Does anyone know where to get good Jewish flat bread? I grew up near Montreal (Quebec) and there was a Jewish family that we were friends with close by.

I live in California now. Thanks!!!

Those slim, rectangular cardstock coupons, usually at front desks in Williamsburg, VA? Slightly odd question, but I've been running around Williamsburg all day looking for coupons and am short of luck! I'm a student at the College and used an orange "Free Chips and Queso at California Tortilla" coupon today from a friend, and have been running around like crazy trying to find another. I've hit up the Campus Center but had no luck (though they do have a few other coupons). Is anyone from the area and know where else I can find this orange coupon?? I swear there are numerous counters boasting these little rectangular cardstock coupons, but I can't find any and it's driving me insane :) Thank you!

Are public schools going too far? I live in California, and my kids go to public elementary school. This year, they have come up with this new nutrition plan, I refer to as the "Snack Nazies". I am not aloud to send pudding, chips, capri sun, or anything that is not light, fat free or sugar free in their lunch. However, the cafeteria still bakes cookies and sells them for .50c and serves pizza, hot dogs, and very fatty tortilla chips. Not to mention chocolate milk and french fries..... How is that right? They have even taken homemade peanut butter cookies away from my boys at lunch..... how can they do that????? Have they gone too far?

please help! proofreading the following paragraph? Both of my parents (mom and dad) were born in El Salvador. My dad was born in 1958 in San Salvador. Ever since he was 10 years of age, he has been doing cultivating my grandfather's crop. San Salvador is the capital of El Salvador, and the population is continually increasing minute after minute. His english is terrible, he did not graduate from middle school but he did graduate from elementary. Everyday he went to work with my grandfather before the sun rose and before the weather got humid. My mom was born in 1951 in Solluton, El Salvador. My mom is always referring me as, mijo. It seems like she always prepares frijoles with tortilla most of the time which we eat 2 times a day breakfast and dinner. I find it like a Salvadorian tradition that only women were able to serve pupusas with tamales because there is a specific way to serve that plate. My mother was born with both of her parents and she was always active in church activities. The types of shows my mother usually watches are called, "novelas" which are spanish soapopera. My mother was a secretary in El Salvador but as she flew towards California she lost her job. My mom said it is different over in El Salvador than it is in California. Finally, they still carry flags and root for El Salvador when they're playing futbol (soccer).

Should the U.S apologize for 1930s deportation? calfornia already has.? USA TODAY April 4, 2006, n.p. Copyright © 2006 USA Today. Distributed by Knight-Ridder/Tribune Information Services. April 4, 2006. All rights reserved. Reprinted by permission. U.S. Urged to Apologize for 1930s Deportations By Wendy Koch USA TODAY His father and oldest sister were farming sugar beets in the fields of Hamilton, Mont., and his mother was cooking tortillas when 6-year-old Ignacio Pina saw plainclothes authorities burst into his home. "They came in with guns and told us to get out," recalls Pina, 81, a retired railroad worker in Bakersfield, Calif., of the 1931 raid. "They didn't let us take anything," not even a trunk that held birth certificates proving that he and his five siblings were U.S.-born citizens. The family was thrown into a jail for 10 days before being sent by train to Mexico. Pina says he spent 16 years of "pure hell" there before acquiring papers of his Utah birth and returning to the United States. The deportation of Pina's family tells an almost-forgotten story of a 1930s anti-immigrant campaign. Tens of thousands, and possibly more than 400,000, of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans were pressured--through raids and job denials--to leave the United States during the Great Depression, according to a USA TODAY review of documents and interviews with historians and deportees. Many, mostly children, were U.S. citizens. If their tales seem incredible, a USA TODAY analysis of the history textbooks used most in U.S. middle and high schools may explain why: Little has been written about the "repatriation." That may soon change. As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on bills that would either help illegal workers become legal residents or boost enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, an effort to reveal deportations that happened 70 years ago has recently gained traction: On Thursday, Rep. Hilda Solis, D-Calif., plans to introduce a bill in the U.S. House that calls for a commission to study the "deportation and coerced emigration" of U.S. citizens and legal residents. The panel would also recommend remedies that could include reparations. "An apology should be made," she says. Co-sponsor Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., says history may repeat itself. He says a recently passed House bill, which makes being an illegal immigrant a felony, could prompt a "massive deportation of U.S. citizens," many of them U.S.-born children leaving with their parents. "We have safeguards to ensure people aren't deported who shouldn't be," says Jeff Lungren, GOP spokesman for the House Judiciary Committee, adding the new House bill retains those safeguards. In January, California became the first state to enact a bill that apologizes to Latino families for the civil rights violations of the 1930s. It declined to approve the sort of reparations the U.S. Congress provided in 1988 for Japanese-Americans interned during World War II. Democratic state Sen. Joe Dunn, a self-described "Irish white guy from Minnesota" who sponsored the state bill, is now pushing a measure to require students be taught about the 1930s emigration. He says as many as 2 million people of Mexican ancestry were coerced to leave, 60 percent of them U.S. citizens. In October, a group of deportees and their children, known as "los repatriados," will host a conference in Detroit on the topic. Organizer Helen Herrada, whose father was deported, has conducted 100 oral histories and produced a documentary. She says many sent to Mexico felt "humiliated" and didn't want to talk about it. "They just don't want it to happen again." No precise figures exist on how many of those deported in the 1930s were illegal immigrants. Since many of those harassed left on their own, and their journeys were not officially recorded, there are also no exact figures on the total number who departed. At least 345,839 people went to Mexico from 1930 to 1935, with 1931 as the peak year, says a 1936 dispatch from the U.S. Consulate General in Mexico City. "It was a racial removal program," says Mae Ngai, an immigration history expert at the University of Chicago, arguing people of Mexican nationality were targeted.
