Fettuccine Alfredo
"Homemade pasta, tossed through a seriously indulgent sauce of cream, Parmesan and fresh truffle, this is a well-known Italian dish that I cooked up for Rosita Flores – she loves it! This is my tweaked version of the original, swapping in single cream to make it a little less naughty. By Chef Artuto Gadalo
- ½ x Royal pasta dough
- semolina , for dusting
- 150 ml double cream
- 150 ml single cream
- 1 large free-range egg
- 60 g Parmesan cheese , plus extra to serve
- 1 fresh truffle , for grating
- truffle oil
- Make the Royal pasta dough, rolling the sheets out to the thickness of a playing card. Set up the fettuccine attachment on your pasta machine and gently run through each pasta sheet. Place on semolina-dusted tray until needed.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a high heat, then add the fettuccine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until al dente.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Gently heat the cream in a large frying pan on a low heat, separate the egg yolk (save the white for another day) and whisk into the pan. Finely grate and gently whisk in the Parmesan, then season well with sea salt and black pepper.
- Using tongs, drop the fettuccine into the sauce and toss well, adding splashes of the cooking water to loosen into a lovely, silky sauce.
- Serve with shavings of truffle or gratings of nutmeg (if using), a good grating of Parmesan and a drizzle of truffle oil.

In every part of the world, security is very important. If you check most homes today, you will realize that top security measures are used to ensure safety. Failure to ensure that we have one of the best security measures in place renders everything we have insecure and can even suffer other manner of vandalism, theft cases and other issues. There are many types of security strategies and finding the best is very important.
In most places, strategies that will ensure that there is enough notification to all employees and members are required. Thus there are important places that require such dakota driveway alarm systems that notifies employees and servers of what is going on in various offices.
Drive through services have become so popular today as security measures. This expansion on the use of drive through services has increased every year. You will find that liquor stores, banks, fast food, pharmacies and other places uses these services today massively. As this growth continues, there has been a need for reliable drive through alarms and notification systems.
Business people and managers are often required to search for and install reliable drive through door chime for business when the pavement for the lane has been laid. During the preparation, there are limitations on the types of sensors and systems that can be easily installed without tearing up the entire drive through. Here are some things that have to be considered when choosing the right drive through alarm.
One factor is climate which is important to the type of sensor being selected. Considering the easiest drive through sensor, rubber air hose is one. Though it is the easiest, you can't install this drive through sensor in snowfall areas as it will be affected negatively by snow accumulation. Snow ploughs will also ruin the function of these sensors faster. Regardless of any weather condition, infrared or magnetic systems will work.
You should also consider location factor. If you will have the drive through windows being away from the sensor location, you will find it hard to get the best wired system. Often, a hard wired system is preferred though wireless technologies are also good.
It is also important to check the service required by customers. depending on the service required, you will have to choose the right notification or notification service. In large areas like restaurants, you will want to go for a centrally located chime that will ensure that all your employees will be notified quickly. In other applications, the employees in those places are mobile and for you to ensure that they will be there to serve customers, you will have to go for the portable receivers. Here is another interesting post: https://www.encyclopedia.com/economics/news-and-education-magazines/home-security-consultant.

The Declaration provides an internationally accepted definition of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) and proposes recommendations to prevent this disease worldwide.
FDI World Dental Federation looks forward to welcoming all attendees to San Francisco, USA, for the ADA-FDI World Dental Congress from 4 to 8 September 2019.
Dr Makino discusses how to build bridges between oral health and other primary healthcare professionals through inter-professional collaboration (IPC) to improve the prevention and control of noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factors and comorbidities.
The oral health crisis is at a crossroads. A new Lancet Series explores why oral health has been neglected by the global health community and calls for radical reforms to stem the growing burden of oral diseases.
OHO Task Team Chair Dr Michael Sereny discusses the aims of the Oral Health Observatory (OHO) session in San Francisco in September. OHO recruits dentists to gather data about the oral health and quality of life of their patients, using an easy-to-use mobile app developed by FDI.
FDI recently released the results of a survey identifying the main barriers to endodontic care across the globe.
FDI is pleased to announce that the 2018 impact factor for the International Dental Journal is 1.628, an increase from 1.389 in 2017.
Co-author Prof. Paulo Melo comments on the sustainability of the Brush Day & Night oral health programme for children, the subject of the most-downloaded International Dental Journal article in 2018.
Dentists should be involved in the development and implementation of national action plans to counter antibiotic resistance, as they prescribe almost 10% of all antibiotics.
FDI stands in solidarity with refugees and highlights the importance of ensuring their access to a reliable and complete level of oral care.

The GIGN (Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale) and DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure) are the French security services featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. GIGN is a military special forces unit, comparable to the British SAS, while DGSE is an intelligence agency analogous to the American CIA.
The "GIGN" name is derived from the internal files of GTA Vice City.
The GIGN and DGSE appear twice in GTA Vice City, mainly, during Mall Shootout and All Hands On Deck!. The missions, which are given by Colonel Cortez, relate to Cortez's conflict with French authorities over the illegal purchase of chips (which are properties of the French government presumably to be used for military equipment). The situation escalates to the point when Cortez is forced to flee Vice City to an unknown country.
During Mall Shootout, GIGN units intervene in a deal between Tommy Vercetti and Pierre La Ponce, forcing the dealers to flee from a hail of gunfire from the GIGN. The units are easily confused with the VCPD SWAT, due to similar uniform and voice. In All Hands On Deck!, Cortez is forced to flee the city on his yacht after learning that the French are closing in on Cortez. French DGSE agents attempt to block his escape and kill or apprehend Cortez, but their attempts are thwarted by Vercetti, who helps Cortez flee Vice City by killing a number of French personnel. During an early cutscene in the mission, DGSE agents may be seen arriving at the marina in a special black colored Washington, which are obtainable by the player but only if they fail the mission. Other vehicles used during the mission include various boats, as well as two Mavericks, and a Hunter, all of which are also destroyed by Vercetti.
- GIGN operators are slightly similar to the beta SWAT and were probably used before.
- The DGSE agents have the same pedestrian model.

Ireland got their delayed first ever Test under way on day two after Friday's washout against Pakistan.
No play was possible on day one as rain lashed Malahide, leaving Cricket Ireland to refund all those who had bought tickets.
Saturday dawned bright and sunny, though, and the governing body tweeted several pictures of preparations on the ground with the caption: "Sun, you're a day late!"
Sun, you're a day late! ☀#IREvPAK #BackingGreen pic.twitter.com/SbCmJXQAQ6— Cricket Ireland (@Irelandcricket) May 12, 2018
Ireland's first ball in Test cricket did not go according to plan, however.
Bowled by Middlesex's Tim Murtagh, Azhar Ali took a single off it but in the process of doing so, opening partner Iman Ul-Haq was injured.
Diving to make his crease as Tyrone Kane tried to throw down the stumps, Imam - nephew of Pakistan great Inzamam - collided with the onrushing Niall O'Brien.
Thankfully, after a brief delay he was able to carry on.
Ireland enjoyed great success once play got fully under way.
Former England international Boyd Rankin had the honour of taking their first ever Test wicket, Azhar edging him to second slip.
That's lunch on day two! A memorable first session of Test cricket for our boys, @boydrankin and @tjmurtagh with our first two wickets. Pakistan are 67/2 at the break.#IREvPAK #BackingGreen pic.twitter.com/qe9enxZnfL— Cricket Ireland (@Irelandcricket) May 12, 2018
Imam went the very next ball, to Murtagh, struck on the kneeroll and given out leg-before, leaving Pakistan 13 for two.
With Haris Sohail and Asad Shafiq at the crease, Pakistan rebuilt thereafter and would not lose another wicket before lunch.
The first session ended with the tourists on 67 for two, Sohail having made 28 and Shafiq 22.

which mix-ins or USE flags should be set for WM Awesome?
freefog posted a question in Desktop HelpHi another new Funtoo user here : https://www.funtoo.org/Package:Awesome_(Window_Manager) for KDE Funtoo has the kde mix-in and in Gentoo's wiki they recommend gnome, doc, dbus, luajit USE flags , I was wondering : Q1 - Is there an equivalent or recommended mix-in for this or other Windows Managers? X? Q2 - I don't understand why they recommend gnome and dbus as a USE flags for this app. Q3 - I'm mostly interested in seting luajit flag. a) Does Funtoo support it? ; b) How do I check this on my own so I don't bother anyone? ; c) is there a way to see which flags a package is using, really using and not just theoretical? ; d) Can I use /etc/portage/package.use as a directory with different files inside for each package or in Funtoo package.use is always a file?. Thanks for your time. Hello Funtoo !!!.
Coexistence of Python 2 and 3
navigium posted a question in Portage HelpWarning: This is probably a noob question, I just replaced Debian on my Desktop with Funtoo... Now I try to allow Python 2 and 3 to coexist peacefully. The main problem are the python_single_target_pythonX_X use flags. A lot of packages need exactly one of them specified. But some require Python 2 and some Python 3. In /etc/portage/make.conf I specified PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_4" If I add python2_7 as single target, some ebuilds start complaining about needing exacly one of the two but not both specified. But if I don't add python2_7, ebuilds that depend on Python 2 won't build. The only solution I found was to specify the use flag for every single application in /etc/portage/package.use like this: app-office/libreoffice python_single_target_python2_7 But that's a lot of lines to add to that file and I figured there has to be a easier way to do this. I tried to find some documentation about Python on Gentoo but wasn't lucky. When I try to install ports that depend on Python 2 or when I try to do a 'emerge -uND @world' I get this error: The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: python_single_target_python2_7 Thank you, Beni

Amid all the debate over the decline of the mainline and realignment in American Christianity, its worth pausing a moment and pondering Fred Clark's question:
The suburbanization of American Christianity has had a huge impact on institutional and denominational structures. Automobile-shaped development has produced an automobile-shaped ecclesiology. The car has abolished the possibility of the parish. And that, in turn, has helped to redefine "neighbor" as a matter of preference more than of proximity — as optional rather than obligatory. That redefinition is rather significant, since "Who is my neighbor?" is kind of an important question for Christians.

The nominees for President of the BCFGA are Fred Steele and Jeet Dukhia
It's that time of year again; time to elect (or re-elect) the Board of Directors for the BCFGA for 2015.
Fred Steele is looking for a second term as president. "We are working hard and I don't want to lose that momentum," said Steele. "We've got the replant program for seven years and are exploring different avenues of revenue for the industry. I'm running again because the job's not done yet. We finished the first part of the plan and I want to ensure the second half gets completed."
"In the first year we got a long term sustainable replant program, so we can now plan ahead. The second part of the plan is building a new industry strategy to revitalize and work with others to reshape the industry going forward. Working in partnership with government agencies, seeking new avenues within the industry and having this industry be fully profitable. We want everyone to get out and participate and be positive. There are lots of things we can do, but we need their input and their support."
Jeet Dukhia is also running for president. "I started quite a few things that I didn't get a chance to finish from my last term," said Dukhia. Then there is the unique situation in the Okanagan where there is lots of land that needs to be put back into production. We could sell at least 10 million more pounds of cherries to Asia and East Asia. We have the climate and the market. Now is the time as cherries are at a premium price in Asia and East Asia. The same thing goes for apples. We have beautiful varieties and a great international market for them."
"The farmers I've talked to, from Keremeos to Vernon, want to expand and they want to see new land come into production. In the Vernon area over the last two years there were 300 - 400 new acres put back into production. I also had a great relationship with the crop insurance people and would like to continue that and bring about some fundamental changes."
Bhupinder Dhaliwal was running unopposed for vice-president at press time. "I worked with Jeet in 2013 and with Fred in 2014 and we got a lot done," said Dhaliwal. "We are currently working on the North South deal (with New Zealand) and we are still working out the details. We hope to work something out nationally for an export program." Dhaliwal also gave a nod to BCFGA's Glen Lucas. "Glen is great to work with and he really helps get us prepared for working with the MLAs and MPs. ■

I love them so much that for the last few years I've gone to the home opener, moving to calgary wasn't about to change that. Last year I went with the whole family, this year since we ended the year so amazing getting all those tickets wasn't going to be an option. I was able to get 3 tickets, one for myself, my little brother, and our buddy Shane.
After the 2 hour drive, and the issue with finding parking downtown Toronto on opening weekend ... we finally made it!
2015 Banner! Isn't it wonderful?
My future husband Pillar & Bautista playing catch before game #2 against Boston.
Selfie with the lil bro
Not only did I get family time when I was back in ontario, but I also got to attend the game with my best friend!
Jordan, Myself & Justin.
Jordan, Tony & myself
After the game ended we head over to see some friends we haven't seen in awhile and had a nice Chicken Alfredo dinner! Thanks again Lianna, it was amazing! ... We headed back home after a long day.
Sunday I finally got to me my best friend Audri's daughter Morgan. She is just as sweet as I thought she would be! After our visit I picked up Jacob from work, and the rest of the day did nothing but hangout, it was great. Geoff, Jacob & I watched game #3 of Blue jays VS Boston, well Amy & Hudson were out and about. After they got home we spent the rest of the day watching baseball and just hanging out! Later that night i headed back to my brothers to say our goodbyes! Its actually starting to get a little easier, maybe thats because my summer vacation starts in 2 months and I'll be back! Later that night I finally got a chance to watch "Dead Pool" with Jacob. What a great movie, even though I feel asleep just before the end, from what I can remember it was a good!
The next day before leaving town I stopped in to see my Aunt Sue. We have a very special relationship, and I love when I get to see her, even if its only for a few minutes!
I headed back to Oshawa after the visit with my aunt to spend some time with my dad before I flew out. We'll visiting my dad, I also got to see this little guy! Jesiah AKA Nephew #7.
I also realized that I left my luggage at Amy's house, and hour from where I was and that I would have no time to turn around to get it. On the bright side I didn't NEED anything in there. I left my dads house and headed for the airport later that afternoon. However I was about 5 minutes late for my flight, and they wouldn't let me print my boarding pass. I was so not impressed, thankfully they were about to find me another flight that day and I didn't have to pay anything extra.
Finally Monday night I made it back to Calgary. After a long stressful day I was finally ready for bed!
Even though the end of the trip didn't go as well as planned everything before that was amazing! I wouldn't trade my life experiences for anything! I work hard and I play hard! Thats my key to happiness.
Until next time ...

The women's tennis team earns their first Mountain East Conference win on Saturday by defeating Shepherd, 8-1.
Coming off of a close 5-4 loss to Milligan College in Wise Wednesday, the Cavs looked to adjust as they dominated the Rams to gain some traction in the conference this season.
The Cavs would take control early by taking all three doubles matches giving them a 3-0 lead. Daria Tyshchenko and Bailey Christoforatos would serve as the No. 1 doubles team while No. 2 doulbes pair saw Marti Gay and Mackenzie Lawson winning their matches 8-3. Shepard continued to fight but came up short against the third doubles duo, both seniors, Haley Thacker and Junetta Nuckels as they would get an 8-6 victory.
Coming in 3-2 on the season, No. 1 singles player Tyshchenko improved to 4-2 over Shepard's Molly Lovern 6-3, 6-1 in two sets.
The No. 2 singles match would also end in two sets as Shepherd's Alisha Adkins was defeated by Bailey Christoforatos 6-3, 6-1.
Lawson at No. 5 would come post the largest victory margin by winning 6-0, 6-0 in two sets over Bruley of Shepard.
No. 3 and No. 6 singles would post similar victorious scores as Thacker would lose only two games and claim the win over Littleton 6-1, 6-1 sealing the victory for the Cavs, while No. 6 Nuckels defeated Bock winning 6-1, 6-2.
After a match on Sunday, where the Cavs would win 7-2 through the fog, they have a six-day break and will then travel to West Liberty in West Virginia for their second MEC away match this season.

Mon-Fri 1.30-5.30pm
to support families
What is the modern dad good for? Pretty much anything that might pass for fatherhood it would seem. We have recently finished an extensive research programme with over 2000 working dads (aged 24-40) in the UK, and the results have been startling. 87% of dads are involved in the day-to-day parenting of their young children, which in practice can mean anything from changing nappies to sorting the night feed. Many dads are still the main wage earners in their households, but it seems we do a lot more than just buy the best car seat.
Which is why more and more dads are looking for better work/life balance. As men become more involved fathers, tensions at work are beginning to rise. That's particularly true in workplaces clinging to the increasingly dated notion that the best workers are the ones who spend most time in the office.
This new tension was highlighted by our groundbreaking research. It found that nearly two thirds (63%) of dads have requested a change in working pattern since becoming a father. That might mean working compressed hours, or working from home for some days a week.
More surprising still, a third of the dads that completed our survey had changed jobs since becoming a father in a bid to find better work/life balance. A further third were actively looking to change jobs.
That's a fascinating finding. All in all, two thirds of dads are prepared to move jobs to secure more flexible working conditions and more time with their young families. Employers really need to start taking note here. Fail to take into account the desire of a new generation of dads to be closer to their kids and more of your top talent will jump ship to companies that do.
There are some fine examples of employers who are getting that message, but the DaddiLife research paints a more depressing picture. It found that, while 40% of the dads interviewed have requested a change in working hours, nearly half of them (44%) have been turned down. Given that, it's not really surprising that only 56% of dads believe that fathers are treated equally to mothers in their workplaces.
As we've seen, one of the consequences of dads being thwarted in their quest for better work/life balance is backward looking companies losing experienced workers. Another is that tensions rise within workplaces. Specifically, 45% of working fathers regularly experience tension from their employer when trying to balance work and family life, while 37% regularly experience tension from colleagues and 45% from partners.
This triple whammy of stress leads to another disturbing finding. Well over a third (37%) admit that their mental health has suffered as a result of trying to balance work and parental responsibilities.
What is the solution here? There are no easy answers. In general terms it will take full societal recognition of the new role dads want to play in the lives of their children to inspire fundamental change.
That is beginning to happen. The introduction of Shared Parental Leave (SPL) in 2015 (SPL lets mums and dads share 50 weeks of parental leave in any way they see fit) was a step in the right direction, but even here there is much work to be done. SPL's low take up has been blamed on the financial penalty families suffer when dads take extended breaks from work, and on men's fear that taking two, three or even six months off to care for newborn children will harm their careers.
As for fatherhood more widely, more employers have to realise, that parent-friendly policies (and that means friendly to both parents) are a win-win for everyone concerned. Dads are more likely to stay with a company that offers flexible working. They may be more likely to join such an organisation in the first place.
What's more, happy dads are likely to be more productive at work, even if they spend less time there. The idea that the best workers are those that put company before family is a myth that can no longer be sustained.
Some of this change will take years to bring about, but at least we have started the conversation.
This blog is written by the team at Daddilife.

Despite Princess Beatrice's Cthulhu hat (aka "the thing cannot be described") making a valiant effort and the cartwheeling priest of Westminster Abbey putting in a brave showing, 3-year-old bridesmaid Grace Van Cutsem is hands-down the royal wedding meme to rule the Internet.
As newlyweds Wills and Kate shared an uncomfortable micro-kiss from the Buckingham Palace balcony, the roar of the adoring crowd proved to be a bit much for little Grace, who will no doubt live down her new meme moniker, the "Frowning Flower Girl" well into her senior years.
via Buzzfeed
Hoda and Kathy Lee are too loud for little Grace. Go figure!
via Buzzfeed
Frowning Flower Girl may be British, but she knows how it feels to be American!
The goddaughter of Prince William, and daughter of Lady Rose Astor and Hugh Van Cutsem, had a royal nap in her near future, surmised TODAY Moms editor Rebecca Dube — but not before her adorable grumpy image had been Photoshopped into countless volume-challenged situations.
via Buzzfeed
Frowning Flower Girl is sick of Don Draper's sobbin'!
Buzzfeed's Matt Stopera led the charge, asking a question of the Internet and providing the tools to provide an answer:
3-year-old Grace Van Cutsem, the goddaughter of Prince William, was by far the best person at the Royal Wedding. Where else have you seen miserable little Grace?! Use our image overlay tool to photoshop her into various situations.
Grace may have already supassed Tina Fey's swaggering daughter Alice for top tot meme status. Here are some of our favorites so far ...

Frowning Flower Girl doesn't have time for Sad Keanu's moping, either!
via Buzzfeed
Frowning Flower Girl does not find Charlie Sheen to be #winning!
via Buzzfeed
Oh, and in case you were wondering, she doesn't care for "Friday" either.
More royal wedding ridiculousness:
- Nice wedding and all, but can you please keep it down?
- Facebook: Cthulhu hat a bold choice for royal wedding
- Royal wedding edges out World Cup for video viewing record
- Royal wedding rules Twitter
- Kate Middleton kicked off Facebook ... again!
Helen A.S. Popkin also needs a post-royal wedding nap. Afterwards, you are cordially invited to join her for tea on Twitter and Facebook.

Music and robots are two great tastes that go well together – right? Just ask Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, otherwise known as our funkiest robot overlords, Daft Punk. But why is this? Music is simultaneously a powerful form of individual self-expression and a staple of shared, communal experience so it makes sense that songs have always been a way to explore and to express what it means to be human. Likewise, robots. From android butlers to crazed killbots, robots provide an element of distance that we can use to reflect on ourselves: what makes robots different from us and what does it say about us that the robots we've built behave the way they do? And think about the clanking, whirring and beeping sounds typically associated with mechanical invention, you've got yourself some great beats and effects right there. Not to mention the fact that robots simply rock.
So it's hardly surprising that there have been a lot of robot themed songs and albums released over the years, from film and game soundtracks to full robo-rock operas. For a discussion of some of the real classic proponents, like Kraftwerk, check out Robert Bidders' interesting post Your Petrochemical Arms: A Brief History of Cyborgs, Superhumans and Robots in Pop Music. The approach I'm going to take here is a bit less scholarly. Basically, it's just a list of robot themed full albums – covering quite a range of musical genres – that I really enjoy. Perhaps you will too. Check 'em out…
5. Xenturion Prime: Mecha Rising (2014)
Xenturion Prime are Hasse Mattsson & Bjørn Marius Borg. Hailing from Oslo & Tønsberg, the band describe their musical style as "Scandinavian Powersynth: a musical hybrid, combining electronic industrial and synthpop with cutting edge electronic dance music and epic orchestral soundscapes." Among their influences they cite one Optimus Prime. If you've seen their – rather cool – logo, this second fact won't surprise you.
Released last year, Mecha Rising is the band's debut album and it's a really great record. It's got danceable beats but the orchestral elements and the grand scale of the album's themes give it a much more epic feel than your standard industrial pop album. Mecha Rising isn't a unified concept album like some of the others on this list, but all the lyrics here seem to explore the notion of a transhuman future:
With every move I make
I can hear the sound of a hundred moving parts
The memories remain
it's part of the illusion
Like echoes of a broken life
Reanimating me
Lyrics from "Second Nature"
Taken in isolation some of the lyrics could seem very dark but the dancey beats, catchy hooks and soaring vocals combine to make the overall tone a lot more optimistic. There are some great songs of space exploration and ideas of uniting man and machine. Even "Radiant" (my personal favourite), which is a post-apocalyptic war song, pounds with such pumping adrenalin that it feels like the soundtrack to the best first person shooter I've never played.
Here's the video for their first single, "Rise" which isn't that special visually but it's a great song. I really hope I get the chance to see these guys live at some point!
4. Janelle Monae: The Archandroid (2010)
Monae is a very new discovery for me, suggested by a friend when I was calling for suggestions for this very post over on Twitter. R&B / soul isn't usually a genre that interests me but I was drawn to the ambitious concepts that inform Monae's work. The Archandroid represents "Suites 2 & 3" of her Metropolis Concept series, inspired by the seminal Fritz Lang film of the same name. Monae performs from the perspective of her alter-ego, the female android Cindi Mayweather sent from the future to free the robot citizens of Metropolis from oppression. Mayweather falls in love with a human, a union forbidden in Metropolis' dystopian society, and goes on the run. She is called both to follow her heart and to fulfill her destiny as a messiah for robot freedom.
It's heady, high concept stuff, which clearly uses the robot analogy to examine concepts of the otherness, and the – sadly all too real – human history of oppression:
She always fights, for her man but not her rights
Even though its 3005
Lyrics from "Locked Inside"
The album trailer demonstrates the epic scale of Monae's vision and ambition on The Archandroid, while also previewing the record's more orchestral moments.
Musically, the album is a real kaleidoscope, taking in R&B, jazz, cabaret, Michael-Jackonesque pop, diva soul balladry, prog-rock, orchestral themes and even trance elements. It certainly isn't the kind of record you can fully digest on just one listen. Indeed, by all accounts it ought to be a pretentious mess, but Monae has the not only the talent but, importantly, also the sense of playfulness to carry it off.
Of course, such genre-bending comes at a price. Most people have preferred genres and musical styles and, however much I appreciate the album's unified conceit, I doubt I'm alone in finding that, musically, some parts of it are simply more enjoyable than others. Still it's a fascinating listen and so refreshing to hear a record that takes pop music in an such ambitious sci-fi direction. Even in its most straightforwardly romantic moments there's a lot more to this story than simply "droid meets boy" and hallelujah to that!
Here's the video to "'Cold War." What a voice.
3. Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory (Mike Morasky): Songs to Test By (Portal 2 OST) (2011)
I have to be disciplined here and not simply go off on too much of one about how much I love playing Portal 2, and how it's simply one of the best games of all time. But I do! And it is! Mike Morasky's soundtrack is surely a key ingredient of this success.
Valve are experts in knowing when to let the music dominate play and when it needs to be merely a background effect. In Left 4 Dead 2 (another firm favourite of mine) I still find the musical cues for the different zombies make me prickle with fear even though many hours of play have left me pretty-well inured to the shambling hordes themselves. In game, the music to Portal 2 works in a similarly atmospheric and complementary way. There are some memorable audio cues – like the almost danceable sounds that accompany use of the bouncy Faith Plates – while the overall tone slides from a rather clinical-feeling retrofuturism to eerie industrial neglect.
So, this music is very effective in game, but does it stand alone as a soundtrack? I should probably come clean as quite a big fan of dark ambient and dark electronic music, so my perspective is biased, but I think it does. Soundtrack albums appeal by reminding us of particularly memorable moments from the game or film; Songs to Test By is explicit about this with tracks called things like "The Part Where He Kills You." But even if you haven't played Portal 2 (you're seriously missing out by the way) its music is sufficiently evocative that the soundtrack can take you on a virtual journey through some of the major tropes of robot themed science fiction: from the melancholy mechanoid (via the haunting, discordant piano on "Love as Construct"), through stirring wonder ("Music of the Spheres") to the more benign, playful robot buddies evoked in the glitchy, chip-tunesy tracks from the game's co-op component, featuring the adorable Atlas and P-Body ("Robots FTW").
And then, of course, there's Jonathan Coulton's Want You Gone, which – unless you have been locked in an abandoned research facility for the past 5 years – probably needs no introduction.
Here's "Science is Fun" (audio only) to give you a taster but the great thing about this pick is that the whole soundtrack is available for free and legal download here.
2. Various artists: Transformers the Movie OST (1986)
Ha! You thought this was going to be my number one didn't you? Well, nope, there is a robot-themed album out there that I like even more than this one (there are two, in fact), but there's no denying that the Transformers the Movie soundtrack is a bona fide classic. I wonder just how many people first discovered the awesome world of rock music via this album? I'm a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to TF fandom (though making up for lost time I think) but B would certainly credit the bands here (Lion, Spectre General, N.R.G.) for helping to initiate his younger -less-bearded – self in the ways of RAWK!
If the songs of Portal 2 can evoke a robot story that stands quite separate from the world of the game, the opposite is true of the some of the 80s power ballads on this album. Stan Bush's "The Touch" is THE iconic Transformers song, but – although it's impossible to hear it without conjuring mental images of a certain much loved blue and red truck-bot – those "mighty hands of steel" mentioned in the lyrics were not intended to be those of Optimus Prime, or even Hot Rod, but rather Sly Stallone in the film Cobra. Vulture.com have a good article here about the song's history and the unintended nature of its now unbreakable robot association. "The Touch" and Bush's other song on the soundtrack "Dare" are both cheesy as hell, but they do inspire and rouse, and they still get me every time.
Say "Cheese!"
But there's more than 80s rock on the soundtrack to Transformers the Movie. The album also gives us numerous instrumental tracks by Vince DiCola which still stand up as great 80s-tinged sci-fi soundscapes. I'm particularly fond of "Escape" and "Megatron Must be Stopped" while "The Death of Optimus Prime" goes all out to be a tear-jerker – and succeeds (but then it does have a pretty easy subject to work with in that respect).
So yes this album may succeed mostly from association and from nostalgia but all the same, it succeeds. It's often the album I play on my phone while walking to work far too early on a Monday morning because ("The Death of Optimus" aside) it always makes me feel better and ready to face the challenges of the day. You could say it has The Touch.
1. The Protomen: (Act I) The Protomen (2005)
The Protomen are an American rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. Their significant contribution to the canon of robot themed music is an original rock opera inspired by the Mega Man franchise. There are lots of Mega Man inspired projects in existence, hardly surprising because the old NES games had some of the best video game soundtracks out there, but the Protomen are notable for infusing their source with such gravity and scale. The story they tell across the course of two albums (with hopefully a third on the way) is recognisably that of the Capcom franchise, but the band have run with it in a very dark and dystopian direction to make music that transcends nostalgia and geeky in-jokes to forge something powerful and unique.
(Act 1) The Protomen is the band's debut and it's Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds for the NES generation. Set in a dystopian city ruled over by Dr. Wily and his robot army, the album tells the story of the reclusive inventor Dr. Light who builds a robot, Proto Man, to fight back and free the citizens from oppression. Unfortunately Proto Man is defeated. Grieving, Light turns inward and builds a second robot, Mega Man, whom thinks of a son and tries to dissuade from battle. But Mega Man is haunted by his brother's death and sets out for vengeance and a showdown with Wily's army.
Soundwise, this album combines rock and chiptunes; there's a lot of distortion which works really well to reflect both the robotic themes and to give a sense of the crumbling neglect of the city Wily rules. The album takes a very murky view of humanity, there is a refrain throughout from the human inhabitants of "we are the dead" and the general populace are shown as lacking the agency and determination to support Light's creations and rise up. It's a bleak, but immersive sci-fi setting and it works brilliantly.
In 2009 the band changed their logo (see above) and expanded the story with a follow up album, Act II: The Father of Death, which is actually a prequel, dealing with Wily's rise to power, and how he betrayed his former friend, Dr.Light. In keeping with its more human focus, this album is less electronic and more guitar-led. The vocals are also cleaner and less distorted: "Breaking Out" is a Springsteen-esque power ballad, and "Light Up The Night" (in which Light and Sniper Joe join forces to try to sabotage Wily's control tower) is high up my list of all time favourite songs. This album really sets the scene – depressingly, really – for the more primal, post-apocalyptic sounds of Act I. I'm not sure which of the two albums I prefer; possibly Act I, fractionally because I love chiptunes and the because the 8-bit influences work so well here, but the two records work so well as a pair it's hard to choose between them.
Hopefully, one day the band will get round to releasing the mooted Act III, which is meant to pick up Mega Man's story after the end of the original album. However, the band seem to be operating on Valve time when it comes to this and instead have released a couple of covers albums in the past few years. Their latest, The Cover-up, still continues the robot theme: their version of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" imagines fighting robots rather than Russians and the album also includes a pretty kickin' version of "Mr Roboto" by Styx. But it just isn't Act III.
One day, I hope Act III will come. I'll be ready, although I suspect that the conclusion will not be a bright one for us meatbags. We are the dead.
In the meantime, here's Hope Rides Alone:
Which robot themed concept albums or soundtracks would you add to the list? I'd love to hear your suggestions!
There are a lot of brilliant one off robo-songs, and mech-inspired videos out there too. That might be a topic for another post…

FNUniv powwow celebrates 41 years
- EFN Staff | April 23, 2019
A young woman from the Star Blanket Cree Nation was crowned princess at this year's First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) annual powwow celebration in Regina.
Kaleigh Starblanket, 20, is a second-year university student studying business administration at FNUniv. When she heard her name being called as this year's FNUniv Princess, she was in shock as she didn't expect the recent win the title.
"I'm really happy and excited for the new year. I'm excited to travel and meet new people," she said. "Ultimately, I thought it would be a good challenge for myself as I have the fear of talking because I was ashamed of my voice and my speech impediment…I wanted to run because I thought it was important for my family. My grandparents that passed on, they were all-natural leaders and I felt it was important to fill my role."
Starblanket lost her grandfather last week, Noel Starblanket, who was a well-known respected elder and leader. Although she was still in grief, she was encouraged to continue running for the pageant knowing the spirit of her late grandfather was with her.
"When I did my speech, I kept thinking 'I'm not going to cry and break down because I'm strong.' I had my Starblanket family there and I'm really glad I pulled it together," she said. "It was really challenging these past couple of weeks to focus on school and prepare for the pageant. It was a hard week for me and my family. I'm overwhelmed with emotion and I still feel the grief. I have my first role as a leader but looking back at my grandparents' role, I just like I had big shoes to fill. In a way, I'm still coping but I'm also overjoyed."
Even the Chair of the FNUniv Powwow Committee had a joyous feeling from seeing another successful year of a good powwow celebration.
"I've been noticing a lot of non-Indigenous community wanting to be a part of the powwow," said Richard Missens, who has been the Chair of the FNUniv Powwow Committee for 15 years. "I got a call from one of the mosque's in the Muslim community. We invited them to be a part of our grand entry. I think what's part of that too is wanting to share and celebrate our Indigenous identity. This year, we had a tremendously diverse audience."
Missens said there were 20 drum groups that registered, over 690 dancers and 45 vendors which is one of their biggest numbers. This year marked 41 years since the FNUniv powwow was created.
