This is indeed hummus but like you've never seen it before. Whilst it retains all the classic hummus components such as chickpeas and tahini, this recipe goes a step further and adds an Italian twist to a classic Middle Eastern dish.
By adding mozzarella, tomato and parmesan, this recipe combines classic pizza flavours with hummus to create the perfect cross continental starter. The accompanying pesto flat-bread is incredibly simple to make and gives the perfect base to smear your dip all over.
What You'll Need:
- 1 Pizza base
- Fresh Pesto
- Parmesan, grated
- Basil leaves, a handful
- 2 balls of Mozzarella
- 3 tins of chickpeas, drained
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 heaped tbsp tahini paste
- Salt
- Sugar
- Olive Oil
- 2 tbsps tomato puree
- 1 tsp oregano
- Tomatoes, a handful
- 1 tbsp pine nuts
How You Make It:
- Slice up your tomatoes. Pop them on a baking tray then sprinkle over salt, sugar and a grating of parmesan. Bake in an oven for 25 minutes at 180ºC/350ºF or until nicely dark and caramely. Chop them up and add a tbsp shredded basil, a tbsp pine nuts and 1 tbsp olive oil. Set aside while you make your houmous.
- Place the following in a food processor; 1 ball of mozzarella, 8 basil leaves, 2 tbsp olive oil, tahini, oregano, a handful of parmesan, garlic, tomato puree and chickpeas. Whizz until smooth.
- Pop into an ovenproof dish. Top with your tomato paste and another ball of mozzarella, torn into pieces.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 200ºC/400ºF.
- As your humous goes in the oven, pop pesto all over a pizza base and grate over some parmesan. Shove it in the oven with your humous. Bring out at the same time.
- Get involved.

my quicktime player on snow leopard wont play my avi movies
- Asked by Tom T from Alpine
- Flag as inappropriate (my quicktime player on snow leopard wont play my avi movies)
1 Answer from the Community
You may need to download Flip4Mac which adds the Microsoft codecs to Quicktime. The player capability is free, but you can also pay (around US$30 I think) to get the encode capability to create .avi and .wmv files etc, amongst other capabilities.
Download from the telestream dot net website or the microsoft dot com website. Microsoft also have a Silverlight plugin for browsers so you can view their proprietary media-rich web display protocol.
Good luck, I hope this helps.

It's a little barbaric, but here's why we agree with Uma Bharti's stance on torturing rapists
It's time we made rapists pay for their sins.
How many times have you wished for a rapist or a molester to be punished in such a way that he never dares to even look at another woman? A punishment so severe that it would make a person think twice before violating a woman's person space? If you said innumerable times, then you would be happy with what Uma Bharti has said.
During a political rally in Agra recently, the Water Resources Minister, said: "Rapists should be tortured in front of victims until they beg for forgiveness."
While giving a reference of the infamous Bulandshahr rape case, where a mother and her daughter were gang-raped, she said that the Uttar Pradesh government had failed to give the victims justice.
"The rapists should be hung upside down and beaten till their skin comes off. Salt and chilli should be rubbed on their wounds until they scream. Mothers and sisters should watch so they can get closure," the BBC quotes her saying.
Bharti also went on to say that when she was chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, she took the same attitude.
"I would tell the cops to hang the rapists upside down and beat them so hard that they would cry out. I would tell women to watch through windows of the police station. When a policeman objected, I told him people who behave like danav cannot have human rights. Their heads should be cut off like Ravana's," she added.
While it seems a little too inhumane, we agree with what the minister is saying. At a time when our political leaders have tried to justify acts of violence against women, it is important to have deterrence.
Politicians have made statements like "boys will be boys and mistakes happen", some have even compared women to cars and said that they should be parked at home to avoid being molested. Leaders like Abu Azmi have time and again blamed the western culture and women's clothes behind incidents of molestation and rape.
Also read: Andhra assembly speaker compares women to cars, says they should be parked at home to avoid rapes
But, here is a leader, who is not only a woman but also understands that since law is clearly not strict enough, maybe it's time for some vigilante justice. We are not disagreeing to the fact that she could have talked about more concrete measures for women safety--or made sure that they are implemented--but maybe it's time that we resorted to an eye for an eye.
Because let's be honest, we don't need more Nirbhayas, and we definitely don't need cases like Bengaluru mass molestation cases. We also don't need false promises and shoddy implementations of laws. We need action--pronto.

Bengaluru, Oct 13: Delhi Dynamos manager Gianluca Zambrotta has made a shocking claim that he would bring superstar striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Indian Super League.
Full schedule of ISL 2016; Full list of squads for ISL 2016
In an exclusive interview with The Indian Express, the former Italian defender said that there is a big possibility that the Swedish striker might come to India once he retires from European football.
Zambrotta said: "Given his fan following in India, I think Zlatan would want to come and end his career here. On my end, I will definitely try and convince him to play for Delhi Dynamos."
The Dynamos manager had played alongside Zlatan at AC Milan and shares a very good relationship with the forward.
He took charge of the Delhi Dynamos side this side after hearing positive things about the team and league from former Italian teammate Alessandro Del Piero. Del Piero was Delhi's marquee player in Season 1.
Zambrotta added: "Del Piero told me good things about the club and their sincerity towards football, which convinced me that it is the perfect opportunity for me."
Delhi Dynamos have started their ISL 2016 campaign on a high by winning the first game and managing a draw in the second match.
The Italian has a very strong outfit at his disposal and they would aim to lift the championship this time after missing out by a whisker last time.
They were eliminated from the semi-finals conceding a defeat to FC Goa.

Unanswered: Informix database does not comes online
Dear all,
We are facing an issue with our Informix server database. THe database is not coming online. Below is the error shown on the screen.
shared memory not initialized for informixserver " databasename".
We are facing this error after changing its IP address. we have even reverted the IP address to the old IP address now. Even after doing this, restarted the server but still the database gives the same above error.
We have checked the oninit -v , where all results complete successfully.
Please provide your best advice on how to solve this on urgent basis.

Maybe I'm one of only a few who was surprised that Conor McGregor was included on the Rolling Stone '25 Hottest Sex Symbols of 2015' list, but I think the last person you would ever find in that camp would be... Conor McGregor.
The man buys expensive guns, he buys expensive watches, he buys expensive cars, he buys expensive suits... and overall, he stunts. He's undeniably got a great physique and many people want to be him - or want to sleep with him.
Depending on whom you ask, the 27-year-old McGregor is either an overhyped loudmouth or the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world – though if you ask him, chances are, he'll say the latter. Very loudly. Regardless, after his record-setting 13 second KO of Jose Aldo at UFC 194, there's no denying that the brash, brawling Irishman is currently the biggest star in mixed martial arts (sorry, Ronda); and now, he's got Aldo's Featherweight Championship, too. And while his accomplishments inside the Octagon are impressive, his flashy excesses outside of it make him legendary. Dropping half-a-million dollars on a pair of cars? Check. Debating the merits of purchasing a chimp as a mascot? Yep. Sparring with – the summarily talking shit about – Game of Thrones' massive Mountain? You know it. In 2016, he says he's going to move up a weight class in the hopes of claiming another belt, meaning that if you're sick of him now, you're shit outta luck; King Conor's reign is just beginning. JM
McGregor joined the likes of Trevor Noah, Kylie Jenner, Daisy Ridley, Amy Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and more....
Pretty good company to keep.

Ring in the New Year!
We know you're a busy bee. With all the holiday shopping, cookie baking, and parties, you've had zero time to think about the Big Night. And, by Big Night, we mean New Year's Eve. Here are just a few of the best and brightest nightlife offerings in and around Boston. Some of these events will sell out — call in advance.
Countdown to the '80s
Throw on your puffy prom dress and neon suit to ring in the new year '80s-style at the Sheraton Copley Hotel's Constitution Ballroom. Rock along as Cherrie Bomb plays the decade's greatest hits.

4 Day Baja Mexico Cruise
Long Beach Travel Blog› entry 1 of 5 › view all entries
So my second cruise was unfortunately to be shorter than my first, but due to time and budget constraints, it would have to do. Our trip got off to a less than smooth start when the bus driver at LAX left us standing there at the door of the bus. Apparently, he didn't want the woman behind us on the bus and we got left behind with her. Perfect! Really, it wasn't that bad, but Koby got all worked up over it.
The next bus came about a half an hour later, and we were on our way to Long Beach. The bus ride was long, but for 2 bucks I wont complain. We were staying at the Queen Mary for the night and were looking forward to seeing an old time cruise ship. Apparently, people back in the day were very short! The sinks and dressers were like knee height and the ceilings were quite low. I felt like a giant. The ship seemed deserted for some reason. I don't know why there were people around, but it just felt lifeless. Still an interesting experience and worth it because the next morning we could just walk over to the Carnival Paradise!

Published: Tuesday 14th October 2014 by The News Editor
A "significant" use of weapons by inmates of a prison for teenage boys has been discovered by inspectors who have warned violence at the jail is "high and rising".
Some 35 weapons were found in a recent lockdown search at Cookham Wood, a youth offenders institution in Kent, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) said.
Inspectors said during the six months before the inspection, 169 acts of violence were recorded, compared to 130 at the previous inspection with 103 recorded as assaults and 66 as fights between boys.
Cookham Wood, which holds sentenced and remanded boys aged 15 to 18-years-old, was operating on a restricted regime at the time of inspection due to staff shortages.
Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "Reading this report, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that it is now government policy to put children in danger and to create an environment where violence is festering.
"Cuts have pushed the prison system to breaking point.
"Staff shortages at Cookham Wood have led to a restricted regime, where some children are locked in their cells for 22 hours a day, staff are reliant on violence to control children and assaults and serious injuries have become the norm.
"The serious concerns identified by inspectors are common to most other prisons.
However, this report shows that ill-thought government policies mean that the prison system cannot keep children safe. This is a new low."
Serious injuries following fights and assaults were not uncommon, the inspectors said.
HMIP watched more than a dozen videos of incidents which revealed the use of weapons, attacks on individuals by multiple assailants and "reckless" behaviour by boys, including kicking and head stamping.
Chief inspector of prisons Nick Hardwick said: " We inspected Cookham Wood at a tough and challenging time.
"A new governor had recently been appointed and there had been significant loss of staff, not all of whom had been replaced."
He added: "Outcomes had suffered but the institution was sighted and there was evidence that issues were beginning to be gripped, so there remains every reason for optimism about the outlook at Cookham Wood.
"However, risks remain and the need to recruit suitable new staff is fundamental to the future success of the prison."
Michael Spurr, chief executive officer of the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), said: "The Governor is actively tackling violence within the prison.
"Staff are being provided with additional training in behaviour management and all serious incidents are being referred to the police. Use of force has reduced and we are actively recruiting new staff to fill vacancies."

Global Warming: A Threat To Humanity (And All Living Beings), By Carolyn Baker
Living with life, as well as death in mind, means that we revel in beauty and joy. We create beauty, and we drink it in, in the form of art, music, poetry, and story. In addition, our hospice condition compels us to fall back in love with the Earth, or perhaps fall in love with it for the very first time. I use the term "Earth eroticism"to capture the delirious enchantment we must experience as we reconnect with this planet in the very moments when it and we are dying.

Maybe you're single, walking down the street and you see a couple holding hands and laughing and smiling and in that instant you reach out to that couple, yearning to have what they have, in essence to be who they are. You may also be feeling lonely, and see a group of people socialising, again laughing and smiling and you wish you had this too; you wish you were them in that moment.
For some people these are momentary fleeting thoughts, that go as quickly as they come, nothing earth-shattering to them, but then there are others who because of low self worth carry that thought into deep impenetrable yearning and this is where it can get tricky, as feelings go.
We may spend a lot of time yearning to be like that which we perceive other people to be, in love, more popular, more confident, more wealthy... the list goes on. But there comes a time in a person's life when the overriding desire to be someone else flips around.
Why not desire to be who you are?
What's so wrong with your own self?
Can you 'own' your life and your journey?
Do you want to?
Are you willing and prepared to desire YOU?
We spend way too much time seeking out the 'other' to feel better about who we are, the other person, the other dream, the other event, the other physical beauty, that we forget to realise that life, God, the Universe, whatever label you give to creation, created you! So the you who you want not to be, was created with all the personality quirks and flaws, all the gifts and talents and all the shyness, all the sadness and all the joy, all of which was meant to be experienced by you in your life.
Life actually imagined you into being so it could experience your unique views, your unique feelings, your unique appearance, your unique everything!
You may think life did a shoddy job at creating 'YOU' but life never makes a mistake. You were never a mistake and as someone shared with me recently:
'God doesn't make junk!'

The Protection Of Emily Palmer
Chapter # 1
Summery: Jimmy Palmer's Mother witnesses the murder of a Petty Officer and the team offers her protection.
Warning: Mild violence, a couple bad words. Reference to the spanking of a minor in the past, way past.
Duck and Palmer were performing an autopsy on a Marine that had died in a car crash, for once, foul play was not suspected.
"Dr. Mallard." The younger man said.
"Yes Mr. Palmer."
"My Mother's coming for a visit tomorrow and staying for the weekend. Can I have tomorrow off?"
"As far as I'm concerned you can, my boy. But Jethro has the final say in that matter, you will have to ask him."
Palmer's smile vanished. He didn't want to tell Gibbs, Gibbs scared the hell out of him. "c…can you ask him for me?"
Ducky smiled. "Of course, my boy."
"Thank you." He sighed in relief.
Gibbs was sitting at his desk, doing paperwork, when he saw Ducky walk to his desk.
"Hello Jethro, may I have a word with you?"
"Sure, what's on your mind?"
"Mr. Palmer."
"What did he do this time?"
Ducky smiled and answered. "Nothing, he wanted me to ask if he could have tomorrow off. His Mother is visiting."
"Can you handle things without him?"
"Of course."
"I don't care, but tell him to keep his phone on."
"I will."
"Why didn't he ask me?" Gibbs wanted to know.
"Because you terrify the poor boy."
Gibbs smirked at that. He didn't really mean to scare the kid, he just had that effect on him.
The next day, Jimmy Palmer ushered his Mom through the busy airport.
"You look too thin, Jimmy." The woman fussed as they walked. "Have you been eating properly?"
"Yes I have, Mom."
"A boy your age need proper nutrition."
"Mom, I am a Med student. I know about proper nutrition."
"You are training to be medical examiner, nutrition is not an important factor in your patients."
"Yes it is, sometimes it explains why they are dead."
"Then you should be more cautious about your own health."
Jimmy sighed, he didn't why he was auguring. He knew he would never win an argument with his Mom.
"I will pay more attention to my diet, Mom."
"That's my good boy."
Emily Palmer was in her middle fifties, with grey hair that still had a few patches of brown. She was short, coming to just below Jimmy's shoulders. She was not an imposing figure to look at, but the young man knew that looks were deceiving. He had seen her when she was mad, it was not a pretty sight.
They made it to the parking garage and to his car. He opened the door for his Mom, then Jimmy loaded her bags into the trunk.
"I'm glad you have the whole weekend off." Mrs. Palmer said, once her son was in the car.
"Me too Mom, but remember, if something comes up I have to go in."
"Surly, the NCIS can go one weekend without finding a dead body."
Jimmy smiled and said, "Certain members of the NCIS can find trouble inside a Church Social."
"Like the Agent Gibbs you told me about?"
"Yes Ma'am." The smile widened. "Agent Gibbs and his team has a habit of finding danger."
"They don't put you in danger, do they?" she asked with alarm. "They better not put my baby boy in danger."
"Mom" Jimmy sighed "I am not a baby, or a boy."
"You will always be my baby boy, now answer the question."
"I am not put in danger. I only help after the crime has been committed."
"Good, I was about to go to Agent Gibbs and give him a piece of my mind."
Jimmy almost laughed out loud at that comment. He wasn't sure who would win in that exchange.
At the NCIS, McGee hung up his phone and looked across the room to where Gibbs was sitting.
"Boss, just got a call from the Navy Base, a young Petty Officer named Henry Greene is missing. He hasn't been seen in three days."
"And they're just now reporting it?" Gibbs asked.
"He was on leave, he was supposed to be back at o five hundred this morning."
"DiNozzo, David with me. McGee find out everything about the Petty Officer."
They scrambled to follow the orders.
Gibbs' car screeched to a halt and the two passengers were grateful that the car had finally stopped.
"NCIS?" a Marine asked as he walked over to them.
"Special Agent Gibbs." The older man said. "Special agent DiNozzo and Officer David."
"Thank you for coming, we are worried about Hank."
"Is being AWOL unusual for Petty Officer Greene?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes, he's a good man. Going to make a damn good Marine. He's always on time, does his duties without complaint, and has never had even an argument with anyone on base."
"What about his personal life?" Tony asked.
"I couldn't tell you anything about that, Sir. Hank was not a talkative person about anything outside the base. He was friendly enough, but kinda private."
"We need to see his rack, locker, and interview anyone who worked with him." Gibbs said.
"Of course, Sir."
Jimmy and his Mom walked out of the supermarket, Jimmy pushing a loaded cart. After finding very little food in her son's apartment, Mrs. Palmer insisted on going shopping.
"I knew you weren't talking car of yourself, young man." The woman was saying. "Tv dinners and junk food is not good for you."
"I know Mom." Jimmy sighed. He had been being lectured for the past hour. "But like I said, my schedule does not leave me much time to cook proper meals."
"That is not acceptable. I will have a talk with your boss and…."
"Mom, no." Jimmy paled. "I am a grown man…."
"And I am your Mother."
They made it to the car and Jimmy was loading the bags.
"Oh dear." Mrs. Palmer said, looking at the receipt.
"What's wrong?"
"That dear girl at the register made a mistake. She gave me a dollar thirty five too much change. Be a good boy and take it back in to her."
"Mom, it' only….." one look at her face and he shut up. "Yes Ma'am."
He finished loading the bags, then jogged back across the parking lot to store. Mrs. Palmer was about to get into the car, when she heard someone shouting. The sounds were coming from a nearby ally.
She walked to the ally and looked down it, gasping at what she saw. Two men were standing above a third one who was laying on the ground. One of the standing men had a gun aimed at the man on the ground.
Mrs. Palmer yelled in fear and surprise when the gun fired. The two men looked at her and both aimed guns at her.
Hope you like it. Chapter two will come soon. It will be longer, I promise.
Let me know what you think.

Is there a particular skill or area of study you're hoping to improve on this summer? Our one-week Essentials Courses are the perfect way to supplement your abilities. These courses are primarily enrichment focused: students study a particular subject of interest for 2.5 hours from Monday – Thursday at camp (2:30 – 5:00 p.m.). Students may also focus on a particular task or project from school—past students have used our essay writing class, for instance, to work through their personal statement drafts for college applications.
Why 4 Star Academics?
- Project-based learning – we believe students perform best when they build things
- Experience college life on a real college campus
- Take courses from UVA phd candidates, graduate students, secondary teachers, and practicing professionals
- Fun evening activities and weekend trips
- Personalized academic evaluation
- 24-hour staff supervision
- Family-owned and operated
In addition to an Essentials Course, students participate in a morning activity of their choice (sports, Academy Courses, or Test Prep programming) before lunch each day. 4 Star Camps reserves the right to limit enrollment and/or cancel any class if there is overwhelming or insufficient registration. Course plans are subject to change.
Art Design
Our Studio Art program is a popular option among campers. It is designed for students of any art background. Here you can discover your talents, learn new techniques and skills, and discover your own inner artist! The daily projects and focuses will vary each week, but can include drawing, ceramics, sculpting and painting. Get ready to get messy in the art studio! Laptop recommended.
1 Week Sessions –July 9-14, July 23-28
Creative Writing
William Faulkner. Edgar Allan Poe. Gertrude Stein. Wander long enough on UVA's Grounds and you'll find yourself talking shop with one of the great writers of the world. In this one-week seminar we'll work together as a small group to hone your craft, reading student work alongside published short fiction and poetry. Open to both poets and prose writers. Laptop recommended.
1 Week Sessions –July 9-14, July 23-28
Critical Reading
From the SAT to college and beyond, critical reading has never mattered more. In a 2013 survey, 93 percent of business and nonprofit leaders said that the ability to think critically was more important than undergraduate major. In this class, students will investigate the University of Virginia as a site of complicated and contested histories. Course texts may include poetry from former student Edgar Allan Poe, archeological studies of the Rotunda, and a visit to the UVA Confederate Cemetery. Students will practice close reading, evidence analysis, writing in context, discussing assumptions, identifying claims, and more.
1 Week Sessions – July 2-7, July 9-14, July 16-21, July 23-28
Essay Writing
Led by graduate instructors at UVA (the same educators who teach first year writing at the university), this is a crash course in college level essay writing. The class is built around a specific theme—past examples include climate change, food writing, or travel—and will challenge students' ability to craft nuanced arguments, manipulate complex evidence sets, and acknowledge and respond to potential objections. Key questions in the course include: What makes a great argument? How do I translate my passion to the page? And why does academic argument function as a conversation? Laptop required.
1 Week Sessions – July 2-7, July 9-14, July 16-21, July 23-28
In our photography program you will have fun learning not only how to compose pictures and use light effectively, but also how to use the basic functions of the camera to process, store, edit, and retrieve your images. You will learn the styles of famous photographers, and have many exciting projects and assignments. Campers must bring a digital camera with computer transfer cords, and a laptop to use in class.
1 Week Sessions – July 2-7, July 16-21
Need help with a particular subject? We'd be happy to connect your student with a private tutor during their stay on Grounds. We have relationships with many university departments, and can locate an expert educator to meet most needs.
1 Week Sessions – July 2-7, July 9-14, July 16-21, July 24-28
TOEFL Prep
The TOEFL exam can be a challenging barrier to entry for international students looking to join the U.S. college system. Our instructors can get you through it.
1 Week Sessions – July 2-7, July 9-14, July 16-21, July 24-28

Soon after the end of Ramadan, at a time when Muslim families celebrate the end of a month of fasting, Brazilian police conducted a raid on the home of a dual nationality French-Algerian scientist in Rio, just after he had finished a video conference on his specialisation in particle physics, the phenomenon of Meson decay. The same day, 15th July 2016, he was driven to the airport and deported to France, where he remains subject to a control order.
This lack of attention on the plight of the Algerian Muslim scientist Adlène Hicheur is a frequent feature in the so-called 'War on Terror', where due process of law is waived aside when it comes to dealing with any 'suspect' Muslims – repressive measures become the first recourse. Muslim advocacy and human rights bodies have a responsibility to ensure the matter is not forgotten, so that a miscarriage of justice and an illegal extradition can be put right, with French authorities brought to account.
As documented by Shoban Saxena and Florence Costa in thewire.in, 'In 2009, while working at the world famous European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN), he [Adlène Hicheur] was arrested by the French police [2009] and charged with "criminal association with a terrorist group" (Al Qaeda in Maghreb). He spent 30 months in jail. It's also public knowledge that he was tried for "associating" with an Al Qaeda man in Algeria through emails and web chats for "attacks in France". Hicheur's response is well known too: his participation in chats covered many international issues and he never planned any terrorist attack. It's also not a secret that in May 2012, after 949 days in prison, Hicheur was released.'
With the help of research colleagues, he then found employment at the Brazilian Centre for Physics Research (BCPR) and later at the Federal University of Rio de Janerio. The science journalist Declan Butler writing in Nature on Hicheur (Vol. 357, 15 September 2016) quotes Ignacio Beidagia, head of BCPR, stating 'In my opinion, Dr Hicheur was illegally extradited at the request of the French government'. Declan Butler adds, 'In an interview with the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, justice minister Alexandre de Moraes said Hicheur had not communicated with terrorist groups, or committee any crime while in Brazil . . . at the airport, Hicheur repeatedly requested that he be sent back to Algeria (the nationality on his Brazilian work visa) or anywhere other than France, fearing that he would be confined under the state-of-emergency laws'.
This was a legitimate fear: since his return Hicheur has been under house arrest, and required to report to police three times a day and cannot leave home between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
While at CERN, Hicheur worked on the Large Hadron Collider 'Beauty' project, also known in the particle physics world as LHCb. He was on a video link with CERN collaborators when the Brazilian police knocked at his door on 15th July.
Declan Butler's words in Nature should be a rallying call for activists:
. . . if an intelligent and articulate individual such as Hicheur (a Muslim) with a bevy of support from his scientific colleagues can find himself helpless, what then of the many others with much less capacity to defend themselves? Fairness, freedom, the rule of law and human rights – including the right to a defence – are the basis for a democracy. It is not easy in these times to defend these values, much less for someone convicted in the past of terrorism-related offences, but defend them we must.

text: Friday, November 07, 2014, 6:18 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song, "For Our Nation." Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Hebrews 4-6 (quoting selected verses in the ESV). Thoughts and Intentions For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. ~ Heb. 4:12-13 The Holy Bible is not just a book of history, poems, prophecy, stories, and parables and the like. And, although men wrote it, they didn't write just their own thoughts. God breathed his words into these men, and they wrote what God wanted them to write. Since the Bible is God-breathed, it is alive, and it still speaks to our hearts. We can learn from history books and from other people's writings, but only the Word of God has the power to discern our thoughts and intentions, dig deeply into the recesses of our minds and hearts, and convict our hearts of sin. So, I pray as we begin this lesson today, that we would ask the Spirit of God to judge the thoughts and attitudes of our hearts, and to reveal to us where we need to change and be changed by the Spirit of God as we surrender our wills to the will of God. Another thought here on the fact that the Word of God is living and active is that it has the power to speak God's words specifically to our individual situations, even though they are not addressed exactly in scripture. We read in 2 Tim. 3:16-17 that "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." What this means is that we can read about the lives of Bible characters, and about how God worked in their lives, and although what we read is not precisely directed at us, we can learn from it, and God can speak to us directly through his word to the situations we are going through today, and he can teach, counsel, correct and train us in righteousness. Hold Fast Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. ~ Heb. 4:14-16 What does it mean to "hold fast"? It means: "to remain tightly secured; to continue to believe in or adhere to an idea or principle" (Google.com). So, if we are to hold fast our confession of Christ as Savior and Lord of our lives, and to our confession of his salvation of our lives from sin, what should that look like? – especially in light of the following verses where it tells us that we have a sympathetic high priest who is there to show us mercy and to give us his grace to help us in our times of need? I believe it means that we don't waver in unbelief, and we don't retreat back into sinful lifestyles when the going gets tough. I believe it also means that we live what we say we believe. If we believe Jesus Christ died to free us from slavery to sin, how then can we live in it any longer? We need to continue to reject sin's temptations, and we need to walk in Christ's righteousness and holiness. Dull of Hearing About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. ~ Heb. 5:11-14 Yet, many are not holding fast to their confession of faith in Jesus Christ. Maybe with their lips they are, but not by their lifestyles. They have become dull of hearing, because when the living and active word of God pierced through their hearts, and judged their thoughts and intentions, and convicted their hearts of sin, they refused the Spirit's voice because they wanted to go their own way. So, they shut out the Spirit's voice, perhaps time and time again, and so now they are dull of hearing because they have quenched the Spirit's voice speaking within them and thus they are still walking in the flesh. And yet, these words are not being spoken to those who make no profession of Christ as Savior, though, but to those who confess Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives. These are also not new believers in Christ, either, for he says here that they should have been teachers by now. These words are being addressed to those who have had or who have professed to have had a long-standing relationship with Jesus Christ. They ought to have reached such a level of maturity in Christ by this point that they should be instructing others in how to live godly and holy lives pleasing to God. Instead, they still have to be given the milk of the word, which is for the spiritually immature. This is a call to move on to maturity, but we will never reach maturity as long as we continue to yield to our flesh and ignore the convicting power of the Spirit in our lives. We can't hold on to this world and hold on to our confession of faith at the same time. The two don't mix! We have to come out from under the sinful influences of this world, and we have to be set apart to God and to following him in obedience - to be whoever he wants us to be, and to do whatever he desires for us to do, and to go wherever he requires that we go. We have to resist Satan, flee temptation, and draw near to God. We have to listen to the Spirit's voice and obey the Word of God. Then, we will be able to discern good from evil. An Encouraging Word Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. ~ Heb. 6:9-12 As in any congregation of the church, there will be those among us who profess Christ, but who don't really know him; those who truly are new believers in Christ, and thus are immature in their faith; those who have known Christ or who have professed Christ for many years but are still living fleshly lives, and so have not moved on to maturity; and there will be those who are mature in Christ, who are walking in the Spirit, and who are not making it a practice of their lives to gratify their sinful flesh. So, when the writers of the New Testament wrote to an entire congregation, it is not unreasonable that there would be a mixture of address from confronting those who are dull of hearing to speaking words of encouragement and comfort to those whose walk matches their talk. So, to those who are listening to God's voice, and are heeding his Word, and are walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh, we have these words of encouragement. God will not forget our labor of love which we have poured into the lives of other people through our loving obedience to our Lord and to his word. He sees, and he commends, and he appreciates our walks of faith and all the help we have given to others – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Yet, lest we should allow this to go to our heads, and to allow ourselves to become prideful, we must be reminded that it is only by God's grace, through faith, and this not of ourselves, that we have such a great salvation and that we are even able to walk in the Spirit and to not yield to the control of the flesh. We can still fall if we lose connection with the Head through apathy, complacency and disobedience. So, this is also an encouragement to remain faithful and to show this same diligence we now have to the end. As well, it is a warning against becoming lazy, and is an exhortation for us to imitate others who have consistent walks of faith in Jesus Christ. For Our Nation / An Original Work / September 11, 2012 Bombs are bursting. Night is falling. Jesus Christ is gently calling You to follow Him in all ways. Trust Him with your life today. Make Him your Lord and your Savior. Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus. He will forgive you of your sin; Cleanse your heart, made new within. Men betraying: Our trust fraying. On our knees to God we're praying, Seeking God to give us answers That are only found in Him. God is sovereign over all things. Nothing from His mind escaping. He has all things under His command, And will work all for good. Jesus Christ is gently calling You to follow Him in all ways. Men deceiving: we're believing In our Lord, and interceding For our nation and its people To obey their God today. He is our hope for our future. For our wounds He offers suture. He is all we need for this life. Trust Him with your life today. http://originalworks.info/for-our-nation/

Former Bell Labs engineer Upendra Chivukula today formally started his campaign for the 7th Congressional District of New Jersey in front of a packed crowd.
Upendra addressed supporters and press along I-287 in Bridgewater, across the highway from the Somerset County Vocational and Technical High School. He used this location to stress the need to end the partisan gridlock that has frozen Congress, noting that this week alone student loan interest rates were set to automatically increase and road infrastructure funding was set to automatically lapse because of partisan bickering.
"In Washington DC, we have a Congress that is too concerned with politics and less concerned with good ideas. The guiding principle of any person seeking to hold office should be the application of solutions over partisanship. The problem isn't that we do not know the solutions for what is going on, it's that we have a Congress that isn't listening to us," said Upendra Chivukula, "I tell you as an engineer and your next Congressman that every problem has a solution."
Upendra was joined at the podium by his wife Dacyi (a public school teacher) and his children Suraj and Damianty (both graduates of Rutgers University), whom he said serve "as a constant reminder of what my efforts have always been about: a better life for all who will work and sacrifice for it, and a better future for our next generation."
Upendra Chivukula understands more than most the value of education, which he called "the great equalizer." Originally from an economically distressed part of India, he came to the U.S. in 1976 for better economic opportunities, eventually earning an engineering degree from the City University of New York (CUNY). Without the means to pay for his degree, he worked nights and got a scholarship with work-study involving tutoring American students in english. "The fact of the matter is that I stand here today because of the economic opportunities afforded to hardworking people in this country" he stated.
After graduating, he went to work at AT&T Bell Laboratories, currently located in the 7th District, where he had security clearance to consultant on U.S. military projects across the country. It was at Bell Labs that the basic technology for cellular phones, weather satellites, and solar panels came to life.
"Now I stand before you today 12 years since I retired from Bell Labs," he stated, "I was able to do so by working hard, investing heavily in my own retirement and living extremely frugally. Many of you here have already lived your American Dream through hard work and sacrifice. I will go to Congress to make sure that the promises made to you are promises kept. That means the promise of Medicare to those who have worked hard and played by the rules must be secure."
Upendra first ran for public office in 1997, being elected to the Township Council of Franklin Twp., NJ, the largest municipality in Somerset County. He was elected as Deputy Mayor of the Council in 1998, and as Mayor in 2000. After retiring from the private sector, in 2002 Upendra ran and was elected to the New Jersey Legislature, in the 17th Legislative District. At the time, he was the first Indian-American elected to the New Jersey Legislature and only the fourth Indian-American to be elected to any state legislature in the country, which he admitted was an "improbable rise from poor immigrant to professional engineer to Deputy Speaker of the New Jersey Assembly."
His colleagues in the Assembly recognized Upendra's unique leadership qualities, and elected him as a Deputy Speaker and Chair of the Telecommunications & Utilities Committee in 2007. Upendra is also currently the Vice Chair of the Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committee and a member of the Transportation, Public Works, and Independent Authorities Committee. "In my public life, I have worked with Democrats and Republicans alike to pass meaningful legislation," said Upendra, "providing educational opportunities, tax cuts that help businesses grow, and securing retirement for hard working people."
"If you want to end the bitter partisanship and fix our country's problems, then we together can face the future" he finished. "Many people say it can't be done. I stand here before you and say it can. Many people will say that our time has passed. I stand here before you and tell you it hasn't. Today, I stand before you and announce my candidacy for Congress."

Obviously I didn't follow through with those pregnancy updates I promised a couple of posts ago on the blog. But, here's a pretty big update: I'm not so pregnant anymore.
Zach and I welcomed a son, Kash Aaron, on September 22 at 12:57 am – measuring in at 21 in. and a whopping 9 lbs. 1 oz. Here's his birth story.
My due date was September 26th, but since I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes around week 24, my doctor planned to induce me at 39 weeks. Now, while it was nice to have a pretty good idea of when we would have a baby, induction birth stories tend to be on the dramatic side. I would answer every "When are you due?" inquiry with "My due date is September 26th, but I'll be induced the week before if he hasn't come on his own." After which, the inquirer would give me their best sympathetic look and say, "I hope he comes on his own!" Thanks, me too.
Well, he didn't come on his own. I wasn't dilated or having contractions by my last doctor's appointment, much to my doctor's dismay. So, I was scheduled to come to the hospital the evening of September 20th to start the Cervidil.
We showed up at the hospital at 4:30pm on September 20th to get everything started. I was both nervous and excited as went up to the desk to check-in, we ended up on the wrong floor at the wrong desk even though we had taken the hospital tour. Once we were in the right place, the nurses had me get changed and settle into the very uncomfortable bed I'd be in for the entire labor and delivery process. After 30 minutes of questions and a pretty smooth IV insertion, the resident doctor came in and inserted the Cervidil to get things going. The Cervidil would be in overnight and would hopefully kickstart my body into labor and thin out my cervix for the next day.
The next morning, the nurse and a new resident doctor came in at 7am to check my progress – dilated to 3cm and having pretty regular contractions. The contractions were still mild on a pain scale and really just felt like menstrual cramps. After checking my progress, the doctor mentioned that I could get my epidural and he would break my water and start Pitocin. Since I wanted to go without the epidural, he went ahead and broke my water and started a low dose of Pitocin. Well, he thought he broke my water… more on that later.
The day went by fast and slow at the same time. We had family members coming in and out all day long sitting and talking and waiting. My contractions kept getting more intense, but still just felt like menstrual cramps. The doctors would come in and check my progress every couple hours, each time progressing more and more. 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, 7cm.
Somewhere around 7cm, I stalled out for a couple of hours. My doctor wanted a catheter inserted to monitor my contractions to make sure they were intense enough to move baby's head down and into the "go" position. However, when she went to insert the catheter, she discovered that my water was still very much intact. Great. So, she broke my water – for real – and inserted the catheter to keep track of my contractions. Almost immediately after the rupture, my contractions went from painful but manageable to holy-crap-there's-a-gremlin-trying-to-claw-his-way-out. That was because my Pitocin was jacked all the way up because my progress had stalled out at 7cm. So, yes, the horror stories you read about Pitocin are true.
I still hadn't had an epidural, and I thought I was golden… until the first contraction after my water broke. At this point, my memories of the day get a little fuzzy. I'm assuming that's because of the pain and because I took off my glasses and had my eyes closed while breathing/screaming through contractions the rest of the day. According to my mom and Zach, I went a couple more hours before requesting something for the pain. I was still only at 7-8cm and I knew I would be exhausted if I kept going like I was.
So, I got the epidural. And, since I got it so late, it really didn't do much. It didn't feel like the miracle drug that everyone said it was. But, it did take an edge off. A couple more hours went by, a couple more centimeters, and then I started to feel the urge to push.
And, yes, it does feel like that.
All of a sudden – apparently, it was about 2 hours – I was fully dilated, effaced, and ready to go. A nurse comes in and says she is getting my labor kit ready. Then, the room was literally filled with doctors and nurses all ready to bring another human into the world. My doctor showed up just in time. I pushed for about 30 minutes before I felt this tiny body placed on my chest and heard his sweet cries. He grabbed my finger with his purple hand and wouldn't let go. He had a head full of hair and he was beautiful. I couldn't believe just 20 minutes ago he was inside of my body – I know that's such a cliche, but seriously it's such a strange feeling.
He stayed on my chest long enough for my mom to cut his cord and for Zach and I to finally pick a name: Kash.
The nurses took him to weigh him and clean him up. That's when I found out that tiny thing, was actually quite big. 9 pounds 1 ounce big. 10 fingers. 10 toes. He was perfect.
Once he was back on my chest, the rest of the evening was a blur. Somewhere around 2am, I got to eat my first meal in two days. I got a hamburger – it was delicious.

Hi all
Problem was, I found it rather bland. I added Achiote paste (which didn't really break down) and some sliced fresh tomato with salt (which helped), but overall I found it a bit boring. I served it with grilled drumsticks. The combination of the two was nice, but not great. Does anyone have a way to perk up this puerto rican staple, or another rice recipe (i.e. Mexican or other latino) which has a bit more flavour?

Editor's note: Before the Sweet 16 tips off, ESPN's Beth Mowins takes a look at one player to watch from each of the No. 2 seeds. Here, she focuses on Ohio State's Caity Matter.
PHILADELPHIA -- It happened only once. But that was enough for Ohio State's Caity Matter.
During a regular-season meeting against Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights had kept Matter quiet. They shadowed the 3-point threat for 38 minutes and kept the game close. But then on one possession, after a timeout, Rutgers showed zone. It was one time too many.
With Ohio State leading by two and 1 minute, 17 seconds to play, Matter got lost in the shuffle. She found a gap in the zone for her first open look of the day and knocked down a 3-pointer to give the Buckeyes a five-point edge they wouldn't relinquish. Ohio State wound up winning by two points, setting up Sunday's rematch in the Sweet 16 (ESPN, 2:30 p.m. ET).
"Rutgers had switched to a zone for the first time," Matter remembers. "They left me open, and I was ready for my shot."
Matter hasn't missed many shots during her career. The senior has established herself as the greatest 3-point shooter in an Ohio State history that includes greats such as Katie Smith. Matter has connected on 268 shots -- that's 804 points! -- from beyond the arc). Her accuracy from downtown (41 percent) is also the best in Buckeye history, and Matter holds the single-game high, too, having nailed eight 3-pointers against Michigan during a game back in January.
In the Buckeyes' second-round victory at Maryland, Matter was 3-for-5 from long range. She tossed in 16 points to help lead Ohio State into the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1993. That's the last and only time the program reached the Final Four, where it lost to Texas Tech in the championship.
To take one step closer to another spot in the national semifinals, Matter will try to get herself open against the stingy Rutgers defense again.
"I need to be smart," Matter says. "I have to change speeds and use my screens and read what the defense gives me.
"It helps having Jessica Davenport inside. When she is scoring, it opens up the outside for me. Jessica is also an excellent passer, so when teams sag on her, she kicks the ball to me for open shots."
And all Matter needs is one.
