'Round about midnight, The three x-men open with a group routine. First up, Precision does a sick scratchin'/junglin' solo on the "Vinyl" turntable set-up, changing the record while scratchin' the other, and gettin' his name on the map. The X-men are rockin' Final Scratch switching places jungling records and spinning around. Second up, Rob Swift steps up and tells eveyone to put a fist in the air for his legendary P.E. 1 set. The crowd is mad-amped & screaming from all the scratchin' and loud bass rythym/cuts from the thump. Now, Total Eclipse does his routine on final scratch, "Ante-up." to "Senario." The Executioners are making songs with junglin' two turntablez and scratchin' with Hip Hop vengence (like they nevered stopped since 1992). Thanks to Mr. E because this is how it should be done. We all want to see skillz.

Peace. Alot of people are asking 'whats up with ALL the candle Avatars?'

Well, aside from why it started, I think it's important for everyone who believes in PEACE, stands for freedom, equality, and against the injustice happening in the world right now, to let it be known & be part of this 'Myspace Vigil'. For the people that have passed and are dying right now... R.I.P.

My love, & prayers are with you & yours. Alot of people are dying right now, not just in Iraq, not just in Israel/Palestine, but World wide. Darfur, the Congo, China, South America, name a place...even in Ethiopia going into Somalia..damn!!!

WORLD WAR was inevitable,....

Too many warmongers at the helm!!! The Entire world is screwed up with war corporatism, hate, and injustice. I believe that people need to recognize, NOW, that they're not alone. That the Masses, aren't sleeping, and are awake, and do need to see that united, even in our ideals and hopes for peace, we have STRENGTH & numbers, & power, & conscience, to stand up & make a difference, however large or small.

We can no longer sit complacent silent in our opposition to this corruption, I dont know how its going to happen, but a change needs to happen soon. we need to support, & recognize, that there are A LOT of us, who know the truths, who want PEACE, and believe in creating a better world.

I know Im not alone! & I'm letting you know I'm right beside you in wanting a change, This candle is just a small symbol of that. If you do support or believe in Peace, want Justice in our global society, and people to know the truth, please support that & make one of these candles your default pic on myspace

Papalotes burritos are rendered with such mechanical consistency, some have wondered if theres a mustachioed robot assembling them in an unseen corner of their tiny kitchen. The surprising, yet deserved champion of the 2004 SF Burrito Playoffs, Papalote has become the quietly infallible kingpin of the Missions vaunted taqueria scene slightly off the beaten path, humbly sized, family operated, and a sure thing every time. Pancho Villa may have the security guard and the gymnasium-like dining hall, La Taqueria may have the tacky neon sign proclaiming it the greatest thing since sliced sesos, and Can-cn may have the misguided hipster cred. Papalote steamhammers them all. Make sure you specify a foil wrap, or else you'll get a naked burrito on your plate. Rotating art exhibits on display. Breakfast available.

San Francisco's Mission District: Eclectic, Eccentric, Electric

By GREGORY DICUM Published: November 20, 2005

FROM the rooftop patio of Medjool, a new restaurant in the Mission district of San Francisco, the entire neighborhood is laid out like a flamboyant mosaic. Ranks of painted ladies - San Francisco's ornate wooden Victorians - rise to Twin Peaks in the west, the hills that block the city's infamous fog and make the Mission one of the city's warmest and sunniest neighborhoods. This terrace is the perfect spot for watching the cottony wave of evening fog roll into downtown, for the sky in the Mission remains crystalline. The Pirate Supply Store, which carries eyepatches and doubloons. At the intersection below, an animated scene of daily life unfolds: sidewalk vendors sell yucca flowers and avocados, blue-haired anarchist daddies push strollers, young men loiter at the corner, Central American housewives and vegan lesbian tattoo artists shop for fresh handmade tortillas. "I try to get anybody coming to San Francisco to come to the Mission," said Dave Eggers, the best-selling author who set up the first of his community writing schools here. "Not to misuse the word 'authentic' - I think that's such a troubling word - but the Mission really does have all the best parts of San Francisco intersecting here." "The Mission is the burrito vortex," said Charles Hodgkins, who has visited every one of the city's more than 150 taquerias - nearly a third of them are in the Mission - rating each burrito for his Web site, burritoeater.com. Peter DaSilva for The New York Times The Papalote Taqueria, which is known for its veggie burrito. The unsectarian burrito orthodoxy underlies a culinary aesthetic that prizes inventiveness and tradition in equal measure. Thus, the Mission is host to inspired restaurants like Delfina on 18th Street and Osha on Valencia Street that bring an urbane California sensibility to the cuisines of Tuscany and Bangkok respectively. By the same token, Limn, on Valencia Street, brings Peruvian food the attention it deserves with ceviche as precious as the finest sushi, but with the added appeal of a sparkling bite that sends shivers though a diner's body.

Caf Gratitude, 2400 Harrison Street at 20th, (415) 824-4652.
