1. As a road usage tax it doesn't take into consideration gas for equipment like lawn mowers and chainsaws. 2. It doesn't take into consideration driving done on private roads or roads not maintained by the government.
#2 is pretty big in Oregon due to the amount of logging they do. There's a lot of people who spend most of their time driving on logging trails. #2 is also the reason why GPS tracking of miles driven is dumb. It could very well count miles driven on private roads.
Yup, that's what I like about Sony and Nintendo, their products have been extremely strategic, where Microsoft has seemed rather clumsy and as an after thought. In fact, I've questioned many times whether the 360 would have ever made it to market if Microsoft huge coffers weren't behind it.
1. Naturalized citizens are not natural-born citizens. 2. Citizenship by birthright does not guarantee natural-born citizenship. 3. The founders looked to what they considered the laws of nature when establishing the founding document. 4. A natural-born citizen is one that following the rules of nature (at the time of the Constitution) would be considered a US citizen. 5. People can be born in the US, but due to the laws of man, rather than the laws of nature are citizens (slaves born before 1866).
When it comes to natural-born citizen there is one, and only one state that is known and acknowledged, without argument, to be a natural-born citizen.
1. The child of two naturalized citizens that is born within the United States dominion is a natural-born citizen.
If you wish to read the article which had helped lead me to my conclusion it's here.
Replying to myself to add clarification. Obama is not the cause of a problem but rather a symptom of it. The natural-born citizen statement has never been investigated neither has it been declared what constitutes a natural-born citizen. This is an issue that needs to be resolved, or a Constitutional Amendment needs to be made to strike it from the Constitution. Obama just serves as the first suitable vessel to make this issue large enough to require a SCOTUS ruling.
Actually, the natural-born citizen is far more complicated that you might think. I was just recently writing about this in another public avenue, so I'm just going to copy what I wrote, even though it was in response to varying topics.
The issue isn't one of whether an individual is a citizen, it's what constitutes a natural-born citizen. A citizen is not necessarily a natural-born citizen. There is very little argument that an individual born within the United States is considered a citizen, even if neither parent is a citizen, we see enough of this problem with Mexicans that cross over and have a child in the US so that it's a US citizen.
SCOTUS is the only body which has the authority and power to look and officially declare what the term natural-born citizen means and what qualifications must be met to be one and settling the issue. Since the term natural-born citizen is really only utilized within the context of the POTUS, it should be the SCOTUS instead of any circuit court that establishes this.
If the 14th Amendment established natural-born citizen status, then Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bill Richardson would be eligible to become POTUS, as they are naturalized citizens, however we know this is not the case. The 14th Amendment uses the qualification "All persons born or naturalized in the United States". We know that a naturalized citizen cannot become POTUS, so axiomatically the other qualifier cannot be assumed to define a natural-born citizen. This means that just being born in the United States is not enough to qualify you as a natural born citizen. There must be other factors which lead into that, and the only logical step beyond is that it is based upon lineage. We also know that birth alone is not sufficient since individuals could be born in the United States prior to 1866 and not be considered a citizen.
An individual being a citizen by no act of law is one that early publicists agreed upon, which actually meshes very nicely with the founders, since they had a deep respect for the laws of nature. And really, for the longest time citizenship was determine through a male-centric approach. Women gained citizenship from their fathers or husbands, children from their fathers, in fact if a woman who was an American citizen married an alien she lost her citizenship. While there are laws now that children born to a single American woman are citizens, this was not always the case. The simple fact that it would be a law, presumably passed by Congress, makes it naturalization under Article I Section 8. What interpretation this lead me to is that children born of alien fathers to citizen mothers would have inherited their father's allegiance, however due to laws we established, they are instead citizens. However, without this law, the natural state would have been for the child to have been a citizen of a different country. Yes, I also realize that since law states that all individuals born within the United States are citizens you could make a claim that no one is eligible to become the POTUS, however that would be a fallacious argument as you could still look to what the natural state would have been.
Regarding Tuan Anh Nguyen v. INS Nguyen's mother was Vietnamese while his father was the American citizen. The case made it to the SCOTUS and it was a 5-4 ruling to deny him citizenship. Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter III, Part I, Section 1409 of the US code defines what children born out of wedlock to only 1 parent of American citizenship qualify for Section 1401, which defines nationality and citizenship (again not natural-born citizen). You can read it yourself, but it is extremely father centric. It requires a blood relation to the father, the father had US nationality at the time of birth, the father had to agree to financial support until the age of 18, and the child either lived with the father, the father acknowledged paternity, or paternity had been established by a competent court. What is interesting about that case is that it was initially decided in the Fifth Circuit, a

Throwing motions and throwing are separated by the release as you pointed out. If people are actually releasing the WiiMote when throwing, then they're misusing the product. Of course that hasn't stopped other similar frivolous lawsuits from coming forth, like putting your RV on cruise control and going to make a sandwich.
"Every Wii game displays a caution screen upon loading to warn the player to use the strap in order to avoid the remote slipping from the grip during erratic movements." - wikipedia
I'm guessing the WiiMote wasn't designed to be thrown. If there's games that require throwing, you should look at who the developer was and go after the developers for requiring a WiiMote action that was not within the lines of the specs.
But of course the lawsuit won't go after the developer, they'll go after who has the deepest pockets.
So you link me the armory of a user who has only completed Northrend Gourmet for cooking 15 of the recipes. Nice supporting evidence, besides which I looked at the northrend gourmet for 30 recipes and I see that none of the 4 recipes that have been classified as missing by so many WoW players have been cooked by the player.
If you're going to try to make a point, at least show someone who has actually completed the Northrend Gourmet achievement for 45 recipes, or has the tracked achievement showing one of the four recipes cooked.
The recruit a friend doesn't really give an advantage necessarily. The experience bonus only functions when partied with your friend and even then only when you're within 4 levels of each other.
Regardless, the experience bonus only functions up to level 60. The bonus doesn't affect end game, it only allows players to reach end-game quicker so that they can play it with their friend. That was one of the things that irritated me about FFXI. I played on the same server as some of my RL friends, but I never did anything with them because they were too busy leveling their main job or didn't have lower level jobs at my level.
I fail to see how the university can justify any reprisal.
From the university's policy regarding bulk-email.
âoeBulk e-mailâ in this context means the transmission of an e-mail message within a short time frame to more than a small set of recipients who may not have elected voluntarily to receive the e-mail. âoeShort time frameâ means an interval spanning as long as 2 days. âoeSmall set of recipientsâ means the size of individual-recipient address lists (To, CC, BCC fields) typical of most e-mails in common use, ranging from 1, to a few, to as many as may be involved in a large committee or work group (~20-30). Use of mailing lists and listservs to which recipients may voluntarily opt in and opt out is encouraged, and this type of e-mail distribution is not included in the meaning of âoebulk e-mailâ in this document.
Permitted uses for broad cross-University mailing. Bulk e-mailing may be used only by University offices to send communications necessary to the normal course of business and which typically require some official action be taken individually by recipients.
Student organizations whether governmental or others wise are sanctioned organizations of the college and not a university office. She pretty blatantly violated that one. Even so, student government should go through their faculty liaisons, not the entire faculty.
Here's a bit of advice, Ironjaw is catchable from the lava in Ironforge. A lot of horde like to use the Forlorn Cavern since if you sit in the back of it and/sleep while fishing, you're hard to see. I recommend fishing in the Great Forge, even though that's right next to the alliance flight point. If you jump in the northern pit of lava and swim between the wall and the big wheel you can find an invisible wall that you can jump up on that will allow you to fish. The advantages of this is that you're practically invisible to the alliance, the only way they can see you is from top down, from a very slender viewing angle in front of you, or someone has track humanoid on while in Ironforge. Even so, you can't jump out of the lava pit, so only ranged characters can even endeavor to attack you unless they're willing to jump in and hearth out.
Either the latest patch got the recipe added back to the quest, or you haven't actually done that quest, or you did the quest in the beta. A large number of people have completed that quest and did not receive the recipe. Blizzard is aware of this and has acknowledged the problem and are considering how to fix it.
All I need for my Salty is to catch one of those 12 heavy weight fish. It's probably going to match Ironjaw with regards to annoyance. Old Crafty was simple if you're horde, there was a weird glitch that came about with catching Old Crafty and the fishing daily to catch a baby crocolisk. For some reason, when you are on that quest the drop rate for Old Crafty is ridiculously high. I think it has something to do with the fishing daily increasing the drop chances of rare fish while you're on it. Hmmm, I should actually use that to try to catch one of the heavy weight fish and the sewer rat.
In this case it's an achievement that gives you a reward that you can show case. Granted it's just a title, but it's still a reward.\
For example, the Frostbitten achievement requires you to kill all 23 rare monsters in Northrend. There's no reward for doing so other than achievement points. It's not really worth wasting the time actively pursuing it. Some achievements give you mounts, some give titles, and others give you tabards. These are all things that you can show case, like any of the reward items that are bought utilizing the UDE points from the trading card game.
GMs are pretty dumb. What GMs can do is check to see if an item exists, meaning in the database, which the recipes currently are in the item database.
Besides, a blue poster has acknowledged the issue and stated that it's being addressed in an upcoming patch, which probably means the recipes aren't obtainable right now.
Perhaps you should read that achievement closer, there's 46 recipes listed on there. 16 are learned from the trainer, 22 are bought via the Dalaran Cooking Awards, and 4 and random drops (the 4 emotion foods) for a total of 42 recipes.
The remaining four are Kungaloosh, Succulent Orca Stew, Fish Feast, and Shoveltusk Soup. There is currently no way to obtain those four recipes, though the end item for all but Fish Feast are obtainable as quest rewards.
There are currently 4 cooking recipes missing. They are unobtainable, yet they are required for the Northrend Gourment achievement in which you need to cook 45 of the 46 Northrend recipes. Additionally, you need at least 1 of those recipes to learn 160 recipes for an achievement.
Those are some pretty glaring holes right there, considering they're prerequisites for other things.
I'll give you guerrilla warfare, but it is not a war.
We won the Iraq war, and relatively quickly at that, but we're struggling with guerrilla warfare in the aftermath of the war, same thing with Afghanistan.
We were also winning the Vietnam War. The North Vietnamese army couldn't withstand the American military machine. The problem was that we weren't allowed to cross over for an invasion into North Vietnam and were stuck fighting guerrilla warfare against the Vietcong.
All three of those that you listed are not wars specifically because you don't know who is the enemy. The enemy could be that person you're giving a handout to from the back of your Humvee. While some people grant insurgents POW status, I do not necessarily believe they qualify for it. Iraq insurgents specifically aren't members of the Iraqi National Guard, if they were, they would qualify for POW status. Just as the Vietcong in Vietnam weren't members of the North Vietnamese Army.
