Agriculture and Food Hospitality Experience Program
Increase business opportunities, manage and mitigate risk and showcase your hotel to tour operators and travelers alike, with SGS's hospitality excellence program.
International ratings systems vary dramatically in format, key performance indicators (KPIs) and transparency. Our hospitality excellence program helps you to stand out from the crowd, by offering customers, tour operators and insurers independently verified confirmation of your establishment's food safety and environmental management practices.
Unlike existing certification schemes, this program is voluntary and based on regular, unannounced third party assessments of an establishment. It helps ensure that its management is aware of potential risks and takes appropriate measures to reduce them.
Reflecting market needs, this program comprises one mandatory module, food safety, and a range of voluntary modules. The voluntary modules are currently under development.
Food safety
- All aspects of food sourcing, management and preparation
- Hygiene and cleanliness of storage, preparation and serving areas
All voluntary modules meet specific establishment and client needs and have standard operating procedures (SOP) and a checklist.
Audit results can be used for benchmarking and comparison across enterprises, both domestically and internationally. Our auditors deliver consistent results, wherever they are located, thereby ensuring that audit results are comparable around the world. Additionally, clients can identify and analyze trends using the Steton tool.
The process
Businesses participating in this program agree the modules to be included, a minimum number of interventions and regular unannounced assessments. The number of on-site assessments may be varied according to the establishment's performance and any risks identified. All sample testing is conducted in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.
SGS performance mark
Establishments meeting the hospitality excellence program criteria qualify for a Certificate of Compliance and can use the SGS Approval Performance Mark on premises and marketing tools to highlight their success.
Compulsory and voluntary schemes in combination
Our hospitality excellence program draws together legal compliance needs with the best of the voluntary schemes:
- SGS Hygiene Monitored Program
- Codex Alimentarius CAC/RCP 1 – 1969 Rev. 4 (2003)
- HACCP pre-requisites
- Federation of Tour Operators – Food Hygiene, Preferred Code of Practice (June 2007)
- Reviewed testing limits, and for swabbing: DIN 10516:2009-05, Food Hygiene – Cleaning & Disinfection
- Applicable local regulations
Why choose the hospitality excellence program from SGS?
With a presence in nearly every single region around the globe, our experts speak the local language, understand the culture of the local market and operate consistently and reliably. We have a harmonized approach to delivering services to our customers, leveraging the largest independent network of hospitality and food service experts in the world.

Drew Magary's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo runs every Thursday during the NFL season. Buy Drew's new book, The Postmortal, through here. Find more of his stuff at his Twitter feed.
I was one of the people during the preseason who said the new rule moving kickoffs up to the 35-yard line would essentially ruin kickoff returns forever. Bill Belichick himself said that the league created the rule specifically to neuter returns. But we're four weeks into the season now and the numbers show that the move hasn't ruined kickoff returns. In some ways, they've actually made kickoff returns a lot more enjoyable.
You can look at the raw numbers for yourself (HT to Florio for the Blog and Tackle link). Touchbacks are up nearly 30 percent with the new rule, but half of all kickoffs still get returned. And those returns are BETTER than they were a year ago, by nearly a yard on average (24.4 yards in 2011 to 23.6 yards in 2010). There are four players averaging 30 or more yards per kickoff return this year. There were none in 2010. Furthermore, the increase in leaguewide scoring has caused the sheer number of kickoffs to increase dramatically (657 this year to 568 last year). Then there's this:
There have been four kickoffs returned for touchdowns in the first four weeks. Interestingly, all four were over 100 yards (108, 102, 103 and 107 yards) for an average of 105 yards per kickoff return TD. A year ago, there were eight kickoffs brought back for touchdowns to this point (97, 89, 95, 99, 101, 102, 98 and 103 yards). Those eight averaged 98 yards, 7 yards less than this year's to date.
So even though there are fewer kickoff return touchdowns this season, the ones you do end up getting are AWESOME. There's no hard explanation as to why, despite having to field deeper kickoffs, returners are getting more yardage and longer return TDs. One theory is that the rule has made returners smarter about when they decide to take the ball out of the end zone and when they decide to kneel. Coverage teams could also be caught off guard by the rule, assuming returners will kneel, only to be unprepared when they decide to rocket out of the end zone and ruin their shit.
Anecdotally, how many times have you seen a kickoff returner botch fielding the kick, pick up the ball, and then suddenly break off a huge return? I feel like that's happened on more than a few occasions, and the reason why could be that the time spent dithering with the ball could help the returner see the running lanes better. If you field the kick later, the coverage is closer to you and the gaps are more apparent. Like a baseball player who can defer his decision to swing at a pitch a split second longer than another player, a returner who gets a closer look at the coverage can better exploit it. And once he gets behind that first wave of defenders, there's no one to stop him from housing it.
And the new kickoff rule hasn't hurt scoring at all. The leaguewide scoring average is up from 19.7 last season to 22.1 this season. Despite having a poorer average starting field position, offenses are still managing to score more points and rack up more yards. Think of how you used to play Madden or Bill Walsh College Football back in the '90s, back when those games were awesomely unrealistic. You'd purposely field your kickoff and run out of bounds at the one so you could rip off a 99-yard sweep play. That's kind of what has happened here. The longer field has given passing offenses more room to rack up gargantuan stats. And that's fun to watch, unless you're playing against Tom Brady. Then it's ass.
So hats off to the new kickoff rule. If anything, they should move that shit up to midfield.
The Games
All games in the Jamboroo are evaluated for sheer watchability on a scale of 1 to 5 Throwgasms.
Five Throwgasms
Packers at Falcons: I want to join a fantasy league where you can bench players in the middle of the game. I know part of the whole fantasy strategy is figuring out who to start and who to sit, but it's bullshit. If you're a real football coach and you have an underperforming player, you can bench his ass in the middle of a game. You can't do that in fantasy football. You set your lineup, and then the player you started eats shit while one of your bench players blows up and you have to sit there and TAKE IT UP THE ASS, like a dipshit.
I find this unpleasant. I want to be REAL pretend football coach. I'd much rather be able to have a league where I can bench a player in favor of another player. The key thing would be to mark those benchings in real time. So if I bench Michael Turner after the first quarter in favor of Ryan Torain or something like that, I still get Turner's 1Q stats and Torain's stats from the 2Q on. Then, if Torain gets hurt (NOTE: will actually happen sometime in Week 6), I can put Turner back in the game. It would reward you for paying attention, and it would be fun to see a player get benched and then score two touchdowns in the span of three minutes before you frantically put him back in the lineup. Fantasy will always find a way to torture you like that.
Jets at Patriots: Nick Mangold looks like Layne Staley if Layne Staley were still alive and was addicted to Hostess apple pies instead of heroin.
Four Throwgasms
Bears at Lions: Did you hear Buck and Aikman at the end of Lions/Cowboys last week, when they didn't realize it was fourth down when Felix Jones ran out of bounds? How do you fuck that up? It says it's 4th down right on the screen. And then someone finally told them it was a change of possession and Buck was like, "Oh hey, it was 4th down. Whatever." Can you at least TRY to give a shit? Stop writing Pearl Jam fanboy stories and pay attention, you dick. At least we get the next three weeks off from Buck because of baseball.
Titans at Steelers: I was at the airport last week when I had to go take a piss, so I go to the men's room and I start pissing at the urinal. There's a little counter above the urinal where you can put stuff, and someone had left a Starbucks coffee cup on the shelf above my urinal. So I'm sitting there taking a piss when some asshole barges into the bathroom frantically, runs up to the row of urinals, reaches in front of me while my dick is in my hand, and grabs the cup. And he's like, "Sorry, forgot my coffee." HOLD THE FUCK UP, PETER KING. Okay? Your coffee isn't that important. You can jolly well sit there and wait for me to do my business before interjecting yourself into my piss session. TOTAL FUCKING BREACH OF ETIQUETTE. There was a dude next to me pissing as well and both of us were so stunned by the intruder that, like a couple of bitches, we said nothing. I need a time machine so that I can go back and give that fellow a piece of my mind. Why, I'd give him the what-for, let me tell you! Anyway, if you left your eggnog cuntjuice latte in front of someone actively urinating, LET THEM FINISH. The gall of this man... THE GALL!
Three Throwgasms
Bucs at 49ers: Why does Cleatus have a shield now? He's a robot. He's made of metal. Why does a giant metal robot need a giant metal shield to protect him? He's MADE of shields. I fucking hate that robot. I hope he gets robot AIDS. A reader wrote in a while back to note that the dude who invented Cleatus is worshipped around the FOX offices for coming up with him, and that makes me want to become an Amish person.
Raiders at Texans: There's nothing particularly awful about the new LeBron James McDonald's ad. And yet, when you saw LBJ appear on your TV this weekend with that shit-eating grin, didn't you want to punch him in the nuts? What the fuck do you have to be so happy about, cocksucker? You're a choking dog and America hopes your Monopoly pieces don't match and you end up POOR and DISEASED.
Eagles at Bills: It's a six-team bye week! NOOOOOOOOOO! Oh God, six-team bye weeks are awful, and now we've got four of them in a row coming up. It's like playing fantasy football with no legs and partial blindness. I really wish every team took a bye at midseason. Just get it all out of the way in one painful weekend. Don't parcel out the agony like this. Knowing I can't see the Dolphins or the Rams play this week... it's just too much to take.
Panthers at Saints: I took my kid to the circus on Saturday and I spent the entire show trying to figure out what the private lives of all the performers were like. There were sixteen tiny little Chinese dudes dressed in Day-Glo outfits jumping around and doing pyramids and all that crazy shit, and all I could think about was their hourly wages. I bet they made three bucks a show. These guys have to do two shows a day, and they're contorting and jumping around and almost certainly causing lasting damage to their joints that they will cripple them in old age. I pictured some shady circusmaster with a twirly mustache backstage laughing over a pile of cash and then throwing nickels at all the trapeze artists. There's just no way your life ends well if you're a circus performer. Either you end up destitute, or you end up being Steve-O.
They also had a little girl planted in the audience who turned out to be one of the trapeze artists. She was, like, eight. There's no way that's legal. I also watched the rope lady climb up and down the big rope and spin around and it was obvious to me that every other male performer in the circus had made a pass at her at some point. She was definitely the hottest carny of them all. Circuses are shadyass places.
Two Throwgasms
Chiefs at Colts: I swear to God, Todd Haley looked like he didn't even bother to shower last week. It looked like he got up at 11AM, hopped in his Camaro, drove to Arrowhead, told the parking attendant to fuck off, smoked a pack of unfiltered Camels, and picked a fight with Matt Cassel just because he was in a shitty mood. He even had the asshole beard going. It was a quintessential Haley performance.
Cardinals at Vikings: Former U-Minnesota coach Tim Brewster was the sideline reporter for FOX during last week's Vikings game, but "reporter" wasn't really the right word. Gus Johnson would throw it down to "Coach Brew" and then Brewster would just start yelling for no reason. It was one of those things where a TV network hires an ex-coach to talk as if he's coaching one of the teams on the field, and delivering a motivational speech to that team, and it was awful. Mike Rand took down some of the worst quotes, like this one:
In Arrowhead on an NFL Sunday, are you hungry or are you starving?
What the fuck? Hey shithead, I'm not playing in this game. Just because your sorry ass can't find a new coaching job doesn't mean you get to take it out on me. I hate analysts like this.
Bengals at Jaguars
Seahawks at Giants
One Throwgasm
Chargers at Broncos: Because I am a shitty fantasy owner, I do a lot of waiver wire trolling, and I always go to the waiver wire hoping that some superstar was left there by accident. It's like checking the fridge repeatedly when you know there's nothing to eat in the house. I keep hoping I'll open up the free agent list and be like HOLY SHIT! SOMEONE DROPPED CALVIN JOHNSON! MINE MINE MINE!
Pregame Song That Makes Me Want To Run Through A Goddamn Brick Wall
"Nowhere Again," by the Secret Machines. I left at my iPod at the gym last week and when I called to ask if it had turned up in the Lost & Found, they said yes. And the fact that it turned up there without being stolen or urinated on made me ecstatic. My faith in humanity was completely and utterly restored. I want to lose something valuable one more time just to see if the world can pleasantly surprise me all over again.
So I go to the gym to pick up my iPod and the dude behind the counter finds it in a drawer.
ME: That's the one. That's mine.
HIM: (looks at me suspiciously) Okay, in that case... (turns on iPod, looks at song currently being displayed) Who sings the song "Now You're Gone"?
ME: (excited to know the answer) The Secret Machines!
HIM: (hands the iPod to me) Here you go.
AW SHIT YEAH! I totally aced his exam and proved to the man that I wasn't some perverted looter. I pictured myself as a Russian double agent when he asked me that question, knowing if I got it wrong that the microfiche would fall into the wrong hands and the world would be blown to shit. It was thrilling. I wish people would spring pop quizzes on me all the time. You seventh graders don't know how good you have it.
Embarrassing iTunes Library Track I Own That Will Not Fire You Up
"Get Together," by Madonna. Madonna was chosen to be the musical guest at halftime of the Super Bowl, to which reader Bob Majoras had this reaction:
Not like there was anyone like John Mellencamp from Indiana with music to please the masses.
No shit! Or they could have chosen fat Axl Rose who's also an Indiana native. These halftimes have gotten so bad lately that they may as well aim to have the most disastrous one possible. Axl would show up six hours late and ask Sebastian Bach to sing all the high parts.
Gregg Easterbrook Is A Haughty Dipshit
Were you a Cowboys fan who was upset that your team "blew the lead" against Detroit? Gregg Easterbrook laughs at your small-mindedness.
Comebacks are sheer excitement. But please don't say they happen because the vanquished team "blew the lead." A football game lasts 60 minutes. Who's ahead early, and by how much, is irrelevant to the outcome.
So true, unless you actually care about the narrative arc of a football game. Were the Cowboys ahead 27-3? Totally unimportant, and you clearly studied at a state school if you think otherwise.
Saying a team that lost after mounting a nice margin "blew the lead" is among the dumbest clichés in sports, failing to grant fair notice to the comeback side. Just because you're ahead early, even if by 20 points, does not confer some kind of mystical right to victory.
This is true, but it makes the idea of winning a whole lot more tangible to the winning side. No one who has watched their team blow a 24-point lead has sat back and been like, "Well, that sucked, BUT MY VERY SMALL BRAIN SHOULD KNOW THAT THINGS CAN OCCASIONALLY EVEN OUT DURING THE COURSE OF A GAME." Thinking that your team "blew the lead" requires you to be a normal human being, instead of acclaimed Brooking Institution Thoughtbot.
Tony Romo threw three interceptions after the Cowboys built their big lead, two returned for touchdowns... He should have handed off — and that's on the coach. In the second half, Jason Garrett was outcoached by Jim Schwartz.
Oh, so Jason Garrett blew the lead by not handing off. I mean really, isn't that what you're saying? A team that had a lead failed to secure it because they did something stupid. That's blowing a lead. SO FUCK OFF. And now let's allow Easterbrook to refer to himself in the third person handle a couple of times...
Tuesday Morning Quarterback would be happy if every football game was a last-second comeback win, there's nothing more exciting in sports. Just don't say the loser "blew the lead..."
As someone who touts undrafted, low-drafted or waived players, TMQ loved Monday Night Football's 59-yard touchdown screen pass from sixth-round choice Curtis Painter to sixth-round choice Pierre Garcon of Division III Mount Union, with undrafted tackle Jeffrey Linkenbach making the key pull block.
Jamboroo loves it when TMQ refers to himself in the third person. What an ass.
Suicide Picks Of The Week
Last week's picks of San Diego, Tampa Bay, and Green Bay went 3-0 (11-1 on the year). Time to pick three potential teams for your suicide pool and something that makes you WANT to commit suicide. This week's picks? Cincinnati, the Giants, Houston and any craft project that uses beads. Every kid has a craft set that includes a barrel filled with 67,000 tiny plastic beads that will inevitably end up on the goddamn floor. DAMN YOU, BEADS!!!!
Postmortal ComicCon News
Did you know there's a New York edition of Comic Con? There is! And I'll be there, moderating the Zombies, Fallen Angels, and Other Paranormals panel at 10:45 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 14. Come on by and we can shoot the shit afterward. Also, there's going to be another Brooklyn event, this one sponsored by Gelf magazine, sometime in November. I'll give out details as we get closer.
Nazi Shark's Vegas Lock Of The Week
Lots of sports sites, to demonstrate the arbitrary nature of gambling, like to have animals like monkeys pick games to see if they can outwit their human counterparts. There's no reason we at Deadspin can't also get in on the fun. So we've asked National Socialist German Workers' Party member Rolf, who also happens to be a shark, to pick one game a week. Take it away, Nazi shark.
"This week, I like the Bills getting 3 points at home against the Eagles. I am sickened that Hank Williams Jr. compared President Obama to Hitler. How many Jews has Obama killed? ZERO. Pathetic. Obama WISHES he were as effective as Hitler. I am tired of people comparing other people to Hitler when they don't have the championship numbers to BACK IT UP. It's like when people say some shithead basketball player is the 'next Jordan.' There will NEVER be another Fuhrer, and that's what made him so special."
2011 Nazi Shark Record: 3-1
Great Moments In Poop History
Reader Neil sends in this poop story I call THE LAND OF MILK AND POOPY:
I work at a catering company who uses a milk company to deliver about a hundred gallons of milk and juice 3 times a week. We start work each morning at 5am. Our milk and juice would get delivered in the winter around 4:30am and the driver would just stack up the cases outside in our parking lot because it was cold enough to keep the milk and juice outside for a little while until we arrived to put it away in the fridge. So, 3 times a week we would have cases and cases waiting for us.
Each Monday morning, and only on Monday mornings, there would be a pile of shit near the cases. At first I just thought it had to be a dog, or skunk, or raccoon or some other type of shitting animal. Surely not a human. Well after two Mondays of this happening, napkins with shit on them appeared on the 3rd Monday. Could it be? Was a human shitting outside our place of work and then wiping his ass? A place that handles food no less? Can't be. Who would do that? Fourth Monday comes: shit pile, shit stained napkins. So after a coworker tells me she has some surveillance equipment we get to work. We hid a camera in a stack of bread racks and hit record. Lo and behold the next Monday morning we hook up the camera and viola! We see the milk truck back up, a dude weighing no less that 3 and a half bills gets out, drops trou, and proceeds to take a monster shit right there in the parking lot, feet away from the entrance to our building. Nailed him!
So I call the milk company and explain the situation to his superior. The response, "Ok sir, we will talk to the driver and ask him to take less time when he is in your bathroom". "Oh no no no, you're not understanding me", I say. "He is shitting outside the building on the ground and I have a hidden camera tape to prove it". I kid you not, there was 15-20 seconds of awkward, "let that shit story sink in" silence. I honestly think the guy threw up in his mouth a little. To wrap it up, the boss told me that the driver will be suspended and his route will changed so that he does not deliver to our location any more. Sadly, he did not wish to view our surveillance tape.
But I wish to! Nothing finer than a heavy man shitting outdoors.

Fantasy Player That Deserves To Die A Slow, Painful Death
Frank Gore. Oh, you have got some nerve, you PIECE OF VAGINA. Not only did Gore fuck over his owners, he fucked them over twice by ruining the Kendall Hunter handcuff. And the worst part about is it that Gore probably won't have a better game all season. YOU CRUEL, CRUEL BASTARD. The next time it's been announced that you aren't starting, DON'T GAIN 100 YARDS AND SCORE A TOUCHDOWN. It really upsets people.
I'd also like to issue a FUCK YOU to Aaron Rodgers, who I played against last week. You could have been content with four TDs and moseyed over to the bench, but noooooo. You had to keep scoring and scoring. TMQ SAYS YOU AREN'T SPORTSMANLIKE.
Gametime Snack Of The Week
The brisket at Franklin BBQ in Austin, Texas, where I ate last week. And I'm quite sure I'll never eat anything that good ever again. I waited in line for an hour to eat this brisket and holy shit, it delivered. The man cutting the brisket even held up my piece to ask me if I found it satisfactory. I DID. Then I sat down with my friend and gave the brisket oral pleasure for half an hour. It was goodness.
I always thought that Anthony Bourdain had the dream life, going around the world and eating the very best food and snorting the very best cocaine. But then I realized that Bourdain must wake up at 3AM in his apartment craving some Chinese fried pig heart that he can only get at some restaurant he went to in Melbourne, Australia two years ago. That must be TORTURE, to pine for various foods you know are so far out of reach. If I crave a burger, I can go to Five Guys. But if I crave Franklin BBQ brisket now, I'm fucked. SUCH IS THE DOWNSIDE OF EXPERIENCING IMPOSSIBLY LUXURIOUS FLAVORS.
Gametime Cheap Beer Of The Week
Wildschwein! Reader Todd sends in this Swiss delicacy:
This Wildschwein Bier just popped up at the grocery store here in Switzerland... I have no idea why it is named after wild boars, but I think it's better that way - I just hope it is pork flavored. It comes in at around 10 Francs for 10-pack, which qualifies as cheap by crazy Swiss standards.
No shit. I went to Switzerland that is the most expensive boring country in the universe. Anyway, I'm game for any beer that features a bunch of feral pigs on its packaging. It lets me know that beer was produced by, like, nature and shit. I MUST HAVE IT.
Robert Evans' MVP Watch!
Time to start thinking about who the leaders are for the NFL's MVP award. So every week, legendary Hollywood producer Robert Evans will join us to give us his assessment. Take it away, Mr. Evans.
"Baby, my favorite for the NFL's MVP this year is Aaron Rodgers of the Packers! And congratulations to my favorite 85-year-old crooner, Tony Bennett, on becoming the oldest man to ever reach the Billboard Hot 100! Italian? YOU BET! Still got it? YOU KNOW IT. A lot of people think that Tony was the inspiration for Johnny Fontaine's character in The Godfather, and he was! I remember Tony asking if he could stay at Woodland for a month while he was recovering from coke addiction. At first I said no, and then one morning I woke up and found a dolphin's head in my bed! And I thought to myself, 'God, that's weird. ANOTHER dolphin head? I gotta lay off the quaaludes!' But it turns out that was actually a threat! Anyway, we used that story in the movie, only the dolphin's head was changed to a horse's head because it looked better on camera. We decapitated sixty different species to figure out which one looked best in the picture. Sawing off a giraffe's head is hard work! I'm glad it was my assistant Caesar who did it and not me!"
Sunday Afternoon Movie Of The Week For Dolphins Fans
Copycat, which is itself a copycat movie, produced specifically to take advantage of the popularity of The Silence of the Lambs. It's not the greatest movie ever (Sigourney Weaver's character is agoraphobic!), but it does have one scene where the killer (a seemingly normal fellow) is hanging out with his mom, then goes down into the basement, and we discover that his basement is actually an underground torture chamber where he keeps his victims. So now any time I walk into someone else's house, the first thing I wonder is if they're keeping a drifter strapped to a surgical table in their basement. Because you never know now, do you? Bob across the street could be a closet sadist. Don't put it past him.
Gratuitous Simpsons Quote
"I am loathe to interrupt your meditation, sir, but the time has come for money to change hands."
Enjoy the games, everyone.

Venturas Club Posters
The Venturas Club
was a youth club
in Thornton Heath
in the 1940s and 1950s.
The members cycled, swam,
acted and partied.
When Queen Elizabeth the second
was crowned
they created a prize-winning float.

Jeanne recalls the Venturas club's
1953 coronation celebrations:
"I certainly remember the carnival,
the float
and the idiots that were on it,
they looked like idiots.
But I can't remember exactly
how it was decided
what they were going to do,
maybe just because the club
was so involved in sport.
That was probably the reason.
But it was pretty good,
they won third prize.
It was quite well decorated
and there were two fellows
dressed as stone age men.
My husband, I think,
was dressed as a girl guide.
Not sure about that,
I think he was,
and various other things."
Joining the Venturas Club
The Venturas Club started up in 1946.
It was the junior section of the
Thornton Heath Ratepayers
and Residents Association.
By the end of their first year
there were more than 150 members.
Jeanne joined soon after that.
The members organised
football and tennis matches,
swimming galas, debates,
shows and outings.
It was a great way
for young people to meet.
Jeanne even discovered
her future husband Monty there.

Before You Get Wool Rich, Get Wool Smart: A Guide to Wool in All Its Forms
_Finding, curating, and selling quality goods, while educating guys on what it is they're actually buying, is Bureau of Trade's mission and one they do quite well. Each week the site is bringing GQ readers thoughtfully selected items for all of life's needs. _Up today: everything you didn't know about the world of wool.
When it comes to winter apparel, we have one piece of advice: don't be a sheep; wear one. The unknowing herds will graze over the mass market woolen offerings like... the sorts of animals who clump together for protection from predators (apologies - we donated our metaphors to charity this season). Most consumers possess a cursory knowledge of wool varieties by touch and price, but few of us actually know what we're paying for (and if it's worth it). Today we're here to make you smarter, with a brief primer on all things wool. Why? Because if we can't add the heat ourselves, the least we can do is shed some light. With that...
Know this: Wool is a general term describing the spun fibers from the hair of any number of mammals. In the US, wool typically means wool from sheep, but we're not restricting ourselves to things that baa. Mohair, cashmere, and angora are all technically types of wool. Alpacas, goats, sheep, vicuñas, llamas, rabbits, and even on are sheared to produce the fabric. And yet, since sheep produce a substantial majority of the world's wool, it's as good place as any to start.
There are two varieties of wool produced from sheep worth talking about: Lambswool and Merino.
Lambswool is what it sounds like - the wool from an adorable, unsuspecting baby lamb who probably thinks it's bath time or he's headed to a playdate with some chickens....and then everything gets very, very cold. Specifically, lambswool is wool taken from the first shearing of the animal, usually around seven months (after its first coat has come in). It's fine and soft, and requires minimal processing.
Lambswool can come from any species of sheep, but merino wool is only the wool that comes from a merino sheep. Not all merino is created equal, however. If football is a game of inches, merino is a game of microns, specifically the diameter of the follicle (they have microscopes). The smaller the number, the softer and more expensive the wool. Garden variety merino wool clocks in around 23 microns (human hair is around 40 microns in diameter); fine merino around 18 microns; superfine is 16; and the king of kings, ultrafine, is anything less than 15.5 microns. The uninitiated will tell you that cashmere is the finest textile on the planet. Those who know, know that ultrafine merino is without substitute or equal.
Call us uninitiated: cashmere might be the finest textile on the planet. Thanks to Capra hircus laniger, the cashmere goat, we are warmer and softer than a butterfly with a fever all winter long. Cashmere goats are raised all over central asia (Mongolias inner and outer), China, Australia, and New Zealand. Don't let their rough-looking, vaguely hobo-esque outer coats fool you. It's the downy, short hair close to the skin that makes for fine cashmere. Nineteen microns is where cashmere becomes cashmere. Anything more should be regurgitated and sent back.
Mohair is wool that comes from the Angora goat, which is not to be confused with angora, which is wool that comes from the angora rabbit. It is coarser than cashmere (24 microns), but it wears hard, responds beautifully to dyeing, and we consider it the most underrated wool textile for menswear. We say: give us mo.
See: Shahtoosh (and if you find some, we'll buy it off you)
Angora rabbits look like Roombas made of hair, but that hair is incredible, at 11 microns in diameter (that is softer - but also more fragile than cashmere and ultrafine merino). Angora's hard to come by, especially for menswear, but it adds an element of luxury without inviting the rage of the fur police.
Alpacas are tiny little cousins of the llama, weighing between 150 and 200 pounds. Their wool is soft and we're fairly certain they'd be down to play fetch.
Qiviut is the super-warm undercoat of this arctic stalwart. You aren't likely to find Quiviut on the rack at Banana Republic, but if you're in Alaska, and you're freezing your balls off, your balls can do no better than this dense, shrink-proof wool.

The abandoned remains of a houseboat once moored in North Augusta yielded lots of challenges -- and some unwelcome surprises -- for volunteers who removed it from the Savannah River."It was coming all apart and making a mess," said Tonya Bonitatibus, the director of Savannah Riverkeeper. "For the last three weeks we've been pulling out long pieces of wood and big hunks of styrofoam and all kinds of junk."
The deteriorating blue houseboat's owner had the upper portions of the boat removed, but the L-shaped floating foundation was abandoned and eventually drifted downstream and came to rest on the South Carolina side of the channel.
"We needed to get it out of the water because that area is frequented by wakeboarders and people in boats," Bonitatibus said. "It was going to cause an accident."
Earlier this week, volunteers that included members of the Augusta Rowing Club, Riverkeeper and the Southeastern Natural Sciences Academy teamed up with Craven Auto Salvage and Thompson Wrecking to move the platform to the boat ramp at Augusta Riverfront Marina, where it was finally pulled from the water late Thursday.
It took a heavy-duty tow truck provided by Craven Auto Salvage to slide the dock out of the water at the marina, where it is being dismantled and being placed in containers provided by Thompson Wrecking.Read more at http://chronicle.augusta.com/latest-news/2010-09-03/houseboat-salvage-yields-challenges-surprise

One of George W. Bush's daughters to speak at Planned Parenthood event
Barbara Pierce Bush is reportedly set to be the keynote speaker at a fundraising luncheon next week in Texas
Barbara Pierce Bush is reportedly set to be the keynote speaker at a fundraising luncheon next week in Texas
Texas Tribune has reported that Barbara Pierce Bush is set to be the keynote speaker at a North Texas Planned Parenthood fundraising luncheon next week.
While fundraisers like this are held throughout the year in Dallas, Austin, and Waco, the announcement of Bush headlining the event in this political climate comes as a shock to many, as her stance on social issues differ significantly from her father, former President George W. Bush. The event will take place in Fort Worth, Texas, and raises money for the organization to continue providing reproductive health services throughout greater Texas.
Barbara, who founded the Global Health Corps, an organization that partners with emerging leaders to build health equity, expressed her support for Planned Parenthood in a 2016 New York Times interview that also featured Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood. Barbara's mother, former first lady Laura Bush, has also said she was pro-choice in a 2010 interview with Larry King.

(Re-post from Couple's Nest dated August 23, 2010)
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. Luke 17:19
As I was reading my Bible this morning, I came across Luke 17:11-19. The LORD then stopped me and did not allow me to go any further till I settled what I needed to get right with Him. Conviction set in greatly that when I wrote want happened in my personal diary, what He had done and how I saw myself in that passage, I decided to share a bit with you, but not all as it is between Him and me. What I am sharing you now is just a few thoughts of the goodness, mercy, and grace of our LORD that we tend to overlook and take for granted.
If you read what I learned with your heart into it, you will be touched. What I saw were 10 lepers ALL cleansed, yet only one turned back to give Jesus the glory and thanks due Him. You see, all ten had to walk afar off from people due to their disease. They had to restraint themselves so as not to contaminate others. They lifted up and protrude their voices above normal tone to communicate with people. They did these for Jesus to hear them and He heard their plea of mercy.
But, after their faith had made them whole, who came back? Did all ten to thank Jesus for what He had so mercifully done for them? Did they made effort to glorify Him and shout the victory in Jesus for the great miracle that Christ the Lord had done for them? NO! Nine out of the ten left, went their good old merry way and took for granted what Jesus had just done for them. Don't you think after such a miracle, they all would of returned to give Jesus thanks and fall at His feet as one did?
So I ask you, which one are you? Are you 9 of the ten that the Lord has given everything? The you who constantly accept what He gives you, yet you NEVER return to Him to give Him the glory due Him? Do you give Him the thanks that He so faithfully deserves? Do you glory in yourself, your own lusts and indulgences and never give one iota thought of what God Almighty has done in your life? Do you get on your face to cry out to God and thank Him for the life He has given you by not throwing you in Hell yet? Do you even give Him one moment of your time in prayer each day, or do your bible studies on a regular basis? Or do you do so little that you think you are good and righteous enough to get by each day with reading and praying as little as you can, making yourself to be a spiritual giant for our God?
Now, about the one that returned, he came running back all excited, happy and thrilled to the bone because after he had gotten healed by the Lord Jesus, he acknowledge His greatness and went out to proclaim the name of Jesus to others. I saw in this one cleansed leper that he witnessed to others about what Jesus had done for him. I am sure he led many others to Christ by testimony. He was once spotted by the blight of sin and disease, he is now clean. I myself personally believe this one who 'turned back' with a loud voice, glorified and thanked Jesus at HIS FEET; probably in tears and his heart full of joy, is in heaven now.
So again which one are you young man or woman? Are you the one who glories, thank and praise God every day for ALL He has done for you? Or are you one of the nine who has been given everything by the grace of our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, yet ignore His goodness and mercy? Do you just live for yourself portraying as a just and righteous person who THINKS you walk with God, if saved? Or if you are not saved and born again, you may have that same attitude like many do, yet proclaim "saved" as they do.
In this great passage I can see our Lord Jesus Christ's great compassion as He healed the lepers. I saw His abounding grace as He decided to give to them all , even to the 9 who never returned to give Him glory, thanks and reverence. I saw the Lord Jesus' righteousness as He did not condemn those who did not return to give glory due to His holy name. I saw His mercy which He did not have to give, but He did because He knew they did not deserve it, yet He still gave to them His healing. I saw His goodness as the Lord Jesus immediately saw their desire and need to be made whole.
Though Jesus never had to do anything for them, yet, He chose to show them His unique goodness by allowing the bondage they were in to be released and cleansed. I also saw Jesus as He is the only one who can cleanse anyone who is under the chains of the self life. These lepers were under a chain of heaviness after which Jesus Christ lifted it off them. They were relieved and though the others may have been thankful in some little ways, they were not really like the one who returned. I felt this man who returned was convicted and he loved Jesus in a way that he was so excited when he thanked and glorified Him.
What about you friend? Do you want to have a walk with the Lord each day and have His blessings pouring down on you ? He can give you much. If you have never trusted Jesus as your personal Saviour, you will never be released from the bondage of your sins together with the chains of this old world. It's carnality will drag you down into an inferno of hellfire. You shall never see the face of the One who can save you from such a fiery, tormenting place.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will give you peace, happiness and joy. After salvation, you will still go through trials and bad times. Never listen to fake televangelists who say you will never go through any bad times anymore. They will just lead you astray. Listen to people who know better, even if they speak in biblical truth and hurt your ego. They do mean well and you will be directed to the truth.
Yes, as a Christian, we will all go through many trials, and will be tested by the world or by God Himself. We all go through things that are unpleasant, but that does not mean God is not with us. He is there with us through everything. We just need to keep our faith and trust in the Lord to help us through all things. He will help us in our walk each day with Him.
John 3:16, probably the greatest verse in the Bible on salvation, tells you that 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.' God is where you are, the distance between the floor and your knees. Your religion, works, penance, or keeping His commandments will not save you. Only trusting in Jesus as your personal Saviour can. You will be delivered from a hell, and saved by the blood of Christ to be with Him in heaven forever.
My prayer is that the Lord will convict those who read this, and will do a miracle in saving a dear soul from the pits of hell. He will give that person His grace and that person will make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. He will be cleansed from the chains of sin and be renewed in soul, mind, spirit. He will call on the name of the LORD in humility and tears, and have a life that is committed in serving our risen Saviour. He will turn from all sins and live for Jesus Christ.
If you come to be saved, please drop us a line here on our blog. We love to hear how the Lord delivered you, how you are serving Him and all the blessings He is giving you.
God bless us!
(c) August 2010, Michael Carey

The Warriors built up a 4-0 lead in the first period and it was all the offence they would need. The Tribe also outshot the Pats 14-0 in the opening period. Moose Jaw's goals came from Justin Kirsch, Brayden Point, Cody Beach, Torrin White and in the third period, James Henry. Regina's goals over the final 40 minutes came from Trent Oullette and Lane Scheidl. The Warriors outshot the Pats 32-16.
Regina was without goaltender Matt Hewitt (broken wrist) and captain Brandon Davidson (seperated shoulder) along with forward Dyson Stevenson (suspended). The first two were injured in overtime of Game 4.
Congratulations Pats on a fine season and good luck Warriors the rest of the way.

As the next farm bill is crafted, it appears a shift from commodity programs to rural development will be a focus for the Obama administration.
Testifying before the House Agriculture Committee on Wednesday, USDA Secretary Tim Vilsack provided a set of five priorities for rural America: broadband access, renewable energy and bio-fuels, regional food systems and supply chains, forest restoration and private land conservation, and ecosystem market incentives.
For Vilsack's full testimony, see http://agriculture.house.gov/testimony/111/h042110/Vilsack42110.pdf.
For more on the next farm bill, see http://deltafarmpress.com/cotton/next-farm-bill-work-starts-soon-0419/index1.html.
Conservation programs
Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long for committee members to pounce.
"In your written testimony, under the heading 'the importance and challenges of rural America and its future' nowhere do you talk about the farmer or the safety net of production agriculture," said an incredulous Oklahoma Rep. Frank Lucas, ranking member of the committee. "I worry that this is symbolic of an issue that's becoming of much concern in the countryside. That is: does the (Obama) administration have a disconnect with rural America?
"Are you telling the committee that the administration's key areas of emphasis in the next farm bill will be broadband, renewable energy, biofuels, regional food systems, supply chains, forest restoration, private land conservation and ecosystem market incentives? Are those really the primary issues where the administration will go in the next farm bill?"

Vilsack replied that the five priorities are "significant issues that need to be addressed (while) recognizing this committee will obviously focus on risk management tools, direct payment programs and the traditional safety net.
"I think it was important for us to expand the discussion, to understand and appreciate how important broadband is, how important potential ecosystem markets can be in terms of additional income sources for farm families … (and things) that are necessary for people to keep the farm. I think it's important for us to see this as an expansion of the safety net, which is important to farm families."
Lucas was not mollified. "So, can I assume that the USDA's proposals for the next farm bill will look something like the budget submissions made during the appropriations process with proposed cuts in direct payments, crop insurance subsidies and most conservation programs? Will we see the types of proposals in the next farm bill that we see in the annual budget submission?"
Vilsack: "I think it's important for us periodically to, sort of, recalibrate. There may be opportunity for us to utilize those resources in an effective way. … There are 60 million people who live in rural communities. Obviously … there's a tremendous amount of work (in those areas) that needs to be done. … We will work with this committee on making sure, as best we can, to protect the baseline. I know (the committee needs that) to do your work."
Lucas — who represents a district that was "the abyss of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl of the 1930s" — asked Vilsack how many of the conservation programs "including EQIP, CSP, WRP and GRP actually have final rules in place?"
Under the 2008 farm bill, the USDA has rules "we're working under," said Vilsack. "We're getting resources out the door. We're in the process of finalizing the (rules). But it hasn't stopped us from entering into contracts.
"In EQIP, for example, there are a substantial number of contracts — about 13 million acres and $1 billion being provided."
Further, Vilsack claimed "737 rules and action steps" needed to be taken to implement the 2008 farm bill.
Lucas, clearly irritated, asked if the Obama administration's aim is to turn rural America into a "bedroom community."
Vilsack pushed back, saying the conservation programs would get more funding. At the same time, "the reality is we can create better-paying (jobs) in rural America — centers for energy production, for example, (like) bio-refineries, people who build them, those who maintain them, work at them. Those are good-paying jobs and they'd be sprinkled across the landscape.
"If you create broadband opportunities, not only would farmers and ranchers have real-time information but small businesses they, or their spouses, are operating could expand from local to global. That creates economic activity. … You can allow wealth to generate within the community. … This is about making rural areas vibrant places where young people, particularly, are anxious and interested in setting up their families and establishing a life."
The U.S. dairy industry continues to struggle and Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, committee chairman, asked Vilsack about the recent appointment of a dairy advisory board.
"There is a consensus … from most, if not all, regions of the country of dissatisfaction with the current (support) system," said Vilsack. "Last year, there was a concerted effort by Congress and the (Obama) administration to try and respond by providing additional commodity purchases, by providing additional price support, by providing additional resources at the end of the year."
Herds were reduced systematically, "and appropriately," in the later part of 2009. If that had continued, "one assumes that prices would have continued to improve. … Unfortunately, what we've seen in the first part of 2010 is an increase in herd sizes. That is why the advisory committee is so intent on getting a process in place that will allow us to have predictability and stability."
The USDA awaits the advisory board's conclusions and, in the meantime "we're focused on trying to expand credit opportunities. We are suggesting that some dairy operations are large enough to consider the possibility of using the Business and Industry Loan Program, which is often not thought of a vehicle for credit."
Dairy producers have said a top priority is a mandatory, expanded price-reporting system for dairy products. Vilsack agreed with the need and estimated the cost of expanding the program will be about $2.5 million.
Kansas Rep. Jerry Moran wanted to know "about eligibility for Advanced Biofuels Assistance Program producer grants." Kansas has several companies that, in Moran's opinion, "should be eligible for the grants but aren't 51 percent owned by U.S. citizens. … We're in the process of excluding a company that uses Kansas biofuels and employs Kansas people. This is an important component of their financing."
Vilsack said that particular eligibility requirement needs "rethinking" and "that's on the front burner."
As the growing season progresses, Moran also wanted to know about a Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) sign-up. "When will that sign-up occur? If the sign-up is in July or August, we probably need a short-term extension for land coming out of CRP."
The USDA is "awaiting the additional environmental information that must be completed as a condition preceding the general sign-up," said Vilsack. "Our hope is it is done expeditiously. We recognize the pressure that producers, landowners and we're under to get this done as quickly as possible. I'm a bit concerned about committing to a specific month (for sign-up) … but we're anxious to get this done quickly. As soon as the environmental work is done, we'll be ready to move."
Moran: "Can you commit to a quarter?"
Laughing, Vilsack replied, "I will, if you're a forgiving individual."
Iowa Rep. Steve King was also keen for answers on biofuel policy. "We're watching biodiesel plants across the country be mothballed and shut down. I think I counted 14 in Iowa. One is being dismantled and shipped to India.
"We're waiting on Congress for a decision on the blenders credit," continued King. "I think some in Congress don't understand that millions of dollars have been invested to try and follow the government's lead on renewable fuels. Now, (those in the biofuel industry) find their capital frozen or devalued while waiting for Congress to follow through."
Action is "long overdue for us to address this and provide this vital industry … the tax extension," said Vilsack. "It needs to have taken place yesterday. There has been some indication it will get done before Memorial Day. That would be my wish and hope."
Cap and trade
King, pointing to "climate-gate" and the failed climate summit in Denmark, also asked Vilsack if his earlier views on climate science had changed.
"I have reviewed the science and it doesn't fundamentally change my attitude about this," replied Vilsack. "I deal with the consequences of (global warming) every day.
"A prime example is in the West with the bark beetle infestation. The reality is that because winters aren't as severe as they once were, these beetles … survive the winter when they used to die. I've been told … there's over 7 million acres impacted by this bark beetle. We expect 100,000 trees to fall daily for the next decade."
