here to stay. But the myths and stereotypes are convenient talking points and stuff of platitudes.
Romney was a RINO. McCain was a RINO. We lose.
Conservatives play nice. We bring boxing gloves to a gang gunfight. We lose.
We let them have our universities, public schools, unions, media, churches, election controls. We lose.
When do we care to stop losing?
The "47%" private remark, and I emphasize PRIVATE, as well as the "I like to fire people" comment, have been pounded into our heads by the MSM and it is the only reason they are remembered everywhere, including unfortunately here, unlike the many compromising and traitorous remarks by Obamessiah, chronologically starting perhaps with the complaints to his mother that he was working for the "enemy" during his short stint in private sector, and now we have reminders about Romney's illegal gardeners, too, who, I suppose, took the jobs of hard working American software engineers. Shame!
Imagine this past election if the "enemy" complaint had been advertised by the MSM in the same way and as much as 47%!
To defeat the King, you have to kill him. In electoral terms, you have to really destroy the President, make him a joke, expose him and make him a wounded duck. Then, people will flock to the alternative. Until then, they are afraid of being on the losing side.

Melchizedek Priesthood
The Melchizedek Priesthood is the higher or greater priesthood; the Aaronic Priesthood is the lesser priesthood. The Melchizedek Priesthood includes the keys of the spiritual blessings of the Church. Through the ordinances of the higher priesthood, the power of godliness is made manifest to men (D&C 84:18–25; 107:18–21).
God first revealed this higher priesthood to Adam. The patriarchs and prophets in every dispensation had this authority (D&C 84:6–17). It was first called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It later became known as the Melchizedek Priesthood (D&C 107:2–4).
When the children of Israel failed to live up to the privileges and covenants of the Melchizedek Priesthood, the Lord took away the higher law and gave them a lesser priesthood and a lesser law (D&C 84:23–26). These were called the Aaronic Priesthood and the law of Moses. When Jesus came to the earth, he restored the Melchizedek Priesthood to the Jews and began to build up the Church among them. However, the priesthood and the Church were lost again through apostasy. They were later restored through Joseph Smith, Jr. (D&C 27:12–13; 128:20; JS—H 1:73).
Within the Melchizedek Priesthood are the offices of elder, high priest, patriarch, Seventy, and Apostle (D&C 107). The Melchizedek Priesthood will always be a part of the kingdom of God upon the earth.
The President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the president of the high or Melchizedek Priesthood, and he holds all the keys that pertain to the kingdom of God on the earth. The calling of President is held by only one man at a time, and he is the only person on the earth authorized to exercise all priesthood keys (D&C 107:64–67; 132:7).
- Christ shall be a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek:Ps. 110:4; ( Heb. 5:6, 10;
Heb.7:11; )
- The Melchizedek Priesthood administers the gospel:Heb. 7; ( D&C 84:18–25; )
- Melchizedek exercised mighty faith and received the office of the high priesthood:Alma 13:18;
- The Melchizedek Priesthood was conferred on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery:D&C 27:12–13; ( JS—H 1:72; )
- This priesthood received by oath and covenant:D&C 84:33–42;
- There are two divisions or grand heads, the Melchizedek and the Aaronic priesthoods:D&C 107:6;
- The Melchizedek Priesthood holds the rights to administer all spiritual blessings:D&C 107:8–18;
- Moses, Elias, and Elijah gave Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery priesthood keys:D&C 110:11–16;
- I now give unto you the officers belonging to my priesthood, that ye may hold the keys thereof:D&C 124:123;

2. I'm a newbee, please send all advice on running copper lines under ground (from house to garage). I am concerned about heat loss (water heater is in the house). What do I use for this and to protect the pipe from being damaged? How deep do I barry them?
3. Is it better to have the male end of a water line stick out of the sheet rock so the flex lines can be screwed on easily (or should I leave it where it will be barried by sheet rock)? The flanges I'm about to use are almost flat so they will not cover much.
Thank you all in advance,
