Can someone translate this for me? I'm dumm. You somehow got the A Distinguished Asshole's custom boot trees from his $35k listing, but not the boots - someone else has those, you put them in your $300 RM Williams, and are showing a pic next to your $210 Red Wings? What?
You got it exactly right.
You are not dumb. You are smart.
He listed the trees much later separately, and I got them to be a small part of history...and they happened to be my size.
I promise that I didn't pay $34K for them, though.

The Coconut Secret Story...
When both our parents suddenly became diabetic, my brother and I were deeply inspired to search the world for pure, raw, truly delicious, low glycemic products. We were rewarded and blessed beyond our expectations, in our discovery of the traditional products made from the sap of the wondrous coconut tree. You are now holding in your hands, the fruits of our long journey. It is our joy to be able to share with you the gifts of these exceptional ingredients.
Leslie and Randy
Health Secrets of Coconut Aminos
When the coconut tree is tapped it produces a highly nutrient-rich "sap" that exudes from the coconut blossoms. This sap is raw, very low glycemic, an abundant source of 17 amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and has a nearly neutral pH. A comparison between coconut tree sap and soy, shows that coconut sap contains 2-14 times the amino acid content of soy.
Small batches ensure that our organic, low glycemic Coconut Aminos, made from this natural sap, is a raw enzymatically alive product aged and blended with sun dried, mineral-rich sea salt, hand gathered from pristine water near the southern islands of the Philippine coast.
Suggested Use
Recipe Tips
Soy-Free Seasoning alternative for use like soy sauce is salad dressings, marinades, sautés, and with sushi! This delicious product does not have a coconutty flavor.
Other Ingredients
Organic coconut sap aged and blended with sun-dried, mineral-rich sea salt.
Note: Due to the naturally occurring fermentation of this product, the contents may fizz when opened. Refrigerate after opening to reduce fizzy effect.

Weight loss and aging can create loose skin in the inner thigh. Exercise, while good for health, will not eliminate excess skin. A medial thigh lift removes excess skin and lifts the remaining skin to create smooth inner leg contours and a more attractive upper leg. Liposuction may also be helpful to reduce the volume of fat in the inner thigh. Potential candidates should discuss with the surgeon the benefits of each of procedure and the risks associated with doing them both at the same time.
What to Expect
An incision is made in the groin crease extending back toward the crease in the buttocks. The incision can also be made vertically from the perineum to the knees if there has been dramatic weight loss. A wedge of excess skin is removed and the incision and scar is hidden in the groin. Drains may be placed during surgery. Because of friction with walking and other activities and moisture in this area, healing in the inner thigh can take extra time. It is not uncommon for stitches to separate and have to be redone.
Risks associated with inner thigh lift include, but are not limited to:
- Tingling in the inner thigh (usually temporary)
- Complications with healing
- Stitches separate
- Prolonged healing
- Infection
- Blood clots, though uncommon, are more likely to occur in individuals who have diabetes or who smoke.
- Skin may sag if weight is lost afterwards.

(KSNV) While millions of Americans will watch the president's State of the Union Address at home, one young man from Nevada will listen to the speech from the first lady's box in the same room as President Obama.
White House officials invited Alan Aleman, who has become the poster child for immigration reform in the Silver State, to the address after gaining the president's attention.
Alan arrived in the nation's capital Monday. He's never been to D.C. before and says this invitation comes with a big responsibility to represent southern Nevada.
Alan's sister, Yadira, 18, and her parents were beaming while talking about her older brother.
"You feel that excitement, you feel proud of him because of all the things he's been doing amazing," Yadira said. "My brother is doing the great things for the community."

American Foxhound Physical Characteristics
The American Foxhound is large breed of domestic Dog, growing to an average height of 63cm tall. They are long and lean animals, with straight, long legs and a narrow tail which curves slightly upwards. The American Foxhound has a short coat of coarse fur which is most commonly white, brown, tan, or black in colour, and is known to shed fairly regularly. The American Foxhound's long head is dome-shaped with large, wide-set eyes that are generally hazel or brown in colour. Their wide pendant-shaped ears lie flat on either side of their head, framing the American Foxhound's face. Despite being leaner than the English Foxhound, the American Foxhound's body is incredibly muscular, allowing it to pursue a chase with great stamina, speed and agility.
American Foxhound Behaviour and Temperament
The American Foxhound has a generally loyal, sweet, affectionate and gentle nature when at home, but like other Hounds, they are incredibly dedicated and brave when hunting. They are however known to be relatively stubborn when they come across a scent trail and can run incredibly fast when giving chase. As a household pet, the American Foxhound needs a great deal of exercise due to it's incredibly active nature and is known to get on well with other domestic Dog breeds, mainly due to it's history as a pack-animal. The American Foxhound does however need a constant pack-leader to avoid any behavioural issues that may occur. Even though the American Foxhound is an incredibly responsive animal, they are not known to be particularly wary of strangers and rarely show any aggressive tendencies.
American Foxhound Breeding
The American Foxhound was first bred in the 1700s by George Washington, by using what is believed to be a combination of the English Foxhound and the French Foxhound, which each had their own desirable traits. Hounds were primarily used by hunters and farmers to seek out animals and all have a very strong sense of smell. Washington however, required a breed that had an even keener sense of the smell than the current breeds, and also had incredible speed and stamina. Since then, the American Foxhound is still found throughout the United States but is thought to be most popular with hunters and farmers. Although they do make good companions, they are not particularly common household pets probably because of their high energy levels and the fact that their incredibly sensitive nose can lead them to become very stubborn.
American Foxhound Interesting Facts and Features
The American Foxhound was bred by the President after having received a gift of a French Foxhound. Having written about both the French and English Foxhounds in his journals on many occasions, the leaner, lighter and faster American Foxhound appeared soon afterwards and quickly became a popular choice among Hounds. Despite however, being one of the few domestic breeds native to North America, the American Foxhound is actually quite rare today with adoption levels of these Dogs being very low. The American Foxhound though is loved by owners, particularly for their special bark which consists of a loud, deep bark followed by a high-pitched howl. The bark of the American Foxhound is apparently so harmonious that is has appeared in songs.

The Westing Game is Raskin's closest approach to a classic mystery story. Sixteen interesting and bizarre characters, who live in a...
(The entire section is 323 words.)
On the Fourth of July, a sixty-two-year-old delivery boy distributes six letters to a group of hand-picked "tenants-to-be" at Sunset Towers, an empty, five-story, "glittery" apartment house on the shore of Lake Michigan. The letters are signed by Barney Northrup; in reality, there is no such person by that name.
The Wexlers are the first to respond to their invitation. Grace Wexler is enchanted by the floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room and the lush carpeting throughout. She looks forward to showing off the new apartment to her "so-called friends...with their classy houses." Her unimpressed husband, Jake, says the third bedroom is the size of a closet, but Grace thinks it will do "just fine" for their younger daughter, Turtle.
The slick, buck-toothed salesman who masquerades as Barney Northrup manages to rent all the apartments in just one day. In addition to the Wexlers, the tenants include the Theodorakis and Hoo families, Flora Baumbach, Sydelle Pulaski, and Judge J. J. Ford. Dr. Wexler will have his office on the first floor, alongside a coffee shop run by the Theodorakises. Mr. James Shin Hoo will open a restaurant on the fifth floor.
In early September, the residents of Sunset Towers move in. A few weeks later, on Halloween, Otis Amber, the sixty-two-year-old delivery boy, meets a group that includes two high school seniors, Theo Theodorakis, Doug Hoo, and the apartment doorman, Sandy McSouthers. He points out that smoke is coming from the chimney of the nearby, supposedly unoccupied Westing mansion. Sam Westing, who owns the mansion, the apartment building, and the town's paper mill, has not been seen for years, and rumor has it that his dead body is rotting away in the old house. Sandy feels bitter about having been fired from his job at the mill and says this "serves [Westing] right." As the group standing on the driveway discusses the situation, junior-high student Turtle Wexler comes riding up on her bike. Turtle is known...

Under a full Halloween moon, Turtle, dressed in her witch costume, tentatively explores the blackness within the Westing mansion. According to Doug Hoo's stopwatch, she lasts for eleven minutes before she exits the house, screaming. Summoned by a "throbbing whisper, 'pur-ple...pur-ple,'" Turtle found the corpse of Samuel Westing lying in a four-poster bed on the second floor.
The next morning, Turtle sees a picture of the dead man on the front page of the newspaper under the headline "Sam Westing Found Dead." Westing's estate is estimated to be worth "over two hundred million dollars." He is described as a "dedicated gamesman" who often played the part of Uncle Sam at the annual pageants he staged on the Fourth of July and who had a keen interest in fireworks, which he stored in his mansion and set off every year on his front lawn. The article goes on to describe the tragedies that marred Westing's life. He was divorced from his wife, and his only daughter, Violet, drowned on the eve of her wedding. As a businessman, Westing was sued by a fellow inventor "over rights to the disposable paper diaper." Sam Westing had not been seen in recent times. After being severely injured and reportedly disfigured in an automobile accident several years previously with his friend, Doctor Sidney Sikes, Sam Westing had "disappeared from sight." It was rumored that he continued to control the vast Westing Corporation from a small island in the South Seas. Julian Eastman, the Chief Executive Officer of the company, expressed surprise and sadness upon learning of his death.
There is no mention of how or by whom the body was found. Only four people know Turtle had been in the house—Doug Hoo, Theo Theodorakis, Otis Amber, and Sandy McSouthers. The next day, Otis Amber delivers letters to sixteen residents of Sunset Towers, telling them they have been named beneficiaries of Sam Westing's estate and summoning them to a...

Attorney E. J. Plum has never actually met Samuel Westing, but he testifies as to the legality of the will, which has been signed by the deceased and two witnesses—Julian R. Eastman, President of the Westing Corporation, and Doctor Sidney Sikes, the county coroner. In the document, Westing names the sixteen heirs present as his "nieces and nephews" and says that tomorrow his ashes "will be scattered to the four winds." He then asserts that his life has been taken by one of his heirs, and he promises that the heir who finds something will receive the inheritance. What the players are supposed to find is never stated because, to lighten the mood at that point, Sandy shouts out facetiously, "Ashes!" Attorney Plum does not go back to clarify what, exactly, the winner will need to find.
The next point, which has a patriotic flavor, reads:
Hail to thee, O land of opportunity! You have made me, the son of poor immigrants, rich, powerful, and respected....Take stock in America...and sing in praise of this generous land. You, too, may strike it rich who dares to play the Westing game.
The heirs are then asked to say a silent prayer for "good old Uncle Sam" and are directed into the adjoining game room.
Upon entering the game room, Theo Theodorakis's attention is drawn to a finely carved chess set laid out on a table. Noticing that someone has moved a white pawn, he idly makes a defensive move with a black knight. E. J. Plum then calls everyone to attention, and he begins to read the next section of Samuel Westing's will.
The rules of the Westing game are simple. The sixteen players will be divided into eight teams; each pair will receive ten thousand dollars and a set of clues. Absent pairs will forfeit their money, and if one member of a team drops out, his or her partner must leave as well. The object of the game is "to win."
Jake Wexler and Mrs. Hoo are immediately disqualified as...

A blizzard strikes that night, leaving the residents of Sunset Towers "snowbound—with a murderer." The electricity is out, and Turtle takes advantage of the situation by selling homemade, gaily striped candles left over from summer camp; the candles tell time: each stripe burns for half an hour. Sydelle Pulaski receives numerous invitations to coffee and afternoon tea from players hoping she will share her shorthand copy of the will with them. None of them get what they are seeking.
Sydelle takes Angela over to visit Chris Theodorakis, who is looking in a book at a picture of various grains and is delighted with the company. The boy sees that Sydelle limps, but he recognizes her disability as a pretend limp; she...

Jake and Grace Wexler are the first to arrive at J. J. Ford's party. The judge asks Mrs. Wexler how she is related to the Westing family and decides that the woman is nothing more than a "prattling pretender" when her answer is confused and evasive. Other guests come in, and Jake goes over to talk to his daughter, Angela. The young girl cringes when he immediately asks about Denton Deere; it seems that, in the eyes of others, she has no identity apart from her fiancé.
The only people at the party who are not Westing heirs are George and Catherine Theodorakis, the parents of Theo and Chris. Theo in particular bears a startling resemblance to his father; they are both wide shouldered and slim waisted and they have...

While repairs are being made at the coffee shop, the snowbound residents of Sunset Towers eat their dinners at Shin Hoo's Restaurant. Unbeknownst to them, the bomber has planted a second bomb in the kitchen of the fifth-floor establishment and set it to go off at six-thirty. Grace Wexler has signed on as the seating hostess to help out her partner, whom she addresses with inappropriate familiarity as Jimmy. Pleased with her new position of power, she decides to have fun pairing off the diners in unexpected ways, which results in a number of interesting interactions.
Theo Theodorakis finds himself seated at a table with the beautiful Angela Wexler; the two manage to overcome their initial shyness and end up sharing...
(The entire section is 851 words.)
By Friday of that week, the snow begins to melt at last. Sandy, Doug, Theo, Turtle, and Otis Amber stand in the driveway again, discussing the Westing game. Otis believes there is no murderer, but Theo is not so sure. At the Wexler apartment, Grace is never home, so Jake goes to visit her at Shin Hoo's Restaurant. After ignoring her husband at first, Grace finally comes over only to discuss an idea she has; she thinks the restaurant needs a more interesting name. She suggests Hoo's on First. James Hoo thinks the name is "idiotic," and Jake privately agrees with him, but to placate his wife he says it is "a dandy name."

Flora Baumbach, now affectionately called Baba, fixes Turtle's braid every day and gives her the love and attention she craves. Flora calls Turtle by her chosen name, Alice, and talks about her own daughter, Rosalie, whose untimely passing has clearly left an aching void in her life.
Sandy McSouthers and Josie-Jo Ford continue to compile information about each of the heirs in a notebook. They know that Flora Baumbach had a mentally challenged daughter who died tragically. She had also made a wedding gown for Violet Westing, although the bride-to-be never got to wear it. Sandy and J. J. have little information connecting Otis Amber and Denton Deere to Sam Westing other than that Otis is the delivery boy for Westing's...

Sandy McSouthers and J. J. Ford have only themselves left to investigate, and they do so cursorily. Sandy has a large family, but Sam Westing fired him from his job at the mill with no pension. Josie-Jo Ford's parents were servants at the Westing mansion, and J. J. was not allowed to associate with the Westings's daughter, Violet. Instead, Sam Westing sent her away to all the best schools. J. J remembers playing chess with Westing; he always won, and he used the unusual strategy of sacrificing his queen to distract his opponent from his true intent.
Theo has figured out that Angela is the bomber, and Turtle is concerned. To save Angela from being identified and punished, Turtle writes a note implicating herself and...

Flora Baumbach and Turtle, sporting a new haircut, wait for the other players to arrive in the game room of the Westing mansion. Flora shows Turtle a picture of her daughter, Rosalie. Turtle is surprised to discover that the child Baba always speaks about so lovingly was severely afflicted with Downs' Syndrome. Amazed at the depth of feeling Flora clearly has for her daughter, Turtle observes genuinely, "I think I would have liked her, Baba."
Many of the players comment on Turtle's hair as they enter, but Theo goes straight to the chessboard. He sees that someone has moved a piece since they were here last, and he makes a countermove. Grace Wexler is uncharacteristically mellow—and very tipsy; she has spent...
(The entire section is 861 words.)
Crow has been arrested. In the wake of the extraordinary events that have occurred, the remaining players sit in stunned disbelief. Turtle laments Sandy's death, and Denton Deere, who had noticed a mean bruise on the stricken man's shin, remarks that she should not have kicked him. Turtle denies having done so, insisting that the only person she has kicked recently was Barney Northrup. Doug Hoo observes that Sandy McSouthers was the mysterious individual playing chess with Theo, who in turn notes that the former doorman's last move had been a foolish one and resulted in the loss of his queen.
As Judge Ford remembers that the "queen's sacrifice" was a deception Sam Westing liked to use to defeat her when she...
(The entire section is 846 words.)
Crow is released from custody. In the final page of the will, Sam Westing admits to having been "otherwise known as Sandy McSouthers and others." He leaves the title to Sunset Towers to all of his heirs to share among themselves, and he leaves three ten-thousand-dollar checks in game money to his former wife, Berthe Erica Crow. No mention is made of the promised two hundred million dollars. When some of the players grumble about this, J. J. Ford succintly explains, "We lost the game." Outside, a fantastic "fireworks extravaganza" begins, and when it is over, the infamous Westing house burns to the ground.
In the morning, Turtle sets out secretly to collect her prize. She goes to meet the "newly-elected...

You and Your Roommate (Suitemates)
Being a roommate and having a roommate, or living in an apartment/suite with others can be both rewarding and challenging. Learning how to communicate, compromise, share and build interdependence will enhance your relationship with your roommate or others in your apartment.
Community Member Bill of Rights
Your enjoyment of life on campus will depend to a large extent on the thoughtful consideration that you and your roommate or those with whom you live, show for each other. Here are some of the basic rights that each of you should enjoy:
Communicate and Set Ground Rules to Avoid Conflict
The following topics can sometimes be an issue between roommates and apartment/suite-mates. Help avoid conflict before it starts by spending some time with your roommate(s) and apartment/suite-mates at the beginning of the semester to discuss these items. Consider doing this in conjunction with the Roommate Agreement.
Remember, when differences occur the only way to work them out is by letting the other person know there are some things that need to be worked out. Keep in mind it's NOT effective to let everyone on your floor know about your roommate problems, to purposefully annoy your roommate to get his/her attention, or assume that your roommate will know what your problem is by your non-verbals (i.e. stomping, huffing and puffing). The BEST way to work out differences with your roommate is by sitting down with your roommate(s) or apartment/suite-mate(s) and talking about the issues.
If you need help with a roommate/apartment/suite-mate problem, contact an RA or the Resident Director or Graduate Hall Director. They will help to facilitate communication and attempt to bring about a resolution. Where appropriate, a mediation service is available to students who seek further assistance in resolving conflict.

- Australian Planner December 2007: Housing, place or social networks: what's more important for relocating tenants?
- Author(s)
- Baker, Emma; Arthurson, Kathy
- Abstract
- Urban regeneration is increasingly used by Australian governments as a means of physically upgrading ageing public dwelling stock, but little is known about the social implications of regeneration projects. For public tenants involuntarily relocated for urban regeneration, relocation risks added stress and disruption for an already disadvantaged population. However, it also has the potential to improve residential satisfaction. Moving may provide an opportunity to improve the quality of housing in terms of room size, space and other physical characteristics, the opportunity to live in a better or safer neighbourhood, access to better services and a broadening of social networks. This paper reports on the findings of a research project investigating the comparative influences - quality of housing, residential environment, and social networks - on residential satisfaction after relocation. Tenants were interviewed before and after relocation from Ferryden Park in South Australia as part of The Parks Urban Regeneration Project, to date Australia's largest regeneration project. The study found that in determining the self perceived success of relocation, at least for this group of tenants, the quality of the post relocation housing was the most important factor. The implication for planners is that although familial and friendship networks are still important, the quality of post relocation housing is likely to have a greater influence on whether or not tenants are satisfied with moving as part of urban regeneration projects.

Catching Up…
First of, I would like to respond to a comment made by padres2050 a few days ago on my entry Baseball Q and A. The first question was, why do I think that we are improved enough to make the postseason this year? I think that we'll make the postseason this year because of what we saw in the second half of the season last year. If we had played like that all year, we would have either been in the postseason or very, very close. Now, things are going to be a little different than they were last year, with the addition of the Hairston brothers and the subtraction of Kevin Kouzmanoff, but I still think that we're going to be very good this year.
Plus, these are tough times for a San Diego sports fan. The Chargers have failed us for 50 years, and the Padres have failed us for 40. Thankfully, the Little League kids were finally able to do something big for San Diego, but I think we're all getting just a little frustrated with the Chargers and Padres. We need to have some kind of hope and something's gotta give here. Really soon.
Buddy Black is a great manager, and I personally think that he is one of the very best. I believe that it's not his fault that we did so terribly the past two season, but that the stupid front office didn't give him the pieces that he needed to make this team good. I know that in some cases you can blame the state of the team on the manager, but I don't believe that that's applicable in this situation. I love Buddy because he doesn't yell at his players, he's got a great relationship with them, and he plays smart baseball. He knows when to get fired up if he has to, but most of the time he just stays quiet. I think that a good quality of a manager is to keep the attention and focus on his players, and not on his fiery temper.
Number 1, I am a Padres fan. My loyalties go to the Padres first before anything. But I also am a huge fan of the game of baseball. It's so amazing! Unfortunately, my family does not believe in watching TV of any sort, so the only way for me to follow sports is to listen to the games or check things out on the internet. Believe me, if I was able to, I would have to MLB Network and be watching it 24/7!!
I read many, many blogs here as much as possible. The blogosphere has been growing so much that it's getting hard to read all of them! In terms of Padres blogs, Perpetual Padres Saga, Gaslamp Ball, RJ's Fro, and The Friar Faithful are essential daily reading.
I can't thank you guys enough for all your support!!!
So Kouz settled his contract with the A's yesterday. He's getting $3.1 million for the year!
Last year with the Padres, he made $432,000.
Jeff Moorad said that trading him had nothing to do with money, but I don't believe it. There is absolutely no way the Padres would have given him that much money this year. Oh well.
I guess I should talk a little about the Hairston Brothers! We got Scotty Hairston back when we traded Kouz, which was kind of weird for me. I absolutely love Scotty. He was one of the best players in '07 and '08. I'll never forget his walk-off homers after we got him in the middle of 2007 from the Diamondbacks. That was definitely a mistake on Arizona's part. Because of him, we almost overtook them for the NL West!
Anyways, he is just a really amazing player. I always got so excited when he came up to bat late in a game with the score really close. I was pretty sad when we traded him to the A's last season.
Now, I'm glad that we have him back, but you know, I lost Kouz. It's just not as exciting as it would have been if the circumstances were different.
So then the next day we find out that we signed Jerry Hairston Jr.!! The Padres are kind of like the team of family reunions. We've had a lot of brother combinations on this team, most recently including Brian and Marcus Giles and Adrian and Edgar Gonzalez.
The GilesBros. only lasted a year. The GonzoBros. only lasted a year too. Let's see how long the HairBros. last.
It's going to be pretty cool to see them together, though. I'm really excited. I'm huge HairBros. fans, so it's going to be so sweet to see them on the same team. Those guys are adorable.
I can't believe the stupid Chargers!! It's so crazy how they had the 11 game winning streak and it's our year and all that and then they go a lose the very first playoff game. So stupid!!!!! Argh. I am just so frustrated about that. Not cool at all. San Diego needs some major help, that's for sure. Goodness.
Well, I think that's all I have for today. Miss you, Kouz😦

Kaybee: Sorry again about Kouz😦 And you know what? I think you are right: the Pads have a shot at the postseason. You've been watching them for forever, so I'd think you know when they look good. Haha so it's a date: My Yankees vs your Pads in the WS! See you there!🙂
Sorry bout Kouz. The padres would have had a better chance at a post season if they had kept him, because now, they have no great players except A-Gonz. Big salary raise for Kouz…
How interesting that the Padres have had three brother combos in the past few years alone! Wonder what the odds are of that happening? I can't think of any Phillies brother combos in recent memory.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
The Padres are always a good team. They definitely were hot at the end of the season. I am looking forward to seeing them play at Dodger Stadium. I'll try to get autographs again for you.
Hey Kaybee-
Sorry about Kouz. Hope you can rebound from that🙂. I can't wait for opening day!!!
Thanks for having my blog first on your daily Padres blog reads🙂 Oh Kouz. I'm gonna miss him so much. Hope you are doing well. Can't wait till what the Hairston bros can bring to us. Another brothers united which means double the win. New post.
Hey, Kaybee! I'm sorry that the Padres lost Kouz. I know that my Twins were trying to get a trade for him, but they offered Glen Perkins, and I wouldn't wish Glen Perkins on any team! Lol.
By the way, thanks for checking out my blog! I can't wait to read more from yours!🙂
One of the Haristons was on Baseball Tonight the other day, i dunno which one they both look so similiar! they are like the Barber brothers of the NFL. good guys!

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Democrats are shifting tactics again as they work to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker next month.
They've started playing up questions about whether Milwaukee prosecutors are secretly investigating the Republican governor for campaign or election violations. The probe already has led to charges against a handful of the governor's former aides.
The investigation has been ongoing for months, but it hasn't captivated voters. Democrats hope bringing more attention to it will win them undecided voters. They are expected to be critical when Walker faces Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in the June 5 election.
Walker has said he's not the target of the probe but he has established a criminal defense fund. He hasn't explained why, but allies have attacked the Democrats' questions as a political stunt.

By Dave Wagner: Freedom New Mexico
Mark Ribaudo knew there would be some kinks going from Eastern New Mexico University's traditional triple-option look to a spread offense.
The Greyhounds hope they've got some of the bugs worked out this week as they prepare to host Southwestern Oklahoma in a 6 p.m. Lone Star Conference crossover game at Greyhound Stadium.
Despite a lengthy weather delay last week, Ribaudo said the Hounds could've played better on offense in their season-opening 16-9 loss to Southern Nazarene at Bethany, Okla.
"It was more us than (the weather)," Ribaudo said. "We have a new offense, with new kids. It's like starting a program over."
Ribaudo said Cory Baker, a sophomore from Adkins Texas, will start at quarterback this week after redshirt sophomore Eric Wilcockson started at Southern Nazarene. Still, Ribaudo noted the position is there for the taking.
"Corey played well last week (9-for-16 for 54 yards), but we're waiting for someone to step up," he said. "We're going to go through some growing pains, but we're committed to (the spread). We've just got to put in the work and get better at it."
Defensively and on special teams, Ribaudo said the Hounds played reasonably well.
"(The defense) played well," he said. "We gave up some passes we shouldn't have, but experience is a big factor."
Southwestern is looking for a second consecutive road win after opening with a 29-15 victory at Northwestern Oklahoma.
Fourth-year coach Ryan Held said that his team played pretty well against Northwestern Oklahoma, there is room for improvement.
"There were some good things, but we saw some things we were disappointed in," Held said. "The level of competition and intensity will definitely go up this week."
Held said he recognizes the Hounds are in a transition period.
"Obviously, when you have philosophical changes, there are going to be some growing pains," he said. "It's going to be a war, I know that."
The Mustangs have made strides in the past two seasons under Held and last year were part of an unlikely five-way tie for the championship in the six-team LSC North.
Held pointed to a lack of success in crossover games. In his stint at Southwestern, the Mustangs have gone 2-10 against the South.
"We've got this thing going in the right direction," he said, "but we've still got to get things going against the South teams.
Southwestern Oklahoma at ENMU
When: 6 p.m. today in a Lone Star Conference crossover game at Blackwater Draw.
Records: Southwestern Oklahoma 1-0, ENMU 0-1.
Radio: KSEL-FM 95.3.
On the Net: www.enmusports.com
Coaches: Southwestern Oklahoma, Ryan Held, 4th year; Eastern New Mexico, Mark Ribaudo, 4th year.
Last meeting: ENMU routed the Bulldogs 28-0 in 2005 at Weatherford, Okla.
Southwestern Oklahoma players to watch: Joe Sawyer, 6-4, 270, Jr., TE; Steve Day, 6-2, 210, Jr., QB; Jake Olivarez, 6-5, 290, So., OT; Cory Summers, 6-3, 300, Jr., DE; Ruzell McCoy, 5-10, 210, Sr., MLB; Greg Franklin, 6-0, 240, Sr, DE.
Notes: Southwestern leads the all-time series 21-14-2, but the Greyhounds have posted shutouts in the last two meetings. They beat the Bulldogs 39-0 in 2004 in their previous matchup at Blackwater Draw. … Prior to coming to Southwestern, Held had relative success in three seasons as Oklahoma Panhandle State's coach. He went 14-19 from 2002-04 after inheriting a program in the midst of a 28-game losing streak and with just 17 players on the roster. … Held played collegiately under Tom Osborne at the University of Nebraska (1993-96). … After going 1-10 in his first year at the school, Held has led the Bulldogs to consecutive 6-5 marks. … Southwestern finished in a five-way tie for the LSC North championship last season (3-2), but was the only team in the division to post a winning overall record. … Day threw for 250 yards and three TDs in the Bulldogs' 29-15 win at Northwestern Oklahoma on Aug. 28.
Quote: "I think we've got some guys who can make some plays, which I think we've definitely been missing in the past." — Held, on his team's potential.

Goddard College faculty shoots down offer
PLAINFIELD Unionized faculty at Goddard College have overwhelmingly rejected a contract offer that was the product of a recent round of mediation. However, fears that the financially troubled schools administration might react by moving swiftly to declare an impasse and impose a contract appear to be unfounded.
Instead, acting President Avram Patt, chairman of the colleges board of trustees, sought over the weekend to quell concern about the administrations plans by reaching out to the faculty, which had been warned by union representatives to brace for a heavy-handed response.
Faculty members rejected the contract offer Friday in a 73-8 vote that featured more than 80 percent participation. The unions bargaining team had made no recommendation for or against it.
According to the unions news release announcing the decision, The result came despite signals that, in the event of a rejection, the administration might declare a bargaining impasse and unilaterally impose steep cuts to pay and benefits.
Contacted at home over the weekend, Patt said that simply wasnt the case.
I never said that, he said. It was never our intention to (declare an impasse).
According to Patt, it still isnt. I think the next step is to sit down with the union representatives and say: Where do we go from here? he said.
That was the thrust of an email Patt sent to all Goddard faculty Saturday morning and forwarded to The Times Argus at its request.
While we had hoped that a favorable vote would help ease financial pressures that Goddard is facing, we will continue negotiating with faculty union representatives to achieve a collective bargaining agreement, Patt wrote in the email.
I know some have feared that if the vote was no, the administration would declare impasse and impose contract conditions, he added. This was not our stated intent and it is not what we are in fact doing.
During a brief telephone interview, Patt said the two sides can either resume face-to-face negotiations, which began more than a year ago, or once again enlist the assistance of a federal mediator in hopes of reaching an agreement that would replace the contract that expired June 30.
Although Goddards fiscal stability remains a concern the college is facing a projected $1.5 million deficit over the next two years if financial changes arent made and economic and enrollment trends continue Patt said trustees are content to let the collective bargaining process play out.
There is no line in the sand time frame at this point, he said.
Contacted Sunday, Jan Clausen, head of the facultys bargaining team, welcomed Patts offer to resume negotiations.
Going back to the bargaining table is exactly where we want to go, she said, suggesting the unions emphatic rejection of the boards offer left little doubt about what members thought of the proposal.
The faculty has spoken, she said. The proposal that was before us is not going to fly.
According to undisputed published reports, the rejected four-month agreement would have implemented a 4 percent pay cut for faculty, which would have remained in force after its June 30 expiration and until a new contract was agreed to.
Among other things, the proposal also called for the suspension of the retirement match until June 30 and what was characterized as a significant diminishment in faculty severance benefits. The proposal would have provided a single payment of $15,000 to any fully salaried faculty member who was laid off and $7,500 to any other faculty member who was laid off.
Union representatives have said that is roughly 50 percent of the current benefit one they claim Goddards administration sought to eliminate at the start of negotiations.
From the unions perspective, Clausen said, a significant reduction to the severance benefit is a nonstarter at a college with many long-serving faculty members.
Severance is really a justice issue for us, she said, suggesting it represented something of a safety net for faculty members who have taught for years and, in many cases, decades at Goddard.
If they find themselves in the bad situation of not having that job anymore they need something to tide them over, she said.
While openly critical of the administrations latest contract offer, Clausen declined to discuss the specifics of the unions proposal, though she did speak in general terms about its bargaining position.
Our position has been that were willing to make short-term sacrifices that we understand, based on the financial information weve gotten, are needed to help the college move forward and get over this hump, she said. What were not willing to do is entertain a restructuring of severance, or other provisions that seem like they might be targeted at radically restructuring or even possibly abolishing the college as we know it.
Clausen said she looked forward to discussing the specifics of the proposal with the administration team when negotiations resume. No date has been set for that session.

Triathletes can run, bike and swim. But can anyone prepare for surprise obstacles, like a Hawaiian monk seal?
A four-month-old pup bit two swimmers off Kailua-Kona's King Kamehameha Hotel Tuesday.
Shortly after, wildlife officials captured the 100-pound male seal. It is now in a temporary holding area and being monitored around the clock.
A veterinarian says the seal was trying to engage the swimmers, not attack them.
"When the seal continued to follow them, they paused and it circled around them and at that point, was trying to essentially, it sounds like play with them and nipping behavior is something seals do with other seals," said Michelle Barbieri, a veterinarian with The Marine Mammal Center.
One man was bitten in the abdomen, the other on his knee. Both were small, superficial wounds. Witnesses said they were practicing for this weekend's Ironman World Championships.
"They are often at this point in their lives seeking out lots of interaction with other seals of similar age and unfortunately, there are very few animals, if any, around the areas where this animal seems to be hanging out," Barbieri said.
She said the pup was born May 27 near South Point and since then, has been seen lounging on beaches and piers along the Kona coast of the Big Island.
No word on when or where the seal will be released.

May 11, 2010--The 22nd annual Janice Borla Vocal Jazz Camp and "Hot Jazz-6 Cool Nites" concert series will be presented at North Central College July 17-23. Both events take place during the same week and are jointly sponsored by the College's Jazz Studies Program.
Janice Borla Vocal Jazz Camp
Founded in 1989, the Janice Borla Vocal Jazz Camp offers a unique educational experience for aspiring jazz vocalists in an intensified, one-week course of study and skills development conducted by an outstanding artist faculty of professional performing and recording artists. Cited by Jazziz Magazine as "among the most innovative and dynamic summer jazz educational programs in the country," the camp has been featured on the PBS national news program "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer," HDNET-TV, WGN-TV and WTTW Channel 11 Chicago.
The camp's international reputation draws students from Canada, Europe, Asia and across the United States, who range in age and background from high school to adult professional vocalists and jazz educators. The curriculum is designed specifically for the solo jazz vocalist. Daily activities include workshops in jazz improvisation, performance styles and techniques and solo performance preparation, as well as artist master classes, vocal jazz history and music theory. There are also nightly faculty artist concerts, informal student jam sessions, and a final concert featuring each participant performing with the Staff Rhythm Section.
This year's camp runs July 18-23 and is open to ages 14 and up. Tuition is $625/person; housing and meals are available for an additional $250. The deadline for enrollment is June 1. Further information is available online at www.janiceborlavocaljazzcamp.org.
This year's featured vocal faculty are returning artists Janice Borla, Jay Clayton and Madeline Eastman. All three are internationally acclaimed jazz vocalists with extensive resumes as performing artists and jazz educators.
Borla is the camp founder and director. Her recordings and performances have consistently earned high praise for her beautiful sound, adventurous repertoire and imaginative improvisations. Her latest CD "From Every Angle" was named one of the "Best CDs of the Year" by DownBeat Magazine. A recognized pioneer in vocal jazz education, Borla established the vocal jazz programs at Benedictine University and the Saskatchewan School of the Arts in Canada and is the vocal jazz director at North Central College.
Clayton is an internationally acclaimed vocalist, composer and educator whose work boldly spans the terrain between jazz and new music. She has recorded with Steve Reich, Muhal Richard Abrams, John Cage, Bobby McFerrin, Jane Ira Bloom and many others, and is co-founder of the acclaimed improvisatory vocal quintet Vocal Summit. Her most recent CD "The Peace of Wild Things" showcases her personal style, using her solo voice and innovative use of electronics. Clayton is a faculty member at the New School in New York City.
Eastman has been twice voted one of the top female vocalists in the DownBeat Readers Poll. Based in San Francisco, she has recorded with Cedar Walton, Tony Williams and Kenny Barron. Her newest CD "Can You Hear Me Now?" (Mad-Kat Records) has garnered her wide critical praise. She is artistic director of JazzCamp West and head of the vocal department of the Stanford Jazz Workshop.
In addition to the vocal faculty artists, the camp staff also features jazz trumpeter Art Davis, formerly with the Ray Charles Orchestra, and guitarist John McLean. The Dan Haerle Trio, comprised of pianist Dan Haerle, bassist Bob Bowman and drummer Jack Mouse, are also staff artists and clinicians.
"Hot Jazz-6 Cool Nites" concert series
A special highlight of the week's activities is the "Hot Jazz-6 Cool Nites" evening concert series, featuring the camp faculty artists. Open to the public, this year's concerts will be presented in Wentz Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville. The series opens Saturday, July 17, and continues Monday through Thursday, July 19-22, featuring a different combination of artists each evening. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20/adults, $15/students and senior citizens; contact the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit www.northcentralcollege.edu/show.

Late Sunday afternoon University of Hawaii officials said employee pay checks were not burned in a fire that destroyed a building on the University of Hawaii Manoa campus.
However, a UH spokesperson said other university services and payments could be delayed.
The fire broke out just after 8 a.m. in a wooden structure on Lower Campus Road, near the Stan Sheriff Center.
The office was home to the university's Fiscal Management and Procurement Office.
Campus security first saw a huge black cloud of smoke.
"I saw flames coming out from maybe like four windows, just gushing out, coming up to the roof. I mean, it was just crazy," said Reymundo Gomez, a campus security employee.
Flames and smoke poured out of the office that handles payroll records, student loans and other fiscal matters for the university's 10 campuses, including 60,000 students and 7,000 to 8,000 faculty members and staff.
"There is a substantial amount of records that are on paper and we suspect there might be items that are lost or damaged by water," said U.H. spokesman Gregg Takayama.
Takayama said some records are stored on computers off site, but the university's effort to transition to a completely computerized fiscal management system was not yet complete.
"That's still several months away. So there will be substantial loss in terms of records, we believe, at this point," Takayama said. And Takayama said the UH is uncertain how much information will be retrievable from office computers and papers, and if payroll will be affected.
"Until we have a chance to go in there and find out what records have been damaged and what records are still retrievable, we won't know for certain," Takayama said.
Firefighters brought the flames under control in less than 20 minutes, but dark smoke continued to billow from the 30-year-old wooden structure for hours.
"We have a lot of contents in this building. So we do have a lot of paperwork, equipment, electronics that we're trying to deal with," said Captain Robert Main, of the Honolulu Fire Department.
At 11 a.m., there hours after the fire broke out, the fire reignited. Main said firefighters were struggling with spaces between the roof and ceiling.
"There's a dropped ceiling in there right now that we're pulling out and there's a space between that and the roof space itself that we have to access," Main said.
A firewall separated the unit from adjoining offices and kept the fire contained to the Fiscal Management and Procurement office.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Main said a preliminary damage estimate is $600,000 to both the structure and its contents.
The American Red Cross is in the process of opening a shelter at Manoa Valley District Park in Honolulu for residents evacuated from their homes due to the fire.
The shelter is set up at Manoa Valley District Part at 2712 Kaaipu Avenue. The shelter was expected to open at 5:30 p.m.

Kuana Torres Kahele
Kuana Torres Kahele
Seeing a traditional Hawaiian musician at the SFJAZZ Center might seem surprising. Unless, of course, that musician is Kuana Torres Kahele, a rising star who has been winning accolades for his singing, songwriting, and genre-bending creativity. Born on the slopes of Mauna Kea, Kuana Torres Kahele comes from an impressive lineage of Hawaiian musicians. When he was just 15, he was hand-picked by a master of Hawaiian dance to compose music for hula dancers. In 1995, he formed a trio, Na Palapalai, which gained critical and popular acclaim for reinvigorating a classical Hawaiian style. Kahele's unforgettable singing ranges from the raw, guttural intensity stemming from ancient chants to the nostalgic strains of the 1950s to the soaring falsetto on original compositions. His slack-key guitar can summon the ache of a Spanish ballad and the cool breeze of Waimea. Kuana Torres Kahele has garnered a total of 13 Na Hoku Hanohano awards, Hawai'i's equivalent of the Grammies. He arrives in San Francisco with a second solo album under his belt, proving that, though only in his thirties, he continues to innovate and expand the boundaries of Hawaiian music.

Michael Gerson @ The WaPo:
A young reporter who has covered only President Obama's first term has already witnessed several political epochs.
Obama's election was a symbol of reconciliation in America's longest, bloodiest conflict — the one that produced Antietam. It was followed by a partisan lunge to fulfill the dreams of the Great Society by delivering universal health care. Which was followed by an ideological backlash that shifted control of the House, led by activists who talked as if the whole welfare state might be undone. Which was followed by Obama's victorious reelection campaign, which turned the mobilization of partisans and ethnic groups into an exact science and reengaged the culture war on abortion.
2013 inauguration: Waiting, watching, bearing witness: Washington woke early Monday to begin its quadrennial ritual of watching, waiting and bearing witness to the presidential swearing-in.
The compression of these ideological mood swings into four years has left an impression of political instability, perhaps bipolarity. Both parties overreach. Their tone is often frantic and overheated. They focus mainly on energizing the faithful rather than persuading the undecided.
Such polarization has deep roots. Parties, communities and regions have sorted themselves by ideology, producing citizens who operate in separate partisan worlds. Partisan media outlets succeed through the reinforcement and exaggeration of grievances. Most House members represent safe districts in which their greatest political fear is offending those who vote in primaries.
What can a presidential inaugural address do to oppose these centrifugal forces? Probably not much. Maybe admit some mutual fault and call for a new beginning. Maybe direct attention to unifying national values beyond current controversies. Maybe just assert the moral duties of kindness and civility we owe each other in a democracy.
This year, however, the influence of such a speech remains untested because it was not attempted. President Obama set an unobjectionable goal: "a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American." He asserted that this objective can only be achieved "together, as one nation, and one people." But he proceeded to define an agenda, in some detail, that could have been taken from any campaign speech of the 2012 election. It involves the building of roads and research labs, promoting clean-energy technology, protecting entitlements from significant change, passing equal-pay legislation and immigration reform.
Those who oppose this agenda, in Obama's view, are not a very admirable lot. They evidently don't want our wives, mothers and daughters to "earn a living equal to their efforts." They would cause some citizens "to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote." They mistake "absolutism for principle" and "substitute spectacle for politics" and "treat name-calling as reasoned debate." They would have people's "twilight years . . . spent in poverty" and ensure that the parents of disabled children have "nowhere to turn." They would reserve freedom "for the lucky" and believe that Medicare and Social Security "sap our initiative," and they see this as "a nation of takers." They "deny the overwhelming judgment of science" on climate change, don't want love to be "equal" and apparently contemplate "perpetual war."
For Abraham Lincoln, even the gravest national crimes involved shared fault. For Obama, even the most commonplace policy disagreements indicate the bad faith of his opponents. In his first inaugural address, George Washington described the "sacred fire of liberty." In his second, Obama constructed a raging bonfire of straw men.

This year's Runge Reading Throwdown is in the books. You read the numbers last week - all 4 teams (5, if you count me), read more than 10,000 pages, 2 of the teams at more than 20,000 pages and they're awesome. Winners were cheered, prizes were given out, snacks were eaten; it was a lot of fun.
But the best thing for me about our celebration was getting to hear people talk about how much fun they had reading books and how nice it was to feel like they were helping our library out. Some people got back in the habit of reading a little bit every day. Some people re-discovered authors that they used to enjoy but had stopped reading. Some people asked us for help picking something to read and ended up reading (and enjoying) books they'd never heard of before. Although those who won enjoyed getting prizes, most people were really just happy to contribute to their team and by extension to our community. We had kids as young as 5 and adults who are over 80. We had students and teachers, parents, grandparents and children, and members of the Runge Chamber of Commerce and the Runge Museum Board. Our little contest truly ended up being a community effort, and it was a joy and a blessing to see each one of you come in and to get the chance to talk about books with you.
What happens next? Well, we get the library back in shape, we get geared up for the school year. I can't wait till it's read-aloud time again! We start looking for our next community project (suggestions are welcome), and we keep looking for good books for you to read.

Janesville is one of about 20 different cities bidding for an opportunity to bring more jobs, thanks to a planned expansion of Seneca Foods.
Janesville Interm City Manager Jay Winzenz, said the the expansion would allow them to add an 80,000 square-foot addition to the current facility. That addition would house at least new food processing line and create 25 new jobs.
The company already has a more than 1 million square-foot facility on the city's south side.
Winzenz said the expansion would mean the company would need a place to dispose of their waste water.
Janesville is offering to build a pre-treatment lagoon for the company. But it would cost more than $3 million, something the city hopes will pay off down the road.
"The facility that will receive the waste water from Seneca," Winzenz said. "We're also designing it to be able to receive waste water from other future food processing facilities that could locate in this area."
John Beckord, president of Forward Janesville said Rock County's access to freeways, water and agriculture make it is an attractive location for food companies. He said Janesville's project won't take business away from Beloit's food processing industry.
"We're so close and integrated that having Kerry and Hormel and the variety of food processors in the area creates a cluster that's helpful to both communities."

For Immediate Release
November 25, 2013
Des Plaines School Board President receives Thomas Lay Burroughs Award
ISBE presents Brenda Murphy with statewide honor at education conference in Chicago
DES PLAINES – The Illinois State Board of Education named Brenda Murphy of Des Plaines Community Consolidated School District 62 as the 2013 recipient of the Thomas Lay Burroughs Award. The ISBE award annually honors an outstanding school board president in the state. Murphy has served nine years as president of her local school board and 14 years total on the board.
"We are honored to present this award to Brenda, who stood out among some very strong candidates for this year's award," said State Board of Education Chairman Gery J. Chico. "Under her leadership, the Des Plaines district is helping students make academic gains, and importantly, closing the achievement gap with improved technology, an emphasis on early learning education and many more initiatives."
From 2004 to 2012 in CCSD 62, the percentage of enrolled students from low income families increased from 28.9 percent to 46.4 percent. In 2004, 50 percent of the district's low-income students met and exceeded standards in reading, compared to 78 percent of their counterparts from non low-income families. The ISAT scores in 2012 chronicle a story of improvement and achievement. In 2012, 76 percent of low-income students and 90 percent of non low-income students met and exceeded standards in reading. Similar results have been achieved in other subgroups.
"Brenda Murphy is a visionary who leads the board with the utmost courage, integrity and tenacity," stated CCSD 62 Superintendent Jane Westerhold in her nominating letter. "She has developed a board that shares the belief that the focus most be on student achievement."
Community Consolidated School District 62 is an elementary district in Cook County serving the Des Plaines and Rosemont communities, northwest of Chicago. The district serves more than 5,000 students in grades pre-K to eight.
Murphy is also credited for her high involvement in school events and activities on a weekly basis, her efforts to boost access to technology for all students and being a strong proponent of early childhood education. Under Murphy's leadership and direction, an Early Learning Center was constructed and now serves more than 600 early learning students, including English language learners, special needs students and at-risk students. Since 2004, the district has significantly boosted its bandwidth and introduced hundreds more computers, Smart Boards and personal devices into the classrooms.
ISBE created the award for school board presidents in 1991 to honor Thomas Lay Burroughs who served as chairman of the State Board of Education and the Board of Education for the Collinsville School District. The award recognizes extraordinary educational leadership at the local level, including leadership:
- on behalf of improved student learning and educational excellence;
- in resolving a crisis or major difficulty; and
- on behalf of equal education opportunities.
Brenda Murphy received the 2013 Thomas Lay Burroughs Award on Sunday, Nov. 24, during the joint annual conference of the Illinois Association of School Boards, the Illinois Association of School Administrators and Illinois Association of School Business Officials in Chicago. State Board of Education members Curt Bradshaw of Naperville and Dr. Vinni M. Hall of Chicago were on hand to present the award to Murphy.
"Under Brenda's leadership, one can see that she supports our millennial learners with the substantive increase in technical student support during her tenure," said Hall, who serves as secretary for the nine-member State Board of Education. "The students can't help but achieve with her knowledge of what it takes to learn for the next century."
Recent winners of ISBE's Thomas Lay Burroughs Award include:
Ron Moehring
Illini Central School District 189

Supermarket Scoop1 of 13
By Womans Day
'Tis the season for food shopping, and we spoke with experts to get the inside scoop on everything from smart saving strategies to spotting the freshest goods. Read on to discover all the things you probably didn't know about your favorite food store.
There's No Ideal Time to Shop2 of 13
"Supermarkets used to get food deliveries once or twice a week, but now most stores are getting shipments every day," says food trends, safety and consumer shopping expert Phil Lempert. "The idea that certain items are going to be fresher on certain days doesn't hold true anymore."
But Mornings are Best3 of 13
He does, however, note that no matter what day you shop, the morning is an ideal time to find the freshest produce and dairy products. Stock is replenished from the previous day first thing in the morning (besides, the milk case has only been covered in a refrigeration blanket overnight).
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Online Shopping Secrets
Beware the Tiny Fruit Display4 of 13
Dan Glickberg, vice president of Fairway Market says, "Our stores have massive produce displays, and we're able to have them because we sell through our products quickly. If you see smaller setups, the store most likely doesn't go through its produce as quickly" — which means, of course, that it's been sitting on that display for longer.
Superstores Aren't Cheaper5 of 13
According to Teri Gault, author of Shop Smart, Save More, everyday low-pricing stores like Walmart, Winn-Dixie and Food Lion won't necessarily serve up the best deals. "Higher-end supermarkets like A&P or Wegmans often offer sale prices that, if you use coupons wisely, will dip lower than those at everyday low-pricing stores."
Wash Your Hands6 of 13
According to Andy Kielbania, chief scientist at BioNeutral Group, Inc., the push handles on shopping carts are a prime area for bacteria. "People who are sick will almost certainly have illness-breeding germs on their hands," he warns. "And the moisture and body oils on the shopping cart handle create an inviting place for germs to grow."
Be Cautious of Exotic Fruit7 of 13
According to Lempert, the average produce department now has almost 400 different items. "Obviously, apples, oranges and bananas sell a lot faster than, say, a cherimoya," he says. "Typically, the standard fruits and veggies are going to move faster, which means they'll be replenished more quickly."
Do the Smell Test8 of 13
If you're picking up a more unusual item, take the time to smell it, feel it and, when in doubt, ask the produce manager questions, because there's a chance it's been sitting out for longer than usual.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Secrets of Customer Service Reps
Don't Go By Price Tags9 of 13
Instead, check out the cost-per-unit label on the shelf, which will reveal the true value of each product, advises Gault. "People always assume they'll save the most if they buy the biggest size," she says. "But if you look at the cost per unit, often the middle size will offer the best value."
Don't Be Fooled by Fancy Displays10 of 13
"People believe that because the items are piled high and beautifully arranged, there's a deal happening," says Lempert. But there's only a sale about half of the time, so be sure to read the signs carefully before you start loading the goods into your shopping cart.
Be Nice11 of 13
"My dad always used to tease my mom that she was having an affair with the butcher because she always got such good deals on meat," says Gault. "But she taught me that it really pays to make friends with him." A good relationship with the people who work at your grocery store — especially the butcher or employees who work in the bakery — can score you deals.
Never Hurts to Ask12 of 13
Gault says she's had the bakery mark down pies with the next day's sell-by date on them just by asking. But keep in mind that independent or independently owned stores are the most likely to cut you deals like this.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Slash Your Grocery Bill in Half
Choose the Freezer13 of 13
A lot of fish comes to the U.S. from overseas, so it's already been frozen or stored on ice by the time it's landed in your grocery store's fish section, says Lempert. He recommends checking the display signs for the words "previously frozen," and if you see that, you may as well purchase a version from the freezer section.
