Stop by our booth #404 at the Celebrity Food Show this year at the Anaheim Convention Center and sample the best pancakes and the most scrumptious desserts you've every had.
Living in a small village, Agana Heights (population 200), we were a very close-knit family and spent a great deal of time together and with relatives all within walking distance from our home. We LOVED to cook together during special occasions, holidays, and celebrate our island's traditions. Everything was homemade, nothing was ever store bought. All dishes were made from our family recipes passed down through the generations.
We have a history of wonderful cooks in our family. My great uncle was a chef for President Eisenhower in the White House. Another uncle was a chef for the Admirals in the Navy. Nearly all of my aunts, uncles and great aunts were either cooks or chefs in restaurants or in the school systems in the island of Guam. All were taught by their parents with a passion to cook and it was passed down by choice. Cooking and eating together brought our family closer together throughout the generations and it is a very special family tradition that we still cherish today.
Our mission and passion is to provide you with authentic, high quality, great tasting, rich gourmet food products to enjoy and share with your loved ones creating wonderful, pleasurable experiences and life long memories. It is our hope that you will enjoy our rich and delicious foods and then build your own family traditions around our treasured sweetness.

Inkspirational Challenge - Black and One Other Colour
Our new challenge at Inkspirational is to use black and one other colour . For my DT card I used butterflies from Avery Elle and a sentiment (Happy Little Stampers) . I must admit it's hard to see the black in the photo! I stamped the butterflies in blue and then added touches of black ink and stamped them over again. Then I used the blue ink as a watercolour on the wings. The base card is actually black! I think it looks more navy in the photo.
We have a fabulous Guest Designer, Cheryl , joining us, so please come over to Inkspirational to see what she's made, and see the work of the DT , before entering your own creation.
I'd like to enter:

True Advancement
Marissa Gutierrez was a student speaker at one of this year's Summer Institutes in San Diego, CA. Below is her speech as prepared.
Advancement: the act or instance of moving forward. In order to measure it, one must know the starting point. At a young age, I always looked forward to going to school. I loved learning. My parents raised us in Mexico where they both had their jobs and worked very hard for my brother and me to have a private education. Growing up, I realized that not everyone was that lucky, so I would challenge myself to excel in everything I could. I remember doing great in all my subjects, loving my teachers, and dreaming of becoming an engineer, but that was not my starting point.
My starting point was when my mom retired, and my family moved back to what they called home. My starting point was the first day of eighth grade—sitting in a classroom in Texas, listening to other girls make fun of the new girl. Make fun of me. My starting point was pretending like I couldn't understand English, pretending like I did not know what they would say about me, pretending that I was not able to succeed. When I was thirteen years old, I was told I was just another statistic that proved that people who looked and talked like me would never achieve anything. For two years, my parents reminded me that we moved to the U.S. for my brother and me to have greater opportunities, but I never paid attention because deep inside I hated school.
At 15, the rumors were that, if you made it to Odessa High School, the chances to drop out pregnant were greater than the chances of ever graduating. I found myself thinking about this during my first day of high school. First period AVID—Mrs. Woodall's class—a woman who believes that education is for everyone, but success is for those who are willing to advance. I know I can stand in front of the world, and I have in front of some smaller audiences, and talk about binders, Cornell notes, WICOR, and the importance of effective tutoring. I can tell you everything I did in AVID my sophomore, junior, and senior year. I can tell you great things about my experience as an AVID tutor. To be honest, I can talk about AVID for a day straight and still manage to entertain you…but I don't want to do that.
On June 2nd of 2012, I stood up seven times during my graduation—Homecoming court, Students in Philanthropy, Senior Board officer, Student Council, National Honor Society, Miss OHS; yet the only time I shed a tear happened when they asked for the AVID graduates to stand up. I owe so much to AVID. I would never have the awards, or the scholarships, or the guts to walk up to Texas Tech University like it's my house without the educators—not the teachers—the educators who saw the individual determination in me.
Signing up for college classes, I somehow found this AVID course. Brand new to Texas Tech, the course is designed around material on how-to-survive-college for incoming freshmen and transfer students by using the AVID strategies. I had never thanked God so much about a two-hour credit, believe me. Even though it was only one semester, the course truly taught me how to survive in higher education. AVID helped me get to college, and it is still carrying me to this day. It gave me an amazing job as an AVID tutor. It helped me when I messed up my GPA thanks to taking Calculus II at 8 a.m. three days a week. It continues to give me opportunities to share why it is the best college readiness system, and this past December, AVID alone opened the doors for me to follow my dreams and enter the College of Engineering.
Robin Roberts once said that "it's not so much what we accomplish at the end of the day; it is what we have overcome that you remember the most." She is such a role model to me, but when it comes to AVID, I disagree with this quote. As an action, when one advances via individual determination, one accomplishes so much more than the dream itself. I continue to accomplish so much through AVID that sometimes I forget what I have overcome. I will never forget where I come from, don't get me wrong. However, AVID has never taught me to look back and suddenly feel strong. AVID teaches me, to this very day, to look forward and know that I am and have always been strong. Mrs. Woodall just had to remind me of that many times in high school. Now, I remind my students of the same. That is true advancement.

"He seems not only to see but also to say, sometimes tortuously but at the same time quite clearly and incorruptibly, how things are. The world speaks 'indistinctly, fast and about everything all at once,' and Haavikko's solution has been to look at the world face to face and learn its language."—Kai Laitinen, "Introduction to Paavo Haavikko's Poetry" (WLT Vol. 58, Autumn 1984)
Paavo Haavikko (1931-2008) was a Finnish poet and playwright. He published his first collection of poetry in 1951, at the age of twenty. After three more poetry collections, two three-act plays, and two novels, Haavikko's first English-translated piece was published in 1961.
In his Encomium speech, Philip Binham said of the 1984 Neustadt winner, "The Paavo Haavikko who has won the Neustadt International Prize for Literature is a writer at the height of his powers. He has interpreted our myths and our history for us; he has revealed the mainsprings of our actions," (WLT Vol. 58, Autumn, 1984).
Haavikko's poetry collections include Tiet etädisyyksiin (1951, "The Ways to Far Away"),Talvipalatsi (1959; tr. The Winter Palace, 1967), Kaksikymmentdja yksi (1974; tr. One and Twenty, 2007), and Sillat: Valitut runot (1984, "Bridges: Selected Poems"). His works of drama include the titles Agricola ja kettu (1968; tr. Agricola the Fox, 1985) and Kuningas Idhtee Ranskaan (1974; tr. The King goes Forth to France, 1984).

Cummins is a multinational Fortune 500 company that operates and serves customers around the globe. At the same time, Cummins retains strong ties to its Indiana home, where the Company's headquarters remain.
Cummins' roots thrive from innovation, persistence and a commitment to community. Founded in Columbus, Ind., in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company by Clessie Lyle Cummins, the firm was among the first to see the commercial potential of an unproven engine technology invented two decades earlier by Rudolph Diesel.
Clessie Cummins was a self taught mechanic and inventor with the desire to develop the first diesel-powered automobile. He placed the diesel engine in a used Packard limousine and took W. G. Irwin for a spin on Christmas Day in 1929. W. G. Irwin was a successful banker and investor with enthusiasm for the new engine. This led to the enormous financial support, which helped earn Cummins foothold as an engine supplier to the trucking industry.
In 1933, the company released the Model H, a powerful engine for transportation that launched the company's most successful engine family. J. Irwin Miller, great-nephew of W.G. Irwin, became general manager in 1934 and went on to lead the company to international prominence over the next four decades. By marketing high-quality products through a unique nationwide service organization, the company earned its first profit in 1937. Three years later, Cummins offered the industry's first 100,000-mile warranty.
By the 1950s, America had begun a massive interstate highway construction program, with Cummins engines powering much of the equipment that built the roads and thousands of the trucks that began to utilize them. Combining lab-based research and field-based trials allowed Cummins to achieve technological breakthroughs, including the revolutionary PT (pressure-time) fuel injection system of 1954. By the late 1950s, Cummins had sales of over $100 million...

Transforming Table Turns into a Luxury Leather Couch
More than merely another two-in-one transforming furniture design, this Calypso Chair table-and-couch combination can be set in all kinds of creative configurations to serve a variety of functional purposes.
The seats fold up from the flat table position in one of two directions, offering adjacent or opposed seating arrangements. The side supports flip inward to become reading, writing and/or computing surfaces. The space underneath can be used as under-seat or beneath-coffee-table storage space for books, magazines and other odds and ends.
In any formation, this creative piece of furniture is somehow stylish and smooth – a series of flowing curved lines alternating between warm wood grain and cool gray leather. With the available chair-bench-couch-table-storage options offered by a design like this, one could comfortably work, play, recline and rest all in one place.

"I can't breathe, someone please help me!" Those were my words when Microsoft was releasing games for Xbox and Windows 10 at this year's E3 because there were so many of them, and thankfully I prepared a list and here we are with a full coverage of badass announcements and the breathtaking keynote.
Microsoft kicked off the briefing by introducing the new XBOX One S with HDR gameplay and a smaller and sleeker body with a new, better and more comfortable XBOX wireless controller which can be entirely customized with different colors and chassis. The body is amazing and definitely has a "love in first sight" appeal. It has an IR blaster and also supports up to 2TB of internal storage. XBOX One S is amazing and the release stimulated the excitement to go through the entire event. Ladies and gentlemen this is the new XBOX One S starting at $299:
It's E3 and why the heck aren't we talking about games? Well, buckle up because here we are with a full list of what was shown at XBOX E3 event this year. The following are the XBOX One and Windows 10 exclusives.
1. Gears of War 4
It all started with Gears of War 4 from The Coalition which happened to be the game that also introduced the XBOX PLAY ANYHWERE feature which essentially means that once you buy a game on XBOX you can play it on your Windows 10 PC at no additional costs and the game you are playing can be picked up from where you left it on your XBOX right on your Windows 10 PC, just like that! The game will be available on October 11 this year. The Gears of War 4 XBOX Elite Wireless Controller will also be shipped soon. Here is the video of the official E3 gameplay.
2. Killer Instinct
Killer Instinct was all about the expanded community of players and the new characters introduced in the game and we saw General Raam from Gears of War coming to the Killer Instinct gameplay and the community with a smashing fight. A new character to the game, not bad! Here is he, the one and only General Raam.
3. Forza Horizon 3
The trailer started with one of my favorite songs, "Wicked Love" and boy the multiplayer gameplay was smooth with Australian terrain and loads of cars. Forza Horizon 3 from Playground Games is all about multiplayer with awesome slow-mo jump shots a huge world. Horizon 3 will be available on September 27, this year. This actually is "What a wicked game to play!" You have to watch the trailer.
4. Recore
Another exclusive from XBOX and this game felt like the reincarnation of Arcade gaming with a hint of Borderlands with strategies. The trailer says it for itself.
5. Scalebound
This "fight against the super-giant hideous creatures" co-op game from Platinum Games allows you to live the dream of the director of the game to play in the world of dragons and humans annihilating those creatures. The demo was awesome and intriguing. The game will be available in 2017.
6. Sea Of Thieves
This one game from Rare allows you to live a pirate life and explore the rich world of the dynamics delivered in the universe of the game. The game was announced with an intriguing trailer and a demo consisting of two teams maneuvering their ships and engaging in a pirate battle in the sea. Here take a look at the video.
7. State of Decay 2
This new iteration to the State of Decay is for the zombie lovers who want a story with skills of survival. The game had an awesome trailer and is an exclusive.
8. Halo Wars 2
This game is a sequel to our beloved Halo Wars which was released seven years ago. The new gameplay is of course more cinematic and has a stronger character build with an awesome trailer and not so shocking robots. Halo Wars 2 gives you an entirely new almost invincible villain. The game has February 17, 2017 as the release date but will be available to all the XBOX One players right now for a week long Beta.
These were the eight XBOX and Windows 10 exclusives released at XBOX E3 briefing. Following is the list of the games announced the event for both Microsoft and other platforms but available first on the XBOX One family.
- Final Fantasy XV (Available September 30)
- Tom Clancy's The Division: Underdround (Available June 28)
- Battlefield 1 (Available October 21)
- Minecraft Friendly Update (Cross platform multi-player coming this fall)

There were all the games introduced at the XBOX E3 Briefing.
XBOX Live is also getting few updates like player's community depending on the game genre and interests called Clubs for XBOX, more live servers for faster connectivity and greater experience. XBOX Live will allow you to play your music playlist while you play your games and switches the language of your game depending on the region in which you belong and finally XBOX Live will now support Cortana. With new XBOX Live you can now look for groups with which you want to play your favorite games and can also quench your thirst for competitive gaming using Arena for XBOX Live which is the newest and the easiest way to register and compete with the fellow gamers. That was XBOX Live.
Project Scorpio
Project Scorpio is a dream come true for a gamer. Microsoft is working on a new generation of console which is named Project Scorpio. This new console will deliver super high end graphics with 6 teraflops of computing capability to handle the 4K resolution at 60 FPS!!! This is true 4K resolution with fully uncompressed pixels. The machine boasts 8 CPU cores and over 320 gigabytes of memory bandwidth. Fallout 4 will be coming to the VR in 4K on Scorpio and every game on XBOX One will be supported on the Scorpio. Microsoft says that this will be the most powerful console ever made and well we think there is no doubt about that! Here is the video for Project Scorpio:
This was all that was delivered at XBOX E3 2016 briefing. Stay tuned for more on E3.

Death spread like a wildfire, and the world's inhabitants were all but marked to die. Those who dared try to play the hero were sought out and executed, and those who tried to protect them suffered the same fate.Now a new hero rises, but is she up for the task? Could she risk her life for those unable to defend their own?

New York City in 1980
New York City in 1980
Longtime New Yorkers will tell you that New York wasn't always one of the safest big cities in America.
"The late 1970s and early 1980s — when buildings were burning, fiscal crises were raging and the Dead Boys were playing at CBGB — were a macabre time in New York City's history, a period when it could be said that the city resembled a haunted house," writes the New York Times.
Make no mistake; present-day NYC still holds a fist full of grit strangely close to its heart. But a subway ride, for example, is drastically different in 2015 than it was during the hellish period the Times refers to, when there were more than 250 crimes committed every week in the subway system alone.
Or, how about a stroll through beautiful Bryant Park? You'd have a hard time believing that it once carried the chilling nickname, "Needle Park" for being a hub of drugs, prostitution and gang violence.
Into the chaos stepped Dutch tourist Ed Sijmons, visiting for the first time with his wife, Louise LH. Sijmons expected a "tough, rough and crimeful place," he told the Huffington Post. Indeed it was; that year actually saw New York's peak crime of the decade, with 1,814 homicides.
But, as the couple wandered the city's downtrodden streets, it turned out that they found "no trouble at all." Sijmons took hundreds of photos over the course of two weeks, capturing a stark juxtaposition of eeriness and classic New York romanticism.
As Sijmons prepares to visit New York for the first time since that visit, he has released his photos via a Flickr page and photo essay in the Tribeca Citizen. From Chinatown and the Village, down to FiDi and the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, and even out to a much emptier Long Island City, the images speak to New York's uncanny nature of somehow staying the same in many ways while changing in many others.
We hope Sijmons captures his upcoming trip in similar fashion. In the meantime, here are a few of our favorite 1980 shots below.

Russian officials reached out to the FBI and say could you please tell us that this guy we think he might be ... planning to to join an underground group ... overseas ... and so the FBI look sentiment can really find anything suspicious about amid reports that back to Russia ... when a reporter that they have crushes there anymore you can tell us anything more we can ... you know go with here ... and the Russians to respond as well Merkel ... so ... everyone's looking at that exchanges a key moment where more could've been done but wasn't ... and that the question that that ... both the lawmakers and the police Commission further grappling with ... today is ... if you knew that Dan was there anything about that exchange were you could've done more should've done more ... or or did it just frankly make sense of the time to to to stop at that point ... as the commissioner said in hindsight ... obviously you wish you would of done more ... Boston police Commissioner Edward Davis in your points to St ...

Bet on ... yes I mean that was actually really interesting point that was raised to sometimes at a difficult thing to say in the political arena ... that you know some terrorist attacks are going to be successful no matter how much you do I think that's either a that's a very inching argument he made ... in his basic point was this look you can ... fix the computer system you can refine and improve the computer system ... as much as you want ... but in his mind ... that the best way to detect a homegrown terrorist ... is not can it be in a panic in the software program ... it's going to be ... by police and FBI and law enforcement adding better relationships and all the different communities are I Devlin Barrett he's been following the Boston Marathon bombings since the beginning think semester being with us ... a lot more money they have a lot more lunch break you coming up in just a moment including news on Tesla for back to thirty seconds ...

An App Battle Brews in China
Sina Corp.'s popular Weibo microblogging platform has lost some ground to rival Tencent's WeChat. The WSJ's Josh Chin explains the competition between the messaging apps in China.

... the ... messaging service which ... is taking and I have seen only the tiniest I like to is ... joining me now is aging and better ... for China Real Time ... and Josh can ... just thank so much for joining ... so we had I seen as chairman coming out and seeing that the number of users for a time when there was declining slightly and moving on to the tactfully tell us more about why this is happening to one the idea to me to do with what has been the sort of champion of social media in China for the last couple years on this idea that that it might be of ... losing people's attention is a somewhat surprising ... it's also surprising that he would admit ... that they would about it specifically stated they were losing user attention to ... to WeChat ... which is a rogue no rival application ... um you know it did what it says it in in some ways is that you know that the Internet in China alike as it helped other parts the world is going increasingly mobile ... um and you know them you know the Seaway Bligh has a mobile application ... that's not a Swiss core competency it it does what but on the desktop and and and we chat on the other hand the Tencent der they are going very strong with its mobile market ... Josh can you talk a little bit about why news is there and back nine trading two weeks that was so cool about WeChat ... I mean we chatted it's it's it's a sort of beaded today Tuesday I mean it is notable advantages like et-cetera there is private ... so you know it's not a public thing a solid winner so you know what you say ... on it in what you use of force or bills are made out of the public eye I'm that's you know government snooping notwithstanding ... um ... and you know this is in some ways to scuttle one after using its mobile messaging with its more than just ... text messaging and you can read them but you can reach or voice messages his voice to text ... others video and photo sharing ... bounce of the Zohar that a lot of what you could do was to Wavell in terms of communicating with people you know what it's private and there's a little bit more functionality ... and Giansanti and Tencent nominee people know about this big Internet company in China ... how you doing in terms of earnings I mean are they ... actually benefiting from more users migrating from Seno way though in terms of like revenue and earnings growth ... where I read it it's not clear needed in ... this book or in defence and we see nobler WeChat ... its English name is not really started to make money ... um on the other hand neither side has seen a wave or so both of these companies ... are ... facing the same dilemma when they have ... a very very popular products and user growth on both the services is Ben and humongous the last couple years ... if you have two hundred million users on ... bond ... WeChat adjusted little move will be under two years in and see the way boy has four hundred million registered users ... but neither ... company has really figured out a way to Mana ties ... of those products ... it and citizen a little bit better shape too much better shape because ASIC huge gaining business has a lot of other ... the products it offers just because of those which to make one as will the more money to play with ... and can afford to sort of let ... what's that sort of develop without making money for a couple years ... certainly an interesting story that will be following very closely Josh Chin ... joining us from Bejing ... Farm on on these stories please go to the beest dot com ... I'm unique in for the Wall Street Journal digital network ... thanks for watching Asia Today

Thing is, I went to the fabric shop last week with my friend Mrs P to buy fabric for her party dress that i'm making. At the time the shop staff were unloading boxes and boxes and BOXES of suiting samples which they planned to sell off at £5.00/m .. Suiting, at £5.00/m! I valiantly fought off the urge to rifle through the boxes and came out of there with just a metre of plain cotton. But all week long, I've been thinking of all that suiting and as I coooed over Mrs P's fabric whilst deciding the best way to cut it, I found myself thinking that I too should have a pretty party dress - it'll soon be the festive season after all. So today, I went back to get some more of that and just to look at the suiting - to make sure that it was really horrible and not suitable at all for some nice dresses to be made from. Unfortunately, during the week, the winter fabric range had also appeared on the shop floor ... I couldn't stop myself! Wool fabrics for under £3./m ...
It's not really fabric, it's my winter wardrobe, because with this little lot, I intend to make at least 4 dresses, 1 skirt, 2 jackets and a corset ... not bad for £42.00 ..... don't you think? And if I make the patterns myself - which I will, then it's cheap at twice the price. All I need to complete my plan, is a few bits of lining which I shall get when I next go to London. Spreading the cost you know.
This is one of the dress styles I plan to make. I've already cut the pattern which I redrafted myself to my own measurements - I find it so much easier to start from scratch than to alter a pattern, especially a vintage pattern. It's a very simple dress, and I've changed the style a little by making it more of a panel dress - the seams will go all the way down the dress instead of stopping at the hip. This means that I will be able to adjust the 'wiggle factor' with more ease. I think I will also make the jacket pictured, but shorter.
Then there's the dress for Mrs P. Here it is pinned to Madge. It's a gorgeous fabric - gold cotton backed satin with a dark brown velvety pattern, like a flock. She is going to wear it to a wedding in October, and this fabric is just the right weight for a wintery frock. It will be lined with dark brown lining with a net underskirt to give it a little flounce. Today I cut out the dress pieces by thread tracing the pattern onto a single layer of the fabric in order to be able to match up the repeat. I'm not sure how well I did - it's not sewn together yet.
Also on my list to make is a skirt for my Sister-in-Law. It will be made from some lovely cream linen/cotton blend fabric, with accents in the Kaffe Fasset fabric pictured. It's bright and cheerful just like she is.
It's all sew around here!

Depends on whether you class Jersey, being a Crown Dependency, as part of the UK?
It's not, so you can't. Crown Dependencies are not part of the UK, which comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Isle of Mann is also a CD.
These are also different to overseas territories such as the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar Overseas territories are looked after by the UK - from gov.uk: " The UK has specific constitutional and legal responsibilities for its 14 Overseas Territories and a responsibility to ensure their security and good governance.

Monkey's make me money. I say it all the time, kind of tongue in cheek, but it's absolutely true. I have scratched out more monkeys, in many different ways and yet pretty much the same, than I care to admit. I figure, hey, if the people want monkeys who am I to argue? This latest one is very different from the rest. Although, a monkey is a monkey is a monkey, right? Anyhow, it is a 24"X36" scratchboard with collage, acrylic paint and just a little scratching this time. "Welcome To My Monkey House". A nod to Kurt Vonnegut, one of my favorite authors, and a fellow Hoosier.
I like it. Makes me laugh. I hope someone likes it enough to buy it and hang it on the wall. I'm not sure if this will go to Dallas to http://www.dahliawoodsgallery.com/ or stay here in Austin and go to http://www.wallyworkmangallery.com/
That's all to report right now.

This article was originally published on my travel blog, Apricot Abroad, where I post way more exciting stuff about travel. Head on over if you haven't gotten your fill!
When we arrived in San Antonio, Texas on May 19, 2015, the temperature was wavering between 102 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. We were sweaty but the sun felt good after spending hours in the car. Our first stop was at one of the, if not the, most historical parts of the City of Saint Anthony – The Alamo.
The fortress now known for it's significant role in the Battle of the Alamo was built 1718 in the middle of a cottonwood grove and was originally supposed to serve as a Roman Catholic Franciscan mission. It was later abandoned and then reoccupied by Spanish troops sometime in the early 1800s. We have these Spanish troops to thank for the name of the Alamo; "alamo" is the Spanish word for cottonwood.
The actual Battle of the Alamo didn't begin until February 23, 1836 and only lasted for 13 days. The purpose of the battle was for the American rebels to win Texan independence from Mexico. But because it was roughly 180 American rebels against about 4000 Mexican soldiers, it's not completely unbelievable that the American troops didn't do so hot.
However, this battle was important because it acted as a distraction to give General Sam Houston time to build up his army San Jacinto. The soldiers stationed here were inspired by the bravery of the rebels at the Alamo and used this inspiration as fuel to defeat Santa Anna's army and win Texan independence on April 21, 1836.
One last neat tidbit about the Alamo… Within the walls of The Alamo memorial site is a large tree that is nearly 150 years old. This tree caught my eye on the way out because I'd always pictured myself getting married under a huge tree just like this one. I only found out later the interesting history behind this crazy big tree.
You might be thinking, "WOW, the things this tree must've seen during the Battle of the Alamo!" Turns out, this tree is the first tree to ever be transplanted successfully. By transplanted, I mean taken out of the ground in one place without disturbing the roots and replanted somewhere else where it continues to live in thrive. So, it didn't actually see the Battle of the Alamo up close in personal.
What's neat about this tree, though, is that it's called a Live Oak. Live Oaks have some of the most dense wood of any tree in the entire world weighing in at around 76 pounds per square foot. That's a lot of weight to hold up and this is precisely why the branches droop to the ground.
Okay, the history lesson is over! After our enlightening trip through the Alamo, we hit the River Walk, one of San Antonio's most prized social gathering spots, for some margaritas and authentic Mexican food.
If you're going to go one place in Texas, I wouldn't think twice about recommending the River Walk. At the most basic level, the San Antonio River Walk is a network of water channels a story below the streets of San Antonio. Along these waterways are lines of shops, bars, restaurants and public art installations.
The establishment of the River Walk was not intentional. The idea came about after a network of waterways was installed after a flood devastated the city in 1921. Many
different plan ideas were submitted to develop the channels a bit more, including a plan to turn it into a paved sewer. Luckily, that plan was rejected and replaced in 1929 with Robert Hugman's plan for what is now the River Walk.
Tourists are able to take boat tours through the River Walk water channels, which are about 2.5 miles in total. They're also encouraged to eat, drink and be merry but are cautioned to keep their wits about them as there are no railings separating the sidewalks and the waterways. However, this doesn't stop people from falling in; it's said by those giving the boat tours that, on average, at least one person falls into the water a day.
After our (very hot) day in San Antonio, we crammed back in the car to head further west. But we would be doing Texas a serious injustice if we left the state without eating some barbecue.
Rudy's Bar-B-Q was originally established as an all-in-one gas station, garage, and grocery store in the 1800s by Rudolph Aue. Bar-B-Q was added into the mix in 1989 and launched a state-wide frenzy for this tasty in-house smoked meats and homemade sides.
What cracks me up about this place is that you don't just order a sandwich and a side of coleslaw – you order meat and sides by the quarter pound and bread by the loaf. Then, it's all plopped down in the milk cartoon carrier for you to mix and match for yourself. Granted, the whole experience was a bit messy but it was the best damn bar-b-q I've ever had. Not only is the food good, but so are the prices. So, if you're looking for something quick, hearty, and relatively cheap, stop by Rudy's in Leon Springs, just north of San Antonio.

I hope not. Because to me it then wouldn't be food. Sterile food is e.g pink slime. It looks like food, they make it taste like food but is it really food?
Let me first tell you what inspired me to write this. A good friend of mine from way back when I studied Software Engineering in Germany made a comment on one of my blog posts. My friend meanwhile has a family, one son and lives in Germany. We both studied IT in Heidelberg as part of a retraining. Me retraining from a Gardener (who used to work with soil/dirt), him retraining from a baker who had a flour dust allergy. We both became software engineers. I am telling you this to give you a bit of a background. My friend was a baker with passion. On our weekend break he went home and worked at his old workplace, wearing goggles and a breathing mask. That's how much he loved his work.
Now some 15 years later …. I moved to New Zealand and live a very much self-sufficient life, he is back in Germany and started a family. We couldn't have changed more and moved apart more. I meanwhile slaughter animals, shoot pest/game, go fishing, bake bread, brew beer and wine and make cheese. I think cow shit actually has some sort of a nice smell to it. And the cheese making was what led to his comment. I posted something about an experiment I wanted to do to make a cheese the same way as it was done hundreds of years ago. I took the Swiss mountain shepherd and dairyman in the Swiss Alps called a "Senner" as an example who lived up in the mountains from beginning of spring until the dawn of fall. They had to be self-reliant. The next shop was a walking distance of one or more days away. They milked the cows and made cheese. This was the birth of Swiss cheese. But they didn't had a web page where they could mail-order their freeze dried cheese cultures. They didn't use any. They used the bacteria in the milk and in the air. That's what made the Swiss cheese typical. So that was my experiment (which failed in its first stage and is delayed for now but this is not the point of this post).
Now the comment of my friend was something like:
"You can't be serious! I am very worried about you and your health. You surely don't want to eat this food which is loaded with bacteria. Baking is a different matter, baking with wild yeast at least uses heat as a steriliser. Do you really want to kill yourself?"
Now let's look at this. There are two main ideas in this comment: 1st - Bacteria are bad and 2nd - food needs to be sterile.
We have 10 times more bacteria in our body than we have cells. We need bacteria for a healthy life. We even have E. Coli in our guts. Yes that's right, E. coli which got all the bad press recently.
The modern food industry supported by government authorities tell us that bacteria are dangerous. The first thing what comes to people's mind is "dirty". Bacteria are a synonym for dirty, unsanitary conditions. And who really wants to eat dirty food? But our definition for clean and dirty has changed over the years. Clean was just this: naturally clean. Nowadays clean means sterile. One only has to watch TV commercials and you think we are under constant attack from germs and bacteria. I sometimes wonder how we survive out there.
When I was young, we lived a life outside. We ate disgusting things. We took fruit from trees without washing them first. We ate sugar beets we stole from the fields and broke open on a rock. We dared each other to eat earthworms and snails. I wonder how much sand and soil we involuntarily swallowed when we were rolling around on the ground (usually fighting with other boys). We cut our knees open and didn't care about dirt in the wound. Nobody used antibiotic soap and disinfectant spray. We washed our hands with soap (if at all). We played with dogs and horses. We had hamsters and pet rabbits. So how did we survive? We had something called an immune-system. And boy was it strong! Because it was highly trained. It was hardened over time, right from the beginning. We sucked it in with our mother's milk and strengthened it in the sandbox and on the playgrounds. And it was under attack a lot. But it was under attack from natural normal bacteria. Not under attack from antibiotics and antibacterial soap. We need to re-define our understanding of clean and dirty again. We need to bring it back to a normal, a natural level.
Now the second part is about "food has to be sterile". Where does this come from? Food was never sterile. Everything based on fermentation is using yeast fungi. Bacteria are part of our food. Almost all dairy products are based on bacteria. But the real problem is, food which is alive is perishable. And this doesn't fit into our modern food system which is based on Just-In-Time delivery, long term storage, filling demands, transportation and lean production systems. The only reason why our food is full of preservatives and chemicals is purely for profit. Why do you think do we have flavour enhancers? To make you more happy because it tastes better? Why do you think we have artificial flavours? To make you happier? Why do we (according to a cheese factory owner in NZ) pasteurize our yogurt after it was cultivated and then add some beneficial bacteria later on? To make it healthier for you? Why does the government put up a big fight and argument every time the raw milk discussion comes up? To protect you from harmful bacteria? There is only one answer to all these questions: It is to support the modern food production, to support the long term storage of food in warehouses, to support the long transport around the world - to make profit! This is the only true reason.
Are you happy to eat and drink all these additives and preservatives and colours and artificial flavours so that some food business can make more profit? I tell you one thing for sure, Goodman Fielder doesn't want artisan bread which lasts only a week. They want pre packed bread, all in one size which fits nicely into a tray, which goes into a rack and gives an optimum of space usage in their trucks. Fonterra doesn't want raw milk and raw milk dairy products. They want products which can be ripened in huge warehouses and carted around the country and overseas. They want yogurt made from milk powder because that stores way better than raw milk. Coca Cola doesn't want fresh pressed fruit juice. They want fruit drinks based on apple juice concentrate which is freeze dried and pasteurized and can be stored in silos which are imported by ship from China.
Dead sterile food is profitable and manageable and needs additives to appear nourishing. Live food is perishable, seasonal and healthy. But sorry, food which is alive contains bacteria, fungi germs and the occasional snail shit! I can live with that. I actually want to live with that. What do you want?

Still Counting the Dead: Survivors of Sri Lanka's Hidden War
The civil war in Sri Lanka can be termed as a war that was a defiant display of patriotism's victory over terrorism and people who aren't very much concerned with the state of their country. It's a troubling idea to imagine that the war lasted 26 years and that many people in Sri Lanka bear permanent scars over it – it's tough for children of conflict to accept war brutality and that is an attitude to be proud of because they have had to live through so much violence.
As India's neighbour, the military offensives in Sri Lanka remained a public concern for the Indian government throughout the course of the war because the state is in constant turmoil for it. India's involvement in the war had a two-pronged approach for the leaders who orchestrated it:
- demonstrate that India is indeed the mightiest country in the Indian subcontinent
- aid with regional security and support peacekeeping efforts in Sri Lanka, as the much more developed state
This book is a raw account of the civil war: what lay as the catalyst for the horrors of the war in Sri Lanka were numerous years of feuds between the terrorist organization, LTTE (also known as the Tamil Tigers) and the government. The atmosphere turned bloody, as ordinary Sri Lankans were used as human shields for defence purposes, shockingly, and most of the world turned a blind eye to the conflict or the country as it lies today.
The guerillas were barbaric towards the civilians: in the middle of a crossfire many schoolchildren, farmers and fishermen amongst others were pointlessly trapped and living in a lot of fear throughout the enormously long war. The government's handling of the media was infiltrated so that most in the world worth informing lay in the cold dark about the deeper details of the war in Sri Lanka. Forming a part of ongoing war-crimes investigations at the UN, imagine the diplomatic catastrophes the war was responsible for.
This book brings you closer to that picture of war-crimes and it might be too startling and gruesome (and new) for many but that is what the harsh reality of the civil war in Sri Lanka has been. The book helps readers to sober up towards the atrocities and talk about the finer details of the Sri Lankan war. What I enjoyed most were the relatable tales of suffering from locals in Sri Lanka: many people treat the dead here for the war as a statistic but I believe that when the war is more glorious than the black hole that is the Syrian war, people will come up with all kinds of nonsense.
It is a documented fact that more civilians were killed in the manner of a few months leading up to the end of the war in 2009, than what had happened during a few years of the war in Syria. While it may be devastating to see buildings being reduced to rubble in Syria, it's so much worse to imagine that the guerillas would trap so many thousands on a silver sand territory of NE Sri Lanka and kill all in the end.
These kinds of stories are not rare in the book: you have hopes of kind comments dropping in unannounced from leaders, wished for by people who actually know of the war (or have worked in Sri Lanka), you hear of cowardice in the middle of it and the emotional trauma that the victims must have had to live through for many years, singularly for all of that, and very interestingly, there is also a bold smattering number of "public firsts in stories" by people who witnessed (and live terrorised) from the Sri Lankan war.

Mario Barrios defends his 140-pound title this Saturday night against Eudy Bernardo on Showtime Extreme from the Freeman Coliseum.
Barrios has picked up four consecutive victories via knockout since moving up to the division. The 22-year-old is a perfect 20-0 in his career with 12 finishes.
"I have filled out perfectly for this division and working with Virgil Hunter has helped a lot. It is no secret that I have had four fights with Virgil Hunter and each one of them has ended with a knockout. I am stronger than ever, and I feel completely comfortable at junior welterweight. This is the weight class that I'll be campaigning for a world title at," Barrios said. "He is a solid opponent with a lot of experience. He has a high work rate that you can tell that by his nickname 'AK-47'. He is the perfect opponent for me at this point in my career as I start my climb to a world title. I know he's coming to fight as am I, so there will definitely be some fireworks."
This will also be a homecoming for Barrios, as he was born in San Antonio and still resides there.
"It is a blessing to fight in my hometown. I get homesick sometimes when I train as I think about family, friends and all the places I love to visit back home. It feels good, not just to be able to fight at home, but to put on a great show for everyone that knows me as well. San Antonio needs a big star they can get behind and I feel I can be the one to fill that role," he said. "This camp has been very good. I've gotten lots of different looks and I'm well prepared to go into battle. I love training at Virgil Hunter's Boxing Gym because we have a great routine, with a lot of top fighters. I also started training with SNAC's Remi Korchemny, who is increasing my speed and endurance, which will be very noticeable in this fight. I have trained very hard for this fight, so you can expect a great performance."
The card features Mikey Garcia vs. Sergey Lipinets for the IBF 140-pound title and Rances Barthelemy vs. Kiryl Relikh for the vacant WBA 140-pound belt.
