My Biggest Announcement of the Year So Far…
Recently I posted the final ever issue of Go Raw! If you missed that announcement and would like to see it, you can read it here. Now, while that was a really big announcement, I also shared that there was something else REALLY big right around the corner, and here it is… Long story short, the super-famous raw chef himself – Russell James – and I, have got together to create something really special. And the big announcement is happening LIVE this coming Friday at the end of a value packed FREE training call that we're running entitled: "How to Get Started as a Raw Food Teacher and Turn Your Raw Food Knowledge into a Super Successful Part or Full-Time … Continue reading
Would you like to earn extra income helping us to help others?
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! For my part, I'm in the middle of house hunting so I've been out and about this weekend, however… I'm also in the process of making some massive changes here at Karen Knowler International, and because we have some really big things about to happen literally in the next few days, I couldn't wait a day longer to post this! It's been a long time (years in fact!) since I let my readers know about a fabulous win-win-win opportunity for those who are interested in spreading the word about what we offer. Quite simply, if you love any of the things we do here at Karen Knowler International (this includes anything coming from … Continue reading
Mmmm, papayas! Pick an unripe one and they're as bland as cardboard; pick a big, fat, juicy ripe one and then you can understand what all the fuss is about!
And although papayas make a delicious breakfast or snack, they can also make a truly delicious dessert (if the food combining police don't catch you first!). Here follows one of my most simple but delightful recipes that is just about as "no brainer" as you can get! Enjoy! Continue reading
The BIG ANNOUNCEMENT I Made Yesterday to My eZine Readers
Hi dear reader, In case you didn't receive my weekly eZine yesterday or are not subscribed, here is the big news exactly as I shared it with my readers yesterday… {Big deep breath} As those of you who have been with me since the very first issue will know, this eZine has been published weekly since late 2006 when it just was sent to just over 200 people worldwide, and was published in my own highly imperfect home-made format, when raw food eZines were as rare as palm trees growing in England! Today I am so honoured that 8.5 years later, well over 30,000 people receive this publication each and every week – a number that still blows my mind, … Continue reading
Raw Food and Weight Loss
Many people are attracted to raw foods as a tool for weight loss; in fact that was one of my own most compelling personal motivations back in 1993. After all, to eat a diet that was mostly fresh fruits and vegetables can only mean a lean, mean fighting machine surely? Well, yes and no. This week's article is an insight into how raw foods can help you lose weight, but also how you, no matter what you eat (yes, even raw), can also keep weight on.
My own raw food/weight loss story is probably the best way I can illustrate what's possible (and isn't) with raw foods. I'm sure if you are struggling with weight loss, or have struggled in the past something about my story will help or resonate with you and hopefully give you more insights into your own weight loss journey.
As mentioned, in 1993 I found out about raw foods and seeing as I still had some weight to lose, the promise of creating or "unveiling" my perfect body was of course way too alluring not to give it a shot. Continue reading
Halva has always been a healthier sweet choice but commercially tends to be made with non-raw ingredients. This recipe gives you the best of both worlds: Delicious and 100% raw. Continue reading
Getting Creative in the Kitchen
There are so many raw food recipe books and websites around these days, there's certainly no shortage of inspiration for those relatively new to raw foods. This is exciting and inspiring of course, but it can also be daunting to say the least. The good news is that it doesn't have to be. Here are some guidelines that will help you get creative in the kitchen and get the most out of your foods as you become more confident with your new eating habits.
Explore the five main raw food preparation methods in detail. Learn all you can about juicing, blending, milling, dehydrating and sprouting because these are the methods that you will be mastering in future that will revolutionise the way you eat, and consequently your health, for a very long time to come!
Add to your to-do list the exploration of and experimentation with marinating and fermenting too. The benefits of fermenting are far too wide and varied to go into here, and it's surprisingly easy and fun to produce delicious sauerkraut, kimchee, kefir, kombucha and other fermented foods that could become staples in your diet in the future. Spend some time looking into what's possible in this area. Continue reading
This recipe is a great one, as it can really fulfil the need for something a little more interesting than salad and not as dense as something dehydrated. All you need to make it is a spiral slicer to create veggie spaghetti, or for thicker pasta you could use a potato peeler. Continue reading
"Where Do You Get Your Protein?"
By far, and you probably know this as well as I do, one of the most common questions you will be asked when you dabble with raw foods is: "Sounds great, but… where do you get your protein?" Well, I have known for years that to become protein deficient on ANY diet can take some doing (although it isn't impossible), but on a raw diet there are some interesting surprises when it comes to discovering what has a little and what has a lot. Read on for the facts and figures that will either help you to feel at peace with your raw diet or help you make some positive changes… Continue reading

Honda takes on Harley
THE term "stripped out" isn't one that you'd imagine sitting happily with the conventional idea of a Honda Goldwing, but that's exactly how the firm refers to its new Goldwing F6B.
Aimed at the US market, and unlikely to be sold in the UK, the F6B is designed to fit into a growing market for baggers – bikes based on all-out tourers, but with their screens cut down and no top-boxes, just leaving the panniers. So that's what Honda has done to the Goldwing. To be fair, the side panels are also slightly different to the stock 'Wing versions, and there's less standard kit – riders will have to pay extra to get heated grips, for instance, or a centre stand.
In total, 28kg of kit has been stripped from the bike, leaving the F6B at a merely elephantine 385kg.

About Cooperativa San Jose
This loan is administered by
Cooperativa San Jose
, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by
providing a less onerous and more appropriate option

My daughter won't turn 1 for another 6 months but I feel like I am setting myself up for disaster! I am caucasian and my husband is Korean. A lot of his family lives a few hours away but they offered very little support during my pregnancy and throughout the first 6 months. I want her to have a traditional first birthday but I need help figuring out all of the traditions. All of his family will be invited to the party and I really want to "Wow" them with what I have put together. His family is very successful in the food industry and have very high expectations of the women in the family.
Relationships with his family are strained because of the way we were treated during my pregnancy so I would rather do this without their help.
My husband and I are on a relatively tight budget since I am still in nursing school, which is another reason I want to start planning! I will be soo busy when her Dol is closer.

Biggest Loser Syndrome or It wasn't good enough

Saturday, January 12, 2013
Most of us have seen some weight loss program or another or have been bombarded by all those commercials coming out now about how you can "Lose up to 20 pounds a week!" We watch the contestants on the shows exercise until they throw up, eat very little or don't actually see the food part of the program, then comes weigh in day where they lose 10 pounds and it 'still isn't enough'.
So you think you need to get into a workout routine that you run 'till you drop, while eating the minimal calories for the day, then you only drop a pound.
You think, it was only a pound, why should I kill myself over this? It should have been more, I feel like a failure.
Tv has warped our sense of reality. It's rare that one can consistently lose 10 pounds a week, even the morbidly obese that tend to be on these shows. They have nothing to do all day but work out.
Let's come back to reality. We have lives, we don't have the time to workout 8+ hours a day. If we were to workout that much in a day, we would certainly have to eat more than 1200 calories in a day or our bodies would shut down.
We know that one pound a week is not only feasible, it is one of the better ways to be losing the weight. You may think you did everything right to lose more than a pound in that week, but to think you 'only' lost a pound should not come as a failure. Every pound lost should be celebrated and a success when you're trying to lose excess weight. Never think "it was only a pound".
The next thing is the working out. Seeing the shows, they make it look like you need to work out so hard that you pass out/puke/break something. In reality, you just need to move. You need to move more than you did when you started. Doing arm/leg lifts is better than sitting there completely still. Taking a walk is perfectly acceptable, no matter how fast you're going. It is helpful to push yourself, but don't feel the need to injure yourself. Find something enjoyable and you'll stick to it for life.
Eating should be something enjoyable too. Yes, you need to eat less than you were when you hit your heaviest, you may even have to avoid certain things the majority of the time, but don't think the less is more thought. Your body still needs calories to exist. If you don't eat enough, your body will eat away at more than just the fat reserves. You'll start to become tired all the time and it will become harder to think.
The more you workout, the more energy your body will need. If you're working out that 8+ hours a day, you can get away with 2500 or more calories a day and still lose a lot of weight. I find having a device that accurately measures your full day movement is the most accurate, but if you're tracking your movement here, you can still estimate the amount of calories you need. Your fitness tracker will let you know in red type that you need to eat more for the amount of fitness you're doing. It works better when you stay in the ranges given. You'll be amazed at a better weight loss when you give your body the nutrition and calories it needs in a day. So if you're 'only' losing a pound, you may not be feeding it enough. There are so many factors in losing weight.
When all is said and done, we need to celebrate moving toward a healthy weight, one pound at a time. Even a half pound in a week is a step in the right direction. Some weeks you may not lose anything while you're gaining muscle. Celebrate the fact that you are healthier and better able to move every week than you were at your heaviest. You are getting better every day that you try. You are incredible!

What a well thought-out, positive, and sane post! I definitely look at TBL as what it is, reality TV. Some of it is staged, some is unrealistic, and all of it is put together to generate ratings. Still, I love it, and do find inspiration in it. :)

Thanks for the reminder I was just about to write a blog on my own personal BLS.

I'd love to be able to watch that "supersized vs superskinny" but dang it, I don't seem to be able to watch it online. Where did you see that? It looks interesting.

I actually really, really dislike The Biggest Loser. So many people love it, but it's so warped. :(
Report Inappropriate Comment
You know, after reading this blog and the comments, I am taking BLC off my DVR recording list. I have been thinking these same thoughts myself. The results on the show warp our real-life expectations. Like KAREN608, I think the show "Supersized and superskinny" does a much better job of representing most folks weight loss by focusing on healthy eating.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I used to be a BL fan because it was inspirational to see people loose the weight. But now it is so dramatic. They try and get the biggest people ever, to try and loose the largest amounts ever... and so on. What about people like me. I want to loose 50 pounds. The reality (my reality) is that is a lot, but I would not even come CLOSE to be a contestant on that show. Glad I do not have the same view on this. Thank you for verbalizing our thoughts!!!
Report Inappropriate Comment
I have watched a British show, supersized & super skinny, which pairs opposites to eat the others diet for a week, then they are sent home to eat properly and it is more sensible than biggest loser which is all show and no reality. I am with you a little each week is easier to maintain in the long run.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I've on seen the BLC once and was shocked at how much they were losing in a week. I'm a lucky person if I lose 1 lb a week. We are all different, truly, I have really come to be proud of the fact that the weigh has come off slowly and that I am keeping it off. This is a fabulous reminder of what we are learning here!

Amen to this. I saw the beginning of the current season of BL and seeing those men and women run until they puke is just not something I'm interested in, either in TV or real-life, LOL. Thanks for stating it in your blog so eloquently!
Report Inappropriate Comment
I agree with you "TV has warped our sense of reality". Shows like the BL can get someone motivated to start, but their approach is unrealistic and sets a terrible example in the end. IMHO. But would anyone watch a show where people went about their weight loss and fitness in a healthy, slow, methodical 1#/ week? lol Wouldn't that be great though, to actually follow a group of people doing it the healthy, realistic way! Oh wait...we are doing that right here on SP!

I agree about those shows. Oprah had some of the biggest losers on after a time off the show and alot of them gain around 1/2 their weight back because they couldn't keep up the exercise regimine they had on the show. Slow but sure keeps it off longer.

dont watch it. well once or 2x/ but do not like being yelled at.
that is so grammar school. high school even.
i joined the challenge at the Y. so plan on that at least 2x a week.

I agree & I love the show but the truth is..it is a t.v. show 1st. I watch & exercise while it's on. Some people I guess need to be screamed at in order to be motivated. Lol, This year I think will be the best smart idea having children on it.

Thanks so much for writing this blog. It is so true!
I do watch the Biggest Loser -- but it is extreme and not realistic. Most of us Sparkers have FAR more success with slow steady losses that can be sustained and kept up. And if you look at last week -- the young man who had lost 29 pounds the first weigh in was ousted because he didn't lose weight at the second weigh in.

WOnderfully written, and a great reminder to so many of us on here (definitely myself included).
Report Inappropriate Comment
I have to admit to being a Biggest looser fan and it was that show that motivated me to start this journey.
What a come down when I only lost 2lbs in the first week. It was only then that I started to read into the show that no normal person works out for 8 hours a day and lives on 1200 cals.
It is a steady reduction of weight loss not 5 to 10 lbs a week.
You have hit the nail on the head but it is still a good show to watch

Career fair brings employers, job-seekers togetherPublished 11:26am Thursday, March 28, 2013
Employment could see an extra push in the area April 10 when the Lake Martin Area Career Fair comes to Central Alabama Community College.
"It is an annual thing that we sponsor here at CACC," said event coordinator Denise Walls. "It's open to the public … We suggest that you come as if you're going to be going to a job interview."
Walls said about 25 companies will be on hand to talk to prospective employees about available career opportunities. In addition, instructors from CACC will be available to talk to people about continuing their
education; and representatives from the career center will be present; and Marvin Wagoner will be available to talk about entrepreneurial efforts.
"We'll also have some computers set up so if anyone needs to go online and submit an application they can do that," Walls said.
Companies at the fair will be offering both full-time and part-time jobs, Walls said. Companies like Madix, SL Alabama and SJA will provide information on manufacturing jobs.
"It's an opportunity for companies to hand pick (employees)," Walls said. "It presents an opportunity for companies to see that person in front of them and talk to them and get a better sense of whether it's somebody they want to hire or not."
Walls said the fair also allows people looking for jobs to submit many resumes all in one place instead of having to go all over town filling out applications.
Walls said dressing the part is essential for job-seekers.
"You don't have to wear a suit or a tie," Walls said. "Just wear nice khakis or dress pants and a nice shirt – be well groomed. You just want to make a good first impression."
Those applying for manufacturing jobs could choose to wear jeans and a nice shirt, Walls said.
Companies participating will include:

I was looking for a painting with teal - discovered Megan Duncanson. OMG she is now my favorite artist. I just bought another of her pieces and plan on getting more.
ART.com had the best prices (and they are on EBATES) - but not the largest selection. The delivery was super and they prints were packaged perfectly.

I bought this giclee print as a companion to another one I previously bought by the same artist and having the same theme. However, the first print I bought had more sizes to choose from. This picture did not have many sizes to choose from so I had to enlarge the matting to make the frames equal sizes. Enlarging the matting really takes away from the overall look of the picture.

Finally--A New York Spirits Auction
Posted: Dec 10, 2007 10:01am ET
This past Saturday marked the first time that spirits were auctioned in New York City since before Prohibition started in 1920. Christie's, the London auction house that also has a presence here, and the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, a national trade association, are to be thanked for lifting the statewide ban that stood even while prohibition had ended in 1933.
Smoking Down Mexico Way
Posted: Nov 15, 2007 5:05pm ET
The ship (Oosterdam) had a selection of nice cigars—including Fuentes—and a comfortable smoking lounge, but no Cubans as the tour originated in the U.S. (San Diego). So if I were to score I had to do it on land.

It's pretty well done. Very good art direction (feels like the era) and a pretty punchy plot (if a little soap opera-ish). Producers take pains to emphasize how different the era was: no political correctness, indifference to safety issues, a gulf between men and women in the work place, lots of style and everyone smokes and drinks—all the time.
The Cigar and Cognac Conundrum
Posted: Jul 31, 2007 3:43pm ET
The other night I was invited to a dinner hosted by Remy Martin. The point was to show off its 1738 Accord Royal, technically a VSOP, but the company characterizes it as being a notch above that premium level, even while its not old enough to be termed XO. Standard Remy VSOP sells for $36.99, the 1738 version for $49.99. Like all Remy products, it's a blend of eaux-de-vie that comes strictly from the Champagne crus of Cognac (so called for their especially chalky soil and not to be confused with Champagne region and its sparkling wines). In this case, the Cognac is 65 percent Grand Champagne and 35 percent Petite Champagne. The name, 1738 Accord Royal, stems from an eighteenth century degree from Louis XV that allowed Remy to extend its grape production in an era when new plantings were prohibited.
A Smoke After A Smoky Meal
Posted: Jul 20, 2007 2:53pm ET
Savona and I had just left dinner very pleased, having been the guests of Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue (ward.uat.dminsite.com/) of Kansas City, Missouri, which was hosting at the James Beard House in lower Manhattan. It's always a great place to eat (former home of the iconic American chef, home to the foundation of the same name), but this meal was particularly satisfying. My penchant for barbecue is well enough known that I don't have to go over that. But think of this: Hors d'Oeuvres included Hickory-Smoked Salmon with Toast Points and Rémoulade, Berkshire Pork Medallions with Spicy Barbecue Sauce and Mini Hickory-Smoked Kobe Prime Rib Sandwiches with Horseradish Sauce. Kobe beef BBQ? Oh my God!

The U.S. Senate now has a companion Glass-Steagall bill! Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IO) introduced S. 985 on May 16th. Call your senators today, contact LaRouchePAC for further marching orders. Distribute and email the press release.
The first question from Lyndon LaRouche's webcast of May 10th, 2013, on the continued organizing for Glass-Steagall.
Former Massachusetts Congressional candidate, Rachel Brown and LaRouchePAC organizer, Jennifer Kreingold are joined by activist Arleen Martino reporting from Boston, MA on the activity at the Boston Statehouse to reinstate Glass-Steagall.
Lyndon LaRouche's Keynote address from his webcast of May 10th, 2013.
This video captures Policy Committee member Michael Steger in Sacramento, California addressing one of the several press conferences LaRouchePAC is holding simultaneously this week in state capitols across the nation.
LaRouchePAC organizer, Tim Luke of South Dakota, delivers an on the ground report from Nebraska on the progress of a Glass-Steagall resolution in the Lincoln State House. He is joined by a team of activists including Jeannie Hanson (SD); rancher and organizer, Ron Wieczorek (SD); former state senator and NASA engineer, Ron Eret (NE); and symphony conductor and musician, Tom Widlar (NE).
At the beginning of this year there were a total of three Glass-Steagall bills introduced into the Congress, one into the Senate and two into the House. Barney Frank was key to the destruction of the two House bills as he has the power to allow them to come to the floor, or not, from his seat on the financial services committee. Barney is, frankly, a virtual traitor to the American people and will soon enjoy his retirement.

A Limited Release Collaboration Beer: Time Hop Porter
We are excited to announce the release of Samuel Adams Time Hop Porter™, a limited-edition hopped porter brewed in collaboration with San Diego based brewery, ChuckAlek Independent Brewers!
Husband and wife team at ChuckAlek, Grant Fraley and Marta Jankowski, are committed to their mission of making "Old School Beers for New School Palates." ChuckAlek's brewery is based just outside of San Diego and they recently announced their official plans to open a second location in San Diego to be called, ChuckAlek Biergarten!
It has truly been an awesome year for Grant and Marta as they were also selected as the recipients of the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream Brewing and Business Experienceship. As part of the program, the ChuckAlek team came to our Boston Brewery in May to receive coaching from the our Brewery team and collaborate with us on a beer – Time Hop Porter.
"We learned so much about business planning and moving our brewery forward in the few days we had with the Sam Adams team," Marta said about her time spent in Boston. "The advice and mentoring is already having a positive impact on our business as we look toward opening our next tasting room. Our favorite part about the whole experience was developing the recipe for Time Hop Porter and brewing the collaboration beer at the Boston Brewery." ► Read More

They are properly referred to as "tisanes" or infusions, crafted from dried herbs, flowers, leaves, roots, seeds and fruit. Like tea, herbal infusions have been consumed for centuries as healing tonics to lift the spirit and enhance well-being. Our Herbal blends are hand crafted with artisan care and a vast knowledge of how theantioxidant properties and therapeutic applications ofpure, fresh herbs, flowers, and botanicals, deliver delicious healthful infusions that can delight both mind and body.

This is a rich tea with this sort of savory flavor. It's only available in this box, but I'd kill for a canister.
Crimson Nectar is my favorite herbal tea. The color is beautiful, the aroma is heavenly, and the taste is slightly tangy with a buttery finish. PLEASE bring this tea back!
The loose leaf crimson nectar has a lovely rich color and fragrant scent. To me, it tastes like fresh strawberries or sweet apple pie. It is my new favorite!!! Fantastic iced.
This rich hibiscus blend has a fantastic array of flavors. The apples and oranges layer wonderfully over the hibiscus and rose buds, and the cinnamon provides a perfect finish. Without question, one of my favorite herbal teas.
This is one of the best herbal teas I've had in a long time. It smells heavenly and has a wonderful finish. Seriously fantastic.
I had this for the first time at my golf club, it is the best tea ever! Crimson Nectar is the perfect balance of sweetness and zing! Thank you TeaForte! My only complaint is it doesn't come in the convenient tea pyramid bags!
This is by far the best cup of tea I've had in some time :) Received it as a gift as I am an herbal tea connoisseur (or so I thought) Cannot believe I've been missing out on this variety :) Great product!! Sweet; Red; and soothing for any time of day! YUM!
Crimson nectar is one of my fav. teas. I was suprised to find out it is only in the winter collection. I want it all year round. A very zingy and refreshing flavor. If you need a little something different and satisfying without the calories this is the one.
This was a real surprise. A unique package with a little leaf on top caught my eyes at a church meeting. I waited with anticipation as it steeped. I was well rewarded with the full and delightful flavours of this tea. I look for it every time I go shopping and finally found it. Lucky me! and you when you give it a try! First taste: Oct 2009
This is one of the most wonderful tasting teas I have ever tasted! The mix of flavors makes every tastebud in my mouth smile and the smell of this tea is incredible! I will have to buy lots of this over the holiday season, as it is a limited edition. :-( I will eagerly await for Tea Forte to discover that this would be a fabulous summertime flavor also....over ice! Yes, I have had it both hot and cold and highly recommend you try it both ways. I have already turned 4 of my friends on to this flavor and they agree!

Smokers Are Still High School's 'Cool Kids,' Study Finds
Power of peer approval outweighs decades of public health education among teens
Peer pressure continues to prompt high school students to light up, new research suggests, because popular teens tend to smoke and they induce others to take up the habit in an effort to fit in and be liked.
"Popularity is a strong predictor of smoking," said study author Thomas Valente, a professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. "We haven't done enough to make it cool not to smoke."

First of all they started 40 minutes late. Water was not given, however I had taken the same bus previous night and water was given. Thinking that they give water we did not bring water. When asked for water the staff was very rude and he didnt stop anywhere to buy water. Will never take this bus again.

Late one night in this conservative university dorm, young college bucks Michael and Addy hook up for some nasty closet fucking. Both of these guys are completely straight acting, if a little bit nerdy; however, they get down and dirty like experienced anal pros! At first oral sex is the order of the evening, with the guys take turns sucking each others' dicks and also paying plenty of oral attention to each others' asses. There are some great close-ups of the hot rim jobs - and both of these guys have got hairy, completely natural ass cracks! Once the butts are well lubricated with saliva, the dudes also ream each other in the ass.

The intensity of the experience will be dependent on the interests of the student.
- Clinical: Students will work directly with a clinical ethicist and the consult service to field ethics consultation requests, including participation in clinical ethics consults. The student should be prepared to carry the ethics consultation pager a minimum of two weeks during a four week elective.

Should the cafeterias at work be for profit or charge just enough to cover the expenses? Discuss.
Should the cafeterias at work be for profit or charge just enough to cover the expenses? Discuss.
I see hills.... Bring them on!!!
Stay calm and bring a towel.
Cover expenses. I know of a place near here taht makes semi trucks. They hired a man to run their cafeteria and told him to make it so employees could eat well for $5.00. That is his job and he does it well from what I am told.

I think it depends on the size of the workplace, how many people they think will use it and what types of things will be offered.
In all cases, I think the goal should be to make enough to cover expenses and have a *small* profit, just enough to deal with potential fluctuations in customers from month to month. If they operate right on the borderline all the time, then they won't have anything in the "bank" to address periodic downturns.
I don't agree with the notion of trying to run cafeterias as a major "for profit" business in general because that would offer no incentive to use it. I'd just go offsite for lunch at that point. Cafeterias on location should offer a convenient way to get some nice healthy food easily and quickly, making it less likely that my lunch will interrupt my workday.
I know a couple of people who work in environments were the food is subsidized 100%, but then those people generally have very long working hours.
Who runs the cafeteria? Is it the business or is it an outside company?
If the business owns the cafeteria, the cooks/cashiers/et.al. would be employees, so the business would need to make sure they were not losing money by owning the cafeteria, just as they would with any other facet of the business.
If an outside vendor runs the cafeteria, they deserve to make a profit by providing food and service just like any other restaurant. If they don't provide a good service, people don't eat there and they go out of business. Hello capitalism.

huh. You would think covering expenses would be good at college here - especially keeping the food prices in check because I mean they are students -working and going to school, but there is no cost control here, everything is expensive and since we're not the main campus where the better cafeteria and restaurant is - we have a ... kiosk. And any food dishes like rice & beans or chicken etc is all prepackaged and look like obvious leftovers from the other campus - or campus events. And wait staff horribly unprofessional. I really razzed them on a survey they sent around last year.
"In the kitchen there's many a roach...they see the food and on it encroach"
There was a HUGE campus scandal years ago when the student-run campus newspaper published a story detailing how the cafeteria took left-over food from professor's business meetings and served it to the students. Similar problems happened at another school in the area where they'd take the left overs from one meal and turn it into a "new" meal the next day or week. imagine having pumpkin pie prior to thanksgiving and "squash" soup the next.
When I was in college, everyone was supposed to be on a meal plan, but the food made me sick so I was able to get a medical exemption. I'm sensitive to garlic and get sick if I eat too much of it and this place put garlic in everything except the breakfast cereal!
I lean towards workplace cafeterias being able to cover their fixed and variable costs, as opposed to being a revenue center.
Regards, MillCreek
Snohomish County, Washington USA
At the college cafeteria here they charge like $4 for a small bottle of milk. I'm like I could get a whole jug for that much, yo.
Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
Another choice of course is to bring your own food, but that doesn't seem to be a popular choice (at least where I work). I opt for this option as my quiet protest to the way cafeteria is ran and their prices. Unfortunately most others are willing to deal with it, just grab the gruel and get back to work. *shrug

The customers (your coworkers) can pay for the convenience of the onsite vendor, run out for a bite if time allows, or bring their own lunch.
From what you're saying enough people think the food is priced reasonable enough that they are "willing to deal with it." (i.e. they are paying fair market value for the service, as they are not forced to eat there)
Sounds like the system is working just fine for everyone involved, including you since you've figured out their underlying scheme to fleece you and your coworkers!

David Hirschy of Prescott, Arizona, has worn many hats — from record producer to chef to silversmith. In fact, his love of food made him think something was wrong a few years ago when he lost his sense of taste. He began to have other symptoms, too, which led him to Mayo Clinic in Arizona where he was diagnosed with the extremely rare Cronkhite-Canada syndrome — so rare that there have been less than 500 cases reported in the past 50 years.
In the following video, David and his Mayo physicians, Lucinda Harris, M.D., gastroenterologist, and Giovanni De Petris, M.D., pathologist, share his story.

Thank you for visiting Lily's fundraising page.
Until her first birthday, Lily was like any other little girl - happy, loving and desperate to explore the world around her. Then things started to change - she lost her speech and her interest in life. Lily was in pain physically and emotionally and no one could give any answers.
Shortly after her second birthday, Lily was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome. A tiny mutation to a single gene has condemned her to a life of profound disability and total dependence.
Lily is locked inside her body, unable to communicate. There is no doubt that it is one of the cruellest syndromes and, as parents, the hardest thing is knowing that things will get worse. Lily faces the prospect of epilepsy, severe spinal curvature, life-threatening breathing problems, feeding difficulties and attacks of acute anxiety.
But there is hope. Rett Syndrome has been reversed under laboratory conditions.
Scientists predict that it will be the first curable neurological disorder.
The only thing holding back a cure is money.
Researchers are wholly reliant on private donations from people like you.
As a family we have watched our brave little girl fight with determination each and every day. Please help us to help her.

At a one-day workshop Tuesday sponsored by the Federal Trade Commission to discuss the future of automobile dealers in the U.S., executives from General Motors and Tesla jabbed at each other over electric car sales.
GM CEO and Chairwoman Mary Barra touted the new Chevrolet Bolt as being one of the few all-electric cars that could be purchased in all states.
Later, at a direct-sale discussion, a lawyer for Tesla chided Barra by saying that it was GM's persistence in shaping dealer law nearly a century ago that has forced Tesla out of six states including Michigan and Texas.
"Because they voluntarily chose generations ago to use a certain business model, (GM thinks) everyone that comes after should be required as a matter of law to use the same model," Tesla lawyer Todd Maron said Tuesday. (Read More…)

'Eggsperience' offers fun for all ages
March 21, 2013
By Catherine Ross (Fort Carson)
FORT CARSON, Colo. -- Eggsperience took over the field and indoor basketball courts of Iron Horse Sports and Fitness Center Saturday, providing fun and adventure for Fort Carson Families.
"It's great," said Army spouse Nickki Owens. "There are fun activities for the kids to do."
Despite gray skies, Owens and her children took advantage of both the indoor and outdoor activities at the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation event. "We did the egg hunt and loved looking for the different colors.
"It's informative too. There are lots of vendors from off post and on post," Owens said of information provided by event sponsors and participating organizations made available indoors.
"It's going great. The response has been wonderful, especially on a cold weather day," said Ann Edinger, chief of Events and Entertainment, DFMWR, standing in the basketball court packed with attendees enjoying a magic show, refreshments, petting zoo, arts and crafts, photos with the Easter bunny, and tables filled with event sponsor information.
"The staff here is really good about letting us in here," Edinger said of the new location, adding that Iron Horse Sports and Fitness Center provided extra room not available in years past at the Special Events Center.
Edinger said participation by other Fort Carson organizations helped make the event a success, including Army Community Service; DARE program; Child, Youth and School Services; the Elkhorn Conference Center; and Fort Carson Religious Services.
Edinger also shed light on a mystery.
"You know the rabbits and ducks walking around?" Edinger asked, referring to several costumed animal characters interacting with Families. "They're (Better Opportunity for Single Soldiers) program volunteers."
The event gave DFMWR an opportunity to showcase its new photo service. Instead of walking away with a single hard copy of their child's photo with the Easter bunny, families can now view and download photos online, as well as order additional prints and custom photo items.
"This shortens lines and eliminates the need for cash," said Stephanie Dipane, an illustrator with DFMWR's marketing department. Dipane said that Families can also share a link to their photos with friends and out-of-town Family members.
A portion of the basketball courts housed a small petting zoo. Families could pet rabbits, chicks, roosters and baby goats provided by Angel Fire 4-H Club from Ellicott.
Outside, cooler temperatures did not deter Families from the egg hunt. Both children and adults lined up for the egg launch as well, using a sling shot held by two volunteers to launch raw eggs as far as possible.
Young athletes tackled the Junior Spartan Obstacle Course, which included an inflatable wall climb with slide, and a low-crawl obstacle under simulated barbed wire. Immediately upon completing the low crawl, the participants faced a fun noodle gantlet.
"This is way more fun than being inside," said Ann Tsuyama, Iron Horse Sports and Fitness Center assistant manager, as she double-wielded blue fun noodles at the far end of the obstacle. "I'm getting my workout chasing the kids."
Between chasing waves of children braving the gantlet with laughs and smiles, Sgt. Donald Linville, 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, who volunteered to help run the obstacle course said, "It's definitely a good time."

Giclée (French for "to spray") is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper's surface creating natural color transitions.

Purchase Reason
- Fill Wall Space
In all the years I've been ordering from Art.com, I have never been disappointed! The selection of art is HUGE, the framing and mat choices are excellent, love the fact that plexiglass is used instead of glass (especially on larger pieces which can get very heavy with glass). Customizing mat sizes is so easy and the customer service staff is great! Highly recommend Art.com !!!

You can easily find your referral link by clicking on "Get Code" on your control panel. 😆
haha. I removed the reference from the post. I swear to god that wasn't there before haha!! I'll go hide now!! 😳
I've added the widget on my blog as well.Currently waiting to see if it brings any traffic.
I decided to put it on my blog as well. I wonder if the nature of it is such that it doesn't really increase traffic for you unless you've already got huge traffic. If anything, it might increase the disparity between popular blogs and established blogs.
How are you guys finding it? The topics which are being displayed on Blogging Tips are very unrelated to the content (something I mentioned in the post).
If you watched their intro video you will know that the traffic exchange is in a 1 for 1 basis so I don't know where the impressions are going to come from (maybe I'm missing something!).
You show a widget containing 5 links on your site and in return get 1 link in one widget on another site. That leaves 4 spots in every impression that can be used to fulfil the promises in the referral program.
I haven't looked into it in detail but that's my guess.
yes but isn't the referral system 10 tier. Thats what I couldnt work out. As I said, I'm sure theres an easy answer thats staring me in the face haha
I took another look and you're right. I hadn't realised that each of the 10 tiers was a one for one exchange.
If everyone managed to get 10 tiers beneath them I can't see how it would work either.
I've heard a bit of the buzz and hadn't caught on just yet. I think that I'll wait to see how you guys find it first and then make my decision. 🙂
The problem with blogrush is that if your blog does not get enough traffic then blogrush wont help you much. I think the tool needs some work yet.
I have it on my site. It does fit nicely, but I hate BLUE. It won't be on there long if they don't allow custom link colors or simply stop telling it what color to put the links and let them match the blog that they are going onto.
Great post though…I see the pros and cons about equal to you, but what the hell. It is should be an okay service. Hope it works out for them.
I think that we will start seeing real reviews when 'small/medium' blogs start using the service.
The problem is when I look at content in the widget as I was reading you post, it has really nothing to do to your blog category (which i assume is internet or blogging or something close) nor to your post. So it's a waste of precious real estate. It seems like a smart link exchange and am sure there's a smart algorithm behind the scene to handle that but it doesn't deal with relevance ;-(
Um, mine says:
We are currently experiencing some technical issues and the site will be back online shortly. Please come back in a few minutes.
Now it is saying that on my blog. Not good.
I have to say that since I've instaled Blogrush, my page views have doubled. Now this could be a coincidence, but I like it!
