Quick & Healthy Meals: Lunch Options
Do you struggle with what to eat? Perhaps you want quick meal ideas and you are told it is possible to make a healthy meal in a short amount of time but you aren't sure where to start. A common myth that we believe is that eating healthy is expensive, time-consuming and boring; however, I'm going to show you some rather budget-friendly, quick and tasty lunch ideas to keep you on track toward your health and fitness goals (whether it is to eat healthier or to lose a few LBs).
In today's post, I'm going to share with you my quick and easy lunch options. While I sometimes will stray from these options, these are my go-to's most days when I want to keep things simple. If you are one for more complex lunch ideas, this may not be the post for you. If you want to see more posts on health and wellness, feel free to leave a comment below and let me know what posts you wish to see in the future.
Do you struggle with what to eat? Perhaps you want quick meal ideas and you are told it is possible to make a healthy meal in a short amount of time but you aren't sure where to start.
You are not alone. Nearly every day, I am asked by friends, family, patients, how to improve health without complicated systems, ingredients, or recipes that are time-consuming. So, in an effort to help you out, I am creating a "what I eat in a day" series so that you can acquire new breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner ideas that are time efficient, effortless, whole-foods based, and easy to prepare.
A common myth that we believe is that eating healthy is expensive, time-consuming and boring; however, I'm going to show you some rather budget-friendly, quick and tasty lunch ideas to keep you on track toward your health and fitness goals (whether it is to eat healthier or to lose a few LBs).
The only supplies we will need for our lunch are an InstantPot or slow cooker, a couple of measuring spoons and a to-go container. Here are the ingredients you will need: organic frozen or fresh chicken breasts, pre-cooked quinoa or sweet potato, shredded cabbage or dark leafy greens, chicken broth or salsa of choice, some simple sauce ingredients for flavoring (coconut aminos, hot sauce, avocado or sesame oil, Bragg's amino acids, fresh lime juice), and a few toppings such as fresh cilantro, mild jalapeño peppers, avocado, etc.
SIDE NOTE: I usually get most of my groceries at Trader Joes or Costco to save money but most of the ingredients I am mentioning are available at most stores. You can grab my free grocery shopping list, HERE!
Usually, when I get up in the morning, I'll start some chicken in the InstantPot with 2 cups of chicken broth. In our house, we use this appliance every single day (I probably should name it). It cooks meat quickly, evenly and really simplifies life for us. Yes, you can use a crock pot if you have one; but, it is nice to have shreddable chicken breasts in less than a half hour. If you are using a crock pot, then prepare a bunch of chicken so you will have enough for the week. To get the chicken extra soft, using the InstantPot, I cook the chicken breasts with the poultry setting and then when it is complete, I steam them for 10 minutes.
When it is finished, I fill a glass food-storage container with 2-3 cups of shredded cabbage. I add the shredded chicken.
if I am having carbs for this meal, I add ½ cup of pre-cooked quinoa or sweet potato depending on my mood. I pre-cook these on the weekends so I don't have to mess with it during my daily lunch preparation.
I then sprinkle the mix with my favorite combination of sauces. For sweetness, I use several splashes of coconut aminos. For saltiness, I add some Bragg's amino acids (which tastes like soy sauce). For spice, I add some hot sauce. For tang, I squeeze some lime and for my fat, I add a teaspoon or more of toasted sesame oil or avocado oil.
Once I have my flavor I top it off with fresh cilantro and some avocado slices. And that's really it. I seriously eat some variation of this every day.
1) On the days that a little variety is warranted, instead of cooking the poultry in chicken broth, I may use my favorite salsa from Trader Joes (Garlic Chipotle) to make a tasty salad topper.
2) For other sauce options, I may make a coleslaw using a homemade or vegan mayonnaise with cabbage, cilantro, coconut aminos, and Trader Joe's Chili Lime seasoning.
3) If I feel like a taco salad, I may mix the shredded chicken with avocado oil and taco seasoning and throw it on a bed of greens.
4) If I'm in the mood for a buffalo wing type of flavor I may mix the shredded chicken breasts with coconut oil and Frank's hot sauce and top this on a salad.
5) If you are wanting something other than a salad you can opt for Paleo Wraps from Whole Foods and fill your shredded chicken mix in a fun taco wrap.
SIDE NOTE: I really don't measure any of these out except for my oil choice because I track my fat throughout the day when I am trying to stay within a caloric budget.
If I need a variety in my protein choice, I may use Applegate chicken sausage, ground turkey, ground grass-fed beef, or grilled steak. Vegans can try the lunch options above using tempeh, tofu, or Beyond Meat beefy crumbles that are soy and wheat free.
Regardless of the method, it usually takes less than ten minutes to get my lunch ready for the day. And this is important because I want to save time and money all while staying true to an anti-inflammatory, fat burning, nutritious meal plan.
If you have read my book, The Forever Fat Burner, you know that I am a fan of lower carbohydrate diets but I am not against carbohydrates. I often get asked if I eat complex carbs, which ones I prefer, and what timing I use when I eat them. I try to keep it relatively simple:
1) First, I only go for grain-free options such as quinoa (a seed) and sweet potato or squash.
2) I have between zero and two servings of complex carbs per day (in addition to my fruit and vegetables). Each serving is approximately 1/2 cup.
3) The number of servings depends upon my work out schedule and if I want to have a healthy cheat during the day. For example, If I am on a rest day and do not work out in the morning, I do not add quinoa or sweet potato to my meals. If I worked out that day, I allow myself two servings of complex carbohydrates. If on a day that I work out, I decide to treat myself to an ounce of dark chocolate or a glass of wine, I will replace one or two of my complex carbohydrate servings with a fun cheat.
So, in other words, I will forgo my quinoa in my lunch if I know that I will be having a glass of wine with my husband after dinner. If I know I will want two glasses of wine, I won't have any complex carbs that day. In this manner, I can stick to my meal plan without feeling deprived. I will make a post of my favorite healthy cheats and how I incorporate them into my meal plan, very soon...
I want to hear from you. If you have any favorite quick, healthy, whole foods-based lunch recipes let me know in the comments below. We can all learn from each other and get new ideas to incorporate into our repertoire.
If you want to see more posts like this one, give this post a "like". Feel free to share it with friends and keep coming back here for more posts related to health and lifestyle.
Until next time, don't forget to supercharge your health and simplify your lifestyle so that you can satisfy that lovely soul of yours…

In my former life — as a college English instructor — I had the chance to work with an autistic student I'll call Frank. Like Sam the dancing barista of recent viral fame, Frank suffered from a neurological disorder that inhibited his ability to control his motor functions, but that didn't stop him from enrolling in my fiction class. With help from a learning specialist assigned to him by the university, Frank proved himself more than able to handle the course load. He was a fantastic reader and, while my educational training hadn't prepared me for handling his particular challenges, his classroom aide help make sure the class was rewarding for him.
Even though I left the world of education behind, those memories have stayed with me, and I'm especially reminded of Frank on World Autism Awareness Day every year. The global annual event, which enters its eighth year on April 2nd, endeavors to raise awareness and funds for research via a series of digital and actual events held the world over — including Autism Speaks' "Light It Up Blue" campaign. All of this deserves the biggest, bluest spotlight possible, but my thoughts also turn to Frank's classroom helper. The people who raise, teach and work with those with autism — parents, teachers, social workers, employers — give a great deal more than you or I might realize. And, as I discovered after talking to many of these individuals about their experiences, they wouldn't trade them for anything.
"Last October she couldn't identify any letters but the ones in her name, and now she can identify all the letters and write them all," Andrea Delaney says about her 5-year-old daughter, Tessa. Tessa was diagnosed with autism, sensory processing disorder (SPD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) almost a year ago. Sometimes she can be a handful for her mother, who works as an emergency room financial advocate, but Andrea doesn't seem to mind.
"She's not a toucher, but anytime she wants to sit together on the couch or snuggle in bed, I let her. Even for a few minutes, even if it's been a hard day and I need a break. She needs me to love her even at her worst and I do — even when it's hard."
Jerry Smith, the editor-in-chief of the horror website Icons of Fright, says pretty much the same thing about his six-year-old son Dexter. Dexter was diagnosed when he four years old, and while the news initially left Jerry feeling like it was somehow his fault, the two have since become closer than ever.
"Even when he's very upset, there's that sweet little boy looking at me and I know that if I can just bring that out of him, it'll be fine," says Jerry. "He's a constant source of inspiration."
Andrea and Jerry's personal connections to autism are bound by their familial devotion to their children. Despite the absence of such blood bonds, those who dedicate their working lives to kids and adults on the autism spectrum exhibit a loving determination that's equally strong. People like Amanda J., who has worked as a teaching assistant, a teacher and a counselor in classrooms devoted to the autistic for 16 years.

This was the first time I took my camera out and tried to photograph while ridding. I used my canon 5d and my canon 50mm f/1.8 (the plastic fantastic.) The qualities of these photographs is off do to the cheap lens But I actually walked out with some decent photos from this series.
I've now started using my canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens. It's a heavier set up but the qualitie is superior and I favor the wider focal lengths.
You will see more of these types of photographs in the near future
Enjoy life and keep moving forward
Almost every night I would have a dream of my son but on this particular one I had a dream that my 1 year old son was running through a field in pure happiness. The dream was so peaceful and uplifting, it put me in a great mood for the rest of the day. I tried to recreate the dream as best as I could and these photographs are close to what I seen and felt. I love my son and his personality; every time I look at these I always laugh and smile, because the photo session was so great to see my son running around in an open field.
Enjoy life and keep moving forward!
-Julian Guevara
Winter is here, and along with it... Comes the slow season for my photography, but the good news is that this means I get to take my family out and do things we don't normally do in the busy season.
We had a some what spontaneous idea to take our son to the mountains and show him some snow for the first time. Considering what little snow we've had in the Angeles Forest, we had a blast! These 3 photographs are all I have to show, I was to busy sledding....
Enjoy life and keep moving forward,
Julian Guevara
I hope you stop by from time to time to check up on my work. I don't know how this blog will turn out. My hopes for these blogs is for you to get to know me and see the way I think when I create photographs.
Have a great day and keep moving forward,

To have a grounding in either Biblical or Koranic hermeneutics is very useful when it comes to understanding the deeper meanings of fake news stories and conspiracy-theories. I mean that, not in the banal sense that the stories found in the holy books of the world's major religious traditions are factually "untrue," but that in being non-factual narratives, they nonetheless always contain a deeper level of truth.
For example, let's imagine that, at a certain time and place in human history, people start telling themselves a new story about a deity who becomes human, and then dies. Let us also imagine that, over historical time, this story becomes highly appealing to almost half the world's population.
What is the deeper meaning of this story? Why have historical conditions come to demand of us that we begin to tell ourselves this story? Which insights about human nature, and about the nature of divinity, does the story implicitly contain? What does this story say about us, about our own configuration of consciousness?
It is superfluous whether or not the story is literally "true" – either way, it reveals deeper truths, because it tells us who, cognitively, we are. We are the people who have "built" this type of "kenotic" (self-emptying) god, so what does that say about us?
As Feuerbach wrote, man's three most central impulses are to will, to love and to know, and that is why Christians conceptualize a deity whose three primary characteristics are omnipotence, benevolence and omniscience.
Conspiracy-theories and fake news-stories should be read on the same allegorical level, insofar as they reveal the deepest pathologies and internal contradictions within the self-consciousness of their target-audiences.
For example, the Russiagate narrative implicitly revealed very deep truths about the most central and deepest internal contradiction in American self-consciousness, the inability to cognitively come to terms with multipolarity. This inability stems from the self-image which the United States as a political project has had since its foundation in the late 18th century. It was a product of the naïve enlightenment-impulse to "transcend history." Fukuyama's faux-Hegelian "end of history" discourse had been implicitly inscribed into American consciousness from day one. America had always conceptualized itself as "the shining city on the hill" – that is to say, as a post-historical utopia. By blatantly misrepresenting Hegel, Fukuyama merely made this thematic in American consciousness more explicit. Implicitly, it had always been there.
That story about the end of history started to unravel on September 11th, 2001. As Slavoj Žižek later argued, we can understand one aspect of 9/11 by asking ourselves "That pilot who flew the plane into the first tower – what did he have to say to us?"
Žižek suggested that the pilot's essential message to us was "Welcome back to history. The end of history has, in itself, ended."
But this implication that "the end of history" can itself end contradicts the very possibility of the United States' existence, because "transcending history" is one of its foundation-myths. "The end of history" is a deeply metaphysical idea, an example of secular transcendentalism.
And then suddenly, at the beginning of the 21st century, we find ourselves geo-politically playing by 19th century rules again. Geo-politically, the 19th century will never end. Contingent, empirical historical conditions now contradict the United States' foundational metaphysics.
This was what the Russiagate narrative was really about – an attempt to come to terms with the re-commencement of the process of world-history, as manifested in the new geo-political multipolarity.
Therefore, the Russiagate narrative contained very deep truths about the most central internal contradictions within American self-consciousness.
We can quite fruitfully apply the same kind of analysis to Ukraine's media-space. Many conspiracy-theories and fake news-stories of Ukrainian origin reveal the Ukrainian nation's very deepest insecurities.
The most central insecurity is the suspicion that they don't really exist.
For example, on June 3rd, a story originating from the UNIAN news-agency started to circulate through Ukraine's media-space. Apparently, Ukraine's most senior military prosecutor has begun an investigation into an alleged plot hatched between the governments of Romania and Russia to occupy parts of Ukraine, with the Romanian army occupying parts of Bukovina and the Odessa region. Chief Military Prosecutor Anatoly Matios announced the convening of an emergency meeting with the leadership of the Foreign Ministry, the General Staff, and SBU following the uploading of a provocative video on Youtube on May 26th. This video, titled "Romanian-Ukrainian War 2022" depicts a scenario wherein Romania and Moldova unite, following which Romania (with Russian diplomatic assistance) then encroaches on current Ukrainian territory, claiming the disputed territory of Bukovina to found a new "Romanian empire."
Ukraine's most senior military prosecutor, Anatoly Matios, seemed to take this video very seriously. He stated "I'm informing you - literally tomorrow, I'll personally add to the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations about the preparation (by understandable, but not procedurally identified persons) to commit especially serious crimes that impinge on the territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state. In connection with the arguments set out in the article, on Tuesday I will hold a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the General Staff and the Defense Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, the Foreign Intelligence Service, as well as the acting chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine. Everyone will receive legitimate instructions within the criminal proceedings."
But why would he react in this way to what is, ultimately, merely a provocative video?
The giveaway in Matios' wording is the phrase "the preparation (by understandable, but not procedurally identified persons) to commit especially serious crimes that impinge on the territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state…."
In other words, no actual suspects have been identified, which means that the narrative is metaphysical, and the fears which it expresses are metaphysical in nature.
Also, Matios sees discourse in itself, simply posting a video, as encroaching on the territorial integrity of Ukraine. He equates a notional or hypothetical occupation of Ukrainian territory, fantasized about in a provocative video, with an actual occupation.
This equation of the virtual with the physical is explicable insofar as it reveals the deep fear, felt pre-discursively by many Ukrainians, that Ukraine itself is merely a "virtual" country.
In addition, we might note that the number of residents of the Odessa region filing applications for Romanian passports doubled in 2018, a fact which Kiev interprets as a form of "colonization" in itself. Diplomatic hostilities also erupted between Hungary and Ukraine last October, following Ukrainian complaints about Hungarian consulates generously handing out Hungarian passports to current Ukrainian citizens. Over 100,000 ethnic Hungarians live in Ukraine's western Transcarpathia region. Ukrainian prosecutors promptly opened 370 criminal cases against Ukrainian citizens who have obtained Hungarian passports. In April, President Putin signed a decree to simplify procedures for people living in Donbass to obtain Russian passports.
Russia, Romania, Hungary.
Meanwhile, the Polish government is financing Roman Catholic missionaries and cultural institutions in Kiev and Western Ukraine. Rather than simply issuing passports, they prefer the attempt to engineer a more gradual and culturally deeper process of "Polanization."
Ukraine's existential fear is that everybody will take their slice of the cake – demographically and, eventually, perhaps even territorially.
A lot of people living in Crimea were predicting precisely that kind of scenario in Spring 2014. It was a widely held belief among Crimeans then that, within 5 or 10 years, a nation-state called "Ukraine" would no longer exist. The secession of Crimea and Donbass was thought likely to begin a domino-effect of balkanization, with Ukrainian citizens living on the borderlands of Poland, Hungary and Romania all deciding to break away. The punitive military operation against the civilian population of Donbass which has been ongoing since spring 2014 was devised to intimidate other regions into not seceding. From a Ukrainian perspective, the central purpose of the war in Donbass is not to re-integrate Donbass. Most Ukrainians understand that is impossible.
The real purpose of the military operation against the civilian population of Donbass is to serve as a warning to the populations of Western Transcarpathia, Bukovina, Kharkov, Odessa, etc….
Ultimately, the best explanation for the over-reaction of Anatoly Matios to what is, ultimately, only a provocative video is this:
Ukrainian fears concerning Romanian territorial ambitions, manifested as wild conspiracy-theories, reveal a much deeper fear – namely, the fear that "Ukraine" itself does not really exist, that Ukraine is merely an inorganic amalgam of Tatars, Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, Russians, etc….
But Ukrainians can't ask themselves that question out loud – "Do we really exist?"
So the question finds expression in other ways – in the form of conspiracy-theories and fake news.
Just as Americans can't ask themselves certain questions out loud.
"Is multipolarity really happening?"
"Why did we fail to lead the rest of the world to the end of history?"
So these ineffable questions also find expression in the form of fake news and conspiracy-theories, Russiagate being the standout exemplar.
These "stories" reveal our deepest fears, and the most central internal contradictions within our normative grasp of ourselves.
You see, whether by design or otherwise, everything is an allegory.

|Tonight's the night, in Auckland for one night only, for the first time ever The Little Boys Room will be taking to the stage for your viewing pleasure as part of the Auckland Pride Festival. Prepare yourself for a night of camp and cocky cabaret with some of New Zealand's finest and award-winning gender illusionists. Producer and Creator, Genevieve Fowler says the show is a chance for all of the boys to get together, to show off and have a bit of a party. "There's been a big creative boom in drag in New Zealand and there have been so many new kings who've come out of the woodwork this year - myself included," she says. "Its unprecedented that there are enough of us nationwide to put on a dedicated drag king cabaret. It takes guts to go from humping your bedroom mirror to humping the floor of a gay bar - so we're celebrating that! We often get overlooked in both the drag and cabaret communities so the show is a chance for us to start giving that talent a dedicated space to thrive. It's a weird, wonderful and scary thing that we do and it's important to cultivate this brotherhood of kiwi kings." Expect to see an astounding variety of styles, from candy-pink camp dandy boys to vintage vaudevillian burlesque, butch hunks, celebrity impersonators and strippers and dorks and suave gents - it's going to be a riot. Genevieve says drag is 'satire', "It's vibrant and inspiring and entertaining as all hell but, at its heart, it's taking the piss of the mainstream as hard as it possibly can. "Gender norms are silly and artificial and deserve to be questioned and mocked. And masculinity especially is so damaging and odd and repressive. As a king, it's a very fun concept to play with." Some may think that the kings get a lot less attention then the over-the-top queens on the block, Genevieve says it's a bit of a PR problem if anything and most people don't know what a drag king is. "I don't think we're inherently less popular than the queens." she says. "More and more we're seeing proof that kings, given the chance, are just as outlandish, entertaining, skilled and visually stunning as the queens. Queens are recognisable, they're a character people know how to categorise and interact with." "Another component is of course prejudice," she says, "There's a big perception that queer women simply don't have the exuberance or plain talent to pull off what the boys do, or that masculinity is too boring to effectively parody. We're seen as dykes in our dad's suit jackets as opposed to the multidisciplinary artists. We have to work hard to get over that handicap and to get visibility in the both the queer and performing arts communities." Adamant that drag still has a place in society today, Genevieve says to imply otherwise is to imply that drag is outdated or unfashionable. "I think it will always be important to have performance art that questions the gender roles which are increasingly pernicious and damaging in our society. "I think it will always be important for gender queer people and cross dressers to have a way to express themselves. And honestly I think there are always going to be people who find a man in a sequinned dress lip-syncing to Abba entertaining. Drag has is important and entertaining and fulfilling and I think it will always have social value." Wellington, watch out! The boys will be headed your way for Wellington Pride week March 11th!

Omega Recon Reports
The Omega Recon Reports were a series of reports available on LEGO.com's club website, located in the "Inside Scoop" section. The reports featured the Hero Recon Team as they followed Alpha 1 Team during Mission: Catch 'Em and Cuff 'Em.
Careful what you wish for!
"I'm bored!" I said. I shouldn't have said it, it was asking for trouble! After we mopped up that business on Quatros, things had been quiet, I mean REALLY quiet. Not even a feline-bot up a tree. Zib even took a day off – I have NEVER seen the Professor take a holiday.
Even when Rocka and Furno were sent out after VOLTIX, that was over before the Recon Teams got equipped. We should have known something was wrong right there, it was too easy. Of course, he was letting himself get captured!
You know the rest – the vortex in the Villain Storage Unit, all the bad guys breaking out – now we've got more on than we can handle. It's Catch 'em and Cuff 'em time!
The Manufacturing Units are working overtime on new robots and these awesome Hero Cuffs...if there's a silver lining to all this, it's the sweet upgrades they're handing out! You should see Furno's aqua gear! Surge's Duo Plating Armour! Breez's Hex Energy Shield! I can't wait to get my hands on them!
Anyway, we're on our way to Scylla after JAWBLADE and some friends of his. Furno says he's going to fry some fish! I'll let you know how that goes down.
Recon Team Alpha Out.
Grand Theft Speed-cycle!
So, it looks like Speeda Demon can add ANOTHER crime to his Rap Sheet! Turns out he left with one of the prototype Ultra-Mach Speed Cycles which was very much "TWOCked" (Taken Without Owner's Consent)!
We've all had our eyes on one of those – Razor Wheels, Wing Blades, Quintronic Transnuclear engine system and reinforced exhaust – it's a thing of beauty. To think he got his greasy mitts on one before anyone else!
He's headed for Kollix IV, probably looking to knock out the Interstellar Navigation Beacon at the north pole. That would mess up space-traffic for weeks! So Stormer's on his way out there now. He got a full XL upgrade with those new modular scout drones. Want! Need!
Kollix IV is cold. Not 'fresh', not 'crisp', not 'a bit chilly', I mean a few degrees above absolute zero. I mean thousands of miles of frozen methane, toxic slush and corrosive snow. Can't say I'm looking forward to it, but some of the guys are bringing their snowboards. I think they're being very optimistic!
Anyway, got to get these Recon teams organized. We're not getting any instructions from Mission Control, they're just busy I guess.
Recon Team Omega Out.
Adventures on Planet YUCK!
Did I complain about Kollix IV? Tell you what, I take it ALL BACK. I'd rather spend a month on that big spiky iceball and spend the next year defrosting my circuits with a blowtorch than spend one more second on Z'chaya!
First, it smells of unwashed athletic components left in someone's locker. It's as hot as an oven and muggy as anything, like someone's left the steam cleaner running all night. The moisture condenses on your armor so you're constantly dribbling all over the place. Everything is sticky, or acidic, or tries to sting you or eat you...and it's YUCKY!
Anyway, we'd tracked Toxic Reapa back to his home planet where he was intent on mutating the locals into mini-versions of himself! We were surprised to see a Rookie like Evo get such a tough assignment, even with his new anti-toxic armor, power boots, plasma weapon and Tank Arm, but I guess you gotta start somewhere!
Wouldn't be my choice of first assignment. A super-villain on his home turf? Do you go with your gut or do it by the book? Take risks or play it safe? Problem is, even with special shields and anti-toxins, Toxic Reapa's signature attack is MESSY. Big globs of tacky, green, gooey, get everywhere, jam-up-the-works, syrupy ooze...never mind that it's corrosive, poisonous and kind of deadly! You get hit and you can't move, you're a sitting duck! It also seeps under your bodyplates, like it knows where it's going...weird. I must tell the Professor when we get back.
Speaking of which, anyone seen Zib? In fact has anyone heard from anybody in Mission Control? When I get a second I'm going up there to give them a piece of my mind!
Recon Team Omega Out.
Just in case I've made the BREAKOUT missions sound easy or routine, I've got a story for you...
Voltix had gone straight to Tansari VI, no surprise there, he needed power and they've power to burn. So we'd prepped Stringer for a straight takedown and dropped him next to the Energy Collection Array, so far so normal.
I'd always wanted to see the ECA on Tansari VI, I mean it's a technical marvel and everything. Turns out you can't see much! The whole thing is enveloped by this thick fog and if it wasn't for the lightning you wouldn't be able to make anything out at all. This made locating Voltix pretty tricky. Luckily he was stealing power storage cells. They glow in the dark!
So Stringer moves in with his new Quad Amplitude Mega Decibel Sound Blaster, does his party piece, cuffs Voltix and then...gets flattened by CORE HUNTER!
Now some us were made long enough ago that we knew Core Hunter when he was one of the good guys, before he went into business for himself, if you know what I mean. Now he's a bounty hunter and after a while sitting on the fence, well, he's obviously picked a side!
We can't call for help because of the atmospheric disturbance and we can't get the dropship down because of the lightning! Core Hunter is standing over Stringer and about to steal his Hero Core, when, out of the clouds, comes BULK, plasma launcher at the ready! He chases that thief right off-planet!
Quite a show! So Bulk is tracking Core Hunter and we'll catch up with him before the takedown, or at least that's the plan! Don't like the idea of leaving him with no back-up but we've a cargo hold full of cuffed up villains and Stringer needs some R&R so we're headed back to HERO FACTORY.
Still can't raise Mission Control, just getting static now. Getting a bit concerned really, I mean, they can't THAT busy surely? We should have been told that Core Hunter was in the area...I suppose someone must be dealing with it...
Recon Team Omega Out.
- The first Omega Recon report erroneously lists the narrator as Recon Team "Alpha".
- The second Omega Recon report mistakenly identifies Speeda Demon's Nitro Rocket Motorbike as Stormer's Ultra Mach Speed Cycle

Open Letter to Jill Mountford of Momentum's Steering Committee
Dear Jill Mountford,
Recently you and other members/supporters of the Alliance for Workers Liberty set up what is described as 'An unofficial magazine by Momentum activists'. Those who are acquainted with the tactics of Trotskyist groups are well aware of how they operate behind nominally independent fronts or groups. The SWP has done this for years. Clarion is no different.
Clarion's editorial board consists of people, nearly all of whom are or have been members of the AWL. Almost the only one who is independent is Labour NEC member Rhea Wolfson, who is a left-Zionist. The AWL is unique on the Left for being a supporter of Israel as a Jewish state and imperialism. [see Debate Between Tony Greenstein & Daniel Randall of the AWL] For example, throughout the Iraq war, AWL refused to call for the withdrawal of US and British troops. It likewise supported the presence of imperialist forces in Afghanistan and at one point, despite its anti-Islamic politics today, supported the CIA sponsored Mujahedeen.
Michael Chessum's Why I voted to remove Jackie Walker as Momentum's Vice-Chair
The reason I am writing to you is that Mike Chessum, a member of the Steering Committee of Momentum and an AWL sympathiser recently wrote an article for Clarion explaining why he voted to remove Jackie Walker as Vice-Chair of Momentum. Chessum consistently misquoted what Jackie said in order to defend the way he voted.
Jackie submitted a reply and heard nothing from you for days. I still don't know if you are going to allow her a right of reply. I myself submitted a reply to you and followed it up. I have received no response.
My response concentrates on Chessum's inability to understand the connection between the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, Zionism and Israel. It is the dishonest attempt of supporters of the Israeli state, including the AWL, to conflate criticism of Zionism and Israel's barbarism with anti-Semitism which lies at the heart of the Right's anti-Semitism witch-hunt.
Chessum says he had no alternative but to vote to remove Jackie Walker as Vice-Chair of Momentum's Steering Committee. On the contrary, as a socialist he had no alternative but to defend Jackie Walker from the attacks of the media and the Zionists of the Jewish Labour Movement [JLM]. Chessum employs a number of straw men to defend voting the way he did:
- No one has suggested his vote was motivated by an attempt to stitch up factional opponents in order to protect Lansman and Momentum's leadership.
- No one has suggested that Chessum's vote is explained by a 'Zionist conspiracy' This is the normal Zionist and AWL caricature of their opponents arguments.
- Chessum accepts that there was more than 'a grain of truth' in the allegation that his vote was a result of pressure from the Right and the press. Except that it is more than just a grain. When socialists are under attack by the bourgeois press, the Labour Right and the Zionist movement, we defend them. Period.
There was a wall to wall attack on Jackie Walker from the Sun (ANTI-SEMITISM ROW Fury as Jeremy Corbyn ally claims Holocaust Memorial Day is not inclusive enough) to The Telegraph's "Momentum chief Jackie Walker suspended from Labour over Holocaust Memorial Day", comments which cited 'the outspoken campaigner (as) saying she had not found a definition of anti-Semitism she could work with' (which was more accurate than Chessum's citation)! The Independent reported "Momentum set to sack vice-chair Jackie Walker after Holocaust Memorial Day" comments: The Zionist rag the Jewish Chronicle, edited by Henry Jackson Society member Stephen Pollard, reported that Jon Lansman had 'reached the end of his tether".
The deliberate leaking to the press of the intention to remove Jackie as Vice-Chair was clearly approved of by Lansman. It replicates the methodology of the witch-hunters of the Compliance Unit. Chessum freely admits to this and yet he and you have no problem with this. That you went along with this, when it was in your power to put a stop to it, is an act of betrayal.
Chessum says, quite disingenuously, that 'Walker is still on the Steering Committee [SC], and is being actively defended against expulsion from the Labour Party.' Do you not understand that the very act of removing Jackie as Vice-Chair increased her chances of being expelled? The very fact that the SC voted to refuse to oppose Jackie's suspension is proof of this.
After Owen Smith attacked the AWL as 'anti-Semites' during his debate against Jeremy Corbyn, the AWL's Daniel Randall was forced to admit that the Labour Right were 'instrumentalising' i.e. weaponising anti-Semitism in its attacks on the Left.. A good example of this was when Jim Murphy attempted to block Rhea Wolfson, herself a Zionist, from standing for the NEC because of her association with the 'anti-Semitic' Momentum.
Chessum's suggestion that 'none of Walker's reported comments have been about Palestine and Israel.' is unreal and demonstrates either ignorance or wilful blindness. Jackie Walker's comments about the Holocaust and anti-Semitism are intimately related to Palestine, Zionism and Israel. 'Anti-Semitism' is the first defence of Zionism when Israel is accused of crimes against the Palestinians.
The Holocaust has been repeatedly used as a justification for Israel's apartheid, its atrocities and regime of military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. The Holocaust is the primary justification for the existence of the Israeli state itself. For example Menachem Begin, Israel's Prime Minister, compared Yassir Arafat during Israel's siege of Beirut to Hitler in his bunker in 1982. According to Begin the alternative to Israel's genocidal war was 'Auschwitz'. See Calling your political rival a Nazi is a time-hallowed tradition in Israel.
Israel's Labour Foreign Minister, Abba Eban told the UN that "I do not exaggerate when I say that it [the June1967 map] has for us something of a memory of Auschwitz." The Green Line between Israel and the West Bank is referred to in Israel as the 'Auschwitz border'. Netanyahu told the 2015 World Zionist Congress that it was the Palestinian Grand Mufti who was responsible for Hitler's Final Solution. As Tom Segev, an Israeli historian explained, the only image of a Palestinian in Yad Vashem, the Zionists Holocaust museum in Jerusalem '(is) a photo featured prominently on a wall depicting the Mufti sieg heiling a group of Nazi storm troopers'. Its purpose is to ensure that 'the visitor is left to conclude that there is much in common between the Nazis' plan to destroy the Jews and the Arabs' enmity to Israel.' [The 7th Million, p.425] The effigy of assassinated Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, was dressed in Nazi uniform by his political opponents.
On 17th September, over a week before Labour Party conference and the 'training event', I wrote a blog post The Jewish Labour Movement and its Political Lynching of Jackie Walker. Even then it was clear that Jackie Walker was being set up for a new witch-hunt by those who refused to accept her original reinstatement.
Jackie spoke on 12th September alongside John McDonnell at an LRC fringe meeting at TUC Conference in Brighton. As a result, McDonnell came under severe criticism from (amongst others) Jeremy Newmark of the JLM. This resulted in McDonnell withdrawing from a JLM rally at which he had been due to speak.
Jackie walked into a honey trap when she attended the JLM 'training event' at Labour Party conference. However, the remarks she made were not, in any way, 'insensitive', 'anti-Semitic tropes' 'ill-informed' or 'a distortion of history' as Chessum argues.
To sustain his argument, Chessum shamelessly misquotes Jackie Walker alleging she said 'Holocaust Memorial Day should focus on other genocides as well, or non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust' In fact she said ''wouldn't it be wonderful if Holocaust Day were shared by all people who had experienced genocide'. But even if she had said what Chessum falsely claims, what is anti-Semitic or offensive about it?
Zionism has consistently reserved the Holocaust as something unique to the Jews. To Elie Wiesel to compare the Holocaust with the sufferings of others was a "betrayal of Jewish history". [Wiesel, Against Silence, 146]. According to Prof. Yehuda Bauer Zionism's pre-eminent Holocaust historian the Nazis only attempted to annihilate one people, the Jews: "Roma were not Jews, therefore there was no need to murder all of them." [The History Teacher, Vol. 26, No. 3. pp. 385-386] To this day the US Holocaust Museum refuses to include the Roma victims of the Holocaust.
If you go to the Holocaust Memorial Day site and click on Holocaust you will be taken to a page that says 'Between 1941 and 1945, the Nazis attempted to annihilate all of Europe's Jews.' There is no mention of the Holocaust beginning in 1939 with the extermination of the Disabled, the Euthanasia/ T-4 program, the Roma/Gypsies or any other victims.
If you click Nazi Persecution you will come to a page which begins 'Singling out Jews for complete annihilation in the Holocaust was not the full extent of Nazi persecution.' Although it goes on to mention other groups, they do this in the context of the 'persecution of disabled people and gay people'. They do not mention that the latter were also exterminated.
Although Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur are listed underneath Nazi Persecution, it is clear that these are lesser genocides. There is no mention of the extermination of 10 million Africans in the Belgian Congo or the estimated 14 million Africans in the slave trade.
This is why Jackie was quite right in what she said. Chessum passed judgement over something he knows nothing about. What he did do was to vote to restrict freedom of speech in the Labour Party and Momentum to debate these issues, which is of course what the Zionist movement wants. In Israel free speech can cost you your liberty if you are Palestinian in Britain you get defamed and vilified.
Chessum also misquoted Jackie as saying that ''Jewish schools may well not need police protection.' There has however been a deliberate campaign to stoke up fears of anti-Semitism in Britain in order to alienate Jews from British society. The Zionist 'charity', the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, has deliberately inflated the threat of anti-Semitism through the use of bogus polls. The respected Institute for Jewish Policy Research described CAA's poll, which claimed 'more than half of all British Jews feel that antisemitism now echoes the 1930s" as verging into 'irresponsible territory'. There is no reason to believe that Jewish schools are under more of a threat than for example Muslim schools.
Chessum also misquotes Jackie as saying that 'there was no definition of anti-Semitism that she could agree with'. In fact she said that she had 'heard no definition of anti-Semitism she could work with' at the 'training event'. That was a statement of fact. The JLM 'trainer' had been pushing the EUMC Working Definition of Anti-Semitism which conflates criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. It is a discredited definition and in 2013 it was removed by the Fundamental Rights Agency from its website. EU drops its 'working definition' of anti-Semitism The recent Home Affairs Select Committee Report, which called for anti-Zionism to be criminalised, has tried to resurrect the Working Definition under a new name. There are a number of definitions of anti-Semitism. I prefer the [hostility%20%20to]simple 'hostility to Jews as Jews' or 'hostility towards Jews as not Jews' [Patterns of Prejudice, Vol. 37 No. 2 June 2003].
Jackie attended what a 'training session' not 'a semi-public event'. Jackie Walker not only had the right, but the duty, to raise questions since the definition of anti-Semitismis contested. In Chessum and the AWL's simple universe there is only 'left anti-Semitism' and ironically they too have been caught up by it! Jackie was not at the event as Momentum Vice-Chair but as an individual. She was of course targeted as Momentum's Vice Chair but it is to your shame that instead of defending her you voted to remove her as Vice Chair.
Chessum repeats the lie, for which Jackie was acquitted, that Jews 'were the "chief financiers" of the slave trade.' This is a gross distortion, ripped out of a private conversation by the Israel Advocacy Movement. If you should read my article in Open Democracy The lynching of Jackie Walker you will find that Jackie also said 'I will never back anti-Semitism but neither am I a Zionist'. She then went on to say, in a subtle and nuanced discussion, which the AWL's crude polemics are incapable of understanding, that 'many Jews, my ancestors too, were the chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade… so who are the victims and what does it mean . We are victims and perpetrators, to some extent by choice. And having been a victim does not give you a right to be a perpetrator.' By missing out 'many' Chessum suggested that Jackie was saying that Jews as a collective were the chief financiers of the slave trade.
Chessum and the AWL joined in the witch hunt of Jackie Walker on the basis of false allegations that she had said that 'Jews were responsible for the slave trade and an "African holocaust". To the Zionists, a Black-Jewish anti-Zionist is unacceptable. Jackie has been in receipt of a torrent of abusive tweets, most of which question how a Black person can be Jewish.
The JLM is not a Jewish section of the Labour Party. Jewish anti-Zionists like myself cannot join it. It is the British wing of the racist Israeli Labour Party, whose leader Isaac Herzog recently declared that his nightmare was waking up to a Palestinian Prime Minister in Israel. Who needs the Right when we have Isaac Herzog? Herzog also recently declared that he wanted to dispel the false impression that the ILP were 'Arab Lovers' Herzog slammed for remark about 'Arab lovers' Imagine if someone had said their nightmare was waking up to a Jewish Prime Minister in this country? Or talked of 'Jew lovers'? The National Front used to accuse us of being 'nigger lovers'. This is the real racism that is the currency of debate in Israel that the AWL and Chessum defend by omission.
Chessum and you Ms Mountford have comprehensively misquoted Jackie Walker. It is incumbent upon you to reinstate Jackie as Vice-Chair of Momentum with an apology offered for the stress and distress it has caused her.
As Dr Brian Klug, a Fellow of Oxford University observed, in a lecture (which the Zionists tried to cancel) at the Jewish Museum in Berlin on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, 'a label can turn into a libel when it is pinned on the wrong lapel. Antisemitism has rightly been called a 'monster'. But false accusations of antisemitism are monstrous too. For all these reasons and more, the word matters a great deal.'

"There are more than a dozen films a year done here," says Les Weldon, a US producer who has shot 15 films over more than 10 years in Bulgaria, most of them with Nu Image-owned Nu Boyana Film Studios in Sofia. "We've had Morgan Freeman, Antonio Banderas, John Cusack, Ben Kingsley, and a host of other world-class actors shooting in Bulgaria. We've also had our share of big-name directors, like Brian De Palma (The Black Dahlia) and Bruce Beresford (The Contract)."
Production levels look set to increase this year. Nu Boyana Studios is particularly busy, catering for Millennium Films' Ninja, which is filming, as well as Lionsgate's Conan and Nu Image's Finding Rin Tin Tin, both due to shoot later this year.
Gold Circle Films will also begin shooting The 4th Kind (working title), starring Milla Jovovich, at Nu Boyana Studios from the end of this month, and in Alaska. The film's producer Paul Brooks says he chose Bulgaria because he found it "cost effective to build there". He has also been impressed by the Bulgarian crew so far, and insists he will be shooting for "several weeks" in the country.
Bulgaria has a long tradition of film-making, but since the fall of Communism it has taken on a more US flavour. Avi Lerner's Nu Image bought Boyana studios in 2006, and since then Nu Boyana chief David Varod has been transforming the formerly state-owned facility, remedying years of neglect and adding more infrastructure. Work is underway on a permanent New York set which will feature 2.5 km of fully-dressed exteriors and interiors; 800sq m is complete. Varod also plans 10 new stages, giving Nu Boyana nearly 18,000sq m of sound stages.
Varod is not alone in his desire to improve Bulgarian facilities. UFO International Productions has opened a new facility in the town of Gorna Malina, near Sofia. The Bulgarian Film and Television Center (Bftc) has nearly 4,000sq m of sound stages, a 2,000sq m horizon pool, and a 45,000sq m backlot.
Both Nu Boyana and UFO's Bftc are focused on international productions. "We operate entirely as an American company in Eastern Europe, so we can offer US producers greater comfort," says Phillip Roth, managing partner of UFO and managing director of Sofia-based production service provider Bufo.
Some producers, however, have not even needed to use such studios. For Scott Mann's UK action thriller The Tournament, starring Ving Rhames and Robert Carlyle, the crew built tailored sets on an existing site. "The studio stuff we did at an old airfield in a hangar where we built three sets. We also used the airstrip, going in and out of the hangar over the course of the shoot," Mann says.
As a result, the film-maker says he achieved the cost savings he was looking for, but not where he expected. "For the action sequences, I thought we'd be able to buy cars cheaper there, but that was actually more expensive. It was cheaper to get 12 cars from the UK and transport them there. But when we needed an extra camera, it was such an insignificant cost, whereas in the UK it would have cost a fortune," he says.
However, the territory is still finding its feet and is not yet able to cater for big-budget US studio productions. Roth says Bulgaria best serves productions with budgets between $2m-$10m. Productions with more money to spend tend to look at the Czech Republic or Germany, he says.
The decline of the US dollar has also hurt producers shooting in Bulgaria. "It has meant that what used to be very, very inexpensive is now only moderately inexpensive," Weldon says.
Bulgarian crews are considered by international producers to be fairly solid, but although most heads of department in Bulgaria speak English, a language barrier does exist when it comes to communicating efficiently with the entire crew.
One of the advantages of shooting in Bulgaria, however, is that obtaining permits is normally straightforward, says Weldon. Producers should have a local locations manager to interact with the authorities, who tend to be supportive, "particularly with more difficult public locations. In several instances they actually helped us reduce costs," he says.
As yet, Bulgaria does not have any financial incentives, despite the best effort of local producers to convince Sofia to implement a tax rebate. "We're trying to put together a programme similar to Hungary's," Roth says. "If Bulgaria's going to stay competitive, it's got to be done."

RIGA - Compared to 2006 and 2007, the Latvian economy has become stronger, more robust and more sustainable against external disturbances and risks, says Swedbank Chief Economist Martins Kazaks in an interview with Nozare.lv. He stressed that businesses have gained strength by improving their efficiency, competitiveness, conquering new markets and market shares, introducing new products, and creating deposit savings.
Kazaks believes that businesses are now in much better shape than in 2007, when they were "fat from eating cakes."
A real estate bubble no longer exists, and banks have also become more durable. There are no such systematically important banks, such as Parex Bank, that the state should bail out in case of problems, added Kazaks. Most of the banks have holding companies in the Nordic countries, which could take care of them. The economist believes that the state finances are also in better condition, although there still is a budget deficit.
But one of the weak points is households. The level of unemployment is high, the deposit portfolio is not increasing, and the growth in income is being spent, which means that the possibility of surviving another crisis for households is slim, explained Kazaks.
"All in all, the economy is stronger because there are less extremes, but that does not mean that we are immune from global problems," he stressed.
Kazaks noted that currently, a peaceful period in the global economy cannot be expected. "Maybe a period of apathy, when again something is promised and believed, but not a peaceful period. This can be expected only when structural reforms take place. Currently, the solutions are not widespread," he said.

That's a legitimate concern, but I presume that the use case here is that an account would already have an authenticator code on their account so that they don't have to encounter this scenario. I mean, the means to secure one's account are there and aren't too hard to implement; why take your chances with it?
"Players now need to wait 7 days to remove Ironman mode, in case a player has been hijacked. This can be bypassed by registering an authenticator to the account."
So now you hijack the account, register an authenticator and remove Ironman?
Then what's the point in having the 7 days wait period at all?

Josephine: The Dazzling Life of Josephine Baker
Article excerpt
Josephine: The Dazzling Life of Josephine Baker Written by Patricia Hruby Powell Illustrated by Christian Robinson Chronicle, 2014, unpaged, ISBN 978-1-4521-0314-3
Josephine Baker was an intriguing character who lived a fascinating life. She leftthe United States and moved to Paris, France, where she became a "colored superstar" who was a dancer, singer, actress, fashion icon, and mother of 12 adopted children from diverse racial backgrounds. This free-verse biography of her life does not disappoint in that both the text and the illustrations are excellent. Powell's text captures the vivaciousness and sass of Josephine's personality. "Josephine-/ born poor, / out of wedlock / in honky-tonk town-/ rambunctious / SAINT LOUIS, Missouri-/ home of barrelhouses, / nickle shots of whisky, / and gambling halls-/ home of / RAGTIME MUSIC-/ raggedy black music-/ gotta-make-the-rent-music- / lift-my-soul music-/ GOLDEN-AGE music. / Josephine's mama scrubbed floors, / but would've rather been / DANCING-/ where you were free of / how-to-pay-the-rent, / where you could be right there / in your body / nowhere else, where you could / let your body LAUGH. …

LONDON (The Guardian) - Louis van Gaal has admitted there have been times this season when Manchester United have left him feeling "bored or angry", following a run of low-scoring games that has led to sustained criticism of the manager and accusations he has abandoned the club's attacking principles.
Van Gaal's team made such a struggle of beating Sheffield United, ninth in League One, in the FA Cup on Saturday there were ironic cheers after a shot at goal and Paul Scholes, in his role as a television pundit, said the manager looked bored on the touchline, along with just about everyone else watching the match.
The same complaint has followed United throughout much of van Gaal's reign but this is the first time he has confessed to finding their performances monotonous and, though he continued to defend his team against the "very negative" media, he said he understood the supporters' dark humour.
"There are matches that I have enjoyed very much. Against Chelsea I enjoyed it but the result was 0-0 and we could have lost. There are also matches where I'm very bored or angry because we are not disorganising our opponent's defence but that is football. It's not every match that every club is playing fantastically, football that attracts the people.
"They have been ironic (against Sheffield United) but that's an expression of the fans and that's good. The players were frustrated and the fans were frustrated. But the fans also have to know we can't always play fantastic football and that was also the case in former days when it didn't happen. I'm sorry about that, but it is like that."
United are fifth in the Premier League, nine points behind the leaders, Arsenal, and endured an eight-match winless run before beating Swansea City in their last league fixture.
The manager's job has come under scrutiny and it was put to him that his assistant Ryan Giggs came from the same background as Scholes and Gary Neville, another regular critic, and must want more adventurous football.
"I want that also," van Gaal said. "We have to be able to do that. But that's why an opponent is there and they want to prevent us from doing that."
Van Gaal, who will be missing the injured Bastian Schweinsteiger for the trip to St James' Park, described Newcastle as "playing very well" despite their position in the Premier League's relegation places.

I love women. I really do. I love their looks, their talks, walks and laughter. And I love especially their way of wearing their femininity. Like soft warriors, amazons of joy. That is why I design clothes. It is a tribute to the diversity of fimininity. So I could not go for anything less than handmade and original pieces. Colorful and playful forms. Made from exclusive and quirky fabrics. Just like how women are, special and unique. I simply design some extra happiness for them.
It started with a dress. A complicated dress that my mother received from her mother as a gift. I remember she wore it when she went out. She looked fantastic and very feminine in it. Now the dress is mine and one day it will be of my daughter. I designed a skirt inspired by that dress. The other pieces from the collection are all very feminine pieces that convey a strong personality. when I was working on it in my studio (it was snowing outside!) I suddenly heard the song 'Summer in the City' by the Lovin'Spoonful. It was just perfect.

10 Jumbo Russet Potatoes
1 small grated onion
8 Tablespoons flour
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon Rosemary
1 tsp salt
canola oil for frying
Directions:Peel and cube potatoes. Boil potatoes until tender. If you want to make potato skins, using your raw potato skins, please see this recipe: Potato Skins, using Raw Potato skins
Drain and pass through a potato ricer, into a mixing bowl.
Mix onion, flour, eggs, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Once mixed, pour over potatoes and mix with a fork.
On a floured surface(I put flour on parchment paper for easier clean up). Take about a cup of mixture and roll into 1 inch logs. Cut log into tots.
Heat a few inches of oil in a dutch oven to 350 degrees. Place small batches of tots into oil and fry a few minutes until browned. Drain tater tots on a wire rack, placed on a covered cookie sheet.
This recipe makes a ton; however, you can freeze leftovers individually on a sheet pan in the freezer. Once frozen, place tots in a gallon size bag in the freezer.
You may reheat tots at 400 for 12-15 minutes.
