So Hybrid, did Zimmer first used the church organ here? Or it was the organ from the film? The same goes for the 3rd film.

Today, I was listening to my music on my phone. As I had put it on shuffle, I heard the track ''Do you think I'm a saxon'' from The King Arthur. The track lasts 8:44 minutes. After that, I heard ''Hello Beastie'', my favorite track from POTC Dead Man's Chest. How can I say?... Zimmer has never been that lazy. I believe "Hello Beastie'' is the worst ripoff track ever. Damn it.

You realized just now ??
Actually it's a brilliant piece. It was either temptracked (like many KA cues in POTC 2 & 3) or Hans just wanted to achieve his idea started in KA... :)
Love both versions...
If reused material is a problem, dude, do never ever listen a POTC score again... The genesis of this saga's music is based on that fact !! xD
2014-09-11 09:42:43
I find it more interesting when things are "reused".
It often offers insight on the evolution of the cue, the creative process, and sometimes a clearer listen at the stems. It's a new perspective, and to an aspiring composer and fan, I really appreciate both of those versions.
If you had a musical ear you could tell that many things changed between the two recordings but whatever
Edmund Meinerts
2014-09-11 11:21:28
Reused material is generally not a big problem for me, but I have to admit that this case (over 3 minutes copied and pasted practically verbatim) strikes me as particularly egregious. Yeah, a few things are changed in the orchestration, but still - the architecture of the cue is practically identical. Not one of Zimmer's better moments.
2014-09-11 11:56:53
Or maybe they first used it as temptrack, and then the team (HZ, Verbinski...) thought it fitted the scene so perfectly, and that it would be pointless to try and do something different just for the sake of it. Maybe they tried, and couldn't come up with a cue fitting the scene so well. Don't forget the primary goal of film scoring is to create music to accompany the movie as well as possible.
Cap'n Jack Sparrow
2014-09-11 14:53:38
Or, if I may be so bold here to interject my personal wisdom acquired from 21+ years of piracy, Mr Zimmer may have created a piece to overwrite this one we're writing about, and the afforementioned Mr Verbinski got too attached to the afforementiond temptrack, which many believe to be a King Arthur temptrack, and refused the proper use of the designated music created specially for this purpose.
2014-09-11 17:06:19
I usually don't mind about this kind of thing. Everyone went crazy about ''Safe Now'' from Captain Phillips and ''Hope'' from X-Men DOFP being ripoffs of ''Time'', while I didn't give a damn. It's alright to write something while being inspired by something else. However, copy-paste sucks.
2014-09-11 17:07:48
LOL to the Captain. That was (actually) quite funny.
2014-09-11 17:18:36
Every composer does that from time to time. Howard Shore for example recycled some cues from Hugo for the hobbit.
2014-09-11 18:19:30
@thejoke3rrules This might be because I listen to a lot of film music, but 'Safe Now' completely took me out of the film when I was watching it in the theatre. In fact my overwhelming feeling when I walked out was that it was good film with a very tired-sounding Zimmer-rip off action score. This was without knowing anything about the film or who scored it (I like seeing films blind these days - nice to be surprised!).
The evolution thing I can get, but I think it's legitimate to be distracted if what you hear is clearly just a copy of something else, especially if it's recent. 'Time' to me really sums up Inception, whereas 'Safe Now' just... there's no allusion to that theme beforehand. Henry Jackman is a talented fella. Imagine what he could've done with some more creative freedom.
"Mr Verbinski got too attached to the afforementiond temptrack, which many believe to be a King Arthur temptrack, and refused the proper use of the designated music created specially for this purpose."
I've written music for some (very!) small scale things, and I can tell you from experience it seems that directors, big and small have this problem in spades. There is often nothing worse than being handed a scene with music already applied to it, because immediately your creativity suffers, immediately now you're always subconsciously comparing what you write to the temp, immediately in a way you've been cut out from the discussion.

The only time i have ever actually felt like a theme was recycled and took me out of the movie was 12 years a slave. I was actually very disappointed with the main title theme.
2014-09-13 18:16:43
Yeah I was really disappointed with the score. Given how rich, layered and powerful the film itself is, hearing another version of 'Time' just didn't emotionally connect with me (and was distracting). The best music is the bit where they're on the ship, that was inventive and frightening.
2014-09-13 21:58:43
"Boat Trip to New Orleans". A lot of people said that one was the worst cue, but I loved it as well. It gives you a sense of dread - and therefore does it's job.
Hybrid Soldier
2014-09-13 22:55:40

The only even halfway interesting cue from 12YAS and it's not even by Zimmer. I'm not all that surprised. :p
And Zimson, yeah, there's a bit of Hugo influence in The Hobbit, but Shore definitely did NOT just take an entire 3-minute chunk and reorchestrate it a little. There's a difference between a small influence and the wholesale reuse of an existing piece of music.
2014-09-14 03:15:13

Mr. Fate
2012-12-23 00:53:18
I, too, have often wondered where this cue originated from. The oldest version of it I can find is on the set they call the "Extended Experience". It's the first part of "Kraken Attack on the Edinburgh" (I think), with the second part being a little mix made out of The Kraken Suite.
Along with a few other cues heard on the EE, I cannot find the website these came from. The only thing I have to go on is that these tracks with unknown origins may have come from an earlier version of Magic Box Music's site, which has since been updated and redone. The tracks were already around and gone before I ever even got into the soundtrack.
This track should have a run time of around 0:48-0:55. Davy/Davey: the version you must have found also likely has the Kraken Suite mix included with it.
Hybrid Soldier

That cue came from the film's website, and in terrible quality !

2012-12-24 18:47:45
Thank you, Hybrid,Mike & Mr.Fate. The track " Summon The Kraken " the first 48' second is ok, the middle cue is a fan mix edit and the last 20' seconds " when the kraken crashed the ship " it isn't from the orjinal Kraken end track album, so what about the last cue ?

The first 3 tracks are theme suites. The rest are score cues. :)

How are the individual cues mixed, like, is #11 made from more than one cue or are some tracks just one cue?
2012-10-20 02:46:47
You could just download it from literally anywhere and find out yourself, or you could have someone painstakingly pick apart the score for you. What? Are you afraid that you'll hear something you didn't ever want to hear?
Tracks 1-3 are all suites. Track 4 is two cues mixed to one track but they play consecutively anyway in the film. Track 5 is a combination of two cues (possibly out of order but still within the same part of the film). Track 6 is a mix of a couple cues that all play in the same scene anyway. Track 7 is one cue; track 8 is one cue; track 9 is one cue; track 10 is one cue. Track 11 is really long; it is at least two cues, but possibly more. They all play together as they are heard here anyway.
Does that help?

Does anyone know who specifically composed the unreleased cue in "Summon the Kraken"? (that 45-second bit that starts when Davy Jones has Bootstrap Bill in a choke-hold and says "you will watch this"?) I know it's from a website somewhere, but I'm just really starting to take a liking to it, and it's part of my listener's OCD to be curious as to who specifically composed it. Is it by Hans himself, or one of the Magic Box composers? Anyone have anymore insight?

It is called "Waking the Kraken", and it is written (arranged?) by the Magic Music Box guys. Source: ASCAP.
2011-11-17 14:54:42
Is there any chance that you or someone else could point where this cue originated from? The only existence I can find of it is on the Extended Experience which contains several other cues that have unknown origins to me. The Extended Experience had been out long before I got into this music, and it seems that some of this unknown material has since disappeared from where it originated.
"Summon the Kraken" or "Waking the Kraken" is one of these. Another one is the short cue that comes before Davy Jones plays his organ that is called "James Norrington". The other unreleased cues that were on the Extended Experience were also by Magic Box Music, and they are still available ("Beckett Compass" and "Flying Dutchman Arrival").
2011-11-17 15:41:36
as far as I know, "Waking the Kraken" came from the official PotC-Homepage and "James Norrington" is a DVD-RIP (possibly from a DVD Menu?)
2011-11-17 15:49:54
I have the fanciest version of the DVD release and I've not heard James Norrington anywhere on there. The DVD menu is where a 30 second sample of "Liar's Dice" came from though.
So that homepage is probably long gone by now, right? Oh, I remembered another cue with unknown origins. I don't know what it goes by but it plays when they dig up Davy Jones' chest. It follows the second usage, slightly different version, of "Waking the Kraken".
2011-11-17 21:17:39
yeah that homepage is gone since 2007 i suppose :-)
the other cue, when they're finding the chest is quite clean on the rear chanels of the dvd (as is "James norrington" as far as i remember) and i think the expanded experience reuses the website-"waking the kraken" cue here.
2011-11-17 23:48:18
Yes, it does, even though the orchestration is noticeably different and it has a different ending. You're right--"Waking the Kraken" does get used twice. I'm not up so much for using DVD audio if there is a better source out there. I was just curious to know if the original sources were still in existence and I could snag those cues myself.
I'm glad I was around for the times that Trevor Morris and Geoff Zanelli posted some unreleased stuff because their sites have since been revised and deleted, respectively.

Well, thank you. So, I don't know what cheesy was planning to complain about, but I just wanted to state a realization I had not so very long ago in terms of what we got in this OST. I've probably got way more to say than this; this is just what I am thinking at the moment.
The Jack Sparrow suite is still one of the greatest pieces I've heard since I've gotten into listening to this kind of music (slight exaggeration, but whatever). However, once upon a time, I was disappointed to see how little of it actually gets used. And I also remember when the score was new, how everyone was talking about that awesome new theme for DMC. It turns out a good part of this suite originates from one of Jack's themes from the first movie--sure it does get built on, but nonetheless there are the origins.
And now I can take it a step further: bits and pieces of that suite show up literally everywhere! Sure you have to take a look at all the unreleased music we've gotten as well as some that hasn't even surfaced, but it's all there. Originally, I'd only been listening for stuff that sounded exactly how it does in the suite, but now I see Zimmer and his crew somehow have a way to manipulate an arrangement, motif, theme, or what have you so it sounds almost unrecognizable compared to where it originated from.
Here's a brief list of key tracks that contain fragments of the Jack Sparrow suite: the second half of "Walk the Plank," and "One Last Shot," from PotC1; that Cannibal Island track with the action music from Geoff Zanelli and Wheel of Fortune from PotC2; and from the PotC4 demos: 1m02, 1m03, 1m07, and 2m14.
And there is way more--I started an in-depth analysis of one of the scores but as I've found it's a pretty huge undertaking and I'm not sure I'm ever going to have time to fully delve into the structure of this series' scores and completely understand them. Oh, and it also doesn't help much that I don't have the actual complete scores to work from--just what extra material we've gotten and then some guy's DVD rips.

The POTC scores were one of the few major Remote Control Productions scores I had yet to listen to until recently (and I now realize how much I've been missing out), and now let me just say in terms of this album I'm hopelessly addicted to "The Kraken"...7 minutes of raw, classic Hans Zimmer-style epicness.

Ah, yes the 29-track bootleg score that's been around for ages. Whoever made it used DVD audio from one single rear channel and over-amplified it so it sounds downright awful. This one really sucks, but I suppose its one of the ones that got me started. The Extended Experience, although less complete, is far superior.

That one is tough, cause it borrows a lot from POTC 1.
It does a bit to Blake Neely as only one of his themes from the first film made it to the soundtrack (in One Last Shot).
For Klaus's themes :
"I've Got My Eyes On You" => The opening, from 0:06 to 0:18.
"Tia Dalma" => From 0:00 to 0:24 is another KB theme.
"A Family Affair" => From 1:23 to 1:48.
"Wheel Of Fortune" => One theme between 2:15 & 2:36, another one from 2:44 to 2:55.
For Blake Neely :
"Tia Dalma" => his theme is between 1:33 & 1:48, but all what's after is a rearrangement of a Blake cue from POTC 1.
"You Look Good Jack" => His themes pop up everywhere, from 0:12 to 0:40, from 1:51 to 2:12 & from 2:53 to 3:00... :D
"Hello Beastie" => His "Dead Barbossa" theme from POTC 1 comes back here from 8:07 to 8:40 !
Voilŕ !
Hope this helps to get it in this big mess !! :D

Chemistry Professor Mamie Moy is on a career-long mission to make science fun, and throughout her 56 years at the University of Houston (UH), her determination to encourage students to pursue careers in the physical sciences has never diminished. Her dedication was recently recognized by the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society.
Moy received the ACS Award for Encouraging Women into Careers in the Chemical Sciences during the organization's annual meeting. The award plaque singled out Moy "for limitless passion and dedication for sharing the art of chemistry with teachers and students alike, for always striving to encourage women in the sciences and for courage in promoting diversity."
The award, sponsored by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, includes a $10,000 grant. Moy plans to use the money to hold a mini-conference for girls in grades K-12, as well as female undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students.
Always in search of better ways for students to learn about the physical sciences, Moy's passion for engaging students of all ages has led to numerous innovative science outreach programs over the years. She founded the Science & Mathematics Applied Resources for Teachers Center to train pre-college math and science teachers. As a regional director of the Associated Chemistry Teachers of Texas, she works to improve the quality of chemical education and to help teachers accumulate an arsenal of creative and effective teaching activities. Additionally, her ongoing involvement with the Robert Welch Foundation Summer Scholars program brings bright high school students to UH for hands-on research experiences, and she also finds time to mentor local high school girls through a program sponsored by Texas Executive Women.
Knowing that it's never too early to engage a student's interest in science, Moy also looks for opportunities to impact elementary education, saying that "kids are like sponges – they have fun, they ask questions and you let them find out the answers. It's all about inquiry and discovery." With one of the early programs she orchestrated, "3..2..1...Blastoff," bringing 500 elementary school students to UH, she "focused on underserved communities that had little or no access to science as a whole."
Among her lifetime of honors, Moy earned national recognition for her outstanding contributions to science and the chemistry profession as part of the 2010 class of ACS fellows, one of the field's highest distinctions. In 2008, she was named a "Texas Woman of Distinction" by the American Association of University Women of Texas for work as an advocate and trailblazer for women scientists. In 2003, she received the National Science Teachers Association Distinguished Service to Science Education Award.
Editorial Note: High-resolution photos of Mamie Moy are available to media by contacting Lisa Merkl.

Though the colts are running loose for the Maple Leafs, they should not put Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk out to pasture just yet.
While the forwards were not considered vital parts of the Shanaplan rebuild a couple of years ago, the Brian Burke-era holdovers figured in the first two goals for Toronto in its 7-2 decimation of the Winnipeg Jets in Wednesday's season opener.
Before Auston Matthews had a shot on goal, and prior to William Nylander's insurance marker late in the first period, Bozak and van Riemsdyk were driving the net on Nazem Kadri's opening goal. Soon after, Bozak won a hard draw from the Jets' Mark Scheifele, his efforts paying off by getting the puck to a perfectly positioned JVR for a one-timer. The latter also assisted on Mitch Marner's power-play strike later in the game, while Bozak won 10 of 15 faceoffs to lead all centres in the game.
"We always feel like we can chip in and get off to a good start," Bozak said. "That was nice, because the young guys will be rolling all year."
Bozak can remember a time when he, too, had the rookie asterisk beside his name, a member of the Frat Pack, a youth-infused line from the autumn of 2009, when Ron Wilson was patrolling the bench. He centred fellow NCAA stars Viktor Stalberg and Christian Hanson, which was a novelty in the days the Leafs had few prospects up front to show off.
Now it's Bozak who feels like the village elder, married and a father, dispensing advice. If he and van Riemsdyk keep getting a boost from playing with the creative Marner, that makes the line as vital to the plot as Zach Hyman-Matthews-Nylander and Patrick Marleau-Kadri-Leo Komarov.
"It's only been one game," cautioned Bozak of the scoring outburst. "We have a lot of talent, a lot of guys who can score and our defence moves the puck really well and gets shots through. It's funny, you don't think (Matthews, Marner, etc.) will get any better, but they do. It's pretty cool to see and fun to watch them grow. Exciting times.
"Who knows (whether the Leafs can keep all engines running). I think we just have to take it game by game and hope for the best."
Van Riemsdyk's future is much cloudier. He's 28, three years younger than Bozak, and heading into the last year of a deal most think the Leafs won't extend for big money in order to bank cash to sign the cornerstone kids to future mega-deals.
Yet, JVR continues to produce and, while he's not the team's strongest defensive forward, he has the size and reach to get those passes Marner manages to deliver in opportune areas.
"It makes it hard for other teams when you have the different groupings that we do that can all chip in offensively and all do good things," van Riemsdyk said. "We're comfortable with that and with the different situations in different roles."
After so many years with Bozak as his centre, they also stand a better chance of pulling off the kind of faceoff play that resulted in Wednesday's second goal.
"We always try and do stuff like that and it's great when it works out," Bozak said. "It's a little tougher now with the new rules in the circle, but we'll keep working on that and hopefully more goals will come."
Bozak has learned to control his temper after getting booted from the dot by the linesmen so often in the pre-season schedule and then again vs. the Jets.
"I'm mad at myself sometimes," he said of not getting his feet set within the guidelines. "It's one of those things where you are so used to doing something, you have to do it a different way and in the heat of the moment you forget a little thing and you're gone. But Mitchy came in there and did a good job taking some draws."

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) are pleased to announce that internationally renowned artist and MacArthur Fellow Kerry James Marshall will create an epic, large-scale mural for the Chicago Cultural Center (78 E. Washington St.), honoring 20 women who have shaped the city's vibrant arts and culture landscape. The 132-foot by 100-foot mural will be the largest artwork he has ever designed or created. Work is scheduled to begin today, September 21, and will continue throughout October to coincide with the month-long Public Art Festival—during Chicago's Year of Public Art.
"Chicago is recognized across the country and around the world as an epicenter of innovative art, architecture and design," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "Kerry James Marshall's new mural on the iconic Chicago Cultural Center will be a strong addition to Chicago's public art portfolio and a fitting commemoration of Chicago's Year of Public Art."
The Chicago Cultural Center is the first and most comprehensive free large-municipal cultural venue in the county. Every year, the Chicago Cultural Center, presents hundreds of free international, national, regional and local artists, musicians and performers, providing a showcase where the public can enjoy and learn about the arts. It is currently home to the Chicago Architecture Biennial, which will run through January 7, 2018.
"When I was asked to design a mural for narrow Garland Court, it was immediately clear to me that the site had to be 'opened up' in some way," said Kerry James Marshall. "My solution was a park-like view with a bright sun and stand of trees to bring light and green space to the location while at the same time honoring the mission of the building as the hub of artistic activity in Chicago. My idea was to make of the trees a kind of Forest Rushmore acknowledging the contribution of 20 women who've worked to shape the cultural landscape of the city, past and present."
The mural is funded by Murals of Acceptance, whose goal is to bring art to all people in a free public setting. It will be installed on the building's Garland Court façade, between Washington and Randolph Streets.

Perhaps the food-related question I get asked most through my blog is "What's it like for vegetarians and vegans in China. The same question came up recently on another thread, so I put this together. Hope it's useful. It would also, be great to hear other people's experience and solutions.
For the sake of typing convenience I'm going to conflate 'vegetarians and vegan' into just 'vegetarian' except where strictly relevant.
First a declaration of non-interest. I am very carnivorous, but I have known vegetarians who have passed through China, some staying only a few weeks, others staying for years. Being vegetarian in China is a complicated issue. In some ways, China is probably one of the best countries in which to be vegetarian. In other ways, it is one of the worst.
I spent a couple of years in Gorbachev-era Russia and saw the empty supermarkets and markets. I saw people line up for hours to buy a bit of bread. So, when I first came to China, I kind of expected the same. Instead, the first market I visited astounded me. The place was piled high with food, including around 30 different types of tofu, countless varieties of steamed buns and flat breads and scores of different vegetables, both fresh and preserved, most of which I didn't recognise. And so cheap I could hardly convert into any western currency. If you are able to self-cater then China is heaven for vegetarians. For short term visitors dependent on restaurants or street food, the story is very different.
Despite the perception of a Buddhist tradition (not that strong, actually), very few Chinese are vegetarian and many just do not understand the concept. Explaining in a restaurant that you don't eat meat is no guarantee that you won't be served meat.
Meat is seen in China as a status symbol. If you are rich, you eat more meat. And everyone knows all foreigners are rich, so of course they eat meat! Meat eating is very much on the rise as China gets more rich - even to the extent of worrying many economists, food scientists etc. who fear the demand is pushing up prices and is environmentally dangerous. But that's another issue. Obesity is also more and more of a problem.
Banquet meals as served in large hotels and banquet dedicated restaurants will typically have a lot more meat dishes than a smaller family restaurant. Also, the amount of meat in any dish will be greater in the banquet style places.
Traditional Chinese cooking is/was very vegetable orientated. I still see my neighbours come home from the market with their catch of greenery every morning. However, whereas meat wasn't the central component of dinner, it was used almost as a condiment or seasoning. Your stir fried tofu dish may come with a scattering of ground pork on top, for example. This will not usually be mentioned on the menu. Simple stir fried vegetables are often cooked in lard (pig fat) to 'improve' the flavour.
Another problem is that the Chinese word for meat (肉), when used on its own refers to pork. Other meats are specified, eg (beef) is 牛肉, literally cattle meat. What this means is that when you say you don't eat meat, they often think you mean you don't eat pork (something they do understand from the Chinese Muslim community), so they rush off to the kitchen and cook you up some stir fried chicken! I've actually heard a waitress saying to someone that chicken isn't meat. Also, few Chinese wait staff or cooks seem to know that ham is pig meat. I have also had a waitress argue ferociously with me that the unasked for ham in a dish of egg fried rice wasn't meat.
Also, Chinese restaurant dishes are often given have really flowery, poetic names which tell you nothing of the contents. Chinese speakers have to ask. One dish on my local restaurant menu reads "Maternal Grandmother's Fluttering Fragrance." It is, of course, spicy pork ribs!
Away from the tourist places, where you probably don't want to be eating anyway, very few restaurants will have translations of any sort. Even the best places' translations will be indecipherable. I have been in restaurants where they have supplied an "English menu", but if I didn't know Chinese would have been unable to order anything. It was gibberish.
To go back to Buddhism and Taoism, it is a mistake to assume that genuine followers of either (or more usually a mix of the two) are necessarily vegetarian. Many Chinese Buddhists are not. In fact, the Dalai Lama states in his autobiography that he is not vegetarian. It would be very difficult to survive in Tibet on a vegetarian diet.
There are vegetarian restaurants in many places (although the ones around where I am never seem to last more than six months). In the larger cities such as Beijing and Shanghai they are more easily findable.
Curiously, many of these restaurants make a point of emulating meat dishes. The menu reads like any meat using restaurant, but the "meat" is made from vegetable substitutes (often wheat gluten or konjac based).

Breakfast in India vs Breakfast in our homes outside India
My breakfasts have varied from the time I started to cook for myself instead of just enjoying my Mother's cooking. At first they were a mix-match of meal fixings, or just dinner leftovers. Or the good old breakfast cereal and milk. But as the years passed and I was more organized, the meals I enjoyed in my Mother's home began to swim in my memories. And I began to prepare those for my family. However, I am no amazonian chef, so depending on the hectic nature of the days plans, I switched back and forth from convenience with taste, to elaborate and of course tasty breakfasts. We do have both vegetarian and non vegetarian foods but Indian breakfasts will mostly be vegetarian.
So here are some of the things I might make:
1. Poha as in mostly 'kande pohe'.
2. Cheela/ Pudla
3. Masala toast
4. Indian Omelette
5. Handwo piece
6. Thepla
7. Vaghareli rotli
8. Dhokla chutney
9. Idli sambhar
10. Leftover sabji
11. Muthiya
12. Khakhra
13. Upma
14. Paratha
1. Kande Pohe:
The dish derives its name from Maharashtra where the Kande Pohe are celebrated as breakfast. They can of course like any breakfast, be eaten at any time.
Pohe/ Poha are steamed rice grains that have been beaten flat and then again redried. So they are like Rice flakes. Except they are hand pounded, so have a knobbly texture.
You get several varieties in the market. I prefer the thick white variety.
1 cup dry poha per person
1 medium onion sliced
1/2 jalapeno deseeded
1 sprig curry leaves
2 small garlic cloves
1/4 t cumin seeds
1/2 lemon
1/8 t asafoetida
1/4 t turmeric
small handful of cilantro leaves
1T fresh grated coconut
2 T Peanut oil
salt to taste
sugar to taste
In a pan heat some oil and add cumin seeds. When the seeds sputter, add sliced onions and stir. Saute on medium heat till they turn slightly browned here and there. Do not burn the onions.
Meanwhile wash the Poha in a colander and drain. Do this two or three times to get rid of any dirt and also to allow them to rehydrate. They do not need soaking. Fluff the poha with a fork. Add salt sugar turmeric asafoetida and chopped cilantro. Mix and set aside.
Once the onions are ready add minced garlic and chopped jalapeno along with the curry leaf sprig.
Turn the heat to low and add the poha mixture. Stir to coat and to allow the turmeric and asafoetida to cook. The poha will turn mildly yellow and start giving a wonderful fragrance.
Turn off the heat. Fluff gently and plate. Garnish with fresh grated coconut and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Finger licking good!!
Now when I make this next I will post a picture.
Update: Ok I felt the urge to have Kande Pohe for tonight's dinner. So here is a picture. I am certain to enjoy it for breakfast as well. The measurement of 1 cup poha per person is too much for one meal. But carried over to another meal thats super good! I will also have some stir fried bok choy greens made in the same kadhai after the poha was done, and some cooked and sliced beetroot for salad. My family will add some haldiram sev on the poha for extra crunch! And we will all have some chaas to round off this meal.
2. Cheela/ Pudla
These are essentially crepes but in the Indian style.
1/2 cup sieved garbanzo bean (Besan) flour.
Water to form a thin batter
1T plain yogurt
1/2 t ginger garlic paste
1/4 or less green chili crushed
2 t heated oil *
pinch asafoetida
pinch turmeric
salt to taste
chopped cilantro (two sprigs)
some 'masala' from a readymade pickle
mix the ingredients together except oil. Heat oil in a separate pan and add about 1 to 2 t of the hot oil onto the batter. It will sizzle. Use a whisk to stir thoroughly. The batter should be pouring consistency.
Let the batter soak for about half an hour if possible.
On a hot griddle, pour a ladle full of the batter. Turn the griddle with your wrist to spread the batter around. Cook on moderate to high flame. Flip the crepe when all the sides look like they are ready. You can add a little oil to the sides of the frying pan to make the edges crispy.
In my home we usually have a Besan cheela with some yogurt its a quick and filling breakfast. You can have a small salad or fruit with it to make it more complete. Or fill the center of the cheela with some cottage cheese and fold for added creaminess!
3. Masala Toast :
1 slice of bread (your choice) toasted
1/2 small red onion minced
1 medium roma tomato diced (or whatever you have)
cilantro (few leaves)
1/8 t cumin (optional)
1/4 t chaat masala ( available in stores)
1 inch cube paneer
1 T peanut oil
pinch turmeric (optional)
Heat the oil in a pan and saute the onions. Add the tomato and cook down to mush. Crumble the paneer and add the dry spices. Stir for a few seconds to warm the paneer. Add the cilantro and though I have not written it as an ingredient, I like a few drops of lemon juice. Do not overcook paneer.
I started this topic because someone asked for Indian recipes on the new forum. I don't think they have seen any yet. I hope they find this useful. I am enjoying it.
I will add recipes to the list slowly. I have to however add that after a certain 'age' I have now resorted to having to make sure I have three things for breakfast besides coffee: a glass of water, a small portion of fruit and a small portion of some protein not necessarily meat.

This is one of my daughter favorite dishes, being mild and less spicy she loves this rice dish. Its super easy to make and goes well with most Indian curries.
Do try this out and I am sure you will be happy with the results.
Prep Time : 5 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Serves: 2
1 cup rice(basmati), cooked
1/2 cup coconut, shredded or grated
1 green chili, slit
1 dried red chili
1 1/2 tablespoon oil/ghee(clarified butter)
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 tablespoon chana dal(split chickpeas)
1/2 tablespoon urad dal(split black gram)
1 teaspoon ginger, finely chopped
A pinch of hing (asafoetida)
Few curry leaves
Salt to taste
1) Heat oil/ghee(clarified butter) in a pan in medium flame. I used coconut oil here because it tastes best for this dish.
2) Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, chana dal(split chickpeas), urad dal(split black gram), green chili, dried red chili, ginger and curry leaves. Fry this for 30 seconds in medium flame. The trick is to ensure that these are fried but not burned.
3) Add a pinch of hing(asafoetida) and mix well.
4) Now add the cooked rice and coconut. Stir well for about 15 to 20 seconds and switch off the flame.
5) Finally add salt into this and mix well. You could add peanuts or cashew nuts if you prefer. Goes well with most curries.

Hi everyone! In our last Iron Baker challenge, I was given the task of coming up with a modern take on the retro classic Pineapple Upside-down Cake. For those who missed it the first time around, a picture of my creation can be found here. Now that the first round is over, it's my pleasure to introduce gfron1 as the next baker who will be presented with the new challenge!
gfron1 is a very talented baker who has posted beautiful dessert creations in our Dessert thread. I am a huge fan. Here is a look at what he can do!
So, my challenge to gfron1 is this:
Make a dessert containing an animal ingredient or product other than lard or bacon by October 10th.
I think all of us will be waiting with bated breath for whatever innovative/scary/(and most importantly) tasty combinations you come up with!
(Now we just gotta wait around until he notices this thread and accepts... )
P.S. If you're vegetarian, I can change the challenge.

From the World Health Organization, for World Malaria Day 2012:
World Malaria Day
25 April 2012
In 2010, about 3.3 billion people – almost half of the world's population – were at risk of malaria. Every year, this leads to about 216 million malaria cases and an estimated 655 000 deaths. People living in the poorest countries are the most vulnerable.
World Malaria Day – which was instituted by the World Health Assembly at its 60th session in May 2007 – is a day for recognizing the global effort to provide effective control of malaria. It is an opportunity:
- for countries in the affected regions to learn from each other's experiences and support each other's efforts;
- for new donors to join a global partnership against malaria;
- for research and academic institutions to flag their scientific advances to both experts and general public; and
- for international partners, companies and foundations to showcase their efforts and reflect on how to scale up what has worked.
Related links
Fewer than 700,000 deaths? That's significantly fewer than most reports of more than a million per year — significant progress has been made it fighting malaria. Keep up those efforts, whatever they are.
Watch your news outlets. Will the pro-DDT, anti-Rachel Carson hoaxsters hold sway, or will the facts on fighting malaria, from the malaria fighters, get top billing?

So do we resubmit, or what?
I know we've lost about a month of posts due to the...whatever it was...that's been going on in the Webosphere.
Do we re-submit the recipes that have vanished?
I posted 2 that I made up and I'm really quite proud of, actually, which is why I ask.
Maybe Laura didn't see this? You might want to ask again in this thread (or e-mail her).
As for opinions, I think it is almost certainly possible to restore the missing posts, but I don't know when or if the people who have the necessary access privileges and technical knowledge will have the time to do so. Considering that the recipes are ones you are proud of, perhaps you should resubmit them for now and when/if the old copies reappear, try to remember to delete one of the copies.
Thanks for all your tech help, Kuzu! I have not heard anything definitive about being able to restore, but if you want to resubmit, we can definitely put them through, for now at least.
I too, submitted a question in this forum and it never appeared. Weird!

Life in Space
During their stay on the International Space Station (ISS) astronauts have to continue living and working in an environment that is very different to that here on Earth. They still need to keep clean, go to the bathroom, eat and drink and keep fit and healthy. The conditions of weightlessness on the ISS mean they need to adapt these activities.
The ISS is orbiting 400 kilometres from Earth and everything needs to be taken there from Earth. This means that the astronauts have to conserve resources such as water and food and waste needs to be kept to a minimum.
In this series of video clips, ESA astronaut Frank De Winne and some of his fellow crew members, explain how they live on board the International Space Station. Attached to these video clips (filmed during the OasISS mission) are some short lessons that educators can use in the classroom.
Personal Hygiene
Whether you are at home, school or vacation one thing you will need to do everyday is to look after your personal hygiene. What does this mean? Well, washing yourself, brushing your teeth, using the toilet and even putting on reasonably fresh, clean clothes.
Even on the International Space Station (the ISS), astronauts need to carry out personal hygiene. In such a small space that you have to share with up to 13 people at times, things can become very unpleasant if someone is not taking care of business! Lets start with the hygiene basics:
Why do we have teeth and what do they do? How to take care of our teeth? Why is this important? Write down all the reasons why you think teeth are useful.
Take a mirror and have a good look at your teeth. How many different kinds of teeth can you see and feel? Sharp teeth in the front of your mouth are called incisors. Pointed teeth next to them are called canines and the wider teeth with bumps are called molars.
Count how many teeth you have. Draw a picture of your teeth as you can see from the mirror.
Experiment: effect of fizzy drinks on teeth
If you have a tooth that has fallen out – like a milk tooth – place it in a glass with cola or another fizzy drink you normally would drink. Keep looking at it everyday for a week. What happens to it? Make a picture of the tooth before and after it has been in the drink. Do you know why it changes?
Can you think why it is important to limit how much fizzy drinks you consume? What is in the 'fizz' of the drink that spoils the tooth? Why do we use toothpaste? How often do you need to brush your teeth with toothpaste?
There are about 20-25 teeth in the mouth of most young children.
Brushing teeth is important to prevent tooth decay and bad breath. If you stop brushing teeth your mouth will smell and your teeth will begin to hurt and develop cavities.
Fizzy drinks are acidic which can damage the enamel of the tooth. Brushing your teeth after meals with fluoride toothpaste can help prevent tooth decay and strengthen teeth. It also makes your mouth smell fresh! When you wake up in the morning, one of the first things you do is brush your teeth. Why do you need to do this?
When you eat, some of the sugar in the food stays in your mouth. Bacteria feed on this sugar and make acid. This acid dissolves the enamel of your tooth and can cause tooth decay (cavities) - this hurts (tooth ache)! You need to see a dentist regularly to check this does not happen. Everyone needs to keep their teeth healthy and clean - even astronauts in space - the dentist is very far away if they develop tooth ache!
In Space
Astronauts brush their teeth in the normal way as you do, but there is a difference! In the first video clip, look at how everything 'floats' around. This is because on the ISS there is no weight pulling things downwards like on earth.
The Space Station is orbiting the Earth so fast (28000 kilometres per hour) at the correct speed and direction; it does not fall down to Earth but keeps falling around the Earth. Because it is falling everything inside it is weightless. So everything floats! Even water and toothpaste.
The toothpaste astronauts use can be swallowed after brushing (edible toothpaste) and the mouth is then cleaned with a wet wipe. The astronauts have to brush with their mouth as closed as possible to prevent the toothpaste floating out!
Going to the bathroom on the ISS
So if everything 'floats' in space, then how do you go to the toilet? There is a special toilet on the ISS (situated on the Russian module Zvezsda). There will be another one which will be situated on the American module – as the number of crew on the ISS will go up.
The astronauts have to strap themselves in to prevent floating off. Instead of a flush toilet there is a suction tube which carries the waste away in an air stream down a hole. The solid gets compressed and stored for disposal later. The urine is connected and later recycled. Certainly a strange way to go to the bathroom!
Eating and drinking on the ISS
As well as exercise, nutrition plays an important role in maintaining the health of the astronauts. Food is not just used for providing sufficient number of calories for working but meal times are important social occasions for people so far away from their families and friends.
The food is specially prepared because weightlessness requires adjustments to prevent the food from floating off a plate. Some types of food must also be eaten to counter the effects of adaptation to the space environment.
Astronauts get to choose which meals they would like so long as the nutritional values and calories are kept within the approved requirements: 2800 calories per day. The food trays are prepared on the ground for each astronaut and delivered to the ISS before he/she arrives. These are stored in one of the modules and marked. Red food trays contain foods from Russia and blue trays contain food from the American/European countries. The food has to be specially treated so that it can last a long time and is low in mass.
Space food
There are several types of food that is eaten in space:
- Rehydratable food: Water is removed to make food easier to store. Also known as freeze-drying. On board, water is replaced in the foods before eaten. Items include beverages (tea, coffee, orange juice) and cereals such as oats.
- Thermo stabilised food: heat processed food which can then be stored at room temperature. Most of the fruits and fish (tuna) are prepared in cans with easy pull tabs. Desserts are packaged in plastic cups.
- Irradiated foods: Most of the beef products are cooked and packaged in flexible foil pouches and sterilized by ionising radiation so they can be kept at room temperature.
- Fresh foods: such as apples and bananas – often fresh supplies are brought up by new crews.
- Natural form foods: such as nuts and cookies.
Astronauts use the trays as plates and everything has to be either squeezed out of a tube or bag. Can you imagine what would happen if the drink and crumbs were allowed to escape and floated wherever they wanted? Look at all the electric equipment around… yes, disaster!
It is very expensive to carry all this mass on to the station so everything has to be very light and easily stored.
Experiment: compare browning or spoiling of ripe fruit with a chemical inhibitor and air
Distilled water, apples, bananas, celery sticks and carrots, vitamin C tablets. Small plastic bowl, knife, spoons and paper plates.
When you expose foods such as apples and bananas to air what happens? This browning spoils the food. In space we need to save space and weight of certain fresh foods to avoid waste in peels and cores. The food also has to be packed as one person portions. This can be done by slicing the fruits and vegetable and stopping the air from spoiling them. You are going to see how this can be done with a chemical inhibitor.
1. In 2 small deep bowls add water. Dissolve one vitamin C tablet in one and leave the other as plain water. Label both bowls accordingly.
2. Cut a piece of fruit into six equal slices. Place 2 wedges into each of the two prepared liquids. Make sure they are immersed completely and leave for 10 minutes.
3. Remove each wedge with a spoon and place in separate paper plates.
4. Place the last 2 wedges on a paper plate marked 'untreated'.
5. Repeat with different fruits and vegetables.
6. Let all 3 plates stand for an hour and observe for any browning.
- Which fruit and which vegetable did not turn as brown as the others?
- Can you think of another chemical inhibitor which can be used to preserve fruits and vegetables and is also edible?
- Try to see if the amount of Vitamin C affects the rate at which vegetables and fruit turn brown. How would you do this?
- Those treated with Vitamin C will show less spoiling. This is because Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and inhibits the action of oxygen on foods (the browning effect).
- Sugar, salting, acids (vinegar)..
- Suggestions: Cut up the Vitamin C tablets into halves and quarters and dissolve in the same amount of water as the whole tablet. See if reducing the dosage has any effect.
Exercise and Fitness
The human body evolved on Earth, in a gravity field. Absence of weight leads to health problems such as bone and muscle loss. Weightlessness also makes it harder to do even small tasks.
The astronauts have to anchor themselves firmly, or they would drift away - even using the computer becomes difficult. Space walks can be exhausting and put unusual strain on muscles. This means that astronauts have to take time to exercise and keep themselves fit and healthy to carry out their job on the ISS and to return to Earth in good shape.
On board there is a treadmill and an exercise bicycle (without tyres!). Astronauts have to do at least 2 hours of exercise per day to keep in good shape.
There are also various pulleys and ropes which are similar to a gym on earth where they can do resistance training all which help maintain the condition of their bones and muscles – also very important as when they return back to gravity on Earth their physical condition is maintained as good as possible.

Weight Watchers loss 1.8!
That's almost like 2 pounds. It's a miracle since I almsot ate my way through Disney World again. I love the food there. I love the way it smells, I love the way it looks. Even the bad food. I believe that if I did get down to my goal weight
that I would still be a big old fat girl at heart. It's got to be genetic because I could just eat and eat and eat.
On a totally different subject, I walk every day, at least one mile, around our building at work. It takes three laps to make one mile, and it takes me about 15 minutes to do one mile. Where I work is right next to one of the airport final approach fields (with all of the lights and stuff) so there is a lot of wildlife as it's "business park" + protected land. It gets VERY WILD KINGDOM around there some days. We see all sorts of weird bugs and animals romping about doing their thing on their way to the protected land by the airport. But the last two days I have been seeing something that is sort of weirding me out.
Flattened Frogs.
Now, these frogs are on the walking path. This path isn't a thoroughfare to the parking lot or anything, no one uses it BUT the walkers. So - is someone out there walking and STEPPING on frogs? What a dickheaded thing to do.....if that is the case. I can't understand how else it is happening. I'm not exactly watching the ground like a hawk or anything, but I do notice animals on the path - I have SEEN frogs and managed not to squish them. I don't understand just killing a little frog like that. Or if someone is not doing that, then WHAT is happening to these frogs? Aliens coming down and squshing frogs as some sort of experiment?
Some BIG animal using the path at night for exercise and squishing frogs without regard?
I'm a bit surprised and weirded out by the whole thing.
Perhaps there is a frog disease that causes them to die going around, and they flatness is just normal decay.
It's all very troubling.

Call it winning ugly or call it getting lucky, but whatever you call it, Real Salt Lake will take it, as the defending MLS Cup champions snuck away from Toyota Park with their first-ever win when visiting Chicago.
Robbie Findley scored on a penalty kick in the 40th minute, and the lone goal would hold up to give the visitors the win.
Even getting to the penalty spot was somewhat fortunate. Although there was some contact as veteran defender C.J. Brown put a shoulder into Findley as the forward chased a ball down in the box, it's probably not a play that would routinely earn a penalty kick.
Findley, though, felt that his feet were swept out from under him.
"He clipped my foot and I went down," said the striker, "so I think the ref did the right thing."
Regardless of how he got there, Findley stepped up to the spot and calmly buried the effort in a manner that showed his newfound confidence courtesy of a trip to South Africa for the World Cup.
The goal was Findley's third in his last three games in Major League Soccer. Though the forward also created two scoring chances, he couldn't capitalize on either. The first came before the penalty kick, as he curled a ball around the keeper and onto the post. Later, just before the end of the first half, Findley saw a one-on-one opportunity go to waste, as he waited too long to shoot on goal and missed out on a great chance.
Findley left the pitch in the second half, feeling under the weather. According to RSL head coach Jason Kreis, Findley may be a little bit exhausted still following his World Cup participation.
"Robbie needs a break right now," Kreis told Real Salt Lake's flagship radio station KALL700.
RSL were also fortunate on the defensive end of the ball, as they were the benefactors of two headers that went off the post in the second half that could have given Chicago an equalizer, and perhaps the lead.
One player that definitely doesn't mind the good fortune is goalkeeper Nick Rimando, who pushed his league leading shutout streak to 498 minutes, which include five clean sheets. He was only called on to make two saves on the night, but he did face many nervous moments in the second half as the Fire earned numerous corner kicks.
The hard-fought – and maybe a bit lucky – victory helped RSL to their third road win of the season. Furtheremore, they also pushed their point total to 30 for the season and remain within sight of league-leaders LA Galaxy.

I have always wondered how the Sabbath day was changed to Sunday. As Reformed and Presbyterian, I do worship on Sunday, but have always wanted to know specifics of the change.
Obviously, Sunday was the day of our Lord's resurrection, but I was curious to know your position and specific scripture references to back this up.
I have been asked this question by a Seventh-Day Adventist.
I take it from the way your question is worded that you believe—as Presbyterians always have—that the Fourth Commandment continues to be binding on people in the new covenant age.
But to get the question of "the day" in context, it may be helpful to back up and look briefly at the New Testament basis for believing that to be true. I hope you will also forgive me for making use of a couple of papers I wrote years ago. I have tried to sew them together in a way that will be helpful to you, but if my answer seems "bookish" that is why.
In the Gospels we see our Lord Jesus observing the Sabbath by regularly attending upon synagogue worship. Was our Lord merely accommodating himself to prevailing practices for the sake of his ministry? The Gospels show him frequently making a public break with the "traditions of the fathers" (e.g., Mark 2:23-3:6, 7:1-13, etc.). Christ did not follow all of the man-made regulations by which Jewish tradition governed activity on the Sabbath day. Did he follow Mosaic law as the one "born under the law to save those who were under law" (Galatians 4.4), such that his practice had meaning only under the old covenant but no relevance at all to the pattern of new covenant life? Such a conclusion does not follow and is contradicted by our Lord's own words.
In Mark 2:27,28 our Lord teaches that the Sabbath ordinance extends into the new covenant age. "And he was saying to them, 'The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Consequently, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.'" [New American Standard Version, cf. Matthew 12:8]
Jesus declares himself to be the "Lord of the Sabbath." He does so in response to put the Pharisees who had attacked the conduct of his disciples on the Sabbath (pulling of grains of wheat, rubbing them in their palms, and eating the kernels, while walking through a field—regarded by the rabbis as harvesting and threshing, labor which violates the Sabbath). The real purpose of the Pharisees was to attack the disciples' Teacher.
Jesus' reply makes clear that he is not under the rabbis' authority in this matter; but rather the entire Sabbath ordinance is under his authority. He does this not to say, "I have authority to abolish the Sabbath," but rather, "I have authority to determine its proper observance." "The Sabbath was made for man" does not mean "for man to do whatever he pleases;" it means "for man's blessing." That man might receive the intended blessing our Lord delivers the Sabbath from the perversions of Jewish tradition and asserts his own authority over the day.
How our Lord asserts his authority is important. He claims for himself the Old Testament messianic title, "the Son of Man" (the most common title by which he refers to himself throughout the gospels). The background for his use of this title is found in Daniel 7:13f. which reports a vision God gave Daniel of a divine-human person ("a son of man") who passes through the heavens to receive from the Ancient of Days the eternal and world-wide kingdom of God. The Son of Man is the Savior-King (Messiah) who will appear at the end time to bring about the glorious era of salvation and blessing. Jesus, sent by the Father "at the fullness of time" (Galatians 4:4) is the divine-human Son through whom the Father speaks to us "in these last days" (Hebrews 1:1f.). "Son of Man" is Jesus' royal title in the new age, the age of the new covenant sealed in his blood, the age in which we live. Jesus asserts his authority over the Sabbath as a reality for this age. Far from delivering men from the Sabbath ordinance, Jesus delivers the Sabbath from the clutches of men—in order that its proper observance might lead to blessing for those who become part of his messianic kingdom in this age.
What we learn from Mark 2:27f. is reinforced by Hebrews 4:1-11. We need to examine this passage in the context of the whole book of Hebrews.
Hebrews presents Jesus as the Son of God who surpasses and fulfills all that has gone before in God's previous dealings with his people. The Son is the final Word, surpassing the words of the prophets (1:1-3). He surpasses angels, being the Creator and Lord (1:4-14). Through his suffering Jesus attains and completes the mandate Adam lost (2.5-18). While Moses was a faithful servant in God's house, Jesus is the Son and heir over the house (3:1-18). Finally, he is the high priest whose priestly service and sacrifice of himself fulfill and far surpass the Aaronic priesthood and ceremonies which went before and as types and shadows pointed forward to Christ (4:14-10:18). Thus Jesus mediates the new and final covenant between God and his people, making obsolete the old covenant which he has fulfilled (8:13).
The argument regarding Christ's superiority to Moses in chapter 3 merges into that regarding his superiority to Joshua in chapter 4, tied together by the theme of entering into God's rest. Neither Moses nor Joshua were able to lead the people of God into the promised rest. Because of unbelief God sentenced the generation which left Egypt under Moses to die in the wilderness, His sentence cited in the words of Psalm 95 (Heb. 3:7-11). Although their children did enter Canaan under Joshua, Psalm 95 still urged them to receive God's word with faith so that they might enter God's rest, indicating that Canaan was the type of the still future promised rest with God. Now that Christ has come and has done his saving work, have God's believing people entered the promised rest? We are told that God continues, even now, to hold before his people the promise of entering his rest: "there remains therefore a Sabbath-rest for the people of God" (4:9, using a word coined just for this passage, sabbatismos). Those who believe (4:3), who "consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus Christ" (3:1), who "hold fast our confession firm until the end" (3.14)—these will enter God's rest. But we will enter only after we have completed our labors (4:10f.). Jesus Christ, who is greater than Joshua, will lead us into the promised rest after our appointed time of wilderness testing, for he is already seated at the Father's right hand, having passed through the heavens on our behalf as our great High Priest (4:14f.). Christ has entered his rest of enthroned triumph and majesty (1:3, 8:1; cf. Ephesians 1:20-23, Philippians 2:9-11) with the Father. We follow him to that rest as we "run with patience the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the majesty on high" (12:1,2).
We may now summarize the scheme of Hebrews and see the significance of 4:1-11 for the question of the Sabbath ordinance. God's final revelation has come: his Son. He—the Son—has accomplished salvation as perfect priest and perfect sacrifice for sin. The full experience and joy of that salvation will belong to those who persevere in trusting Christ, looking ahead like the patriarchs of old to the eternal city whose builder and maker is God (11:10, 16). "Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come" (13:12-14). Many of God's ancient promises have now been fulfilled in Christ, and so their types and signs have served their intended purpose and no longer require observance. But the promise of eternal rest with God "remains" before us, so that the weekly Sabbath—the sign of entering God's eternal rest—remains in effect in this age. "There remains a Sabbath-rest for the people of God," does not state that the weekly Sabbath-sign remains an ordinance, but that the promised eternal rest remains before us for future fulfillment. But it follows from this that the sign pointing forward to that rest, the weekly Sabbath, must also still remain in effect until the fulfillment comes.
Therefore, in this age of the new covenant the Fourth Commandment remains in effect under the lordship of Jesus Christ. The Sabbath is indeed "the Lord's Day" (Revelation 1:10). To be sure, Revelation 1:10 merely refers to "the Lord's Day" without defining what is meant. But the expression clearly refers to a specific day which John's readers would know by that name. What other day could it be than the day our Lord rose victorious from the dead, the day on which the new covenant church gathered for worship each week? This leads directly to the next subject.
What we observe so far is the continuity from old covenant to new in the continued authority of the Fourth Commandment. But there is also discontinuity. The new covenant is new! That discontinuity appears in two ways, which we'll look at in the next two weeks.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Over 150 activists attended a demonstration outside the notorious Ramleh prison hospital in solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners inside, including long-term hunger striker Samer Issawi. Coming from all over the 48 territories and Jerusalem, the activists chanted and sang in support of the prisoners in front of the prison gates for several hours.
The demonstration comes amidst growing international concern for Issawi's life as he goes past his 195th day without food, on hunger strike over his un-just imprisonment. He has been imprisoned, in solitary confinement with sound-proof doors, without charge since July 7th 2012.
Soldiers were alerted to the presence of the demonstrators almost immediately, with tear gas canisters and a skunk canon made available as activist numbers began to swell.
The strong military presence did not deter the crowd, which boasted a large contingent of children several of whom regularly sparked and led the chanting.
"Samer, Samer don't you quit!" the crowd chanted repeatedly in Arabic, "Greetings, high greetings for the empty stomachs!"
"Israel has over 4,000 political prisoners, women, children and men, many of them without any charge," one activist from Haifa stated. "This demonstration is for all of them".
Ramleh prison is regarded as one of Israel's highest security prisons. Last year, a similar demonstration was violently removed by Israeli police and security forces, with several arrests and several people injured.
"Yes we were scared about coming to Ramleh prison again," Mahasin Salah, an activist at the demonstration said. "But the victory will not happen if we don't continue resistance. We don't forget [any] of Palestine, and for all of Palestine we have to release all the prisoners."
The demonstration this year did not break into violence but, according to Mahasin, the effect it had in the international media was just as strong.
Samer, along with the thousands of other Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, will continue their plight against the injustice inflicted upon them. Demonstrations support and sustain their efforts, and help display to the world the absence of justice a Palestinian prisoner receives at the hands of an occupying regime.

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce Monday just 72 days after tying the knot with Kris Humphries in a lavish ceremony that was taped for her reality show.
"I've spoken to her briefly and she says she's sad and got caught up in all that was going on," Ryan Seacreast, who produces her show, said on his KIIS-FM radio program Monday morning.
Kardashian, 31, lists the date of separation as today, Oct. 31, 2011, and cites the usual "irreconcilable differences," according to her Los Angeles Superior Court filing.
She also says the couple has a prenuptial agreement and she doesn't want to pay spousal support to Humphries.
