I sent out the email newsletter today. Also, I made prominent mention of the paper on all of our top pages at PALC.net. I'll let you know later in the week how our readership is going. Is anyone interested in designing a poster/handbill for giving out/displaying at the centre this week?
NEW: I've found that we can get the domain names, pbuzz.net or pearsonbuzz.net in order to make it easier to advertise our site (and easier for someone to type in). Which one do you prefer?
Bravo to all of you! You're published . . .

Woohoo!
It looks awsome Brad! Congrats everyone.
I'm having kind of a hard time coming up with something to write about for the next column. Any ideas anyone?
Favourite places to go with kids on a long weekend (like Easter) might help some of the parents at the centre learn something new. Even about Van Island if you want.
That's a fabulous idea Brad. Thanks.
Save Money and still Driving
Since, the gas price has started to go up NON Stop, our pockets have became lighter and
lighter. Therefore, it is hard to afford big V6 or V 8 vehicles. Also, such large can cause so many
environmental problems like Global Worming, which maybe responsible for all the strange
weather we have in past several months.
Ok, how are we going to solve this problem? It will be very hard to solve this problem totally,
but we can reduce the problem by driving hybrid vehicles.
What hybrid vehicles are?.. hybrid vehicles are combine two or more sources of power. Most
of the hybrid vehicles run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline.
What are the advantage and disadvantage of hybrid cars?
The advantage of hybrid cars is good mileage, lower emission, less noise, long lasting brakes. For
example, brakes can last 150,000 k/m and on some cars, batteries go up to 150,000 miles or close
to10 years. Hybrid cars often recover braking energy and use it to charge the battery.
The disadvantages– they still produce emissions in to the atmosphere, are expensive, costly to
repair, and are not powerful as gasoline vehicles.
Many people believe that the best hybrid car in the market today is Toyota prius.
Toyota Prius’s approximately price starts from $32000.00. Toyota prius’s combined mileage in
the city/ highway approx 55k/m with a gal.
The government is giving up to $2000.00 tax reduction when you buy any hybrid vehicle.
Overall, the hybrid cars will save you some money in long term according to the good mileage
etc...
The Speedy Cooking: Bulgogi (Marinated beef)
If you ask me what the most famous dish in Korea is, I would recommend Bulgogi, marinated beef dish, Bulgogi is the representative and the most common dish in every Korean restaurant. Traditionally, Bulgogi, is cooked on a dome-shaped pan that is placed over a charcoal brazier however, we prefer to cook in a regular fry pan or an electric skillet because of its convenience. Bulgogi is not only tasty and healthy but also very versatile with many kinds of vegetables and noodles.
Ingredients
1lb Thin-sliced Beef
1 medium Onion
1/2 Carrot
4 Mushrooms
5 T Soy bean sauce
2~3 T Minced Garlic
3 T Chopped green Onion
3~4 T Sugar
2 T Sesame Oil
1/2 t Pepper
Directions:
1. Mix the soy bean sauce, minced Garlic, green onion, sugar, sesame oil, and pepper in a small bowl (Sauce)
2. Slice the vegetables finely.
3. Mix beef with the sauce and vegetables in a large bowl.
4. Wait for the beef and vegetables to get mixed well with the sauce. (Over 10 min)
5. Pour the mixed Bulgogi on the preheated pan.
Tips:
For more tender beef you may put juice from blended kiwi or pear.
If you are craving sweet taste you may add 1~2 T honey
Hi Harjit.
I just re-worded a few little things for you.
Save money and still drive.
Gas prices sky rocket.
The price of gas has gone higher and higher over the last few years. Our pockets have become lighter and lighter over the last few years. It's become difficult to afford a V6 or V8 vehicle.
Global warming.
Large vehicles are one of the major causes of global warming. Some feel this is partially responsible for the strange, shifting weather we've experienced over the past months.
How do we solve this problem?
How do we solve the problem of global warming? Solving it may be difficult. However; we can reduce the problem in one special way.
Earth friendly Hybrid vehicles.
Hybrid vehicles combine two or more sources of power. Most hybrid vehicles run off on a rechargeable battery and gasoline.
You seem to really know what you're talking about here Harjit. I think you need to turn your short sentences into paragraphs. I think your idea is great. I spoke to Brad about Hybrid cars not too long ago. I was more concerned though about the fact that the average joe couldn't afford to buy one.
Hi Harjit, nice to see you here!
Yep, I agree with Stacey about paragraphing.
And maybe intro is too long. You can just dive in to the topic: hybrid car is good! So consider!
And I'd like to know more details. Like:
How does the engine work with battery and gasoline? (this might be too technical, but explain like you do to a five-year-old. I want to hear a rough idea.)
How lower the emission? What percentage is it lower than regular car's?
What is the cheapest hybrid car?
Maybe you can compare some car and a hybrid. Like:
I spend that much money on gas every month, but if it's a hybrid, this much.
Hummer's mileage is this, Civic is this, and Prius is this.
etc.
I think more data would persuade the reader to think, hummm, I might try a hybrid next time .
Oh, and maybe you can start with an anecdote.
You go to the gas station to fill up, and the bill comes astonishingly high. Then you go, man, maybe it's time for thinking a hybrid car. . .
hi Stacey and hiromi
thanks for your comments on my article. I will add more details and make pharagraps better.
