Quality Quotations:
"No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now." Alan Watts, Writer
Jack P Rocket-Man Chronicle, REV.16.
Jack P Rocket-Man is FICTION. No warranties expressed or implied.
REM: Triskaidekaphobia: the fear of the number 13. The Toronado Motor Inn at Skyhaven in 2002, that family, the two missing children, they had signed in on the register as occupying Unit 13. How's that connect with Year 2103, and the Four Visitors?
JPRM: That had me worried. We need to back up just a little. My Engineering partner Gregory Johnstone had something to do with it. Most likely unwittingly, or by chance, or both. The Visitors — as well as myself — had concluded that Johnstone was firmly embedded in another world…. The past. A One-Trick Pony. Liaison.
Back in August, 2001 Johnstone and I had found some part-time work for the Santa Clara, California place. Basic Engineering, Electro-Mechanical Packaging, Electronic Hardware, Firmware, Software.
The Santa Clara Clients gave the two of us some very unconventional "Cognitive Ability Tests," CATs. They were searching for talents and tendencies outside the mainstream.
True, The Visitors made a beeline for the Toronado Motor Inn. But, other than propelling me forward one century in time, to our Earth on the edge of annihilation, the rest could be coincidence, conjecture, and context.
Then it occurred to me: (1) The Visitors may have a strategic reason for the location. It offered a superior vantage point on the Atlantic, Parrot Cove, and the Shoals Islands. (2) I had never mentioned to them the story of missing children at Unit 13, it was very possible the paranormal was not of interest to The Visitors. I wished.
I had verified the Toronado Story, the missing children wasn't urban legend. I had some connections with the various Security and LEO people at the THT Airport, but they said there was no mention of E.T.s in that 2002 incident. Also, no Aliens in the police reports, no Google Search, no YouTube Videos.
So therefore no E.T. Visitors. Right?
Just like in my daily walks in the twenty-first century, the "Skyhaven Shoal Project, 23 Condominiums…" was still standing. I had never seen it from the inside until that moment in 2102. The Four Visitors and I had walked, it was less than a mile; except in 2002 there wasn't a tunnel beneath Route US-1A.
I wondered if the Visitor's underground passage — it resembled very much a subway system, except clean — had trolleys too. Back in 2003, Great Parrot Avenue had been intact, with all the seven-figure homes, the two Bentleys, the multiple Mercedes, batches of BMW's, and a single extremely unique Bugatti Veyron owned by the equally unusual futurist, posthumanist, genius whose name began with a C.
I recognized the expired Building Permit dated 5/7/2003 that I kept re-reading obsessively on my walks along the ocean back in what I considered "real time." The permit was still there, except I had never seen it from the inside of the deserted motor inn 98 years in the future!
The Toronado Motor Inn had been a notoriously dirty, unkept, miserable dwelling, subject to Early-AM renovations commonly known in the vernacular as "trashing," implemented by some of the more boisterous, imaginative clientele, who always visited on short notice, short funds, and consistently celebrated their marginal existence in a heartfelt manner.
That, and the Parsons Family Unit 13 missing children mystery in year 2002 definitively concluded the "Toronado Chapter" of history at 134 Ocean Avenue, Skyhaven NH, USA.
Gracie was obviously aware of my germ-phobia; that mind-reading thing, like my wife Louise is so good at — even though Louise is superficially a "Homo Sapiens Sapiens" like myself, and Gracie is obviously not her twin sister. "The place has been sanitized."
"Consider this structure a stage-set. We needed the location, and wanted to blend in with the surroundings." I could understand how four strikingly perfect virtually identical impeccably attired matte-gray pigmented strangers who could communicate without saying a word would attract attention — even with the summer beach crowd.
"We're here because there remains plus or minus one-percent of the time left to solve the Sun Problem, which began in 2002 but none of you folks, 'Homo Sapiens Sapiens,' caught on until a bit later; nearly 2010."
I experienced a gray rush of terror upon hearing the "plus or minus" tolerance specified by Gracie so casually. In Engineering terms, presumably time-travel was a form of Engineering, the minus factor could be fatal. We could be already dead….
As my Engineering-Pony-Man Gregory would ask: "If minus, yes, than is it, just five (meaning the visitors and me), or the end of the world for all?"
I could see him, Gregory, seated at his battered desk in that pit of an office littered with books, magazines, cat fur, and dust bunnies; back there at the Image Processing Company in the 'Nineties; calmly speculating would someone come to wake him, dress him, and send him off tomorrow morning — or, would it be an "End-Of-World Holiday?"
Gracie resumed her informative, friendly patter. "Hashima Island: that place in Japan, crumbling, deserted. That's what happens when there is 'Life After People'. It's not so bad here, though, because the ratio of building construction was limited by the marshland and need for vehicle parking during the summer tourist season."
Tourists: were we, the Four Visitors and I, tourists? Was there a time-traveler discount at the Toronado, A.K.A. Skyhaven Shoal Condominiums, A.K.A. stage setting for the Twilight Zone?
I was invited to Floor Two by The Visitors. It was by way of their mind-speak, evidently Gracie, the loquacious one, wanted to disassociate herself from that particular communication. I noticed that unlike the Karl-Scenario and the Black-Jet-Narrative on science, contradiction, and conundrums, it was the four of them as one:
Imagine a sand sculpture. Like the festivals they had every August in Skyhaven. The sand there was perfect for assembly. Interstitial Bridges is the proper term for what holds the sand together there. There's just enough water. Too much and the creation flushes away. While you create it. Too little means dry particles. They don't stick.
The Toronado is really real. Changed. Altered. That's all. The particles are held together with a candy shell. The sculptors call it candy shell. You can eat it. It's not sweet like sugar. It is really white glue. Diluted. Very thin. Come up to Floor Two. Inside the region between Twelve and Fourteen.
Gracie was speaking once more, verbally, not the mind-speak. She sounded very much like Louise when connected to me on a cell-phone. Sweet. Perfect.
But interspersed with Gracie's words: visions of Angels, Demons, Shamans, and Shapeshifters flashed in rapid intermittent sequences. Why bother with the accursed location?
"For the Chosen One."

LSL List
A list is a special kind of data type which can contain zero or more elements of any of the other data types recognised in LSL.
Lists are signified by square brackets surrounding their elements; the elements inside are separated by commas.
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4] ["Yes", "No", "Perhaps"]
Diverse Data Types
Elements in a list do not need to be all of the same type. In the same list, you can store strings, integers, floats, vectors, and rotations, right side by side.
//a list with an integer, a float, a string, and a vector. [1, 14.154, "Isn't this fun?", <0,0,0>]
However, a list may not contain another list (i.e. you can't nest them.)
[1, "one", 2, "two"] + [3, "three"] returns [1, "one", 2, "two", 3, "three"]
[1, "one", 2, "two", [3, "three"]]
When you add an element to a list, the list remembers automatically what data type the value was.
Generally, because you're the one adding something to a list, you know what datatype is in what place in the list, and you retrieve it out of the list with the appropriate llList2<type> function such as: llList2String, llList2Vector, etc. (more on this later.)
If for some reason, though, you need to test what data type an element is in a list, you can use the llGetListEntryType function.
List can be directly typecast into string.
default { touch_start(integer total_number) { list MyList = ["abc", 1, 2, 3.14, <0,0,0>]; llOwnerSay( (string) MyList ); // outcome: abc123.140000<0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000> } }
integer min; integer max; integer total; llSay(0, (string) ["Minimum: ", min, " Maximum: ", max, " Total: ", total] ); // requires 1 explicit cast instead of 3
or can use a do while condition to say each list item separately
default { touch_start(integer total_number) { list MyList = ["abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl", "lmn", "opq"]; integer i; integer length = llGetListLength(MyList); do llOwnerSay(llList2String(MyList, i) ); while(++i < length); } }
Common List Operations
Counting place in a list vs list length
It is important at the outset to note the following (which can trip up even experienced minds when they are battle-weary):
["Yes", "No", "Perhaps"]
The length of this list is 3, because it has 3 elements in it. The length of a list is returned by the llGetListLength() function:
integer length = llGetListLength(mylist);
BUT, counting to determine an element's place in its list (aka "indexing") starts at 0 – NOT 1.
The position of "Yes" in the above list is 0, "No" is at position 1, and "Perhaps" is at position 2.
Consequently, if you have 7 elements in a list, the last item in the list will be at position 6.
Positions in a list can also be counted from the right-hand end progressing to the left by using negative indexes.
Then the position of the right-most entry is -1, and the position of the left-most entry is the negative of the list length.
Thus to retrieve elements near to the end of a list, without having to know in advance its forward position, or the list length, you can just say:
string LastItem = llList2String(myList, -1); string LastButOne = llList2String(mylist, -2); // etc.
Adding an Element to a list
There are several ways used to add an element to an existing list via prepending/appending:
myList = [new_item] + myList; // Best method for pre-pending in Mono-LSL. Note: a single new item is presented as a list
myList = myList + new_item; // Best method for appending a single new entry in Mono. Note the new item is NOT presented as a list
myList += new_item; // appended item with simplified syntax
myList = myList + [new1, new2]; // appended list concatenation (less efficient in Mono for a single new item)
myList += [new1, new2]; // appended list concatenation with simplified syntax
myList = (myList=[]) + myList + [new_item]; // Recommended for LSO. Appended list concatenation with memory fragmentation optimization
myList = (myList=[]) + myList + new_item; // Recommended for LSO-LSL: appended item with memory fragmentation optimization
- Method 1 is the most memory efficient under Mono-LSL. But not under LSO.
- Note that prepending the new_item without brackets negates any memory savings in Mono-LSL.
- Method 1 will consume more memory than other methods in LSO-LSL.
- As of 8/8/2009 Method 7 returns the best memory savings in LSO-LSL.
- Methods 2 & 3 compile to the same thing.
- Methods 4 & 5 compile to the same thing.
- Methods 6 & 7 can result in a considerable memory savings in LSO-LSL over methods though there is an LSO-LSL VM bug that causes the string & key typecasts to not stick properly: SVC-1710. (It helps reduce heap fragmentation, which would otherwise result in unusable blocks of heap memory)[1]. In Mono-LSL it provides no significant memory advantage or disadvantage.
- Depending upon the situation (in LSO-LSL) this method may not provide any advantage whatsoever. If in doubt profile the script with and without using this method.
Joining Lists (aka Concatenation)
Lists can be joined simply by using the + sign:
newlist = list01 + list02; newlist = list01 + ["red","brown",<0,0,0>];
Note: The above example actually creates 3 lists in memory while the command runs, even though just one is returned. This can affect memory usage.
Note: Concatenation can ONLY be done by executable code in LSL, you cannot use + while declaring a global list.
Passing a List Into a Function
Passing a list into a function is little different than passing any other data type, however, there are some useful cases to be aware of:
myList = llListReplaceList(myList, ["myString"], 2, 2);
In the above code, we call llListReplaceList(), an innocent enough operation, however, due to the way passing of lists, and functions such as llListReplaceList(), llDeleteSubList(), llList2List() and llListSort() (and others), work, you can end up using two, three, or even four times the amount of memory required to store your list, just by calling that function! To avoid this problem, we can use a small piece of optimisation; if you know that the list you're passing into such a function will never be read again (for example if the result of the function will overwrite the list) then we can do this:
myList = llListReplaceList((myList = []) + myList, ["myString"], 2, 2);
The effect of this is to greatly reduce the memory usage and fragmentation in LSO-LSL but has no effect in Mono-LSL (fragmentation does not impact scripts in Mono). This technique is sometimes referred to as "Voodoo magic". This can also work for other cases other than function-calls, for example when concatenating lists (above), you may find that this nearly eliminates any memory problem:
list list1 = ["a", "b", "c"]; list2 = ["d", "e", "f"]; list3 = (list1 = list2 = []) + list1 + list2;
Processing a List Into Another List
A more complex case, but sometimes when processing a large list you may find that you are producing a similarly large list as a result. In such cases there is a very large risk of running out of memory. As a result, in any case where you know you will, or might, be working on a particularly large list, it will often be worth manipulating them similarly to:
list myOutput = []; integer i = 0; integer x = myList != []; for (; i < x; ++i) { if (i > 10) { // Prune list every 10 elements myList = llDeleteSubList((myList = []) + myList, 0, i - 1); x -= i; i = 0; } // Do some work here: myOutput += llList2List(myList, i, i); // A silly bit of example work }
This method (deleting every few list entries or strides) is preferable to deleting an entry every loop, as the cost of calling llDeleteSubList() is very high. It is up to the scripter to decide what their optimal chunk-size is for pruning an input list, as you will need to balance memory use with delete cost.
Comparing Lists
Equality test on lists does not compare contents, only the length. Hence:
if ( [1,2,3,4] == [0,0,0,0] ) { // TRUE path } else { // FALSE path }
will take the TRUE path.
!= operator, on the other hand, breaks the LSL rule that comparisons only return
TRUE or
FALSE, and instead returns the difference of the lengths of both lists. Consequently, both statements below are equivalent, and both
a and
b will be equal to
-2 after executing this:
integer a = [1,2] != [3,4,5,6]; integer b = llGetListLength([1,2]) - llGetListLength([3,4,5,6]);
See also 'ListCompare' for comparing if two lists are really equal including the contents.
Strided lists
One common use of lists is to duplicate the functionality of structured collections of data (aka structs). Such collections, available in many programming languages, are absent from LSL.
In-world in SL, (still as of July 2008), a strided list is the closest you can get to storing limited amounts of data in some kind of structure that you can access and manipulate in a few, limited ways.
Strided lists allow you to store related data pieces grouped (aka "strided") in sets. You can determine how many pieces of data in each "grouping."
An example is best at this point. You might use a strided list to track the names, gender and rez dates of a group of avatars:

It's 7pm on a warm school night in Phoenix. Teenagers, some with backpacks full of homework, others with hands full of snacks, stream into a nondescript building in the central corridor. Their conversations and laughter carry.
It's common teenage stuff: boy bands, high school gossip, crushes, the stress of school work.
Yet they are gathering, as teens have for decades, not to eat pizza or go bowling but to be the ear for others who may be in trouble.
Teen Lifeline, created in 1986 by a local behavioral health provider, took more than 12,600 calls last year—with most coming from Arizona kids. The calls are answered by peers—teen volunteers who have completed extensive training before taking their first call.
"Our goal is to help inform the caller," says Nikki Kontz, clinical director for the organization. "If they are considering running away and living on the streets, we discuss the legal consequences so they make informed decisions. We are helping callers understand they aren't living in a vacuum; there are consequences to decisions. We want the caller to understand the larger issue and empower to make the healthiest decision. We also always encourage seeking help from a healthy adult in their life. Sometimes this is the parent, sometimes not."
Teen Lifeline took more than 12,600 calls last year—with most coming from Arizona kids.
One quarter of the calls received deal specifically with suicide or self-injury. However, Kontz says, all calls are considered suicide prevention because of their mission to help callers make good choices.
Kontz is passionate about her work at Teen Lifeline—and for good reason.
"My sophomore year in high school, I lost a close friend to suicide," she says. "I saw the devastation it caused in our social circle. I went to a Catholic school and the way of handling it wasn't effective or empathetic. Luckily, I had a teacher who knew about Teen Lifeline. It was a good connection for me, and I was able to help kids who were going through this. I didn't want anyone else to suffer."
In the process, Kontz "found her second family."
"As a teenager you don't feel like you can make a difference; everything is connected to adults," she says. "With Teen Lifeline, I made a difference. I connected with individuals, and because of that I stayed. I volunteered all through high school and college, and when I moved home from graduate school I was hired."
Kontz describes a recent call.
"A freshman in high school called the hotline a couple times," Kontz recalls. "She, and her family, considered her an 'All-American girl.' She was in honors classes, in multiple clubs at school, well liked, and a big contender in a competitive sport. Like with a lot of teens, it all became really overwhelming. As the stress piled on she began isolating herself to study and practice but it wasn't helping her grades or her sport. That's when she began to feel suicidal.
"She had heard about Teen Lifeline in school and decided to call. She describes it as the first time someone really listened to her without judgement, or trying to find a quick fix. In that first call, with the help of the teen counselor, she was able to find reasons to live and was able to finally talk to her parents about how she was feeling. She was able to get the help and support she needed.
"A couple years later she decided to volunteer to give back to other teens the way that the peer counselor she talked to did. She has been with us for three years now and is thriving in her first year of college."
I want Phoenicians to know that suicide is preventable.
Kontz smiles and continues, "Her story is exactly why I have stayed with Teen Lifeline for so long. It is rare we get to actually see the lasting impact we have on a teen first hand. Usually once they get the help they need, they don't need to call and we don't hear back from them. I know we helped them but to actually see the impact is amazing. Teens are incredible. They have such resilience and insight. It is amazing to help them find their inner strength and give them the tools to go forward."
The line is available for the community at large. Additionally, the organization provides training and materials for families, schools, and communities who are interested.
"I want Phoenicians to know that suicide is preventable. I want people to know what to look for and how to help people that are struggling with giving up hope that things will ever get better. Any teen at any time can give us a call no matter how big or small their problem is," she says.

Hey, all. Hope you had a nice holiday weekend. I had hoped to have an interesting new article finished and posted this morning, but some family issues have kept me occupied the past several days. I'm getting close, but it may be a day or two yet before I can finish.
I get antsy when I'm wanting to publish and can't get it done. This article turned out to be a bigger project than anticipated and has taken a couple of weeks. However, we do have a new TR Podcast and a Fred Silver comic up to keep you company, and we should be posting another review later today. Stay tuned for more from me, also, as soon as I can bring this one to completion.

In our last post we have learnt how dry density of soil is related to water content in compaction process. Here we will discuss this phenomenon in light of electric double layer theory and soil structure. Lambe in 1958 provided this relation as discussed below.
At first we will discuss about adsorbed water as it is related to this discussion. We know in some soil surface, there have electro-chemical charges which can hold water. This electro-chemically bond water is adsorbed water. As electrical force act on this water, the behavior of adsorbed water is quite different from normal water.
Plasticity of cohesive soil is due to this adsorbed water. Dear reader in our upcoming post we will learn in details about adsorbed water. Here we want to co-relate its influence on changes in dry density.
In this part we simply explain the phenomena like – the attraction forces in layer of adsorbed water are large when water content is low and produce more resistance against movement of soil particles thus wasting compacting effort.
When water content in soil mass in increased, the repulsive forces remain in particles are increased to allow sliding over one another and finally lead to closely packed condition.
We think you are not satisfied with this explanation, to know how do actually repulsive force developed please read next part, will be published consecutively.
Let consider a cohesive soil deposit to be compacted. In cohesive soil attraction force between adjacent soil particles is defined as van der waals' force. Dear reader we have already learnt about adsorbed water which produces repulsive forces.
When double layers of this water come close to each other the repulsive force is generated. Repulsive force between two layers has direct relation with size of double layers; but attractive force remains identical at the same magnitude.
If the resultant of these two forces is attractive, a flocculated structure is found. But if resultant is repulsive, our purpose of reducing resistance of movement is achieved i.e. particles will have tendency to move away i.e. dispersed.
When water content is low, double layer producing repulsive force do not developed completely; thus attraction force governs over repulsion. Thus more compaction effort is required to reach a certain degree of compaction and the consequence is low dry density of compacted soil.
With the increase in water content, double layer is expanded to increase repulsive forces. Now the particles can easily slide past one another reducing compacting effort and becomes packed easily and more closely. The consequence is high dry density.
The double layer's expansion is not infinite. At optimum water content (optimum moisture content, OMC), this expansion process is completed and we can notice from compaction curve that maximum dry density reached at this water content. Beyond OMC, water fills the space between soil grains increasing void in soil mass thus reducing dry density.

Clive Palmer has blasted the Queensland Government's approval of the Adani coal mine today as 'too little, too late."
"The window of opportunity started two years ago with this mining cycle and Queensland is now behind the eight ball yet again," Mr Palmer said.
"It should be up and running by now. Potentially billions of dollars in royalties have been lost which could have funded hospitals and schools," he said.
Mr Palmer said the collapse of the Labor vote in Queensland had seen Annastacia Palaszczuk hit the panic button and do a backflip on her policies to support the Adani project
"First she didn't want mining, then became a turncoat following the federal election results," Mr Palmer said.
Mr Palmer said urgent consideration must now also be given to other Queensland mining projects which will create employment for thousands of people.
"Adani is not the only mine in Queensland.
"Serious questions need to be asked as to why this government is giving an unfair advantage to a foreign company, and access to our highest-quality coal which once converted to final products and services will be sold back to Australia for thousands times more.
"This is the same government that just this week committed huge amounts of taxpayer money to provide lower rail freight charges for existing multi-national mineral producers such as Glencore on the Mount Isa Line.
"This is a state Government with no leadership and no vision, they only care about themselves and their jobs," Mr Palmer said.

South Cleveland Garages Teesside League, Division One.
Bedale jolted their visitors' title aspirations with this goalless draw.
Three weeks earlier BEADS had won their Macmillan Bowl quarter-final 3-0.
But this time, in an evenly-balanced game, neither side could make the breakthrough and for both teams it was their second goalless draw of the season.
WHITBY side Fishburn Park have won all four games they played during March after a fairly indifferent season.
They entertained second from bottom side Mackinlay Park who were looking for points in their efforts to pull away from the foot of the table.
But Duncan Marson - back after a two-week lay-off through injury - opened the scoring for Fishburn in the eighth minute when he outpaced the Mackinlay defence before beating the keeper.
Ten minutes later Paul Graham made it 2-0 when he had the simple task of side-footing into an empty net.
And the match was all over when Scott Clarkson scored in the 35th minute.
In the second half the heavy pitch took its toll and both sides looked very weary and no further goals were forthcoming.
THIS was a draw that helped neither team.
The Boys' Club were hoping to retain the championship, while Carlin How have been in contention for most of the season.
The first half was very tight and even and at half-time the match remained goalless.
The second half was also very tight but in the 67th minute the Boys' Club took the lead with a hotly-contested penalty, tucked away by Stephen Scott.
Carlin How pressed forward and, with four minutes remaining, Nicky Ward levelled it up.
NEW Marske did their outside hopes of avoiding the drop a power of good and dragged SMG Redstripes back into the fight.
Adam Taylor gave the home side a great start when he scored after only five minutes.
The match swung from end to end but the home doubled their lead in the 38th minute when Darren Henry scored.
In the second half neither side was able to make any further impression on the score until the 80th minute when Mark Taylor pulled it back to 2-1.
However a few minutes later he was sent off, leaving his side a task they were unable to overcome while New Marske breathed some life into their fight for survival.
NUNTHORPE Athletic fought out an eight-goal end-to-end thriller against Richmond.
The home side took the lead after ten minutes when their man-of-the-match Paul Normington found the net.
The match swung from end to end but in the 33rd minute Michael Sartini pulled it back to 1-1 and right on the stroke of half-time Adam Emson gave Richmond a 2-1 half-time lead with his 14th goal of the season.
A minute into the second half the match was all square when Paul Lancaster made it 2-2.
The same player struck again in the 50th minute to give Nunthorpe a 3-1 lead.
And on the hour Normington seemed to have secured a Nunthorpe win when he scored his second of the match.
But Richmond - due to take on Thornaby YC in the semi-final of the Macmillan Bowl today - showed their fighting spirit.
Matthew Hill pulled it back to 4-3 in the 80th minute and in the last minute a corner was poked home from close range by Tom Ptak to secure a 4-4 draw.
THORNABY were beaten by Hartlepool who, if they win their games in hand, will be crowned champions.
But, as they have yet to play Grangetown, BEADS and Carlin How, they have plenty to do.
The home side started of brightly and a Michael Arif through ball was just out of reach of his striking partner Danny Jones.
In the second half Hartlepool brought on Chris Archer whose introduction seemed to liven up play.
His shot from an acute angle hit the bar, but bounced out to safety.
Hartlepool made the breakthrough in the 70th minute when a cross-shot from Adam Broome seemed to come of a defender before landing in the back of the net.
Thornaby nearly made it square from the kick-off when a shot on the Hartlepool goal was parried out and Neil Preston reacted quickly, only for Steven Jewson in the visitors goal to bring of a good save to help his team secure all three points.
THORNABY Youth Club bounced back from two narrow defeats with a narrow win of their own.
And, a week before their Macmillan Bowl semi-final with Richmond, it was a confidence booster.
Thornaby pressed forward against a Stokesley side who have slowly pulled themselves out of the relegation battle.
Darren Fixter had a good chance to put the Youth Club ahead after 35 minutes but a defender managed to get his foot to the ball and clear.
Five minutes before half-time Matty Drury pulled off a good save from a Gary Waite header to send his side into the half-time break on level terms.
The second half was again even but, with eight minutes remaining, the Youth Club finally made the breakthrough when Chris Wrathmall broke clear and hammered the ball home from eight yards.
Four minutes later they could have doubled their advantage when Mac Allen broke through the Stokesley defence but his shot hit the post and was cleared.
The visitors, who always looked dangerous on the break, had a chance through Sam Vernalls but the Youth Club were well worth their win.

Now in its eighth year the Charity are delighted to be continuing their partnership with Peter Vosper and Devon based Vospers Mazda, who are great supporters.
Caroline Creer, Fundraising Director of Devon Air Ambulance Trust said "We would like to thank Peter Vosper and Vospers Mazda for their continued support of the Charity. Providing the car at a substantially reduced rate to us really does make a huge difference and means more of the money raised goes straight into keeping our two helicopters flying. Since the start of the draw their generosity has helped raise over £450,000. This year we hope to exceed half a million pounds."
Caroline continued "Draw tickets are now available in our 14 shops across the county. They will also be for sale at all of the events we attend throughout the year including the Devon County Show. We also mail out to our supporters who receive our Helipad magazine by post in July."
Alex Bass of Vospers Mazda said "Vospers Mazda and Mazda UK are extremely pleased to be supporting Devon Air Ambulance Trust again this year, this our eighth year of partnership together. This is a fantastic local charity with a wonderful, passionate and dedicated team of people that deliver excellence. Devon Air Ambulance can benefit any one of us in that time of critical need wherever we are in the
county of Devon, so please give it your full support."
The winning tickets will be drawn on Sunday 27 September at the Charity's Dragon Boat Race at The Exeter Quay.

A local amateur radio operator played a role in aiding some lost hikers recently in the Paddy Creek area in northwest Texas County.
Richard Wood (KB0MPO) overheard a call for help on a ham radio repeater last Saturday. The person was asking for assistance for himself and several hikers who became lost on the Paddy Creek Trail. The hikers had portable ham radio equipment and found a local repeater frequency to call for help. The hikers described their location, and Wood assessed the situation and gave directions to return to their campsite.
When some of the hikers decided it was too far to make the trip back, Wood notified the sheriff's department to make a rescue. They ultimately returned to their starting origin without incident.

Does This Fashion Editorial Reinforce Asian Stereotypes?
This Interview Magazine fashion editorial shot by Billy Kidd is being criticized for perpetuating racist stereotypes towards Asian immigrants. The editorial, styled by Andrew Mukamal, has been called out by designer Phillip Lim and photographer Mark Gong, alongside many others within and outside of the fashion industry for its insensitivity towards the problematic clichés that have historically been assigned to Asian communities and propagated throughout media.
The photographs feature Asian model, Xiaoyin, in a traditional conical straw hat that is used throughout Asia to protect day laborers from the sun and rain when farming. The hat, in questionable taste, is branded with the Chanel logo and paired with Chanel sandals as the model carries an entire selection of what seem to be counterfeit Chanel handbags throughout Chinatown. Hmm, fucked up? You decide…
The editorial is named, "Coco Served Hot," arguably reinforcing its mocking of immigrants' struggle of selling imitation goods to make it in America. The title, an apparent play on words, explicitly connects "Coco" to the Chanel handbags and "served hot," to "hot goods," which are illegal products manufactured in violation of fair labor and wage requirements (typically faux designer goods). Further, the photographs were shot in Chinatown, a New York City district known for its market of counterfeit products sold largely by Asian immigrants along Canal street. In a heated discussion within the comments of Kidd's Instagram, Phillip Lim asserts that:
These images reinforce several stereotypes that Asian immigrants/communities work so hard to break from—
- Hawking counterfeit goods
- It mocks the actual everyday struggle of immigrants trying to do what they can to survive in a country foreign to them
- Mainland Chinese workers (unless they are rural farmers in fields, or objectified in type cast films) actually don't live like this
—this is just to start—please have a moment to reflect—it's the equivalent of casating hispanics in field dresses in Dior.
Continuing his disapproval for the images, Lim created a post on Instagram reprimanding the matter and putting Interview Magazine on blast "for commissioning such poor judgment and taste." He puts forward a set of questions: "What does this say about Asian culture? What stereotype are you perpetuating!?" The designer, in passionate fury, goes on to criticize Chanel for baring such a huge influence within Asian markets, but remaining silent regarding the editorial controversy. Clearly, Chanel bears a significant presence in it.
This is NOT OK! thank you @williamyan for calling this out- this is offensive and culturally insensitive. i'm so tired of these sorts of stereotype images being passed off as 'fashion' imagery 👉🏼 #bullshit and what a shame @interviewmag for commissioning such poor judgement and taste! what does this say about asian culture? what stereotype are you perpetuating !? it's 2017 , time to wake up👎🏼 and @chanelofficial – who i believe has such a huge business in Asia, perhaps should address this? #itstimetospeakup #notokay #culturalmockery #wtfdoesthissay #dontreducemycultureforyourentertainment
The photographer, in defense of the editorial's criticisms, justifies his images by calling them "poetry." He disclosed in a quote to Refinery 29 that, "It's kind of like poetry when you look at an image, you're going to put your own feelings into it and imply what you think you see in it… He [Lim] saw it as counterfeit bags whereas I saw it as an Asian women wearing a conical hat and carrying, you know, Chanel handbags to wherever she's got to get to." Unfortunately, the very clear symbols present throughout the photos have many thinking otherwise. How's this for a poem, Kidd? Roses are red, violets are blue, we're having a hard time believing you.

Mark & Zygi Wilf just finished up with a live chat at vikings.com.
Here are some highlights:
On Stadium Issues – We are working hard on a stadium solution. Over the next few months we are going to be working with the Governor and Legislative leaders. In economic times such as these, this is a tremendous opportunity for Minnesotans. This project will create new jobs and ensuing revenue.
In Response To Fans Who Hate Favre – I think it's a great rivalry. That's what makes the NFL so special – rivalries like the Vikings and Packers. With that said, our goal is to build a championship caliber team. Coach Childress, Rick Spielman and our entire football staff work hard every day to build a roster that will help accomplish that goal.
Pros & Cons of Being an NFL Owner – One of the great things about being involved in the NFL and being an owner is to experience first-hand the passion of Vikings fans and how much they appreciate the history of the franchise. It's also special to experience how passionate they are about winning a championship. Also, we've also learned that it takes a great deal of effort to build the type of teamwork necessary to create a championship team. While there are challenges overall, the experinece of being NFL owners has been a dream come true.
They refused to comment on the WilliamsWall legal troubles any further than saying that they hope it ends soon.
On whether another veteran wide out is in the works – We'll leave it to coach Childress and the football staff to comment on our football personnel. But we feel there's been an improvement at the WR position since we took ownership. With the addition of Percy Harvin, plus Bernard Berrian and some of the other players, we feel like improvements are being made every day.
I asked them if contract talks had started with Harvin or Loadholt yet – There is nothing new to report on those players.
On Antoine Winfield's Situation – Obviously, Antoine is a very important part of our defense. There is nothing new to report.
On how it feels to be a life-long Giants fan but owner of the Vikings – At first it was a little different. But at this point our blood runs Purple and Gold! In fact, beating the Giants to win the division last year was truly a special moment and one we'll never forget.
On whether Cris Carter could potentially become more involved with this team – We have great respect for Cris. We look forward to his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, hopefully very soon. We are working very hard to include alumni and special people like Cris Carter to give advice and his perspective when needed.
On Harvin's past issues – As you know, Coach Childress spent some time with Percy's family, and as part of our evaluation of players and of Percy, we spent a great deal of time with him. Our staff feels very confident that he's going to add a lot to our team both on and off the field.
After I wished them a happy 4th anniversary since purchasing the team – We appreciate that sentiment, and as I said earlier, it's been a great experience and we hope for a lot of Super Bowl championships in the years ahead.
On the performance of Brad Childress – Our team has improved every year under Brad. He has done a good job for us and we are all on the same page. We are excited about the year ahead and having him as our head coach.
Biggest hurdle this season – Our biggest challenge this season will be to first and foremost win our division. That's how you advance in this league and that will be our goal. We are very hopeful that we can achieve our goal and from there, get to the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl.
In the end, the Wilf's didn't offer up any real ground breaking information. Just the usual rhetoric. Oh well.

The son of the politically powerful Luis "Chavit" Singson, governor of Ilocos Sur in northern Philippines, pleaded guilty to drug offences in a Hong Kong court on Monday, a report from the AFP and quoted by Sin Chew Jit Poh said.
Congressman Ronald V. Singson admitted that he tried to smuggle cocaine in to the Chinese territory hiding the contraband substance in his underpants to avoid airport search measures.
The 42-year-old lawmaker admitted to have in possession two tablets of Nitrazepam--a narcotic agent--and 6.67 grams of cocaine (total value of coke: US$2,000) upon arrival at the HK airport on 11 July 2010.
The high-profile politician cum music promoter (Channel V) confided to drug trafficking that will make him face a maximum life imprisonment and a possible HK$5 million (US$640,000) fine.
Denying any plans to re-sell the drugs, Singson pleaded for leniency.
The second-term member of the House of Representatives testified to using drugs due to "political and business pressures" and relationship problems that made him suffer from depression.
The representative from Ilocos Sur admitted to sniffing coke everyday. He said he consumes four to five grams of the prohibited substance daily that cost him PhP25,000 (US$570) since 2004.
Congressman Ronald V. Singson said, "I apologise to the people of Hong Kong. This was a very big mistake and in the process, I have ruined my name and reputation, embarrassing my family and causing pain to my girlfriend."
The regretful Singson added, "I've never been more remorseful in my life. This is just the beginning of my problems. Not knowing my fate back home has cause me a great deal of pain."
And finally, the honorable Ilocos Sur representative pleaded to the HK court, "I ask you to find it in your heart to... sentence me with leniency. There's nothing more I want than to go on with my life."
The Hong Kong judge, in a well-attended courtroom, replied, "You are convicted on your own plea and admission of the facts."
The verdict will be heard on Tuesday.

Economies in most of the European Union's eastern wing exceeded expectations as consumer spending and resurgent investment kept growth ahead of the richer west.
Expansion in Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria surpassed economists' estimates, preliminary second-quarter data showed. Romania led the pack, with gross domestic product surging 5.9% from a year earlier. While Hungary was slowest at 3.2%, that still outpaced the euro area's 2.2%, news outlets reported.
The developing economies stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea have enjoyed a boom in the first half of 2017 as European Union aid funds resumed, exports rose and consumer spending strengthened thanks to higher wages and government handouts. While living standards in the region will continue catching up with the west, an acute labor shortage and factories running near full capacity may mean rapid expansion can't last.
"This golden period of strong economic growth in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will soon come to an end," Liam Carson, an economist at Capital Economics in London, said in an emailed note after the release on Wednesday. "Growth is likely to peak in the third quarter as higher inflation and interest rates—coupled with tighter fiscal policy—start to weigh on domestic demand."
"Strong second quarter GDP figures confirm that Polish monetary authorities are in a very comfortable position," analysts at mBank said. "Contrary to some CEE economies, like the Czech Republic and especially Romania, Poland is showing no signs of overheating at the moment."
Romania Shows Best GDP Growth
The best performer of CEE's economies was Romania with a 5.9% annual rate growth in the second quarter, beating market expectations. "We expect private consumption to have remained the main engine of GDP growth on the demand side. On the supply side, the economic growth should have been broad based, as gross valued added should have increased in all sectors of activity with the exception of constructions," noted Raiffeisen Bank's analyst Silvia Rosca, Xinhua reported.
Apart from consumption driver, strong industrial production played a key role in the robust growth of GDP, and services for companies also performed well, while retail sales benefited from the increase in disposable income, explained Eugen Sinca, chief economist at Banca Comerciala Romana (Romanian Commercial Bank).
Czech Revival
The Czech Republic was the fastest growing European Union economy in its quarter-on-quarter terms, with a 2.3% advance as compared with the first quarter of 2017.
"GDP growth rocketed in the second quarter, as the 4.5% annual growth in the second quarter, up from 3% in Q1, surpasses all of the market estimates," noted Jiri Polansky, analyst at Erste Group.
"The growth was influenced mainly by domestic demand, which was supported by the households consumption and private investment," added Polansky.
Poland's Labor Market
Poland's economic growth exceeded the market's expectations with a 3.9% annual rise of GDP, with private consumption broadly expected to remain the pillar of the growth, sustained by a strong labor market, said Katarzyna Rzentarzewska, financial analyst at Erste Group.
Other driver of the Polish economy could be the expected growth of investment into positive territory, as indicated by further acceleration of construction output growth, added the analyst.
Hungary's Slowdown
Hungary's economy expanded at a slower pace in the second quarter, as the annual GDP growth slowed to 3.2% from 4.2% in the previous quarter.
Market-based services were drivers of economic performance in the second quarter, while industry and agriculture contributed to the slowdown, noted the Hungarian statistic agency's short comment.
The slowdown of the Hungarian economy might be the result of a weaker performance of investments, noted Gergely Urmossy, financial analyst at Erste Bank Hungary.
Slovakia Meets Expectations
In the second quarter, Slovakia's economy accelerated, confirming the market's expectations. The annual growth rate was 3.3% in the second quarter, faster than the 3.1% rise in the previous one, fuelled by domestic demand, as consumption and investments slightly accelerated.
"Robust household consumption and Europe's economic recovery are behind the increasing economic growth in Slovakia this year," stressed the analyst of Unicredit Bank Slovakia Lubomir Korsnak.
Meanwhile, Cristian Popa, former vice president of the European Investment Bank, said, the region's robust growth is likely to continue, but the speed may decelerate and each country could face different challenges.

"If a class is overcrowded then you can take these classes; we're trying to balance [them] out," Grady said. "The only classes that are going to be offered next year are English III honors, English IV honors, [pre-calculus], AFM, American History I and II, Chemistry and Earth Science."
Grady thinks these classes will be beneficial to Rose students and teachers alike. Students can choose to take a class on their own time, while teachers will not have to teach classes filled to maximum capacity.
"I'm thinking we're going to have to wait until the schedules come back and see which classes are crowded," Grady said. "[Students] can [take the classes] after school, in school, before school, whenever they want to log on but the teachers will still be supervising."
The flexibility of the soon-to-be provided online classes sounds appealing to current students, especially those involved in sports and those expecting a strenuous junior year.
"That would help with baseball because I could log on when I needed to to do my other work," sophomore Matthew Burne said. "Since I have a really busy schedule that would help a lot."
Burne thinks that the online classes would not only be convenient and easier for him to work on, but thinks he could picture the material he needs to learn more clearly.
"I mean I would definitely give it a try because you know I could see it and kind of work it out because I could see the computer," Burne said.
Though Burne sees these online classes as a future opportunity, junior Ana Sebastian prefers to learn in the classroom rather than online.
"I wouldn't be interested in taking online classes next year because I know that I won't know the material 100% and I'll need guidance that an online class may not offer," Sebastian said.
Sebastian took pre-calculus this year and is currently in English III. She believes that taking these as online classes would have been much harder.
"Taking online [pre-calculus] and English III this year would not have been as helpful as taking the normal classes," Sebastian said. "[I think] it is better to have a teacher there in case of any questions or problems you may have pertaining to that class."
Either way, Grady believes that these classes will bring additional aid to Rose that students and teachers will both profit from.
"I think it will definitely help the teachers out and be a really good thing," Grady said.
PCSVA online classes will be available soon to students ready to accept the new task.

Mockingbird: A long-tailed thrushlike songbird with grayish plumage, found mainly in tropical America and noted for its mimicry of the calls and songs of other birds.
Over the past year or so, a role model of sorts has emerged for the transgender identified community; Janet Mock has pushed a new version of the transgender narrative. I read her blog and watched her video clip about the appropriation of the Hawaiian culture by Hollywood in the new movie, Aloha, with Bradley Cooper and Rachel Macadams. While I have not seen the movie, nor read much about it, I cannot comment on Mock's criticism of the film and its use of Hawaii as a setting. However, I found that she is disingenuous in her charge of "appropriation" of her indigenous culture, because I can see very strong appropriations in trans-women identified people of Western culture's female sex-role behaviour in dress, customs, and social expectations, and the language of Western feminist struggles against exploitation and subjugation. In other words, transsexuals like Mock have taken our beauty mythology and somehow mixed it with the rhetoric of liberation. If these men want our discarded notions of femininity, let them have them. If men want to use women's liberation rhetoric to liberate themselves, I am about to call a spade a spade.
What I have done in this piece is to use Mock's own writing style, sentence structure and message to highlight the insincerity of the trans-identified narrative. To view the blog, click here.
- So I have something to tell you: I'm addicted to bloggers…there is nothing more affirming to me at the end of a horrible day than to see ….a silly web blog. Every. Single. Time.
- So this week I was so ecstatic to see Janet Mock's So POPular! until I meditated on its title. She is ready to "pop" or is she just part of a pop culture that demeans the role of women in our culture…anyway, she is trying to state her cultural relevance…. or she wants to be like her pop idol, Janet Jackson? Who the hell cares…pop goes the weasel….
- To view the website and the video segment, click on this sentence.
- The web-show is based on Janet Mock's views on a variety of topics, but they all come down to her transmission of her "new" transsexual narrative. In her latest instalment she talks about how the movie industry has appropriated Hawaiian culture in a new romcom with Bradley Cooper and Rachel Macadams.
- Like RuPaul's Drag Race, "Janet Mock" is a Hollywood product where transgender is centered, females and female culture is appropriated, and native-born women are nowhere to be seen. And when I say native-born women, I am not talking about the people who claim that they feel female since birth, I mean women who are born with vaginas and ovaries. I am referring to Women, like my mother, grandmother, my sister and myself—the native indigenous women who have reliably birthed and populated the earth since, like forever, whose gametes predate the arrival of men who want to be women. Harry Benjamin arrived in North America, after failing to cure his impotence with Dr Freud's psychoanalysis, he turned against the "talking cure;" he promoted the surgeries that resulted in men purchasing women's body parts. These men are the colonists who have objectified women's sexual organs and wish to recreate themselves as women out of their own male tissue.
- Echoing what Bowlby might have said, I wrote on my blog "what is difficult about being a woman is that everyone has a female figure, called mother, in their psychological composition and attachment history, so everyone thinks that they know what it is like to be a woman." Womanhood lives vividly in people's minds as nothing more than a soft place to land….a space of escape, fantasy, and paradise. But womanhood is much more than a special place or an imagined image…just as female is more than just a term given to us at birth.
- The on-going appropriation and commercialisation of everything female only makes it clearer as to why it is inappropriate for those with no menstruation or ovulation to invoke the female experience, culture, language and body. This is uniquely true of the word "female"…a term that has been bastardised, deconstructed and diminished with its continual adoption by men who wish to change their gender.
- Most who invoke the term do not seem to know its true meaning. Female refers to the organism of the sex or sexual phase that normally produces eggs, normally meaning to have a vagina, a uterus, ovaries and enlarged breasts. When we perform coitus, the female of the couple, not the male, produces a baby. If two men lie together, etc. you get the drift. That's female.
- When Janet Mock uses the language of the marginalised, native-born female, whose body, culture and experience have been stripped from them by the politics of transgenderism, she contributes to a long tradition of reducing native-born women to her own limited imagination…and this is dangerous.
- To put my own words to a quote that Janet Mock uses to promote her ideas on appropriation:
- "Embedded in every male theft of femaleness is the denial of that theft, be it theft of role, culture, oppression, all the things that define womanhood, all that we need to struggle as a people. The exploitation and appropriation of Woman's identity and cultural identifiers, like subjugation, inequality and violence is in keeping with that millennial old traditions of misogyny and patriarchy. This sort of appropriation is possible, because women have been remade and deconstructed, turned into a strangely passive icon that represents entertainment for men who claim to be women."
- A message to those in Transland: If you are not native born female or intersex, you do not get to spread the message of womanhood because you own the product, the objects, the purchase of female sexual organs, because they are not yours naturally. You have objectified the female form even more deviously than the Playboy king has done. Our body is not yours for appropriation or profit, even as a Janet Mock self-promotion of realness.
- My target of this editorial is Transland, and not men who take the roles usually ascribed to women. There is an entire system, that more often than not, silences native-born women's voices, rather than include them. I am also aware that though I am centering on native-born women voices, I do not wish to erase the presence of men who naturally inhabit some of the culturally female stereotyped roles and expectations, but who have contributed to and have embraced feminism.

Maji Taiwanese Stir Fry Richmond | Taiwanese Tapas 麻吉台式熱炒
Richmond has not seen quality Taiwanese cuisine in a long time. Recently, a few has popped up here and there. First there was Uncle Lu 安可盧萬巒豬腳 and now Maji Taiwanese Stir Fry 麻吉台式熱炒 opened beside Nan Chuu G Men. Maji Taiwanese Restaurant is a casual fare with small dish tapas, drinks and late night. The decor at Maji reminds me of Lu Sang Taiwan 呂桑食堂 in Taipei. But of course, don't expect Yi-Lan 依蘭 cuisine!
Steamed Clams with Luffa: a simple light dish with Chinese okra and clams.
Deep Fried Mushrooms: Light breaded and flash fried. However it is not very well seasoned. I still prefer Jade Restaurant more.
Century Egg Tofu: A cold appetizer with firm tofu and layered with century egg and sprinkled with bonito flakes. This is one of my favorite Taiwanese cold appetizers.
Cod with Soybean: I always loved steamed fish. The fish is moist and tender. Because it has a natural sweet flavor, it is easily enhanced with some minced and stir fried soy beans and soy sauce of topping.
Chicken with Chili Sauce: Tender chicken strips with a sesame chili past sauce. The chicken isn't spicy and barely has any chili oil.
Although not every dish is very outstanding, but Maji Taiwanese is a good spot for a light fare, sharing amongst friends and late night hang out. Sometimes, you just don't want bubble tea.

Fu Hang Dou Jiang Taiwan 阜杭豆漿
Fu Hang Dou Jiang Taiwan 阜杭豆漿 is another 'best breakfast in Taiwan" places aside from 永和豆漿大王 Yong He Dou Jang Da Wang (which is also kiddie corner from this building). They have done an impressive job of attracting loyal foodies to queue long lines just for a bite of their infamous shao bing (flatbread breakfast sandwiches). We arrived early 7am and already the placed was filled with people. All other stores in this building were still closed and/or staring with envy. Remember to come early because this place closes at 10am.
When we arrived at Fu Hang Dou Jiang Taiwan, we thought the lines weren't too bad. Mistake. Apparently we entered from the other end and the line wraps around down the stairs to the street level and around the building.
Because line ups are so crazy, Fu Hang even provided a guide on how to line up.
Line ups can be boring. In order to keep patrons engaged and waiting, Fu Hang Dou Jiang Taiwan has provided some visuals on their production line. How they make their delicious shao bings, soy milk and fried Chinese donuts since 1958. Non-stop these chefs pour out batches of hot tranditonal Ninjing goodies: roasted flatbreads shao bing 燒餅 and fried Chinese donuts 油條 you tiao.
This place goes thru crates of eggs daily and people buys their breakfast by the box. No wonder there is such a long line up. This is a good sign that the food is really good.
Thick shao bing with egg 厚燒餅蛋加油條: Fu Hang is most famous for their thick flatbeard with egg 厚燒餅蛋加油條. The flatbread has been roasted to a fluffy, crunchy top and chewy center, added sesame for flavour. Lightly glazed with sugar on top. Inside is a pieace of you tiao and fried egg with scallions. 55NT is not only cheap but very satisfying.
Sticky Glutinous Rice Roll with Chinese donuts, shredded pork floss and preserved vegetables 糍飯糰: A lot of rice and not enough filling in the middle. Tastes very similar to 永和豆漿大王 Yong He Dou Jang Da Wang but slightly more savory.
Salty Soy Milk Soup 鹹豆漿 25NT: Fresh soy milk that had curdled with vinegar and added with you tiao bites, persevered vegetables, cilantro, scallions and chili oil. This is something you must order here.
Brown Rice Drink 米漿: If you are a fan of soy milk, than you must try their rice drink. Sweetly flavoured, it tastes more like a dessert of sesame porridge. Added with peanuts, this is a drink you can not get enough of.
Fried radish cake 蘿蔔燒餅: Shredded radish filled center with a deep fried bun and sprinkled with sesame. This bun is so fragrant it's intoxicating. The soft savory center with radish melts in your mouth.
Fu Hang Dou Jiang Taiwan is definitely worth the wait, but I often wonder how people rushing to work can afford to stand in line for 30+ mins.

Yu's Almond Tofu Taiwan 于記杏仁豆腐 | Silky Smooth Almond Milk Desserts and Shaved Ice
Yu's Almond Tofu Taiwan 于記杏仁豆腐 is known for their Almond Milk Desserts. All of Taiwan's delicacies and must try items. It is located just around the corner from our hotel CityInn Hotel Plus Ximending 新驛旅店西門捷運店. They are famous for their almond tofu, almond shaved ice and almond puff pastries. We went back several times during our stay in Taiwan. Actually we went back everyday. It was just that good.
The shop itself isn't too big. But it is clean and brightly light. There are several Yu's Almond Tofu Taiwan locations throughout Taipei, so I'm sure you will be able to locate one nearby. Or you can always visit their website: http://www.yustofu.com.tw.
Almond Tofu 杏仁豆腐 48NT: Store famous dessert. Almond tofu served chill with a packet of almond milk. The tofu is not like soft tofu pudding where it breaks aparts easily. There is rather dense, but impeccably smooth and silky. It is neither too sweet nor too bland. Everything about this almond tofu is incredibly delicious.
Almond Milk with Grass Jelly 仙草杏仁汁 55NT: Silky and creamy almond milk. No grits. Just smooth and rich. Grass jelly adds texture and makes this drink perfectly refreshing.
Hot Traditional Almond Tofu 熱杏仁豆腐 65 NT: Now this is not like the one above. This is like a soupy bowl of hot almond milk with almond tofu. The tofu has a bit of bite, but it is smooth. There are crushed almonds cooked inside the soup.
Whether you chose to nourish yourself with a bowl of cold almond tofu, a cup of almond milk, or even their traditional hot almond tofu soup. It is all naturally scented and gentle on your stomach. We're so glad we bought some to bring home as 'souvenirs'. Once you're well fed, head over to Ximending for some shopping and more eating.

Richmond Night Market, Richmond (River Rock) | Date Night
There are so many things to do in Vancouver when summer is here. One of the many is indulging in greasy food at the Night Market. This year there are two night markets in Richmond. One being the Richmond Night Market (by River Rock Casino); the other Summer Night Market (behind Home Depot/Bridgeport). The Richmond Night Market prides itself as the "originator" of night market in Richmond. Do you remember the glory days when it was held at Continental Mall (when it was no more than a small stripe in the South parking lot)? Do you remember when it moved to Lansdowne Mall when it occupied the parking lot near No.3 Road? Night Market brings back so many memories…
Admission to the Richmond Night Market is $1.50 (stamp cards – buy $10 and get 2 free bonus). Richmond Night Market Parking is free. Driving almost doesn't sound sane when combating down No. 3 Road traffic. Luckily there is the Canada Line Skytrain which takes it pretty much right to the front door.
Before any eating begins, we like to walk around the food stalls and see what everyone has to offer before diving in. I highly recommend doing so because what you see first may not always be the best. With so many stall offering similar food, there is bound to be one with a better deal, better quality, and better flavours! After all the eating is done, why not take a look at the vendors selling random nick nacks of socks, custom jewelry, cell phone cases, jelly bras and contact lens ( i know eh?).
Mega Chicken – a cross between Church's Chicken and Lee's Chicken
Squid Co. Next to Mega Chicken they have the same signage. Sister companies. Both fresh on the grill and deep fried were all SOLD OUT by the time we arrived. We go the Hot and Spicy and it was quite delicious. A nice kick with moist tender squid.
Other stalls also offering curry squid etc fries them in a big wok.
It's All About Grill – skewers, skewers and more skewers. AAA grilled steak , garlic chicken, etc. This place isn't too bad, both in meat quality and prices. One of the better ones.
Chef James Xin Xiang Man BBQ – his fan blew the pungent flavours or lamb skewers in our face and it was hard not to try it. It was alright… The beef on the other hand was mushy and after two bites I threw it away. I'm not really interested in eating bad meat. I see the need to draw in crowds.
Mango. The name saids it all. Variations of mango fruit juice. What is not to love when they use fresh mango meats and other fresh fruits and blends it together for your. This place was less syrupy than some other stalls I've tried such as Tea Paradise (1st row of food stalls closest to entrance). But sometimes I do wonder how fresh are there "Fresh Fruits" after its been left in the open for hours? User discretion is advised.
Rice Burger Shop – Our friends that has a stall here highly recommended this. Rice patties used as buns with grilled meat. We were too stuffed by now to try anything else. Next time.
Rotato – Tornado Potatoe Chips with a variety of flavour sprinkles. The line for this was CRAZY. Except a good 30 min wait or come early.
You see some variety in cuisines here also:
Traditional Candy Coated Fruits.
Bratwurst and Roasted Pork Hocks.
Rotisserie Chicken
Deep Fried Cheesecake something you would find at PNE.
Cupcakes. and even Macarons.
