GROWING UP IN MIAMI WITH A SPANISH FATHER AND ITALIAN MOTHER, Bianca Dueñas and Maria Dueñas Jacobs were certainly no strangers to indulgent international cuisine. "We grew up on cheese, yoghurt and having pasta as the first dish to every meal," says Dueñas, former senior director of merchandising for Reed Krakoff. "We were really lucky as kids because there was never any punishment attached to food. There wasn't 'what you can and can't have.'" As adults, the sisters have retained that philosophy in their everyday lives and Jacobs, accessories director at ELLE Magazine, has even passed on this sentiment to 1-year-old daughter Luna. "I cook the way that I want Luna to learn how to eat," says Jacobs who eschews typical kid-friendly chicken nuggets for homemade salad and fish. "Everything that we cook for ourselves, we give to her." In recent years, both sisters have refined their palettes to match a growing awareness of their bodies and environments. Take Dueñas who tailored her tastes after a recent discovery of a dairy allergy. "For me it was tragic because I love chocolate and I love dessert," she laments. Meanwhile Jacobs, prefers to cook plant-based meals for her family while maintaining a regular yoga practice. Below, the sisters divulge their healthy secrets discussing everything from their daily meal rituals to a favorite guilt-free tea that tastes like a bit like wedding cake.
You made such a gorgeous salad for us today! What's in it?
B: It's a Charlie Bird rip off. There's farro, which is a grain that just became super popular but we grew up eating farro because our mom's Italian. It's in between a rice and a buckwheat. You have to make sure that when you cook it it's not soggy so it has that al dente bite to it. Then we added tomatoes, pistachios, butternut squash depending on the season, radishes and a bunch of herbs with olive oil and lemon.
M: It's nice because it's really filling but also has crunch because of the pistachios. I like to put some parmesan slices on it but Bianca doesn't do cheese because of her dairy allergy.
Was it difficult giving up dairy?
B: We're Spanish Italian and we grew up eating cheese and yoghurt so my parents were like, "Are you sure?" My dad would be like, "Manchego never killed anyone!" And I was like, 'Dad, it might kill me!" It taught me you can eliminate anything from your diet that you really need to and that living without dairy is not that big a deal.
How has that changed the way you feel?
B: It makes everything lighter not to eat dairy. It did take me back to meats and chicken because I was more on the vegetable and cheese side but when you take dairy out, you're basically vegan if you're not eating meat and that was one step too far for me. So I basically eat fruits, vegetables, fish, chicken and a lot of grains and pasta. I don't eat very much red meat at all.
How would you describe your philosophy on eating and exercise?
M: For me, there were two big things that changed the way that I eat and exercise. The first was when I started doing yoga. That was a complete paradigm shift for me because it made me understand my body and feel my movements in a different way. It wasn't so much about getting fit as much as I just wanted to be strong and I wanted to learn how to breathe. I was always the kind of person that I never knew what to do at the gym, I never knew how to approach the machines. I thought I needed someone to kick my ass in order for me to get a workout. When I started going to yoga flow classes at Yoga Vida, I loved that I was invisible and could do it at my own pace. I just got stronger and it really changed the way that I felt. It was also the introduction to lead a more mindful life in general.
What was the second thing?
M: When I got pregnant, I definitely was particularly mindful of my eating habits. In our family, we always ate pretty well but it made me be more mindful of the things that I ate. I read somewhere that when you're pregnant, it's the first time you're introducing food to your child and in a way you're refining their palette even when they're just four months in your belly. That made me feel a sense of responsibility so I ate fresh and for the most part healthy foods. I was like, "I don't want my baby to like Doritos, so I'm not going to eat Doritos!" Our mom's Italian and our dad's Spanish and I'm obsessed with bread and pasta so I definitely still ate plenty of that but in moderation. I also have a sweet tooth but I just tried not to eat things that are too processed.
Did you have a fitness routine while pregnant?
M: Yes, I did prenatal yoga one to two times a week, walked a lot around the city and kept 2-lb weights in my bathroom so I would do a couple arm exercises in the morning and at night. I love toned arms and figured that's a part of a woman's body that doesn't change much during pregnancy.
Has motherhood affected the way you feed your daughter and yourself?
M: Once Luna was born my eating habits changed as she became the focus. I personally don't believe in "kids food." I'm sure I'll give her French fries and chicken fingers at some point but it's not what I want her staples to be. I'd rather she eats a smaller portion of what I eat versus mac and cheese. My priorities shifted so now I wake up and I worry about planning her meals, her nutrition and making sure she has had everything she needs. One of the steepest learning curves is learning how to take care of your child while also taking care of yourself. That's something I work on everyday. Personally, I've evolved in the way that I eat throughout the years just by learning more and more, by recent documentaries like Forks Over Knives. My husband and I stopped eating meat about a year ago because of that. I never ate red meat and only ate chicken and turkey so it wasn't difficult for me. I like to keep it more plant-based but I still eat fish. I'm not an animal activist and if there's amazing crispy bacon, I'm going to eat it, it's not an allergy, I just try to stay away from it.
Do you have a healthy non-negotiable that you follow every day?
B: First and foremost, water is super important. I hydrate all day. Also, I went to Israel about a year ago and I had these juices that are half orange, half pomegranate. They squeeze it together so it has this really magical color of orange and red. I also take iron and liquid B-12.
M: We're also really good about portion control.
How often do you eat a home cooked meal?
M: At least three times a week.
B: We go to Maria's house a lot because of Luna. She's the celebrity in the family. We also go out to eat a lot. It's part of the New York culture but we both have dining rooms so everybody signs up to the family meal when it's happening.
What's the last meal you cooked for your family?
M: Gnocchi with a good tomato sauce with some zucchini. Fish is also really easy and I'll do that with usually a rice, farro or a vegetable so it's balanced. I like to make fish in foil, which is the easiest thing in the world. When I cook it's usually very fast. It's things that are quick because everything is on a schedule with the baby. You don't want to take two hours to cook cause then it'll be 10 P.M. so it's something that takes 30 to 45 minutes and that's it or I'll just make a big salad.
Take us through a day in the life of meals.
M: My alarm clock is now the baby so I wake up, go to the kitchen to warm up almond milk and get her a banana or strawberries. My breakfast has now become a Kind bar and a tea from Starbucks that I get on my way to work. I don't drink coffee. If I want caffeine, I do English Breakfast or Chai. Lunch is at work, I either have a lunch event to attend or I go to the Hearst Cafeteria. I really like a hodgepodge, I like picking a little bit from everywhere. So I'll have some kind of grain, steamed vegetable dish and eat at my desk. I'll usually eat a snack when I come home like hummus and chips while I'm feeding Luna. At night I'll either cook for Jordan and myself or we'll order. In our neighborhood, it's a lot of sushi or we'll order from Fiorello's, which has a really good pizza. We discovered Postmates so now we'll get Café Gitane. We eat dessert every night but it's usually dark chocolate with sea salt and almonds. We eat that every night with a little bit of vanilla almond milk.
B: I have either Pilates or French every morning. I do each one three times a week. I have a Pilates instructor that comes to my house. Her name is Olgu, she's Turkish and is trained in yoga and gyrotonics. She uses blocks and props in the house like a chair to train. She also teaches a couple days a week at Goldman Sachs in their gym for women. From there I'll make my juice, then I'll have my gen maicha brown rice green tea. I also love Mariage Freres' Wedding Imperial black tea, it's like dessert. It's supposed to taste like wedding cake and I make it with almond milk. I typically don't eat breakfast. Sometimes when there are dates in the house, I'll eat dates with peanut butter. There's this English peanut butter called Sainsbury that's actually natural. My boyfriend is Israeli but he grew up in England so he brings all these English products and he's obsessed with the peanut butter he grew up with. It looks like Jiffy and that's always on the breakfast table. Or if there are figs, I'll eat figs in the morning. From then I drink green tea all day and for lunch if I'm not going out, I'll have a salad from Sweetgreen. I get kale, sweet potato, raw corn, garbanzo beans and spicy sunflower seeds with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sometimes I get pesto chicken, which is really good. At home, I like to put raw chia seeds in my salad for crunch. What never fails is dinner. I always have a big dinner. I tried once to do the whole thing of don't eat too much after 7 P.M. but it's just not in me. It's not our lifestyle. We grew up eating a big dinner. So I typically go out to dinner more often than not.
Has growing up with international parents affected the way you cook now?
B: In Italy, you couldn't get things out of season. You can't get pomegranates year round, you can't get butternut squash year round, you have to eat what's in season. That said, one of our favorite things that we eat year round that is really bizarre for other people is gazpacho. Gazpacho is the one thing that every Spaniard makes but has their own recipe. Sometimes you add more pepper, garlic or onion based on your audience. I like it pureed and cold. You make it and it lasts two days for four people because you make a lot. It's almost like a drink at dinner.
M: That's the thing, sometimes you order gazpacho here and it's basically salsa. There's no cream in it but if you get the right consistency, it looks as if it was creamy. It's because of the bread and it's got to be the right bread to make it thicker.
Did your mother set an example in your approach to food?
M: Our mom has evolved the way that we have. She has been a vegetarian for the last 15 years. She still cooked chicken for us even when she was a vegetarian but then she started introducing us to how vegetarians eat and now she tries to follow a macrobiotic diet. She's very spiritual and she's an excellent cook.
What is one of your favorite things that your mom made for you as a child?
B: My mom used to make us this amazing breakfast called pane e olio. It's a baguette cut through the middle, opened and toasted with oil and salt. It was only bread and oil, but it was amazing.
M: Everything she makes from her salad to pasta is pretty much four ingredients, it's never too complicated. She'll make us a sandwich and it will be the best sandwich I ever had with just an egg, tomato and some pesto she made. She somehow layers things that is just perfect. Or maybe it's just because she's our mom.

Carlo Cracco (born 8 October 1965 in Creazzo, Veneto) is an Italian chef and television personality.

Biography
Cracco attended the Pellegrino Artusi institute of hospitality management in Recoaro Terme. After graduating, he worked at the restaurant Da Remo in Vicenza. In 1986 he began to collaborate with fellow chef Gualtiero Marchesi in Milan. Later, he worked at the restaurant at La Meridiana, a resort in the province of Savona. Cracco then lived in France for three years, where he studied French culinary arts.

After that, Cracco returned to Italy, where he was chef at the Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence. The restaurant was awarded two Michelin Stars. Soon Cracco was invited by Gualtiero Marchesi to collaborate once again, this time on the opening of his new restaurant L'Albereta in the region of Lombardy, where Cracco worked as chef for three years. He then opened a restaurant in the Piedmont region called Le Clivie, which earned a Michelin Star.

A few years later, Cracco accepted an invitation from the Stoppani family, owners of the Peck marketplace in Milan, to open a new restaurant called Cracco Peck. He continues to work there today as Executive Chef. Since 2007, the restaurant has been known simply as "Cracco."

The Italian food and wine magazine Gambero Rosso gave Cracco's restaurant "three forks" (their highest rating). In 2007, la Repubblica named it one of the 50 best restaurants in the world.

In February 2014, Cracco founded a bistro in Milan called Carlo e Camilla in segheria ("Carlo and Camilla in the sawmill"), which takes its name from the disused sawmill in which it resides.

In 2011, Cracco began hosting the show MasterChef Italia with Bruno Barbieri, Joe Bastianich and, since 2015, Antonino Cannavacciuolo. Cracco has served as president of the nonprofit organization Maestro Martino since 2012. On 13 February 2013 he appeared at the Sanremo Music Festival, to introduce the artist Annalisa. Cracco was a host on the first and second seasons of Hell's Kitchen Italia on the channel Sky Uno.

He received the America Award of the Italy–USA Foundation in 2019.

Family
Cracco has two daughters from his first marriage, Sveva and Irene. He is currently married to Rosa Fanti, with whom he has two sons, Pietro and Cesare.

No matter how hard you believe in a myth that Macs are immune to viruses, malware, and other cyber threats, it's not true. Security researchers warn about an increase in Mac malware attacks during the past year. For this reason, Malwarebytes offers necessary help. The next-gen cyber security firm has recently released Malwarebytes for Mac. According to the developers, they provide "cybersecurity smart enough for Mac." However, they still need to convince people that their Apple devices actually need protection.
The press release of the new Malwarebytes product tells that that potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) are the main problem that Mac users have to deal with it. However, the security company wants to sell their new product. But here they are not lying. Ransomware, adware and browser hijackers have been actively attacking Macintosh users for more than a year.
KeRanger virus was the first ransomware that aimed at Mac OS X users. Later I was followed by Patcher that spread via Torrent sites and attacked users who prefer illegal content. Finally, in 2017 we have received the first example of Mac ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) – MacRansom virus.
However, potentially unwanted programs, such as SurfBuyer adware or Search.oriveg.com browser hijacker caused the majority of browsing-related problems. And "Mac Detected TAPSNAKE infection" tech support scam is just a cherry on top. Thus, newly released Mac antivirus might help to protect from various cyber threats that are lurking online.
The program has a real-time scanner that uses an advanced anti=malware technology that allows identifying and blocking various cyber threats immediately.
Browser hijackers, adware and other PUPs are annoying. No one can argue with that. Besides, they slow down the device and cause inconveniences while browsing the web. However, this Mac security software helps to avoid and solve these problems.
If you already suffered from one of the Mac infections, Malwarebytes can help you as well. Their new security software can clean malware. Therefore, after ransomware or spyware attack, you can install this tool, run a full system scan and get rid of the cyber threats.
Antivirus scans might be long and annoying because they cause system slowdowns. However, Malwarebytes for Mac completes system scan on the average device under 15 seconds. Speed is definitely appreciated. However, it should not cause slowdowns during this process. It can be run in the background while you work, play a game or watch a movie.
Developers also present their tool as "light and lean." It does not take much of the space on the device. The program is said to be the same size as three digital music files. Undoubtedly, it's an advantage.
Malwarebytes is known for offering affordable and credible security for computer users for years. They did not change this strategy with a release of Mac antivirus. Users can try this program for free and decide If this tool exceeds their expectations or not.
The program has 30 days free trial of a Premium version. Once is over, people can purchase a one-year subscription for €39.99. Probably, we can all agree that it's not expensive and quite a great deal for one-year reputable and up-to-date protection.
If you are still wondering if you really need antivirus for Mac, you should dig deeper into cyber space. Undoubtedly, the majority of attacks were held against Window OS users. But during the past year, malware researchers and security specialists warn Macintosh users to be careful too.
However, even Apple admitted that their production is not entirely immune to Trojans, ransomware, PUPs and other cyber infections. Of course, this confession was made after massive Flashback Trojan attack in 2012 which assaulted about 600,000 Mac OS X users.
Unfortunately, the myth about unbreakable Mac security was crashed completely. The statistical data tells that malware attacks skyrocketed to 744% in 2016. Fortunately, the majority of attacks were related to adware that is more annoying rather than dangerous. However, potentially unwanted programs were not alone. McAfee report shows that Mac malware attacks increased up to 245% in the Q4 of 2016.
Meanwhile, June 2017 Threat Report by McAfee shows the amount of Mac attacks continues growing, and new versions of cyber threats emerge. In July 2017, Malwarebytes reported about 230% increase in Mac malware compared to the last year.
Undoubtedly, Macintosh users should stop believing that they do not need protection. Cyber criminals might reach you and damage your files or trigger privacy-related issues. Thus, you should take advantage of Malwarebytes 30-day trial and test it yourself.

Biological control is the use of a living organism to eliminate or reduce a targeted pest.
When the U.S. realized how important it was to control HWA, several exploratory missions were sent to hemlock forest in Japan and the Pacific North West to identify natural predators of HWA. A handful of predatory beetles that coevolved specialized feeding on HWA were chosen as biological control agents. The UNG Ecological Protection Lab primarily breeds two species of beetles: Lacricobius nigrinus (Ln) and Sasajiscymnus tsugae (St). Our lab, along with UGA and Young Harris, obtain a small amount of beetles each winter which we breed in the lab. These lab reared predators are then released into selected Hemlock Conservation Areas around North Georgia.
Georgia has released nearly 1.4 million predatory beetles since 2004.
HWA is never going to be fully eliminated from the area, but the goal is to establish the predators to keep HWA populations at levels that no longer cause hemlock mortality. This is a complex process that involves understanding the lifecycle and environmental variables that influence both HWA and the predator beetles. The optimum time, locations, and species of beetles being released is a major area of future research. Lots of this research relies on conducting field surveys of predatory beetle establishment and hemlock health in order to learn what management techniques are working the best.
There are two majors limitation to the amount of predator beetles our lab can produce. Hemlock branches with HWA must be brought back to the lab to feed the beetles, this is a finite resource that takes time and energy to collect. The initial populations our lab uses as breeding stock is also a finite and expensive resource. One tool being developed to tackle these issues is what researchers call a Field Insectary. This is an ideal patch of hemlock trees where environmental conditions allow for both healthy trees and large HWA infestations.
Several thousand predatory beetles are released into these areas, and then left to establish into even larger populations for several years. Eventually labs can harvest predatory beetles from insectaries, eliminating the need to collect and ship predatory beetles from their native ranges each year and increasing genetic variation of our breeding populations. A very productive insectary could even produce enough beetles, that labs could collect and redistribute beetles to other areas of forest, effectively allowing insectaries to do the rearing for us.
While biological control is the long-term solution, chemical treatment is a very popular way to protect hemlocks from HWA. One of the common chemicals used is Imidicloprid. It can be applied by anyone, but caution should be used as if not done correctly it can have unintended side effects. This is a broad spectrum insecticide that is long lasting in the tree. Treatment can be done by several methods, the most popular being a soil drench, or a tree injection. Treated trees should lose all HWA within a year and stay not infested for 5-6 years. Treated trees have been shown to continue showing increased health for up to 8-10 years after a treatment.
Chemical treatment is a great management technique if you have a select number of trees you want to save. The main disadvantages is the immense cost and effort it would take to treat large numbers of trees, and the fact that trees would need to be retreated after a few years.

The goals of the Statistics of Income (SOI) Joint Statistical Research Program are to provide new understandings of taxpayer behavior that aid in administering the U.S. tax system and new insights and understandings of the ways that existing tax policies affect individuals, businesses, and the economy. To that end, IRS researchers are matched with qualified researchers outside the Federal Government with the expectation that the projects will lead to developing new datasets useful for future tax administration research, tabulations that can be released to the public, and published articles that discuss the research results, versions of which will be released as working papers on Tax Stats. The program is usually offered every other year.
The Statistics of Income (SOI) working papers present new and exciting research on the U.S. Federal tax system and the methods used to produce tax statistics. Papers are presented at professional conferences, such as the Joint Statistical Meeting of the American Statistical Association and the National Tax Association's annual conference on taxation, and are often published in professional journals. Above you will find a selection of papers organized by presentation year.

Masks Will Return To The U.S. House And White House After The CDC Changes Guidance
By Jaclyn Diaz
Published July 28, 2021 at 5:15 AM EDT
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wears a face mask as she hosts a visit by King Abdullah II of Jordan, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, July 22, 2021.
Masks are again required for members of the House side of the U.S. Capitol amid a nationwide rise in coronavirus cases.
Under the reimplemented mandate, members, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, must wear a "well-fitted, medical grade, filtration face mask" in House office buildings, during meetings and while in the House chamber.
Under the order from Dr. Brian Monahan, Congress' attending physician, the new rule doesn't affect members of the Senate.
The return of masks in the House comes a month after the requirement was first lifted for vaccinated members.
An uptick in cases in the U.S. due to the highly contagious delta variant also led to the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to reverse its earlier position on face coverings. The agency said it recommends fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors if they live in areas with significant or high spread.
The delta variant is more than two times as transmissible as the original strain of the virus, according to experts. All of the vaccines have shown substantial protection against developing severe illness in people infected with the delta strain.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., immediately criticized efforts to mandate mask wearing again.
He tweeted, "Make no mistake—The threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science, but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state."
Members who fail to wear a mask are punishable by a fine or denial of entry into the chamber.
Republican Reps. Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ralph Norman were each fined $500 in May for refusing to wear masks.
After losing their appeals to the House Ethics Committee, the trio said this week that they are suing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., over the fines, according to The Louisville Courier Journal.
White House reporters must mask up
The White House Correspondents' Association announced Tuesday, in the wake of the CDC releasing its new guidance, that it will also require reporters to wear masks while they are inside the White House.
The White House said President Biden and other fully vaccinated administration officials would abide by the CDC's new guidance and wear masks where appropriate.
Biden's chief medical adviser and the nation's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told NPR that the dominance of the delta variant and the ease with which it spreads is the rationale behind new mask guidance.
"We are dealing with a different virus now. This is not the original virus that we were dealing with; this has different capabilities, much more efficient in transmitting from person to person," he said. "Now, the delta variant is totally dominant, it's well over 80, 85%, and in some sections of the country, it's close to or above 90%. This variant is much more capable of transmitting from people to people."

10 Long-Distance Bicycle Routes in the U.S.
Outdoor United States
Hal Amen
From Denali to Miami, America offers up routes that can make for weeks- or even months-long bicycle getaways.
The Big Boys
1. TransAmerica Trail
It doesn't get much bigger than this.
The TransAmerica was inaugurated during the 1976 "Bikecentennial," a bicycle-based celebration of America's 200th Independence Day. The route runs 4,262 miles from Virginia's Atlantic coast, through the heartland of the USA, over the Rockies, and terminates at the Pacific in Oregon.
It was the success of the Bikecentennial that strengthened the popularity of cycle touring and led to the creation of many more American trails, some of which are profiled below.
2. Pacific Coast Route
Delivering what it promises, the Pacific Coast Route takes you from Washington's border with Canada all the way down to San Diego, hugging the water practically the whole way.
Much of the 1,853-mile route is on shared roads, though there are some bicycle-dedicated stretches. Services — including top-notch campgrounds — are never far away.
For the super determined, the route can be extended beyond U.S. borders: north into British Columbia and south into Mexico…and beyond.
3. East Coast Greenway
Though currently only 23% complete, the East Coast Greenway will one day link Calais, Maine, and Key West, Florida, with a 3,000-mile, firm-surface, non-motorized trail system.
If you want to help the Greenway folks get this done just a little bit quicker, check out the details on their Close the Gaps Campaign.
The route is definitely ridable today, with the remaining 77% comprised of low-traffic roads.
4. Great Divide Trail
Challenge-seekers, this one's for you. I'll throw out some stats to get the blood pumping: 2,493 miles long. Mixes gravel, single-track, and converted railroad beds. Crosses the Continental Divide 50+ times. Gains more than 200,000 feet of elevation!
One of the founders of the Great Divide Trail has this to say:
People who've ridden this trail laugh when they hear others say the Tour de France is tough.
The record time for cycling the whole thing? 15 days.
5. Mississippi River Trail
Get to know America's Big River by cycling its length. The Mississippi River Trail follows it for 2,000 miles from its source in Minnesota, down through steamboat country, to the delta in New Orleans.
The trail includes bike-friendly roads as well as off-road paths and winds through 10 states.
Historic Trails
The escape of Southern slaves to the freedom of the North is one of the most tragic and heroic stories in American history. With the newly unveiled Underground Railroad Trail, you can see firsthand the routes that were taken by these fugitives.
Only, picture yourself traveling at night. Pursued. Oh yeah, and on foot.
For more info on the 2,028-mile trail, check out the four-part documentary playing on Adventure Cycling Association's YouTube channel.
7. Lewis & Clark Trail
These were the explorers charged with mapping the land acquired in Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase, and this route traces their journey through the Great Plains and into the Pacific Northwest.
Of course, the original voyage was made largely by boat on the Missouri and Columbia Rivers, so the bike route follows the water whenever possible. It extends for 3,252 miles on a mix of paved roads and multi-use trails and gives easy access to many museums dedicated to the Lewis & Clark expedition.
Short(er) and Sweet
8. C&O Canal and Towpath + Great Allegheny Passage
Though created and maintained as two separate paths, these non-motorized trails link up to connect Washington, D.C. and Pittsburgh, PA, running a total of 330 miles. Cycling the two takes a few days and is popular in autumn, when the leaves turn.
The C&O Towpath is the same one that was used to drag boats along the old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal until the waterway's closure in 1924. Its route is now preserved as a park.
In Cumberland, MD, the Great Allegheny Passage takes over. The rail trail has yet to be extended into Pittsburgh proper, but work is underway to complete this last phase of construction.
9. Green Mountains Loop
If you're not up for driving the Green Mountain State, why not cycle it? The 376-mile Green Mountains Loop starts and ends in Burlington and threads through the small New England towns and forests that make VT so special.
Most of the route is on shoulder-less roads, though traffic is generally light. While you won't actually be climbing any mountains, expect hills.
10. Denali Highway
The Denali Highway was once a supply route for miners during Alaska's Gold Rush, and later the main road for visitors to Denali National Park. Those days are over, and now the highway is a prime destination for cyclers.
Though a fairly short ride at just 133 miles, there are plenty of opportunities for off-the-saddle exploration — you don't have to look far to find a chance to hike, paddle, or camp.
The highway runs from Paxson to Cantwell and is mostly gravel.
A map showing several of these routes and many more is provided by the Adventure Cycling Association.

Q: Process HTTP headers from uasyncio.start_server() I am trying to make a program to process HTTP headers using uasyncio's start_server class, I can see the name headers I am trying to read in Access-Control-Request-Headers after printing the data received from a web request but cannot read the actual data stored in the headers.
Relevant Code:
async def conn(reader, writer):
    try:
        while True:
            res = await reader.read(4096)
            if(str(res) != "b''"):
                print(res)
            writer.write("Recieved!")
            await writer.drain()
    except:
        print("Err")
    print("Client disconnected")
    reader.wait_closed()

async def main():
    anim = uasyncio.create_task(animation())
    serv = await uasyncio.start_server(conn, '0.0.0.0', 80, 10)
    while True:
        await uasyncio.sleep_ms(1000)

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction or link some example code to read the headers?

A: The function below will process the entire HTTP request. You should be able to give it your buffer from res = await reader.read(4096) and extract the headers from the return value.
For example:
req_buffer = await reader.read(4096)
req = parse_http_request(req_buffer)
print(req['headers'])

Here's the function definition...
# Given a raw HTTP request, return a dictionary with individual elements broken out.
# Takes a buffer containing the HTTP request sent from the client.
# Returns a dictionary containing method, path, query, headers, body, etc. or None if parsing fails.
def parse_http_request(req_buffer):
    req = {}
    req_buffer_lines = req_buffer.decode('utf8').split('\r\n')
    req['method'], target, req['http_version'] = req_buffer_lines[0].split(' ', 2)  # Example: GET /route/path HTTP/1.1
    if (not '?' in target):
        req['path'] = target
    else:  # target can have a query component, so /route/path could be something like /route/path?state=on&timeout=30
        req['path'], query_string = target.split('?', 1)
        req['query'] = parse_query_string(query_string)

    req['headers'] = {}
    for i in range(1, len(req_buffer_lines) - 1):
        if (req_buffer_lines[i] == ''):  # Blank line signifies the end of headers.
            break
        else:
            name, value = req_buffer_lines[i].split(':', 1)
            req['headers'][name.strip()] = value.strip()

    req['body'] = req_buffer_lines[len(req_buffer_lines) - 1]  # Last line is the body (or blank if no body.)

    return req

This function does a similar thing with the query parameters if you need them...
def parse_query_string(query_string):
    query = {}
    query_params = query_string.split('&')
    for param in query_params:
        if (not '=' in param):  # Example: somebody sent ?on instead of ?state=on
            key=param
            query[key] = ''
        else:
            key, value = param.split('=')
            query[key] = value

    return query

A: The headers follow the request line, this works for me:
    # print("Client connected")

    request_line = await reader.readline()
    # print("Request:", request_line)
# We are not interested in HTTP request headers, skip them
    header = b""
    while header != b"\r\n":
      header = await reader.readline()
      # print('Header:', str(header) )

A: you need to read about HTTP protocol thoroughly. The headers are read using readline() as they are terminated by a \r\n. If you encounter \r\n\r\n i.e a blank line, you have encountered the end of the headers.
So from the header list, you look for a header you are after.
In regards to your byte to ascii do this
items = await reader.readline()

items = items.decode('ascii').strip()

The latest available data from the Justice Department indicates that the long-term decline in federal criminal prosecutions for official corruption has continued. During FY 2015 the government reported 505 new official corruption prosecutions. Early information indicates that just 140 new corruption prosecutions have been filed during the first four months of FY 2016. According to the case-by-case information analyzed by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), the total for FY 2015 is down 3.6 percent over the previous 2014 fiscal year total of 524 such prosecutions.
The comparisons of the number of defendants charged with official corruption offenses are based on case-by-case information obtained by TRAC under the Freedom of Information Act from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (see Table 1).
This is the lowest level for official corruption prosecutions over the past 20 years. Compared to five years ago when there were 727, the number of FY 2015 prosecutions of this type is down 30.5 percent. Prosecutions over the past year are lower than they were ten years ago. Overall, the data show that prosecutions of this type are down 23.6 percent from the level of 661 reported in 2005 and down 38.1 percent from the level of 816 reported in 1995. Also see earlier 2014 TRAC report on this trend.
The long term trend in official corruption prosecutions going back to FY 1995 is shown more clearly in Figure 1. The vertical bars in Figure 1 represent the number of official corruption prosecutions of this type recorded each fiscal year. Each presidential administration is distinguished by the color of the bars. To view trends month-by-month rather than year-by-year, see TRAC's monthly report series for the latest data.

The wealth of information stored in large online text archives, such as Google Books, makes it difficult for information seekers to access relevant information and detect and explore hidden patterns in the data. In my talk, illustrate how this challenge can be addressed by following a typical GIScience approach.
the user‐centered design and evaluation of two web tools used to explore space, time, and theme interactively (i.e., geovisual analytics).
Evaluating web tools shows that they support target users exploring the humanities from a spatio‐temporal and thematic perspective and reveals the potential of applying this approach to other large online data archives to help users interactively learn about space, time, and theme.
André Bruggmann is a Ph.D. candidate at the GIScience Center of the Geography Department at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. He received his BSc and MSc in Geography from the University of Zurich. Bruggmann focuses on geographic information visualization and analysis and is particularly interested in geovisual analytics, spatialization, geographic information retrieval, and the digital humanities. His research is situated at the nexus of geography and the humanities, and he investigates methods to automatically retrieve, transform, and interactively visualize spatio temporal and thematic data in large digital text archives.


On Thursday, the retailer announced that it's closing almost 30% of its stores by the end of May and immediately launching "going out of business" sales to liquidate merchandise.
On Thursday, the retailer announced that it will shutter at least 159 underperforming stores in locations across 13 states, with the largest amount in Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama.
… The review will include a thorough evaluation of the Company's current operating plan, as well as all other potential alternatives to maximize value.
On Thursday, Fred's also launched "going out of business" sales in all but 37 stores—7% of its retail footprint. According to SB360 Capital Partners, the firm leading Fred's closing sales, the effort to liquidate merchandise should prove successful.
… Fred's will remain "a one-stop shop with continued replenishment of food staples," Miller said, noting milk, eggs, beverages and frozen items would be restocked throughout the sale.
So far, the retailer's efforts to restructure its business model has inspired confidence with investors.
"Fred's shares are up 10.6% for 2019 so far while the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.03% has gained 15.2% for the period," MarketWatch reported.
Fred's shares, which have lost nearly 80 percent of their value since the company was forced to scrap its bid for 1,200 Rite Aid Corp stores in June 2017, rose 2.9 percent to $2.15 in early trading on Thursday.
The retailer is the most recent chain to downsize by shuttering stores. Sears recently announced a new plan for scaled-down shops to help it rebound from bankruptcy, and organizations including Gymboree and Payless ShoeSource have closed locations this year.


I have a master's in education, which I earned while I was a NYC Teaching Fellow. During that time, I also became certified to teach secondary school. In my first school year teaching, I raised the school's scores in the science department 250%. That was the highest passing rate for a state standardized test that the Bronx prep school had ever seen. I set the bar high for my students, with the expectation that students will rise to the challenge. Throughout my teaching career, I have lead various students of different grade levels and academic histories to reach their goals. My history as a tutor goes back to my own high school years, working as a peer tutor for high achieving students. I would like to think that my communication and education abilities have only grown since those years. I am particularly good at the development of lesson plans that cater to each student's specific needs. I continued tutoring throughout undergrad, helping out at a high school. This led to a full-time tutoring and mentoring position with AmeriCorps in Los Angeles. Nowadays, I am studying for my doctorate in international development and urban planning at Columbia University. In my free time, I enjoy cycling and traveling.
Some of my interests include Cycling, Travel, and Sports.

Watch The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance's Spellbinding New Trailer
The puppets are as impressive as ever, and the cast is stacked with A-listers including Taron Egerton, Lena Headey, Mark Hamill, Sigourney Weaver, and more.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is almost here. Netflix's prequel series to Jim Henson's 1982 film debuts on August 30. For now, we have a captivating new trailer to tide us over—one that runs more than two minutes long, offering a good look at the Gelflings, their conniving foes, the Skeksis, and the sage Mystics. As one would expect from a Jim Henson Company-produced series, the puppets are impressively detailed and animated—and the world they occupy, Thra, is a marvel to behold.
The cast was announced last winter, gleaming with star power: Taron Egerton, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Anya Taylor-Joy lead the cast, while Lena Headey, Mark Hamill, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Helena Bonham-Carter, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Natalie Dormer, Andy Samberg, and Keegan-Michael Key play supporting roles.
In a statement at the time, Jim Henson Company C.E.O. Lisa Henson, daughter of Jim Henson, said, "It is humbling to see so many truly gifted actors join the Dark Crystal universe by adding their voices to Age of Resistance. As with the original film, we are now adding a voice cast of the highest caliber that will provide textures and range to the puppetry performances that are the heart of the series. It is thrilling to see this assembled team of artists, puppeteers, and now voice actors, many inspired by my father's original film, work together to realize this unique world—through performance and craft—at a scale that is rarely seen today."
Age of Resistance will span 10 hour-long episodes, another entry into a Dark Crystal universe that has already ballooned beyond the original film to include multiple graphic novels and Y.A. novels offering origin stories and sequels. According to Netflix, this new series "returns to the world of Thra with an all-new adventure. When three Gelfling discover the horrifying secret behind the Skeksis' power, they set out on an epic journey to ignite the fires of rebellion and save their world."

BENGALURU, Dec 6 - Gold prices edged lower on Thursday in range-bound trade as investors booked profits and the dollar strengthened, while palladium fell from a record high hit in the previous session.
Spot gold fell 0.2 percent to $1,235.57 per ounce at 0823 GMT, while U.S. gold futures were 0.1 percent lower at $1,240.8 per ounce.
"Gold has been near key levels of $1,240, so there might be some technical-level profit-taking," said Hareesh V, head of commodity research at Geojit Financial Services in Kochi, India.
A meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and U.S. nonfarm payroll data expected on Friday are keeping gold investors on guard, he said.
U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers are to gather at a Dec. 18-19 meeting, at which the central bank is widely expected to raise interest rates.
The dollar held steady as a spike in risk aversion pressured equities and U.S. Treasury yields. The spread between the two-year and five-year Treasury yields inverted this week and the two-year/10-year spread was at its flattest in more than a decade amid a sharp fall in long-term rates.
"A yield curve inversion indicates higher borrowing cost in short term, so for safe-haven assets in the longer run it's going to be very positive," said Benjamin Lu, a commodities analyst with Phillip Futures in Singapore.
Meanwhile, palladium prices stayed near gold's after outshining the yellow metal for the first time since 2002 on Wednesday, with prices soaring by around 50 percent in less than four months to record levels.
Spot palladium dropped 2.3 percent to $1,215.43 per ounce, still hovering near its record high hit in the previous session.
The market now awaits Friday's U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for November, which is expected to show unemployment remains at 3.7 percent.


New York, NY, January 24 — The production company of Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (Nasdaq: HMNY), MoviePass Films LLC, announced today its film Border was nominated for an Academy Award in the "Best Makeup and Hairstyling" category. Announced in September of last year, MoviePass Films partnered with NEON Rated LLC to co-release the Cannes award-winning film from writer and director Ali Abbasi.
A 2018 Swedish fantasy film, Border's screenplay is written by Abbasi, Isabella Eklöf and John Ajvide Lindqvist. The film is based on the short story of the same name by Ajvide Lindqvist from his anthology "Let the Old Dreams Die." It won the Un Certain Regard award at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and was selected as the Swedish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards, though it was not nominated.
Border is a magical and unexpected love story that stars Eva Melander and Eero Milonoff. The film follows customs officer Tina, who is known for her remarkable sense of smell. She develops a relationship with Vore, a suspicious-looking man, who walks by her and challenges her abilities for the first time. As Tina develops a special bond with Vore and discovers his true identity, she also realizes the truth about herself. The film has received favorable reviews for its poignant, extraordinary plot and unique execution.
MoviePass Films aims to produce between 10 and 12 films per year and acquire or co-produce eight to 10 films per year. In addition to Border, MoviePass Films partnered with NEON on Monsters and Men. MoviePass Films co-acquired American Animals under MoviePass Ventures. Past MoviePass Films productions include 10 Minutes Gone, Gotti and The Row. Additionally, during MoviePass Film's upcoming presence at Sundance Film Festival, the company is looking to acquire more independent content.
"I'm thrilled Border resonated with Academy voters and the film received validation in this way," said Zac Bright, President of Acquisitions at MoviePass Films. "We, alongside our partners at NEON, could not be more proud to have had a hand in bringing this truly enchanting and unforgettable cinematic experience to U.S. audiences."

There are now quite a few electronic journals for Classics. Some of them are listed by the Digitalclassicist.
Here is another example, which is slightly different in scope. It is devoted to didactics and methodology in the field of Greek and Latin and the contributions demonstrate this in a convincing way (Pegasus).
First there is the contribution by Lars Fengler on the recent movie on Troy. This modern reading and reshaping of an old story has, of course, its predecessors and can be added to the now long list of such revisions or re-makings of the Homeric story. Besides providing an useful tool for classrooms, Fengler's contribution makes two interesting points: the table shows clearly how much of the Trojan story is not told in the Iliad. According to Fengler, we have to wait for 50 min before the film shows a scene referring to the first lines of the Homeric text. This statement leads us the the second contribution of Pegasus we shall discuss. The second interesting point in Fengler's table, is the emphasis on the settings in his second column. For a project focusing on the topographical elements of the Homeric text and how there were read in Antiquity like the present one, a new list of settings from the Troad or from the Homeric text is very interesting. The choice of the mentioned places made by Petersen raises several questions. First of all, it is interesting to see that for a movie (not a book neither for an oral performance) the settings seem to be the most important elements to create the outline of the story. Second, making a choice always involves leaving out some items. This is true for Antiquity and for modern times. Having now this subjective choice made by a modern movie-maker, we could compare it to the choices ancient authors or commentators made and ask the question why some settings are thought to be more relevant to modern movie-watchers and other more appropriate for ancient audiences. One important difference is, of course, the presence of the Homeric poems in everyday life. This leads us again to the second article from Pegasus. (see Fengler, Pegasus-Onlinezeitschrift 2+3, 2005, 80-87).
The second contribution is written by Gerson Schade on the classrooms in Antiquity. He discusses the new insights given by papyrological findings. In our discussion here, his article, as well as many others, emphasizes once again the importance Homer had in ancient education and how much the Trojan story was well-known in Antiquity. This is a major difference one has to bear in mind when creating or commenting on new version of the Tojan war (see Schade, Pegasus-Onlinezeitschrift IV/2 (2004), 55).
JSTOR has conducted a study on needs, challenges and missions of University presses in a digital age and has published its report. The study is based on interviews of several institutions involved in university publishing, coming however mainly from the US.
The authors of the study believe that University presses could play a more substantial role in the new publishing schemes than in the traditional ones. According to them Universities' missions, as non-profit organizations, should also involve publishing scholarly results, besides producing them and transmitting them through eduction. They also emphasize that the new means promote sharing of information and results among scholars and create further discussion for specialists, which could again be of great interest for Universities. Another important aspect of these activities is a closer link to librarians and their needs for storage and creating new repositories for the electronic publications. And finally the authors believe that these changes could be a great opportunity for smaller institutions to be more attractive.
The study shows also that one should not create a too clear-cut distinction between printed books and new electronic publications. The documented change does not mean the end of the book, which still -and always may have- some advantages over electronic publications. It is therefore not the scholarly monographs, which will be the main target of electronic publications. There are other forms of scholarly writings, which are more suitable for electronic publications and the authors of the article mention for instance electronic journals as a good starting point (maybe relying on their own point of view). They also draw attention to the fact that there is also a wide range of methods to give access to these electronic publications, reaching from suscription-based publications to open access documents, each of these methods having advantages and inconvenients for scholars, readers and publishers.
– according to the graphs following the article, the part taken by publications from the fields of Humanities (books or journals) is amazingly high in the institutions selected for the study.
Scholarly research based in Humanities could then take an important part in shaping the development of the new medias for their own needs. But often, as their own domains of research do involve less technological aspects, the fields of Humanities are the most reluctant to move to electronic publications. There are no doubts good reasons for this situation. For the Humanities, the book has always be central, as source for information, object of study and goal to achieve. And the question remains of how much value a printed book may always have as objet of study and evidence of scholarly activity in the field of Humanities. There lays then another important challenge for electronic publications.
The annual meeting of the TEI was held at the University of Maryland, College Parke last week. It allowed project from all kind of disciplines to be presented and to learn the latest development in the field.


The new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are "water resistant" (though Apple's warranty doesn't cover liquid damage), and that's fine for accidental spills and splashes, but it's not good enough protection for taking pictures in the pool. For that, you're going to want a waterproof case.
Since the iPhone 7 is still rather new, there aren't a ton of waterproof cases available for it just yet—popular accessory-maker Lifeproof still says 'Coming Soon' on its website—but we were able to put together a list of some solid options based on feedback and features.
I'm not real familiar with the brand Meritcase, and there's not a ton of feedback on Amazon regarding their products, but we included the Crystal case in our roundup because it has some nice features and is backed by a 12-month warranty. Some of the features include IP68 waterproof rating, thin 0.34in profile, embedded mute button, rubber plug for charging port, and more.
You can buy the Meritcase Crystal waterproof case for iPhone 7 for $26.
Sunwukin's waterproof cases for previous gen iPhones have gotten pretty solid reviews, and its iPhone 7 model currently sits at 5 stars on Amazon. It too features IP68 waterproofing, a built-in TPC screen protector, and a plug for the charging port, all backed by a 12-month warranty. The manufacturer says the case can protect your phone for in water for up to 2 hours at a depth of 6.6 ft.
You can buy the Sunwukin waterproof case for iPhone 7 for $22.
You can buy the i-Blason waterproof case for the iPhone 7 for $22 and the iPhone 7 Plus for $22.
Looking for something with a little more color? Then you're going to want to check out this ultra-thin case from Lynxtech. It comes in a variety of colorways, including pink, blue and green. It also checks the neccessity boxes such as IP68 waterproofing, covered buttons and charging port, and like the others, it comes with a 12-month warranty.
You can buy the Lynxtech ultra-thin waterproof case for iPhone 7 for $23 and the iPhone 7 Plus for $23.
The Nexgadget features an IP-68 ingress protection rating and military standard 810F-516 for dust and scratch resistance. It's just a few millimeters thick, has a built-in screen protector and Touch ID cover, and covers for all plugs and buttons. It also has a unique speaker hole design so audio doesn't sound muffled, as is the case with a lot of other waterproof cases.
You can buy the Nexgadget Waterproof case for the iPhone 7 for $26 and for the iPhone 7 Plus for $26.
We will update this list as more cases become available. If you know of a good one that we haven't mentioned yet, be sure to tell us about it down in the comments below and we will check it out.


SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco police are trying to find a teenage boy who robbed a man in a wheelchair.
It happened just after midnight at South Beach Harbor, between Pier 40 and AT&T Park.
Police say the teen put the man in a headlock, knocked him off his wheelchair and then stole his digital camera.
The suspect appeared to be between 15 and 18 years old.

The "Great Reset" - A Royal Joke
Click above image to see video
Dad and His Lad help to bamboozle the "masses".
FriendsofScience: Prince William's "Reset"- Outdated Science and Naïve Geopolitics
On April 4, 2021, the Daily Mail and Sky News reported that the Prince William had called for a 'reset' in the relationship of humans and nature, saying that one goal of his "Earthshot Prize" is to "fix our climate", but this ignores the vast influence of natural forces like the Sun and ocean cycles, says Friends of Science Society. Catastrophe claims about climate change are based on unreliable computer climate models as outlined by CLINTEL, a group of more than 900 scientists and scholars who dispute the claim of a climate emergency.
(Note: The Links and bolding in the above citation were added by me)
The utter gall of people who see themselves as superior to the bulk of humanity, yet have not even had so much as a passing acquaintance with our real Queen -- Mother Nature Herself -- and, of course, as little as possible with their fellow humans!
I can't believe how often, lately, I have been forced to use people's professed religion against them, but a liar is a liar is a liar, no matter how many people may bow before him/her/them:
… Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. ... It is better to be lowly in spirit among the humble than to divide the spoil with the proud...
Excuses might be okay for William -- his Dad has not been known as the world's greatest example of morals or integrity. Nevertheless:
CNBC: Coronavirus crisis presents a 'golden opportunity' to reboot the economy, Prince Charles says
"We have a golden opportunity to seize something good from this crisis — its unprecedented shockwaves may well make people more receptive to big visions of change," he said.
That's it -- SHOCK THERAPY. I thought that had gone out style in psychiatry. But if that's not a blatant admission of messing with people's minds, then I don't know what would be!
And you know what, he might as well have been George H.W. Bush reincarnated. VIDEO
By "the law of the jungle" was Bush referring to the great unwashed or to Mother Nature herself? Either way, there was plenty of real life he wanted rid of.
I think we can safely assume that the cat is out of the bag now: how many more ways are we going to be told that "Covid" is a godsend in disguise; a great opportunity, a blessing -- provided we plebes behave ourselves, shut our mouths, and just follow the leader.
But it can't work its magic overnight; it's going to take some time, so let's keep the peeps locked down and get on with ways to restrict where they go, what they do, what they eat, how many kids they have -- and, especially, bring down the quality of their education (how advisable can a good education be if it causes people to question their superiors?), because if you aren't the son of a son of a Queen you have no business expressing opinions. Your job is to mind your own business and try not to notice that the annointed are naked as jay birds.
Prince William, himself, is proof that a so-so education is all that's required to know what's real and not real. He achieved an 'A' in Geography, a 'C' in Biology, and a 'B' in History of Art.
So, he pretty much knows where China is, and what to do with a paint brush, and plenty about polo. But biology -- not so much because, hey, that's science, eh? Science is boring because, unless it can be perverted to self-serving use, it's, well, useless.
The key is to pervert the scientists themselves. Money, that's the ticket. Money has always had great persuasive value.
William didn't even need to study psychology because nowadays, there are plenty of run-of-the-mill psych grads out there who are happy to keep themselves in business by helping to bamboozle the general public.
They really came into their own when asked to help with effective media hype to fool the masses. This has been going on since Edward Bernays and the introduction of television.
"I decided that if you could use propaganda for war, you could certainly use it for peace. And "propaganda" got to be a bad word because of the Germans using it, so what I did was to try and find some other words so we found the words "public relations".
BBC: Fear of Coronavirus is Changing Our Psychology
Fears of contagion lead us to become more conformist and less accepting of eccentricity. Our moral judgements become harsher and our sexual attitudes become more conservative
Just what the doctor ordered! This is where psychologists can have the most impact: by helping people to relax and just be good, obedient citizens.
Politics? For William and his family, maybe it just comes naturally -- part of the job. Or maybe they're just good at taking suggestions themselves. They're good at seeming genuine when they read what they're told to say, just like Ontario's so-called medical officers: VIDEO
There are great efforts afoot to shut down dissent on internet platforms -- and especially to try to hide contrary bloggers like me. But Internet blow-back is becoming so widespread they'd have to shut down the Net itself to avoid people's minds being poisoned by the truth. Hoist on one's own petard? ... Scuppered by their own schemes? ... Coming a-cropper ...? We can only hope so.

Happy Saturday, today we celebrate the weekend with one of our favorite recipes…Rosemary Biscuits. We were inspired to make these after going to one of our favorite LA Eats, Gulfstream which had the most amazing, mouthwatering, soft, pillowy biscuits we've ever had. Unfortunately we found out the location closest to us has officially closed down. Thankfully, before the restaurant closed we were able to talk to the staff and pick their brains on how the biscuits were made and were able to make our own versions of the "worth the wait" rosemary biscuits.
Of course, we will miss the convince of being able to order these biscuits but not the ridiculous amount of traffic driving to and from Century City, but we thankful now to have our own version and we're ready to share it with you. If you're not a fan of rosemary, you're more than welcome to leave the rosemary out and swap it for a herb you prefer, or leave it out entirely… these biscuits can hold up quite nicely on their own…but we we prefer the rosemary and think you should too!
Bacon. Peanut Butter. Banana Bread? Say what? We love a good loaf bread over here at TYL, and when you combine bacon, peanut butter, and bananas do you know what you get? If you're thinking Elvis, you're not wrong, but when you mix those three things in the kitchen? You make something truly wonderful!
This is the epitome a sweet and savory snack or dessert or get crazy with some french toast. The bacon pairs nicely with peanut butter and bananas already so add them together, and you get magic. Pure magic. A party in your mouth.

*You can take out the peanut butter and add Nutella…YES. Life is better with Nutella.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray your loaf pan with cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add bacon. Cook until the fat had rendered out. Remove the bacon from the pan and reserve the bacon fat.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk your eggs and sugar together. Next add the vanilla, peanut butter, bacon fat, and browned butter. Stir until smooth.
Next, add the mashed the bananas and milk and stir until combined. In batches, slowly stir in the dry ingredients until the batter begins to come together. Fold in the bacon.
Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan. Place the loaf on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow bread to cool and remove from the loaf pan. Serve with peanut butter, butter or nutella.
Hello! Did you miss us? We missed you. We're truly sorry for sort of falling of the face of the earth for the month of February. And January. Moving and adjusting to a new space is our biggest problem, but we really are back. We mean it.
And the best way to kick off being back is to give you our recipe for Cinnamon Banana Bread. Cinnamon and Bananas? What? That sounds weird. Trust us though, it's not. The cinnamon and banana pair perfectly together and create a mouthwateringly delicious take on Banana Bread. It tastes like getting a warm cinnamon hug from Paula Deen.
TYL Tip: This banana bread is perfect for making French Toast. It's really mild and goes perfectly with the flavors of French Toast, which if you're like us, you love cinnamon-y French Toast this is the most perfect combo!
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer) cream the sugars and butter together.
Next, add the mashed bananas and mix.
Add in the eggs and combine.
In a small separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
Next, add the flour mixture and the buttermilk alternatively to the creamed mixture. You want to always start and end with your dry mixture.
Remember to mix the them in on a low speed or mix it in by hand. Mix until everything is combined.
Divide the batter evenly between two greased loaf pans.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then remove the bread from the loaf pan to finish cooling.
Remember, if you like our recipes…don't forget to like, share and subscribe! Thank you!
We have a confession to make. We don't often eat fast food (anymore), but when we get a craving for quick and easy food we always want fried chicken and biscuits from Popeyes. But with most things, we figured if we like it so much, we could find a recipe and make it ourselves.
So we did just that, and after a day of searching and looking through recipes, this is what we came up with. They didn't rise as much as we would have liked so we added some additional proofing time (letting it get puffy), but they taste just like the biscuits from Popeyes, and honestly, much better.
In a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together, bisquick, 7Up, and sour cream in a bowl. Mix until everything is combined and starts to form a dough. Form into a ball, let it proof for 20-30 minutes.
Transfer the dough ball to a floured surface, and gently roll the dough out.
Brush the bottom of a baking stone or baking sheet with melted butter, place the biscuits on the stone or sheet. Brush the tops with the melted butter and put in the oven and bake for 11 minutes.
When the timer goes off, brush the biscuits with remain butter and cook for another two minutes. Remove from oven, cool and enjoy!
Banana bread is considered a quick bread, meaning that it forced to rise, opposed to naturally rising yeast breads.
Baking powder was invented in the mid 1800's in England by a chemist, Alfred Bird, who was trying to find an alternative for his wife who was allergic to yeast and eggs.
Anyways, fast forward a little bit to 1933, after the "rise" (haha) of baking powder, one of the first known banana bread recipes appeared in a Pillsbury cook book called Balanced Recipes. After this publication, banana bread took off and included many variations, from raisins, nuts, chocolate or even bacon if you're feeling a little non-traditional today.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch loaf pan with Pam.
In a small saute pan, toast your walnuts for three minutes of a low temperature. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream together your butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Next add the salt, eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, and baking soda. Mix together.
Fold in the flour and then mix in the walnuts and chocolate. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
Place loaf pan in oven and cook for about an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in a pan for ten minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
It's Sunday and we all know what that means! Brunch Day! And one of our favorite brunch items is French Toast! But not that kind of French Toast that has excess eggs. That's actually one of our breakfast pet peeves, we ordered French Toast, not egg toast.
A couple of weeks ago we had breakfast at one of our favorite deli's, Nate and Al's. And I (Marlee) ordered the French Toast and was totally disappointed when my French Toast had all that extra egg business. So when we came home, we wanted to make the kind of French Toast we like.
We obviously utilized our delicious Easter Bread, but you can very easily use challah, brioche, or really any bread of your choosing. But if you happen to make our Paska Bread, then you must try our Paska French Toast!
**This recipe is easily halved, if you only have half a loaf don't worry just half everything (except for the cinnamon, vanilla, and salt)!
Preheat your griddle to 350°.
In a bowl beat your eggs and transfer to a shallow baking dish.
Next, pour in your milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Mix well.
If your bread isn't cut, go ahead a do that, we did about an inch, but it's really up to you.
Melt one tablespoon of butter on the hot griddle and spread around as evenly as you can.
Dip your Paska into the milk mixture and repeat on both sides. If you like the added crunch dip the Paska into the Corn Flakes, if you don't skip this and put the Paska on the hot griddle.
Cook for four minutes on each side. Cook until all the bread is finished. In between batches, re-butter the grill.
Serve with warm Brown Sugar Maple Butter Carmel. You'll thank us. We promise.
Crunchy French Toast is the best French Toast!!
