Savana powertrains – 6.6L Duramax diesel
The powerful Duramax turbo-diesel V-8 is offered in Savana Cutaway, delivering best-in-class torque and horsepower. Known by its "LGH" engine code, it is rated at 260 horsepower (194 kW) and 525 lb.-ft. of torque (711 Nm).
Designed to meet more stringent government emissions requirements, the LGH Duramax employs a robust EGR cooling system, along with revised turbocharger tuning that helps enhance EGR performance. It also has a large-capacity selective catalytic reduction system. In fact, the engine features the latest in emission control technology, making it the cleanest Duramax engine ever produced. NOx emissions are controlled via a Selective Catalyst Reduction aftertreatment system that uses urea-based Diesel (Emission) Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The DEF is housed in a 5.83-gallon (20 L) tank and needs to be replenished about every 5,000 miles (8,000 km). Electrically heated lines feed the DEF to the emission system to ensure adequate delivery in cold weather.
The Duramax also includes GM's second-generation diesel particulate filter system. Unlike most competitors' systems, the Duramax regenerates its diesel particulate filter using a downstream injection of diesel fuel directly into the exhaust stream and can travel up to 1,125 km (700 miles) between regenerations – a 482 km (300-mile) increase over the previous Duramax engine. The use of downstream injection also helps improve engine life by eliminating concerns about the possibility of diesel fuel contaminating engine oil, which can happen when fuel used for regeneration is introduced directly into the cylinder.
Savana Cutaway also provides outstanding cold-weather performance, thanks to the Duramax's microprocessor-controlled glow plugs, which are capable of a gas engine-like start performance in less than three seconds in temperatures as low as -29 C (-20 degrees F), without a block heater. The engine has been developed to operate for at least 322,000 km (200,000 miles) on a rough-duty cycle without the need for a major overhaul. It is also backed with a five-year/160,000km powertrain warranty.
A fuel-operated heater (FOH) is available for vans equipped with the Duramax 6.6L to quickly provide heat to the vehicle interior in cold weather. This seamlessly integrated system is designed into the Savana chassis, saving customers the time and labor of upfitting an aftermarket system. The electronically controlled, fuel-operated heater operates automatically, turning on and off within parameters that include outside air temperature, fuel level, coolant temperature and engine use. It features a self-contained, pressurized auxiliary coolant heater (with a surge tank) that uses diesel fuel to generate up to 17,200 Btu/h (5 kW) of heating energy.
The Duramax engine is backed by GM's Hydra-Matic 6L90 heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission featuring Tow/Haul mode.
Gas/FlexFuel engines
A 4.8L V-8 is standard on 3500 models and cranks out 285 horsepower (212 kW) and 295 lb.-ft. of torque (398 Nm), while a 6.0L V-8 is standard on 4500 models. It is rated at
342 horsepower (255 kW) and 373 lb.-ft. of torque (506 Nm). The 6.0L is also offered in a special version – engine code LC8 – with hardened valve seats for the available Dedicated Liquefied Petroleum Gas model (4500 models).
The 4.8L and 6.0L engines are part of GM's Gen IV small-block V-8 engine family. Designed for quiet operation, these engines include:
Savana's engines not only provide a quiet ride, they assure long-lasting performance. Each one was validated under extreme conditions, with the 6.0L engine dynamometer-tested to the equivalent of 322,000 km (200,000 miles) – 80,000 km (50,000 miles) more than other engines in the family. The engines also feature many long-life engine components such as iridium-tip spark plugs, engine coolant, accessory drive belt and sealing gaskets that may reduce maintenance intervals and costs.
Stringent durability testing of the engines included cycling them between peak torque and peak horsepower rpm points – the equivalent of towing a heavy trailer up a steep grade – for 600 straight hours.
The 4.8L and 6.0L engines are matched with the 6L90 fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission.
Powertrain special features
Chassis and suspension
Cutaway models are built on a strong, ladder-type full frame architecture. Varying frame sections support the 3530 mm(139-inch), 4,038 mm (159-inch) and 4,495 mm (177-inch) wheelbases. Soft-mount body-mount "donuts" and bolts, which attach upfit bodies to the chassis, are available on all models.
All Cutaway models feature an independent short-long arm (SLA) front suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes with four-wheel antilock. At the rear is a hypoid drive axle and multi-leaf springs.
Additional chassis and suspension features include:

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Winter in Emery County is not only a beautiful time of year, it is a great recreational destination. Ice climbing has become a very popular outdoor winter activity, and Joe's Valley in Emery County offers some of the best climbs in the country. People from all over the world come to climb the ice in the winter and the rocks in the summer.
With names like Wolfenstein, Donorcicle, Spear of Fear, Highway to Heaven, Triple C, Prima Donna, and the Curtain, climbers know each frozen waterfall by name and can recount their characteristics. Each is also rated for length and difficulty on a universal scale. In addition to the locations near Joe's Valley, there are several in Huntington Canyon, and several that are located above Joe's Valley that require an overnight stay. To reach those, a person must ski or snowmobile in, and have a knowledge of avalanche conditions.
Layne Potter, a Huntington native began rock climbing when he was 13 years old, then added the ice six-seven years ago to keep his skills sharp during the winter months. As with other Emery County residents, he began climbing and rappelling in the Swell. The frozen waterfalls located in Straight Canyon and near Joe's Valley Reservoir are not only great for the quality of ice, but the big sandstone cliffs provide great scenery in which to spend the day.
Armed with a basic knowledge of climbing and safety, along with the right equipment, anyone can participate in this outdoor recreation craze. Some of the items needed for ice climbing are crampons, a harness, carabiners, ice screws, ropes, ice tools, and a helmet is a must.
Special items of clothing, warm and water repellent, along with mountaineering boots are essential also. Much of the equipment used in ice climbing is used in rock climbing.
Classes are available along the Wasatch Front, and some information is available at the Utah Climbers website.
Potter said, "My entire family participates in climbing and we would be glad to help anyone who has questions or would like to know conditions or locations of the climbs."
Potter is a member of the Emery County Search and Rescue and has been involved in many of the rescues which required rappelling in to a victim, and has stayed with those people, overnight if necessary, until the rescue can be completed.

: In process of putting in a wet bar. We are using a pump for the waste water, don't want to jackhammer the floor. We found a good way to get the waste water out, but we are finding it difficult to find a logical place to route a vent line. We're blocked on most sides by a variety of stuff. One plumber we had come through said we could probably use a Studer "Studor" valve. I can't seem to find what these are anywhere. Is there a case where one of these would be a good solution?

It's the last home game of the regular season and maybe of the year.
The Rochester Americans are sitting in 10th place with only two to go. They are stuck in a five-way race in which they own few tie breakers and three of the other teams have one game in hand.
The standings are written in black in the top right corner of a white board in the middle of the locker room. Players have stared at them day after day, perplexed as to how things could be this close.
Blue Cross Arena's lights are down. As per tradition, the Amerks' booster club is handing out their yearly awards. "Most Improved Player" goes to Phil Varone, a quick, undersized center who led the team in scoring. Next is "Community Service Award," which goes to fan favorite forward Derek Whitmore, who spent many an hour reading to local children. "Unsung Hero" goes to defenseman Shaone Morrisonn. They all skate over to the makeshift stage near the zamboni entrance to accept their awards.
MVP is next. The race isn't exactly DiMaggio vs. Williams circa 1941.
Goalie David Leggio, still in pre-game mode, crunched over with his head down, looks up when his name is called. He is probably the only one of the 10,018 in attendance who wasn't expecting it. He takes off his artistically designed facemask – the one that pays tribute to his favorite broadcaster, a family friend lost at war and his home city of Buffalo – then poses for a picture. A few seconds later, he's back where he started, crunched over again near the bench.
Last July, nobody would have believed Leggio would be the team's most valuable player. In fact, they probably wouldn't have believed he would even be starting a game with a playoff spot on the line.
It was in the July that the Amerks' parent club, the Buffalo Sabres, signed AHL veteran Drew MacIntyre, who had been at the head of an incredible playoff run by the Hamilton Bulldogs the year before. He'd played in the NHL and had a reputation as a hired gun.
The signing meant Leggio dropped to fourth on the Sabres' goalie depth chart. Last year, he'd been the top AHL goalie in the organization for the second half and playoffs after the recall of Jhonas Enroth to Buffalo.
"When I heard they signed Drew, my initial reaction was a little disappointed," Leggio said yesterday afternoon after practice. "I wanted to be the No. 1 guy that I know I can be."
Leggio's rise from backup to one of the AHL's top goaltenders was, to say the least, unexpected.
That is, until you learn how he got here.
"I always wanted to play forward," Leggio said, standing in a tight hallway inside Monroe Community College still covered in sweat. "My favorite players were Pat LaFontaine and Alexander Mogilny."
Remember the NHL commercial where Sidney Crosby is shooting pucks at a dryer in the basement? That was Leggio's childhood, spending dark winter nights in the basement of his grandparents' house endlessly shooting pucks. During the summer, he played hockey in the streets of Williamsville with his friends, sometimes acting as the goalie.
At around age 7, a travel team coach asked if anyone was interested in playing in net. Leggio's previous experience qualified him for the gig, he figured.
"I had a coach whose had sons who had played goal in college," he said. "Then before I played pee wees, my dad sent me out to a goalie school. That was huge. I learned some techniques and that obviously it's more fun to make more saves."
Leggio showed potential from a young age, going on to play hockey at St. Joe's high school.
"When I was in high school, I was trying to get better so I could move on to the next level," he said, adjusting the rubber band that holds back his black, grunge-rock style hair.
Leggio doesn't seem to mind that one teammate after the next is wondering past in the small hallway, all in street clothes. Even the coaching staff is making their way out. Rookie Corey Fienhage stops to explain why he's the only one in a suit, the rest pat their goalie on the back as they slide by to escape to a sunny Rochester day. Leggio likes taking the time to chat about hockey, Eddie Vedder's next tour or whether Mario Williams was actually at the Sabres game.
"He likes to talk," his former head coach at Clarkson University George Roll said with a laugh. "If you get him going, he'll talk for hours about just about anything."
In 2004, Leggio showed up with no scholarship at one of the nation's best hockey universities in the country. He didn't have a guaranteed spot on the team or much of a chance to play the way Roll tells it.
"He recruited us," Roll said over the phone a few hours before game time. "We never ever thought he'd turn out to be the goalie he was for us."
As a freshman, Leggio only played five games. Going into his sophomore year, he was slated to split time with goalie Kyle McNulty.
"We really didn't have a No. 1 at that time," Roll said. "Until the end of the year, that's when he went on a run and took over the job."
Sounds familiar.
By the end of his junior year, Leggio was one of the best goalies in the country going 24-7-5 with a .930 save percentage and 2.16 goals against average. He remained strong through his senior year posting similar numbers.
No matter the stats or his 46-19-9 record during his junior and senior years, there was little interest from NHL clubs.
You see, goalies in The Show all look like Ryan Miller. They are cookie-cutter 6-foot-4, rail thin and play by-the-book butterfly style. Leggio is only 6 foot, a muscular 180 and plays whatever style he needs to in order to stop the puck.
He's the NHL equivalent to a pitcher who doesn't throw 90 mph. Scouts and executives make decisions based on the majority rather than the exception and the majority of 6-foot, 180-pound goaltenders who play their own way simply can't make it. Same goes for guys who throw 85 mph. And like most of those softer throwers, Leggio was forced to start his his pro career in the low minors in the ECHL, two levels away from the NHL, and battle his way up.
After a solid year with the Florida Everblades and more than two years before Leggio was skating over to receive his team MVP award, he was in Finland playing for a team called TPS Turku. He was battling and injury, playing poorly and wondering each day whether he'd have a job the next morning.
If he continued to struggle, it would mean going back to the ECHL or having no job at all.
Now where have you heard this one before: Leggio and TPS Turku were sitting in 13th place, hanging around the playoff race with a long shot to make it when he caught fire. The team made the playoffs on the last day of the season.
"There was a turning point when I was in Finland," he said. "I got back into the groove. You are playing for your life at that point. I hadn't proven myself at the pro level that much. I was playing to just have a pro life....that season really opened a lot of doors for me."
The door to the Sabres' organization opened in 2010. The Sabres had been keeping an eye on their local goalie prospect since his St. Joe's days, but hadn't had a spot available in the two years since Leggio graduation from Clarkson.
After being signed, he was pegged as Enroth's backup, but ended up starting in the second half of the season and playoffs because of Enroth's call up to Buffalo. Leggio performed well posting a .911 save percentage in 36 games. But the Sabres still elected to sign a more experienced goalie in MacIntyre for new owner Terry Pegula's inagural season as head honcho.
The Amerks' non-butterfly goalie found himself in a Butterfly Effect-like sequence that led to his rise.
The dominoes fell like this:
Boston's Milan Lucic plowed into Sabres' goalie Ryan Miller...Miller suffered a concussion....The more experienced MacIntyre was called up to back up Jhonas Enroth... Leggio became the Amerks' No. 1.... Leggio never gave the job back.
Without Lucic smashing the Sabres' season into shambles, Leggio probably would never have gotten a chance to play every night in Rochester.
In December, the Amerks leaned hard on Leggio. As injury after injury struck the Sabres – prompting the call-ups of defenseman Brayden McNabb, T.J. Brennan and Joe Finley – he started eight games and faced more than 35 shots in seven of them. Five of those games were on the road. Somehow, Leggio finished December with a shiny .934 save percentage and salvaged nine of a potential 16 points in the standings.
Without that incredible stretch, there's no tonight, there's no MVP, no scoreboard watching, no playoff push and maybe no crowd of 10,018 at Blue Cross Arena. Butterfly Effect for all, maybe.
Where do we go from here?
It's a question you can't ask a goaltender who's immersed in a playoff race. Back in the small hallway, Leggio said he can only allow himself to think about the next game against the Lake Erie Monsters – a win-and-you're-in situation.
But the future has crossed his mind. The reality is that no matter his final stats or record, he'll always be facing the uphill battle of not being a prospect. One of Leggio's current backups is Miami (Ohio) star goalie Connor Knapp, a former Sabres' draft pick who is 6-foot-5.
"I believe he play in the National (Hockey) League," Leggio's college coach said. "But he's always going to have to prove people wrong every step of the way. And, you know what, I don't doubt he can prove everyone wrong and make it."
Leggio is hesitant but embraces a comparison to Bruins' Vezina-Trophy-winning goalie Tim Thomas, who spent years bouncing between the minors and overseas before finally becoming an NHL starter at age 31.
"I've enjoyed every place I've been and enjoyed the journey," he said. "I've always used the fact that I've been overlooked and that people have not given me the credit that I've hoped as motivation to work harder and keep moving forward."
Tonight, with Sabres' GM Darcy Regier in attendance, Leggio is on his game from the start. He sets the tone with an early breakaway stop, then smothers a rebound with Grand Rapids Griffins' players crashing down on him. At the end of the night, the Amerks are one step closer to the playoffs.
And Leggio is another step closer to proving everyone wrong... again.

Who Invented the Light Bulb?
In 1802, Sir Humphry Davy, an English physician, created the first electric light by passing a current through a platinum strip. However, the modern light bulb is the result of many innovators' work and continuous improvements over 150 years. The invention of the light bulb helped to establish social order after sundown, extended the workday well into the night, and allowed us to navigate and travel safely in the dark. Without the light bulb, there would be no nightlife. However, creating a steady and affordable source of illumination was not as easy as many history textbooks suggest.
Energy Saving Light Bulbs
According to Energy Star, more than 70 percent of sockets in America still contain the old, inefficient incandescent light bulbs. They've challenged America to change just 20 million light bulbs to energy efficient light bulbs such as LED light bulbs in 2014. Using light bulbs to save energy is extremely important to the environment and your energy costs. Not only will making this small switch save you money by reducing your monthly electricity bill, but it will also help reduce overall energy waste and light pollution which are detrimental to our planet.
What are the Best Light Bulb Types?
There are many different types of light bulbs, such as LED, halogen, fluorescent, incandescent, and HID. What light bulb type you choose really depends on the amount of lighting you want or need in a space. For instance, cooking requires an ample amount of light to ensure that you don't burn your food or injure yourself, so installing halogen light bulbs in your kitchen will provide you bright, clean light. If you're looking to illuminate a room where the mood fluctuates, like a dining room, you can always install dimmable incandescent light bulbs along with a light dimmer.

|In response to Re: polyethylene flexible pipe fittings
: it has been suggested that i use pe flexible pipe from my well to my house connection including after pressure tank.How is this pipe tubing connected to pipe thread? does it take compresion fittings? will it stand the pressure?. do you need special tools?thanks for any help. vinny
PE coiled tubing is a great product for water line that are to be buried such as from our well. Or to hang a submersible pump of foot valve with. I don't know how far into a house you want to run it though. Normally it it isn't used past the pressure tank tee inlet. It commonally comes in rolls to 500' and from 75 psi to 200 psi ratings. Underground use 160 or 200 psi rated.
The fittings are called barbed or insert fittings and are held on with hose clamps made for just that use and are stainless steel. The fittings come in the same style as say copper fittings; elbows, tees, couplers male and female adapters. Pump and plumbing supply houses will have everything you need.
Of course you could be asking about PEX since you don't identify what type plasitc but I've not heard of its use for well water systems into the house yet. IMO that would be overkill. Now inside it is an excellent choice IMO.

Hand (manual) massage and expression of breast milk is the removal of milk from the breast using massage. Manual expression is simple and requires little equipment. But it does not empty the breasts as completely as breastfeeding or pumping.
To express milk manually:
- Wash your hands.
- Massage your breast with both hands, sliding your hands from the outer areas of your breast toward the nipple.
- Grasp the dark circle (areola) with your thumb above and one or two fingers below. Push in toward your chest wall. Then gently compress while rolling your fingers toward your nipple (but not on your nipple).
- Rotate your fingers slightly around the areola and repeat the massage to drain the entire breast. Collect your breast milk in a clean container. Refrigerate or freeze the milk if you are not going to use it immediately.

Everyone has an opinion about school lunch. You might hate it or you might actually like it. Some items you remember favorably and some you still have nightmares about. School lunches have changed over the years. But Jeneane Warren, district director for school lunch still believes school lunch is a bargain for students.
The Emery district participates in cooperative purchasing with 12 other school districts and this leads to food savings and more convenience and ease of purchase for the district. Warren presented to the Emery School District board during their January meeting. She covered the lunch program for the board members to help them better understand school lunch.
The cooperative purchasing increases the program viability and lowers cost of both food and non-food items. The quality and variety of food is increased. Less time is spent with vendors for district employees. The bundled purchases lead to fewer delivery trucks and reduced warehouse costs and unloading time.
Participants in the program can share information, opinions, promotional ideas and can discuss any problems which arise in the lunch program. With all 12 districts bidding together, the smaller school districts save time and resources. The school districts have been able to increase participation in the lunch programs and have been able to keep their lunch programs from losing money.
One event held each year is a food fair where children come to the fair and food test. They are all given score sheets and they go around and try out food items and rate them on taste. Items which score very highly can then be implemented into the Emery district lunch program. Each food item can score five points maximum during the judging. Scoring is three points if the item will be used: .5 point for taste, .5 for appearance, .5 for nutritional contribution and .5 for cost. Foods that pass the nutritional board with three point score or higher goes on to the food fair for the student judges to rate. Foods that pass the food fair are added to the approved list of food for bid for the district. The score sheet for the students has a smiley face and an unhappy face which the students mark if they like the item or not.
Students participate from all districts involved in the cooperative buying. Emery district students have been involved in the food fair and had an enjoyable time there. Each participant received a T-shirt and a lot of information about food.
The Emery district has become more efficient with their food service. Eleven years ago the district had 45 food service employees and used substitutes. In 2007 there are 20 food service employees. These employees are certified by a national program and hold a servsafe certificate.
All menus used by the Emery district are analyzed to meet federal and state regulations. The Emery district feeds 68 percent of the paid students, 78 percent of the free lunches and 77 percent of reduced.
The next food fair will be held on March 30.

The comedian in question is Marc Maron. He does a popular podcast, called WTF, out of his garage in California. It's an interview show, with other comedians and artists. Maron recently found an extraordinary letter in his mailbox. This letter said, basically, that by doing his podcast, out of his garage, he was violating a technology patent. His podcast was, according to the letter, "illegal."
"…They sent a copy of the patent with this letter," Maron says. "Which looks like a large bunch of legal gibberish."
When Marc Maron started up his podcast– he didn't think he was stealing anyone's invention. He's a comedian. He'd never seen a patent before.
A couple other podcasters have received similar letters like this– Jesse Thorn, host of the public radio show Bullseye, for one. NBC, CBS, the Adam Carolla show, have all been sued.
The person behind these letters and lawsuits is Jim Logan. Jim Logan claims to have invented podcasting, with a company called Personal Audio, back in the mid-nineties. He has a patent that he claims covers podcasting, that's been recently updated, but dates back to October 2nd, 1996. That means, according to the letter his company sent out, every time someone creates a podcast– and distributes it– that person owes his company money.
Jim Logan says, back in the mid-nineties, he imagined a personal audio device that could "interact with the internet and your preferences to pull down, to your personal player, all the personal stuff you wanted to listen to. "
"The idea of downloading playlists to your audio player and podcasts are how the world has gotten around to implementing those ideas," says Logan.
Jim Logan tried to build an mp3 player and bring it to market. It didn't work ou, but he did manage to put out a much lower tech version of what he feels is the same idea. He brought the manifestation of this idea to our interview. It was a stack of cassette tapes. The idea was, you'd be able to pick from a selection of newspaper and magazine articles, and his company would send you a tape of those articles being read out loud.
The tapes didn't get much traction. And over the next ten years, Logan says, he kind of forgot about these old audio patents. Until 2007, that's when, as he tells it, his patent attorney, Charlie Call, was working on a project that involved iTunes. "I wasn't a big music listener and Charlie Call wasn't either," Logan says. "We didn't own iPods. We didn't use iTunes, so it was all kind of foreign to us." When Call did discover iTunes," Logan says, he realized that our patent "was being infringed by iTunes."
Logan's company, Personal Audio, sued Apple, over the ability to create a playlist. The jury sided with Personal Audio, and awarded them a 8.5 million dollar payout. Apple appealed, Personal Audio appealed back, and there was a settlement of some kind. The results are not public.
In the eyes of the law, it doesn't matter that Logan's company did not create iTunes or the iPod. "This is the road map," his licensing guy, Richard Baker, says. "That would tell someone how to do podcasting, how to do mp3 players." Even if the guy who had invented iTunes never read Logan's patent, publicly available, on the U.S. Patent website, "that does not matter," Logan says.
Right now that's how the system works, and a lot of people think, this is a big problem. The fact that somebody like Jim Logan could even get a patent this broad, some say, means that the patent system is not working like it's supposed to. Rather than encouraging more innovation– it's hurting it. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, an advocacy group, is planning to challenge the patent at the patent office. They claim the patent is too broad, and too obvious.
To Jim Logan, when he uses patents to make back money he lost on his failed business that's a good thing. He says having a patent makes it safer for people like him to try and start their next new idea.
The people he's threatening to sue, of course, don't see it that way.
"I'm not a tech company," Marc Maron says. "I'm a guy who turns on his computer and does his thing!"
Yesterday, in President Obama's call for reform of the patent system, he may have allied himself with Maron's side. He specifically called for more protection for what he calls "end-users of products containing patented technology." People who aren't even trying to make a new product– just turning on their computers, for example, and doing their thing.

Varsity Twin Cinema
1106 University Avenue,
3 people favorited this theater
Opened in 1939, the Varsity Theatre was designed by architect C.W. Dickey. During the late 1960's and early 1970's, the University of Hawaii used the theatre as a large daytime lecture hall.
In the early 1980's, it was converted into a two-screen theatre, and since the late 1980's, the Varsity had specialized in bringing a loyal Hawaiian audience their newly-released art-house films.
After nearly 70 years, the Varsity Twin Cinema closed its doors on June 17th, 2007. It was demolished in early 2008, initial plans are to use the site for parking.

I was Sorry to pick up the paper and read some sad news.
The Varsity is scheduled to be demolished by the end of the month.
Officials from the owner, Kamehameha Schools, said significant structural problems with the building has occured.
An exact date of the demolition has yet to be determined.
As we know, the theater was purchased by Kamehameha Schools last summer from Consolidated Theatres.
They were looking into preserving the building for another use, but large cracks in the ceiling, walls and columns were found during an inspection. Mold, rust and significant settling were also found.
Before the demolition plans,Laugh Factory, a comedy club,had expressed interest in holding shows at the theater, but an agreement could not be reached between Kamehameha Schools and the club.
Since the theater shut last year, homeless people have been using the site as shelter, and the building has been vandalized. Vintage movie posters and light fixtures were stolen.
Demolition began today (March 19, 2007). I've included a photo on my Varsity Theater website:
That's too bad. I'm glad I got to see it before it disappeared.
I'm sorry too. Here is today's article on the demolition from the Honolulu Advertiser:
Varsity theater torn down for parking lot
By Andrew Gomes
Advertiser Staff Writer
The Varsity theater building was demolished yesterday after owner Kamehameha Schools found structural damage that would cost too much to repair. Kamehameha Schools gave away keepsakes from the theater to interested groups.
RICHARD AMBO | The Honolulu Advertiser

The old Varsity theater building in Mo'ili'ili was reduced to rubble yesterday after its owner, Kamehameha Schools, said recently uncovered structural damage made it cost prohibitive to save the building considered a landmark by some.
Though the building designed by noted architect C.W. Dickey is now gone like the era of single-screen movie theaters, parts of the theater â€" from bathroom sinks to the neon V-A-R-S-I-T-Y sign â€" were donated to nearby schools, organizations and businesses for reuse.
"The theater itself had many memories for a lot of people (but) the longer it stood there the more of a liability it was," said Kamehameha Schools spokesman Kekoa Paulsen.
Paulsen said that after Kamehameha Schools acquired the building from a California-based affiliate of Consolidated Theatres that had closed the Varsity in June 2006, the trust initially envisioned renovating the building's interior and leasing it to a commercial tenant until a longer-term redevelopment plan was devised.
But Paulsen said structural damage that included cracked walls from foundation settling pushed the estimated renovation cost to around $3 million to $5 million, which made the interim leasing plan financially infeasible.
"Some of the cracks ran all the way up to the ceiling," he said.
So the former theater site is destined to become a public parking lot for at least the next three to five years.
In an effort to preserve some nostalgia of the theater built in 1939, Kamehameha Schools offered parts of the Varsity Twin Cinema for free to interested groups starting with schools and nearby community groups.
Paulsen said Kaimuki High School acquired the two picture screens, some art deco light fixtures and about 150 letters used on the theater's marquee.
The horizontal neon V-A-R-S-I-T-Y sign above the movie title marquee was given to The Varsity, a bar across University Avenue from the theater site.
"The Varsity theater is our namesake," said Nick Schlapak, managing partner of the bar formerly the home of Magoo's Pizza.
"It's a piece of history for the neighborhood."
Schlapak said the galvanized steel sign with white neon lights inside each letter was broken and had been vandalized, but should be repairable.
Schlapak said he'd like to put the sign outside the bar if the city grants a permit. The bar also adopted two large cast iron projectors that stood like statues outside the theater that are intended for display.
Paulsen said several organizations looked through the Varsity for collectibles or reusable fixtures that included the theater's popcorn machine and bathroom sinks, though some items including theater seating and tattered wall curtains attracted no takers.

I swung by the Varsity Theater demolition site today and made this video:
I stopped by as well an hour or so before they started the demolition, but I did not want to watch, it's all to sad.
I remember watching the Royal come down, I drove there with Royal Development CEO,Herman Rosen, and after a few minures he said
"I can't match this, lets go"
I imagine it is a parking lot by now. Much needed, I'm sure.
Sorry to hear it's a goner. The Varsity – a photo sent me by the manager circa 1996:
View link
I saw the movie 'Ed Wood' there when it came out in the early nineties. It was the most memorable movie experience I've ever had due to the film breaking in middle of the movie. I thought it was part of the film because it fit so perfectly within the content. It was a perfect error to a pretty entertaining film and I'm glad I was there to experience it. There was much laughter in the theatre as I think we all thought initially that it was part of the picture.

City Manager Michael Penny received 45 applications to replace retiring police chief Heather Coogan, 25 of them from out of state.
He declined to identify any of the applicants but said he'll announce the names of the finalists. He's assembling six-member panels — to include citizens, chiefs in other jurisdictions, Littleton police and other department heads — to review his top six choices. The ultimate decision will be his.
The search for a new chief was conducted in-house. The last time the city used a headhunting firm was when Penny was hired in 2011, at a cost of $22,300. He said positions that are city council's charge — city manager, city attorney and presiding judge — are more likely to be filled using an outside firm, mostly because council can't commit full-time hours to the task as can the human-relations department.
"I'm very comfortable in our HR staff's ability," he said. "I think we can get a deep pool of candidates ourselves."
Coogan's last day is officially April 1, and division chiefs Bob Brandt and Bill Christensen are exiting with her. Starting April 2, Cmdr. Gene Enley will serve as acting chief, and Cmdrs. Kim Ferber and Paul Creadon will be acting division chiefs.
Penny said he'll leave the decision about replacing Brandt and Christensen up to the new chief, whom he hopes to have in place by May.
The three are leaving just months after a survey of city employees showed the police department was less satisfied with its direct supervision and senior leadership than other departments.
"The responses indicate opportunities for improvements, specifically in supervision, which we can focus on for the upcoming year," Penny said at the time. "The good news in the areas of 'senior management' and 'supervision' is, we have control over those areas and can work toward positive change."
Coogan took the helm in 2007, replacing Gary Maas. He retired after an independent study described the department as being in "tumult" under his leadership.
Coogan, Christensen and Brandt are taking advantage of an incentive offered to all LPD sworn officers ages 57 and older. In exchange for retiring now, their health insurance will be paid until they're 65.
Officer Bob Carmody, 63, also took the deal after serving LPD for 28 years. He's best remembered for helping to save a baby in 2006, after the mother unexpectedly delivered her in a restroom.
Another decision council needs to make is how to replace Kirsten Crawford, former city attorney. The position is council's charge, and Penny said the matter is on the agenda for a study session March 12. Council could farm out the job to a firm, hire a new city attorney, or some hybrid of the two.
Crawford resigned Feb. 5. The announcement came 10 days after council placed her on paid administrative leave, apparently at her request, following an hour-long executive session.
Crawford cited "personal reasons" in her three-sentence resignation letter. She had held the job since March 6, 2012, when she replaced Suzanne Staiert, who started in 2008.
Council fired Staiert on the same day she filed an EEOC complaint against the city in September 2011, and she went on to become Colorado's deputy secretary of state.
Kristen Schledorn remains as Littleton's deputy city attorney. She was hired in May.

IDs for bomb threats
Jim Harff
Butler Township
The recent bomb threat at Mars High School wasted the time of police, firefighters and emergency medical services, not to mention the disruption that it caused at the school.
It's time to put in the newspaper the names of the people who make such threats, so we know who they are.
Plus, there should be an automatic, mandatory five-year prison sentence, with no parole, no pleas and no excuses of being misguided, confused, or a victim of a poor childhood.
If someone does the big-boy crime, he or she should do the big-boy time.
By the time such a person gets out of prison — in some cases, at 19 or 20 years old — perhaps he or she will have gotten the message.

African Ministers Adopt the Nairobi Declaration on Climate
Nairobi, 2 June 2009 - On 29 May, ministers from more than 30 African countries adopted the Nairobi Declaration on climate at a weeklong special session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) in the headquarters of the United Nations Environment Programme in Nairobi, Kenya.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of UNEP which hosts the AMCEN secretariat, told the meeting: "Africa's environment ministers have today signaled their resolve to be part of the solution to the climate change challenge by forging a unified position, within their diversity of economies, in advance of the crucial UN climate convention meeting in Copenhagen in just 192 days' time."
The landmark document highlighted the major challenges and opportunities that African countries face in the upcoming negotiations in Copenhagen on a climate agreement that will succeed the Kyoto Protocol. The Declaration urges all parties - and particularly the international community - to base increased support for Africa on the priorities for the continent, which include adaptation, capacity-building, financing and technology development and transfer.
The Declaration could not have come sooner. "Africa is in peril. The continent faces disease, limited food security and more," warned Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in a press conference on the last day of the meeting.
Climate change is clearly impacting Africa in every way. According to the latest indicators, globally the climate is changing more rapidly than estimated. Today, nine out of every ten recorded disasters are climate related. Rising temperatures and more frequent and prolonged floods, droughts and storms are impacting millions of people's lives. And Africa is feeling the brunt of the changing weather patterns. Increasing numbers of natural disasters have left people grappling with drought, flooded houses and growing poverty.
Home to some of the major ecosystems in the world, climate change is also threatening some 20-30 per cent of species in Africa which now face the danger of extinction if global warming continues. According to a detailed study by Mozambique's national Disaster Management Institute, over the next 20 years and beyond the country will be overwhelmed by more natural disasters like cyclones, floods, droughts and disease outbreak as a result of climate change.
"Africa is one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change and has no means to respond to climate change," said Buyelwa Sonjica, President of AMCEN and Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs in South Africa, in her statement to the meeting.
"Climate change is the most serious threat to humanity," warned Erik Solheim, Minster of Environment of Norway, in his address to the AMCEN participants. "And Africa is facing this major threat and must rise to the occasion," he stressed.
Africa has to adapt to climate change but must also be compensated for having been the victim of the industrial pollution that it did not create. The continent has the lowest per capita emissions, and yet it is bearing the highest impact of climate change ? with projections showing that by 2020, in some African countries, yields from rain-fed agriculture could be reduced by up to 50 per cent.
"Africa has today shouldered its domestic and global responsibilities. It is now time for other Continents and countries, especially the developed economies, to now seriously shoulder theirs," said Steiner.
Endemic poverty, limited access to capital, including markets, infrastructure and technology; ecosystem degradation; and multifaceted disasters and conflicts have all contributed to Africa's struggles. The continent represents less than 10 per cent of the carbon trading in the world even though its forests absorb a huge amount of the carbon emissions. These in turn have contributed to Africa's weak adaptive capacity, increasing the continent's vulnerability to climate change.
Adaptation therefore emerges as the most immediate priority. Since the Kyoto Protocol was drawn up in 1997, there has been some progress in acknowledging the need to support adaptation in developing countries. But most of the work remains to be done, particularly with the cost of adaptation in Africa estimated between $1 billion and $50 billion per year.
As existing financial mechanisms have proven inadequate, complex and fragmented, African countries have not yet been able to gain full access to these resources. The Declaration highlights the need for a coherent financial architecture for climate change and simplified access procedures.
In the run-up to the meeting in Copenhagen, it is clear that Africa needs a detailed strategy for combating climate change in a way that helps achieve sustainable development, particularly in terms of alleviating poverty, with an emphasis on the most vulnerable such as women and children who are bearing the brunt of the impact from climate change. "Africa's vote will be considered and that's why a strong African vision is crucial," said Mr de Boer.
"Africa must be united for Copenhagen," added Jean-Louis Borloo, French Minister of the Environment. "The world cannot refuse anything in Copenhagen but African countries must be ready," he stressed.
The AMCEN meeting took place six months before the critical climate meeting in Copenhagen where the global climate agreement will be negotiated. As Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, which oversees the talks in Copenhagen, de Boer in an interview in Nairobi warned of the challenges ahead: "The scientists have also told us that if we don't get emissions under control quickly and if we don't adapt to the impact of climate change quickly, then things are going to get worse and worse."
He highlighted three points that need to be met in Copenhagen:
-clear and ambitious reduction strategies for rich countries, who have to show leadership;
-major developing countries have to limit the growth of their emissions;
-significant financial support must be mobilized for developing countries to limit their emissions and adopt to the impact of climate change.
While debates marked the elaboration of the Nairobi Declaration, the AMCEN participants were clear on one issue: time is running and action is needed. Having adopted the Nairobi Declaration, African Ministers are now hoping there will be similar consensus in Copenhagen. "We the African countries endorse the efforts of the UN Secretary General to combat climate change and to encourage governments around the world to 'Seal the Deal' and support a fair, balanced and effective climate agreement in Copenhagen in December," said John Michuki, Minister of Environment in Kenya, in his address to the AMCEN gathering.

Greening the Global Economy-the Role of Environmental Impact Assessments08/
Geneva, 8 April 2010 - More than 600 experts from 75 countries gather in Geneva today to consider the social and environmental impacts of transitioning to a green economy.Delegates to the 30th Annual Conference of the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA), hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), will look at the five sectors that have been identified as key green investment opportunities: agriculture, industry, tourism, cities and transportation."When they met in Bali two months ago, the world's environment ministers emphasized that the full impacts of green economy policies should be assessed, including environmental, social and economic aspects,'' said Achim Steiner, UN Under Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director."Professionals involved in impact assessments thus have an important role to play in delivering more intelligent and sustainable choices to their customers and clients including governments, business, local authorities and civil society: choices that can direct investments to fit local, national and regional needs while addressing the broad agenda of low carbon, resource efficient development, poverty eradication and higher levels of decent employment," he added.One of the key goals of the conference - hosted for the first time by a UN agency - is to present the tools and methods that will help countries to assess and identify which green investments to make. Speaking in Geneva, Nick Taylor, President of the IAIA, said delegates at the six-day meeting would share their ideas and insights on how impact assessment can address a complex range of global issues."A growing field of expertise, impact assessment can evaluate the linkages between investments and the environment, health, job creation, economic diversification and poverty reduction. This forum comes at a time when there's heightened interest in the potential of impact assessments, so it's vital experts exchange information and contribute to a growing body of knowledge," Mr Taylor said. UNEP's flagship Green Economy Report, to be released later in the year, will present in-depth assessments of 10 sectors based on economic analysis and modelling. Three of the report's chapter authors will be on hand at the conference to share some of the report's preliminary analysis.Speakers at the conference include Mr Steiner; Mrs Michèle Künzler, State Council, Republic and State of Geneva; Mr Gérard Poffet, Vice-Director, Swiss Federal office for the Environment, and Mr Taylor. Keynote addresses will be given by Dr Lars Lundquist, who leads research and development activities related to environmental assessment of packing and products at the Nestle Research Centre, and Dr Per Sandberg, a managing director and leader of the Vision 2050 project at the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.The conference, held at the International Conference Centre Geneva (CICG), will be attended by impact assessment practitioners, international experts and policymakers from industry, governments, consultancies, donor agencies, NGOs and academia. The conference closes on Sunday. Notes to Editors: UNEP's Green Economy InitiativeLed by UNEP, the Green Economy Initiative (GEI) of the UN is designed to assist governments in "greening" their economies by reshaping and refocusing policies, investments and spending towards a range of sectors, such as clean technologies, renewable energies, water services, green transport, waste management and sustainable agriculture and forests.As the governments around the world are devising responses to the challenges posed by financial, economic, food, fuel and climate crises, the GEI offers convincing macroeconomic evidence and technical advice for focusing policy and investment packages on key economic sectors as a means of stimulating economic development, creating jobs and addressing poverty, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, extracting and using less natural resources and creating less waste.See: www.unep.org/greeneconomyInternational Association for Impact AssessmentThe International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) is a global network for best practice in the use of impact assessment for informed decision making regarding policies, programs, plans and projects.IAIA was organized in 1980 to bring together researchers, practitioners, and users of various types of impact assessment from around the world. IAIA has more than 1,600 members from over 120 countries representing many disciplines and professions. Its members include corporate planners and managers, public interest advocates, government planners and administrators, private consultants and policy analysts, university and college teachers and their students.IAIA activities seek to (1) develop approaches and practices for comprehensive and integrated impact assessment; (2) improve assessment procedures and methods for practical application; (3) promote training of impact assessment and public understanding of the field; (4) provide professional quality assurance by peer review and other means, and (5) share information networks, timely publications, and professional meetings.See: www.iaia.orgFor further information, please contact: Nick Nuttall, UNEP Spokesperson and Head of Media, +41 795 965 737 or +254 733632755, or email@example.com O'Brien-Malone, Head, DTIE Communications, UNEP Paris, Tel: +33 1 44 37 76 12 or email@example.com Taylor, President, IAIA, firstname.lastname@example.com

Posted on 11/30/2013 6:23:19 PM PST by Libloather
A pregnant woman has had her baby forcibly removed by caesarean section by social workers.
Essex social services obtained a High Court order against the woman that allowed her to be forcibly sedated and her child to be taken from her womb.
The baby girl, now 15 months old, is still in the care of social services, who are refusing to give her back to the mother, even though she claims to have made a full recovery.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Wudda been cheaper to have given her her meds.
Lots cheaper, after the lawsuits.
Bipolar disorder is highly heritable. The baby has a high chance of being bipolar as well.
Cringe worthy.
I don't think there is any real question whether someone can travel to Britain safely anymore. They seem to have lost all sense of reason and sanity, and are now ruled by whimsical and fickle actions, no longer rising to the level of what can be called "law" or even common sense.
North Korea is more orderly. Even failed states like Somalia have at least have some remaining sensibilities. Britain is little more than a madhouse, managed by its most out of control inmates.
With todays society's infatuation with abortion, I'm surprised they didn't just abort the baby.
What's Orwellian is the mother had no notion this case was proceeding against her. She had no chance to plead her case.
This is liberalism, nannystate craziness.
Greenpeace nuts who go to Russia and harass ships get more legal support than this mother
"The baby has a high chance of being bipolar as well."
Well then, let's just surgically invade the baby's womb and fix it so there's no chance of reproduction.
Precedent set w/ Mom!
(Or for the nuclear option, invade her cranium and remove any potentially troubling parts.)
Like the Chicoms do to enforce their "one child" policy.
Interesting thing about lithium is that it started out on trial for a certain heart disease with was stopped when it found out that the drug was very useful in treating bi-polar problems....there is a certain area of Texas that has a natural lithium within the soils and no bi-polar situations occur in that area...Has to be under psychiatric doctor not a GP. It does have some side effects due to it actually being a type of salt...
Oamacare: Of things to come!
FROM http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/37010.php:
"...Genetics - some small twin studies have indicated that there is a "substantial genetic contribution" to bipolar disorder risk. People with a blood relative who has bipolar disorder have a higher risk of developing it themselves. Currently, scientists are trying to identify which genes are involved..."
FROM the Mayo Clinic:
"...Inherited traits. Bipolar disorder is more common in people who have a blood relative (such as a sibling or parent) with the condition. Researchers are trying to find genes that may be involved in causing bipolar disorder..."
FROM the National Institute of Mental Health:
"...Bipolar disorder tends to run in families. Some research has suggested that people with certain genes are more likely to develop bipolar disorder than others. Children with a parent or sibling who has bipolar disorder are much more likely to develop the illness, compared with children who do not have a family history of bipolar disorder. However, most children with a family history of bipolar disorder will not develop the illness..."
Having a bipolar parent is not a guarantee that a child will have bipolar disorder, but it definitely increases their odds. All I intended to convey is that this child should be watched for signs of bipolar disorder. I did not advocate for abortion or any other deleterious treatment for this child.
There must be a same sex couple waiting to adopt and social services did not want to delay filling their order.
Pretty disgusting story. But why should anyone be surprised? Forty years of legal abortions have led to a complete moral collapse of understanding between mother and child. Bipolar disorder is highly treatable but, whether it is or not, this is a horror of the first order. For shame!
And who should watch for this child to turn out to be bipolar? The government? I can't help but think of Zelda Fitzgerald's daughter, Scottie, who despite her mother's almost unprecedented level of mental illness, turned out to be a distinguished writer and mother of five.
Inherited or learned?
Read my post, with the sources. Inherited.
Risk Factors blood relative--periods of increase stress--drug/alcohol abuse-- physical health such as heart, thyroid obesity may be contribution factors or found with combination may lead to problem..
Certain health problems may be genetic in nature. On my mothers side of the family, diabetes usually in males and according to my mother skip 1 generation. She warned me when my kids were very young, especially my 4 sons...2 have diabetes, 3 don't but my brothers one girl is insulin dependent. A first female in 5 generations according to my mother.....the problem on my husbands side is heart attacks in the 40's. 2 of my 5 children has their first episode in their mid 40's. There father died at 51 and I was always after them to pay attention to their bodies..Being aware saved both of them. They have both passed the age when their father died. But I was the only one in my family to have a mild case of Bi Polar disorder. Not having any member of the family with certain disorders is no guarantee that others will have the same disorder...
And as the Mayo clinic states, being in a hypo-manic stage, it is a feeling of feeling great. He would know by looking at me if I was slipping up. But never had an so called uncontrollable problems. I had a doctor that knew shit from shinola..
So I learned something from you, thanks, genetic pre disposition as a factor was not known to me..but it is not the only factor. Life is a crap shoot I always say. You never know whats going to come up...
"(Or for the nuclear option, invade her cranium and remove any potentially troubling parts.)"
Are you claiming to have discovered the long sought "Liberal Lobe" in the Democrat brain?
Uh, there is a definite familial component to Bi Polar Affective Disorder. Significantly higher probability if a parent has it.
I beg to differ with you. The Mayo Clinic, the WebMD and many other influential organizations pronounce that genetics play a role in bipolar disorders. Google can be your friend.
I think you are right about that. They seem to have completely cracked up.
This story is really an outrage. The woman isn't even a British Citizen. The Brit gov't has basically assaulted her, with the risk of grave bodily harm (even death) and kidnapped her child. Do they do this stuff all the time over there?
So, It Has Begun...........
Child taken from womb by social services>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They must have seen the child across a crowded womb./S
Why not let her deliver the child naturally?
Thisnis barbaric. Next they are going to mandate abortion. Pro choice my arse.
Even Hillary is speaking of sustainable development.
Ah yes, those fabians who come out the closet doing horrible things once it is legalized, protected or empowered. Wolves in sheeps clothing is their moto.
They basically kidnapped an Italian kid... wow... welcome to the EU. This is litteraly grounds for a war.
Wow! They didn't even call a doctor?
The three million US citizens who continue safely to travel to Britain each year don't appear to share that view.
I used to think Britain was a worthwhile country, but to even islamics practice such barbarity?
I am heartbroken for the mother. A pregnant Italian woman travels to England for training with her job and suffers a panic attack. She is then taken by force to a mental hospital where they sedate her and take her baby by c section. 15 months later the child is still in the British social system. They never consulted her family or courts in Italy.
But, after the abuse of being taken from the mother and put in a system during this critical time, who knows what problems the baby will have.
I can't help but think there is some sort of corruption going on (someone paid off for a newborn) . Perhaps it is easier to comprehend corruption than this sort of evil.
You didn't make that baby, the State made that baby. Rip it out of her thieving body and lock her up.
Well thankfully, you are OK, because we ban people who talk crap.
Oh, and be careful when you have to dismount from your high horse after reading this:
p.s we are still a worthwhile country.
From an earlier column: she is seperated from her American husband.
"By now a new twist had entered the story. Supported by the mother, her American husband from whom she is amicably separated, and who is the father of her eldest daughter asked that the baby be sent to Los Angeles to live with his sister, herself a very capable mother, described by her US lawyer as a rock. British law is clear that wherever possible children should be adopted by members of their wider family. But in March, Essex social services ruled that this was unacceptable because, even though she was the aunt of the babys stepsister, the American woman had no blood tie to the baby. So, rather than allow the child to be looked after by her kin, she must be sent to live with complete strangers."
Maybe Elton John wants to buy another baby.
Didn't Mia Farrow star in a movie about this?
Psalm 139:13
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mothers womb.
Ssssh, don't tell them that, once they figure out that we have private hospitals as well as the NHS, then they'll think it's ok to come here and criticise in person
I suppose the question is germane. Sawney Beane, truth or myth?
"...The Brit govt has basically assaulted her,..."
Nah... yer overreacting....
EVERYBODY knows that When governments do stuff like this it's clearly not assault. It's "for the common good".
It's only "assault" when YOU fight back, dontcha know... or try to prevent them from harming you. THEN it's "assault" and whatever else they can dream up.
Gots ta get it right, friend!!!!
(hope I don't need the /sarc tag here...)
Hmmm, lol.
Good question, probably myth, perhaps based on some reality, but like many myths, grossly exaggerated.
BTW, I am not blindly defending Essex NHS in this case, I am as uneasy as everyone else here, I am just pointing out that such case aren't exclusive to old Limeyville.
You still living over here, in this dump of a country?. Why, lol.
Essex Social Services (or SS if you wish lol), not NHS.
And to top it off they refuse to allow her to have her child back because she may suffer a relapse, even though she is now taking her medication.
So they can take a child away just on the possibility that someone with a condition may relapse?

Some events are so vivid in your mind, so much so you think you've already written about it, because the script is probably still in the brains' IN folder, so much so, when asked, you insist you've posted about it ages ago. Then, to your abject horror, you search your blog, and zilch, there was no such entry.
This happened recently, when my favourite restauranter Andre of Rama V, told me that he was looking for my post, and I dismissed as him being unable to navigate through blogspot. The strangest thing is, I could've sworn I remember editing the pictures, and even writing the post. Oh well, it is one of those great mysteries of life, not helped by the degenerating grey matter and old age.
Sometime in November last year I was invited to the Loy Krathong celebrations in Rama V. Loy means to float, and krathong refers to the beautifully handcrafted lotus shaped boats that are lit up and set afloat in the water. It is a beautiful ceremony but is made even better when there is feasting and drinking involved, as is always the case when invited by two suave owners of Rama V. (Andre and Danny).
The event is a gala event, with big sponsors, and grand prizes. Alcohol flows freely and a special menu is put together for this special Thai festival.
To start with, the gorgeous blue flower lotus dumpling, with money bag and spring roll.
The pomelo chicken & prawn salad served in banana blossom is particularly lovely, and has a lovely tang to it. Now, I am not sure if these items are on the regular menu, but if you book ahead, I am sure the chef can indulge you.
A very festive air prevails, aided of course by the spirited beverages that were circulating freely. Dinner is interspersed with lucky draws from the sponsor. Our table did pretty well, as on of us one a bottle of bubbly, while Pure Glutton & Mr Pure Glutton won a RM500 dining voucher. Grumble grumble envy envy.
Pure Glutton & Mr holding up their RM500 prize.
You'd think you'd have tasted every conceivable pumpkin soup by the time you're 46, but this rendition of Roasted Pumpkin soup had a nice twist, with pistachios, lemon & seafood. I loved this dish, but again, I don't think it's available on the regular menu, so do order ahead.
Kung Manow Woon Sen - or in English, Steamed River Prawn with glass noodle. The prawn, despite the large number of guests, was steamed to perfection, and was fresh, and crisp, and could have been swimming in the Chao Praya just moments before for all I know.
Roasted Duck Curry With Japanese Sticky Rice. Loved the presentation. The curry itself is the red duck curry, but serving it this way certainly enhances the senses.
We are summoned to the lotus pond outside for the highlight of the night...
The main event, which entails the lighting of the kratong, and floating it. I guess you are supposed to make a wish, not unlike floating oranges on chap goh mei for desperate spouse searchers.
It is a beautiful sight to see the pond illuminated with the floating fairy lights.
A particularly poignant moment as the true blooded Thai staff of Rama V come out from the kitchen to reverently place the Krathongs.
And finally, back into the comforts of airconditioning, dessert, a trio of Winter, Spring and Summer. Rubied water chestnut in coconut ice shavings, kuih taco and mango with sticky rice. All very exotic, all very in keeping with the event.
The chef and other Thai staff take the stage.
Rama V is really one of my favourite Thai restaurants. Innovative menus constantly churned out, fabulous ambience, and fantastic owners who really go the extra mile to make sure the customers feel taken care of. Thanks so much Andre and Danny for letting us share in this memorable occasion.
