6 Ways to Prepare for George Wythe College
By Elizabeth Smailes and Meghan Schulthies
This fall, thousands of new college freshmen will begin their undergraduate journey. At George Wythe College, or any college for that matter, we suggest that there are 5 types of incoming freshmen. Knowing these types can help you or your child better prepare for college and George Wythe in particular.
Type 5 is what we'll refer to as the Acted Upon student. Their allegiance is misplaced and so the choices they make are more about what will please others than what will help them to become who they were meant to be. Often, they attend a particular school because it is chosen for them. It might be the school their parents want them to go to, or the college their older sister is attending or where their mom is getting her Master's degree. Unless they change, Type 5 student's either quit or rebel when they get a taste of freedom or remain "acted upon" throughout their educational experience.
Type 4 is the Why am I Here? student. They go to college, but they don't really know why. At George Wythe, such a student might fill his or her mentor meetings with "I don't know what I'm doing here", "Maybe I should go to art school", or "Maybe I should go serve someone in Mexico or become an Australian tour guide". When study becomes hard, if a Type 4 doesn't rise to the occasion and push through, they will likely waste their time with doubting dialogue, reading only half of the assigned material or wanting to create their own syllabus using previously read works.
Type 3 is the What Should I Do? student. Should I read this book? Should I write this paper, should I change mentors? Should I study or work or play today? The "what should I do" student will choose to submit to a mentor one day and the next go back to the drawing board. They are unfocused and noncommittal, making it difficult to get a quality education, because they constantly vacillate back and forth.
Type 2 is the Who am I? student. They purposefully chose a particular school, they know why they are there and they know what they need to do. For the Type 2 student at George Wythe, serious study and coming face to face with greatness propels them to self-examination. Though "who am I?" is one of the hardest questions to answer, they realize that until they answer it they cannot become a Type 1 student.
Type 1 is the How Can I Repair the Universe? student. With the addition of a clear understanding of who they are, the Type 1 student is ready for a leadership education and application. Such a student will do whatever it takes to get a world class education, this student is ready to study 8 hours a day and work a part-time or full-time job to pay their way through school.
With proper preparation every student will have the Type 1 educational experience. Below are six suggested ways to prepare any student to become a Type 1 student.
1- Submit to a Mentor
In order to be a Type 1 student you must learn how to submit to a mentor. This mentor could be a parent, a piano teacher, a religious leader or a supervisor at work. Some students get to college convinced they know more than their mentor and seek ways to justify not doing half of what he or she says. While it is true that it's your education, it's also true that you need a guide. The greatest minds in history have all submitted to a mentor.
2-Attend Freshman Prep
Attending Freshman Prep is the best way we've found to prepare a Type 1 student. Dr. Andrew Groft, Provost and Mentor at George Wythe College describes his experience with Freshman Prep students this way:
"Generally my incoming freshmen students who have attended Freshman Prep are more stable, more mature and ready to get to work compared to my other in-coming students. The foundation laid in that summer course, I am convinced, helps students get much more out of their freshman year."
Unlike the on-campus classes, Freshman Prep is not focused on the material but on the tools the student needs to learn and retain the material. We have watched the Freshman Prep students educationally mature much faster than students that did not attend.
Freshman Prep is a 3-week course that gets the student away from home into a college environment. Our topic of study is not history or economics, but the students themselves; how they learn, how they read, how they write and what they need from a mentor. We do this through studying classics, addressing great questions, discussions, simulations and mentoring. After taking the course students feel more secure in the knowledge of what they need and therefore are better able to communicate those needs to a mentor: and not because they were told but because they discovered for themselves.
One Freshman Prep student described her experience this way:
"Freshman Prep was a wonderful experience for me. Not only was I introduced to the teaching styles that are prominent at George Wythe, but it also helped me find my own individual learning style. Taking this class helped me feel ready to come to George Wythe and also helped me feel more confident as an incoming freshman." Kristen M., Sophomore, Las Vegas, NV
The 2008 Freshman Prep seminar is being held July 7th through the 25th. Registrations close June 20th. For more information click here.
3- Have an Experience with the "Real World"
There is a vast difference of maturity between an incoming student who has never lived away from home, never had to provide for themselves financially, never had to really take FULL responsibility for their actions and one who has. Having an experience with the "Real World" could mean getting a job, opening a business, paying rent while at home, paying your own car insurance, etc. These actions foster an independent entrepreneurial attitude, which is essential to leadership education.
4- Write an Opinion or Editorial Piece to an Unfamiliar Audience
In mentoring pre-college students we've seen amazing growth occur through this simple yet difficult process. You have an opinion but can you express it? A Type 1 student needs to be able to communicate their opinion to a general audience.
5- Teach
Individuals that make a difference teach either through word or action. There are some epiphanies that can only be gained through teaching. The most successful incoming students are those that have had a previous teaching experience, preferably one with a Core Phase audience. Having taught, we study differently. In a classroom environment, we more often come prepared to share with and teach fellow students. The teaching environment is also a training ground for oral exams and dealing with criticism. During examinations, students are sometimes asked to, "teach me something." Many freshmen experience difficulty converting facts and principles learned into a coherent instructional format.
6- Be alone
When one is thinking, writing or reading alone (even without music in the background) they develop their own opinions and receive their own epiphanies. Many in-coming freshmen are not able to be alone. In order to be able to study eight hours a day they need to feel comfortable being in the corner of a library, in their room or on top of a mountain, alone with their books and their ideas.
As the need for statesmen increases, the need for Type 1 students becomes essential. If you're planning on attending George Wythe or any other college in the future, prepare now by attending Freshman Prep or taking the necessary steps you need to be a Type 1 student. The world needs great leaders but in order to be a great leader one must first BE a great student.

Two Clonmel stores scoop retailing awards
Two Clonmel stores were proud winners at the Londis Retailing Excellence Awards 2013, crowning the final day of the Group's conference entitled "Londis – Local Matters"
The conference recognised the strong role that Londis Retailers play in their respective communities, providing employment, sourcing local products, supporting local causes and servicing the needs of the communities in which they operate.
McDermott's Londis Western Rd picked up a Silver Retailing Excellence Award and McDermott's Londis Irishtown won a Silver Retailing Excellence Award and a best in category award for Newspaper & Magazine Store of the Year. Aherne's Londis Thurles was honoured with a Gold Retailing Excellence Award.
In winning these awards, the stores were independently audited across a range of criteria including the emphasis placed on customer care, the quality of their fresh food offering, the depth and breadth of their product range, and the store's commitment to upholding the highest standards of hygiene and food safety. The three exemplary Londis retailers received their awards in recognition of their commitment to implementing exceptionally high standards throughout their stores, thereby providing an excellent customer experience to their local communities.
On presenting the awards, Stephen O'Riordan, Chief Executive ADM Londis, congratulated the three stores: "In 2013 we launched our new 'Local like you' campaign in recognition of the relationship that Londis retailers have with their communities. As we see it, being truly local means boosting the local community, creating local jobs, and supporting the unique and distinct character of the cities, towns and villages in which we operate, whilst offering real choice, friendly service and exceptional value to the local people upon whom we rely for a successful future in business. Londis retailers have worked tirelessly throughout the past year to represent the Londis brand in the best possible way, maintaining exceptionally strong standards in store and thereby reassuring their customers that shopping local really is the best choice. Congratulations to Aherne's and McDermott's Western Rd and Irishtown, Clonmel on an exceptional performance this year."

Former CITIC Pacific Senior Executive Charged with Insider Dealing
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has commenced criminal proceedings against Mr Chui Wing Nin, a former senior executive of CITIC Pacific Limited (CITIC Pacific), for alleged insider dealing in the company's shares prior to a profit warning issued in 2008.
Chui appeared in the Eastern Magistracy today and pleaded not guilty to two counts of insider dealing. Acting Principal Magistrate, Mr. David Dufton fixed the pre-trial review on 20 October 2011. Chui was released on $50,000 bail.
As the Assistant Director of the Finance Department of CITIC Pacific, Chui was the deputy head of finance and part of CITIC Pacific's senior management.
The SFC alleges Chui sold a total of 81,000 shares of CITIC Pacific on 9 and 12 September 2008 whilst in possession of confidential, price sensitive information about CITIC Pacific's foreign exchange losses arising from various foreign exchange derivatives contracts before those losses were disclosed to the market. The SFC alleges Chui avoided a notional loss of about $1.36 million.
CITIC Pacific later issued a profit warning on 20 October 2008 disclosing the foreign exchange losses.

Hm, what about SERIALIZABLE isolation level in Oracle? I don't see that it's any different from similar isolation level in MSSQL.

Yeah, right. Now, tell me where to find managers who understand what kind of DB architects they really need. And who prefer architects proposing more expensive, although correct, solutions. And, of course, offline reporting (and all solutions you propose are actually variants of it) is not always what customer wants.

No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie
My love for peanut butter includes this no bake peanut butter chocolate pie. 🙂 My most favorite candy ever will always be peanut butter cups. I love peanut butter, but it's taken to a whole new level when it's completely surrounded in chocolate. In a similar way, this peanut butter pie is ordinary but bumped to extraordinary with a chocolate ganache spread on top.
Thankfully, chocolate ganache isn't as hard to prepare as it sounds. The name alone just screams "I'll take hours to make" but that really isn't so.
I love to bake but no bake sweets like these are neat for when the oven is being used or it's just too hot outside for baking. This just takes a little stove top space for the cream to heat up and that's it.
For the crust, I like to use crushed speculoos if I can. I'll use any combo of graham crackers, speculoos or even those round vanilla wafer cookies. I don't usually bake the crust, but I do let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours before adding the filling and ganache.
You could make this even easier and just purchase a pre made graham cracker crust if you prefer.
It's both a blessing and a not-blessing that my other half strongly dislikes peanut butter. I don't mind the more-pie-for-me approach but it's so hard to be sensible when there an irresistible pie staring at me. He does really love chocolate and I saw him eyeballing this pie the last time I made it. I didn't want to be mean so I warned him about the peanut butter and away he went. Out of the corner of my eye I'm pretty sure I saw him try to pick off the chocolate. 🙂 I don't blame him. That little layer makes all the difference in the world.
Isn't chocolate awesome?! I love the monthly chocolate party. 🙂 Would you like to join us?

- Once cream begins to boil, remove from heat and pour over chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Stir with a whisk until smooth.
- Allow ganache to cool for at least 15 minutes. After chocolate has cooled down to room temp, divide evenly into two portions and spread evenly over each pie.

PS2 is still Square's main objective
According to the latest issue of Famitsu Weekly, Square plans to keep the PS2 its main focus with the upcoming Final Fantasy titles. With the recent information regarding the agreement with Nintendo and Square, many concerns were presented to the company, which is the reason for their latest statements. Both FFXI and FFXII will be released on the PS2, as it is Square's top priority console. As for the specifics on what style of Final Fantasy games will be released for Nintendo, Square simply replied, "a new type of game". Both the GameCube and GameBoy Advance are expected to receive Final Fantasy titles, however, it appears they will be different then the exclusive PS2 titles. PSX Extreme will keep you updated on this topic.

Auburn 8 #20 Alabama 6
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference's top offense got the better of the second-best pitching staff in the league as Auburn claimed an 8-6 non-conference win over No. 16 Alabama in the second annual Capital City Classic at Riverwalk Stadium on Wednesday night. Auburn reliever Michael Hurst was named the game's Most Valuable Player as he shut down the Alabama offense in the middle innings to pick up the win for Auburn, which has now won seven straight games.
"It was a typical Auburn-Alabama baseball game. Both teams played one heck of a ball game tonight," Auburn Head Coach John Pawlowski said. "Michael Hurst came in in middle relief and did an outstanding job for us. Add in Austin Hubbard and when you have to step up and make big pitches, I thought these guys did a really good job for us."
#23 Vanderbilt 18 Wright State 2
NASHVILLE — Vanderbilt broke open a 2-1 contest with a 10-run third inning, highlighted by a grand slam homer by Brian Harris and a three-run homer by Jason Esposito and rolled to a 18-2 win over Wright State Wednesday night at Hawkins Field.
"These midweek games are very difficult to play," said Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin. "I knew they were a good team because we had a tough time with them last year after they beat Georgia. The game got away from them. It doesn't diminish my thoughts of them as a team. I know how they feel because we felt that way last Tuesday (17-2 loss to WKU). It's the nature of the game. I'm happy with how we played because we hit the ball very well. We had a lot of hard balls, quality at-bats, and some great defense."

Mississippi State 7 Memphis 6
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State (12-9) struck for four runs in the seventh inning Wednesday night to rally past the University of Memphis (9-12) at Dudy Noble Field. The Bulldogs trailed the Tigers 5-1 after four innings before staging the comeback.

After having owned the 1991 MR2 turbo for about 13 years, it was finally time for a change. I had been on the look-out for something to replace the MR2 with for a long while, and nothing was really peaking my interest until BMW built the 135i and populated the engine bay with a twin turbo inline six engine - a personal favorite setup! It reminds me of the old Toyota Supra twin turbo from the early 1990's. The BMW uses two very small turbocharges that deliver peak torque at an amazingly low 1400RPM. I didn't want to get rid of the MR2, but I can only have one true car love at a time. The MR2 was, at this point, 18 years old, and although I had everything working great at the time I sold it, I suspected that it would only be a matter of time before something else failed. I enjoy wrenching, but I enjoy driving much more. In addition, I was afraid of track driving the MR2 - I was afraid of blowing head gaskets, overheating, and other failures that are annoying to fix again and again! Truth is, I could fix the MR2 many times over for the price of the BMW, but I can drive the BMW as hard as I want at the track and nothing brakes. That, combined with just how much fun I have in the 135i equals selling the MR2.
I test drove the 135i and immediately loved it. It handles great, is nimble like the MR2 and doesn't feel huge and heavy like so many other cars of today. I went to Carmax and test drove a 2006 Cayman S with 38k miles on it. It is a good looking car - better looking in person. It has a very 'me' appearance to it! :-) It sounds great while driving - driving position is excellent, heel toeing is easy - over all driving it is easy. I didn't get to test out the handling hardly at all, except for swerving while on a straight road, and I actually thought it looser than what I expected. That said, the one word that describes the Cayman is controlled. It always feels super controlled, and no doubt would be mega fast on a track. I floored it several times, and it pulls pretty good from down low, and then around 5500RPM you get another dash of power. It just sounds amazing. Shifting it at high revs makes cool noises. It pulls very linearly and power is really easy to control. Gas pedal is nicely weighted - brakes are perfect. The interior is nice and I love the front and rear trunk. Mid-engined layout is the way to go. It is certainly more sporty than the 1 series, and better looking, but the 135i is more fun. The steering wheel is really thin - needs to be thicker! Not sure if something was wrong with the one I drove, but shifting into second was kinda rough. No sunroof! When comparing engines - the BMW just wins by miles. When you floor the BMW something special happens - right now. The torque rush is just amazing on that engine, and you move out. Then on top of that you can do a reflash and get another 80HP and 100ft-lbs of torque! Incredible. The Cayman is more top end focused, which is what I'm used to.
There's little doubt the Cayman will be faster on a track, and will handle better than the 135, but I think the 135 will be a more fun car to own and drive on a regular basis. For me the 135 is just so nice mainly because of that twin turbo engine - I want to drive one again. In a way the Cayman is too controlled - the BMW feels more exciting.
I also looked into the Nissan 370z, but I just couldn't deny the awesomeness of the BMW N54 twin turbo engine. I love turbo engines, and this one is amazing - packed with technology like direct injection, and variable valve timing. The bottom line with the 135i is that it is just plain fun to drive!

Google Wave - Disappointed?
November 19, 2009 ·
As Google Wave rolls out more invitations, I'm seeing a lot of people complaining that it doesn't seem to do much useful stuff. I'm actually finding Google Wave very useful. So why do I like it and many other people don't? I came across a great blog post by Daniel Tenner that asks "What problems does Google Wave solve?" where he talks a lot about what Google Wave is not and that provides a big clue as to why many people aren't finding it very useful. Most of the complaints and confusion I see are from people whose experience is just public waves. That's understandable. We have no point of reference for completely open collaboration tools, except perhaps wikis. But a wiki has (some) structure and has 'pages' and 'content' and a sense of navigation. That's missing from Google Wave - by design, since that's not what it is aimed it. Public waves really are a waste of time (in my experience so far). Where Google Wave really shines is in closed group collaboration. If you have a team that is working on a project that needs to refine ideas, concepts, proposals, documents and be able to maintain discussion threads in context, then Google Wave can be very effective. Waves work best when they have a narrow focus and a set of dedicated contributors - rather than some random, open-ended topic and a big crowd of people going "So, what's this Google Wave all about then?". And, no, I don't have any invites at the moment. I'll tweet when I do.

I agree 100% with you Sean. I'm finding Wave to be a great collaboration tool for small-medium closed ecosystems. I'm already developing wave extensions that are more specific to collaborative application development (think collaborative UML).
I've found it very useful working one-on-one with a remote developer for tracking TODO items and bugs. Far less likely to lose things down the cracks and easier to keep tabs on where things are up to.
I think most people are complaining because they can't actually experience Google Wave until they can send invitations to their friends/colleagues; being the only one opening the application with no one to share the experience with is really... stupid! you need someone to interact with, yet you have no invitations to send.
Another thing to add is that Google Wave is still Pre-Beta; lots of bugs, missing features, etc.
When they distributed invitations, they were thinking more about how to improve and push the service more than how useful it is right now.
I like it and can see it being useful in some circumstances. My one gripe is that it's "one more thing to check"
I haven't really explored available extensions - but it would be nice to find something that plugged into Gmail or something that would ping you when a Wave is updated.

The most popular female singing group of the 1950s and well into the 1960s was the McGuire Sisters. They earned the crown by easily edging out the Chordettes and the Fontane Sisters. Through their exceptional talent in harmony, they became America's favorites as well as around the world. Asa McGuire, a veteran steelworker with Armco Steel, who played guitar and Lillie, an ordained minister and pastor of the Miamisburg, Ohio First Church of God were the parents of the talented trio that included, Christine, born July 30, 1928, Dorothy, born February 13, 1930 and Phyllis, born February 14, 1931~Source musicianguide.com

Stormwater Management Program
Stormwater runoff is a significant source of pollutants to the Bay. Pollutants such as trash, litter, sand, sediment, petroleum products leaking from motor vehicles, heavy metals in the dust from motor vehicle brake pads and diesel exhaust, animal feces, excess fertilizers and pesticides, and others are carried to the Bay by urban runoff as a result of rain or excessive irrigation, or other sources of water in the urban environment. The major inputs of stormwater to San Diego Bay include the Sweetwater River, Otay River, Switzer Creek, Chollas Creek, Paradise Creek, and all the surface runoff from downtown San Diego and other urbanized areas discharged through approximately 200 storm drain outlets.

Davao Overview
Davao City in southern Philippines —the de facto cultural, economic and political epicenter of Mindanao— is voted the country's most liveable urban center for many years running. Davao's got it all: pristine white beaches, thick rainforests, teeming wildlife sanctuaries, sunny island retreats, green mountain resorts, envigorating city parks, lush timberland, pineapple/banana/coffee/coconut plantations, and a balmy typhoon-free weather all year round.
Its more important residents —besides the spontaneous, laid-back and fun-loving Davaoeño locals— include the Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), one of the world's biggest and most powerful birds of prey; Waling-Waling (Vanda sanderiana), the world's largest orchid species; and the three-peaked Mt. Apo, the country's highest mountain at nearly 3,000 meters.
There's plenty of breathing space to be had here, too. Davao's 2,444-square-kilometer land area can cover the whole expanse of the cities of London, Moscow, New York and Paris put together, plus maybe six or seven soccer fields to fill the loose gaps. In contrast, it has only about 1.8-million inhabitants (as of 2005), compared to Paris —just a little less than 90 km² of it— with over 2-million residents. While the country's literacy rate is pegged at 93.9%, Davao City rakes in a high 98.05%.

Fishing to heat up near the shore
If you like to catch trout from the shore, start paying attention to Utah's fishing reports—some of the best shore fishing of the year is about to begin.
Ice is starting to pull away from shorelines at various mid-elevation waters around the state. As the ice pulls away, the sun hits the shallow water near the shore. If it doesn't get cloudy or windy, the sun can warm the water fast.
As the water warms, trout and other cold water fish move into the shallow water in search of food. And these fish are hungry—it's been awhile since they've had a decent meal.
"At many of the state's waters, spring is the very best time to fish from the shore," says Roger Wilson, cold water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. "It's a great time to take your kids fishing. They can catch a bunch of fish using simple techniques."
Usually lasts one to two weeks
If the sun comes out and the wind doesn't blow much, fishing during "ice off" can stay fast and furious for one to two weeks. Then, after a couple of weeks, the ice recedes even farther from the shore. As the ice recedes, water in other parts of the reservoir or lake starts to warm up too. "When that happens, the trout start to disperse and move away from the shore," Wilson says.
Your ice-off fishing experience doesn't need to last only a week or two, though—if you stay updated on which waters are starting to open, and you're willing to travel a bit, you can extend your ice-off fishing experience into May.
Wilson says lower and mid-elevation waters will open first, followed by waters at higher elevations. "Depending on which waters you'd like to fish," he says, "ice off will start anywhere from mid March to mid May."
Staying updated
You can stay updated on where the ice is coming off a number of ways. Visiting fishing-related websites and chat lines is one of the best. The following provide good fishing information for Utah:
Stores that sell fishing tackle, such as Sportsman's Warehouse and Fish Tech Outfitters, also provide excellent, up-to-date information. Stores located at various marinas around the state are also good information sources.
"Also, pay attention to what the anglers around you are using," Wilson says. "If they're catching fish with a certain lure or bait, and you have that same lure or bait, put it on your line and start using it."
Be patient
Wilson says trout usually group together in schools and cruise the shoreline during ice-off. For that reason, it's important to be patient.
"You have to be patient in the spring," Wilson says. "You can sit for awhile with no action, and then—all of the sudden— it's 'pop, pop, pop' as the trout move through the area and hit your bait or lure."
Tips for success
Wilson provides the following tips for success:
PowerBait, worms and nightcrawlers are excellent baits to use during ice off. Wilson recommends placing a large sinker on your line, a foot or two above your bait, and then casting your bait and letting it float just off the bottom of the water you're fishing.
Lures and flies
If you decide to use a lure or a fly, try one that imitates a leech. Dark-colored tube jigs and grubs are excellent lures to try, while dark wooly buggers are the ticket for fly anglers.
Wilson suggests coating your bait or lure with Smelly Jelly or another type of scent. "This is especially important if you're fishing a plastic lure," he says. "Even if a fish has already struck your lure, if the lure has some scent on it, there's a good chance the fish will strike it again."
Cast onto the ice
Wilson says casting your bait onto the ice, and then reeling it so it falls into the water next to the edge of the ice, is a good spot to fish your bait.
The edge of the ice is also an excellent spot to place your lure before you start retrieving it.
Learn more
You can learn more about fishing at ice off by listening to an interview Wilson did for the DWR's weekly radio show.
The interview is available at wildlife.utah.gov/radio.

During a recent holiday, I was finding photos to preserve for personal family reasons and found this. I believe it was once owned by my wife's mother. Wedding postcard of Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Petruzella taken February 20, 1955 in Alabama (probably Birmingham). Most likely related to my mother-in-law, as her mother's last name was Petruzella. Probably a cousin. Photographer listed as V. Cappalonga but no longer in business.

Restaurant Coffee Mugs from Ventura China Tampa
Restaurant coffee mugs are sturdily built cups used for—as their name suggests—drinking coffee and other hot beverages like tea and hot chocolate. Restaurant coffee mugs have handles and are designed to hold a larger amount of liquid compared to other types of cups.
Ventura China coffee mugs, similar to other types of restaurant coffee mugs, are usually larger than tea cups. Also—unlike tea cups, which are usually suited for use in formal place settings—restaurant coffee mugs are considered a much less formal type of drink container, frequently used in casual food-service establishments like diners, greasy spoons, and the like.
Restaurant coffee mugs are an excellent compliment to complete coffee-making equipment. Here at Rapids Wholesale, we have a wide selection of commercial coffee-making equipment, which include coffee and espresso makers, coffee airpots, coffee warmers, coffee decanters, and commercial coffee grinders.
Details and Features of Ventura China Coffee Mugs
- Ivory white color
- 7 oz capacity
- Ventura China coffee mugs are sold in 3 dozen pieces per case
- Ventura China coffee cups and mugs perfect for use in fast-paced and busy casual food-service establishments

Skip to comments.4 Supreme Court Cases define "natural born citizen"
Posted on 01/10/2010 6:03:15 PM PST by STE=Q
Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a natural born citizen is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President, it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.
Lets cut through all the opinion and speculation, all the he says, she says, fluff, and go right to the irrefutable, constitutional authority on all terms and phrases mentioned in the U.S. Constitution: the Supreme Court of the United States.
First, let me note that there are 4 such cases which speak of the notion of natural born citizenship.
(Excerpt) Read more at thepostemail.com ...
First time I've seen one of these threads that wasn't infested by the usual gang of deceivers.
It is "understood" by those with logical minds capable of determining the intent of the words of the author -- something that is foreign to the minds of liberals and Obots.
Yes, the actual requirement is for the President to be a natural born citizen of the United States or a citizen of the United States at the time the Constitution was adopted.
10-4! Thank you both!
"§ 1473. It is indispensable, too, that the president should be a natural born citizen of the United States; or a citizen at the adoption of the constitution, and for fourteen years before his election. This permission of a naturalized citizen to become president is an exception from the great fundamental policy of all governments, to exclude foreign influence from their executive councils and duties. It was doubtless introduced (for it has now become by lapse of time merely nominal, and will soon become wholly extinct) out of respect to those distinguished revolutionary patriots, who were born in a foreign land, and yet had entitled themselves to high honors in their adopted country."
Which means that if Obama was born in Kenya, then he isn't a natural-born citizen because federal law at the time only gave U.S. citizenship at birth to a child born abroad with one U.S. citizen parent if such parent had lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years after the age of 14 (and Obama's mother hadn't yet turned 19 years of age when he was born). However, if Obama was born in Hawaii, then he's a U.S. citizen at birth and thus a natural-born citizen.
"... thus, a natural-born citizen is someone that is a citizen at birth, while a naturalized citizen becomes a citizen later in life." By mistating your premise to include that which you wish to establish as singular truth, you have deceived readers and yourself. Naturalized is a process reached through statute, ie, some legal statute establishes citizenship. By statute is not a state achieved by meeting the primary definition of natural born. Even you can think up a case where someone born on American soil but not a natural born citizen at birth and not a citizen at birth can become a citizen by statute passed later in life yet reaching back to date of birth, state of parents' citizenship, and location. [HINT: think children born to diplomats and years later Congress establishes a statute covering siad child born to a diplomat of a foreign country.]
A child of foreign diplomats born in the U.S. is not a U.S. citizen because U.S. laws (and, less relevantly, the 14th Amendment) in existence well before 1961 and still in effect today specifically state that the children of foreign diplomats do not acquire U.S. citizenship merely by being born in the U.S. However, the laws of the U.S. in 1961 said that the child of a U.S. citizen and a foreigner is a U.S. citizen at birth if he was born in the U.S. Ergo, if Obama was born in Hawaii, he was a U.S. citizen at birth; if he was born abroad, then he wasn't (because his citizen mother hadn't lived in the U.S. for 5 at least years past the age of 14 as the statute required in cases of foreign birth).
Your theory is that a person can be a U.S. citizen at birth and not be a natural-born citizen. I disagree with you, as did, apparently, Joseph Story. That doesn't prove that you are wrong, but at the very least you should accept that that passage from Story's Commentaries is a point in my favor.
I'm not in some sort of contest with you; I just find natural born—based upon the writings from the eras of our Constitution being written and by whom it was written, their comments on the subject—to mean two American citizen parents and born on American soil or territory (as in an embassy or military base rented lands). Changing the Constitution by fiat fits leftist fascist design, but it is anti-American in the main.
McCain was tested for his "Natural Born Citizenship" by congress before he ran for President. He was qualified because both his parents were Americans at the time of his birth.
Obama was not, because he would not pass the test. It was a brilliant move by Dems to focus on McCain and then be generous to allow him to run. They had no issues running against a feeble old man. Getting Obamma past this requirement was their motive. (IE, "We gave you a gold plated pass for your Panamanian born senator, now leave us alone.")
That opened the door for Obama to get in without being given a natural born citizen test.
Believe me, the fact that Obamma was not tested like McCain was not an accident. Harry Ried was running the show, and he slected Obama to run. We have never seen any original documents for Obama, and he was in fact born a British subject. As a matter of Fact, not opinion, we now have a "British born subject" running the American government.
A pity that John Jay never said that though. Still how can we argue with Birther logic?
No, it's not. Three of those cases do not deal with the question of natural-born citizenship and the fourth doesn't say what the author thinks it says.
You're right, we're not in a contest—I apologize for using language that implied that we were.
Regarding your expanded definition of U.S. soil, federal law does not grant birthright citizenship to persons born in U.S. military bases abroad or in U.S. embassies or consulates. If a Cuban woman gives birth in the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base to a baby whose father is also a non-citizen, then the baby would not be a U.S. citizen at birth under federal law, the same as if the baby had been born outside of the base. Same goes with an embassy—if a cleaning woman gives birth in the U.S. embassy in Moscow, the baby wouldn't be a U.S. citizen. This is because while in conversation people use terms such as "U.S. soil" or "U.S. jurisdiction" to refer to embassies and military bases abroad, such places are legally part of the sovereign territory of the foreign nation surrounding them and the only "jurisdiction" that the U.S. has is what was given to us by treaty.
Of course, if what matters is whether or not a person is a U.S. citizen at birth, irrespective of where he was born, then it doesn't matter whether the child of U.S. citizens was born in a hospital inside or outside of the U.S. military base, since he is a U.S. citizen at birth under federal law irrespective of where he was born.
Rest assured, You are not alone in belittling Americans who know the law by calling them "birthers".
The truth remains: He is the first to assume the presidency, after the founders, with numerous claims to citizenship rights to multiple countries. The NBC clause is there to stop this exact situation.
On the contrary, I'm belittling Birthers who don't know the law.
The truth remains: He is the first to assume the presidency, after the founders, with numerous claims to citizenship rights to multiple countries. The NBC clause is there to stop this exact situation.
Ah if you could only point to where the Constitution defines natural-born citizen in a way which supports your position.
Common sense defines it. He was born on United States soil (let's assume) the son of a father who was at all times a UK/Kenyan citizen.
Which, according to the 14th Amendment, made him a citizen of the United States from the moment of birth. Since the Constitution only identifies two forms of citizenship, and since Obama wasn't naturalized, then that narrows his status down to natural-born.
I read where they had to exempt themselves at the time and it was legislation because there was no way that anyone would have been eligible since the country was so young.
It strikes me as strange to insist in this case on an explicit definition in the Constitution itself, given the fact that the Constitution routinely uses a lot of other terms without defining them; and so, quite a few interpretations in many other cases (not just regarding natural-born citizenship) have been based on discerning the intent of the framers and determining their likely use of language as understood at the time. Why is that not allowed now?
So then who were the natural born citizens before the 14th Amendment????????????
The meaning of "Is" is subject to interpretation. "Arms" is not defined in the constitution, therefore congress can out law guns and must not regulate T-shirts.
Natural born Citizen is not defined, therefore A British born Subject can run for president.
When the terms of language are set upon quicksand as you insist, there is no constitution. There is no law. There is no justice. People then set the rules on their own terms with their own instruments of justice, as they must, as they are forced to.

If your TOGC 25 man geared, the flask of mojo is a great tool to give you some great flexibility for learning ICC and having some leg-room to overheal a bit. I say that because with over 3k unbuffed spell power the frost wyrm flask doesn't really make or break a heal unless you're focused on main tank healing meanwhile if you're healing an entire raid (and healing a bit more since its new content) the mojo seems to really help.
Thats my 2 cents 2 clears of ICC 25 and 10 man..

SQUEEEEE!!! Yes I am that excited about this technique and I am loving it. For some reason I had been putting off learning this. Actually turns out there is nothing to learn. It is just as easy and simple as Raglan sleeve shaping but looks so much more polished and finished. I am a lover of top down seamless knitting. I just feel that it is less of a hassle and uses knitted fabric's attributes. Knitting can be three dimensional using increases and decreases and can be shaped to fit your body.
This method was created by SuzieM on ravelry. She has a wonderful, very helpful and amazing group there too to help you with any questions. This method has been around since 2010 and is quite popular, the group has a page listing many of the patterns that use this way of making sleeves.
You should totally check it out.

Dog wash raises money for police K9 program
Contra Costa Times
Wash a dog and help the police at any Pet Food Express store Oct. 15 and 16.
Either donate directly or pay $15 for tokens to use the store's dog washing stations to raise money for "Cover your K9," a group that provides safety equipment for police dogs.
There's no limit on the number of tokens a person can purchase that day, and all of the money goes toward the fundraiser.
"This is one of our favorite fundraisers of the year, because it's an opportunity for our company along with our customers to directly help the brave men and women (and K9s) who protect our communities everyday," said Pet Food Express Co-owner Michael Levy in a news release.
Last year, Pet Food Express and its customers raised $85,000 to buy bulletproof vests, trauma kits and heat sensors for police dogs in Northern California. The pet store has raised more than $165,000 for Cover Your K9 over the past three years.
Police canine officers and their loyal police dogs will visit Pet Food Express stores throughout Northern California on Oct 15 and 16 from 11 a.m.to 1 p.m. to share stories about the important jobs that the canine partners help accomplish.

Last Monday, I wrote a post about taking off our masks, and opening up to the Safe Places in our lives. Today, I want to reveal the day my mask came off…
As I walked into Merry's office three year ago, it was like walking into a whole new world. Her office was warm and inviting. Inside was a long white comfy couch with soft throws and pillows. A candle was lit on her side table. Her chair was facing the couch but close enough where the atmosphere was intimate. Her book shelf had a plethora of books and CD's on relationships, spirituality and health. She has a filing cabinet where my little file was slipped inside at the end of every meeting… tucked away into the heart of God.
After taking a scan of the room, I nervously sat on the couch with perfect posture, legs crossed, and with pen and notepad in hand.
Merry asked in her soft, kind voice, "So what brings you here, Deidre?" I fumbled as I found my two page typed document that I had prepared for her (yes, I'm Type A). It had a list of everything I could think of that brought me to that moment on Merry's comfy white couch.
I am sure that in that moment, God was both crying and laughing as I handed Merry that paper. He and Merry knew something that I did not. I was not there to be corrected or given a grade… I was there to have a Safe Place for my true feelings. A place where I could expose my tangled, bleeding heart…
To my surprise, Merry tucked the paper away in my little manila file and looked back up at me and said in the most genuine way possible, "Tell me what you have going on in your heart."
I slowly began to open up to her about the constant back/neck/shoulder pain, the persistent nausea, fatigue, dizziness, migraines, short-term memory loss, and weight loss that I had been hiding from my family and friends for the past 11 months. I explained to her that my doctor thought I might have a brain tumor but, thankfully, the MRI came back normal, and that the numerous blood tests came back as normal. I told her that when the testing was all said and done, the doctors had to gently tell me that I had made myself sick enough to feel like I had cancer. They informed me that I was in fact suffering from depression and anxiety.
It was almost comical when my doctor asked if I was under any stress. I quickly and confidently shot back, "No, not at all." To my complete surprise, my husband announced to the doctor that, "Actually yes, she's been under a lot of stress for a long time."
I wish I had more than 1,000 words to relay every moment that had fostered and nurtured the deeply hidden depression and anxiety that I had three years ago. To sum it up too simply, throughout my life several key events and relationships reinforced this silly notion that I had to be perfect, and that there was no room for error in my life.
For most of my life, I was so dedicated to simply "pushing forward" and neglecting my true feelings, that the mask I wore bore the heavy burden of total self deception. I thought I was fine.
I was not, fine.
I had tried to deny the diagnosis of depression and anxiety. I knew there just HAD to be a clinical, biological answer for the constant physical pain I was in. My doctor explained to me that stress and anxiety put people in hospital beds, can cause miscarriages, and that it can make us susceptible to cancer.
I remember shaking so hard as I shared this information with Merry because at the time, I was so embarrassed to admit my imperfections and to face the truth about the State of My Heart.
Of course, I didn't need to be embarrassed. I had found my Safe Place. The first one I'd ever had in my life where there were no strings attached. No need to impress. No fear that Merry would walk away from me. She embraced me right where I was at. It was breath to my soul.
More things were said in those sweet 50 minutes… but what I want to leave you with today is this: If we know not to "judge a book by its cover" then we should not judge a person by their appearance or their social/political/spiritual standing. No one knew the secrets locked in my heart about my health and my emotions. It didn't mean that the good things I did in my life were "fake", but what it meant was I thought it was more important to appear "all together" than to be vulnerable and open with the people around me. The result of wearing that ugly old mask? I almost put myself in a hospital bed.
Don't make the same mistakes that I made. Love yourself enough to be YOU. I am so thankful that God provided a Safe Place in Merry where I could be open and honest. My year with her helped me to reconnect with my true self and be a more authentic Deidre. I owe you so much, sweet Merry.
Superheros in the comic books wear masks. As real Superwomen, we face the world head on. Wherever you find yourself today, find your Safe Place, and let that mask come crashing to the ground.
The truth will set you free, my friend.

Deidre, thank you so much for sharing this. I am so thankful for my own Safe Place and for being one to my sisters even when there are miles between us. Please, keep writing, keep sharing, and keep shining the light of God's love into those darkened corners of our lives!
Keandra Ewing
I absolutely love your transparency. Like you, I wore a mask for years too. I was never truly honest about how I was feeling until 2006 when I was diagnosed with an auto immune disorder. My response to how I was feeling could no longer be "I'm fine." No longer did I have the strength to act like I had it all together. For the first time, I became truly vulnerable. As a result, I became truly free.
Heather Strong
Wow, Deidre! Thanks SO much for sharing this today. I know I can relate very much to this post. I'm so grateful for all of the changes that have happened in my life to bring me to where I am today. I can't help but think of the Alicia Keys song – I am superwoman. Love you friend!

A couple consumer blogs (Consumerist, Crave) tell us today why it's not a good idea to use that $40 for a digital TV converter. The main reason? You won't need the converter for another year, and in that time prices will certainly go down and quality will improve.
Are you lost about all this? Here's a primer from the FCC on the 2009 conversion of television signals to all-digital, and what it means to you.

Students with a degree in psychology can find career opportunities working in schools, corporations, or in the social services sector. Many psychology grads work in the field of mental health, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. Psycho-analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. By comparison, Jungian therapy focuses on the collective unconscious, dream archetypes, and symbolic representation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Therapists in turn will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.
In brief therapy as outlined by Milton Erickson, the therapist treats clinical and subjective conditions faster by precise observation, and direct intervention. Rather than a prolonged analysis of historical causes, the primary approach of brief therapy is to help the client become more versatile in the present, prompting successful clients to undergo spontaneous changes. Behavioral Therapy, on the other hand, addresses both normal and abnormal behaviors. Desensitizing is classical conditioning in action, where a therapist might help a client with a phobia through repeated exposure to the causal agent. Operant conditioning is more direct, relying on rewards and punishments to shape behavior. Beyond degree requirements such as Bristol Community College social welfare programs, you may consider Colby College honors classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
