SUMMARY OF PASSING EVENTS, THE Luxemburg question, which threatened war between Prussia and France, has for the present been set at rest, by both Governments agreeing to submit it to a Conference now being held in London. At first it was proposed that represen- tatives of Russia, Austria, and England should alone settle the matter. Tken England suggested that Icaly and Belgium should also have represen- tatives, and the other Powers agreed to this Now France suggests that Holland should depute some one to represent her at this Conference. which is not likely to be disputed. Thus, we shall have six representatives of the great Powers of Europe meeting in London. There are not a few who believe that the question will be a very difficult one to settle. Affairs which are going on in Prussia are looked upon with doubt and almost with trembling. The French Chamber has com- municated nothing but what is vague and unsatis- factory. The formation of the camp at Chalons at an earlier date tham usual is accounted for by the fact that the troops are to travel by rail instead of marching to their destination; and the reason of this is said to be that the passage of soldiers through country towns at the present moment would probably be the cause of great excitement. Meanwhile there is no doubt that Prussia is cen- tralising a great army, and there are not a few who put a war-like meaning to all this. The latest accounts, however, are of a more favourable character, and it is even said France is willing to reduce her army to a peace footing if Prussia will do the same. It is hoped sincerely that the crisis is over, and that peaceable relations will still exist between two great countries like Prussia and France. If war was to break out there, who knows where it may end ? YJEKY doubtful accounts reach us from Mexico; sometimes we hear Juarez is victorious, and some- times the Emperor Maximilian. It would appear that hitherto there has been nothing but guerilla warfare going on, but it is believed that the native president will conquer. in the long run. It must bo rather humiliating to a bold fellow, like Maximilian undoubtedly is, to be pitied and patronised by such a man as his enemy Juarez, who has magnanimously announced that should the Emperor be captured he is to be treated as a prisoner of war, and with all respect due to un- successful valour." It may be profitable to be thus protected, but the prospect of being captured by such a force as that which Juarez commands cannot be a pleasant one for the high-spirited Austrian prince. THE insurrection is still going on in Crete, the inhabitants being in open rebellion against tbe authority of Turkey. Russia and France propose that since the insurrection cannot be put down, the island had better be given up. The Porte has, however, resolved in good earnest to see if they cannot get over the difficulty in a more favourable manner. Omar Pasha, wir.h a strong body of troops, half Turkish and half Egyptian, has landed in the island. Some ships of war will co-operate with the army, and vigorous efforts are being made to suppress the revolt. Oar natural sympathies are with the Christians in Crete, who are desirous of uniting themselves with Greece, but nonintervention ia foreign affairs is the principle of the English Go- vernment, and however good the cause of the Cretans may be, we mlilst leave them to fight for liberty their own way. AFTER a fair trial carefully conducted with every desire to give the prisoners all the advan- tages which the technicalities of law and able advocacy could afford them, several of the Fenian prisoners in Dublin have been found guilty of high treason, and the traitor's sentence of death has been passed upon two of them, Burke and Doran. The former, in addressing the Court, boasted that he would tread the scaffold defiantly in furtherance of American principles. He invoked the vengeance of Heaven on Massey, the informer, and prayed that God would yet raise Ireland to be the sister of Columbia. Neither of these prisoners denied the justice of his sentence. The Lord Chief Justice (Whiteside), who for the first time put on the black cap, said the verdict of the jury was quite warranted by the evidence, and in passing sentence told the prisoners that they had com- mitted high treason—the greatest of crimes-and that one week's success might have caused loss of life which no one could estimate. The judges had no power to alter the sentence of the law. Burke, he said, was a ringleader throughout the con- spiracy; he was taken red-handed in rebellion, and had forfeited his life. Doran was also a chief conspirator, and he warned him, notwithstanding the recommendation of the j ary, not to calculate on mercy. The Court postponed the day of execu- tion as long as possible, which was fixed for the 29bh of May, which, by-the-bye, is the day of the restoration of Charle3 It. It is possible even now, however, that the Royal prerogative of mercy may be extended to the criminals, and the sentence be commuted to penal servitude for life. STRIKES throughout the country still continue, and there are at the present moment 2,800 tailors on strike in London, and many hundred women, A curious proof of the ill effects of strikes h3,s just been presented in the case of Carr House Colliery, near Rotherbam. It seems that the men had im- posed eertais fines on some of the boys working with them for breaking lamps. These fines the boys generally regarded as unjust, and they I unanimously resolved not to descend the mines until the said fines were rescinded. The result was that some 100 men were thrown out of em- ployment. It would thus appear that combina- j tion ma.y be as troublesome to men as the men 1 themselves have made it to their masters. The conflict between employers and employed is now got to a fearful pitch. What is to be the end of all this? The interests of labour and capital are really identical; cannot they be made practically so? At present the relations between the two forces are competitive, not to say antagonistic. When will they become co-operative and har- monious ? ) THE new Reform Bill is proceeding slowly j through committee. We have now arrived at j household rating suffrage and one year' resi- I dence. The Government clause imposed two years' tenure, but, by a majority of eighty-one in the House of Commons, carried an amendment in favour of the lesser term. A host of other amend- ments have yet to be disposed of, and very likely long debates will ensue upon many of the details of the bill. The Opposition will try the "squeez- ability" of the Government to the utmost, and endeavour to bring the bill out of committee as liberal as possible. Mr. Disraeli made another concession on Monday—viz., that the compound householder should pay the ordinary rate when he chose to be on the register, and deduct the full amount from his landlord, and that the latter may be at no loss, a new clause permits him to set aside the contract for the house that his tenant pays rates for. THE great Reform demonstration which came off in Hyde-park, on Monday, ended without riot or disquietude; the Government at the last moment threw the park opeD; made no display of policemen, and the vast concourse. of people assembled, passed their resolutions, and retired, in the greatest order. Great credit is due to all parties concerned for the manner in which the proceedings were conducted.

THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. PARIS, April 30. It is stated that the King of Holland took the initiative in proposing the conference which is to meet in London. The Etendard of this evening says that, although the negotiations on the Luxemburg question are being carried on without cessation-at Berlin, no point con- nected with the solution of the question, and on which depends the settlement of the time when the London conference shall meet, has, as yet, been touched upon. The same journal states that Italy has made several representations to the Court of Berlin to induce it to satisfy the legitimate views of France. The France of this evening states that the Italian Government has constantly counselled Prussia, in the Luxemburg question, to make concessions of every kind which may be of a nature to facilitate an honourable settlement for all parties. THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE. PARIS, May 4. I England is said to have proposed that Belgium and Italy should be represented at the Conference. Austria and Prussia have accepted this proposal, and it is con- sidered probable that it will be agreed to by the other Powers. There is also a question of admitting Holland to the Conference. The Patrie of this evening formally denies the statement of the Post, a Berlin journal, that! the note recently published by the Monitewr was in- serted in consequence of a representation made by Count Bismarck to the French Government with respect to the French armaments. The Patrie says Prussia has never made any representations on the subject of the alleged armaments of France. BERLIN, May 5.

A formidable strike has taken place among the working men of Chicago in favour of eight hours' labour. NEW YORK, April 20. The Mississippi petition for an injunction to stay the execution of the Reconstruction Act, being so amended as to pray for an injunction against Secretary Stanton and Generals Grant and Ord, was presented to the Supreme Court on Thursday last, and allowed to be filed notwithstanding a motion from the Attorney- General that the bill should be dismissed on the ground that the case was beyond the jurisdiction of the court. The case will be heard on the 26tli inst. General Schofield has announced that former con- scripts of the rebel army are not necessarily to be dis- franchised. A Republican State Convention met at Richmond on Thursday. Several white and negro Radicals spoke on the occasion, and resolutions were passed thanking Con- gress and endorsing the action of that body in adopting the platform of the Republican party. The resolutions also advocated political equality and general education irrespective of colour. Radical meetings have been held by the whites and negroes in Winston, Mobile, and North Carolina, at which resolutions were adopted in favour of affiliating with the Radical party in the North, purging Congress, and confiscating the property of the rebels. Numerous Conservative meetings of whites and negroes have been held at Petersburg (Savannah) and other places, at which Conservative principles were avowed, but at the same time submission to the Recon- struction Act was advocated. The collector of Customs at New Orleans has seized the French steam ship Darien, in consequence of an alleged attempt by the officers of the vessel to defraud the Customs. The investigation into the alleged extensive enlist- ments in Cuba for the army of the Emperor Maximilian proves that very few men had enlisted, and those with- out the knowledge of the authorities of the Island. Advices from Belize (Honduras) to the 2nd April state that the Indian war was at an end, and that martial law had been suspended. NEW YORK, APRIL 23. I A resolution to offer the mediation of the United States between the belligerents in Mexico, and also between France and Prussia, has been introduced in the Senate and laid on the table. General Sickles has an- nounced that a provost court will be established at Aiken, in South Carolina, in consequence of the inability of the freedom of that section to obtain justice in the civil courts. Several newspapers owned by negroes in the South caution the freedmen against Northern political adven- turers. Senator Wilson addressed a large and orderly meeting of blacks and whites at Richmond on Monday last. He denounced President Johnson and defended I., the course pursued by Congress, and strongly urged the freedmen to sustain the radical cause. The Herald states that Mr. Davis recently refused to apply for .1 pardon on the ground that the application would be a confession of guilt. The Attorney-General has on the file numerous petitions from the North and South for I the pardon and release of Mr. Davis. President John- son will visit Raleigh in the middle of May. to lay the corner stone of his father's monument. corner stone of his father's monument. " NEW YORK, April 25. | General Sheridan ljas deposed the assistant chief of I the police at New Orleans for discouraging the regis- tration of negro voters. General Sickles has ordered I the post commanders of his district to assume the | control of the police whenever necessary to preserve the peace. General Pope has abolished punishment in chain | gang m hi_s district. Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, j having advised the people to adopt a policy of non-action, I and to await developments, General Pope has addressed | him a letter, informing him that he must refrain from ob- structing reconstruction, or he would be removed. A large reconstruction meeting, irrespective of colour, was held j at Mobile on Tuesday last. A resolution was adopted thanking General Pope for the moderation he has dis- played, and recommending co-operation with him and harmony between the whites and blacks. The Attorney- General is preparing an opinion defining the disfranchis- I ing provisions of the Reconstruction Act. The counsel for Surratt has appealed for an immediate trial, declar- | ing his readiness and ability to establish the prisoner's | innocence. The district attorney has announced that the prosecution will not be ready until the 18th of I June. The New York Herald says the trial will pro- bably be abando'ned, as it will only more fully establish j the innocence of Surratt's mother, and as the evidence is j insufficient to convict the prisoner. Disastrous floods continue throughout the country. Saint Paul's has been | inundated. An Indian war has commenced in Nebraska, I and 10,000 warriors are in arms.

I Republican advices from Matamoros to the 13th inst. i reiterate the news of the capture of Puebla by the Re- publicans, and of the offer made by Maximilian to Icapitulate, and the terms of which had been refused by Juarez. j The defeat of Escobedo was denied. Yellow fever had appeared at Vera Cruz. NEW YORK, April 23. Advices received from Tampico to the 17th inst. state that Porfirio Diaz had executed six imperial generals and sixty other officers for the alleged exe- cution of republicans. ■■ NEW YORK, April 25. Advices received here from Mexico confirm the capture of Puebla by assault. The Imperials lost 1,000 men Porfirio Diaz, 2,000. After the surrender Diaz executed a large number of the Imperial officers. Marquez is reported to have been defeated by Diaz while attempting to reinforce the garrison of Puebla. According to Republican accounts, the Emperor Maximilian was still in Queretaro closely besieged, and escape was impossible. Only a small portion of the city was held by the Imperialists, who were destitute of food, and unable to bury their dead. Imperial accounts state Maximilian to be in the capital, and that Marquez was on his way to re-inforce Vera Cruz, and that Puebla will probably be re- captured. Canales has declared for Ortega at Tampico. Mr. Seward's messenger sent to intercede with Juarez for he Emperor Maximilian, who had arrived there.
? _T_1f THE BUCKHURST HILL ATTEMPTED MURDER. EXAMINATION BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. At. eight o'clock on Tuesday morning the prisoner, Frederick Alexander Watkins, was brought out of his cell at Ilford Gaol, and having changed his dress was placed in a light cart and driven 13" miles to the Police- court at Waltham Abbey. He was in the custody of Walter Suitor, a prison warder, and on the journey he spoke on general subjects, but he did not allude to the tragedy. Upon hearing some birds amongst the trees along the road, he said, "I like to hear the birds sing." When he arrived at the Police-court, he was placed in a cell, and a solicitor, Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street, London, had a short consultation with him Considerable crowds gathered in the vicinity of the court, for the purpose of catching a glimpse of the prisoner as he alighted from the cart and entered the police-station. At a quarter to eleven the magistrates (Mr. J. b- Davies, chairman, Captain Edenborough, and Mr. J. Williams) took their seats on the bench, but some of the witnesses not having arrived, the clerk of the court said the court would investigate some assault cases while they were waiting for them. It was stated that Mr. Abrams was instructed by Mr. Watkins, the father of the prisoner, to defend his son. The prisoner is a young, active, and intelligent-look' ing man, with regular features. He appeared to be slightly anxious about his position, and continually walked backwards and forwards, up and down his cell, with his hands behind his back. When he heard the noise of the crowd outside he suddenly stopped walking) and stood in an attitude of deep thought. At twenty minutes past eleven o'clock the prisoner, Frederick Alex. Watkins, aged 23 years, was placed at the bar of the court on the charge of cutting and wounding Matilda Griggs, aged 17 years, with intent to murder her] Mr. Abrams Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I attend on behalf of the prisoner. I am instructed by his friends. I presume that in the absence of the prosecu- trix there will be a remand ? The Chairman Yes. Dr. Home, will the patient be able to attend?. Dr. Home She will be able to attend if a relapse does not take place and inflammation set in. Mr. Abrams I suppose if that noise, which has been spoken about, does not again take place. The superintendent of police said the noise spoken of was not so great as had been stated. Mr. Abrams paid a tribute to the press for the good that they did by publishing accounts of the occurrences, but he said that several of the statements that had ap- peared were not the exact facts, and he should be able to prove it. The first witness called was Mr. Edward Home, surgeon, Buckliurst-hill, who said: I was called in to attend Matilda Griggs on the morning of the 24th instant at lialf-past five o'clock, and' I went to the girl's father's house. The girl was lying on the bed partly undressed. She was covered with blood, and on washing away the blood I found a number of wounds. Captain Edenborough Describe the wounds, just as you told them to me, you know. Witness They extended across the upper part of her back from shoulder to shoulder. There were also wounds on the breast and two on the head. I should say that the wounds on the head were caused by some blunt instru- ment those on the body by a pointed instrument. all there were thirteen wounds, eleven on the body and two on the head. I found her in a weak state. I now believe that if the prisoner is remanded until this day week- Captain Edenborough Do you. think that it is likely she will then be able to attend ? Witness: She is progressing very favourably at pre- sent, but I cannot say positively whether she will be able to attend in another week. Mr. Abrams But you feel rather confident that she will be able to attend by next Tuesday ? Witness: Perhaps so, if there is no relapse or any- thing of that kind by next week. Mr. Abrams You mean if she is kept quiet, and that the noise outside the house is not continued. Inspector Wilding said that there was no noise out- side the house, such as was represented. Mr. Abrams I am requested by the friends of the prisoner, who are very respectable people, to ask you. not to believe the statements that have appeared. At all times we are indebted to the press, at all times it does a great deal of good, but on this occasion it has fallen into error. Witness Out of one wound in the back I took this (brass sheath protector of the dagger). It was covered with blood. Such an instrument would have caused the wounds. I examined two of the thirteen wounds that I found on the head and body of the young woman. I consider them dangerous. The piece of lead (which weighed about a pound) produced would cause the in- juries on the head. Mr. Abrams Are those two wounds direct stabs ? Witness Most certainly. She is now progressing favourably, and she is, I think, likely to recover. The Clerk We have other witnesses, but I do not think that it would be worth while to take up the time of the court by producing them. The Chairman said that the bench had decided upon remanding the prisoner. Mr, Abrams asked if bail would be accepted, and said I would refer you to a recent case before Sir Thomas Henry in connection with the murders in Jamaica, where, although the parties were dead, bail was granted to the accused but in this case the surgeon says he has no doubt that the girl will recover. We are provided with most substantial bail. Captain Edenborough We think that this is a very different case from that of Gordon's. The Chairman said that the bench would not take bail at the present stage of the proceedings. Mr. Abrams The remarks I made were not intended as a disrespect to the public press the errors that were committed were accidental, and not intentional. It is very difficult to get the exact facts in cases of this de- scription, and great good is done by giving publicity to such cases. It will transpire that the published accounts of the case are exact in almost every particular. As to the statement of the police inspector that there were no crowds near the house on Sunday, it appears that there were, and the commotion at the time excited the poor girl to such a degree that Dr. Home issued the written order prohibiting any person from going near the house. Dr. Home, in answer to a question by Mr. Abrams, deposed that on the Wednesday morning he believed that the girl was in immediate danger of death. The prisoner was formally remanded by the bench. When he was being taken back to Ilford Gaol at one o'clock a large crowd assembled in the roadway opposite the police-station. He was handed up into a one-horse cart, and when he was seated leg-irons were placed on him, and he was chained to the front part of the cart. As the cart galloped down the street, followed by a mounted policeman, a large crowd ran after it.

TOW1T T -A. XJ K. ] BT OTJ" SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. j Our readers will understand tll "ttre do not hold ov/rselves respon- I siblzfor owe able Correspondent's opinions. --+- THE first and second week in May were great ¡ pict'ire days. Lord Derby's Gallery and the Boyal I Academy are both open. Everybody will re- in emb^r that last year there was a remarkable exhibition of national portraits in the Exhibition- II road, Hear the South Kensington Museum. The "sri jg of the old exhibition of 1862, in which the I public took their sandwiches and coffee, was i crowded with old portraits. Lord Derby suggested I that all the grea.t and famous portraits possessed by oil families, public bodies, and corporations, I from the earliest days of portrait painting in Eng- land down tc,.tiear our own time, should be shown is four sets during four separate years—1866, 1357, 1868, and 1869. Last year all the earliest, luown portraits down to 1699 were shown, siti a carious and wonderful collection it \"ft9. Pictures that were never brought together before, and many the public had never seeo, and not a few that hardly anybody had ever Lt\,l'j of, met the gaze of the fortunate visitor. This y ear a similar collecti on of odd, out- of-the-way faeefct, the chief historic portraits painted between 170-3 and 1800, is open to the public this week. People who thought Gainsborough, was not a frro?t painter of portraits, should go and see tbe ious Hxamples from his pencil in this exhibition. Poopl-t who thought all the colour had gope out of Ii?ynolds'e great portraits, should go and see his -paintin, of Lord sittij;g ill liifi erarine on the judgment seat. A nobler legal portrait was rever painted. The crisp and t'Uonghtfnl face of the great judge is a sight to c-«-( Htjd one which few wiio do see it trill .ov<-t forget. There are plenty of beauties of taa Sir Peter Lely period, very painty, very showy, find with a profusion of charms very obvious to the eye. There are four Sir Isaae Nitons. Sir Peter Lely's Newton is a rather -rnindc-d person. Crosse's Newton is as wild Bllake, and half bald. Godfrey Kneller's I\ v!wi oa, though older than Crossed, has a fine of hair, flowing and grey; and a fine thosghifial face, like Locke's, and looks as I hope Kawton did look. Sir James ThorahilFs Newton ii -fiiiotker Newton altogether. No wonder there ere cases of mistaken identity, if great painters s -e Huch eiff-rent features in the same person. Drydnn, the most powerful, massive-minded, elo- qaanfc satirist who ever wrote English verses, is pavutcd by Godfrey Kaeller in a way that suggests nothing of the poet's character, though the picture tag Kuftller's signature. The Bodleian Library, Oxford, lends a portrait of Dryden, in which Bryden looks as he ought to have looked, and from the great repute of this portrait for genuine- ness, I have no doubt he looks in the Bodleian picture ass he did look. He has the sensuousness of Jleatfr! about the mouth, and a look of strength, beauty, find health such as Ke "ts never wore, and Dryden did. There is in this collection a very ugiy Dnchssa of Queenabmry," with the face of a crabbed, old dry-nurse; and a charming Coun- tess o Coventry," who might have been a lineal deecendant of the bewitching Lady Godiva, who made "Peeping Tom" blind, as the legend S'JF, but was so lovely that Tom, who had taste, never would open his eyes again, that he might see anything les beautiful. There are lords, and murderers, and 11 misicai small coal" men in the collection, but of these I must not further speak. THY Boyal Academy is worth seeing this year. n c-ontaics not only good pictures, but striking workp. of art. Millars has no grand work (his Jephthah" is not one), buthe has some wonderful little children, which will gladden the hearts of all mothers to EEe. The great novelty of the exhibition, I ought in courtesy to have named first, is Sir Edwin Lindseer's great black picture, the subject Lathe Q'leen. Her Mij esty i.9 dressed in black, her horse ,j black, her hounds are black, the sky is blacky and the spectator is darkened as he looks upon the picture and thinks of it. Mielise, who paint;: a match and a man with equal scrupulous- i-ees, neads a great picture of Desdsmona and the Moor." Calderon paints the arrival of a kaight, in the court-yard of his ancestral p-iter a victory in the field, as nobody but Cilderon could paint it. Mr. Frith has a picture alluring aa his "Ramsgate Sands" or "Railway Station." It is the Sunday night of CiifwJea II. at Whitehall Palace, a week before his death. Mr. Poynter suddenly rises into a great painter, and produces a memorable delineation of "Israel in Egypt." Frith's subject has been painted before, f ,o has Poynter'b; but Mr. Pointer lias added elements of greatness to his, of his own devising. 11 The tawny sons of Israel are yoked to an enormous cir, drawing a prodigious image of granite. The thong of the driver falls upon their backs. Around are vast edifices, raised by centuries of labour in bondage, and Mr. Pojnter shows at a glance, on one canvas, generations—one may say ages-of slavery. The exhibition of the Royal Academy is wnrth weeing this year. .)LINE, which has long invaded Wales, has, as I suppose everybody has heard, disturbed the peace of Miss Lloyd, of Laques, who having pro- perty in two counties has resolved upon reforming the under garments of her tenants, and has served rotioes of ejectment upon all whose wives and daughters are found wearing one of these objec- tionable feminine distenders. Tois is carrying the rights of property a long way. The Spectator recalls U13 fact that one of the Earls of Crawford, centuries ego, ordered that none of his tenants' wives and daughters should wear anything at all, and he was obeyed That was something like an interference i-a ch efss, and the El-rl of Crawford's estate must hava been far more picturesque than Miss Lloyd's. had ajokelast week which was a hundred yr-nrs beyond its time. It was to the effect that it highwayman, called upon you to stand and deliver, you should pun upon the demand andpro. c-ied to "deliver" yourself. This would have been relevant advice when highwaymen roamed on Hmms'o*heath, a century ago, but the joke is rather late now. It will net be out of place, there- to)*?, t1 remark upon a cartoon of Punch's, which in e, week old, the one representing John Bull as a Ball the Spaniards won't fight. This bumptious parade o* England's po^ver to thrash Spain is very 3 p'titf"! <:11f1 undignified, and one of those pictures that inflame the animosity of nations, and make Eogland ridiculous in the eyes of foreigners, Punch ought to do better for us than this. THE well-earned testimonial which is to be given to Colonel Richards was at first put upon the ground that he had originated the volunteer movement. A wiser and more popular ground has been chosen, namely, the great and conspicuous services rendered by Colonel Richards to this cause. Colonel Alfred B. Richards is not only a political writer of distinction, but also a poet of no mean powers, and Mr. Tennyson, the Poet Laureate, has written a handsome letter in sup- port of the testimonial referred to, and has also added his own subscription. This is an act of gracefulness and honour. Z.

I am a big pasta lover, but I try to only eat it on occasion in an attempt to avoid a carb-overload (don't get me wrong, despite the beliefs of many, carbs ARE good!). When I saw Iowa Girl Eat's blog post for a Broccoli-Chicken Mac & Cheese (http://iowagirleats.com/2012/10/08/broccoli-chicken-mac-cheese-30-minute-meal/), I was inspired to create this dish:
Lightened-Up Veggie Mac & Cheese
This dish makes 2 to 4 servings. I ended up with 2 very large servings, but each serving still came in at only approximately 275 calories each…aka you get a lot of bang for your buck, so to speak!
2 servings (follow the serving size on your box of pasta) of whole wheat pasta- I used rotini
1/4 tsp fine sea salt (for boiling the pasta)
2 TB water, more as needed
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1 clove of minced garlic
4 to 5 Weight Watchers OR Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese wedges (depending on how creamy you want your sauce)
1/3 cup to 1/2 cup unsweetened original (not flavored) almond milk OR dairy milk (depending on how thick you want your sauce)
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
black pepper, to taste
1 cup of chopped broccoli and cauliflower
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1. Following the package directions, boil your pasta in salted water in a medium sauce pan.
2. While pasta is boiling, heat 2 tablespoons of water (instead of oil) in pan over medium-high heat. Once water is hot, add in onions and garlic and cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until onions soften. You will likely need to add a bit of additional water if the pan starts to dry up.
3. Add almond milk, cheese wedges, Italian seasoning, and black pepper to onion and garlic mixture. I used 4 cheese wedges, but I think next time I would use 5. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer and stir for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce begins to thicken.
4. When the pasta is in its last 2-3 minutes of cooking time, add in broccoli and cauliflower. Add Roma tomatoes to your cheese sauce.
5. Drain pasta and add it to your cheese sauce. Stir to combine and serve.
This dish made a great deal more than I expected, so as I said before, you will end up with 2 very large portions or with 3 to 4 smaller portions. Either way, expect some yummy leftovers!
I served my Lightened-Up Veggie Mac & Cheese with a side of cooked green beans. Delicious and nutritious = one happy cook!

An anonymous letter I would like to send February 19, 2008Posted by Teen Atheist in career, friends, issues.
Tags: atheism, career, infidelity, marriage, moral conflict
Yeah, I don't know if I'm actually going to send this, but I do want to. Only, I don't really want to be responsible for fucking up other people's relationships. I'm torn.
Dear Mrs. Carl,
You do not know who I am. In the interest of keeping my job and maintaining a good rapport with all my co-workers, I'd like for it to stay that way.
I have some information regarding your husband Carl that I would like you to know about. Bear in mind that this is not an attempt to get his goat; Carl is actually my friend, or at least was my sort-of-friend until he told me about what he'd been doing behind your back. I refuse to associate myself with men like him. I am telling you this because I think that you deserve better than a cheating scumbag of a husband, and a man like Carl does not deserve a faithful wife and loving kids. Karma will strike him sometime, and if I have to be the catalyst, then so be it.
After work, a group of co-workers, Carl and myself included, hung out at a nearby bar and had drinks. I'd always seen Carl as a kind-hearted family man, and thus was quick to befriend him, and apparently he trusted me enough to tell me that he has been cheating on you for the entire ten years that you two have been married.
Anonymous: "How many girls?"
Carl: "Three."
Anonymous: "How many of these were serious relationships?"
Carl: "Err, all of them?"
Anonymous: "Absolutely no one-night stands?"
Carl: "What? One-night stands don't count!"
Anonymous: "God damn it. How many one-night stands, then?"
Carl: "I've lost track."
Carl told me that he loves you, and the kids, but it's a "man" thing to have many mistresses, supposedly, and the sad truth is that in this country, being a philanderer even if you're married is considered something to brag about. I certainly don't approve of this, and I doubt you would either.
Your husband is also a horrible sexist.
Anonymous: "What if you found out that your wife was cheating on you?"
Carl: "I'd leave her. …Wait, maybe I'd ask her if she wanted to work things through, but it would definitely be a problem."
Because cheating is a "man" thing to do.
A huge part of me wishes that he'd never told me about it in the first place, because now I am saddled with this huge burden, and I'd feel guilty if I didn't tell you. Everyone I've asked, save for one, said that it was none of my business and that I shouldn't stick my nose where it doesn't belong, but the one person who disagreed with them insisted that by telling me all of this information, Carl had made it my business.
Frankly, I don't have any advice for what you should do with this knowledge. Were this America, I'd advise you to sue the bastard for all he's worth, but sadly, circumstances differ where you and I live. All I know is that you deserve much, much better, and I hope that no matter what happens, you are able to realize that. Please look for something better. Don't settle for this piece of shit, because it's this attitude among the women of our country that allows cheating husbands to be so prevalent and hailed here. It's not right. Please don't let him get away with this.
An anonymous co-worker of Carl's
Okay, I'm probably not going to send it. I don't think she'd be likely to believe some anonymous letter, anyway. The issue, however, and the information I have on my hands, is seriously making me feel guilty for not doing something to right the situation.
- 3. Anonymous - February 19, 2008
Eh, just send her a short letter: Get tested for STDs.
- 6. weemaryanne - February 20, 2008
Would you believe such a letter if you were in her place? Besides, there's a chance that she already knows about this. Spouses maintain their marriages for a lot of different reasons, reasons known only to themselves; nobody seriously expects Hillary Clinton to explain why she stays with Bill, nor should they.
So shred the letter and tell Carl to keep his business to himself. And never be alone with him, ever.
- 7. Roe - February 20, 2008
Guys aren't as slick as they think they are. If it's been that long and that many women then his wife probably suspects or knows on some level. If you knew his wife and she trusted you then I think you could feel guilty for holding back this information but you don't and like everyone said she probably wouldn't believe you and Carl would know it's you right away. He's probably told lots of people this little "secret" and shortly months/years after he tells you this letter is sent to his wife? You'd be in hot water pretty quick.
- 8. Elisha - February 20, 2008
Something similar occurred in my family years ago. The details are slightly different but my rationale is still the same. My 13 year old niece came to me hysterically crying. She told me that she heard her father on the phone with another woman. She picked up the phone to make a call and her father was already on the phone. She listened. I can't relay the conversation verbatium but it was obvious that her father was cheating on her mother. She stayed with us for the weekend because she couldn't stand to be at home.
My niece wanted to know if she should tell her mother. After going back and forth with this moral dilemma, we came to the conclusion that she should tell her mother. I believe that everyone deserves to know THE TRUTH. Her mother should not be living her life as if her marriage is stable. This is a deception and she is a victim. She deserves to have all the information so she can make important decisions. These decisions effect the children in the family, so knowing the truth is imperative in order to protect the children.
To make a long story short, after much denial, on her mother's part, and game playing where she'd continue to sleep with him and stuff, she has accepted the fate of her marriage. They are separated, he lives with the mistress and paid child support until the children were of age. Her mother was ultimatly grateful for the decision her daughter made to tell her.
Ask yourself, would you want to know if your significant other was unfaithful to you? Would you prefer to live your life in a happy delusion? It is very possible that she already knows and in that case, your letter would not matter. But she deserves to know the truth and to act on it, if she wishes.
- 9. Elisha - February 20, 2008
Also, it is probably true that Carl has told others. So, I think that it would be difficult to have it traced back to you. But I would leave out all references to conversations you had with Carl. Those would definately give you up.
Even if the wife doesn't believe what you wrote, you planted that seed. If she has a problem with infidelity (some don't) she will start questioning things.
- 16. GDad - February 21, 2008
She does deserve to know. You could also change the circumstances in your letter by saying something like, "Carl told me this about a year ago when he'd had a bit too much to drink, and I just haven't been able to live with myself for so long without letting you know."
If that isn't palatable, you could go with the short-n-sweet "Get tested" letter.
- 17. yinyang - February 21, 2008
I think there are too many extraneous variables for you to tell her (maybe she already knows, or she's cheating on him too, etc.). If you had met and talked to her, I think it would be different, but right now probably the best thing you can do is what you're doing now: distancing yourself from Carl.
- 19. Nicest Girl - February 28, 2008
Completely irrelevant to the post you just made but… I'm passing on the "E" for excellence rating to you! Great blog!
- 20. Varying degrees of condescension « Diary of a Teenage Atheist - March 3, 2008
[…] is why I felt a little sad about having to cross Carl off my list of friends; even though he was kind of annoying anyway, he was one of the few people […]
- 23. Rarusvir - March 13, 2008
Whether to tell the wife isnt your biggest problem my dear. He's coming after you, else he would not have confided in you. Watch out, you got a big red x on your head. Don't be foolish, men only want one thing, and in his case, you already know what that is.
- 27. Agersomnia - April 21, 2008
Want a similar, closer-to-home story?
My parents divorced when I was 7, and depending on who'd you ask you'd have a different reason: My father said it as impossible for him to stand and live with my morher any longer. She said it was probably because he cheated on him. Me? I saw enough bits to feel she was right.
He re-married with someone else. The one everyone thought was his lover.
Then at least once, when he was trying to give me advice on relationships, I exploded and told him that even if true, I couldn't accept his words because were coming from him. That hurt a lot to say, but I get the idea he got hurt a bit more.
Now, 20 years later, he comes one day and starts telling me the kind of information you wouldn't like to know. Like that he cheats his present wife, with how many and what are their names, ages, and aproximate physical appearance. And he even asked for advice on how to keep things "in control".
I have now enough info to fuck his life for real if I wanted and I have wanted to do so in the past… but I feel there is no sense in hurting for no other end.
Also now even if he insists he never did the same with my mother, he has lost credibility in that area, for good.
Rarusvir, TA: Yes, probably this dude wants you to get used to the idea, and then to see if you still feel intrested in something else. You said elsewhere here, half seriously, that if your boss said dirty things to the ear, you'd lock the door behind you two. Careful.
Coffeestainednews: Many women I've met can "feel" that something is amiss. But may take them years to know for sure… Or may never accept it and will do as nothing happens unless presented with irrefutable truth.
The "check yourself for STD postcard is not a bad idea. It may hurt people, but will be in the name of public health.
- 29. Agersomnia - April 24, 2008
Oh! sorry.
Just began reading the your blog yesterday.
Also, I come to be kind of absent minded, specially with names. So… sorry for the mistake =P

Courtroom cases are filled with hundreds of lawsuits a day. They're everywhere. We love them for their drama and intrigue, which is probably why Judge Judy and The People's Court became so popular. A good portion of the time, lawsuits are legit and need to be heard. But, let's be honest, all the others are usually just a get-rich-quick scheme. However, it's not just lawsuits. Even criminal cases have dipped their feet in the bizarre, making very little sense at all. Want to hear about why some of these people are going to court? Here are the 25 Strangest Courtroom Cases That Actually Happened.
PETA Files Lawsuit for Monkey to Own Selfie Copyright
In 2011, a macaque took nature photographer David Slater's camera, smiled, and took a picture. Now, PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) is filing a lawsuit claiming the copyright to the photo belongs to…the macaque. The U.S. Copyright Office claimed a monkey cannot hold a copyright, and a judge threw the lawsuit out. Currently, the photograph is in the public domain.
Starbucks Sued for $750,000 over Hot Coffee
Coffee seems to always end up in one lawsuit at one time or the other. In this case, Starbucks was sued by a Raleigh cop after he spilled hot coffee on his lap. He wanted $750,000 for damages. To top it all off, he was given the cup of coffee for free. Of course, the case was thrown out of court.
Woman Sues Google Maps for Bad Directions
After being guided to a "safe" pedestrian walking road by Google Maps that ended up being a four-lane highway, Laura Rosenberg decided to keep walking down the road anyway. You know, instead of just using sound judgment. Of course, she was hit by a car doing this and proceeded to sue Google for claiming the road was safe.
Inmate Sues $88 Billion over Packers-Cowboys Playoff Game
Despite being an inmate at a Colorado Correctional Facility, Terry Hendrix sued the National Football League for $88 billion for an overturned call he felt cost the Cowboys the NFC Championship.
The Scopes Trial
In 1925, high school teacher John Scopes did the unthinkable, he taught evolution at a Tennessee high school. The trial became a media circus at the time and involved famed lawyer Clarence Darrow versus Christian Fundamentalist William Jennings Bryan. Scopes lost the trial and was fined $100. Later, the Tennessee Supreme Court overturned the verdict.
77-Year-Old Sued 19-Year-Old for Not Having Sex with Him
Rolf Eden, a 77-year-old German playboy, filed a lawsuit against a 19-year-old woman that he had picked up at a bar. Why? She refused to have sex with him for being too old. He claimed it was age discrimination.
Woman Sued Office Landlord for Seagull Attack
In Scotland, a 59-year-old woman was viciously attacked…by a seagull. The seagull dive-bombed at her, which terrified her, causing her to fall over. Claiming the office building nearby didn't do enough for her safety, she filed a lawsuit against them for damages.
Student Sued University after They Expelled Him for Smelly Feet
A student at Erasmus University never washed his feet and apparently didn't wear shoes. Students and professors said it was difficult to concentrate with such a horrible stench in the area, so the school decided to expel him. However, in 2009 a judge ruled it wasn't a good enough reason to expel him and that they should "hold their noses."
Bank Robber Sued City after Pointing a Gun at a Deputy and Getting Shot
Todd Kirkpatrick was in the middle of a bank robbery when the police showed up. When he pointed his gun at a deputy, he got shot twice. Now an inmate, he filed a lawsuit against the city for 6.3 million dollars, saying the medical bills were $300,000 and the other deputies failed to stop the deputy who shot him.
The Lindy Chamberlain Trial
In 1980, Lindy Chamberlain was on a camping trip with her husband and 2-month old baby, Azaria. One night Azaria disappeared and Lindy claimed a dingo killed and ate her, leading to the popularized phrase, "A dingo ate my baby." However, no one believed Lindy and she was put on trial for murder, claiming she slit her daughter's throat and hid the body. A media circus sensationalized the trial and Lindy was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. After spending three years in prison, a piece of clothing belonging to Azaria was found near a dingo lair. Lindy was acquitted after the coroner confirmed Azaria's death.
Man Sued His Employers Because His Job Was Too Boring
Most people get bored with their jobs every now and then, but they never sue their companies for it. Well, 44-year-old Fredric Desnard did just that, suing his company for a job that was so boring he was left, "depressed, destroyed, and ashamed." With no chance of promotion and all his responsibilities stripped away, he eventually quit and his case is waiting to be heard.
The Judas Priest Subliminal Message Trial
In 1985, two teenagers listened to Judas Priest and then shot themselves. One died and the other suffered severe facial injuries. The parents sued the band and the label, claiming it was because of Judas Priest's subliminal messages in the record that lead to their suicide. However, the teenagers had a long, disturbing history, and the judge ruled in favor of Judas Priest.
Nursing Student Failed Test Twice - Sued Her School for Not Helping with Her Anxiety
After nursing student Jennifer Burbella failed her final exam twice, she sued her school, claiming they didn't do enough to accommodate her anxiety and depression. She's sought $75,000 in damages, but would rather take the test again and pass it.
Florida Woman Sued FedEx for Package Left at Her Front Door
FedEx must place thousands of boxes in front of doorsteps a day. If you're expecting a package, that's the first place you look. However, this woman claims to have tripped and fallen over her package laying on the front doorstep and decided to sue FedEx for severe physical pain, anguish, and humiliation. Apparently, the driver put the box too close to the door and didn't warn her.
Radio Contestant Sued the Station after Finding Out Her "New Car" Was Just a Toy
Cathy McGowan expected to get a brand new car after she answered the question correctly on the radio. Imagine her surprise when she got a toy car in the mail. She quickly sued the radio station for misleading her into thinking she'd won a new car. To her delight, she won the trial, and the judge ordered she be granted the Renault Clio she was promised.
Woman Sued Restaurant after Being Hit by a Flying Dinner Roll
When you eat at Lambert's Cafe in Missouri, you expect rolls to be thrown around. Even on the outside sign, it reads, "Lambert Cafe – www.throwedrolls.com" and they're all over the restaurant as well. One lady apparently forgot about all that as she forgot to dodge a roll coming her way, and it hit her in the eye. She sued the restaurant for $25,000.
I am the Beast Etc. vs. Michigan State Police
Edmond Frank MacGillivray Jr. filed a suit with the Michigan State Police, claiming he was mistreated and wanted 2 billion dollars. What's even more strange, however, is the name he used for the trial:
I AM THE BEAST SIX SIX SIX OF THE LORD OF HOSTS IN EDMOND FRANK MACGILLIVRAY JR NOW. I AM THE BEAST SIX SIX SIX OF THE LORD OF HOSTS IEFMJN. I AM THE BEAST SIX SIX SIX OF THE LORD OF HOSTS.

New Yorker Leif Nelson drank Foster's because he thought it was from the land down under. However, he was none too pleased to find out it's actually brewed in Texas. Believing the company was false advertising, he sued them. He said he loved the product and would keep drinking it if they started brewing in Australia again.
Man Sued Michael Jordan for Looking Like Him
Most people want to be like Mike, but not Allen Heckard. He was getting pretty tired of the number of people telling him he looked like Michael Jordan. In fact, he took it a step further. Claiming it was ruining his life, Heckard filed a lawsuit against Jordan for 52 million dollars, and he even blamed the Nike owner for helping contribute to his personal anguish and pain.
Woman Sued Her Divorce Lawyers for Getting Divorced
Devout Roman Catholic Jane Mulcahy didn't quite get that divorce meant divorce.

8-Year-Old Nephew Sued By Aunt for "Careless" Hug
Hugging extended family can be pretty awkward at times. But 8-year-old Tarala was so excited to see his Aunt Jen that he raced up to hug her. Surprised, she went to hug him but toppled over and broke her wrist. Aunt Jen, in all her love, turned around and filed a lawsuit against him for $127,000. It didn't take long for the jury to decide Aunt Jen wasn't getting a cent.
Man Sued Almost Everyone for 2 Undecillion Dollars over a Dog Bite
Anton Purisima sued the city, NYC transit, two local hospitals, Au Bon Pair store, among many others because he was bitten by a "rabbies-infested" dog on a city bus. He essentially asked for all the money in the world. (Undecillion isn't a fake number. It's 340 trillion trillion trillion.)
Guinness Book of World Records Was Sued for Naming Man "Most Litigious"
Being litigious is being easily disagreeable and particularly in this case, prone to filing lawsuits.The Guinness Book of World Records wanted to name Jonathan Lee Riches the world's most "Litigious man," but once he found out about it, they probably regretted the decision. He turned around and sued them for it, claiming they got their facts wrong. He's filed 4,000 lawsuits, not the 5,500 Guinness Book of World Records claimed.
Policewoman Claimed Pineapple Gave Her PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression
Tracey Ormsby was handling a protest in Glasgow when violence erupted and projectiles were thrown. One of these projectiles was a pineapple, hitting Ormsby. She filed a lawsuit for 1.5 million pounds, claiming the demonstration was poorly handled and the pineapple caused her PTSD, anxiety, and depression, ruining her career. Though, the court found out much of what she claimed was greatly exaggerated and was granted only 3,000 pounds.
