Ice Cream Flavor Chili, Onion, Egg, Sardine, Crab, also Meat

It's the picture of Italian ice-cream in a sho...Image via WikipediaStores Selling Ice Cream Flavor 860

You might imagine a store that sells ice cream with a sense of the world's largest in Italy or the United States, but it was in Merida, a city in Venezuela. His name, Coromoto store.

Neon lights outside that says "Guinness Book of Records" pink become one of the unique features of the store, but once opened the door it became clear that other stores than others.

Inside there is a refrigerator with an ice cream looks bright and tempting to eat. Taste of ice cream sold as chili, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms in wine, garlic and cream of crab.

Coromoto founded in 1980 by an immigrant from Portugal, Manuel da Silva Oliveira. The owner does not often appear and now the store is managed by Jose Ramirez.

Seasonal
Jose was clearly visible as manager of an ice cream shop. Friendly male 40-year-old when found wearing a white shirt and purple, and black mustache. "Oliveira tired of working for a large ice cream company," said Jose, "and decided he could make ice cream taste interesting."

The first experiment is the Avocado. "To get a sense of right requires hard work, because the avocado is very rich in taste," said Jose. "Oliveira remove approximately 50 kg of ice cream to experiment to get the perfect taste."

Coromoto sold about 60 taste every day, but change the taste of ice cream in accordance with the seasons. In addition to the standard ice cream taste like chocolate and rum and raisins, lots of choices of exotic fruit such as guava, papaya, mango and passion fruit type.

Some other sense, including 860 types of taste in ice cream are: eggs, macaroni and cheese and sardines, are examples of ice cream taste weird. And also there are many strange names like the taste of British Airways, Andean Kisses and I'm Sorry, Darling. One of the sense that, given the name Viagra Hope, like a bright blue Viagra pill.

I have to ask what the ingredients, and natural ingredients to make ice cream: Honey and all natural: honey and pollen. "Different people like different things," said store manager.

"Personally I like the taste of fruit but many buyers are choosing flavors containing alcohol such as Cointreau, cognac or vodka-and-pineapple. Of course, as people venezuela plus lots of rum."

Ice cream flesh
"Flavor of ice cream what is special for the store?" I asked Jose. With a laugh, Jose said "pabellon criollo" - Venezuela's traditional food made from meat, rice, plantains, cheese and black beans, which were copied by Coromoto to taste ice cream.

Jose get a scoop of ice cream from every taste-and it's really like ice cream sold in the meat Coromoto.

Throne To The Princess



A father, a wealthy businessman coincidence multi-business, facing a very delicate matter. Who should choose the President & CEO to replace him to lead his business empire which had painstakingly built over half a century?

Now age has seven heads and old diseases have started to undermine him. He knew that soon he would follow his ancestors into the hallway mortal life.

Son three people. The eldest is very bright, reaching MSc. and an MBA abroad, he tastefully sophisticated, like glamorous, ambitious, and have extensive interactions among the jet set. Only the father is worried because the eldest is a talent flirt with danger like the (supposedly) the Kennedy family. His gambling instincts big, and his intent was fraudulent strong enough. In short, he's smart, creative, but the wily and slippery.

The center, even more powerful. PhD degree. in chemistry from famous universities in the United States, he graduated magna cum laude. His paper strewn in international journals. Very proud of the father's heart who just graduated from high school during the Japanese occupation. He was a lecturer and researcher. And the company his father he served as Director of Research and Development. But it became CEO, he was too academic.
Kurang cocok dengan bisnis mereka yang kini berspektrum sangat lebar.

The youngest, the only female, just graduated from S1 in the country.

Although the last five years since she joined her father's business as Director of Consumer Groups, but she began his career in the foreign company as a salesman (marketing executive). She crawled out from under to 15 years and could reach the position of General Manager. Brain loses both brilliant than her brother.

Although likely to save a word, but she showed good leadership talent. She was able to listen intently. The views and ideas it can be treated with consideration.

Casual lifestyle. She liked and respected man for being fair, honest, and capable of populist with her subordinates.

Well, if you are an independent consultant, who select the your replace the patriarch became President & CEO?

I bet most of you will nominate the youngest.

And the father the same way. This problem becomes complicated, because according to custom, the heir to the throne sulunglah. And, he was very ambitious for it. Was the youngest, but most bloated, women again. So he lost the status, title and gender.

How the solution?

Consultant raise your hand.


Textbook reference no. The patriarch finally could only rely on the authority and wisdom as a father. Then she called her three children.

His problems are laid out clearly.

Described his plus-minus of each child. Analyze the possibility of success of each

led the group's efforts towards the third millennium.

The dialogue begins.

And the father immediately informed, dead lock will occur.

"Come, I'll decide for myself who my successor," said the parents were finally. All three reverence by.

A week later, the father came with a test.

"Whoever can fill this space to its fullest, so he is my successor," he said, pointing to the only conference room filled with four chairs and a round table. "Budget $100 maximum," he added.


The first chance fell to the eldest. Easy, he thought.

The next day, fulfilling the room with shredded paper sacks. And indeed it becomes a solid room.

"Good, tomorrow it's your turn," said the father to her second child.

Twenty-four hours later, the room was compliance with styro-foam beads are obtained by destroying the packaging marks.

"Okay, tomorrow it's your turn," said the patriarch pointed to her daughter.


The next day, when the inspections began, the room was still empty.

"Why, really empty?" Asked the three nearly simultaneous. The princess said nothing. Turned off the light switch. From her pocket she was out a candle. Placed on the table.

Then lit with a match.

"Look, this room filled with light. Please assessed, whether there is no light gaps, "he said calmly.

Irrefutable anyone, he declared victory and the princess had the right to occupy the highest seat. Problem solved.

Quality indicated the father and daughter is what I call wisdom. The main characteristic of the wise (wise person) is the ability to solve problems in a genuine and satisfactory. This is consistent with the defining Jerry Pino wisdom as the ability to make the best decision at
any given situation.


Smart, on the other hand, is the ability to digest and process information rapidly. Features, rational, methodical, linear, and analytic. General intelligence of the brain were obtained with bald.

From the first balding traits are smart people.


But the wisdom (wisdom) not only requires mental exercise but especially if the liver. Rarely we realize, our hearts can actually think. In the tradition of ancient literature, especially the holy scriptures, the heart is the location of wisdom, wisdom and intelligence. More specifically, the liver is our access point to the higher knowledge, namely the Lord himself, namely Allah. In this sense, the sage always connotes the pious and devout.

Now, as the rationalism of Descartes and the legacy of Immanuel Kant became commander, the wisdom that comes from the heart (conscience or inner voice) tend to come second. The main thing is the head. World politics, business and society we then dominated by technocrats, experts and masters degrees, doctorates, and professors.

Change the impossible possible



As a journalist, was, he paid 17 million a month in a national media. But, he instead decided to come out to independent. He faces trial and error. This story

New businesses are still in the plan, I leave an established job. Decision 'crazy', perhaps. Imagine, I paid USD 17 million per month plus some tantalizing facilities.

However, my decision was unanimous. In my eyes, to be more promising entrepreneurs. Of course nothing is easy. Moreover, I have no experience at all, except as a journalist. But I sure can, as long as hard work.

The first opportunity that I caught the singer considered the controversial town of Pasuruan. He is my contract gig in Sidoarjo, Jember and Banyuwangi. His name became a guarantee, darted through the rocking of her drill. So, the advantage is in lidded eyes.

Humans have a plan, a step that determines God. Not that lucky, I actually Cripple (loss) USD $ 25 million! The audience who attended less than the target. "And again, your show is not a blessing. Lust Inviting rocking, forbidden to watch," said ustadz (religious teacher) me. Alamaaak (so sorry), had lost sin again.

So, do not want to add sin, I racked his brain for a new business that is clean and blessed. There lyrics lyrics here, I finally found a real estate mangkrak (
place name) in Surabaya. Intends acquired, I also went looking for information. Unfortunately, the information that I can not please them all. The company wrapped up a complex issue, particularly its debt mountain. Already offered everywhere, no one wants.

Ah, they might not have the slightest chance.. I'm curious. Prophet Isa when crossing a street with some friends, somewhere, found the carcass of a mule. The stench makes the friends hold my nose as he muttered.

What did the Prophet Jesus? "Look, how white teeth donkey!"

I pondered. So, from something that looks too bad we could always see something good. It all depends on the point of view and the way we perceive.

The story inspired me when listening to the various problems that the middle coiled real estate company which again I buckle-buckle it. From the pile of problems, I see there is still a glimmer of light. Pretty good location. Thus, if I was able to overcome various problems that this super-complicated, God willing, I will not be so difficult to market.

Sense of optimism appeared in my mind. But, as my company's acquisition, a myriad of problems facing. The first days in office, many people came. Almost all of them angry. Starting from electricity, water channels are jammed, and the most severe debt problems. Fund USD 900 million that we sold out to prepare paying
the debt. To the extent that I as a director can not afford phone credit, because the cash was drained. Done?

Yet. Is still a pile of debt. But here I feel the hands of God. Apparently the various, sometimes suddenly entered the money from the sale of the house. Sometimes the collector will also delayed payment. Dozens of times I feel God's help.

Hence, each hit a problem I always say to my friends, "Insha Allah (
with the permission of Allah), there is a way out." Is not every problem is reversed, there must be easier? The key, in addition to hard work and patience is begged God's help.

Case singers 'drill' it gives me a valuable lesson.

Before acquired, I asked directions to God, through prayer istiharah (
ask for God's guidance). My prayer is simple, "Oh God, if You allow I handle this company, give me the way. But if you do not pleasure, keep me from it."

I am sure, weighing any problem, if God's help there's a way out. That's what I feel.

Now, 2 years running, my income is greater than I could from Kompas-Gramedia with 17-year working period. (Basuki Subianto, as narrated in the book launch of 'Changing the impossible possible, the end of January. The paper was published in February edition Hidayatullah Magazine 2005).

Mosque Islamic Center of Washington DC The Islamic studying


Islamic Center, the oldest mosque in Washington DC, is not only a favorite destination for residents of American Muslims visited, but also many non-Muslims who came there in search of knowledge and knowledge about Islam.

"We're trying to spread knowledge about Islam as the Qur'an teaches us, through wisdom and good guidance," Imam Abdullah M. Khouj, Director of the Center for Islamic Center - told Islam Online.net in an interview in his office.

A historic mosque, located in the heart of Washington on Massachusetts Avenue, is a destination for non-Muslims from America and abroad who come to join in a popular tour.

"Every day we receive 100-600 guests," said Imam Khouj.

Some tours conducted for the State Department official who will serve in the Islamic world or the students who will study in Muslim countries.

"They came to the Islamic Center and we give lectures and seminars on the situation in the Middle East and what to expect and how to behave in an Islamic country," explained the priest Khouj.

Islamic Center is the oldest mosque in the Washington Metropolitan area. "The mosque was built in 1947, and opened to the public in 1952," said the priest Khouj. When opened, the mosque has become the largest place of worship for Muslims in the Western Hemisphere.

Khouj said the idea of building a mosque was first born in 1944, when it was not a single mosque in the capital of the United States. "This is a joint effort of Muslims here and ambassadors of Islamic countries," he explained.

"Turkey's ambassador at the time discussed the possibility of particular U.S. city of Washington DC has a place for Muslims to practice their religion in the U.S., and it is this which makes what the mosque can exist." Islamic Center is managed by a board of directors that consists of all the ambassadors from Islamic countries accredited to the United States.

During the tour, the mosque officials also provide information about Islam, its teachings and the Prophet Muhammad and answer questions from visitors who are curious about Islam.

"Many were asking about the status of Jesus Christ in Islam, and I answered them that you can not become a true Muslim if you do not believe in Jesus," said Koroma Abbassie, coordinator of the group who visited the Islamic Center.

"The others asked me that if Islam is a tolerant and peaceful then why are there so many Muslims to become terrorists. I said that Islam had nothing to do with the wrongdoing committed by the individual."

Koroma was speaking after completing a tour to a group of Christian Sunday school who listened intently as he talked about the five pillars of Islam and what it means to be a Muslim.

"We came because I wanted the students to understand about Muslims, their religion," Tom Clumet, from Sunday School, told IOL.

Dean was one of the students, joined the tour because his friend was a Muslim and he wants to know more about the religion of his friend. "I got information that helped me. I feel to know Islam better now." Islamic Center is also the arrival of important figures for several years, including several presidents of various countries.

Islamic Center is a mosque which was chosen by President George W. Bush on September 17, 2001, just days after 9 / 11 attacks, to talk to Americans about Islam. Islamic Center, the oldest mosques in the Washington Metropolitan area, offers a variety of services to the local Muslim community.

Like the mosques throughout the U.S., the Islamic Center offers various services to the local Muslim community. "This place is central to every Muslim in the neighborhood," said the director of the Islamic Center Khouj. "We're trying to be a place of education, cultural and social center in addition to being a religious place."

This mosque also contains a big library with all sorts of books on Islam, and have classes to study Arabic, the Qur'an, Islamic law and other subjects related to Islam. "Unfortunately, space in the Islamic Center does not allow us to build a school here, but we managed to set Saturday and Sunday classes for six classes."

The mosque is also involved in the social life of society and try to solve some of their problems. "We do marriage counseling, we help people understand funeral and burial procedures, we try to help people who are not married to married," said the priest Khouj.

"We bought a large cemetery and is available for Muslims to bury those who died for free, because the cost of the funeral here in the United States is very expensive."

But the Islamic Center services are the most proud of is the program da `wah. "We have a large number of people who converted to Islam in here every month," said the priest Khouj. "We made a seminar for the converts, to engage in their new religion, so that they understand and have a clear vision, not just to follow certain methods."

Islamic Center Director also confirmed that their outreach beyond the mosque building. "We have the participants to help us send packages of books to institutions across the U.S., especially in prisons where people want to know about Islam," he said.

"And we received a letter from officials at several prisons are thankful to us because after receiving Muslim prisoners are changing their behavior and they become better human beings. Khouj trust by helping to spread the message of Islam is the main role to every mosque. "We send a lot of people to schools, organizations and prisons to give lectures about Islam.

"We're trying hard to hold fast to the teachings of our religion and the representation of Islam as it should." (Fq / IOL)

Hold the Peanuts

There is an interesting article about the technique of hunting monkeys in the forests of Africa, the way he is so unique. Therefore, a technique that allows the hunter to catch a monkey in a state of alive without the slightest injury. Understandably, orders are. Therefore, the monkeys will be used as an experimental animal or animal circus in America.

PeanutImage via Wikipedia


Hellyer Gorge, TasmaniaImage via Wikipedia


How to catch simple. The hunter only uses long-necked jars and narrow. Jar was filled with peanuts that have been given the scent. The goal, in order to invite the monkeys came. Once filled bean, jar-jar was planted in the soil by leaving the mouth jars are left without cover.

The hunters do it in the afternoon. The next day, they arrested the tingal monkeys whose hands were trapped in the bottle can not be issued. Kok, can? Of course we already know the answer.

The monkeys were attracted to the smell that comes out of each jar. They watched and put his hand to take the nuts that was inside. But since holding nut, the monkeys were not able to pull out his hand. During maintain the nuts, as long as they were also trapped. Jar was too heavy to lift. Thus, the monkeys will not be able to go anywhere!

Maybe we'll laugh at the stupid behavior monkeys. But, without knowing exactly we're probably laugh at themselves.
Yes, sometimes we act like monkeys. We mengenggam close any problems that we have as mengenggam monkey nuts.

We often hold grudges, not easy to forgive, not easy to let go I'm sorry ..

The mouth may say sincerely, but the embers of anger still in the chest. We can never let go.
In fact, we act so stupid, bringing "jar-jar" that wherever we go. With a heavy load, we tried to keep walking. Without realizing it, we really are trapped acute liver disease.

People, in fact the monkeys were able to survive if it would open the grip.

And, we will be safe from liver disease before bed if we want to remove all "bad taste" to anyone who interacts with us. That way we will find the next day so bright and deal with a smile. And, we also know that heaven is reserved only for those whose hearts are really clean ...

So, why do we still hold the juice are also uneasy that?
