Craving something a little different for dinner? But after a long day at work, who wants to try something complicated?
There's nothing like finding a new recipe. But when you just got home, you don't want dinner to make your work day seem longer.

If you think Ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese are not related, think again.
Marco Polo, a merchant from Venice, traveled to China in 1274. By that time, the Chinese had a well-established pasta cuisine. That is probably surprising to you, but I taught my students that Marco brought pasta from China to Italy thus we assume all pasta to be Italian.
Being French Canadian on my Dad's side, I always have been attracted to the French language. In high school, I took two years of French and surprisingly enough, I actually remember more than "oui" and "bonjour."
It's March Madness in Kentucky and that means a basketball game is showing in every office breakroom and people are gathered together to cheer on their favorite teams.
Typical game day foods consist of pizza, wings, chips, multiple dips, nachos and all sorts of snacks. But sometimes it's good to go beyond the norm for your game day snack.
One year for Christmas, Dad bought my Mom a waffle maker, a Sunbeam waffle maker with removable grids and two other grids for grilling sandwiches or frying bacon or sausage. It had a small dish to catch drippings.
Growing up, I don't remember garlic being included in any of our family meals. Even in college, garlic wasn't mentioned much. But as a senior in Home Management House, we prepared three meals a day as our class assignments; sometimes on high budget and others low budget.

Sometimes you just want the taste of peanut butter and chocolate deliciousness.
It's one of my favorite flavor combinations. I'm a sucker for a good peanut butter cup or anything made with peanut butter and chocolate.
For one birthday, my brother bought me a super-size box of peanut butter cups. I kept them in the fridge and savored each package.

Robert McGrath's Jamaican Feast
It's the beginning of a Tex-Jamaican food adventure. Robert McGrath, executive chef of Houston's Four Seasons Hotel, and I are sitting in Caribbean Cuisine, a bare-bones Bellaire lunch-room filled with a handful of tables and the sound of an oversized calypso beat. Mock pickle barrels with stools make up the seating in a side room that doubles as a West Indian grocery. Noting a countertop TV, McGrath says, "I don't know how they do it, but they actually have TV reception like they do in Jamaica."
McGrath was born in Kentucky but grew up in Jamaica, where he first learned to cook. An alumnus of Cordon Bleu in Paris, he returned to the United States ("I lived in the Keys for a while – that was my transition") and ran kitchens in New York, at the Disneyland Hotel, and at Austin's Four Seasons. For the past year he has worked at the Houston hotel.
Although he is best known for his accomplished New Southwestern cuisine, McGrath has never severed his island roots. At the Four Seasons he has created light spring and summer menus in which island briskness meets Texas staple in dishes such as skillet-seared mahimahi on Pecos melon, and lobster-and-mango salad with poblano peppers. Looking for inspiration from an authentically earthy Jamaican lunch, McGrath is planning a meal incorporating island tradition and his own inventive touches. The result illustrates the perfect adaptability of Caribbean cooking to this neck of the woods.
"Texans should find Caribbean food pleasantly familiar, because ideally it's cooked outside on the grill, it can be spicy, and a successful meal depends on fresh foods," McGrath says. "The two cuisines are compatible because it's the same philosophy – food that goes very quickly from field to kitchen to table."
Texas, in fact, with its own tradition of hybridized cuisines and its stretches of balmy coastline, is a natural for the fresh, piquant tastes of Caribbean cooking. And the influx of immigrants from the Caribbean in recent years (especially to Houston, where reggae supersedes rock and roll in some neighborhoods) has established the kind of cultural base that can keep ethnic flavors alive. West Indian markets are springing up, and Caribbean specialty items are appearing in other Texas groceries. With a grill and a few exotic items, Texas cooks can try their hands at summery tropical magic.
To get started with our culinary research, we order fresh ginger beer, iced sorrel tea, and each of the entrées on today's menu: oxtail, cow's foot, kingfish, curried goat, and salt cod with akee fruit. McGrath, an energetic, impulsive man – fingers drumming on the tabletop, feet tapping on the floor – is a little wound up from running a big kitchen. His shirt is starched so heavily it crackles when he moves. "It would take a concerted effort to mellow out again," he says. But there's an island attitude at Caribbean Cuisine. Soon after we order, McGrath unwinds, sitting back in the booth and bobbing to the beat. Even his shirt looks softer.
Red-pea soup (made with pigeon peas) arrives in Styrofoam cups on a plastic tray. McGrath explains the special chemistry of Jamaican cooking. "By nature, it's already an alternative cuisine," he says. "You don't need to add a lot of cream or butter or things from a can or a jar. Everything you need comes from the market or the sea. I find a lot of ways to get flavor from things with ginger and lime, garlic and bonnet peppers [fiery Caribbean chiles]." Caribbean food celebrates the blending of Spanish, French, British, African, East Indian, and Dutch cookery with the indigenous foods and techniques of native islanders. The flavors, recognizable and yet mysterious, reward the adventurous palate.
Our waitress delivers a plateful of fried plantains and white rice, which McGrath douses with the soup. Of the plantains (large greenish, slightly sweet bananas), the chef says, "They're served as a starch, as an accompaniment to the meal – they're treated the same way we treat carrots." The second plate sags with entrées. The flavorful kingfish is crunchy with black pepper, and it whispers of bonnet peppers, a bright heat that jalapeno fanciers should find appealing. "Of the one hundred and twenty-five or so peppers that are rated for hotness, jalapenos come in only about seventy-fifth," McGrath says. "Bonnet and Jamaican bird peppers are just about the hottest I've ever come in contact with."
After a palatable cow's foot we move on to curried goat, more tender than any cabrito. "What's interesting about the curries is that they're part of the tremendous influence of Indian and African cuisine on Jamaican cooking," he says. We both skimp on the oxtail, tasty but gelatinous, then tangle forks over the national dish of Jamaica, salt cod and akees. The meat of the bland, oblong, yellow akee fruit looks like scrambled eggs and has a nutty, custardlike flavor when boiled and sautéed with fish, tomatoes, and white and green onions. McGrath accepts the suggestion that British colonialists might be responsible for the dish: salt cod and akee as the island equivalent of kippers and eggs.
We settle back to the ginger beer and sorrel tea, a claret-colored brew of dried tropical blooms (also called jamaica) simmered with allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar. Before we leave Caribbean Cuisine, we buy a tin of akee fruit, some fresh coconut cream, and a jar of Jamaican Country Style Boston Jerk Seasoning.
The shopping continues at a Fiesta Mart, one of a chain of Houston stores that are international, almost interplanetary – jam-packed from door to rafters and abuzz with a multilingual cast of thousands. Flashing neon signs lead us from dairy to bakery and past plantains piled to the ceiling, banana leaves for sale by the yard, and acres of callaloo, a spinachlike green featured in pepper-pot soups. McGrath passes up the malanga and cassava, which are starchy tubers, but lingers over mangoes. Bird peppers are unavailable, but we do find cachuche, a gum-ball-size variety of the brassy-orange bonnet pepper.

Greeks strike as fury over state TV shutdown grows
Published on Jun 13, 2013 8:28 PM
ATHENS (AFP) - Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Greece on Thursday as workers staged a nationwide strike to protest against the government's dramatic shutdown of public broadcaster ERT.
The protesters gathered outside ERT's offices in Athens and Thessaloniki to call on Prime Minister Antonis Samaras to reverse his decision to pull the plug on the broadcaster as part of sweeping cost-cutting measures.
ERT employees, stunned by the sudden loss of their jobs, were defiantly transmitting rogue broadcasts on the Internet and the Communist party television channel.
The government responded with the threat of legal action.

I recently installed Shuffle and love it, However, I'm trying to change the colors, which I thought would be easy.
The area I want to change is the area left and right of the shuffle area. You see, I changed the background image file for it, but I need to change the areas both left and right of it.
I went through the images files looking for it, and reviewed the code in the style sheet. However, I haven't found it yet.
If someone out there can help point me in the right direction, that would be great.
just contact the author, they should be able to best assist you with this.
can't you use firebug to decipher what controls this?
this is what I would start with

Two NASA spacecraft have provided the most comprehensive movie ever of a mysterious process at the heart of all explosions on the sun: magnetic reconnection. Magnetic reconnection happens when magnetic field lines come together, break apart and then exchange partners, snapping into new positions and releasing a jolt of magnetic energy. This process lies at the heart of giant explosions on the sun, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can fling radiation and particles across the solar system.

Angels sweep Blue Jays
TORONTO Keeping the opposition off the scoreboard right after a Toronto rally is becoming a problem for the Blue Jays.
Garrett Richards pitched 6 2-3 innings for his third straight win, Kole Calhoun hit a solo home run and the Los Angeles Angels rallied to beat the Blue Jays 4-3 on Thursday night, completing a three-game sweep.
Each of the four times the Blue Jays have scored in the past two games, the Angels have immediately answered in the next inning.
"That's what kills you," manager John Gibbons said, lamenting the lack of shutdown innings. "That's a huge part of baseball."
It's a problem for the offensively challenged Blue Jays, who faced the Angels without injured sluggers Jose Bautista (left hip) and Edwin Encarnacion (left wrist). Encarnacion hopes to return Friday, but Bautista is out for the season.
"We're not throwing out our top-notch lineup right now, we're scratching for runs, so our starters have got to step up," Gibbons said.
Left-hander J.A. Happ couldn't get that done against the Angels, giving up single runs in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings.
"You want to give your team a chance to win," Happ said. "We got the lead and gave it right back."
Happ (4-6) lost for the fourth time in five starts, allowing four runs and six hits in 4 1-3 innings. It's the sixth straight start in which he has failed to pitch at least six innings. He walked two and struck out six.
Erick Aybar had two hits and scored twice as the Angels won for the 15th time in 20 games and improved to 12-2 in their past 14 road contests. They have won six straight series, their longest streak of the season.
"When you're having fun, winning will take care of itself," Richards said. "We're going to finish up strong and that's the only thing we can do right now."
Los Angeles remained 9 1-2 games behind Tampa Bay for the second wild card berth with 16 games remaining.
Calhoun went 2 for 3 with a walk to help the Angels win for the 10th time in 13 meetings with the Blue Jays. Los Angeles recorded its first sweep in Toronto since April 16-18, 2010.
The Angels, 8-4 so far in September, begin a three-game series at last-place Houston on Friday and move from there to AL West-leading Oakland for three games next week.
"It's always good when you're playing well and we're seeing a lot of good things on the field," manager Mike Scioscia said. "I don't think it's going to sugarcoat any of the issues we had during the season. I know we have a lot of work ahead of us. Right now it's just fun watching these guys go out there and put games together.
Jose Reyes homered and finished 4 for 4 with a walk, but the Blue Jays lost for the 29th time when scoring first.
Richards left after Reyes hit a two-out double in the seventh. Michael Kohn came on and walked Munenori Kawasaki on four pitches, then struck out Brett Lawrie to end the threat.

Xbox Live Class Action Lawsuit Worth Pennies, Not Millions
A few days ago three angry Texas gamers filed a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for holiday Xbox Live outages to the tune of $5 million US Dollars. I was going over the case, examining their potential damages, and determined that this lawsuit makes absolutely no sense to me.
Okay, so maybe Microsoft had unexpected downtime, but demanding 365/24/7 service is expecting God-like powers from Microsoft. If it were quantified into actual lost funds, Microsoft's announced free game offer is very generous.
When you join Xbox Live, you agree to a contractual Terms of Use that you must agree to in order to join. Those terms include downtimes as necessary and paragraph 16, where you accept limited liability and no warranty. Here is that portion of the document:
16. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY We provide the Service "as-is," "with all faults" and "as available." The Microsoft Parties give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws that this contract cannot change. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike effort and non-infringement.
Xbox Live users are subject to downtimes, regardless of reasons or causes. Basically, if Microsoft provides the service that you pay for, you have no other say in the matter.
And even if Microsoft is liable for the downtime, the actual refund amount may shock you.
If you are a Silver member, or one on a free trial offer, Microsoft owes you nothing as the service provided is cost you nothing. If you are a Gold member, you can divide up your yearly fee to a daily fee. $50 US Dollars for an annual fee is approximately 13.7 cents a day. The downtime was about 6 days, which ends up being 82 cents.
So as compensation for the downtime Microsoft is offering a free XBLA game to Xbox Live users. This offer will most likely be a game worth $5 USD. Not only do they owe Live users nothing, but this offer is generous! If you accept the game, you cannot participate in the class action and lose your claim of your 82 cents. I advise you to take the game offer.
Lawyers have a bad reputation for frivolous lawsuits. This class action suit is just one of the many reasons for that negative stereotype. It is obvious the lawyers taking on this case have not done their homework and are showing their inexperience in an embarrassingly public way. After all, what do you call a lawyer who graduates last in his class? You call him "attorney."

I am sorry but the problems are still occuring. Takes forever to look at your friends info. Takes a few minutes to send one message at times. Getting kicked from games because the constant downage of live. You think it is fixed. You are dead wrong. I understand that it has to be down from time to time. But this is the worst service to date. Everyone is trying to make their online gaming like Xbox Live. Playstation's is far from it. Wii can't compete to it. But if this continues guarntee I will be on playstation's crappy service just because it is free.Posted by Doug at January 8, 2008 4:35 PM
Thank you texas! Once again your stupidity has proven valuable for the rest of us!

Well said, Robb! I've had almost this exact discussion with friends regarding satellite and cable outages. These frivilous lawsuits end up costing all of us more than they gain anyone except the lawyers. Customers hear "millions" and go nuts without taking the time to calculate their actual personal small change percentage if the suit goes anywhere. The businesses (or the insurance companies) will recoup their losses by passing the cost back to the consumers. I'm no fan of Microsoft but at least give them adequate time to fix the larger problem correctly instead of pushing for quick and kludgy stopgaps.Posted by Karen at January 8, 2008 5:28 PM
Only two things come from Texas...Posted by Paroxysm at January 8, 2008 5:28 PM
Amazing. Here's an idea: crawl out of Mom's basement and enjoy the REAL world! Maybe talk to a girl, hang out in PERSON with people. 13 cents a day you pay for the service! 13 CENTS a day!!!! How stupid and pathetic could these guys lives be to file this lawsuit. Talk about not having a life WOW!Posted by amazedgamer at January 8, 2008 5:46 PM
Although you're correct in your posting, there is a loophole in the contract that allows for people to recover damages from Microsoft due to Service provided.
I'm no legal expert, nor do I pretend to be, but I would think that this topic would hold up in court. The following is the article in the Terms of Service, in question:
im from Texas... aaaaaargh! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING! LMAO @ those three(3)<--- so they can read it too, idiots. This is just another example of someone trying to get over. I hope MS finds out who they are and bans their arses for good.Posted by the1ej at January 8, 2008 8:51 PM
Actually, Xbox Live hasn't been working for me since 24DEC2007. I think that's ridiculous! If this service was free I would be fine with it. Unfortunately it's not free. Neither is the crappy game, it comes at a huge price for any fan of gaming on Live. If this happened in June I wouldn't care but the day before Christmas and STILL going on!?!?
Anyone see the CAD comic about this? (contains language)
Lol...When Live is down I just kick it with real people, and hope its up later. No need to sue...if you have a life that is..LOLPosted by Kage314 at January 9, 2008 1:30 AM
Have people tried calling Microsoft to get a partial refund on their monthly bill? I would think that if you call them up as an angry customer and threaten to cancel your Gold subscription, they might give you a $5 or $10 credit.Posted by doctor_kaz at January 9, 2008 11:16 AM
But it's America we're talking about here. Think of the vast emotional damage these poor gamers suffered because they couldn't log in 24/7!
And emotional damage can be repaired in only one way - with money.Posted by Billy at January 9, 2008 1:28 PM
In replay to formidibleone, that clause will only allow for a refund for up to the amount it would cost for 1 month of access... they wont get their $50 back
new idea and its a great one... we will call it the boy who called wolf act... if you are stupid enough to file a lawsuit as frivulous as this one you can never try to sue someone again. slip in a store, too bad; mcdonalds coffe too hot, tough ish; get hit in a car accident, that will teach them.Posted by dt3 at January 9, 2008 3:49 PM
My life has been ruined!!!! I can't get onto xbox live! I can think of only two solutions...........kill myself........or sue xbox so i can pay for counseling from this life ruining experience!!!!!!
Get a life people its a freaking video game! Your complaining about 50$ a year? Your lucky it works for one week out of the year for that cheap price. It may be down a few hours at a time how about you wipe the food off your face get out of your chair and go out and do something productive!Posted by R at January 12, 2008 2:05 AM
What if someone hacked into microsoft/xbox Live and got your credit card number and personal information, changed your gamertag to something else and started charging on your credit card? And they bragged about doing it when you caught them. Is that worth a law suit?Posted by SR at July 31, 2008 11:55 PM

Soumitra Chatterjee is an iconic Bengali film and stage actor, theatre director, playwright, essayist and elocutionist. He won international acclaim for his role as Apu in the Satyajit Ray-directed Apu Trilogy, "Pather Panchali", "Apur Sansar" and "Aparajita". His role as detective Feluda in another Satyajit Ray-directed film, "Shonar Kella" won him a place of pride in the hearts of every Bengali.
Soumitra Chatterjee will be in the city to perform in a musical, "Hey Bondhu Bidaye" (Farewell My Friend), which is an adaptation of famous novel by Rabrindranath Tagore "Shesher Kobita". It will be staged at the Chowdiah Memorial Hall on July 2. The play is a tribute to Tagore on his 150{+t}{+h} birth anniversary.
The director of the play is Amit Ranjan Biswas, who will also play the role of Rabrindranath. The cast includes Bidipta Chakraborty Sreela Majumdar and vocalists Aniruddha Sinha and Paramita Bandyopadhyay.
Excerpts from an interview:
Rabindranath Tagore's plays, poems and songs have a universal appeal, what do you think is the core of this play?
The message of the play is that it is not always the confirmation of love that is important; loving itself is the ultimate goal of life.
Tagore is a literary giant relevant for all times, but do you think today's generation is reading him less?
I agree Tagore is being much less read, but it is through occasions like Rabindranath Tagore's 150 Birth Anniversary that we can help wake people up and come together to pay tribute to the great poet. But I am happy that currently Tagore's plays are being performed more frequently.
Why did you choose to act in "Hey Bondhu Bidaye"?
About thirty years ago, a similar play based on "Shesher Kobita" was staged. I played the role of the protagonist Amit, which I enjoyed greatly. The audience appreciated the play, and there was a huge demand to see me in Amit's role.
Which aspect of Amit's character do you relate to the most?
What I found interesting about the script was Amit's love for not only his beloved, but also for literature that sparkles throughout the script like diamonds. So, being a lover of literature myself, I felt a deep connection with Amit's character.
Do you think the quality of Bengali films have declined over the years?
Yes, today's Bengali films don't have good stories and strong scripts. Bengali films of the '50s, '60s and even '70s are timeless because of the outstanding calibre of the directors of those days. Although some interesting films are being made even now, today's directors should be more open to experimentation.
Which do you prefer, theatre or film?
Both. I love acting in films, but theatre gives me more scope to express my creativity, I don't just act in plays, I get to write scripts and compose music, even.
(Tickets for the play are priced at Rs 500, 350, 250 and 150, Call: 9845447130.)

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Whole Foods (WFM - Get Report) is proving to be one the worst charts I have seen in a very long time.
What lies before you is something I call the "Triangle of Death," and it's likely lead the high-end food retailer to lower lows.
WFM: One-year Chart
Obviously all of the genius technicians are going to tell me how stupid I am, how could I have missed the obvious head and shoulders top with the neckline at $50.
OK, I got that, but I like my chart better. There is nothing bullish about the price action, any way you draw the lines, especially when you consider the S&P 500 is back near all-time highs.
Whole Foods is one of the few retail stocks down on a day when the SPDR Retail ETF (XRT) (of which WFM is a component) is up nearly 2%.

Lots of options. Hard to say for sure but I would probably try to fill inject some thickened epoxy in the holes trying to get a blob under the deck. Then put in the screws and allow to harden. Use microfibers to thicken the epoxy. You might need to open the holes a bit and use a wire to remove some of the foam under to create a cavity for the epoxy. You probably wouldn't be able to ever remove it again however. Cleats should have backing plates but hard to say whether a 17 foot power boat was built with them.

Not only that, she has achieved some excellent results and is more confident with her work. Her tutor has been very encouraging and has in depth knowledge of the subject."
Academic success is very important to most parents. Frustratingly for many, their children often do not see academic success as important at all! This presents a significant challenge for mums and dads who want their children to do well at school in order to have a larger number of good quality career options following school.
A question for parents: would you allow your children to play outside without keeping an eye on them? Many would likely say no. Why then, would we ignore the potential dangers of allowing our kids to roam the vast world of the internet unsupervised and without fully understanding its capabilities and dangers? How do we teach our kids to use the Internet responsibly?
Enrol your child into Jump Start, our holiday maths intensive proven to work. Enrolments for the summer intake of Year 11 Maths B and Year 12 Maths B are currently open but places are limited and enrolments are handled on a first come, first served basis.

I am trying to create Delegate for reading/writing properties of unknown type of class at runtime.
I have a generic class
Main<T> and a method which looks like this:
Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(Func<T, object>), get)
get is a
MethodInfo of the property that should be read. The problem is that when the property returns
int (I guess this happens for value types) the above code throws ArgumentException because the method cannot be bound. In case of string it works well.
To solve the problem I changed the code so that corresponding Delegate type is generated by using
MakeGenericType. So now the code is:
Type func = typeof(Func<,>);
Type generic = func.MakeGenericType(typeof(T), get.ReturnType);
var result = Delegate.CreateDelegate(generic, get)
The problem now is that the created delegate instance of
generic so I have to use
DynamicInvoke which would be as slow as using pure reflection to read the field.
So my question is why is that the first snippet of code fails with value types. According to MSDN it should work as it says that
The return type of a delegate is compatible with the return type of a method if the return type of the method is more restrictive than the return type of the delegate
and how to execute the delegate in the second snippet so that it is faster than reflection.

Potters have appealed to the authorities to prevent the police from interfering with free movement of clay.
The Kaliman Pathra Nirmana Thozhilali Sangham president K.N. Kuttamani said here on Wednesday that the police seizure of clay while being transported to worksites was jeopardising the livelihood of potters.
He also complained that the government was sitting on its promise to allot 15 acres of excess land in Mambram in Palakkad and eight acres in Nilambur for clay mining. Also remaining unfulfilled was the promise to include potters in the purview of debt relief programme. The order on pension had not been issued.
The government had sanctioned Rs.1 crore for the Potters Marketing Corporation 15 months ago. But the board that should manage the corporation had not been constituted.
The union would organise a demonstration in front of the Secretariat on July 15 to highlight the issues, Mr. Kuttamani said.

Giving the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) administration ten days' time to clear the 4,000-odd applications for medical grant that are still pending, Janata Dal (S) floor leader R. Prakash has once again threatened to go on an indefinite hunger strike if the deadline is not met.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he said he has been raising the issue of pending medical bills for many months now. "After I raised the issue during the council meeting, I was assured by Mayor B.S. Sathyanarayana that the applications would be cleared after December 4, after consulting the three councillors who are medical practitioners. However, nothing has progressed," he said.
Mr. Prakash said the applicants, some of whom were counting on the grants to avail themselves of treatment, seem to be waiting in vain. "Some patients have passed away. These people are cursing the BBMP," he charged.
Mr. Prakash said the BBMP's finances were in dire straits. The civic body had failed to clear contractors' pending bills amounting to Rs. 1,600 crore, pushing them to bankruptcy while one of the contractors even committed suicide, he said.
"Even Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated during the Belgaum legislature session that given the BBMP's financial state, the government was releasing Rs. 1,600 crore to the civic body to clear not just contractors' bills, but also take up development works," he said.
BBMP division
He said the BBMP was formed by former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and that the JD(S) was opposed to its division. "Division of the limits is not a solution to administrative problems. The solution lies in decentralising power and appointing IAS officials to head the different zones instead of KAS officials," he said.
The former opposition leader M.K. Gunashekar had urged the Mayor to call for a special meeting to discus the proposal, which has not been scheduled yet. He said he was ready to lead a delegation to meet Mr. Siddaramaiah and explain their stand.

Newberry Notes begins a new chapter this year. Lori Mundi joins me this week to discuss the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus shared with prayer, sacraments and worship to prepare for a personal revival during 2014. Mrs. Mundi is an Ordained Minister with the International Holiness Church. She serves as Minister of Music and Co-Pastor of Glory Tabernacle in Newberry with her husband, Pastor Joel Mundy.
I love the New Year. It encourages us to release the past and embrace the future. It provides a moment to pause and consider our goals and plans, our hopes and dreams for the New Year. This is the time when many people are making New Year's resolutions; they are making decisions, determining areas of change in their lives. They are setting out to make firm decisions.
I really feel in my heart that it is decision-making time. Many people are reflecting on their lives and recognize their need to change in various areas. Take for instance our health — numerous people choose nutrition, diet, become a member of a gym to exercise, and other processes to gain the benefit of health.
The word of God says in Joel 2:14: Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision. There the day of the Lord will arrive.
How does all this relate to the Scripture? Set up the Tabernacle on the first day of the New Year. It was about a fresh start for the children of Israel. They had just come out of captivity and great bondage. It was their New Year and they were making choices to put God first.
Moses expedited the building of the Tabernacle and it was built according to all the specifications God had given him. It was the house of worship. The place was where God would meet with his people. The Word of God says in the book of Exodus that "God's glory fills the Tabernacle".
God's plan was a hidden mystery. He was working this redemptive plan. God's plans were about redemption and reconciliation of mankind and the restoring back to us what sin had severed. God was establishing a way where he could come again and preparing the way for His son who would come and walk this earth among men.
The Word says in 2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
Our new year: Let us have our spiritual houses set in order so that the Glory of the Almighty One would inhabit the garden of our hearts so that God may walk with us, talk with us, and the joys we share, none other has ever known. Choose this day whom you will serve!
Jesus first, others next, self, last brings the only tranquility in a less than tranquil world. The gift of Jesus is for all who will receive Him. If we accept the Gift, it's ours for eternity. Because God so loved the world, He gave His Son to mankind forever. Jesus is a gift you simply receive and accept Him as Savior and Lord. Through Jesus comes salvation, joy, peace, healing, prosperity, happiness and every other good and perfect gift. Receiving Jesus will make 2014 your best New Year!
Let us share this good news with others, and begin a new chapter in our lives — experience the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus, sharing prayer, sacraments and worship to prepare for a personal revival during 2014.
The mystery of the New Year remains!

BHARANANGANAM (Kottayam district): Even as Sr. Alphonsa was raised to the realm of saints by the Vatican on Sunday, the Catholic Church back home celebrated the canonisation of the first Indian saint from an Indian Rite. Across the State, church bells tolled as Pope Benedict XVI named her St.Alphonsa of Immaculate Conception.
The centre of Sunday's celebrations was the Alphonsa Chapel in the campus of the St Mary's Forane Church at Bharananganam. The cemetery where the Franciscan Clarist nun was buried 62 years ago in a simple ceremony has now been turned into the chapel which houses her mortal remains. The flow of devotees began in the early hours and as the day wore on thousands thronged the campus. Special Masses were held from 5:30 in the morning till 11 a.m. This was followed a rally by the Little Flower Mission League carrying the statue of Sr. Alphonsa.
As the rally arrived at the chapel, the Mass according to Syro- Malankara rite commenced. The conclusion of the Mass coincided with the commencement of the canonisation ceremony in the Vatican. The direct telecast of the ceremony was witnessed by the thousands who had thronged the campus on big screens erected at vantage points.
The canonisation was greeted with bursting of crackers and toll of church bells. In the evening, the ceremony crowning the new saint was held at the Franciscan Clarist convent nearby, where she spent some years as a nun. Later, a rasa was held in memory of St Alphonsa of Immaculate Conception and a Mass invoking her intercession was held at the chapel, the first after her canonisation.
A few kilometres away at the Alphonsa Centre at Kudamaloor, birth place of the saint, the celebrations were no different. The regular flow of devotees started early in the morning and special masses were held right from the morning. Here too, special arrangements had been made for the devotees to witness the direct telecast of the canonisation ceremony. St Mary's Forane church at Kudmaloor, the parent parish of the saint, too held special Mass.
Hundreds of devotees participated in the celebrations at the Forane Church Muttuchira.
The celebrations at Bharananganam will continue till November 9.
With canonisation, Feasts can be held and Mass celebrated in the name of St Alphonsa of Immaculate Conception. Her image can be placed at the altar and her name invoked for prayers by Catholic Church devotees around world.
Born Anna Joseph of Muttathupadom on August 19, 1910 at Kudamaloor near Kottayam, she became a Franciscan Clarist nun adopting the name Sr. Alphonsa. She led a very ordinary life and died at her convent in Bharananganam on July 28, 1946.Related stories:Festive atmosphere at St Alphonsa's home townCatholics in Delhi celebrate over Sr. Alphonsa's sainthoodPope creates four new saintsSister Alphonsa gets rare honours after sainthoodThousands throng sister Alphonsa's tombCardinal Vithayathil hospitalised at Vatican

Propane solenoid control
I am looking to clean up the rat's nest otherwise known as my breaker panel. In looking to accommodate the Trident Gas Control Panel along with an expanded set of breakers to eliminate all the doubling up that I have, I notice that the gas control is simply a 1A breaker with an indicator light taking up a fair amount of space on its own panel. The new panels I will be installing have LED indicator lamps. I cannot see any reason to not simply use a 1A breaker, properly marked, in the panel. Am I missing something here? I notice that Blue Sea does not print a "Propane" label for use on their panels.

Cautions against relying too much on studies that forecast no "tipping point"
The Indian newspaper industry and broadcast media need to shed their complacency and attitude of denial of proximity and gear up to face 'a double-squeeze' challenge posed by the digital media, N. Ram, former Editor-in-Chief of The Hindu, said.
He was speaking at a seminar on 'Media, Politics and the People', organised here, on Sunday, by Sundarayya Vignana Kendram, as part of the birth centenary celebrations of the legendary Communist leader, Putchalapalli Sundarayya.
Mr. Ram cautioned the print and broadcast media against relying too much on studies that forecast no "tipping point" in the near future, basing his argument on the country's relative backwardness in internet use and broadband access. He quoted Jacob Mathew, the first Indian president of WAN-IFRA, as having cited studies that predicted the Indian print industry meeting the fate of its American counterpart by 2040, and that by then, Indian media would be in a position to get a good share of the (advertising) revenue. "It seems to me that such predictions, and the assumptions behind them, reflect the widespread attitude of denial of proximity, if not the immediacy of the digital impact."
The just-released, top-line findings of the Indian Readership Survey (IRS2012, Q2) showed that newspaper readership had remained stagnant over the past six months, compared with a 35 per cent growth in the number of Internet users, of course from a low base, he said.
"It seems highly improbable that India has until 2040 for the tipping point to arrive. The critical challenge is the need to come to terms with the convergence observed worldwide, making nuanced assessments of the pace of change, and prepare for the future, including possibly, hard times."
Dwelling upon how India fared in the digital age paradox, Mr. Ram said the print media continued to face a 'double squeeze', heavily subsidising digital journalism which could not pay for itself by attracting enough advertising or subscriptions, or a mixture of the two; and the way new digital players put increasing pressure on newspaper circulation, readership and the business itself. Broadcast television faced the same problem, in somewhat different ways. The paradox was underpinned by more people reading newspapers digitally and the existential crisis faced by the old news media with no viable revenue and business model for digital journalism in sight.
Touching upon the debate on media regulation in the wake of Lord Justice Leves recommending a new "genuinely independent" regulatory body "underpinned" by legislation in the U.K., Mr. Ram said the Indian situation cried out for such an independent, comprehensive hard look into the culture, practices and ethics of the news media, and into the questions of what kind of regulatory and governance mechanisms could be worked out and put in place. "Nobody knows what the long term holds for India's news media. It should be possible through some kind of regulation to reform the system to put an end to major ethical transgressions, not to mention rogue practices like paid news."
Mr. Ram paid glowing tributes to Sundarayya and recalled his own association with him in the 1960s and 1970s. He felicitated some of the associates of Sundarayya: Ch. Venkatachari, V. Hanumantha Rao, Bikshawathi and Raghavaiah.
CPI (M) Polit Bureau member B.V. Raghavulu spoke on the occasion.

I'm a single parent with two young adult boys. My oldest is living away from home in the military and my youngest is at home. My 19 yr old just graduated HS and I'm trying to help him get on with his own life's journey but struggling to do so. I have tried countless times to talk with him about what he wants to do with his life now and I get no response. I have even tried writing him a letter. I want the Best that life has to offer him, but it seems that I'm not getting through to him. He does nothing all day long except to play his games and watch t.v. If i want him to help me with something (chores) I have to ask. I have always been a full-time Mom and I have also worked outside the house as a full-time employee. I was hoping that he would follow by example but so far nothing seems to work. I could go on and on but, I have already made this conversation rather lengthy. If anybody has any advice for me I would really like to hear your input. Thanks for reading:)!!!!
I am sorry you got no responses here. I answered, but my response must have got lost in the ether. Stuff happens...
My suggestion would be to charge him rent. Whatever the going rate in your area is for a roommate situation; here it might be around $350/mo or so. It is only fair that he start contributing to the family. If you really don't need the money, secretly save it for him, for when he wants to move out into the real world. He will either have to get a job, go to college if financial aid is available, or figure some other way to come up with his share. It sounds sort of cold, but it would be a step toward responsibility. I would set a date, a few months in the future, as a goal. Give him time to find a job, and actually receive some pay. If he only wants to work enough to pay his rent, he probably won't have to work full-time. If he wants any money for extras, he will have to work more, just like everybody else.
My two youngest are coming up on this stage of life, and I know they would each handle an ultimatum like this differently (not that I hope or plan to need this approach). BigGirl would hustle and get a job, but be pissed off at me and move out as soon as she could. YoungSon would procrastinate until the last moment, then probably go stay with friends rather than actually get a job.
It is not an easy situation you are in, but it is important that you be firm. Some baby birds need a little shove to leave the nest.
Please check back in and let me know how it is going.
All the best, Rhu
Thanks Mamarhu,
I will try this and let you know how things work out. The hardest part will actually be Me following through with what I say. For some reason, I was stronger about making them mind when they were younger and now I have to find the strength again to be the "firm" but loving Mom I used to be.
Well, I did it!!! I have been talking to my son since he graduated and hopefully he's on the right track. We will continue to grow together and learn from each other. He has applied for Americor and has a deadline by Jan. 1 2013 to get a job. I will help him as much as I can, but it is ultimately up to him now. I finally found the courage and the strength to give him the power to move on with his life. Yea Me !!!! I'm so excited to see what else life has to offer.
Great news -- best of luck to both of you!
Life is crazy busy but good!!! My son did get a job. It's only part time for now but we are working towards full time & getting his drivers license. We are taking baby steps toward the future but as of now things are looking up. Thank you for your help Mamarhu & I would also like to thank MariaMadly for you support :)
Good for you! I am glad you are seeing some positive results! Sometimes it is difficult to be firm with our children. At the time they may not always see the benefits of what you are trying to do. Later they may even thank you for it!
Hello everyone,
I am new here, I recently turned 45 and have an amazing two year old. Hoping to meet more moms like me or women around my age.
Hello, and welcome!This neighborhood hasn't been too busy the last few months, but we are a friendly bunch in general. Explore around here, and MDC in general, and I am sure you will find support, and a few laughs.

This summer vacation, we went to Ooty, which is called the queen of the hills. My father managed to get a map showing the hotels, parks, hospitals and other landmarks there. All was set. Everything was packed and we were ready to leave the next day. All of us were so excited that we couldn't sleep!
We started from home at 8 a.m. the next day. My father gave me the map and I 'navigated' the route as we went by. We climbed the 14 hairpins and made our way to Westbury Hills. In the evening, we reached Gorse House, the hotel where we were going to stay. It had a beautiful garden, a large tree house and swings.
It was very cold there, so I had to put on my sweater, scarf, hat, socks and a new pair of shoes.
In the following days of our stay in Ooty, we visited the botanical gardens, Pykara Lake, a pine forest and also managed to climb a big hill. The journey uphill was tiring as the strong winds were hindering our progress, but it was easier climbing down.
On the last day, we stayed at the hotel, playing chess, carom and other indoor games. We returned home after that. It was an extremely enjoyable trip and I'll never forget it.

Sir Alex Ferguson has reassured Danny Welbeck he will be handed the chance to replicate his England form with Manchester United after admitting that the forward had been a victim of Robin van Persie's prolific start at Old Trafford.
Welbeck has started just eight games in all competitions for United so far this season and, with Ferguson insisting last week that Javier Hernandez would be rewarded for his hat-trick against Aston Villa with a starting spot against Norwich tonight, the 21 year-old could be forced to wait until Tuesday's Champions League tie against Galatasaray, when Ferguson is likely to rest senior players.
Having emerged as a central figure in Roy Hodgson's plans with England by scoring five goals in 10 games since his appointment as manager in May, Welbeck's club situation contrasts with his first-choice status on the international stage.
"It is difficult for me," Ferguson said. "I don't know how I can answer it other than to say, with Van Persie coming in and Wayne Rooney, you tend to rely on the experience of these players. But what we have to try and do is alternate selections so Danny feels he is making a contribution.
"At the moment, we have tended to play him wide left. He is capable of playing there and he can still provide a threat coming off the side of a game, but he is a natural centre-forward and he will get opportunities."
Ferguson says his strikers must look back to United's Treble-winning strike-force in 1999 to understand the need to take a long-term view of their contribution.
