Trudy’s is a local Tex-Mex restaurant and bar in Austin, Texas. It’s is well known for its fabulous Tex-Mex and great drinks including the famous Mexican martini. It has three primary locations and one “sister” café. There is the “North Star” location at Burnet and 183, the “Texas Star” location at 30th and Guadalupe, and the “South Star” location at Little TX Lane and IH-35. The sister is called the South Congress Café which is also locally owned by the same owners. Trudy’s is moderately priced for the great quality of food, drinks, and service. It’s casual but fun environment attracts a variety of guests which results in a very high-volume restaurant. The service is extraordinary, despite the occasional glitch in which case the management does a fabulous job in taking care of. It seems as though Trudy’s tries to exceed all the expectations of its guests to keep them more than happy and always willing to come back. The menu at Trudy’s has a decent variety of food to offer, all for an affordable price. Other than the typical Tex-Mex, (tacos, enchiladas, nachos etc…) they have items from salads, to chicken fried steak, to fish and shrimp tacos, to stuffed avocados, to mango tilapia quesadillas. Some items on the menu that are found at other Tex-Mex or Mexican restaurants are typically served with better quality at Trudy’s. From personal experience, I’ve had “flaquities” at Serranos as well as at Trudy’s and Trudy’s won by a long shot. Not only that, but I’ve also had enchiladas at Tres Amigos and Trudy’s, and again, Trudy’s wasn’t comparable. The food always comes out in less than 20 minutes and is typically still steaming, depending on what was ordered. They also have two monthly specials along with different daily specials for each day of the week. The prices for food items are very moderately priced, none exceeding about $10 or $11. This keeps people coming back

Aunt Trudy's Candy Substance Abuse

...Drug and alcohol use was consecutively worse in the people who directly received trauma. Uncle Mick and Aunt Trudy both had very serious addictions while Aunt Kate and Al lived more normal lives. This came from the fact that Mick and Trudy were both sent to residential schools when they were young, where they were abused. Kate was already married and Al was too young, so neither of them were forced to attend residential schools. You could see this impact on their lifestyles. Aunt Kate was a good mother, raising Erica and taking care of her mother, however her sister lived with a lot of resentment towards her mother for sending her away. This was a common problem throughout the novel, and Aunt Trudy would often turn to alcohol instead of to her family for support, and she refused to go visit her mother after she had her stroke. Aunt Trudy had a very serious drinking problem and it directly affected her daughter, Tabitha. Trudy would often get blackout drunk, leaving Tab to take care of herself. Trudy often is very verbally abusive towards Tab when she gets drunk, saying things like “you think you’re so good. You think you’re so special. Don’t you?” (128) and later going on to call her a whore. When Lisa angered Trudy, she told Lisa that her Uncle Mick was a drunk and that he had an affair with her mother. The next day when Lisa asked Trudy about this, she didn’t recall saying anything and assumed that Aunt Kate and Erica had been the one’s gossiping. Even though Aunt Trudy was...

...Analyzing Ava ta r: A Rev iew Essa y Nekeisha Alexis-Baker By the time I decided to see James Cameron’s Avatar, I had already heard enough about the film to be unsure whether it would be worth the time, effort and petroleum to see it. People’s comments about the film ranged from praise for its groundbreaking 3D animation; to criticism of its racist portrayal of the indigenous; to disappointment with the overly predictable storytelling; to appreciation for its critique of colonization and civilization. I even heard complaints from fellow peace church Mennonites about its overwhelming use of redemptive violence. After seeing the film through my Christian anti-civilization (anti-civ) anarchist vegan antiracist woman of color lenses, my sense is that Avatar is more complex than many of its detractors or advocates acknowledge. Set on the planet Pandora, Avatar is a sci-fi story of a mercenary-backed corporation’s attempt to confiscate and mine the land inhabited by humanoid aliens known as the Na’vi. Enter Jake Sully, the paraplegic U.S. marine protagonist who joins the science and anthropology wing of the operation as a substitute navigator for his deceased twin brother’s avatar. Early in the film, we discover that the avatar is an expensive high-tech clone that allows its user to temporarily experience and subsequently infiltrate the Na’vi community. After a series of unexpected events during his first avatar excursion, Jake finds himself living amongst the Na’vi clan known as...

...Industry Overview Our group evaluated the ice cream industry from a Porter’s Five Forces perspective to determine the attractiveness of the market.

Then, we assessed the strengths and weaknesses of the company’s strategy to offer recommendations for Amy’s Ice Creams going forward.

In addition, U.S. ice cream sellers sold 25.4 billion servings of ice cream and other frozen desserts. This represents a 2.4 percent increase from the previous year, a slight increase after two year of stagnant sales (New Hope 360). There are two channels for ice cream sales. The first channel is food service where customers visit an ice cream parlor and pay a premium for the product. The second channel is retail where customers purchase their favorite brand of ice cream from a retail chain like Wal-Mart.  Food services constitute a larger portion of the two channels accounting for 57 percent of overall ice cream sales (New Hope 360).   Products    The products in the ice cream industry include premium ice creams and novelties.  Premium ice creams include sorbet, sherbet, and fruity flavored ice products packaged by the pint or quart.
