A long-time reader sends this dispatch from the 1961 baseball season.
On Friday, August 25, 1961, the Los Angeles Dodgers opened a make-or-break weekend series against the home-standing Cincinnati Reds at Crosley Field. Readers may recall that Cincinnati had supplanted the Dodgers as League leaders earlier in August by sweeping a series between the two teams in L.A.. The Dodgers went on to lose their next six games, and staggered into Cincinnati trailing the Reds by three and a half games.
In the series opener, Sandy Koufax faced Bob Purkey – a matchup of All Stars. In the bottom of the fifth inning, leading 4-2, Koufax reverted to the wild ways that had stymied him early in his career. He began the inning by walking Purkey, his opposite number. He then hit Elio Chacon and waked Leo Cardenas to load the basis with no outs.
According to the account of Reds reliever Jim Brosnan, in his book Pennant Race, Koufax's "wildness so disconcerted him that he stomped around the mound looking for control." With the Reds' two best hitters, Vada Pinson and Frank Robinson, up next, the Dodgers' two run lead looked precarious. Dodger manager Walter Alston visited Koufax and tried to calm him down.
Two pitches later, the Dodgers were off the field. Despite Koufax's wildness, both Pinson and Robinson swung at his first offering. Pinson popped it into foul territory for an out; Robbie bounced it into a double play.
In the top of the sixth, a two-run homer by Frank Howard extended the Dodgers' lead to four runs. They coasted to a 7-2 victory, with Koufax completing the game. Purkey, who had shut Los Angeles out on just four hits in the previous series, allowed six runs this time.
On Saturday, August 26, Johnny Podres started for the Dodgers. The Reds countered with Jay Hook, an engineering whiz was working towards his advanced degree during the off-season. The following year, Hook would lose 19 games for the expansion Mets. In 1964, having obtained a master's degree in thermodynamics, he retired from baseball to take a job with Chrysler.
Baseball-wise, Podres vs. Hook was a mismatch. Podres was 15-4 on the season; Hook was 1-2. Moreover, Hook hadn't started a game in more than two months and his ERA was an unsightly 7.60.
According to Brosnan, there was considerable head-scratching in the Reds dugout about manager Fred Hutchison's selection of Hook for such a big game. "What's Hutch trying to prove," pitching star Joey Jay grumbled.
The concern proved justified. Los Angeles jumped on Hook for four runs in the second inning. The only Dodgers he was credited with retiring were Podres, on a sacrifice fly, and Tommy Davis on a failed stolen base attempt.
By the seventh inning, Los Angeles had added six more runs, to lead 10-1. A Pinson grand slam in the bottom of the seventh chased Podres, but the Dodgers were never seriously threatened. The final score was 10-6.
The Dodgers had closed to within a game and a half of the Reds, with a double-header set for Sunday.

Microsoft is reportedly moving its CodePlex open source hosting service project to a new tier that will feature support for the Git distributed version-control system. Linus Torvald's Linux kernel development repository has enjoyed increasing popularity since its introduction in April of 2005.
Widely lauded for its commanding branching and merging support, Microsoft's move to align towards Git for this project is, arguably, further affirmation of its worth in the eyes of developers.
CodePlex was originally supported on Microsoft's TFS centralized version-control system as well as Mercurial; the latter sharing both of Git's open source and distributed credentials.
While it has been argued that Mercurial provides better tooling in some areas, Git's association with Linux, Torvalds himself, and the open source community at large may have all contributed to the project's deeper penetration and usage.
NOTE: Git's "About" pages details its core function as follows:
Like most other modern version-control systems, Git gives each developer a local copy of the entire development history, and changes are copied from one such repository to another. These changes are imported as additional development branches, and can be merged in the same way as a locally developed branch. Repositories can be easily accessed via the efficient Git protocol (optionally wrapped in ssh for authentication and security) or simply using HTTP — you can publish your repository anywhere without any special webserver configuration required.

Great risks can accompany great feats
Marathon speed hiker Michael "Mish" Popov of Walnut Creek died last week of heatstroke in 120-degree temperatures in Death Valley after going off course in a solo training run. He was 34.
Popov gained world renown in 2007 when he completed the 222-mile John Muir Trail, from Whitney Portal to Yosemite Valley, without receiving outside assistance, in 4 days, 5 hours, 25 minutes, a record at the time.
His partner, Sarah Spelt, said the two drove into Death Valley on Tuesday morning, when he surprised her with the idea of a solo cross-country run from West Side Road to Badwater. At 10 a.m., the temperature was already over 120 degrees and rising, Spelt said, and Popov did not start his run until noon.
"He went for what was to be a short run, cross-country, ending at Badwater, where I was to meet him, and he misjudged his destination, significantly lengthening his run and increasing his time out there," Spelt wrote in an e-mail to me.
Temperatures topped out at 123 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Spelt said she tried to talk Popov out of the run, which they estimated at about six miles.
"I said, 'Mish, you can't try to get across here.' I pictured him stranded in bushes in the heat, stuck, dying. I just can't get over that I didn't just slap him and make him listen to me."
Spelt said she and all who knew Popov are devastated and heartbroken. Popov was not only a world-class outdoor athlete, but he also was friendly, charismatic and helpful.
"I was there as medical personnel attempted to revive him," she said. "I was able to say goodbye to him before he and I, separately, left the valley Tuesday night."
His death might change how outdoor athletes approach their sports. In the current era, when nearly everything has already been done, it seems that those who attempt to be the first or fastest at anything in the outdoors must risk their lives.
Three years ago, I brought this up with Popov ("The extreme side of light," Sept. 13, 2009), and he said just a few weeks before, in a failed attempt to set a new speed record for the Muir Trail, that he thought he was going to die from exhaustion near Garnet Lake. So he took a photo of himself.
"If I died," he said, "I wanted people to know when it happened."

We have had several students come to us after completing their Berard AIT training. It is my understanding that students should never listen to music with the use of headphones. The following is a quote from the FAQ sheet of a Berard provider:
"According to Berard, if a person wears headphones to listen to music after receiving AIT, his/her hearing may return to where it was prior to receiving AIT. There have also been several clinical case reports of individuals who experienced a sudden loss of gain after wearing headphones. Berard believes that it is acceptable to listen to speech at a low to moderate level using headphones."
You can read the entire FAQ sheet at: http://www.aitforyou.com/FAQ/FAQ.htm
Fast ForWord uses modified speech, not music to train the brain. Gemm Learning has never had a problem with headphones.

*Important message from Our Founder*
"OOA switches gears after eight years"
Effective May 1, 2013 Operation Open Arms will dedicate itself to the care and treatment of PTSD. Our new criteria for eligibility will be (a) Documentation of treatment for PTSD by a military hospital or VA Facility (b) Documentation of appointment/counseling with OOA Mental Health Professional.
On April 19, 2013 Operation Open Arms celebrated 8 years of extending free one week vacation to 2,502 US Servicemen and Servicewomen. In this time OOA also sponsored 99 free full service weddings. Our former criteria was "Active Duty returning from combat and/or foreign duty stations."
The reason for this change is very simple to understand. The Department of Defense recently made a startling disclosure. More US Troops are taking their own lives than our enemy. Operation Open Arms must change. Our charity is now in the life saving business and we will make a difference.
Capt John "GiddyUp" Bunch
Operation Open Arms is a nationally acclaimed military outreach program founded in 2005 (as featured on the NBC Today Show) and is the only 501(c)3 public Florida charity honored by two sitting United States Presidents. Designated a public charity by the IRS in 2008, Operation Open Arms has no payroll or salaries. OOA is void of political or religious affiliation.
Since 2005, beautiful Southwest Florida has become our nation's most popular leave destination for US Troops for good reason. Those serving in combat or foreign duty stations can visit Southwest Florida and enjoy R&R benefits free of charge thanks to the Operation Open Arms' network of local sponsors of the charity. Operation Open Arms of Southwest Florida has provided charitable resources for over 1,900 US Troops and their families since its founding.
Our organization has a very simple mission statement:
To provide US Service men and women visiting Southwest Florida every conceivable benefit during their two week combat leave or return from a foreign duty station.
Operation Open Arms started with one fishing captain providing a free fishing charter to one service man whose only wish was to go fishing while on combat leave. It has expanded to a network of over 150 local businesses, associations, and individuals that support our troops with more than words—they enthusiastically contribute time, energy, expertise, equipment, facilities, and much more.
Our charity depends on tax deductible contributions and donations to provide extraordinary benefits such as free limo service, lodging, restaurants, fishing charters, golf, tennis, bowling, kayaking, biking, emergency dental care, and a cutting edge approach for the treatment of PTSD (Today Show 2009).
To Our Troops
Operation Open Arms is a network of business owners and individuals in Florida who wish to relieve the total cost of your combat leave vacation. The Operation Open Arms family of local sponsors will seek to provide every possible act of tangible kindness in recognition of your service, multiple deployments, and hardships cause by prolonged separation to military families. Operation Open Arms has never denied benefits to any eligible US Service man or woman.
How to receive benefits
Please read the eligibility information to verify you are able to receive benefits and get other vital participant information about our charity. Operation Open Arms is self administrating. Making a reservation or appointment within the OOA network is no different than making arrangements within the military.
*Operation Open Arms and our sponsors do not provide alcohol or tobacco products to US Troops.

Wind River Advances Embedded Linux
Real-Time Linux and More
Intel's Wind River software division is out this week with a new embedded Linux release that adds new carrier grade and workflow capabilities to the platform.
"Wind River Linux has supported PREEMPT_RT in various configurations since Wind River Linux 2.0 platforms," Paul Anderson, vice president of marketing and strategy for Linux products at Wind River told InternetNews.com. "We've continued this, but extended our support to include ARM and MIPS reference configurations. Wind River has integrated the latest stabilized features in the preempt_rt tree into our 2.6.34 kernel."
On the virtualization front, Anderson noted that there are a number of key improvements in Wind River Linux 4 including new hypervisor support options. Anderson noted that they have now included full integration with Wind River's own hypervisor which enables guest protection and separation.
Developer workflow has also been improved with enhanced integrations with Wind River's Workbench which is an Eclipse-based IDE.
"We have also redesigned and simplified the user space packages by logical and easy-to-use layers which improves user productivity and boosts performance," Anderson said. "It further helps customers simplify development of complicated software stacks. Different portions of the software stack can be kept separate, rather than mixing them together."
While Wind River has been enhancing its Linux platform over the last six years, it is still growing its proprietary VxWorks embedded operating system as well. According to Anderson, Wind River customers are increasingly using a combination of both VxWorks and Linux in their devices. Anderson explained that VxWorks is often chosen for specific safety and security certification compliance that is critical in industries including Aerospace and Defense, Industrial, Medical and Transportation.
"Linux tends to be popular where the above characteristics are not so critical and where a large ecosystem of new and evolving applications are needed," Anderson said.
Sean Michael Kerner is a senior editor at InternetNews.com, the news service of Internet.com, the networkfor technology professionals.

The Internet can be a source of information and illumination, but for some it's also a cause for worry, and in some cases, a loss of faith, as one Mormon man discovered.
Hans Mattsson, a "solid believer" in his faith, began to have doubts after friends emailed him about websites that contained information about Mormonism that contradicted the church's official history and teachings. Mattsson began looking deeper into the contradictions and discovered evidence of historical anomalies in the Book of Mormon, among other things. "I felt like I had an earthquake under my feet," said Mattsson. "Everything I'd been taught, everything I'd been proud to preach about and witness about just crumbled under my feet."
Q: Does the thought of your congregants possibly developing doubts because of information found on the Internet concern you?
I feel sympathy for Hans Mattsson and hope that he can work through his doubts. This must be a very difficult time for him, for his family and for those who knew him as a leader.
Despite his experience, the Internet doesn't really pose a threat to the faith of Mormons or members of any other denomination. On the contrary, the access to knowledge and communication that the Web provides is a great asset.
I have to point out that issues Mattsson raises aren't new. Most have been discussed within the church and among its critics for decades. Even the more recent matter of DNA and the Book of Mormon, mentioned in his videotaped interview, has been thoroughly debated.
Having served as a lay leader in the church I am surprised — actually, a bit skeptical — that his appeal for help was rebuffed. Even if that is true, church universities have websites that address Mattsson's questions at length. (One example: a 2011 Brigham Young University paper that looks unsparingly at Joseph Smith's marriage to 14-year-old Helen Mar Kimball.) There also are numerous sites created by individual members who discuss faith, history and doctrine.
Personally, I enjoy studying the church's history — even these controversial topics. They don't shake my faith in Smith or in the church he restored. Despite the sometimes rough edges of history, the fact is there is Truth, with a capital T, in what Joseph Smith taught. There is Truth in the Book of Mormon.
What we call "history" really is little more than a compilation of snapshots — moments in time — as seen from the perspective of a few individuals. The full truth, knowledge of things as they are, as they were, and as they are to come, is known only to God. That he has shared tiny portions of this with me and millions of others through prayer and study is sufficient to sustain my faith.

Two thoughts, neither original to me. Doubt is the beginning of wisdom, and belief involves accepting some things on faith.
It is no more outlandish for Latter-day Saints to believe in their story than for me to have faith that peace and justice are possible. Evidence to the contrary abounds in both instances.
Everyone should be skeptical about accuracy and quality on the Internet. Anyone can and does "publish" and we are our own editors and fact-checkers, which is sort of like being your own lawyer — and you know what they say about that. Nonsense and wisdom alike spread like wildfire.
Developing doubts means that thinking is happening, always a worthwhile activity, and especially necessary when we go online. We aren't to be mere sponges, soaking up everything and anything uncritically.

Frankly speaking, a Muslim doubting belief in Islam because of information found in some remote corner of the Internet does not rank high on the list of concerns for the mosque I attend, nor would I suspect for many other mosques around the world.
If after getting past the plethora of sites that take a bigoted or politically motivated ignorant view of Islam, if someone still finds something truly casting doubt in their heart about Islamic belief (i.e., what is put forward in the Koran and the authentic traditions of the Prophet Muhammad), then they should be encouraged to explore that concern, genuinely following it to its logical or spiritual end, asking God for guidance along the way, whether that doubt comes from the Internet or otherwise.
Indeed, questioning and exploring one's faith is a perfectly natural and valid human behavior. Islam teaches that God gave us free will, that he gave us intellectual curiosity, and by virtue of this allows us question why humans, religions, the world, the universe, even God operates the way they do. The Koran states that Islam is "for people who think" (Chapter 39, verse 42) and "for people who use their reason" (Chapter 30, verse 28).
As a result, a Muslim should come to, or solidify, his /her faith through an intellectual journey as much as a spiritual or religious journey.
Omar Ricci
Would that it were so, that my parishioners spent their hours on the Internet looking up religious truths. The Anglican ethos values human reason (meaning not only intellect but also conscience, experience, intuition and emotion) as a source of religious authority equal to, and meant to be in healthy conversation with, Scripture and church tradition. In our churches, as famous Episcopalian Robin Williams put it, "You don't have to check your brains at the door."
Still, Mattsson's "earthquake" experience, when greater knowledge was introduced to his faith, is not an uncommon one for us, either. As people first venture beyond their childhood learning and begin to explore, say, academic study of the Bible, there's often an era of shock and grief as cherished assumptions are undermined, altered or even destroyed. Adult classes in Bible or theology are sometimes marked by rebellion and anger in their early days; and first-year seminarians are recognizable by their unsettled, stricken look.
And of course it's a lifelong experience to think you know something of God only to find out, again and again, that God is bigger and different than you thought.
What I've found helpful, when some toy of my belief has been taken away, is to ask, "Is it really necessary to my faith? Do I need it in order to have the relationship I want to have with God?" Whether there were three magi or more, and whether they came to Jesus at his birth or two years later — these things aren't deal-breakers for me. Even the virgin birth itself — we could find some scholarly proof that it wasn't empirically true and Christmas would still work for me as the birth of God's presence in Christ.
If your Internet search unveils knowledge that crumbles something precious to you, try asking, "Can I still love God without this being true?" Then take a breath, honor that belief, grieve it if you need to, and let it go. God will come to you anew — because God is always bigger than our beliefs.

We've all seen that commercial with the woman explaining how she met her "French-model" date on the Internet. She believed that whatever's on the Internet must be true, but her date arrives and reveals obvious fraud. The Internet provides a treasure trove of absolutely great information but there's also a cesspool of nonsense that people believe because they "saw it on the Internet." Holocaust-deniers come to mind. So do Christian-derivative cults that spew falsehood at spiritually starving souls.
When "The Da Vinci Code" folly emerged, I spent much time stamping out disinformation fires, and I still must whenever religious sects, supposedly using the Bible, manufacture novel interpretations or claim "new," albeit erroneous, revelations.
Mattsson encountered truth regarding his particular cult because he looked for truth, and that was good. Jesus said, "the truth will set you free." It's not that a Christian denomination was shown to be worthy of abandonment, but that a cult that abandoned Christianity a hundred years ago had its curtain thrown back — at least for him.
I wish the People's Temple folks had been so diligent when Jim Jones claimed to be God. I wish Jehovah's Witnesses would scrutinize their Watchtower organization's century of false prophesies. And the Latter-day Saints, if they'd just look at Smith and his successors and the contradiction that Mormonism is according to the Bible, one would expect them to run for the door. But most will not because they can't bear the scary inevitability that they wasted their resources on falsehood.
Folks, it's not doubt about Jesus and the Bible we need worry about, it's how the cults preach "a Jesus other than the Jesus" and "a different gospel — which is really no gospel at all." Hans, you are welcome to worship at our church. We won't promise you godhood, but we'll promise you a good God, truthfully preached.
The Rev. Bryan Griem

No, not at all. In fact, I am reminded of an old Greek adage that says something like, "The unexamined life is not worth living." And I would say that the unexamined faith isn't worth having. It was OK at one time in your life, I think, to believe that God was like an old man with a beard and who lived up in the sky. But I'm guessing that belief has matured a little — and if it didn't, why not? I believe in the Christmas Spirit but I no longer believe in Santa Claus. How about you?
St. Paul says in I Corinthians 13 that when he was a child, he spoke as a child and reasoned the way a child reasons. However, when he "became an adult, I put an end to childish ways" (verse 11). Just as we learn to go from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division in mathematics, so too we need to grow in our faith. The faith we learned in Sunday School as children needs to mature with the rest of us.
Jesus says to love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength. Use that great mind that God gave you. And if you find out that something you believed was not literally true, try to find out what other truth the author was getting at. For example, I learned in a college Old Testament class that perhaps the Hebrews didn't really walk through the Red Sea when they left Egypt under Moses; perhaps they walked through some marshy ground called the Reed Sea and pharaoh's chariots got stuck in that marshy ground. Isn't the power of God at work in either case? Isn't the story just as true if the runaway Hebrew slaves escaped through marshy ground as opposed to the spectacular Cecil B. DeMille concept?
Look for the hand of God in the ordinary, the everyday — you know, like in an ordinary, nondescript stable. Why does God always have to behave the way you think he/she should behave? It isn't about you; it's about God. Grow up, and while you're at it, grow your faith as well.

Besides being baby sitter, confidant, floor sweeper, window washer, bad-joke teller and assistant secretary, every sitting minister holds the position of resident theologian in her or his church. We must always remain ready to discuss the concerns of the faith with our parishioners at any time. That is why it is important that sitting ministers work to be well-read and clear about our own beliefs.
My denomination, The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) insists that no matter what level of education each licensed and ordained minister attains, all pastors in good standing must formally continue their education. Part of that education is having working knowledge of how theology and changing culture constantly inform each other.
A parishioner who is having doubts about his/her belief, whether that doubt is generated from the Internet, a movie or a casual conversation, is a congregant who is also on the verge of a deeper understanding about their faith and themselves. A minister who is a good listener will try to connect the areas between the uncertainty of the congregant and the all-encompassing love of God. Ministers have doubts too, and sitting with another one of God's children to work through faith issues can be very illuminating to the pastor.
It is not a matter of debating the congregant, it is more of an opportunity, through listening and the mutual sharing of stories, for both persons to sit on the same side of the table and address the issue(s) as collaborators.
The Rev. Dr. William Thomas Jr.

When I think about doubt, two quotes come immediately to mind. Unitarian Universalist minister Rev. David Rankin shares one of them when he writes, "An honest 'No' is a glorious statement. Doubt is the expression of faith in the intelligence and imagination of humanity." The other comes from Anne Lamott in her book, "Plan B," in which she includes, "Doubt is not the opposite of faith. Certainty is." With those two thoughts in mind, I feel supported in not being concerned by what my congregants may discover on the Internet.
There are many other reasons why I do not worry about the beliefs of those in the congregation I serve. One is that we Unitarian Universalists are encouraged to ask questions about our faith, believing that unexamined beliefs may be misguided beliefs. In fact, two of our stated principles include a covenant affirming "encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations" and "a free and responsible search for truth and meaning."
Another reason that I am not concerned that my congregants will be misled by the Internet is that I really don't have control over their thoughts, even if I want to. It is not that I don't care what they think. But I believe my calling as their minister is to encourage them to explore ideas for themselves in the context of what I call our "beloved community." The great advantage of being a part of a religious congregation is that we are surrounded by others who are investigating life's meaning and purpose, just as we are, in a place of respect and shared values.

Access to the Internet opens up a world of information on any topic related to Christianity that you can imagine. At the same time, it also offers a cesspool of misinformation, often in the form of personal agendas that are offered as "facts." "Proof texting," or taking isolated Bible passages out of the larger context in which they are embedded, is a method that has been used for centuries to attempt to prove that Scripture says almost anything.
The best way to understand any piece of writing is to have a conversation with its author. The Bible makes it clear in 2 Timothy 3:16 that even though various writers contributed to the content of the Bible, they were all inspired by the same Holy Spirit of God. Therefore, as a Christian, if I want clarity about a particular issue in Scripture, I can ask for wisdom from the Holy Spirit, the author.
The apostle John, in writing to early Christians, reminded them that they had received the gift of the Holy Spirit, who always remained with them and would always lead them into the truth. They could rely on the Holy Spirit to teach them all they needed to know about God and his son, Jesus Christ (1 John 2: 27).
While we have core beliefs in Christianity, our faith does not rest upon a set of "facts" or a doctrinal statement. Our faith is anchored in an ongoing relationship with the living God through his Holy Spirit who resides within us. There may be things that we don't understand yet, and times we get disappointed, but our relationship with God's Spirit endures, giving us hope, comfort, strength and a sure conviction of his truth.
Pastor Ché Ahn
HRock Church
Jewish tradition has always championed the spirit of inquiry and encouraged people to seek out information. The Talmud famously questions everyone and everything in the process of finding the truth. I see no reason to fear an open flow of information or the questions that may arise as a result of close scrutiny. Moreover, if religious doctrine cannot withstand serious examination, then I believe there is an issue with either the dogma or those presenting it.
At the same time, individuals engaged in research need to understand that doubt and uncertainty can be normal responses to new information, whether it is found on the Internet or elsewhere. It is our responsibility to be diligent and seek proper answers to our questions. Often all that is required is a good teacher or an understanding scholar. At other times, the answers we are searching for may be more elusive.
I would strongly urge people with questions not to give up on their faith while searching for answers — even if it takes some time to find answers that are satisfying. In my opinion, living a moral life guided by religious principles offers benefits to a person — and his family, friends, and community — that far outweigh the need to immediately settle debate and resolve every religious dilemma. While we should not ignore our God-given ability to inquire and explore, sometimes we need to patiently step back and look at the overall picture.

Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said forward Luol Deng and guard Kirk Hinrich will miss Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat on Friday.
Thibodeau also said guard Derrick Rose will not play, as rumors about the former MVP's availability continue to swirl. Rose has not played since suffering a torn ACL in Chicago's playoff opener last spring.
Deng underwent a spinal tap last week to rule out meningitis and has been slow to recover. He had complications from the procedure and tried to take part in Thursday's shoot-around.
The 28-year-old Deng missed the first two games in Miami and sat out Games 6 and 7 against the Brooklyn Nets in the first round. In the first five games of that series, Deng averaged 13.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
Hinrich hasn't played since Game 4 of the first round against the Nets because of a calf injury. He averaged 11.3 points and a team-best 5.8 assists in the first four games of the playoffs.

I find this asinine. yes, there's a nugget of truth there, but it's not true that such people are necessarily bad at designing UIs. he's implying that if someone does anything "the hard way", then they're incapable of comprehending the "easy" one. that's just stupid. > Build them, fine, but I want the > application to be like an automatic transmission.. puts the power to the > wheels in an optimum fashion and I don't have to think about it, manipulate > it, etc." the reason it's a great anecdote is that it _almost_ addresses an interesting topic. the topic is manual/automatic vs expertise. it's not true, for instance, that I have to think about driving manual - I've been doing it for a good number of years and and I'm quite certain I shift better than automatic (at least the version found on mid-range cars). expertise of this sort is not terribly deep - practice it and it'll be downloaded into your cerebellum. the usual car clutch/stick arrangement is not necessarily an optimal UI, but it's clearly something that is not hard to automatize. expertise (in this sense, often used in psych) is no more or less than transforming a task that requires high-level executive supervision to one which acts almost like a "brain reflex". ("motor program" is actually a phrase used in the field!) computers are the same. QWERTY is not a great layout, but I'll bet almost all of you use it. does that mean that you're disqualified from designing UIs now? it's good to minimize the friction encountered when performing some task; it's NOT true that the only or best way to do that is by dumbing it down. every bit of dumbing makes the system less versatile. and the dumbing is not the goal - this is what is too often forgotten in UI design. this is why the gradual improvements made to C and Fortran have helped those languages stay relevant. yes, both lack the nicer syntactic sugar for structuring provided by C++ or Java, but then again, sugar is just empty calories. they don't change the expressive power, though they may alter how easily a novice can pick up the language and do something. an expert will be able to do the same stuff in any language - often better in a "low level" one, just as an expert can make a manual car drive better than an automatic. fundamentally, we tell users that their main time-consuming loops need to be in efficient compiled languages, preferably in highly tuned libraries like ACML. what kind of duct tape they use on the outside is pretty much a matter of taste. (we have a population of users who have "gratuitously MPI" codes - embarassingly parallel codes, often montecarlo, which are treated as MPI simply to reduce book-keeping. we're trying to figure out how to offer better duct tape so they can submit these jobs honestly (as serial jobs). to me, that's a lot more interesting than the particular language choice...) regards, mark hahn.

Kelly says they offered to give her a raise and let two other employees work part-time.
"I went home on Monday," Kelly said, "and when I called to check on Peggy Nelson and Casey Claridy, they said they were being mistreated. They also advised me that the manager had taken down the American flag and thrown it away."
She said that she advised them to go ahead and leave. "The owner said that some employees had thrown their keys in the floor of the convenience store and that isn't true," Kelly stated. "Casey Claridy, Peggy Nelson and Melissa Grizzle turned their keys over to the Chief of Police and asked him to return them."
The former manager says she doesn't think it is fair to take away jobs during these economic hardships, along with disrespecting the flag of our great nation. "We are protesting across the street and waving signs to project a clear message to the community that we have been mistreated
"We want to thank our community for all the support," Kelly commented. "They have been fantastic."

How can Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad help you while buying real estate properties?
Have you made a final decision on what type of property you are looking for? Have you decided that if you want to buy a villa or a fully-furnished apartment in a society? You can come down to a final decision after consulting with some of the best estate agents of your society.
1. how Under-construction property differs from ready-to-move-in property
Both these properties have their own advantages and limitations. An under-construction 1 BHK property is sufficient to fulfill the dream of owning a home of your dream under your budget while the time of getting actual possession always remains uncertain. With under-construction properties, there is always an attached risk of delayed possession. Ready-to-move-in properties are the ones that are finished products and immediately available to start living. These properties can be both furnished and unfurnished. The drawback involved in this type of properties is that the higher cost is involved while investing in such a property. Also, the Property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad recommends you to check the age of the property.
2. Difference between For investment and for end-use property
There is a huge difference in the property bought for investment purpose or one which you are looking to move in with your family. For both cases, you should obtain the best guidance from the Property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad.
Certain types of Property: The Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad are aware of the fact that people generally look for such properties which are able to meet the family requirements while making a purchase decision. So they will mostly select an apartment with multiple bedrooms and not a single bedroom one. Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad are also aware that the buyer will invest in such a property for which there is more demand in the market.
Locality and Infrastructure: People always prefer a convenient location which has all the transport options, healthcare, and education facilities and closeness to an economic or commercial hub. For this purpose, you can take the help of Property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad. While buying you can also inspect the neighborhood of the property which you are going to buy suits your style or not. Real Estate Agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad keep this in mind that people always prefer a good road network that provides the ease of connectivity to airports, metro, railway stations as well as bus stops.
Construction Status: For investors, it is beneficial to put their money in the pre-launch or launch stage to get quick returns. While for the end users it is better to invest in a ready-to-move-in property to get quick possession as per the advice of Property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad.
3. Which is one to choose from Fresh Unit vs. Resale
A fresh unit is one which is bought from the developer whereas a resale unit is a pre-owned or pre-lived home purchased from an owner. The pros and cons of both the units have been explained by Real estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad.
Pros and Cons of investing in a fresh unit
A fresh unit allows customization and to make changes to your home as they are usually unfurnished flats. You can also take benefit of various payments plan such as construction linked plan. Since 2017, it has become compulsory to register the fresh bookings under RERA, so as to introduce transparency of information and transactions. On the contrary side, there is a risk of delayed possession attached with a fresh unit and will also attract GST. On buying a fresh unit, you will also need to pay the percentage of brokerage to the real estate broker.
Pros and Cons of investing in a resale unit
These types of properties are recommended by brokers and property Dealerss as they are immediately available and are ready for instant possession. Also, owners of a resale unit are ready for negotiations and certain investors will cut down the prices to immediately sell the property and exit the market as explained by Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad.
On the other hand, buying of the resale unit requires a down payment immediately. Also, certain developers charge a transfer fee to give away the ownership of a property from the buyer to another buyer. The price of the under-construction flat also affects the brokerage fee you have to pay to your real estate broker.
4. How Freehold property varies from Leasehold property
Terms like 'Freehold' or 'Leasehold' property are used very often in the property related matters and might confuse you. Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad can explain you in a better way that which if these terms are related to ownership or control.
As per Property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad, if you will buy a freehold property, you will own the house as well as the land upon which it has been built and that too for a lifetime. You can live there for as long as you want can also make changes with due permissions. Hence furnished or unfurnished, apartments or flats cannot be freehold. A leasehold property is of one where you can live for a fixed period of time. After the given period in the lease gets expired, the ownership is transferred back to the landowner. While buying a leasehold property, you should ask about the tenure of the lease as it might influence the property's value, stated by Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad.
Get yourself the best property with the help of property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad
While selecting an ideal commercial property for your business or investment, you are required to determine various factors such as location, local job market, current and future initiatives with regard to the area's infrastructure and migration patterns by taking appropriate guidance from Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad. The important thing is to consult a good estate agent while considering the following factors:
Location is the most important factor while buying a commercial property as said by most of the property Dealerss. It determines the success of your business if it is feasible to the customers. You can take the help of Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad to look for a property in a prime locality where there are convenient means of transportation available. Commercial property in a well-connected area can increase business visibility and reputation.
It is important to plan a proper budget before purchasing a property. The property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad will be able to narrow down a proper property choice as per the budget of the customer.
Social Infrastructure
You need to check if the property has malls, lifestyle centers, and restaurants in the nearby vicinity so as to cater to customer interests. Any specialized Real Estate agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad can help you check the essential facilities like electrical connectivity, round-the-clock water supply, proper drainage system, or lifts available in the place. You also need to verify that if there are generators or power backup systems in regions where there is a shortage of electricity.
Other Costs
You should also take into account the additional costs associated with a property while making a purchase such as maintenance costs, building insurance costs and other infrastructure costs.
Market Value
Don't forget to check the market rate in the location where you are going to purchase a property. Also, if you are going to lend it further, check what rent you are going to get in that area with the help of property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad.
Some commercial properties might put restrictions on the extent of modifications to the interior or exterior of the properties. You need to go through the details provided about the same and verify what is allowed.
Make sure to check if the property is free from all the litigation matters. In case you buy a property with pending litigation, you might get stuck in a risky situation and may also need to give up the deal. This is when you should take advice from a real estate agent.
Legal Use
You should also be aware of under which legal field, the property can be put to use. For example, an IT company will use it as an office space whereas a manufacturer might use it as a warehouse or for another commercial purpose.
Physical Condition
It is better to know the physical condition of the property as it will let you know about the wear and tear occurred at that space and if the property requires any repairs or not. It will also help you determine the resale value and the expected amount of monthly rental.
How can Property Dealers in Ramprastha Ghaziabad help you in renting residential properties?
Before finalizing a deal you should keep few things in mind as it is not easy to get a furnished apartment or an unfurnished flat on rent.
Monthly Rent Amount
You should always try to research the current rent in the local market and should not only rely upon the services of the agents. This will give you an idea about the prevailing monthly rental rates in that area. Also, the brokerage amount is normally equal to one month's rent. In case it is a fully furnished apartment, your landlord can also ask for a higher monthly rental amount. You should always give importance to your priorities i.e. distance to your office, availability of facilities or furnished flats.
You must also validate the documents and make sure that the person who is giving the property on rent is the valid owner. You can check the identity proofs of the landlord such as Aadhaar card or PAN card.
Security Deposit
You will also be asked for a security deposit as a tenant which is usually refundable between one to six months' rent.
Rent Agreement
It is a legal document that connects the landlord and tenant to adhere to certain conditions and is drafted in the mutual agreement which can be provided by the Real Estate Agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad. It can also be drafted after consulting a lawyer. There are different types of rental agreements which can only be clearly explained by a professional from that field. Also, the agreement must clearly mention the monthly rental amount, but mentioning the brokerage amount is not necessary. It can be a tenancy agreement or a leave and license agreement. If the building you are going to take on rent is due for redevelopment, it must be mentioned in the agreement.
Normally the rental tenure is 11 months and the leave and license agreements can go up to 3 years. Some agreements also have a lock-in period clause where a tenant cannot leave the property or terminate the agreement before the period gets over. You can also get help from the Real Estate Agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad for this purpose.
Police Verification
This has to be done for both the parties involved i.e. tenants and landlords. In this, the police verify the documents and the identities of both the parties.
How can Real Estate Agents in Ramprastha Ghaziabad help you in renting commercial properties?
Following points must be considered while taking commercial properties on rent:
A commercial property invites property taxes, maintenance charges, and TDS. The landlord has to pay the property taxes, whereas the GST and TDS on the rent and building maintenance charges have to be paid by the tenant.
The tenure for the leave and license term can be 9 years with renewal options after the first term. Also, the tenure varies from state to state.
Registering the Lease
It is very important to register the lease with the concerned authority by paying the stamp duty and registration cost. You can bear the cost in full or share it.

Testament's Chuck Billy Talks New Album Plans, Touring With Lamb of God + More
Testament's legendary frontman Chuck Billy was the guest on Full Metal Jackie's radio show this past weekend. Billy discussed the band's post-'Dark Roots of Thrash' promotion plans, their fall 2013 trek with Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Huntress, and plenty more. If you missed Full Metal Jackie's show, check out her full interview with Testament's Chuck Billy:
Full Metal Jackie bringing you two full hours of metal each and every week. A returning guest on the show, good friend, Chuck Billy from Testament, what's up?
Oh, not much, how you doing, Jackie?
Good to have you on the show again. Lots of good stuff happening with Testament as usual. We have this new Testament release 'Dark Roots of Thrash' DVD/2CD release and of course this amazing tour with Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Huntress that starts Oct. 22. Let's talk about the recent 'Battle of San Bernardino' show. What an amazing bill that was. Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, Overkill. What do you look forward to most? Being on the bill with your peers? Your friends? Or sharing the stage with a band that maybe you idolized as a kid.
Well, a little bit of everything, but I think the looks in the fans' faces when they're -- I just know from the fans' perspective they're going to be so fired up. Just 'cause it's a bill that's something you might only see in Europe or something, not necessarily in the U.S.
Chuck, watching and listening to the new release 'Dark Roots of Thrash,' the live album and DVD. What do you hear and see that wasn't so obvious to you in the moment that you were up onstage?
Well, I mean, that night was a special show. We ended up adding songs to the set; I think we added about five songs. So, you know, it was—you know, it made it a special evening 'cause in the past we've been playing with the first live rec we did with Alex and Greg and Louie, back in '05. We were playing a lot of the classic Testament stuff, 'cause those guys wanted to just perform the old material. But in the last couple of years, we've kind of put stuff from 'The Gathering,' and then, of course, 'The Formation' and this record, so it was a little exciting and we were pretty fired up that we were playing a lot more newer, current material. And we're just seeing a lot more younger fans attending the shows and it's getting us fired up whenever we play now.
The last two Testament albums are arguably the best you've ever done. What is the trick to creating something now that surpasses the classic albums that fans hold so sacred?
It's hard to put your finger on it, but, you know, every record you do you want to surpass your last and you want to, you know, make it sound better and definitely have better songwriting. It's a tough call, but I think as far as Testament goes, you know, we're very fortunate to have Eric Peterson pretty focused, you know, on his own style and his own riffs that he envisions as Testament. You know, and we all kind of take little elements of what's going on today, what's current today, what people are doing today, and try to keep our sound and everything still sounding like modern and not, you know, a band that's been around almost 30 years. So, it's a tough fine-edged sword you've got to, kind of, balance there.
Because the last two albums were so good, will there be another studio album? And if so, what fires you up most about Gene Hoglan and getting a chance to be involved in constructing the songs?
We actually, the Lamb of God tour will be the last tour of the 'Dark Roots of Earth' touring cycle. We start first thing in January writing and hopefully recording the new record within the first three or four months. Our plan is to have a new record out by next summer. I think, you know, Gene and everybody that's in the band, you know, we've really been working hard touring a lot, and I think everybody's just kind of, like, you know, excited to write some more material, 'cause, you know, we did put our heart and soul into the last record, and just from fans and the press and everybody just really showing us some love with it. We're kind of fired up just to get back in there and keep it going, you know. In the past, you know, we've taken some time in between records to write and I don't know if it's just, you know, disconnecting a little bit with everything, but I think right now we're just kind of like, hey full steam ahead, let's go, let's tour, let's write songs and just keep it going. I think we have a lot more material that could be like it was off the 'Dark Roots of Thrash' record.
Be sure to check out the band on tour with Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Huntress starting Oct. 22. Are you looking forward to that? What a tremendous bill.
Yeah, totally, I think Lamb of God and Testament, we've been trying to hook up and play a show with them for a long time. We almost did a few years ago, then it just didn't happen and it's finally has happened. We seen the guys last month in Europe where everyone is kind of, like, fired up and I think it's about time, you know? So we're looking forward to it. I think Lamb of God and Killswitch, you know, have a lot of bigger fan base with more of a new type of audience that maybe hasn't really heard of Testament yet, so, you know, maybe there's ... I think it's good for us just to kind of get out there and maybe try to get to some of the younger audience as well.
Awesome, looking forward to it. Good luck on this new release "Dark Roots Of Thrash" Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Huntress and Testament tour starts Oct. 22. Chuck, thank you so much as always. Appreciate it. See you soon.
Cool, see you soon.
This coming weekend, Full Metal Jackie will welcome GWAR's Oderus Urungus (aka Dave Brockie) on her show. Full Metal Jackie can be heard on radio stations around the country — for a full list of stations, go to fullmetaljackieradio.com.

Herbert J. Gans Award Statement
Herbert J. Gans is the Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at the Columbia University. Over the past four decades Herbert Gans' scholarship has helped to illuminate social issues for the public, shape the thinking of policymakers, inform journalists, and guide non-profit and public agencies. He has published clear and accessible analyses in academic journals and widely read books, including (among others) The Urban Villagers, The Levittowners, Middle American Individualism, and The War Against the Poor. Gans has also reached policy-makers and the broader public through his writings in periodicals and newspapers, such as Dissent, The Nation, The New Republic, the Times, and the Washington Post. Herbert Gans has brought his sociological insight to a range of issues. Public discussions of urban and suburban life, American culture, poverty, and the news media have all been indelibly marked by his contributions.
Gans' writings are undergirded by a populist ethos, evincing a Deweyan conviction in the value of democracy and the abilities of common people. Often his work challenges traditional or conventional wisdom, as The Levittowners challenged the notion of suburban life as a social wasteland and his book Popular Culture and High Culture questioned elitist cultural assumptions. One particularly unique example of Gans' breadth of sociological interest is the movie reviews he did through the 1970s for Social Policy. In an era predating the emergence of "cultural studies," Gans provided sociological readings of such popular films as All the President's Men, Billy Jack—and even Jaws. In exploring popular movies as worthy topics for analysis, Gans demonstrated, from yet another angle, the importance of sociological imagination for understanding American society.
Herbert Gans has been a major public spokesperson for sociology. He has served as President of the American Sociological Association (1988) and of the Eastern Sociological Association (1973). He has been widely recognized as an important voice in the field of media studies, as reflected in his reception of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters Book Award for his 1979 book, Deciding What's News and, more recently, the Freedom Forum Media Study Center's Award for Distinguished Contribution to Media Studies (1995).
In his 1989 ASA presidential address, Gans called upon us to take the role of "public sociologists" more seriously. He suggested three distinctive traits that public sociologists must cultivate to be effective: They must develop an ability to discuss sociological ideas in accessible ways, they should have a breadth of sociological interest, and they must strive to avoid the pitfalls of undue professionalism in sociological social criticism. Gans' work stands as a model of commitment to these qualities, inspiring us all to be more publicly engaged in our sociological endeavors.

Baseball Blanks Missouri, Wins Sixth-Straight
Communications Sr. Associate
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Aaron Nola fired 7 2/3 shutout innings to propel LSU (No. 2 USA Today/ESPN, No. 3 Baseball America, No. 4 Collegiate Baseball) to a 2-0 victory over Missouri in the opener of a three-game Southeastern Conference series Friday night at Taylor Stadium.
LSU (24-2 overall, 6-1 SEC) won its sixth consecutive contest in its first meeting with Missouri (9-13, 2-5) since it joined the SEC last July, and the first meeting between the rival Tigers since 1986.
Nola (4-0) struck out 10 and did not issue a walk until the eighth inning. He threw 69 of his 103 pitches for strikes, scattering only five singles.
"Aaron was really sharp tonight; he pounded the zone and mixed his pitches well to keep them off-balance," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "The conditions weren't great for hitting tonight, and we managed just enough offense to get the win. Missouri's starter (Rob Zastryzny) was tough and didn't allow us to sustain a big inning, but I'm happy our players earned a hard-fought victory."
Missouri threatened to undo Nola's work in the bottom of the eighth after Case Munson lined a hard leadoff single through the right side, and Logan Pearson walked with one out.
Nola's final batter of the night, Dillon Everett, chased a 2-2 pitch low and outside for the second out.
LSU closer Chris Cotton came in to face Dane Opel, and Cotton won the lefty vs. lefty matchup by inducing a fielder's choice to leave the runners stranded.
Cotton gave up a one-out single to Kendall Keeton in the ninth, but he struck out two other batters and induced a ground ball to notch his seventh save.
Missouri starter Rob Zastrynzy (1-5) allowed just one earned run when Mason Katz jumped on a high fastball with two out in the top of the fourth inning for his team-high 11th home run, breaking the scoreless tie.
Dylan Kelly led off the bottom of the fourth with an infield hit, and he was on third with one out following a wild pitch, but Nola buckled down, striking out Michael McGraw and retiring Josh Lester on a ground ball.
LSU added an unearned run with two out in the eighth when Keeton misplayed Raph Rhymes' ground ball to second, which allowed Andrew Stevenson to scamper home.
Stevenson was hit by a pitch with one out and moved to second on a single by Alex Bregman.
Zastrynzy struck out seven and walked one over 7 2/3 innings, scattering five hits.
The second game of the series is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday. LSU is scheduled to start junior right-hander Ryan Eades (5-0, 1.63), while Missouri is expected to counter with sophomore righty Brett Graves (0-2, 2.64).
The game will be televised live by Fox Sports South.
LSU 2, Missouri 0 (Mar 29, 2013 at Columbia, Mo.)
Missouri............ 000 000 000 - 0 6 2 (9-13, 2-5 SEC)
Pitchers: LSU - Aaron Nola; Chris Cotton(8) and Ty Ross. Missouri - Rob Zastryzny;
Keaton Steele(8); Breckin Williams(9) and Dylan Kelly.
Win-Aaron Nola(4-0) Save-Chris Cotton(7) Loss-Rob Zastryzny(1-5) T-2:18 A-1263
HR LSU - Mason Katz (11).

Non-combustable, but not exactly inert. At temperatures greater than 200 degrees C it begins to decompose yielding an HF aerosol among other things.

Winchester Ammunition
Main Menu
Welcome to Winchester's product catalog.
Winchester® Supreme® Centerfire Rifle Ammunition stands as the most technologically advanced line of centerfire rifle ammo, like 223 ammo and 5.56mm ammo, in history - a history 127 years in the making. In 1873, less than a decade after the Civil War and when Westward expansion was in full gallop, Winchester introduced the first successful centerfire cartridge: the .44 WCF (.44-40). Designed for double duty in both rifles and handguns, this is the cartridge that won the west. And to hunters and sportsmen wanting the ultimate ammunition for any big-game need, Winchester has been delivering ever since including the best choices in 223 ammo and 7.62x39 ammo.
From SXT® to Partition Gold®, from Silvertip® to the full line of Super-X® Handgun Ammunition, and from pistols to revolvers, Winchester has set the world standard in superior handgun ammunition performance and innovation for more than a century. And to millions of hunters and shooters worldwide, the name "Winchester" means quality and performance - and the most complete, versatile and high-performance line of handgun ammunition in the world. In addition, for more than a century, Winchester has been the first to answer the call to arms by producing billions of rounds of small-caliber ammunition like 9mm ammo, 40 S&W ammo, and 45 ACP ammo to the United States military and its allies. So, no matter what the sport, game or circumstances, you can always depend on every handgun cartridge in the Winchester Ammunition line to perfom - as promised.
From the 19th through the 20th, and now the 21st century, Winchester has led the industry in ground-breaking developments in shotshell loads and shotshell components.
In 1997, Winchester introduced the most technologically-advanced shotshells in history - Supreme® shotshells. With exciting new Supreme offerings in 2000, Winchester is continuing a shotshell manufacturing pedigree of quality and innovation that extends back to 1886. No matter what your shotgun needs, we cover the full range of gauges from 10 and 12 gauge to .410 gauge.
Winchester owes its humble beginnings to Rimfire Ammunition. As a matter of fact, Winchester's first commercially available metallic cartridge ammunition was a large caliber rimfire load introduced back in 1866. More than 130 years later, rimfire is the world's most popular ammunition. As you would expect, Winchester has you covered with a complete line of high-performance cartridges including the undisputed heavyweight in rimfire ammunition - the 22 Winchester Magnum introduced in 1960. From precision target shooting to plinking, small-game hunting and silhouettes, Winchester is chosen by rimfire shooters worldwide whether you're shooting 22 long rifle or 17 Winchester Super Magnum.
Winchester makes the highest quality ammunition components available to the ammo reloader. And each and every component is made to meet and exceed the most demanding quality control and performance standards in the industry - Winchester's!

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Set between two major mountain ranges, the Olympics and the Cascades, with the Puget Sound's fjord-like waters to the west and massive Lake Washington to the east, Seattle has one of the most dramatic settings of any city in the country.
The frequent moody cloud cover can hide those jagged mountains but on clear days 14,411-foot (4297 meter) Mount Rainier can be seen from the city.
Reuters correspondents with local knowledge help visitors get the most out of a short stay in the northwestern U.S. city.
6 p.m. - If the clouds have lifted even a bit, there's no better place to watch the sunset over Elliott Bay than from the Seattle Art Museum's nine-acre Olympic Sculpture Park on the downtown waterfront. Besides wandering about the 20 sculptures from major artists like Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson and Richard Serra, you can enjoy further views of the changeable bay by strolling along the paved trail through nearby Myrtle Edwards Park.
7 p.m. - Head up to the Capitol Hill neighborhood and start the weekend with cocktails at Tavern Law, named by GQ Magazine as one of the 25 best bars in America.
There are plenty of handcrafted cocktails to enjoy in the Prohibition-era surroundings, but celebrate the start of your getaway with a custom champagne cocktail. Peruse the menu. The oxtail banh mi sandwich, based on Vietnamese tradition, will give you a taste of the Pacific Rim influence that figures in so many Seattle menus.
9 p.m. - Seattle takes its jazz seriously and there's no better spot than Dimitriou's Jazz Alley downtown to hear it. With any luck, a musician like Grammy Award-winning Arturo Sandoval will be holding court. Or maybe you'll catch the funky horn-driven Tower of Power.
9 a.m. - Fortify yourself for the day ahead with one of the best Mexican breakfasts anywhere at Senor Moose in the lively Ballard neighborhood. The crowded restaurant offers breakfast specialties culled from regions throughout Mexico. Try the outstanding huevos motuleños with black beans inspired by the Yucatan breakfast staple. Even though it's early, go ahead and get an order of the flawless guacamole and chips. It's surprisingly good with a cup of Senor Moose's strong coffee.
11 a.m. - Get a sense of Ballard's historic status as Seattle's Scandinavian neighborhood at the Nordic Heritage Museum and at stops such as the shop Scandinavian Specialties, where you can pick up house-made cured meats, homemade Swedish meatballs and a bowl of traditional yellow split pea soup.
Ballard also has a lively shopping scene. KAVU, a local Seattle clothing and gear company, offers the quintessential Northwest look, with hip interpretations of outdoorsy style clothes. Stop at The Secret Garden Bookshop which has a carefully chosen selection of books for children and adults. For lunch, head to the nearby Ray's Boathouse Cafe with views for which Seattle is famous, along with the seafood.
3 p.m. - Spend the next two hours absorbing more of Asia's influence on Seattle at the Seattle Asian Art Museum. The museum, which is situated in lovely Volunteer Park, showcases exquisite art from various centuries and numerous counties in Asia.
5 p.m. - Continue your exploration of Seattle's hot cocktail scene at the Zig Zag Cafe tucked away behind the Pike Place Market. Try the One Legged Duck, a blend of Rye Whiskey, Dubonnet, Mandarine Napoleon and Fernet Branca. Order a plate of marinated olives to go with it, or try the cheese plate. Much of the food on the menu is sourced at the Pike Place Market.
7 p.m. - Since you're already at Pike Place, head to Matt's in the Market on the third floor of the Corner Market Building, where the food matches the view. Meat lovers can try the Pork Belly Confit with kimchi broth. For those who prefer seafood try the clams with chorizo and cava or order anything with Dungeness crab or perhaps some oysters on the half shell. For a larger plate try the seafood stew.
9 p.m. - For a great evening head to the Triple Door in the heart of downtown Seattle, which offers music ranging from pop chanteuse crooners to Apple Jam, a group presenting a critically praised tribute to the Beatles. A great wine list is available, along with excellent cocktails and Southeast Asian inspired plates. The satays are a perennial favorite.
10 a.m. - For brunch try Salty's at Alki in West Seattle. It can be crowded, but the views and lavish assortment of Northwest foods on offer more than make up for it, including piles of Dungeness crab and smoked salmon, along with brunch staples like Eggs Benedict and Belgian waffles. Afterwards walk for miles along the waterfront through Alki, Seattle's premiere people watching neighborhood and beach scene. Seals often pop their heads up here, and you'll see ferries chugging off to local islands.
1 p.m. - Seattle is a book lover's town, and readers have many fine bookstores to visit. Seattle Mystery Bookshop in historic Pioneer Square is one of the best and offers both new and used books. Passionate, friendly staff can help you find the perfect read.
For an excellent general selection, Elliott Bay Book Company on Capitol Hill has the goods, many with staff recommendations, plus a great selection of unique cards. It's easy to lose yourself in the stacks, so keep an eye on the clock if you need catch a flight.
