My friend Luke and I were having one of our movie nights, drinking a few beers/ciders, and as per usual I was whipping up a batch of mac n cheeze. We were wondering what it is about mac n cheeze that makes it such perfect comfort food, and landed on a theory that it's the creaminess, the stodginess and the simplicity of the stuff that really hits the spot. It's just the perfect anytime dinner, especially to share with friends so you can both 'ooh' and 'ah' as you're eating it!
Mac n cheeze and I have a long love affair. Sometimes, when I was young, my parents would ask my brother and I what we would most love to eat on Christmas Day, and once in a while our dream menu would come true. The most vivid memories for me of those fantasy dinners are the mac n cheeze ones, right down to the red and green peppers my Mum would add in for festive flair.
This got me to thinking about what my fantasy mac n cheeze dish would contain these days. Certainly no dairy cheese, and to be honest it's pretty great just with a beer, some good company and lashings of chipotle Tabasco. But I reckon that there's another key thing to consider…
Isabel from The Mighty Food Fight and I eat a fair amount of mac n cheeze (when we're not scoffing nachos, that is) and she's been loving the chipotle and miso version from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Post Punk Kitchen. It struck me: oh right, it's all about the umami, that's the key to mac n cheeze deliciousness. Umami, that wonderful fifth taste, which accounts for my love all of things fermented, Vegemite out of the jar and other more nefarious comestibles (BBQ Pringles anyone?!) And so a rich and tasty mac n cheeze recipe with all the spice, umami, crispy bits, pickled bits and greens was born…
Right there in that photo, that's my little gang of flavoursome umami additions. If you've not tried putting schichimi (on the left) or gochujang (on the right) on anything and everything I would definitely recommend it. Gochujang is a spicy umami paste made of red chillies and fermented soybeans, which is used frequently in Korean cooking. I'm pretty sure I came across it whilst working out of Sky Kong Kong, Bristol's organic Korean Cafe, last year. It's the perfect easy addition to mac n cheeze, and gives it warmth and a gentle savoury tap on the taste buds.
Schichimi is a spice mixture of ground chillies and sanshō ('Japanese pepper'), roasted orange peel, sesame and hemp seeds, ginger and seaweed and here I reckon it gives something extra to the coconut bacon topping I love so much. I picked up my spicy things from Wai Yee Hong in Bristol, and I think they should be simple to track down in any city.
Gochujang Mac n Cheeze with Miso Spinach, Pink Pickled Onions + Coconut Bacon
For the Mac n Cheeze
200g macaroni (for this recipe which serves two hungry humans)
200g cashew nuts (soak them for half an hour in boiling water if you don't have a blender that destroys iPhones… you know the one)
400ml water
5 tbsp nutritional yeast (or whatever you've got left, tbh if you leave it out it'll still taste great!)
2 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp gochujang
2 tsp vegan bouillon powder
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper (or however you like to season)
For the Pink Pickled Onions
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
6 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Pinch of sea salt
For the Coconut Bacon
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp schichimi
1 tsp smoked paprika
70g coconut flakes
For the Miso Spinach
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp miso
Juice of a lime
1 tbsp water
Two big handfuls of spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Pink Pickled Onions
- Combine apple cider vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
- Thinly slice half moons of red onion and submerge in the vinegar mixture. Set aside for a quick pickle.
Make all the sauces
- Combine all ingredients for the mac n cheeze in the blender, leaving out the macaroni of course, which you can pop in a pan ready to be cooked. Blend at an intensity and long enough for a smooth sauce to be formed.
- In a medium bowl mix all the ingredients for the coconut bacon, aside from the the flakes themselves.
- Once you've done this you can add the coconut flakes. Pre-heat the oven to 180C at this time too.
- In a small bowl combine these ingredients for the miso spinach: miso, water, lime juice and seasonings.
Get your mac n cheeze on!
- Start boiling the macaroni in the pan as everything is going to come together in the next ten minutes (during which time your mac will be cooked)
- Heat the sesame oil for the miso spinach at a low-medium heat in a frying pan or wok. Add the crushed garlic.
- Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Spread out the coated coconut flakes on the tray and pop in the oven. Pop a timer on for 4 minutes.
- Once the garlic in the frying pan has lightly browned throw in two handfuls of spinach and stir.
- When the coconut bacon timer goes off remove the tray from the oven and turn the coconut flakes. Place back into oven and set the timer again for 4 minutes.
- Continue to stir the spinach and as soon as it starts to wilt a little at the edges chuck the miso mixture into the frying pan and stir.
- The macaroni should be cooked at this point. Drain the water from the pan but keep the pan out and leave the hob on too, though on a lower heat. Return mac to the pan and stir in the cheeze sauce, popping back on the hob.
- When the coconut bacon timer goes off remove the tray from the oven and place on the side whilst you stir the mac n cheeze and spinach.
- Once the mac n cheeze has thickened (a couple of minutes) you can dish everything up, grabbing some pink pickled onions as the final garnish!

Senator Jan McLucas, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister and Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Carers, paid a visit to The Infants' Home today with Federal Member for Grayndler, Minister Anthony Albanese.
Senator McLucas and Minister Albanese spoke to our staff, and met children with additional needs who are involved in some of our early intervention programs.
Senator McLucas also spent some time explaining how the National Disability Insurance Scheme will operate.
The Infants' Home CEO, Anita Kumar, told the Senator and the Minister about our work with children in early education and early intervention.
Our Integrated Services Manager, Lynn Farrell, explained that children's rights are fundamental to The Infants' Home approach, along with a philosophy of integration, qualified staff, small groups of children and inclusive practices.
Anita said staff are always happy to talk to people about how – as an integrated service – The Infants' Home creates opportunities for young children and their families so they can reach their unique potential.
"We were delighted to see Senator McLucas and Minister Albanese at The Infants' Home," Anita said.
"We're proud of our work in this area, and the Senator and the Minister were inspired by the stories they heard."
Minister Albanese has been a staunch supporter of The Infants' Home and he was generous in his praise of our work.
"This is the perfect model here because of The Infants' Home's extensive links with the community and other early childhood services, and the amount of work they do themselves," the Minister said.
Every year, The Infants' Home provides early childhood education, early intervention, and specialist health services to over 1300 children from birth to school age. One-third of these children has additional needs or lives in vulnerable circumstances.

Tail Up, Missing the Point…December 13, 2012
I wrote a blog post the other day about the height off the deck of my prop when in flight attitude. The measurement was interesting with respect to how much clearance you have for a "tail up taxi."
I also created a thread on the BCP board and the C170 board. It was interesting to see the different thread migration, but on the C170 board, there was a visceral response.
There was a lot of, "I would never," and "this and that are stupid…" and "I don't go outside because I'm afraid of traffic…" I guess what was disappointing was seeing the narrow mindedness of some opinions clouding point that I was trying to make. To me, as a low time tail wheel pilot, and an even LOWER back country pilot, this was interesting data. Data that would be good for all of us to keep in the backs of our heads.
When I was learning to fly tail, I did a number of high speed taxi exercises from one end of the numbers to the other. In fact I still do it. Keeps me sharp. When I started landing in the grass and was bouncing the hell all over the place, I would often cringe thinking that the wheel landing was going to bugger the prop. My instructor kept saying, "don't worry…plenty of room."
As the hook sunk deeper and I started aspiring to operate in the really rough, my questions again came to the surface… How much clearance did I had between bushes, bumps, berms etc… How tall was too tall?
With the C170 project, I gained quite a bit of height adding the larger tires and C180 gear. When I transferred the tires over to the Skywagon, I grabbed a before and after measurement, and in going from 6.00×6 to the 8.5x10s, I gained 5 inches over stock at the axles, with a total 3 point deck to prop clearance of 30″. But what about the wheel landing? How much clearance then?
A weight and balance on a tail dragger is a perfect time to grab this measurement. As it's already in flight attitude, all you have to do is run the tape. In my case, leveled out as if in a perfect wheel landing, I had 18″ from deck to prop tip.
Now I know that taxiing around with the tail up could, by some, be seen as courting disaster. There are several vids on the web with guys digging holes in the tarmac with their props after showing off, but for every one of those, there are ten of a TW pilot looping his airplane simply trying to land. Net net… Flying is dangerous. But that wasn't the point of my post. The point of the post was to open one's mind to the outside parameters of the "safe zone."
Getting as much data about your machine and your flying helps you become a better pilot. Thinking outside the box, at least in principle, helps us become better. And better, makes us safer, and thereby allowing us to have more fun.
And if you taxi every once and a while with your tail up and crack a bit of a smile… Well maybe that's ok too.

"Giving has no end when done in love, even so when applied in married the same result will be obtained"
We shall end this series by looking at
- Give prayer and the word
"When couples give time to prayers together it will make their bond stronger"
Fellowship is important even the fellowship of prayer together as husband and wife, we won't do well in our marriages unless we learn to pray together by speaking to the Father together. We have to be deliberate when it comes to praying together. Never have a prayer life where you take an outsider to be your best prayer partner, it does not always work.
- Give love
"Marriage needs love, homes need to be built on love"
One of the problem of our time is strength to actually love one another, people have taken to looking outside their marriage, than looking inside their marriage. We don't need to look outside, when you look truly in your marriage there is a uniqueness in it that you have not found, a deep place that you have not known which need time to be discovered. Love is the true search to bring them out and as you give yourself to your marriage, those things will come out.
- Give room for offence
"Jesus said offence will come, so always expect it but use love to disengage it power in your marriage"
One of our major problem in marriage is that this one can not forgive that one, and that one can not forgive this one. Jesus said that offence will come and we need to prepare our heart for it by giving room for offence as scriptures said. You know the Bible says in many things we offend but if any man offend not in word the same is a perfect man. This means in the area of our words we are not yet perfected and thereby often may come but making room for it will help us not to be offended. When we learn to tame our tongue then we will be perfected in our words. Learn to forgive. What we all must say is this "my marriage MUST work" and always work towards it.

V vs Z: Oh, the stupidity
UPDATE: The full Vampires versus Zombies episode is available online here.
Much was made of Spike TV's truly stupid show, "Deadliest Warrior", which pits both real and fictitious characters against each others in a battle to see who is strongest. You know, who would be strongest in a totally scripted battle that likely ignores some attribute of either warrior ...
Not that I take issue with the sheer stupid premise of this creation. I'm a woman, I'm not Spike's target audience and I'm OK with that. Also, I don't have cable.
So yeah, the season finale that pits Vampires against Zombies? Not going to see it.
All that being said, I'm going to enter the fray of this absolutely ridiculous discussion as to why this whole thing is no contest. Who do I think wins? Vampires. Duh.
Let's compare our two creatures, shall we? We have two forms of undead, one rotting, one essentially living. Both require fresh human flesh/blood to continue survival. Zombies are a non-thinking, robotic entity, a shell of their former life incapable of plotting, digesting their opponents weaknesses, coming up with strategy, etc. Yes yes, it's becoming more popular to allow zombies to learn and evolve, but that's biologically ridiculous. They're dead. All of their functions are based on muscle memory and whatever small electrical impulses remain in their brains to keep those muscles working. Depending on your mythology, they may have extra strength and can rip you to pieces. However, they are also rotting and have a tendency to fall apart, especially if unfed. They do have a daylight advantage. They're main function: Eat flesh. Spread the virus.
Vampires are thinking, plotting, strategizing undead monsters. They will eat you, but they might torture you just for fun first. They have superhuman strength, sometimes claws (again, mythology differences), fangs for sure and crave human blood. Depending on your viewpoint, an unfed vampire will weaken, sometimes morphing into a strange, batlike creature that is actually a bit more crazy dangerous and has more in common with zombies (ala "Daybreakers" - awesome movie, btw). Where the Z man is all instinct, V has a bit of Freud's Id left, seeing what he wants and being able to figure how to obtain it. They're main function: Drink blood. Destroy humanity (maybe make some little vampire friends along the way. Can't live for eternity alone).
Killing both is easy: Zombies need to lose their heads and/or have brain destroyed. Vampires need their heart destroyed (or entire body -- via fire, daylight, etc.).
Who wins this? Obviously the creature capable of seeking out and methodically destroying his prey. Yes, zombies have a tendency to crowd and could overwhelm a weak vamp, but traditional zombies aren't actively seeking prey. They're just stumbling around, moaning a little, eating what comes by. Also, they wouldn't be seeking vampires because -- dum de dum -- they're dead. Zombies want living flesh. So their motivation to destroy a vampire is what now?
OK, so if you've seen the show, feel free to poke holes all you want to. We're always open to enthusiastic debate here on Warning Signs.
But please, let's just remember what we're discussing here: Unreal zombies killing unreal vampires. If you really are having the VvsZ debate after every episode of The Walking Dead as one article suggests, I have only one thing to say for you:
Get a life. And probably a girlfriend.

What is Ignition?
Ignition is a monthly leadership training night for youth (grades 6-12) who want to learn leadership skills and put them into practice. This is accomplished through training and practice.
Leadership Training
Every Ignition night involves training on a leadership topic. The goal is for youth to learn and think through leadership ideas to develop thorough understanding.
Leadership Practice
Students don't stop at training, because leadership doesn't happen in a vacuum. Using the youth ministry as the setting, each night involves a planning time during which the training topic is implemented within the youth ministry. Students are empowered with ways to use their leadership skills in the real setting of our own youth ministry.
2015-2016 Meeting Information
Meeting Dates and Times
In general, Ignition will meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month, from September through May, excluding December. Youth meet in the Youth House from 7:00-8:30pm. Specific dates:
- October 6 – "Leader: The Total Package"
- October 27 – "Fueled: Live with Intention"
- November 24 – "Execution: The Art of Getting Things Done"
- January 26 – "Vision: A 360 Degree View"
- February 23 – "Optimism: A Countercultural Mind-Set"

Is Attendance Required?
Like most of what we do, Ignition meetings will build upon each other. That means youth are encouraged to attend as many as they are able to make the most of the meetings. We will offer a special activity at the end of the school year for youth who have attended 6 or more Ignition meetings. This is a reward and a thank you to the students who have worked hard to be as involved as possible in Ignition.

Athens, Greece: Protests, Strikes Continue Amid Travel Warnings By Seo Manager
  in Travel | Published 2010-06-30 13:55:04 | 272 Reads | Unrated
The violence in Athens has worried many tourists traveling to Greece this spring and prompted several countries to issue travel warnings on Thursday.
Full ContentThe violence in Athens has worried many tourists traveling to Greece this spring and prompted several countries to issue travel warnings on Thursday.
The British Foreign Office issued a travel warning today, advising Britons to exercise "extreme caution" around public demonstrations and protests in major urban centers.
The U.S. State Department, meanwhile, has not issued a travel warning, despite the deaths of three bank workers and the burning of four buildings during recent protests in the Greek capita
Though no formal travel warning has been issued, the State Department is telling American tourist and travelers to avoid the areas of demonstrations and to get away quickly from the vicinity of a protest.
Tourists heading to Greece this summer can do a few things to keep in line with the State Department's recommendation.
Though protests may look chaotic to outsiders, most Greek demonstrations are scheduled far in advanced and well publicized.
Tourists can keep clear of demonstrations by monitoring them on the U.S. Embassy's Citizen Service page under demonstrations.
The page provides information about when and where a strike is taking place, and who is partaking in them.
The Embassy also points out areas where a protest is likely to occur and has advised visitors to be cautious around the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in central Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki.
Travelers with a flexible attitude can then adapt their itineraries to avoid protest locations and days.
During demonstrations, a good alternative for tourists in Athens is to visit towns further from the center of the city such as Glyfada or Vouliagmeni by the coast, or Kifissia or Penteli in the north.
Unfortunately, there is not much travelers in Greece can do about the closing of tourist sites during general strikes.
The best bet is to call sites ahead of time for opening hours and days or enlist your hotel or tour group to keep track of availabilities. For more information, visit petergreenberg.

History saw many different types of daggers, but this LARP Trident Dagger is definitely one that features a truly unique looking design. The unique shape makes it perfect for parrying and off-handed defense, although it serves well as a side-weapon, too. This weapon is modeled after one of the more ingenious daggers from history, some of which featured hinged blades that could be deployed when needed. Being made as it is, this dagger simply depicts the two hinged blades as permanently deployed, which creates a single combat blade, paired with two angled edges that are perfect for catching weapons. The weapon's guard has a downward curl that would make it quite effective, had the two extended blades not been open. The grip is wrapped to provide a secure hold and features a small, plain pommel. This dagger has a stunning and realistic look, and it is also perfectly safe to use in your next LARP battle, thanks to how it's made. It is constructed from an extremely durable foam that does not shred, which has been sealed within a strong coating of latex. As safety is always a concern in LARP, this weapon also features a round, flexible fiberglass core that bends and flexes. The core also features a durable Kevlar cap for added protection, both against the core and for when the weapon is used to stab.
Please note that the pommel and guard come in gold, silver, and bronze, while the handle color can vary slightly. We will send what is available unless you specify. If you would like to see what colors are available, please contact us before ordering.
The LARP Trident Dagger has an overall length of approximately 20 inches. Please be aware that this measurement can vary slightly, as it is a hand-made item.
Latex weapons do need to be maintained to a certain degree. We offer a Maintenance Silicone that can be purchased separately in the LARP Accessories section. We recommend that you use this Silicone on a regular basis. It is an easy, spray on application, and it will keep the coating flexible, which will make the weapon last much longer. The maintenance silicone also protects the coating from drying out, and helps the weapon resist general wear and tear from normal use.
Key Features:
- A Great Weapon for a Great Price
- High Safety Rating, Approved by the Top Organizations
- Features a Resilient Latex Coating
- Round Fiberglass Core is Flexible and Strong
- Core is Tipped with Durable Kevlar Protection
- Made from Durable, Closed Celled Foam That Does Not Shred
- Use of our Maintenance Silicone Ensures A Long Weapon Life and Durability
- Overall Length: 20 inches
Measurements will vary slightly, as these are hand-made items.

U.S. Suggests Tougher Sanctions on North Korea
The Background
North Korea's been on everyone's black list for years, but things have escalated in recent weeks. Even though China's been urging the U.S. to calm the eff down, they've actually gone and done the exact opposite, introducing a new bill yesterday that would impose the "toughest sanctions ever" on North Korea. If the bill passes through Congress, it would irritate NoKo's closest allies, including China, a country that's supposed to be hard at work reining in North Korea's unpredictable leader. USA Today
Why You Should Care
This conflict could literally spark World War III, as neither country seems to be backing down, while both continue to try and bully the other. North Korea's scary AF (especially their nuclear program) and since we're neighbours with the country they promised to reduce "to ashes," we're not exactly in the safest spot. Have more questions? Here's everything you need to know about this tiny demonic country.
The Gist
The U.S. introduced a new bill that would impose the "toughest sanctions ever" on North Korea, which if passed, is guaranteed to make them hella mad.

During his Thursday radio talk show, host Rush Limbaugh asked why the Clintons can get away with blaming their accountant for The Clinton Foundation taking major foreign donations from foreign governments, why can Tom Brady not get away with just blaming the ball-boys for the deflated footballs.
"If Bill Clinton can get away with blaming their accountant at the Clinton Crime Family Foundation. If Bill and Hillary can get away. If the Clintons can get away with it scot-free, then why can't Brady get away with blaming the ball boys? Do you realize more people care about whether or not the air in the AFC Championship Game are under-inflated than they care about Democrat vote-fraud and care about flooding the country with illegal aliens who are just going to add up to more Democrat party voters?"

Today was a day like any other day, if your days are full of kayaking, sharks, stingrays, crock-pot meals, pinnipeds, and Shubies. The Lady Coach nailed our breakfast of pigs in a blanket. Shortly after eating, the kiddos informed me it was time for a soak in the hot tub. So soak we did. To Coach's relief, the team then requested beach time. Gman and E both learned how to solo kayak today. It was tons of fun watching them figure out how to paddle and maneuver on the river. Gman took to it extremely well considering he spent most of our first kayak trip whining at Lady Coach.
During nap time Lady Coach did her workouts while Coach figured out that it is better to make each day's journal a separate blog post and consequently inundating TeamHovis followers with email. Sorry! I'm pretty sure Lady Coach was telling me to post the pic I was taking.
After nap it was time to visit the highly anticipated Ocean World. It was a great little aquarium on the edge of Crescent City. The big hits were the tide pool touch tank (filled with sea stars, baby rays, sea anemones, and sea urchins)
and the Pinniped show (harbor seals and sea lions). One thing we for sure came away from Ocean World knowing is that Lady Coach is very thankful humans give birth to live babies and not shark eggs. Yowsers!
The tour ended with a great photo op.
After the tour we headed into the gift shop where the children picked out their trip souvenirs. Some mighty good choices were made: stuffed mermaids with pink hair, light-up ninja swords, and a plush pink seal. To our great surprise however amidst all the kitch and plastic toys was a diamond in the rough. A prize beyond worth. BEHOLD…
That's right folks. The only college or team of any kind represented in the entire store. Don't ask me how or why but God has smiled on these people of Crescent City. Shown them the light. The rest of the evening was a total let down after finding these Salt and Pepper shakers. It mostly consisted of Ice Cream, Carlotte's Web the movie, and delicious crock pot chicken.

Blizzard's Overwatch has been a wildly successful game. There are several reasons for it's major success. First, it's a Blizzard game. There's no wrong Blizzard ever does. Second, it's a multi-racial, diverse game characters. Third, it has great game play, maps, game modes, and more. Fourth, the lore behind the game, which leads me to my fifth point which is, the voice actors.
The lore behind Overwatch is one of the strongest of it's kind. The character's all thrown into this game, with yes, amazing costumes and all sorts of diversity, but it's like Team Fortress 2 (as it's so often compared), where it's just a bunch of characters. Fortunately, because of the wild popularity, and the first one or two comics released online, the lore for the characters increased, rapidly. Ships (relationships) between characters were fantasized, lives of the characters were theorized, and even the relationship of the voice actor to the character was fantasized and even thought to play a role in the future lore of that character.
One of the most popular characters, D.Va, or Hana Song, has a chunk of the lore behind Overwatch. She is 19, a gamer, #1 Starcraft (another Blizzard game) in South Korea which is notorious for their e-sports community and ruling at it. She wears a skin tight spandex suit with her sponsors on her leg, and operates a large mecha. She is sassy, smart, cute, and witty.
D.Va's voice actress, Charlet Chung, fit's the bill perfectly as a real life D.Va. She is part Korean herself, and a gamer too. In this interview I was able to have with her this last Blizzcon 2016, I hear a little more about her, her connection to her character, voice lines, and some more interesting facts!

In Chapter 4, Amanda, George's daughter, goes on a picnic with two female coworkers, Rachel and Mei. She is trying to be friends with them, but relations degrade when Amanda makes a comment about the Animals In War Memorial that the girls do not appreciate.

County plans future of Kayak Point Park
Snohomish County Parks officials hope to make improvements to Kayak Point Park and have begun planning a vision for the future for the area.
Parks officials met with the public on March 9 to begin gathering feedback for a master plan for the park.
The process began when county officials were working at the beach/day-use area of Kayak Point Park and recognized some needs for the park, said Sharon Swan, a principal park planner at Snohomish County Parks and Recreation.
"The park was originally built and dedicated in the '70s and so it's well-used and well-loved, but there are some various issues that have come up that we wanted to address," she said.
Some locals said that there was some upkeep needed at the site.
"I haven't been here in years and it's a lot different from when I was a kid. I always had great memories, but it's good to see it's not completely run down. For $10 a day you'd think it would be a little more pristine though," said local Anthony Holly.
Swan said that improvements to the beach/pier area will likely come first, but county officials are now looking at expansions for the future as well.
"We want it to be a place that people can use and love well into the future. So we need to take care of the part people use now, which has some issues and positioning for future expansion," she said.
There has been interest in adding trails and more campgrounds, she said.
"We don't want to start doing that without having a vision for the whole park," she said.
"You just want to make sure you have a plan for the future so that when you develop something you're not precluding another use in the future," said Jim Brennan, a landscape architect at J.A. Brennan Associates, a Seattle landscape architect company who are developing a plan for the county.
Brennan said he hoped to keep the site's rural qualities.
"We know there's a lot of development coming to this area but [Kayak Point] still has, in our mind, a rural character," he said.
Additional trails and campsites are some of the biggest pieces that could help develop those qualities, he said.
The total number of campsites would be limited by the amount of staff available to take care of them, said Swan, but there is room to expand currently.
The current sites also need traffic improvements.
"Our existing campground was built in the '70s so a lot of the turning radiuses are not sized for the RVs we're seeing now," said Swan.
Brennan also sought input over whether the public preferred campsites that were isolated or close together, or something in-between those extremes.
Camping in the area is currently scarce, said Swan.
"It's nearly impossible to get a reservation in this area for camping once summer starts, so there's a lot of demand for it," she said.
The 300 acres of Kayak Point also have wetlands which Brennan said his team will preserve.
"We want to be good stewards of the land," he said.
Tanja Wilcox, a landscape architect at J.A. Brennan Associates, said that trails can cross the wetlands, "but you might need to do a little mitigation," she said.
Mitigation might include focusing some native planting around the trail areas, she said.
There is also a significant area of what appears to be old growth forest, untouched by logging, said Wilcox.
"We have walked through the areas and not seen any signs of stumps. They have these great big beautiful trees," she said.
"I'm pretty good at forest stuff and can usually tell if it's been logged and there were not any stumps," said Brennan.
Wilcox said there are many areas that have been more recently logged that could be developed while leaving the area of old growth untouched.
Another potential development for the park includes a community center, which could serve a number of functions for groups coming to Kayak Point, said Brennan.
Officials also took feedback on a number of other activities being considered including open meadow fields, kid's activity items and picnic shelters/tables.
More immediately though, Snohomish County officials are looking at improvements to the day-use area of the park.
This includes improving the boat launch, reconfiguring parking, providing additional recreational space and addressing some problems with the shoreline, said Swan.
Officials are now looking through design possibilities for the area. Once finalized, they "we will need to identify funding for the project," said Swan.
"It could be finished as early as 2019 depending on our grant cycles," she said.
The "logical next steps," said Swan, could be renovation of the ranger's office or expansions to the campgrounds.
"These will be approached piece by piece as we have funding available," she said.

Though we skipped one year, this year's Sullivan Roadhouse Annual Tea, held July 7, 2015, again, was a success. We would like to first to thank Yvonne Leavitt for spearheading the event. She gathered us ladies together and said, "We can do this!" And, we did! Thanks to all the volunteers.
The roadhouse and Nancy Williams greeted the ladies as they arrived to be seated at lace covered tables adorned with fresh garden flowers and pretty china place settings. Petite salmon, cucumber, and chicken salad sandwiches along with a variety of delicate sweets that delighted the palate were prepared by numerous volunteers: Lonnie Miller, Judy Bean, Yvonne Leavitt, Deborah Snyder, Shirley Wright, Terrie Crowson, Laurie Franks, Julie Gaaf, Carol Austin, Molly Jensen, Mary Lupo, Wilma Mitchel, Mimi Webb, Lucy Dunham, Addie Blum. Orange/cranberry scones graciously provided by the Whitestone kitchen. Thank you, Kathy Selvaggio. All of these were enjoyed while ladies sipped on their choice of teas served by our local cheerleaders: Kirsten Porter, Hannah Walker, and Eileen Pospisil. Thank you, Erin Dvorak, for coordinating their participation. Sirsha McPeek and DeeDee Webb were also helping to serve the tables.
We want to thank Libby Child as well for her donations to the roadhouse that were used to grace the tables. Rachelle Stebbins, thank you, for coordinating music and pianists whom with their talent provided an atmosphere for enjoyable conversation.
Door prizes and raffle drawing items were generously provided by Lou Ann Fett, Lisa Sturgis with Acacia Floral (also for being willing to sell the tickets again this year), IGA. Alaskan Steakhouse, Buffalo Center Drive-In, Delta Petro-Wash, Delta Building Supply, Beverage Cellar, IIona's Nail Salon, Delta Dentist, Jack's Liquor, Farmer's Co-op, Granite View, The Smiling Moose, Mollie Jensen, Judy Bean, Yvonne Leavitt, Chamber of Commerce, Alaska Four Company, GVEA, Laurie Frank, Julie Gaaf, Interior Hardware, Deborah Snyder, Video Store, and Calico Cow.
Shirley Beck and Anne Geise…thank you ever so much helping us clean up afterwards.
Cindy Blake wants to especially thank Alaska Flour Company, IGA, Jack's Liquor, and Video Unlimited for their donations.
If we forgot anyone, please forgive! A lot of effort was made to give the ladies of Delta Junction a couple hours of rest and enjoyment, and it would not have happened without everyone's cooperation. Yvonne reported that we were able contribute $1,500 plus to the maintenance of the Sullivan Roadhouse with this year's tea.
The question has been asked if we will do this again next year! We don't have an answer, but Yvonne words I am sure will ring in our ears as we contemplate another event, "We can do this!"
On behalf of all…
Deborah Snyder

Caddyshack is the ultimate golfer's cult movie. Released in 1980 and starring Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and others, the movie is unquestionably the raunchiest, funniest golf movie ever made. The Book of Caddyshack gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at this classic comedy and includes: Full descriptions of all scenes, with the main action plus what's going on in the background (and there's a lot going on!)

NOTE... the m2 build in trunk is already broken... this patches help FIX MANY OF THOSE PROBLEMS! Since the official build is still m1 and this will not affect the m1 build, I don't see why your point about breakage is applicable at all. When I first created the m1 build for Geronimo years ago there were certainly a few moments of breakage due to build changes, but since there was no commit by committee junk going on then it was easy to just fix when things happened to get a bit askew. The branch idea was just to make it easier to actually make progress, as I am move on this stuff way way faster than the lot of you can react to emails and JIRAs which often (as this one did) need several sets of emails to clarify. :-( --jason On Jul 3, 2006, at 11:31 AM, Jacek Laskowski wrote: > On 7/3/06, Alan D.

Tommy Rothery docked his Polaris Supreme after the annual George Davis Expedition with only eight anglers aboard. Rothery tied up at his space on the inner wing at Fishermans Landing, after ending his long range season on a positive note with a visit to Bajas southern banks and the Cleofas Bank, where all the fish that were kept were caught.
Polaris Supreme tied up after visiting Baja and Cleofas Bank. Best tuna was 245 pounds.
Four cows were among the fish offloaded January 13.
All the big fish were from Cleofas, said Tommy. We released about half the fish we caught there, and nearly everything, including 15 big tuna, we caught up above.
So many people put so much emphasis on their pile of fish at the dock, remarked Rothery. It disgusts me.
Tommy Rothery is a firm believer in releasing fish that aren't trophies or to be used as food.
Rothery and his anglers consistently release as many fish of all sizes as any other operation.
Charlie Middleton of San Pablo got two cows; one with a sardine and the biggest one on a chunk. His tuna weighed 201.4 and 245.6 pounds. He said he fished with 8/0 Gamakatsu hooks, 130-pound Maxima line and 130-pound Spectra backing on a Penn 80 SW reel and a new Ugly Stick 130-pound class rod.
Charlie Middleton got the heftiest cow: a 245-pound yellowfin.
That rod works good, said Charlie, who got his smaller fish in only 15 minutes.
Al Tokunaga of North Hollywood took a 232.4-pounder after a 30-minute tussle. He said the fish bit on a sardine pinned to a 9/0 Eagle Claw hook. He fished with 130-pound Momoi line and 130-pound Spectra, with a Cal Sheet-s prepped Penn 50 S reel and a Calstar 6455 XH rod.
Regular Polaris Supreme angler Al Tokunaga whipped this 238-pounder in a half-hour.
I used an eight-ounce torpedo sinker attached with a rubber band, noted Al. He bit right after daylight. They were down there about that time every day.
Roger Brown of Riverside bagged a 210.9-pounder with a mackerel on a 6/0 ringed Super Mutu hook. He said he fished with 100-pound Jin Kai line and 130-pound Jerry Brown Line One Spectra on a Tiagra 50 W reel and a Calstar 6455 XH rod.
Roger Brown watched as his 210-pound tuna whisked skipper Drew Henderson over the side during gaffing.
Browns fish was notable in that it fought for 35 minutes, and then pulled skipper Drew Henderson over the side when he single-gaffed it. They were both brought aboard without further incident.
Skipper Drew took a soaking, but had the last laugh on the tuna that got him wet.
Rothery noted that he will be doing boat work from now until May 31, when he will begin his summer season of three to five-day trips.

It's the first time home buyers that drive a housing market. Real estate investors know this and there is a trend in many parts of the country today where rental properties or investment homes are built from the ground up instead of trying to find existing real estate that needs some repairs and are building new homes to meet the first timer market. Why do real estate investors consider first timers the drivers?
It's really easy to figure out if you step back for a moment. The numbers will vary based upon who you ask but it is a generally accepted notion that home owners will keep their home for around seven years before moving up. Those same home owners need the equity in their existing home to be used for the down payment and closing costs on the "move-up" house. First time home buyers don't have that equity and like everyone else in the home buying arena must save up their own funds or otherwise find a source of funds to help them buy a home. Without first timers, there will be fewer second homes sold.
What can you do as a real estate investor to help these buyers fuel the real estate market? You can help them with their closing costs. If closing costs on a typical transaction are $3,000 you can offer to pay for those closing costs as part of the sales contract. To do this, your unit must be properly priced and a thorough evaluation of the local market needs to be considered using your real estate agent. You don't want to give anything away but you also want to facilitate the sale. There is a range where your new home is listed at the higher end of the first time home buyer range while still allowing you to contribute to the closing costs. If properties in the area are selling for between $100,000 and $110,000 you can decide to sell at $105,000 or at $108,000 with a seller contribution of $3,000. Done right, the math works the same.

Curiously Shakespeare
"... more than Prince of cats..."
Shakespeare in his time - and for ours...
"He was not of an age but for all time..."
[Ben Jonson, Shakespeare First Folio, 1623]
Dear Visitor,
Thank you for your interest in accessing our site. The courses have been operating under my tutorship for over twenty years, originally under the auspices of Warwick University's Centre for Lifelong Learning but in recent years, when the University withdrew all funding from such courses, privately.
My main aim is to approach the plays in an academically serious way but hopefully without being stuffy – there is certainly plenty of laughter as well as serious discussion in most sessions, I think.
The group has a very wide range in terms of academic background with some members with post-graduate qualifications and who have many years of experience of seeing and reading Shakespeare – more than I have, in fact – but others with very little so I try to start with the assumption that members will not be familiar with the play under discussion.
We start at the beginning of Act I Scene 1 and work our way through the play pausing regularly for me to explain any difficulties with the text and to raise other matters of interest. I tend to leave the reading aloud to the members but there is no pressure to read if members are not comfortable with it and there is usually someone who will choose to 'pass' when it would normally be their turn – and there is never any shortage of willing readers...! However, we are not primarily a play reading group and the quality of reading varies considerably.
As well as trying to show how the plays very often have things to say that are still very relevant to our own time I also try to look at the plays with reference to the time in which they were written and so I tend to distribute handouts fairly regularly to put aspects of the plays into historical and cultural context. You will be able to see some of this material by looking under individual pay titles given in the drop-down menu under 'More'
However, all you would need to bring to our sessions is a copy of the text. I recommend that members do
use a Complete Works but single editions of the plays. Complete Works are usually printed in minute fonts and without line numbers which makes cross-referencing difficult. Several members use the Penguin editions but these – though popular with RSC actors – have notes at the back which are not convenient for speedy reference. I also recommend that members choose an edition that has numbered lines for convenient cross-referencing. The Arden edition (Third Series, where available) is perhaps the most scholarly edition but the New Cambridge and Oxford editions are also very good. All of these have notes at the bottom of the page and are therefore easy to use for reference purposes. I would
recommend the Cambridge Schools Shakespeare which is primarily for practical work in the Drama Studio. Personally, I tend to use the New Cambridge although I refer to other editions when preparing.
We usually break for coffee & cake or scones etc. from the excellent café at the Friends (in Warwick) at about 11.00 and we resume between 10-15 minutes later. Some members choose to stay on for lunch at the café after we have finished for the day. In Stratford we have access to a kitchen area and tea/ coffee will be available at no charge.
The fee for the 10-week courses (autumn and spring terms) is currently £70.00 and for the 5-week summer term £35.00. Most members choose to pay by cheque at the first meeting of term (cheques payable to 'L. C. Green') but several choose to pay in cash in which case I issue a receipt. Given the current 'squeeze' on incomes, I have also introduced the option to pay the fee in instalments in any way convenient to the individual (post-dated cheques, weekly, monthly etc.).
Normally in autumn and spring terms we take a half-term break which usually matches the Warwickshire schools' half term but the short 5-week summer term has no break.
