Stuff for the Teen Age
Are You Ready for Hilarious Chaos? Then You're Ready for "Axe Cop"!
Axe Cop is a policeman who uses his axe to chop off the heads of bad guys. He meets many unusual characters along the way.
There’s Dinosaur Soldier, who was part man and part dinosaur… until he ate an avocado, at which point he transformed into Avocado Soldier.
There’s Uni-Baby, who was part baby and part unicorn… or at least... she WAS until an explosion broke off her horn, and the avocado soldier decided to use it to grant wishes.
Then there’s Ralph Wrinkles, who was an ordinary dog until the Uni-Avocado Soldier wished that he could talk, and then he became a TALKING dog.
Okay, if you think that this sounds like the kind of a story could only come from the mind of a five year old… you would be correct! Axe Cop was written by five-year-old Malachai Nicolle and adapted and illustrated by his 29-year-old brother Ethan Nicolle. Together, they created a web comic, and that web comic was published into this graphic novel, which contains some of the funniest, craziest, strangest, and weirdest stories you’ve ever read!
Be sure to check out Axe Cop Vol. 1 by Malachai Nicolle and Ethan Nicolle, and then get ready for some VERY memorable stories!

For centuries Scots have traversed the globe, settling new lands and laying down roots far from Scotland. The result can seen on almost every continent, in the city and town names that bear the names of Scottish destinations.
There are numerous Edinburghs, Glasgows, Aberdeens and Dundees around the world, but how many places are named after the country itself? Here, we explore some of the planet’s far-flung Scotlands.

With no Premier League or Championship action over the weekend, football fans were encouraged to go and support their nearest non-league side in the name of ‘Non League Day’. Well, those local to Walton certainly weren’t disappointed with their offering.
Walton Casuals were hosting Guernsey FC when Josh Steel, a midfielder for the visitors, unleashed an absolute belter of a volley after a cross from the left flank. Goal of the weekend? It has to be up there.

1. Twin Dark Mirrors
2. Elvin's Sight
6. Window of Time
7. Eternal Return
CD Quality - 16 bit / 44.1 khz
The Texas-born, New York-based tenor saxophonist Stan Killian is the latest in a long line of saxophonists blessed with the legendary “Texas Tenor” sound – from Arnett Cobb and James Clay to Wilton Felder and Illinois Jacquet; all master hornsmen who played with a big-toned, bravura sound of wide open spaces that covers the blues, the bayou, bop, the past, and the present.
A seasoned professional, Killian has gigged with many of today’s brightest stars including Luis Perdomo, Antonio Sanchez, Gene Jackson, Eric Revis, Mike Moreno, Ben Monder, and Scott Colley. Killian steps into the spotlight as a leader on this aurally auspicious Sunnyside debut, Unified.
“While writing the music for this album, I focused on two ideas,” Killian says. “First, instead of being concerned with composing intellectually difficult music for my band for the sake of being hip, I sought simply to write the most beautiful melodies I could imagine. Secondly, I wanted to unite my seemingly disparate influences into a program of what my idea of modern jazz is: the feel of deep swing with combined melodic voices, informed by the various jazz languages.”
Killian’s fluid yet muscular tenor tone is supported by two impressive combos consisting of bassists Bryan Copeland and Corcoran Holt, pianist Benito Gonzalez, drummers Darrell Green and McClenty Hunter. Also making appearances on the disc are some special guests: trumpeters Roy Hargrove and Jeremy Pelt and alto saxophonist David Binney. “I chose these particular guest artists … not simply because they are three of the most famous modern jazz players/composers on the scene today, but because they personally represent an individual vibe which, regardless of where critics put them on the proverbial jazz spectrum, is at once modern and traditional,” Killian says. “From this idea, comes the title track, ‘Unified.’”
The six other tracks – all composed by the leader, except for the spirited, Latin-tinged number “Elvin’s Sight,” written by the Venezuelan pianist Gonzalez in honor of the great drummer Elvin Jones – bop and weave with a modern, neo-classic vibe. “Twin Dark Mirrors” is Killian’s 4/4, dark and princely shout out to Miles Davis and his collaborations with Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and Wayne Shorter. “Center” is an upbeat, unconventionally structured number in a 5/4 time signature, contrasted by the swing-at-the-speed-of-sound, angular modal track “Isosceles” and the waltzy “Window of Time.” The driving, Blue Note era-like closing tune, “Eternal Return,” remarkably, is Killian’s first composition.
It’s been said that they do everything big in Texas and the evolution of Stan Killian’s career confirms that old saying. Born in 1978, Killian’s professional career started when he was sixteen, gigging with his father Joe Killian in the San Antonio area. His father worked in the bands of Texas tenor greats Don Wilkerson, Clifford Scott and Jimmy Ford. Stan Killian, inspired by the tenor sounds of Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, and Johnny Griffin, graduated from high school in 1997 and then attended Texas State University in San Marcos, where he studied saxophone and improvisation with teachers John Mills and James Polk (former arranger and composer for the Ray Charles Orchestra).
Killian later free-lanced in the Austin music scene, performed as a side-musician with various local bands, and after his twenty first birthday, Killian recorded his first CD, Straight Ahead which featured Austin trumpet legend Martin Banks. Killian then moved to Houston to lead his own group and work with guitarist Clayton Dyess, who had performed with Nat Adderley, Dizzy Gillespie, Arnett Cobb, and Joe Pass. In 2002, Killian recorded his sophomore CD, Deep Down, which featured Dyess, Joe Killian, and Houston drum legend G.T Hogan. Stan’s playing during this period, especially his consistent emphasis on tone, reflects his early influences, the full-bodied tenor sounds of Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster. It was also in Houston where he became a founding member of the jazz-Brazilian group, Com Voce.

The Downstream Defender® by Hydro International is a hydrodynamic vortex separator designed to provide greater pollutant removal of sediment, floatables, and associated pollutants from stormwater runoff, while preventing washout of trapped pollutants even under extreme surcharge conditions. Stormwater is introduced tangentially into the side of the vessel, initially spiraling around the perimeter. Oil and floatables rise to the water surface and are trapped in the outer annular space. As the flow continues to rotate about the vertical axis, and travel downwards, low energy vortex motion directs sediment toward the center into an isolated storage zone at the base of the vessel. Internal components at the base protect stored sediments and direct the flow up through the inner annular space.

Point level switch
Ametek Drexelbrook has added the TF-100 Series Vibration Technology Point Level Switch to its line of level measurement products. The TF-100 Series tuning fork provides a no-calibration solution to point level measurement of clean liquids and is available with relay, current, or PNP outputs. The compact 316L stainless steel sensor is offered in both standard and sanitary versions. Typical applications include high- and low-level indication, overfill prevention, and pump “run dry” protection. The unit is inserted into a vessel so that the sensing element is positioned at the desired high- or low-level indication point. When the material level reaches a predetermined point on the sensing element, it causes a change in status in the electronic unit, resulting in an alarm output that can be used to operate alarms, annunciators, valves, or other controls or indicators.

MIOX is a viable method for controlling biofilm. Mixed oxidants generated on-site through the use of salt, water, and an electrolytic cell clearly exhibit the ability to remove biofilm and prevent regrowth, unlike traditional chlorination technologies. Inono Hot Springs in Akita, Japan, experienced extensive biofilm growth in their pipelines and positive coliform and Legionella hits while using sodium hypochlorite for disinfection. Conversion to mixed oxidants not only eliminated the biofilm, but also reduced the required chlorine dosage by 60% to only 0.6 mg/l.

Is it just us, or do we seem to find out about a different Glee star getting engaged just about every 30 minutes or so? Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration (it’s more like every 45 minutes), but there’s no denying that a lot of Glee stars are about to get hitched. So which wedding are you most psyched about?
We’ll start with the engagement that was officially confirmed just this week: Blake Jenner (Ryder) and Melissa Benoist (Marley). They seem ideal for one another, as you can see by how ridiculously silly (in a good way) they both are in videos for the upcoming film they’re co-starring in, Billy Boy. Let’s just hope it’s better than other movies with real-life couples, like Gigli.
Another couple that both thrilled and startled us with their engagement is Naya Rivera (Santana) and rapper beau Big Sean. The two got engaged only six months after meeting through Twitter, but they seem to be truly in love. Plus, they’ve already started recording songs together, and if that’s not love, we don’t know what is.
But that’s not all. Matthew Morrison (Schue) is engaged to singer-model Renee Puente, his girlfriend of two years, and they’re planning to marry in 2015. Dot-Marie Jones (Beiste) is engaged to Bridgett Casteen, her girlfriend of two years, with Dot-Marie having proposed at Disneyland. And Max Adler (Karofsky) is engaged to longtime girlfriend Jennifer Bronstein. Whew.
While we’re thrilled for all of these couples, we’re wondering whose wedding you’re most excited for. If we had to choose, we’d say that Blake and Melissa top our list, since they’re so cute onscreen and off. But Naya’s is up there for us, too. Okay, your turn to choose!


As young people head back to school this fall, a few changes have been made relating to traffic that will make their journey a little safer.
You'll notice that a second adult crossing guard has been added mornings and afternoons at Bank Street & Sunnyside Avenue. A request placed by the Councillor’s Office was reviewed last spring and City staff responsible for School Zone Traffic agreed that the intersection warranted a second crossing guard. Ian and Andrew have been hired to fill these positions. Please take extra care at this very busy intersection.
Important to note is that drivers, including cyclists, must stop and yield the whole roadway at pedestrian crossovers, school crossings, and other locations where there is a crossing guard present. Only when pedestrians and school crossing guards have crossed and are safely on the sidewalk can drivers and cyclists proceed.
Plus, as of September 1, 2018, penalties for drivers who endanger pedestrians have increased. This includes higher fines and more demerit points for drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians at crossovers, school crossings, and crosswalks with a school crossing guard present. For further details, see the information provided by the Ontario Ministry of Transport at www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/pedestrian-safety.shtml.

System Integration & Technology Distribution (S&T) has announced in a press release that it has completed the implementation of a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex (DWDM) network for Ukrainian GSM mobile operator Kyivstar. The ‘multi-million dollar’ contract was awarded in August 2006 and included the planning and installation of a nationwide backbone network with 120 nodes – the largest of its type in Ukraine. The new backbone multiplies Kyivstar’s capacity by a factor of eight, up to 320Gbps, meaning that more than four million subscribers can be served simultaneously per network segment. The system is designed to be flexible to cope with increases in traffic and expansion of non-voice services.
Kyivstar, which had 23.3 million mobile subscribers at the end of June 2008, owns a GSM network covering 99% of the population. Rapidly increasing demands on its infrastructure prompted the operator to place the national DWDM order, after seeing subscriber numbers jump by 6.7 million in the twelve months to mid-2006 alone, rising average duration of calls and users demanding improved service quality and more advanced mobile internet/data services. A Kyivstar spokesperson said of the completed project that ‘it has secured for a long time the capacity required for further dynamic growth.’

Whitehorse Community choir is persevering, despite making changes due to pandemic restrictions
It’s been a complicated year for Whitehorse Community Choir. Around a year ago, they went from regularly scheduled full rehearsals to absolutely nothing, and had no idea when or how they’d be able to return. Neither the 2020 spring or winter shows happened.
“You don’t know what’s going happen,” said Barbara Chamberlain, the choir’s conductor and artistic director. “Then you start to plan for the fall, but there are a lot of unknowns.”
As it became clearer that this pandemic wasn’t going away anytime soon, the members of the choir decided to adapt, and find creative new ways to rehearse and perform. Chamberlain said it was tough to have to scrap last year’s shows they had already put so much work into, and feeling optimistic about the future was another challenge. Though adapting a performance by a large vocal ensemble like Whitehorse Community Choir to an online format is much different than with a solo artist or small band, Chamberlain and the singers were determined to find a way to present their music virtually.
In September, the singers started practicing from a distance, employing some interesting methods to do so. They held practices over Zoom, with each singer at home. The altos and tenors practiced separately from the sopranos and basses because of the size of the group. The singers also used sheet music and YouTube videos to learn their own parts, and recorded themselves singing with cellphones and other devices. The singers then sent Chamberlain their recordings, and Chamberlain put them together into full-choir recordings.
“Every one of those 42 tracks takes at least an hour to edit so we’re all saying the same thing at the same time,” said Chamberlain. “It was a little overwhelming.”
In addition to being an awful lot of work, Chamberlain said the singers felt they were missing out on the social community aspect that is such a huge part of the choir.
“There’s a big social aspect to the choir,” she said with a laugh. “Really, I have to get them to shut up a lot.”
Another way the choir managed to create some recorded content was by showing up at the arts centre in smaller groups and singing six feet apart while wearing masks. Being recorded and filmed. When the four groups were finished, Chamberlain edited and mixed the audio, and the choir’s videographer, Jessica Hall, put the visual content together. This method worked better, but because there weren’t enough headphones to go around, they had to use monitors, the sound from which was picked up in the background of the recordings and had to be edited out.
Now, the choir is finally able to start putting on live shows again. On April 30 and May 1, they will be presenting Look on the Bright Side!, a set of shows at the Yukon Arts Centre which will also be streamed online. For these shows, the choir will be accompanied by pianist Barry Kitchen. Both shows start at 8 p.m., and tickets can be purchased for $20 at yukontickets.com. Those who choose to watch the livestream can pay whatever they decide.
Chamberlain said all the singers are extremely excited to finally be able to perform live again, and get the release that singing and performing give them.
“The thing about singing is that it releases endorphins and makes everyone happy,” she said. “Unless they’re on the wrong note, maybe.”

While comment is free……Guardian leader:
So others call for a change in the law. Straight legalisation of sex work is ruled out….
The problem with this being that sex work isn\’t illegal in the first place. Anyone and everyone has the perfect liberty to whore out their gonads (or any other part of their anatomy).
What are illegal are the acts of soliciting (approaching potential customers), working in association (working in a brothel) or employing an agent (a madam or pimp).
As one of the commenters there puts it, this sort of prostitution in Bradford, the junkies offering it up for the price of a couple of wraps, would probably be best dealt with by the free issue of heroin….or decriminalisation, legalisation, or heroin, take your pick.
Oh, and just to get one in before someone else mentions it. Making it illegal for men to buy sex (the \”Swedish option\”) isn\’t going to help. The accusation is currently three murders…those willing to murder are unlikely to be worried about the sex part being illegal, are they?

I eventually got up, did morning stuff, and got dressed. I caught a vision of the bed in the corner of my eye. It looked like a lover recentely returned from a long absence. It was calling to me, trying to seduce me to fall into her arms. The pillows looked heavenly, like clouds. The mattress held its arms out to me, saying, "Phil, come lie down in my arms and carress me..."
I am at work now. And I really miss my lover, my companion, my soulmate... the bed.

HotPaw Musical Piano Roll Spectrograph - Your Music Transcription Assistant
Visualize music and sound as it might appear in a piano-roll MIDI music editor. See the musical pitch of music, singing, and speech. Musical notes (plus all their overtones) can be graphed from songs in your music collection, or in real-time to assist in your understanding of live music. The HotPaw Musical Piano Roll Spectrograph can create a real-time scrolling 12th-octave pitch-centered spectrogram, either from microphone input, or from your iTunes music collection. You can stop audio recording, and scroll back to review the past 4 minutes of spectrogram history. You can even hear the major ssound frequencies in your music, not in slow motion, but actually stopped in time.
You can stop recording and scroll back to review the MIDI sound history. The ReSynth button will replay the MIDI tones contained at the current audio cursor location, stripped of percussion, consonants and most other attack transients, so you can just hear the pure musical pitch, chords and/or harmony at that point in time (with most of the stronger overtones included). Scroll back-and-forth to hear the MIDI tones at other points-in-time. Scroll forward slowly to hear a strange robotic vocoder-like resynthesis of the sound or music. Touch the on-screen keyboard in ReSynth mode to hear just the nearest frequency note in the music.
Tap the gear/configuration icon to bring up several controls. The settings include 3 coloring modes: Black and White, Standard amplitude/Volume coloring, and the HotPaw magic inTuna pitch coloring mode (also used in the Sing-inTuna iOS app) that allows you to see if you are singing or playing in tune (green for close to in tune, blue for sharp, red for flat). There are also 3 filtering modes: full spectrum, only peak frequencies, and mostly lower frequencies. You can also adjust volume sensitivity and spectrograph contrast. Up to 7 octaves of frequency range (from 2 octaves below middle-C up to 5 octaves above) are viewable, or optionally zoom into 4.5 octaves (by turning the iPad, or in the configuration display on the iPhone).

Vegan Thai Noodles is a simple and quick meal. This is not traditional Pad Thai, but something just as nice. It is not a fussy meal, but you can say it is a comfort food. It was for me.
From start to finish,Vegan Thai Noodles can be from ready in less than 30 minutes. It is perfect of busy days when you want a home-made dinner quickly. There are a lot of flexibility with this dish. And short cuts.
I use bottled minced garlic and ginger. You can chopped them yourself, but minced bottled is a good short cut and it stays fresh for a while. For the noodles I am all about keeping it simple and what is easily available at the local grocery store. I use what is in my pantry which is wheat spaghetti or linguine. Mushrooms are the “meat” of the dish. Since this is a quick cooking meal, it is key to chop the veg very small and not dense. Peppers and snap peas work well in this dish. Shredded carrots, broccoli, peas, and shredded Napa cabbage could be also be used.
Feel free to play around with this recipe. Vegan Thai Noodles can be your recipe and I would like to hear about the additions you have made to it.

Spaghetti Aglio e olio, or spaghetti with garlic and olive oil, is a simple, quick plant-based meal for a busy weekday. From start to finish 20 minutes with five ingredients. Don’t let the simplicity and speed fool you. It is a treat for not only the taste buds, but for the soul.
I learned about Spaghetti Aglio e olio from Stanley Tucci during his series, Searching for Italy, as it was his Dad’s go-to recipe for Friday nights. This dish is known as “culinary rustica” which is rural home-style cooking and is from region of Abruzzo that is about 50 miles east of Rome. It is a dish of the people.
The ingredients are simple and available as most of us have them in our pantry: spaghetti, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, parsley, and salted water. That’s all. As the very salted water is boiling, peel and slice the garlic paper thin. And as the pasta is cooking, make the sauce which is olive olive, red pepper flakes, and parsley. If you generously salt the pasta water then you won’t need to add salt to the dish. Just make sure you don’t burn the garlic as it will be bitter. So keep a close on it it as garlic can turn burnt in a blink of an eye. Reserve some of the pasta water before you drain the spaghetti to thicken the sauce once you have added the pasta to the sauce. I usually just use tongs to grab the pasta and put it in the sauce swirling it around so it carries some water with it in the transfer. Grate some cheese — vegan or otherwise — and sprinkle parsley and you have a nice looking meal. Add a salad and you have a delicious dinner.
If you enjoyed this dish and are looking for another simple, quick Italian meal? Try Cacio e Pepe.
- 16 oz spaghetti
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 4-5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp dried chili flakes, or to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup grated dairy or vegan parmesan cheese, plus more to serve
- salt, to taste
- 1. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and add spaghetti cooking per package directions. Usually 10 minutes.
- 2. Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
- 3. Heat the olive oil over medium hear in pan. Add the garlic and chili flakes cooking gently for a few minutes, or until the garlic is pale gold. Watching carefully not to burn the garlic or it will be bitter.
- 4. Stir in chopped parsley.
- 5. Before draining the spaghetti, reserve 1/2 cup cooking water.
- 6. Add spaghetti to pan, stir well to coat with the oil, add some starchy cooking water to thicken the sauce a little bit.
- 7. Cook on medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring a couple of times.
- 8. Sprinkle with extra chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.
One of my favorite soups is French Onion Soup. I just can not say no when I see it on any menu. And I enjoy making it at home. But I love pasta too. So why not make Vegan French Onion Pasta?
It is comfort food. Perfect for a cold winter’s evening when the wind is whipping around the house and rain pelts the windows. The house fills with the aroma of caramelized onions and fresh thyme. So very cozy.
This isn’t one of my fastest recipes. It takes about an hour from start to finish. And it is a one pot meal. The key to Vegan French Onion Pasta is the caramelized onions. No butter is used. Olive oil on medium for about 25-30 minutes with constant stirring. It is well worth the effort as there is nothing tastier than caramelized onions with mushrooms and thyme. One of my favorite flavor combinations. Dry white wine and a dash of sherry vinegar, elevates the flavor even more.
Speaking of sherry vinegar, I’m getting quite a collection of vinegars. I find that I’m using vinegar more and more in my cooking as I continue my exportation of plant-based eating. My go-to vinegar is apple cider vinegar with balsamic a close a second. It just makes things better. The sherry vinegar finishes off the dish right at the end.
Try Vegan French Onion Pasta for your next rainy cold evening.

Looking for some plant-based comfort food for cold fall nights? Creamy Kale Butter Bean Gnocchi fits the bill. One of new favorite meals. With our schedules, a quick easy weekday meals are essential. This not only comfort food, but quick and easy.
There is something so comforting about a big bowl of something delicious as the days get shorter and colder. Creamy Kale Butter Bean Gnocchi is a one-pot meal with a handful of ingredients. Outside of the kale, it is made with pantry items. Just gnocchi, kale, broth, beans, minced garlic, milk, butter, and parmesan cheese. That’s it. And it can be make in less than 25 mins. A quick, easy home cooked meal that’s faster than delivery.
Now I’m not going to say it is healthy as it does have milk and butter… and just because it is vegan products doesn’t mean it is low fat or low calorie. But it is awfully good. Again comfort food. You can make it with dairy or plant-based products. I made it plant-based and my guys couldn’t tell the difference. It is all about the blending of the simple flavors. All I used was garlic, salt, and pepper, but yet it bursts with flavor.
If you want to have a special meal, then you can make your own gnocchi. Making your own gnocchi isn’t as hard as you think. And it is a fun family activity. The homemade gnocchi recipe makes a few servings and that freeze well; however, packaged gnocchi works well. And that’s what I’ve been using as I haven’t been motivated to make my own and I lack freezer space. I used spinach one; because that’s the only kind Aldi had when I ran it to get bread and didn’t really want to stop into another grocery store. It turned out quite nice. You could say that the meal was brought to you by the color green. Don’t be afraid to try different kinds of gnocchi as well as kale. I like lacinato kale, but use whatever you have available to you. Just chop it well so it cooks quickly.
Give Creamy Kale Butter Bean Gnocchi a try.

The Traditional Pasta Cacao e Pepe
We’ve been rewatching Somebody Feed Phil with Phil Rosenthal and recently came to his Venice episode and binge watched Stanley Tucci’s Searching for Italy. During Tucci’s Rome show, he visited Japanese chef Kotaro Noda’s Bistro 64. Chef Noda made the classic Roman dish, Cacio e Pepe.
While we were watching it in the morning, my mouth was watering and I knew what we were having for dinner. I adore pasta (and actually most carb rich foods). To me a bowl of pasta is comfort food therefore, I don’t need an excuse to make it. It took me a couple replays of the segment to get the ingredients and technique down.
A Humble Dish
This is a truly simple and humble dish with six ingredients… seven if you count the pasta water. The stars of the dish are freshly ground pepper, Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses. In 15-minutes you could have this meal.
Looking for another quick and simple meal? Try a bread salad from Tuscany, Panzanella.
- 8 oz Spaghetti
- 1-2 cups salted pasta water
- 3-4 Tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon freshly grown black pepper
- 1 cup finely grated Pecorino
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
- - Cook spaghetti according to the directions adding a generous helping of salt to the water.
- - Drain pasta reserving 1-2 cups of pasta water.
- - Melt butter in large pan stirring in the pepper toasting for a minute.
- - Add a cup of the pasta water and bring to a simmer.
- - Add pasta then slowly add in cheeses tossing together until a "creamy" sauce forms. If the pasta is too dry then incorporate more of the pasta water.
- - Finish the dish with more freshly ground pepper.
Luxuriously Pasta Carbonara
Pasta Carbonara was something I always ordered out at an Italian restaurant. It seemed so complicated — a dish I couldn’t possibly make myself at home — silly me. Of course, I could make Pasta Carbonara! I make bread and pastries. Those are tricky to prepare well.
Confidence with Cream
I had nothing to fret about regarding this recipe. Anyone can do it. It is just cream, egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, and pasta water.
Why was I so afraid? No clue. It does take practice to get the consistency right. It is simple. And quick.
Sausage or Bacon
You can make this recipe the more traditional way with bacon. Or you can make it with sausage. Depending on how I feel, I use spicy or mild sausage. That goes for how I prepare the sausage. Sometimes I take the sausage out of the casings frying it up that way or cook them whole then slicing them placing them on top of the pasta.
It is worth trying to find pappardelle. I prefer how the sauce takes to it.
So you can now skip the restaurant and make Pasta Carbonara at home.

Pasta Carbonara with Italian Sausage
- 8 ounces pappardelle or fettuccine
- 1 cups frozen peas
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil

- Cook the pasta according to the package directions, adding the peas during the last minute of cooking. Reserve ½ cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta and peas, and return them to the pot.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausages, turning occasionally, until cooked through about 10-15 minutes.
- In a mid-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, half-and-half or cream, Parmesan, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Add the egg mixture and reserved cooking water to the pasta and peas in the pot.
- Cook over low heat, tossing gently, until the sauce is slightly thickened and coats the pasta. Serve with the sausage and additional cheese.

The solution to identity theft, according to Microsoft, is found in developing better and smarter user technology. Yet others say smart passwords and user verification at application level will be more effective.
Others still insist that a root and branch re-evaluation of a firm’s business model is necessary to establish a modern, secure environment where on-line users can come and go freely. So who is right, or are they all stating the same problem in a different way?
There is certainly a divergence of views about how the future of computer security will look in the short term.
For the conservatives, the challenge is one of blocking holes and breaches as they appear; new patches and more sophisticated operating systems will make life tolerable.

An intimate relationship is a deep way to fulfillment. It is the most general and primal human emotion. It can help people overcome obstacles in life, which is a origin of great pleasure. In fact , many people seek to express their very own love within a romantic relationship. Nonetheless defining exactly what a romantic relationship means is tough. The first step is usually to define the concept of a romantic relation. It is important to define the two main parts of a loving relationship.
In past times, a romantic relationship was purely defined by two people involved. It could be a sexual relationship or a faith based relationship. It may be an interdependent or non-monogamic association among two people. In the present, the term romantic relationship refers to a complex pair of associations among two people. It could involve many individuals, and it can also be as simple as two partners or a community of fans.
It can be difficult to find a partner so, who truly values the relationship and wants to invest in it. Seductive relationships are more inclined to last than those that last for prolonged.

A Colorado State University study is the first to show that antibiotic drugs used specifically for enhancing growth, preventing diseases and increasing feed efficiency in food animals, such as cattle, are making their way into public waterways.
The study, which identifies antibiotics in waterways that come from both human and animal uses, is the first to pinpoint drugs specifically from animal sources. For example, the antibiotic monensin, used exclusively in agricultural applications for growth enhancement in cattle, is used as a marker in the study and was measured only in waterways located near animal feeding operations. The study also is among the first to measure the compounds in stream and river bed sediment and found that the concentration of antibiotics was 20 times to 1,000 times greater in sediment than in the surrounding water.
According to a separate collaborative Federal Drug Administration and Colorado State College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences environmental assessment for the use of monensin in the feed of beef cattle, these levels are below concentrations that could result in environmental impact or effects on human health. The antibiotic study’s authors also point out that the results do not necessarily implicate waste management practices of animal feeding operations, but rather reveal that animal antibiotics are making their way into streams and rivers.
“The presence of antibiotics in waterways drives two primary concerns,” said Ken Carlson, associate professor of civil engineering and principal investigator of the project. ”The first is the potential toxic dangers of these compounds to fish, plants and other aquatic organisms – as well as to humans through drinking water – because water treatment plants generally cannot remove all of these compounds. There is also a potential, which we are currently studying, that these types of animal and human antibiotics have on contributing to the emergence of strains of disease-causing bacteria that are resistant to even high doses of drugs.”
Carlson added that future studies are needed to determine exactly how the antibiotics make their way into public waterways, how long the drugs stay in water and sediment and to better understand potential dangers to aquatic life, animals and humans. The presence of pharmaceutical compounds in urban wastewater discharge also is recognized as an important issue and is being studied by researchers across the country.
As a result of the study’s findings, the Colorado State group is beginning to work with the agricultural community to identify best management practices at agricultural operations, such as waste handling that will minimize the release of these compounds to the environment and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices in the future.
“Our group wants to work closely with the agricultural community to develop simple approaches for reducing the release of these antibiotics,” said Amy Pruden, assistant professor of civil engineering and co-principal investigator of the study.According to Pruden, these compounds end up in waterways because only a fraction of the drugs are completely metabolized by animals or humans, which means the medicine’s active compounds often pass through the body and are discharged into public wastewater systems or waste lagoons. Since these compounds are still active, the ultimate fate of these antibiotics is an important environmental issue.
For two years, the Colorado State research group has been studying the occurrence, transport and fate of antibiotics used for human and animal-production purposes in the environment. The specific objective is to understand the extent of occurrence of these compounds in different areas of the Cache la Poudre watershed in Colorado and then to determine the relative contributions from urban and agricultural sources. However, study leaders believe the results of this study are applicable to areas throughout the nation.
Since the use of antibiotic medicines began more than 40 years ago, animal feeding operations have been increasing the use of feeds fortified with these compounds. Although active remnants of human pharmaceuticals, such as estrogen from birth control pills, have been known to make their way into the environment for many years, only recently have researchers identified a significant number and quantity of veterinary medicines in the environment. In a landmark study, the U.S. Geological Survey measured concentrations of 24 antibiotics in water samples from 139 streams and rivers across 30 states in 1999 and 2000; the compounds were found in 80 percent of the sampled streams. However, the antibiotics measured had other uses than just for animal growth stimulation, and it could not be determined if the antibiotics entered streams through wastewater treatment plants or animal feeding operations.
“The most important question that needs to be addressed relates to the occurrence and source, either urban or agriculture, of these compounds,” said Jessica Davis, professor of soil and crop sciences and co-principal investigator of the project. “The study’s objective was to begin measuring the occurrence of a range of antibiotics in the environment and in suspected sources. Assuming the goal is to minimize discharge of antibiotics to the environment, we can then begin identifying approaches for reducing the release from both urban and agricultural sources.”
The study, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the university’s Agricultural Experiment Station, was conducted on the Cache la Poudre River, which originates near the Continental Divide in Rocky Mountain National Park and flows through steep mountainous terrain for about 43 miles before entering Fort Collins. After traveling through Fort Collins, the river moves through about 45 miles of agricultural landscape, on which more than 50 agricultural livestock operations are located, before it joins the South Platte River in Greeley. Five testing sites were established along the river from its mouth to its merger with the South Platte. There are no significant tributaries to the Poudre River, which helps make this an ideal watershed to study the occurrence of the introduction of antibiotics into the watershed through natural areas as well as urban and agricultural landscapes.Among the compounds measured were five tetracyclines and concentrations of three ionophore antibiotics. Although tetracycline drugs are extensively used for treating human diseases, they also are extensively used as animal antibiotics in the United States. The ionophore antibiotics are of special interest because they are used exclusively in agricultural applications.
Among other findings, of the five sites, the only site where no antibiotics were detected was the natural area site in the mountains before the river flows through urban or agricultural landscapes. By the time the river had exited the third testing site in Fort Collins, six of the monitored 11 antibiotics were found in samples, indicating urban sources of contamination such as wastewater treatment plant discharges. At the final site in Greeley, where the river converges with the South Platte, all five of the tetracyclines monitored were present, showing both urban and agricultural influences.
Notably, monensin, used only for animals, was found only at sample sites near agriculturally-influenced regions of the watershed.
Another important finding of the study was the significantly greater concentration of the three ionophore antibiotics, used only for food animals, in the sediment compared to the overlying water. For monensin, the concentration in the sediment was approximately 1,000 times greater than in the river. Salinomycin was about 500 times greater in the sediment than the water column and narasin was 100 times greater in sediment than water. However, this is still well below safe concentrations for aquatic life and humans. These results indicate that antibiotics can accumulate in the sediment and potentially impact stream health.
Future phases will study mechanisms for transport of these compounds to the stream and identify additional strategies for minimizing the release of these compounds to the environment.

Here we are once again … the closer we get to November’s mid-term election, the greater the threats of violence across the nation. When violence is incited, directly or indirectly, by people who have a larger-than-life voice, it is particularly harmful, as Dan Rather points out in his latest newsletter …
The Threat of Violence
“The rhetoric is the candidate”
By Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner
4 October 2022
As many of you probably know, Donald Trump recently issued a threat of violence against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, along with a racist attack on his wife, Elaine Chao, who served in Trump’s Cabinet. Of McConnell, Trump said, “He has a DEATH WISH” (emphasis Trump’s), and he referred to Chao as “Coco Chow.”
If you had expected Republican politicians to rally in disgust around some version of “this finally crosses a line,” you would be disappointed. But I imagine few of you expected anything of the sort.
The spinelessness of Republican officials should not excuse the fact that Trump is once again wading into very dangerous waters, especially when you consider the fervor (and the arsenals) of many of his supporters. Although “wading” is not the most accurate verb for his behavior. Trump is not a mere passerby, and he is never tentative. He is an expert at roiling, stoking, and destroying the equilibriums of our democracy with his incendiary rhetoric.
This latest episode had me thinking back a few years to another moment that eerily forbode the present. This was well before the violent insurrection of January 6, before Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by,” even before “very fine people on both sides.”
The date was August 9, 2016, and Trump was leading a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina. He had the crowd in a frenzy with his usual attack lines against Hillary Clinton. And then he went somewhere so outrageous that it sent out shockwaves — which is notable considering that by this point, much of his daily bile had already been normalized.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” he said. The crowd booed. Trump, sensing a moment, then added, “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
The insinuation was clear, and it is worth remembering what it exposed at that moment, before Trump ascended to the presidency and everything else that followed. So I thought it might be of interest to reshare what I posted on Facebook in the hours after that statement. Sometimes it is important to look back and remember what was said at the time.
No journalist trying to be objective and fair, no citizen who cares about the country and its future can ignore what Donald Trump said today. When he suggested that “The Second Amendment people” can stop Hillary Clinton, he crossed a line with dangerous potential. By any objective analysis, this is a new low and unprecedented in the history of American presidential politics. This is no longer about policy, civility, decency, or even temperament. This is a direct threat of violence against a political rival. It is not just against the norms of American politics, but it raises a serious question of whether it is against the law. If any other citizen had said this about a presidential candidate, would the Secret Service be investigating?
Candidate Trump will undoubtedly issue an explanation; some of his surrogates are already engaged in trying to gloss over it, but once the words are out there, they cannot be taken back. That is what inciting violence means.
To anyone who still pretends this is a normal election of Republican against Democrat, history is watching. And I suspect its verdict will be harsh. Many have tried to do a side-shuffle and issue statements saying they strongly disagree with his rhetoric but still support the candidate. That is becoming woefully insufficient. The rhetoric is the candidate.
This cannot be treated as just another outrageous moment in the campaign. We will see whether major newscasts explain how grave and unprecedented this is and whether the headlines in tomorrow’s newspapers do it justice. We will soon know whether anyone who has publicly supported Trump explains how they can continue to do so.
We are a democratic republic governed by the rule of law. We are an honest, fair, and decent people. In trying to come to terms with today’s discouraging development, the best I can do is to summon our greatest political poet, Abraham Lincoln, for perspective:
“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
Lincoln used these stirring words to end his First Inaugural Address. It was the eve of the Civil War, and sadly his call for sanity, cohesion, and peace was met with horrific violence that almost left our precious Union asunder. We cannot, must not let that happen again.
What the Trump presidency would become was apparent long before the election. All the instances like the one above that should have immediately disqualified him from that office were ultimately folded into permissiveness by far too many people. We should strive to always remember and never become inured to this.
Before Trump, it was unfathomable that a presidential candidate would speak and act with even a fraction of his recklessness and divisive appeal to anger and violence. But now, sadly, we are long past having the ability to imagine this atrociousness. We can see the corrosive effects he and his enablers have wrought on this country.
Threats of violence must be condemned, in no small part because threats can become real. Just look at January 6.

‘Like a fireball’: Vladimir Putin unveils new plan to scare the world
Sunday - 08/01/2023 07:10Author: Editors DeskSource: News Corp Australia Network:
The Russian President is hoping one of his new “wonder weapons” will restore his tough-man image – and he’s ordered a warship to parade it to the world.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is hoping one of his new “wonder weapons” will help restore his tarnished tough-man image by ordering a warship to parade it around the world.
He farewelled the frigate Admiral Gorshkov on Thursday as it departed for the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. It’s carrying Zircon hypersonic missiles – weapons capable of flying at about nine times the speed of sound (11,000km/h) to strike targets up to 1000km away.
It represents an attempt by Mr Putin to up the ante against the West as his fortunes continue to flag in Ukraine.
“I am sure that such powerful weapons will reliably protect Russia from potential external threats and will help ensure the national interests of our country,” the 70-year-old leader said in a video conference, alongside the frigate’s commander and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
“This ship, armed with Zircons, is capable of delivering pinpoint and powerful strikes against the enemy at sea and on land,” Mr Shoigu said, adding that Admiral Gorshkov’s mission was to “solve problems” and maintain “regional peace and stability jointly with friendly countries”.
The deployment comes as Mr Putin’s navy struggles to remain relevant in the Black Sea amid the invasion of Ukraine.
The old guided missile cruiser Moskva was sunk in April last year. And raids by Ukrainian speedboat drones have sent its other warships seeking safer waters.
But Mr Putin hopes the sleek, modern lines of the Admiral Gorhkov – commissioned in 2018 after a protracted trial period – will help restore a measure of respect.
During the live hook-up, the Russian President pronounced the Zircon a “unique weapon” without “equivalent in any country in the world”.
But pro-Putin military commentator Sergei Markov took the news of the deployment one step further.
“This is a message to the West that Russia has nuclear-tipped missiles that can easily pierce any missile defences,” he stated online.
Vladimir Putin puts particular pride in his suite of new wonder weapons.
In 2018, he announced to the world that Russia had stolen a technological edge on the West with its new Sarmat (Satan) nuclear-warhead-carrying ballistic missile, Burevestnik (Petrel) nuclear-powered cruise missile, Poseidon nuclear-powered torpedo, Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle, and Kinzhal (Dagger) air-launched hypersonic missiles.
The Zircon is one of the few to have since reached operational status. Kinzhal hypersonic missiles carrying conventional explosive warheads have been used – with minimal effect – against Ukrainian infrastructure.
These would strike “like a meteorite, like a fireball”, Mr Putin declared when they were unveiled.
“Russia remained a nuclear power, but no one wanted to listen to us. Listen to us now,” he warned.
Shortly before his forces invaded Ukraine in February, Mr Putin declared that his new weapons could strike hostile “decision-making centres” across Europe within 10 minutes.
A recent Congressional Research Service report conceded that the US is behind in the race to develop hypersonic missiles.
“Funding for hypersonic weapons has been relatively restrained in the past; however, both the Pentagon and Congress have shown a growing interest in pursuing the development and near-term deployment of hypersonic systems,” the report reads.
“This is due, in part, to the advances in these technologies in Russia and China, both of which have a number of hypersonic weapons programs and have likely fielded operational hypersonic glide vehicles – potentially armed with nuclear warheads.”
It notes that Australia, France, Germany, South Korea, North Korea and Japan are also actively researching the technology.
Admiral Gorshkov is unlikely to participate in the war against Ukraine. Turkey does not allow military vessels engaged in combat to pass through the narrow Dardanelles passage between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. And firing long-range missiles from the Mediterranean risks an international incident if they breach the airspace of any NATO member countries.
The US Pentagon responded to news of the frigate’s deployment by saying it would monitor its movements, but added it did not consider it a serious threat.
“We are aware of the reports regarding the Russian launch of a frigate, the Admiral Grorshkov. We will continue to routinely monitor its activities as we maintain awareness of our operating environment,” Pentagon spokesman Colonel Roger Cabiness told media on Thursday. “While we do not comment on specific capabilities or speculate on hypotheticals, the Department of Defence remains confident in our ability to deter our adversaries and defend United States national security interests at any time, in any place.”
Zircons are designed to be carried by Russian warships and submarines. Their guidance systems can target opposing ships and shore installations, even while taking evasive action to fly around radar and dodge interception attempts.
Admiral Gorshkov is one of just a few ships capable of carrying them.
It’s the lead ship of the new Project 22350 class of stealth frigates designed to replace Russia’s ageing fleet of Soviet-era destroyers. Gorshkov is 130m long with a crew of about 200. It is fitted with 16 multipurpose vertical-launch cells that can carry Zircon hypersonic missiles along with Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles.
Three of the frigates are operational, with another seven under construction.


A public hearing Wednesday on whether it\u2019s a good idea for Hartford\u2019s Brainard Airport to remain open turned into a heated debate as to what benefit the city of Hartford and its residents receive from its continued operation. The Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee heard testimony from, among others, Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin and a state representative from the city, that Hartford would be far better off if the airport was shut down and the land was developed and put on the city tax rolls. Bronin told the committee that \u201c51 percent of our property is non taxable \u2014 and our capital city is land and growth constrained.\u201d The mayor said the city of Hartford reaps little benefit from the \u201chundreds of acres of prime land with proximity to two major highways\u201d that is where Brainard airport sits. \u201cI asked this group to spend a significant amount of time considering the alternatives to an airport for this very, very valuable piece of real estate,\u201d Bronin said. \u201cThe city of Hartford faces some grave fiscal challenges and doing the right thing with this land, which sits next to the highways and the Connecticut River would be the right thing to do.\u201d The Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee held the hearing to review a draft of the report, which is expected to be completed in October.

According to Michael Gehlken of utsandiego.com, “Wright gets another chance now, taking first-team reps throughout offseason workouts while expected to serve as the Chargers’ starting right cornerback.”
Chargers head coach Mike McCoy said, “It’s a great opportunity for him to be where he’s at right now. He’s making the most of every rep he gets. Opportunities like this don’t come around very often.”
In his last season with the USC Trojans, Wright had 45 tackles including five for a loss-of-yards, six pass deflections and 2.5 sacks. Wright missed six games in 2012 due to a high ankle sprain and a turf toe injury he suffered against the Oakland Raiders in a week-one victory for the Lightning Bolts.
Wright would be the replacement for Antoine Cason who started for San Diego from 2010-2012 before leaving as a free agent this year. San Diego allowed 6.9 yards per pass attempt last season which ranked 12th in fewest yards per pass attempt allowed so Wright could be a key contributor to build on this in 2013.
In 10 games, Wright had 10 tackles, two pass deflections and a forced fumble last season, but it looks as though he will have a much bigger role heading into the 2013 season.
Marcus Gilchrist was San Diego’s second round pick in 2011 and made seven starts over two seasons, but he is expected to start at strong safety, which opened up the door for Wright to start at CB in 2013.
The 26-year-old Wright said that he feels like this is the right time for him and San Diego’s coaches also have high expectations for the third-year CB.

CryptoBnB aims to provide vacation rentals powered by CryptoDNA, a trust-based blockchain technology. Find out how it works today in our review.
What Is CryptoBnB?
CryptoBnB, found online at CryptoBnB.io, is a vacation rental marketplace that aims to improve the short-term rental experience. The platform uses artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and big data to enhance search results, helping users find the perfect vacation rentals for their unique needs.
The core power behind CryptoBnB comes from CryptoDNA, a technology that enables zero tenant discrimination, trustworthy verified property ratings, and tailored search experiences. It’s designed to enhance the ROI of property owners while ensuring renters can find the ideal property.
In other words, CryptoBnB plans to enhance today’s short-term vacation rental industry in two core ways: it allows landlords to accept cryptocurrencies in exchange for bookings, and it also allows guests to find the perfect vacation rentals based on machine learning and AI.
How Does CryptoBnB Work?
CryptoBnB’s goal is to create a smart platform with its own tools to help renters book properties more easily. CryptoBnB aims to solve the technological gaps with today’s vacation rental platforms, drastically improving the user experience while leveraging new technologies like blockchain.
Here are some of the core functions behind the CryptoBnB platform:
- P2P targeted marketing powered by CryptoDNA
- CryptoDNA wallet and intelligent search engines powered by AI and big data
- Smart access blockchain powered by IPFS
- P2P smart contracts
- Decentralized P2P reviews and ratings
CryptoBnB’s intelligent search engine is a key distinction between it and other travel booking platforms. That search engine claims to be the first one linked to blockchain technology. It relies on AI and big data to create optimum search results. The search engine takes into account things like user preferences, transaction history, and the actions of other travelers, with the end result being a perfectly matched rental property for the traveler.
Users interact with the CryptoBnB platform through the CryptoDNA wallet. That wallet logs the traveler’s identity, preferences, history, rating, and token balances. You’ll also interact with CryptoBnB through mobile and web apps.
CryptoBnB will use P2P smart contracts to conduct transactions on the back-end. The platform’s token, CBnB tokens, will be used to exchange services on the platform (i.e. you can pay for bookings using CBnB tokens). Smart contracts on CryptoBnB will be created on the Ethereum virtual machine, or EVM.
The CryptoBnB ICO
There’s a total supply of 1 billion CBnB tokens. The tokens are set at a rate of 1 ETH = 9000 CBnB tokens. They’re ERC20 tokens built on the Ethereum blockchain.
60% of the total supply of tokens are available during the ICO. The remaining tokens are dedicated to founders (15%), a reserve fund (12.5%), team (5%), advisors (2.5%), bonuses (2.5%), and bounties (2.5%).
The ICO is scheduled to begin on January 15, 2018.
You’ll be able to use CBnB tokens to pay for vacation rentals through the platform.
Who’s Behind CryptoBnB?
CryptoBnB is led by founder and CEO Tariq Alwahedi, described as a global entrepreneur, industrialist, and business strategist with 20+ years of combined experience across countries and sectors. The self-made businessman was born and raised in Abu Dhabi, UAE. He is also a graduate of the Kellogg School of Management.
CryptoBnB lists Juan Otero, founder of Booking.com, as an advisor. CryptoBnB is based in Dubai.
To make money, CryptoBnB plans to charge a service fee of 2% to 3%, which is signifcnatly lower than the 5% to 15% charged by competitors like AirBnB (property owners are charged a fee of 5% to 15%, then guests are charged an additional fee of 3% with AirBnB).
CryptoBnB aims to take short-term vacation rentals into the cryptocurrency space. However, the platform is designed to be more than just AirBnB with cryptocurrencies: the platform also has an advanced search engine that recommends the best possible properties to guests based on their perceived needs. The platform is powered by artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, and machine learning.
As the ICO gets underway next month, CryptoBnB’s team plans to start approaching AirBnB landlords and entice them to switch to CryptoBnB. You can learn more about the ongoing project by visiting online today at CryptoBnB.io.
