What People Are Saying About Us
We had our kitchen done by Eric at Kitchen Solvers and it has been wonderful. The quality of the materials is great and the attention to detail during the installation was first rate. We added some cabinets and they are top quality as well. Eric was easy to deal with from the first showing of the samples in our home to the end of the project. He even put up temporary dust walls during construction and literally left our house cleaner than when he started. We would use his services again and wholeheartedly recommend him.
Working with Kitchen Solvers was a pleasant experience from start to finish. The owner and GM, Eric Rognlien, spent hours carefully measuring for new cabinets and drawers. Kammy Bentley, Sales & Design Consultant, intuitively knew what type of kitchen I wanted and quickly pointed to the most fitting designs. She was a pleasure to work with. The star of the show was Kitchen Solvers' installer, Randy Icenogle. Not only was he extremely skilled at carpentry, but his customer relations skills were top notch. He and his crew were trustworthy. After just one day in our house, we knew we could leave them alone and be able to continue our daily activities outside of our home. Our kitchen now looks fresh and modern and turned out just the way we imagined. We are very pleased!
Amazing service, quick response and a free quote. I contacted Kitchen Solvers and Eric showed up on time with samples. We were able to make decisions very quickly based on his suggestions, and it turned out great! Could not be happier with the outcome. He showed up with an expanded crew to finish everything before Christmas. Fantastic job Eric! We are going to hire Kitchen to do our bathrooms and bar as well.
We had our kitchen done almost two years ago. I wanted to wait awhile to see how it held up and I guess time got away from me. The bottom line is it looks just as good now as it did then. I was skeptical at first about the process but the products are great and the installation was stellar and we would do it again. Thanks
Eric and his team did a fantastic job on our kitchen. We had fur downs removed, peninsula removed, and beautiful cabinets and hardware installed. Staff worked in courteous and timely manner; trustworthy. Months after work was done, the lead carpenter came and fixed a broken tile issue to our satisfaction. Would recommend Kitchen Solvers!
I worked with Eric of Kitchen Solvers North Dallas to have several pieces of custom furniture and entertainment cabinets made to accommodate TV and sound/stereo systems. Eric was easy to work with and provided excellent quality of product and service. I would not hesitate to work with Kitchen Solvers again or to recommend to others.
Eric was very dependable and very responsive to our needs. The work was beautifully done on time. The thing that I was most pleased with, other than the final results, was how well Eric cleaned up each day before he left. The price was also very fair and we got new cabinets for what some places quoted us for refinishing our old ones. I would definitely use Kitchen Solvers with Eric Rognlien again!
Exquisite workmanship! The finished product is so stunning it feels like we have a brand new house. We would rehire Kitchen Solvers in a heartbeat.
Eric did a great job remodeling our kitchen. We received new cabinets, counter tops, and back splash, sink, and had all new appliances installed. The work was done very professionally, beautifully, and was done on time. I would definitely hire Eric with Kitchen Solvers again!

Wooosh, away with the dust.
Remember me?
I almost vanished there!
Marathal was sweet to write and check up on me, which made me realize, that an update is in order, because vanishing without a word really is not my thing.
I hope, that all of you beloved bloggers are well. I am not neglecting my blog or you, because I lost inspiration, but I am simply so busy elsewhere.
And one must go where the passion carries them, right 🙂
Those of you who know me, also know, that I very much anticipate the arrival of Classic World of Warcraft. I thought I would just play it next to the Current version of the game, yet now, I am not so sure.
It feels as if it came out of nowhere, but the Officers and some of the Members in the Guild I led in the past, have suddenly started coming together, with all of their joy and excitement.
And so, the rebuild of my beloved social Guild has begun. I am beyond thrilled.
I have been blessed with the most amazing Officer team, I have ever had in my 14 years of playing World of Warcraft, and I am so grateful for them. Being able to rebuild what we had, before the Classic game has even launched, provides us with such a solid foundation, and it is where I now spend almost all of my spare time – and happily so.
As for the Current version of World of Warcraft, I hardly play anymore. I have roleplayed the last couple of months, but the activity was starting to drop at the same time, that my beloved members came together, so it makes it feel as if things happen for a reason;
I am now meant to draw on my 14 years of World of Warcraft and Guild experience to really make this Classic journey absolutely amazing.
I feel as if this Guild will be the culmination of everything, that I have learned in the past, and it is my hope, that Classic will make it easier to appeal to potential members, since I imagine, that players with a similar mindset to our own, will be drawn to Classic.
I am excited for the times ahead, and I look forward to the gameplay, that Classic has to offer. It just appeals so much more to me, and I cannot wait to slow down 🙂
Alunaria´s Avenue is here to stay though, and once the roots of my Guild have grown strong, I will mix in a little blogging, when time allows for it. That is my hope.
Until then, I wish you all so well, and hope, that you still find joy in World of Warcraft.
Always remember to take a moment and appreciate all the little things, such as the gryphons in Battle for Azeroth and the way they drink water from time to time. 🙂 There is beauty all around us.
Have a fantastic – not too hot – not too cold – not too rainy – not too humid – not too dry – but just right – summer, and thank you for still visiting me here.
I will look forward to catch up 🙂
~ Alunaria

Glimpses of Aida: Props RoomBy Cecily CarverPosted in Aida
Last week, I and a second intrepid photographer visited the props and costume rooms where parts of Aida are being prepared for the stage. Today we'll show you a few items from the props rooms, and the next post will focus on the costume rooms. These are the first images we're making available from the production, and while we don't want to give too much away, we hope you'll find them intriguing. If you've seen director Tim Albery's other acclaimed productions for the COC (which include War and Peace and Götterdämmerung), you know that his approach is likely to be anything but ordinary.
Albery and his designers have chosen a contemporary setting for the opera, and all the scenes take place in a luxurious and ostentatious palace in an unspecified war-torn country. The sets and costumes are meant to convey a society governed by the "nouveau riche", with lots of money and power but somewhat vulgar and outdated tastes. The lavish opulence of the surroundings will stand in contrast to the fundamental intimacy of the opera.
Our attention was first piqued by this shelf of metal helmets.
And this one in particular, with grated eye coverings.
Here's a closeup of the eye grate.
There was a large piece of furniture with a leaf design painted on it (shown here in closeup).
On a smaller scale, there was also a luxurious gold chair next to a trolley laden with fruit.
A second trolley was fully-stocked with treats (not for consumption, of course).
And finally, what would Aida be without palm trees?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 23, 2011) – The current U.S. Women's National Team Weekly update released on May 23 includes briefs on U.S. players competing overseas and other team news.
SYKORA UPBEAT AFTER RELEASE FROM HOSPITAL: Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas), the Best Libero at the 2010 FIVB World Volleyball Championship and a three-time U.S. Olympic Volleyball Team member, was released from in-patient hospital care on May 18, 36 days after suffering serious injuries in a bus accident in Brazil on April 12. On her first day out of the hospital on May 19, Sykora went to what is familiar to her – the American Sports Centers where the U.S. Women's National Team trains in Anaheim, Calif. "To come here this morning and see my teammates – they are my family, they are my sisters, they are the people that I love to death," Sykora said of returning to the gym. "To come back to my family and my life and everything that I have ever known has been amazing. When you have a serious injury like this, everything means more to you than back in the day. This means so much to me. It is incredible how great it has been today. I can't even tell how great it was. It was like I was on a number 10 of 10 of an emotional happiness high today." Yet, for the iconic member of the U.S. Women's National Team, Sykora is taking her continued rehabilitation one step at a time. For the full feature, click here.

Floccaria Grev. (1827)
Penicillium () is a genus of ascomycetous fungi of major importance in the natural environment as well as food and drug production.
Some members of the genus produce penicillin, a molecule that is used as an antibiotic, which kills or stops the growth of certain kinds of bacteria inside the body. Other species are used in cheesemaking. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains over 300 species.[2]

The genus was first described in the scientific literature by Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link in his 1809 work Observationes in ordines plantarum naturales.[3] Link included three species—P. candidum, P. expansum, and P. glaucum—all of which produced a brush-like conidiophore (asexual fruiting structure). The common apple rot fungus P. expansum was selected as the type species.[4]
In a 1979 monograph, John I. Pitt divided Penicillium into four subgenera based on conidiophore morphology and branching pattern: Aspergilloides, Biverticillium, Furcatum, and Penicillium.[5]
Penicillium is classified as a genus of: domain eukaryota, kingdom Fungi, division Ascomycota (order Eurotiales, class Eurotiomycetes, family Trichocomaceae).[6]
Selected species include;
- Penicillium albocoremium
- Penicillium aurantiogriseum
- Penicillium bilaiae, which is an agricultural inoculant
- Penicillium camemberti, which is used in the production of Camembert and Brie cheeses
- Penicillium candidum, which is used in making Brie and Camembert. It has been reduced to synonymy with Penicillium camemberti
- Penicillium chrysogenum (previously known as Penicillium notatum), which produces the antibiotic penicillin
- Penicillium claviforme
- Penicillium commune
- Penicillium crustosum
- Penicillium digitatum a plant pathogen
- Penicillium echinulatum produces Mycophenolic acid
- Penicillium expansum, a plant pathogen
- Penicillium funiculosum, a plant pathogen
- Penicillium glabrum
- Gorgonzola cheese
- Penicillium italicum
- Penicillium lacussarmientei
- Penicillium marneffei, a thermally dimorphic species endemic in Southeast Asia, which presents a threat of systemic infection to AIDS patients
- Penicillium purpurogenum
- Penicillium roqueforti, which is used in making Roquefort, Danish Blue cheese, and also recently Gorgonzola
- Penicillium stoloniferum
- Penicillium ulaiense
- Penicillium verrucosum produces ochratoxin A
- Penicillium viridicatum produces ochratoxin
The genus name is derived from the Latin root penicillum, meaning "painter's brush", and refers to the chains of conidia that resemble a broom.[7]
The thallus (mycelium) typically consists of a highly branched network of multinucleate, septate, usually colorless hyphae. Many-branched conidiophores sprout on the mycelia, bearing individually constricted conidiospores. The conidiospores are the main dispersal route of the fungi, and often are green in color.
Sexual reproduction involves the production of ascospores, commencing with the fusion of an archegonium and an antheridium, with sharing of nuclei. The irregularly distributed asci contain eight unicellular ascospores each.
Species of Penicillium are ubiquitous soil fungi preferring cool and moderate climates, commonly present wherever organic material is available. molds, they are among the main causes of food spoilage, especially species of subgenus Penicillium.[8] Many species produce highly toxic mycotoxins. The ability of these Penicillium species to grow on seeds and other stored foods depends on their propensity to thrive in low humidity and to colonize rapidly by aerial dispersion while the seeds are sufficiently moist.[9] Some species have a blue color, commonly growing on old bread and giving it a blue fuzzy texture.
Some Penicillium species affect the fruits and bulbs of plants, including P. expansum, apples and pears; P. digitatum, citrus fruits;[10] and P. allii, garlic.[11] Some species are known to be pathogenic to animals; P. corylophilum, P. fellutanum, P. implicatum, P. janthinellum, P. viridicatum, and P. waksmanii are potential pathogens of mosquitoes.[12] P. marneffei, which causes mortality in the Vietnamese bamboo rats, has become a common opportunistic infection of HIV-infected individuals in southeast Asia.[13]
Penicillium species are present in the air and dust of indoor environments, such as homes and public buildings. The fungus can be readily transported from the outdoors, and grow indoors using building material or accumulated soil to obtain nutrients for growth. Penicillium growth can still occur indoors even if the relative humidity is low, as long as there is sufficient moisture available on a given surface. A British study determined that Aspergillus- and Penicillium-type spores were the most prevalent in the indoor air of residential properties, and exceeded outdoor levels.[14] Even ceiling tiles can support the growth of Penicillium—as one study demonstrated—if the relative humidity is 85% and the moisture content of the tiles is greater than 2.2%.[15]
Some Penicillium species cause damage to machinery and the combustible materials and lubricants used to run and maintain them. For example, P. chrysogenum, P. steckii, P. notatum, P. cyclopium, and P. nalgiovensis affect fuels; P. chrysogenum, P. rubrum, and P. verrucosum cause damage to oils and lubricants; P. regulosum damages optical and protective glass.[16]
Economic value
Several species of the genus Penicillium play a central role in the production of cheese and of various meat products. To be specific, Penicillium molds are found in Blue cheese. Penicillium camemberti and Penicillium roqueforti are the molds on Camembert, Brie, Roquefort, and many other cheeses. Penicillium nalgiovense is used to improve the taste of sausages and hams, and to prevent colonization by other molds and bacteria.[17]
In addition to their importance in the food industry, species of Penicillium and Aspergillus serve in the production of a number of biotechnologically produced enzymes and other macromolecules, such as gluconic, citric, and tartaric acids, as well as several pectinases, lipase, amylases, cellulases, and proteases. Some Penicillium species have shown potential for use in bioremediation because of their ability to break down a variety of xenobiotic compounds.[18] Penicillium also prevents bacteria from affecting the body.
The genus includes a wide variety of species molds that are the source molds of major antibiotics. Penicillin, a drug produced by P. chrysogenum (formerly P. notatum), was accidentally discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1929, and found to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria (see beta-lactams). Its potential as an antibiotic was realized in the late 1930s, and Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain purified and concentrated the compound. The drug's success in saving soldiers in World War II who had been dying from infected wounds resulted in Fleming, Florey and Chain jointly winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1945.[19]
Griseofulvin is an antifungal drug and a potential chemotherapeutic agent[20] that was discovered in P. griseofulvum.[21] Additional species that produce compounds capable of inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in vitro include: P. pinophilum,[22] P. canescens,[23] and P. glabrum.[23]
Although many eukaryotes are able to reproduce sexually, as much as 20% of fungal species had been thought to reproduce exclusively by asexual means. However recent studies have revealed that sex occurs even in some of the supposedly asexual species. For example, sexual capability was recently shown for the fungus Penicillium roqueforti, used as a starter for blue cheese production.[24] This finding was based, in part, on evidence for functional mating type (MAT) genes that are involved in fungal sexual compatibility, and the presence in the sequenced genome of most of the important genes known to be involved in meiosis. Penicillium chrysogenum is of major medical and historical importance as the original and present-day industrial source of the antibiotic penicillin. The species was considered asexual for more than 100 years despite concerted efforts to induce sexual reproduction. However, in 2013, Bohm et al.[25] finally demonstrated sexual reproduction in P. chrysogenum.
Penicillium marneffei, an AIDS-associated pathogen, was also previously assumed to reproduce exclusively by asexual means. This assumption was largely based on the highly clonal population structure of this species. However, recent work has revealed that the genes required for meiosis are present in P. marneffei.[26] This and other evidence indicated that mating and genetic recombination does occur in this species. It was concluded that P. marneffei is sexually reproducing, but recombination is most likely to occur across spatially and genetically limited distances in natural populations resulting in a highly clonal population structure.[26]
These findings with Penicillium species are consistent with accumulating evidence from studies of other eukaryotic species that sex was likely present in the common ancestor of all eukaryotes.[27][28] Furthermore, these recent results suggest that sex can be maintained even when very little genetic variability is produced.

31 July 2014
From FBU:
The strikes will take place for eight days from Saturday 9 August – until Saturday 16 August between 12pm – 2pm and 22:59 – 23:59.
Firefighters have today issued a further eight day period of strike action as the Westminster government have not improved their pension proposals.
The current proposals in England and Wales are still unworkable and mean that firefighters will still face dismissal simply because they cannot maintain the high physical fitness requirements necessary for their role until they are age 60.
The proposals would also mean that if firefighters opt for early retirement, the reduction in their pension would be unacceptably high.
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said: "It is absolutely ludicrous that a government can impose a scheme which means that firefighters will have to ride engines and rescue people from fires up to age 60.
"This is unsafe and unrealistic for both firefighters and the public.
"We know it, and the public know it, but the government will not listen to the evidence based case we have made to them".
An improved position meaning that firefighters can retire with more flexibility from age 55 has been considered and costed by the government for more than three months but has simply not been offered.
The costings provided by the Government's Actuary Department and released by DCLG mean firefighters who take early retirement would get a reduced pension of around 10% – 13% rather than the massive reduction that the government currently proposes.
Proposals incorporating flexible retirement options should be included in an improved offer for the FBU for its members to consider.
Sean Starbuck, FBU national officer, says: "It's extremely disappointing that we have had to issue more strike dates but the government are simply not listening to our concerns.
"We have a new fire minister but to date she doesn't appear to have listened to our case.
"The government still has an opportunity to improve their offer which could avoid the need for action."
No industrial action is being taken in Scotland and N Ireland as improved pension proposals are being discussed.
Starbuck added: "Firefighters are angry as the Westminster government claims we don't want to resolve this dispute.
"This is absurd as the situation both in Scotland and N Ireland shows this is simply not the case."

Andrews to retire from Congress
Congressman Robert Andrews will resign as a representative of the southern jersey 1st congressional district, according to a reports in Poltico and The Philadephia Inquirer.
Once a Democratic contender for statewide office who competed in primaries for Governor and U.S. Senate, Andrews's career has apparently been derailed by an ethics investigation into the misuse of campaign funds. He is taking a job with a Philadelphia law firm, according to The Inquirer.
The Inquirer, majority owned by South Jersey Democratic power broker George Norcross, is reporting that State Senator Donald Norcross, the boss's brother, will be the Democratic nominee for Andrew's seat in the House.

Do marketers dream of branded sheep?
People often e-mail me to point out that some scary-ass marketing technique I dreamt up for Syrup or Jennifer Government has actually come true. No matter how shameless, ludicrous, or extreme I get, some novelty-tie-wearing marketer eventually gets the same idea. Notable examples so far include Dunlop-Tire paying people to take its name and Dunkin' Donuts convincing people to tattoo its logo on their foreheads. The latter is really something; follow the link for a pic of grinning, tattooed college students. I want to call them corporate prostitutes, but not all of them were paid: some apparently got tattoos just for the sheer joy of turning their faces into billboards. Which raises the question: which is less moral, taking money from a corporation to rent your face, or letting them do it for free? It's a toughie.
Now I've got an e-mail from Nathan who says my Why Copyright is Doomed essay is coming true, too. Just in case you don't feel like digesting 1,800 words right now, the short version is that I think advertising is going to creep into novels. Not just in relatively subtle The Bulgari Connection ways, but big, bright, honking, dancing, in-your-face-just-the-way-you-don't-like-it ways. Real advertising.
And here it is. Matthew Reilly, a fellow Aussie, has a new novel out next week, Hover Car Racer. And it's to be published on the web alongside ads for United Pictures films and Canon products.
I've met Matt a few times. He's a terrific guy, even though his books sell better than mine. If you like big blockbuster action novels, he's your man, and if Ice Station in particular never makes it to the screen, it's a crime. I don't blame him for letting ads snuggle up to his fiction. I think it's inevitable; eventually, all novels will be like this. But can't help but cringe. I wish I could have stayed ahead of the marketers a little longer this time.

Netflix's "Gilmore Girls" reboot officially has a name.
The new show, which will debut in four 90-minute installments, will be called "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life."
Star Lauren Graham made the announcement while appearing on "Ellen," telling host Ellen DeGeneres, "I feel so lucky to get to do it, but it's also been so bizarre because we're across the street from you. The set is the same, but we're in a different place. It's like it was yesterday, but it wasn't."
U.S. & World
"I'm here to tell you the title," Graham revealed. "I can tell you the title for the first time, there are four 90-minute episodes: Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, so it's called 'Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life.'"
Gilmore Girls Revival Wraps Filming: Celebrate With a Luke and Lorelai Selfie
The revival was officially announced in January (after months of speculation), when Netflix and creator Amy Sherman-Palladino revealed that Graham, TV daughter Alexis Bledel, TV mom Kelly Bishop and TV true love Scott Patterson had all signed on for the then-untitled project.
In the ensuing months, we've learned that Melissa McCarthy is definitely coming back (after all of that shade and back-and-forth, Sookie St. James is returning!), pretty much every other Stars Hollow resident you loved is also coming back, and newbies joining the cast include Sutton Foster and Graham's other TV daughter, Mae Whitman (Bravermans forever!).
When E! News spoke to Yanic Truesdale, the Dragonfly Inn's resident grumpy concierge Michel, he said that returning to Stars Hollow — aka the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank — was a little odd at first.
"There's a very strange feeling to it. It's like going back to a house that you grew up in," he revealed. "It's exciting because you have another shot at something that was very meaningful and had impacted a lot of people. It's exciting to have something new to give to the fans!"

Faronics Support for Windows XP Systems
Posted by Adam Zilliax, Last modified by Adam Zilliax on 31 March 2017 02:02 PM
What's all the fuss about?
After a 12 year run, Microsoft is discontinuing support for Windows XP, and this has a lot of people worried since Windows XP is still a widely deployed operating system in many places, and after April 8th support for security updates will no longer be supplied to address new security vulnerabilities as they are discovered. This has a number of customers concerned as they still have a number of Windows XP machines deployed and are not able to fully move everything over to an updated operating system before support ends on April 8th, 2014.
Staying Protected: Can Deep Freeze help?
While in a perfect world we would all be able to migrate to a new operating system as soon as possible, there are a number of situations where this may not be possible. Be it an old hardware that won't support a more recent operating system, an application that can't be made to run properly on an updated version of Windows, or just the sheer number of machines – there are reasons where XP may still be sticking around past it's end of support. Customers are understandably concerned about this and have been asking us if we can help.
The good news is that there are no plans to stop supporting Windows XP in Deep Freeze or our other products so if you are using any of our products on Windows XP we are going to continue to support you for as long as we can.
However, just running Deep Freeze may not be enough to be able to protect a machine against new threats as they emerge. As Deep Freeze is non restrictive, there is a chance that something could infect a protected machine and hang out until the machine was rebooted – depending on the threat this could be a small problem, or a huge one – there's really no way to know. Adding in additional products like Anti-Executable to prevent new malware from running, and having an antivirus package that supports XP and is kept up to date will help, but at the end of the day the question is not if you will update from Windows XP, it's when.
If you are not quite finished, give us a shout and we can help buy you the time to finish off your migration plans, and when you are upgraded you can still enjoy the security of the latest version of Windows, and that added safety of our software.

In the May issue, we covered the first stage in implementing an energy-efficient cooling water program—minimizing "parasitic" heat gains. The second stage in the cooling-water program is to increase the flow temperatures to the maximum possible. This will minimize the cooling loads and reduce costs. While this may seem obvious, many plants are using water temperatures that are far lower than actually needed because they have never questioned the temperature settings.
Process cooling is a major energy user in injection molding, and many processors use a split system as shown in the first illustration. This type of system consists of two main components:
Featured Content
1) Chilled water for mold cooling and temperature control. This is generally operated with a flow temperature in the region of 40 to 60 F and uses chillers. This chilled water needs to be well controlled because variations in the flow temperature will affect both productivity and the product dimensions.
2) Cooling water for machine hydraulics. This is generally provided by cooling towers operating in the region of 60 to 80 F. Machine cooling is generally non-critical—i.e., as long as the hydraulic oil is not allowed to get too hot (over about 95 to 105 F) then most machines will operate perfectly happily. If the hydraulic oil becomes too hot, then oil degradation will take place and the upper heating limit is effectively set by the temperature at which this occurs. While the exact temperature of the oil is not critical, it is desirable to have a stable temperature to provide consistent machine operation.
This type of split system is very energy efficient and provides control where it is needed and the required temperature where it is needed. In sum: Split systems enable processors to use the chilled and cooled water systems to their best advantage. (Other processes, such as extrusion, use different temperatures for process control but the basic principles remain the same.)
Many plants use chilled-water temperatures that are far lower than are actually needed by the process. This has a direct effect on the cost of chilled water. Every 1º F temperature rise in the chiller flow temperature will reduce the energy required for cooling by about 2%, and overcooling is often a large factor in excessive energy use. If the chilled-water flow temperature is set at 50 F and can be raised to 60 F, this will reduce chiller costs by about 20%. In many cases this temperature increase can be achieved with little effect on the process, but with substantial reductions in energy costs.
Even a small injection molding plant will need at least 60kW of input cooling power. For a 24/7 operation at an energy cost of 10¢/kWh, this will cost around $50,000/yr to operate. A 20% saving is therefore about $10,000/yr. A project to increase chiller setpoints would cost about $6000 for the necessary tests, and at small plants this project would have a payback of about seven months.
At larger sites, the payback will be very similar but the project cost will be more.Where multiple chillers are used, it is common to find that they have different setpoints. In this case, the first remedial action is to get the chilled-water temperatures consistent across the plant.
As a first step, choose the highest reliable temperature setting and synchronize all other settings with this. Then raise the setpoint on all the chillers by 1° F and note the results in production.
Check for any problems with machines or processes. Investigate and solve the problems. Wait a week and then increase the setpoint by 1°F on all the chillers again. Increase setpoints yet again until a uniform setpoint of at least 60 F is reached or the setting is maximized for your production.
•Tip: Be careful of using uncalibrated thermometers when setting chilled-water temperatures. The setpoint on the chiller display may not be accurate, and in-line dial thermometers should be treated with care.
•Tip: Excessively low setpoints will increase problems such as "mold sweating" (condensation on the cold mold) during summer.
•Tip: Deliver water at the highest possible temperature for the process. If small users need lower temperatures then consider a separate stand-alone chiller system, provided it is not too big.
•Tip: In most cases, the production staff will campaign for lower chilled-water temperatures, in the belief that they can provide shorter cycle times and faster production. Challenge this wisdom by increasing the temperatures and seeing if they actually notice the difference.
•Tip: Increasing the chilled-water flow temperature increases the possibility of using air-blast cooling as precooling (or as full cooling in cold weather). The benefits of air-blast cooling will be covered in a later article.
Some processors use a single-line system instead of a split system, meaning that they use chilled water for cooling machine hydraulics. This can be effective if the chilled-water flow to the hydraulics is adequately controlled by a thermostatic valve, i.e. it only operates to keep the hydraulics at around 80 F and not at the flow temperature of the chilled water.
If the chilled-water flow is uncontrolled, then this is a very expensive method of providing machine cooling and the operating costs of the chillers will soon (<1.5 yr) exceed the capital cost of installing the piping for a second machine cooling system.
Keep in mind: Using chilled water for hydraulic systems cooling is expensive compared with cooling towers or air-blast cooling.
Increasing cooling-water flow temperatures will generally have only a minor benefit, as cooling water (unlike chilled water) is commonly provided by low-cost methods such as cooling towers or air-blast cooling. Nonetheless, raising the flow temperature can reduce tower fan operation and trim costs marginally.
The most important aspect of a cooling tower is to improve the water-temperature control. Cooling towers are designed to achieve a specific amount of cooling at a design dry bulb/wet bulb temperature, but for most of the year the ambient temperatures will be below this.
If temperature controls are not used, the system may deliver water at a variable temperature and this can affect process control and process stability.
•Tip: When tower water is used for cooling a chiller or compressor, the temperature should be as low as possible to improve the efficiency of the chiller or compressor.
Measuring the Magic Of Turbulent-Flow Mold Cooling
For decades molding experts have talked about the importance of achieving turbulent flow in mold-cooling circuits. But what is it about turbulence that makes it so important? What can be measured and demonstrated to have some tangible value to molders? Several months ago, the author's firm began looking for answers.
Hot/Cold Injection Molding: Which Approach Is Best for You?
The hot-and-cold molding process gives molders a new tool to achieve top-quality esthetics or to fill challenging thin-wall parts. There are a number of options in heating methods, and this article discusses the ins and outs of each.

File, Operating System, and Related Packages
The standard library provides many packages to support file and directory handling and interaction with the operating system. In many cases, these packages provide operating-system-neutral abstractions that make it simple to create cross-platform Go applications.
os (operating system) package provides functions for operating-system interactions, such as changing the current working directory, changing file mode and ownership, getting and setting environment variables, and creating and removing files and directories.
In addition, this package provides functions for creating and opening files (
os.Create() and
os.Open()), and for retrieving file attributes (for example, via the
os.FileInfo type), some of which we have seen in earlier installments of this series.
Once a file is opened, especially in the case of text files, it is very common to want to access it via a buffer (to read lines as strings rather than as byte slices). The functionality we need is provided by the
bufio package. In addition to using
bufio.Readers and
bufio.Writers for reading and writing strings, we can also read (and unread) runes, read (and unread) single bytes, read multiple bytes, as well as write runes and single or multiple bytes.
io (input/output) package provides a large number of functions for working with
io.Readers and
io.Writers. (Both of these interfaces are satisfied by
*os.File values.) For example, we have used the
io.Copy() function to copy data from a reader to a writer. This package also contains functions for creating synchronous in-memory pipes.
io/ioutil package provides a few high-level convenience functions. Among others, the package provides the
ioutil.ReadAll() function that reads all of an
io.Reader's data and returns it as a
[]byte; the
ioutil.ReadFile() function, which does the same but accepts a string argument (the filename) rather than an
io.Reader; the
ioutil.TempFile() function, which returns a temporary file (an
*os.File); and the
ioutil.WriteFile() function, which writes a
[]byte to a file whose name it is given.
path package has functions for manipulating UNIX-style paths such as Linux and Mac OS X paths, URL paths, git "references," FTP files, and so on. The
path/filepath package provides the same functions as path and many others and is designed to provide platform-neutral path handling. This package also provides the
filepath.Walk() function for recursively iterating over all the files and directories in a given path.
runtime package contains many functions and types that give access to Go's runtime system. Most of these are advanced and should not be needed when creating standard maintainable Go programs. However, a couple of the package's constants can be useful for example,
runtime.GOOS, which holds a string (for example, "darwin," "freebsd," "linux," or "windows"), and
runtime.GOARCH, which also holds a string (for example, "386," "amd64," or "arm"). The
runtime.GOROOT() function returns the
GOROOT environment variable's value (or the Go build's
root if the environment variable isn't set), and the
runtime.Version() function returns the Go version (as a string). The
runtime.GOMAXPROCS() and
runtime.NumCPU() functions ensure that Go uses all the machine's processors and are explained in the Go documentation.
File Format-Related Packages
Go's excellent support for file handling applies both to text files (using the 7-bit ASCII encoding or the UTF-8 and UTF-16 Unicode encodings), and to binary files. Go provides specific packages for handling JSON and XML files, as well as its own very fast, compact, and convenient Go binary format. In addition, Go has a
csv package for reading CSV (comma-separated values) files. This package treats such files as records (one per line), each of which consists of (comma-separated) fields. The package is quite versatile for example, it is possible to change the delimiter (from a comma to a tab or other character), as well as other aspects of how it reads and writes records and fields.
encoding package contains several packages, one of which,
encoding/binary, we have already used for reading and writing binary data. The other packages provide encoding and decoding for various other formats for example, the
encoding/base64 package can be used to encode and decode URLs that often use this format.
Graphics-Related Packages
image package provides some high-level functions and types for creating and holding image data. It also has a number of packages that provide encoders and decoders for various standard graphics file formats, such as
image/jpeg and
image/draw package provides some basic drawing. The third-party
freetype package adds more functions for drawing. The
freetype package, itself, can draw text using any specified TrueType font, and the
freetype/raster package can draw lines and cubic and quadratic curves.
Mathematics Packages
math/big package provides unlimited (except by memory) size integers (
big.Int), and rationals (
math package provides all the standard mathematical functions (based on
float64s) and several standard constants. The
math/cmplx package provides some standard functions for complex numbers (based on
Miscellaneous Packages
In addition to the packages that can be roughly grouped together, the standard library contains a number of packages that stand more or less alone.
crypto package can provide hashes using the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 algorithms. (Support for each algorithm is supplied by a package, for example,
crypto/sha512.) In addition, the
crypto package has packages that provide encryption and decryption using a variety of algorithms, such as AES, DES, and so on, each in packages with corresponding names (for example,
crypto/aes and
exec package is used to run external programs. This can also be done using the
os.StartProcess() function, but the
exec.Cmd type is much more convenient to use.
flag package provides a command-line parser. It accepts X11-style options (for example,
-width, not GNU-style
-w, and
--width). The package produces a very basic usage message and does not provide any validation beyond a value's type. (So, the package can be used to specify an
int option, but not what values are acceptable.) Several alternatives are available from the Go Dashboard.
log package provides functions for logging information (by default to
os.Stdout), and for terminating the program or panicking with a log message. The
log package's output destination can be changed to any
io.Writer using the
log.SetOutput() function. Log messages are output in the form of a timestamp and then the message; the timestamp can be eliminated by calling
log.SetFlags(0) before the first
log function call. It is also possible to create custom loggers using the
log.New() function.
math/rand package provides many useful pseudo-random number generating functions including
rand.Int(), which returns a random
int, and
rand.Intn(n), which returns a random
int in the range
[0, n]. The
crypto/rand package has a function for producing cryptographically strong pseudo-random numbers. The
regexp package provides a very fast and powerful regular expression engine that supports the RE2 engine's syntax.
sort package provides convenience functions for sorting slices of
float64s, and
strings, and for performing fast (binary chop) searches on such sorted slices. It also provides generic
sort.Sort() and
sort.Search() functions that can be used for custom data.
time package has functions for measuring time and for parsing and formating date, date/time, and time values. The
time.After() function can be used to send the current time on the channel it returns after a specified number of nanoseconds have passed. The
time.Tick() and
time.NewTicker() functions can be used to provide a channel to which a "tick" is sent repeatedly at a specified interval. The
time.Time struct has methods for providing the current time, for formatting a date/time as a string, and for parsing date/times.
Networking Packages
The Go standard library has many packages that support networking and related programming. The
net package provides functions and types for communicating using UNIX domain and network sockets, TCP/IP, and UDP.
The package also provides functions for domain name resolution. The
net/http package makes use of the
net package and has functionality for parsing HTTP requests and replies, and provides a basic HTTP client. The
net/http package also includes an easy-to-extend HTTP server. The
net/url package provides URL parsing and query escaping.
Some other high-level networking packages are included in the standard library. One is the
net/rpc (Remote Procedure Call) package, which allows a server to provide objects whose exported methods can be called by clients. Another is the
net/smtp (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) package, which can be used to send email.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
If you are wondering if it is worth mining Ethereum you can get an idea on how much Ether (ETH) should be mined with a specific hashrate depending on what hardware you have available with a simple mining profitability calculator. All you have to enter is the hashrate you are getting (you can run ethminer in benchmark mode to see what hashrate to expect from your CPU or GPU if you have not yet started mining) and you will get information about the expected mined amount in ETH and USD. The calculator uses up to date data from etherchain's API to get fresh information about the Network Hashrate, average Blocktime and 1 ETH price, so it should be pretty accurate with the results at the moment of time you use it. The estimated coins to be mined and their USD value are shown for a period of 1 Minute, 1 Hour, 1 Day, 1 Week and 1 Month, though the longer the period is the less accurate the estimation could be.
So for example if we have a single AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU available that is capable of producing around 24 MHS worth of hashrate when mining Ethereum and we enter that value in the calculator we are going to get an estimation of about 4.5 ETH mined in a day or a bit over $5 USD. This is making mining Ether on the Ethereum network a pretty good and profitable crypto currency to mine at the moment if the estimates are true. If you want you can check our Quick Guide on How to Mine Ethereum on Windows to get things started. The Ethereum Mining Profitability Calculator is pretty simple and dubbed as alpha software, but it works well, the code is written in Python and the source code is also available for anyone interested.

As with the move list, the command list for your personal army is rather small. This is no RTS game. You can order them to move to a certain area, flank you, and put them to work in a few tasks such as moving huge rocks, rowing a boat, and turning a crank. Any interruption from an enemy will typically stop these guys in their tracks. They can also get in the way of your attacks when you enter in the more powerful Carnal Mode, which is the equivalent of an energy boost, but with some repercussions. The Carnal Mode actually attempts to address deeper issues discussed in the original poem. This mode makes Beowulf more powerful, but it also turns him into a beast which his army resents. Beowulf must choose to use this mode wisely as it will give him what he wants, but at the expense of his trusted allies.
Entering into a chant with the Thanes is a way of goading the enemy into a fight. These chants are in the form of a mini-game in which you must press the buttons in a rhythmical sequence. Here's where you'll experience the reason for the Mature rating as some of these chants are liberally sprinkled with blue language. It's quite funny actually, and adds some much-needed charm to the game. Another component of the Mature rating is the graphic depiction of violence. There is plenty of blood, guts, and severed limbs throughout. You do get used to it, as it becomes overkill after a while. There are only a handful of stock finishing moves which are repeated.
Weapons are consistent with the era. There are no guns or lasers. You'll use a variety of spears, hammers, and swords. Most of the slashing will be done with the swords, but like all weapons, they have a short shelf life. The more you use any particular weapon, the faster it will wear out and eventually become useless. This can be particularly disconcerting later in the game when you're up against enemies with armor. Weapons can fail in the middle of a battle. There are some magical weapons that are supposed to stand the test of time, but that time is also limited. You'll have to continually scavenge weapons from the enemy in order to carry on.
Graphically the game is inconsistent. There are some really nice scenes, but some of the darker areas don't display enough contrast between characters and background, making things difficult to see. The voiceacting is forced and there is plenty of repetitious dialogue. The soundtrack is really good, managing to convey a sense of another world in another time. Some camera angles make things difficult, but overall the game is mechanically sound as controls are responsive and easy to access.
Beowulf is recommended for a rental. You can blast through the game on the lower difficulty in less than day. You will notice the title says: Beowulf: The Game. That's to distinguish it from the ancient manuscript. I tend to think of it as a disclaimer, or quite possibly a warning.

When it comes to a certain type of Christmas wreath, Diane Walden admits she can be something of a grinch.
Walden, a horticulturist at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, teaches classes on wreath making, and would just as soon not see any more standard balsam wreaths decorated with plastic red ribbon and three — not two, not five, but three — pinecones.
"I tell people, really think outside of the box a little bit," Walden said. "How many times have you seen the wreaths with the red bows, and you have pinecone, pinecone, pinecone? There is so much stuff out there and available. Actually, online you can find a lot of stuff, whether you're shopping for a specific ribbon or you want to see what certain greens look like. Just think a little bit lusher."
People are busier than ever these days, but there appear to be more wreath-making classes than ever, most of them held well before Thanksgiving or during the first week of December. They always seem to sell out. But what if you didn't want to think about wreaths at the same time you're trying to decide how to season your turkey?
Miss out on a wreath-making class? Here's advice from a couple of experts about how you can do it yourself.
Walden says there's a lot of interest in wreath making these days because people are tired of buying decorations that look like they came from some overseas factory.
"It's sort of getting away from store-bought Christmas," she said. "You don't have to buy a whole bunch of blow-up Santas or plastic stuff that's made in China. Here in Maine we have beautiful lichen, we have moss, we have berries, we have beautiful balsam."
First things first. Here are the basics you'll need to make your own wreath:
• A prepared wreath ring that is crimped to hold the brush and keep it from flipping.
• A spool of wire. Wire that is 22- to 24-guage is best, and green wire will blend in better with the wreath.
• A good pair of clippers.
• Eight pounds of greens cut 6 to 8 inches in length. A 12-inch ring and 8 pounds of greenery will make a 22-inch finished wreath.
Wreaths are put together in smaller pieces called "hands." A hand is three to five pieces of greenery held together in a fan shape. Each hand gets tied to the frame, then flip the ring frame over and tie another hand onto the back. It's OK to do just one side of the frame, but your wreath will be fuller if there are greens on both sides.
After one hand is tied to the frame, move 2 to 3 inches down and tie the next one. And so on, until your wreath frame is full.
Don't worry too much about perfection, especially if it's your first time, says Russell Bleakney, who makes wreaths at O'Donal's Nurseries in Gorham.
"Even if you're not 100 percent happy with a wreath when you get finished," he said, "you can always cover a bad spot with a bow or put in a decoration, cones, whatever, to cover up some of the bare spots."
Those are the basics. Now, let's look at what you can do to, ahem, "spruce" things up a bit.
Consider using something other than a simple ring as a frame. Garden centers like O'Donal's and wreath-making companies (check out mainewreathco.com) sell forms shaped like stars, candy canes, crosses and even peace signs.
Mix up your greens and other vegetation, for both making the wreath itself and for decorating. Mixed greens add interest to all-balsam wreaths. Balsam fir is the classic choice, but you can also try a little Frasier fir, cedar, pine or juniper, says Bleakney. Go out in your own yard and tip plants that need pruning, like holly bushes.
"What I tell people to do when we do the classes is to go out and walk the yards and walk the power lines," he said. "There's a variety of stuff out there you can use — hydrangea blossoms and rosehips, the native holly, the little red berries you see, and crab apples, maybe."
Walden, who considers herself a "ditch diver," drives around with a bucket of water and some pruning shears, just in case she sees anything wreath-worthy in her travels.
Look for berried plants or plants that dry well that have interesting seed heads, Walden suggests. Hellebore leaf "looks wonderful" tucked into wreaths. Hemlock and white pine add soft textural notes.
Freshness is important. Don't buy greens that are dropping needles or look stiff and dried out. If you gather your own greens and want to keep them fresh, Walden says, the best way to make them last is to make sure you go out after there's been three nights in a row of below-freezing temperatures. Once you hang a wreath, buy a spray bottle and be sure to mist the wreath occasionally.
Don't worry if the greens and other plants you gather aren't perfect. Just spray a little antique gold or silver paint on them to make them look festive. (Red or green spray paint does not look as good, Walden advises.)
Next comes the decorating. Here are some tips from Walden:
• Instead of using a red ribbon, gather some ends of red twig dogwood and stick a bunch of them in the wreath in a continuous circle. Do a circle instead of the typical triumvirate of pinecones. Seashells work well too. "That's a completely different look that's really easy to do," Walden said, "and it just looks so fresh and different."
• Think of a theme. If someone on your list is a dog lover, pick up some Milk-Bones to attach to their wreath. Walden once made a wreath for her local animal shelter with assorted sizes of dog treats and catnip sprays. Add a check donation in an envelope tucked under the bow.
Got a music lover on your list? Buy a bunch of old 45s with red center labels and attach them all around the wreath. Or use CDs, and finish the wreath with a ribbon that has musical notes on it, musical instrument ornaments and tickets to the local symphony.
For a Christmas ornament collector, fill the wreath with ornaments and stick a Christmas card on it.
Get a hot glue gun and glue golf balls to a wreath for a golfer.
For kids, try making a cowboys-and-Indians wreath, or one with farm animals.
Do a "naughty or nice" theme. For a "naughty" wreath, add chunks of coal and a sheer, wide, black ribbon, silver balls, icicles and iced twig ornaments. For a "nice wreath," add dried flowers and roses.
If the wreath is going to someone from away, attach a good quality fake red lobster, and add some lobster and moose cookie cutters, a pine tree-shaped car air freshener (still in its wrap) and some old-timey postcards of Maine scenes.
• Go to a good ribbon store or browse ribbons online. Sometimes you'll come across one that reminds you of the person you're making the wreath for, and you can build the wreath around that. A rich chocolate-colored velvet ribbon with gold edging looks great with pheasant feathers and antique gold ball ornaments, Walden said.
• Victorian-themed online stores are good sources for dried flowers.
• Buy a bag of mixed nuts at the grocery store and make an all nut-and-pinecone wreath. Fill a wreath with Granny Smith apples or limes — yes, even limes. "You can attach bright green limes to a wreath and put a big red bow on it, and it will look fantastic." Walden said.
• Buy a box of cheap ball ornaments in two or three different colors and add them to your wreaths. Or go through your own ornaments and pick out the ones you no longer want to use on your tree. Instead of throwing them away, put them on a wreath.
• String some fresh cranberries and wrap them around your wreath.

As regular readers of this blog know, I find myself occasionally embroiled in discussions of how those of us working on climate change might best engage the media and the public. It happened in the earliest days of this blog, and again more recently – and my thoughts on this have turned up on Dot Earth at the New York Times site here and here (h/t to Andrew Revkin). In the end, I think we need to be very open and transparent in what we do, but we need to engage people who work on messaging as professionals – scientists are generally poorly trained in this area, and our universities are mired in the idea that press releases will be sufficient for disseminating important ideas to the public or the policy community (see a good post on this at Marc Bellemare's blog).
So, I was mortified today when I saw that Tom Paulson, a journalist in Seattle, was more or less denied permission to ask a question of a panel at the Pacific Health Summit . . . even when he was willing to follow Chatham House Rules (where comments made in a session are not for external attribution unless the speaker explicitly gives permission – it allows people to speak more freely, and resolve/address difficult issues more directly). It is one thing to protect people talking about a sensitive issue (in this case, vaccinations) so they can speak freely at an event aimed at specialists, but entirely another to actively prevent the press from asking questions, even when panelists are free to refuse to answer, or to answer as they please, without fear of identification. This does nothing to enhance the dialogue within the sessions, nor does it help to foster productive relations with the media.
Now, I was not at the event, and Paulson notes that there were prohibitions against the press asking questions at the event, so to some extent he walked into this one . . . but that does not absolve the organizers of this Summit of blame. The rules themselves make little sense, unless there is such remarkable mistrust of the media in this community (and I speak from a pretty media-averse community these days) that the organizers felt nobody could be trusted.
This is not a press/media relations plan designed by professionals. We in the scientific and academic communities need to get over ourselves – our data is not truth/justification/validation to anyone but us. To most of the rest of the world, our findings are just different viewpoints to be considered. I'm not saying this is how it should be . . . but this is how the world works. We can sit around and demand that everyone understand us on our terms, but we've seen how that has played out for climate science, for those who argue against the "vaccines are dangerous" crowd, etc. (For those unclear on this, it has played out very, very poorly). This strikes me as completely pointless, and forever doomed to failure. My life is too short for pointless – I'm a pragmatist. This is yet another screaming argument for the need to engage the professional messaging community. It doesn't ruin science to engage – it will make what we do a lot more effective.

A2Z brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 24 Designs von 5 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Are you a music fan? Do you want to play a crucial role in the innovation of a new music website that is already visited by thousands and will soon be seen by thousands more? If you answered yes to these two questions this project is for you!
View wireframe here: http://www.100bestrapsongs.com/inte…frames.jpg
Please do not confine your design to the current blog structure of the existing website. The website will be rebuilt from scratch with new code. Your design can be completely new and innovative!
We are launching a new music aggregation website called 100bestrapsongs.com. The website will allow visitors to playback music similarly to these popular websites:
- TheSixtyOne.com
- HypeM.com
- Songza.com
- Flizy.comThe website will aggregate music from blogs and pull in blog headlines along with the music and allow for the playback of the music on the site.
The navigation will show best rap songs for "Today" "7 Day" and "Month" and then maintain an archive of the songs indefinitely.
The site will function most closely to that of TheSixtyOne.com however I am looking for a sleaker, sophisticated, urban design. Please stay away from the grunge/graffiti look.
- The design must be a sliceable PSD or Vector file and grouped as such!!
- A global header or footer media player (IE: TheSixtyOne.com and HypeM.com)
- Extremely simplified song navigation structure that sorts songs by "Today" "7 Day" "Month" and "Year". The navigation should also incorporate filtering by year. However, this obviously won't function until the website is over a year old. Think of this as changing the dial on the radio. It should be THAT simple.
- The design should plan for future banner ads
- Each playlist item will be an expandable/collapsable box. The design should show an expanded playlist item and a collapsed playlist item.
- Each playlist item should have a download link
- Each playlist item should have a voting function to vote up a song and to vote down a song
- Each playlist item should incorporate an image associated with a song along with associated blog headlines
- There should be 10 playlist items displayed by default with a button at the bottom to display "More" songs when clicked. Twitter's "more" button is a good example of this"
- There should be an email registration box with call to action in the sidebar
- The design should have a sophisticated urban feel
- I need a logo incorporated in the design. Here are a few good examples or urban clothing logos: http://www.karmaloop.com/ourbrands-men.asp
- I do not want a grunge or graffiti design but the design should still say urban! Think Sean John.
- I do not want the website to feel like a blog. This is not a blog this is a music player.
- I do not want an imitation website. Be innovative and take my wireframe to a new level that I would never think of.

beautiful courgette carbonara
Post: #1
Carbonara is a classic pasta sauce made with cream, bacon and Parmesan and is absolutely delicious. Try to buy the best ingredients you can, as that's what really helps to make this dish amazing. I'm using a flowering variety of thyme but normal thyme is fine to use. When it comes to the type of pasta, you can serve carbonara with spaghetti or linguine, but I've been told by Italian mammas (who I don't argue with!) that penne is the original, so that's what I'm using in this recipe. Before you start cooking, it's important to get yourself a very large pan, or use a high-sided roasting tray so you can give the pasta a good toss.
Put a large pan of salted water on to boil. Halve and then quarter any larger courgettes lengthways. Cut out and discard any fluffy middle bits, and slice the courgettes at an angle into pieces roughly the same size and shape as the penne. Smaller courgettes can simply be sliced finely. Your water will now be boiling, so add the penne to the pan and cook according to the packet instructions.
To make your creamy carbonara sauce, put the egg yolks into a bowl, add the cream and half the Parmesan, and mix together with a fork. Season lightly and put to one side.
Heat a very large frying pan (a 35cm one is a good start – every house should have one!), add a good splash of olive oil and fry the pancetta or bacon until dark brown and crisp. Add the courgette slices and 2 big pinches of black pepper, not just to season but to give it a bit of a kick. Sprinkle in the thyme leaves, give everything a stir, so the courgettes become coated with all the lovely bacon-flavoured oil, and fry until they start to turn lightly golden and have softened slightly.
It's very important to get this next bit right or your carbonara could end up ruined. You need to work quickly. When the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving a little of the cooking water. Immediately, toss the pasta in the pan with the courgettes, bacon and lovely flavours, then remove from the heat and add a ladleful of the reserved cooking water and your creamy sauce. Stir together quickly. (No more cooking now, otherwise you'll scramble the eggs.)
Get everyone around the table, ready to eat straight away. While you're tossing the pasta and sauce, sprinkle in the rest of the Parmesan and a little more of the cooking water if needed, to give you a silky and shiny sauce. Taste quickly for seasoning. If you've managed to get any courgette flowers, tear them over the top, then serve and eat immediately, as the sauce can become thick and stodgy if left too long.
