Northern District Fishing Report
For the week of July 18-24
Ocean: Once again, offshore anglers had excellent fishing results on most trips. Those fishing offshore out of Hatteras caught their limits of bailer dolphin along with a few gaffersl. Wahoo, blackfin tuna, Atlantic bonito, little tunny and skipjack tuna were caught moderate numbers, as well. Billfish releases were mostly sailfish, but there were a few scattered marlin. Bottom fishing continued to be consistent. Catches included triggerfish, tilefish, amber & almaco jack, yellowedge grouper and blackbelly rosefish. Nearshore anglers caught plenty of spotted seatrout and weakfish on most trips. Moderate numbers of bluefish, Spanish mackerel and red drum were also caught. Those fishing offshore out of Oregon Inlet caught some large yellowfin tuna (most in excess of 50 pounds) on a daily basis. Dolphin, blackfin tuna, bigeye tuna and a few citation-size wahoo were also caught. Billfish catch and release action was almost exclusively white marlin. Nearshore anglers out of Oregon Inlet were almost guaranteed to catch bluefish and Spanish mackerel. They also caught a few cobia, amberjack, red drum, king mackerel, cutlassfish and undersize striped bass.
Central District Fishing Report
For the week of July 18-24
Ocean: Wahoo fishing definitely picked up, and a good percentage of the offshore fleet came back with double-digit numbers of fish, including some citation-sized fish. A handful of dolphin and blackfin tuna were landed, as well. A few anglers managed to land some sailfish. Those fishing the bottom had good catches of grouper, amberjack, triggerfish, black sea bass and vermilion snapper. Large Spanish mackerel made a good showing for anglers drifting live bait over the artificial reefs, but mixed in with the Spanish were a bunch of undersized king mackerel.

I have another question about that cheese powder - how do you do it? Do you just add it to the noodles with a little milk and butter? Or just some water? Or do you have to use it to make a sauce first? My littlest is a mac 'n cheese fanatic, but nobody else in my house really likes it. The regular boxes at the grocery store makes way too much for just him (and I end up eating the leftovers ) and I hate all the packaging that the individual servings have.
I plan to use it just like in the boxed mac n cheese - add the butter and milk or sour cream or whatever to it.
The one I am going to get next time we order is either # 2850, or 2399. Definitely a white cheese powder as I find the orange mac n cheese stains my kids' clothes.

For foaming soap, it's not the soap that makes the difference, it's the container. So, if you use like less than 1/2 inch of soap in the bottom of the container, fill with water and leave a bit of room at the top for air. You can use any brand liquid soap and it's way cheaper that way too.
Granules rehydrate into garlic. It's got a stronger and better flavor than garlic powder.
Also, if you're going to be adding it to something that doesn't have enough liquid to rehydrate it while cooking, you have to rehydrate it first. I just do it in a tea cup.

In the Simply Organics stuff - with the seasoning packets, spice bottles, etc that says 6/case and then the wholesale and retail prices... do you have to buy 6? Or can you just get 1-2? I never see any fills for Frontier and have been wanting to try some of this stuff but have been nervous about maybe getting stuck buying 6.
I was wondering the same. And today I was looking on the website and only found the popcorn topping cheese powder... Is that what you all are referring to? I really need to try this... And if it comes out anything like Annie's, I will be hooked. DD is a mac+chs fanatic, (as am I ) but the Annie's is pretty pricey unless I go to walmart. and I hate walmart... :

Oct. 13, 1970 E. 'r. HARKLESS OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT Filed Sept. 27, 1968 /Nl/ENTOR E 7; HAR/(LESS ATTORNEY 3,534,293 OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT Earl T. Harkless, Fair Haven, N.J., assignor to Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated, Murray Hill, N.J., a corporation of New York Filed Sept. 27, 1968, Ser. No. 763,138 Int. Cl. H03]: 7/14 US. Cl. 331-107 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A microwave oscillator circuit comprises a transmission line coaxial cable having a negative resistance diode mounted at one end and a dissipative impedance connected across the other end. A resonator is coupled at one end to a mid-portion of the transmission line and at the other end to a waveguide that transmits output energy to a load. The resonator is appropriately located with respect to the diode to feed back energy to the diode to maintain oscillation at the desired frequency while permitting undesired frequency components to be transmitted by the transmission line to the dissipative impedance.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to oscillator circuits, and more particularly, to oscillator circuits using negative resistance devices.
A negative resistance oscillator basically comprises a negative resistance device connected through a resonator tuned to the desired frequency to a load having a positive resistance seen by the device that is equal in magnitude to the negative resistance of the device. Typical examples of negative resistance devices used for generating microwave oscillations are the IMPATT diode, Gunn-efi'ect diode, tunnel diode and LSA diode. With the possible exception of the Gunn-effect diode, these devices all require that energy be fed back to the diode terminals in synchronism with current through the diode to maintain continuous oscillation generation. Unfortunately, even when design precautions are taken, frequencies other than the desired frequency may be applied across the diode, causing frequency instability; that is, the appropriate conditions for oscillation may occur at frequencies radically different from the desired frequency. This susceptibility to frequency instability appears to be particularly true of IMPATT diodes, although it is also true of other negative resistance devices, and even self-contained oscillator devices such as the magnetron.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the invention, a negative resistance device is located at one end of a first transmission line with the other end of the transmission line being terminated in a matched refiectionless dissipative impedance. A resonator tuned to the desired oscillation frequency is coupled to the first transmission line at a location appropriate for reflecting back energy to the diode to maintain oscillations, and also to a second transmission line that transmits output energy to a load.
While the resonator reflects part of the energy of the desired frequency back to the diode and directs part of it to the second transmission line, it does not affect energy at the other frequencies which is transmitted by the first transmission line to the dissipative impedance. Thus, in addition to constituting the external resonator of a negative resistance oscillator, the resonator also acts as a frequency selective signal splitter to prevent undesired frequencies from being transmitted to the load or reflected toward the negative resistance device, thereby "nited States Patent O reducing or eliminating the build-up of oscillations at undesired frequencies.
While the invention was stimulated by the problem of frequency instalibities in IMPATT diodes, it has potential utility in conjunction with virtually any kind of oscillator. Even if the oscillator at the end of the first transmission line is self-contained and the resonator is not part of the oscillator, it still promotes frequency stability by directing only energy at the desired frequency to the load.
These and other objects, features and advantages will be understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing which is a schematic illustration of a negative resistance oscillator circuit in accordance with the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring now to the drawing there is shown an oscillator comprising a negative resistance diode 11 connected to one end of a coaxial cable 12, the other end of the cable being terminated by a dissipative impedance 13. A resonant cavity 15 is coupled to the coaxial cable by a coupling slot 16 and to a waveguide 17 by a coupling slot 18. The waveguide is connected at one end to a load 20 and has a sliding short circuit tuning plunger 19 at its other end.
A tuning screw 21 is used in a known manner to adjust the resonant frequency of resonator 15 to the frequency f desired for transmission to the load 20. The tuning plunger 19 is used to match the impedance of the load to that of the diode 11; that is, to make the magnitude of the positive resistance of the load as seen by the diode substantially equal to the negative resistance of the diode. The coupling slot 16 is designed and located in a known manner such as to reflect part of the energy from the diode at the desired frequency back to the diode, while directing part of it into the resonator and then to waveguide 17 for transmission to the load.
Only energy within the bandwidth of the resonator is reflected by the resonator or transmitted through the resonator to the load. Energy at other frequencies is transmitted along the coaxial cable 12 to be dissipated by the dissipative impedance 13. Hence, in addition to constituting the external resonator for the negative resistance oscillator, the resonator 15 also constitutes a frequency selective signal splitter for directing the desired oscillations at frequency f to the load and the remaining oscillations to the dissipative impedance.
Diode 11 is preferably an IMPATT diode which is a semiconductor device having a p-n junction and a current transit region included between opposite contacts. An applied direct current voltage biases the junction to avalanche breakdown, thereby creating current pulses, each of which travels across the transit region within a prescribed time period. The transit time of the diode is arranged with respect to the resonant frequency of the external resonator such that radio-frequency voltages at the diode terminals are degrees out-of-phase with the current pulses in the diode. Consequently, at appropriately applied frequencies, the current through the terminals increases as the terminal voltages decreases, thus meeting the conditions for negative resistance. In the circuit shown, the diode is biased by a D.-C. source 22 that supplies D.-C. current, part of which is ultimately converted by the diode to radio-frequency energy.
The precise location of slot 16 required to reflect oscillations of frequency f to the diode for applying the appropriate R-F voltages for IMPATT operation is dependent on the circuit and diode parameters, and any description of the actual spacing would be meaningless in the absence of a complete specification of the circuit and diode, including the configurations of slots 16 and 18. In models made thus far, coupling slot 18 was designed to reflect back to the diode about 90 percent of the incident R-F power, as is convenient for IMPATT diode operation, while slot 16 Was designed to control resonator noise and bandwidth. A detailed discussion of these and other parameters would require an extensive mesh circuit analysis which, since it involves only known design procedures would not for present purposes be justified.
If a self-contained oscillator such as a magnetron were used in place of diode 11, the cavity resonator 15 would not be required for maintaining oscillations but would perform only the function of a frequency selective signal splitter. This being the case, it would not be necessary to design coupling slot 18 to reflect energy at frequency 1 back toward the oscillator device; rather it would be designed to transmit all or nearly all of the desired frequency oscillations to the waveguide 17. In any case, the dissipative impedance 13 should be designed to match the coaxial cable impedance at all frequencies which the oscillator is capable of generating in order that none of the undesired frequencies be reflected. For this purpose, a coaxial cable is the preferred high frequency transmission line because it can easily be terminated with a broadband reflectionless load. The coaxial cable 12 may conveniently have a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms with dissipative impedance 13 also being 50 ohms to give refiectionless dissipation over virtually all frequencies.
The foregoing description is intended to be merely illustrative, and various other embodiments and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

In 2013 the Government put aside $2.3 billion in its budget for rebuilding Christchurch's quake-damaged horizontal infrastructure.
Fast-forward 12 months and that figure has dropped to $1.8b - a $567 million decrease.
Opposition MPs claim the drop is a financial sleight of hand aimed at making the Government's books look healthier but the Government says it is simply a more accurate reflection of the true costs.
The city council is sticking to its long-held position that the costs of repairing the city's horizontal infrastructure will end up being much higher than predicted - a position backed up by its independent auditors KordaMentha, who identified a funding shortfall of $413m.
Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee has called in his own advisers, Morrison Low, to review the council's figures. Their findings are due soon.
In the meantime Labour MPs are leaping on Brownlee, accusing him of taking money out of the Budget at the cost of the rebuild.
Labour's Canterbury rebuild spokeswoman Ruth Dyson says the figure has been revised down solely to make the Government's surplus look possible.
"The numbers in the Budget are flaky, and have been revised without any robust costing to make the surplus look better rather than as an accurate reflection of what our infrastructure is going to cost," she says.
But Christchurch Central Development Unit director Warwick Isaacs says the new figures were arrived at through revised estimates of infrastructure costs and changes to which of the repair projects are subject to the cost-sharing arrangement with the Crown.
He says $239m of the $567m taken out of the budget is due to the Crown lowering how much it expects the infrastructure repairs to cost.
The remaining $328m is due to changes to which horizontal infrastructure projects the Crown is required to contribute funds to, and which ones will be solely funded by the city council.
The Government's overall contribution of $1.8b is in line with the figure outlined in the formal Cost Sharing Agreement signed with the council last year, Isaacs maintains.
Until it becomes clearer whose figures are right - the council's or the Crown's - neither party is prepared to discuss how the Cost Sharing Agreement may need to be altered.

Originally posted on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/1/12
Tenacious defense has been the calling card of the UW-Milwaukee men's basketball team all season. Lately, the Panthers have been shooting the threepointer as well as any team in college basketball , too. It's a combination that's hard to beat. Just ask Illinois-Chicago, which got run over in a firstround Horizon League tournament game at the Klotsche Center on Tuesday night. The Panthers (20-12) held the Flames to 14 points on 22.2% shooting in the first half, made 11 of 25 three-point shots in the game and cruised to a 68-55 victory. The Flames (8-22) scored the first two points, which might have been their biggest highlight of the night. Milwaukee then went on a 34-4 run highlighted by 3 threepoint plays by senior guard Ryan Allen and 7 three-pointers. The 6-foot-3 Allen added an exclamation mark with a monster two-handed dunk on a breakaway. "It's a great feeling," said junior forward James Haarsma. "It's what you work for every day, is to get on runs like that and get sto...

Pac-12 rejoins list of country's elite conferences
After a strong run in the mid-2000s, the Pac-12 has been a "power" men's basketball conference in name only.
Things got so bad that when Washington won the conference in 2012 with a 14-4 record, the Huskies were left out of the NCAA tournament, indicating a level of national respect on par with the Southland Conference or Patriot League.
But the Pac-12 is back, something Washington State will find out today when the Cougars face No. 1 Arizona. The Wildcats have borne the conference's standard in November and December, heading a group of teams that have shown that the West Coast is once again a college hoops destination.
"The depth of the conference has never been better since I've been the head coach at Arizona," coach Sean Miller said. "I just feel like every game that you play is going to be a real test. It's going to be difficult to win any game on the road."
Jabari Parker of No. 7 Duke may be able to enter an NBA starting lineup and not look out of place, but he couldn't beat Arizona. Nor could Michigan, UNLV or any other team that tried.
"They've put themselves in a position where once conference play begins and the schools are beating each other up a little bit, as long as the right schools are beating each other up, they come out of conference play in good shape," said Ernie Kent, who coached at Oregon and is a Pac-12 Networks analyst.
It's easy to see why the conference went from the forefront of the national conscious to an afterthought at best. West Coast basketball became a force because of star players like O.J. Mayo, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Jerryd Bayless and the Lopez twins.
None of those players made it to their junior year, however. Each opted to enter the 2008 NBA Draft as underclassmen and all were selected in the first round. The conference had 12 players drafted that year, and nine the next, as such cornerstone players as Jon Brockman and James Harden ascended to the next level.
That exodus of talent crippled the conference for years. But the early evidence is that players like UA's Aaron Gordon, Brandon Ashley and Nick Johnson; Arizona State's Jahii Carson; Colorado's Spencer Dinwiddie and others have replenished the talent coffers.
Even the conference's lesser teams have more playmakers than in the past.
"Oregon State shouldn't be down. They're as talented as anybody else in their personnel," Kent said.
The result is a more competitive conference, one that has acquitted itself well on the national stage. And Pac-12 teams haven't shied away from competition.
"I think playing good competition allows the truth to be revealed more readily in different aspects about your team," said ASU coach Herb Sendek.
Not every team has been successful. The Huskies dropped both attempts to pick up a quality win against UConn and San Diego State, and are suddenly one of only two five-loss teams in the conference. The other is WSU, which picked up a pair of losses in the talent-filled Old Spice Classic in Orlando.
Those efforts have still benefitted the Pac-12 as a whole, however, which ranks fourth overall in conference RPI.
"It makes it hard, but it's a good hard," said Beavers coach Craig Robinson. "Because you get more opportunities to get some of those showcase-type wins against ranked competition. For everybody, the conference is tougher, even the guys at the top."

In 1905 in a small Midwestern town, the wife of a local doctor gives birth to a baby boy, Joseph Taylor Jr. Allegro chronicles nearly four decades in the life of this average Joe - through his childhood, from college dorm to marriage altar, and on to his own medical career; from the tranquillity of his hometown to the hectic din of big city life and a mid-life discovery of who he is and what his life is truly about, ultimately learning the most important lessons of all - the value of family, that money isn't everything and that home really is where the heart is. With a gorgeous, epic score by Richard Rodgers and a ground-breaking book by Oscar Hammerstein II, Allegro opened in 1947 to the highest advance in Broadway history.

Award winning musical. Assassins is a twisted celebration of America, "a land where any boy can grow up to kill a president". This show explores the motives of nine individuals who attempt to assassinate American presidents. Through Sondheim's witty lyrics and emotive score, it exposes a sinister underside to the American Dream. Compelling, innovative and yet disturbingly funny, this is one of the most controversial musicals ever written.
Rethink the fraught subject of assisted suicide through music, comedy, spectacle and shared humanity. Assisted Suicide: The Musical subverts conventional notions of choice, dignity, compassion and quality of life from the perspective of disabled activist, actor, artist and comedian Liz Carr. In 2015, MPs voted overwhelmingly against legalising assisted suicide. Opinion polls would have you believe that the majority of the UK population believe it's a humane choice to legalise assisted suicide for terminally ill or disabled people, but Liz Carr, and many other disabled people disagree. Confronting the lack of creative work exploring this most topical taboo, she joins director Mark Whitelaw, composer Ian Hill and a cast of actors to express an important and often unheard perspective - through the medium of musical theatre.

But of course the show must go on, and so it does in a resolution of comeuppance, reconciliation and romance.

By the time she reached her twenties she had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll from Aretha Franklin to the Monkees, the Drifters, to the Shirelles. But it wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history.

A life-affirming and funny coming-of-age story which follows Viveca, a bright girl from a black middle class family in LA, who dreams of becoming a dancer.

Edges follows four twenty-somethings as they teeter on the edges of their lives. Written while they were still students at the University of Michigan, this contemporary song cycle confronts the trials and tribulations of moving into adulthood, figuring out how and who to be. The collection of songs interweaves the lives of two men and two women, and speak as much of such universal issues as love, loss, commitment, identity, ambition, growth, and connection, as the obsessions of youth. Each song stands as a story in itself: a son rages against his father, a woman lies next to a lover she doesn't quite love, and all the characters find themselves in front of a computer on a Friday night, desperate not to be alone. Each character and each song is vivid, imaginative and utterly relatable as they explore the full, messy range of this fraught decade. We've all been there... or we'll all be there: such is the draw of this moving, funny, compelling musical, whether you are 26 or 96.

Freud The Musical is a one-woman show about sex, madness and medicine. Based on the true-life account of Sigmund Freud's cocaine addiction this comedy gleefully annihilates the father of modern psychology. The show upends our conventional ideas about mental illness and sexuality in a flurry of cross-dressing and dick jokes. Natasha Sutton-Williams gives a fearless performance, playing the bombastic and desperately addicted Freud, his imaginary cat friend Oedipussy and his patients, from the raging lesbian Dora to Little Hans, the original Freudian motherfucker.
