According to new court records reviewed by DailyMail, Nickelodeon, the child and youth programming channel, was infiltrated by at least FIVE pedophiles along with two more accused who were working on set with kids.
Molesters include:
Marty Weiss, a talent manager who placed clients on top Nickelodeon shows, was convicted for “lewd acts” with a 12-year-old male client.
Ezell Channel, 54, was convicted in 2003 for ‘lewd acts’ with a child under 14. He was released on probation less than two years later, and then later hired as a production assistant at Nickelodeon despite his conviction. He was later arrested for sexually assaulting an underage teen at the studio.
Jason Handy was a Nickelodeon production assistant who had sexual contact with a 9-year-old girl.
Cody Longo, late star of TeenNick 2012 show Hollywood Heights, was accused of sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl in Colorado in 2019 and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge two years later.
Brian Peck, a Nickelodeon dialogue coach and actor who molested child star Drake Bell when he was 15, went on to work at Disney after his conviction.
Former Nickelodeon adult performer Joby Harte, 42, was found liable for repeatedly sexually abusing Disney star and Forever In Your Mind boyband member Ricky Garcia.
Corey Feldman and others have been attempting to expose Hollywood’s pedophile problem for years. How many others are out there?

Joe Lieberman brings back all the Clinton years. May he RIP.

When I was in high school we lived in an area of Rhode Island called Gaspee Plateau, so named because it is where colonial patriots attacked the HMS Gaspee (https://ushistory.org/declaration/related/gaspee.html
). To this day, we Rhode Islanders celebrate Gaspee Days, which acknowledge the actual “first shot heard ‘round the world.” The road at the bottom of our street was Narragansett Parkway, named after the Bay where the Gaspee was lured to run aground. During Gaspee Days, the dividing line on Narragansett Parkway is painted red, white, and blue. Rhode Island is a special place to live, and I am proud of my heritage there, not the least because we Rhode Islanders love our proud history.

Captain Abraham Whipple runs the USS Columbus aground
On this day in history, March 27, 1778, Captain Abraham Whipple runs the USS Columbus aground. Whipple was one of the most prominent American seamen of the Revolution. He grew up in the heavily shipping-oriented city of Providence, Rhode Island and became captain of his own ship in his 20s. When the American Revolution drew near, Whipple led the expedition of citizens from Providence that destroyed the HMS Gaspee, whose captain had been harassing colonial shipping in Narragansett Bay.
In June, 1775, Rhode Island created the first American navy and Whipple was given command of the lead ship, the Katy. Within days, Whipple had fired the first shot of the war at a British vessel and taken the war’s first British prize when he captured the armed sloop Diana. Soon, Congress built its own navy and Whipple was appointed captain of the 24 gun frigate Columbus. His first mission was to sail with Commodore Esek Hopkins (his cousin) to the Bahamas, where they captured a large trove of military supplies and the Royal Governor of the colony.
Whipple then sailed the New England seas, capturing British ships. Eventually, he was given orders to oversee the outfitting of two new ships in Newport and to clean up the Columbus. On March 27, 1778, the Columbus was chased by a British squadron and forced Whipple to run her aground. Whipple and the sailors escaped, but the British burned the ship. Whipple then received orders to break the blockade of Narragansett Bay to take news of the American victory at Saratoga to France. Whipple successfully broke the blockade by stealth at night and damaged several British ships along the way.
After his successful return, Whipple was given command of a 3 ship squadron. In April of 1779, they came across a British fleet of 60 ships in the fog off Newfoundland, laden with supplies from Jamaica. Whipple’s small fleet didn’t have time to escape, so Whipple ordered them to raise British flags and sail along with the fleet. By this trick, his small fleet began capturing ships one by one through various subterfuges, until 11 ships were captured! When they returned to Boston with their prizes, valued at over a million dollars, Abraham Whipple became a celebrity to the point that songs were written about him.
Congress next sent Whipple to reinforce Major General Benjamin Lincoln at Charleston, South Carolina. When Whipple arrived there, his fleet was quickly blockaded by British ships in the harbor and could not get out. When the city was captured in May, 1780, Whipple was among the thousands of Americans taken prisoner. He spent the next 2 1/2 years as a prisoner and was finally released in late 1782. After the war, Whipple sailed to London on a merchant voyage and became the first person to raise the American flag there, and on a ship with George Washington’s head on the bow no less.
Whipple made an attempt at farming in Cranston, Rhode Island, but eventually moved to Ohio with his son-in-law. They became some of the original founders of Marietta, Ohio, and lived there for the rest of their lives. In 1801, Whipple made history yet again when he sailed the first merchant ship built on the Ohio River down the Mississippi to New Orleans and on to Cuba.

“Former Sen. Joe Lieberman, 82, dead today after a fall at home.”
The name Joe Lieberman brings back a LOT of memories during the 2000 election. Even though he was on the wrong side, may he RIP.
Culinary Corner
(Cotton’s request re: spring roll)
Fillings for spring rolls
1- Any combination, any amount, add or admit some ingredients
2- egg roll or spring roll wrappers (spring rolls more delicate & rip easily)
3- pre- cook or leave raw veggie ingred( many spring rolls are not cooked
4 - decide cooking method: pan fry, deep fry, bake, air fryer
Dipping sauce ideas numerous. My favorite is bottled sweet chili sauce
Possible ingred and suggested amount
1.5 c broccoli slaw or regular coke slaw.
*1 c shred carrot
*1/2 c slivered almonds
*1/4 c daikon slivered(white radish)
*.1/4 c slivered water chestnuts
*1/2 c julienne orange / red pepper
* 1/2 bean sprouts
*1/2 c slice scallions
1 C chopped mushrooms
*1 c brown rice or rice vermicelli or glass noodles
cooked & coarse chop
*for non cooked spring rolls avocado
* spices of choice added to other food you’ll used mixed in bowl
Curry, Ginger, garlic, turmeric, cumin, Chinese 5 spice etc. add what you like)
(When I make for others add 1 c cooked coarse chop shrimp, minced pork , shredded crab or shredded chicken and use egg roll wrappers as they are heavier and sturdier)
Here are some sites with more ideas and methods. There’s no right or wrong. Nor authentic. In varied countries and regions there are variations
