I don't believe in New Year's resolutions – but on that note, how about a life resolution?
I resolve to share with you more of the things that I eat, like, all the time. Delicious things. Healthy things. Things you should eat.
Things like quinoa.
Have we not discussed quinoa? I don't believe we have. Let's see, where do I begin? For those of you who are quinoa-virgins, quinoa is a grain that contains protein. Not only does it contain protein, it's actually a complete protein, meaning it includes all nine essential amino acids. Most importantly, it's super-easy to cook, and super-tasty. It's a great alternative to whole-wheat pasta for fast weeknight meals, because it's got the protein already included. And did I mention it tastes good? It has a nutty flavor and a unique, almost crunchy texture.

Each day, the Miami Dolphins literally count down the seconds until the meeting in late May when the NFL decides where to play the 2016 Super Bowl. The suspense may be team owner Stephen Ross' best political weapon in winning about $200 million in government dollars for a stadium renovation.
On miamifirst.com, which the Dolphins launched as the online headquarters for their stadium campaign, a ticker in the top corner tracks the days, hours and seconds until May 22, when Ross' fellow NFL owners are expected to decide between South Florida and San Francisco for the 50th Super Bowl.
The Dolphins and their backers claim the extra dollars that will come from the milestone Super Bowl justifies quick approval of $199 million in government money for a stadium renovation — leaving no time for the extended negotiations or referendum that skeptics of the deal want.
"There is a lot of pressure … to react in a very, very quick way," said Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban Bovo Jr., who last week voted against a resolution endorsing the Dolphins' financing plan. "It should have been discussed for months before we got to this point."
Commissioners approved the resolution nine days after the Dolphins unveiled a plan to spend at least $201 million in private dollars on a $400 million renovation. The rest would come from a new $3 million yearly state subsidy to Sun Life and from raising Miami-Dade hotel taxes, which would generate at least $9 million a year under current conditions.
A bill allowing both changes is set for its first hearing in Tallahassee on Tuesday, two days after Sunday's Super Bowl in New Orleans. If the bill passes, county commissioners would have to vote again to raise mainland hotel taxes to 7 percent from 6 percent to fund the stadium renovations.
The May 22 deadline comes thanks to a schedule set by the NFL, an association governed by its 32 teams. In October, the NFL announced San Francisco and South Florida as the two areas allowed to compete for the 50th game. The contest has played well to the Dolphins' argument for a stadium upgrade, given the $1.2 billion stadium being built near San Francisco in time for the '16 game.
NFL teams have long used Super Bowl as a potential reward for communities funding stadium construction. But Super Bowl L in 2016 presents a special case for South Florida, which vies with New Orleans for holding the most Super Bowls in NFL history.
Dolphins executives say a stadium upgrade will preserve South Florida's Super Bowl edge for years to come, so a stadium plan approved after May would presumably make the region a strong contender for Super Bowls after 2016. But team executives say a delay would probably cost South Florida the benefits that come with the 50th game.
"The NFL's going to put a lot into it,'' said Rodney Barreto, the longtime chair of the Super Bowl host committee and whose partner in a Coral Gables firm, Brian May, also lobbies for the Dolphins. "It's going to be a year-round celebration. It's their anniversary."
Super Bowl L isn't the only argument the Dolphins have made for the $400 million renovation package. They also see a renovated stadium helping attract soccer games and other major events, as well as beefing-up stadium amenities enough to keep the stadium a viable NFL home for at least 25 more years.

A first level adventure between some friends of mine and I. We're still figuring a few things out but eventually we may include other folks.
Katapesh. The perpetual din and swarm of commerce is not for the feint of heart. Life can be very cheap, or very expensive, depending on who is the bidder... The shadowy crime lord known to many as "Ruriel the Fey" has set his focus on negotiations for a piece of property on nearby Stonespine Island, where he hopes to construct a Pleasure Retreat. As an incentive to the property's current owner, he has procured a substantial quantity of Pesh and has recently commissioned the captain and crew of The Bonaventura to act as his couriers.
As our story continues Tzi'kazochi, Half-Elf bon-vivant and sailor aboard The Bonaventura has just reconnected with Captain Eron.
"I've done many gray things in my time on the sea, but this is new. We're drug pushers, my boy...I need a drink." The day approaches its close, and with that the adventurers head to Jerikal's a rough and tumble watering hole near the docks.
Ruriel, not one known for his trusting nature, has assigned two of his Half-Orc bodyguards to accompany the shipment: Awrl, Ruriel's right hand and Hako, up-and-coming star of the Gladitorial Arenas around Katapesh follow the men surreptitiously to Jerikal's.
Meanwhile, on Stonespine Island, Molgo the Witch, disciple of Baba Yaga, makes a wary trek from his remote and isolated cabin in search of supplies at the nearest human settlement, a good day's walk away. En route, he finds a most curious boat moored and abandoned. Investigation of the circumspect landing reveals mysterious runes and magical heat, which fill the Witch-man with worry and a good amount of fear. As the sun sets and the stars rise, he sees a shooting star. And another. And another.
"This bodes ill," he says, and decides to make his camp for the night. He will soon be troubled by strange dreams.
I think you have to add me (and Vic and Boogie need to make characters on here. Yayy!
Hmmm. Looks like you're in both the Player and Character tabs to me!
Yup, I'm in! Avi changed to differentiate from ze GM. ;)
Yaargh! Hako is here, alias of that puny Voomer.
bah, posted as Kanthuun!
Well met, all. And I imagine Molgo will be joining us by and by!
Had to get home, but I am here
Sleeping is what I am doing! How do I talk then. Hmph.
for out of character stuff, or in the discussion thread we can go
here's a dice roll Check Out Your Mom1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
You can Preview to see how your dice rolled--you can't 'refresh' to change your roll, I don't think, and that would be cheeeating...and then you can react accordingly...
His mother is a right looker, mused Tsi'. "I have...an errand to run..." Tsi' faded off to the left, whistling.
oops, I wrote this all in past tense. Anyhoo.
Also, this
Kanthuun entertains Eron as Jerikal's comes within sight. "Captain! We should enjoy the time we have on shore. It's not like we've seen many nubile maidens out on the high seas, and Katapesh must be full of them! Unless you count mermaids, and if you're asking me, they really should be fish on top and..." He continues his icthyological speculations with Eron, taking in the evening sights.
Who's Kanthuun? Isn't it Tsi who's accompanying Ebon to Jerkal's?
Hako and Awrl are following at medium distance. Tsi expects to see Hako at the bar, and two half-orcs don't make the sneakiest pair. As he walks, Hako imagines the taste of Jerkal's ale on his tongue, and he wonders about this elf (or half-elf? Hako hasn't had a lot of experience with either type). Tsi looks so puny, but he handled the portside attempted mugging deftly and with confidence. Hako thinks there may be something to gain from further observation, if nothing else to size him up in case he and Eron decide to double-cross Ruriel.
Hako's stealth roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Hako is lost in thought and stumbles into the streetside display of a pots and pan vendor...
Eric keeps switching his names due to excess tiredness and two campaigns.
Hako and Awrl, while doing their level best to blend in with the crowd, find the crowd in the bazaar parting as they follow their quarry. To any who are paying attention, these two brutes stand out like a sore thumb. HOWEVER, Tsi and Captain Eron are so mired in their conversation about the comparative merits of fish-women vs. real women they pay no attention. Eron and Tzi arrive at Jerkal's without incident, and a moment or two later so do Hako and Awrl. You sidle up to opposite sides of the very long bar and in turn you are attended by Ahk-met, a slender man in a linen shirt with purple eyes.
"Hard currency only, no barter. What is your pleasure?"
Molgo, as you lay your head back against a knotted tree with a large overhang, you try to put the sight of the shooting stars out of your head. Your eyelids bob and grow heavy, and just before you succumb to sleep, you are BONKED on the head. You turn around you and there, larger than life is the crone herself, Baba Yaga. She holds her pestle with one hand and a large club in the other.
"A sure way to get one's throat slit is to fall asleep when there is strangeness about, Molgo. She cackles.
Jerkal's homebrew. No dead rat in it this time.
Awrl snorts in agreement and slaps you on the back. Several patrons slide away from you. Ahk-met sneers and turns to get your drinks.
"You had better be ready out there. Ruriel doesn't take kindly to failure. These two don't look like much trouble, but once we've set sail who knows what scum we may come across." He spits on the ground.
"Two fine wheat ales, if you please, with some of those famous lemons you have in these latitudes. ...and perhaps a little extra honey wine for my Captain here," says Tsi'kazochi, first with a disarming smile, and then a glance at his longfaced boss.
Tsi' glances around to take in the sights.
Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
I'm pretty sure I'll notice those half-orcs now...
"Don't worry about me, Awrl. I know well the scum of the sea, and I didn't survive this long by letting what few opportunities have come my way slip through my fingers. As you know, the orc don't much coddle their young, and the likes of us got coddled much less." Subtly gesturing towards Tsi, "Not like them elves that hang onto their mama's teats until the age of 25."
for good measure, perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Woo Hoo! Look at that roll! Of course, there may not be much to spot right now...
Ahk-met returns to Awrl and Hako and leaves two flagons of some dark liquid in front of you. He puts out his hand for payment. Awrl nudges you to pay, Hako. You put down two coins, Ahk-met bites one to make sure it's real and walks away from you. You follow his movement casually and see at the end of the bar Tzi and Capt. Eron receiving their drinks with a good deal more cordiality than was bestowed upon you. Tzi, you put down two coins as well, and Eron offers a toast.
"To the sea, my boy. May the gods you worship guide us...but look the other way once we get where we're going."
As you clink glasses and take your first gulp, you see Hako and Awrl starring you down at the end of the bar.
And you both notice shadowy figures moving behind you...
Back on Stonespine Island, Baba Yaga shifts her weight back and forth and sniffs the air. "Molgo, you simple minded fool! You among all should know that foul things run in the dark! I have better things to do than watch after you, but the others tell me that you may yet play a part in what's to come. Now before I kick you in the seat of your pants to get you on your way, do you have any boon to ask of your Baba?"
In one movement, Hako grasps one of the throwing axes hung at his waist and turns to face the shadowy figures -- not so dramatically so as to look foolish if the figures are nothing sinister, but fast enough to take effective action.
"Lady Fine, your abuse is always my pleasure. I do not like the portents plastered about the plain. Heh. I know your eye sees all. This boat. This floating filth that burns and confounds me. What does your beautiful milky eyes see?"
Molgo picks his nose.
"Molgo, the Adepts of Blackfire are at hand. And they call down the stars for their own grim ends. Mayhaps you'll prove a hero, mayhaps you'll prove a fool. Only you can decide that. In the meantime, I'd turn around if I were you." And with that she mounts her mortar* and flies off into the night, cackling. You realize that you are not dreaming...nor are you alone.
Boogie, roll initiative. And *: when I said pestle earlier, I TOTALLY meant mortar!
Hako, you turn around into a group of 3 young, fresh faced men with daggers drawn. They do not budge.
Hako stands and grasps his orc double axe with his other hand (it can be wielded one or two handed). So, if he makes it to his feet, he stands with a throwing axe in one hand and his orc axe in the other. All 6 foot 6 of ritually scarred half-orc-edness. Loud enough that others around can hear, he declares: "I don't know what your business is young humans, but this is not a fight you want to bring on yourselves." intimidate 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 initiative 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Since this is new to me, do I show my dice rolls too?
Molgo spins around gripping Mr. Stick tightly. "Mr. Rat, wake up, Mr. Rat!" initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
In past games, it was always behind GM screen, so I'd think not.
Hey Hako, using Intimidate during combat is a standard action, so I'm not sure you can swing your axe and demoralize in the same round. I think. Just letting you know. There may be a half-orc feat to get around this...
Shiprot! thinks Tsi'. Instinctively he stands in front of Captain Eron to block attackers and draws his gleaming starknife. "Captain! Bore up and 'ware arms!" Yay, mariner lingo!
Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Hey Kiv, you can also roll all of our Initiatives in the future if you'd like, so you can set the combat order. I'll be putting up all of my data on Tsi's Paizo page ASAP.
By the way...am I wearing my armor, or did I leave it on the ship? :D I am not sure I walk around in it all day...pity...could come in handy...
Hako's intention is to spend a standard action to intimidate the assailants, if he has the opportunity to do so before they attack. Although Katapesh is pretty lawless, he's learned it's wise for half-orcs to avoid slaughtering humans in public unless it is really clear it was self-defense. If they attack first, he will attack back. Hako does, by the way, walk around in his studded leather.
To be expected for a bruiser. :)
Alright, let's start with Allen. Molgo, you turn around to find yourself being overtaken by two men in blood red robes carrying torches. The attempt to pin you to the tree you were sleeping against.
Hako, two of the three young men back down but the third does not. You do have the upper hand on him, should you choose to do anything else.
Tzi, you are face to face with the young men who tried to start trouble with you in the bazaar. "You think we wouldn't follow you? You think we are afraid of Ruriel? When he sees how we handle you, he will make US his new men!" And unfortunately, as you did leave your armor on the ship, he slices across your belly. 2 damage. You feel the blood rush through your veins and are ready to attack.
Hako will sheathe his throwing axe and strike the remaining assailant with his orc double axe, but attempt to do nonlethal damage, which means a -4 to hit. Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 4 = 2 He rolls a one, so misses miserably. I don't know if there are consequences to critical misses in your game.
By the way, it turns out the double axe takes two hands to wield, even if making just one attack, which is why Hako sheathed his throwing axe, using his move action
Hako's armor class is 16.
Go ahead and re-roll that to see if there is added hilarity.
attack re-rolled: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 4 = 21
A 20! That should have been my first roll.
Hako, while your attack wildly misses your target, it DOES cleave a nearby table in half, sending its occupants and your opponents scrambling for the door. Awrl laughs and downs his drink. You hear a scuffle from the opposite side of the bar and see the Half-Elf toe to toe with his assailants.
Excellent. There WAS added hilarity! Hako is pleased he still came off scary, if a little inaccurate. Hako heads over to where Tsi is. Can't have the Captain and his crew skewered before we hit the Inner Sea.
Once he gets there he guesses at who stabbed Tsi (perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8) and attacks twice, non-lethally: attack one: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 4 = 2 attack two: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 4 = 8
I'm assuming both of those missed. Obviously, I'll await Eric's return to the thread before doing any further attacks.
"I will not be your pretty girl tonight, ruby-robed rapscallions!" Molgo's CMD is 11 to avoid the pin. If they're unsuccessful, a quick rap on the closest one's skull should dissuade him. Quarterstaff attack 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12
my actions should be before Hako--let's see what I get to do.
Tsi' snarls. "Motherless dogs--taste my starknife!" He drives the wicked four-bladed instrument at his assailant, heedless of the pain in his abdomen.
1d20 ⇒ 7
uh oh.
in the unlikely event I hit...
1d4 ⇒ 4
Oh, yeah, in case I hit... Quarterstaff Damage1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
The close quarters of Jerikal's make fighting a difficult proposition at best. The two young men take advantage of Hako's approach and the ensuing flood of people moving AWAY from the angry half orc to avoid all attacks against them. They have put a bit of distance from yourself and them, and Captain Eron has drawn his blade to join in the fray.
"You impudent bastards! How dare you attack Tzi! GOOD HELP IS HARD TO FIND!" And he bounds towards them.
Molgo, with a decisive BONK on the head, one of your foes crumples to the ground. The other, a bit taken aback lets go of you. Mr. Rat is hissing wildly, but will not quite approach them.
When it is Hako's turn to act, he wants to sheathe his axe and try to tackle and hold down one of the assailants. Grapple check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Hako's attempt to grapple provokes an attack of opportunity, against AC 16. Hako's CMD is 18, which is the DC for the opponent to break the grapple. If Hako holds the grapple he will attempt to pin the next round. I assume Hako's still using the 10 initiative roll from before.
"Not so tough now, when you're...well, unconscious! And for you, Mr. Red Number Two, start spouting out the sinister secrets of your silly sequestering of your's truly!" Molgo begins making elaborate gestures to indicate he's about to cast a very impressive and most dangerous spell that will most likely flay the flesh from his assailant's bones. As much as his minor spells can.
While you gather yourself for a second strike, Molgo, the remaining robed figure trips and his hood falls backward. You see the face of a young man no older than 20, but his eyes looks like red-grey marbles, full of fear. He puts a hand up. "WAIT!
Hako, you manage to push your way through the crowd and are able to hold one of the young men in place. He struggles a bit but quickly realizes he has made a huge mistake. You turn back to Awrl who has his arm around a very frightened looking bar patron, laughing and pointing your way.
Captain Eron is attempting to make his way through the crowd to teach the other young man a lesson. Tzi, the wound isn't bleeding but it is definitely painful. Do you summon your courage to give chase?
For what it's worth, imagine Captain Eron looking like a satan-bearded Jeff Fahey in a Privateer's outfit.
Hako pins the youth and tells him, "you and me have some talking to do", then he flashes Awrl a thumbs up and toothy grin, mugging for Awrl's benefit while basically sitting on the youth.
"Oh, now I wait? Now you have me to wait while you formulate another ferocious frenzy of fists? Who do you think I am, Jeff Fahey!?!? Mr. Rat! Show him your teeth! Show him what waits for him if he twitches even so much as a nosehair!" Molgo shouts this, not sparing the spittle.
Tsi' snarls and rushes after the escaping man, starknife in hand. "Yaahhhh!" he cries, usual cleverness lost in incoherent anger.
Tsi'kazochi uses Agile Feet as a free action to jump over anything--and anyone--in his way unhindered, caring little for the "difficult terrain" of the bar. He gets this for the next round. In addition--without armor, his move rate is 40' due to Travel Domain. You BET he's going to run that motherless dog down!
Nice fourth wall break, Molgo. :P
Katapesh: Captain Eron clumsily shoves his way through the crowd and manages to pin the young man in a corner booth along with its current occupants. Tzi, you can hear them exchanging bravado as you deft move across the bar, using the floor and the patrons to propel you along in equal measure. You quickly close the gap. The young man is panicked, and his eyes and dagger dart between you and the Captain.
"Were it me, lad, I'd have cut you stem to stearn before it'd come to this. But now we've got you in a bind, and I think I'll let my Mate decide how he wants his revenge for such a cheap blow."
I realize, out of context, that sounds a little filthy. Oh well. Tzi, the boy's fate is on you.
Hako, the young man struggles under your weight, occasionally threatening you with greater violence should you let him up. Silly boy. Awrl saunters over to you as the action dies down. He leans down and gets your captive's face.
"If you weren't afraid of Ruriel before, you are now. Would you like us to take you to him?"
Stonespine: Mr. Rat moves toward the hooded man with a rabid snarl, which sends him crawling backwards. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You were supposed to be asleep! And it would have been him what done it! I may be a coward, but sure I'm no murderer! Please, let me go! I won't tell the others I saw you!"
"And you would have sat there, mewling like a babe as my liquid life spilled onto the Spine of the Sea?!?! Others!??! What others are The Others? An island this is, but I am no Lost one!

Lawyers know better than anyone that it's often the details that count the most. Carlos Rivera, director of dining services for CulinArt at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, a New York City law firm, uses the same dedication to the little things to serve the firm's 750 employees.
"He's dedicated with the details," says Victor Parise, executive chef. "He's constantly on top of problems and he's proactive. More than anything he's great with the customers. He knows every person by name."
Retail-minded: One of the biggest changes Rivera brought to Cadwalader was a retail mindset. Before joining CulinArt, Rivera worked at New York City's Fifth Avenue Epicure, a 3,000 square-foot gourmet market, so he was well-versed in the retail side of the business.
"When I joined CulinArt in 2002, it was my first experience with corporate dining," Rivera says. "To some extent, I never knew this side of the business even existed. I brought a retail approach to the operation and everything started growing. Seven years ago there was this mentality in a corporate environment that the food was never as good as outside. We started offering more restaurant-style foods and more exhibition cooking, as well as working to get the customers more involved. Everything just grew from there."
Rivera says he learned quickly that corporate foodservice depended on how well he knew his customers, so he made it a priority to be as involved with his customers and clients as possible. That includes lunching with partners and developing an intranet menu.
"If there is one way that you can always beat your competitors, it's in service," Rivera says. "We're pretty much marketing the same products, but when you can really go the extra mile and understand what your customers' needs are, then you can be successful. Corporate was pretty much identifying what the culture is, and saying, 'OK, this is a law firm. How does a law firm work?' There are 90 partners and I lunch with them pretty often. I pretty much know them on a personal level. I know their area of practice. It's almost like how their secretaries know how they work, but from my end its always, 'what can I do to make your life easier?'"
His efforts have resulted in an 80% participation rate, up from 60% when he first came to the account.
"Our participation rate has stayed at about 80% since I came here and I think that's a good indicator that our clients and customers are not going out to eat," Rivera says. "That was a very big thing for the firm: How can we keep everybody here? Before I came here, I believe there was not much communication between the dining room and the clients. We've worked very hard to establish a relationship where we really get our customers involved in our menus."
Rivera says he values customer input on events such as the themes for cocktail mixers his department puts on, as well as for the annual holiday party that they recently took over.
"We do about 50 cocktail events per year," Rivera says. "We actually get our customers to give a theme. For instance, if we have a customer who went to Italy and saw something there, then we get all the information from them and we try to create from that. We've also had the opportunity to do the in-house holiday party, which they used to take outside. We're talking 900 people [employees from the firm's Washington, D.C. and Charlotte, N.C. offices attend too]. It's an extravaganza like you cannot believe. Even in this environment, I'd be lying to you if I said we were thriving, but we're definitely holding our own. I believe the efforts we put into this approach from the beginning when everything was economically sound has really paid off. Now our customers know they have a good deal and they feel good about eating with us."
New concepts: Growing up in New York City in the '70s and '80s, Rivera learned by observing the growing "gourmet" industry. He says he remembers the first Fairway market—a grocery chain that deals in specialty foods—as a place where he developed his passion for food.
"I worked at Fairway for about a year, just as a young guy," Rivera says. "Then I did a cheese externship with the owner of the Ideal Cheese shop on the East Side because I always had a passion for cheese. Doing that and working at Fairway, it was an experience that I just never forgot. I never went to culinary school. I just always worked around great chefs."
Rivera's passion for food has fed his creation of several new concepts. Every week, a different concept is featured near the salad bar. One of the most popular concepts is a tapas bar.
"We'll do little skewers of ceviche or a chorizo with manchego cheese," Rivera says. "The reception has been amazing. It's $3.25 for that and $3.25 for this and people buy them like crazy. I had to increase the output because it went over so well."
Rivera uses the same space to offer a fresh noodle bar, with choices of broth and vegetables and a baked potato bar that, he says, takes it up a notch by using sweet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes and stuffing them with fresh vegetables. Another successful program Rivera implemented was a Friday Flavors of the World station, designed to keep Friday just as exciting as the rest of the week.
"On Fridays, it's very normal for your sales to go down," Rivera says. "So I wanted to do something different. I eliminated the salad bar on Fridays. I put chafers into the salad bar and I created Flavors of the World. We've done things such as Indian and Japanese cuisine, all sold by the pound. My sales have gone up 15% on Fridays as a result. I think what normally happens is that when managers menu, they have a "thank God it's Friday" mentality and the menu reflects that. I wanted to make the menu just as exciting on Fridays as it is on Mondays, and it paid off."
This switch and others like it are the kinds of things that make Rivera stand out, according to Ed Jakubiak, district manager for CulinArt.
"I think Carlos has a genuine passion for the industry and the people he works with," Jakubiak says. " He really knows how to develop great relationships with his clients and staff. He always takes the CulinArt programs and implements them successfully and takes them above and beyond."
Another successful program Rivera implemented was designed to address the recession. Rivera says they introduced breakfast punch cards to encourage customers to buy breakfast.
"About 500 cards get punched and honored during a two-week period," Rivera says. "The program just started six months ago. They come in, get a punch for spending at least $1.50 and after 10 punches they get a free breakfast, up to $3. But the thing is, they're not just spending the $1.50, they're buying more items. We can feature a spinach and feta cheese omelet with home fries for $2.75 and they will buy it—when maybe this was a customer who would just buy a piece of fruit."
Choosing china: Rivera has also been heavily involved in implementing the cafeteria's green initiatives, including a switch to all china.
"My push right now is to use only china," Rivera says. "The only concern from the customer's point of view is how they get from point A to their office with china, but we'll get that solved. China is always the best solution when going green. We have 26 pantries on 17 floors, so we're reworking them so they have bussing tubs where people can deposit their trays and china. That's saved us about $30,000 because we haven't had to buy as many disposables."
Rivera says his department is about 75% of the way done with implementing the green initiatives the department wants to put in place. They've made the switch to environmentally friendly disposable cups. He says they have about 25% left to complete, such as switching their clamshells to environmentally friendly containers and increasing their local purchases.
"We're always going to make an effort to offer products that our customers are looking for," Rivera says. "We are very big with sustainability right now. We use local products from Long Island and New Jersey. We put signs on our food any time we make something using local products. There is no relation to cost; if it's local and good we will use it. About 25% of our purchases come from local items, and about 30% of our salad bar is purchased locally, season permitting."
Open door policy: Not only does Rivera want to be available to his customers, he wants his employees to feel comfortable coming to him. The last seven years, his employee retention rate has been more than 70%.
"I try to create a work environment where our employees have ownership for what they do," Rivera says. "I tell them, 'I would never have you do something I would never be willing to do myself.' Education is key. If you don't prepare your people, they're going to fail. If they fail, you're going to fail. Give me anybody with a good attitude and I'll train them. I'd rather have that than someone who thinks they know it all and has a
bad attitude."

Press Release 15 November 2007
Rome, 15 November, 2007 - The World Energy Congress included a session on the role of International Standards, in collaboration with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It provided an overview of the key role that International Standards can play in supporting the development and promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.
International Standards of the type produced by ISO and IEC were indeed recognized as part of the solution to today's energy issues. Not only can they help avoid unnecessary technical barriers to trade which might result from national and regional policies, but they are also essential for creating global markets for efficient energy technologies and for disseminating good energy management practices.
They also provide common metrics for defining and measuring energy performance so that investment decisions and incentives may be targeted to encourage energy efficiency. Moreover, international standards support scientific cooperation and the harmonization of public policies.
During the session, a panel presented how International Standards are already addressing these issues, provided many examples of the need for standardization, and what the next steps and priorities should be. One message stood out above the rest: the energy situation is pressing, the trends alarming, the time to act is now and International Standards are part of the solution. They can contribute to accelerate the short term and long term improvement of energy efficiency in all areas and the take up of renewable energy sources.
Paul Waide, from the International Energy Agency (IEA), highlighted the joint IEA-ISO Position Paper on the issue, which was used as background material for the 2007 G8 Meeting.
The ISO Secretary-General, Alan Bryden and the IEC President, Renzo Tani outlined the work their organizations are doing in order to promote the goal of a sustainable energy future in our interdependent world. The other panelists presented various examples of areas where International Standards were expected to contribute, both to energy efficiency in industry, transportation, building and appliances and for renewable energies. During the discussion, the issues of energy management standards and biofuels, for which ISO has recently created dedicated standardization committees, were also addressed.
Francisco Barnes, who chaired the session on behalf of WEC, concluded that a strategic partnership between the WEC, the IEA, ISO and IEC had been initiated and would be pursued in order to identify priorities for industry and governments and boost the production of globally relevant International Standards.

-- in the meantime we're gonna talk a little bit about the Tea Party you know the Romney Ryan ticket wins November.
It will put it Tea Party favorite just a heartbeat away from the Oval Office some of the big questions were talking about today.
Is what the role of the Tea Party movement will be playing twelve saw what happens when he ten.
-- B is the author of hostile takeover resisting centralized government stranglehold on America he's also.
The president and CEO our freedom works so mad you know Paul Ryan relatively well you guys -- met about twenty years ago on Capitol Hill.
-- if we work together as associates on the House Budget Committee when John case a twister first getting his start you know I can personally.
Yes he's he's exactly what you see on the stage she's easy going.
He's thoughtful he's a bit of a wonk but he's passionate about these issues and he's been willing to talk about things as a legislator.
That that a lot of thought politicians haven't been willing to touch and I think that's why.
Tea Party years and activist people to care about the size -- government are only attracted to them.
Yeah let's talk a little bit more about that and we understand of course of the Tea Party is not like the Republican Party it's more of a grassroots movement in your what is voices from that movement -- But how is the Romney Ryan ticket resonating now and how maybe has -- changing up from one week to another.
How sun that are part of this movement.
And view the Republican ticket this time around.
I was under estimating the impact of choosing the right vice presidential candidate.
Would have for the Romney ticket but the energy since Saturday morning.
Has been quite astounding and you sought on the -- I'm seeing it through our social networks people are excited about the idea.
And we're gonna have an honest debate between the principles of limited government on the Republican ticket particularly from Paul Ryan.
And the big government policies of Barack Obama.
Near the near times taking a look at this today this is the way to New York Times described.
At Tea Party lawmakers are calling and stubborn barbarians at the gate.
That are refusing to compromise and spending tax is -- or social policy that's in New York Times now.
Paul Ryan -- -- has been known to compromise to talk to folks across the -- he voted for the bank bailout he's been in Washington for a long time.
I -- -- some good column an insider being that he's been there for so long so so why is the Tea Party movement again.
Identify with some -- Paul Ryan.
Well we've definitely had our differences and then certainly freedom works fought with Paul on a number of these these votes that you've already mentions.
But it's that principle it's that willingness to actually tackle the elephant in the room which is sixteen trillion dollars in debts.
In entitlement system that is not going to be there for our kids and grandkids.
And a willingness to actually put a balanced budget on the table something that Harry Reid and the Democrats have failed to do for over three years that's what.
Paul Ryan and Tea -- years that's what connects us.
Assembly you disagree with him and some points that you respect him.
As well and that seems to be a little bit of -- take -- be seen over the last couple days.
I'd like to talk a little bit about just the election overall you know in 2008 the slogan for the president was hope and change.
And 2000 intended Tea Party really defines.
A lot of the conversation as well.
And you can almost with the Tea Party as I don't know slow dinner or something like that when you think about -- -- -- ten.
I campaign what I think 2012 is all about and when you think about how to define the Republican slogan if you well.
You know what would -- status.
You know I really think that in -- twelve the same issues that animated the Tea Party in 2010.
You heard Paul Ryan just said -- the government is spending too much money it doesn't have the government is involved in too many things like our health care.
These are still the issues and not not only enemy Tea -- -- but the very senator.
Of the American -- electorate and if you look at states like Florida.
Ohio Wisconsin Pennsylvania.
This overall battle grounds that the Tea Party won in 2010.
Probably going to decide who is president and who controls the senate and -- -- twelve.
As a real quick question for unite unite talks in the past is -- your very active here on these congressional races and -- suggests that.
I was in these primaries are putting out candidates that won't win in the general election.
I've never won what do you think about that and number two will you now jam more into this general election for the president.
I and become more active for the presidency as well as some of these local races.
Also the fights further who's going to be the Republican candidate are over -- -- -- today.
So we immediately shift all of our firepower all of our focus.
On who is going to control the senate.
My sense is that we're not gonna have any of these -- fires that we had in 2010.
In states like Delaware.
Because the Tea Party got very active very early.
And got behind candidates with the skills and talents and the principles.
That will get them elected in November.
And -- and Matt nice to have you with this it today again we appreciate it looked forward to checking in with the over the next couple weeks.
Appreciate it you know --

Hungry? Here's a Game-Wrap Sandwich on No-Point-Guard Bread
I want to get a couple things out of the way before getting to a brand new topic that I've never discussed here or anywhere. I'll give you a preview: it has something to do with point guards, this team not having any, and me lying in the second part of the preceding sentence.
First off, I dragged myself to the Timberwolves/Indiana game. Per usual, I will be the last to report this news: they lost. However, I finally get to base my reactions to the game on my eyeballs rather than a box score. I'm going to keep this brief:
- The past two preseason games, Jefferson had put up 18 points/12 rebounds, then 21 points/13 ball boards. On my other blog before coming here, I stated that these are numbers at or around what I want to see out of him consistently. However, last night he put up 27/17 and played an all-around outstanding game and that deserves recognition.
- I thought the Wolves looked good in the first half. A lot of missed shots, but they were smart, open-look attempts at least. Things got a little sloppy in the second half with less movement and shot-clock panic heaves.
- The effort on the boards, especially offensive boards, is going to be exponentially better this season than the last two.
- It's still tough to give an opinion on the team because of the injuries.
Notwithstanding my stance that there are no point guards on this team, two of the three players that either (a) claim that they are point guards, or (b) the organization tells us are point guards, did not play due to injuries.
There's my game wrap.
Now, back to it. You know where I'm going: it's that place to complain about point guards, it's after the jump, and you need to come with me. Please click "Read More".

It was impossible to make contact through any of the e-mail addresses and telephone numbers on the booking, despite trying several times. A week before we were due to stay (and after two weeks trying to make contact) she emailed us to say she has cancelled our booking (claiming flooding). She promised to refund our deposit but hasn't!

Nice place, with two huge beds. The owner is very nice. It has wifi and 1000 tv channels. The better characteristic is being just 100 meters from the bus and train station in city centre.

Really friendly staff. Big spacious room. Clean place. Good value for money and very close to the main station and the main square.They let us check-out late the next day as they had no booking - and this was really good for us as we had a bus in the evening. Drawbacks: The matresses were not so comfortable for our backs.

A PRESTIGIOUS award has lifted the profile of an already popular bar and restaurant in Port Macquarie.
Zebu Bar+Grill has been awarded single wine glass status for its wine list by respected publication
Australian Gourmet Traveller.
These awards are not handed out lightly, and bar manager Brent Tozer said he was "pleased as punch".
"I'm very happy ... it will be a bit more recognition for us," Mr Tozer said.
He said there had been a concerted effort to expand the wine list during the past six
months, which now features 140 wines.
"We have a lot more wine by the glass and a good across-the-board mix of white and red varieties.
"We also started a Museum list, with wines from 1990 to 1999."
These include a rare La Chapelle 1990 from the Rhone Valley, a Chateau Margaux from Bordeaux, and an Opus One from the Napa Valley in California.
Mr Tozer is quick to point out not all the wines offered at the bar and restaurant are "crazy
"It is important to still offer wines that are accessible to
everyone," he said.
Australian wines are not neglected, either. There is a selection from all the major vineyards
across the country, including Cassegrain Shiraz and Riesling.
The eatery and bar also has expanded its selection of Tyrell's Wines in anticipation of
a special event in October.
An Evening with Bruce Tyrell is an exclusive dinner featuring five courses balanced with five wines from the well-known Tyrell's Vineyards.
"Seating will be limited to 50 so that Bruce can go from table to table and discuss the wines
with patrons," Mr Tozer said.
Tickets are $95 per person for the intimate dinner in the Zebu room and can be reserved on
6589 2816 or at amanda firstname.lastname@example.com

Competitors argue the same fact pattern they argued in Tinelly. The Mollen Competition typically begins in late September and concludes in early October.

Reardon '54, the Reardon Compeition marks the culmination of the first year for new Moot Court Honor Society members who complete the Appellate Advocacy course in the fall and may compete in external competitions in the spring.

Finalists not only face an impressive panel of judges, including Mr. Reardon himself, but also argue in front of faculty members, prominent alumni, administrators and students in the Law School's Belson Moot Court Room. The Reardon Competition takes place from late March to early April.

Vin Diesel (born Mark Sinclair Vincent; July 18, 1967) is an American actor, writer, director and producer. He became known in the early 2000s, appearing in several successful Hollywood films, including The Fast and the Furious and xXx. He founded the production companies One Race Films, Tigon Studios and Racetrack Records.
Contents |
Vin Diesel was born in New York City, the son of Delora, a psychiatrist and astrologer.[1][2] Diesel has white and black ancestry.[3][4] He has described himself as "definitely a person of color"[5] and stated that he is "of ambiguous ethnicity – Italian and a lot of other stuff."[6] Diesel has never met his biological father, and was raised by his African-American stepfather, Irving, an acting instructor and theatre manager.[1][5] He made his stage debut at age seven when he appeared in the children's play Dinosaur Door, written by Barbara Garson. The play was produced at Theater for the New City in New York's Greenwich Village. His involvement in the play came about when he, his brother, and some friends had broken into Theater for the New City's space on Jane Street with the intent to vandalize it. They were confronted by the theater's artistic director, Crystal Field, who, instead of calling the police, handed them scripts and offered them parts in the upcoming show.[7] He remained involved with the theatre throughout adolescence, going on to attend the city's Hunter College, where his creative writing studies led him to begin screenwriting. Diesel became an active film-maker in the early 1990s, first earning notice for the short film Multi-Facial, which was selected for screening at the 1995 Cannes Festival. Diesel has identified himself as a "multi-faceted" actor[8] as a result of early difficulties finding roles due to his mixed heritage.[8][9]
In an interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, he said that he changed his name to "Vin Diesel" while working as a bouncer at the New York City nightclub Tunnel, because in that business one's real name is not usually given out. The name "Vin" is simply a shortened version of "Vincent". He received the nickname "Diesel" from his friends who said he ran off diesel fuel, referring to his non-stop energy.
He has a twin brother, Paul, a younger brother, Tim, and a sister, Samantha.[citation needed]

Diesel's first film role was a brief uncredited appearance in the 1990 film Awakenings. He then produced, directed, and starred in the 1994 short film Multi-Facial, a short semi-autobiographical film which follows a struggling actor stuck in the audition process, because he is regarded as either "too black" or "too white", or not black or white enough. He made his first feature-length film, 1997's Strays, an urban drama in which he was self-cast as a gang boss whose love for a woman inspires him to try to change his ways. Written, directed and produced by Diesel, the film was selected for competition at the 1997 Sundance Festival, leading to an MTV deal to turn it into a series.
He was then cast in Steven Spielberg's 1998 Oscar-winning film Saving Private Ryan on the poignancy of his performance in Multi-Facial. In 1999 he earned critical acclaim for his voice work as the title character in the animation film The Iron Giant. He followed it up with a major role in the business drama Boiler Room (2000) and then got his breakthrough role as the anti-hero Riddick in the science-fiction film Pitch Black (2000). He attained action hero super stardom with the box office hits, the street racing action film The Fast and the Furious (2001), starring opposite Paul Walker, and the action thriller xXx (2002).
In 2004, he reprised his role as Pitch Black's Riddick in The Chronicles of Riddick which was a box office failure considering the large budget. In 2005 he played a lighthearted role in the comedy film The Pacifier, which became a box office success. In 2006 he chose a dramatic role playing real-life mobster Jack DiNorscio in Find Me Guilty. Although he received critical acclaim for his performance, the film did poorly at the box office. Later that year he made a cameo appearance in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, reprising his role from The Fast and The Furious. Diesel was originally offered the lead in 2 Fast 2 Furious but turned it down. He was also offered the chance to reprise his role from xXx in xXx: State of the Union but turned it down as well.
In 2007, he was set to produce and star as Agent 47 in the film adaptation of the video game Hitman, but eventually pulled back and served as executive producer on the film instead. In 2008 he starred in the science-fiction action thriller Babylon A.D..
He returned to the The Fast and The Furious series, alongside all the actors from the original 2001 film, in Fast & Furious, which released in April 2009. In 2011, he once again returned, for the fifth film in the series, titled Fast Five. He is is currently filming the third installment in the Riddick series titled The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking which is in post-production as of April 2012 and set for release in 2013.
Diesel is noted for his recognizable deep voice; he has said that his voice broke at around age 15, giving him a mature sounding voice on the telephone.[10]
Around 2001, Diesel dated his The Fast and the Furious co-star, Michelle Rodriguez.[11]
Diesel has expressed his love for the Dominican Republic, and how he relates to its multicultural facets.[12] He is also acquainted with President Leonel Fernandez, and has since appeared in one of his earlier campaign ads. Los Bandoleros, a short film directed by Diesel, was also filmed in the Dominican Republic.[13]
Diesel claims that he prefers dating in Europe, where he is less likely to be recognized and where celebrities are not romantically linked to each other. He prefers to maintain his privacy regarding his personal life:[14]
" | I'm not gonna put it out there on a magazine cover like some other actors. I come from the Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino code of silence. | " |
Diesel has played Dungeons & Dragons for over twenty years[15] and wrote the foreword for the commemorative book 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons. In the 30th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons issue of Dragon Magazine, they examine the fact that Diesel played Dungeons & Dragons, and reveal that he had a fake tattoo of his character's name, "Melkor," on his stomach while filming xXx.
Diesel has a daughter, Hania Riley, born April 2, 2008, with his girlfriend, model Paloma Jimenez.[16][17] Speaking to An tEolas, an Irish newspaper, Diesel stated he has been seen as a hard man, but is in touch with his soft side as a father.[18]

What draws us to the sea? The pull is undeniable. It's as strong as the undertow and as constant as the changing tide. The tumbling waves of the National Seashore of Cape Cod provided me with robust evidence of the attraction as we returned for our annual summer vacation.
One afternoon at Nauset Light beach in Eastham I looked up from my beach reading to notice a boy too young to walk, but not too old to feel the magnetic power of the sea. At low tide the surf had retreated enough to provide him a flat runway to his first taste of salt water. His parents shuffled close behind as he crawled his way toward the rumbling water.
As he got close enough to feel the chill of the 60 degree New England waters, his father would pick him up and bring him back to safe ground. The boy would smile. His father would lend a hand as he toddled on his feet. As soon as he was again on his own he would mobilize and return directly to the ocean.
A few miles away in the Town of Orleans Nauset Beach played host to a packed Independence week crowd. A healthy walk down the shoreline would inevitably lead to a sighting of seals. The seals were more than a marvel for beachgoers. They served as an appetizing sight for Great White sharks lurking off the shore.
The intrigue and danger of the star of the 1976 film "Jaws" made for great conversation under beach umbrellas. Until the shark was spotted drawing close enough to shore to force an evacuation. Yet, later in the day people had returned to the beach looking in the water for a glimpse of that tail fin. They may have feared becoming feed for the Great White, but they also felt compelled to take a look.
The sea offers the hope of the wide open unknown, a limitless future. That soon to be toddler feels an internal attraction that appears stronger than any warnings his parents might impose. It also carries a sense of mystery and danger, the wonder that comes about what's underneath the surface.
The best way to seek understanding of the allure of the ocean – listen to the waves striking the shore. Over and over and over. They will continue to roll longer than we can imagine, an endless opportunity for discovery.

There is another mythtv add-on that is under more active development, see this thread:
vskatusa; Wrote:Is this planned to be included in the EDEN release?
Support for PVR backends in the upstream has been postponed until after the Eden release as far as I know. First dushmaniac's PVR branch (which contains all the generic PVR support) at:
needs to be integrated into upstream.
Once that is done, then individual PVR client add-ons (like tsp42's MythTV add-on described in http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=110694 ) will need to be pushed upstream before it appears in the default built. That said, I believe dushmaniac and tsp make regular binary snapshots available for installation (at least for Windows). In the case of tsp's branch, for Linux and MacOS X, you'll probably need to build from source yourself for the time being.
