Patch says "kitchen gadget set keep everything in one place for a good price" about Hoffner Gadget Set HF-5255

Patch — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 19:22:53 GMT

My new 6 piece zinc alloy gadget set in a wooden stand by Hoffner quality appliances. It looks good and keeps everything in one place. Includes a can opener, a garlic press, a corkscrew, a nut and lobster cracker, and a peeler in an attractive wooden stand. And everything works. I found it while looking for a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine....

Patch says "Poland welcomes Americans" about Gizycko, Poland

Patch — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 18:14:02 GMT

Gizycko, established in 1335 in northeastern Poland, is situated in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, the land of a 1000 lakes, has about 30,000 people.

There are several "sites" within walking distance. A castle built by Teutonic Knights in 1340 stands next to a hand turned revolving bridge on the Luczany Canal where tourist gather to watch the boats pass by and feed the birds. A water tower turned museum hosts a lunch room at the top. A still active 19th century Lutheran church stands in the middle of town. There are some beautiful Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches as well. "Feste Boyen", one of the largest and best conditioned fortresses of the 19th century; and a park with the stations of the cross marked by large inscribed stones take you to a memorial cross for Holy Bruno of Querfurt who was martyred in 1008.

The summers are warm and inviting and they have a grate carnival near the port where sailboats, fishing-boats, and ferries take folks across the waters shared...

Patch says "SFSU has grate profs." about San Francisco State University

I had some grate profs. at this school, SFSU. I took classes in Anthropology, Drama, Music, and Speech. My yoga class really helped me concentrate. The coffee was OK too.

The campus is beautiful and well kept. Well, it was in 2001. I really want to go back if I live in the area again. I was able to take BART from the East Bay and never missed a class.

The computer lab was a gate help with knowledgeable attendants. After finals you could find me in the campus bar with a beer.

Cons: I couldn't find a Prof to help me "write my own major"and had to settle for one of theirs. 2. Some Profs. were addmittedly Marksist and you had to slant your paper for an A. But that is how life is. If you go against the grain, be able to back up your possition. 3. I didn't understand "critical" writing and it was expected in a particular Antro. class; I could not find anyone to help me with that. How can you be critical about a subject you are just learning about.
