Alii (also Aliʻi) is a word in some Polynesian languages denoting chiefly status[1] in ancient Hawaii and the Samoa Islands. A similar word with the same concept is found in other Polynesian societies. In the Cook Islands, an ariki is a high chief and the House of Ariki is a parliamentary house (with very limited power). In New Zealand a Māori ariki held a rank of nobility and the Maori monarch held the title Te Arikinui (Great Chief) similar to Ke Aliʻi Nui in Hawaiian. In Tokelau, the term aliki denotes a chief, on Easter Island a noble was ariki, in Gambier Islands akariki, and in Tahiti the term is ari'i.
In Samoa, ali'i is a chiefly rank in the fa'amatai system which lies at the heart of the culture's socio-political organisation[2] and similar to the traditional system in Hawaii.
Hawaiian aliʻi[edit]
In the Hawaiian language the word means: "Chief or chiefess, a ruler/monarch, headman, noble, aristocrat, king/queen or commander".[3] In ancient Hawaiian society, ali'i was a hereditary chiefly or noble rank (social class or caste).[4] The aliʻi class consisted of the high and lesser chiefs of the various realms in the islands. They governed with divine power called mana.[5] The aliʻi were the highest class, ranking above both kahuna (priests) and makaʻāinana (commoners). Most common translations are "Chief" and "High Chief." All the aliʻi Hawaiian dynasties of the several islands were interrelated, and apparently forbidden to intermarry with other classes.
Aliʻi were full of mana and could place and remove kapu (curse or taboo) on objects. Aliʻi continued to rule the Hawaiian islands until 1893 when Queen Liliʻuokalani was overthrown by coup and the Constitutional Monarchy, Government, and supporting Aliʻi were deposed from power.
Aliʻi Nui were ruling chiefs (in Hawaiian, nui means grand, great, or supreme.[6]) and must claim parentage at least of a mother of the highest rank.
- Aliʻi ʻnui were supreme high chiefs of an island and no other's were above them. The four largest Hawaiian islands (Hawaiʻi proper, Maui, Kauaʻi, and Oʻahu) were usually ruled each by their own aliʻi ʻnui. Molokaʻi also had a line of island kings, but was later subjected to the superior power of nearby Maui and Oʻahu during the 17th and 18th centuries. Mōʻī was a special title for the highest chief of the island of Maui. Later, the title was used for all kings of the Hawaiian Islands and the Hawaiian monarchs.
- Aliʻi ʻAimoku were subordinate district aliʻi, but controlled their petty fiefs. But these petty fiefs could sometimes encompass one-sixth of an island, since the islands were usually divided into six districts. These feudal lords were aliʻi nui of their district and were styled as "Aliʻi-o-Name of District".
Internecine warfare between heirs of rulers was common in ancient Hawaiʻi. Warfare between chiefs was also common.
Commoner or lesser Aliʻi served the higher-ranking Aliʻi, not for pay, but instead, due to their duty to allegiance to the nation.
The caste organization facilitated a feudal system that resembles other feudal societies, for example the feudal systems found in Europe circa 1000 AD, in feudal Japan, Ethiopia, and so on.
Higher aliʻi gave lesser aliʻi parcels of land, which those lesser aliʻi would in turn govern. The lesser aliʻi divided the land into plots to be farmed and cultivated by makaʻainana families. Harvests were returned to the lesser aliʻi, each taking a portion before being sent to the supreme aliʻi.
Both the reigning dynasties of the united Kingdom of Hawaiʻi (1810–1893) were of aliʻi class. As each relative of those dynasties was entitled to the title aliʻi, they have later, posthumously, been popularly labeled (mostly erroneously) princesses and princes, although only a limited number of royal relatives ever received the princely title from the monarch.

Archery Canada Suspends Canadian Para-Archer
Archery Canada Suspends Canadian Para-Archer
World Archery, the international governing body for archery, recently brought down its decision regarding the matter of Canadian para-archery athlete Mr. Norbert Murphy. The decision reads as follows: "That Mr. Norbert Murphy be prohibited from seeking a further classification until 23 June 2016, being a period of two years from the date upon which the athlete intentionally misrepresented skills and/or abilities".
Mr. Murphy broke the World Archery Rules in terms of classification at a world ranking para-archery tournament in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic in late June. The matter was dealt with by the chief classifier on site at the tournament. Under Article 11.0 of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Classification Code and World Archery Article 1.14.1 it was up to the World Archery Board of Justice and Ethics to evaluate the case and decide if Mr. Murphy had broken the rules and establish the sanction. Articles 11.1 and 11.3 of the IPC Classification Code state: "An Athlete who, in the opinion of the Classification Panel, is intentionally misrepresenting skills and/or abilities shall be considered in violation of the Classification Rules. If the Athlete intentionally misrepresents skills and/or abilities, the Athlete will not be allocated a Sport Class or Sport Class Status, and will not be permitted to compete at that Competition in that Sport." For the full details on article 11.0 of the IPC Classification Code, go to:
Mr. Murphy has been deemed to be ineligible for classification as a result of his intentional misrepresentation of his physical strength, joint and muscle movement, and balance during the classification process. By deliberately "faking" his level of physical impairment, he sought to have himself classified in a class with the more severely impaired athletes and thus gain a competitive advantage. There is strong indisputable evidence of this misrepresentation based on what the trained Classifiers observed and their video footage of Mr. Murphy taken while he as on and off the field of play following the classification testing.
Archery Canada does not condone any actions by its members that are contrary to the spirit of fair play. Archery Canada no longer recognizes Mr. Murphy as a member-in-good standing. Therefore, his registration (membership) with Archery Canada and correspondingly with Archery Quebec is suspended for a two-year period retroactive from June 23rd 2014 through to June 23rd 2016. As such, the following applies to Mr. Murphy for this two-year suspension:
- Ineligible for registration (membership) with Archery Canada and Archery Quebec.
- Ineligible to shoot in any tournaments registered with Archery Canada and World Archery.
- Ineligible for selection to the Archery Canada Para-Archery National Team or any Archery Canada 'able-bodied' National Team.
- Ineligible to receive Archery Canada, Sport Canada and Own the Podium financial support for the above noted two-year period. This includes the termination of AAP (carding) support from Sport Canada and funding support from Own the Podium for fiscal year 2014-2015.
The World Archery decision only applies forward from the date of the classification misrepresentation of June 23rd 2014. Therefore, it has no impact on results achieved by Mr. Murphy prior to this date. This includes the bronze medal won by Mr. Murphy at the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
Background Information on Classification
Classification is a structure for competition. Paralympic archers have an impairment in body structures and functions that leads to a competitive disadvantage in sport. Consequently, criteria are put in place to ensure that winning is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus, the same factors that account for success in sport for archers who are able-bodied. The process that is put in place to define who can compete and to group the archers is called Classification.
In archery muscle strength or/and range of joint movement or/and coordination are tested. The allocation of a Sport Class is a process done by Classifiers who determine the level of functional ability of each archer. Archers may be classified a number of times throughout their careers and changes in Sport Class may occur if an archer's condition improves or deteriorates.

Ottawa, August 27, 2014 – Eric Peters of Ottawa won bronze in international mixed team archery, an event unique to the 2014 Youth Olympic Games held in Nanjing, China. Peters teamed up with Finland's Mirjam Tuokkola to beat a pair from Guatemala and Belgium in the bronze medal match. Peters rebounded from his loss in the round of 16 of his individual event, the men's recurve bow.
"I was coming into the team event fairly disappointed with how I did as an individual. It was good fun, it was something really different, something great for this event," said Peters.
The 2014 Youth Olympics Games ran from August 16th – 28th. The archery competition finished August 26th.
"It has been an honour to represent my country and Archery Canada at the Youth Olympic Games," said Peters. "It was a tremendous experience."

Canadian Archer Stands on Podium at Pan American Olympic Festival
Toluca, Mexico, July 21, 2014 – Two-time Canadian Olympian and 2013 World Championship bronze medallist, Crispin DUENAS of Toronto captured the silver medal in the men's recurve bow (Olympic) individual event on Sunday at the 2014 Pan American Olympic Festival in Toluca, Mexico. A field of 35 of the top male recurve bow archers from the Americas region, competed in this first qualifier event for the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games. As the host of the 2015 Pan American Games, Canada has secured the maximum allowable three spots in the men's individual recurve bow event.
Duenas finished the qualification round in second place behind Brady Ellison of the USA with a season best score of 677 in the double 720 round which is shot in both the Olympic Games and the Pan American Games. In the single elimination match competition, Duenas had to win seven tied sets and two tied matches to advance to the gold medal match against the American Ellison. These clutch performances in the elimination match competition, served Duenas well in the gold medal match.
Despite gusty wind conditions that kept the scores low, Ellison jumped to a 4 - 0 lead after the first two sets of the gold medal match. Duenas fought back with a win in the third set and tied Ellison in the fourth set. In the 5th and final set Duenas' first arrow shot was caught by a gust of wind and scored an eight (of possible 10). Despite shooting well on his second and third arrows, Duenas couldn't close the gap on Ellison and finished in the silver medal position. Pedro Vivas of Mexico captured the bronze medal.
Ellison is the 2011 World bronze medallist and the 2011 Pan American Games champion. Duenas was second to Ellison at the 2011 Pan American Games. Duenas and Ellison will go head-to-head again at the Pan American Games next summer in Toronto.
Joan McDonald, the 2012 Olympic Head Coach, reflected on the Pan American Olympic Festival stating that: "This was a strong showing for our archers against top athletes from the Americas. This bodes well for the 2015 Toronto Pan-American Games."

The post Pumpkin Walnut Muffins for World Vegan Day appeared first on abracapocus.]]>
To celebrate, I'm going to share another recipe from Dough, vegan Pumpkin Walnut Muffins. This was one of our most popular muffins at the bakery and while we made it year round, it's particularly suited to this season. And bonus, these muffins don't require any weird ingredients. It's all stuff you can get at any grocery store.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or half all-purpose & half whole wheat pastry flour)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup canned pumpkin (just pumpkin, not pie filling)
1/2 cup non-dairy milk
1/2 cup oil
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 cup chopped walnuts plus one walnut half for top of each muffin
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tin with 12 liners.
2. Whisk together the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a mixing bowl. In a another bowl, whisk together pumpkin, milk, oil, and molasses. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just mixed. Stir in chopped walnuts.
3. Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 with batter or if you have one with #12 scoop. Put a walnut half on the top of each muffin. Bake for 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

The post Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte appeared first on abracapocus.]]>
Soon enough, it was spotted in Atlanta and Kevin picked me up a jug because he's cool like that. So I broke into it pretty quickly. It's pumpkiny, spicy and not too sweet unlike most of the other holiday drinks out there. But where's the coffee? I can't taste it at all. I had a glass before dinner a few times and never felt the caffeine either.
Not enough coffee, hmm? The next thing I tried to do was pour it into my coffee like a creamer. That wasn't good. I've used their regular almond milks as creamer just fine, but this wasn't fatty or creamy enough.
So I finished off the rest just as a drink, usually before bed as an after dinner snack. Sadly, I didn't like it enough to get any more. Oh well, next new vegan product, please!
P.S. Why yes, that is a Jeannette Zeis vegan mug that I've had forever. I think it was a second but around here it's my first.

The post Quick, versatile tofu recipe appeared first on abracapocus.]]>
This is my goto seasoned tofu recipe. It's generic enough that it can go in almost any cuisine. But flavorful enough that you'll find yourself popping cubes in your mouth before the rest of the meal is done.
1 lb. firm or extra firm tofu, pressed
2 tablespoons Tamari, Bragg's or Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2-1 teaspoon chili garlic paste
oil for frying or baking pan prep
First cube your pressed tofu.
Put it in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients except the oil for the pan. Stir it around until it is coated.
There are three different ways I finish it off, depending on my needs. You can fry it up in a pan until browned. You can bake it in the oven at 375F on a sheet sprayed with oil for about 20 minutes, flipping them at about 10 minutes in. Or, instead of cubing the tofu you can cut it in sticks or slabs and put it in a George Foreman grill, use a grill pan or even grill it outside. My first preference is to bake it. And my second choice is to pan fry, especially when my oven is broken like it was for a while.
We eat this tofu on salads, in burritos, and dropped into any other dish that feels like it wants some tofu in it. Since there's no marinating required, it comes together quickly. The hardest part is remembering to press the tofu. We have a Tofu Xpress so I usually just keep a block of tofu in it in the fridge so it's ready to go. It seems expensive for what it is, but sometimes it is worth it to pay for convenience.

The post Giveaway: free Tofutti products! appeared first on abracapocus.]]>
For many of us, Tofutti was one of our first experiences with vegan cheese and ice cream products. Cream cheese, sour cream, cheese slices – their products helped many of us transition to being vegan.
Tofutti cream cheese was also an essential ingredient in many items at the bakery. Banana whoopie pies, the glaze on the cinnamon rolls, our pimento cheese, red velvet cake…so many things! When our distributor decided to stop carrying the 30 lb. food service block of Tofutti, we were frantic trying to figure out how to avoid buying the retail packs. I wrote Tofutti and they very kindly sent a bunch of coupons and other goodies to us to help us out.
Since they were so generous, I want to in turn share these with you. Just leave a comment below, make sure whatever method you use to comment includes an email address where I can contact you, and I'll randomly pick three winners that will each receive two Tofutti product coupons. The coupons are for up to $3.99 off, which means most items will be free. Oh, and there's NO EXPIRATION DATE. Deadline for entry is Friday, October 3rd at noon Eastern time. Sorry, U.S. residents only!
So enter below and start dreaming about some of these goodies:
Disclaimer: Yes, they gave me the free product coupons but they have no idea I'm doing this giveaway. I just enjoy their products and appreciate their company.

The post Final roundup of vegan food in Playa Del Carmen appeared first on abracapocus.]]>
First, you need coffee. Well, I need coffee. Yeah, there's a Starbucks. Yay. But there's also a local chain called Ah Cacao Chocolate Café. They've got soy milk and a couple of things marked vegan right on the menu.
We were there in June, so it was HOT and the Espresso Frappé was the perfect foil for the heat. It's three shots of espresso, sugar and ice blended on up. It's not overly sweetened like a Starbucks drink and it's so good you'll want to just drink them all day. But don't unless you want to start vibrating on your own.
The other vegan drink on the menu was sipping chocolate. It's a little shot of melted chocolate. It's perfect after a meal when you want a little something sweet. We definitely had a few of these during the trip.
When we moved place into our little hotel in town, we gained a little kitchenette, or at least a mini fridge, a sink, a hot plate and a blender. We weren't really going to cook, but saved a little money by having breakfast in the room most days. So we headed out to the health food store DAQ to pick up cereal, milk and bananas.
There's a little cafe in the corner of the store called La Ceiba de la 30 that had veggie options so we had lunch there. I had a couple of burritos. It wasn't a memorable meal, but it also wasn't memorable for being bad. There are many tastier options, but will do if it's convenient.
We ate at Bio-Natural a couple of times. They have plenty of vegan options on the menu. And there's a tiny health food store next to it about the size of a single car garage. The first thing I tried was the falafel pita for lunch one day:
And then another time I had this quinoa salad with their house cashew cheese. By the way, most of these places make fresh juices so we usually got in on some of that.
Another place we went a couple of times was La Senda Restaurante. This one is 100% vegan so you can eat all the things. The first time we went, I had some enchiladas and Kevin had the tofu tacos. I think the white stuff is their cashew cheese.
Our next visit, I tried the mango jicama ceviche which was outstanding. It's also pretty easy to recreate at home. I need to do that again soon. And then I got a burger of some kind, chickpea maybe. I remember it being falafel like. It was okay, but it was crazy filling. The side salads that came with the dishes were always outstanding.
The last morning we decided to have breakfast here because we heard about this thing. Yes, that's strawberries and bananas wrapped up in an oat pancake and drizzled with chocolate.
So good! While we were there this pulled up with a delivery. Cargo bike is how a lot of deliveries are made in Playa Del Carmen and I think that's pretty awesome.
And the last restaurant I have to tell you about in Playa Del Carmen is Babe's Noodles & Bar. They have a number of noodle, rice and salad dishes that can be made vegan. I had the Vietnamese salad. I liked it and might've gone back, but it's not my first choice of food when in Mexico.
Whew! That's about it. Hopefully this will help fellow travelers find vegan food in Playa Del Carmen.

The post Vegan Venezuelan food in Playa Del Carmen appeared first on abracapocus.]]>
Once you get outside of a resort, the vegan options in Playa Del Carmen improve immensely. I'll round up the rest of the options in a future post, but this one restaurant deserves a post to itself.
Kaxapa Factory is a short walk from the center of town. It is a small space with an outdoor patio owned by a Venezuelan family that makes fresh, authentic Venezuelan food, including vegan Venezuelan food. Lots of vegan options. It was so good that we went pretty much every day.
Naicel and her father are usually handling the front of the house. Both are a joy, but if you are vegan, Naicel will probably help you because her English is better. They are also not afraid to stray from the menu and make substitutions, so you can totally build your own meal. Now, let's get on to the food porn.
The first thing I tried was a Patacon. It's like a sandwich with fried green plantain discs as bread. I think this one was filled with tofu, avocado and black beans. Yeah.
And these were some tostones with tofu. This was just my taste. It was a bigger appetizer that was shared.
And here's a look back at Kaxapa Factory. That's Naicel in the doorway and her father in the back with the cap. Her mom does the cooking.
Next visit, Kevin and I both had the soursop drink. Our first visit, Naicel's dad gave us samples of all their house made drinks.
And this time, I got their namesake, a Kaxapa. It's a pancake made by pounding a special corn into a batter. Mine was full of stir fried vegetables and tofu.
Oh hey, look, we're back again, chowing on fried.
And this time, the Venezuelan lemonade to drink.
And finally, time to have an arepa! This one is filled with black beans, avocado, tofu and sweet plantains.
And, we're back again. This time I'm getting up on another Kaxapa.
Naicel felt really bad that they didn't have any vegan desserts. So she set about making one for us at home. On our previous visit, we saw her randomly head out to the street and hop in a cab. She came back about 15 minutes later. She said she had a vegan dessert for us at home but forgot to bring it. She took a cab home to get it and then didn't have her key with her. OMG! Seriously, this is how nice these people are.
So this night, she had the chocolate mousse she had made. It was a lovely sweet touch to the end of the meal. But she wasn't done with dessert experiments.
Oh yeah, back again! Can you blame us? This time I had the hibiscus drink.
And this is the appetizer we got when Kevin said "surprise us", mini Kaxapa with toppings. I didn't take a pic of my main this time, so it must have been a repeat.
When brainstorming vegan dessert ideas with Naicel, we decided she should try filling their empanadas with fruit. Both are things they already had on hand. So this last meal at Kaxapa, we had mango (I think) filled empanadas that were absolutely perfect.

Before I talk about food, here are a few photos from around the resort.
Our room:
Kevin playing beach volleyball
A couple of bird friends at the beach
These little guys, agouti, were everywhere. We called the scrabbits because they were like half squirrel and half rabbit.
Now, on to food at the resort. I emailed ahead and was assured there would be plenty of vegan options for us. The reality when we got there was a little different though.
It was lunch time when we arrived. So we settled in then headed to one of the cafés. There was an arugula quinoa salad on the menu that came with hummus and pita. Well that sounded reasonable! Except it was very, very small. A side, not a meal. So we ended up eating a bunch of fries and chips & guacamole until we were full.
Dinner was with the company and all arranged ahead of time. It was a buffet for everyone else, and then we were brought separate plates. On the buffet, there were a few appetizers we could get into:
No such thing as too much guac, I suppose. That jicama salad was a nice surprise. And this was our dinner: a bunch of veggies and a portobello mushroom cap. I'm glad there were appetizers.
The next company dinner, they took us over to the buffet to show us our dish, all covered in cheese. Yay. So they put something together in the kitchen that was basically the same as what you see above presented slightly differently.
Some beans would've been cool, but it just wasn't meant to be I suppose. The staff also seemed pretty confused about the whole vegan thing, despite the assurances I had via email. They clearly had it confused with gluten free. *sigh*
Now breakfast, breakfast was pretty awesome. The hot foods were pretty much off limits, but they had vegan cereals, soy milk, fruits and a make your own smoothie bar. Grab a bowl, throw a bunch of stuff in it, including peanut butter, and the dude will mix it up for you. Or they had a smoothie of the day. Right on.
I'll admit, it was pretty awesome to chill under a cabana while a regular supply of cold adult beverages were brought right to me. But it was in no way worth what it costs to stay in a place like this.
Don't worry, there's plenty of delicious vegan food in Playa Del Carmen. It just wasn't at this resort. But we were only here four days. So look for future posts full of tasty bits that we ate when we finally got out of the resort.

The post How to make brown sugar appeared first on abracapocus.]]>
This happened to me yesterday as I read Bianca's post about vegan sugars. It's true, it can be hard to find vegan brown sugar and powdered sugar in certain places. And sometimes even when you find it, it's really expensive.
A while back, our supplier for the bakery was out of vegan brown sugar. For a few weeks. Our supply was completely cached and we had to figure something out. Buying retail bags would be way too expensive. Since brown sugar is just sugar and molasses, you can just add sugar to molasses! Der. I just googled how to make brown sugar to get the ingredient ratio. After this, we just kept making it instead of buying it. It's cheaper and easy to do.
At home this is especially handy when you don't bake often and would rather not have an extra bag of stuff you rarely use taking up space in your cabinet. So here's how to make brown sugar:
1 cup vegan sugar
1 tablespoon molasses for light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons for dark brown sugar
Mix together with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Use immediately or store in an air tight container.

First, the Kimchi at So Kong Dong Tofu House isn't vegan. So don't eat that. But, there are a few vegan options on the menu. Get the Vegetable Tofu Dumpling Soup. If you ask for spicy, you will get spicy. They don't mess around. You can get vegan Bibimbap. And this is the Bibim Gook Soo, a cold noodle dish that is amazing. Also, DONG.
At Lee's Bakery, you can get vegan banh mi (ask them to leave off the mayo), tofu spring rolls and pho. Can't decide? They have a half sandwich/pho combo so you don't have to. Also, it's super cheap!
Chai Pani serves Indian food snacks in Decatur. This is either the Bhel Puri or Green Mango Chaat. I've had and enjoyed both and both are filled with crunchy things so it's hard to tell.
This, this is a samosa. It's fairly large and filling. The best thing to do here is go with some people, get a few things and then everybody eat all the things. Must haves: the Kale Pakoras and the Matchstick Okra Fries. If you don't like okra because of the slime, try these. Slime free!
Fuego Mundo is a South American wood-fire grill in Sandy Springs. It's kosher and they have vegan and gluten free options. Seriously, if you have a diverse group, this is a great place. I typically go with the tofu steak, grilled and seasoned. They have a bunch of vegan side options. Sometimes I'm good and I do quinoa. And then sometimes what you see below happens. Hey, at least I got a salad.
Ammazza makes a vegan pizza with a house made cashew cheese sauce. We've actually only been once to have it and found it meh. But since everyone else raves about it, I figure we could be the problem here. I'm willing to give it another shot some time.
El Myriachi is kind of like El Myr except it's filled with families instead of smoke. If you aren't into screeching children, avoid during peak hours.
The food is similar to El Myr but not the same. They have a taco salad in a fried tortilla bowl, so that's pretty awesome. The first time we went, the guacamole was diluted with stuff. It was just wrong. El Myr has the best guacamole ever, avocado lightly seasoned. That's all you need. But El Myriachi's guac has moved towards El Myr's style in subsequent visits so I think it's all good now.
My standard at El Myr is the tofu taco. It's pretty much the same here except they don't do the BBQ tofu.
Kevin got a chimichanga because of the frying. It came with proper unadulterated guacamole on the side. Looked pretty good.
I've actually been going to Queen of Sheba since 1998, my very first night in Georgia. The food has been consistently delicious all these years. The veggie combo is where it's at. Tofu tibs are great. And a few years ago they added a larger veggie combo with even more delicious things on it for when you have the monster munchies. This is the bigger veggie combo plus an order of tofu tibs. The far plate is the regular veggie combo.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. There are many more options, but these happen to be the pics I had on hand. Do you have any favorite vegan eats at unexpected places?

If I have an integer vector
vector<int> vec;
and I loop in the following way
for(int i=0; i<vec.size(); i++)
// do something
I get the signed/unsigned mismatch warning.
Of course I can declare
i of type
size_t to solve the problem.
But if I keep
i as
int could I get some problem at runtime?

The religious arts of Tibet and Nepal are represented in Gallery 252 and Gallery 253 by important early cloth paintings (tangkas), including rare portrait paintings, and by Vajrayana Buddhist sculptures. The early Nepalese metal, stone, and wood sculptures form a major ensemble, as do the Buddhist and Hindu painted book covers. Ritual utensils such as crowns, weapons, and libation implements form another important aspect of the displays. The tangkas and manuscript objects are rotated periodically.

Product Information
- The Grouchy Ladybug published by HarperCollins
- Written by: Eric Carle
- Illustrated by: Eric Carle
- We recommend this book for kids ages 4 and up
What It Is
Since its release in 1976, Eric Carle's The Grouchy Ladybug has delighted very young readers and listeners. Carle's signature collage illustrations and humorous text tell the story of a tiny anti-hero. The Grouchy Ladybug doesn't say "please" or "thank you", it doesn't like to share, and it goes through the book trying to pick fights with everything it meets (including a whale's fin). In the end, the ladybug meets its match and becomes a nicer and better-behaved bug. This fast-moving story with die-cut pages invites children to explore the concepts of time, size, shape, and manners.
Is It Fun?
If you're a fan of Eric Carle, then you'll love looking through this book at his signature tissue paper collage illustrations. Parents can use this book to talk to their kids about manners and social behavior. With its different-sized die-cut pages, kids are also introduced to the concept of size. We like that there is a clock face at the top of each page to introduce young children to reading an analog clock and telling time (something not even some adults can do in these digital days).
Who It's For
The Grouchy Ladybug is for ages 4–8.
What To Be Aware Of
The story itself seems to divide Eric Carle fans. Some love the book, while others feel the book's message is too negative and only teaches children to repeat the book's repetitive phrase "Hey you! Want to fight?" It's up to parents to determine if The Grouchy Ladybug is appropriate for the family library. If it's not, there are plenty of other Eric Carle books to choose.
The Grouchy Ladybug is available in both hardcover and paperback.

Great spuds
Made mash out of these and it was fantastic, no lumps either, they were a good size too

usually small, usually good
These are not usually big enough for baking, sometimes we get one or two big enough but not always. If we want baking potatoes we look for those labelled as such. These are great for roasted in their skins, fluffy inside & crispy outside. Ok for mashed. Don't seem to last long before they start sprouting though. I do remember when I was a child my parents buying huge sacks of spuds & wondering if they really lasted longer or whether we just did a lot of chopping off bad bits.

If I rode the course today at an FTP of 207 and @65% FTP = avg watts 135 = 5hr 37min.
These numbers do not take into account wind or road conditions but are nice to use when trying to estimate performance.
By training with power I have clear and concise metrics with clear and concise goals. An FTP of 221 is very attainable for me, even at a lesser weight then last year. It is something that I am very excited to go after because by training with power it is measurable and as I move through my training my fitness level will be a known entity as opposed to something I am guessing at.
Do you train with power? After reading this are you going on a crash diet?
Thanks for Reading,
