If you follow the British press, you are aware that the second-biggest scandal in Great Britain, after the ongoing horror of the National Health Service, is the discovery that for years, suppliers of various food products have been substituting horse meat for beef. The horse meat frequently originated in Poland, but recent investigations have found horse meat that originates in Britain itself and has been masquerading as beef. English beefeaters are outraged:
The Food Standards Agency closed a slaughterhouse in West Yorkshire and a processing plant in Wales after an investigation found horse carcasses had been used to make beefburgers and kebabs sold in Britain.
The Environment Secretary said he was absolutely shocked by the allegations and expected the full force of the law to be used against anyone involved in the trade.
The raids represent the first time British meat suppliers have been involved in the scandal since contaminated beefburgers were discovered in January.
Previously, beefburgers and ready meals contaminated with horse meat have been traced to Romania and Poland. Owen Paterson, the Environment Secretary, said: "This is absolutely shocking."
It is wrong, of course, to pass off horse meat (or anything else) as beef. But Continentals view the Brits' horror at discovering they have been eating horses with a degree of puzzlement. What's wrong with horse meat, the French want to know. They eat a lot of it. Of course, people who consider snails and frogs to be excellent protein sources can't be expected to draw the line at equines; then there is the fact that horse meat has long been a staple of retreating armies.
The whole controversy sheds interesting light on the subject of food preferences and taboos. Braudel writes extensively about the Europeans' historic preference for wheat, a taste that cost many lives over the centuries. East Asians, on the other hand, scorned bread and lived on rice, a preference that worked pretty well for them, especially after they invented the rice paddy. But wheat and rice are preferences, not taboos. The Chinese historically haven't wanted to eat bread, but you can buy fried scorpions on the streets of Chinese cities. That isn't a matter of taste or preference; it is simply disgusting.
Which is not the case with respect to horse meat. I have only eaten it once, a few years ago when I spent a couple of weeks in Osaka, taking depositions at the American consulate there. One night our group went out to dinner at a restaurant where no one spoke English, and our translator ordered for us. We had a lot of great food in Osaka, but this particular evening was pretty exotic for us. Items like whale sushi, and sashimi–which I have never been able to warm up to; I need the rice–and those tiny dried fish with the big black eyes, which my wife liked a lot. But I couldn't get past the eyes. Anyway, we were well into the meal and hadn't yet had anything that resembled what we call food at home, when we were delighted to see the waitresses bring out a hibachi and a plate full of chunks of raw red meat. We asked our translator what it was, and she said "horse." We didn't care: it was by far the most normal (to us) thing we ate that night, and we enjoyed it heartily. The flavor was good, a little tangier than beef but very much in the red meat family.
So if anyone offers you horse, my advice is to eat it. I understand the issue of mislabeling; nevertheless, I think the Brits are making too big a stir about tucking into old Dobbin.

The service, code named "time machine", is an initiative after a recent news about a well-known web hosting provider deleted all customer websites after a typo in their maintenance script. The incident proved local backups are not enough to protect customer's valuable data. Even offsite backup of the same company also may not be secure as maintenance script can easily propagate to backup servers too. Amazon S3 on the other hand, with versioning enabled, even when the data is deleted, can be easily recovered to any previous versions.
The use of AWS S3 for website backups also allow LayerOnline to restore customer websites to any LayerOnline server on any continent, in case the original server or the datacenter of the original server is down.
Normally web hosting providers offer no backup or only one nightly backup due to the high cost of backups. At LayerOnline we believe protecting user's data is utmost priority and one year of backup is provided free of charge.

Media Relations - Overview
Lewis University's Office of Marketing and Communications understands the importance of cultivating media relations. Each year, more than 200 press releases and approximately 150 guide notices are sent out to nearly 80 media contacts. The University is mentioned on more days than not in either a newspaper article or a radio announcement. And this work has its rewards, contributing to the University's overall goal of becoming a leading mid-sized, Midwestern Catholic university, and reaching a maximum population of 8,000 students in the coming years. The word is getting out about Lewis University, and each member of the Lewis University community has a vital part to play in the process. As Lewis increases its visibility, it also will increasingly become one of the educational institutions that the media will turn to for expert opinion.
The media plays a vital role in the promotion of Lewis University, assisting
us in spreading the news about Lewis' programs, events and initiatives,
and enhancing our image through consistent exposure to the general public.
While members of the media often call upon us to lend the expertise of our
faculty in their research for a story, our relationship with the media is
hardly a one-way street. Yes, it may take time to respond to inquiries from
the media as a busy faculty or staff member, but the publicity that Lewis
receives in doing so also helps to elevate the University's reputation.
In addition, building those relationships is extremely helpful when having
some news of your own that you would like to publicize.

New York artist Sylvan Lionni once characterized himself as a "child of Mondrian and the video arcade," a description that could ring true for many in the current generation of painters intent upon collapsing the abstract/representational divide in a Pop context. Lionni's particular strategy entails the artist producing renderings of mass-produced objects like lottery tickets, stripped of all but their geometric undergarments. These immaculate paintings reveal their conceptual angle in their very making: layer upon layer of acrylic lend their products a thick, hard-edged polish, while also divesting them of authorial marks. This labor-intensive performance of post-industrial manufacture not only draws attention to contemporary conditions of production and consumption, but also illuminates the threshold Lionni's referents cross, when remade as functionless art-objects. As strong as these conceptual foundations may be, "Before the Flood," Lionni's current exhibition at New York's Freight & Volume fails to match past bodies of work. The solar panel is the source of his new paintings, which the artist variably hangs, props against walls and, in the most humorous installation, tilts towards the ceiling, on aluminum bracing, as if they absorb light in the same fashion as their sources (Sun Ra, 2008). Yet the press release is a disservice to their formal elegance, which excerpts Glenn Dixon's muddy "Daylight Saving Time," including the author's claim that "In the wake of the industrial revolution, the production and consumption of energy were driven apart - largely owing to the offense given by production to the eye, ear, or nose." Lionni's referents carry enough resonance to stand without such theoretical girding. - Tyler Coburn

Golden Gate Bridge officials have approved a plan for a suicide barrier on the iconic bridge.
The 19-member board unanimously voted to approve funding for the project Friday morning.
In an emotion-filled board meeting, the directors approved spending $20 million for the $76 million project. The rest of the money will be covered by the state and federal government.
Construction on the proposed steel cable net system would is expected to be completed by 2018, with bidding on the job expected to begin next year.
Some people oppose the barrier, saying it will be unsightly, but officials say the barrier will not mar the landmark bridge's appearance.
District general manager Denis Mulligan said the bridge district staff's opinion is that "construction of the suicide deterrent simply is the right thing to do at this time."
The motion for Friday's vote came from board member and former bridge district director John Moylan, whose grandson, Sean Moylan, jumped off the bridge to his death earlier this month.
A tearful Dan Barks of Napa, who lost his son, Donovan, to suicide on the bridge in 2008, said after the vote that he was almost speechless. ``A lot of people have done so much incredible work to get this accomplished,'' he said.
After the vote, he rose from his knees and shared a tearful embrace with Sue Story of Rocklin, whose son Jacob jumped off the bridge in 2010.
``We did it, Dan! We did it! It's no longer the Bridge of Death anymore,'' she said.
More than a dozen family members of those who have taken their lives on the bridge spoke at the meeting, all with the same plea.
"My main thing for being here is to prevent future deaths, prevent future families from going through what we're going through," said Manuel Gamboa, whose son Kyle jumped to his death from the bridge last year.
At least some of the money still requires additional approval. The bridge's board, however, has now taken its final step in adopting the net.
The Golden Gate Bridge, with its sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, has long been a destination for people seeking to end their lives. Since it opened in 1937, more than 1,400 people have plunged to their deaths, including a record 46 suicides last year, officials said.
The bridge's board voted in 2008 to install a stainless steel net, rejecting other options, including raising the 4-foot-high railings and leaving the iconic span unchanged. Two years later, they certified the final environmental impact report for the net, which would stretch about 20 feet wide on each side of the span.
The funding plan includes $22 million of federal Local Highway Bridge Program money programmed by Caltrans, $27 million from federal Surface Transportation Program funds programmed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, $7 million from California Mental Health Service Act funds and $20 million from the district's reserves.
The Associated Press and Bay City News contributed to this report.

MONROE — Exactly when prison inmate Jerry L. Jamison died of natural causes in September remains a mystery.
The television in his Washington State Reformatory cell was turned off at 10:28 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 19. He was found at 11:47 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21. That means he died some time within a 37 hour and 19 minute time frame.*
Although several checks were made, apparently no one detected the Everett man, 48, had died.
At one point on that Saturday, a corrections officer went into Jamison's cell and placed mail on his legs at the foot of his bed, records show.
His body was cold and rigid when corrections officers at the Monroe prison determined he was dead in his bed Sept. 21. They tried CPR.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy but couldn't pinpoint a time of death. It found that he died from "dilated cardiomyopathy," a progressive disease in which the heart becomes weakened and enlarged and can't pump enough blood to the rest of the body.
State prison officials investigated the circumstances surrounding Jamison's death, trying to determine why it wasn't discovered sooner. Prison officials released the report Monday.
Investigators found several routine checks were made, but staff assumed Jamison was sleeping.
The internal review also raised concerns about discrepancies between log book documentation claiming "tier checks" had been made and video footage suggesting otherwise. There also was an issue because paperwork documenting inmate counts had not been retained for 30 days, a procedure outlined in a prison memo.
Monroe Corrections Complex Superintendent Rob Herzog said there will be a separate investigation to try to determine why the video record appears to contradict officer accounts of checks being made. He said he won't speculate on the discrepancies or the potential for discipline until all facts are known.
Prison officials also will be re-examining how they check on inmates, said Chad Lewis, a state Department of Corrections spokesman.
Department of Corrections policy and operating procedures at Monroe says corrections officers "must be sure they are counting living, breathing flesh," according to the review released Monday.
In practice, that can be a tricky proposition when inmates are in their beds trying to sleep, state corrections officials said.
"It's a delicate balance," Lewis said.
If an officer wakes an inmate while trying to check on his welfare, the inmate can claim harassment or maybe misuse of force. "But you also have to ensure they are safe," Lewis said.
Monroe prison staff will discuss how best to make "the living breathing flesh checks" in January, Herzog said.
The head of security for the Department of Corrections also is considering requiring a standing count of inmates at least once every 24 hours, Lewis said.
Jamison, who was serving time for drug crimes and eluding police, was in his bed in the reformatory's third tier when he was found.
He'd gone to dinner around 5 p.m. Sept. 19 and then attended choir in the prison chapel until about 8:30 p.m.
Shortly before 5 p.m. on Sept. 20, an inmate stopped by Jamison's cell, shook his bedding and tried to speak with him before going to dinner. The inmate figured Jamison was sleeping, records show.
The investigation also noted missing paperwork related to cell inspections.
"There is no documentation to support that the cell inspections were completed during the week of Sept. 15-21, 2013," the report said. "Had inspections been completed, staff would have directly interacted with Offender Jamison."
A doctor reviewing records said Jamison was being treated for a diagnosed medical condition and found the prison's treatment plan to be appropriate.
"Mr. Jamison's death had nothing to do with staff action or inaction," Lewis said. "He died quietly in his cell."

Sellers Don't Drive All Negotiations
As of the end of May, we are still in the middle of a hot seller's market. When a seller places their home on the market today, it's common for there to be many showing requests and multiple offers right off the bat. High buyer demand equals high negotiating power for the seller.
What many sellers don't anticipate, however, is the power shift that occurs once a seller accepts an offer.
Before acceptance, you are in the driver's seat if you have many buyers. After acceptance, you have only one buyer. That means your fate now lies with the buyer and their ability to close the deal. Before you pick the highest priced offer, let's look at how you can identify the strongest offer before signing on the dotted line.
The Devil's in the Details
An offer comes in. You may be tempted to go straight to the price. If it's close to asking price or over, you think, "Whew! It's a good one!"
But, is it really? How do you know?
The nine-page Offer to Purchase document used by Realtors and consumers looks daunting. But when broken down, we can summarize it into these five points:
- Price
- Occupancy
- Terms
- Contingencies
- Inclusions and exclusions
Let's take a closer look at each of these areas and see if we can boil them down to their essence. (Note, these tips are written from the perspective of advising a seller.)
The Lure of Price
This is often where people focus their attention. In today's seller's market, we're seeing prices move upwards due to high demand and limited homes for sale. Multiple offers on a property can almost be seen as the norm. (See Madison's Average Single-Family Home Value Reaches Historic High, Wisconsin State Journal, April 9, 2016.)
Taking a high-priced offer may seem like a no-brainer. It's easy to concentrate on the dollar signs and not see hidden costs or issues that may be lurking. Price definitely needs to be factored in, it is a vital part of the offer to purchase – but to identify your strongest offer, you need more information than just price.
Occupancy Options
Occupancy means… when does the new owner get the keys? If you're a seller and have nowhere to move, you may want to try and negotiate a later occupancy date to give you some more time to find a new place to live. On the flip side, if you already have a place to move to, try to negotiate for the same time as your new move-in date – assuming the logistics work for you.
Another option to consider is a Post Occupancy Agreement. This is when the current owner sells the home but continues to live there after the date of closing. The seller pays rent to the buyer for a pre-determined amount of time and money. This can give sellers some peace of mind that they won't have to move the day of closing, and gives some more time to find a new home.
Coming to Terms
Terms really just means where is the money coming from to pay you at closing. There are multiple ways a buyer can choose to purchase your home – a home loan, cash, or sometimes, land contracts. Since home loans and cash are the most common, we will leave out land contracts for now.
A cash buyer is always your favorite. No loan, no underwriting, no hoops. The buyer gives proof of the money, followed by one big check. If price is the same, take the cash offer over the offer with a mortgage. All day. Every day.
Not everyone is in a position to be an all cash buyer, so a home loan, or mortgage, is the most common way to finance a real estate transaction. A buyer goes to a bank, asks for money, the bank gives money, the buyer owns a house. (Of course, this is the oversimplified version.)
Do your due diligence and ask the buyer – or their agent – if they have been pre-approved and if any concerns have been flagged for the underwriting process. This is your best safeguard against a deal falling through due to financing. Regardless if it's called a pre-approval or pre-qualification, make sure your buyer has completed paperwork with a lender who checked their credit and verified their income and assets. Don't accept an online estimate based on earnings without actual verification.
But what happens if the offer with a mortgage is higher than the cash offer? Start by trying to negotiate up the cash offer. If your cash buyer won't budge, the contingencies of your mortgage buyer take on even greater importance. While the mortgage offer may be higher in price, it's typically a higher gamble.
As in any industry, cash is king with lesser risk.
Curbing the Contingencies
Contingencies are where we – and you – need to get into the weeds.
A contingency is saying, "I'll buy your house if…" For example, "I will buy your house if I have an inspector check it out and we don't find any defects", or "I will buy your house if I can get money from the bank of this amount".
If one of the contingencies does not check out the way the buyer wants, it gives the buyer potential to walk away and not buy your house. This is the power shift we talked about before. The buyer now has the power because they have options.
The most common contingencies to fail are:
- An inspection that uncovers defects
- Financing that falls through
- An appraisal that shows the value of the home lower than the offer price
How do you protect yourself from putting too much power in the buyer's hands? Reduce the number of contingencies or rights a buyer has.
The most common contingency to fail is the home inspection. This is where the buyer hires a professional to inspect the house and its inner workings. If the home inspector finds defects, the buyer may have the right to cancel the offer, unless seller and buyer can agree to fix the defects buyer objects to. (Also, see if your offer has seller's right to cure–seek advice for further explanation on this provision.) Of course, the buyer can elect not to have a home inspection. However, we don't advise this as we don't want to sell someone a defective house. Plan on seeing an inspection contingency, as roughly 90% of buyers will ask for one. If you're lucky enough to have a buyer willing to forego an inspection, this is a clear win.
We've already discussed financing, so let's move on to the appraisal contingency, which can get a bit complicated.
An appraisal contingency is added by the buyer to address their fear of overpaying. Basically it says, "If a third-party appraiser doesn't think your home is worth what I offered, I can walk away."
Appraisers are held to certain standards when arriving at their opinion of value, and they must use recently sold homes that are comparable to yours to justify their opinion. Appraisers go back no more than six months to find sold comparable homes, and in today's hot market where prices are increasing, even three month old data may not present an accurate depiction of what's happening today.
If you can, try to negotiate the appraisal contingency out before accepting an offer and discuss your particular circumstances with your Realtor. If you have to accept an appraisal contingency, see if you can minimize its power by asking the buyer to come up with more cash in the event the appraised value is below the accepted offer price. (click here for suggested language to protect yourself.)
Other contingencies we see are for radon tests, mold tests, and well and septic inspections (if the property is not connected to a municipal water system). These contingencies may be less critical to buyers, so they may be willing to forgo them if they're in competition with other buyers. Always shoot for a clean offer with the fewest contingencies.
To Include or not Include
This is pretty basic, so we won't spend much time here. Fixtures are always included, but you want to make sure all parties are clear on what constitutes a "fixture". If you're working with a lender to finance the purchase, they will have their own definition.
The best way to categorize fixtures is to think of anything physically attached to a wall such as lights, TV brackets, custom closet shelving, curtain rods, mirrors and more. The offer will have a line specifying which items are included and which are not. Don't assume. If you want to take an item with you and it's affixed to a wall, take time to exclude it.
In Summary:
- Price: While important, there is much more to the offer.
- Occupancy: It's a big concern. Find a timeline that works for both parties.
- Terms: Weigh the risks and rewards of how someone is paying for your house.
- Contingencies: Like cavities, the fewer the better, and don't underestimate them.
- Inclusions and exclusions: Keep them clear and upfront.
Everybody Wins
When you sift through everything, the point is to be prepared and know what is in front of you. Negotiating an offer really means finding agreement between buyer and seller. Get rid of the feeling of, "I must win!" The best transactions happen when both parties win. Do your work up front. Know what makes a good offer and accomplishes your goals and those of your buyer.

Holland still working on leg strength
ARLINGTON -- Still recovering from offseason knee surgery, Rangers lefty Derek Holland was back in uniform Monday at Globe Life Park, working on the strength in his left leg with some drills at first base.
Manager Ron Washington tossed grounders to Holland, who threw live batting practice for the first time this season in Arizona on Saturday.
"We're just working on the range of motion, trying to get the leg going," Holland said. "Obviously I've been doing everything running-wise, it's just more of a strength issue, making sure I stay low, bending it, pushing off of it. That's what we were trying to do."
Holland will throw a bullpen session in Arlington on Tuesday, then head for Arizona to pitch to hitters again Friday. After that, Holland will need to go on a rehab assignment and make a few starts. There is no set timetable for his return, Holland said, and he acknowledged that though his arm is 100 percent, his leg is more like 80. It will likely be late June or early July before he returns.
"I definitely feel like I'm getting closer, but I know right now if I was to ask to go play, it wouldn't happen," Holland said. "My leg's not as strong as I want it to be, so that's the big thing, we're just trying to get stronger. … I'm frustrated because I want to be out there right now. But you've got to be patient, that's probably the hardest thing about it."

Nokia E7-00 Silver, Blue, Dark Grey
Nokia E7 review: The Nokia E7 is a superbly built smartphone that has an excellent display and an outstanding keyboard, but its impressive specifications aren't enough to compete with slick and easy-to-use competitors
Nokia may be ditching its Symbian mobile phone operating system, and switching to Windows Phone 7 but that hasn't stopped the Finnish company releasing the Nokia E7, a Symbian-based smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard. The E7 smartphone is a throwback to the days of the Nokia Communicator, a device that was marketed as a mini computer. Like Nokia's flagship N8, the E7 has excellent hardware but suffers from clunky, unintuitive software.
Nokia E7 review: Design and hardware
The Nokia E7 smartphone possesses excellent hardware. It has an aluminium casing that feels excellent in your hand, and build quality feels superb. The Nokia E7 is chunky device and its hinge mechanism is difficult to quickly pry open single-handedly, but the main impression you are left with that this smartphone is very well constructed. The hinge itself is similar to the HTC Desire Z's, but it feels much sturdier. The Nokia E7 is charged via a regular microUSB port, and has a standard headphone jack and an HDMI-out port concealed by a plastic flap.
Despite its large frame, the Nokia E7's curved edges make it more comfortable to hold than Apple's iPhone 4. Nokia fans, however, will be disappointed with the lack of removable battery, and there is no external storage slot. The E7 comes with 16GB of internal memory and, like the iPhone 4, has a slide out tray that houses a SIM card.
The Nokia E7 has a 4in AMOLED 'ClearBlack' capacitive touchscreen display, which Nokia claims offers superior visibility in direct sunlight. While it can't boast the same pixel density as the iPhone 4's 'Retina' display, the Nokia E7 is definitely easier to see in direct sunlight than the iPhone and has excellent viewing angles. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the E7 is its keyboard; it's large, well spaced and very comfortable to type on. The keys themselves are rubber and provide decent tactility when pressed, though it is almost impossible to type single-handedly due to the design and weight of the E7.
Like the Nokia N8, the E7 is one of the best specified smartphones on the market. Although it lacks the N8's outstanding 12-megapixel camera and FM transmitter, the E7 still has an 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, an HDMI output, Dolby Digital sound, an excellent external speaker, and USB On-The-Go, which allows the connection of USB flash drives. A mini-HDMI-to-HDMI adapter included in the sales package allows the E7 to be plugged directly into the latest high-definition televisions, and multimedia quality (both audio and video) is excellent. The USB On-The-Go feature is also very handy. We connected a flash drive with a range of audio, image and video files — including a 30 minute DivX file — and all of them played directly off the USB device with no issues.
Nokia E7: Symbian^3 software
The Nokia E7 runs Nokia's Symbian^3 mobile operating system. Symbian^3 has improved in leaps and bounds over previous versions, making the E7 smoother, faster and easier to use than previous Nokia phones. However, the E7's interface still looks inferior to most of its competition and is clunky to use compared to the iPhone and the latest Android phones. Performance is sluggish and multitouch zooming, particularly on maps and in the browser, isn't as slick as competitors. Swiping through home screens results in a noticeable delay and transitions between menus aren't smooth. The included Web browser loads slowly and renders pages poorly. It does display Flash (which the iPhone doesn't), and there are a few nice touches, such as browser history shown as separate thumbnails. But text doesn't automatically fit the screen when zoomed and basic tasks like refreshing the page take way too many interactions on the screen. Despite Symbian^3 being a clear improvement over its predecessors, the OS just hasn't been designed with a touchscreen in mind.
Symbian^3 displays a number of live widgets across the Nokia E7's three home screens, but widgets can't be resized. A handy contacts widget allows you to add your favourite contacts to the home screen, while the included social-networking widget displays recent status updates from Facebook and Twitter. It should let you to update your Facebook and Twitter status from the home screen, but instead tapping on the widget simply opens the full client to update your status. Text is too small and can't be resized, the app is noticeably slower to load than clients on other smartphones, and the size restrictions imposed on widgets means that tapping the up and down arrow buttons to read status updates is awkward. Some of the Nokia E7's widgets have an Australian flavour, such as the News.com.au, SMH and Coastal Watch widgets, but they offer nothing we haven't seen on other smartphones.
Extra widgets can be downloaded from Nokia's Ovi Store. Though the Ovi Store has steadily improved since its release, it has far fewer apps than its competitors. There is also a distinct lack of apps that have a 'wow' factor, such as 3D games, and the store itself isn't as easy to use as its competitors. It also crashed on our Nokia E7 review unit multiple times during testing.
One huge advantage of Symbian^3 and the Nokia E7 is the preloaded Ovi Maps application, which includes a lifetime, free subscription to full turn-by-turn navigation. This is an excellent feature considering you often have to pay up to $100 for the same service on the iPhone and other smartphones. The E7's upgraded music player is also slicker than ever and displays albums in a similar "cover flow" style to the iPhone. The E7 handles multimedia better than a lot of smartphones we've tested, with sound quality a particular highlight, along with the range of file formats supported.
Unfortunately, the overall user experience offered by Nokia E7 is ultimately frustrating. The Nokia E7 is a superbly built smartphone that has an excellent display and an outstanding keyboard, but its impressive specifications aren't enough to compete with slick and easy-to-use competitors.

Baked Eggs in Avocado Cups With Feta and Mint Recipe
Whoever first thought of cracking an egg into the center of a halved avocado and baking it is a genius in my book. In this easy 20-minute meal, avocado is filled with an egg and baked on top of naan to create a decadent avocado toast that's enhanced with feta, mint, and crunchy pepitas.
Why this recipe works:
- Placing the naan on the bottom of the pan saves you the step of toasting it separately.
- Scooping out some flesh in the pit ensures that the egg fits snugly in the hole, without the yolk slipping out.
- Removing the avocado from its skin before cooking means it's much easier to eat.
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:20 minutes
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for oiling and drizzling
- 4 pieces naan or pita bread, preferably whole wheat
- 4 avocados, halved, pitted, and skins removed
- Dried red chili flakes, for sprinkling
- Ground cumin, for sprinkling
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup pepitas
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup crumbled feta, preferably Bulgarian
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons juice from 1 lemon
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Rub both sides of naan with oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. Top each piece of naan with two avocado halves. Using a spoon, scoop out a little avocado flesh from the avocado pits' holes, if necessary, to make spaces large enough for the eggs. Drizzle avocado halves with oil, then sprinkle each one with a pinch of chili flakes and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle pepitas all over naan and avocados.
Crack 1 egg into each avocado half and bake until whites are set and yolks still runny, about 15 minutes. Top with the feta, mint leaves, and lemon juice. Serve with sriracha, if desired.

As the political turmoil in Egypt continues, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she's concerned about an Egyptian military official's assertion that the current situation could lead to the collapse of the Egyptian state.
"I think that would lead to incredible chaos and violence on a scale that would be devastating for Egypt and the region," Clinton said in a CNN interview Tuesday at the State Department. "There has to be some understanding by the new government that the aspirations that the people were expressing during the revolution in Egypt have to be taken seriously. And it - it cannot in any way be overlooked that there is a large number of Egyptians who are not satisfied with the direction of the economy and the political reform."
Thousands of anti-government protesters have clashed with police and troops in three Egyptian cities, and defied President Mohamed Morsy's curfew orders. Demonstrators are upset with recent political moves by Morsy, and charge that the country's first democratically elected president is a throwback to former dictatorships.
Gen. Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt's defense minister, warned Tuesday that continued instability could have grave consequences.
"The ongoing conflict among the various political forces... may lead to the collapse of the state and threaten the future of our coming generations," he said.
Clinton said the Egyptian government needs to realize it represents all of Egyptian society and must have a constitution that recognizes the rights of all minority groups.
"I think the messages and the action coming from the (Egyptian) leadership has to be changed in order to give people confidence that they're on the right path to the kind of future they seek," she said.
The U.S. secretary of state said she knows it's not an easy transition.
"It's very difficult going from a closed regime and ... essentially one-man rule, to a democracy that is trying to be born and learn to walk. But there are some clear lessons."
Clinton, who will retire from her position at the end of the week, spent a few tense hours with Morsy last November as the Egyptian president worked with the Israeli government and the leadership of Hamas to broker a cease-fire between the Israelis and the Islamic movement in Gaza.
How pathetic that the Bankrupt US Government is further devaluing the US Dollar by printing money out of thin air and debasing our currency so they can give One Billion Dollars of Aid to the Thug run Government in Egypt.
Golly geee. She's brilliant. Perhaps clinton should have thought that and said that when SHE AND OBAMA WERE THROWING EVERYONE EXCEPT THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD UNDER A BUS !
I don't care about towel heads in Egypt or any Arabs anywhere . . . all I care about is Lucifer and israel.
I am a Lucifer worshiper and I support israel as do my brethren and my children.
israel is a light upon the world and everyone should do all they can to let israel be israel forever. You unbelievers will a to bow
We pray every Saturday to our Lord and God Lucifer to bring His Light upon the world through israel.
Let no man without the mark 666 have no food or drink. Instead, shine like israel . . . See the mark in israel's flag.
We support you israel!
democracy is failling many people and many nations! what's going on in Egypte prove to the world that the only rule that God allowed for nations of this world beside Himself(God) being the ruler is "dictatorship" when the Isralites wanted someone to rule them he gave them Saul! he said, he will take your daughters and make them his wives, he will rule over you...is that not dictatorship? i think in Africa we dont need democracy, unless an "African democracy" is adopted!
Isn't this proof that dictatorship is failing, since all of these regimes that have collapsed are dictatorships?
Sen. John Kerry in your new role of Secretary of State, please come forth, and bring common sense back to the world stage...... Possible meetings with Mr. Lavrov, Mr. Putin, the King of Jordan, Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Mubarrrak, etc., may bring information that has not surfaced to you.
It seems though no one knows, when President Obama quickly left the golf cart on the 13th hole, while golfing with Bill Clinton, a "due" political directive may have been given to President Obama that he may have detested (we saw the unique Hillary interview with President Obama several days later)................ It is reported the Walmart and Tyson money is behind the Clintons; controlling many people.
Senator Kerry, your wife is a woman of honor gong back to the days when she was growing up in Africa helping people with her parents...... Have you considered being a Presidential Candidate the next time.
Under Mr. Obama, the Americans have failed to support their faithful allay Mr. Mubarak of Egypt, who played a major role in keeping the Islamists in check. Unfortunately, now the USA, the secularists and the minorities in Egypt are paying a high price for making such awful decision!! Well done Mr President, congratulations
Democracy just does not work with arabs – it has been their way ever since their existence. They need a strongman to beat them on the head. the west is living in a illusion if it thihks otherwise.
That's it, because it's not like they are adults or anything, they need a paternal figure to tell them what to do.
What a sad situation in the whole middle east. Maybe one day enough blood will be spilled to tire all factions of fighting.
Does anyone spell check these headlines??? DevEsate?? Really?? How about devAstate.
@ tom- I did not think that- I knew they would be overly religious and trample the rights of those outside their religion. not to mention women, and others that have no religion. I hope the current regime in Egypt does collapse, it would restore my hope that the people there really want actual representation and freedom, not just the facade of one.
If Egypt is going to collapse, it will and there's not a single thing that we can do about it except to move in and occupy that country. I just hope that those idiots in Washington won't consider doing that. I'd far rather see Egypt go Communist as China eventually did in 1949!
Reblogged this on World Chaos.
Maybe we should hold on to the 200 Abrams we wanted to send them....
But it would be fun to watch.
We really thought the muslim brotherhood was going to have a real political dialogue with 100% of the countries people? Was a joke a year ago, is a even bigger joke today.
Too bad those in the administration didn't think it threw before they caused this mess. Best advice for them now would be too set down and shut up before they majesty things worse then they already have.

Some doomsayers are even predicting that we're headed for or already in another recession. What's the proper tax policy when dealing with a fragile economy? Let's see what Obama had to say on the subject two years ago.
That's right, the last thing you want to do is raise taxes in a recessionary environment, because it would suck demand out of the economy and put businesses further in a hole. So, what did cynical Captain Clueless announce today?
Obama proposes new taxes on wealthy for half of debt plan
President Obama made a defiant call on Monday for $1.5 trillion in new taxes as part of a plan to find $3.2 trillion in budget savings over the next decade, issuing his most detailed proposal yet to tame the soaring federal debt.
Abandoning earlier compromises, Obama adopted a posture that cedes far less ground in cutting the nation's social safety net and demands much more in terms of new levies on millionaires, other wealthy Americans and some industries.

What a brilliant idea, let's tax the [expletive deleted] out of the rich, you know, the same people who spend and invest money and create the jobs that we need to grow the economy out of the hole we're in now. Of course, Obama knows damn well that his proposed tax increases will never pass through Congress. Even most Democrats aren't stupid enough to vote to raise taxes in the face of a weak economy.
But Obama still proposed the tax increases anyway, even though he knows they'll never see the light of day, why? Because it's a cynical political ploy to shore up his lefty base in a futile attempt to salvage his ever decreasing chances of winning reelection. When Obama says it's not about class warfare, you can be damn sure it's all about class warfare. Hey Obama, you want everybody to pay their "fair share", how about the 50% of Americans that don't pay any taxes at all?
Obama doesn't give a [expletive deleted] about the economy and whether his words and actions make a recovery harder to achieve. The only "job" he cares about is his own. He's basically abdicated from the last 14 months of his first term as President to campaign full time for a second term, the rest of the country be damned.
Obama is like a $4 trillion ton drag, jumping up and down on the back of the economy. I can guarantee you that the second it's a done deal that Obama's on his way out, the country will breathe a huge, collective sigh of relief and the economy will take off like gangbusters again.
/until the elections, I think it's best that we just ignore Obama and practice a policy of fiscal and regulatory containment

When the traveler reaches the summit of the Nohoch Mul pyramid in Cobá, which dominates the jungle from its forty two meter height, a persistent, immense rain is unleashed, and the cardinal points are lost. The traveler contemplates the ancient Mayan city of Cobá, surrounded by 5 lakes, which had 50,000 inhabitants in its peak.
Its name is translated as "water with moss" or "water moisture", although there are authors that suggest it means "water stirred by the wind", due to its proximity to a few small lakes that have a pretty cloudy color. Other researchers of the ancient Mayan language suggest more translations, among them are "water of the chachalacas"; "tooth of the corn leaf", which also came from the Mayan words, or "abundant water".
EThe Mayan archaeological site of Cobá is located about ninety kilometers east of Chichén Itzá, and about forty kilometers east of Tulum, it has an area of about 70 square kilometers and a network of 45 roads (or sacbeob) that communicate to the different groups in the site, as well as other minor communities, which almost certainly depended on its rule.
Cobá flourished in the Classic period when it came to rule a wide region. Between 200 and 800 A.D., Cobá was one of the biggest metropolises of the Mayan world, until its great rival, Chichén Itzá, extended its rule.
The first descriptions of the archaeological site are credited to the famous travelers John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood. In 1881 Teobert Maler took the first known photograph of Cobá.
Most of the city was built in Petén style monumental architecture corresponding to the Classic period, and in the eastern coast style, belonging to the Postclassic period of the Yucatán Peninsula.
The settlement has over 6,500 structures, but the excavated area is still very small. Three groups of buildings are open to visitors. From the Cobá group, next to the site's entrance, "The Church" pyramid stands; it is a 25 meter high pyramid from to the early Classic period, which locals considered a sanctuary.
The road or sacbé 9, the widest on the site, leads to the religious group of Macanxoc, where you can visit a collection of 8 sculpted stelae, with altars and sanctuaries.
The other main group of constructions is found almost two kilometers north where you can find one of the highest buildings in the Mayan area, called Nohoch Mul which, at 42 meters high, dominates and crowns the landscape. An unforgettable view of the jungle is in store at the top.
Southeast of the Nohoch Mul is the Paintings Group, a group of buildings that was constructed during the late Postclassic period. Its name is due to the fragments of wall paintings that are preserved inside the small main temple of the group which, despite its modest dimensions, it is important because it houses the Cobá's later buildings, constructed from the keystones and constructive materials of older buildings.
Undoubtedly, Cobá is characterized by its magnificent road network. Between 200 and 600 A.D. it determined the development of agricultural and hydraulic areas, as well as the trace of inter and intraregional trading routes, which may have included control over some important ports, such as Xel Ha.
One of the most important sacbé began in Cobá: 100 kilometers long, it reached Yaxuná, which is a short distance away from Chichén Itzá. These white roads, which where coated with stucco, were not just simple routes, they were built over containment walls up to 20 meters wide and 6 meters high. The 35 roads that have been documented in this area prove that Cobá maintained close contact with the great cities of Guatemala, southern Campeche and Quintana Roo such as Tikal, Dzibanché, Kohunlinch, Muyil, Octakah, Tankah, Xel-Há, or Calakmul, building relationships with the center of Mexico and the Teotihuacán metropolis, as depicted by a platform of the Paintings Group, documented in early 1999.
After the 7th Century, the strengthening of the cities of the Yucatan Puuc, as well as the later appearance of Chichén Itzá among the sociopolitical scene of the peninsula, meant the beginning of the decline of Cobá. From the year 900 or 1000, Cobá faced Chichén Itzá to determine which city would be the dominant one and, after the loss of the Yaxuná enclave, Cobá had to bow down to the new dominant power in the region.
After the year 1,000, Cobá lost political relevance, although it appears to have kept its symbolic and ritual importance, which allowed it to recover some ground between the years 1200 and 1500, when the different Eastern Coast style buildings were constructed. At the time of the Spanish conquest, Cobá was completely uninhabited.

MIAMI – Barely a day after launching the effort to develop a county park in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood filled with children, Local 10 received offers and ideas from people all over South Florida willing to be involved.
Juan Montes, of Coastal Innovations Construction, said he instantly had a vision of what Gratigny Plateau Park could become.
"The biggest part of this is for the kids. We can do an exercise area here, you know, where you can do walking," Montes said.
Montes drove to the park Thursday in rush hour traffic from Kendall to see the park, which he and his wife have offered to help build.
"Last year, we finally got to work again. The construction industry went down, and so did we. And so, somebody helped us, and now we want to lend a hand, as well," Montes said.
Local 10 is spearheading an effort to change the park, which is currently an empty field, into a fun, safe center for the neighborhood.
After Local 10 announced the project Wednesday, emails flowed in to the station, offering help. A couple in Oakland Park offered sweat equity to clean and paint. A playground equipment retailer expressed a desire to help. And, others offered to donate what money they could.
"That's a wonderful thing to do, just for the community, especially these kids out here, because they'll be out here playing football, and now they can play other things," said Chris Paul-Etienne, who has lived beside the park for most of his life.
Paul-Etienne said secure fencing would be an important feature of the park to him.
The Miami-Dade Parks Department has already included such fencing in a rendering of a plan for the park. Officials are excited that the parcels of land the county was given by former owners decades ago will finally become a neighborhood park thanks to so many people joining Local 10's effort to make a difference.
Anyone who would like to help with the project can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
