Apart from proper advance planning and effective line-management, The River Fund Mobile Pantry Model involves (1) a frontend client choice area consisting of manned tables, (2) a backend resupply area to ensure the frontend does not run out of any product, and (3) efficient garbage removal, so that everything stays neat and tidy—and worthy of a food operation.
According to Tom, this is how a Guinness glass should look if it's been consumed properly...4 or 6 gulps with the suds remaining all the way down the side of the glass. However, he's like 6'5" and has probably twice the practice. :)
I heard Anthony Bourdain describe Guinness as the finest alcoholic beverage on the face of the earth last night. I think I have to agree.

Sint-Niklaas is a Belgian city and municipality located in the Flemish province of East Flanders. The municipality comprises the city of Sint-Niklaas proper and the towns of Belsele, Nieuwkerken-Waas, and Sinaai.
Sint-Niklaas is the capital and major city of the Waasland region straddling the East Flanders and Antwerp provinces. The city is known for having the largest market square in Belgium.
Thirteenth-century origins
Although some traces of pre-Roman activity have been found on the territory of Sint-Niklaas, the regional centre during Roman times was neighbouring Waasmunster, better located on the river Durme. Belsele was already mentioned in a 9th century document. The history of Sint-Niklaas proper, however, starts in 1217, when the bishop of Tournai, following advice from the local clergy, founded a church to Saint Nicholas here. The new parish was to depend on the See of Tournai until the middle of the 16th century. Politically, however, it was part of the County of Flanders. The power of Flanders at that time favoured the quick economic development of the city, which became the administrative centre of the region in 1241. A document dated from 1248 records that Margaret II, Countess of Flanders, ceded additional territory to the parish of Sint-Niklaas with the proviso that it would remain bare, which explains the unusual size of the central market square today.
Dutch

Ontstaan
Hoewel er sporen van voor-Romeinse activiteiten gevonden zijn op het grondgebied van het huidige Sint-Niklaas, lag het regionale centrum in de Romeinse tijd in het nabijgelegen Waasmunster, vermoedelijk vanwege de betere ligging aan de rivier de Durme. De geschiedenis van Sint-Niklaas begint pas in 1217, wanneer de bisschop van Doornik, op advies van lokale geestelijken, een kerk opricht voor de heilige Nicolaas van Myra. De nieuwe parochie was tot medio 16e eeuw ook afhankelijk van het bisdom Doornik. Politiek gezien was het echter onderdeel van het Graafschap Vlaanderen. De macht van dat graafschap resulteerde in een snelle economische groei van de stad. In 1241 werd Sint-Niklaas tot administratief centrum van de streek gepromoveerd. Een document van 1248 beschrijft dat Margaretha II van Vlaanderen zes bunders grond ten westen van de kerk aan Sint-Niklaas toevoegde met als voorwaarde dat die voor altijd onverdeeld en onbebouwd moesten blijven. Deze voorwaarde verklaart de ongewone omvang van het marktplein vandaag.

Das origens ao século XIII
Se bem que tenham sido achados vestígios pré-romanos na área do a(c)tual território do município de Sint-Niklaas, o certo é que centro regional durante a época romana era a vizinha Waasmunster, localizada nas margens do rio Durme. A vila de Belsele já vem mencionada num documento do século IX. A história de Sint-Niklaas propriamente dita iniciou-se em 1217, quando o bispo de Tournai, seguindo o conselho do clero local fundou uma igreja a Saint Nicholas aqui. A nova paróquia esteve na dependência da diocese de Tournai até meados do século XVI. Politicamente, todavia, era parte do condado da Flandres. O poder da Flandres naquela época favoreceu o desenvolvimento económico da cidade, que tornou-se o centro administrativo da região em 1241. Um documento datado de 1248 indica-nos que Margarida II, condessa da Flandres, cedeu território adicional à paróquia de Sint-Niklaas, com a cláusula que deveria manter-se vazia, o que explica o pouco usual tamanho da praça central do mercado.
At the end of the summer in which my husband returned from his deployment, his grandfather passed away from an aggressive brain tumor. It was his grandmother's wish that both he & his cousin (who is also an OIF/OEF veteran) both be pallbearers in their full Class A Dress Uniforms. It was only fitting, as their grandfather was a WWII veteran himself. More than 3 from the same blood family, they are 3 brothers in the same family of honor.
