What did you have for lunch today Part 4
Time to start a new thread.
We came from here (Part 3): http://www.chow.com/topics/859983
Tell us what you had for lunch, whether fancy or modest, whether in a restaurant or at home; to desperation meals from the snack machine in the office coffee room...
re: huiray
Looks pretty good!
It's amazing how the Vietnamese food we get in Singapore & Malaysia are so bad compared to those you can find in the US, considering our proximity to Vietnam. For e.g., the distance between a Malaysian city like Kota Bharu to Saigon, Vietnam, is perhaps like the distance between New York & Pittsburgh. I guess ideology (especially during the Cold War era) played a large part in segregating communist states like Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos from its non-communist neighbors. These days, with the ASEAN binding all these former foes together in a common market, and with greater travel & interaction between our people, it was sometimes really amazing for Singaporeans & Malaysians (especially the Chinese) to discover that Vietnamese culture and food is 90% similar to ours. I thought Saigon food was especially similar to Penang food in Malaysia, amongst others:
Hu tieu = koay teow t'ng
Banh Uot = chee cheong fun
P.S. - The signboards on the stalls (I snapped these photos at Hong Phat coffeeshop at Cholon, Saigon's Chinatown) read:
"Hu Tieu Nam Vang" which translates as "Koay Teow Phnom Penh", since this popular noodle dish was introduced by itinerant Chinese (Chiuchow/Teochew) hawkers from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
"Banh Uot Dac Biet" just meant "Cheong Fun 'Special'" - which contained quite a few types of French-influenced Vietnamese charcuterie. Very sweet though.
re: klyeoh
Very interesting. I think I would agree with the "Communist" – "Non-Communist" segregation and wall back then between SE Asian nations. Nice photos; when were they taken?
Yes, it is notable that there is a lot of similarity between food in VN and food of the Chinese diaspora esp. Teochew and related. I would think that the emphasis on *fresh* herbs and greens and *lots* of them is one thing that makes VN cuisine stand out, however. The French influence and absorption of things that started out with a quasi-French or full-blown French origin indeed ought also to be noted. Even Phở, that dish emblematic of VN, is thought to have been derived from the French "Pot-au-feu" in some quarters. The charred onion and ginger that goes into it is also thought to have French/European derivation. Then there's Bánh Mì - which is also thought to have a French colonial origin, especially with a lot of the stuff that is used for it...
I suppose the fact that the US was so heavily intertwined with South VN and the large wave of folks that came over to the States with the withdrawal of the US from VN contributed in great part to the vigor of VN cuisine in the US. Not to mention the familiarity of a lot of folks with VN cuisine when they were serving in VN, so that there was not as great a need to "dumb down" the cuisine when VN folks set up shop here in the States, unlike some other cuisines (like "Chinese").
But mayhaps someone from VN here would comment and make corrections as needed...
re: huiray
Those photos were taken in 2008 thereabouts - by then, my experience with the Teochew-speaking old restaurateur in Paris (which I'd detailed in another thread, somewhere) had given me the confidence to traverse much of Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City's streets, speaking to the vendors, etc, in Teochew or Hokkien, with some phrasebook Vietnamese thrown in. Most of the time, I didn't have any problems at all making myself understood, especially in the Cholon district :-D
I get to be first!
A whole falafel topped with diced tomato, lettuce and pickled cabbage and with pickled radish and a couple of small olives on the side I eschewed the hot sauce oil and unscrewed the cap to dress my falafal with the paste of dried red chilis under the oil. Sunrise Deli has great falafel.
re: chocolatetartguy
This one? http://www.sunrisedeli.net/
re: huiray
Yes that's the place. My falafel was freshly made and made for a very pleasant lunch b4 dvd shopping. I'm no expert, but my impression is that it is very authentic. The salads look very good too, although I never get past the falafel.
re: chocolatetartguy
Oh I *am* jealous...I used to live about two blocks from there and it was a favorite!
re: pagesinthesun
Sounds good.
My lunch was at Ishin, one of KL's premier stand-alone Japanese restaurants. It's located in a small bungalow and its surroundings really evoked the feeling of being in a small suburban eatery in Japan, with sloping roads & trees all round.
My personal lunch bento today (part of a larger spread, as I was dining with office colleagues) was Ishin's Autumn Special, which contained some sashimi, vegetable tempura, prawn croquettes, grilled salmon wrapped around tuna, sweet egg omelette, raw scallops & salmon roe on vinegared rice & edamame.
re: klyeoh
I had left over psuedo-pho fro last night's dinner.
I didn't have beansprouts or Thai basil, and used giant purple mustard which dyed it all an odd greenish-purple.
Sounds hideous, but it was very tasty.
re: pippimac
Heh. Any pictures?
re: klyeoh
Oh, that looks very good! Very good indeed. Grilled salmon wrapped around tuna? Interesting!
Did your colleagues have similar sets?
This place, I presume: http://ishin.my/
(p.s. it always disturbs me when I see upside-down depictions of Phalaenopsis blooms...as they use in their Flash sequence of background pictures at the top left... I get very annoyed when I see decorators and/or advertisements use those artificial stems of "Phalaenopsis" flowers in their decor schemes with all the flowers carefully rotated and symmetrically displayed - upside down! AAARRGGHHH.)
They have no pics in their gallery of the exterior. You wouldn't happen to have taken any, would you? I did a double-take when I saw their listing for Hakkaisan sake making - until I remembered that there is indeed a Hakkaisan Brewery in Niigata in Japan and they weren't refering to "Hakkasan", an, uh, different thing. :-)
re: huiray
I'm afraid I didn't take any exterior shots of the restaurant as it was drizzling today - KL's been pretty much inundated by the monsoon rains daily these few weeks.
No, my colleagues didn't have the set as they didn't like the fixed items listed - but they went overboard with the California-style makis, so we ended up with a LOT of leftovers :-(
Will post pics of those on the China-SE-Asia board.
re: huiray
Picture of the building which houses Ishin, taken by KL food blogger vkeong.
re: klyeoh
...and yet just outside it beyond the tree border is a 7-lane divided highway. :-)

re: cresyd
Interesting. Tell us more - is this sort of delivery commonplace in Jerusalem? How about to homes? What sort of stuff? Difficulties or "availability across lines of conflict", so to say...
I am reminded of the extensive networks of dabbawallahs in many cities of India.
re: huiray
Regarding delivery, for the most part there is a pretty strong (Palestinian) East side/(Jewish) West side split in regards to how delivery food works. On the West side, delivery restaurants are pretty similar to what you'd find in other Western countries. On the East side in Palestinian neighborhoods - the restaurant culture is a bit different but there is also a strong delivery culture for expat aid workers/Consulates and other foreign organizations. It's not a given that a place in West Jerusalem won't deliver to East Jerusalem - but there are places that either refuse and giving directions to where you are in the East can be very difficult to someone unfamiliar with the area. I would say that it's not so much a case of "areas of conflict" - but much more a case of self segregation so the idea of placing and expecting the delivery person to find your office may be at risk. In the 2.5 years I've worked in my office, we've only ever gotten delivery from places based in the West from two restaurants - and only if the order is over a relatively significant amount.
Mak Sandwich, from my experience, is particularly well known in the area because unlike most restaurants that prefer you place one order per office a day - you can make 20 separate orders to Mak Sandwich a day for delivery for an item that costs as little as $2.50. They're not the best, but they're good enough and very convenient to be quite popular at lunch time.
re: cresyd
Very interesting. Thanks for the response, cresyd.
I take it Mak Sandwich is in East Jerusalem? Is there a "halal"/"kosher"/non-halal-non-kosher split as well?
re: huiray
Mak Sandwich is in East Jerusalem - but in general the obvious split in Jerusalem is more kosher/non-kosher (which can include halal)/places that serve pork. For whatever reason pork is that "final frontier" for both the Muslim and observant Jewish patron. There are places that serve milk and meat together and shrimp where quasi-observant Jews are happy eating (even if they don't order those items) and restaurants that have alcohol where quasi-observant Muslims are happy eating. But as soon as pig gets on the menu then the place is definitely not an establishment someone "respectable" would go to.
re: cresyd
Appreciate the additional background.
re: huiray
...Or the network of "tiffin meals" suppliers in places like Chennai:
re: huiray
Heh. It seems Neal Brown will be offering lunch deliveries in Indianapolis using Indian-style metal tiffin carriers.

Corsica Walking Week
Corsica & France, Trek & Walk, 8 days - from £895 (land only) - from €1,255 (land only) - from $1,460 (land only)
Corsican Cuisine
The Corsicans are genuine foodies. With all but one evening meal included in the trip price, you'll have a real chance to taste the delights of this island jewel.
- Gentle guided walking on the sunkissed west coast of Corsica
- Day walks from stunning village bases, including Evisa and Porto
- Two night stay in the charming cliff top village of Piana
- Explore mist-veiled mountains and secluded Mediterranean coves
- Option to hike to the rocky peak of Capo d`Ortu (1294m)
This excellent, and fully guided, Corsican walking holiday showcases Corsica's rich natural treasures; from the mist-veiled mountainous terrain beneath the peak of Paglia Orba (2525m), down to the stunning natural stone towers and cool blue Mediterranean waters of the Gulf of Porto. We explore this rarely visited area from four unique and beautiful village bases, walking some of the best sections of Corsica's famous Mare a Mare (sea to sea) walking route. Our first two nights accommodation are at the beautiful seasonal ski station of Castel di Vergio and from here we walk in the rugged Golu Valley, following a straightforward section of the world famous GR20 route. Heading west, we then hike across the Col di Vergio to the famously picturesque village of Evisa and spend two nights there, with a day walk through the mediterranean maquis to the atmospheric abandoned hamlet of Tassu. We continue, hiking an age-old path that takes us down to the vibrant marina at Porto, with its rocky beach and photogenic pink granite coastal outcrops. We end our walking week exploring the coastal paths and herb-scented trails around the delightful village of Piana. Sea eagles, cormorants and gulls frequent the cliffs and the translucent water is home to rich marine life. With a coast line decorated with offshore islets, secluded coves and pink granite pillars emerging out of the cobalt blue waters, it is not hard to see why the area has been awarded 'World Beauty' status by UNESCO. We end our holiday on a high with an optional walk to the top of Capo d'Orto, the second highest summit of the Calenche de Piana. From the top we have a fantastic view out across the intriguing geological rock formations to the gulf beyond. This holiday is a real opportunity to explore a beautiful and seldom visited part of this Mediterranean gem.
Is this holiday for you?
This is a relaxing walking holiday, very different to our 2-week GR20 Corsica trekking holiday. Starting out in the mountains and making our way gradually down to the sea, this trip offers walks of only moderate length and difficulty. On average, we walk for just 4 or 5 hours each day on good trails and there are no really big climbs. On top of this, several of the walks are optional and you can choose to do them - or not. Adding to the relaxation factor, is our choice of comfortable hotels and guesthouses throughout.

L.A. is a city built on lunches. Come one o'clock, practically every seat from the beach to the Rose Bowl is filled with finance kids negotiating, agents powerbrokering, actors reading scripts, and even us plebs just looking for a yummy meal. But, what do you get when you don't want to brown bag it, but also don't need to walk away with a $50 check? You turn to your trustiest lunchtime staple: the sandwich.
And in this city, you won't be stuck with ham and cheese or turkey on rye. To mix it up, we've rounded up the most unexpected and hunger-inducing combos that exist between two slices of bread. Whether it's a deli classic, a local vegetarian specialty, or a spicy number hailing from Spain, these delicious options have you covered from Santa Monica to Glendale.

Case Study: Bollinger Shipyards and the AlumaFeed SystemFriday, June 3rd, 2011
You'll be hearing a lot from us over the next few months on aluminum. One of the first things we'd like to share with you is this great snapshot of the aluminum welding needs at Bollinger Shipyards in Lockport, La.
Read the whole story here. After the excerpt, see what the folks at Bollinger Shipyards had to say about Miller's AlumaFeed™ System.
Aluminum is increasingly specified in marine applications because it's lighter without sacrificing strength and functionality. This makes ships faster, saves on fuel, and provides them with excellent anti-corrosive properties. It does, however, present difficulties: distortion, cleanliness, aesthetics, burn through and difficult wire feeding, to name a few.
To best meet these challenges, Bollinger overhauled its entire aluminum welding facility to include a new bulk gas delivery system, wall-mounted booms for wire feeders, and new AlumaFeed™ synergic aluminum welding systems from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. The system is designed to simplify and improve MIG and Pulsed MIG aluminum welding applications and has proven a good fit at Bollinger.
Improvements include: Hours saved in productivity, thanks to the synergic controls; reduced distortion and burn through, thanks to the Pulsed MIG capabilities; the aesthetics of a TIG weld with the production speeds of MIG welding; less bird nesting, thanks to advanced wire feeding technology; switch to a larger diameter wire, which allows for faster travel speeds.

European Parliament votes in favor of backloading—a freeze on the auction of carbon emission permits
5:14 AM MDT | July 4, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
Members of the European Parliament (MEP) voted today in favor of freezing the auction of a number of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission permits—backloading—after narrowly rejecting a freeze in April. The measure aims to restore the incentive effect of the European Union's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and tackle climate change. This time, however, parliament set stricter conditions for a freeze. MEPs now say that the commission "may, in exceptional circumstances, adapt the timing of...

Practice Philosophy
I'd like to help you achieve your personal best! In addition to the skill of the surgeon, successful surgery depends upon the doctor and patient working as a team. I'll take the time necessary to determine your needs, motivation, and if your expectations are likely to be met. I'll educate you about the nature of your condition, treatment options available and we can do together to help smooth the recovery and successful results.
About 2/3 of my practice is devoted to breast surgery and body contouring surgery. I perform breast augmentation, lift and reduction and have a broad experience in treating breast asymmetery. I have been performing fat transfer to the breast since 2012 for women who want a subtle and natural enhancement. I perform abdominoplasty and various body and thigh lifts as well as power assisted liposuction. I have a special interest in the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) with Botox and surgical removal of the underarm sweat glands. I also have extensive experience with labioplasty, a procedure that trims the labia minora in women who have excess length of the labia.
About 1/3 of my practice is devoted to facial plastic surgery. I keep up to date on the latest techniques for facial rejuventation including minimally invasive procedures and fillers and Botox. I have trained extensively in the technique of Lipostructure where fat is removed from one area of the body and transferred to another area of the body or face.
My goal is to make your plastic surgery experience a great one, one that you would recommend to family and friends. It all starts with the initial consultation. During this session, you and I will get to know each other. I'll review your medical history, take a look at your area of concern and offer my recommendations. You may be nervous or embarrassed, but please relax. I've seen just about everything! I'll answer your questions and address your concerns. We'll give you written information about the procedures recommended as well as scheduling information and a cost estimate.
I charge $100 for the initial consultation. This is applied towards my surgeon's fee if you go forward with the procedure(s) recommended.
Once you've decided to have the procedure, I see you again at the preoperative visit, about two weeks before the surgery date. I'll do an exam, go over consent forms and instructions and give you your prescriptions and answer any additional questions. We check any necessary lab work at this time.
The day of surgery will be over before you know it. We will do everything we can to keep you comfortable with medication. We pay careful attention to your healing and provide gentle encouragement. Depending on your surgery, it maybe a few days to a few weeks for you to fully appreciate the benefits of surgery. Don't be afraid to ask questions or voice concerns. It's probably your first time and it's hard to know exactly what to except. I'll see you frequently during the early recovery period. I usually take postoperative photos at three months and then again at one year. By that time is usually seems like we are old friends!
Our in office operating room is certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). We work with several excellent, board certified anesthesiologists from Outpatient Anesthesia Services. I also operate at Seattle Surgery Center which is conveniently located in the building adjacent to my office. I have privileges at Swedish Medical Center.

Amita Vempati is a graduate student in the Central Eurasian Studies Department and the School of Public and Enviornmental Affairs. She is the Outreach Graduate Assistant at the IAUNRC for 2014-15.
What's New
Dr. Mohammad Gharipour is an associate professor of architecture at Morgan State University, a partner institution. In addition, Dr. Gharipour is the director and founding editor of the International Journal of Islamic Architecture. On March 9th, 2015, Dr. Gharipour came to Indiana University to give a talk for the CEUS Colloquium series, entitled "Pavilions in Persian Gardens: Context, Design, and Function." Prior to his talk, IAUNRC Graduate Assistant Alexander Zakel got a chance to talk with Dr.
Doctor Edward Lazzerini gave a presentation on January 16th, 2015 on the Sinor Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies (SRIFIAS). Dr. Lazzerini, the director of SRIFIAS, began by talking about the many resources available within the SRIFIAS library. A non-lending institution, the SRIFIAS library contains thousands of texts relevant to the region, including rare manuscripts and imprints. The Institute also contains microfilm copies of Central Eurasian manuscripts that are otherwise unavailable outside of Central Asia.
Through funding from the U.S. Department of Education, six Title VI National Resource Centers plan to award stipends to faculty at community colleges and minority-serving institutions to develop and incorporate greater content about Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia into the curricula of the institutions at which they teach. Faculty at community colleges and minority-serving institutions throughout the U.S. are invited to apply for a course development stipend.
The IAUNRC is a United States Department of Education Title VI grant institution that coordinates resources to increase understanding of all aspects of the diverse region and peoples of the Inner Asia and Uralic Regions. The IAUNRC works in tandem with four other Indiana University organizations focused on Central Eurasia, making IU the nation's paramount academic institution for the study of this region. These partner organizations are:
- The Department of Central Eurasian Studies
- The Sinor Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies
- The Center for Languages of the Central Asian Region
- The Summer Language Workshop
- Turkish Language Flagship Center
Past Events Highlights
The following was written by Jason Vincz for the Russian and Eastern European Institute. Reused with permission.
On March 27th, 2015, the Islamic Studies program hosted a talk by IU graduate student Rosemary Pennington entitled "Weaving Together A Socially Mediated Muslim Self." The subject of the talk was the dynamic process of identity formation among Muslims on the social media site Tumblr. Because of the particularities of Tumblr's infrastructure, it allows users to create a dialogue about what it means to be a Muslim in the form of reblogs, tags, and likes.

text: As we embark on another long road trip, I remember a recent NFL Network show on Eddie Debartolo...one of the things that he provided for the Walsh era Niners was 1st class travel for the players on road trips. The planes were chartered and had big, roomy 1st class style seating so that the players arrived much fresher before and after road trips. I think Mr. Ross, with his estimated 4.5 billion dollars, should invest in a chartered team plane, with Dolphin colors and graphics, that provides that kind of seating for the players...I think there are a few teams that already do this (I've seen the Cardinals jet in Phoenix) and with our geographic location we will always endure many more miles than most other teams. Just a thought.

- The Recorder
Wayne Clark, executive director of the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland, was told this week that his services were no longer needed after Wednesday.
The nine members of the executive board made the unanimous decision before Christmas, but didn't tell Clark until Wednesday.
The executive board made the decision for a change in direction, said Todd Morgan (R), a St. Mary's County commissioner and co-chairman of the council. "It's probably best for the organization to have a change in leadership," he said. "We wish Wayne the best of luck in his future endeavors."
Clark held the job for about six years.
"Wayne's given us good service, but we want to go in a new direction and now is the time to make a change," said Del. John Bohanan (D-St. Mary's), a member of the executive board.
The renewed focus of the council will be directed toward three things, Bohanan said — education, economic development and infrastructure for the region, such as transportation.
Wayne Clark said Wednesday he could not comment, but suggested then he might on Thursday. He could not be reached by deadline Thursday.
Gerald Clark, a Calvert County commissioner and member of the council's executive board, said, "I worked for Wayne for a couple years as chair and at that time, my first year there I was pretty new to the position as chair because we just rotated county to county, so I learned a lot and I have no complaints about working with Wayne … Wayne is a very professional person and very cognizant of some of the issues in Southern Maryland.
"There's no smoking gun there or any one big hiccup or anything that precipitated this move," Gerald Clark said. "It's just things are getting different, budgets are getting tighter and the executive committee decided to move in a different direction and look for new leadership.
"Wayne should be very proud of his tenure at the tri-county council. He moved the tri-county council along quite a distance and he kept it moving in some very tough times," he said.
Elaine Lancaster is filling in as the interim director, while a search is under way for a new executive director.
The Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland was established on Dec. 6, 1964, to foster the economic and social development of Southern Maryland, according to the Maryland Manual. The slot machine economies of the region were on their way out, as the state voted in 1963 to eliminate the 5,000 machines by 1968.
In return for banning slot machines in Southern Maryland, the state promised to build the bridge to connect Calvert and St. Mary's counties, to convert St. Mary's College into a four-year school and formed the tri-county council, Bohanan said.
The council pools local, state and federal resources to address regional issues such as transportation, utilities, urban growth and development, housing and public facilities and services, according to the Maryland Manual.
For example, the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland repeatedly informs the Maryland Department of Transportation that a top regional highway priority is the replacement project for the Gov. Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge, which opened in 1977 connecting Calvert and St. Mary's.
State planning for the replacement project, which includes improving the intersection of Route 235 and Route 4, should be completed in fiscal 2014. An additional span or an entirely new and wider bridge are under evaluation. Estimates for the work start at $750 million, and there is no money programmed for engineering at this point.
Staff writer Jeff Newman contributed to this report.

.A dog in Tennessee whose owner dumped it at a shelter because he thought it was gay was saved from euthanasia at the last minute by a kindhearted animal lover.
The dog was left with a rabies control shelter in Jackson, Tenn., this week not because hes mean or tears things up But because his owner says hes gay! the group Jackson TN Euthanasia, which tries to find homes for dogs in kill-shelters, posted on its Facebook page on Wednesday.
He hunched another male dog so his owner threw him away because he refuses to have a gay dog! the group wrote in a post that went viral, leading to thousands of comments online and hundreds of people calling the shelter

Ali and Ricky are two-time adopters from the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan. After bringing home a snuggly pup named Ruby, they decided she needed a furry companion. That's when they met a cat named Hummus, and their family of three became four. Ali shared the following story with us:
We decided to adopt Ruby three years ago because we wanted a dog to complete our family. I was adamant about rescuing a pup in need, so my first choice was the ASPCA! We visited the Adoption Center and looked at all of the dogs There was something about Ruby that was special—and we kept coming back to her over and over again. Within five minutes of playing with her, I was sold. It was an instant connection.
We had to wait until the next day to come pick her up, and that was the longest night ever! We loved her already and couldn't wait to get her home. Since then, Ruby has done nothing but snuggle with us, love us, and pretend she's a two-pound lap dog. She is everything we ever wanted and more!
A few weeks ago we decided it would be awesome to have another little addition. We decided that she might like a buddy in the form of a cat, as she is very gentle with them. I went to the ASPCA once more because my experience with Ruby was so awesome. We soon found Hummus, and it didn't take long to realize this little guy was going to be a great fit in our home!
We were afraid that Ruby might be a little too hyper for Hummus as she can be a real lover at times, but it took only a day or two for her to adjust and begin to love him as one of her own. Sometimes we find them snuggling together, or find Ruby grooming Hummus like one of her pups! They love each other, and Ruby has definitely stepped up to the plate as an awesome big sister.
Ruby is a dream come true and Hummus is such a wonderful new addition to our family. He quickly found his way into our hearts. We are so thankful to the ASPCA for bringing these two amazing animals into our home and family. They see us through tears, joy, and everything in between! Words will never be able to say how much they give us.
Have you adopted a pet from the ASPCA? Email us your story at [email protected], and we might feature it on the blog!

ETSU Women's Tennis Garner Win Over Elon, 5-2
Sunday, March 07, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 7, 2004) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team won their first SoCon match of the season against Elon Sunday, 5-2. The Bucs improved to 8-6 overall, 1-0 in SoCon with the win, while the Phoenix drop to 5-0, 0-1. "It's always good to get our first SoCon victory," said head coach Steve Brooks. "Elon is a good team and a good addition to the Southern Conference. I have a lot of respect for coach Parham and for the program he has built over the last 14 years." In doubles action, ETSU saw wins from the pairs of Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland) and Mariya Ilyina (Kyiv, Ukraine), and Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia) and Jessica Irey (Clewiston, Fla.). Ziolkowska and Ilyina defeated Elon's Melissa Holland and Elizabeth Kristofak in the No. 2 slot, 8-0. In the No. 3 doubles, Halim and Irey defeated the Phoenix's Elizabeth Kernodle and Kelly Fleck, 8-3. ETSU's loss in doubles came at the No. 1 slot. Courtney McInnis (Waterboro, Maine) and Jewel Aldea (Charleston, S.C.) went 8-3 in the loss to Evin Prelec and Jennifer Fulmer. Brooks commented, "We played good doubles except at the No. 1 position. We were flat and did not concentrate." In singles play, ETSU tallied wins from Ziolkowska (6-3, 7-5) at No. 2, Halim (6-2, 7-6 (11)) at No. 3, Irey (6-0, 6-1) at No. 4, and Ilyina (6-1, 6-1) at No. 5. The Phoenix's two points came from wins at the No. 1 slot from Prelec (3-6, 6-3, 6-3) and at the No. 6 slot from Fleck (6-0, 6-4). "At singles the winds still bothered us," said Brooks. "However, we were able to adjust better today." Elon will travel to Greenville, N.C. to face Eastern Carolina on March 9 at 2:00 p.m., while the Bucs travel to Rock Hill, S.C. for a match against Winthop University on March 9 at 1:00 p.m. ETSU 5, Elon 2 Doubles: 1.

Kanye West's Top 5 Now Moments
Kanye West's Top 5 Now Moments
Ah, Yeezy season is back and we can't be happier. It all started midway through May when Kanye decided to ditch the radio and the Internet all together by projecting his new single "New Slaves" on over 60 buildings throughout the world. Following the weekend when fans ran block to block to catch a visual of his new hit, West gave us a surprising SNL performance that included the debut of his second single "Black Skinhead." On that very same night, Kim Kardashian (Kanye's girlfriend) showcased the album cover, the title of the album Yeezus, and a glimpse at the new Yeezy II colorway. In anticipation of the release of the new album, Mr. West broke his three-year media hiatus in an interview with The NY Times, giving us a glimpse into the production of his new album and thoughts on his career.
Finally, Kanye West released his sixth studio album Yeezus on June 18. He presents us with a body of work that is daring and complex, yet entertaining at the same time. Despite its lack of radio play--a platform Kanye isn't concerned with anymore--the album has taken the Internet by storm with countless reviews and quotes of favorite lyrics. Yeezus hasn't even been out for a month yet and it's already shaping up to be one of the most buzzed-about albums of the year.
Whew! It's been a jam-packed season. Kanye leaves us with surprising moments and unforgettable memories. In honor of the season we took a look back at the Chicago rapper's career and chose Kanye West's Top 5 Now Moments.

Kanye's "Stronger" is still to this day one of the biggest hits of his career. Teaming up with French house duo, Daft Punk, to mix one of their most popular songs "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" into a more hip-hop driven beat without losing the aesthetic of the original. It was genius. It was game changing. It was stadium music exposing Kanye to a broader audience and opening up new creative possibilities in the hip-hop genre. The song went on to top the Billboard Hot 100, sell over 5 million digital copies in the US, and win Best Rap Solo Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards.
2. Glow In The Dark Tour
One of Kanye's most unforgettable moments came after the success of his third solo album Graduation. Selling over 900,000 copies in the first week meant West was able to beat rap superstar 50 Cent in a friendly album sale competition. Mr. West decided to travel around the globe performing his critically acclaimed Glow In The Dark Tour. The tour also included Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D., Nas, a few surprise guests and Ye as the final act.
When it was time for Kanye's main act he performed the entire show solo. No dancers, no ballerinas, no hype men, and the band hidden underneath the stage. His performance was inspired by a space ship crash landing on an alien planet. He began the show with hit "Good Morning" and perfectly transitioned from song to song.
Aside from a few controversies, like tour date mix-ups and Rihanna leaving, the tour was highly praised and grossed around $30 million over the course of 49 shows. Kanye proved he wasn't just a master in the studio, but a gifted performer as well.
3. 808's & Heartbreak
Kanye was undoubtedly in a dark place after his breakup with longtime fiancée and the passing of his mother, but that darkness helped created one of the most influential albums of the past decade. 808s was undoubtedly a musical and creative departure from Kanye's previous work. It was a daring approach at expressing himself through an 808 drum machine and Auto-Tune.
The album consists of a 12-track therapy session filled with loud tribal drums, 808s and dark self-loathing emotional lyrics utilized and manipulated by Kanye to create a distorted, electronic sound. Its the most vulnerable portrait we have ever seen of Kanye but we couldn't be more most impressed. Kanye isn't a gifted singer but 80 percent of the album is him singing and people loved it. At the time, Auto-Tune was highly scrutinized for being overused in hip-hop, but Kanye was able to provide a new artistic approach and gave fans something completely fresh.
Musically, 808's & Heartbreak was the turning point in Kanye's career. It demonstrated that his artistic ability and talent could go far beyond the realm of hip-hop and appeal to a more mainstream audience. Like his hit single "Stronger," 808s further opened the creative possibilities in hip-hop and inspired many successful artists today. Drake, anyone?
4. Nike Air Yeezy's Drop
Back in 2009, Kanye had the sneaker world in amazement with the release of his Nike "Air Yeezy" sneaker. With a retail cost of $215, sneakerheads lined up for days at the nearest sneaker spot just to get their hands on the glow in the dark shoe.
In the past there have been several hip-hop artists who have collaborated with sneaker companies to create their own brand of shoes including 50 Cent's G-Units, Jay-Z's S. Carters, and Pharrell's Ice Creams, but none of them amounted to the hype of the Air Yeezys. With the success of both models released in the Air Yeezy brand (Yeezy I & II) comparisons to the dynasty brand Air Jordan can be easily be made, at least Mr. West thinks so.
Kanye has shown us all that, not only can he dress well but also design some of the best products.
5. Kimye
After Amber Rose we thought Kanye would take things slow and enjoy the single life for a while. Wrong! He surprised us all by dating none other than reality TV megastar, Kim Kardashian. Since they started dating, photographers and reporters have been super glued to the couple no matter the scenario. Whether it's shopping, red carpet appearances, or keeping an eye out for street signs, paparazzi is always on the scene. But nothing grabbed more attention from the couple than Kanye's announcement of Kim's pregnancy at an Atlantic City concert in December.
Nine months later, Kim has reportedly given birth to a newborn baby girl. In a recent article with the NY Times Kanye states, "Like, this is my baby. This isn't America's baby." So don't expect much news on Baby North West, but prepare to witness one of the most stylish infants OF ALL TIME!

A Conversation with Rolando Reyes, Sr.
The creator of Puros Indios and Cuba Aliados cigars speaks to Cigar Aficionado.
David Savona
From the Print Edition:
"24", Jan/Feb 2006
Few of the men who run cigar companies are great cigar rollers. Rolando Reyes Sr. is the exception. His talented hands have worked cigar tobacco since he was a child in Cuba. After he learned how to roll simple parejos, or round cigars, his tutors recognized his potential and taught him how to craft figurados, the complex shaped cigars that are the most challenging to create. In 1975, he left Cuba, taking his skills to the United States and, later, to Honduras, creating the Cuba Aliados and Puros Indios brands. Many credit him with bringing the diadema shape to the American cigar market.
Cuba Aliados was a hot brand, but a lawsuit between Reyes and his distributor, Cigars by Santa Clara N.A. kept it off the market for most of the cigar boom. A recent settlement returned the brand to Reyes.
The 82-year-old Reyes recently sat down with senior editor David Savona for a comprehensive discussion about cigars, tobacco and restoring Cuba Aliados to its former stature. His grandson, Alex Diez, translated.
David Savona: Let's discuss how you got started in this business. How old were you when you came to the United States?
Rolando Reyes Sr.: I was 51. I came 30 years ago.
Q: Did you open a cigar factory right away?
A: In Union City [New Jersey]. It's still there. It's still open. We have a retail store. That's a part of me I don't want to part with. I was working there, but it wasn't enough production for the demand, so I came to Miami. And in Miami there wasn't enough either, so I went to Honduras.
Q: Tell me about Cuba Aliados—didn't the name originate from an old bus company in Cuba?
A: It's the same name—the bus line used to be called Aliados, and I named the company Aliados. It means "allied."
Q: When did you first start making cigars?
A: In Cuba. I was nine years old.
Q: Were you working at home?
A: I worked in a small factory, where I wasn't only being taught how to roll cigars, but how to handle everything you had to do. They taught me everything, so I could learn how to start rolling.
Q: Where in Cuba was this?
A: Zulueta. From there I went to a factory in Remedios called Aguilar and then I went to Havana to work in José Piedra. And from there, I went to H. Upmann. The boss at H. Upmann was a friend.
Q: Were you known as a very good roller in those days?
A: Yes.
Q: What type of cigars did you roll at H. Upmann?
A: I started with parejos, then I went to [José] Gener, where I started learning how to roll the piramides and figurados.
Q: When you say "figurado," do you mean cigars that look like the Cuba Aliados Diademas you make now?
A: Yes. I'm the one who brought from Cuba the figurado.
Q: Let's talk about your figurados. I've always been intrigued by them, because they looked very much unlike any other cigar on the market. You make those shaped cigars without molds, right?
A: Yes.
Q: Is that the way they were done in Cuba?
A: It's done completely by hand.
Q: But wouldn't it be easier with a mold?
A: It is easier, but for me, it was very easy to work without the molds. For new people, the mold is very important.
Q: Is it very difficult to teach people to make that type of a cigar?
A: It's not easy.
Q: What was the reaction in the United States when you first started selling your diademas?
A: People would say, "I've never seen anything like that." They didn't know which end to put in their mouth. (Laughs.)
Q: I remember you once told me that you don't use tobacco from Honduras, even though you work in Honduras. Do you still not use it?
A: The government gives me free entry; I can use leaf from anywhere in the world.
Q: Don't you use something from Honduras?
A: No, nothing from Honduras. Never.
Q: Why don't you like Honduran tobacco?
A: I just don't like it. I never worked with it. I feel that it doesn't have what I'm looking for. There's really not that much tobacco grown in Honduras.
Q: I know you're very fond of Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. What is it about that tobacco that's so special?
A: The taste is sweet, it burns well and it has a great aroma. And it has beautiful color.
Q: And how do you think the Nicaraguan corojo, that new wrapper leaf you're using, compares to Ecuador Sumatra?
A: I like it very much. I like it better than Sumatra. Each one has its own beauty.
Q: Is Sumatra thinner than corojo?
A: Yes.
Q: Is the corojo stronger?
A: A bit. It depends on how you treat it. The strength comes from how you treat it.
Q: You mentioned treating tobacco. Can you talk about that?
A: I process it according to the quality of the cigars. Nothing chemical, it's just natural.
Q: Don't you dip your tobacco in something? A bethune?
A: I touch the tobacco up with a secret recipe.
Q: Do you still run your factory the way you used to? You are known for sleeping during the day, and looking over the work at night when everyone has gone home.
A: (Laughs.) I start at 10 at night, and I'm done at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning. I am quality control. There is only one person who does quality control [in the factory], and that's me. I like to work at night, because there's no one to bother me, and I can concentrate better in detail on what's wrong with a cigar. When I'm working on something during the day, they'll call me for something else.
Q: You like being in the factory alone? No one bothering you?
A: You have to concentrate. I like to inspect every cigar.
Q: You personally check every cigar that's made in your factory?
A: One by one.
Q: But how many do you make a day?
A: We do 30,000 to 40,000 a day.
Q: You check every one?
A: Yes.
Q: How?
A: I pick up a bunch of 50, and I can see if it's short an ounce or over an ounce. When I start during the night, I start with the smaller cigars and work up to the bigger cigars—that way I go from the lighter cigars to the heavier cigars.
Q: Do you have to drink a lot of coffee during the night?
A: (Laughs.) I just have a lot of energy.
Q: I heard a story—I don't know if it's true—but I heard that when you were inspecting the work one night, you found something you didn't like and you turned the roller's chair upside down for him to see the next day. Is that true?
A: If it's a small problem, I write them a little note. If it's a big problem, I will dock them for the work, and I will turn over the table and leave a note. The note says "ojo," which in Spanish means "eye." I'm watching you. I'll put up with one problem, or two mistakes. The third? You're out.
Q: Are you a tough boss?
A: I have to be. Sometimes they might come in a little drunk or with problems. I don't want to hear about that. You have to be straight.

Comments On Apr 07, 2015:Riding in dusty areas pre filter was getting clogged with dust this item preduced that problem by a lot. Great now can ride longer with no power lag.

Comments On Sep 21, 2014:Bought the box cover because my four wheeler runs better with the air box cover off but didn't want to run it that way, because I was worried that something would get through the air filter and find its way into the motor. Put it on my four wheeler and it fits perfect never came off once. Washed the wheeler and there was water on top of the cover and it was bone dry in the box. So I believe the product works great.

Comments On Sep 05, 2014:Doesn't stay on, water gets in just as easy, even makes the quad run bad, "flutters"

Comments On Aug 09, 2014:At first I was a little skeptical about the screen mesh keeping all the mud and gunk out of the air box. But after a few years of riding I am pleasantly surprised in this airbox lid. After a long day of riding through the muck there is mud on the lid but none has ever seeped through to the air filter. I Would buy this again.

Comments On Oct 07, 2013:Not bad if you just want to add a little airflow for your box and keep out debris. save your money and buy an FCI from fuel customs .com. This is not enough to gain any HP on the KFX450R.

Comments On Sep 05, 2013:I had an ltr 450 with a cherry bomb, no baffle and an no airbox lid. I go trail riding in Pennsylvania so i wanted more protection to my air filter. I bought this and at first it always came off which drove me crazy. I would put it in as firm as physically possible and i'd start the engine. One rev of the motor and the cover popped off. I finally said screw it and bent the two tabs down a little bit more and it worked perfect. I highly suggest doing it! My friend has a kfx 450r and his had no problem btw. works great in trail riding.

Comments On Aug 21, 2013:Not worth the money I ended up not using a air box lid at all, the only time I use it not is on muddy days

Comments On Aug 17, 2013:Works awesome on my kfx but it is a lid so the seal on the top of the box is not complete but i put double sided tape along the sides of the Moflow and it works even better now

Environmental Commitment
Our environmental commitment does not stem top-down from the office of the president, the sustainability coordinator, or from pressure from the students. Sustainability at COA is a systemic effort that flows from every member of our community: from the kitchen to buildings and grounds, to the courses faculty teach, to the community the students uphold. We encourage it of each other.
This section explains some of our successes, deliberations and practices. We believe that if we are to engage in a conversation about sustainability, being transparent about our process is essential in order to remain honest and create a conversation larger than that of our own community. We certainly don't have the answers; you might not either. If we work together, sharing our efforts, our ideas and our struggles, we will go further, sooner. Our own environmental commitment is directly related to the ability for others to do the same.

Thanks Bob,
She is a working fool all she expects is some clean #2 and Hot Bath after we unload the trailer full of oil soaked pipe...
A forklift is one of those things you start out thinking you can't afford, then you get one and tell yourself you can't afford not to have one..
I'm at the same crossroads on a CNC plasma table now.. The time they save is tremendous..it's the 32K in today's oilfield economy that makes me scratch my head..Steve

Restored forklift a labour of love for repairer
Bay Roberts, Canada
Wednesday, 3 Jun 2009
Before restoration work began on the 1985 Toyota forklift.
A former General Motors dealership technician with a penchant for restoring vintage items has almost single-handedly restored a 1985 Toyota forklift.
Paul Short ,who started automotive repair business Specialty Repairs in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, Canada with his wife Kathy 14 years ago, tells Forkliftaction.com News the couple didnt think theyd end up doing some of the things they are doing today.
Besides repairing cars, Short and his wife were asked by their customers to do machining and welding work. Before long, they had accumulated all types of specialty tools.
Our regular day consists of vehicle repairs, welding and machining but after a little while, I decided to start restoring some unique items I would find around the local area, Short says.
The items included old vintage gasoline pumps, Coca-Cola vending machines and coolers, vintage Honda motorcycles and childrens pedal cars.
We built a special 1,000 sqft (93 sqm) building just to display all the stuff and all our customers enjoy viewing it all when they drop by for a visit, Short says.
The couple soon discovered that they needed help moving disabled vehicles and other heavy items that were brought in for welding.
Living in Newfoundland and being on an island, we dont get a lot of choices when it comes to buying used machinery but eventually I found a Toyota forklift.
It was a rough-terrain machine and thats just what I needed.
[However] it had spent the last 20-plus years working at a local fish plant and was very rusty. It looked terrible and needed a lot of work, Short explains.
Short says he just wanted to make the 1985 model look better but when he bought it for CAD2,000 (USD1,885), his regular customers who saw it would say I bet youre going to do something really cool to that machine.
Well, for me, that meant I had better not disappoint them and restore it as good as I can, Short adds.
The project took on a personal meaning for Short when Kathy located the forklifts serial number on its frame and discovered that the forklift was one month and two days older than his youngest son Daniel.
Kathys role in the project was the most important one, Short says. Before restoration work could begin, Kathy did all the searching for parts, manuals and even researched the forklift itself.
We had trouble finding the serial number on the lift and after many hours of research she located the area on the lift in which to find it. Without the serial number, we would have come to a dead end before we even started, Short says.
Short started restoring the Toyota by removing all the parts to be rebuilt or replaced. He used high-pressure water to remove the old coat of paint and a self-built, big sand-blaster to cut through the rust. He ordered new mast bearings and new cylinder kits. Some of the hydraulic cylinders were sent for re-chroming.
As the original Toyota engine hood was too expensive to replace, Short fabricated a new engine hood and rebuilt the motor by replacing all the gaskets, oil pan, bearings, rings and valve stem seals. With the transmission, he replaced the filter and fluid. He rebuilt all the brake lines and replaced all the hand brake cables and the ratchet.
Short then installed new tyres, and primed and painted the forklift. Due to the machines weight, all the work was carried outside his shop. Before winter arrived, he used his new Kubota tractor to push the not-yet-running forklift into his shop.
While it was indoors, Short fabricated a sun visor, a rear light bar and a custom storage box for the forklift out of checkered plated aluminium. I even placed checkered plate around the frame and it was really starting to take on a new look. Short says.
He then replaced the steering wheel with a custom wheel and redid all the wiring on the forklift. After that, he added special lights with guards that he had fabricated and air horns, and installed new dash gauges with LED lighting.
To complete the forklift, Short removed its worn-out charging system with its outdated external voltage regulator, and installed a new GM alternator with a built-in voltage regulator. He also custom built new mounting brackets.
The 1985 Toyota forklift is completely restored with some customised features like checkered plate aluminium storage box and sun visor.
After that was done, I had the motor up and running and it was sounding sweet, especially since I removed the old exhaust system and custom mounted two chrome exhaust stacks in the rear of the lift, Short says.
Short says he accomplished all this with an investment of CAD4,500 (USD4,150) in parts and materials and during his spare time over four months. The forklift is now used on a daily basis.
Short adds that he learnt from his experience that if youre going to restore a forklift, it would be much better to have another forklift help with the lifting.
By the time I purchased our new Kubota, the heavy parts of the restoration was completed, he says.
But the hard work has paid off. I am very pleased with the outcome. I have a machine that complements our business and is practical to own. The old forklift actually looks like a new one. Customers love seeing it and some even took photos of it, Short says.

Good Afternoon Paul,
I am very Thankful that you choose to share with us all of your custom creations and restoration projects. Your Craftsmanship and attention to detail speak volumes, and shows all of us that you are a truly remarkable individual.
I have worked with many Newfoundlanders over the years, and like them, I can hear that same Pride echo in your words.
Newfoundland Pride is a truly special quality... Love of Life, Love of the Island, and Love of the Sea.
It cannot be bought.... It cannot be taught....It is passed on Father to Son, and Mother to Daughter. It is a part of your folk lore and your culture.
I have always admired you Newfoundlanders for that.
That strong sense of Pride is the same with all that I have met from the Maritime Provinces. The ones that are here, are trying to make a living, but almost all, to a man, look forward to the day when they can go "Home"
From what I have seen and read on these forums, you represent yourself, your province, and Canada very well. You seem to exemplify the best of what it means to be a Canadian, and it is very fitting that your work be admired abroad.
I am glad that you were featured in the Australian paper. You and your wife deserve all the accolades that you receive.
Hopefully our next generation of tradespeople will come across your work, and they will begin to imagine what is possible through hard work, determination, and the unwillingness to accept anthing less than their personal best.
Thank you Paul for all you do for these forums.Later,
Professional Spark Generator by Trade.
Jason my friend. You'll never know just how much your post mean to me and to all Newfoundlanders. As one person read it your post yesterday he commented to me that it was a very well thought out process you went through to put it into words. It's very obvious that you've had a lot of experience working with the boys from the rock and I can bet my bottom dollar they all enjoyed working with you as well. I truly appreciate your kind words. I've seen your work which is second to none so that makes it extra special for me.
As for the forklift. Well it was just another one of those projects that kind of got away from me but that's the way most of these projects go it seems. If you ever find yourself on the rock you'll have to let me know your on the way and I'll make sure you get to see the place. Thank you so much sir for your comments. They made my day. Stay safe.

Gallery: HNTB Unveils High-Flying Ribbon Bridge to Renovate Los Angeles...
HNTB collaborated with Michael Maltzan Architecture, AC Martin, and Hargreaves Associates to design the new bridge, which was inspired by the arches of its predecessor. Opened in 1932, the art deco 6th Street Viaduct was one of nine connections built over the LA River, but is now degrading and was deemed unfit for restoration. The new cable-stayed bridge will be constructed from ten sets of concrete arches that will connect Boyle Heights to the Arts District across I-5, the 101 and the LA River. Cars aren't the only ones with access across, the bridge will also cater to pedestrians and bicyclists with dedicated lanes and paths. Stairs and access from the bridge down to street level, to parks underneath and even to the river will create a greater connectivity near downtown.
Under the eastern section of the bridge will be the Boyle Heights Gateway, which will include playgrounds, sports facilities, a pedestrian promenade, a transit plaza, and a lookout point. It will also include an extension of the Clean Tech Corridor through the adaptive reuse of existing buildings to make way for new companies. On the western side will be a connection with the Arts District with a hardscaped Arts Plaza containing a café, outdoor seating, a lookout, and terraced riverbank hardscape. Slightly to the east is the Viaduct Park with a promenade, amphitheater, and skate park. And finally the bridge will provide easy access to the restored LA River below. Sustainability sits at the heart of the new project which will provide new public park space, improve biodiversity, renovate underutilized spaces and revitalize the area. The pedestrian and bike-friendly bridge will help decrease car activity and encourage use of public transportation.

The living world is presently divided into three cellular lineages: the Bacteria, the Archaea and the Eucarya. We are interested in the events and mechanisms that lead to the establishment of these three lineages and in the role that viruses have played in that history.
The main research axis of our unit focuses on studying viruses of hyperthermophilic Archaea. These viruses are much more diverse than those infecting bacteriaand their virions display unique morphotypes, opening new questions on the origin of viruses and their relationships with cellular organisms. We are studying at the molecular level DNA replication and transcription for several viruses as well as their interactions with their hosts. We are also exploring these highly stable viruses for their potential application in nanotechnologies.
Beside these experimental studies, we are studying several fundamental questions related to microbial evolution using /in silico/ methods through approaches of microbial phylogenomics. We are particularly interested in the phylogeny of microorganisms, and in the emergence and evolution of various key cellular structures and processes, with a focus on the evolutionary links among the three domains of life.
Our interest for viruses infecting microbes leaded us to develop a new project focusing on the study of interactions between bacteriophages and bacteria in animals. Several new viruses infecting bacterial pathogens have been isolated. Their in vivo characterization using two animal models revealed the therapeutic potential of these bacteriophages.
Keywords: Archaea, Viruses, Evolution, Microbial Phylogeny, Bacteriophages and Therapy.
