Gundruk
Gundruk is dry, fermented leaves and vegetables, used mostly to prepare an acerbic, brownish soup. This traditional method of preserving vegetables is widely followed in the Himalayan region, though Gundruk, it appears, is typically a Gorkha indigenous food, found mostly in Nepal, Sikkim, Darjeeling in West Bengal, and other Gorkha-dominant areas. The fermentation process itself depends on bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus and Pediococcus found naturally, which produce lactic acid and acetic acid from the raw vegetable matter. Leaves or radish pieces are withered and fermented in vats for some times. When fermented fullly, they are taken out and dried. The dried leaves produce Gundruk while the dried, fermented radish pieces comprise Sinki. These can be stored indefinitely. When cooking, they are first soaked in water, then sauteed with onions, garlic and tomatoes before water is added to produce a watery soup. The soup is believed to have medicinal value. Possibly the fibre and acid contents help bowel movement.

Gamecommercial
A combination of an interactive marketing tool with a TV-commercial. The viewer of the TV-commercial is stimulated (for instance via a tag-on to that commercial) to get more engaged in the storyline of the commercial by playing an online game. The online game offers the player the possibility to change the path of the storyline and find an alternative final to the commercial. The gamecommercial is not a TV-commercial, nor an online game, but the combination of the two. The word was used for the first time in 2006 in The Netherlands by interactive marketing agency Tribal DDB Amsterdam, that titled the product they created for insurance company Centraal Beheer Achmea "gamecommercial". http://www.molblog.nl/crossmedia/2813

Isara
Isara is a charity organization located in Nong Khai, Thailand. It was started in 2002 by an American, Patrick Kirk Gillock, who hoped to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. In late 2005, after friends and family had given all the donations they could give, Kirk decided to rethink the "charity model" and decided to switch to a "business model" to help fund future charity projects.

Kirk used his background in web design to create the first non-profit website portal, http://www.isara.com. Much like other websites, money is generated from advertising. The more visits Isara receives the more funds for its various charity projects. But, what makes Isara different, is that nobody is getting rich from this idea. 100% of all funds generated go to fund the charity projects. Isara.com is similar to other web portals, it has a search engine, shopping (but guilt-free), and a forum that will make you smile with each visit. It is a website where your visits and clicks can make a difference.

Originally focusing on the less fortunate in Thailand, Isara (which means "freedom" in Thai) quickly grew and has now expanded into Nepal and Vietnam. Isara charity projects focus mainly on education and health issues. They have helped build schools, provide motorcycle helmets to nearly one thousand students, and school supplies to orphans in Thailand, Vietnam, and Nepal. Their main goal is to expand into Africa.

MetroCircus
The MetroCircus Also known as a "Nemitz Ring-City", is an improvement on the O’Neill space city concept first developed by Gerard K. O’Neill. The MetroCircus design offers incremental growth and development of space city systems, allowing a learning curve towards building full-fledged O’Neill space cities.

A MetroCircus is a moving train on a circular track. It has no front or back, it’s a seamless circle, or a circular track full of cars. The train may use wheels on the track or be a mag-lev system. The MetroCircus is inside a 1 kilometer diameter circular trench or tunnel in an asteroid, moon, or small planet. A train track is placed on the outer wall of the trench or tunnel. The MetroCircus runs on the track, producing simulated gravity by centripetal force.

One main advantage of this design is that the moving structure does not include the radiation shielding mass. This enables far less massive structures and enables the early development of large-scale habitable structures with simulated gravity in space.

The construction method can vary, from multiple cars to a welded construction for a completely solid circle. The hull could be up to several inches thick and made of nickel-iron, or even solid Platinum Group Metals. One kilometer in diameter is large enough to reduce or eliminate debilitating coriolis effects. A one-kilometer MetroCircus would run at about 150 kph to simulate 0.40 gravity.

To get on and off the moving city, another track runs alongside. A ‘commuter bus’ accellerates to match speed with the city, then workers and materials are transferred.

[ [Claire Tonti-Filippini] ]
Claire Tonti-Filippini

Born: 5/6/1967

Marital Status Single, no kids, one fish named oscar

Occupation Varied, has included Wig Maker, Bank Teller, Lunch Lady, Tennis Coach, Dog Trainer, Salesperson (for Gibsware and Gibsware related products), Nightclub Security and Socialite

Ms Tonti-Filippini was born to a wealthy couple by the names of Don Tonti-Filippini and Mavis Thompson. Despite being born without the ability to walk sideways Claire began her early years as a happy go lucky child under the care of her loving mom and dad. Often teased for not being able to walk sideways and called the "reverse crab" by her classmates Claire still managed to earn her first $15,000 by the age of 15 through collecting hair from hairdressers and making wigs for the homeless. She came under much critism from her peers at the age of 20 for apparently exploiting the homeless and decided this was a good a time as any to start a new venture and enter a new period in her life.

Discovering that she had a knack for counting (this came about through counting the individual hairs required for making a wig) Claire decided to try her hand at bank telling. Working at Boston Savers she began her new position the same week she moved out of her parents home. She quickly progressed up the ranks and took on the position of bank manager by the age of 24. Her underhanded way of taunting and manipulating the people around her made her branch become extremely successful and she was offered a promotion and the title of regional manager. However she was never to take on this position as she was kicked by two of the teller working under her on the same day four hours apart and recieved a skull fracture 9 inches long. Claire could have avoided these hits if she had have mastered the ability to walk sideways.

Disheartened by the events at her workplace she again decided to change her occupation. She went through a number of jobs in a number of years (mentioned above) but was unable to find something that counld sufficiently encorporate her love of counting and not require any sideways walking. Claire "the reverse crab" Tonti-Filippini began to lose hope until a fatefull day some ten years ago. Little did she know that she had abilities she was not aware of. And so it was, that she earned her first million in 4 months using her new found talents and is today regarded as the greatest professional in her field.

Isaac Lee Patterson Memorial Bridge--Gold Beach, Oregon
The Isaac Lee Patterson Memorial Bridge, completed in 1932, spans the Rogue River, about a half-mile from the ocean, connecting Gold Beach with Wedderburn. When completed, the 1,932 foot span was the longest bridge between San Francisco and the Columbia River. A beautiful example of Conde McCullough's design style, the concrete span of several graceful arches was recently refurbished and re-lighted. The Bridge was named after Isaac Lee Patterson, governor of Oregon from 1926 to 1929.

Yard Dogs Road Show
The Yard Dogs Road Show is a thirteen-member travelling cabaret that features a unique blend of performances, including vaudeville, burlesque, stage magic, sideshow oddities, and beatnik "hobo poetry." Performances include musical interludes, song and dance numbers, and background music from the Yard Dogs cartoon gypsy band, The Golden Wings of Glory. Originally from San Francisco, the Yard Dogs made their first full-fledged national tour in the Spring of 2005, playing 25 shows in 35 days with seven sold-out performances.

History
The Yard Dogs began in 1998 as a three-piece traveling jug band formed by Yard Dogs founder Eddy Joe Cotton. The jug band started out playing in the road houses and dance halls of the west coast. During this time, band members partook in modern day acid tests with the likes of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. For the next year, the band toured up and down the west coast in a 1967 Ford Galaxy 500. It was on a cold night in 1999 that the band stopped to roll out their sleeping bags off of Interstate 5 at a place called Dog Creek Road that the band found its new name and new calling. Thus the Yard Dogs Road Show was born.

One by one, the band attracted its colorful cast of performers. The band now sports such members as Tobias the Mystic Man (sword-swallower and magician), Guitar Boy (a spandex-sporting "guitar hero"), Hellvis (a musclebound fire-eater), and the Black and Blue Burlesque dancing girls. Founder Eddy Joe Cotton has also performed with They Might be Giants and has been featured on NPR, West Coast Live, and To the Best of Our Knowledge. He is also the author of Hobo - A Young Man’s Thoughts On Trains And Tramping In America, which made it to the Denver Post best seller list.

The Yard Dogs Road Show has performed at venues such as the Knitting Factory in Hollywood and NYC, the Bluebird Theater in Denver, Colorado and the Orpheum Theater in Flagstaff, Arizona. They have collaborated with Teatro Zinzanni, Red Bull, Lucas Films, and New Belgium Brewery, and they participate in annual Native American cultural exchange fesitivals with the Quechan and Mohave tribes.

Lord Woodhouselee
Lord Woodhouselee, also known as Alexander Tyler, was a Scottish Historian and Professor. He is known to have stated a quote as follows: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From Bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."

This quote has been circulating around the internet after the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election.

Woodhouselee, or Tyler, is known to have written several books in the late 18th Century and early 19th Century.

He is also the father or Patrick Fraser Tyler.

PC-452 was Laid down on 14 March 1940 at the DeFoe Boat and Motor Works in Bay City, Michigan, as Hull #167, under the Experimental Small Craft program of 17 May 1938.

PC-452 was to be used as a steam turbine test bed hull, while PC-451, also an experimental ship built at Defoe, used diesel electric drive. Originally called "X-Boats," they differed in detail and were listed as 165 footers, even though they were 173 feet long.

PC-452 was reclassified as an Unclassified Miscellaneous Auxiliary, 'IX-211, and named Castine on 10 March 1945. Castine was decommissioned on 3 October 1945; struck from the Naval Register, (date unknown); and transferred to the Maritime Commission for disposal in January 1947. Her ultimate fate is unknown.

LISSETTE ALVAREZ
Even before Lissette opened her eyes to this world, she was surrounded by music. Lissette's parents, Olga and Tony (a very popular singing duo from Cuba in the 50's) were touring through Central and South America carrying Lissette everywhere before and after birth. Exposed to the colorful music of Los Andes and the contagious rythms of the Caribbean, she grew up in dressing rooms and television studios and had her very own first hit record in Cuba at the age of five.

To avoid Cuban communist indoctrination in schools, her parents sent Lissette and her sister Olga to the US with a program called Peter Pan, in which Cuban children were placed in differents schools, orphanages and foster homes hoping to be someday reunited with their parents. She experienced a hard life in exile at an early age and accompanied by an old guitar, one of her few possesions, she wrote her first songs.

The sisters reunited in Miami with their family after 3 years and moved to Puerto Rico where her parents were offered to have their own TV show. Lissette started singing at her parent's show and soon she also was offered a contract at Telemundo, Channel 2 to do her own show. Soon after came a recording contract with a local label and a star was born.

Lissette created the "Lissette look," and fashion trends like her hats and boots were worn by the women, as her music was sung by the young and the old and her marriage as a teenager to singing idol Chucho Avellanet was televised paralyzing the country for a day.

Television was always a very important vehicle for Lissette. She conducted her own show through the Telemundo Network, and was awarded prestigious acknowledgements." The Lissette Special" with Michele Legrand (produced by Channel 4 in Miami and "Lissette and Friends" with Melissa Manchester and Liz Torres, (Channel 10,) each winning several Emmy Awards.

Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, Trop World in Atlantic City, El Centro de Bellas Artes, in San Juan, The James L. Knight and The Jackie Gleason theatres in Miami, Madison Square Garden, NY, the Miami Arena, have been some of the stages where the "showwoman" has received standing ovations from her loyal fans. She also had the leading role in a soap opera called Solamente Tu, and acted in 3 movies.

Originally called "Slot Meithrin" during the early 1990's, both Planed Plant and Planed Plant Bach have broadcast a wide array of popular Welsh television programs such as "Sam Tan" (the origins of "Fireman Sam"), Caffi Sali Mali (based on the popular welsh children's books written by Mary Vaughan Jones) and Rala Rwdins (based on Angharad Thomas' much loved series of books) whilst also showing translations of popular English programs such as "Mona y Fampir" (MONA THE VAMPIRE), Y Tweenies (THE TWEENIES) and Smot (SPOT THE DOG). It has also been the starting block of many popular Welsh presenters' careers such as Rhodri Owen (presenter on the CBBC program "Short Change"), Sarra Elgan (presenter on "The Saturday Show) and Heledd Cynwal (who now presents main stream Welsh television program "Wedi 7").

Pragmatic General Multicast
Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) is a reliable multicast transport protocol. Reliable means in this case that the receiver of a multicast stream can detect if all packets involved in this stream were actually received and which packets were not received. This means PGM cannot guarantee delivery. Instead best-effort delivery and loss-detection are implemented. PGM is an IEEE experimental protocol. As that it is no standard yet.

God of Christianity vs. Secularism
Many people believe that God, or the Holy Father, is the true way in life, through faith in Jesus Christ. Many people believe that science is the answer to all the phenomenon that occur in the Universe. This is the argument that is posed in public life today between these groups of people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.39.53.3 (talk • contribs) 10:31, September 22, 2006

While at WCAU in the early 50s, he was one of the first broadcast journalists to speak out against Sen. Joseph McCarthy -- even before Murrow did so.

In the late 50s, Shaw was drawn to the story of the burgeoning Cuban revolution, and he travelled to Cuba to secretly meet with Fidel Castro and his brother Raul Castro in the mountains of southern Cuba. When Castro came to power, Shaw was invited to Cuba by the new government, and he was also given a commendation by Castro when the new Cuban leader visited Washington in the early 60s, before relations between the two governments turned sour.

After leaving CBS in the early 60s, Shaw became editor of the Bucks County Gazette, in New Hope, PA.

Shaw died in December of 1987.

Sällskapsresan
The 1980 film "Sällskapsresan," which translates from Swedish to "The Conducted Tour," is the first in a series directed by Lasse Åberg. The plot follows a hapless Swede, Stig-Helmer Olsson (Lasse Åberg), and his new Norwegian friend Ole Bramserud (Jon Skolmen), as they vacation in the Canary Islands. They comically struggle with the different culture, interact with the other tourists, and both ultimately find love. Other characters they meet include the newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Storch; the psychologist Dr. Levander, who tricks Stig-Helmer into smuggling money for him; and the alcoholic duo Berra and Robban, who spend the whole film searching for a legendary place where one can buy 80% proof rum hidden in a wine bottle.

Peeking Tom
Someone of the male gender who enjoys discretely viewing others, usually in a sexual manner. The female equivalent would be a Peeking Tammy.

Stringent
Stringent is a 5 member Christian metal band from Crawfordsville, Indiana. A line from their website best describes them: "Stringent reaches out to those who are outcast and rejected. They reach the lost that the world seems to forget about. Being a Christian is a serious thing, and Stringent proves it both on, and off the stage."

Formed in 2001, Stringent struggled to get on it's feet playing wherever they could set up a mic and an amp. The more they played, the more their sound developed into something more concete. The size of the audiences parralleled the development of their sound. As their fanbase grew, Stringent decided to cut a live self-titled EP so they could get their sound to more worshippers in early 2003. Stringent recorded their debut studio album (In My Remains) in late 2003. Stringent mostly played in Indiana, with a few shows in the Chicago area. They have played with several established bands like Victory Records' Dead To Fall, Blood Runs Cold, Anah Aevia, and With Resistance to name a few.

The lineup has changed several times. The original members of Stringent are Josh Rickard on bass, Levi Denman on guitar, Dave Davenport on drums, and last but not least the screamer Luke Denman on vocals. In 2002, Stringent added Brendan Gleason on backup vocals and Jacob "Bake" Henry on bass; with a new bassist, Josh Rickard gave up his bass for the rythm guitar. In 2003, Josh Rickard made another change to lead guitar and now Matt Newlin is on the rhythm guitar and Kurt Todd is making lots of noise on drums.

In early 2004, Stingent fell to the fate of most "garage bands" and went their seperate ways.

Westboro Beach
Westboro beach is a beach in the City of Ottawa. It is located by the city's Westboro neighbourhood, beside the Ottawa River parkway and the NCC bikepath. It is easily accesible by bike or footpath. there is no public transit that stops at the beach, so you must get there on your own. The beach cannot usually be accesed by car, however exceptions are made to a club's kayak-towing van, which enters via Lanark Avenue. The beach is large and sandy, and contains a small canteen and eating area on the east side of the beach. The beach will be closed after more than 5mm of rainfall, or when tests indicate more than 200 E-coli bacteria per 100 ml of water. Because of these regulations, the beach is often closed throughout the summer(which does not mean people do not swim there, it just means that no lifeguard supervises the beach). Fishing or motorized boating is not allowed on the beach, but this seems to be regularly ignored. Also, extending from either side of the beach is rocky shoreline where people light fires, do drugs, and drink lots of beer(the evidence is on the ground).Many local kayakers also use the facilities however, holding races, testing boats, or occasionally kayaking downriver from Brittania Beach(subject to the same environmental regulations as wWestboro Beach).
