The Washington Wire reports that according to a guest list distributed earlier this week, contenders who are scheduled to speak include Senators Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham, Governors Chris Christie, John Kasich and Scott Walker, and former Hewlett Packard Company Chief Executive, Carly Fiorina. Also on the speaking agenda are Senator Kelly Ayotte, American Enterprise Institute President, Arthur Brooks, and former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers (Democrat), and ex-Obama adviser David Axelrod (also Democrat) are also scheduled to speak.
The Washington Wire also reports that according to an invitation, the event will feature speeches, less formal mixers and "outdoor enthusiast activities each morning."]]>
The event which may be considered the second fight of the century will take place at a black-tie charity event to be held in Salt Lake City. The proceeds from the match will go to help support a cause that Romney strongly believes in called Charity Vision. According to its official website, Charity Vision is a "nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with a focus on empowering local physicians in the developing world and creating sustainable solutions to the worldwide blindness epidemic."
In a video promoting the upcoming bout published by the Washington Post, Romney is at home reading his 2010 book, "No Apology: the Case for American Greatness," while Holyfield is performing a grueling workout and dripping in sweat at the gym. Holyfield quips, "Does he even work out? I'm too quick, too agile for him." He then added these words of warning for his opponent, "Mitt, you can't run. You can't hide. Come get your whooping." Romney was quick to respond by saying, "Well, it's true, I don't have much of a right hook. But when I get somebody's ear, I can be pretty formidable."
Holyfield is 52 years of age, stands at 6' 1", with a reach of 78 inches, and in 1996 in his first match with Mike Tyson he weighed in at 215 lbs. He announced his retirement from the boxing world in 2012.
Romney, a Harvard graduate, who introduced a Massachusetts healthcare reform law in 2006, is 68 years of age. He weighs approximately 185lbs and has a heart rate of about 40 beats per minute. He has a slight height advantage over Holyfield, standing at 6' 2" which could give him a longer reach.
Holyfield has several impressive credits to his name. In the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles he won a bronze medal. He is also, according to the Thursday, 14 May 2015 online edition of The Guardian, a former undisputed champion at both cruiserweight and heavyweight, with a record of 44 wins – 29 by knockout – 10 losses, two draws and one no contest. Romney, by comparison, has no track record as far as the boxing ring is concerned.
Holyfield is a born-again Christian. Romney is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he has served as Bishop of a local congregation.
Anyone who may have been hoping for another "fight of the century" would have been greatly disappointed as what took place in the ring between Holyfield and Romney was not quite what one would call a boxing match. According to Yahoo News on 16 May 2015, "The two barely threw any punches and largely just danced around, occasionally lightly jabbing each other in the midsection in what was much more of a comedic event than an actual bout." Romney reportedly lasted for two short rounds before he "threw in the towel, giving up a round early in the lighthearted fight that came amid several other fights by professional boxers and an auction."
The difference between this bout and any other bout is that in the end both contenders come out as winners. According to the Wednesday, 13 May 2015, online edition of the Deseret News, "The two [were] sparring to raise funds for Charity Vision, an organization that works to cure preventable blindness across the world." Romney's son, Josh, who resides in Utah, serves as a volunteer president for Charity Vision. Corporate sponsorships for this charity event ranged from $25,000 to $250,000, and organizers of the event say that at least $1 million was raised.]]>
Matthew Holland, President of Utah Valley University commented, "We are honored to welcome Mitt Romney to our campus as our commencement speaker. His achievements, both public and private, are inspiring and will underscore to our students the tremendous things that can be accomplished after graduation through hard work, continuous learning, and a sense of service… The valuable observations and suggestions he will share with our graduating students will undoubtedly be a highlight of our commencement celebration." Student body president, Tyler Brklacich, remarked, "He was at the top of our wish list coming into the school year, and we were elated when he accepted our invitation earlier last fall. We are thrilled our students will have the chance to hear from one of the nation's leading figures in industry and public service."
During the commencement exercises, Romney will also be awarded an honorary doctorate degree. He recently received the honorary degree of Doctorate in Service and Leadership Excellence from Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Florida where he had the honor of being the University's commencement speaker on Saturday, 25 April 2015. Coining the catch phrase "Get a life," Romney commented, "That phrase is actually pretty good advice for all of us. Get a life, have a life, live your life in full. Embrace every fruitful dimension of life that you possibly can."
As 5,341 Utah Valley University graduates gathered to celebrate the culmination of their college career, Romney reminded them that although there will be some uncertainties in their future, they should not look back to the past and try to find solace there, but rather they should continue to press forward and choose the road less traveled to see what the future might hold. He commented:
The cozy little world of your childhood is long gone. You may be tempted to try to create for yourself that same kind of small and safe circle," Romney said. "… Alternatively, you can live large by expanding your world and engaging in your world, constantly learning, nourishing friendships, overcoming reversals, and serving others. That is the road less traveled, and it will make all the difference.
He then shared with the graduates 6 dimensions to "live a large life" and avoid the pitfalls of wanting to escape to childhood comforts.
The first dimension is to maintain and nurture a close circle of friends – friends from home, friends met at college, and friends that will enter the circle of life as the years pass.
The second dimension is to get married and have kids. "I'm surely not going to tell you when to tie the knot. You've got parents who will do that," Romney joked. "But I will tell you that marriage has been the single most rewarding part of my life, by far. Marriage involves passion, conflict, emotion, fear, hope, compromise, understanding — in short, it is living to the max." He credits his five sons and family for filling his life with immense happiness.
The third dimension is to be a hard worker. He exhorted the students to not let the 9-to-5 workday routine become a drudgery, but rather think of it as part of the overall equation that makes a person happy. He said, "Don't waste time bemoaning your job. Don't skim by with the minimum of effort. Dive in. Get more from your job than the paycheck. Hard work is living large."
Fourth, he assured the graduates that bad things will happen in life, but he told them that they must learn to adapt, overcome, and rise above difficult challenges in order to pursue a life that is both rewarding and abundant.
Fifth, he wanted the students to understand that they would fail at times in life, but that is a normal part of the process. He wanted them to understand that life does not always go as planned. He said, "Failures aren't fun, but they are inevitable. More importantly, failures don't have to define who you are." He then continued to explain:
Life has way too much chance and luck and serendipity — good and bad — to be assured that kind of success. And if your life is lived for money and position, it will be a shallow and unfulfilled journey.
The real wealth in life is in your friendships, your marriage, your children, what you have learned in your work, what you have overcome, your relationship with God and in what you have contributed to others.
And the sixth dimension that he shared was that life is more satisfying when we learn to serve others. "Living life in fullness includes serving others, and doing so without pride or personal gain," Romney said. "It will fill your heart and expand your mind."
Romney has several ties to Utah, including a degree from Brigham Young University, his service as the CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics. He is also a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And, in 2012, Time Magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.]]>
On Wednesday night, 25 March 2015, Jimmy had a special guest join him on the show. That guest was former Governor of Massachusetts, and the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.
Now that Romney has officially announced that he is no longer a contender for the 2016 race for the White House, he has an opportunity to "let his hair down" a little and reflect upon some of his recent political ventures with great poise and candor. In the tradition of a Saturday Night Live comedy skit, Romney held an interview with himself while looking into a mirror, and Jimmy Fallon was his reflection. As he talked with the "image" in the mirror, Romney quipped about President Obama's golf game, emails from Hillary Clinton, his own boys' names (the "sweet 16"), and more.
It was all good, clean humor, and gave everyone a chance to see a lighter side of Romney that perhaps most people never get to see.]]>
A sixth grader from Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, who attends Lake Zurich Middle School North, Sam Holtz, completed a near-perfect bracket predicting the NCAA men's basketball tournament and tied for first in ESPN's annual contest. However, his sweet victory soon turned sour when he was informed that he was ineligible to claim the top prize because he is only 12-years-old and participants in the contest must be at least 18-years-old. Holtz told the Daily Herald newspaper, "I'm irritated. Yes, I'm still proud of my accomplishment, but I'm not happy with the decision."
Kevin Ota, a spokesman for ESPN Digital Media, said the network is putting together some kind of prize for Holtz. He further stated, "We plan to have fun with this. The great thing is that this kid beat all these experts out there." The tournament includes 67 games and Holtz missed only six. He entered a perfect bracket for the games played in the Sweet 16, Elite Eight and Final Four.
Former 2012 Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, experienced a victory of his own in the ESPN Tournament Challenge as he had a perfect final four, beating out President Barack Obama who had predicted that Kentucky would win the NCAA championship. Duke University's big win at the finals on 6 April 2015, ranked Romney 6,326th out of 11.5 million. After the big game, He tweeted, "Should have put $10,000 on my bracket. Congrats, Coach K and @DukeU."
Romney correctly picked six of the eight teams in the Elite Eight, all of the Final Four schools, and anticipated a Wisconsin-Duke championship match-up. Overall, he fared well in the tournament. Perhaps next year he can do even better by consulting with Sam Holtz on filling out his brackets.]]>
The Good News is that the grave could not hold Him. Three days later, the tomb in which He was laid to rest was found empty, for He was resurrected. And so, it is that glorious Resurrection that Christendom celebrates during the Easter season. Because He was resurrected, we have the blessed hope and assurance that we shall also one day be resurrected. And because of His vicarious Atonement, one day we shall see Him and know Him as He is – our Lord, Our Savior, Our Master, and our King.
Mitt Romney shared his thoughts about the Savior and all that He has done for us in a brief treatise titled "Three Streams of Gratitude for Jesus."
Romney recounts that the first stream of gratitude in his life was created during his childhood days. During those times he learned the valuable life lesson from the Bible, his mother, and his Bishop, that even in the midst of his fears, Jesus loved him. He states that he felt the love and protection that the Savior offers, and that he also knew that his prayers were being answered. He stated, "As life progressed, I came to learn that Jesus would not always intervene to shield me from the trials and travails of life, but I knew that He loved me and cared."
During his young adult years, he recalls that it was the joy of the gospel that grew in his heart. It was during that time that he found himself faced with having to make choices that would ultimately affect his mortal happiness. He learned that the real meaning of joy was not found in material wealth, but rather through love, family, friends, and service. He commented, "With faith in that gospel, I married, raised children, nourished friendships, and endeavored to serve." As a result, the joy in his heart grew beyond measure.
Romney concludes his treatise by reflecting on the now autumn years of his life, and shares that it is Christ's victory over death that means more to him. He remarked that for many years he has sung "He is Risen" on Easter Sunday, but it did not have the same meaning and impact as it now has on his life. He said,
Now, however, His condescension to live in mortality, to carry my sins, and then to rise to immortality is no longer just a chapter of doctrine, it is a gift of such magnitude that I cannot find sufficient words to express my gratitude.
The scriptures teach us:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16, 17).
With His life, he paid a debt that He did not owe, and one that we could not pay on our own. "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Romney concludes by stating, "That He rose from the dead is His greatest gift of all." "Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift" (2 Corinthians 9:15).]]>
Bringing Vision to the Country of India
Since July 2014, Romney's son, Josh, has been serving as the part-time and volunteer president of Charity Vision International which is the global leader in sustainable, philanthropic eye care programs. It was Josh who got his family interested in the project.
Romney recently returned from a nine day trip to the country of India where he helped his son's charity bring vision to several vision impaired people. He remarked that the trip helped to open his own eyes concerning the country and its people. On his blog he wrote about the blessings that he and his family were able to give to people in need, and the blessings that they received in return.
I, my sons Matt and Josh and grandkids Nick, Chloe, Grace and Wyatt have all just returned from nine days in India with Charity Vision. Together, we hosted 14 people who had generously donated to the charity. We saw the sights in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi. We also performed vision screenings for school children and for the elderly; we lifted spirits at an orphanage; and we witnessed the miracle of restored vision for individuals who had long suffered from cataract blindness.
Charity Vision provides humanitarian service to the very poor in twenty-five of the poorest countries in the world by providing the needed surgery to restore sight to those who cannot otherwise afford it. India is among those countries which the charity helps. Last year, approximately 40,000 surgeries were performed. The work is done on an operating budget of just $1 million which equates to about $25 per surgery. The charity is able to sustain its operations through reliance on local doctors operating in local health facilities, and the necessary surgical equipment and supplies are received from U.S. military surplus and U.S. corporations which generously help.
Romney also commented on his blog:
What a blessing for me, my sons, and for my grandchildren to witness another great and free people building a better future for themselves, drawing on the strength of the human spirit. We return home with greater appreciation, both for India and for America.
Mitt Romney was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, by two goodly parents, George W. Romney and Lenore (LaFount) Romney. He is a fifth-generation member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His great-great-grandfather, Miles Romney, converted to the Mormon faith during the first decade of the Church, and Parley P. Pratt, another great-great-grandfather, was a prominent leader in the early Church.
From July 1966 until January 1969, he served a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ in France. While in France he was able to hone his leadership skills as he was promoted to zone leader in Bordeaux in early 1968, and soon thereafter became an assistant to the mission president in Paris.
Following his days as a missionary, Romney served in several leadership positions in the Church. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, while building his career at Bain Capital, he served as a Bishop (equivalent to a pastor of a local congregation) and later as a Stake President (presiding over several area congregations) in suburban Belmont, Massachusetts. According to a March 2012 Huffington Post.com report:
As a religious leader, Romney met weekly with students, teachers, immigrant converts and Utah transplants. He had to learn how to give sermons, advise squabbling couples, organize worship services, manage budgets and address the diverse spiritual needs of more than 1,000 Mormons in the region. By most accounts, Romney was a good listener, a measured thinker and an innovative manager who considered various positions before making decisions.
Through his political campaigns, Romney helped to increase the visibility of The Church of Jesus Christ. Even so, a Gallup poll conducted in 2012 indicated that 18% of the voting populace stated that they would not vote for a Mormon as President of the United States. According to a 6 February 2015 article by Richard Ostling on Patheos.com:
The former governor's prominence should have burnished the faith's P.R. image. He personifies attractive virtues Mormons most like to display: clean living, hard work, probity, public spirit (e.g. taking charge to save the 2002 Winter Olympics), generosity in donations and private help, patriotism, and faithful commitment to church and family. Add to that striking success in business, which was central to Democrats' attacks against Romney but probably didn't hurt public perceptions of Mormonism.
Therefore, the question that begs an answer is, "Why are so many voters against having a Mormon as President?" Ostling suggests in his article that, "Perhaps with these voters the problem with a Mormon isn't that he's Mormon but that he's too religious." That is an interesting point of view considering a Pew Research Center survey in 2012 showed only 60% of adults were even aware Romney is Mormon and half admitted they were uninformed about the Mormon faith (28% knew "not very much" and 21% knew "nothing at all").
Another reason that voters may be against having a Mormon President is because of their perception of Mormonism. A Pew Survey indicated that of those who were familiar with Romney's religion, 19% were "uncomfortable" with it. There were 61% who stated that Mormonism is "very different" than their own religion. And, in regards to the question of whether or not Mormons are Christians, 50% said yes, 31% said no, and 19% were uncertain.
Ostling further notes in his article:
During Romney's two campaigns, few evangelical Protestant leaders of national stature argued against voting for a Mormon on religious grounds, even though the two faiths are major rivals in convert-seeking and doctrine. The one exception who comes to mind, Dallas Baptist Robert Jeffress, calls LDS religion a "theological cult" but ended up favoring Romney over Obama. Of course the evangelical grass roots may have been more hostile. Meanwhile, secular and liberal voices expressed blatant scorn toward Mormon candidates. When Romney spoke about his faith in late 2007 at the George H.W. Bush presidential library, the late atheist Christopher Hitchens trashed the talk as "worthless," applied the "cult" label, branded LDS founder Joseph Smith Jr. a "fraud" and worse, and maligned "official Mormon racism" (referring to priesthood policy the church abolished 37 years ago).
To more temperate observers, Romney's speech was one of the most significant treatments of church and state by a major politician since candidate Kennedy's celebrated speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association. Much like Kennedy, Romney pledged that no church authorities would "ever exert influence on presidential decisions," that no doctrine would trump the "sovereign authority" of the U.S. Constitution and secular law, and that "no religion should dictate to the state." However, he also opposed those who want religion to be "merely a private affair with no place in public life," saying that would establish a "new religion" of secularism.
In a recent conference call from New York City, Romney officially announced that he was out of the 2016 race for the U.S. presidency. However, that does not signify that he is about to disappear from the political scene. He will continue to be the loyal patriot that he has always been and continues to be, doing whatever he can for the best of the country that he loves. As far as his faith, it remains unshaken, and he remains steadfast and unmovable in his beliefs, living his life as a living testimony of those beliefs. He may not be the next President of the United States, but perhaps the Lord has other plans for his life in which he will continue to help increase the visibility of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a positive light to the world.]]>
According to a Washington Post.com article dated 30 January 2015, Romney made the following statement to supporters on a conference call from New York on that Friday morning. His wife, Ann Romney, was at his side.
After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I've decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee.
I am convinced that we could win the nomination, but fully realize it would have been a difficult test and a hard fight.
You can't imagine how hard it is for Ann and me to step aside, especially knowing of your support and the support of so many people across the country. But we believe it is for the best of the party and the nation.
Before signing off, Romney encouraged his allies to remain actively engaged in the 2016 campaign and to "feel free" to choose from any of the other candidates as presidential hopefuls.
According to the Washington Post.com article, Romney's advisers affirm that his decision not to run for President in 2016 was by no means a rash decision. They commented, "Romney was spending his time as he always had under such circumstances: gathering data, speaking to as many people as possible and then weighing the evidence before making any final decision." A senior adviser who asked to remain anonymous stated, "All the political metrics were positive. Ultimately, running for president, you just have to feel right about it in your heart. They just didn't feel it was right. He's a happy person. He's not a needy, desperate guy."
In his article titled "Why Romney Didn't Run" for the 31 January 2015 edition of The Daily Beast, Stuart Stevens made the insightful observation:
Mitt Romney has run for president twice and accomplished what few politicians ever achieve. Probably 90 percent of the politicians in America would like to be the nominee of their Party but are unable to muster what it takes to get it done. Some say that Romney isn't a very good politician; well, of all the governors and senators, Congressman and assorted politicians who dream of being president, Romney stepped forward, took the risk and secured the nomination. He did it without a traditional geographic or ideological base. In a party that is increasingly southern, evangelical and populist, he falls into none of those niches and yet still won the nomination. He lost to an incumbent president without a primary and outside the federal financing system. Only one other president in similar circumstances has lost in the last 100-plus years: Herbert Hoover, who had a bad year.
There is no clear way to know if Romney would have won the election in 2016. The chances are that he may have, but the fact still remains that politics is a very unpredictable business, thus there are no guarantees of such a victory. Even so, no one can dismiss the fact Romney is not an average political party nominee. In his article, Stevens makes the point that three years after the election, Romney still remains the most popular figure in the Republican Party. No other nominee in modern history of either political Party has ever been able to make such a claim. He also points out that Romney stands out among all of the other potential candidates, "including candidates with near saturation name ID." And when facing off with Hillary Clinton, he surpasses any Republican in being able to hold his ground as indicated in the latest poll when he tied her at 46 percent.
Taking all things under consideration, the million dollar question is, "Why did Romney make the decision not to run for President in 2016?" Perhaps the answer is found in Romney's own words in his statement during the conference call on 30 January 2015:
I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well-known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country, one who is just getting started, may well emerge as being better able to defeat the Democrat nominee.
It is clear that Romney is not seeking any personal glorification, but is willing to step aside to give someone else an opportunity to prove themselves as leaders. Some may consider his decision to be atypical, but it falls directly in line with his true character. He is not a man who is desperate to prove himself, nor is he on a personal vendetta to win the presidency after two failed attempts. He is, however, a man of faith, a man of integrity, a strong family man who makes his family his number one priority. He is also a loyal patriot who only wants what he believes is best for the country as a whole.
Former Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, who is in the process of launching an aggressive presidential campaign, wrote in a Facebook post on Friday, 30 January 2015:
Romney has been a leader in our party for many years. There are few people who have worked harder to elect Republicans across the country than he has. Though I'm sure today's decision was not easy, I know that Mitt Romney will never stop advocating for renewing America's promise through upward mobility, encouraging free enterprise and strengthening our national defense. Mitt is a patriot and I join many in hoping his days of serving our nation and our party are not over.
There is no doubt in anyone's mind about Romney's loyalty and devotion to this great nation. Because of his unwavering patriotism, he feels that he has a duty to serve in the capacity of President of the United States. As he contemplates running for the White House for the third time, friends and allies alike have commented, "His abiding Mormon faith is inextricably tied to his sense of service and patriotism, and a facet of his life that he is determined to embrace more openly in a possible third campaign."
A Mormon family friend, Kirk Jowers, who lives in Utah and chaired Romney's leadership PAC, stated that Romney's consideration of a third run is motivated by an "almost devout belief that he needs to do something for this country." Jowers also believes that because Romney has become so well known by the populace, he will be more relaxed in discussing his faith than he was during the 2008 election, and more at liberty to discuss his faith than he was during the 2012 election when his team was reluctant for him to make any mention of his faith. According to the New York Times.com article dated 25 January 2015:
The 2014 Netflix "Mitt" documentary — from filmmaker Greg Whiteley, a Mormon — offered an appealing, behind-the-scenes look at Mr. Romney as a man of faith and family. Many in his inner circle said that if he runs again, this is the version of Mitt Romney that they would present to the country.
Mormonism has been a major part of Romney's life from the very beginning. His late father, George Romney, was the governor of Michigan and a prominent Mormon. Romney served a two-and-a-half-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in France in the 1960's. And he has also served in leadership roles in The Church of Jesus Christ, as "a pastor for a congregation and for groups of congregations."
Friends and former advisers, however, say that Romney does not believe that he has been "divinely called to seek the presidency a third time." They believe that the driving force in his decision making process is his overarching concern for the direction that the country is going in. The New York Times.com article further mentions:
But many close to him also point to the perseverance he learned as a missionary; the sense of American exceptionalism and public service central to the church's teachings; and his belief — buttressed by his faith — that if he feels in his heart he has something to offer the country, he is compelled to pursue it, regardless of the obstacles.
As a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ, Romney completely understands the teaching of the Church that when we are in the service of our fellow man, we are in the service of our God. And so, with that in mind, "There is something not only with his experience in the church, but with his family's experience in the church back to the Mormon pioneer days — and the church ethos as a whole does inform his thinking and character and behavior," said Philip Barlow, a professor of Mormon history at Utah State University.
Spencer Zwick, a Mormon and close friend of the Romney family, ran Romney's 2012 finance operation. He has stated that the times that he has seen Romney become emotional are when he is talking about his family, his father and the United States. Zwick went on to comment, "When he talks about America, he does so with passion and a sense of reverence for his country."
Another close friend of the Romney family, John Miller, who lives in Utah and has spoken with Romney during recent deliberations, has stated, "This is a very prayerful thing. . . . In the end, it's really a decision between him and Ann and their belief system, their God. That's the authentic Mitt."
Tagg Romney, the oldest of the Romney's five adult sons commented:
He [Romney] has been reluctant to speak too openly on the campaign trail about his faith, out of a concern that people would believe his motivation for running was based on an attempt to convert others to his faith.
If he were to run again, I believe he would be much more willing to open up and share who he is — not by asking others to learn the doctrines of his faith but by speaking of the values of love and service that it has taught him.
With his spiritual background and unsung patriotism, is it any wonder that Romney has indicated that poverty would be the central theme of his next campaign. According to a 27 January 2015 Washington Post.com article:
In recent remarks to the Republican National Committee, Romney cited his work tending to the poor, sick or otherwise needy people in his church as evidence that he could authentically carry a poverty message and connect with working- and middle-class Americans.
"In spite of the comments about the '47 percent,' he now talks about lifting the poor," said friend Fraser Bullock, referring to Romney's 2012 remarks about people dependent on government. "That's something he's done his whole life, but he's done it quietly, ministering his faith and helping people who are struggling with this issue or that issue. That was all hidden last time."
If Mitt Romney decides to make another run for the White House, the American people will have a truer picture of who he really is – a man of faith and a devoted patriot.]]>

Can easily devour a bag in one minute. Can't keep these on the shelf if our house. Even all my fussy kids can plug out their favorite fruits. I've ordered this dozens of times and it's guaranteed to be crunchy.

Five Tips for Better Potato SaladJenny
1. Choose the right potatoes. You want small, low-starch waxy potatoes that will hold their shape after boiling: red, red bliss, new or Yukon gold potatoes.
2. Salt the boiling water. Use more than you think you'll need, like a few fingerfuls for the amount seen on the left. Trust me, they absorb a lot and when they're done you barely have to add a drizzle of olive oil or dollop of sour cream to make them taste good.
3. The Knife Test. They are done cooking when you can slip a sharp knife through the flesh without resistance. Cook times vary depending on size and shape of potato, but generally you want to start checking after they've been boiling for 12 minutes.
4. Toss While Warm. If you are tossing the potatoes in a dressing, always do it when they are still warm. Potatoes will absorb more of the oil when they're warm.
5. Go with the Small Dice. Last year, I went to the cafe at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and had the freshest, simplest potatoes tossed with olive oil, creme fraiche, sea salt, and chives. But the best thing about them were that they were chopped into bite-size pieces. Somehow, it elevated the old barbecue stand-by to new levels. And I've been doing it at my own table ever since.

In the movie Rio 2, Blu, Jewel, and their three kids are flying in the Amazon instead of in Rio, and kids can play out the flying action with the Rio 2 Flying High Jewel. This remote-control figure can be used indoors or outdoors, and it comes with a four-foot tether that connects the figure to the remote. Hold the figure upright in one hand and move the lever on the remote to start. The bird's wings will begin to flap. Let go and walk around with Jewel as she flies. You can also connect Jewel to the display peg on the remote for storage and display when playtime is over.
While kids will certainly love watching Jewel fly, it may take a few tries for kids to get the hang of controlling the toy. The instructions don't say anything about walking with the toy as it flies, but that's what you have to do. Actually, because the toy flies so quickly, you have to run to keep up with it otherwise Jewel reaches the end of the tether and just falls. It took us several tries before we got Jewel to fly in the air for more than two seconds. Once we did get it to work, it was pretty cool, and Jewel can fly for a fairly long time as long as you're able to keep up with her and she doesn't hit any obstacles.
Rio 2 Flying High Jewel is for ages 5 and up.
Three AA batteries are required but not included.
Whether flying this inside or outside, always make sure you're flying it in an open space.
A Rio 2 Flying High Blu is also available and sold separately.
3 AA batteries required

I think the comment was about http://www.macdefender.org/index.html, made by mac_defender in the Heads Up/Warning Mac Defender discussion here in ASC
No. It wasn't here I saw it, but I do remember someone from zeobit (or claiming to be from zeobit) coming into one of the numerous threads -- maybe the one you linked? -- on this topic, trying to establish some distance between his thing and the Trojan reported as being named MacKeeper 911. But now not sure if the Trojan has ever really used the name "MacKeeper 911," or if it wasn't one of MacKeeper's ubiquitous pop-ups people are talking about in the MacUpdate comments.
If those pop-ups are happening, that is pretty scummy business. I think they are also redirecting to some fake ClamX site, or something like that. Don't remember exactly what that was now.
MadMacs0 May 22, 2011 11:12 AM

Someone has created a site called clamxav dot org (the real site is clamxav.com) which ends up with a download link for MacKeeper and there is a YouTube video which leads you to this site as well.

You said "For some Mac users it might be worth the price for the included 24/7 toll free support feature, but probably not for many."
To me there is one VERY cool feature. What if your Mac is stolen? If you've registered your computer with these guys and your computer is stolen just go to their website and login to your acct. and tell them it was stolen. Then the next time your computer goes online they will activate your iSight camera and take a picture of the thief and email it to you. How cool is that?
It also seems to do a good job of locating tons of needless files that can be safely deleted, a feature that is not built into your mac and something even a Mac geek like me can't manually do without a considerable amount of effort. Perhaps it's a bit too agressive and might delete something you need? <shrug>

Let's think this through. First, if you are a somewhat experienced Mac user, you should know to password protect ALL of your user accts AND to shut down your computer when in transit ( I assume we are talking laptops here ). This means that the thief would have to hack into the Mac to get it running in the first place, and if he/she has that skill, they will probably have the smarts to set up their own user acct ( admin ) which will bypass any software loaded at login by other users. If the thief doesn't have those skills, he/she will probably ditch the computer without turning it on if all accts are password protected. Also, who says the thief is dumb enough to go online before setting up his/her own user acct or even wiping the HD and re-installing OS X. Unlike with PC's, Macs have great re-sale value and the resale or use of a stolen Mac is generally more valuable than the data contained on a computer's HD. Granted there is a scenario where the laptop was in sleep mode and thus already logged into an acct, but surely anyone who knows enough to password their acct also knows to activate the option to require a password when waking from sleep and in the chance that the thief was really after data from the computer ( credit card info, passwords, etc ) taking a picture of the perp will not prevent the data from being stolen anyway. In other words, the functionality and/or benefits of having the Mac take a picture of the person using the device is either trumped or disabled by the simple process of properly securing your computer using the free methods contained within OS X.
Secondly, in order for that functionality to be active, there needs to be software running in the background ( started at login ) that enables the author of the software access to your computer's camera at any time. Do you leave your computer running on your desk in your bedroom ? You may just as well let the software manufacturer install video cameras throughout your home. The authors of MacKeeper may indeed be legit and honest, but can you trust whomever may purchase the rights to that software later ? How would you even know if the company was sold ?
Bottom line ... even if I had use for other functionality of MacKeeper, after hearing about this "feature" you couldn't pay me to install it on my Mac.

Apple recently published an article - How to avoid or remove Mac Defender malware:
D_Train May 24, 2011 5:05 PM
in response to Dolphbucs
Dolphbucs (you must be in Florida, eh?) So who do you route for if the Dolphins play the Bucs?
While you make some very valid points (I never thought of them having the ability to activate my camera any time they want to) the Mac user you describe is a rare bird indeed (can you say Utopia?). In my experience
(and I have a lot of experience helping Mac owners) at least 90% of the Mac owners out there have auto login enabled and do not have a screensaver password enabled. Of course the savvy, security conscious Mac owner you describe probably won't be a likely target for thieves anyway (because they live in a Utopia). Thieves are not always very knowledgeable about the computers they steal (there's that Utopia again) and usually steal from the easy targets, i.e. those that are careless about the security of their Mac's, who, trust me, are in the vast majority.
However, like I said, you made some very valid points and I appreciate it.
Dolphbucs May 24, 2011 8:56 PM
in response to D_Train
Don't sell the Mac community short. Almost every Mac owner I know ( like my 80 yr old Dad ) has password protection. I'll give you that many do not, but I'd say it's closer to 50/50 than the 90% you quote. You don't think theives are savy enough about what they steal to know to take a Mac laptop to a fence or disreputable computer shop ? I'm not in FL, I live in upstate NY. And where I'm from theives are VERY knowledgable about what they target. Trust me, I work closely with law enforcement and I know for a fact of what I speak. Don't underestimate the criminal element out there.
My point is why should a person shell out $40 for a questionable piece of software, when a little education from people ( like yourself ) who are out there trying to help people with their Macs will save them the cost as well as protect them even better anyway. I'm sure your heart's in the right place, but really, IMO you should be teaching them the proper way to set up their Mac first ... not just giving them a quick and easy software solution that costs them $$$$. For what it's worth.
D_Train May 25, 2011 7:24 AM
in response to Dolphbucs
Hi Dolph,
Well I'm not selling anyone anything, nor even recommending anything, just pointing out some observations from my point of view. Now granted the Mac owners I talk to may be mostly from the 50% of Mac owners that are not very savvy (like a lot of the people on these forums, they come here BECAUSE they aren't that savvy and need help more than those owners that are more serurity conscious). So I'll give you that maybe as much as 50% of ALL Mac owners have auto-login turned off. It's the people that have it turned off that usually have no idea what their admin password is. LOL!
Take care.

Viator rep was waiting for us as we come into passport control at the airport. He whisked us through and got us to the Hotel within an hour of landing. Will be using you again next year.
Excellent. Have booked many trips before and as always you guys offer very good value for money. Would highly recommend!
Well if you want to be treated as Royalty book this arrival trip. What more can I say the guy remembered us from last time. Smooth transfer through customs and out the door, done and dusted with friendly chat. What more can one ask for. What it says on the tin is what you get and more. Will do it every time.
David S United Kingdom
Very helpful excellent service. Thank you.
Definitely worth the money - especially if you are arriving for the first time. Our tour guide, Ahmed, met us at the gate and introduced us to the driver. He got us checked into the hotel 5 hours early and kept in touch with us during our entire trip!
Entertaining and very informative. Highly recommendable.
Couldnt have had a more proffesional service, courtesy, speed and comfort excellent
Met by a very friendly and helpful representative who whisked us through the formalities of passport control, jumping the queues! Excellent service and highly recommended. Will certainly be booking again on our next trip to Sharm.
Excellent - we were met at airport super quick, and in the front of queue for visas. We passed through passport control into an excellent air conditioned vehicle, only slightly higher cost than a taxi. Go for it!
Jennifer W United Kingdom
We were met as we entered the terminal from the plane and our guide immediately directed us to a window to obtain visas where we didn't have to wait in line. He then whisked us past the passport queue, picked up the bags and out to the waiting taxi. The whole airport process took about 15 minutes. Amazingly fast, great service - would definitely recommend. He also came into the hotel to make sure check in ran smoothly and gave us some tips and pointers on the journey there. This is my fourth use of Viator and South Sinai Travel and the service has been excellent every time.
Representative was waiting in the arrivals hall as promised vehicle waiting outside, superb. Took us to our hotel and made sure that we where all checked in before leaving. Could not of asked for anything more from this service Excellent!
Enid B United Kingdom
Excellent Service. As we entered the airport a representative from Viator was waiting to meet us. He whisked us through passport control, hurried the luggage along and we were at our Hotel within 1 hour of landing. We were not left until we were given the key to our room and he was satisfied we were ok. I would highly recommend this service.
EFantastic, absolutely FANTASTIC. Made us fell like VIP from the moment we landed. Would recommend VIATOR to everyone who is travelling to Sharm without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you for making a great holiday even better…… nter your review here.
Tracey M United Kingdom
Highly recommended for quick transfer to hotel. Did not have to wait in long queue for immigration. Only hold up was waiting for luggage. Would certainly recommend this service again.
Chris A United Kingdom
Brilliant service. Was rushed through passport control at Sharm. My girlfriend and I were the only passengers on the way to our hotel which was ideal. Very friendly staff and would use this service again without a doubt.
Audrey G United Kingdom
Superb service hassle free at airport. Got to my hotel in quick time and avoided the rush before the tour bus arrived .
Mara H Switzerland
Ayman, the guide who picked us up at the airport was excellent and did it all for us. We just followed him. He is the best and I recommend Viator to all travelling to Sharm el Sheikh. Ayman you rock!
Nicola M United Kingdom
Excellent service, met off the plane, straight to the front of the immigration queue, which felt a bit cheeky but was common place it seemed.. Transfer smooth, just over an hour to Dahab in a mini bus with air con and very informative guide. Recommended and would use again.
David S United Kingdom
excellent service would recomend to anyone
Sandra M United Kingdom
first class service driver was there to meet us and take us through like royalty well worth the cost very impressed will certainly use this company again thank you

It was nice having someone waiting to take you to the hotel rather than dealing with taxis when you aren't familiar with the area.
Andrea R Canada
Although it would've been cheaper to take a taxi, the private arrival transfer from the airport in Sharm was well worth it. Ayman was waiting for us when we got off the plane, and although there were massive queues to get the entry visa and also for customs, he took care of it all without any waiting. He got my visa for me and rushed us through customs to the waiting van. During the drive to our hotel he gave us valuable info about Sharm El Sheikh, and once at the hotel he helped us check in. It was a very pleasant experience!
Natalie J United Kingdom
We were met as we got off the plane and guided through the airport jumping all the queues - we didn't have to do anything for ourselves into we got into our hotel room. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.
Graham B United Kingdom
Excellent service very efficient only thing is no one offered to give a hand with luggage even though we did not need it.
DAMION T United Kingdom
Fantastic. Viator rep met us straightaway in the terminal, filled out our landing cards and then queue jumped us through passport control. Helped with our luggage.

Decent goggles
Great in open water, can't keep unfogged in pool

Love them. They don't make me feel claustrophobic. They don't fog up so often.

Average Overall
After about 10 laps the eye piece moves upward and sits between my cheek bone and my bottom eye lid. Not sure if it's the shape of my face or if I need goggles with larger eye pieces. These goggles tend to fog up a bit after about 10 minutes.
Ann Arbor, MI
Put these on for the first time in a masters meet last weekend. Adjusted them on dry land then swam warm-ups and 7 swims. No leaks and no fog without any other adjustments. Perfect on dives and turns. Had the same experience during lake swims last summer. Only problem is I lost that pair and got by with various old goggles. You owe it to yourself to try these.

Aqua Sphere Kaiman Goggle
Gave this 4 stars b/c these do not last as long as my TYR goggles, HOWEVER, these are comfortable to me. I like the rubber bridge that connects the goggles and the wide flat rubber straps on the back. I have a narrow face and these fit perfect. I typically get 3 pair. I use 2 pair to train with in the pool (clear or amber/blue lenses) and I get a tinted mirrored lens to race with (early am races for sun rise/glare). I do this bc they WILL fog after the first 5 uses. It just happens, get over it. I use the tinted mirrored lens for race day and only use them to race in. I keep mine in the plastic container they come with and dry them off to stop the chlorine from breaking down the rubber seals. I have been using these for about 2 years consistently now. They do wear out after about 8 months. Also, the clear rubber seals will turn brown from lake water, so buy black rubber seals if this matters to you. I do train for ironman so I spend a little bit of time in the pool. Maybe not as much as others, but just my 2.
Flowood, MS
Love the Kaiman goggles
I love Kaiman goggles. They are comfortable and fit my face without sucking out my eye sockets. Up to this point my favorite lens was the yellow. It has now become the blue lens.
Lin B.
The Villages, FL
Leaks After Three Months
These goggles were amazing out of the package. I didn't even have to tighten them to get a perfect seal and the fit was super comfortable. After three months of use, I am getting boatloads of water seeping into my right lens. Perhaps it's the shape of my face, but it's pretty disappointing. During my last swim I kept having to empty the gaskets between lengths. Finally, I cranked them down really tight and it stopped the leaking. Hopefully, this works as I was hoping to get 6-12 months out of these. If they don't work I think I will go with the Tyr Nest Pro next time.
Vine Grove, KY
Leaks for me
Can't seem to get them to seal on my face unless I make them really tight and then I have marks on my face that last all day.

I made this over the weekend and it was great - thank you for the recipe. For the GF flour mix, I used a combination of Bob's Red Mill all-purpose, and then a mix of other GF flours (I don't remember exactly which ones).
Thank you for making this recipe so easy and VERY DELICIOUS. I think I will try it in muffin form the next time. I can't seem to keep the rest of my family out of it (they are not gluten free). I am the only one in the house that is. It was moist and airy, the edges were not tough and the texture was very good. It didn't have the after taste of some GF breads either.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I am new to gluten-free cooking and this was such a treat. I ended up making it in muffin pans, which of course cut the cooking time considerably. Can't wait to try it out on some of my friends with more skeptical pallets:)

Eating chocolate each day could reduce heart disease and diabetes risk
A new study published in the British Journal of Nutrition appears to back up the adage that a little of what you fancy does you good.
A new study published in the British Journal of Nutrition appears to back up the adage that a little of what you fancy does you good.
Insulin resistance (IR) is the condition in which normal amounts of insulin are inadequate to produce a normal insulin response from fat, muscle and liver cells. Insulin resistance in fat cells reduces the effects of insulin and results in elevated hydrolysis of stored triglycerides in the absence of measures which either increase insulin sensitivity or which provide additional insulin. Increased mobilization of stored lipids in these cells elevates free fatty acids in the blood plasma. Insulin resistance in muscle cells reduces glucose uptake (and so local storage of glucose as glycogen), whereas insulin resistance in liver cells results in impaired glycogen synthesis and a failure to suppress glucose production. Elevated blood fatty acid levels (associated with insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus Type 2), reduced muscle glucose uptake, and increased liver glucose production all contribute to elevated blood glucose levels. High plasma levels of insulin and glucose due to insulin resistance are believed to be the origin of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, including its complications.

Generically stable and smooth measures in NIP theories
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We formulate the measure analogue of generically stable types in first order theories with (without the independence property), giving several characterizations, answering some questions from an earlier paper by Hrushovski and Pillay, and giving another treatment of uniqueness results from the same paper. We introduce a notion of ``generic compact domination'', relating it to stationarity of the Keisler measures, and also giving definable group versions. We also prove the ``approximate definability'' of arbitrary Borel probability measures on definable sets in the real and -adic fields.

Always selfish.

I would if I could.
You know I would.
I'm sorry.
I know I'm not perfect.
I wish I could be for you.
I need you.
But I think, you need me more,
You just wont admit it.

Lyall Lupin
Revision as of 21:26, December 21, 2012 by Seth Cooper (Talk | contribs)
13,124pages on

Lyall Lupin was a Ministry of Magic employee who was responsible for getting rid of the Screaming Bogey of Strathtully, a Boggart that had fed on the fears of local Muggles to the point that it had become an elephantine black shadow with glowing white eyes, by trapping it in a matchbox.[1]
Behind the scenes
- Lyall may be Lupin's father, though this is unconfirmed.
- "Lyall" may be from a Scottish surname which was derived from the Old Norse given name "Liulfr" (which was derived in part from "úlfr", meaning "wolf"). "Lyall" is also a common surname (most common in America).
- "Lupin" is derived from "lupus(a)", Latin for "wolf". Lupin thus means "wolf-like" in Latin, and is also the name of a flower. "Canis Lupus" is the scientific name for wolf. To be described as "lupine" means to "resemble a wolf". This alludes to the lycanthropy in the Lupin family.

Local Bands & Labels: Time To Send Us Your September Releases For Review in Reverb Monthly!"/>
We're rounding up all September releases from local musicians and/or local labels--if you have a song, album, EP, or anything musical that's coming out in September--or if we missed you in last month's issue--please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com stating the name of the artist, the name of the record, its official release date, and a digital copy of the music. Records that are streaming on Bandcamp or Soundcloud work perfectly fine. Downloadable copies compressed into one zip file are really cool.

A Medici With Your Money
Fannie Mae's strategic generosity.
Fannie Mae sports television ads depicting young couples, plucky immigrants, and others being helped by Fannie Mae. "Showing America a New Way Home" is the slogan. That is also the name of Johnson's recent book--a 175-page tract that pleads for still more subsidies while cloaking itself in high-mindedness. The book is a parody of Bartlett's, serving up quotes from Lincoln, Jefferson, and Roger Rosenblatt with equal pomposity. The cover shows Johnson, a bland-looking man in full business attire, on the porch of an all-American home that looks a tad too small to be his. The flag is conveniently draped in the background. The back jacket is crammed with bipartisan blurbs--from Jack Kemp to Vernon Jordan, Dianne Feinstein, and Ann McLaughlin, George Bush's secretary of labor. Acknowledgments are offered to any number of Washington big shots, including Slate's own Robert Shrum, who is thanked for his "considerable editing skills." Alas, the text could have done with more Shrum, who, let's hope, did not pen the line, "Home is about freedom."
The book's subtitle is "Expanding Opportunities for Home Ownership." Johnson's idea of opportunity ranges from the unobjectionable--like giving banks better software for mortgage applications--to a bunch of new subsidies, many of which, sadly, Clinton and the Republican Congress may enact. The truth about government subsidies for real estate--including the granddaddy: the home-mortgage-interest deduction--is that they do very little to make housing more affordable. Part gets siphoned off by middlemen like Fannie Mae. Most of the rest melts away into higher real-estate prices. The main beneficiary of any subsidy for real estate is the person who owns the property at the time the subsidy is instituted, not the future buyer.
Fannie Mae, unfortunately, has become a model. There is Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae's smaller cousin in the housing market. And there is Sallie Mae (Student Loan Marketing Association), which creates a similar secondary market in subsidized student loans. Organizations combining public and private functions appeal to the woolly ideal of government-business partnership. They seem to represent a third way, a healthy distrust of government and the market, levelheadedness leavened by a kind heart. More often, as with Fannie Mae, what you get is the worst excesses of both.

NEW ORLEANS -- Lionel Richie got a little help from his former bandmates to close out the weekend's Essence Music Festival: Members of The Commodores joined him on stage to sing several of their hits, including "Brick House" and "Just to be Close to You."
The crowd remained on their feet through the nearly two-hour set and Richie's encore of "All Night Long."
The final night of the festival stretched well into early Monday at the Superdome, with performances by Richie, En Vogue, Teena Marie, Al Green and Maze, featuring Frankie Beverly.
Beverly and Maze have closed out the event each of the past 15 years. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin presented Beverly with the city's crystal star award.
Beverly, 62, simply said "thank you" and returned to doing what he does best -- singing: "Now, we're gonna wear you out some more!"
Sunday's events started with inspiring gospel at the Morial Convention Center, along with honors for Bishop T.D. Jakes, the Dallas pastor who gave the sermon for President Barack Obama's inauguration.
"He's such a voice, such a man," gospel singer Smokie Norful said before singing a tribute. "He's been such a phenomenal presence in my life through his preaching ministry, such a help to me from way back in the day and now, who knew I'd be on stage honoring him?"
A sermon by Bishop Eddie Long of Atlanta highlighted the tribute.

She is 6 months. old.
We do solids between feedings but then stretch out the interval (if that makes sense). My LO eats 6oz of formula every 4 hours. We do solids once a day either morning or afternoon depending on when I have classes that day. For example, if LO takes a bottle at 8am I feed solids 2.5-3 hours later (so around 11am). Then I offer the next bottle at 1 (5 hours between bottles instead of 4 hours).
I want to up it to 2 solid feedings/day but my classes are kind of making that difficult and her daddy doesn't have the patience for solids right now so I think we will have to wait for 2 solid feedings/day until she is taking her solids a little easier.
I think stage 2 are pretty much the same consistency so I think once your LO has had all but one of the foods in the blend you can use them. For example if you are doing a spinach and apple medly as long as LO has had apple you can do the spinach and apple. If you are doing peas, carrots, and potato you can do it as long as lo has had peas and carrots. (IDK what blends they have as we haven't looked yet lol). You wouldn't even HAVE to make sure you are only introducing 1 new food. That is just to test for allergies. If you introduce more than one new food at a time and your LO has a reaction you won't know which food it is to.
