QUEBEC CITY -- What was he thinking?
There will be all sorts of controversy in Sweden today with coach Bengt-Ake Gustafsson's decision to go with his third-stringer in goal for the bronze-medal game here yesterday.
"We thought he would be up for the challenge," Gustafsson said.
Stafan Liv -- which rhymes with sieve -- was considerably less than up for the challenge as Finland won 4-0 in a game not incidental in either country. Liv made only nine saves in the game while Niklas Backstrom at the other end turned aside 36 for his second shutout of the world hockey championship.
"I think goaltending was the difference," Finland captain Ville Peltonen said. "We weren't all that much better but Niklas Backstrom was very much better. They had their chances and outshot us badly."
Antti Pihlsrom scored two of the goals for the Finns, who garnered a third consecutive medal at this tourney, with Janne Niskala and Mikko Koivu adding the others.
"A medal is always a medal," said Saku Koivu. "A lot of people back home were watching. It's a big tournament back home and it's always big against the Swedes."
The Swedes beat the Finns in the final of the world championship in 1992 and '98 and did likewise in the gold medal game of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, as well.
Teemu Selanne, meanwhile, announce that he had just played his last international game for Finland.
"I knew before the tournament that this would be my last time with the national team," the winger said.
"It was great to end my career for Finland with a win. We came for gold and it is only a bronze, but the last game was a win. I am so proud and so grateful for all my experiences playing for my country. It made me a better player.
"When I was 17, if you had told me I was going to experience all of this, I would have asked you what you were smoking."
Selanne said his decision returning to the Anaheim Ducks for another year will be made before July 1.

Prescription Drug Take Back Day scheduled
KATHY KUNKEL/TIMES NEWS Tamaqua Patrolman Michael Hobbs prepares for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, which will be held this Saturday, April 27.Anyone with old or unused prescription drugs may take them to the Tamaqua Police Station, rear 320 E. Broad St., Tamaqua, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. for proper disposal.
Got old, unused drugs? Then the Tamaqua Police Department is your place to be this Saturday as part of the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Initiative.
The initiative was first held on Sept. 25, 2010, created by the Drug Enforcement Administration in an effort to prevent medication abuse and rid homes of unwanted and unnecessary prescription drugs. With collections taking place twice a year, more than 2 million pounds of prescription medication have been removed from circulation.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that enough pharmaceuticals are prescribed to medicate every American adult, around the clock, for one month. The 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that the majority of teens who abuse prescription drugs obtain those drugs from family members or friends, including stealing them from the home medicine cabinet.
The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day provides a safe, convenient method of disposal of old, unused drugs, while also educating the public about the potential for drug abuse and the hazards associated with improper disposal of drugs. This includes dangers to the environment when drugs are flushed down the toilet or thrown in landfills.
Tamaqua Police will be collecting old, unused drugs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., this Saturday, April 27. The location site is at the rear of 320 E. Broad St., Tamaqua.

Doctors have always preferred the normal way, firstly because it is natural way of birth, secondly, has no health effects and thirdly as it needs no after birth medication which is harmful for the mothers health. Most of the time the reason for Cesarean delivery is improper health. To avoid cesarean delivery, a woman needs both muscle and cardiovascular strength. Both of which is possible only through exercise.
Exercise For Normal Delivery –
1. Walking – Walking all throughout the period of pregnancy is the best exercise for normal delivery. It not only makes the muscles flexible, prevents other illnesses like blood pressure, constipation and restlessness. Some of these illnesses also hinder the delivery.
2. Kegels – Kegels is the best exercise for normal delivery. This exercise is to contract the muscles of the vaginal area and ten letting it loose after few seconds. Do 10 kegels. This will strengthen the muscles around your vagina, uterus, bladder and rectum. Kegels can make labor smooth and also help in recovering soon.
3. Cardiovascular Exercise – With low cardiovascular health, the mother may not be able to handle the delivery pressure thus, opting for cesarean birth. Cardiovascular exercises for normal delivery include swimming, aqua exercises etc.
These three exercises should be done under moderate speed and with complete care. Over exertion might hamper the baby. Under doctors advice perform these three exercises for normal delivery for better health of both mother and child.

The last time we looked in on the forgotten adventures of Matter Eater Lad, Senator Tenzil (Matter-Eater Lad) Kem had successfully and zanily defended Brek (Polar Boy) Bannin from trumped-up Earthgov charges and the two fled Earth before anyone could figure out how they'd been tricked:
Scene from LofSH #13
Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 4) # 14 finds the two former Legionnaires and Calorie Queen in the Tartarus Sector, staying at the Ranchito Mobile Lodge, when two masked gunmen bearing the symbol of Evillo come to abduct them. If "Evillo" and "the Tartarus Sector" sound like bad news, then you may remember Evillo from Adventure Comics #350 and 351, where he led the Devil's Dozen (actually the devil's five, if you want to include Evillo himself) against the Legion of Super Heroes. When he became angry at Sugyn, one of his Dozen, he demonstrated his ability to send enemies to the Realm of Darkness:
Since this early defeat, Evillo has had a couple of teenage daughters who want to meet a real Legionnaire. Learning he has the famous Matter Eater Lad in his sector, Evillo knowingly risks U.P. sanctions to please his girls. The prince of Tartarus can't say no to his little girls. "Oh for the days when I could satisfy my daughters with an actor wearing a plastic duck head!"
Brek?!? Yes, the girls actually want to meet Polar Boy. This gives Tenzil time to wander around and look for trouble. He meets Saturn Queen in the garden, where he learns that she's just the latest of Evillo's many wives. All of whom end up meeting grisly fates. The Senator turns up the charm, and things look like they might get interesting, when suddenly, they hear a scream from Calorie Queen:
Well, as we saw earlier, it's never good when Evillo "gets horny". next thing he knows, our pal Matter-Eater Lad is engulfed in brimstone and heat:
Tenzil then gets a tour of the Realm of Darkness, as jolly a place as you might expect from the colorful name:
But that's when he sees Erma, the gray haired crone coming off the stairs. Her face has been roasted off for defying the Shackles of Agony, and so he bides his time. His guide leads him on to his permanent work station, at the Bags of Eternity, a gigantic set of infernal bagpipes manned by rows and rows of the huffing, puffing damned. Tenzil is placed at his station, where he hears a familiar voice:
That's right, it's Sugyn, the Volstagg-esque windbag who Evillo banished so long ago! Er, in the future that is. Whoever designed the Shaclkles of Agony didn't figure on the mighty mastication of Matter-Eater Lad, who eats his way out and makes a desperate bid for freedom, with Sugyn in tow:
The clever gambit pays off as Kem and his husky companion are whisked back to reality and white page gutters:
While the dead rain down on Tartarus, Polar Boy decides to stay behind to train Evillo's daughters in the use of their inherited powers. Evillo tries to be menacing, but finds he has his hands full with the return of several undead wives. Tenzil finds that the government of Bismoll has used his brief death to declare his Senate seat vacant, replacing him with Calorie Queen. That's fine with Tenzil, who sets course to Winath join the rest of the Legion at the end of the story.
While Polar boy would leave the series for awhile, this issue led to Matter-Eater Lad returning to the Legion full-time. This issue was a riot, and was also drawn in its entirety by Keith Giffen, making it one of my favorite issues of this run.

Good Points
We Stayed in the Chalet Waskkooli, Saariselka (6 adults, 4 children) on Esprit's 3 day, 2 night package 30 Nov - 2 Dec 2007. The whole experience was absolutely brilliant, all the Esprit reps were friendly, happy and always encouraging the children to fully enjoy the activities available. Our chalet host did us proud, she admitted she was nervous, but did a fab job on keeping us well fed, fully informed and also managed to ensure there was plenty of wine in the fridge! The clothes supplied by the company were fully up to the job of keeping us warm and the activities planned kept the 3 seven and 1 eight year old fully occupied for the whole time.
Bad Points
Only one slight gripe, the check in on the return journey took nearly two hours, only two check in desks open and all the coaches arrived at the same time. The check in system was manual so complete carnage in the departure area! If its always that slow at least stagger the arrival of the coaches over a 90 minute period!
General Comments
I would thoroughly recommend this once in a lifetime trip for any family and if you can get 8-10 of you together, the Waskooli chalet should be high on your potential places to stay. Well done Esprit.

The good news: asparagus is here early, thanks to our mild spring. The bad news: it will probably run out early too. It is not hard to get your hands on some kind of asparagus at any time of the year, but forced, grown-under-glass, imported-by-air, bottled or tinned asparagus are all poor relations. Wild asparagus is good when you can find it (I've seen it in Kent, but it is more common on the Continent); if you get your hands on some, toss the thin sprigs on to fried eggs in the Sicilian style.
But the real, British-grown thing is unmistakable: sturdy, slightly purply stems with tight closed heads. We have two months — perhaps less — to make the most of it, and here's how.
There seems to be quite a lot of nonsense about cooking asparagus: I've seen odd contraptions calling themselves asparagus boilers and specially designed steamers. The point is that asparagus is a tender and delicate vegetable which suffers badly when overcooked: it demands gentle treatment. All you really need is a wide, shallow pan. I often go for a frying pan with well-seasoned boiling water. It's easy to fish the asparagus out with tongs or a slotted spoon, and that way you are unlikely to break the beautiful tips, which would be a tragedy. I want my asparagus to be just right: not at all al dente, but not mushy either.
Boil the first bunch you come across this way and serve simply with good melted butter. Then you can start to indulge yourself. Every year I think up more uses for the wonderful spears, from the simple thoran I often make with thinly sliced asparagus, curry leaves and a little grated coconut to pilaf, risotto and pasta dishes.
Asparagus is good in a pasta, whether cut into long thin slices and mixed with a cheese sauce and tagliatelle, or finely chopped as in this recipe. You could choose a different pasta for this sauce but the farfalle really seem to work, they hold the sauce well and retain a good al dente bite in the centre. Garganelli would also be good but are harder to find: common or garden penne would be fine.
There are many fine sauces suited to asparagus, from simple anchovy butter and chopped egg to more exotic creations. The red wine sauce here is my favourite because it brings out the grown-up side of this gorgeous vegetable. I'm an anchovy lover so I'm biased, but if you are sceptical don't be deterred: think of the anchovies as a deep, sophisticated salty note: not at all fishy, just really, really delicious.

PAX 10 Winner The Amazing Brain Train! to arrive on WiiWare Jan. 18

PAX 10 Winner The Amazing Brain Train! to arrive on WiiWare Jan. 18
NinjaBee brings Grubby Games star Professor Fizzwizzle to new platform
Professor Fizzwizzle, the diminutive genius and star of the 2008 PAX 10 award-winning PC title, The Amazing Brain Train!, will make his debut in a new destination, Nintendo WiiWare, the Wii system's downloadable service, on Monday Jan. 18, 2010. Players will be able to hop on board and begin their own brain-boositng adventure for only 600 Wii Points (USD $6).
The new WiiWare title takes players on a mind-sharpening journey around Professor Fizzwizzle's cartoon world stopping only to solve challenges and help his friends along the way. Fueled only by mental energy, The Amazing Brain Train! guides the player through 15 different mini-games in three addictive game play modes—quest, test and practice.
"This is one of the few brain training games that has a quest/story mode," said Joey Kendall, Lead Programmer at NinjaBee. "It adds new goals and more purpose to the mini-games. The story is silly but it's kind of like watching a Disney movie – it's cute but there's a lot of humor in there that only an adult would understand. It adds great comic relief."
More than a year of work has been put into fine-tuning The Amazing Brain Train! and adapting it for the Wii. The result is a fun, ultra-challenging and addictive brain training game that is unlike any other in the WiiWare library.
"This is no ordinary brain game," said Ryan Clark, co-founder of Grubby Games. "The Amazing Brain Train! contains features never before seen in the genre. It's a departure from the minimalist brain games we've seen in the past. You can forget about goal-less gameplay: The Amazing Brain Train! is packed with quests, trophies and high scores that add an aspect of gameplay that other brain games just don't have."
The game includes 32 unlockable trophies, 16 categories of high score competition, unlockable tracks and quests, plus a test mode that grades your brain power and tells you just how far your mental juice can carry you.
"The game does a really good job of rewarding you for doing well," Kendall said. "It kind of triggers that 'achievement mentality.' You get a couple trophies and find yourself saying, 'I've got to get all of those.'"
The Amazing Brain Train! was originally released for PC, Mac and Linux in May of 2008 and in July of that year, the game was selected out of hundreds of entries as one of 10 games to be featured at the Penny Arcade Expo.

"Found on a remote part of the beach" stated her intake report. "Golden Retriever, young, malnourished, stray" it continued. Unlike most of the other dogs in the cement and cyclone cages, her restrained behavior—analytical, you might say—was un-Golden-like in her observation of us. Golden Retrievers are known and valued for their unabashed love of people. This dog, however, seemed resigned to her fate, whatever it might be.
Experts advise to lead with your head and not with your heart. So, noting her reservation, we walked away from her run to look at the other dogs up for adoption. Australian Shepherds, Dalmatians, Labradors, Pit Bulls, other Golden Retrievers, Mastiffs, mixed breeds, Poodles—take your pick. Anyone who has ever walked along a row of public shelter kennels does not need to be reminded of the overpopulated, overburdened, understaffed and underfunded public facility's ever-present, unspoken take-one-home-now pressure.
After looking at the other shelter dogs for awhile, we decided we could not leave the observant young adult Golden Retriever there to experience what was clearly written down on her cage card for later that same night. We filled out a release form, paid the fee and put her in our car. No adoption counselors, cheery notes, overstuffed information folders about our "new family member," dog food samples, not even a collar, just a quick wave and smiles from a busy staff member and volunteers as we walked out the door with this dog who had been in the building for a few weeks.
Feelings get mixed up when adopting an animal from a public shelter. Other dogs bark and cry as you walk out the door. Thoughts reverberate in one's brain "at least this one is getting out." Yet, those left behind, many beautiful, loving dogs with heart and soul, through no fault of their own, will not leave a shelter walking out on their own happy paws. We know it and we cannot help but feel it.
In a short time, we discovered this dog was not particularly fond of any other canines. In our family's pack hierarchy, she deferred to her humans but demonstrated alpha female qualities to our other dogs, which were never to be questioned again.
Our dog-sitter, an award-winning trainer and German Shepherd aficionado remarked once, "She doesn't know she's a Golden Retriever. She thinks way too much like a Shepherd." But, with a now glossy reddish coat, honey-hued feathers, deep brown eyes and a plumed platinum tail, one would never wonder about her breed. However, out on walks, never changing a step or making a sound, she made certain other dogs avoided her. Imagine an off-leash, big, lumbering dog running toward a typical-looking Golden Retriever only to slide to a complete stop before some unseen barrier, keeping a respectful distance to let this leashed blonde beauty walk by undeterred. Each time, some otherworldly, light-speed correspondence traveled between her and all approaching canines to stay away, which we respected while never once quite figuring out her hidden methods.
Cats, however, were another story altogether. She couldn't get enough of them, her own cats, the neighborhood strays, or foster kittens. With all of them, she made herself small, which she did with no other creature of any kind. Sickly kittens were nestled into her paws to spend naptime against her chest, safe and secure, while she watched over them. A maternal joy in the presence of every rescued feline stayed with her for her entire spayed life.
One cat in particular captured her heart, completely. It worked both ways, as canines were his preferred companions. He had come to live with us after a family friend's sudden death. Out of respect for this man, we adopted his beloved cat. People who live with both cats and dogs understand the potential for an interspecies friendship. Every single day for years and years, these two animals were crazy about each other.
Their romance transcended our family. In their middle years, a picture taken of them in our garden was chosen and published in a national calendar.
Together, they grew old. Watching over the household activity, taking it all in stride, she never lost her regal bearing. He, resting up against her, kneaded her quilt and pillow or whatever he might find next to her. As he aged, his overt affection for her was drenched in unending purrs and droplets of drool. But, as stories do, theirs was coming to an end.
Shortly after she died, her devoted cat had a stroke from which he did not recover. Now, their ashes ensconced in shiny cedar boxes sit together on a shelf behind a small armoire's glass doors. Their story, however, is not finished after all. Not really.
And, for us, finding out about the picture of Rosie Marie and Albert Joseph, which helps to raise funds for an animal shelter and honor those individuals who touch our lives, well, what can we say but theirs has become a never-ending, timeless story of love, family and friendship.

Memories of a great dog
Posted by
At the farmer's market, a dog—the same sort of big black dog with a massive head and handsome gray goatee as you—sat proudly on the front seat of a new truck. We locked eyes. Just for a second my heart jumped because, well, I had a quick fantasy: I was seeing you again. For a moment, I allowed myself to feel how much I miss you every single day. Memories hold me hostage, too often mixed with sadness and pain and so many other things. I look forward to the days where every thought of you will bring a smile but they are not here yet. For now, I am still teary-eyed and heartsick.
Years ago, your shelter card mentioned you chewed up a couch. Well, yeah, you were an oversized young dog stuck in the house for 10-12 hours every single day. In the same circumstance, I'd eat a couch. Then again, with Labrador Retriever and hunting Hound blood surging through your veins, attempting to eat inanimate objects or questionable cuisine was to be a lifelong sporting event with you: Find it; eat it; do not get caught!
The boy, at first, was nose to nose with you. As his chubby finger touched your long pink tongue, your thick tail thwacked the wall. The two of you bonded on the spot. "He's my little brother," was our son's decision, "And, he's Benbow." Love at first slobber from both sides was how it looked to us, how it remained, and how we wanted it to stay forever.
When I read My Dog Skip and Dog Years, the grief of parting was so very far away from us, right? You had so much time to play with your boy, hike with us in the mountains, swim in alpine lakes, take walks, sleep by the woodstove, to grow, to enjoy one another.
Even though you became an XXL dog and a powerful swimmer, we aren't sorry we made you wear the neon-colored canine life vest every single time we were out in the kayak and canoe. It was too bad when you bellowed at other dogs, chasing the interlopers up over the lake's small island, only to be greeted with roars of friendly laughter on the other shore.
A fun-loving, gregarious, always up for the next adventure dog-dude, you never went on a road trip or met a person you didn't like. Even when old age settled in your gut after years of sampling foul loot, a glance in your direction or a slow walk around the block to see your neighbor-friends was met with a sparkle in your eyes and a Lab-Hound smile on your face.
Then, much too fast, it happened: Our time together was up. Things were moving along just fine and then they were not. We rushed you to the veterinarian's office. Sitting on the shiny floor of Exam Room 2, we held your big head and your tail in our laps. Busy office noises faded away. Thirteen years and now here we were hoping, waiting, knowing. The veterinarian sat on the floor with us. Quietly, he talked about his father's late dog and his father's death. For a brief moment, you opened your eyes to watch him, listening. Then, in one breath, you were gone from us.
Later, one of the neighbors asked for an update on how you were doing and I told her you were gone. With tears in her eyes, she asked if we, and our son who left for college 2 years before, were okay. In my mind's eye, I saw the trip we took three short months earlier to see our 6' 4" son in college, taking you with us. When you saw your boy walking toward you, your ageless tail thumped against the seat of the car; you tilted your head back and a hoarse hound bark greeting filled the air. "Well," I tried to tell her, "You know, losing Benbow is a huge change for our family. And, his death officially closes the book on our son's childhood."
When someone asked my husband about Benbow, he told them, "All dogs are good dogs and some dogs are great. Benbow was a great dog." He's right, of course. Our son's Benbow River Otter Molly Lincoln Tyriffian Humboldt Bear Shelter Dog is and always will be a great one.

aw, fucking hell! magnificent. er, what channel would that be? :)
missed this thread first time round ... anyway, "Panning shot through burned out house w/echoing voices of frightened children. Thus proving that giving matches to the very young is not a good idea" chilled me to the fucking bones when i was a kid, and i'm really quite glad that, when i clicked to watch it there, it had been "removed due to terms-of-use violation". whew.
i have a lengthy DVD of PIFs, and also -- yes -- "protect and survive" on VHS. i love this shit. even though it makes my soul go cold.
i have, however, never seen apaches. indeed: i'd never even heard of it. hmm: it's quarter to one on a saturday morning and mrs fiendish is watching season one of "medium" on DVD. now might be my time ...

note to other late-night PIF-liking UK ilx0rs: BBC2.
the one i always remember, but only ever saw once, was a "be careful with petrol on boats!" kind of thing, where a dude in the middle of the ocean tried to top up his outboard motor while lighting a fag.
i seem to recall the mother of all explosions; they had to pan back several miles [1] to get the whole thing in.

Not sure I can actually stay awake 'til then either. Why hide programs like this away? (also why give it a stupid title so it doesn't even jump out of the tv guide as something to watch?). Biggest childhood horror I remember, not sure if it was a general release PIF, or a railway police special, but the 3rd-rail burny-leg disaster was pretty scary, even though I lived in north wales and we didn't have electric rails. There's a good one on the tv at the moment which makes motorcycling look like the ultimate in extreme sport if-this-corner-doesn't-kill-you-something-around-the-next-one-will, I almost turned over, but I knew it'd probably be alright.

bloody hell. on to the third bit of apaches now. the wee girl's screams will haunt my dreams tonight, i fear. fucking hell.
on a marginally less bleak note: anyone remember "play it safe" with jimmy savile, a series of jolly little five-minute PIFs where the bejewelled funster pointed out how your house/garden/bike/etc was trying to kill you?

documentary: it was OK, if a little short (an hour would have been nicer; maybe a little more social history and a little less of andrew collins stating the obvious). not nearly enough on "protect and survive" for my liking, or the whole banality-of-danger stuff from the late seventies and early eighties (eg your boat/chip pan/electric fire/kettle/bike/frisbee/rug/etc is going to kill you); that said, i'd also like to have seen some more of the immediate post-war ones, so i guess i'd only have been truly happy with a five-hour epic.

In Ireland these days they have moved from existential dread to gore in public information films (or advertisements as they call them these days). So we have had a number of ones for various aspects of car safety stuff ("Fasten your seatbelt you moron!", "Turn off your mobile phone, you stupid bitch!", and "For fuck's sake what made you think that driving after a feed of pints would be a good idea?" etc.) that show people being graphically mashed by out of control vehicles. They annoy me.

We watched a documentary on herpes that included extreme close-ups of herpes breakouts. It was beyond gross.
I remember a lecturer talking about how gross-out public information films are not that effective at changing behaviour. He was talking about when he was in the army, they made the soldiers watch an in-your-face film about the horrors of veneral disease (as they then called it). It was very shocking, he said, and they were all talking about it on the way down to the brothel.

God, this has been nagging me for a few days now. I can sort of remember an American PSA from the early 1980s, featuring a burnt-out building and narrated by a cartoon cricket. I don't know whether it was for smoking safety, lighter safety, or smoke alarms, but I feel like it had to be one of those. I've already scoped out the various Cricket Lighter commercials on youtube. Would be happy to just have confirmation that something like this existed.

Getting started
Maybe you're new to riding buses and trains, or maybe you're new to the area. Relax - we'll answer your questions and help you get where you need to go. Our buses and trains offer you fast, reliable service throughout the region.
ST Express buses run frequently between the region's busiest communities with limited stops.
Link light rail runs two-way rapid service 20 hours per day between the University of Washington, downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport. Tacoma Link light rail provides all-day service in downtown Tacoma.
Sounder trains serve communities between Lakewood, Seattle and Everett during the morning and afternoon rush hours Monday through Friday. Sounder also serves some weekend events
1 - Plan your trip
Find the best way to use transit to get from Point A to Point B, with stops and schedules, using our system map and trip planner.
Try to arrive a few minutes early to your stop or station.
2 - Pay your fare
If you ride buses or trains only occasionally, it may be easiest to pay cash for each ride. You can pay cash directly onboard ST Express buses, or buy a ticket for Sounder or Link trains at station ticket vending machines (TVM).
If you ride more frequently, it's easier to purchase an ORCA (One Regional Card for All) card. You can purchase ORCA at a ticket vending machine, online, or at a retail location.
When using ORCA on Link or Sounder, be sure to tap on the yellow ORCA card reader before you get on board. Tap off on a yellow card reader when you get off.
3 - How to ride
Riding buses and trains is enjoyable when we all respect a few common courtesies, like no smoking or eating. Allow people with disabilities and senior citizens to use the priority seating. Keep your conversations on the quiet side, and use earphones when listening to music.
Have your fare ready - on the bus, you'll pay at the fare box in front; on the train, show your pass or ticket to the fare inspector on request.
When you ride transit, it's like a community - and everyone appreciates a good neighbor.

The Serena Group and Corporate Social Responsibility
We will be sensitive towards monitoring the interests of the local population; particularly with regard to the safeguarding of their traditions, culture and future development.
We will practise a responsible attitude towards energy conservation in terms of the reduction and recycling of waste; the control of sewage disposal, air-emissions and pollutants; the reduction in use of such unfriendly products as CFSs, pesticides and other toxic substances; and the reduction of noise and visual pollution.
We will be sensitive to the conservation of environmentally protected or threatened areas, species and scenic aesthetics. We shall also aim to achieve the enhancement of the landscape, wherever possible, by means of indigenous plant material reinforcement.
We must conserve rather than exploit nature.
Serena Hotels group Managing Director Mr. Mahmud JanMohamed
Discusses the value of CSR for business, society and the environment.
Download the Complete Interview (featured in UNWTO e-magazine Tourism and the Millennium Development Goals of 2010.)
Our corporate environmental mission statement
The Serena Group believes that corporate social responsibility (CSR) should not just be about philanthropy and compliance but that it should also offer a more holistic corporate approach towards economic, social, and environmental impacts as a whole. The group also places strong emphasis on measuring its success, not only in terms of financial gain, but also in terms of the degree to which it has contributed towards local economic development, environmental conservation and social justice.
Sustaining the environment
The Serena Group leads the field in East African and southern Asian eco-awareness and eco-policy implementation. We insist upon; eco-complimentary architecture; the use of local materials, skills and labour; waste recycling; pollution-reduction and non-CFC use; solar and wind generation and low energy-use devices and heat recovery systems. We also host a number of revolutionary tree planting and indigenous plant re-stocking projects; butterfly-breeding; and turtle-protection projects. Since environmental protection must extend into all levels of the community, the Group also offers community training on environmental responsibility.
Supporting the national economy
The Serena Group is a significant contributor towards governmental revenue in all the countries in which it operates.
Promoting good governance
The Serena Group recognises the need to conduct its business in accordance with generally accepted best corporate practices and in line with the global principles of corporate governance and business ethics.
Working with the local community
Serena hotels are located in some of the most beautiful areas of the world. These areas are shared with an extraordinarily diverse range of local cultures and ethnic groups, all of which cherish their own particular cultural traditions and heritage. The Serena Group is committed both to protecting and sustaining the lifestyle of such groups and showcasing and promoting their individual cultural heritage. Such promotion includes the inclusion of local designs, fabrics, handicrafts, sculptures and artworks within the design concept of the hotel or lodge, promoting local handicrafts in the hotel gift shops, and in showcasing local cultural traditions by means of dance, song, musical and theatrical displays for the hotel guests. The group also offers educational talks and cultural insights to visitors from overseas and encourages them to make culturally interactive visits to the local towns and villages. Visits are also arranged to local schools during which children of different cultures may exchange ideas.
Supporting the local economy
Wherever possible, the Group purchases its raw materials from the local community. This may take the form of fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy products and a wide range of other food stuffs. The Group also works with local suppliers and out-growing schemes so as to enable local growers to meet the exacting quality standards required by the group, as well as to practise economies of scale in supply. In some areas, recycling projects have been founded, which allow the Group to recycle waste foodstuffs into animal fodder. The Group also uses local suppliers of those goods that cannot be produced locally as well as ensuring that a minimum of packing materials/biodegradable materials are used in their supply.
Supporting the local society
The Group is committed to the concept of the creation of optimum economic opportunities for the local communities in which it operates. These can take many forms, such as; employment, supply of raw materials, supply of handicrafts or supply of local dance troupes. The Group also offers health care in the form of free medical consultations and subsidized medication through its on-site clinics. As an extension to this concept, the Group also operates a Wellness Programme, which offers community education on the basics of healthy living and the dangers inherent in such health hazards as Malaria and HIV/AIDS. As far as infrastructure is concerned, the Group is committed to providing clean drinking water for all those communities that surround their hotels and, in many cases, to providing good road connections to local markets and community centres.
Youth support
The Group is committed to supporting the youth of the local communities via the provision of career, leisure, educational and training opportunities. The Group also extends youth employment opportunities by hosting regular career talks and involving local school-leavers in job-experience schemes.
Charitable donations in cash and in-kind
Serena and its staff support a broad range of charitable causes and community initiatives. These take many forms; cash, supply of foodstuffs or clothing, hosting of community events or provision of employee-time in the form of visits to orphanages, hospitals, old-people's homes or mental institutions.

In Gates's engaging second Brigham Bybee mystery, a sort of X-Files meets Friendly Persuasion (the classic Gary Cooper movie about Quakers), the people and places of modern Utah seem as otherworldly as, well, another world. Defense lawyer and motel owner Brig is helping his girlfriend, Zolene Swapp, who had a major role in the author's first novel, Brigham's Day (2000), restore her historic house in Kanab, Utah. He's also helping to prosecute a member of the United Order of the Christ Brethren, Rampton Crowe, for polygamy. Brig's one witness, a former "wife" called Faith, is in a safe house to protect her from Crowe's "Blood Disciples." One night another wife, Mercy, comes to the motel badly beaten: Crowe caught her with a man who she claims later suffered a brutal end. Brig takes her to the same safe house as Faith, her "sister wife." Soon after Faith is found murdered, suspicion falls on Mercy. Brig is excoriated in the press, and fanning the flames is an evil little weasel, Darvis Gant, whom he defeated in an election years before and who has thirsted for his blood ever since. Cornered, Brig extricates himself in an ingenious ploy that results in a suspenseful climax. Unfortunately, the author fails to provide a plausible motive for "the real killer." In addition, Brig's having sex with Mercy in Zolene's bed stretches credulity, though Zolene's off-the-wall reaction may be worth the contrivance. Gates's contemporary Utah is a fascinating place, however, and his mystery is an entertaining one. Agent, the Philip Spitzer Agency. (July 5)

SHOLING boss Dave Diaper has put the club's potential Wembley winnings jackpot into sharp perspective.
The Boatmen have already banked about £12,000 from winning through six rounds to the FA Vase semi finals.
They would collect a further £6,000 if they beat Eastbourne United in the forthcoming semi-final, and a cool £25,000 if they went on to win the final at the national stadium.
Diaper insists that windfall would easily be swallowed up if Sholing go on to win promotion back to the Southern League at the end of this season.
The club withdrew from the Southern League last year due to financial reasons, but have applied to go back up.
"The Vase final is worth £25,000, it would basically pay for travel for the season in the Southern League South and West," Diaper explained.
"It goes without saying there would be quite a substantial shortfall.
"The whole season would probably be in the region of £60,000 [in the South and West].
"What the Vase does for us is put us into the limelight for potential investors.
"A cash injection would allow us to build the facilities that we've been planning for a long time now.
"At the moment, we will yoyo up and down from the Southern Premier Leagues to the Wessex because we have to balance our finances and go again.
"It would unviable for us to remain in the South and West without facing financial problems.
"It wouldn't make sense to put us in such danger.
"You look at the situation Bashley and AFC Totton are in at the moment.
"We don't want to be in that position, so we have to be patient and bide our time."

Green Bay Packers set 90-man spring roster
The Green Bay Packers will set their 90-man spring roster Monday, May 13, after wrapping up their rookie camp Sunday.
Coach Mike McCarthy called it one of his better rookie camps, if not the best, since he came to Green Bay in 2006. He said the practices were more efficient than most, and players were more adept to getting on the same page.
McCarthy said one of the standouts of the weekend was Kansas State running back Angelo Pease, who had just 60 carries for 333 yards in his final year of college.
McCarthy said rookie camp often confirms a player's movement and athletic ability, and he said Pease scored high on both. Pease expects to compete with two other rookies and three veterans for the starting running back job.
McCarthy also said that B.J. Coleman would compete with Graham Harrell at training camp for the No. 2 quarterback job behind Aaron Rodgers. Coleman was on Green Bay's practice squad last year. McCarthy said Coleman's not doing some things the way he was taught, but he's still making progress.
Tiger Woods wins PGA tournament
Madison golfers Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly both tied for 37th at The Players Championship near Orlando. Stricker was 13th going into Sunday's final round, but he closed with a four-over-par 76 to finish at two-under 286.
Kelly shot a two-over 74 in his final round. He also finished at minus two for the tournament.
Tiger Woods won his second Players Championship and his first since 2001. He finished at 13-under 275 for his 78th career PGA Tour victory.

If you think that telling the time on a conventional clock is just too easy for you to be bothered with, then you need to get yourself one of these Equation Clocks. Rather than your usual 1-12 numbers (how boring is that?), the Equation Clock has a different complex sum that tells you which number is which. For example, the number 8 on the clock face is represented by the square root of 64 - don't tell us you can't work it out.
You might think that this sort of thing is solely the preserve of nerds and people who want to show off about how clever they are, but once you start to work some of them out it's actually quite fun. Attractively designed to resemble an old fashioned blackboard (to compliment the educational atmosphere, we don't doubt), the Equation Clock is not just for the smarty pants-wearers out there, it's a fun item for any home.
Please remember to add postal time (2-3 working days) to obtain a complete estimate of delivery to your door.
You will receive an email to confirm when your item has been sent.
You can also check the status of your order and individual items by accessing My Account details and following the prompts.
Please allow 10 working days from dispatch of your order before notifying us of any late deliveries.
It may be advisable to check with your neighbours to see if a parcel has been left with them, check any outhouses you might have where it may be left if it cannot fit through your letterbox and contact your local sorting office to see if the item has been returned to the depot as undelivered and awaiting collection.

This Equation Clock was a perfect gift for a mate, both for his birthday and as a new home present.
This Equation Clock is a perfect gift for somebody studying chemistry at Uni!
I bought this Equation Clock as a present for my mother, a maths teacher at a local secondary school. As soon as I saw it I thought: "perfect!" and what's more, it arrived just in time for the start of term - amazing! Of course, naturally, she loved the clock and put it up on the wall in her room. I was told that it wasn't long before one of her pupils asked the question that we never thought we'd hear a secondary school student say: "what time does the clock say miss?". However, what's even better is the fact that my mother can answer with the words: "10 minutes to root 4!". Overall, I fully recommend this product unless.
The Equation Clock is a great idea! Got this as a present and the recipient loved it.
I must say one of this is the best clock I have seen, I was torn between this and the backwards clock but as I'm big on math, it had to be this!
I found this when reading an email I had recieved and new it was absolutely perfect as a present for my friend, so ordered it at once. I was not let down- it is exactly as described and greatly admired by all who saw it. And best of all people, it DOES NOT tick! (this was important to me!) I would definetely recommend this to anyone who is into maths, as not only does it look good on your wall but it also encourages a bit of brain training in the office or before bed. Perhaps a little on the costly side, but worth it in the end!
What do you buy the man who has everything?? Fast delivery. Excellent quality.
I bought tis for my maths teacher friend. She does a lot of home tuition so was pleased with this gift. Her pupils will have to widen their knowledge to work out when the end of the lesson is.
I'm stoked with my Equation Clock. I have been able to use it for revising Maths across an array of maths topics from simply division to solving quadratic equations. If the person in your life loves numbers this is the clock for them. If the person in your life doesn't love numbers this is the clock that will start them on a new journey of discovery!
There's only one word to describe the Equation Clock and that word is cool! It looks great hanging on my wall.
I bought this Equation Clock for my fiance, who is a Physicist. He thought it was excellent and said that I'd indulged his geeky side.
Telling the time has never been so much fun - counting in seconds is quite challenging though.
The Equation Clock is a quirky gift for maths geeks. I would definitely recommend this fantastic product.
I bought this for my nephew - a Maths student. He loves it! He thinks it is a great gift.
this is the coolest clock I have ever seen. How to confuse guests and work out the nerds from the normal!Just right for that clever mathematician in the family and anyone who wants to pretend.

Mike Fisher scored his second goal of the game with 1:16 left, and the Nashville Predators beat Vancouver 6-5 on Thursday night to snap Canucks backup goalie Cory Schneider's five-game winning streak.
Fisher went to the net and backhanded a centering pass from Martin Erat over a sprawling Roberto Luongo, who replaced Schneider in the high-scoring game.
David Legwand, Shea Weber, Jordin Tootoo and Colin Wilson also scored for the Predators.
Cody Hodgson, Daniel Sedin, Aaron Volpatti, Alex Burrows and Jannick Hansen had goals for the Canucks (14-10-1).
Schneider, who gets sporadic starts behind Luongo, was pulled following the first period after giving up three goals on five shots.
Nashville's Pekka Rinne had it almost as rough, and was replaced by Anders Lindback after the Canucks took a 5-3 lead in the second period. Lindback made several key saves in the third period and stopped all 19 shots he faced.
Schneider was in goal for a seventh straight game, a run that included back-to-back shutouts, as coach Alain Vigneault decided to ride the hot hand. Schneider had allowed only four goals during his winning streak.
Luongo was cleared to play five games ago after recovering from an undisclosed upper body injury sustained on Nov. 13.
The Predators (12-9-4), who had scored only five goals in four games, won for the second time in three games.
Legwand and Fisher scored on Nashville's first two shots, and Weber made it 3-1 before the first period ended. Two of the goals came on the power play.
Legwand scored his sixth of the season on the Predators' first power play, snapping Colin Wilson's pass behind Schneider.
Fisher doubled the lead by lofting a backhander over Schneider's arm.
Hodgson drew the Canucks to within a goal on a power play 1:42 later. He shoveled Chris Higgins' feed behind Rinne, who was lifted after one period in his previous appearance in Vancouver.
Weber, robbed by Schneider's glove seconds before, scored on a top-corner shot from the circle.
Rinne, a Vezina trophy finalist last season, looked shaky in a four-goal second period in which the Canucks outshot Nashville 20-9. He was pulled at 10:29 of the period.
Daniel Sedin banked a puck in off the goalie, and Volpatti ended a 36-game drought with a shot through a crowd from the top of the slot 48 seconds later.
Burrows scored his ninth goal when he converted Henrik Sedin's backhanded pass for Vancouver's first lead.
Hansen made it 5-3 with a shot that found its way under Rinne's pads, but Tootoo and Wilson scored to tie it 5-5 tie after 40 minutes.
NOTES: Canucks forward Mason Raymond missed a planned return to the lineup following a serious back injury in last season's Stanley Cup finals because of what a team official termed "paperwork with the league." ... Vancouver D Sami Salo was out after sustaining a groin injury on Tuesday. Aaron Rome, back after missing four games with a hand injury, replaced him. ... Luongo got the start when these clubs met in Vancouver on Oct. 20 and made 25 saves in the Canucks' 5-1 win. ... The Predators finished a five-game road trip.

Oh Kamikirimusi, and your long long name. THis was made to accompany IWFHellsing's Sophitia for Otakon 2009. We had a great shoot planned with Elemental, and decided to go all out on the costumes! The kimono is black linen with red linen appliqued on and then BUTTON HOLE stitched down. it's fully lined, and closed with hook and eye closures. the obi, i based on the artbook design and went with a light purple casa satin, and then appliqued and once again BUTTON HOLE STITCHED down all the tan and coral colored petals. the bow has tulle and plastic canvas in it so it stays poofy. i engineered a pair of legwarmers with zippers and flexible strips, a friend did the hand prints. perhaps the most interesting concoction of supplies went into her Kanbotou, seeing as the base is a POOL NOODLE, covered with foam core, foamies, model magic, and a baseball bat. overall the costume was a ton of fun and SUPER comfortable!

Re:Search not working!!!

How do you know the traffic is way down? Intuition or did you look up numbers?
Bartl is correct. It is easier to type into google Roadfood:
using the colon helps limit the search to this site.
Then search for the thread of subject you want, assuming you are trying to remember past threads.
like this...

I know that a bunch of posters that were here every day posting questions/answers, and experiences that have just disappeared. And I'm not talking about not posting as often as they used too I'm speaking to not posting at all. And I assume not reading the threads as well. And that's sad.
If the correct way to search Roadfood is to use Google why have a search engine on the site? Why not a link to Google and some specific directions on how to use it to search Roadfood?

That's just a workaround. My guess is the search engine in this forum software is the culprit, along with an MIA Mr. Rushmore.

For what it's worth I think the search feature here has been lacking as long as I've been to the site. I also think the google method is relatively good. Without it the site looses it's last lifeline. I'm here all the time. Don't post much but always looking for ideas and insight ( I admit, all about builds and real life experiences). I am a 37y/o restaurant professional, culinary background working and just about every position in a restaurant. Even worked a few concession trailers at the nc state fair for a number of years. Sometimes I wish people were more receptive here but I definatly don't want the site to die. I hope this gets sorted out soon. Best regards, kevin

A bit of history: a few years back, I was visiting Virginia, and wanted to find some good restaurants. While looking them up on Google, I noted that a lot of the references were from these forums. I said, "Screw this!" and limited the search to site:roadfood.com. (I use the site: modifier a lot, for a number of purposes). Been using it ever since when I want to find good restaurants in an area; never steered me wrong.

my problem with that method is the Google results link me to the thread without the entire website header, that includes all the navigation and tools.
I think thats because the forum is being served in am Iframe wrapper from some other CMS solution like Joomla or Wordpress.

Snow, ice on meter causes minor gas leak, evacuation in Bemidji
BEMIDJI -- While warmer weather was welcomed by most area residents Wednesday, it also resulted in the closing of two businesses following a gas leak in downtown Bemidji.
Runoff from ice melting on the roof of Iverson Corner Drug came into contact with a gas meter already covered with snow plowed on top of it, said Minnesota Energy Resources spokeswoman Pam Sarvela. That caused a valve attached to the meter to leak, and shut down the business for five hours Wednesday.
Store owner Paul Iverson said employees smelled gas inside the business about 10 a.m. Wednesday.
"It's a 'better safe than sorry' thing, so I guess that's good," he said.
Workers with Minnesota Energy Resources shut down an alley near the business as a precautionary measure, and were concerned that the leak might have developed underground, Iverson said.
The leak also shut down Dress Club Cleaners for several hours.
Sarvela said it's important for business and homeowners to maintain a cleared area around gas meters.
"This time it was a combination of snow and ice, but just keeping them clear and free of all debris, is the safest thing," she said.
Iverson and his employees were able to fill some prescriptions despite the leak, but still had some catching up to do Wednesday afternoon.
"It'll be busy the rest of the day," he said.

Weather out west may affect crops here
Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:36:41 GMT —
Itâ??s almost 2,000 miles away, but temperatures in the Pacific Ocean may impact crops here in the Heartland.
Itâ??s all because of the weather patterns known as El Niño and La Niña. The transition to El Niño years gives way to milder summers with more regular rainfall throughout the Midwest. With La Niña, hot summers and irregular rainfall are more common, which was the case during the drought of 2012. All this can affect crop yields which, in turn, could raise prices.
â??Our research in looking at agricultural crops and El Niño La Niña cycles is quite simple," said Professor Anthony Lupo of the University of Missouri. "Weâ??re looking at corn, wheat and soybeans. All of these crops show some susceptibility to drought but corn being the most because of its shallower root system.â??
Researchers have begun linking the El Niño and La Niña cycles to crop yields with the hopes of helping farmers to prepare their fields several seasons in advance. Lupo says that the growing understanding of weather patterns along with improving forecast technology may one day allow predictions of as much as 20 years in advance.

Saint Fiacre
|Saint Fiacre of Breuil
Stained glass window, Notre-Dame, Bar-le-Duc, France, 19th century.
|7th century
|18 August 670 AD
|Venerated in
|Eastern Orthodox Church
Roman Catholic Church
|1 September
|spade; basket of vegetables.
|medicine; gardeners; venereal disease sufferers
Saint Fiacre (Irish: Fiachra, Latin: Fiacrius) is the name of three different Irish saints, the best-known being Saint Fiacre of Breuil, (died 18 August 670),[1] who built a hospice for travellers in what is now Saint-Fiacre, Seine-et-Marne in France.
Fiachra is an ancient pre-Christian name from Ireland. The meaning has been interpreted to mean "battle king",[2] or possibly a derivative of the word fiach "raven".[3] The name can be found in ancient Irish folklore and stories such as the Children of Lir.
Saint Fiacre of Breuil[edit]
Fiacre lived in a hermitage in County Kilkenny. His unwanted fame as one skilled with herbs, a healer and holy man, caused disciples to flock to him. Seeking greater solitude, he left his native land and sought refuge in France, at Meaux.[1]
He approached St Faro, the Bishop of Meaux, to whom he made known his desire to live a life of solitude in the forest. St Faro assigned him a site at Breuil, in the region of Brie.[4] Here Fiacre built an oratory in honour of the Virgin Mary, a hospice in which he received strangers, and a cell in which he himself lived apart. He lived a life of great mortification, in prayer, fast, vigil, and the manual labor of the garden. He died on 18 August 670.
St Faro allowed Fiacre as much land as he might entrench in one day with a furrow; Fiacre turned up the earth with the point of his staff, toppling trees and uprooting briers and weeds. A suspicious woman hastened to tell Faro that he was being beguiled and that this was witchcraft. Faro, however, recognized that this was the work of God. From this point on it is said St Fiacre barred women, on pain of severe bodily infirmity, from the precincts of his monastery.[5]
St Fiacre's relics are installed in Meaux Cathedral. The Roman Martyrology commemorates his feast on 11 August. Meaux continued to be a great centre of devotion to Fiacre, especially during the 17th and 18th centuries. Visitors to his shrine included Anne of Austria, Bossuet, and Vincent de Paul.[6] St Fiacre had a reputation for healing haemorrhoids, which were called "Saint Fiacre's figs" in the Middle Ages. Cardinal Richelieu visited the saint's relics hoping for relief from this illness.[7] [8]
St Fiacre is the patron saint of the French commune Saint-Fiacre. He is also the patron of those who grow vegetables and medicinal plants, and of gardening in general including ploughboys.[7] To celebrate the Millennium, St. Fiachra's Garden was opened in 1999 at the Irish National Stud, Tully, County Kildare, Ireland.[9]
Saint Fiacre is commonly invoked to help heal people suffering from various ills, based on his reputed skill with medicinal plants. His reputed aversion to women is believed to be the reason he is known as the patron saint of venereal disease sufferers.[6]
He is also the patron saint of hemorrhoids, fistulas, taxi cab drivers, box makers, florists, hosiers, pewterers, tilemakers, and those suffering from infertility.[10]
Fiacre cabs[edit]
From about 1650, the Hotel de Saint Fiacre, in the rue St-Martin in Paris, hired out carriages. These carriages came to be known as fiacres, which became a generic term for hired horse-drawn transport. Although sometimes claimed by taxi-drivers as a patron saint, St. Fiacre is not recognized as such by the Church.[7]
Other St. Fiacres[edit]
Two other Saint Fiachra/Fiacres existed – Saint Fiachra, Abbot of Urard, County Carlow (Ireland) and Saint Fiachra, Abbot of Clonard.[2]
