John Chrysostom (c. 347–407), On Vainglory and the Education of Children, 22:
Just as an artist who paints pictures and portraits exercises great care in his work, so each of you, mothers and fathers, must be attentive to these wonderful images [children]. Each day, a painter adds what is necessary to the picture. Sculptors do the same, removing excess stone and adding what is lacking. You should do the same: as makers of images, devote all your time to the task of fashioning wonderful images for God. Remove the excess; add what is lacking. Each day, examine the images closely. Cultivate the natural excellence that each one has, removing what is by nature inferior. Take care to root out first the thought of licentiousness, for sex is especially troublesome to young souls. Instead, before they encounter this temptation, teach them to be sober, vigilant, watchful in prayer, and to place everything that is said and done under the sign of the cross.
Lessons from the life of John Chrysostom
Lessons from the life of John Chrysostom
John Chrysostom was nicknamed "Golden Mouth" and stands as one of the most famous Greek preachers in church history. I return to his life frequently to be reminded of some golden lessons.
1. Earnest education in the grammatical-historical interpretation of Scripture. Plaguing the exegesis of the early church preachers (the Patristics) is an allegorical interpretation of Scripture. The move away from allegorical to the grammatical-historical was attempted by several but matured primarily under the scholarship of Diodore of Tarsus and it was this man who passed this method of interpretation to Chrysostom in Antioch. Contrary to most schools, the Atiochene school was "built on a method of interpretation rather than a theological tendency" (Old, Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures, 2:169).
Training in the grammatical-historical method shows itself clearly in the fruits of Chrysostom's preaching, reflecting a high view of the authority of Scripture. "The preaching of the Word of God is authoritative and efficacious because it is God's Word, not the preacher's. Here is the foundation of the passion and the power of great preaching. It is for this reason that the great preachers have preached and their congregations have heard them" (Old, 2:185). Only a conviction of Scripture's authority forces the preacher to interpret carefully. Chrysostom held a high view of Scripture.
2. Secular liberal arts education. Amazingly, Chrysostom was both educated by one of the great Christian exegetes of his era and one of the great secular orators. His widowed (but wealthy) mother sent John to study under Libanius, a pagan professor famed for his rhetorician in Constantinople and Nicomedia. It seems to be an odd decision for a Christian mother but the fruit of this secular learning – a strong imagination, skills in clear communication and a powerful literary talent – are all evident throughout John's later work (see our excerpt on spiritual warfare from last week). Hughes Oliphant Old writes, "Metaphors and similes seem to come to this preacher all quite naturally and without the least sort of effort" (Old, 2:193).
This blending of the secular/pagan and Christian educations was beneficial. Getting good exegetical and theological training is obvious. But those seeking to preach are encouraged to also seek a secular degree in liberal arts, too. "One of the reasons John Chrysostom achieve such distinction as a preacher was because he mastered both classical oratory as it was so brilliantly taught by Libanius and the principles of biblical interpretation as taught with no less luster by Diodore" (Old, 2:172). The diversity of training provides the preacher excellent skills in critical thinking, communicating in general and specifically in speaking the Gospel to fellow classmates who represent the diverse colors of culture (homosexual worldview, humanism, naturalism, atheism, agnosticism, theological liberalism, feminism, etc.).
3. Preaching against the sins of culture. In our day, when church-going Christians are in the minority, we are told the church should resemble the world in order to get non-Christians in the door. Chrysostom knew better. Christianity in his time was also the minority, lived among a majority of pagans in Antioch. Crowds of pagans would gather to hear good oratory and so Chrysostom's sermons were well-attended by non-Christians. This did not stop him from taking the cultural sins and idols head-on. And he encouraged his people to live differently than the culture around them, to evangelize their neighbors by their actions before evangelizing with words. Chrysostom encourages us to evangelize our culture by being radically different.
4. Fighting worldliness. Chrysostom wrote on the topic of fasting: "Fasting is, as much as lies in us, an imitation of the angles, a contemning of things present, a school of prayer, a nourishment of the soul, a bridle of the mouth, an abatement of concupiscence: it mollifies rage, it appeases anger, it calms the tempests of nature, it excites reason, it clears the mind, it disburthens the flesh, it chases away night-pollutions, it frees from head-ache. By fasting, a man gets composed behaviour, free utterance of his tongue, right apprehensions of his mind." Chrysostom understood the benefits of fasting and taught his people to prefer godly sorrow over worldly joy. John challenged his congregation to fast as an offensive against the idol-saturated Antioch. His asceticism and preaching against extravagance infuriated emperor Arcadius and his wife Eudoxia. Despite the mocking of the day, great and earnest preachers perceive the sinfulness of worldliness and warn souls.
5. Preaching plainly. I don't suggest that John was a plain preacher. He was trained under one of the greatest Pagan orators in Libanius and his sermons bear the watermark of oratorical greatness. Whether a true offer or not, it is said Libanius eyed his prized student Chrysostom as his replacement. Obviously, Chrysostom could have preached with the greatest eloquence of his age. However, he chose rather to open Scripture in a simple manner, accessible to all of his hearers. "His plainness of speech gave great offense to the beautiful and imperious Eudoxia, the worldly consort of Arcadius. This hatred of the empress and the envy and anger of many of the clergy were the causes of Chrysostom's deposition and banishment" (Dargan, A History of Preaching, 1:90).
Chrysostom preached to sinners in the "real world." He touched understood the lives of his hearers, he was experientially sensitive and these qualities made a great impact. "The Shakespeare of preachers has not appeared," John Broadus wrote in 1907. "But why should he not some day appear? One who can touch every chord of human feeling, treat every interest of human life, draw illustration from every object and relation of the known universe, and use all to gain acceptance and obedience for the gospel of salvation. No preacher has ever come nearer this than Chrysostom, perhaps none, on the whole, so near" (Broadus, Lectures on the History of Preaching, p. 78).
6. Late start. Chrysostom, who died at 60, took to the pulpit in Antioch at the age of 39. He had been educated in the Liberal Arts, worked in law and served as a deacon for several years. He had many years of Christian service behind him and a great knowledge of the world when he rose to the primary preacher in Antioch. But he was also a considerably old man when he got his start. This teaches preachers a bit about patience. You may know God has called you to preach His Word but now you are in school or working a secular job or otherwise wondering what God has in store. Chrysostom reminds us that God's timing may come later than we want but He is sovereignly preparing us for ministry no matter where we are. We are called to commune with God and experience life in the "real world" in preparation for our future tasks. John Broadus writes, "In our impatient age and country, when so many think time spent in preparation is time lost, it is well to remember that the two most celebrated preachers of the early Christian centuries began to preach, Chrysostrom at thirty-nine, and Augustine at thirty-six" (Broadus, p. 76). Nearly 40 years of preparation for 18 years of fruitful ministry (12 years in Antioch and 6 in Constantinople). However in these 18 years, Chrysostom preached daily and only Spurgeon has left more sermons in print. Be patient in the preparation.
7. Sensitive to the cultural events. One of the most powerful experiences of Chrysostom's ministry in Antioch occurred in 386. The people believing emperor Theodosius was overtaxing them rioted and destroyed imperial statues in the Antioch. Such an act brought swift and harsh response from the emperor including many arrests and killings. Even before the reprisal took place, the people knew they had sinned and were in deep trouble.
Amidst the upheaval in Antioch as the city awaited certain reprisal from the emperor, Chrysostom asked his city who they feared more. Do they fear the wrath of the emperor more than the wrath of God?
Chrysostom immediately began preaching sermons we now know as the "Sermons on the Statues" and initiated a 40 day fast for the city. Of his sermon content we are told, "At one time his object here is to console a people struggling with present distress; at another, to strengthen minds that were sinking under the extremity of danger; and above all, by repeated admonition, to persuade the people of Antioch, on occasion of the threatened calamities, to correct the vices and to wipe away the crimes that had thus provoked God's wrath; which endeavor on the part of Chrysostom certainly ended in results agreeable to his desire, as he sometimes acknowledges" (Preface to the Benedictine edition).
In one sermon Chrysostom said,
"How then is it any thing but absurd, to submit to the greatest hardships, when an Emperor enjoins it; but when God commands nothing grievous nor difficult, but what is very tolerable and easy, to despise or to deride it, and to advance custom as an excuse? Let us not, I entreat, so far despise our own safety, but let us fear God as we fear man. I know that ye shudder at hearing this, but what deserves to be shuddered at is that ye do not pay even so much respect to God; and that whilst ye diligently observe the Emperor's decrees, ye trample under foot those which are divine, and which have come down from heaven; and consider diligence concerning these a secondary object. For what apology will there be left for us, and what pardon, if after so much admonition we persist in the same practices."
Chrysostom, like Jesus, used the climate of the day to point souls towards the holiness and wrath of God and to encourage repentance (Luke 13:1-5)? When preachers today use 9/11, tsunamis and hurricanes to point souls towards God they walk in the pattern set by Christ and followed by Chrysostom. So preachers, take advantage of the times. Be acquainted with the conditions of your culture and put them to use spiritually in calling sinners to repentance.
8. Preaching as a prophet calling God's people to repentance. Chrysostom did not hesitate to call professing Christians to repentance. In this sense he was prophetic. "One can hardly avoid the observation that if he was everything a Greek orator was supposed to be, he was also everything a Hebrew prophet was supposed to be. With all the passion of Elijah he confronted God's people with their sins; with all the eloquence of Isaiah he called his congregation to repentance" (Old, 2:195). This certainly flows from an understanding of the age he preached and the specific temptations of his people. The great preachers seek to pull their congregation out of their sins to humble them and lead them to the Cross. A failure to lead a church out of a particular sin leads to serious corporate troubles (see Rev. 2:1-3:22).
9. Errors. Chrysostom leaves a great legacy to follow but not without errors. While watching the busy city of Antioch, John "sharpened that penetrating knowledge of human nature," but would later move to a monastery, a decision that would certainly hamper his (and his followers) sensitivity to the surrounding culture (Broadus, p. 73). While not allegorizing, he is known for twisting passages to suit his own needs. His emphasis on celibacy, transubstantiation, monasticism are all quite unfortunate though compared to his contemporaries Chrysostom held a cautious and discerning Mariology.
But most unfortunate, Chrysostom said far more about ethics and works than about Christ and redemption in the Cross. Too frequently readers of his sermons will find only momentary glimpses of the Cross. Were it not for his concluding benediction, Jesus Christ would be altogether absent from many of his sermons.
It does no good making a list of errors if we don't humbly recognize we have our own. Church history repeats one general theme: Even the greatest preacher will not escape the errors of his day. We take lessons from Chrysostom's life tempered with the sober reality that the Patristic era of church history contains many grievous errors. It will prove beneficial to pray and ask God this question: What errors of my age – those errors commonly held by my friends and associates – what of these errors have I unknowingly fallen? The errors which seem so obvious centuries later go unseen at the time.
The beauty of history is that we take the good and leave the bad. From the fruit of Chrysostom's life we can return to our ministries with a basket filled with rich lessons.

John Chrysostom on spiritual warfare
Spiritual Warfare
by John Chrysostom
Let there be an armament composed of infantry, cavalry, and marines, and let a number of triremes cover the sea, and phalanxes of foot and horse cover most of the plains, and the ridges of the mountains, and let the metal of their armor reflect the sunshine, and the glitter of the helmets and shields be reflected by the beams which are emitted from them; let the clashing of spears and the neighing of horses be borne up to the very heavens, and let neither sea nor land appear, but only brass and iron in every direction. Let the enemy be drawn up in battle array opposite to these, fierce and savage men, and let the time of the engagement be now at hand. Then let some one suddenly seize some young lad, one of those brought up in the country, knowing nothing but the use of the shepherd's pipe and crook; let him be clad in brazen armor, and let him be led round the whole camp and be shown the squadrons and their officers, the archers, slingers, captains, generals, the foot and horse, the spearmen, the triremes and their commanders, the dense mass of soldiers in the ships, and the multitude of engines of war lying ready on board. Let him be shown, moreover, the whole array of the enemy, their repulsive aspect, and the varied stores and unusual quantity of their arms; the ravines also and precipices of the mountains, deep and difficult.
Let him be shown further on the enemies' side, horses flying by some enchantment and infantry borne through the air, and sorcery of every power and form; and let him consider the calamities of war, the cloud of spears, the hailstorm of arrows, that great mist and obscurity that gloomiest night which the multitude of weapons occasions, eclipsing the sunbeams with their cloud, the dust no less than the darkness baffling the eyesight. The torrents of blood, the groanings of the falling, the shouts of the surviving, the heaps of slain, wheels bathed in blood, horses with their riders thrown headlong down, owing to the number of corpses, the ground a scene of general confusion, blood, and bows, and arrows, hoofs of horses and heads of men lying together, a human arm and a chariot wheel and a helmet, a breast pierced through, brains sticking to swords, the point of a dart broken off with an eye transfixed upon it. Then let him reckon up the sufferings of the naval force, the triremes burning in the midst of the waves, and sinking with their armed crews, the roaring of the sea, the tumult of the sailors, the shout of the soldiers, the foam of the waves mixed with blood, and dashing over into all the ships; the corpses on the decks, some sinking, some floating, some cast upon the beach, overwhelmed by the waves, and obstructing the passage of the ships. And when he has been carefully instructed in all the tragedy of warfare, let the horrors of captivity and of slavery be added to it, worse than any kind of death; and having told him all this, bid him mount his horse straightway, and take command of all that armament.
Dost thou really think that this lad would be equal to more than the mere description, and would not, at the very first glance, lose heart?
Do not think that I have exaggerated the matter by my account, nor suppose that because we are shut up in this body, as in some prison house, and are unable to see anything of the invisible world, that what has been said is overstated. For thou wouldest see a far greater and more formidable conflict than this, couldest thou ever behold, with these eyes of thine, the devil's most gloomy battle array, and his frantic onset. For there is no brass or iron there. No horses, or chariots or wheels, no fire and darts. These are visible things. But there are other much more fearful engines than these. One does not need against these enemies breastplate or shield, sword and spear, yet the sight only of this accursed array is enough to paralyze the soul, unless it happen to be very noble, and to enjoy in a high degree as a protection to its own courage the providential care of God.
And if it were possible by putting off this body, or still keeping it, to see clearly and fearlessly with the naked eye the whole of his battle array, and his warfare against us, thou wouldest see no torrents of blood, nor dead bodies, but so many fallen souls, and such disastrous wounds that the whole of that description of warfare which I just now detailed to thee thou wouldest think to be mere child's sport and pastime rather than war: so many are there smitten every day, and the wounds in the two cases do not bring about the same death, but as great as is the difference between the soul from the body, so great is the difference between that death and this. For when the soul receives a wound, and falls, it does not lie as a lifeless body, but it is thenceforth tormented, being gnawed by an evil conscience; and after its removal hence, at the time of judgment, it is delivered over to eternal punishment; and if any one be without grief in regard to the wounds given by the devil, his danger becomes the greater for his insensibility. For whoever is not pained by the first wound, will readily receive a second, and after that a third. For the unclean spirit will not cease assaulting to the last breath, whenever he finds a soul supine and indifferent to his first wounds; and if thou wouldest inquire into the method of attack, thou wouldest find this much more severe and varied. For no one ever knew so many forms of craft and deceit as that unclean spirit.
By this indeed, he has acquired the greater part of his power, nor can any one have so implacable a hatred against his worst enemies as the evil one against the human race. And if any one inquire into the vehemence with which he fights, here again it would be ludicrous to bring men into comparison with him. But if any one choose out the fiercest and most savage of beasts, and is minded to set their fury against his, he will find that they were meek and quiet in comparison, such rage does he breathe forth when he attacks our souls; and the period of the warfare indeed in the former case is brief, and in this brief space there are respites; for the approach of the night and the fatigue of slaughter, meal-times also, and many other things, afford a respite to the soldier, so that he can doff his armor and breathe a little, and refresh himself with food and drink, and in many other ways recover his former strength.
But in the case of the evil one it is not possible ever to lay aside one's armor, it is not possible even to take sleep, for one who would remain always unscathed. For one of two things must be: either to fall and perish unarmed, or to stand equipped and ever watchful. For he ever stands with his own battle array, watching for our indolence, and laboring more zealously for our destruction, than we for our salvation … How shall I be able to help, how to profit thee under so great a burden of office (pastoring)? But since this is pleasant to thee, take courage, dear soul, for at any time at which it is possible for thee to have leisure amid thine own cares, I will come and will comfort thee, and nothing shall be wanting of what is in my power.
- John Chrysostom, taken from book 6 of his Treatise Concerning the Christian Priesthood (translated with introduction and notes by the Rev. W. R. W. Stephens).

Sorry for the delay — I nearly forgot! Fifth Gear is back for a new season and the episode is now available for download.
TLA released these rips as season 23 episode 10 but Fifth Gear's website is promoting this as a new series (aka season) plus it's been a while since the last episode aired, so I've gone ahead and renamed the episode to season 24 episode 1.
EDIT: Well crap, upon further investigation it looks like Discovery UK's TV guide is actually listing this as episode 10 of season 23 after all. Sorry about that.

The peanut mix is a great way to add lots of flavors without having to do a lot of measuring. I actually think the peanut taste could have been even stronger. Serving over rice made this like a cross between a soup and a curry. Next time I'd decrease the broth by half, so it was a thicker, more curry-like sauce. Would rate higher except broccoli and bell pepper aren't my favorite veggies - next time I will use something different.

5 Ways to Cook With Frozen Strawberries
Shop Your Freezer
We've been talking about ways to shop your freezer, digging out the last bags of frozen corn, spinach, and other goodies that can help you put a quick meal together. This week, let's talk about frozen strawberries. I almost always have a bag of these in the freezer, and I love to use them in quick sauces and desserts. Here are a few ways I use them; I'd love to hear your favorites too.
Here are five ways that frozen strawberries can come in handy.
1. Put them in smoothies or milkshakes.
This is the main reason many people keep frozen fruit in their freezers; it's so handy for quick morning smoothies. We occasionally indulge a deep love for a really, really good strawberry milkshake.
- Get a recipe: How To Make a Killer Strawberry Milkshake
2. Bake a fruit cobbler.
Frozen strawberries and other fruit are a lovely way to have a taste of summer in the middle of the winter, especially when they're baked and bubbling in a simple cobbler.
- Get a recipe: Recipe: Easy, Foolproof Cobbler (for Any Fruit)
3. Make strawberry milk.
No, strawberry milk isn't something that comes out of a box; you can make it from scratch yourself! We love this old-school, homey recipe for tasty strawberry milk.
- Get a recipe: Old-School Recipe: Make Your Own Strawberry Milk!
4. Make a sauce for pancakes or ice cream.
Here's the primary reason I keep strawberries around: quick sauces.
I simmer whole berries with some lemon juice and a spoonful of sugar until they're soupy and tender, then serve them over pancakes. For a fancier dessert you can whiz the berries until smooth in a blender and strain out the seeds. Drizzle over panna cotta, ice cream, or any dessert that needs some strawberry action.
5. Use them in a trifle.
Here's one more fun and easy dessert recipe: crumble leftover cake into glasses and layer with defrosted strawberries and whipped cream. So easy!
- Get a recipe: Clean-Out-the-Freezer Strawberry Trifles
And I didn't even mention roasting them, or making strawberry yogurt popsicles.
How do you use frozen strawberries, or other frozen fruit?

I still have strawberries in my freezer from June picking! I like to make small, single-jar batches of quick jam (non-sterilized/canned) now and then, often combined with the sliced peaches I also have left in the freezer from last summer. Or I'll defrost the strawberries and then puree in the food processor with some sugar to make a no-frills coulis, which is wonderful on yogurt.
(I generally bake a lot--scones, muffins, etc.--but have never been a big fan of strawberries in my baked goods. I prefer raspberries or blueberries--which I also have in the freezer from summer picking. :-)
I love the idea of "shopping my freezer!" Keep 'em coming!
very convenient, but are they organic? that would be my only concern, since strawberries are so high on the "do not eat!" list of non-organic foods.
I literally have these in my freezer right now haha
Can you throw them in quick bread mixes? I did with fresh fruit, would I need to unthaw frozen fruit?
Yea, I have a bag of them also in the freezer. It is too cold for a smoothies. Strawberry sauce for on pancakes sounds good.
Dole certainly won't be organic. I am unsure of American brands that may have that option.
What on earth is "leftover cake"? There is never any cake left over.
What on earth is "leftover cake"? There is never any cake left over.
whole foods sells organic frozen strawberries.
Fold them into scones for jammy scones.
Strawberry frozen yogurt! Tub of natural yogurt, some cream (or leave out), strawberries and sugar to taste (but if they're nice and ripe you won't need much). Blend in blender until smooth (again, to preference), then chuck in ice cream maker and process, or in container to freeze.
I love using reheated frozen berries over granola.
I love making strawberry sauce for my pancakes and other pastries. It's a much healthier alternative to just adding lots of syrup (which I have nothing against either, lol).

Past Exhibitions
Falling Still
Yevgeniya Kaganovich and Nathaniel Stern
Curated by Jennifer Johung
December 2 - December 16, 2010
The artists will be in attendance at the opening reception. The exhibition includes an accompanying booklet with text by the curator.
About the Work
Falling Still utilizes 200 cement-cast feathers as individual pixels to create a larger image across 6 planes. Each of these sculptures has been hand-poured into molds of actual feathers, exhibiting finely detailed quills on one side, and flat concrete surfaces on the other. They hang from the ceiling via discrete fishing lines, swinging, twisting and turning as viewers move around the 8 x 15 x 4 foot installation area. From all perspectives but one, the work floats between 1-dimensional lines, 2-dimensional planes and 3-dimensional pixels. View it exactly perpendicular to its planes, and all the work's elements cohere into a bit-mapped image of a body, leaping through the air. While Falling Still is itself suspended between movement and stasis, it also moves and arrests the viewer. The installation directs viewers in and around incongruous objects, through an improbable image, and across multiple dimensions.

Mexico's Pena Nieto to push for quick reforms
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto pledged on Monday to focus on energy, labor and tax reforms and said he hopes to strike deals with opponents to help shepherd changes through Congress before he takes office in December.
Pena Nieto won Sunday's election with about 38 percent of the vote, about 6 percentage points ahead of his nearest rival, returning the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) to power after 12 years in opposition.
But the victory margin was smaller than expected and results suggested the PRI and its Green allies would struggle to win a majority, officials at the electoral authorities told Reuters.
That would leave Pena Nieto reliant on other parties to back his plans to reinvigorate Latin America's No. 2 economy.
Speaking to reporters in Mexico City, the 45 year old said he was ready to consult with outgoing President Felipe Calderon and bring in experts to make progress on the reforms and help ease them through Congress, which reconvenes in September.
His main reform proposals include allowing more private investment in Mexico's state-run oil industry, overhauling the tax system to improve government revenues and liberalizing the country's labor laws to encourage job creation.
"We will now be working on all these initiatives with public policy experts," Pena Nieto told a news conference.
Calderon's conservative National Action Party (PAN) had tried to get similar reforms through Congress over the past six years but the efforts were thwarted by opposition from the PRI, which has both populist and pro-business leanings.
Victor Garcia, a 51-year-old graphic designer in Mexico City, said the PRI's failure to win a majority was a blow for the presidency and would stymie economic reform.
"All the parties just work to their own advantage," he said. "And the president doesn't give orders to anyone any more."
Pena Nieto has promised to lift economic growth to about 6 percent a year, create jobs and draw the heat out of a war with drug gangs that bogged down Calderon's administration. The conflict has killed more than 55,000 people since late 2006.
Long regarded as corrupt and authoritarian, the PRI has bounced back under the youthful Pena Nieto, who has vowed to break with the party's checkered past.
He has sought to bring in new blood to the party, and Pena Nieto said his campaign chief, Luis Videgaray, 43, would form part of his government team. Videgaray is well regarded by investors and seen as a possible choice for finance minister.
But the party is still deeply resented by many Mexicans.
"Yes, the PRI has experience. They know how to steal. They know how to make pacts with drug cartels. And they know how to kill," said Heliodoro Maciel, an electrician and trade unionist.
Final opinion polls before the election had shown Pena Nieto winning by 10 to 15 percentage points, but with 97 percent of returns in, the gap to his leftist rival, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, was 6.4 points, or roughly 3 million votes.
PAN candidate Josefina Vazquez Mota came in a distant third as the PAN suffered a crushing defeat, hurt by Calderon's failure to ramp up growth and curb the drug war violence.
The PAN raised high hopes when it was elected in 2000, but the economy underperformed its peers in Latin America for most of the 12-year rule by the party, which never had a majority in Congress and was unable to push through reforms.
"Nothing has improved since the PAN got in," said Mexico City plumber Raimundo Salazar, 44. "The PRI understands how things work here. And it knows how to manage the drug gangs."
Lopez Obrador said on Sunday night it was too early to concede defeat, but Calderon and U.S. President Barack Obama have already congratulated Pena Nieto on his triumph.
The U.S. State Department said it expected close cooperation against organized crime to continue under Pena Nieto.
Pena Nieto will take over at a time when Mexico's finances are in good order and the economy is improving, although it still cannot generate enough jobs for the growing population.
The election result helped bolster Mexico's main share index early on Monday before weak global manufacturing data hit stocks and the peso currency.
Lopez Obrador could still choose to challenge the election, as he did six years ago when he narrowly lost to Calderon and launched months of protests, alleging fraud.
He has said in recent weeks this election campaign was also plagued with irregularities, raising concerns he might again call his supporters onto the streets. On Sunday night, he said only that he would wait until all the results were in.
(Additional reporting by Dave Graham, Simon Gardner, Miguel Angel Gutierrez, Lizbeth Diaz, Ioan Grillo and David Alire Garcia in Mexico City, with Arshad Mohammed in Washington; Editing by Daniel Trotta, Cynthia Osterman and David Brunnstrom)
First, Nieto started with a 6% lead and shrunk down to a 3.9% lead. It only grew back to 37% in the last few hours. It still has yet to reach 38% even once.
The Mexican economy under Calderon has grown at 210% real GDP to the US and is outperforming Brazil. So, "sputtering economy" isn't even close.
The violence almost entirely during 2008-10 and has largely ended due to the success of campaigns against the cartel. Calderon has decreased the violence in Mexico. The murder rate here has been lower than in the US for two years now.
You article is both misinformed and a bit slanderous.
It says your reporting from Mexico City, I have trouble believing that. I've been living in Mexico since 2009 and have seen a very different world than what your describing.
If your not going to report honestly then just don't bother.
Nieto's lead didn't grow all night. It shrunk most of the night then spurted from a 3% lead to 6% lead in the last few hours. As of the posting of the article he still has never reached a 38% lead.
The murder rate in Mexico has been lower than the US for the last two years. Calderon has eliminated all but a few of the cartels and the overall campaign has been a success.
The economy is most definitely not "sputtering". Real GDP in Mexico has been out pacing the US by 210% for nearly five years running. It is currently out performing Brazil. They just passed Italy in GDP and are about to pass Spain next year.
Also, they have been able to raise their poverty line by nearly triple the previous poverty line and decrease the number of people below the line by 50%. Largely thanks to Calderon's "First Employment Act" that helped shift most of the new jobs (which now outnumber total population) to people with out work experience.
This articles is slander at best. You clearly didn't bother to research any of your information and who ever is paying you should consider it a waste of money.
Your grammar is very acute though.

Viewing government as a threat | Letters
Unfortunately, the Boeing Company just lost a $4 billion contract to Brazil because of NSA spying.
More unfortunate is the Senate vote approving the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP), which surrenders legislative power over trade to multinational corporations. It's little wonder 72 percent of the American people view the federal government as a bigger threat to the future of the country than big business or big labor.

We've heard from several teachers who loved receiving scrapbooks filled with messages from students. "When I'm having a bad day or feel that I'm getting nowhere, I page through that book and remember the lives I have touched," reports Mary Austin of Bridgewater, New Jersey. This keepsake book gets the entire class involved. It sits on a desk, so a teacher can glance through it whenever she needs a boost.
Cut the poster board into cards measuring 7 by 5-1/2 inches: you'll need 1 card for each class member, plus 5 extras for the stand.
Use a hole punch to make 2 holes at the top of each card as shown.
Send a card home with each child, to be decorated with photos, artwork, or colored markers and a positive message to the teacher.
To create the stand, make 2 double-thick pages using extra cards affixed together with a glue stick.
Fold the remaining extra into thirds and glue its flaps to the double-thick pages as shown. Attach the students' pages to the stand with 1-inch book rings (available at office supply stores).

Thank you Rebekah. It's good to hear from you. It was exciting for me that they liked the peas.

What a great idea! Did you just use a bag of frozen peas or did you freeze some fresh ones? I do have several cans of peas in my cupboard but my boys typically don't want to eat them, I might have to try freezing them? Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a nice comment!

Your kids are so darling! We love frozen peas! In fact, they just had them last night and my daughter is 3.5 years old and still likes them! Another thing you might try is Tofu...I'm not sure if you've had it before...I'm not a big fan, but if you roll it in graham cracker crumbs, my kids LOVE it! It's a great meal to put together fast since it doesn't need to be heated or anything. Just slice it and dip it in crumbs and you're set!!

- Multiples Mom said...
Hi Robyn. You have a great blog. I really enjoyed it. I used frozen peas, but I imagine you could freeze them yourself. The frozen petite peas in a bag were so easy because I just took out what I needed and popped the rest back in the freezer.

Hi Mommy with Selective Memory.
Thank you. I will have to try the tofu idea. They have eaten tofu and have had mixed reactions. I have been looking for ways to dress it up. Thank you for the idea!

I so enjoy your blog! Thanks for sharing your story and tips! We tried frozen peas but my pickier eater didn't like them :-( We keep trying. One thing that we started when he was about 4 months old was using those mesh teething feeders - they are AWESOME! I would put frozen or just fresh fruit in it - watermelon, peaches, apple, pears - and he loved the sensation since he was teething and was getting some good, natural fruit juices too! The one fruit that was a MESS that ruined one of the mesh bags was banana - it just doesn't clean out well.
- February 22, 2012 at 12:48 PM
- Multiples Mom said...
Hi Bruffey Family. I have not tried the mesh bags in a long time. I tried prunes once and it was quite a mess! I never thought about trying something frozen. Thanks to you, I will pull those out and try your advice! I appreciate your tips. Thank you.

Have you tried frozen grapes? I know it's not a veggie but it's another idea for summer. That's the only way syd would eat grapes in the beginning. I have to try the frozen peas, since syd doesn't like cooked ones. Love your blog. Even though syd is 5 1/2 I am learning new things. It's always nice to hear mom stories.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:17 AM
- Multiples Mom said...
Hi Mary. Thank you. I can try frozen grapes cut up in small pieces. They would probably love those. Thanks for the idea. I remember eating frozen grapes and frozen bananas growing up. Occasionally my Mom would dip the bananas in chocolate before freezing.

Both my kids love frozen fruit, but once when my son was two he choked on frozen mango. I knew it was likely to happen, and had told my husband to cut the mango into small bits, but one morning when our son was demanding mango NOW NOW NOW, my husband just handed over a regular size chunk. He couldn't breathe for what felt like minutes but was probably just one minute-ish. That was the worst experience of my whole life.

- Multiples Mom said...
Hi 'downwardlashes.'
That is very scary! I am glad he was OK. I think every parent worries about choking. Thank you for sharing your story. I think it is helpful to be reminded to cut things up very small, because families are so busy and kids do want everything right now. I looked at your profile picture. Your kids are adorable. Please keep up the comments. I'd love to hear your stories.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

Central American rice and beans make a quick and easy dinner. Serve as a main course, or mix with meat and stuff in a taco shell.
1. Soak the beans overnight in water. The next day, drain the beans and place in a large pot with 2 quarts water.
2. Pin the bay leaf to the onion and add it with the garlic to the beans. Gradually bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and gently simmer for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the beans are tender but not soft, adding the salt the last 10 minutes. Refresh the beans under cold water and drain.
3.Bring 3 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add the rice, cover the pan, and gently simmer for 20 minutes or until the grains are tender. Uncover the pan and let cool. The recipe can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead to this stage.
4. Heat the oil in a large saute pan. Add the onions and fry over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon. (You can use the onion in soups, stews or stock.)
5. Add the beans and rice and cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the rice is lightly browned and the mixture is aromatic. Serve hot. Makes 6 servings.

I give this a 3 because while it turned out well, I was not a fan of the sauce. If you like rich cream sauces then go for it. Otherwise, there are better pork and apple recipes.
Rosemary Pork Tenderloin with Harvest Apples
Charles E. Walton IV
Apples are available year-round but best during the autumn harvest season. For this recipe, choose crisp, firm sweet-tart apples such as Fuji or Braeburn. Damon Haynes, sommelier of Il Palio restaurant at the Siena Hotel in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, suggests pairing this dish with a Lis Neris Isonzo de Friuli Chardonnay 2002 (about $14) or Lis Neris Gris-Pinot Grigio Venezia Giulia 2002 (about $21).
Yield: Makes 6 servings

Season tenderloin with salt and pepper; brown in hot oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottom skillet 7 minutes. Remove apples from oven; place tenderloin in center of baking dish. Set aside.

Rutgers athletic director Julie Hermann was hired earlier this month and given the responsibility of repairing the reputation of the Scarlet Knights. Former men's basketball coach Mike Rice has left a major stain on the program after videos surfaced of him physically and verbally abusing his players, and the scandal resulted in the firing of former AD Tim Pernetti.
As it turns out, Hermann's record isn't exactly squeaky clean. The former head volleyball coach at Tennessee lost a lawsuit in 1997 that alleged she discouraged one of her assistant coaches, Ginger Hineline, from getting pregnant. According to the New Jersey Press Media, Hineline claimed she was a victim of employment discrimination when she was fired in 1996 because of her pregnancy.
Hermann still denies the accusation, but a video of some comments she made at Hineline's wedding in 1994 surfaced over the weekend that seems to support Hineline's claim.

Havre de Grace, Maryland
Address all inquiries about this website to
Site updated 6-13-2009
During the Revolutionary War, this area was visited several times by General Lafayette ( The Marquis de Lafayette ).
The area reminded him of the French seaport, Le Havre, hence the lovely name Havre de Grace.
The English translation of the name is Harbor of Grace and thus the name of the NSDAR Chapter located here.

Providing Executive and Group Coaching, Dr. Maddalena has supported executive development at Fortune 500 firms throughout North and South America:
Group coaching improves meeting facilitation and decision making by addressing distracting behaviors and preferred processes that derail the group and limit effective action. By developing trust and improving communication, groups are prepared to identify poor habits, edit ideas and collaboratively form practical action steps. Client endorsements often site Dr. Maddalena's three step self-coaching process as essential for a successful transition to a position of leadership.
Dr. Maddalena has taught in the Management and Communication Departmens of several Universities, including Rutgers CMD Advanced Leadership program. She has written several books and numerous articles such as the acclaimed "Seaside Coaching" published globally in six languages and served as writer, editor and publisher for management and coaching professional journals.
Education and Training:
She describes her twenty years experience studying human behavior: "Retention and development of leaders through effective interpersonal relationships has been a vital part of my work with corporate clients. Each encounter with a talented business leader is unique."
This wealth of experience as a group coach is the basis for the Transition to Leadership program created as a series of seminars for two global pharmaceutical firms. Originally titled Transition to Management, these programs have supported the development of over 6,000 corporate executives at more than 30 firms to gain the skill of self-coaching. Because it addresses the fundamental issues of trust, team behaviors, communication and decision making during transition and change, potential clients may find value in speaking to former participants to learn how this event unites teams and supports effective decision-making practices, the foundation necessary for a team to set and achieve goals.

One Kind Thing: Chocolate Thank You
I recently discovered a new "One Kind Thing" that I can do for people around the office. I call it the Chocolate Thank You.
Take a Post-It note off the pad. Turn it with the sticky side up. Set a Herhey's minature on the right side of the sticky band. Then write a quick thank you on the sheet.
I've been using the medium size notes (3" by 3"). It is something that I can do quickly, like feedback. It is something that is rare around the office. It reinforces positive things that others have done for me.
It came to me when someone in the finance department was able to expidite a request for me. I was late in getting the information to them and my delay created a rush request on them. They were able to complete the request quickly so the team wasn't late. I had a bowl of Hershey's minatures on my desk. I grabbed a Post-It note, flipped it over so the chocolate would stay with the note. I jotted a quick, thank you on the note. I was getting to this after most of the office had left for the evening, so I left the note on her desk.
The next day she mentioned that it was nice to get the chocolate and the thanks for the extra effort she put in. It was great to see how big an impact such a small gesture had. For the past week I've been able to recognize many people outside my team of directs who have supported us in some way outside their defined role or job description. It gives that extra punch to a heartfelt thank you.
Sometimes I get to hand it to the person and say thank you directly. Other times I've had to leave it on their desk as I'm headed to a meeting near their desk.
At least one of the folks in our office is alergic to chocolate. I've found that a hard Jolly Rancher is a pretty good substitute. I can keep a bowl of each on my desk. People stopping by can grab one. They are also ready when I want to put together a Choclate Thank You.
What a great idea!
Thank you for sharing your idea for the "one kind thing." I've been trying to imagine how I could implement this tool and your solution sounds like a great way to start. Thank you again!
DiSC 7114
Great Idea!
My organization is going through a major transformation right now. This is a great idea, although in our case, valium might work better than chocolate.-)

Excellent school my son reading on 4 years old, they teach him a lot in life I am so happy that there is school like this.
This is a great school. My daughter is in room 2 and the teachers are GREAT. My daughter can not wait to go to school. She wants to attend school on the weekends. However, I wish she could be challended more but she is learning on her age level. Also I wish the tuition would not increase every year. Over all, the school is wonderful and the members I accompanied are marvelous to my daughter and myself. This is an excellent investment so far.
This school has really high expectations and your children will at least be a grade level above and in Kindergarten will be reading at a 1 or 2nd grade level or more depending on your child. The downfall is this school is really strict and not nurturing at all. The Pre-K and Kindergarten programs lack the socialization and caring that young kids need. They are too structured! The choose the colors for the art projects. In addition the administration do not listen to the parents. My child luckily is not in Room 5 anymore with 2 teachers who are not friendly to the children at all. I move my son to another class. The remaining parents , at least 75% or more have complained about how the teachers talk and treat the kids. The administration just tells you how wonderful the teachers are and does nothing. There is no Parent Association and this is a huge issue. I was going to send my son to Kindergarten but with the lack of cooperating administration he will not be going there. Those 2 teachers should have been let go with the amount of complaints. It's sad because the school is academically strong but emotionally/ nurturing a failure.
My daughter attended Early Impressions from Junior Kindergarten through 1st Grade. The school's curriculum and staff are the absolute best around! I did not have one complaint the entire 3 years that my daughter was there. The atmosphere is so positive and my daughter is now at the top of her class in public school. My only wish is that Early Impressions expanded their grade levels and my kids could go at least until the 5th grade. This is my 2-year-old's first year and she is doing awesome as well. The school and environment is well worth the money. This is an investment that I am glad to have made.
My son currently attends EI. His kindergarten teacher is Awesome!!! I just love her. He can read an entire book at the age of 5. I love this school and I'm praying that I will be financially blessed to bring him back in the Fall for 1st. grade.
My daughter attended Early Impression for Pre-K. I actually had switched her to another school for about three months of her second year of Pre-K to save money. I put her back in Early Impressions. The money I spent at Early Impressions was well worth the education she received. Her. Every public school teacher my daughter has had since 1st grade has said she could skip a grade.
My son attended Early Impressions for 3 years. What an outstanding program! The curriculum offered is excellent. My son received such a wonderful foundation in phonics and mathematics. He loved the enrichment program as well as the bi-lingual education. He is well above the majority of other students in his school now and we owe it all to Early Impressions!
My two daughters attended EI from age two until kindergarten. Both received an excellent educational foundation in reading, writing, and social skills. My son now attends, and I know he will receive the high quality background his sisters did. The staff is involved, and passionate, and the parents are highly involved as well.
My child has attended EI since pre-school and will come away from 1st grade knowing how to read, write stories, get along with other students, a sense of self-worth, and confidence, and most importantly a love for learning. This school has done an excellent job educating our daughter. (Parent)
