Mullu Muruku – Diwali Snack Recipes ( With Videos and Step wise Pictures)
I have thought that making muruku is one of the hard job I can imagine..I know many of you have that experience..
But Amma has simplified this process for you..She make the perfect muruku with no effort..Actually in our first batch of muruku making, she took rice and ground it in a grinder and made into a smooth paste..
But in our second batch we took rice flour and mixed it with powdered roasted channa dal flour and made muruku..And I am telling this is more tasty and easier than the first one..

Twenty-four-year-old singer and violinist Marques Toliver seems to have a fortuitous backstory. Born in South Daytona, Toliver moved to New York where he started busking, earning roughly $80 for three hours' work. While performing he was approached by Kyp Malone from TV On the Radio who suggested he work with the band on some songs (he has also played with Grizzly Bear). Fellow TVOTR member Dave Sitek then introduced him to Holly Miranda, whose touring band he joined briefly before moving to London in 2009. Bet he's pleased he took up busking, eh? Since moving to the UK he's been signed by Bella Union, and his debut EP, Butterflies Are Not Free, is out on 25 April. So what does he sound like? Deep in My Heart sighs and soars, Toliver's lush singing reminiscent of both Marvin Gaye and Maxwell, while plucked violin and autoharp create a sometimes jagged, sometimes pillowy sound. The rest of the EP is just as good.

Drafted by a suffragette in 1923, the Equal Rights Amendment has been stirring up controversy ever since. Many opponents considered it dead when a 10-year ratification push failed in 1982, yet its backers on Capitol Hill, in the Illinois statehouse and elsewhere are making clear this summer that the fight is far from over.
Last week, State Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago) bulldozed the measure, Senate Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 75, through the upper chamber 39-11-06, a vote that included two Republicans - Kirk Dillard and Minority Leader Christine Radogno.
SPRINGFIELD-Senate Democrats plan to make an end-of-session push this week to "rectify an historical wrong" -- and perhaps give women a strong reason to go to the polls this fall -- by putting Illinois on record in support of an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Each step I take brings me closer to fulfilling my promise to help pass the Equal Rights Amendment. It's a promise I made a decade ago to my late mother-in-law, the Rev. Katrina Swanson. (Katrina was one of the "Philadelphia Eleven," the first group of women to be ordained as priests in these modern times in the U.S., after the Anglican Church of China.) A promise made by my husband and me to her in her last year of life. A promise, indeed a vow, and now a dream moving to reality we will resurrect and see enacted the Equal Rights Amendment.
Congresswomen Jackie Speier (D-San Francisco/San Mateo/Redwood City) issued the following statement today after offering a joint resolution to remove the deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA was introduced into every Congress between 1923 and 1972, when it finally passed and was sent to the states for ratification upon three/fourths approval. Congresswoman Speier's joint resolution has 109 original co-sponsors.
State Sen. Nina Turner said Saturday that she supports efforts to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment but noted that more work is ahead in reaching equality. The Cleveland-based Democrat was one of several political candidates in attendance during an event hosted by the Progressive Democrats of America at the Adena Mansion & Gardens Visitors Center, where Turner gave a fiery speech to a full crowd about the need to support such a change.
A group of Progressive Democrats plans to push for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment with an event here later this month. State Sen. Nina Turner, D-Cleveland, will be the keynote speaker. Turner is the minority whip in the Ohio Senate.
The group, which also is conducting the event to defend voter rights, also will honor a local woman with an award at the event.
Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Jim McGovern last Tuesday proposed two Constitutional amendments on the House floor that would overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which lifted limits on political spending and unleashed a flood of funding into political organizations starting in 2010.
U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) today introduced two Constitutional amendments to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case, which unleashed a flood of corporate and special interest money into the American political system.
THE FIRST three words of the preamble of our Constitution are "We the People.'' Two years ago today the US Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission upended that promising vision. Corporations — which do not have mouths, minds, or consciences — won a "free speech'' right to spend unlimited money to influence elections.
U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern said he will never forget a tip he received from an old boss about the way things work on Capitol Hill.
On Friday, September 12th more than 150 activists will go to DC and Demand that their Senators and Representatives support removing the ratification deadline from the ERA (SJ Res 15 and HJ Res 113)

The Incredible Shrinking Woman
- Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Season 5 American Idol alum Mandisa is walking lighter these days.
Since she began her weight-loss journey last August, she's dropped an impressive 75 pounds—and is still going, with hopes of losing more than 100. While she's worked long and hard on this physical transformation (including seriously cutting back on her guilty pleasures: McDonald's french fries, Wendy's Classic Double with cheese and no onions, and Dairy Queen Heath Blizzards), it's the change you can't see that prompted her to title her new album Freedom.
"I don't just have a weight problem," Mandisa explains. "I have a food addiction. So the emotional and spiritual elements have been the most difficult part of this journey by far."
Walking this journey has meant working through many childhood issues: her parents' divorce when she was two, her father's abandonment when she was ten (he's now back in her life), childhood molestation, and a rape when she was sixteen. "Somewhere along the line, I picked up the message that my body being desirable wasn't a good thing. So I started padding and shielding myself with a lot of weight."
Because there's so much tied up in her lifelong struggle with her weight, Mandisa found it especially hurtful and humiliating when American Idol judge Simon Cowell mentioned her large size during the show in 2006.
For anyone who missed the infamous American Idol incident, here's a recap: During her audition, Mandisa wowed the judges with her vocal prowess on the song "Fallin'." Judges Simon, Randy, and Paula quickly gave her the green light to advance to the next round in Hollywood. While Mandisa celebrated with her friends and family in the hallway immediately afterward, Simon made a snarky comment about Mandisa's size: "Do we have a bigger stage this year?" (Cowell's comments are included here.)
Mandisa didn't hear the comment until it aired a couple months later. On national television. To an audience of 30 million viewers. Including the 40 friends and family members Mandisa had gathered with her in her living room to watch.
"I was devastated. It was my worst nightmare come true," says Mandisa. "My worst fear wasn't that I wouldn't make it onto the show, it's that I would be humiliated and that Simon would make comments about my weight."
The friends and family with Mandisa quickly gathered around her and started praying—for her hurting heart, for Simon's heart, for Mandisa's ability to forgive Simon. "It was during that prayer that the Lord showed me this was about so much more than my hurt feelings. This was an opportunity for God to show himself."
So when Mandisa appeared before the three judges soon after to find out if she'd made it to the semifinals, she told Cowell, "What I want to say to you is that, yes, you hurt me and I cried and it was painful. It really was. But I want you to know that I've forgiven you and that you don't need someone to apologize in order to forgive somebody. I figure that if Jesus could die so that all of my wrongs could be forgiven, I can certainly extend that same grace to you." Cowell, visibly moved, said he was humbled, apologized, and the two hugged it out.
Mandisa went on to wow the judges and fans for weeks with her powerhouse vocals and megawatt smile. Though her eventual elemination from the competition devastated her, it certainly didn't seem to slow her down. Her debut album, True Beauty, was nominated for a Grammy and two Dove Awards in 2007. That year she also wrote a book, IdolEyes: My New Perspective on Faith, Fat, and Fame. Last year she released a critically acclaimed Christmas album, It's Christmas. And in the past year alone, she's appeared on Live with Regis & Kelly, Today, CBS Early Show, Fox & Friends, and Extra.

While walking, he accidentally fell in a sewer pipe and lost grip on the plaque. He tried to reach for it. Instead, he got hold of a metal pole. It was a trident. Finnick's trident.
11. Cato didn't really plan on killing Katniss, Clove did. Cato planned on getting the powerful ones on his side so that they'd be easier to kill. Cato tried to kill Peeta because he thought that Peeta was just playing the goody-two-shoes-act and would kill Katniss when he gets the chance. As a matter of fact, Cato wanted to protect her because he saw that Katniss has the ability to change all of Panem. And that was all he ever wanted since day one.
10. Marvel instantly fell in love with Glimmer the time he saw how stellar she was at the parade. Marvel would always look out for Glimmer. He would do anything just to protect Glimmer. And he would never let her out of his sight except when the hive of tracker jackers attacked them. He had no choice but watch her suffer. He witnessed how she screamed and thrashed and twitched to death. He wanted to seek vengeance. He wanted Katniss to witness the same thing too when he speared Rue right in front of her.

Caesar Flickerman and Peeta Mellark Interview; The Hunger Games
- Caesar: Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what's her name?
- Peeta: Well, there is this one girl. I've had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I'm pretty sure she didn't know I was alive until the reaping.
- Caesar: She have another fellow?
- Peeta: I don't know, but a lot of boys like her.
- Caesar: So, here's what you do. You win, you go home. She can't turn you down, eh?
- Peeta: I don't think it's going to work out. Winning… won't help in my case.
- Caesar: Why ever not?
- Peeta: Because… because… she came here with me.
- Caesar: Oh, that is a piece of bad luck.
- Peeta: It's not good.
- Caesar: Well, I don't think any of us can blame you. It'd be hard not to fall for that young lady. She didn't know?
- Peeta: Not until now.
10. Gale left District 12 because it was the place that reminded him of his regrets. He felt bad not being able to save Madge. He felt bad being the co-creator of an explosive that killed Prim. And he felt bad that he wasn't able to continue what he wanted Katniss to remember in the Justice Building.

Sainsbury's poaches three senior figures to bolster marketing team
Sainsbury's has made three hires from O2, Mindshare and Lloyds as part of a restructure of its marketing team to help deliver more "efficient and integrated marketing campaigns".
Mark Given: moves to Sainsbury's
Mark Given, has who been head of sponsorship at O2 for a year, is joining Sainsbury's in January as head of brand communications. He previously worked with Sainsbury's marketing director Sarah Warby at Heineken.
Meanwhile, the supermarket is also hiring its first ever head of advertising and media with the hire of Sophia Weir from Mindshare, where she was business director.
Weir will also join in January at the same time as Alex Owens, who is being appointed to a head of insight position from his role as head of strategy at Lloyds Banking Group.
Warby said: "Mark, Alex and Sophia are great additions to the team, and will help us continue to deliver competitive advantage through efficient and integrated marketing campaigns, under the banner of Live Well for Less."
It is understood the hires are part of a restructure that is designed to alleviate some of the pressure on Warby, following the departure of high-profile marketers from Sainsbury's including Claire Harrison-Church, the former director of brand communications.
Sainsbury's is also believed to be attempting to simplify the structure and reporting lines within its marketing team as part of the wider shake-up.Follow @mattchapmanuk

The hot-selling Ford Fiesta – sold in all areas of the globe – can now add "world traveler" to its growing list of firsts, covering a total of 15,210 miles of travels in just over two months.
Fiesta World Tour 2010 was a road trip like no other, and was created to celebrate the global nature of one of Ford's most fun-to-drive vehicles while traveling around the globe and enjoying all it has to offer. The tour kicked off in Southern California, headed east across America, through a section of Canada, and wandered about Europe before heading to the Middle East and Asia. The journey wrapped up in Sydney after touring through the wide-open Australian outback. With a group of journalists behind the wheel, the two-car road trip became more of an experience than a drive. Along the way, the following fun facts were logged:
Highlights of the adventure included:
"We've traveled upward of 1,000 miles in one day. And at the other end of the spectrum, we've also spent time just cruising around cities like Singapore," said Jeremy Hart, expedition leader. "We even visited the first international airport in Australia, which used to take 34 days to reach from London. We drove to it in the same time. That made us realize that even in 2010, you can still have an expedition, and you can feel like you're exploring. We didn't want to just fly somewhere – we wanted to experience everything along the way."
Want to see for yourself? Check out the journey at:
Ford Fiesta has reached its 1 millionth sale around the world, and Fiesta owners can get in on the fun by submitting photos of themselves with their car to the Ford Fiesta Facebook page at www.facebook.com/fordfiesta. Fans can vote on their favorite images, and the most popular will be chosen to be included in the "Fiesta: Road to 1 Million" collage on Facebook.

Lets talk about all the stuff on the top of the tank. The two left fittings are the vent valves that have a ball in them for rollover protection and to allow massive amounts of air in. Have you ever been so thirsty that you downed a plastic bottle of water with out breathing in or out? After you downed the water did you notice how the bottle had imploded from lack of air getting in? This same theory applies to your vehicle's fuel tank. As the fuel pump is sucking fuel out of the tank it needs to breath via the vent lines, otherwise the tank will run out of air and reduce or stop the amount of fuel flowing to the EFI. Makes sense, right?

Our countdown to the 2014 college football season continues as just 98 days separate us from kickoff between the South Carolina Gamecocks and Texas A&M Aggies at Williams-Brice Stadium on August 28.
Who Wears #98?
98 is actually up for grabs this season, so we go back to a man that used to wear #98: Devin Taylor. Taylor racked up a career best 7.5 tackles in 2010 and put up 35.5 for his career. He's now with the Detroit Lions (who picked him in the 4th round of the 2013 NFL Draft) where he recorded 2.5 sacks as a rookie.
Gamecocks football in 1998
The Gamecocks weren't as bad as they were in 1999 when they went 0-11. At least they won a game in 1998–literally one game (Ball State, 38-20, in the season opener at Williams-Brice) before dropping the final ten games of the season to finish at 1-10.
Record: 1-10
Head Coach: Brad Scott, who was fired after the season. They were able to coax Lou Holtz out of retirement to take over, though, but things didn't go so well with him at the helm, either.
Big Wins: None.
Leaders: Troy Hambrick had a decent season with 701 yards on the ground despite just four touchdowns. Leading receiver Zola Davis had a career-high 733 yards in his farewell season to go along with five scores.
Also in 1998…

I don't know about you but I'm in the mood for love, simply because pizza is near me. Which pizza this time, you ask? A trusty ol personal pepperoni from Famous Famiglia that I ordered through GrubHub!
They made a box out of tomatoes! Unfortunately the tomatoes taste like cardboard.
But before I start talking pizzatalk I want to thank everyone who watched last Sunday's Valentine's Day themed show. I had some massive technical difficulties logging in but you guys were troopers and once we got going made some excellent truth or dare memories. My dad sang Whitney Houston, Cody (http://saucesauced.blogspot.com/) crashed into a mirror doing an handstand, Bimini admitted she is a bed-wetter, and I drank my weight in tequila. Now THAT is good television.
"Scubadiving" is Australian for "I pee pee in my pants pants". Talk about a WET suit. I could keep going, but I have self-control. Unlike Bimini's bladder. OUCH.*
Now, I'm a big fan of the Famiglia chain. Not the best in the world, but consistent, delicious and satisfying. Always enough cheese, not too much sauce, crispy reheatable crust. You got yourself a solid pizza right there. The crust on the personal pizza was about 5% less delicious than any other normal-sized slice I have had from them before, but still, an excellent showing.
I just wanna put it in my mouth and go rarrerrrrarmmmmmrmrrrmmm. OH wait, I did.
And now, a haiku:
Personal pizza
It may be cheesy to say
but you complete me.
This is my "I ate all the pizza already???" face.
That's all the #pizzalist goodness for today. Join me this Sunday at 9 pm ET at http://bit.ly/AngelaLive when I will have a special guest and we will be battling against each other and all of you in an interactive drinking version of Scattergories. So grab a drink, stretch your word muscles, enjoy a slice and I'll see you then!
*I <3 you, Bimini. There are a lot worse things than incontinence.**
**Like admitting your incontinence to the entire Internet.

Is my video card shot?
Yesterday I awoke to find my computer locked up on the (Aurora) screen saver. First time it had happened, so I didn't think too much of it. Did a hard reboot, and everything was fine. Went to work, came home to find the same lock up. This time, the reboot no so fine. . . on the black driver loading screen, there is all sorts of odd characters floating about, then when windows loads, the resolution is way off, but will not allow me to change it, and there are horizontal squiggly lines across the screen. Though my monitor driver (Samsung SyncMaster) appears to be installed fine, Windows only recognizes a "Default Monitor" when attempting to change the resolution, which is stuck at 800x600.
Does not appear to be a software/malware issue, haven't installed any software/hardware/drivers lately, so I suspect it must be a hardware issue? Sound like my video card (8800GT) may be failing/died?
I have an older comp collecting dust in the closet, so I'll swap out the card to see if that's the issue on my weekend, but I'd like to hear some opinions as well.
Thanks , and happy holidays to all!

I'd say that somethings going on with the video card, usually monitor problems don't cause a crash. You have the right idea to test a known working source first though. My second guess would be *Pick any of the above. As if it's not the graphics card, that kind of error could be anything.
You could try reflashing the GFX BIOS, see what happens if you do that.
Though really, it'd be easier to spend a hundred bucks and buy a new Radeon 5770, or maybe a bit more for a 6850.

I try the old video card in the pc and it it boots up and works change it out for the car you think is dead and see if you lock up and crash. if you do its time 4 a new card.
Its close to xmas so you can get some great deals on cards at newegg or some of the other online sights for around 100 bucks gtx460 a great card. I have one of them in my media center and a 470 in my gaming rig the HDMI out's on the card's are great and they run fairly cool but are a bit long for some pc cases

Do or do not, there is no try
In a passionate working class area such as Newcastle, telling people "we tried" was always likely to go down like a lead balloon.
Therefore, it was hardly a surprise that the statement released 48 hours after the transfer window was bolted firmly shut until January contained the "we tried" line, it was half expected.
In a nutshell, actions speak louder than words in the world of Newcastle United and failing to emerge without a marquee signing to don the number 9 shirt was never ever going to go down well.
As Yoda once put it: "Do or do not, there is no try."
To rub salt into a very open wound, unlike the January window, Newcastle had much more than a few hours to get a replacement in.
When Andy Carroll was flogged down the road to Liverpool many anticipated the arrival of a new striker pretty early on in the summer.
It didn't happen.
It has been made clear to me that Alan Pardew is far from happy about the situation but there is very little he can do other than walk away.
He couldn't anyway, after signing seven players and making a great start to the season, to some extent he has been backed but it hasn't been easy, losing Kevin Nolan, Joey Barton and Jose Enrique along the way.
It was scant consolation that there was at least some explanation, but the facts of the matter are that United's board have to work hard on a strategy to keep fans informed.
Pardew has fronted all questions about transfers this summer but in reality, the words coming from his mouth would appear to be what he wanted to happen as football manager, rather than what has been happening above his head.
In fairness, the board have agreed to answer the questions of Newcastle United fans via the Chronicle, with 12 questions to the board having been granted.
This is YOUR chance to ask the questions that you want answered and fairest way possible is for us to calculate what the most popular questions are.
Obviously, the question of where's the money gone/going will be one of the most popular but there are plenty of others to be asked.
That is now in the hands of the fans and you can submit your question by going to www.chroniclelive.co.uk
There's every chance people will not like the answers.
But hey, this is a start for Newcastle to reopen the communication channel between the board and the fans.
Ideally, it would be an operation worth carrying out on a more regular basis and in doing so, fans wouldn't be so shocked when Newcastle do it once in a blue moon.
At Man City, Garry Cook has regular dealings with the Press and fans much in the way of Chris Mort.
The idea of a general manager/fan friendly chairman (Sunderland have Niall Quinn) is also a route other clubs have gone down and the appointment of a former player would be an interesting development at St James' Park.
Fans will find it difficult to take in some answers anyway.
It would be of little value to come out and say that Newcastle will spend in January and then not follow it through with actions.
But then the board have tried to go the other way too, when claiming there would be "no capital outlay" back in May 2010, which again landed them in trouble.
It all goes back to selling a product, but if the product is trying to save money and produce a team that has only potential, the chances are some fans won't buy into the idea.
It goes back to the old football or business logic argument, and as stated before on this blog you can't be expecting to order an open top bus to celebrate breaking even on financial sheets.
Indeed, it is all about winning football matches, exciting football and moving up the leagues.
That's what generates excitement in this city and as Sir John Hall found out, it also generates money - albeit during a different financial era.
When Newcastle went from the old First Division to the Premier League, everybody and their gran wanted to be seen in Toon merchandise.
Just 12 months earlier, as Freddie Fletcher will testify, the club shop were not even selling an up to date replica kit with fans still swanning round with those awful ironed on blue stars to cover up the Greenalls logos.
Speaking to Alan Shearer yesterday, he stated that Newcastle are unlikely to get into the top six unless money is spent on the team.
So basically, Newcastle United are left trying to sell tickets for a team that might finish in mid-table and might have a run in the cup if we're lucky.
Life is short, and seems even shorter when you've gone 42 years without seeing your team pick up any silverware.
Of course, winning football matches changes things but asking the current crop of players - who have done very well so far by the way - to challenge the top four is a massive ask.
Some of Man United and Man City's performances so far this season has been frightening - but that's what mega money buys you.
Nobody expects Newcastle to be splashing that type of money because that's the way it's been for the last few years.
Without encouragement though that it might change with one or two big signings, the sight of empty seats could be a more regular feature.
As Mark Jensen of the Mag put it nicely: "The sight of any empty seat at St James' Park is a sad one."

great article lee, not everything newcastle are trying to is wrong atm, but i think being stubborn with regards 2 a striker might massively let us down this season - nearly a good window.
"it is all about winning football matches, exciting football and moving up the leagues."
Well Lee, if it is all about winning matches then why not give the chance to our current squard and let's see what they can do? So far they are doing pretty well. It is not about just signing a big player or find the striker to fill no.9, I do not mind if Best scored 15 goals and wear the shirt no. 20!!
I've never heard top 6 being mentioned, but top half yes. 6-10th would be seen as improvement on last season.
Thats not being unreasonable and would be applauded for sure.
We're not stupid enough to think we are ready for a europa place yet, tho it would be nice. If the board just showed some ambition to improve year on year that would be a start.
But to go into a season without a quality center forward having sold one for silly money 8 months earlier is simply beyond belief, and smacks of gross negligence and incompetance by the board.
Pardew needs to concentrate solely on the football side of things and admit that he has nothing to do with player movements in and out of the club. He is doing a good job as head coach, but should stop being the boards mouthpiece as it is making him look pathetic.
Lee, stop letting them off the hook - this will just result in the same responses as they put in their statement on Friday. What is needed is EXPLANATION - press them on their answers, why they weren't bidding for players in their price range? are we really supposed to believe they didn't know the asking price for players as late as 31st August? its simply not credible. As you say actions speak louder than words, and their actions show they weren't seriously trying to spend any money.
Unfounded. The Chron is the only newspaper to actually push for some answers. The fact that the board are willing to take questions from fans is a small step forward. I understand frustrations but the right questions have been asked in the past. Sadly, nobody can control the answers no matter how much probing/pressing is done. It will be inevitable that the critics will be out in force when the answers are published.
Lee, good piece, very good.
If we wanted to watch average football either at the ground we wouldn't spend te money we do on newcastle united. we'd go and watch the Heed or Spartans (No disrespect meant)
Prem football is about fantasy football, if we don't start the season with a fighters chance, even if reality kicks in sooner rather then later why bother showing up..?
Yes we're fans of football and NUFC but if they're going to save their money and not buy players we wanrt to see we should save our money and listen to the game on the radio and read about it in the EC.
Having said that I think bottom line is with 5-6 strikers on the books we were never going to bring another one in simple as that.
I could be way off but it just feels like MA is trying to break the Geordie spirit, spliting the crowd up, bringing the signs down, not buying the symbolic No9, even ripping up the cobbles. To be fair MA's acions and plans are pretty obvious there really isn't any need to ask, we already know the answers.
There really isn't any ned to lie either, most geordies I know are realists and if they said they're not buying then fine we'll take what we've got, but for some reason it appears they think its a good idea to dtring the fans along...
I'd be very suprised if MA didn't try and flog the stadium before he left.
this is worrying - the last time I remember there being a question / answer session was our relegation year. this was the same question answer session that saw the inception of Lambias's 5 year plan (! ! ! !).
the very fact that there has to be a question/answer session itself belies a failure of the club. Do man Utd have such sessions - do Chelsea wheel out Abramovich - did NUFC have one when they were running away with the Championship - no, no and no. Forget your questions - the very fact that this forumn is taking place is indicative of failure.
Some good point all round however I have to wonder what the new 5 year plan is?? Empty the ground nearly 20% done already..TICK. Save loads of cash £30,000,000 done already TICK. Have a cluless business man as an owener (with a pitiful board and manager) another TICK in the box.
PS how can AP say he is nothing to do with the transfers once he puts his list in. If thats the case why do the TOP managers go to see players to convince them to join...AP or should I say Oliver...Please sir can I have some more...pathetic.
Lee, i've already said it but clearly MA hasn't added the figures up . Initial outlay for Shane Long would have been about 7 million plus another 2 million per year in wages . First year outlay 9 million thereafter 2-3 million on wages and sundries. Reduction in gates between 10-15000 roughly 10-12 million gate receipts a season without additional purchases , first year break even, thereafter 7 million plus per year capital gain . Whoever has been advising him needs a kick up the backside . This needs to be brought to his attention . For an alleged astute businessman this really doesn't add up. Time toon army showed him that we have our pride and dignity something those in the South don't understand. AS far as they're concerned it's Money, money , money. All we need is an SOS. Perhaps this is his Waterloo. I guess in the end The winner Takes it all

I want for this blog to be the place where the story of CrunchDaddy Popcorn's evolution is told and where I share the ups and downs of my entrepreneurial venture. Lately there has been much to tell and far too little time to tell it… but that's a good problem to have!
In order to bring folks up to date with what's going on at CrunchDaddy Popcorn, I should tackle the question I hear most frequently of late: "How's it going?"
Overall, for a company that has been open less than five months and being run by a first-time entrepreneur, things are going very well! Prior to opening the company on January 1, 2012 it would have been impossible to make projections as to the quantity and frequency of sales. However, I can say that the volume of business has well exceeded what I would have expected or projected. Further, the amount of repeat business that we are experiencing from customers locally and throughout the U.S. and Canada has been astounding.
With that said, and while I am proud of the progress that CrunchDaddy Popcorn has made thus far, it remains a part-time venture for me. Even though it feels like every waking hour is being spent on some kind of activity for CrunchDaddy Popcorn (and thus feels like a second "full-time" job), the sales volume is not yet sufficient to provide me with a full-time income… but that is the goal, to develop CrunchDaddy into a thriving business that can support me as well as my employees.
The future looks tremendously bright as sales and public acclaim for CrunchDaddy Popcorn products continue on a steadily upward trend. Enthusiastic reviews and comments about CrunchDaddy Popcorn come to us on a daily basis, through social media, our website and email. Positive comments are enough to make any modest entrepreneur pause and reflect on the fact that their products are being well-received and gaining in popularity. It's been a very gratifying and humbling experience thus far!
As I meet with friends, bloggers and customers, not a week goes by when I do not learn of some new and exciting opportunity for CrunchDaddy Popcorn. As I often tell people, "there is no shortage of ideas and opportunities right now, just a shortage of time and funding." We are a "boot-strapped" startup, meaning that we created CrunchDaddy Popcorn with personal resources, very little funding and seek to grow the company slowly and gradually from the proceeds of sales rather than traditional funding sources like small businesses loans. To the best of our ability, each phase of our development will progress as we are able to handle the growth and remain self-financed.
If there is a downside to the entrepreneurial experience thus far, it comes from the uncertainty of what the future holds and the difficulty that is inherent in managing growth. Behind the buttery sweet surface there is a swirl of activity that challenges me to keep numerous plates spinning in the air at once without sacrificing the quality of the products. Whether it's popping popcorn, packaging it, shipping it, delivering it, answering emails or managing social media, there's ALWAYS something that needs to be done.
Rolling out new flavors and expanding our packaging options are never as easy as they seem. I had to cancel two photo shoots in April (for new products) thanks to the tremendous response that we received to the review of CrunchDaddy Popcorn in HowChow blog. I suppose that's a good problem to have, being busy fulfilling orders… but I don't like the feeling of falling behind and not being able to apply my time toward growing the company.
Lastly, I must share my undying gratitude for the incredibly humbling and inspirational comments that people have shared in regards to their experiences with CrunchDaddy Popcorn. I am rarely short on words, but the awesome kindness and words of encouragement that I have received for CrunchDaddy Popcorn have left me speechless. No matter how difficult the task, I've been blessed with more than enough well wishes and compliments to keep me going for quite a while!
Thanks for the support and interest in CrunchDaddy Popcorn!
All the Best,
Dan Bazis

I have a plan on how to make money to purchase things from the concession. I'm going to make a bet that I can eat more kibbles than any other dog. It's a win/win for me. I get to eat all the kibbles I want and I get money from the other dogs.
I'm not sure if all the dogs are getting credits contributed to their accounts because some of them are eating the cheap dog food that is slopped out twice a day. Unlike me, who is getting the expensive specialized food that I had before. If anything, this gives me hope that my parents are still trying to get me out.
Maybe I'm being held for ransom. It could be that it's not a fine or making bail that is holding them back. It could be that the prison is actually holding me ransom for the most amount of money they can get from me.
I might need to create a Bob Bailout Fund. Hook it into all the social networking sites. Do a news media blasts. Get the word out that I'm being held captive. Come to think about it, I'm not sure what law I broke?
The last I remember was that I was minding my own business in the back of the car when we drove up to the business. My mom spoke to the owners and the next thing I know I was walked into the prison.
At first I thought it was a dog retreat where I was going to get a facial and massage. Once through the double gates I released this wasn't a retreat but a prison. Before I could warn my mom it was a trap the door was shut behind me and I was whisked through the double gates. I tried to make a break for it but it was too late. Trapped behind the fence separated from those that love and adore me.
Until I can setup the Bob Bailout Fund raiser, I'll need to raise money anyway possible. Making the bet that I can eat 10 kibbles might be a good start. I got the idea from Cool Hand Luke who eat 50 hard boiled eggs. I'm not against eating hard boiled eggs but I'm not allowed into the kitchen nor have I seen a chicken in a long time.
The last time I saw a chicken was in Watsonville, California along one of the roads running next to a farm. There they were a whole flock of chickens. I didn't make eye contact because they may have saw it as a challenge and I didn't want to get hen pecked.
What is a group of chicken called a flock? A bunch of Raven's is called a murder. Maybe they are called a bunch of chickens. Personally, I don't like chickens. Speaking of that. I was reading the side of a cat food package. It said, "all the things your cat naturally loves, beef, chicken and fish."
The things your cat naturally loves? I haven't seen a cat take down a cow, capture a chicken or catch a fish. How is that something they naturally like? I've seen cats catch mice, rats, brown birds and butterflies. Why don't they make cat food out of that. Things cats naturally catch not what they naturally like? I personally never seen a cat tearing across a field and kill a bull. I'd love to see a house cat do that. Like that would happen in my life time.
WOW, I really have too much time on my hands in prison to reflect upon the marketing of cat food. Really? When was the last time one ever say a cat in a car or shopping? You see dogs all the time in the store with their parents shopping. A cat? Like a cat would ever go out with their parents.
I did see a cat being walked down the road once. Neither the cat nor the owner were doing a good job at it. The cat was wrapping itself around every pole it walked next to. Come on! Cats are suppose to be smarter than dogs? Really? At least a dog can walk on a leash.
I'll admit it too a while to teach the human how to walk on a leash but at least they learned. The only reason us dogs walk on a leash is so that the people know were to go. If left on their own they'd be lost in a few minutes. A cat can't even teach their owner how to walk on a leash.
If you haven't guessed, I'm not really that much of a cat person. I've had experience with cats and they are okay. I have respect for them but cats are, well how to put it…. A bit weird. The pee and poop in a box. Walk and sleep on top of anything they want. They don't listen or respect the wishes of their owners.
At least dogs respect and listen to the parents. I hear what my parents tell me. I then decide if I want to do it or not. Most of the time out of respect for them I do what they tell me. Most of the time they are telling me things that are for my betterment. Like come here, cuff up, hop you.
If you didn't know what cuff up means it is the term used for when I have to put the leash on so we don't get separated from each other. If I didn't put a leash on my dad would wander off. How am I going to explain to my mom that dad wandered off because I didn't put the leash. Next thing I know we'd be in the car driving around looking for him. I can't tell you how many times he's opened the front door and wandered off.
Hopefully the note got to my parents so I can get out of here in a few days. My ideas of escape are falling short. I doubt it has anything to do with my height. Speaking of heigth, cats can climb. I wonder if I can climb over the fence. I don't have to worry about guard dogs or dogs barking because everyone is a dog and barking in this place. Hmm, I think I may have an idea on how to get out of here. I think that is my plan. When I get out to the outdoor yard. I'll make a run for the fence and climb to freedom. I might have to dog a few sprays from the water bottle. A few squirt with water is nothing compared to my freedom.
I will be a dog on the run. Moving from city to city. Picking up odd jobs to make ends meet. I might even have to change my name to throw their scent off of me. Tomorrow is a new day and I'll be a free dog if my plan works out.
My hopes for jumping over the fence on a motorcycle have been dashed since I couldn't fine on in the general population or outside yards. I think the next course of action is pouting, it works with my parents. If I sit in the corner with my back to everyone, sooner or later I'll get my way.
I'm pondering if I should handle this like Cool Hand Luke. Maybe make the best of the situation. Get some bets going. Start wheeling and dealing for kibbles and toys. I know I'm smarter than most of these other inmates. The yokie is still kissing up to the guards. Speaking about the guards.
There is always one to three guards in the yard all the time. I mean they have this place locked down. I'm wondering if this is a state prison or a for profit prison? The food here isn't bad. It is the exact stuff I eat at home. What's the chances of that happening at a state prison. Furthermore, I have my own crate and bedding.
Maybe my parents are putting some funds into my concession fund so I can get some creature comforts from home. I know they have to know where I'm at. Hopefully that kite I sent out a few days ago gets to them soon. I wonder if the guards have noticed that I've been making a mark on the wall to keep the days I've been in here recorded.
I had my opertunity to try for the keys or cellphone but the yorkie had its eyes on me. I'm going to have to distract that dog so I can escape. The stories I will have for my buddies on Facebook, Twitter and dog park. They will not believe what I've had to endure during my days of incarseration.
Day 3.
I've been bouncing a ball against the cell door killing time like Steve McQueen in the movie "The Great Escape". Bouncing the ball serves two purposes, the first it annoys the hell out of the guards and secondly it gives the other inmates hope that we'll get out of here.
I noticed when I was released to the yard that the dog that ate my kite last night was released this morning. At first I thought he was an idiot and eat my kite just being a dumb dog, but now I know his brilliance. The only way to get the kite out of prison was to sneak it out. Now all the dog has to do is wait till it passes out of him naturally. I hope he'll be able to get the note to my parents. It may take a day or two for the kite to pass then another day or so to get it to my parents. I'm hoping I'll be out by Sunday latest.
Just in case I'll need to keep planning an alternative way out. At the moment I have three plans. The first is make an escape myself. Second, is that the kite gets to my parents. Finally, getting a cellphone so I can call, text or email for help.
I was able to get a soda bottle today. Now all I need is to get some matches and something to burn so I can make a shank. One never knows when they'll need to protect themselves. I personally, don't think the days incarcerated have hardened me any, but I'm still preparing my mind and body for the long haul.
I'm not scared or frightened only concerned for my loved ones and what they are thinking. They must be full of fright worrying about me. If the kite gets to them they'll know I'm doing well and my plans for escape.
I've started my plan on getting close enough to the guards to pickpocket their cell phone so I can get a message outside this place. When the guard sits down, I go up to them with my ears back, reaching out with my paws adoringly so they'd want to pet and hold me. My ploy has worked but haven't been able to find their cellphone yet. What if this is a high security prison where they leave their cellphone locked up in a lock box. What have I done to be in such a high security prison? I know Schipperke's are know for being stubborn and intelligent but really high security?
There was an attempted escape by two of my fellow prisoners today, but they were captured at the second gate. If they only had opposing thumbs they could have let themselves out. The guard scooped them up and placed them back into general population. I was attempting to make my own attempt for freedom, but I too was trapped. Okay, okay so I only made it to the first gate to encourage the others to continue on. Storming the main gate is probably not an option anymore. Maybe the outside exercise area is the place to scale the walls and get out but I have heard they have water guns with vinegar in them!
I noticed that general population and outside yards are all double gated with high fences. Tunneling out isn't an option because of the concert floors. Maybe I can find a motorcycle and jump over the fence like in the Great Escape. Where can I find a motorcycle in here? There is only one problem with that plan. I don't know how to drive. What good is this dog license if I don't know how to drive?
I've noticed security cameras. My parents are pretty good with technology. I've seen my dad put in a light bulb and my mom change the television with the four remotes. If they can do that, they can easily figure out how to gain access to the security surveillance system. Maybe I can do sign language to get a message out to them that way. I wonder if either of them are fluent in American Dog Sign Language otherwise known as ADSL.
Oh My God! I just realized that prisoners get weekly showers! How long have I been in here? I really need to get out of here before the weekly shower. I get a monthly bath if I need it or not and that's bad enough, but weekly?! What type of hell place is this? Okay, okay, don't panic. I'm making "much ado about nothing." My life is slowly becoming a Shakespeare tragedy. I better put my iPad away before the guards find my contraband and confiscate it.
Day 1 and 2 of Oregon State Prison for Dogs
I've been watching the guards and other inmates for the last few days, memorizing their patterns planning my escape. I know my mom is on the other side of the gate trying to figure out a way to break me out, or at least make bail.
The guards have a pretty scheduled routine. Lights on at 7am, then breakfast. Next, they let us out in the general population area. This is where I get to watch them come and go out of the gate. I also get to observe my fellow inmates.
There is a Yorkie which I think is a snitch. He is always sitting in the guards lap, or right next to them. You know what they say "snitches get stitches". Okay, so I heard the term on "Lock Up Raw" and "Jail" television shows. Don't laugh those shows prepared me for being locked up.
There is always a guard on duty except for at night, but breaking out at night would be extremely difficult. They put us in isolated segregation (seg) for those hardened criminals. I really don't mind being in "seg" at night because I'm concerned that a pack of dogs might want to "jump me" into their gang. I really don't want to be part of a gang.
Could you just imagine what an their gang tattoo would be. Probably something stupid like a paw print next to the eye to show time severed. Worst yet a dog bone to symbol their gang.
I know my parents are trying to raise the funds to bail me out. I just need to stay tough, keep my mind sharp and body strong. I started doing "burpies" and sit ups when I'm in my cell alone. I don't want the other prisoners to know just how in shape I really am.
During the day they just see me standing next to the gate watching and observing. I'm actually watching how the guards enter and exit the yard. If I can only get the other dogs to create a distraction. Maybe a fake fight might do it when the guards change shifts. I could then slip past the gate.
That damn Yorkie I have to worry about. It might snitch me out when I'm trying to escape or tell my plans to the guards. I figure he'd squeal for a pat on the head, or maybe a treat. Just like a Yorkie sell out the fellow inmates for a treat.
But prison isn't too bad. I get 3 square meals a day. Plenty of yard time. I get to sleep in my own bed. My own cell, but it isn't freedom and it isn't the open road. I can't wait to feel the sun on my face, wind in my fur, and the grass under my paws.
I tried to send a "kite" out to my parents but the dumb dog next to me ate it not knowing it was a "kite" (note). I like paper as much as the next dog ,but come on now. I might be able to snag the cell phone from the guard when they are talking to the Yorkie. I could then text, email or call for help.
Hopefully the guards don't notice that I've hidden my iPad under my blankets in my crate. That is the only way I can a record my time incarcerated. A guard is doing a cell check so I better sign off.

On their 2012 debut, the four members of Swearin' cohered around a consistent sound: fierce and fuzzy and improbably melodic, with choruses you couldn't help shouting along to once you could make out the words. But there was a tension in hearing things turn slightly sweet or slightly sharp, depending on who happened to be singing at the time. That the co-frontpersons, Allison Crutchfield and Kyle Gilbride, are also a couple made things all the more interesting, especially when they sang about love.
With Surfing Strange, out Oct. 29, Swearin' is up from two singers to three, and the personalities at play are even more distinct. Crutchfield's vocals are soft and rounded and tend to sink into their noisy surroundings, letting her tone and the heft of her breaths do as much talking as the words themselves. Gilbride is the best shouter of the bunch, with a nasal edge that could strip paint off hardwood and an acutely cute way of bending his vowels. Bassist Keith Spencer is the group's resident quiet Beatle, or perhaps its James Iha: His hushed turn in "Melanoma" is a spiritual cousin of "Take Me Down," dreamy and sad and sung as if through layers of cheesecloth. And though drummer Jeff Bolt's voice isn't heard, the prankster grin he's known to wear when Swearin' performs is palpable on these recordings as well.
The album opens with the pristine call of a strummed acoustic guitar and ringing bass. It's a moment that feels out of character until Crutchfield appears to deliver an onomatopoeic line — "The crunch of the black ice and the buzz of the semis" — that hints at something heavier. Suddenly, guitar feedback squalls, a kick drum rumbles and the entire ensemble crashes together to meet her challenge. This band does tension right.
