Small Yard, Tree Roots....?
I have a fairly small yard and in one corner there is a tree that is off my property whose roots are above the surface IN my yard. I don't want to ruin the tree, but I'd like to put in a patio with minimal cost/construction. I'm not much of a carpenter and I'm working on a small budget. It's really about having a solid ground on which to place a grill and possibly a patio set. I've included a picture of the problem tree below. Any ideas? I wanted to just do pavers, but don't know if it's possible without cutting the roots...

I'd call the city and maybe talk to the neighbour...I'd be interested to know who has the right to the tree roots if they impact your development.

legally the tree roots can be cut if they are on your property.
looking at the size of the tree you will not have any problems with the tree dying.
We have removed many tree roots to install patios and never has a tree died.

You may have but you have been very lucky. If you do not kill the tree outright, you will weaken it and it will then be susceptible to disease and or insect damage.

Healthy roots and healthy trees
Quick Facts ...
Most tree roots are in the first 6 to 24 inches of soil and occupy an area two to four times the diameter of the tree.
The roots of drawing water, oxygen and soil minerals. They do not grow into nothingness, or in any particular direction.
Soil compaction, change in soil depth and improper watering can damage the roots, which increases stress and susceptibility to diseases and insects.
To avoid root diseases, maintain a healthy, vigorous around a tree. Once a root system is severely affected, usually the tree should be removed.
The root system of a tree performs many vital functions. In winter, is a storehouse of essential food reserves needed by the tree to produce spring foliage. Roots absorb and transport water and minerals from the earth with the rest of the tree. Roots also anchor the tree to the ground. It is important to keep the portion on healthy soil to ensure an adequate supply of food for the roots to continue their important functions.
Where roots grow
The root systems consist of large tree roots perennials and small, short feeder roots. Roots large, woody tree and their primary branches increase in size and grow horizontally. They are located predominantly in the first 6 to 24 inches of soil and usually do not grow more than 3 to 7 feet. Root functions include conducting water and minerals, food and water storage, and anchorage.
By contrast, the absorbing roots, although averaging only 1 / 16 inch in diameter, constitute the bulk of the surface of the root system. These roots grow out smaller and especially the rise of the large roots near the soil surface, where minerals, water and oxygen are relatively abundant. The main function of the absorbing roots is to absorb water and minerals. Normally, the feeder roots die and are replaced regularly.
Roots large and small feeder roots occupy a large area underground. Normally, the root system of a tree extends outward beyond the drip line, two to four times the diameter of the average tree canopy
Why grow the roots where they do
The roots grow in water, minerals and oxygen in the soil. Because the increased supply of these materials are normally found in the topsoil, the greatest concentration of feeder roots exist in this area.
Other factors determining the growth of roots in soil compaction (reduction of air pockets resulting from soil particles are stacked) and soil temperature. In general, as depth increases, increases soil compaction, while the availability of water, minerals, temperature, oxygen and soil all down. In some cases, hard floor (hard layers) can occur near the surface, which limits the growth of roots.
The causes of root injury and illness
There are many ways to damage the roots of trees and tree stress. Some injuries are accidental and can not be avoided. However, most damage can be avoided with some care.
One of the main killers of urban trees is soil compaction. Soil compaction limits the absorption of water and oxygen by the roots, and is associated with roads, parking lots, pedestrian traffic, construction machinery, livestock, poor soil preparation, and a number of other factors.
Changes in the depth of the soil around trees can also cause damage to root systems. The addition of only 4 to 6 inches of soil in a root zone drastically reduces the amount of oxygen and water available to the roots
Other causes of root problems are more and underwatering, inadequate fertilization, and competition between the roots. Over-watering causes the soil pores (air) spaces to fill with water and restrict oxygen consumption. Underwatering not provide sufficient water for proper root development. Over-fertilization can injure or kill the roots, while underfertilization results in the lack of essential minerals to maintain a healthy tree. Competition for water and minerals from the roots of trees, shrubs, grass and flowers can seriously stress trees. Trees of stress if the routine preparation of soil for the roots of the tree's flowers damages.
Other practices that increase root injury and susceptibility to disease are: misuse of herbicides, deicing salts and other chemicals, injuring over excavation and trenching and the addition of mulch deep (more than 5 inches), the plastic or pavement that restricts or suffocates the roots. After a tree is established, anything that changes the condition of the ground or the supply of oxygen and water can be extremely harmful.
Types of root diseases
The two basic types of fungi that cause root diseases are the feeder roots that kill and those that cause cavities in large woody roots,. Many fungi are produced in small absorbing roots. The most common are the species of Phytophthora, Pythium and Fusarium. These break the feeder roots and reduce the minerals and the tree of water absorption capacity. The fungi that attack large, woody roots suppress the growth, decay, food transport cells, reduce the storage of food and reduce structural support for the tree.
Signs and symptoms of root disease
Typical symptoms associated with root diseases often confused with mineral deficiencies due to a large number of dead roots reduce the absorption of water and minerals. Symptoms of root disease are small, yellow foliage, chlorotic (Figure 5), reduced growth, burns, leaves tufted at the end of the branches, and branch dieback. Fungal fruiting bodies (mushrooms or stops working) at the base of the tree, and white fungal growth beneath the bark, also indicate a root disease. Symptoms of root problems of construction damage or other harmful activities can occur one to several years after the damage occurred.
Direct examination can verify an illness. Carefully dig up the roots by removing a small portion of the cortex. A brown discoloration under the bark indicates a dead root, while a healthy root usually appears white or light colored (Figure 6).
Control and Prevention
The most effective way to reduce the possibility of root injury and disease is to keep the tree healthy and vigorous. A healthy environment of the root is composed of a suitable space for the growth of root system, well conditioned, floor of 16 inches to 24 inches deep, and sufficient water and oxygen. To check the status of water and soil environment of the roots, dig a hole outside the drip line of the tree and determine if the soil is dry, wet or compacted. If you can not get the shovel in the ground, the soil is dry. Soil moisture is adequate if the soil can be turned into a ball with little pressure. Long, deep watering of the root system over time the soil dry out between waterings is best for the trees they frequent light watering. Watering once a month for a long winter dry is also helpful.
Avoid any practice that damages the roots. This includes: soil compaction, changes in soil depth, mechanical damage, and improper irrigation and fertilization techniques. However, if these practices can not be avoided, try to minimize damage.
To minimize soil compaction, remove compacted soil and replace it with compacted soil. Allow evacuation before planting. Use 2 to 3 inches of compost (peat, wood chips, bark) around the base of a tree to improve the availability of aeration and water.
Avoid fertilization damage by applying nitrogen fertilizer to established trees immediately after the expansion of the leaf spring, not in the summer and fall.

Lady you said a mouthfull. I would contact the neighbor and he and I would have some undersanding about how the tree is to be removed. If the roots are on your property and keeping you from using your property for whaterver you desire then you have the legal right to demand that the problem be corrected. I say have neighbor cut the tree. If he wants another tree then he should plant it far enough on his property as to not effect yours.
I like to be neighborly but this works both ways.
Maybe if you ask him he will agree and give you an easy out.
I had a neighbor once that had an old rotten wooden fence and it got to the point where it was litterally falling over in my yard. I asked him to restore or remove the fence. He did not so one day I just took it down and hauled it to the dump. He said he was going to sue me and I told him to go ahead. He later moved. Now I have put up a very nice stained wooden 6 foot fence which is very attractive and does not encroach on my neighbor.

I might have missed this but why are we downgrading bittorrent (outside of the gui throwing a segfault on startup).Not sure, but I notice there's a newer version (5.0.6) of bittorrent available, that may or may not address the reason why 5.0.5 is being dropped: http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/BitTorrent-5.0.6.tar.gz
Whilst there are some changes in the logging code that causes the segfault in 5.0.5, 5.0.6 still segfaults with wxPython 2.8.

The valet parking service was too expensive and too slow.
Room was extremely small compared the price if the room.
I like the fact that the hotel was closed to everything that we needed from restaurants, bars and drugstores. The hotel staff were very friendly from the valet attendant to the front desk. Our flight got delayed and they were able to accommodate our check-in time. We understand that parking is an issued around the city but we thought it was expensive for the hotel to charge $45 for valet parking and there are a lot of homeless people walking around. I wouldn't walk around the city by yourself at night.
Es war sauber. Der Preis war unverschämt. Die Lage so lala und eher laut. Parken und Frühstück teuer.
The only thing we liked is its location, right next to Jack London Square. The bathroom is tiny and outdated. no tub for my children. Advertised "city view" was actually view of the back alley/parking lot. $25 valet parking was mandatory, no self parking. not going to recommend or stay there again.
The location is nice, good restaurants within walking distance in the area. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the wine & cheese hour was a nice touch. Everything was great with the exception of the thin walls, which unfortunately makes it a deal breaker for me.
The location in Jack London Square, fairly spacious rooms Unexpected noise of the Amtrack as it passed very close to hotel
There is a shower only, no bath. The wall is thin. The noise were heared from the adjacent rooms or the passage. The room is narrow.
It's been years since I've stayed at Jack London Square. It's definitely gone up a step. Waterfront Hotel is an easy access location - both for driving and the train. Great restaurants both right in the Square and a short stroll away. The rooms are clean and comfortable and it was surprisingly quiet even with all the events during our stay. The ONLY drawback was the hallway maze to our room. If we just followed the numbers we eventually got there...but no two paths were the same. Our coffee maker was broken but they delivered hot coffee to us immediately on request. The TV was also out but the cable was replaced while we were out for dinner. Perfect service.
Lovely evening meal at restaurant having a limo called for us when we had asked for a cab!
Everything was perfect. Except the breakfast at the attached restaurant was fairly expensive and the service was not superbre, but the hotel itself is a true pleasure to stay in.
The room was incredibly dirty and the beds uncomfortable. To be specific there was an unflushed toilet with something not so pleasant upon our arrival into our room. Completely unacceptable. The television did not work either. I will NEVER stay at this hotel again.
The staff did a wonderful job. very friendly Parking and the cost to park no breakfast for guess
Balcony, view, color, staff, proximity to office. told it'd be $20 for valet, but valet told me $25. I was charged $20. train sucked.
Clean rooms, close to downtown Oakland, waterfront views. Thin walls and ceiling, could hear everything our upstairs neighbors were saying and doing, including peeing into the toilet! We were placed in a weird room right off the lobby and could hear people arriving and checking in. Was not worth the money we paid.
The hotel was very clean with friendly staff. The atmosphere felt comfortable and safe. No complaints at all.
The staff was pleasant and the shuttle service was a nice convenience. Initial room assigned was already occupied. Hallways had an unpleasant odor. Building, rooms and furnishings all seemed in need of updating.
EVERYTHING! The customer service was outstanding, the rooms were large and very clean. Awesome location (it's worth the extra $ to have a water view room). I liked that they offer a free shuttle to Jack London Square. Parking at this hotel is FREE (unlike some other hotels nearby). The pool and bar is really nice, too. There wasn't anything I disliked about this hotel. I will definitely stay if I'm in the area again.
Staff was AMAZING. They bent over backwards to help me. They had free shuttle service to Downtown Oakland! Place was clean with delicious, free breakfast. Hands down, though, it was staff that made this place excellent! Nothing. I will stay here again. Best hotel in Oakland!
The check-in folks were friendly. Your description of having rooms on the bay side or a 'view of the city' was very deceiving. The view of the city was a view of interstate 880, and was incredibly noisy since you're located right on the edge of the interstate. It was the noisiest room I have ever stayed in, and there was no way to get any sleep. The rugs were not clean, and the plumbing in the room was poor.
A safe spot in oakland
Location, Breakfast buffet, room Check in process : Brittany did not communicate very well and it resulted in some misunderstandings about our reserved room.
Pool area was too noisy our room was located right above it.
Great experience! Hotel was clean and well-kept. Rooms were very comfortable. Rooms facing the water were extremely quiet at night. A relief after staying at other hotels in Oakland with lots of street noise. Also a delight to look out at the water in the morning. Beds and desks were comfortable. Staff was generally very helpful. A couple times staff were curt, seemed irritated at doing their jobs. Also, they changed their shuttle service to only pick up and drop off at four locations, instead of anywhere within a three mile radius. The shuttle was still extremely helpful, and this wasn't that big of a deal, but it should have been properly advertised on their website ahead of time.
The room was comfortable, clean, and a good value The shower didn't work very well
I'm usually a Hilton / Holiday Inn person. Thought that this Comfort Inn would be a "downgrade". Was pleasantly surprised when I found it as good /better than my usuals. WiFi connection very Weil, nice room, comfortable bed etc. I'll try it again!
Fine for a two night stay. Bathroom sink kept clogging, not so great area.
I liked how close it was Walls were dirty. It smelled wired.
close to the football stadium
I liked it
close to airport, shuttle service to airport, nice rooms
Room was quite good.
We liked the fact that it was clean and liked the price. The breakfast had problems sausage was cold and sausage muffin sandwiches were moldy,got 3 all moldy, actually bit into mold,not good
courteous staff, not too far off from SFO downtown, in-room microwave & refrigerator.
It was easy access to Oracle arena for a concert and to the airport the next day. we enjoyed the Jimmy Dean sausage sandwiches. . Grateful for the refrigerator and microwave. Would have liked the fan in the bathroom to work and the person above us tramped through their room literally all night long, stomp, stomp, stomp, couldn't sleep.
What I appreciated most was the professionalism and friendliness of all of the staff. They were knowledgable of the surrounding area which proved to be quite helpful in assisting me in navigating around the area. I enjoyed the BBQ that was held there as well. I wish the rooms were a little larger.
The Sunday buffet at the Meritage was very good. The lap swimming in the pools and 3 free hours of childcare included in the resort fee was also very nice and an unexpected bonus. Ridiculously overpriced for what it was. $26 resort fee and $30 valet fee on top of over $200/night for a tiny old room that wouldn't even pass muster at a Best Western? The room was awful - outdated, small, old, musty and generally uncomfortable. Noisy from the hallway, the bed was saggy, the comforter stained and 2 adults plus a baby in a crib were way too many to fit in a tiny standard room.
Staff was very good. Room service excellent and the pools were great. I asked for a taxi to take me to SFO. Instead of a taxi, they had reserved a sedan which was more expensive than a taxi. I thought it was a little bit cheesy. I'm sure that some people want to drive to the airport in a fancier car but they should specify. I asked for a taxi, not a town car.
Loved the look of the place from the outside..altho you quickly feel like an inconvenience being shuffled out of the way. The hotel is rich with history and has very nice decor..the room was big, with a big bathroom. The trexk to the room was ridiculous, having to take two elevators and very long walks on different levels while carrying your things. The room floor needed vacuumed, you could feel stuff on the carpet. After we checked in, we left to go get dinner and you can't get out of the gate without a special card given at the front desk. Well guess what- oh, and it cost $30 for this parking privilege.
Staff was great. When we checked in room wasn't ready but they did have an upgrade queen to king for $35 per night more. They charge $30 per day to park. If you want to take a guest to the pool they charge $30 per day per person. All the up charges made it rather expensive. The Meritage restaurant was not open. Only place to eat was small and not very good. It is an OLD hotel built in 1918 but upgraded. Rooms are small. The elevator permit was 6 months overdue.
Our oasis on the hill! The Claremont is a special place and I return there whenever I can; the location is central yet private and the staff is friendly, attentive, helpful and genuine. Each staff member, from the housekeeping staff to the manager, smiles and greets guests and is not only ready, but willing, to make your stay enjoyable. When there was an issue at check-in with the room assigned. Frank Flynn quickly and apologetically gave us another room with no question. In chatting with Fracesco (I'm sure I have not spelled his name correctly-my apologies!) in the lobby, we told him we were headed into the city the next day; he not only cautioned us about traffic and crowds in the Golden Gate Park area due to a concert, he recommended alternative areas to visit-and when he saw us a couple of days later, he asked how our trip went! A special shout-out also to Mohammad and Zachary who took care of us for breakfast in the Meritage restaurant-their service standards and guest treatment should be the envy of fine dining establishments everywhere. They made the start of our days happy and pleasant and really made an impact of the pleasure of staying at the Claremont! The charm of an old beauty like the Claremont is also sometimes what makes you miss some things you might find in a newer hotel; the HVAC system can be unreliable and loud, the bathroom does not have an exhaust fan, etc. But having noted that, the graciousness of the wide hallways and high ceilings easily make you overlook those modern facility differences!
The look of the hotel The check in staff
Stay was great wished new more about it before we got there to enjoy the facilities Food prices were a little high
Nice pool, spa and exercise facilities. My kids had a blast at the pool - it was nicely heated and they enjoyed it despite the cooler February weather. Our room was below one of the hotel's restaurants. 6am on a sunday morning and isn't a great time to be woken up to the sounds of tables and chairs being moved. It's an old hotel so it's pretty loud. When I checked out they gave me a bit of a discount and said that when we checked in that the front desk should have warned us that our room was loud... they really just shouldn't rent out the rooms or if they do charge less.... but they'd rather put guests in a position where they have to complain to get a discount. Even with the discount if was an expensive weekend that wasn't as restful as you'd expect for the money.
Wonderful location. Grand old building which has been well maintained. It had been some years since I last stayed there and the place seemed in better shape than it was.
Location - close to everything including freeways. Facilities were excellent -- pool, exercise room, etc. They treated me like a second class citizen because I booked not directly through them. Promised me a fridge and I had to find a facilities guy who didn't talk to the front desk to get one. Told me there was a free breakfast buffet, but then it wasn't free.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Nice clean rooms but a good breakfast. Very soft beds with little support.
We liked that the hotel is close to the coliseum BART station and we like that you are also pretty close to a Walmart shopping center. We also liked that it was near the O.co Colisium and an Arena! It's a pretty nice hotel overall, except the street it is on is kinda sketch. Definitely not a street I would be on at midnight.
clean fast, convenient shuttles caring staff affordable close to BART and OAK airport
The best part of this hotel was the daytime shuttle driver. Everything else fell below expectations. We had booked a room with two queen beds and got a King suite instead. The morning manager insisted that I had booked the King suite until I showed her my printed confirmation that showed two queen room. No apology from her, just that they were booked up and couldn't fix the problem. When I asked if the queen sofa bed was made up, she assured me it was. After a long day in San Francisco, we called for the hotel shuttle to pick us up at the Bart Station. The night manager was not helpful when we asked where to stand to wait--just that the shuttle would be there in 15 minutes. We waited 45 minutes and finally had to get a cab. When I asked the night manager where the shuttle was, he insisted that it was there and picked up two clients ( not us). He never said he was sorry about us having to pay for a cab. Then, the sofa bed had NOT been made up. Night manager brought up sheets and said that we would have to make up the bed ourselves because there was no one else to do it. Again, no apology. If you like paying over $200 a night for terrible customer service, this hotel is for you.
The location of this hotel is worse than Kabul. Don't bring your children here. Spend $20 more and stay ANY place else. Ask for a room with no windows because you won't want to look outside.
Nothing I wanted to cancel my reservation as soon as I knew it was not needed. However, the hotel and priceline refused to cancel the reservation and charged me the full amount even though I did not use the room.
Restaurant was surprizingly good. Rooms excellent. We used the laundry, which was also good.
Reasonable price and easy access to the airport. Trendy areas are a 20 min uber ride away.
Very friendly and accommodating staff at the front desk. I had to drop off our rental vehicle the night before leaving Oakland and they actually came to pick me up from the rental facility to take me back to the hotel. In the morning I caught the hotel shuttle to the airport. The shuttle driver was friendly and helped with everything we wanted to do, even suggesting places we could eat nearby. The free breakfast at the hotel was Fantastic with lots to choose from. The rooms were comfortable with good amenities in the bathroom. There was a strong smell of mothballs in the stairwell and hallway of the back right wing of the hotel where we stayed. That had me scared a little as we came in but the rooms were fine and clean.
Overall the room was very comfortable and well decorated. The bathroom has a slight smell but it did not look dirty in any way. There is a restaurant on the premises so that made it easier for me on a business trip to relax and get work done before my meeting. Plenty of parking. Smell in bathroom and they charge for printing from the business center.
Good location Not enough help. Too much waiting
Staff try hard to please This was my second state; the two were about a week apart. The first one was good, but there were lots of problems this time. The main one was with the key, which failed repeatedly. Also, I tried to print something in the business center, but it does not have a printer and the one at the desk (which was supposed to be accessed via the business center) also failed.
Night manager who checked me in was very nice and professional The hallways had a musty smell
The staff at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The room had stains all over the bed spread. The entire hotel even though non smoking smelled like smoke everywhere. The hotel was in the middle of a warehouse district and there was nothing within walking distance outside of the other hotels.
The room was clean and comfortable The staff was horrible. Didn't seem like they cared at all. Upon check in the lady at counter was watching something on her tablet and continued to watch it while I standed there and waited to be checked in. Totally rude and unprofessional.
Clean and comfortable Way overpriced for this market. Should be $60-$75 a night.
The room was great. Did not get to spend too much time in it though. Morning clerk was great! Clerk who checked us in was not in good mood and it really showed. She was very short and seemed like we were bothering her. Others were being given complementary water. We were not. We were unsure where to go in parking lot and building. We were not told of the free breakfast and missed it completely.
Mother-in-law & I were in a room for the disabled. It was obviously not put together with input from a handicapped person. But it was clean, quiet and comfortable.
Staff was helpful and courteous.
Staff cleanliness all good. Overpriced restaurant and bar
The hotel was very clean and the staff was very organized and welcoming.
The staff was great. Friendly and helpful Didn't like that we had to wait for the shuttle to get us to the airport. Wasn't really their fault as teh taxi they arranged to take us at 4:15AM didn't show up
Loved the peace and quiet. Didn't have to go far for food. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The sheets weren't fully clean ughh.. Had to have housekeeping change the sheets.
How clean and comfortable it was it felt brand new Nothing
I was incredibly disappointed I'd made a reservation and when I'd arrived they did not have a room for me because they were overbooked. I arrived at midnight that night because I had a late flight in. They did not attempt to contact me to let me know. They paid for me to stay at another Courtyard Marriott that was 45 min away, which created additional challenges for me because it was 60 min in rush hour to my business meeting the next day. I was incredibly disappointed with their practice of overbooking.
Water and apples at the lobby. And the free shuttle to airport ect. Street side room was noise with traffic noise.
The hotel was near OAK, so it was convenient to check in after having been through a long flight. The front desk agent was friendly, and made us feel welcomed. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a good stay. It would have been better if there was a container of hot water or coffee at all times in the lobby area.
The only thing that frustrated me was the lack of information about facilities and services. The staff member who checked me in gave very little detail about how things worked because there was a line of people waiting to check in. For example, I didn't know that the shuttle was only available at certain times and that I had to sign up for a time. I didn't know the hours of the cafe, etc. It would be helpful if all of this basic information was given out on a sheet of paper at check in so that I didn't have to keep calling the front desk to figure things out.
Not safe !!! Had to park down 2 blocks in parking garage !!! No hotel parking like listing said !!! No deals like we were PROMISED FROM KYACK !!! You could tell our ROOM WASNT CLEAN...THERE WERE USED TOWELS EVERYWHERE AND WHEN WE CALLED TO COMPLAIN ALL THEY SAID WAS HUH THATS STRANGE !!!! Lame not worth it if your looking to go to a show and dont want to worry about your stuff...THEN DONT STAY HERE !!!! I work at hotels and this was by far one of our worst experince !!!
Staff was great took care of us and where on point which all the little details Needed more shampoo and conditioner!!...fit under my boob
I loved the room and the space in the room. When I walked through the hallway it smelled so good....awesome experience!
convenient location to business in Berkeley and Oakland areas and easy on/off I-880 to get to airport. Staff was friendly. Large rooms and baths. Nice amenities. Gritty neighborhood that is trying to transition to be more upscale but it is hard to navigate, there's a lot of trash around and in the water. My room's view was of a forlorn half-sunk sailboat and a wall of graffiti.
I liked the views of the water. The gym was cool. Staff was great. Breakfast was nice. Rooms were spacious. Bathroom was lovely. Parking was easy. There was a very weird smell to the rooms. I went into my first room and asked to be moved and then upon entrance into second room on opposite side I realized they all smell lol. Weird we paid more for the best western over the executive suites their sister property but the sister property actually had the pool and hot tub and bar so had to walk over there. Still very close though. Someone had left a jacket in the closet and I guess the maids missed it. Pricey.
Location Police take over the lobby area. Breakfast could be better organized.
Clean, spacious, waterfront, transportation amenities Hotel needs to keep shoreline free of debri
Good place. Being renovated right now. Call before you book to see if they're finished.
Service at checking and checkout is outstanding. The desk person was so friendly, offering additional information. That made our stay more enjoyable. Finding ice was tricky.
No fault of the inn, but if you can't sleep through train whistles all night long, you won't like it. Otherwise no problems or complaints.
The location was perfect! A couple steps to the water front where you can board the fairy to San Francisco. Staff was friendly check in and out was easy, bed was very comfortable. room was a tad outdated but was still very clean and nice. Hidden parking charges and fees
Very clean. Friendly staff The price! It was described as a boutique hotel. Hah! A motel without the convenience of a refrigerator and microwave.
This is a simple place with a nice courtyard and pleasant rooms. Nothing fancy but good. Central location. The furniture was a bit cramped for the space.
AJ was very accommodating and super helpful by getting us ferry times and recommending restaurants to eat. Extremely friends front desk staff. Room was very nice and we were pleasantly surprised to find a microwave and fridge in the room. We go into the Amtrak terminal late and walked to the hotel, not very far but still a little scary. Some people just asking for money.
Bunch of you kids partying at midnight kept complex awake and management did nothing to resolve matter
Our trip to jack london was great.the location was perfect there were plenty to do right outside our hotel.rooms where clean and bed where better than expected.front desk was the only down side we waited 1 hours because our rooms where not ready and we gotno apologies. Food next door at the butternut was great
Cheaper alternative to the more expensive waterfront hotels in the area. Great food at the diner next door. Parking cost $15/day. You can hear people walking above your room if you're on the 1st floor.
Comfy Beds, lots of parking, and quiet location. No waterfront entrance and only one entrance into hotel
The inn was clean and it was less expensive than staying in San Francisco. The train is way too close and there are a lot of homeless people and sex workers around. The hotel is located in a strange area that has nice waterfront restaurants but also has a porn theatre and sketchy bars.
Strange experience altogether. Checkin gentleman was a little uncomfortably flirtatious while the morning staff person at checkout was unfriendly and curt. Elevator out of service and was only offered a free cancellation verses a discount. Incredibly noisy room, awkward layout. At $170 with tax, definitely not worth the overall experience. Would not recommend ot stay at again.
Very comfortable room and bed, friendly staff, good location near The Fox Theatre and lots of bars and restaurants. No hot water to speak of, wifi only worked for about 5 minutes.
-elevator felt a little sketchy; needs some maintenance
Perfect location. Went to a concert at the fox theater and right downtown. Parking is easy, even on the street is fine. Very safe, Oakland just has a bad rep
Having driven up from LA, we arrived just after midnight. We called 2-3 hours away to let the concierge know.. the guy hung up on us. Luckily, he had left by the time we got there... Thomas, the night concierge, was awesome and extremely helpful! The next evening, we had some late night troubles with getting a taxi. I question of this "new" guy actually called... we waited for a long time. However, I really enjoyed having a 24- hour concierge... thanks for that. It's a "boutique" hotel... hence the room was tiny. HOWEVER, We slept well, the room was well laid out for being so small, and has all the fixins' of a regular hotel. Parking was across the street at the Convention center, but for a reduced rate. In the AM there was a continental breakfast, which was a nice spread. This hotel was right smack in the middle of downtown Oakland, on the border of ChinaTown. Which was great because "Fortune" Chinese is open late and 2-3 blocks away and delish! The area is very walkable, with stores and bars and restaurants nearby. See above...
Good for folks looking for a quick and quiet stay. The 'breakfast' left much to be desired.
The price was great. There was quite a bit of cleanser left in the shower, but it was clean!
Location Breakfast was weak
Location was ideal for business, food & nightlife in downtown Oakland. 2 blocks from BART. Rooms are nicely updated while still maintaining old-school charm. Rooms are a bit snug and sink is in bathroom but c'mon people this building is 100+ years old. You're clearly not at a Courtyard Marriott, embrace the history. Surprisingly good water pressure for an older building. I stayed on second floor above the entrance and there was a ton of street noise that woke me up in the morning--trash pickup at 5 AM, loud truck running and pallet unloading for Smart & Final next door at 6 AM. Not really hotel's fault but something to be aware of--choose a higher/rear facing room or bring a loud fan. It was nice they provided it but breakfast was bare minimum. Staff was friendly but staff rushed through check-in as quick as possible. Shampoo but no conditioner in bathroom.
I loved how comfy the beds were, bathrooms could of been a lil bigger for the type of room I stayed in, but it got the job done, lol I didn't like that I needed a separate ticket to get out.
Badly in need of refurbishing and more concern for patrons, but the place was completely full.
I needed to do laundry and the staff was very helpful! I felt so much better traveling with clean clothes! My stay was too short!
Good sheets, bed, pillows, breakfast was very good as well...business center was a life saver!
Clean , quite , great location for travel thru Oakland airport , would , stay again Location , cleanliness and friendly staff
clean construction/noise
The front desk staff was friendly. The shullte service is great. &They allow you park the car in the hotel while you are away.
The bed. Nothing really. Everything was great. Great budget hotel.
Total value of LQ program. The consistency of the quality. Been an LQ fan since 2007. There were two break ins to commercial stayers. This is is a real problem around airport Travellers as we are so sting exhausted
Great hotel close to airport with free airport shuttle. Good night sleep before my early flight TV didn't work
Staff friendliness Staff maintenance Air conditioner needed work, it dripped water on the floor and had been doing so long enough for the room to develop a musty smell
Close to the Airport
Overall it was clean and cozy. Bath tub drain. No refill towels.(their mistake)
close to airport. It was clean and I felt safe there.
Close to airport. Beds seemed fairly clean and no stink in my room. It's Oakland I guess so you can't be too picky. $200 for a night is crazy for the quality though. There was a big convention so that maybe the issue but I've stayed in Motel 6's that were less scary. Whoever did the flooring in the bathroom glued the edges but not the middle so they have warped. Looked like someone wiped bloody buggers on the wall at some point and they have never been cleaned. Pretty nasty
Good price. Clean comfortable, no frills room. Attached to a fantastic country kitchen/soul food spot. When we arrived, they listed off everything they'd advertised that was under maintenance: the elevators, pool, gym, and air conditioner. If they had advertised these conditions in advance, I may still have considered it a good deal for the price but it was rough to get all that news after a long flight.
Very close to great entertainment and downtown. Hotel staff was very accomodating. I was surprise they did not promote the dinner next store
There was no hot water during my 3 night stay The complimentary breakfast was poor The door card did not work at times
It was dirty, one older white guy was very unfriendly and I got a dirty room. It was all under construction.
Right across the street from Jack London Square. Next to Everett and Jones, Chicken and Waffles and a half dozen other great restaurants.
Accessibility to free shuttle to Bart to San Francisco and the Amtrak station Breakfast buffet cancelled, no notice in advance. Air conditioning was broken, opened window, too noisy, did not sleep well.
Bed was comfortable. Staff was very nice. There were food containers under the bed so can't say they did a good job cleaning the room. The Wi-Fi did not work at all. I was unable to work while I stayed there. I will not book here again.
Staff (the Hispanic one is good, the black girl was rude) were friendly and does her best to help. 1)The train passes right in front of the hotel, from 6am until 8pm-ish. Blows the horn every single time to warn drivers. 2)Hotel is in serious need of repair. Leaking faucets, damp carpet, ripped bedsheets., bad reception on tv. 3) no ice in the hall way 4) no towels provided until you asked for them
Nice room size, friendly staff, free parking, continental breakfast, great location. Definitely would stay here again Our shower door didn't shut all the way so water leaked out.
Air conditioner didn't work, no towels or TP in room when we arrived, dirty & train was in front of hotel that went by until 1:30am Leaving
Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Door handle didn't work. People living in vans in the hotel parking lot, getting drunk and yelling at each other all night. Bathroom floor was slimy/sticky. Cigarette burns in the comforter Just about everything (dresser, bathroom door, etc...) was broken or nonfunctional. Shower was gross. Toilet didn't flush properly.
The rooms are extremely dated, and have a very bad smell.
Very convenient to airport. Pick up and delivery to and from airport very timely. Hotel clean and staff personable. Would prefer to have internet access available in all rooms and included in hotel rates. Restaurant staff (waitress and kitchen) is slow and food is fair at best, especially for breakfast.
Proximity to where a concert was occuring.
Pickup at car rental and transport to airport
Clean large rooms, friendly staff, near airport Nothing
Convenient locatation, gated parking. The rooms are tired. When you walk in the room its hard to believe that this is a Hilton property. This goes for the mini lobby in each of the satellite buildings. Needs a complete makeover or become a new company line called Hilton dormatory .
I liked the location to oracle arena and the coliseum. What I didn't like was the squeaky floor above. EVERYTIME someone walked in the floor above you could hear it.
Eveything! It was really confortable and the environment was really friendly. Totally worth the money!
comfort of the sheets hallway carpet was old and the television was not modern
Very clean Very comfortable bed and room Close to the airport - good for very early or late flights Convenient shuttle service to the airport and BART station I could print out my boarding pass for free on the lobby computer Compared to other hotels in the area with similar quality, it's very good value Complementary wifi had issues - the signal showed as strong, but I would have to reconnect almost every 30 seconds, and that's not an exaggeration. The device doesn't have this problem with other networks, so the problem seems to lie in the network itself somewhere. There is free Internet in computers in the lobby, and I would recommend using that instead.
Proximity to the airport and the front desk staff was awesome. It was perfect.
The hotel looked a little dingy from the outside, so we were pleasantly surprised when we walked into the room. We got a free upgrade at check in which we were very happy with. The room had free wifi and we could park our car close to the room for free. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to the bart station, so it's quick and easy to get to Berkeley. The neighborhood is not too nice, it's not a good place to walk around by yourself after dark and there was some noise outside during the night.
Nothing. I hated my room. The shower curtain had mold and some of the towels were ripped.
comfort Performing the work of servicing personnel
I didn't care for the third floor.
Free parking. We stayed here because there weren't any rooms free in San Francisco which was our destination. We stayed here for 4 days and overall it was very good. The biggest plus is polite and extremely friendly owner and his son who did us a favor after something went screwed with our reservations. Rooms are fairly clean, and really spacious with a tv inside. I gave max points for location but for Oakland, for San Francisco this location is good only if you have a car. We found some hair on the pillow on the first night. There was always problem with towels, every night we asked for 2 big towels for showering, and got them, but the next morning we would again be given 2 small ones. Got soap only after asking for it. Wireless working a bit, and then not working...
for trips to san francisco the hotel is very good located - near the highway; the rooms are very nice and clean the location of the hotel is in a dangerous area of oakland (we found out afterwards); someone broke in our rental car (nissan versa 4) and stole our holder for the navigation system .. not very important or expensive but because of the broken window in our car we had a lot of trouble; the hotel stuff didn't help us in any way to solve our problems .. they didn't even gave us the phone number of the police station ...
The staff were pretty nice. Dirty mattresses. Molded shower curtains. Dirty furniture.
Dirty! Really dirty! I don't know why they got those good revives, I travel a lot, and read reviews before I book my hotels, this one was a totally mistake!
They had great customer service and the rooms were super clean. The bathroom, while clean, could use a bit of a face lift. This isn't necessarily a con, just a suggestion.
The room , the colors , and the cleaness of the room I didn't like that you could not renew your stay
located close to the freeway The staffs lack of customer service.
I asked for a non smoking wheel chair accesible room at the first floor, they didn't have it! They gave me a smoking room without facilities for for a handicap person. Neighbors we're loud all night! Bad neighborhood!
Staff was absolutely amazing! Really respectful! And we were situated with our room with no complications. The room was not fully cleaned. The bathroom towels were wet. Trash was not taken out. Before giving someone a room make sure it's fully ready. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and we will return soon.
Great value for the money, close proximity to airport and great security.
Nothing terrible
It was a very confortable Hotel. Very new and clean, bulit few months ago. I will go back for sure if I am in San Francisco. Very close to thwe airport. Very kindly they come to pick me up to the rental car location. GREAT !!!!! NO
Like that it's close to oracle arena and bart system. Staff during day time was super nice and helpful. Thanks Jordan, John, and Jose the driver was great. Didn't like that there was no continental breakfast for us. The restaurant is nice but pricey. Literally there isn't any shops around hotel. You have to take the bart to get anywhere. Good for in and out business but nothing else.

Feuerstein alleges conflict of interest at recall hearing
IONIA — Belding City Councilman Joe Feuerstein made the claim at Tuesday's clarity/factual review session that Ionia County Clerk Tonda Rich should have recused herself from the review session due to a conflict of interest.
In a letter directed to Ionia County Prosector Ron Schafer, and also delivered to The Daily News, Feuerstein outlined his reasons as follows.
Feuerstein alleged that Rich had a conflict of interest due to her "political activities" relative to the city of Belding.
According to copies of Facebook posts attached to the letter, Feuerstein believes that Rich's status as a member of the "Hold Belding Government Accountable" Facebook group, as well as her "like" status of and comments left on the "Give Jason Cooper His Badge Back!" fan page, warrant her dismissal from the election committee.
In a separate argument, but in the same letter, Feuerstein stated that pursuant to the Election Officials' Manual, Michigan Bureau of elections, Chapter 18, updated January 2014, … "All elective officers in the state" are eligible for recall.
According to Feuerstein, that language would mean that councilman Tom Jones is also subject to recall.
Feuerstein's letter states that in a conversation with Belding City Clerk Kareen Thomas, Rich said otherwise, that Councilman Tom Jones is not eligible for recall because he was appointed to his position, however, Feuerstein believes she is misinterpreting the language.
In an email to The Daily News, Schafer said he did not intend to take any action.
"Based on what he sent, the statutory authority for the County Clerk to be a member of the review committee and the routine, limited role the committee performs, my office has no intention of doing anything," Schafer stated.
At Tuesday's meeting, Sykes cut Feuerstein off, alerting him that the review session was not the place for such discussion.
"I can assure you that if any of us felt there was conflict (of interest) we would recuse ourselves and make that known," he said. "I can't imagine that any member of our commission would act inappropriately with any other alternative motive."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey, I have recently begun working on my first zine. It has what someone referred to as a "post secret" vibe. I was just thinking about how on a daily basis with go back and forth between thinking about intense moments in our lives, or secrets that we keep(whether we mean to or not) versus the little changes we are constantly thinking about, I wanted to see what would happen if people shared those, anonymously, to some degree. So, basically that is what I am looking for:
1: secret or intense life changing moment
2: small change you want to make in your life
The submissions can be as short or long as you feel you need, also the two points do not have to be related at all. I hope that you guys can help me with this or at least have some pointers or where i can get submissions, or tip in general. thanks !
Lourdes June

so it has to be anonomys yes? :)
well, it will be anonymous in the zine. If you want to message it to me that is fine, but also I have an email set up that others have been using to remain anonymous.

IRS needs bigger budget?
I might have made a slight mistake last week in putting in writing that I thought we were becoming weather-wise close to Indiana. Evidently, the weather gods were just waiting for me to write that article, because it has been winter since that time.
However, some people are happy with the cold and the snow. The ice fishermen are happy. The downhill and cross-country skiers are happy. All of the people involved in the Rockford Ice Festival are happy. The tubers are happy. The golfers of Michigan, however, are disappointed.
Let me clarify. The Michigan golfers who are stuck here in Michigan are disappointed. The Michigan golfers who are happy are those spending the winter months in states closer to the equator. However, those golfers still here have to accept the reality they have to wait until April to get back out on the course. I'm a golfer. As such, as with all golfers, shots go awry, so I'm used to being disappointed and I think I accept that reality rather well. I'm also a Detroit Tiger, Lions, Pistons and Red Wings fan. That also means I'm used to being routinely disappointed and most of the time accepting of a rather ugly reality.
Of course, just like in golf, there is always next year and, since I'm an optimistic person, it's going to be a great year coming up for me as a golfer as well as the Tigers, Lions and Red Wings. However, even an optimistic person can't see the Pistons having a good year.
In a previous article, I also discussed the difficult situation of the Internal Revenue Service. I believe it's called "Damned if you do and damned if you don't." Come down too hard on people and they are chastised by most everyone. Go too easy on people and no one chastises them, but compliance with the tax laws suffers.
Currently, the IRS has a budget of 11.8 billion dollars. That may sound like a lot, but according to a recent study by the national taxpayer advocate's office, it's not enough.
The amount of taxpayer fraud and identity theft cases grew by 20% last year alone, and there were over one million returns that could have used additional screening that did not occur because of funding or personnel shortages.
The IRS has made some changes in forms to deal with identity theft cases and to help clean up the screening process.
For taxpayers who have suffered through an identity theft crisis, the IRS is issuing a six-digit Identity Protection PIN that the taxpayer must put on the Form 1040 when filing. This will help the IRS to determine if the return being filed is really from the taxpayer or if his/her identity is being hijacked.
You might be thinking that it should be impossible to file a false return using someone else's identity. Think again. A Florida-based identity theft ring that was recently uncovered specialized in filing false tax returns for people who recently deceased. They created false returns using the deceased taxpayer's personal information and, subsequently, received millions of dollars of false refunds. Apparently, they were only caught because of dogged forensic work by the personal representatives of some of the deceased taxpayers and the IRS itself.
Think about this. There are millions of taxpayers who are not required to file a tax return. In reality, each of these taxpayers is a potential target of having someone file a false tax return without their consent, claiming a substantial refund. Since the real taxpayer isn't filing a return, the IRS has nothing to judge the fake one against. The refund will probably be issued.
This is a potential nationwide fiscal nightmare waiting to happen. I'm not happy about suggesting this, but perhaps the IRS does need some added funding, especially if they can demonstrate they have a plan and the personnel to keep this nightmare from happening.
The issue of taxpayers hiding money in foreign accounts has also been troublesome. To help find out exactly which taxpayers have money in foreign accounts, all taxpayers must answer a two-part question.
In the first part, the taxpayer must answer "yes" or "no" to whether the taxpayer has a financial interest in a foreign account. The second part asks whether or not the taxpayer is required to file Form TD F 90-22.1. This form is required for taxpayers who have $10,000 or more in a foreign account.
Mitt Romney will be answering "yes" to both of these questions. For the most part, when people are asked a direct question on a tax return, they tend to give an honest answer. These are direct questions and require direct answers. Most people are going to give honest answers and the IRS won't have to do any additional screening.
To also help in the screening process with the end goal of finding unreported income, the Schedule C, Sole Proprietor form, the Schedule F, Farm Income form, and Schedule E, Rental Income form, now require taxpayers to answer two new questions:
A. Did the taxpayer make any payments in 2011 that would require the filing of Forms 1099? Yes or No.
B. If A is yes, did the taxpayer file all required Forms 1099? Yes or No.
Now those are direct questions that also require direct answers. The IRS just became more pro-active in attempting to find taxpayers who are working as subcontractors for other taxpayers.
Schedule C, F and E taxpayers are required to file 1099s for subcontractors who are paid $600 or more during the year. This ups the ante on compliance because it is forcing the taxpayer filing the Schedule C, F or E to declare under the penalties of perjury that they have filed the required forms or are not required to file the forms at all.
As you can see, compliance is becoming more important. This is Jerry Coon signing off.

by DCW Publisher Steve Vickers
This article was originally published in the April 2009 edition of Drum Corps World (Volume 38, Number 1).
My memory of the Seattle Cascadesgoes back to the early 1970s when I was invited by Fred Lopez to attend several Drum Corps West Championship events in Washington. I was there partly out of curiosity about the significant number of western corps and especially the Pacific Northwest representatives.
The other reason was because my friend Ed Downs from Audio House in Lawrence, KS, was hired to record the championship and he produced sets of record albums. I worked for Ed as student at the University of Kansas, designing album covers for his largely school-oriented studio. His recordings were some of the finest drum and bugle corps material I had ever heard because of his re-recording the audio at his building, the empty sanctuary of a 100-year-old church which produced incredible "presence."
The corps in the Northwest were all wonderful including the Seattle Marksmen, Seattle Shamrocks, Percussion-naut Patriots, Tri-City Columbians, Flamingos and Spartans, along with corps up and down the West Coast.
Jumping ahead almost two and a half decades, the Cascades re-emerged from their primarily Western show schedule to begin touring on the DCI circuit in the early 1990s. They worked their way up the DCI Class A/Division II ladder, then made the leap into Division I in 1999, placing in the 2002 finals. Financial concerns took the corps off the field in 2008, but they are returning to World Class this summer.
Mike and I have talked about what the corps has faced the last few years and I thought it would be timely to let our readers in on what has changed to allow the corps to come back in 2009.
Steve Vickers: How did you get involved with the Cascades and ultimately chair of the board?
Mike Bujnowski: I marched in the Cascades from '72 through '78. My time in corps did much to shape my life, for which I will forever be grateful. In 2003, I became active in the alumni association, feeling it was time in my life to pay forward to a new generation what many others had provided to me. I see in the faces of the corps members today that same passion I felt decades ago. Making those experiences possible must continue. In 2005, I became a board member and in September 2006, I stepped into the role of president/board chairman.
SV: Can you briefly tell me what happened two years ago that caused the corps to not come out last season?
MB: 2006 and 2008 presented different challenges. In 2006, the Northwest Youth Music Association (NYMA) Board and the Cascades management were in upheaval, combined with the disastrous crash of the bingo operation right before the 2006 tour. While the Cascades were on the road, we were uncovering debt, which grew to about $250,000.
The obvious sane thing would have been to fold (Chapter 7). However, we stuck with it to rebuild the organization and resolve the debt. 2007 was a rebuilding year on all fronts, with great progress made, plus the corps had a pretty successful tour.
In 2008, NYMA (parent organization to the Cascades) was on solid footing. The guard and percussion would have been quite good, but we failed to retain/recruit brass players (and brass staff) sufficient to field a World Class corps, so we reluctantly cancelled the Cascades' 2008 tour.
SV: So you've been through a review process involving representatives of DCI visiting to observe your board and check out the corps' progress prior to allowing re-entry to the DCI schedule. How has that gone this winter?
MB: DCI's process for review is understandable and pretty straight forward. Maintaining a World Class presence is an important part of our objectives for expanding drum corps in the Northwest. We appreciate DCI's support in allowing the Cascades to field what will be a smaller World Class corps in 2009.
SV: I understand you've temporarily "absorbed" the membership from the Spokane Thunder. Was this primarily to ensure a World Class-size group for 2009?
MB: Thunder decided not to tour in 2009 due to the financial realities of a small corps in the Northwest facing an expensive tour spanning several thousand miles. With that decision, the Thunder Board decided to join NYMA. Since then, it has become very clear as the Cascades' auditions proceeded, that the added members of Thunder are making it possible for the 2009 Cascades to tour in World Class. The Cascades and Thunder are now very much one.
SV: What does that mean for the Spokane corps after this season?
MB: The re-emergence of Thunder in 2010 is a critical component of our plans. We firmly believe that Open Class must thrive if World Class drum corps are to prosper. In fact, both Open and World are equally needed for drum corps to survive in the Northwest. As such, we are aggressively working on not just the re-fielding of Thunder, but also launching two new Open Class corps as early as 2010.
Thunder in 2010 will be somewhat different than the 2008 corps. Thunder and our other planned Open Class corps will recruit younger members, the corps will perform more locally and tuition/tour fees will be targeted in the $500-$700 range. It may be that many Thunder members elect to stay with the World Class corps, but we do hope that a number rejoin Thunder as leaders and mentors to the new 2010 members.
SV: You told me last fall that one of your goals is to rebuild a small circuit in the Pacific Northwest involving not only the Portland and Spokane corps, along with the Cascades, but several other revivals or new start-ups. Can you give me any details on the long-range plans for accomplishing that goal?
MB: Without getting too far into future plans, if we fulfill our 2010 objectives, there will be five drum corps in the NW, plus our all-age mini-corps. With that, we can assure there will be NW drum corps shows, thus providing increased exposure to the activity within our communities. At the same time, tour costs can be kept low, thus placing the drum corps experience within reach of more young people.
These are aggressive plans. Just getting Cascades back on the field for 2009 and Thunder back on the field for 2010 will be a big accomplishments. However, even though the plans are a stretch, we think this could be within our reach — and that it's worth the effort.
SV: The corps' past director from early in this decade, Dr. Sal Leone, has become reinvolved. What is his role now?
MB: Fortunately, Sal has remained a vital part of NYMA with his involvement crucial to the organization's survival since 2006. His acceptance of the role of director of the Cascades both provides confidence that the Cascades will have a successful year in 2010 and allows other volunteers to focus on the expanded objectives of NYMA. Hopefully, Sal will continue to be involved in steering the organization's future. He is one of the rare breed, volunteering a ridiculous amount of time to make this activity possible for a new generation of young people.
SV: Several issues ago I ran a press release for the Cascades that reported on some service-type projects the corps accomplished during the year away from DCI. Can you briefly tell me about what that involvement has done to help your program along?
MB: We believe that NYMA can do more in the community than sponsor a single drum corps. In fact, we know that NYMA must do more to connect with the community, in particular music educators, if drum corps in the NW is to prosper. Last year we started a program called "Partners in Education" to loan marching instruments to high schools and we partnered in a new project called Music4Life to support elementary school music.
This coming year we intend to expand our "Partners in Education" program to increase the number of high school marching bands we support from four to as many as eight. Our goal is to continue to build our instrument inventory and further the advancement of competitive marching bands in the NW, which better ties us to music programs and in turn benefits our drum corps objectives.
We are also exploring sponsoring an honor band program this summer that may involve as many as 450 band members and we are looking into hosting brass and percussion clinics in the next school year.
SV: My friend Dave Endicott, a Madison Scouts alum, has been working with the Seattle Rotary Club — the largest one in the world, I believe — by starting a new foundation called Music4Life. It involves accumulating used musical instruments and placing them in Seattle Public Schools to encourage the reinstatement of music programs. Is this something that is directly connected to your Cascades organization?
MB: Rotary Music4Life is an exciting project that may grow to support communities far beyond Seattle. NYMA was fortunate to partner in the launch of the project, benefitting the Seattle School District, locating about 150 instruments and paying to increase two part-time music teachers to full-time status.
Led by Dave Endicott, Rotary Music4Life is now officially being created as its own entity associated with Rotary. 2009 plans have not yet been fully defined, but I expect details will soon be coming.
SV: What kind of program will fans see when the Cascades hit the road this summer — musically and personnel-wise?
MB: The show is titled "Beyond the Forest." It represents a movement toward creating a unique Cascades style that is enjoyable and memorable for the fans. Most important is that the show is intended above all else to be exciting and fun for the Cascades members to perform.
SV: Is there anything I haven't touched on that you'd like to share with the readers?
MB: Over the last couple years we have confirmed to ourselves that we want to provide young people with outstanding, life-shaping experiences, which drum corps does so well.
Whether the experience is with World Class, Open Class or at a community level, it is the experience of each young person that matters. As an organization comprised of committed volunteers, as long as we intelligently give as much as possible to the young people and the Northwest community, we think success for all will follow — for NYMA, the Cascades, Thunder and for NW drum corps.
SV: I'm very excited to see the corps back in 2009 — a feat that only a handful of corps have ever accomplished — and appreciate very much your taking time to discuss your plans. Have a great tour and we'll see you and the Cascades along the road and in Indianapolis come August! Thanks.

Beef Inside Round Roast - 1.8 kgs
SKU: BR4lg
Product Overview
Our grass-fed and finished dry-aged Inside Round Roast is the roast of choice on TK Ranch for simple yet delicious family meals — especially when served with well seasoned gravy and mashed potatoes.
Cooking Instructions
- Place thawed roast in an open pan.
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Place roast in the center of the oven and leave on high heat for 20 minutes to seal in juices.
- Turn oven down to 325 and cook to an internal temperature of 140F — we rely entirely on meat thermometers to ensure we do not overcook grass-fed roasts.
- Take the roast out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing — this allows it to reabsorb the juices and relax.
- Slice and serve.
All of our beef cuts are dry aged the old fashioned way for 18 to 21 days for added flavour and tenderness. This is very different from virtually all conventional beef found in big box stores or restaurants that has been wet aged in a plastic bag.
We believe in giving you the best value so all of our cuts are well trimmed and our roasts are tied. Our products are vacuum packaged to add freezer life and for convenience — simply thaw in cool water before cooking.

What is the phrf rating ...
What is the phrf rating of a Tayana 37
edit (now you say, "depends on what?")
Alright, fine, I'll do it....(this guys a terrible troll, bring back knotaloud)
"Depends on what?"
Depends on if you can type "tayana 37 phrf" into google or not.
Ahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa..........Aha.......a ha.....ah...a.aaaaaa
Some people just don't know how to use google to get what they want. We can find anything, like the house we are in now. We drove by saw the uncut grass and used the online tax records to find the owner's name and then looked up their number online. It's really scary how easy it is to find stuff online.
Anyway troll or not that is not enough info to find phrf on a tayana 37. might be different across the years and models.
Here is an example, troll...i mean scroll down
To save you using your dumb question log on, PHRF stands for performance handicap racing fleet.
I looked at 2 PHRF outfits (Chesapeake and New England) and neither had a rating for a Tayana 37. Could it be that no one races this boat???????
I believe PHRFs vary by the area you will be racing in. There are regional PHRF associations that set the PHRF ratings for that area of the country. If you are planning on racing you will need to be certified by the local association. The PHRF rating is also affected by the type of equipment you have, such as exotic sails, folding props, etc. Once you find your local PHRF association they typically list all the boats they have rated so you should be able to get an idea as to the rating you are looking for. Here is the address for the New England Phrf association, it should answer a lot of your questions. www.phrfne.org/
The Tayana 37 has PHRF ratings between 174 and 193 depending on region and perhaps configuration , the only two ratings that I found for the T37. By way of comparasion, a Southern Cross 39 rates around 138, a moderately fast, 1970's era 37 foot coastal cruiser would have a rating down around 110-120. A late 1970's performance cruiser might rate somewhere down around 72-90 and a modern performance coastal cruiser might rate in the 50's.
Needless to say, the rating for the Tayana falls somewhere slower than very slow.
While PHRF NE may not have rated any Tanyan 37s, they do list the base handicap for a Tanyan 37 in New England as being 174.

I have a 23 compact coming, a promotion through my local gun club. The gun hasn't arrived yet, can't say when the club will receive the order.
I shoot BE regularly: 9mm, 45, .38 and .22. I load for these guns with a Dillon SDB. I ordered .40 cal dies, brass and bullets, I could only get 135 gr FP for now (box of 500). I have primers and powder for my other guns and going through load data I find I have about 5 different powders on hand that will work. 135 gr seems small, how do these bullets function and do they hold up at 25 and 50 yds. for target shooting. I have 1 box of 180 gr. Lawman coming for SD, so I have this load covered.
Is there anything special I need to know for reloading for the Glock? Bulging brass, etc...
Glock does not recommend reloads. 165g bullet seem to work the vest and 180g max out the case and might cause reload problems
the difference between wisdom and intellect, wisdom foresees the dangers in life, and intellect studies the aftermath
I'd go with 165g and only new brass. Reloading can be done if given meticulous detail, following rigid specs. There are reports that 180g for reloads is too much.
Congrats on the G23. Always a great choice.
yo Bentrod,
I have a g23 gen 2 I have been reloading for it for years (it seems all gun manufacturers say no reloads). It is my only 40 cal pistol out of ten hand guns. There are extreme opinions on whether to reload hardcast in any Glocks some do it and clean "well" every 150 to 200 rounds and have never had a problem, but... most use plated bullets like berry's or jacketed. Until recently, I have only loaded 180gr bullets in my G23 and have never had a problem (1000's of rounds) but with the shortage right now I just had to settle for 140gr. I never approach max loads with the 180gr bullets mostly stay in the 900-950fps range with medium to fast powders that way the case never is a compressed load so no case problems. As we all know the original load for a sw40 was with a 180gr bullet and for awhile it was the only weight I could get to hand load. It seems that 155-165gr is the most recommended today but right now I am shooting 140gr or 180gr because that is what I have.
Reloading freaks me out...period. I'm sure there are lots of folks who have never had issues, but still...I don't want kaboom even in the back of my mind when I'm shooting.

I have been using 180 grn. plated from Rocky Mountain Reloading (in stock now) with 3.6 grains of Alliant e3 loaded to an OAL of 1.135. Very low recoil, 850 FPS and 1.5" groups out of my 23 benched at 20 yards. I have been shooting this practice load through 8 lbs of e3 and so far have not had a single issue. This load shows no pressure signs with nice rounded primers and no case head expansion. I have a Lone Wolf barrel in mine so I have to de-Glock any range brass with either a Redding GR-X or a Lee Bulge Buster but if you only use what you have already shot in this gun that will not be necessary. This load recoils less than a factory 9mm round and is very pleasant to shoot in a 23. Just make sure to plunk test your rounds and make sure when you drop them in the chamber they will spin freely. If so you should be fine. You may not like the light weight bullets in the compact since it takes so much powder to function the gun. You may find them down right unpleasant. I have found that the heavy bullets with the smaller powder charge to be THE most pleasant shooting of the bunch. I would not do lead unless you make a barrel swap, Murphy could show up and when shooting Glocks he is never welcome. If you need some bullets give Home page a try, good folks to deal with. If you need any brass www.acmebullet.com is a great place to find once fired range brass for $25.00 for 500 rounds. Also good folks to deal with.

OMG this sounds soooo good. Just need a spoon IMO!! Mahalo!!07-18-2009, 07:10 PM #3
This sounds good! thank you for posting. Is the icing sugar your talking about

Yes, the icing sugar is powdered confectioner's sugar.
This spread is the same as, or better than Nutella spread.
It would make good fudge balls too; just add less water and mix with hands, rolling into small balls. Then roll the balls in coconut, crushed almonds, peanuts or pecans, rice krispies. The fudge balls could be made as peanut butter balls (just omit cocoa), or as chocolate balls for more variety.07-19-2009, 11:44 AM #6

Sounds delicious! Is the cocoa unsweetened or like Nestle Quick? I love Nutella, so I'm sure I'll love this! Thanks so much!07-19-2009, 05:13 PM #7
Sounds yummy...thanks.07-20-2009, 07:55 AM #8
I just use plain unsweetened cocoa in the recipe.
It's quite versatile, and could be used for various Christmas chocolates too, or just some quick bon-bons for yourself or for company.
The only limit is your imagination.
Another way to make this is to wrap a ball of it around a marachino
cherry or a nut, then roll in powdered sugar or crushed nuts/coconut, even dipped in melted chocolate (for added decadence).
When I first made this recipe, the taste reminded me of the Ferrero Rocher chocolates.07-20-2009, 09:01 AM #9
OMG. I can already see the fights that are going to break out at my house over this stuff!!!
thanks - DD will LOVE this!

Within virtually any literature one would read about the New Rags, they mention ragtime as an influence. But, listening to Take Jennie to Brooklyn, that seems like a bit of a ruse. And really how much ragtime influences this EP doesn't matter; it is solid, accessible pop music. "Surf Seven Seas" is a great, grimy take on surf rock that gets stuck in your head. Opener "Your Room" shows off the band's ability to make the keys as percussive as the drums on every track. And "It's Over"—which, at four minutes plus is an epic compared to the other five tracks—is piano-pop bliss. The New Rags show an ability here to vary their style without losing their energy. And while I am not sure I can hear a ton of ragtime seeping into this EP, it is still engaging all the way though. The band might do better to drop the ragtime tag as an "alternative" marketing ploy, and keep churning out straight pop this good.
