First let me make clear that I am not a History Channel hater. I spent a year happily writing and editing entries for "This Day in the American Revolution" on their website. I have complete confidence that more people have read my prose in that forum than all my appearances in peer-reviewed journals combined.
My son's teacher let the kids forgo their nightly reading if they watched the History Channel's Mankind series' treatment of the "Age of Empire." He warned it might be gory and asked that a parent watch with each child. Thus I found myself forced to suffer through some of the worst history and worst television I have ever endured.
Thanks to clunky editing, I learned that the Pilgrims fled the Tulip bubble in the Netherlands. Salem drew the "era of fear and superstition" to a welcome close so the "wilderness" could be "tamed" from Siberia to North America by rugged, male, entrepreneurial pioneers desirous of fur. As "superstition is giving way to science," Captain James Cook, "mankind's greatest explorer . . . opened up a new continent," inhabited by "animals and plants unknown to science." Benjamin Franklin, "innovator and entrepreneur," brought the scientific revolution to "America." And the march of progress goes on.
Half-hearted attempts at political correctness made the Euro-centric, Whiggish—if not Panglossian—perspective all the more evident. Token treatment of a central African "princess" who escaped the Portuguese cannot compensate for the failure to mention Spanish slaves suffering in silver mines. Momentary mention of the Australian Aborigines' cultural sophistication fails to forgive the depiction of Mughal India in the tried and true stereotypes of the materialist and merciless "Orient."
The treatment of 1576 to 1776 proclaimed that this was an age of the opening of the wilderness, mapping of the planet, and resultant prosperity. The series, which promises "a story of triumph and overcoming, of survival on a harsh and brutal planet," requires single causal links. In the first episode of the evening, "Treasure," silver drove the "Age of Empire." No wars of religion blight this streamlined story of superstition's fall to entrepreneurial science. In the second episode, dubbed "Pioneers," superstition dies a final death at the end of a rifle and clears the path for the "Revolutions" to come. The felled forests of New Hampshire are happy motivators for colonists ready to claim their rights from the crown—no concern for the natives who once lived in that "wilderness" nor for the ecosystem the trees sustained. Captain Cook's noble desire to save scientific samples forgives his utter disdain for the Aborigines from whom he stole them.
As the episode closed, I followed my sons upstairs to bed rather than stay and watch as the "Age of Industrialization" demonstrated that "an age of new knowledge sparks a struggle for freedom" and "the spirit of rebellion is about to transform the future of mankind" embodied in the Declaration of Independence edited by "scientist turned politician" Benjamin Franklin.
My poor son had to suffer through my running rant at the screen. The teacher feared the unnecessary visual violence; I found the vapid analysis far more detrimental to young minds.

Among the many responses to Kurt Willems' defence of Rob Bell was a link to an undated article by Tim Keller on "The Importance of Hell" (thank you, Jake). Tim Keller is an outstanding pastor, but his argument about hell seems to be wrong in so many ways—exegetically, logically, theologically, psychologically, possibly even morally… but mainly exegetically. Much of the argument has been covered in recent posts, so I have kept matters reasonably concise and provided links to the relevant material. This is, admittedly, an overworked topic, and I apologize for repeating myself. But it is a good test case for the debate between Reformed and New Perspective theologies, raising important questions about the use of language and the relevance of historical context.
1. Jesus does not teach "hell" if by that we mean a place of unending torment after death
What Matthew 25:31-46 describes is a symbolic judgment of the nations, at a time when the Son of Man will be publicly vindicated, on the basis of how they reacted to the presence of Jesus' disciples ("the least of these my brothers") in their midst. It is not a judgment of the dead—that is simply an assumption that we have typically read into the passage. Both "life" and "punishment", therefore, must be interpreted in socio-political terms, with reference to the continuing existence of the nations following the vindication of the Son of Man and of the early martyr church. There will be those Gentiles who will in some manner share in the "life" of the coming age; there will be others who will be destroyed in the fire of the God's judgment of the pagan world (cf. Dan. 7:10-11), punished, or excluded from the kingdom.
The "fire of gehenna" (Matt. 5:22; 18:8-9) refers not to a universal hell but to the judgment that Jesus believed was coming upon Israel. It is an image of the massive destruction of life that would result from the Roman invasion of Judea and assault on Jerusalem (cf. Jer. 7:30-33; 19:6-8). Matthew 10:28 addresses the fears of the disciples in the same eschatological context. The image in Mark 9:48 of corpses being consumed in gehenna by worms that do not die and a fire that cannot be quenched derives from Isaiah 66:24. The dead bodies of those who rebelled against YHWH serve as a perpetual reminder to the nations and to the returning exiles of the judgment on Israel. But corpses, of course, do not feel pain. Jesus uses the image to similar effect: it forms part of his warning to the Jews of an analogous judgment to come. Keller's suggestion that he is speaking of the " 'totaled' human soul" (italics added) is a fundamental misreading of Jesus' language.
The image of an "outer darkness" where there is "weeping and gnashing of teeth" describes the exclusion of rebellious Israel from the renewed people of God. The point in Matthew 25:30 is that "worthless" disciples will find themselves in the same category when Jesus is eventually vindicated.
Keller is right to draw attention to the frequency and prominence of these motifs in Jesus' teaching. And if we changed the unbiblical word "hell" for "Hades" or gehenna or the "desolation" of Jerusalem or such like, and made some other contextual adjustments, his concluding paragraph would make reasonably good sense:
We must come to grips with the fact that Jesus said more about hell than Daniel, Isaiah, Paul, John, Peter put together. Before we dismiss this, we have to realize we are saying to Jesus, the pre-eminent teacher of love and grace in history, "I am less barbaric than you, Jesus—I am more compassionate and wiser than you." Surely that should give us pause! Indeed, upon reflection, it is because of the doctrine of judgment and hell that Jesus' proclamations of grace and love are so astounding.
2. We don't need an unbiblical doctrine of hell to show us that we are dependent on God for everything
To be apart from God in scripture is not to be consigned to hell but to be excluded from the people of God—from that community which has recovered something of the original blessing of creation, in which the creator dwells through his Spirit. It is quite possible to argue that there is no "life" that is truly human away from the presence of God without invoking the threat of eternal torment after death. Death itself is the ultimate banishment from the presence of the life-giving creator.
What Paul describes in 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12 is specifically, I would argue, a judgment on the persecutors of the early church: "God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you" (1:6). It is, therefore, a restatement of Jesus judgment of the sheep and the goats. It results in the destruction of a culture, the exclusion of violent paganism—and of violent pagans—from the presence of God. The language is apocalyptic, but the thought is entirely in keeping with Old Testament texts which speak of YHWH's preservation of his people and the defeat of their enemies.
3. The argument that hell is self-chosen is fallacious
Keller constructs an antithesis between choosing God as master and choosing autonomy. Those who choose to be "their own Saviors and Masters" are really choosing all the psychological evils that come from being "self-centered, self-absorbed, self-pitying, and self-justifying"—and therefore, so the argument goes, they are choosing hell as a final destination. But people who choose not to submit themselves to Jesus as Lord and Saviour are not choosing hell—you cannot choose something that you don't believe in. Paul argues in Romans 1:18-32 that idolatry—we might perhaps include self-idolatry—leads to sexual immorality and wickedness, but he does not suggest that pagans thereby choose the wrath of God. In any case, the wrath of God is not what we mean by hell. It refers to some "historical event or process by which a people or a nation or a civilization is 'judged' " (see Kevin DeYoung, Rob Bell, and the argument about hell).
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus addresses the precarious condition of wealthy Jews facing eschatological judgment. In context it does not speak to the whole of humanity, though it has a conventional moral core to it and can easily be recycled. Jesus asserts that it is the poor and marginalized in Israel who will be restored to the "bosom of Abraham"; the wealthy scribes and Pharisees, who have turned a deaf ear to the Law and the Prophets, will suffer the punishment of the gehenna of fire. In the end, it is only a parable. It is no more an argument for hell than the parable of the treasure in the field is an argument for buying metal detectors.
4. The doctrine of hell is not "the only way to know how much Jesus loved us and how much he did for us"
Jesus took upon himself the punishment that was Israel's. That punishment was death or destruction on a Roman cross, prefiguring the horrendous slaughter and destruction that the nation would suffer at the hands of the Romans. Jesus did not suffer the post-mortem torments of hell, whether for Israel for anyone else. It is purely speculative—actually it is purely unbiblical—to suggest that when Jesus cried out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46; Mk. 15:34), "he was experiencing hell itself", unless Keller means that metaphorically, which I doubt. Jesus invokes Psalm 22, which tells quite a different story about the anguish of Israel's king when encompassed by his enemies. Keller's argument about the metaphysics of extreme suffering is worthy of Mel Gibson and is quite unnecessary. We know that Jesus loved us because he died for us. Death is quite bad enough, thank you.

"..it is because of the doctrine of judgment and hell that Jesus' proclamations of grace and love are so astounding." -Keller
I think Tim did well. Bottom line for me is that the Lord Jesus has some extremely serious things to say about hell.
He says to some that they be better off never being born. He says to all who offend with their hand, feet, or eye to cut them off, and pluck them out. Most unbelievers mock at plucking your eye out, don't they. These words of Christ should make us cringe. But I'm afraid they don't.

MONTEREY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Liquid manure has leaked from an open-air lagoon at a western Michigan dairy farm into a creek and spread for at least five miles, the state said Monday as health officials encouraged people to stay away from the water.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality said it began investigating Friday after getting calls about a possible spill. Temperatures were in the teens Monday, and the DEQ said the cold weather helped lessen potential problems with the manure and bacteria.
"It will disperse as it goes," DEQ spokesman Brad Wurfel said.
DEQ analyst Bruce Washburn said a storm water system failure at Schaendorf dairy farm in Monterey Township, about 30 miles southwest of Grand Rapids, led to the leak into the Allegan County drain system. Manure seeped into Bear Creek and reached the village of Hopkins. Communities don't draw drinking water from the affected area, Wurfel said.
"It's going to take time to naturally flush the manure out of the stream and creeks," Washburn said. "But, the farm is also working to mitigate as much as they can at this point by pumping out water and manure downstream of where the spill occurred to the extent they can."
A valve failed between the storm water system and the lagoon, which allowed manure to back up into the storm water pipes, Washburn said. It wasn't known Monday how much manure got into the drainage system or how long the leak lasted, the DEQ said.
Washburn said farm staff stopped the flow Saturday morning. Since then, workers at the farm have been trying to pump manure out of drainage ditches. On Monday, Washburn said the water near the spill has "cleared up significantly" since it was reported and the odor of manure has dissipated.
The manure seeped into Bear Creek, which feeds into the Rabbit River, a tributary of the Kalamazoo River that eventually ends up in Lake Michigan.
Farm owner John Schaendorf, who said he was out of state at the time the spill was discovered, told TV station WXMI that crews are working to collect the manure. He said workers plugged the broken valve area with concrete so more liquid manure can't escape.
"We did make sure it isn't going to happen again," he said.
Schaendorf met Monday with the DEQ at his office to discuss the cleanup. He said the pipe where the waste was flowing was covered with snow, hiding it from view. He also said water conditions are improving in the area.
Health officials have issued a no-contact advisory for water in Bear Creek and the Rabbit River, The Grand Rapids Press reported. The advisory from the Allegan County Health Department covers the Rabbit River to where it enters the Kalamazoo River at New Richmond.
The department said Monday that fishing and other recreational activities should be postponed until the advisory is lifted. Manure spills can kill fish by boosting the growth of bacteria in the water and depleting oxygen from the water. Wurfel said so far no fish have been harmed.
The DEQ plans to coordinate cleanup and monitoring efforts with other state and local officials.
Liquid manure from farm fouls water
MONTEREY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Liquid manure has leaked from an open-air lagoon at a western Michigan dairy farm into a creek and spread for at least five miles, the state said Monday as health officials encouraged people to stay away from the water.

Audio of the 911 call a Big Bear couple placed Feb. 12 after being tied up by disgruntled ex-LAPD Officer Christopher Dorner was released Tuesday, KPCC reported.
In the partially redacted recording, Karen Reynolds tells a police dispatcher that Dorner entered a condo and held them up at gunpoint before tying them up and taking off in their truck.
"We were tied up by Dorner," Reynolds said during the 21 minute phone call.
Local news from across Southern California
Reynolds, who managed to use her cellphone while tied up to call 911, said Dorner had been armed with a rifle that had a silencer.
Complete Coverage: Manifesto For Murder
Minutes after Dorner departed, Karen Reynolds freed herself enough to get to her cellphone, calling 911 in speaker mode with her hands still bound.
She told the operator she believed Dorner had been holed up in her condo just across from the manhunt's command center during much of the search.
"I'm pretty sure he's been here the whole time," Reynolds said.
"You guys are just across from the command center?" the operator said, sounding surprised.
The couple stayed on the call while they waited for deputies. Karen Reynolds at one point falls over and groans in pain.
Dorner was an ex-LAPD police officer and former United States Navy reservist who was charged in connection with a series of shooting attacks on police officers and their families from between February 3 and 12.
Four people were killed in the shootings, including two police officers and three police officers were wounded.
Dorner was the subject of one of the largest manhunts in LAPD history that spanned two states and Mexico before he shot himself while holed up in an unoccupied cabin in Big Bear during a standoff with police.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

So what do you get when you enter a competition on the Reg? The leftovers from the Cash and Carrion bin? Whatever unboxed review kit we've managed to hide from the courier?
Or a cracking weekend for two in a luxury hotel in one of the world's liveliest cities, with a trip to Europe's most advanced chip factory thrown in. For free.
For Kevin Ellis, technical architect for a rather large British manufacturing group, it was the latter. All for absent-mindedly entering a competition sponsored by Intel on the lovely topic of Desktop Virtualisation, and winning.
So it was that Kevin, and his better half, were whisked by Vulture Air to Dublin, and installed at the glamorous Westbury Hotel which is rated even more highly than the average Andrew Orlowski story on The Register.
After a night taking in the sights of the city on the Liffey, Kevin popped into a late morning cab to be whizzed out of the city to Intel's Leixlip campus, where he was met by El Reg's own Joe Fay.
Kevin was treated to an in-depth briefing on where Intel was going with Desktop Virtualisation - which is handy, as that's what the competition was all about.
After that he was treated to an Intel lunch - like your normal, excellent Irish lunch, but even healthier - with Martin Curley, the director of Intel Labs Europe. The Leixlip labs specialise in Reg reader top topics, including cloud, enterprise IT, health, energy efficiency and security.
Kevin and Joe were then thoroughly briefed on what the manufacturing plant does. This included being handed a 12 inch silicon wafer. One of those babies has around 500 chips on it, so it's entirely possible Kevin was holding around $500,000 in his hand. For about 30 seconds.
So, we then headed off on a tour of the Fab itself. The Fab is in the midst of an upgrade, linking four existing production lines, to create one mega chip baking powerhouse
Imagine, if you will standing in a corridor in your local NHS general, pressing your nose up against a window, where on the other side you can see pods of 20 wafers a time being whizzed round the lines, with occasional interjections by mysterious bunny suited geniuses. Stirring stuff. And that's even before you think about the bleeding edge tools in the site's testing labs. We can't say too much about those, but were Blofeld ever looking for a selection of top end scientific devices to really get under Bond's skin, he could do worse than start there.
Intel has invested around $6bn in the Leixlip facility to date, and the latest $500m should keep the 360 acre former stud farm busy for years to come. Which is great, as we'd love to go back for an even closer look.
After that it was back to the airport for a quick pint of Guinness and stocking up on Tayto crisps. For Joe anyway. Kevin was whisked back into Dublin reunited with his shopped out Mrs, before a romantic dinner for two. ®

Abstract: The medical record, the collection of notes and other documents concerning a particular patient, is a time-honored and robust institutional artifact. However, with patients with chronic ailments that typically are treated and monitored by multiple clinical workers, sometimes at different institutions, the medical record is more than 'beginning to burst': it is beginning to fragment. This becomes clear from our ongoing study of the coordinative practices of clinical workers dealing with patients with 'implantable cardioverter-defibrillators' (ICDs), i.e., pacemakers that dub as defibrillators....

Good news for shareholders of Toronto-based RuggedCom, one of the world's leading makers of ruggedized networking gear for the smart grid. Facing a hostile takeover from St. Louis-based Belden Inc., RuggedCom has found a white knight in Siemens Canada Ltd., the Canadian subsidiary of German industrial giant Siemens AG.
Siemens has agreed to purchase RuggedCom for $382 million or $33 a share, compared to the $272.4 million or $22 a share offer from Beldon. It represents a 50% premium on a per-share basis and, quite frankly, Siemens is a better fit for RuggedCom and for keeping innovation in Ontario.
Siemens Canada, which is based in Burlington, Ont., has a strong and growing presence in Canada — about 4,400 employees and $3 billion in annual revenues. It is also pushing hard into the same smart grid space occupied by its main competitor, General Electric. Ontario is shaping up to become a hub of smart grid development in North America, so it makes sense for Siemens and Vaughan, Ont.-based RuggedCom to hook up.
I was the first journalist to write about RuggedCom with a story in the Toronto Star back in July 2006. Since then it has consistently grown revenues and profits, even during the downturn. "Either we're going to get acquired by a strategic peer or reach a point where we've got … a good story to take it to an IPO," company founder and CEO Marzio Pozzuoli confidently told me when we first spoke nearly six years ago. Pozzuoli, by the way, was a technology manager in GE's power management operation before deciding to leave the company to found RuggedCom. Such a good move. The successful IPO part came true in 2007, and now the strategic acquisition part is coming true with the Siemens purchase. As Pozzuoli stated today, "We have great respect for Siemens and believe RuggedCom will be well positioned for continued growth and industry leadership under their ownership."
Could RuggedCom have done it alone? Perhaps — but with the massive clout of Siemens behind it, it can do a heck of a lot better. That's just how the cleantech space is expected to be over the coming years, as startups with great technology and proven leadership seek the resources and reach of established multinationals. An added benefit to this deal is that it seems to reinforce Siemens' commitment to Ontario.

LG G3 leaks continue with a pair of new renders
A flurry of leaks shed more light on the LG G3 yesterday, giving us a couple more looks at the device itself and revealing more of its specs. Apparently the rumor mill has more to share, though, because a couple more purported images of LG's next flagship have leaked out today.
Prolific leakster @evleaks has shared two renders that allegedly show the LG G3 in black and white. The devices look fairly similar to the ones that we saw in yesterday's leaks, complete with a rounded set of rear buttons, a flash and black sensor on each side of the rear camera, an LG logo at the bottom of its face and extremely thin bezels.
We won't know if this is exactly what the LG G3 looks like until the Life's Good crew takes the wraps off of its new flagship at the end of May. The two devices shown today do seem to line up with what we've heard about the device previously, though, including a report that said that the G3 will look like the LG isai FL that made the leaky rounds last month.
Based on what we know of it so far, what do you think of the LG G3? Are you interested in checking it out once it officially lands on store shelves?

Hello everyone!
I am trying to get the hold on Jframes and I can so far create a simple window:
package javvv; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; //package javvv; public class Javvv { /** * Create the GUI and show it. For thread safety, * this method should be invoked from the * event-dispatching thread. */ private static void createAndShowGUI() { //Create and set up the window. JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JLabel emptyLabel = new JLabel(""); emptyLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480)); frame.getContentPane().add(emptyLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER); //Display the window. frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); } public static void main(String[] args) { javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { createAndShowGUI(); } }); } //Ignore this for now. public void paint (Graphics g) { Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g; int x = 0; int y = 0; } }
And that works fine.
But I want to be able to draw for example a rectangle on it so I tried to create a class for that which takes the inputs of x, y and the sides.
NOTE: I took the code for creating a rectangle from a websire./* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ package Square_class; import javax.swing.JFrame; public class Square { private int x; private int y; private int side1; private int side2; /**The variables for the rectangle */ public Square(int x, int y, int side) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.side1 = side1; this.side2 = side2; } /* Draw the rectangle in the window*/ public void draw(JFrame frame){ frame.g2.draw(new Rectangle2D.Double(x, y, side1, side2)); } }
But I dont know what to do from now on.
I want to be able to just write, after I have called the Square class:
Square(the x-position,the y-position, the side1, the side2)
My code might be a bit messy... But I hope you understand what I need help with.
thank you in advance!

Dear David,
I live in New York. What are your suggestions for the things I might do in in the New Year to expand my life and make it more interesting? I don't have a lot of money.
~Going For It
Dear Going For It,
Number one, get stronger. Even if it's just walking around the block a couple of times everyday, or running outside if you can. Use the stairs everywhere possible. Get stronger all the time. You'll need it as your life gets more interesting!
How about meditating? I do twenty minutes every morning and it kind of balances you and prepares you for the day.
How about an adult education class? Particularly if you want to meet some new people. Something like Spanish, cooking or whatever interests you.
And something to do outside of New York ~ if you get a little money take a trip to South America. I LOVE Montevideo, Uruguay. I live there part of the year. And Buenos Aires, Argentina is just across the river ~ a very glamorous city. You could go to Rio do Janeiro, the most beautiful city in the world in my opinion. It's not really dangerous and you'll get a whole new point of view on the world. You'll start seeing New York in a new way.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Calling his campaign of four years ago an "embarrassment," District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray nevertheless made a forceful case Saturday that he's earned the opportunity to serve another term.
Gray's 2010 campaign against then-mayor Adrian Fenty was rife with criminal activity, resulting in four guilty pleas by aides to Gray in two separate schemes to help get him elected. Federal prosecutors continue to investigate the mayor, who has not been accused of a crime, and his ties to a businessman who's suspected of boosting Gray's bid with $650,000 in illicit funds.
"I know that the 2010 campaign caused many people great pain, and I know that our city — because I was among them — suffered embarrassment," Gray said as he launched his re-election bid. "So today, I want to apologize to you. I want to apologize for the pain that my campaign — my campaign — caused. And I want to ask for your forgiveness for what happened."
The remarks earned a partial standing ovation and chants of "Four more years!" from the few hundred supporters who packed inside an auditorium at an arts and recreation center in southeast Washington.
Ambrose Lane Jr., a real estate developer based in northeast Washington, said the mayor's apology showed his strength of character.
"It takes a very strong leader to say, `I'm sorry,"' Lane said. "(New Jersey) Gov. (Chris) Christie went through a whole diatribe and never said the words, `I'm sorry."'
The mayor was swarmed by well-wishers after his nearly 30-minute speech, but he did not answer reporters' questions. Campaign manager Chuck Thies said the mayor's time was better spent interacting with voters.
The Democratic primary is April 1, leaving the mayor with little time to make his case to voters. His challengers include four D.C. council members with bases of support in different parts of the city. The field of candidates, Gray's shaky popularity and the unusually early primary date raise the possibility that a winner could emerge with a small plurality of voters amid low turnout.
The Democratic nominee has gone on to win every general election since the District of Columbia was granted self-rule in 1973. But this year could bring an unusually competitive general election, with independent D.C. council member David Catania exploring a mayoral bid.
Gray, 71, a veteran public servant, rode a wave of dissatisfaction with Fenty, particularly in the African-American community, to victory in 2010. He ran up huge margins in neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River, where he lives and where poverty and unemployment rates are much higher than in the rest of the city.
Gray argued Saturday that future economic opportunity was more important to voters than the misdeeds of his underlings, characterizing his previous campaign as old news.
"It is time to turn the page. I know that some journalists and our opponents want you to focus on the past," Gray said. "I know they that they care about ratings and selling newspapers. But you know what I care about, ladies and gentlemen? I care about you, and moving the city forward."
Playing to his base, Gray said he was committed to extending the city's prosperity to struggling neighborhoods while protecting longtime residents from gentrification.
"Today, people who move into the District of Columbia because it offers opportunity and a wonderfully diverse culture, we welcome them," Gray said. "But we cannot forget those who held our city together."
Gray argues that under his watch, the city has made strides in education, economic development, fiscal stability, public safety and environmental stewardship. The city ended last fiscal year with a $400 million surplus, and the mayor has replenished the city's reserve fund. The city is gaining more than 1,000 new residents a month, according to Census figures, and once-neglected neighborhoods have been transformed into high-rent districts with bustling nightlife.
Critics, however, say the mayor's policies have little to do with the city's resurgence.
Gray has largely kept in place the school reforms implemented under Fenty, including a strong emphasis on standardized testing and firing teachers for poor performance. The district enjoyed big gains this year on the federally administered tests known as the Nation's Report Card. However, the gaps between black and white students are among the nation's highest, and many public schools in less affluent neighborhoods continue to struggle.
The city's electorate is reliably liberal, with Democrats making up 76 percent of voters and Republicans stuck at 6 percent, and the candidates have many similarities on policy.
The four council members challenging Gray say they are more suitable for office, for different reasons. Tommy Wells has been outspoken on ethics, saying the mayor should be disqualified from consideration because of his 2010 campaign. Muriel Bowser has touted herself as an energetic leader in the Fenty mold. Jack Evans has pointed to his experience as the longest-tenured councilmember. And Vincent Orange is running a populist campaign, painting the mayor as too friendly to big business.

Henri is a vampire who appears in Breaking Dawn - Part 2. He is the leader of the French coven, with only Yvette being his coven mate. He is an exclusive character in the movie, and does not exist in the novels.
He is portrayed by Amadou Ly in the movie adaptation.
Breaking DawnEdit
Henri and his mate, Yvette, are ordered to witness the Volturi's plan of laying punishment on the Cullen family for "breaking" the ultimate law: creation of an immortal child, who later turns out to be a vampire hybrid. He and his mate remain in the back as they observe the occasion.
In Alice's vision, a battle is commenced by Aro's refusal to retreat and triggered by Carlisle's death: Henri is working with the Volturi's guards to kill Bella. When Benjamin opens a large fissure in the ground, the guards fall in from behind, allowing Bella to free herself from Henri's grip and kick him down the pit. Since the battle is prevented, his life is spared.
Physical appearanceEdit
Henri is noted to have dark skin and black curly hair, and to be of African descent.
Film portrayalEdit
Henri is portrayed by Amadou Ly in Breaking Dawn - Part 2.[1]
Amadou has said in an interview that he can easily relate to his character to as far as someone who is trying to put his life together and succeed in life.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'mourmand' tag.
On April 24th 2001, Mr. Francois Mourmand is arrested and detained pending the Outreau investigation, on the request of the investigative judge Burgaud. In July 2001, he filed a complain for false allegation. On June 9th 2002, he was found dead in his cell of the jail of Douai. The Outreau investigation resulted in a unprecedented miscarriage of justice. Finally, criminal courts acquitted 13 defendants in 2004 and 2005.
On June 11th 2002, an investigation on the cause of the death was opened by an investigative judge. According to the toxicology tests, his death was caused by psychiatric medications. Medical experts found that psychiatric medications were prescribed in unusually high levels and no medical record was found to justify these levels. On January 9th 2007, the sister of the deceased, Ms. Lydia Mourmand filed a complain for "involuntary manslaughter" to the investigative judge. On March 4th 2011, the chamber of investigation of the appeal court of Douai confirmed the decision of the investigative judge to close the case without charging any suspect.
On January 23rd 2007, Ms. Lydia Mourmand and her father filed an application to the ECHR on the ground that the life of Mr. Francois Mourmand in jail was not protected and the investigation on the cause of his death was too slow, both violation of article 2 of the Convention. They added the conditions of his detention and the lack of proper healthcare in jail were a violation of article 3, his detention pending investigation for more than 13 months a violation of article 5, the lack of investigation following his complain a violation of article 6-1, the discrimination for belonging to the traveller community a violation of article 14 and lack of remedy on these violations a violation of article 13. On November 9th 2009, the application was communicated to the agent of the French Republic.
On August 30th 2011, the 5th section of the Court strike out the application on the ground that the French Republic offered a settlement of €20,000 to the applicants who accepted it. The French Republic didn't recognize any violation of the Convention. On November 3rd 2011, the applicant deplored to have sign the settlement because she is "semi-illiterate".
On January 18th 2006, the applicant was interviewed by congressmen during the congressional inquiry into the Outreau investigation.

At a recent Duval County School Board meeting, the Jacksonville Progressive Coalition presented 1,600 surveys of which 92 percent of the individuals surveyed were in favor of changing the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest High School. I do not disagree with the idea, considering Forrest's unspeakable war crimes during the Civil War, including the execution of surrendered soldiers, and his post-war co-founding of the Ku Klux Klan. However, I would like to bring to your attention that Forrest High School isn't the only place in Jacksonville with a name that might be perceived as offensive.
bb's: The popular Southbank restaurant—with the drool-inducing dessert case—shares its initials with innocuous abbreviations like "bearded bro," "best buddy" and "bulletin board." But others found on Urban Dictionary ... are far less savory.
Burro Bar: "Burro" is a synonym for "ass," so Burro Bar = Ass Bar.
Broad Street: While I personally don't have a problem with it, the word "broad" is considered by some to be degrading to women. Some less offensive replacements might be: Lady Street, Gentlewoman Street or Female Street (that's "Femella," as you may have learned in Latin class, preferably not in a school named for a war criminal).
Felch Avenue: If you really want to know why "Felch" is a horrible name for a street, check out its definition on Urban Dictionary. Consider yourself warned. Seriously.
Jaxx Sports Sports Bar: Besides the fact that adding a second "X" to "Jax" serves no real purpose, Tristan Jaxx is the name of a gay porn star. He has an, ahem, lengthy filmography with titles including "Fleet Week," "Best Men," "Endless Crush" and others not appropriate to repeat here.
Nero's: Nero was a Roman emperor. He also seduced married women and young boys, killed innocent people for no reason, castrated slaves ... oh, and murdered his mother. He's also believed to have started The Great Fire of Rome. Enjoy your spaghetti.
Pho King (now PK Noodles): Diners who knew the proper pronunciation of the Vietnamese word "pho" often got a chuckle of suggesting Pho King (aka "Fuh King") to friends. Apparently, someone alerted the owners the faux (pho?) pas, and the restaurant's name was changed to PK Noodle, though Pho King is still on the sign (see gallery above).

British pub visitors will soon be able to 'sample' the Olympic' competitive spirit, by battling each other at the urinal in a micturation-managed game, the 100ml Dash.
Captive Media - the firm behind the bladder-emptying title Clever Dick - is fitting various bars across Europe with more piss-powered action to celebrate the London Olympics.
Participants control the game by aiming their streams at targets in the urinal. It's a piece of piss, I tell 'ee.
With the race finished, players can upload their 100ml Dash scores using a smartphone, or post it to their Twitter feed. I'm sure all followers will tweet in amazement at the triumphant tackle with sentiments such as "What a dick!"
I usually stand proud in the urinal, smug that the only competition is that horse-hung giant from sales, but this'll sure give the little guys scope to win one battle while relieving themselves.
And we should all be pleasantly surprised that while the Olympic Games continues to take the piss, it does so here without regular punters spending a penny. In the financial sense, at least. ®

Exactly one month from today, the 2014 Chapter One Young Writers Conference will take place! I know I've been flooding you with Ch1Con stuff lately, so I'm not going to ramble too much about it now. But know that I am very excited, and if you're a young writer looking for something to do Saturday, June 14th and/or Sunday, June 15th, you should register for the conference here.
This past Sunday was Mother's Day. I got my (wonderfully impacted) bottom wisdom teeth out Friday morning, so I spent the entire weekend hopped up on Vicodin and unable to eat solid foods. Proof that my mother is amazing: She spent the entire weekend changing my ice packs and making me mushy food and getting up in the middle of the night to make sure I took my medicine.
This is just one of the zillions of great things my mom has done for me. I have no idea what I'd do without her.
So, as a thank you to my amazing madre, this week's Wordy Wednesday is a song I wrote about her. (I was planning to put a video up on Youtube, but my mouth is still too swollen to sing. Sorry!)
VERSE1 [C, G, Am, F]
So this is a kind of funny story
And it might get a little folklore-y
But we're talking guts and glory here
This is the story of a superhero
And everyone should know her name
There's no need to explain
But I will anyway
And I am just so thankful
To have you in my life
Don't know what I would do
Without you
And I am oh so grateful
To have you here today
Don't you know you are the very best
Madre mi Madre
You helped me with my homework,
Proofread every story and give me tough love
All the many times I need it
You have such a giving heart,
It really sets you apart
And almost all my memories have you,
Because of the great things you do
You deserve to be remembered,
Every single day of the year
[Repeat CHORUS]
BRIDGE [Am, F, C, G]
And I could spend a million years
Talking about how great you are
You do everything,
Even bought your not-musically-inclined daughter a guitar
[Repeat CHORUS]
Also, protip: Don't wear a shirt with a tight collar when you have oral surgery. You will not be able to take it off while you're all swollen and sensitive, therefore leaving you with no choice but to wear the disgusting thing for a week straight. (Ugh.)

Tripping the art fantastic
Installations, sculptures, walk-in art: Other cities shut them away in galleries and museums, but in Nantes, you meet them every step of the green line
The Great Elephant trumpets loud and long. Then it hisses, issues a many-voiced squeal and falls silent. The star of Nantes is a monster 12 meters tall made of wood and iron. Lumbering across the extensive parkland on the Loire river island l'Île de Nantes, it sways its hydraulic trunk from side to side, spraying water into the crowd and making children shriek.
In 2007, artists François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice began building a zoo of mechanical animals for the city of Nantes. Gigantic creatures now march, crawl or roll across the former shipyard premises and the Sea World Merry-go-Round, a panopticon of mythical sea creatures, charms children and grown-ups alike. The artists took their inspiration for the park from Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of mechanical creatures and the technical fantasies of Jules Verne, who grew up in Nantes.
When Orefice and Delarozière arrived, the five square-kilometer l'Île de Nantes island was not a pretty picture. Its shipyards had gone bankrupt or moved elsewhere more than a quarter of a century earlier, and all that was left were dilapidated buildings, broken windows and abandoned squares and streets – a vast industrial wasteland. "It was a spooky place where nobody went, even during the day," recalls arts manager Jean Blaise, who has been trying to resurrect the city since the 1990s. "The decline of the shipbuilding industry was a tragedy for this city. Many people lost their jobs and Nantes lost its center." Then, at the turn of the millennium, the mayor Jean-Marc Ayrault, who later served a term as prime minister of France, decided to revitalize Nantes' river island.
His plan was for art and culture to rehabilitate the district, but unlike the mayors of Bilbao and Lyon, who spent millions on prestigious architecture, Ayrault trusted in the ideas put forth by Orefice and Delarozière, who were already well known for their street theater productions. "At first, the public thought that building an artistic amusement park was a very obscure idea," says Orefice, speaking from his office in the forecourt of a shipyard building. Many would have preferred to see the money otherwise invested. "But the elephant soon won people's hearts," the artist adds.
Many locals had not set foot on the island in years when the Machines de l'Île creatures were unveiled. Now, some of the former industrial halls house offices and the city's art school, and there's a new justice building designed by architect Jean Nouvel on the riverbank. Ayrault's dream has become reality: The new l'Île de Nantes district has become the city's heart, the mechanical creatures its pacemaker.
The Compagnie La Machine is an internationally sought after forge for the production of exotic gadgets and apparatus, like the computer-controlled, fire-spewing dragon it produced for the Chinese city of Xiamen. The universe of mechanical creatures is also expanding in Nantes, which will soon have a 30-meter-tall artificial tree with branches you can walk on and where real flowers, shrubs and smaller trees will grow. Flocks of mechanical birds and insects will populate and circle this biotope, many of them big enough to ride. "You have to view the world through the eyes of a dreaming child to come up with ideas like these," says Orefice. When the 35-million-euro project is completed in three years, he hopes it will become Nantes' new and undisputed landmark. "Our Eiffel Tower," as Orefice puts it.
Every year in July and August, Jean Blaise hosts Voyage à Nantes, an outdoor festival at which installations, exhibitions and performance art turn the city into an enormous open-air gallery. Blaise' vision, his big idea, is to democratize art. "Art shouldn't be locked away in a museum where only a fraction of the population goes," he says.
The more than 50 works of art are connected by a ligne verte, a neon-green line ten kilometers long that has been sprayed onto the asphalt and guides visitors through the city. Following its twists and turns is like playing a game that takes you from one universe to another. If you start at Place Royale in the old town, the green line will lead you from a shopping district into quiet side streets, past cafés and specialty shops and back into the hubbub of big-city streets. It plays with visitors' attention and with the topography of the city. After seeming to follow a straight course down a broad boulevard in the center of town, it suddenly turns a corner and disappears through a gap between modern buildings. On the other side, you come upon what looks like a traditional village, a small cluster of whitewashed houses, their walls crooked with age, each with a little garden blooming out front. Right next door, another glass office tower looms into the sky. If it weren't for the green line, many visitors would never know about this magical little universe.
The idea is to flood the city with art, even the asphalt
The close connection between art and the city is visible all along the green line, and sometimes the two even fuse into one. On broad Boulevard Léon Bureau, for instance, crosswalk lines snake playfully across the street. "Traverses" (crossings) is film director and artist Aurélien Bory's project. "The idea is to flood the city with art, even the asphalt," Blaise explains. Maintaining a certain playfulness is important to him and appreciated by the public. When the festival ends, some of the installations are left standing to become part of the cityscape. Feydball, for instance, is a soccer pitch right in the middle of town near Carré Feydeau. But playing there involves running and shooting around corners rather than in a straight line because the pitch is not rectangular but curved like a bow. In a mirror distorted to match the curvature of the pitch, spectators can watch a straightened version of the game. All the playing-field lines are optically correct, only the players and the ball are distorted. Another example is the Ping Pong Park on l'Île de Nantes, an arrangement of ping-pong tables, some of them oddly shaped, with five sides, say, whereas others force you to play around a corner. A third tabletop in bold turquoise curves upward in a loop.
Art in Nantes, however, is restricted neither to the green line, nor even to the city. It extends along the Loire toward the Atlantic as far as the river mouth at Saint-Nazaire. Works by French and international artists line the estuary for more than sixty kilometers, alternately surprising, confusing and amusing visitors. Now a permanent fixture, these artworks also originated during a festival and were the brainchild of Jean Blaise. Most of them are best viewed from the water, best of all from the deck of the small ferry that travels back and forth between Nantes and Saint-Nazaire from April to October.
One of the artworks, "La Maison dans la Loire," is a house that appears to be floating at a tilt in the middle of the river, looking uncannily real and at the same time a thing of fantasy. A sailboat built by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm lies stranded a couple of kilometers away. Although out of the water, it looks remarkably viscous, as if it had somehow absorbed the watery element on dry land. At any rate, it flops over the end of the dock as if wanting to join the other boats tied up nearby.
The final work of art along the river is the "Serpent d'Océan," a sculpture by Franco-Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping. The primordial-looking giant skeleton lurks among the Atlantic waves within sight of the beach at Saint-Nazaire. Parts of the spine and skull appear and disappear with the ebb and flow of the tide, as if, upon closer inspection, this spectacular serpent were in fact nothing but an illusion. Sooner of later, every visitor to Nantes and the surrounding area will come to realize that you cannot quite trust your eyes. Look again. And again. And perhaps a third time. You're bound to discover something wonderfully fantastic.

If you are a young, plump child with a sweet tooth then Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory is the place for you. If you are an architect or architecture student looking to make moves, head to Taubman College's newest addition, Liberty Lofts.
Liberty Lofts is located on the west side of Ann Arbor and hosts a wide range of events and services for the architecture program. The old auto factory (maybe) was originally purchased in order to give the school's faculty more flexible office and research spaces. It has since morphed into a flexible space used by the school for not only faculty research, but also school events, presentations and student reviews.
Just as Frank Lloyd Wright had Taliesin West as a winter escape to the Arizona desert, Taubman College has Liberty Lofts. An escape from the office, the classroom and the studio. The good news for us is we don't have to trek across the desert to get there.
In recent months Liberty Lofts has played host to the school's "Research Through Making" faculty presentations and exhibition, 2012 Thesis reviews, MS_DT final reviews and until recently has been the headquarters for the design and construction of the school's 5fellows installations for this years Venice Bienalle.
I had the privilege to assist in the recent 5fellows Venice Bienalle work and spent almost a month straight doing everything from cutting wood on the chop saw, assembling installation mock-ups, building shipping crates the size of efficiency apartments and walking around with endless amounts of 2x4's.
All of this work was done at Liberty Lofts with other professors and students all around. Some working on building installations, while others are working in more office conditions along the side windows. Whatever people are working on, there is always lots of creative energy floating around.

I am a graduate student and an entrepreneur at the University of Michigan Taubman College where my studies are focused on leveraging design ideas across multiple scales and platforms. Meeting at the intersection between design, tectonics and fabrication, I am continually exploring how a design idea can navigate complex material and production systems and evolve into fully realized architectural artifacts.

This is the official sydney grade thread
Go North Sydney!!
This is the official sydney grade thread
Go North Sydney!!
Couple of moves from out Campbelltown...
Last years star, Jarrad Burke has moved back to Penrith.. He Started at Campbelltown then went to Penrith then came back to Campbelltown now has gone back to Penrith... He will be a huge loss... Im tipping him to play for NSW this year.. Mot likely ING Cup..
Former captain Brett Van Deisen has gone to Bankstown..
Both are big blows to Campbelltown but with last years Green Shield side winning the competition, hopefully a few of the young guys will step up...
Phatphanak and Hayward have to step up I can reveal ND's fast bowler of 10 years and 3 years best first grade player in a row has signed with Mosman
Pathanak is one freakish kid... I remember watching him when he was 12 and it was amazing.. His strokeplay was crazy for a kid that age, and if i didnt know how old he was i would've sworn he was at least 16-17... If he handles the step up which i think he will he will be a huge asset.. Definatley has NSW and Possibly future Australian writen all over him...
What are the crowds like for these games?
yeh Phathanak is an absolute freak and hayward is pretty quick they will probably be in 1st grade this year joined possibly by scott coyte brother adam who is an absolute freak as well very quick and a very good bat campbelltown are producing some very good cricketers.
The Crowds depends at one Manly game last year under lights I think they got 7-10 thousand but at some matches you just see maybe 100-200
David Warner averaged mid 50's this year i think i saw somewhere, he could well get a rookie contract next season.

age_master who do you play for?
Wouldn't be surprised to see mark higgs,graeme rummans, and nathan pilon back in sydney grade next year,stgeorge are chasing pilon and rummans,and higgs was tipped to come back to NSW 12 months previous.Anyone know if shaun heaney will stick with the saints next year,hope so.
Pilon would be a good get for St George, would almost certainly get some gametime with the Blues this year when Haddin is playing for Australia.
who would you prefer pilon or smith? rummans and pilon have been talked about for a while didnt no about higgs though would he go back to nd's
I know a guy who has played with Smith and he thinks hes an idiot (not his words but you get the point) so i would go for Pilon.
Ive played againast him three times.Originally Posted by Blewy
Once in emerging blues and scored 50 and retired before i could even come on
Second time he scored 156, with the only reason he got out was due to cramping.
Third time i think he scored either 199 or 200 but was dropped twice.
Not fun bowling to him.
Also have faced Hayward which was quite scary. I didnt wear a helmet to look cool and i remember him eyeing me up with glee
Also faced the former fastest u13yr old in Australia last year. Even though im much older he was bloody fast

With this whole Thanksgivukkah business, it seems like everyone's doing the holidays a little bit differently this year. So I'm sharing two of the most traditional Chanukah recipes I know for those who want to celebrate not doing things differently.
Dear Readers,
As usual, I'm using the holiday to do things a little bit differently for the column, though it seems like with this whole Thanksgivukkah business, everyone's doing the holidays a little bit differently this year. So today's column is actually an ode to not doing things differently. I'm using this as my opportunity to share the two most traditional and most delicious Chanukah recipes that I know and that are likely to exist. When it comes to latkes and applesauce, I have no desire to try anything new. I love both sweet potatoes and spinach, but I don't want them in my latkes. I think cranberry applesauce sounds like the perfect Thanksgivukkah condiment, but seriously, I'm not messing with this recipe.
I'm going to be busy on Thanksgiving, so I'm pre-writing this. I'll be with my in-laws for the holiday, so my parents came to visit a few days beforehand, and they're sitting in my living room as I write this. (The life of a blogger — nothing is, apparently, too meta.) Though we won't be together to eat these perfect Chanukah foods, I can share my parents' recipes in their honor and in honor of the traditional traditions that just taste like tradition.
Ingredients from my dad, description from my memory
2 eggs
1/2 small onion
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups cubed raw potato
(I also have a note that says, "4 potatoes, 3 Tbsp. flour," so do with that what you will)
Wash and peel the potatoes. Make sure you have either 1) a food processor, or 2) a hand grater, and a) super strong arm muscles, or b) a lot of people to help.
I'm going to proceed as if you have the food processor because honestly, the effort might not be worth it otherwise: Use the grater attachment to grate the potatoes. Move them to a bowl in batches as the food processor bowl fills up. Once the potatoes are all in a big mixing bowl, grab a big handful of grated potatoes and the onion and put it in the food processor with the normal chopping blade. Mix the two consistencies of potato together and add all the remaining ingredients.
Notice that "oil" is not in my list of ingredients. Oops. Get yourself a big bottle of vegetable oil, and don't be shy. A cast iron pan is ideal for frying. A stainless steel frying pan is good, too, and a non-stick frying pan will suffice if it's the only option. The stainless will be the hardest to clean and will probably result in the biggest mess, but non-stick just doesn't get quite the right crust on the outside.
Heat up enough oil so that the bottom of the pan is fully coated and then add a little bit. Expect your first batch to fall apart and eat them immediately in the privacy of the kitchen so that none of your guests have to be burdened by the misformed amazingness. Form patties with your hands or between two spatulas, squeezing out any liquid as you go. You can also use a spoon and press the batter against the side of the bowl before dropping in the pan. Wait for the sides of the latkes to become obviously brown and then flip carefully to avoid oil splatters and having your latkes turn into hashbrowns. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Devour immediately with…
I learned this one from my mom. What a blessing to know that one of the best foods on earth only has one actual ingredient:
(The guy at the farmer's market says to use a mixture of varieties. Use as many as you can; it freezes beautifully.)
Wash and peel the apples. Cut into chunks and put into a stock/soup pot. Put in enough water to cover the bottom of the pan by about an inch. Last time I did this, I used about 6 apples and 2 cups of water. You shouldn't be able to see the water over the apples.
Turn the burner on high until the water boils, then turn down to simmer and let it go. If this is the first time you're making applesauce, check it frequently to be sure you have enough water so that it's not burning. You can also stir frequently so that all the apples end up having the same consistency. Plus, it's fun to watch them break down and transform before your eyes. They should be in the pot for about 45 minutes, but really, when it starts to look, smell and taste like applesauce, you're good to go. If it turns out you put in too much water, you can drain some of it off before the next step.
Either an immersion blender or a potato masher will help get the right consistency, depending on whether you like chunky applesauce or not. You can add sugar if you feel the need. You can add cinnamon to give a little more complexity of flavors. You can also eat it just the way it is, plain or on latkes.
Happy Chanukah, happy Thanksgiving, happy once in 70,000 years, and happy eating the foods that just feel right for the holidays.
Be well,
P.S. I'm online editing my blog on Thanksgiving night because I have to say this: My mother-in-law served sweet potato latkes today, and they were totally amazing. Here's hoping everyone had a celebratory and (ful)filling day with family and/or friends, and that whatever you ate, it was delicious.

10 Quick Protein-Packed Meals For Your Weightlifitng Workouts
October 9, 2009 by Shaun
Filed under The Fitness Bug
It is Friday again Stay-Fit Buggers and can't believe how quickly this week has gone. That maybe good or bad thing for you, never the less, it is the weekend and for most of you that will put a smile on your face.
Most of this week I have talked about various topics regarding foods for fitness and today I will end it in style by giving you 10 great recipes for a protein packed dinner.
I know… I know! It is Friday and some of you will want to take it easy, break the rules and go for a take away. But on your average day, these are the recipes you can cook up to refill those protein nutrients that your body will need when you are in a weightlifting workout. The best part about these meals is that they only take approximately 20 minutes to prepare.
Preparing a large dinner should never be looked at as a chore. It is the perfect opportunity to feed your soul, relax, ponder, recuperate and awaken your senses.
Grilled Chicken with Wasabi Sauce
This was introduced to me when I was out for dinner one night, and it was recommended to me, as I am a fan of Wasabi. Yum Yum!
Taste: Spicy
Difficulty to cook: Intermediate
- Combine minced garlic
- 1/2 cup of rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of mirin (Find in the international food aisle)
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon of wasabi powder, and salt and pepper.
Brush chicken with oil and grill. Warm the wasabi mixture and pour it on the chicken; Top it off with chopped scallions and cilantro.
At the start of the week I talked about fish being the main source of brain food because of the fish oil and omega 3 contained within it. You can take your pick with the next few recipes for when you want to have a fishy fueled evening.
Grilled Cod with Basil Dipping Sauce
Difficulty to cook: Intermediate
To make the sauce combine
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 table-spoons of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 Thai chili (seeded and thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup of sliced fresh basil.
- Season 1 pound of cod with salt and pepper.
Cook, turning once. The fish will be done in 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Serve with the sauce.
Grilled Swordfish with Fruit Salsa
Taste: Spicy
Difficulty to cook: Beginner
For the salsa
- Mix 1/2″ chunks of papaya, mango, pineapple, and/or watermelon
- 1/2 cup each diced pepper (any color) and red onion
- 2 tablespoons of minced chilies
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 3 tablespoons of lime juice, and some salt
Sprinkle swordfish with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 minutes, turn, and cook until done. Serve with salsa and lime wedges.
Grilled Tuna Steak with Corn and Tomato Relish
Difficulty to cook: Intermediate
To make the relish, heat,
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet
- Cook kernels from 4 ears of corn until lightly browned for about 2 minutes.
- Add 2 chopped tomatoes with some salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne
Cook for 30 seconds and remove from the cooker. Sprinkle the tuna with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, to desired finish. Serve with the relish.
Grilled Beef Salad with Mint
I've included mint, as it has become a personal favorite addition to some of my meals, ever since I first tasted it on lamb at a Christmas dinner many years back. But it also goes together well will grilled beef in this spicy recipe.
Taste: Spicy
Difficulty to cook: Intermediate
- Cook 1 pound of beef tenderloin to medium rare for about 10 minutes.
- Toss 4 cups of lettuce with 1 cup of torn mint leaves,
- 1/4 cup of minced red onion, and 1 diced cucumber.
- Whisk together the juice of 2 limes
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne, and 1 tablespoon water
Slice beef thinly and add juices to the dressing. Serve sliced beef over salad and sprinkle with dressing.
Thai-Style Stir-Fried Pork
I will forever be a fan of Thailand and Thai-food, so I couldn't leave this one out. This is one of the easiest of the bunch to prepare, so for all of you rubbish cooks reading… this is for you.
Difficulty to cook: Easy
- Cut 1 pound of pork shoulder into bite-sized pieces
- Cook in 1 tablespoon of peanut oil until no longer pink for about 3 minutes
- Remove
- Cook 11/2 tablespoons of minced garlic for 10 seconds
- Add 1 pound of chopped spinach
- Cook until just wilted
- Add the pork
- 2 tablespoons of Thai fish sauce
- The juice of 1/2 a lime.
Stir and serve.
Lamb Medallions with Shallots, Tarragon, and Red Wine
I've talked about alcohol before in previous articles, but this is a recipe where the alcohol will benefit you. It has been stated before that red wine can give you health benefits and this is a recipe where you can take advantage of that.
Difficulty to Cook: Beginner
- Cut 1 pound of lamb loin into 3/4″-thick rounds and sprinkle with salt and pepper
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and cook lamb until both sides are browned for 4 to 5 minutes
- Remove lamb
- Add 1 tablespoon of minced shallots and cook for 2 minutes
- Add 1 teaspoon of minced tarragon and 1/2 cup red wine; reduce liquid by half
Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and any lamb juices from under the resting meat. Serve lamb with the sauce.
Pasta Carbonara
This too was introduced to me, and again, is another easy recipe for you 'not so good' cooks reading this. Pasta, in general, can also be great for repairing your muscles after a workout.
Difficulty to cook: Beginner
- Fry 4 ounces of bacon (about 8 strips), then drain and chop
- Beat together 2 eggs and 1 cup of grated Parmesan
- Cook 1 pound of spaghetti in salted boiling water until tender but firm
- Drain pasta and toss with the egg mixture. (Don't worry; residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs)
Add bacon and lots of fresh cracked pepper.
Black-Bean and Beer Soup
I know some of you are a fan of 6 pac(k)s, and not the kind that we usually talk about here on stayfitbug.com. Because of this recipe you now get to down a pint without the beer mug. Black beans are also some of the best beans you can get. Have a read of killer foods for fitness to see how to choose the best beans for this cheap and cheerful meal.
Difficulty to cook: Beginner
- In 2 tablespoons of hot oil, cook a chopped onion until softened for about 5 minutes
- Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 2 teaspoons of ground cumin and cook for another minute
- Add 3 cups of canned black beans (drained)
- 1 can of beer, and salt and pepper
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour half of the soup and add it back to the pot. Add fresh lime juice and serve.
Baked Eggs with Spinach
Spinach is a great food for repairing muscles after a workout. Mix that with the nutrients that eggs give you and you've got yourself a protein packed dinner on the cheap.
Difficulty to cook: Beginner
Preheat the oven to 350°F
- In boiling, salted water, cook 2 pounds of spinach for 1 minute
- Drain, cool, squeeze, and chop
- Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a baking dish, add spinach, and toss to coat
- Spread spinach out, making 8 nests
- Crack 1 egg into each
- Top with salt, pepper, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until yolks are just set and whites solidified.
All of these meals are great, as they will take only 30 minutes max to prepare. Although I have previously talked about how you can manage your time better before and after your weightlifting workouts, it is some times a lot easier said than done and that is where these quick meals will come in handy. Having a good diet is vital when working on building muscle fast and that is why these recipes will be good for you in your present and future weightlifting workout routines.

Amgen is making a huge bet on biosimilars and helping to define the market.
The company announced that it is targeting 6 biotech blockbusters and will start selling them as biosimilars in 2017. The initial targets: Avastin, Herceptin, Rituxan, Erbitux, Humira and Remicade. That's over $40 billion in product. Even a small savings, like 15% to 20%, would result in a huge change in premiums.
It is still unclear what hurdles will need to be cleared from the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies, but a few other things have become very clear:
It will be curious to see which company makes the next announcement and how aggressive it will be.
