Holy crap this is a lot of VAG! It's only my second time to the East Coast, ever. The first time was chasing chefs around NYC and strange electronic music parties; long story… However, getting the chance to check out the Euro scene at Waterfest was just as exciting.
We flew in late Friday before the show, ate at Wawa, met the after-hours crowd and pulled into an eerily quiet hotel parking lot filled with VWs, tire smoke and one very confused cop.
The next day, we arrived at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ for Waterfest. If you haven't been, the show is spread over two days so you can really take in this massive event and not be limited to the show car area, drag event, autocross or vendor section.
As we walked through the vendors, it was to the soundtrack of cars qualifying for the drag event. Despite the distraction, we got to see lots of new parts like the new BBS RS wheels, Forge Motorsport's big-brake kit and even its TT RS, which they are planning to prepare for eurotuner GP later this year.
Of course, the gorilla at Unitronic's booth was a surprise! The crowd seemed to enjoy his crazy antics almost as much as the hot French-Canadian Uni-girls.
All the vendors we spoke to were thrilled with the event. Even if the crowd didn't seem as huge, most had a record-setting year.
The number and quality of built project cars was jaw dropping. Each of the rows in the show area was filled with the finest examples, such as David Burke's two-month build on his '77 Rabbit with Callaway turbo, or Paige Blaze's creative beach scene for her Mk4 GTI, and Tom Connor's orange Mk4 Golf VR6 with a shaved bay and chromed CCWs.
Inevitably, there were so many cool cars it was almost impossible to make our selection for these pages. Sadly, we had to cut down our 1000 photos to a more manageable number for the magazine. However, we've added a gallery to eurotuner.com with a bigger selection of the cars that didn't quite make it.
So sit back and enjoy our Waterfest show recap. Remember to wash your hands after flushing and don't let your legs go numb if you're on there too long!
Drag Racing
As always, Waterfest held its drag racing contests, dividing the entrants into four categories with Bracket 1 for cars running 16.5sec quarters or slower. Bracket 2 was for 14.50-16.49sec, with Bracket 3 for cars that could run 14.49sec or quicker. Each car must declare a dial-in time and try to finish closest to it without going faster.
Then there's the Outlaw class, with no limit on mods, tires or times, where the fastest car wins an elimination battle. The Bracket races take place on both days, while the Outlaws were limited to Sunday only.
On Saturday, Bracket 1 was won by Alexander Sokolov in his '01 Audi A4 wagon with a time of 17.624sec at 80.05mph on a 17.65sec dial-in (DI). He beat Jesse Farquhar in round two to win the final against Wayne Farquhar; a feat he'd repeat on Sunday with a 17.341 at 80.78 on a 17.3sec DI.
The Farquhars are regular competitors and regular winners in this event, so must have been gutted to lose by such small margins on both days.
Bracket 2 was the most popular, with 21 cars competing on Sunday. On Saturday, the final was won by Bryan Diffey in his '05 Audi A4 with a time of 15.298sec at 91.08mph after Nick Anselmo fouled out in his '02 Beetle.
Sunday again saw Nick in the final but this time he was beaten fair 'n square by John Hudak in his '85 Jetta, who ran 15.332sec at 92.63mph on a 15.2sec DI.
Bracket 3 was won by Nick White on Saturday in his '92 Corrado with a 14.605sec ET at 98.26mph on a 14.4sec DI. While Sunday's race went to Robert Hagans in his '04 R32 by the narrowest of margins. He ran 14.129 ET on a 14sec DI, emerging victorious over Anthony Manger who recorded 12.181sec on a 12.05sec dial-in.
Finally, the Outlaw class made an appearance on Sunday to make some noise and scare the children. With a time of 10.368sec at 146.59mph, Tim Mullen set the fastest time in the first round and let his competition know he meant business. He'd won the Spring Show & Go drag racing (et 8/11) at Raceway Park a few months earlier, and his '94 GTI VR6 turbo was looking unbeatable.
The only other car in the 10s was Todd Pavics, who ran 10.594 at 137.57 in his '97 Mk3 Golf 16v turbo. Predictably, both men advanced to the second round, winning their respective races with more 10sec runs, Todd recording the fastest time of the day with a 10.359sec at 146.59mph.
This put Tim and Todd in the final together, where the two men would go for gold. However, Mullen's luck wouldn't last and his car broke, bringing what looked like a thrilling final to an anti-climax. And with Pavics crossing the line in 10.361sec at 148.18mph, there would have been nothing to separate the two cars if both had been healthy.
Hopefully, the two of them can renew this healthy rivalry at the Fall Show & Go drag racing event…

Current Law Students / Re: Tape Recorder« on: July 09, 2003, 10:05:55 AM »
Hell, if you've sat through the class once, it's not going to be any more interesting a second time listening to it. I think it's a complete waste of time to be recording classes in law school...time that could be spent drinking. Or watching TV. Okay, or studying. Thing is, a recorded class is only going to do you any good if you actually miss it. And still, you can get the notes from a few classmates to pick up all the key material from that class.

The Faint will release Doom Abuse, their sixth studio album, Tuesday, April 8th on SQE Music.
The 12-song album is now available for pre-order via iTunes or SQEMusic.com. Those who pre-order the album on iTunes will get a song right away and then a new song each week leading up to the April 8th release date, singer Todd Fink says.
Fink says the idea behind the song-a-week concept is tied to the whole idea of a rush release of the album. There will be just more than a month between the announcement of the new album and it's actual release.
The album will also be available on CD and vinyl. Vinyl enthusiasts should take special note, as the band will offer a limited edition gatefold double-LP version, which includes the synth-heavy indie dance-rock band's previous white-label tour-only EP, released in 2012.
SQE Music's U.S. office, located in Los Angeles, is ran by Zane Smythe, who previously served as the Faint's assistant manager. SQE Music is also home to indie-minded acts including Johnathan Rice, CSS and Desert Noises.
Fink says the SQE label will be the band's home for the forseeable future, though he hasn't ruled out doing future projects or releases with Saddle Creek Records, which released the Faint's first four albums.
Both Pitchfork and NPR premiered songs off the new album, while the band also unveiled a new video for the album's lead-off track, "Help in the Head". Tim Nackashi directed the clip for the song.
The band tracked the record in their band-owned space, Enamel Studios, and mixed with Mike Mogis at ARC Studios here in Omaha. Both processes happened simultaneously, with Mogis basically mixing the previous day's recordings while the band worked on new material across town.
Fink says it was a pretty crazy and busy time, but the rushed environment was by design.
"We wanted to be in this state of emergency," he says.

Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo, Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology & Liver Diseases), Anatomy & Structural Biology, and Developmental & Molecular Biology, will be presented the sixth annual Marshall S. Horwitz, M.D. Faculty Prize for Research Excellence on Monday, January 30, 2012.
Dr. Cuervo is co-director (with Dr. Nir Barzilai) of the Einstein Institute for Aging Research, and a member of the Einstein Liver Research Center and Cancer Center. In 2001 she started her laboratory at Einstein, where she studies the role of protein-degradation in aging and age-related disorders, with emphasis in neurodegeneration.
Dr. Cuervo's group is interested in understanding how altered proteins can be eliminated from the cells. Her group has linked alterations in lysosomal protein degradation with different neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease. They have also proven that restoration of normal lysosomal function prevents accumulation of damaged proteins with age, demonstrating this way that removal of these toxic products is possible.
Dr. Cuervo is considered a leader in the field of protein degradation in relation to biology of aging and has been invited to present her work in numerous national and international institutions, including the Robert R. Konh Memorial Lecture, the NIH Director's Lecture, the Roy Walford Endowed Lecture and the Cherkin Award lecture on Gerontolgy. She has organized and chaired international conferences on protein degradation and on aging, belongs to the editorial board of scientific journals in this topic, and is currently co-editor-in-chief of Aging Cell and associate editor of Autophagy.
Dr. Cuervo has served in NIH advisory panels, special emphasis panels, and study sections, and has been recently elected member of the NIA Scientific Council. She has received the 2005 P. Benson Award in Cell Biology, the 2005/8 Keith Porter Fellow in Cell Biology, the 2006 Nathan Shock Memorial Lecture Award, the 2008 Vincent Cristofalo Rising Start in Aging Award and the 2010 Bennett J. Cohen Award in Aging Biology.
Following the award presentation Dr. Cuervo will present her research, "Selective Autophagy: Cleaning with a New Spin."
The Horwitz prize was established in memory of Dr. Marshall Horwitz, a beloved member of the Einstein faculty who died in 2005.
The award ceremony and lecture will take place at 4 p.m. in Robbins Auditorium, and will be followed by a reception. All members of the Einstein community are invited to attend.

Having landed on what we felt was the best combination of beans, blend, and roast level, we were finally ready to test our espresso program in one of our restaurants.
Handcrafted and made to order
The newly-opened Waterfront Eat'n Park in Homestead, PA, was our testing ground and the first Eat'n Park restaurant to offer espresso beverages. Guests loved it, and our servers were just as excited. In fact, one server's experimentation with combining espresso with our classic hand-dipped milkshakes resulted in the creation of the incredible Vanilla Latte milkshake, which then led to further expansion of our espresso offerings.
When we were ready to roll out the new beverages to our other locations, we didn't take the task lightly. All of our servers and managers went through thorough three-day training on how to create our made-to-order espresso drinks. Our team of trainers, nicknamed the "Bean Team", traveled to every Eat'n Park location to ensure that each and every Eat'n Park server and manager knew how to craft a delicious espresso beverage, be it a latte, cappuccino, or espresso shot.
As you may have guessed, we take a lot of pride in the quality of our espresso drinks. We offer guests their choice of 1%, skim, or soy milk, with every drink made to order from freshly roasted beans. Our espresso rivals any you'd find in a specialty coffeehouse, at a better value!
If you haven't tried it yet...
For the uninitiated, the best way (at least in my opinion) to try an espresso without having a straight shot (which for some people is overwhelming) is to try an "Americano". An Americano is a shot of espresso combined with a cup of hot water. When the weather is warm, I really love an iced Americano. Cool and refreshing, and WAY better than any iced coffee you can get anywhere.
But don't let my personal taste be too much of an influence. We have a great selection of espresso drinks to suit almost any taste – just click here to see our online espresso menu. Whether you like yours hot, iced, or mixed into a milkshake, you'll find something you'll love at Eat'n Park. It's just another reason that we're the Place for Smiles!
P.S. Try our new Egg Nog Chai Tea, on the house. I know you're going to love it! Click here to print your coupon, good through 12/24/2009. Happy Holidays!

The fight over a November ballot initiative to suspend California's global warming law has escalated sharply with the Koch brothers, oil billionaires and "tea party" backers, making a million-dollar entry into the fray.
The contribution to the campaign for Proposition 23 came Thursday from a subsidiary of Wichita, Kan.-based Koch Industries, the nation's second-largest private company (after the agribusiness giant Cargill). A spokeswoman for the subsidiary, Flint Hills Resources, said the company "may consider additional support." The Kochs' company has estimated annual revenues of $100 billion, owns refineries in Alaska, Texas and Minnesota, and controls about 4,000 miles of oil pipelines.
California's global warming law, known as AB 32, is designed to cut the state's emission of greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by the end of this decade. A significant chunk of the reductions would come through regulations aimed at fostering alternative fuels and generating electricity from solar, wind and other alternative energy sources.
The ballot measure would suspend the global warming law until the state's unemployment rate dropped below 5.5%, a level achieved only three times in the last three decades. Until now, the measure has been largely financed by two Texas-based companies, Valero Energy Corp. and Tesoro Corp., which operate refineries in Wilmington and in Northern California.

According to USDA, Texas cotton growers will harvest only 4.2 million of the 6.4 million acres they planted this year, indicating an abandonment of around 35 percent. USDA still expects a total U.S. crop of 20.4 million bales. U.S. growers are also expected to produce smaller crops for rice, corn and soybeans this year, due to a number of environmental stresses and/or fewer acres.
USDA's first survey-based cotton production estimate of 20.4 million bales is based on an average yield projection of 765 pounds, down 66 pounds from 2005.
Due to severe drought, forecast harvested acres for Texas are now 4.2 million acres, down 2.2 million acres from the 6.4 million planted acres USDA estimated in June. Expected average yield for Texas has declined from 723 pounds to 583 pounds, while production is forecast to slip from last year's record 8.44 million bales to 5.1 million bales.
Rain has been plentiful in many areas of the northern Mid-South, however. Missouri and Tennessee producers are expecting record high production at 1.03 million and 1.25 million bales, respectively.
American-Pima production is forecast at a record-high 893,000 bales, up 42 percent from last year.
Producers expect to harvest 12.8 million acres of all cotton and 12.5 million acres of upland cotton, down 7 percent and 8 percent, respectively. American-Pima harvested area is expected to total a record high 333,000 acres, up 24 percent from 2005.
Estimated exports were lowered 2 percent due to lower supplies and increased foreign competition. Ending stocks were reduced to 4.7 million bales, down 200,000 bales from last month.
World cotton ending stocks were raised nearly 2 percent from last month. India's production is up 1 million bales from last month, as favorable monsoon rains are expected to boost both area and yield. Higher exports are expected from India and Greece.
The U.S. estimate for 2005-06 included record exports of 17.55 million bales, an increase of 550,000 bales from last month due to larger than anticipated exports in the final weeks of the marketing year.

School Stories
From Wiki
Revision as of 21:01, 20 October 2008 by Michellebe (Talk | contribs)
- Sahara Jones wants to be a writer. She is embarrassed by the time she spent in special education and having to repeat fifth grade. Because she is afraid of what others will think, Sahara hides her writing. Her new teacher Miss Pointy encourages everyone in the class to keep a journal. Miss Pointy keeps the fifth grade in line and encourages the students to think differently. The fifth grade class becomes a community in a way Sahara never experienced at school before. With the support of Miss Pointy and her classmates, Sahara just might be able to believe in herself.
- Greg Kenton loved money, and he was good at earning it and saving it. One day near the end of fifth grade, Greg made a big discovery. All the kids at school carried quarters with them: quarters for ice cream and cookies in the cafeteria, quarters for sparkly pencils at the school store, quarters for the juice machine. When he multiplied all those quarters by all those kids, Greg realized just how much money could be made at school. Greg worked hard to start his own comic book business. As soon as it was up and running, Greg had competition. Maura Shaw, his rival from across the street, started selling a comic book of her own. Would there be enough quarters in school for both of them to make money? And more importantly, how long could the comic book business continue before the principal gets involved?
- "Can I get back to you on that?" is Joey Pigza's answer for almost every question people ask him when he's wired. And Joey is wired a lot. The fact that his mom showed up in his life again after leaving Joey with his Grandma isn't helping. Joey tries hard to act normal. Part of his brain knows what he should and should not do, but the other part, the wired part, just can't sit still and do the right thing. Sometimes Joey's meds help him follow the rules, but other days things get away from him. Even though he's breaking the rules, the results are often hilarious. But if Joey keeps acting up, he's going to be sent to a special school. Can Joey figure out a way to keep himself under control?

The MGT girls! Photo by Stephanie Nitsch
What sounds better? Shredding your resort with the same old crew doing the same old moves, or getting out to awesome locations all over the world with a group of girls and incredible professional coaches and learning new tricks! I don't know about you, but I pick number two. If you agree, check out this guide to girls snowboard camps. Camps run in both the winter and the summer. This guide is for you, girl! So get out there, have some fun, learn new stuff and get inspired!

The untamed terrain at J-Hole becomes a playground of possibilities for discovering a new riding style. This four-day camp takes you beyond lift lines and into the steep and deep, where you'll learn that 'intimidation' is just a useless word and 'off-piste' is your new favorite saying. Every day finishes with apres-riding activities and a dinner party.

A's Agree to Terms with Four Players on One-Year Contracts
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland A's agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Luke Gregerson, infielders Jed Lowrie and Brandon Moss and outfielder Craig Gentry on one-year contracts for the 2014 season, the club announced today. The only arbitration eligible player remaining on the A's roster is outfielder Josh Reddick.
Gregerson was acquired from San Diego on Dec. 3 for Seth Smith after going 6-8 with four saves and a 2.71 ERA in a team-leading 73 games. He topped 70 games for the fourth time in the last five years and has appeared in at least 61 games in each of his five seasons. The 29-year-old right-hander allowed a .203 opponents batting average, including .192 against right-handed hitters. Gregerson logged a 2.88 ERA in 363 relief appearances in five seasons with the Padres and his games pitched are the most in the majors since 2009.
Lowrie batted .290 with 45 doubles, two triples, 15 home runs and 75 RBI in 154 games in his first season with Oakland last year. He set an Athletics record for doubles by a switch hitter and an Oakland record for hits by a switch-hitter (175), while tying the Oakland record for batting average by a switch-hitter. The 45 doubles ranked second in the American League, second in Oakland history and tied for seventh in Athletics history. The 29-year old switch hitter posted career highs in batting average, on-base percentage (.344), games, at bats (603), runs (80), hits, doubles, RBI, walks (50) and extra base hits (62).
Moss led the A's with 30 home runs and finished second with 87 RBI last year despite spending most of the season in a platoon. He made 106 of his 115 starts against right-handed pitching and started just three games against a left-handed pitcher after May 12. The 30-year old ranked fourth in the American League in fewest at bats per home run (14.9), fifth in fewest at bats per RBI (5.1), sixth in slugging percentage (.522) and tied for eighth in home runs. Moss has a .269 average with 51 home runs and 139 RBI in 229 games in two seasons with the A's.
Gentry was acquired from Texas in a four-player trade on Dec. 3 after batting .280 with two home runs and 22 RBI in 106 games. He had career highs in at bats (246), runs (39), triples (4), home runs, walks (29), on-base percentage (.373), stolen bases (24) and extra base hits (18) and matched his best in doubles (12). The 30-year old was successful in 24-of-27 (88.9%) stolen base attempts, which was the third best percentage in the American League, and is now 56-for-66 (84.5%) in his career. Gentry hit .338 with a .428 on-base percentage in 55 games after the All-Star Break.

REAL NAME: Franklin Roberto Lashley
6' 3", 250 pounds
BORN:July 16, 1976 in Colorado Springs, Colorado
NICKNAMES: The Real Deal, Blaster Lashley, Bobby Lashley, Lashley
WWE's newest powerhouse Lashley, born Franklin Roberto Lashley, has an extensive amateur background, having wrestled while attending Missouri Valley College. After a fourth place finish in 1995, Lashley would win national championships from 1996-1998. In 1997 and 1998, Lashley weighed in at 177 pounds and was the NAIA National Wrestling Champion. After college, Lashley joined the United States Army and continued his wrestling career while in uniform, becoming a two-time Armed Forces Champion and won a silver medal in the 2002 CISM World Championships, in which he competed against the best military wrestlers in the world. In 2003, representing the United States Army, he placed third in the Senior Men's Freestyle World Team Trials in the 96 kg weight division.
In Ohio Valley, Blaster Lashley clashed with the likes of Ken Doane and Robert Fury. By May 2005 however, he was on the road with the Raw roster, taking on Val Venis. He also worked dark matches before Raw and Smackdown, taking on Trevor Rhodes (later Trevor Murdoch), Johnny Jeter and, teaming with C.M. Punk, took on Rhodes and Lance Cade during the summer of 2005.
But Lashley's time in OVW wasn't finished yet as he returned in May to compete in the Ohio Valley Television title tournament. About the same time, he formed an alliance with Ken Doane, Mike Mondo and Kenny Bolin that came to be known as Bolin Services. On July 1st, they competed against Jim Cornette's Team OVW (which included Nick Dinsmore, Elijah Burke and Brent Albright). Lashley and Mondo also lost a "Coward Waves the Flag" match against Elijah Burke and Deuce Shade (who had Tommy Dreamer in their corner).
Lashley eventually grew disenchanted with Bolin Services, refusing to help Doane, who was OVW TV Champion, cheat to retain his title against Nick Nemeth. On September 28th, just five days after he debuted on Smackdown (with a victory over Simon Dean), Lashley fired Kenny Bolin. During a match against the Boogeyman several weeks later, Bolin and Dean Visk attacked Lashley, but Brent Albright made the save. Lashley continued to battle Bolin Services even as he made his initial appearances on Smackdown.
Lashley's initial appearances on Smackdown, meanwhile, made quite an impression. After his victory over Dean, Lashley took on several enhancement talent-level wrestlers before defeating Dean at No Mercy, forcing the fitness guru to eat 20 cheeseburgers afterwards.
Lashley made such an impact on Smackdown that, just weeks after his debut, he was part of the Smackdown team at the 2005 Survivor Series. After impressing the crowd with his power against Team Raw, Lashley was the first elimination, with Shawn Michaels getting the pinfall after a Kane chokeslam.
Back on Smackdown, Lashley feuded with Paul Burchill and William Regal (leading to a Lashley victory in a handicap match at Armaggedon, JBL (who defeated Lashley at No Way Out and is currently battling Fit Finlay, who cost Lashley the match at No Way Out.
Lashley was the surprise opponent of U.S. champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield on the May 23, 2006 episode of SmackDown! and won the title after a spear.
Finlay would use his shillelagh to steal the gold from Lashley on July 11 and after that, Lashley was in the mid-card on the Friday night show.
On the Oct. 27 SmackDown, Lashley and Tatanka were defeated by William Regal and Dave Taylor and Tatanka attacked Lashley on the floor after the match. A feud seemed imminent, but that never came to fruition.
In the United Kingdom for the Nov. 14 ECW show on SciFi, Hardcore Holly was about to sign the open contract to be the sixth and final member of the Extreme Elimination Chamber match at December To Dismember pay-per-view, but Lashley attacked Holly in the back, speared then-ECW champion The Big Show in the aisle and signed the contract.
Three weeks later on Dec. 3, Lashley and Big Show were the final two remaining in the Chamber match and Lashley won the title after yet another spear.
Lashley successfully defended the belt two nights later against Show, winning with a bodyslam.
Shortly thereafter, Lashley was put in a title program with Test and won via countout at the 2007 Royal Rumble.
Lashley was named as Donald Trump�s representative in the Hair vs. Hair match at WrestleMania 23 in Detroit. Lashley battled Vince McMahon�s rep, Umaga, and the loser of the match (McMahon) had his head shaved.
At Backlash, Lashley's ECW title reign ended when Umaga, Vince and Shane McMahon beat him in a handicap match where the man who made the pin (Vince) would be champ. Lashley regained the belt at One Night Stand, but had to relinquish the strap eight days later on Raw when he was drafted to the Monday night program.
Lashley was then put into a short program with WWE champion John Cena that culminated with Cena pinning Lashley at The Great American Bash on July 22.
It now appears that Lashley will start a feud with Carlito after Lashley thrashed Carlito on the July 23 Raw after having apple spit on him.
However, Lashley, who had been wrestling injured, was put on the shelf with a shoulder injury by Mr. Kennedy in a match on Raw just a week later. Dr. James Andrews performed surgery on Lashley's shoulder, but Lashley never returned to WWE, being released from his contract in early February 2008. That release came just over a week after Lashley said on his website that he'd asked to be taken off WWE's payroll. Lashley vaguely claimed "circumstances which are out of my control left me no decision but to leave the WWE."
It looked as though Lashley would follow in Brock Lesnar's footsteps when he announced he was training full-time to enter the mixed martial arts arena. He won both his fights, beating Joshua Franklin by TKO early in the first round in December 2008, and in March 2009, he defeated Jason Guida by unanimous decision. The latter fight might have been more notable for Ken Shamrock (Lashley's original opponent) testing postive for steroids and being replaced by Guida than the actual match itself.
Lashley surprised just about everybody when he made his return to pro wrestling, appearing at TNA's Lockdown. After a Lethal Lockdown Match between Team Angle and Team Jarrett, the lights went out and when they came back on, Lashley was standing on the entranceway. He pointed to the ring to a smiling Kurt Angle and worried looking Jeff Jarrett.

Spring is here! ... and yes, I'm back again.
You probably don't remember me anymore because I am the biggest slacker of all time, but I am hoping to correct that. I am making my resolution now, it's not to late to do so, is it? I will try to post as often as possible from here on. Cross my heart and... nope, I don't want to die, not yet anyway! Haha!
Well, spring in Miami is totally different than most cities in the US. For one, we don't really have an obvious change of seasons here as you probably know. It is hot here most of the time! Except for a few trees flowering during this time of the year, there's really not much difference from summer. Temperature is already in the 80's!
Which brings me to my post today. Halo-halo.
Halo-halo is the Filipino word for "mix". It is a traditional summer frozen dessert in the Philippines. For some reason, I have been craving for it these past few days... I blame it on the heat.
Halo-halo is very quick to prepare. It is really nothing but a melange of different fresh tropical fruits, cooked sweet beans with crushed ice, milk and sugar. It's a poor man's version of a shake, if I may say so.
But it's delightfully refreshing.
Above are the halo-halo that Mr. J and I enjoyed while lounging by the pool in a beach resort in Cebu, Philippines. The halo-halo was served in a young coconut shell which makes for a great presentation, and was perfect for Mr. J who loves coconut. As you can see, ice cream and chocolate fudge are added to the mix which made this particular halo-halo richer... and yummier! The whole mix was topped with a few corn flakes. Corn flakes??? Yes, the breakfast cereal! Sounds weird, huh? Maybe, but the flakes totally work, adding a crunchy texture to the whole concoction. Perfect.
You don't believe me? Well, I dare you. Try it and see for yourself.
You'll thank me later.
Your choice of the following ingredients ( few or all of them)
1 ripe large banana
2 ripe or 1 canned mangoes
1 cup firm gelatin set into gel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup canned ripe jackfruit
1/2 cup sweet corn
1/4 cup sweetened beans, drained*
1 cup kaong or nata de cocos, drained*
1 cup young shredded coconut, fresh or canned
1 cup cooked sweet yams or (ube halaya) glutinous purple yam, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cup shaved ice
2 cup evap milk
Optional toppings:
4 scoops of favorite ice cream
drizzle of chocolate fudge
a small sliver or two of caramel (leche) flan
1/2 cup chopped peanuts, rice krispies, or corn flakes
1. To assemble - layer your fruits in a bowl or tall glass.
2. Top with crushed ice.
3. Pour milk over ice.
4. Then top with topping of choice.
5. Garnish with corn flakes and maraschino cherries.
*Available in Asian markets / groceries.

This looks so good! And really quick and easy. Do you know where I can find jackfruit? I've been seeing things about that recently. I've never heard of it before and I'm very curious!

Hi Nancy.. thank you for dropping by my blog. Jackfruit is not so common here in the US, but you may find it in some Asian groceries. You can either get them already in bottle (preserved) or fresh.
While I love eating the fruit fresh, for Halo-halo though, I much prefer the preserved form.
Let me know if you find jackfruit and how you like it :o)

I have run into a problem while configuring my apache webserver on linux.. I can not seem to get my webserver past my firewall. With the help of those on irc.antionline.com, I created these rules for iptables, but they did not work.
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i ppp0 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT # for www
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p TCP -s 0/0 --dport 80
-j LOG --log-prefix "IPTABLES www IN"
So just curious if my webserver would work at all, I decided to turn off bastille-linux and iptables using:
service bastille-firewall stop
service iptables stop
After this, many of my ports were opened up however port 80 wasnt one of them and remained stealth according to the port scan at grc.com. Not wanting to be vulnerable for too long I turned all of my firewalls back on and scanned again. All of my ports remained stealth except port 443. While trying to protect that port I added a rule to iptables that looks like this:
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -p UDP --dport 443
-j REJECT
This did not work however. I was able to get the response that this port was closed by turning off apache, but this would be counterproductive. Am I missing something here. Im not embarrassed to be made a fool of as long as I find an answer. What is blocking port 80? Why cant I protect port 443? All help is appreciated.

indeliblethink needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 74 designs submitted by 37 freelance designers.
Writer seeks identity for blog that will consider creative ways of communicating messages, with branding, media, methods as typical topics. The logo should be clever and fun, but not to the extent that it is unprofessional.
Indelible Think
I've done some initial work of my own on a logo, sketching variations on a fountain pen nib. The design need not be so literal in playing on "indelible ink" as the origin of the name. I've primarily worked as a computer programmer for the last decade but have always been involved in a writing project of a sort. In the last few months, I've shifted focus from programming to writing and am looking for an outlet to share what I know and what I've learned.
- Color is primarily at the discretion of the designer, though I'm likely to reject a design that favors pink. (Sorry, I'm a guy.)
- I have no tagline as yet and I'm not sure I want or need one.
- As for style, I want something that will work well in 2-color and black/white. However, don't limit yourself to just 2-color or black/white for your proposed logo design.
- Though not imperative, I'd also like a logomark that lends itself well as an end sign (also known as end mark, a symbol used at the end of a story or post).
- I'm not looking for an intricate or elaborate design. The logo is for the Web as a medium and it should scale well. I'll consider the blog's layout and design on finalizing the logo.

A Fairfield man fell asleep during his own court case, where he was given a suspended sentence for threatening behaviour.
Stuart Hodgson was convicted following trial of being abusive towards a care worker, who had parked near his address on Kinder Way, in Buxton, on January 23.
At High Peak Magistrates' Court last Wednesday, the 53-year-old appeared to drift in and out of consciousness during the proceedings, sometimes snoring.
Kieran Henry, defending, told the bench his client's drowsiness was due to his medication and repeatedly prodded him in a bid to keep him awake.
The court heard that Hodgson, 53, approached victim Deborah Booth in her car at about 9.15pm and launched a tirade of abuse, swearing and shouting: "I'm sick of this blocking the road."
He opened the car door and put his fist up, and grabbed her hand when she attempted to start the engine.
Eventually he stepped back and she drove away with the car door open.
Hodgson was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, given a six-month curfew and was ordered to pay £100 compensation, an £80 victim surcharge and £120 costs.

Vancouver Banh Mi Roundup
This banh mi roundup took place on May 18th, 2009. Shout-out to fellow food blogger Justin from Justcook nyc who recently conducted his own banh mi roundup (in NYC and in San Francisco). His fun blog post reminded me that I needed to get my act together and finally blog about my own Vancouver banh mi experience.
Banh mi (aka Vietnamese sandwich) is one of my must-have items whenever I'm in Vancouver. Prior to this trip, I'd only tried banh mi from one place in Vancouver, Ba Le. Their sandwiches have always been good and cheap, so I never felt the need to go anywhere else. So what changed? Well, since I started blogging a few months ago, I've been following Vancouver foodie discussions and noticed a few Vietnamese sandwich shops being touted as being better than Ba Le. And just like all of my food obsessions, I just HAD to see which one was best.
So what makes a good banh mi? First of all, the bread (French baguette) should be very fresh. The yummy fillings, consisting of Vietnamese cold cuts, pickled carrots/daikon, fresh cilantro, and a generous schmear of pâté and mayo, should be well balanced and work in harmony with each other.
I recruited hubby Kris and our good friends Joyce and Brian to help 'judge'.
All sandwich prices are stated in Canadian dollars and are quoted as of May 18th, 2009, although I highly doubt any of the prices have changed - Ba Le's prices have only gone up a dollar or so since I was in high school (a looooong time ago). And we were all impressed that every sandwich we tried that day was made with really fresh bread (the secret is to go early when the bread has been freshly baked).
Au Petit Cafe Special sandwich (or No. 1) $4.50
Au Petit Café's banh mi have become so popular that they usually sellout by early afternoon. Best to call ahead and reserve a sandwich (don't be like me, I didn't call ahead and then had to wait for 25 minutes in a busy restaurant). This was the most expensive sandwich of the bunch so I had high expectations. I was a little concerned that their 'special' sandwich (or 'No.1' - homemade ham, house meatball, vegetables and hot peppers) didn't contain one of my favorite banh mi ingredients, pâté. But the house meatballs were so moist and flavorful I didn't even miss the pâté. High scores across the board, except for Hubby Kris who said he was "starting the scores low so he could leave room for the others" (what is this, a figure skating competition?)

Tel: 604-873-3328

(closed on Wednesdays)
Ba Le (Kingsway location) Special sandwich $2.75
This was the type of banh mi I was was used to eating – traditional Vietnamese cold cuts, a good balance of pickled veggies vs meat, and the perfect amount of mayo and pâté. Overall, a solid sandwich (Ba Le has never let me down).

Vancouver, BC V5T 3K6
(604) 875-6322
Kingsway Deli Vietnamese Sub Special (Banh Mi Dac Biet) $3.00
This sandwich was impressive to look at, piled high with meat, pickled veggies and cilantro. Joyce liked the pâté while Brian thought it was way too salty. Hubby and I thought the overall flavor was bland and boring (but I would still eat it if I didn't have any other options).
Kingsway Deli
1188 Kingsway
Vancouver, BC V5V 3C8
(604) 873-6666
Tung Hing (Tiem Banh Dong Khanh) House Special Sandwich $2.75
Was a bit confused by this place because when you walk in it looks like a traditional Chinese bakery. It's also conveniently located next door to Kingsway Deli, so I made up some time from having to wait at Au Petit Café for so long. We were a bit thrown off by the giant slice of cucumber on top of the sandwich, but it was well seasoned and complimented the other ingredients nicely. We all really enjoyed this banh mi - it had a good balance of ingredients with a generous amount of tasty cold cuts and delicious pâté.

And the winner of this banh mi battle is...Tung Hing! We celebrated by eating some banana fried buns from Tung Hing's bakery:
Final Rankings:
1. Tung Hing (good balance of ingredients, yummy cold cuts and pâté)
3. Ba Le, Kingsway location (good traditional banh mi)
4. Kingsway Deli (boring flavor but I would eat it if I had no other options)
5. An Nam (strong flavored pâté, too many pickled veggies)
A big thank you to our friends Joyce and Brian for participating in the banh mi roundup!
And check out this cool site devoted exclusively to banh mi, Battle of the Banh Mi, created by food bloggers White on Rice Couple. You'll learn everything you've ever wanted to know about banh mi, including how to make them yourself (vegetarian recipes too!). There's also a great directory of locations where you can get banh mi throughout the US.
So where's your favorite place to get banh mi? Leave me a comment below!

- Read about the Sister Library initiative in this tip sheet. Check the bibliography and Web sites for additional information.
- Educate your staff and administration about the Sister Library idea.
- If a public librarian, involve your board in discussions about what you want to achieve.
- Analyze your library's needs - how could your library benefit?
- Identify your library's resources - what could you offer a Sister Library?
- Determine the level of commitment that you and your institution can make and who will be responsible for overseeing the project.
- Determine your budget for this program.
- Get approval and financial backing from your institution (i.e., board, administration, advisory group).
- Get your community involved. First involve the library community (staff, trustees, friends and volunteers). Then involve the public or your school, university, college or institutional community.
- Organize a local committee.
- Be flexible. The other library may have somewhat different objectives and expectations. Both libraries need to be involved in shaping the relationship.
- If you are establishing contact with a library in a non-English speaking country, make sure you have someone on your staff or in your community who is fluent in the language of the other country and is willing to act as your liaison.
Find a Sister Library: Using this wiki
- Find a Sister Library (see Libraries seeking a Sister Library Relationship).
Find a Sister Library: Outside Opportunities
- Try informal routes and relationships. Find people or organizations in your community that have relationships with other countries. Consider which immigrant groups are represented in your community.
- Drop in on libraries in your travels. Talk with directors and staff. Encourage your staff or trustees to do the same.
- Contact international library students - they might return to set up a Sister Library relationship.
- Look at your community to find natural relationships to build upon - a festival or community specialty that might suggest a relationship with a community in another country.
- Many religious institutions have sister congregations. Find out if your religious institution has a sister congregation and establish a relationship between its community library and yours.
- Several organizations have relevant information for establishing a Sister Library relationship. Check their websites for more information:
- International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) - Contact information for library associations in specific countries.
- Rotary International - Contacts with organizations around the world.
- Sister Cities International - Many communities have relationships at various levels with their Sister Cities except with their libraries. Sister Cities has a tip sheet that could help in finding a Sister Library for your library.
- U.S. Peace Corps - Information on volunteer exchange efforts throughout the world.

Very unhappy. The picture is blown up too big making it very fuzzy. Quebec is cut off a bit too much, so you cannot tell it says "Quebec." Buyer Beware: the return policy is 30 days from PURCHASE, not receipt. If you miss the window, (I missed the 30 cutoff by 3 days) they are not willing to work with you on this. Customer Service is LOUSY!!!

Thank you to Julian for sharing this journal and to Ann for the transcribing. That can't be easy. But Grandpa's mission must not have been easy either. So good to have this record available!

Thanks, Ann, for pursuing this. As I transcribed the first 9 months of Grandpa's missionary journal, I found that it got easier and easier to understand what he was saying. It's sort of like looking for clues - wondering what he meant. Unfortunately, my work needs to be done over, because I corrected Grandpa's spelling, etc. - and I haven't had the heart to go back. This had to have taken quite a bit of time for you. Thanks. And so glad that you approached Julian about obtaining the journal. Last night, as we were watching the filming of the Joseph Smith papers for the book, the set-up was so professional. A professional could do a reproduction???
