Ice Cream
Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It may be made from milk or cream and is flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit such as strawberries or peaches. It can also be made by whisking a flavored cream base and liquid nitrogen together. Food coloring is sometimes added, in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures (below ). It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases. The meaning of the name "ice cream" varies from one country to another. In some countries, such as the United States, "ice cream" applies only to a specific variety, and most governments regulate the commercial use of the various terms according to the relative quantities of the main in ...

Honolulu Weekly
''Honolulu Weekly'' was an alternative weekly newspaper published in Honolulu, Hawaii. Founded by Laurie V. Carlson, it began publishing in the summer of 1991, ostensibly to fill gaps in investigative reporting left by the two main dailies, ''Honolulu Star-Bulletin'' and ''The Honolulu Advertiser'', which were under a joint operating agreement at the time, but creating new gaps in taste and perspective. In May 2005 the ''Weekly'' acquired the Kona-based ''Hawaii Island Journal''. The Hawaii Island Journal published its last issue on Friday, June 13, 2008. The ''Honolulu Weekly'' published its final issue on June 5, 2013, and ceased operations.
