After making the reservations,the hotel sent a you tube video on how to find it in the maze called Venice. Quietly tucked away in an alley,it is a convenient location to walk to water front or take the taxi to St. Marks. Right outside the hotel is a great place for drinks and nibbles...can't remember the name but the front desk directed us there when we told them we just needed a quick bite before exploring the city. Staff friendly and helpful.

Dear Families of Germantown:
When I decided to run for the 2012 school board election, I was inspired to do so because of the financial challenges that were affecting our state, but most particularly, our own school district. After living in Germantown for over eight years, I became dedicated to the schools and teachers who actually challenged my children in a way that would set them up for future success. In addition, with all of the actions in Madison over the last two years, I found it difficult to understand the split in the political atmosphere. As a conservative, I understood that Governor Scott Walker was trying to do what was best for the state, but as a mother, I had a difficult time understanding the punishing climate that seemed to be engulfing our communities. There were too many perspectives that became "black and white, right or wrong" – there was no middle ground. In my campaign I had hoped to bridge the gap between political climates. However, my message was not strong enough and that is ok.
The truth is our school board should not be a political battlefield; it should be a non-partisan board of intelligent people who believe in doing what is best for the kids. We need team players who will utilize the tools available to protect the things that are great about our district while making the necessary financial adjustments that will enable our schools to be lean but very successful.
Let's face it, the easy out during this financial hardship is to punish the teachers who, by talk radio's standards, are the ones who have taken advantage of the system. However, if you do the research, our Germantown teachers have NOT been taking advantage of the system at all. They are among the lowest paid school district employees in 45 southeastern Wisconsin school districts. None of our teachers called in sick during the rallies and none of them took advantage of the "fake doctor's excuses" that were doled out for attendees at any rally. There are so many preconceived notions out there that punish our Germantown teachers, just by association. These are unfair and untrue for our district employees.
This upcoming school board election is critical in our district's future; we need people to care about the election and the future of our schools. We are at a crossroads where a two million dollar deficit could impact the quality of education for our kids, along with the potential to "sock it to the teachers" by decreasing their already low pay and benefit package; if you don't think this could inspire some of our fabulous teachers to look for jobs in other higher paying districts, think again. Teachers are not in it for the pay; they are in it for the passion. That passion serves each of our children very well. Germantown schools are considered top performers statewide and nationally – because of the dedication of our teachers and school board. While some may think that teachers are easily replaceable, I beg you to think about how specific teachers inspired you to be what you have become as an adult. The proper advisor understands their subject matter and has an interpersonal relationship that inspires each child to be their very best.
In attending the public forum on March 14th, I was able to hear what three candidates had to say about their potential terms on the school board. They were impressive, intelligent, fair, dedicated parents who want the very best for the district. They are invested in education for the biggest reason of all – our children. We need to continue the tradition of excellence in our schools.
I hope you will join me in supporting Lisa Laskowski, Greg Anderson and Tom Bowe for the April 3rd election. They are fabulous team players, are willing to think out of the box on issues that affect our children, will work towards what is best for our district, be fiscally responsible and will work WITH and FOR the community.

Great area n very clean!
Had the do not disturb tag on door n house keeper still open de door!
outdated - cigarette burns on furniture
The wi-fi was very good. The beds an pillows (3) usually you get two were more comfortable then my bed at home. I was trying to find a name on the mattress so I could buy one. We will definitely stay again when we come to the flea market.
We didn't have enough toilet paper the first night. One receptical didn't have a plug cover. My son wanted eggs for breakfast.
I liked it was in a nice location off of Cleveland Avenue away from the traffic where you wouldn't hear the noise I really liked it ..
the room that I was in upstairs on the second floor you can tell they are going under remodeling this dress need to be replaced and the nightstand needed to be replaced the hot water not knob kept coming off out. It takes you 15 to 45 minutes to tunr it off
Checking out. Good for the price we paid. ( get what you paying for)
Needs cleaning. My daughter got stung by a wasp as there was a large wasps nest under stair well as we were going up to our room. We had somebody knocking at our door numerous times through out the night & didn't feel safe after that & couldn't sleep.
Great location, friendly staff, clean & comfortable room. Nice pool area & the place where breakfast was provided was nicely appointed. There were TV's, places to sit and read, free USA Today! I like having a fridge & microwave in the room too along with LOTS of pillows!!
Initially the room smelled like a strong cleaning substance had been used. I cranked up the air and it was pretty much gone. it would have been nice to have the room "freshened up" prior to my arrival especially since I had a reservation and my first night was paid for when I reserved on line to lock it the great price. Also, I would have appreciated some fresh fruit at breakfast or even out when folks check in. Some oranges, apples, and bananas are inexpensive & it would balance the high carb items offered for breakfast.
Room was OK and beds comfortable. Mels Diner on the opposite side of the highway was a great place to eat.
Was charged almost 20% more than the Booking.com confirmation that we had when booking. Everything is a bit outdated. Apart from the diner opposite, nothing that handy for eating. Breakfast not that great.
$50 deposit
I saw at least five roaches in the bathroom area and the carpet was dirty. My feet were black after walking around in the room.
Front desk was not cooperative Roach infested Possibly bed bugs No cribs for baby Electronic key did not work Outdated TV Rusted Refrigerator w/ jammed door No manager on Duty
The price
There is no internet connection in room #171. I had to leave my valuable belongings in the room because of the manager was absent and nobody else could give me the key for the inroom safe
Swimming pool opened early and closed late, rooms were roomy, had an ice box, washer and dryer on site, staff was friendly, had all my grandkids and staff was very nice to all of us.
I did see one roach upon my arrival.
Bed was awesome
ICE Machine
Old building, dirty room, just nasty overall.
I liked the location
Rooms wasn't cleaned daily No towels given on a daily basis Personnel rude Can't get in touch with front desk
Location was close to the center of town.
Ants in the room, not clean at all. Bathroom was small and not appealing. The other occupants were exceptionally loud and must have lived at this location.
I did not really like anything.
I found a roach walking on top of my luggage, garbage under the beds. to be honest,I know the Hotel has cheap price, but cheap does not mean hotels has to be dirty, We are a medium class family,but that does not mean We are dirty family.
Location, friendly staff, reasonable for the $$$
Breakfast: 1 waffle maker (so we didn't get anything), offer no meat, eggs, cereal, fruit, etc...only thing they had was honey buns, toast, waffle (if you were lucky enough to be only one in line), juice machine down 1st day of our 2 day stay.
The room was small but clean. The kids loved the pool area.
The staff wasn't very friendly. The Wi-Fi service was very poor.
Location was great. Not on top of the road so it was quiet also. Beds were comfortable. Room was regular size for 2 queen beds. Breakfast was good enough (cereal, waffles available, etc.) Pool looked inviting but we didn't have time. As long as you aren't looking for the Ritz, understanding you aren't paying for the Ritz, then you won't be disappointed. Clean beds, breakfast, parking, clean bathroom.
lots of LIVE little roaches on the fridge and microwave! YUCK!!
Continental breakfast was nice but could use more variety of sides to go with waffles ex. Bacon
That I didn't get to use the pool...weather saw to that but my stay was great
House keeping knock to much
Good price and location.
There were cockroaches every where in the room. Many lights were out and only one ice machine worked in the entire hotel.
No meat for breakfast.

It's Time for the RP Army to Flood Dylan Ratigan's WebsitesSubmitted by barracuda_trader on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 09:23
Dylan has tried to bring his MSM resources to bear on Ron Paul's ideas.
We have not given Dylan the same attention that we give to the detractors and hit pieces.
It's time to stop wasting our time and energy reacting and forge ahead doing the things that will put Ron Paul out in front of the pack.
Ron Paul Exclusive: Who's Regulating Washington?
- Login to post comments
I like Dylan
and he respects Paul.
His ideas are honest and he is genuinely concerned about the nation and sees Ron Paul as a vehicle toward a solution. So in that regard he respects Paul and has been influenced by Paul's thinking a great deal.
As for the issue of Dylan's amendment, though I haven't read it, but from what he says, theoretically, it makes a great deal of sense.
Basically, the "auction" held by the federal government for goodies, services, & contracts needs to come to an end. The lobbying and all of the corruption that comes along with it is out, and any congressman or senator who takes money is out. That goes for judges, the president, and candidates of all types.
It's a good idea.
Ending the Fed fixes a lot of this nonsense as it is the source of origination to these morality issues, but it would still go on even if our monetary system was a backed dollar currency.
So it is a very noble effort on his part. Get the buying influence out of washington. It's very straight forward.
"It does not take a majority to prevail but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
--Samuel Adams
Why not a repeat of the Audit the Fed effort?
We got a partial audit, the first since the Federal Reserve was establishment in 1914.
Dylan Ratigan can't vote "to legalize competing currencies." What's the point, but wasting time and effort?
Free includes debt-free!
Ron Paul's Army
I like that. It reminds me of Harry Potter and his friends create Dumbledore's Army in the 5th movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." This my top favorite of all the Harry Potter movies.
I hesitate to heap too much
I hesitate to heap too much praise on Dylan, and would rather leave it at a "thank you" for his polite treatment of Dr. Paul. The reason I'd keep Dylan at arm's length is that he always seems to have his own position or agenda item for which he is seeking Ron Paul's support. The most recent example is some constitutional amendment regarding money that he has asked Ron Paul to endorse. I think that candidate Paul is the smarter of the two, and that Dylan should endorse Paul's candidacy, rather than try to lead him, who knows where...
Other than Jon Stewart there are very few supporters
In the media for RP. Would rather show guys on the fence some love than bang our heads into the wall with o'reilly and the rest. We need to amplify those guys rather than shut them out for some suggestion they had and needed someone credible to agree with them on.
Check out this video of Dylan......strong!
I think he is saying exactly what the OWS people are having a tuff time articulating.
I am not quite sure if you support Dylan or
you do not like what he is doing. Can you clarify please?
Dylan is the real deal
We give oreilly a ton of air time in here and need to start giving supporters like Dylan some love.
Very, Very nice of Dylan
Dylan always loves what RP says. He isn't QUITE on board with the depth of the philosophy yet, but he is always enthusiastic and respectful.
You are right, we should be sending him thanks for this one.
Thomas Jefferson: "Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever."

Irish Composer Frank Corcoran to Attend the Premiere of VARIATIONS ON MYSELF
Frank Corcoran -- the noted Irish composer -- will be in New York City to attend the premiere performance of his recently completed chamber orchestra work Variations on Myself .
A founding member of Aosdána - Ireland's state-sponsored academy of reative artists - Corcoran who was born in Tipperary in 1944 completed his musical education in Berlin under the supervision of Boris Blacher. His Two Unholy Haikus won the Sean Ó Riada Award at the 2012 Cork International Choral Festival and the First Prize in th 2013 International Federation of Choral Music.
Several of his orchestral and choral works are available on recordings issued by, among others, the NAXOS, Col-Legno, and Caprice labels. For almost thirty years he taught composition and theory in the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Hamburg, Germany. Corcoran first visited the US in 1989 as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Subsequently, he has been invited to lecture at Indiana University, CalArts, Harvard University, Boston College, New York University and Princeton.
As basis for his recently completed work, Variations on Myself, Corcoran employs a melodic theme derived from the pitches suggested by the composer's name: F-D-C#-Eb-C-A. Melodic and harmonic materials are generated by mutating these pitches while strict metrical writing of the strings contrasts with undulating lines in the wind instruments
often moving at their own tempo.
The free-admission concert is part of the North/South Consonance concert series, now on its 33rdconsecutive season. It will take place the evening of Tuesday evening March 12. The GRAMMY nominated North/South Chamber Orchestra under the direction of its founder Max
Lifchitz will also premiere four other works especially written for the occasion by composers representing a wide variety of styles. In addition to Corcoran, the other are: Harry Bulow, Binnette Lipper, Joyce Solomon Moorman and William Pfaff.
The concert will start at 8 PM and will take place at the auditorium of Christ & St. Stephen's Church (120 West 69thSt - between Broadway and Columbus) on Manhattan's West Side. Admission is free-- no tickets necessary.

About some of the OP items
I hated the Aidell's meatballs so much I forgot I liked the sausages. I hadn't tried the habenero and green chile before and they were good and had a nice zing. Aidell's has recipes which are pretty good on the package. I tried the black bean and sausage on this pack (with a few added spices and real black beans not canned). With 2 cans of those 69 cent Hunts tomatoes ... including costs for what I had at home this was 4 generous servings for a total of about $5.
The artichoke has really nice pieces of chopped artichoke in it and the recipes suggests mixing with breadcrumbs and stuffing an artichoke. This sounds like a swell idea to me so they sit in my freezer until I find an artichoke I like.
Those little tangerines are really good. This is the end of the season so check the bag to make sure there isn't a tangerine gone bad in there. This is true everywhere for clementines at this time of year.
I didn't think the $6.99 boxed Koala shiraz was worth it. It was competing price-wise with Franzia and wasn't any better.
The Tindini boxed wine ... I don't know. I've always read about wines that have notes of 'tobacco'. This has a loud chorus of tobacco in it ,... strong, strong tobacco taste ... might make me take up smoking.
I am sure that Montreaux sparkling wine was wonderful at one time (originally $39.99) However, it lost most of its bubbles like a bottle sitting uncorked a few hours. Even not as its best, the wine itself had such a good flavor I'm sorry it lost the bubbles.
Those Gibson wines are really decent for recipes.
I like the smoked scallops.
The paper towels .are actually not bad for a cheap paper towel. Not as flimsy as some and compared favorably with Bounty. I bought one roll to give it a try and then went back and bought a dozen. Good for wiping up food spills in the kitchen.
BTW, at the bottom of the cash register receipt is a number to take a survey and have a chance to win a $500 food card from Grocery Outlet ... that could keep you in Grocery Outlet food for what ... ten years at those prices. Painless survey ... alas, I was not a winner but can take another shot in 90 days.
re: rworange
Saying that something is no better than Franzia, is like saying its no better than CRAP. Sorry, but there is a limit to how disgusting and industrial wine can be. If you were to buy Frozen BEEF lips, that is the food equivalent of Franzia wine.
At the Oakland store there is a 2001 White Burgundy from Faiveley that is decent for 3.99 a bottle. and the Cordier box may be decent, but Franzia and Koala?
re: jason carey
That's exactly what I was saying trying to avoid the word crap. It is just if someone were unfamiliar with these boxed wines they are best avoided. I took the bullet. Thanks for the suggestion on the Faiveley.
The Berkeley store also has the herring in sour cream. Thanks for the heads up about that. I haven't had any since the Richmond Costco stopped carrying it. I also bought a 24 oz. Seeds of Change Puttanesca sauce for 1.99. I've had good stuff from them in the past. Also Newman's Own peanut butter cups for fifty cents. Dark chocolate!
re: Glencora
Never mind about the peanut butter cups. They have a funny aftertaste.
re: Glencora
so do the caramel cups, even worse. i tried both. i guess it's the chocolate? i think there might be some coconut oil in there but i don't have the package on me.
re: choctastic
Not sure of the reason. The wrapper says that it has palm kernel oil.
The GO in West San Jose had AlterEco (fair trade) 100 gram chocolate bars for $1.99 in two varieties: dark chocolate with roasted almonds (which is also organic) and milk chocolate with cashews and raisins.
Interestingly, on looking at the labels, I noted that neither bar contains an emulisifier (lecithin) that almost all chocolate bars -- even high end ones -- have. The dark chocolate bar also has no vanilla, which I prefer. In fact, it's one of the better chocolate bars I've tasted recently, and certainly a great value at that price. They also had the dark chocolate Snickers snowmen (which Oakland was out of) -- I stocked up! (vbg)
Some interesting things at RWC GO today...
I didn't get these but noted them:
The Greek Gods greek yogurt (vanilla cinnamon orange flavor- $2 for 1
(Seriously, no commas. That's one flavor)
Land O'Lakes "Country Morning Blend" -- 60% margarine, 40% butter, 1 lb. block.
Silk soy milk (individual size box) vanilla flavor - 3 for $1
Seeds of Change pasta sauce -- Porcini mushroom and Puttanesca - $1.99
Newman's Own Organic Tomato Basil sauce - $1.99 (I think)
Even more Xmas candy & cookies have come in -- Crunch bar Jingles, gingerbread slice and bake cookies. They also had a party pack of Kaukauna cheese balls -- 3 flavors in case you didn't get enough over the holidays. :-)
The stuff I did get was pretty boring --
Quaker instant oatmeal - apples & cinnamon - $2.49
Shop Rite Organic Rosemary and Thyme potato chips - $1.69
Chunky "Healthy Request" Chicken Noodle Soup - $1.59 (seen them at Target for the same price)
Rykrisps - Seasoned - 99 cents
From last month, I tried the Kahiki Foods frozen General Tso's chicken. I've seen it at Whole Foods. It was fine, but nothing to write home about. The chicken had a nice actually grilled flavor, the frozen veg was ok, but you could tell they were frozen. Brown rice in it was pretty flavorless. They also have Szechuan Beef and Mandarin Orange Chicken.
re: kivarita
The Greek Gods yogurt is terrible -- avoid at any cost! It's not real strained Greek yogurt, it's just got added thickeners.
On the other hand, those ShopRite organic potato chips are yummy.
Stopped by the Hayward GO and bought:
1) Hardy's Shiraz/Grenache box wine 3L for $2.99
2) Jack Daniels BBQ sauce 99 cents (expiration 7/08)
3) Portofino ground coffee (28 oz) $2.99
No Aidell's sausages here, only another brand (Chef Select?). Also no tangerines. This store appears smaller than Berkeley or Oakland locations.
re: baron45
Just a note on the items purchased above:
1. The Portofino coffee is awful-----very bitter.
2. The Hardy's wine is very light, almost rose-like but it is not labeled as such. Too fruity and without any backbone.
3. Haven't tried the BBQ sauce yet.
Been a pretty slow month for GO finds...Spotted today at RWC GO:
-Essn sodas/juices - meyer lemon and pomegranate cherry - 99c (www.drinkessn.com
)-Pacific Foods organic crushed tomatoes - 2 for $1
-Wallaby organic yogurt (vanilla bean flavor) - 3 for $1 (exp. Feb. 6)
-Uncle Louie G Ice Cream (strawberry, spumoni) -- purports to be "homemade gourmet" yet has HFCS...who knows.
-Three Thieves Syrah (mini-jug)
re: kivarita
Yeah, it has been a slow month
The Pacific Foods organic crushed tomatoes (tomato sauce also available) in 13.7 oz boxes are fine. The crushed tomatoes are really more like a chunky suace or puree. The are both on the neutral-side taste wise. Nothing exciting. I bought some more sauce after trying since I doctor it up anyway. I'm not sure yet if I want more crushed tomatoes. WIll have to see how they work in a recipe I'm making tommorrow.
A few other items
- Tropicana Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice (not concentrate) 1/2 gallon $2.29
- Smoked mussels 79 cents (good)
- The 79 cent Seagold smoked oysters are pieces which I saw after the fact. Whole smoked oysters are 99 cents
The San Pablo store seems to have the best selection of Aidell's sausage. Yesterday they had pesto (haven't tried it yet) and my favoirite hanenero. $2.99
The 3oz packages of Pillar Point wild Alaska salmon (pink or sockeye) were good. Oakland carries them. I liked the sockeye a little better, it was deeper pink and a bit oilier. They were 99 cents and $1.49. I don't remember which is which, but I'd say price difference-wise, there's not a significant difference so go with the 99 cent one whichever that is.
Skip - Back to Nature Harvest Blend trail mix $1.29. This would have been good if the dried apricots weren't rock hard and inedible. The walnuts had an off taste too.
Meh - Domain Laurier Brut $5.99 ... I had the "brilliant idea this would be great with the ruby red grapefruit juice ... SO wrong ... on it's own it was only ok. Wouldn't buy it again.
Seasons have changed and the little three pound bag of clementines are now small mineola tangerines. These are good as far as mineolas go but I don't like mineolas in general because I like sweeter oranges. I am guessing labeling laws changed with the new year so you might check the label out ... it's sort of the same thing I'm guessing as the law labeling balsamic vinegar.
Grape tomates are $1.29 and about the same quality as those I bought at Whole Foods last week for $1.50 ... out of season ... but if you gotta have a tomato the price is good, just not much flavor.
I guess there isn't a cheap boxed wine I can resist. Though Robert had a thumbs down on the pinot grigio, I gave Angel Juice reisling a try ... and I don't like reisling ... so what's that about?
It actually wasn't bad .... not reisling though ... kind of inoffensive. I think this was way too kind to it.
Thank you so much for making this a regular thing. I love Grocery Outlet and I love these postings! It's just fantastic to hear about the bargains. I plan on adding my info as a reply too. In fact, here's some right here:
1. Jones Soda: Cherry Soda, diet- is a buy
2. Hansen's Ginger Green Tea, diet- is a buy
3. Les Comtes de Provence Clementine Preserve, orgainic- is a buy
4. St. Dalfour French Recipe Fig Preserve- is a buy
5. Back to Nature all Natural Harvest Blend fruit and nut mix - is a BIG bargain and a buy. Watch the dried apricots. They are a little hard but still enjoyable
6. Kashi Brand stuff- all of it I bought was good - they are a buy
7. Ghirardelli caramel squares do not have the same after taste as the Newman's peanutbutter cups as mentioned before. - is a buy
8. Orchard Valley Harvest Wasabi Cheddar Supreme "chex"-like mix- NO buy thumbsdown.
9. Spires 1.99 Chardonay- NO buy thumbsdown
10. Spires 1.99 Shiraz- is a buy
11. Fresh strawberries and pineapples are fine. The pineapple is really ripe so eat close to purchase date.
12. Cordier boxed wine red was very "bitty" at the end of the box.
Enjoy our bay area bargains!
re: supersuz
You haven't seen #3 around recently, have you? They sold out really quickly and my understanding was it was a one-time buy. If anyone sees them still in stock somewhere, I'd love to know about it!
Oakland GO today had three brands of organic pasta sauce: Newman's Own for $1.49 and Seeds of Change (Puttanesca and Porchini flavors) and Nature's Best (Puttanesca and Marinara with Garlic) for $1.99. After looking at the labels, I bought one each of the Nature's Best -- I love it when there's nothing in a product I wouldn't put in myself! I'll report back on those when I open them. Ditto on the frozen Mexican veggie mix of poblano peppers, corn, onions and "Mexican zucchini" which was $1.99 for a big (28 oz, I think) bag.
re: Ruth Lafler
The Seeds of Change puttanesca has a bit of heat and a fair amount of olives. I could see the little tiny capers if I looked hard, but I couldn't really taste them. Couldn't taste the anchovies at all. I wouldn't get it again, just because I can make a better sauce myself without too much trouble. I'd like to hear what you think of Nature's Best.
re: Glencora
I opened the Nature's Best garlic marinara tonight, and I was happy with it -- it's nicely seasoned and unlike most commercial tomato-based sauces, it isn't particularly sweet. That is, it's got a hit of tomato sweetness on the front, but instead building and becoming cloying, it fades and reveals some nice acidity and herbal notes on the finish.
re: supersuz
On the Kashi cereals, husband liked the Orchard Spice granola (13.7 oz. box $2.49) and RWC also added the (cranberry) Mountain Medley this week (2 lb. 2 oz. box - $5.99). We'd been buying the Mtn. Medley at Costco in the last few months -- GO price didn't seem that great, but I bought one anyway since our Costco moved on to some other variety.
Berkeley Grocery Outlet this afternoon:
1. Elf Herring Fillets in Sour Cream, 8 oz. jar, $1.99. Best by 2/7/08, wild caught herring of Canada;
2. Alter Eco Organic Chai Spice Tea, 1.4 oz in about 20 tea bags, $1.99, In a cute wicker box, from Sri Lanka. Fair Trade. Best before 6/30/07 (sic);
3. WildWood Hummus, low fat, 12 oz. plastic tub, $1.79. Made with mostly organic ingredients. Also a 7 oz. tub for $1.29;
4. Soy Delicious Tiger Chai non-dairy frozen dessert, one pint for $1.49. Low fat, from Turtle Mountain of Eugene. OR;
5. Seeds of Change frozen entrees, 10 oz., $1.99 each. Athenian Orzo (whole grained wheat pasta) with Sauce, Lentils, Cheese and Vegetables. Also Moroccan Lentil Tangine with linguini, lentils, tomato, raisins. Both entrees are mostly organic. Best before 12/2007.
So far have only tried the Elf Herring and the Soy Chai frozen dessert, both good.
Oddly, walked past De Afghanan Kabob House at 1160 University at about 11:30 am and it wasn't open yet. No hours were posted on the window.
Went by the Hayward GO today and all wine was 20% off. They also had Lindt Madagascar Dark bars and lemon tart milk chocolate bars as for $.99.
The 2002 Cordier bag-in-box I bought a few months ago was (unlike most wines I've bought at GroceOut) drinkable, but it was definitely over the hill, should have been drunk up by probably mid-2005.

November 28, 2014
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - An environmental group says Nevada had at least 61 record breaking weather events in 2012.
A report released Tuesday by Natural Resources Defense Council says Nevada set 36 heat records, 11 snow records and 14 precipitation records.
The report lists Nevada as being in the top 10 of states nationally that had the most weather stations reporting new heat records. Tennessee topped the list with 36 percent. Nevada came in sixth, with 27 percent.
Besides heat and precipitation records, Nevada also experienced 86 large wildfires last year that burned about 680,000 acres or more than 1,000 square miles.
The environmental group is based in New York.

Patent class list (only not empty are listed)
Deeper subclasses:
|Class / Patent application number
|Number of patent applications / Date published
|Handle, handwheel or knob
|Rotary shaft
|Bolt, nut, stud, stud-cap
|Outboard motor lower-unit lock - An outboard motor lower-unit lock has a key, a locking pin assembly and a shaft. To install the lock, a user drills a shaft hole the same diameter as the shaft through both sides of a housing unit below an access hole of the housing unit. The shaft is inserted in the shaft hole, and oriented so that a threaded hole in the center of the shaft can receive a threaded pin section of the locking pin. The locking pin receives the key. The key is tightened. Finally, the user removes the key allowing the locking pin to rotate around and below the shaft, thereby obstructing a bolt securing the lower-unit to the housing unit, and preventing the unauthorized removal of the lower-unit.
|TAMPER-RESISTANT HOSE BIB LOCK - A tamper-resistant hose bib lock is disclosed. The tamper-resistant hose bib lock may be utilized in connection with a hose bib having a threaded end and a narrow region proximate the threaded end. The hose bib lock includes a sealing cup having internal threads to engage the threaded end of the hose bib. The hose bib lock further includes a first mating jaw and a second mating jaw connected by an intermediate hinge. The hinge enables the mating jaws to be positioned in an open state and a closed state. The mating jaws, when in a closed state and positioned around the sealing cup secured to the threaded end of the hose bib, form an enclosure to surround and prevent access to the sealing cup.
|ANTI-THEFT THREADED CAP - An anti-theft device is provided for inhibiting access to a fastener, and more specifically to a fastener head. The anti-theft device can include a base member with an opening for receiving the fastener and a lid member releasably coupled to the base member. The lid member can include a specialized tool recess adapted for receiving a specialized tool, such that only the specialized tool can be used to open and close the lid member.
|SECURING MECHANISM COOPERATING WITH A DEVICE THAT IS TO BE SECURED - Proposed is a securing mechanism cooperating with a device that is to be secured, having a closing part (
|Sealing Bolt - The present invention proposes a sealing bolt (
|VALVE OPERATED BY A MASTER KEY - The present invention relates generally to valves for controlling the flow of fluid and, more particularly, to a valve which is controlled using a master key such that only an authorized person is able to turn the valve on and off. The valve controlled using a master key according to the present invention, which is constructed such that a fluid passage is controlled by rotating a handle relative to a body, includes a locking means for maintaining the locked state of the handle relative to the body. Furthermore, a master key slot, which extends to the locking means, is formed in the handle, so that, when a master key is inserted into the master key slot, the locked state of the handle is released such that the fluid passage can be controlled by rotation of the handle.
|Locking Device - The invention relates to a locking device for a lock opening which is arranged in a wall between a first and a second recipient, said lock opening comprising a blocking element, which is arranged in the inner chamber of the first recipient, and a counter-plate which is associated with the blocking element. A first magnet device is provided in an area of the counter-plate and a second magnet device, which is associated with the first magnet device, is provided in the region of the blocking element. In order to close and/or open the locking device by means of the first and second magnet device, a positive and/or negative contact pressure can be produced between the blocking element and the counter-plate.
|LOCK RECEPTACLE ASSEMBLY - A lock receptacle assembly having a body portion having a first end that includes a bore configured to receive a lock, an end cap removably securable to the first end of the body portion. The end cap having a through bore to allow passage of the lock, such that, when assembled, the lock can lock the end cap and the body portion together. The end cap interlocks with the first end of the body portion so that there is substantially no load on the lock when axial force is applied to the assembly.
|Safety switch - A safety switch is provided in which the open-close condition of a switching contact provided in a lock mechanism is reliably switched in a manner coupled with a motion of a lock member between a lock position and a unlock position. Since a link member, which directly and simultaneously switches the open-close conditions of normally-open and normally-closed switching contacts pursuant to the motion of a lock member, is provided, the open-close conditions of the normally-open and normally-close switching contacts can be switched reliably in a coupled manner with the motion of the lock member between the lock position and the unlock position. As a result, for example, by monitoring the open-close conditions of the normally-open and normally-close switching contacts, it is possible to determine to which of the lock position and the unlock position the lock member has moved, that is, which of the locked state and the unlocked state the rotation of the drive cam is in.
|Air Brake Plunger Securing Device - Various embodiments of this invention is an easy-to-use one-piece air brake securing device designed for use in recreational vehicles, trucks, and other automotive vehicles employing air-operated parking brakes. The device is designed to fit around the shaft of the air brake plunger and to prevent the plunger from being moved intentionally or inadvertently in a manner that may disengage the air brake.

Can "Grit" and "Hope" Predict Student Success?Researchers are beginning to investigate how a student's mentality—particularly non-cognitive factors like "grit" and "hope"—are predictors of success in life. Dr. Angela Duckworth, a professor at University of Pennsylvania, was recently awarded a MacArthur Genius grant for her work clarifying the role that intellectual strengths and personality traits play in educational achievement. The two traits that Duckworth's work examines are grit, the tendency to sustain interest in and effort toward long-term goals, and self-control, the voluntary regulation of behavioral, emotional, and attentional impulses. She has found that grit predicts success in acts that require perseverance, such as placing in a national spelling bee or graduating from a rough high school, better than standardized test scores. Similarly, self-control predicts report card grades and improvements over time better than measured intelligence. Hope is another non-cognitive factor that is being used to predict academic outcomes. Gallup senior scientist Dr. Shane Lopezdefines hope as the ideas and energy one has for the future. Through analysis of over 50 studies on hope, Lopez quantified that all other conditions held equal, hope leads to a 12 percent bump in achievement and leads to higher rates of school attendance, earning course credits, and academic performance. To further this research, Gallup has initiated a Student Poll, which "will track for 10 years the hope, engagement, and wellbeing of public school students in grades 5 through 12 across the United States." Because research has shown that characteristics like grit and hope can be taught, an increasing number of public charter schools are using their freedom to incorporate character education into the classroom, a trend that is likely to boost academic achievement across the board. KIPP NYC schools, for example, are piloting a character education program that takes into accountseven highly predictive character strengths: zest, grit, self-control, optimism, gratitude, social intelligence, and curiosity. This program was designed to support KIPP's goal of getting all students to and through college. This research is still young and it will be exciting to watch what schools learn about teaching these traits and how they incorporate them into their instructional practices over time. Nora Kern is the senior manager of research and analysis at the National Association of Public Charter Schools.
Worth Repeating: Study Shows Public Charter Schools Don't Push Out Low PerformersEarlier this year, we reviewed a working paper by Ron Zimmer and Cassandra Guarino whose findings countered the critique that public charter schools "push out" low-performing students. The final study, published by the American Educational Research Association, looks at the exit patterns of low-performing students in an unnamed large urban school district with a significant charter school market share. The data from school years 2000-01 through 2006-07 showed that although low-performing students do leave charter schools at a slightly higher rate than higher-performing students, this pattern is consistent with the exit rate of low-performing students in traditional public schools. The authors conclude, "our analysis suggests that there is no evidence consistent with the claim that charter schools are in general or at the individual level pushing out low-performing students." You must pay to access the full study, but you can read the abstract for Is There Empirical Evidence That Charter Schools "Push Out" Low-Performing Students?.

National Polls Show Parents Support Public Charter SchoolsLast week, three national polls from AP-NORC, PDK/Gallup and EdNext measuring Americans' attitudes on education were released. The Associated Press-NORC poll did not ask specific questions about public charter schools, but for the other two polls that did charter school breakouts, the results were overwhelmingly positive. All three polls canvassed a nationally representative sample of more than 1,000 adults. The big picture charter findings from the 45th annual PDK/Gallup Poll of the Public's Attitudes Toward the Public Schools include:
- Nearly 70 percent of Americans favor charter schools (This is up from less than 40 percent 11 years ago)
- Two of three Americans support new public charter schools in their communities.
- A majority of Americans said that public charter schools provide a better education than other public schools.
|National total responses to public charter school-related poll questions, 2013 PDK Gallup

Public Charter Schools Growing on Native American ReservationsThis week, we released a new Details from the Dashboard report, which shows that public charter schools are growing on Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) lands across the country. Some key findings from the report include:
- Between 2005 and 2010, the number of public charter schools on reservations increased from 19 to 31, accounting for 15 percent of all public schools on reservations.
- Public charter schools are on reservations located in Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming.
- Most Native American charter schools – 61 percent – are on reservations geographically located in Arizona and California.
Keeping up with KIPP: research on KIPP performanceLast week, the annual KIPP School Summit (KSS) brought together "Team and Family" members from the nation's largest public charter school network—141 KIPP schools in 20 states and the District of Columbia serve more than 50,000 students. In honor of KSS, let's take a look back at what the data say about KIPP's academic results. A Mathematica study on KIPP middle schools was released in February 2013, building on previous research commissioned by KIPP and conducted by Mathematica (see the studies released in 2010 and 2012), and found positive and sizeable performance results in math, reading, science, and social studies (check out our blog to see graphs that translate study effect sizes into additional months of learning equivalencies). In addition to mathematics, the study looked at the characteristics of students attending KIPP middle schools and found little evidence that KIPP schools cream students based on performance, poverty, or race. And similar to results from the KIPP study on attrition, this study showed that attrition rates for KIPP schools are the same as comparison traditional public schools. Researchers from the University of California San Diego released a meta-analysis of studies on charter school achievement in October 2011. This "study of studies" strategy, popularized by the medical research field, pulls together the results from a body of research and analyzes the overall effect of the program. Given the large number of studies on KIPP charter schools, the authors were able to break out the findings, which revealed large, positive results for KIPP middle schools in reading and math. It should be noted that in addition to the stellar academic gains, KIPP schools deserve kudos for commissioning ongoing research that goes beyond academics and seeks to understand how their schools operationally function and serve students. This knowledge is critical to determining whether the KIPP model can lead to improvements throughout the public education system.

Latin Language is Alive and Serving Students Well in Atlanta Charter SchoolMaureen Downey's AJC blog featured a piece by Latin Academy Charter School chair Eric Wearne that proudly touts the school's success. And he's got good reason to boast: in the school's first year of operation, 97.8 percent of Latin Academy's students achieved a "met or exceeded standards" in reading, and 79.1 percent of its students met or exceeded standards in math on the Georgia CRCT exam. It should be noted that the school's 90 sixth graders—93 percent of whom are free and reduced priced luncheligible—achieved these outcomes while studying Latin. As research has shown that early performance of charter schools almost entirely predicts future performance, Latin Academy should look forward to a bright future. We featured Latin Charter on our blog last year when it was only three weeks into its first year. Check out this report to see how other public charter schools are using their instructional focus to drive student success.

Digging Deeper on the CREDO Public Charter Schools National StudyAs we noted yesterday, the Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) at Stanford University released a study using data from 25 states along with New York City and the District of Columbia, and it had a lot of good news about academic achievement in public charter schools. Let's take a closer look at some of the positive findings. In the breakouts by demographic backgrounds, the statistically significant findings of the impact of attending a public charter school compared to a traditional school include:
- Black students gained 14 days of learning in reading and 14 days of learning in math.
- The learning gains for low-income black students in charter schools increase to 29 additional learning days in reading and 36 additional learning days in math.
- Low-income Hispanic students gained 14 days of learning in reading and 22 days of learning in math.
- For Hispanic students designated as English Language Learners (ELL), the increased learning jumps to 50 additional days in reading and 43 additional days in math.
- Low-income students, regardless of race, gained 14 days of learning in reading and 22 days of learning in math.
- ELL students, regardless of race, gained 36 days of learning in reading and 36 days of learning in math.
- Students with disabilities gained 14 additional learning days in math.

Trends in Public Charter Schools' Instructional Delivery and FocusDuring the spring of 2012, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools (NAPCS) conducted its first national public charter school survey. The survey asked public charter school leaders to respond to questions on school waitlists, curriculum, facilities and a variety of other operational elements. A primary goal of the survey was to collect information that would help to better understand the wide range of instructional strategies public charter schools use. With 6,000 autonomous charter schools operating nationwide, the responses to our first national survey demonstrate that public charter schools are a varied bunch. Our new report analyzes the survey responses to provide new details about emerging trends and differences in the instructional delivery strategies and focus of public charter schools. Top trends identified by the survey include:
- Almost three-quarters (71.8 percent) of the respondents use a combination of off-the-shelf and customized curriculum;
- Over half (57.7 percent) of respondents from charter schools that enroll students in grades 9 through 12 described their schools as having a "college-prep" instructional focus;
- Half (49.3 percent) of the respondents indicated an extended school day to increase instructional learning time; and
- Nearly half (48.8 percent) of the respondents from charter schools that enroll students in grades 9 through 12 said their students take classes at local universities or colleges.
Public Charter School Facilities TrendsObtaining the financing and physical space for facilities that are adequate to support a growing student population is a consistent struggle for public charter schools. To gather data points about facilities struggles, the Colorado League of Charter Schools worked with NAPCS to launch the Charter School Facilities Initiative (CSFI)—a national research effort with the ultimate goal of identifying prominent shortcomings in the current capital landscape and to develop public policy recommendations for providing adequate and equitable facilities for public charter schools. CSFI conducted in-depth studies in ten states and recently launched a national report on its findings. During the spring of 2012, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools (NAPCS) conducted its first national public charter school survey. One of the primary goals of the survey was to collect information that would help to better understand the ways public charter school finance and use school facilities. Building on the work conducted by the CDFI, NAPCS's new report, Public Charter School Facilities: Results from the NAPCS National Charter School Survey, School Year 2011-2012, shares facilities-related survey findings. Notably, over half (56 percent) of the public charter school survey respondents do not have access to a facility that will be adequate for enrollment in five years. In the past five years, the growth of public charter school student enrollment has increased nearly 80 percent, and the number of schools has grown by 40 percent. Given this demand, the ability to access and finance adequate facilities is a critical part of public charter school growth. Click here to see a larger version of the infographic.
