- Perfect Sea side diningLULUDined on 11/16/2014i can not say enough about this wonderful restaurant! Perfect food on a perfect day!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mixed thoughts...CeehVIPDined on 11/11/2014We were received by an extremely (and I mean EXTREMELY) rude hostess, Karina, which left all four in our party wanting to walk right back out the door. If we had not been starving, I suspect we would have. The food was very tasty, and we all enjoyed our buffet meals. That being said, I don't believe my husband & I will return on our own, due to the fact that we are San Diego natives and there happen to be hundreds of better breakfast options locally, without the very steep price tag of $33 per person for a breakfast buffet! However, our out-of-town guests loved the ambiance, views, and upscale vibe of the Del, so this might be our go-to when hosting guests.Special Features:
- So glad we made itfarr76Dined on 11/9/2014The last time we were in San Diego we stopped at the Hotel Del just to check it out. We weren't hungry at that time, so we did not stay to eat, but vowed that if we ever came back, having lunch at the Sheerwater was definitely on the menu! Two years later and we are back! On our way from the airport to Carlsbad, we stopped to enjoy the hotel and the beach and a fantastic lunch at the Sheerwater. Our waiter, Gary, was awesome and made us feel right at home. The Grilled Cheese with Tomato Basil Soup was to die for. Fish and chips were awesome as well. Definitely a must do if you are in the area.Special Features:
- Outstanding BrunchNordicsLtdDined on 11/9/2014Excellent brunch selection and freshness. Each item well presented and tasted delicious. Service was great and views beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- $$$$$$$spilledmilkDined on 11/9/2014DIsapointed that the prices have gone up. It used to be $20 something per person. Now it's $33. For that much, you'd think one bloody mary or mimosa would be included, but nope, those are like $16!!! Might as well go to the fancy brunch if you're going to be spending so much money. Also sad to see the omelet bar gone--its fine to order from a waiter instead but wish they had a list of all the signature omlets that were so great. The food was delicious as always though. We especially loved the chilaquiles, the monkey bread, the apple sweet pastry. mmmm And they are always so nice and accommodating to our little kids.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/8/2014our food was cold when we got it. the location is beautiful but food was lacking.Special Features:
- gigiDined on 11/7/2014The ambiance was very nice, and the hotel setting was majestic to say the least. However, there was an outdoor fireplace/chimney near our table in which I had to keep ducking the waiter's tray to allow him to pass. You should avoid seating guests there because it's obviously a thoroughfare and quite annoying if you have to constantly accommodate the waiter's passage during a meal. There were many other tables from which to choose. We were a bit disappointed in the seafood platter appetizer because there was very little flavor in the shrimp and oysters. It was a lovely day spent by the ocean with my elderly parents, but next time we will assert our seating desires more and not order seafood.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always FabulousOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/5/2014Another home run from the great Hotel Del Coronado...everything was perfect. Our server was warm and welcoming and took time to make sure we had a wonderful experience. This is a vacation spot year round for locals:) Lucky us.Special Features:
- A Special Night!!DianaJDDined on 11/4/2014Dining at The Del Coronado is always a special experience. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful and the view is breathtaking. It was our 31st Anniversary and the staff made us feel like royalty. We were thankful we choose to celebrate at The Del. It will be a memory that will last a lifetime.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The perfect view!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/1/2014We were so thrilled to have a table in front of the fireplace with a view of the water! I appreciate so much that Sheerwater placed us there and that we had an opportunity to request it through Open Table! Wonderful evening, thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/1/2014Service was gracious and attentive. Nice wine and cocktail selections.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pass on this placeBeachgirlDined on 10/27/2014I can't believe the prices for this place. It feels like a sterile diner. No ambience. That's part of the experience I'm willing to pay for. I had a burger over $20 with a side of fries. Choose a different Hotel del restaurant. The brunch set up might be worth it though.
- Longtime Coronado TemKBinCasperDined on 10/24/2014My Husband and I always try to make it out to special landmark as the ambiance is so wonderful. We didn't want a full dinner so I had the shrimp scampi and my husband had the fish and chips. Both entrée were nice sized and we were so full. Also ordered the cauliflower au gratin-very very good-almost as good as the au gratin potatoes they used to have. The one negative about the Hotel Del is the prices of the drinks are $15 which quickly increases the tab significantly! I would recommend dining here for the overall experience of what a classy place was like many years ago--not hard to imagine the ladies in their long dresses, wide brimmed hats and parasols. The hotel is a must see as part of the experience. They will validate parking.Special Features:
- Atmosphere OnlyKaymoDined on 10/22/2014The only reason anyone should ever go here would be the amazing sunset. But, remember you can see the sunset without paying very high prices for very poor food while waiting almost an hour to receive that poor food.Special Features:
- Poor serviceCherVIPDined on 10/19/2014Service was horrible, ordered a salad and crab cake, took over an hour!Special Features:
- Have been there many timesJoeFDined on 10/19/2014My wife and I go here a lot. It is here favorite place in San Diego (although it's in Coronado). We went this time as part of her birthday (and our anniversary) weekend and had an enjoyable time. We had brunch then stopped by the bar to watch a Charger game. The food was good and the service was a little slow but the waiter was really friendly and attentive. The only shocker was what we paid for parking ($48 for 3.5 hours, even after the restaurant validated our ticket!). WE used valet, next time I'll find street parking! Overall it was a nice time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect lunchCasualfoodieDined on 10/18/2014Beautiful setting, attentive service, and delicious food made this impromptu lunch just perfect. We shared a delicious crab cake appetizer and then went for the Alaskan salmon and crab and chicken pasta dishes. Fresh ingredients and bold combinations made our meal fabulous. There happened to be an event happening on the lawn in front of our outdoor table, so we also were able to enjoy live music while sipping wine in an ideal climate-- not bad people-watching, either.Special Features:
- Best service food so soOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/17/2014Our waiter Manny was "the best we've ever had" - stated by my husband and daughter, and I would agree. Sadly, the food was only so so, especially for the price. You pay for the view and ambience, the food needs a little improvement. IMHOSpecial Features:
- Deliciouseats48Dined on 10/17/2014Awesome date night with my wife with the perfect surroundings!Special Features:
- Great food and service!ESLocalDined on 10/16/2014Our server was attentive and friendly, and the food was great!Special Features:
- Birthday DinnerSunshineDined on 10/13/2014The food and the view were great but the drinks at $15.00 a drink were not worth the price. I ordered a Mojito and my husband order a Rum & coke...too much for an okay drink. Fish & chips were good and they even treated me to a birthday tiramisu!Special Features:
- Great lobster menuOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/12/2014We enjoyed an amazing meal. We will be back:) The lobster special waffle appetizer was fabulous...Special Features:
- Poor service and food qualityDontgothereDined on 10/12/2014Server was rude. At first, he told us he wanted us to switch seats (not tables) because "we were on his way." We refused, and then he started pushing the chair everytime he was passing by. Steak was over cooked, it got sent back. Food was OK, yet not worth the price. Do not go there!!! It is the worst dinning experience I have ever had, definitely price and quality are not equally proportional.Special Features:
- SheerwaterOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/12/2014I brought girl friends for an outdoor lunch. We loved the food and the view. Great experience. Our server Jessica was wonderful. Professional, friendly, patient and attentive. The entire wait staff was marvelous. I live in SD area and am so happy I brought my out of town friends to the Del.Special Features:
- Sunday Brunch Overlooking OceanJNunezVIPDined on 10/12/2014What are great place for Sunday brunch! At $33 for a fancy Sunday brunch given the beauty of the location, this is really special. The fancier hotel restaurant has a more expensive version (and I presume the offerings are that much fancier), but this Sunday brunch was delicious and had more than enough to offer. (No dessert, however, if you're needing that!) Nice selection of pre-made items in chafing dishes along with a few made-to-order items.Special Features:
- Can't beat the viewkendrarelDined on 10/11/2014The outdoor seating area is clean and has a European feel to it. The food was very enjoyable and the selection was really great. You can have anything you want here for brunch.Special Features:
- Great nightJaxprsDined on 10/7/2014The food was great and the view was wonderful. The fireworks from another event on the grounds made for a great ending to the eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/5/2014Suuuper expensive for what you get, food wise. Food is fine and all, just not at that price point. You are definitely paying for the location.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/1/2014One of the best meals ever! Gary our waiter was outstanding! He was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best place to beOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/30/2014A dining experience that you don't want to come to an end.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Views with great foodDinningDivaDined on 9/28/2014We had the lump crab appetizer - very plentiful and nicely presented. The Chilean Sea Bass was excellent and the side of asparagus was cooked to perfection and our wait person Mary was wonderful she kept an eye on us while we watched the sunset and enjoyed the view.Special Features:
- LOVEOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014This is where we had our wedding reception and we went back for our 5th anniversary. I love this place especially if you get outside seating!Special Features:
- Terrible servicewillDined on 9/25/2014We went for restaurant week and unfortunately it seems like since we chose from that menu the waiter decided he was not interested in us. Other tables that ordered off the main menu got their meals a long time before we did. Took over an hour to get our mealSpecial Features:
- Loved the patio great ocean view.BaseballladyDined on 9/24/2014Historical hotel with this lovely patio with great ocean view Great for lunch and yummy Bloody Mary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great brunch buffetyupitsmeDined on 9/21/2014I usually HATE buffets, especially breakfast buffets - when we came here with our guests from China, I had hoped for a menu and lunch and our only option was the buffet because we were too early (10:45 AM) To my surprise, the breakfast items were better than I thought it would be - I thought it would just be overheated scrambled eggs, stale pastries, etc but the food items were tasty, fresh and flavorful. Something for everyone, even cheeses and salami, lox bagels, eggs benedict, really good pastries. I'd come here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A shame how much this has changed.92118residentDined on 9/21/2014First to note, the prices have raised tremendously, this used to be a 19.99 buffet, with an added 5.00 charge for all you could drink mimosa's. Now, the cost of the buffet has increased to 32.00 and the mimosa's are 11.00 a piece. Quite the increase... On my most recent visit, I was sad to recognize just how much else had changed. There is no longer an omelet station and has been replaced by a series of warm dishes. They also used to have a wonderful homemade yogurt which has been replaced with pre-packaged chobani. The service was not particularly attentive and I felt rushed all morning. The view remains wonderful of course, but it is hardly the place it used to be, much like the rest of the island, it has taken a turn for the worst.Special Features:
- Scenic diningluvcoronadoDined on 9/20/2014The scenery was great. We were able to watch a wedding along with some hummingbirds on our dinner. The service could have been better as we waited for our drinks and our parking voucher was not validated as asked. The waitress did Apologize for waiting for our drinks and compensated us with a free dessert. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Shearwater..shear delightfinedinerDined on 9/20/2014Our waitress Sarah stands out in my review. Kind, attentive, professional, and fun! We went to shearwater to celebrate a friends 55th birthday. There were 8 of us. We had the breakfast buffet. 31.00 per person but the food was good. Fresh baked goods, fresh fruit, lots of hot items, and you could order custom omelettes also. The price was worth it for all the food that was available.Special Features:
- what a great place to have a mealOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014I am so happy that my wife and I came to the Sheerwater! The staff was kind and prompt and our server Manolo was outstanding! Not only did his recommendations of the food prove to be spot on, but he made sure that our drinks were served to promptly. We had the oysters for our starter and they were absolutely amazing. The seared scallops in butter are my new fave. The burger and lobster Mac are to die for as well. When we left my wife had forgotten her license and Manolo remembered hearing us talking about meeting some friends at the b&s bar and came and found us! That is service over and beyond and I feel lucky to eat at an establishment that treats their patrons this special. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed!chipDined on 9/13/2014We had a group of 8 and the food was very disappointing. The service was good but the food was not worth the money.Special Features:

GOSHEN A resale and consignment store in the Maple City is offering area educators classroom materials at a discount. With the continuous cuts to school budgets, more teachers are providing the essentials on their own dime.
That's why one teacher took it upon herself to help.
"School Yard Sale started as a dream for me," said Dee Conn, the owner. "I wanted a store locally, but I didn't want to get a business loan, I didn't want to go into debt. So when I came up with this model, I thought it really fit the community's ability to give and also to receive."
The store offers books for all ages, classroom supplies, decorations and more. School Yard Sale operates 90% from consignment and 10% from donations.
Conn opened her doors in early July, after debuting at First Fridays in downtown Goshen. The store is located inside a building with other consignment stores on Main Street. Conn says the interest level has been high.
"We had people coming in immediately," said Conn. "So I knew there was a need."
For more information, visit the School Yard Sale website.

In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
Many of the '98 actioned Mausers in 7x57mm were for South American countries. To my knowledge none of the European nations who were involved in the World Wars used 7x57mm '98 actioned rifles.
Spain did have '93 and '95 Mausers as well as 1916 Mausers in 7x57mm, but as someone else said, these are small ring Mausers, and not quite as robust as the '98s.
If the OP is really interested in these rifles as far as WWII history goes, neither is likely to be significant in that regard. Enfield MkIII and No. 4 rifles would be primary, along with some No. 5 carbines, in .303 British.
For Mausers, the '98s in 8mm would be the primary players.
If you want something that reflects Mauser or Enfield history in South America or India then these may be fine. They can be good shooters if you limit your ammo to that of similar pressures that they originally shot.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
"...from my cold dead hands" Charlton Heston & NRA
"He which hath no stomach to this fight,/ Let him depart." Henry V
Try to find a m24/47 yugo mauser for 200 dollars or less. For the price you just cant go wrong. 8mm if you reload it yourself performs just as well as 30-06 and they make darn good truck guns. It's almost impossible to buy a modern day hunting rifle built as well as an old mauser.
I appreciate you guys' advice.
It sounds like both of these guns have some significance - though maybe the Mauser more.
The $375 price seems a little high, although I realize that you can't buy a whole lot for a lot less than that. Seems like $300 is the breakpoint for any kind of quality firearms today. But old guns... it's the old thing of ... ya gotta find the right buyer...
Any more thoughts on these two guns would be greatly appreciated!
Most M98's were 7.92mm same as the MG42's so that you could use the same ammo.
So 8mm ammo was used in these(8x57mm JS) but be careful as there's 2 types of 8mm ammo to be used so get it checked by a gunsmith 1st.
The .303's were the common round in most SMLE'S with some being converted to .308 in later years and used in Korea and VietNam but with the advent of the SLR in 7.62 Nato the .308 Enfield basically disappeared from the military scene.
The .308 converted Enfields actually ended up being used in Australia for target shooting and were very successful both here and in competition against the Brits in the Queen's Shoot competitions using an Australian barrel made in South Australia under the name "OMARK".
Hope some of this is useful info,regards
The ability to think and speak doesn't necessarily guarantee intelligence
Ishipores have gone up over time. They tend to be in good condition and that's probably a fine price for a cool chambering -- .303 surplus has largely dried up. I'd have loved another bargain but shall remain satisfied with just a spare original 12-rnd. mag -- that's what it should have. Mausers come in all conditions. 8mm's basically dried up except for alot Yugo. Luckily 7x57 is a GREAT caliber which I'd prefer...
The No1, mklll is a great rifle as well. Especially if you can find an Australian Lithgow.

The Art Of Offering Gift Cards
Do you remember how you accustomed to receive credit cards along with profit these people on your special birthday as well as Christmas time? Effectively, these days that is not as widespread an exercise since it ended up being 10 or 20 in years past. Like gift cards took over and a lot individuals feel convenient providing you with a pre-balance credit card when compared with money. For some reason it seems like they are supplying you with much more of something special after they offer you in which small credit card set with cash. And, that's acceptable for many people due to the fact gift cards suggest the money won't be allocated to charges or something different. It's a fantastic defense to purchase a thing on your own that is certainly just what tilbyder with the gift card been on thoughts. Frequently money gets allocated to charges, gas, or other issues that just are certainly not what anyone might think about good gift!
There are some special solutions to give those small plastic-type charge cards to ensure they are magical. First of all you can find just a little small container that is certainly made especially for gift cards that is decorated and also rather. It truly appears like a designer gift field and it is your "wrapping" as it were for your gift certificate. Folks of any age will like for one of these simple small boxes that will contains a pre-balance credit card to their favourite retailer!
One more enjoyable strategy to give gift cards as a gift contains giving a new wallet with all the gift card currently positioned inside of. Everyone makes use of purses along with finding a wallet as a present is always great. Even so, each time a coupon will be handily located within it makes all the surprise unique!
Needless to say, one other method is to acquire a minute card you need to include the present credit card within. Plenty of handmade cards are created today who have special little cutouts with regard to gift cards in order to range from the giftcard appropriate in the card.
Generally there certainly are a lots of different ways you can give a coupon causing all of choices unique and are appreciated by the receiver. The main component however is usually to ensure you buy a coupon to a maintain receiver really likes. Never give you a gift card to someone if your retailer is just not positioned near these people and always are the amount for the back again of the minute card.

Boy, 9, killed when rifle discharges while playing
Authorities say a 9-year-old Georgia boy has died at a Savannah hospital after being shot in the head.
Effingham County sheriff's officials say the shooting happened Thursday evening at a residence in the county just northwest of Savannah.
They say that Landry Oliver, a student at Marlow Elementary, was shot with a .22-caliber rifle as he and an 11-year-old neighbor where playing in Oliver's backyard. The Savannah Morning News reported that the rifle had been in a shed.
Effingham County sheriff's spokesman David Ehsanipoor says the 11-year-old immediately told a 13-year-old inside the house, and the older child reported the shooting to adults who called 911.
Ehsanipoor said no charges have been filed, and there are "no immediate signs of foul play."
An autopsy is set for Monday.

DENVER, Colo. The Deputy Secretary of State has determined that Bob Beauprez's petition to appear on the Republican primary ballot for governor was sufficient.
Beauprez submitted 23,000 petition signatures to the Secretary of State in March. After reviewing the petition line-by-line, Beauprez was required to gather an additional 1,500 valid signatures from each of Colorado's seven congressional districts.
Upon completion, Deputy Secretary Suzanne Staiert determined the petition was sufficient to allow Beauprez's name to appear on the primary ballot.
Beauprez will compete against Secretary of State Scott Gessler, former state Sen. Mike Kopp and former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo in a June 24 primary.
The winner of the Republican nomination will challenge Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is seeking a second term.
Colorado has no election runoffs, so the top vote-getter in the primaries becomes the party nominee.
Beauprez served two terms in Congress from Denver's western suburbs. He unsuccessfully ran against former Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter in 2006.

Holding watch at a thousand feet
Veteran fisherman, fish spotter and photographer shares his bird's-eye view
By John P. Lee
When Wayne Davis came home from Vietnam to Galilee, R.I., he returned to dragging — the same site on the same boat. Four years later, at 26, he registered for flight school. "I had the sudden inspiration that I wanted to learn how to fly and become a fish spotter," Davis says.
Now aged 66, he's still at it. He's got his blue Coast Guard jumpsuit, his headset, his aviator glasses. He has his camera, a water bottle and a sandwich. His plane is a high-wing, fabric-covered two-seater. It's got a single prop, and instead of a steering wheel, a stick. "They don't make planes much smaller," says Davis. He also likes the fact — maybe it's a good omen — that his plane was built the same day he returned from the war, May 9, 1969.
For the better part of four decades, when Davis flew, he was looking for bluefin tuna or swordfish. His job was to find fish for a harpoon boat and get the boat close enough for the striker to get a kill. Each fish paid, though it did vary, swords at $75 a fish (fuel costs covered by the boat) and bluefin at 30 percent of market value.
But even then, when the motive was all business and he didn't have much time to take shots, Davis carried a camera. "In the course of a day looking for fish you can see some spectacular stuff. If I had the time I'd try and take a few shots."
Lately Davis is an all-purpose fish spotter, working for clients (often scientists or other photographers) to find specific things: white sharks, whale sharks, sperm whales. Davis has the fisherman's sense of when and where. If you ask him about a fish or marine mammal, he'll answer you simply, like a man with nothing to prove, nothing to gain: "We've seen them there before, in July," he might say, "when the wind is blowing onto [Georges] Bank."

Africa Cup of Nations 2013: Togo set to face Burkina Faso for last-four spot
Africa Cup of Nations preview: Alex Bysouth takes a look at the clash between Emmanuel Adebayor's Togo and Burkina Faso
Tottenham Hotspur's Emmanuel Adebayor leads Togo into an Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash with Burkina Faso in a battle of the unlikely lads at Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.
With neither fancied to make it into the knockout stages, both fought off tough competition and struck a little bit of luck, to keep their Afcon dreams alive.
Former Manchester City forward Adebayor witnessed his side go down to an Ivory Coast outfit packed with Premier League prestige during their group opener.
But the Sparrow Hawks bounced back from defeat at the hands of Yaya Touré and co to progress for the first time ever in the continental competition.
After disposing of Algeria in their second outing, the Togolese made hard work of qualification during the Group D finale, relying on some controversial refereeing and a missed Tunisia penalty.
Their opponents, Burkina Faso, were undoubtedly the surprise package in Group C, going through as winners and conceding just one goal.
A score draw with Nigeria was followed up in style when they put four past Ethiopia and meant a point would secure qualification against reigning champions Zambia.
Despite an injury to influential playmaker Alain Traore, the Stallions survived a Zambian onslaught and a goalless draw cemented top spot ahead of the Super Eagles.
The injury spells the end of Traore's competition and Burkina Faso will have to make do without the goal threat of their talisman and Afcon top-scorer in the knockout stage.
Much has been made of the poor pitch at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, having already hosted six games this tournament, as sand patches replace the grass in large areas.
The winner of Sunday's clash will remain in Nelspruit to face either Ghana or Cape Verde in Wednesday's semi-final.

PARK CITY, UT - JANUARY 25: Director Jacob Aaron Estes poses for a portrait during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival at The Samsung Galaxy Tab Lift on January 25, 2011 in Park City, Utah. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images for Sundance Film Festival) *** Local Caption *** Jacob Aaron Estes

When he moved from Lincoln Park to Lala Land, "The Details" director Jacob Estes found himself in a drama featuring some very determined raccoons.
"I planted fresh sod in my backyard and then noticed there were these raccoons visiting every single night, flipping over the sod and looking for grubs and worms," says the writer-director, who made 2004's critically acclaimed "Mean Creek."
Estes used his Chicago wildlife-fighting skills on them. "I went out there and threw a shoe at them. The raccoons just stared me down," he says. "The next night, I put a big fish net over my lawn with a pile of fried chicken on it."
The net was rigged to a pulley. "It was my gardener's idea. He said it was a proven trick," says Estes. "The raccoons moved the chicken to my patio, ripped apart the grass and then ran away. The next night they came back to destroy the lawn with a vengeance."
Frustrated beyond belief, he began to write about his plight and it became the basis for his new dark comedy. "I thought the raccoons would be a funny obsession for a main character. All the tensions stem from there."
A career in Hollywood wasn't exactly the plan for the Francis W. Parker grad. "My mother is a painter, so I was always encouraged and interested in art," he says. "But still in high school, I thought I'd become a lawyer."
In his spare time, he was always taking photographs and writing short stories. "It didn't occur to me that being an artist was a viable future." He began writing plays, which led to screenplays and then "Mean Creek."
"We made that film totally independently," he says. "Then we crossed our fingers."
Next: a topical movie about a man about to lose his home due to a foreclosure who ends up involved in corporate espionage.
"He has to decide how badly he wants to get out of debt but gets involved with the wrong people," he says.
It's vermin of a different kind.

Provide one concise paragraph summarizing the project. If the project is funded, this summary will be posted on the Department's website. (No more than 250 words.)
Through this grant, Pittsfield Public Schools will provide virtual course options for targeted student success by serving student populations with access to: on-time credit recovery, rigorous courses in alternative educational settings, and a fourth year mathematics course which some students may have difficulty fitting into their schedule due to programming conflicts.
For on-time credit recovery, students may enroll in either a Biology 1 and/or English 9 intervention course that will remediate and reteach knowledge and skills that students failed in the prior quarter. We will also prepare and teach a full-year Biology 9 and English 9 course to provide equal access to curriculum and instruction to our Tier 3 alternative education students. These Biology 1 and English 9 courses will be anchored in the courses prepared by Round 1 grant recipients along with modifications made by our local faculty to fit into the district's expectations and curriculum.
Additionally, we will create an online section of Introduction to College Algebra, which has recently been developed through a Berkshire county collaboration of high school and college mathematics instructors using data from Accuplacer and other sources. The goal of this course is to provide students knowledge and skills, in a standards-based curriculum, that are required to be successful in college mathematics without need for remediation. This will be especially useful to students who score below the cut-score on Accuplacer or who need a fourth-year math course to complete their Educational Proficiency Plan (EPP).
1.Describe all existing credit recovery, credit acceleration, and/or alternative education programs or schools in your district(s). If you do not have credit recovery, credit acceleration, and/or alternative education programs or schools in your district(s) please skip to the next question.
a.Will any part of this grant be used to improve the existing programs listed above? If not, please explain.
b.If yes, please briefly explain how the existing program(s) will be improved as a result of receiving and implementing this grant funding.
Pittsfield Public Schools provides a variety of credit recovery and alternative education programs. We offer a traditional summer school as well as an "early" summer school at the end of the academic year for students to recover credit. For alternative educational programming, the district offers a variety of services under its Educational Options for Success (EOS) program. EOS is a three-tier model of support for students with a variety of needs. One goal of EOS is to keep the students in as much of the traditional high school coursework and experience as possible with increasing support services to match student needs. We do have some students for whom the usual classroom setting is not appropriate and they participate in online coursework through a private provider (PLATO Learning) with teachers and assistants supporting and monitoring their progress.
a) This proposal will improve alternative education in our district and could significantly modify our credit recovery model.
b) If we are able to provide on-time credit recovery, we will expect the need for summer school to decline. We also expect that students will be even more successful in their coursework because they will receive additional support to demonstrate proficiency in a course in which they are currently enrolled instead of having to wait until the summer to re-learn essential knowledge and skills. The on-time credit recovery courses will be made up of additional resources and differentiated lessons to reteach the standards from the regular course. If the year-long courses offered to our Tier 3 students are successful, then we would be able to continue to provide these courses and supports locally with our own teachers interacting with and assessing students instead of relying on PLATO Learning as an external source of these courses.
2.Will this grant help create any new credit recovery, credit acceleration, and/or alternative education programs or schools in your district(s)? If yes, please briefly explain the need for a new program and how this grant will help create a new program in your district(s).
The grant will support the development of credit expansion as a form of alternative education that will provide students an opportunity to take a fourth-year mathematics course that may not otherwise be able to fit into their schedule. For example, seniors who are enrolled in vocational programs have tight schedules and it may be difficult to find room in their schedules or a period in the day that meets scheduling requirements for them to take the fourth year of math that is a part of many of their Educational Proficiency Plans. Students enrolled in other programs, including Special Education, Alternative Education, Advanced Placement, or Career Academies may have similar scheduling difficulties that would restrict access to the Introduction to College Algebra course.
3.How does this grant opportunity build the district's capacity to use online learning with struggling students in a way that fits into the overall online learning strategy of the district or region?
The grant would provide two specific opportunities that fit into our district-wide strategy for online learning. First, we would be able to move from outside sources of instruction to supporting virtual coursework created and supported by our own faculty members. Second, we would be able to provide expanded opportunities beyond the traditional schedule so students could use time during study halls, part of supervised instructional time, or as homework to ensure on-time graduation.
These locally developed courses will also allow students to interact with each other and a content-area teacher through discussion boards, blogs, and other media; interactive opportunities currently lacking in our use of PLATO Learning.
1.Describe the student population you intend to serve with the use of this grant and why they would benefit from an online-based approach. Include participating schools, number of students, history of academic performance (e.g., course failure, grade retention, dropout, and graduation rates), etc.
The students participating in these courses are those who are in danger of failing a course and would benefit from on-time credit recovery, those who are enrolled in alternative educational program and require an additional setting outside of the traditional classroom in order to be fully successful in that coursework, and those students who are on an Educational Proficiency Plan or who score below proficiency on Accuplacer and take Introduction to College Algebra either by choice or because their schedule would not easily permit this course to be taken during the school day. These students would be primarily ninth grade students for English 9, ninth and tenth grade students for Biology I, and twelfth grade students for Introduction to College Algebra.
2.What will the process be for student enrollment in the online courses or modules? Describe how students will be selected to participate (e.g., faculty recommendations and/or student elected participants).
Students will enroll in the on-time credit recovery courses as a consequence of having failed a quarter of their current English 9 or Biology 1 course instead of doing so during summer school. If the section of this course exceeds 30, then those students who scored lowest during the quarter will be first enrolled until capacity is reached. Students enrolling in the year-long English 9 or Biology 1 course will be those who have been identified through their alternative education programming assessments that they would be best served through taking these courses via these alternative means while receiving additional support. Priority for students enrolling in Introduction to College Algebra online will be those who are required to take this course as part of their Educational Proficiency Plan and who are enrolled in another special program.
3.In what ways will students be involved in designing, implementing, and/or evaluating the courses or modules?
At least twice per year, students will be given surveys, including an open response section, asking them to rate the course based on accessibility, design, usability, and overall impressions. Upon completion they will be given the chance to share their experience through a focus group or ungraded journal.
1.Describe your particular innovation area that will add value or new learning opportunities to the current online learning project in terms of course content, subject areas, methodology, instructional pedagogy, or delivery approach. Note: see the Additional Information (Round 1 Grantee Summary) section of the RFP for highlights of the current online learning project.
We propose two innovations. We will take courses and course materials developed through Round 1, adapt them to our current curriculum, and add to these in the sense of including student-specific interventions. We will document ways to ramp up instruction through remediation and reteaching, thus closing the gap while the students continue learning new knowledge and skill as their original course continues. We will also add to the current project by supporting the development and implementation of a course that is not listed, Introduction to College Algebra. This course will be implemented within the school day at select districts in Western Massachusetts. Creating this course virtually could benefit students in other situations facing similar scheduling struggles.
2.Will this grant project support the development of a course and/or module? Describe the rationale behind what you are planning to offer.
For the Biology 1 and English 9 courses, we expect to develop additional modules both to localize them to our curriculum and provide support to the specific populations being addressed. The Introduction to College Algebra is a new course. We want to offer Biology 1 and English 9 courses to decrease our Grade 9 retention rate and increase proficiency levels in biology and mathematics. These successes should also increase our on-time graduation rate and decrease our dropout rate. The Introduction to College Algebra course will increase student mathematics proficiency to ensure college preparedness without need for remediation after graduation.
3.What subject or content area(s) will the online courses/modules cover?
The English 9 and Biology 1 modules will be specific to re-teaching and remediating. There will also be modules applying thematic discussion boards as well as on online learning itself. The Introduction to College Algebra course is a standards-based course aimed at preparing 12th grade students for success in college algebra. The standards are taking from the Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks and have been vetted by secondary and postsecondary teachers and administrators.
4.Will the online courses/modules be fully online, hybrid/blended (combination of in-person and online), or other? Describe how the offering will be delivered and supported.
All courses will be online. Teachers will be given time during Summer 2010 to prepare these courses in teams of content teachers, special education teachers, and alternative education teachers. Teachers will "teach" these courses during a period of their contractual work day. During this time, they can participate in discussion boards, respond to inquiries and provide feedback to students, and manage administrative duties of the course. Teachers will receive stipends to further develop these courses. Grading is expected to occur outside of the assigned period during the school day, just like any other course delivered in person.
A .25FTE IT Technician will work with teachers to ensure that their course content is appropriately created and uploaded. The technician will also provide professional development on electronic lesson development, managing the technical aspects of the online learning environment, providing data to teachers beyond content-specific assessments, and other technical aspects. This position will be paid for through the grant. Additionally, an IT Professional Development Coordinator will work with the teachers on instructional design as well as ideas to enhance assessment methodologies through a variety of technology (specifically student-created multimedia projects and blogs). Finally, each teacher and members of the IT staff will participate in either the Hampshire Educational Collaborative (HEC) online learning course or the PBS Teacherline online learning course.
5.How will this online course/module translate to credit (i.e., how much credit will a student that successfully completes the course/module be awarded)?
If the on-time credit recovery student successfully demonstrates mastery in the content area that was taught during the quarter he/she failed, then the student will regain full credit for that quarter. The students enrolled in the Tier 3 courses as well as those enrolled in Introduction to College Algebra will receive the same credit as those courses that were taught in the traditional setting. That is, there will be no differentiation between English 9, Biology 1, or Introduction to College Algebra based on support tier or delivery method.
6.When will this online course/module be delivered to students (what part of the year, time of day, etc.)? Describe how the offering will be available to non-traditional students who require scheduling flexibility.
Students enrolled in Tier 3 alternative educational services will participate in these courses during structured and supervised times which will allow for additional 1:1 support from a teacher. The on-time remediation courses will be taken either during study hall, after-school in one of the district's computer labs, or through computers available either at home or the local library. Introduction to College Algebra will be accessible to students in our computer labs either during study halls, after-school in one of the district's computer labs, through pull-out time from vocational programs as agreed upon by both vocational and support teachers, and through computers available either at home or the local library.
7.In addition to creating one or more courses/modules, are you willing to conduct a pilot implementation of a course/module created by a Round 1 grantee? Priority will be given to grant applicants that are willing to pilot a Round 1 grantee course in addition to the creation of additional courses.
a.If so, describe your preference for the content areas or types of courses/modules you are interested in implementing?
b.If so, describe when you would likely implement this course/module in the 2010-11 school year (e.g., fall, spring, summer).
As explained, we will be piloting (with some modifications) English 9 and Biology 1 courses as previously designed by Round 1 grantees during the 2010-2011 school year. These previously developed courses, with modifications, will be delivered as a whole year-long course to the Tier 3 students and lessons/modules will be used to support the on-time remediation course.
1.Describe all of the staff who will be involved in the development and/or implementation for this project and their roles and responsibilities. This may include existing as well as new staff. Include in the description which people will be part of the "core team" of key staff (suggested 3-6 staff) who will be expected to attend the required Department grantee meetings and trainings.
This grant will support five .2FTE (one period each) content area teachers to be the lead teachers in these courses. These teachers will teach English 9 on-time credit recovery, English 9 full-year for Tier 3, Biology 1 on-time credit recovery, Biology 1 on-time credit recovery, and Introduction to College Algebra.
To support the teachers, this grant will provide the salary for .25FTE technician to provide individualized and group professional development as well as support content creation and the technical aspects of course management and delivery. We will also rely on our Technology Professional Development Coordinator, who will be funded from other sources, to provide guidance and support relating to course and assessment design as well as teaching and learning through technology.
Core Team:
The core team will be made up of the Technology PD Coordinator, both high school principals, an administrator overseeing alternative education pathways, the Assistant Superintendent for CVTE and the Deputy Superintendent. Teachers will be able to attend meetings and trainings as space and travel funds provide; however, at least one teacher will be present at each meeting or training. The core team plus teachers will meet as a group at least quarterly.
2.Describe how you will involve and foster buy-in from a variety of staff in the project.
The core team has already met to discuss and prepare this proposal, so we already have developed administrative buy-in. The principals will work with their building staff, especially department heads, to garner teacher buy-in. By having representation from both content and support teachers, as well as dedicated district resources, we believe that buy-in will be relatively successful since we have already involved a variety of stakeholders in the planning process.
3.What roles do you envision for "virtual instructor(s)" of the online courses/modules?
a.What are the qualifications of the instructor(s) that will be primarily responsible for the content delivery?
The teachers will be licensed teachers in their content area. If not licensed teachers demonstrate an interest in teaching these subjects, then we will look to any teachers who are on a waiver who are also teaching other courses within the school or those who are licensed in other content areas but who demonstrate strong content and technical knowledge and skill.
b.How will these staff be selected?
Through a competitive process considering seniority, content expertise, appropriate license, and demonstrated technical skill.
c.How will these "virtual instructor(s)" work with staff present in the classroom/school?
These instructors will be drawn from the faculty and will interact with other teachers and staff in the same manner as they would for their proximate courses. They would have extra time after-school to meet with others and would be able to use occasional dedicated course-time as well as supervisory period time to work with other teachers and staff.
4.What role(s) do you envision for the non-instructional staff present in the classroom or the school environment to support students with the online courses/modules (e.g., support, guidance, keeping students on task, content-level knowledge)?
The technician partially-funded by this grant will make himself available to students during the school day and after-school to ensure accessibility and answer technical questions. Guidance counselors will work closely with their students to suggest how these virtual offerings will keep them on track to graduating on-time. Paraprofessionals (either through an IEP, behavior plan, or other agreement) will work with students enrolled in these virtual classes similarly to the way they support proximate courses.
a.What qualifications will they possess?
The Technician and Technology PD coordinator will be experienced in the use of technology to support instruction and the variety of data that can be used to support instruction (e.g. the Data Warehouse). The Assistant Superintendent for CVTE holds a masters degree in educational technology and has worked to support online learning and course design on the university level.
Paraprofessionals will have skills necessary to support a variety of students needs in a variety of settings.
b.How will these staff be selected?
The Assistant Superintendent for CVTE and Technology PD coordinator are already employed by the district. The .25FTE Technician will be selected based upon knowledge of student data and technical expertise. The paraprofessionals will be hired through the usual process involving school and special education staff input.
c.How will these staff work with the "virtual instructor(s)?
The technician and Technology PD coordinator will work with the virtual instructors to ensure that course content and interaction technically sound. They will also work with the virtual instructors to determine appropriate technology-enhanced instruction and assessment.
Paraprofessionals (and teachers as listed above) will work with individual students to ensure that any special educational or behavioral needs are met while the students complete course activities as well as help the virtual teachers create universally-designed lessons in the first place.
5.Briefly describe what role(s) and responsibilities the external organizations/people will have in the development and implementation of the online courses.
a.What will be the main roles/functions for the external organizations/people?
Through professional development on online teaching and learning through an outside source such as HEC or PBS Teacherline. We remain open to suggestions for further collaborations.
b.Have you already identified the external people, organizations, or services that would support the development and implementation of online courses?
i.If yes, who are they and through what process did you choose them?
ii.If no, what are your plans for the process to identify external services to support the online course development and implementation?
6.Describe your professional development plans, including the types of opportunities you plan to offer and the audience(s) for the professional development. Include in your professional development plans opportunities targeted for: 1) program classroom staff, 2) "virtual instructor(s)", and 3) other staff in the school/district(s).
Note: In addition to the professional development plans provided within your district, grant teams are required to attend in-person grantee meetings throughout the grant period (up to four, half-day meetings). Grantees are also required to participate in approximately two to three full-day trainings. Please feel free to include costs associated with attending these required meetings in the project budget.
Professional development plans include the opportunity for all support staff and virtual instructors to participate in a course on online teaching and course management (either through HEC or PBS Teacherline). Teachers will also receive embedded professional development and support from the Technician and Technology PD coordinator while they create their courses. After-school sessions will be held as needed to support the continued growth and development in technical skills and pedagogical practices to support online teaching and learning. At the end of the year, the teachers and core team will present on their activities as a form of professional development for the rest of the high school staff.
1.Describe the technology resources that you will use to successfully support the delivery of the online courses. Itemize the hardware, software, and networking you will procure using grant funds. Please include free services such as Open Source Course Management Systems (e.g., Moodle) in your description.
The district currently uses Moodle for some online courses and services. We propose the purchase of a dedicated Moodle server. We would also like to purchase USB microphones, digital cameras, digital microscopes, and a digital presenter (to be used to photograph/video models and examples for Biology that are properly lit and presented). We would also like to purchase one digital workstation per high school for teachers to create course content that would include the iLife suite (Garage Band and iMovie for editing podcasts, mini-lectures, and video presentations).
1.How will you ensure that the online courses are aligned to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks or the Massachusetts High School Program of Studies (MassCore) and that the online courses will provide high-quality, engaging curriculum aimed at meeting the needs of students who are most at-risk for not graduating on time?
Courses will be aligned to the current standards-based curricula and pacing guides. The Deputy Superintendent, Principal, and appropriate Department Heads will review the curriculum for this course and ensure that it meets the standards as required by the MA Curriculum Frameworks as well as matches the rigor of current high school course offerings. The Deputy Superintendent, Principal, and administrators involved in alternative education and special education will ensure that course content, delivery, and assessment match the needs of individual students.
2.Discuss how you will ensure that lessons learned as well as products created through this grant (e.g., overall implementation design, course materials, course syllabus, etc.) are saved and are in a format that may be shared with the Department and other districts.
At the end of the funding year, teachers will reflect on their own experience as well as on a series of student work (for example, an assessment that students received an A, C, and F on). We can support this through blogs as well as a survey. We will also provide a student assessment of their virtual learning experience. These will all be collected electronically and provided to our core team for evaluation and modification of our current practice, the assigned evaluator to the project, and the DESE.
1.Provide a complete timeline. Please keep in mind that this is a "fast track" opportunity to join a group of projects (Round 1 grant recipients) exploring innovative approaches to using online learning with struggling youth. The description should address, at a minimum, the timeline for:
a.Course development
b.The purchase of new technology and other materials
c.Selection of any new/existing staff for program implementation – including "virtual instructor(s)" as well as staff that will be present in the classroom
d.Professional development for staff
e.Student recruitment and orientation
f.The implementation of the online courses/modules
