Duncan Hunter for President?
In one of the strangest political decisions in recent memory, California Rep. Duncan Hunter (R) said Monday that he is putting together the pieces to run for president in 2008.
"This is going to be a long road, it's a challenging road, there's going to be some rough and tumble but I think it's the right thing to do for our country," said Hunter at his official kickoff in San Diego. Hunter is forming an exploratory committee, which will allow him to raise money for a potential presidential bid as well as travel the country and build a staff.
Hunter is currently the chairman of the powerful Armed Services Committee, a post he may well lose on Nov. 7 if Democrats are able to take control of Congress. Regardless, he will be term-limited out of the chairmanship in two years time. Hunter has held a San Diego area seat since 1980 and has never faced a serious re-election race
But, a run for president? If the idea seems far-fetched to you that's because it is.
On one level Hunter's interest is understandable. Faced with the prospect of going from a committee chairman to a rank and file member of Congress, Hunter could well be feathering his nest for a private sector gig following a failed presidential bid. Having "former presidential candidate" on a resume could well boost earning power. (Does the name John Kasich ring any bells?)
From an ideological perspective, Hunter sees a opening in the field for a candidate espousing the politics of former President Ronald Reagan -- fiscal conservatism with a belief in the need for a muscular military. (Hunter is also one of the leading voices in Congress against illegal immigration.) The fiscally conservative Club For Growth was less sanguine about Hunter's prospects.
Any number of Republican candidates eyeing the 2008 presidential race have cast themselves as the logical heir to Reagan -- an iconic figure in the conservative movement. The most obvious inheritor of that legacy is Virginia Sen. George Allen (R) who made no secret earlier this year that he would model any presidential campaign in 2008 on Reagan's governing philosophy. Allen's presidential ambitions have been sidetracked (some would say derailed) by the stronger-than-expected challenge from former Navy Secretary Jim Webb and Allen's own miscues on the campaign trail.
With Allen damaged for the presidential sweepstakes, expect people like Hunter, former Rep. Dick Armey (R-Tex.) and a few other lesser known national figures to weigh a potential bid in hopes of picking up the Reagan mantle. Hunter has already benefited from tying himself to Regan. In 1980. Reagan's strong national victory helped Hunter upset Rep. Lionel Van Deerlin (D) and the newly minted Republican member went on to become a major advocate for the new president in Congress -- particularly on defense issues.
Remember that no sitting House member has won the White House since James Garfield in 1880. For the non-math majors out there that's 126 years. Neither Hunter nor Armey seem likely to break that streak.

We need more Republicans like Hunter and a California Republican running for President might just win California and it's large number of electoral votes. If he were to pair up with Sam Brownback, that would be one terrific ticket!

I'm just writing to say that one of the posters in this thread is nothing more than an anti-Catholic bigot. His post reveals a shameful ignorance of Church positions and a willingness to spread slanderous untruths as fact.
Let me just take one example of this poster's obvious disdain for the truth: Calling Pope Benedict XVI "the Chief Pimp of the Vatican" is vile and offensive. It is NOT TRUE that he "continues to protect his subordinate pimps, Catholic priests, as they continue to sexually exploit children."
The current pope was only a cardinal when he first heard about the abuse scandal in the U.S. But his immediate response was to take a hands-on role. His Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith assumed responsibility for examining the various allegations and determining what should be done to protect children from that small percentage of guilty priests. He denounced in the harshest possible terms those guilty priests, remarking on the presence of "filth ... in the Church, even among those who, in the priesthood, should belong entirely" to God.
Sadly, many of this poster's other comments are similarly dishonest. Unfortunately, however, I do not have the time to respond fully to them all. But needless to say, I am deeply offended by his/her remarks.
I'm not sure whether this poster hails from the Judeo-Christian tradition, but I would remind him/her that bearing false witness IS wrong. That's something he/she should think about in the future.

Some possible slogan's for Duncan Hunter's campaign ;-)
First a campaign theme song (to the melody of "Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets"):
"Whatever the Pentagon wants, the Pentagon gets--and whatever the Pentagon doesn't want, it gets too!"
Yes, in terms of government corruption we CAN do WORSE than this President and I will be a leader in that effort!
When I become President, Halliburton will have to stand in line behind other corrupt defense contractors. However, there's plenty of taxpayer money to go around for all of you!
What Halliburton did for Iraq, it can do for our border with Mexico!
Regarding issues that are non defense-related--I didn't know there were any so I can't speak to them!

IF the national polling companies are really listening to the people, they will include Tom Tancredo along with Duncan Hunter to check the waters. So far this year, Condi has tied or exceeded McCain in national polls. And Rudy is staying in the lead, at least according to the polls. Condi has the foreign policy experience the next president will need, so that puts her at the top for VP, not Hunter. As the people start to gather in 2007 to discuss the changes of strong candidates, their support will chance the FACE of 2008. The buzz for Condi as president has now been almost 2 years, and the nationwide support for her has also grown to a FEVERISH pitch. Lynn Cheney and Laura Bush each speak highly of her getting into the 2008 race. That is a fact which many within the GOP was to ignore because they favor their own guy, like McCain or Brownback or Frist. But the political leaders have already been witnessing the BUZZ for Condi, and the message has been reported worldwide.
There is one more year of volunteers standing up for Condi, and I also heard a fundraising letter is going out this month.}That will be interesting, and if the Washington Post has their ear to the ground, they will hear the march for Condi.
She is worth $10 million in name recogniton and another $10 million in high favorable´-with 60% job approval.}
If President Bush decides that she is his legacy, then you can bet Karl Rove will be putting out some buzz favorable to Condi for president as well.

Duncan Hunter can't be any worse than Richard Head Armey. I'm not too worried about either of them, though.
And if we're talking about wish lists for President, I'd take Kathleen Sebelius. She's not only a sterling governor, she's building the party by turning moderates tired of the KS GOP being run by wingnuts.

Steve - Enlighten us about Duncan Hunter. Seriously. It's impossible to know about 535 members of Congress in depth.
The only thing I know about Hunter is that he is Chairman of a very very powerful House Committee (Armed Services), which probably allows him to deliver a lot of goodies to San Diego.
Other than that, I don't see him doing much which would say, "Duncan, you're qualified to run for President !"
Be an advocate for him. Tell us. Don't just insult, use this blog for positive purposes.

You "experts" know absolutely nothing about Duncan Hunter. For 12 years he consistently got over 60% of the vote in a county that was perdominantly hispanic and nearly 70% Democrat. "Inside the Beltway" self-appointed pundits never know what is going on in the rest of the country. You are in for a big surprise! BlueDog, you are the idiot and the village is D.C.

Duncan Hunter? A known Capitol Hill "village idiot"? First, he won't get official GOP support. Second, he won't get MSM support. Third, he won't get middle of the road voter support. Last, he won't get donor support. He's not smart enough to run for the sake of enhancing his status outside of the Congress. He's egotistical enough to believe righteous indignation has any kind of significan following. His record is full of ammo for any opponent, and he comes across as a bully. This is a non-story about a non-event.
I hope he does run, him and Armey. Let the bloodletting begin.

I'm seeing enough dissatisfaction with the GOP '08 field thus far among the grassroots that there really is room for a guy like Duncan. The Republican party has been rocked by scandal after scandal and their best bet in 2008 would probably be an entirely fresh face. A little-known governor would probably be their best bet, but Duncan is not as crazy to be doing this as he would be in most Presidential elections.

Hunter, one of the biggest perpetrators of wack legislation in the Congress:
'On April 28, 2004, Hunter introduced legislation that he said could "turn parents into prosecuting attorneys fighting a wave of obscenity." [3] House Bill 4239, also called the "Parents Empowerment Act,"[4], would allow the parent or guardian of a minor to sue in federal court anyone who knowingly disseminates any media (such as a comic book) containing "material that is harmful to minors" if the material is distributed in a way that "a reasonable person can expect a substantial number of minors to be exposed to the material and the minor, as a result to exposure to the material, is likely to suffer personal or emotional injury or injury to mental or moral welfare."
I guess he's trying to drum up business for Evil Trial Lawyers... imagine how packed the federal courts could get with hordes of parents trying to sue publishers for comic books that damage their children's 'moral welfare' ...
Is the GOP in a contest to find the stupidest, most backward man on the planet to run for president?

These characters like Hunter and the rest of the beltway sparks start to believe that they actually have a "shot" at, not the presidency, but "National Exposure" for whatever career enhancement they can contrive. They couldn't make "president" in a one man (woman) election. As far as the Catholic Church posting, it fits well (unintentionally) with the postings about the coming "hispanic" voting power. The only revival of the Catholic Church will come about through the hispanic majority in the USA which should be occurring around 2036. At that time the Church will be "Americanized" and resemble a loose con-federation of churches much like the present Anglican Communion of churches throughout the world. The pope will be a traffic cop, as the churches increasingly go their own way. Viva la puebla!!!!!!!!!

And I agree completely with the journalistic integrity challenge, why is Allen suddenly immune to the standard poitical-season tabloid attacks averyone else seems to have to face?
One would think his arrest record and bar exam deceptions would have been exposed long ago, but obviously, a "macaca moment" can change everything, in this age of politics by blog.

Inside the headphones was another world. Everyone in this world thought the same way, except for liberals, and they were only cartoon characters, to be defeated as though in a video game.

New polls on 60 House races show the Democrats picking up 38-40 seats, including a 26-3 edge in the NY delegation. Try 243 Democrats to 192 Republicans on for size.
I'll go for a 6-8 seat gain in the Senate. Kyl is only ahead 47-41, and Ensign only has one more point over Jack Carter. In a major wave, Kyl loses. In an extreme wave, Ensign also loses. I can't rule that out at this point.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH is deepening its spiritual irrelevance. Its fake machismo and pea-cockish hypocrisy and political-meddling drove Latin Americans into other demonications. IN AFRICA THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS PERCEIVED AS WICKED AND INSENSITIVE [The Catholic church opposes the use of condoms even for married couples in which one of them has HIV/AIDS]. IN EUROPE, THE CHURCH IS HELD IN BENEVOLENT CONTEMPT by Europeans who understood only too well the violence the Church visited on their continent and how much it discouraged the advance of science. Here in the United States, THE LEGACY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS ONE OF COVERING-UP THE CRIMES OF ITS PRIESTS WHO SEXUALLY ABUSED CHILDREN AND OF THREATENING TO EXCOMMUNICATE THE PARENTS OF THOSE ABUSED KIDS who dared to speak out. As the Chief Pimp of the Vatican, Pope BENEDICT XVI continues to protect his subordinate pimps, Catholic priests, as they continue to sexually exploit children. Just a shame that official Catholic Church continues undermine the effort of lay catholics and thus continues to be on the wrong side of history even in this modern age.

Star11: yep, I'm imagining an ad that places Allen behind bars wearing horizontal black and white stripes (perhaps with a noose in the background although perhaps that's too macabre). "Is George Allen a convicted felon? Can Virginians afford to elect a criminal to Congress? Haven't we had enough of Republican corruption? Vote for Jim Webb - all his crimes are imaginary." Oops, forget that last bit.
Still hoping that Allen lied on his bar app. Seeing a GOP Senatorial candidate carted off to jail in handcuffs would have a national impact similar to the Foley fiasco.

I don't see what good John Kasich's abortive presidential run did for him. He's missed numerous chances to run for higher office since retiring from the House (e.g. Governor this year, mayor of Columbus in 2003). And he's becoming a forgotten commodity. But I rather enjoy having caught him unable to explain his support for DOMA when he spoke on my college campus in 1997.

Allen has very little incentive to make whatever these charges are public on his own - look at what happened to McGavick in Wash. state when he made public his drunken driving incident - his % went down and although it has come back up, he is far behind Cantwell. Personally, I gave McGavick a lot of credit for being forthright about it - I thought it would help him and it definitely took it away as ammunition for Cantwell. I guess Bush chose the right tactic when we weren't ever allowed to find out about his drug and alcohol problems.
So unless the Bar Association or I don't even know who makes Allen's record public, we aren't going to find out what it is all about. That doesn't mean that the Dems couldn't come out with an ad letting people know that Allen in hiding something. . .

Hunter might really be running for vice-president, thinking his knowledge of foreign affairs and defense policy might make him attractive to the nominee if that nominee is a governor.

I am not a math major, and I appreciate the 126 year count down. And, even though I am not a math major, I would have to say your insightful observation on Dick Armey not breaking the sitting house member to President streak has ZERO chance of being wrong...since he is not a sitting house member! It seems so unlike you to play it safe, but on the other hand, no one can accuse you of being wrong on that one, eh? Having said that, I would also bet lunch you are right on Hunter not breaking it either though, technically, it is a MUCH closer call since he is actually in the house.

Recipe by Thomas Keller
Yields 1 sandwich
3 slices of bacon
2 slices of country white bread (or of your choice)
2 slices of monterey jack cheese
1/2 tsp of mayonnaise
2 pieces of butter lettuce
2 slices of tomato
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, fry up your bacon. When it's done, remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Place your monterey jack cheese on one slice of bread and place it under the broiler until melted (I did it in a conventional oven). Take the other slice of bread and spread the 1/2 tsp of mayonnaise (you can obviously add more if you like).
If you have a non-stick pan, melt butter over medium heat and fry your egg.
If you're using a skillet like I have pictured above, drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil in the pan. When it's hot, crack your egg and fry until done.
Assemble the sandwich, placing the bacon on the slice with the cheese and the lettuce, tomato and fried egg on the other. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper and bring the two slices together. Cut in half and enjoy.

Professor Erin Murphy and a team of scientists have co-authored a report in the journal PLOS ONE on California's method of searching existing DNA databases for potential family members of an unknown suspect who left DNA at a crime scene. California is the only state that has published their statistical methods for such familial DNA searches. The report, titled "The Influence of Relatives on the Efficiency and Error Rate of Familial Searching," investigated the rate of false positives, as well as the rates of misidentification of distant relatives as first-degree relatives.
The study found that familial DNA searches do a good job of locating a relative if one is in the database, and conversely that a search is also unlikely to return a match that appeared to be related to the crime scene source, but in fact was not. However, the results also showed that a more distant relative in the existing DNA database could have up to a 42% chance of being incorrectly labeled as a first-degree relative of the person who left the crime scene DNA.
Murphy and co-authors Rori Rohlfs, Yun Song, and Montgomery Slatkin expressed concern in the report about the unintended consequences of these kinds of misleading results. "It has been well documented that familial searching is apt to disproportionately affect African American families, due to the greater representation of those groups in DNA databases and the high rate of intra-racial procreation," they wrote. "It takes only one member of a large and varied family tree to render every father, brother, half-brother, cousin, half-cousin, uncle, nephew and so on vulnerable to scrutiny and surreptitious sampling by law enforcement officers."
The report has garnered attention from the Los Angeles Times and on LiveScience.com. "We as a society have said that certain people, because of their behavior, have forfeited their genetic privacy," Murphy told the Los Angeles Times. "The thing that I find troubling is that we're saying that certain people who haven't done anything but are related to people who have also forfeit their genetic privacy."

Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. - 1 Corinthians 9:25
With the missions conference behind us, the training has begun. It was humbling and still encouraging being surrounded by veteran missionaries during the conference. It is amazing what God has been able to accomplish through these warriors of Christ. Amy and I pray that God can use us in a similar way when we reach Burkina Faso.
I spent the evening reading through the Sheltering Wings handbook tonight. Great insight, and a firm foundation. It makes things so much easier when you have those who have gone ahead of you that you can learn from. We have a lot to learn. The most challenging for me is the french language. Amy and Delaney seem to be picking it up a bit faster than me, but I am the little train that could........
We just finished reading the first book of many in the training process. One thing we have learned from reading and from the wisdom of the veteran missionaries is that the training never ends. We are empty vessels just taking in all that God is giving us at the moment. Feeling almost naive in all that we don't know right now. I pray that God keeps us with this mindset for the rest of our lives.
Amy and I are very excited that so many are sharing this journey with us. Your prayers are not only appreciated, but felt. I look forward to sharing with you each step of the process. God is so good. His amazing grace is the only explanation for this entire opportunity.
God Bless!!!!!

Empty cardboard boxes stored too close to a wood stove started the deadly fire in Orrington early Saturday that killed a father and his three young children, investigators at the state Fire Marshal's Office said Monday.
All four victims died of smoke inhalation, said the state Medical Examiner's Office. The bodies of the three children were found on the floor of a second-story bedroom, and the father's body was found at the head of the stairs, also on the second floor.
Investigators met Monday morning with the only survivor, Christine Johnson, in her hospital room and told her about their findings. The 31-year-old woman was rescued from the roof of her burning home early Saturday and taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, where she was treated for smoke inhalation.
The blaze at the single-family home on Dow Road was Maine's deadliest fire in 20 years.
Johnson's husband, Benjamin Johnson III, 30, and the couple's three children — 9-year-old Ben, 8-year-old Leslie and 4-year-old Ryan — perished in the fire. The blaze was reported shortly after 2:30 a.m. by neighbors who heard a woman screaming. She turned out to be Christine Johnson. When firefighters arrived at the home, she was on the roof of the home, which was engulfed in flames.
The house's furnace was not working. Fire investigators said the home was heated with the wood stove and a propane heater insert in the fireplace.
The family had returned from a night of bowling late Friday and then started the stove, located in a first-floor living room. The boxes were within inches of the stove and were likely used to help ignite
kindling. Also found near the wood stove was a container of lighter fluid, which likely helped spread the fire once the cardboard boxes ignited.
Neighbors and firefighters reported not hearing any working smoke detectors in the house.
State Fire Marshal Joe Thomas said combustible items should be kept three feet away from any wood stove and flammable liquid should never be used to start a wood stove fire. Thomas also said families should practice escape plans from a house and have a central meeting spot outside.

Everything that the Trump family does is scrutinized by our callous media. As always, the loyal Democrats writing the stories or talking on TV always go for the negative.
However, a bit of good news was spread on Friday. In order to show their appreciation for the Secret Service men and women who provide them protection, Ivanka, her husband Jared Kushner, and their two children, Arabella and Joseph, hand delivered sweets to their protectors, via IJR.
Photo via Daily Mail US
Such shows of gratitude are surprisingly uncommon in the White House.
Of course, not all families who have resided in the White House have been as gracious and classy as President Trump's extended family.
Last year, a former Secret Service agent named Gary J. Byrne penned Crisis of Character, a tell-all memoir that exposed just how unsavory the Clinton family really is.
In Mr. Byrne's book, he recounts how Bill and Hillary constantly fought one another. These back-and-forth battles often inspired heated orders or outright criticisms of their Secret Service details. Byrne claims that Hillary would frequently shout obscenities her bodyguards for even the smallest mistakes.
Tellingly, Byrne's book not only provides evidence that the Clintons physically abused one another, but that Hillary Clinton was a "volcanic" presence in the White House, via FOX News.
That's not all, either. Byrne also highlighted the fact that Bill, Hillary, and young Chelsea all referred to the Secret Service agents as "pigs," via Breitbart.
After the relatively tame years of George W. Bush, the arrival of the Obama family got the bad old days going all over again. From constantly skipping national security briefings to pep rallies wherein Michelle tried to convince her husband to run for president again, all reports seem to indicate that the Obama White House was anything but peaceful.
The fact that Malia Obama was caught on camera smoking weed at Lollapalooza tells you all you need to know about the Obamas. Although Barack pretended to be "furious" with his daughter (via New York Post), that did not stop him from denying his daughter a cushy job as an intern for a major Hollywood studio, via Vanity Fair.
Talk about nepotism!
The more America sees from Ivanka and her family, the more they fall in love with her charm and grace. While conservatives are right to criticize the clout that both Ivanka and Jared have in the White House (both are steadfast liberals with connections to George Soros, Democrat fundraisers, and globalists), it cannot be argued that the Kushners are better behaved than either the Clintons or the Obamas.
What do you think of Ivanka, Jared, and their children? Please share the story on Facebook and tell us what you think because we want to hear YOUR voice!

I was ridiculed for wearing a bike helmet and safety glasses whilst swinging a tennis racquet around, but i don't care as i save many children he trauma that i just endured.

Undergraduate Student Research Opportunities
NH-INBRE's goal is to provide research opportunities that encourage students to pursue graduate studies and/or research careers. We offer Undergraduate Research at Partner Institutions during both the academic year and summer; we also offer Summer Research at Dartmouth via our ISURF program, which has programs in basic science research, bioinformatics, and Nursing Research.
All students participating in an NH-INBRE research position are required to complete a Registration Form (email from Evaluation Team) and appropriate online Lab Safety Training.
In an effort to track and monitor NH-INBRE students, every NH-INBRE student researcher* must complete a registration and survey form, which provides important baseline information about the students' opinions, expectations, and experiences in science. The Internal Evaluation team will email each NH-INBRE student a unique link and ensure that everyone completes the survey.
*A NH-INBRE student researcher is any student paid by NH-INBRE or working in a NH-INBRE supported lab (ie. the faculty member heading the lab has a INBRE research grant or is receiving NH-INBRE Research Support and Training Grant (RSTG) funds through their home institution).
Required Training
There are two questions in the student registration that ask about lab safety and research ethics training.
Lab Safety Training: Students who have not completed this training will be directed to the online course (http://www.labsafetyworkspace.org) when they complete the registration.
Research Ethics Training: Students who have not completed the research ethics training need to connect with their faculty mentor for further instruction.
Postdoctoral Teaching Opportunities
A substantial number of Postdoctoral Fellows at Dartmouth and UNH consider (and enter) careers at predominantly undergraduate institutions such as our NH-INBRE Partners. At every partner, some courses are taught by Adjunct Faculty, and this can include Dartmouth or UNH postdocs. Our program provides teaching experience for interested postdocs and fulfills needs at Partners. Participation in the program requires agreement of the Postdoc's mentor. Salary support for teaching is determined and provided by the Partner. Training and other support for postdoc teaching is offered through the Dartmouth Center for Advancement of Learning (DCAL), which offers workshops in a wide variety of areas including training postdocs for teaching.
For more information on these opportunities please contact the NH-INBRE office at firstname.lastname@example.com or 650-1132

Has it been a year already?
It seems like only yesterday I was rubbing oatmeal on my face for the first time.
I've learned so much this past year and I have so much more ideas.
It's been an awesome journey so far thanks to All Of You!
Here's a countdown of my most viewed DIYs in 2014:
5. DIY Hair Lightening Spray
This quick and easy DIY Hair Lightening spray brings out the best in your blonde locks. Yes even for pretend blondes, like me.
The magic ingredient is Camomile tea. A camomile tea rinse after you shower has been a popular trick of natural and not so natural blondes alike for years. But it's so much easier in a spraying bottle!
I've added some other magic Lightening Ingredients from my kitchen. Find out which here.
Another way to maintain my do is with my Blonde Shampoo collection. In my Ultimate guide I explain which blonde shampoo works for what blonde girl hair problem.
4. DIY Lush Ultrabland Inspired Face Cleanser
Ah, my first Lush-a-like.
As you all know I love Lush. With this DIY I wanted to show that making your own all natural skin care products is really not that hard. The most difficult part is usually finding the ingredients.
I'm glad to see that since then many of you have enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for supporting the DIY Beauty revolution!
3. DIY Lush Dream Cream Inspired Lotion
Another Lush-a-like.
With all the DIY lotion recipes out there, I really expected someone had tried this before. Since I posted this I've seen it pop up in different places though.
Of course the measurements aren't exactly the same as the one from Lush. But it has about the same ingredients and the same feel in my opinion.
In the near future I'm going to try to tweak this version to make the lotion preserve longer. More news on that soon!
2. Two ingredient Highlights at home
The success of this post was a bit of a surprise for me.
It's a trick that I've loved for a couple of years now and it was so obvious for me to share it with you. I never expected it to be in this top 5!
Another trick that I like a lot lot lot is the Highlights Hot Oil treatment for your hair.
1. DIY Lush BIG Inspired Volume Shampoo
And the winner is… salt mixed with shampoo!
This is such an easy DIY and that's the beauty of it. Anyone can make this, right now, and it gives you the most awesome hair do.
Thank you for taking this journey with me and giving a purpose to all of these DIYs I'm making.
If this is the first time you're visiting The Makeup Dummy, take a look around. There are plenty more!
Love as always,

Tropical Storm Sanba brought rain to the southern Philippines on Monday. At 10:00 p.m. EST on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Sanba located at latitude 9.9°N and longitude 125.1°E which put it about 100 miles (160 km) east of Cebu, Philippines. Sanba was moving toward the west-northwest at 19 m.p.h. (31 km/h). The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. (65 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. (80 km/h). The minimum surface pressure was 1000 mb.
Tropical Storm Sanba dropped locally heavy rain on parts of northern Mindanao, Siriagao Island, Dinegat Island, Leyte, southern Samar, Bohol and Cebu on Monday. The circulation of Tropical Storm Sanba was not well organized. Bands of showers and thunderstorms were occurring to the north and west of the center of circulation. There were thin bands of showers and low clouds to the south and east of the center. An upper level ridge to the north of Sanba was producing easterly winds which were blowing over the top of the circulation. Those winds were causing moderate vertical wind shear which was the primary reason for the asymmetrical distribution of thunderstorms.
Tropical Storm Sanba will move through an environment marginal for intensification. Sanba will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 28°C. The upper level ridge will continue to produce moderate vertical wind shear, which will inhibit intensification. In addition, the center of circulation will move across Cebu and Negros. Increased friction caused by the and could weaken Tropical Storm Sanba. Sanba could intensify a little when the center moves over the Sulu Sea.
A ridge north of Sanba is steering the tropical storm toward the west. A general motion toward the west is expected to continue for another 24 to 36 hours. After that time Sanba could move a little more toward the west-northwest. On its anticipated track Tropical Storm Sanba is forecast to move over Cebu and Negros during the next 12 to 18 hours. Sanba will move across the Sulu Sea toward Palawan and over the South China Sea. Tropical Storm Sanba could drop locally heavy rain over Cebu, Negros, Panay and Palawan. Prolonged heavy rain could cause flooding in some places.

India doing well but WEF overstates progress
Jumping 16 spots in the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Global Competitiveness Index, and for the second year in a row, highlights how India's standing has gone up in the global community since the Narendra Modi government assumed power. Two years ago, India was a celebrated member of the Fragile Five; today, with inflation under control, the current account deficit all but over and growth at over 7%, it looks like one of the best-performers across the world. And while it is true local investment levels remain stagnant and rating agencies like Moody's have said they are not going to upgrade India's ratings till they see action on the ground, foreign investors are putting in money like never before. On a standalone basis, FDI flows have almost doubled over the past five years, from $21.7 billion in FY11 to $40 billion in FY16—if you include reinvested earnings of these firms, which is the international definition of FDI, the rise is from $34.9 billion to $55.5 billion. Next year's ranking could increase even more since, as WEF points out, the introduction of the GST will improve India's ranking in the 'goods market efficiency' parameter. Similarly, with a firm control over inflation, India's rank cannot remain at a low 101 out of 138.
That said, it is important to put the dramatic jump in rankings in perspective. Certainly, the government has made important steps in reforms in many areas, but most of the change in rankings is not based on actual data, it is based on an opinion poll of executives in the country. To the extent the UPA years were marred by corruption charges—from 2G to CWG, Coalgate and more—and by evidence of policy paralysis, the Modi government lifted sentiment even before its actions were felt on the ground. This is evident from the way some of the rankings have changed. One of the biggest change areas is 'institutions' which includes 'trust in politicians'—rankings here rose from 115 in FY14 to 31 in FY16, from 110 to 49 in the case of 'irregular payments and bribes', from 94 to 29 in the case of 'favouritism by government' and from 104 to 23 in the case of 'burden of government regulation'. While the jump in rankings in the infrastructure sector seems reasonable given the massive roads/railway programme, surely the same cannot be said about labour market efficiency? In the case of 'hiring and firing practices', rankings have improved from 52 in FY14 to 15 in FY16 and from 58 to 33 in the case of 'pay and productivity'—since the government has made no meaningful changes in labour laws, what this means is that those surveyed were quite optimistic of changes based on what the government was planning.
What this means is that, if the government's intention is not translated into action by this time next year, the opinion survey could well go the other way. Equally worrying, despite the reforms being made by the government, most of those polled thought tax regulations continue to be a problem—think not just Vodafone and Cairn but, more recently, MakeMyTrip. In terms of the skills levels of the work force—so critical if the nation is to remain competitive—those polled ranked India 104th out of 138 countries. Actual data, as opposed to an opinion poll, on enrolment rates show India poorly—ranking in primary education enrolment has fallen from 80 to 92 and while it has improved for secondary/tertiary levels, the rank remains poor at 102/93. It is important to celebrate the movement in the WEF rankings, but as vital to recognise the work ahead.

This Cat Has A Crush On A Human And Isn't Afraid To Show It May 05 2014, 1 Comment
Get a room, guys!
Every day at midnight, Kalim makes coffee to study and stay awake, according to his YouTube video description. And every single night, his friend's cat seizes the opportunity to smother him with her affection.
Kalim writes, "I love her soo much and I think she loves me back ..."
We'd have to agree with that.
Watch the video above, it's affection overload -- and we can't get enough.

portrait - s/t 10" (sanguine records)
If you're not from Atlanta or have not seen this band on tour, you're totally missing out. You should run out somewhere and get this 10" or the CD (which includes 10", 7", and one other song)and read the review later. Portrait has perfected the formula for screamo with a metal twist. It has a Converge sound but they are much crazier staying away from a lot of chugga parts. They even have a viola which makes the softer parts that much more pretty. Every song has an array of sounds and parts. Quiet parts are always combatted by pure unadulterated craziness. The craziness can then be followed immediately by a more instrumental, beautiful part. The songs tend to be long because of these transitions but they never lose my interest. The live show is super intense. They only play 4 songs every show, I think it's because after four songs they've expended more energy than most bands do in on an entire tour. Good good stuff. Representin the ATL! Hotlanta style.

Good evening LCMS families, this is Mr. Weidow, Principal.
On August 21, there will be a solar eclipse, the first in central Virginia since 1970. This is an amazing opportunity for our students to witness a unique astronomical event, but precautions must be taken to ensure eye safety.
From approximately 1 pm to 4 pm, the moon will move between the earth and the sun creating the eclipse. At approximately 2:45 pm, the moon will block 85% of the sun creating a corona effect as light projects around the moon. Because the sun will be blocked behind the moon, it will get fairly dark. This may lead people to believe looking directly at the sun is safe. However, due to the intense amount of light radiation coming from the sun, it is possible for a viewer's eyes to be damaged very quickly if not protected.
We want to make sure students are safe while viewing the event. For that reason, LCMS and TeamLCPS have worked together to provide a pair of ISO/CE certified solar eclipse glasses for every student. These glasses have both required safety certifications to ensure that our students' eyes will be well protected. Please note that regular sunglasses are not suitable for viewing the solar eclipse and will not protect your eyes from damage.
Teachers are working to develop lessons and activities that will coincide with the eclipse. Please talk with your student and remind them that it is never safe to look directly at the sun, even if some or all of it is blocked. They may only look at the sun through the certified solar eclipse glasses LCMS has provided them. If you have any questions or concerns about the event, please contact us at the school.
Thanks and have a great evening!

Lemon Poppy Seed Hummus
Today I have been running around trying to get things done today that were on my calendar for tomorrow since I know that I won't have time. Not to mention I will be too worried about Masi to remain focused. Good thing I held back on the second hummus recipe from Monday so I had something quick to blog about. :-)
For my morning snack today I had sliced peaches spread with lemon poppy seed hummus and loved it. I had never thought of sweet hummus until I saw so many varieties of it at the hummus stand at the farmers' market. However I must say hummus really is a blank canvas just waiting for any flavor combinations you can think of to add to it. One thing I have learned is that almost anything seems to work with hummus. Expect to see many more hummus variations now that my eyes have been opened.
Yesterday I took some freshly cooked and drained chickpeas and pureed them with a little of the cooking liquid. I have learned that hot or at least warm chickpeas get creamier when you process them. To the pureed chickpeas I added lemon zest, lemon juice and a small amount of stevia. I incorporated poppy seeds at the end of the processing. What I had at the end was a smooth lemony spread which is lightly sweet with poppy seeds. This works perfectly with fruit and reminds me of lemon poppy seed muffins which I used to love but wouldn't eat now.
Great Quote:
I read a phenomenal quote today that spoke to me so I wanted to share it with you.
"Only she who attempts the absurd can achieve the impossible." - Claire Goldberg Moses
The moment I read this I felt as though the writer could have been me. I have always been someone who didn't take no for an answer and thought anything was possible with enough hard work and practice and the writer certainly seems to agree. In fact I think that willingness to take on the impossible is what separates people. To be clear what I am speaking of is the unwillingness to give up.
Specifically when oncologists said there were no lifestyle changes that would impact health I refused to believe that and dove into research. Thankfully I was that type of person and decided that no change was too drastic if it had science behind it. However I know many cancer patients who listen to their doctors as though they are demi-gods. My heart goes out to these people since I have the feeling that by them continuing to do what they have always done they will continue to get what they always got, in other words more cancer is likely in their future. *sigh* Maybe one day lifestyle changes will be prescribed for disease before drugs and surgery.
What are some of your favorite quotes?
Happy Thoughts:
Today has been a rough day for me with Masi being sick. I am unnerved by the thought of Masi going under anesthesia tomorrow because he didn't handle it well when he got his teeth cleaned in the fall. However I am going to force myself to look on the bright side. Here goes:
• I am thankful that I have a caring veterinarian who I have known for almost 30 years. It is comforting knowing that Masi will be in the hands of someone who cares about his welfare as much as I do.
• I am also grateful that we have the financial ability to pay for whatever services Masi needs to recover. There really isn't anything I wouldn't do for my fur children but at least this I don't need to worry about how to pay for his care.
• I had to cancel cooking class this week to be home with Masi. However I fortunate that Donna (our cooking teacher) understood that my precious baby needed to come first. She even sent me an email saying "she would miss me and that I was a good mamma". Awww, wasn't that sweet?
• This week have tickets to a jazz concert with Peter White and Gerald Albright which I am really looking forward to attending. I love modern jazz and it is even better when it is live. With all the worry over Masi an evening to relax will be very welcome.
• Dan was in Richmond today but he will be home earlier than normal so that is also something that makes me very happy.
• At the moment I am grateful for Pandora and my husband who insisted that we needed a new TV last summer. The Sting channel is playing on the TV now and that always makes me want to move around which in turns makes me feel happy even when I am down before the music starts.
Signing Out:
It is time for me to get ready for Dan to get home. We are going downtown to listen to a little Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs. This is music that I grew up on, because yes I am that old. ;-)
Enjoy the rest of you evening. I should be back tomorrow with a Masi update and a Middle Eastern flavored eggplant soup with sumac, clove and cinnamon that I made on Sunday. Talk with you again soon.

Hi Alicia,ReplyDelete
That lemon poppy seed hummus looks amazing! I have also been playing around with sweet hummus lately; it started off by accident when I was making orange curry hummus and tasted it before adding the savory spices. My favourite kind so far is orange hummus with cloves and cinnamon, but I think I'll need to try lemon poppy seed next! Also, I like making hummus with navy beans, I find they get much more creamy than chickpeas (though this may be because I don't have a vitamix, so my food processor has to work pretty hard to blend them up)
I hope Masi's trip to the vet goes well tomorrow, and that he's all better soon!
Have a good evening!
Your recipes for new ways to make hummus are something I will try, especially the lemon poppyseed flavoured hummus.ReplyDelete
Have you made the sweet basil spread from Veganomicon yet? I think you would really like the flavor profile. I made the recipe "as written" last week for Ryan's office potluck. Apparently people were literally swiping their plate & then licking their fingers.ReplyDelete
Thanks, I hope you like the lemon poppy seed hummus as much as I do.
Orange curry sounds good, as does orange spice. Have you tried adding vanilla to it?
Great idea using navy beans. If you overcook the chickpeas in your pressure cooker that should work too.
Thanks for the well wishes for Masi. I will let you know how things go. I didn't get much sleep last night since Binky was trying to wake me up from 2am on to tell me he was starving (I had to take the food up because Masi is getting anesthesia today).
talk to you later,
Glad you like the hummus ideas. Expect to see a lot more of them in the coming weeks. I think I have a new hummus addiction at the moment. ;-)
I own Veganomicon but I haven't made anything from it, like most of my cookbooks. Now that you have mentioned a different hummus flavor I need to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have 2 quote for you:ReplyDelete
Muhammad Ali: "I hated every minute of the training. But I said to myself, bear the pain now and live the rest of your life as a champion."
And in the "it's funny cause it's true" department:
"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split" - Conan the Barbarian
- AnonymousJuly 20, 2011 at 8:57 AM
I missed why Masi is going undr anesthsia. I hope all goes well.
I'm craving the hummus.
Great quotes thanks for sharing them! :-)
Sorry about that, Masi has been throwing up which I apparently only had in the last post. ;-) Masi is not cooperative so to draw blood they need to put him under. They are also doing xrays while he is there. Hopefully we will know what is wrong soon. I should be picking up him this afternoon. The poor baby was so scared when I left him. I felt like the world's worst mother.
I love lemon poppyseed anything, so this hummus is very appealing to me.ReplyDelete
Thinking of you today as you are at the vet with Masi!
Thanks Sarah,ReplyDelete
I think you will like the hummus, I know I did.
Masi is there now. I should know something soon since he was first one in the OR. I am a basket case at the moment. I think I should make some chamomile tea to try to calm down. I will send you a message when I know something. *sigh*
Good to read one of your posts again...sending good wishes to Massi...I have a Korat gray cat and they do become part of the family:) Sending happy thoughts your way..CocoReplyDelete
Thanks we can use all the happy thoughts we can get. Preliminary news isn't the best. However we won't know for sure until the blood work comes in tomorrow morning. I am trying to stay positive but that isn't easy to do.
The new hummus flavors are PURE GENIUS. Today, I'm making the Wasabi/Ginger one. Tomorrow will be the lemon poppyseed. Thank you so much for these new ideas!!ReplyDelete
Thanks! I have an idea for another hummus recipe tomorrow based on a fruit and herb granita I used to make. I think it will be good. If I like it I will be sharing that soon too. Today's post includes hummus with truffle if you want to check that out.
A quick Massimo update.....ReplyDelete
I just talked to the vet and Masi's kidney function tests are completely normal!!!! Thank goodness. *woo hoo* I feel like we dodged a bullet with this one. Thank you all for your positive thoughts for my little precious. It was very sweet of you to worry about my fur baby and I appreciate it very much.
You may have convinced me to actually try sweet hummus, ha ha! But it really does look SO good!ReplyDelete
Dan was very skeptical about this one but he tried it this morning and now he is convinced. It really doesn't taste like hummus as odd as that sounds. If you try it please let me know what you think.

So here we are, the day of, and I have way too much information going round inside my head so I've clearly over prepared, I'm not really sure of anything anymore so I've decided to chuck everything from my mind and make ridiculously knee-jerk gut reactions (sounds painful I know and biologically suspect).
Now predictions wise, I said Italy in 2010 and France in 2012 so I'm going to calm myself down a bit and go for Brazil, Spain or Argentina or Germany. I honestly think Spain can do it again, they haven't got any worse to be honest. As regards Argentina, it all depends on how their defence shapes up this time, Brazil's second round opponents being either Spain, Chile or the Netherlands (or Australia!) will be interesting and go a long way to deciding their fate in the tournament and Germany I'm just not sure about.
I'd like to see Japan doing well, I've always enjoyed watching them play and the group draw is generous enough for them, I have Nigeria down as doing something but I'm usually very wrong about African teams. I'd also like to see Bosnia & Herzergovinia do something in their first World Cup but they have a really tough first game against Argentina, lose that, and I have them down to, suddenly pressure's on.
I've also perversely gone with England doing well in the group, I think if they go at Italy and really go at them they'll win but if they're cautious at all they're in trouble. Also think Uruguay will struggle, Suarez for fitness and also just because of Lugano.
I've cautiously backed Rooney each way for top scorer at 50/1, this not having scored in two World Cup finals thing is a bit overamped, between suspensions it's only what 5 or 6 games, plus with Welbeck injured and Sturridge nearly nailed on to get injured because he's genuinely a threat for them means he'll probably end up the main man. But after all that I've gone for Aguero as my main bet for top scorer, can get a few in the group stage to boost his chances. So if I was you, put your money on Higuain.
NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO: Constant injury updates, no Roy Keane, convincing myself not to order takeaway before the 23:00 games, deciding whether to play football in the evenings or just watch it, losing all my bets.
So I've predictions up as far as Monday below. I was thinking the Croats might shock Brazil in the first game with their attacking threat, but then realised Mandzukic is suspended so I've gone with a narrow win for the hosts. The England/Italy score will stand out, I'm also expecting lots of goals in this tournament, just presuming teams will be absolutely shattered with 20 mins to go in each game as my only premise.
Thursday 12th June
Brazil 2-1 Croatia
Fri 13th June
Mexico 1-1 Cameroon
Spain 0-0 Netherlands
Chile 2-0 Australia
Sat 14th June
Colombia 1-0 Greece
Uruguay 1-0 Costa Rica
England 3-1 Italy
Ivory Coast 2-2 Japan
Sunday 15th June
Switzerland 2-0 Ecuador
France 2-0 Honduras
Argentina 2-1 Bosnia & Herzegovinia

Fiduciary Liability
Protecting the fiduciaries of employee benefit plans can be complicated. If your company sponsors a retirement or health plan for employees and if you are involved with the management of that plan, you are likely considered a "Fiduciary" and can be held personally liable for what happens to the plan (under ERISA law).
Fiduciary Insurance policies protect the fiduciaries (people managing employee benefit plans) for money they are legally obligated to pay as a result of an actual or alleged "wrongful act" or breach of their fiduciary duty. The policy also provides coverage for defense costs associated with defending a claim made against the fiduciary for an actual or alleged wrongful act.
DELAYED BALANCE TRANSFER – A couple employees claimed that the newly selected 3rd party plan administrator improperly delayed transferring fund balances in the plan from one investment option to another, as directed by the participants. Subsequently, the employees sued the plan trustees for more than $50,000 in lost investment income. Defense expenses were $25,000.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION – An employee approaching retirement age discovered she had never enrolled in the company's 401(k) plan. The employee sued the company and plan trustees alleging the plan administrator failed to properly advise her on how to enroll and the enrollment was not automatic. She sued the company for $130,000.
FAILURE TO DIVEST AN UNDERPERFORMING INVESTMENT OPTION – Plan participants alleged that the fiduciaries of a 401k plan had failed to divest the plan of an investment option that was not keeping pace with the performance of a comparable index and resulted in poor returns. The participants sued the company for lost returns and legal costs.

Travelling the world is one of the best things a person can do in their lifetime; it entails a lot of work, but all of the new experiences and lessons that can be gained through it is priceless. But when people do get to travel, most of the time, they tend to overestimate the amount of places they can visit and the things they can do in a short amount of time that they forget to stop and absorb their new surroundings or even document it for posterity.
Merphi Panaguiton is a travel and lifestyle blogger from Manila, Philippines. This well-traveled 20 year old treats each and every journey as a new way to improve her spiritual growth and her outlook in life. She also meticulously documents all her travels with her trusted camera and iPhone. Her works have garnered quite a following since she relaunched her blog, The Kind Universe. Her stunning photographs and classy fashion sense are just definitely some of the reasons why she's our July Girl Of The Month.
Merphie: I only discovered my love for photography before entering college (about 4 years ago). I never dreamed of becoming a photographer when I was a child because I originally wanted to become a musician – to become a violinist to be exact.
Do you take a photo of a scene from where you're naturally standing or do you walk around to find the best angle?
M: Most of the time I take photos of a scene from where I'm naturally standing most especially when I am part of a tour wherein everything happens too fast – we cannot stay for a longer period of time on some places. However, when I'm given the opportunity to take my time while in a certain place, I make sure to invest my time to move around and look for the best angle.
Where would you say is the most picturesque place (local and foreign) you've been to?
M: Two of the most picturesque places I've been to are Paris (foreign) and Bohol (local). Every corner of Paris was just too beautiful! I'm probably saying this because I've always wanted to see Paris and I'm so grateful my dream came true 3 months ago. I have to be honest that I've only been to a few places here in the Philippines. I have been to Bohol 7 years ago and I think it is the most picturesque place I've been to so far in the Philippines. I am really hoping to be able to visit more local places soon!
If you could only use one camera for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
M: I would probably use the camera I own right now: my 4-year-old Canon 550D. It is because it already became a big part of who I am today. It has been to different places already (there even came a time when I brought it every single day despite its heavy weight) and I know I can always trust my camera. I am also very grateful for my 550D because it helped me meet a lot of amazing people and build new friendships.
M: I try to be mindful of everything – I remind myself from time to time that I'm in a new place which also means I'm completely out of my comfort zone. Basically, a favorite habit of mine when traveling is observing the whole new environment I'm currently in. This includes observing people just being themselves and realizing that I am so blessed to encounter those strangers. This is a favorite activity for me because I tend to relax and just live in the moment. As a result, I get to enjoy more of the places I go to and not just simply let time fly.
Are you a planned out traveler or do you like going to different places/doing things at your own pace?
M: I think I can say I'm a mixture of both since I travel most of the time with my parents and my sister -- meaning our trips are usually planned out but at the same time we try our best to do things at our own pace. An exception would be our recent trip to Europe because we were part of a tour so everything was well planned out.
Do you think traveling is a luxury or a necessity?
M: Traveling for me contributes to my spiritual growth. Having that said, I see it more as a necessity. I see traveling as a big part of my journey in this life and I consider it as one of the greatest forms of education.
What are some of the best things you've learned from your travels?
M: Possibly, I learn hundreds or even thousands of things every time I travel so I would just share the 3 best things I have learned:
1. Embracing uncertainty. This learning includes living in the present moment and just simply enjoying every single thing. Everything is new every time I travel so the challenge for me is to just focus on the things I see, hear, smell, taste and feel right at that moment.
2. Appreciating people. Every time I travel, it is inevitable to meet people who have different perceptions of life since every place has its own culture. With that, I have learned how to deal with different kinds of people from all over the world. I have also learned how to build long lasting relationships with some friends I have met from trips. It really feels good to make new friends because I realized that God brought them to my life for a reason.
3. Being grateful for everything I have. Traveling made me realize that I should stop taking things for granted. There are so many things to be grateful for and the quantity of those things doubles whenever I travel. God's creations are too beautiful and I think it is unfair if I would just take those things for granted.
