BOY SCOUTS SWEPT TO DEATH IN RISING CREEK.
THREE BODIES RECOVERED, FIVE LADS MISSING AND 14 RESCUED IN TENNESSEE AFTER WATER CARRIES AWAY HOUSE; FLOODS ARE BATTLED IN FIVE STATES.
Rockford, Tenn., (UP) -- Spring floods were endangering life and property in five mid-Eastern and Southern states Saturday night as rain-swollen rivers broke over their banks in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois.
Directly south, residents of central Tennessee were battling against the intrusion of flood waters from the Emory River and its branches in Roane County, but with little success. At Tarwater, six miles south of Rockford [sic], a troop of 28 Boy Scouts was swept down White Creek on the roof of the bungalow where they had taken refuge as the water crept upon their camp.
Mothers and fathers on the banks of the stream were reported to have stood by helplessly within earshot of the cries of their sons. Volunteers pursued the boys downstream in boats, brought overland from the Tennessee River. Some were rescued.
From throughout the stricken regions came reports of fresh rainfall which further aggravated the already perilous situation in river towns and all lowland communities.
Stories of bravery in the face of death, whole communities fleeing before the floods, stalled trains, refugees floating down stream on housetops and the inundation of property worth millions of dollars were sent out of the flooded areas over crippled lines of communities.
Kentucky and Tennessee appeared to be the hardest hit Saturday because of the suddenness with which the deluge rolled down the Cumberland and Emory valleys. New flood warnings based on more rainfall were issued for the Chattahoochie, the Coosa and the Alabama basins in Alabama and Georgia, where residents have been battling the ravages of high water for more than a week.
The Mississippi River was spilling over the farm lands in the neighborhood of Quincy, Ill., as volunteers worked feverishly to support levees with sandbags. Alarming reports came from the Cumberland valley around Pineville, Ky., and from the Emory River system in central Tennessee.
Rockwood, Tenn., March 23. -- With three already dead, hope was abandoned tonight for five other members of the Boy Scout troop marooned in the cabin where they were spending the weekend when it was carried away by the swollen waters of White Creek, six miles south of here, today.
The bodies of Scoutmaster JAMES TARWATER WRIGHT, JAMES EDWARD BURNETT, JR., and JAMES CLARENCE HILL, who were drowned when the cabin broke up in the flooded stream, have been recovered. With 14 of the scouts rescued. CHARLES FRED BURNETT, twin brother of JAMES EDWARD; LAWRENCE NEDRA MONTGOMERY; ROY PAUL GREEN; JACK ACUFF SHAMHART and WOODROW WILSON KERR were still missing and believed drowned.
The 21 scouts and their scoutmaster went to the Tarwater bungalow last night. A cloudburst, which washed away the county bridge on the main highway at the Roane-Rhea county line tore down the cabin, breaking it into three pieces.
"We left Rockwood at about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the Tarwater bungalow, where we were to spend the weekend. Twenty-five of us went. But three of the boys went back home after supper. During the evening we sat around and JIM (referring to Scoutmaster WRIGHT) read to us from a book called 'Up Eel River.' We went to bed about 10 o'clock, all of us sleeping on the floor in the same room."
"The next thing I knew, WILLARD STAPLES, who was lying close to the door, woke me, saying that there was water on the floor. Then JIM woke up and roused the other boys. Before we could get out clothes on, the water was knee-deep. We went out on the porch and saw there was water all around us. We stood on the porch for half an hour or longer, trying to figure a way to get out. All the time the water was rising we stood on benches, but the water came up even higher than that."
"JIM then told us to get on the roof. The next thing I heard was a tremendous crash. The county highway bridge had just fallen into the water. We saw men on the railroad bridge and tried to signal to them, but I don't think they could see or hear us. It was still somewhat dark. It was raining and the water was cold. Then all of a sudden the cabin tumbled over into the stream, breaking in three pieces. JIMMY COLE and I were on the smallest one. We floated down the stream and noticed that we were sinking. We grabbed for a tree and stayed on it a while. We saw then it was bending too far down. So we leaped from it into the water and swam to another tree. That didn't suit us so we again jumped into the water and swam to a drift. We were on it when rescued."
When word of the boys' plight reached Rockwood about 200 automobiles went to the scene. Most of the scouts were rescued by Sid Montgomery, George Wing and Sam Chevtrant, Rockwood men.
They found the boys in tree tops and on drifts.
The injured are JACK TAREWATER, JR.; PAUL HICKEY, who has a broken hip and internal injuries; WILLARD STAPLES; JAMES COLE; L. G. McCLUCE, JR.; HARRY SCHAMBART; TOM DOUGLASS, who has a broken leg; WILLIE EVANS; JOE BOSHEARS, who is in bed with a high fever; JACK HAMBY, who has cuts and a broken hip; CLIFFORD SEWARD; CARL MEG, JR., who is badly scratched; WILLIAM TAYLOR and TED DERRICK.
My name is Terry "TJ" Williams and I am the District Executive for the Catoosa District, Great Smoky Mountain Council, Boy Scouts of America, serving all of Roane, Cumberland, Fentress, and Pickett Counties in East Tennessee. My district committee and I have adopted the monument as a permanent project and will begin restoration and landscaping on June 25th. I would love to speak to you about it. Send me an email at [email protected] and maybe we can get together.
This article refers to the monument as being near Rockford, TN. That is incorrect. The monument is near ROCKWOOD, TN. Rockford, TN between Alcoa and Knoxville, TN.
My father, William Taylor, often told us of his ordeal in the flood. He was in that boy scout troop, about age sixteen at the time of the flood. He and some other boy scouts climed a building and clung to the roof. Floating down the creek, the building started to twist and break apart, one section nearly crushed my dad's leg but he was able to hoist his leg up onto the roof. His father Sam Taylor died in a Rockwood mine accident October 1926. Not sure how long after after that, his mother, Nell and sister Grace moved to New York.
My Uncle Jack Hamby told us the story of flooding and that he was one of the boys outs who clung to a tree for a long time. He did lose half of his little finger. He repeated how frightening it was for him. Jack was my mother's older brother and both have since died. Jack had a great sense of humor and was quite spirited and outgoing. He told great stories and I really have missed him. He spent most of his cult life in Knoxville.
OH!! I'm sorry to hear that.. sounds so sad..
My paternal grandfather was one of the boys that survived.. His name is spelled incorrectly in the article. His correct name is Carl Mee, Jr. not Meg. Please note my maiden, middle name. Obviously I am named after him and loved him very much. He sold furniture and gave me a love of golf. Thank to who posted the article.
The name of the town above white's creek is not rockford- it is rockwood as stated in the second article. As a young man on my paper route in my hometown of Rockwood I used to stop by Paul Hickey's store to get a coca-cola. (7 ounces back then!) He told me of his ordeal in the white's creek flood once when I asked about it, but never mentioned it again.

Feeling ever more like a marsupial, (or being male should that be a Pa-Supial) with Squeaky stuffed down the front of my shirt as if she was in my pouch.
There is good news and bad news. The good news is that Squeaky is eating like a horse, drinking like me in the bad old days, and is half way to being litter trained. The other good news is that it looks increasingly likely that we shall be getting the vast majority, if not all, of my missing data back tomorrow.
The bad news is that it is taking longer than we, or the data recovery people, had hoped and so we won't be back operational until later tomorrow.

Bollywood dancing diva Madhuri Dixit is all set to make her debut in a Marathi film.The 50-year-old actor, whose career in Hindi films spans over three decades, is set to feature in a slice-of-life Marathi movie that revolves around the self-realisation journey of a woman with a dash of humour attached to its narrative style.Talking about the project, Madhuri said, "It is a story of every household yet it has a silver lining. It not only gives you hope and inspiration but also encourages you to live life in the true sense."The most fascinating factor for me to choose it is that it is going to carve a niche in everyone's heart." The yet-to-be-titled film will be directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, who has co-written the script along with Devashree Shivadekar.On what took her a long time to take up a Marathi project, the "Dedh Ishqiya" actor said it was the right script for her."Marathi cinema is evolving so beautifully and seeing such incredible stories being told makes me beam with pride. I have received a number of scripts over the years since doing a Marathi film was always something I was open to."But the scripts didn't excite me as this one did. When I read this script, it stood out and with the amazing team behind it, I knew that this is what I wanted to be a part of," she said.The film is co-produced by Subhedar and Aarti Subhedar of Blue Mustang Creations, along with Vivek Rangachari and Arun Rangachari of Dar Motion Pictures.The movie is in pre-production stage and will go on floors by the year end.

When I first met Alister & Kate, I knew that I was going to have a ball photographing their wedding. They were laid-back, laughed a lot, and they wanted photos with their pets (always a great idea, especially when you have a horse and the most adorable blue heeler called Taj).
They married at St Mary's in Busselton with a reception at Aravina Estate and photos at Kate's family's farm in Yallingup.
Great couple. Great light. Great wedding.


Something I'm going to try to be better about on the blog this year is writing about some of the photography books that inspire me. I love flipping through the pages of good monographs and I want to share some of the ones that I find draw inspiration from in my collection. This time I thought I'd talk about a neat little book by Steve McCurry called Portraits. While it's a smallish book, it is quite thick and packed with nothing but full page portraits and spreads. I'm betting a lot of people who don't recognize the name Steve McCurry will certainly recognize his iconic Afghan Girl photo on the cover.
While Steve is known for his photojournalism work, he's also quite an accomplished portrait photographer. Most of the photos in this book aren't photojournalistic per se, rather they appear to be posed shots of interesting people that he encountered in his travels. The reason this book is so inspiring to me is that the images cover decades and were taken across continents, countries, and cultures. Yet, there is a consistency to Steve's portraits. A lot of the look in many of these images comes from that wonderful Kodachrome film that he liked to use. The lighting is usually natural, taken in shade, maybe some fill here and there with a small flash - nothing fancy. As a photojournalist he wasn't running around with a studio strobe and soft box. The eyes are what are so amazing in his portraits to me. His lens seems to look deep into people and invites the viewer to linger. You want to meet his subjects.
Portraits is certainly a great book for anyone who photographs people. Even if you don't, it's a great example of how a photographer produces a unique look with simple gear. Steve is one of those photographers that when you see one of his portraits, you recognize his work.

Sisters of St. Joseph of BostonIn MemoriamSister Stella Carmitros
We remember her in the blowing wind and the chill of winter.
April 6, 1919 – February 7, 2016
"Joy is the Echo of God's Love within Us
Blessed Abbot Columba Joseph Marmion
This quote by Blessed Joseph Marmion resounds throughout our celebration of the life of Sister Stella Caramitros today. We can say without a doubt that the joy that Stella shared with her devoted family, her many friends and colleagues and with us, the Sisters of St. Joseph, reflected her love, as well as God's love, for all of us.
I came to know Stella later in her life when I became her area councilor. All of you have known her for many more years than I, but this celebration expresses in Scripture and song the Stella I have grown to know and love. If we listen carefully to the readings and hymns that Stella planned for her funeral Liturgy, I think we will hear Stella speaking to us repeatedly in words like joy, love, song, praise, glory, rejoice, silence, and peace.
God gifted Stella with many talents. I understand she could repair anything that was broken. She could change the oil in a car and she prepared delicious meals that nourished the body. I was blessed to know and appreciate Stella's more contemplative side which nourished her Soul. In Stella's room there was a beautiful picture of the ocean hanging on the wall right before her eyes. If I recall correctly, Stella told me it was given to her by a member of the Irish Community. That picture was her focus for prayer. It reminded her about her life's journey always in search of reaching the other side, her final destination – her everlasting home. There is a four lined poem that Stella wrote that helped me to interpret her understanding of the picture. The poem reads "Silence of mind. Peace of Soul. In another world God, the Goal." God spoke to Stella in nature. Nature "silenced her mind" and gave "peace to her soul". Many of her poems were the fruit of her prayer. She loved to recite poetry and was a prolific poet herself. The poem on the back cover of her Mass program is a poem Stella requested to be printed.
Stella also loved music; she loved to sing and never hesitated to share her gift of song. How many times has Stella sung the "Fields of Athanry" for you? Well, I heard it every time I was with her because you know – I'm Irish. As our Communion hymn reminds us Stella's life now "flows on in endless song; above earth's lamentation." She hears "the real, though far off hymn that hails a new creation"- eternal life.
The first reading that Stella chose for her funeral is from the Book of Proverbs. An adaptation of this reading describes a worthy Sister of St. Joseph. It reads: "A worthy Sister of St. Joseph uses all her gifts and talents God has given her and works with loving hands. She reaches out her hands to the poor and extends her arms to the needy. The Sister of St. Joseph who loves God and loves the dear neighbor without distinction is to be praised. The reward for her hidden and self-emptying labors will be the deep joy and loving embrace she will receive as she enters the City of God."* I think we all have a memory of when Sister Stella was a "worthy Sister of St. Joseph" to us.
Paul's letter to the Philippians is a beautiful expression of thanks to the people of Philippi. I think it also speaks of Stella's feelings of gratitude for her devoted family, her many friends, our CSJ Community and a remembrance of all of us in her prayer.
As we leave this chapel to bring Stella to her final resting place, we'll sing "When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! "I know that there was no shouting in Sister Stella's room on Sunday afternoon but she was asking God to take her home. I imagine that when God welcomed Stella home, the joy that filled her generous, loving heart could not be contained here on earth any longer.
Stella, this is the day the Lord has made. We are glad and rejoice for you. Death has lost and all is new life as you continue to sing of the Glory of God for all eternity.

A. M. No. MTJ-03-1496 - July 10, 2003
JUDGE ELIEZER R. DE LOS SANTOS, Complainant, vs. JUDGE MARVIN B. MANGINO, respondent.
R E S O L U T I O N
DAVIDE, JR., C.J.:
This administrative matter refers to the Order dated 8 July 19981 of then Judge Eliezer R. de los Santos* of the Regional Trial Court of Angeles City, Branch 59, relative to Criminal Cases Nos. 93-100 and 101 entitled "People of the Philippines v. Jennifer Santos," which were pending in said court.
On 10 July 1998, Judge Eliezer R. de los Santos furnished the Office of the Court Administrator with a copy of his 8 July 1998 Order "for whatever action it may deem appropriate concerning the actuation of Judge Mangino of the Municipal Trial Court of Tarlac in approving the bail bond of an accused arrested in Angeles City and residing in Angeles City and the cases being pending also in Angeles City."
In his 8 July 1998 Order, Judge Eliezer R. de los Santos narrated:
The records show that these cases pending before this Court were filed since last February, 1993. Both the accused and the complainant are residing in Angeles City. The accused was arrested in Angeles City and the bail bond for the provisional liberty of the accused was issued by the Angeles City office of the Imperial Insurance Company. According to the accused, she paid P3,000 as premium to the Imperial Insurance Company thru a certain Mr. Antonio Tolentino. However, instead of having the said bail bond be approved by this Court, the said bail bond was approved by Judge Marvin Mangino of Branch I of the Municipal Trial Court of Tarlac. The order of release was also issued by the said Judge Mangino. According to the accused, she never went to Tarlac and appeared before said Judge Mangino. She also alleged that she never went to Makati City and appeared before the Notary Public Melchor Ancanan.
From the contents of the said bond No. 27367 issued by the Imperial Insurance Company, it was made to appear that accused Jennifer Santos appeared before Notary Public Melchor Ancanan in Makati City on June 23, 1998.
In the same Order, Judge Eliezer R. de los Santos required Julieta M. Bautista, Clerk of Court I, Branch 1, Municipal Trial Court, Tarlac, to appear before his court on 24 July 1998 at 8:30 a.m. to explain and shed light on the circumstances behind the issuance and approval of bail bond No. 27367 by Judge Marvin B. Mangino of Branch 1 of the Municipal Trial Court of Tarlac, Tarlac. He also ordered Mr. Roberto Cabuay, Executive Vice-President and General Manager of the Imperial Insurance Company and notary public Melchor Ancanan to explain in writing or in person why they should not be held liable for making it appear that accused Jennifer Santos appeared before notary public Ancanan in Makati City on 23 June 1998.
In her written compliance2 dated and filed on 23 July 1998, Clerk of Court Julieta M. Bautista of the Municipal Trial Court of Tarlac explained:
Regarding the bailbond posted by the accused JENNIFER SANTOS in Crim. Cases Nos. 93-100 and 101 of that Court, at the time the bondsman Imperial Insurance Co. who [sic] has a branch office at Tarlac, Tarlac, presented the same for approval, he [sic] was with a woman who appears [sic] to be the accused and believing the bond to be legal with all its attached documents, the same was approved by Hon. Marvin B. Mangino of this Court.
For its part, on 18 August 1998, the Office of the Court Administrator referred to Judge Marvin B. Mangino for Comment within ten (10) days from receipt thereof the 8 July 1998 Order of Judge de los Santos.3
On 2 September 1998, Judge Marvin B. Mangino submitted his Comment4 wherein he stated that he "initially adopts" the explanation of Clerk of Court Julieta M. Bautista on the incident, and requested for a photocopy of the order and the bond subject of the case so that he could intelligently make a comment thereon. However, he did not file any supplemental comment or press his request for a photocopy of the order and of the bond.
On 10 April 2002, this Court resolved to require the parties to manifest within ten (10) days from notice whether they were willing to submit the case for resolution on the basis of the pleadings already filed.5
On 14 May 2002, Judge Marvin B. Mangino submitted his manifestation expressing his willingness "to submit for resolution the above-entitled case based on the pleadings filed therein."6 Since complainant Judge de los Santos did not submit any manifestation, the Court, in its Resolution of 19 February 2003 directed that the Resolution of 10 April 2002 be served on him at his office at the Court of Appeals. On 27 March 2003, the Court received his Manifestation7 dated 24 March 2002, expressing his willingness to submit this matter for resolution on the basis of the pleadings already filed.
In its Evaluation Report, the Office of the Court Administrator stated:
Section 17 (a), Rule 114 of the Revised Rules of Court provides that
Bail in the amount fixed may be filed with the Court where the case is pending, or, in the absence or unavailability of the judge thereof, with another branch of the same court within the province, city or municipality other than where the case is pending, bail may be filed also with any regional trial court of said place, or, if no judge there is available, with any metropolitan judge, municipal trial judge or municipal circuit trial judge therein.
Thus, bail may be filed with the same court where the case is pending. In the absence or unavailability of the judge thereof, it may [sic] filed with another branch of the same court within the province or city. If the accused is arrested in a province, city or municipality other than where the case is pending, bail may be filed also with any regional trial court of said place, or, if no judge there is available, with any metropolitan judge, municipal trial judge or municipal circuit trial judge therein.
In the instant case, the accused Jennifer Santos was not arrested. That being the case, she should have filed her bail bond with the court where her case was pending, i.e., the Regional Trial Court of Angeles City. In the absence of the judge thereof, it could be done at another branch of the same court within the province of Pampanga or City of Angeles. Instead, accused Jennifer Santos filed her bond in the Municipal Trial Court of Tarlac, respondent Judge Marvin B. Mangino, presiding, who approved the same and ordered his [sic] release from custody. Res ipsa loquitor. Respondent Judges act is clearly irregular and is in violation of the rules on the matter.
and recommended, as follows:
that respondent Judge Marvin B. Mangino of the Municipal Trial Court of Tarlac, Branch I, be DECLARED guilty of misconduct for non-observance of Section 17(a), Rule 114 of the Revised Rules of Court, a less serious offense under Section 4, Rule 140, supra, for which he should be ordered to pay a FINE of P5,000.
As regards Section 17 (a), Rule 114 of the Rules of Court, cited by the Court Administrator, this Court held in Cruz v. Yaneza:8
The foregoing provision anticipates two (2) situations. First, the accused is arrested in the same province, city or municipality where his case is pending. Second, the accused is arrested in the province, city or municipality other than where his case is pending. In the first situation, the accused may file bail in the court where his case is pending or, in the absence or unavailability of the judge thereof, with another branch of the same court within the province or city. In the second situation, the accused has two (2) options. First, he may file bail in the court where his case is pending or, second, he may file bail with any regional trial court in the province, city or municipality where he was arrested. When no regional trial court judge is available, he may file bail with any metropolitan trial judge, municipal trial judge or municipal circuit trial judge therein.
The case at bar falls under the first situation mentioned in Cruz v. Yaneza because the accused, Jennifer Santos, was arrested in Angeles City and Criminal Cases Nos. 93-100 and 101, which were filed against her and under which she was arrested, were pending with Branch 59 of the Regional Trial Court of Angeles City. Thus, the bail bond for Jennifer Santos provisional liberty should have been filed in said court, or, in the absence or unavailability of the judge thereof, with another branch of the same court within the province or city.
A mere cursory glance of the bail bond application would readily inform Judge Marvin B. Mangino that the criminal cases in question were pending with Branch 59 of the Regional Trial Court of Angeles City. He also knew, or ought to know, that there are many branches of the Regional Trial Court in Angeles City and in the province of Pampanga. Thus, even if the Presiding Judge of Branch 59 was absent or unavailable, any one of the judges of the other branches of the Regional Trial Court in Angeles City could have acted on the bail bond. Judge Marvin B. Mangino also knew that his court is not of the same level as Branch 59 of the Regional Trial Court of Angeles City. Therefore, he knew, or ought to know, that he had absolutely no authority or jurisdiction to approve the bail bond of accused Jennifer Santos. Clearly, Judge Marvin B. Mangino blatantly disregarded Section 17(a), Rule 114 of the Rules of Court.
Worse, it would further appear that Judge Marvin B. Mangino did not even try to verify the authenticity of the bail bond. It appears that the bail bond was notarized in Makati City, although the bonding company has a branch office in Tarlac, Tarlac. He should have inquired why it was notarized in Makati City. It is obvious that he solely relied on the clerk of court and approved the bail bond on the basis of the "findings" of the clerk of court. He admitted this dereliction of duty to make an independent assessment of the bail bond application when he adopted as part of his Comment the compliance of his clerk of court.
It is thus patent that Judge Marvin B. Mangino failed to exert such conscientiousness, studiousness, and thoroughness expected and demanded of a judge. He was, therefore, remiss in observing the conduct expected of a member of the judiciary.9
A judges conduct should be above reproach, and in the discharge of his judicial duties he should be conscientious, studious, thorough, courteous, patient, punctual, just, impartial.10 As an advocate of justice and a visible representation of the law, he is expected to keep abreast with and be proficient in the application and interpretation of the law. When the law is sufficiently basic, a judge owes it to his office to simply apply it; anything less than that would be gross ignorance of the law.
Further, a judge should exhibit more than a cursory acquaintance with the basic legal norms and precepts as well as with statutes and procedural rules. It is his pressing responsibility to be diligently acquainted with the law and jurisprudence and the changes therein not only because the study thereof is a never-ending and ceaseless process but also for the reason that ignorance of the law, which everyone is bound to know, excuses no one, not even judges.11 Having accepted his exalted position as a member of the judiciary, Judge Marvin B. Mangino owes it to the public and to the court over which he presides to maintain professional competence at all times and to have the basic rules at the palm of his hands.12
Judge Marvin B. Mangino failed to live up to these standards. Not only did he approve the bail bond of the accused without the requisite authority to do so, his manner of doing so showed a flagrant disregard for the applicable procedural law he had sworn to uphold and serve. Unfamiliarity with the Rules of Court is a sign of incompetence which goes against Canon 3, specifically Rule 3.01, of the Code of Judicial Conduct.13 To disregard the law when one has become familiar with it is worse because bad faith comes in.
This palpable disregard of the procedural law on bail or gross ignorance thereof, which also amounted to conduct grossly prejudicial to the best interest of the service, renders Judge Marvin B. Mangino administratively liable as recommended by the Office of the Court Administrator. Under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, the Court may impose its authority upon erring judges whose actuations, on their face, would show gross incompetence, ignorance of the law or misconduct.14
A brief survey on the existing jurisprudence on the matter reveals that for similar conduct, less severe penalties were imposed. In Paz v. Tiong,15 this Court imposed upon the respondent judge of the Municipal Trial Court of Bolinao, Pangasinan, a fine of P3,000 for signing the bail bond and the order of release of an accused whose case was pending before the Regional Trial Court of Alaminos, Pangasinan, absent any showing that the judge presiding over the same was unavailable. In Adapon v. Domagtoy,16 this Court fined the respondent judge of the Municipal Circuit Trial Court of Santa Monica-Burgos, Surigao del Norte, in the amount of P10,000 for ordering the release of an accused whose cases were pending before the Municipal Circuit Trial Court of Dapa, Surigao del Norte, notwithstanding the fact, that the accused was neither arrested nor did he surrender to the authorities before the order of release was issued and that the judge having jurisdiction over the cases was not shown to be unavailable. In the more recent case of Panganiban v. Cupin-Tesorero,17 this Court imposed the penalty of fine in the amount of P20,000 on respondent Municipal Circuit Trial Court judge of Silang-Amadeo, Cavite who granted bail and ordered the release of the accused whose case was pending with the Regional Trial Court of Cavite by relying on the representations made by the process server of the latter court that the presiding judge therein was absent.
Under the factual milieu in this case, respondent Judge Marvin B. Mangino deserves a penalty higher than a fine of P5,000 recommended by the Office of the Court Administrator. A fine of P15,000 is in order in light of the ruling of this Court in Panganiban v. Cupin-Tesorero.
It is rather a sad commentary to make that this is not the first time that a complaint involving irregular approval of bail bond and issuance of order of release was brought before this Court.18 Some judges refuse to learn from the lessons of previous rulings of this Court. Indeed, some are difficult to reform. This Court takes this opportunity to once again remind the judges of lower courts of their role as the embodiment of competence, integrity and independence.19 They should always keep in mind that in order to achieve justice, they should diligently ascertain and conscientiously apply the law in relation to the facts of each case they hear and then decide the same, unswayed by partisan interests, public opinion or fear of criticism. The pursuit of excellence must be their guiding principle. This is the least that judges can do to sustain the trust and confidence which the public reposed on them and the institution they represent.20
WHEREFORE, respondent Judge Marvin B. Mangino of the Municipal Trial Court of Tarlac, Tarlac, Branch 1, is hereby found GUILTY of grave misconduct, gross ignorance of the law and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service and is hereby FINED in the amount of Fifteen Thousand (P15,000) Pesos, with a warning that a repetition of the same or commission of similar acts in the future will be dealt with more severely.
SO ORDERED.

n v. Paas, A.M. No. MTJ-99-1206, 22 October 1999.


What did I think I would be doing when I got to this age? Staying home and alone? My reality is so far from this. I have had forceful reminders this month. One of the things I love to do is bring people together. If we can inform, educate, or raise funds for one of our ministries, all the better. At my parish, St. Pius X, I help organize Club 55. We seniors meet three or four times a year for lunch and a short program and our latest get-together was for a Lenten Potluck Lunch. Sr. Janice Peer was our speaker. She did a great job and reflected back to me that we had such a welcoming group. The group invites any parishioner 55 or older and we are seeing new faces at the luncheons. There is a great spirit among us as we build relationships with each other. I am often surprised when parishioners I do not know by name greet me as "Sister." There are relationships here I am not even aware of.
A project I started a few years ago is a once or twice yearly Scrapbooking Fundraiser sometimes called a "Crop." It is something like the old quilting bees. Women bring their supplies and work all day on their crafts. Jill Oblizajek is there with supplies and suggestions and my sister, Lynn, shops all year for items for the raffle. This week Jill called to say that one of our frequent participants, Lisa, had died suddenly and her sister, Carrie, wanted me to know. Lisa and Carrie had also been donors to our raffle. I just knew I needed to visit the funeral home. When I met Carrie, the tears came. We have a relationship, one that allowed her to cry in my presence.
As I age, I sometimes think my ministry diminishes. But, while it's true that I may not lead a classroom, I still extend the mission and ministry of the Sylvania Franciscans in so many ways. As Director of Volunteers, I still meet many people and interact with our volunteers in many ways. I may not have a full time job but I still contribute to the ongoing life of this Franciscan community. As each of us grows older, we continue to use our gifts for the good of the Church. I know our volunteers share their gifts, and continue in their commitment because the Sisters they work with value and respect their contributions. Our volunteer drivers value the time they spend with the Sisters.
Take a moment today and reflect on your circle of influence. How do you bring a peaceful, joyful spirit to your world? What gifts can you celebrate as you build relationships?

Logan Field is about to undergo a metamorphosis that will greatly improve the space for all who use it. New synthetic turf and lighting are expected to add 1,000 hours of available playing time for intramural athletes. The softball field will be oriented more optimally and complemented by a new concession stand, press box, restrooms and a training room. A new two-lane track will encircle the field and allow the track and field team to practice on campus. The field's perimeter will be enhanced with plantings and welcoming pedestrian access points.
"We have taken great care in designing the perimeter and building architecture to relate to the other campus materials and themes," says Steve De Bruhl, project manager in Facilities. "The new campus edges along Cherry and Jefferson will be a welcoming experience. There will be more lighting and graphics to celebrate our academic and athletic passion, on and off the field."
The Commons recently sat down with Eric Guerra, associate athletic director, and Derek Hottell, director of University Recreation, to learn more about the $6 million renovations, which are expected to be completed in time for fall quarter, and how the new field will provide new benefits not only for the athletically inclined, but also for the entire campus community.
The Commons: Eric, let's start with Seattle University's student-athletes-how will they benefit from a renovated Logan Field?
Eric Guerra: Logan Field has always been a very special place, but (in its current form) it has limitations in terms of playability. For our softball team, this is going to be a light-year improvement. I think they'll have one of the best facilities on the West Coast. And for our track team to be able to practice on campus-we're really thrilled that so many more of our student-athletes will not have to travel off-campus anymore for practice. From a well-being and safety standpoint, it's great, and I think it's going to help improve people's familiarity with our track and field program and get them excited about those students and the work they put in.
Knowing what we know of the layout of the space itself, from the point of arrival to the facility to the amenities to the finishes, I think it's going to be a fantastic experience for our student-athletes, for all of our student body, for our fans and our alumni. It's really going to transform campus life.
The Commons: How about in terms of the recreational side of things, Derek-what benefits can we expect?
Derek Hottell: What the field is going to be is the centerpiece of our residential village. It will also greatly enhance the recreational experiences for all students. I think we're going to see a new level of engagement and energy.
In a way, it's really hard to measure (the impact of the new field) because it essentially offers something we don't currently have. Right now, there isn't really an intramural field. The field we have isn't big enough for our intramural sports, so we have to create modified fields for everything. That's not going to be an issue with the new field. You'll be able to play regulation soccer, regulation rugby, regulation lacrosse. It also means our intramural sports programming will be able to go essentially year-round outside and our sports clubs will be able to play on campus. We'll be able to play at night.
The field will also free up the Astro Gym, which is probably the most heavily booked space on campus in the winter. For the entire winter quarter, the gym is used every day of the week, and it's scheduled every hour from the time we open to the time we close. And that's not necessarily because people want to be there; people have to be there because they can't play outside in the winter. But having lights and better drainage on Logan Field, more people will go there rather than the Astro Gym. So the Astro Gym will be free for other uses. That's huge.
The Commons: Eric, you mentioned the fan experience before. How will the renovations come into play there?
Eric Guerra: I think the best way to answer that is to look at Championship Field and what that facility has done for bringing fans out and improving the quality of going to a game there. We've been nationally recognized by U.S. News & World Report for that venue, and I think this softball facility is going to be built in the same vein. We've talked a lot about (Logan Field) mirroring the structural elements and the architectural feel (at Championship Field). It'll be a great place to watch a game in the springtime.
The Commons: Can you talk about the impacts that the renovation will have on campus life over the next few months while construction is underway?
Eric Guerra: Our softball team will be displaced for one month, but they're very willing and very supportive. Obviously, they're very excited about having this new facility and being able to call it home. So they understand and everyone's been very amenable to working through the challenges. The team will be practicing at a field on Beacon Hill and then we have two locations in the city for the remaining home games.
Derek Hottell: As far as intramural sports go, we just adjusted our schedules to accommodate the fact that we won't have the field. So the one thing you'll see is that we don't have intramural softball this spring, but in its place we're going to have Wiffle ball, outdoor volleyball and kickball on the Union Green, and then we'll play a very brief soccer tournament on Championship Field, which actually will be a nice experience for students. The way I look at it, it's temporary pain for permanent gain.
The Commons: Let's say I have no interest in sports, either as a participant or a spectator-is there anything in it for me with these new renovations?
Eric Guerra: I think it's like the (William F. Eisiminger) Fitness Center. In addition to what it provides functionally, there's a sense of aesthetic pride that I think people are going to feel when they walk up the steps, when they arrive at the space, when they step onto the field-or when you're driving down the road and you look upon it. There's programming and quality of athletic venue, to be sure, but wow, the sense of pride we're going to feel just from the aesthetic feel of this field I think is wonderful for our campus.
Derek Hottell: Picture it-you're in Cherry Street (Market). You're having dinner, and you look out on the field and it's lit up with beautiful green turf, there's no mud, and you have two flag football games going on at the same time, or you have people throwing a Frisbee. It's going to have that collegiate feel that you expect on a campus. Or think about how on sunny days, students hang out on the library lawn. The new Logan Field can be that kind of space-people will go out there to eat lunch or read a book or study or just hang out.
Eric Guerra: And there's a patio area. I think Logan Field is going to be a gathering space, and that's exactly how it's been designed. It's intended to be inviting and welcoming, not just for someone playing in an intramural soccer game but for anyone who wants to go and simply be there.
Derek Hottell: Hang out, have a cup of tea-it will be those things and more for the campus community.

The Annual BBC Berry Birthday Show
Music Video, Working With Heroes
The annual BBC 4 "Berry Birthday" showing of the 1972 Stanley Dorman-produced " In Concert- Chuck Berry with Rockin' Horse" makes me realize why the Beeb has never licensed this performance out to general C.D.
Over the 43 years since we did this performance, it has become critically acclaimed as the best Chuck Berry performance on film ( Hail! Hail ! Rock an' Roll, notwithstanding }. This was the last show on an extensive European tour in which the promoter had the foresight to engage me, and my colleagues Billy Kinsley, Jimmy Campbell and Dave Harrison ( three fifths of Rockin' Horse, the studio group}) to be his band on every date, the various T.V. shows included.
As we here hired by the promoter, we never had to deal with Chuck's sometimes confrontational money issues, so we could just glory in playing with him, and a wonderful rapport was the result.
There was never a set list, the keys were arbitrary from show to show, but we were so tight on his ass, that he couldn't shake us.
As soon as he copped that , he started to pop out deep cuts, like "Havana Moon" and " You Never Can Tell" – check, Gotcha ! We stood silent for the live recording of " My ding-a-ling", but I sneaked in some piano licks on the similarly acappela " South Of The Border", which was the follow-up single on Chess.
We developed the long piece, " The Blues" during the tour. I usually sat next to him on the plane, or bus, or whatever, and one time I suggested that maybe I could play a Thelonius Monk type solo on this particular tune, as Monk seemed like the blues to me. Chuck, who was deep into Charlie Christian, gave me the slanted smile and said " Let's do it". That became the instrumental centerpiece as the tour progressed. It was all playing, and we did play.
When he was playing serious, he was killer. We used to do ' A Train" to sound -check, for Heaven's sake !
Al these years later, it still seems like a dream !

You need to write a book on the US sessions & live gigs you were involved in… I loved the last book, but it was 99% British artists & sessions…

Actress Catherine Zeta‑Jones Signs with T‑Mobile International as Global Spokeswoman
T-Mobile International, the wireless subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom (NYSE:DT) today announced that internationally acclaimed Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones will be its global spokeswoman. T-Mobile is one of the world's leading providers of wireless voice, data and messaging services and will be bringing its family of companies together under the T-Mobile global brand name later this year. Those companies include VoiceStream Wireless in the United States and the T-Mobile companies in Germany (former T-D1), the United Kingdom (former One2One), Austria (former Max.Mobil), and the Czech Republic (former RadioMobil). Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile subsidiaries and affiliated companies today provide services to more than 69 million mobile customers worldwide.
Zeta-Jones will bring the new global brand to life by appearing in T-Mobile's worldwide advertising campaign. The campaign will begin this summer in California with the debut of the T-Mobile brand in the United States and will follow shortly in the United Kingdom and the rest of the United States and Europe by the end of the year.
"Catherine's hard work, dedication, and engaging personality have given her strong international appeal as a respected actress who lives life to the fullest – on her own terms – and make her the perfect choice to represent T-Mobile", said Kai Uwe Ricke, CEO of T-Mobile International.
John Stanton, Chairman of VoiceStream and T-Mobile's North American operations said, "Catherine Zeta-Jones is the 'tour de force' to deliver T-Mobile's GET MORE message globally. Catherine's got the right combination of international appeal, intellect, and style and exudes a remarkable attitude of self confidence and reassurance – all the qualities we want the T-Mobile brand to represent in the marketplace."
A self-proclaimed 'technology nut', Zeta-Jones said she was attracted to T-Mobile's 'get more from life' message, because it mirrors the way she uses wireless communications to enhance her own life. "I'm incredibly excited to be working with T-Mobile on a worldwide basis," said Zeta-Jones. "Wireless communications are an integral part of our culture today. The ability to reach someone on a whim to share a story, or a laugh, or a memory is incredibly empowering. As a global company, T-Mobile is the perfect catalyst for that type of spontaneous communication. I'm thrilled to be helping spread the message that people can live more and get more from their daily lives by using T-Mobile's service, just as I do," said Zeta-Jones.
As the only true, global wireless service provider, T-Mobile is uniquely positioned to offer customers the choice of using their same wireless phone and number to stay connected with friends and family when traveling internationally. The company will bring its family of wireless companies together under a single brand name and marketing strategy this year – "Get More with T-Mobile." As the global spokeswoman of T-Mobile, Zeta-Jones will promote the company's GET MORE promise worldwide – that customers around the world will get more value, more features and more service from T-Mobile so they can use the convenience of wireless service to get more from life.
Zeta-Jones began performing professionally as a teenager and has been equally reputed in theatre, television and film. She has quickly become one of Holllywood's most sought-after leading ladies following her breakout performance in 1998's The Mask of Zorro, starring Antonio Banderas. Zeta-Jones won the 1999 European People's Choice Film Award for Best Actress for her work in Entrapment starring opposite Sean Connery and received a Golden Globe Nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the 2000 Academy Award Winning movie Traffic. Zeta-Jones other credits include The Haunting with Liam Neeson in 1999, and America's Sweetheart's in 2001 opposite Julia Roberts, Billy Crystal and John Cusack.
The agreement with Zeta-Jones commences an initial 2-year relationship as T-Mobile's global brand personality.
Based in Bellevue, Wash., T-Mobile USA, Inc. is the U.S. wireless operation of Deutsche Telekom AG. By the end of the first quarter of 2010, approximately 150 million mobile customers were served by the mobile communication segments of the Deutsche Telekom group – 33.7 million by T-Mobile USA – all via a common technology platform based on GSM and UMTS, the world's most widely used digital wireless standards. T-Mobile USA's innovative wireless products and services help empower people to connect to those who matter most. Multiple independent research studies continue to rank T-Mobile among the highest in numerous regions throughout the U.S. in wireless customer care and call quality. For more information, please visit http://www.T-Mobile.com. T-Mobile is a federally registered trademark of Deutsche Telekom AG.

Hello! My name is Phipps. I am a junior at the University of Georgia majoring in German studies. I have dedicated the last 12 years of my life to studying the German language and am extremely passionate about helping others in their quest towards second language acquisition. I am a friendly, outgoing individual who has experienced the difficulties of learning German.
My bilingual upbringing in German and Russian gave me the later opportunity to study and work with different languages. My college education brought me to Germany's oldest Univerity in Heidelberg where I earned my degree in translation studies for Russian,German and English, studying Spanish, French and recently adding Yiddish to my further education.
I base my lessons on basics of the language and focus on creating formulas that students can understand and follow to create German sentences. I believe that vocabulary is the base of the language, and from that comprehension easily follows.
As a tutor, I should project energy and enthusiasm. I would involve my students and let them have an active role in my session. I would have games, role play to keep the learning fun. I would praise them generously whenever they earn it. Timely feedback and chances to improve play important role in motivating a student.
– Business German The ability to understand and write documents in German, to negotiate with representatives of countries with a highly developed economy in their own language, to find new partners in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein - all this is very real, if you thoroughly learn the german language today.

Forget going to an aftermarket firm to have your new Mercedes-Benz S-Class armoured as the German marque itself is working on such a car as we speak and it has just been previewed for the first time.
While an official press release or images of the so-called 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Guard have yet to be revealed, production of the car has commenced and it is promising everything you'd want from such a vehicle.
The car is currently being built across two floors at the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen plant in Germany. It is being produced alongside other 'Guard' models like the E-Class, M-Class and G-Class.
Differentiating the new S-Class Guard from the regular car is evidently its utilisation of armour. It has the VR6/VR7 protection level which means it can withstand a host of military weapons and guns as well as small explosives.
To demonstrate just how strong the new S-Class Guard is, its windscreen is 10 cm thick and weighs 135 kg! Additionally, the doors are lined with steel plates with areas like welding seams and door joints compressed with overlaps or U-profiles to ensure they are as strong as possible.

The International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) established a new Framework for Professional Pronouncements (IFPP) in 2016 at the XXII INCOSAI. The IFPP aims to enhance the clarity and credibility of professional pronouncements and further the use and applicability of the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs) as authoritative standards for public sector auditing.
The IFPP also seeks to provide relevant and practical guidelines for Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) and public sector auditors.
At the center of the framework is ISSAI 100—Fundamental Principles of Public Sector Auditing, with which all pronouncements should be consistent.
Click here for the new framework diagram.
The Strategic Development Plan (SDP) is the new planning instrument containing the required initiatives to transition from the ISSAI framework into the IFPP. The process follows INTOSAI's due process, which establishes procedures for developing, revising and withdrawing pronouncements.
A large number of existing documents will not need substantive changes; they will simply receive a new number and be renamed according to the new classification principles. Others, as indicated on the SDP project list, are undergoing revisions and may be updated or withdrawn to better fit the new framework. New documents are also being developed to fill identified gaps in the framework.
IFPP pronouncements are grouped in three categories: Principles (INTOSAI-P), Standards (ISSAI) and Guidance (GUID).
INTOSAI's founding principles and ISSAIs that establish high-level prerequisites for the proper functioning and professional conduct of SAIs will now be named INTOSAI PRINCIPLES. These principles have overarching significance for the IFPP, thus they are placed at the top of the framework.
The mandatory requirements SAIs and auditors should apply if wishing to claim ISSAI compliance retained the current nomenclature—INTOSAI STANDARDS.
Documents that provide guidance to support SAIs and auditors in enhancing organizational performance, applying standards and understanding a specific subject matter are now grouped into INTOSAI GUIDANCE.
The IFPP also reserved space for a fourth category designated for future development that relates to competency pronouncements (COMPs), which will establish the competencies and professional skills, knowledge, ethics, values and attitudes required by public sector auditors to undertake audits in line with the ISSAIs.
The expected date for most of the migration process is at the end of 2019 when existing pronouncements will only be available in the IFPP format.
Follow the process and learn more about the transition and new framework on the ISSAI website at www.issai.org and on the INTOSAI PSC YouTube channel here.

Akufo-Addo espoused sheer hyprocrisy during Volta tour – NDC
The Volta Regional Secretariat of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and some of his ministers who accompanied him during his two-day working visit to the Volta Region of engaging in "cheap politics."
According to them, the President did not commission any project in the region. He also didn't share his vision for the people of the region, the NDC claimed.
The president "does not have any project to commission, nor did he even cut sod for the commencement of any project. This is very disappointing and quite anti-climatic, to say the least!" the NDC's Volta Regional Secretary, Kafui Agbleze told journalists.
When asked on the Citi Breakfast Show what projects the president has undertaken in the Volta Region, the Volta Regional Minister, Dr. Archibald Letsa said the people of the Volta region are benefiting from the likes of the Free SHS policy but the NDC questions that position, calling it unfortunate.
"So because the people of Volta are benefiting from a national policy that is supposed to be available to every other Ghanaian, the NPP government sees no need to take any policy decision that is tailored specifically to advance the growth of our region?"
The NDC in the Volta Region also said they are disappointed in the President for not Commissioning any 1D1F initiative in the Volta region claiming the NPP has no vision for the region.
"The people of the Volta region thought that, with the planned tour of the president of the region, he would unveil, or, at the very least, mention one factory that has been established in any of the districts in the Volta region. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Neither the president, Nana Akufo Addo, nor any of his accompanying Ministers of state like the Trades and Industry Minister, Allan Kwadwo Kyeremateng, could mention a single project or factory established under the 1D1F here in the Volta region; indeed, there's no shred of evidence anywhere that one has been established" the statement stated.
The Party also accused the president of engaging in partisan politics in senior high and basic schools during his visit to the Volta Region, with the Ghana Education Service conspicuously quiet.
The NDC said it has verifiable evidence that junior and senior high school students were made to carry placards praising President Akufo-Addo under the scorching sun in Akatsi, an act they say is in "total disregard to the directive from the Ghana Education Service".
The NDC also blamed the NPP administration for abandoning projects initiated under the erstwhile Mahama led administration after the president announced at Aflao during his tour that he, unlike the Mahama led administration is bent on continuing projects started by president Mahama.
The NDC, citing several roads and other infrastructure that has "been abandoned" including a modern abattoir that featured in a recent Citi News report, commending the president for continuing some projects started under President Mahama, said President Akufo-Addo places no priority on the people of the Volta Region.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the spirit of nationality and fairness, we commend the president for the continuation of work on the Community Day SHS ( E- Block ) in Ketu South which was started by the Mahama government. It is, however, sad to note that after Nana Addo had prided himself with the continuation of work started by the Mahama government, he made a very revealing statement. He said he will continue projects that need to be continued. Fellow Voltarians, does the president, Nana Akufo Addo mean to tell the people of Tongu, who are competing with animals for water due to the abandoning of the five district water project, that he does not see it worthy to give them clean and quality drinking water?" The NDC said.
Touching on the Government's failure to open the Ho Airport, A former Volta Regional Youth Organizer of the NDC and aide to former minister of transport, Egypt Kudoto said "Having worked with the transport ministry", he knows that none of the funding for the Ho Airport was secured under the Mahama led administration and the failure of the NPP government to commission is only out of a desire to "deny people of the Volta Region their due".
Dzifa Attivor's aide, Egypt Kudoto, insisted that enough feasibility study was conducted before the siting of the Airport in Ho noting that it held the key to the opening of the Volta region to investors and eco-tourists from around the world.
The Deputy Volta Regional communications director of the NDC, Bright Kugbeaadzor, said persons like the current Volta Regional Minister, Dr Archibald Letsa whom, while in opposition condemned the construction of an Airport in Ho "obviously have a reason for not commissioning the Airport".

How much do you know about multiroom installation in Fleetwood? In the old days, setting up your TV involved getting on a roof and fiddling with the aerial while someone inside the house yelled directions about the quality of the signal. Getting the right clarity was an arduous task, and once the aerial settled into position, you still weren't done. Any gust of wind, rain, or even a bird looking for a perch could interfere with your signal. When we made the switch to digital, it seemed like all that drama was done. Digital signals are thought to be stronger, more stable, and more reliable than terrestrial ones.
That said, if you live in Fleetwood, multiroom installation may not be as simple as you'd imagine. You may have solved the problem of tweaking the wires on a roof, but you still have to find the right decoder, or choose between a satellite dish and a set top box. If you're unfamiliar with these devices, you need to work with someone that can give you the right advice. They can tell you the differences between receivers, and recommend the best one for your location and entertainment set-up. In the average home, one of the biggest fights is who gets control of the remote. If you get a multiroom TV system, it's no longer an issue because everyone has their own screen, as well as their own controller.
Multiroom installation in Fleetwood solves the expensive and unnecessary challenge of having more than one set-top box. When you work with an expert like L. Wilson, you will get a customised installation system that can connect to as many TVs or domestic screens as you want, all piggy-backing off the same digital receiver. You may be unsure of the best way to link everything up, but we've been at it for 18 years and we'll walk you through the process. When you'd like a multiroom installation, contact Aerials and Satellite TV. Your household members can each watch their favourite show simultaneously, and your only worry is exactly how many TVs you're willing to buy.


This homemade chicken sauasge recipe makes for an incredibly flavorful breakfast fare.
Making longganisa from scratch isn't as complicated as people think it is. The most difficult part is stuffing your ground meat mixture into casings, but that is easily substituted for other, more easily accessible materials. In the case of this homemade chicken longganisa, wax paper doubles as both casing and protective paper. Using wax paper ensures that the sticky chicken mixture doesn't stick to each other once formed and it also makes the chicken longganisa easily slide from the slick paper once the marination time is done.
The other difficult part may be the forming of the sausages itself. There's a simple solution: Just grease your fingers and hands so that forming the logs are a mess-free situation. Then, it's just a matter of waiting overnight for the sausages to marinate and impart its flavor into well-formed sausages you can easily cook for breakfast that following morning.
Try the recipe and discover if homemade is and can be better than the variants you can buy at the frozen food section.
With a recipe this simple, you'll be making your own preservative-free longganisa from now on.
Make use of the delicious flavor of the garlicky longganisa of Lucban to make these appetizing dishes.
Go beyond breakfast with this well-loved Pinoy sausage.
Which kind of longganisa is your favorite?


I have a new pattern listed in my shop today! It's called Jolly and can be made with fat quarters and fat eighths, or yardage from "the stash".
One of my favorite traditional quilt blocks is called "Sister's Choice" (the pointy one). It has been used in countless quilts in many different variations over the years, and with good reason. It's so fun! If what I've read about it is correct, Sister's Choice was named around 1890 by the Ladies' Art Company, a St. Louis pattern house. The jaunty little nine patches are my favorite part of this variation!
I love quilts where you chop up fat quarters and then get to mix and match prints into piles for blocks, it's one of my favorite parts of the quilting process. I pieced this one with prints from my stash, and had it quilted by Emilee Hathaway with simple straight lines. Thanks again Emilee!
The border, binding, and backing are all from Bonnie and Camille's line Handmade. When I started the quilt it hadn't been released yet, but turned out to be absolutely perfect for this Christmasy project.


I am rooting for a demonstration to the world that the United States justice system works.
Mr. Comey is a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
President Trump's constant attacks on the special counsel, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department over the past two years raised the prospect that he would interfere to stop the special counsel's work. It is deeply concerning that the president of the United States would try to protect himself by torching the institutions of justice. But he hasn't used his authority to end Mr. Mueller's work. (That would have been a crisis of a different order — shutting down the investigation, rather than just trying to undermine its credibility.) So we are in a position to wonder and hope about the report's content.
Wondering is fine. But hoping for a particular answer is not. The rule of law depends upon fair administration of justice, which is rooted in complete and unbiased investigation. We are best served when an investigation finds all relevant facts and illuminates the fullest possible view of the truth.
The Mueller Report Is Coming. Here's What to Expect.
I have no idea whether the special counsel will conclude that Mr. Trump knowingly conspired with the Russians in connection with the 2016 election or that he obstructed justice with the required corrupt intent. I also don't care. I care only that the work be done, well and completely. If it is, justice will have prevailed and core American values will have been protected at a time when so much of our national leadership has abandoned its commitment to truth and the rule of law.
I am rooting for a demonstration to the world — and maybe most of all to our president and his enablers — that the United States has a justice system that works because there are people who believe in it and rise above personal interest and tribalism. That system may reach conclusions they like or it may not, but the apolitical administration of justice is the beating heart of this country. I hope we all get to see that.
The interests of justice will also be best served by maximum transparency about the special counsel's work. I don't know all the considerations that will go into deciding precisely what to say about the completion of that work and when to say it. But because the Department of Justice is guided first and always by the public interest, it should provide details about finished investigations when the public needs to know them, as it traditionally has.
I do have one hope that I should confess. I hope that Mr. Trump is not impeached and removed from office before the end of his term. I don't mean that Congress shouldn't move ahead with the process of impeachment governed by our Constitution, if Congress thinks the provable facts are there. I just hope it doesn't. Because if Mr. Trump were removed from office by Congress, a significant portion of this country would see this as a coup, and it would drive those people farther from the common center of American life, more deeply fracturing our country.
Critics of Mr. Trump should hope for something much harder to distort, or to nurse as a grievance, than an impeachment. We need a resounding election result in 2020, where Americans of all stripes, divided as they may be about important policy issues — immigration, guns, abortion, climate change, regulation, taxes — take a moment from their busy lives to show that they are united by something even more important: the belief that the president of the United States cannot be a chronic liar who repeatedly attacks the rule of law. Then we can get back to policy disagreements.
I just hope we are up to it.
