Best fishing spots
April 26, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Fishing, whether for food or for sport, is a fantastic hobby and outlet for any person. Fishing is like meditation for the manly. It not only immerses yourself in nature, but gives you a peaceful and relaxing environment for you to think or just clear your mind. I started fishing when I was only 5 years old and I have not stopped since. Now, I always find time to go fishing at least once a week and I usually go every day in the summer. Because of this addiction, I have compiled the best fishing spots in the area for anyone who wants to try out this entertaining activity.
President's Landing:
This Lansbrook neighborhood is a safe haven for bass fisherman. With over 10 stocked ponds, this community is a great place for anyone looking to catch some bass or catfish. Using corn or worms, any pond in this neighborhood is a guaranteed catch. As a resident of President's Landing, I know that this is one of the best spots in the area. I have caught the majority of my catches in these ponds. The only downside to this neighborhood is that some residents tend to be more hostile toward fisherman, so be careful!
East Lake Woodlands:
This area, like President's Landing, is a rich neighborhood stocked with plenty of bass. Its vast golf course contains a multitude of healthy ponds that are perfect for fishing. The only trick to fishing this community is getting past the gate person. My method is to say I'm going to "John Stevens" house.
Dunedin Causeway:
This beach paradise is what saltwater fishermen dream of. Its double-sided coastal cutoffs make it accessible and easy for any fisherman. Live or artificial shrimp will produce consistent catches with little effort. Plus, the view isn't so bad either.

Required Viewing: Barry Schwartz, "Our Loss of Wisdom"
Direct Link: http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_our_loss_of_wisdom.html
Required Work:
Much of what Schwartz says would have been agreeable to ancient Greek followers of Plato and Aristotle. Consider his remarks—especially about how rules and incentives encourage mediocrity, and hamper wisdom and moral judgment carefully. Think about this video, and what you learned from the reading by Hannah Arendt about the role of the polis in Aristotle's ethics. What lessons might Marygrove College learn from Schwartz as it develops its urban leadership focus? What lessons might the city of Detroit learn? All things considered, do you agree with what Schwartz says? Why or why not?
Give careful reasoning all throughout this task and support your points using cogent arguments, try to go beyond just stating personal opinions.
Your answer should be 250-500 words in length. Give your own opinion, but try to base your answer on what you take to be the case from an objective point of view rather than on pop-psychology or personal narrative.
This assignment is due to the instructor by noon, tomorrow, February 25, 2016, via Marygrove email (ude.evorgyram|nosrettaps#ude.evorgyram|nosrettaps). Late assignments will not be accepted for any reason. This is a credit/no credit assignment. See the assignments section of the syllabus if you don't know or have forgotten what this means.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Gonzaga University's men's and women's rowing teams will get their first outside competition of the season Saturday when the Bulldogs host Washington State University for the Head of the Spokane.
Racing at the Gonzaga Boathouse near Upriver Dam begins at 9:30 a.m.
It's also Parents' Weekend, with Class Day Races at the Boathouse scheduled to start Sunday at 10 a.m.
Director of Rowing and men's head coach Dan Gehn and women's head coach Glenn Putyrae are looking forward to not only the weekend, but the season.
"We're looking at integrating our sophomores into the varsity boat after a great season last year," Gehn said of his short-term goal this fall. "We're looking to build some consistency."
Putyrae has a similar outlook for the weekend.
"It's time to put into a race situation what we've been practicing to figure out what works," Putyrae said. "Plus, the Cougars are tough and it's always a challenge."
Both teams are coming off some outstanding success in 2006. Gonzaga's men's Freshman 8+ finished fourth in the Third Final, placing the Bulldogs 16th overall in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) National Championship. The Bulldogs Varsity 4+ took fourth in the IRA, the highest finish ever for a Bulldog boat.
Gonzaga's women's Novice 8+ claimed the Pacific-10 Conference and Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association (WIRA) titles. The Bulldogs also placed their Varsity 8+ and JV 8+ boats into the WIRA Grand Final, both boats claiming third. All three boats captured WIRA titles in 2005.
Gehn and Putyrae are both excited about the competition for seats within their respective teams.
"We have close to three full varsity eight boats," Gehn said. "It's been great competition and the seats are wide open. We've mixed some boats, we've had some heat races and there have been a few surprises."
The Bulldog women also have some battles brewing.
"We have three varsity eight boats and the competition is outstanding," Putyrae said. "We'll race a couple of different combinations this weekend."
Both programs will also look to returning seniors for leadership.
"We have senior co-captains Matt Wernette and David Hinshaw returning, as well as senior Derek Clemmensen," Gehn said. "They will set the tone for the rest of the team."
Hinshaw and Wernette were juniors in the Varsity 4+ last season from a boat that lost just one senior in stroke Connor Barry.
Seniors Nicole Aadland-Lewis and Jessica Kocarnik were members of the Bulldogs Varsity 8+ as juniors a year ago.
"We have some experience, but we also have our freshmen from a year ago that will compete for spots in the top varsity boat," Putyrae said.
As is the case with races at Upriver Dam, racing is done in flights with boats sent off the start line at intervals. Placing is determined by time after all the boats in a class have crossed the finish line. But in a change from past years, boats will be sent down the river at shorter intervals, and there will be less time between flights. The first flight begins at 9:30 a.m. with the last flight to begin down the river at 11:30 a.m.

She transformed her mind from poverty consciousness to prosperity consciousness and applied practical business strategies to create a hugely successful life and business.
Sandy was one of my first mentors back in 2006. After reading her book How to Be Wildly Wealthy Fast I knew I had to work with her and it was through Sandy that I discovered The Secret and the Law of Attraction. It's not surprising then that our paths have crossed again...ten years later.

She's won over 8 international business awards including 2010 Business of the Year (Australia) and Best Overall Company of the Year in the International Awards for Women in Business (New York) and in 2008 International Mentor of the Year. Over 5 million people have seen, read or heard Sandy's coaching advice and she's recognised as one of the world's leading Prosperity Coaches.
Living life on your own terms means…
"It's the freedom to do what you want when you want and having the prosperity to make that happen. When you combine those two things, it feels light."
Wise Women's Words
- Get really clear on what it is you want – when you do it allows the universe to bring it to you so much easier. If you get really clear, you get super excited – energetically you align with it.
- Find a community or mentor who has created the success that you want. It's much faster than attempting to slog it out on your own. When you find a mentor and you follow their footsteps you save time, energy, money, frustration and heartache. You're following the lead of someone who's created the success that you want.

The Adventures of the Boi Wonder: Five Movies/TV Episodes that Don't Fail on Gender Identity
"People knock on my door, ringing my phone
Telling me the things I gotta get done today
To satisfy them, but what about me?
Lately I've been wishing I was brain dead
No responsibilities in my head today
Maybe we'll see what's on TV"
–"Nothing With You" by the Descendents
This is not the Summer of Love (unless you're offering to make it such); this is the Summer of My Netflix Account and DVR. In my adventures in screen-viewing, I have learned one basic tenet: You have to go through a lot of shit to find a gem. This is especially true when trying to find portrayals of trans and intersex characters that aren't cringe-worthy or hollow two-dimensional characters. We have to sit through Boys Don't Cry (which will make you want to hide in the closet forever), Quagmire's Dad episode of Family Guy, The L Word," and the like.
Here are five episodes or films that didn't make me want to bang my head against a wall:
Warning: Major Spoilers Ahead
1. Degrassi: The Next Generation, episodes "My Body Is a Cage Part 1 and 2" (2010)
Every time I completely write off Degrassi, it finds some way to pull me back in. Degrassi did an interesting and brilliant thing in not revealing that the character Adam Torres was trans. He was just portrayed as an ordinary underclassman boy who liked comics and hanging out with his best friends. So he already had a fanbase (and quite a few straight teen girls who thought he was cute) before these two episodes aired. He comes out to his best friends and, though they have a few trans 101-type questions, they are perfectly accepting. Adam desperately wants to be a regular kid though, mentioning how annoyed he is that he can't play contact sports like his older brother, and then gets brutally rejected and outed after the girl he's flirting with finds out he's trans, which leads to some horrific bullying. It also shows his family's path to real acceptance, who still have trouble with pronouns and letting go of their "daughter," though they love and support Adam. I really hope Degrassi doesn't fuck this up later (as they tend to do).
This is a gorgeously shot little film out of Argentina that centers on an intersex teenager. Alex, living in a small coastal town with her parents, is raised female, but is clearly rebelling against that placed identity. When a doctor and his family come to visit, at the suggestion of Alex's mother, we learn that the intention is to wager on the idea of genital surgery to make Alex "more female." The parents and the doctor figure out that Alex has been hiding away the estrogen pills rather than taking them, and are very torn about this. Alex's mother is the one pressuring her to consider surgery, while her father believes in the right to choose on her own how to live, whether it is as his daughter or his son.
Alex also forms a close and sexual bond with the quiet, gay son of the doctor, which in turn causes him to be more accepting of his sexuality and less introverted. Both are teenagers discovering who they are and their path to happiness, like everyone did at that age, queer or not. In the end, Alex chooses not to continue hormone treatments or have surgery and decide for herself (or himself, the film deliberately leaves the final decision ambiguous), and everyone else in the film in altered for the better.
3. Freaks and Geeks, episode "The Little Things" (2000)
This was one of the three episodes that were unaired during the original NBC run, and it was actually one of the first two Freaks and Greeks episodes I ever saw. Also, one of the very few times on a mainstream US broadcast that an intersex character isn't played for laughs or shock-value. It also deals with gender identity vs. sexual orientation. When Ken's (played by Seth Rogen) girlfriend Amy tells him in a moment of intense trust that she was actually born intersex (yet asserts that she's absolutely a girl), Ken doesn't immediately reject her; he is confused, but initially says that he's fine with it. After getting some cruel remarks from his closest guy friends who say that he's gay because she's "not really a girl," Ken starts to act more distant towards Amy, who then feels like he's rejecting her.
After figuring out that he's not gay in a scene involving experimentation with 80s gay porn magazines and dance music, (which shows the lack of information available about gay people in pre-Internet suburbia) Ken still feels pressured to break up with Amy even though he clearly really likes and cares about her. In a chance encounter in the bathroom hearing about Sam's girlfriend problems (she treats him badly, is a Republican, and likes none of the same stuff he does), Ken realizes that Amy is a great girlfriend, he loves her, and that none of the other stuff matters. He apologizes to her for being foolish and kisses her in the hallway before her school band concert.
4. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)
Okay, I admit that I am pretty biased about this film because it is one of my all-time favourites. Basically, Bernadette takes no prisoners. She's lived an interesting and hard life (the movie starts out with her learning that her lover died). It is refreshing to have a film that doesn't go through Trans 101, is absolutely hilarious without being cruel, and has a trans character that is self-reliant and unafraid.
Hell, in a scene where she and the other protagonists are refused service in a rough and rural town by a very rude and gruff woman, Bernadette delivers the epic line, "Why don't you go light your tampon and blow your box apart … Because it is the only bang you're ever going to get." Then proceeds to defeat the woman in a drinking contest and win the respect of everyone in the bar. In the end, she even finds love, and we can only help to assume that she and Bob proceed to spend the rest of their twilight years together. Plus, this is one of the few ways I can hear ABBA and not want to kick something.
5. Better Than Chocolate (1999)
The film itself was mediocre, but it is in this list just for this scene. Maybe I should write a song like this called "I'm Not a Butch Lesbian."
And for being one of the very, very few films I have ever seen that shows a trans character as not a heterosexual. The only other one I can think of would be the Danish film En Soap, currently next on my Netflix queue. Judy eventually ends up with the shy lesbian bookseller, Frances. Personally, I wish the film had been mainly about Judy and Frances rather than the central couple and the family drama between them.
- Honorable mention: Normal (2003)
I was about 12 years old when this film came out, and I saw it on HBO. I was pretty floored by it, though didn't understand all of it, especially anything to do with sex and love. I watched it again during Spring semester to see if it still had the same effect it did on me when I was a pre-teen. It actually affects me more now than it did back then. It is almost too painful to watch now in many parts, but the fact that love and family transcends intolerance and ignorance is really powerful. Other than Degrassi, this would be what I would show my family in hopes of better understanding, because it is quite straightforward without talking down; these are average people in the American midwest. Not to mention it was extremely well-acted. (Tom Wilkinson and Jessica Lange are pretty much always amazing, duh.)
I'll disclaim now that these selections are only my personal tastes. Though it is interesting to note that two of these films are not from the US (okay, Degrassi is technically Canadian, but that doesn't count); XXY, as previously mentioned, is from Argentina, and Priscilla is Australian. In my research (aka surfing Netflix), I have noticed that there are actually quite a few foreign films that have trans characters. Spanish director Pedro Amodovar has had numerous trans characters in his films, like in All About My Mother and Bad Education; there's also the Spanish musical film called 20 Centimeters, Beautiful Boxer from Thailand, Belgium's Ma Vie En Rose, and the gender-switching Orlando in the UK film adaptation of the book. All these films are of trans women. Unfortunately I have yet to find any foreign films that feature trans men. Even here in the US, in terms of trans men in non-documentary films, there is pretty much only Boys Don't Cry and Itty Bitty Titty Committee, both of which I hated. And don't even get me started on Max from The L Word.
If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to email me or post below. Once again, I'll admit that I am certainly no authority on films or trans people, but no one technically is, which makes both more wide-ranging and complex.

By Alison Vekshin, Bloomberg
WASHINGTON: JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc., two of the three largest US credit-card issuers, told Congress that they are changing some of the cardholder rates and fees that lawmakers say unfairly hurt consumers.
JPMorgan will stop charging customers who exceed their credit limit a penalty after 90 days, Richard Srednicki, chief executive officer of Chase Card Services, told a US Senate subcommittee in Washington. A Citigroup executive said his company decided last week to stop raising interest rates on cardholders who miss payments to other lenders.
"In this case, we simply blew it," Srednicki said, apologizing to an Ohio man who testified he ended up with more than $10,000 (Rs4,43,928) in fees and interest on a $3,200 wedding debt.
The is the second hearing, the Senate has held on the credit-card industry this year, a sign that democrats who now control Congress are putting increased emphasis on consumer issues. The recent policy changes suggest the pressure is having an effect.
Credit cards "have brought families to their knees with excessive late and over-limit fees, making it harder for them to climb out of debt," Senator Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat who is chairman of the Senate's permanent subcommittee on investigations, said.
'More Needs to be Done'
Some banks have taken steps to improve their practices "but more needs to be done," Levin said. Senate Banking Committee's chairman Christopher Dodd, a long-time industry critic, held a similar hearing in January.
The sub committee's lead witness was Wesley Wannemacher, who described how wedding expenses charged to a JPMorgan credit card in 2001 ballooned because of late fees, interest and other charges.
Wannemacher, who helps manage a family truck dealership, said in 2005 Chase rejected his offer to settle a then $4,600 bill for $3,000. Shortly after being invited to testify, Chase called to say it was forgiving the amount he still owed.
"There's all kinds of more productive or positive ways I feel I could have been spending that money," he said, including paying for his oldest son's braces.
Said Srednicki of New York-based JPMorgan, the third-largest US bank,"Our policies and procedures failed, and we deeply regret it. We believe this case is an exception and not the rule."
Vikram Atal, chairman and chief executive officer of Citi Cards NA, testified that the New York-based bank, the nation's largest, would eliminate account provisions that allow it to raise rates and fees at any time for any reason.
Companies Take Risks
Bruce Hammonds, president of Bank of America Card Services, said the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank, the second largest in the US, has never engaged in two practices criticized by lawmakers and consumer groups. The company doesn't raise interest rates if cardholders miss a payment to another creditor and doesn't charge interest based on the cardholder's average balance over two billing cycles, he said.
Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota, the subcommittee's top Republican, criticized the disclosure documents that credit-card companies send to consumers.
"The disclosures contained in card agreements are written by and for lawyers with an eye more toward staving off litigation rather than educating consumers," Coleman said. The bankers all said they could make the disclosures simpler.
Levin asked the bank officials about the standard industry practice of charging interest on money paid off the previous month if any balance remains.
'What is Justification?'
"What is the justification of charging interest on debt that is paid on time?" Levin asked. "I don't believe it's fair." He said he doesn't think consumers understand the practice.
Hammonds said the practice is similar to car loans and other debts where "you pay interest as long as the balance is out there."
Credit-card debt among US consumers is about $9,000 per household, according to Tamara Draut, program director at Demos, a New York-based public-policy group. About 40% of cardholders pay off their balance each month and don't incur interest charges or late fees.
Alys Cohen, a staff attorney at the Boston-based National Consumer Law Center, told senators that industry practices are creating "a debt crisis in America" and urged Congress to "pass strong legislation."
Levin said after the hearing he was glad the companies were changing their policies "under pressure and under the spotlight." He added, "there's a lot of companies out there that we can't put under the spotlight every day."
He said he intends to hold more hearings on the issue to explore consumer disclosures and misleading solicitations. "Obviously, aggressive oversight has a positive effect, but it's going to take legislation, I believe, on top of it," Levin said.

1. How do you want to grow in your faith throughout college?
I want to grow in my faith throughout college by going to Mass not just on Sundays and Weekends but attending daily Mass to help grow in my faith, joining and attending bible studies, faith retreats, and to attending Adoration more.
2. Why did you get involved in PAX?
The main reason why I wanted to join PAX was because the faith is incorporated in everything that the sorority does and because the Catholic Faith is so strong within the sorority. My faith is very important to me and I wanted to join something that would help me be able to grow more deeply in my faith in college. I want my faith incorporated into different aspects of all my life. This sorority had just that and everything that I was looking for. I also joined Pi Alpha Chi to meet new people and make new friends that will last a lifetime.
3. What has been your experience in PAX so far?
My experience in PAX so far has been very positive since I joined. I have met a lot of new friends and godly women who have helped me and encouraged me to grow in my faith. I have been able to grow in my faith by attending sorority events, which are faith based, such as faith enrichment events, attending Mass together as a sorority, praying together before and after we do things, etc. My faith has been stronger since I came to college because I have joined this sorority. Lastly, my experience in PAX has been positive so far because I have been able to meet new people who are struggling with the same struggles that I am going through in my life, and people who I can talk to when I am feeling sad or when I need advice on something.
4. When are you at the Newman Center?
I am at the Newman Center for Mass every Sunday and even daily Masses. I attend a bible study through the Newman Center that I just joined, led by a FOCUS missionary. My sorority also has study hours, so I study at the Newman Center library often. I just spend time at the Newman Center to meet new people who have the same Catholic Faith and values. I also attend community nights on Thursdays after going to the Thursday night Mass.
5. When did you start growing in your faith.
The time period in my life where my faith started to grow and "take off" as I would say, was after 8th grade when I was Confermed . That day was when I felt like a whole new person. I felt like a godly creature, or like a saint as I would say, when the bishop placed his hands upon my head and said the powerful words to me. That day was when I really truly felt the Holy Spirit upon me and when I really felt God's presence. Since then, my faith has grown stronger in many ways because I know that God and the Holy Spirit will be present within me when I am talking or calling to Him because I truly felt His presence on my confirmation day. The day when I became a "new, godly person."
6. How has your faith affected your life?
I am very fortunate to have not had my faith affect me in any negative ways, but my faith has affected me in very positive ways. My faith is within me every day of my life. I pray to God, and talk about the faith in some way every day and constantly. This is how I get through my days. When my days are challenging or when they are exciting, fun, and interesting my faith is with me. Without my faith I would be lost in this great big world. I would be isolated and would not be able to do anything or get through anything. I use my faith throughout my day whether it is by myself or with people. I even pray when there are people around because I don't care if they mock me or make fun of me because this is who I am, just a college student trying to get through the challenging tasks that go along with being a college student. My faith has probably been the strongest that it has ever been since I have gone to college. College is challenging and I have been really homesick and depressed because I am away from my home and the people that I love so much. The only way I get through it is with God. God is always there and will help me get through all of my struggles, but what I have learned is that I have to be open to asking for help and receiving the help and guidance from Him. Overall my faith has affected my life by receiving "new lights" and by making my life better and easier.
7. What is your favorite memory of Pi Alpha Chi?
My favorite memory from Pi Alpha Chi was the Big Sister - Little Sister Reveal when we found out who our "big sister" was, the person who will always be there for us whenever we need her, the person to ask for advice, and a person to talk to about your life in general. This memory was so fun because we got to bond together as a sorority and got to know each other a little bit better. Also we got to play fun games and do fun activities.

Happy Anniversary!
Ha! How about this for an anniversary card for my hubby?? OK, so its not very romantic but then I never make a romantic card come to think of it… this one kind of "happened" and I actually really like the way it turned out!!
I thought I would skip the card this year, or maybe make one another day, but I got to looking at all my files and saw this one, and thought, that would make a perfect gift box. I cut out the gun box from SVGcutting files, but couldn't figure out how to make the box work… I admit, I was a little tired, and I have no patience, so after spending an hour figuring out how the gun box went together, I decided, I would make a card out it instead!
I sized it pretty big, so it would be a good size for a card, I might have sized it a little too big, but I welded the gun base and added the layers. I then cut out the Love Bandit also from SVGcutting files, and he turned out darling, and it was a perfect fit!! My hubby is into guns so he might actually really like this card!!
I admit, its unconventional, but I think that is why I like so much!!
Happy Anniversary to my Hubby!! Our Anniversary is July 4th! 15 years and counting…

The Apple Ipad ? What Is It, And Will It Benefit My Business Life?
Is it a large iPhone? Is it a small laptop? What can you do with it? More importantly, what can't you do with it?
Just 9. 56 inches by 7. 47 inches and half an inch thick, The Apple iPad looks like a tablet or slate computer with no keyboard or mouse. The main feature is its high-resolution, multi-touch screen. This highly responsive screen is obviously great for games, videos and photo sharing but the jury is still out on its usefulness as a serious business tool.
Here are some of the ways you could use it:
As an e-reader: Catch up with newspapers and magazines or read an e-book while travelling. Text on the iPad's backlit screen appears crisp and easy to read, although some people might find it a bit too bright for prolonged reading. Its weight – 1. 5 pounds for the Wi-Fi model and just a fraction more for Wi-Fi +3G – makes it as comfortable to hold as a large paperback.
For emails: The iPad works with all the popular email providers. Use the on screen keyboard to write your emails and save or delete incoming mail with a few taps on the screen.
Working on business documents: Apple's iWorks software for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations has been redesigned with new features for use on the iPad. One drawback is that you can't multitask as you might on a computer. For example, you can't have a browser window open while you're working on a document or spreadsheet.
Organisation: Calendars, contacts, notes and maps are all available to keep your business on track.
For presentations and meetings: The screen uses IPS (in-plane switching) technology to give it a wide viewing angle. This means you can see a sharp picture with excellent colour whether the iPad is flat on a desk, held up vertically or tilted, and the people on either side of you will see it equally well. It's perfect for displaying photos, graphics, text and videos in group situations, and is easily handed round when more than one person is involved in creating or editing a piece of work.
The iPad will be able to use nearly 140,000 apps currently used on iPhones and iPods, and more are being developed specifically for the iPad. We'll just have to wait and see how useful some of them will be for business.

|Weekend in Western Illinois
Full Force Galesburg
the Mountain Goats
Previous Track
Next Track
"US Mill"
Weekend in Western Illinois is the ninth song on the album Full Force Galesburg.
The land's opening up like a blanket And the dandelions spread themselves thickly out Along the fields, which are evidently endless And we are hotly in love with one another We've got an unquenchable thirst in our throats We are for some reason all the time bleeding And we are friendless And we love these dogs that roll on the lawns here in Galesburg Because they seem to know something nobody else knows It is written in the smiles on their faces And it rings in their high young voices We are burning up all of our choices up here Where the tall grass grows Up here in Galesburg The sky's opening up like an old wound And the rain on our bodies is warm tonight And the ground underneath us shakes in the cracking thunder We can taste fresh blood in our mouths again There is no chance of getting enough of it And we tally up all our possessions, we're going under Yeah we love these dogs that loll in the rain here in Galesburg As the new season rocks them in its terrible arms Yeah they howl as though the world were ending As we are watching the sky unwinding And some of our promises were binding up here where our dreams take form Up here in Galesburg Up here in Galesburg

I love a good; healthy breakfast and one of my favourite breakfast pastries are Croissants. I also adore freshly baked bread, preferably the hot crust with salted butter and strawberry preserve. Let's make some pastries today, beginning with Croissants.
For the dough:
3 cups (15 oz.) all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
1 tbsp. instant or active dry yeast
¼ cup (1¾ oz.) sugar
1¼ tsp. salt
1¼ cups whole milk, cold
2 tbsp. unsalted butter room temperature
For the butter square:
24 tbsp. cold, European-style butter (like Plugra) cut into 1-tablespoon pieces
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
Egg wash:
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Flaky Sea Salt (optional)
To make the dough:
Combine 2¾ cups of the flour together with the yeast, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
Add the milk to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the dry ingredients and knead on low speed until a ball of dough forms, about 5 minutes.
Cut the butter into small pieces and add them to the dough. Continue to knead until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth. The dough should form a ball and begin to clear the sides of the bowl, about 5-6 minutes more. The dough should be sticky but if the dough sticks more to the bowl than itself, add the remaining ¼ cup of flour a small bit at a time as needed.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Using butter that is cold, but not rock hard will make forming the butter square easier. Leave it out at room temp for 15-20 minutes to soften it just a little. (It shouldn't be room temperature)Toss together the butter pieces and flour on a clean work surface. Smear the butter chunks back and forth using a bench scraper against the work surface until they have combined into a smooth, homogenous mixture. This will take some elbow grease, as you really need to make sure the square is smooth and pliable.
Wrap the butter mixture in plastic wrap and use the edges of the plastic to form it into a 7-inch square. Refrigerate until ready to use, at least 30 minutes.
Dust a work surface with flour.
Roll the dough into an 11-inch square .
Place the chilled butter square diagonally onto the dough.
Fold the corners of the dough up over the butter square so that they meet in the middle and pinch the edges of the dough together to seal them.
Using a rolling pin, gently tap the dough starting from the center of the dough and working outward, until the square becomes larger and the butter begins to soften. Your goal is to push the butter out the the edges in an even way. (though from my experience even though the butter broke up a bit it still worked just fine.)
Start gently rolling the dough into a 14-inch square, being careful to make sure the work surface stays well-floured and the dough is not sticking.
Fold the dough into thirds to form a long rectangle.
Starting from the narrow ends, fold the rectangle into thirds again to form a square. (This completes two turns of the dough.) Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
After the dough has chilled, Repeat the folding process, tap the folded dough square starting from the center of the dough and working outward, then rolling out to a 14-inch square. Fold the dough into thirds to form a rectangle and into thirds again to form a square, completing two more turns. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for another 2 more hours.
To shape the croissants, line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
Place the chilled dough onto the floured work surface and gently roll into a 20-inch square. (My pastry slab didn't fit this so I did half at a time.)
Cut each half into three rectangles and then slice each rectangle diagonally to yield 12 triangles.
Working with one triangle at a time, gently stretch the dough so that the two long sides are equal in length.
Cut a 1-inch slit in the base of the triangle.
Fold the two corners of the slit outward and begin rolling the triangle up, gently stretching the dough as you roll. Leave the last ¼-inch of the tip unrolled.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and fold the ends toward each other to make a crescent shape. Repeat with the remaining portions of dough.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until puffy, about 45-60 minutes- they won't double in size, but they will puff up- especially on the edges.
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Brush the shaped croissants lightly with the egg wash- sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Bake until the croissants are golden brown, 18-22 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. Allow to cool on a wire rack at least 15 minutes. Store airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days.
* Butter should be cold but not too cold- let it sit out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften just a bit
** If you don't have a bench scraper, put the butter between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound it with a rolling pin.
You may also freeze half of the unbaked croissants for up to two weeks. Simply freeze before proofing, and when you're ready to bake, allow them to come to room temperature and proof as normal. (though they may need a few more minutes.)
(Recipe taken from Recipe's Illustrated).
Sounds good right?! No better way than to start a beautiful weekend morning with a gorgeous fresh croissant! Sorry for those who wanted an Eat Like blog; will do one next week again! Have a fantastic weekend peeps!
Happy baking!
Chef Shants xxxxx

The official deadline for submitting your NOAC medical form online is June 30th. DO NOT MISS THIS DEADLINE! If you miss this deadline, you will be required to submit your medical for on-site review during check-in. If the online process is any indication, this will not be a short process.
To help as many folks as possible get their medical forms submitted before the June 30th deadline, we will be hosting a NOAC medical form tech support day on June 20th from 8am to 4pm at the Greater Alabama Council Birmingham Service Center.
We will have personnel and equipment onsite to access and print your med form, have your medical review performed by licensed physician, scan your completed medical, and upload it to the BSA AHMR system.
This will be our last major effort to get everyone in before the deadline.
If you are coming on Saturday and have a laptop, please bring it! I anticipate that we'll have a shortage of computers during the early part of the day, meaning that not everyone will be able to work concurrently.
In order to gauge how much support we need, please RSVP as soon as possible for this event.
Once your form is submitted, be patient! It is not unusual for the review process to take a long time. Of the 3 approvals we have to date, 2 of them took more than 3 weeks to be approved after they were submitted.

PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient Review
What is practical intelligence? Is it the decisions we make in our everyday lives? Is it the risks we take in Crazy Taxi or the chance we take in entering a taxi whose driver might be crazy? Could it be the five-second rule, which leads us to believe that food is only dirty after touching the ground for six seconds?
No matter what practical intelligence is, I never thought it would have anything to do with solving puzzles in a video game, not even after playing a game called Practical Intelligence Quotient. That changed with the PQ2, a sequel that replaces the insanity of the original with practical and intelligent puzzles that might just be worthy of judging your intelligence.
In our previous coverage of the game, we dove into the 100-stage mode that judges your PIQ in no more than five hours. The white silhouette is back as the playable character. Depending on your selected gender, it will don either a suit or a dress. Movable, immovable, and breakable (glass) blocks are cleverly used to make the player think before acting – and think again after acting improperly. The puzzles created for this game are more interesting than any character-based puzzle game before it.
Though it can be a game of trial and error, its ideals and implementations have advanced that concept. You are not merely running in circles, hoping that the solution will eventually reveal itself. Rather, you hunt for the answer, try to envision the pathway to the goal, and test your theory, leading to one of two outcomes: jubilation or exasperation. No matter how long it takes to achieve that jubilating essence, the player will come out the other side with one certainty – that, once the goal had finally been reached, the puzzle's solution made perfect sense.
The downside to most single-player puzzle games is that, once completed, they don't have the kind of replay value that's found in multiplayer hits like the recently released Planet Puzzle League. PQ2's puzzles are fun to play through a second time, especially if you're like me and forget the solutions to some of them. (What frustration!) But there's a better way to continue being challenged and entertained after the game has been finished: user-created puzzles. PQ2 offers an excellent and near limitless creation tool that is powerful enough to re-create the puzzles designed by the developers. No, there isn't a reason to do that. But think about it: if you can re-create what they did, what else might be possible? How many minds could you boggle – could you boggle your own?
The game won't let you throw something together for the heck of it since players have to test out every puzzle they make. It's the game's way of saying, "Let's see if you've really done something or if you're just trying to torture your friends." Puzzles are "complete" immediately after the goal is reached, which proves that it is a valid challenge for others to solve. The time (how long you took) and number of executed moves becomes the benchmark for all others who attempt to solve the puzzle. It is then saved to your memory stick and may be uploaded to PQ2's server for anyone to access.
Good puzzles don't design themselves. But the creation tool is very user-friendly, much like those featured in the Tony Hawk games. You begin by selecting a playing field (called a prototype) and start with a max of 960 credits. Credits are used to purchase blocks, switches, doors, door rails, detectives, police officers, police boxes, and warp boxes. Floor blocks, the immovable objects that make up the shape of each stage, range in price but are usually no more than two credits.
Outside of the cost, there is no limit to how many floor blocks can be laid. The lowest quantity item is the warp box, which there can only be two of (to jump back and forth between locations), and the most expensive item is the police officer, who retails for 120 credits. Up to 20 red, blue, and yellow lifts (blocks that rise up) may be planted in your stage. Add a footstep-tracking detective to intensify the challenge of puzzles that don't seem that difficult.
I like to place a detective right behind the last or second to last door that needs to be opened before you can reach the exit. Unless you've been smart enough to literally cover your tracks – which can be done by placing blocks over your footprints or by waiting several seconds until they disappear – the detective will begin his chase immediately. On their first time through, players are not likely to notice the tracker until it's too late. I've learned to watch for detectives and time my moves correctly (and walk in circles) to avoid and confuse them. But I still get caught and still walk into laser beams that I know are there.
Players that aren't ready to create their own puzzles can enjoy quick tests that combine five puzzles that must be solved in 10 minutes. Theme tests divide the game's puzzles into various categories, such as single move, reasoning, and trap avoidance. There's one set that challenges you to complete puzzles that have several solutions – but do so with the least amount of moves. Weekly Test allows you to go online for a test that's made up of select user puzzles.
PSP owners with a passion for unique and special puzzle games must make PQ2 their next purchase. It is immensely deep and enjoyable, is fun to play through more than once, offers multiple play modes to test your PIQ, and has an amazing puzzle creation element that'll extend the life of this game well into the fall gaming season. And that's without a multiplayer component! Most impressive.
Review Scoring Details for PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient
Gameplay: 8.5
The most unusual puzzle game since the first PQ and several times more practical. PQ2's controls, camera, and all other gameplay functions work very well. You'll have to come up with the best way to handle and release breakable glass. Lasers will need to be repositioned around special colored blocks without being touched. Many doors will have to be unlocked while avoiding rejects of The Blue Man Group, as well as the orange, footstep-tracking detectives.
PQ2's contrasting colors look really good. The visuals are simple without being too simple.
Sound: 6.0
Most of PQ2's techno tracks are an annoyance. The ones that aren't are just decent.
Difficulty: Medium/Hard
These puzzles are very practical. But they will make you think, re-think, and then think again.
Concept: 8.5
Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 is a non-stop run of intelligent, thought-provoking puzzles that take switch, block, and door adjustments to unseen places.
Overall: 8.5
Top-of-the-line entertainment – a must for anyone who wants a deep, satisfying, and puzzling challenge.

Since the Doom of Valyria, the surviving candles have been dormant.

Rongomatane Ada Nicholls
Ariki of Atiu Island, Cook Islands
My dad comes from Atiu and my mum comes from Rarotonga. They had six children: four girls and two boys. I'm the eldest child. I was born in 1948. I went to primary school in Atiu.
From the age of six, I started going to meetings with the villages and chiefs on Atiu. I went with my parents. I just sat there and listened because at that age I didn't have a say. Sometimes I got bored and ran away to play with the other kids. Usually, I followed my parents and saw what there were doing. Back in those days, my brothers and sisters weren't that interested in attending all the meetings.
I was in the Girl Guides and went to sunday school. I went to college on Rarotonga. In 1966, I was chosen to be the Green Queen to raise money for the Inter-Island Pacific Games. When I left school, I became a shop assistant. I applied to work in the Philatelic Bureau where I worked until 1978. After that, I joined the Government in the treasury department. I was a clerk there.
In 1972, I was invested as the Ariki (Paramount Chief) of Atiu Island: one of three Ariki on the island. I was only 24 years old. At the beginning, I would ask my Uncles and Aunties for advice on the role of the Ariki. When I first sat in the House of Ariki all the other Ariki were very old.
Being the Ariki involves a lot of hard work. I have to go to lots of community meetings on Atiu. My role is to take my people's concerns to the Island Council and to represent them there. I am a member of the Island Council but I do not have a vote. I also attend lots of church meetings. The role of the Ariki is unpaid, I work because of my love of the people.
In 1972, I also got married to Ernest from Aitutaki. In 1974 we moved to Aitutaki. I worked for the government there. We got married in 1978. We have two children: a boy and a girl.
We moved to Atiu at the people's request in 1984. Since then I have always lived on Atiu. I worked for the Island Government in the treasury department while my husband was the Senior Public Health Officer. As the Ariki, I went to lots of church, community and island meetings. I joined the National Council of Women in 1984. In 1985, I had my daughter and that was another job.
I became President of the House of Ariki, a position I held from 2007 until 2009. In the House of Ariki, I think women can have a lot of power. It's the men who nominate the women for the role of President.
In 2012, I became Patron of the National Women's Council. I want to continue to serve my people and work with the National Women's Council.


text: Updated from 12:33 a.m. EDTRick Wagoner's three-decade ride at General Motors ( GM) is coming to an end. The chairman and CEO of the troubled Big Three automaker is stepping down immediately, according to published media reports. Citing anonymous Obama administration sources, the Associated Press reported that Wagoner's resignation comes at the request of the White House. The news comes as the administration is preparing to unveil Monday its plan for providing additional aid to the auto industry. The White House is expected to ask GM and Chrysler LLC to undergo significant restructuring in exchange for additional government loans. Speaking in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" broadcast Sunday, President Obama said automakers need to do more to qualify for additional help. "They're not there yet," he said. Obama also said, "We think we can have a successful U.S. auto industry. But it's got to be one that's realistically designed to weather this storm and to emerge at the other end much more lean, mean, and competitive than it currently is." Two people familiar with the plan said Sunday that the Obama administration would give GM enough government aid to restructure over the next 60 days, while Chrysler will get up to $6 billion and 30 days to complete an alliance with Italian automaker Fiat. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to make details public. Fritz Henderson, GM's president and chief operating officer, became the new CEO, a Treasury Department source said. Board member Kent Kresa, the former chairman and CEO of defense contractor Northrop Grumman ( NOC), will be interim chairman of the GM board. One official said a majority of the GM board was expected to step down.

In the Alros and The Torch of Skies video game, the Hakins are very dangerous mechanical warriors that Alros can find in the Maze of Pain] and other places.
They have metal power, opposed to the fire power of Alros and the fairies, but very similar to the dark power of Lord Dim. It makes them undefeatable before the standard fire storms of Alros. However, when Alros becomes the Sacred Wind and his torch becomes the Golden Torch of White Fire and Divine Light, he becomes able to melt metal and the Hakins are not a problem anymore. Anyways, the Maze of Pain is the only place where the hakins will be a real menace as they are a great mount of hakins. It is one of the only enemies that can just ignore both fire wall and light wall to hurt to Alros in both kid and sacred wind shape.
They are too fast, so they can not control their path. It is really easy to escape when a hakins attacks, but the problem in the Maze of Pain is they are about 30 units.
Hakins King
He is a sub-boss in the Solar Altar. He is the most powerful hakins ever: A single hit can kick out of Alros the spirits of blessings that the red fairies put on him, separating his kid form from his god-like spiritual form. The spiritual Alros is invulnerable, but the kid is in danger and the spirit (controlled by the player) has to manage to destroy the king before it reaches the weak human kid to kill him. Anyways, if the player could not save him, the kid is never killed as the Fairy Solfa comes to save him. But now the player is not a sacred wind, and he has to look for the red fairies again to reunite with his spiritual being. If the player destroyed the king before the fairy has to save him, the Hakins King explodes and the spell is broken: The spirits come back to Alros, and he can continue, as Sacred Wind, to have his first fight against Lord Dim.

The Red Sox beat the Texas Rangers 4-2 on getaway day this afternoon at Fenway Park. They won the 2nd home series of the year, taking 2 out of 3 from the Rangers after being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers. Weather played a factor as a strong wind blowing in from left stifled the offense and the hitters battled shadows at the plate.
David Ortiz delivered the big blow in the bottom of the eighth with his team down 2-1, hitting a 3-run homer to take a 4-2 lead over the Rangers. Jake Peavy certainly pitched good enough to win, but left in a 1-1 tie. Peavy threw 6 2/3 solid innings tallying 8 punch-outs.
Boston drew first blood in the third inning when Bradley and Gomes drew back-to-back walks with one man out. Pedroia reached on a wayward throw by the pitcher Ross into right field, allowing Bradley to cross the plate.
Robert Ross had luck on his side, allowing just 1 run in 5.1 innings despite walking 6 Red Sox hitters. Ross seemingly had deep counts all afternoon, but the double play bailed him out on multiple occasions. He threw just 10 first pitch strikes to the 21 batters he faced. The Sox offense had plenty of chances to capitalize but could not execute.
The Sox held their 1-0 lead until the Rangers 7th, when Mitch Moreland left the yard to even the score. Moreland had 2 strikeouts in his previous at bats, but he was due for a hit off Jake Peavy. Moreland hit .500 (3-6) off the righty with 2 homers coming into today's contest, and he continued that success in the late stages of today's game.
Alexi Ogando was dominant out of the bullpen and had the strikeout working, setting down 4 straight Red Sox batters by way of the K. His effort kept the bats at bay, allowing his team to take a 2-1 lead in the 8th.
The Texas bullpen imploded in the home eighth as Bradley drew a leadoff walk, his third of the game, and AJ Pierzynski singled to right. After Pedroia made an out, Ortiz stepped into the box to face the new pitcher Neal Cotts. Ortiz was 0-5 with 5 whiffs in his career against the lefty reliever. In the biggest at bat of the afternoon, Ortiz launched a towering 3-run bomb to right for a 4-2 lead, adding to his clutch reputation.
Automatic closer Koji Uehara pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to earn his 2nd save of the year and seal the win for his teammates.
Papi Does it Again! It's getting hard to keep count of all the clutch hits David Ortiz collects. He adds to his resume with a 3-run shot off lefty Neal Cotts to fuel the comeback victory. Ortiz finished the day 2-4 with a double, HR, and 3 RBI.
Where's the support? Jake Peavy looked like the Peavy of old, dominating Ranger hitters via the strikeout for most of the afternoon. Peavy left the game after 109 pitches with 2 outs in the 7th, walking Rangers backstop Robinson Chirinos. Moreland's homer was the only blemish of his outing. Once again the bats could not get their starter a lead, and Peavy came away with a no decision despite his performance.
Double Trouble The double play came to the rescue once again in the series finale as Ross wiggled out of trouble in the 3rd, 4th, and fifth innings. The Red Sox hit into 10 twin killings in the three game series against Texas.
Rivalry Time Boston makes their first trip to the Bronx of 2014 to take on the rival Yankees in a 4-game series, their first grudge match of the season. Jacoby Ellsbury will face his old team for the first time. Here's the pitching matchups for the weekend series:
Thursday 7:05 PM - Buchholz vs. Pineda
Friday 7:05 PM - Lester vs. Sabathia
Saturday 1:05 PM - Lackey vs. Kuroda
Sunday 8:00 PM - Doubront vs. Nova
