Other types of mites are also found in pet birds. Air sac or tracheal mites are commonly found in canaries and finches, but will occasionally infest budgies, cockatiels or other parrots. Feather mites may be found on pet birds, most often parrots. They tend to be found on immunocompromised birds. Many are non-pathogenic; however others may cause skin or feather damage. Red mites, also called Dermanyssus sp. mites, are insects that feed on blood at night. During the day, they crawl off to sleep in cracks and crevasses in and around the cage, so they will not be seen if the infested bird is examined during the day.
Mites are detected by examining skin scrapings or by using sticky tape that entraps the mites. In some cases, the mites may be seen moving around on the bird's skin or feathers, and they also may result in stress bars on flight feathers. Magnification and a strong, focal light source are helpful in identifying mite infestation.Young birds are more commonly affected than adults, though birds of any age can have mites. Canaries infested with mites on their feet and legs may have proliferative lesions, also called tassel-foot. Some types of mites will result in feather damage or loss. Mites infesting the trachea, air sacs, bronchi or sinuses of certain birds can cause weight loss, change or loss of vocalizations, clicking respiratory sounds, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, open-mouthed breathing or even death in severe infestation. Birds infested with these mites often perform beak-wiping on perches or cage wire, and this may be one way that mites transfer from one bird to another. Red mites can bite humans when severe infestation occurs, involving mites that have infested furniture, carpeting, drapes or other household items. Since the mite only feeds on the bird at night, it crawls off during the day to reproduce and inhabit.
If you see mites on your bird, or if your bird develops powdery lesions on the face, around the beak, eyes, feet or vent you should have your bird evaluated by an avian vet who will diagnose the cause of the problem. Birds with red mites will often appear agitated or restless at night, and they may also appear itchy (called pruritis), and with severe infestation, they may become anemic or debilitated. Humans sharing environmental space with infested birds may develop small red, itchy spots from red mite bites. It may be necessary to bring the bird in to the avian vet in its cage, as red mites won't be visible on the infested birds during daytime, but may be found in the cage.
After diagnosis, the bird will be treated with appropriate medication, and the cage and environment will also need to be treated in some cases. Follow-up treatments are necessary to eradicate the mites, so commitment and diligence in making all veterinary appointments is required. Sometimes both topical and systemic medications are utilized to best eradicate mites. Because the most effective medication to treat mite infestation must be dosed precisely, based on the bird's body weight in grams, an owner should not attempt treatment without the supervision of an avian veterinarian. Over-the-counter mite treatments won't take into account the life-cycle of the different parasites and will not be effective for certain infestations.
While scaly mites are not considered to be very contagious, it is recommended that all of the birds in a cage are treated if one is diagnosed with scaly mites. This is most commonly a disease of young birds, so if an adult bird suddenly develops scaly mites, this may be a sign of an underlying disease process (infection, tumor, etc.) that causes suppression of the immune system allowing the mites to proliferate unchecked. Mite protectors, sold commercially in some pet retailer facilities, are not helpful in preventing or controlling infestations. These are composed of paradichlorobenzene, or mothballs, which are carcinogenic when inhaled over a period of time and may also cause liver damage. Exposure to these fumes can be very dangerous and this product should not be used as a mite protector.
Scaly mites may cause deformity of the beak if the infestation is not caught and treated promptly. If the beak becomes misshapen, then it will require periodic trimming for the rest of the bird's life, most likely. Also, scaly mites in some cases are never completely eradicated, and will require life-long periodic treatments.

HOME>Press Release>Text
Tokyo November 13, 2007: On December 18, 2007, JAL will open up new passenger check-in counters at Narita Airport Terminal 2 - the airline's main international hub - as part of its overall aim of reducing average passenger waiting times by approximately 50% during peak hours. The airline will completely renovate both existing First Class and Executive Class counters. New counters will be established exclusively for the use of the airline's frequent flyers who are either JAL Global Club (JGC) or JMB Sapphire members. JAL will also unveil brand new Support Counters dedicated to servicing the needs of priority guests, such as passengers with disabilities, passengers traveling with babies or expectant mothers. The improvements will enable JAL to provide its passengers with a more convenient, user-friendly, stress free check-in experience at the airport.
First Class Counters
JGC Counters
Executive Class Counters
Support Counters
Based on the principle of Universal Design, counters will be lower, low chairs will be provided, and handrails and walking stick holders will be incorporated to make the new check-in area as user-friendly as possible.Universal Design is an approach to the design of products, services and environments to be usable by as many people as possible regardless of age, ability or situation.
Furthermore, at the counters, passengers will be tended to by specially trained staff, and will also be able to rent baby cars and wheelchairs for use inside the airport.
Improvements to the check-in counters form just one part of JAL's efforts to strengthen customer service at Narita Airport Terminal 2. On July 19 2007, JAL unveiled two completely revamped JAL First Class and JAL Sakura lounges at the terminal's main building, both featuring a buffet-style hot meal service, stylish bar-counters, resident professional masseuses, and shower rooms. To reduce customer waiting times at check-in areas, JAL also plans to increase the number of check-in counters from 91 to about 140 later this year; increase the number of Self Check-in Machines (SCM) from 23 to about 70 by spring 2008, and in the future renew all economy class counters and establish e-style check-in areas fitted only with Self Check-in Machines (SCM).

Board for Peter Rabbit's Race Game,
C Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd,
Museum no. MISC.41-1977.
Reproduced by permission of Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd.
This game is based on characters created by Beatrix Potter. The game is for two to four players. Each player chooses to be either Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Jeremy Fisher or Jemima Puddleduck. With the use of a dice the players take turns to 'race' round the path on the board. They may land on parts of the path that give either penalties or bonuses, all of which come with stories relating to different Beatrix Potter characters.

The Jewish grantmaker Slingshot released its ninth annual guide to the 50 North American Jewish organizations it considers the most innovative on Thursday, adding two supplemental guides in order to encourage under-represented categories to apply.
There are 18 new organizations in the main guide, among them JOIN for Justice, a community organizing group, and the guide's first day school, The Isaac Luria Academy. (The author sends her children to the Luria Academy.)
The supplements, Disabilities & Inclusion and Women & Girls, also each include 18 organizations that support those populations, such as the Sunflower Bakery, a kosher bakery in Maryland that employs people with disabilities, Ramah's Tikvah Network of camps serving and employing people with disabilities and, in the Women & Girls category, the Jewish Women's Archive and Advancing Women Professionals.
"The supplements are meant to go narrow and deep," Will Schneider, Slingshot's director, told the Jewish Week.
A panel of 83 professionals with expertise in grant-making and Jewish life determines the contents of the guide using creativity, impact, leadership and effectiveness as criteria. Philanthropists, especially those who are interested in the Jewish "start-up sector" of new organizations, use the guides to make funding decisions.
In addition to the 50 groups in the main section, the guide also includes 17 "standard bearers" – more established organizations that tend to be included year after year, like Sixth and I Historic Synagogue in Washington, D.C. and Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice.
Slingshot saw an increase of about 8 percent in applications, to "somewhere in the 200 and teens," Schenider said. The organization will not release the exact number of applicants.
"There is a lot of turnover among the organizations," Schneider said. "The profile of Moishe House is not going to change dramatically year over year, but there's a lot of new things to say about other organizations."

Enter WhitherApps
Previously I blog about Sencha and did mentioned about the advantages of building mobile web apps as compared to native client apps. HTML5 has great potential in building mobile we apps and James Pearce is ready to show us that potential. He and "his team" started WhitherApps.
WhitherApps is a bandwagon-busting experiment. I believe there are far too many native client apps which could have been far better written as mobile web apps. What we're going to try and do is take a few examples, apply a little reverse-engineering, and rewrite them, warts and all, with web technologies.
The first project for the team is to rewrite the BBC News iPhone/iPad app into a web app based on HTML5. He has already started 3 blog post on the BBC News apps, Part1, Part2 and Part3. If you see the screenshot below he has gotten pretty far.
If you are into HTML5 and mobile apps developer I recommend you to read his blog and follow his journey to rewrite the BBC News apps. Although native client apps will not wither away, I am sure to see more of such project.
jq Nearby Tweet Plugin
After I did the Nearby Tweet makeover, I kinda ran out of idea. But the past few days, I looked into making it more alive and more dynamic. The result is my very own Nearby Tweet Stream. I am sure if stream is the right word, but it does looks like it. This time my prototype is using jQuery (1.4.2) and created a plugin. Wohoo!!
The idea is kinda simple and first plugin. I used 2 set of timer, (1) to retrieve the nearby tweet and store it into queue and (2) to retrieve from queue and display. Did a sketch below
The plugin is still in its infant state and only accept geolocation as parameter. I thought of registering it into jq plugin repository later, for now testing and more testing. The minified version is available here and you can see it live at jqNearByTweetStream. (For better experience, try it in HTML5-ready browser as it requires geolocation).
Here is an example of how to use the plugin.
As you can see above, It is very simple to use the plugin. Must find time to update the plugin, wait for new release ho…ho…ho. Do leave comment if you like the plugin🙂
JQuery Mobile Project
Finally, JQuery teams embark into Mobile JS Framework. On the 11 Aug 10, John Resig announced the JQuery Mobile Project. http://jquerymobile.com/
The jQuery project is really excited to announce the work that we've been doing to bring jQuery to mobile devices. Not only is the core jQuery library being improved to work across all of the major mobile platforms, but we're also working to release a complete, unified, mobile UI framework
I have been fan of JQuery and look forward to the Mobile version. The framework will work on all popular smarphone and tablet platforms such as Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Palm WebOS, Symbian, MeeGo and Bada.
So far, there are a few others who are in beta now for example Sencha Touch and YUI 3.2. Let's see which one will be the lightest and fastest.
Progressive Enhancement using EnhanceJS
The first time I read about designing with progressive enhancement, I was a bit confuse. So, I did a bit of digging around and I find it interesting. You can call Progressive Enhancement t a coding methodology and it is simple in theory: start with the basic and standard HTML only pages to ensure that any browser and device are able to render it in a usable way. Then, when the browser and device understand the style and script, enhance the page by adding the style and script layer.
The idea address concern from the 2 camps, the web developer and web designer. The designer wants to put the latest styles and technology to beautify the page while the developers concern about cross-browser and cross-device compatibility. By testing the browser capabilities, we can target which enhanced experience to layer into the page. One thing I learnt about progressive enhancement is you have think of the site in layer of enhancement, you must structure styles and script to ensure they are loaded proper order. That is the challenging part. :)
The idea to progressively enhance the site is from the Filament Group and they developed a framework for testing those browser capabilities. The library is EnhanceJS.
Let's see how the concept work in code. In the script below, you see how the test work. If you pass the test you will get the "enhanced" styles and scripts. You can even have conditional test for IE. You no longer need to write those "complex" script find out the user agent and browser 's behaviors. It is clearner also.

The other useful feature of the framework is it is extensible. You can add your own browser capability test. Btw, EnhanceJS does not test HTML5 features this is where the "add test" come handy. You can integrate EnhanceJS and Modernizr or write your own test for that. A simple example below;
  <title> 2D drawing with Canvas </title>       Using EnhanceJS to check canvas.

   //source for enhancements.js function draw() { var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"); var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"); ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(200,0,0)"; ctx.fillRect (10, 10, 55, 50); ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(0, 0, 200, 0.5)"; ctx.fillRect (30, 30, 55, 50); } $(document).ready(function(){ $('#canvasPanel').html('<canvas id="canvas" width="300" height="300"></canvas>'); draw(); }); // end document ready

between $27.99 and $28.90!
Another 376,000 shares added this week between $31 and $34.http://www.insider-alerts.com/Data/20120516/0001144204-12-030164.xml
Accumulation is happening for all the right reasons.
And that was Julian's indirect purchase as a Director. But, Baker Bro's. et al since May 1 purchased (indirectly) another 9.6 million shares, and at market rates. Talk about bullish!! Ya gotta know they are preparing the company for a sale (eventually), and they will get a huge premium to the current share price.
Why do you assume at a premium. His average cost is so low that he could "take under" the company, down from the current price, and still make a huge profit. If he can find a buyer that will pay a premium, fine, but do not assume that he will be looking out for your interest.
not shares.but Money worth.Does anyone know the % of the company BB own?
I love Juian Baker.How much of this company do they own? Can they sell it?like ARDEA and others?Is that their intent?

Florida State Position Preview: Quarterbacks
Position Preview: Quarterbacks
Key Player Lost:?Jacob Coker
Key Players Returning:?John Franklin III, Sean Maguire?and Jameis Winston?
Key Newcomer: J.J.?Cosentino
Biggest question entering 2014: Who will be the backup quarterback?
Last summer the headlines out of Tallahassee were dominated by the ongoing quarterback battle. Jump forward a year and there is no question who will be under center week one. Jameis Winston is?the defending Heisman trophy winner and led Florida State to a national championship in his first season as a starter. It is not quite as clear who will be the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart though. Jacob Coker served as Winston's backup for most of the 2013 season, but he will be spending his summer competing for the starting job at Alabama.
Redshirt sophomore Sean Maguire? is the only quarterback other than?Winston with game experience.?Maguire started 2013 as the third-string quarterback, but he moved to ?No.2 on the depth chart after Coker suffered a?season ending injury against Wake Forest. Maguire completed 61.9 percent of his passes last season for 116 yards and two touchdowns. He spent the spring working as the?No. 2 quarterback, but he failed to win over coaches with his performance.
Maguire is still the favorite to win the backup job, but he will face some stiff competition during fall camp. Maguire's main challenger for the job looks to be incoming freshman J.J.?Cosentino.? A?4-star recruit out of Pittsburgh Cosentino was one of the top pro-style quarterbacks in the nation according to Rivals.com. Maguire's biggest advantage over?Cosentino will be his knowledge of the play book. Maguire is entering his third season in Jimbo Fisher's system while?Cosentino has only been on campus a couple of months.
Position Breakdown
Florida State will enter 2014 with one of the top players in the nation running the offense. Quarterback Jameis Winston took the nation by storm during the 2013 season becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman trophy and a national championship in the same season. With Winston at the helm Florida State set multiple ACC records including??points per game (51.6) and yards ?per play (7.67). The Seminoles also set a national record for points in a season with 723.
Winston is an immensely talented quarterback who can make any throw on the field. ?He has the arm strength and accuracy to attack the defense down field. He also has the touch and timing needed to fit the ball in tight widows and place the ball where only his receivers can get it. Winston ability is not limited to physical gifts though. He?excels at the mental side of the game and his ability to read defenses and go through multiple reads are two of the main reasons media pundits list him as a top NFL prospect.
Quarterbacks coach?Randy Sanders and head coach Jimbo Fisher-a quarterback guru in his own right- have spent the off-season tweaking Winston's mechanics ?and the changes should help him be even better in 2014. Along with a few mechanics issues Winston also needs to work on checking down to the running back instead of forcing the deep throw. With the changes and the talent around him, Winston should be a main contender for the Heisman once again.
As detailed above redshirt sophomore Sean Maguire and freshman J.J.?Cosentino are expected to spend the summer battling for the No. 2 job behind Winston. The odd man out looks to be redshirt freshman John Franklin III. Franklin is a?very athletic player and it is expected that he will eventually make a position change.

Sharks close in on Braid
Posted by Graham Jenkins on 12/01/2012
Sale Sharks are thought to be closing in on the signature of former All Blacks flanker Dan Braid. The Premiership strugglers revealed this week that they were trailing an ex-New Zealand international who they hoped would bolster their survival efforts but would not be drawn on their identity. However, it has since emerged that Braid could be poised for a Premiership switch having failed to secure a new Super Rugby contract with the Auckland-based Blues earlier this month.

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving with family and friends. We enjoyed our day, although I'll admit that I'm a bit exhausted after yesterday's festivities. Normally, I shop the day after Thanksgiving. But this year, I was able to do all my shopping last night from the comfort of my own couch. It was pretty awesome.
But, now it's the countdown towards the second week of Dare to DIY. I was impressed by all the projects last week, so I'm truly looking forward to seeing your tables. Remember, the link-up will go live on Monday morning. Will you dare?
Since I didn't host Thanksgiving, we are transitioning to Christmas at the Woodwards. I took this challenge with the hope of making our holiday table coordinate with the dining room colors – grey, yellow and turquoise. Particularly importance since the majority of my boxes and boxes of holiday decorations are red. So, this is what I would call an untraditional holiday table.
Although this is very conducive to DIY projects because it is truly impossible to find Christmas items in yellow. Trust me. I've looked.
So, my projects were relatively simple to pull together a table. My goals were:
- To pull in the colors from the dining room and not compete with them.
- To use my pretty blue Ball jars.
- To spend little (or no) money.
- To make the table look fun and not too formal.
I'm looking forward to seeing your entertaining projects on Monday. If you want more Dare to DIY inspiration, check out my co-hosts' projects at Decor and the Dog, Maybe Matilda and Two Twenty One.

Verizon Wireless Complaint
Reduced mobile phone access for same price - Mobile internet
N. Windham Ct.
After being a "basic" customer with Verizon for about 8 years, with 450 minutes a month. I upgraded my phone in Aug. 2006 to one that had internet capabilities. Since I didn't use the phone often I was reluctant to purchase a plan that had a lot of minutes, but wanted to try life on the high tech side. I was told that if I didn't use the minutes or services, I would be able to change the plan. I signed up for a plan that gave me 900 minutes a month so I could play with my new toy and see if it was worth the extra cost of the extended service and time. I was able to access my personal mail at the hospital where I do volunteer consulting, my home account with my ISP, as well as Hotmail & Yahoo that were preprogrammed in the phone's menu. There were also several news and sports sites preprogrammed in the phone. I was able to use the internet to go to different sites I was able to add as "favorites" for information. (sports – weather – news etc.) I ended up only using about 200 minutes max. I kept the plan in the event that when I got to experience the "bells & whistles" I would use them more often. Time passed and I didn't use the minutes I had been paying for.
In the spring of 2007 Verizon changed their programming, and all I was able to access on the web were the preprogrammed sites on the phones menu. This change was done without any notice or change in service fees. I no longer had access to the hospital or my home e-mail or the web sites of my choice. I visited the local store several times and they agreed that there was a problem. The phone store employees contacted tech support and a "Trouble Ticket" was initiated. I received a call from Verizon "Tech Support" a few days later. Their response in essence was, "Yep there's a problem – Nope we can't fix it – Oh well such is life". I received a survey by mail. I completed it and returned it indicating since they had not fixed the on line problem and changed my usage capabilities with no warning, explanation, or reduction in charges, I was unhappy with their service and was doubtful I would renew my service with Verizon when my contract was up in the summer of 2008.
I returned to the store and reduced the minutes, as I had been told I could do, a year earlier. I received a letter from Verizon confirming my change, and extending my contract by one year because I made the change. I returned to the store and asked why I got the extension. I was told, " it's their policy". I told them I was told I could reduce my minutes when I bought the phone and package. I was told that it was correct, I can change my plan anytime I want, but each change is accompanied by a one year extension. They apologized for not explaining that policy when I purchased the plan, and when I changed the service. I could change the plan back to what it was and they'll remove the extension. I called Verizon Customer Service and got the same results.
I understand I agreed to the contract for the services and 900 minutes. I purchased the plan with the understanding I could change it if I didn't need the additional minutes or want the additional services. Their programming change reduced the usefulness of the phone and reduced the time I use it. I do not think it is fair I have to pay for the extra minutes I was told I could reduce or to have to pay for a plan that is not what it was when I agreed to it without having to agree to an extra year of their service..
There is a suit filled in Minn. by the Atty. General against Sprint for the same practice. I brought a printed copy of the article and explained this to the clerk at the Phone Store. His response was, It's our current policy, if it changes next week we'll do what ever the new policy says.

An Evocative, Metaphorical Name That Rewards Curiosity
There are thousands of Internet radio stations, but only one with the amazing name of Pandora. You probably know the story. In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman, who, possessed with the gift of curiosity, couldn't refrain from opening a jar–which in later stories became a box–full of dangerous gifts from the gods, thus unleashing evil into the world. Like Eve's lust for apples, another strong-willed woman had opened up a can of worms for humanity; such are the fears of men, apparently.
You can easily imagine how a theoretical corporate naming committee might have dismissed this name: "We have a cool Internet radio product, but it's sometimes buggy — the last thing we need is a name that suggests a whole lot of headaches are in store for users who 'open' the app." Or, "Pandora is a woman's name, so it skews the brand too much toward the female, and our users are 75% male." Powerful names, however, transcend such literal and "negative" meanings, and Pandora instead promises to reward the curious listeners who use the service to discover new music. A bold service that demonstrates its boldness by having a bold, memorable name that also maps strongly to the idea of curiosity.
Such an evocative name works not in spite of its meaning, but because of it, and, crucially, because its meaning in some way runs counter to the literal function of the brand ("opening" the app shouldn't release "evil"). When the metaphorical associations of an evocative name are employed merely as symbolic shorthand toward a "deeper meaning," such as the moon named Pandora in the movie Avatar, the name can easily degenerate into cliche ("if we 'open' the planet Pandora for exploitation, we'll unleash the evil in our cold, capitalists hearts").
And don't forget your mythology. After Pandora inadvertently let all the evil out of her "box," one precious thing remained inside: hope. "Hope is the thing with feathers," wrote Emily Dickinson famously, "That perches in the soul." Pandora gives hope to companies every day that powerful, evocative names can set brands free from their bland, sound-alike competitors. Let that knowledge perch in your marketing soul.
[ Pandora ]

Having beat Premier League leaders Chelsea last weekend, Manchester United proved they've got what it takes to top the league come Christmas.
Despite their defensive issues, the Red Devils—like they have all season—displayed a cutting edge in attack and a slick control of the game in midfield.
With their away form swashbuckling at times and their home form inevitably set to improve, combined with the indifferent showings from their rivals, United are in with a good shout of topping the table earlier than usual.
Here are five reasons why fans should be optimistic of Manchester United sitting atop the Premier League by the end of December.

Audio: Jon Cooper On Lightning, Sabres Pregame
Tampa Bay Lighting head coach Jon Cooper talked with the media about his thoughts before his team takes on the Buffalo Sabres. He talks about the absence of Martin St. Louis as well as the addition of Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan. He also talks about how he thinks Stamkos will perform.
"Same group of guys, there's only one guy missing. A major piece of what's missing but it's different for sure. I think there's so many different side stories of Callahan's debut, Stammer's debut."

Astrometry.net has set a ginormous goal for itself, and may be live this coming spring.
The project will take any image, professional and amateur, of the night sky and match it against a database to determine the celestial objects in that image as well as its location in the sky as a whole.
The thought is that there are many times more amateurs out there than large telescopes and arrays and that a standardized way to meta-tag all this data would help astronomers to track the motions of the heavens. Doing so would allow these amateur images to be part of actual research an provide a channel for giving credit back to the original observer.

Mariscos Germán has been operating taco trucks in San Diego for years, but when its azure-tinted restaurant in Logan Heights shut down, the proprietors stepped up their truck business. It's increasingly difficult to go anywhere in town without stumbling over a Mariscos Germán truck. Anywhere that folks appreciate Mexican seafood, at least. I've been to various locations and found the offerings consistent at each one. Last weekend I made a point of stopping at two of them, one at
Prices aren't listed on the menu, so ask before you buy - my large-sized coctél de pulpo (not pictured) cost ten bucks and was more than I needed to eat - a small should be enough for one. It didn't take much effort to get it down though - the octopus was firm but not chewy - exactly what I was hoping for, and the cool, spicy broth made for unbeatable refreshment on a sweltering day. My friend had a taco de cayo, which I sampled. It was tasty for sure (who doesn't like scallops?) but definitely the wettest of their tacos, and it failed the "soggy tortilla" test.
One of the most celebrated items at Mariscos Germán is the Taco del Gobernador (shrimp and cheese) but after my years in Italy I have maintained an aversion to mixing cheese and seafood. I made an exception to this rule, however, for their tacos de marlyn, without question the star of the menu. With smoked marlin piled over melted cheese and crisp-sauteéd celery, onion and bell pepper, one of these is a square meal in itself, and at under four dollars, that's really saying something. The marlin is rich but not overwhelmed by smoke flavor, and the portion is so ample you really need a fork to eat this taco. Smoked fish fans should be cautioned that these tacos may move you to tears: I found myself alternating between utter disbelief that my senses had found such delight at a truck in a dusty parking lot and the ecstatic certainty that yes, this kind of experience can only be found at a truck in a dusty parking lot.
*Mariscos German no longer has a truck on University Ave, but their trucks CAN be found in South Park, Logan Heights, Spring Valley and Chula Vista.
