Two Questions About Baking?

First – I’m not sure what buttermilk is, because I’m Arab and in my region we have “laban” which tastes kind of like yogurt but liquid, I recently heard from some friends that it is the same thing as buttermilk used in recipes, and I want to make sure if it’s really the same thing, because I think it is kind of weird to use it in cakes, does buttermilk really really tangy? as tangy as yogurt? does “laban” sound the same thing as buttermilk because I want to bake this cake which has buttermilk in its ingredients.
Another question is, if the recipe calls for strong brewed coffee, and I don’t have a coffee maker, what’s the substitute? I usually use either Nescafe or Davidoff instant coffees at home, would they work? How to make one cup using Nescafe or Davidoff equal to one cup of hot strong brewed coffee?

Apple I Pod Touch Questions?

I’m thinking of getting an ipod but I don’t know which type of one to get, should I get the ipod with 16 or 32 gbs?
What are the benefits in between the two?
From what I heard the music, what does “you have 30 hours of playback” does that mean that after you listened to your music for 30 hours, does that mean you can’t ever listen to again and have to get an new one?

In the movies it always shows kids at a party then the cops show up the person lets them in and then they say” drop your cups and go home before we start carding.”
I was wondering is this how it really plays out . I know the cops can’t card everyone but do they try.
Question: What happens when the cops show up at a party your at?
Let me know if I missed anything

Moringa/durian Questions On Best Way To Take Them?

I have a bag of freeze dried moringa leaves and I use a coffee maker to make tea out of it, I run it through the coffee maker 3 times to get it real good. When I am done with that I keep the left overs in a ziplock bag and add that with a fresh scoop from my bag…….my question is by making the tea am I getting all I can from it or should I just eat the fresh leaf powder. Also would there be any benefit from eating the green paste that is left over after making the tea? To make it simple what is the way to my moringa leaf powder? I feel making the tea the heat is destroying some things and that I am not getting the chlorophyll but I could be wrong.
Now Durian, I have just found out this and was going to get some powdered extract. will this just be as good as the fruit itself? i would probably mix it with my morniga tea.
Would it be better to eat these products fresh out the bag and not make a tea? What would be the best way to take these products to get 100% of it i can. I do not want to waste anything and I want everything these 2 things have to offer.
thank you
