Monkeybread is a delicious baked good that is simple to make. It's great to make with kids because aside from cutting and heating it is just dipping bread into cinnamon sugar and putting it in a cake pan. Plus kids will love to tear the pieces off it when it's done.

It's also best for a dessert or snack, because it is loaded with sugar and butter.

Strangers into Citizens is a campaign by the London-based Citizen Organising Foundation * calling for a one-off naturalisation of long-term irregular migrants in the UK. This is also known as an earned amnesty or path into citizenship.

The Home Office calculates there to be about 500,000 such people, a combination of refused asylum-seekers and visa overstayers who have made new lives in the UK. Campaigners have collected stories documenting the plight of the UK's long-term irregular migrant population *.

Strangers into Citizens argues they should be allowed to become legal by means of a two-year work permit available to asylum-seekers or economic migrants who can show they have been in the UK for four years or more. A poll commissioned by the campaign shows most British people back the idea. *

The campaign is backed by faith leaders such as Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, who first raised the possibility at a Mass for Migrant Workers on 1 May 2006.

His call has been backed by the Mayor of London, trade unions, and many MPs of all parties.

Strangers into Citizens is also supported by three out of six of the candidates to the deputy leadership of the Labour Party.*They are: Alan Johnson, Jon Cruddas and Harriet Harman.

An Early Day Motion * calling on Government to consider the proposals has attracted the support of dozens of MPs.

On 7 May 2007 15,000 people gathered in the rain in Trafalgar Square to call for regularisation. Among those addressing the crowds were: the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor; the Bishop of Southwark, Tom Butler; Dr Bari (Muslim Council of Britain); Rabbi Shissler (representing the Chief Rabbi); Baroness Williams of Crosby; * Jon Cruddas, the MP for Barking and Dagenham; Jack Dromey, deputy secretary-general of the TGWU; * Dave Prentis, head of UNISON; the singer Billy Bragg; as well as the campaign co-ordinator, Dr Austen Ivereigh.

The campaign's proposals have been supported in editorials in The Independent, The Tablet and The Universe and in columns in the Guardian and the Observer, and attacked in the Daily Express and the Daily Telegraph.

MigrationWatch * also opposes the campaign.

Strangers into Citizens is backed by the Immigration Advisory Service, the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, the Migrant Rights Network, the Jesuit Refugee Service and the Churches' Refugee Forum.

Upon graduation he went into the United States Armed Forces and served in Bosnia, Korea, Egypt and Iraq to name a few. He was very proud to have earned a combat patch with 3rd ACR in Iraq during the initial invasion. Right at the end of his second tour in Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division (AIR ASSAULT) he was wounded by sniper fire in Baghdad on 26 August 2006. Although snipers do not aim to wound, SGT Woods survived the attack. He is now paralyzed from the shoulders down but intends as living life to the fullest, including attaining a degree in Landscape Architecture. The following list are some of his accomplishments during his career. US ARMY SGT, 13F Fire Support Specialist (Forward Observer), "Fister", Platoon Seargent, Squad Leader, Team Leader, RANGER, PATHFINDER, AIRBORNE as well as AIR ASSAULT. His awards are many and yet will never be enough and include: bronze star and two purples hearts, not to mention an ARCOM with valor he wears proudly.

PC-1546 was laid down on 28 November 1943 by Consolidated Shipbuilding Corporation, Morris Heights, New York; launched on 30 January 1944, sponsored by Mrs. J. G. Feeney; and commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 5 June 1944, with Lieutenant James 0. Watts in command.

After shakedown and Anti-submarine warfare training off the East Coast, PC-1546 departed New York on 10 August to escort a troop and supply convoy to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Assigned to the Eastern Sea Frontier, she screened eight convoys between New York and Cuba during the next 5 months. In January and February 1945 she patrolled the coastal sealanes, searching for German submarines. Resuming escort duties in March, she made five more runs along the East Coast and returned to New York on 22 May.

PC-1546 departed for the Pacific Ocean on 12 June 1945; and steaming via the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Marshalls, she reached Ulithi, Carolines, on 5 August. During the next 2 months, she patrolled on air-sea rescue duty between Ulithi and Guam. After shifting her base to Guam on 21 October, she resumed air-sea rescue patrols in the Marianas. She operated in the Western Pacific during the next 32 months; and patrols and passenger runs sent her to Okinawa, Korea, Japan, the Bonins, and the Carolines. Departing Guam on 14 July 1948, she steamed to Midway Island; and after serving as air-sea rescue ship between 25 July and 10 September, she sailed for overhaul at Pearl Harbor.

PC-1546 resumed air-sea rescue patrols on 9 January 1949 out of Tutuila, American Samoa. After returning to Pearl Harbor on 2 April, she was assigned to the Patrol Group, Hawaiian Sea Frontier. For almost 5 years she continued air-sea rescue patrols in the Central Pacific, operating primarily out of Midway, Johnston Island, and Kwajalein. Between 29 January and 5 May 1954 she served at Bikini, Marshalls, during the testing of the hydrogen bomb. She departed Kwajalein on 8 December, reached Pearl Harbor on 14 December, then sailed for the West Coast on 19 February 1955. Arriving at San Francisco, California, on 26 February, she underwent overhaul before sailing for Astoria, Oregon, on 11 June. After arriving there on 14 June, she decommissioned on 12 August and entered the Pacific Reserve Fleet. While berthed with the Columbia River Group, she was named Grosse Pointe on 15 February 1956, after a small city just outside Detroit, Michigan. Under terms of the Military Assistance Program she was loaned to the Republic of Korea on 21 November 1960, and she served the Korean Navy as Kun Chong San (PC-708).

Iku is a swimming pool game similar to Sharks and Minnows, where all the participants stay quiet, except all of the players can tag each other.

It is easiest to play the game with 3 or more players, with one player acting as referee.

All players are supposed to say quiet, and only speak when they tag someone, the first person to yell "IKU!" wins the tag and the other person is eliminated, the game continues until only one person is left, with that person being the winner of that round.

The United State Coast Guard Cutter Tahoma (Coast Guard Cutter No. 60) was built by the Defoe Shipbuilding Company in Bay City, Michigan. Completed in 1934, the steel-hulled cutter operated on the Great Lakes between 1934 and 1941, attached to the 9th Coast Guard District and homeported at Cleveland, Ohio. She was named after a glacier on the southwestern slope of Mount Ranier in the state of Washington.

As the United States moved closed to full participation in World War II, President Roosevelt issued an executive order on 1 November 1941 transferring the Coast Guard from the Treasury Department to the Navy. Accordingly, Tahoma was sometime thereafter reclassified as a gunboat and designated WPG-80.

By July 1942, the former cutter had left the Great Lakes to escort Allied convoys in the North Atlantic in the vicinity of Casco Bay, Maine; Ivigtut, Greenland; St. John's and Argentia, Newfoundland; and Sydney, Nova Scotia; into the spring of 1944. The remainder of her naval service was spent in serving on weather and ice patrol duties between Greenland and Iceland and plane guard operations in the same waters. In the latter service, she alternated with the Coast Guard cutters Frederick Lee (WPC-139), Algonquin (WPG-75), and Mohawk (WPG-78) into 1945. At the time of the Japanese surrender in mid-August 1945, Tahoma was at sea on a plane guard station.

Released from duty with the Atlantic Fleet on 30 September 1945, Tahoma was returned to the Coast Guard for a resumption of peacetime service.
