izzas and flat breads were a mix of vegetarian and something with meat. Some of these are also suitable for dipping into soup. A small handful of breads were also available here for going with your salad or soup.
And the kids favourite section – the soft-serve ice-cream machine – vanilla, swirl and chocolate. Chocolate and caramel sauce plus sprinkles, crumbled Oreo cookies and so on. While the kids weren’t impressed with the buffet itself, this section rated 10/10.
Just in case soft-serve isn’t your thing, on the day we visited, there were also chocolate chip muffins and a hot dessert of apple and blueberry crumble. There is also a handful of other items, whole apples, orange segments, cottage cheese, tapioca pudding and no-sugar added chocolate mousse.
If you are getting a drink with your meal, there is tea, coffee, milk, soft drinks and maybe iced tea (or juice?). Can’t say I took too much notice, I was hydrating with my free water.
So if you are vegetarian or gluten-free visiting the USA, I highly recommend Sweet Tomatoes. Make sure you check your receipt too, we got a 15% off coupon for completing a survey, thats not to be sniffed at.
Too much vegetarian stuff for me! I would prefer Denny’s!
We are vegetarian, Denny’s offers very little for us.Meeting your team members at a charming Viennese coffeehouse may be fun at the beginning but at some point, you’ll know you need an office space that is affordable and even better – not a basement. You might want to take a look at StockWerk, Vienna’s newest coworking space in walking distance from Westbahnhof.
What used to be a factory is – as of half a month ago – a coworking space over four levels with 65 workstations. After a research trip to Berlin, Alexander Salzmann and his two co-founders were baffled when finding out that Germany’s capital has more than 120 coworking spaces. “It reassured us that there is room for another coworking space [in Vienna] that meets the needs of entrepreneurs,” Salzmann told inventures.eu. “Variety hasn’t harmed any branch yet.”
One of the needs StockWerk addresses is precisely diversity. Whether you’re in a startup, work in graphic design, advertising, PR or science, StockWerk claims to be an open house for everyone. “We consciously made the decision not to focus on a [certain] scene as we believe that synergies take place where all kinds of entrepreneurs come together.”
Plug & Play
StockWerk offers several possibilities, or “plug&play offers”. “It doesn’t matter whether you want to work here for a day or three years,” Salzmann said.
If you’re looking for a space to work at every now and then, check out flexdesks, available for 170 euros a month, including free wifi, printer and kitchen use. And if you’d rather have your own desk, you can rent a fixdesk for 240 euros. There are two office rooms for small teams on the third floor in case you want to work in between your own four walls. The coworking space is open from 9 to 5 but you can also buy the 24/7 extra for 60 euros. Most importantly, there’s a coffee machine.
“Our plan is to turn the ground floor into a room specifically for workshops to offer another possibility to network and expand the creative environment,” said Salzmann. He is also in discussion with several possible partners. “Our goal is to be a lively place where people like to work and exchange ideas.”
StockWerk offers free trial days so you can make sure it’s the right place for you. Now, go (net)work!Hi Y'all. Just want to say its a pleasure to be able to ask those who know... have I lost my ever lovin mind? I am 67 and this is my first and only bucket list item. I want to live the rest of my life on the sea in my boat. Old woman and the sea, right? I know I waited a long time to find the courage, but I am a tough old bird. With God holding my pinkie, and a little help from some new friends, I think I can do it. Now to the how - sail trawl or cat around... What do you think? I am new at this board and posting stuff so apologies in advance. I am excited.
Welcome aboard. There are a number of 60+ year old women living aboard. Myself included.
As to type of boat. A sailboat will in my mind, anyway be less expensive to operate. Smaller engines, cost less to maintain. My 34' sailboat gets 10-12 mpg on a good day. That is very good. A twin engine powerboat has far more room, but fuel mileage is 1.5 ish mpg. A cat has lots of room, but two engines and even slips cost more, in many places due to width.
If your planning to mainly stay in marina's with a few anchor outs, a trawler will give more space. A sailboat is pretty tight space wise, though I love my little boat.

How perfect that the declarations came at Radio City Music Hall, because this was pure theater.
Carmelo Anthony said last Thursday while the current U.S. roster scrimmaged at the New York landmark that he wants to be on the next U.S. roster and Chris Paul committed the same night to likewise returning to the Team USA fold for the London Olympics, and we can certainly believe the dedication.
Unless...
Unless, just maybe, such statements have been proven meaningless these last few weeks and especially these last few days, as the Americans held a mini-camp in Las Vegas and worked out and played exhibitions in Manhattan and jetted to Europe for a few more exhibitions before the world championships begin Aug. 28 in Turkey with a grand total of zero returnees from the 2008 team that won Olympic gold.
You know, the same 2008 team that wrapped itself in the flag in Beijing and seemed giddy about the chance to re-establish basketball dominance for USA Basketball and -- wait for it -- practically pulled a collective hammy in the rush to commit themselves for another ride. Jerry Colangelo, the managing director then and now, said four or five members of the 12-man roster in China quickly told him in the post-gold glow that they wanted to play for the U.S. again, then others gave Colangelo the same message at All-Star weekend 2009.
It was the hangover talking.
The 2008 roster: Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Paul, Tayshaun Prince, Michael Redd, Dwyane Wade, Deron Williams.
The 2010 roster, after all: Chauncey Billups, Tyson Chandler, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Rudy Gay, Eric Gordon, Danny Granger, Andre Igoudala, Kevin Love, Lamar Odom, Rajon Rondo, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, with one more cut due by Aug. 26.
So much for lasting commitments. There were surely injury issues for some, including Paul and his knee and Bryant with various problems that haunted him through a chunk of the playoffs. And there is always an age-related turnover, in this case with Kidd and Redd (who is hurt anyway).
But everybody?
That's an awful lot of guys who needed to clean their sock drawer this summer.
Anthony said as recently as 11 months ago that he was in, telling AOL FanHouse that the majority of the team from Beijing '08 would "most likely" be in Turkey, that he expected James to play at the world championships, and that "Everybody wanted to see if everybody wanted to come back, so, once that was established, it was easy." But Anthony's summer 2010 got too busy because of his July 10 marriage, others had a crazy few months because of free agency that lasted a few weeks, and things just came up.
It's not just the United States. The bottom has dropped out of the world championships on a lot of fronts. Pau Gasol declined to play for Spain, the biggest threat to dethrone Team USA. Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman decided against reprising Beijing roles with Germany, and other stars are sitting out because of injury or just because. No other group of players boasted so proudly, though, of reclaiming a special place on the victory stand at the 2008 Games and pledging to keep the forward momentum going.
Maybe some vacationers will fall back on semantics -- the commitment was for the Olympics, not the world championships. And London '12 will almost certainly attract more stars, because the Summer Games are much bigger in the United States, because there will be a lot more pressure from sponsors to be on that global stage, and because travel to England doesn't sound as formidable as Turkey.
A lot of the mega-stars should be back for the next Olympics, along with the new ones that emerge in the meantime as everyone gets to watch whether Colangelo really means it when he says dedication to the program will play a role in determining the London roster. Anthony will be there. For sure. No question.
"Of course," he said in an interview with the Associated Press at the Radio City event last week. "I'm locked
