Embedding Jotform on Wordpress.com site always results in a hyperlink instead of an embedded formAsked by FairbanksArts on December 29, 2015 at 02:16 AM
Hello, I have created a jotform and tried embedding it on my Wordpress.com site based on the instructions provided by Jotform. When I try to embed my form it only shows the link after publishing my page and not the form itself. I have looked from other devices and it still only shows the link.
I have looked at the forum on this issue and seen that others have experienced the same problem although I was not able to troubleshoot the problem based on the answers provided.
Thank you very much.
JotForm Support
Inside of this guide find out how to Embed Form to Wordpress.com:
And inside of this guide you can find how to add form to Wordpress.org version:
If this dose not help you can try to embed your form with iFrame code. Inside of this guide you can find out how to get iFrame code of your form: http://www.jotform.com/help/148-Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code
You can also check this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/324-A-Guide-To-Forms-For-WordPress-JotForm-Users
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Hello, I have tried each one of the things you suggested and they all yield the same result that only the link shows up on the form, I would appreciate further guidance on this.
JotForm Support
When you were embedding your form to WordPress have you probably paste Jotform URL to Visual Tab. You need to add URL of your form to Text tab.
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Every single time I attempted pasting the jotform links I was in the HTML tab and not in the visual tab.
I would appreciate any help I can get in getting this functional today.
Thanks very much!
JotForm Support
I do not have WordPress.com to test this, but I have tried on my WordPress.org account and I was not able to replicate mentioned issue. I have embedded my form with Script code and form is shown on my test page.
Here is my test page http://authenticity-zest-532.qsandbox.com/?page_id=31 Code is 000.
You can also try to add your code between embed tags.
If this does not help, please try again with iFrame code and leave iFrame code, so that we can inspect you website.
I already tried using the embed tags before contacting support. I have left the iframe code up (and public, so please help with this quickly) for you to inspect.
JotForm Support
When I checked your embed code, it looks like you were trying to not only add a link to the form, but then also add the iframe code:
https://form.jotform.com/53615473491156 window.handleIFrameMessage = function(e) { var args = e.data.split(":"); var iframe = document.getElementById("JotFormIFrame"); if (!iframe) return; switch (args[0]) { case "scrollIntoView": iframe.scrollIntoView(); break; case "setHeight": iframe.style.height = args[1] + "px"; break; case "collapseErrorPage": if (iframe.clientHeight > window.innerHeight) { iframe.style.height = window.innerHeight + "px"; } break; case "reloadPage": window.location.reload(); break; } var isJotForm = (e.origin.indexOf("jotform") > -1) ? true : false; if(isJotForm && "contentWindow" in iframe && "postMessage" in iframe.contentWindow) { var urls = {"docurl":encodeURIComponent(document.URL),"referrer":encodeURIComponent(document.referrer)}; iframe.contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify({"type":"urls","value":urls}), "*"); } }; if (window.addEventListener) { window.addEventListener("message", handleIFrameMessage, false); } else if (window.attachEvent) { window.attachEvent("onmessage", handleIFrameMessage); } if(window.location.href && window.location.href.indexOf("?") > -1) { var ifr = document.getElementById("JotFormIFrame"); var get = window.location.href.substr(window.location.href.indexOf("?") + 1); if(ifr && get.length > 0) { var src = ifr.src; src = src.indexOf("?") > -1 ? src + "&" + get : src + "?" + get; ifr.src = src; } }
The iframe portion of the code also looks to be missing some pieces.
Remove all the code already added and replace it with the following:

That should be the proper iframe code.
Hi David,
Thanks for the response. I've copied and pasted the iframe code exactly as you presented it and it is still not working. http://fairbanksarts.org/membership/
I only used the iframe code per BJoanna's suggestion. It would be optimal if I could just get the embed code for Wordpress.com to work but every time I have tried it only shows the url link to the form and not to the form itself.
JotForm Support
It looks to still be adding the code as a link. Try the iframe code without the script portion:

If that does not work, would you mind sharing a screenshot of where you are pasting the code?
Here is a screenshot of when I pasted the iframe code you sent.
Here are two screenshots showing that I posted the code you just gave me and the resulting updated page just showing the link.
JotForm Support
It looks like you are pasting the text directly into the body of your page. Are you using the "Add Page" feature or adding it as a blog post? Try embedding the form in the same manner as this video:
It may interpreting the code you are adding as link in the post, rather than adding it as code.
I watched this video and followed the instructions before I ever contacted support, but I just went through the steps once more following exactly and here are the screenshots. I appreciate your continued guidance as I would really like to get this operational today.
JotForm Support
Quite odd, can you try the oEmbed plugin?
That should allow you to embed the form with just the link.
If you are using a self-hosted Wordpress website then you need to check this guide on How to Add Forms in Wordpress.
If neither of those work, let us know and we will see what else we can do.
Hi David, that will not work for me since I have wordpress.com and not wordpress.org. No plugins for .com users.
JotForm Support
I am able to reproduce the issue on my end and I am looking for a solution. I will update you as soon as I get it figured out.
Thanks very much and I look forward to hearing back from you.
JotForm Support
I am also unable to embed a form without it being changed to a link:
I tried the iFrame code, script embed, using embed tags and the direct link, everything was converted to a hyperlink instead of embedding the form.
I will forward this to our developers to see if they may be able to provide some insight. You may also want to to contact Wordpress support as it seems our previous methods may not be working as expected.
Thanks very much for the response and passing the issue along- it appears from the forums that many users have experienced this same problem. Jotform is a great resource, so I look forward to using it. I have already contacted WP support and will look forward to hearing from them as well. If they provide any insight, I will post it here.
Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you.
This is something that I found on the Wordpress.com support page here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
If you are familiar with HTML, you'll notice that codes such as embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea and others are missing from the above list. Those codes are not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons.
This seems like it would make it difficult for jotform to be integrated with wordpress.com sites, yet some people are able to use them?
JotForm Support
Thanks for your reply. Yes, we are aware of that restrictions on wordpress.com since then. We do not recommend using embed codes or iframes on wordpress.com since it is not possible. The only embed code that should work is the wordpress.com embed code wrapped with [embed] shortcode. However, I can conclude that this is not working as of the moment. I think it has something to do with the updates since this was working on my old form here https://jotformtest.wordpress.com/contact-us-3/.
Unfortunately, there are no updates about this issue as of the moment but rest assured, you will be informed here once this is fixed.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation with this.
JotForm Developer
We're sorry for the inconveniences. WordPress.com embed code is fixed now. Please re-embed your form to your website.
If you have any other questions please let us know.

The Yamaha P-255 contemporary digital piano is for all musicians looking for an instrument suitable for both serious practice and live performance. Thanks to its portable design and built-in speaker system, the P-255 can be played in any place or setting you desire, with or without external amplification. And with the first-of-its-kind Controller App for iOS, you can customize your piano sound or quickly adjust your favorite settings with touch-screen ease-of-use.
Despite its slim, portable design, the P-255 offers an impressive range of performance capabilities. In terms of keyboard, piano Voices and sound reinforcement, this is the very best digital piano in the P-Series. Whether you're already an expert or new to the piano, you'll love playing this instrument.
The P-255 uses the Pure CF Sound Engine to produce its piano Voices. As the only digital piano in our P-Series to feature the following three functions, the P-255 can also recreate the characteristic acoustics of the grand piano sound in a more realistic fashion.
Key-off Samples- This feature reproduces the slight change in sound at the instant you remove your fingers from the keys. What's more, different key-off sounds are produced for staccato and legato playing.
Sustain Sampling- The resonance of the soundboard and strings heard when the damper pedal is used has been sampled in order to recreate this acoustic effect. The P-255 responds to how deep you depress the pedal.
String Resonance- When the hammer of a grand piano strikes its string, the other strings will also resonate. The P-255 can reproduce this effect using its String Resonance feature.
With a heavier touch in the low keys and a lighter touch in the high keys, the Graded Hammer (GH) action makes the P-255 feel and respond more like a real grand piano. Additionally, the white keys feature synthetic ivory keytops with excellent moisture absorption properties. This means that your fingers won't slip even when playing for extended periods of time.
The P-255's circular speakers vibrate in a highly natural manner to produce a well-balanced tone. Thanks to this design, lower notes in particular have a much richer sound than on pianos with oval speakers. The P-255 also features built-in tweeters aimed directly at the performer, so that higher notes sound brighter. Also, the pair of 15W amps built into each P-255 can deliver a very powerful sound.
The P-255 is the first P-Series model to offer top-class maximum polyphony of 256 notes. Thanks to this improvement, you'll find that notes sound more beautiful while sustaining. There's no need to worry any more about sounds cutting out when you play busy passages with lots of notes and intricate pedal work.

All tinned or jarred tomatoes are not created equal, and the delicious jarred tomatoes from Così com'è prove this point rather well. Rich, intense and sweet these packed a full on tomato punch and made a delicious rich pasta sauce in minutes with no need for garlic or onion.
I first came across Così com'è when I went to a cooking class with Sara Danesin and Garofalo pasta earlier in the year. Sara showed us a jar enthusing about how good they were, and how pleased she was that they were coming to the UK later in the year. I was sent a tasting box, with one of each of the 7 varieties in.
Beautifully presented in a pretty box it is the type of present I would love to receive, and is something which I would delight in giving to my food loving friends.
- 75 g pasta - I used Sharpham Park's spelt
- 1/2 Jar of Così com'è red datterino tomatoes in juice
- 1 tsp capers
- 1 tsp sliced black olives
- slither crumbled cheese - I used feta
- few basil leaves
Cook the pasta in a large pan of water until al dente. Meanwhile in a small frying pan gently simmer the tomatoes, capers & olives. Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Pour the tomato sauce over and add the cheese and basil.
Serve immediately.
Add cooked rice to the sauce as you make it in place of the pasta.
Così com'è tomatoes will be available later this year from Ocado. Price tbc. For flavour and speed of cooking I am sure they are worth every penny.
Read Katie's review of the Così com'è yellow tomatoes here.
Thank you to Così com'è for my sample box. I was under no obligation to write a positive review. These are my honest views of the product.
I am sending my simple tomato pasta to Ruth's Presto Pasta Nights.

Will Ferrell New Orleans
February 20, 2012 by staff
Will Ferrell New Orleans, Comedian Will Ferrell got into the Mardi Gras spirit Sunday as he took the helm of the Krewe of Bacchus parade float in New Orleans.
The Old School star served as King of Bacchus in the parade, and looked every bit the part. Ferell has been in the Big Easy filming The Campaign with Zach Galifianakis, and he told the New Orleans Times-Picayune before the parade, he wasn't sure what to expect from Mardi Gras, which begins Tuesday.
"It's slightly ominous, almost like it's going to be fraternity hazing or something," he said. "But I don't know what to expect. I'm not going to try to predict (what happens), and I think it's going to be crazy and fun."

Fun, fashionable and designer shoes for women were meant to be broken. Well, more like they were meant to break you.
You've all been in that position, quietly reassuring yourself that these shoes are "the one," speaking about footwear like it is a new boyfriend. But, these shoes, perhaps like that new guy, just don't fit right, but they're so "cute."
Yes, we're still talking about shoes.
They're tight, awkward on your feet and are smashing your toes terribly with every tantalizing, albeit terrible, step.
What if a shoe company for women focuses their marketing efforts on not only showcasing a sensational look from their footwear but also educated women of all shapes, sizes and ages that foot soreness and fashion don't have to go hand in hand?

Hello, ive had a cisco 2911 for a long time now and i have not been able to get it to work correctly when it comes to the NAT port foward. i can get the normal stuff to work such as internet, vpn between sites; but incoming email, incoming client vpns (microsoft vpn) to vpn server will not work. i just cant reach them from the outside so im assuming im having issues with my nat port redirection.
theres a few options for it on the GUI and im not sure which one is th eone im supposed to be working with. i have no issue with my cisco asa 5505.
if someone could assist me or guide me on configuring the nas port foward (via GUI preferably), it would be much apreciated.
i know how the asa 5505 works, but im not too familiar with the cisco 2911

If you're comfortable with IOS, it's probably best to configure it there. Unlike the ASAs, the cisco routers are much simpler to configure via IOS.
Also, have you checked your ACL permissions?
Jan 24, 2012 at 10:41 UTC
is your setup link this?
Internet ------- 2911------asa--------email server.
also can you post your config of your 2911 without the public IPs and passwords?
Jan 24, 2012 at 10:56 UTC
I didn't know there was another asa in the mix. If so, it's probably a double NAT issue.
Jan 24, 2012 at 7:37 UTC
Why don't you just let the ASA NAT and let the router handle your routing? Am I missing something?
Jan 25, 2012 at 2:59 UTC
Is this proble closed or you still need assistance with it?
Jan 25, 2012 at 7:04 UTC
I using the ASA because I can't get true 2911 working. I am replacing the ASAs with them.
So it's Internet>2911>switch>computers/servers
Does it NOT automatically create an ACL when I configure the port forward?
Jan 25, 2012 at 7:06 UTC
Spelling corrections.
Jan 25, 2012 at 7:29 UTC
On Cisco configuration professional, there's several places in the GUI that you can add/edit nat, port forward and acls. If I could see where exactly on the GUI I should be adding what I want maybe it will help me figure this out better
Jan 25, 2012 at 1:02 UTC
you should try with following
Create acl that matches interesting traffic
Create permit route map that contains only one line
match address <<access-list name>>
make 2 of them, one for general access and one for specific from remote site
than put 2 translations limiter with route-map at the end of a line.
All this is much better to do from CLI.
If you need direct support on device i can do it private session.

Author Tags: Environment, Journalism
Ben Metcalfe (E. Bennett Metcalfe) was, among many things, the first chairman of the Greenpeace Foundation.
He was born in Winnipeg on October 31, 1919, the son of a Cockney mother and Yorkshire-born surveyor. During the Depression he caught fish for his family on the Assiniboine River. Idolizing Charles Lindbergh, he left home at age fourteen and reached England where he joined the Royal Air Force. Trained as an aerial gunner prior to World War II, he was shipped to Karachi and soon saw action in India during civil strife in response to colonial rule. In a two-seat, open cockpit Hawker Demon biplane, Metcalfe's job was to disrupt rebels loyal to the Indian Congress Party. The story goes that he and his pilot deliberately dropped their bombs in fallow fields in support of Gandhi's side of the struggle for independence.
During World War II he served in the campaign against Rommel's Afrika Korps in the desert at El Alamein in 1942. He reportedly decided to become a writer after wandering alone in the foothills near his barracks in Yemen, having witnessed the death of a close friend by machine-gun fire. Discharged from the RAF, he was first employed at an ad agency in Bond Street. At age 27 he was hired as a British Foreign Service information officer in Dusseldorf, Germany, during which time he escorted journalists through occupied Germany. Eager to become a professional writer, he watched and learned as news correspondents plied their trade. Metcalfe resigned and headed to Paris, a la Hemingway, where he married the beautiful Belgian Baya de Frahan, lived in poverty on the Boulevard St. Germain, tried writing a detective novel and fraternized slightly with French intellectuals Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. His daughter Sophie was born and he took a job as a sports editor for the Continental Daily Mail. He sold a story to Reuters about how the U.S. efforts to develop nuclear bombs were reliant upon Canadian uranium. It was a harbinger of things to come.
Partly to obtain his Canadian War Veteran's Grant, Metcalfe moved his new family to Winnipeg in 1950. He worked at the Winnipeg Tribune but his European wife returned to Paris without him after the birth of their second daughter Charlotte, taking both children. In Winnipeg Metcalfe met his second wife, Dorothy Hrushka, of Ukrainian and Polish parentage, and they left for Europe in 1953 as journalists for the North American Newspaper Alliance. After their daughter Michelle was born in London, the Metcalfes returned to Manitoba where he worked briefly for the Flin Flon Daily Reminder until a friend from his days in Germany, Ross Munro, found him a job with The Province in Vancouver. Their sons Michael and Christopher were born on the West Coast in 1954 and 1956. Metcalfe was always looking for a scoop and he found one in northeastern British Columbia. The provincial government of W.A.C. Bennett, in the name of progress, was flooding the homelands of the destitute Sekani First Nation. Metcalfe also worked to expose connections between Bennett's hydroelectric projects and a Swedish Nazi industrialist named Axel Wennergren. Trained as an aerial gunner, Metcalfe became a media gunner. With equal parts wit and wrath, he was formidable opponent, in both print or in conversation, contemptful of colleagues and enemies as he saw fit.
Metcalfe later worked for CBC Radio and founded a public relations firm with his wife Dorothy Metcalfe in Vancouver. Ahead of his time, Metcalfe paid for 12 billboards in Vancouver in 1969 that declared ECOLOGY? LOOK IT UP! YOU'RE INVOLVED, partially in response to two large detonations by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in Alaska in 1965 and 1969. Metcalfe coordinated the initial media campaigns of the Don't Make a Wave Committee, soon to be renamed Greenpeace, as it planned to protest the Amchitka nuclear test in the Aleutian Islands in November of 1971. A small consortium of eco-activists argued that the nuclear explosions, near a geological fault line, could set off a devastating quake and a tidal wave.
Metcalfe was part of the Greenpeace crew that used a converted halibut seiner, the Phyllis Cormack, to sail northward in an attempt to disrupt the nuclear testing. Robert Hunter noted at the time that Old father image mature war veteran cool hip all together Uncle Ben has gone through some awful transformation It was Metcalfe who argued most persuasively to curtail their voyage. From his experience of how power actually operates in a democracy, Hunter observed, his practical experience, he fought the Amchitka fight the way you would sell toothpaste. The crew didnt deter Richard Nixon and the AEC, but they triggered the outgrowth of Greenpeace, a worldwide movement with more than three million members.
It was Ben Metcalfe who recruited businessman David McTaggart into the movement. After Metcalfe fought with him over control of McTaggart's sailboat Vega (aka Greenpeace III) and decided to leave the ship in Rarotonga, McTaggart famously sailed with two others into the South Pacific to disrupt French atomic tests in the early 1970s. McTaggart dismissed Metcalfe as a fraud. The French military brutally commandeered McTaggart's sailboat, injuring him, to incite an international controversy. Again, it was Ben Metcalfe who worked at the heart of the publicity campaign to promote Greenpeace's activism. Metcalfe was arrested in Paris and expelled to Italy where he and others succeeded in getting the Pope to bless the Greenpeace flag. His expulsion from France was protested by French intellectuals and activists, including Jean-Paul Sartre, and the Metcalfes welcomed the publicity. (Metcalfe's first wife Baya had remarried to the chief of security of the French Atomic Energy Commission, Henri Messiah.) In Sweden, the Metcalfes and others, including ecologist Patrick Moore, attended the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and succeeded in getting a motion before the June 14 plenary session "To condemn nuclear weapons tests, especially those carried out in the atmosphere." It was carried by a vote of 48-2. The French nonetheless detonated their 28th atmospheric nuclear test in the South Pacific at Moruroa on July 1, 1972. McTaggart persisted in his efforts and later became the leader of Greenpeace in Europe.
Severely estranged from mainstream media, Metcalfe enjoyed a brief renaissance in Vancouver as a columnist for the Georgia Straight as of 1976, taking uncensored swipes at his peers and exposing the corporate agendae of the Tri-Lateral Commission. Respected as an outspoken journalist with a savage wit, Metcalfe was also encouraged by the Roderick Haig-Brown estate to write a biography of Roderick Haig-Brown--until he was strongly discouraged. The contentious result, ten years in the making, is A Man of Some Importance, a critical biography that attempts to "rescue Haig-Brown from the myth-makers who might have hidden him from true human understanding forever." Metcalfe critically places the long-esteemed Campbell River lay magistrate within a broad social and literary perspective. His 1985 book was independently published after severe objections from members of the Haig-Brown family who prevented him from quoting directly from Haig-Brown's diaries. Metcalfe was assisted in the publishing and legal arenas by David Gibbons, the lawyer for Greenpeace in its formative stages.
Metcalfe retired to Vancouver Island and died at age 83 of a heart attack at his home at Shawnigan Lake, B.C. on October 21, 2003.
At the close of his Greenpeace memoir of 1971, Robert Hunter has added a postscript from 2004 in which reassesses the group and its actions. Everything we did or said got sucked into an overwhelming power struggle, he recalls. But ultimately Hunter concludes the original Greenpeacers succeeded beyond their dreams. He credits the two oldsters among them, Jim Bohlen and Ben Metcalfe, for having saved his skin. Ben Metcalfe, Bohlens co-conspirator in the plot to bring us home alive, the other mature war veteran on board, and the mastermind of the media campaign, saw no reason to put us at risk of committing mass suicide, and I sneered at him for having lost it. But this guy had fought in the Desert War against Rommel, had resisted RAF orders to bomb Gandhis followers, and was so far ahead of me in terms of that elusive stuff called experience that there was never any doubt that in matters of life or death he could outmanoeuvre the mutinous but naïve youth faction.
He was an old rogue survivor. A genius, I now realize. In the end, I studied at his feet.
[Alan Twigg / BCBW 2004] "Journalism" "Environment" "Literary Biography"
Ben Metcalfe: A Journalist Who Made A Difference
In 1969, the US Atomic Energy Commission was planning to explode its second atomic bomb in Alaska, this time on the tiny island of Amchitka, in one of the most earthquake-prone regions in the world. Some British Columbians feared a larger man-made blast in Alaska would trigger a devastating earthquake. That same year a headstrong journalist named Ben Metcalfe paid for 12 billboards that declared ECOLOGY? LOOK IT UP! YOURE INVOLVED.
In October of 1969, 10,000 protestors blocked the major US-Canadian border crossing, unfurling a banner that read: "Don't Make a Wave. It's Your Fault if Our Fault Goes". But the blast went ahead. As soon as the U.S. promptly announced plans for a follow-up test in 1971, some of the Peace Arch protestors reassembled at the Kitsilano home of transplanted American Quakers Irving and Dorothy Stowe in 1970 and loosely formed the Don't Make A Wave Committee. Its sole objective was to stop the next scheduled test. According to Greenpeace historian Rex Weyler, that mouthful of a moniker was suggested by the Vancouver Suns newly hatched radical columnist Robert Hunter.
Along with the Stowes, other members of that Dont Make A Wave Committee included Paul Cote, a law student at the University of British Columbia, Jim Bohlen, a former deep-sea diver and radar operator in the US Navy, Marie Bohlen (who later suggested sending a protest vessel to Amchitka to serve as a floating picket line), Patrick Moore, a UBC ecology student and Bill Darnell, a social worker. It was Darnell came up with the dynamic combination of words to bind together the group's concern for the planet and opposition to nuclear arms. As the bushy-bearded Irving Stowe was leaving a meeting at the Fireside Room of the Vancouver Unitarian Church, Stowe made the peace sign and said "Peace" to everyone. That sort of thing was done earnestly in those days. Darnell quipped back, "Make it a green peace."
The Committee staged a major fundraising concert at the Pacific Coliseum featuring Joni Mitchell, Phil Ochs, Chilliwack and an unadvertised appearance by James Taylor. The gathering was widely publicized in Dan McLeods increasingly influential Georgia Straight and oddly coincided with the implementation of the War Measures Act. Ecology was political, whether ecologists wanted it that way or not.
The DMAWC committee would later be reformed and renamed as Greenpeace, but it was the Dont Make A Wave Committee that chartered a boat, the Phyllis Cormack, and set sail to Amchitka to "bear witness" (a Quaker tradition of silent protest) to the nuclear test. This tactic was not original. A former U.S. Navy captain had sailed his 32-foot Golden Rule from California towards an American nuclear test site in 1958, only to be arrested in Honolulu and charged with criminal conspiracy.
On board the original Greenpeace protest vessel were Captain John Cormack (the boat's tempermental owner), Jim Bohlen, Bill Darnell, Patrick Moore, Dr Lyle Thurston (medical practitioner), Dave Birmingham (engineer), Terry Simmons (cultural geographer), Richard Fineberg (political science teacher), Robert Hunter (journalist, Vancouver Sun), Ben Metcalfe (journalist, CBC Radio), Bob Cummings (journalist, Georgia Straight) and Bob Keziere (photographer). The group was soon jokingly divided between the Mystics and the Mechanics. Yale-educated lawyer Irving Stowe, who suffered from sea-sickness, stayed on shore to coordinate political pressure. Paul Cote stayed behind too, because he was about to represent Canada in an Olympic sailing race.
Few recall a second boat was sent to Amchitka, with Paul Watson on board, after the Amchitka blast was postponed and the Phyllis Cormack sailed south. The converted 154-foot minesweeper Edgewater Fortune, renamed Greenpeace Too, tied up alongside the Phyllis Cormack at Comox. Original crewmembers Simmons, Cummings and Birmingham joined the larger ship; the others reached the Lions Gate Bridge on October 30, 1971. The 5.2 megaton hydrogen bomb was detonated on November 6, 1971, measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. But the Amchitka nuclear test program was cancelled five months later. It has been suggested that his marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War
Three decades later, Robert Hunter learned from Jim Bohlen that he had been giving the captain his orders all along, and that the semblance of democracy aboard the Phyllis Cormack was all a sham. Bohlen was chairman of the Dont Make a Wave Committee and he wrote the cheques, but rather than say he was the boss, and that the Greenpeace and the protest action were therefore being run as an old-fashioned hierarchical power structure, he played games to keep us radical young crewmen under control.
Two new books about this era have brought it all back into its original focus. Greenpeace to Amchitka: An Environmental Odyssey (Arsenal Pulp $24.95) consists of Robert Hunters original record of the 1971 origins of Greenpeace, and Rex Weylers much broader history entitled Greenpeace (Raincoast $39.95) chronicles the Greenpeace Foundation until its dissolution in 1979 in favour of more international control.
In 1972, with Robert Hunter as its first president, Greenpeace sent the Vega towards France's nuclear testing site at Moruroa Atoll in the south Pacific. The successful propagandist for the Amchitka protests, Ben Metcalfe, was now chair of the Greenpeace Foundation. He chose the following crew for the Vega: Nigel Ingram (ex-Royal Navy), Roger Haddleton (ex-Royal Navy) and Grant Davidson (cook). The Vega's owner David McTaggart vied with Metcalfe for command of the boat. A Canadian living in New Zealand, McTaggart at first knew nothing of the original voyage to Amchitka. However the successful businessman and champion athlete later become Greenpeace's leader after he sent Metcalfe packing. McTaggart was famously boarded by the French navy, beaten and had his vessel illegally seized.
Various attempts to make the movie have failed, but eventually its gotta happen. Sean Penn can play the cosmic columnist Bob Hunter. Gene Hackman can grow a beard and play Irving Stowe. And perhaps Jack Nicholson can puff himself up and portray Ben Metcalfe

First Broadcast from the vessel Greenpeace (1971)
Radio broadcast
The First Broadcast from the vessel Greenpeaceby Ben Metcalfe, Chatham Point, Johnstone Strait, September 16, 1971.
We Canadians started the Greenpeacing of America last night, he began. We call our ship the Greenpeace because thats the best name we can think of to join the two great issues of our times, the survival of our environment and the peace of the world. Our goal is a very simple, clear, and direct oneto bring about a confrontation between the people of death and the people of life. The crew crowded around the door to listen. We do not consider ourselves to be radicals. We are conservatives who insist upon conserving the environment for our children and future generations If there are radicals in this story, they are the fanatical technocrats who believe they have the power to play with this world like an infinitely fascinating toy of their own. We do not believe they will be content until they have smashed it like a toy. The message of the Greenpeace is simply this: The world is our place and we insist on our basic human right to occupy it without danger from any power group. This is not a rhetorical presumption on our part. It is a sense and idea that we share with every ordinary citizen of the world.
Metcalfe, in his wool Cowichan toque, gripped the transmitter firmly as he broadcast to the world. While it may be true that it began as the idea of a few men and women in the city of Vancouver, it was not long before these men and women were joined by thousands of others, and now millions who have learned about it over the past few days. Indeed, the crew of the Greenpeace know today that they are part of a massive international protest against the insanity of the Amchitka test. They know too, of course, that they are confronting a power that has a certain experience in ignoring and opposing and even scorning protest But there is a certain feeling on board that a new and tougher situation has now developed for the nuclear people. That is what we call the Greenpeacing of America. It could work.

The cases are 12 years old where three firms, Kredence Multi Trading Ltd, Archisha Investments Pvt Ltd and Sainath Trading Company Pvt Ltd, failed to adhere with the shareholding pattern (SHP) disclosure norms of SEBI.
SEBI has confirmed that they will not instigate any enforcement action against these companies for the delay in compliance with SAST regulation. Under substantial acquisition of shares and takeovers (SAST) regulations 1997, the acquirer needs to pay, while filing the draft letter of offer with the Board under sub-regulation (1), a fee as mentioned in the guidelines of SEBI.
All the three firms has made separate applications for settlement of the matter and the Sebi high powered advisory committee had recommended the same on payment of settlement charges.
On April 2010, Uttam Galva Steels Ltd has submitted the disclosure under Regulation 8A of SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares & Takeovers) Regulations, 1997 to BSE. Uttam Galva Steels Limited is one of the largest manufacturers of cold rolled steel (CR) and galvanized steel (GP) in Western India.
World's largets steel maker ArcelorMittal holds over 33 per cent stake in Uttam Galva.

A few years ago, I fell in love with my co-worker. He asked me out and I declined him cause he had a girlfriend and a kid. I didn't tell him that I loved him or had any feelings, he simply had no clue except that I would stutter and get red when around him which I think was one of the reasons why he asked me out. I didn't decline him in a nice way, it was actually awful, partly because I didn't want him to insist being my friend or dating me, so with his anger and bruised ego he sent his gf to my office to pick up his last paycheck.
His older sister is a really good friend of mine and I kept the incident a secret till May this year. She then told me that I did the wrong thing and that he was going to separate himself from this girl and what I did just consolidated the relationship. I got pissed and I told her that I didn't want to be his scapegoat and the person to take all the blame for his failed relationship, so I did what I had to do. I was blown off my feet cause I thought he just wanted me as some kind of Mistress or a chick he has for some ass.
Later on this year, I talke to her on phone and she tells me that she has a guy from the middle east to introduce me to. Its weird cause her family is of middle Eastern origin and I'm freaking out that she might have meant her brother. If it happens to be him and if he is single, girls would you date him and give him a chance, guys what do you think of this?

Pink Moon & The Ice SaintsPosted on: 27 May 2008 by Gareth Hargreaves
Our ex-pat in France tries to follow French garden folklore.
The Saints de Glace have been and gone and everyone throughout rural France it seems is busy planting out gardens with impunity.
Happily, I no longer confuse the dreaded "Ice Saints" with seins de glace, which translates as frozen breasts. In my naivety, I believed that this was a vernacular equivalent of "brass monkeys": shorthand, in other words, for unseasonably cold weather.
I now know better. Anyone here will tell you that the three Ice Saints, Mamert, Pancrace and Servais, wreak their meteorological havoc on the 11th, 12th and 13th May. Equating gardeners' jitters with pagan superstitions, the Catholic Church tried, as recently as 1960 to install Estelle, Achille and Rolande as a more pukka trinity.
But whoever is to blame, nocturnal temperatures can plummet at this time – spelling death to seedlings and fragile young plants.
When in Rome and all that, so early on, we realised that our Sheffield horticulture had little relevance in the Corrèze, and so ever since, we've mimicked the locals. Hence, we take note of the Saints de Glace and their ilk, and try to be guided by the moon.
It isn't easy. We're not yet sufficiently steeped in the folklore. When, for example, was the ideal moment for sowing our front lawn? An ascendant moon for the good of the shoots, or a descendant moon for the strength of the roots?
Just to complicate matters, the Saints de Glace coincide with what's known as a lune rousse. For years, we blamed a "Russian" moon for rogue spring weather until we learned that the word derives from "roussir" which means to turn brown. The first lunar cycle after Easter coincides with a period when cold clear nights can increase lunar visibility and turn new shoots brown.
A "pink moon" is the nearest British counterpart, and some would say that the seasonal perturbations are all to do with the earth's orbital trajectory in relation to a heavenly band of dust that may or may not derive from the formation of planets. Perhaps.
I doubt if such concerns ever troubled either of my grandfathers as they contentedly pottered their retirements away, one among his beds, the other in his green house. As a young child, I would watch them at work, oblivious of course, to the notion that one day I might be old, retired and at peace with a garden.
The march of time proved me wrong on two counts, but "serenity" is not something I associate with gardening. Since moving to France, to faire le jardin has meant a constant battle with brambles and the Sisyphean labour of moving stones from one spot to another and fighting off the attentions of wild grass with a lone strimmer.
And yet… as I survey the patchy beginnings of a lawn, the outlines of a herb bed and a bank that we've transformed into a kind of elongated rock garden, I can almost envisage my wife and me, pottering merrily away, side by side in our dotage.
But then I look upon the weeds and despair. Five weeks of heavy showers and intermittent sunshine – the work, no doubt, of that pink Russian moon – have unleashed Mother Nature. All is fecundity. After the post-Christmas dearth of fresh foodstuff, the local markets are replete with bundles of asparagus and punnets of strawberries.
Considering the horticultural folklore and the way they stick like dandelion sap to the lunar calendar, it's maybe surprising that locals don't make more of the Ice Saints' passing. A communal meal, perhaps, or a dance around some fertility symbol. It's true, though, that this time of year is dotted with local events like flower festivals and the annual jamboree at Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne to glorify the strawberry. And I think it's true, too, that they're better than us Brits at marking the passage of the seasons with what's on the meal-table.
I'm not a natural gardener. Houseplants give me quite enough headaches. As a utilitarian glutton, however, what really excites me about the prospect of a garden is the idea of growing our own produce. Nothing tastes quite as good. Once we're in production, I may just leave the Saints de Glace annual tributes like little bundles of fresh radishes – in the hope that they will leave our seedlings unscathed.

New NCL Breakaway, A Disappointment: Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Review by rhcoburn
Overall Member Rating
New NCL Breakaway, A Disappointment
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
Cruise Ship Terminal for the first Breakaway venture into the Caribbean. It was a twelve day cruise. The boarding process was fast, efficient and courteous. The crew is pleasant and well trained and my room steward was excellent. I had selected an aft-facing balcony cabin (9322) with a large balcony after reading on this site. It was a good choice, pleasant and quiet. It was obvious that NCL does not want passengers watching TV in their rooms. Channel selection is VERY limited. There is a movie channel and a channel devoted to re-run TV programs, but there is NO guide for these channels.
The food was very disappointing. I ate many meals in the Manhattan Room, which is a tastefully appointed dining room with live music and dancing until about 9 PM. Two other More dining rooms, also with no surcharge for meals, Taste and Savor, were smaller with no music and not as pleasant, served the same food as The Manhattan Room. The selections for dinner were limited, repetitive and lacked imagination. The breakfast menu was the same for all 12 breakfasts and the lunch menu did not change for 5 or 6 days in a row. There were no daily specials for lunch or breakfast. My worst meal was rack of lamb. I could not eat it. In talking with fellow passengers throughout the cruise, the topic of poor food often arose. I was not the only passenger who had bad rack of lamb. I have had much better food on NCL's Jewel and Sky. The Garden Café was a pleasant place to eat, lots of windows, bright and airy and the standard fare cafeteria food was well prepared, presented and served by a cordial hard working staff. I was surprised and pleased with the efficiency of this operation. NCL's greatly touted "Freestyle Dining" is pretty much freestyle in name only. If one wants the same table, the same staff and dinner at the same time each day, the fine print says that this is only available between 5:00 and 5:30 PM, otherwise one must sign up for one of those portable electronic devises that rings, flashes and vibrates when your table is ready, which can be anywhere from ten to forty five minutes later. I did not eat in any of the nine cover charge ($15 -30 pp, depending upon which restaurant) restaurants. About one week before the cruise I made a reservation for Cagney's but canceled it after talking with other passengers who had eaten there and thought it was not worth spending $30. When I canceled the reservation I was surprised to learn that it had already been billed to my credit card and now a month later, I am still waiting for the charge to be backed out.
The spa is located in the front of deck 15 with lots of windows looking out at the sea. It is spacious and well equipped. Unfortunately, the architect who designed it did not understand the properties of water and that fact that this spa was on a moving ship. There was water all over the floors, even when the ship was docked, let alone moving. There was even a drainage problem with the men's showers. There were always towels on the floor in front of the glass shower doors to soak up the water that came spilling out of the showers. A very disappointing thing about the spa was the pricing structure. One had to pay $285 for the entire 12 days. All or nothing, there was no daily rate. Even when I paid $175 + for a massage, had I not already paid the $285 spa fee, I would have to pay $29.99 to use the spa.In my experience, most cruise ship include a day at the spa with a massage.
As someone who likes to walk for exercise and, when on a ship, likes to walk around the ship on a deck, I was disappointed to discover that this ship with 17 decks does not have ONE deck that encircles the entire ship. Deck 8, the Waterfront Deck comes the closest, extending as far forward as the front bank of elevators. When one is walking around this deck, one must cross from the Port side to the Starboard (or vice versa) through the forward elevator lobby in order to encircle about two thirds of the ship. Also, while walking this deck, one encounters several of the Waterfront/outdoor areas of bars and restaurants where smoking is allowed. A smoke free walk on Deck 8 is not possible. A smoke freopwalk through the casino is also not possible.
The Atrium did not work for me. It is a large two deck (decks 6 & 7) open area, much like a large hotel lobby, with a large digital screen surrounded by 30 or 40 lounge chairs, a 10 computer Internet area against the starboard wall, a bar, hotel type desks for customer relations/ financial transactions/reservations, etc, and a large two story digital screen where movies are occasionally shown. I watched one movie in this venue and quickly realized why there were subtitles in English, it was impossible to HEAR. Just off this "lobby space", the Atrium, through a door on the Starboard are two small rooms, the Library and the Card Room, in NAME only, I would add. The card room can hold two card tables (8 people) and the library just a few more books.
When I sailed NCL Jewel I found the evening entertainment quite good. Alas, not so on this ship. The highly touted New York/Breakaway/Broadway type production, Rock of Ages was entirely pre-recorded with no live instrumentation as was "Oh What A Night"' I did enjoy "Burn the Floor" with its excellent dancing and very good live instrumentation. Cirque Dreams & Jungle Fantasy was a good production accompanied with mediocre food for an extra $39.99. Because of the way the room was arranged, I found it difficult to eat AND watch at the same time. The performance and the dinner took place simultaneously .I did spend a couple of nights with Howl At The Moon Dueling Pianos with Eddie Lawrence and friends. It was mostly Billy Joel type music which became a bit repetitive and the "off color" after 11 PM segment was just that, off color. Less

Cabin review: 9322
I selected 9322 after reading this site, Cruise Critic. It was a good choice, pleasant and quiet. My room steward, Richard, was excellent. It was obvious that NCL does not want passengers watching TV in their rooms. Channel selection is VERY limited. There is a movie channel and a channel devoted to re-run TV programs, but there is NO guide for these channels
Port and Shore Excursions
Having been to
San Juan PR many times previously, I was not as dismayed as some passengers were when the ship arrived at 5 PM, two hours late. Even the scheduled 3 PM arrival time was not realistic for a decent visit to such an interesting city. There was some rough Atlantic Ocean water on the way to San Juan which, combined with the fact that, in my estimation, this large ship is underpowered and initial poor scheduling all made for not the best visit to San Juan. If this cruise wants to advertise San Juan as its first island stop, an honest approach would be to label it a late afternoon/night visit. NCL's consolation for the 2 hour late arrival was to extend the departure time from 10 PM to midnight. I happened to be with some people who knew, as it turned out, a very good restaurant with an excellent pianist. So my short night time visit to San Juan was a good one.

I have a Red Hat Linux server that takes 8 to 10 seconds to display a
password prompt when creating an SSH connection. Spiceworks keeps

there a way to extend the ssh timeout to allow for slower logins?

This might be a timeout, but I doubt it. We currently wait 60 seconds.
There is no easy way for you to adjust the timeout, but we will look
into exposing this setting in the future.
There is a known ssh connection issue that we have run into for other
systems, and we currently have a work around that will ship with our
next update (which should be out in a couple of weeks). It is possible
that this will fix your problem too, but if you want to help us make
sure, send email to email@example.com and we will give you a little
test program to try confirm that it works for you.

I am running a jumpbox image with ssh enabled, when i put the appropriate cred's in, I get the timeout after about 6 seconds, it doesnt even wait the 60 seconds, is this problem still not resoled? When i ssh into it via putty, it takes about 5 seconds for the password prompt to display.

There are two timeouts - the first is an authentication timeout which is 9 seconds. The second is a total time to run the remote ssh command which was 60 seconds. It sounds like you are running into the first one, but it could be several things.
Go to the device in the Unknowns panel, and test the ssh connection. If this passes, hit save. If it doesn't pass, the end of the log file production.log might have a message in it. Send this to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will see if we can fix this for you.

I have the same timeout issue. One of my ESX boxes takes a wile to present the login prompt. As such, spiceworks is timing out on the first authentication. I did check the production.log and it states a timout error. Any way to lengthen this timeout?

In the 2.x release, I think this timeout was a little longer - 13 seconds. In our upcoming 3.0 release, there is a setting controlling this that you can override the default value of 15 seconds.

I am having the same problem. On the linux log side it shows an error of "Timeout before authentication". I am on Version 3.0.23470

I've looked for the TImeout option in Spiceworks beta. Can you point me in the right direction?

I am having the same problem when trying to inventory a Mac OS x 10.4 client. I can use Putty to SSH into it using the same credentials I supplied in SpiceWorks. It takes about 10 seconds to work in putty, so looks like there are still some issues? Any idea when this will get addressed?

Did anyone find out how (or where) to adjust the remote login timeout? I'm having the same trouble.
Jun 4, 2009 at 6:42 UTC
The only current way to change this involves editing the scanner's settings.yaml file. Here are the instructions:
- stop Spiceworks (right click on tray and select exit)
- make a backup copy of data/settings.yaml just in case
- edit data/settings.yaml with a text editor
- find the current timeout line in the file that looks something like:
:timeout: 500
and copy and paste the entire line including the leading spaces right below (but with no blank line between) it to read:
:timeout: 500
:ssh_timeout: 30
- the default ssh timeout is 15 seconds, so if you need more than 30, change it to a bigger number of seconds.
- save the file
restart Spiceworks, and rescan.
Hope that helps. I will try to add an advanced network scan setting for this.

After being sidetracked with other projects for many months, I was finally able to implement this fix. Had to take it all the way to 60 seconds for it to talk to Mac OS 10.5 server, but it appears to be working well now. Thank you for your assistance!

You should also look at putting entries for the SpiceWorks server into the /etc/hosts file of your Red Hat server to lower the amount of time needed to get an SSH prompt.

I am using remote collectors, one per subnet, to scan computers all on the same domain. However, I am not getting the data from the remote collectors to correlate with the Active Directory data being collected. I have used SQLite and looked at the production Database The active directory Data and the Device Data is both there, but the field for the Device_ID was blank in many cases. I manually inserted a Device_ID for a known computer that is being scanned and restarted Spiceworks. I then re-scanned the computer and it showed being in the correct group and was moved it the correct group in the inventory.
I do not want to manually change all the missing computers in the DB, I have over 40 right now not showing correctly. Is there a way to sync these two back together?

Just a question, is your remote collector at a different site than your central? If not, why use a remote collector? I'm scanning about 15 different subnets/vlans from one spiceworks box. No syncing issues here.
Jan 28, 2012 at 4:06 UTC
The short answer is due to infrastructure issues that are beyond our control. We have found that the remote collectors work better than one central collector.

text: Blair shakes off flop tag for Test return Sun 27 Apr, 2014, 9:10pm Matt Encarnacion, Western Sydney Correspondent, NRL.com Tweet Email Print Just one year after being branded the worst signing in rugby league history, an emotional Adam Blair says he never gave up hope of pulling on his beloved Kiwi jumper again.New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney announced six rookies in an 18-man squad to take on the Kangaroos at Allianz Stadium on May 2 – but the return of Blair completes a stunning comeback."It's hard [to take]," Blair said after finding out news of his selection after Sunday afternoon's 22-6 loss to Gold Coast."I had no idea. I got texts from 'Mooks' (Kearney) saying to keep working on what I do well and that's about it. Being out of it for a couple of years and then working really hard to get back in there, it's finally paid off."Watch the NRL LIVE with a 2-week free trial.Get the NRL Digital Pass now!Blair said he always believed he would return to the international arena."I always thought I always a chance to be back in there," he said."I just had to make sure things went my way and I just never gave up on wanting to be back playing for New Zealand and I think I've worked really hard the last couple of years. This year, I think, all the hard work's paying off slowly."Heralded as a major coup after moving from Melbourne to the Tigers at the end of 2011, Blair had been largely underwhelming in his first two years at Concord. But the 28-year-old said a switch to lock mid-last year re-invigorated his game and he has been one of the team's most consistent performers this season."When the move was made, my job was a little bit simple," he said."Before then, it was a little bit all over the shop, I didn't really have a clue on what my job was. Once I made my move to the middle, it just narrowed my focus down to just doing my job really well and I think that's worked good for me coming into the season."Full Kangaroos teamFull New Zealand teamNSW City Origin teamNSW Country Origin teamPlay Holden Test Match FantasyTeammate Martin Taupau also earned his first call-up and coach Mick Potter praised both selections."They deserve to be picked. They've been consistently really good players for us, two of our best," he said."Marty played a lot of reserve grade last year and Blairy, I thought, has been consistent. As much as you guys don't tend to give him too much of a wrap, he's been really, really good for the Tigers."Even last year and this year, he's been steadily building and does all those little things that not too many people clap about, but they matter to the team and I think he'd be a good asset to the [Kiwi] team."Potter said Blair has been key to his side's resurgence so far in 2014."He was playing on the edge early last year and just the move to the middle has facilitated that a little bit and he's enjoyed all the involvement he's had in the middle," he said."At times he's been criticised for lacking involvement but when you're stuck on the edge it's hard to get yourself in the game. I think he's fixed that and he's certainly one of our key players."With six rookies expected to line-up against the current World Cup champions, Blair expected his inexperienced countrymen to make a stand."It's a big step up for everyone that's been picked. No one's going to give the team a chance," he said."But I think once that jersey's put on, everyone seems to lift another clear, and that'll show come Friday night once the Test match is on.

Beijing: A 17-year-old Chinese girl has been discovered with four kidneys when she visited the hospital complaining about the repeated back pain.
Xiaolin had undergone through ultrasound which showed her with four kidneys. She was healthy all her childhood but visited hospital for treatment after having lower back pain regularly first she thought it was premenstrual syndrome. But after her period the symptoms did not ease away so she began to worry.
Xiaolin's doctor said that she was suffering from a disease called renal duplex monstrosity. "The mortality rate for this is one in 1,500 people, which means most of the people would not even realise they have this problem," a doctor said.
The extra kidneys cannot be easily removed and used to help others in need as it attach themselves to the regular functioning kidney.
The doctor said. "Consequently, functionally speaking, extra kidneys cannot be removed and used to help others in need."
Doctors eventually performed a ureteralreplantation surgery and kept all of Xiaolin's kidneys. Now Xiaolin is recovering well from the operation .

Amid the hand-wringing over the Big East's future in the wake of the abrupt departure of Syracuse and Pittsburgh this weekend, Louisville coach Rick Pitino penned a candid blog calling the next 72 hours "crucial" to the league's future.
Pitino acknowledged the very realistic possibility that UConn and Rutgers follow Syracuse and Pittsburgh to the ACC, leaving the Big East with just four football-playing schools until TCU arrives in 2012. As a result, Pitino urged Big East officials to identify schools from other leagues that the league can pluck to stave off extinction.
"The Big East will have a conference call and the football members will all say they will stick together — that is, until an offer they can't refuse comes along," Pitino wrote.
"The Big East must move quickly and secure four football schools to enter ASAP and be ready for two more possible defections. Central Florida? Is Baylor or Iowa State next? What about Kansas and Kansas State? Personally, I like Memphis being tossed into the mix. Great basketball tradition (much needed with Syracuse and Pitt leaving), but they must guarantee an upgrade of their football program, which is definitely possible."
That Louisville could be left without a seat at the BCS table in this game of musical chairs is yet another sign of how little basketball pedigree matters to the conference realignment power brokers. The Cardinals have top-notch facilities, a large fan base and rich basketball history, yet the ACC appears more interested in adding success-starved Rutgers instead.
Pitino expects Louisville, Cincinnati, West Virginia and South Florida to stick together, but he acknowledged it's possible that's in the Big East or a new-look Big 12. He also admitted he was surprised Syracuse and Pittsburgh would so suddenly abandon the Big East, throwing in a zinger at ex-league member Boston College in the process.
"Didn't they check Boston College's championship totals since leaving the Big East — one, in soccer in 2005," Pitino quipped.
"This was a 72 hour decision by Syracuse and Pittsburgh. The next 72 hours will be crucial to the Big East."

The Best Hummus
Recipe by Chris from Kansas
I created this recipe through modifications of other hummus recipes. It suits my family's taste just right and is healthier than others I have seen. My tip is to drain all the oil off the tahini when you first purchase it. We eat it with honey wheat pretzel rods.
Top Review by Nikoma
This came out really great (even with my screw ups) I accidently grabbed the garam masala thinking it was cumin. If anyone really likes the "40 spices" hummus at the store give it a try. I added about 1/4 tsp cumin after the fact. And I used cottage cheese for the sour cream. I really like the result. From now on I'll always add sour cream/cottage cheese/yogurt to my hummus mixture. Only needed a little of the reserved liquid. The only problem I had was that it ended up to salty (and I use a lot of salt) I would suggest trying it with 1/4 tsp on your first try. You can always add more. Thanks for posting this!

On AfPak Border, Strikes Targeted German Nationals Training For Terrorism Strike
MARY LOUISE KELLY, host:
It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Mary Louise Kelly.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
And I'm Robert Siegel.
New developments now related to a series of terrorism plots aimed at Europe.
Investigators have fanned out over three countries looking for al-Qaida sleeper cells that might be preparing to attack. French authorities have arrested a dozen suspects, and U.S. and other officials say that a series of missile strikes along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border targeted and killed a handful of German nationals. It's believed that they'd been training for some sort of terror strike against the West.
NPR's Dina Temple-Raston is following the story and joins us now.
And, Dina, let's start with the arrests in France. What do you know about them?
DINA TEMPLE-RASTON: Well, the details are still sketchy, but we know that the people arrested today were involved with forging documents and, apparently, were being watched for some time. The French police, apparently, just decided not to take any chances and to ensure that these people weren't part of these plots that we've been talking about over the past week, so they decided to bring them in now. And right now, it looks like they were only tangentially related to this broader terrorism warning across Europe.
SIEGEL: And what do you know about the drone attacks on Monday that apparently killed some German nationals?
TEMPLE-RASTON: Well, there's some confusion as to how many Germans were actually killed. U.S. sources tell us they think between four and eight Germans may have been killed in this attack. But what I think most people don't realize is that there's actually a fair amount of German nationals who are fighting in Afghanistan and training in the border regions.
You know, we've reported a lot on Somali kids from Minneapolis who went to Somalia and joined a group there called al-Shabaab. Well, the Germans have a real similar issue. They have dozens of Germans who've left Europe and joined forces with a group called the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. This is one of these groups in the region that are very, very close to the Taliban. And apparently, some of its members were the ones who were caught in that drone strike.
You know, investigators learned about these European plots from a German national who was part of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which is also called IMU. He tried to board a flight from Kabul to Europe back in July, was grabbed off a plane, and he's been at Bagram Air Force Base ever since.
SIEGEL: And that German national, he's the one who told police about the possible plots in Europe?
TEMPLE-RASTON: Exactly. Officials had to go and check out his story. But here's what's important that's coming out of this is that this seems to be part of a broader trend that we've been seeing over the last 18 months. Groups that never looked at overseas targets before seemed to be starting to. The IMU - this Uzbek group - never had gone after an international target.
Before this past May, the Pakistani Taliban never did either, and then they sent Faisal Shahzad to detonate a car bomb in Times Square. So the fight is really shifting. New groups are joining the fight, and the other pattern is that they seem to be sending people to attack the nation that they come from. So Faisal Shahzad, for example, focused on Times Square, and the Germans are targeting Germany.
SIEGEL: And, in fact, Faisal Shahzad was sentenced today in New York.
TEMPLE-RASTON: That's right. You know, I actually spent the morning at this annual gathering the New York Police Department puts together. It's called the SHIELD Conference, and Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-American who tried to detonate the car bomb, he's actually - his sentencing was announced while the conference is going on. And they interrupted the program to say he'd been sentenced to life without parole, and the whole room just erupted into applause.
SIEGEL: Thank you, Dina.
TEMPLE-RASTON: You're Welcome.
SIEGEL: That's NPR's Dina Temple-Raston.

In these Bible verses about peace we can discover what part peace plays in a Christian's life in both their relationship with God and their relationships with other people.
Often people long for peace, but it can seem so distant at times. How do we find true peace and what is its primary source? When examining the Scripture passages about peace, we gain valuable insight that enables us to answer these questions with certainty.
These Scriptures on Peace are excellent verses for personal reflection, comfort, or study. They can also be used to encourage others who may need to read them.
These Bible verses about peace specifically identify God as the God of peace and Jesus is referred to as the Prince of Peace. When Jesus came into the world, he brought peace between man and God through his work on the cross.
We understand from these Bible quotes that the source of peace is God himself and that we can find inner peace through the Holy Spirit who indwells us. When we seek out the spiritual and deny the sins of the flesh, we enter more into that true godly peace that is so much different than that offered by the world.
I spent much of my life seeking peace through things of the world, only to learn later in life of that pure peace that is found in God.
As Christians, we are also instructed to be at peace with one another and not argue and divide over insignificant issues. We should struggle to make peace wherever possible, knowing that the peacemakers are the true children of God.
Share these Scriptures about peace with your friends and family. Spread the word of God, and help spread peace as well.
