WHAT???

An Irish/Mexican Feast

POP'S TOP TEN

it was a big night for Barack and Doogie. Pops gives us some things overheard at the Bowler's last night.

• "I thought for sure he'd deliver his speech in a bright orange pantsuit"
• "Keep it down Barb, I'm trying to listen to Wisconsin governor Jim Doyle"
• "I was wondering when he was going to bring up his plan to bring peace to Lo and Adriana on "The Hills"
• "Gore looks as though they tried to squeeze him into the same suit he wore at the 2000 convention"
• "For the sixth time Doug, I don't know where the hot volleyball babes in bikinis are"
• "Barb look....they're telling the President he's at the wrong convention"
• "Where is Britney?"
• "Can you imagine Mike going to see "House Bunny" instead of witnessing history being made?"
• ""Where's Paris?"
• "I thought for sure he'd devote a good portion of his speech to my Labor Day cole slaw recipe I sent him"

Well...

...I'm here and settling into college life! There are so many awesome, welcoming, and fun people here, so that has made it an easier transition. I'm all moved in nicely and my roommate is very sweet and friendly and we've already had a fun time together these first few days! Classes started today, which was a bit confusing (figuring out things like getting class notes and books and such), but it has ended up being a very good day.


Although it's been super scary to be out on my own--making desicions I'm not used to making and all--I really believe and know that God's going to use this experience and the time I have here with all these amazing people. I long to grow in so many areas! The Lord's been working in my heart, teaching me to trust Him in everything and helping me see that I don't have to rely on my own strength, but in His. It's so exciting!!!

Aunt Jill's Summer Vacation

Transworld Leaving O'side, Surfing To Carlsbad

OCEANSIDE ---- Transworld Media, an action sports magazine publisher long associated with Oceanside, will relocate to Carlsbad early next year, employees said this week.The company, which employs 125-150 people in north Oceanside, plans to move into a larger space in the Carlsbad Airport Business Park, said Stacey Ingenito, Transworld's publicity manager."We've been in this building quite a long time, and it's time to upgrade," Ingenito said Tuesday from the company's headquarters in a burnt-orange building in an industrial area near the Oceanside airport.It will be a big shift for Transworld, a popular niche publisher that has called Oceanside home since Larry Balma, a manufacturer of skateboard parts, started TransWorld Skateboarding magazine in 1983."It's going to be kind of a hard thing" to see the Oceanside building shuttered, said Balma's wife, Louise, a former Transworld employee and city planning commissioner. "But they're going to a new building ---- it's going to be all fresh and clean, and everybody's all excited."The company has had several ownership changes over the years. It's now part of the Bonnier Corp., a privately held Swedish media conglomerate.Ingenito declined to discuss Transworld's finances, but she said that the publisher's seven action sports magazines reach 4 million readers per month.Employees put together four of the titles ---- including Transworld Surf, Transworld Skateboarding and Transworld Snowboarding ---- in the Oceanside office, she said.By moving to the Carlsbad building at 2052 Corte del Nogal, the company will gain about 2,000 square feet, Ingenito said. The company plans to build an indoor street-style skatepark there for company business and events.Cynthia Haas, Carlsbad's economic development manager, said she wasn't aware of Transworld's plan but was "thrilled to hear they're coming.""I think it's a great fit for Carlsbad," Haas said. "We've sort of become a little bit of a recreation capital."For Marc Hostetter, Transworld's creative director, the move will be "bittersweet."The new ZIP code is great, he said, but it'll be tough to leave the eclectic Oceanside offices, where knickknacks abound and cubicles have been fashioned from multicolored hollow-core doors."There's just something blue-collar about this place," he said Tuesday.Balma said she recently stopped by to help inventory pieces of Transworld history ---- trophies, vintage banners, shelves made from the scrap wood of skateboard legend Tony Hawk's old Fallbrook ramp ---- that should be moved to the new digs."We're not going to throw anything away just yet," Hostetter said. "Some day there may be a Transworld museum."Contact staff writer Craig TenBroeck at (760) 901-4062 or ctenbroeck@nctimes.com.[xcomponent:paragraphs:3]-->

Koi Fishing At Uncle Doug's

As Jill boarded the plane Friday on her way to Anne's, a gentleman in the front row commented that she looked a lot like Laura Bush. You be the judge? They both have short hair, love wine, wear fingernail polish. Don't know whether Jill sports a tooo?

Anne showed Jill "The Paddles" before she left
