Oven Roasted Mahi-Mahi in olive oil and lemon juice is delicious, flavorful and ready in just 30 minutes.
We love making delicious and easy fish dishes, like our popular Mediterranean Salmon, Oven Roasted Spanish Mackerel and Oven Roasted Red Snapper.
Oven Roasted Mahi-Mahi with Roasted Grape Tomatoes and Roasted Asparagus is such an easy and healthy dinner that you can make in only 30 minutes. This meal is light, refreshing, and satisfying, while made in a very short time. I used frozen Mahi-Mahi filets, as they tend to be cheaper, but fresh fish would be even better. For frozen filets, make sure you let them thaw before cooking.
Rubbed with garlic and olive oil, the fillets are drizzled with lemon juice, sprinkled with sea salt and black pepper. I added some mini grape tomatoes to the pan, as it pairs very well with the fish. Oven Roasted Mahi-Mahi is tasty, healthy and full of flavor meal.
Very easy to make, and perfect for quick and nutritious weeknight meals.
The meal is packed with lean protein and veggies.
Minimum dishes to clean, you just need two baking pans.
If you use frozen fish fillets, make sure you place them in the fridge way in advance so they can gradually thaw.
If using fresh fish fillets, I like to rinse them under cold water first and dry them with paper towels.
Don't skip the lemon zest, it adds an amazing flavor to the fish.
It's easiest to zest the lemons when they are whole, so first remove the zest from the lemon, before cutting it in half for juicing.
Adjust the garlic in this recipe to your own preference, if you like more add more.
If you would like to add a spicy kick to this recipe, sprinkle a little cayenne pepper over the fish fillets.
Don't overcook the fish, roast until the fish fillets are just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes.
When possible, choose wild caught fish, as it tastes better and is healthier.
Make sure the Mahi Mahi has a nice, vibrant color, that it looks fresh and moist.
Smell the fish, and don't be fooled, as fish should NOT smell fishy. That is a red flag and a sign that it's not fresh. Make sure the Mahi Mahi does not smell somewhat sour or like ammonia, in that case, it has gone bad and you need to toss it.
Fresh Mahi Mahi has a mild aroma, and it should smell similar to the sea.
How long can you keep fresh Mahi Mahi in the fridge?
Mahi Mahi can be kept for 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator before cooking, that if you just bought very fresh Mahi Mahi or if you just defrosted in the fridge frozen Mahi Mahi.
If you thawed the Mahi Mahi in the microwave or in cold water, you should cook it immediately.
What wine pairs well with Mahi Mahi?
You could pick from Chardonnayor or Pinot Noir as these wines have good acidity, which you definitely need to cut through the oiliness of the fish.
Oven Roasted Mahi-Mahi in olive oil and lemon juice, is delicious, flavorful and ready in just 30 minutes.
Lay the bottom of a baking sheet pan with parchment paper and brush with olive oil, then add the fish filets to the pan.
Brush the fish fillets all over with olive oil, rub in the lemon zest and garlic, then squeeze the juice from 1 lemon over the fish.
Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Toss the grape tomatoes in 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and add to the pan.
Top fish fillets with fresh thyme and roast until the fish fillets are just opaque in the center, about 10-15 minutes, depends how thick are the fillets.
In another baking sheet pan, add the asparagus, drizzle with olive oil, juice of half lemon, sea salt and pepper. Toss the asparagus to evenly coat with oil.
Roast on the top rack of the oven for just 10-15 minutes for a mildly cooked asparagus.
Remove fish from oven, discard the thyme sprigs and top with fresh thyme sprigs for serving and juice from the remaining half lemon.
Serve immediately with the roasted tomatoes and asparagus topped with feta crumbles.
This sounds absolutely delicious! I love how quick it is, and that asparagus looks so gorgeous. This is a perfect light Spring meal.
I LOVE Mahi-Mahi, I love your take on it and I love your photography!

The Principle of Excluded Middle in Aristotle
In my dissertation, I provide a systematic account of the principle of excluded middle (PEM) in Aristotle. This principle states that everything either is or is not (an ontological formulation) or that everything is either affirmed or denied (a logical formulation). I focus on questions such as the following: How are the different formulations of this principle related to one another? What is the relation between PEM and other Aristotelian principles, such as the principle of non-contradiction? Are there any exceptions to PEM, such as future contingents? What is PEM's place within Aristotle's ontology and syllogistic? And how does Aristotle argue against those who deny PEM in Metaphysics Γ 7?

Greenbuild 2016 Spotlights Health and Technology in Buildings
There is a growing sense that health and well-being is the defining issue of the next generation of green building. We know that green buildings provide health benefits for occupants, as recent research from Harvard shows that employees in green-certified buildings performed higher on cognitive tests than those in similarly high-performing buildings that were not green-certified.
But how are these health outcomes measured? A new generation of game-changing technology lets us "see" previously invisible dimensions of performance to gain insights that will help us design better buildings for people and the environment.
Technology and health played a large role in this year's Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Downtown Los Angeles. The Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, presented by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is the world's largest green building exposition of its type, providing a forum for the green building community to unite and address the world's most pressing problems. As part of this year's opening summit, USGBC and Aclima announced that they will work together to raise awareness, educate leaders and demonstrate cutting edge technology to advance health and real-time performance in the built environment.
The conference features an expo hall and a series of education sessions, where participants can learn from industry leaders and new green building practices. In our Unleashing Human Productivity Through Better IAQ session with Healthy Buildings, Aclima provided live environmental sensing in the conference room to demonstrate the relationship between indoor air quality and productivity. Over the course of the 90-minute presentation, carbon dioxide (CO2) climbed from 440 to over 1212 parts per million.
"We were able to see the concentration of CO2 climb as people came into the room — approaching levels that Simon Turner, the CEO of Healthy Buildings, described as 'approaching the dumb level'," said Chris Pyke, Aclima's chief strategy officer.
Pyke, who participated in a number of Greenbuild sessions, observed this shift in industry focus to health and well-being during his session The Promise of the Internet of Things for Existing Buildings with GreenBiz, WeWork, and Comfy. Where conversation two years ago would have focused primarily on energy conservation, the conversation this year centered on human experience and performance.
"What we're ultimately trying to do is create spaces that in operation, in reality, use less resources and provide superior human experience. And we don't want that to be a theoretical exercise, we want that to be a lived experience," says Pyke.
Check out our video for highlights from Greenbuild and how harnessing a new level of environmental intelligence in buildings will advance our health and wellbeing.
Three takeaways from Maastricht University: strategy, monitoring, and new research
Three Lessons from a Year of GRESB Health & Well-being Events


In addition to my other million Bank of America accounts, I've opened up another savings account which I've dubbed the House Account so I can start saving for my new house being built circa November.
I originally wanted to have $8,000 in that account to prepare for buying furniture, TV's, sound system, drapes, blinds, beds etc., but friends who already own houses told me that $5,000 should suffice quite nicely for a house this size.
I've started making contributions to this new House Account by putting 10% of my income in it. I might bump that up at some point if needed. As I mentioned before I'd like to pay for the whole house through one online business, but the initial expenses need to come from somewhere else, and this account is the place.
All my house expenses will begin coming up sometime around October 2007, so I have approximately 6 months to save up the House Account to an acceptable level. Hopefully I can push it far past $5,000 so I can keep some reserve cash laying around for miscellaneous house-related expenses.

Rent-to-own (also known as lease-option) is a popular real estate strategy in the US and has been making its way into Canada in "get-rich-quick through real estate" circles.
This agreement, between a landlord and tenant, involves the landlord selling the tenant the OPTION to buy the property at a fixed price at some point in the future (much like a call option for stocks). Often there will be an initial payment as well as a portion of the monthly rent payments being credited to the tenant. This might be useful for a tenant who has trouble getting a down payment together (but can afford to put away a little bit each month) or a buyer with credit issues that they're working out (who expects to be in a position to buy within the option period).
As an example, pretend I'm renting you my condo (which has been assessed at $156K) for $1350 / month. We agree that I will give you the OPTION (not the obligation) to purchase it for $160K at any time for the next 3 years, with an initial payment of $5K with $150 from each rent payment being credited towards the down payment. At the end of 3 years say the condo is now worth $165K and you have accumulated a $10,400 down payment (5000+150*12*3). You arrange for a 5% down mortgage, using the credit you've accumulated over the 3 years (which is worth 6.5% of the $160K ) with me using the other 1.5% to cover your closing costs (so you pay nothing more out of pocket and are now the owner of the property).
Say, instead, the real estate market tanks and you decide you don't want to pay $160K for a condo now worth $130K, you don't execute the option and at the end of the 3 years there are no further obligations (although the $10,400 is forfeit, the tenant does NOT get it back).
From the sellers perspective, they get to either sell at a price acceptable to them or earn a premium over market rental rates if the sale doesn't go through. Additionally, the tenants will take better care of the property (since they expect to own it) and will be very motivated to pay rent on time and honour their lease (since they could jeopardize the purchase if they don't).
From one perspective, between financially sophisticated individuals, this is a reasonable way to allow the seller to earn a premium by acting like an insurance company, taking on more risk in exchange for payment. Sadly, rent-to-own is often instead used to take advantage of unsophisticated renters who want to become buyers but don't have the means.
Often the tenant who isn't in a position to buy at the beginning of the lease term STILL won't be at the end of it (and will be $10K poorer for having gone through the exercise). Unsurprisingly tenants will be annoyed when this money is gone, and will often become destructive or difficult tenants if they aren't able to close on the deal (and the seller refuses to return their option payments).
From the sellers position it's a pretty good deal, as they can set the sale price higher than they expect it will be worth within the option period, and they get paid a premium over what they'd usually earn in rent. The law is often on their side if the market takes off and they decide to not honour the deal and fight the sale. That being said, judges will NOT be impressed by these sorts of shenanigans and will be looking for any excuse to rule in the tenant's favour.
I saw a classified ad from a woman who wanted to do a rent-to-own deal (with her as the tenant) in Toronto so I contacted her. Turns out her expectation was that she'd pay market rent, but her ENTIRE rent would be credited towards the eventual purchase of the property. Why she would expect any landlord to agree to this is beyond me, but she did.
I talked to a lawyer friend who talked to a lawyer friends of her's who specializes in real estate and they were of the opinion that lease-options were too untested legally in Canada to get into unless you were doing them in a big way (in which case they felt it might be worth the expense to research all the legal ramifications and develop the right contracts to make it a business). Their advice was to do a vendor-take-back mortgage if I wanted to provide seller financing. In the US, where these deals are far more common, there are also legal and ethical pitfalls. John T. Reed outlines some of them in an article about lease options (and offers a report for sale with more info).
More information about lease options is available here (general overview), here (with a bunch of links to more articles at the bottom) and here (details lease options in BC with a couple of quotes from Mr. Reed).
I also wonder from the landlord perspective how you would handle the tax implications which would only add to your costs as now you probably need an accountant in addition to legal counsel. And if the additional tax issues would be worth it.
For instance, in your example, $1800/year goes to a potential down payment. Normally, all rental income is taxed as that – income. But is this $1800 income? Deferred income? Or does it form part of a capital gain? You won't know until three years out thus creating complications of how you file for three years, and do you refile if the option is exercised etc.
Essentially, if you are a small (only a few rental properties) rent-to-own landloard the handling of your taxes could just be an unneeded frustration.
I have been interested in Rent-to-Own option for a while but there really isnt a medium to find such units or advertise it.
Shank: that is actually a good question, i have never thought about it from a tax perspective.
Shank: Yes, the taxation does get complicated.
Ray: If you wanted to advertise a rent-to-own property, I'd just advertise it in normal rental channels, and ad as part of the rental description that you're open to offering a rent-to-own. In terms of finding such units, that'd be more of a challenge (my understanding is they're fairly rare). It'd be a rare landlord / property seller who would be open to a lease-option if they didn't offer the option from the start.
There are lots of different benefits and drawbacks to both parties. I'm not writing the article however.
You are taxed at your regular tax rate and not capital gains when you are doing a Lease to Own. Unless you incorporate.
qmanrei: Thanks for a link to a real, Canadian rent-to-own real estate company.
Great example of Rent-to-Own. The biggest thing in the rent-to-own business is managing expectations. If you can manage your tenants and investors expectations you will find that win-win scenario everybody is looking for.

Here's a new hard disc player from Sony due out in November. It's the NW-A3000 range. I like these because design wise, they're the first players I've seen that are different to the ipod - They're cool looking and don't attack you when threatened. All of the other MP3 players I've seen from iRiver,Creative or MRobe (I mean what the hell is an MRobe?) look blocky and awkward. But these lil thingys, as with the ipod, look like they came from the future'n stuff!
They'll come in either 20 or 6 gig size hard drives, have an OLED display built flush with the outside, and will play native Windows `wma' as well as mp3 and Sony's ATRAC3plus. They'll also have an interesting shuffle feature where you can input your own parameters as to how your songs are shuffled, ie, the Time Machine shuffle picks a year at random and plays songs from that time period. I just know I'll have some whacky one where mine brings back Benjamin Franklin who gets out of the house and goes for a ride about our neighborhood on a Fire Truck...or was that an episode of Bewitched?

"Okay, my son. I know a good one.
"Once upon a time there was a young boy called Behrouz. His parents were mean, treating him more like a slave than a son.
"Behrouz's mother made beautiful clothes which his father sold at a market across the sea. But, when his father fell ill, Behrouz was forced to cross the sea himself.
"Indeed. Now the people of the city had never seen such beautiful clothes before and they began to bid for the garments. In no time at all Behrouz had sold everything, making more than enough coin to show for it.


She went to the ER for the eleventh time last week and has been there ever since.
Yesterday, she had a surgery to replace the titanium mesh that was put on way back in Dec to replace her skull. Essentially, it was failing, causing her to have a lot of nausea and more weight loss.
The mesh was always supposed to be temporary; when Alison collapsed, she was only an hour from death. They had to remove her skull to keep the pressure from killing her. The mesh was put in place so that she didn't have to have the further indignity of having to wear a helmet all the time.
But she didn't look like her. It looked as if someone had taken a swing at her with a baseball bat. In time, we all got used to it but I did think that, if nothing else, after this surgery, it would be nice to see more of the old her.
Couldn't handle the thought of her going through yet another surgery so I walked outta the hospital and ended up at the Met.
The last time I was there, was single, childless, and not sleeping. Now, I'm married, with a kid, and not sleeping.
And the last museum I went to was with Alison.
Sighed, shelled out a few bucks for a ticket, and kinda just walked around in a daze.
Ended up at the Arms and Armor section. Never told you exactly what type of fencing I do, did I?
It's Filipino fencing with a dash of Spanish rapier and dagger. Thought about our last trip to Spain. We always said that we'd take a trip to Toledo in Spain, the home of Spain's greatest swordsmiths.
As you see, everything reminded me of her so I left and walked back. Didn't get a call about the operation so I assumed that no news was good news.
When I got back, they told me that the operation was a success although that old blood issue has cropped up again with another new issue.
They're going to keep her for a while to make sure that everything is ok. Of course, this means that I can't do any of the experimental cancer treatments we've been doing.
So we wait. Like always.
And I dream of a holiday in Spain with her and my son.
My god. Thinking of you guys!
Thanks, Jess! This brain cancer is the stuff of nightmares.

Chonky Boys: The Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches that Scream Summer!
Featuring my thick and nuggy Chonky Boy Chocolate Chip Cookies, these ice cream sandwiches are the stuff that summer dreams are made of. If you've ever had the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Disneyland , you are going to LOVE these! These big and bold chocolate chip cookies are based on a recipe from my culinary school studies at Auguste Escoffier, but with a few modifications to give them that Jennuine touch. They make the perfectas book for a fat slice of real vanilla bean ice cream. And those mini chips? You just gotta have that extra cronch! Thank goodness this recipe only makes 8 sandwiches, otherwise I would be eating them for breakfast lunch and dinner. This way, my big family can help save me from my inner child diet-saboteur.

Recipe: New World German Brown Bread -- "Squaw Bread"
I recall, as a child, going to The Chart House restaurant and looking forward to the basket of freshly baked breads. My favorite was always the dark brown, slightly sweet bread that the servers called "Squaw Bread". I've heard that a similar bread is served at The Cheesecake Factory. The name has gone out of fashion, since "squaw" is a derogatory term for a Native American woman. The history of this bread can in fact trace its roots to Native American origins when German pioneers combined their traditional German Brown Bread recipe with ingredients available to them through trades with the native people during their westward travels. No matter how you slice it, this New World German Brown Bread is easy to bake and so wonderfully delicious to eat.

Calling all Creatives: Win an Elmer's Looks for Less Prize Pack
Did you know that Elmer's glue was invented in 1942 by a Georgia Tech chemistry graduate? The company was sold to Borden in the mid-1950s, which is why the Elmer's mascot, Elmer the bull, looks so much like his "sister" Elsie who graces the Borden label. I can't speak for those who grew up in the 1940s, but as a child of the 70's I can definitely say that my earliest memories of childhood creativity were with Elmer's glue and school paste -- inevitably there was always a kid in every class who thought that eating the paste was a novel idea. I'm glad to say that that child was never me. But I digress... Flash forward almost forty years, and you'll find me today still using the same reliable Elmer's products (and some new ones too). I recently had the opportunity to participate in the Elmer's Looks for Less Challenge where bloggers were asked to recreate popular home design looks with Elmer's & X-acto prod
Recipe: Monterey Fishermans Wharf Clam Chowder
Inspired by the rich and legendary clam chowders of Old Fishermans Wharf in Monterey, California, this clam chowder is a culinary tour of our historic seaside town -- It's the salt air on your skin, the sound of the sea lions and gulls, the slow fog drifting across the bay, and the flavors of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row. I grew up on the Monterey Peninsula. What I looked forward to the most, when visiting the Wharf was getting a sample of clam chowder, getting a box of freshly made caramel corn from Carousel Candies, and then feeding the sea lions -- in that order. I was delighted to pass on the tradition of Monterey-style clam chowder to my students this past year, with this perfected version of a local recipe that was handed down to me and adapted for small-batch home cooking. It was such a hit with my students that it was requested, made and served all football season long at our school's concession stand. Now, I'm happy to share the recipe with everyone.

text: Q: pdflatex does not overwrite existing PDF files upon compilation when using TikZ external I have a LaTeX/pgf/TikZ file that I'm trying to compile. I included the library external so that I could export the file. However, the problem is that \tikzexternalize apparently doesn't have a command to overwrite existing files from previous compilations. So, my compiled things only get saved if I delete the originals first. That's really tedious, and not normal TeX behavior anyway. How do I get it to overwrite them automatically?

October 18, 2017 - Democrat Holds 14-Point Likely Voter Lead In Virginia, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Independent Voters Disapprove Of Trump 2-1
Additional Trend Information
Sample and Methodology detail
With strong support from women and non-white voters and a double-digit lead among independent voters, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam holds a 53 - 39 percent likely voter lead over Republican Ed Gillespie in the Virginia governor's race, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Libertarian Party candidate Cliff Hyra has 2 percent.
Today's result compares to a 51 - 41 percent likely voter lead for Northam in a September 19 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.
From October 12 - 17, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,088 Virginia likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.7 percentage points, including the design effect. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.
Women likely voters back Northam 61 - 31 percent, with 2 percent for Hyra. Men are divided as 47 percent back Gillespie and 44 percent back Northam, with 2 percent for Hyra.
Independent voters back the Democrat 53 - 39 percent, with 3 percent for Hyra. Democrats back Northam 93 - 2 percent, with 2 percent for Hyra. Republicans back Gillespie 92 - 5 percent, with 1 percent for Hyra.
White likely voters are divided with 48 percent for Gillespie, 47 percent for Northam and 2 percent for Hyra. Non-white voters go to Northam 71 - 15 percent, with 3 percent for Hyra.
The economy is the most important issue in deciding how they will vote for governor, 25 percent of Virginia voters say, while 23 percent say health care and 11 percent cite education.
"One number says it all. Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam's 14-point lead among independent voters is all you need to know about the race to be Virginia's next governor," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
"The two major-party candidates do about the same among their respective party bases, but a candidate who carries independent voters by double-digits is almost always a winner.
Virginia likely voters give Northam a 51 - 30 percent favorability rating.
Gillespie gets a negative 39 - 45 percent favorability rating.
For Hyra, 85 percent haven't heard enough to form an opinion. President Trump's Approval
Virginia likely voters disapprove 62 - 35 percent of the job President Donald Trump is doing. Republicans approve 81 - 15 percent and white voters with no college degree approve 55 - 41 percent. White men are divided 49 - 49 percent. Every other party, gender, education and racial group disapproves.
If a candidate for governor supports President Trump, 51 percent of Virginia likely voters say they are less likely to vote for that candidate, as 18 percent say more likely and 30 percent say Trump support makes no difference in their vote.
Virginia likely voters disagree 61 - 23 percent with Trump's tweet that Northam is fighting for MS-13 gangs and for sanctuary cities.
"The drag from President Donald Trump's unpopularity on Republican Gillespie is gigantic. President Trump has a 35 percent approval rating in the Old Dominion - a very low number by historical standards," Brown added.
Likely voters approve 56 - 36 percent of the job Gov. Terry McAuliffe is doing.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys nationwide, and statewide polls in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa and Colorado as a public service and for research.

One of the big problem that a homeowner face when planning for a home improvement project aside from budget, design and material selection is finding the right people to do the job. We know how it feels when you spend your hard earned money only to be wasted by poor workmanship.
A good, reliable yet affordable home improvement team is not easy to find. People can either go to the cheaper traditional neighborhood carpenter and not expect much, or go to professional contractors and spend a fortune.
Being aware of this problem and after being through the same experience before, we've decided to form a team that will fill the gap between quality and cost. Our goal is to help homeowners realize their dream of having a high quality, decent, modern kitchen and interiors without spending a fortune. BULACAN LIVING's commitment is to give our clients the benefit of both.
We truly believe that modernizing your home need not be expensive when you get the right advice from the right people. Let us guide you in making your dream home a reality.


Woodberry, Hampden, and Stone Hill are all neighborhoods that grew up in service of the grain and textile mills along the Jones Falls.
According to a neat timeline compiled by the folks over at Rotating History, the Jones Falls were first settled by David Jones in 1661. At that time, the river was "deep enough to drown a man", which I take to be 6 or 7 feet. Since it is now dammed at Lake Roland, the downstream part of the falls is little more than a foot deep in most places, and about thirty feet across. Around the time of the Revolution, grain mills sprung up on the banks, taking advantage of the water power. In time, these turned to textile mills, and the neighborhood was an economic driver of early Baltimore from about 1800 until the end of WWI. The Second World War renewed the cotton industry for a time, but that faded quickly post-war and the mills were largely abandoned. They then followed the familiar cycle of urban renewal -- colonized by artists and craftsmen, then developers. Some burned or fell down before that could happen.
The eponymous falls, as they exist today, concreted into a semi-circular drop beyond the aqueduct.
Walking down the Jones Falls bike trail, I felt like I had slipped into a post-apocalyptic future or a pre-industrial past. Traffic was infrequent, in mid-day, the hum of engines replaced with cicada buzz and faintly rushing water. Bikers shot by, nearly silently, picking up speed on the long downhill. Trains passed, somewhere in a thicket of trees and kudzu, the tracks giving off an eerie, dog-whistle signature. I recorded it on my phone, and humbly suggest you listen back to it as you read, for a heightened multi-sensory experience. The recording is unedited, save a little background noise removal.
I veered off of the paved trail in search of the river several times. The first turn led down some crumbled concrete stairs, guarded with a kind of woodpunk handrail made of gnarled tree branches and welded bits of scrap. Halfway down, I saw a platform through the trees, overlooking the falls. However, someone was sleeping down there, so I respected his space and turned back. A few hundred yards south I discovered another hobo encampment, little more than a bed of newspapers behind a fallen log. Completely hidden from the road, it was only betrayed by a faint dirt path leading up. The newspapers were fresh and dry, evidence of recent use.
Nice bracket detail; able to accommodate anything round-ish.
From the road, said hobo was safe from view, though the dirt path was pretty obvious. Use a different route every time . . .
My next attempt down to the water was successful. The Jones Falls once accepted a lot of sewage, and still does whenever there is torrential rain. Various storm drains empty right into the water, dank toothless mouths back into the darkness. The bank represented an urban strata: asphalt, brick, and concrete, mixed up with quartz, granite, sandstone, and some remarkable hunks of flaky mica. Up against the retaining wall was hobo camp number two, consisting of a low stone wall, two fire pits, and a pile of neatly split wood. It looked as though it may have been a drinking spot for high schoolers, but the lack of fresh trash and beer bottles suggested it may have been a more serious camp. The rocks would be rough for sleeping, but it was protected from the road, with an easy escape route and a nice straight wall to ease your back against.
I mean, that shot is straight out of National friggin' Geographic!
Geological sample of the beach. Not including trash, quite a diverse array.
Hobo camp #2: kids or campers?
Soon after, I passed the monumental roundhouse that serves some of Baltimore's snow plows. The garages were open in the heat, revealing calcified drifts of salt, tinged blue at the bottom like some sort of marooned glaciers. Just to the south was an abandoned truss railroad bridge, overgrown completely. I could hear a train at this point, but could not see it, nor any other person; for a few minutes it was a waking dream, my senses delivering conflicting information.
Apologies for the crummy picture, the sun was coming straight into the camera.
Past the dead bridge is the Baltimore Streetcar Museum, a heap of rusting anachronisms. It brought the post-apocalyptic vibe into sharper focus, walking through a graveyard of once-monumental technology, trains that once ferried my grandfather to work, now decaying back into the river that first birthed this city.
Graffiti on the museum's unused warehouse.
Surprised no enterprising scrapper has taken a torch to these things yet.
The cockpit of a dead streetcar, handrail and all.
Beyond that, I wound down, walking under one last bridge, spying one last encampment, making off with one more dumpster find. I won't post a picture of that last hobo site, because someone was in it, and I respect their privacy. This particular transect, short as it was, gave me some particularly powerful cues about this town. It rose from industry, it has largely failed because of industry, and it faces a future that may look something like Detropia -- inhabited by artists and scavengers and hobos and farmers and dreamers and gleaners and guerillas of all kinds, scrabbling forwards.
Strapped to the back for the walk home.

Fritz Winfred Alexander, II: First Black Court of Appeals Judge Appointed to a 14-Year Term
Posted on February 13, 2019 September 13, 2019 Author Historical Society of the New York CourtsCategories Uncategorized, Black History Month, Court of Appeals Judges, New York Legal History, New York State Judges
Fritz Winfred Alexander, II
This article was written by Angela Burton, and is an excerpt of her biography of Judge Alexander, which was originally published in The Judges of the New York Court of Appeals, edited by Albert M. Rosenblatt and published by Fordham University Press in 2007. You can read the full biography here.
Born Carl Bernard Zanders, Jr., in Apopka, Florida, on April 24, 1926, Fritz Winfred Alexander, II was later given the name of his mother's brother, a Gary, Indiana, lawyer with whom he went to live after his mother became ill.[1] Upon surveying the Judge's long and illustrious legal career, it becomes apparent that the elder Alexander gifted to his young nephew not only his euphonious name, but also imparted a drive for excellence, an inclination toward public service and social justice, and a passion for the rule of law.
Judge Alexander's appointment to the Court of Appeals on January 2, 1985 by Governor Mario Cuomo marked a significant milestone in the Court's history: he was the first Black American to be appointed to a full fourteen-year term on the Court.[2] Upon his nomination, the fourteen-member Committee on Judicial Selection of the New York State Bar Association judged him to possess "pre-eminent qualifications" and concluded that he was "well-qualified" for the position of Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals. Although the Judge was keenly aware of historical and social import of his appointment, he was adamant that his paramount allegiance on the Court was to the people of New York and to the rule of law. At his confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee (which voted his nomination unanimously), he acknowledged the "symbolic significance" of his status as the first Black American to be elevated to a full term on the Court of Appeals,[3] and upon taking the bench insisted that he was appointed not because of his race, but because he was "a good judicial choice," and that his paramount role was "to serve the people of this state as a judge of this court."[4] On the occasion of his leaving the Court after only seven years into his term, and four years shy of the mandatory retirement age of 70, he remarked that he most wanted to be known "as a jurist who sought to discharge his responsibilities to the very best of his ability, to serve justice and the rule of law, and about whom it can be said 'job well done."[5]
While Alexander sought to downplay his race, even as a judge he was not immunized from racial prejudice and discrimination. In her memorial remarks after his death in 2000, Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye remembered that the Judge shared personal accounts of his experiences of invidious discrimination "not with bitterness but with clear resolve to effect change."[6] It is not surprising, then, that when confronted by racism from the infamous Ku Klux Klan, Judge Alexander took the incident in stride. Sometime between Friday night, January 16, 1981 and the following Saturday morning, the suite of judges' chambers on the 17th floor of the Criminal Courts Building at 100 Centre Street in Manhattan was burglarized." According to the New York Times report, six chambers were invaded, nine typewriters stolen, and "the chambers of a black State Supreme Court justice ransacked and the letters 'KKK' scrawled on the walls . . . Only the chambers of Justice Fritz W. Alexander, who is black, were defaced."[7] Characteristically, Judge Alexander didn't want the incident "blown out of proportion."[8]
By 1992, Alexander had established a reputation for his deliberative approach to jurisprudence, his strong commitment to individual rights, and for the "three-alarm" chili which he occasionally cooked up for other judges.[9] That year, just four years shy of the Court of Appeal's mandatory retirement age, and seemingly at the pinnacle of his career, Alexander stunned many of his colleagues and friends when he voluntarily left the Court to join the administration of his New York University School of Law classmate and former law partner, David Norman Dinkins, the first African-American mayor of the City of New York.[10] In a move that "took the legal community by surprise,"[11] Alexander left behind what he described as "the relative tranquility of the Court"[12] for New York City's chaotic criminal justice system to take on what one reporter described as "a relentlessly fractious criminal-justice system as a bureaucratic traffic cop, mayoral troubleshooter, and (on occasion) interagency mud-wrestling referee."[13] According to New York Newsday, Alexander's toughest task in his new job would be "forcing a bloated NYPD to shoo more cops out from behind desks and onto the streets."[14] Not surprisingly, "many were critical of his choice. They saw it as folly, a step in the wrong direction."[15] Even Dinkins himself said that he was surprised when Alexander accepted the thankless job of overseeing the city's Police, Fire, Correction and Probation departments.[16]
While his decision to leave one of the nation's most prestigious legal positions at the height of his career confounded many of his colleagues, the move was consistent with his well-established commitment to family and friendship, and his penchant for confronting important challenges. A year into the job, Alexander expressed no regrets about his decision, and explained that it was "home and friendship" and the challenge of the job, that led him to step down from the bench,[17] as well as a longing for something different after twenty-two years as a judge.[18] The opportunity to assist his longtime friend David Dinkins, to help his beloved New York City through its fiscal and civil woes, along with the chance to be closer to home and to his wife, Beverly, apparently was an irresistible combination.

'Senate Confirms Judge Alexander,' NY Times, Jan. 30, 1985. While he expressed hope that he could serve as an inspiration, especially to "the minority youth who so desperately need to be made to feel that there is a real future for them" 'Alexander Confirmed,' supra note 2, he nevertheless emphasized his belief that he had not been nominated "because [he] was black but rather because [he] was a good judicial choice."

So, following the success of The compass points North, Dan and I have begun work on a further collaboration. Fingers crossed it won't take too long to put together. I'm working on editing a few Petals things up for release throughout the summer along with a new Swefn release and a new Maurice's Hotel Death in the pipeline too. Boom!
Aside from such revelries, I'll also be heading back over to sunny Nottingham August 3rd 2013 to play with Cremation Lily, Content Nullity, knifedoutofexistence and W>a>s>p>s before returning to the celestial land of Shipley to play with Drunk in Hell in September. Moreover, I'm buggering of to France for a week to go and lie down, eat some baguette blanc and get funky and fresh on a bicycle between chain-drinking small bottles of beer and large glasses of wine.

Discover LSFM
General InfoGroup VisitsMembershipEvents
The Lone Star Flight Museum is a 501(c)(3) aviation museum and STEM learning center with a mission to preserve, educate and inspire. Led by CEO, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Douglas H. Owens, LSFM's new $38 million state of the art facility at Houston's Ellington Airport opened September 16, 2017. In addition to the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame, the 130,000 square foot facility houses the Museum's renowned flying collection of historic aircraft, a $1 million, high-tech Aviation Learning Center and dynamic hands-on exhibits.
Aviation inspires achievement and endless possibilities!
Celebrate flight and achievement in Texas aviation; and, Educate and engage our youth through Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)
To be a dynamic and interactive educational flight museum reaching the youth of Texas as a recognized experience of choice
The Lone Star Flight Museum began as a private aircraft collection in June 1985. The acquisition of more aircraft quickly led to a search for a new home. In 1990, construction of a 50,000 square foot facility began in Galveston Island at Scholes Field. Continued rapid growth required construction of an additional 30,000 square foot hangar in 1991. Along with the aircraft collection, the LSFM began to acquire and display aviation memorabilia and artifacts, develop educational programs, and recruit volunteers through our Membership Program implemented in July 1991. The LSFM receives over 35,000 of volunteer service hours each year. Many programs and participation opportunities are available for members to promote and support the LSFM mission.
The 74th Texas Legislature through a concurrent resolution signed by then Gov. George W. Bush, established the LSFM as the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. The LSFM quickly organized a capital campaign and the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame Education Center was completed in November of 1999. Housed in the new the displays presenting each inductee's and contributions to aviation. Other rotating and permanent educational exhibits designed to increase knowledge, interest and the impact of aviation today's world are found throughout the Education Center.
The Fondren Center for Aviation Studies and Jesse H. Jones Research Center Library opened in 1998. The center contains the LSFM's extensive collection of books, manuscripts, oral histories and original papers of aviators and aviation history. The Library is open to researchers worldwide.
The LSFM continues to bolster its national and international reputation as one of the top flying museums in the United States. Today the Museum displays over 40 significant aircraft and over 1500 artifacts that demonstrate the quantum leap in technology – from gliders to space – over the past century.
The Museum's flying collection of award winning aircraft annually logs more than 40,000 cross-country air miles to participate in flying displays and air shows. The Museum's P-47 Thunderbolt participates in the United States Air Force "Heritage Flight" program. Comprised of Air Force demonstration pilots and select vintage aircraft, the "Heritage Flight" unites the classic war birds of yesterday with current inventory jet fighters at aviation events across the country. This unique production takes the living history lesson to the public in the air and is seen by over 1.5 million people each year.
