Last weekend I had the unique opportunity to hop on a plane with my husband for a four day trip with the Four Seasons. We arrived in Vancouver on a cold and rainy afternoon and were warmly welcomed by the Four Seasons Vancouver staff. Our room was gorgeous with a delicious platter of local foods to greet us. There was a creative card on the table that read:
B – Brie Farmhouse, Dried Fruit Toast, Aggasiz Hazelnuts – www.farmhousecheeses.com
L – Liquid Mango Ravioli, Exotic Fruit Consomme –www.yewrestaurant.com
O – Oyama & Moccia Charcuterie, YEW Duck Pate, Olives – www.oyamasausage.ca
G – Granville Island Winter Ale – www.gib.ca
The entire trip was amazing, but what really stood out for me was the service. I've been to nice resorts and hotels throughout the years but have never been treated to the courteous, professional, and friendly service I experienced there.
Dinner at YEW was fantastic. The company, the conversation, and above all the food. We ate in the private room surrounded by walls of glass and wine bottles. One of my favorite items the chef served was the "mango ravioli" – a truly unique concoction with sweet mango liquor and a bright burst of mango puree.
Before heading to Whistler we went for a trip over to the Granville Island Public Market. The market is filled with not only produce but many artisan food makers. One bakery sold these divine cinnamon phyllo records. Another establishment sold homemade organic stocks and soups of all kinds!
The best part? Pete was with me.
When we arrived at our suites, the chef had prepared platters of food for us. Mine included a wheel of organic brie, jam, raw local honey, smoked salmon, and dried apples. The chef paid close attention to our preferences. Annie loves Sachertorte (A Viennese chocolate cake) so the chef had one made and waiting just for her upon arrival. Jeremy's twitter handle is "@Penguin" so he found a penguin hand-crafted out of marzipan in his room. This attention to detail is why you stay at the Four Seasons. In my opinion it can't be matched.
Shortly after arriving we had a tour of the resort including the residences. The residences spanned from 1,504 sq. ft. to 3,700 sq. ft. The kitchens were decked out with Viking stoves and built-in Miele espresso stations. Each bedroom has its own large bathroom so they're perfect for large family stays.
The Whistler-Blackcomb ski area sits on two distinct mountains, with one Village. In 2008, they built a gondola that spans from peak to peak. It's the longest unsupported span for a gondola of its kind in the world. The views were so spectacular and majestic that words pale in comparison.
After our morning in the snow we were all sent to the spa for a facial and massage. I was pleased to learn the spa uses organic plant and fruit-based products from Eminence Organics. The robes were plush and cozy, even the waiting room couches are covered in cashmere (sitting in one of those chairs for an hour is worth the price of the spa!).
The highlight of the entire trip for me was the meal chef Tory Martindale carefully prepared for all of us. His attention to detail was unmatched by anything I've ever seen. One of the group members is gluten intolerant so the chef made sure no gluten touched his lips. We sat down and a basket of gluten-free bread arrived. Sidecut is a steak house so of course, I planned to order a steak. When chef Tory described the background of his special selection, I couldn't believe it. The free range cows are organically raised in the Okanagan region of British Columbia. Then the people of Sezmu Meats in Kelowna, B.C. feed them a liter of red wine a day for the last three months of their lives. It intensifies the flavor of the beef and gives it a beautiful red hue. Sidecut is known for their homemade seasoning combinations, but since this steak was different from any I'd tried before, I went for basic salt and pepper. There really aren't words to describe how amazing this steak was. It was truly the best piece of meat I've ever had. I was very quiet during the wonderful meal. The flavors simply blew me away.
The morning before we left, Rachelle and I asked for a tour through the kitchen. The kitchen is incredibly well organized and of course, the pastry station was my favorite. There were all sorts of creations sitting out waiting to be delivered to guests. Getting a baking book recommendation from a pastry chef is high praise; above you can see the books they had on hand.
We give the Four Seasons a "thumbs up" and look forward to taking our girls to experience the service and adventure in the future.

Palm oil in flakes?
I wish I could send the real palm oil to you guys, but I don't know how that'll be possible from here.
I'm no longer in England. Now, I'm in Africa (which is not so bad, I might add, but I prefer England). I mixed race so, that should explain that. My grandmother (from my dad's side) bought a lot of palm oil and sent some over. The palm oil she gets comes straight from the guys who actually extract the oil. Now, that is real, pure, natural palm oil. I had never heard of palm oil flakes till now. I will try the palm oil I have on my hair saaaaaay.....tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll tell you guys what my hair thought of it.
Things I use:
Olive Oil, Canola oil, rosemary oil, aloe vera gel, shea butter, mayonnaise, eggs, milk, bananas
Everything I use is 100% natural. I make most of them myself because then I'm sure what's in it and I'm sure nothing's added, it's pure, it's natural.
Things I avoid:
Mineral oil (codename: Baby oil), heat (I'm a total, no hair driers, no straighteners, no curling irons, no flat irons, no hot combs...nada), sodium chloride
Growing plan:
At least 6 inches longer in a year.

Anonymous Targets Wall Street
The U.S. government may allow bankers to get away with corruption and treason.
The Department of Justice may choose to look the other way when HSBC launders money for terrorists, or when major banks manipulate Libor.
But Anonymous won't.
The hacktivist group's newest mission is called "Operation Wall Street." It announced its targets on its website last Thursday:
It is obvious that the DoJ and other government entities such as the SEC think that it is more important for them to regulate freedom of speech and information rather than to regulate the blatant organized crimes of the financial market. They persecute people like us, Occupy, and Arron Swartz instead of the Bankers and Wall Street executives and CEOs who have robbed Americans of their hard earned tax dollars.
Anonymous has been targeting these higher-ups since the death of Aaron Swartz, co-founder of Reddit, who committed suicide during an investigation into his illegal downloads of JSTOR articles. The hacktivist group claims Swartz as one of their own and believes these investigations were the cause of his death.
Since then the group has hacked into the Federal Reserve, releasing the personal information of over 4,000 bank executives. It publicized 14 gigabytes of information on an alleged Bank of America scandal, providing proof that the company was spying on certain citizens including Anonymous members.
And starting Saturday, the group began releasing data on Wall Street CEOs and other executives. The 4.6 gigabytes of information included personal data and was made public on the group's Twitter, AnonymousIRC.
Anonymous is known for this sort of vigilante justice. In the past the group has targeted rapists and the Westboro Baptist Church among other groups. But it is also known for publicizing private, personal information.
It appears that its campaign against Wall Street will continue. The group demands, "The guilty must pay." And it is unclear just how far this will go.+30

Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro (Early 2010) Reviewed: Shaking the CPU/GPU Balanceby Anand Lal Shimpi on June 9, 2010 12:15 AM EST

TRIM Support On the Way?
Several readers wrote me once they received their new 13-inch MacBook Pros and told me that System Profiler lists TRIM support as an option for SSDs on these systems. I confirmed:
This appears to be limited to the new 13-inch MacBook Pro. I tried my 2nd gen unibody 15-inch as well as the new 15-inch i5/i7 model and neither of them have TRIM listed as an option with an SSD installed. It appears that the driver for the GeForce 320M chipset in the new 13-inch MBP supports TRIM at some level.
The OS still incorrectly identifies SSDs with TRIM support as not supporting the instruction, but I get the feeling we're close to having TRIM support in OS X. At which point we'll be even closer to Apple shipping some halfway decent SSDs in their systems. It's taken this long but we're getting there.

Setsunayaki - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkWhile I am not a fan of Apple by any means in any sector, I like their consistency within battery life. They offer laptops that at least wont discharge rapidly. I don't like the 1280x800 resolution simply because I do more things, and if the resolution was so low...
then I rather opt for something much cooler...
Rather than spend money on this and everything needed to get started, I prefer spending that money to build my own desktop PC to have at home and buy a netbook as well. The combination of the two would be far more valuable for the money, considering in my own usage..
I don't play many 3D games on the road, or do many heavy things on a laptop...unless I am working off-site with a team of course. Reply
intelpatriot - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkIs there that meaningful a difference between a core 2 and an i5 (even an i7), anyway?
I'm guessing it's going to be nothing like the performance gain stepping up a GPU price bracket/generation. Reply
Calin - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkThe performance gain for stepping up a GPU price bracket and/or generation might be zero if you don't even use Aero and the most difficult graphic activity on your laptop are sliding menus.
Games are a totally different thing, and some people don't use games (or other applications) that benefit from high performance graphics.
As for Core2Duo (E6550) versus Core i7 920:
Over 10% faster in worst case (Fallout 3 1680x1050 medium quality), and triple the speed in a couple of benchmarks (Sorenson Squeeze pro5, Cinebench R10 multithreaded). The E6550 is similar (slightly better) to one of the first "high performance" Core2Duo that appeared, and I think the price at launch was somewhat similar. Reply
Howierr - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkHas anyone tried using a X-25M G2 (80gb or 160gb) in the early 2010 MacBook Pro 13", and installing Windows 7 through Bootcamp? I tried this with 2 different brand new X-25M SSDs, and the MacBook has a hard time detecting the SSD consistently on boot up. When installing Windows 7, sometimes no disks are detected, and it takes many reboots to get the SSD to be detected. But after a successful installation, whenever I reboot the MacBook Pro, there is a very good chance that the question mark icon shows up, meaning that it cannot detect any bootable devices.
I installed one of the X-25M into a mid-2009 MacBook Pro 13", bootcamp Winodws 7 and it works flawlessly reboot after reboot.
Could this be an isolated incident, or do all early-2010 MacBook Pro 13s dislike the Intel X-25M G2? Reply
Zok - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkNot quite to your question, but I installed a 160 GB G2 into my 2010 i5 15" MBP and have had no issues whatsoever. There have been reports that the NVIDIA chipset's SATA implementation is somewhat subpar compared to Intel's, as is in the new 2010 15" MBPs. Reply
Jamor - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkWould it be possible to get WoW results in OSX at similar settings?
That'd give something to compare Portal/Half Life results to.
My gut feeling is, the OSX/Win performance difference is more in the drivers and the way OS handles 3D, less in the porting. Reply
Meaker10 - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkHow can a 2 chip platform (core i series) not fit when a 3 chip platform (core 2) already does? Reply
BlendMe - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkWell the Core i platform in itself is a 2 chip solution, but only if you stick with Intel's graphics. If you want something more powerfull you have to go with a discrete GPU which makes it a 3 chip solution (like on the 2010 15" & 17").
The C2D platform in the 13" is a 2 chip solution, because you have the CPU and a Nvidia chipset with integrated GPU, which is much more powerfull than Intel's on-chip graphics.
I am disappointed about the missing Core i in the 13", but then I kinda understand Apple's decision. Reply
gcor - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkLast June I reluctantly bought a 13" MacBook Pro for university as it seemed the only 8+ hr machine with big enough screen and performance to get me through the day.
Having been a Windows person since 3.11 (I used to be a sys admin & software engineer), I was not looking forward to the learning curve of OS-X and becoming savvy enough to fix problems.
I got to say though, the laptop has meet all my needs admirably, with a tiny learning curve. Also, maybe I was just unlucky with the ~15 PC's I had beforehand, but the machine seems rock solid stable in comparison. It's definitely saved me a ton of time in terms of; no BSOD's, no driver compatibility issues, no anti-virus machine hogging, no bloatware, no OS patches killing the machine, etc.
Basically, when I want to use it, I just lift the lid and I'm away. I never turn it off & have re-booted no more than a handful of times in a year.
About the only trouble I've had is the occasional Office crashes (I wonder if the manufacturer has done this intentionally?)
Anyway, after a one year experiment, I feel the additional price has been well worth it. It's an absolute work horse that is always ready to let me get the job done. Other than games, there is nothing I miss from Windows that would convince me to swap back.
To all the die hard Windows folks out there (like I was), if you want a machine to get your job done without needing to mess about with the machine itself, I strongly recommend giving one a go. Keep a PC around for gaming and you'll be fine. Reply
killerclick - Wednesday, June 09, 2010 - linkI've been trying to convince all my moron friends who can't handle Windows to give Mac a try. "It's so simple, an idiot could use it!" I keep saying but to no avail, most of them insist on struggling with an operating system which is clearly too taxing on their mental abilities. I wish we could simply force all Windows users to use a Mac for a day, that would do the trick! Reply

The fact that there are white American players or black foreign players doesn't mean this isn't about race. Again, I pointed out other sports which are predominantly white who have as much if not more violence associated without regards to play and they are not vilified in the same way. They are not described in the same way. This question, whether right or wrong, is never even brought up in those sports. If you would like to use examples that transcend sports, look at the descriptions that describe white bikers brawling or riots after championships in Canada vs. riots of African Americans here in the States. Look at the descriptions.
Listen, it's not right, it's not the way we want it to be, but putting our heads in the sand and pointing out single exceptions does not invalidate what does or doesn't exist in regards to race.
So we can't have a discussion about technical fouls, off-court issues, and how Americans act because these discussions aren't happening on the MLB board or NHL board?
Not what I said. I said it says something that those conversations do not happen on those boards, in spite of the fact that similar or worse behavior is displayed.
Okay...why do I care what people who are baseball or hockey fans discuss? I can't name 10 players in the MLB or the NHL. This discussion is about NBA players(and Americans in general) and the lack of conversations(apparently) from MLB or NHL fans doesn't make this thread "all about race."
Also, you're the one who brought up the word "thug," when other people are discussing how nationalistic American tourists are, how American players have more technical fouls, and how foreign players(most who are black) seem like better role models.

CLEARWATER — The Phillies and general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. agreed to a four-year contract extension Saturday.
Amaro, entering his third season on the job, helped the Phillies to back-to-back NL East titles and the pennant in 2009. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"For the last 2½ years, my opinion is he's done an outstanding job for the organization," team president David Montgomery said.
The Phillies have the most wins in the NL (190-134) in Amaro's first two seasons.
UTLEY UPDATE: All-Star 2B Chase Utley, out with tendinitis in his right knee, has been increasing his workouts in hopes of avoiding surgery and being ready for the season, Amaro said.
Yanks: Shrug it off
VIERA — If there was one hallmark of RHP A.J. Burnett's awful 2010, it was that when things went bad, they often stayed that way.
So when Michael Morse hit a two-run homer in the second inning of the Nationals' 6-5 victory over the Yankees, it was interesting to see how Burnett would react.
He reacted fine, retiring three straight to end the inning. He wound up allowing just the two runs and two hits in four innings.
"Got hit, gave up the bomb and didn't really care," Burnett said. "Get back on the mound and get the next three guys."
GOOD NEWS: Yankees LHP Kei Igawa has spoken with his family in northern Japan and is returning home after an 8.9-magnitude earthquake and tsunami devastated the country.
Jays: No control
DUNEDIN — A day after being named the Blue Jays' opening-day starter, LHP Ricky Romero was lit up in a 6-4 win over the Pirates, allowing four runs on four hits and five walks in 32/3 innings.
"It was just I had no idea where my fastball was going," Romero told the Toronto Star. "It felt good in the bullpen. … I don't think it's anything to worry about."
STILL HURTING: OF Scott Podsednik was scratched a day after his spring debut because of continued pain with the plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA.; Februrary, 17, 2012 - The No. 59 Penn State Nittany Lions (5-2, 1-0) defeated the Pennsylvania Quakers (3-2, 0-0) with a resounding 7-0 victory on Friday night at the Sarni Tennis Center.
The win marked the fifth straight for the Nittany Lions, who are ranked for the first time since Feb. 22, 2008. Penn State was coming off consecutive wins against ranked opponents Ohio State and VCU.
Penn State started the match off strong with a commanding 8-3 victory by the duo of Petra Januskova (Ottawa, Canada) and Chelsea Utting (Peachtree City, Ga.) over Pennsylvania's Stephanie Do and Alex Ion. With the lead in doubles, Marie Bedard (Montreal, Canada) and Fernanda Perrotta (Buenos Aires, Argentina) handily defeated Pennsylvania's Jules Rodin and Srinidhi Raghavan, 8-1, to clinch the doubles point.
In the final doubles match Carmen Sandor (Toronto, Canada) and Sarah Henderson (Bloomington, Ind.) battled through extra sets as they defeated Daniela DePaoli and Emma Whitfield, 8-7 (1) for the doubles sweep.
In first singles, No. 43 Januskova proved her recently acquired ranking by defeating Penn's Do in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0. The junior is now 7-0 in singles play including wins over two ranked opponents. Sandor continued the trend as she quickly defeated DePaoli, 6-3, 6-2, to push the Nittany Lion lead to 3-0. In fourth singles, Perrotta bested Raghavan, 6-4, 6-2, clinching the fifth straight win for the No. 59 Nittany Lions.
With the win in hand, Utting fought in a back-and-forth battle with Ion in second singles as she won the match, 6-4, 6-3. In fifth singles, Bedard powered her way past Penn's Rodin, 6-2, 6-2 behind several hard-hitting forehands.
Kristen Roth held off Whitfield after a tough second set to win the tiebreaker and give the Nittany Lions a clean sweep with her victory in sixth singles, 6-3, 2-6, 10-4.
The Nittany Lions will look to improve on their win streak on Sunday, Feb. 19 when they take on the Tulane Green Wave at the Sarni Tennis Center at 10 a.m.

Sleep deprivation has already set it for new dad Joseph Fiennes, who welcomed a daughter with his wife Maria Dolores Dieguez on Monday.
"I'm on my knees," admits the proud papa, who has been sleepy on the busy set of his show FlashForward.
Exhaustion aside, Joseph says of the early days of fatherhood: "It's a beautiful experience, the best experience of my life. It puts everything in perspective."
The baby girl, whose name is still not known, is the first child for the couple.

The Government Accountability Office has prepared a report, that the Associated Press scooped, in which the GAO says outdated federal policies, poor information sharing with states and too many industry exemptions have resulted in minimal federal oversight of U.S. facilities that stock ammonium nitrate fertilizer.
The AP article claims the report shows the Homeland Security Department's database of ammonium nitrate storage facilities in the U.S. actually only lists two-thirds of the actual storage sites in the country.
"The GAO faulted the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency for decades-old chemical safety regulations that have failed in large part to cover ammonium nitrate," the AP article contends.
The report was shared with members of Congress, some of whom were outraged with the report's findings and all the safety lapses recounted in the report.

Terra a Mexican internet company is helping to clean up parks in Mexico City by offering free wi-fi access in exchange for dog poop. As part of their creative incentive program, in partnership with ad agency DDB Mexico, special pet waste disposal bins were installed in ten parks.
When dog owners throw bags of poop into the bin, it calculates the weight and Terra gives everyone in the park free minutes of wi-fi. Wait a minute did I just read that right? Not only does the dog owner get free Wifi but everyone in the park benefits. Seems more like a dog appreciation advocacy program to get those living in Mexico City to see dogs as having a positive role in their lives. The greater the weight, the more minutes are added so the itty bitty Chihuahua might not be making many new friends but that Great Dane or Mastiff will be making a ton of new friends whenever they go to the park. There are even hostesses nearby during the day, passing out plastic bags to dog owners.
The video is in Spanish but you could even turn off the volume and still understand the message.

The Gaels pounded out 12 hits on the afternoon, outhitting UVU, but could not come up with the key hits late. The Gaels loaded the bases in the seventh inning but could not push across the key runs.
DonAndre Clark had a career-high four hits, while Brenden Kalfus, Anthony Villa and Shawn O'Brien had two hits apiece. The Gaels did a good job of hitting with two outs, getting RBI from Kalfus, Villa and Collin Ferguson.
Ryan Brockett (1-3) took the loss for the Gaels, running into some tough luck. He went 4.2 innings, allowed five hits and four runs, but just one of the runs were earned. He struck out four and walked one. Tanner Kichler, Jacob Valdez, Thomas Cortese and Gary Cornish all saw action in relief.
The winning pitcher went to Adam Gunn (2-3). The Gaels got 10 hits off Gunn, but only three runs. Tory Ulibarri recorded the final out for the save.
Saint Mary's started things off right with two runs in the first inning on RBI from Villa and Ferguson, both coming with two outs. Down 2-1, UVU scored three runs in the fifth to take the lead and never give it back. The Gaels got one run back in the bottom of the fifth, but UVU added insurance runs in the seventh and eighth innings.
SMC is back in action on Tuesday when it hosts Sacramento State at 3:00 p.m. This will be the final home game for the Gaels before opening up WCC play against Loyola Marymount.

Art and recycling specialist .To provoke curiosity I experiment with both media and imagery . I work in 2 D (paint, collage, textiles ,mixed media ) and 3D. Using junk and surplus materials (recycling) is a speciality. I just love to see how and if materials will work together.The work is stylised but recognisable and often there is a story. I draw a lot on humour and the absurd . Recurring themes include : exaggeration, the patterns found in written foreign script.. and peoples faces. I have travelled extensively, so I frequently dip into those memories and influences .The direction of my work is enriched by work as an artist in education. Other influences : food and cooking, the architecture and hubbub in cities, particularly Istanbul, London... Cycling from A to B , sea swimming . I have been a visual artist for 25 years : from fine art to textile design to illustration and back again ( if you like categories) and for the past 15 years I've also worked very enjoyably in education and other sectors of the community, with all ages and abilities. I work in schools, galleries, museums, care homes, etc. Sessions are as diverse as: inspiring 40 NHS executives to let their imaginations literally hang out (using junk as the medium), to embossing on to clay plates with patients in a hospice and experimenting with fabric and print, with clients who have Alzheimers. The bulk of my work in education is in Primary Schools, but I also often work with pre-school age children and or their families. Residences range from two weeks to six months. I have trained other artists and also take staff training and development sessions ( with youth workers and pre school staff and primary school teachers). I regularly work with people who have special needs including people with mental health and drug / alcohol dependency issues. I have illustrated for newspapers (a regular series of recipe illustrations for The Weekend Guardian) and magazines including: The Big Issue, The Illustrated London News, Hair & Black Beauty, International Textile magazine ,Computer Shopper, G .P Magazine, TNT, SuperMarketing ,SkyLife , Homes & Gardens,T.V.

Hoeness blames Klinsmann as title hopes fade away
General manager Uli Hoeness has placed most of the blame for Bayern Munich's disappointing season at the feet of former coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
The Bavarians risk failing to qualify for the Champions League if they lose to Stuttgart in their final game of the season - when a win could still be enough for them to rise to the summit of the table for the first time all year and clinch the title.
However, Hoeness remains disappointed with the way Klinsmann seemingly made his team worse than it was last season.
"We have never played as well in the Bundesliga this season as we did last year when we dominated the league with a team which was certainly no better than the one we had this year," he said.
"Therefore, there is certainly room for criticism when, one year later, you don't do the same again with the same or even slightly better team."
Last summer, Klinsmann took over from Ottmar Hitzfeld, who won a league and cup double in 2007-08 while leading Bayern to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.
Upon his arrival, he revolutionised the way the club was run, ordering changes to the training facilities and regime, but he was sacked last month after a defeat to Wolfsburg left them lagging behind in the race for the title.
Hoeness stopped short of pinning all of the blame on Klinsmann, but for the first time since telling him to pack his bags, he admitted he had made mistakes.
"Jurgen Klinsmann does not carry all of the blame, but one thing is clear - we cannot be happy with the work he has done," said Hoeness on ZDF television.
"We still feel that the material we gave him to work with as coach was better than what we got out of it in the end.
"We certainly expected more from the appointment of Klinsmann."
Caretaker coach Jupp Heynckes now has one game left to rescue the season and at least book Bayern a place in the Champions League next season.
Winning the title is no longer the target, according to Hoeness.
He said: "We are only looking at Stuttgart now and what happens in Wolfsburg doesn't play a role.
"We have got to concentrate on our direct rivals for second place.
"Thank god it is all in our own hands. A win will make this second place 100% ours.
"It is going to be a nervy game. Both teams can win the league, both can finish second to go into the Champions League directly, but both also risk falling down to fourth and that would be fatal."

If laughter is the best medicine, then the hundreds of seniors at the Somerset Civic Centre in Esk last Friday must be the healthiest people in the region.
They were there to celebrate Seniors Week, an annual event hosted by Somerset Regional Council for residents to join together and celebrate the valuable contribution of older people.
The event forms part of national Senior Week Celebrations held from 16 to 24 August and heading the bill at Esk were the talented duo, Two Old Ducks, who held a live cooking demonstration.
The Esk Bush Bashers also performed their toe-tapping music in front of the 300-strong crowd with some assistance from Somerset Mayor Graeme Lehmann.
The Bush Bashers have been going strong for two decades playing their unique brand of music with piano, accordions, bass guitar, mouth organ, bush bass (an old tea chest) and lager phone (think bottle tops).
Mayor Lehmann said it was a fantastic day.
"It was a great celebration of the achievements and accomplishments made by seniors in our community," Cr Lehmann said.
"I would like to say a special thank you to the seniors in Somerset as well as all the local businesses, school students and organisations who made the event a huge success."
Bill Rose's Old Fernvale Bakery donated scrumptious slices and uniquely decorated muffins for morning tea while hospitality students from Toogoolawah State High School helped to cater.
The MC was local nutritionist Brady Schulz who said the event celebrated the wisdom and valuable contributions of elderly people.

It may take a while for the skeptical fans of Chicago to put their trust fully in Marc Trestman but at least he's off to a good start.
After five years at the helm of the Montreal Alouettes, Trestman finally landed a head coaching job with the Chicago Bears and brings an offensive touch to a team that has, for generations been identified with tough, bruising defence.
Even with cornerstones like quarterback Jay Cutler, wide receiver Brandon Marshall and running back Matt Forte, Trestman's complicated offence has been a challenge for the Bears to learn this summer.
After test-driving it through the pre-season, even Cutler didn't know quite how things might go on Sunday against a very good Cincinnati Bengals team.
"There were a lot of question marks," Cutler said. "How were we going to do on offence? Are the plays going to work? Are we going to be able to block them? Am I going to complete balls? So to go out there, it wasn't pretty, it wasn't perfect, we didn't think it was going to be. We made plays when we had to make plays."
In the end, the Bears were able to take advantage of the special connection that has developed between Cutler and Marshall, not to mention some undisciplined plays down the stretch by the Bengals defence for a 24-21 victory.
After falling behind 21-10 to the Andy Dalton-led Bengals, Cutler engineered a nine-play drive of 80 yards, capped by a Forte plunge for the TD late in the third quarter, then another eight-play, 81-yarder, capped by a 19-yard TD strike to Marshall in the fourth to win it.
"I think it tested us and our backbone because it didn't go the way we wanted it to go, certainly, in the first half," said Trestman. "But the guys hung in there together, at halftime pulled themselves together and the team went out and played every play and were able to come out on top."
As the clock ticked down in the fourth quarter, the Bears were playing keep-away but just when it appeared the Bengals would get the ball back with over a minute remaining, veteran Bengal linebacker Ray Malaluga lost his mind and was assessed a roughing penalty for an incident far away from the play. From there Cutler was able to kneel down the rest of the way.
Cutler has been instrumental in rallying the Bears offence around Trestman's offence. The quarterback and key offensive personnel spent many late nights at training camp going over and over the new schemes.
''It was just a new offence,'' Cutler said. ''I don't know if (Trestman) did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he put a lot of pressure on the quarterbacks for learning the offence, and in turn, the best way for us to learn the offence was to coach the other guys and help them learn the offence and the formations.''
You might not have blamed Cutler had he been slow to buy in. He has already lived through one offensive revolution wrought by Mike Martz in 2010, Cutler's first year in Chicago. That resulted in Cutler getting almost killed under an avalanche of 52 sacks.
Trestman maintains there is nothing gimmicky about his approach. He's not trying to re-invent the wheel, just trying to expose the talent at his disposal in the best way. In the process, Cutler has been a key ally.
''The offence we ran in Montreal was customized for that league,'' Trestman told the Chicago Sun-Times. ''We're not bringing things that are customized for that league back into this league. We're not experimenting — we're not experimenting with things we did up there to see if they'll work here.''
This opener was a stern test and not just for Trestman's offence. The Bears defence is operating for the first time this century without Brian Urlacher who, for 12 years was the heart of soul of this version of the Monsters of the Midway.
At times Sunday, the Bengals moved up and down the field at will, bullying the Chicago defensive backfield with their two-tight-end offence, that includes Jermaine Gresham (6-foot-5, 260) and Tyler Eifert (6-foot-6, 250). Wide receivers A.J. Green and Mohamed Sanu were also having their way with corners Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings.
"They didn't stop us one time," Green said. "They didn't really stop us on offence. We were doing whatever we wanted. The biggest thing we had was turnovers."
But, in the end, the Bears were able to impose their offensive will on the outcome. Whatever the differences and however complex it has been to learn, there has to be one very important bit of comfort after Cutler's first regular season game in this new regime: Under the heading of sacks, there was a zero and that's always a good thing.

Wow, this thread will take us into October! wohoo! I am really wanting the days to hurry up to the second trimester because I am hoping that means I will feel a lot better. DS has a fever of 102 and chest congestion which has made nights not so restful as well as days. He is still just as sweet and happy, just more clingy and lethargic at times. I am glad I am still nursing but it feels exhausting right now. I didn't know I had it so good!
Well, welcome swinging emotions! I had a really hard week with lots of different things going on and I can tell that I am just not as emotionally even as I was pre pg. I remember w DS I was super emotional and it turns out, same thing with this one. Life has been kind of blah this week and I am feeling kind of blue. I don't like to be a downer.
I do have a mw appt on Wednesday and I can't wait to hear the heart beat. I feel like I have been waiting forever to hear it. I will be 12 weeks and we scheduled it later so that DH can come. It is sweet because he had said that he would have to miss them bc of work and we agreed it was fine. He was in school with DS so he could come, well, at our appt w the mw he wanted to schedule it so he could come if at all possible. It is just nice to see him connecting. It took him a while to really connect on a deeper level with DS while I was pg. Now that he gets the whole thing, he is really even more supportive, it is great!
That's great that your DH can go to the appointment. It is so different this time for us too--DH went to every single appointment last time, so far this time none--he stays with DD. I thought I would mind but so far I don't. I know that later on, they can both come but sometime it's nice to just have the focus on my and not pulling DD off the banister (or wherever she has found to climb/investigate) as my MW is in an old house. I picked out/interviewed my MW and DH had some questions for me to ask but overall, I feel good about taking charge of the process. I'd ideally like an unassisted childbirth but he's way more comfortable with a MW around and I think I can handle that level of compromise, though I've threatened to kick everyone out of the way if need be during delivery.
My mom arrives late tomorrow for 19 days to help out (from way out of state). Hope that goes OK--she's got an annoying habit of constantly asking questions as her main form of communication (even things she knows the answer to) and it's a big trigger for me because it's gotten sooooo old. Hope I can keep my reactions in check! I think I'm starting to feel better (13 weeks now) and could have really used the help sometime the last 6 weeks but for many reasons, we felt we didn't want to/couldn't tell family until we hit 13 weeks so I guess that's moot! She honestly would have been so busy with some stuff I would have felt incredibly guilty pulling her away from that. DD(age 6) will LOVE having all the attention from my mom, even if I'm feeling somewhat better now. Looking forward to my 2nd long midwife appointment this week too--woo hoo!! But I'm still not using doppler and with my tilted uterus, I imagine this appointment could be rather boring.
Hope everyone else is starting to feel better!

Yeah, I have to say, I kind of enjoy going to some of the midwife appointments on my own, and having the whole family at some of the appointments. It's great to get them involved, hearing the heart beat and measuring the uterus and getting to know the midwives, but it's also nice to be able to really talk without interruptions, about topics that I don't necessarily want to include my older kids in, and also to have a chance to really focus solely on this new baby. Anyways, we'll see how it all pans out.....
As for UC, you know I had a friend who wanted to UC but her DH was extremely uncomfortable with the idea. They were able to come up with a compromise where their midwife sat in a friend's apt. down the hall from there's, and the husband would check in with her every once in a while by phone but my friend was left to do her thing as she desired. The only thing was they used a non-registered midwife, I don't know if a registered midwife could have accomodated their needs?
I feel good most of the time, but usually ready for bed by 6. Nauseousness is fine as long as I'm eating constantly, but WOW, I've gotten hungry a few times over the last couple of days, and WATCH OUT WORLD!!!!! I feel gross and snappy and focused only on getting food, but then nothing even looks good so I whine and melt down - good times. I think I need to get better at packing high protein snacks with me EVERYWHERE:-)
mood swings and hunger issues, oh the fun of pregnancy. lol. I woke up at almost 4am to throw up...and I had thought I was over being sick. Hubs was nice and woke up to check on me. Now I am still awake. :rolleyes
I don't think I have ever had a midwife appointment all by myself. With the first I always had Hubs with me, and then after that I always had a kid or two. Hubs will probably come to some with me. I bet it would be kind of neat to not have to chase a kid around or deny their request to read a book.
I have my first appt thursday, I am so anxious for it. I'm 13 weeks now.
Courtney and Cree, baby made 3, added one more then there were 4, sakes alive, then we had 5, another in the mix now we have 6!

I am 11 weeks now and except for the occasional "OMG I'm hungry NOW!" moments, I'm feeling pretty darn normal. :p I have finally had a couple of baby dreams, which eases my worried mind, though the one last night had me giving birth by myself to a little girl who was breech. I wonder if part of the reason she was breech in my dream was so I couldn't see her hair colour! LOL Yesterday my daughter came up to me and told me there was a boy and a girl in my belly, and that they both had red hair and green eyes.

Do you guys count the third trimester after completing the 12th week, or the 13th?
flavorful - Sorry about the ups and downs and rough week. And Yay for husbands who want to be involved in appointments and such, and for MW who will be flexible around that. :)
Thursday - Good luck with the first appointment. :)
hazel - be sure to let us know how your daughters prediction turns out. She must be excited about a little sibling.
beaner - DH and I developed a keyword - food crazies. When the food crazies arrive, clear the area and take shelter! Unfortunately I have developed a need for bagels. After a couple years of no bagels, I'm not eating one almost every day, and it's like an addiction. I do not want to be eating bagels! Hello GD! What do you use for high protein snacks? In the past I've always used chunks of cheese, but I need some variety.
Rasa - Sounds like you've got a really supportive family. Good stuff. :)
RosieL--food crazies--that's a great description! I don't remember this from last time but have started to experience it this pg. I get about one stomach growl warning and then I'm biting DH's head off about why the food I requested isn't in my hands already (yes, good times, as biener&tiegs said ) not that I even really feel like eating. High protein snacks are still tough for me--I'm technically dairy free due to allergy, though I've been able to stomach some dairy with lots of digestive enzyme, I don't like to push it. Was using nuts early on but the paste they turn to in my mouth (um...nut butter?) is really hard to swallow. Really not digging meat yet and had a bad experience with hard boiled eggs recently, sigh. wish there were protein pills! Hopefully by the time I really need protein to help with the rapid baby growth coming up, I'll actually feel like eating again! I made some coconut custard recently that's going down pretty well and that has egg in it (but it's not really portable).
RosieL--I count 2nd trimester as the beginning of week 13 (and that's what my online counter says too).

My "food crazies" seem to be easing a little, but everything is happening with one step forward and two back *sigh*. I'll think my appetite is back and even worry I'll be eating too much (as I was this morning) and then suddenly feel queasy all over again and food is the farthest thought from my mind (like it is the afternoon). Oh well, I haven't gained anything yet, but since I started overweight I'm trying not to concern myself about it too much.

Yay for those who are almost to 2nd trimester and feeling better!!
I seem to be getting some energy back and am glad about that, although I recently have found myself to get really gassy, it's embarrassing. Otherwise, I still have crazy food aversions and still get nauseous in the evening. When I do have food cravings, it's for food I can't eat like a Taco Bell burrito (I have celiacs and multiple food allergies), or a biscuit with cheese and gravy, etc.
12 weeks today! Woot!
DSS got to hear the heartbeat earlier this week with my work doppler. We'd tried once before unsuccessfully as the baby was being shy, so this time he knew all about how to put the gel on, where to put the wand, how to turn it on. It was loud and clear right away and he was so proud of himself!
My current favourite high protein snack ideas:
- cottage cheese (the 4% is sooo good)
- greek yogurt with hemp hearts and honey or agave syrup
- almond butter on apple slices
- hummus and rice crackers or veggies for dipping
- hard boiled eggs
- mixed nuts with a few pieces of dried fruit to keep it interesting
- dry-fried marinated tofu slices (using this method)
I have food crazies too but it's getting a bit better. I have realized that no matter how much I eat at a time, I'm hungry again 2-3h later, so I'm working on portion control so I don't end up eating 6 full-size meals a day.
We've been looking at this timeline for how big the baby is every week. It's a bit macabre but every week we try to eat the fruit that's the same size as baby. Key lime pie last week was pretty tasty!

lalazap - That site is so awesome! It makes me wish that my other kiddos knew about the baby so that they could "follow" along. I'm bookmarking it for when they do know though.
Married to DH 7 years and have three fantastic kiddos! DS 6, DD 4, and DS 2 ...... lo and behold another is on the way!
Today I finally broke down and wore maternity pants. I'm 11wk 3d. I didn't wear maternity clothes until well into week 15 last time. I have my next appointment on Wednesday and I am really looking forward to hearing the heartbeat again. DH has insisted that he come to all the doctor's appointments again this time and it is really nice that he is interested already. Started to feel a little better this week but still not great yet. Super excited to be in the 2nd trimester soon!
Hope everyone starts to feel better soon and the food crazies go away!

11 weeks now. I don't have a MW appt. til Oct. 6, but I am looking forward to that. I did get to see her yesterday and a local natural birth event, and that was good. Last time Dh was there for the 1st interview appt. and the one near the very end, but that was basically it. She came to us for every appt, and I tried to schedule them during DS's naptime so I could focus. For my first appt, DS will be at preschool and just DD will be home, so we'll see how that goes. I may try to schedule for DD's naptime on days DS has school!\
We are really telling more people about the baby now. I haven't heard a heartbeat yet, but my fundus finally made an appearance and is rising daily, so I feel like all is well.
Blueone-I am with you on the gas issue. Earlier, when I was more nauseated, I would lay down in bed at night and have to sit back up for some huge belches. DH would even pat my back like a baby. Now he and I are both wishing it was just the burps...

Maybe I should start a maternity clothes advice thread; I have no idea where to start looking!
I had 2 jeans that I wore throughout my last pregnancy, from 6 weeks until 42. This is part of why I prefer the under the belly style.
The pants that I have are over or under the belly lightweight cargos and they worked for me all last pregnancy. However, I couldn't wear the jeans I got past the 2nd trimester. I've found that some clothes will last and others will not. It really just depends on how stretchy and comfortable they are.

Late Sept/Early Oct. Living with Factor V Leiden (7/12).
Hi all! I'm 10 weeks today :) I'm still feeling nauseous, early mornings, and late afternoons. No puking yet, just a general sick feeling. It's the smells that kill me. I swear there is a smell in my house that just turns my stomach. I've cleaned every surface, but it's still there. It sounds crazy, but I think it's the varnish on the wood trim and window casings (my husband thinks I'm nuts). I've been pretty tired and emotional as well, but nothing major. And crampy! Like menstrual cramps that come and go.
I had my first midwife appt on Friday. It was great! I feel very lucky to have gotten in with such a great midwife, as they are in very high demand where I live (especially now that they're covered by our provincial healthcare) My husband came with me, and he really liked her too. He's generally a very nervous type person, but he said that he felt really at ease with her.
I was worried about twins at the beginning of the pregnancy (as my hcg levels tripled in 48 hours) so the midwife checked my fundal height, and she couldn't feel uterus yet, so she said that was a good sign that it's not twins...we'll have to wait and see.
Looking forward to getting to know you all the months tick by :)
"Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern... it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that . . . one stitch at a time, taken patiently." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
I also prefer the under the belly style of pants. The over the belly pants make me feel like I'm 86 and that I should be tucking my shirt into the top of my pants. They drive me nuts!
I also think when it comes to maternity pants that how you gain weight matters. I'm able to wear the same pants the entire time because, at least last time, I only got bigger in the belly. Obviously if you get bigger in the hips and thighs it's probable you'll need to get larger pant sizes.
I personally am trying to avoid maternity clothes all together. I have some of my old jeans that I wear with a belly band, and then for the most part I'm wearing stretch pants with wrap skirts over them. Unless I end up enormous they should work all the way to the end.
Shirts on the other hand I am having trouble with. I'm not a fan of big baggy maternity shirts, and my t-shirts are all feeling too short (belly sticks out at the bottom). Hopefully I'll find something inexpensive that works for me.
Brande: Mama of 5 and perpetual student.
I am glad I am not the only gassy one!! We went to visit my dad who lives 4 hours away and all I kept hearing was Momma was that you or the pig farms this time. LOL!
I am 10 weeks today and had to start wearing my belly band and maternity jeans this weekend. Thursday night and all day on Friday I had the most horrible stabbing pains. It felt like someone was stabbing me with an icepick. My doctor assured me that it was round ligament pains and that they were normal. I almost let out an "ouch" in the middle of a meeting Friday. The pains stopped Friday night and Saturday morning I woke up to a little round belly. It feel pregnant but looks like I just gained a few pounds. Has anyone else had round ligament pains yet? My DD is 11 so I don't remember for sure if I experienced them with her.
Me (34) DH (33) We are the proud parents to Rebecca (11) and we are all three excited to welcome our newest addition April 20th.
She's here!

I am 12 weeks 3 days and thought I was finally feeling better and then wham - it felt like week 8 all over again! I woke up puking this morning, lovely. I hope this is short-lived and I will feel better again soon. I've been wearing maternity clothes since about 6 weeks but I don't feel like I've really gotten any bigger between 6 and 12, thankfully I have a couple of friends who are done having kids and they gave me their maternity clothes. That along with what I have from my ds will hopefully get me through this pregnancy without having to buy anything new. As far as the round ligament pain, OUCH! It is much more severe this time around. It is actually a little scary because when it is happening I question where the pain is coming from, but it always goes away. Glad to hear that everyone is starting to feel a little better and I'm thrilled that the second trimester is right around the corner!
I've had some rounf liga,ment pain as well. It sucks.
I have also had the oh yeah, I feel ebteer only to get sick again, but the sickness is short lived thankfully. I spent sunday from 3:50-5:30 puking, that was fun.
so I am 13 weeks 1 day, my first appt is thursday but I am goign in today to hear the heartbeat b/c I simply cant stand it. When i lay down it feels like my uterus is a rock inside of me instead of a living thing and it has me freaked out. Luckily the birth center was really cool about it even if my husband was questionable about my inability to wait 3 days. silly I know, unreasonable, yes. But i just have to.
maternity clothes. I have some that won't fit the whole pregnancy and 1 pair of pants that only fits at the end.

I am 11w2d today and had an OB appointment and US. The baby is measuring on target with a heartbeat of 166 and very active already. I did find out that I will be having a cerclage on Friday to keep my cervix fro opening up to soon. I have this problem with DS but not until after 30wks. The doctor did an internal exam and my cervix is already soft and pliable. I know that it is the best but still nervous about having the procedure done.
As for maternity clothes I was able to wear most of my maternity pants throughout my last pregnancy without having to buy more. I had some tops that did not work towards the end. I had one pair of jeans that I had to pin early in my PG but they worked fine for the end.
Feeling pretty good but still tired.
Good luck to everyone.

Do what you gotta do! I don't think its silly at all. The entire 1st Tri is a long time to wait to hear Baby.
Hi everyone! I'm at 12 weeks tomorrow--and starting to ease into maternity clothes. I found some at a thrift store this weekend, which is a big help, since I don't really know what I'm doing. Spending $11 on a bag of options seems much less scary than shelling out $50 or more for each pair of leggings! I did go buy one of those belly band things, though, which is also nice since I can't button most of my pants anymore.
That seems like a great strategy! I wish I had a consignment shop with maternity nearby. I'm still in regular clothes and still down about 5 lbs. from pre-pg weight. This time I started off about a size 8 wearing size 10 pants; last time I was a size 8 wearing size 6, so I guess I outgrew things earlier. I also gained weight more quickly last time. From my old photos it looks like I was in maternity clothes (for work, at least) by ~11 weeks for my first pg. I'm slowly collecting things that I find on sale/cheap, but I can't keep mat pants up yet.
As for baby, s/he's still got me bleeding. I made and then canceled an appt for tomorrow with my midwife group. Then found that DH was more upset than I thought he would be because I'm still bleeding, so I called and they agreed that I could stop by tomorrow just to check on baby's heart tones. I feel like everything is okay though.
1st MW appt is scheduled for October 24th!! I'll be 15 weeks then, seems like a long way away, but that was the soonest she could get me in. Still haven't heard the hearbeat, so anxious about that. She doesn't do u/s, so I'd have to get an OB for that, and I'd rather just avoid the OB office altogether. I don't need someone hassling me b/c I'm having a home birth, ykwim?
Maternity clothes: W/ DD, I was way more plus sized than I am now, and it was impossible to find anything. I ended up getting 4X and 5X stretchy knit pants w/ elastic waistbands and wearing men's 3X shirts toward the end. This time, I'm still in regular clothes, just 1 size bigger, (I'll be 11 weeks on Wednesday). I'm looking into getting a belly band this time, so I can have some more options. Hoping to not gain too much weight, so I can wear what I have.
I finally pooped!! LOL!! I skipped my vitamins for a couple of days, hated to do it, but that did the trick. Nothing else worked. I feel SO MUCH BETTER!
~Christy , mom to DD Sage (12-2003) and DS Isaac (04-2012) , wife to Josh .
remark71 - Best wishes on your procedure! Do they remove the cerclage once you hit a certain # of weeks or just wait for labor to begin?
justKate - Sounds like you have some awesome and accomodating midwives :)
Christy1980 - Glad you're feeling better! It's the little things that matter most, no?
Believing, doting, simplifying, caffeinating, baking, midwife in training, and mothering like a dirty hippie.
#3 due in April!
Cheap Sunglasses: Yes they will remove it at 37weeks or earlier if I go into labor before then.

Before professional golfers hit the links at the BuickInvitational PGA Tour golf tournament at Torrey Pines Golf Course,the Century Club will host a Military Appreciation Lunch today atHilton La Jolla Torrey Pines.
More than 400 military personnel, members of the Century Club of San Diego and PGA Tour Players are scheduled to attend the luncheon honoring local service members.
World War II and Korean War Marine pilot and New York Yankees Hall of Fame infielder Jerry Coleman is the guest speaker for this year's event, where the Century Club will present more than $75,000 worth of checks to military causes.
Among the charities that will benefit are: Fisher House Foundation, Armed Services YMCA; Wounded Warrior Barracks; Operations Home Front, San Diego; Family Literacy Foundation and Coast Guard Relief.
Founded in 1961, the Century Club of San Diego is a nonprofit volunteer organization that has raised more than $13 million for community causes and school programs.
In addition, Rancho Santa Fe resident Pete Mickelson has quietly donated thousands of dollars since 2004 to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which has provided $1.5 million in scholarships and assistance to the children of special operations warriors killed in the line of duty since 9/11.
Mickelson has also provided contributions to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation through his "Birdies for the Brave," where he donates $100 for every birdie he makes and $500 for every eagle he scores, to the foundation.
SENIORS SOUGHT - The Oceanside Senior Volunteer Police Patrol is seeking volunteers to attend its 4 p.m. March 5 orientation class in the Community Room in Oceanside's Branch Library at 3855 Mission Ave., next to the police department headquarters.
Senior volunteer Harry Titus said the first meeting will outline the course of instruction for all volunteers, who must be at least 50 years old to apply. People do not have to be Oceanside residents to work in this program.
"Due to people moving, changes in people's lives, we could use at least 15 new candidates for this class," Titus said. Call (760) 435-4763.

What hours is the Lido area open?
What hours is the Lido area open?
I'll give you my 2 cents since no one else has responded. I have only taken 2 HAL cruises (Amsterdam'06 & Zuiderdam'04) so there is a bit of memory work involved here. There is a Lido pool area with BBQs/pizza and there is the Lido buffet. The pool area is open all the time but the pool and hot tubs are netted over at night. I never used the BBQ/pizza pool side but I believe it was only available at meal times. I prefer not to hang out at the Lido pool because of the high amount of smokers. The aft pool area is the place to be. Out in the open with the breeze in your hair.
The Lido buffet is open for coffee/tea/iced tea/water 24 hours but they do not serve meals 24 hours. But I remember snacks being available all the time (I try to stick to 3 good meals when on board to avoid to added weight gain) (but that does not work, could be the amount wine consumed).
Last October on the Zuiderdam, there is coffee and iced tea 24 hours in the Lido. It is open at 6:30 for "continental breakfast" (danish, cold cereal, yougurt, juice, fruit) - 7:30 for breakfast buffet. Closed at 10:30 to switch for lunch. Lunch buffet 11:30 - maybe 3:00? Not quite sure - the Terrace Grill was open longer. Dinner buffet was from 5:30 (maybe) - 10:00 or 10:30. Closed until 11:30 for Midnight Buffet at 11:30. The ice cream stand was open until 11:00 every night.
We cruised in April 07 Volendam. There times were:
Lido restaurant is open 7:00am - 11:00am
Buffet breakfast 7:30-10:30am
Lunch Buffet - 11:30am-2:30pm
Deli & Salad Bar- 11:30am -5:00pm
Casual Dinner -6:00pm - 7:30pm
Coffee and Tea available 24hrs
We are aboard the Statendam in late July, do you suppose that the hours of operation quoted here are the same? Is the name "Llido" used on all HAL vessels to describe this dining area?
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 04:57 PM.
