JFI-JackFruit....Chakka Mezhukuparatti/Jackfruit Side dish
Jugalbandi got the oppurtunity to host the JFI for this month and what do they pick as the theme-Jackfruit!!! As if trying to meet deadlines was not hard enough, I had to prod the imagination to find Jackfruit here. Along with mangoes, jackfruit with all their pungent smell and gooey taste is what I miss about Kerala.
All this month, Jugal bandi have been showcasing Jackfruit (since they found a fresh one at their local Thai grocery), with unfairly drool worthy pictures of the plump fruit before they cut it, after they cut it, after they roasted the seeds,, after they cooked it...Thank God there was no pictures of the aftermath.:)
Then Inji chimed in, showing off the jackfruit sent to her.a..ar..gh...
So anyway, I realy wanted to participate in the JFI this time, except that I have no jackfruit/chakka in sight in the East Coast.
I resorted to my standby- frozen jackfruit but the local Indian groceries didn't carry it. Finally found one in Oak Tree Road (Is there anything Indian you can't find there?)and made a mezhukuparatti or veg side dish, if you want to call it that.
The recipe is my friend's and I first had this yummy dish at her house. It tends to be on the sweeter side depending on the ripeness of the jackfruit but goes well as a foil to any spicy curry. This is one of the vegetables or fruits, I don't mind using frozen. No cleaning, and I don't have to deal with any of the messy glue which surrounds the fleshy fruit and the mezhkuparatti gets cooked in a jiffy.
You Will Need:
Green Jackfruit(Pachcha chakka)
(finely chopped) –450 gms or 1 lb
Cumin seeds(Jeerakam) – 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Hot Green Chilies – 4 nos slit vertically.
Garlic pods – 1 or 2
Curry leaves – one sprig
Dry Red Chilies – 2 nos
Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
Oil – 2 tbsp or as needed
Salt to taste
1. Defrost the jackfruit pieces by soaking it in water for 10-15 minutes. Drain well and cut into strips using a kitchen scissor.
2. Heat oil in a pan or a kadai. Lower the heat, add mustard seeds and cover till it stops spluttering. Now add the red chillies broken into 2-3 pieces, green chilies and curry leaves.
3.Add the jackfruit slivers, turmeric and salt. Lower the heat, add 2 tablespoon water, cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Open, stir to mix well and check to see if it is done. Add more oil if needed to avoid sticking to the pan.
4. Crush the shallots and garlic coarsely with a mortar and pestle and add to the pan. Mix well and it may take a couple of minutes of sauteing more with continuous stirring. The shallot-garlic mix can be omitted if prefered. Make sure the jackfruit doesn't get overcooked else it will stick to each other. Serve with rice.

Shaheen, Mezhukuparatti looks delicious. I have not found any jackfruits in my neck of the woods either. 200 miles is not a big deal right, I'll let you know if I find any store close by.

Looks lovely, am surprised it has no coconut in it, for a Kerala dish

- Bharathy said...
Wow! nice to see you blogging back in an ACTIVE mood..nice to see your new dishes...Great! you could participate in JFI as well..
I am back,as you see..
[A doubt!..Do you see RSS(just headings) for your 'side bar' links of bloggers in that small window by Snapshots?I dont see pics in those anymore.:(]

Bee, u guessed right. had to make something, even though i was eyeing ur JF.:)
Meena, Glad to see u back. This is a very simple recipe. do try.
Reena,I love the seeds roasted in the aduppu. U are tight, noramlly u see this everywhere. i have bookmarked ur recipe for my next trial.
Revathi,I had a spurt of inspiration.. happens sometimes..not all the times.I see u are still smelling the roses.:)Mutton fry would also be good if it is boneless and with crushed pepper..oh my!
Nabee, u probably are tapping ur forehead.. these mallus are crazy.. well, there are only somethings we can call unique to kerala.
Indo, c'mon over, 200 miles is nothing. U should take a trip to oak tree road for pure nostalgia.
Asha, saw ur kathal ki subji and now i want to try that too!how did u manage 4?
Sra, A mezhukuparatti literally means "coated with oil". Kerala dishes are either Thorans with coconut or mezhukuparatti , without coconut.
Bharathy, the snaps shots looks fine.Yes, this JFI , i managed to join in.Can't do it all the time though!
Dilip, Thanks a lot.

- Jun 1, 2007, 12:15:00 PM
Shaheen- so yummy and different with the garlic and shallots. Somehow, the frozen green jackfruit has not worked that great for me. It sometimes taste bitter and does not cook well when covered like in your recipe. Any tips on how to cook it to right stage or without bitterness?

Sandeepa, saw ur JF recipe.Very different from my use of it and therefore very interesting to me.
Sukanya, Thanks.
Mishmash, I noticed that and am working to correct it.
Mika, I have not yet encountered the bitterness, but I will surely let you know if I figure out why and when it turns bitter.

Food website Serious Eats is the latest to tell the world about how spectacular KC's dining scene is.
So where should you grab a bite? According to the list, Happy Gillis is the best breakfast in town, Kitty's Cafe can't be beat for a quick lunch and Bluestem is your best bet for a happy hour snack. Cinder Block Brewery is the selected beer joint, Julep is KC's No. 1 cocktail source and Town Topic wins the late night eats title.
Of course barbecue is a huge draw, and the list offers dish-specific recommendations. For burnt ends, Serious Eats votes for LC's Bar-B-Q while Arthur Bryants takes top billing for brisket. Danny Edwards is the place to go for pork ribs, but for beef ribs, it's all about Jack Stack. Oklahoma Joe's was awarded the most creative title (both literally and figuratively) as the place for "creative BBQ in a gas station."
Oklahoma Joe's also made another list this week—the restaurant topped Yahoo's "10 Restaurants Worth Waiting in Their (Very) Long Lines" roundup.

Dispel Confusion Vol. 2, No. 1January 2006by Chris Tulach
If you have specific questions regarding the Living Greyhawk campaign, please post your questions on the official Living Greyhawk message board forum, located on the Wizards community boards.
All other questions regarding Dungeons & Dragons or the RPGA should be submitted though our customer service Knowledge Base, where you can reach our staff, or your question may already be answered online.
All references to the three Dungeons & Dragons core rulebooks refer to the version 3.5.
Much of the information in this FAQ will be added to the next version of the Living Greyhawk Campaign Sourcebook. This particular Dispel Confusion focuses on the introduction of the Spell Compendium to the campaign. As always, all such updates are effective immediately from the date of this document's publication.
Q: Complete Adventurer has rules for bardic music used with masterwork instruments. How does this work in the Living Greyhawk campaign?
A:The Living Greyhawk campaign does allow for the use of this optional rule; however, a character with bardic music must obtain access to these special uses for certain instruments from campaign documentation. You can think of it as specialized training, often only a secret held by the greatest performers whom may be unwilling to part with it unless you've proven yourself.
Q: I've noticed that the recent Spell Compendium updates and revises many spells, including quite a few used in the Living Greyhawk campaign. What's the plan for this book?
A: A huge tome containing over 1,000 spells, the Spell Compendium allows Living Greyhawk players to stop juggling around bunches of books for their spells, and find most of them in one source. The Spell Compendium is being integrated into the Living Greyhawk campaign effective on February 1, 2006. Hundreds of spells used in the campaign were altered – some significantly, and some with very minor changes. These changes to spells are considered official errata. As a result, all players that have characters using spells from any of the sources listed on page 285 of the Spell Compendium should be certain to review them for changes. In order to prepare your spellcasting characters for the updated material, you'll need to do the following:
The spells listed below are allowed spells in the Living Greyhawk campaign from the "Complete" series of books and the Miniatures Handbook. The list is intended for your reference – to make it easier to find spells and domains with some significant changes. Note that many spells did not change level, but changed in function, and thus are not listed below.
A notation of levels after a spell's name (such as "4th to 5th") means that the spell changed levels in all listed classes in the spell's description. A notation of a class name followed by a level (such as "druid 3 to druid 2") means that the spell's level only changed for the class or classes specified. A notation of "added" with a class and level (such as "added paladin 1") means that the spell was added to spell list for the indicated class or classes. A notation of "removed" with a class and level (such as "removed sorcerer/wizard 2") means that the spell was removed from the spell list indicated class or classes.
Spells that have changed names: Aid, legion's (now aid, mass)Align fang, legion's (now align fang, mass)Align weapon, legion's (now align weapon, mass)Assay resistance (now assay spell resistance)Bane bow (now foebane)Bigby's slapping hand (now slapping hand)Chameleon (now camouflage)Cloudwalkers (now cloud-walkers)Conviction, legion's (now conviction, mass)Curse of petty failing (now curse of ill fortune)Curse of petty failing, legion's (now curse of ill fortune, mass)Force whip (now sonic whip)Leomund's hidden lodge (now hidden lodge)Mordenkainen's buzzing bee (now buzzing bee)Otiluke's dispelling screen (now dispelling screen)Otiluke's dispelling screen, greater (now dispelling screen, greater)Shield of faith, legion's (now shield of faith, mass)Snake's swiftness, legion's (now snake's swiftness, mass)Superior invisibility (now invisibility, superior)Undeniable gravity (now earthbind)

Some of my previous blog posts about Ikebukuro are here:
- Tokyo Kit Kat Chocolatory in Ikebukuro and the Many Types of Japanese Kit Kat
- Tokyo 2013 Trip Highlights: Day 7 Part 2 - Artnia (the Square Enix Cafe), Tokyu Hands, and the Ikebukuro Animate Store
- The First Evangelion Store in Ikebukuro (moved from Harajuku)
- New Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro
My first stop was inside the train station itself in the basement food floor of the SEIBU department store. I got in a line to get their gourmet Kit Kats in the fruit flavours along with some other specialties. See the link above for more details. Exiting from the fabulous food floor, I then went across the street from the south end of the SEIBU to the Lotteria across the street.
|SEIBU Deptarment Store. Looking NW. To the north of this building is the PARCO where the Evangelion Store is.
|They had the basement all themed up for an anime. This location is often set to an anime theme at this location. So you can grab a burger and enjoy the ambiance.
|Idolmaster Cinderella Girls theme.
|Even the tables have anime designs on them.
|They show little video snippets too, to entertain you while you eat.
|P Parco Annex where the Evangelion Store is now.
|Poster at the train station about the Evangelion Store.
|Gundam models.
|Kantai Collection. This was one of the bigger items being advertised and promoted while I was in Tokyo.
|I went into the Parco and up to the Evangelion Store. It isn't nearly as big as the old store in Harajuku, but it is of a decent size. There is plenty of Evangelion merchandise and exclusives to the shop.
|It is like a large section inside the store which is made up of a whole bunch of mainly fashion shops.
|Evangelion merchandise.
|Lots of cool looking Evangelion themed mugs and cups.
|Nice looking model of EVA 01.
|Some interesting shop fronts.
|Animate main store! Many floors of anime merchandise goodness. I like this store a lot.
|Magazine section on the main floor.
|All sort of souvenir snacks that are branded by Love Live and other shows on the main floor.
|Fate / Stay Night.
|Kancolle stuff.
|I love this cooking anime and who doesn't like Yuki from Haruhi.
|Stacks of manga magazines.
|More manga volumes.
|Then back out on the main street heading over to Sunshine City.
|I stopped in at the Tokyu Hands and saw a great Gudetama goods section. Who doesn't like the lazy egg? Japan is a little odd for having mascots that get eaten.
|I got one of the little egg / with bacon blanket danglers. Very Cute.
|All kinds of colorful pens as they have tons of craft and stationary stuff. Lots of housewares. You can shop for hours and hours in this place.
|Copic ink markers for manga and more. Way cheaper in Japan than over here, but still not cheap.
|Cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji for your window.
|They have some deluxe capsule toy machines too.
|Capsule machines.

Well, this is it, my first attempt at a blog and I think "Attempt", is the appropriate word! I'm not exactly happy with the layout of this but for now it will have to do, if I wait to produce a "good" personalised blog it might be charting my life as an O.A.P (and I'm not quite there yet!)
I am an amateur card maker and my main love is stamping and colouring using copic pens, it strikes me that when you see the question, "If you could only save one thing from a burning house what would it be?" (barring family & pets) for me it would undoubtedly be my case of copics- how sad is that !
My favourite stamps are Lili of the Valley but I also have a lot of Crafter's Companion ones & I can't wait for the upcoming Humphrey launch. I shall attempt to blog each day and am going take the bull by the horns and upload a photo of my Mum's birthday card.
I used the LOTV Hello Cupcake Stamp, Copics, Card candy and the Grand Calibur. the flowers were a mega bargain at Ally Pally :) x

Population: General information
As a service to the public, municipalities are the first link between residents and the administration. They have as their directing principal all of the rules of life, created democratically in the interest of the community.
The various municipal departments accompany, assist, or govern people in the things that concern them the most, their life and their community.
The Population and Civil Registry Departments are among the most important. They provide constant services for the public. They also update the registry of all people who live alone, with others, or as a family in the municipality.
The Population Department connects citizens to the various federal public services that come into play in their daily life.
The management of the Population Department is thus meant to be a harmonious mix of strictness and flexibility.
Civil Registry: General Information
The Civil Registry is a system of written pieces of proof that relate to a person's civil status, having been previously prepared by an Officer of the Civil Registry.
At the Civil Registry Department, all sorts of legal facts and certificates concerning civil status are registered.
These give rise to documents called "CIVIL REGISTRY CERTIFICATES" which are prepared by the Officer of the Civil Registry.
These certificates state the year, day, and hour at which they were received and the first and last names, ages, and residences of all persons named in them (Art 34 C.C.)
There is a certificate for each one of life's events: birth, recognition, adoption, marriage, divorce, death, and naturalization.

Painting is a way of expressing the emotions of a person onto paper. Acrylic Paintings are those paintings which are made from acrylic paints.
Acrylic paintings are similar to oil paintings, but they use water and not oil as the base. The acrylic paints come in tubes just like oil paint does.
The acrylic paints are quick drying paints which have ' pigment suspension' into acrylic polymer emulsion.
According to Wikipedia, acrylic paint is fast-drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolour or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
You can use them as it is, right from the tubes or, you can add water or acrylic thinner and make them similar to the water colours.
These acrylic paints are actually made from a plastic base, but can be made more fluid using water.
Acrylic paints have a lot of advantages.
The advantage is that they dry off quickly as opposed to the oil paints, which may take a longer period of time.
Apart from this, they are also a quick way to learn painting and also easier to mix similar to the oil paints.

Nightmare in Wax (1969)
WRITER: Rex Carlton
DIRECTOR: Bud Townsend
STARRING: Cameron Mitchell as Vincent Renard
Anne Helm as Marie Morgan
Scott Brady as Detective Haskell
Berry Kroeger as Max Black
Victoria Carroll as Theresa
Phillip Baird as Tony Deen
Johnny Cardos as Sergeant Carver
Hollis Morrison as Nick
James Forrest as Alfred Herman
QUICK CUT: An up and coming special effects man tries to recover from a horrible accident, but along the way he alienates all his friends.
Vince Renard - Our...hero? Villain? Antagonist? He's kinda all things to all people. He's the character whose story we follow, and he's certainly sympathetic for what happens to him, but at the same time, he's the guy going on the Hollywood Murder Revenge Tour 1969. Anyways, there was once a good guy there, a lover, a makeup effects artist who was demoted to running a wax museum after a tragic accident.
Marie Morgan - Vince's love interest, and ready to marry him, until his face gets Doctor Doomed. And it's not long before she's moved on to other men. I want to like her, she seems otherwise a good soul, but the plot does rather make her unlikable by bouncing around so many guys so quickly.
Max Black - The head guy of Paragon Pictures, that employed Max and Marie. He's the one who burned Vince, and has a secret love for Marie. He's possessive, he's a loudmouth, and almost your typical Hollywood executive.
Detective Haskell - A cop who's actually not an idiot. He does his job, and actually is close to solving the case, if he would just look a little harder.
Nick - The main caretaker of Vince's wax museum. The guy loves his job, he's charming and friendly, and the tour groups love him. His only problem is a drinking problem, which makes him easily suggestible.
THE GUTS: Welcome back, Triskelions! It looks like the Nightmares continue. We've run down Elm Street, we spent a Weekend with George, and now we have Nightmares in Wax! A semi accidental loose theme month here at Trisk, yes. I'd scheduled the first two for February, the first one being obvious, and then I noticed the titles. So I figured, let me dig around and find a third "Nightmare" movie, and here we are! It's also time to dig through the 50 packs, and I came across this little known flick.
Nightmare in Wax is your typical 60s style thriller hastily tossed together to fill screens, about a former special effects artist who goes into the wax museum business after a terrible accident, and seeks revenge on those responsible for his disfigurement, and every other bad thing that's ever happened to him. So let's dive right in!
Before we can get to the good stuff though, we have to meet our canon fodder for the next 90 minutes, and that happens at an engagement annoucement for starlet Marie Morgan, during another party for Paragon Pictures latest film, and helmed by the head of the stuido, Max Black. Oh, and there's also Marie's fiance, Tony Dean.
With the intros out of the way, we follow Tony as he heads home for the evening...and is immediately assaulted by an unseen figure injecting him in the neck while he waits for the elevator. Such a thoughtful engagement gift!!
From there it's on to the wax museum where Nick the caretaker is showing people around while Vincent Renard watches people enjoy his work. The star attraction of the museum is a triptych of figures of Paragon Pictures stars that have coincidentally gone missing. And hey! They're about to add a fourth figure to the display - Tony Dean!
This is not suspicious at all! Time to move along!
As the tour group is lead off to the next exhibit by Nick, Vincent heads back to his lab, and there is a GIANT vat of wax beneath a platform and rickety wooden railing. Railing kill! Railing kill! Cross your fingers everyone!!
Fortunately, the cops are already on to how sketchy this whole display sounds, and Detective Haskell shows up to knock on Vince's door. There really is very little mystery at all to this movie. We know the who and the why pretty quickly, the cops seem to be on the same page, it's just a question of how and why everything is gonna collide.
The cops have heard that Vince is working on a Tony Dean model, and want to take a look at his head. Vince is more than willing to show it off, and it's clearly not really Tony, since it's just a head, right?
Vincent tries to move suspicion off himself by saying Paragon had a two million dollar insurance policy out on Tony, and that's motive to have him killed off. What could Vince possibly have against the guy to kill him?
While they chat motives, the cops also reveal that there is something in common between Vince and Max, they were both in love with Marie, as were two other guys, who just so happen to be two of the three other missing people, and two of the three wax figures in the other room. HMM.
So we flash back to happier times for Vincent, before his face was Doctor Doomed, and he had two eyes. Vince and Marie were a secret item, while the world and Max still believe she's with him, and Vince urges his girl to tell the studio head they're through.
As Vincent has a smoke, Max gets all yelly and possessive. He sees Vince light up, takes one look at the glass of bourbon in his hand, and tosses it right in Vince's face. The secret origin of Waxman!
Y'know, you would think Max throwing alcohol into a smoking man's face, in a room FILLED with people, might've been a huge case that ruined Paragon Pictures, if not Max Black. However, it was ruled an accident, and no one lived happily ever after!
The cops can't really see any motive in the disappearances that really connect Vincent, since he would have surely killed Max and/or Marie! Give him time, he's working up to them, trust me.
So they head over to Marie's place to tell her all about the heaping plate of nothing they've found. But so we flashback to Vince in his recovery period, all bandaged up, and Marie not dealing well with it.
And you gotta love the 60s. The guy gets his face melted by alcohol being thrown in it while smoking...and he keeps right on smoking for the rest of the movie!
This visit stirs up old memories for Marie, and I don't just mean the wavy flashback. She calls up Vince to ask him to dinner, and to see his work. Yes, Vince! Go to dinner! Reconnect! There is still a flame there to spark! ...Heck, throw some alcohol on the spark, you know that works. What? Too soon?
But once he's off the phone, someone starts chanting "Hello, Marie" and it's revealed that gasp surprise, Tony is still alive, and getting injected regularly by Vincent to keep him docile.
Since we're on a reconnection tour, Max shows up at Marie's next, to try and talk her back into acting, as she's taken some time off. As one does when everyone you love disappears. But she won't budge, and neither will Max, and then Vincent shows up. Aaaaawkward.
Max runs off after his victim arrives, and the two former lovers have their chat. Marie wants Tony's wax head, and uh, more awkward. That might be more difficult than she thinks.
Eventually, Vincent agrees however, so long as Marie will pose for him to become a...er, model for a wax figure.
Meanwhile, Nick is closing up the museum for the night and chatting up all the figures. I'm just waiting for him to be sucked into a werewolf movie at this point.
As he's hanging out with the dummies from Paragon, one of them blinks at Nick, and he freaks out, rushing to Vincent for help. Vince tells him it's all his drinking, and he just needs to have a little bit more booze. And I swear, this EXACT SCENE is played for laughs in the giallo parody, "The Editor".
Once he's taken care of Nick, Vincent heads out to his zombie dummies, and gives Stella another injection to stop the blinking problem. Aaand because this is a horror movie from the sixties, it's time for a lengthy musical dance number at a club.
But it does also serve to introduce the girl Vince has been creating a head for in his evil lab, finally. She's a total airhead, and completely the stereotypical dumb blonde dancer who wants to be in pictures.
And surprise! She's dating Max! Man, Vincent just has the worst luck picking women, doesn't he?? Theresa is almost painfully bimbonic. She has that *voice* that was so typical of the ditzy girls of the time in films, and she doesn't know what *I* think are common words. I want all of her scenes to be over so, so soon.
Oh right, back to the story, her dating Max is all part of Vincent's plan, as he sets up a session for the girl to come by and pose for him, and show off the place, and hey! Why not bring Max? It'll be a murdery good time!
The plot thinnens as Max visits Alfred, the director on what should be Marie's next picture, and they all conspire to have as part of the film, using the wax museum and Tony's head as a tribute to the disappeared actor. So everyone's spiraling around coming to the wax museum over the weekend, slowwwly pulling threads together.
Alfred visits Vince to set things up, and sees the Paragon trio, and Vince *outright says* that maybe they're not gone, maybe they're just hypnotised into standing right there like wax dummies! Damnit Vince, YOU are the dummy now... You could seriously learn some subtlety from William Paisley.
Oh, but there's a wrinkle, Alfred reveals that in his research into just that sort of thing for his movie, he discovered that electricity disturbs the waxification injection and hypnotic effects. ...Because of course it does. Not only is this common enough that people can do research into it for movies, but it's randomly vulnerable to a static charge. Seriously. Alfred says touching the hypnotised can break the spell.
So the night comes, and Theresa and Max arrive to check out the Theresa head. Now, I'm sure they used the actress's REAL head to save time and money, but since the actress is RIGHT THERE, let's just go with the movie saying this is actually Vince's handiwork. This means Vince is actually REALLY GOOD at his work. Incredibly good. The best, no question.
Which means there's really NO need for the hypnotised wax not-dummies in the main room. Sure, he wants to be rid of his rivals, but the complications of keeping them under, the risk of people finding out...WHY? Just make your damned wax dummies the old fashioned way, Vince. YOU ROCK at it. Grab a trophy, maybe some hair, or a necklace, slip them onto your actual dummies...boom!
Not to mention the outright absurdity of the whole injection and hypnotisation thing is uh, really unbelievable, from needing to eat, to needing to crap. Just dispose of the bodies, Vincent.
While they're celebrating, oops! Vince drugged the wine, and Max falls back into a chair, and Vincent reveals his dastardly deeds of kidnapping his rivals and putting them on display for people to stare and laugh at. Okay, that *almost* mitigates my questions of why, but only barely. It's still an amazingly complex plan that seems way more trouble than it's worth.
As Max slumps into his chair for a nap, Vincent confronts Theresa, begging her to scream as he starts chasing her around the closed museum. She's more than willing to scream her head off as she runs for her life.
I appreciate the chase, and it uses the creepy nature of a wax musem adequately enough, but it's one of those dastardly scenes that goes on for too long. On the one hand, you want them to get on with things. On the other hand, it is nice to actually use the place you're in.
Eventually Vincent grabs her with a noose and hoists her up for a few brief moments, and she STILL lets out amazingly loud, piercing screams. Dubbed I'm sure, but it still makes you question.
Vince finally corners her back towards his wax vat, and she backs over a platform over it. Rai! Ling! Kill! Rai! Ling! Kill!!
Sadly, no railing deaths yet, she just...walks away from her potential doom, and Vince catches her and stabs her. And he starts asking with much anger, why didn't she scream? WHY DIDN'T SHE SCREAM?? like if she had, he would have spared her.
Dude. DUDE. She screamed. Lots. And loudly. SHE SCREAMED WHILE HANGING FROM A NOOSE. I think that flaming head thing you had going ruined your hearing more than your face, Vincent.
With the girl taken care of, Vince turns his attention to Max, who reveals the cops have been following him around since Tony disappeared, and are gonna come storming into the place if he doesn't leave. Lousy cops, actually doing their jobs in this film.
Vince does the smart thing and carries Terry off to the car and drives off, so the cops think everything is hunky dory, and they follow whom they think is Max around some more.
You can tell while he drives and rants, that Vince has totally lost it. He could've found some sort of redemption up to this point. He could've stopped. People were still alive. He was just angry and upset. But he's started calling the dead girl Marie, ranting randomly, and muttering. He is *gone*.
If I thought the waxwork chase was long, trying to lose the cops is even longer. It goes on so long, Vince lights up no less than three cigarettes during the entire thing.
But he finally loses them, and they find the car with Theresa's dead body inside, so now all the blame falls on Max's shoulders. Which works out nicely. Vince may not be all there, but he's good with the cunning plan.
Naturally, Haskell swings by the waxwork again, since the case seems to be wrapped up, and he's actually smart enough to suggest how funny it is that every time Vince sculpts a new likeness, someone goes missing or ends up dead! Have you seen Max lately, Vince?
It's Marie's turn to come around the wax museum to check out Tony's head, and while there, Haskell decides to hide out inside and look around after closing because he's still suspicious.
And wouldn't you know it? There's a thunderstorm outside, so the not-dummies are all on the blink again. I still can't get over electricity revives them. Even just a lightning bolt zipping from cloud to cloud. I could walk by with one of those plasma lightning ball toys, and wake them up.
Behind the scenes, Vince leads Marie to one of his platforms which are actually boxes for his victims to sit in, and make it look like he's just molding a head if anyone doesn't look too closely. Well, as long as they look at it with their eyes squinted. Well, maybe if they were blind.
Once she's settled in, Vince reveals Tony is alive and his hypnotised mind slave who no longer needs to breathe or move or eat because the puppetmaster says so. Riiight. You sir, are no Andre Toulon. You're not even Rick from Puppet Master 4 and 5. I wish there was another Puppet Master movie to review... Heck, this isn't even as good a serum as the one from Horrors of the Black Museum.
He also has Max get up and walk over the vat of wax and RAILING KILL RAILLING KILLLL...nope, not yet, he just walks out on the plank, ties a rope around himself, and Vince dangles the Hollywood mogul over the vat threatening to give us a Wax Black..
Since Vince wants an audience, he goes and summons the two guys starting to blink, and the cop follows. Oh, then the last female victim follows *him* with her knife. Y'know, unless I missed it, they never explained why she was there.
The woman follows the cop and slices the gun out of his hand into the wax, and proceeds to swipe at him, eventually stabbing some random electrical equipment. I...don't understand? She wasn't commanded to do it, she just went after Haskell.
While dangling over the vat, Max suddenly starts laughing madly, infuriating Vince. I know they say laughter is the best medicine, but that's supposed to be your OWN laughter, not someone else's directed at you!
In anger, Vince pounces on the dangling producer, and before we can get a Wax Black or a proper railing kill, Vince slips and falls to his own waxecutional.
Or something. We get a few minutes of him under'water' as wavery images of all the people in the movie he's captured stand and cackle.
After what SHOULD be the end of the movie, there's a ringing phone, and we hear Marie tell Vince she's decided to tell Max at the party tonight that they're going to get married.
While I'm sitting here pondering just what the heck is going on, the movie flashes back through itself, through the accident, the burning, the hospital and damnit, reused footage.
The movie stutters to an ending as Vince pulls his hands away from his face, and reveals he has...TWO EYEBALLS. WHAT A TWIST!
Yes, for the entire movie...IT WAS ALL A DREAM. Or...A NIGHTMARE. Yeesh. A nightmare is right.
Fortunately, the nightmares are over now, at least for movies. I still have my own nightmares of all the leprechaun movies last year. Those will forever haunt me. But thankfully I finished all those last year, and have no more Leprechaun movies to dread coming after me in March.
Video: Ahh, the curse of 50 packs. Honestly, this doesn't look THAT bad. The quality for The Revenge of Dr. X on the same disc, which I reviewed a few years ago, looks way way worse. There IS a lot of artifacting though, and the colours are on the duller side. It looks way better than I've come to expect from four movies crammed onto one disc though.
Audio: A mono track that doesn't sound terrible. Maybe flat, maybe a bit muffled, but it's all right enough under the constraints.
Sound Bite: "WHY WOULDN'T SHE SCREAM??"
Body Count: Given the IT WAS ALL A DREAM nature, no one died. Vince didn't even get burned. But here's the people that passed on during the course of Vince's nightmare.
1 - The first actual death happens a whopping 65 minutes in when Vince stabs Theresa.
2 - The female wax notdummy electrocutionals herself accidentally.
3 - Vincent accidentally dives in and waxecutionals himself.
Best Corpse: Bleh. Very little to choose from, we never see the dronwed wax Vincent. The rest are meh. No best this time out!
Blood Type - F: It's the old tale of an old movie with different standards being pretty clean on the blood subject. I can't even give points for good makeup effects, which is the height of irony since the lead is supposed to excel at precisely that! Did you see his scars? Laughable.
Sex Appeal: Even less of this than blood.
Drink Up! Whenever someone smokes. Let me know if you survive.
Video Nasties: A rather lengthy clip this time, but I wanted to preserve the whole chase through the museum, and the setup to the screaming pay off.
Movie Review: Bloody hell is this movie campy and absurd. I give it a lot of slack, because absurd to the point of almost magical abilities in 60s era horror movies are pretty much standard. The bad guys all of these serums that do things that just don't work. I almost wonder if there's some connection with this serum and the more classic voodoo style of zombies, and they were trying to play off that. But anyways, this movie is cheap, it looks cheap, the acting is nothing to write home about, and there's no real mystery or surprise. It's just going along for the ride to see how things turn up. And right up until the final moments, it's not a terrible ride, even with all that. It's got a few long scenes, but it's otherwise paced nicely, with some decent interaction. Three out of five wax heads.
Entertainment Value: My reaction of flipping over a table at the final reveal might be the most entertaining thing about this movie, but it's still kinda fun. Cameron Mitchell is a decent actor, and I like what he brought to the role. You can see the two sides of Max battling it out for his sanity, and he only chews the scenery when it's appropriate, and he does it pretty well. It's clearly a hastily crafted movie made to fill screens, like a lot of horror, and thus it's not great, but it has some fun buried in there. Three out of five eyepatches.

Aidan taught me something about myself yesterday. Passion itself is a good thing, but can be manifested in such way that it becomes a bad thing. He describes my passion as beautiful, strong and true, but says I throw it all into one thing, which blinds me to everything else. It does spill out of me. . . Problem: I suck people down with me when that whirlwind of excitement moves on to the next thing. I have no balance. I have no level-headed ability to organize and deal with my passions wisely and in good time. I fly into things-- but fly out of them as well. I was humbled when Aidan said; "I have passion as well. I just don't show it the same way."The man was right. At the bottom of the page I wrote;
Titus 3:3 . . . enslaved by . . . passion. I can't be enslaved.

EDINBURGH has been named second in a global tourists' top 10 list of the best UK destinations.
The Scottish capital was beaten to the top spot by London, while Glasgow placed tenth in the top 10 list, compiled from numerous TripAdvisor reviews.
And aside from London, Torquay is the only other 'southern' destination on the list, with the rest of the top 10 made up of 'northern' locations including Welsh seaside town Llandudno, Keswick in the Lake District, Northern Ireland capital Belfast as well as York, Blackpool and Liverpool.
In a table based on European destinations, London is third behind first-placed Istanbul and second-placed Prague.
London is in sixth place in the world table, which is a drop from the third place achieved last year, although the UK capital has the distinction of having been in the top 10 for five successive years.
Top world destination is Marrakech in Morocco, with Siem Reap in Cambodia second, Istanbul third and Hanoi in Vietnam fourth.
Rome has dropped from second last year to seventh, while New York has failed to make the top 10 for the second year running - and there are no Scottish representatives in the world top 10.
TripAdvisor spokesman James Kay said: "In the UK, competition is fierce, with great value destinations like Llandudno and Blackpool more than holding their own against larger-city rivals."
These are the best-rated UK destinations:
1. London
2. Edinburgh
3. Llandudno
4. Torquay
5. Liverpool
6. Blackpool
7. Belfast
8. York
9. Keswick
10. Glasgow

We've been watching
Some candidates are motivated by something they lack. For L.B.J., it was respect. For
But other candidates are propelled by what some
Obama has the biography of the first group but the personality of the second. He grew up with an absent father and a peripatetic mother. "I learned long ago to distrust my childhood," he wrote in "Dreams From My Father." This is supposed to produce a politician with gaping personal needs and hidden wounds.
But over the past two years, Obama has never shown evidence of that. Instead, he has shown the same untroubled self-confidence day after day.Continue reading the main story
There has never been a moment when, at least in public, he seems gripped by inner turmoil. It's not willpower or self-discipline he shows as much as an organized unconscious. Through some deep, bottom-up process, he has developed strategies for equanimity, and now he's become a homeostasis machine.
When Bob Schieffer asked him tough questions during the debate Wednesday night, he would step back and describe the broader situation. When
Through the debate, he was reassuring and self-composed. McCain, an experienced old hand, would blink furiously over the tension of the moment, but Obama didn't reveal even unconscious signs of nervousness. There was no hint of an unwanted feeling.
They say we are products of our environments, but Obama, the sojourner, seems to go through various situations without being overly touched by them. Over the past two years, he has been the subject of nearly unparalleled public worship, but far from getting drunk on it, he has become less grandiloquent as the campaign has gone along.
When Bill Clinton campaigned, he tried to seduce his audiences. But at Obama rallies, the candidate is the wooed not the wooer. He doesn't seem to need the audience's love. But they need his. The audiences hunger for his affection, while he is calm, appreciative and didactic.
He doesn't have F.D.R.'s joyful nature or Reagan's happy outlook, but he is analytical. That's why this William Ayers business doesn't stick. He may be liberal, but he is never wild. His family is bourgeois. His instinct is to flee the revolutionary gesture in favor of the six-point plan.
This was not evident back in the "fierce urgency of now" days, but it is now. And it is easy to sketch out a scenario in which he could be a great president. He would be untroubled by self-destructive demons or indiscipline. With that cool manner, he would see reality unfiltered. He could gather — already has gathered — some of the smartest minds in public policy, and, untroubled by intellectual insecurity, he could give them free rein. Though he is young, it is easy to imagine him at the cabinet table, leading a subtle discussion of some long-term problem.
Of course, it's also easy to imagine a scenario in which he is not an island of rationality in a sea of tumult, but simply an island. New presidents are often amazed by how much they are disobeyed, by how often passive-aggressiveness frustrates their plans.
It could be that Obama will be an observer, not a leader. Rather than throwing himself passionately into his causes, he will stand back. Congressional leaders, put off by his supposed intellectual superiority, will just go their own way. Lost in his own nuance, he will be passive and ineffectual. Lack of passion will produce lack of courage. The Obama greatness will give way to the Obama anti-climax.
We can each guess how the story ends. But over the past two years, Obama has clearly worn well with voters. Far from a celebrity fad, he is self-contained, self-controlled and maybe even a little dull.Continue reading the main story

I can't say for certain, But I've run ~30A through one before and it didn't burst into flames. (note I ran it through the 2 end plugs cause I was worried). They're really not intended for current applications though. More for quick connect/disconnects for sensors and whatnot
SO I wonder, are we ever going to see a version of this with RGB LEDs installed? For example, make a temp gague or something, and as it heats up colors shift from blue to green to yellow to red to flashing or other silly things like that.
So... I could use this as a much simpler way, to do what I've already done. (made my airsoft guns all have a circuit inside them that only allows them to fire while a certain resistance (within a tolerance) connection is added to the circuit (by 2 contacts on the handle or stock, and a resistor sewn into my gloves) so noone can steal my stuff. Hmm making it fancy and slightly more advanced sounds like fun now.
Hmm im wondering, how would a trace made by this react to getting painted over?? Contemplating a costume project that would be a bit easier if there was less wiring, and since a lot of the wiring will probably need to be on the outer surface (its a suit of armor kinda thing) It'd be nice if you could do all the traces, make sure everything works, then paint over (I can varnish over it first too, then put the paint)
hmmmm, water based :(
It might be good to update the little paper cover you get on this thing to say that theres only 1 10K trimpot, I had remembered it only saying theres 1 in it on the site here (which I only got one, have about 50 form a previous order though). but the cover of the case specifys 2. might bring someone down a bit when they get one of these with their first ardino and then they think that they got shafted on a couple parts. Also, Could probably put a few more LEDs in here and throw in 1 shift register, that so vastly expand what one could do with this at very little cost. And would give people who get it more reason to look into picking up a hobby uController to learn more. (It was a 74HC that a friend had in a project of his that got me started into this world)
Dudes, no offence, you really need to start getting these in more supply. Been waiting on these for a project @ work since mid March. And I'd personally figure these are a fairly standard part you guys should have large quantities of in stock.
If one were to mount one of these to an uno's proto shield, I could get the gnd and 5v off the uno, how could I connect it to the uno's crystal. I'm plotting to make a rig that requires more ports then a single uno has but not enough to warrant a mega. And I was planning on just mounting one of these to a shield, having it recieve data from the blob of rotary encoders that will be involved as sensors, then sending that data over Tx/Rx to the uno below which would be doign the math with the encoder's data and driving some motors.
Hey there sparkfun. TY for these things, they're great and all, but I was wondering if you guys might come out with a line of them that are about 4"x 3" (maybe 4x2) with straight corner holes. No offence, but the offset center holes on the side, and the single hole towards the end kinda get in the way of some projects. Also like many others have said here, having the double sided tracing really makes it a hassle having to flip the thing over and recut every trace (backwards this time) to get it right, (I've actually found running my sander over this for a few mins taking all of 1 side off is better int eh long run). I don't mind cuttign the traces, no prob there. But like another mentioned, a horizontally traced breadboard-esque version (with space in the center for DIP Chips) would be pretty nifty IMO (and would be a big help on my next few projects.) Well I'm just saying, you know, something to think about.
Hey if I wanted, could you set up 2 of these registers in parallel so that 2 of them receive the exact same info simultaneously?
wow ty for the explination dude, now i think i can make an LED project I'm working on run on an uno instead of having to get a mega for it. Good thing these are only a $1.50. One thing I wonder though, if you had say 8 of these daisy chained (thats what 64 outputs) would that start getting towards the edge of an uno's power output just running the cheap leds (not the really bright ones)?

about us
Our History
Friend of St. Francis Childcare Center was founded in 1976 by St. Francis Lutheran Church, residents of Duboce Triangle and Friends Outside. The facility at 50 Belcher Street has been provided since its inception by St. Francis Church whose generosity has enabled the Center to provide high quality early childhood education and care for families from diverse economic backgrounds. At the Center's inception and for seven years, priority was given to families referred by Friends Outside so that ex offenders parents could return to the workforce.
Over the years changes have included increasing and upgrading the Center's space and opening a state-of-the-art outdoor play area and a preschool garden classroom, one of the best in the city! At this time the center focuses on nurturing the habitat in the outdoor area, promoting social-emotional well being, facilitating literacy and kindergarten success programming.
In the early 80's the center joined forces with the Parent Services Project, Inc., strengthening the interface and collaboration of staff and parents. Through funding from the Walter Johnson Foundation, the center hired its first Parent Services Coordinator.
Junior League funding allowed the center to increase staff to cover parent conferences, assessments, and professional development, and to engage the services of a psychologist and an occupational therapist. The center has provided mental health services since 1994. Intergenerational programming has become a critical part of the center's offering – FOSF enjoys the support of senior volunteers and interns from Family Service Agency and Self Help For the Elderly.
Today, the center serves 38 children. Approximately half of the families pay full tuition on a sliding scale while half receive partial to full tuition support through the California Department of Education's subsidy program.

Reformation Tours: Glasgow Cathedral
20 Nov 2019 | Featured News
There is a lot to see in and around Glasgow Cathedral with regards to Scotland's Reformation and the Covenanters, and it's one of the places…
From the 2nd-9th August, 6 young people from Airdrie RPCS and 1 from Glasgow RPCS were at the RPCI Youth Camps in Northern Ireland. Here are some of their highlights:
Girls Discovery Camp
"The talks were on 'Princesses in the Bible', and my favourite princess was Esther. My favourite activity was the scavenger hunt, and my team won. The best thing about Camp is seeing my friends." – Catherine Quigley (Airdrie)
Girls Adventure Camp
"The talks were on Daniel, and I really remembered the talk on 'Bitterness' that was about the words we speak and thinking about what we say. My favourite activity was the airplane day. The best part about Camp is the new people you get to meet. " – Heather McIndoe (Airdrie)
"The thing I remembered from the talks on Daniel was how we have to start making commitments when we're young. My favourite activity was the messy games. The best part about Camp is getting to see your friends again and getting to know new officers." – Jessica Muir (Airdrie)
Boys Discovery Camp
"Our talks were on Daniel too, and I didn't know that the Daniel in the lion's den was the same Daniel as the one in the other stories. My favourite activity was banana boating. The best thing about Camp was going to the Tayto factory." – Campbell Quigley (Airdrie)
"One thing I learned from the talks was that because Daniel believed in God, God sent angels down from heaven that shut the lion's mouth, so he wouldn't die. My favourite activity was banana boating. The best thing about Camp is squad games." – Adam Smith (Airdrie)
Boys Adventure Camp
"Our talks were on temptation, and one thing I really remember is that Jesus also got tempted, not just by the devil, but He didn't fall to temptation like we do. My favourite activity was mountain biking. The best thing about Camp is the talks." – Calvin Quigley (Airdrie)
"I learnt from the talks self-discipline and to try not to give into temptations. Squad games and coastal jumping were by far my favourite activities. The best thing about camp was making new friends and the experience of everything!" – Andrew Turnbull (Glasgow)

Deep down we know that Christmas is all about 'doing good unto others' but in practice it's less about goodwill to others and more about self-preservation. Whether that's making sure there's enough sherry to keep grandma happy, or being able to get everyone exactly what they asked for. Because the truth is, Christmas can be pretty stressful – so many expectations and only one day to meet them. So what's the solution? Well, for us Brits, we simply spend our way through it.
Last year, we spent an average of £800 on Christmas, with most of that going on food and drink (we spend about £200 on pressies). With all those branches of the family tree coming together once a year, the pressure's on to provide a spread that they'll remember (with fond memories) until the next one.
But £800 on top of your everyday expenses is a lot of money and it's not just about making sure you've got enough mince pies and Quality Street. Your home needs to be 'Christmas ready' with enough proper plates and cutlery for everyone (paper plates and plastic knives and forks are simply not good enough). So a personal loan could be the solution if you're really in a pinch, and they aren't always about borrowing heaps of money – you can borrow from as little as £1,000.
When you consider taking out any loan, it's important to budget so that you know exactly how you're going to pay it back – because there's nothing more depressing than getting to Christmas and realising you still owe money for the last one.
Looking at the APR will let you compare loans but the APR you see may not be the APR you are offered, typically the best interest rates are offered to people with the highest credit scores and for higher loan amounts. Taking out a loan won't be for everyone so it's important to really understand what getting a loan is all about. Planned well, it can help you to get through the big day comfortably.
Like any big purchase, you should always do your research – which is why we've got the lowdown on some big name loan providers. Or, if you're conscious that Christmas is just around the corner and want to get stuck in, then start comparing loans today.

Eric Morris, former operations director for the UNHCR during Sarajevo, Rwanda, and Kosovo, has assigned more pages to read this summer than any other professor I have encountered. And yet, because of his enormous contribution to refugees and to the United Nations in general (and also my fear of being unprepared), I have plugged away, reading deep into the night, long after the Judge has turned off his reading light. I have even lent my bed partner my lavender eye pillow to block the light from his tired eyes.
The last class <sigh> is next Monday during which our final assignment is a real-time simulation of the UN Security Council on Syria. With only eight students in the class, there has been no place in which to hide. Preparation has been mandatory.
OK. I am playing the part of Vitaly Churkin, the Russian Federation's Ambassador to the U.N.
I am to present a 10 minute speech from Mr. Churkin.
Can you provide any advice?
What points would you make to Susan Rice, the U.S. Ambassador? To Great Britain? To China? Three students are playing South Africa, India, and Pakistan.
It should be interesting.

Developments That Offer New Opportunities
Many trends, whether market-driven or performance-related, offer new opportunities.
These opportunities could include any or all of attracting new clients, offering new or improved services and making more efficient use of existing resources.
Even developments that seem negative could represent opportunities in disguise.
All new developments are not necessarily negative.
Better Use of Existing Resources
The best of all possible opportunities allow us to increase the effectiveness and efficiency with which we use existing resources. In some cases, these opportunities help us do more with less. These opportunities focus on organizational and operational elements, helping reduce operating expenses.
From the perspective of marketing professional services, increased operational efficiency can also make it possible improve client service, increasing client satisfaction. Satisfied clients are an important source of repeat business and referrals, key elements of generating more new business.
Even better, increased operational efficiency might also free up the time to serve those new clients that time constraints prevented accepting.
New Opportunities to Attract & Serve More Clients
Many external or market trends offer new and exciting opportunities to attract and serve more clients.
Sometimes technological advances generate new ways of communicating with potential clients, actual clients and contacts. Other times, research offers new approaches to composing and preparing marketing messages.
Changes in demand might arise from the departure of competitors or shifting economic and social factors.
How many times have we heard the cliché expression that the only constant today is change? Optimists believe that invariably along with these changes come many new opportunities to generate more new business.
Opportunity Seduction
By their nature, entrepreneurs typically thrive on new challenges and are easily bored by performing repetitive same old tasks and familiar actions. As a result, they tend to respond more positively to new and appealing opportunities than to dealing with ongoing routine issues.
In many cases, it seems easier to chase after a new opportunity than to stay the course and continue towards the ultimate goal.
That's the downside of new and interesting opportunities. At the very least, they can be distractions, drawing attention away from the sometime arduous or even boring task of pursuing stated goals. And at their worst they can be so appealingly seductive that we are pulled totally off course in a new direction in pursuit of a shiny new objective.
The bottom line on new opportunities? If the opportunity can make a significant contribution to the achievement of your goals, seriously consider pursuing it.
On the other hand, an opportunity leads down a new path, unrelated to the achievement of your goals, take a pass on it. In a very short time, a new and more helpful opportunity will come your way.

text: Given how much has been modded/hackable in the past does it seem likely the Garmin Fenix GPS watch with BLE will be made to communicate and allow notifications from Android phone? The Fenix currently pairs and is compatible with the iPhone. Garmin's position is (paraphrasing) there are too many versions/models of Android. On the later model Android phones is an app all that is needed? It was known going in that there was no support for Android. The watch's features are outstanding as a stand alone watch. It would be "over the top" if someday it would allow for Android notifications. I am using a Nexus 4 and the Tactix.:smokingsomb:

David Kattner, the longtime Dallas police officer accused of sexually assaulting prostitutes, has been found dead in his Little Elm home. WFAA reports that he was found by his wife after a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Kattner was arrested December 21 after detectives saw his alleged victim get out of Kattner's car. She told police that he'd threatened her with arrest and harm to her daughter if she didn't do what he wanted -- perform oral sex on Kattner while his hand was on his gun.

Kattner was part of a group of officers that sued D Magazine for defamation after a 2007 article accused them of issuing tickets to prostitutes and the homeless for offenses they didn't commit. When the people the tickets were issued to didn't show up to court or pay their fines, they were often picked up on felony charges. D won the lawsuit.

Lund introduces Renegade Series of fishing boats
Article Media Click images to enlarge +
Fishing boat manufacturer Lund has introduced the 2017 Renegade Series, a Mod V boat which includes versions for both bass and crappie anglers.
The series is built on Lund's IPS hull and comprises two models. The 1775 is17ft 9in long and is rated for a 90-horsepower engine, while the 1875 measures 18ft 9in and is rated for a 115-horsepower engine.
Both models have a 95in beam and 22-gallon fuel capacity, but the main difference is the livewell placement. The bass models have a 35in, 22-gallon livewell behind the seats, while the crappie version has two additional seat bases in the bow and a 12 gallon bow livewell that's easily accessible from the casting deck.
Storage was clearly a high priority in the design process. The port side bow rod locker in the 1775 holds rods up to 8ft., while the locker in the 1875 will accommodate rods up to 9ft. Both have custom-fitted internal tubes.
The middle compartment of the casting deck is built to store tackle trays and the starboard storage compartment will take soft plastics and extra clothing or gear.
There is a further concealed storage system under the bench seats in the cockpit area, accessed by flipping up the seat lids. And if that isn't enough, there are two large storage compartments in the back of the boat, complete with drain plugs and capable of holding tackle trays, tools and other equipment.
The Renegade incorporates Lund's IPS hull with reverse chines to prevent the boat from pitching dramatically when weight is shifted. The casting deck is designed to comfortably accommodate two adults.
While some aluminium boats tend to plow, Lund insists that the Renegade's bow lifts quickly to increase acceleration and enhance maneuverability.
Angler's will also appreciate the easy-to-read control panel and the flip-up cleats that stay of out the way while flipping and landing fish to reduce line tangles and snags.
The boat's smooth lines and bold colours carry understated Lund graphics. LED lighting is provided at bow and aft.

Here's my receipt from Whole Foods. I'm blowing it up so you can really look at what I bought (and what I spent). If you add in the cost of the Silvana meat I still have in the freezer, I spent about $190 a week on groceries for my family of four.
Last March I fed my family on $144.80 a week as part of the MyPlate on My Budget experiment. Could I follow the USDA thrifty food plan and feed my family the Choose MyPlate advised daily nutrients? The answer was yes, but it took a big toll on everyone.
An interesting thing I have discovered is that most people are extremely reluctant to share what they spend on groceries each month. The exception is people who are spending a ridiculously low about, like $300 a month for a family of six.
Food is really expensive and I'm wondering if many people, (like me), feel guilty when they get to the cash register.
Don't feel guilty!
If the MyPlate on My Budget experiment taught me anything, it's that quality food costs more because it's inherently worth more. Washington apples vs. New Zealand apples; Oregon shrimp vs. farmed shrimp from Thailand; freshness comes with a price AND a reward.
Filling your kids up with healthy snacks they actually like, means they might have better behavior. That's worth it, right?
I think that stores like Whole Foods and PCC get a bum rap for being too expensive.
But if you are really careful, you can do just fine.
For $183.80 I bought a week's worth of groceries, including two gallons of organic milk, lots of fresh veg for making green smoothies, GF yummies for mom, and the makings for a homemade pizza my son needs to make for a Cub Scouts requirement. I also bought a bunch of crackers, because we are all out. (That has been a major source of grumbling this past month.)
$190 a Week on (Mostly) Organic Groceries for a Family of Four
That's not bad!
I could easily have spent higher than that if I wasn't careful. But $190 was enough that I could buy food for a week without stressing out. Probably $200 a week would be a really comfortable level.
Rose McAvoy has some more thoughts about saving money on groceries that you might want to check out. In the meantime, I'm pouring myself another cup of coffee (with cream) and enjoying some GF pineapple cookies.
And I don't feel guilty at all.
