It's a crowded ice cream shop at 8 o'clock. There are little kids, parents, and teenagers everywhere, all of them eating ice cream or drinking bubble tea. You can't help but notice everything they put near their mouth is a plastic spoon or a plastic straw. You think about how much waste is produced by this single ice cream shop every night, considering there's at least twenty people surrounding you at the moment. Thankfully, you won't be contributing to that waste. You pull out your reusable straw from your bag. It's being protected by a uniquely beautiful denim straw sleeve. You don't go anywhere without this sleeve: It keeps your straw safe from touching anything else in your bag. Also, thanks to its special design, your straw stays put in there and doesn't slip out. You put the sleeve on the table you're sitting at and use your straw to drink the bubble tea you ordered and can't help but notice people are watching you. They don't say anything, but you can see they're intrigued by your straw, and its sleeve. Some people even smile at you and compliment your straw, or ask about the sleeve, which leads to a conversation on zero waste living. When you're done drinking, you wipe off the straw using a reusable napkin (you'll clean it when you get home) and put it back in its sleeve. Guess what? You just saved one more plastic straw from being wasted. Not to mention, you got other people interested in zero waste living too.
This could be you thanks to StrawSleeves, a company dedicated to providing a practical way to carry reusable straws while traveling, shopping, or eating out. By simply using a straw sleeve to transport your reusable straws, you'll be able to attain this sort of life. You can buy reusable straws (bamboo and stainless steel ones) on StrawSleeves' site too, but their main focus is the straw sleeves (which make transporting the straws a cinch). They offer single straw sleeves (you can choose from two materials: reclaimed denim or 100 percent hemp), and multi-utensil packs. The single straw sleeves are ideal if you already have one reusable straw and just want something to keep it safe and secure in your bag. The multi-utensil pack is perfect for someone who already has several reusable straws (maybe of different shapes and sizes) and likes carrying all of them at once. I recommend the multi-utensil pack for those who aren't sure how many straw sleeves they'd want, since it has multiple slots. Either way, both products will make your life so much easier. Perhaps the coolest part about straw sleeves (and the multi-utensil pack) is that they aren't just for straws: You can use them for carrying cutlery, makeup brushes, and even art supplies. I personally love using one of the sleeves to carry around reusable chopsticks!
Cheri Newcomb, the owner of StrawSleeves, was kind enough to send me two straw sleeves, a multi utensil pack, and some reusable straws. I tried them out for a full week and lets just say I'm excited to share my results. Ready to see what I thought? Keep reading!
Both the reclaimed denim and hemp straw sleeves - pictured with a bamboo and stainless steel straw.
Why you want it: These handy sleeves protect your straws from bumping into things in your bag. Plus they're plastic-free and machine (or hand) washable.
My review: I'm no stranger to reusable straws: Before I joined the zero waste movement, I bought a glass straw. I thought it looked really pretty and loved how eco-friendly it was. The problem? It came with a plastic carrying case. As you know, it's best to try and avoid purchasing plastic, as we already have more plastic than we can handle on earth. That said, these straw sleeves are the perfect alternative. They're completely plastic free and made from eco-friendly materials. The blue one is made from reclaimed denim and cotton blends, while the white (Natural colored) one is made from 100 percent Romanian hemp. The hemp sleeve straws are available in other colors too (mine is considered Natural): Black, Green, Purple, and Blue. The reclaimed denim one comes in both blues and in earth tones. They're designed to hold almost any size straw in varied widths (and bends). They can carry anything up to 8 to 9 inches in length. Pretty cool, huh? Personally, I love both of these straw sleeves and find it hard to choose which I like better. I actually use the reclaimed denim one a little bit more than the hemp one (maybe because it matches the multi-utensil pack a little more). There's not much of a difference between them in terms of functionality, that's for sure: They both work great. To use, I simply slip a reusable straw of my choice into the sleeve. It stays put because the straw sleeve has an "invisible inner cuff" that prevents the straw from sliding out of the pocket. That's why it requires no ties or fasteners, which is awesome. After the straw is in the sleeve, I just plop it into my bag. Straw sleeves work well with tote-bags, glove-boxes, pocketbooks, backpacks, or even picnic baskets. I usually pair the straw sleeves with the straws you see in the picture above (also provided to me by StrawSleeves), or with a pair of chopsticks (pictured below). Heck, I could even keep my glass straw in this sleeve because it's so secure. When I want to use the straw (or chopsticks), I just pull it out. After I'm done using the straw (or chopsticks), I just wipe them off and put them back in the sleeve. I usually wash the utensils when I get home, since it's not always convenient to do in public. Either way, these straw sleeves certainly come in handy. They're also quite durable too: Both the hemp and reclaimed denim ones are self-lined and triple stitched to hold up to frequent and repeated machine (and/or hand) washing. Personally, I'm just going to hand wash them in the bathroom sink, but they haven't gotten to that point yet. They're still super clean, so I probably won't have to wash them for several weeks. I totally recommend these to anyone who wants an easy way to store their straws (or utensils) on the go!
I like to use the reclaimed denim straw sleeve to hold my chopsticks! The chopsticks were given to me by my dad. He bought them when he was younger in China Town. Vintage!
The multi-utensil pack - pictured with two bamboo straws, a spoon straw, and a stainless steel straw.
Why you want it: This awesome multi-utensil pack is perfect for stashing cutlery, makeup brushes, and even art supplies in one secure place.
My review: I've always wanted a multi-utensil pack. Well, at least since first seeing one in a zero waste group. I was scrolling through the group and looking at pictures other members were sharing, and one was a multi-utensil pack they made themselves. While I certainly admired their handiwork, I am no seamstress. I don't even have access to a sewing machine and even if I did, I would probably wind up sewing my own hand. Thankfully, StrawSleeves sells these amazing packs that do the handiwork for me. The one I received is made from reclaimed denim and cotton, but there are so many different options to choose from. Here are only a few color options: Pink with purple print, charcoal print with stripes, off-white with purple print, and so much more. I'm in love with how cute the pattern is as soon as you open it. This pack is perfect for fitting any sized straw or utensil. In the picture above, I used it to carry two bamboo straws (one for bubble tea/smoothies, another for regular drinks), a stainless steel straw, and a straw spoon (literally a straw with a spoon on the end). That said, you can carry anything in this baby. There are four slots, but they're pretty roomy. Lets say I wanted to carry around art supplies: I could fit up to 6 colored pencils in each slot, which I tested myself so trust me on that. Or, lets say I'm a makeup artist and want to bring makeup brushes with me to a client. Easy-peasy, this pack will hold at least four brushes (maybe more per slot, depending on the length and width of the brush). It's also great for holding cutlery, which is mainly what I'm going to be using it for. Eating out, especially at places like malls or fast food chains, isn't always the most zero waste. Usually, you'll only be offered plastic cutlery (cannot say how true this is - every time I eat at the mall in the food court it's the only thing offered). This will help me stop relying on that. It's perfect for storing a fork, spoon (better yet, a straw spoon), and a knife. Even chopsticks! If you like bamboo cutlery or stainless steel cutlery, great, because either will be safely secured in this pack. Instead of buying a whole set of portable cutlery, you can just buy this and take from what you usually use in your kitchen (for me, that's stainless steel). Once you secure all your utensils (or art supplies, brushes, etc.) in place, you simply close the flap and use the ties to secure it. Make a pretty bow and you're ready to go! I plop it into my bag and it stay perfectly fine. When not in use, you can also fold it up and tie it so it takes up less space in a drawer or on a desk. I usually just leave it in my bag. It can also be machine or hand washed, but mine is still very clean. If I take care of it, I'm sure it will last me for years to come! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to carry around reusable cutlery, makeup brushes, or art supplies (but doesn't want to waste plastic in the process). Plus, it looks really cute.
The multi-utensil pack also works great with reusable cutlery, art supplies, and even makeup brushes.
I received two bamboo straws, one spoon straw, and one stainless steel straw from StrawSleeves. All work amazingly!
Why you want it: Each straw is great for something, and each one has a different, unique texture. All of them are certainly handy to have around and on the go.
Its value: $4.46 - $21.61 (depends on the straw you get. The cheapest is the bamboo straw from Straw Free and the priciest is the straw spoon with a denim straw sleeve).
My review: These are the straws StrawSleeves gave me to try out. They aren't the focus of their brand, but it's great that they sell them too. Makes it convenient to shop for everything in one place! If you love smoothies (or bubble tea, like me), I recommend checking out the bamboo straws they sell from Straw Free. They're very roughed and thick, so they're best for those kind of drinks. For regular drinks (like water, iced tea, soda, etc.) I recommend the smaller bamboo straw or the stainless steel straw. It kind of just depends on the texture you like, but I recommend stainless steel straws for people who don't like a woody texture on their straws. Both don't bother me though, so I use them interchangeably. I drink a lot of iced tea while out on about, so these certainly come in handy! Probably one of my favorites is their straw spoon though: It's made from stainless steel and has a silicone grip on it for easy convenience. You can get two of them with a denim straw sleeve included, or without. I usually put this straight into my multi-utensil pack, along with other cutlery. It's super handy because it doubles as both a spoon and a straw. Of course you'd have to wipe it off before using it interchangeably, but it's certainly handy! Ultimately, I highly recommend investing in one of these straws if you don't have any reusable straws yet. Even if you do, grabbing an extra one might do you some good. With all these different sizes and shapes, there's bound to be one that grabs your attention!
StrawSleeves founder, Cheri Newcomb, was great to work with and was quick to send me my samples!
When I received my samples, they came in a recyclable/compostable paper envelope with recyclable/compostable paper padding (super ecofriendly!).
I love how each of these products is completely plastic-free and made from washable fabric (or, if we're talking about the straws, washable straws). Talk about a zero waste win!
The straw sleeves are great if you don't have as much room, or simply want to protect one straw.
The multi-utensil pack is so versatile and works with everything from cutlery to art supplies!
I absolutely love these products and will continue to use them for several years - they're super durable!
I love how the materials used in each product is simple, yet effective (reclaimed denim, cotton, and hemp).
It's great that StrawSleeves also sells reusable straws. I'm especially in love with the straw spoon! Perfect for eating ice cream on the go, or sipping and chilling.
These products worked great - they kept my utensils and straws clean and safe while in my bag. No fibs here!
Using these products seriously minimizes the amount of plastic waste I put into the environment. Do you know how many straws are found in the ocean each year?
I'm so glad I finally have a bubble tea straw that isn't plastic (I drink it pretty frequently, so this will greatly help me reduce the amount of waste I create!).
They don't just sell the items I reviewed: They also sell cleaning brushes, stainless steel straws with silicone comfort tips, and reusable shopping bags. Sweet!
I wish I had more of their products! That's pretty much it. I literally cannot think of anything bad to say about this brand. They're doing so much good for the world!
Conclusion: StrawSleeves are the best way to carry around your reusable straws. Period. They make everything from single straw sleeves, to multi-utensil packs. If you've been wanting to try plastic-free straws, but hesitated because you didn't know how to protect them in your bag, this is for you. Do the environment and yourself a favor and get yourself a sleeve or a utensil pack. They also carry a bunch of different straws if you're stuck on where to start. The multi-utensil pack is great for artists, makeup lovers, and zero wasters alike because it can be used to hold just about anything. Not to mention these make great gifts for family and friends! Also, be sure to follow StrawSleeves on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates on their high-quality products!


With the winter months fast approaching, we would like to remind our residents of the Parking Village Ordinance that is specific to this time of the year and to also provide you with several winter driving reminders.
At the entrance of each subdivision, there is a sign that addresses the parking restrictions which applies to vehicles parked on the roadway when 2 or more inches of snow has fallen. This Village Ordinance (9-4-8 (B) ), reads in part that it shall be unlawful to leave unattended, or park any motor vehicle upon any village street when there has accumulated upon the streets two(2) inches or more of snow. This prohibition shall remain in effect until such time as the street has been plowed, the snow has been removed, or the snowfall has stopped. The penalty for violating the provisions of this section will result in a fine. A period of ten days will be permitted to make the payment, and in the event the violation has not been paid, the fine shall be raised by five dollars.
Below are several tips for driving during the colder winter months.
Bridges and overpasses freeze first, so always slow down and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction.
Keep your vehicles windows clear.
Look farther ahead in traffic. Actions by other drivers will alert you to problems and give you extra time to react.
To make Antilock Brakes work correctly, apply constant and firm pressure to the pedal.
Leave plenty of room for stopping and brake early. It takes more time to stop when the roads are wet and icy.
Slow Down! Drive according to road and weather conditions. Remember, the posted speed limits are for dry pavement.
Drive with your headlights on.
Semi Trucks take longer to stop, so don't cut in front of them.
If you get stuck in the snow, straighten the wheels and accelerate slowly. Avoid spinning the tires.

Q: Tool for transforming OOP code into AOP Is there any open source tool which can transform the OOP code (irrespective of the programming language i.e. .NET, Java or PHP) into AOP?

A: You want an "AOPizer".  The problem you appear to want to solve has two parts:

*

*Finding potentially cross-cutting code in an existing application

*Extracting the code into aspects for that language

1) The first task requires essentially a clone detector.  Many clone detectors only
find identical text; these won't be very helpful because your aspects likely
have parameters that have to be take from the code. (If you are going to log
function arguments, the aspect has to be parameterized somehow by those arguments).
So you want a detector that can find parameterized clones.  You also want
those clones to be extractable from the code, so whatever it finds needs to
correspond to some well-defined concept in the programming language (expression,
statements, block, ...)  Many token-based clone detectors can find parameterized-by-identifier clones, but don't understand the language structure, and so they won't
be effective for this task.
Our CloneDR finds clones using the abstract syntax of the targeted language
to guide it; this requires precise language parsers; it has such parsers for PHP, Java, VB.net and C#.  The clones its finds always correspond to language structures as defined by the above.  It will find parameters that are single identifiers, or any larger langauge construct (expression, statement, etc.) which consistently varies across the clones. It produces a human-readable report of clone sets and the precise location of all of their instances, as well as the exact parameter values.  It also generates a machine-readable report of the same information, enabling another tool to take advantage of the detection process.    CloneDR has been used to hunt for such cross-cutting techniques in the past: From goals to aspects: discovering aspects from requirements goal models  (I'm the author of CloneDR).
2) Armed with clone data, you now need a tool that can extract the clones into aspects. First, you need to define the aspect language, then you need a tool that can parse the langauge, pin point the clones, abstract/translate them into such aspects.  I know of no tools off-the-shelf that do this directly, so you'll need a custom tool that has all the necessary machinery.  Our DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit is designed with building exactly such custom tools in mind.
(This satisfies the "could" part of my remark; there's additional work to do to get what you want).  And in fact DMS has been used to build aspect tools for languages that don't presently have them; see A technique for constructing aspect weavers using a program transformation engine.  [It might not be a surprise to you that CloneDR is actually built on top of DMS, and an even nicer engineering path would be run the CloneDR machinery and pass the results directly to custom AOP extraction code rather than going through an intermediate export/import of clone data locations).
You also wanted open source (whenever I see this, I read this as code words for "free").  Alas, these tools are not free.  They have required decades of PhD level engineering to build and polish (some of those decades being my personal decades; I'm the architect of DMS) and I have some trouble with idea of doing that for free.   They do have commercial licenses, and can be obtained at what we think are moderate prices for the value supplied (frankly IMHO a significant part of the value is the perspective that allowed these tools to built in a general way), and there are research licenses. Contact us offline for more details; see my bio.

GOD BLESS SC HUESCA
Aragon is dominated by the Pyrenees. Its glaciers tear through idyllic countryside of and frame it with an epic backdrop. These mountains are often the focus when people think about the north-eastern region of Aragon, rather than that which is hidden beneath them.
Huesca is a quaint city nestled below the towering mountain range of the Huesca Pyrenees. It's an hours drive north of Zaragoza and very much its little sister. While Zaragoza is where half of Aragon's residents call home, Huesca is only made up of 55,000 people. It's the kind of place your mate ended up in on his niche interrailing trip around northern Spain.
That being said, it's football team - SC Huesca - have recently replaced Real Zaragoza as Aragon's flagbearer in La Liga.

Famously founded by Barça supporters, SC Huesca proudly sport the Azulgrana colours on their home strip. But their fortunes could not have been any different to their Catalan counterparts. Huesca played in the tertiary division of Spanish league football from their foundation in 1960, only being promoted to the Segunda division in 2008. Their steady rise through the senior ranks of Spanish fútbol ever since was triggered by a takeover by two ex-players, one of which was Jose Antonio Martín 'Petón' - their current CEO.
This business association with Petón, often coined as the Spanish Jorge Mendes, brought Huesca into contact with Bahia - one of Spain's biggest player agencies. Four of Huesca's current crop are managed by Bahia, and there's no denying that their relationship with the agency has been integral to their footballing success. Huesca pride themselves on youth development and it's often Bahia that puts them in contact with the country's rising stars.

This is the only sustainable development model for a side that worked under a transfer budget of €8 million for the entirety of last season. Huesca's new record signing, Serdor Gürler from the Turkish second divison (£2.25 million), is a product of the financial windfall that Huesca received from promotion to La Liga. Much of the rest of the cash seems to have gone into their stadium expansion, which saw their ground almost double in capacity from 4100 to 7500.
Huesca's Estadio El Alcaraz sits on the fringe of the city, surronded by dry fields and the odd bit of dusty tarmac. This isn't Madrid. This isn't Barcelona. This is Aragon. Forget the galactic transfer fees being negotiated by Florentino Perez; Huesca represents the grain of Spanish fútebol. It's unpolished, its rough edges are on show - and its absolutely fucking brilliant.
SD Huesca fought against all odds to be where they are now. Its a club representing a city of 55,000 people, and its in the top division of Spanish football. If we're talking population counts, the British equivalent would be Barry Town playing in the Premier League.
But this is a city that's strongly familiar with the tale of the underdog. Huesca sport the St George's Cross on their away shirt; a nod to Aragon's Patron Saint and his miraculous taming of the dragon. Resilience, too, is in their blood. Huesca was on the Falangist frontline during the Spanish Civil War and was a famously stubborn stronghold. Republican fighters, including none other than George Orwell, used to joke that 'Tomorrow we'll have coffee in Huesca'. They never got the chance.

SD Huesca got their chance to enact their destiny at home to Real Zaragoza in November 2017. Having lived forever in the shadow of the region's industrialised capital, little Huesca finally had the chance to make Aragon theirs. The Estadio el Alcaraz was bouncing. Real Zaragoza were beaten 3-1 on the night, with their fate being sealed by an absolute rocket by on loan Watford striker Cucho Hernández. Real Zaragoza's monarchacial grip over the Pyranees was beginning to slip.
Despite winning the return fixture at La Romareda 1-0, Zaragoza couldn't stop Huesca. The latter nipped them to second place and automatic promotion to La Liga. Zaragoza shored up in third and (inevitably) lost their play-off semi to Numancia. The power shift in Aragon was finally complete.
Now Huesca are flying high in the big leagues. They might have lost 8-2 to Barça t the Nou Camp a few weekends ago, but fuck it: who actually cares? Their team is a hodgepodge of loanees and players signed on free transfers. But they're living the dream. And though it might not last long, Huesca have already done the undoable.
Their rise to the top is the stuff of poetry. It's fitting that this spectacular journey took place in the fantasy land of Aragon, a place that you'd be forgiven for mistaking as the setting of Eragon.
SD Huesca's footballing odyssey is the latest entry into this region's vibrant mythology. Who cares if they lose their footing now; they've already reached out above the Pyrenees that surrond their little city.

Anti-tank trenches and Jerusalem's survival
Posted Sunday, May 14, 2017 12:00 am
By Alan Jay Gerber
This week's essay is devoted to one short chapter in the life and rich legacy of Rabbi Shlomo Goren, when the fate of Jerusalem was determined as the Jewish state was re-established in May 1948.
The two works under review that are the sources for this episode are "Rabbi Shlomo Goren: Torah Sage and General" (Urim Publications, 2006) by Shalom Freedman, and "With Might and Strength: An Autobiography" (Maggid Books, 2016), by Rabbi Shlomo Goren, edited by Avi Rath and translated by Miryam Blum.
Right after the declaration of the state of Israel's independence, Israeli army intelligence was informed that at 11 am on Shabbat, the Arab Legion was planning a tank invasion of the western sector of Jerusalem, where the new state's capital was situated.
How to block this planned tank invasion of civilian targets on a Shabbat required not just military planning but civilian assistance in the digging — on Friday night — of a large anti-tank network along the northwest corridor bordering the very center of the city. It was to be this very timing that brought into play the involvement of Rabbi Shlomo Goren and others to determine the legitimate nature of the threat that would warrant an apparent desecration of Shabbat to save both lives and property.
Here is Shalom Freedman's relatively brief take on this largely forgotten saga:
"There is a remarkable incident from the War of Independence reported in the 'Army Encyclopedia.' It relates to the siege of Jerusalem. According to the encyclopedia, on May 14 the commander of the Jerusalem forces came to Rabbi Goren and told him that the Jordanians were about to invade. He said that there was no available manpower to dig trenches that could protect the city in the north from where the invaders were to come. He asked Rabbi Goren to mobilize the yeshiva students, the only available population capable of doing the work.
"Rabbi Goren resisted, as this would involve causing a massive violation of the Sabbath. He said that he could not do this on his own authority, and went to Chief Rabbi Herzog who gave his heter. But this was not enough. He had to go as well to Rav [Yosef Tzvi] Dushinsky of the Eida HaHareidit, and ask his permission. Rav Dushinsky was sympathetic, but said he himself could not give permission.
"Rabbi Goren realized that the fate of the city was in his hands. So he went himself from yeshiva to yeshiva, mobilizing students for the work. Rabbi Goren, by his great conviction, was able to convince yeshiva students that the piku'ach nefesh involved in saving the city required doing this work on Shabbat, making it not a sin at all, but indeed a requirement. The students were persuaded by Rabbi Goren, and worked all night digging trenches in the northern part of the city.
"On the morning of the next day, the Jordanian tanks approached the city and the first tank that entered fell into one of the anti-tank trenches that had been built. When a second started to go in, the rest of the tanks turned around and went back.
"The city was saved from the Jordanian forces in great part due to the initiative and determination of Rabbi Goren."
A far more detailed description of this saga is related in Rabbi Goren's auto-biography, based on his diary from that time. With these two accounts, you will realize a greater appreciation of the risks taken by those over 1,000 yeshiva students, their leaders, and by Rabbi Goren himself.
The areas immediately affected by this effort are familiar to us today: Rachavia, Geula, Me'ah She'arim, Beit Yisrael and Batei Ungarin. Many of these communities now constitute the very center of western Jerusalem and are the religious and cultural heart of the city.
Digging these ditches served to save a city and, by extension, the nation itself. For had Jerusalem been overtaken and destroyed, it would not have taken long for the rest of the newly created Jewish state to have been decimated.
We have much to learn in this chapter in the history of the Holy City, lessons dealing in true religious leadership, bravery in both word and action — urgent action that resulted in the very saving of lives, lives so precious to our people especially coming on the cusp of the Holocaust.
As we approach Yom Yerushalayim, the saga related above of a history from 69 years ago should allow us all to better appreciate the final unification of Jerusalem 50 years ago.
This appreciation will best be commemorated in our liturgy and prayers on that day themed to the recitation of Hallel, of Tehillim, of praise and thanksgiving as befits our religious traditions.

Fake military officer sentenced to two years imprisonment
A man arrested for parading himself as a military officer and duping a lady of her cash of GH¢9,000.00 has been sentenced to two years imprisonment by a Kumasi Court Circuit.
Lovelace Kwabena Kwabia Brenya was additionally ordered to pay a fine of GH¢3,000.00 or have his term extended by six months.
He faced charges of impersonation, unlawful possession of military accouterment, possession of ammunition without authority, and defrauding by false pretense.
He admitted responsibility for the first three, but pleaded not guilty to the last offence.
He would be returning to court on February 21, for his innocence or otherwise of the crime he denies committing to be determined.
Police Inspector, Vida O. Apau, told the court, presided over by John Ekow Mensah, that the convict, dressed in military uniform had met the victim, Angela Adwoa Konadu at a restaurant, and introduced himself as a Lieutenant in the Ghana Armed Forces.
Brenya claimed he could get her recruited into the military and also find her a place at the barracks to set up a business and managed to swindle her of cash totaling GH9,000.00.
The lady after some time became suspicious of the tales he kept telling her, and made a report to the police.
The prosecution said he was subsequently arrested and during interrogation by investigators, he confessed he was not a soldier and a search conducted in his room revealed a set of military uniform, boots, and cartridge.

We know that everyone needs a bookshelf in one or more rooms or office of their homes; the hard part is finding the perfect one that fits the purpose as well as the space allocated.
Whether you're after a custom made bookshelf, a display cabinet, wine rack or the versatile cube unit (they are great as room dividers also), at Wildwood Designs Furniture we can custom build it to your measurements and design, or help you with ideas to achieve your perfect unit.
At our Sydney based workshop our qualified cabinet makers make sure each piece is crafted to the highest standard of workmanship and materials. Our aim is to give you a piece of furniture not only functional but timelessly beautiful and also built to last.
If you need a bespoke bookcase made in Sydney, to get the ball rolling we ask for the following. A print out or email with a rough sketch and measurements of what you are envisaging. Also think of the finish you want. We do specialise in timbers such as Tasmanian Oak, American Oak, Blackbutt, Spotted gum, Jarrah, Redgum and more. We also use materials that will keep the cost down but give the illusion that the bookshelves are solid timber. We use veneers to and mix them with solid woods to create the look of solid hardwood but not the price of solid hardwood! We can professionally paint surfaces white or black too or match an existing timber colour you may already have in the room.


I like Pizza Hut. It might be my favourite of the big pizza chains. Not that I even think the pizzas are that great, but I appreciate that they know exactly what they are: a purveyor of junky fast food.
They don't have the delusions of grandeur like some other chains; there's no "rustic" this or "artisan" that. What they will do, however, is cram cheese, hot dogs, and whatever else they can think of into a crust so oil-laden that it will leave your hands slick with grease if you handle it for even just a second or two. They'll top the pizza with stuff like poutine or butter chicken.
They know exactly what they are, and they're not ashamed of it. I like that.
Which is to say that replacing the tomato sauce in a pizza with sriracha is a distinctively Pizza Huttian creation. But is it actually good? The short answer: better than you'd think! The long answer: read on, my friend.
The base of the pizza is the standard Pizza Hut Pan Pizza. It is what it is; you either like it or you don't, and personally, I like it (and I'm a little bit in awe of how they're able to cram so much grease into the thing). It's not something you'd want to eat every day, but when you're in the mood for that crispy, greasy goodness, it satisfies.
It's topped with sriracha, green peppers, banana peppers, grilled chicken strips, and, of course, mozzarella. And they're definitely not kidding around with the sriracha: when I was driving the pizza home, it so thoroughly filled the car with that very distinctive sriracha aroma that the spice vapours actually tickled my nose a bit.
Sadly, it's not quite as spicy as I might have hoped. It's hot, don't get me wrong, but on the mild-medium-hot scale, it falls squarely in the middle. It's certainly not as spicy as any variety of sriracha that I've tried — and sriracha isn't even close to the hottest hot sauce out there. Clearly, they're using a very mild sriracha, or they're diluting it with something.
The flavour is certainly there, however — it's got that satisfyingly sweet, slightly garlicky flavour that's made sriracha so hot over the last couple of years (Get it? Hot?? World Pun Championships, here I come!).
The banana peppers are banana peppers. Personally I'm not a fan, and this pizza did nothing to change my mind. I don't mind them in theory, but every time I get them on a pizza — without fail — I wind up chomping down on a rock-hard stem. I'm convinced that banana peppers are at least 50 percent borderline-inedible stems. And they're not even that hot, so what's the point? Banana peppers are the spicy pizza topping for people who don't actually like spice.
The other toppings were fine. The green peppers added some crunch and a bit of flavour, which worked well with the other elements of the pizza. The chicken is, I'm pretty sure, of the processed variety rather than actual pieces of chicken. It's a bit rubbery, but it's okay. It's not egregious, and there's enough else going on here that you can't really tell either way.
The cheese, like the crust, is standard Pizza Hut. Gooey, slightly salty, and abundant.
All in all, it's not a bad pizza. Subbing out tomato sauce for sriracha could have been a disaster, but somehow, it works. It certainly earns its name, as that distinctive condiment is very much the dominant flavour here. I wish it were spicier, but if you like Sriracha and don't mind pizzas of the bastardized variety, I'd give this one a shot.
Pros: Serious sriracha flavour. The toppings (mostly) work pretty well together. Pizza Hut Pan Pizza crust continues to be a junky classic.
Cons: Not as spicy as you'd think. Banana peppers are the worst. Slightly chewy chicken. Realizing that the "hot" pun is not nearly good enough to get me to the World Pun Championships.

Marx Würsung (oder Marcus, oder Wirschung, Wirsing, Wyrsung oder Wirsung) (* um 1460; † Ende 1520/21) war ein Augsburger Kaufmann, Apotheker, Buchhändler und Verleger. Wirsung wiedereröffnete 1496 eine Ausburger Apotheke, jedoch wurde er ausgesprochen vermögend durch seine Tätigkeit als Kaufmann im Fernhandel. Spätestens 1502 ist er auch in den Buchhandel eingetreten. Er war ab 1517 bis zu seinem Tode Kompagnon von Siegmund Grimm. Ihre Druckoffizin war im vorreformatorischen Augsburg die wichtigste Publikationsstätte humanistischer Literatur.

Er verfasste 74 obszöne Verse "Erotisches Abenteuer mit einer Wäscherin", überliefert in Valentin Holls Sammelhandschrift.

Im Jahr 1518 besorgte er den Druck eines Turnierbüchleins, das er von Hans von der Alben erhalten hatte. Er widmete Hans von der Alben den Druck mit einem Widmungsbrief. Es wird angenommen, dass von der Alben eine handschriftliche Fassung des Turnierbüchleins von Georg Rüxner erhalten und Würsung zum Druck übergeben hatte.

1520 gab er mit Sigmund Grimm die von Ludwig Senfl edierte Motettensammlung Liber selectarum cantionum heraus, die dem damaligen Salzburger Fürsterzbischof Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg gewidmet ist. Würsungs Sohn Christoph Würsung (1500–1571) übersetzte Fernando de Rojas' Drama La Celestina unter dem Titel "Ain Hipsche Tragedia von zwaien liebhabenden mentschen", das nur eine Woche nach dem Liber selectarum cantionum erschien, ebenfalls mit einer Widmung an den Fürsterzbischof versehen.

BMW reveals new 320D ED Sport
20 July 2015 by Debbie Wood
Most efficient 3 Series Sport model in the range
The 161bhp diesel produces 104g/km
Upgraded standard equipment also available
Main image caption BMW 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series is one of the most popular company cars here in the UK and the German firm is now offering a sportier design for the popular EfficientDynamics (or 'ED') models which should appeal even more to company car drivers.
Based on the recently introduced ED Plus model, the ED Sport, as the name suggests, combines the sporting design characteristics of Sport trim to the efficiency of the 320d ED engine. It's available in both saloon and estate (named Touring) bodystyles.
Powered by the new 2-litre diesel engine and available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic, the new model emits 104g/km of CO2 (manual cars emit 108g/km) which means a 18 percent BIK tax band for the current 2015/16 tax year.
Thanks to an extensive suite of EfficientDynamics technologies, the new BMW 320d ED Sport Saloon has an impressive combined fuel consumption of 70.6mpg, yet still offers 161bhp and 400Nm of torque which enables the car to accelerate from a 0-62mph in just 7.8 seconds for the Saloon and 8.1 seconds for Touring models. The same sprint takes 0.1 seconds longer for both manual cars.
For the Touring models running costs are also very good with a combined fuel economy figure of 67.3mpg (65.7mpg for the manual) and CO2 emissions as low as 111g/km meaning a 20 percent BIK tax band for the current tax year.
The gains in fuel economy and CO2 are largely down to improved Active Air Flaps integrated into the kidney grill and a lowered suspension set-up, both working to improve aerodynamics and overall performance and efficiency.
With a P11D price from £30,150 the new ED Sport will cost a 20 percent company car driver from £95 a month for the current tax year which is very competitive considering the performance on offer from the engine.
Another bit of good news for company car drivers is that the 320 ED Sport comes with more standard equipment with highlights including 17-inch light-alloy wheels, sat-nav, a selection of Dakota leather upholsteries, Sports steering wheel, unique trim finishers and heated sports front seats.
According to BMW, The ED Sport provides an additional £840 of standard equipment for only £500 more than the ED Plus model.

When I was younger me and Trevor albritton rannon and caleb Holton where camping when we decided to go fourwheeler riding. We all saddled up the bikes and headed down Littletons loop headed for what used to be called Dillards now the point store.
Caleb was riding with me and rannon was riding with Trevor when we passed a creek bottom we have seen a million times during the day but never at night... We drove by it and we saw and felt nothing.
We went up the road and turned around to go back.... We all looked and saw then what caleb had seen.. There was a lady with long dark hair sitting on a stump with a young shild standing in front of her and it looked like she was brushing the childs hair..

Exhibitions of real life artworks in Second Life often seem less successful than real life artworks exhibited in real life, or virtual artworks being exhibited in the virtual world. Perhaps the conundrum rests in part on the relatively low resolution (1024x1024 pixels maximum) that prohibits a truly high definition view of artwork in Second Life, or perhaps it's the way in which art is displayed. If it's the latter, then the Vordun Museum and Gallery has tackled the challenge admirably, as organizer and curator Jake Vordun has created a truly gorgeous space for exhibitions that is sure to delight any visitor. The Vordun features a large main gallery (pictured above) and two smaller spaces (lower two images), in addition to a gift shop; attractive sculptures by Jake are situated in the front garden of the museum.
Visitors will want to accept the experience as they arrive, permitting the attachment of a HUD for in-depth audio commentary. The large main gallery currently features European Masters: 300 Years of Painting, an exhibition that features historic paintings from 1500 through 1799 by artists such as van Eyk, Vélazquez, Rembrandt, Bruegel, Arcimboldo, Gainsborough, Rubens and Holbein. In the adjacent South Wing, showing until October 9, is A Night to Remember, an immersive exhibition that explores the ship Titanic and its fateful maiden voyage. "Upon entrance, visitors will receive a card with the name, age and class of an actual Titanic passenger," says Jake. "They'll then begin their chronological journey through six galleries, moving from the ship's constructions, to life on board, to its ill-fated strike of an iceberg. In the final gallery, guests can take their boarding pass to the memorial wall and discover the actual fate of their passenger." And in the smaller North Wing is an exhibition of images, Lip Service, by Celeste Forwzy (a.k.a. Jim), which will remain on display until September 19. If you enjoy your visit, please consider leaving a contribution in support of the Vordun, and visit the museum's website for current information.

We have received numerous requests from businesses seeking to understand insurance coverage for phishing scams. Many of these businesses have become the victim of phishing attacks and are pursuing claims for coverage.
Computer email scams are increasing on an alarming rate. The FBI reports that companies have been swindled out of billions of dollars due to email scams over the past few years. To counteract this, the FBI recently issued public service warnings to businesses about criminals using bogus email accounts to pose as CEOs to trick financial controllers into wiring funds to the fraudsters' bank accounts. See FBI's Public Service Announcements, www.fbi.gov. Last year, Equifax, one of the three major credit reporting agencies in the US, announced a data breach affecting 143 million customers, based on hackers accessing Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses, and driver's license numbers.
Most companies have experienced these types of scams first-hand. The reason for this is that phishing scams have become more and more sophisticated over time. We all know to look out for that email from a Nigerian prince asking us to hold $10 million dollars of money for them. We also know not to respond to a bank asking us to "click here" to verify user names and passcodes. With organizations, the scams have become much more sophisticated. Cyber criminals hack into an organization's internal computer system so that they can send what look bona fide emails from a CEO or CFO requesting the payment of invoices to a "new" bank, which coincidentally is located in China. Employees who get one of these emails from their management, naturally respond asking for confirmation. Those emails are then intercepted by the cyber-criminal, and the cyber-criminal responds saying that all is ok.
Insurance companies are responding to these scams by offering specialized policies, for additional premiums of course, specifically addressing these risks or adding coverage to their standard Fidelity/Crime or Cyber Liability policies, typically under the moniker of "Deception Fraud" or "Social Engineering" insuring agreements. As with most things in the world of insurance, the devil is in the details, but some of the insurance coverage bought to specifically to cover phishing scams is worthless.
Here's how many insurance companies are deceiving their corporate policyholders. "Deception Fraud" and "Social Engineering Fraud" are so broadly defined in the policies that they cover nearly every possible computer scam. For example, in the currently available Private Choice Premier Policy, Crime Coverage Part offered by The Hartford Insurance Company, "Deception Fraud" is defined as "the intentional misleading of a person to induce the Insured to part with Money or Securities by someone, other than an identified Employee, pretending to be an Employee, owner of the Insured, . . . a Vendor, a Customer, a Custodian, or a Messenger." Incredibly broad, which is exactly what companies want to protect them against risks, right? Not so fast. This coverage may come with a very small sub-limit of $50,000-$100,000, whereas other coverages under these same policies may have limits of between $1-$5 million.
What's even worse (and here comes the true deception) is the fact that insurers often take the position that losses falling under "Deception Fraud" or "Social Engineering Fraud" cannot also be covered under other higher limits insuring agreements, such as "Computer Fraud" or "Funds Transfer Fraud" (which are typical coverages in Fidelity/Crime policies). Insurers argue that, despite higher limits under other coverage grants, that the loss nonetheless must be recognized as a "Deception Fraud" or "Social Engineering Loss" only, subject to a small limit of insurance. In other words, heads insurers win, tails policyholders lose. Given this widely adopted position of insurers, Policyholders were better off rejecting these new highly promoted enhancements to coverage and relying upon coverage they previously had.
Insurance coverage for There's nothing more disappointing and frustrating than to spends thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars buying insuring policies to protect against the risk of fraud, only to have an insurance accompany argue that it sold a nearly worthless policy. Corporate policyholders should review their current and prospective policies to spot this and other clever limitations, and demand appropriate changes. If a company has already become a victim to phishing, however, it is not too late to challenge an insurance company regarding this kind of position which creates an unnecessary and unwarranted gap in coverage and retain coverage counsel to assess all options.

4th Grader Gets Huge Box From Military Brother With Sweetest Surprise Inside.
Sometimes, big surprises come in BIG boxes.
One gray February afternoon, nine-year-old Connor Dobbyn came home from school to find his mother, Jessica Poth, irritated with him. "Hey, why didn't you tell me that Brad sent you something?" She asks the child as he ambles across the lawn towards their Cleveland, South Carolina home.
Connor is confused; his brother Brad, who has been stationed in Florida for Army training for the past few months, hadn't told him to expect a package at all. Yet when the boy enters the house, he sees that his mom was right — there's a huge cardboard box sitting there, and it's got Connor's name on it.
Tentatively, Connor starts to pick at the blue tape holding the box closed. Just as he's started to get it open, a voice booms out of it. Connor jumps back, so startled that he even started to cuss (oops!).
As Connor stands back in awe, the family's two dogs start wagging their tails in recognition. Next thing you know, there's Connor's brother Brad Marek himself, in the flesh!
Talk about the greatest gift ever!
Connor couldn't wait to give his big brother a gigantic hug! Brad refuses to stop holding the boy — it's clear that they share a very special sibling bond that even time and distance could not weaken.
We've seen a lot of heartwarming military homecoming videos, but this one is so special. It's wonderful to see a family this close, and the world could always use a few more great surprises for little boys.
Welcome home, Brad! We hope you had a fabulous visit with your family. Thank you for serving!
Watch this beautiful family moment below, and be sure to share!


Our company uses WebGUI as a Content Management Framework to build advanced websites for our customers. Of course we use it also for our own website.
That would be in 2001 when we were looking for a content management system for our own site. I was attracted by the clear functional Perl code.
When we started to work with WebGUI for our own site, we saw the high potential for our customers. We started developing our own features.
Well, our customers pay us, so that would be a yes.
Our whole company is based upon WebGUI and that does not stop at home, so I think it is more then 40 hours.
The adoption by the rest of the world. WebGUI's quality is far better than so many other systems. People should know that and start using WebGUI.
The quality of the design of the code is very good and is still evolving into WebGUI 8.
For me it is the ability to extend WebGUI with your own code using the extended API. Therefore, we can build every (even the strange) feature as the client wants it.
Out of the box, WebGUI is quite difficult to learn. If we can build a simple setup to learn WebGUI in easy steps, it will add to the adoption of WebGUI. We want to achieve that in the new WebGUIStarter project. We will present this before the end of this year.
It is based on Perl and has a very good API.
Have you attended the WebGUI Users Conference?
I have attended all 6 of them. It is the best way to keep up.
I have 1 on the bookshelf, 1 in the baby room, 2 behind the windshield of the Oqapi Smart car, and of course 1 on my desk.
I am a calm guy with an always positive mood. I like to get things done and am always willing to try new things.
I am married to Leonie Zeestraten.
At this time we have no kids, but by the time you read this, things could be different. My wife is almost 9 months pregnant.
Only a shrimp in a bowl, tested by NASA (ecosphere).
If you're not from Holland, you should go on a sailing trip through Friesland. Closer to my home we should visit the centre of Delft with its old buildings and nice little bars.
Injustice, it kills a good working society.
Justice, my wife and my whole life. The world around me is just great. I have a nice house with a nice garden, a wife and almost a kid. What more do you need?
Yes by the Pet Shop Boys.
Play Monkey Island on my Iphone.
Let's keep up the good work towards WebGUI 8. See you all at the WUC 2010.

Food in Mexico: 30+ Dishes You Need in Your Life
The most difficult question I'm asked is my favourite cuisine, it's like asking a mother to choose her favourite child. But if I had to choose to eat only from one country for the rest of my life I would choose food in Mexico.
And that's because Mexico is so diverse. You could spend your entire life just eating and only taste a fraction of Mexican food.
READ MORE: 29 Traditional Mexican Drinks
Mexico is a gigantic country with food that varies drastically from East to West and North to South.
But one thing is for certain, authentic Mexican food doesn't taste like anything from Taco Bell in the United States. And I recommend people visiting Mexico, if only for the food!

Food in Mexico You Need to Try
Chicharron
These pork rinds are very popular as snacks in Mexico. They can be bought by themselves, usually in a bag. Also, they are sometimes served with sauce.
It is common to see them crushed on tacos with avocado, cheese and a hot chili sauce.
A type of antojito, or snack in Mexico, gorditas as small stuffed corn cakes. They are often stuffed with cheese and meat and then deep fried. It's not the healthiest antojito but it is delicious.
Mexican Antojitos
Calabacitas Guisada
This popular comfort food in Mexico is a great vegetarian option.
Simply cut zucchini into small coins and stew along with garlic, tomatoes and cheddar cheese.
Steamed pockets of corn dough that are very popular in Mexico, the range of fillings includes sweet and savoury options.
The basic tamale is a masa or dough of corn that is steamed in either a corn husk or banana leaf.
I learned how to make these in Felipe Carrillo Puerto with friends who were preparing them for Dia de los Muertos, as an offering to those who had passed.
Street Food in the Yucatan
It can be eaten plain. But it's also delicious with chicken or pork in a tomato salsa.
These are very inexpensive sides or snacks in Mexico. It is also common to find tamales in Nicaragua, Guatemala and Cuba.
Although I think they are the most delicious in Mexico.
Codzitos
These small tacos are most commonly found as street foods in the Yucatan peninsula.
They look like flautas or taquitos but have may not may not have a filling.
Sometimes they are simply deep fried rolled tortillas topped with a bit of sauce and served free with a beer.
Tlayuda
I first ate this in Oaxaca, where it is from. However, you can find it in other places around Mexico, but always referred to as a dish from Oaxaca.
In tourist restaurants they are served like a flour tortilla pizza with meat, cheese and cabbage as toppings.
However, Mexicans eat them folded. Make sure you get them a topping of asiento, a delicious rendered pork fat that makes them truly decadent.
These sandwiches are made with a large crusty white bread roll. They are usually filled with meat, avocado or eggs.
Sometimes they are served with sides such as tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and mole sauces.
Although they are typically street food, if you pay a bit more you get better quality.
One of my favourite restaurants in Playa del Carmen is a little torta shop, it costs $1 more but the tortas are larger and use higher quality ingredients.
The 39 Best Sandwiches in the World
Elote/Esquites
If you've had corn on the cob that was dressed with some chile powder, mayonnaise and cheese you can thank Mexico for this.
Elote is corn that can be eaten on the cobb or it's taken off the cob and served in a cup with toppings but then it's called esquites.
It's a great vegetarian or vegan option for food in Mexico because you can customize it easily.
While there could be a list of 100 tacos to eat in Mexico the king of tacos is Al Pastor. This Mexican street food has international influence.
Al pastor means shepherd style and it's made differently from other tacos in Mexico.
Lebanese immigrants started arriving in Mexico in the late 1800s and they introduced the rotating spit.
Al pastor uses this spit to slice off pork and serve on corn tortillas.
Carnitas is also one of the most popular tacos in Mexico and found throughout the country. To make it pork is braised several hours until tender.
MAKE IT AT HOME: Instant Pot Carnitas
It's put on a taco and unless you have an allergy, you should say yes to it also being topped with fresh cilantro and onion!
Like many Mexican foods, quesadillas can be stuffed with a range of other ingredients.
It's a perfect snack in Mexico and is rarely stuffed to the brim like we see at home.
The original recipe is a grilled tortilla with Oaxaca cheese and served on the street.
But today there are franchises like Las Quekas, which serve everything from pork and beef to zucchini flowers and huitlacoche.
MAYAN RECIPE:
Sikil Pak
One of the Mexican dishes from the Jalisco state, and is originally made from goat but you can find other meats as well.
It's considered a special celebration food and is quite spicy.
You can also find birria in other countries such as Ecuador. It's a versatile dish but one that requires a good cook because goat stew isn't always great.
MAKE IT AT HOME:
Mexican Birria
In Mexican cuisine, mole refers to a sauce. Kind of like how curry just means sauce in Indian food.
In the UNESCO Gastronomy city of Oaxaca they have 7 officially recognized types of mole.
Outside the city you usually find two types of mole: one with poblano sauce and another with chiles, nuts and chocolate.
Cochinita Pibil
Traditionally this food in Mexico was made with a roast suckling pig cooked in banana leaves underground.
Today this slow roasted dish can also be made with a variety of different cuts and some people make it with a pork shoulder in the oven or slow cooker.
Yucatan Style Mexican Pulled Pork
However, the core of the recipe has not changed in Mexico. Traditional ingredients for cochinita pibil still include bitter orange juice and achiote.
A traditional dish from the Yucatan, it's served on corn tortillas and pickled red onions.
In the Maya Riviera there are some street food vendors which serve it in the mornings.
You have to get there before it runs out at lunch time. Locals love it with a bit of Coca Cola as they think the sweetness balances out the flavour.
The poblano pepper used for this Mexican food is particularly common in Puebla but you can find it all over the country from colonial Mexican cities to smaller pueblos.
A poblano pepper is then stuffed with cheese, meat and vegetables. Then often coated in an egg or corn flour batter and deep fried.
It is often served with a tomato based sauce or salsa. It can also be served on a tortilla for chile relleno tacos.
The poblano isn't a spicy pepper so it's great for everyone.
This traditional dish is made by stuffing a pepper with meat, fruits and herbs. The stuffed pepper is covered in a white walnut sauce and red pomegranate seeds.
Along with the green pepper, this Mexican dish gives the appearance of all three colours of the Mexican flag.
These 'rancher's eggs' are a popular breakfast that as been exported beyond Mexico.
However, the traditional version is made with fried eggs and a tomato and chile sauce on top of a corn tortilla.
A traditional Mexican soup made with hominy and meat (usually pork).
It is served with a tower of toppings from radish to fried tortillas, which makes it incredibly customizable.
MAKE IT AT HOME: Red Pozole Recipe
Pozole is typically red or white, meaning its absent of chile peppers. However, food in Mexico changes from region to region.
In the west, the city of Colima has pozole seco or dry pozole that is more of a hominy mash than a soup.
Menudo
This spicy soup is made by creating a broth with red chili peppers, cilantro, lime, onions and beef tripe.
Mexican families will often make a large batch which can be chilled and reheated so that it can make several meals.
But it is usually a late night (after work or drinking) or Sunday afternoon food in Mexico.
Some swear it is the perfect hangover cure.
There are some menudo restaurants, particularly in Colima on the west coast, actually open at midnight and serve menudo until noon.
Sopa De Lima
Commonly found in the Yucatan peninsula, this soup is made with lime, avocado, crunchy corn tortillas and chicken.
Sopa de lima is a tasty meal which gets a great zing from the limes in the recipe.
Chapulines
Another great dish from Oaxaca, chapulines are a type of fried grasshopper.
They were originally eaten by the indigenous population and are still common today as a snack.
Often they are flavoured in chile and lime, or garlic.
You can find them in the market in some cities or in tourist areas touts will walk around selling them to foreigners.
Escamoles
Often described to visitors to Mexico as one of the iconic foods, escamoles are not for the squeamish.
They are the edible larvae and pupae of a large species of giant black ant that is found around the Mexico City area.
They are usually cooked in butter and onions.
This marinated fish dish is found throughout Latin America.
There are several versions of ceviche in Mexico, with the most unusual being found around Veracruz, where the sauce used to marinate the fish is drained, to make a 'dry' ceviche.
Mexican Fish Ceviche
These corn tortillas are available throughout the country and are stuffed with seafood, vegetables or meat.
Enchiladas are a popular Honduran food. It's also very much a regional food in Mexico, depending on what is available locally.
But it's almost smothered in a delicious chile pepper sauce.
Mexican Desserts
This sponge cake is soaked in three types of milk to give it a very moist texture. This is what makes it amazing.
It's common throughout Latin America and is one of the most popular Honduran desserts.
Cream, condensed milk and evaporated milk makes it a very tasty dessert that is lighter than many people expect.
The name of these sweet breads come from the shell-like appearance.
They are a type of pastry that is often eaten at breakfast or as a late supper, along with hot chocolate or coffee.
These strips of sweet choux pastry are often eaten as a breakfast food.
They are a cross over from Spanish food, and can be found throughout Latin America.
23 DELICIOUS: Cinco de Mayo Desserts
Often they can be sprinkled with sugar and a chocolate sauce. There are also filled options, where the pastry is stuffed with dulce de leche, cajeta or chocolate.
They are a great dessert street food along with chocobananos.
Perhaps one of the most iconic desserts that also came from Spain, flan is a an egg custard dessert.
It's different from Cuban flan as it uses fresh milk, and sometimes cream cheese.
It's very common to see everywhere in Mexico from small local restaurants to Michelin star as it is so adaptable.
25 DELICIOUS: Peruvian Desserts
In Mexico, these sweet treats are made with fried dough. It becomes light and fluffy during cooking, creating small hollow pillows.
These can be used to hold honey or other sweet liquids, which make for a wonderful tasty dessert.
Drinks in Mexico
Another hangover cure in Mexico, it is similar in theory to the bloody mary in America or the caesar drink in Canada.
Easy Michelada Recipe
It combines a light beer with tomato or Clamato juice (only typically found in Canada and Mexico), lime juice and soy sauce.
It is common in Mexican restaurants to offer the Michelada as an add-on price to any beer you choose. Like the caesar and bloody mary, some people like it to be spicy so hot sauce is optional.
If you don't like tomato juice have no fear, there's always the equally delicious chelada beer cocktail.
This white drink in Mexico varies depending on where you go, although the flavour profile usually stays the same.
The traditional recipe for horchata uses rice, milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
But some restaurants have their own twist and will add coconut milk or nutmeg.
It's also common to find horchata in other countries in Latin America.
A fruit drink found throughout Mexico. The most common flavours are jamaica, which is a red drink made from the hibiscus flower, and tamarindo made from tamarind.
Agua fresca is almost always included for free when you order a set meal for lunch in Mexico. It can be quite sugary depending on local tastes.
Fun Fact: Jamaica is also one of the most popular drinks in Jamaica.
A distilled alcohol made from agave, mezcal actually has the worm not tequila.
Mezcal is primarily produced in the regions in and around Oaxaca.
Like all spirits, you get what you pay for and cheap mezcal will leave you with a headache. Go to a reputable mezcal shop to try different varieties.
Xtabentún
An alcoholic beverage from the Mayans, xtabentun is basically ancient mead, or fermented honey, flavoured with anise.
While it is very common in the Yucatan, you can find it elsewhere in Mexico. It can be drank straight or mixed into a coffee as it's so sweet.
