2003: The Year in
Review
A.
You know, if you had told me a short year ago, that I would have a Remembrance
section on this site, and that 3 people, and YOUNG PEOPLE at that, would have
been added to it, I wouldn't of believed you. But its true. It just
goes to show me, and everyone out there, that tomorrow isn't promised to ANYONE.
Recap: It's
been a year when the U.S. has gone to war, and lost hundreds of its young
soldiers. A year where Iraq has lost thousands of ITS young
soldiers. A year when spider hole became a house hold name, and a picture
of an unkempt tyrant filled the airwaves. It's been a year when millions
of people went through a blackout.
We
watched with horror as 7 brave astronauts disappeared over the Texas sky.
We
witnessed the fall to earth of Kobe Bryant, and the rise of one Lebron
James. We witnessed the conclusion of possibly the greatest movie trilogy
of all time, and SO, SO MUCH MORE.
What
is in store for us in 2004? We shall see.
B.
As you know, Susan didn't update on Friday. She has come down with the
flu. Hopefully we'll have her back in time for her next update. Dr.
Lao recommends the Tropicana Pure Premium. C.
In other IPF news, Vinod is moving to a correspondent role. WHAT,
you ask? Well, instead of writing on the weekends, Vinod will be writing
more pieces for The IndaPhatFarm Post, as well as conducting interviews.
Let me ease all concerns, Vinod isn't going anywhere, he is just moving into
this different role. D.
NFL PLAYOFFS
2003:
Brett Favre. You know, I live in a supposed "football
town". But in reality, I live in a town with some professional
football chumps. People that look at themselves every week and can't
figure out why their not winning. Well, you know what, let me point them
in the direction of one Brett Favre.
 This
man played football on Monday Night, just a few hours after his father
died. If he didn't play that night, NO
ONE would
of thought any less of him, BUT
HE PLAYED.
Not only did he play, he played a HUGE game, and won it for his team (who
amazingly, are now in the playoffs). One word, Legend. Along
with the Green Bay Packers, I have to go with a different MD team, the Baltimore
Ravens. Lewis and Lewis, as in Ray and Jamal are men among
boys. Also, Brian Billick is one heck of a coach. In
conclusion, I know I've been hard on the Redskins this year, but I'm going to
stick with them. The Skins have got the best fans in the country, and
the BEST FIGHT SONG, and I believe that one day, ONE
DAY, they
will make us proud. Having said that though, I stand by my previous
statements in that Steve Spurrier HAS TO GO. He is too
laid back to coach in the NFL. Happy
New Year everybody. Expect BIG THINGS in 2004.

Five Card Tango,
NY Revivals, C & D
A.
Merry Christmas to all, and boy do I have a gift for you. Can you say, NEW
MEDIA?. Justin V has done it
again. 100% credit goes to Justin
(Vinod's brother)
and his crew. This guy has got
some serious talent on showcase. Word of warning, this file is 21
MB's, so if
any of you are still using dial-up, if
you start dling now, you may have it by Christmas.
More
media to come. B.
NY Revivals. I'll save the big recap for NY natives Binu and Vinod. But
overall, it was a good trip, and I came away more encouraged. (even though I wasn't feeling the traffic around the
Verrezano and Goethals bridges). But still, it was good to see
everybody. C.
FYI: YAR 2004 will be held on January 2-4.
 D.
It's a Wonderful Life: You know, there aren't that many movies that are
timeless. But Jimmy Stewart's performance, and the overall feel of this
film is. It never seems to get old to watch. Merry
Christmas to all, and to all, a good night.

2nd Interview,
Saddam Fallout, C and D
A.. The
second of my special 2 week edition of The
Tonight Show,
has been posted. Be sure to check out Stan T's interview.
B.. More
Fallout from Saddam. You know, if you didn't know about Saddam,
you'd almost feel sorry for the guy. Those sagging cheeks and those
defeated eyes. The look of complete bewilderment. That is, until you
realize that this man has killed hundreds of thousands of people. There
is one thing I don't get though. Why did Saddam allow himself to be taken
alive? He spent his whole life perfecting this
image of a powerful person, meant to terrify and thereby exploit his people. But
anyone that viewed the footage of him getting examined, (Say
ahhh Saddam),
would realize that in those few seconds, his life long image had been
shattered. Let's face it, his image was all he had left, and yet he didn't
fire a shot. Why would he allow himself to be embarrassed and laughed at
by the entire world? Hitler
knew that if he was ever caught, he would be paraded around the world in
complete humiliation, BEFORE he was publicly executed. I'm not glorifying
Hitler here, but you understand what I'm saying. What do you think? I
just find the whole thing curious. C
as in Christmas.. Ladies
and Gentlemen, be prepared. Five
Card Tango
makes its world premiere right here on IPF. Catch it next Monday, as my
Christmas gift to you.
D
as in Defeat.. A
few fans who remained near the end of the game threw snowballs at the home team,
according to Redskins players. "They should have thrown a glacier out
there" Smoot said. "We stunk. We stunk the place up.
They're tired of it. I'm tired of it." - Washington Post

"We Got
Him" - The Fall of Saddam
A.. Boy,
does he need a shape up. You know, its very fitting
that the tyrant, the man who built palaces and statues in his name, gassed and
murdered hundreds of thousands, is caught looking like a homeless bum, living in
a hole in the ground.
Come
interrogation time, hit him once for me guys.
B.. U.S.
intelligence is improving (but
has a long way to go).
Props to Tony Blair (a great leader, and probably the best speaker of recent
memory), and to George W, who stuck with it, and finally got his guy. GW,
by the way, is going to be extremely hard to beat in 2004.
C.. Stay
tuned for Vinod's Sunday Night Special.

A.. The

Thanks for your patience all, and I'm going to make it worth your wait. I
have an IPF special for you, available factory direct, straight to you, only for
the holidays. Today, Blessy Z has been interviewed, and Stan
T is lined
up for next

Keep it locked.
B.. Happy
100,000. This IPF milestone is worth mentioning b/c the last time I talked
about hits, we were at 10, 000. We've come a long way. Much Love. C.. Sick
of shoveling? Listen, I have
had it up to here
with shoveling
snow. If anybody out there has a snow blower, send it to me over IM.
Also, remember to delegate the workload. Let as many people as you can
enjoy the experience.
D.. Lastly,
I
received a phone call last night from a "certain person", that
proceeded to gloat about his Philadelphia Eagles. To this person, I have
only
THIS to say.

DC Revivals 2003:
Pics & Highlights
A.. Sup
all, hope everyone had a good weekend. I've got
93
pictures for
you from DC Revivals 2003. The
pics
have been divided up into 3 sections, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Shout
out to Paul Moses, and Shibu Thomas for sending me some of the pics from this
event. Enjoy.
B.. Overall,
I think the revivals were good. Here are the highlights:
The Bowlathon:
Yeah, Crystal wasn't kidding, she
won
out against
myself, Ben, Frank, and Sony. We had our humble pie that night.
Bible Reading:
I need to
read
my Bible more.
We can't call ourselves Christians unless we read and understand the Bible.
There is just no disputing it.
The Vengeance of
P-MO: Paul,
rest
easy man, we've
got your back.
The Grammy goes
to Ama P: I would dare to say that
no
one in DC has
done more for the youth choir than Ama.
Jello Pudding
Cake: I had the best cake I've tasted in a long time over the
weekend. It's cake mix that has
Jello pudding mix
in it, and it was coated with chocolate frosting. Mmmmmmmm. Is it
better than crescent rolls you ask? No. But even so, you will be
doing yourself a favor to make one.
C.. Lastly, for all
of Brenda's fans, have no fear, she will be updating on Friday.

Pillsbury
Crescent Rolls & JFK in 2004
A.. First
off, have a good Thanksgiving everybody, and remember that as you laugh it up
with family and friends, and are enjoying that stuffing and turkey, remember to
save me the last Pillsbury
crescent roll.
Lao has spoken.
B.. Would
you
have
voted for John F. Kennedy in 2004?
R ecently,
the History channel had a poll on their website to the effect of, “If JFK was
running for president in 2004, knowing full well about his personal exploits,
would you vote for him?”
70%
of the voters said they would.
JFK has
always been an
enigma
to me. On the one hand, he provided
the country with new hope, and a glimpse of what everyone can be, and on the
other hand, his personal life was anything but Camelot.
He
slept with enough women to make
Bill
Clinton look like a choir
boy. I mean, forget the fact that
he was married to one of the classiest, most beautiful, elegant woman ever
to walk the face of the earth.
On
the one hand, he’s a great speaker, and motivator, and on the other hand, one
wonders how far he would of gotten if not for his father’s pocket book.
He's an enigma,
difficult to read. I think cool detachment is a good description of
him. So, all in all, looking at him as a leader, was he a great
president? The answer is yes.
Would I vote for him in 2004
over
George W? I would have to say yes. Don't get me wrong, GWB is doing
the best job he can, and he's been under estimated at almost every turn.
But if you want to talk about leadership, and inspiring a nation in a time of
crisis, the nod has to go to JFK. Also, if you want to talk policy, JFK
was really one of the last
of the old conservative, and moderate Democrats. He would not fit in well
with the Dems of today.
C. As far as his
assassination goes, I believe that
Oswald
acted alone. Oswald
was a nobody, with no connections, a failing family, and a marxist
attitude. But he did have a gun, and he knew how to use it I think
people get caught up in the conspiracy when they ask themselves this
question:
"How can
someone as insignificant as Oswald (with a $12 dollar rifle) silence someone as
significant as JFK."
As hard as that
is to take. That is how it went down.

1st Annual Golden
Shoe Battle
A.
All right, this past weekend, I had the distinct pleasure of being involved in
the battle for the Golden
Shoe.
Although my team ended up losing to birthday boy Sam J, 5-2, we WERE
able to knock some opposing players out of the game. Sam, how's that
leg? Check out some pics:
 B.
as in BENGALS?. Cincinnati
has been the graveyard of countless NFL coaches and teams over the past 12
years. There have been more jokes cracked about the Bengals than in THE
history of The Tonight Show. But you know what they did on
Sunday? THEY
BEAT THE 9-0 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. You
know what the best part is? Chad Johnson, a receiver for the Bengals,
guaranteed the win. Unbelievable. You
know what the worst part is? The Bengals now have a better record then the
team I will no longer mention.
Stephen
Davis
got the last laugh after all.C.. Houston
Revival pics go up manana courtesy of one Brenda B. Don't even
think about changing the channel.

On the Table: Monday Afternoon
Sup
everyone. Hope you all are at least holding the fort on this Monday
afternoon. Hang in there, we'll do our best to get you through this
new
work
week.A.. I
am pleased to announce that Brenda
has begun work on a new piece in which she goes back in time and meets her great
grandmother. Look for it. B.. Also,
a new independent film, entitled "Five
Card Tango"
from Justin Varghese, is in the works. Look for it next month. C. The
situation in Iraq is getting worse with each passing day. I was listening
to Chris Core (a
local radio host on WMAL)
this past Friday, and he made some good points. The American people are
becoming obsessed with instantaneous results. People want this
"thing" in Iraq over with RIGHT NOW. Looking at the polls, a lot
of people seem un-willing to see this thing through. Here
is my take: there is no
quick fix to this.
You've got the foreign fighters streaming into Iraq now, ready for their jihad,
plus a population that has never seen the benefits of democracy and is therefore
skeptical. I supported the war, and I'm not going to back down from that,
and yes, the Bush administration could of done a better job in their post-war
planning. The
thing is, who can plan for EVERY
contingency? War is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved.
The Iraqi people, for instance, have had some major concerns, I mean if you
didn't have power or running water in your house for a few weeks, you'd be mad
as hell too. D.. Finally,
Joju/Betty's wedding pics will be up THIS
FRIDAY.
You have my word. Thanks for being patient.

A Disgusted
Redskins Fan
A. You
know what, forget the fact that we have no offensive line, and no pass
protection. Forget the fact that we have no
defensive line.
A sack? What is that? Forget the fact that our Quarterback (who, by
the way, is THE MAN)...
 ...will
be dead by the end of the season. Forget the fact that we have no
tacklers, and forget the fact that we have no
HEART.
Forget all of it. You know what gets me? WE
LOST TO THE COWBOYS...
Our
arch enemies gave us a butt whooping for the ages, and you know
what the worst part of it is? We could of won the
game! They gift wrapped it for us in the first half.
THEY
GAVE US 3 turnovers.
We couldn't of asked for a better script. But did we take
advantage of it? Noooooo.
Steve
Spurrier is not the man for the job in Washington. Say all you want about
him, but the Redskins aren't playing like a motivated team, and that reflects on
Steve Spurrier. I know stability is a concern in DC, but we haven't had a
winner roaming the sidelines since Joe
Gibbs.
We need some alternatives here. The Washington Redskins bring in more
revenue than any other team in the league, and for what? This is garbage,
and its unacceptable.
 Unless
something significant happens, I am done talking about the Redskins.
That's all folks.

F ootBrawl 2003
A. Here
in DC, playing football is akin to brushing our teeth. Can't live without
it. We'll hit you like LaVar Arrington and knock those Giants jersey's
right off your backs. "Chris,
is that a threat?" You
better believe it is.Now,
over the past decade there have been countless games played, with new
generations of players coming up every year. But up until today, there has
never been a pictorial record of the gladiators in the heat of battle.
Let's see who you recognize. ENJOY. Reminder: Most of
these pictures have been purposely left at their size to give you a better sense
of the field. Click on any of the pictures below to go to the actual
FootBrawl 2003 section with captions.
B.
KEEP
THE STREAK ALIVE: Today marks the 8th
consecutive day that IPF has been updated. What's so special about that

Update Schedule
A. When
v2003 was ringing in my head, I had one mandate that I was
determined to stick to. We need to have more consistent
updates.
Over the past 2 + months, I think we have held true to that. So, FYI, I
have broken down the weekly updates, and they are as follows:
Monday
:
Yours
Truly will be updating. Call me Chung. (MD) Tuesday
:
Brenda
and Susan will update, rotating every other week. (TX & MD) Wednesday
:
Binu
will be updating. Honda Accord still for sale. (NY) Thursday
: BENJ
FOR PRESIDENT. Benj's update day. (OH) Friday:
Crystal
will up updating twice a month with new Pictures. (MD) Weekend:
Live
from New York, its Saturday Night! Vinod's update day. (NY)
B.
Redskins
Falling Fast: The Bill's didn't just beat the Redskins on Sunday, they
KILLED US. They took our lunch money. They punched us in the mouth,
hit us over the head with a bat, and then called out our momma. Ok, I
think you get the idea. The
Skins are playing with NO
HEART,
NO
DRIVE,
NO
SENSE OF URGENCY.
Patrick Ramsey, one of the few players with some heart, will not last the
season. I'm going to call Steve Spurrier out on this one, its his job to
get his team motivated before the game. Just look at the Cowboys!
That team is not as talented as the Redskins, but b/c of Bill Parcells, they are
5-1.

 Why
the new webmasters, you ask? Well, we are dedicated to

should be a memorable run, this Tuesday.
Also, I will have the complete IPF update schedule for you on Monday. Look

C.
Bucs
35, Redskins
13. Yeah, I know. Not only did we get beat on
Sunday, the Bucs made Fedex Field their new home away from home. Patrick
Ramsey is getting slaughtered out there. You know how many times our QB's
were sacked in this game? 6 times. And the Bucs? 0.
That's right, NONE.You
put me in there at defensive end, and I will get you more pressure on the QB
than the Skins are getting right now . Bruce Smith needs to get his sack
record, and then the Redskins need to show him the door. It's
over.

The NFL Rundown &
New Power Rankings
A. I'm
pleased to announce the arrival of an all new section, The NFL Rundown.
Headed by Jonathan Flores, this weekly updated section is going to hit
all of you football fans like Ray Lewis, with in depth, and hard hitting
analysis of every week in the 2003 NFL season. The first issue premieres THIS
WEEK....
B.
Power Rankings: Ok, there has been a lot of smack and controversy about
which team is ranked where for the upcoming Tourney. Check out
Tourney
2004
for the new rankings. I think you'll find them pretty fair and
balanced. C.
Heart Attack 'Skins: The Washington Redskins are a good team.
They are. But they are giving their fans heart attacks. They doze
off for the first 3 quarters of every game, and then come alive when the
pressure is on in the 4th. In the case of our 27-25 loss to the Eagles, it
was too little, too late. We have to play a complete game. Also,
the penalties are killing us. When we have 6 false starts in a game, we
don't deserve to win. This is really becoming a problem and we're losing
games b/c of it. I think Steve Spurrier needs to get in the faces of his
players that are screwing up. Just shrugging it off, and getting
frustrated isn't going to cut it.

New Interview &
Tourney 2003 Officially Cancelled
A.
Interview #12 with
Sona G has been posted in
The Tonight Show.
Make sure you check it out.
B.
Ok, after careful deliberation, Tourney
2003 has been
cancelled in
favor of Tourney 2004, and here is why. Chicago, Houston, and
Newark, have all stated that they can't make it for an '03 Tourney
b/c many players are in school, which is completely understandable.
Having said that, ALL of the churches have expressed the desire for a
SUMMER 2004 TOURNEY.
Now some of you will
say,
why don't we just have
a tourney with the teams that will play?.
The problem with that is, whoever wins the Tourney will have a stigma on their
title b/c not every team played. So their legitimacy will be questioned.
Notice how even now Chi-town and H-town question Philly's 2002 title.
Who wants that? If your the best, you need to play in a tourney where all
teams are present. This way,
no
one can question
any team's title run. Make sense?
Also, we're not
talking 1-2 teams here that can't make it, 3 churches have confirmed that they
can't come, and I have been informed that most of the remaining teams will have
to scrape together squads that have had limited playing time together.There
are other reasons too. Quite honestly, if we have a Tourney now, its going
to be
hastily put together, and with most teams
showing a so-so approach to the whole thing, it doesn't seem worth it.
By waiting for Summer 2004, we can have a real Tourney, one that will
rival any organization out there. Also, by waiting, teams can come up with
practice schedules, and finalize their rosters. Now rest assured, we are
not
backing down from the challenge, and leading up to the
'04 Tourney, there will be rosters w/pictures posted, travel info, forms, etc,
etc.
Lastly, the highly anticipated
New
Power Rankings will be posted on
October 6, 2003. Where will your team place? Keep it locked.

The Greatest Game
A. My
player of the week has to be Jamal
Lewis
of the Ravens. Not only did he blast the Browns before the game by saying
he would break the NFL's single season rushing record on them, he ACTUALLY
DID IT.
That is an unbelievable feat.
I can't even tell you how hard it is to say your going to do something that's
never been done before, in the face of your enemy, and actually pull it
off. He rushed for 295
yards!! 
B.
Now, the Redskins.
My
Redskins. You know,
I'll admit I didn't think the Skins were going to beat Atlanta in their
house. At one point Atlanta was even up 17-0 on us, and I was like,
"this is over", same old Skins. But guess what happened?
The Washington Redskins actually showed some heart, and rallied to win the game
33-31.
A
lesser team would of given up and called it a night. But for the first
time in who knows how long, our team sucked it up and
got
it done. Now I know
its just 2 games into the season, and we need to work on keeping our penalties
down, and keeping our QB upright, but for the first time in
12
YEARS, the Redskins are
2-0. Enough said.

On My
Heart
A.
Please note that the August updates have been archived in the Old News
section, which is inside of the Archives section. B.
You know, its easy to get caught up in the everyday business of our lives
and forget
that
only 2 short years ago,
passengers on the various hijacked airliners were witnessing their last moments
on earth, from their windows, as their planes slammed into the WTC,
Pentagon,
and a field in
Pennsylvania. 
That
people trapped in the upper floors of the world trade center, climbed outside of
their windows in an attempt to get away from the flames and smoke. They
must of seen all of the people down below, safety deceptively
seeming within their grasp. To the horror of the entire world, many
jumped. What
went through their minds as they fell?
Did they know that their lives were over? Or were they hoping for a
miracle? It all seems so unreal. Rudy Guliani's words rang true when asked
about the number of casualties, "It will be more that we can bear". Never
EVER
allow yourself to get complacent, or push what happened out of your mind. Remember.

Tourney 2003
A.
OK,
first of all, the tourney HAS
NOT
been cancelled, so let me put that rumor to rest. Having said that, here
is the thing. We have a couple of options, in terms of possible dates for
the tourney. Keep the following issue in mind, we need to leave atleast
one month for people to book airline/bus tickets in advance. Sometime
in late
October,
any time in November
(Revival meetings in DC?), or December.
2003 is still the year, so lets iron out a date THIS YEAR. The
following people are the team reps for their respective locales. Brooklyn

Yonkers - Silby,
Houston - Benson,
Philly - Rocky,
Chicago - Josh,
San Francisco - Josh

Staten Island - Vinod,
DC - Chris,
Newark -

I need
you all to contact either me (Chris) at

so we can gauge different dates.

NEED TO GET THE BALL ROLLING NOW. So please check with your team
members as to what dates are suitable and contact either me or Vinod. The
ball is in your court. B.
NFL
Preview '03:
It's that time of year. With the regular season under a week away, its time for Chung's Predictions.
If you haven't figured this out by now, football is my favorite sport, and
the Washington
Redskins
are my team, naturally. Now, I'm not naive enough to think that the Skins
will go to the Super Bowl this year, but I do think they have a legitimate shot
at the first round of the playoffs.
In
the AFC, I am picking the Browns
(b/c of Kelly Holcomb), Titans
(a healthy Steve McNair), and the Patriots
(Tom Brady has looked sharp). My sleeper team is the Kansas
City Chiefs
(a healthy Priest Holmes is almost unstoppable). In
the NFC, I am picking the Rams
(a healthy Kurt Warner), Bucs
(defending champs), and . My sleeper team is the Carolina
Panthers
(Stephen Davis is going to run wild, mark my words). If Mike Vick can come
back soon enough, then the Falcons
will contend as well. This
Thursday, the Redskins-Jets kick off the NFL season. I am picking the
Skins by a
touchdown. Speaking
of which, I will be posting a
recap
after every Redskins game with my own personal touch as to what went
right/wrong. So look forward to that.

The Takeout Trailer
Justin
V. This up and coming creative artist has compiled his very first trailer
based on The Matrix. So MAKE
SURE
you download this clip, which is available in Media. This is the
first of many clips you can look forward to from this up and comer.
 Some
Thoughts: A.
Done
for the season? Michael Vick
broke his leg on Saturday in a preseason game against the Ravens. I can't
help but be disappointed by this. This guy was about the set the NFL on
fire with his incredible skills.
 Although
he'll probably be back on the field this season, we will have to wait till next
season to see Vick
in his true form. B.
I read an article in
the Washington Post which sampled the reactions of people around the world to
the Northeast
Blackout.
Many Iraqis were quoted as saying "Now the Americans know how we feel".
They do have a point in saying that, but they are also now a free people.
Now they know how we feel. :) C.
FYI: Vinod will be updating the main page. Expect his first update this
weekend. So
don't touch that mouse.

Reminder
Sup
all. I hope you are enjoying the increasing # of updates. Its the
same IPF flavor, but with a different style. :) Now, let me get some operational stuff out of the way. Couple
of things: A.
If
you haven't already done so, please check out the tribute to Blessan Samuel in
the Remembrance section. It is very important that we remember his life,
and learn from it.
 B.
Also, remember that all upcoming content for the current month is listed in the COMING
SOON section, which is on the right hand side. The content that is
currently up on the site is bolded in
orange. C.
About the Mailing List. Remember that after you sign up for the list, you
have to go into your e-mail account and confirm the subscription.
You do
this by clicking on a link in the e-mail. If you don't do this, you won't receive any
IPF e-mails. A couple of people are stuck in pending b/c they haven't
clicked on the link in their e-mail. Much
more to come all.

The Legacy Continues
Right
off the bat, let me put all anxiety & uncertainty to
rest. IndaPhatFarm.com isn't going anywhere. After
2 + years, it was time to take this to the next level.
Therefore:
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you,
IndaPhatFarm
v2003. New design, new content, but with the same IPF
flavor. True, the old IPF is gone, but you're going to
like this new version even better.
Where do I
start? Over the past couple of months, I've been slowly
adding/editing content and working on this new design, and it's
finally done.
Important Note: The Pictures section will be up shortly. In the
mean time, have a look around. Also, a
new Message Board is in the works, so please bear with me for
the immediate future. Appreciate it.
New
Sections: Remembrance, Contact, Mailing List, Site Info
Updated Sections:
All. That's right all. Every original section has been touched up
for v2003. From Birthdays to Pictures to
The Tonight Show and The
IndaPhatFarm Post.
With
the new design, comes
a new way of running things. IPF is now run by 5
webmasters, and they are: yours truly, Chris aka Chung Lao, Benj A (BSMOOTH), Vinod V (from TheVargheses.com
fame) has joined up, Crystal G (sister), and Binu V (friend). Let me iterate that I'm not going
anywhere.
I will be overseeing this new project as head of
all website operations.
This new setup will ease the workload off of me, while bringing you fresh
perspectives and content. Please see the Contact page for a more in depth
look at what each webmaster's role
is.
I want to take this time to thank the entire IPF squad for your help.
Your input has been invaluable. I also want to specifically
thank Jaeson A, Susy S, and Sharon
T, for their valuable advice
and help with some sections of this
website. Last
but NOT LEAST, I want to thank all of you that continue to visit IPF and
support this website. v2003 is for you.
The best is yet to come all. Keep
it locked in.
