Healthier Grilled Sweet and Sour Tofu with Vegetables
This isn't your typical sweet and sour tofu, this is a healthier recipe. We lightened up the sauce and we know you will love this grilled sweet and sour tofu with vegetables!
This post is sponsored by EZ Tofu Press.
We are always looking for new ways to prepare our tofu and new foods to pair together. This combination is a winner. We are simply in love with the flavors that this easy tofu recipe presents.
All the fresh ingredients taste wonderful today, but for me it is the marinade that does the trick! I adore the fresh ginger in this sauce! This isn't your typical sweet and sour sauce!
What in the sweet and sour tofu marinade?
- Fresh ginger
- Coconut aminos
- Honey (agave if vegan)
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
What are coconut aminos?
In the past I've used a gluten-free soy sauce or a Bragg's Aminos for this type of recipe. Lately, I've been loving the flavor of coconut aminos. So what exactly is coconut aminos? So the sauce is actually made from the "sap" of coconut palms.
The sauce is them fermented and typically blended with some sea salt. It is said to have a sweeter taste than soy sauce (I agree) and much less sodium than soy sauce! For some reason, I held out a long time before trying it and now that I've tried it…I love it! It is my new go-to!
Benefits of ginger
It is said that ginger has possible health benefits that include reducing inflammation and nausea. Ginger can apparently help to stimulate saliva and bile products, which in turn helps to suppress gastric contractions as your food moves through your GI tract. It is also said that drinking a ginger team in the winter is a great way to keep warm. It promotes sweating and helps to warm the body from within!
Is Tofu Gluten-Free?
Typically tofu is gluten-free. It is usually made from pressed soy and doesn't have much added in there. However, you should always be cautious and read the labels of your food packages. Sometimes food is produced in the same facility as your allergen and even on the same equipment. But generally tofu is gluten-free. You just need to be concerned if you have a soy allergy.
Prep your Tofu
We used the EZ Tofu Press (affiliate ad link) for this recipe. As you know, we eat tofu quite often in our vegetarian household! Using a Tofu Press is a must when cooking with tofu! It helps to get all the excess liquid out to really enhance the overall flavor.
New reader? We would love to tell you more about why we LOVE our EZ Tofu Press!

Tips for Grilling Tofu
We've been working on all the perfect ways to grill tofu and we have developed a list of some tips that we think will help you too! After you have read the tips, if you want to learn more about grilling tofu, you can visit this post.
- Only grill extra firm tofu , non silken tofu. This type is most likely to hold its shape on the hot grill.
- Prep your tofu properly, and cut into thick slices. You must press the excess liquid out of your tofu before trying to cook it on the grill. If you skip this step you'll just end up with steamed tofu, and that's just not appetizing. Slicing it thick will ensure that the pieces are easy to handle on the grill.
- Oil Your Grill. Tofu does not have any of its own fat in it to keep it from sticking to the grates, so you'll need to apply oil to the grill just before you start cooking. Use your grill tongs to rub an oil soaked paper towel onto the grill grates a few times and you'll be ready to go.
- Cook Low and Slow. You might think that you need to put your tofu directly on the flames to get it to crisp up, but what it really takes is indirect heat for a longer amount of time. Once your grill is preheated, turn half of it to low. Put the tofu on the low half to cook.
Tofu: It is a texture thing
Honestly, tofu is a lot of texture and a little about the flavoring you add to it. You see you can change up the flavor easily because tofu is pretty much like a chameleon it absorbs the flavors around it. The texture however, takes a little bit to change.
If you know that you do not like softer tofu, you are welcome to grill the tofu longer to crisp it up. If you want it a little more crunchy on the outside but still tender on the inside, just let it grill a few minutes longer on each side. Our kiddos like the softer texture of the tofu, which is what this recipe features.
The grill
We are so excited to be using a new grill this summer. Our new Silverbac is from the Grilla Grills family! It is a wood pellet grill that provides you with the option to smoke your food or grill your food. I am in love with the size of this grill It has a huge surface for cooking! We have been playing and grilling up a storm this summer! It has been fun testing recipes and creating some new ones with our grill! If you are using a grill like this one, you will need to preheat the grill to 375 and grill your tofu 10 minutes on each side.
Other methods to cook your sweet and sour tofu recipe
There are so many ways to cook tofu…. You can bake tofu, you can put it in the air fryer, you can toss it under the broiler or fry it up in the skillet!
We even wrote a post a while back about cooking tofu, we included directions on the four ways to cook tofu!
Topping your sweet and sour tofu with vegetables
Diced green onions (the whites and greens) are a great way to top off this grilled tofu recipe! Love sesame seeds? Those are great as toppers too! You can use brown, black or white sesame seeds.
Meat eater?
If you are a meat eater or have one in your family, you could certainly use this recipe and adapt it to include chicken.
Think meal prep
I love this grilled sweet tofu because it is a double agent. It is perfect for dinner and perfect for lunches for the rest of the week. You can easily double the recipe if needed! It heats great! I love the sauce so much, that I usually make an extra batch. Be sure to shake the sauce if you store it separately.
Tofu recipe ideas:
Kid Friendly Tofu Bites (think crispy tofu!)
Just think…sweet and sour sauce, red bell pepper (or really any color of bell peppers) pineapple chunks! YUMMM You are just going to grill a few minutes on each side, over medium to medium high heat and you are going to love it! I promise, this sweet and sour tofu with pineapple is very good!
Even Gia The Dog gets in on the action. She made sure that no crumb was left behind, if I dropped any during food prep. She monitored the grill progress and also the photographing of this recipe. Really, she is here for you! 🙂
Vegan Sweet and Sour Tofu (How to make this)
Healthier Grilled Sweet and Sour Tofu with Vegetables
- 1/3 c coconut aminos
- 1/4 c honey
- 1 T fresh ginger diced thinly
- 1 block tofu pressed
- 1 bell pepper halved
- 1 c cherry tomatoes
- 2 c pineapples slices
- 1 red onion, small
- 2 c rice cooked
- cilantro for garnish
- Prepare sauce by combing coconut aminos, honey and fresh ginger. Set aside.
- Press and prepare your tofu, using the EZ Tofu Press. Press tofu for 15 minutes, turning the knob tighter every 4 minutes.
- Once tofu has been pressed cut into planks (see picture above).
- Preheat grill to 375 degrees F. Place cherry tomatoes on a skewer. Cut pineapple into half circles, bell pepper should be cut in half and seeds removed and red onion cut into chunks. Oil all ingredients. I use an oil spray just to coat them so they don't stick on the grill. Grill all ingredients for 10 minutes. Then fill ingredients and grill for another 10 minutes. (except tomatoes, grill for 8 minutes total).
- If you like your tofu firmer, cook an additional 4-8 minutes. Remove veggies and tofu. Divide those ingredients among 4 plates. Add rice to places and top with sauce.ENJOY!

Held in June 2018 in at the Tabard Inn in Washington, D.C., the second Schwarzman Scholars Alumni Seminar was a "deep dive" into foreign and national security policy in both the United States and China. Drawing from the breadth and depth of China and foreign policy expertise localized in Washington, the seminar began with a keynote conversation with John Podesta, and continued with lectures by Matt Sheehan as well as National Committee Directors Amy Celico and Robert Daly, among others. The agenda focused on both traditional and non-traditional security issues; topics of discussion included maritime disputes, U.S.-China military balance, the escalating trade war, technology, and soft power.
Alum Stephanie Burrell reflects on the seminar:
Washington, D.C., provided the backdrop for the second Schwarzman Scholars Alumni Seminar, a fitting location to discuss U.S.-China security relations. We heard from experts on a wide range of topics, including military strategy, climate change, and emerging technologies, which made for many interesting and heated discussions.
The academic exchanges and intense debates were offset with laughter and sharing of stories as old friends reunited, the ease of which highlighted the strong bonds between the scholars. In China, sports brought the scholars together so it was apt that we relaxed in the summer heat by kayaking on the Potomac River. Time spent with fellow scholars is always inspiring and I feel incredibly grateful for each friendship. It was amazing to hear how the time we spent in China has shaped each of our lives: some now work in China, some work on China-related topics in think tanks, and others are working to bring international companies to China.

Week #17 of Long-Term Maintenance
OK, after the head-banging song from yesterday on the site, I figured it might be a good idea to calm things down a bit. This song is calm. Way calm. As in, an hour of yoga and meditation and lavender candles---type of calm. It's the Boys' Choir version of "Christmas Canon"; I played the Amazing Female Singer Version (I doubt it is actually called that, but that's how *I* think of it!) the other day ….. this version makes me want to sit with my legs crossed and eyes closed and breathe deeply. I'm not exaggerating -- I can physically feel my blood pressure go down while I'm listening to it!
Someone asked in the guestbook, so let me clarify a bit: TSO (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) is the name of the group performing all of these songs. The three albums I am pulling the music off of are: The Lost Christmas Eve, The Christmas Attic, and Christmas Eve and Other Stories. They have another CD called Beethoven's Last Night that has the most amazing rendition of "Flight of the Bumblebee" on it, but that's for another journal entry, I suppose. I have to admit that I have been opening up Kendrie's site during the day and just letting the music play …. I hope you guys are enjoying the music as well.
Anyway, on to other things .....
Something sort of bizarre happened today and I'm wondering if any of you built-in-child-psychologists (ie, parents) out there can shed some light on it. In case you haven't been paying attention, or have perhaps been dwelling under a hard stone-like substance, let me share a little secret with you: "Kendrie is not really very much of a girly-girl"
What?!?!? Am I kidding??!? I know, I know, some of you are shocked. From day one, she has preferred blue jeans and t-shirts and ball-caps and hiking boots. And that's how she dresses most days. The kids got new school sweatshirts yesterday with the mascot on them and off she went this morning; sweatshirt, blue jeans, and hiking boots.
I was sitting in the cafeteria at the end of the day, where the car-rider kids (kids whose parents are too anal to let them ride the bus, like me!) show up. Kendrie came in like she does every day, walked right over to me like she does every day, and promptly started crying. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, in between tears, "One of the boys in the other room thought I was a boy!" and crawled up in my lap, crying all the while.
What the ??????
First of all, like that hasn't happened a bazillion times since this whole bald-thing-then-pixie-style-hairdo started? And doesn't she realize that she *dresses* like a boy? And *plays* like a boy? Why on earth did it matter to her today???
I mean, that's just bizarre.
Ideas, anyone?
That boy hurting my feelings although my mom sure has no idea what made this kid thinking I am a boy any different than any of the other dozens of people who have thought I was a boy all along.
It took seven days and a dozen games of phone-tag with the scheduling people, but my mom was finally able to re-schedule my next clinic appointment so I don't have to miss our local support group meeting. I know, that's really more a good thing for my mom, but I know it made her happy.

Value of an asset: Why Basin Electric will continue to operate Dakota Gasification Company
Spend a bit of time thinking about your hardest business decision.
Was it always clear it was the right thing to do? What about the moments you questioned yourself, or outside forces made the decision seem foolish? Did you stick it out? Has it paid off?
The nature of the business surrounding Dakota Gasification Company's Great Plains Synfuels Plant is based on commodity prices. The price of oil and natural gas, the prices that crops are selling for, the price of fertilizer and, though less so, the price of other products like carbon dioxide.
When commodity prices were higher, profits meant Basin Electric was able to return a lot of money to its members. The Great Plains Synfuels Plant has served as a $1.4 billion benefit to its members since 1988, and continues to provide benefits.
However, the most recent 10-year financial forecast shows losses every year.
Basin Electric directors and senior staff have decided the cooperative needs to hang steady with Dakota Gasification Company while maintaining its focus on strategic cost management and continuing to look at other options.
The decision was explained to Basin Electric members during a Members Strategic Direction Meeting in November.
"We wanted to be able to have an open dialogue with our members, where they could ask specific questions we just can't answer in an open meeting," says Paul Sukut, Basin Electric CEO and general manager. "We were pleased with how that meeting turned out. It was very well attended, and we took as much time as everyone needed to get questions answered. There is still work to do on this, but I know by going to our cooperative roots, using the business model's best attributes of transparency and democracy, we are making the best decisions we can."
Here is a high-level look at why this decision makes sense for Basin Electric's members.
History of the purchase
Basin Electric bought the Great Plains Synfuels Plant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as a way to salvage the synergies that had been built between the Synfuels Plant and Antelope Valley Station. The DOE had acquired the plant after the original owners failed.
"At the time the DOE announced its intent to close the plant, Basin Electric was under a great deal of financial stress," says Mark Foss, Basin Electric senior vice president and general counsel. "The load growth the cooperative had forecasted was not materializing, and Basin Electric had about 2,000 megawatts (MW) of generation. Our peak loads were only at 1,000 MW."
Basin Electric formed two subsidiaries to make the deal: Dakota Coal Company paid $69 million for the coal rights, Dakota Gas paid $16 million for the natural gas pipeline that reaches to the Northern Border Pipeline, and Basin Electric paid $0. As part of the deal, Basin Electric agreed to forgo production tax credits and go through with a profit-sharing agreement for 15 years.
Basin Electric had interest in keeping the plant operating for several reasons, including those related to member rates. The Synfuels Plant used about 90 MW of electricity when operating at full load. If the plant had closed down at that time, Basin Electric would have had to increase rates by 14 percent, Foss says.
From 1988-2014, Dakota Gas invested $845 million into the plant in capital improvements, all funded with self-generated cash, including the proceeds from a legal settlement concerning the gas pipeline, according to Foss.
Bottom line impacts
While the decision to buy the Synfuels Plant paid off initially, the benefits proved themselves year after year when commodity prices were high.
Of the $1.4 billion in benefit Dakota Gas has had to Basin Electric since 1988, $300 million has been through dividends and bill credits paid to members, and $1.1 billion is in synergies in operations between the various facilities, according to Susan Sorensen, Basin Electric vice president and treasurer.
Sorensen explains that the shared coal supply keeps costs down for other Basin Electric facilities. If the Synfuels Plant would be shut down, the cost of mining coal would need to be absorbed by other users. A shutdown of the Synfuels Plant would increase coal prices for Leland Olds Station and Antelope Valley Station, coal-based power plants near Stanton, ND, and Beulah, ND, respectively.
Also, because the Synfuels Plant shares water and rail services with Antelope Valley Station, those benefits would be shifted over to the power plant.
"Dakota Gas currently pays about 30 percent of the overhead costs at Basin Electric Headquarters," Sorensen says. "That percentage that is already netted down when considering some costs, like a haul road or computer mainframe, cannot be reduced by selling the asset."
The Synfuels Plant uses a large amount of electricity, which supports Basin Electric's margins. Also, the Freedom Mine, which supplies coal to the North Dakota facilities, is a large electricity consumer of Roughrider Electric Cooperative, a Basin Electric Class C member.
Rates and projects
The urea production facility at the Synfuels Plant has had financial challenges for some of the membership. The budget increased over the course of construction due to increases in quantity of materials and costs of labor required to build the facility. The project was further challenged by the quality and timeliness of engineering, and ultimately, staff released the general contractor for sustained poor performance. Once those issues were resolved, the project has consistently met its targets and is set to go into production by the end of January 2018.
Despite those struggles, recent rate increases can't be attributed to the construction project's budget.
"Basin Electric's average member rate went up through 2016 due to several factors," says Dave Raatz, senior vice president of Resource Planning. "Member growth was increasing across the entire membership, and we were building infrastructure to support that. Especially in the Bakken oil region of western North Dakota and eastern Montana, the growth meant Basin Electric was building generation and transmission to support the reliability of the transmission system."
The plant will produce 360,000 tons of urea each year. According to Ken Rutter, Basin Electric senior vice president of Marketing and Asset Management, there is 2.2 million tons of demand each year within a 200-mile radius of the plant.
Backing up the decision
While these factors may be enough on their own for Basin Electric to keep the Synfuels Plant operating, staff knows more action needs to be taken.
Through September 2017, Dakota Gas employees have been able to find ways to reduce expenses by $24.5 million.
Once the urea production facility is operating, the Synfuels Plant will need 160 MW of electricity, and is expected to run at a 93-percent capacity factor, according to Dave Sauer, Dakota Gas senior vice president and chief operating officer.
A creative tactic would change the way the power contract between Dakota Gas and Basin Electric is written. Currently, the Synfuels Plant pays a higher-than-market rate. Having the plant pay market rates wouldn't impact Basin Electric. Also, a plant write-down is being considered, which wouldn't affect operation of the plant.
Employees of Dakota Gas and Basin Electric continue to search for ways to reduce costs and operate the plant more efficiently. Normal staff attrition has helped reduce the workforce as employees leave due to retirement and other opportunities.
On the Basin Electric side, directors are looking at a revenue deferral plan, which would allow for financial flexibility for future instances like what is happening today. Staff is working to optimize the generation fleet, focus on market exposure, and work on a coal asset strategy.

Interesting article which asks some interesting questions which PR's can learn from.
Some people 'get' what you are trying to do and other's won't. The skill is creating an opportunity for a conversation to find out why they think they don't need your services or products on offer. Understanding why others see things so differently to you is a great starting point for many businesses.
Remember the curious affair of the blue and black dress? Or perhaps it was gold and white to you. For a few days last year the photograph of the dress that looked one colour to some and different to others was all people could talk about. Blue dress people wondered what the hell was wrong with gold dress people – who were in turn bemused that blue dress people just couldn't see it.

Like most collectors I enjoy surfing on eBay. Some time ago I started a page on my website where I mention eBay listings I find and like and think might interest Queendom Website's followers. To date I have posted mostly scissors. I have a true scissors fetish, no doubt at all.
A couple of days ago I found an unusually long list of America's noteworthy thimbles for sale. I haven't seen this many of the famous thimbles for sale for a long while, so I wrote on my website a feature about thimbles. I put them on my home page, I've now done 2 pages of thimble listings from eBay, and I've written a long long column of comments on the vagaries of thimble prices. It was like a stroll down memory lane for me, as I spent the better part of 3 years writing about American Silver Thimbles.
Back in the relative dark ages when I was writing American Silver Thimbles, I knew each one of the thimbles and could tell you who made it. Now? Well, I confess I remember a surprising number of them and who made them, but I don't remember how to spell the names any longer. I had to check my book to see how to spell one of the most noteworthy of the American thimble makers, Ketcham & McDougall. The spelling of their names aside, wow, what great thimbles they made!
If the thimbles now for sale on eBay don't encourage a thimble collecting fetish amongst my followers, I give up, can't be done.
Whether you want to collect thimbles or not, do take a few minutes to look at them and enjoy one of America's smallest art forms. www.GayAnnRogers.com
Enough chatting here about them. I will leave the details to my website, save for one last comment: will I indulge in one or two of the thimbles for sale? Most definitely! I bought my first one tonight. I thought it was a terrific buy and I will likely be back for a second one and perhaps a third. Which ones? Hmmm, let's see how the auction goes for now....
Fun and games in the thimble world, that's for sure.

We do not want to keep pushing our PCBA factory any far more. All factories in Shenzhen prefers quantity to hold their machine operating, so smaller orders will take higher setup charge and unnecessary lead time. It may possibly take only half day to assemble 100 pcs Bus Pirate but has to wait for 3-5 days for the bigger batch ends.
There are quite a few organizations that manufacture a assortment of unique kinds and designs of machines that execute essentially the same function. Several companies use strapping machines to safe their goods to transport pallets or crates as well as strapping several merchandise collectively on their own, such as piping and metal rods.
My ironrite came with a Users Manual, but not the Service Manual, and right after reading all the great discussion on this internet site, I recognize I must most likely modify the oil prior to carrying out substantially else. But I have no concept exactly where the plug is you are speaking about (to drain the oil) or where I put the oil as soon as it is drained.
Does any person know what a 48inch x 80inch muslin cover would have been created for. I obtained a quantity of these covers with the other ironrite parts and accessories I got. It doesn't say ironrite but it does say IRONER COVER 48×80. It has the draw strings and is the similar material as the ironrite covers. I was wondering if they made a extremely wide model that I was not familiar with. Thanks.
Solder paste must be applied to the solder pads of the board prior to operating the machine. We utilized a laser reduce vinyl sticker as a mask with holes cut more than the solder pads. Then, with the mask on the board, solder paste can be squeegeed" onto the solder pads. Removing the mask reveals neatly solder pasted pads that enable the components to keep in location throughout Pick and Spot operation. Although in some locations the squeegeed paste may possibly appear to run the risk of bridging adjacent contacts, we discovered that in practice that the paste tends to reflow onto separate pads, with short circuits occurring incredibly infrequently.

Headaches in pregnancy
A common symptom of early pregnancy, headaches can be draining and frustrating.
Find out more about why we suffer from headaches during pregnancy, what causes them and when to seek medical help.
What causes headaches during pregnancy?
Headaches are very common in early pregnancy due to an increase in hormones. A change in blood pressure can also lead to tension headaches when pregnant.
Women who suffered from headaches or migraines before falling pregnant may find their headaches get worse and for others, they improve throughout pregnancy.
Caffeine withdrawal, lack of fresh air, dehydration and stress can all contribute to headaches throughout pregnancy.
How long will they last?
Pregnancy headaches are prominent in the first trimester but for most will improve or even disappear by the second trimester as your hormones start to settle.
Severe headaches or migraines can last between four and 72 hours at any one time without treatment and can bring a whole host of symptoms along with the headache. Sufferers may experience speech disruption, visual impairment and pins and needles.
When to seek help
Your doctor can advise you on pain relief options safe for pregnancy. Severe headaches or migraines can indicate high blood pressure which can suggest complications such as pre-eclampsia. Should you suffer from severe or frequent headaches, contact your doctor immediately.
For more information on the treatment of headaches during pregnancy see how to relieve headaches during pregnancy. If you are at all concerned do not hesitate to call your GP or doctor for medical advice.

Supernovae are popping up everywhere! Two stars flamed out millions of years ago and at least one is an easy catch right now in amateur telescopes.
Type Ia Supernova 2016coj in NGC 4125 is now bright enough to see in amateur telescopes. You'll find it 11.7″ NE of the galaxy's nucleus. NGC 4125 lies about 72 million light-years from Earth.
William Wiethoff
Recent years have seen a blizzard of new supernovae discoveries from dedicated robotic searches by both amateurs and professionals. If you have any doubt, David Bishop's excellent Bright Supernova site lists 3,471 reported in 2015. Already this year, we're up to 2,910!
Sorting through them to find visual candidates takes more time that it used to, but I'm not complaining. Among the ubiquitous 18th- and 19th-magnitude candidates there are always a few bright enough to spot in an 8-inch or larger telescope. On May 28th, two new exploding stars were discovered, SN 2016coj in NGC 4125 (a 10th-magnitude elliptical galaxy in Draco) and SN 2016cok in the bright spiral M66 in Leo, by the automated Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS).
SN 2016coj's initial brightness of ~15.5 magnitude didn't immediately shout "Hey, look at me!" But in recent days, the Type Ia supernova brightened steadily to its present magnitude of 13.6, making it fair game for 10-inch and even 8-inch telescopes.
Several nights back, I took a look at the host galaxy in my 15-inch (37-cm) reflector. Its location near a 6th-magnitude star a short distance north of the Big Dipper's bucket made the finding easy. When I used 142×, the supernova presented itself almost immediately as a "second nucleus" about 11.7″ northeast of the true nucleus, a tiny kernel of light buried in the galaxy's core. When the seeing steadied, the supernova stood out crisply, a sharp point compared to the slightly fuzzy galactic nucleus. Here before me eyes was the end of a life, a white dwarf blown to bits in a tremendously powerful explosion brought on by ... weight gain.
After feasting on its close companion star's atmospheric gases, the Earth-sized star accumulated enough material on its surface to exceed the Chandrasekhar Limit of 1.4 solar masses and undergo rapid gravitational collapse. Dire consequences followed as a runaway fusion reaction from the crushing heat and pressure raced through the star, destroying it in one titanic blast.
Since then, SN 2016coj has continued to brighten and should be an even easier target by the time you read this. Meanwhile, SN 2016cok in the familiar galaxy M66 in Leo has taken another path.
Supernova 2016cok (beween the tick marks) was discovered in the bright, nearby galaxy M66 in Leo on May 28th, the same day as SN 2016coj was discovered. Unlike the latter, SN 2016cok's brightness has remained nearly constant at about magnitude +16.5. The new object is located 61″ east and 34″ south of the galaxy's nucleus in an outer spiral arm. East is up and north at right.
Gianluca Masi
Ordinarily, the words "supernova" and "M66" heard in the same sentence would make a deep-sky hunter's blood pressure spike. It was here in February 1989 SN 1989B peaked at 12th magnitude, within range of even a 4-inch. Given the galaxy's relative proximity to Earth of 36 million light-years, any supernovae there have the potential to become bright, but this one has so far remained faint.
Discovered by Ohio State's All-Sky Survey Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) at magnitude +16.6, SN 2016cok hasn't gotten any brighter than +16.4 as of June 4th.
It may still be on the rise, though. According to a recent notification from The Astronomer's Telegram, the supernova's spectrum indicates it was caught a few days before maximum.
While a perfect target for astrophotographers, the star presents a tough visual challenge at the moment. Maybe a 24-incher can pry this one loose, but until it cracks magnitude +15.5, I'll be sitting on the sidelines watching with interest.
SN 2016cok is a Type IIp supernova involving the collapse and explosion of an evolved supergiant star. But instead of fading at the regular rate, the IIp variety slows or "plateaus" (hence the p) for many days before resuming its normal decline in brightness. Has the supernova already plateaued or does a "brighter future" lie ahead?
This dual map will help you find the 9th-magnitude spiral galaxy M66 and SN 2016cok located midway between the naked-eye stars Theta (θ) and Iota (ι) Leonis. The left half shows a wide view, the right half is zoomed in. Stars at right shown to magnitude +7.5.
Bob King, Source: Stellarium
You can keep track of the progress of both supernovae at the Bright Supernova site. Click and search for "M66" or "NGC 4125" or go out the next clear night and have a look for yourself. When it comes to stellar explosions, M66 is a real champ with five recorded supernovae to its name since 1973.
Use the bowl of the Big Dipper to navigate to NGC 4125 and its bright supernova. Stars shown to magnitude +7.5.
Bob King, Source: Stellarium
I wish you much success in your supernovae hunt. As you slowly twist the focusing knob to bring SN 2016coj into sharp focus, consider that this pinprick of light shines some five billion times brighter than the Sun while material within the expanding debris cloud rushes outward at 9,500 miles per second (15,300 km/s). How fortunate that you and I just happened to be around to see it 72 million years later.

Editorial, The Business Journal
With the surfeit of role models who have exhibited less than exemplary behavior, we are heartened by the promise shown by a new generation of politicians.
We cite initiatives launched over the past couple of weeks, one by Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams, another by U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Niles.
Williams, the youngest man elected mayor Youngstown, led a coalition of agencies in announcing an initiative aimed at helping young people stay on the straight and narrow this summer and have fun doing so.
"The idea is to fill the summer with opportunities for young people to engage in productive activities," the mayor says. Young people must understand and appreciate that criminal activity has consequences, a point underscored by last month's sweep of suspected gang members. "We also think it's extremely important to offer them a productive alternative," he adds.
When Ryan ran for Congress in 2002, his critics taunted him for his youth and inexperience. The state senator in his first term got the last laugh by defeating a veteran congressman in the primary and a well-funded Republican opponent in November. Since his election, Ryan has directed his energy to moving the community to action, championing efforts to encourage the development and implementation of new technology.
The two-term congressman recently introduced legislation that would help communities such as Youngstown rid themselves of blighted, vacant properties. He is co-sponsor of a measure that would enable the federal government to match, dollar for dollar up to $500,000, what qualifying cities spend to raze abandoned houses and reclaim the properties.
"If the local government is willing to use its general revenue funds to do that, the federal government should partner with them," Ryan says, referring to Youngstown's allocating $1.2 million this year to demolish blighted housing.
We're also impressed with Ryan and Williams' frequent joint visits to city schools (which Ryan acknowledges inspired his urban demolition legislation).
Many students in these schools may be used to seeing political positions filled by white men at least as old as their fathers and the often their grandfathers. While more blacks and women are being elected public office and Congress, they still stand out because of their relative novelty. Only rarely can black youths in inner-city schools identify with them or imagine following in their footsteps.
Maybe Ryan and Williams and other young leaders can spark the students' imaginations and fuel their aspirations to one day become mayor or a member of the House o Representatives. The only barriers they should encounter should be the extent of their abilities, not race or economic class.
Young people in our community can only benefit form the examples Williams and Ryan are setting.

Comic Review – World's Finest #19
Okay, you guys.
I have really high hopes going into this issue.
Let's just jump right in.
PG is deep in the waters off the coast of Namibia, mining the ocean floor for diamonds and antagonizing local animal life. As she flings an overly familiar giant squid out of the water and over a fishing boat full of awfully light-skinned folks, she muses that she can sell the diamonds to get some quick cash.
She shoots out of the water when she's collecting a few thousand karats, giving the fishermen a pretty good look at her as she goes.
The next scene is New York, where, Karen and Helena are discussing their legal troubles over breakfast in their hotel room, and Karen assures her that, if nothing else, at least her powers aren't still on the fritz!
She plans to fly Hel around the park, but, of course, her powers decide to take that moment to cut out on her, sending both of them, now powerless, crashing to the ground through tree limbs and shit.
Naturally, they both survive unscathed, aside from some testy remarks by Helena. In the next shot, Karen is having a board meeting and getting cheesed off. This sets off her heat vision, setting fire to random shit but, luckily again, not injuring or killing anybody.
While Karen's face explodes all over her company, Helena thinks that she'll have to take her friend's well-being into her own hands and go to her not-dad for help.
Karen, meanwhile, realizes that shit is not getting any better, and we can infer that she's resigned herself to asking Superman for help.
Helena creeps around stately Wayne Manor, thinking about the best way to get in to talk to her pseudo-pops. She resigns herself to going in through the Batcave.
Batman, meanwhile, is being a creepster and stalking her right back, even making it easier on her to break in.
Helena scopes out the cave, finding it different than her home, and remembering the difference in age between her dad and this Batman, calling him a near Rookie. He sneaks up on her, y'know, like ya do, and she trains her crossbow on him, because of reasons. She immediately lowers it, apologizing for the break-in, saying that she needs his help. He promptly traps her in some kind of scifi light-construct cage thing, demanding answers, and she very calmly responds…
Sooo… Between giant squids, board meetings, and croissants… THIS ISSUE WAS ANOTHER FILLER ISSUE.
I guess, if I want to see anything interesting happen in this comic, I have to buy Batman/Superman, too!
Which means that nothing interesting is still happening in this actual fucking comic book series.
I feel like I'm being trolled by DC Comics.
See you all in another series…

To mark the 30th anniversary of its groundbreaking 'Just Do It' ad campaign, the Nike corporation recently announced a new campaign featuring former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, unarguably one of the most polarizing figures in America today, with the slogan: "Believe in something.

Ex-Mich. trooper to be retried in ATV death next spring
The former Michigan State Police trooper charged in the death of a teenage ATV rider who crashed into a parked truck seconds after being Tased will go back on trial April 1.
The first trial for Mark Bessner, accused of causing the 2017 crash that killed 15-year-old Damon Grimes, ended last week in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked on charges of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.
Wayne County Judge Margaret Van Houten on Wednesday set March 8 as the deadline for all motions and other pretrial offers and issues surrounding the case.
Bessner's bond of $1 million and 24-hour tether were continued. The judge has allowed him to seek employment between the hours of 7 a.m.-6 p.m.
Grimes was driving an ATV when Bessner and his partner gave chase in the area of Rossini and Gratiot around 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 26 last year when Bessner Tased the teen. Seconds later Grimes, crashed into a parked pickup on Rossini.
Bessner, 44, testified during his trial that he deployed his Taser because he believed his life and that of his partner, who refused to testify during the trial, was in danger. The former trooper also said he saw Grimes reaching his left hand toward his waistband.
Several witnesses testified before Bessner's testimony that they did not see Grimes' hands leave the handlebars of the ATV that day.
Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Matthew Penney said during his closing arguments there was no justification for the Taser to be deployed. He said the four witnesses who testified that they never saw Grimes' hands leave the ATV's handlebars had no motive to lie.
Penney said Bessner had no "reasonability" to use deadly force, saying he didn't yell "gun, gun, gun" on his mike to dispatchers.
"He doesn't say anything like 'I thought there was a gun' until the ambulance left," the prosecutor said.
The prosecutor said the only thing Grimes was guilty of was riding an ATV in the city, which is a nuisance violation.
"Penney asked jurors: "Where's the explanation? It's not there."
Defense attorney Richard Convertino told jurors during closing arguments that they must not view Bessner's actions with "20/20 hindsight." He said his client was forced to make a "split-second decision" in a tense, uncertain and "rapidly evolving" situation.
Convertino said Bessner "had no idea what was in the mind of Damon Grimes" or what the teen's intentions were that day during the chase when the teen allegedly sped past the troopers.
"You must consider the police officer's point of view ... perspective," said Convertino. "They're forced to make split second decision in circumstances that are tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving."

VMworld 2017: 'Digital Transformation Is Game On'
They didn't save the best for last, but VMware definitely made one of the biggest announcements of their four-day event on day two, unveiling a partnership between itself, Pivotal, and Google.
Pivotal Software, in collaboration with Google Cloud, revealed its new Pivotal Container Service, which enables enterprises and service providers to deliver production-ready Kubernetes on VMware vSphere and Google Cloud Platform. The new offering will be available in Q4 of this year. The product was put together to operationalize Kubernetes for the enterprise.
Before the announcement, VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger and Dell founder Michael Dell took the stage for a discussion on the state of the IT industry.
"This is one of the most exciting times in the history of human development," Dell exclaimed. "With digital transformation, it's game on."
Dell went on to say that the need for data and data analytics is now a CEO topic, and no longer resides as just an IT issue. Gelsinger doubled down on the topic, and the pace of tech overall, explaining that while artificial intelligence has been around for more than 30 years, businesses are at a point where machine learning and AI need to be integrated into every product.
The VMworld Showcase Village floor was abuzz throughout the day, offering everything from cloud to virtualization, IoT, and mobility.
Enterprise Mobility Exchange met with several solution providers throughout the day, diving into what exactly each one was doing to enhance end-user computing. Here are a few highlights:
Commvault: The data protection company explained how mobile protection is now inherently built-in to its offerings, and that the company's security is currently focused on ransomware protection and GDPR compliance. The company is utilizing machine learning to protect its data as well.
Cortado: The enterprise mobility management company announced its Cortado Cloud product this week, and told Enterprise Mobility Exchange it was looking to "augment the approach" to cloud services, hence its foray into the space. CEO Henning Volkmer said the company's focus is and will remain around the idea of enhanced mobile productivity.
Wandera: The fairly young mobile security company is making big strides in the threat detection space with its cross-platform solution which scans apps, device behavior, and assesses vulnerabilities like suspicious WiFi hotspots and communication with risky websites.
Tuesday certainly offered more traffic and movement on the event floor, while info sessions dove into technical discussions from VMware and its partners. To see how day one of the event went, click here.

Astros' Carlos Correa eager to take the big stage again
Whether in his first postseason as a 21-year-old rookie or the World Baseball Classic or on opening day, Carlos Correa seems to star most when the stage is greatest.
One can only predict what the Astros' 23-year-old All-Star shortstop has in store for his second go-round in the playoffs.
"I just take it like another game," he said Tuesday. "I'm hyped, and my energy is at another level, but once I get out there, I just try to have fun and do what I do every single day. I feel like the offseason is to get ready for the season and the postseason, and once you're there, you just let everything you've worked on throughout the whole time take over.
"That's pretty much what I do. I don't put extra pressure on myself because I'm hitting fourth on the team or because I play shortstop. I just go out there and try do what I've been doing my whole life."
As Astros manager A.J. Hinch puts it, Correa has "a calm heartbeat." Correa mashed three home runs for his native Puerto Rico in last spring's WBC and has homered in each of the two opening-day games he's played in his young career.
"He's not excitable, which is a compliment," Hinch said. "He'll be prepared. He loves the moment. He has a ton of confidence and plays with that swagger on the big stage.

FS1 games can be streamed by authenticated subscribers via the Fox Sports Go app.
David Barron
"When we go to New York, when we come to Boston, when we play on 'Sunday Night Baseball,' it's interesting to watch. His game face doesn't change. But he's elite. And elite performers, elite players do step up, and he did that his first year. He's been this way since the day that I saw him in spring training. It's not something I feel like's grown. I think he's had it since the first day that he stepped on the field."
Correa is coming off the best of his three regular seasons despite missing 42 games because of a torn ligament in his left thumb. The Astros' cleanup hitter batted .315 with a career-high 24 home runs, 25 doubles and 84 RBIs in 422 at-bats. By Wins Above Replacement, he was the AL West champs' second-most valuable player behind five-time All-Star second baseman and American League MVP candidate Jose Altuve.
More importantly, Correa found his rhythm at the plate at the opportune time for the Astros, who open their best-of-five American League Division Series against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday afternoon at Minute Maid Park. He was selected Monday as the AL Player of the Week after batting a scorching .520 with three home runs and four doubles in six games in Arlington and Boston.
"I'm not going to lie," he said. "I've felt really good the last week."
In his first postseason, at the end of his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2015, Correa batted .292 with two home runs in 25 plate appearances.
Both homers came in the Astros' fateful ALDS Game 4 collapse against the eventual World Series champion Kansas City Royals, a defeat in which Correa made a costly error on a Kendrys Morales grounder up the middle that deflected off the mound with the bases loaded in the decisive eighth inning.
"The thing I learned the most is every time the ball hits the mound, stay back. Don't go get it," Correa said. "It happened to me a couple of times this year, and I just stayed back and waited for it. And then when I got the different spin, I just grabbed it, touched the base and threw to first. I guess that play made me learn a lot. … I had to learn it at a young age and on a tough stage, because obviously, it was an important game. But at the end of the day, it made me a better player."
Correa said the player who will take the field later this week is "a different Carlos" than the 21-year-old version entering the 2015 playoffs.
"I think (I'm) a way better hitter, a way better player, way better all around mentally," he said. "A lot more prepared, more experience. I just feel good about this year."

What Are Seamless Gutters?
Just as they sound, a seamless gutter it a gutter that has no seams or breaks in the gutter. Traditional gutters consist of multiple separate sections of gutter that have been attached as one. A seamless gutter does not have breaks, making it one large piece of metal.
How Do The Differ From Traditional Gutters?
Seamless gutters were developed as a response to the fallacies of traditional gutters.Over time, a traditional gutter may break or rupture at one of it's joints, resulting in a leak. Additionally, traditional gutters are manufactured in bulk, with each contractor using a different amount of stock gutter parts, depending on the size of the house or project. Seamless gutters are manufactured in the yard of the house they are to be installed upon, and are custom fitted to fit the building.
What The The Benefits Of Seamless Gutters?
Replacing traditional, outdated, gutters with seamless gutters is usually recommended by your contractor because of their reliability and efficiency. Not only do they greatly reduce the possibility of leaks, but they also eliminate unsightly seams. If you are in need of gutter replacement, we would strongly suggest that you consider making the investment towards seamless gutters.
But How Do You Know When You Need Seamless Gutters?
Some gutters can last for up to two decades, but some never make it past five years. Because if this it is extremely important to pay attention to the integrity of your gutters in order to ensure that they are doing their job correctly. In order to ensure that your gutters are in working condition, contact us at Nice Shingles Roofing & Exteriors for a gutter inspection and seamless gutters quote if you notice the following.
- Cracks, Holes & Rust – If you see cracks, holes, or rust on your gutters then it is important to consider replacing them before they fail. All three damages, while seemingly aesthetic, are signs of impending gutter failure.
- Broken Fasteners – Fasteners are the metal pieces that secure your gutters to your roof. If more than half of the gutters fall off, or become loose, your gutters will be at a high chance of failure during storming.
- Hardware On The Ground Below – If you find nails, screws, or other hardware on the ground beneath your gutters, it could mean that their integrity has been compromised.
- Separated Gutters – Traditional gutters feature seams, where two pieces of gutter meet. If the seam separates, the gutters drainage system becomes worthless.
- Sagging Gutters – Sometimes gutters can begin to sag. This may occur for multiple reasons ranging from their material to the physical weight of debris in them, but if you notice you gutters sagging it might be time for a gutter inspection.
- Peeling Paint – Peeling paint affects the aesthetic value of your home, as well as the functionality of the gutter.
- Eroded Ground – The number one indicator that it is time to consider new gutters is the presence of eroded landscaping under the gutters. This indicates that the gutters are not effectively maintaining the flow of water.

Jesus didn't like what He saw when He entered the Temple in John chapter 2.
He was so upset that he made a whip from ropes and drove out every vendor and every animal.
He turned over tables and made people leave.
I'm sure the disciples were standing speechless as they watched the series of events unfold.
The calm Jesus they knew and loved had suddenly become anything but calm.
In John 2:17 it says,
"Then his disciples remembered this prophecy about Jesus from the Scriptures, "Passion for God's house will consume me."
As I sit here this morning trying to sort out all my thoughts about work, all the details of my trip to an academic team training that starts tonight in Louisville, all the last-minute plans that go along with the 5K that is happening a week from Saturday, I have struggled with the words I read in John 2.
Jesus did not approve of the Temple of God being used as a Market Place.
What was supposed to be sacred had become a place to make a profit.
A place for worshipping God had been replaced with a place for buying things to try to please Him.
So many times in my life, I have allowed my personal temple to be transformed into something I don't like.
I just wonder what Jesus would remove from me today if He could come and "clean out" all the things that don't belong.
I feel like the little kid who keeps touching something hot even after I know it's going to burn me.
With a deep breath, I'm asking God to continue to point out all the areas of my life that need purged.
Like a closet in deep need of a makeover, I am asking God to clean me, empty me, reorganize me.
I'm praying that once again I can reach a place where I say, "No," and I don't feel like I'm going to disappoint people.
I will always say that one of the most guilt-free times in my life was when Nick was sick.
I didn't feel guilty about staying home.
I didn't feel guilty when I said, "No."
I didn't feel guilty focusing on my family.
I knew that taking care of them was the most important part of my life, and I was happy to be doing just that.
I don't want to whine this morning. I am thankful for so many things about my life.
But I do know that some things are upside down, some things are too chaotic.
And I believe Jesus just might do some passionate purging if I allowed Him to enter my Temple and have His way.
Today, I'm praying that all of us will look deep within our own lives and ask one question,
"If Jesus showed up today, what would He remove from my life so that I could worship God more freely?"
I want to be a Temple for God that invites worship not chaos.
I want to be a Temple for God that is focused on loving Him not trying to please Him.
I want to be a place He enters and feels at home not in the way.
"Help me, Lord, to clear out all the clutter and make room for You."
This may take a little time, but I can tell it's coming.
And I'm getting excited!

After dropping ye and acting as the executive producer on Pusha T's Daytona, Kanye West has teamed up with Kid Cudi for their joint album Kids See Ghosts.
Kid Cudi and Kanye West have had a rocky relationship over the years. First, Cudi was Ye's apprentice: Ye signed Cudi to G.O.O.D Music in 2008. But later after Kid Cudi left the label, their friendship ended.
In late 2016, Kid Cudi declared both Drake and Kanye for having "30 people write songs for them", and continuing to insist that they're "top 5". It was a jab that Ye didn't take lightly at first, but eventually reconciled with.
Now with the past behind them, their latest album, Kids See Ghosts, showcases how bizarre and mesmerising they can be together.
It's an eerie and otherworldly listening experience. Ye and Cudi push their chemistry and artistry to the next level. Ye's instrumentals are experimental and really set the mood and soundscape for this album. Cudi's voice is a true instrument, as he delivers however he sees fit- rapping, singing, humming, chanting, you name it.
"4th Dimension" is the door to this sound they've created. With a recurring Louis Prima sample as part of the backdrop, Ye and Cudi are relentless on this opener.
Kids See Ghosts is haunting and dark. The instrumental plays like the soundtrack to a march through a ghost town. It's brief, but Ye and Cudi are effective until the end. Cudi's background humming hovers and floats, as he reflects on the "stars" he "left behind".
Cudi raps through gritted teeth on this one; it's one of many unique deliveries he flexes on here. "Feel the Love" is a standout moment too. Over piano chords and some strings, Cudi's voice stirs us to "keep movin' forward". It's this ability to take his personal struggles and make that makes Cudi appealing to listen to. He takes elements of his personal struggles and makes them feel like universal mantras.
This album's conclusion is airy though. The old Kanye is seemingly "reborn", reminding us how potent he can be as a voice for the unheard.
Together, Kanye West and Kid Cudi have managed to craft a close-knit sound for their joint-venture. It's an experience that's best enjoyed as a complete body of work from start to finish.

Quick Note: For fans of One Piece, there isn't a better adaptation of the tone and feel of the characters and the world. The combat can get stale outside of boss fights, but between the all new story, the ability to play your favorite pirates, and the extra content there's plenty of game here. Never heard of One Piece? You probably should stay away.
Anime translations to games don't always work out the way fans want them to. You would think that taking the impossible battle sequences or outlandish powers and bringing them to a medium where players can interact with them would be simple, but often times the transition leaves behind something special, making the game feel like it's glossed with the anime inspired coat of paint, but missing the heart of the source material. One Piece: Unlimited World Red is the opposite: as an adaptation of the anime/manga, it feels and looks amazing; as a game, it leaves me wishing there was just a little bit more there.
|Pato and Redfield fit right into One Piece's bizarre cast of characters.
|The whole crew joins Luffy on this journey, and each one shows off their trademark fighting styles.
|Luffy's combat abilities look amazing, despite the fact that the combat is not very deep.
The combat is just short of a musou, or Dynasty Warrirors style game. Each character has two attacks (fast and strong hits) that can be combined to create attacks with the visual flourish of the manga/anime. Each character also uses these attacks to charge a special meter to fuel one of four special attacks (three per character and one group attack). The special attacks are strong and really make you feel like you are these powerful characters, but there isn't much strategy required for the general enemies. Often times, spamming attacks to build a special and simply blow them away is easy and grows boring over time.
|Lucci is one of the many foes that return from the manga/anime.
Beating levels nets you Strong Words, which are specific pieces of equipment that boost stats for characters, money to spend in town, and items that will help Luffy and crew build items or expand the town.
|Spider-Luffy!!! Oh I can dream...
|Climbing to get to Doflamingo is entertaining, for a while...
I mentioned the trouble of moving anime to video games, and ultimately, One Piece: Unlimited World Red falls victim to a lot of the same issues as other games do. It is a fantastic One Piece game, but it's not a very good game in general. The feeling of being able to utilize your favorite pirate's unique abilities and taking on the iconic characters from the source material is a lot of fun, but if you are not involved in One Piece outside of this game, it's probably better to move on to something else.
