Boy's lemonade stand raises funds for best friend's surgery, but there's a twist
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Monday, January 26, 2015 12:06AM EST
When seven-year-old Quinn Callandar opened a lemonade stand in Pitt Meadows, B.C., last summer to raise money for his best friend's surgery, he didn't know his selfless act of love would also help a stranger in need.
Quinn and his family opened the stand last July to raise funds for his best friend, Brayden Grozdanich, who was suffering the painful effects of cerebral palsy. Brayden could go to the States for surgery to alleviate the pain, but it was a costly operation.
"I saw he was having so much pain and then my mommy and daddy told me about this surgery and I thought it would be great to raise money and help him," says Quinn.
The lemonade stand, combined with an online fundraising campaign launched by Quinn's mother, ended up raising $61,000 -- more than enough to cover the costs associated with the operation.
But here's the twist: The New Jersey doctor who performed Brayden's surgery was so inspired by the lemonade stand, he waived the fees.
So Quinn's family put the money toward the same surgery for another needy child – who they had never met.
"The family was able to pay it forward and pay for that child's surgery, so a three-and-a-half year-old girl was able to benefit from all the publicity and success from the lemonade stand," said Heather Roney, Quinn's mother.
The surgery for that girl, named Brookie, is scheduled to take place this week.
Meanwhile, Brayden's surgery has made a world of difference. Last summer, Brayden had trouble balancing, would get tired easily and was experiencing a lot of pain.
Since the operation, he is running around, mounting stairs without holding onto a railing and raising an arm that he couldn't lift before.
Brayden's father Travis says the surgery was less invasive than the options available in Canada, and that the results "have been huge for him."
Travis says his family is grateful for the support.
"It's overwhelming what Quinn and his family and what the public did, from all across the world, really," Travis told CTV Vancouver.
Brayden, meanwhile, says he feels "pretty awesome."

Israelis allege drone favour
A major drone manufacturer says there is a lack of transparency in Australia's bid to buy new lethal flying machines.
American company General Atomics is expected to be the winner of a multi-million-dollar contract for Australia's first armed unmanned aerial vehicles.
But its sole competitor — Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) — has accused the Defence Department of lacking transparency in its evaluation process.
Project AIR 7003 has pit the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper drone against IAI's Heron TP system.
Shaul Shahar from IAI said the American firm has enjoyed favourable treatment in the process.
"With all the risk analysis, all competitive analysis they need to do here, they haven't done it because no-one has approached us," he told the ABC.
"No-one has offered to put our data of the system on the table. So … no evaluation can be complete.
"The preference for a US product, in the absence of an open competitive tender, creates an environment in which there is little transparency of how the Australian Department of Defence is managing the project, and how it has arrived at its decision."
Unnamed Defence figures have allegedly told reporters that the Israeli technology is reliable, but there are interoperability issues created by the fact that Australia's allies already use the MQ-9 Reaper.
Mr Shahar rejected the claim.
"We have more than 100 pilots, Australian pilots, that have been trained on our Heron-1 system," he said.
"I want to remind you that one of the successful programs of UAV here in Australia was with our Heron-1 system.
"They used it for three years in Afghanistan successfully."
Dr Malcolm Davis from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute suspects the Reaper will win.
"I'm sure the Israeli system is very good, but there's an awful lot to be said for close interoperability with our key allies," he said.
"The Americans are using Reapers, the British are using Reapers.
"I think that it would be probably the most likely choice to go down the path of Reaper.
"[But] I'm certainly not attempting to pre-judge the outcome of the contest."
Defence Minister Marise Payne issued a statement saying: "Defence is considering a range of options for the future Australian Defence Force armed remotely piloted aircraft system".
"No decision on which system will be acquired has been made," she said.
"As the evaluation process is ongoing, it is not appropriate to comment."

In 30 years you are going down hill in a short order. Never again will I order from you again. Your dumb waitress don't know her menu for one. Who eats just fish and sauce dummy's
10/15/2011Provided by Citysearch -
So we have visited this restaurant many times in the past and always had great food and great experience. Yesterday when my husband and I decided to end our evening there because of its charm and food quality we were confident in our choice. WE WERE WRONG! The waiter was apologizing for his tardiness when we first sat down. When he finally took the order more than half a bottle of wine gone, we were hungry! Kalamari was overdone...hint - oil too hot. Salads were DRENCHED in dressing. Husband had shrimp Milani and the bacon wrapped around it was basically RAW. I had stuffed shrimp and they were burned and hard as rocks. The fettucine was congealed. Sauce had separated. And though the broccoli was very wet, it was under cooked. BUT HERE'S THE BAD PART... we told the waiter who immediately said, ""well it's not my fault, but the owner is in and I will have her come right over."" I WATCHED him speak with her. She threw her arms in the air and walked away. He came back and said, ""She is too busy to come over, but I will give you free dessert. I have control over that, it won't be burned."" The OWNER then did everything in her power to avoid us. We had to ASK for the check. When he brought the check he brought an order of baklava to go, ""on him."" Thanks Jason for asking, I'm allergic to the ingredients in it. We didn't want our dinner comped, we didn't want any special favors - we just wanted someone to tell the cook he was ruining $25 meals! WE WON'T GO BACK - after 30 years - WE WON'T GO BACK. They don't care - we don't.

My friends and I ordered a pizza from there at 11:13 and wanted to have it delivered to the UAA campus. When we ordered, the receptionist told us it would be fine and the pizza would be there within 45 minutes. After an hour, one of us called to see where the pizza was and the lady told us that the delivery guy left ten minutes ago. (timeline, over an hour minus 10 minutes doesn't equal 45 minutes) 10 minutes later I called back to just ask for my money back and got a HUGE attitude from the same lady! She said just to wait for the pizza and refuse delivery. When I told her that we had to go to class and there would be nobody here to refuse delivery she said ""well then I guess nobody's getting any pizza then huh? He's already gone, I have no way of getting a hold of him. Have a nice day"" and hung up the phone! Its 2010! How does she not have anyway of not getting a hold of a driver! When I checked my bank account, they had charged my card without my signature! As soon as I get out of class I will call again to try and have them reverse the charges. I will NEVER deal with these people again. Bad pizza I can live with, but bad customer service is NEVER worth dealing with! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS! They do NOT deserve it! If I could give them NO stars I would, but this site wont let me...
I just recently had a birthday celebration here. Both the service and food was great. I especially enjoyed the shrimp stuffed with crab and lobster and served with fettuccine & broccoli. Portions are very large and prices are reasonable. We will go back again......

It sounds like a strip mall pizza joint - don't be fooled. It's a strip mall very nice Italian restaurant!
If this place was a stand-alone with a big parking lot and a fancy name, it would be a lot more expensive and crowded. But they have been hiding in their little corner of this anonymous strip mall for decades and it seems to work.
Not just pizza - a comprehensive menu of very good upscale Italian and Greek. Don't let the name fool you - inside this is a very nice place, even romantic if you wish.
Extensive menu, very well-prepared. Rarely crowded, but they do take reservations. A real surprise for the uninitiated. Cost is very reasonable when compared to the more-crowded and well-known competition.

Our family is contemplating a trip to Bavaria this summer(August), with continuing travel into Italy.
Ideally, we'd fly into Munich, spend 1 night, then head down into the heart of Bavaria for 5 nights. During that time, we'd like to tour around various villages, see castles and visit Salzburg. We plan to rent a car, either in Munich, or in our Bavarian "base".
Can anyone recommend a great central location to use as a base for touring Bavaria. I was looking at Fussen, or possible Reutte in Austria. Looking for a location which has a lot of charm and has great access to many highlights with minimal backtracking.
Thanks, everyone, for your feedback.

Bavaria "Home" Base?
Our family is contemplating a trip to Bavaria this summer(August), with continuing travel into Italy.
Report Abuse
I see Salzburg and the Bavarian castle country as 2 destinations with both being worth your time.
I would land in Munich and drive straght to the Salzburg area---about a 2 hour drive. I would give both at least 2 nites each. I like Oberammergau as a good central location for the castles and the Weiskirche.
Report Abuse
Munich is the heart of Bavaria - I presume you mean the Alps.
The best answer to this depends on whether your are driving or taking the train. The rail lines generally "spoke" in and out of the Alpine towns, so Munich probably makes the best base on a pure efficiency basis - depending on which towns you want to visit, of course. That doesn't seem to be the Alpine experience you are seeking, though. If you will be driving, then Garmisch - Partenkirchen is probably the best choice for 5 days. It has the size to keep you and your gang interested, and it is central to Mittenwald, Oberammergau, and Fussen (to a slightly lesser degree). It probably has the best rail connections, too, because of it's size. If you stay in Fussen or Reutte, you will probably find yourself traveling east several times to see the other places mentioned..
Report Abuse
I'm sure you hav e looked at the map but the area you are talking about is not all that big. If you think of it as roughly West to East it is probably not a lot more than 100 miles from Fussen to Salzburg.
The highlights are Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau then east of there a few miles the Wiesekirche, then Oberammergau, Schlos Linderhof, Ettal Monastery, Garmish and Mittenwald. It is a little longer drive from there to Bertschesgaden and Salzburg. About half way between Munich and Salzburg is Ludwig's Versailles, Herren Chiemsee. Since it is a linear progression we stay a night or two in village along the way.
Stay a night in Fussen or Schwangau so you can get your tickets and times to tour the castles. Then tour your way to Mittenwald for a night. The next stop would be Salzburg. From there you ca do Hallstatt, Bertschesgaden and Chiemsee.
Report Abuse
If I was deciding between Fuessen and Reutte, it would be Fuessen, no question. We visited Reutte twice, we don't get it. It's ok, but a rather non descript village. We went twice, only because we were in the area on 2 seperate trips and were wondering if we had missed something. We didn't.
With 5 nights, I'd head straight to Salzburg area. We like staying near Berchtesgaden in the village of Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden for our visits to Salzburg and the general area. It's less than 30 minutes from Salzburg. I'd allow 3 nights of your 5 for this area. It's about a 2 hour drive from Munich. Way more than enough to see and do with the time you have.
Eagle's Nest
Salt Mine tours
Jennerbahn cable car trip
just to name a few.
I'd then head to Fuessen (or Garmisch/Mittenwald/Oberammergau area) for 2 nights. Again, you wouldn't come close to running out of things to see and do around here.
Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castle's
Tegelberg cable car and luge ride (about a mile or so from Neuschwanstein)
Linderhof palace
Zugspitze trip (from Garmisch or Ehrwald, Austria)
If heading to Italy by train afterwards, you could drop the car in Garmisch and head to Italy from here.
For car rentals, we've used www.gemut.com for our last 3 trips. Highly recommend them.
For places to stay, we love the Pension Mayringerlehen in Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden. We stayed here in '06, '07 and '09.
In Fuessen, we liked our 2 stays ('01, '03)at the Hotel zum Hechten.
In Mittenwald we stayed twice ('05, '06) at the Pension Schwalbennestl. Not a fancy place, but nice enough and the views are terrific.
If interested, we have photo's at:

I agree with Paul--he knows that area

Thanks so much for your detailed input. Right now, we plan to fly into Frankfurt, then drive directly to Rothenburg for an overnight. Next day we plan to drive to Fussen and base there for 3 nights. Finally, we hope to head to Salzburg for 2-3 nights.
We will have the car for the duration of our travels and will be dropping it off in Florence.
This itinerary is definitely subject to change, but thought it looked OK. From Salzberg, we will drive to Venice for 2 nights before continuing on to Tuscany.
What do you think?
Report Abuse
What sort of drop-off fee are you incurring for the drop in Florence?
It occurs to me that you might save some money by taking the train to Venice. Direct trains from Munich (or connecting trains from Freilassing near Salzburg, where you could drop the car in Germany for no extra charge) to Venice are possible for 49€ each with adv. sale tickets. The gas alone will cost close to 80€; you aren't using a car in Venice anyway and could save 3 days of rental than pick up another when you're ready to drive across Italy. And the drop-off fees - I've seen a few around $400. Perhaps you've already concerned yourself with this issue, or perhaps not.
Report Abuse
Hi Russ!
I've been doing comparison shopping and the car rental for 14 days ,inclusive of the dropoff fee in Florence, totals about $1,400 . Thought having the car for the whole time would give us more flexibility...but you do have some really good points.
I'll take a look at the cost of dropping the car in Freilassing or Munich, taking the train to Venice, then picking up a car when we're ready to head to Tuscany.
Planning this trip is making my head spin...but in a good way!

March 10 (Reuters) - Indian shares ended steady on Friday, posting small weekly gains, as investors anxiously await the results of state elections, which could boost Prime Minister Narendra Modi's chances of winning the 2019 general election.
Exit polls, which at times have been proven wrong, showed Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party in the lead but falling short of a majority to form a government in Uttar Pradesh, the most crucial among the states that went to the polls. Actual results are due on Saturday.
The broader NSE index closed up 0.08 percent at 8,934.55, while the benchmark BSE index ended 0.06 percent higher at 28,946.23. Both indexes gained about 0.4 percent for the week.

Author/Artist: Silverkitsune
Pairing: Jack/Ann, Jimmy
Rating: G
Spoiler: This is set at the end of the movie, so if you haven't seen it I would suggest you pass this one.
Summary: Jack thinks about the ghosts that haunt his life.
Disclaimer: I do not own King Kong nor any of the characters associated with it.
Authors Note: Ok, this is my first Kong fic, I'm not sure if I like it, so be honest with me. Criticism is welcome.
Jack has lived with ghosts for as long as he can remember. They're the wispy images from long past that float by his eyes when he imagines a play. They're the echoing laugh of a man or woman long forgotten that forms the first piece of a new character he's just beginning to discover. He knows what it's like to be locked in a room with nothing for company but the unseen specters that guide his pen, and press the keys of his typewriter. He isn't afraid of these ghosts. They're his partners, his guides. He can give them form and tell their stories so that the world will hear them and ensure that at least a part of what they once were will be remembered. In return they don't drive him insane.
But Jack is the exception, and he knows this. Jack knows that there are many who can't strike bargains with their ghosts. He understands that these people, if left to their own devices, will be crushed by the weigh of these phantoms. Quickly if they're lucky, slowly if they're not. It's why Jack brings Jimmy, the life-sized ghost of Hayes and the formless specters that made the shadows in the boy's eyes long before they crossed paths into his two-room apartment. Setting up what he can't help but think is a temporary camp for god only knows how long.
Neither one of them can ever sleep. Jack slaves over his Underwood, churning out scripts and plays where the characters always have one ear listening for the roar of an unseen beast. He ignores the daylight and focuses on the starlight trying to exercise the floating image of Ann. She's the one ghost he's afraid of because she's taken his own story and woven it into hers with such tight knots and stitches that he doesn't think they'll ever be allow to separate. Jimmy keeps to himself, sitting out on the balcony re-reading Heart of Darkness and sniffing about for an answer Jack doesn't have the heart to tell him can't be found. Both of them trying to carve out a life amidst the many flickering images that have settled around their eyes, and burrowed deep into their skins.


text: I will try to be brief and would appreciate any help on this. I run an older permagreen ultra and have for 2 years. I cleaned it out very very good this spring. (I have experienced the problem I will explain before). I ran momentum last week with Lesco surfactant and had no issue. I loaded it with three way and surfactant last week and let it sit because it started raining. I go to use it today and it clogged in 30 second. The left side screen looked awful. I cleaned it and went again...10 seconds maybe and it was plugged on the left side. The right side seemed to spray fine. The water coming out almost looks rusty. Any chance my pump is junk? I really need to figure this out it is driving me nuts. I experienced the problem last year a few times and it is maddening because the only way to get through an app is to stop every 3 seconds and clean the screens. Any ideas? Z

A player, coach or issue that should be on your radar as training camp approaches.
Right now, much like a large portion of the Rams' offensive line, Jason Smith is fighting an injury (toe), but forecasting him to take a substantial step forward does not seem out of line at this point. In a massive understatement, St. Louis needs him to develop in a big way -- and soon.
This year, Smith moves to his more natural left tackle spot. I found it very curious that he wasn't put there from the start last season and that decision may have stunted his development, as did injuries during his rookie year. But moving him where he was drafted to play was a step in the right direction -- as was drafting Rodger Saffold to man the right tackle spot. Rookie quarterback Sam Bradford, Saffold and Smith should all grow up together in this offense. While it may result in more hits than Bradford or management would like in 2010, it is a very stable long-term plan.
St. Louis also got rid of Richie Incognito and Alex Barron. Both linemen are very talented, but their approach to the game can be questionable. Getting such potential bad influences out of the offensive line meeting room was a wise long-term decision.
Smith has all of the tools you look for. His size and feet are superb, but more polishing with his technique against speed rushers would be a good idea. He didn't flourish in his rookie season, but he didn't appear overwhelmed either. Smith had a few bad games, but nothing catastrophic. Now he understands the speed of the game and what is expected of him at this level. Smith has had a full offseason to dedicate himself to develop into a top-notch starting left tackle.
But injuries to Smith and this entire line just can't be ignored. As a rookie, he just wasn't on the field very much. While St. Louis looks to have very solid prospects at both tackle spots and reliable veterans at left guard and center, the turnover with this unit on a week-to-week basis last year was very difficult to overcome. Continuity and having a great understanding of your linemates is paramount to success up front in the NFL. We just haven't seen that of late, but there is hope for sure -- not only for Smith, but for the entire front wall.

If you want really to use Geese, then you should at
least read what I will write. May be you will find
something useful. Okay, first things first...
The changes are... His counters now counter any
physical attack move in their range...including
supers. Recieved the typical tonedown in that he
cannot combo reppukens off the short in either EX or
regular. Regular Geese's single reppuken is much
slower and he has a longer delay when throwing it.
Regular Geese can no longer combo into his double
repukken from the first hit of standing roundhouse.
Can cancel his forward+FP move into a counter at
various new points in it is animation (credit goes for
D. Greene)!
I will first talk about the Normal Attacks. His
standing and crouching LPs are good to connect them
with other Normal Attacks or Special Moves. You can
always use them if you are cornered or when you want
to make some distance between you and your opponent.
Also, his standing and crouching LKs are the same but
with a little delay. His distance LK is not that
useful except that you can do the Deadly Rave after it
and that is alone very good.
His standing HP is good to cancel to a Reppu Ken,
Double Reppu Ken or any other move. Also it comes out
so fast, you can do it after the crouching LK and then
Evil Shadow Masher. That would be painful, really! His
so good anti-air attacks is his crouching HP, you can
do it as long as you like, but be fast. Some
characters can trade hit with you sometimes if you are
not fast. Or it trades hit with some high jump air
attacks, like Ken's LP or LK. And the best way to give
your opponent hard punches is to use his distance HP
perfectly. Use it when the opponent is about to jump
or make a move. Or when you want to play save. You can
use his standing HK anytime but becareful though, do
not over use it, because some characters can get you
with their supers after they defend. There is a little
lag you know, but you can cancel the first hit to a
Reppu Ken of course to save your butt. But you won't
be using it that much because there are some other
good options more than this Normal Attack. You can use
his crouching HK after some Normal Attacks (read
below), or to keep your opponent away. Also you can do
the Raising Storm after it which makes this attack
some kind of good. But really, this Normal Attack is
useful a lot. And damaging if I may say. Do not worry
about using it at all. But make sure you do something
right after it (connect) like Reppu Ken... if the
opponent defends, that is. And if the opponent plays
tricky, then do not cancel it everytime you do it. His
distance HK is good if you want to keep the opponent
near you or want to get near to him/her. Also, if the
opponent is about to jump then do it. The Get Lost
(forward + HP) is good after the Deadly Rave or when
the opponent is about to jump. And if the opponent
high long jumps, use it. You should know the timing.
With a little practice, you will master it in no time.
But I won't say with a little practice you will master
performing the Raising Storm after Get Lost. Because
this needs very fast hands. So, you should parctice a
lot. If you ask me, it is nothing. May be because I am
used to the Super Move since Fatal Fury Special...
which is a very long time, ladies and gentlemen.
His air HP and HK are there for the combos and needed
damage. If you want to attack, use them. But
unfortunately, none can be connected to Shippu Ken.
Also for fast play, you can use his LK... but I won't
say the same about his LK. They are not that helpful
as his HP and HK...
As for the moves, his Reppu Ken is kind of slow now
(same goes for all other fire balls). Use it from time
to time. Also, his Reppu Ken is good to do when you
are close to your opponent or when he or she is down
on the ground. Be careful with his Shippu Ken, use it
from a distance and from time to time. But be so very
careful, they can can roll, you know... and then you
are history too. As for his counters, Upper Body Slam,
Knockdown Blow and Below-The-Belt Blast. I say the
most used and useful one is with no doubt Upper Body
Slam, because you can counter all Air Attacks and the
Special Moves, but not the Super Moves (idiotic)! Use
it, use it and use it when you see your opponent
performs any Special Attack. But be careful, you
cannot counter the throw moves, smarty. This is not
Geese from Fatal Fury: King of Fighters, you know
(that was a demon ^_^)? As for the Air Attacks, it is
mostly about guessing here... same thing goes for his
other counters, Knockdown Blow and Below-The-Belt
Blast. Use it when the opponent is mashing endlessly.
Or sometimes you do not have to wait for your opponent
to make a move to do it. If you play so fast and want
to not let your opponent jump just do it, just like
that. Mostly, the opponent will be be confused why you
did it? And will jump and not attack, just waits for
you to do it again and then get you. But in return you
do the Raising storm or crouching HP. If the opponent
has got a super, then you have to think over it again,
His Super Moves, Raising Storm and Deadly Rave are by
far the best in the game. They make the opponent
screams: "OUCHHHHHHHH"! But I am talking about the
level three Raising storm, because level one and two
are hard to get any one. But if you are fast enough to
perform the Raising Storm, then you should have no
problems at all. I am okay with it, you jump and I
will easily be Raising Your Butt to sky in no time.
And before you enough know it. I do not care whether
it is level one, two or three. Just when I see the
Super Bar at full, then I smile. Also, his Deadly Rave
is so good with no question asked. Hands down, it is
too much. But now, it does not push the opponent away.
So, do it when the opponent makes a move or any Normal
Attack. Or why not with a very decent combo?
His throws are simple, yet useful. If you want to play
save or keep away, then use the Katate Nage. And if
you want to do combos and keep your opponent near you
then use the Knockdown Toss.
You are R3, so your moves will be damaging and you
have more stamina. But you will have one R1 character
with you. So, you have to be pretty careful... you do
not want to lose so fast. I use SNK side so that when
I have not enough life bar, I could do Raising Storm
anytime. I can attack freely without worrying about
any character that wants to jump. Not to mention the
Deadly Rave and then Raising Storm. But anyway, you
can use any side that fits you. When you start the
match, try to be completely focused and never let your
opponent attack twice as if you have nothing to do.
You can defend, but do not make it long. If you have
to defend, then you should fast think of what to do
next, so try to do so punches and kicks. Like distance
HP, distance LK, distance HK... and so on. The ones
that are completely save and painful. When an opponent
plans to play with fast frames, do the same. But hit
with the same time so that you can cancel his or hers.
And when a LP or LK works, do another harmful one...
like HP or HK. Also, use his crouching HK from a
distance... it will be useful against many characters.
If you are good with the Raising Storm and you are
facing a character that likes to jump a lot for the
combination attacks, then be sure to choose SNK. You
can endlessly do the Super Moves... it might not be
that damaging but at least it will be useful, and let
your opponent think twice before attacking you. As I
said before, the Double Reppu Ken can be used when you
are near your opponent or when he or she is on the
ground. Also to block some fire balls... use it
wisely. If you feel that your opponent is playing
"Keep Away" or hiding, then try Get Lost... it is
pretty much good.
Now that you know everything, you should know that
Geese is very slow when he jumps, so jump when you
toss your opponent after Get Lost. Also, he is not a
faster runner. So, short run and would be good for you
(Dreamcast). But it is dash (Aracde), then dash after
the opponent falls down, and you do not have to use it
that much since you will have to focus on playing a
mind game rather than just like Kyo! If you want to
corner your opponent use the light attacks, short run
(or dash), jump and the Reppu Ken. Also when the
opponent in falling down, confuse him or her by
crossing him/her or not. That should be good. Try to
focus on your opponent's movements so that you can get
the idea of what to do "next"! And react fast... do
not think things through over and over again just for
the sake of not getting hit. Because you will be dead
by the time you do so. Always attack from the three
points, low, mid and high. And "never", I mean NEVER
say Geese is cheap, because there is no one cheap but
you, stud. Geese is hard to use and when you know how

I'm watching this one since in my stupid colonial money-isn't-worth-much world I would have sworn that the term "good pubfood" is an oxymoron so please educate me thoroughly.

If you don't know the website www.fancyapint.com it has reviews of pubs all over UK including as to drink, food, atmosphere.
Report Abuse
Not necessarily. Pub food is not likely to get high regard among foodies, but I sometimes get put off by the constant clamor for good, so-called upscale cuisine. After dining several nights at such places offering two or three courses of "fine" food, I find that traditional (pub) food ( a "pie and pint") provides some relief from the often overambitious and ubiquitous menus many restaurants propose. Besides, if you haven't had a good curry, fish and chips or Shepard's Pie etc., you haven't really experienced British food.
Report Abuse
Of course you can get good food in a pub, beyond the traditional starchy "pub food" dishes. Just not all pubs. The gastropub fad has faded somewhat but that doesn't mean the British chefs have stopped dragging stodgy pub dishes into the 21st Century. After all, Heston Blumenthal claims his Fat Duck outside London started in a pub and rose to the title of best restaurant in the world at least once.
It is a fact of financial life that pubs have a hard time getting by just on beverages these days. The food has to be worth buying too.
As an aside, you can find adventurous and far-from-cheap gastropubs away from the English hills and vales. The Queen and Beaver in downtown Toronto has an adventurous chef and his meals can easily cost over $50. The bangers and mash, because of the quality of ingredients and cooking, will never be mistaken for the fatty gruels of old.

Fancyapint.com is worse than useless for pubs in the Cotswolds: it doesn't even accept there's such a place as Gloucestershire and doesn't even review the beer in West Oxfordshire pubs that win CAMRA awards year after year.
CAMRA's Good Pub Guide 2014 is currently available only as a paper edition. Its 2013 edition is available on Kindle, and for what the poster is looking for is reliable (it's the gastropubbery the poster's trying to break away from that fluctuates so much from year to year), but still pretty patchy about describing the food on offer. But CAMRA is very aware that West Oxfordshire is close to being the real beer capital of Britain, and its pub reviews for the Wychwood area are well informed and lucid.
All of which said, I've never found Welsh Rarebit in any pub, for the past 15 yeas I've found shepherd's pie most often microwaved from some food service specialist's frozen, delivered instant bar food service and personally wouldn't expect to find what the poster is looking for in a Wychwood pub.
Offhand, I can only think of the bar snacks menu at the Royal Oak, Ramsden coming anywhere near the brief within a ten mile radius - and only the St Aldate's Tavern in Oxford within 20 miles.
Southam, sadly, is utterly wrong: the gastropub fad is showing absolutely no signs of fading in the Cotswolds and over the past five years practically every once scruffy pub, with curry nights twice a week and quiz evenings sustained by decent ham sandwiches, has either closed, succumbed to the Farrow & Ball paint and the identikit gastromenu menu copied by the charismatic wife of a Duke or Earl from a rival's a few miles away or decided to cling on to an unapologetic beer & crisps only offer.
But Flannerpooch 2.0 and I will discuss this on the footpaths and see if we can come up with something.
Report Abuse
First, a correction to the last post.
CAMRA's highly reliable guide is, of course, the Good Beer Guide. Everything I said above about the Good Pub Guide would have been true if I'd got its name right.
It's not to be confused with the Good Pub Guide, which is available on the web, but whose criteria for selection strike me as decidedly iffy. EXCEPT its current nomination for Oxfordshire pub of the Year: the Trout at Tadpole Bridge (between Buckland and Bampton, so within 10 miles of Burford), which is determined not to call itself a gastropub and has menus that sometimes meet the OP's brief. It also has a weekly Sausage Club menu (on Tuesdays, I think), which probably meets the brief as well.
- the OP's selection of dishes is a pretty good summary of what not to expect in a pub. Welsh rarebit is really only ever found in Huffkins-style places. The best Huffkins-style place in the area (possibly on the planet) is in Burford: branches in Witney and Stow on the Wold have slightly different menus. The best place for a good English curry is a good English Indian restaurant run by an Englishperson of Bengali parents (though see below), and Burford's Spice Lounge is a perfectly good sample of the genre. Shepherd's pie I'm convinced is now a lost cause outside private houses: it's either microwaved from frozen, bought-in, or poncified in central London gastropubs. Fish & chips is iffy in most pubs (though a reliable staple in Gastropubs Lite - again see below), but works in a few pubs doing fish & chips nights. Nearest: The Plough at Finstock on Tuesdays. The OP missed out Chinese: the Dragon Inn in Burford High St is just as authentic an English eatery (though a bit ancient by most Chinese standards) as any flock-wallpapered Indian place.
- There's an unEnglishly authentic Cantonese place at The Pearl (from the outside, just another Cotswold pub) in Leafield. There's also an unGastropub menu at the Fox down the road, which is a kind of canteen for the nearby Formula 1 car factory (there's a dozen or so around the area).
- There's a war going on between the Gastropub Lites: eating places in pubs that don't do much in creative cookery, but specialise in precise cooking of high-quality, fully traceable ingredients. The war is at its fiercest in Kingham, where Daylesford's new White Rabbit takes on the incumbent Plough Inn. The consensus for a while has been that the Five Alls at Filkins (UK restaurant of the year in 2010, according to the Good Food Guide, which has some prestige in Britain) is the local champion at this, though the nearby Swan at Southrop thinks it disputes that. In all cases, the bar menus might come closer to the brief than the restaurant ones, which are all the stuff the OP's trying to avoid.
- You have to visit the Daylesford mother ship in Daylesford. Though some of the retail prices in the shops are clearly aimed at the Russian kleptocrat market (not insignificant round here, though easily confused with the English investment banker market), the restaurant is close to reasonably priced.
- some other ideas at the local food blog (http://pawsunderthetable.blogspot.co.uk/)Barnaby is NOT Flannerpooch 2.0, BTW.
The author finds it hard to be critical of restaurateurs who share her concern for local, sustainable, blah blah... But her heart's in the right place and there are a few places I've tried as a result that have been OK

I can't possibly improve on flanner's posts. They pretty much cover the territory -- you will find MANY good places to eat in and w/i a few miles of Burford. But the sort of things you seek aren't ''real pub food"
here is the correct link flanner provided.

Thanks flanner for your informative post. Yes, I am looking for something between a gastropub and one that serves tinned soup and frozen pies. Although I have been coming to the UK for some 25 years now, I admit I have little experience with pub meals. Most have been light lunches. I'll certainly check out your suggestions. I lived in Oxford for a year but never ate at St. Aldate's Tavern. Usually spend a night or two in Oxford at the end of my trips so will put it on my list.
Report Abuse
"but never ate at St. Aldate's Tavern."
Wise man. For decades, scotch eggs were the height of its sophistication, then it spent much of the past decade being passed from one private equity owner to another (at one point getting itself rebranded The Hobgoblin).
It started trying interesting food about 18 months ago. For all I know, it might remorph again in the next three weeks. The Kings Arms, BTW, I'd forgotten now does some proper English comfort food - like fish finger sandwiches - and pork pies with a taste
They're almost all repositioning themselves almost every year. Though we're supposed to believe pub food's got better, it's mostly just got pricier and polarised. 40 years ago, when I first got a proper job, I used to live on pub shepherd's or steak & mushroom pies. Now I can only find stuff of that standard if Mrs F or I make them ourselves.
But if you want burgers made from hand-nurtured Aberdeen Angus hung for 42 days...

A bit of a shame that in order to have a decent shepherd's or steak and mushroom pie (another favorite) that we have to bake it ourselves!
I have nothing against the hand-nurtured Angus being hung for 42 days, but it does sound pricey.

The reason that Shepherd's Pie is not really pub food is that traditionally it was made from left-over meat, usually lamb.
A weekend joint was bought and cooked to be served hot as Sunday lunch.
On Monday, it was served cold with fried left-over potato and other vegetables.
On Tuesday. the remains were made into Shepherd's Pie.
The distinctive taste of Shepherd's Pie is because the meat has been cooked before it is minced, and this results in a finer mince. Mince=ground for overseas posters.
Report Abuse
Yes, but the reason shepherd's pie HAS been pub food is that it's jolly easy to get chunks of stewing lamb (usually cheaper per kg than leg meat if you buy them, or even less round here if you took an elderly ewe off a customer's hands), bake them, then mince them and make the pie as if the mince had come from a joint. And that's what pub landladies used to do during what's now looking like the golden age of pub food (late 60's to early 90s).
One problem is that you can't get free elderly ewes (or cows, or sows) any more (they've got to go to a far off abattoir, which costs more than they'll ever ever be worth). Another is that pub landladies don't cook in pub kitchens any more. All sorts of things - mostly to do with the food hygiene cult - have inflated the cost of running a real kitchen, so pubs either go upmarket (hence the £15.95 designer burgers) or pop junk into a microwave.
Either way, the landpartner's often doing an altogether different job anyway, so at least one of them can get a steady income. If the pressure of running a pub hasn't split them up or given one the heart attack.
Not one pub in my microtown has a full time landpartner. They're all dead or in London all week earning a proper wage.
Report Abuse
Perhaps during the "golden age of pub food", landpartners would mince up the remaining meat from the Sunday roast lunches, which were a popular choice at the time. Maybe even mincing and reusing cooked meat is unacceptable now for health reasons, and might not appeal to more ambitious chefs.

Good point.
Recycled butternut squash risotto doesn't quite have the same appeal.

A postscript on shepherd's pie, and the changeableness of Cotswold eating places.
Yesterday, the Flannerpooch 2.0 found a new playmate while on the footpaths, as happens every 10 minutes. Its owner was the chatelaine of one of our more remarkable stately homes, and while the two dogs exhausted each other, their Bosses fell to complaining about the sad state of local pubs, as is the custom of the country.
She waxed excited about new management of the Fox at Lower Oddington - whose menu does include cottage pie (the term now used for shepherd's pie made from meat other than lamb or mutton, though that's a recent pedantry). The Fox's is venison, from roe deer - meat that's constantly in glut round here, because there's a plague of deer and the cullers are in constant demand.
If you want to experiment (the chatelaine's restaurant descriptions implied a reasonably acute palate, though we've not visited) make sure to coincide the visit with likely opening hours of the not quite adjacent St Nicholas' church (there's a newer one in the centre of the village) and carry a torch.
The church does not have artificial lighting, but has a fine medieval Doom, which you almost always need a torch to see properly. So, still, do a few hundred other churches in England - but none, to my knowledge, have a painting to compare with its very late Magnificence (probably the last surviving piece of medieval painting to be put on a wall before the Great Vandalism Henry VIII released, in the most wanton destruction of art the world's ever known)
Personally, I find the most common explanation of the painting (that it's a satire on the Lord of the Manor, Thomas Wolsey) beggars belief: it's known to date from well before the Cardinal's downfall, and he certainly wasn't a man to encourage mockery. Its subject matter and treatment are unique in these islands and a history traveller might be intrigued by the mystery.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the information. Always like to hear about a good pub but, IMO, there is nothing much better than a medieval wall painting and a satire at that! I am definitely intrigued.
Report Abuse
flanneruk, It was very late when I read and responded to your post. I completely missed the point regarding your comment on a satirical nature being assigned to the painting. Indeed I can't imagine Wolsey adhering to any form of mockery. Unfortunately I'm no expert on medieval wall paintings, just an interested observer but, perhaps, a little research and a good look at the painting will help shape my own opinion.

Turning 45 today? A marathon-filled Midlife crisis is on the way
FORGET leather jackets, dyed hair and open-top sports cars – the modern midlife crisis sees men running marathons and renewing their wedding vows.
Men now hit the feared midlife crisis at the ripe old age of 45 – and it lasts just 15 months, according to a study.
Where once they might have sought out affairs with younger women, modern men are more likely to change career, go on a diet or use facial moisturiser.
Nowadays it's more about living for the moment and making the most of things
Other signs include heading off to a music festival, considering a tattoo and downing a daily probiotic drink.
Investing in high-tech gadgets and prestige watches were also indicators.
Some 56 per cent of men are likely to undergo a "lifestyle overhaul" when hitting their mid-40s, the poll conducted by car firm Jeep, sponsors of the Tough Mudder endurance events, found.
A spokesman said: "Nowadays it's more about living for the moment and making the most of things and leading an active and healthy lifestyle."

My passion is to give movement and vibrant colors in my paintings. Being native of Brittany, the western peninsula France, the ocean and its changing colors are a big part of my inspiration. I have always been fascinated by painters like Gauguin, who was able to capture the aspect of light of this part of France.
My style is mostly art figuratif;
I love working with textures, unmixed colors, using a brush and sometimes a palette knife to recreate silhouettes and landscape but also to give something to imagine and to dream.
I started painting 10 years ago, I'm a self-taught artist and what I like the most during open studios is to watch people's reaction to my painting, what they see and what they like.

|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
I have a few questions about this article on Eturia. In the first paragraph it is referred to both as a country and an "important city state" and I'm not sure it was either one -- maybe "confederation of city states" would be better.
In the third paragraph the word "conquered" is particularly misleading. The founding of Rome seems to have been a synthesis of Latin and Etruscan cultures and not a conquest. Also, the claims of the fourth paragraph about the importation of Greek culture are in need of support. 126.96.36.199 18:32, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Partial revamp, Dec 05[edit]
"See also" should be back , it is hard to find link on bottom of the article . Article is really poor somenoe should expend it or make it more cleaned up .
I removed the "see also" section, which is usually, as it was here, a sign of a poor article. Specifically: the language-related items (both the inscriptions and the related languages) properly belong as links under Etruscan language; Cortona was one of fifteen or so major Etruscan cities (I know, supposed to be 12, but in fact there is no general agreement on which 12), so why just this one? Either none or all. Finally the Etruscan civilization link should have appeared, and now does, in the body of the article itself.
The article leaves the impression that Etruria was the land's common name in Antiquity; it was not, neither in Greek nor in Latin, I supplied the customary term. Etruria certainly was not a "Roman province", so I removed that erroneous category. These two small fixes are OK as far as they go, but there's still a whiff of not-quite-right about the article in that respect.
Napoleon's Etruria appeared at the end of the article in a confusingly sudden way; that's fixed. The misstatement was made that most Greek stuff in Rome came via Etruria. By the time of Augustus, to say nothing of later, this was emphatically not true: that was easily fixed by adding "republican".
Properly, Etruria should redirect to Etruscan civilization, since that's where the Wikigods are currently decreeing the main info resides. An attentive reading of the article Etruria, even as fixed, shows that very little of it relates to the land of Etruria, and almost all of it to the civilization. Bill 18:45, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Modern Context[edit]
Didn't the Lega Nord propose dividing Italy into three states? The North was called Padania, the middle Etruria, and the sough something else. I don't want to add this because I'm not sure, but if someone else remembers this it might be usefull.220.127.116.11 02:52, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Evidently there is a semi-new discovery that they had pyramids. Some are being excavated. If any energetic persons wish to include this information in the article, the sources are here(Foxnews) and here (Discovery news). MagnoliaSouth (talk) 21:01, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
