The Real Gandhi!
The real Indian Pacifist we all know is set up as a hoax by the corporations. He was not born as late as we would be led to believe. He was born 50 years before Jesus. This means that if he was shot, which he wasn't, then Jesus would have been gunned down too. Of course, this is all relative and as such Dr. Dre got a bit pissed off with Jesus fo' real and decided to bust a cap in his ass along with all the other Greek bitches that were getting up in his business yo. Word.

Leon Springs, Texas
Leon Springs is on Interstate 10, approximately 19 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio in northwestern Bexar County. In 1846, Leon Springs was the site of a stagecoach stop operated by George von Pleve, a German nobleman and immigrant. A post office was established in 1857, and by 1885 the town had a steam cotton gin, a general store, two hotels, and a population of 50. During World War I, Leon Springs was the site of an officers' training camp. The post office was closed in 1918, and by the mid-1930s the population had fallen to 25. The town began to grow again during World War II due to activity at Camp Stanley and Camp Bullis, in the nearby Leon Springs Reservation. In 1946, the community had a population of 100. Subsequently, the number of residents remained steady, and in 1990 the reported population was 137.

Leon Springs, Texas: Home of the Leon Springs Dancehall, Rudy's Bar-B-Que and the original Macaroni Grill. Leon Springs even has it's own elementary school! Popular neighborhoods/subdivisions within the area include The Dominion, Scenic Oaks,

Eighth Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers
The Eighth Regiment was organized at Camp Buckingham, Hartford, in September, 1861, It was first commanded by Col. Edward Harland of Norwich. The regiment left Hartford Oct. 17, 1861. It held a camp of instruction at Jamaica, Long Island, and there received its colors. It proceeded to Annapolis, where it spent the fall. Early in January, 1862, the Eighth sailed with the Burnside Expedition to North Carolina as part of the Ninth Corps. It was held in reserve during the battle of Roanoke Island.

It was engaged in the battle of Newberne, N.C. March 14, 1862. The Eighth then participated in the successful siege of Fort Macon, N.C., April 1862. From there the Eighth proceeded to Fredricksburg in July, 1862. On September 1st, the Eighth accompanied the Union Army to Washington, and on September 8th, joined the Maryland Campaign, including action at South Mountain.

The Battle of Antietam on September 17th, 1862, resulted in a greater number of casualties for the regiment than any other engagement of the war. Along with other regiments of Harland's Brigade, the Eighth marched downstream from Burnside's Bridge, and crossed the Antietam at Snaveley's Ford. They proceeded up the slopes towards Sharpsburg to attack the Confederates, finally being repulsed by reenforcements under Gen. A.P. Hill at the close of the day's fighting.

After Antietam, the Eighth stayed in Pleasant Valley til marching back to Fredricksburg, with the Army of the Potomac, assuming their old camps at the Lacey House. Soon it was involved in the contested crossing of the Rappahannock, the Battle of Fredericksburg on December 13th, 1862, and was held in reserve during the bloody repulses that followed.

Following their participation in Burnside's Mud March, the Eighth took leave of the Ninth Corps early in 1863, and went to Newport News, then to Suffolk, Virginia. They participated in the siege there for several months. It was there that the Eighth, now under Col. John Ward, attacked Fort Huger and took it by surprise in a daring raid. The regiment remained in the Portsmouth area during the summer, and participated in the "Blackberry Raid" demonstration in force.

In December 1863, the Eighth re-enlisted 310 original members, and in January were home on veteran furloughs.

The year of 1864 found the Eighth returned to southeastern Virginia and had now been transferred to the Eighteenth Corps. There they participated in the battles of Walthall Junction, Fort Darling, Drewry's Bluff, Cold Harbor, and the siege of Petersburg. In September, they served on Bermuda Hundred, and across the James River. September 29th, they fought at Fort Harrison and Chaffins' Farm, which was their last engagement of the war.

The Eighth was with the Army of the Potomac in its final advance on Richmond in the spring of 1865. After Gen. Lee's surrender at Appomattox, the Eighth moved to Lynchburg, Virginia where it performed police and provost duties until it was mustered out of service December 12th, 1865, serving a longer term than all but two other Connecticut regiments.

Spread Nouveau Comfort Food
Spread Nouveau Comfort Food

Company headquartered in San Diego, CA that encompasses both an award winning, nationally recognized vegetarian restaurant as well as an innovative, groundbreaking product line of over 100 flavors of peanut & almond spreads produced by hand.

Created by husband & wife team Andrew & Robin Schiff in 2004, Spread is recognized as one of the most creative and relevant restaurants operating in the United States. As a product line of over 100 organic, handmade nut based spreads artisanally produced and sold exclusively through a private client program and their own outlets. Spread was the first company to create a product line of high-end nut spreads, utilizing rare ingredients like edible precious metals and rare, antioxidant rich culinary favorites ranging from goji berries to dark chocolate mixed with curry spices. Without relying on any traditional culinary training, knowledge, or experience, the creators and owners of the company relied entirely on their belief that nourishment should be both appealing to the eye/palate as well as energizing to the body. Eschewing conventional restaurant practices, Spread restaurant operates by solely dealing directly with local farmers & artisans who are committed to utilizing organic practices in growing their crops. While Spread is the only restaurant in the US committed to exclusively working with local, organic, small producers, the company's recognition by customers & communities around the globe has created a global awareness of their unique philosophy of the relationship between the consumer (the diner) and the edible crops rarely seen by restaurant diners and rarely recognized by most palates. The company's focus on creating ever-changing menus based upon heirloom vegetables, edible flowers, and rare ingredients has created a new category for chefs around the globe to consider-- becoming the first and only strictly vegetarian restaurant to forego soy, tempeh, and other meat or dairy substitutes in favor of dishes based on each day's unique ingredients. Considered controversial within the vegetarian, vegan, as well as conventionally dining communities for their radical approach to today's modern restaurant ideologies, there are no menus given out to diners and no alcoholic offerings other than those made in house (no wine list, no beer list).

Keno Drive in Theater
The Keno Drive in Theater is one of the few in a dwindling number of old-style drive in movie venues. It is the remaining one of two drive in theaters that existed in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the other being the MidCity Drive In which existed at the other extreme border of Kenosha County. The Mid City was located on North Sheridan Road, just before the border with Racine County. That site is now a housing development.

The Keno Drive In features current first-run double features, starting in spring through fall each year. It now uses a sound system by which the sound tracks of the movie are received via a vehicle's on board radio. Remnants of the past are seen in the poles which still exist which formerly serviced the old-fashioned heavy metal speakers which hooked onto the window of the vehicles.

Although the "playground equipment" that formerly existed in this and other drive in venues is no longer there, a lawn area in front of the large screen remains and is used by children for play during breaks in the shows.

Information regarding the Keno Drive In Theater can be found at its website: http://www.kenodrivein.net/

Thomas Vaught
SrA Thomas Vaught US Air Force EOD

Thomas was stationed in Iraq for almost six months this past year while serving in the United States Air Force. During his tour of duty he had the joy of encountering many native animals over there!

Thomas lived in Baghdad during his stay in Iraq. He says that most of these animals lived in the vicinity of his actually living quarters and were often seen lounging around.

Thomas states that, ""Dog" just hung out with the gate guards most of the time and pretty much adopted them. He helped them out by growling or wagging his tail to approve or disapprove incoming vehicles.

"Dog" also liked to play catch with rocks, and since the whole area was gravel, he would run to about where the rock landed, grab a random rock and bring it back. He was a great dog and a great morale boost for those who were standing at the gate for 12-14 hours a day."

Fricot
Fricot is a stew traditionally and commonly prepared in Acadia, the francophone parts of Atlantic Canada, New England and Louisiana. The original potato fricot was prepared by early Acadians when neither meat or fish was available and was given the tongue-in-cheek name 'fricot à la belette' (weasel fricot). It is famous for its trademark flour-and-milk dumplings and now includes chicken -Fricot au poulet- and can also be made with fish, rabbit, beef, pork, game or the traditional Poutine râpée.
