The rapper's fully loaded Hummer sold for a whopping $337,000 in May 2016 - 3 times more than what was expected and it turns out it may have been too good to be true. After several attempts to collect, the anonymous Ohio bidder defaulted.
So, RR Auctions is listing Tupac's vehicle again with an estimate of $100k - closer to what it was expected to fetch in the first place. The auction ends August 17.

I was listening to Kim Scott being interviewed on Radio National's AM programme this morning (he's just won this year's Miles Franklin award). I was struck when he emphasized the need for politicians to listen, really listen – not just talk to focus groups (the transcript's not up yet so I can't quote exactly).
This reminded me of an idea I've had for some time. Why not take away all our politicians' cars and drivers and replace them with free public transport passes. This would have several advantages the pollies would mix with the people their policies affect, the public transport systems would improve (though here in Perth, WA we've got it pretty good), and the pollies' carbon footprints would be reduced!
OK I can also think of reasons it would be at least partially impractical, but it would be worth a trial – don't you think?

Seine Antwort auf die Behauptung, er besitze vielleicht, sei aber nicht, war nur Zittern und Herzklopfen.
His answer to the assertion that he did perhaps possess, but that he was not, was only trembling and palpitations. [Kaiser/Wilkins]
His answer to the accusation that he might possess something but didn't exist, consisted of trembling and heart palpitations. [Hofmann]
Asphyxiation is the symptom of being without having, and trembling and palpitations are the symptoms of possessing without being, or at least being told that this latter might be the case. This aphorism revisits both having and being on the one hand, and answering on the other.
There are two micro-scenes that could be spun out of this aphorism. In one, someone in a position of authority is making a statement about someone else. (Behauptung does not primarily mean accusation.) The former person could be a future father in law, a judge, the latter's own father. The other micro-scene is purely introspective; a man thinks this about himself, and the thought induces trembling and palpitations.
In either case, the idea of possessing without being elicits physical signs of distress, either fear or indignation, which indicate a visceral desire or need to reject it, but no refutation. He remains silent. The idea of inverting aphorism thirty-five might have prompted Kafka to try to imagine having without being, and then to see how he might go about dramatically framing the introduction of that idea. To possess without being would mean that there is no being, at least in his case, but only a kind of registered relationship to those things we think of as part of our being. If I do not exist, but only possess, then I'm like a demon inhabiting a body, living a life, that is mine only because of some kind of contract or receipt. It would mean that everything remains as it is, or seems, but that there is no basis for what is. There would be having, but no one to have.

Kid's wall murals allow you to create a theme room for just the cost of paint. It's an easy way to bring in a lot of color and personality. This way your kids' room will look different from all the other basic kids' rooms out there. Here are a few tips for creating kids wall murals.
Pick a theme that will last. Sure, you could just slap a bunch of stencils on the walls but this won't have the same dramatic effect of a real floor to ceiling mural. Since it's going to be a lot of work you probably want to make sure that it's going to be up for more than a few years. You'll probably want to stay away from movie and cartoon characters because then you'll have to paint over all of your hard work when your kids gets sick of the character.
There are a few durable themes that will last all the way throughout childhood and maybe even longer. For boys go with their favorite sports. For girls stick with a cottage, princess or fairy theme. For a nursery you could go with an aquarium or barn theme. For a teen's room let them get in on the act and paint a graffiti inspired piece, just make sure that you get full parental approval of the piece and you can paint over it if anything goes wrong.
Wall murals don't have to be complex to be impactful. Sometimes simple is better. Instead of painting an entire garden mural try painting oversized daisies all over one wall. You can make them geometric for a modern look. For a more sophisticated room paint the daises bright white on a dark background or the other way around. This style could even work well into your child's teen and preteen years. Try it on just one wall, preferably the wall where the bed is which is usually the focal point. Paint the rest of the walls the background color or a neutral color. For a modern room try painting the rest of the walls bright white. You can also use a ruler to make a picket fence design for a cute addition to a nursery.
Treat the wall as modern art. This saves you money on a canvas but also creates a dramatic effect and you won't have to worry about drawing on the walls. You could just paint amoeba like shapes in bright oranges, pinks or purple. For a more defined approach try polka dots. You could also try spatter painting. So things don't get too out of hand stick with just one color on a bright white background. Be aware that you'll really need to protect your flooring and any furniture you want to keep in a twenty mile radius. This will change the texture of your wall and the globs might be difficult to paint over so you might want to do it on a canvas and then apply it to the wall.
Kid's wall murals are a fun way to add personality to a basic room. You get to experiment with different colors and your child can help with the design process and even the painting.

Well it has been a long while since I have posted! We have been busy. Our summer was filled with birthdays, Little Monkey turning 3 and Little Princess turning 1, company, a family vacation, and at the very end, me going back to work! We have been playing outside mostly. Little Monkey learned to ride his bike!!! He loves it and we are trying to get out as often as we can before winter hits and it rains and rains and rains :). Little Princess has learned how to walk!! It is so exciting seeing her start off with just a few steps and now see her take off.
Any craft or really fun activity I didn't really get pictures of.....sorry. But I am going to start off this fall with a printable or two! I took out all my fall/Halloween things today and I had forgotten all that I had. I had a bunch of left over Halloween foam pieces, so I decided to make an I See... page. I don't know if I am going to be able to wait until October to do it with Little Monkey.
Sorry they are upside down, it is just the way they scanned to my computer. I have all the stickers at home, but if you don't have an obsession with the Dollar Store like me, just print it out twice and cut out the pieces to match.
Fall - I See
Fall - I See2
I have a lot planned for the end of September and October, so keep checking back. On the agenda for this week are fall leaves and fall trees :).
I hope everyone is having a great fall.

MADISON, Wis. – The family of Emily Dewey, the widow of a murdered Mahnomen County sheriff's deputy, has launched an online fundraiser to pay for a legal battle against a man they say took advantage of her shortly before she died.
A GoFundMe page titled "Fighting for the Deweys" was launched late Wednesday, Feb. 28, with a goal of raising $18,000. The post says an attorney estimated it will cost $18,000 or more to contest in court that Dewey's last will and testament is fraudulent, according to the page.
Dewey, 33, died of health complications from alcoholism on Jan. 31 in Denver, where she had been living for about a year and a half.
Her late husband, Deputy Chris Dewey, was shot in the head and stomach in February 2009 while investigating a report of a drunken driver in Mahnomen, Minn. He died from complications from his injuries on Aug. 9, 2010.
The GoFundMe page says Dewey told family a few weeks before her death that she was entering hospice as her body "was giving out." The family feared she was being taken advantage of in her final months by a man claiming to be her boyfriend who came and went and then resurfaced at the end of her life, according to the page.
"In the last 24 hours of her life, this man took Em to his attorney and had her make him the executor of her estate. She also changed him to be the beneficiary of the money she received when Christopher was killed. One professional that she dealt on her final day with said that he has never experienced anything like it. He described hearing this man and an attorney coach Em, as she made these incredibly important decisions, in the final hours of her life. I spoke to Em just hours before this and she clearly was not healthy in mind or body," read the fundraising campaign description.
According to the GoFundMe page, the situation has caused a "dispute over everything that belonged to Emily." Her remains are in a crematorium, the page said, and the man, who was not identified in the post, is contesting their release to relatives. The page said the man has also not returned Chris Dewey's ashes to family members.

Pressure vacuum breaker assemblies (PVBA) are the most frequently used and inexpensive type of whole-system backflow preventer device. The benefits of this type of sprinkler backflow prevention valve are its low cost and simplicity.
PVBAs are easy to install, maintain, and repair. Some models of pressure vacuum breaker assemblies include built-in freeze protection valves; however, these valves only protect the backflow assembly itself, not the water lines.
These breakers will also occasionally eject some water, so it is important to purchase a spill-resistant backflow preventer model for indoor installation, or for any area where water spillage would create a nuisance. Air gap drains are also required when installing indoors. We carry a wide selection of PVBs from a variety of manufacturers, including Febco, Combraco, Wilkins, and Watts. Each pressure vacuum breaker works the same way; however there will be variation between manufacturers in size selection, price range, and product features and specs.

Yesterday's meeting between United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice and leading Republican members of the U.S. Senate did nothing to defuse the controversy over her misleading statements about the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Senators Lindsey Graham, Kelly Ayotte and John McCain were not pleased with Rice's explanations and appear poised to lead a spirited opposition to Rice should, as many expect, she be tapped by President Obama to be the next secretary of state. Along with other members of the administration, Rice has much to answer for when it comes to Benghazi, and Democrats should not be under the impression that the GOP will knuckle under to the president's attempt to intimidate them or patently false charges of racism. But conservatives need to think carefully about what the key issue at State is before they decide to go all in on an attempt to stop Rice's appointment.
As tempting a target as Rice is, there are far more important issues at stake in determining the future of American foreign policy than whether Foggy Bottom is run by her or Senator John Kerry, the other leading candidate for the job who is obviously favored by his Senate colleagues. The impending confirmation battle needs to be about something more than just an attempt to take down a vulnerable friend of the president. It is an opportunity for Republicans to initiate a debate about the direction taken by the administration in the Middle East. On Secretary Clinton's watch the administration has done more than merely pretend that al-Qaeda was as dead as Osama bin Laden when its affiliates are alive and well and killing Americans. It has made nice with Islamists in the region, such as Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, and allowed a crucial nation to slip from the hands of a friendly authoritarian to an Islamist dictator linked to Hamas. It is on these big-picture issues that the Senate ought to take its stand and not just on what Rice said in September about Benghazi.
The real issue at the State Department is not whether Rice lied about Benghazi. Everyone in the administration lied about it from the top down and that is something that Congress should thoroughly explore. Senator Graham was right when he said that there ought to be a hold put on the promotion of anyone involved in Benghazi until there is a complete investigation of a scandal that can't be buried by Democrats eager to move on now that the president has been re-elected. But Rice's confirmation hearing, assuming that the president does nominate her, can't substitute for the sort of special committee probe that is needed on that issue.
The administration's eagerness to portray the terror attack on our diplomats in Benghazi as a spontaneous protest stemmed from an agenda which required that nothing be allowed to disrupt the president's politically-motivated narrative that bin Laden's death meant the end of the threat of Islamist terrorism. However, the willingness of this administration to acquiesce to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and even to go on sending billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Morsi regime should not be passed over in the zeal to nail Rice on Benghazi.
Allowing Rice to be rewarded for her deceptions rightly rankles Republicans, but no one should be under the impression that substituting Kerry for her will improve American foreign policy. In fact, her willingness to throw her weight around at the UN during her tenure there may mean she will be a tougher exponent of American interests than a weak figure like Kerry who was well known as Bashar Assad's best friend in Washington. Derailing Rice to help Kerry may make sense to John McCain, but it's not clear why other Republicans should care. There needs to be accountability for all of the administration's errors, including the shocking tilt toward the Brotherhood, and not just Benghazi.

I Just Came Back from the Amazon Jungle
I'm not making that up. I was in Peru for Tinkuy de Tejedoras in Cusco, a gathering of weavers from around the world, and I bribed my husband into coming along with the promise of going to the jungle with him afterward. (I love textiles; he loves plants.)
So what does this have to do with PieceWork? The rainforests are being cut down at an alarming rate, but the cloth remains. Traditions survive. In the jungle city of Iquitos, shops sell stunning examples of traditional Shipibo work—resist-dyed with mud, appliquéd and embroidered for texture and richness. At one of the river camps where we stayed, the Yagua Indians are still making bags from palm fiber—spinning the fiber on their thighs, dyeing it with jungle fruits, looping it into handy carryalls, and embellishing it with jungle seeds. Some of the Yagua, the elderly ones, still wear the fibrous wigs and skirts with twined tops that made early explorers think that the warriors were women. Shamans still collect and use natural dye plants—dragon's blood, achiote (aka annatto), turmeric, and other more exotic ones.
There's a stunning new book called Before They Pass Away by photographer Jimmy Nelson. This bold and fortunate man went to some of the most obscure corners of the earth to photograph the inhabitants decked out in their finest. It's a wonderful reminder that people still practice remarkable skills to create and embellish their surroundings, their attire. We've been privileged to document some of these practices in PieceWork—stitching, appliquéing, thread manipulation, horse hair hitching, moose hair tufting (seriously!), and of course all manner of knitting, as well as simple looping and nålbinding. PieceWork brings the world together, with thread.

Series ~ Spirit Wild, #1
Author ~ Kate Douglas
Publisher ~ Aphrodisia
Published ~ 30 April 2013
Genre ~ Paranormal/Romance/Erotica
My Rating ~ 4 bites out of 5
Sebastian Xenakis is a powerful wizard with the ability to shapeshift. Lily Cheval is Chanku, a shapeshifter who favors the wolf form. Lily and Sebastian meet at a function at the Museum of Modern Art. They have an instant connection, but something is wrong and neither Sebastian nor Lily knows what's going on. When young women are being raped and murdered, Lily suspects Sebastian, Sebastian suspects his father and the public suspect the Chanku. Who is really responsible?
Having never read the first Wolf Tale series I had no knowledge of the characters in this book or of the Chanku world. That wouldn't bother most people, but for me it was a bit like torture, so now I'm on a quest to find all of the Wolf Tales stories, so I can read for myself the backgrounds on how all of these couples came to be, well, couples.
The plot flows quickly and the world and characters interesting. The writing was decent, but there was a bit too much repetition. I got a little tired of hearing how Alex and Lily weren't meant to be mates. It was discussed ad nauseum. I got it the first time. The characters wouldn't shut up, either out loud or in their head, about how much they loved each other and how devoted they'd be to each other. I grasped it the first time it was mentioned and it was tiresome after the third or fourth time.
Ok, having said that, I did actually enjoy the story. And can I say how much I loved the sex scenes? Smoking hot! *fans self* I'm off to find those Wolf Tales stories now. I have this need to see if they're all as hot.

Assembly Approves AB 180 - Firearm Measure To Protect Oakland
(SACRAMENTO, CA) – This week the California State Assembly approved AB 180, authored by Assemblymember Rob Bonta (D-Oakland). AB 180 provides the City of Oakland with the additional tools that it needs to curb gun violence. Bonta made the following statement after the measure passed:
"Across our state, communities are suffering from a devastating combination of budget cuts to public safety and coinciding increases in violent crime. No one can deny that Oakland is suffering from among the highest levels of gun violence in the state and in the nation. Oakland suffered from 131 homicides in 2012 – 21 more than 2011 and the highest in six years. Twelve of those victims were children. And Oakland has seen close to 40 more deaths due to gun violence this year.
"Under AB 180, the City of Oakland would have the authority to regulate the registration of firearms and licensing of gun owners---areas that are currently pre-empted by state law. AB 180 is a smart and sensible bill that empowers Oakland and provides local control in addressing gun violence---where it is needed most," concluded Bonta.
AB 180 now moves to the Senate for assignment to policy committee.
Assemblymember Bonta is the Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Gun Violence in the East Bay, which held its first hearing this month in Oakland. The goal of that hearing was to identify some of the root causes of gun violence in the East Bay and highlight successful efforts taken by stakeholders to address the problem. The next hearing will be held in Stockton in August. Visit http://assembly.ca.gov/gunviolenceeastbay for future updates about the select committee.
Assemblymember Rob Bonta represents the 18th Assembly District, which includes Oakland, Alameda and San Leandro. He is the Chair of the Assembly Public Employees, Retirement, and Social Security Committee, and a member of the Assembly Health, Transportation, Banking & Finance, and Elections & Redistricting Committees.

Milton grad Bethay makes mark in arena football league
(Published Thursday, August 24, 2006 11:01:16 AM CDT)
By Tom Miller
Gazette Staff
Pop quiz: Name the two Milton High graduates who have scored rushing touchdowns in pro football.
Mike Saunders is one. Saunders played in the Canadian Football League, earning All-CFL honors in 1995 as a running back with San Antonio.
And the other is…
Would you believe Katon Bethay?
And it isn't just one touchdown, or even two.
Bethay, now a member of the Spokane Shock in the af2-arena league football-scored three touchdowns-covering a total of three yards-in the final regular season game.
"The last touchdown I scored was on an interception in college," Bethay said. "I haven't scored an offensive touchdown since high school. I played fullback when I was a freshman and sophomore."
But there have been many blasts from the nose tackle spot on defense, and no rushing attempts, since then.
Bethay has not scored a touchdown since that final regular-season game, but his play has been a factor in the Shock earning a spot in Saturday's af2 championship game against the Green Bay Blizzard.
The game will be played at 6 p.m. in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is scheduled to be televised by Comcast Sports, which is available on satellite packages in the area. The two teams left for Puerto Rico on Tuesday.
Bethay had hopes of getting drafted by an NFL team after he completed his college career at Wofford (S.C.) College. That did not happen.
Bethay then signed with the Shock,one of 25 teams in the af2.
Arena football players are expected to play offense and defense. For his first few games, Bethay played nose guard on defense and center or guard on offense.
Then the Shock moved him to nose guard or linebacker on defense and fullback on offense.
And a scoring machine was created-at least for that one game.
The Shock is 8-1 with Bethay on board and 16-2 overall. The former Milton High standout is happy playing the indoor game.
"It's a lot of fun," he said. "It's a quick game. The fans really get into it."
Sometimes they actually get into it. One fan, Bethay said, was knocked out when a player flew into the stands.
Bethay had his reservations when he first joined the league.
"There's not much running, and I've always been a run-stopper," Bethay said.
But he's been able to contribute and has learned to enjoy it.
"The turf is kind of tough on your knees, but you get used to it," he said. "There's a lot less contact. There are no double-teams (blocks). They're real strict on the blocking rules."
The 6-foot-1, 297-pound Bethay has been used to having blockers fly at him from all angles in his four years of playing nose guard at Wofford.
After Saturday's championship game, Bethay plans to return to Wisconsin to visit friends for a week or two. His aim after that is to continue to play football. He has received feelers from the Tampa Bay Storm, a member of the top indoor league.
"I'm using Arena 2 to get to Arena 1," he said. "You get paid plenty of money in Arena 1. I'm not using Arena ball to try to get to the NFL."

Disclaimer: Now remember this is only a guide and I nor the owners of this site assume responsibilty for any injuries or damages you do to yourself or your vehicle. This write up is particular to the EM1 99-00 civic si, but can be used as a guide for other honda's. Now that's out the way a few of the tools you will need to complete this project. 19mm socket and rachet phillips screwdriver T30 Torx driver, they come as torx bits and torx sockets, I prefer the socket style, for those of you that don't know what they are, here's a pic First thing you wanna do is make sure your wheels are straight. Once that's done turn off you vehicle and lock the wheel so it stays straight. Next disconnect your battery, both cables ( I only disconnected the neg. cable and everything still turned out fine), but the manual says to do both. Wait at least 3 minutes to let the power drain from the vehicle. Make sure you have the security code for our radio before disconnecting the battery if applicable. Next there are 2 tabs, 1 on either side of the steering wheel that needs to be removed, pictued below are the locations Right Side Left Side Now you remove the 2 torx screws, 1 on either side of the wheel, torx screw is pictured above and circled in blue. Now you remove the cruise control switch if equipped that's on the right side of the wheel. It's bolted in place via 2 phillip screws. Pic upon removal Once those are out unclip the connector tabs attached to the unit then you can just pull off the airbag portion of the wheel, be care not to drop hit or handle it roughly. Now you should be looking at an image like this. Now grab your ratchet and 19mm socket and unscrew the nut in the center of the wheel, once this is off you can just pull off the wheel, if it's not coming off pull down the tilt adjustment lever s you can move the steering column up and down to get it in the right position that will allow the wheel to come off. Now you should be looking at something like this and if you have airbags this SRS reel will be on there as well Now I've seen a prelude that had a momo hub that had enough space to leave the reel in place, however my hub would not allow this so remove the reel by removing the 3 phillip screws holding it in place and also unlatching the yellow connector which you will find if you just follow the wires from the wheel to under the dash, I didn't know this at the time and just ended up cutting the wires, The connector has a spring loaded latch that you just pull back and the other half pops out, the half that you pull back looks like this Ok now you're ready to put on your new hub and quick release. Now the easist way os to find the dots/indentations on the hub and quick release.They mean up or top. Now while the hub itself doesn't have to be in the top position the release does need to be straight, that is if you want your steering wheel to be straight when you put it on. Now you use the 19mm nut that you took off earlier to bolt your new hub in place, then attach the quick release making sure to attach the wires from the hub to the quick release before bolting it down. NOw it should look like this Now for the horn: There's a black female connector with 3 wires, Get a wire tap and a short piece of wire and tap into the mustard color wire. If you don't have this color wire, just grab a multi meter and locate the wire that's giving off 12v, there should only be one wire giving off any readings. Grab your steering wheel and unscrew this metal tab. or you can come up with your own way to get the hot wire to make connection to the back of the hub. This is what I came up with and it was quite simple. Ok now screw the tab onto one of the post that you unscrewed your srs reel from. Hook up the hot wire to one end of the tab and bend the other end of the tab so that it makes constant contact with the back of the hub. Ok now put your steering column covers back on cause you're done with the wheel and horn. Cruise Control Now unscrew the panel from the bottom of the driver's side dash. Look up under there for a gray connector with 3 wires, these are for your cruise control. One is a hot wire, should be the same 3 color wires from the female connector that you just tapped for your horn. THe mustard colored wire is still the hot wire or whatever color was your hot wire up top. Tap all 3 wires with wires long enough to reach to wherever you're going to be mounting your cruise control. If you plan on using the same switch from the steering wheel, f you can find a good place to mout it, grab the srs reel and cut the green connector off. Cut the wire to leave enough room to add connectors on the end. Add connectors to the wires that yu tapped from under the dash You don't have to use these same type of connectors that I used, you can use straight end to end connectors. I usd these cause I knew I would be changing the switch later. Now hook the green connector up to the wires you tapped. I knew I wanted my switch to be close and in easy reach and I decided on my center console as it's new home. But after I placed the switch where I wanted it to be I didn't like it on account of there being space where you could look through the hole . So I went and shopped around for the right switch. Took me almost a week to find it. Finally tracked it down at an Electronics specialty shop. Radio shack had one but it was a push button and I wasn't sure if it would work right. Besides I wanted a rocker switch. Anyways, the type of switch you should be hunting for is a SPDT or 3 way switch that is momentary center off and on in both directions. If you want the exact switch I used you would ask for a single pole double throw momentary rocker switch, w/ center off and on in both directions. Hook up is simple. Just hook the hot wire onto the center terminal of the switch and the other 2 wires on the 2 remaining post, one wire is for the set/decel and theother one is for the resume/accel option. Then just position the switch in whatever direction you want it to be. Here's the finished product. SRS Jumper Ok now finally, Since you removed your stock steering wheel and replaced it with aftermarket one, more than likely you no longer have an airbag there so when you hook back up your battery the computer will realize a break in the srs system and disable it and your srs light will light up, if you want the other airbags in your car to work and also don't want to have your SRS light on constantly. All you need to do is find a 2.2 ohm resistor, not 2.2k and wire it into the srs system. You can find them at an electronics store. You can find them at radio shack also, many people say that they can't find them even the clerks at the shop say that they don't have them, but they do. They don't have them in individual 5 packs but they have a 500 pack bundle of resistors. I bought it cause I always need resistors for different projects and it was only $12.49. Only thing that sucked was that they didn't have them labeled so I had to pull it the old multi meter to test the resistance of each set till I found the right set. But since I'm such a nice guy I 'll tell you which set o fresistor you need. It's the one with 2 gold bands on one side and 2 red bands on the other *** guide for reading the colors on a resistor http://www.geocities.com/aliciainelp...color-code.gif *** Now if youpulled the connector like I said to disconnect the srs reel there should be a yellow male connector hanging under your dash as you're looking at the pic, it's the connector that's dangling closest to the brake pedal. Now cut one of the female connectors fron the airbag assembly and place your resistor in it. Now just hook up the plugs and you're done. Now if you didn't hook up the battery before completing the srs process you should be done and when you start your car the srs light should come on and go off as usual. If it stays on you either hooked your battery up for some reason or the resistor isn't making contact. Check your resistor plug then you have to reset your srs system. Just follow these simple steps 1. Pull the MES connector that is located in the upper right corner of the under dash fuse box. This is the location circled in blue This is the MES connector 2. With the ignition off insert a jumper wire or paperclip into the MES connector. If you're used to pulling error codes you should have no problem here. 3. Turn the ignition to the 2nd position, don't start the car, the srs light should go off after 6 seconds 4. As soon as the light goes off remove the paperclip, the light comes back on 5. Place the paperclip back in the connector, when the light goes off remove the paperclip. The light should blink 2 times then go off. turn ignition off wait 10 seconds then start vehicle as normal. If the light comes back on the resistor isn't making contact. Here's the finish products No SRS Hub and release Wheel Cruise control

I was inspired to cook by my Late Grandmother Mrs. Magdalene Aranha when I was barely 6 years old. I spent a lot of enjoyable days in her kitchen, smelling & tasting & sometimes helping prepare the food being cooked. This blog is dedicated to my Nana Maggie. I've lived in 5 countries and 18 cities, so I cook with a variety of influences and ingredients and that reflects in this blog.

Recipe: Kori Rotti - Chicken Curry - Manglorean Style
This is a traditional dish of the Bunts (Tulu Speaking) Community that originate from Mangalore. This dish is available in most Manglorean Restaurants in Bombay (majority of non-vegetarian Manglorean restaurants around India are owned by the Bunts)
This particular curry is poured over the Kori Rotti and the Rotti is eaten half crisp, half soggy. As far as I know the Rotti is no longer made in homes, it will be available in any Manglorean store in Bombay/Bangalore. I carry 4-5 packets of Rotti with me from Mangalore whenever I visit.
This dish can also be made with boiled eggs, for egg eating vegetarians and for strict vegetarians you can substitute chicken or eggs with potatoes.
The curry also goes well with plain rice or dosas, if you don't have access to Rotti.
1 kg chicken
3 onions
1+1/2 coconut (or 1/2 coconut + 3-4 200ml packets of Dabur coconut milk)
1/2 lime sized tamarind
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
12 short red chillies
10 long red chillies
1 tbsp corriander seeds
1 tsp peppercorns
1/2 tsp methi seeds
1 tsp jeera
1 pod garlic
little oil
salt to taste
a few curry leaves
In 1 tbsp oil/ghee fry one sliced onion. Add half a scraped coconut, tamarind, haldi and dry roast for a while.
Dry fry chillies seperately.
Dry fry corriander, pepper, methi
Lastly add jeera and garlic.
Grind all these ingredients to a fine paste
Extract coconut milk from 1 coconut or use Dabur coconut milk.
Mix the ground paste into the thin coconut milk and put on a low fire When the masala begins to bubble, add chicken pieces and 1 sliced onion.
Add salt to taste and cook till done.
Put the fire on sim and add the thick coconut milk and give it a very slow single boil.
Temper with 1 deep fried onion
Serve with kori rotti or rice.
coconut milk, you can use regular milk to balance the spice quotient.

have to try this curry with plain dosa made dry , that is what i can do :)
I like kerala style chicken stew and this one will be as good as that one...will let you know when i do..

I am in the US and dont have any mangalore stores here. Can you post the recipe for kori roti..

I honestly don't have a recipe for the rotti. Its only manufactured on an industrial level these days.
Technically, it is a kind of dosa rice that is ground slight;y coarsely, rolled into wafer thin sheets and left in the sun to dry.
The process is similar to rolling papads at home, but complicated by the wet grinding.
When I'm next in Mangalore, I will try and find someone to talk to about how to make rotti. If I manage to get an answer with quantities, I'll definitely post it on my blog.

Kori rotti is more of an orangish curry. I have been cooking it for 18 years now, so you need to check the ingredients and quantities

Indian cooking is not like French cooking : where you HAVE TO follow the SAME recipe.
There are variations within the same town and also within the same household.
The colour of the curry will change according to the type of red chillies used and quantity and the amount of browning.
I have seen Kori Rotti Chicken curries ranging in shades from light orange to dark brown and every shade in between

NEW RECRUITS (Session 6)
The valley at the foot of the Moonsfall Mountains is cloaked in a thin gauze of smoke from the many fires burning in the village of Naarash. Fire places are kept stoked to fight off winter's chill throughout the night and the kitchen's fires work all day to feed the 500 cultists who toil from dusk to dawn. The PCs headed to the comptroller's office at the end of their first day to receive their assignments for the following morning. A vacant ruined structure on low rise provided the characters a place to call their own for the night, even if the broken walls did little to protect them from the cold wind. They had promised Emesha they would discover what happened to Jaryn, but so far they lacked any real clues to his fate. All they knew was that they were in the one place that their friend was headed and answers were probably to be found in temple.
AMONG THE WOLVES (Session 5)
Having rescued the villagers from the Cultist's attack, the PC's climbed aboard Glasur's moonboat to continue on to the Pillars of Night. The days have turned even cooler as the season moves further toward winter and the cold wind blowing over the fast moving river has the passengers chilled to the bone. In need of a warm fire and a break from constant motion of the boat, the character's pulled into a small cove to camp for the night. Berend joined Glasur on deck for a nightcap as Tavar took first watch next to the feeble fire on the bank. Just as Thia andMogryn began to dose off, a lone figure jumped out the darkness.
THE DEAD MARCH (Session 4)
Two Doppelgangers lay dead in the ancient shrine after the ambush. One of the assassins escaped into the night but Mogryn quickly found its scent and tracked it through the woods. Two horses were discovered tethered to some trees and Mog found clear signs a third horse carried the surviving doppelganger to safety. The party quickly mounted up, and now with seven captured horses in tow, rode off to pursue their attacker. It wasn't long before Mog lost the trail while trying to track on horseback in the dark of night. The characters decided to give off pursuit and settle down to a fire-less night.
HOT ON THE TRAIL (Session 3)
The characters wake up the next morning after spending a chilly night in Vendar's small barn. It doesn't take long for everyone to realize that Remmy is not in the barn. Mogryn easily follows his trail outside and finds signs on where the boy had stood to relieve his bladder on the side of the barn. Looking around, the gnoll noticed the young rogue didn't walk back to the barn nor did he walk into the small village. It was if he vanished in thin air. A closer inspection at the spot where Remmy had stood revealed signs he was either startled or possibly…something lifted him into the air?
A FRIEND IN NEED (Session 2)
The party traveled south from Fallcrest for a week, deep into the borderlands, to reach the village of Riverfield on Harvest 26th. Weary from the long journey and soaked by the rain, the party made its way into the small village which had now been swollen by refugees from the outlying lands. The darkness and quiet of the village and camp were disrupted by cultists who were attacking and terrorizing the refugees. The cultist obviously didn't expect to encounter much resistance, but they fought to the death anyway.
A REUNION OF SORTS (Session 1)
The smooth taste of ale barely made it to your lips before you received the urgent message about your old friend in trouble. Erandil Zemoar, the proprietor of the Nentir Inn in Fallcrest, was gracious enough to let you get settled in and quench your thirst before bringing you the news. In any case, it's nice to be back home, if you can call a room at the Inn a home. Even Vanadir's songs seem especially comforting after the last few weeks sleeping in the woods or in dank caverns. Janyr was one of the original group and his leaving was a bit of an awkward moment. He had fallen for a devote cleric of Pelor and did a complete turnabout in a manner of days. His life was completely changed and you wondered if it was for the better. But many fond memories of the fighter have outlasted his many quirks. For better or worse and one way or another, there is a desire to find out what he has been up to these last few years.

Hong Kong protesters prepare for long haul
Riot police shot pepper spray and tear gas at protesters at the weekend but withdrew on Monday to ease tension as the ranks of demonstrators swelled. Protesters spent the night sleeping or holding vigil unharassed on normally busy roads in the global financial hub.
Throughout the night, rumors rippled through crowds of protesters that police were preparing to move in again. As the sun rose many remained wary, especially on the eve of Wednesday's anniversary of the Communist Party's foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
"Many powerful people from the mainland will come to Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government won't want them to see this, so the police must do something," Sui-ying Cheng, 18, a freshman at Hong Kong University's School of Professional and Continuing Education, said of the National Day holiday.
"We are not scared. We will stay here tonight. Tonight is the most important," she said.
The protesters, mostly students, are demanding full democracy and have called on the city's leader Leung Chun-ying to step down after Beijing on Aug. 31 ruled out free elections for Hong Kong's leader, known as the Chief Executive, in 2017.
China rules Hong Kong under a "one country, two systems" formula that accords the former British colony a degree of autonomy and freedoms not enjoyed in mainland China, with universal suffrage set as an eventual goal.
Protesters massed in at least four of Hong Kong's busiest areas, including Admiralty, where Hong Kong's government is headquartered, the Central business district, Causeway Bay, one of the city's most bustling shopping areas, and the densely populated Mong Kok district in Kowloon.
Organizers said as many as 80,000 people thronged the streets after the protests flared on Friday night. No independent estimate of numbers was available.
"I must stress that the events happening now cannot be attributed to the students or Occupy Central. It has evolved into a civil movement," said Alex Chow, the leader of the Hong Kong Federation of Students.
Protesters set up supply stations with water bottles, fruit, crackers, disposable raincoats, towels, goggles, face masks and tents, indicating they were in for the long haul.
Some lugged metal road barricades into positions on the edge of crowds, presumably to slow a police advance. In at least one location, several minivans and a truck were parked in rows in an apparent effort to block a road- Reuters

A world first! The flameless cook system uses water to activate a heat pack that will give you 40 minutes of cooking time at up to 194 degrees F per use(depending on heating pack used). This unique product is safe to use as there are no naked flames to get burnt on and there are no nasty fumes created meaning you can use it safely inside of a tent.
Flameless cook is an easy, safe and lightweight alternative to gas or liquid fuel stoves. The system uses water activated heat packs to cook in a safe and controlled way.
The heat packs are ultra-lightweight and easy to carry, easily stored in their packaging within the flameless cook system when not in use, the self-contained system allows you to cook and eat from the same container cutting down on weighty stoves and gas canisters.
The Flameless cook system can be ideal for many situations and scenarios. It can be used whilst out walking or hiking to heat a lunch in the box, or to make a hot drink in the beaker. The portability and simplicity makes it suitable for endurance races, or lightweight camping.
As it produces no flame many people find it perfect to use whilst sailing as a means to easily heat meals whilst on the ship. With its compact design it is easy to store or stow away when not in use, and can also be used for storage of the heat packs and other accessories like utensils between meals.
As it is simple and easy to use, the Flameless Cook system has proved very popular with many D of E participants and leaders. It is now much easier to prepare a hot lunch or dinner without having to handle gas canisters or liquid fuels. The Flameless Cook box can be left whilst pitching a tent and be ready to enjoy in just 7-10 minutes.
The Flameless cook is also great for festivals as more events are banning the use of gas stoves, BBQ's and other conventional ways to cook due to safety on the sites. Flameless Heat packs are safe to carry whilst camping, taking to festivals, and also in checked bags whilst flying.
Please read all instructions thoroughly before use. Only use in well ventilated areas. Please only dispose of heat packs and used water in a safe and environmentally friendly way.

Beginning September 1, 2017 Texans can legally carry a handgun for a reduced price. Governor Greg Abbott signed a Senate Bill 16 (SB 16) this week that lowers the fees for a license to carry a handgun in the state of Texas. According to the Governor's office, this legislation will "decrease the financial burden on law-abiding Texans that are seeking to obtain or renew the proper licensing to legally carry a handgun. Additionally, the bill waives the license fee required for peace officers and members of the Texas military forces."
"Texas is known for its strong Second Amendment rights laws, and I'm proud to further strengthen those rights today," said Governor Abbott. "No law abiding Texan should be priced out of the ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights. I'd like to thank Senator Robert Nichols and Representative Phil King for their work in expanding liberty in Texas."
SB 16 fee reductions include:
- Cutting the first-time license to carry a handgun fee from $140 to $40.
- Lowering the renewal fee from $70 to $40.
- Waives the fee for peace officers and members of the Texas military forces.
In 2013, the Dayton News of Dayton, Texas, found that of the 50,869 convictions of individuals age 21 or over that year for violent crimes in Texas, only 158 convicted individuals — or 0.3106 percent — held a concealed handgun license. That didn't include all crimes, such as drug crimes, frauds, or traffic offenses. They focused on violent crimes and weapons-related offenses to include: murders, sexual assaults, kidnappings, and terroristic threats, burglary, consumer product tampering and public lewdness.
Prior to his election as governor in 2014, Greg Abbott was the 50th and longest-serving Attorney General of Texas. As the state's chief law enforcement official, he made protecting Texas communities the focus of his tenure. He also previously served as a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court and as a State District Judge in Harris County.
Click here for more information on applying for a license to carry a handgun in Texas.
"It's unbelievable [that] Texas is one of the most costly states in the United States of America to get a license to carry," Abbott said Friday. "No Texan should be priced out of their way to defend themselves."

Laptop Buying Guide For A Beginner
Our society has become one that is constantly connected to technology, with most people carrying around some device with them that can connect to the Internet. For those that need a strong amount of processing power wherever they go, such as students, laptops are the best choice in a mobile device. How do you select the best laptop for you? It all depends on your specific needs; like what you plan on using the laptop for as well as the type of programs that you plan to be running on it. For example, a gamer will need more power in a laptop than someone who will use the laptop primarily for writing. Websites like Techibest.com offers full in depth reviews for laptops and smartphones, You can also take help from these types of sites. Here are some things that you will need to consider when you are buying a laptop.
Size: The size of the laptop is something to consider when you are deciding on what laptop model to buy. If you are someone who walks or uses public transportation, you will probably want a small, lightweight model. For those that plan on using their laptop primarily for surfing the Internet and writing, you may want to get a very lightweight and portable netbook.
Screen quality: You will want to make sure that you will get a laptop with top of the line screen quality, especially if you use it for watching videos or gaming. You may want to make sure that you will stay away from the touchscreen models, because those screens tend to have a glossy finish which will create a glare, which can negatively impact your viewing and gaming experience.
RAM: RAM controls all the amount of applications that you can have running at one time. The RAM also impacts the speed of your computer and how fast that they run. This is a large contributing factor for people who enjoy online gaming.
Storage: For those that use many different applications and save a large amount of data, storage is an important factor to consider. If you want to have a light laptop but one with for the best storage capability you may want to choose a laptop with solid state drive rather than a hard drive.
CPU: A CPU, otherwise known as a core processor unit, is vital to your laptop performance. The most common core processor is made by Intel and comes in models Core i3 to Core i7. A Core i5 processor is what most computers are equipped with while you may want to get a Core i7 if you are planning on using your computer for complicated processes.
There are many different factors that you will want to consider when you are searching for a laptop. We have highlighted the five most important factors to consider in order to make your buying experience a little easier. If you are looking for a laptop you can find some great deals on used laptops at NewEgg or purchase a new one at Best Buy. Consider what is most important to you when you are buying your laptop as well as the different processes that you will be using the laptop for before making your buying decision.

Connie Britton has no regrets about becoming a single mother, but the actress does lament that she doesn't have a sex life anymore.
"I have no sex life right now," Britton said on the new Lifetime series, "The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet" on Thursday. "I keep thinking about how I could do it, how I could pull it off."
Britton adopted an Ethiopian baby boy named Yoby in November 2011, after a three year adoption process. She told Amanda de Cadenet that while she feel she's in "great shape to meet a man," she lacks the time to date with a child and her new ABC series "Nashville," which is set to debut in the fall.
"I do very strongly believe that he and I did choose each other," Britton said of Yoby. "I think that's really true with adopted children. I know that he is my son."
The 45-year-old actress was married for four years to John Britton, before the couple divorced in 1995. Though she told Cadenet that she would have loved to raise her son with a partner, she knew she didn't want to wait to start a family.
"There was a lot of grief about having not started this journey with the man who was going to be my partner. I anticipate finishing it with a man who's going to be my partner," Britton told Cadenet. "I definitely had to grieve that, but I also didn't want to wait anymore. I absolutely know that this was something that I want for my life, and I'm really fortunate... and I feel like I can do it."
On "Nashville," Britton will star as a 40-year-old country music star who is forced to team up with a young country vixen (Hayden Panettiere) in hopes of reviving her career.
Britton is best known for her role as Tami Taylor in "Friday Night Lights," a role which got her nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards. The series was based on a film of the same name, Britton portrayed the head coach's wife in both, but her character had a different name in the film.
She also starred opposite Dylan McDermott in the first season of the hugely popular FX series, "American Horror Story." Breakout star Jessica Lange will star in the second season, which will take place in a different setting and will feature handful of returning cast members portraying new characters.
Britton made her big screen debut as Molly McMullen in "The Brothers McMullen" in 1995 and appeared in the comedy series "Ellen" the same year. She has also had recurring roles on "24" and "The West Wing."

Aug. 30 — The Federal Communications Commission ended the first stage of the spectrum incentive auction Aug. 30 and announced it would progress to a second stage at a lower spectrum clearing target.
The agency made the move after 27 rounds of bidding in the first stage reached $23.1 billion in auction proceeds, well below the $88.4 billion necessary to close the auction at the first stage. Industry analysts predict that second round bids will likely top out around $30 billion to $35 billion.
The first-of-its-kind incentive auction involves a form of two-step spectrum flipping from the broadcast TV industry into the hands of wireless carriers. Eligible forward auction bidding participants include top national wireless carriers AT&T Inc., T-Mobile US Inc. and Verizon Wireless, as well as regional carriers, satellite carrier Dish Network Corp. and cable provider Comcast Corp.
The FCC started the first stage of bidding at its initial 126 megahertz (MHz) spectrum clearing target after receiving strong pressure from both sides of the auction to try to open up as much spectrum as possible. However, the amount of auction proceeds needed to close at that level proved to be beyond the market's ability to supply.
The FCC's move was widely expected. The commission designed the auction to run through multiple stages at successively lower spectrum targets, based on market demand. Telecom industry analysts had predicted that the auction would progress to at least a second stage, though most had not predicted the first stage, which began Aug. 16, would end so soon (2016 TLN 5, 9/1/16).
The FCC may announce a start date for the second stage of the auction as soon as Aug. 31. Auction procedures require a minimum of five business days between stages.
The next stage is expected to be set at a clearing target of 114 MHz. The cost to clear broadcasters from that amount of spectrum should be several billion dollars below the $88.4 billion target set in Round 1, but will also result in fewer wireless licenses on the auction block.
